The Hybrid
The Birthday is the first episode of the third season of The Vampire Diaries and the forty-fifth episode of the series.
A NOT SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY - On the morning of Elena's 18th birthday, Caroline is busy planning a party, but Elena is focused on searching for any clues that might help her discover where Stefan is. Damon is also searching for Stefan, while trying to protect Elena and keep her from doing anything that would draw Klaus' attention. Meanwhile, Klaus and Stefan are busy trailing a werewolf named Ray Sutton. Now working at the Mystic Grill along with Matt, Jeremy is struggling to understand why he keeps seeing the ghosts of Vicki and Anna since he was brought back to life by Bonnie's magic. Meanwhile, Alaric does his best to watch over Elena and Jeremy while dealing with his grief over Jenna's death. Finally, Caroline and Tyler face a new and unexpected challenge.
In Tennessee, an attractive young blonde is calling for her dog in her front yard. Klaus shows up using a Southern accent to claim that his car broke down down the road and asks if he may use the phone. The woman is understandably suspicious, but Klaus compels her to invite him in. The two meet her housemate and he asks for information about a "Ray Sutton." They claim he doesn't live there, but Klaus suggests that he must visit once a month - suggesting Ray is a werewolf. The blonde's housemate tries to run, but she is stopped at the door by Stefan. The girls give up Ray's location, but Klaus tells Stefan to kill the blonde quickly and make the runner suffer, before walking out of the house.
Stefan obliges, making Klaus smile at the screams as he walks away from the house. Back in Mystic Falls, we find out that Jeremy's working at the Mystic Grill now and it's also clear that some time has passed since the last season - Caroline calls Elena to chat about her 18th birthday party and it seems that Sheriff Forbes is helping them look for Stefan as she's passing on information about an animal attack in Memphis. We also discover that Alaric's been sleeping on Elena's couch for a while. Over at the Salvatore house, Damon's drinking champagne in a bubble bath, Andie's hanging around too.
Damon hears Elena arrive and gets out of the bathtub. Of course Elena is not too pleased to see Damon and throws him a towel (after he drawls: "You should learn to knock. What if I was indecent?") Elena passes on the news about Memphis, but Damon is dismissive, claiming it's just a dead end. He also bans Elena from checking it out, pointing out that Klaus still thinks she's dead. However, when Elena's gone we find out that Damon is looking for Stefan after all and what's more, he's using Andie's news skills to help out. She thinks she can help with Memphis and promises to get him an address. At the Mystic Grill, we find out that Bonnie's away with Family, but is staying in touch with Jeremy on the phone. But he hangs up when the lights start flickering, and then Vicki and Anna appear and disappear.
Matt arrives in a bad mood to ask Jeremy to switch sections. He doesn't feel like waiting on Caroline and Tyler. Caroline also suggests that Tyler's mom kept eying her up when she was over. Over in Tennessee, Klaus and Stefan arrive at a bar to find Ray. Ray is suspicious and soon figures out that he's in the company of vampires (though Klaus takes great pleasure in announcing that he's a hybrid). Stefan's compelled everyone in the bar so Ray is all alone - and refusing to give up the location of his pack. Still, that doesn't bother Stefan, who menacingly suggests that they're going to play a drinking game - "truth or wolfsbane". Then Klaus grins that "this is going to be fun", the only problem is that Alaric and Damon are on their trail.
They arrive at the house from the beginning of the episode and Damon can get inside without being invited which is ominous. Sure enough, they find blood all over the walls and the two girls dead and sitting up. Damon knows it was Stefan - it's his signature to pass out from drinking so much blood, wake up feeling remorseful, and then put the bodies back together again. To prove his point, he gives one of the girls a bit of a kick on her leg and her head falls off. Damon wants to keep the vampire existence a secret, so he decides to burn the house down - but not before Alaric spots a trapdoor and discovers an underground room with chains and realizes werewolves have been around.
Back in the bar, Ray's being tortured, he's chained up and Stefan's throwing wolfsbane soaked darts at him. He's still refusing to give up details of his pack. Fortunately for Ray, he gets a slight reprieve when Klaus gets word that Damon has been sniffing around. Stefan promises to go and deal with it - and vows to return to Klaus. Over in Mystic Falls, Elena's annoyed with Damon for not looking for Stefan. Tyler is unhelpful by suggesting that Damon doesn't want to find Stefan because he has feelings for Elena, but Elena deals with it rather well. When she's gone, Tyler reveals that he's bringing a date to Elena's party - "Slutty Sophie", according to Caroline. Caroline's naturally a bit hurt by this, but she pretends that she's cool, they both admit that they are very "horny" because of their supernatural states.
