Ryan Lochte still says Michael Phelps is returning
Jun 25, 2013, 11:14 AM EDT
It's probably bittersweet for Ryan Lochte that this week's national swimming championships in Indy will be the first since 1999 without all-time Olympic champion Michael Phelps, because while he may not have his close friend to compete against, Lochte does have a better shot at owning the event.
But Lochte isn't shy about his assumption that we haven't seen the last of Phelps in competition.
"I think we all know by now that he's coming back," Lochte told USA Today after a workout. "I don't think it's really a surprise. It's just a matter of when is he going to get back in the full swing of training."
Of course, Phelps's longtime coach Bob Bowman, who has already signed up to consult with the Turkish national swim team and to train two-time London Olympics champ Yannick Agnel of France, said he'd be the first to hear about a Phelps comeback… and he hasn't heard anything yet.
"[Phelps] is really enjoying himself," Bowman said. "He's playing a lot of golf and I think he's in good place as a person, and that's real important to me, because he had a hard four years. I think it was tough on him."
Instead of chatting about a comeback, or even swimming in general, Bowman said he and Phelps text back and forth about the two-year-old race horse they bought in May, which they've affectionately named "By A Hundredth" after the amount of time by which Phelps won the 100m butterfly in Beijing. Memories…

Breaking Down Andrew Wiggins BallisLife Video
This young man has serious ability, which is almost as obvious as saying the earth is round. It is not hard to see why Andrew Wiggins is the top rated player in the country after watching this video. He has a smooth handle and he plays the game with a ferocity that is unmatched at his level. His jump shot at 1:00 gives you a sense of the type of player that Wiggins can develop into. Wiggins will be present at the McDonald's All American Game, where he will face off against Jabari Parker for one of the last times in their high school careers.
His alley-oop catch at 2:06 will be a regular occurrence at the college level. His ferocity when he dunks is one of my favorite attributes that Wiggins possess. He has a great spin dribble move that he utilizes tat the 2:30 mark of the above video. He is as talented as any recruit I've seen when it comes to finishing in the lane and that is the quality that will make him a quality pro player one day.
Now, I'm just hoping he ends up on the North Carolina Tar Heels, but after their horrible loss to Duke with Wiggins in attendance, that may end up being a pipe dream. The last hope is that he saw the butt-whooping and decided that he wants to be the one to turn the tide for the Heels.

| View Exclusive AAUP Compensation Survey Data |
The number of non-full-time academics on Australian campuses rises by 17 percent, a figure officials attribute to universities' need for flexibility and financial constraints.
Terry McGlynn offers advice on how to stand out in a cover letter for a faculty job at a teaching institution.
Full-time, non-tenure-track professors at Rutgers University are celebrating after winning key bargaining goals in their new contract. Career titles outlining paths for promotion have been established for teaching, professional practice and librarian faculty members, similar to those already in place for clinical and research non-tenure-track faculty members. Explicitly non-renewable contracts have been abolished, as has the title of "assistant instructor." For non-grant-funded faculty members, appointments will be for one to five years, and advance notice of non-reappointment is now required.
Current assistant instructors also will be absorbed into the rank of instructor as of July and those assistant instructors making the minimum salary for their rank, about $34,000, will be paid the minimum salary for instructors – about $39,000. (No other raises for non-tenure-track faculty are included in the agreement). The union, which is affiliated with the American Association of University Professors and American Federation of Teachers, covers all tenure-line and about 1,000 full-time adjunct faculty at all three Rutgers campuses.
Ann Gordon, a recently retired, longtime, non-tenure-track research professor of history at Rutgers's main campus at New Brunswick, said that the university previously had no strategy for managing the career paths of non-tenure-track faculty, but that the new agreement – reached after many months of negotiations -- puts it ahead of many peer universities on that issue. In a statement, a Rutgers spokesman said the contract recognizes the "important role" of non-tenure-track faculty there. Some 1,300 part-time adjuncts at Rutgers are unionized with the AAUP and AFT, but in a separate unit. The contract does not affect them.
Ray Cool, an assistant professor of health, physical education and recreation at Western Michigan University, will be reimbursed after his paycheck was stolen by hackers, he said Monday. The news came a day after MLive reported that the university had not reimbursed Cool for the paycheck, which was stolen in mid-December. A hacker using a computer in New Mexico accessed Cool's university account and changed the routing number for his direct deposit from a local credit union account to one in Utah. By the time university public safety detectives traced the hack, all that was left in the Utah account was $11 -- some $1,500 short of his paycheck (the amount does not reflect his actual salary; Cool has several automatic deductions, such as to a retirement account, that were apparently unaffected by the theft).
In response, the university offered Cool an advance on his next paycheck but did not reimburse him for the missing check. Cool said he was frustrated by the university's stance, as it was their system that had been breached. But on Monday, the university informed him via email that he would be "made whole" financially, he said. Going forward, Cool said, "They need to make sure the system protects faculty and staff."
Cheryl Roland, a university spokeswoman, said in an email that she did not know how the hack occurred, but suspected it was the result of an organized phishing attempt. The university's backup verification system picked up on the problem and sent emails to both Cool and a second victim, a university staff member who also has been reimbursed, telling them their bank routing numbers had been changed, she said. But neither Cool nor the second employee opened the message until after the funds had been diverted, a week later. The university has indefinitely suspended online changes to direct deposit information, Roland added.

