Roar of disgust at radical EU plan for classic cars
Posted: September 07, 2012|
Bureaucrats in Brussels want to make modified and most classic cars illegal under radical reforms which would affect millions of Brits, it emerged yesterday.
The European Commission has proposed a shake-up of the MoT which could cost thousands of jobs and cripple an industry.
If approved, all vehicles would have to remain identical to the specification they were in when they left the factory, covering everything from uprated brakes on a classic car to adding larger alloy wheels to a hot hatch.
The Department for Transport has now written to 240 organisations asking for their thoughts on the EU's proposals, with a large number expressing concerns.
One of the suggestions is that all "components of the vehicle must comply with characteristics at the time of the first registration. This may prevent most modifications to vehicles without further approval of the vehicle".
This would affect millions of motorists who spend billions of pounds per year modifying cars as a hobby or for safety.
Motoring organisations including the AA and the Association of Car Enthusiasts (ACE), have stepped forward to criticise the "ridiculous" proposals.
Vanessa Guyll, from the AA, said: "We don't want this and we're very much against it.
"If every car with a modification was breaking down and having problems then that would be different but they don't. Most modifications don't affect a car's safety. This would affect everything from changing a car's wheels to fitting a bodykit.
"No one enjoys taking their car for an MoT but our system is pretty good. It would cost testing stations a lot and there is not much money to be made from an MoT. The plan is ridiculous."
ACE's Barry Cornes said the proposals were unbelievable and unworkable, adding: "You would need to know every minute detail about every model of car ever made.
"You can take an older car like the Jenson Interceptor and have it completely overhauled with modern components for £100,000. The inference is that it would then become illegal.
"Lots of older cars underwent modifications like brake lights and wipers to make them safer. They would be illegal. How is that possible?
"We think it is totally farcical. This is so frightening when you consider the amount of jobs which could be lost. I haven't heard from anyone who thinks it is a good idea."
The EU also wants to exempt all cars more than 30 years old from testing, providing the vehicle "has been maintained in its original condition, including appearance".
This is based on the vehicle having not "sustained any change in technical characteristics of its main components".
Classic cars which fail to meet the criteria would be subject to new regulations. The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs labelled the plan "unworkable and completely unacceptable". It said in a statement: "Modifications, alterations and improvements are all part of the history of the motor vehicles and the older the vehicle, the more likely it has been altered at some stage.
"There is no database of original specifications for UK vehicles, so testing to original 'technical specifications' is simply pie-in-the-sky."
More than 28,000 people are employed in the historic car industry in the UK, with the FBHVC estimating it contributes £4.3 billion to the economy.
The UK Independence Party has been inundated with letters from concerned motorists, claiming to have had "the biggest postbag in years".
Ray Finch, press officer at UKIP, said: "British people are known for their hobbies and people who enjoy classic and modified cars hate this. It is interfering for the sake of interfering."
A statement from the DfT said: "This document is a proposal rather than final legislation. It is still far too early to comment on specifics of the legislation."

Networking and Data Center Salary Survey: Is 2012 What You Expected?
Seventy percent of managers said they expect a bonus this year; 57% of networking and data center staff members reported the same, according to our 2012 Network Computing Salary Survey. In large part, all respondents expected the bonuses and direct cash payments to be based on personal performance (59% of 403 staff members receiving bonuses; 64% of 335 managers).
The company plays a big factor in bonuses, apparently: 43% of staff members said their organizations' performance will lead to bonuses; 19% cited company profit-sharing plans; 16% said their divisions' performance would have an impact.
Interestingly, bonus opportunities ranked third-from-last on the list of what matters most to staffers; 14% cited it among seven responses allowed per individual. That number holds steady with 2011's results.

There are few times in history when the S&P 500 has been within 1% or less of its upper Bollinger band (two standard deviations above the 20-period moving average) on daily, weekly and monthly resolutions; coupled with a Shiller P/E in excess of 18 – the present multiple is actually 22.3; coupled with advisory bullishness above 47% and bearishness below 27% - the actual figures are 51% and 24.5% respectively; with the S&P 500 at a 4-year high and more than 8% above its 52-week moving average; and coupled, for good measure, with decelerating market internals, so that the advance-decline line at least deteriorated relative to its 13-week moving average compared with 6-months prior, or actually broke that average during the preceding month. This set of conditions is observationally equivalent to a variety of other extreme syndromes of overvalued, overbought, overbullish conditions that we've reported over time. Once that syndrome becomes extreme - as it has here - and you get any sort of meaningful "divergence" (rising interest rates, deteriorating internals, etc), the result is a virtual Who's Who of awful times to invest.
Consider the chronicle of these instances in recent decades: August and December 1972, shortly before a bull market peak that would see the S&P 500 lose half of its value over the next two years; August 1987, just before the market lost a third of its value over the next 20 weeks; April and July 1998, which would see the market lose 20% within a few months; a minor instance in July 1999 which would see the market lose just over 10% over the next 12 weeks, and following a recovery, another instance in March 2000 that would be followed by a collapse of more than 50% into 2002; April and July 2007, which would be followed by a collapse of more than 50% in the S&P 500, and today.
The prior instances were sometimes followed by immediate market losses, and were sometimes characterized by extended top formations - which produce a sort of complacency as investors say "see, the market may be elevated and investors may be over-bullish, but the market is so resilient that it's ignoring all that, so there's no reason to worry." Ultimately, however, the subsequent plunges wiped out far more return than investors achieved by remaining invested once conditions became so extreme. We are in familiar territory, but that territory generally marks the mouth of a vortex.
Based on ensemble methods that capture a century of evidence – from Depression-era data, through the New Deal, World War, the Great Society, the electronics boom, the energy crisis, stagflation, the great moderation, the dot-com bubble, the tech crash, the housing bubble, the credit crisis, and even the more recent period of massive central bank interventions – our estimates of prospective market return/risk have been negative since April 2010 and have remained negative even as new data has arrived. Since early March, those estimates have plunged into the most negative 0.5% of historical instances.
It's worth noting that the S&P 500 posted a negative total return between April 2010 and November of last year. Of course, the market has also enjoyed a risk-on mode since then. Through Friday, the S&P 500 has achieved a total return of nearly 25% since our return/risk estimates turned negative in early 2010. Defensiveness has clearly been taxing in that respect. But this doesn't remove the question of whether the market's recent gains are durable, much less whether they will be extended. Corporate insiders certainly don't seem to think so – their sales have tripled since July, to a rate of six shares sold for each share purchased.

