Controlled Oral Word Association Test

Category fluency; CFL test; COWA; COWAT; F-A-S test; Letter fluency; Phonemic fluency; Verbal fluency
The Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT) is a measure of verbal fluency and is a subtest of the Multilingual Aphasia Examination (MAE; Benton, Hamsher, & Sivan, 1994). The COWAT uses the three letter set of C, F, and L to assess phonemic fluency. Individuals are given 1 min to name as many words as possible beginning with one of the letters. The procedure is then repeated for the remaining two letters (see Strauss, Sherman, & Spreen, 2006 and Benton, Hamsher, Rey, & Sivan, 1994 for specific administration instructions). Several tests of phonemic fluency exist, some of which are part of larger test batteries (e.g., the MAE or the Neurosensory Center Comprehensive Examination for Aphasia; Spreen & Benton, 1977) and others that can be administered independently (e.g., the F-A-S Test).

The gracious owner greets each guest personally at this tiny gem of a traditional French restaurant where white linens, fresh flowers, and candlelight on the dozen or so tables set the stage for meals of such seasonally changing, well-executed bistro classics as crepes, rack of lamb, or a sauté of lobster, prawns, and scallops. The primarily French wine list has plenty of affordable options, and the bread pudding, crème brûlée, and house-made sorbets are much-loved finales. Piaf chansons on the speakers and Matisse originals on the wall add to the pleasing character.

Was it like dining in a bistro in Paris? Yes. The imaginative menu did an excellent job of creating a Parisian menu in the Pacific Northwest. Yes, you do get greeted by the owner, who helps take care of you and make you feel special. But it took forever and a day to go through the dinner. I understand how Europeans eat at a slower pace but this was a pace a Galapagos tortoise could easily outstrip! For two of us without a drop of romance in
mind had a dinner that took four hours to work through. I'm just glad we didn't have my 8 year old daughter. Good dinner though she is, she'd never have made it!

How Fed policymakers affect the economy
Wednesday - 1/30/2013, 2:05pm EST
By The Associated Press
(AP) - The Federal Reserve's chief policymaking group, the Federal Open Market Committee, has vast power over the economy through its ability to set monetary policy.
Here is a look at how the FOMC operates.
Q: What is the FOMC's primary role?
A: Its mission is to keep the economy, inflation and employment on a healthy track. When the economy weakens, Fed policymakers cut interest rates or keep them low. The lower interest rates are aimed at promoting increased borrowing and spending by consumers and businesses to spur economic growth. When the economy grows so fast that inflation becomes a threat, Fed policymakers raise rates or keep them high. That makes it costlier for people to get loans and means less borrowing and spending. Economic activity slows and inflation pressures ease.
Q: How does the FOMC move interest rates?
A: Its policymakers decide whether to buy securities from banks. The banks sell those securities to the Fed and receive money from the Fed which they can use to make more loans. That acts to lower the interest that banks charge for those loans. Conversely, if the Fed wants to raise interest rates, it sells Treasury securities to the banks, pulling money out of the financial system and raising the cost for loans. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is responsible for conducting these operations. After the financial crisis struck in 2008, the Fed pursued other, more unconventional steps to aid the economy. Among other actions, it bought more than $2 trillion in Treasury and mortgage-backed securities. The goal was to drive down long-term interest rates, to spur more borrowing and spending and lift stock prices.
Q: Who's on the FOMC?
A: It's composed of:
_ The Fed's Board of Governors in Washington, which has seven members.
_ The president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
_ Four of the remaining 11 presidents of the Fed's regional banks. They serve one-year terms on a rotating basis.
The current roster of voting members: Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, Vice Chairwoman Janet Yellen, and Fed Governors Elizabeth Duke, Jerome Powell, Sarah Bloom Raskin, Jeremy Stein and Daniel Tarullo, all based in Washington; William Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; James Bullard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis; Charles Evans, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Esther George, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, and Eric Rosengren, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
Q: How often does the FOMC meet?
A: It regularly meets eight times a year at the Fed's Washington headquarters. During the financial crisis, the FOMC also held emergency meetings, mostly by video conference. This year, all its meetings will take place over two days to allow more time for discussion.
Q: When does the FOMC announce its rate decisions?
A: It depends. Four of each year's meetings provide only a statement around 2:15 p.m. once the meeting ends. That was the case Wednesday. For the four other meetings, Chairman Ben Bernanke holds a news conference around 2:15 p.m. on the second day. On those occasions, the Fed issues a statement earlier, around 12:30 p.m. The Fed has said that having a predictable time for its announcements helps investors digest and react to its policy decisions.
Q: How are the FOMC's rate decisions approved?
A: By a majority of the 12 voting members. Unlike the Supreme Court, close votes on the FOMC are rare. It might unnerve financial markets if investors felt that the Fed chairman was unable to command widespread support for his policies. Last year, all Fed policy decisions were approved on 11-1 votes, with Jeffrey Lacker, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, dissenting at all eight meetings. Lacker was concerned that the Fed's policies could lead to higher inflation. He does not have a vote this year.
Q: How are Fed officials selected?
A: The president nominates the Fed chairman and his colleagues on the board of governors in Washington. They must be confirmed by the Senate. The presidents of the 12 regional Fed banks are appointed by each bank's board of directors, with approval from the Fed's board. The 2010 Dodd-Frank law revamping the nation's financial system bars bankers who sit on the regional boards from voting for the regional bank president. Other local business people serving on the boards still retain their vote. This change was made to address concerns about potential conflicts of interest between the Fed and banks which are regulated by the Fed.
Q: How and why was the Fed created?
A: Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. The legislation was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on Dec. 23, 1913. The Fed began operating in 1914. It was created in response to a series of bank panics that plagued the United States during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Those panics led to bank failures and business bankruptcies that roiled the economy.

