PORTLAND — The Portland Trail Blazers have had more than their fair share of close games as of late.
It appears that a young Eastern Conference team coming in a four-game losing streak was just the trick to be able to relax in the 4th quarter.
On Thursday, the Blazers became the first team in NBA history to make more than 20 three-pointers twice in a season on their way to a 134-104 blowout of the Charlotte Bobcats at the Moda Center on Thursday.
"It feels good to be part of history and do something that hasn't been done before," said Blazers coach Terry Stotts.
The game broke a streak of five in a row decided by five points or fewer against the suddenly reeling Charlotte Bobcats, who lost their fifth consecutive game.
The Bobcats have actually improved this season by becoming good on the defensive end of the floor as they came in as the sixth ranked defense in terms of points allowed per 100 possessions.
Despite their improvement, the Blazers knew coming in they had an opportunity to win big and put a team away with a good start.
"That's what we wanted," said Blazers forward Nicolas Batum. "We've got this stretch of five games before going on the road again that we have to take care of business. That's what we have to improve."
Charlotte looked like the hapless Bobcats teams of old as they couldn't stop anything Portland did, especially from the three-point line as the Blazers tied a franchise record for made threes.
While the Blazers put on a clinic from the arc and made over 21 three-pointers for the second time this season, they were more impressed with their defense in the first half.
"I think they shot 38 percent or something like that," said guard Wesley Matthews. "I'm going to keep saying everything was our defense. We were able to get stops and when we get stops, we're a dangerous team."
While the Blazers were certainly the beneficiaries of playing the league's second-worst offense, their defense allowed the Blazers get good shots offensively without having to run many set plays.
Although it's technically a new year, the Blazers offense was in the same form they exhibited in 2013, torching the Bobcats with ball movement and efficient three-point shooting.
"That's maybe who we are. That's not only luck," Batum said. "They will double team LaMarcus like tonight and that gives freedom to shoot the ball to punish them. If they keep trapping we're going to keep shooting threes and make those.
One guy who literally didn't miss from three was Damian Lillard, who scored 24 points on the night and went 6-for-6 from three. Combined, he and Wesley Matthews went 11-for-12 from beyond the three-point line.
The passing and shot-making was contagious.
"Our crowd gets into it and our crowd is almost willing the ball in for us before we even shoot," said Matthews on the feeling of when the team gets hot.
Depending on who you ask, tonight's game could have been a result of a momentum carry over from their big win in Oklahoma City but one thing is for sure, they enjoyed being able to relax at the end tonight.
"You've got to enjoy these because they don't come often," said Stotts.
With some help from losses by San Antonio and Oklahoma City, the Blazers have the best record in the Western Conference at 26-7.

The open world has been griefed a bit, yes. But I help anyone that asks me when they wish to start building somewhere. I can cleanup an area in seconds and prepare it for rebuilding so it hasn't really been a problem.

Server Update
PvP is now forced on. (See note 1.)
New plugin added; TSGESafeZones. (See note 2.)
Even more items added to free items room!
Note 1
PvP is now forced on. This is NOT using TShocks method of forcing pvp though due to the fact that TShocks method will lock your character until you turn it on manually. This was too annoying so I chose to not use it. Instead, PvP is forced on by my custom plugin. (See note 2.)
Note 2
TSGESafeZones is a custom plugin I wrote to allow admins, with permissions, to set zones as 'Safe Zones'. Safe zones are areas, like regions, that will automatically disable and enable pvp (regardless of what the player does with their pvp status) when they enter and leave the areas.
When a player enters a safe zone, their pvp will be forced off, and will continue to be forced off while they are in the safe zone. Upon leaving the safe zone, their pvp status will be forced back on and will continue to be forced on until they enter another safe zone.
hey atom0s can i have a rank maybe something
You need to use our forums for rankup requests BoxDrone. You can find our forum here:
Totally lovin' the forced PvP. Now... If we could just get it to work without crashing the server, lol!
Heh, my grumbling aside, I'm really impressed with this entire system that you've made. The best part is that, even though the Frozen Disco Palace has "approaching infinity" lights, the server still runs at about 400 Sanics, so PvP isn't disturbed by it at all. (which would be ironic, considering that it's part of pvpcity)
This server has gotta go fast.
For some reason, I am unable to access the server.
(I'm Nexus, by the way).

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
NEW ALBANY – The New Albany School District has added new exercise equipment and implemented a new physical education curriculum this year thanks to a three-year grant that could total more than $750,000.
The goal of the Carol M. White Physical Education Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Education is to make sure all students are healthy at home as well as in school.
"Our desire is that kids learn a healthy lifestyle at school, implement it in their lives and then pass it on to their parents and everyone around them," said Lecia Stubblefield, New Albany Schools Director of Curriculum, Federal Programs and Transportation.
The district has used the $296,000 it received from the grant this year to purchase large equipment like weights, Elliptical machines and treadmills and smaller equipment like foam balls, plastic cones and hula hoops. It has bought heart rate monitors and pedometers and added a ping-pong table and a Dance Dance Revolution video game.
Robbins Rogers, PE Coordinator at New Albany Elementary, said the greatest benefit of the grant has been the additional equipment that has been available.
"There are no shortages of equipment no matter what activity we do," Rogers said. "If every kid needed a basketball, we have a basketball for every single kid."
Rogers said some of the most useful equipment has been the hula hoops, foam balls and mesh jerseys that make it easier to divide the younger children into teams.
Rolandus Cox, who teaches PE to sixth-grade students, and PE and weight lifting to high school students, said the addition of fitness equipment at the high school allows him to broaden his lessons.
"I'm teaching them some things they're able to do for the rest of their life," Cox said. "I've told them that the things I'm teaching them, they should be able to go into a fitness center and for the most part, not have to ask anyone how to operate the machinery."
At the end of the year, the district will be evaluated on how much students increased their physical activity and how it used the grant money for new equipment. If approved by the Department of Education, the district can receive $246,237 next year and $223,917 in 2011-12, for a total of $766,268.
With the money from the grant, the district also purchased a new curriculum for its PE classes and has sent PE teachers and nurses to several training workshops, including one in Indianapolis over spring break.
"I was able to see that PE teachers in Washington and Ohio are doing the same things that I'm doing," Cox said of the Indianapolis workshop. "It was a real assurance for me that I was doing the right things."
The grant has also helped the district put in a behavior sensory lab to improve the learning environment of special needs students. It has paid the salary of two physical education teachers.
Jeff Hallam, associate professor of health promotion at Ole Miss, will serve as the grant's evaluator and send the U.S. Department of Education data about how much the district's level of physical activity has improved. That data is still being collected, Hallam said, but he has noticed some anecdotes of increases.
"Early on, there were a number of children at the elementary school who were just kind of hanging out during recess," Hallam said. "Although we don't have data yet, when we've come back it has appeared that there are fewer kids who are hanging out on the perimeters of the playground."
Stubblefield said the goal is to increase student activity both at recess and in PE classes. Rogers said he has heard fewer students make excuses to avoid PE class.
Part of that is the result of the new curriculum, which makes PE more structured and includes games that appeal to a larger number of students.
"It teaches them that PE is not just standing and doing jumping jacks," said Tammie Reeder, health services coordinator for the district. "It is having fun. It is a lifestyle change."

