The study of acetazolamide for idiopathic intracranial hypertension described on page 9 of the Spring issue of BrainWaves raises an important question about a neglected aspect of clinical trials: How do investigators obtain funding to study the efficacy of a drug that has no commercial potential?
Only 300 of the approximately 7,000 known human diseases are of interest to the biopharmaceutical industry from the standpoint of prevalence or commercial potential, according to the Office of Rare Diseases Research (ORDR) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Orphan Drug Act of 1983 sought to use patent protection and tax incentives to promote development of drugs for diseases with a small market. In this context, the word "orphan" refers to a condition or drug that has not been "adopted" by the pharmaceutical industry because of limited commercial potential and a rare disease is one that affects 200,000 or fewer Americans. In the twenty years following enactment of the ODA, 249 orphan drugs received marketing authoriza¬tion, compared to 10 in the preceding decade, with the most notable being Amgen's erythropoietin.
Commercial potential alone does not determine value
Low prevalence does not equate to limited commercial potential, of course, because pricing must also be considered.

I agree-fantastic offseason and this is why I will never buy the argument "We had to resign Gordon because nobody else wants to come here, we couldn't have used that money, etc etc."
We got Lopez and Anderson for the same money we pay Gordon. Take Gordon's contract off the books and split it up between two other young vets and this team is looking great.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I love the early stats, but I still maintain that the regular season doesnt matter in the grand scheme of things and that the cream rises in the playoffs and guys are exposed. Based on that, I expect Davis and Anderson to stay at a similar level when we get to that position, while Lopez will take a step back but still be a better than average 3rd or 4th big who can really help in specific matchups.
Love this offseason, save for one part of it.

Environmentally related water trading, transfers and environmental flows: welfare, water demand and flowsHan, Man Seung (Texas A&M University, May 2008)[more][less]
Abstract: This dissertation reports on economic studies of Texas Interbasin Water Transfers (IBT) as a way to lessen expected water shortages, Texas minimum freshwater inflows requirements (FWIB) to protect environmental flows and the general policy setup when generators of environmental commodities might be able to sell credits in multiple markets. The Texas-based studies address economic, hydrological and environmental impacts, focusing on welfare gain, water demand, environmental flows and complementary relationship of environmental commodities. Conduct of the two Texas studies required development of a Texas surface water model. The developed model incorporates: (a) uncertain weather patterns and supply of water; (b) river flows in most of the Texas river basins - twenty-one basins excluding only the Rio Grande; (c) demand for water by agricultural, municipal and industrial/ mining water; (d) IBT possibilities; (e) evaporation losses; and (e) return flows across the modeled basins. In studying the interbasin water transfers, three IBT projects where chosen as economically justified relocating water largely for municipal and industrial/mining uses. These IBT projects had the effect of increasing water use and instream flows in the IBT destination basins, but decreasing those in the source basins. In studying the freshwater inflows the study revealed that the suggested inflow constraints were met on average and that the inflow levels for two basins had to be lowered for the constraints to be feasible. This suggests that the contemplated limits are too high and that either multiple basin or flow dependent limits need to be developed. The results also showed that under the average FWIB constraints and IBT implementation, welfare loss from the FWIB constraints was greatly reduced due to the IBT projects which were simultaneously implemented. In the study of multiple environmental commodity markets, the results indicate that generated credits should be sold in multiple markets only when market caps are set up close to socially efficient (so called first-best) caps: this implies that marginal benefit curves are very steep. However, restricting selling into just single market achieved the same net benefits as multiple markets did when market caps were set up at levels less than the first-best caps.

Krishnamurthy, Ganesh (Texas A&M University, May 1)[more][less]
Abstract: This research focused on expanding the capabilities of the Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP) for incorporating salinity considerations in assessments of water availability. A simulation modeling approach was used to address this issue and a generalized simulation model called WRAP-SALT was developed. The Brazos River Basin served as a case study to test the simulation approach adopted by the model. The simulation model adopts a generalized modeling approach applicable to any river basin system. The model tracks salinity throughout a river basin system over different periods of time for alternative scenarios of water use, reservoir system operating policies, and salt control mechanisms. The model was applied to the Brazos River Basin considering different management scenarios and the results obtained were analyzed. Reservoir reliabilities were assessed under user imposed salinity constraints. It was observed that the water supply reliabilities decreased significantly if salinity constraints were considered. Salt control dams proposed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were also incorporated in the simulation of the river basin. It was observed that salinity in the main stem of the Brazos River was significantly reduced. However, no significant improvement was observed in water supply reliabilities.

Sukheswalla, Zubin Rohinton (Texas A&M University, December 2003)[more][less]
Abstract: Prediction of flow is necessary for planning and management of water resources. The objective of this study is to estimate mean annual flows for the USA and mean monthly flows for the rivers of central Texas based on the precipitation and their watershed characteristics. Flow varies largely with topographic and climatic parameters and hence generalization of runoff models is difficult. This model aims at providing a prediction at ungaged locations with very few parameters that are easily available and measurable. Scatter in predicted data will be seen at the annual and monthly time scale in the range selected for each data. This model will work on annual and monthly means to reduce the scatter and produce better estimates.

