from Bolton, Ontario
I bought this ring as a Christmas gift for my mother, who has wanted a Canadian diamond ever since they first appeared on TSC a few years ago. This is a beautiful ring because the setting is unique and suitable as a right hand ring, which is exactly what she wanted. The diamond is bright and beautiful; nothing compares with Canadian Diamonds. This will not be my last purchase.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I think things will pickup after the combine. The fo needs to get a handle on our key FA and see what funds they'll have. Just my guess
He got essentailly $9MM guaranteed (including $540,000 last year) and about $4.5MM this coming year. Then up to 6MM the next two seasons. After that, all bets are off.
Lifetime member of the "specific element" and proud of it.
Bennett is also the best TE FA this year too. Our receiving targets aren't coming cheap.
The Giants initial counter should be less than they know Cruz will accept, but not insulting.
and then it goes back and forth until both sides can live with it or it blows up.
I am always pissed if my first offer is accepted...I instantly know I could have done better
"I was disappointed that Eli did not lead his team in that brawl. I'm not saying I would have completely lost respect for him as a leader if I were on the squad but that kind of suspect behavior would definitely have me eyeing him sideways"...elitikistrahan
So both sides agreed to disagree and walked away.
I would assume if they were relatively close, let's say 2-3 million per year it isn't overly significant and they could continue talking. But 5+ is a non starter.
But Reese has made it very clear with his own FAs that he offers them what he believes to be a fair deal and if the players don't take it, he lets them walk.

Lyme junior all-star Troy Wilson gets a lot of credit for the Indians Frontier League success this year, and rightly so because he leads the entire league in scoring and was named the D Division MVP.
Yet, its the play of several blue-collar kids who do a lot of the dirty work that has helped the Indians claim a double championship.
Wilson scored 32 points and regular-season champion Lyme dominated the backboards en route to a 64-56 win over No. 2 Sackets Harbor in the D Division championship game Monday night at Jefferson Community College.
Senior Darius Reed contributed 16 points and senior Timmy Morrow added 13 points, including the biggest basket of the game in the final minute, as the Indians (14-4) gained their first playoff title in 20 years.
Five different Lyme players grabbed at least six rebounds, led by Kody Goutremout with 11, as they denied the Patriots (12-6) many second chances while giving their own club numerous second and third opportunities.
That was an emphasis before the game because they had hurt us on the offensive glass the last game, said Lyme coach Leo Wilson. Weve had other guys really step up this year and make key contributions. The kids have really worked hard and helped us accomplish our goal to win the regular season and playoffs.
Troy Wilson, who made four 3-pointers and also grabbed eight rebounds, said the key to the championship run has been working hard every day in practice. We play together really well, and everybody out there is doing something to help us win.
Morrow, a senior forward, is one of those unsung heroes that does his job without much fanfare. He grabbed seven rebounds and his 3-point play with 44.2 seconds left in the game helped Lyme stop the Sackets Harbor momentum that had been building throughout the fourth quarter, allowing the Patriots to move within two points.
With Sackets Harbor keying on Troy Wilson, Morrow found himself with the ball 15 feet from the basket with the Indians clinging to a 58-56 lead. Morrow spun to the basket and missed his initial shot. But he went after the rebound, secured it, and made the follow shot. Then he converted the free throw.
Lymes defense then forced a couple of missed 3-pointers, and Troy Wilson hit three free throws to finish off the Lyme win.
Said Morrow of the key play: I got the ball and just went up. When I missed I was really mad and I knew I had to have the rebounds. I just got it and threw it back up and it went in.
Coach Wilson said Morrow and the other front-line kids are battlers. They dont do anything fancy but they just get the job done.
Gunnar Blank also contributed six rebounds and Reed had eight for Lyme.
Senior Zach Rousseau kept the Patriots in the game with a superb 27-point performance.
Zach was great tonight, said Sackets Harbor coach Jeff Robbins. And I thought my kids really competed. But give Lyme credit. They pounded the boards and gave themselves a lot of extra chances.
Lyme led 44-33 midway through the third quarter. But Rousseau scored eight points in the final three minutes to get Sackets Harbor within 47-43 at the quarter break.
Sackets Harbors Ryan Allen then converted a runner in the lane to cut the deficit to 58-56 with 1:16 remaining.
After coach Wilson called a timeout, Morrow delivered his biggest play of the year.
When they got within two, I wasnt sure how the kids would handle the pressure, he said. But theyve been gaining confidence toward the end of the season, and hopefully that will carry over to the sectionals.

MASSENA - Three hockey teams from the Massena-Potsdam area are planning major road trips after skating to New York state Tier II championships Sunday.
The Potsdam Ice Storm downed Lysander 2-1 Sunday night in front of a big and boisterous hometown crown at Pine Street Arena to capture the girls U16 Tier II state title and earn a trip to San Jose, Calif., for the nationals in early April.
They will be joined on their California vacation by the St. Lawrence Thunder girls U14 team in San Jose, and the St. Lawrence Thunder boys U14 team are headed to Charlotte, N.C., after winning the bantam Tier II state championship in Amherst.
The Ice Storm trailed 1-0 in the championship game, but a Shannon Casey marker with just over 3 minutes left in the third period gave the Potsdam team another appearance in the national tournament. They will play Maryland on April 3, Princeton on April 4 and Michigan on April 5.
Potsdam had advanced to the championship game with a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory over Brewster in the cross over game earlier on Sunday.
They downed the Buffalo Stars 5-0, Lysander 6-3 and Webster 8-0 in opening round play.
The St. Lawrence Thunder boys U14 team, the silver medalists in the national tournament last season, advanced with a double overtime win over the Rochester Grizzlies in Amherst.
The Thunder had advanced to the title game by downing Adirondack 3-0 in the semi-finals, revenge against the Northern Zone team that had had downed the Thunder in the championship of the sectional tournament.
The St. Lawrence Thunder, sponsored by Massena Minor Hockey, had breezed through the preliminary round. The blanked the Westchester Vipers 5-0, dropped Cheektowaga 5-2 and outscored the Auburn Ice Hawks 11-2.
The St. Lawrence Thunder girls U14 team rode a stingy defensive effort to a state crown, surendering just three goals in five games that featured a 1-0 shutout over the Hamburg Hawks in the state championship game, a rematch against A Buffalo-area tean they have defeated in opening round play. The Thunder had advanced to the title game by downing Troy Albany 4-1 in the semi-final contest Sunday.
The Thunder had opened round wins over the West Seneca Wings, 3-1; Suracuse Blazers, 1-0: and Hamburg Hawks 6-1 in a tournament played in Clinton.

