The "100 Best Companies" list – which AOL has been a part of for five years in a row – highlights the top companies in the U.S. offering family-friendly benefits.
But, don't just take our word for why AOL is a great place to work – here's what Working Mother had to say:
"Pregnancy regimens, school volunteering issues, college tuition worries...the Parents Group meetings at this Web services company sure cover a lot of ground-and with 300+ babies born to employees every year, they're a big hit. Videoconferences and webinars led by parenting coach Hazel Osborn further plumb complex subjects, from bullying and gifted children to picking the right summer camp and proper scheduling of afterschool activities. Moms are grateful for the company's ubiquitous lactation rooms, backup dependent care and expansive parenting programs and leaves (used by 15% of the population annually). In 2012, more than 26% of employees worked from home full-time."
As part of the application process, we requested nominations for a Working Mother of the Year. The response was fantastic, and we ultimately selected Kacinda Belk. Kacinda – who's described as "extremely detail-oriented, relentless and sharp" – is an outstanding mom and mentor alike, and her contribution and dedication to AOL is recognition-worthy. We're so proud to have her represent us as Working Mother of the Year 2013!

Two Chinese scientists, including a rice geneticist at the Dale Bumpers National Rice Research Center in Stuttgart, were arrested Wednesday on charges of conspiring to steal trade secrets.
Wengui Yan, 63, of Stuttgart, has been charged with one count of conspiracy to steal trade secrets, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who also arrested Weiqiang Zhang, 47, of Manhattan, Kan. Authorities allege the two men arranged for a Chinese delegation to visit the Untied States, including the Dale Bumpers National Rice Research Center, and on Aug. 7 agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection found stolen seed in the luggage of the group.
The two agricultural scientists from China, who are living lawfully in the U.S., have been charged with trying to steal samples of a variety of seeds from a biopharmaceutical company's research facility in Kansas, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.
The victim in the case — identified in court records as Company A — has invested approximately $75 million in patented technology used to create a variety of seeds containing recombinant proteins. The company has an extensive intellectual property portfolio of more than 100 issued and pending patents and exclusive licenses to issued patents.
Zhang and Yan are charged in a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Kansas City.
While in the United States, the delegation group visited various agricultural facilities and universities in the midwest.
According to the complaint, Zhang and Yan, both natives of the People's Republic of China, arranged for the Chinese delegation to visit the United States in 2013. Previously, the two had traveled to China at the same time in 2012 to visit a Crops Research Institute. Some of the people they met in China were members of the Chinese delegation that visited the United States in 2013.
Zhang worked as an agricultural seed breeder for Company A since 2008. Stolen seeds were delivered to members of the Chinese delegation during the delegation's visit to the United States July 16 through Aug. 7.
Yan, who worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a rice geneticist at the Dale Bumpers National Rice Research Center, picked up the Chinese delegation from a motel in Stuttgart on July 22 and took them to the center.
Seeds similar to what were found in the delegation's possession as they left the United States in August 2013 were also found in Zhang's residence Wednesday.
If convicted, Zhang and Yan face a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000.
The Little Rock Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Kansas City Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Customs and Border Protection investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Rask is prosecuting with assistance from the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Arkansas. According to the FBI, in all cases, defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The indictments merely contain allegations of criminal conduct.

Women's Basketball Dismantles Hofstra 84-54, Wins Third Straight
On a career night for Kristen Helmstetter and Lauren Polansky, the Princeton women's basketball team won its third consecutive game in commanding fashion, 84-54, over Hofstra Wednesday evening at Jadwin Gym. The victory improves the Tigers to 6-2, while dropping the Pride to 1-6.
Junior Helmstetter, who was making her third straight start, recorded career-highs in both points with 21, including a personal-best four treys, and assists with seven. The forward also had six defensive boards, nearly tying a career mark in rebounds.
On the opposite end of the floor, point guard Polansky continued to shine as the defensive menace she has been throughout her career. The co-captain grabbed a team-high and career-high 11 rebounds, including nine defensive boards, in only 21 minutes of work. Polansky was a crux on defense, preventing the Pride from creating second chance opportunities, while igniting offensive runs for Princeton. She also had three steals, two assists and a block.
Hofstra attempted to keep the game in range during the first half, coming as close as a possession, 15-13 at 9:56. With their lead diminishing, the Tigers responded with a 19-0 run to take a 34-13 advantage at 2:58. That critical run was enough to put Hofstra out of range for good.
Princeton managed to expand its lead to 45-19 by halftime.
Following the break, the Tigers scurried to a 30-point lead, 57-27, at 15:53. With less than 10 to play, they would see their lead as high as 35 during three different points.
Senior Niveen Rasheed led the offense with a season-high 23 points, while grabbing nine rebounds. She has scored in double figures in seven games this season. Off the bench freshman Alex Wheatley had seven points and six rebounds, and classmate Michelle Miller made five boards and an assist.
Princeton shot 48.4 percent (31-for-64) from the field, while limiting Hofstra to 29.6 percent (21-for-71). The Tigers also held differentials in rebounding (49-38) and assists (22-10), and forced the Pride to commit 18 turnovers, which they converted into 13 points.
For the third time this season, every active player saw minutes in the game.
The Tigers open a four-game road swing next, beginning with Delaware on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 2 p.m.