At one small liberal arts college, retiring professors get one last chance to teach that course they've always wanted to.
The president of Elizabeth City State University is planning an additional 65 layoffs, up to 30 of which would come from faculty positions, to deal with financial shortfalls, the Associated Press reported. The positions of four deans would also be eliminated. The actions would follow 46 layoffs last fall.
Students and others at Memorial University, in Canada, are angry over one question on an assignment for computer science students, CBC News reported. They were asked to determine whether a rape victim, especially after being mocked online, would be likely to kill herself. Critics say that there was no need to use such an example for the computer science course. The professor did not respond to the network or Inside Higher Ed.
Evanston, Ill., home of Northwestern University, regularly sees town-gown skirmishes over new construction. Now an off-campus, non-university project that might serve those visiting Northwestern has some local residents concerned. Evanston Now reported that the Southeast Evanston Association has sent an email alert to members urging them to scrutinize plans for an extended stay hotel to be sure that it affiliated with "a hotel brand that will maintain a high quality of business, and not devolve into cheap housing for transient academics."
Inside Higher Ed emailed the association to seek more information on the dangers of transient academics, but has not heard back.
A Duke professor recently used the magic word in an op-ed article she published, resulting in an invitation to visit a U.S. Senate office to discuss legislation affecting millions of children.
The magic word was "I." It's a word academics should include more often when writing op-ed articles for audiences beyond their campuses.
The professor wrote about her research showing orphanages in developing countries to be better than many Americans believe. She argued that well-intentioned legislation now before Congress would close too many orphanages and harm children unlikely to be adopted by nurturing families. The senator, one of the legislation's sponsors, was among those who saw the article.
That's impressive impact for a 750-word op-ed article, which requires far less time to write than a scholarly journal article or book. A well-written op-ed can change minds, sway hearts and affect policy. It can advance the author's career and the university's reputation. It also can serve the public interest, bringing faculty expertise to debates about everything from national security to the arts.
For faculty to play this role, however, they need to become more willing to use the word "I."
In the case of the orphanage op-ed, which our office edited and placed in several papers around the country, the author had the advantage of making an interesting point about a timely issue affecting children. What made her article compelling, however, was how she opened with a story about a Cambodian teenager who was forced to leave an orphanage and ended up becoming a "karaoke girl" who has sex with customers. The author wrote that this teenager illustrates the problem she has seen in several countries.
She maintained her first-person voice through her final paragraph, where she expressed satisfaction that Congress is addressing this issue and hopes the bill will be modified to continue supporting orphanages. To describe what she did in movie terms: She started with a "tight shot," pulled the camera back to show the "long shot" and used a character throughout to propel the narrative.
This approach is dramatically different than in most journal articles. There the author typically reveals the conclusion only at the end, festooned with caveats, after requiring the reader to wade through pages of experimental protocols or dense analysis. That approach simply doesn't work with a newspaper reader who is sitting half-awake at the breakfast table, flipping through the editorial pages en route to the local news and sports scores.
Academic articles also eschew the use of "I" or "me." Their authors learn in graduate school to rely on the power of their data and the brilliance of their arguments. Pundits should dazzle with their intellect, they're told, not with anecdotes or emotion. As scientists and others like to point out, the plural of anecdotes is not data.
That's true, of course, but also self-defeating when it comes to placing an article with the editors of op-ed pages, where competition can be intense. This reluctance of academics to come down from Mt. Olympus and share their stories is one of the biggest reasons why so many of them are disappointed when editors reject their articles. It's certainly possible to address an issue effectively with a third-person "voice of the expert," but academics should not consider this their only option.
My colleague Keith Lawrence and I have helped Duke faculty members and students place dozens of op-ed articles every year, something I also did while running an op-ed service for a decade at the National Academy of Sciences. We've learned that, all things being equal, articles fare better when authors share their own experience along with their professional analysis. If you are a physician-scientist who is concerned about national health policy, this means telling us what happened yesterday to Mrs. Jones, the woman who said she can't afford the medication you prescribed. If you are concerned about fracking, describe the homeowners who told you their water tastes strange.
You shouldn't violate anyone's confidentiality and you don't want to sound like a reality TV star. When you share your own humanity, however, your words ring truer. Readers care more about what you are saying. This is why presidents of the United States, regardless of party, place "real Americans" next to the First Lady when they deliver their State of the Union speeches. They know viewers will pay more attention to Lieutenant Smith, the brave soldier who just returned from Afghanistan, than to an abstract discussion about military policy.
Why do we have the Ryan White CARE Act and other laws named for individuals? Why do politicians on the campaign trail inevitably tell us about the family they met yesterday? For better or worse, human beings make sense of the world through examples. Academics who recognize this are not trivializing themselves or disavowing the intellectual rigor of their research. Rather, they are embracing reality and engaging readers effectively.
Americans who read op-ed pages are not stupid. They are more educated and engaged than the public as a whole. Many have expertise of their own. But they're also busy and, like all people, are wondering how an issue affects them personally. As they gulp a cup of coffee and race through the morning paper before heading to work, they want to hear real stories and voices.
They also want to feel a connection with the author. If you are a professor at Penn hoping to place an op-ed with The Philadelphia Inquirer, for instance, look for a way to mention something that makes clear you're a neighbor.
Many academics approach op-eds as an exercise in solemnity. Frankly, they'd improve their chances if they'd lighten up. Newspaper editors despair of weighty articles -- known in the trade as "thumb suckers" -- and delight in an academic writer who chooses examples from popular culture as well as from Eminent Authorities.
Most of all they want to see the magic word "I." More academics should use it.