The Iowa Men's Golf team meets with the media before this weekend's Hawkeye Invitational
Mark Hankins established the Hawkeye program at the national level during his seven years as head men's golf coach at the University of Iowa. Under Hankins' guidance, Iowa advanced to NCAA competition each of the last six seasons, including a tie for 10th place at the NCAA Championships in 2011, the highest finish in the history of Hawkeye men's golf.
Hankins, a native of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, took over the Hawkeye program in 2007 after seven years as the head coach at Michigan State.
In seven seasons at the helm of the UI program, Iowa won 11 tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Championships three times under Hankins. Hankins has also coached three All-Americans, 11 All-Big Ten selections, one Big Ten Player of the Year, five Academic All-Americans and 17 Academic All-Big Ten honorees. The Hawkeyes have made six straight NCAA appearances, joining Illinois and Northwestern as the only Big Ten teams to be selected to NCAA Regional competition in each of the last six seasons.
Iowa completed its 2014 campaign with a ninth place finish at the NCAA Columbia Regional. Prior to the Hawkeyes sixth consecutive NCAA Regional appearance, Iowa captured two tournament titles (Hawkeye-GRE Invitational, ASU Thunderbird Invitational). Steven Ihm, Brian Bullington and Ian Vandersee all earned All-Big Ten and PING All-Region honors, while freshman Raymond Knoll joined the trio as an All-Region honoree. Iowa finished third at the Big Ten Championships for the second straight year, led by Steven Ihm, who was named to the All-Championships team. Iowa was the second-highest ranked league team during the season, climbing as high as 35th in the Golfstat rankings.
The Hawkeyes finished the 2013 season with an 11th place finish at the NCAA Southeast Regional in Tallahassee, Fla. Iowa had numerous successes during the season, including tying for first place at the Boilermaker Invite with a score of 878 (+14). Iowa shot a 1,186 (+34) during the Big Ten Championships at the Pete Dye Course in French Link, Ind., earning a third place finish. Both Steven Ihm and Joseph Winslow earned PING All-Region and All-Big Ten honors.
The 2012 season yielded a No. 27 spot in the final rankings, the highest of any Big Ten team. In addition, Iowa won the Hawkeye-Great River Entertainment Invitational with an 840 (-24), the third-lowest mark in program history. Iowa used a one over par final round (284) at the NCAA regional to qualify for the NCAA Championships, in which they finished 22nd. Iowa had an honorable mention All-American (Joseph Winslow), four PING All-Region honorees and three All-Big Ten award winners in 2012.
The Hawkeyes finished the 2011 season with the highest national ranking in school history (ninth). Of the five team tournament titles won in the 2010-11 season, Iowa won four consecutive titles in the fall. The Hawkeyes tied for 10th at the NCAA Championships, marking their highest finish since 1960. Hankins coached two All-Americans, three All-Big Ten performers and three Academic All-Americans in 2011. Leading the charge was third-team All-American Vince India, recipient of Big Ten Player of the Year honors and winner of the prestiguous Les Bolstad Trophy.
The 2010 Hawkeyes finished the season ranked 36th in the nation and earned their best Big Ten finish (second) since 1992. Additionally, the Hawkeyes picked up their second tournament title in as many seasons with a win at the 2010 TaylorMade-adidas Hawkeye Invitational. Iowa finished tied for sixth in the NCAA Central Regional.
The Hawkeyes' climb in the national rankings began in 2009 under Hankins. Iowa jumped from 155th to 54th during the season as it picked up its first tournament title since 2004 by winning the 2008 Landfall Tradition in Wilmington, N.C. Hankins coached the Black and Gold to a fifth place finish at the 2009 Southeast Regionals and a 17th place finish at the NCAA Championships in Toledo, OH; marking the first time the Hawkeyes qualified for the championships since 1995.
While at Michigan State, Hankins led the Spartans to 10 tournament titles, including two Big Ten Championships (2005 and 2007). In addition, he was voted Big Ten Coach of the Year twice by his peers (2005 and 2007). Hankins also guided Michigan State to five NCAA appearances in his seven years, including a 23rd place finish in the 2007 NCAA Division I National Championship.
Hankins' resume at Michigan State also includes 64 top-10 finishes, national rankings during three different seasons, including the fall 2004 season when his Spartan team was ranked seventh out of 290 Division I men's golf programs, 27 first team Academic All-Big Ten selections, two Academic All-Americans, two All-Americans, one Big Ten Freshman of the Year, and the first Big Ten Conference medalist in Michigan State men's golf history.
Hankins' coaching resume also includes a two-year stint as head coach at the University of Texas at Arlington. There, Hankins led the Mavericks to a top-25 ranking in 1998 and 1999 and led them to eight Division I collegiate tournament titles in two seasons, the most in Division I golf during that time. In addition, the Mavericks qualified for two-straight NCAA regional berths, one NCAA national qualifier, and captured the Southland Conference Championship in 1999.
Hankins worked a total of three years as an assistant coach for men and women, and associate head coach of the men's golf program at his alma mater, Iowa State University. From 1995-1997 he worked as associate head coach for the Cyclones. During this time, Iowa State advanced to two NCAA regional berths and won three tournament titles.
In his final season at Iowa State, the Cyclones broke every existing team record, including individual scoring average, tournament wins and NCAA Regional finish. His coaching experience also includes serving as head golf coach for the United States team that participated in the 2007 World University Games in Bangkok, Thailand.
In addition to coaching, Hankins has served as a professional at numerous country clubs and camps, including Ames Golf and Country Club, Cyclone Country Golf Camp, Cyclone Golf Academy, Des Moines Golf and Country Club and Iowa PGA Golf Academy. He is currently second vice president of the Golf Coaches Association of America. During his playing career, Hankins earned All-Big Eight Conference honors his senior season at Iowa State (1993). His personal best round of 66 set a Cyclone individual scoring record.
A three-time Academic All-Big Eight honoree (1988, 1991 and 1993), Hankins was also named an Academic All-American as a senior. He earned a bachelor's degree in psychology in 1993 and an MBA in 1997 from Iowa State.
In addition to collegiate competition, Hankins has played on the Nike Tour, Golden State Tour, Tommy Armour Tour and participated in PGA Tour Qualifying. Hankins said his expectations for the student-athletes who will compete for the UI under his direction will be to attain success both on the golf course and in the classroom.
"It's my responsibility to provide the platform for every member of our men's golf program to succeed athletically and academically. I want them to have a first-class experience and to graduate with a sense of pride about themselves and our university," he said.
"I am extremely excited by the support and enthusiasm the administration, alumni, and friends of the golf program have shown throughout my years at Iowa. Gary (Barta) has clearly made a commitment to winning championships in every sport, including men's golf, at the University of Iowa."

