Through our exceptional health
care services, we reveal
the healing presence of God.
What's NewGet the latest news on St. Mary's Hospital »
Those words describe St. Mary's Emergency Services' two locations: the hospital campus ER and the Sun Prairie Emergency Center. Because of a strategic redesign of patient flow and precise coordination of services, patients across Dane County are being seen by a doctor faster, within an average of 14 minutes of arrival. No wonder our patients don't have time to sit down.
The capacity of the hospital campus ER facility has nearly doubled thanks to a recent expansion. With 29 private exam rooms and a rooftop helipad that's linked by elevator directly to the ER, the expanded Emergency Services department treated over 50,000 patients in 2011—more than any other local ER. Implementation of an electronic health record system, bedside registration, unit-based medical imaging capabilities and other efficiencies have reduced door-to-doc times and increased patient satisfaction.
Residents of Sun Prairie and surrounding communities have experienced these benefits. July 2009 marked the opening of a 10-bed satellite emergency center at 2840 O'Keeffe Avenue. Complete with laboratory, radiology and helicopter transport, St. Mary's Sun Prairie Emergency Center brings quality care closer to home for thousands.
St. Mary's Sun Prairie Emergency Center Q&A Fact Sheet (pdf)Urgent Care vs. ER, where should I go? (pdf)
Both facilities are staffed by Madison Emergency Physicians. Each of St. Mary's emergency physician partners is board-certified in emergency medicine and there's always a Certified Emergency Nurse on staff to care for you. That is better!

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks are giving Hall of Fame defenseman Larry Robinson a spot in the front office in addition to his role as an associate coach.
Robinson agreed to a new three-year deal Wednesday that will make him the team's director of player development. While he will retain the coaching spot he has held the past two seasons, the plan calls for him to spend less time behind the bench.
"It fits exactly what he's really good at and what our needs are," general manager Doug Wilson said of the expanded role for Robinson.
In his new role, Robinson will not be with the Sharks on every trip next season, and he expects to be spending more time in Worcester with San Jose's AHL affiliate.
"It's a great working environment," Robinson said of his continuing role on the coaching staff, "and through development, I'll not only be working with the D, I'll be trying to help everybody get better."
Robinson, who will turn 63 next week, acknowledged that one of his goals was to cut back on the travel grind.
"I just found that, at my age, those long trips took me a while to bounce back from," he said. "I'm not young like these other three guys that I'm working with."
Robinson will spend even less time behind the bench in the final two years of his new contract. Starting with the 2015-16 season, he said he will focus more on San Jose's AHL affiliate in Worcester and use his home in Florida as his base. Trips to the West Coast will be on an as-needed basis.
Wilson also indicated that Robinson's role with the team will evolve into areas beyond development. After the Sharks blew a 3-0 series lead and were eliminated by the Los Angeles Kings, the general manager has talked about changing the team's culture, and it's easy to see how Robinson's experience could help do that.
Robinson won six Stanley Cups over the course of 17 seasons as a defenseman with the Montreal Canadiens. He later added three more titles in various roles with the New Jersey Devils, including as head coach of the team that won it in 2000.
Robinson was an assistant coach with the Devils when he joined the Sharks in 2012, at least in part because he and his wife wanted to be closer to their daughter and her family, including two grandchildren, in Southern California.

The Sturdy Watch That is Breitling
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 7:00:00 AM in Breitling (30)
There are two words that define professional watches: style and performance. And that is what Breitling watches are all about. Breitling has been making instruments for professionals since 1984. As a matter of fact, Breitling played a crucial role in the development of the wrist chronograph. It is the world's only major watch brand to equip its models with chronometer-certified movements. It also produces its own mechanical chronograph movement, which is rare in the industry. This is how passionate Breitling is in producing top-of-the-line timepieces. No surprise, it has become the official supplier to world aviation. Breitling watches do no only look sturdy but they are actually made to last. They are reliable and high-performance instruments. Because of its excellent reputation, Breitling watches will never be out of trend. They are not just fads that wear away in season.
Breitling is available at Shreve & Co. in San Francisco, California.

Glacial Park Series #5
Category: Nature
Photo and caption by Donna Giovanni
Sunrise - Glacial Park, Richmond IL. Glacial Park has become my second backyard over the years. I grew up at this place; hanging out with friends, canoeing the Nippersink Creek, hiking and cross country skiing. I brought my kids here, and they now come here with their friends. It wasn't until about 10 years ago that I started to really see this place and its photographic potential. I've developed a new relationship here through chasing the sun, finding the composition and catching the colors.

