Dayton takes Syracuse's chances of advancing to the Sweet 16 by beating the Orange in a 55-53 win.
Syracuse had a chance to win but Tyler Ennis' short pull up jumper bounced off the rim as time expired and gave Dayton a trip to the Sweet 16. Ennis led all scores with 19 points, but it was not enough to help Syracuse pull out the win.
Dayton has not been to the Sweet 16 since 1984.
Now Dayton must get prepared to play either Kansas or Stanford when these two meet Sunday.

Update: Completed in August 2013
Barksdale Road Reconstruction
The City's Stormwater Services Division and the Streets Division are working on reconstruction of the 500 block of Barksdale Road between Red Fox Road and North Hampton Road. This project is being performed in conjunction with the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority's sewer line replacement project. Installation of the new sewer line has been completed. Stormwater Services crews are currently replacing old metal pipes under the road with larger concrete pipe and also constructing four new drainage catch basins to replace the existing drainage structures. Once drainage work is completed, the Streets Division will construct new curb and gutter and pave the road. This portion of Barksdale Road was previously identified as needing major rehabilitation. By working with CFPUA, all improvements will be done within one project.

Handbook of Business Procedures
Date published:
Last revised:
Issued by:
March 8, 2012
March 30, 2012
Part 24. HUB/SB Office—Small and Disadvantaged Business Organizations - Table of Contents
A. Introduction
The federal contracts negotiated by The University of Texas at Austin refer to businesses as small business concerns. A business concern is a business entity organized for profit, with a place of business located in the United States. A business concern may be a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or any other legal form.
A business owner may qualify as a concern under specific U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) programs based on a variety of factors. For more information, go to the SBA's Am I a Small Business Concern? Web page. For a list of the SBA programs, go to the Small Business Certifications & Audiences Web page.
B. Federal Regulations Governing Subcontracting of Small Businesses
According to the Federal Acquisitions Regulation (FAR), Subpart 19.7 – The Small Business Subcontracting Program, 19.701 Definitions, a subcontract is "any agreement (other than one involving an employer-employee relationship) entered into by a Government prime contractor or subcontractor calling for supplies and/or services required for performance of the contract, contract modification, or subcontract."
According to the Federal Acquisitions Regulation (FAR), Subpart 52.2 – Text of Provisions and Clauses, 52.219-9 Small Business Subcontracting Plan, subcontracting plans must be submitted for each contract or contract modification that is expected to exceed $650,000 (or $1,500,000 for construction). The subcontracting plan's goals are negotiated between the university's principle investigator (PI), the HUB/SB Coordinator/Director serving as the small business liaison officer (SBLO) for the university, and the awarding federal agency.
C. The University of Texas at Austin's Small Business Master Subcontracting Plan
The Historically Underutilized Business/Small Business (HUB/SB) Program Office, with the approval of the Office of Naval Research, has developed a master subcontracting plan for The University of Texas at Austin. The university's outreach efforts are governed under the Small Business Master Subcontracting Plan. The Principal Investigator (PI) is responsible for submitting an Exhibit 1 document for approval to the HUB/SB Program Office when the solicitation is expected to exceed $650,000 and involves federal contract funds. For assistance with completing Exhibit 1, Principal Investigators may refer to the Small Business Subcontracting Detailed Procedures for Federal Contracts.
Upon approval, the university department or the HUB/SB Program Office submits the Exhibit 1 document to the awarding federal agency for its approval. For more information, go to the SBA's Subcontracting Assistance Program Web page.
The Small Business Master Subcontracting Plan requires that the small business concerns listed in the subcontracting plan (small; veteran-owned; service-disabled veteran-owned; HUBZone; small disadvantaged; historically black colleges and universities and minority institutions, including tribal colleges and universities; and woman-owned) have maximum opportunity to participate as subcontractors under federal contracts, to the extent that the opportunity is feasible and allows efficient contract performance.
Goals for each of these business concerns are developed for each solicitation expected to exceed $650,000 and involving federal contract funds. Goals are expressed in terms of percentages and dollars of total planned subcontracting. They will also include a description of the principal products and services to be acquired from each of the small business concerns. The small business concerns listed in the Small Business Master Subcontracting Plan must be used to meet program goals whenever possible.
D. Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Grant Program
As part of the Federal Small Business Program, the university is responsible for the administration of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Environmental Justice Grants & Programs. Goals for the EPA Grants and Programs are developed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

