Stock Upgrades: US Steel Is a Steal
Justin Sharon
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
Not the most fitting
farewell for the New York Stock Exchange
, whose history began under a Buttonwood tree in 1792 and ended by sending
(NYSE:TWTR) bluebird skyward in 2013. Its last day as an independent entity was notable only for light volume and stocks snapping a two-session winning streak. The

New York Times

Tesla Motors

can not recall it
. Regardless, his stock still fell 4.77%.) Communist China concluded its own confab, safe in the knowledge it will soon
overtake the heartland of capitalism economically
. Though you would never know it, based on the
paltry amount it just gave those poor citizens of the Philippines
. And on 11/12/13, the year's top day to get married, Match.com parent
(NASDAQ:IACI) gained 1.83% to a historic high. Because, while love hurts, it
isn't as painful as having an affair

Turnips (Brassica napobrassica) and rutabagas (Brassica rapa) can be found in the produce section of the grocery store, but these root veggies can be difficult to tell apart. While they are both from the same family, they are not the same veggie. In fact, the rutabaga is a cross between a turnip and a cabbage, says the Iowa State University Extension. Some refer to rutabagas as "Swedes" or "yellow turnips".
Turnips are globe shaped with white skin and flesh. They may have either green or purple shoulders. Turnips have one taproot with no distinct neck at the top. Foliage consists of light, thin leaves that are slightly hairy sprouting directly from the top of the turnip.
Rutabagas are larger and are typically conically shaped with a taproot with and side root. The top tapers to a distinct neck and sports smooth, blue-green foliage similar to cabbage leaves. The skin of a rutabaga is yellow and the flesh is yellow-orange.
Turnips have crisp, zesty flesh and are often served in salads or eaten raw with dip. Rutabagas have a milder and creamier flavor. Rutabagas are often boiled or baked and mashed or added to soups and casseroles. Turnips can also be used in stews or casseroles.
While they both require the same growing conditions, rutabagas require a longer growing season. Rutabagas require 90 days to maturity while some turnips reach maturity in as few as 35 days. Most turnips mature in 55 to 60 days.

Monitoring Naval Officers
The Area being Modelled is :-
Monitoring Naval Officers
Question: Sirs, I am creating a website that will be used by junior Naval Officers to
select mentors from a list of senior Naval Officers.
The seniors will have probably about 10 jobs (orders) that they have held from 2-3 in duration.
I want to create a database that will allow the juniors to search the jobs that seniors have
held that match their desires.
I am thinking of 10 tables, with the table 1 being the base senior officer info (name, rank,...)
and the tables 2-10 to list the orders that each of the seniors have held.
Table 2-10 would essentially be the same fields over and over again just going backward from most
recent to the oldest.
How do I set up the keys to make this work ?
I have a proposed schema that I can send along.
Thanks. any help would be appreciated, and I will upload any information after this is done to help
you website.

"I finished the last sentence of my poem and braced myself for the wave of cheers and applause." — Erica Marte, mentee
The lights dim. The audience hushes. A girl begins to read. The Girls Write Now CHAPTERS reading series is when the training wheels come off and our mentees get a chance to shout their proud new voices out loud — many for the first time.
At each CHAPTERS reading, held at major Manhattan cultural institutions, mentees take the stage with their mentors to showcase their own writing in front of a supportive audience of several hundred people. They are joined by well-known guest authors — prominent women writers with recently published work – who read from their writing and share insights on their craft.
CHAPTERS might be the first time mentees have presented their writing in public, so we prepare throughout the year with public speaking rehearsals, performance tips and techniques, individual coaching, and pre-reading warm-ups.
Want to join us? CHAPTERS is currently held every spring, with one reading monthly from March through June open to the public. Or, you can watch (and share) performances from each CHAPTERS reading series right here.

