NGCP to collect P200M from power customers
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—The National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) has secured the regulator's nod to collect P212.5 million from power consumers in Luzon and Mindanao so that it can rehabilitate the transmission facilities damaged by typhoons and bombings.
In Luzon, the NGCP is set to collect an additional 55.922 centavos per kilowatt (kW) this year; 53.303 per kW in 2014; and 50.876 per kW in 2015.
In Mindanao, the NGCP will be collecting from customers 0.687 centavos per kW this year; 0.659 centavos per kW in 2014; and 0.632 centavos per kW in 2015.
"A perusal of the evidence presented by NGCP showed that the additional charges to be imposed are intended to rehabilitate its transmission network facilities which were heavily damaged due to typhoons and sabotage by lawless elements. Such rehabilitation will redound to the benefit of its customers in the Luzon and Mindanao grids in terms of continuous, reliable and efficient power supply as mandated by the Electric Power Industry Reform Act," the Energy Regulatory Commission said.
In two separate decisions, the ERC explained that the amounts to be collected would be used to repair the damages wrought by Tropical Storm Ondoy, as well as by Typhoons Pepeng, Basyang and Juan, apart from the bombings in Mindanao.
These events were considered "force majeure" by the ERC and thus the costs for the necessary capital projects can be recovered from consumers.
In September 2009, Tropical Storm Ondoy dumped heavy rainfalls, which caused massive flooding in substations located in Metro Manila and Central and Southern Luzon. Also, various transmission towers in Lanao del Norte were bombed by unidentified groups in the fourth quarter of 2009.

New to Surety?
The following links will help to familiarize with you with the surety bond process.
What is Surety?
Ten Things You Should Know About Surety
Common Types of Bonds
Surety Bonds - A Historical Perspective
Contractors - Your First Bond
Agents, contractors and developers, find your local Insco Dico Branch.
What is Surety?
Surety Bond:
A three party contract whereby the surety company provides assurance for the faithful performance of its principal.
Who are the Parties to a Surety Bond?
There are three parties to a surety bond: the surety, the principal and the obligee. The surety guarantees that the obligations of the principal to the obligee will be faithfully performed in accordance with a contract, statute or regulations.
What is the Bond Penalty?
The amount of the bond is called a "penalty". The penalty is the maximum amount the surety is obligated to pay if there is a default by the principal.
Ten Things You Should Know About Surety
A surety bond is an instrument under which one party guarantees to another that a third will perform a contract. Surety bonds used in construction are called contract bonds.
There are three types of bonds used in construction. The bid bond protects the owner by guaranteeing that the contractor will enter into the contract at the determined price. The performance bond guarantees the performance of the work on schedule and according to the plans and specifications. The payment bond guarantees that certain workers, subcontractors, and suppliers will be paid.
Construction is a very risky business. More than 10,800 contractors failed in 1997 - an increase of 11% from 1996. These failures caused more than $2 billion in liabilities. (SOURCE: Dun & Bradstreet Business Failure Record). Since 1985, surety companies have paid $7.2 billion because of contractor failures on bonded projects. Without bonding, these costs would have been borne by the owners of the projects.
Federal law (The Miller Act) mandates surety bonds for all public works contracts in excess of $100,000. Federal procurement officials may, at their discretion, require bonds on projects below that amount. All states have laws requiring bonds on public works (known as Little Miller Acts). Owners of private construction projects are recognizing the wisdom of requiring surety bonds to protect their company and shareholders from the enormous costs of contractor failure.
Although surety bonding is considered a line of insurance, it has many characteristics of bank credit. The surety does not lend the contractor money, but it does allow the surety's financial resources to be used to back the commitment of the contractor, thus enabling the contractor to acquire a contract with an owner. The owner receives guarantees from a financially responsible surety company licensed to transact suretyship.
Surety bonds, through the surety companies' prequalification of contractors, protect the owner and offer assurance to the lender, architect, and everyone else involved with the project that the contractor is able to translate the project's plans into a finished projects. Before issuing a bond the surety needs to be fully satisfied, among other criteria, that the contractor is:
of good character;
has experience matching the requirements of the contract;
has or can obtain the equipment necessary to do the work;
has the financial strength to support the desired work program;
has an excellent credit history; and
has established a banking relationship and a line of credit
Contract surety bonds:
guarantee the project will be completed;
guarantee that certain laborers, suppliers, and subcontractors will be paid;
relieve the owner from the risk of financial loss arising from liens filed by unpaid laborers, suppliers, and subcontractors;
smooth the transitions from construction to permanent financing by eliminating liens reduce the possibility of a contractor diverting funds from the project; and
lower the cost of construction in some cases by facilitating the use of competitive bids.
With a surety bond, the owner can be satisfied that a risk transfer mechanism is in place. The risks of construction are shifted away from the owner to the surety. If the contractor defaults, the surety may pay for a replacement contractor, finance the existing contractor, or provide technical and/or financial assistance.
The costs for bonds vary, but generally are one to three percent of the contract amount. On very large projects, the cost may be less than one percent.
To bond a project, the owner merely includes the bonding requirement in the plans and specifications of the project. Obtaining bonds and delivering them to the owner is the responsibility of the contractor who will consult with an independent bond agency.
Surety Bonds - A Historical Perspective
Surety bonds have been around since 2750 BC, when historian Herodotus told of contracts of suretyship. The year 670 BC marked the execution of the oldest surviving surety contract, a contract of financial guarantee.
While suretyship is an ancient practice, it wasn't until the latter part of the 19th century that the writing of surety bonds by corporations came into being. Since 1893, the U.S. Government has required contractors undertaking federal public work contracts to post surety bonds guaranteeing that they will perform such contracts and pay certain labor and material bills.
The federal law mandating surety bonds on federal public work is known as the Miller Act of 1935 (40 U.S.C. Section 270a-d). It requires performance and payment bonds for all excess of $100,000. Also, each of the 50 States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and almost all local jurisdictions have enacted legislation requiring surety bonds on public works. These are referred to as "Little Miller Acts."
The Contract Bond Process
Today's construction industry is more competitive than ever, and more contractors are interested in projects that require surety bonds guaranteeing their performance of the contract. Surety bonds are usually required of general contractors on public projects by federal, state or local government agencies. Many subcontractors also find that they are being asked to provide bonds, and an increasing number of private project owners are requiring bonds.
Simply stated, a surety bond is an agreement under which one party, the surety, guarantees to another, the owner or obligee, that a third party, the contractor or principal, will perform a contract in accordance with contract documents. In the case of a subcontract, the general contractor is the obligee, and the subcontractor is the principal. There are three types of contract surety bonds. The first, the bid bond, provides financial assurance that the bid has been submitted in good faith and that the contractor intends to enter into the contract at the price bid and provide the required performance and payment bonds.
The second, the performance bond, protects the obligee from financial loss should the contractor fail to perform the contract in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract documents.
The third kind of contract bond is the payment bond which guarantees that the contractor will pay certain subcontractor, labor and material bills associated with the project.
How to Get a Surety Bond
Since most companies that issue surety bonds work through agents and brokers, also called producers, your first step if you think you want to take on bonded work is to discuss your plans with one of these representatives. You will find that an agent who specializes in insurance and bonding for the construction industry will likely be best qualified to assist you.
The professional surety agent will guide you through the bonding process and assist you in establishing a business relationship with a surety company. Qualifying for bonds is more like obtaining bank credit than purchasing insurance. Like your bank, a surety company wants to know you well before committing its assets.
Most contractors find that it is necessary to spend a lot of time and effort establishing their first relationship with a surety company. Since the surety is guaranteeing your company's performance, it needs to gather and carefully analyze much information about you and your firm before it will agree to provide bonds.
The surety underwriting process is focused on prequalifying the contractor. It takes time - sometimes a lot of time - to develop and present data, address questions the surety may have, and verify information.
Before issuing a bond, the surety must be fully satisfied that the contractor is of good character, had the experience that matches the requirements of the projects to be undertaken, and has, or can obtain, the equipment necessary to perform the work.
The surety also wants to make sure the contractor has the financial strength to support the desired work program, and has a history of paying subcontractors and suppliers promptly. It will want to see that the contractor is in good standing with a bank and has established a line of credit.
In short, the surety wants to be satisfied that the contractor is a well-managed, profitable enterprise who keeps promises, deals fairly and performs obligations in a timely manner.
It is important to realize that each surety company has its own underwriting standards and requirements. But there are fundamentals that are common to underwriting surety bonds, and understanding these fundamentals is helpful to a contractor seeking surety bonds for the first time.
If you understand what's involved in getting bonds, you can weigh the time and expense of obtaining surety bonds against the benefits of being able to take bonded projects. Your decision to seek surety bonds should be based on long-term considerations. To obtain bonds, even some changes in the way your firm does business may be necessary and these changes could have certain costs.
The Contract Bond Process Here's What You Need
Let's take a look at the kind of information you may need to provide to your surety agent in order to prepare your case for bonds:
An organization chart that shows your key employees and their responsibilities;
Detailed resumes of yourself and your key people;
A business plan outlining the type of work you do, how you obtain your jobs, the geographic area in which you operate, and your growth and profit objectives;
A description of some of your largest completed jobs, including the name and address of the owner, the contract price, the date completed and the gross profit earned;
A plan outlining how the business will continue in the event of your death or disablement, or that of another key employee (your surety agent may suggest that your plan include life insurance on key people, with your company named as beneficiary);
Subcontractor and supplier references including names! addresses and telephone numbers of persons to contact (the surety will probably also order an independent credit report on your firm);
Evidence of a line of credit at your bank (sureties generally are looking for an unsecured line of credit that can be used when needed to meet short-term cash requirements; an additional secured line of credit obtained through the long-term financing of equipment or real estate may help to strengthen your case); and
Letters of recommendation from owners, architects and engineers.