The debate in America about partial-birth abortion did a lot to shift public opinion in a pro-life direction, because it focused attention on what actually happens to the baby during an abortion – and what happens is not pleasant. That procedure was banned. But the D and E procedure is one among those that remains legal. In a D and E, the baby, while alive, is dismembered limb from limb. Medical textbooks and sworn court testimony describe how the abortionist pulls off the arms and legs and crushes the head.
Above and beyond any thoughts they have about abortion in the abstract, it's time to ask our fellow citizens what they think about D and E. Many who call themselves pro-choice nevertheless oppose this procedure. Find out more at stopdande.com.

Dog warden Paul L. Simmers faces 32 counts of second-degree misdemeanor animal cruelty in the deaths of 11 dogs and the procedures used to euthanize the animals at Ohio's Gallia County Animal Shelter, stated the complaint on Friday at the Gallipolis Municipal Court reported mydailyregister.com.
Also charged were an assistant, Jason Harris, with 12 counts of second-degree misdemeanor animal cruelty, and former dog warden, Jean L. Davis with 13 counts of second-degree misdemeanor animal cruelty.
On Valentine's Day, the Friends of Gallia County Animal Shelter posted about the deaths of the dogs who already had adoption commitments as well as all of their needed vaccinations before being transferred to their new homes:
"Well, I am getting ready to take another transport to Northeast. I think the count is 66 or 67 dogs whose lives will be saved. That is the good news. The bad news is that 11 dogs were euthanized at the pound this morning because the assistant warden couldn't wait a day for us to clean the facilities from the dogs who are leaving. We pull them out as fast as we can and find rescue organizations who will accept them but this time we were not fast enough. I am heartbroken, this is a terrible way to die."
Read the complete story by clicking here.
Although the Gallia County Animal Shelter is known as a high-kill shelter, volunteers had been successful transporting many of the pets to out of town adopters.
The Ohio Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals launched their own investigation into the deaths of the dogs, including rumors of dogs being brutally killed by "heart stick" injections; a procedure where sodium pentobarbital is injected directly into the heart of the animal. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, the "heart stick" method should only be used on heavily sedated or unconscious animals.
Simmers has been charged with injecting sodium pentobarbital into the shoulder and hip areas of the dogs to sedate them. Experts state those injections cause excruciating pain to the animals when injected into muscles and is considered an "unacceptable practice."
The charges against Simmer, Daniel and Harris range from March 16, 2012, to Feb. 14, 2014
More than 3,300 people signed a petition to remove Jason Harris as the assistant dog warden citing the following heartbreaking statements:
"Did Mr. Harris choose to kill aggressive dogs? No! He killed two dogs with such stellar temperaments that they had been fully sponsored for vetting by local people. He killed dogs who were friendly to cats, kids, to other dogs large and small and friendly to all adults. He killed dogs who were leash trained and who knew a few commands. He killed the sweetest and gentlest souls at the pound!!!!"
If found guilty, each charge carries a maximum punishment of 90 days in jail, $750 in fines, five year probation, and 200 hours of community service.
"Many thanks to the Friends of Gallia County Animal Services for not giving up," stated Connie Sevarie of Miami Beach, Fla. who has been following the case closely since February.
The three are scheduled for another court hearing March 25.