Arcade Pub., 1998 - 86 Seiten
BAAL, which renowned playwright Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) wrote when he was in college, is the provocative story of a drunken, ruthless, womanizing poet and singer, a desperate antihero in the tradition of Villon and Rimbaud. The NEW YORK TIMES called the first American production strong stuff, both horrible and fascinating.

Classics Faculty, Students Really Dig Their Work in Turkey
A Case Western Reserve University assistant professor has turned the rugged terrain of Turkey's Taurus Mountains into a hands-on learning center for archaeological fieldwork.
With the help of former visiting assistant professor Andrea De Giorgi, now at Rutgers University, Paul Iversen of the Department of Classics and a team of four students over the summer searched for antiquities, some as old as 4,000 years, in an area around the modern town of Gönen, north of the city of Isparta, where ancient Konane was situated. Many of these items were left behind by the Perisans, Lydians, Phrygians, Greeks, Macedonians, Romans and other conquerors who made their way between Europe and Asia.
The faculty and students also were a part of an interdisciplinary and multinational team of the Isparta Archaeological Survey (IAS) project.
The team found pottery fragments, ancient glass or metal work, bones with carvings, and even a coin, which date from 2000 B.C. to the Ottoman period. Also discovered were 35 inscriptions that include two new Roman milestones and a dedication to the Roman emperors Severus and Galerius, which Iversen is studying.
The students, Nathan Bensing, Jeremy Ondo, Philip Trochowski and Anna Wieser, gained field experience in drawing, tagging, cleaning and documenting, including photographing, their finds. With the help of Ann Holstein from Case Western Reserve's Kelvin Smith Library, students had the opportunity to learn the rudiments of ArcGIS technology to analyze collected materials.
The researchers will publish the first season's results in Colloquium Anatolian, the journal of the Turkish Institute of Archaeology.

Including the emergency relocation, Bobby has now secured several sites for us, and each time the process has been pretty slick in terms of suitability, viewing and contract set-up.Bobby is quick and enthusiastic, but he recognises when the client needs a bit of time to think, and when I've needed that, he has completely understood.He has played quite a key role in what has been an important new venture for us this year.
Dave Snutch
Regional Director
Dave needed to source a suitable office that could accommodate 15 of his employees. Bobby helped him secure an ideal space in just two weeks, with his staff moving in just five weeks later.
Since 2011, we've been the key partner in assisting Dave with all eight of his flexible office searches providing help and expertise along the way.
I was extremely happy with the number of options made available to us in all the areas we proposed. I was very impressed with the speed that viewing appointments were made, and the scheduling allowed me to move from one to another, using my time efficiently.

Head of Broadcasting
Leigh was looking for an office space in specific areas of the City of London that would suit him and 16 of his staff.
They found their ideal space on King William Street, London EC4 just two months after first calling us.
The thought of searching for a facility in Aberdeen from the other end of the country seemed quite daunting! I found Instant Offices' web site, which was clear, informative and easy to understand (some of the others were confusing).After telling Lucy Tillett what I needed, I was incredibly impressed with her speed of action and direct support. Setting up the viewings was very easy, and everything went like clockwork during two days of visits.Using Instant Offices has been really helpful and straightforward.
Jim Worland

Jim called us looking for a private office and a storage space in Aberdeen. Lucy arranged viewings the day after receiving the enquiry, and a great solution was soon found.
I've found working with Instant Offices to be very professional and efficient. They took time to understand my requirements and quickly introduced me to the people who could assist me. I look forward to working with you in the future.As my business expands globally, Instant Offices will become an important part of my team.

Read: Did Traverse City Hurt Christian Thomas?
Coming into the season there was talk that Christian Thomas could contend for the OHL scoring title.
Thomas has eight goals and seven assists in 15 games this season while the leader in the OHL, Tanner Pearson, has 19 goals and 37 assists in 25 games.
At Hockey's Future, they list Thomas as someone "trailing the rush" this season.
The most likely cause for his struggles however, is a loss of confidence stemming from a poor showing he had for the Rangers in the 2011 Traverse City Prospects Tournament
Thomas had one goal and four assists to tie for the team lead during Traverse City.
They write that Thomas has recently displayed a new found focus in his game.
The expectations were high for him but I thought that he handled himself okay during the tournament. He wasn't great, or as good as Ryan Bourque or Carl Hagelin, in Traverse City, but his talent definitely showed. Being invited to the Team Canada camp should give him confidence and hopefully he can play well, make the team and put up a great second half for the Generals.