The first day of testing at the Sepang International circuit for the three CRT teams that will be using the spec Magneti Marelli ECU was hindered by a myraid of different problems that limited track action.
Only two riders actually set lap times, one was Ioda Racing's Danilo Petrucci who managed to put in 27 laps with a best time of 2.06.841 on his 2012 version of the Suter- BMW with the new ECU, while his new team mate Lukas Pesek did none.
Recovering Hiroshi Aoyama was the second rider to record any lap times as he did nine laps, testing more the fitness of his recently broken wrist, than actually working on the development on the Avintia Blusens FTR-Kawasaki, and his time was 2.12.062, but he complained of pain and will decide tomorrow whether to continue.
Aoyama's team mate Hector Barbera managed in the 8-hour test only four laps with both wiring and electronic issues curtailing his test and no lap times were recorded as the Spaniard did not complete one single recordable full lap.
Colin Edwards and Claudio Corti wasted the entire day sitting on the sidelines watching their NGM Forward Racing team building their bikes, as they received several parts late. Only Edwards did one lap with his new FTR-Kawasaki before the track closed at 6pm.
Missing from the ECU test is Michael Laverty as his PBMUK squad decided to delay the debut of their own PBM-01 CRT machine (GPMS/Aprilia) until the second Sepang test scheduled from February 26-28.
With track time hindered none of the riders had real chance to test the new CRT-specific softer compound rear tires that Bridgestone will supply to all CRT teams.
All six riders will have another day of private testing tomorrow, before being joined by the rest of the MotoGP and CRT teams (running Aprilia electronics) on Tuesday for another three days of official testing.

Sports Lovers and Foodies Rejoice!
It's back to basics at the M Resort's Vig Deli. Stuffy sandwiches and fancy names are nowhere to be found on this classic menu of made-to-order deli favorites. Designed with the consummate bettor and sports buff in mind, the Vig offers views of the sports book screens, eliminating the headache of long lines during the mad dash to refuel at halftime. If you like to reminisce about games you saw, races you watched and teams that "shoulda been," you'll find the walls covered in some of the greatest sporting lists from Triple Crown winners to football's elite.
Far from just a sports book snack bar, the Vig Deli is a destination eatery in its own right. Featuring traditional deli staples such as meatball subs and hot pastrami, the Vig also impresses with hand-tossed pizzas and homemade chili and soups. You can conveniently order by the numbers for a quick snack, sweet treat or hearty meal.
Check out the Vig Deli essentials that Vig Deli Chef Tom Monsoor can't live without:
#32 Club: Hefty helpings of turkey, corned beef, pastrami, sauerkraut and provolone stacked high between layers of marble rye.
#37 Spaghetti & Meatballs: Three tasty homemade meatballs flank a healthy portion of spaghetti topped with our rich marinara. Soak it all up with two slices of fresh garlic bread.
#14 BBQ Beef: A pile of top brisket slathered in BBQ sauce and served on a homemade roll.
#24 Grilled Chicken Pita Wrap: Gotta have a little something healthy too right? We take a 9" pita and stuff it with grilled chicken, onions and mushrooms and top it with a slice of provolone.
Located next to the race and sports book, the Vig Deli is open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 a.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 8 a.m. to 7 a.m.

In the poll I have 3 options because that's mainly what i'm asking but you can add more by commenting. I'm asking you Microsoft fans and Nintendo fans... How do you see Nintendo/Microsoft fans like me? Do you see us as allies, neutral, or enimies? I personally see Microsoft fans as allies because I feel like they're not against us most of the time and it just feels like we get along better than Microsoft and Sony or Nintendo and Sony would get along.
I said, Nintendo/Microsoft so both sides could have a say...... Just to clear confusion

Myriad Pharmaceuticals bought Panacos Pharmaceuticals' rights and assets related to mid-stage HIV treatment bevirimat for $7 million. Panacos reports that it decided to sell this first-generation maturation inhibitor, which is its only clinical compound, to manage capital resources. In December, the firm nixed over 50% of its employees.
"We now turn our full attention to our other promising HIV programs and seeking additional financing and partnerships," says Alan W. Dunton, M.D., Panacos' president and CEO. "We retain a significant intellectual property estate including all of the company's second- and third-generation maturation inhibitor compounds, the company's novel oral fusion inhibitor program, and our assays."
Myriad gains patents and patent applications related to the compound, product inventory, rights to regulatory filings, and various contracts. Bevirimat has shown to be a potent inhibitor of HIV isolates that are resistant to currently approved drugs. Myriad will take over the Phase IIb clinical studies and will be responsible for further development and regulatory filings.

