- Filed Under
Kirk Cousins was the last great captain at Michigan State and Max Bullough is the next one, with different styles but similar respect from their peers.
Cousins was a quarterback, an inspirational orator. Bullough is a linebacker, a fiery talker.
"He's just a great leader," sophomore quarterback Connor Cook said of Bullough, who will be honored along with 17 other seniors before No. 11 MSU hosts Minnesota on Saturday. "You can talk to him about anything, but he's also not afraid to call out anyone just to make sure our team is the best it can possibly be." ...

Awsome work!
Hi all. I havn't posted anything for a while as I have been busy with a few other projects. but one of those projects needs a map so here is a WIP for you comments and advice. The area is called Southern Cities. Done in Gimp and Inkscape. Please ignore the river infringements. I am aware of them so perhaps I can get some time off.

53 Years Later
Pitfalls over the Rockies
In June 1956, my young wife and I set out on a vacation flight from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Denver, Colo., in my Luscombe 8E. When measured on a map, Denver seems a short 360 miles away from Salt Lake, but this is deceiving because of the intervening Wasatch Mountains and also the high peaks of the Rocky Mountains west of Denver. The plan was to fly a circuitous route through Emigration Canyon, east of Salt Lake, and make a gas stop at Rawlins, Wyo. After Rawlins, a right-hand course was to be flown around Medicine Bow Peak. We'd then fly south above the plains east of the Rockies, some 70 miles past Fort Collins and Longmont, before landing at Denver's Stapleton Airport.
As with many planned trips, this one wasn't without its pitfalls. The first occurred when I was barely into Wyoming, when my low-frequency two-way Harvey Wells radio quit working. That meant there would be no more flying "the beam" on the airways in Wyoming and Colorado. And how was I to land at Stapleton without a radio? I still had my compass, my world air charts and the landmarks below. I had flown using dead reckoning and pilotage as a matter of course in those days, so that part seemed to be no problem.
Landing at Rawlins Airport can be a challenge on many fronts. It's at 7,000 feet, high on the Wyoming plains, and in the summer, the density altitude would put a strain on my airplane with a mere 85 hp to lift it into the thin air. The Rawlins runway isn't level, and I was cautioned to land uphill and takeoff downhill no matter what the wind conditions were. After landing, it was obvious that this was good advice: In the dirt was an Air Force C-82 Packet that had landed downhill and rolled past the runway's end.

|Genius of an organizer. Big brains, no brass. Now Sickles had the opposite problem, All Brass, but he would have struggled with the Jeopardy category "Your Head or a Hole In the Ground".
But seriously, the AOTP loved Little Mac even as they were marching off to Gettysburg. There are anecdotes telling of the morale of the AOTP soaring on the march north because they thought that Mac had been called back into service. All that Grant did with that army is owed at least in part to the organizing and training of MaClellan. They should have made him chief of staff and shoved Halleck into some obliviously obscure posting.

Sharp returns with new Aquos LCDs
updated 04:10 pm EST, Mon January 8, 2007
New Sharp Aquos LCDs
Like other TV manufacturers at CES, Sharp is aggressively promoting its new LCDs. These will be coming mainly through two Aquos lines, the D62Us and the D92Us. The former is playing host to revisions of the 46-inch LC-46D62U and the 52-inch LC-52D62U. Each will support 1080p and use Sharp's Advanced Super View/Black TFT technology, enabling a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1 (2,000:1 native). Tuners for ATSC, QAM and NTSC signals will be built in. Response times should go as low as 4ms in "Fine Motion" mode. The updated D62Us will arrive in October for $3,500 and $4,800.
The D92Us are completely new, representing the luxury end of Sharp's production. Three LCDs will be availble: the LC-42D92U, the LC-46D92U and the LC-52D92U, sized at 42, 46 and 52 inches. Improvements over the D62Us will include a third HDMI port, 15,000:1 dynamic contrast, and 120Hz frame rate conversion, which should aid eyes irritated by the 60Hz standard on most LCDs. An RS-232C terminal will allow blending into home automation systems. The 46D92U and 52D92U will be out this month for $4,200 and $5,300, with the 42D92U following in April for $3,500. Another, 65-inch TV called the LC-65D93U will ship in April for $11,000, but despite the name, will have the same features as the D92Us.

Dunbar Borough amends burning ordinance
Dunbar Council adopted an amendment to the borough's burning ordinance to include recreational campfires.
The amendment allows such recreational campfires to take place every day of the week if the fires are fueled only by dry firewood; smoke is kept to a minimum; fires are no greater than 3 feet in diameter and flame no higher than 3 feet; fire is supervised at all times; and extinguishing equipment such as a water hose or bucket are nearby.
All recreational fires should be totally extinguished and not smoldering when unattended.
Council said the only change to the existing ordinance will be the inclusion of recreational campfires; nothing about the current burning days and rules will change.
Councilman John Maddas voting against the motion.
In other business, council:
• Voted to hire a new part-time police officer for the borough. Joshua Osche will receive $20 an hour for a maximum of 20 hours a week for a 60-day probationary period. He joins the borough's two other part-time officers and one full-time officer.
• Heard from Tony Tristani with the Dunbar Borough Township Sewage Authority about the authority's plan to refinance a $4 million loan for its sewage project. By going with a different investor with lower interest rates, the authority would be able to save more than $300,000 during the next 30 years.
Tristani said nothing will change with the borough's or township's obligations, noting if the authority defaults on the loan, both municipalities pay on the unpaid percentage of the loan. He added that while the refinance will save the authority money, customers won't see a rate decrease or increase.
A meeting will be scheduled with the potential investors, the borough and the township to learn more.
• Asked residents to attend a public meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday in Dunbar Presbyterian Church concerning the Postal Service's findings about the Dunbar Post Office.
• Reminded residents that it's illegal to shovel snow on the roadways.
• Voted to install a "Truck Route" sign at the bottom of Highland Avenue to keep trucks from becoming stuck on York Street.
• Voted to allow two old-fashioned jail cells found during the renovations of the borough police station to be used by the Dunbar Borough Historical Society as a display for visitors to have their pictures taken behind bars. If council wants the jail cells back, they can do so with a majority vote.