Last Time Out:W, 76-73 at Seton Hall, 1-28-14
In a game that came down to the final minute, Marissa Janning's 28 points helped the Creighton women's basketball team outlasted Seton Hall, 76-73.
Creighton and Seton Hall battled through 15 lead changes (including eight in the second half) as the Bluejays moved to 13-8 on the season and 7-2 through the first round of BIG EAST conference play.
Down 4-0 in the opening moments, the Bluejays appeared to seize control of the game with a 12-0 run. Janning knocked down a pull-up jumped to get Creighton on the board, then junior Sammy Jensen delivered from long-range to give the Bluejays their first lead of the game (5-4). Senior McKenzie Fujan put a layup and a 12-foot jumper around a trey from Janning to make it 12-4 with 13:47 remaining in the first half.
Coming out of the first media timeout, Seton Hall scored and forced Creighton into three consecutive turnovers to knot the game at 12-12 in just 58 seconds. The Pirates' run didn't stop until Seton Hall held a 19-14 lead (10:34). Creighton responded with eight straight to reclaim the lead, 22-19. Trailing 27-26 with just over three minutes remaining, Creighton made a final push to take a 36-32 lead in at the break.
After trading shots through the first ten minutes of the second half, Creighton used an 11-3 run to claim the lead for good. Down 51-49, Janning got the rally started with a trifecta from the right corner. Senior Sarah Nelson and junior Alexis Akin-Otiko knocked down two free throws each Buckets by Janning and Nelson pushed Creighton's lead to six at 60-54 (7:18).
Seton Hall closed the gap to 62-60, but back-to-back three-balls from Fujan and Janning appeared to put the game out of reach with 2:56 showing on the clock. Once more the Pirates made it a one possession game with a 5-0 run, but Janning delivered a running layup to put Creighton back up five (70-65) with 1:29 remaining. Fujan hit four free-throws down the stretch to secure the win.
Janning's 28 points led all scorers, while Fujan finished with 16 points. Nelson delivered a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds, while Akin-Otiko rounded out the Jays in double-digits with 10 points.
Creighton vs. Villanova Series:
The Bluejays hold a 1-0 series edge on the Wildcats courtest of Creighton's 65-58 win on Dec. 28 in Omaha. Saturday will be the Bluejays first trip to Villanova.
About Villanova
Villanova Head Coach: Harry Perretta (Lycoming, 1978)
Record of 653-409 in 36 seasons, all at Villanova.
Perretta led Villanova to its 10th NCAA Tournament appearance last year, the Wildcats 11th postseason appearance in the last 14 years.
The 21 wins represents the 15th 20-win season for Perretta and the Wildcats.
On Nov. 12, 2011, he earned his 600th career victory with a 76-47 victory at Iona. Becoming the 35th coach in the history of women's basketball at any level to reach the 600-win plateau, including the 22nd Division I coach to accomplish the feat.
He is also just the seventh Division I coach to win 600 games at one school.
Wildcats and Bluejays First Meeting, 12-28-13 - Creighton W, 65-58
Trailing 29-26 at halftime the Bluejays opened the second half with an 11-0 run over the first 5:42 to build a 37-29 lead.
Creighton pushed its second half advantage to as much as 13 points (54-41 with 6:25 remaining) and held off a late surge by the Wildcats to earn a victory in its first conference game as a member of the BIG EAST.
The Bluejays shot 56% from the field in the second period (15-of-27), including a perfect 6-of-6 by senior McKenzie Fujan.
The trio of Fujan, Marissa Janning and Sarah Nelson combined to score 51 points in the game, led by 19 from Janning.
Scouting Villanova (15-5, 5-4 BIG EAST)
After dropping three straight conference games through the middle of January, Villanova has resbounded to soundly defeat Xavier (61-32) and Georgetown (59-49) in its last two contests.
Villonova is the best team in the nation at ball security, committing just 9.1 turnovers per game this season. In the Wildcats' win over Georgetown they committed a season-low three turnovers. Conversely Villanova forced Georgetown into 21 turnovers.
The Wildcats struggle on the glass, allowing the Hoyas to grab 60 rebounds and have also been struggling from the field. Over its last four games Villanova has shot over 40% from the field just once.
Senior guard Devon Kane leads the Wildcats in scoring with 235 points (11.8 ppg). Despite Villanova's challenges on the glass, center Emily Leer and reserve Taylor Holeman can be a force in the middle with 37 combined blocks.
Keys to the Game w/Villanova:
Opening Round of BIG EAST Play Yields 7-2 mark.
Creighton's win at Seton Hall wrapped up the Bluejays first trip through the BIG EAST as the Bluejays sit in a tie for second place, one game behind conference leader St. John's (8-1). The Bluejays have just four road contests remaining: Villanova (2/1), DePaul (2/9), Xavier (2/18) & Marquette (3/1).
Janning Takes BIG EAST's Top Spot in Scoring
Averaging 20.7 ppg through the first round of BIG EAST action, Marissa Janning has moved to the top of the scoring ranks. Janning is averaging better than two points more than Marquette's Katherine Plouffe (18.6), who held onto the top spot through the first four weeks of conference play.
Sometimes it IS How You Start
When the Creighton men's basketball team made its trip to Villanova on Jan. 20 the Bluejays opened play against the #4 Wildcats by hitting their first nine treys to bounce out to a 27-8 lead.
Already this season the women's team has fired up 43 trifectas earlier in the season.

Link: How Realistic is Mike Vick Coming to the Jets?
While Corey might have been talking about it for weeks now on the podcast, a rumor was published this week that the Jets might try and go after Mike Vick this offseason to be next year's starter for the Jets at the quarterback spot. In Newsday, Bob Glauber writes about the plausibility of Mike Vick joining the Jets in 2013.
And though Vick isn't saying publicly where he'll end up, he is saying he believes he has many more years ahead of him as an NFL starter.
"I'm not a backup. Just being honest, just being candid. I'm a full-fledged starter," Vick told PhillyMag.com this week. "Whatever happens, wherever I end up, they're going to get 110 percent. You're going to get the same thing out of me that you got the last two, three years and that's 110-percent effort and a guy that's confident in his abilities to play and win. I want to start."
Vick would certainly be an upgrade to Sanchez, who has committed an NFL-high 50 turnovers over the last two seasons combined. But Vick still doesn't solve the Jets' problems long-term at the position. And with his history of injuries, the risk-reward ratio simply isn't in the team's favor. Consider: Only once in Vick's career has he started every game, and that was in 2006 …
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comGlauber makes a great point that while there's been talk that the Jets could be interested in Mike Vick, it's important to wait and see who's running the organization first before jumping to whether or not the Jets will be in the Mike Vick sweepstakes. Whoever is running the organization in two months, if they can look at the roster and see the addition of Mike Vick as something that makes them competitive and viable for the 2013 season, then maybe they will in fact make the move. But as Bob Glauber points out, making Vick the starter will also bring an almost inevitable risk of him getting injured and missing time during the season. While Vick will always be a mobile quarterback his line in Philadelphia didn't do him any favors either. I'd want to study the matter more, but I almost feel like the Jets offensive line might be able to do a better job of protecting Vick in the pocket than the Eagles did, so that might tone down some of the hits he would take in a Jets uniform.

