Cowgirl Sophomore Stucky Out For The Season
Dec. 12, 2000
LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Wyoming Cowgirl Basketball player Carly Stucky will be out the remainder of the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament (acl) in her right knee, according to head coach Cindy Fisher.
Stucky suffered the injury last Wednesday after being fouled in a 71-66 victory over Weber State. She will undergo surgery on December 29. The Department of Athletics is also seeking a waiver to restore a year of eligibility so she would have three years remaining upon her return.
Stucky, a 5-10 guard from Pretty Prairie, Kansas, had started in the first six games for the Cowgirls this season. She was averaging 12.7 points, along with leading the team in assists (5.7 aspg) and steals (3 spg). Last season, she started in 22 of 28 games as a true freshman, and averaged 10.1 points and 3.4 assists per contest
Fisher also announced that transfer Chassie Wiersma will also undergo surgery in her right knee for the same injury as Stucky's. She suffered the injury during a Cowgirl practice a couple of weeks ago, and will have surgery on Dec. 27. Wiersma, a 5-11 guard from Central Point, Ore., is sitting out this season after transferring from Oregon State University. She will have two years of eligibilty remaining upon her return.
Both players rehabilitation should take approximately four to six
months, and they are expected to make a full and complete recovery.

Transferring a credit card balance can be a great way to simplify and save money. For people with debt on high interest credit cards, transferring the balance to a card with a low interest rate can help save some serious cash.
Why People Use Balance Transfers
Balance transfers can be helpful for people who have large amounts of debt on multiple cards. Many times, these cards may charge high interest rates as well, multiplying the debt even further. With a balance transfer credit card, people can consolidate all their debt onto one card. This makes it easier to keep track of, because they now only have 1 payment a month. Plus, by getting a low or 0% balance transfer APR, they can catch up on all of their existing debt without racking up more high interest charges.
What to Do to Transfer a Balance
In order to transfer a credit card balance, it is important to find a card with a low interest rate. Many credit cards offer an introductory 0% APR on balance transfers for a set period of time. By using one of these cards, you will not have to pay any interest on balance transfers until that time is over. Find out the terms and conditions of the balance transfer: what the card's credit limit is, the interest rate on balance transfers, and if there is a balance transfer fee. You can then decide on a balance transfer card with favorable terms for you. Once you have the card, you'll be able to consolidate all your debt and work on paying down the balances without stacking up more interest debts!

One of those major differences is that infants are baptized, confirmed, and communicated at birth. My husband, as I've mentioned before, received all three Sacraments of Initiation during that first month of life, and as he grew up alongside his fellow Catholic friends, he did not follow the same calendar for First Holy Communion and Confirmation.
But only one of our children is receiving Holy Communion at this time. The younger three are too young according to western tradition, and my oldest is in the process of conversion and will probably be received into the Church next Easter.
So what do we do tomorrow at the Divine Liturgy? Do they receive a blessing? Do they stay in their seats? I tried to reach the priest to no avail, so I emailed my friend instead, a lifelong Byzantine, who enthusiastically responded that they can receive Communion if they've been baptized. We're Catholic, after all.
We have opted not to take her up on the invitation~~first of all, the Grandparents would kill me if they weren't here! Secondly, the baptized six-year-olds are old enough to know that they haven't formally prepared for this. Not quite at the "age of reason," they still have formidable powers of understanding and awareness and witnessed their older brother go through a time of preparation last year. Thirdly, I'd still feel more comfortable talking with a priest about it first, no offense to my friend.
But this has me thinking about east versus west. When I first found out that my eight year old would be receiving Baptism, Holy Communion, and Confirmation all at the same time at that young age, I felt a wave of disappointment wash over me. I immediately started to pray about it, because I try to do that before wallowing in my emotions too long. I had always heard from my husband about how he was different than the other kids because of his early reception of the Sacraments. I didn't want my son to be different too.
Then God said something exceedingly brilliant as always:
"It is good to receive the Sacraments."
I also had an awareness of how much spiritual protection this had afforded my husband throughout the years of his upbringing, during which he experienced several near-deaths and managed to survive them all.
Secondly, if we believe what we say, which is that we receive the Body and Blood of Christ, and if we baptize our children into our faith (I've written about infant baptism here), it strikes me as odd (or maybe somewhat arbitrary) that we don't fully initiate them into the faith as infants. We are not worthy to receive Christ at ANY point in our fallen state...only by His grace do we have that immeasurable blessing to stand in His presence and receive His Body and Blood. Only by receiving the Sacraments do we grow in that grace, so why deny our children the reality of these Sacraments? The Sacraments don't rely on our own will in order to "work," be valid, or have effect.
I have so longed for my oldest to at least be baptized. How can he grow in his spiritual understanding of the Lord without that basic step? Once again, the Lord corrects me...He IS preparing my son, He has called Him to His Church and that's happening even now...it's that mystery that, while we choose, we are also called. We feel so in charge of our faith life, and yet God is the one who initiates that intimacy with us. That was the other message He got across back when I was first praying about this. Even though it seems routine that children receive Sacraments at a certain age, it very much is in His hands...He is forming each one.
There is no "routine" in God.