Later, when it's time for the party, Damon goes to see Elena - and returns her necklace as a birthday gift. Elena is thrilled. They go downstairs to join the gathering, only to discover that it's a full-blown rave ruining Elena's idea of a quiet night. Matt and Jeremy are already smoking weed together. Jeremy reveals that he has been seeing things, but doesn't quite tell Matt that his dead sister is one of those things. Meanwhile, Elena is not too happy to discover that Jeremy's getting high and tells Alaric to deal with it. And Caroline thinks Matt's "hatred" of her has driven him to drugs. Elsewhere, Andie's still at work - the last person in the studio.
In an unnerving sequence, someone shines one of the big studio lights right at Andie. She moves out of its beam, but it follows her and then it turns off. In the dark, Andie runs for the Exit, but she trips and the light snaps back on again revealing someone standing in front of it. She turns and Stefan's there. Andie's actually a little relieved and admonishes Stefan for being gone for so long. But Stefan shows his vampire face. Later, Damon gets a message that Andie wants him to pick her up, so he heads over to the studio.
He meets Stefan, who tells him to stop causing problems. Damon, of course, claims that he doesn't care about Klaus, but Stefan tells him again to let him go. Damon warns that if Stefan carries on they will be no saving him, but Stefan says he doesn't need that - though Damon points out that Elena thinks differently. Stefan at this point shows just how far he has fallen. He calls out to Andie, who is up high on a beam in the studio roof. Terrified, she sobs that Stefan has compelled her and she can't move. Damon tells Stefan that it's "not cool", but Stefan chillingly replies: "Oh, come on. It's a little bit cool." And then he tells Andie that she can move, she falls and breaks her neck. Back at the party, Caroline is downing alcohol at an alarming rate as she watches Tyler dance with Sophie.
Matt appears, but it soon descends into a row and Tyler comes over to check everything's ok. Sophie compliments Caroline on the Party and she compels Sophie to go home. Later, a furious Caroline lifts up a party goer who's in her way and dumps him at the side. It's not long before Elena finds Caroline hiding out in Damon's room. Elena admits she's not really feeling up for cake, but Caroline tells her she has to make a wish and get on with her life. Elena doesn't take too kindly to this - she doesn't want to give up on finding Stefan - but Caroline points out that her life is passing her by. Elena announces that her only wish is to know that Stefan is alive. She's soon distracted though, when she spots Damon's cupboard full of maps and newspaper cuttings. When Damon gets back, she accuses him of making her feel like an idiot for having hope. Damon tells her that they were both idiots. He announces that the victims they were both trying to track were not Klaus', but Stefan's. Elena refuses to believe it, but Damon confirms that Stefan has flipped a switch and is back to being a full-blown ripper. He tells Elena that Stefan's gone and is not coming back in her lifetime.
He leaves, meanwhile, Jeremy offers to give a drunk and high Matt a ride home, but he suddenly sees Vicki in the car, asking him for help. He says: "Vicki", which confuses Matt. Jeremy tries to shake it off and turns on the headlights, but Anna is standing right there. Eventually, he decides it would be best to walk. When they get back, Matt asks Jeremy why he said Vicki's name - and realizes that earlier Jeremy had been seeing things. Jeremy admits that he keeps seeing Vicki, but Matt shrugs it off, saying that he always sees Vicki because he misses her so much. Stefan returns to Klaus, who has extracted the wolf pack information from Ray. Klaus announces that he now has to go through a three-stage process. First, he feeds Ray his blood and then he swiftly breaks his neck. Klaus says he knew Stefan would come back and Stefan, for his part, claims that he doesn't care about anything anymore. Interestingly, Klaus accuses him of putting on a "good show". He says Stefan will never stop caring about his family, but the blood makes it easier to let go. Back in Mystic Falls, Damon's on a rampage, smashing up his room in anger and sadness.
Meanwhile, Elena returns home and finds Alaric moving out. It seems that spending the evening at a party where a lot of underage kids were drinking and doing drugs made Alaric realize he's not a great role model and Elena would be better off looking after herself. Elena goes to get ready for bed just as Stefan leaves the bar in Tennessee, looking a bit sick. He calls Elena, but when she picks up he remains silent. Elena realizes who is on the phone. She tells him he will be alright and tells him to hold on to the fact that she loves him. Stefan nods and begins to cry.
Back at the party, Tyler and Caroline argue about Tyler bringing a date. Tyler says he won't date anyone else if Caroline just tells him not to. Happily, Caroline makes it easy by giving him a kiss. They rush out of the party and are soon kissing again. The two go back to Tyler's house and have sex. The episode ends with Caroline sneaking out.
Unfortunately, she doesn't get past Carol Lockwood. When Caroline touches her purse, her hand suddenly burns. And then Carol shoots her with what appears to be vervain until she passes out on the floor.