Users of Apple's Mac line of desktop computers are pretty disappointed by the lack of attention being given to the Mac Pro and the iMac at this week's Worldwide Developer Conference. The Mac Pro only received a minor spec update, and it even lost its designation as "new" in the Mac Pro online store. The iMac didn't even see as minor an update as the Mac Pro's.
Pre-conference rumors had suggested that both the Mac Pro and the iMac were in for some big changes, including a Retina-fueled refresh.
Apple the manufacturer of iPhone 4S and iPad3 seems to be making a big effort to quiet the mob that fears for the life of their desktop computers. One concerned user emailed Apple CEO Tim Cook who responded: "Our pro customers are really important to us...don't worry as we're working on something really great for later next year."
Reports by Forbes and New York Times columnist David Pogue corroborated the news that Mac Pro and iMac updates are coming next year. The information was provided directly by an Apple spokesperson who said that new models and new designs of the Mac Pro, as well as the iMac desktop, are in the works and will likely be released in 2013.

Souza named POW
South Dakota State women's tennis student-athlete Beatriz Souza was named The Summit League's Player of the Week after an undefeated weekend.
The Jackrabbits played three meets in Waterloo, Iowa, and finished with three wins. SDSU defeated Upper Iowa (7-0), Northern Iowa (4-3) and Green Bay (7-0).
Souza teamed with Florencia Magni at No. 3 doubles and played No. 4 singles and finished the weekend 6-0.
Souza opened the weekend with an 8-0 doubles win versus Meredith Worrall and Laura Alvarez of Upper Iowa and defeated Rosangel Epinoza 6-0, 6-1 in singles.
The most important win of the weekend came at UNI, as the Panthers won the team doubles point despite Souza and Magni defeating Lindsay Cayton and Katie Hammond in a tiebreaker (7-5). Because of the doubles outcome, the Jacks needed to win four of the six singles matches. And that is exactly what happened. Souza was pushed by Jessica King, but won the first-set tiebreaker 7-6 (7-5) and won the second set by one break of serve (6-4).
In the weekend finale, Souza and Magni finished undefeated with an 8-6 win versus Stephanie Londre and Rachael Menos of Green Bay. In singles, Souza was a straight-set winner for the third time, defeating Rebecca Nelson 6-4, 6-3.
"Bea played some dominant tennis this weekend and definitely earned the recognition," head coach Michael Engdahl said. "It was a great week for Bea and the team. The girls have been working hard and their hard work is starting to pay off. It is awesome to see Bea and Jackrabbit tennis recognized for the things that are going on in our program."
The complete release is available on The Summit League website.
Souza joins Ffion Davies, who was named Player of the Week on Jan. 28, as the second SDSU women's tennis player to be honored this season.
SDSU is back in action on Friday at Creighton. Start time is set for 6 p.m. in Omaha, Neb.

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Preston, the son of divorced parents, was raised by his evangelical Christian mother in rural Alabama. He always knew that he was different, and other students knew it as well. Throughout school, Preston was taunted, harassed, and bullied almost incessantly, and not just from students; some teachers even joined the discrimination. When his mother found out that Preston was gay, she had him exorcised, then kicked him out and attempted to remove the family's affiliation with him, including all financial support.However, Preston took those experiences and converted them into the foundation of his determination to protect other students from suffering as he did. Very active and politically involved, Preston has worked with GLSEN in various capacities, most recently as a GLSEN Media Ambassador to help promote safer schools. Preston has also started a mentoring community on Facebook called the Alabama LGBT Mentors to help support LGBT youth in that state.Preston attends The George Washington University, in Washington, DC, where he is double majoring in International Affairs and Spanish. He describes his life goal as working to fight all manners of oppression in order that every individual has the opportunity to achieve his or her own happiness.

42 U.S. Code § 7651i - Election for additional sources
(a) Applicability
The owner or operator of any unit that is not, nor will become, an affected unit under section 7651b (e), 7651c, or 7651d of this title, or that is a process source under subsection (d) of this section, that emits sulfur dioxide, may elect to designate that unit or source to become an affected unit and to receive allowances under this subchapter. An election shall be submitted to the Administrator for approval, along with a permit application and proposed compliance plan in accordance with section 7651g of this title. The Administrator shall approve a designation that meets the requirements of this section, and such designated unit, or source, shall be allocated allowances, and be an affected unit for purposes of this subchapter.
(b) Establishment of baseline
The baseline for a unit designated under this section shall be established by the Administrator by regulation, based on fuel consumption and operating data for the unit for calendar years 1985, 1986, and 1987, or if such data is not available, the Administrator may prescribe a baseline based on alternative representative data.
(c) Emission limitations
Annual emissions limitations for sulfur dioxide shall be equal to the product of the baseline multiplied by the lesser of the unit's 1985 actual or allowable emission rate in lbs/mmBtu, or, if the unit did not operate in 1985, by the lesser of the unit's actual or allowable emission rate for a calendar year after 1985 (as determined by the Administrator), divided by 2,000.
(d) Process sources
Not later than 18 months after November 15, 1990, the Administrator shall establish a program under which the owner or operator of a process source that emits sulfur dioxide may elect to designate that source as an affected unit for the purpose of receiving allowances under this subchapter. The Administrator shall, by regulation, define the sources that may be designated; specify the emissions limitation; specify the operating, emission baseline, and other data requirements; prescribe CEMS or other monitoring requirements; and promulgate permit, reporting, and any other requirements necessary to implement such a program.
(e) Allowances and permits
The Administrator shall issue allowances to an affected unit under this section in an amount equal to the emissions limitation calculated under subsection (c) or (d) of this section, in accordance with section 7651b of this title. Such allowance may be used in accordance with, and shall be subject to, the provisions of section 7651b of this title. Affected sources under this section shall be subject to the requirements of sections 7651b, 7651g, 7651j, 7651k, 7651l, and 7651m of this title.
(f) Limitation
Any unit designated under this section shall not transfer or bank allowances produced as a result of reduced utilization or shutdown, except that, such allowances may be transferred or carried forward for use in subsequent years to the extent that the reduced utilization or shutdown results from the replacement of thermal energy from the unit designated under this section, with thermal energy generated by any other unit or units subject to the requirements of this subchapter, and the designated unit's allowances are transferred or carried forward for use at such other replacement unit or units. In no case may the Administrator allocate to a source designated under this section allowances in an amount greater than the emissions resulting from operation of the source in full compliance with the requirements of this chapter. No such allowances shall authorize operation of a unit in violation of any other requirements of this chapter.
(g) Implementation
The Administrator shall issue regulations to implement this section not later than eighteen months after November 15, 1990.
(h) Small diesel refineries
The Administrator shall issue allowances to owners or operators of small diesel refineries who produce diesel fuel after October 1, 1993, meeting the requirements of subsection [1] 7545(i) of this title.
(1) Allowance period
Allowances may be allocated under this subsection only for the period from October 1, 1993, through December 31, 1999.
(2) Allowance determination
The number of allowances allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall equal the annual number of pounds of sulfur dioxide reduction attributable to desulfurization by a small refinery divided by 2,000. For the purposes of this calculation, the concentration of sulfur removed from diesel fuel shall be the difference between 0.274 percent (by weight) and 0.050 percent (by weight).
(3) Refinery eligibility
As used in this subsection, the term "small refinery" shall mean a refinery or portion of a refinery—
(A) which, as of November 15, 1990, has bona fide crude oil throughput of less than 18,250,000 barrels per year, as reported to the Department of Energy, and
(4) Limitation per refinery
The maximum number of allowances that can be annually allocated to a small refinery pursuant to this subsection is one thousand and five hundred.
(5) Limitation on total
In any given year, the total number of allowances allocated pursuant to this subsection shall not exceed thirty-five thousand.
(6) Required certification
The Administrator shall not allocate any allowances pursuant to this subsection unless the owner or operator of a small diesel refinery shall have certified, at a time and in a manner prescribed by the Administrator, that all motor diesel fuel produced by the refinery for which allowances are claimed, including motor diesel fuel for off-highway use, shall have met the requirements of subsection [1] 7545(i) of this title.
[1] So in original. Probably should be "section".