Hyper-targeted effort will engage activists and voters to kick off the 2012 campaign and frame the failed economic policies of Willard Romney
Today, Workers' Voice announced that they will begin their first wave of hyper-targeted online grassroots advertising. The half a million dollar buy will engage activists and voters – both union and non union – to kick off the 2012 campaign and frame the failed economic policies of Willard Romney.
People who sign up online for Workers' Voice will be the first to have access to our new online field tools and be able to participate in our first round of grassroots 2012 actions to be announced later this week. This will also allow activists to begin earning "points" towards being able to direct how Workers' Voice allocates our resources.
"These grassroots ads are just the first step in our efforts to combine old fashioned organizing energy with cutting edge technology," said AFL-CIO Political Director Michael Podhorzer. "Our activists across the country will be hitting the ground running with the ability to begin taking action later this week."
In addition to building and activating a grassroots network to engage in field activities – both online and offline – the ads will begin to frame the failed economic policies of Willard Romney who made his quarter billion dollar fortune by firing workers, sending their jobs overseas and stashing the profits in secret offshore bank accounts.
Key facts about the ads:
- They will run across all online platforms including websites, Facebook, Twitter & search displays.
- They will be targeted to both union and non-union working families.
- They will run nation-wide, with heavier buys in PA, OH, MI, WI, FL and NV.
- 15-25% of the ads will be in Spanish.
Four versions of the ads can be seen here.

Lottery winners celebrate at SoL
by Stuart Vose
Wearside brother and sister scoop EuroMillions prize.
A brother and sister from Sunderland plan to move into the same street after winning £1m in the EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle draw.
Sunderland fan John David Summerville (52) and his sister Margaret Caffry (67), celebrated at the Stadium of Light after scooping the prize.
John had also won £4.90 on the same ticket by matching two numbers and one Lucky Star but the shop assistant flagged up that the ticket was worth much more!
Former fork lift truck driver John said: "I thought there was a problem with the ticket at first when I took it in to have it checked and couldn't believe it when I found out I'd won the EuroMillions Raffle as well as the £4.90.
"It was an unbelievable feeling and I couldn't wait to tell my sister Margaret. When I told her that we'd won on the EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle she thought I was having a laugh and when she realised I was telling the truth, it really hit home.
"We've tried to contain our excitement but can't contain it any more and it's been a whirlwind ever since!"
Margaret, who works as a dinner supervisor at Thornhill School said: "I really didn't believe it until the lady from The National Lottery came to see us in person. Then it really sunk in!
"I still need to keep pinching myself to be honest as I'm so excited about winning such a big amount of money. John and I are very close and I wanted him to take a bigger share of the ticket as it was his turn to put this one on but he wants to share it equally."
With his winnings John plans to move into his own house on the same street as Margaret so they can be closer. Margaret is planning on splashing out on some major renovations to her home, where she wants to stay.
Treats for members of the family are also on the cards along with putting some money away for a rainy day and maybe a holiday, although Margaret needs to wait until the school holidays before she makes up her mind on which holiday destination she'll visit!
John bought his winning EuroMillions ticket from Mattersons newsagents in Sunderland. The Millionaire Raffle number drawn was VMV563125 in the draw on Friday 26th April.

It wouldn't be Rose Parade coverage without at least some mention of the two teams who played in the Rose Bowl Game. In 2014, the 100th Rose Bowl game was a match between the Michigan State University Spartans and Stanford University Cardinal. MSU won the game, but who looked best in the 125th Rose Parade?
There couldn't be greater contrast between the parade styles of the schools. MSU fields the traditional military-style band and the traditional mascot, while Stanford has what appears to be a ragtag assembly of Bay-area free spirits. Appearances are misleading; the band is well-rehearsed and talented enough to stay together while eschewing the usual ranks, files and diagonals.
And mascots? A Spartan is easy enough to pull off, but what about Cardinal? It isn't "cardinal" like a bird, it's "cardinal" like the color. Sort of like the Harvard or Alabama Crimson. So why not a tree? Not any tree. A skinny redwood, modeled after the official seals of the university and the city of Palo Alto.
The Tree performers audition for the role and create their own costumes. What's your impression of the 2013-2014 Stanford Tree? Take a look at the attached slideshow.