College Hockey:Pioneers End Lakers' Streak
Mercyhurst Suffers First MAAC Loss This Season
ERIE, Pa. — The Sacred Heart Pioneers scored four third-period goals to break open a tight game and defeat Mercyhurst 5-0 Saturday night at the Mercyhurst Ice Center. The win snapped the Lakers' 26-game unbeaten streak in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, dating back to last season. Sacred Heart defeated Mercyhurst 5-3 last March, the last game of the regular season.
Mercyhurst then went on to win three straight games in the playoffs to win the MAAC championship, then went 20-0-3 in the conference this season before the Pioneers halted the streak. Mercyhurst's overall unbeaten streak of 13 games (12-0-1) was also snapped.
After a scoreless first period, Sacred Heart cashed a power-play opportunity at 14:28 of the second when junior defenseman Les Hrapchak beat Mercyhurst netminder Peter Aubry just five seconds into the man advantage.
It was all Sacred Heart in the third. Sophomore forward Marc-Andre Fournier tallied just 55 seconds into make it 2-0. Junior forward Martin Paquet scored at 7:51 while senior forwards Chris Mokos and Lloyd Marks scored 1:27 apart midway through the period to complete the scoring.
Sacred Heart junior goaltender Eddy Ferhi stopped 32 Mercyhurst shots to up his record to 12-11-4. Aubry stopped 29 of 34 in taking his sixth loss of the season and first in the MAAC. Aubry is now 17-6-2 overall and 17-1-0 in the conference.
Sacred Heart was penalized six times for 20 minutes while the Lakers were tagged five times for 10. Mercyhurst had its share of scoring chances throughout the game, including a two-man advantage for 50 seconds early in the first period, but could not solve Ferhi.

Emellaich - Good idea
Emellaich, great idea for your guide. I'd be happy to assist you. Email me (mark coker) at first initial last initial at smashwords dot com. I've written a couple guides for the authors at Smashwords that address some of these issues, including formats, DRM and marketing. I wrote these two free ebooks:
The Smashwords Style Guide
- It's written for authors publishing on Smashwords, but the tips help you create a clean source document you can use elsewhere. Contains a summary of several ebook formats, and some of the pros and cons of each.
The Smashwords Book Marketing Guide
- This too is written for Smashwords authors, but the marketing ideas apply to any author, even print authors. We recommend Mobileread in the Guide (we recommend authors join and participate in this community, not just come here to flog books).
Let me know how I can help!

I foresee the following arrangement:
First, an intro to ebook publishing that introduces the key concepts and links to separate pages that then explain:
1) Different formats for ebooks and the tradeoffs
2) How to convert between formats: Calibre, Sigil, and more
3) DRM and the problems of using it
4) Web sites that accept self-published books; the pro's and con's of each and where to go to submit books.
5) Options for setting up your own store using your own web site and paypal or ebay or google checkout????
6) Marketing your ebook including does and don'ts on Mobileread
When people post a Kindle only ebook they can be linked to the guide to publishing.
Alternatively, maybe its a business opportunity? You could offer a flat rate fee service or a percentage of sales to convert, submit, and market their book(s) in different places and different formats?

Down 17 points with just over five minutes left in the final quarter, the Los Angeles Clippers mounted a comeback that many felt would not be possible.
The Clippers determination, patient play, and solid defense propelled them to a 129-127 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.
J.J. Redick finished with a career high 33 points, and Blake Griffin had 23 points and 7 rebounds.
The Mavs kept Griffin scoreless for over six minutes in the opening quarter, yet had no answer for the hot hand of Redick in the first quarter.
The Clippers lost focus in the third quarter after leading 100-91, the Mavs went on an impressive 15-0 into the fourth quarter. Matt Barnes split the defense down the middle for the basket that ended the run.
Down by 17 points, the Clippers looked done, and the Mavs would look to be victorious.
The referee's prevented an altercation when both Griffin and Samuel Dalembert fought to grab the rebound under the basket. The two players were immediately separated as Griffin and Dalembert were jawing with each other. Dalembert was assessed a technical foul, which Griffin made. The Clippers received the ball and Griffin knocked down a shot and trailed the Mavs 125-118.
"Some calls were suspicious, and it was just one of those games. So many things happened in those seven minutes", said Dalembert.
Down by nine, Barnes hit a clutch three pointer, then Jamal Crawford who struggled most of the night was fouled by Dirk Norwitzki. Crawford made two of three free throws bringing the Clippers within four, 127-123 with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter.
Redick who was relatively quiet in the second half emerged again, with a huge three pointer with 33 seconds left as the Clippers trailed 127-126. Crawford was fouled and made two free throws. After hot shooter Jose Calderon missed a crucial three pointer, DeAndre Jordan grabbed the rebound and was fouled. Jordan made one of two that gave the Clippers a nice lead, and would force the Mavs to shoot a three for the win.
DeJuan Blair attempted to inbound the ball, but was quickly stolen by Jordan who held on for the win.
Dirk Norwitzki scored 27 points and Samuel Dalembert added 20 points in the loss.
The Mavs blew a 17 point lead, and the Norwitzki was dumbfounded at what happened.
"There's no way we should lose this game," Nowitzki said. "We've got to do a better job of protecting a lead. We made some bad decisions and gave up some 3s."
The key to the Clippers victory according to Blake Griffin, "We just locked in. We made the plays down the stretch, they tightened up and got a little too comfortable."
The Clippers begin their seven game Grammy road trip on Friday in New York against the Knicks.

And now these clowns. I was all for them staying around, and if they get results, great. But they went youth, youth, youth, and its looking more and more like Wannstache's team in its philosophy.

And once Steve fired them*, I was figuring that all bets were off. Frankly, he should have gone ahead and fired Sparano. Instead we're likely to see a lackluster effort and him fired in a year.

You and others need to stop wanting and calling for change so easily after a bad season.