Clippers 97, Sacramento 87
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sat, 12/08/07, 04:31am:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
For the first time in a long while, the Clips are able to play off Chris Kaman to create a free-flowing offense in the halfcourt - similar to what they were able to accomplish in the first half against Milwaukee last week.
Tonight, Kaman establishes himself in the first half in the post - and well off it - so Sacramento has no choice after halftime but to send double-teams at him.
The best set of the night:
[3rd, 7:23] The Clips are down five. Kaman blocks Mikki Moore's layup attempt on the other end. Knight brings it up in the halfcourt, with Thomas, Maggette, and Ross scattered along the perimeter, and Kaman posting up high against Miller on the right side.
The ball goes into Kaman, Ross slides along the baseline to the left side, Maggette shifts up, and Knight moves low to set a down screen for Thomas to free him up. Beno Udrih falls off Knight to double Kaman. Knight's screen ain't much, but it's enough to give Thomas some open space near the left elbow, and now Ron Artest has to decide if he's going to pick up Thomas or stay on Maggette in the perimeter.
So already you see how the Clips' motion in the halfcourt is compromising Sacramento's defense - and all it took was an entry pass, a pissant little screen from 4' 11" Brevin Knight, and some well-timed movement. This isn't to impugn Sacramento's defense; it's just that, you know, basketball isn't as hard a game as the Clips have been making it look for the past couple of weeks.
Kaman holds it against Miller in the mid-post right side. When Udrih comes and Thomas finds that open space at the elbow, Chris kicks it over to Thomas. Artest - who's still an amazing defender if completely psychotic - sees where Chris is going before Chris does and he attentively closes on Thomas. Thomas wastes no time in immediately darting the ball over to an open Maggette. But Udrih closes quickly on Corey; so Chris reposts one-on-one against Miller at the same spot as before.
With Maggette well-placed now, you can see Udrih hedging: Does he double low again on Kaman and leave Maggette open along the arc? Or does he give Chris a one-on-one against Miller, whom he's been eating alive all night? Eventually Udrih makes the decision to double Kaman again.
Now Chris has a few choices: [1] Try to beat the double-team. Reasonable enough. [2] Kick it back to Corey, who has moved near the top of the arc. [3] Hit Thomas - who is diving through the lane because Artest has to patrol everything from the stripe and above.
Chris makes a great pass to a cutting Thomas. Moore collapses on Thomas, but it's too late. Thomas kisses the layup off the glass and goes to the line for the traditional three-point play.
The success here is born out of variety. There aren't any bad decisions for Chris to make because all three options are high-percentage shots. When left wide open, Corey can nail that 22-footer; Though we often forget - and so does he - Thomas can move off the ball and be a slasher. And needless to say, Chris against a Miller-Udrih double-team is not a bad choice either.
There are some other promising indicators: Mobley looks like he's healing; Maggette has a tough cover with Artest, but manages to grind out a productive night even though it won't go down on his reel; Patterson approximates a productive offensive option; and Knight is hitting that open 15-footer finally; Even Thomas expands his game - he's solid on the glass and makes some quality passes; Thornton still needs some polishing, but it's fun to watch that quick release of his.