|Honors roll in for Madison
DENVER -- After leading the Idaho men's basketball team to a 67-64 victory over Western Illinois, Idaho senior forward Stephen Madison (Portland, Ore./Jefferson HS) was recognized with Western Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors from the WAC and College Sports Madness.
Madison scored 21 points and grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds in Idaho's win for his third career double-double. He also finished with five assists and just one turnover, and shot 7-for-11 from the field, 4-of-6 from 3-point range and 3-of-4 from the free throw line. After the first week of games of the 2013-14 season, Madison leads the WAC in rebounding and is tied for the top spot in assists, 3-point field goal percentage and 3-pointers made. His scoring average and assist to turnover ratio rank second.
"Steve played great the other night with 21 points and 14 rebounds in 35 minutes," Idaho coach Don Verlin said. "He shot the ball extremely well and played with a lot of energy on both ends of the court. I couldn't be happier for the way he started his senior year. That's a great start for him."
The Vandals continue play this week when they visit Oklahoma on Nov. 13 and host Northwest Nazarene on Nov. 16.

|Was able to 4 wheel to 1.5 miles to the summit before snow blocked the road. Walked the rest of the way. Still quite a bit of snow on the top. Waited about 9 years to climb this, and finally did it. Climbed one of the radio towers on top for a 360 degree view of the area, and walked over to the North Rim for a view of Powell and the Canyonlands. Beautiful, amazing, and spectacular views.

Date Climbed: Jul 6, 2009
|Finally got around to hiking this marvelous, remote peak. Followed Dean's report and car-camped at a pull-out near 7,100 feet. Weather was warm, so I deliberately planned this for a full-moon. I started hiking at 2:15 a.m. under moonlight, which was ample enough so that I didn't need a flashlight. Went kind of slow, made summit at 6:45 a.m., then on the way down turned my ankle pretty bad and had to hobble the last mile down to my truck. Oh well. But the hike and the whole region was amazing.

|We (SP'er Dennis Poulin and I) walked back into winter as we ascended the road. Yes, a road, but you couldn't have driven it so I considered it just a very wide trail. We hit snow at the 9300 foot mark and got to hike in it for about a mile. Quite a contrast from a couple of the desert Arizona peaks we did just a couple days earlier. The summit area was a big disappointment to me as there were towers and no views. Sigh...

