If I wanted to see how fast you were, I would ask you to run with a stop watch in my hand over 60 yards. If I wanted to see how you pitched, I would stand a few feet behind the catcher with a camera and radar gun in hand. If I wanted to see how you were as a hitter, I would watch you in a batting cage and games with the camera rolling. If I wanted to see how you field, I would hit you fly balls and grounders until the sun went down. There is so much technology and statistical services that scouting tools is fairly straight forward with experience and a keen eye.
Seeing this is the case, why do international free agents and baseball draft picks fail at a higher rate than most professional sports? Why can I line up 50 pitchers, all who throw 93 mph, and only 1 out of those 50 turn into a long-term solution on a major league roster? Why is it only 1 or 2 players from each draft class end up as a useful major leaguer? What sets players a part? What makes one player a hall of fame player and the other AAAA?

Editor's note: Our first guest post of the semester is from Luis Martinez. Luis as mentioned below is a Finance Major here at Northern Illinois University. He is also involved in Investment Association, Omega Delta Fraternity and is a math tutor here at Northern.
My name is Luis Martinez; I am a junior Finance major. I am here to share about my experience here at the College of Business, at Northern Illinois University. It all started when I was a senior in high school, they had taken us on many trips to various Universities. I was always good at math, so I knew I would either be a math major or in some type of Business field. The two schools that stood out to me were, Marquette University and Northern Illinois University. These schools both have a great Business program, so it was up to me to decide where to take my talents. I came to the conclusion that I needed to visit these schools once more, so I did.
As I arrived to Milwaukee I started feeling out of place. This school was not where I belonged, I told myself. There was something missing, I didn't feel like I was at home for some reason. This was like a spidey sense. Therefore, I decided to visit NIU one last time to see if that's where I belonged. Indeed, I felt like I was at home and the College of Business atmosphere gave me a rush of intensity, as if I were playing in the fourth quarter of a close game. I had made up my mind. I took my talents to NIU.
The staff and students here at the College of Business are just so motivated and filled with a joy like no other. Barsema Hall, in general is a beautiful building. The atmosphere reminded me of my high school, everyone was helpful, happy and here for business. The high school I had attended was Cristo Rey Jesuit High school. They taught me to be intellectually competent and to be a man for others; NIU has taught me to be an innovator, a doer and a leader. Furthermore, you can see that I love being here at the College of Business. Great program + Great Football team = The complete package. Go Huskies, and for you College of Business Students, do not let Failure overtake you, let it be your success.

|See Other VIXIA mini Camcorders
A built-in, adjustable stand and tripod socket allow flexible positioning so it's easy to shoot any scene hands-free, including scenes where you're the star.
One of the most innovative things about the VIXIA mini is the shooting flexibility it gives you. Between the 2.7-inch Vari-angle LCD that flips on parallel hinges, and the built-in stand that adjusts to various positions, your shooting options are endless. Shoot low-angle with the screen fully closed, and high-angle or straight on with the screen in the rear position. You can even shoot in multiple directions with the camera inverted; Detection Orientation automatically rotates the image for playback. Hands-free videos where you're the star have never been easier! Simply place the screen in the front position and position the sturdy stand to the perfect angle. There's even a tripod socket to ensure steady recording.

|Kid hits car- Benefit Saturday
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 18 June 2007 20:03
An update on a story we brought you in May: 10-year-old Tyler, the child who ran into a car in the parking lot of a local restaurant on May 3, faces a long road to full recovery.According to family friend and employer Brandie Miller, Tyler sustained multiple injuries to his head and face- injuries that will require extensive therapy over the next year.
In the meantime, Tyler's medical bills are getting pricey. The community, however, is standing behind Tyler and his family.
A benefit is being conducted to help with the expenses.
The benefit will be Saturday at the National Guard Armory in Boone from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Live music, raffles, games, Big Mo's competition barbeque, hamburgers and hotdogs are just some of the attractions. For more information on how you can help or purchase a raffle ticket, call 828-262-1126.

How much do each of these cost? Oh don't worry, its' for "our" safety. Besides, the government has unlimited funds to purchase new ones. But remember, the drones are in the skys to keep us safe. Just like the TSA.

THE MORNING SKATE: Joensuu's Big Goals, Which Isles Jersey Is Howie Rose Sporting?
It's another slow day in the off-season, but we're got some reading material to get you through it. One of the most surprising things that happened yesterday was what went down at the IIHF World Championships. Both the Americans and Canadiens were sent packing by European counterparts. The Canadian squad was downed 4-3 by Slovakia and in a turn that will anger all the commenters that hate to hear about him, Jesse Joensuu scored twice against Kyle Okposo and the Americans to give the Finns a 3-2 win. Joensuu scored the opening goal of the game and got the game winner with 8 seconds remaining. Here's the video, featuring a lot of excited Finns:
Moving on, if you answered Trevor Gillies to the question in the blog title, you're a winner. The Mets all had on hockey jerseys for their trip to Toronto yesterday and Isles/Mets announcer Howie Rose sported a #14 jersey with Rose's name on the back.

