Misty May-Treanor might be officially retired from the professionally volleyball circuit (after winning three-straight Olympic gold medals), but she's definitely keeping busy. This summer, she launched her clinic series "Dream in Gold" with Spalding and Nike, and she continues to play tournaments for fun. Not to mention she's picked up golfing (a la Gabby Reece?). VBM caught up with her as she drove home from an event in San Diego, to hash out the details on her clinics, her future coaching plans, and her thoughts on what will happen to beach volleyball in this country.
Volleyball mag: What inspired your Dream in Gold Clinics?
Misty May-Treanor: Well I had clinics that I did prior to coming back for 2012 and they were called M2 volleyball clinics. I had to put the clinics on hold when I made the run for London with Kerri again, so I hadn't really done clinics for about a year and a half. And then I've always signed things "Dream in Gold" so that's how that started and it kind of stuck. So with M2, I was just doing business and that was just the name of the clinics. This time I wanted my clinics to be called Dream in Gold clinics because that's what we all want to do. So honestly I've just picked up my clinics again, but they are now called Dream in Gold Volleyball Clinics and I partnered with Nike and Spalding to help, those are two of the sponsors.
VBM: Are the clinics beach or indoor or both?
MM: In January, I did a clinic up in Portland, Oregon, and it was an indoor clinic, so I do indoor and beach, just depending. The Dream in Gold juniors' series is beach clinics geared towards the juniors and the Dream in Gold Clinics that I'm doing with Spalding this summer are beach, except for Pottstown and Waupaca, which are grass. Other than that for the summer it's beach.
VBM: You father Butch goes with you on your trips, right?
MM: He goes to all my clinics, yep. I have him because he's very knowledgeable and he works with the small young kids, which is great because he's so technical. But I love having him at all the events, and the parents and the kids love having him there too. Not only are his stories funny, but I think people get amazed that at 72 he's still able to move and do things. But he's really fun to have at each stop and the kids really enjoy his teaching.
VBM: How would you describe your coaching style?
MM: Well obviously I'm not going to run anybody into the ground because hopefully when I have the same clinics the following year they want to come back. So my goal is not to have anybody hate me. The clinics are usually four hours, so I'll have three hours of instruction and then I'll do an hour lunch with the kids. I hang out with the kids and I do Q&A, just interact with them. After, all the kids get autographs til the last person goes home. But in that amount of time it's hard to really break down the skills so much so you try to introduce them to different aspects of the game. My goal is to have them leave with more information than what they're coming in with because at the end of the day each player is their own individual and they have to find out their own style. But if I can give them, in a confidence building manner, a different approach to looking at a skill or maybe being a little more efficient that's what I want to do.
VBM: What are some of the most important pointers you share with the kids at your clinics?
MM: I told somebody earlier, sports are getting so specialized now. I was fortunate enough to get to play many different sports and I think it made adjusting to different situations easier, reading different angles, but now it seems like a lot of kids strictly play one sport, so [the clinics are about] getting them to identify patterns, identify what the other players on the other side are doing so they can read it a little better. Movement is very important. They can be the most skilled player, but if they're inefficient in moving, they could be one step behind. They're not getting to a ball they should be able to get. It's also getting them to be fundamentally sound or giving them tools to be fundamentally sound because at the end of the day when you're tired, in a long match, or you're hurt, your technique cannot break down. You have to learn to walk before you run. And a lot of players now think they have to run before they can walk, that walking is beneath them. "We want to jump serve," they say. But can you float serve? "No, we jump serve." Ok, but what if your ankle is sore one day and you have to stay down? It's kind of introducing them to the idea that even at the highest level we work on the simplest and most mundane things because at the end of the day that's what it comes down to. And then you progress from there.
VBM: Do you have any plans beyond these clinics for the rest of your "retired" life?
MM: Well, I graduated in May with my masters in coaching and athletic administration and was helping Long Beach State with their sand volleyball program as a volunteer assistant. I really like coaching; my husband and I, we want a family. I've been working on my golf game, I love golf. So that's my new sport, I'm like, "Ooo, golf." But I love teaching the sport of volleyball. I also worked with the Wounded Warriors on an event and I've been asked to participate in a program which I have my fingers crossed and am looking forward to that would possibly take place in November. It's just time to pass my knowledge on to others. I play though; I get out there, still mess around and have a good time. I'm not too far away from the game.
VBM: Are you planning on coaching for Long Beach again?
MM: Not right now, no. I was just the one year. I was a volunteer, my dad was the manager. Matt Ulmer was the head coach there, Erika Chidester was the assistant.
VBM: When you got your masters, what sorts of things did you learn that you didn't learn as an athlete?
MM: Well, one, you appreciate goals the second time around more because you actually know what you want to do as opposed to the first time around you're like, "I guess I'll take this major because I think I want to do this." But no, one of the biggest aspects when you're a player and you want to go coach is learning what takes place in the office, what are the other things the coaches need to think about besides putting a lineup together. I think that's the biggest thing, because as an athlete you're like here's your schedule, here's your uniforms, we meet at the bus this time. But you don't know how all that came about. I thought one of the most interesting aspects was all the legal issues that you have to deal with when you become a coach, it's pretty interesting. It just helped me to refine my coaching philosophy and get some good workouts and stuff. I liked it a lot; I had a great time in that setting.
VBM: And how would you describe your coaching philosophy now that you've gone through that additional schooling?
MM: Well like I said, I'm a fun coach. I want the players to have fun, but I want to make players think for themselves. That's ultimately what I want to do, I want to create thinkers, and pass enough knowledge on so that at the end of the day they don't need to rely on somebody telling them what to do or where to go. But in a very enriching environment. You have to deal with so many people in different ways: teaching, confidence building, working to each other's strengths.
VBM: What are you predictions for the future of beach volleyball in this country?
MM: Well, I think more colleges are definitely going to add sand programs, which is great. It allows kids to get more scholarships. I do understand that the tour is coming back, I'm not really sure what's going on with the tour front though. That's why I'm with the juniors. I want to give them something solid so they can play all the time. It's like any other thing, after the spark of the Olympics it rises and it will fall for a little bit then it rises again. That's just the way the sport has always gone. But we'll definitely see the collegiate game grow. It would be fun to see guys sand volleyball in college. I think that would be fun, and they'd have a great time doing that, especially the guys that aren't able to get scholarships or aren't picked up for their [indoor] teams. To have that would be fun. I think it's definitely growing.