The Symposium for Emerging Applications of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) in Industry and Academia (EAIA) has evolved into a hub for new ideas and successful applications thereof. The focus is on innovative applications of M&S in theory and practice. As such, we are looking for papers that show successful and promising trends. For 2013, we offer seven topic categories plus the "Other Emerging Application" category to be able to give a home to good papers that do not fit into the other categories.
Many educational institutions have begun to offer either courses or entire degree programs in modeling and simulation (M&S). This track is soliciting papers that explore the emerging field of M&S education and the issues surrounding its development and use. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
The viewpoint of the symposium shows the neighborhood of M&S applications to the engineering discipline that is also more interested in finding applicable solutions (in contrast to science where the focused is more on extending the knowledge). Theoretical underpinnings are welcome, but the track will provide a forum for papers that address the engineering style applications of modeling and simulation. Simulation replaces more and more the traditional experimentation. Where until recently prototypes were created to conduct experiments, virtual prototypes are increasingly used in support of the engineering process. In order to support this use of M&S in engineering, the simulation must fulfill certain requirements, such as being verified and validated for the particular use, or that all data can be obtained in the required form and with the right content. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following examples:
The Business and Industry Simulation track is one of the best established tracks within EAIA. Operational and financial stresses in conjunction with the demands of customers, both external and internal, have intensified pressure for competent industrial operations. The evolution of complex systems operating within intricate environments has placed pressure on the configuration and performance of agile, efficient, and flexible industrial operations. Firms are recognizing that the continual enhancement of existing operations is essential to gaining and holding a competitive edge. Government organizations today can effectively evaluate solutions for complex challenges in transportation, health care, security, or environmental effects before making decisions. This call for papers aims to highlight academic foundations as well as real-world industrial applications focusing on lessons learned, experienced constraints, and proof of concepts and generalizability of implemented solutions using M&S in such environments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following examples:
There has been compelling signs of the great potential of building further synergy with academics, researchers, and industry practitioners from the areas of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) in coping with Emergent Risks. M&S's potential goes far beyond its power to tell us how systems may, would, and should work.And for this same reason, M&S also has a great and still untapped power to tell us how complex systems may fail.
Nonetheless, there needs to be the conscious and deliberate attempt to harness this power by bringing together current knowledge and game-changing ideas from the best academics, researchers, and industry practitioners in M&S and Emergent Risk Management. Objectives of the track comprise benchmarking current practices on how M&S are being used in managing emergent risks, identifying important and high-yield research activities towards better application of M&S in managing emergent risk, and developing synergistic collaboration among participants.
Topics of interest to this track are:
Many M&S researchers are not explicitly aware of their philosophical research assumption and the ontological, epistemological, and teleological implications thereof. Ontology is the study of being or the study of what exists, often captured as a system defined by a finite set of systems. Computational representations thereof are only a small subset. Epistemology is the study of how we come to know, or how we define knowledge, represent it, and communicate it with others. Teleology is the study of action and purpose, resulting in methods.
Often without knowing it, M&S experts sub-scribe with their methods to a positivistic worldview. In short, positivism is rooted in the belief that truth exists on its own, it is indepen-dent of the observer and reality is separated from the individual who observes it. The traditional scientific method is rooted in positivism. The al-ternative viewpoint is interpretivism that holds the belief that truth is a construct of the observer. Reality is relative and cannot be separated from the individual who observes it.
Following topics are of interest to this track:
The Department of Justice established a Technical Working Group on Modeling and Simulation to coordinate the application of M&S solutions and research of M&S capabilities of interest. Currently, M&S within the Department of Justice is focused on – but not limited to – training, in particular for Law Enforcement organizations. One of the main facilities to support training is the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Georgia. FLETC utilizes M&S as one option to provide better training to Law Enforcement officer. Furthermore, several training systems developed for other departments, in particular training simulation systems developed for the Armed Forces, are evaluated according to the adaptability and applicability for training provided at FLETC. However, the Technical Working Group is also looking at alternative uses of M&S, including serious gaming. The use of emerging technologies, including social networks, is another topic of interest.
Within this track, the current work, vision, and objectives for M&S Support shall be closer evaluated. We are therefore looking for topics like:
Technology Transition (T2) is a contemporary interest due to the frequent loss of great ideas to the "Valley of Death" between R&D and distribution organizations. Because T2 is often viewed as a process, the goal here is to demonstrate the successful use of modeling and simulation to emulate and facilitate the underlying innovation process to ensure good ideas make their way to candidate users. While developers have internal research and development (IRAD) processes and the sales chain maintain business development processes, the goal here is to describe and demonstrate the too often grey area in-between. The suggested domains over which to describe the large-scale integrated system's pricing technique include -