Sammamish Forum Feb. 12
February 13, 2014
By Administrator
Watch your driving
On Tuesday, Jan. 21 at 8:03 a.m. on 244th Avenue, a woman in an SUV decided to ignore a school zone speed limit and flashing crosswalk lights. My 7-year-old son, on his way to school, came within inches of being killed as I watched.
Unfortunately, this is common. Every time I walk my son to Rachel Carson Elementary, someone drives past us going over the speed limit. About one in three times, someone blows by us, not only speeding, but through a lit pedestrian crossing.
Do you really think that speeding through a school zone gets you off the plateau faster?
Further, will it matter if you are late to work when a child is laying dead under your car?

City should leave
water districts alone
The city of Sammamish wants to takeover the Northeast Sammamish Water and Sewer District, which has the second best tasting drinking water in the entire United States. On Sept. 4, 2013, the City Council gave the city manager the authority to open "friendly discussions" about taking over the two water districts. In a non-friendly letter to city residents Jan. 8, the City Manager states that the city has the power to conduct a takeover of our water district without a vote.
As a 23-year customer of the district, I am totally opposed to the takeover of our district by the city. I am a retired Ph.D. environmental chemist with 24 years of experience in the analysis of organics in drinking water. If the city takes over the two water districts and to "find efficiencies" combines our well water with surface water, then EPA, where I worked, will require that our water be chlorinated.
Chlorination will produce many possible cancer-causing compounds such as chloroform, chlorinated nitromethane, chlorinated acetonitriles, chlorinated nitrosamines, and other chlorinated organics. Residents in our water district may find it necessary to either buy bottled water or to carbon filter their drinking water. And we would also be exposed to chlorinated organics every time we take a shower.
What concerns me is that the city has not passed a written resolution that the drinking water distribution system in the district will remain the same after a city takeover and that the city will never mix chlorinated surface water with our award winning non-chlorinated water.
What can we do to protect our drinking water? Residents of the district should email our council members and state that the council must pass a "No chlorination, no mixing of surface water resolution" before they exercise their power to conduct a hostile takeover of our Water District.
Citizens should also remind council members that we do have a vote. Citizens can vote out the current council. As a drinking water analysis chemist, I can assure Sammamish residents that this is a battle worth fighting for the sake of our children and our health.

Why we should be thankful for Andy Hill
As the author of the budget for the state senate, Andy has added $1 billion to the budget for K-12 education.
This is the budget that 89 percent of our legislators adopted. Yes, 89 percent including the Democrat legislators. Every teacher and school age child in the state should be thankful.
He blocked the requested, (and consistently granted in the past)
tuition increases for secondary education. Every college student (and their parents) in the state should be thankful.
He balanced the budget without gimmicks or tax increases.
Every taxpayer in the state should be thankful.
He has set our state budget on a course to have a very well funded rainy day fund within a couple of years instead of being in constant danger of being broke.
We, all the people of Washington State, should be thankful that we have Andy Hill in the state senate.
As Chairman for the 45th Legislative District Republicans, I am biased.
However, there is no bias needed to recognize the simple reality of what Andy has done for the people of this state. No spin is needed when the facts speak for themselves.
The Democrat Party needs to have someone on the ballot and now they have their opponent to Andy. He is completely untested as a representative of the public. But why would anyone give up a proven leader who has so ably and successfully represented us? Voters need to take a look at the facts and they will quickly recognize that we all win with Andy Hill representing us.

is Palliative Care?
Patients, Carers and Families
Finding and Using Evidence
CareSearch Hubs
To support improvement of the cultural competencies of specialist palliative care services to improve the delivery of palliative care to Koori people.
Improved awareness of palliative care services for the community; for Koori people and their families; and to assist Koori communities to understand the services available to them:
Strategies for the development of a framework that will facilitate:
Victoria adopted a consultative approach to this project that maximise the input of Aboriginal communities to the project and facilitated the development of networks and links between mainstream health services and Aboriginal organisations. The Victorian Department of Human Services entered into a service agreement with Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation Inc. (VACCHO) to undertake this project. The project team established a Project Reference Group, with representatives from key stakeholder groups (including palliative care providers and Aboriginal Health Workers).
In the first phase of the project, the project team reviewed existing practices, policies and resources to ensure appropriate resources were identified. A series of forums and workshops formed part of the consultation process. The Resource Kit was distributed widely throughout Victoria with over 250 copies sent to mainstream palliative care health services and Aboriginal Health Services. Consultation occurred in the following areas:
The Resource Kit was viewed positively by health workers. However, Project Officers found that the subject of palliative care in Indigenous communities tended to spark very strong emotions and raised issues of what was appropriate business for Indigenous women and men to discuss openly. Some Elders found the public discussion of issues within palliative care very confronting and others expressed relief at finding out that support was available.
In the second phase of the project, a two day workshop was held at Marysville in late 2005. This workshop was seen as a way for workers around the state to share experiences in palliative care service delivery and for the project to record what works and strategies on how improvement in palliative care service delivery to Koori people could be achieved.
Close links were established with Palliative Care Victoria and the Program of Experience in Palliative Approach (PEPA).

I just got my first record player and 12" record as a gift from my girlfriend. Nothing crazy expensive, an Audio Technica LP60 USB and "Opus Eponymous" by Ghost, which is a single 33 1/3 LP. I do not want to start any kind of quality war but compared to my FLAC files that are on my computer (being played through the same receiver and speakers as record player), I do feel the record sounds much more rich and alive (the best way I can explain it). I also just like the idea of buying a record and playing it, I have a little old-school in me. So I was looking into some other records that I would like have, some of my favorite albums like Metallica's "Master of Puppets". Amazon has 2 versions, a single 33 1/3 LP or 2 45 LP's. Would the 2 45 LP version be worth the additional ~$15 or would I really be splitting hairs at that point? I don't have any specific information on the 33 but 45s include the following information (if it's helpful in anyway):
"features two 45 rpm 180g vinyl discs pressed at RTI in
Stoughton gatefold jacket with universal Louder Faster
Heavier branded bellyband. The pressing was half-speed
mastered from the original analog tapes at Mobile Fidelity
for the ultimate audiophile listening experience."

