Eagle County Commissioners Jon Stavney, Sara Fisher and Jill Ryan took turns presenting the State of the County Address on Tuesday and the mood was merrier than last year's address.
The commissioners pointed to many benchmarks reached in 2012, especially the county's continued ability to do more with less during a tough economy.
With property tax revenues projected to drop by another 20 percent, or $3.2 million, Eagle County's budget has had to get even tighter after years of consolidating staff and resources while maintaining or increasing service levels. Since 2009, the county has cut operating expenses by $12.6 million.
Expenditures for 2013 are budgeted at $86.6 million with total revenues estimated to be $90.5 million.
Unlike last year's somber, financially laden address, however, the vibe of Tuesday's assembly was upbeat.
"Our staff has done a great job with tremendous challenges," Stavney said.
As the newest member of the board, Ryan had the honors of delivering the bulk of the address.
Fisher pointed out that Ryan is only the third woman to be elected commissioner in the county's history and that this is the first time two women have been on the board at the same time. Ryan and Fisher are Democrats.
Johnnette Phillips, a Republican, became the county's first female commissioner when she was elected in 1992. She served two terms in that office.
"We have more women as elected officials than ever before," Fisher said. "I'll add that among the county employees in this room right now, 46 are women and 45 are men."
Before Ryan took over the presentation, though, Stavney mentioned "three items of strategic importance" that happened in 2012 - the county locked in a contract for 5 acres in Eagle Ranch to build a new assisted living facility; the open space program had a banner year, securing millions of dollars in grants for properties and projects across the county, especially along the Colorado River; and the first of many improvements were made at the Eagle County Regional Airport, which included an expanded security checkpoint and retail space. The airport is also finishing the update of its 20-year master plan, which has been a huge undertaking and is likely to finish this summer, Stavney said.
Stavney also cited it was a big deal to complete refinancing of Lake Creek Apartments in Edwards with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
"That is freeing up about $6 million for us to put into this deal (for the assisted living facility)," Stavney said. "A lot of bench marks will be coming up - stay tuned."
Building a senior care facility in the county is something local officials have discussed for decades. The commissioners signed a purchase agreement for the property in July.
Ryan started her speech talking about the ongoing drought.
"The county is heavily involved with wildland fire preparations and emergency management," she said. "The county is also getting ready to construct an emergency operations center (EOC) that will be critical in a wildfire and other events."
Eagle County received a $100,000 grant last month to build the EOC in the basement of the county building. The grant is conditional on the county matching it with the same amount. The EOC is expected to be operational by the fall.
"The county's public safety personnel have also been involved with planning for the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships (at Beaver Creek)," Ryan said.
She went on to talk about environmental sustainability.
"I will champion our efforts to be 'green,'" she said, referring to environmentally friendly practices. "The county already has several projects in the works. These are important because they are not only Earth friendly, but some also generate revenue and extensive cost savings."
She mentioned the county's Energy Smart and ECO-Build programs, the county's first year of recycling electronics and efforts to use less paper in county business.
"Economic development in our world-resort region goes hand in hand with protecting our natural resources," she said. "I am a member of a newly formed group - the Economic Development Leadership Council, which has about 30 members from industry, the county, municipal governments and others. When I was campaigning, I heard a lot about how the county needs to come together and work on community development efforts."
Ryan said key strategies include expansion of businesses, diversification of industries, new business recruitment, promoting tourism and recreation year-round - "especially in the shoulder seasons and downvalley. We need to attract more tourists in the Eagle-Gypsum area," she said. "Securing and maintaining a workforce is important, too."
"Finally, speaking of maintaining a workforce, another future project is building a community health center," Ryan said. "Between 20 and 35 percent of our residents don't have health insurance. A community health center would provide primary care, physical, behavioral and mental health services to anyone regardless of insurance status."
Ryan said the county, Vail Valley Medical Center, Mountain Family Health Center in Glenwood Springs and other entities are collaborating on the project.
"We're hoping to get this up and running within the year," she said. "If you don't have a healthy workforce then you don't have an economically viable workforce."

Bell's Brewery Offers Best Brown Ale, a Simple Seasonal Selection
Published: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 3:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 3:28 p.m.
Bell's Brewery
Best Brown Ale
Michigan's Bell's Brewery makes Best Brown Ale as a fall/winter seasonal noteworthy for its simplicity.
Based on an English brown, Best Brown pulls no gimmicks, no adjunct spices with a holiday theme. Expect a straightforward beer marked by deep, toffee malt with traces of toasted nuts, brown sugar and a trace of chocolate.
The use of domestic hops adds a kick of citrus and pine, keeping Best Brown decidedly American, unlike the British variety, which tend to be less bitter.
Bell's Best Brown Ale is 5.8 percent alcohol by volume, and widely available until stocks disappear.

Pale lavender (goes on invisibly)
The founding partner of Urban Decay swears by this stuff (and so do legions of UD fans)!
Use this shine-stopping pressed powder anytime to blot oil and keep shine at bay. The lavender shade applies invisibly and works on every skin tone. Try it on naked skin (if you run into the hot guy at the gym), or over foundation (for touchups on the dance floor without destroying your makeup). Because the formula contains super lightweight, oil-absorbing rice powder, you won't feel the powder, but you'll see the shine-free results.
Because it's made from rice powder, this lightweight, super-absorbent formula not only banishes shine, but actually absorbs oil. Most pressed powders mix with the skin's natural oils and can end up looking cakey on your complexion, but not De-Slick. And it's infused with healing green tea extract to calm and soothe sensitive skin.
This shine-fighting formula comes in a luxe Lucite compact with a pretty-but-edgy design drenched in UD's signature dark purple (so you'll look as good applying it as you will afterward).
|Talc, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch, Tricaprylin, Calcium Carbonate, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbic Acid, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Methicone, Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum, Huile Minerale), Phenoxyethanol, May Contain (+/-):, CI 77742 (Manganese Violet), CI 77007 (Ultramarines)