At Bedrock Divorce Advisors, we've seen the full range of underhanded tactics used by disgruntled husbands and/or their divorce teams –and to be honest, it's not at all pleasant to see adults act so irrationally.
But, please, don't misunderstand.
I'm not saying that all divorces are bitter battles. In fact, some are relatively amicable, and most are settled in rather straight forward fashion, outside the courts. Still, dirty tricks are much more common than women think, and I always tell my clients it's best to enter divorce with both eyes open, aware of what some husbands will do to gain an upper hand in the process.
Here's a small sampling of the most common dirty tricks I see. Your husband may try to:
"Conflict out" all the top divorce lawyers
"Conflicting out" divorce attorneys is becoming more and more popular, especially for those involved in financially complex divorce cases. Why? Because by "conflicting out" certain attorneys, your husband can make it difficult for you to hire the lawyer that's best for you.
The strategy for conflicting out is simple. Your husband makes appointments with all the top lawyers in your area. Then, he meets with each one –but only for a brief session. All he needs to do during those meeting is share enough information to create an attorney-client relationship. Once he does, that particular attorney will be prohibited from representing you.
Of course, your husband doesn't actually have to hire any of these attorneys. The entire goal with this tactic is to "conflict out" the best attorneys so you can't hire them.
The only way to combat this tactic is to hire a divorce attorney as quickly as you possibly can. That doesn't mean you should rush into a decision. But, it does mean you need to recognize the potential pitfalls of procrastination. If you wait too long to hire an attorney, your options may be limited.
Stall and delay
Some husbands stall and delay, dragging out routine divorce proceeding so they last one or two years --or even longer! By repeatedly rescheduling court hearings and/or filing excessive motions and requests for evidence, your husband can force your legal costs to skyrocket, while extending the time during which you must cover living expenses. What's the motivation? He's hoping you'll run out of money and be forced to agree to his settlement offer, which is probably extremely unfavorable to you.
Rush to settlement
While some husbands stall and delay, others do just the opposite --they exert extreme pressure to wrap up the divorce quickly. Why would a husband be in such a rush? Often, it's because he has something to hide. Here's how this tactic works: Very early in the process, your husband's attorney sends over a settlement proposal for you to review and counter. More often than not, this means he wants to get the divorce over and done with quickly, and he wants you to settle for what appears to be a reasonable offer.
The problem, of course, is that since you haven't had the time to receive (nor comb through) all the discovery documents requested, you don't have complete knowledge about key financial matters involving your marital assets, income sources, expenses, debts, etc. Plus, rushing to get a settlement is especially sneaky if your husband has been busy hiding assets and/or income, and now he is trying to get you to agree to a 50-50 split of only a portion of your total assets. Don't make the mistake of agreeing to a settlement based on only partial information!
Deny, deny, deny access to financial resources
If your husband realizes you're not particularly savvy about the family finances, he can use your lack of knowledge to his advantage. For example, he could make sure he's the only one who can access family funds. He could cut off your credit cards, move funds from family accounts and even change beneficiaries on his life insurance policies.
In some states, mandated Automatic Temporary Restraining Orders(called "ATROs," for short) prevent either party from changing the financial status quo of the marriage once a divorce action begins. But, automatic protections like this are not the law in every state, so check with your divorce attorney about the specifics of your case and what you need to do to maintain access to family funds.
By denying his wife access to financial resources, a husband can leave his wife without the money necessary to buy groceries, much less hire the right divorce team to represent her . . . all while he hires an excellent team to represent him.
This is especially problematic for abused womenwho live in constant fear of harm—to themselves and/or their children.
Hide assets
Hiding assets during a divorce is sneaky, unethical, illegal –and quite common. Be on the lookout for certain telltale signs that your husband has some dirty tricks up his sleeve. He could be stashing money in a safe deposit box (or elsewhere), underreporting income on tax returns and/or financial statements, overpaying the IRS or creditors (so he can get a refund after the divorce is settled), deferring salary, delaying new contracts and/or holding commissions or bonuses . . . the list goes on and on.
Fail to pay court-ordered support or refuse to relinquish assets
If your husband doesn't follow court orders, he's breaking the law, and he's forcing you to try to extract the promised payments --at considerable legal cost. What's more, all this financial and legal wrangling is terribly time-consuming. Some women put their jobs in jeopardy because they have to take so much time off to deal with these issues. Making matters worse still, many family courts do a poor job enforcing such orders, even when a woman follows its requirements to the letter, and unfortunately, even for a well-meaning judge, deception on the part of an ex-husband can be difficult to decipher or prove.
Divorcing women need to understand the full range of tactics some husbands use, and they need to be proactive –not reactive --as they work to secure the best possible divorce settlement. Because there are so many different dirty tricks, I recommend that women maintain their own emergency fund in a separate bank account, even if divorce has never entered their minds.
If you are contemplating divorce, make sure you start organizing your personal finances and important documentsunder the guidance of a qualified divorce financial planner. During the divorce, you'll need to Think Financially, Not Emotionally®so you can keep your finances intact while planning for a secure financial future.

I got these Chocolate bears in a candy swap with a Bavarian friend on Flickr. They were a surprise to say the least, as I didn't specifically request them. I know little of the confectionery found in Bavaria, so I figured a swap might give me a good idea of what I might find on candy shelves there.
I sadly can't tell you much about the candy. The writing on the package is all a type of Bavarian German, which is something I don't read or understand. Thankfully, a picture is worth a thousand words. So all I really need to see is a brown colored bear, and I feel safe in assuming I'm eating some sort of chocolate.
The package holds three of these chocolate bears, and they look exactly like the illustrations on the box. They're even the same size! It's rare that a package so accurately depicts the product inside. The bears are a nice brown color, and beautifully molded with cute nubbins for arms and legs, a smiling snout and a cute bow tie.
The flavor is…lacking to say the least. It's only taste is of sweetness. I get no chocolate, no cream, no caramel, nothing. The texture is extremely slick and unnaturally greasy. I felt like I had a coating on my tongue long after I had swallowed the candy bear. I have a suspicion that this is mockolate, but there's really no way of telling for sure considering my lack of language skills.
I'm happy to have tried these, but they're nothing I'm interested in eating ever again.

I have a clutch push rod bearing from a WLA I would like to refurbish.
I haven't pulled it apart yet, but, Is there a kit or a replacement bearing available to replace the old gritty one I have.
I don't like to scrap parts if I don't have to.
I found one on fleabay, but how do cylindrical rollers work revolving around 360 degrees, in a thrust application??
Shouldn't the profile of the roller elements be conical, so there is a total rolling action, rather than a rolling and sliding action.
Surely these bearings would recieve little grease, due to the zerk or alemite grease nipple on the clutch operating arm.
During maintenance, some folk would say, yep, I'll have to get around to doing something about that grease nipple, or yep, I'll have to remember to locate one of those special grease guns, and the bearing would suffer, not that they are a high duty cycle item.
Just a thought. Thanks always.
regards Keith