An optimization model is presented to determine optimal operating policies for tailoring high density polyethylene in a continuous polymerization process. Shaping the whole molecular weight distribution (MWD) by adopting an appropriate choice of operating conditions is of great interest when designing new polymers or when improving quality. The continuous tubular and stirred tank reactors are modeled in steady state by a set of differential-algebraic equations with the spatial coordinate as independent variable. A novel formulation of the optimization problem is introduced. It comprises a multi-stage optimization model with differential-algebraic equality constraints along the process path and inequality end-point constraints on product quality. The resulting optimal control problem is solved at high computational efficiency by means of a shooting method. The results show the efficiency of the proposed approach and the benefit of predicting and controlling the complete MWD as well as the interplay between operating conditions and polymer properties. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2011

Music: Leonard Cohen
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
"I don't know. It has a good chorus."Leonard Cohen is a Canadian poet and singer-songwriter. He is known for his wry, melancholic and frequently beautiful lyrics, his ever-present cluster of angelic back-up singers, his fascination with religion and spirituality, and that voice, good lord. Cohen began his career as a writer, with two collections of poetry that received good reviews, but his later material didn't do as well, so he became a singer-songwriter due to his lack of financial success. His first album, the snappily titled Songs of Leonard Cohen, was released in 1967; it met with critical acclaim, mediocre sales and a lasting cult status, something that could be said for his entire career to date. After a decline in popularity from the mid-1970s onward, he released the incisive, satirical I'm Your Man in 1988. Widely considered one of his best albums, it effectively rebooted his career and cemented his status as a cult figure.Something of an acquired taste due to his minimalistic approach to music, often dark tone and average-to-middling ability to actually sing in tune, Cohen is nevertheless regarded as one of the finest and most influential songwriters alive today. His songs have been frequently covered by other artists, with "Hallelujah" - most famously covered by Jeff Buckley on Grace - being the most prominent example, and he was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.Cohen is private and something of a hermit (he spent many years living in a Zen commune atop Mount Baldy, where he was known as Jikan, "The Silent One"), but after 2005, where his manager, Kelley Lynch, almost completely emptied his pension account and ran away with the money, Cohen started touring again in 2008 at age 73. He has continued to do so through 2012, and does not show signs of stopping any time soon.Also, Phil Spector once threatened him with a loaded gun. But that's not important.

- Songs From A Room (1969)

Selected Bibliography

- The Spice-Box of Earth (Poetry) (1961)