Spartans Rout Cardinals in 15-Run BarrageFebruary 28, 2014
TAMPA, Fla.—The No.1 ranked University of Tampa baseball team dominated Saginaw Valley State University by a score of 15-6 Friday afternoon at the UT Baseball Field.
With the win the Spartans improve to 12-1 on the year and extended their win streak to five games, while the Cardinals drop to 0-1 in their first contest of the season.
Tampa had a number of key contributors in their offensive explosion as five different players ended the game with two hits. Senior slugger Tyler Ding led UT with four RBI and a pair of hits, including a double. Premier hitters Orlando Rivera and Michael Danner both went a perfect 2-for-2 on the day.
Pinch-hitter Quinn Pippin came into the game and blasted a first-pitch, two-run homer to deep right field to extend Tampa's lead in the fourth. Catcher Nick Tindall also contributed, hitting 2-for-3 in the game with two RBI.
The Spartans maintained a 1-0 lead heading into the bottom half of the third inning when UT's offense came to life. A lead-off Connor Obrochta walk and back-to-back singles by Rivera and Ding, began the plethora of Tampa runs. After a Danner walk, Tindall and Stephen Dezzi followed-up with two singles of their own. Tampa led 10-0 after three and never looked back.
Pippin's home run in the fourth further increased the Spartan lead to 13-1.
Starting pitcher Trey Oest (5-0) threw seven innings allowing five runs and striking out nine batters. Visiting pitcher Shane Cochran picked up the loss after pitching two innings.
Tampa will continue its homestand with a three-game set against Walsh University, with a double header scheduled for Saturday at 3 p.m. Live stats as well as live video webcast will be made available through www.tampaspartans.tv.
Fans may follow University of Tampa athletics on Twitter (www.twitter.com/utspartans), Facebook (www.facebook.com/tampaspartans), YouTube (youtube.com/utathletics) and Instragram (tampaspartans).

MINNEAPOLIS – When
I think of Keith Ballard's hometown, I always think of cars. Ballard,
a sophomore defenseman for Minnesota, hails from the tiny hamlet
of Baudette, Minn. In addition to being home of Willie the Walleye
(which is likely the largest concrete depiction of a fish in the
218 area code) Baudette is the county seat of Lake of the Woods
County, which just happens to be the most sparsely populated of
Minnesota's 87 counties. That might have something to do with
the fact that roughly one-third of the county is a lake, but that's
another matter.
One reason for the connection in my head between Baudette and
cars is that in the summer of 1985, my mother drove me the 36
miles from my hometown to Baudette to take my drivers' license
test. I scored a 76 (out of a possible 100) to become a licensed
driver in Minnesota. I still offer proof of my success that day
now and then when I enter bars and the bouncer says, "I.D.,
Another reason
for the connection is that I remember coming out of a movie at
the Baudette Theater one night on a date when I was in high school
and it was approximately 261 below zero (not an uncommon thing
when you live on the Canadian border). I promptly flooded my red
and white 1980 Citation, killed the battery, and had to call my
parents to come give the girl and me a ride home. I had better
dates. I'm guessing she did too.
Ballard and
his Gopher teammates spent much of this past season performing
like my old Citation in cold
weather. Namely, getting them started was a chore. Barely a month
ago, in their final regular season home
series at Mariucci Arena, the Gophers found themselves trailing
Denver by three goals in the second period on two consecutive
nights. That they came back for a tie and a win in those two games
is a testament to the talent and drive that Don Lucia has assembled.
But lately,
there have been no comebacks necessary in Gopherland. In the WCHA
Final Five title game versus Colorado College (then ranked #1
in the nation), it was 3-0 for Minnesota 5:25 into the game. In
the NCAA West Regional opener versus Mercyhurst, it took 65 seconds
for the Gophers to get a lead. And Saturday in the Gophers bid
for a return trip to the Frozen Four, it was 1-0 after 13 seconds,
and 2-0 after 98 seconds.
Ballard was
named to the All-Regional team after scoring three goals and adding
an assist this weekend. He says that the rapid change from slow
starting to first-minute explosions has been a matter of self-education.
"It might
be one of those situations where you learn from your mistakes,"
Ballard said. "We're ready to play, finally."
to Thomas Vanek, the regional's MVP, the quick starts have been
the best way to get a persistent coaching staff off of the players'
"We kind
of got sick of the coaches yelling at us, so we picked it up right
away," said Vanek, with a laugh.
For Lucia,
it's not a matter of persistence. His feeling is one of relief
and of the growth that his team has experienced since opening
the season on October 12 versus Ohio State.
through the WCHA season, I think we had 12 goals in the first
period, which was last in the league," he said. "We've
developed a lot from where we were in the fall to where we are
those trips to Ballard's hometown when I was a teen, I could say
the same about myself. One certainly develops a little bit between
the ages of 16 and 33. But in that time, I've learned some of
the same things that the Gophers have learned over the course
of the 2002-03 season. Namely, that no matter what the Shell Answer
Man says, a jackrabbit start beats a cold weather start anytime.
Envision the plot of a really bad revenge drama. You
know, something starring Patrick Swayze in one of those grainy
VHS flicks that's next to "Ishtar" and
"Timecop" on the near-empty shelves of your neighborhood
Mr. Movies late on a Friday night when there's a blizzard coming.
In this film, a young hotshot sniper seeks to revenge something
bad that happened years ago to a member of his family that he
never knew.
Sounds bad, right? For Ferris State, a version of that plot amounted
to a nightmare.
Matt Koalska took just 13 seconds to put his Golden Gopher teammates
up 1-0 on Ferris State in the waning light of a Saturday afternoon
in Minneapolis. In doing so, Koalska nearly broke a NCAA regional
record for quickest goal at the start of a game, a mark set Friday
by New Hampshire's Colin Hemingway, who scored 10 seconds into
the Wildcats' win against St. Cloud State.
But here's where it gets really interesting: Koalska's effort
one-upped Michigan's Brendan Morrison who, a few weeks before
he won the 1997 Hobey Baker Award, set the record by scoring 33
seconds into a NCAA regional game versus Minnesota. The final
score that day for Michigan, the defending NCAA champs in 1997,
was 7-4.
The Wolverines stormed into Milwaukee that year and most thought
them repeating as NCAA champs was a foregone conclusion. That's
before Boston University derailed the Berenson Express 3-2 in
the Frozen Four semis, in one of the greatest hockey games ever
So for all of the die-hard Gopher fans out there, congrats on
a return trip to the Frozen. But don't print those "2003
NCAA champs" T-shirts just yet.
• How about this stat: In two games at the NCAA West Regional,
the Gophers put 105 shots on goal, and 16 of them went in. Either
Al Montoya or Curtis McElhinney should be ready for a busy afternoon
in Buffalo in 10 days.
• Despite their 9-2 loss in the opener, the members of Mercyhurst's
team (and about a dozen Laker fans) were in the audience on Saturday
afternoon for the regional final.
Not so for North Dakota, which has been known to flee the scene
of the crime shortly after a loss. The Sioux left Minneapolis
not long after their loss to Ferris State and were likely tucked
into their dorm rooms on the banks of the English Coulee before
the puck was dropped between the Gophers and Bulldogs. That's
par for the course for Dean Blais, who celebrated the 1997 NCAA
title by loading his team back on the bus shortly after the championship
game for an 11-hour bus ride to Grand Forks.
• How
concerned is Don Lucia about providing bulletin board material
for the opposition? Concerned enough that he's willing to throw
the notion of "free speech" out the window, at least
in regard to his players.
In the press conference after the Ferris State game, Keith Ballard
and Thomas Vanek were asked if they would prefer to open the Frozen
Four versus Michigan (which beat the Gophers 3-1 on Dec. 1) or
Colorado College (against whom the Gophers were 2-2-1 this year).
Before either player could respond, Lucia leaned into his microphone
and said, "Don't answer that!" His exclamation was greeted
with laughter by the media, but the players were dismissed without
answering any more questions.
• After
being blitzed by Minnesota to the tune of 5-2 (out-shot 25-6)
in the first period, what did coach Bob Daniels tell his Ferris
State team in the locker room? Nothing. At least not right away.
"I waited outside for a while, and had to take a few minutes
to collect myself," said Daniels. "After that, I reminded
the guys that we're not that bad, and they're not that good. We
just ran into a pretty good hockey team in the first period. They
jumped us pretty good."
To the two guys in Section 22, Row 4 who decided to have a little
fun with their game day togs. Anyone can put on a Gopher sweater
when heading to Mariucci, but to get together with your buddy
and make a statement is the extra effort we like come playoff
time. The gentleman in Seat 2 wore the home white of the Charlestown
Chiefs. Seat 1's occupant donned the road orange of the Syracuse
Bulldogs. Waiting for these neighbors to drop 'em and go was more
exciting that anything on the ice.
To Doug Woog, for proving once again that he knows a little bit
about pucks. Before the game a friend was saying how impressive
Ferris State looked versus North Dakota and what a good game the
Bulldogs would give Minnesota. Woog said he wasn't as impressed
with Ferris as others, and predicted that Minnesota would storm
them from the start. Perhaps the 389 college games Woog won weren't
all flukes.
To the selectors of the All-Regional Team. Gino Guyer sets a NCAA
record with five assists, and he's not one of the top six in the
tourney? What's a guy gotta do?
To the Ferris State band. Thanks for making the trip. You added
some nice atmosphere and some new tunes to the rink. But launching
into your school song 10 seconds after the Gopher band starts
playing its own school song just creates a musical mess.
Whoever faces
Minnesota in Buffalo should devise a slowdown game plan. And pay
special attention to the game's first two minutes. After being
a slow-starting team for much of the season, the Gophers are exploding
out of the blocks as of late.
The Gophers
have 12 days before their next game. But not all of the players
are looking for a little time to rest and relax before shuffling
off to Buffalo.
"I wish it was tomorrow," said Vanek. "Well, maybe
a day or two off, but we're ready to play now."