The mood turned dark before the sky could catch up Saturday night at DTE music theater in Clarkston, north of Detroit, when the rocking mega-double bill of Soundgarden and Nine Inch Nails attacked the stage. The crowd, which ranged from teenagers to those in their fifties, were treated to a mix of songs, both classic and recent, from both artists during their well-balanced performances of 85 minutes each. This bill would have been even more amazing in 1994, as the bands were touring for their then-new releases, Superunknown and The Downward Spiral, respectively, but as both albums celebrate their 20th anniversaries this year, now is as appropriate a time as any for the two acts to join forces.
The evening began with a short, 25-minute set from Opn (ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER), a one-man, electronic act that featured deep bass beats and shrill, squealing accents. The few songs that were performed certainly aligned more, musically, with Nine Inch Nails, but the audience seemed mostly indifferent to this performance. After a short set change, music began behind a large black curtain as the four members of Soundgarden took the stage and prepared to rock. As the intro of their classic "Searching With My Good Eye Closed" segued into the main guitar riff, the curtain dropped and the crowd roared to its feet to welcome the classic Seattle alt-rockers back once again. The band's set was heavy on riffs and light on banter, with blistering guitar solos from Kim Thayil and a song selection that balanced the band's greatest hits with a strong sampling of, or introduction to, their brand of psychedelic metal to the uninitiated. The attitude in the performance, however, was more of a powerful statement and less of an invitation.
Soundgarden, performing with guest-drummer Matt Chamberlain, filling in while Matt Cameron fulfills his day-job duties in Pearl Jam, featured the six most well-known songs from Superunkown, as well as a sampling of other hits that had the crowd singing along throughout. By time the band finished their thoroughly-rocking set, the audience was ready for the main event, and after another break, the single light bulb which stood at the center of the mostly bare stage was approached by Trent Reznor, and with the push of a button, Nine Inch Nails' concert began.
Nine Inch Nails, still touring to support last year's comeback LP, Hesitation Marks, appeared this time in a stripped-down form of only three supporting players which recalled a similar configuration Reznor assembled in 2009. Veteran multi-instrumentalists Robin Finck and Alessandro Cortini joined NIN newcomer Ilan Rubin throughout the engaging performance which included a bit of music from almost every major release from the project's 25 years. The visual element has always been a big part of Reznor's performances, and Saturday night was no exception, with giant LED screens being moved around by stage crew between and during almost every song, and a tremendous light show throughout. No particular album-era was featured, but the crowd responded most favorably to the five songs from The Downward Spiral as well as the two from 1992's Broken EP. After an evening of precise musical execution, the band encored with their signature send off, the always-haunting and moving "Hurt," which the crowd sang louder than any other song performed that night. As the show came to a close, and the audience began its trudge to the parking lot, it was a great feeling to know quality rock and roll still exists and that it is treasured by so many, even in 2014.

Searching With My Good Eye Closed

The Day I Tried to Live

The organization and assimilation of functions across the supply chain is more significant than the distinct functions themselves. This is particularly true in a global supply chain. Supply chain executives in organizations across industries have experienced sales growth and an improvement of general performance from globalization efforts in the last few years. As global supply chains increase their reach and intricacy, the call for professionals with the abilities and skills to oversee them will continue to increase.
Who Should Register
This course has been created for global managers, operational supply chain personnel, supply chain managers, and mid- to top-level executives in multinational organizations and companies seeking to become more involved in the global marketplace. It will also benefit executives who want to improve their comprehension of the competitive advantages of global supply chains, as well as those looking to incorporate them into their organizational strategy.

SPX Update: Outlook Starting to Clarify Again
Jason Haver
Some key near-term levels will help determine where the balance of power shifts for bulls and bears.
The market has continued to grind within the noise zone, but there is now the potential of a near-term problem developing for bears. There have been several attempts at the 1561-1564 zone, and the more times support or resistance is tested, the weaker it becomes. In the case of resistance, eventually the overhead supply of sell orders is exhausted -- and once the balance shifts to where there are more buyers than sellers, the law of supply and demand leaves the market no choice but to head higher... at least until it runs into a new layer of supply.
This is the reason there are no officially-recognized "quadruple" top or bottom patterns in classic technical analysis (to my knowledge, this pattern is only recognized in P&F charting). Shorting the first retest can work, shorting the second retest can work, but shorting the third retest is usually a losing play for more than a quick trade because odds are good that the market has already chewed through most of the sellers at that price level.
In other words, bears are basically facing their "final stand" at these levels. Another thrust back up here, and the sellers will likely become overwhelmed, at least for the near-term.
In regards to the intermediate-term, there has been no change in my outlook and, unless there is a material change in the market's behavior going forward, I continue to feel this is the final leg of the rally before a larger correction. The challenge of the past few sessions has been in trying to determine how we'd get there, and the market really hadn't been giving me too much to work with in terms of clarity. Things are finally starting to clarify, though, and for this update I have a number of potential targets, as well as some key levels that would suggest progressively higher price targets if crossed.
There's now one obvious pattern in the near-term charts, and this is the pattern many technicians seem to be watching; it's called an "ascending triangle." In classic technical analysis, this is a continuation pattern, and suggests a target of 1588-1590 if the market breaks out above the upper boundary.
While I can't be certain, I suspect that pattern may not play out as most are expecting. I'll explain the pattern first, then I'll explain what to watch for to determine if it's "working" or not. Of course, the first thing that needs to happen for this pattern to have any validity at all is the market needs to break 1565 -- if that fails to happen, then it's a moot point.
Click to enlarge
While the triangle is more obvious, I'm still inclined to favor the idea that a top is closer than this pattern suggests. There are two near-term options for bears here. The first is that the prior high holds and the market continues lower immediately. The second is a pattern I mentioned a few days ago, called an ending diagonal. If 1565 is broken, the diagonal will become my odds-on favorite, with the next target (for wave iii) being 1568-1571. If the market then goes on to break 1573 during wave iii (on the chart below), I will then be sold on the ascending triangle pattern discussed above and be inclined to favor a trip to 1580-1600. Unless that happens, though, I think the diagonal shown below (or the more immediately bearish count) is more probable.