Everybody wants someone fired; everybody wants a New QB...

And when it happens two years later they want someone fired they want a new QB, they look at the other teams and say why can't Miami be like them? They look at a relative unknown Draft pick that turns out to be a great player In the NFL and they say in hindsight "Why didn't Miami pick that guy?

I am frustrated with the fans and the Media more than the owners. But both are the blame for the lack of stability in Management.....

Many wanted Tony & Jeff Fired, they ran Cam Cameron out of town, they ran JJ out of town, and they ran Nick Saban out of town.

No wonder this team is a mess………..

Good or bad stick with a management team for at least 6-10 Years and they can probably get what we all was a consistent contender…..markeyhhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20955632.post-91375859550714870542011-04-11T15:30:52.458-04:002011-04-11T15:30:52.458-04:00Have you thought of becoming a packers Fan?Have you thought of becoming a packers Fan?markeyhhttp://email@example.com

When the Nasher Sculpture Center began leaking light in September, director Jeremy Strick didn't immediately grasp the gravity of the situation. In the lobby near the cash register, just a few small splotches of light splashed across a travertine wall.
The leak should have been impossible. The Nasher was designed by Renzo Piano, arguably the world's greatest modernist architect, a man famous for reinventing the roof. For the Nasher, he created an ingenious system composed of two parts: a barrel-vaulted roof-cum-ceiling made of 3-inch-thick, 1,200-pound glass panels and, suspended above the glass, a sunscreen of millions of tiny aluminum oculi aimed due north. The sunscreen was designed using the precise longitude and latitude of the Nasher, and it accounts for every hour of the Earth's 365-day trip around the Sun. Standing in the gallery, a visitor looking up and to the south sees what appears to be a solid structure through the glass ceiling. Turning 180 degrees and looking north, though, he sees open sky. The system allows into the museum soft, full-spectrum light that is not only safe for artwork but creates ideal, transcendent viewing conditions. The roof system is patented, and Ray Nasher, who died in 2007, considered it part of the art collection that he gave to Dallas.
Strick saw the light hitting the lobby wall and looked north. Instead of open sky, he saw the new Museum Tower, where construction workers were installing glass panels on the lower levels of the 42-story building. Sunlight was reflecting off that glass and penetrating Piano's roof. Nasher staffers took pictures of the light splotches and talked among themselves about whether they might affect an upcoming exhibit, but no one was ready to sound the alarm.
Then, on a Monday late in the month, the situation turned dire. Workers across the street had been busy over the weekend, having installed glass up to the 23rd floor. Around 2 o'clock, the Sun swung into position and left Strick speechless. Harsh reflections off Museum Tower now flooded the gallery, casting shadows off Rodin's The Age of Bronze and endangering paintings. A canvas by Picasso, Nude Man and Woman, had to be moved immediately.
Strick called Dan Boeckman, one of Museum Tower's four developers. Over the months of construction, Strick had called Boeckman a few times to complain about minor nuisances, trash or cement slurry, for instance, finding its way from the construction site to the Nasher's garden.
"Jeremy, I don't know if I want to take your calls," Boeckman said playfully.
"This one is really serious," Strick said.
In the following months, the problem grew more serious. As Museum Tower's glass facade expanded, its reflections began to cook plants in the Nasher's garden. A study commissioned by the Nasher shows that reflected light is affecting not just the Nasher but also the Dallas Museum of Art, Hunt Oil Tower, and the soon-to-open Klyde Warren Park over Woodall Rodgers. The first two have dealt with the assault by drawing blinds; it remains to be seen how the park, which is closer to Museum Tower, will fare.
How did this happen? How could someone build a $200 million project in the Arts District that is in the process of destroying the very museum it uses in its marketing materials to sell million-dollar condos? Did no one stop to think?
"When you build a tower, you have to be careful about what you do, especially if around you, you have a park," Renzo Piano says. He is known for his polite, unassuming manner, but on the phone from his Paris office, Piano approaches his version of rage. "You know, it's absolutely insane. This is the Arts District. You cannot put in danger a jewel like this. I'm not talking about a jewel in terms of architecture. I'm talking about an institution, a jewel in terms of community life, in terms of quality of life in the town. This is not a private matter. This is the public interest."
And therein lies the richest irony. Not only is Museum Tower destroying a museum, but we the public are paying to do it.
Graham Greene foresaw the reflectivity problem more than a decade before Museum Tower broke ground—in fact, even before the Nasher broke ground. In 1998, he sold a parcel of land in the Arts District to a developer named John Sughrue. Knowing that Sughrue and his three partners planned to build a tower of some sort, Greene had him sign, as a condition of the sale, a covenant designed to protect the tower's neighbors. The specific buyer didn't worry Greene. Sughrue is a well-respected Boston guy who went to Harvard and did real estate deals for Merrill Lynch in New York before moving to Dallas and eventually starting his own development and investment firm, Brook Partners. It's just that Greene is an architect, and architects are always thinking about light. The covenant set a limit on how mirrorlike the glass on Sughrue's building could be in areas where it would reflect sunlight directly on the Meyerson Symphony Center on one side and the nascent Nasher on the other.
Rick del Monte foresaw the reflectivity problem, too. Shortly after Sughrue bought the land, he hired del Monte, a managing partner at The Beck Group, to design Museum Tower. By 1999, del Monte had envisioned a tower with 22 floors, about half the building's current height. But even putting up 22 stories gave del Monte pause.
"What scared me was, I was looking at this thing and saying, 'We're reflecting.' There's no way to avoid that with a glass building," says del Monte, who sought Sughrue's permission before speaking to D Magazine on the record. "When it's 100 degrees outside and we're reflecting sunlight straight down into the garden, that's not going to be a pleasant experience. I was scared. Am I going to put light in there and ruin that roof?"
Two years after del Monte came up with his Museum Tower design, he helped break ground on another high-profile project nearby: the Nasher Sculpture Center. Del Monte says his collaboration with Piano on the museum heightened his sensitivity to any impact Museum Tower might have on the museum. In fact, he had his firm do a light reflectivity study to see what his 22-story building would do to the Nasher.
"It wasn't the most sophisticated study," he says, "but it doesn't take a lot of sophistication."
Del Monte need not have worried about how his building would affect the Nasher. As the four co-developers—Sughrue and Lyle Burgin from Brook Partners, and Boeckman and Greg Greene from Turtle Creek Holdings—hustled to secure financing and repeatedly called for changes to the building's design, the friction became too much for del Monte. "The partnership and I finally reached a difference of opinion on which way the project should go," del Monte says. "I said, 'Go find an architect that you trust.' " Del Monte never showed his light study to Sughrue.
As the four partners struggled to get the building out of the ground, the economic tide turned against them. An announced 2007 groundbreaking had to be quietly canceled when the country plunged into the Great Recession and traditional construction loans dried up—especially for a condo project in an area (downtown, Uptown, Victory Park) that had already spawned nearly 1,800 condo units in the previous decade. But then, seemingly out of nowhere, a savior came to the rescue. The Dallas Police & Fire Pension System, which had earlier made a small investment in the Museum Tower project, announced that it would jump in with both feet and finance the entire thing, all $200 million of it.
The police and fire fund is a $3.24 billion juggernaut that makes all manner of investments all over the world. It has approximately 9,000 participants, meaning cops and firefighters, 3,500 of whom are retired and drawing benefits. The fund's 12-member board includes four city councilmen, but otherwise the fund's managers operate independently of the city of Dallas, which every year contributes to the fund 27.5 percent of every cop and firefighter's salary. In 2010, that amounted to $108 million in taxpayer funds.