The poster above me thinks Armstrong would be stopped. I really don't think that's possible - well, it could happenI suppose, but it's about as likely as Carlos Monzon stopping Marvin Hagler. I understand that most people are talking about cuts here rather than concussion, but still; Armstrong's skin wasn't particularly fragile until his best days were behind him.
Can't blame anyone for going with Saddler based on the Fritzie Zivic fight. But I can't imagine that scenario occuring very often, I mean, Armstrong's face was really torn and swollen. He couldn't even see the punches coming at him.
But we're talking about featherweight anyway. Although Armstrong would beat Zivic (he proved it, later) at his best, by 1940 he was worn and scarred, and probably slightly out of his depth after such a hectic career in a weight division above where he was most comfortable. There's a reason he rarely weighed in as a proper welterweight, and that's because he wasn't one. Neither was Saddler.
Nobody could deal with Armstrong at 126-130lbs, and I can't imagine Saddler being able to either. He was destroying the opposition.
And let us also remember that Saddler could be hit, and often.

Comfort for all: fantastic dream or emerging reality?
Are you sitting comfortably? Then Get Sust will begin its wintry tale – the ongoing saga of how post-occupancy evaluation, basic energy-efficiency measures and a sprinkling of government subsidies could deliver sustainable indoor comfort to the nation.
'Are you sitting comfortably?' – the phrase that launches a thousand fairytales has a deeper meaning for everyone involved in sustainability and the built environment. We're not talking desk height and screen breaks here, but good old-fashioned comfort – warmth, fresh air, glare-free lighting and acceptable levels of noisy distractions.
The drive to improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of buildings – to find out how they operate in practice and devise steps to reduce energy consumption – is closely entwined with the need to improve comfort. Health and sustainability neatly dovetail in what ought to be a virtuous circle of improvements. The difficulties come in understanding exactly what 'comfort' means, knowing what sort of external conditions we will need to temper in the future, and finding cost-effective ways to help those who are most in need.
Who knows what tomorrow brings?
It's a frosty old cliché, but true nonetheless, that the British love to talk about the weather. It's hardly surprising, when we have so much of it! December 2010 was one of the coldest Decembers in over 100 years, with average temperatures 5°C below the 1971–2000 average. Despite this, the Met Office confirmed that, globally, 2010 was one of the warmest years on record. Fast forward, and the last few months of 2011 have delivered unseasonal mildness – November 2011 was the second warmest November in over 100 years with only that of 1994 being warmer. We never really know what our wintery weather is going to throw at us.
At the global level, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the international guardian of climate-related statistics and predictions, published its 'special report on extreme weather' in November 2011. The report concludes that heavier rainfall, fiercer storms and harsher droughts are on the cards for developing countries, with problems for developed nations likely to include damaging heatwaves.
Although no one can say with 100% certainty what future outdoor conditions will be like, we can be certain that Homo sapiens cannot physiologically adapt quickly, so we will become ever more reliant on our buildings to shelter us from extremes.
When it comes to temperature, people have pretty exacting requirements. The comfort zone for most of us, most of the time, is 18-24°C. Too hot and we slow right down. If the heat is prolonged and extreme, we risk dehydration and heat exhaustion, possibly culminating in heart attack. And when things get cool and the temperature dips to 16°C, there is an increasing risk of respiratory disorders for people who are generally sedentary, particularly the ill and infirm or people with ongoing medical conditions such as asthma. For these people, when the temperature gets down to 12°C, the increased viscosity of the blood begins to put a strain on the heart and cardiovascular system, and hypothermia can begin after just a couple of hours' exposure to temperatures of around 9°C (the Health & Safety Executive provides guidance on work-related temperature requirements, while CIBSE Guide A offers definitive design guidelines for low-energy, sustainable indoor environments).
New ways to think about comfort
Current Building Regulations and related building services design guidance aim to deliver new buildings that meet our needs over the short- to medium-term, but there is always a need to be thinking ahead, and researchers are developing today the building modelling tools that will be used 10 or more years hence to design buildings for the unknowable climate of the 2100s. A team in the Netherlands, for instance, has recently published the results of its work to develop a mathematical model of 'thermal sensation', which could enhance building performance modelling techniques because it offers a more realistic view of comfort, based on neurophysiology rather than actual room temperatures.
Writing in the journal Indoor Air (Vol. 21, Issue 6), Boris Kingma and colleagues explain that humans do not sense temperature directly; sensations of warmth or cold are transmitted to the brain as neurological signals and there is a feedback mechanism which operates to regulate core body temperature in relation to surface temperature. The researchers used this knowledge to develop and test a more sophisticated model of human thermal comfort which, in turn, can enhance building modelling techniques.
Lighting is another aspect of comfort that can have a detrimental, though generally less dramatic, impact on people's health. Campaigns to use low-energy lighting in both homes and non-domestic buildings have successfully demonstrated the energy benefits of paying attention to lighting levels. But in terms of comfort, 'control' is king – especially in the office environment. At a November 2011 workshop organized by the network group SPONGE, Faye Wade, a graduate student at University College London (UCL), reported the results of her investigation of how human nature affects our behaviour in shared environments, i.e. do squabbles over lighting controls in open plan offices undermine their usefulness.
Providing lighting control over and above the basic on-off switch is known to improve occupant satisfaction in offices, but the success of a control strategy depends on how much natural light is reaching the person who wields the controller. Her study, of a new open-plan university office building, used the Building Use Studies (BUS) survey to gather occupants' feedback about the office lighting and controls, and analysed the feedback in relation to quantitative data on lux levels. Part of the methodology involved calculating and comparing the 'disagreement index' of groups of occupants. Although Wade did not observe any fighting over the lighting controller in this instance, her results did yield some ideas for immediate energy-saving improvements!
Wade's work is one of a swathe of graduate student reports collected by the Network for Comfort and Energy Use in Buildings (NCEUB), which is organized by some of the leading international experts on indoor comfort. The NCEUB's work covers the wide range of comfort issues and all building types.
The cold facts about existing buildings