The proposed AT&T and T-Mobile merger faces another hurdle, this time from Sprint Nextel Corp.
Just a week after the United States Department of Justice sued to block AT&T's bid to take over T-Mobile USA, Sprint has filed its own lawsuit to challenge the proposed combination of both companies.
Sprint filed an antitrust lawsuit on Tuesday (Sept. 6) against the proposed takeover in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, adding another hurdle to AT&T's $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA.
Sprint sues AT&T
Echoing the Justice Department's argument, Sprint contended that the proposed merger would significantly damage competition in the wireless industry.
In its suit, the Overland Park, Kansas based telecommunications company alleges that the proposed AT&T and T-Mobile merger is an infringement of Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act.
"By acquiring T-Mobile, AT&T would be removing a low-price and innovative maverick competitor that provides particularly disruptive competition," Sprint said in its lawsuit.
"The injuries to Sprint and the public at large would be irreparable if the merger were completed," it added.
How proposed merger violates Clayton Antitrust Act?
In its suit, the Overland Park, Kansas based telecommunications company alleges that the proposed AT&T and T-Mobile merger is an infringement of Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act.
Sprint that offers a range of wireless and wireline communications services is arguing that Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act prohibits any person from taking over whole or part of the stock or other share capital that would lessen competition and create a monopoly to a significant extent.
The company explains in its suit that the proposed merger would violate this act because it would lead to AT&T and Verizon controlling 75 percent of the wireless market, while taking in 90 percent of the profits.
War of words
"Sprint opposes AT&T's proposed takeover of T-Mobile," Susan Haller, vice president of litigation at Sprint, said in a statement.
"With today's legal action, we are continuing that advocacy on behalf of consumers and competition, and expect to contribute our expertise and resources in proving that the proposed transaction is illegal," Haller added.
AN AT&T spokesman fired back, "This simply demonstrates what we've said all along: Sprint is more interested in protecting itself than it is in promoting competition that benefits consumers."

For Richer
By Paul Krugman
Published: October 20, 2002
I.The Disappearing Middle
When I was a teenager growing up on Long Island, one of my favorite excursions was a trip to see the great Gilded Age mansions of the North Shore. Those mansions weren't just pieces of architectural history. They were monuments to a bygone social era, one in which the rich could afford the armies of servants needed to maintain a house the size of a European palace. By the time I saw them, of course, that era was long past. Almost none of the Long Island mansions were still private residences. Those that hadn't been turned into museums were occupied by nursing homes or private schools.
For the America I grew up in -- the America of the 1950's and 1960's -- was a middle-class society, both in reality and in feel. The vast income and wealth inequalities of the Gilded Age had disappeared. Yes, of course, there was the poverty of the underclass -- but the conventional wisdom of the time viewed that as a social rather than an economic problem. Yes, of course, some wealthy businessmen and heirs to large fortunes lived far better than the average American. But they weren't rich the way the robber barons who built the mansions had been rich, and there weren't that many of them. The days when plutocrats were a force to be reckoned with in American society, economically or politically, seemed long past.
Daily experience confirmed the sense of a fairly equal society. The economic disparities you were conscious of were quite muted. Highly educated professionals -- middle managers, college teachers, even lawyers -- often claimed that they earned less than unionized blue-collar workers. Those considered very well off lived in split-levels, had a housecleaner come in once a week and took summer vacations in Europe. But they sent their kids to public schools and drove themselves to work, just like everyone else.
But that was long ago. The middle-class America of my youth was another country.
We are now living in a new Gilded Age, as extravagant as the original. Mansions have made a comeback. Back in 1999 this magazine profiled Thierry Despont, the ''eminence of excess,'' an architect who specializes in designing houses for the superrich. His creations typically range from 20,000 to 60,000 square feet; houses at the upper end of his range are not much smaller than the White House. Needless to say, the armies of servants are back, too. So are the yachts. Still, even J.P. Morgan didn't have a Gulfstream.
As the story about Despont suggests, it's not fair to say that the fact of widening inequality in America has gone unreported. Yet glimpses of the lifestyles of the rich and tasteless don't necessarily add up in people's minds to a clear picture of the tectonic shifts that have taken place in the distribution of income and wealth in this country. My sense is that few people are aware of just how much the gap between the very rich and the rest has widened over a relatively short period of time. In fact, even bringing up the subject exposes you to charges of ''class warfare,'' the ''politics of envy'' and so on. And very few people indeed are willing to talk about the profound effects -- economic, social and political -- of that widening gap.
Yet you can't understand what's happening in America today without understanding the extent, causes and consequences of the vast increase in inequality that has taken place over the last three decades, and in particular the astonishing concentration of income and wealth in just a few hands. To make sense of the current wave of corporate scandal, you need to understand how the man in the gray flannel suit has been replaced by the imperial C.E.O. The concentration of income at the top is a key reason that the United States, for all its economic achievements, has more poverty and lower life expectancy than any other major advanced nation. Above all, the growing concentration of wealth has reshaped our political system: it is at the root both of a general shift to the right and of an extreme polarization of our politics.
But before we get to all that, let's take a look at who gets what.
II. The New Gilded Age
The Securities and Exchange Commission hath no fury like a woman scorned. The messy divorce proceedings of Jack Welch, the legendary former C.E.O. of General Electric, have had one unintended benefit: they have given us a peek at the perks of the corporate elite, which are normally hidden from public view. For it turns out that when Welch retired, he was granted for life the use of a Manhattan apartment (including food, wine and laundry), access to corporate jets and a variety of other in-kind benefits, worth at least $2 million a year. The perks were revealing: they illustrated the extent to which corporate leaders now expect to be treated like ancien régime royalty. In monetary terms, however, the perks must have meant little to Welch. In 2000, his last full year running G.E., Welch was paid $123 million, mainly in stock and stock options.
Is it news that C.E.O.'s of large American corporations make a lot of money? Actually, it is. They were always well paid compared with the average worker, but there is simply no comparison between what executives got a generation ago and what they are paid today.