OK call me whatever name you wish but after watching the New
York Rangers rally from down 3-1 to the Pittsburgh Penguins, I can say I do
believe this team can defeat the Montreal Canadians and whoever they face from
the western conference.
I can say that because after 40 plus years rooting for the
Rangers that this team is actually different from Ranger teams of past days. In
the past this team would lead the world in how to break the hearts of their
fans. Whether it was Bobby Orr's goal in 1972 or JD's wonky groin in 1979,
Ranger fans got used to seeing hearts break and dreams burst.
Go ahead and call the Canadian the favorites if you must but
I am going to dare to dream that 8 wins from now the Rangers will be raising
the 2014 Stanley Cup. It goes deeper than a red hot Henrik Lundqvist or a
rebirth of 34 year old Brad Richards.
As much as you might not like to say this but the unexpected
passing of France St. Louis did more for the Rangers than any words out of a
coach or on a blackboard could ever do. It united the team in a way that you
don't normally expect to see happen.
The unexpected death of a parent in many ways was a wakeup
call for a bunch of 20something players and how quickly life can throw you a
terrible curve. One thing when you have talented young athletes is that for the
most part they haven't had to deal with the realities of life. Most still have
mom and dad around so to see Frances St. Louis pass away at 63 was a first for
many of them and odds are that it was also one of the biggest shocks they as
young men have experienced.
If we think about the tragedy and how Marty St. Louis has
handled himself has been a great life lesson for his younger teammates. And as
we all witnessed we saw a change in how the Rangers played, presented
themselves and looked out for each other.
In the Army when you work for a leader who you love and
respect then you will go to hell and back for him. You do that because you know
that he isn't the guy who is next to you or behind you. He is the guy who is in
the front encouraging you to follow him to victory.
That is why the Rangers won games 5, 6, and 7 because the
younger Rangers watched 39 year old Marty St. Louis get out on the ice and lead
by example. The other Rangers already respected St. Louis as a player but what
he did and how he acted in the face of a tragedy raised their respect of him to
another level. Comcast TV Runs the NHL (But you already knew that)
As many of you may have known the St. Louis family had
scheduled Mrs. Louis's funeral for Saturday and when the NHL first scheduled
Game 1 it caused a conflict so the Rangers requested that the game be moved to
nighttime. Of course NBC showing how much they care about their players, their
fans and the traditions of the sport said no.
Why you ask? Why so NBC could have a hockey game to use to
promote the running of the Preakness Horse Race. NBC needed a game they could
jerk around so they can tell you hundreds of times that the winner of the
Kentucky Derby California Chrome is attempting horse racing history.
Want to bet they will even get Doc and Pierre to show their
puppet strings and talk about the horse race. Ranger's coach Alain Vigneault
called the decision stupid and thanks to the NHL they have given the folks in
Canada yet another reason to dislike us.
How hard would it been to schedule this game for the
nighttime? For the folks in Canada it would give them their traditional "Hockey
Night in Canada" Saturday night game. After all those silly Canadians all they
did was invent the game in the first place.
But no some stupid horse race in the USA is more important
than Canada's only playoff team playing on a Saturday like they have since the Stone
Age. Alain Vigneault wanted to know why they couldn't show the game on NBCSN on
Saturday night and I know why.
NBCSN was going to show the fight between Tomasz Adamek and
Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov during that time spot. Boxing ratings vs
Hockey ratings who wants to see which one is lower?
So the Rangers will play game 1 Saturday, attend the
services on Sunday and play game 2 on Monday. Thanks NHL.
I Dare to Believe
I dare to believe that once again the Rangers will be
playing a more physical team abet thankfully one that doesn't have a rep as
being dirty. But to a kid who always watched the Rangers lose to the Canadians
in the playoffs now is a different time.
In the past the Canadians had the legendary players and the
all-world goalie but that is the past as the ghosts of the old Montreal Forum
are not going to win this time. Henrik Lundqvist is going to brush aside all
those supposed demons about he can't win in the Bell Centre.
Carey Price? Really what has he ever won? Give me King
Henrik any day. PK Subban has been outstanding but Montreal has used the "we
get no respect" card for the first 2 rounds. That is not the case but I believe
that Brad Richards and Marty St. Louis realize this might be their best chance
to win a 2nd cup.
I believe the Ranger's checking line led by Dom Moore will
shut down Montreal's scorers like the Bruins did. I believe that the Ranger's
Brassard line is going to give Montreal fits as they don't know how to defend
against it.
And if there ever was a time for Rick Nash to shake whatever
is wrong with him then now is the time. The biggest difference between good
players and great players is that great players find ways to make plays. A Rick
Nash scoring goals is something that Montreal has no answer for.
I say the emotions of this weekend will get the Rangers a
split, then time off to rest before Thursday will charge up Ranger fans. Take
the home games and maybe drop game 5 but at home in game 6, the Rangers punch
their ticket to the Stanley Cup Finals.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Portland voters will head to the polls on Tuesday to decide on a $96-million school budget for FY 2014.
Mayor Michael Brennan joined superintendent Emmanuel Caulk at the East End Elementary School on Monday to urge voters to approve the budget.
It eliminates nearly 50 staff positions, but Caulk says it finds a healthy balance of maintaining core classes, after school programs, and it leaves the arts and languages unaffected.
Mayor Brennan says the struggle with this budget has been the loss of state funding; the state subsidy to the city's schools has decreased over the last three years by 3.5 million dollars.
Polling places will be open from 7am to 8pm. For more information about voting in the city, click here.

Comments about Eagles Nest Outfitters Pronest:
I love this hammock. I carry it when even I go on any trip because it just packs so small. It is great for backpacking as a super lightweight tent alternative. The additional slap straps make it a snap to change the tightness of the hammock to be loose or flat. It sleeps comfortably even for a 6' guy if tight across and you sleep on an angle, which I prefer for any hammock style. Everyone else around you will be jealous if you get one of these and what to use it.

Comments about Eagles Nest Outfitters Pronest:
Bought this hammock to get out of a tent on long hikes. Tried it out immediately and it set up really fast using a set of the slapstrap micro straps from ENO. It is lightweight and easy to pack and unload. I would note that it seems to me the reason it is light is because it is smaller than the regular singlenest. I am 5'8" and i fit fine. But if you are 6' tall you might want to try one out before you buy or just go with the singlenest.

Storms & Global Warming II
Earlier this year, we posted two discussions on the association between climate change and storms: Storms and Climate Change and Some recent updates. I will use the abbreviation TC here in the loose meaning of a tropical cyclone. These posts discussed the high number of TCs during the previous hurricane season and an essay on the relation between TCs and climate change. The uncertainty surrounding trends in storminess was underlined, and a point was being made about this subject being controversial.
Whereas some meteorologists believe that there is not a link between gobal warming and storms, there has also been a recent model study on how the storm statistics can be affected by a global warming that we failed to mention in the previous discussion. Furthermore, a new analysis published in Nature by Kerry Emanuel ('Increasing destructiveness of tropical cyclones over the past 30 years') points to a high correlation between the power of the TCs and the sea surface temperature (SST). This paper is also discussed in The New Scientist. He suggests that a likely consequence of a future warming is an upward trend in the destructive potential of TCs. Emanuel argues that a net power dissipation is a better indicator of TC threat than their frequency or intensity alone.
From NOAA
The conclusion of Emanuel at first sight appears to contrast with the a recent statement from NOAA that a 20-30-year reoccurring cycle is the dominant climate factor that controls Atlantic hurricane activity and that any potentially weak signal associated with longer-term climate change appears to be a minor factor. But, in fact, Emanuel acknowedged the lack of a trend in the frequency of the TCs, but finds a trend in their their destructive power which is related to their intensity and duration.

