Alumni spotlight: Amy E. Anderson
Amy E. Anderson, MSI '06
Information Scientist, Procter & Gamble
Amy found that the School of Information provided the right mix to launch her new career.
"I think that entering this field requires a high comfort level with change and uncertainty. If you find that exciting, then UMSI is probably a good place for you," she says.
Before coming to UMSI
Amy graduated from Northwestern University with a major in history and a minor in sociology.
"I worked for a short time in marketing, but I found that I enjoyed working as a bookseller more. I wanted to take what I enjoyed about working as a bookseller (problem solving, service, learning) and turn it into a career. I was also excited to learn more about technology and how it is changing the way that we interact with information. I thought [UM]SI would be an excellent place to combine the traditional skills of librarianship with HCI," she says.
Adding experience while at UMSI
UMSI students, like Amy, often pick up valuable experience through involvement in student or community organizations. She was treasurer of the student chapter of the Special Libraries Association, was a supervisor at the Stephen M. Ross Business School library, and she taught undergraduates as a graduate student instructor in the Department of Communications. In addition, she sharpened her skills through class projects and by working with other University departments on information-related programs.
Amy also held an internship at Procter & Gamble, which later was especially valuable when looking for full-time employment as an information scientist.
"All of the — sometimes painful — group work gave me a lot to talk about during my job interview, and I think that my employer was pleased to find someone with experience in both human-computer interaction and reference. In my internship, I found myself actually referring to what I learned in the foundations courses — even my least favorite one. Because I took SI 622, I was able to organize and lead user testing for the virtual library's redesigned website."
An advantage of a large university
Something Amy quickly discovered that the wide range of activities and academic programs at the University of Michigan were to her advantage.
"U-M has everything," she says. "There are far too many colloquia, guest speakers, and events for anyone to attend — even someone with fairly narrow interests. It was exciting to be here at the start of the Google Digitization project. U-M students somehow balance strong academics with a decent social life."

ENFIELD — The town of Enfield will take part in Wreaths Across America on Saturday, snow or no snow.
According to Kelly Davis, the volunteer location coordinator, the event will go as planned.
"The only change would be if the governor shuts down the state," Davis wrote in a Facebook post to the Enfield Wreaths Across America Facebook group. "If that happens, no ceremony, just blessing of the wreaths and volunteers place them - this is the protocol per Wreaths Across America."

Also, a simple sarong is IMO very easy to use as a back torso carrier. You can see that at mamatoto too.

Susan Boyle, 'Perfect Day' -- Video Premiere
Directed by Reed himself, the video was a way of showing support for the Scottish siren after his not-so-favorable reaction over her version of his trademark track in September. Reed says of the project, "I wanted to create a beautiful and intimate piece shot in Susan's native Scotland and she quickly agreed." And that's just what he did. Expect sweeping shots of lush forests and gorgeous sunrises.
Boyle's second album, 'The Gift,' is a seasonal collection of songs including Christmas classics like 'The First Noel' and 'O Holy Night'.' Boyle herself says the music is meant to "touch hearts." "Music has always been a companion to me, particularly on special occaisons" Boyle explains. "I wanted there to be a mix of songs that would flow with all our moods this holiday season. As much as the season is a time for reflection, it is also a time for fun and enjoyment with those closest to us."

I don't care much for the song either, but the scenery is stunning and I'd listen to Susan sing the phone book!!

Susan is so very blessed by God... and We get to hear her beautiful gift. Wow amazing,!!

I am buying this CD. It has all sorts of beautiful Christmas carols on it too. I don't know a better singer and kind soul than Susan Boyle.
- Sunday 07 November
She's looking good and sings as beautiful as she did the first day the world her sing. But I sense a little too much Enya style orchestration making her voice seem secondary with too many distant scenery camera shots. And not enough close ups of Susan with some clever video editing. Hopefully Susan's next vid will be a knock-out!

I just listened to the video and it very beautiful,she is a natural and gifted by God.I will be buying the viedo!!