In April, the New York Times published a story titled "Pensions Find Riskier Funds Fail To Pay Off," the gist of which was that public pension funds have been taking bigger risks with their investments as they chase higher returns to make up for looming shortfalls. The story was accompanied by a chart showing which pension funds in the country are taking the biggest risks, placing a higher percentage of their assets in alternative investments like private equity, hedge funds, and real estate. The Dallas police and fire fund topped that chart, with 56.3 percent of its assets committed to riskier investments. (On a percentage basis, the fund also pays some of the highest management fees in the industry, spending, for example, 20 times what the Texas Municipal Retirement System spends. And Texas Municipal produced a much higher rate of return over the last five years—7.6 percent compared with 4.3 percent—without committing a single dollar to the same risky investments.)
The police and fire fund's investment in Museum Tower raised eyebrows across the country, and in June 2010, the Wall Street Journal ran a lengthy story about it. Jim Neil, a real estate investment banker with Churchill Capital Company, worked on behalf of the police and fire fund to find a bank brave enough to make the loan. Asked to describe that loan, Neil says: "It was a very unusual deal at a very unusual time."
No one is in a better position than Richard Tettamant to explain how the deal got done. He has worked at the Dallas Police & Fire Pension System for 30 years, rising to administrator, the fund's top executive. Tettamant is a large, affable man with a mustache that's going gray. When I ask about the $200 million investment, he wants to know where I got the dollar figure. I tell him I saw it in the paper.
"They don't have a clue," he says, leaning back in his chair at a large conference table in the police and fire fund's modern office. "Okay, the total construction budget for the tower is about $200 million, but we haven't invested $200 million. The Morning News has had it wrong every time they've reported it."
When I ask how much the fund does have invested, he says $100,000. I repeat the figure to make sure I heard it correctly.
"That's all we have spent," he says slowly, deliberately. "The bank that we borrowed the money from is financing the tower."
For a second, I become disoriented and feel like I'm in a scene from Nineteen Eighty-Four. Tettamant is duckspeaking doubleplusgood about how the fund borrowed money and yet still got the bank to pay for the building. So I ask him: who is on the hook if the project fails?
"Oh, the Dallas Police & Fire Pension System," he says.
When the police and fire fund got involved, the Museum Tower project changed in two important ways. First, with an earlier commitment of $32 million, the fund pushed Sughrue and his partners to super-size the tower, doubling the height and cost of Rick del Monte's initial design. This was not a business decision, Tettamant says; it was strictly an aesthetic one.
"What we said was, 'We need a piece of artwork to be in the Arts District. We need that building to look like something people will appreciate and love,' " he says, never once mentioning the increased risk.
When it took charge, the police and fire fund brought in a consultant from California named Bill Criswell. It was a homecoming of sorts. Criswell and his wife, Sheri, moved to Dallas in 1974 and once had seats at the head table of the real estate party. Their firm, Criswell Development Company, tapped high-net-worth private investors who lived overseas to build Hyatt Regency hotels in Austin, Denver, and Houston, and The Regency Center and Spectrum Center in Dallas. Those projects flourished.
But then came his biggest deal, the I.M. Pei-designed Allied Bank Tower at Fountain Place. Like Museum Tower, it was an iconic, skyline-defining project. The 60-story tower opened in October 1986, just in time for the S&L crisis, and it sank into foreclosure six months later. Sole owners of the project, the Criswells sunk with it, losing the hotels and office buildings in which they'd retained ownership stakes. Criswell says he spent the next five years negotiating workouts on his properties, limiting his lenders' losses as best he could. At the end of
the process, Criswell was left flat broke, bankrupt.He's an optimist, though. Sitting in the Museum Tower sales office, with orange-hard-hatted construction workers passing the windows that overlook the Museum Tower construction site across Flora Street, Criswell is wearing a crisp blue blazer and a respectable combover. He says he's proud that Fountain Place was a successful financial project. I point out that it was successful for the second owners.
Criswell laughs and agrees. "Look," he says, "I got hit by a tidal wave." In other words, he couldn't have foreseen the Texas real estate crash.
I point out that a search of his name brings up a series of troubled deals around the world. There was the complicated scheme in Puerto Rico that involved the issuance of government bonds and a mysterious loan that never materialized from professional golfer Chi Chi Rodriguez. The deal ended up in court. There was the Four Seasons hotel in Dublin, Ireland, that ran tens of millions over budget and went into receivership.
In each instance, Criswell tries to set the record straight. The Four Seasons in Ireland, for example, was a successful project. He says 97 percent of the capital came from large Irish banks, the remaining 3 percent from wealthy private investors insulated from losses by a loophole in Irish law. "The investors did really well," he says. "The banks did not do well. The economy turned sour, and everything in Ireland turned to goo."
People have told Criswell that he ought to clean up some of the untruths about him floating around on the internet. "I've never found that it's a particularly valuable thing to do," he says. His development and consulting firm, Criswell Radovan, doesn't have a website. "Anybody who wants to know the truth, I'm happy to talk to them. And I'm happy to give them references."
Tettamant met Criswell seven years ago when the police and fire fund invested $35 million with Criswell Radovan in two related Napa Valley projects, Aetna Springs and Lake Luciana. Criswell wanted to build a golf course. As it turned out, he wanted to build it on land that is preserved for agricultural use. The matter wound up in court.
In any case, what Tettamant knew with certainty was that if Criswell could build the acclaimed Fountain Place, then he could help out the police and fire fund with Museum Tower. He hired Criswell as a consultant in 2006. At the time, the police and fire fund had only about $30 million committed to the deal. So the first big change to the project was that it grew taller and more expensive.
"The fund was disappointed with the direction under Sughrue," Criswell says. "Their designs didn't recognize the significance of the site. I think the people who are involved will tell you that they were trying to be modest, and they didn't want to, you know, do something that might show up the other great Pritzker award-winning people and all that stuff."
Criswell brought onboard Scott Johnson, a Los Angeles-based architect. The two had been introduced in Napa by Michael Mondavi, for whom Johnson built the Opus One winery. Johnson built a clubhouse for Criswell at the historic Aetna Springs golf course. And he designed the Museum Tower we see today.
Remember the covenant that Graham Greene had Sughrue sign when he bought the dirt under Museum Tower, the covenant that limited the reflectivity of the glass? That covenant expired in 2008, a little more than a year after Ray Nasher died and just as the police and fire fund was pouring more money into the Museum Tower project to make it bigger. The glass that towers 42 stories today is 200 percent more reflective than would have been allowed by that covenant. It remains unclear whether Johnson ever did a light and heat study. Neither he nor his local architect partners, the firm Gromatzky Dupree & Associates, returned phone calls or email. Neither Tettamant nor Criswell could say whether a study had been done.
The second big change to the project came in 2010 when the police and fire fund financed—or, if you prefer, got the bank to finance—the full $200 million cost of construction. At that point, the fund took full control of Museum Tower from Sughrue and his partners. The four men were relegated to service contracts to develop the project (manage sales, oversee contractors, etc.) and had their equity returned to them, but they had to report to Criswell, who assumed the role of owner's representative, the man in charge of the project.
"No developer ever wants to cede control of a project," Sughrue says, choosing his words carefully. "That's not how we're wired. It's not why we're in this business. But at the time, we as a development group did what it took to protect the initial investment of all those involved and the vision that some day there'd be an extraordinary building that we'd be proud to call Museum Tower."