- Damon: Hey, you should learn to knock, what if I was... indecent.
- Damon: Stefan, for sure.
- Alaric: How do you know?
- Damon: It's his signature, it's the reason they call him the ripper. Feeds so hard he blacks out and rips them apart, but then when he's done, he feels remorse. That's the damn thing, he put the bodies back together.

- Klaus: Aah, you all sound so tedious, aren't you even having the least bit of fun?
- Stefan: I'll make sure that my brother doesn't bother us any more.
- Caroline: (About Matt) He hates me. His hatred of me has driven him to drugs!
- Elena: He doesn't hate you, he hates that he's not with you.
- Damon: Well, hold the fort down, will ya?
- Alaric: You mean the fort full of my drunken history students?
- Damon: Drink more, you will feel less weird.
- Elena: I think I'm gonna pass on the whole cake thing.
- Caroline: What? No, no way, no! It's your birthday! You know it's the dawn of a new day, and you can't get on with you're life until you have made a wish and blown out the candles.
- Elena: Is that what you all want me to do? Just get on with my life?

- Damon: With who? Klaus? I'm supposed to care what he thinks?
- Stefan: What you're supposed to do is let me go.
- Damon: I saw your latest artwork in Tennessee. You're walking a fine line there, my friend. Keep that up and there will be no saving you.
- Stefan: See, the thing is, I don't need any saving. I just want you to let me go.
- Stefan: (To Damon) Let. Me. Go.
- Elena: We're supposed to be in this together. Why didn't you tell me that you've been tracking Klaus' victims?

- Employee satisfaction across the federal government is sagging. Figures from the 2012 Employee Viewpoint Survey show less happiness with pay, with the agency and with supervisors than a year earlier. The survey is conducted annually by the Office of Personnel Management. OPM director John Berry cites budget-related stresses on public servants as lowering job satisfaction. For the latest survey, OPM had its biggest sample ever. Nearly 700,000 employees responded to the survey, which was sent to 1.6 million. Only 59 percent said they were satisfied with their pay, down four points from a year earlier. (Federal News Radio)
- The White House is claiming victory in the battle to lower improper payments. Controller Danny Werfel said that in the last three years, the federal government avoided making $47 billion in overpayments. He said the government's error rate dropped from a high of 5.4 percent in Fiscal Year 2009 to 4.3 percent last year. Werfel made the claims in a blog post just before Thanksgiving. He said error rates dropped in Medicare Fee-For-Service, Medicaid and in the Agriculture Department's food stamps program. DoD avoided tens of billions in overpayments in commercial contracts over the same period, according to the blog post. (Federal News Radio)
- Next year's Congress will have nine freshmen who are veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. Among them is Tammy Duckworth, a former assistant secretary at the Department of Veterans Affairs during President Obama's first term. Duckworth lost both legs while piloting a helicopter in Iraq that was hit with a grenade launcher in 2004. Veterans in Congress have been declining since the mid-1970s, when 400 of the 535 members were vets. Now only 100 members are veterans. The new class includes a former combat surgeon, chaplain, infantry platoon leader and judge advocate. (Federal News Radio)
- A federal employee union and the Environmental Protection Agency have reached a stalemate in contract negotiations. That's prompted the union to call the agency, anti-union. GovExec reports, the American Federation of Government Employees Council 238 has asked the Federal Service Impasses Panel to resolve the dispute. The union said it has been trying to negotiate a working conditions contract since May 2010. It accused EPA of delaying tactics and bad-faith bargaining. The Impasses Panel is part of the Federal Labor Relations Authority. (GovExec)
- A fire at State Department headquarters has injured three workers. A State Department spokeswoman said the fire broke out Saturday morning during routine duct work on the seventh floor. Employees were able to put out the blaze before firefighters arrived, but three people suffered burns. One person sustained life-threatening injuries. The building was temporarily evacuated but has now reopened. (Federal News Radio)

Virginie Faivre
Swiss Miss Virginie Faivre has been charging hard for the last few seasons, leading the evolution of women's freestyle skiing from the only place to be – the front.
The exploits of fellow Euro Candide Thovex inspired Virginie to embark on a professional career in the sport, and she now gets to travel the globe on the hunt for the deepest powder and best snowparks.
Innsbruck (AUT),January 8th, 2013 – The online video contest "CONTOUR WANNA BE AQUEEN" gives talented freeski ladies the opportunity to apply for one of thecoveted spots on the Nine Queens castle until February 25th. Theultimate contest "for girls only" also introduces a few exciting new elements this year.
All eyes of thefreeski world will once again be on Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis from March 11 to 16,2013. For the third time already, the attractive skiing region in Tyrolprovides the backdrop for the unique skiing event with the snow castle. After two successful editions, the Nine Queens has become an integral part of theinternational event schedule and in March, several innovations will make sureto set the bar even higher.
One new elementis the obstacle that event initiator and freeski legend Nico Zacek has come upwith together with the experts from Schneestern Parks and More. The plan is tobuild an enchanted fairytale castle from snow and ice that will require weeksof shaping and over 50,000m3of snow. The construction is centred around a kicker that offers the Queensperfect conditions to prove their skills with jumps up to 23 meters long.
Virginie Faivre, multiple winner of the European Open and host of Nine Queens activelysupervised the planning of her castle and is delighted with the result: "Girls'freeskiing has evolved in leaps and bounds over the past few years. The chateauis custom-made for our needs and once again plays a great part in continuingthe forward development."
No lessimportant for the sport's evolvement are the best freeski ladies in the worldwho will follow Virginie's invitation to Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis. Multiple X-Gameswinner Kaya Turski and former World Champion Anna Segal have confirmed theirparticipation, while the European freeski elite around Emma Dahlström, Eveline Bhend and Caja Schöpf havealready secured their spot on the castle as well.
However, the riders' list is not quitecomplete yet. The "CONTOUR Wanna be a Queen" online video contest invitestalented female riders to apply for participation in the Nine Queens. Anyfreeski lady who wants to seize this opportunity should submit a video edituntil February 15th at the latest to show her nine best tricks. Thejury wants to see a lot of airtime on kicker, quarter, halfpipe or hip as wellas three rail shots.