I actually prefer hearing Lou Reed singing this song, plain and simply put.
- Sunday 07 NovemberBy mark
I love Susan Boyle, her voice and the melody of the song. The video was stunning but the lyrics of the song are so trite that they do not match the beautiful melody or the scenery. This song would be absolutely beautiful if the lyrics were more beautiful. Geez, they went to the zoo and then to a movie. And that was the perfect day. And you keep me hanging on. A lot of people could have made better lyrics.
- Sunday 07 NovemberBy fjoe88
i so wanted the video to knock my socks off..... it was very disppointing.... first, the song had terrible lyrics.... the chorus was great but the rest of the song was endless.... as far as the video was concerned, they kept showing her in a darkened swamp and then a forest where i thought the hobbit would show up.... the rest of the video lacked any view that was inspirational.... i love susan but whoever is handling her is missing the mark.....

What an amazing voice. Susan is truly a gift to all of us.
- Monday 08 NovemberBy LionWoods
I love how human her voice sounds but this record's a bit cluttered and overproduced...wonder what Reed thinks of this.
- Sunday 07 NovemberBy Dee
Robert, In need of attention? Please enlighten us; what makes you such a music expert? Please do a video, lets hear you sing, Mr Expert. By the way, your spelling can use some help as well. Realy is spelled really.

Beautiful scenery and such a beatuful voice. She is beautiful.
- Sunday 07 November
I love you Susan Boyle. You are the Greatest.xoxoxo
- Sunday 07 November
When Susan sings she is able to bring out the full emotion of the words in a song then add to that her clear and beautiful voice and you have just experienced a magical moment. Down to two days before I finally get to hear her 2nd CD!! Susan you are beautiful and I am looking forward to many more videos and CDs from you. Thank you!

BOISE -- The head football coach of Kuna High School says a wide receiver struck in play during last night's game against Bishop Kelly is in the hospital experiencing paralysis.
Head Coach Lee Leslie says Boone Bartlome was awake and breathing when he was loaded into an ambulance last night.
Coach Leslie said that Boone injured his C-4 vertebrae and couldn't move his legs or arms. But today he reports that Boone does have some feeling in his arms and moved his toe.
He says that people should know Boone is an amazing student and the community support is appreciated.
A rally is planned at Kuna High on Monday at 3:30 p.m.
We'll update this story on air and online as new information becomes available.

I'm curious to know if their is any Virginia clubs? Primarily in the Southwest Region of Virginia (Roanoke, Montgomery County, etc.). If not I'm considering making my own. Given I know the demographics for modelers in my area is super low (to my knowledge) still worth a shot.

Setting up a duplicate (2nd) Printer
Likes # 0
Posted June 4, 2011 at 11:42AM
Could someone please advise me on how to set up a second printer, to the default one, in Windows 7? In XP I could add a second printer as a 'clone' of my first printer and adjust the actual print to 'draft' quality and use this to save ink. It appeared as a second actual printer which I named 'DRAFT'. Worked fine. In Windows 7 however, when I try to add another printer to my Canon MP620 wireless (or USB) machine, I discover I am unable to create a second/copy of the existing one, - and am therefore unable to create a 'draft' version of the existing default printer. Thanks. Ian

Am I right in thinking you want two printers? One for best work and the other for draft work. I have two printers on my computer
Printer No1 is a Cannon PI4700 which I use for quality work I.E. photographs and letters.
Printer No2 is a brother laser printer HL-2030 this I use for print-outs of emails and instructions or any draft type work. Printer No1 the Cannon is set to default on my tower and I have a laptop on homegroup and the No2 brother is the default printer. In all cases they were installed as you normaly would install a single printer without any problems.

Just load it as if it was the only printer you have got, then set the one you want to use most as Default. You can still choose the printer to print from in the program drop down under Printer Properties.

Posted June 4, 2011 at 8:55PM
PS you can even load the same printer that you have but only use one as default but both printers can have different Print Settings as Default, so you do not need to change them each time

Thanks, folks. Yes - I can set up 2 different separate printers no problem in Win7. I just have not discovered a way of setting up 2 versions of my MP620 - one as default with standard printing, and a second separate, identical version, but set up in draft mode - as I could very easily/simply do in WinXP. I realise I can change the print output each time I want to print something using the default printer, but it was very much easier just to click on the 'draft' printer drop-down option to get this output, in WinXP! Win7 does not appear to have this facility..... Progress??? Ian

Chub_Tor - what an ace! Your link above, to Dan's post was spot on. I now have 2 MP620 Printers, one as default/normal-print mode, and the second in draft mode. Perfect. Very many thanks. Ian