Hello - I am currently 248 pounds and training for a half marathon. This is my first winter running... and figuring out clothes has been difficult.
I can fit into a Nike XL, but most other brands I am still in a 2xl.
I am currently wearing Cuddl Duds tops and bottom, Nike running pants over the top and a technical shirt. My top is warm enough, but my butt, thighs, and legs are quite cold when the temp gets to 20 degrees or less. Since some of the long runs have me outside for more than 3 hours... I am a bit worried about this.
Everything I see online goes up to XL... apparently fat people are supposed to freeze all winter? Any ideas?

This is my first reply here, and I'm a new, slow runner, but I've been walking in all weather for a long time. Are you tall enough to wear men's pants? I'm female, only 5'6" and around 200 lbs now, but with long legs and arms for my height. I'm right at that XL / XXL / 1X size range where I have to try on EVERYTHING because you never know how something will fit. I usually have to buy men's jackets / coats to get the sleeves long enough, so it wasn't much of a stretch for me to try on men's active pants. My winter go-to is women's compression tights (for support and wicking) as a base layer with men's poly fleece midlayer and men's wind pants as an outer layer. Again, try on, and depending on your exact proportions you may be in anything from a men's L to 2XL. But at least the fitness companies seem to understand that big men work out, even if they haven't quite figured out the same for us bigger women.
Another suggestion for larger women's active wear is Junonia.com ; consistently high quality and true-to-size or a bit large, but unfortunately also a bit pricey.
I love the company Melanzana. they have some microgrid tights which are good for cool, but not windy, days. I'm a size 12 and got the large and they fit fine--I have Nike winter pants to wear over in case it's colder or windier. (the winter pants are pretty much straight legged, thicker material and they have zipper ankles and a small pocket for a small MP3 player.
Melanzana is a small company in Colorado--which I'm happy to give my money to small companies.
I also suggest checking out Pearl izumi cycling clothes. (or any cycling clothes) they have some great winter tights or pants that are good for wind/cold, and not all have the cylcing pad!

I'd be hesitant to buy something like that online, and would recommend going to a sports shop and trying on everything they have in men's and women's sizing and you'll find something (if the men's are too long roll them up or have them hemmed up). Leadville Fan is correct in suggesting Pearl Izumi, they make great stuff and now have a running line you should check out.

I'm hesitant also to buy online. I went with the Nike Legend Pants adn they are pretty warm. I'm tall so in addition to being heavy, I have to find stuff for tall women. The NIKE Legend pants are pretty good but I wear a pair of compression capri's under them to help with the warmth.
I second the suggestion of going to the mens department.
Good luck!