- " Very good place if you wanna stay in Kyoto, it's very near to the train station and the bus stop. I recommend renting a bike, it's very cheap and you can see as much as you want by going around the city at your pace! The place is well organized, they have a nice common room and kitchen. We really enjoyed stay there!! ^.^ "
- 04 Aug 2014 Lara Italy
- " This hostel is very close to Kyoto Station, ATMs, and makes getting around Kyoto easy. I highly suggest renting a bicycle from the hostel if you are good with maps. It will save a lot of money and stress. This was a quiet hostel and it was in a fairly quiet area. Not much nightlife in this area. The rooms were clean and the staff was great. I've never seen a hostel kitchen this clean. I highly recommend this hostel! "

Style showdown, everyone! We are very pleased to announce that The Dark Knight Rises premiere yesterday at AMC Lincoln Square Theater and we can only imagine that everyone who watched it came out with their brain cells in a state of mush because we can't imagine the movie being anything else but mind-blowingly awesome. But back to the sartorial wars. The film's top women, Anne Hathaway and Marion Cotillard ended up wearing the same color — white — on the red carpet, albeit to totally different ends. A ballerina-esque Marion wore the cream, textured Christian Dior frock you see on the left, with sexy, sparkling Christian Louboutin heels. Lot's of tulle in that skirt, and while someone else would have made the whole ensemble look twee, not Marion. She, of the minimal makeup, chic chignon and slow, sexy smile, makes it look perfectly Parisian.
Anne, on the other hand, looks alarmingly slender, but very beautiful in her white Prabal Gurung Resort 2013 gown, even though the peplum seems a bit half-assed to us. We know she's lost a ton of weight to play Fantine in Les Miserables so that's why those jersey drapes are hanging off her a bit. But that haircut makes up for it for us and the design of the gown is stark and minimal which we always love. We can't stop looking at her face! She's got a touch of Mia Farrow and Audrey Hepburn going on there, which is a tough combination to beat. If anyone can, though, it's Marion. So tell us — who rocked their white outfit more?

Abe refers to a White House press release in which the Obama administration proudly announced today that to deal with the problem of mass atrocities, it is creating "an important new tool in this effort, establishing a standing interagency Atrocities Prevention Board."
This just shows the extraordinary incompetence of the Obama White House. They should have called it the Atrocities Prevention Panel.
Then, when one of the Bashar al-Assads of the world slaughters his citizens (or somebody else's) by the hundreds, the White House could say, "Mass atrocity? We have an APP for that!"

I rather like my interpretation, at least in so Victoria Cohen resembles Alice visiting Fry, the March Hare, the leader of ceremonies, at a weird tea party, QI, in the wonderland of the BBC, and must be worshipped. What is less clear to me is why she should see herself and the other contestants as Aztecs but it may be because her husband, a regular team member, lives in constant fear of being wiped out, as were the Aztecs, unless he constantly Worships it - Fry, the March Hare.

If this really was a dream, isnt there a more psychoanalytic explanation? March Hares, mad, frisky, friends with a hatter, always thinking it is tea time, since the hatter stole time. Aztecs, mexicans, wiped out by the whites, endangered, performed human sacrifice.... Who is mad on this show? The most eccentric on the show? Does one have to be sycophantic (worship) the maddest person on the show, lest one get wiped out? Fry is the Hare and the contestants are Aztecs who have to worship it.

What are the symptoms of emphysema?
The primary symptom of emphysema is shortness of breath, which may or may not be accompanied by other symptoms.
Common symptoms of emphysema
You may experience emphysema symptoms daily or just once in a while. Symptoms are usually worse during morning hours. At times, any of these emphysema symptoms can be severe:
- Chest pain or pressure
- Clubbing of the fingers and toes (thickening of the tissue beneath the nail beds)
- Coughing up clear, yellow, light brown, or green mucus
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath or rapid breathing (tachypnea)
- Wheezing (whistling sound made with breathing)
Serious symptoms that might indicate a life-threatening condition
In some cases, emphysema can be life threatening. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you, or someone you are with, have any of these life-threatening symptoms including:
- Bluish coloration of the lips or fingernails
- Change in level of consciousness or alertness, such as passing out or unresponsiveness
- Rapid heart rate (tachycardia)
- Respiratory or breathing problems, such as shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, labored breathing, wheezing, not breathing, or choking

How is emphysema treated?
Treatment for emphysema begins with seeking medical care from your health care provider. The goal of treatment is to improve breathing. Severe cases not responding to therapy or accompanied by serious bleeding may require surgical resection, or, in rare cases, lung transplant.

Uncle Boons
Hello, just wondering if anyone has tried Uncle Boons yet? New Thai restaurant at 7 Spring Street..We are coming to NYC in a few weeks, and it looked like a fun place to eat..Anyone tried it yet? Thanks!
I'm curious, too. Eater just interviewed the chef/owners. If you're a line cook looking for work, they're hiring ... http://ny.eater.com/archives/2013/06/...
I thought it was great but be warned music a bit loud -its a tiny place with very nice staff. I made mistake of telling waiter to surprise us and meal was very meat heavy-will try other options next time.
The food is very good. The place is packed. The noise level was extremely high. They kind of follow the Pok Pok model of no pad thai, no pad see yew. I tried several dishes.
Seared chicken livers with pineapple & basil, was very tasty.
The Charcoal grilled dishes were great. The Pak Pali ( blowfish tails) were really good. Koong ( shrimp with heads on) were delicious and grilled to perfection.
The Kao Pat Kuk Kapi ( spare RIB with shrimp paste fried rice with dried shrimp) This dish was amazing in a good way and a bad way. The rib was fantastic, juicy, perfect. The fried rice served with it was one of the best fried rice dishes i've eaten. It was terrific. The bad, there is only one rib. I've never heard of a rib dish with one rib. I think it cost $24 for one rib, a bit of a ripoff.
The whole fish was a dorade and was excellent and served with the head but filleted.
The lamb laab was "thai spicy" and very tasty.
Every dish I had was excellent. The rotisserie chicken seemed quite popular there. If anything the prices were a bit high.
I will definitely be back, I haven't had good charcoal grilled dishes in any restaurants here in NY. Next time I try the Khao Soi, the sweetbreads, the chicken, and the roasted oyster dish.
I highly recommend Uncle Boon's. The service was very good.
re: foodwhisperer
i have to disagree...i ordered items that you didn't order but i found the food to be completely disappointing...or at the very least, disappointing.
the space is great...i didn't find it to be too loud but energetic. service was great. i expected bad service but everyone was nice and competent and friendly.
the betel leaves with dried shrimp were my favorite dish. they were a bit on the small side but tasty nonetheless. the crab dip just plain sucked. very wet, very mediocre...a bad thai crudite. also, pretty measly vegetables to dip the sauce with.
the sweetbreads were another disappointing dish. the fry wasn't good and it really didnt work with the salad it came with. i love sweetbreads and these were absolutely forgettable.
the khao soi was solid enough. id say it was a good dish. the version at pig and khao is just as good though.
skimpy portions, very mediocre food, high prices for what it was...in a nice, bustling restaurant with good buzz and service. overall, i wont be back.
re: sam1
I went to Uncle Boon's again. This time at an off-peak time. The restaurant was not loud, and they back room is quite charming. Another poster commented on the place being small. I think perhaps they didn't notice that there was a back room that seats about 40 people.
The food was again enjoyable , and perhaps a bit more spicy than the first time. The roasted oysters were not a very good dish and I will probably not get them again. That also goes for the crispy tofu with mung bean cakes. This was not a good dish. I did enjoy the sparerib over fried rice with shrimp paste again. This time the rib was cut into 2 pieces. The grilled whole fish was deboned and was delicious. I will be back
re: sam1
I've been back 4 times. I think they are a little inconsistent in their cooking. I've had the rice that the spare rib is on top of , spicy, not spicy but very good and not spicy and very overcooked. The beetle leaves were good.
I happened to have liked the sweetbreads very much and thought they went well with the salad. Go figure.
The Khao Soi was excellent. It could have used a bit more broth, but overall it was quite authentic, the noodles were perfect. It was the most authentic and best Khao Soi I've had.
They do however, have you add your own spice. So if you want it "thai Spicy" you can make it that way.
Pig and Khao has too much broth. Khao Soi in Chiang Mai is about in between these two restaurants as far as amount of broth.
Not sure what I wrote in other posts, but the lamb laab is the spiciest dish. I wish they made other laab dishes at Uncle Boons.
I did learn that the husband and wife chefs cooked at Per Se. Also that the wife part of the team is half Thai and grew up in Thailand. Those two credits carry a lot of weight in my book.
I'll keep going and assume it will get better. I hope they get more consistent.
I hate the game new places play, by saying there is a long wait, and yet there are many tables open. They do this to keep the hype going. I hate it. Buddakan used to send people to the bar and make them wait a half hour. But if you said you don't drink, immediately they seat you. Anyway, I'm a fan of Uncle Boon's and I frequent Pig and Khao.
re: foodwhisperer
if i recall, i called ahead on a saturday night and they quoted me an hour wait at 830pm. i got there at 845 and said it would just be 5 minutes.
re: darren425
Is that Danny Bowien in the bottom right-hand corner of that photo?
I thought it was great (agree with below posters that crab dip mediocre and to be avoided) but the chicken liver curry, betel leaves, and green curry (been a long week and can't remember details) were all fantastic.