"I thought the paper quality was better than I expected. We're doing family style so I needed to adjust the wording on the RSVP. The turn-around for the edits was quick, and I was very pleased with the end result."
"These RSVPs are perfect and match so nice with the Togetherness In Love invites. Sturdy and beautiful and attractive design."
"I previously left a review on the invitation for this product. Wedding Paper Divas made the corrections and I must say its absolutely beautiful. I'm just so grateful to have it updated and received it in time. Great probably one of the best customer service. The invitations look just breath taking. For future brides please note this design looks beautiful on both the shimmer paper and textured. If you are doing shimmer please note there will be this streaked look allover. You should tell them to make it lighter and fainter. If not it WILL come out too strong and look dirty or as if the printer didn't print it correctly. I can't wait to hear what guests think of it."
"Love these! They came out exactly as imagined! I put the wrong registry on the RSVP and called weddingpaperdivas and they made a note to change it with no problem! We also had the back printed solid black instead of with stripes."

NEWARK, NJ - JANUARY 31: Anze Kopitar #11 of the Los Angeles Kings skates against the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center on January 31, 2010 in Newark, New Jersey. The Kings defeated the Devils 3-2. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
Anze Kopitar skated at the Los Angeles Kings' training complex Monday with a brace on his sprained right knee, reporting no problems in his comeback from the recent injury. The Kings' high-scoring center still is unlikely to play in the defending Stanley Cup champions' banner-raising season opener against Chicago on Saturday, but might not miss much more time. Kings coach Darryl Sutter was encouraged by Kopitar's post-practice return to the ice just nine days after getting hurt in a collision on the boards while playing for Mora IK in Sweden. Kopitar has been the Kings' leading scorer in each of the past five seasons. He was the NHL's top playoff scorer last summer with 20 points, tied with linemate Dustin Brown.

Burke attended Iowa State University where she studied marketing. Burke is a co-founder of Organization in-a-box, an organization that assisted in training several Douglas County School Parent Teacher Groups in 2011-2012. She is also the Regional Sales Manager for SumTotal Systems, Inc.. She is married to her husband Sean and the couple have two daughters. [1]
Burke is running against fellow challenger James Geddes for the District B seat on November 5, 2013.
As of August 30, 2013, Burke has not disclosed any campaign finance expenditures or contributions. [2]
Barbra Chase Burke has received an endorsement from Steven Boand, former Douglas County Commissioner and Castle Rock mayor.[3]
What's at stake?
Four seats, including that of the board president, are at stake. John Carson, the incumbent in District B, is not running for re-election. Burke and James Geddes are running for election to the seat. Carson, who was first elected to the board in 2005, is ineligible to run for another term because of Amendment 17 to the Colorado Constitution, which says that no "elected official of any...school district....shall serve more than two consecutive terms in office".
The District D race includes newcomers Judi Reynolds and Julie Keim running for the seat currently held by Carrie Mendoza. Incumbent Doug Benevento will face challenger Bill Hodges in the District E race. Ronda Scholting has filed with the Colorado Secretary of State to challenge for Meghann Silverthorn's seat in District G.
DougCo Parents Want Change
Audio editing controversy
In late September, Meghann Silverthorn accused challenger Ronda Scholting of selectively editing a September 13 interview between Silverthorn and local radio host Mike Rosen. The interview featured a discussion of the motivations behind efforts to replace current board members in the 2013 election. Rosen stated, "These are nice, well-meaning, naive soccer moms who can't distinguish between an individual teacher and the collective menace and intransigence of a teachers' union with its political power" and Silverthorn agreed with the statement. Scholting's ad includes Rosen saying, "You're up against mostly women. Nice, well-meaning, naive soccer moms," and audio of Silverthorn's agreement with Rosen. Scholting notes that her editing was comparable to techniques used by broadcast journalists while Silverthorn believes the ad does not truly represent her position on district policies.[4]
Rally outside district offices
A September 27 demonstration outside of the district's administrative offices featured 200 attendees marching in support of local teachers. Demonstrators held signs that supported teachers and opposed the board's reform efforts over the past four years. According to interviews with the Denver Post, attendees argued that teachers were frustrated by limited instructional time, new evaluations and the district's attitude toward instructional staff. District officials have countered these claims by citing internal surveys with teachers that revealed high morale and greater flexibility in the classroom.[5]
Involvement of community groups
Local groups have ramped up efforts to support incumbents and challengers in the 2013 election. DougCo Champions for Kids is a non-profit that is also registered as a part of Texas-based firm C3 Solutions. This organization supports the reform efforts of the current board through direct mail and door-to-door campaigning. DougCo Champions for Kids receives some funding from the Independence Institute, a Denver-based think tank that promotes free market principles. The C3 Solutions executive board features two officers who are affiliated with the institute. Another pro-board group is the Douglas County Education Alliance, which has been connected with an Arizona consultancy called DC-London founded by Republican adviser Sean Noble.[6]
Challengers in the 2013 race are supported by a non-profit called the Strong Schools Coalition and a political action committee (PAC) called Douglas County Parents. Strong Schools Coalition has received $4,000 in donations according to group president Lauren Mutton. The group states that it is self-funded with contributions from Taxpayers for Public Education used for legal fees associated with a lawsuit against the district's voucher program.[6]
Americans for Prosperity, "It's Working"
Board reform efforts
The board's reform efforts including a voucher program, dissolution of the teachers' union agreement and a pay-for-performance plan have become the focus of attention in the 2013 campaign. Strong Schools Coalition has led efforts to reverse some of these reforms and eliminate political involvement in board functions.[7] The state chapter of Americans for Prosperity ran ads in the region starting in August supporting the board's reform efforts while admonishing critics. [8]
Partisanship in board races
Though Colorado school boards are officially nonpartisan, Douglas County has drawn attention for the involvement of the local Republican Party in board elections. In the 2009 and 2011 elections, the Douglas County Republican Party endorsed the six current members and former member Dan Gerken.[9] The party has endorsed incumbents Doug Benevento and Meghann Silverthorn as well as challengers James Geddes and Judi Reynolds for the 2013 campaign.[10] Former District G candidate Nicholas Land criticized the board as too loyal to the Republican Party and wanted the board to represent the entire community regardless of partisan affiliation.[11] Former District D candidate Kevin Leung refused to interview with the Douglas County Republicans after starting his campaign. "I believe that local, non-partisan school board elections should not be drawn into party politics. Decisions and agendas should not become strongly influenced by party ideologies instead of serving the people and the children in our schools," said Leung.[12]