Lead Encounter Designer Scott Mercer, a.k.a. Daelo, posted an updated testing schedule for the Crusader's Coliseum on the Patch 3.2 PTR today. The good news is that EU players get to try another set of bosses -- this time the Faction Champions. The bad news is that the US PTR instance servers are still broken following last night's aborted testing attempt. Not good.
The updated schedule is as follows, with Daelo's full post after the jump:
Here's the current schedule for Trial of the Crusader PTR testing:
On the European test realms:
Faction Champions - Saturday Night, July 11, starting at 19:00 CEST.
The issues that were preventing raid testing on the North American PTRs are still not fully resolved. We're looking into alternative means of enabling testing on these realms. I'll update this thread when I have more information.
Note that only the 10 Player and 25 Player difficulties will be available on PTR. The Heroic versions will not be available. If you are usually part of raids that easily crushes Ulduar Hard Modes, you should find the non-Heroic difficulties to be not difficult.
Koralon the Flame Watcher is also available to be tested in the Vault of Archavon depending on PTR Wintergrasp status.
Quick Trial of the Crusader FAQ:
Q) Where's all the trash?
A) There isn't any in this raid zone. Really.
Q) Where's the loot?
A) Loot is present on the bosses, but note that many of the items do not have final art.
Q) What about achievements?
A) Most of them are implemented, but there are a few still remaining.
Q) What about the Trial of the Champion (ie the 5 player dungeon)?