Here's hoping the guy straightens things out. There's still a nice long good life ahead of him, if he starts making better decisions. Praying and rooting for him...
Maybe in 2015, Bama can go back to Dallas to open the season. 2016 and 2017 are home and home with Michigan State.
Very nice. It had taken a while to get the 2014 opener scheduled; I was wondering if maybe Bama was getting cold feet for these type of games with the 'threat' of an additional conference game looming. Glad that's not the case. West Virginia, very interesting opponent. ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!
Man I am stoked! To finally get his kid to committ, so good. He might actually be able to start as a frosh, succeeding AJ. Great job and welcome to Bama Cooper!
Cleveland has traded up. Trent goes to the Browns at number 3
Oh man, I know I'll be there. Here's hoping they show the 47-30 win at Georgia from 2008 eventually; that to me was the key win that year. We'd started with the big win against Clemson, but Georgia was supposed to be a BCS contender that year...
Little help here: Someone list all the QBs on this years squad? I know we've got 1)AJ 2) Sims) 3 the Ely kid from my hometown of Tampa. Who am I leaving out? Help a Crimson brother out!
At least the Cooper kid came to visit. Hard to blame Browne; Barkley's gonna be the number 1 QB in next years draft. Still, Cooper watched AJ in the BCS title game and realized that yep, Bama QBS DO throw the ball downfield. I believe Coach Saban always refers to it as 'explosive plays'. The main thing is for the staff to have faith that the kids can do it. Honestly, John Parker and GMac didn't have the arms for it; AJ does. You will see the downfield pass much more this year, I predict.
Can't blame Blount; after all, Trent would take his job. But as a Bucs fan(I live in Tampa) the Bucs had better draft Trent with that selection...if he is still there. This guy is special
Can't wait for draft day. I live in Tampa Bay; hope that Bucs take Trent! ROLL TIDE! And Bucs!
Dude, we need you here; Bama's headed in the right direction, you could really speed the process up!
I hear ya, and yes, the standards need to be raised. Still think it's something to celebrate though, given that we haven't been to the tourney since 2006. Next year the goal will be to win a few games once we get there, though here's hoping we can at least win one this time around. ROLL TIDE!
Congrats to the team, this is another step forward. Especially happy for JaMychal; at least he gets to go to the Dance once. ROLL TIDE!
Creighton's an 8; we're a 9; I would guess Creighton by 2?
Forget about North Carolina; it's gonna be hard as anything to get past Creighton. We have our hands full. But for now, congrats to the team for ending a six year drought and getting back in the dance! ROLL TIDE!
I'm still a Grant believer. In retrospect Bama shouldn't have been in the the top 25 to start the season. Much better effort against Florida. And hey, we're finally going to the Big Dance! No Lunardi Bubble talk; that's cool. For next season we've just got to hit the outside shot more. Is at as Scarbo said, that we have the shooters but they aren't living up to their potential? Or do we need different guys? I go with the second one. Nevertheless, can't wait for tomorrow to see where Bama will be going and who we'll be playing. ROLL TIDE!
True. Never made the final Four with him either. I really like our coach now, regardless of what happens the rest of the year. I think we make our Final Four debut with him, certainly not this year, but in the next few...
I don't know why because Bama has been sluggish these last 3 games, but I think we take the Gators down today. ROLL TIDE!
Well, I would welcome a return to the Wimp days as well, but for the love of god please don't bring back those jackets he used to stomp around the court in...
I agree, we're going to the tourney. We deserve to go given the body of work of the season. I just meant I'd hate to go in having lost to the Gamecocks in the opening round of the SEC

"Larry is one of the best traders I ever had the privilege of working with on Wall Street. His integrity, honesty and insight into equity and debt markets make him a rare breed. Not only was Larry a great person, but he had common sense which is surprisingly uncommon! If Larry McDonald was running Lehman, the firm would still be around today. I strongly recommend his book to anyone who'd like to learn how corporate culture destroyed a 150 year old firm, and how to safeguard against inadequate controls."
Larry McCarthy, Former Global Head of High Yield and Distressed Trading at Lehman Brothers
From 2004- 2008, Larry was Vice President of Distressed Debt and Convertible Securities Trading at Lehman Brothers. He ran an extremely successful joint venture between the firm's fixed income and equity division. Larry was considered one of the most profitable traders, leading his team into betting against the subprime mortgage crisis. Larry was an integral part within Lehman Brothers who tried in vain to prevent the firm from collapsing.
At the height of the 2008 financial crisis, Mr. Lawrence McDonald wrote a book on the fall of Lehman Brothers, A Colossal Failure of Common Sense: The Inside Story of the Collapse of Lehman Brothers. In his book, Larry details his experience working as Vice President at Lehman Brothers and provides a behind-the-scenes look on why one of the most prominent investment banks failed.
The book is a risk manager's guide to all the right and wrong moves, and explains why investors must stay ahead of policy moves coming out of Washington and Europe. Published in 2009 by Random House, Colossal Failure hit the New York Times Best Seller's list in its first five days on the bookshelves, and is now considered one of the bestselling business books in the world. Colossal Failure is now translated into 12 different languages.
Larry's skill set is unique. He has taken billion risks on a trading floor, and is a world-class European & Washington policy risk analyzer. At Lehman Brothers, he was consistently one of the most profitable traders at the firm. As one of the leading risk managers and bond traders today, Larry is a frequent guest contributor on Bloomberg, CNBC, Forbes, MSN Money, Fox Business and the Huffington Post.
Larry is a highly regarded political policy risk consultant to hedge funds, family offices, asset managers and high net worth investors. His 17 Lehman risk indicators help investors get in front of painful risk off trades in the global markets. Notably is Larry's involvement as special advisor to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC), created by Congress in 2009 to investigate the causes, domestic and global, of the economic and financial crisis in the United States.
Additionally, Mr. McDonald has participated in three major financial crisis documentaries: Sony Pictures Academy Award winning documentary the Inside Job, BBC's The Love of Money and CBC's House of Cards.
Since publishing Colossal Failure, Larry has delivered over 100 keynote speeches in 17 different countries, speaking at Banks, Investment Firms, Conferences, Law Firms, Insurance Companies and Universities.
Prior to Lehman Brothers
Mr. McDonald was Co-Founder and COO of ConvertBond.com, a website coined by Forbes Magazine as "Best of the Web" from 2000-2003 as the World Wide Web's premier source for convertible securities information with news, valuation, terms, and analysis tools for convertible securities. In October 1999, the website was successfully sold to Morgan Stanley where it remains property of the firm.
Larry began his career working as a successful retail financial adviser helping individual investors build wealth, starting with Merrill Lynch in 1990 and then moving to Citigroup's Smith Barney division.