Comments about Urban Decay De-Slick Mattifying Powder, 1 ea:
I usually pull this out half way through the day to blot my face. With my oily skin, i find that this does the job at temporarily mattifying my t-zone (without adding color) for another 2hours or so. My only concern is that it can leave a white powdery cast right after applying; so it is NOT "transparent" on my medium (Asian) skin tone. I will not repurchase because I would like to find a more natural looking blotting powder.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Often overlooked in favor of its neighbor to the east, Portugal is a country rich in history, culture, and memorable sites, and well worth discovering. On a Globus tour of Portugal, you might stroll through medieval Obidos, visit the tomb of explorer Vasco da Gama at Lisbon's Jeronimos Monastery, marvel at Conimbriga's Roman ruins, or tour Henry the Navigator's Promontory of Sagres near Cape St. Vincent. Or…perhaps you will find yourself standing in the shadows of a 14th-century castle in the charming town of Belmonte or lighting a candle and joining the pilgrim procession in mystical Fátima. Of course, in addition to all the must-see sites and most popular cities, Globus also includes special experiences and encounters, like a tasting at the famed Sandeman & Co. port wine cellar…or a fascinating ride on the iconic elevator to upper Lisbon.
This vacation shows you all of Portugal at a relaxed pace, thanks to the well-planned 2-night stopovers in Lisbon, Oporto, and the Algarve, and overnights also in Tomar, Viseu, and Evora. Start and end in Lisbon, and see the interior and almost the entire coastline of Portugal. ...Read More.

Thursday's letters: Bad medicine
Published: Thursday, August 1, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 7:08 p.m.
To the editor: Mike Towers July 21 column claiming Cal Thomas column to be wrong about the Affordable Care Act is, itself, wrong.
Who ever heard of a government program that increases services and reduces costs as claimed by Barack Obama? The supposed cost reductions come from a $716 billion reduction to Medicare Advantage together with reduced payment schedules for doctors and hospitals.
Already, many doctors are refusing to accept Medicare patients due to approved payments that hardly cover their costs. Lower payment caps of Obamacare will drive doctors from the field or force them to perfunctory, delayed or assembly-line treatment of patients.
Having personally experienced the U.K.s National Health Service in 1965, when it was new, I can attest to Thomas reported characterization. Thomas column suggests no notable improvement since.
The crowded wards, the spartan facilities and the impersonal care were in extreme contrast to any hospital I have been in or visited in the U.S., and this was Glasgows premier Royal Hospital. The only doctor I saw during my several days in a crowded ward of at least 30 patients was one attending a profusely bleeding knife victim, and the doctor my company hired to read my X-rays.
The ACA is bad medicine!

Renewable energy
To the editor: Renewable energy bypasses natural gas worldwide by 2016. A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) states that global power generation from hydro, wind, solar and other renewable sources will exceed that of gas and be twice that of nuclear power by 2016.
Renewable power is expected to increase by 40 percent in the next five years, according to the IEAs medium-term Renewable Energy Market Report published in June in New York. Renewables are the fastest growing power generation sector and will make up one-fourth of the global power mix by 2018, up from an estimated 20 percent in 2011. The share of wind, solar, bioenergy and geothermal power generation will double by 2018. As costs fall, renewable power will stand on its own versus fossil fuel generation.
We still need long-term policies to meet societys goals. Nuclear, coal and gas plants are not the answer.

AIKEN, S.C. -- The Aiken Department of Public Safety is looking for two men after a pharmacy robbery Monday afternoon.
The robbery happened around 12:15 p.m. at Lominick's Pharmacy on Richland Avenue.

Both of them ran toward Waterloo Street after the burglary.
One of the men is a Hispanic male, about 5'9" tall and 180 pounds. He was wearing a gray jacket and had a backpack. The second was a black male, about 6 feet tall and 250 pounds. He was wearing a brown jacket with a yellow stripe.

PORTLAND — Four county Republican leaders have challenged the election of former congressional candidate Art Robinson as chairman of the Oregon GOP.
Robinson was elected last weekend on the third ballot, defeating Bill Currier 55-52.
The Oregonian reports the challenge comes from Republicans in Benton and Baker counties, but it's unclear how far it will go. Currier said he won't support the challenge.
It alleges John Lee, Clackamas County chair and party credentials chairman, interfered with the election, destroyed two ballots and had a "known bias" against Currier.
Currier was ahead after two ballots, but there was a dispute over how many people should have been allowed to vote.
The challengers want the third ballot thrown out.
Lee denied the allegations and said Currier will be a good vice chairman.

4.5-10 Damages - Liquidated
Revised to January 1, 2008
The plaintiff claims that
the contract entitles (him/her/it) to liquidated damages. The
contract provides <insert liquidated damages clause>. The
plaintiff claims that that clause means <insert plaintiff's
contention>. The defendant claims that that clause means <insert
defendant's contention>. You should interpret what the parties
meant by that clause in accordance with the instructions I gave you
earlier on contract interpretation. <See Instructions
4.2-1 through
You should award the
plaintiff liquidated damages if you find that these three conditions
are met: 1) the damages that were to be expected as a result of a
breach was of an uncertain amount or difficult to prove; 2) the
parties intended to specify in the contract a certain liquidated sum
to be awarded as damages; and 3) that certain sum specified in the
contract was reasonable. You may not award liquidated damages
together with actual damages.

San Jose State defensive lineman Travis Johnson was named the Western Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year to headline the Spartans' nine first-team selections.
The Spartans and Louisiana Tech tied for the most first-team picks. WAC champion Utah State had eight. SJSU also had six second-team selections.
Johnson led the WAC in tackles for loss with 19 and sacks with 12, which ranked seventh nationally. He's the WAC and SJSU all-time leader with 31 career sacks.
"He's the heart and soul of our defense," SJSU coach Mike MacIntyre said recently. "He's one of the best defensive ends that ever played here."
Johnson, from The King's Academy-Sunnyvale, is the first Spartan to win WAC Defensive Player of the Year since Jarron Gilbert in 2008.
Johnson was joined on the first-team defense by sophomore defensive Travis Raciti, a College Park-Pleasant Hill product, junior linebackers Vince Buhagiar (Clayton Valley-Concord), Keith Smith and junior defensive back Bené Benwikere.
Junior wide receiver Noel Grigsby, senior tight end Ryan Otten, senior left tackle David Quessenberry and junior right guard Nicholas Kaspar were first-team offensive selections.
The WAC's depth at quarterback relegated record-setting quarterback David Fales to the second team. Fales, who was named team MVP on Sunday, set school single-season records in passing yards, touchdowns, total offense and completions. Pending the bowl game, he's in line to break records in completion percentage and passer rating.
First-team honors at quarterback went to Louisiana Tech's Colby Cameron and Utah State's Chuckie Keeton. Cameron, the nation's second-leading passer, was named the WAC Offensive Player of the Year.
Utah State's Gary Andersen earned Coach of the Year honors after leading the Aggies to the conference title.
Other Spartans' second-team selections on offense included senior running back De'Leon Eskridge and wide receiver Chandler Jones. Junior defensive tackle Anthony Larceval and senior defensive end David Tuitupou were also second-team picks. Freshman kicker Austin Lopez, who was a perfect 15 for 15 on field goals, and sophomore Tyler Ervin were second-team specialists.