Development of an ArcGIS interface and design of a geodatabase for the soil and water assessment toolValenzuela Zapata, Milver Alfredo (Texas A&M University, December 2003)[more][less]
Abstract: This project presents the development and design of a comprehensive interface coupled with a geodatabase (ArcGISwat 2003), for the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). SWAT is a hydrologically distributed, lumped parameter model that runs on a continuous time step. The quantity and extensive detail of the spatial and hydrologic data, involved in the input and output, both make SWAT highly complex. A new interface, that will manage the input/output (I/O) process, is being developed using the Geodatabase object model and concepts from hydrological data models such as ArcHydro. It also incorporates uncertainty analysis on the process of modeling. This interface aims to further direct communication and integration with other hydrologic models, consequently increasing efficiency and diminishing modeling time. A case study is presented in order to demonstrate a common watershed-modeling task, which utilizes SWAT and ArcGIS-SWAT2003.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, inflation in the U.S. economy was 1.7% in 2012. As I have written in these pages, the way the official inflation rate is calculated is obsolete. Real inflation is running much higher than 1.7%.Oil Price Information Service reports that, in 2012, $479 billion in gasoline was purchased by consumers in the U.S. economy. If you compare this number to 10 years ago, Americans are spending two and a half times more on gasoline. (Source: CNN Money, February 4, 2013) than they did in 2002. But consumer spending on gasoline didn't go up because of increased demand; it went up because oil prices went up.According to the Energy Department, Americans are now spending four percent of their income to buy gasoline, but they are actually buying lower

Fits Perfectly
Works perfectly in the pocket invitation. I used it for the hotel information, but did not write anything on the back, in fear guests may nto turn it over. Only other thing that I wish I may have done was include an extra enclosure card for driving directions.
I used Magnet Street for my save-the-date magnets and wedding invitations. Personalizing my products was an easy process, as step-by-step directions were provided. I loved the various options for colors, texts, and images. I spoke with staff on a couple of occasions, and each time they were helpful and happy to be of assistance! I really like that you can add "notes" to the drafts and staff can make changes according to customers' requests. I will recommend Magnet Street to future brides!
Well Done
These looked just like I thought they would. They're simple but contained all the information I need, and go with the rest of the invitation.
Awesome Idea
I loved the option of having the enclosure card. I live in Utah but my wedding will be in my home town in PA. So to be able to have a nice card with important information included in with the invitation is great. I put the reception information on the front of the card and then the guest information on the back (hotel, website, etc). When I first ordered these, I made a spelling error and had to call the company when I got them in the mail. They were so great to work with!! They helped me fix my mistakes and took 75% off the printing price!! I was so happy and calmed down after making my mistake. They were so awesome to work with!
Beautiful Enclosure Card
We couldn't be more happy with them. We were able to put all of our information on the front of the enclosure cards and carry over the design to the back of the card. They really brought the invitations together.