It's one of those recipes that is guaranteed to generate some outrage and indignation: Take a list of public employees, stir in some information about salaries, and add a dash of high-paid college coaches.The reaction is certain to include cries comparing the million-dollar salaries of coaches to those of elementary and high school teachers. Or claiming that high salaries are the reason for increasing tuition costs. Or suggesting that coaches reflect state spending run amok.
Such was the case this week when the state's Office of Financial Management released its list of the highest-paid public employees in Washington.
Topping the rankings is University of Washington football coach Steve Sarkisian, who made $2,529,168 in 2011, including salary, bonuses, and additional compensation. Sarkisian was followed by UW basketball coach Lorenzo Romar; Washington State basketball coach Ken Bone; then-WSU football coach Paul Wulff; and then-UW football assistant coach Nick Holt.
One certainly can make an argument that it is outrageous for a football coach to make $2.5 million while many state workers are facing layoffs or dealing with public debate about the level of benefits they receive. But if citizens are going to sustain an informed conversation about such issues, a couple points need to be raised:
• Sarkisian and other coaches in big-time college sports are paid from ticket revenues, television contracts, and other fundraising methods tied to their sport. They are not paid from the general fund that comes from tuition and supports the university's academic mission.
• High-profile sports, particularly football, help pay for athletic teams that do not generate enough revenue to be self-sustaining.
• The football coaches at Washington and Washington State are the most publicly visible employees at their universities, and they are in a position where poor performance can quickly lead to a spot in the unemployment line.
This is not meant to justify football coaches receiving the salaries that they do. It is meant to redirect the outrage in the proper direction. The problem, it would seem, isn't that football coaches are the most visible employees at a university; it's that our society has allowed high-profile coaches to be removed from the university's educational mission.
Sarkisian makes a lot of money because the athletic department at the University of Washington generates a lot of money. In an age when any discussion of tax increases to support public employees — including teachers — is met with an apoplectic "How could they?," thousands of people willingly spent thousands of dollars on football tickets and donations and apparel declaring their allegiance to their favorite school.
Discussions about the salaries and benefits of public employees have been a popular topic in recent years, and The Columbian on several occasions has editorially called for state and local governments to make cuts in order to adjust for dire budget shortfalls. Those discussions don't apply to coaches when athletic departments are allowed to operate within their own little fiefdoms. They don't apply when coaches are nearly as beholden to shoe companies as they are to the school they represent.
The list of the highest-paid public employees in Washington always is good for creating discussion, but it is important to keep that discussion in perspective. Comparing the compensation of high-profile coaches with that of teachers is a case of comparing apples to oranges, and that economic reality does not reflect well upon society's priorities.

A visionary when it comes to presentation and aesthetic narrative, Mac Folkes has had a profound influence on the fashion industry as an art director, event designer and international model consultant and coach. After returning to art school to pursue a degree in Visual Presentation and Exhibit Design, Folkes discovered a language to express his diverse experiences and unique visual eye for clients such as Elite and NY Models as well as Tiwimuta. He has now dedicated his unconventional approach to fashion and art to the launch of "artifact" publication The Slant. For the most recent installment in our Fashion Rethinkers series, we chatted with Folkes about the necessary distinction between print and digital, his concerns for the fashion industry and what he thinks will help improve it.
JC Report: What's the idea behind your unique, tactile presentation format?
Mac Folkes: Our vow was to create an object that people wanted to have and to hold and to retain for the future. In short, we wanted to create a lasting artifact—something shaped by human craft and produced with skill.
JCR: What do you think you're changing with this concept?
MF: Our intention is to challenge the notion of what a printed periodical can be.
JCR: The digital media has questioned the validity of print publications. Are you competing or joining the movement?
MF: Neither, I think pitting digital against print as a winner-takes-all fight to the death creates a fallacy of false choice. In the end, video didn't kill the radio star after all.
JCR: Is this the future of magazines?
MF: I think it's the future for publications that wish to invoke and inspire, not solely to be a conduit to further a consumerist agenda.
JCR: What's the revenue model?
MF: There is no advertising so it will live or die based on the merit of the work and its ability to connect with people.
JCR: What was the publishing/fashion environment like at the beginning of your career?
MF: There has been a collective shift. Where [it was] once helmed by creatives and visionaries, marketers and merchants now steer the ship, setting us all adrift.
JCR: What did you want to change in the fashion system then?
MF: There's far too much of everything—too many brands, too many seasons, too much fast fashion. I strongly endorse the creed: "We don't need more things, we need better things."
JCR: Are there aspects of the fashion system today that need to change?
MF: Fashion is overexposed; it's lost all its highlights and details.
JCR: In your estimation, what will be the benefit of this change?
MF: A little more art and a little less commerce would greatly benefit us all.
JCR: Where does your iconoclastic approach stem from?
MF: My Jamaican immigrant upbringing was informed by two fellow countrymen and heroes Grace Jones and Bob Marley. Grace personifies artistry and Bob spits truth. Bob sang "Stir It Up" and I succumbed to the siren call.

Hi There -
I have been working close to 7 years in PowerBuilder. I wanna get a professional certifiicate in PB
Could someone please help with details regarding this?
Thanks in advance :-)
Hi Krishna ;
The certification program for PB was shelved back in PB v10.0. Recently, SAP has revived the certification program at the "Associate" level for PB v12.5.x .... https://training.sap.com/v2/certification/c_spbda_125-sap-certified-development-associate---development-consultant-for-powerbuilder-1251-g/
AFAIK there is no "Professional" level currently.
Regards .. Chris
Hi Chris -
Thanks for the clarification. Really helpful
But I don't find any course material or anything of that sort for the exam mentioned
Do you have any idea on where I could get material for this exam?
For example, for Oracle, there are Oracle Press books, which really cover every exam objective
I am looking for something comprehensive like that. Thanks in advance
Actually, this is the kind of advice that helps ensure that the certification program is meaningless. All this does is ensure that people who get certified know how to memorize a couple hundred answers to questions, rather than actually knowing how to use the product.
Hi Bruce;
That was the beauty of the CPD-P (professional) level as the questions were much harder plus we had to develop a working PB application from a random specification. When you earned this level, you demonstrated a much more practical & working knowledge of PB.
I treasure this certification level and then the CSI ones I have above that.
Regards ... Chris
Hi Krishna;
We are both Hyerabad fans then ... one fan in India the other in Canada!
This is the kind of web content that SAP needs to develop for PB.
Regards ... Chris
That's great :-)
Not sure if SAP has a plan, though, to develop a material repository?
Certifications would be a pleasure to do with the availability of proper material :-)
I did my SCJP way back in 2007, using a book from Cathy Sierra and Bert Bates. I didn't know anything about Java then, but it was a joy ride, to be frank