Woodley: '100%' believes he won
Although the bout between Jake Shields and Tyron Woodley at UFC 161 was rather uneventful, if it still the job of the judges to pick the correct winner. Most watching, including UFC President Dana White, thought that Woodley had done enough to win, but the judges saw it the other way for Jake Shields. Sherdog.com posted a video interview with Woodley and got his opinion on the fight:
"I said he wasn't going to take me down and I meant that. He tried 18 times; he got zero takedowns. From a statistics standpoint I was pretty overwhelmed with the fact that I was 64% on punching, I kicked him and dropped him to the ground twice, and I spinning back fisted him and he got zero takedowns. For me, I would have liked to throw more punches."
"Do I believe I won the fight? 100%, but as a person that's been petitioning and hunting down a world title, that type of performance for myself, I have to be able to let it go no matter if it's Jake Shields or who it is. I made him miss so many punches; I just want to watch the video again, he missed almost 80% of his punches."

Definition of heteroclite in English:
Abnormal or irregular: the book suffers from the heteroclite and ill-fitting nature of its various elements
More example sentences
- In America on the other hand, immigrant publics, with weakened connexions to heteroclite pasts, could only be aggregated by narrative and visual schemas stripped to their most abstract, recursive common denominators.
- His objection to Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics lies in its lack of uniform argument or quality: 'It is heteroclite, a hodge-podge of astute comment and utter bosh'.
- Lefebvre's Marxism was heteroclite, and was heavily informed via his engagement with other thinkers.
1An abnormal thing or person.
Example sentences
- The most monomaniacal and extreme of Berlin Dadaists, Johannes Baader is to Dada what Byron is to Romanticism, ultimately inassimilable and heteroclitic among heteroclites.
- The ` moderns' includes Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto and the ` heteroclites' (a term used to describe those designers mixing styles from a number of sources such as surrealism and popular culture) features Gio Ponti and Isamu Noguchi.
1.1An irregularly declined word, especially a Greek or Latin noun.
Example sentences
- Lily had intended to supply a text on heteroclites, and Robertson did so; but no text is here mentioned.
- There is not space here to catalogue the various irregularities, heteroclites, metaplastic forms, etc., of Attic Greek, but the lists given in Kuehner-Blass, or any other of the more elaborate Greek grammars, are enough to convince the most skeptical.
heteroclitic adjective
- Example sentences
- One strategy to improve the immune reaction is to make what are called heteroclitic antigen variants.
- This server provides a computerised approach to the design of heteroclitic peptides, using the additive method to calculate affinities.
- INNO - 305 also utilizes heteroclitic technology in which the wild-type WT1 sequences are altered to improve the immunotherapeutic's ability to activate T-cells.
Late 15th century: via late Latin from Greek heteroklitos, from heteros 'other' + -klitos 'inflected' (from klinein 'to lean, inflect').

You have in your virtual hands the last issue of Free Software Magazine. But, this doesn't mean that FSM is closing down -- in fact, quite the opposite. However, things are changing.
Let me explain.
Once upon a time, in 2004, we started a new paper publication called "Free Software Magazine". We printed three issues, before realising that printing costs would have killed the magazine -- quickly. We still created "issues" (as a collection of articles) -- we just stopped killing trees in the process. In the meantime, "blogs" became part of the magazine: blog entries went through a much more streamlined process, had lighter editing, and were published as soon as the author had completed them. (As a nice piece of trivia, blogs were added to the magazine by adding b2evolution on top of the static site. It was the biggest kludge ever created, but it worked!)
I never liked the term "blog", especially in the context of Free Software Magazine. While it's true that blog entries weren't planned as carefully as articles, they did get edited. To mark the distinction, we changed the wording to "posts" -- not quite articles, but not quite blog entries either.
Since their introduction, posts have become more and more important -- in fact, more important than magazine issues themselves. For an online magazine it was absolutely crucial to cover hot topics and leave the authors freedom to choose what to talk about with very little planning. This way, inspiration became more important and helped our authors to write better posts they were passionate about.
At this point, we will focus on getting more authors and get more exciting posts. This will limit the amount of bit-rot in Free Software Magazine, and will deliver more high-quality content.
Some may argue that Free Software Magazine is no longer a "magazine" as such. Well, maybe. Or maybe in 2009 the word "online magazine" might mean something else: a collection of edited articles which come out as soon as they are ready. Just a thought...
I can't help but wonder what Free Software Magazine will be like in another 4 years. I have some ideas, and you will see my vision as more features and ideas are added to the web site.
See you around.
Without users there will be no readers
As long as users of a Unix OS are as much as -1% of total computer users, I highly doubt there will ever be any brilliant future for FSM or any other open source business or magazine.
I would have loved to see a printed FSM like there are other Windows and Mac magazines, but trying to remember the last time I had a friend who used Linux on the desktop, I think it was 4 years ago, I can not say the same of Mac and Windows, this is in my opinion the big problem of any open source business, no users=no consumers.
On users
1% of all computer users is still a huge number. And Linux users are much more likely to care about articles than Windows users--a lot of people just use Windows because they have to, and don't really care about learning more.
And note that Linux Journal is doing fine as a print publication...
FSM will be fine
Timmy already hit on the point that I was going make. Linux Journal is doing just fine. Linux Magazine left the print market but is still very popular online, as well. FSM will be fine. I used to read a couple of other online magazines and quickly became bored because I received an email each week telling me that there was a new edition online. Unfortunately, most of the articles were written on subjects that I read about months earlier. Keeping things fresh is hard to do. Like many Linux distributions, release an issue when it's ready. Keep up the good work, FSM.