While it is true that comfort is predominantly a subjective issue, it is now well-established that ongoing exposure to poor-quality indoor environments can be very detrimental to health and well-being. The link was first acknowledged by the World Health Organization in 1984, and the link between low indoor temperature and morbidity in the elderly was established in a UK Medical Research Council paper published in 1986 ('Low indoor temperatures and morbidity in the elderly', K. J. Collins, Age and Ageing).
In the UK, the Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA) of 1995 required local authorities to take steps to consider measures to improve the energy efficiency of all residential accommodation in their locality, and many councils targeted efforts at social housing and people living in 'fuel poverty' (where a household needs to spend more than 10% of its income to maintain an adequate level of warmth). Despite this and numerous cash-back and incentive schemes to help low-income households improve their energy efficiency, the problem remains and, with rocketing fuel prices, could get worse.
In May 2011, Professor Sir Michael Marmot, president of the British Medical Association, published the results of a major study by his team at UCL's Institute of Health Equity, The health impacts of cold homes and fuel poverty, which concluded that cold British homes increase the risk of mental and physical illness in children and young people. The report, co-sponsored by numerous charities, plus Friends of the Earth, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and National Energy Action, estimated that in 2009/2010 there were 25,400 excess winter deaths (EWDs), and that more than 20% of all EWDs can be attributed to the coldest quarter of the national housing stock, over and above the number of deaths that would have occurred in these homes regardless of the weather. Some 1.3 million children – equivalent to 13% of all children – live in homes that are at the bottom of the energy rating scale (i.e. rated F or G).
At the most fundamental level, these are people who have little control over their own comfort, and face the double whammy of being unable to avoid wasting costly warmth because of leaky building fabric or poorly performing appliances.
Shocking statistics, whatever the economic climate: what is being done about it?
The government's Warm Front scheme was relaunched in April 2011, with the aim of helping 90,000 low-income households to install energy-saving measures, particularly insulation, over two years (£110 million available in 2011/12 and £100 million in 2012/13). The government also warned the energy companies that they needed to work harder to improve their performance under the Carbon Emission Reduction Target (CERT), which obliges the main energy suppliers to help customers install energy-efficiency measures. That scheme has not performed as well as planned – indeed prior to its relaunch it had become notorious for the over-generous supply of energy-efficient light bulbs to puzzled homeowners. In 2010, new requirements were introduced to make companies concentrate on installing insulation. So far, so good.
Then in late November 2011, the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) launched a consultation on its new approach, the Green Deal, which will introduce the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) to replace CERT and the Community Energy Saving Programme (CESP), both of which will expire in 2012. It remains to be seen whether the energy companies will meet their current obligations or wait until the new regime is in place. Either way, there will still be a lot of families in cold and damp homes this winter.
Taking control of comfort
Those who are outside the target groups for government-backed schemes, yet who are struggling with rising fuel bills and uncomfortable conditions, need to find other ways to combat indoor discomfort. UCL PhD student Carrie Behar reported on one such case study at the SPONGE networking meeting in November. She has been working closely with residents at the Barbican development in central London to deliver a post-occupancy evaluation (POE) of more than 2000 flats in the estate by assessing occupants' overall satisfaction with their homes. Built in the 1960s, these Grade II listed apartments are of solid concrete construction with timber-framed single glazing, no insulation and electric underfloor heating which is centrally controlled. Not surprisingly, the dwellings have poor energy performance and thermal bridging problems. However, Behar found that the residents generally like their homes and rate them highly on the BUS scale for comfort, satisfaction and forgiveness.
However, her study revealed that the main way residents control indoor temperatures is by opening windows – wasting high-cost electrical heating. Worse still, the heating is charged as an average of delivered heat, so wasted heat puts up the bills of all residents, regardless of whether they were trying to conserve energy.
Conventional solutions, such as installing insulation, are not straightforward for these Grade II listed properties, but Behar's study identified some classic low-hanging fruit that will have an immediate impact on energy usage and occupant comfort: simply teaching residents how to change their hot water thermostats and deploy the trimmers which are the only way of controlling temperatures within each flat.
As numerous reports collected by NCEUB attest, there are many small and low-cost ways to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, but when it comes to comfort, there is mounting evidence that nothing works quite like putting the people in control.

The Liquid Facelift
Recently, many of our patients ask the impossible question. "What can I do without surgery, in the office and with no anesthesia to look great in a day or two?" Until recently there was nothing that could meet those demands.
Over the past year the availability of a number of new "Injectables" used in new ways have allowed cosmetic surgeons to perform remarkable "Facial Rejuvenations" that can last up to 2 years in the right patient. Each patient ages differently and therefore the technique and use of specific FDA approved compounds differs for each individual. These techniques usually require about 1 to 1 hours in the office.
There are two techniques based on the patient's ability to return to the office:
Technique 1 - The "Liquid Facelift"
This treatment is for patients who are unable to make more than one visit to our office. This procedure is performed in one visit, using a combination of:
- Radiesse™ for the cheeks, jaws, chin, and nasal folds.
- BOTOX® for the Brows and Forehead Rejuvenation.
- Juvederm™ for the lip border enhancement, Brow contour, or tear through lower eye correction.
Technique 2 - The "Liquid Facelift Royal"
This treatment is for patients who can return to the office for two additional visits, after the initial treatment. This would consist of three visits, 4-6 weeks apart. This procedure is performed using a combination of:
- Sculptra™ for the cheeks, jaws, chin and nasal folds as well as the smokers lines for the upper and lower lip areas.
- BOTOX® for the brows and forehead rejuvenation.
- Juvederm™ for the lip border enhancement, Brow contour, or tear through lower eye correction.
Click here for an example of technique 2.
The Liquid Facelift is truly the ultimate nonsurgical art form in facial cosmetic enhancement.
Most patients will return in six months to one year for 20 minute maintenance "tune -ups" (BOTOX® or Juvederm™ treatments). This allows patients to go to dinner the same evening without anyone knowing anything has been accomplished.