- Flowers For Hitler (Poetry) (1964)
- Beautiful Losers (Novel) (1966)
- The Book of Longing (Poetry) (2006)
Tropes about this musician include:
- As the Good Book Says: He frequently references The Bible.
- Bilingual Bonus:
- In "The Partisan" some lines are in French.
- Card-Carrying Villain: the narrator of Beautiful Losers.Le triomphe du Mal sur le Bien.
- Cool Old Guy: Among other things, he skips on and off-stage at concerts and donated $200,000 to the Australian bushfire appeal.
- Crapsack World: A frequently-occurring trope in his work:
- "The Future": "I've seen the future, baby; it is murder"
- "Everybody Knows": "Everybody knows that the war is over / Everybody knows the good guys lost / Everybody knows the fight was fixed / The poor stay poor, the rich get rich"
- Songs of Love and Hate includes the song "Dress Rehearsal Rag", which is notable for - despite Cohen frequently being derided for writing "wrist-slitting songs" - being the only song that actually mentions wrist-slitting.
- Finally, and ironically, despite this being easily his bleakest album, it's the only album cover where he's smiling.
- The Cynic: His songs are frequently pessimistic. "Everybody Knows" might be the best example.
- Deadpan Snarker: His interviews are frequently hilarious.From an interview with Suzanne Vega, 1992:Cohen: Do you have your band put together yet?Vega: No.C: Can I play in it?V: What would you like to play?C: I don't know.V: You could sing; you could be a back-up singer.C: Congas!V: It's like I always go see you perform, you always have two very beautiful women standing by you.C: I could be one of the beautiful women standing beside you.
- When The Future (his most successful album in Canada) gained him a Juno Award for Best Male Vocalist, he mentioned in his acceptance speech that "Only in Canada could somebody with a voice like mine win Vocalist of the Year."
- When he played Edinburgh Castle in 2008, it was a cold and windy outdoor show and keyboardist Neil Larsen dropped a couple of minor but noticeable clams during a solo. As Cohen introduced the band a few minutes later, he gave the tiniest bit of emphasis to "the impeccable Neil Larsen."
- For Want of a Nail: His music saved Roger Ebert's life. Here's how: Ebert was in the hospital for cancer treatment, and it looked like the surgery had been a success. He and his wife were getting ready to leave, but Cohen's song "I'm Your Man" starting playing on his iPod and Ebert chose to linger for a bit so he could listen to his song. Just after it ended, though, his cartoid artery burst and Ebert collapsed in the room. Lucky for him, he was already in the hospital, so his life was saved. Had he not waited to listen to Cohen, Ebert would have been a car bleeding profusely, with a much slimmer chance of reaching his doctors again.
- God-Is-Love Songs: Numerous songs, but the best example is possibly "Coming Back To You"; it starts "Baby, I'm still hurting, and I can't turn the other cheek; you know that I still love you, it's just that I can't speak" - and it soon becomes clear that the "Baby" in question is, er, God (or possibly Judaism in general).
- Gratuitous French: Not exactly gratuitous, of course, since Cohen is Canadian and thus speaks French as well as English.
- In "The Partisan" some lines are in French.
- Gray Rain of Depression: "Last Year's Man"
- Intercourse with You: He has a reputation.
- Oh, I want you, I want you, I want youOn a chair with a dead magazine
- Not the straightest use of this trope as it's Cohen's translation of a Garcia Lorca poem, a better example may be "Light as the Breeze", a lovely little song about the technique one should employ when performing oral sex.
- Another example, but much less subtle than the above: in "Chelsea Hotel #2", a lovely song written for Janis Joplin, he so lovingly singsI remember you well in the Chelsea HotelYou were talking so brave and so sweetGiving me head on the unmade bedWhile the limousine is waiting in the street