May 27, 2015
WINCHESTER, Tenn. (AP) -- Franklin County authorities say they have arrested two suspects in the beating death of a man near Cowan and are searching for two others.
WTVF-TV reported Franklin County officials announced Tuesday that four Coffee County men targeted 26-year-old Corey Matthews due to his affiliation with white supremacist organization Aryan Nations.
Investigators said at least one of the suspects is a member of another white supremacist organization called Aryan Brotherhood.
Matthews' body was found in a cornfield on March 24, hours after his family reported him missing.
Thirty-nine-year-old Todd Dalton and 26-year-old John Cory Lanier were arrested and are being held without bond. Authorities are still seeking 25-year-old Coty Keith Holmes and 46-year-old David Gordon Jenkins.
All four men were indicted on charges of first-degree murder and felony murder.

Re: Dog friendly pub
Allowing dogs where meals are served is not very common in the UK, to be honest. Eating outside is usually ok, but health & safety + food hygiene rules make taking dogs (other than guide-dogs) inside eating-places much more problematic.
There's a list of dog-friendly Gwynedd pubs here;
and on various other sites but none I can find in (or even particularly near) Dolgellau. :-(

How can I make it so it doesnt use the themes css automatically?¿ Help Please!
looking on the net I found a themeforest designer that says you can add this….but I dont know where to add it….Ive tried adding it to the main css file as well as the style 1 css file from my theme. Please any help?¿
.gfield, .gform_fields, .gfield_label{ list-style-type:none; list-style-image:none; border: none; background: none transparent; }
Try with !important
list-style-type:none !important; list-style-image:none !important; etc
Can you be more specific….what exactly should I put and where?¿ Sorry not very css wise!
Like IVOR says, just add a new CSS line on your field elements and put a !important after each attribute declaration just like IVOR did.
.gfield, .gform_fields, .gfield_label { list-style-type:none !important; list-style-image: none !important; border: none !important; background: none transparent !important; }