We will keep you posted!
O'Neill team rider Virginie FAIVRE (CH) has been crowned FIS Halfpipe World Champion after winning gold in spectacular style at the 2009 FIS World Ski Championships in Inawashiro, Japan.
The 26-year-old beat a field of top international riders, including Winter X Games medalists Megan Gunning (CAN) and Jen Hudak (USA), to claim top honors and realize what ranks as her greatest career victory to date. Speaking to the press in the immediate aftermath of the event, Virginie said: "This is the best day of my life! I've worked really hard in the last few years to learn new tricks and hone my skills. After only just missing out on the top spot at last week's Nippon Freeski Open, this FIS World Championship title more than makes up for it – it's very special!"
Hailing from the picturesque mountainside town of Montreux in Switzerland, Virginie has been skiing for as long as she's been able to walk. After bashing racing gates for 10 years, Virginie only switched her attention from alpine racing to freestyle skiing in 2002. Marking herself out as one of the brightest young talents of the freestyle scene during those early years, Virginie announced her arrival on the global freestyle stage with a victory in the Slopestyle event at the European Freeski Open in 2006. Since then, the ever-stylish Swiss Miss – equipped with her awe-inspiring bag of gravity-defying tricks – has been busy traveling the world, filming video parts and competing in the world's biggest events.
O'Neill Global Snow Team Manager Franck Corbery couldn't be prouder of Virginie and her latest achievement, and said: "I'm really stoked for Virginie. She's one of the most determined and talented freestyle skiers of her generation, and to see her pull off something like this is just incredible. She's been threatening to score a result of this magnitude for some time, and it's safe to say her time has now come. I've no doubt she'll take the momentum of this victory and charge even harder into what's left of the season and what lies beyond. Congrats Virginie!"
From the Land of the Rising Sun, Virginie has already traveled back to Europe to battle it out for the overall title at the World Cup Finals in La Plagne, France before competing in the European Freeski Open in Laax, Switzerland as a three-time winner of the Slopestyle event. Given her current form, Virginie is in a great position to add yet more titles to her name in the Alps later this month. Beyond that, the newly crowned World Champion has her sights set on filming a jaw-dropping video part, scoring an elusive X Games medal and dreams of one day competing in the Olympic Games.
We'll leave the last word to Virginie: "This trip to Japan and my first world title is something I'll remember for the rest of my life. Thank you to all my friends, family and sponsors for all the support they've given me over the years!"
Swiss freeskier, Virginie Faivre, took home the top prize at the 2008 European Freeski Open in Laax on the weekend – for the third time in a row.
The 25 year old from Montreux was unbeatable in the slopestyle competition – with a huge kork 5, a mute switch 3 and a kork 3 mute over the kickers…and 85.40 points.
"I can't be more happy than now!! It's just too crazy," she said. "I can't believe it!"
"I was the only Swiss rider to be on the podium. And winning for a 3rd time here at home was just amazing. It means a lot to me."
- What made you decide that you wanted to turn skiing into your profession?
"When sponsors offerd me money to ski..."
- What do you enjoy about taking part in competitions?
"It gives you a big rush and sometimes make you go over the limits"
- What's the most exciting thing going on in skiing right now?
"Girls are so hot right now!!!!"
- Who do you look up to as a ski legend?
"Candide Thovex is the legend for the ski freestyle"
- Other than home, where is your favorite place to ski, and why?
"Whistler for his great and diversity of terrain, and the big amount of snowfalls. (I've done so many powder days there!) Canada is beautiful, and I'm always really excited to go back there to see all my friends...."
- Which kids do you think are going to make it big in the next few years?
"You never know, kids are learning sooo fast! But I'll go with Sean Pettit and Thomas Krief..."
- What was the best thing you did last season, and why?
"The best thing we did was to create our video production, called Snowhite. We can show the woman side of the sports. It's going to get bigger with the years!"
- How did you first get sponsored, and what would your advice be for any young skiers looking to make a living from skiing?
"I competed in some big events, and got good results. Then my friends helped me out with their sponsors. As we were not too many girls around at this time, that went pretty well! For advice, I will say : " Go ski, make some contests and then if you deserve it, sponsors will come to you... "
- What's the best thing about being a pro skier?
"It's to get paid for doing your passion, you can ski everyday and travel around the world!"
- What's your main goal for next season?
"My main goal is to film a maximum with Snowhite, to be able to make a full segment; with backcountry, park, half-pipe and street rails"
- Describe your perfect day:
"It's to wake up in the arms of my lover, see the fresh powder outside and the sunshine. Then go ride a perfect kicker in the backcountry, and session it with my buddies!!!!"
- Which is your favorite O'Neill product and why?
"The gloves with the wi-fi system. I love to ride with the music, and this system is great for riding and being with your friends! As you can stop the music, or change the song whenever you want, without taking the gloves out.... and you have no wires!
For the technical wear, I love the denim pants for riding!"