- Isn't It Ironic?: "Hallelujah" is probably the worst offender. It's not supposed to be a happy song!
- Cohen was also reportedly greatly amused by the non-ironic use of "Democracy" (a scathing, wry little statement about American society) as a patriotic ballad. I mean, for heaven's sake:I'm sentimental, if you know what I meanI love the country, but I can't stand the sceneAnd I'm neither left nor right, I'm just staying home tonightGetting lost in that hopeless little screen.But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that time cannot decay,I'm junk, but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet.Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
- Cohen was also reportedly greatly amused by the non-ironic use of "Democracy" (a scathing, wry little statement about American society) as a patriotic ballad. I mean, for heaven's sake:
- Lyrical Dissonance: "Heart with No Companion" has a bouncy, jaunty melody and introduction. And then the first line...So I greet you from the other sideOf sorrow and despair!
- The Captain also has a rather upbeat, bouncy tune and a rather dark subject matter.
- Long Runner: His first album came out in 1967. That's a whole eleven years after the publication of his first book of poetry.
- Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Suzanne from "Suzanne".
- Mind Screw: Cohen's lyrics are usually near impossible to decipher but Songs of Love and Hate is probably the worst offender, "Avalanche" in particular.
- Nice Hat: He can rock a charcoal fedora."It was the hat, after all."
- Nice Jewish Old Man
- Not Christian Rock: Scriptural and religious imagery appears often in Cohen's lyrics, but not always as a statement of faith. The most noteworthy example of course is "Hallelujah," which dwells on the biblical stories of David and Samson but is really more of a Breakup Song.
- Offing the Offspring: "The Story of Isaac", which retells... well, the story of Isaac.
- Outdoor Bath Peeping: In "Hallelujah":Well, your faith was strong but you needed proofYou saw her bathing on the roofHer beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya.
- Rage Against the Reflection: "Dress Rehearsal Rag"
- Sanity Slippage Song: "Dress Rehearsal Rag" again and "Diamonds In The Mine". But several other songs from the album Songs Of Love And Hate could qualify.
- Self-Deprecation: Cohen is well aware of his vocal limitations, and occasionally pokes fun at them himself. Besides the above-mentioned snark about how "only in Canada" he could win a prize for Best Male Vocalist, he sings in "Tower of Song" that he was "born with the gift of a golden voice" and in "A Singer Must Die" that its sound makes the ladies "moist".
- Soprano and Gravel: The majority of his songs are sung with a back-up chorus of female sopranos.
- Stylistic Suck: The vocals in "Diamonds in the Mine".
- This Is a Song: "Hallelujah" spells out its own chord progression (see the page quote).
- Villain Song: "First We Take Manhattan", possibly.
- Vocal Evolution: He started out as a middling nasally tenor. His earlier records sound positively soprano when compared to his later ones; over forty years, his voice has dropped to a distinctive rumble, and it seems to be getting deeper with every album. Dear Heather was positively subsonic. He claims that he has one more album left in him; presumably, only dogs will be able to hear it.
- A World Half Full: "Anthem", definitely. He has some similar songs that veer more into Crapsack World, but might still have the requisite sense of beauty and empowerment simply by virtue of being stirring music.
- From "The Old Revolution":Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows.
- From "The Old Revolution":