When I ask him how he feels now, looking back at the decision to hand over control of Museum Tower to Criswell and the police and fire fund, he lets the question hang in the air for 10 seconds. Then he offers a one-word answer: "Heartbroken."
After Jeremy Strick told the people at Museum Tower that he had a serious problem with light blazing into the Nasher's galleries, the two sides began a series of meetings in the museum's boardroom. It's an airy space with white oak floors. One entire wall is glass, providing a view of the garden.
Members of the original group of Museum Tower developers came to the first two meetings, where nothing much got accomplished. "We felt that we needed action," Strick says. "And we realized that they hadn't addressed the essential issue and that that group wasn't going to, that other people had to be engaged."
Strick emailed Boeckman with his concerns, and Boeckman told him that the ball was in Johnson's court, and he hadn't heard from the architect yet. Strick knows Johnson personally. Before arriving at the Nasher, Strick was the director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles for nine years. Their kids went to school together. So Strick called Johnson. "No, I'm not working on it," Johnson said. "I always assumed I would. I'd better get to Dallas and look at this in person."
At the third meeting, in November, as matters grew more serious, only one of the original developers attended. In place of the other developers, Tettamant, Criswell, and an attorney for the police and fire fund came to the meeting. Scott Johnson flew in for it. David Haemisegger was at the table. He is Ray Nasher's son-in-law, president of the museum's board, and president of NorthPark Management Company. Haemisegger had met Tettamant six years earlier, when the police and fire fund made a short-term loan to NorthPark for its expansion.
After Haemisegger made introductory remarks, Tettamant said, "I'd like to know what you can do from your side."
"It surprised me," Strick says of Tettamant's opening line. "We were talking about one of the great buildings in the world. To immediately suggest that we change it seemed to me that he did not appreciate what was at stake."
Strick's mood did not improve when, later in the meeting, Criswell said the problem could be remedied if the Nasher would grow some tall trees.
The two sides eventually agreed to commission their own light and heat studies and to meet when they were finished. Museum Tower hired RWDI, out of Canada, and the Nasher hired Arup, the London-based engineering firm that worked with Piano to design the Nasher's aluminum sunscreen.
On March 7, the two sides again gathered in the Nasher's boardroom. This time, none of the original developers was present. Johnson introduced Museum Tower's report and turned over the meeting to an RWDI engineer on speakerphone from Vancouver. The engineer walked everyone through Museum Tower's report, which offered findings that diverged wildly from the Nasher's.
The Nasher's computer modeling found that the reflectivity of the glass creates patches of radiation that are 150 percent more intense than normal direct sunlight. Imagine the Sun growing to two and a half times its size. Direct measurements taken on a cloudless, 78-degree March day showed that the reflected light raised the lawn's temperature to 103 degrees. For most plants, 115 degrees is lethal. Even at much lower temperatures, they can sustain damage if temperatures fluctuate too quickly for them to adjust. The direct measurements were taken after the March 7 meeting, but the Nasher's report based just on computer modeling was clear: the year-round reflections posed a threat to both the galleries and the garden. To a lesser extent, they affect other parts of the Arts District. And, given the size of the garden and the special nature of Piano's roof, there was no viable solution at the Nasher for the problem.
The Museum Tower report, on the other hand, said that the increase in radiation would be less than 25 percent, only a sixth of the Nasher's predicted gain. The report concluded that to stop light from ruining the galleries, the Nasher should install "shading devices." The report did not make a recommendation for the garden because it predicted that any impact would be minor.
The reason for the differing conclusions? RWDI used the wrong data. Museum Tower's glass is 300 times more reflective than the glass RWDI plugged into its computer model.
Tettamant and Criswell would later say that the mistake happened because theirs was a draft report, but each of the report's 15 pages is labeled "final report."
In the Nasher boardroom, the meeting grew tense when the Arup engineer presented the Nasher's suggested slate of fixes, each of which involved altering Museum Tower. With both sides agreeing that a reglazing or replacement of the windows wouldn't do the trick, the Nasher recommended affixing a brise soleil, a system of shading louvers or a skin that would extend beyond the glass facade.
"That would be a building," Johnson said, "but that's not our building."
Vel Hawes, the owner's representative who worked with Ray Nasher to build the museum, spoke up: "Excuse me, but you're saying we should change our roof. That's not our building."
At some point, Strick had had enough. He pushed back his chair and stood up. "As far as we're concerned, you guys created the problem," he said. Strick is a soft-spoken man of enormous restraint. He'd clearly hit the breaking point. "It's your problem to fix. We're not going to touch our building. We're not going to study a solution on our side. That's the end of the discussion."
The other seven people remained seated. An awkward silence filled the room. Then Criswell broke it.
"Jeremy, we all agreed we were going to study these things," he said. "One of the things that may come out of the study is that the design of those cones [the north-facing oculi] may have inadvertently or in some other way, you know, turned out to actually have reflections
coming in when Renzo sold you a bill of goods that said it wouldn't."
That's how Criswell remembers the exchange weeks later, when he describes it to me, unprompted. He is clearly proud that he stood up to Strick, a man who, he says, isn't accustomed to having people talk back. And he's proud that he insulted Renzo Piano.
How, then, does this game of chicken play out? More than one person with enough experience to speculate has told me that a fix on the Museum Tower side, a brise soleil, or re-skinning of the building, could cost $20 million.
I asked Fred Kent about that figure. He's the founder of a 32-year-old New York City nonprofit called the Project for Public Spaces. The
New York Times called him "an urban anthropologist and space doctor." Kent is helping the Bass family reimagine Sundance Square in Fort Worth, and he travels through Dallas every few weeks.
"Twenty million?" he says. "That's fine. When you look at it in the public realm, the capital spent by a city around places that are important, that's a sacred value. To go against that is a crime."
If it is a crime, how culpable is the city of Dallas for allowing it to occur? Legally, the city may have no liability. The police and fire fund is a separate entity. Observers may question, however, why a succession of City Councils has allowed the fund to become the riskiest in the nation without publicly calling to account its management and its protocols. Now one of that fund's investments—made riskier by increasing its height and cost—could well damage irreparably two of the city's prized private donations, the Nasher and Warren Park. The total investment in the Arts District by private individuals, including Ray Nasher and Kelcy Warren, exceeds $500 million.
The controversy surrounding the fund's management of Museum Tower—whose name has become a standing irony—is unlikely to aid in its success as an investment. So far, 16 units out of approximately 100 have been sold. The most likely purchasers of units are art lovers who want to be in the center of a bustling Arts District. The stigma of harming the Nasher and the park might be repellent to the very people who are needed to recoup the fund's investment. And that raises another question. Will the city be left with a nearly empty white elephant in the very heart of the district?
"The idea of Ray Nasher to make in the center of the city—in the center, not out in the country, in the center—to make a jewel, a place of wonder, a place of joy, a place of beauty, this is a great idea," Renzo Piano says.
"I kept making a joke with Ray. I kept telling him, 'Ray, this is a mad idea.' Of course, I used the word 'mad' in a positive sense. It's the right kind of madness. It was a generous and great idea. Right there, right there in the middle of city life. This is where art should be. This is where beauty must be. Right there in the center of the city, absolutely unexpected, creating a sense of surprise."
The surprise, as it turns out, is the glaring light and searing heat generated by the power of two and a half Suns.