The hourly chart notes a bit more detail on some key levels. The most immediately bearish count continues to remain on the table until the market reclaims the prior high.

In conclusion, while numerous possibilities remain viable as of this publication, the market has now clarified enough that we have some key near-term levels to watch -- and this should at least give us an edge in determining the market's next target of higher probability. Trade safe.

NEW YORK - Salman Rushdie strongly criticized his publisher for pulling a historical novel about the prophet Muhammad and his child bride over concerns about angering Muslims.
Rushdie, whose "The Satanic Verses" led to a death decree in 1989 from Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and forced the author for years to live under police protection, said the Random House Publishing Group had allowed itself to be intimidated.
"I am very disappointed to hear that my publishers, Random House, have canceled another author's novel, apparently because of their concerns about possible Islamic reprisals," Rushdie said Thursday in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
"This is censorship by fear, and it sets a very bad precedent indeed."
Random House has acknowledged pulling Sherry Jones' debut novel, "The Jewel of Medina," about Muhammad and his child bride, Aisha. The publisher, which had planned to release the book this month, said in a recent statement that "credible and unrelated sources" had warned that the book "could incite acts of violence by a small, radical segment."
On Thursday, Random House spokeswoman Carol Schneider said, "We certainly respect Mr. Rushdie's opinion, but we stand by our decision, which we made with considerable deliberation and regret."

On May 19, it was announced in an issued press release that the Grammy Award winning pop rock band Maroon 5 signed with Interscope Records. The band will release their upcoming fifth studio album, V via their new label on Sept. 2. In addition, the band signed a worldwide tour deal with Live Nation, with tour dates to be announced in the coming weeks.
According to the press release, the album was recorded in Los Angeles over the past year with producers Max Martin, Benny Blanco, Ryan Tedder, Shellback and Sam Martin. Maroon 5's upcoming V album reunites the band with long-time keyboardist Jesse Carmichael, who took a hiatus while the band recorded 2012's Overexposed. They will release the lead single from the album this summer. No song names have been released at this time, and the band was previously signed to A&M/Octone Records.
Maroon 5's lead vocalist, Adam Levine, is closing out his 6th season the NBC reality competition program, "The Voice". He has also been acting, as he's appeared on the FX series "American Horror Story", and he will soon be seen in a lead role in the major motion picture film, "Begin Again", from director John Carney.

GENERIC NAME: cefprozil
BRAND NAME: Cefzil
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Cefprozil is a semi-synthetic (partially man-made), oral antibiotic of the cephalosporin family. The cephalosporin family includes cephalexin (Keflex), cefaclor (Ceclor), cefuroxime (Zinacef), cefpodoxime (Vantin), cefixime (Suprax), and many other injectable antibiotics. Like other cephalosporins, cefprozil stops bacteria from multiplying by preventing bacteria from forming the walls that surround them. The walls are necessary to protect bacteria from their environment and to keep the contents of the bacterial cell together. Most bacteria cannot survive without a cell wall. Cefprozil is active against a very wide spectrum of bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes (the cause of strep throat), Hemophilus influenzae (the cause of otitis media, middle ear infection), Moraxella catarrhalis, E. coli, Klebsiella, Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella, Shigella, Clostridium perfringens and difficile, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The FDA approved Cefprozil in December 1991.

This soup was inspired by some grilled marinated Portobello mushrooms I had leftover from dinner the night before. I had been making another mushroom barley soup recipe for years, but was always left a little bored by it. Basically, I wanted something meatier, and the grilled portabellas did the trick. If you happen to have some leftover roast, brisket or steak, you could use that in here and skip the first step of making the grilled mushrooms. Or add it all in together. It would bump up the calories a bit, but would sure be tasty.
For the marinated grilled portabellas
2 Portobello Mushroom Caps
½ tsp Herbs de Provence (or ¼ tsp dried thyme, ¼ tsp dried rosemary)
¼ cup soy sauce
2 TBSP balsamic vinegar
1 tsp balsamic crème (if you have), or 1 tsp honey
1 tsp garlic oil (or 1 tsp olive oil and 1 tsp minced garlic)
A few grinds of black pepper
For the soup
2 TBSP olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 ¼ cups)
2 medium celery ribs, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 10 oz. package sliced cremini mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, chopped fine
¼ cup medium-dry Sherry
½ cup barley
4 cups beef broth
1 1/2 cups water
3 carrots, sliced
¼ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried parsley (or ¼ cup chopped fresh)
2 tsp tomato paste
Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1 – The Portobellos:
Scrape the gills out of the portobello caps (a spoon works nicely here.) Place the caps in a dish deep enough to hold them and the marinade. Wisk together the next 6 ingredients, pour over the mushrooms, and flip the mushrooms over so they coated on both sides. Let sit for 30 minutes to an hour.
Spray a grill pan with cooking spray (or fry pan or griddle if you don't have a grill pan) and heat over medium-high. Remove the mushrooms from the marinade (save the marinade, you'll need it again) and lay the mushrooms cap side up on the grill pan. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper, and grill for 3-4 minutes. Turn and grill for another 2-3 minutes until just tender. Remove to a board, slice the mushrooms in half, and then each half into slices. Add sliced mushrooms back into the marinade and let sit.
Step 2 – The Soup:
Heat 2 TBSP olive oil in a medium sized stockpot and sauté the onions and celery with a pinch of salt until soft and just starting to brown. Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes. Add sliced cremini mushrooms, a small pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper and sauté until most of the moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated. Off heat, add the Sherry, then return to heat, add in the marinade from the mushrooms and bring to a boil, cooking until the liquid is reduced by about one-third. Add in the beef broth, water, tomato paste, carrots, barley, dried thyme, rosemary and parsley and sliced grilled mushrooms. Return to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 1 hour. Taste for seasonings and add more salt and pepper if needed. Calories: about 85 calories per cup.