The Morning Download: U.S. Writes Rules for Cyber Warfare
The Morning Download comes from the editors of CIO Journal and cues up the most important news in business technology every weekday morning. Send us your tips, compliments and complaints. You can get The Morning Download emailed to you each weekday morning by clicking here.
Good morning. Absent a Geneva Convention treaty governing how and when a government can bring down systems in an enemy country, the Obama administration has drafted its own rules (more details below) on when the president is authorized to order a pre-emptive cyber strike. The classified rules were issued in response to growing threats from nation-sponsored cyberattacks as well as actions by rogue entities such as terrorist organizations and hacktivists.
The outage that stopped the Super Bowl for over thirty minutes Sunday night was caused by an "abnormality" that caused sensors to trigger a circuit breaker. There's no word on what that "abnormality" consisted of, but there was some speculation it was caused by Chinese hacking. If a cyberattack is to blame, however, the culprit will more likely to turn out to be Iran than China. James A. Lewis, director and senior fellow of the technology and public policy program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told CIO Journal Friday that China does too much business with the U.S. to bring down its electric grid unless it was involved in a conflict with the U.S. or one of its allies. According to Mr. Lewis, Iran is another story. "An attack that might be unappealing to China, that they'd use only in extreme situations, might be more palatable to Iran," he told CIO Journal. Entergy Corp. and SMG, the management company of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, issued a statement Sunday saying the outage was caused by sensors that detected an "abnormality in the system" and opened a circuit breaker as designed.
Pepsi's halftime show reflects growing use of crowdsourcing. The introduction to Pepsico Inc.'s halftime show included images uploaded by consumers to Pepsi's site over the past few weeks, and illustrates how crowdsourcing has gone from a sparingly used tool to a strategy for involving a greater number of stakeholders in product design. Gartner Inc. analyst Carol Rozwell says the practice has become more mainstream in recent years. "In general, the widest range of input on a subject is going to give you the better result," Ms. Rozwell told CIO Journal.
Ratner company grows a brain. Forest City Enterprises Inc., the parent company of the developer that built the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, is shifting to more data-driven analysis and less gut-driven decisions, as public investors push the company beyond family control. As part of the change, the company's chief technology officer, Charles Rau, has shifted his IT team from "commodity back office work" to developing analytic tools for business executives. Mr. Rau is providing executives with software tools from SAP AG, embedded inside iPads, that allow them to analyze and compare vacancy levels, cash flow and return on investment of any of the company's properties, Mr. Rau told CIO Journal.
Adjusting to the digital economy. MIT just launched a new Initiative for the Digital Economy to systematically address the impact of digital technologies on business, the economy and society, Guest Columnist Irving Wladawsky-Berger writes. Digital technologies are advancing rapidly, but organizations and skills are evolving at a much slower pace. Exponential improvements in artificial intelligence, robotics, networks, analytics and digitization will shape more of the economy, potentially displacing human workers in the process. "We are transitioning to a digital economy whose vast implications are not well understood," he says.
Twitter hacked; 250,000 accounts affected. Twitter Inc. on Friday informed users that it was a victim of a hacking attack that resulted in the attackers gaining access to the usernames, email addresses, session tokens and passwords of approximately 250,000 users, reports Wired's Kim Zetter. Twitter said it has reset passwords and revoked session tokens for the accounts suspected of being attacked. "This attack was not the work of amateurs, and we do not believe it was an isolated incident," Twitter's director of information security wrote in an email to users. Last week the New York Times, the Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal said their online servers had been under attack. The NYT dated the recent cyberattacks to a story it reported on financial dealings pursued by the family of China's premier.
Windows 8 ekes out 2.2% market share. Windows 8 may not be setting the PC landscape on fire, but at least it's heating up some gains in market share, writes CNET's Lance Whitney. The latest flavor of Windows scored a market share of 2.26% in January, as recorded by Web tracker Net Applications. That showed a slow but steady rise from 1.72% in December and 1.09% in November. Windows 8 has been floating around for a while as beta and preview editions became available, but the official release debuted at the end of October. January's numbers showed Windows 8 in fifth place among the various operating system versions, just behind Mac OS X 10.8 with a 2.44% share. Windows 7 remained in first place with a 44.4% share, down slightly from the previous month.
Where Kim Dotcom has the edge on Dropbox and Box.net. Look out Dropbox and Box.net. The next hot cloud storage service may be Mega, the service founded by Kim Dotcom after his last business, Megaupload.com, was taken down on piracy charges by the U.S. government. GigaOm's Andy Manoske explains that Mega differentiates itself by using client-side encryption, where the client's computer both encodes the data before it is sent to the cloud and also holds the encryption keys. "The result of such client-side encryption is not only a far more secure product – and a security practice the industry should embrace – but a significant reduction in cost and legal liability for Mega and other cloud storage providers that use this architecture," he writes. Of course there's the whole thing about trusting one's data to someone wanted for questioning by the U.S. government. Perhaps those services that have yet to suffer an armed police raid on their headquarters may want to follow Mega's lead.
Broad powers seen for Obama in cyberstrikes. A secret legal review on the use of America's growing arsenal of cyberweapons has concluded that President Obama has the broad power to order a pre-emptive strike if the U.S. detects credible evidence of a major digital attack looming from abroad, report the NYT's David E. Sanger and Thom Shanker. That decision is among several reached in recent months as the administration moves, in the next few weeks, to approve the nation's first rules for how the military can defend, or retaliate, against a major cyberattack. One senior American official said that officials quickly determined that the cyberweapons were so powerful that — like nuclear weapons — they should be unleashed only on the direct orders of the commander in chief. A possible exception would be in cases of narrowly targeted tactical strikes by the military, like turning off an air defense system during a conventional strike against an adversary.
Plan for public Wi-Fi overhaul splits tech giants. The wireless industry is fiercely lobbying against the federal government's plan to create powerful Wi-Fi networks across the nation, but Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp. say a free-for-all Wi-Fi service would spark major innovation, writes the Washington Post's Cecilia Kang. Companies such as AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless sent a letter to the FCC staff last month arguing that the government should focus its attention on selling the airwaves to businesses. And Intel, whose chips are used in many of the devices that operate on cellular networks, fears that the new Wi-Fi service would crowd the airwaves. But FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski says that "freeing up unlicensed spectrum is a vibrantly free-market approach that offers low barriers to entry to innovators developing the technologies of the future and benefits consumers."