Nepal king says handing power to the people
By Gopal Sharma
KATHMANDU (Reuters) – Nepal's King Gyanendra, facing
sweeping anti-monarchy protests, said on Friday he was handing
over political power to the people and asked a seven-party
alliance to choose a new prime minister.
There was no immediate reaction from the parties which have
spearheaded more than two weeks of violent protests to force
the restoration of democracy.
But the king appeared to rule out any change of the
constitution to curb his powers, which has been one of their
"Executive power of the kingdom of Nepal, which was in our
safekeeping, shall from this day be returned to the people," he
said in an address to the nation in the Nepali language.
"We ask the seven-party alliance to recommend the name for
the post of prime minister at the earliest for the constitution
of a council of ministers, which will bear the responsibility
of governing the country in accordance with the constitution."
Looking serious and dressed in a Nepali cap and black
jacket, Gyanendra said he was making the move "in keeping with
the tradition of the Shah dynasty to reign in accordance with
the popular will, in the greater interest of the nation and the
people, and our unflinching commitment toward constitutional
monarchy and multi-party democracy."
The reactions of local residents were mixed.
"The king has given all he can," said Bobby Singh, a pilot
with Royal Nepal Airlines. "Now the ball is in the seven-party
alliance's court."
Prominent women's rights activist Prabha Thakar said: "It's
the best news in a while. It's not the be-all and end-all, but
at this point in time, I think there is definitely a light at
the end of the tunnel."
The constitution issue was troubling, said Uttam Ghimire, a
teacher. "I don't think the seven political parties will agree
with him because their main demand is a constituent assembly
and he has not addressed this demand."
At least 12 people have been killed and hundreds wounded in
the pro-democracy campaign, which was launched on April 6.
On Friday, protesters burned tires and threw logs and
barbed wire across the streets of the capital, Kathmandu, as a
curfew imposed to prevent a march on the palace came into
Black smoke rose from several places in the city of 1.5
million people as protesters, angry at the king's sacking of
the government last year, tried to block movement of police and
Protesters burned a government revenue office on the
outskirts of the capital and fought street battles with police
elsewhere in the city. There was no word of serious casualties.
The curfew in Kathmandu began at 9 a.m. (0315 GMT) and was
to continue until midnight (1815 GMT), but was only being
enforced within the city limits. On the ring road outside, tens
of thousands marched, waved party flags and chanted slogans
demanding the king leave the country.
Riot police, troops with automatic weapons and armored cars
stood at major intersections to bar protesters planning to
march on the palace.
On Thursday, police opened fired on tens of thousands of
demonstrators trying to enter the city. At least three people
were killed and up to 100 injured.
Gyanendra sacked the government and took full powers in
February 2005, vowing to crush a decade-old Maoist revolt in
which more than 13,000 people have died.
U.S. ambassador James Moriarty, speaking to Reuters
Television just two hours before the address, said the king had
no choice but to relent to the parties' demands.
"If he doesn't do that, I think the monarchy will not last
and … we are going to see a revolution inside Nepal.
"It would mean wider chaos and it would mean a good chance
for the Maoist insurgents to take over this country."
The rebels have a loose alliance with the political parties
and have vowed to join the mainstream if there is a
representative government in Kathmandu.