Jeff Edwards
President and CEO
Bigger, lighter and less expensive compressed natural gas (CNG) tanks may soon revolutionize the natural gas vehicle industry and one Utah company is a key player in this new effort.
Hypercomp Engineering Inc. (HEI), located in Brigham City, has been a key member of Utah's Advanced Composites Industry Group since its founding in 1996. Today, HEI is supporting the collaboration of 3M and Chesapeake Energy Corporation in the design, manufacture and marketing of a broad portfolio of compressed natural gas (CNG) tanks for use in all sectors of the United States transportation market.
Tom Hannum, director of business development for HEI, says the company will provide design and certification services for the tanks, while 3M will manufacture the tanks and focus its capital on future operations and production. 3M expects the new tanks to be available for sale during the fourth quarter of 2012.
Increased Hiring
HEI currently employs a dozen people at its Brigham City location and plans to hire an undisclosed number of additional employees to meet the demands of this new project. EDCUtah President & CEO Jeff Edwards says the engineering and development work represents a timely boost for the hard hit northern Utah economy and also for Utah's aerospace cluster.
"Tom has been the tireless advocate for alternative energy projects and the benefits of using advanced composites to make vehicles safer and more fuel efficient," Edwards continues. "We are excited to see HEI get this work."
According to a recent 3M press release, the CNG tank solution combines the company's proprietary liner advancements, thermoplastic materials, barrier films and coatings, and damage-resistant films to transform the pressure vessel industry. "Using nanoparticle-enhanced resin technology, 3M Matrix Resin for Pressure Vessels, 3M will create CNG tanks that are 10 to 20 percent lighter with 10 to 20 percent greater capacity, all at a lower cost than standard vessels," the press release says. "In addition to these benefits, the 3M technology produces safer and more durable tanks than those currently on the market. This tank innovation builds on 3M's proven history of developing and introducing pioneering technologies to the market."
$10 Million Pledge
For its part, Chesapeake has pledged an initial $10 million toward design and certification services, market development support and a commitment to use the new tanks for its corporate fleet conversion to CNG, according to the release.
"The company's investment will be provided by Chesapeake NG Ventures Corporation (CNGV), established in 2011 to identify and invest in companies and technologies that will replace the use of gasoline and diesel derived primarily from foreign oil. CNGV has committed $1 billion over the next 10 years to help fund various initiatives to increase demand for natural gas, including investments totaling $300 million in Clean Energy Fuels Corp. and privately-held Sundrop Fuels, Inc.," the release says.
Hannum says developing highly engineered carbon fiber pressure vessels for challenging requirements and applications is one of HEI's core competencies. The company has a background in the aerospace industry (its founder, James Patterson, and senior managers all came of Thiokol). Further, HEI's primary customers have been in defense, aerospace, automotive, industrial, oil and gas infrastructure and offshore oil and gas industries. The company also has a strategic relationship with Chesterfield Cylinders in Europe for the development of specialized cylinders.
3M and HEI
Concerning this new opportunity, Hannum says HEI has been working with 3M for several years doing material evaluations. "A result of this relationship is that we have been contracted to provide design and certification services for pressure vessel applications using 3M materials," he adds. "We've been involved in the development of this technology since the late 90s. We've been a known entity in this industry since then in terms of design and engineering services."
The trifecta of economics, politics and environment are driving the macroeconomics surrounding alternative fuels and seems to be bringing this opportunity to the forefront right now, Hannum explains. "The circumstances seem to be converging in favor of this technology for alternative fuel more than at any time in the recent past. We think things are aligning in a way that should definitely allow us to leverage the investment we have made in time and energy in composites pressure vessel design. This has been a process for many years. We are optimistic to see the environment take shape right now that favors this technology.
Governor Gary Herbert's office has focused on expanding Utah's advanced composites cluster due to the Wasatch Front's heritage in composites industry and large population of industry, academia and skill sets that are very familiar with advanced composites. For that reason, Edwards says Utah has a significant advantage recruiting both composites work and composites companies. Hence, Utah will be in a favorable position to compete for the final manufacturing of 3M's CNG tanks.
3M says in its press release that increased political support and private investment have made natural gas a viable automotive fuel alternative with large growth potential. With more than a 100-year supply of natural gas in the United States and an average price per gasoline gallon equivalent of $1.00 to $2.00, the fuel is plentiful, affordable and domestic. The fuel also burns more cleanly than gasoline, cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent and particulate matter by 95 percent.

Share of workers experiencing unemployment at record low
December 16, 1998
Of the more than 145 million persons who participated in the labor force in 1997, 15.6 million were unemployed at some point during the year. This translates into a "work-experience unemployment rate" of barely 10.8 percent.
[Chart data—TXT]
At 10.8 percent, the work-experience unemployment rate is the lowest it has been since the series was first calculated in 1958. The percentage of workers with some unemployment had been nearly 16 percent in the recession trough of 1991, and almost as high in 1992, the first full year of recovery.
The work experience measure of unemployment counts anyone who was unemployed at any time during the year. Because people move into and out of unemployment all the time, this count was more than twice the number unemployed in the average month of 1997.
These data are a product of the Current Population Survey. Additional information is available from news release USDL 98-470, "Work Experience of the Population in 1997."