Data protection laws differ across the pond. Attempts by Europe to apply what the New York Times's Natasha Singer calls a "blanket regulatory system" to data privacy has American tech giants and other companies that do business in Europe worried. Europe is looking to standardize data protections first laid out in 1995 across 27 member states and include new rights such as one that would allow consumers to transfer data from one social network or other online storage service to another. Americans say a free and business-friendly Internet is at stake. "It's not wise to have an overly broad, prescriptive, one-size-fits-all approach that would hinder or undermine the ability of companies to innovate in a global economy" says Kevin Richards, senior vice president of federal government affairs at a trade group that represents tech companies. In the U.S., the "patchwork quilt" of laws, industry self-regulation and FTC enforcement may soon be supplemented by a "Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights" proposed by President Barack Obama last year, that would give Americans the same basic protections as Europeans.
FTC asks mobile industry to improve consumer privacy protections. The Federal Trade Commission wants the rapidly growing mobile industry to beef up its privacy controls and allow consumers to opt out of being tracked by ad networks on their smartphones, reports the WSJ's Danny Yadron. Among a series of nonbinding recommendations issued by an agency report, the mobile industry should obtain consumers' permission to track their location and access other personal information on their mobile phones. Mobile app makers should also consider using icons to depict what types of data they collect from users, rather than fine print.
Software can predict epidemics. Researchers at Microsoft and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed software that can accurately predict outbreaks of disease by using New York Times articles and other online sources, reports MIT Technology Review's Tom Simonite. The system provides striking results when tested on historical data. For example, reports of droughts in Angola in 2006 triggered a warning about possible cholera outbreaks in the country, because previous events had taught the system that cholera outbreaks were more likely in years following droughts. Microsoft's lead researcher, Eric Horvitz, says the performance is good enough to suggest that a more refined version could be used in real settings, to assist experts at, for example, government aid agencies involved in planning humanitarian response and readiness. "We've done some reaching out and plan to do some follow-up work with such people," Mr. Horvitz said.
Tech titans take battle to the cloud. Microsoft and Google are trying to unseat Amazon.com Inc. in cloud computing — the lucrative business of renting out computing storage and number-crunching to companies. Amazon dominates the market through its Amazon Web Services business and it's trying to sell AWS to some of the big companies that are Microsoft's bread-and-butter. Microsoft and Google, meanwhile, are trying to skim off the startups that have been AWS's best customers, the WSJ's Shira Ovide, Greg Bensinger and Amir Efrati write. Along the way, the three companies are poaching each other's employees, slashing prices, talking trash and upending long-held strategies to control cloud services.
Sycamore Networks: From $45 billion to zilch. On Friday, Sycamore Networks Inc., one-time star of the first Internet bubble, went out of business. Sycamore's 15-year arc from globe-conquering startup to footnote is a fresh reminder that technology booms can end with a whimper, the WSJ's Scott Thurm and Ben Fox Rubin report. The company went public in 1999 with technology that helped network operators route traffic down fiber-optic cables more efficiently. By March 2000, near the height of the first Internet bubble, the company was valued at $44.8 billion. But the crash and a refusal by the company to update its technology opened the way for rivals such as China's Huawei Technologies Co. "In hard times, you have to innovate your way through it," a former employee tells the WSJ. "You cannot just cut innovation and expect things to work out for the better."
Foxconn plans Chinese union vote. Foxconn, the contract manufacturer whose biggest customer is Apple Inc., is preparing genuinely representative labor union elections in its factories in China for the first time, a powerful sign of the changes demanded by an increasingly restive work force, the FT's Kathrin Hille and Rahul Jacob report. The move is part of Foxconn's attempts to tweak its manufacturing machine, which makes a large proportion of the world's gadgets such as iPhones, tablets and computers, in response to frequent worker protests, riots, strikes and soaring labor costs. Beijing is also encouraging collective bargaining as a way to help contain the growing unrest.
Foreigners dominate in Asiacell IPO. Foreigners bought about 70% of a landmark Iraqi share offering, in a key test of foreign investor confidence in the country as it recovers from years of war, the WSJ's Alex Delmar-Morgan and Rory Jones report. Demand for the $1.3 billion IPO of Asiacell Communications, an Iraqi mobile phone operator, slightly exceeded the number of shares of offer. The Asiacell IPO is the largest such offering in the Middle East since 2008, and the high level of foreign interest could signal that investors' quest for yield extends to riskier emerging markets such as this. However, it could also indicate that Asiacell's controlling shareholder, Qatar Telecom, has used the IPO to purchase new shares, and increase its holding in Asiacell from its current 53.9%.
Google's Schmidt has some harsh words for China. Google Chairman Eric Schmidt's upcoming book, "The New Digital Age," spares no punches on China, calling the country "the most sophisticated and prolific" hacker of foreign companies, reports the WSJ's Tom Gara. "The disparity between American and Chinese firms and their tactics will put both the government and the companies of the United States as a distinct disadvantage," he writes, because laws and a sense an "American sense of fair play" will prevent the U.S. from engaging in the same level of digital corporate espionage. Mr. Schmidt also addresses the U.S.'s role in cyberespionage. A proponent of the liberating effects of free access to the Internet, he sees China's Janus-faced approach to online data troubling for its future. "This mix of active citizens armed with technological devices and tight government control is exceptionally volatile," he writes, warning this could lead to "widespread instability."
China services industries make gains. China's services industries grew at the fastest pace since August as gains in retailing and construction aid government efforts to drive a recovery, Bloomberg reports. The nonmanufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index rose to 56.2 in January from 56.1 in December – a reading above 50 indicates expansion. The report comes on the heels of an upbeat manufacturing survey.
U.S. corporations hit by pension liabilities. Companies are facing a nasty side effect from the low interest rate environment: rising pension liabilities. The problem is a big drain on corporate cash and companies are trying lots of different tools to address it — buying out pensioners, unloading pension accounts to third parties and upping their contributions, write the WSJ's Mike Ramsey and CFO Journal's Vipal Monga.
Dell talks aim for deal within days. Dell buyout talks moved forward over the weekend and the parties aim to finalize a deal within days. People familiar with the talks tell the WSJ that stockholders would be offered a price of around $13 to $14 a share, but the share price was still being negotiated Sunday night. Dell shares had been trading just shy of $11 before news of the talks came out in mid-January. Friday, the stock rose 3% to $13.63, giving the company a market value of about $23.7 billion. Among the sticking points has been the nature of Microsoft's investment, Microsoft's role in the governance of the new company and what the investment would mean for the two companies' commercial relationship.