Re: Adler Barbour CU-100 short cycling
Sigh; " I called for a service technician to look at it and he said he's not sure why it is short cycling, but said a new compressor is the fix. " = CALL SOMEONE THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING!
sorry.. sometimes I have to yell.
Anyway; It's fairly new. No one should assume first, that it needs refrigerant. Short cycling could very well be power supply related. These little 12/24 volt compressors have a very, very sensitive volt, amp, resistance controller. (costs as much as a compressor even)
All power, connections, wire size, and battery power need to checked and scrutinized. 3-5 amps continuous is about the needs of such units.
Now, if it's still short cycling, it could just be the location of the the box thermostat or it's sensor. When it's running; you should hear normal gurgling sound in the plate or evaporator. If the whole plate gets cold and iced after running It's most likely ok with refrigerant.
You need to ask questions of techs you are thinking of giving the privilege of servicing your unit. "Are you familiar with 12/24 volt power supplied units?" Do you know how to handle refrigerant evac and replacement in very small units?" (only one answer; "weigh it in ounces" Do you know check out procedures of Danfoss controllers on 12 volt systems?"
IF,, and I stress IF.. it does need refrigerant (newer, most likely is. 134-A) "Top it off" is a dumass procedure based on hope rather then knowledge (yes we all do it,
) Most systems I've been seeing and reading about, only hold a few ounces. NOT pounds! like domestic refrigerators, when was the last time that needed gas?
Hope this helps!

Kratz goes yard twice for Royals after knee discomfort sidelines Perez
MINNEAPOLIS -- The joy from taking three out of four games from Minnesota and winning their eighth straight series was tainted a bit for the Royals over concern for their All-Star catcher, Sal Perez. Perez left Monday's game -- a 6-4 win by the Royals -- because of discomfort in his right knee. Manager Ned Yost said afterward that Perez injured his patellar tendon as he came to a...

Cathedral's Tyler Gaffney comes up Roses
"I knew the caliber of back he could be," Stanford offensive coordinator Mike Bloomgren said. "I'm not sure I believed we could give him this many touches, but the fact is, he just earned it. He had an unbelievable year. Couldn't afford not to give him the ball."
While he benefits from one of the country's top offensive lines, Gaffney has bottled the essence of Stanford's punishing modus operandi in his 220-pound frame, averaging more than 28 carries over his last seven games. In a Nov. 7 win against Oregon, he squashed the Ducks' national title hopes with a school-record 45 carries for 157 yards and a touchdown.
"You like blocking for guys that make you look good," fullback Ryan Hewitt said, "and he's one of those type of players."
Given Stanford's pro-style system, Gaffney projects to fit more than a few NFL offenses. Stanford coach David Shaw compares Gaffney to Minnesota Vikings running back Toby Gerhart, a former Cardinal who also faced a choice between football and baseball.
Yet the path for 2014 remains unclear. Regarding his professional ambitions, Gaffney, who is finishing degrees in sociology and psychology, has proven difficult to read.
"What about baseball?" Gaffney, whose rights belong to the Pirates for five years, said with a smile. "I've heard that question far too many times."
Said Doyle: "I think his thing is just see where life takes him. It was very similar when he was with us. We would talk a lot about his recruiting, but he didn't want that to be a story. He wanted it to be about being a Don. And I'm sure that's the way it is now."
There is another question oft repeated to Gaffney, asking "if this was the right decision coming back."
"I'm in the Rose Bowl with the Stanford Cardinal, with my brothers," Gaffney said. "I think it's pretty obvious that this was the right decision."

The Nile River
April 2, 2003
This image of the northern portion of the Nile River was captured by MISR's nadir camera on January 30, 2001 (Terra orbit 5956). The Nile is the longest river in the world, extending for about 6700 kilometers from its headwaters in the highlands of eastern Africa. At the apex of the fertile Nile River Delta is the Egyptian capital city of Cairo. To the west are the Great Pyramids of Giza. North of here the Nile branches into two distributaries, the Rosetta to the west and the Damietta to the east. Also visible in this image is the Suez Canal, a shipping waterway connecting Port Said on the Mediterranean Sea with the Gulf of Suez. The Gulf is an arm of the Red Sea, and is located on the righthand side of the picture.

Does VGA to DVI ever work?

Posted February 15, 2011 at 12:06PM
I was given a Hazro 27" monitor by a programmer friend to use as an additionional screen with my laptop.
I've spent weeks now trying to get it recognise the output from the laptop with no joy. Tried the DVI-D cable that came with it first - then realised that this wouldn't work because the laptop (Toshiba Satellite) has a VGA port (doesn't even have a HDMI port - so a bit basic even though only bought it a year ago?). Using an adapter didn't help so I guessed the Laptop output was ananlog (no good for DVI-D).
Also tried a DVI-A to VGA cable - no joy. Then tried DVI-I to DVI-I with adaptor - no luck.
Am I right in assuming that the monitor is purely DVi-D and would never recognise a signal from a standard VGA ported laptop or pc?
So basically I need to give the monitor back to my friend or buy a very expensive pc to match the monitor?
Your honest advice would be very much appreciated.
Many Thanks

I've never seen a monitor that has only a DVI port, but if this is the case then the only way you will get it to work is if the signal is actually CONVERTED to digital. A simple DVI - VGA adapter would not suffice - these are designed to be used with graphics card that can output both a digital or VGA signal from a single DVI port.
I've never seen a device that would convert the signal, but that's not to say that they don't exist.