The real winner in my book though was David Wright with the classic Goldberg jersey from the Mighty Ducks movies (bonus points for evoking childhood memories).
And some additional reading for you to peruse…
– The Barclays will have horseshoe seating? You don't say…
– Spector's has a good read on how the cap could impact big spending teams this summer.
– A mall, hotel and shops are coming to CitiField. Nothing that seems to indicate any movement towards hockey.
– Finally, Deadspin with a great look at the genius that is the Kings twitter account.

Great Lakes Lake Effect Enclosure
Filed under: Uncategorized
In server rooms and data centers, one of the most important aspects of managing computer equipment is keeping it cool. When servers and other network components run, they produce heat, and when you have a whole room full of electronics, things can get toasty pretty fast. And here's the problem: despite the fact that computers can really crank out the BTUs, heat can actually cause a lot of damage. Overheated components, in a best-case scenario, don't run as efficiently as they should. But it can get a lot worse – when running too hot, computer equipment can be irreversibly damaged, completely shut down, and force you to foot the bill for both new equipment and network downtime. Needless to say, that can turn into a very expensive situation.
The moral of this story is that you should never skimp on thermal management – no good can come of it. But there are so many choices out there for server room thermal management – how is one to decide? In addition to having a great air conditioning system in place for the entire room, you need to consider how you'll tackle the excess heat issue server enclosure by server enclosure. When you have components rack mounted in cabinets, they're more prone to heat build-up because everything is confined. So, you can opt for rack fans, vented doors and side panels, or get really sophisticated with a liquid-based cooling system that pumps coolant through a system of pipes to absord and carry away heat. Or, if you want a complete solution that will cause you the least amount of hassle, you could always just go with a Lake Effect enclosure from Great Lakes.
The Lake Effect server enclosure is built for cooling; in fact, we like to think of it as the ultimate cooling enclosure. From the outside, it looks like any other cabinet, but it's the patented thermal technology hidden inside that makes it so special. The key is the Lake Effect's pressurized front plenum chamber, which lines the entire front panel of the enclosure top to bottom. It uses vanaxial fans, which were originally invented for use in the aerospace industry, to maintain a constant 65° temperature inside the front plenum. This keeps the ambient temperature of the entire enclosure at a safe level, and protects your equipment from the malfunctions that occur from overheating. The Lake Effect uses absolutely no liquid coolants and refrigerants, and doesn't require any wall, ceiling, or raised-floor penetrations – just set it directly on the floor, and you're ready to go.

Itunes - http://bit.ly/L0DBc1
Delilah's music is lit-up by diamond-sharp snares and deep, cinematic strings. Her songs all share a dark and dramatic edge, but the affecting and lingering sense of melancholy is kept in check by a subtle, driving energy. A track like I Can Feel You has a warm, dream-like sensuality and opens up a vast ocean of space for her voice to live in, while Never Be Another One finds Delilah's handclaps and shivery piano notes strung out across a crisply electronic frame.
Delilah was born Paloma Stoecker in Paris in 1990. She moved to London after her parents split when she was still very young. Delilah is, in fact, her great grandmother's name. She says she's just borrowing it, "because Paloma Faith is borrowing mine!"