Knitter's Review
March 17, 2005
A few weeks ago, I quoted someone who said that bulky alpaca was too heavy for anyone to wear comfortably. Several of you wrote to protest this blasphemy. "You
wear bulky alpaca," you insisted, "and it's wonderful!"
So I set out to find a bulky alpaca. Coincidentally, I got an email from a new company that imports alpaca and alpaca blends from Peru. They specialize in supersoft baby alpaca, and they offer their yarns in worsted and—bingo!—chunky weights.
Let's give chunky a chance this week, with an in-depth review of

BARLOW - The Barlow Township Trustees met Monday to go over a contract that potential waste disposal providers would be bidding on if the township moves forward with its plan to lock all its residents into a single, lower rate.
However, the pre-bid contract review was overshadowed by an hour-long public comments session. Around 40 Barlow residents showed up to voice their discontent with the proposed plan.
"I don't want you three people telling me where I can spend my money," said Barlow resident Kenny Meek.

Barlow Township residents expressed many concerns over a proposal to contract with a single trash disposal service that would save residents money but deny them the option to choose a different provider or opt out of service entirely.
Most of the people in attendance seemed to share Meek's viewpoint.
Currently, residents have the option to choose among six trash pick-up services.
"I have the names of 485 people of Barlow Township who would like to be responsible for their own trash pick-up," said resident Neil Kehl, who collected signatures for a petition opposing the plan.
Trustee Darren Roddy countered that he had contacted some of the signers who informed him they had not fully comprehended the implications of the proposed plan.
"Some of them said 'Well if I'd known that, I wouldn't have signed it,'" he said.
Warren Local school district Superintendent Tom Gibbs was also in attendance and voiced mild concern that a contract signed by the township would void the school district's current contract for trash service. Gibbs said the school has reduced trash costs by nearly 50 percent in his eight years with the district.
"My only concern is that it would cost us more money," he said.
Indeed, several residents expressed concern that lower residential rates could be counterbalanced with higher rates for small business owners.
Others expressed concern that the contract prohibits customers from sharing the cost of waste disposal service with their neighbors.
"I know we have a lot of Barlow residents that double up," said Charlene Stephan.
Roddy pointed out that doubling up was technically illegal under most current waste disposal providers anyway.
The current price of trash service would likely be halved with a single provider used, he added.
"They could have their own and not have to take it across the road," said Roddy.
Many residents stated that they currently paid $80 for three months worth of trash service. Based on similar townships who have adopted a single provider, Roddy estimated the cost under contract would be less than $40 for the same time frame.
But many residents still protested the fact that smaller, independent providers did not qualify to bid for the contract because they did not have the necessary equipment.
"There are independents out here. You're going to run them out of business," protested Meek.
Many residents were also up in arms over an early June meeting, during which the proposal was discussed but no minutes were taken.
"Actually, you made part of this decision in an illegal meeting," said Elizabeth Silvus.
Silvus brought a copy of "The Sunshine Law" and told Barlow Fiscal Officer Jack Marks he could be fired for not taking minutes at the meeting.
Marks contended that neither he nor the trustees broke any laws because no formal decisions were made at that June meeting.
Some concerns were alleviated when it was made clear that the trustees had not yet committed to anything.
An additional public meeting for comment will be scheduled after the bids come in, said Roddy. Bids are due by Dec. 28, with the bid scheduled to be awarded Jan. 14, said trustee John Hannan, who opposes the plan. Hannan prefers giving residents freedom of choice, he said.
"I can't stand by and let those freedoms be taken away," he said.
The contract would affect 2,614 residents and 1,040 homes, said Hannan. Additionally, there was some confusion as to who, if anyone, could opt to simply deny service. The contract stipulated that trustees could grant waivers to residents who proved they had a different, legal way to dispose of trash.
After more than an hour, Roddy closed the meeting to public comments so trustees could meet with representatives from Rumpke, Kimble and Waste Management to discuss the contracts.
"We haven't even met with these people yet. That's what today was supposed to be for," he said of the representatives from companies who might bid for the job.
When the trustees and representatives did meet, it was decided that only 10 percent of homes could be granted any sort of exemption, said Hannan.
"That's not very much," he said.
Notice of the next public meeting will be given in The Marietta Times and at various local businesses, said Roddy.
If the trustees go through with the proposal, the new service would begin April 1, 2013.

Location: Plant Physiology and Genetics Research
Project Number: 2020-11000-010-00
Start Date: Feb 02, 2010
End Date: Jan 12, 2015
To achieve the first objective, we will capitalize on the extensive wheat datasets from research at Maricopa over the past 20 years as well as recent advances in statistical analysis of simulation outputs. The second objective builds on progress in plant physiology and genomics that provide avenues for improving how processes are modeled, especially in relation to cultivar differences. In the third objective, the advances in modeling and understanding will be applied to irrigated production systems of the Southwest, both to assess potential impacts of climate change and to identify options for adaptation, including potentially complex interactions of crop calendars, cultivar types and irrigation and fertilizer management. By addressing strategic methodological constraints, the research will provide invaluable information for stakeholders in regional, national and international venues, helping to ensure that agriculture can adapt efficiently and effectively to climate change.

This was a fabulous dinner and so quick and easy to put together. It's also quite healthy. Remember, peanut butter is one of those "good fats." Enjoy and I'll see y'all tomorrow, and I promise to be in a better mood!
12 ounces whole wheat spaghetti, boiled in salted water per package instructions, drained
4 cups of seasoned, cooked, and cubed chicken breast meat
1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
3 green onions, green and light green parts only, thinly sliced
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
3 TBSP water
2 TBSP sesame oil
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 TBSP sugar (I used Splenda)
Place cooked pasta, chicken, and prepared vegetables in a large bowl.
In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, peanut butter, water, sesame oil, ginger, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and sugar. I microwaved this mixture for about 30 seconds to a minute to help melt the peanut butter before whisking.
Pour dressing over the pasta, chicken and vegetables and stir well to combine. This dish is excellent served at room temperature or even cold the next day.