As well, if i created a poll on a website saying "Would you call the cops if you knew about a grown man molesting a child" how many people do you think would vote "yes"? Im willing to bet 99% of the people that voted would. Sadly, Joe Paterno would be the 1%.
This isnt some media concoction created to drive down the popularity of a single coach. This is a heart wretching case that effects every single person who learns about it. Its almost impossible NOT to have a strong emotion about this subject. There is a very real outrage and its a deserving outrage.
People wanted to forgive and look the other way to Bobby Bowden when FSU was caught in a cheating scandel. People still cheer for Michael Vick. Of course biased individuals are going to be quick to forgive Joe Paterno. But anyone with a sense of morality knows he screwed up big time. He himself admitted he should have done more.
For those of us who acknowledge he is legally innocent but still morally guilty want blood in the water. We want the people who covered this up, and therefore enabled the monster to continue, locked up in the cells next to the child molester. By all accounts, by admitted statements, Paterno was one of those individuals. He could have stopped this...but didnt.
And for the record, while i was explaining why a single poll is flawed, i will say this: i really dont give a damn about poll numbers when it comes to this sort of crime. That poll could read 100% of the population in the world want him to keep coaching. Doesnt matter to me. My ethics aren't up popularity contests.

|The MLB Diversity Business Summit is the premier sports employment conference and supplier diversity trade fair. This two-day event allows job seekers and entrepreneurs the unique opportunity of meeting with MLB's Clubs at both the Major League and Minor League levels as well as sponsorship partners.
"Im very thankful to have had the opportunity to participate in the 2013 MLB Diversity Summit exploratory interviews. My interview with the Arizona Diamondbacks went well. I was offered a position in the Inside Sales Program and moved out here to Arizona about 3-4 weeks later. That was my first time attending the MLB Diversity Summit. Thanks again!"
"My name is Danielle Lugo, I'm 22, and graduated May 2013 from Morgan State University in Baltimore. I'm from East Los Angeles, California. I was sponsored for the past two years to attend the MLB Diversity Summit. My summit success story was not from an interview, but from riding the same bus to the ball park at the right time with the Minor League President Pat O'Connor. I am now employed by the Urban Youth Academy in Compton teaching softball to youth of all ages. The summit was an absolutely amazing experience and anyone interested in a career in baseball should attend."
"Through the supported efforts from Major League Baseball's Diversity Summit, I was able to contribute to delivering scholarships to students at Texas Southern University to attend the summit. As the results of my efforts I became the President of my schools Sport Studies Leadership Association. This ultimately led to a phenomenal internship with Major League Baseball in the Youth and Facility Development department."
"It has been one week since the Diversity Business Summit has came to a close, and to my surprise, I am still experiencing a great deal of residual excitement. All 30 clubs under one roof, with both owner's and execs expressing such commitment and enthusiasm...it was truly inspirational. I was both honored and thankful to have been a part of it all...it enhanced my pride as an American and fortified my faith in my country...it was phenomenal!"
"The Diversity Business Summit was a tremendous experience that has not only benefitted me, but has also provided an opportunity for countless job-seekers in attaining employment in the business of baseball. As an attendee of the 2012 event and a panelist at the 2013 event, I can whole-heartedly say that this is the most opportune experience anyone can acquire no matter their level of interest. Whether you are a job candidate, a supplier, or someone simply who appreciates the game, this is something that you cannot afford to miss. I have reveled in my experience and I hope others seek to share the success I have gained from it."
"I was given the opportunity to attend the first MLB Diverse Business Summit in Chicago the summer of 2012 and it was a great experience. After the Business Summit, I continued to network with sports professionals that I had met while in Chicago. A few months later, I received an email from the Philadelphia Phillies requesting that I come in for an interview. My interview went extremely well and I was offered an internship as a Ticket Service Representative. Working in the ticket office has been a great experience for me to meet different people and work hands on in a professional sports environment."

The MIRAGE (Modeling International Relationships in Applied General Equilibrium) model is a multi-country, multi-sector dynamic model, developed initially at the Centre d'Etudes Prospectives et d'Informations Internationales (CEPII) in Paris (France). Beyond IFPRI and CEPII, the model is now shared with different institutions such as the European Commission DG Trade and DG Entretprise (Brussels, Belgium), INRA (Paris, France), United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia), and the World Trade Organization (Geneva, Switzerland).
Data Visualization
NOTE: This page is best viewed in Internet Explorer. In case of an error message, try reloading the page to see data visualization.
MIRAGE in brief
The MIRAGE model has been developed primarily to study trade policy scenario and has been intensively used to assess bilateral and multilateral agreements. As a global CGE, it provides a rich set of indicators for each region that allows measuring the impact of any policy changes. Such indicators include: changes in production, production factor uses, real wages, value added by sector, real GDP, real income, exports, imports, terms of trade.
It can be used under different set of assumptions to be easily adaptable to the issue at stake (perfect and imperfect competition, dynamic or static approach, imperfection on labour markets, alternative macroeconomic closures). As a global model, the GTAP 7 database is its main source of information and can cover 113 regions of the world and up to 57 sectors. However, it has been developed in parallel with the MAcMAp-HS6 database that allows a high detailed of trade policy scenario design. When the dynamic features are used, a realistic baseline is built based on United Nations Agencies demographic projection as well as IMF economic growth assumptions.
Detailed information on the model is available on the MIRAGE wiki.