After two decades of being married to producer Kathleen Glynn, American filmmaker Michael Moore, famous for social commentary documentaries including Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11, have divorced. Married for 22 years, Michael filed a divorce complaint in June 2013. Details were received July 25, 2014.
After a year, the couple have finalized the details of their separation. which Moore's website confirmed: "Kathleen and Michael have mutually and amicably reached a divorce settlement".
An American filmmaker, author, social critic, and political activist Michael Francis Moore was born April 23, 1954 in Flint, Michigan and raised in Davison, a suburb of Flint.
Moore dropped out of the University of Michigan–Flint following his first year (where he wrote for the student newspaper The Michigan Times). At 22 he founded the alternative weekly magazine The Flint Voice, which soon changed its name to The Michigan Voice as it expanded to cover the entire state.
In 1986, when Moore became the editor of Mother Jones magazine, (a position from which he would later be fired) he moved to California and The Michigan Voice was shut down.
Moore shot to prominence with his documentary Roger & Me, his Emmy Award winning 1989 film, a documentary about what happened to Flint, Michigan, after General Motors closed its factories and opened new ones in Mexico, where the workers were paid much less>
He cemented his prominence as a documentarian with the release of Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004), which is the highest-grossing documentary of all time and winner of the Palme d'Or. Released just three years after the horrific events of 9/11, Moore used the medium of film to ask uncomfortable questions of George Bush and his administration following the catastrophe in September 2001.
In 2005 Time magazine named Moore one of the world's 100 most influential people. Later in 2005, Moore founded the Traverse City Film Festival held annually in Traverse City, Michigan.
In 2009, he co-founded the Traverse City Comedy Festival, also held annually in Traverse City, where Moore helped spearhead the renovation of the historic downtown State Theater.

daytime sleep study
The OLBH Sleep Lab offers flexible daytime sleep studies for individuals who cannot complete an overnight sleep study due to working schedules, etc. When scheduling a study at the OLBH Sleep Lab, simply have your referring physician request a daytime sleep study. Daytime sleep studies are performed Monday-Friday.
MSLT or multiple sleep latency test
A multiple sleep latency test (MLST) is required to diagnose certain
sleep disorders. These tests are performed at the OLBH Sleep Lab during
the daytime hours, and are only done after you have had an overnight
sleep study at the center.
The MSLT consists of four to five short naps throughout the day at two-hour intervals. Each nap typically lasts for 20-30 minutes, and you must stay awake after each nap until it is time for the next one.

Access to infrastructure is a key driver for reducing poverty and promoting shared prosperity. In Bangladesh, where economic growth has accelerated steadily over the past decades, about a third of the country's estimated 166 million inhabitants remain below the poverty line, and a large portion of the population still has little or no access to electricity or clean energy sources. ... See More + In rural areas of the country, where more than 70 percent of Bangladesh's inhabitants live, the electrification rate is about 50 percent. The dispersed nature of rural settlements and the presence of numerous rivers make grid electrification difficult and often prohibitively expensive. Off-grid renewable energy is therefore the only realistic option for electricity provision in many areas of the country. In response to these needs and challenges, Bangladesh has developed the world's largest and most dynamic national off-grid electrification scheme, a Solar Homes System (SHS) program benefitting more than 18 million people to date, and yielding lessons that may be applicable to other countries considering off-grid solutions for energy access.

Bangladesh has made remarkable progress in raising living standards and reducing poverty, particularly in previously lagging regions. Rapid solar home system (SHS) expansion in Bangladesh to some 3 million rural households by early 2014 has drawn the attention of donors and governments of other countries. ... See More + The books broad aim is twofold: (a) to assess the welfare impact of SHS on households, and (b) to evaluate the present institutional structure and financing mechanisms in place, noting that households want cheaper systems and good quality service while suppliers require a reasonable market-based profit to stay in business. The study entailed an intensive empirical investigation based on both primary and secondary data. The primary data consisted mainly of a large-scale, nationally representative household survey with appropriate geographic spread. Conducted in 2012 by the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS) and assisted by the World Bank, the household survey was designed to examine SHS benefits and costs. The book addresses a number of research issues, which are grouped according to general and gendered household impact, program delivery and monitoring of technical standards, market size and demand, and carbon emissions reduction. The book also analyzes household uses of solar-electric energy services. Typically, SHS models are used for lighting, powering fans and television sets, and charging mobile devices and other electrical equipment. Finally, the book evaluates the gender-disaggregated benefits and women's empowerment from SHS adoption. The gender analysis included two major research questions: (a) can the socioeconomic status of rural women be enhanced by increasing the opportunity to participate in alternative energy-service delivery, and (b) if SHS brings positive impacts in terms of social indicators, what additional efforts can supplement them to bring about a radical shift in gender roles and responsibilities. The book's findings show that better household lighting improves household welfare both directly and indirectly. The book has eight chapters. Chapter one is introduction. Chapter two describes the current status of Bangladesh's SHS expansion program, including salient features of system operation, as well as program delivery and financing. Chapter three reviews the role of electrification in rural development and international experience in using SHS as a complementary solution in remote off-grid areas. Based on the survey data findings, chapter four identifies the major drivers of SHS adoption and system capacity selection at the household and village level, while chapter five discusses and estimates the welfare benefits. Chapter six focuses on SHS market analysis and role of the subsidy, including consumers' willingness to pay and the potential impact of subsidy phase-out. Chapter seven turns to the quality of partner organization (PO) service and other supply-side issues, along with market constraints to meet future demand. Finally, chapter eight offers policy perspectives and a way forward. See Less -