Got Questions? We've got answers from experts and parents who've been there.
Blame it on those pregnancy hormones. Increased estrogen levels cause up to two-thirds of pregnant women to feel itchy, especially on the palms of their hands and soles of their feet. It's also quite common for the skin across your belly to grow dry and itchy as it stretches. The best treatment for this is to moisturize often. Since your skin may be very sensitive, choose a gentle, unscented lotion (there are many on the market designed just for expectant moms).
Later on in your pregnancy, you might also experience a condition called PUPPP (it stands for pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy), which is an itchy, bumpy rash usually found on the abdomen, thighs, butt, or arms. First-time moms and women carrying twins are more commonly affected. A small percentage of women also come down with a more serious condition called cholestasis of pregnancy, which involves severe itchiness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, and possibly jaundice (yellowing of the skin). Since cholestasis could be a sign of a liver problem, call your doctor right away if you experience those symptoms. Both PUPPP and cholestasis are treated with prescription medication and usually improve shortly after your baby is born.

two days in a row
in Evia last year, he quit the race out of frustration, being on a 990 and competing for the 2-cylinder cup, it was just impossible for him to pass 65 bikes each day on the tighter european tracks (he is damn fast, his position was definitely top 20 overall as his times were on the first 3 days). They mistakenly (or purposely - that's another story that includes politics) gave him a non-existent 4 hour penalty each day (they had lost his time card and slapped him with allegedly not finishing the special) which put him on the starting list in the low 80s... It was murder.
Ended up banging his fists on the secretary table and spitting venom, even taking the issue up with the Motorcycle Federation here. I completely understand...

2" Sight Glass with TriClamp ends

Snappy deliver for UPS ground it only took a few days. And I swear as I unwrapped the package it got heavier and heavier. Love the little draw string bag the sight glass came in, it was a nice touch. This is exceptionally well build bit of harware. Nice one Mile Hi.

Makes it much easier to see when the still is in reflux
Posted by Unknown on 16th Jul 2014
I love the sight glass window! It adds a whole new dimension of Bad@ss to my still and serves a functional purpose as you can see how much reflux action is going on (and its fun to watch). Also this thing is super heavy duty, it weighs like 5 pounds and I never have to worry about breaking it, even when dropped on the driveway.
Don't forget to buy another set of gaskets for it though! You'll need them for the connection from still to sight glass to tower

This thing is built like a brick sh*t house! It looks good installed on top of my boiler
Posted by Unknown on 1st Mar 2013
I have been researching stills now for a while. This sight glass is so nice I had to buy two of them. If they work as good as they look-can't wait to use them.
Posted by Unknown on 26th Jan 2013
Solid enough that it got pulled out of my place after a house fire a few days after I received it. Not a crack or scratch on it. Now that should tell you something about the quality. And, no, the house fire had nothing to do with me or my "stuff". Just an idiot neighbor who did not know how to put out a grease fire.
Posted by Hootch on 29th Dec 2012
Most of us know the process but it is great to actually see the reflux in action.
This is a quality piece of glass and stainless steel.
Posted by Ryan on 28th Nov 2012
This is an awesome add on to your still. Quality is exceptional as expected from Mile Hi.
Posted by Mike on 3rd Nov 2012
My entire Mile Hi Still is awesome but this Sight Glass really is Great! You can see the vapors as they evaporate and then condense down the sides. It's a looking glass as to what is happening inside the whole distillation process.
I love mine and highly recommend the item. EXTREMELY well-built and very heavy duty.