NEWS RELEASE April 10, 2014 CONTACT: Amy Sprinkles, 972-237-8140 or email@example.com Grand Prairie Sales Tax Election for Mega Recreation Center and Water Park GRAND PRAIRIE – On May 10, 2014, Grand Prairie voters will be asked to vote for or against using a ¼ cent retiring sales tax to build and operate a mega recreation center and indoor/outdoor water park. In 2015, the city will pay off the debt to build QuikTrip Park and The Summit. This means that the 1/8 cent tax for each of these venues can go away or be continued for another project for voter approval.
The proposed recreation center would be built in Grand Prairie's Central Park at State Highway 161 between Arkansas Lane and Warrior Trail. In addition to the recreation center and water park, the project could include a library, all-accessible playground, amphitheater and trails. The new recreation center would be available for all ages and is proposed to include racquetball courts, basketball courts, multipurpose courts for volleyball and pickle ball, an indoor playground, indoor running/walking track, classrooms, a computer lab, exercise rooms, workout equipment, stage with flexible seating and a café.
The indoor/outdoor water park could include slides, chutes, a lazy river, surf rider, hot jets, swim lanes, zero edge entry, spray fountains and a children's play pool.
If the referendum passes, the Grand Prairie sales tax will remain the same. If the referendum is not approved, the city would retire the 1/8 cent sales tax for QuikTrip Park and 1/8 cent sales tax for The Summit. The city would not build the recreation center and water park, and the city's sales tax portion would be reduced from 2 percent to 1¾ percent. The combined ¼ cent sales tax could then be devoted to another municipal use if approved by voters.
If approved, design would begin in the summer of 2014 , and opening would be scheduled for mid-to-late 2017.
"This proposed project is part of our Parks Master Plan, which was created based on input from citizens," Grand Prairie Mayor Ron Jensen said. "The mega recreation center and water park will be a state-of-the-art facility like no other community has ever seen. In addition to the recreation amenities offered, we want this to be a place where teens come to have fun and learn, child and day camps will happen and the community gathers to enjoy the arts, get fit and have fun year-round."
Early voting is April 28-May 6 and election day is Saturday, May 10, 7 a.m.-7 p.m. For information about voting, visit www.gptx.org/election or contact Cathy DiMaggio, City Secretary, at 972-237-8035 or firstname.lastname@example.com. For information about the Central Park project, contact Rick Herold, Grand Prairie Parks, Arts and Recreation Department Director, at 972-237-8375 or email@example.com.

|Easton Mako M5 Ice Hockey Pants Jr
Was: $79.99
Lowest Price Guarantee
The Easton Mako M5 Ice Pant is a small step down from the premier Mako pant, so excellent protection and mobility should be expected. Easton designed this pant to give the player the most free range of motion without sacrificing protection.
Easton continued their pursuit of maximizing mobility with the use of the split shell pant design. This design allows for the inner liner and the outer shell to move independently of one another preventing any binding or bunching of the pant as you stride. The outer stretch gusset that wraps around the entire pant conjoins 840D and 420D nylons that were placed in strategic high abrasion areas.
The Mako M5 pant not only provides great mobility but protection as well. The advantage this contoured pant has over traditional pants is that the design keeps the protection in place at all times. The kidney's and tailbone are protected by large molded plastic inserts that are covered in perforated medium-density foams. For spinal protection, the segmented forward-flexing panel is made of a thick medium density foam.

Click to hear the interview.
March 15, 2011 -- By now, all federal IT managers know IPv4 addresses ran out in February. Federal mandates require by the end of fiscal year 2012, external sites must be IPv6 compliant and by the end of fiscal year 2014, internal client applications must be IPv6 compliant.
Some industry pundits think this is an overly aggressive approach. From the perspective of someone in the trenches, how can you make the transition? Right now, many are using spreadsheets to handle the move to a 128-bit addressing scheme. This may be fine for now, but what do you do when managing the spreadsheet is a full time job?
Josh Stephens, vice president of technology for Solarwinds, discusses the Orion IP Address Manager (Orion IPAM). The tool gives IT managers visibility into tracking IP address space usage as well as historical address tracking.
Each host or computer on the Internet requires an Internet Protocol address in order to communicate. The growth of the Internet has created a need for more addresses than are possible with the current system, IPv4. Federal News Radio follows the government's implementation of IPv6.

Regan Notches Pair of Goals; Six Seniors Play Final Regular Season Home Game as Women's Soccer Rolls Coker 8-0
October 19, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University forward Sheena Regan (Chesapeake, VA) notched a pair of unassisted goals as the Lady Falcons rolled Coker College 8-0 in Conference Carolinas womens soccer action on Tuesday afternoon. The sixth victory in seven matches moves the Lady Falcons to 9-5 overall, 6-2 in league play, while the Lady Cobras drop to 1-11-2, 1-6-1.
Scoring started just 14 minutes in as Megan Reaves (Mims, FL) put home her third of the season on a 25-yard shot after a short pass from Mariah Martinez (League City, TX). Martinez then turned around tallying her third of the year just four minutes later on assists from Jessica Moulton (Huntingtown, MD) and Alyssa Wombwell (Grand Blanc, MI).
The assist-to-goal trend continued as Moulton notched her third of the season, after assisting on Martinezs goal, as the freshman midfielder returned the favor helping out on Moultons strike. The first half concluded with Erin Menzel (Wilson, NC) assisting on Tish Patinos (East Bend, NC) first collegiate goal before Regan hit unassisted in the 38th minute.
Regan gobbled up a loose ball in the 64th minute of play to put home her second of the day, fifth overall in front of Kaylie Lawings (Weston, FL) rocket from about 35 yards out that deflected off of Coker keeper Carrie Hudnells (Goose Creek, SC) hands and into the cage. Scoring concluded with Moulton chipping a pass over to Devon Klyce (Cape Coral, FL) who put home her third of the year in the final minutes of play.
For the Lady Cobras, Sarah Kinsey (Windermere, FL), Rachel Solomon (Bluffton, SC) and Kerrie Cribb (Manning, SC) each had a shot on goal, all turned away by Pfeiffers Amanda Wemple (Hayden Lake, ID) who earned the shutout in net. The Lady Falcons saw six seniors play in their final regular season home game on Tuesday, in hopes of hosting upcoming Conference Carolinas tournament games.
Pfeiffer will get back to action on Saturday traveling to Barton for a 1:00 p.m. matchup with the Lady Bulldogs.