By Penny Young Nance
Hollywood critics are still scratching their heads in response to the incredible success of the new film "October Baby." For a movie that New York Times film critic Jeannette Catsoulis said was "ugliness at its core," it did beautifully well at the box office.
"October Baby" grossed $1.7 million its opening weekend. And despite appearing in fewer than 400 theaters, it finished as the No. 8 movie, the No. 1 limited release film, and had the third-highest per-screen average.
How did this film do so well at the box office, with so little fanfare, you ask? Let me give you four reasons:
1. It is beautifully done. Quality and content come together with professional actors, a meaningful storyline, and realistic character development. And the soundtrack? Just be prepared to have your phone ready; Shazam will be your best friend for the next hour and a half.
2. You can take anyone and everyone with you. Think about the last time you sat together with friends or family and didn't feel the need to apologize, fast forward, or nervously laugh off an awkward scene.
As a mom, I struggle to find wholesome entertainment suitable for my whole family. Enough dramatic intrigue for my teenage daughter, enough humor for my eleven-year-old son, and enough, well, plot for my husband.
I'm sure other families have the same problem; we're starved for entertainment that we can enjoy together. Heaven knows I didn't want to see "The Lorax" (again!). But the chance to sit together without dreading the gratuitous sex scene or curse word is rare.
"October Baby" refreshingly brought my family together and kept us together the whole time. The only exception might be a child not old enough to handle the heavy subject matter that includes abortion and adoption.
3. It's the perfect date movie. Gentleman, don't harbor any illusions, "Project X" is not the perfect date movie. Heed my advice and take her to see "October Baby."
As one of my Concerned Men for America courageously suggested, "Go see 'October Baby.' If you're married, take your wife. If you're dating, take your girlfriend. Laugh when it's time to laugh, and when it's time to cry, don't fight it. And if you have to, just remember that it's allergy season. You can blame your red, puffy eyes on that."
3. It provides thoughtful common-ground discussion on a hot-topic issue. "October Baby" accurately and compassionately portrays both sides of why the country is divided on social issues. "October Baby" portrays both sides as — gasp! — human.
And it gives the viewer the chance to think on their own two feet.
Imagine that! A film that provokes us to think for ourselves. This is something that the political debates tend to not do. Instead of polarizing the viewers, a pro-abortion viewer will see someone who is pro-life thinking through their logic, and a pro-lifer gets the chance to see the same on the other side.
I truly believe compassionate seeds will be planted here to see life as what it is: precious. The producers of "October Baby" have even assigned 10 percent of the profits of the movie to the Every Life is Beautiful Fund, which will distribute funds to frontline organizations helping women facing crisis pregnancies, life-affirming adoption agencies, and those caring for orphans.
Now, I ask you, what other movie in theaters right now is actually going to help people?
4. It is a "game changer." You vote with your pocketbook, folks. Let's not complain as moms and women that "there's nothing good on TV." If this movie does really well at the box office, you can be sure Hollywood will notice.
Hollywood needs to be reminded that there is a large market for wholesome films that help people. Conservative families will purchase, if Hollywood produces.
American families are craving alternatives to Hollywood's films. October Baby is an unconventional portrayal of reality, forgiveness, love, and life. In fact, I think it should be called "Hallelujah, Baby."
Finally, we have a movie we can all get behind.

A couple of weeks ago I made it over to the Quicken Loans offices in Detroit for the third (ever) meeting of the DetroitRuby group. Hosted by Mike Bobiney (Quicken Loans) and Chris Hallenday (Tukaiz), the featured speaker for the evening was Carl Wright – the President and Founder of Service Level Corporation. His talk – Meet Mr. Enumerable was an interesting look at the features and uses of the enumerable module. I enjoyed Carl's talk, learned a couple things about some new features in 1.9.2, and enjoyed chatting with Mike, Chris, and Carl afterwards.
Being a Detroit native it was very pleasing to see that the reports of Detroit's death have been greatly exaggerated. In addition to the energetic (and from what I could see, full) offices of both Quicken and Compuware (The two companies share a ten story building) I also met and chatted a bit with Nathan Hues, one of the founders of a new venture dedicated to leading a technical rebirth in the city.
If the people I met who organized and attended the DetroitRuby meeting are any indication, it seems clear that Detroit is on an upward slope towards becoming a hotbed of technical innovation and development in the near future. You can catch a glimpse of this yourself by visiting DetroitRuby's next meeting registration page and signing for their next meeting on July 14th.

Yeah like I said the forwards deserve their fair share of the blame too by not burying basically any of their chances.
It's just frustrating when the chances are there and brodeur seemingly gives up a goal like that. It seems like they have to be perfect to win these games and the devils make it easy on Marty by allowing very few shots on net only to get beaten.
We have outshot our competition in the last two games by about a 3-1 margin and still lost. It's frustrating and baffling.
How many of those are considered quality shots? Quality chances? Certainly Elias's was tonight and Henrique in the 3rd but if you're throwing warm up shots on goaltenders from outside the blue line, lifting floaters in in goal to get stoppages or shooting from bad angles without screens or men in front for 20, maybe more, of your 30 shots average a game you can't expect to score much.

Real Housewife | REAL Cooking: Nothing beats a steak dinner
I was born and raised a Montana boy, so it shouldn't come as a shock to anyone to find out that I am a big lover of beef. Living here in the Pacific Northwest I'm often given funny looks when I tell people that I don't particularly care for the taste of seafood. But growing up in a land-locked state, I grew up eating beef for many of the meals.
When I moved away to go to college I soon realized how lucky I was growing up. My grandparents cattle ranchers, and because of that we always had beef in the deep freezer. When you get out into the world and have to go and buy steak or hamburger you realize how much it costs! Because of that, steak became a bit of a rare treat for me, and even to this day I treat it as that.
Nowadays, it's a rare treat because my husband is a doctor…and he fills me full of the information on how "red meat isn't good for you" and all that other stuff. But I also know that anything in moderation is okay. Michael also wasn't a big fan of steak before he met me. He grew up in a household where red meat wasn't the protein of choice. So he never learned to appreciate the taste of a good steak. But nothing makes me smile more than when he sits down and smiles at the steak on his plate! A man after my own heart!
During the summer I love to fire up the grill, throw on a few steaks and some potatoes. But during the winter, even as mild as ours are here in Edmonds, I don't feel like standing out in the rain to grill. So I turned back to how I started making steaks when I lived in apartments…in the oven. Now don't fall over when you read that! I know there are quite a few people that think the only way a steak can be done right is on the grill. But I hope to open your eyes to this way of making a wonderful steak.
Before I get into the recipe we need to talk about a couple of things. First things first…you can have a well done steak that isn't a hockey puck. I promise! But you have to follow some basic rules to accomplish this.
1) Put the steak on the grill, or in the pan. And flip it ONCE! By doing this you create a nice sear on each side. So put it on the heat…walk away…come back and flip it…walk away.
2) Do NOT press down on the steak. When you do this you are pushing all of the juices out, and drying it out.
3) Let the steak rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing into it. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. If you cut a steak right after it comes off the heat, the juices will run out all over the plate.
Those are some pretty simple rules, right? Follow those, and you will not be disappointed. Granted, just as with anything else, you need to make sure you are cooking the steak for the correct amount of time. But I will get into that in the recipe. When it comes to good grilling steaks, I tend to lean more towards the New York Strip cut. This has a decent amount of fat, and is easier to manage. I also don't like to get a steak that is over 1 inch thick. Thicker steaks are a bit more of a challenge to cook perfectly, so I leave that to the fancy restaurants! Are you ready for a steak dinner? Let's get to it!
The REAL Housewife of Snohomish County's Steak and Potato Dinner
– Steak – I prefer New York Strip. I shoot for about 1 inch thick.
– Kosher Salt
– Fresh Ground Black Pepper
– Yukon Gold Potatoes (figure about 2 potatoes per person, depending on their size)
– Olive Oil
– Shallot or Red Onion
– Red Wine (or Beef Stock)
– Butter
– Broccoli, or any vegetable you'd like as a side dish
~ The Recipe~
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Allow your steak to come to room temperature by taking it out of the fridge 1/2 hour to 45 minutes before cooking. You never want to throw cold meat onto a heat source; the meat will seize up and become tough.
According to The Food Network, the following are the internal temperatures for the different degrees of doneness. **It's important to note that the USDA suggest higher internal temperatures, so you can also look up their recommended internal temps.**
Rare – 125 degrees
Medium Rare – 130 – 135 degrees
Medium – 135 – 140 degrees
Medium Well – 140 – 150 degrees
Well Done – 155+ degrees
I hope that you try this recipe out! If you do, send me an e-mail email@example.com letting me know!