CAPE ROMAIN The sisters are a pair, tawny red and wary, eyeing onlookers from a bed of pine needles where they are all but camouflaged.
This is their turf now, an exhibit enclosure at the Sewee Visitors Center.
The red wolf has returned. After two years, the creatures are back whose lives in the wild at Bulls Island become the symbol of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge.
The 4-year-old sisters were loosed from the crates late Thursday after a long ride from Salisbury Zoological Park in Maryland.
They werent any worse for the wear, slipping off with the stealth of cats and the grace of deer. Dan Ashworth, the refuge biologist, sighed to watch it.
Ah, finally. Weve got them back in Awendaw again, he said.
Just to see them move, theres that wild presence, said Patricia Lynch, the refuge visitors service manager. We had this empty space.
In captivity at the center, they serve a dual purpose: educating people about the species and endangered species generally, as well as helping provide remotely located back-up populations for the wolf breeding program at the Alligator River in North Carolina. Nearly 200 red wolves are in captivity in 40 facilities across the country.
They used to serve a larger role.
Red wolves are the German shepherd-like smaller cousins of the wider spread and better known gray wolf.
Native to the Southeast, red wolves were once the marauders of the Lowcountry coast. A settlers account in 1718 talked about the howling wolves hunting deer in great droves in the night and making the most hideous and frightful noise.
Hunted down as livestock killers, the pure red wolf population was considered extinct in the wild by 1980, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service launched a recovery program with a wild breeding program on Bulls Island.
The program bred 25 pups, the impetus to restoring a wild population now at about 100 wolves at Alligator River.
It didnt take long for the stealthy canines to sneak into the hearts of the Lowcountry. The hard-to-spot island wolves drew a stream of visitors with just the thought that they might see one. Occasional escapes to nearby islands became popular events.
Budget cuts ended the program in 2005; the wolves were captured and relocated. A handful remained penned at Cape Romain in the exhibit enclosures.
The sisters replace older wolves that were moved two years ago so the enclosure and a breeding enclosure alongside could be repaired. Refuge managers hope a breeding pair will join the sisters before too long.
Meanwhile, Fish and Wildlife researchers are again studying the bigger question whether to try to restore a native population to the wild here.
The old varmint wolf, it seems, has become an eco-tourism draw, and the service is pushing for nature tourist revenue.

Avast, me hearties! Yon 'morrow is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. If'n ye'd like to bellow like a true buccaneer, ye best be practicin' smartly 'fore the dawn. "Yes" tis an "aye," "no" tis a "nay," yer neighbor tis a "bilge rat," an' yer boss be a "scallywag." "Wow" be "blimey!" an' "gangway!" is what ye yells from yer car window. An' ye best learn how to chat like a pirate, too. Here's what we got shipshape this week:
- Unleash your inner curator: If you're a photo nut, it's easy to get sucked into exploring the more than 3.4 billion photos on Flickr. And if you've ever wanted to collect and horde your favorites by theme, have we got a new feature for you. Introducing Flickr Galleries, which gives members a handy way to celebrate the creativity of their fellow photographer. You can curate together up to 18 public photos or videos in one place - Big Ben, blue eyes, snails, cats with thumbs, mannequins, what have you. To get started, just click on the "Add to Gallery" icon on the menu bar. Just five days out of the gate and it's a very popular feature - you've created more than 25,000 galleries to date. More here.
- Out with the old: The Messenger team has news for anyone using Yahoo! Messenger versions 6.0 through 7.5. As of September 30th, we'll be retiring those oldies. If you're using anything below 8.0, you'll find you won't be able to sign in. That's the price of progress, right? (We wouldn't want you to be that guy still using a mobile phone with an antennae.) While Messenger 9.0 and the beta of Messenger 10 are rich in features like video sharing, full-screen video chat, spam protection, and more, we realize people like options. So after September 30th, you can also try Yahoo! Messenger for the Web or the IM built into Yahoo! Mail. More here.
- Celebrate en Español: In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Yahoo! En Español has teamed up with Kodak to invite Latinos - and Latinos at heart - to "Muestra Tu Herencia" (Show Your Heritage).