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2009 Article IV Consultation with the Solomon IslandsPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 09/126
November 4, 2009
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case. The staff report (use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this pdf file) for the 2009 Article IV Consultation with Solomon Islands is also available.
On October 16, 2009, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with the Solomon Islands.1
Economic conditions in the Solomon Islands have weakened in 2009, given the effects of the global recession and a logging sector decline. Real GDP growth is projected at 0.4 percent this year, compared to 6.9 percent in 2008. On the positive side, inflation pressures have eased substantially, mainly owing to lower fuel and food prices. An expected drop in timber exports has been more than offset by the lower cost of commodity imports, leading to a projected narrowing in the external current account deficit to 11 percent of GDP in 2009, from around 19 percent in 2008.
In light of the slowdown, the fiscal position will likely weaken in 2009, with possible financing constraints. The overall fiscal balance is expected to slip into a deficit of around 0.4 percent of GDP this year, as compared to a surplus of 1.5 percent of GDP in the previous year. Affecting this are lower timber-related tax receipts and weak spending controls, despite measures taken by the government to conserve cash. As a result, its cash position is expected to remain under strain in 2009 and possibly the next few years, absent further fiscal adjustment and new external assistance.
At the same time, liquidity conditions have tightened, with external inflows and deposit growth slowing significantly. Private sector credit is projected to rise by only 6 percent this year, compared to 26½ percent in 2008. The exchange rate vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar has been allowed to weaken modestly since mid-2008, but in real effective terms it has increased substantially, possibly adding to external pressures.
In the near to medium term, growth is expected to remain below the levels observed in recent years. Although recovery of the global economy and new foreign direct investment, especially in mining and telecommunication sectors, could provide a lift to the economy in 2010, declining logging and ancillary activity will likely act as a drag to income and employment, fiscal revenue, and export receipts over the medium term. In the event, both the fiscal position and current account could come under more strain, with the possibility of large and unsustainable macroeconomic imbalances.
In order to place the economy on a more stable path and lay down the conditions for higher sustained growth, policy measures should be adopted to strengthen the fiscal position, reduce external vulnerabilities, and improve the overall investment climate. On the fiscal front, more efforts are needed to broaden the revenue base and contain recurrent spending, especially in view of the current cash and borrowing constraints, which may persist for some time. In this light, the 2010 budget should be geared toward a modest surplus.
Regarding monetary policy, the current accommodative stance appears appropriate. However, greater exchange rate flexibility may be needed, in view of tight liquidity conditions and to protect foreign reserves. Over the longer term, additional monetary control will need to come through development of new policy instruments and a strengthening of the liquidity management framework.
The banking system appears well positioned against the current slowdown, but given rapid credit expansion in earlier years and signs of rising liquidity and credit risks, tight enforcement by the Central Bank of Solomon Islands of new prudential rules will be important to ensuring sound financial performance and proper risk management control by banks.
Creating conditions for higher growth in nonlogging sectors is essential to improving the fiscal and external position, providing new employment opportunities, and reducing vulnerability to shocks. In addition to maintaining a stable macroeconomic environment, further structural reforms aimed at lowering operating costs and ensuring better access to land are also needed.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors noted that the Solomon Islands faces a more challenging environment than in the recent past. The impact of the global recession and lower logging output could dampen short-term growth prospects, undermine the fiscal position, and increase external vulnerability given projected reserve losses. Against this background, Directors encouraged the authorities to continue to gear macroeconomic policies toward maintaining stability, while pressing ahead with essential structural reforms aimed at strengthening public administration, improving the business climate, and diversifying the production base.
Directors advised the authorities to address the increasingly unsustainable fiscal situation, given possible permanent losses in logging-related revenues, relatively large expenditure outlays, and government financing constraints. They highlighted the need to tighten fiscal policy to conserve cash and avoid external pressures in the near-term through greater spending discipline, especially in nonessential recurrent areas and the government wage bill, which could also avoid squeezing out domestically financed development spending. Directors welcomed the authorities' intention to adopt an internationally accepted tax regime for the emerging mining sector, with the help of Fund technical assistance.
Directors agreed that medium-term fiscal sustainability hinges on steady implementation of structural fiscal reforms aimed at strengthening revenue administration and reducing tax and customs exemptions, as well as improving cash management, budget integration, and accounting and auditing functions. They underlined the importance of additional external budget support to safeguard essential social spending and help secure more lasting fiscal adjustment. In view of the continued moderate risk of debt distress, Directors commended the efforts to implement a sound debt management strategy.
Directors noted that the current accommodative monetary stance is broadly appropriate, given the moderation of inflation. They encouraged the authorities to improve the liquidity management framework to strengthen the central bank's effectiveness, including through the development of short-term debt instruments and new standing facilities, which would also help to promote interbank activity. Directors welcomed the authorities' intention to use the recent SDR allocation to boost reserves, given external pressures.
Directors noted the staff's assessment that the exchange rate appears to be substantially overvalued, which could undermine medium-term external sustainability. In this context, Directors generally considered that greater exchange rate flexibility could help improve overall competitiveness and facilitate external adjustment, while noting that this should be accompanied by efforts to improve transportation infrastructure, reduce operating and borrowing costs, and streamline business regulations.
Directors welcomed the timely steps taken to strengthen banking supervision, while highlighting that credit and liquidity risks necessitate close monitoring. They encouraged banks to bring risk management controls in line with parent bank operations. Closer monitoring of the National Provident Fund would also be useful, given the recent impact of adverse global conditions on operating income.