Leptonycteris nivalis
|Scientific Name:
|Leptonycteris nivalis
|Species Authority:
|(Saussure, 1860)
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Prior to 1962 specimens of Leptonycteris yerbabuenae were reported as L. nivalis. See Van Den Bussche (1992) for an analysis of phylogenetic relationships of phyllostomid bats based on restriction-site variation in the ribosomal-DNA gene complex.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered A2c ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Arroyo-Cabrales, J., Miller, B., Reid, F., Cuarón, A.D. & de Grammont, P.C.
|Medellín, R. (Chiroptera Red List Authority) & Schipper, J. (Global Mammal Assessment Team)
Listed as Endangered because of a serious population decline, estimated to be more than 50% over the last 10 years, inferred from trade data, observed shrinkage in distribution and anecdotal information on habitat destruction and/or degradation.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is known from southeast Arizona, south New Mexico, and west Texas (USA) to south Mexico and Guatemala (Simmons, 2005). It occurs from lowlands to 3,500 m (mostly 1,000 to 2,200 m) (Reid, 1997).
The range includes medium to high elevations in northern and central Mexico, southwestern Texas (southern Brewster and Presidio counties), and southwestern New Mexico, at elevations of about 500 to 3,000+ meters. Most occurrences in Mexico are at elevations of 1,000-2,200 meters, but this bat been captured at an elevation of 3,780 meters (Arita 1991), and the type specimen was caught near snow line at 17,816 feet (5,747 meters) on Mt. Orizaba, in Veracruz, Mexico (USFWS 2000). In Texas, the species is known from the Big Bend National Park and Chinati Mountain area. Two specimens of Leptonycteris taken in Hidalgo County, New Mexico (in 1963 and 1967), were determined to be L. nivalis. The presence of this species in New Mexico was reconfirmed in Hidalgo County in 1992 (Hoyt et al. 1994). This species formerly was thought to occupy a much larger area, extending into southern Mexico and Guatemala, but specimens collected from those areas have been assigned to L. yerbabuenae (Arita and Humphrey 1988). The only colonial roost in the U.S. is a cave at Emory Peak, at an elevation of 2,290 meters, in the Chisos Mountains, Texas. Simmons (2005) described the range of L. nivalis as extending to southern Mexico and Guatemala, and she also included southeastern Arizona in the range. However, no actual records for Arizona are known, and Arita (1991) showed the range as extending only as far south as Puebla and northern Guerrero.