It may be a silly question but did you select the Monitor using the fn + I think the F5.

LONDON A U.S. Air Force Pave Hawk helicopter crashed in the coastal marshes of eastern England during a training mission on Tuesday night, killing all four crew members aboard, officials said.
One of those killed was 28-year-old Captain Christopher Stover, of Vancouver, Wash. according to a Royal Air Force statement.
The report identified the other crew members as Captain Sean Ruane, Technical Sergeant Dale Mathews and Staff Sergeant Afton Ponce.
The helicopter crashed at about 6 p.m. local time near Salthouse on the Norfolk coast, a statement from the U.S. Air Force said. The aircraft was based at the nearby Royal Air Force station in Lakenheath, Suffolk County, which hosts USAF units and personnel.
The helicopter, assigned to the 48th Fighter Wing, was flying low at the time of the crash, the statement added.
In Washington, a U.S. defense official said the accident killed the four U.S. Air Force crew members aboard. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the crash publicly.
Local police in Norfolk County also said they believed all four crew had died. A statement said family members would be notified before details about the victims can be released.
Emergency workers from the fire brigade, coast guard and police are at the scene. Police in Norfolk County said they believe there is ammunition onboard the helicopter, and the scene was cordoned off so that experts could ensure the area is safe. Apart from the crew, nobody was put in any danger, police said.
It is not yet known what caused the accident.
Pave Hawks a modified version of the better-known Black Hawks are mostly used for combat search and rescue missions, mainly to recover downed air crew members or other personnel during war and other hostile situations. They typically practice flying low and fast, often at altitudes of hundreds, rather than thousands, of feet.
Pave Hawks have been deployed in numerous missions, including to Japan in the wake of the tsunami in 2011 and to southern U.S. after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. They also support military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.