When asked about finalizing his roster before the start of the 2014 season Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop said on a conference call last week that he and his staff were "looking at other possibilities with other teams about maybe trading. We're forever on the lookout."
The options have become clearer as Yallop and his staff have pulled the trigger on two trades in three days.
On Monday, the team acquired left back Greg Cochrane from the LA Galaxy while the team acquired midfielder Matt Watson (above) from Vancouver in exchange for an international roster spot.
Neither player is brought in with a view of starting but it seems likely Yallop and his staff will look to both to provide depth. Cochrane played 12 matches for LA during his rookie season in 2013, filling in mostly for veteran Todd Dunivant.
Watson, who's known for a high work ethic and steady, consistent performances, played a more regular role with the Whitecaps over the past two seasons, appearing in 21 matches in 2013.
The acquisitions mean that the team roster sits at 29 players four days out from the season opener vs. Chivas USA. While MLS rosters can accomodate 30 players, Yallop has said he expects to start the season with 28, likely using the open two spots to earn allocation money from the league to help with the team's tight salary situation.
With the team admitting they're working towards a loan deal with Tottenham Hotspur's Grant Ward, it seems likely more moves could be imminent.
Stay tuned.
Major League Soccer announced Wednesday that the Chicago Fire are one of five teams taking part in Thursday's weight lottery for Brian "Cobi" Span.
Span is a 21-year-old midfielder who was teammates with Fire defender Hunter Jumper for two years at the University of Virginia. Span left UVa after the 2011 season and signed with Swedish Allsvenskan side Djurgårdens.
Thursday's lottery will take place at 9:00am CT with the announcement shortly after.
See below the odds for each team that elected to take part. Odds are determined in reverse order of the standings from the previous 34 games, in this case, the 2013 MLS season:
|FC Dallas
|Chicago Fire
|San Jose Earthquakes
|New England Revolution
|Real Salt Lake
BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- The #cf97 hashtag exploded on Twitter Thursday night with news that Uruguayan international midfielder Arévalo Rios was headed to the Chicago Fire.
Where would the international spot come from?
Fire President of Soccer Operations Javier Leon has been public about the club seeking a loan for Dutch forward Sherjill MacDonald.
Italian back-up goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi is reportedly close to securing a green card.
Should those two moves occur, the Fire would free up two of their six current international spots, making way for the veteran of Uruguay's 2010 World Cup squad to be added to the roster.
More to come on Rios' Windy City arrival later on Chicago-Fire.com.
Fire Homegrown forward Kellen Gulley has headed to Georgia to begin training with the NASL's Atlanta Silverbacks this week.
Fire head coach Frank Klopas mentioned throughout preseason that the team was looking to send the 18-year-old forward out on loan this year and it appears that the club is working towards an agreement with the second division side.
Signed from the Mississippi Fire Juniors in August 2011, Gulley has yet to make his competitive debut for the club. The potential move should serve him well in gaining playing time as he continues to develop.
Coached by former FC Dallas head coach Brian Haynes, the Silverbacks open their 2013 NASL Spring campaign vs. Fort Lauderdale Strikers on April 13 at Silverbacks Park.
It's always interesting when things come full circle in MLS… Follow me if you will…
Take a ride back to last September when the Fire acquired midfielder Wells Thompson from Colorado in exchange for a conditional MLS SuperDraft selection.
The condition stated that if Thompson appeared in four of the team's remaining regular season matches, the Fire would surrender their second round selection at the 2013 SuperDraft to the Rapids. He did and the Fire bid farewell to the pick.
Not so fast…
Wells Thompson: Trade Revolutionary?
Then consider the news out of the Denver Post today where Rapids President Tim Hinchey said Larentowicz was nearly traded to the Columbus Crew instead of the Fire.
Flash forward to the night before the MLS SuperDraft in Indianapolis when the teams did another deal, this time with the Fire acquiring central midfielder Jeff Larentowicz as well as the same second round pick they'd surrendered to the Rapids (30th overall) in exchange for their first round selection (11th overall), an international roster spot and allocation money.
Apparently the Rapids had turned down "better offers" from other teams in order to grant Larentowicz his wish of coming to Chicago rather than Columbus.
One of the main pieces at play in that potential deal was the MLS rights to midfielder Robbie Rogers, which the Fire also ended up acquiring in the trade that brought Dilly Duka to Chicago.
Not the Fire or Rapids could have predicted Rogers would retire but beyond that, you almost wonder if the other part of the potential Crew/Rapids deal could have been Duka?
But I'm getting off topic here…
Things officially came full circle today when Yazid Atouba, the player selected with the 30th pick that went back and forth between the Rapids and Fire, officially signed with the Men in Red. Slightly unheralded at the SuperDraft, Atouba gained confidence in every preseason match and dazzled Fire fans towards the end.
Certainly a pleasant surprise at #30 overall...
Take it all in and let me leave you with a few parting shots…
* Let me point out that this type of juicy "after-the-fact" trade possibility is something we just don't hear about enough in MLS.
* It says something about the culture created internally when an MLS veteran like Jeff Larentowicz chooses to come to your club.
* Kudos to the Rapids for doing well by the player.
* Who knows who the Fire would have selected with the 11th overall pick but my safe money is on the fact that Yazid Atouba wouldn't have been it.
* No offense whatsoever meant to Wells Thompson, but who'd have thought this all would have come from his slightly under the radar trade last fall?
Was nice to wake up to this news this morning that U.S. international and current Aston Villa first-choice 'keeper Brad Guzan would like to return to MLS one day and potentially suit up for his hometown Chicago Fire.
A product of Homer Glen, Ill., Guzan was quoted as saying, "Hopefully, I will get the opportunity, when I'm finished playing in Europe, to go back and play in it.
"Especially being from Chicago, which has a team. I'd love to go back and play for the Chicago Fire in front of friends and family. That would be pretty neat."
Guzan of course teamed with current Fire forward Chris Rolfe on the Chicago Fire PDL side that went a near perfect 17-1-0 en route to the league's regular season championship that year.
Having played two seasons at the University of South Carolina, Guzan left college to sign with MLS and was picked second overall by Chivas USA in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft.
At just 28 years old and with the Fire having a 'keeper in Sean Johnson who is nipping at his heels for the number two spot with the U.S., Guzan won't likely return stateside anytime soon but would likely be a welcome addition for many a Fire fan down the road...
His thoughts on joining the Fire…
"I'm happy for a new challenge," Larentowicz told Chicago-Fire.com Wednesday night. "It feels good to go to a place where you're in the plans. Frank has been very forthright in coming after and it's something I look forward to being a part of."
On his contentious years against the Fire…
"In the past in my time in New England the Fire were always our biggest rivals. We were very similar, very competitive teams that were hard-nosed. Its just kind of the nature of things that both teams had wanted to win in the past but now I'm part of the Fire and I still have that same competitive spirit that's going to come and work for Chicago."
On competition in central midfield…
"I'll be competing for a spot and its an opportunity to come in and show that I deserve to be in the lineup and that's what I expect. I know those guys from playing against them – they're all good players and I look forward to competing for that spot."
On ability to stay fit throughout the years…