Acute Promyelocytic Leukemias (APL) are a unique entity in the field of carcinogenesis. They result from maturation arrest of cells at the promyelocyte stage, and are associated with a reciprocal chromosomal translocation of portions of chromosomes 15 and 17. This translocation leads to the formation of a fusion product between the PML gene and the alpha retinoic receptor site. The discovery that the compound all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) can induce maturation of the promyelocyte has significantly improved the ability to cure this disease. This current study was undertaken to assess the results of treatment using induction chemotherapy for tumor burden reduction, followed by differentiation and maturation of the promyelocytes with ATRA, for patients with APL.
Materials and Methods
Of 65 patients analyzed:
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The authors report a very promising regimen of induction chemotherapy followed by ATRA for the treatment of APL. It is important to have an understanding of the criticality of timely diagnosis and treatment in this patient population. Also impressive was the marked effect of ATRA timing on outcome, with significant morbidity if given with induction chemotherapy, but significant improvement of efficacy if given at day 14. In fact, the authors cite reports from the U.S. of up to a 40% rate of ATRA syndrome when ATRA is used on day 1. Finally, the use of a non-standard consolidation regimen of daunorubicin alone resulted in a relapse rate of 60%, suggesting inadequacy of this therapy that is commonly used in some European centers. Ultimately, the future of APL treatment will hinge on continued optimization of combined modality approaches, adding into the armamentarium a variety of biologic agents including ATRA, arsenic trioxide, and kinase pathway inhibitors.