Profile in Success: CAR POOL DETAIL
Spend an hour talking to Gina Budhai, managing partner of Car Pool Detail, and it's not hard to see why her customers are willing to drive over hundreds of miles and across state lines to visit her detail shop in Richmond, VA. The success of Car Pool Detail is built on the thousands of stories Budhai has collected while operating her detail shop.
Each story represents the relationship between herself and her clients. Over the years she has discovered more than just coins and French fries stuck between the seats. Thanks to the time she devotes to learning about her customers, she has found long-lost neighbors of her own, helped two customers realize they were in fact brothers, reunited a father and son, and much more.
Making the connection
Much of Budhai's success is owed to her father, Garret, who shares the same warmth and generosity of spirit. If Gina has a story for you, her father has one to match. Her integrity and sincerity all stem from this part of her family tree, and it was in fact Garret who drew her to the detail industry after he spent years supporting the family in that way.
While Budhai's shop is efficient and it shows that she is a dedicated taskmaster, she also makes sure to take time to speak with her customers and develop a relationship with each and every one. Like her father before her, she enjoys educating her clientele about the detail process and will spend a great deal of time explaining a particular service, even if it is only to show the customer that it is not necessary for their vehicle.
Budhai feels that this is indeed the primary aspect of her job; to give knowledge to her customers and make them better, more knowledgeable consumers, whether they choose to have their vehicle detailed at her shop or elsewhere.
But these conversations have another purpose. As she explains the detail process, Budhai also takes time to learn about her customer: Who is he? Where is he from? How did he come to be at this point in his life? Aside from building a business relationship, it helps to understand the type of customer she is dealing with, Budhai explained, and will later serve to help her sell him the detail services he needs to be happy.
Although Budhai, PC&D's 2006 Detailer of the Year, has a thousand stories that illustrate her philosophy of education and connection to the customer, there is one that perhaps best shows her father's influence.
One day, a sharp dressed young man came to Budhai's shop with a luxury vehicle. He asked her for a few services and was very exact in his manner and tone. Budhai wondered if he really knew what he was purchasing, and she asked him as much.
"He then went on to tell me — in such detail and in very specific terms — about the services he wanted. I couldn't believe it," Budhai recalled. "I thought it was a little odd, and asked him what he did for a living."
The man was a doctor, and although he seemed polished and intelligent, Budhai thought he was really too much at leisure to know this much about detailing services. She asked a few more questions, wondering if maybe he supported himself through school or college as a fly-by-night operator.
No, he was in fact from northern Virginia and had only recently graduated. He had no connection to the detail industry.
But Budhai thought she found her clue — she asked him about his upbringing in northern Virginia, where Budhai herself hails from. Still, the conversation wasn't leading anywhere, and so Budhai asked him point blank how he came to know so much about detail services.
He described a visit to a shop when he was still in college, and before he owned a luxury car, when a detailer once explained the science behind detailing and told him how to shop for services. Budhai nearly started to roll her eyes right then — she should have known. The detailer was, of course, her father.
Taking the time
Any other detailer might think the time spent on these conversations and relationships was wasted. After all, in the detail business every minute, every hour, every day counts. If you're not polishing, waxing, wiping, or vacuuming, you probably aren't making money.
But Budhai said her father taught her the greater value of networking with her customers, some of whom come from as far away as Florida or Maryland to get to her shop. And you can see that he is right by taking a glance around the walls of her lobby, which are lined with awards and certificates of appreciation.
"It's really important to me that I know who I am working for and that I give them the services they need," Budhai explained. "I really can't do that unless I know who they are."
Budhai also sees the value in building relationships that might be favorable to her business. She has met many businessmen and women who have in turn had something to offer her, whether it is simply advice on marketing opportunities or something more concrete, like a cross-promotional opportunity.
"You really never know who might walk in your door," Budhai said. "I have customers from all walks of life and they are each very important to my success."
A myriad of customers
Budhai isn't kidding when she says her customers come from all walks of life. On a sunny Thursday, her shop was filled with a healthy mix of luxury cars and minivans, some needing only a wash and wax, while others were in the process of extensive detailing for fire and smoke damage.
For her part, she gets enjoyment out of all that her business can offer. The "menu" for Car Pool Detail is really a comprehensive checklist of possible services, none of them packaged because like her clients, Budhai feels her offerings are too important and singular to be grouped together.
She has made a name for herself for being thorough and precise. Car Pool Detail remains amongst the highest price range in her market and she has all intentions of staying there.
"I really don't see the point in competing on price," Budhai said. "If you want to go somewhere else and pay less for a service, go ahead. I always tell a potential customer that, and I'll even let him know where he can go to get that price."
"But I know that if they really want that service done — if they really need that particular service — they'll be back. The price I am asking is for the price of doing the job. I really don't think you can get any of these services for less and expect a quality job."
After all, detailing is about results. Although a carwash might be able to get away with offering convenience or an exceptional price, detailers must perform at a certain level in order to make a profit. That is why Budhai, a founding member of the National Association of Professional Detailing and Reconditioning, spends so much time and money to educate herself and her employees, as well as to work to improve the detail industry.
"I really want to see [the detail industry] get to that point where it is very professional and respected and the detailer is able to charge the right price for the right service," Budhai said. "I think that is where we are headed and where we need to go."

Initial Review, 45,000 Miles on Tires
I bought these three years ago along with a new set of rims. Shipping from Tirerack was great, and I loved that they came inflated, on the rims. I just slapped them on the car. They handled well, I always felt like they performed great. They are now producing a wumpwumpwump sound at medium speeds, so I'm thinking about replacing them. They still have 3/32" tread, which might not be enough for a Minnesota winter (depending on which kind we get this coming year). I wish I had gotten 60000 miles like some people did. Our driving is probably 1/3 city and 2/3 highway, as 2 of the 3 years we lived out away from heavy traffic. I was initially concerned a little that these were specific tires for Camaros, but when I bought them they had such an awesome price that I couldn't pass them up. Now the price is double what I paid for the first set. Of course I wish I could get the same price again, but I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon. They also look really nice with the rims I got with them. But any other tire is going to have to be a lot cheaper, or have just awesome ratings in order for me to switch to another model. I will say that because these are wider than stock, I was a bit nervous when I was pulling a pop-up camper and the tires were so close to the fender. That duty is now delegated to our pickup truck so that's no longer a concern. Buying both rims and tires from TireRack is so convenient, I wish I could afford to do that every time.