The scores are in and two Loyola Marymount University alumni took home Olympic medals at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Reid Priddy '00 helped the U.S. men's volleyball team win to the gold medal in Sunday's final over Brazil and Jeff Stevens '06 helped the U.S. baseball team to earn a bronze medal.
The U.S. men's volleyball team finished the tournament undefeated at 8-0 en route to the gold medal. Brazil won the silver medal with a 6-2 record, while Russia defeated Italy, 25-22 25-19 25-23, to win bronze. Priddy scored 12 points on eight kills and four aces in the win over Brazil.
"To be honest, I just think again trying to stay in the moment helped us," Priddy said when asked what it took to win the gold medal. "Sure we felt fatigued. We know that we're good at every aspect. We just had to be determined. The first emotion is shock. We're just so proud to be a part of this team representing our country. It's just very special...this group just really wanted to be together."
The U.S. men's team overcame the tragic events of Aug. 9, when head coach Hugh McCutcheon's father-in-law, Todd Bachman, was killed and his wife Barbara was seriously injured by an assailant while site-seeing in Beijing. McCutcheon missed the team's first three matches, but returned on Aug. 16 when Barbara's health had improved enough that she returned to the United States.
Stevens helped guide the U.S. baseball team to a bronze medal in what could be the final time the sport is played in Olympic competition. A four-run fifth inning highlighted by Taylor Teagarden's two-run double and a two-run homer from Jason Donald helped lift the U.S. to an 8-4 win over Japan, clinching the bronze medal for Team USA. The U.S. finished the Olympic Games with a 6-3 record while Stevens posted a 9.00 ERA and a 1-2 record in four appearances for the team.

Complete Release in PDF Format
UPCOMINGThe University of New Mexico caps the 2009 regular season with a trip to Laramie, Wyo. for the Mountain West Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships (Wednesday - Saturday). It's New Mexico's first outdoor track meet at Wyoming since the Cowboys hosted the 1968 Western Athletic Conference Championships to help athletes prepare for the Mexico City Olympics that summer. Wyoming's Louis S. Madrid Sports Complex is the highest Division I track stadium in the nation, sitting at 7,163 feet above sea level.
The balanced Lobo men, who were second at the 2009 MWC Indoor Championships and fifth outdoors last year, will be looking for their first top-two outdoor conference finish since 1988 this weekend. UNM is No. 38 in the latest national rankings, second among the six MWC men's teams behind No. 20 BYU. The Lobos and Cougars have separated themselves from the pack on paper with No. 66 TCU the nearest MWC team in the national rankings. New Mexico athletes own the top time or mark in the Mountain West in six men's events (3 field, 3 track) and have the second-best results in six other events (5 track, 1 field).
The UNM women have been fifth in the MWC Outdoor standings each of the past three years, but will be looking for their first top-four finish at the conference meet since 1990. The Lobos lost a pair of 2008 MWC champions in heptathlete Sandy Fortner (redshirt) and high jumper Tiyana Peters (graduation), and 2009 indoor All-American triple jumper Deanna Young (redshirt), but return two-time defending javelin champion Katie Coronado and long jump runner-up Alesha Walker. New Mexico will also rely on its powerful distance group, which captured the 2008 MWC Cross Country title this past fall.
MWC CHAMPIONSHIPS RESULTS/INFORMATION/HISTORYMWC Championships Central: Schedule, results, standings, photos, facility/lodging information, weather updates, etc. will be available on the official website of the Mountain West Conference
Live Results: Live event-by-event meet results will be available at RecordTiming.com
Live Blog: University of New Mexico media relations assistant Daniel Archuleta will be on hand to provide complete Lobo coverage of the MWC Championships exclusively on www.GoLobos.com. The live blog will start on Friday afternoon.
Schedule: The decathlon and heptathlon will get started on Wednesday at 12 p.m. and will conclude on Thursday afternoon. On Friday, the field events get underway with the women's hammer throw at noon, while the first running event - the men's steeplechase finals - begin at 1 p.m. On Saturday all the action begins at noon with three field event finals and the men's 4x100 finals. The championships will conclude at 4 p.m. with an awards ceremony.
Teams Competing: Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State (women only), Utah (women only), UNLV (women only), Wyoming.
Laramie Weather Report: As of Monday, May 11 the forecast for Laramie calls for favorable weather during the bulk of the meet. Wednesday, the first day of the heptathlon/decathlon, will be windy and chilly, but conditions are expected to improve starting on Thursday with partly cloudy skies, highs in the mid-60s, and moderate wind. Friday calls for much of the same with a high of 60. Saturday, the final day of competition, should feature the best weather with highs in the low 60s, partly cloudy skies, and mild winds.
Last Year at the Mountain West Championships: New Mexico earned 11 medals, including victories by junior Sandy Fortner (heptathlon), senior Robert Caldwell (pole vault), junior Katie Coronado (javelin), senior Tiyana Peters (high jump) and junior Lee Emanuel (1,500 meters), at the 2008 Mountain West Conference Outdoor Championships at TCU's Lowdon Track and Field Complex. The women finished fifth with 78 points - their highest since scoring 141 at the 1990 High Country Athletic Conference Championships - while the men's team was also fifth with 87 points - their best score since 2005.
Fortner staked her claim as the greatest female athlete in the MWC with a sensational victory in the heptathlon. She demolished Darcy Ahner's 18-year-old record in the seven-event competition and guaranteed her bid to the NCAA Outdoor Championship meet with a winning score of 5,641 points. She became the first Lobo to win the conference heptathlon since Ahner captured the Western Athletic Conference title in 1989.
Caldwell (Socorro) became the first Lobo since 1991 to win a conference pole vault title and Coronado (Ruidoso) captured her second straight javelin crown. The duo joined Fortner of Fort Sumner to give the Lobos three gold medalists from New Mexico class 3A high schools or smaller.
Peters cleared 5' 8 3/4" (1.75m), knocking off top-seeded Niomi Ridge of CSU (2nd - 5' 7") to become the first woman in MWC and UNM history to win back-to-back outdoor high jump titles. She completed the indoor/outdoor MWC high jump sweep for the second straight year, giving her four conference gold medals in her career.
Top-ranked Emanuel surged to a relatively comfortable victory in the 1,500 with a time of 3:47.63. He became the first Lobo to win a conference title in the event since 1986 and also snapped BYU's five-year winning streak in the event.
Caldwell and Coronado later made UNM just the second school to sweep the men's and women's MWC Outstanding Performer awards. Caldwell won the pole vault with a championship record clearance of 18' 1" (No. 2 all-time at UNM), following Coronado's victory in the javelin with a mark of 176' 1". They were the first Lobos to earn the awards at the Mountain West Championships.