"The way I look at seasons and playing is the more time you can be available and give the coach the option of playing you, the better off you're going to be and the more opportunity for good things to happen. I think over the past seven years I've been able to do that."
On being part of championship teams in New England and Colorado…
"On all the teams I've been on it was never that they depended on me but it was more of a collective thing and the way I view how I play and what I try to do. The Fire are a playoff team and always in contention. I hope to add to that and be a piece that helps take the team to the next level."
...defender Carlos Bocanegra brings to end his four-year stay with the Chicago Fire by signing with English Premier club Fulham FC on this day in 2004.
Arguably the best defender in Chicago Fire history, Bocanegra was a two-time MLS Defender of the Year and League Best XI selection (2002, 2003) as well as being the first Fire player to claim MLS Rookie of the year in 2000 and helped the club to three domestic titles (2000, 2003 U.S. Open Cup, 2003 Supporters Shield) as well as an additional two finals appearances (2000, 2003 MLS Cup).
Bocanegra was one of just three defenders named to last year's #Fire15 player's list along with former teammats C.J. Brown and Lubos Kubik.
At the time of his Fire departure, Bocanegra had only just begun to break into Bruce Arena's U.S. Men's National Team squad, with the future captain scoring four goals in his first full campaign for the Stars and Stripes in 2003.
With the UCLA product proving his worth for both club and country, Fulham signed Bocanegra on a free transfer (in the same window that future Fire forward Brian McBride arrived at Craven Cottage) and the two formed the basis for a long-term American occupancy of the West London club.
He would parlay his form at Fulham into making the 2006 U.S. World Cup team and while his time there would come to an end, Bocanegra was eventually named as new U.S. captain when former Fire coach Bob Bradley took the national team reins in 2007.
Moving to a less traditional American soccer destination with French clubs Stade Rennes (2008-10), Bocanegra led the U.S. to the Round of 16 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa before moving to St. Etienne following the tournament.
A move to Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers would follow but after the side went into administration this past summer, whispers of the former Fire defender's MLS return could be heard league-wide before he eventually went on loan to Spanish Segunda side Racing Santander.
Having now a decade of national team experience under his belt, the 33-year-old center back sits tied with Paul Caligiuri for sixth all-time on the national appeance list at 110 and is has scored more international goals (14) than any defender in U.S. history.
With his time for the national team and career winding down, a return to MLS could still be in his future. Remember, returning to Chicago for a U.S. friendly vs. Poland in October 2010, Bocanegra was quoted as saying this…
"This is my first choice. You never know how it works with (Major League Soccer) and allocations, but I love this city. For me, it would be cool to play for one team my whole career in MLS. I would like to come back to Chicago."
WATCH: Bocanegra Named to #Fire15
Ahead of the opening of the 2013 Combine on Friday, the SuperDraft "Big Boards" have begun to make their appearances.
MLSsoccer.com's Simon Borg, Matt Doyle and Jason Saghini ran through their initial thoughts on the first 19 selections for Thursday's SuperDraft.
Manneh (L) or Hurtado (R) could make for
interesting offensive projects
Simon and Matt both agreed on the Fire's choice at 11th overall, saying they thought Frank Klopas and Co. would select Generation adidas signing, Gambian forward Kekuta Manneh, while Saghini differed with his pick of midfielder Erik Hurtado from Santa Clara.
Having just turned 18, Manneh seems to be a wild card in this draft. During the 2010-11 U.S. Soccer Development Academy campaign, the 5-9 forward tallied 35 goals for the Texas Rush.
The closest teammate to him goals scored was Marco Molina at seven.
Manneh didn't play in the Academy league this past year but the then 17-year-old did suit up for the USL Premier Development League's Austin Aztex, tying for the team lead in goals with 10 in 12 games before adding three more in two playoff matches.
Hurtado is a bit more of a known quantity. The Beaverton, Ore. product was a four-year stand-out at Santa Clara where he was actually teammates with current Fire defender Jalil Anibaba in 2009.
The attacking midfielder led the Broncos in goals all four seasons, tallying 33 to go along with 20 assists over 76 matches.
The last two summers, he's suited up for the Portland Timbers U-23 PDL side, tallying an impressive 14 goals in 18 matches.
Elsewhere over at TopDrawerSoccer.com, J.R. Eskilson and Travis Clark projected the Fire to select Maryland midfielder John Stertzer 11th overall.
Maryland's Stertzer is another name in the Fire mix
A product of Oakton, Va., Stertzer tallied 25 goals and 14 assists over 79 matches between 2009-12.
Stertzer came into his own offensively over the last two seasons, bagging 21 goals and 11 assists and helped the Terrapins in their return to the NCAA College Cup this past December but is expected to take on more of a holding role in MLS.
What do you think of the three projected players? Certainly with two offseason additions in attack, none of the three may stick out to Fire fans on paper and all would seem to be sort of project players. Of course these are just initial lists and the Combine has a lot to do with the reshuffling of the draft order.
We'll be sure to keep up with the combine this weekend and the newest Mock Drafts to come out from it…
First, a warm welcome to the newest member of the Chicago Fire, midfielder Joel Lindpere.
The move to acquire the Estonian international was met with pretty high praise from yours truly, considering all that was exchanged was an international roster spot. Also consider that the guy has scored a few goals against the Fire since coming to MLS (three to be exact and four if you count a preseason goal he scored back in 2011).
That aside, here are five other reasons I can really appreciate the move for the club's latest addition...
- He's the very definition of an iron man – In a total of 98 MLS regular season matches he's been eligible for over the last three seasons, Lindpere has appeared in exactly 97 games, the most of any MLS player in that time span. That also includes goalkeepers.
Players on the current Fire roster with comparable MLS appearances over the last three MLS seasons: Dominic Oduro (93 with Chicago/Houston), Patrick Nyarko (91, Chicago), Logan Pause (87, Chicago) and Wells Thompson (79, Colorado/Chicago).
Lindpere has 3 goals in 7 games vs. the Fire
- There's a certain swagger he has… He looks intimidating and the Estonian international has a certain bite that backs up the way he carries himself. His aggression and ability in the attack reminds me a bit of Dema Kovalenko, though with a few less yellow cards.…
- He has a pretty powerful left foot – Watch the video below. He's a threat in crossing the ball but can also unleash a pretty powerful shot. Combine this acquisition with that of Maicon Santos and the power in attack has been greatly upgraded.
- Competition (and rest) in the midfield – The biggest knock against the Fire in 2012 was the perceived lack of enough squad rotation. By season's end, the team looked a little bit tired and perhaps slightly predictable. With the likes of Nyarko, Alvaro Fernandez, Alex and the potential return of Corben Bone, the attacking midfield options available to Klopas in times of heavy fixture congestion have been upgraded as well.
- Good Results from transactions with Red Bull – Back in 2007 when Fire owner Andrew Hauptman filed tampering charges with New York relating to the Juan Carlos Osorio affair, the team received the Red Bulls' first round selection in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft which the team used to select the-ever dangerous Patrick Nyarko.
Just about a year ago, the Fire traded the rights of defender Wilman Conde to Red Bull in exchanged for an undisclosed, but rumored to be high amount of allocation money that presumably went towards the acquisitions of defender Arne Friedrich and forward Chris Rolfe.
Not a bad track record…