|This bat is uncommon or rare (Reid, 1997). The number of occurrences or subpopulations is unknown but probably exceeds 20; Arita (1991) mapped a few dozen collection sites in Mexico. One known colonial roosting site exists in the United States, but there could a one or more additional sites that have not yet been detected. The number of occurences or subpopulations with good viability is unknown but likely there are not very many. Several caves in central Mexico were known to contain considerable numbers in the past but now contain only small colonies or none at all (see USFWS 2000). Probably declining in number of occurrences or subpopulation and in overall population size, but the rate of decline is unknown; better information is need.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species can be found in pine-oak and deciduous forest and desert scrub (Reid, 1997). This species usually favors higher and cooler regions than L. yerbabuenae (Arita, 1991). It usually roosts in large groups (up to 10,000) in caves or mines; occasionally found in buildings, hollow trees, or culverts. Emerges well after sunset and feeds on pollen and nectar, principally of agaves and various cacti. Bombax, Ceiba, Ipomoea, Calliandra, Pinus, and grasses are also important food sources in Central Mexico (Gardner, 1977). Fruit and insects are sometimes taken. Northern populations migrate south in winter; numbers found in caves fluctuate greatly from year to year, indicating eruptive movements in addition to seasonal migration. Single young are born in May or June (Hensley and Wilkins, 1988; Reid, 1997).
Single known U.S. roost at Emory Peak (Texas): 10,650 bats in 1967, 5,000 in 1968, 3,900 in 1969, 0 in 1970, 8025 in 1971, 1000 in 1983, 4,942 -5,990 in 1988, 5,000+ in 1991, 0 in 1992, and 2,859 in 1993 (Matthews and Moseley 1990, see USFWS 2000); number fluctuates widely from one year to the next; fluctuation may be in part due to some counts being made before or after the main period of bat occupation of the cave (Cockrum and Petryszyn 1991). Texas population may be a "spill-over" colony present during years of high population or reduced food supply. See Arita (1993) for general information on conservation status and population size in Mexico. Reliable estimates for Mexican populations are not available, but Arita and Prado rated this species as widespread and scarce in Mexico.
Long-term trend is unclear. Extent of occurrence and area of occupancy probably have not changed much, but the number of occurrence or subpopulations and population size may have dramatically decreased in some locations during the last three decades. Wilson et al. (1985) found that this species was either completely absent or present in reduced numbers in known roosts. The number of bats found represented only a fraction of the total reported in previous studies. For example, in an abandoned mine in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, where an estimated population of 10,000 was observed in 1938, no individuals of L. nivalis were found in 1983 (Wilson 1985). Another mine in Nuevo Leon had a ceiling covered with newborn bats in 1967, but only one bat was found in 1983. A few other roosts had reduced numbers of bats compared to findings during previous surveys. These changes could indicate a decline in the overall population, but they might reflect movement of bats among different roosting sites in different years, or they could result from seasonal changes in bat distribution (survey dates varied).
Abundance at one of the two known roosting sites in the United States (a cave in Big Bend National Park) fluctuates widely from year to year (0 to 10,000+ individuals). No significant trend can be ascertained from these data, which are the best available for the species. Reasons for the fluctuations are not understood, but they could reflect annual variations in food resources in different parts of the range (USFWS 2000).
Habitats include desert scrub, open conifer-oak woodlands, and pine forests in the Upper Sonoran and Transition Life Zones, generally arid areas where agave plants are present (USFWS 2000). Colonies roost in caves (or similar mines and tunnels), sometimes in culverts, hollow trees, or unused buildings. Roosting habitat requirements are not well known.
|Major Threat(s):
|Primary threats include disturbance of roosts, loss of food sources through clearing of land for agriculture and human exploitation of agaves (e.g., for production of alcoholic beverages), and direct killing by humans. Other threats may include negative effects of ingestion of pesticides applied to plants, competition for roosts and nectar, natural catastrophes, disease, and predation; however, these are not believed to be major limiting factors, though some of them could become significant for populations reduced to small size by other factors (see USFWS 2000). These bats are sensitive to disturbance in their roosting sites (they often quickly take flight upon human entry; Wilson 1985, Wilson et al. 1985) and, in general, roosting caves are becoming increasingly subject to human destruction and disturbance. Human disturbance and destruction of roost sites is a common occurrence in Mexico. The availability of roost sites free from disturbance may be a significant limiting factor. Special precautions should be taken when mine and cave surveys are conducted. In June and July when the young are very small, disturbance can cause them to lose their grasp on the rock and fall to their death. During hibernation, disturbance will cause an increase in metabolism; this use of fat reserves may cause starvation prior to spring (New Mexico Department of Game and Fish 1996). A major problem for bats all over Mexico is that uninformed citizens frequently destroy all bats in a roost, believing them to be vampire bats. Foraging habitat can be degraded or destroyed by harvesting of agave (an important food resource). It has been estimated that bootleg mescal makers are eliminating between 500,00 and 1,200,000 wild paniculate agave a year in Sonora alone. Agave plant parts are harvested just before they bloom; this prevents flowering and can prevent reproduction by the affected plant (an agave plant grows for 10 to 20 years, flowers only once, then dies). However, there are few places in Sonora or elsewhere in Mexico where wild Agave harvesting has eliminated a significant percentage of nectar-producing genets, and plants harvested by indigenous people generally produce vegetative offshoots that may eventually produce flowers (Nabhan and Fleming 1993). Populations of unharvested plants persist in many areas that are not easily accessible to humans. The negative impact of agave harvest probably is not as great as was previously believed. On the other hand, reduced pollination resulting from decreased bat populations may eventually lead to a reduction in agave distribution and abundance. Some foraging habitat has been degraded or destroyed by expansion of agriculture and other land uses. Large areas of both the Sierra Madre Oriental and Sierra Madre Occidental and the Mexican Plateau have been converted to agriculture or rangeland. This species may experience predation from owls, hawks, snakes, and mammals, but natural levels of predation likely are inconsequential to the overall status of the species. However, increased populations of domestic and feral cats and other predators near human habitations may affect the survival of colonies, particularly maternity colonies (USFWS 2000).
|Conservation Actions:
A protected population exists at Emory Peak, Big Bend National Park, Texas (USFWS 2000). Further regular surveys are needed to determine important roost sites, abundance, and trends. Conservation of this bat will require maintenance of relatively large areas of wild Agave. Identification and protection of currently and formerly occupied roost sites and protection of foraging habitat in at least several areas throughout the range are important conservation needs. Populations need to be defined, and movement patterns need to be better understood. Accurate censusing methods need to be developed.
In Mexico is listed as threatened under NOM - 059 - SEMARNAT - 2001, and is priority species of the Bat Conservation Program (Arroyo-Cabrales pers. comm.).