Customer Raves & Reviews
All I can say is..
I LOVE IT! I have ordered most of my stationery from them for our wedding/reception and have always loved it!
High quality and excellent service
We are very happy with our In Bloom invitations. Ordering the sample card was extremely helpful because it allowed us to see exactly what our guests would receive. We rearranged some of the text, and the invitation looked even better. We received high quality materials and excellent service from Magnet Street.
perfect as always
Easy to customize. Found exactly what I wanted and was able to make thechanges I wanted to make it mine. Have been using.this site for years and will continue to do so. Love everything about magnet street
Amazing customer service
I ordered my invitations online which was simple and fast. I had mistakenly chosen cream as one of the backgrounds instead of white which all of the rest of them had. I received a phone call from Magnet Street letting me know they had done a test print and noticed the anomaly and wanted to make sure I didn't mean for the background to be white. Fortunately they were able to make the change on the fly and when I received my invitations, they were all perfect! I was grateful that they cared enough to make the phone call and check to make sure before they printed them all. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to have invitations or cards printed for any occasion!
All I wished for and more
My daughter and I designed these for her confirmation. She picked the colors and the font and I did the rest. We loves that there was a lot of product that matched and The you could customize those to match the invitations Comes in a cute box and it was fast shipping. We would defiantly order from Magnet Street again

KALAMAZOO, Mich. - Freshman goaltender Ryan McKay stopped all 29 shots he faced and the No. 3 Miami hockey team controlled play from start to finish en route to a 4-0 shutout of No. 6 Western Michigan Saturday night at Lawson Ice Arena. The RedHawks (18-7-5, 13-5-4-4 CCHA) avenged Friday's 2-0 loss to the Broncos (18-7-5, 14-5-3-1 CCHA) while snapping WMU's six-game unbeaten streak in the process.
With the win, Miami also regained the top spot in the CCHA, moving one point ahead of Western Michigan. The Broncos, who suffered their first home CCHA loss of the year Saturday and just their second home loss of the season overall, fall back to second place after jumping the RedHawks with Friday's win.
The shutout was McKay's third of the season (and of his career) while it was Miami's fifth of the season as a team. Freshman forward Riley Barber and senior forward Curtis McKenzie both recorded two points on a goal and an assist each, with Barber's goal the game-winner.
After not finding the back of the net all night Friday, Miami came out firing on all cylinders Saturday, creating several good scoring chances in front of the net. WMU netminder Frank Slubowski made several big saves early to keep the RedHawks off the board, but Barber gave Miami a 1-0 lead with 7:17 remaining in the opening period. Freshman defenseman Taylor Richart fired a blast from the blueline that was deflected by Barber past Slubowski for his team-leading 12th goal of the year. Senior defenseman Garrett Kennedy earned the second assist.
Miami doubled its lead just 2:39 into the second period on the power play. Barber sent in a shot from the point and McKenzie was camped in front of Slubowski where he redirected the puck into the net five-hole for his eighth goal of the year. Freshman defenseman Matthew Caito collected the other helper.
The RedHawks scored for the second time in the second stanza on just their third shot of the period when junior forward Max Cook found the net with 8:47 remaining in the period. Sophomore forward Blake Coleman scooped the puck out of the corner to classmate Jimmy Mullin behind the net, where he back-handed a pass to Cook alone in front of the net. Cook deked Slubowski and deposited the puck in the empty net for his second goal of the year (and in as many weekends) and a 3-0 Miami lead.
Immediately following Cook's goal he was called for a cross check while another Miami penalty seconds later gave the Broncos an extended 5-on-3 power play. The RedHawks buckled down, however, and killed both penalties to prevent WMU from cutting into the lead and took their three-goal lead into the second intermission despite being outshot, 11-8, over the middle 20 minutes.
The third period did not see much offense for most of the stanza, until a pair of penalties seconds apart led to 4-on-4 hockey. With 5:28 remaining in the contest, redshirt senior Marc Hagel concluded the scoring as he took a pass from senior defenseman Joe Hartman and muscled the puck inside the right post past Lukas Hafner, who replaced Slubowski for the third period, from behind the goal for his third tally of the season.
Miami finished with 27 shots in the contest, 13 of which came in the first period, as the RedHawks were outshot by two for the game. Slubowski totaled 18 saves in 40 minutes of work while Hafner stopped five in the final frame. Miami finished 1-for-5 on the power play while going a perfect 5-for-5 on the penalty kill.
Miami returns home to host No. 11/12 Notre Dame on Friday at Steve Cady Arena. Puck drop is set for 7:35 p.m. while the game will be televised nationally on CBS Sports Network. Both teams then travel to Chicago for the OfficeMax Hockey City Classic on Sunday, Feb. 17 when the two sides will complete the weekend series with an outdoor game at Soldier Field. The OfficeMax Hockey City Classic begins at 1 p.m. ET/noon CT and will be televised on Fox Sports Detroit, Fox Sports Ohio and several other Fox Sports affiliates.