If you're looking to simply melt cheese like in a French onion soup crock or slices on top of a sandwich, a cheesemelter is a perfect fit for your kitchen. However, if you're looking to save space, but still need a unit to be able to cook up those meats on the menu, a salamander broiler will do the job. Heard of a finishing oven (often referred to as a finisher)? Those are the same as cheesemelters, but sometimes differ because they have doors or drawers.

Eavesdropping 101: How NSA snoops
The ACLU has provided a primer on how NSA probably eavesdrops on electronic communications:
The NSA is not only the world's largest spy agency (far larger than the CIA, for example), but it possesses the most advanced technology for intercepting communications. We know it has long had the ability to focus powerful surveillance capabilities on particular individuals or communications. But the current scandal has indicated two new and significant elements of the agency's eavesdropping:
1. The NSA has gained direct access to the telecommunications infrastructure through some of America's largest companies
2. The agency appears to be not only targeting individuals, but also using broad "data mining" systems that allow them to intercept and evaluate the communications of millions of people within the United States.
The ACLU has prepared a map illustrating how all this is believed to work. It shows how the military spying agency has extended its tentacles into much of the U.S. civilian communications infrastructure, including, it appears, the "switches" through which international and some domestic communications are routed, Internet exchange points, individual telephone company central facilities, and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). While we cannot be certain about these secretive links, this chart shows a representation of what is, according to recent reports, the most likely picture of what is going on.
The Social Event Machine
Event organizing. Over the past year many experiments with conferencing formats took place. They were aimed at escaping the same old predicaments. People are fed up with the orthodoxy of traditional, hierarchical proceedings of keynote speakers, panels, and unconcentrated topical orientation! There is the soporific style of delivering a 30-page paper to an audience that could have read this text online beforehand. Paperism! There is the work-shy re-inscription of yet the same players of the virtual intelligentsia over and over again! Peeps and masters! Why look at proposals of the "young nothings
Tax the Rich!
Tax the Rich!
"Tax the Rich" is an online political campaign/net artwork created to diffuse the taboo that surrounds this very loaded phrase. It is being presented on the liberal blog The Huffington Post, and is part of a Contagious Media Festival. This net artwork uses humor to bring the phrase "Tax the Rich" into the common venacular. After visiting the following link, you can help me acheive this goal by passing it on to everyone and anyone you think will enjoy it.