NetJets leader out, stirs speculation on Buffett
OMAHA, Neb. The departure of NetJets Inc.'s founder is stirring speculation about who has the inside track on succeeding billionaire Warren Buffett at the aviation services company's parent, Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Buffett named David Sokol as NetJets chairman and interim CEO to succeed Richard Santulli. Both men were among four people mentioned as possible successors to the legendary Buffett at Omaha-based Berkshire.
Sokol is the current chairman of Berkshire's Des Moines, Iowa-based utility company MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co.
Analyst Justin Fuller said Wednesday he thinks Sokol has the edge.
"In my mind, it continues to make him – if I were to handicap it – the front runner to take over the operating side of Berkshire at some point," said Fuller, who works with Midway Capital Research & Management in Chicago and writes about Berkshire online at http://www.buffettologist.com .
Buffett did not respond immediately Wednesday to a request for an interview about NetJets, which allows people and companies to share ownership of private jets. Sokol declined an interview request.
To replace Buffett, Berkshire plans to split his job into three parts – chief executive officer, chief investment officer and chairman. Buffett, however, has indicated that he has no plans to retire, and the 78-year-old says he loves his work and remains in good health.
Besides Sokol and Santulli, the other Berkshire managers who have been mentioned as possible chief executives are: Ajit Jain, who runs Berkshire's reinsurance division; and Tony Nicely, chief executive of Berkshire subsidiary Geico.
Buffett has said previously that the company has three outstanding internal candidates for CEO, but he has refused to name them.
Andy Kilpatrick, the stockbroker-author of "Of Permanent Value, the Story of Warren Buffett," said it was a bit of a surprise that Sokol was picked to run NetJets, but it says a lot about Sokol's abilities and it will contribute to speculation that he'll be Berkshire's next CEO.
"It'll definitely have more people watching Sokol, and he's certainly one of the people on everybody's short list," Kilpatrick said.
The move at NetJets also differs somewhat from what's happened in the past when Berkshire subsidiaries needed new leaders. Buffett has said he asks all the leaders of Berkshire's subsidiaries to identify their own successors, and it is rare for Berkshire to move its managers around between its businesses.
"It also indicates that they weren't happy with the succession planning done at the company," Fuller said.
In a statement Tuesday, Santulli said he informed Buffett earlier that day that he planned to step down immediately at NetJets after a 25-year career, so he could spend more time with his family and pursue other interests. He will remain with the company as a consultant for at least the next 12 months to assist with the transition.
"It is with reluctance that I accept Richard's decision to step down. Richard Santulli is synonymous with the fractional jet ownership industry and his vision and energy has made NetJets the leader that it is today," Buffett said in a statement.

It's possible they changed plans and didn't want Flair there just to be in the corner of The Miz for his Beat the Clock loss to Dolph Ziggler. Partial source: F4Wonline.com

Chandrayaan-1 Project Director M. Annadurai visits his ancestral home at Kothavady
COIMBATORE: "The Chandrayaan is over the Moon and I am here," remarked M. Annadurai, Project Director of Chandrayaan-1, as he visited his once ancestral home at Kothavady in Coimbatore district on Sunday after about three decades.
"I was in Class III when the village got its first streetlight. We were out on the streets till late in the night with excitement," he recalled.
On Sunday morning, the village wore a festive look with festoons and banners all over the place. Sneha and Sujith Kumar, class III students, had skipped their breakfast in the excitement of the "vignyani" (scientist) coming to their village. They were among the village elders, friends, relatives and classmates of Mr. Annadurai who gave him a rousing reception with the traditional nagaswaram and poornakumbam.
Walking in the midst of a jostling crowd, the scientist visited the panchayat union middle school, where he studied from Class I to V. Women welcomed him with vermillion and flower petals in front of their houses.
A brief reception was accorded to him near the school. Mr. Annadurai unfurled the national flag at the school as the children chorused: "Indiavin sadhanaiyalar vazhga", "Chandrayaan anupiya sadhanaiyaalar vazhga" and the nagaswaram played Sare Jahanse Acha. "I spoke to him for seven minutes last night over the phone," beamed A.R. Natarajan who was Mr. Annadurai's teacher in classes IV and V and was meeting him after 30 years. "We are proud to say that we were his teachers," he said.
District Elementary Education Officer M.E. Subramanian and school headmaster Ramaswamy showed him the old school registers that had his name. "More than launching the Chandrayaan, it is unfurling of the flag at the school that makes me feel great," Mr. Annadurai said.
The scientist donated a computer to the school, signed autographs to an unending line of children, accepted bouquets, garlands and gifts from friends, relatives, teachers and villagers. Mr. Annadurai said the village provided him the foundation. He urged the youth to work with commitment. "We need not go to other countries. We can achieve much here," he said.