HoopsHype Ronnie Lester rumors
Jackson maintained a healthy distance from the various personnel men he worked with during his two stints with the Lakers, which is why there are no L.A. execs of recent vintage who strike you as an instant nominee. Ex-Lakers official and current Suns scout Ronnie Lester has been mentioned, but Lester and Jackson don't have anything resembling the sort of bond that the Zen Master has with the likes of Kurt Rambis, Scottie Pippen, Ron Harper and the still-active Derek Fisher. The reality, though, is that those four Phil disciples don't possess the sort of experience and/or proven front-office versatility that Jackson could surely use to lean on. ESPN.com
The Phoenix Suns today announced a series of moves within the team's basketball operations department. Pat Connelly has been named to the role of Assistant General Manager and Trevor Bukstein has been promoted to Assistant General Manager. Ronnie Lester has been named a scout and Emilio Kovacic has been named International Scouting Consultant. John Treloar will remain the team's Director of Player Personnel; John Shumate and Bubba Burrage remain scouts. NBA.com
Babby would like for the Suns to tab a new GM before addressing the coaching situation, although he did call interim head coach Lindsey Hunter "a good strong candidate." The GM search began this week with the Suns considering Milwaukee assistant GM Jeff Weltman (a finalist in 2010 when Blanks was hired), former Indiana Pacers GM and Arizona graduate David Morway and former Lakers assistant GM Ronnie Lester. Assistant GMs Ryan McDonough (Boston), Wes Wilcox (Atlanta) and Troy Weaver (Oklahoma City) are potential candidates too. Arizona Republic
Indiana Pacers General Manager David Morway, former Lakers assistant general manager Ronnie Lester, Golden State Warriors assistant general manger Travis Schlenk, Detroit Pistons assistant general manager Scott Perry and former Minnesota Timberwolves assistant general manager Tony Ronzone all have been viewed as good candidates if the Clippers decided to look their way, the executives said. Los Angeles Times
Note that I did not include the Lakers in the list of five organizations that could be headed for turmoil. According to a person directly involved in the Lakers' decision-making, speculation that GM Mitch Kupchak is on the way out is premature. Privately, Kupchak is said to be seething over the Lakers' decision to unceremoniously dismiss assistant GM Ronnie Lester and nearly all the scouts who worked under him. But there have been no indications that Kupchak, a shrewd architect of the Lakers' run of championship success, is angling for a departure. CBSSports.com
In a lockout-shortened season, the Lakers will be short-handed in their front office. The team won't fill the spot vacated by former assistant general manager Ronnie Lester, whose contract expired in July. Lester was integral in evaluating college players and was a solid sounding board for General Manager Mitch Kupchak. The Lakers are also cutting back their scouting department after employing six scouts in July. The team will use a three-man staff partly made up of Jerry West's son Ryan and owner Jerry Buss' son Jesse. Los Angeles Times
Ronnie Lester, the team's longtime assistant GM groomed by Jerry West, had his say after being laid off back in the summer. Recently, it's been former assistant coach Brian Shaw who has opened up about Jim's eagerness to distance the team from the highly successful era of coach Phil Jackson. Clever and coy in dealing with Jim while dating sister Jeanie Buss over the past decade, Jackson upon stepping down last spring finally fired several shots at Jimmy boy. Jackson had long indicated he had no relationship with Jim Buss and not much of one with Jerry, while insiders in the Lakers organization said Jackson obviously had no respect for Jim. Jackson has long been known as a tough political player from his stormy days with the Bulls, but you could hardly blame him for not wanting to kiss up to Jim. HoopsHype
Jackson's friends had long pointed out behind the scenes that Jim was the driving factor in Jackson's 2004 dismissal as Lakers coach and it was Jim who moved unilaterally to make the disastrous Rudy Tomjanovich hire that cost the team millions. "The Lakers will be a disaster when Phil leaves the franchise," one of Jackson's associates predicted a few years back. "Jim's biggest move is to put his personal bartender on the team payroll. Jim never comes around the franchise, doesn't even have an office there." HoopsHype
One week after hearing that message, Shaw received a visit from Kupchak. Shaw said he did most of the talking in order to emphasize that he wasn't questioning the Lakers' decision to hire Brown, and to let Kupchak know that Shaw had been trying to protect the organization by not publicizing the Lakers' neglect of him. "Personally, I don't have anything against Mitch, and he apologized for how everything was handled," Shaw said. "I made it very clear that I was not very happy with the way that I was handled, especially having to shield all of the requests for interviews because I didn't want it to come off the wrong way. I know Ronnie Lester, when he did an interview he kind of blasted the [organization] -- there's a whole lot of stuff that a whole lot of people wanted to say, and Ronnie said some stuff that needed to be said. But at that time, because it was still so new and so raw, if I would have got started [talking publicly], it probably would have been bad." SI.com
Some were told their contracts would not be renewed and some were laid off. All told, about 20 Lakers employees are, or soon will be, looking for jobs, including some of Phil Jackson's former coaching staff. It was the manner in which they were let go by one of the most successful and profitable franchises in the NBA that bothered Lester. "You think of the Lakers and you think they are a great organization," Lester said. "But if you work inside the organization, it's only a perception of being a great organization. It's probably not a great organization, because great organizations don't treat their personnel like they've done." Los Angeles Times
Lester said Jim Buss, the vice president of player personnel and son of owner Jerry Buss, and his siblings are making more decisions and have increased roles. Lester said Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak wants him to return, but there is resistance inside the organization. "Mitch wants to bring me back, but he can't get the Busses [Jerry and Jim] to agree to bring me back," Lester said. Los Angeles Times
Lester was asked whether it was true that Jim Buss has taken Jackson's former office, which would imply that Buss will be around more. "Jim Buss is not around much," Lester said. "The only time he is here consistently is a week or two before the draft." Los Angeles Times
Other Lakers employees who will be unemployed at end of the month include scouts Irving Thomas (10 years with the team), Adam Filippi (10 years), Gary Boyson (six), Gene Tormohlen (43) and Kevin Grevey (10). "They've done a great job for us and it's just sad that the organization is letting people go without communicating with these people during the course of the [lockout] situation," Lester said. "It affects people's lives. Not only those scouts, but they have families too and it affects their lives. That's what is so depressing about it, so sad about it." Los Angeles Times
He was on his way to a storage unit when I called. That's the only destination in front of him that's certain at the moment. The storage unit, then Chicago at the end of the summer. Maybe. This hasn't been a good year so far. Already he's lost his job, gotten divorced and sold his house. The team he helped assemble underachieved and got swept out of the second round of the playoffs. And yet the Los Angeles Lakers assistant general manager Ronnie Lester considers himself one of the lucky ones. ESPN.com
Barring a last-minute change of heart, Lester's 24-year run with the Lakers will end when his contract expires this month. By then, at least 20 other Lakers staffers, including almost all of the scouts who work under Lester in the basketball operations department, will have already packed their belongings and headed home. They've been told little by the team, except employees whose contracts expire on or after June 30 would not have their contracts renewed, and their jobs may or may not open up again down the line. "I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about the other people on our staff that are really good and have young families and mortgages," Lester said. "I'll land on my feet, but those guys who aren't as established, I think they're in a little trouble." ESPN.com
It's still weird for him to speak about the Lakers in past tense. He's been a Laker nearly half of his 52 years. In another month he'll start figuring out what he'll be next. He's grateful to the Lakers for hiring him as a scout back in 1987 and everything that came after. But he's confused about why it's ending this way. "It's awful funny that the Lakers, one of the highest grossing teams in the league, could do this to their employees, just throw them out in the cold," he said. ESPN.com
Lester said he thinks something else is going on. "The Lakers have not done a good job in communicating that to anybody whose contract has ended," he said. "Obviously the Lakers don't want these guys back, don't want the scouts back, or they would've said something in that regard. "So I don't think anybody is coming back. They've not treated people well in that regard." ESPN.com
Lakers Assistant General Manager Ronnie Lester has sold his Manhattan Beach home for $1.65 million. The Mediterranean-style house, built in 2002, has a two-story-tall living room, a formal dining room and a family room that opens to the kitchen and back lawn. Including a guest suite and a master suite with a vaulted ceiling and a fireplace, the house has a total of five bedrooms and five bathrooms in the nearly 4,300 square feet. Los Angeles Times
The revolving door for the Los Angeles Lakers franchise is ready to start turning. On the same day Mike Brown agreed in principle to a four-year, $18.25 million deal to replace Phil Jackson as the next coach of the Lakers, multiple sources told ESPNLosAngeles.com that assistant general manager Ronnie Lester will not be brought back when his contract expires at the end of June. Lester just completed his 10th season as assistant GM, serving under general manager Mitch Kupchak. The 52-year-old Lester's relationship with the team spans more than 25 years dating back to the 1984-85 season when he signed as a free agent and played the final two seasons of his injury-shortened NBA career with the Lakers, winning a championship in 1985. ESPN.com
Roland Lazenby, author of "Jerry West: The Life And Legend Of A Basketball Icon," published by ESPN Books in 2009, first reported the Lester ouster via his Twitter account. Apart from Lester, the Lakers have also informed more than a dozen scouts, training staff members and video staff personnel that their contracts will not be renewed when they expire at the end of June as well, as first reported by the Los Angeles Times.