I think the idea is brilliant, i remember arriving in a new flat, new city and thinking "if only i could find one discarded chair to make do until i'm settled and want better furniture."

Answers.com makes money off the unpaid labor of Wikipedians
Answers.com profits of those of us who contribute to Wikipedia! Many talk about the potential of free, user-driven web spaces. Sharing blossoms! Free Culture flourishes! Knowledge repositories like Wikipedia have hundreds of thousands of contributors who believe in what Yochai Benkler called the unregulated commons. Complaints surfaced when BBC allegedly put up a fake entry in Wikipedia to promote one of their programs. Yesterday In an online search I came across the fact that Answers.com plugs into Wikipedia. I was stunned! "Answers.com is an ad-supported reference search service, which displays concise answers drawn from over 100 encyclopedias, dictionaries, glossaries and atlases." I have not read any complaints about this feeding practice yet. This is surprising as the online-many who put their blood, sweat and tears into creating all these Wikipedia entries surely did not intend for their labor to be commercialized by the Answers Corporation. (Answers.com is "ad supported").
In the Wikipedia entry for Answers.com it states that: "Advertising revenues in March totaled approximately $91,000 in comparison to revenues of $16,000 in January and February. For the second quarter of 2005, revenues rose to $424,552 and in the next quarter rose to $563,576, a 33% growth." The economies are comparable to that of Google. (Google Base is a good example. But also Google Video milks the content provided by the many online.) Search engines as leeches? One thing is clear-- money is made from our voluntary, unpaid participation in centralized web-based databases.

The speaker for the luncheon was Shelly Ivie, the service area coordinator of the Utah Division of Workforce Services. She spoke about various programs that DWS offers and also offered up a snapshot of the current economic conditions in the Carbon County. She passed out documents that show Carbon Counties unemployment rate is 7 percent, 1.8 percent higher than the state and .7 percent less that the average across the United States. The graphs also show that mining employment has declined in the county at a fairly constant rate since late 2008 when over 1500 people were employed in mining in the area. Now the number totals around 700.