This knowledge note is the second of three case studies that concerns scaling up access to electricity in Africa, Bangladesh, and Rwanda. Since its inception in 2003, Bangladesh's solar home system program has installed about three million electrification systems in rural households, two-thirds of them in the last three years. ... See More + The program is the most dynamic off-grid electrification program in the world, benefitting more than 15 million people and contributing about 130 MW in renewable energy generation capacity. The case study for Bangladesh is interesting, because off-grid electrification is crucial to reaching universal access. Achieving universal access to modern energy services is one of the three complementary objectives of the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative. Bangladesh's rural electrification program was initiated in 1977 with the creation of the Rural Electrification Board (REB). Yet, it was estimated that at the prevailing pace of grid electrification, Bangladesh was going to take 50 years to reach universal access. By 2002, it had become apparent that an off-grid approach was needed to complement efforts to extend the grid. When the World Bank's first RERED project was being designed in 2002, a two-pronged approach was adopted to promote the use of solar home systems in rural areas, thereby leveraging the country's renewable energy potential, while continuing to help the REB and rural cooperatives improve their operational and financial performance. The programs final design is a good example of how international experience and local know-how can come together to yield an innovative design that suits the country's circumstances. The project's design was flexible (with a range of subsidies and system sizes, for example), allowing for quick adaptation to evolving technology and market conditions, and to consumer feedback.

A renewable energy program in Bangladesh that brings solar power to rural households is one of the most successful solar home system (SHS) programs in the world. ... See More + It has demonstrated an inexpensive and reliable way to bring electricity to rural households. Several output-based aid (OBA) features have contributed to the success. Notably, the subsidy payment makes the installation of a working solar home system affordable to poorer households, and is combined with longer-term consumer credit. This note explores the distinctive features and results of the program and draws lessons for future projects. See Less -

Lake Robertson - Fishing Opportunities
Largemouth Bass
For the angler looking for plenty of largemouth bass action in western Virginia, Lake Robertson is the place to go. Bass are abundant and several have been caught over 10 pounds. Early spring moves large females in shore, in search of food after a long winter. Beaver lodges and introduced cedar tree and hinge tree attractors are good holding areas for quality largemouths. During May and June, the edge of massive weed beds are a sure bet, especially around dusk. Surface action can be tough at times, so deep diving artificials and live bait can produce some quality fishing.
Channel Catfish
Channel catfish were not a major component of the fishery at Lake Robertson prior to 1993. At that time, large catfish were introduced at a reduced stocking rate, and that proved to be the key to their current success. The thinking was that the largemouth bass population was so dominant in the lake that the fingerling catfish were being consumed before they were recruited to the fishery. Stocking 10 - 12 inch cats eliminated immediate predation by young bass, giving them an opportunity to grow into their new environment. The result is a healthy population of channel catfish in the 15 - 30 inch size range. Many catfish are caught from the bank at Lake Robertson on nightcrawlers, minnows, and chicken livers.
Several species of panfish are present in Lake Robertson. Bluegill are abundant and the population is well structured with good numbers of 6 - 8 inch fish. Look for big gills near beaver lodges and brush structures in early spring. Redear sunfish, also known as shellcrackers, were once very prevalent. Their numbers have declined in recent years, so they were recently stocked to give them a presence in the lake once again. Redear's are popular because they are often caught in excess of one pound. Pumpkinseed, redbreast sunfish, and warmouths also populate the clear waters of Lake Robertson, however their size is small and their numbers are few.
This member of the perch family is a very popular sportfish in the upper Midwest because of its size and flavor. Walleye were thought to do well in Lake Robertson because of it's clear waters and ample forage, so they were first stocked in 1983. Walleye, stocked as fingerlings, grow well here and have attained sizes up to 7 pounds. Their population is small, but ample numbers of quality size fish are present to create some diversity to fishing stringers. Walleye, best caught at night or on cloudy days, can be caught with bright jigs around wood structure or rip-rap.

There won't be three bigger fights this year than the Sergio Martinez-Miguel Cotto fight, which will, unless it goes off the rails in the ninth inning of negotiations, take place June 7 at the Madison Square Garden big room.
Many folks I talk to seem to think that Sergio Martinez, a natural at middleweight, will get the better of Cotto. Needless to say, Cotto's trainer Freddie Roach spits in their eye. He explained to me why the 2014 Miguel Cotto is a dangerous animal, and a better version of the guy we saw losing to Floyd Mayweather and Austin Trout.
"He wasn't getting along with his trainer, and when you don't get along with your trainer, it's not a good situation," Roach told me. Dedham Freddie knows Cotto and trainers are like Kardashians and marriage but he says Cotto hasn't said no to anything and they get along. Cotto has been present for 5 AM runs and he expects the same for this camp, he said.
The left hook to the body, what Roach calls Cotto's best shot, returned against Delvin Rodriguez last October.
"Why'd you stop throwing that shot?" Roach said he asked the Puerto Rican.
"I don't know," Cotto confessed.
"You won't do it if you don't practice it," Roach counseled the fighter.
He said ex trainer Pedro Diaz hadn't pushed him to use it, so, Roach said he did, and will. That is his "bread and butter" which Martinez would have to respect, he stated. There was no bread, and no butter, from Cotto in the Austin Trout fight, but he's now back in form, Freddie said. "The Austin Trout fight, Miguel didn't show up for it," Freddie noted.
Delivering that left hook to the body against a lefty is harder, Freddie admitted, but he will explain the technical necessities to make sure it lands properly, he said. "It's a little more difficult against a lefty, you have to set it up better, you have to use a little decoy. I think we can beat Martinez down the middle. I had a gameplan with Chavez Jr. against Sergio. His defense is pretty poor, if you exchange with him, let your hands go with him, he's very hittable. Chavez didn't do that till the last round, you saw what happened! And, Chavez only trained five days for that fight. So, I will have a guy who comes in great shape and will listen to me and use the gameplan, and I think we're gonna have a good fight.
"I like Martinez, he's a good guy. At one point I saw him, and said hi, and he said, 'I thought you didn't like me.' It's just talk," Roach said, candidly. "I don't dislike anybody. But I think I have the better fighter."
Regarding that weight class...Roach said the catchweight will be 159 pounds. "My guy is going to come in the ring about 154, 155, that's his best fighting weight. Weight doesn't win fights, boxing ability does. Sergio is actually a small guy himself, he's always said he's a welterweight."
So there you go, readers. Freddie has laid out his case, made some good points why Cotto could get the nod in one of the most eagerly anticipated bouts of 2014. Do you agree? Disagree? Weigh in, in our Forum.
Follow Woods on Twitter.
Freddie sold me on this one. He's got a point, once Chavez finally exchanged while Martinez was attacking he was able to rock him.
I'm leaning towards Cotto in this one.
I'm riding shotgun with U-shogun. MC is gonna hurt SM with left hooks to the ribs and the temples. SM will have no legs -- less alone any defense or stand-his-ground fight. Holla!
Just fight at 160 forget the one lb drop in catchweight. SM has been injured and shelved for too long now, plus he is wearing down a lot the last two years.
This is a great matchup. If SM is healthy and in peak shape he may be able to keep Cotto on the outside all night and blister him with jabs and straight lefts. Sergio can crack, people forget because he has changed his style up recently.
All depends on what Sergio has left.
Floyd missed the boat. He has the opportunity to win a legit MW belt against a legit although fading MW champ. SM remains a risk I assume that is why he has no interest.
Both combatants have had their ups and downs and at this point are in it for the money. But I have to go with
Cotto, he's an old school fighter with the a resume against better opposition. Martinez is a better athlete than
a fighter, and would win a soccer match or bike race between the two. In the ring, Cotto 's expertize in big fights
will be the difference.
Martinez put himself in harms way with the Chavez fight, there was a reason Chavez couldn't get to him earlier; Martinez kept him at bay and outboxed him. He got caught in the 12th it happens. But his injuries sustained in that fight carried over, hopefully he's all healed up now. Freddy Roach is a great talker.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