The company intends to further develop both brands and maintain the distinct coffee flavor profiles of SBC and TI. This transaction supports Starbucks' long-term strategy to expand and build upon its leadership position in the super premium coffee segment within foodservice and grocery businesses by providing a multiple brand growth opportunity, states the company. Seattle Coffee Company has built a strong wholesale business with both the SBC and TI brands.
"Aquiring the SBC and TI brands provides us an opportunity to launch the next phase of our specialty coffee growth," said Howard Schultz, Starbucks chairman. "Both SBC and TI offer superb specialty coffees that are distinct from Starbucks flavor profiles. These brands will allow us to satisfy the desires of consumers with an affinity for the smooth flavors of SBC coffees and distinctive Italian recipes of Torrefazione Italia coffees, while focusing on expanding the demand for these types of specialty coffee."
As part of the transaction, Starbucks will acquire Seattle Coffee Company's subsidiaries, Seattle's Best Coffee LLC and Torrefazione Italia LLC, comprised of 129 company-operated and franchised Seattle's Best Coffee locations and 21 company-operated Torrefazione Italia locations in the U.S. and Canada.
"By joining Starbucks…we will be able to grow and expand our product lines into new markets and venues," said Steve Schickler, president of Seattle Coffee Company.
The $72 million all-cash stock purchase transaction is expected to close by later this summer.
The Committee has instituted a moratorium on any further certification of coffee stored at International Coffee Warehouse of Miami, Store 4, pending International's efforts to bring their Store 4 into compliance with Exchange store rules. The Committee has determined that International has 60 days to bring the warehouse into compliance with Exchange storage rules at which time the Exchange will reinspect the warehouse.

Vladimir Putin to Sign Bill Banning American Adoptions
And not because there aren't any Russian orphans left.
Putin indicated that he would endorse the measure, which is seen as part of a larger reaction by parliament against a new U.S. law calling for sanctions against Russians who commit human-rights violations. "I still don't see any reasons why I should not sign it," he said on Thursday. Well, there's the discrepancy between Russia's orphan population (740,000 children, according to UNICEF) and the number of Russian families waiting to adopt them (18,000), but apparently he's not interested in good reasons. The U.S. State Department said it "regretted" the decision.