Tension is building within the administration police as the Public Service Commission for the fifth time avoided to promote them and interviewed more than 50 senior officers from the Kenya Police.
The officers from the rank of superintendent of police were yesterday interviewed by PSC for promotion hardly two weeks after another batch of their colleagues were promoted to senior ranks.
The PSC, however, has frozen all interviews for the promotion of senior administration police officers in similar positions for more than two years.
Administration police officers ,who by last year only had 40 officer in the rank of assistant Commissioner of Police compared to 200 in the Kenya Police service, now say that there is a deliberate move to frustrate their induction into the National Police Service.
" How come the Public Service Commission has been holding interviews and promoting officers from the Kenya Police Service but frozen all interviews and promotions for administration police when we are supposed to be in one force?.
The PSC has held five such promotional interviews for the Kenya Police but stopped APs from doing the same," one senior AP officer who sought anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue said.
The complaint comes as senior provincial administration officials have been undergoing accelerated paramilitary training since January this year at Emali and Manyani administration police training colleges.
The latest batch of 200 DCs and DOs currently undergoing paramilitary training in Manyani will graduate in two weeks time. The APs now claim that despite being divorced from provincial administration, the provincial administration officials continue to have control over them.
This they say is because the National Police Service Act which was assented to by President Mwai Kibaki last year has not been published by the Government Printer.
" We have been waiting for the publishing of the National Police Service Act by the Government Printer to take up on the roles of the administration police as prescribed by the constitution.
However, it appears that there is a deliberate move to delay the publication which will make AP semi autonomous and part of the larger police force," another senior AP officer said.
Efforts to get acting Provincial administration and Internal Security permanent secretary Mutea Iringo and administration police commandant Kinuthia Mbugua were futile because they were attending the the president's address in parliament.

BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) announced its Q4 2013 results Thursday following many weeks of speculation, controversy and wild swings in the stock price. Top line revenue was slightly below expectations, but the bottom line handily beat expectations, showing a profit of $0.18 versus Street expectations of a $0.32 loss. Adjusting for a one-time expense related to the CORE program, and backing out the tax rebate, the final figures come out to about break even for the quarter - something that most analysts were not expecting to happen until 2015, if at all.
Sales of the Z10 phone were in line with the higher end of expectations at 1,000,000 units for the 1 month period between the launch and the end of the quarter. Considering that the phone was only available in about 25% of BlackBerry's worldwide markets, that figure is not too shabby. Overall phone sales were 6,000,000 compared to 6,900,000 in the previous quarter. Some of the overall sales decline can probably be accounted for by expected seasonal variations. However, it remains clear that sales of the older BB7 series phones are facing stiff competition from Android phones at the lower priced end of the market.
A decline in the number of subscribers (from 79 million to 76 million) was expected, though the rate seems to be accelerating. According to BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins, the decline in subscriber base is expected to continue into Q1,2014, with a "single digit" decrease anticipated. BlackBerry has recently announced plans to open up its BES10 system to users of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Android phones. Presumably, that move will reverse the decline in the subscriber base if it succeeds in attracting other users to the more secure BES10 system.
Approximately 55% of the Z10 sales were made to users who were switching from other operating systems. This is a very strong indication that the Z10 sales are not solely a result of pent-up demand, and that the strong sales are not coming from the existing BlackBerry customer base. It also indicates that early Z10 sales are being driven by consumers rather than enterprises. The Q10 keyboard phone, which is very popular among BlackBerry subscribers, is due to launch later this month. This, along with sales to enterprises, should ensure that the BB10 sales are sustainable for the medium term.
Perhaps the most surprising number in the results was an increase in gross margins from 30.4% to 40.1% of revenue. Revenue per phone sold has increased from $237 to $272. If we assume that the BB7 revenue per phone is unchanged from the previous quarter, the revenue per phone for the BB10 comes to $448. This seems reasonable, considering a retail price of $600 and a retail mark-up of 33%. The table below compares the last two quarters.
Revenue (millions)