In my experience, chutes always look their steepest, narrowest, and scariest from above. So I'm caught off guard by the paralyzing fear that grips me when I'm standing nearly a quarter-mile away from La Parva's La Chiminea. The tributary cut from the Andean rock walls looks ominous. Catch an edge in there and you're toast. Are those tears pooling in the foam liner of my goggles? What is wrong with me?
It makes me wish I had my GoPro on right now, so I won't miss a word Guy Clarkson says about shooting and editing ski action footage. He's dropping tips and techniques faster than I can adequately process them, imparting his knowledge readily, efficiently, without reserve or condescension.
Everybody is staring at me. I can hardly blame them. It's not often you see a 36-year-old guy standing in the liftline wearing a snow-white speed suit that's so tight his kidneys are showing. Under the blaring sunshine here at Utah's Canyons Resort, I'm practically glowing.
Ski Team Fitness: Heavy Half Squats
SKI Team Drop Jumps Thumb
Conditioning for skiing has two benefits. The first is no surprise: The better shape you're in, the better you'll ski. But being fit also helps reduce your chance of injury. Here, Ernie Reimer, USSA's Strength and Conditioning Coach, and U.S. Ski Team athlete Kiley Staples take you through a step-by-step introduction to a workout with our favorite name: Romanian Dead Lifts. This exercise strengthens hamstrings, helping to reduce the chance for knee and ACL injuries.
One of the easiest ways to improve your skiing is to get fit for the ski season. Performance always suffers if you're fatigued. When you're strong, you'll ski better, and longer into the day. Front Squats are a key exercise for the U.S. Ski Team, as it strengthens quads and enhances core strength and stability. Ernie Reimer, USSA's Strength and Conditioning Coach, and alpine athlete Kiely Staples take you through a step-by-step introduction to Front Squats in the team's Center for Excellence in Park City, Utah. Front Squats are easy to do in most gyms, or at home with free weights.
Find a vantage point with a wide view of the entire slope you want to ski. Experienced skiers sometimes call this spot "the barbie" (see illustration below) a term that refers to the amount of time you should spend inspecting a line—at least enough to fire up a barbecue. I can see the entire face of Eduardo's from my barbie on the road.

Penguins top Rangers 3-0 to even series 1-1
PITTSBURGH (AP) — With their captain under fire and their season on the brink of collapse, the Pittsburgh Penguins responded with a crackling show of force.
Of course, having the New York Rangers look like a team only too happy to get back home with a split helped.
Kris Letang broke a scoreless tie in the second period, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 22 saves for his franchise-record seventh playoff shutout to lift the Penguins to a 3-0 victory on Sunday night, tying the second-round series one game apiece.
Letang's 15th career postseason goal matched Larry Murphy's record for Penguins defensemen. Jussi Jokinen scored during a third-period power play, and Evgeni Malkin added an empty-net goal for the Penguins, who pushed around the suddenly weary Rangers.
Fleury earned his 50th career playoff victory.
"I thought to a man our players were extremely good all night," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. "It was a huge win for us."
Game 3 is Monday night in New York.
Henrik Lundqvist made 32 saves for New York, but the Rangers mustered little offense while playing their fourth game in six days. Not that coach Alain Vigneault wanted to blame fatigue for a listless performance.
"Did my goaltender look tired? He was on top of his game," Vigneault said. "If he's not tired, nobody else should be."
The Rangers have lost eight straight Game 2s and have dropped 13 consecutive games when leading in a series.
They had their chances to jump ahead early, only to be let down again by an anemic power play.
Three times in the first 10 minutes a Penguins player skated to the penalty box, and three times the Rangers spent two minutes milling about as though they were killing time before getting back to even strength. The Rangers finished 0 for 4 with the man advantage and haven't scored the last 29 times they've had an extra skater on the ice.
"It could have given us some momentum, and we didn't finish," Vigneault said. "I've got to find the right trigger points here to make it work. We'll spend the night trying to figure it out."
Only Lundqvist seemed interested in sending the Rangers back to New York with a commanding 2-0 lead. He was typically brilliant, particularly when Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby was on the ice.
The NHL's leading scorer and Hart Trophy finalist is in the midst of a lengthy postseason scoring funk. He began the night without a goal in 12 straight playoff games, a span that included 327 shifts and 275 minutes of ice time.
Bylsma insisted early Sunday that he anticipated seeing Crosby at his "best" with the season possibly at stake. Though Crosby failed to score, it was the only thing he didn't do. For the first time in weeks, he looked like himself.
Relentless at both ends of the ice, the jump in his game that was missing at times during a listless performance in Game 1 returned.

In recent weeks, I've written about how the "Bootleggers and Baptists" dynamic corrupts regulatory politics. Bruce Yandle developed this concept decades ago. He observed that Prohibition became reality because Baptists wanted people to stop drinking while the ban on legal alcohol put money in the Bootlegger's pockets. The do-gooders succeeded only because the money-grubbers joined their effort.
It seems every day now some famous personality or former friend has passed away and at 68 it makes me think sometimes of my own mortality.
I recently highlighted an important book that describes how politics really works. "Bootleggers and Baptists: How Economic Forces and Moral Persuasion Interact to Shape Regulatory Politics," by Adam Smith and Bruce Yandle, showed that prohibition became reality because it appeared to satisfy both Baptists and Bootleggers.
Approximately 1,982 years ago, a man died. In fact, many men died that day. We know for sure of three men. Two were tied to crosses and crucified. One was nailed to the cross. Had that been the end of it, it would have just been like so many other Roman crucifixions. But, unbeknownst to most anyone at the time, the first Easter weekend would become the most important weekend in the history of the world.
It was a great week for Newton County! I am ecstatic to tell you that "Haleigh's Law," the medical cannabis oil bill, passed both the House and Senate and was signed by the Governor this week. Also my bill, "Kelsey's Law," passed unanimously in the Senate near midnight on the last night. I was also very excited that Newton County Representative Pam Dickerson's cyber-bullying law passed both the House and the Senate.
Dear Editor,
The headline to this story is an adage taught by journalism schools throughout the country. News is supposed to be based on facts and reported without bias. But alas, reporters are human and have biases, acknowledged or not. If they are blatant and obvious, then we can dismiss them out of hand, (example: Chris Matthews saying, "I felt this thrill going up my leg," when listening to a speech given by then-presidential candidate Barack Obama).
The death of Leonard Nimoy saddened millions of Trekkies around the world (including me). But it wasn't just Trekkies who mourned. In the past month, it has become clear that Mr. Spock - the character Nimoy brought to life - had become a cultural icon extending far beyond the Trek universe.
Our normally chaotic household of five has been reduced to a family of three this week. It has been so very odd, and so unusually quiet, with Eli in Florida with his grandparents and Zach away at camp. Poor little Jonah keeps toddling around, asking for his "Zzzat" and "E-la-la" and I know he must be wondering where the heck they vanished to. Of course, not even two yet, he doesn't understand their absence.
Over the years I often heard my father say that a newspaper was such a resilient business that it would never falter even if he had a monkey as publisher.
Whether you are the farmer or a parent driving your child to Little League ball games, the rising cost of fuel is having an impact on your life and pocketbook.
This year marks a half-century for me in the newspaper business.
"Hope I die before I get old."
It should have been a simple evening based on a casual suggestion that six of us go out to dinner on a Wednesday night. But it turned out to be anything but simple.
I had the occasion not long ago to read Daniel Pink's "A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future" (Penguin Books, 2005) and Tony Wagner's "The Global Achievement Gap" (Basic Books, 2008). What follows are Pink's thesis, Wagner's compliment, and implications for K-12 education.
Donna and I have been without a washer and dryer in the house almost eight months, now.
Two of my favorite school teachers, grandson Nicholas Wansley and Mandy Bragg, were married last week. It was a beautiful and moving ceremony. I pray their marriage will be as happy as they, their families and friends were on that special day.
Maybe it's a general character flaw shared by many, but I hate to get rid of a cherished old car, no matter how much trouble it causes me.
It has been 27 years since he passed away and not a day goes by that I don't miss him terribly, especially on Father's Day.