A BLAZE of colour filled the heavens above Kendal Castle as scores of unusually-shaped kites were flown during a two-day festival.
Hundreds of people turned out to see the skies above the central town landmark transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour.
The free event saw kites of all descriptions performing aerial acrobatics. There was a 16ft hippopotamus, flying dogs, super-sized fish and many more, all organised by SmileFactor10 and Kendal United Junior Football Club.
Event organiser Craig Harby, who attends kite festivals regularly, said he wanted to bring the joys of the event to his home town.
"I do it for smiles. If you get someone looking at your kite and smiling then that's why you do it really," said Mr Harby. "It's one of those things you either enjoy or not. It's a peaceful thing flying a kite."
Emma Whitanney, of Windermere, who was at the event with her eight-year-old son, Isaac, said: "It's fab for the area to have something like this. It's a really fun family day out."
There was also a Kendal United two-day car boot sale where a selection of kites, air toys, novelties and balloons were available to buy and fly.
Other activities included a bouncy castle, face painting, children's play area and a BMX track.
Proceeds from the kite extravaganza will go towards Kendal's Junior Football Club.
Anyone with photographs from the day should send them to email@example.com for a chance of winning a seven-foot delta flow tail kite.
A SNOW leopard which featured in a movie starring Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman is the latest addition to a South Lakeland zoo.
Young male Pavan, one of two leopards who played the part of Stelamaria in The Golden Compass, will be housed in a walk-through enclosure at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis at Hale, near Milnthorpe.
Staff have created a homely feel for their new feline friend with the enclosure designed to look like a Himalayan village with plenty of rocks for him to climb and snooze on.
An acrylic tunnel running through the enclosure will allow visitors to see Pavan in his own habitat in what is thought to be the UK's first walk-through big cat exhibit.
Assistant manager of Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, Caroline Howard, said: "We're really excited about Pavan's arrival - he's a real celebrity cat! His new home is amazing. You can walk right through his territory while he ranges around you - even above your head!"
Pavan has arrived from UK charity the Cat Survival Trust which helps conserve endangered cats.
Once he has settled in his new environment, zoo staff hope to form a breeding pair by adding a female snow leopard to Pavan's enclosure.It is not known how many snow leopards are left in the wild but they are now classed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is joining the captive breeding programme which is run by the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

Jackson boys bury Arlington early in big win
Big first half enough to counter Eagles' second-half surge
The Eagles have the talent to get away with it on most nights, which is why they brought a 13-1 record and the best 4A Wesco North mark into Friday night's boys basketball game with South division power Jackson.
The Eagles put together 16 very good minutes in the second half against the unbeaten Timberwolves. However, it was the first 16 minutes that buried Arlington's and sealed its fate in a 64-50 loss.
Dan Kingma, Jason Todd and Brian Zehr combined to score 17 of Jackson's 19 first-quarter points and helped the Timberwolves to a commanding 19-6 lead going into the second quarter.
Jackson's defense gave the Eagles and their star forward Terry Dawn fits throughout the first half as the Timberwolves built a 33-15 lead at the break. Dawn scored four points in the half and shot just 2-for-10 from the field. In total, the Eagles shot a dismal 7-for-25 in the game's first 16 minutes.
"We got tremendous effort, in particular from Connor Willgress," Jackson coach Steve Johnson said. "We just said he's got to work for everything he can get. We are able to do some switching because we have several guys that are 6-4 or 6-5 that can move and are reasonably athletic and can keep up with him and be tall enough and long enough to challenge his shot.
"Mostly it was a great effort by Connor, but we also gave him a lot of help and made (Dawn) work for everything he got."
The Eagles certainly weren't helped by the fact that this was the second game of a back-to-back for them -- they beat Edmonds-Woodway 64-47 on Thursday night -- and the Timberwolves didn't hesitate to take advantage early.
"We came out and played the Jackson jersey," Brown said. "You know, they're good. There is no question. I think as a coach I probably messed up a little bit. I talked to them about, 'hey, are you as good as these guys,' to kind of motivate them. And I don't know if that worked. I think we kind of got a little of deer in the headlights a little bit. I'll take responsibility for that. I didn't make sure that we were ready to play."
If the Eagles weren't ready to play in the first half, Brown fixed the problem at halftime. The Eagles responded to their poor first half by opening the second half on a 7-0 run. Terry Dawn came alive in the third quarter scoring eight of his 14 points on the night and the Eagles slowly chipped away at the Jackson lead.
"To his credit, I knew we weren't going to hold him to nothing," Johnson said of Dawn. "I knew he was going to get shots and he's going to score, but to hear that we held him to five or six below his average, you can't ask for more than that."
Even though the Eagles team that showed up in the second half was much different than the team that showed up at the beginning of the game, they still struggled to get Jackson's lead below 10 points. Dawn shot 4-for-7 in the second half and the Eagles shot 11-for-19 as a team, but the closest Arlington ever got was within eight.
Arlington had got to within nine late in the third quarter, but the Timberwolves defense got a stop and Todd came knocked down a three-pointer with 33 seconds left in the quarter to extend the lead back to 12, which is where it stood entering the final quarter.
The Eagles fought back again in the fourth to cut the lead to eight with 2:10 remaining in the game, but a Kingma came through with another three late in the shock clock to extend the lead back to 11 and all but end the Eagles' hopes of a comeback.
"Those were big," Johnson said of the shots by Todd and Kingma. "It was down to nine and down to eight and those were both, I don't want to say rally-killers, but kind of tilted things back in our favor."
Todd led the way for Jackson, finishing with 24 points, 13 rebounds and four assists. Kingma added 18 points, including four 3s and Zehr scored 15. Todd also helped the Timberwolves put the game away by shooting 8-for-8 from the free-throw line including four late in the fourth quarter.
The Eagles have made comeback victories in other games this season, including an 18-point turnaround over Lake Stevens, but Brown said you can't expect to do that against a team like Jackson.
"You can't do that to a good team like them," he said. "You can't spot them 18 points, they are too good and they proved it tonight."