Enthusiastic crowds recently came to the courts to support players and to play in the Bocce Ball Tournament at Sun City Carolina Lakes. The tournament was a fundraiser for Safe Passage, a local organization that helps victims of domestic abuse.
After three days of fierce competition, the following trophies were awarded to the winners:
◆ First place: Marc and Brenda Piette and Joe and Dell Lamoureux
◆ Second place: Roger and Lois Unbehagen and Michael and Frieda Nellenbach
◆ Third place: Bill Toflinski, Bonnie George and Bruce and Joan Vanetti
The 2012 Sun City Volunteers and Helping Hands drive for Safe Passage was a big success.
Susan McClure, who served as event co-chair with Jackie Sharp, said more than $700 in checks, cash and gift cards were collected, along with 158 cellular phones and hundreds – if not thousands – of toiletry items.
"In fact, we have so many, I'm going to give some (toiletry items) to Lancaster Children's Home and the men's shelter in Charlotte," McClure said.
DES PLAINES, ILL. —September is Mold Awareness Month and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) wants homeowners to know how to recognize signs of mold or water damage, how to catch these issues early on or prevent them all together.
On a late August morning while enjoying coffee beside our pond, we noticed a flurry of activity high in a slender tree near the water's edge opposite our chairs. Binoculars revealed a large number of juvenile blue birds, red bellied woodpeckers and American goldfinches picnicking on the dark blue berry-like fruits of a Black Gum Tupelo.
From release
For many years, Lancaster County Historical Commission has wanted a building to use as a museum.
Lancaster County was one of only two counties in S.C. which did not have a county museum, so when the historic courthouse was renovated, Lancaster County council gave LCHC three of the four rooms on the first floor to use as a museum. The fourth room is the county welcome center, which was also much-needed.
Residents of Sun City Carolina Lakes recently joined thousands of neighborhoods across America in the 29th annual Neighborhood Night Out, held Aug. 7.
Community residents came together to enjoy the evening with Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile and the SWAT team, firefighters, EMS and Rescue Squad from Indian Land, the American Red Cross Disaster Response Unit and the Pink Tow Truck serving the Indian Land area.
S.C. House Rep. Deborah Long and S.C. Sen. Greg Gregory joined the community and visited with residents.
Gloria Kellerhals and Ben Boyles have been "joined at the hip" for hours on end.
The two have worked together to increase awareness of the Catawba Regional Local Food Coalition.
"Ben has worked hours and hours and hours," Kellerhals said. "We've been together almost 24/7."
Ann Clingenpeel used to be a labor and delivery nurse at Piedmont Hospital. It was her dream job,and she enjoyed every minute of it.
In 2010, all of that would change, and her life would become a testament to something good coming out of something very bad, in the form of a new – and unexpected – change in career.
When we began tree farming, one of the first things we did was plant 500 white oak trees in former horse pastures.
White oaks were chosen because they are native to S.C. and commonly live for two centuries and longer, both highly desirable traits for our goal of creating a "legacy forest."
White oaks are also an excellent choice for supporting wildlife.
Their abundant crops of palatable acorns provide valuable food for turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, deer, wood ducks and numerous bird species.
GREAT FALLS – Dillon Pearson has a dream of meeting Miami Heat 6-foot, 8-inch forward Lebron James. He has an infatuation with the professional basketball player.
Sitting at his entertainment center, Pearson smiles at he points to James' photo and career statistics in the top left corner of the TV screen.Pearson said meeting James is tops on his wish list of things he would like to do.
His second wish, also sports-related, is to attend a Carolina/Clemson football game. Pearson is a Clemson Tigers fan.

The Mailbox Rule — What condos and HOAs should know
One of the first things taught in contract law is "the mailbox rule." Acceptance of a contract is effective when it is mailed, absent a contractual agreement otherwise. Mailing can be shown by a number of ways, including a postmark or certified mail. In this context, it is the date of the mailing that is important – not the time that it is received.
A similar rule applies in association law. By statute, condo and HOA owners are entitled to a notice of the association's intent to lien and foreclose for assessments, before the association takes further action. The 'effective date' of the notice is defined by statute as the date of mailing — not the date of receipt. For condos, this is found in F.S. 718.121 (4) for the notice of intent to lien, and in F.S. 718.116 (6)(b) for the notice of intent to foreclose. For HOAs, the equivalent provision can be found in 720.3085 (4)(a) which states, "The written notice or demand must…[p]rovide the owner with 45 days following the date the notice is deposited in the mail."
There is little debate about when notice is effective. What about crediting owners' assessment payments? In my experience, this creates needless arguments for owners and associations, over late fees and interest charges. In the absence of a specific statute or provision in the governing documents (Declaration), when should the association credit an owner's payment?
a. When the recipient unearths it from the bottom of the inbox?
b. When the payment is actually received?
c. When the payment is mailed?
Strangely enough, I have run into more than a few individuals that seem to think the answer should be (a). It isn't. Florida courts have been abundantly clear about when payment should be credited. The mailbox rule applies here too. Payment is tendered when mailed – not when received, or worse yet, when the board secretary, property manager or attorney unearth it from the inbox two weeks after receiving it. This is true in contract law, and association law is based on contract law. In recent years, there have been a number of association cases in which courts reversed foreclosure judgments because the homeowner had proved the association kept sloppy records, refused to accept partial payments or otherwise had hindered 'performance' (timely payment).
Associations should be demanding that their officers, employees and agents have a policy for time-stamping incoming payments. Failure to implement such a policy can backfire, and end up costing associations more than the assessments they were attempting to recover.