RECORD NUMBER OF QUALIFIERSNew Mexico has already smashed its program record with 19 athletes qualified for the 2009 NCAA Midwest Regional Championships (in 14 different events). Last year, UNM tied the program record with 13 individuals qualified for the regional meet. The group of 19 includes 12 men and seven women.
An additional four athletes (two men, two women) have reached the NCAA provisional qualifying standard in the 10,000 meters. The 10K and multi-event competitions are the only events not contested at the regional meets.
LOBOS PILE UP ATHLETE OF THE WEEK AWARDSNew Mexico set another program record with four combined men's and women's Mountain West Conference Outdoor Track & Field Athlete of the Week awards this spring. The record haul came over four consecutive weeks from April 7-28, included a record three men's awards between April 14-28.
Senior sprinter Jermaine McQueen earned the award on April 28 after clocking the third-fastest 100m time in school history to win the event at Cal's Brutus Hamilton Invitational. Senior middle distance man Lee Emanuel captured league honors on April 14 after leading the Lobo men to the team title at the New Mexico Tailwind Invitational with a career-best run in the 800 and again on April 21 after shattering the school record and running what was then the nation's fastest 1,500 at the Mt. SAC Relays.
The New Mexico men have captured eight Outdoor Athlete of the Week awards over the past three years after winning just six times from 2000-06 and none in their first two seasons in the league.
Senior javelin thrower Katie Coronado brought home the first award for the Lobos on April 7. Coronado finished second at the Texas Relays with a school record-setting performance to become the first UNM woman honored by the league since she won for her first award in 2007.
LAST TIME OUT: Don Kirby Invitational (Albuquerque, N.M.)It was a fitting finale for one of the University of New Mexico's finest homegrown track and field athletes. With the home crowd rocking at the Great Friends of UNM Track Stadium, senior Anthony Fairbanks unleashed a season-best throw of 219' 1" (66.78m) on his fifth attempt to knock off UTEP All-American Alex van der Merwe in the final collegiate event of the 19th Don Kirby Memorial Invitational. The Albuquerque Highland product was one of 14 UNM seniors who bid farewell in their final home meet on May 2.
Second-year Lobo head coach Joe Franklin and his staff put on one of the largest UNM home meets in recent history, merging the Rio Rancho High School Invitational with the Don Kirby Invitational for a field of over 1,000 athletes. Unfortunately, Mother Nature caused a few headaches once again as the athletes had to endure three mandatory 30-minute lighting delays midway through the meet. The weather in the Duke City had been virtually perfect for nearly two weeks leading up to the event.
The delays didn't phase Fairbanks, however, as he finished his final season undefeated at home (2-0) with a stirring upset of the Miners' outstanding thrower van der Merwe, who finished fifth in the even at the 2008 NCAA Championships. Fairbanks moved up to 24th on the current NCAA descending order list.
While Fairbanks excelled in his fifth home meet, UNM freshman Ty Kirk turned in a sensational collegiate debut. The Lobo wide receiver uncorked a Mountain West Conference-leading and NCAA regional qualifying leap of 50' 11" (15.52m) on his second attempt. It was the longest jump at UNM since 1984, sixth on the UNM all-time list and over a two-foot personal record for Kirk. The Arlington Heights, Ill. product recorded his previous best of 48' 6 ¾" in a seventh place finish at the 2007 U.S. Junior Olympics.
Kirk finished third in the event, which was won by South Plains' Kyron Blaise, who smashed the stadium record with a mark of 53' 1 ¾" (16.20m). New Mexico senior Domnick Meadows recorded a career-best 48' 7 ½" (14.82m) to place fifth in the stellar field.
Meadows punched his ticket to the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships earlier in the day in the long jump, qualifying for the first time with a career-best leap of 24' 1" (7.34m) - over six inches beyond his previous best and the second-best leap in the MWC this spring.
UTEP got an upset of its own in one of the marquee events on the track as sophomore Anderson Mutegi pulled away from New Mexico senior All-American Jarrin Solomon late in the men's 400 meters. Mutegi clocked with ninth-fastest time in the country - an altitude-adjusted 46.08 - to hold off Solomon by 0.29 seconds in the Albuquerque La Cueva product's final home meet. Solomon's adjusted time of 46.37 was his second-fastest of the season and came after an hour weather delay.
New Mexico won 10 events on the day with the senior class accounting for six of the victories.
Senior All-American Katie Coronado captured the javelin with a throw of 159' 6" (48.62m) despite being interrupted by the third lighting delay of the meet.
Junior Alesha Walker cruised to victory in the long jump with a mark of 20' 6 ¼" (6.25m). Senior teammate Brittany Smith and sophomore Asal Salehpoor tied for fourth with career-best leaps of 19' ¾" (5.81m).
Fifth-year senior Whitney Johnson capped an undefeated home season with a winning jump of 11' 11 ¾" (3.65m) in the pole vault. Junior teammate Aditi Majumdar was second with a lifetime best of 11' 5 ¾" (3.50m).
Junior Matthew Henry-Marshall captured the men's discus with a throw of 160' (48.76m).
On the oval, fifth-year senior Leslie Luna opened the day with a victory in the 5,000 (altitude adjusted 17:29.39) and another fifth-year senior Stasia Ploskonka followed with a win in the 3,000m steeplechase (adjusted 11:17.51). Sophomore Alex Willis gave the Lobos' a sweep of the steeplechase with an adjusted time of 9:15.20.
Senior transfer Andrea Wright took the 800 with an adjusted time of 2:13.20. Lobo redshirt freshman Alex Darling was second with a season-best adjusted time of 2:14.85.
Junior Kim Perkins was also a winner, capturing the 400 hurdles with an adjusted time of 1:01.33.
Lobo freshman Thomas Trujillo led the men's team in the short sprints with altitude-adjusted season-bests of 10.71 in the 100 and 21.72 in the 200 (fifth in both).
LAST TIME OUT: Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational (Stanford, Calif.)Senior Lee Emanuel sliced nearly a second off his own school record in the 1,500 meters with a time of 3:37.25 on May 2 at Stanford's Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational. Emanuel's was one of several fine performance for the Lobos late Saturday evening, which saw four runners hit NCAA regional qualifying times and three more reach the NCAA provisional qualifying standard in the 10,000.
Emanuel appeared to be on his way to another dominant victory in the 1,500 as he led with about 300 meters to go in the elite section 1 race. However, he appeared to stumble slightly on the back straight, breaking his strong, fluid stride and falling back to fifth. The Hastings, England rallied back in the final 50 meters, however, to take third at the line.
Oregon's Matt Centrowitz became the first man to defeat Emanuel this spring as he clocked the fastest collegiate time in the country, winning the largely professional stacked race in 3:36.92.
The action heated up later in the night as junior Michelle Corrigan ran a career-best 16:29.26 to finish eighth in the section 2 5,000m. Corrigan became the 19th Lobo to qualify for the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships and moved up to third on the UNM all-time performers list in the event.
Senior Mat Ashton moved closer to securing his second straight NCAA Championships appearance with a career-best time of 28:50.93 in the 10,000 (eighth, section 2). Junior teammate Chris Barnicle also moved closer to an NCAA berth in the 10K with a career-best time of 28:53.20 (10th). Both men improved on their previous NCAA provisional qualifying times in the event.
Elsewhere, junior Rory Fraser added an NCAA regional qualifying time in the 1,500 to his previous bid in the 5,000. Fraser won the section three race with a time of 3:46.09 - good for eighth on the UNM all-time performers list.
Junior Ashley Gibson got the evening started on the right foot with a career-best time of 4:23.23 (10th) in the 1,500, improving her previous regional qualifying time.
NATIONAL RANKINGS WATCHThe New Mexico men checked in at No. 38 while the women are ranked 50th in the week five USATFCCCA national team rankings. There are 209 teams currently ranked on the women's list and 195 on the men's side. The Lobos are fourth among the nine women's teams in the MWC and second among the six men's teams in the league.