First California marlin tailwalks into boat
California's first marlin of the season was landed in spectacular fashion Wednesday less than 10 miles outside Dana Harbor, and the story behind the catch is one of those classic fishing tales.
Doug Bury, 39, of Dana Point, said he and his fishing buddy, Chris Spillers, were fishing off Dana Point Wednesday in his 17-foot Aquasport center console boat when Spillers hooked a marlin.
"When Chris first hooked it, the marlin made some beautiful jumps, just a beautiful display about 30 feet from the boat," Bury said. "We'd already landed a 10- to 12-pound dorado at the spot, so we had a feeling there might be a marlin around. When he hooked it, though, we figured it would jump, and we'd get it close, but it would break off. It was about 20 feet from us when it made its first jumps, and then we were able to get most of the line back on the reel. We thought we'd get it close and it would break the line."
Spillers was using a "fun rod," a Shimano Calcutta 400 reel and a Seeker 196C rod that Bury and Spillers use mostly for calico bass, small dorado and yellowtail. The reel was loaded with 50-pound Power Pro backing, 20-pound test Berkley Big Game monofilament and a topshot of 20-pound Blackwater fluorocarbon tied to a 2/0 Owner flyline hook, baited with a sardine.
As Bury said, that's not exactly marlin gear.
But the line didn't break. When Spillers reeled the marlin closer to the boat, the big fish started tailwalking across the water.
"I made a joke that it might jump right into the boat with us, and all of a sudden it made a U-turn and came right at us," Bury said. "Maybe it heard me . . . and before we had any chance to react, it jumped into the bow of the boat and got its bill stuck between the rod holder and the hatch. We couldn't believe it, but it speared the hatch of the boat."
Bury grabbed the marlin's tail to control it and keep it from thrashing, and he tried to pull the marlin and its bill out of the hatch.
"I just did my best right away to get the bill unstuck, but it wouldn't budge," Bury said. "He broke up my hatch, and Chris moved in to grab it behind the dorsal fin to try and get it out. It took us three tries to get him out, and I thought for sure we were going to have to kill him. But we got him loose and then he started moving toward my fuel line and electrical wiring."
Bury never let go of the tail during the entire ordeal, that he said really wasn't much more than a couple minutes.
"I held the tail and have the bruises to prove it," Bury said. "Once we got him free, he took me for a ride. Chris grabbed the bill end and I held onto the tail. I had the tail a bit higher, and that caused some problems getting it up over the 3-foot gunnel and into the water."

I had dinner with some friends. The food was very good, good service and nice romantic atmosphere. Definetively a place to reccomand.
Had a fabulous meal here with some business colleagues. The restaurant was recommended by someone and having checked out the review here I decided to book - I was so glad I did!
Firstly though, I have to reinforce what some people have said before - it really is quite hard to find. Also be careful when driving down the...
Very attentive service, very good food, reasonable prices. A bit hard to find but worth the effort. Be sure to ask for a table in the main hall with stone walls. You can rely on the waiter for good advice regarding food and wine.
This restaurant is amazing. A bit hard to find as it's located in a private street and a bit downhill, but the food and service are sure worth the effort. The decor of the first area upon entry is warm and romantic as it almost feels like you're having diner in someone's living room. The second area seemed a bit...
I heard about this restaurant by chance and it was a very pleasant discovery. The atmosphere is very warm, both the food and the wine were great. Price is reasonable compared to the quality, but still not so high. Recommended.
The food was great, excellent service, huge selection of wine, great atmosphere. Strongly recommended.
solid food, worth the short ride out of the center, but its extremely hard to find and the parking is atrocious, but be very sure how to get there , my GPS was useless....not unusual for Italy I'm afraid....
We went there after a review i read online, and we were so happy we did!
The place is as authentic as it gets, all of the guests and staff were Italian (yet they spoke English). The waiter explained on each individual dish and recommended of the best Prosecco I have ever had!
The food is not stereotypical Italia but...
We had one menu and one a la carte four-course meal. Food was delicious and wine (a local Sforzato) even more. The location is lively and cosy. Service was a bit slow.
We were here a year ago and had a very nice dinner but thought it pricey, nothing has changed. Although the menu is different it still works out quite pricey. We live here and can say the wine is over priced even by Italian standards.
Menu is inventive but quite small which on a positive note means everything is naturally...