Green infrastructure offers attractive solutions to environmental, social and economic issues, and as such needs to be fully integrated across different policy domains. As the EEA prepares to publish a report on the role of green infrastructure in mitigating the impacts of weather and climate change related natural hazards, we spoke to its lead author, Gorm Dige, project manager for territorial environment, policy and economic analysis.
Climate change and cities30 Jun 2015
Most Europeans now live in cities, so the choices we make about urban infrastructure will have a large influence on how well we cope with climate change. More frequent rainfall, flooding, and heatwaves are likely to be among the challenges that Europe's cities will face from climate change. We asked Holger Robrecht, Deputy Regional Director of ICLEI, what cities are doing to adapt to climate change.
Climate change is impacting and will continue to impact Europe. Are cities ready to face rising sea levels and temperatures and more extreme events like floods, droughts or heat waves? We asked this question to Birgit Georgi, working on regional vulnerability and climate change adaptation at the European Environment Agency.
How to make cities 'green'02 Jun 2014
More than three quarters of Europeans live in urban areas. What urban residents produce, buy, eat, and throw away, the way they move around and where they live all have an impact on the environment. At the same time, the way a city is built also affects the way its residents live. We asked Roland Zinkernagel from the City of Malmö in Sweden about concrete actions to make their city sustainable.
Martin Fitzpatrick is a Principal Environmental Health Officer in the air quality monitoring and noise unit of Dublin City Council, Ireland. He is also the Dublin contact point for a pilot project run by the European Commission DG Environment and the EEA aimed at improving the implementation of air legislation. We asked him how Dublin tackles the health problems linked to poor air quality.
Water in the city28 Aug 2012
With population growth, urbanisation and economic development, the demand for freshwater in urban areas are increasing throughout Europe. At the same time, climate change and pollution are also affecting the availability of water for city residents. How can Europe's cities continue providing clean freshwater to their residents?
Turning the urban challenge into an opportunity27 Apr 2012
Copenhagen, 2 July 2011. Up to 150 mm of rainfall in two hours – a city record since measurements began in the mid-1800s. Homes destroyed. Citizens and emergency services struggled to cope. This is one example of how excessive extreme weather events can affect a European capital – events that are expected more often under climate change.
Urban world27 Jun 2011
Did you know? A city affects a large area outside its own boundaries. For example, London alone is thought to need an area of almost 300 times its geographical size to satisfy its demands and to dispose of its waste and emissions. (SOER 2010)
Water is critical for life and is integral to virtually all economic activities, including food production and industry. Not only is clean water a prerequisite for human health and well-being, it provides aquatic habitats that support healthy freshwater ecosystems.
Analysing and managing urban growth16 Feb 2011
Over the last decades, continuous urban expansion at rates much higher than population growth has resulted in a massive urban footprint on Europe – fragmenting rural space, blocking ecosystem services and increasing the demand for transport and energy.
Urban soil sealing in Europe19 Jan 2011
Soil is the earth's living skin and provides us with essential services for life in our planet: production of food; infiltration and cleansing of water and protection against flooding; habitat for plants; areas for recreation and mental health; micro climate regulation, etc. It is such a crucial resource that it can't be ignored. However, particularly in urban areas, soil is being sealed off with increasing housing and infrastructure.
From urban spaces to urban ecosystems17 Mar 2010
The electric car finally seems to be on the verge of breaking through, offering significant environmental benefits, especially in urban areas. Innovative business models are on the way which should boost consumer acceptance and overcome the remaining barriers, such as high battery costs, green electricity supply and charging infrastructure.
Cities and towns are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and will need to find innovative ways to adapt. Now is the time to start rethinking urban design and management — yet few have taken concrete action.
Barcelona is becoming a leader in solar energy use, Malmö is developing a carbon neutral residential area and London is setting ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets. Cities are joining in the fight against climate change.
As a major contributor to greenhouse gases, the transport sector figures high on the international climate change agenda. But for many living in cities, under flight paths or near major road and rail links, it's another of transport's by-products that causes most immediate harm: noise.