Lifetime has decided to cancel Drop Dead Diva after four seasons on the air.
Debuting in July 2009, Drop Dead Diva begins as a vapid aspiring model named Deb is killed in a car accident. Unhappy with her prospects in heaven, she finds herself sent back to Earth and ends up in the body of a recently deceased lawyer, Jane (Brooke Elliott). Deb must now deal with being in the body of her complete opposite –someone who's brilliant, hard-working, charitable, and overweight.
Others in the cast have included Margaret Cho, April Bowlby, Kate Levering, Jackson Hurst, Josh Stamberg, Ben Feldman, Lex Medlin, and Carter MacIntyre.
The fourth season finished airing on September 9th and averaged 2.3 million viewers with a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That was slighly better than the performance of the third season — 2.26 million with a 0.7 in the demo. The cable channel reportedly tried to get a boost in the ratings this season by adding Kim Kardashian in a recurring role but that move obvioulsy didn't have much of an impact.
Lifetime was supposedly holding off on making a decision on Diva's future until they saw some of their current pilots. One can assume that, since they've cancelled Drop Dead Diva, they liked what they saw.
Word is that Sony Pictures TV may try to find another home for the series. Josh Berman created the show and FOX recently cancelled his other program, The Mob Doctor.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Drop Dead Diva has been cancelled? Would you watch it on another station?

Hello, I'm Alexandra Duncan and welcome to my website. I am building this site for a number of reasons. Before I share them with you, I'd like to thank all those whose support made the path I have chosen possible, in particular my mom and dad, without whose support, none of this would have been possible.
Now why I wanted to do this....
My future plans are 2015 World Cup vegas and 2015 Pan Am games and 2016 Olympics Rio.
Second, to give back to a sport that I love by primarily assisting Young Riders in fully understanding the level of dedication commitment and discipline that it takes to become a top level competitive international Dressage Rider.
As you are
browsing the site remember that while it is mostly about what I have
done and am doing, it is not only my site, but a site for all those who
have helped along the way. I thank them and I thank you for stopping by.
Thirdly, riding is all about developing an intuitive relationship with your horse so that you become a true combination in every sense of the word. It's about patience, caring, understanding and giving of yourself. If it is about taking, then the relationship dynamic with your horse will never develop, and success, satisfaction, and the love of the sport and all that it brings will be elusive at best.

Nearly nine years after his death, Sgt. Maj. Edgar Huff received the Congressional Gold Medal.
A long line stretched around the
Of those medals, 32 were given posthumously to surviving family members.
The Gold Medal is the highest honor awarded to civilians, requiring 67 co-sponsors to be considered on the Senate floor. It is awarded to individuals who perform outstanding deeds or acts of service to the security, prosperity, and national interest of the
At least 400 Montford Point Marines have been awarded the medal since the announcement last year.
"Despite being denied many basic rights, the Montford Point Marines committed to serve our country with selfless patriotism, choosing to put their lives on the line. These men helped advance civil rights, and helped influence the decision to desegregate the armed forces in 1948. Embodying the Marine Corps motto, these heroes paved the way for future generations of warriors, regardless of background, to serve in the finest military the world has ever known," Master Sgt. Tina Barrett narrated from a message from President Obama.
The medals were also awarded to Primus Kinlaw, Manny Maxwell, James McGee, Creo McIver Sr. and John Spencer. Immediately following was the posthumous awarding to the families of the deceased, including Huff.
"It's humbling to see the men who had to face adversity in the Marine Corps. The diversity wouldn't be there today. They saw a cause and they went for it," said Jerome Huff, his grandson.
Turner C. Blount was among those who received his award in June 2012 in
"It took a whole lot to get it," Blount said.
Blount served in the Marines for 25 years, doing tours in
"It brings back old military memories," Blount said after the ceremony.
Members of the Montford Point Marine Association donated the money for the medals.
"It is a great legacy, one that is not really well known," said member Mary Christian. "These men were very courageous to come to
Those who have received the award include such notables as former presidents George Washington, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford; the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King; Nelson Mandella; and Rosa Parks.
The Montford Point Marines were awarded the medal for their role in helping to desegregate the military and nation. Many of the Marines participated in the Pacific Theater Campaign of World War II. The Marine Corps was the last branch of the armed services to admit blacks.

Then things take a turn for the weird when Kyota begins having visions of magical girls battling one another in the air - only he's not dreaming! For centuries, five supernatural factions have waged war for supremacy over mankind with legend prophesizing that one day the Aquarian Age will begin and one group will reign supreme.
Now Kyota's dreams must take a backseat to his destiny as he may hold the power to turn the tides of war in favor of whichever faction can control him.