According to Rolling Stone, The Black Keys have released a five-minute video in which they prank call the A&R departments at Nonesuch and Atlantic Records - just before the release of their next album, Turn Blue.
Stifling their laughs as they call back repeatedly, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney plead with the suits to listen to their new-age band, Quartzazium. They ask one exec to take a helicopter to Newport News at one point – before then telling another they're bringing their PA and lighting rig to the label's office.
Listen to the prank call....
Turn Blue is set to come out on May 13, a few days after they appear as the musical guests on Saturday Night Live. The pair recorded the album in Los Angeles, Michigan and Nashville with co-producer Danger Mouse. "We were sort of making a headphone record," Auerbach told Rolling Stone in April.
Drummer Patrick Carney added, "It pays off to listen more than once."

How To Become A Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse
Defining What Exactly Physical Rehabilitation Is All About
June 27th, 2016
Every Day Applications Of Physical Medicine Rehabilitation
Many people in their lives will experience some time of injury or require surgery which leaves us disabled or weak in some fashion. To recover from these injuries our muscles need to rebuild their strength and conditioning and this is where physical rehabilitation therapy comes into play. Rehabilitation is a focus on strengthening weak muscles to help regain flexibility and muscle tone so that some one can recover from an injury quicker and return to their normal lives.
Depending on the seriousness of the injury, the level of physical rehabilitation required may vary. For example, someone has recently broken their arm may need to slowly rebuild strengthen in the muscles that had not been used over a long period of time. Physical rehabilitation may only require small exercises which will help slowly wake up the muscles. On the hand, if someone recently had a major surgery such as a replacement of a hip or knee physical rehabilitation therapy can take months to help regain strength and flexibility so that the patient can return to their normal lives.
Common Goals
Return muscles to original state: Physical rehabilitation focuses on returning normal use back to the patient. Those in need of physical rehabilitation are patience who have lost normal day to day use of a limb are in need of assistance to help return to normal.
Build strength and flexibility: The process of physical rehabilitation involves the working of the injured or recovering part of the body to slowly build strength back. In addition, muscles that have not been used for a period of time need to be stretched and loosened. Physical rehabilitation focuses on building your muscle mass back so that you can complete your normal day to day tasks as well as stretching them out as to avoid future injuries.
Treat the patient. Rehabilitation can require both the actual working of the muscle as well as the treatment of the pain the patient is feeling by prescription of physical medicine rehabilitation.
Human bodies are an amazing thing and require all parts to work in order for us to function. When injured, we need to look to physical rehabilitation to return our bodies to the original state in order to truly be healed of an injury. Without physical rehabilitation injuries can take twice if not longer to heal and recover as injuries can keep returning if not treated properly with the use of physical rehabilitation.