"Million Dollar Arm" is an underdog, feel-good story, and who doesn't like one of those? Sports agent JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm) is trying to land a huge client to keep his three-person operation afloat. When it doesn't go through, he and business partner Aash (Aasif Mandvi) concoct an outlandish plan that includes recruiting cricket players from India and finding at least one who can be a Major League star.
If the plot sounds a bit farfetched, it is. But that's what gives the story heart. It takes JB out of his comfort zone, trekking all over India on the dime of a big time investor to find his "million dollar arm." There he meets up with long-time baseball scout, Ray (Alan Arkin) who adds in some grumpy old man humor. After weeks in India and multiple tryouts later, he finds two winners, Rinku (Suraj Sharma) and Dinesh (Madhur Mittal) to bring back to the States and prepare for a MLB tryout.
Rinku and Dinesh find it difficult to become accustomed to Los Angeles and get pushed to the side when JB starts to woo a big client again. JB has them set up with USC baseball coach Tom House (Bill Paxton), but there are struggles on all sides. Stressed, homesick and literally stuck in a foreign country, Rinku and Dinesh feel the pressure of what's expected of them in a short time. Fortunately, this is a happy ending kind of movie and it's not all drama. Amit (played by actor Pitobash, which according to his IMDb profile is making his Hollywood debut in "Million Dollar Arm) is the assistant that working for free due to his sheer love of baseball.
JB meets Amit in India and allows him to help with the recruiting and when back in LA, he serves as a caretaker/translator/and the go-between connecting JB to Dinesh and Rinku. He's a fun character bringing an energetic warmth to his role and really steals the show with a motivating coach's speech.
Between Amit and JB's neighbor/tenant, Brenda (Lake Bell), they help keep the boys (and JB) grounded and even allow them all to have some fun. It's nice to see Bell in a character that is more leading lady and less snarky best friend next door, although she plays that part quite nicely, too. While the chemistry is lackluster between Brenda and JB as romance starts to evolve, the feeling of family is still felt giving off that warm and fuzzy vibe.
The movie, while predictable, is entertaining and heartwarming. It's one the family can enjoy together without the need for all the special effects that will fill this summer's blockbusters. The story has substance and the characters are worth rooting for a win.
Final words: "Million Dollar Arm" should elicit plenty of cheers from the crowd.

Intellectual Development for Emerging Adult Learners
intermedia - n. the areas at which different forms of communication intersect.
To expand the value of entertainment properties and serve the needs of the education sector, we find opportunities to leverage engagement for both.
learning, flipped classrooms and massive online course offerings
bring more learners online every day. Educators have to share the
same delivery space as zombies, chefs and late-night talk-show
hosts. So when learners meet instruction on screens instead of
inside a classroom, they are asking which is better and why.
For media brands to thrive, reaching audiences at deeper levels has never been more important. The dangers of increased distribution channels can only be averted by giving the viewers more of what they love, in new ways. Fans can get more of the movie by playing the game; more of the tv show by watching the webisodes; more of the story by chatting with the characters.
Transmedia is what they call multi-platform storytelling in the entertainment industry. Intermedia takes that movement a step further to mix both form as well as function.
At I.D.E.A.L intermedia, we are shaping storyworlds that work like classrooms, but better. We create forms of media that engage learners at the same level and with the same devices as the entertainment industry, further engaging them with the brands and characters they love. With entertainment and education fighting for attention, imagine what they can accomplish together.

Luge accident
Saw this while checking for email and it raises a question: where does the boundary lay between responsible reporting of a "newsworthy" event and shoddy exploitation?
I have no difficult with the broadcast. NBC placed a warning and discussed the death before ever broadcasting the footage. Personally, I thought it was done respectfully as possible. NBC is broadcasting the Winter Games, unfortunately Nodar Kumaritashvil death is part of the story of the 2010 Winter Olympics, thus NBC had a obligation to its viewers to cover it. End of story.
To me acting like everything is just wonderful and that the Olympics were proceeding as if nothing happened would have been an greater injustices to the memory of Nodar Kumaritashvil.
The Olympic Games are a symbol of sportsmanship throughout the world, a tragedy like this should serve as a reminder that these athletics risk their own safety to entertain us and to represent their countries. Hopefully some good can come out of this be it in new safety measures or in other ways.
How many times did all three networks show Challenger disintegrating?
By their coverage (and I mean all of them) you hardly knew anything happened on United Airlines Flight 93 because they did not have the pictures.
I think in this case, the networks should consult with the family about what they'd like. Perhaps the family would like the world to be aware that there were significant safety issues on the luge course this Olympics (many lugers have crashed, leading to cries about the danger of this course), or maybe they want it out of the news as quickly as possible.
I agree with that reviewer's general assessment - showing the tape was the right choice to make - maybe not three times without warning, but showing it was important, if only to highlight the danger of the Luge track.
Many people have been injured while training on that track over the last few months (In fact, a British competitor dislocated his hip when he fell off his luge), and people have been saying that it was dangerous for months. It's just unfortunate it's taken the death of a competitor for them to alter the course.