$ 2,727

Phones sold
Rev per phone
$ 272
$ 237
Rev per BB7
$ 237
$ 237
Rev per BB10
$ 448
If all of the improvements in gross margin were solely a result of a change in the sales mix of BB10 and BB7 phones, that would imply a margin on BB10 phones of about 63% and a base cost of only $165. That figure is probably too optimistic.
The BlackBerry CORE program, initiated last year, has produced about 1 billion dollars in operating cost savings. These savings have come partly from staff reductions, and partly from efficiencies and cost savings in the supply chain. It is possible, therefore that some of the gross margin improvement has come from cost reductions in the services business for the BB7 phones.
For the purpose of this analysis, I have set the gross margin on the BB10 at a more reasonable 40%, and adjusted the margins on the BB7 and the services to match the Q4, 2013 results.
In a previous article, I came up with a prediction of 1.5 million Z10 sales for Q4 2013 and long-term sales of 7 million per quarter. I did this by breaking the sales into three components - normal sales to BlackBerry users, pent-up demand and sales to users switching from other platforms. I have adjusted the model to match the actual sales of 1 million for February. The rates at which users were switching from other platforms has been kept the same, so the main effect was to reduce the sales generated by "pent-up" demand. The estimated sales are:
Estimated quarterly sales
Saudi Arabia
The predicted quarterly number now comes to 5.98 million. I have assumed a decline in service revenue to 90% of the Q4 service revenue, and a decline in BB7 sales to 1 million per quarter.
Plugging those numbers into a valuation model based on the margins calculated from the Q4 results gives the following quarterly results:
Projected future
Revenue (millions)
$ 3,856
$ 2,916
Software and services
$ 940
Cost of sales
$ 1,701
$ 977
Software and services
$ 724
Gross margin

Selling, marketing and administration
Income from operations
$ 806
Quarterly EBITDA
$ 987
Value (6 x annual EBITDA)
$ 23,700
Value per share
$ 44.95
How important is the U.S. launch? If I take out all of the projected U.S. sales, the valuation still comes to $27/share
To be worth $45/share, BlackBerry does not have to accomplish very much in the way of market share increases. In my financial analysis, the number of phones sold is only the same as Q3 2013. All BlackBerry needs to do is to carve out a small niche for itself and stay at the high end of the market, replacing sales of BB7 phones with sales of higher margin BB10 phones.
The Q4 results were a good indication that BlackBerry has turned things around, cash flow was good and there were no ugly surprises. The results were perhaps not spectacular enough to send the shorts running for cover, but they were good enough to establish the company as a solid prospect for the medium-term.

Refineries get the OK to hike gasoline output
AUSTIN - Refineries have been given the go-ahead to increase output, following the devastation off the coast of New Orleans and subsequent heightened gasoline prices.
President Bush eased pollution standards earlier this week, permitting refineries to produce "winter gasoline," which evaporates more easily than "summer gas." Also, when winter gas is produced, refineries can increase their output, industry officials said.
"Allowing industry to go right from summertime to wintertime gasoline will probably add another 3 (percent) to 4 percent to the supply," said Charlie Drevna, the director of policy and planning for the Washington, D.C.-based National Petrochemical Refiners Association. "And that is a substantial quantity of fuel."
The U.S. Department of Energy reported that national refining capacity, as measured by daily processing capacity of crude oil distillation, is about 16 million barrels per day. A 4 percent increase would boost output by 640,000 barrels a day.
Drevna said refineries normally begin making winter gas by October, and he said the increased amount of pollution would be negligible.
But Tom "Smitty" Smith, of the consumer and environmental group Public Citizen in Austin, said Bush's action could be harmful and won't allow for a significant enough amount of refined fuel to justify relaxing the standards.
"One tragedy is no excuse for creating another tragedy," Smith said. "These summer emissions standards are designed to protect our citizens in our most polluted cities from having their lungs seared by ozone."
At the Citgo refinery in Corpus Christi, summer gas will continue to roll out of the plant as executives consider making winter gas.
"We've had some conversations about it," Citgo spokesman Chuck Cazalas said. "Whether or not we're going to do that has not been decided."
Citgo officials still are talking to government agencies to make sure they would not fall out of compliance, Cazalas said.
The Valero plant in Corpus Christi could increase output by only one-half of 1 percent, said Bob Grimes, company spokesman.
But the workers at the Flint Hills refinery have started the process of switching to winter fuel, spokeswoman Katie Stavinoha said.
If Valero, Citgo and Flint Hills increased capacity, the Coastal Bend production potentially could increase by about between 15,000 to 20,000 barrels a day for a collective output of about 829,000 barrels a day.