great value
they give you free beach chairs! Money Saver! Great location right on Ocean Drive. Lots of restaurants. You just have to cross the street and get to the beach. Hotel is not right on beach
Weekend away
Everything in this hotel is fabulous. The staff, the location, the staff. Seriously the best staff ever. We had a little issue with the room and within minutes the problem was solved. The breakfast was also quite good. I cannot wait to say here
Great couple trip
The service was excellent and they are equipped with amenities that are needed to go to the beach at not extra charge. Free break fast till 11 am, which is great, most hotels I have been to have them till 9 am. Only fault is room was not sound
proof, could hear neighbors easily.
South Beach
The staff is what makes this Hotel wonderful. From Julio the bellman, to Reynaldo and Silvana at the front desk . They were so friendly and helpful. This is a great location. Breakfast is very good. The rooms are small but for the amount of time
you actually spend in your room it's okay. I would recommend this hotel to all my friends.
great location
We had wonderful time at Miami beach due to hotel location right at Ocean drive. Very courteous staff.
First time in South Beach
We experienced an terrific time being a guest at the Beacon Hotel. If you are looking for a fun place to stay right in the center of the South Beach action, this hotel must be considered. Clean and comfortable rooms. Courteous and generous staff
to greet you at any hour of the day. Woke up each day to a great view of the park, out the door for a brief morning stroll on the beach, back for a filling complimentary buffet style breakfast, then grabbed the towels and chairs and claimed a spot on the beach for several hours. It felt great to be a part of an iconic landmark in South Beach. Complaints….None to mention!
Great wife and husband get away
Great location perfect staff very nice breakfast was right on time
Couple trip
It was great! Great location and nice hotel for the price
Would not recommend
Mad Miami!
Hotel was smack bang in the middle of Ocean Drive so if you are looking for a lovely clean hotel and don't mind it being noisy from the surrounding bars then this is the place for you. Hotel staff were very nice and always helpful. Clean beach
towels were provided everyday along with the beach chairs but be aware that you do have to carry your beach chairs to the beach everyday if needed. Complimentary breakfast was a plus and provided a variety of options every day with endless supply of coffee!
Good Location
Friendly staff, clean room, good location very close to the beach.

Solo Sara Bareilles makes big impression in small room
The voice of Sara Bareilles could fill, and has filled, venues larger than the Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center Auditorium, which sold out its 435-seat capacity when she stopped there Friday night.
Bareilles was in the midst of her first-ever solo tour and evidently wanted the intimacy of a smaller venue - combined, perhaps, with the assurance that if she failed, she would do so in front of a smaller crowd. »Read Full Article(2)

I wish gaming journalists were more honest, as when a game comes along that DOES deserve great praise, (Halo 4, From what I have seen it does deserve much praise) people can't take their absolute word for it. Anyways, I hope it is the Halo of Halos as you put it. I have loved every single halo so far, but it definitely needs to kick it up a notch now, and show everyone why it is regarded as the king of shooters. I havn't played Mass Effect 3, but some of the cut-scenes in it were amazing, and the back drops.