We sell our insurance products and services through appointed independent insurance agencies and agents ("Agent" or "Agents"). Because Agents also generally represent several of our competitors, our primary marketing strategy is to:
We pay Agents commissions and other consideration for business placed with us (and we do not authorize our Agents to receive other monies for our insurance). We seek to compensate our Agents fairly and in a way consistent with market practices.
Our Agent compensation programs may include one or more of the following depending on the Agent's overall business relationship with us:
In certain cases, an Agent may put additional commissions at risk and become obligated to pay us amounts if certain goals are not met.
As supporters of the independent insurance agency distribution system, we may provide Agents from time-to-time with tools and programs designed to preserve and strengthen the independent agency distribution system, including assistance with producer recruitment and/or training, loans, or loan guarantees. These tools and programs, which may be experimental, are provided to assist our Agents in the perpetuation of robust independent insurance agencies and are not conditioned on the imposition of extraordinary current or future production conditions.
We also distribute our insurance products to a limited extent through select insurance brokers which we compensate with some of the same compensation tools we use for Agents. If you have engaged a broker to place insurance with us, please ask the broker if any of the above described compensation arrangements are in effect with us.
Please direct questions regarding specific compensation to your Agent.

Green Deal Survey Update
Who's in The Know?
The updated Green Deal survey findings have never been published since they were gathered back in June 2012. With the details of the deal now public knowledge since its launch in November 2012, we thought now would be a good time to take a look back at the survey results in order to see it where most people opinions sat.
Save money or save the planet?
The one thing that was plainly obvious from the Green Deal survey was the fact that by far the great majority of homeowners are anxious to save money on their energy bills. But this desire is not fuelled by any sense of wanting to conserve
dwindling global resources. It is purely fiscal.In actual fact, when asked the question directly, 78% of Green Deal survey
respondents said that saving money on their energy bills was more important to them than helping to protect the environment. Only 28% nominated conservancy as their prime focus.
Energy saving and cost cutting go hand in hand
But somewhat fortuitously, most ways of cutting energy costs are generated by innovations that go towards husbanding finite raw materials. By creating new designs and technologies we are also making more efficient use of energy fuel sources.
Green Deal survey results
In spite of the groundswell of desire to cut energy costs, there is still a long way to go. Whilst many households have taken some positive steps towards cutting costs, many are yet to do so. The survey showed:
• Only 40% of homes have cavity wall insulation
• Only 26% of homes have solid wall insulation
• 68% of properties are yet to install double glazed doors and windows
• 56% of households do not have energy efficient boilers
• Only 30% of households have installed solar panels
On a more positive note:
• 90% of households are now using energy saving light-bulbs
• 63% of homes have had draught proofing installed
• 75% of properties have had loft installation installed.
Cost of installations is prohibitive What is patently obvious from the figures shown above is that most people's decisions on whether or not to install certain energy saving features, seems to be down to cost. This is borne out by the Green Deal survey recording an overwhelming 71% of respondents who answered that high installation costs were a
prohibitive factor.
Who knows about the Green Deal?
At the time that the Green Deal survey was being carried out, only 41% of people had actually heard of it. Of this 41%, only 12% said that they thought they knew much about it. It would be very interesting to conduct another poll after the
event of the launch to see how much these figures have varied. But strange though it may seem, having established that 71% of respondents blamed the high cost of installation for the low take-up, only 37% said the Green Deal would tempt them to change their minds.
Creatures of habit
It does seem that we are creatures of habit, used to doing what we know. This same feeling
Spreading the word
When all is said and done, the Green Deal survey shows that it boils down to the public's general lack of knowledge about the Green Deal itself. The government themselves have failed miserably to get the message across. So now it is down to all of us to try and spread the word. In light of this, the NSBRC are committed and prepared to support the cause by hosting and promoting conferences, and by running events and workshops to publicise the new opportunities that Green Deal financing

Office of the Executive Vice President
boston college
Welcome to the Executive Vice President's web site
Some of the major projects we are currently focused on:
In its Strategic Plan, Boston College sets seven strategic directions that call for the University to become a national leader in liberal arts education and student formation, and to enhance its research initiatives in select natural sciences and in areas that address urgent societal problems. The plan also supports leadership initiatives in BC's graduate and professional schools, expands the University's international programs and partnerships, and commits BC to becoming the world's leading Catholic university and theological center.
The campus master plan reinforces the priorities of the strategic plan and the mission of Boston College by shaping the physical environment of the campus to create the space and facilities required to implement the strategic initiatives.
A new department within the Institutional Research, Planning, and Assessment Department of Boston College. Administrative Program Review, currently in development, will coordinate the program review process of administrative departments.
Business Continuity Planning is the process of developing a plan of action, and utilizing it to restore an organization's operational capabilities following a disaster or other emergency that curtails that operation. It is an extension of emergency response that begins when the situation is stabilized and continues until the organization is returned to normal operations.
University Core Systems Project
The University Core Systems Task Force has been charged with developing recommendations for an overall approach and for establishing priorities for replacing BC's student information systems with applications that are state-of-the-art and student centered.

NIGCO INDIANS. This name apparently occurs only in the baptismal records (1730) of San Antonio de Valero Mission in San Antonio. Although J. R. Swanton listed Nigcos as a separate Coahuiltecan band, it seems likely that Nigco is a variant of some other group name, possibly Manico. The Manico Indians lived west and southwest of San Antonio in the late seventeenth century.