Until next time…Keep Cooking!

Yummy!!! I love steak!!! I love that you shared your peppercorn mishap, I can just imagine you trying to sweep all those rolly peppercorns around!! Lol. Thanks for the recipe and the potatoes look amazing!
Yes…it was a bit of a mess! But I couldn't help but laugh! Let me know if you try out the recipe!
I frequently finish my steaks in the oven too. I usually just stick the whole frying pan (cast iron is oven safe)after the first side is seared but will try your method next! I tend to over cook steaks on the grill and like the control I have using the oven. Thanks for the tips!
Teri, I sometimes use my oven safe pans as well! Yea, the grill can be a bit tricky depending on how hot it is! I've burned my fair share of steaks!
I'm hungry! I wish you would cook for me…and shop for and put away groceries. Nice job, Brian!
Come on out to Seattle Michelle!

The Nebbiolo Wines of Piedmont
by Natasha Hughes, 08/11
With the exception of the urbanised sprawl of Turin, Piedmont is a resolutely rural region. This breathtakingly beautiful part of north-western Italy, nestled between the Italian Alps and the Ligurian coast, is as famous for its hazelnuts and truffles as it is for its wines, the most iconic of which come from the DOCG zones of Barolo and Barbaresco.
If you had to draw up a list of wines that every wine buff must try at least once in their lives, wines from one or the other of these appellations (or both), would almost certainly be included among most people's top ten. Based on the Nebbiolo grape, whose name is thought by some to be derived from the word nebbia, the mist that cloaks the hillsides in autumn when the grapes are harvested, these wines are richly perfumed and built for the long haul. The firm tannins that seem to incarcerate the fruit during the wine's youth dictate lengthy cellaring before revealing a layered palate full of tar, roses and earthy truffles.
Needless to say, Barolos and Barbarescos don't come cheap: it's rare to find a bottle under £25, and those from named vineyards and highly rated producers often top the £100 mark.
The price fetched by these wines is exacerbated by the fact that Nebbiolo is a fickle grape, and attempts to grow it outside of its home region have, largely, been unsuccessful. Luckily for those who've succumbed to Nebbiolo's heady charms, the grape has found a champion in David Berry Green, 8th-generation scion of the Berry Bros & Rudd dynasty (left).
Berry Green, who relocated to Piedmont a couple of years ago to facilitate his job as buyer of the company's Italian wines, has been working hard to generate interest in Piedmont's other Nebbiolos, those from Alba and the wider region of the Langhe. These wines, which are often made from grapes grown outside of the demarcated DOCG zones or from young vines, are not only a relative bargain (most of them are priced from £15 upwards), they're also fresher, lighter and made in such a way that they're at their peak within two or three years of harvest.
Berry Green recently organised a generous tasting of 52 of these wines (not all of them, by any means, are available from BBR) at the splendid Castello in the hilltop village of Serralunga d'Alba. While some of the wines were marred by heavy-handed oaking and/or extraction, the great majority of them displayed plenty of charm and character.
the wines
Bruno Giacosa, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Neive 2009
Plenty of nods to tradition in in this crisp, focused wine. There's no discernible oak, and the firm, ripe tannins are wrapped around a palate perfumed with dried roses and liquorice. Very long. 93 points.
Renato Ratti, Nebbiolo d'Alba, La Morra, 2009
An attractive nose with smoky cherry fruit. Approachable, supple tannins and a bit of new oak. Nicely balanced. 88 points.
Produttori del Barbaresco, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbaresco, 2009
Slightly volatile nose, but the palate is bright and fresh. Notes of dried roses and cherries with a tarry finish. Ripe, supple. 89 points.
Marcarini, Langhe Nebbiolo, La Morra, 2009
Heady nose of plums and earthy, smoky notes. Pure fruit core, fresh and direct. Taut tannins will take a bit of time to relax, but has potential. 92 points.
Elio Altare, Langhe Nebbiolo, La Morra, 2009
Intense nose of dried fruit and flowers. A powerful, concentrated palate full of ripe fruit, supported by a hint of oak spice and fleshy tannins. Long, sweet, cherry-tinged finish. 90 points.
Cantina Bartolo Mascarello, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barolo, 2009
Pretty red fruit on a palate that shows concentration. Ripe, almost gentle tannins. Pretty wine. 88 points.
Ferdinando Principiano, Langhe Nebbiolo, Monforte d'Alba, 2009
Very perfumed, floral wine, with some delicate strawberry fruit on the palate. Brisk acidity and supple tannins give it the necessary support. 89 points.
Edoardo Sobrino, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Diano d'Alba, 2008
Tomato leaf, red cherries and dried roses. Linear, pure, taut and precise. Quite light, but graceful. 89 points.
Cascina Luisin, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbaresco, 2008
Silky, elegant texture. Complex, with layers of concentrated earthy truffles, dried fruit and a hint of fresh rose petals. Still firm and powerful. Long, perfumed. 94 points.
Piero Busso, Langhe Nebbiolo, Neive, 2009
An austere wine with some minerality to go with the cherry and tar notes. Both power and grace on the long finish. 92 points.
Gigi Bianco, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbaresco, 2008
The wine initially appears delicate, but it builds in intensity in the mouth, revealing strawberry and rose notes draped around fine-boned tannins. 92 points.
Cascina Fontana, Langhe Nebbiolo, Perno, 2008
A very pretty, floral wine with notes of violets, roses and cherries. Lively and lifted, with supple tannins and a perfumed finish. 93 points.
Guiseppe Mascarello, Langhe Nebbiolo, Monchiero, 2008
A marmite wine that some will hate, while others love the concentrated, smoky palate. A wine of power and intensity. 88 points.
Giacomo Contenrno, Langhe Nebbiolo, Serralunga d'Alba, 2008
Firm tannins make the wine appear austere on first tasting, but reveals plenty of heady, perfumed fruit and a streak of minerality on opening up. 89 points.
Massolino, Langhe Nebbiolo, Serralunga d'Alba, 2008
Truffles on those nose. Powerful, concentrated palate with good primary fruit. layered, elegant. Supple tannins. Very long. 91 points.
Brovia, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Castiglionne Falletto, 2007
A silky, elegant, seductive wine that's really hit its straps now. Earthy, gamey notes. Intense, complex. 90 points.
Luciano Sandrone, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Barolo, 2007
A very traditional style of Nebbiolo with chewy tannins initially obscuring the concentrated cherry, smoky fruit. Power, rich and long. 94 points.
Eugenio Bocchino, Nebbiolo d'Alba, La Morra, 2007
Quite developed, with notes of truffles and game, dried fruit and liquorice. Complex and fine boned, with very fresh acidity. Linear and long. 90 points.
Vietti, Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco, Castiglione Falletto, 2007
Served in double magnum, this was a earthy, tight wine with dark plums and more than a hint of cocoa-tinged new oak. Powerful, youthful and intense. Quite showy. 89 points.