Sneak peek pics of Friday's Degrassi!Posted on 10/19/2010 by Mary
Sneak peek pics of what's to come on this Friday's Degrassi! Check 'em out...
So... what exactly happened last Friday between Declan and Holly J... and what will it mean for each of them?
And looks like Eli's not sure if Clare is still the same girl he fell for...
Click here for more sneak peek pics from Friday's Degrassi, "Love Lockdown, pt. 2".
Sneak peek of tomorrow's Degrassi!Posted on 10/14/2010 by Mary
Look who's back... and he seems just EVER-so-delighted that Holly J is dating Sav.
And someone else is back toooooo....
Click here to check out a bunch more sneak peek pics from tomorrow's new Degrassi!
Or come watch the first scene!
OMG: RIP Dolly J??Posted on 08/05/2010 by Mary
Or are they just on a break? Do you think it's permanent?
Holly seemed kind of over it all... maybe the long distance thing was too much. Or maybe the girls at prep school made Declan forget how independent a girl like Holly J is, and he crossed some lines.
Your thoughts? Here's the scene again, if you are a glutton for waterworks...
...and here's a pic of them in happier times.
Thursday Night: Look Who's Back!!Posted on 08/04/2010 by Mary
HMM. Surprise visit! Interesting!
Do you guys think he cheated? Think he and Holly J will stay broken up or stay on the love train (or at least the LDR train)?
Degrassi Breakdown: "Keep on Loving You"Posted on 05/21/2010 by Mary
SPOILERS BELOOOOOOOOOW if you haven't watched the Degrassi season finale yet but everyone else... let's bond.
1) Yo. This might have been hormonal but... I cried. Every time Declan and Holly J looked at each other and you could tell how much they genuinely love each other... I died inside. I love love. Anyone else a sop like me?
2) Also, score one for Holly J for teaching us all what a little patience and flexibility can do in a relationship -- I totally thought this was headed in a "Holly J is going to get her heart trampled" direction and instead, it was "Holly J is going to get what she wants by being tender, instead of being a hard-ass." What did you think was going to happen?
3) How much would it freak you out if your bf/gf had to kiss someone else for a play? 'Cause I feel like it wouldn't bother me in the slightest, but maybe that's 'cause I've never had to actually see it happen.
4) How many "L bombs" have you dropped -- in a relationship situation, not a friends one. And how did it go?
5) Regardless of how you feel about Jenna, you gotta admit she can sing, right?
6) Dude. Chantay probably did already have the germs. That's what I was thinking too!
7) Uhh... did anyone see that Shark in the Water video? The carnival? With all the Degrassi people? Interesting.