Yesterday Comikaze 2013 kicked off with with Mattel Mattypalooza panel and with it, two new Masters of the Universe Classics reveals. Announced this weekend were Flutterina, receiving her first toy since 1985 and Intergalactic Skeletor (who is also "New Adventures of He-Man" Skeletor, but apparently there was a rights issue with using the words "New Adventures").
Intergalactic Skeletor comes with his havoc staff and an alternate battle-damaged Faker head. The Faker head was still in prototype form at the show so it didn't sit properly on the neck peg of the figure.
Flutterina comes with her wings (which are articulated at the connection point) her sword and shield. The Flutterina figure at the show was also a prototype so her head was not connected properly and sat high on the figure and she was not able to hold he sword.
The other new item shown was the promotional cross sell poster that will come with Castle Grayskull ONLY to fans that pre-ordered a Castle in the original order window. It will NOT come with castles ordered on the "Day of" sale date. The poster shown was not quite final. There will still be a handful of tweaks to it. The interesting thing to note about the poster is that the figures are in the poster in chronological order according to the storyline in the bios. It starts with Standor and ends with The Mighty Spector.
We will have the rest of our Comikaze 2013 galleries up soon in the "GALLERY" section of AFi.

In an age of tweets, status updates and technological solitude, perhaps it's telling that the one thing that can truly make the world stop and pay attention is something as old as civilization: fire and a stream of white smoke.
The selection of Pope Francis - Argentinian Jorge Mario Bergoglio - as head of the Catholic Church completes a ritual that winds its way back to St. Peter, a disciple of Jesus.
But the series of firsts that he ushers in (South American, Argentinian, Jesuit) could portend a moment in which the church - often criticized as behind the times - arrives in the new millennium. ...

Kale is a good choice for gardeners who want to start from seeds indoors and then transplant outside in warmer weather.

About a decade ago, American homeowners and members of community gardens earnestly toiled in their backyards and in rented garden plots to save money on groceries.
Home-grown veggies were cheaper than those available in the local supermarket and they still can be, says horticulturalist Stephanie Turner, but restraint is essential.
Today's grow-your-own gardeners, she says, generally are more interested in healthier living than in filling pantries with preserved vegetables and fruits. Sometimes gardeners want a variety they won't find at a local nursery. ...

nicely done. Wish you had the rest of the middle section of the song done though :)
I know it seems unpractical, but Petrucci never plays in C-standard tuning. He would be playing this on a 7-string guitar on fret 1. It makes everything a bit harder, I know but that's how songs like As I Am and In the Name of God are played. Work on the drums a bit too.

Humpback WhalesEvery December we eagerly await the arrival of the Humpback Whales to the Big Island.
The whales travel from their feeding grounds in Alaska to the Hawaiian Islands for their mating. They stay in Hawaii until April. Humpbacks are truly intelligent animals who make the longest migration of any mammal.
Their presence along the Kona coast makes each charter trip on the ocean a possibility to see something amazing. You never know how inquisitive they might be, or what aerial display they may have in store for us. They are awe-inspiring and majestic and we are very blessed to witness part of their life on a daily basis through out the whale season.
Humpback Whales frequent the warm Hawaiian waters in the winter months (December-April). Almost all of the Humpback whale behavior seen in Hawaii is related to mating or giving birth. As a general rule, adult Humpback Whales will not feed while they are in Hawaiian waters. They rely on stored energy in the form of blubber to sustain themselves and their young for the 3-5 months they are away from their feeding grounds in Alaska. Humpback whales mainly feed on krill and small fish found in the arctic waters of Alaska during the summer months. It is estimated that a Humpback Whale will swim 10, 000-16,000 miles during the course of one year.
There are several types of behavior one could witness from majestic aerial displays above water to beautiful songs underwater. Tourists and locals alike can observe the whales from shore or by boat. On a calm day whale spouts can be spotted from miles away.
When a whale exhales it is called a "Blow" or "Spout". The exhaled breath of a whale comes out of its blow hole with tremendous pressure. The pressure and force of the blow is so high that it vaporizes the sea water around the blow hole forming a vertical column of water vapor. "Blows" are very easy to spot. If you are close when they blow you can hear the exhale, as illustrated in the video below.
The iconic shot of a Humpback whale's tail is what most people want to see and capture with their cameras. This tail has unique markings that enable researchers to identify, catalogue and keep track of individual whales.
Unknown to most spectators is that this tail-up dive indicates a deep dive by the whale and it will stay below the surface for up to 30 minutes. The length of a dive for a humpback whale is largely dependent on what the whale is doing.
Slow meandering whales will stay down for 10-20 minutes, while whales involved in a heat run will only stay down about 2-5 minutes. Respectively these breath holds can be compared to a human's breath hold time while relaxing on the sofa versus their breath hold time just after sprinting.
Whales breach for many different reasons. One common thought is adult males will breach to assert and communicate their dominance to surrounding whales.
Mothers will show their young how to breach which can be quite a cute encounter to watch. Whale calves like human babies learn from their parents and also through trial and error. The mother whale will show her calf several times how to breach while the baby tries to imitate its mother.
Whales may also breach to remove parasites from their bodies or just for fun.
When the whales body lands in the water, it radiates out a sound and vibration to other animals nearby. The thought is: The louder and stronger the sound; the bigger, stronger and more desirable the mate.
There are other ways the whales use their bodies to send sounds through the water.
Tail slapping is another way whales can lure in a mate or communicate with surrounding whales.
Whales will hang head down in the water and slap their tales on the surface with great force. A large whale tail slapping at the correct angle can be heard miles away. They can also use their pectoral fins for similar reasons but the sound is not as great. The larger the surface area hitting the water along with the amount of power, equals a louder sound, a whale's tail slap when done correctly can sound like a cannon going off.
Perhaps one of the most astonishing and beautiful sounds of a whale is their singing. A whale song is a highly complex system of sounds linked together and repeated to convey a theme to other whales. Studies have shown that it is one of the most complex audio displays in the animal kingdom (other than humans). Only the male humpback whales sing and most of it is done in the whale's wintering grounds. An individual will sing for several hours even though the song itself is only about 15 minutes long.
A whale song is made up of 5-7 "verses" or "stanzas" that are linked together forming a song. Each verse has a different meaning. Every year the songs will change just slightly until after 5-7 years the song is completely different from its original form. All the whales in the northern pacific sing the same verses and songs, meaning the whales in Hawaii, Japan, and Mexico will not only sing the same song but also change and morph their versus the same so that the songs stay the same. There is no scientific explanation for how whales who are thousands of miles apart can simultaneously sing and morph the same songs.
Whale song recorded in Hawaii during one of our charters
Mothers must come to the warm tropical waters to give birth to their young which are called calves. The babies are born with no blubber to insulate them from the cold arctic waters. When born the calf weighs between 1 and 2 tons and is about the same size as the mothers head. Calves are positively buoyant at birth so they can float to the surface for their first breath. While in Hawaii the baby whales will nurse from the mothers and put on weight to prepare for the long swim back to Alaska. The young will nurse between 6-12 months. Some calves will follow their mothers back to Hawaii the following winter while others will stay in Alaska. Each mother and calf pair are different.
As we said before most of what happens in Hawaiian waters has to do with reproduction. The Males are the ones that compete for the female's attention. Heat or competition runs are a rare to witness but extremely amazing to see. The strength and powerfulness of the animals is truly visible in these situations. Whales involved in competition runs are there to compete for dominance. A male whale will head lunge, hold down and tail slap other males to bully them out of the competition. There is usually a female in the area that males are trying to mate with. It has been reported that whales have died as a result of competition runs because it is so competitive.