Started in 1990, the Exemplary Psychiatrist Awards program allows NAMI members, NAMI State Organizations and NAMI Affiliates throughout the country to honor publicly the exceptional contributions that many psychiatrists make to improve the lives of people living with mental illness. All of the nominations are submitted through a NAMI State Organization or NAMI Affiliate office.
Since the Exemplary Psychiatrist Awards program was established, more than 1,000 awards have been presented. Many psychiatrists have described this award as one of the most important honors that they can receive because it comes from the people who need their help the most- people whose lives are affected by mental illness.
The criteria for these awards recognize psychiatrists who have gone the extra mile with NAMI members and have made substantial contributions to NAMI Affiliate or NAMI State Organization activities. For more information about NAMI's Exemplary Psychiatrist Awards program, contact Kryssa Kriticos at (703) 516-7993 or email: email@example.com.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
While officials do not know what departments or programs may be affected by the newest round of budget decreases at College of Eastern Utah, it is certain that the cuts the state is requiring of all agencies and higher education will change things on the campus.
In an email to staff and faculty on Monday afternoon, interim president Mike King related what the administration knows about the states actions and suggested that the cuts may be one of the biggest challenges the college has faced.
"The LFA (legislative fiscal analyst) is recommending an additional 10 percent reduction (over a $763,000 cut and another $915,000 that are being cut from the budget this year) to next year's budget which would reduce our budget by over $1,800,000," stated King in the email. "Regardless of the level of cuts, this challenge will be as great as any we have faced as an institution in recent memory."
After the first round of cuts earlier in the year, few people saw any type of silver lining for next years budget as the economy in the state and nation slowed down and went into what was, on Monday, officially called a recession by experts in the federal government.
In years past, when the economy was slow, cuts were expected. But after the Utah Department of Transportation put off new road projects for next year due to the report from the LFA, all state agencies braced for some dark news.
"Because of the magnitude of these cuts, we are forced to examine every college budget to determine how we can make the reductions while maintaining our educational programs central to the mission of the college," stated King's email. "The administration is conferring with campus departments, the budget committee, college and board of trustees to work through this process. We anticipate having a preliminary budget reduction plan formulated within the next two weeks."
By far the biggest cost the college has is the labor that it employs to run the campus and educate students. With this cut many on campus are nervous about what might happen to staffing and programs.
With the cuts in the wings for a few weeks, but unconfirmed until now, there have been some questions about whether the college would be offering special incentive programs to people who might want to retire.
"Our current special retirement process will remain intact for those eligible and we will add a severance incentive for others who may not qualify for special retirement," stated the presidents release. "The severance incentive will be tailored to the individual."
King went on to explain that process may include agreements to extend health insurance, a one-time payment or other arrangements that are mutually beneficial to the college and the individual.
However, the email also said that any such arrangements would have to fit in with the funding the college has and will have in the future.
"In accordance with accounting standards, each request will be considered on a case-by-case basis and approval is not guaranteed," stated the college's interim president.
The Utah Legislature determines how much money various departments in the state will receive. The state's governing body will not convene until Jan. 26, 2009.
There were some hints on Monday that legislative leaders are talking with the governor about a special session to deal with budget shortfalls for the remainder of 2008 and for next year in a special session.

(NEWS CENTER) -- It's been a week since Governor LePage swore in the new Legislature and, still, no movement in talks between his administration and the new Democratic leaders of that body over how to balance the budget for the remaining fiscal year, as well as the next one.
Plus, will Rep. Mike Michaud's new place on the Veterans Affairs committee bring him more clout? Enough for a possible run for governor in a couple of years?
And, is Maine politically ready to be the third state in the union to make recreational marijuana legal?

Full of colors! Glorious, gorgeous colors on your fingers. It will complete your outfit. It expresses your mood.
I have ALMOST all of the colors, in different textures and honestly its a great product. My personal favorite is Timbleberry its this mango pinky orange lol, its great! They are only $2 and for the price you can't beat t. I only buy polishes that are more expensive when its a color that I love or its unique, otherwise you get the same quality with Sinful colors!!
I've been using Sinful Colors for quite awhile now and I noticed that some colors are either very thin and fade easily (not something I see often) or they'll get really thick and goopy. Despite that, This is my favorite brand of polish. The colors are all very nice and are priced very well.
I really like this nail polish. I have multiple colors, but I think they should have more colors. They don't have a pure yellow, only like a golden yellow. It's the perfect mixture, not too thick or too dry. The price is very good, and I love this! Some of these colors are so gorgeous!
I looove sinful colors! so many pretty shades and super afordable! the BES thing about these is how fast they dry! im super clumsy whn it comes to letting my nails dry! and with these, I dont have to worry about messing up my nails 15 minutes later!
color im wearing is cream pink :)
I love sinful colors, for a cheaper brand they have OPI quality polish, if not better. The colors are very vibrant and fun to stare at while my teachers lecture. i love the formula and how great the polish looks when its dry.
Nirvana is my ultimate favorite polish from this line! For anyone who likes OPI You Don't Know Jacques, you will love Nirvana! Those who don't want to shell out the money for the OPI one, this one would be a great pick for you. It's a great color for anytime of the year and not just for the fall season. I have quite a few of these polishes. With this brand, you definitely have some hits and misses. Some are really great than others from this line. For the price, you definitely get some nice polishes. I love most of the ones I have. The glitter polishes are the ones that are thick and take forever to dry! I would definitely recommend you try a few! You might find a color that you are in love with just like I have with Nirvana! =)
For $1.99 at Target, you can't beat that with a stick. This is another polish I would prefer over OPI. You don't always have to spend big bucks to get a good product. I think a lot of drugstore brands are starting to step they're game up and give companies like OPI and Essie a run for their money!
I recently ppaid 6 bucks!!!..yes 6 bucks for this polish and it is very worth the money....I have the color rise and shine which works great on my dark skin....can't wait til buy more colors....the only thing about the polish is that u need a shiny top coat to set your nails off.
These are so inexpensive and have so many colors to choose from! The only thing I dislike about these polishes are certain colors are a little runny and not as opaque as one would think when looking at the bottle causing me to have no other choice than to apply multiple coats making the polish thicker which causes my polish to chip quicker and not last as long. But other than that I love these polishes!