1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups
brown sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1/4 cup

1/4 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1/4 teaspoon
1 1/2 cups
flaked coconut
1 cup
chopped walnuts
This recipe, we've always known as ITALIAN BROWNIES... Not sure where that name came from...
Mom makes these every year at Christmas. One nice adition is to sift powdered sugar over the top... for a pretty display. (also sweetens 'em up a bit)...
3 eggs
3 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 1/4 C light brown sugar
1 C chopped nuts
3/4 C flaked coconut
is my Mom's amounts, but Dream Bars II turns out really delicious too... and less sugar.. :) (makes up with the flaked coconut, which is loaded with sugar) so either way, it's about the same.
Thanks for a good recipe.
Not as tasty as I had hoped. A little bland, but I think changing the ingredients slightly would help a lot. Something needs to make it sweeter.

I used the cocoa version and loved the flavor! I liked the coconut in it as well. Really yummy, but to be honest, I prefer brownies over these.
Increased all the ingredients by 1/4 to make a jelly roll pan for a potluck. Also added a package of butterscotch chips. Baked the crust for 10 minutes and the bars for 20. They were fantastic! Thank you for a great recipe!!!
My husband loved this! Was looking for a particular Swedish dessert he liked that incorporated coconut and cocoa and found this. Not the same one, but he loved it all the same! Quick and easy to make. Whipped some cream and added some vanilla sugar and sugar into it to make really sweet. Used cocoa in this one.
made these for a few gatherings and they have been a big hit. Several have asked for the recipe. (made them without the cocoa)
I made these today for the first time and love how easy and fool proof they are. These hold together well and taste great -- two requirements I have for a good bar cookie recipe.
Tried it & gotta say I like our very old "secret" family recipe called Dream Cake better. Passed down thru 4 generations from Canada. (The very French canadian part) Have never heard of it anywhere else or with cocoa. Our version has quite a bit more brown sugar, vanilla & another egg in the wet mixture. We also add 1-1 1/2 cups of crushed corn flakes. This makes a great crispy top layer & an ooey-gooey center.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Nicole Ryan scored 19 points to lead the American women's basketball team past Holy Cross 59-55 in conference action Saturday at the Bender Arena. The Crusaders fall to 6-14 overall and 1-4 in the league as American improves to 8-12 on the season and 3-2 in conference play.
At the start of the game, Holy Cross and American stayed within two points of each other until freshman forward Tayana Carper (Shrewsbury, Mass.) sunk a three and freshman guard Christy Cushnie (Vienna, Va.) added two from the line to make it 14-11 at 10:10. The Crusaders continued on a 4-2 run to take a five point lead with just under eight minutes left in the first half (18-13). In the next few minutes Briana McFadden (Wheaton Md.) scored five points while Cushnie added three to keep the five point lead (26-21). With 1:28 left in the first half, American tied the game at 28 after a 7-2 run, but senior guard Brittany Keil (Sparta, N. J.) scored two from the line to take the Crusaders into the break with the lead (30-28).
At the half, McFadden had 11 points for Holy Cross and junior Ashley McLaughlin (Andover, Mass.) had six rebounds. The Crusaders made almost half of their points from the line as they shot 12 of 14 free throws.
The Crusaders came out of the locker room to score 14-4 in the first five minutes of the second half. In the run, senior Kaitlin Foley (Albany, N.Y.) scored six points, McFadden hit two three-pointers and Keil added two to take a 12 point lead (44-32). The Eagles came back with an 11-2 run to come within three points (46-43) and then made it a one-point game 48-47 at 6:29. The Eagles then went ahead by two after Ryan hit a three-pointer, but freshman Bethany O'Dell (Lincoln, R.I.) matched it on the Crusaders next possession to push back into the lead (51-50). The game was tied up three times in the last 4:38 minutes of the game. American took a two-point lead twice (1:33 and 0:36) and Holy Cross could not put up another basket in the last minute of the game as the Eagles won, 59-55.
Three players from Holy Cross scored in double digits as McFadden led the team with a career-high 17 points. Foley had 14 points and six rebounds while Keil added 10 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks. McLaughlin had a career-high nine rebounds while Cushnie scored a career-high five points.
The Crusaders remain on the road as they travel to play Colgate Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. in Patriot League action.

LOYALTY. By Ingrid Thoft. G.P. Putnam's Sons. 405 pages. $25.95.
In the hard-boiled detective genre, new authors are always popping up with what they hope is the great detective novel, with the toughest detective, grittiest story and so on. Most of them fail.
In her debut novel, Ingrid Thoft has not failed. Maybe she hasn't quite achieved greatness, but "Loyalty" certainly ranks as pretty darn good.
Private investigator Fina Ludlow's sister-in-law is missing. Her brother, Rand, is a suspect in the disappearance, which he doesn't seem at all upset by, and Ludlow's family of Boston lawyers expects her to deal with it. And by deal with it, they mean keep the dirt from hitting the family, even when Rand Ludlow is charged after his wife's body is found.
Fina Ludlow is tough, and she has to deal not only with the people trying to keep her from solving the case, but with her family, which has some less-than-admirable members.
Thoft delivers good writing, a truly fine mystery with credible motives and emotions, and really believable characters, many of which fall into two categories: those who readers will want to shoot and those they'll look forward to seeing in Thoft's next book.
Reviewer Carol Edwards is a freelance editor and farmer living in Marlboro County.
THE EXPLANATION FOR EVERYTHING. By Lauren Grodstein. Algonquin Books. 335 pages. $24.95.
This story is just too nice. And in most of the ways you can take that phrase.
A biology professor has made his name as a humanistic evolutionist while fumbling through a life of unreconciled guilt and the grieving void left by the wife he loved, who was killed in a car wreck.
A few hard-core Christian students hatch a plan to have him direct an independent study for one of them on the science of intelligent design. They see it as a way to have him confront the Eternal Presence. He sees it as a way to force the student to apply the rigor of scientific inquiry.
Then he gets a mad crush on the sweet-faced student he directs. And there are his daughters, the "just friends" neighbor, a few other tortured souls and an imminent tenure decision.
Lauren Grodstein pops the characters against each other like metal balls in a Newton's cradle to explore the disparate viewpoints. A dark vein of tragedy gets exposed late in the story that opens the raw issue.
But for the most part, tragedy keeps a degree of separation from the characters' action. The resolutions get a little too pat. The characters lack some subtleties, and some dimension in the semblance of their beliefs.
Grodstein does make intimate play of finding common ground across one of the divisive issues of our time. She spins a good human yarn, if thin in spots. "The Explanation for Everything" might not be all that. But it is ... nice.