Asura's Wrath will quite possibly be the most insane game of 2012. Absolute rage, battles with monstrous gods, truly intense gameplay. You can't even begin to comprehend the complete madness of this game without seeing the trailers. Asura's Wrath is almost indescribable…I mean, this crazy-eyed metal looking god towers over the Earth and uses the tip of his monstrous finger to attack.
The premise of Asura's Wrath is quite interesting – you play a god, Asura, "stripped of his powers," seeking revenge on various gods. Asura channels his rage to aid him in his fight against the deities as he tries to save his daughter, Mithra, from the Seven Deities. Long, long ago (many thousands of years), Asura was accused of the Emperor's murder and returned home to find his daughter kidnapped and his wife, Durga, murdered. He discovers that his fellow gods have Mithra trapped in a glass capsule. Despite his best efforts, Asura is attacked by the god Deus and falls to Earth, having discovered that Deus killed the Emperor in order to bring about "The Great Rebirth." A young girl's prayers awaken Asura 12,000 years later (now that's what I call sleeping in!), and he saves the girl from "ape-like creatures." The Seven Deities against whom Asura seeks vengeance have enhanced strength due to Mithra's powers. Eventually, Asura's war friend, Yasha, also joins in the fight against the deities. Kasuhiro Tsuyachiya, producer of Asura's Wrath says, "Asura's Wrath takes elements from Asian mythology and blends them with science fiction."
The game is a bit cheesy at points (ex. screaming comparable to Vader's ridiculous "Nooo!" in Episode III, the enemy growling, "Do you think a mere monkey like you can defeat a god!?" though it's probably the voice acting that really pushes it over the edge to supreme cheesiness). Overall Asura's Wrath looks fun. I mean, who doesn't like hack and slash games? Director Seiji Shimoda says the primary focus of gameplay is fury, as it is "a very native emotion in all humans" and will help set Asura's Wrath apart from other games of the genre. Asura's Wrath definitely encapsulates fury, there's no doubt about that. Asura is an absolute frenzy of rage. You will feel an immense sense of power while playing the game, pelting monstrous enemies with fireballs, spawning extra arms to brutally attack. Gameplay is very interactive, as you must time the buttons that flash across the screen to avoid attacks. There are also points where you must press buttons repeatedly to lift heavy objects or increase your attack power. Experience the full fourteen minute trailer for yourself – from the cheesy voice to awesome gameplay. It is quite something. This trailer is complete insanity – rage in its primal form.
KitGuru says: Asura's Wrath has a release date of February 21st for North America, and February 24th for Europe. What do you think? Cheesy or brilliant? We at KitGuru can't wait to see what reviewers think of the madness that is Asura's Wrath.

We have a secured WCF service with WsHttpBinding, Client & Server certificates & transport security with Claim Based Authorization.
Everything works fine 50 % of the time. When we do request to a secure endpoint, we get the correct response. But if we send the same request again immidiatly after the first we get the following response:
The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'.
If we then send a request again, we get normal behaviour. So the odd requests work and the even not.
But after some more investigation in the problem. We noticed that if there is at least 1:40 minutes between the previous request, we don't get the error response.
What we can confirm from the debugger and logging. The client sends the credentials to the service. We don't enter System.ServiceModel if we have the Authentication response. In the IIS trace logs we get this on a good request:
Authentication: SSL/PCT
User from token: Domain\CertifacteUserName
and this on a bad request:
Authentication: NOT_AVAILABLE
User from token:
Also in the IIS Trace logging. If we send the second request, we see that the ConnId and RawConnId are the same on both requests. And if we make multiple successful request (By allowing some time between requests) they are different for each request.
It seems to me IIS is not getting the Credentials we send, when they are there. Is this due to caching? Or something else? Does anyone has a solution.