Applicants flocking to Cal State campuses
More students vie for fewer spots
So far this year:
68,238: Applications to campuses in the California State University system, a 24 percent increase over this time last year.
8,557: Applications to San Diego State University, a 9 percent increase over this time last year.
3,400: Applications to Cal State San Marcos – a 65 percent increase over this time last year.
SOURCES: CSU system, SDSU and Cal State San Marcos
Students set on attending a Cal State campus next fall may want to fire off an application right now.
The 23-campus California State University system already has seen a 24 percent increase in applications at a time when the state budget crunch is forcing many of the campuses to consider closing application windows early and capping or reducing enrollment levels for fall 2009.
The result is that more students are potentially competing for fewer slots, a trend reverberating at many higher education institutions as the number of high school graduates has grown.
"It's one of the ironies of higher education. As the demand increases, the capacity to serve decreases because states run into trouble as California has" with its budget, said Jerry Sullivan, executive director of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
The nation's less expensive state campuses such as the Cal State schools are likely to see more applicants during an economic downturn, he said. Plus, the overall applicant pool has grown as the number of U.S. high school graduates has surpassed 3 million in recent years, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
The University of California system doesn't begin accepting undergraduate applications until Nov. 1, but the CSU system, which includes San Diego State University and Cal State San Marcos, had received 68,238 applications by Oct. 17, compared with 54,991 at the same time last year.
Applications had jumped about 10 percent by this time last year.
"This rate of increase is probably unparalleled in the last half-decade or so," said Jim Blackburn, director of enrollment management services for CSU, which plans to reduce or cap fall 2009 enrollment at the current level of about 450,000 students.
So far this year, SDSU has seen a 9 percent rise in applications while Cal State San Marcos has seen a 65 percent jump.
SDSU already reduced its student body by nearly 1,000 this fall because of overenrollment and budget constraints. Money woes prompted the university to slash the number of course sections, increase some class sizes and reduce faculty. Cal State San Marcos made some staff cuts and closed a computer lab, among other measures.
Community colleges also are in higher demand when they can least afford it. The San Diego Community College District, for example, saw a 7 percent enrollment increase as state funding levels have caused a reduction in the number of courses offered.
Cal State officials have been pushing students to apply early. The system sets Nov. 30 as the priority application deadline for undergraduates, but that's the final deadline at SDSU and a handful of other "impacted" schools, which have much higher enrollment demand than openings.

Ecco ist ein tolles Spiel und war zur damaligen Zeit ein guter Grund sich den Mega Drive anzuschaffen. Ein hervorragender Vorzeigetitel. Dank der tollen Grafik, des perfekten Sounds, der wahnsinnigen Geschwindigkeit, die sogar Sonic Konkurrenz machen kann, und des abwechslungsreichen Gameplays zählt Ecco zu den besten Genesis-Titeln überhaupt. Einzigster Wehrmutstropfen ist, wie schon erwähnt, der Schwierigkeitsgrad. Dennoch bekommt das Spiel die volle Punktzahl. Denn egal wie schwer das Spiel auch manchmal erscheint, es gibt immer eine Möglichkeit zum Weiterkommen. Und wer sich in Geduld übt, wird an diesem Spiel seine wahre Freude haben.
Ecco: The Tides of Time is just as fun as the original, and NEEDS to be in your collection. Incredibly fun, incredibly unique, and incredibly challenging. It is just rather sad that the series is not all that well-known, because these games are truly masterpieces plain, and simple. If you ever have the chance to play this or any of the other Ecco games, do not pass it up. I can guarantee that you will have a great time, and if it's this particular game, I guarantee you 100% that you will feel alone and scared, as Ecco was.
GameFan Magazine
Ecco and me did not get along. Ecco 2, however, is a much better game, featuring more of what I love (action) and less of what I hate (puzzles and riddles). It still has a little of both, so it bugged me a bit, but not nearly as much as part one. The graphics in E2 are stupendous and the music is very good. If you liked one, stop eating tuna! E2 is the stuff!
Mega Fun
Ich mag die Atmosphäre der Ecco-Spiele einfach: Die meditative Musik und der ruhige Spielverlauf verleihen diesem Spiel einen ganz besonderen Touch. Ecco 2 ist insgesamt gesehen eine Steigerung gegenüber dem ersten Teil, wobei man die Verbesserungen erst im Laufe des Spiels zu schätzen lernt. So wurde die Grafik bspw. wesentlich abwechslungsreicher gestaltet, was beim Unterwasser-Thema keine leichte Aufgabe war. Grafisch zwar schön anzusehen aber spielerisch nicht besonders spannend ist hingegen die vielzitierte 3D-Runde. Anfangs noch lustig, macht das öde Schwimmen durch die Teleporter-Ringe bald keinen besonderen Spaß mehr; anders dagegen der eigentliche Spielverlauf: Die häppchenweise servierten Levels mit kleinen Puzzle-Aufgaben erfordern ein hohes Maß an Geschicklichkeit und ein immer genaueres Vorausplanen; das ideale Spiel für sanfte Gemüter.
Video Games & Computer Entertainment
It's a very relaxing game, not for those of you are really fidgety and want to play fighting games all the time. Fans of the first Ecco game will want to check it out; the ring-jumping stages are cool indeed.
GamePro (US)
There's no doubt that Tides of Time offers a lot, providing a scenic variety of levels for the player to swim through and solve. Occasional control glitches do bring their share of frustration, but you still get a solid dose of entertainment. This sequel proves that Ecco's not washed up yet.
The Video Game Critic
Your favorite dolphin is back with a whole new collection of puzzles, so if you liked the first Ecco, it goes without saying that you'll love this one. In this edition you'll rescue baby Orcas, teleport to distant lands, and even morph into other sea creatures. The gameplay is more complex this time around, resulting in tougher and more complicated puzzles. There's a new pseudo-3D obstacle course stage in which you swim through rings, but it didn't do much for me. Like the first Ecco, the graphics and sound are top notch. The music is more funky this time around, and it will grow on you. With over 40 levels of head-scratching puzzle fun, Tides of Time is a solid sequel.
Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM)
The first Ecco was a mind-blowing game, yet this version takes that feeling and doubles it! This game has some of the most colorful graphics and a beautifully orchestrated soundtrack. The number of puzzles have been reduced (thank you) and there is more action and adventure to keep you busy. The 3-D levels are a sight to behold as well. Ecco 2 is a definite must-have for all you dolphin lovers.
As far as replay value, there's nothing special once you beat the game, although it will probably take you a while the first time through anyway. It's a satisfying game, and probably one of my favorites for the Genesis. It's worth a purchase since you should be able to find it cheap.
Game Players
The only reason for anyone to pick up this game is if you've mastered the old one and you're gonna go into convulsions unless you get a new Ecco challenge within the next few minutes. But if you're had your fill of the lovable dolphin and wouldn't mind seeing Ecco trapped in a tuna net, leave this one on the rack.