Ready to get out of the basement and into a real office? Before you strike out on your own and get locked into a lease, consider a coworking space. They're more affordable, full of start-up geeks like you, and probably cooler than any office your start-up could afford. Here are 17 spaces to check out.
Location: Boston
Cost: Monthly memberships start at $99, but you can also get space by the day or week.
Oficio is a boutique shared office and coworking space located in the center of the vibrant and historic Back Bay neighborhood in Boston. By day, Oficio hosts a diverse group of freelancers and entrepreneurs as a coworking space, and by night transforms into a multifunctional event space. It is footsteps away from the Boston Public Garden and Arlington T station. It opened only three months ago and already has 60 members.
Location: Austin
Cost: Monthly memberships start at $200, plus a one-time $200 membership fee.
Considering that Austin averages 300 sunny days a year, it makes sense that this coworking spot gives people who work there free run of its outdoor space—"rogue squirrels and birds that are fun to watch" are complimentary, says owner Liz Elam, who also rents it out for events. Inc. heard from several Link users who raved about coworking there, including event planner Claire Rodriguez who particularly likes the quirky additions Elam often makes to the décor just to keep things interesting. Oh, and the red step-in phone booth comes complete with a Superman cape.
Location: Minneapolis
Cost: Memberships start at $50 a month.
LiquidSpace CEO Mark Gilbreath calls CoCo "a dramatic one-of-a-kind workspace." He's got that right. CoCo is a 16,000-square-foot, sunlit space that makes use of the architecturally-interesting and historic trading floor once used by the Minneapolis Grain Exchange. Now instead of traders yelling bids and waving arms around, the place is serene—khaki or jeans-clad entrepreneurs work quietly at their laptops while Pandora plays softly in the background. There's a concierge who makes sure coffee and pastries are well-stocked and will order you lunch and introduce new members to others.
Location: San Diego
Cost: Memberships start at $69 for eight hours a month and go up to $369 for 80 hours.
This spa-like coworking space is different because it's only for women and includes feminine touches such as soft lighting, fountains, candles, relaxing music, inspirational quotes on the walls and chair massages every Tuesday afternoon. The women-only angle seems to be getting some traction; in only four months Hera Hub already has more than 100 female-owned businesses working from the space. Felena Hanson says she created Hera Hub because she believes that women interact differently than men and are instinctively more collaborative in their approach to business.
Location: Chandler, AZ
Cost: Free, but you have to work for it
Gangplank lets people use its coworking space and conference room for free. Instead of paying to work there, users pay with their time and help out with projects mostly handed down from the city government. Full-time members who use a permanent desk do more, such as writing blog posts, cleaning up after events and organizing the work space. Not a bad deal if you're really strapped for cash. And the idea is catching on: Phoenix and Tucson will soon be getting Gangplanks of their own.
Location: East Grand Rapids, MI
Cost: Rent space by the month ($150), week ($50), or day ($10).
This one is more cottage than office, complete with a fireplace, and that's what people who work there like about it. It also features a rotating gallery of work by local artists, and frequently sponsors artist receptions or visiting artist events that are open to the public. 654 Croswell is located in the heart of Gaslight Village in East Grand Rapids, a charming community that's home to a variety of small businesses including restaurants, bars, shops, and a popular ice cream parlor.
Location: Boston
Cost: A lot of different plans, but the basic rate for full-time space is $250 a month.
WorkBar is strategically located next to a major Boston transportation hub and combines the professionalism of a managed collaborative workplace with a raw start-up vibe that creates an atmosphere that members say is invigorating. "With so many different types of people and skills represented, there's a natural ecosystem where sharing knowledge and resources is encouraged and an organic camaraderie sparks, leading not only to business exchange, but to friendships that span beyond the office," says Evona Niewiadomska, director of marketing and operations for WorkBar.
Location: Chicago
Cost: From $20 a day to $300 a month, with flexible options in between.
This space is like a hip and airy downtown Chicago loft and it's located in the same block as the train and is in an area full of restaurants and stores. It has a "Chief of Happiness" who makes sure everyone has beverages and snacks and every Friday members wind down with Happy Hour. The Coop also hosts a bi-monthly "Lunch & Learn" session led by a Coop member and during warmer months they hold it on the building's 8th floor rooftop. "The founder of The Coop is a great guy who helps support the local artists by hanging artwork all over the space. It's a great place to get work done and mingle," says Tim Skaggs, founder of DeskHero, a commission-free service connecting empty desks with individuals and teams.
Location: Bloomington, IN
Cost: Memberships are available by the month ($300), week ($100) or day ($20).
Blueline is a creative design and media house that specializes in web, photography and video production. But owner Chelsea Sanders doesn't want to work alone and has opened her space to others, including programmers, copywriters, and artists. According to DeskHero, it has a unique boutique style and great lighting, excellent music and interesting people. Notable members include clothing company Dope Couture and fashion writer Jessica Quirk. Blueline also holds movie nights for members and hosts monthly art shows to support local artists.
Locations: San Francisco and Santa Monica
Cost: Free, but you have to work for it.
This coworking space is free to use—the only requirement is that members need to be active in its online exchanges for services, similar to how TaskRabbit works. In addition to providing a physical place to work, Coffee & Power posts "missions" that buyers and sellers can help each other with. Another thing adding to the cool factor here is the investor roster, which includes Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. A third location will soon be popping up in Portland, Oregon.
Location: San Francisco
Cost: Memberships range from $100 to $545 a month.
The mix of creative workspace, events, classes (over 175 in 2011), and advisors from places like Andreesen Horowitz, Blue Run Ventures and Twilio give pariSoma members a rewarding work experience. The space features a wrap-around mezzanine with permanent desks that look over the main area, and more flexible, open space. Other cool factors: A hanging casing of a 737 jet airplane, a vintage Bell Atlantic phone booth, and a couple of Google bikes for coworkers to use. The pariSoma facility is used by more than 120 members and 60 companies, most of which are tech start-ups. PariSoma is owned and operated by faberNovel, a consulting company that helps big companies think and act like small start-ups.
Location: Los Angeles
Cost: Membership is $200 a month.
This newly renovated shared office space is in the heart of downtown LA near Pershing Square Park with parking and a Metro station across the street. And according to SharedDesks, a coworking site finder, Flip-Work knows the value of making work fun. It includes a "Decompression Room" with pool, air hockey, and foosball tables as well as a rooftop bar and restaurant.
Locations: Denver and New York City
Cost: Full-time memberships start at $325 a month in Denver and $550 a month in New York.
These coworking spaces come highly recommended by DeskHero because of their focus on sustainability and the environment. The Denver space has 40 businesses working from its solar-powered facility, replete with soft cork flooring in the restrooms and original concrete elsewhere, all-natural clay walls with no VOC paint and solar tube light fixtures. It also hosts events that raise social awareness, such as a monthly vegan supper club and a "Handmade Homemade Market" that features local vendors. Sixty businesses work from the New York space, which brags of composting, eco-friendly cleaning products, and efficient energy sources.
Locations: Miami
Cost: Memberships start at $50 a month.
While you may not think of Miami as a hotspot for tech start-ups, this coworking space is doing everything it can to foster an environment of innovation there, starting with offering memberships for as low as $150 for three months. When it opened two years ago it let local tech groups use its space for meet-ups without charge. Now that it has 60 members made up of small tech start-ups, creative professionals and new media, it hosts workshops, speaking events, and networking mixers to grow the Miami tech community. Other kinds of entrepreneurs—such as lawyers, financial advisers, and real estate brokers—also like to hang out here because of the coworking vibe.
Locations: New York City
Cost: Rent space by the day ($35) or by the month ($500).
Grind encourages collaboration in both its physical and digital spaces. Each of its 300 members has a profile online that lists what they can do, what kind of help they need and contact information. The physical space is also high-tech and sustainable. A wave of a membership card opens a member's locker or broadcasts a portfolio on the monitors. And its Tru-stile doors are made out of 82 percent post-industrial waste and the faucets use 30 percent less water.
Locations: Los Angeles and Santa Monica
Cost: Memberships start at $75 a month for a "Virtual Office" plan that includes part-time office access, or $99 a month for full-time office access.
These coworking spaces are different because they were designed by architect Jerome Chang who intentionally created them to address how people actually work and collaborate. "People treat our 'architect-y' offices like a destination so they really want to come in and work and visit," he says, adding that 200 businesses work from his two locations. MySpace CEO Mike Jones used to work from the LA spot. — Christina DesMarais