The next time you think you're too old to do something, just remember the story of Tamae Watanabe.
The 73-year-old mountaineer from Japan broke her own record earlier this month to retain her title as the oldest woman to climb Mount Everest, USA Today reports, and she's not hanging up her summiting equipment yet.
"She's a very strong climber and has always been very active," Watanabe's Sherpa, Ang Tshering, tells London's Daily Telegraph, according to the newspaper. "She has always loved the mountains and has been climbing in the Japanese Alps and around the world for many years."
And the real altitude booster here? Experts tell USA Today age is becoming less and less of a barrier when it comes to continuing to experience active, or even extreme, feats and physical challenges.
"My guess is that as more people 'age up' who have been active their whole lives and are really committed, we will see more interesting things from people in the 60-to-80 age range," exercise specialist Michael Joyner of the Mayo Clinic tells the newspaper.
We'll begin with scaling the stairs at the office. Hey, it's a start, right?

In the midst of a routinely gorgeous evening of music, something funny happened at the Utah Symphony, they were upstaged by a soloist - and even Mozart's show closing Symphony No. 40 seemed a bit anti-climatic following the program's third segment.
That's because guest clarinetist Ted Calcara completely enlivened and invigorated the near-capacity audience inside Abravnel Hall for the first of two performances of a music program leaning heavily on the compositions of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
With his rhythmic, swirling style of clarinet taking over the all-too brief Concerto in A Major for Clarinet and Orchestra, the leader of Salt Lake's New Deal Swing Big Band richly deserved the bouquet of flowers brought out to him at the segment's conclusion. After the standing ovation, the orchestra then turned its attention to the wonderful Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, which trust me - you may not recognize by name, but as sure as you've seen car commercials and movies, you've heard portions of this transcendent piece of music.
Although there was nothing wrong with the Utah Symphony's rendering of the program's, the energy seemed to have drained slightly from the building after Calcara's departure.
The entire program will be repeated at 8 p.m. Saturday and tickets remain on sale. If you love Mozart or dynamic performers, you'll want to be there.

Didier Reynders meets his Senegalese counterpart together with a large economic delegation
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders on Friday 7 February welcomed his Senegalese counterpart, Minister Mankeur Ndiaye, accompanied by a large delegation from the economic sector of Senegal.
During their meeting, the two Ministers welcomed the strengthening of the economic ties uniting Belgium and Senegal. The Ministers considered the possibilities for diversifying Belgium's presence in Senegal through new investments. Didier Reynders commended the efforts of the Senegalese authorities in favour of greater transparency of public finances and concerning the struggle against corruption, which constitute positive signals for investors. The Ministers also identified the key sectors that offer the potential for strengthening Belgian-Senegalese economic relations, such as agro-industry, biotechnology, tourism, sanitation, air transport as well as rail and port infrastructure.
The Ministers also exchanged their views of the situation in the Sahel region, in the Central African Republic and in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In the same spirit, they reaffirmed the strong commitment of the two countries to work with determination toward peace, security, justice and development in Africa.
Didier Reynders wished Senegal every success in organizing the Summit of the International Francophone Organization (OIF) that will be held in Dakar from 29 to 30 November 2014.
Minister Reynders expressed to his counterpart his desire to pay a visit to Senegal in the near future in order to continue these fruitful exchanges between the two countries.

A few months back, several of us at More were chatting about our recent experiences in Paris when we realized we'd all been shocked by the same sight: the number of over-40 women who were really thin. And we weren't talking models or socialites; these were real people, just walking the streets of the city. "I was struck by how little the French resemble their midsection-challenged American counterparts," recalls More's contributing fashion features editor, Susan Swimmer. "They eat creamy cheeses, red meat and unlimited wine; they have a laissez-faire approach to exercise—in other words, they all seem to be endowed with the metabolism of teenage boys."
It took just a few minutes of investigating to confirm our impressions as fact: Official statistics show that while the average française stands five foot three and weighs 139 pounds, a typical American woman is the same height but 27 pounds heavier. The -really annoying part? On average, the French consume a slightly higher percentage of fat in their diets (38 percent of total calories) than Americans do (34 percent).
In an attempt to explain this French paradox—fatty food and slender women—More decided to stage an experiment. What would happen if a working mother in New York switched diets and general lifestyle for two weeks with her Paris match? Would one gain weight? Would the other lose? Which would feel more energetic? More's Susan Swimmer immediately threw her chapeau into the ring to become the American guinea pig; Parisian Stéphanie Cubain, a freelance English teacher, stepped up to the challenge on the French side.
For eating guidelines, we turned to Manuel Villacorta, RD, a San Francisco–based nutritionist and the author of Eating Free: The Carb-Friendly Way to Lose Inches, Embrace Your Hunger and Keep the Weight Off for Good. Villacorta based these regimens on the food patterns of his clients, who tend to be high-powered American women (translation: crazy busy and with enough income to avoid cooking at home except when they want to), as well as on his observations of similarly situated Europeans.
The rules of the American diet-exercise regimen were: Eat lots of takeout, processed and fast foods; skip breakfast or have it late; multitask while downing food; go to restaurants often; consume most calories at dinner; and exercise strenuously, usually at a gym, most days of the week. The Continental plan? Cook most of your meals, including substantial breakfasts and lunches; focus on high-quality, minimally processed foods; sit down for meals, preferably with family; eat slowly; and exercise mainly by walking around doing errands.
Here, each woman explains how she fared in the experiment.