Kareena Kapoor is currently the heart throb of the nation with her character of Divya in the Salman Khan starrer Bodyguard. Many are tearing into the movie because of its different storyline, weird action sequences, and basically the entire package. However, some will agree that the movie would not have been the success that it has seen if it were not for Kareena's turn of playing a cute young thing that falls in love with the wrong man at the wrong time. Here are five must watch Kareena Kapoor movies, which you should add up in your DVD collection right about now.
Golmaal 3 has worked for many reasons, some of them being Mithun, Mithun and Mithun. However, Kareena Kapoor stood her stead in the presence of acting greats like Mithun and Ratna Pathak Shah. Her comic timing in this movie was perfect, and the rapport that she shared with the crew was evident in the lighter sequences in the movie. The movie was quite a success and it heralded Kareena Kapoor as an actor of repute.
Golmaal 3 is a first in many ways in the Indian film industry. It is the first movie to have three movies in its franchise. It is also the first third movie in a franchise to be extremely successful, and it might be the most successful franchise movie in Bollywood currently.
Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapur were once an item, and there were three movies that they starred in. Out of these three, one was released after a long while, and the chemistry between the two had already fizzled out. The most successful movie starring the then real life couple was Jab We Met, but Chupke Chupke also had quite an engrossing scenario. In the movie, Kareena Kapoor plays the mute daughter of a very rich man, and Shahid Kapur plays a villager who is in trouble, and their paths cross.
The movie has Kareena Kapoor playing a mute character for the first time, and she certainly does justice to the role. It is because of her that the pathos of a flawed love story is communicated to the audience in a better manner.
Jab We Met made Kareena Kapoor the darling of the masses as well as the classes. She charmed the younger crowd with her character of a bubbly, girl full of life, and won the sympathy of the older generation when her character is deceived by everyone but herself. This was the second movie with Shahid Kapoor and was directed by the maverick Imtiaz Ali, who is all set to recreate the magic with his Ranbir Kapoor Nargis Fakhri starrer Rockstar.
Kareena Kapoor's character in Jab We Met is iconic today, and is more or less considered a template for the newer female actors who have to play the role of the cool gal next door. Jab We Met was not just a commercial success, but it also won accolades for being a critically well-made movie. It was the movie that heralded the wave of new age romantic stories into Bollywood.
This one is said to be her career best role. In Chameli, she is paired with Rahul Bose, and plays the role of a sex worker, who suddenly meets the high profile Rahul Bose. This one was another critically as well as commercially successful movie. Rahul Bose showed up as the stiff upper lip high class person and Kareena Kapoor played the role of a street smart sex worker with elan. The movie is still considered to be one of the must watch movies in Indian cinema.
Chameli was so important because it was one of the first movies that portrayed a sex worker with a staggering reality. The woman was not trapped in her life, nor was she very happy about her position in the big picture. Kareena Kapoor played the character with a bitter, angsty reality that made the character a hit with the classes and the masses alike.
Of course, no list about Kareena Kapoor is complet without Omkara. The Vishal Bharadwaj epic movie, based on the Shakespearan tragedy Hamlet had Kareena Kapoor and Ajay Devgn play two destined to die lovers. Kareena Kapoor was critically applauded for her role, and it basically injected life into her otherwise mundane career graph. Once she played this role, she was off the shelf for the typical girl next door, hero oriented movies, and she was offered more serious, better roles that suited her.
Omkara is a landmark in Indian cinema. It is the first movie to give a realistic portrayal of the crime and grime in rural India. It is also one of the few movies that gave mainstream actors well written roles, which stamped their authority as actors in Bollywood.
These are the five must watch movies starring Kareena Kapoor, but the list does not end here. She first showed sparks of brilliance in the Shah Rukh epic Asoka. Her movie Tashan, though slammed at the box office was actually pretty good cinema and starred her present beau Saif Ali Khan with Askhay Kumar. She also starred with Saif Ali Khan in Kurbaan, a movie that was loosely inspired from Arlington Road. She played the role of a woman who is surrounded by terrorists, and finally finds out that her husband is a terrorist too. The performance is considered to be one of the most understated performances of that year.

Though the common cold and seasonal influenza share several symptoms, there are points of differentiation that will help you identify which you may have and seek proper treatment. It is important to tell the difference, as the flu can result in more serious health complications, while the cold likely will not.
Maintaining good posture is a simple yet effective way to keep the structures in the back and spine in good working order. In fact, good posture and back support are essential in reducing back and neck pain. Even sitting at a desk all day can wreak havoc on the back and neck, and result in painful strains.
Vision problems affect one in 20 preschoolers and one in four school-aged children. Vision problems can begin at an early age; therefore it is important that children receive proper eye care. Untreated problems can worsen and lead to permanent vision loss and delayed development. Because it is possible for your child to have a serious vision problem without being aware of it, infants should be screened for common eye problems during their regular pediatric appointments.
H1N1 flu is an infection caused by the influenza A virus. It is a respiratory disease of pigs; however, human cases of H1N1 have been identified in the U.S. as well as internationally.

Sun exposure is the most preventable risk factor for skin cancer, including melanoma. You can have fun in the sun and decrease your risk of skin cancer. Here are some tips on how to safely enjoy your time in the sun.
Caffeine myth or caffeine fact? It's not always easy to know. Chances are you have some real misperceptions about caffeine. For starters, do you know the most common sources of caffeine? Well, maybe two of the sources aren't too hard to name -- coffee and tea leaves. But did you know kola nuts and cocoa beans are also included among the most common caffeine sources? And do you know how much caffeine content can vary from food to food? Turns out it's quite a lot actually, depending on the type and serving size of a food or beverage and how it's prepared.
The holidays are here and it's usually a time of celebration but for some, it may be a time of self-evaluation, reflection on the past and even anxiety about the upcoming year.

Big Sean is releasing his debut album Finally Famous on June 28, 2011 and the video for his second single "I Do It" has been making some buzz around the net. This was obviously a low budget video and features gratuitous shots of designer clothes, jewelry and strangely enough Sean's mouth and eyes. That maybe fun for some of you to sit through, but I honestly stopped paying attention to the video and nodded my head to the track.
This track is all about stuntin' and it does a great job at that featuring a pretty slick beat from No I.D. I definitely enjoyed this track and it makes me want to see what is in store on his album. With so many heavyweights co-signing him, it could end up really good or really bad. So readers, what do we think?