Edited press releasePreston-Osborne & Red7e, Kentucky-based public relations and advertising firms, have been jointly selected as the marketing communications partners for the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2010.The games will be held Sept. 25-Oct. 10 in Lexington in 2010 at the Kentucky Horse Park. The two agencies, who partnered in their proposal, were selected after an extensive review of agency partners.
Preston-Osborne is a Lexington-based firm, and Red7e is based in Louisville. The two agencies are not new partners. They have had a relationship working with another equine industry client for more than two years: KEEP, the Kentucky Equine Education Project."This was a difficult decision because of the many, competitive proposals and presentations we received from agencies across the Commonwealth. However, we are excited about working with these two agencies to achieve success for the games," said Jack Kelly, CEO for the World Games 2010 Foundation, the entity tasked with planning and organizing the games. "They each have different strengths that, when working together, makes them great partners for us.""We anticipate significant early public relations and interactive marketing activities for the next two years, and then our more focused advertising will begin as the games approach," said Rolf Linder, the new SVP and chief marketing officer. "Over the past many weeks, I have been working with our marketing committee to find a partner with large event experience, who'll bring energy to the games, and who understands our need to manage costs, and we found it."The games are the world championships of the eight equestrian disciplines recognized by the Fédération Equestre Internationale and are held every four years. They have never before been held outside of Europe; nor have all eight disciplines been held together at a single site, both firsts that will be achieved at the Kentucky Horse Park."There has never been an event like this in Kentucky and we are thrilled to be selected for this project and trusted to help make it the best event ever," said Phil Osborne, CEO of Preston-Osborne."The games present us with a great opportunity to show Kentucky to the world, and that is exciting from a creative standpoint," said Dan Barbercheck, president of Red7e. "Working in concert with Preston-Osborne, we hope to set a new precedent of event promotion and communications."The 2006 FEI World Equestrian Games are currently underway in Aächen, Germany, and run through Sept. 3. Approximately 800 athletes and 875 horses are expected to compete. The 2010 games are expected to attract more than 1,000 athletes from 40 countries, 500,000 spectators, and have an economic impact of more than $150 million.

2002 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Q&A
2002 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Question: 2002 VW TDI automatic transmission shift module
I just purchased a very clean 2002 TDI Jetta Wagon, w/automatic transmission. It has 148,000 mile. It runs fine, but seems to have a slight delay in the shifting sometimes. I was told this is a common 2002 only problem, and can be fixed by replacing the shift module (passenger side by firewall) with one for a 2003. Is this correct? Anyone know the correct p/n for the 2003 shift module. Can I buy an aftermarket one, where & what can I expect to pay for one? Any help is appreciated. Mike G., Chaska, MN - MikeG-Chaska MN
Answer 1
Try re-setting the transmission shift points by putting your foot to the floor and then turning on the key, this will se-set the shift points for your VW. Before you jump to thinking that it is a bad TCM , you better scan the data stream, there is a lot of info on how the Sensors in the Electronic Throttle Control wear and then cause delayed upshifts. Sound familiar? Best to have a savy tech Diagnose this issue first before you jump to ANY conclusions and start buying parts. - dandd

County raises elected officials' salaries
Pay set for next four years.
LEXINGTON—In lean and uncertain economic times, Dawson County commissioners know they must remain frugal with their spending.
At the same time, all five board members feel it's necessary to reward the county's elected officials for a job well done.
Commissioners set the next four years of salaries for themselves and the nine elected officials during their annual statutory meeting Tuesday morning.
Commissioners Roger Bauer and Butch Hagan each presented salary proposals.
Both plans offer commissioners a $250 raise annually with the chairman's salary $1,000 higher than the others.
Bauer's plan gives each elected official a $2,000 raise the first year and $1,000 annually for the three years following with the exception of the register of deeds, attorney and sheriff.
The register of deeds' salary, he said, needs to be brought more in line with the other county officials' pay. That office's increase would be $3,093 the first year and $1,000 annually after that.
Bauer also followed a recommendation by the Nebraska Association of County Officials to make raises for the attorney and sheriff 1.5 and 1.2 times more, respectively.
"I felt like I was being as liberal as I could be," Bauer said.
Hagan was willing to offer every elected official a $2,000 increase the first year and $1,500 each of the three years following.
"I thought every office needed a little boost for the good work they do," Hagan said, "but I don't think anyone should be singled out for extra."
In the end, though, Hagan's proposal failed on a 3-2 vote with Bauer, Bill Stewart and Dean Kugler against.
Bauer's presentation was accepted 4-1, with Hagan voting no.
The state requires that county commissioners set salaries for elected officials every four years.
Commissioners voiced disproval of the four-year commitment to the money.
"Surrounding counties have had better fortunes than we have," Kugler said. "They haven't seen the decline in employment."
Hagan offered optimism.
"I hope we're at the bottom of the economic problems and we'll see it turn around soon," he said.