We all look our best in real life, but a new trend shows young people now are taking drastic measures to look good on social media. It's being called "selfie surgery".
The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery finds 1 in 3 surgeons reporting seeing more patients with complaints about how they look in their social media snapshots, and wanting to go under the knife to fix it.
The average age of those sad selfie takers -- between 20 and 30.
Cristina Blanco, a frequent selfie taker saw a plastic surgeon and got a nose job, and later, a breast augmentation.
"When I take pictures now, I don't see myself using as many filters, and making certain poses or faces to make myself look good, I just take a picture as I am," said Blanco.
"In every single patient, without exception, comes in now to a consultation with pictures of themselves in their phones, and they say, 'I don't like the way I look in this picture here,' said plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Salzhauer.
Dr. Salzhauer says he turns about 20 percent of prospective patients away, telling them it's just a bad picture.

Study plan approved for Alaska's 600-MW Susitna-Watana
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has approved the remaining 14 environmental studies for the 600-MW Susitna-Watana project on Alaska's upper Susitna River.
FERC staff ruled in December that Alaska Energy Authority's revised study plan lacked sufficient detail about 14 of the 58 proposed environmental impact studies. As the start of the FERC licensing process, the plan proposed 58 individual studies of the proposed dam site and surrounding area, 184 miles up the Susitna River above Devils Canyon.
In January, AEA convinced FERC to accelerate its revised study plan schedule for the 14 studies to avoid losing the entire 2013 field season.
FERC approved in April one of the remaining study plans without modification and the other 13 with modifications. The studies cover water quality monitoring, mercury assessment and potential for bioaccumulation, geomorphology, fluvial geomorphology modeling below Watana Dam, groundwater, ice processes in the Susitna River, fish and aquatics instream flow, riparian instream flow, fish distribution and abundance in three Susitna reaches, river productivity, characterization and mapping of aquatic habitats, and riparian vegetation downstream from Watana Dam.
In approving plans for the last 14 studies, FERC rejected calls from resource agencies and groups to expand AEA's proposed two years of studies to five years. The National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and numerous individuals and non-governmental organizations expressed concerns that two years of sampling is not enough to collect adequate data.
"AEA's proposed two-year study schedule is consistent with generally accepted practices in the scientific community for evaluating the effects of hydropower projects on fisheries and riparian resources..." the FERC ruling said. "It would be premature to require additional years of data collection without first evaluating the data and modeling results that will be obtained from 2013 and 2014 study seasons."
EPRI announces several new board members
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) announced in April that Kimberly Greene, president and chief executive officer of Southern Company Services, will chair its Board of Directors.
Greene had previously served a term as vice chair for the energy research group. Before joining Southern Company, Greene was executive vice president and chief generation officer with the Tennessee Valley Authority.
EPRI also announced the election of Denis O'Brien, senior executive VP of Exelon and CEO of Exelon Utilities, as vice chair. Previously, O'Brien was executive VP of Exelon and CEO of PECO, a Philadelphia-based utility.
Other board members, who will serve four-year terms, are: Bernard Salha, CEO of research and development at Electricite de France; Livio Vido, chairman of Enel Ingegneria e Ricerca in Italy; Duane D. Highly, president and CEO of Arkansas Electric Cooperative; Terry Boston, president and CEO of PJM; and James Lash, president of FirstEnergy Generation.
TXU Energy Chairman and CEO Jim Burke and Keith Trent, executive VP and chief operating officer of regulated utilities at Duke Energy, were elected to one-year interim terms. Anita Decker, COO of Bonneville Power Administration, will be one of two federal public power representatives on the board.
EPRI is an independent, non-profit organization focused on research and development relating to the generation, delivery and use of electricity.
Corps to perform biological, fish studies in Northwest
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to hire companies to perform biological studies and fish studies in the Snake and Columbia river basins and other areas of the Pacific Northwest.
The studies will relate to objectives of the Columbia River Fish Migration Program, the Continuing Authorities Program, the Project Authorities of Dams, and other programs managed by the Corps. Most work of this nature conducted to date has focused on passage of salmon, lamprey and resident fish at hydro projects. Future research topics, techniques and scope of biological studies might evolve based on changing priorities identified through regional discussions.
Under a separate contract, the Corps will hire companies to provide biological studies of vertical distribution and acclimation depth of sub-yearling chinook salmon. The Corps seeks to validate salmon survival estimates while determining if there is a significant difference in survival due to depth pressure acclimation of run-of-river fish relative to directly released surface acclimated fish.
Other research under way
In April, Columbia Basin Environmental won a US$36,700 contract to perform total dissolved gas and temperature monitoring at 2,457-MW Chief Joseph Dam on the Columbia River in Washington, 525-MW Libby Dam on the Kootenai River in Montana, and 42.6-MW Albeni Falls Dam on the Pend Oreille River in Idaho. The company will install government-owned and supplied gas and temperature probes, as well as maintain and calibrate them, plus conduct a special temperature study at Albeni Falls Dam.
Study says 70% of new energy through 2030 will be renewable
A study released by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) shows that renewable energy sources - including large hydropower projects - will account for 69% to 74% of all power generation investments in the world through 2030.
Annual investment in new renewable power capacity is set to rise by 2.5 to 4.5 times by 2030, according to BNEF, with the likeliest scenario being an increase of 230%. BNEF said that figure equates to investments of US$630 billion in renewable energy sources per year by 2030 and reflects an increased interest in non-intermittent clean power like hydroelectricity and decreasing costs for development.
"The news ... is dominated by stories of pain caused by overcapacity on the supply side of clean energy and the lure of cheap shale gas," BNEF chief executive Michael Liebreich said. "But this is playing out against the falling costs of renewable energy and all of the technologies required to integrate it into our energy system. What it suggests is that we are beyond the tipping point towards a cleaner energy future."
Bloomberg's predictions come from its "Global Energy and Emissions Model," which, BNEF said, integrates all the main determinates of the energy future, "including economic prosperity, global and regional demand growth, the evolution of technology costs, likely developments in policies to combat climate change, and trends in fossil fuel markets."
These factors work to form the "New Normal," "Barrier Busting" and "Traditional Territory" scenarios. BNEF said the New Normal scenario is the most likely and its projected clean energy investment in 2030 ($630 billion in nominal terms) represents an increase of more than three times the investments made in renewable energy capacity built in 2012.
This projection is 35% higher than the numbers its Global Energy and Emissions Model produced a year ago.

Utsav, as the name suggests, it gives us the feeling of celebrating any festival there :) From street food to chinese to continental to south Indian , name the food and they have it :) A place for pure vegetarians . invite a friend there , They will fall in love not only with the food there, but, also with you for inviting them there. They have a huge variety. Taste lingers for long. Don't wait. Rush and have .
February 18,2013
the food here is still decent, but the place seems to have run down a lot.
they also increased the prices i think because a meal for 2 cost us close to Rs.1,000, which is a lot for vegetarian.
Overall i think if they get their act together they can still salvage the place, but if they continue like this, its only going to go from average to bad and worse.