In December, 1963, Park City Mountain Resort opened for skiing as Treasure Mountains Resort.
Since this year marks the resort's 50-year anniversary, the Park City Museum will open an original exhibit, "50 Years of Park City Skiing" in November.
To find items and collect oral history stories about locals and visitors' experiences at the resort over the past half-decade, the museum, 528 Main St., is hosting a night of show and tell on Thursday, April 25, from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m.
During the free and casual event, the museum's staff will get ideas of what to display, said Jenette Purdy, the museum's director of education.
"We thought it would be a fun event one night where people brought the things they have collected over the years while skiing at PCMR and share them with each other," Purdy told The Park Record. "The museum, of course, loves objects and artifacts, but we also love stories. They sometimes make things more interesting, and it's fun to hear about how things were."
The museum will set up tables where people can lay out their items.
"They'll be able talk with each other about where the items came from, and tell their stories," Purdy said. "We will record some of the stories if people will allow us."
The museum hopes the winter exhibit will include an interactive display where museum visitors will be able to climb into a gondola and hear these stories.
"We may have to rerecord the stories at a later date, because I'm sure Thursday will be noisy with all the other people who will be in attendance, but we want to get some of that history down," she said.
West Office Exhibition Design, which built the museum's permanent display, will design "50 Year of Park City Skiing," Purdy said.
"Right now, we don't have any set plan to have specific stories and items, but we want to have fun memories we can show," she said. "As for the objects, we just want to see what people have and then we'll go from there."
During Thursday's event, the museum will not be collecting any items.
"That could get quite overwhelming," Purdy said. "There is a long and deliberate process we use to make sure all the items that we receive are accurately categorized and safe and secure.
"We just want to see what people have and to see if those items fit in the context of the exhibit, she said. "We will contact people later to see if they will be interested in loaning us some of their items."
Since the exhibit covers 50 years, Purdy said the staff will look for items, such as skis, boots and clothing, which cover the different eras.
"It doesn't matter if they reach all the way back to 50 years, or 40, 30, 20, 10 or five," she said. "This is a fact-finding mission for the exhibit and we're excited for it."
The night will also feature food, drinks and a contest with prizes to see who owns the oldest skis and the oldest PCMR season pass.
"People can just show up," Purdy said. "No RSVP is necessary."
The Park City Museum, 528 Main St., will host a "Show and Tell" event on Thursday, April 25 from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. The night will feature food, drinks and the public reminiscing about the last 50 years of skiing at Park City Mountain Resort. For more information, visit www.parkcityhistory.org .

College Hockey:POTY Curry Leads Hockey East Awards
Top-to-bottom talent in Hockey East was on display during the league's annual banquet, as players and coaches from seven different programs won major awards. Boston University senior John Curry was the biggest winner on the night, as he swept the RBK Player of the Year, Goaltending and Itech "Three Star" awards.
Curry outdistanced Boston College's Brian Boyle, the league's scoring champion (37 points on 13 goals and 24 assists), to take Player of the Year honors, while his 1.85 goals against average ensured him the title of goaltending champion. Boston College also snapped up the Best Defensive Forward award, thanks to senior Joe Rooney.
Curry's BU teammate Sean Sullivan joined his goaltender in the winner's circle as the unanimous winner of the Old-Time Hockey Best Defensive Defenseman award, and Maine freshman Teddy Purcell narrowly edged Northeastern's stalwart freshman goaltender, Brad Thiessen, for Superskills Rookie of the Year honors.
Maine's Mike Lundin finished his stellar run in Orono by winning the Len Ceglarski Sportsmanship Award, while Massachusetts took the Charlie Holt Team Sportsmanship Award.
Although top-seeded New Hampshire didn't win any individual accolades, it's a safe bet that every member of the team takes a measure of pride in seeing the Wildcats' coach, Richard Umile, win the CCM Bob Kullen Coach of the Year award.

What do you do when bad fashion happens to good people? That was the question to ask when 'Game Of Thrones' actress Gwendoline Christie hit the red carpet on June 16, 2014 at the Fragrance Foundation Awards. Gwendoline attended the event in a Giles Deacon gown from the designer's 2015 Resort Collection according to TomAndLorenzo.com.
The British actress who stands an amazing 6' 3" could not even carry her pink flamingo emblazoned white silk frock with extending train. It is hard to imagine what it would have looked like on someone shorter. The dress was squared off at the neckline and included tiny spaghetti straps and life sized pink flamingos standing in a row. A train when extended showed the birds in a line formation. The dress was simply awful and it did nothing to enhance Gwendoline's figure or her height.
Gwendoline added white pointy Louboutin pumps which were too heavy for the light nature of the gown fabric and a fabric clutch that did not work either. Don't you think some fun jewelry might have balanced the look. She added nothing. There were no fabulous long drop earrings or colorful bangles.
For makeup Gwendoline selected a washed out look at a time when her makeup screamed for a pop of a bright lip color. Doesn't this look make you wonder if she has a stylist? The next question is what do these birds have to do with fragrance? Perhaps they stink.
The good news is that everyone is a fan of this actress no matter what she wears.The Fragrance Foundation recognizes achievements in the perfume industry and thankfully they do not recognize bad fashion.
A shout out goes to Ms.Taylor Swift for winning Fragrance Celebrity Of The Year.