Winter is here. I like winter and the snow, but I am not a fan of the bitter cold. The ideal temperature for me is above 30 degrees. The office needs to be cozy and warm, along with my home. This time of the year, your furnace seems like it's running 24/7. You want the security of knowing your family's home is snug and safe.
This is also the time when disreputable furnace repair services and chimney inspectors prey on your concern for the safety of your property and family. Often these disreputable operators use fear to convince you that your heating system is in dire need of repair or replacement, and you must make a major investment before misfortune or tragedy strikes.
In today's world, with more than one-third of Americans using fireplaces, wood stoves and other fuel-fired appliances as heat sources in their homes, we often hear about such tragedies in the news and seek to prevent them.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, heating fires account for 36 percent of residential home fires in rural areas every year. Often these fires are due to creosote buildup in chimneys and stovepipes, and they are preventable.
This is where the unscrupulous prey on the well-meaning homeowner. For example, scam artists may offer a chimney inspection at an exceptionally low price, and once in your home, make bogus claims, warning of an imminent possibility of house fire or carbon monoxide leaks. These are expensive repairs that must be done immediately, they say. They work to create a frightening sense of urgency with threats designed to spur you into action.
For real peace of mind regarding your home's heating system, we offer these tips:
•Before you schedule an inspection, make sure the business is registered with the state.
•To protect your home and furnishings, in case of an accident, ask them to furnish proof of valid liability insurance.
•Check www.bbb.org for the company's business review to see if there are any unanswered consumer complaints.
Furnace Maintenance Fraud
Another favorite scam disreputable businesses may use is to claim a furnace is "faulty" or "dangerous," again using fear to pressure consumers into an expensive replacement. In this scam, a furnace maintenance technician often claims that there is a crack inside the furnace that makes it dangerous to operate and presents a fire hazard.
To further heighten your apprehension, they may even turn the furnace off, recommending you keep it off unless it is replaced. Often times, if you purchase a new furnace through them within a given "special promotional" time period, they offer to waive the cost of the inspection and maintenance.
Have the furnace inspected immediately by a qualified professional if you or your family members are suffering from headaches, a runny nose, or watery eyes. Watch for a build-up of soot around heat registers and the furnace itself, or carbon monoxide detectors being set-off.
•If repairs are suggested, ask for photo/video proof of the recommended repairs. Ask for photos with enough background so that you can clearly tell that they were taken in your home.
•If you are told a component of your home heating system needs repair or replacement, get a second opinion and several bids. Do not feel pressured. Avoid agreeing to same-day installation.
•If they show you debris and rubble, ask to see what is broken or collapsed. If they can see the damage, so can you!
•Before the service person arrives, educate yourself about repairs of furnaces, fireplaces and chimneys. For example, a single-wall stainless steel liner is actually more durable and corrosion resistant than a sturdier-sounding double wall liner.
So, stay warm and enjoy winter.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
If there's a flaw, it's when Cuomo fails to pull off some of his lyrical risks. The album ender, an acoustic ballad with a powerful melodic ascent that dips into an aching fall, includes the wincer "Smell you on my hands for days/ I can't wash away your scent/ If I'm a dog then you're a bitch." (Hey Rivers, do you kiss your mother with that mouth?) Luckily, Pinkerton is also rife with the group's trademark nerdy hetero anthems--like "The Good Life," which finds Cuomo cockily imploring, "I don't wanna be the low man anymore/Been a year or two since I was out on the floor/ Shakin' bootie, makin' sweet love all the night/ It's time I got back to the good life." With an album this solid, he deserves it. (Laura Sinagra)