Location: Vegetable Crops Research Unit
2013 Annual Report
The Fast-track variety evaluation process implemented by the USPB Chip Committee established a precedent for what we are proposing, and many of the project leaders and cooperators working on this proposal have participated in that process. In brief, we propose a multidisciplinary attack on the acrylamide problem that uses basic research, plant breeding, economic assessment, variety evaluation and deployment to bring varieties with low acrylamide forming potential to market. An overriding requirement for each activity is acceptance of products and practices at all levels of the potato industry including growers, processors, packers, distributors, marketers, and end users.
Research. Research is focused on establishing quantitative goals for tuber reducing sugars and asparagine in next generation potato varieties, and on identify breeding parents with high potential for meeting these goals.
Breeding. There are two essential breeding components. Making rapid improvements in potato varieties requires that we identify and validate molecular markers associated with key agronomic and tuber quality traits. These will then be used to increase the efficiency of potato breeding programs.
Economic assessment. Change may be beneficial, but is always associated with risk. We will conduct an economic analysis to estimate the value of new potato varieties and/or production methods to growers, processors and rural communities that reduce acrylamide in finished products. We will also quantify the net value and risk to industry associated with introducing new varieties and associated management practices.
Variety evaluation and deployment. We need to partner with industry to implement a coordinated, nationwide, fast-track evaluation and deployment process for varieties that reduce acrylamide in processed products. Part of this process must be rigorous field, storage and processing evaluations to gain acceptance by industry partners. Our goal is that these varieties exceed expectations for quality throughout the potato industry and consistently yield chip and processed potato products with acrylamide contents lower than current benchmarks.
During discussions with cooperating researchers and industry representatives, a need was identified for an online database of trial results from the National Fry Processor Trial. That database needed to capture and display a common set of key metrics for each clone tested. It also needed to present the information in a user-friendly format that would facilitate discussions about individual clones and aid in identifying superior clones for advancement to larger scale trials. A database meeting these criteria was developed and deployed and is currently being tested by select stakeholders prior to general release.
The amount of the simple sugars glucose and fructose in raw potato tubers is one of the most important determinants of a variety's acrylamide-forming potential. These sugars combine with the amino acid asparagine during cooking to produce acrylamide. Tuber sugar contents are under strong environmental and genetic control. Lines of potato varieties, Atlantic, Dakota Pearl, and MegaChip in which the gene primarily responsible for the formation of glucose and fructose had been turned off using molecular techniques were grown in research field plots. Harvested tubers were stored at 38 and 48°F for up to six months. At regular intervals after harvest, tubers were assayed for the expression of key genes involved in sugar accumulation and these data were related to observed tuber sugar contents. These relationships are providing novel insights into the regulation of tuber sugars, and this will allow us to define more precisely requirements for chip processing lines that produce low acrylamide products.
This research substantially completes Objective 1, Partner with industry to implement a coordinated, nationwide, fast-track evaluation and deployment of processing varieties to reduce acrylamide in processed products in the near term. This research is contributing to Objective 2, Identify and validate molecular markers associated with key agronomic and tuber quality traits that can be used to increase the efficiency of potato breeding programs, by determining relationships between acrylamide precursors and acrylamide content in finished products and by contributing data to research efforts focused on using mapping populations to develop molecular markers for acrylamide in finished products and acrylamide precursors in raw tubers. Progress on Objective 4, Establish quality criteria critical for maintenance and enhancement of end products, and Objective 7, Produce a roadmap for developing and deploying potato varieties that exceed expectations for quality throughout the potato industry and consistently yield chip and processed potato products with acrylamide contents lower than current benchmarks, is being made through ongoing discussions with multiple industry partners. Objective 8, Begin implementation of this process in cooperation with key stakeholders including growers and grower organizations, potato seed producers, processors, distributors and the food service industry has been substantially completed.