The touching and, perhaps, true story regarding the origination of Father's Day celebrations in America goes back to the little town of Fairmont, W.Va. There, at the behest of a Mrs. Grace Golden, a ceremony was held on July 5, 1908 honoring some 210 fathers who had been tragically lost in the Monongah Mining Disaster of December 6, 1907.
2011 will be known as "the year agriculture went out in Georgia."
Ah, Summer!

Great, but not want I thought.
These are great gloves, but not what I thought. I tried on some in a local store and loved them, but they didn't have my size. So I ordered the black ones online. What came had the same outer shell I had seen in the store, but the liner was different. In the store, the liner had a special "fingerprint pad" on the index finger and thumb that let me use my iPhone touchscreen without taking the liner off. Cool, huh? But what came had standard stretch liners with a sticky grip on the palm side. Still nice gloves, but not what I thought I ordered, and did not work with the iPhone screen. The name Burton Pinnacle Gortex were all the same as the model in the store, there was nothing to indicate they were different.
To Dogfunk's credit, I returned them with no hassles. And if you don't use an iPod or iPhone, what they sent were great gloves. Just be aware there are two kinds of Burton Pinnacle Gortex out there. If they don't go out of their way to say "works with iPad" then the liners probably don't.
Toasty tips this season
Once again Burton does not let me down. These things are keeping me warm on and off the mountain. Love the "B" forever.
steezus christ
does anybody know if these things hold up...
does anybody know if these things hold up to a tow rope well? i dont like those damn protectors and all the parks in michigan are tow rope. if these dont hold up well, what ones do?
Pretty nice gloves but would expect more for the price.
These gloves look pretty nice, are comfy and the sleeves can be tightened down easily. They come with paste to rub into the leather and seems to water proof it, that requires 24 hours to cure. I was not surgical with the application which resulted in discoloration in any non-leather areas of the glove. (especially around seems where the fabric meets leather) The smell from the waterproofing paste is pretty strong, and even after 2 months of use I feel like I cant touch my face or I'll have the smell in my nose for hours.
For the price I would expect these gloves to be a lot better. I've had several pairs of Burton gloves from mid/high price range and these are by far the best, but still leave wanting for something better.
The gloves come with a liner for use in extra cold weather but you might want to size up if you plan to use the liner. While I've plenty of room in in the gloves without the liner, with the liner my curculation was poor resulting in my hands getting really really cold.
So far these gloves have kept my hands warm (coldest use 18F) and dry. Not tested in deep powder or rain yet but I expect they will perform ok.
While I'm not about to trash these gloves and get some others, I would not recommend them.
Great gloves
I have the under glove version of these that I picked up at a burton sample sale late last season. These seem to fit a bit larger than some other gloves (usually a M, but the L fit me in these). If you're on the fence I would go with the larger size. These have always kept my digits warm and dry. I've never really had to think about these gloves and to me that means they're doing their job well. Now, perhaps I got a pre-production version of these gloves, or perhaps someone swiped the liner, but there isn't a removable liner in mine, just a nice fixed microfiber one. Also I didn't see anything about these gloves using outlast nor do I see a zippered pocket...I think backcoutry might have their description a bit off. Great gloves though.
Nit pick: I did notice some wear on the leather already.