OXFORD, Ohio - For the fourth straight year, the third-ranked and top-seeded Miami University hockey team will head to Detroit for the Central Collegiate Hockey Association Semifinals after it closed out its best-of-three CCHA Quarterfinal series with a hard-fought, 4-1 victory over No. 11-seed Michigan State in the decisive third game Sunday night at Steve Cady Arena. The RedHawks (24-10-5) won Saturday's game, 4-1, as well, after dropping the series opener to the Spartans (14-25-3), 3-0, on Friday.
Miami freshman forward Sean Kuraly recorded the first multi-goal game of his career Sunday, while classmate Kevin Morris and sophomore forward Austin Czarnik also found the back of the net. Senior defenseman Steven Spinell tallied two assists.
The RedHawks will face No. 7-seed Michigan in the semifinals on Saturday in Detroit at Joe Louis Arena. Semifinal game times are 1:05 p.m. and 4:35 p.m. though Miami's time slot has not yet been announced.
The Wolverines defeated No. 10-seed Northern Michigan in the opening round of the CCHA Tournament and swept No. 3-seed Western Michigan in the quarterfinals. No. 2-seed Notre Dame and No. 4-seed Ohio State will face off in the other semifinal matchup.
"This is the first senior class to go (to the CCHA Semifinals) all four years," Miami coach Enrico Blasi said. "It's not an easy place to get to and for them to be there all four years is quite an accomplishment."
The RedHawks opened the scoring Sunday with a short-handed goal at the 15:03 mark of the first period. Michigan State goalie Jake Hildebrand attempted to clear the puck behind his own net, but his shot hit the goal post instead. Morris, who was waiting near the crease, easily redirected the puck into the wide-open net. The short-handed goal was Miami's eighth of the season, which is second-most nationally behind Robert Morris' nine, while MU also scored short-handed Saturday night. It was Morris' seventh tally of the season and first short-handed.
Kuraly put the 'Hawks up 2-0 with 2:07 left in the opening frame, as he swooped through the right circle and ripped a hard wrist shot past Hildebrand. Kuraly ended a scoring slump, as his last goal came against Lake Superior on Dec. 7, 2012. Spinell and freshman forward Alex Gacek earned assists on the play.
"Michigan State played a great game tonight," Blasi said. "They came at us and we got a lucky bounce on the first goal. I thought the second was a great effort by Kuraly."
Hildebrand, who finished with nine saves and took the loss, was replaced with Will Yanakeff between the pipes before the start of the second period.
The Spartans scored their lone goal 6:46 into the second period on the power play with a 5-on-3 advantage. Matt DeBlouw blasted a one-timer from the blue line past freshman goaltender Ryan McKay, who finished with 18 saves on 19 shots while making his fifth straight start in net. Michigan State finished 1-for-7 with the man-advantage however, while the RedHawks were 1-for-5 a man up.
Miami, which was called for five penalties in the second frame compared to MSU's one, was able to hold off the visitors despite being down a man or two for nearly half the period. In total, the RedHawks were whistled seven times for 14 penalty minutes, while the Spartans finished with five penalties for 10 minutes.
"We got into penalty trouble in the second," Blasi said. "They came back and made a push. We got a huge power play goal in the third. I thought we did a really good job in the third not giving them anything."
MU scored twice in the final frame, starting with a power play goal with 10:58 to go. Kuraly banged home a rebound off a sophomore forward Cody Murphy shot in front of the net to make the score 3-1. The goal was the freshman forward's fifth of the season and third on the man advantage. Miami's captain, Spinell, picked up his other assist on the play.
The RedHawks sealed the victory with 24 second remaining, as Czarnik scored from center ice on a Michigan State empty net after Yanakeff was pulled for the extra attacker. The sophomore forward netted three goals against the Spartans on the weekend and now has 36 points (14 goals, 22 assists) on the season.
Yanakeff totaled 22 saves in relief as Miami outshot MSU, 35-19, the third straight night the RedHawks put more shots on target than the Spartans.
Miami improved to 3-2 all-time in decisive game threes of a CCHA Playoff series with Sunday's win while the RedHawks have made it to the CCHA Semifinals all four times they have been a No. 1 seed.