The city of Los Angeles voted last month to boycott Arizona over its crackdown on illegal immigration. There's been no shortage of politicians and commentators weighing in on the bill, despite some of them admitting to never having read it.
One of the interesting results is watching how Christians can arrive at opposite conclusions over the bill's significance. Here are a set of believers who profess the same beliefs, but arrive at completely opposite conclusions over a hot issue. Should a Christian stand behind Los Angeles and refuse to do business with Arizona or support the state in protecting the border?
Jim Wallis' popular blog, Sojourners, has been running a series of articles criticizing the law despite the comments section containing a healthy amount of support for it.
What is interesting is that both sides use biblical support for their respective positions. Wallis and his writers back up arguments using Exodus and Leviticus, which is later echoed by Christ in Matthew 25:
When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the LORD your God. [Leviticus 19:33-34]
Do not mistreat the alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in Egypt. Do not oppress an alien; you yourselves know what it feels to be aliens, because you were aliens in Egypt. [Exodus 23:9]
The assumption here is that most immigrants are harmless, hungry, hard-working, drug-free, and just looking for opportunity, while policemen are free to be racist. The new bill has now created a problem for Christians because "driving the sick to a doctor or offering shelter and food to the hungry — a direct command of our Christian faith — could be unlawful."
On the other side, supporters of the bill use the following scriptures to argue that the bill is acceptable:
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. [Romans 13:1-3]
Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king. [1 Peter 2:17]
The underlining assumption here is the opposite of Wallis' – immigrants are criminals and smugglers, not only breaking immigration law, but also breaking others after they arrive, and the police are just enforcing the law.
So which is correct? Each side has chosen to emphasize a different passage. Wallis emphasizes grace, stating it is OK to break laws if it means taking care of a stranger or reducing discrimination – a Christian directive. His opponents believe everyone should pay respect to the authorities and that they can glorify God by suffering under difficult conditions.
This is obviously a complicated issue and one that can't be resolved with a few simple words in a column. One attitude worth examining, however, can be seen in the book of Philemon. (shorter than the Arizona bill!) Both sides should embrace each other's position, like two people both begging to pay the bill after dinner. Look at Paul's letter where he is figuring out what a runaway slave should do. His answer? The slave should return to his master and the master should receive him as a brother, forgiving him of his debt, with both sides humbling themselves and doing what may be right, but also personally harmful, outdoing the other in love and respect. Perhaps the illegal immigrant should be seeking to return home as the authorities here should be begging them to stay.

Career Issues Employment Articles in Iowa
by Nan S. Russell - Nov, 2011
Personable and enthusiastic about her work, it took me months to uncover the problem. Calling Cheryl to my office for a quick question, I inquired why the information I needed wasn't in the file. "Oh," responded Cheryl, "I haven't done the filing yet." Thinking she misunderstood what I needed, I explained that what I was looking for was from four months ago. "Yeah, that filing's not done yet," she said matter-of-factly....
How Gen Y navigates time — and life
by Lindsey Pollak - Nov, 2011
I've been working with members of the Millennial Generation (those born approximately 1980 to 1995) for about 10 years now, and one of my biggest observations is that they always seem to be busy. High school and college students are shuttling between classes, sports, clubs, jobs and social engagements. Young professionals are working full-time and starting businesses on the side. And, of course, they're accomplishing all of...

Too many career ideas? It's time to piece them together!
by Hallie Crawford - Nov, 2011
This came up in one of my group career coaching calls – One of the participants, Bonnie, was asking about different ways to identify possible career paths that not only would she be interested in, but also qualified for. When most people come to me they have a list of different career ideas that on the surface look completely unrelated. But, once I start working with them and asking them why they have each idea on their lis...
Clash Points at Work – How Are the Generations Different?
by Dr. Maynard Brusman - Nov, 2011
My trusty old Toyota Camry overheated the other day. I had the car towed to my mechanic and called Enterprise Car Rental to pick me up. The driver of the pick-up van was pretty friendly so we started to talk. He's 71 years old and a retired mortician. He works full time for Enterprise. I asked him what it was like working with mostly twenty year olds. He wisely told me that everyone got along pretty well probably due to...

Mining For Your Executive Brand & Promoting ROI
by Rosa Elizabeth Vargas - Nov, 2011
What has cemented the doom of many job seekers, including executive-level leaders, is their inability (or self-destructive refusal) to wrap their minds around the idea of marketing themselves with a unique identity as if they were a product. As a "product," you must clearly articulate your executive brand, unique value proposition, and market an ROI. Yet, instead, most executives mount a precarious job search campaign wi...

LOS ANGELES - UCLA's Robin Anderson saw her impressive singles run at the Riviera/ITA All-American Championships come to an end on Saturday, as she was beaten in the semifinals by Florida's Allie Will at the nearby Riviera Country Club.
Anderson, a who was playing in just her first college tournament, suffered a 6-4, 6-1 loss to Will, who was the tournament's No. 2 seed. It marked the end to a very successful week for the Bruin freshman, who had to win three qualifying matches just to reach the main draw.
Will advances to face Arizona State's Jaqueline Cako in Sunday's final.