The worst restaurant EVER!
Awarded the best restaurant in Hyderabad? Really?! Then I'm sure hyederabad is the worst place to live in for people who like to cherish their food.
Food - Cold, tastless and bland
Staff - Arrogant.
Ambience - Bad - Old linens, fungus infested walls.
Value for money - Negative.
This place spoilt my new years. I went to this pathetic place with my family for a dinner buffet. The spread looked OK and my parents were very doubtful about the quality of the food but decided to give it a try. The food was worse than our expectations - Cold as ice and tasteless. My sister ended up eating NOTHING at all.The fruits were sour and stale and so was the ice cream being served. When we complait about the food being cold the reply we got was "You are expected to stir the food beofre serving it". If I'm supposed to do that, then why in the world are they charging me a "service tax"? To give me bland, tasteless food and an arrogant staff? We tried to speak with the manager about it, and he walked on saying it was not his problem and he could not do anything about it. One of the waiters was also horribly rude and acted like he owned the place. These people practically ruined my evening(and my new year). This place is fit only for people who have no taste buds and self respect.
I would not go back to this place even if someone paid me to have food their. This place disappointed my family and gave me such a bitter experience that we would hate to attend any restuarant started by the Biligiri Hotel group. This restaurant should surely get a visit from the food inspector. I wonder how old and stale is the food these people are serving.
Utsav WAS festival- no longer
When Utsav opened in Secunderabad, people from far off used to throng the place, they did live up to the expectations, now after they opened another outlet Moksh, the entire concentration moved there, hence the Utsav has lost its charm. I agree with the previous reviewer that the linen and other things are worn out, not expected from the stature of Utsav.

It's hard to believe, but it's time to start discussing plans for your student's 2013-14 housing. The $200 housing deposits for on-campus housing is due no later than February 26. This means you and your son or daughter need to start thinking about if another year on-campus is for them.
Some things to think about as you make this decision:
- Studies have consistently shown that students who live in on-campus housing during their time at college have more satisfaction with their college experience, more interaction with peers, a higher level of involvement in co-curricular activities and greater interaction with faculty and staff. Additionally, students who interact with faculty and staff more outside the classroom have higher rates of persistence in college and ultimately, in obtaining a degree.
- On-campus housing at Binghamton provides a variety of options including: traditional corridor-style with community bathrooms, corridor-style with semi-private bathrooms, suite-style with 4-6 students in double rooms sharing a common living room and bathroom, 5-6 student flats with semi-private bathrooms and more independent living in our apartment community. Both traditional and apartments offer single options as well.
- Binghamton's residence halls offer support for academic and personal growth:
- Every residential college/community has a Faculty Master; a tenured faculty member who can offer academic guidance, support and direction, regardless of major or class year.
- Each residence hall is overseen by a full-time professional Resident Director who lives in an apartment in the hall. Many of these staff members have graduate degrees in college student development.
- Each floor or apartment building has a Resident Assistant; a peer who is specially trained to serve as a peer mentor. They work to develop a sense of community by enforcing policy, assisting in crisis management, and planning fun and educational activities for their residents.
- Several communities offer community-based courses, tutoring in the residential communities, easy access to the Discovery Centers for guidance from a peer academic advisor.
- Additionally, each residential college/community works closely with a counselor from the University Counseling Center who serves as a liaison for any resident student issue or concern.
- Living on campus allows more direct access to University emergency personnel, such as the University Police Department and Harpur's Ferry Ambulance service.
- On-campus students don't have to navigate public transportation or hunt for parking just to attend classes.
- Residence hall staff provide opportunities in the living areas to socialize with peers, attend educational programs on a variety of topics and interact with faculty and staff in a laid back and casual atmosphere.
- Students living on campus don't have to worry about getting to the grocery store or honing their cooking skills; they have access to quick, nutritious and varied menu options in our on-campus dining centers located throughout campus.
If your student is still interested in moving off-campus, don't forget to consider:
- The safety of the area (crime statistics, local police presence, lighting, parking, locks, etc.). We encourage you to drive through the neighborhood to see where an apartment is before signing the lease.
- Upkeep of the rental unit (emergency maintenance, cleaning, trash, regular maintenance, pest control, etc.)
- Stipulations of the lease agreement (including late payments, method of payment, etc.)
- Utility costs and how they will be divided if sharing space with other students (water, heat, cable, trash pick-up, etc.)
- Transportation access and cost (public bus, OCCT blue buses, personal car, gas, parking, etc.)
- Healthy eating (cooking facilities, shopping and cost of foods, etc.)

The only way Geaorgia goes is if they beat LSU, which will not happen.
If Alabama plays LSU in the NC game, then there will not be a representative from the SEC. If they dont play LSU, then it will be Bama, as the Sugar will pick the highest BCS ranked team.
Definitely need another backup safety, that Oliver guy SUCKED, brought back memories of David.
It is the last exit when heading west on I-10 over the Atchafalaya Basin. Or the 1st when heading east.
sorry I meant google
You need to view it at you tube and log in to their site or login with a goggle account to view the video
I apologize for that, but it still doesnt call for him to speak that way of someone he knows nothing about. At the time I did not see that Ivory was placed on IR. But Im sure if they decided to put him on IR it had nothing to do with heart. The injury must have been bad enough that it wont heal anytime soon. But its bs for people to come on here and post that crap about ANYONE!
Blackdog if you are going to yell and cry about a player, at least get your facts straight. Ivory is NOT on IR. Plus I believe you are flat out wrong about him. Noone on the team runs with as much heart as him. Now he may be another player who is just injury prone. How does that differentiate him from Reggie? Hes been hurt every year and missed games. Or what about PT? Missed 9 games this year and now a tenth. Missed a few last year also. Ivory is running the ball pretty well when in there, plus you dont know what the coaches were doing. They might have held him out after he hurt his foot. May be nothing, but they cant chance it with PT having problems again.
Oh and his name isnt Ron, its Rion. Look at his shirt
Exactly, it is bone. Once the bone is healed then it is good to go and typically it is stronger then before.
Carney should have just been a consultant like last year
PUP = 6 weeks
What game were you watching?
I don't think so yet. But I do believe that Miles needs to open it up a little bit.
One thing for sure is that they need to lose the play shet that has the option listed on it. LSU has the worst looking option play in the country. I would bet if you added all the option plays over the last 2 seasons, they would have a negative average.
Dayspast, have you been watching the Saints the last 2 years? I mean really? Garret has never been hot and cold, and definitely not mostly cold. The kid had only missed 2 kicks since he got in the league. I would say he also earned the right to have one bad day. But I agree if it continues then we have a problem. I say give him the benefit of the doubt this game.As for the drop in the end zone, that would have been a great catch. Sometimes it just doesn't work out. I sure ain't worried about our offense.
So when did they start paying that quick buck, and apparently enough of them for someone to retire early?
You are an idiot, enough said...........
If anyone's ignorance is really starting to show it's yours.
He deserved everything he got and a whole lot more. Lethal injection was wayyyy too humane for this bastard. He should have received some of the same things he doled out and then should have fried or hung with a dry sponge or dry rope.
Yes he should have made the kick. But really it should never have came to that. The game plan was way too vanilla. At times it looked like Carl Smith was calling the plays out there. Plus, cant we ever get a 3 and out? They have been very rare all season.