There's still no trace of a 14-year-old Walnut Ridge girl who vanished more than a week ago.
Police and others spent another day sweeping through Lawrence County chasing down any lead that might help them find Sidney Nicole Randall.
Her step-father, John Cornell, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound a day after Sidney went missing, has been cremated and his remains are with his parents, the girl's mother said.

It was a tragic story on many levels -- of personal humiliation, of widespread cover-up among the elite ranks of international cycling and tacit denial by the media and sponsors. Perhaps most crushing of all, it tainted Armstrong's most important victory -- over cancer -- and the hope it represented for so many individuals currently fighting the disease.
Armstrong and many of his colleagues, including a handful with Utah ties, have since been stripped of their medals and banned or suspended from competing. Some say the punishment is too harsh, that use of the drugs was too widespread to single out a few as scapegoats.
We disagree. Like the recent suspensions of high-profile baseball players and past Olympic doping incidents involving cross country skiers, wrestlers and runners, we owe it to future athletes to be tough and uniformly consistent in rooting out substance abuse in all sports, professional and amateur.
It is important to communicate to those talented superstars on whose coattails we ride that they do not have to sacrifice their health for our entertainment or national pride. And, we need to be equally judgmental of the organizations that allow such abuses to occur.
Yes, stripping Armstrong of seven Tour de France medals is harsh, but if we continue to condone, even by negligence, the use of performance-enhancing drugs, we ensure the playing field will always be rigged. In a town that prides itself on raising champions, we have an even stronger duty to ensure that drugs have no place on the podium.
We can do that by enforcing zero-tolerance doping policies from the high school sports level on up, and by making testing mandatory and justice swift.

This book was done as a 90th birthday present for my teacher Ann D. Schuler.It contains over 250 pages of her drawings spanning over 40 years. The drawings range from quick gesture sketches to more finished drawings of 20 minutes .They were done in class at her school and were done for the love of drawing and the figure. Alas, Ann is no longer with us , so this is now a memorial to a great artist and lady.Anyone who loves fine drawings in the style of the old masters should take a look as there is nothing like this book anywhere. Another book was done by Ann's daughter . It contains more drawings with captions and drawings used for the paintings as well as the oil paintings they were used for. It can be ordered from the Schuler School of fine Arts or it might be found here on blurb. It was my privilege to have been her student and friend and to be able to select from over 400 drawings of the thousands she did to compile this book. Goodbye Ann you will be missed but you will live on in your work.

New Castle County: Call (302) 792-9538 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com. from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

"I, too made them with the brownie mix because I had it on hand. These turned out really well like this and I will try the cake mix next time so I can give a proper rating on the recipe as it is."

A Win by Women's Hockey Keeps Tigers Alive for Postseason
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (2/22/13) - The Princeton women's hockey team earned a significant 2-1 win over Brown on Friday, Feb. 22. The victory keeps the Tigers alive for playoff contention. If Princeton defeats Yale tomorrow, it will clinch the No. 8 seed in the ECAC Tournament.
Princeton grabbed an early lead when junior Olivia Mucha scored an unassisted 1:10 into the game. Mucha deked netminder Aubree Moore and tucked the puck in low on the blocker side.
Alena Polenska knotted the game at 1-1 at 13:14. Samantha Woodward sent a pass to Brittany Moorehead in the neutral zone. Moorehead skated in and took a shot on freshman Kimberly Newell. The save rebounded back out on the ice and Polenska was there to buy the rebound.
Freshman Molly Contini scored the game winner with 2:15 to play in the opening period. She and senior Kelly Cooke had a 2x1 and Contini backhanded the puck past Moore for the go-ahead goal.
The final two periods were scoreles with each team having two power-play opportunities.
Newell earned her 10th win of the season, stopping 23 shots. Moore made 29 saves in the losing effort.
Princeton improves to 11-15-2 overall and 6-13-2 in the ECAC.
The Tigers will face Yale tomorrow, Feb. 23 at Ingalls Rink. The puck drops at 4 p.m.