PECO recently completed its final electricity purchases to serve customers beginning January 1, 2011. Overall residential customer bills are expected to increase about 5% beginning in January. Average residential price to compare is 9.92 cents per kWh.
Philadelphia – PECO recently completed its final electricity purchases to serve customers beginning January 1, 2011. As a result of this and other changes, overall residential customer bills are expected to increase about 5% beginning in January. PECO's average residential price to compare is 9.92 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh). Customers may be able to save money by purchasing their electricity from a competitive electric generation supplier if supplier prices are lower than PECO's price to compare.
"This has been a year of change for our customers," said PECO President and CEO Denis O'Brien. "We are moving from capped rates to market prices for electricity and we are changing our delivery rates for the first time in decades. And with this purchase of power, we continued to secure electricity at lower wholesale market prices, reducing the overall impact to our customers."
In January the prices PECO and our customers pay for electricity will be based on electric market pricing, after having been capped for more than 10 years. At the same time costs to operate our electric delivery systems have been increasing. The 5% overall increase for residential customers is based on the results of all electricity purchases and the company's recent electric delivery rate case settlement, pending final approval of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.
For the typical residential customer, the increase is about $5 per month. Prices for PECO's small commercial customers are expected to decrease about 5% and prices for PECO's large commercial customers are expected to increase about 7%.
Customer bills are made up of basically two parts – the electricity used by customers and the cost to deliver that electricity to the customer. In total, the electricity used by customers – or the commodity charges – make up about 2/3 of a total bill. These electricity costs are passed along directly to customers at exactly the price that PECO pays to purchase power for our customers. These costs change quarterly, as market prices change. PECO will continue to update its price to compare quarterly to help customers evaluate offers from competitive suppliers.
The delivery charge, or the portion of the bill that covers PECO's costs to deliver electricity, is about 1/3 of the bill. These charges are set by PECO and approved by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC).
Customers can offset the impact of these changes by using less energy. Through PECO Smart Ideas, the company's full suite of energy saving and demand response programs:
Just by replacing five bulbs with CFLs and raising your thermostat two degrees during the summer, you can save more than $8/month – more than offsetting the expected increase. To learn more about saving energy and money with PECO Smart Ideas visit www.peco.com/SmartIdeas.
PECO also offers payment options, like Budget Billing, to help customers manage their bills. Budget Billing divides energy costs evenly throughout the year. Programs also are available to help customers who may be struggling to pay their energy bills. Through our Universal Services programs, we assist more than 130,000 low-income customers each year with reduced rates, free energy-efficiency improvements and Federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program funding.
Additional activity by competitive electric generation suppliers is expected as the market continues to develop. Customers interested in learning more about shopping with a competitive electric generation supplier can visit the Pennsylvania PA PUC's website. Whether customers are purchasing electricity from a competitive electric generation supplier or from PECO, PECO will continue to safely deliver electricity, provide billing and customer support, and respond to outages and other emergencies for ALL customers.
More Information:
Based in Philadelphia, PECO is an electric and natural gas utility subsidiary of Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC). PECO serves 1.6 million electric and 485,000 natural gas customers in southeastern Pennsylvania and employs about 2,400 people in the region. PECO delivered 83.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 39.4 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in 2008. Founded in 1881, PECO is one of the Greater Philadelphia Region's most active corporate citizens, providing leadership, volunteer and financial support to numerous arts and culture, education, environmental, economic development and community programs and organizations.

Stakeholder Consultation on the revision of Directive 97/68/EC on emissions from non-road mobile machinery engines Zveřejněno:: 15/01/2013, Poslední aktualizace: 21/02/2013
- Konečný termín:
- 08/04/2013.
The non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) sector covers a large variety of equipment types which are used in many different economic activities such as construction, agriculture, rail or inland waterway transport.
Combustion engines used in this machinery are regulated by Directive 97/68/EC which aims at reducing air pollutant emissions and providing a harmonised basis for placing these engines on the EU market.
Despite the limits set by Directive 97/68/EC and its subsequent amendments, the NRMM sector has become an increasingly important source of air pollution, in particular of NOx and particulate matter. In order to reverse this trend, the European Commission has been exploring different options for revising the Directive. The overall objective of the revision is to further contribute to the improvement of the air quality in Europe while at the same time ensuring the correct functioning of the internal market.
In this context, the European Commission is launching a public consultation to gather views from relevant stakeholders. The outcome of this consultation will inform the Commission's impact assessment and, if appropriate, the legislative proposal which the Commission intends to present in 2013.