6.5-2 Kidnapping in the First Degree -- § 53a-92 (a) (2)
Revised to June 12, 2009
The defendant is charged [in count __] with kidnapping in the first degree. The statute defining this offense reads as follows:
a person is guilty of kidnapping in the first degree when (he/she) abducts another person and restrains the person abducted with intent to <insert appropriate subsection:>
§ 53a-92 (a) (2) (A): inflict physical injury upon (him/her) or violate or abuse (him/her) sexually.
§ 53a-92 (a) (2) (B): accomplish or advance the commission of a felony.
§ 53a-92 (a) (2) (C): terrorize (him/her) or a third person.
§ 53a-92 (a) (2) (D): interfere with the performance of a government function.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Abducted another person
The first element is that the defendant abducted another person. "Abduct" means to restrain a person with the intent to prevent (his/her) liberation by <insert as appropriate:>
secreting or holding (him/her) in a place where (he/she) is not likely to be found. There need be no evidence of the use or threatened use of force. The defendant need only have effectively hidden <insert name of person> or left (him/her) in a place where (he/she) was not likely to be found.
using or threatening to use physical force or intimidation. The defendant does not need to actually use force. (He/She) need only threaten to use force in such a manner that <insert name of other person> reasonably believed that force would be used if (he/she) tried to escape.
"Restrain" means to restrict a person's movements intentionally and unlawfully in such a manner as to interfere substantially with (his/her) liberty by moving (him/her) from one place to another, or by confining (him/her) either in the place where the restriction commences or in a place to which (he/she) has been moved, without consent. There is no requirement that the movement be of any specific distance or that the confinement last any specific period of time. There need not be any movement at all -- the person could be confined by preventing (him/her) from leaving a place where (he/she) was.
Any apparent consent on the part of <insert name of other person> to the movement or confinement must have been actual and not simply acquiescence brought about by force, fear, shock, or deception. <Insert as appropriate:>
<If consent is at issue:> The act of consent must have been truly voluntary. Consent may be express or you may find that it is implied from the circumstances that you find existed. Whether there was consent is a question of fact for you to determine. The defendant has no burden to prove consent. The state must prove the lack of consent.
<If person abducted is less than sixteen or an incompetent person:> Without consent in this case means by any means whatever1, including acquiescence of the person, if (he/she) is (a child less than sixteen years old / an incompetent person) and (the parent or guardian / person or institution having lawful control or custody of (him/her)) has not acquiesced in the movement or confinement.
In abducting <insert name of person>, the defendant must have specifically intended to prevent (his/her) liberation. A person acts "intentionally" with respect to a result when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. <See Intent: Specific, Instruction 2.3-1.>
Element 2 - Intent to do further harm
The second element is that the defendant abducted <insert name of person> with the specific intent to <insert as appropriate:>
§ 53a-92 (a) (2) (A): inflict physical injury on the person. "Physical injury" is defined as impairment of physical condition or pain. It is a reduced ability to act as one would otherwise have acted. The law does not require that the injury be serious. It may be minor.
§ 53a-92 (a) (2) (A): violate or abuse the person sexually. "To violate or abuse the person sexually" has no technical meaning, and you are to attach to these terms their ordinary common meaning.
§ 53a-92 (a) (2) (B): accomplish or advance the commission of a felony. A felony is an offense for which a person may be sentenced to a term of imprisonment in excess of one year.
§ 53a-92 (a) (2) (C): terrorize the person or a third person. To terrorize means to cause intense fear or apprehension.2
§ 53a-92 (a) (2) (D): interfere with the performance of a government function.
It is not necessary that actual (physical injury / sexual violation or abuse / commission of a felony / terror of another person / interference with the performance of a government function) be proved, as long as you determine that the defendant intended to <insert the allegations>, and abducted <insert name of person> with that intent.
A person acts "intentionally" with respect to a result when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. <See Intent: Specific, Instruction 2.3-1.>
To clarify the intent aspects of this count. Under the first element, the abduction, the defendant must have intended to prevent the liberation of <insert name of person>, and that prevention of liberation must have been accomplished. Under the second element, the defendant must have prevented the liberation of <insert name of person> with the intent to commit <insert allegation of other intended criminal conduct>. The defendant must have had both intentions at the time of the abduction.
You must consider these two intentions in a further light.3 It is alleged that the restraint used against <insert name of person> was for the purpose of <insert allegations>. It is not necessary to restrain a person to <insert allegations>. Nevertheless, some interference with the person's liberty may be necessary or incidental to <insert allegations>.
To establish the defendant's intent to prevent the liberation of <insert name of person> independent from the intent to <insert allegations>, the state must prove that the defendant intended to prevent the complainant's liberation for a longer time or to a greater degree than that which would be necessary to <insert allegations>. In this regard, the defendant's intent to prevent the complainant's liberation may be manifested by confinement or movement that is more than merely incidental to the other intended acts. In other words, if the confinement or movement is so much a part of the other conduct that it could not be accomplished without such restraint, then the requisite intent to prevent the complainant's liberation has not been established. There is, however, no minimal period of confinement or degree of movement necessary to establish kidnapping.
Whether the movement or confinement of the complainant is merely incidental to other conduct is a question of fact for you to determine. In determining this, you may consider all the relevant facts and circumstances of the case, including, but not limited to, the following factors:4
the nature and duration of the complainant's movement or confinement by the defendant,
whether that movement or confinement occurred during the commission of other conduct,
whether the restraint was inherent in the nature of the other conduct,
whether the restraint prevented the complainant from summoning assistance,
whether the restraint reduced the defendant's risk of detection, and
whether the restraint created a significant danger or increased the complainant's risk of harm independent of that posed by the other conduct.]
As I said before, it doesn't matter whether the defendant committed another criminal act or not. What matters is what (his/her) intent was at the time of the alleged abduction.
[<Include if the defendant is also charged with the attempt or completion of the offense:>5 So determining the defendant's intent for purposes of the second element is completely separate from your deliberations on count __.]
Consider all of the evidence when deciding on what the defendant intended to do. <Insert Evidence of Intent, Instruction 2.3-2.>
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant abducted <insert the name of the other person>, and that (he/she) intended to <insert specific allegations of intent>.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
kidnapping in the first degree, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the
other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a
reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not
1 The "any means whatever" language was intended "to protect young children and incompetent persons from being kidnapped when the victim agrees to go with the kidnapper because of promises of favors or gifts. A competent adult's actual consent to the restraint would negate lack of consent if not induced by deception, force, fear or shock; in other words, with no compulsion or deception. . . . The 'any means whatever' language should not be given in an instruction when . . . the victim is a competent adult." State v. Benjamin, 86 Conn. App. 344, 355 (2004).
2 See State v. Dyson, 238 Conn. 784, 798-99 (1996) ("[w]hile it seems likely that every kidnapping would induce some degree of fear on the part of the abductee, not every perpetrator possesses the specific intent to terrorize his victim"); State v. Crudup, 81 Conn. App. 248, 261, cert. denied, 268 Conn. 913 (2004).
3 State v. Salamon, 287 Conn. 509 (2008), State v. Sanseverino, 287 Conn. 608 (2008), and State v. DeJesus, 288 Conn. 418 (2008), made a significant change to the law of kidnapping. The trial court should carefully review those cases before using this instruction.
4 State v. Salamon, supra, 287 Conn. 548. These factors are the more commonly occurring factual scenarios that might support a finding of intent to restrain beyond that necessary to commit the underlying crime, but they are only illustrative. Factors should only be included if relevant, and the trial judge may include other factors that appear in the case. The instruction must be tailored to the evidence presented by the state.
Include only if there is another charge arising out of the same conduct that
would support an inference of intent for purposes of the second element. Of the
possible other criminal conduct intended, only committing a felony is likely to
map exactly to another crime charged in the information. While a criminal charge
may result from the other conduct, it is irrelevant to the defendant's intent
for purposes of this instruction. The same evidence, for example, that supports
an inference that the defendant intended to sexually violate or abuse the person
may also support a charge of sexual assault, but it may not. In addition, the
defendant may not have made enough significant steps towards the other intended
crime to support a charge of an attempted crime.