|Vandals advance
SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Four Vandals finished with double-digit kills and the Idaho volleyball team had its second-highest hitting percentage of the season as it beat Texas State 3-1 in the Western Athletic Conference quarterfinals on Monday to advance to its second straight conference semifinal.
Idaho improves to 16-13 on the season with the win, while No. 7 seed Texas State finished its season with a 14-16 record. The second-seeded Vandals won 25-14, 21-25, 25-18, 25-21, and will face host UTSA, the third seed, at 4 p.m. Central on Tuesday.
Idaho's Allison (Walker) Baker had a team-high 13 kills and added 11 digs, finishing with her sixth consecutive double-double, 21st of the season, and her 45th consecutive match with double-digit kills. Sophomore Jessica Hastriter came off the bench and had 12 kills in the match. Senior Alex Sele added 11 kills and three blocks, hitting .500, and junior Taylor Wilkinson, filling in for injured first-team All-WAC sophomore Alyssa Schultz, had 10 kills, five blocks, and also hit .500.
"The big thing for our match tonight is we had balance, we had multiple kids involved," Idaho coach Debbie Buchanan said. "Jessica Hastriter came off the bench and had a great night. We had Taylor Wilkinson come off the bench filling in for Alyssa Schultz, and both of those kids did an outstanding job.
"It's always unfortunate when you lose a player, and Alyssa is an asset to this team and has been all year, but that also allows the next kid to come in and shine, who has worked hard all year and competed on a daily basis and never given up," Buchanan added on Wilkinson. "She did an outstanding job and that's what you want."
Wilkinson's 10 kills came on 18 attempts, and she had just one error in the match.
"I was a little nervous," Wilkinson admitted. "That's definitely a huge loss to our team, but we have good coaches and good teammates and they've prepared me well. I knew that my team would back me up and have confidence in me so I just went out there and played my best."
Jenny Feicht had 38 assists and Ryann Carter had 11, and the two combined to set Idaho to a .302 hitting percentage in the match. The Vandals out-blocked the Bobcats 8.0-7.0, and held Texas State to a .226 hitting percentage.
Julia Church finished the match with seven kills and no errors, and added five blocks, hitting .467. Ashley Christman had six kills and hit .308. Janelle Chow had a match-high 22 digs, and Church and Feicht added eight each.
The Vandals will face UTSA on their home court on Tuesday. Idaho and UTSA split the regular season series, with each team winning at home. Both teams finished with 13-5 WAC records.
Texas State's Alexandra Simms finished with a match-high 17 kills, and Caleigh MCCorquodale added 13 kills.
"We want to keep pushing here, we're not done. We've got a lot left in is and we can dig down and keep fighting," Buchanan said. "They definitely have the home court advantage, but we're rolling right now, we're playing well and it's going to be a battle. They're going to have to do a lot to come in and try to beat us, and the same thing for us. We're going to have to really execute."

One of the perks of having Utah Style & Design as a sister-publication is sharing all of the great content provided by the magazine with Salt Lakemagazine's readers. We couldn't pass this one up.
For those of you pulling on plastic shower curtains or stepping into dark, tiled caverns for your morning scrub, prepare yourself for shower envy. This glass enclosure makes quick showers unthinkable. "It's a non-existent shower. It's everything but not really there," says architect Kevin Watts, who conceived the feature as part of the spacious master bath located in a mountainside home overlooking Salt Lake City. It's pretty impressive as is the rest of the room.
Check out the entire bathroom's design in the new issue of Utah Style & Design, on newsstands now. Click here to visit utahstyleanddesign.com.

How do I record a Vyew Meeting?
The recording function is available through a small installation (Windows only).
You must install the software there, which gives you these features:
– Recording your screen with audio (built-in Voip only)
– Faster desktop screen sharing
– Drag and drop of files onto Accelerator into Vyew
– Print to Vyew (from any application)
NOTE: The link above, also contains the link of where to go to playback recordings.
Known Issues:
When recording and using VOIP (push to talk) audio in vyew, this works, but upon playback of the recording sometimes if you pressed start/stop multiple times during the recording, the playback might skip audio. We are working on fixing this soon.

Thanks, a the fellas at silencertalk.com recommended the very same one to me for my purposes.
The biggest considerations, given my research, for a suppressor are:
-durability and longevity
-ease of use and ability to clean
-solid construction(stainless)
cosmetics and weight are non-factors in my search. I want something that will LAST and is "overbuilt" as I have been told that the Spectre IS.
I am saving all of my money for this as we speak.If all goes according to plan, I should have the money for this around March or April.
Then, I'll need to save a bit more to have a gunsmith buddy of mine recrown and thread the barrels of my .22 and .17 to accept this suppressor.
I just bought a few boxes of .22lr sub-sonic ammo in preparation for this new addition.