Have you looked at your checkbook lately, Obama? It's tapped out. Are you buying friendship? It doesn't work.
Let us go back to being the greatest nation on earth. Then, if we are not liked, we are at least respected.
You spend money like there is no limit. It's not yours to spend - it is ours. And we're not happy about it.
I have a suggestion: leave our military, control towers, etc. alone and make Congress the object of sequestration. They can afford it and many others who are being targeted can not.
While I have pen in hand: It's time, Mr. Obama, to stop blaming the previous administration for all your problems. As President Truman once said: "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen." You should have stayed out. Many of us would be a lot happier.

Phases Design Studio Takes a Mulligan
By the time this post hits the Blog, many of you will have already virtually met the latest addition to the Phases family. Last week, we welcomed Graphic Designer, Front End Developer, and Tunesmith in Residence Ryan Mulligan aboard the Good Ship Phases Design Studio.
Although he's only been with us for about a week, Ryan is fitting right in, taking some day-to-day design work off Kandra's hands, and making a strong impression on his initial clients by giving them – in their words – "exactly what we want," always a great way to introduce yourself.
Before joining Phases, Ryan was Interactive Content Publisher for Entravision Communications Corporation, one of Denver's premier providers of Latino radio and television programming. He graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications with a concentration in graphic design from Ramapo College of New Jersey.
In addition to his design duties, you can catch Ryan pounding the skins around town with his quirky pop band the Shaky Molars. He also spends a good amount of his free time writing his own music under the pseudonym, A Series of Accidents. He is an avid hockey fan, religiously following his New Jersey Devils, so feel free to chat him up about what's happening on the ice.
We're super excited to have Ryan on board. Feel free to give him a big shout out in comments, or say hello at Facebook or Google+.
And remember, you can meet Ryan in person at our Spring Fever Happy Hour next Thursday, April 12th from 4 to 6, where he'll be the most popular guy in the room. The one handing out drink coupons.

Halloween in the Harbor Letterbox
This time of year all spooky spirits meet
at Smuggler's Dead where you have a seat
and ride through the night,
to your scary delight,
in woods where ghosts come to fright.
This time of year Oktoberfest is here
with many many glasses of beer...
where taxis are sent,
after the brew is all spent,
and elbows are permanently bent.
Clue to letterbox:
Halloween in the Harbor is rather nearby,
only a minute or two as the crows fly.
After the beer and frights have shown you their thrills,
park your car at The Top of The Hill.
A sign of welcome is what you seek,
crossing Rt.102 is not for the meek!
A big rock shelters your goal,
just be careful you don't loose your soul...
For its Halloween in the Harbor as you now know,
and here's the place all the scary things go!

Fully commutative elements and Kazhdan-Lusztig cells in the finite and affine Coxeter groups
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: The main goal of the paper is to show that the fully commutative elements in the affine Coxeter group form a union of two-sided cells. Then we completely answer the question of when the fully commutative elements of form or do not form a union of two-sided cells in the case where is either a finite or an affine Coxeter group.

Judge Shelley C. Chapman of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan on Wednesday, Oct. 3, approved Broadview's disclosure statement and confirmed its prepackaged reorganization plan. Also on Wednesday, Chapman authorized Broadview to enter into a $25 million exit loan agreement. The loan from lenders led by CIT Group/Business Credit Inc. could be increased by $10 million.
Debtor counsel Rachel C. Strickland of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP said the plan will take effect in mid- to late October. She said the Rye Brook, N.Y., company awaits approval from the Federal Communications Commission due to the change in control of the company in its debt-for-equity swap.
Broadview's plan reduces the company's senior secured notes from $300 million to $150 million and cuts annual interest expenses by $18 million, according to a Wednesday company statement.
"Our financial restructuring resolves our debt maturity issues and provides a more appropriate capital structure for the company," Broadview president and CEO Michael K. Robinson said in the statement. "I would like to thank all of Broadview's customers, employees, trading partners, debt and equity stakeholders and our current board of directors for their continued support during our restructuring process. The entire team at Broadview is excited about our greater financial flexibility, allowing us to invest in growth opportunities and further expand our market position in cloud-based services."
Broadview and 27 affiliates filed for Chapter 11 on Aug. 22 after reaching the terms of a restructuring and then soliciting votes on a prepackaged plan. Holders of two-thirds of its 11.375% senior secured notes due Sept. 1 and 70% of its preferred equity holders initially agreed to back the restructuring, which Broadview said was necessary to enable repayment of the notes.
After reaching the agreement on July 13, Broadview solicited votes from other creditors on its prepackaged plan. Some 80% of noteholders in dollar amount and 95% in number accepted the plan, according to a declaration by Robinson. In addition, 99.99% of preferred equity holders also cleared it. Only one significant holder of senior secured notes submitted a ballot rejecting the plan.
Under the deal, senior secured noteholders will receive a pro rata share of 97.5% of Broadview's common stock and $150 million of new 10.5% senior secured notes due 2017.
Broadview extended $210 million in senior secured notes on Aug. 23, 2006, and $90 million in additional notes on May 14, 2007. The notes were due Sept. 1 and accrue interest at 11.375%. Bank of New York Mellon Corp. is the trustee and collateral agent for the notes.
Preferred equity holders will receive the remaining 2.5% of common shares plus two series of eight-year warrants to purchase up to 11% and 4% of shares, respectively. Broadview estimated the value of their recovery at $14.6 million.
Existing equity interests will be canceled. Court papers show MCG Capital Corp. owned 50.9% of common shares on the petition date, as well as 100% of Series A and Series A-1 preferred shares. Baker Communications Fund LP owned 16.2% of common shares plus 41.8% of Series B preferred shares and 35.4% of Series B-1 preferred shares.
Broadview will fund working capital and its emergence from bankruptcy with the all-new-money exit loan. The financing, proposed Sept. 19, accrues interest at a base rate plus 175 basis points or Libor plus 275 basis points and will carry a 0.5% commitment fee, a $25,000 agent fee, a 0.5% unused line fee and a 3% letter of credit fee. The loan will mature five years from closing.
CIT was also the administrative agent for Broadview's $25 million debtor-in-possession loan. The exit loan, however, does not roll up the DIP, which is repaid under the plan.
The DIP rolled up the $13.9 million outstanding on a $25 million prepetition revolver from CIT, with the remainder of the DIP constituting new money.
Broadview provides cloud-based services, voice and data communications services and other IT products. The company focuses on markets in 10 states in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic region. Broadview has about 34,000 customers in a variety of industries.
It leases 15 facilities in Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington. Broadview also collocates equipment with its competitors at 260 locations.
Evercore Group LLC is Broadview's financial adviser.