A Storm of Drones
"AS THE WORLD has moved towards becoming an information ocean, so music has become immersive. Listeners float in that ocean; musicians have become virtual travelers, creators of sonic theater, transmitters of all the signals received across the aether." So writes David Toop in the prologue to his recent book Ocean of Sound: Aether Talk, Ambient Sound and Imaginary Worlds (Serpent's Tail Press),
a tremendously illuminating look at the way
certain music of the 20th century has shifted away from strict formalism toward more formless soundscapes--and in doing so, reflects
some of the strange, fearful beauty of the modern world.
The double-CD Ocean of Sound set is a continuously segued mix of 100 years worth of music that inspired Toop's reveries. Claude Debussy and lounge maestro Les Baxter drift lazily into My Bloody Valentine and Brian Eno; The Beach Boys butt heads with the dubby African Head Charge; Herbie Hancock meshes with ambient techno innovator Aphex Twin; Indonesian vocalist Detty Kurnia segues up with Ornette Coleman; and the Velvet Underground ("I Heard Her Call My Name") blur into chants by bearded seals. It might sound like college radio-style self-conscious weirdness. But like any good modern DJ, Toop is making connections, tracing influences, and creating a sort of sound theater that's both entertaining and interactive--the story line you track is as much yours as the artists'.
Along these lines, A Storm of Drones might be considered a graduate seminar to Ocean's Ambient 101. A very compact three-CD set, it is the third and largest installment in a series released by the folks that brought you the ambient beat-logic of DJ Spooky (who contributes liner notes and one cut), and it blends the work of three dozen little-known electronic artists into a fascinating three-hour journey through very abstract audioscapes. Sometimes there are familiar signposts--twittering birds, thunder, traffic noise, running water. Mostly, though, you're on your own in a queer and sometimes threatening geography. As the liner notes explain: "This is not Eno-style ambient. This is not musical soma. The latent potential of motion, the ability to establish a recombinant zone of expression--these are the values that this anthology reflects: memory set adrift on the imploded dreams of our media, the accelerated pain of a world where 'the natural' has been replaced by the synthetic pleasures we like to call 'man-made.'" Yet as alien as these synthetic pleasures may seem at first, pleasure is indeed what they are about. So come on in--the ocean is quite fine. (Will Hermes)
Guy Davis
Call Down the Thunder
Red House
RAW COUNTRY BLUES aren't supposed to be played by guys who were born in Manhattan, grew up in the 'burbs, have famous actors for parents, and have successful alternate careers as writers and actors. But Guy Davis, son of Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee, defies all expectations, fingerpicking sparkling blues on his acoustic guitar, blowing a wicked blues harp and singing with a phlegmy voice that sounds like he's been sucking on whiskey, hardship, and Mississippi Delta dirt for longer than his 40-odd years. Davis is no dilettante, either: Having absorbed his grandparents' stories of the rural South, he's developed a fierce devotion to the blues as both an art form and a key to African-American tradition.
Evidence of his mastery of country blues (see Willie McTell, Robert Johnson, Leadbelly) and urban blues (see Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf) is all over his latest album for St. Paul's Red House Records. There are only three covers, including Mance Lipscomb's harrowing "Run Sinner Run" and a jaunty version of Johnson's "When You Got A Good Friend." The other 10 tracks are all Davis originals, although so drenched in authentic blues experience you might think to credit the howling stomp of "I Got The Power" to Waters or Wolf, or the rollicking "Georgia Jelly Roll" to Willie McTell, or the driving "Jelly Bone Jelly," featuring Pete Seeger on banjo, to Leadbelly. The one pop concession, "The Road is Calling," is a sprawling, road-as-life metaphor that could have come from the pen of Bonnie Raitt or John Hiatt. Which raises Davis' sole, very minor weakness: He's spent so much time evoking the spirits of blues greats, he hasn't quite nailed down his own distinctive style.
But that will come. "The best I can do is try to say the same old thing in a new way," he says in the liner notes. And for the moment, that's plenty good. (Rick Mason)

And then today I hung out with Larissa at the "Alberta Art Hop." We were selling our latest lark, bonnets and baby carriers and tees and onesies and what I'm calling "teething birds" made with vintage and recycled fabrics. Naturally, it being a nice day in Portland's baby central, we saw dozens of pregnant bellies and an equal measure of tiny newborns.
And oh, how I wanted to feel that feeling once again, that sleepy eye-rubbing newness, that falling-in-love, the time when every breath is full of the wonder of brand-new life. I wanted a baby again, a tiny mewling hand-clenching newborn.
I wasn't the only one. Larissa joined in my wishes, although if you want to know the truth neither of us ran home and checked our ovulation calendars or anything. Maybe I won't be trying to get pregnant in the next weeks or even in the next year. But oh, I want. I want.

I don't find I want another baby so much as I wish I could go back and appreciate the first time all over again. I was so busy being depressed, missing my old life, etc, etc, that I really didn't enjoy and appreciate it enough. Now I really miss that. And it's never like it was the first time.
Of course, it's easier for me looking back, since in actual fact, I loathe the first year, and struggled through it for both. I am crossing my fingers that we'll be able to afford to adopt an older child in the next few years. I want another KID. Just not a baby.