TomTom to support National Family Week 2009

TomTom to support National Family Week 2009
~ Sat nav specialist teams up with Enjoy England to support National Family Week and help families save time and money this summer with free 'points of interest' ~
11 May 2009 – TomTom, the world's leading portable navigation solutions provider, is supporting National Family Week (25-31 May 2009) and has joined forces with Enjoy England to help families around the UK to save time and money, and reduce stress, as well as helping them to find new places to explore this summer.
According to new research from VisitEngland*, around five million people are considering a holiday at home this year rather than going abroad. TomTom has teamed up with Enjoy England, the national tourist body's consumer-facing brand, to offer families the chance to download a complete set of family-friendly 'Points of Interest' (POIs) for their TomTom navigation device – completely free of charge – enabling them to visit venues and attractions around the country that they may never have considered before.
With more than 17,000 quality-assessed places of accommodation, plus 5,000+ attractions around England, families can enjoy their holidays without the worry of knowing where to take the children to keep them entertained, or where to find a great hotel or restaurant – and without the arguments associated with reading a map or asking for directions! The POIs include a huge range of attractions from beaches and theme parks to campsites and wildlife centres. The POIs are available at: www.enjoyengland.com/tomtom
Damian Woodward, sales and marketing manager, TomTom, said, "Sat nav is an essential aid to driving that can save a family time, fuel and money, as well as making the driving environment safer and less stressful for everyone – whether travelling to school, driving to work, visiting relatives or driving on a family holiday. We are pleased to support National Family Week and help families explore new places around England, while also participating in some of the family-oriented activities as part of this special initiative."
As part of the National Family Week activities, TomTom will also be taking part in a Guinness World Record picnic attempt on Monday 25 May 2009. Thousands of families around the UK will join in the fun on this Bank Holiday. Anyone interested in taking part in a National Family Week Picnic event can find out more at: http://www.nationalfamilyweek.co.uk
Saving time, money and stress with TomTom navigation** Driving with a navigation device has been proven to:
- - Reduce driver stress – 74% of drivers feel less stressed when driving with a sat nav
- Save time and money – drivers can save up to 2,000 miles and 60 hours in the car per annum
- Enhance safety – the risk of accidents is 12% lower when driving with a sat nav
** Based on research commissioned on behalf of TomTom in 2007 and 2008
Notes to Editors
TomTom is an official 'Friend of National Family Week 2009'. National Family Week takes place from 25th to 31st May 2009, and is a Government-backed initiative organised by Henley Media Group. More information at http://www.nationalfamilyweek.co.uk.
* The VisitEngland research surveyed more than 1,000 UK residents and was completed in March 2009 in relation to the credit crunch and its affect on inbound and outbound tourism from the UK. The research showed that, whilst some 90% of the population are cutting back on their overall spend, a holiday is seen as a necessity rather than a luxury, but in an effort to save money, one in five of those who took an overseas holiday last year have said that they would consider switching to the UK this year.

CNN Money
Call it the jatropha bubble.When word got out several years ago about the promise of a small subtropical tree called jatropha, it became a biofuel sensation. Advocates claimed the fruit tree was hearty, drought-resistant and could be grown on marginal land. Its oil seeds offered a promising biofuel that wouldn't compete with food crops.Air Japan, Continental Airlines and Air New Zealand ran test flights of planes using jatropha-based biofuel, prompting more than 100 companies to plunk down millions on jatropha plantations in developing countries. Energy giant BP sunk $160 million into the farms, and one industry group projected that $1 billion would be invested annually in jatropha.Then everything crashed. Jatropha, it turned out, was much harder to grow than once thought.