Mardi Gras is almost here! If you're in New Orleans you've probably been celebrating for a few weeks now, well maybe a week or so. I've been to New Orleans twice. Once for Mardi Gras and once the week before Mardi Gras and both times I experienced one hell of a celebration. :)
I'm itching to go back! But until I can make it back down to good old NOLA, I'll just continue to listen to my Jazz music and dream of walking the streets of the french quarter. It's one of those cities that I cold totally see myself living it. (Well only if I could live in one of those apartments/houses in the French Quarter or an old Southern Mansion somewhere down there). The history of the city fascinates me and the culture is just amazing. Hey New Orleans is where I got my famous Celtic Knot that I've worn pretty much everyday for the past 10 years :)
*Facepalm* What didn't I think of that! So Thank you Rachael, I now have a pretty Mardi Gras wreath hanging on my front door to remind me of the wonderful city that makes me feel alive!
I went to hobby lobby in search of some Mardi Gras stuff, I thought for sure that they would have some type of section dedicated to Mardi Gras, even if it was a small one. But sadly there wasn't one. So I had to just kind of pick through the store and look for Purple, Green and Gold items to turn my wreath into something that represented Mardi Gras!
You knew that Mardi Gras colors are Purple, Green and Gold right? Of course you did! But in case you need a refresher here you go - Purple = Justice, Green = Faith, Gold = Power.
So for the base of the wreath I used Green deco mesh!
I also have a green strand of Mardi Gras beads on there!
I used a smaller roll of purple deco mesh for the purple accents of the wreath.
Now for the gold, I couldn't find any gold deco mesh or gold ribbon that wasn't ugly as dirt haha, so I went with a sheer yellow ribbon for the "gold/yellow" part of the wreath!
I was thinking of using large rolls of green, purple and gold deco mesh but stopped for 2 reasons! One, that would have been a pretty thick wreath and the second reason was because that would have been an expensive wreath! So I used one large roll of green deco mesh, a small roll of purple deco mesh and a roll of yellow ribbon!
So after making the deco mesh wreath I added my "embellishments".
I found these glitter picks in the floral sections of Hobby Lobby. I got one purple one and one gold pick!
For the green pick, I couldn't find a green glitter pick so I went with this green start burst one. It was over near the floral section as well!
As I was searching the store for Purple, Green and Gold accents for the wreath I found a "photo booth" section with these little masks!
They were kind of plan looking so I got some feathers from the craft section and hot clued them to the sides of the masks! Perfect Mardi Gras masks for about $2 each!
Speaking of feathers, I used them in groups of green, purple and yellow to fill in holes in the wreath!
They filled in the gaps perfectly and added more of the "Mardi Gras" flare!
So, do you celebrate Mardi Gras? Have you been to New Orleans?
If you're looking for a step by step tutorial on how to make a deco mesh wreath like this, I have step by step directions with photos here! (It's my Halloween Deco Mesh Wreath, but the steps are the same!)

Housewares Show Has Gizmos For Everyone
Design sells, or so the current thinking goes. Soap dispensers with chic shapes clean up in sales, wastebaskets are an opportunity for a sculptural makeover, and an iPod is as coveted for its looks as its brains.
Some eye-popping eye candy may well emerge from the massive 2007 International Home & Housewares Show, set for March in Chicago with about 2,100 exhibitors and an expected 60,000 buyers and sellers (including 20,000 retail store buyers) from more than 100 countries. But trailblazing design was not so much in evidence at the small preview last month at the Marriott Marquis Hotel. There were, however, attractive and useful products, old standbys and tools tweaked and improved. The gizmos and gadgets ranged from battery-operated martini mixers to a sensor trash can that opens automatically when a foot nears the infrared sensor at its base.
The exhibitors range from entrepreneurial start-ups to established consumer brands such as Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex (showing a blender with a blue light underneath meant to look cool on a bar top, a utilitarian air-cooled garment drying rack and a slow cooker with three different-size bowls).
Europeans were there as well, looking to get into the U.S. market, such as German company Fissler, whose pots and pans have long been popular there. A German chef demonstrated its patented non-warp steel and aluminum "nonstick stainless-steel grill pan, ya?" that fries meat without oil or sticking, and its Intensa saucepan with a temperature indicator in the lid.
Perhaps such chefs are clever design features of houseware shows: Several were on hand to lend some actual sizzle. German-born chef Marcel Bir, chef-owner of O' restaurant serving SpanAsian cuisine in Sheboygan, Wis., and star of a PBS cooking show, prepared steak in peppercorn sauce in his new line of stainless-steel pots for Regal Ware (an aluminum core all the way through, and extra-long stay-cool handles). His eight-piece set and his 12-inch lidded fry pan are available online at www.birocookware.com for $299.99 and $139.50, respectively.
Some of today's design trends — bright colors, stainless steel, retro and contemporary looks — were reflected in the new products. Seattle's Chef'n, a kitchenware company going for a global presence, offered its attractive flexible dual-ended turner/spatula ZipFlip collection (in six versions for different tasks) with heat-resistant silicone handles in apricot, avocado, black, cherry, eggplant, espresso and sapphire, plus a flexible silicone veggie steamer and a rubber-topped Palm Brush, a hand-held vegetable scrubbing brush, to join its successful Palm Peeler.