There's no getting around it. As a nation we've never paid more at the pump than we did this year. The yearly national average is running at $3.63/gallon so far for 2012, and it's all but guaranteed that 2012 will go down as the year with the highest average ever.With one month left, yes, it's mathematically possible that 2012 could close without becoming the most expensive year ever for American consumers at the gas pumps; but that would necessitate an unthinkable calamity."We did the math," says Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy, "and the numbers don't lie. Last year's average price of gasoline nationwide was $3.51 per gallon. The national average price of gasoline in the U.S. would have to drop...

The Springbok Sevens were beaten 19-10 in their final pool game by New Zealand on day two at the Hong Kong Sevens.
Defending World Series champions New Zealand eased to victory after dominating in the first half. They scored three tries via Waisake Naholo, Charles Piutau and Jack Wilson, while they kept South Africa, who committed too many errors, scoreless before the break.
Paul Treu's men performed better in the second half, but they didn't do enough to overcome the 19-point deficit. Speedster Cornal Hendricks did well out wide to open the scoring before New Zealand received a yellow card because of a Piutau spear tackle. But the Blitzboks couldn't capitalise on their one-man advantage. They could only grab a consolation try in the final movement of the match when Chris Dry sneaked in at the corner.
South Africa will now face Samoa in the Cup quarter-finals.
Earlier on day two, the Springboks downed USA 15-7.
South Africa started the match well in the first half as William Small-Smith and Stephan Dippenaar dotted down to give their team a 10-0 lead at the break. The Americans hit back with a converted try via skipper Shalom Suniula to cut the deficit to three points, but Cecil Afrika sealed the win with a late score.
In the Blitzboks' only day one fixture, they picked up a 10-0 scrappy win over Wales.
Wales wasted an early opportunity to score and the Blitzboks made them pay, Afrika crafting a try for Boom Prinsloo just before half-time. Afrika then crossed the whitewash just after the restart following some intelligent build-up play. The Blitzboks failed to find any synergy thereafter, but their defence ensured Wales never got close to a comeback.

America Needs a Growth Dividend
Stronger Economic Growth Can Reduce the Budget Deficit
Obama Recovery Significantly Worse than Average
In the more than three years since the recession ended in June 2009, real gross domestic product (GDP) has only increased by a total of 7.2%.
The average increase in real GDP for the other nine post World War II recessions that lasted longer than a year over a comparable 13 quarters is 16.8%. In the strong Reagan recovery of the 1980s, real GDP increased by a total of 19.6%!
The anemic economic growth of the Obama recovery has cost the U.S. economy $1.2 trillion (2005$) compared to the average of other recoveries and $1.6 compared to the strong recovery of the 1980s.
Lack of Growth = Lack of Job Creation
Growth in private sector payrolls since the low point in February 2010 (the Obama metric) has totaled roughly 5 million or 4.8%. Using the same metric, private sector payrolls grew an average 8.5% in the other recoveries and the in the Reagan recovery private sector payrolls grew by 11.3%.
President Obama's anemic recovery has a shortfall of 3.8 million private payroll jobs compared to the average of other recoveries and an astonishing 6.9 million below the pace of the Reagan recovery.
Lack of Growth = Bigger Deficits
This lack of economic growth and private sector job creation has adversely affected our nation's fiscal position. The U.S. government just ran its 4th consecutive budget deficit of more than $1 trillion. The President's pledge to cut the deficit in half is a distant memory as he clamors for higher taxes and imposes new regulatory burdens like ObamaCare on private sector job creators.
Ironically, the President could have honored his pledge to the American people if he had focused on growing incomes and wealth instead of focusing on how to re?divide the pie.
Prior to the start of the recession, fiscal year 2007 revenues rose to 18.2% of 3rd?quarter GDP. Federal government receipts stood at roughly $2.6 trillion in fiscal year 2007, the highest on record and 25% greater than in fiscal year 2000. In the fiscal year just ended, the U.S. government collected $2.4 trillion in revenues or 15.5% of 3rdquarter GDP.
If the economy had grown by 16.8% like it averaged in the other recoveries and revenues had returned to the 18.2% of 3rd?quarter GDP that they were in fiscal year 2007, the U.S. government would have collected an additional $653 billion in revenue. That would have cut last year's deficit by more than half. And that's before you even begin to take into account the lower spending that would result from fewer Americans needing public assistance. A Reagan?style recovery would have generated even more revenue. At 18.2% of 3rd quarter GDP, revenues would have been $722 billion higher and the deficit chopped by two?thirds. And that's without raising anyone's taxes. By focusing on pro?growth policies and generating even an average recovery, the President could have kept his promise to cut the deficit in half.