Many Linux administrators and desktop users need a secure method of shelling into a linux server to do work. So here, I'll illustrate some tips for secure remote access using OpenSSH.
Secure Shell
Secure shell is the most common remote shell utility in use, since it addresses the shortcomings of the older utilities like telnet and rlogin. But left in its default configuration, as shipped by some of the major Linux vendors, it still can be insecure. Here are some ways to make it more secure. OpenSSH is installed and enabled by default in most, if not all all Linux distributions, so we can get right to configuring it for better security.
Disallow direct root login
If secure shell is configured to allow direct login by root, it makes it easy for a bad guy who either brute forces the password or manages to obtain it outright, to get access. It's also generally a good idea to force users to log on as themselves and su to root, to preserve an audit trail. Let's fix that.
Visit the ssh server config file /etc/ssh/sshd_config in your editor of choice and change the line:
toCode:# PermitRootLogin yes
Make sure to remove the '#' to uncomment. So we've disabled root login. Now we'll disable the older ssh protocol 1.Code:PermitRootLogin no
Disable ssh protocol 1
Doing this requires that ssh clients like PuTTY be changed to use protocol 2. Most Linux ssh clients use either, and will be forced to protocol 2 if the server is configured with 2 only. Let's do that now - change:
toCode:# Protocol 1,2
Code:Protocol 2
Set up public key authentication
If your users have a private key that matches a corresponding public key on the server, you can deny all logins that do not provide such a key. Also, the remote user can use a key agent for some added convenience that will enable them to enter a password once and shell in all day without providing another. The agent handles passing the key that was decrypted using the password. Seeing it in action will clarify the concept.
Let's do it then, first create the user's key pairs. We'll do it with PuTTY and also with the OpenSSH secure shell client in Linux. Grab Pageant and PuTTYgen from here, and fire up PuTTYgen to generate a key pair. Select ssh2 dsa key and the length of key. Then generate the key. Save the private key and copy and paste the public half to notepad. You want to highlight and paste the Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file: The key needs to be one long string when pasted into notepad.
Now we can make pageant load the key when launched, by providing the path to the private key. Right click on the pageant icon and type in a space and then the path to the private key.
In the Target field, we want the executable ant then the path to the pricate key
Test the agentCode:C:\pageant.exe c:\priv.ppk
When you launch pageant, you'll enter the password to decrypt the key and it will remain in memory until you close pageant. Remember to close it when you're through to prevent someone from gaining access to your servers from your station.
But first we need to prepare the remote server for the key authentication. First, we'll work on the account that will be logging in, test it, then configure the ssh server to deny all attempts that do not have a key. In the home directory for the user that will use the key, do the following:
Paste the public key into .ssh/authorized_keysCode:mkdir .ssh; chmod 755 .ssh
If you have'nt already done it, launch the agent and type in your password. Then try to PuTTY into the account that has the keys. If it works without you entering the Linux password, we can move on. If not, there's a step missing. Double check all the steps thus far.Code:chmod 644 .ssh/authorized_keys
Deny users without keys
Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the following:
toCode:#PasswordAuthentication yes
toCode:PasswordAuthentication no #ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes
and depending on distributionCode:ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
toCode:#PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt yes
Now restart the ssh server the Redhat way.Code:PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt no
Or, the Debian wayCode:service sshd restart
You should now be denied access if you connect and try to login without a key loaded. Try it by closing pageant and attempt login.Code:/etc/init.d/ssh restart
You can use agents in Linux too. To do that, generate an ssh key pair and run the ssh agent with that key. As a user, do the following, entering passwords and accepting default filenames:
Paste id_dsa.pub into the .ssh/authorized_keys on the user's account on remote server. Copy it over, and:Code:ssh-keygen -t dsa
Now we'll launch the ssh agent and load the id_dsa key, using the passwordCode:cat id_dsa.pub > .ssh/authorized_keys; chmod 644 .ssh/authorized_keys
You'll be prompted for your passwordCode:ssh-add
Test it all out
Test logging into the server now. If it works, you now have a more secure ssh setup. A couple things about PuTTY and forwarding agents. In Linux, the site wide client ssh config file, /etc/ssh/ssh_config has an option called ForwardAgent. When set to yes, it allows one more consecutive connection using the loaded agent key. As in - ssh host1 then from there - ssh host2 without password, provided host2 is set up with the proper configuraton for pub key auth and users' public keys. In PuTTY, check off the forward agent option.
Now we can shell over to as many servers as we set up keys for, with the balance of security and convenience. Make sure to train your users to close the agent when they're through working. A nice side benefit of this setup is the ability to run commands distributed among a group of similarly configured servers.
Additional OpenSSH Security
Allowed Users
For added security, we can specify users who are allowed to log in using SSH
Edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and add the following two lines right after the Authentication section of the file:
So now we have excluded all other accounts from being valid users. The ssh daemon will throw an error in it's log file when any other account is tried.Code:# Users allowed access AllowUsers radar avalon
We will establish a default deny policy for sshd and only allow IP addresses and networks that we specify in the access control list files.
These two files are: /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow. There's a certain degree of flexibility in how you can use tcp_wrappers including: You can use both files or just one. You can format the rules the way that is best for you.
Here I will show how to use both hosts.deny and hosts.allow, and I will use a rule format that's easier for me to manage.
The default deny
edit /etc/hosts.deny and add the sshd rule
There should be a carriage return at the end of the fileCode:# /etc/hosts.deny: list of hosts that are _not_ allowed to access the system. # See the manual pages hosts_access(5), hosts_options(5) # and /usr/doc/netbase/portmapper.txt.gz # # Example: ALL: some.host.name, .some.domain # ALL EXCEPT in.fingerd: other.host.name, .other.domain # # If you're going to protect the portmapper use the name "portmap" for the # daemon name. Remember that you can only use the keyword "ALL" and IP # addresses (NOT host or domain names) for the portmapper. See portmap(8) # and /usr/doc/portmap/portmapper.txt.gz for further information. # # The PARANOID wildcard matches any host whose name does not match its # address. # You may wish to enable this to ensure any programs that don't # validate looked up hostnames still leave understandable logs. In past # versions of Debian this has been the default. # ALL: PARANOID sshd : ALL : DENY portmap: ALL :deny
Explicit allows
Edit /etc/hosts.allow
The man page for hosts_access explains the rule structure and formatting options. Generally though, you can verify that sshd is compiled with the proper support for tcp_wrappers this way:Code:# /etc/hosts.allow: list of hosts that are allowed to access the system. # See the manual pages hosts_access(5), hosts_options(5) # and /usr/doc/netbase/portmapper.txt.gz # # Example: ALL: LOCAL @some_netgroup # ALL: .foobar.edu EXCEPT terminalserver.foobar.edu # # If you're going to protect the portmapper use the name "portmap" for the # daemon name. Remember that you can only use the keyword "ALL" and IP # addresses (NOT host or domain names) for the portmapper, as well as for # rpc.mountd (the NFS mount daemon). See portmap(8), rpc.mountd(8) and # /usr/share/doc/portmap/portmapper.txt.gz for further information. # sshd : \ 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 \ xx.0.0.0/255.248.0.0 \ xx.8.0.0/255.252.0.0 \ xx.12.0.0/255.254.0.0 \ xx.14.0.0/255.255.0.0 \ : allow portmap: 192.168.0.4,192.168.0.2 :ALLOW
Code:saturn:~# strings -f /usr/sbin/sshd | grep access /usr/sbin/sshd: hosts_access /usr/sbin/sshd: @(#)$OpenBSD: groupaccess.c,v 1.6 2003/04/08 20:21:28 itojun Exp $ /usr/sbin/sshd: userauth_hostbased: access allowed by auth_rhosts2 /usr/sbin/sshd: It is recommended that your private key files are NOT accessible by others.
The line we're interested in contains hosts_access
Why do we do all this? It is a decent way, IMHO, to thwart brute force attempts against your host accounts. Without this, you probably see logs upon logs of failed password attempts, and we'll see that LogWatch now contains the failed attempts:
AfterCode:--------------------- SSHD Begin ------------------------ Didn't receive an ident from these IPs: 4h134234.aspadmin.net (220.127.116.11): 1 Time(s) serv-1-0-130.lycos-vds.com (18.104.22.168): 1 Time(s) Illegal users from these: ace/none from ::ffff:22.214.171.124: 1 Time(s) alex/none from ::ffff:18.104.22.168: 1 Time(s) ana/none from ::ffff:126.96.36.199: 1 Time(s) andrea/none from ::ffff:22.214.171.124: 1 Time(s) andrew/none from ::ffff:220.127.116.11: 1 Time(s) angel/none from ::ffff:188.8.131.52: 1 Time(s) anonymous/none from ::ffff:188.8.131.52: 1 Time(s) bank/none from ::ffff:18.104.22.168: 1 Time(s) barbara/none from ::ffff:188.8.131.52: 1 Time(s) betty/none from ::ffff:184.108.40.206: 1 Time(s) billy/none from ::ffff:184.108.40.206: 2 Time(s) bob/none from ::ffff:220.127.116.11: 1 Time(s) brandon/none from ::ffff:22.214.171.124: 1 Time(s) brian/none from ::ffff:184.108.40.206: 1 Time(s) buddy/none from ::ffff:188.8.131.52: 1 Time(s) carmen/none from ::ffff:22.214.171.124: 1 Time(s) charlie/none from ::ffff:184.108.40.206: 1 Time(s) ~ ~ ~
This method also gives you a layered approach to your remote access security:Code:Refused incoming connections: ::ffff:220.127.116.11 (::ffff:184.108.40.206): 2 Time(s) ::ffff:126.96.36.199 (::ffff:188.8.131.52): 2 Time(s) ::ffff:126.96.36.199 (::ffff:126.96.36.199): 1 Time(s) ::ffff:184.108.40.206 (::ffff:188.8.131.52): 1 Time(s)
- We now disallow insecure protocols
- We disallow direct root access to the SSH daemon
- We force the use of secure keys for SSH access
- We have a list of allowed users of SSH
- We have a host-based access list ACL that at least makes it far more difficult to gain an unauthorized connection to the SSH daemon