'Time' Names Bernanke 'Person of the Year'
Fed Chairman is third Jew to win honor
Princeton economics professor turned Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke scored the famous year-end Time cover, it was revealed today. "There is irony here," notes Time managing editor Richard Stengel in an interview with Bernanke, "that here's this man who spends his life distinguishing himself studying economic history—and then one day you wake up and realize that you're at the center of economic history in a really unusual chapter."
The mild-mannered—let's say "nerdy," since everyone else does—yet super-powerful policymaker becomes the third Jew to receive Time's designation, after Yitzhak Rabin and Henry Kissinger, both of whom shared the honor with others. Bernanke grew up in Dillon, South Carolina, in "an observant Jewish family in a tight-knit Christian community where social life revolved around church." What distinguished the Bernankes most, though, was not their religion but their attitude toward blacks: "Once," we learn, Bernanke's "house was egged after he ate dinner with a black friend named Kenneth Manning at the local Shoney's." Finally, Bernanke plays down his pre-Fed leadership experience, which was basically confined to heading Princeton's economics department, thusly: "he liked to joke that his major decisions involved what type of bagels to order for faculty meetings."

My wife and I regularly travel for work to Salt Lake City and we've always chosen to stay in Park City – convenience, culture, the mountains. This past summer, we opted to stay in a vacation rental, operated by Park City Vacation Properties – iTrip, and we were very much impressed. It was great to have the additional space, the mountainside location to enjoy a hike or bike ride after a full day indoors and for the option to stay-in, relax and enjoy a home cooked meal. We're travelling to SLC again this winter, for work and leisure, and we will definitely choose to use their services again.
My family and I really enjoyed our winter vacation in Park City. The condo was spacious, well designed and beautifully furnished to suit the local atmosphere. The amenities were vast and the interior was quintessential of an old ski town. It had all the comforts of home and was an excellent experience, from the condo itself to the service we received. We would stay here again or at another property managed by Park City Vacation Properties, iTrip.
We have stayed in many VRBO/Homeaway properties over the years, but hands down, this has been the cleanest, most luxurious and personally decorated property we have ever stayed in. It was easy to find, check-in was simple (electronic locking system) and the location was perfect. This home is well designed & decorated with appropriate western & mountain decor; it's like a five star hotel, only better. It has a nice gourmet kitchen and open layout that is perfect for entertaining friends or to have a quiet night in. The pictures do not do this location or property justice. The best part was relaxing in a quiet, peaceful setting surrounded by nature in a private Jacuzzi hot tub. We were sitting on the porch one night, looking into the trees and a deer stood up and walked away. Anyone choosing to stay here will never regret it! In addition, the iTrip Park City management team was exceptional with it's customer service.
4 of us just stayed at the lodge for a ski vacation and we couldn't have been happier! The condo was very clean and steps from the Deer Valley Lift Ticket window. The parking was terrific too....very easy and warm. We cooked dinner at the condo 2 times, and found more than enough tools and utensils! There were only 6 "dinner" plates, so we had to run the dishwasher a few times. I have already referred another couple to this condo, and will continue to recommend staying here!
We stayed here for New Years Eve with our 2 children. It was really nice how close we were to everything. And being on the first floor made it super nice with the little ones in tow. We were close enough to DV that we could come and go as needed without much effort. Our 3 year old loved swimming in the hot tub and riding the bus (which was also really close by). The actual unit was clean and we enjoyed it. We will for sure come back again, hopefully not too far in the distant future.
The home is in a great location, super convient. It was an easy walk across the street to the slopes. The beds are comfortable and we really enjoyed the views from the hot tub. We'll be back next year!
Park City, Utah has the right stuff – more accurately, the white stuff! Coined "The Greatest Snow on Earth", you'll find an average of 400 inches per year falling in this beautiful area tucked away mountains. Park City skiing is ideal, offering uncrowded slopes, diverse terrain and light, deep powdery snow.