Austin Energy Maintains U.S. Lead in Green Power Sales
The municipal utility for Austin, Texas, sold more than 577 million kilowatt-hours of electricity from renewable sources in 2007, holding onto its top spot in the United States for utility sales of green power, according to DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). More than 800 utilities across the United States offer voluntary green programs to their customers, according to NREL, which released its annual ranking of the leading utility green power programs on April 22. Total utility green power sales exceeded 4.5 billion kilowatt-hours in 2007, about a 20% increase over 2006. For the sixth time in a row, Austin Energy leads the pack for total sales. Austin Energy also comes in second for its percentage of total electricity sales that are green power sales, at 5%, beat out only by Edmond Electric, the municipal utility for Edmond, Oklahoma, which is at 5.7% of total electricity sales.
Other leading utilities include Xcel Energy, which has the greatest number of participants in its program at 75,534. Helped by its huge size, Xcel Energy has led that category for the past 5 years. On the smaller end of the scale, the municipal utility for Palo Alto, California, led the nation for the third year in a row in terms of the percentage of customers participating in their program. The municipal utility achieved a 20.4% participation rate, pulling far ahead of its nearest rival, the municipal utility for Lenox, Iowa, which has a 14.3% participation rate. See the NREL press release and the top ten lists of utility green power programs (including links to earlier lists) on the Green Power Network Web site.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also updated its list of the leading purchasers of green power. The list has changed little over the past three months, with Intel Corporation still leading overall, Whole Foods Market leading the retail pack, the U.S. Air Force leading among government agencies, and the City of Dallas, Texas, leading among local governments. However, the University of Pennsylvania managed to overtake New York University in green power purchases, helping the Ivy League to win the crown as the top conference for green power purchases. The EPA announced the conference champs on Monday. See the EPA Green Power Partnership Web site, the EPA press release and the College & University Green Power Challenge Web page.

A narrow victory
A few moments in his match at the Tennis Masters Cup today, it appeared that Roger would lose against Andy Roddick He was down one set to love and he had a double match point against him in the second set tie break at 4-6.
But then, just like many times before, the wheels fell off in Roddick's attempt to oust the best tennis player on the planet. Roger fought off three match points to win the second set tie breaker and then he cruised in the deciding set to defeat his American opponent 4-6, 7-6 (10-8), 6-4.
"One of the only things I probably would have changed about that point at 6-4 is putting a first serve in," Roddick said. "This won't be the last time I think about that." Roger also agreed that was the turning point.
"Early on in the tiebreak already when I was down 4-1 and him serving ... I thought, well, probably not my day, I'm not playing that great and he's not giving me a chance, so I guess that's it.," Roger said afterwards. "But I told myself, you know, maybe I can make him nervous by just staying along and in the match. That's what happened. I don't know if he got nervous or it just went my way in the end, but it was really close, that's for sure," he said.
Roger has now extended his winning stretch in round-robin matches at the season-ending championship to 14 and his streak against Roddick to eight. He's 12-1 career against Roddick, who has not beaten our star since the semifinals at Montreal in 2003.
Roger will meet Ljubicic on Thursday at 12.00 (Swiss time).
keep it up!
you came from behind to win the match.
i think andy got a bit overconfident since taking the 1st set, but u showed him the door....
i like ur spirit.......
best of luck against ivan...
it's a great match.i wondered how would u come through when ur forehand wasnt working well. Roddick played very well.i haven't seen u struggling so much with any body else in recent times. i think ur net play is not as good as roddi
??????? ?? ??????? ???????
How can you be so calm when you fall behind and stand at the edge of losing? That's something only roger federer knows.
Although I cannot watch your games, I read
Love and hugs,
Cori USA
I could not watch this match too, so I went away and did a lot of praying. I was shaking way after the match because my nerves were in shreds. I have no idea how you can keep so cool and never give up. Please Roger can you do it in two s
Good luck on your

For decades, the Sutter Huskies have been one of the top teams in Nor Cal—especially in the area. I would know; I played against them when I was in high school and almost played for them my senior season.
This season is no different as they toppled the Gridley Bulldogs 62-0 last Friday night. The Huskies now improve to 7-0 overall and 4-0 in BVL play.
The score was 48-0 going into the half.
Sutter QB Trent Little passed for 129 yards and a touchdown to Brad Bonnenfant and Mat Sanders. Sanders also rushed for 49 yards on two carries with another score. Nathan Ahlers scored two TDs on the ground. Jared Miller, Forrest Smith, and Cody Lee all had scores for the Huskies. Colton Minton also recorded a score as he picked up a fumble and took it to the house.
This is the fourth shutout this season for the Bulldogs. They have had 301 points scored against them, while only putting 26 points on the board this season.
The Bulldogs fall to 0-7 overall this season, and they are 0-3 in BVL play. This week, they'll be back on the road to play the Las Plumas Thunderbirds.
Las Plumas is coming off a 52-12 loss to Orland last week. They are currently 2-5 overall, and they are 2-2 in the BVL with wins over Winters and Oroville.