Libraries Interested in Theology Across New York
June 9,
at: 10:30 a.m.
Wesleyan College/Northeastern Seminary
Rochester, N.Y.
Barry Hamilton
A Word from the
to the LITANY website! LITANY is a newly-formed consortium of libraries
and librarians in upstate New York that is devoted to the promotion of
theological librarianship and collaboration for the sake of enhancing
the services and collections of its member libraries.
Although theological libraries in other regions of the country already
have existing consortia of theological libraries, up until now such a
group has not existed for the 15+ theological libraries in upstate New
York. During the past year, several theological librarians from
libraries here in upstate New York have been discussing this lack of a
regional consortium. In April 2006 we formed LITANY to address this
We believe that this new consortium will benefit its member libraries in
the following ways: interlibrary lending of books and tapes, access to
serials holdings, problem-solving through collaboration, group
discounts, and the trade of gift items. Librarians at these institutions
stand to benefit by having access to continuing education, consultation,
mentoring, and the synergy that arises from collaboration with
colleagues in similar work settings.
I am delighted to serve as the first president of LITANY. Please feel
free to contact me with your ideas and suggestions for how LITANY can
serve its members. I look forward to seeing what things we can
accomplish as we work together to promote our libraries in the region.

If you follow my blog (just humor me ok?) you know I've previously made the case that warmest days in Portland often come AFTER a cold front moves through. Why? The west wind. A west wind kicks in following a cold frontal passage and is strong enough to fight back the naturally occurring spring sea breeze that tends to crush dreams of coastal warmth. If the cold air behind the "cold front" lags enough, we are cooking with gas.
Today is a prime example of why I'm right (but clearly not humble). Front went through last night, winds turned west and the result: 74 F in Portland right now.
Today: As I just drove home, the coastline will be mild today with temperatures in the mid to upper 70s for highs. Meanwhile northern Maine and mountains will experience a totally different Thursday with more clouds and some scattered showers. The showers will be fairly widespread to the north of Millinocket through the afternoon as an upper level disturbance pulls through. Meanwhile look for mostly sunny skies along the coastline and interior until late in the afternoon when that disturbance could produce some high cloud cover to close out the day.
Tonight: Any evening showers quickly die out and skies turn clear. Temperatures will drop into upper 30s over northern Maine but stay in the mid 40s closer to the coastline.
Friday: With high pressure building in from the west, I don't see any reason Friday will be anything but mostly sunny from start to finish for the vast majority of the state. The only exception will be some early morning cloud cover possible across northern Maine in response to the retreating upper level low. As far as high temperatures, the sea breeze will return to the coast with the lack of a west find to fight it...so highs there will be in the low 60s with mid 60s likely inland.
Both Saturday and Sunday look like a pleasant mixture of sun and clouds as high pressure settles overhead. Two caveats though: 1) There will be a sea breeze both days so the coast will stay in the low 60s 2) There will be additional cloud cover over southern and western Maine by Sunday afternoon. Still, this weekend looks pretty money if you ask me. ("You're so money and you don't even know it baby").
Enjoy your day!

(The numbers were down over the Holiday weekend)….The Thanksgiving four-Day weekend is normally one of the busiest for off-roaders.
Chairman of the County Board of Supervisors, Ray Castillo, said Tuesday he was told there were 113,000 visitors at the Imperial Sand Dune Recreation area. He said that was less than in past years, but it was still a good number of people. The Bureau of Land Management says, for the most part, the weekend went well. There were, however, two fatal injury collisions. Medical calls were down to 63 over the four days. Officials say there were a variety of arrests, including visitors operating off-road vehicles while under the influence. The BLM and the County is now gearing up for the New Year's weekend. They say that holiday draws even more visitors, and New Year's is considered a drinking holiday.

In general, it doesn't take a lot of brains to make it in Hollywood, especially if you're gorgeous and lucky. There are a bunch of celebrities who we know are smart (see: Natalie Portman) and there are many, many more who aren't. Here are some actors and actresses who are much smarter than you gave them credit for.

University Helps Army Find a New Strategy for Education
November 6, 2008
By Newswise
The University of Alabama in Huntsville has been enlisted to help the U.S. Army Materiel Command modernize its logistics operations.
Researchers in UAHuntsville's Center for the Management of Science and Technology (CMOST) will develop the educational strategy for a flanking maneuver around old habits, ancient procedures and a plethora of free-standing legacy systems developed independently by a variety of depots, offices and commands.
The objective in this maneuver is a single modern, unified enterprise planning and management system for all of the Army's acquisition, supply chain and logistics operations all the way from raw materials to units in the field.
For the next nine months, university researchers will gather data on which of AMC's present and future employees need additional training or education, what lessons they need so they can function efficiently within the Army's new logistics enterprise system, and where those training and education services might be provided at a reasonable cost.
The project is supported by CMOST's first contract with AMC, which is moving to Redstone Arsenal from Virginia.
"I think this has huge potential benefit for AMC," said Dr. J.P. Ballenger, the CMOST director. "SAP-based enterprise logistics is a whole new way of thinking, 180 degrees out of what (the Army has) done before.
"We will be studying AMC's lessons learned in implementing the Army Logistics Modernization Program," Ballenger said. "We're trying to define the problem and determine which people are being trained, what they're being taught and what they need to be taught. We will try to find the best and most cost effective path the Army can take while standardizing this process across AMC and its commands."
An important piece of the education strategy will be identifying existing classes, curriculum or training programs that might be "leveraged" by the Army. One of the dozen CMOST and UAHuntsville Continuing Education faculty and staff involved in the project is scouring the U.S. looking for educational resources. These might include on-site or distance learning classes at several colleges and universities, including UAHuntsville, the Army's Defense Acquisition University or the Army Logistics Management College.
AMC has also asked UAHuntsville to determine the resources and requirements needed to establish an AMC Business Process Management Center of Excellence, which would serve as a training, counseling and problem-solving resource for the Army.

Rabbi Shimon Schwab was one of the giants of the Rabbinate. His combination of wisdom, eloquence and depth were unexcelled - as was his uncanny ability to frame his profundity in terms that everyone can understand.
This magnificent work, adapted from the Rav's shiurim by his eldest son, Moshe Schwab, contains Rav Schwab's commentary on the Book of Iyov/Job, surely one of the most difficult Books in all of Scripture.
It is a masterpiece. It will open wide the gates of understanding to some of life's most perplexing issues, issues that confront thinking people in every era.