Seattle Mariners (73-62) at Oakland Athletics (78-58), 4:05 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Seattle - Chris Young (12-6, 3.17) Oakland - Jason Hammel (1-5, 5.77)
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Oakland Athletics' lineup needs a jolt. They are hoping slugger Adam Dunn can provide just that. Dunn could make his Athletics debut on Monday when they start a three-game series with the Seattle Mariners at O.co Coliseum.
Oakland has lost 14 of its last 20 games and was just swept in a four-game series by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to fall five games off the pace in the American League West.
The A's may have hit rock bottom in Anaheim over the weekend, as they managed just 14 hits and were outscored 14-1 over the final three games, including an 8-1 setback on Sunday.
Josh Reddick drove in the lone run of the game for Oakland and snapped a 29- inning scoreless drought
"What can you say? Embarrassing. Pathetic. We don't play like that," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "The last three games here are the worst I've seen this team play in I can't remember how long. I feel bad for our fans who have to watch that."
With the offense struggling, essentially since the deal that sent Yoenis Cespedes to Boston, the A's took a flier on slugger Adam Dunn, as they acquired him from the Chicago White Sox for minor league pitcher Nolan Sanburn.
"We're trying to do whatever we can to get some offense going here," Melvin said. "The guy has a history of hitting homers and getting on base, and I know he's excited about being with us."
The 34-year-old Dunn has 460 home runs, 1,158 strikeouts and walked 1,311 times during his 14-year career. This season, Dunn has hit 20 homers with 54 RBI and a .220 batting average.
Getting the call for Oakland on Monday will be right-hander Jason Hammel, who is just 1-5 with a 5.77 ERA since being picked up from the Cubs. Hammel did not get a decision on Tuesday in Houston, but was terrific, allowing just a run and three hits in seven innings of his teams 4-2 loss.
Oakland has only won one of his eight starts since the deal.
Seattle, meanwhile, will counter with righty Chris Young, who will be trying to win his fifth straight decision.
Young, though, was lucky not to get a loss his last time out last Saturday in Boston, as he struggled with his command, walking five batters in just 3 2/3 innings. He also gave up three runs and seven hits, but did not factor in the decision of his team's 7-3 win.
"Rhythm, timing, tempo. I just had no feel for it," Young said. "I kept thinking I'd find it. I felt like I started to there in the fourth and then (Dustin) Pedroia had a great at-bat and rolled it through the hole for the base hit and then I went back to the stretch and just couldn't find it again. It was just one of those days.
"But ultimately, we won the game," said Young, who is 12-6 with a 3.17 ERA, "and that's my goal every time out, to help this team win. The guys picked me up and the credit all goes to them."
Seattle snapped a three-game losing streak on Sunday, as Dustin Ackley smacked a three-run homer and drove in four to carry the Mariners past the Washington Nationals, 5-3, to salvage the set.
Hisashi Iwakuma (13-6) allowed three runs on five hits with six strikeouts over six innings, while Austin Jackson went 3-for-4 with a run scored in the triumph.
"We got some big hits today," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. "Iwakuma didn't have his best stuff, but he battled."
Fernando Rodney tossed a scoreless ninth to notch his 39th save of the year.
Seattle is 7-6 against the A's this season.