Privacy Advocate Withdraws from RapLeaf Advisory Board
Jim Dempsey, a privacy advocate at the Center for Democracy and Technology, said he resigned from RapLeaf Inc.'s privacy advisory board after being contacted by the Wall Street Journal about his role at the Internet tracking company.
Mr. Dempsey is a vice president at the Center for Democracy and Technology, a Washington nonprofit advocacy group. The center is pushing for federal privacy legislation that would require websites to notify consumers if their data are being shared with third parties such as RapLeaf.
Mr. Dempsey said he joined RapLeaf's advisory board about three years ago at the request of the company. He said he did not view his position as an endorsement of RapLeaf's approach to privacy.
"My attitude is I'll go wherever anybody is willing to listen to me," Mr. Dempsey said in an interview. "They've been very willing to listen."
What They Know
See more about online privacy from the Wall Street Journal's series on Internet-tracking technology.
Joel Jewitt, RapLeaf's vice president for business development, said that Mr. Dempsey's "counsel has been highly valuable to us."
Mr. Dempsey said that about a year ago he became concerned that his appearance on RapLeaf's website could have been viewed as an endorsement – so he asked the company to take it down. "I'm not there to bless them," he said. "When they did list me on their website, that looked like an implied blessing."
He remained on the company's privacy advisory board until he was contacted by the Wall Street Journal this month. The Center for Democracy and Technology says it is now re-evaluating its criteria for participation in corporate advisory boards.

#2 Wildcats Stunned by #5 Massachusetts
Oct. 25, 2003
VILLANOVA, PA. - In a battle of undefeated Atlantic 10 foes, Massachusetts scored a late touchdown on a fumble recovery to defeat Villanova, 19-14 in front of a homecoming crowd of 9,125 at Villanova Stadium. The Wildcats had a chance to come back and re-take the lead, but Marvin Burroughs' fourth-and-12 pass to John Dieser fell incomplete.
The 'Cats were poised to run out the clock and seal a 14-13 victory, after a 51-yard field goal try by the Minutemen sailed short and left. But Shannon James recovered a fumbled snap on the ensuing drive for a 39-yard touchdown, giving UMass the lead with 2:08 remaining in the game.
The Wildcats took over with 2:01 to go and two timeouts, but the drive stalled after ten plays and 27 yards.
The game was dominated by the defense, with the Wildcats trailing 13-7 entering the fourth quarter. The Minutemen forced four turnovers in the game and registered seven sacks.
An eight-play, 54-yard drive culminated with a Terry Butler two-yard score to give Villanova the lead with 6:36 to go. A pass interference call on third-and-goal gave the 'Cats the ball at the two, setting up Butler's plunge.
The junior tailback finished the night as the game's leading rusher with 47 yards on nine carries.
Burroughs relieved Joe Casamento at quarterback in the third quarter and completed 11-of-20 passes for 146 yards.
UMass struck first in the game, scoring on the longest play in the history of Atlantic 10 football, a 97-yard completion from Jeff Krohn to Jimmie Howard. Michael Torres made the first of his two field goals on the night to give the Minutemen a 10-0 lead late in the second quarter, but Villanova scored just nine seconds prior to intermission on a 17-yard pass from Casamento to Dieser.
Dieser's eight receptions were a career high, and his 129 receiving yards were a game-high.
Villanova falls to 6-1 overall on the season, 4-1 in the Atlantic 10. The Minutemen remain undefeated in conference at 5-0, 7-1 overall. UMass returns to action this Saturday, Nov. 1 as it hosts Northeastern on Football Alumni Day with kick off slated for 12:30 p.m.

DmC Devil May Cry: 'Vergil isn't playable, PC version runs at 60FPS' – Capcom
DmC: May Cry won't feature a playable Vergil, Capom's Alex Jones has confirmed. He did shed light on the game's PC port however, which is being outsourced to Polish outfit QLOC. The PC version will launched after consoles due to logistical reasons – namely, that it's being enhanced to run at 60FPS.
Speaking with Eurogamer at TGS, Jones said of Vergil's inclusion, "I want to be definitive. He's not playable in the game. I don't want to be coy about that and have people think they're getting one thing when they're getting another."
On the PC version's unconfirmed release date, Jones explained, "I can't give you a day and date. What I can say we're endeavouring to get it out as shortly after the main game as possible so there's as little a gap between those two as we can reasonably get."
Jones added, "Because it's being developed out of house by a different developer from Ninja Theory there are logistical things involved. But the plan is to get it out shortly after the ship date for the console version."
Thanks Eurogamer.