Wrestling in his third different weight class in three years, Wyoming Area's Andy Schutz just did what he does best come this time of the year – win.
The junior grappler ran his District 2 record to 9-0 as he won a 10-4 decision over Meyers' Jeff Nealon to capture the 132-pound championship at the D2 Class 2A Tournament at Lake-Lehman High School on Saturday night. The victory gave Schutz his third straight District 2 gold medal. He won the 125-pound title as a sophomore and the 119-pound crown as a freshman.
"It's the third one and it never gets easier. Today's match felt like an absolute brawl," Schutz told the Times Leader. "It feels really good to get the win though. I've been training really hard and I'm going to be training ever harder to try my best to get a fourth. That's a goal of mine and I really want to try and get after that next year, but, for now I'm going to focus on regionals."
With the win, Schutz (93-13 overall, 27-7 season) entered this weekend's PIAA Class 2A Northeast Regional at Williamsport High School as the second seed in the 132-pound bracket.
All season, first-year Wyoming Area wrestling coach Steve Mytych boasted about his Warriors and the talent they possessed.
On Saturday, the Warriors backed up his words.
Wyoming Area took home five medals, finished sixth over all as a team, and qualified two wrestlers – Andy Schutz and Carmen Mauriello – for the Northeast Regional Tournament.
Coming into the 120-pound tournament, Wyoming Area's Carmen Mauriello had posted a non-descript 13-13 record after his second season on the mat for the Warriors.
But the junior racked up four wins at the District 2 Class 2A championships and captured his first medal – a bronze – to give Wyoming Area a second qualifier at the PIAA Northeast Regional this weekend.
Mauriello (17-14) won two bouts to get to the championship semifinals before being sent to the consolation bracket in a tough technical fall loss to eventual silver medalist Justin Elick of Meyers on Saturday night at Lake-Lehman.
However Mauriello rebounded nicely, taking a 4-3 decision from Eric Young of Dallas in the consolation semifinals before beating Scranton Prep senior Pat Creedon for the second time in the tournament – this time a 6-1 decision – in the third-place match.
The win earned Mauriello the fifth seed at the regional event.
Wyoming Area heavyweight Carl Zielinski put himself in position to join Schutz and Mauriello at the Northeast Regionals on Saturday afternoon after winning his consolation semifinal. But the Warriors junior had his fortunes reversed in a rematch with Western Wayne's Joseph Ingaglio in the third-place bout.
Ingaglio – who Zielinski had beaten 10-7 in Friday night's championship quarterfinals – edged Wyoming Area's 285-pounder in a 2-0 decision to earn the bronze medal and a trip to Williamsport.
Zielinski (13-13) was knocked into the consolation bracket by eventual silver-medalist Ben Lehman of Lackawanna Trail in a 4-1 decision in the championship semis. But he rebounded with a pin of Scranton Prep's Nick Stahl in 24 seconds to gain a spot in the third-place match.
Ryan Filipiak entered his first District 2 wrestling tournament as somewhat of an unknown. The Wyoming Area senior posted just an 8-10 record entering the 145-pound bracket of the Class 2A tournament at Lake-Lehman last weekend.
But Filipiak made his name known with a solid two days of wrestling and entered his name in the WA history books in his only season of varsity wrestling by earning a fourth-place medal after winning four matches at this year's event.
Filipiak did lose two bouts, but both were to Elk Lake's Derrick Smith. Smith knocked Filipiak into the consolation bracket with a 2-1 decision in the championship quarterfinals and then pinned the Warriors grappler in the bronze-medal bout in 4:18.
But in between, Filipiak won three consolation bouts, including a 7-2 decision over Nanticoke's Klayton Krasprzyk in the consolation quarters, and a sudden victory pin of Trail's Victor Rosa in 5:04 in the championship semis. Rosa went on to win a fifth-place medal.
A rough regular-season didn't stop Wyoming Area' Steve Barush from putting his best foot forward at the District 2 Class 2A Championships last weekend at Lake-Lehman.
Barush lost to just one wrestler – fourth-place finisher Matt Judge of Valley View – at the two-day event, and won three bouts on his way to earning a fifth-place medal for the Warriors.
The junior 126-pounder lost to Judge in the preliminaries, 6-3, on Friday, and again on Saturday in the consolation semis, 2-1. But between those two losses, Barush defeated Jordan Visneski of Dallas on Friday, and then won a 2-0 decision over Gary Parks of Montrose in the consolation quarterfinals.
In the fifth-place bout, Barush won by disqualification over Troy Maby of Blue Ridge.
Nick Hromek lost his two bouts at last week's championships, but the freshman lost to two medal winners.
Hromek was knocked into the consolation bracket by eventual 106-pound champion Dominic DeGraba of Dallas, and was eliminated in the consolation quarterfinals by fifth-place medal winner Michael Canaveri of Valley View.
Shawn Whiting also was knocked off by two medal winners.
Whiting, Wyoming Area's 195-pound junior, was knocked into the consolation bracket by eventual bronze medalist Ryan Monk of Dallas, and eliminated by eventual fourth-place finisher Curtis Barbacci of Lake-Lehman in the consolation quarterfinals.
And the same happened to Nick Mazzone.
Mazzone lost to eventual 152-pound bronze medalist Beau Fuller of Western Wayne in the championship quarterfinals before being eliminated in a 4-2 decision by Maurice Wood of Nanticoke who finished fourth.
Times Leader reporter Dave Rosengrant contributed to this article.

DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- Ford vehicles including the all-new 2013 Fusion are increasingly equipped with sensors that assist drivers with increased awareness
- Sensor fusion, machine learning, and "big data" among the predictions for the next wave of Ford research and development
State-of-the-art sensing, computing and communications systems are not only quickly changing consumer expectations in people's everyday lives, but are driving innovation in the automotive industry at an incredible pace in preparation for the future.
"Ford was founded on the innovative spirit of Henry Ford, and the opportunity today to reinvent the driving experience excites us just as it probably would have him," said Paul Mascarenas, vice president and chief technical officer of Ford. "Technology is enabling Ford to bring a new level of awareness and intelligence that will dramatically enhance our customers' time behind the wheel."
As CTO, Mascarenas has been leading the team researching and developing new technologies for Ford vehicles, particularly in the area of driver assistance and mobile device connectivity."The new Fusion sedan demonstrates how we're making the car smarter using attainable and affordable technology and thus helping create a better driver," continues Mascarenas. "Fusion features an unprecedented level of sensors for its driver assist technologies, machine learning techniques to deliver more electric-only driving on the hybrids, and innovative graphical interfaces to help coach drivers to be as fuel efficient as possible." With more than 145 actuators, 4716 signals, and 74 sensors including radar, sonar, cameras, accelerometers, temperature and even rain sensors, the 2013 Fusion can monitor the perimeter around the car and see into places that are not readily visible from the driver's seat. These sensors produce more than 25 gigabytes of data per hour which is analyzed by more than 70 on-board computers. The actuators combined with signal information from the driver assist sensors can alert the driver to potential dangers, and actively assist with parking and lane keeping.