I have two infinite-dimensional convex polytopes, call them $A$ and $B$. I know that $B$ is completely contained within $A$, and I want to say something meaningful about their relative sizes.
From what I have read, it seems that most infinite dimensional objects have infinite dimensional measure of either $0$ or $1$, so comparing the ratio of their infinite dimensional "volumes" seems to be a futile exercise.
Any ideas about how to quantify how much bigger $A$ is than $B$?

Prelim Day 2 Results in PDF Format Live Scoring Link
FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - In the first full day of action at the Pac-10 Swimming and Diving Championships at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center, the Wildcats posted 13 athletes into evening heats including three into championship finals.
Alyssa Anderson led the way for UA as she recorded the fastest time in the 500 freestyle, 4:41.87, just out-touching her little sister, Haley of USC, by three hundredths of a second. Alyssa will swim out of lane four tonight with Haley right next to her in lane five. The elder Anderson will be vying for her second Pac-10 title in the 500 free.
Also earning consolation swims in the 500 were senior Susana Helms and freshman Lindsay Seemann. Helms was 12th overall in 4:48.31 followed by Seemann in 15th at 4:49.33. Monica Drake qualified for the C heat with a time of 4:51.11, good for 19th overall in prelims.
Arizona did not have a championship heat qualifier in the 200 I.M. but did have junior Hannah Ross squeak into the consolation heat in 16th place with a time of 2:01.04. Chelsey Salli and Dana Christ will each swim in the C heat of the 200 I.M. also recording times of 2:01.65 and 2:02.23.
In the 50 freestyle sprint, freshman Margo Geer was sixth overall with a time of 22.40 and will swim in the championship heat later tonight against a heavy field of Cardinal and Golden Bear reps. Fellow freshmen Kait Flederbach and Grace Finnegan also achieved consolation swims in the 50 as they posted times of 22.87 and 23.01, respectively.
Sarah Denninghoff and Aubrey Peacock will both swim in the C heat for the Wildcats as they charted times of 23.02 and 23.30 as well.
In diving action, freshman Samantha Pickens earned her way into the championship final in the women's 1-meter springboard by scoring a 298.35 over six dives. Pickens was the third-highest qualifer in the event. Ainsley Oliver just missed making the top eight as well as she finished 10th overall with a score of 263.30.

Season 16 of "Big Brother" has officially started, and fans are excited about what lies ahead. There are a lot of twists and changes in place for this season, and it will be interesting to see how things play out. Fans are anxious for "Big Brother" spoilers, and thanks to the live feeds on Friday morning, the week 1 nominations have been revealed.
Caleb Reynolds and Frankie Grande are the two Head of Household winners for week 1, so they both get to nominate two people. As Big Brother Network notes, Caleb has nominated Paola and Donny. Frankie has chosen to nominate Victoria and Brittany. It seems both Frankie and Caleb justified their choices by choosing the houseguests who were out first during their respective HOH competitions.
Granted with the twists this summer on "BB16," there is a lot more slated to happen before anybody is evicted. This season introduces the Battle of the Block competition where the two pairs of nominated houseguests face off against one another, and the stakes are high. The team that wins is taken off the nomination block. "Big Brother" spoilers from the live feeds seemingly indicate that Victoria and Brittany won, meaning they are off the block and Frankie is no longer HOH.
The Power of Veto competition should take place later Friday, so stay tuned for more "Big Brother" spoilers. Will the first POV winner shake things up at all regarding the nominations, or choose to lay low and see how things play out? There's a lot of buzz regarding targets for eviction this week, and it will be interesting to see just how quickly the hard-core game play starts.
Stay tuned for more "Big Brother" spoilers throughout the weekend as the players start aligning and strategizing. Do you have any season 16 favorites already? What do you think of the twists revealed so far? Tune in to "Big Brother 2014" airing on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday nights on CBS.