Thursday, January 7, 2010
RPM International Inc. reported net income of $55.9 million for the company's second quarter ended Nov. 30, 2009, a 34% increase from the second quarter a year earlier. Sales for the quarter declined 3.5% from the year-earlier period, to $858.7 million.
Consolidated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased 19.4%, to $92.9 million, from the same period a year earlier.
Frank C. Sullivan, chairman and CEO, said net income "continued to benefit from cost-reduction programs initiated in the prior fiscal year. Modest consumer segment sales growth continued, while sales in our larger industrial segment remained under pressure in line with our previously stated expectations."
Sales for the company's industrial segment, representing 71.4% of total sales, declined 6.0%, to $613.5 million, from the same period a year earlier. Sales from ongoing businesses declined 9.5%, offset in part by sales growth of 1.0% from acquisitions and net foreign-exchange gains of 2.5%. Industrial segment EBIT for the second quarter improved 4.5%, to $74.2 million.
"Industrial sales in international markets, as well as certain product lines, including roofing and polymer flooring, held up reasonably well despite the troubled global economy," Sullivan said. "Other industrial product lines, particularly those that serve domestic commercial construction markets, struggled as tight credit markets continued to dampen both new commercial construction and major renovation projects."
Sales for the company's consumer segment, which accounted for 28.6% of total sales, rose 3.3%, to $245.2 million, with the increase all from ongoing businesses, including 1.5% in net foreign-exchange gains. Consumer-segment EBIT improved to $31.8 million from $15.6 million a year earlier.
"Our consumer businesses are benefiting from gains in market share during the past fiscal year, new product introductions, and strength in our small-project, maintenance and repair, and redecoration products, despite consumers being cautious about spending on major home-renovation projects," Sullivan said. "Increasing sales, coupled with cost-reduction efforts, produced outstanding EBIT growth for the consumer segment."
For the company's first half ended Nov. 30, net income was $128.9 million, a 15.9% increase from the first half a year earlier. Sales for the period declined 5.4%, to $1.77 billion. EBIT for the period rose 13.2%, to $213.5 million. First-half sales for the company's industrial segment declined 10.2%, to $1.24 billion. EBIT for the segment fell 3.6%, to $159.1 million. First-half sales for the consumer segment rose 7.9%, to $537.1 million, while EBIT increased 73.1%, to $82.1 million.
Upward revision in forecast
In comments on the outlook for the company's current fiscal year that ends May 30, Sullivan said RPM is revising upward its forecast for earnings per share to a range of $1.30 to $1.45, compared to earnings per share of $1.05 for the previous year. The earnings improvement for the year as a whole is anticipated despite a projected loss for seasonally weak third quarter that ends Feb. 28.
"We are encouraged by the year-to-date improvements in our gross margin that have resulted from productivity gains, operating efficiencies, and cost-reduction actions undertaken during our last fiscal year," Sullivan said. "Additionally, while still materially above historical norms, raw-material costs have declined from last year's extraordinary levels."
Strong cash flow
RPM said that for the first half of its current fiscal year, cash from operations rose 77.5%, to $184.7 million. Capital expenditures were $8.3 million, and debt at the end of the first half was $906.2 million, compared to $930.8 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. Sullivan said the company is "continuing to build on our existing strong cash and liquidity position in anticipation of a return to our normal level of acquisition growth." He said that, on Nov. 30, liquidity—including cash and long-term committed available credit—stood at a record $853.7 million.