Bucknell's Cameron Ayers
Nov. 17, 2012
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Bucknell continued its fast start to the season with a 62-49 win over New Mexico State on Saturday in the 2K Sports Classic subregional in Niagara Falls, N.Y.
Mike Muscala led the way again, just missing his fourth straight double-double but finishing with 24 points and nine rebounds in the victory. Bryson Johnson added 11 points while Joe Willman scored 10 as the Bison took the lead for good with a 14-0 run early in the first half and pulled away midway through the second half to hold a double-digit lead for the last six minutes. The Bison made 24-of-49 shots in the game while holding the defending Western Athletic Conference champion Aggies to 14-of-48 from the field.
Colgate fell to host Elon 81-72 in the opener of an EA Sports Maui Invitational subregional. The Raiders cut a 20-point deficit to seven but could not get any closer. Four players scored in double figures, as Murphy Burnatowski had 18 points, Mitch Rolls and Damon Sherman-Newsome had 13 and Pat Moore scored 10.
Tournament action continues for the Bison and Raiders on Saturday, as Bucknell faces off with West Alabama and Colgate takes on Coppin State. Lafayette is at Morehead State as it continues to compete in the Barclays Center Classic, and Navy heads to UAB.

A right turn. Canadian; the stereotype of Newfoundlanders is stupidity. Cf. Polish joke in the US, Portuguese in Brazil.
As we approached the corner, he said "Newfie left, eh," so I turned right.

RACHEL OLDING THERE is a hint of what's to come at a My Bloody Valentine gig when free earplugs are being handed out at the door.
Reviewed by the Crime Reporter, classic
Can SMH please stop using the crime reporter to review anything remotely to do with music? She has done this before and it is embarrasing for everyone, mostly us readers. Stick to covering disputed speeding fines at the local court Rachel.
I thought it was a 4.5/5. The only thing problem was Kevin Shield's vocals needed to be higher in the mix. And the set list was completely different - loads of songs from Isn't Anything and the 2 EPs not just Loveless. It was loud and great - Feed Me with Your Kiss was amazing.
I'm a little curius why a crime reporter was sent to this gig. Murder on the ears?
I really wanted to go to this gig but it was in the middle of the most insane flood of international gigs to tour Australia in years and wallets can't handle it. I wish the stupid promoters spaced things better.
I know they are a noise band but I couldn't hear their songs for all the noise. Disappointing as some of their melodies are sublime.
I am getting old though....

My sequined bra makes me real happy, and especially when the sun hits it, it looks like I have a full party going on. The dress/shorts is from this cute store in Clinton Street-NYC but I can't remember the name of it (I will do some more research), shades from Selima, watch from modekungen.se and lipstick from MAC in the shade St.Germain. Oh and yes I cut my hair, A LOT! At Ion in New York. It feels great with a change and I'm even tempted to go a tad shorter.

Great interview. It was nice to hear how DCWV came to be. And what a great job you have. It is also nice to know that DCWV is pretty much an all American company. Too many of our jobs are being outsourced. I will forever be a DCWV stack-aholic.ReplyDelete

Puzzling, how we seem to be the only ones running around like chickens with our heads cut off when it comes to company and entertaining. Put the troops to work, have them distribute your tasty treats on the Roost Puzzle Serving Board ($54). This fun server with interlocking pieces is made from solid acacia wood, and finished with mineral oil, to keep it looking good for years. Less puzzling - where all the liquor went!

My automatic turn signal was not working and I was on a busy roadway, my turn signal was still on, when a woman came from a side street and ran into me. Her insurance company is finding me at fault. I feel that if a turn signal is on the woman had the obligation to make sure I was making a turn before she pulled out. Help!

I am not sure I am understanding your statement above. Was you turn signal on or off? Also, have you consulted with a local Car Accident Lawyer to advise you of your rights?

What sort of "help" do you suppose folks on a message board can provide? We can answer general questions about the law, but you didn't ask any questions.

In most patent [4] laws [5], prior art or state of the art [6] is all information [7] that has been disclosed to the public in any form before a given date. However, under United States Patent Law [8], non-public prior art, such as a sale carried out in secret (e.g., under a non-disclosure agreement [9]), qualifies as prior art in certain circumstances. In Europe [10], prior art does not include information kept secret, whether from trade secrecy [11] or just a simple lack of interest in publication. (cited from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prior_Art [12])

The Prior Art has the following properties associated with it
- Author
- Publication date (not necessarily the public publication date?)
- The art itself (or a reference to it, if copyright considerations prohibit including the art itself)
- If the art itself is not understandable by a person of regular skill in the field, it must be accompanied by appropriate explanatory material.

This is a question from a calculus sample test, and I can't figure out how to prove it. Can I get some help from you guys?
Definition of continuity that we've learned is $$\lim_{x\to a} f(x) = f(a).$$ If that holds, then $f$ is continuous at $a$.
The definition that we learned of a limit is:
For every $\epsilon > 0$, there exists $\delta > 0$ such that $|x - a| < \delta$ implies $|f(x) - L| < \epsilon$.
$\epsilon$ and $\delta$, as far as I can tell, are just variables, $a$ is what $x$ is approaching, and $L$ is the limit.