Training for my first triathlon and I keep getting a ton of water up my nose. Are nose plugs an option or would I be the only one there sporting a noseplug? Should I just try to tough it out?
Well, as I always say, I am not an expert... but I`ve been watching a lot of videos of triathlon and worked in the staff of 7 Ironmans Brazil.... and I saw a buch of athletes using nose plugs...
I don`t use them cause I don`t need them... well, that if I use on;y one side to breathe... even though I`ve been trainning both sides... the left side for me I always get a little drawned LOL
I think you should try the nose clips...they might help you... but that means you will release the air only through your mounth....wich could make the time of breathing a little different....
Just try it before your race if you have one... well I have my frirst in about 10 days...and what I here at most is that you shouldn`t try anything new near or at the day of the race!
Hope more experienced people answer you... that is only my amateur opinion....even though I swim for a long time already... is just my first TRI....
Good trainning for you !
OK, I'll bite and admit I use a nose plug. I have a terribly deviated septum due to breaking my nose twice when young and I simply cannot seem to keep water out of my nasal passages otherwise.
I used one in a 70.3, an Olympic and several sprints. No one looked at me weird, but then again, if you are worried about what you look like in a tri, you are in the wrong sport and need to sign up for beach volleyball. We are all smushed into shiny black wetsuits along with funny colored caps and weird looking eye things. A nose plug is going to be low comedy in this crowd.
The idea is to use what makes you comfortable. so if it makes you comfortable, I say go for it. Now, I use one one on an attached neck thong in case some thrashing swimmer knocks it off my nose, but only in racing. In practice, I use a Speedo stand alone (no cord) as it's waaay more comfortable than the brands that have attached neck thongs. I will admit the ones on the thongs look like something a 4 year old would wear. But I quit worrying about what I look like 10 seconds after the start horn.
My husband wears these giant tinted goggles that make him look like Superfly. His look trumps my nose plug by a mile.
LOL I use those googles too...!!!
But I Love them.. as I use contacts ..they are great
Thanks for the help. I will give the nose plug a try tonight. Good Luck on your Triathlon!
Thanks for the advice. I will give the nose plug a try later. I also broke my nose when I was younger, perhaps that is the root of my problem.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
China's turn toward the sea is evident in its stunning rise in global shipbuilding markets, its expanding merchant marine, its wide reach of offshore energy exploration, its growing fishing fleet, and its increasingly modern navy. This comprehensive assessment of China's potential as a genuine maritime power is both unbiased and apolitical. Unlike other works that view China in isolation, it places China in a larger world historical context. The authors, all authorities on their historical eras, examine cases of attempted maritime transformation through the ages, from the Persian Empire to the Soviet Union, and determine the reasons for success or failure.
"This book is a wonderful academic review not just about China's maritime power but of the history of sea command. The editors do a remarkable job of building a comprehensive picture of where China stands today in its pursuit of a maritime capability to match its economic ascendency and continental military power."
— Canadian Naval Review,Summer 2011
"Throughout Asia today, China dominates the conversation. Within this dialogue, China's turn to the sea and its development of a blue water capability has economic, diplomatic and military implications. This valuable new book by the U.S. Naval Institute provides in one volume a comprehensive assessment of China's naval development, the principal historical precedents, and the complex thought process that guides the Chinese Navy's leadership."
—Admiral Walter F. Doran, USN (Ret.) , former Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet
"This book deserves to be read by every career Navy and Marine officer and then retained on his/her bookshelf. The content, scope, and organization of this book are extraordinary. The selection of subject matter leading to an understanding of current Chinese naval developments is also excellent. The volume is nicely bookended with an engaging introduction and a crisp but thorough review of its arguments in the closing chapter. The book examines the historic record of maritime transitions in other states to reflect light on the current Chinese situation. The book marches through naval history from Persia, Sparta and Rome to the Soviet Navy transformation under Admiral Sergey Gorshkov during the Cold War. One need not be a scholar in Chinese studies to profit greatly from this approach. I am pleased to recommend highly this book to a wide public audience that is interested in where China may be headed. The book is especially recommended to those who wonder whether or not the next challenge to the U.S. Navy will come from China."
—Rear Admiral Ronald J. Kurth, USN (Ret.)
"For readers interested in seapower, this book is a veritable feast of delights. It shows how important Chinese maritime power is likely to be for the rest of us, but also how complex that issue actually is. By way of a multifaceted approach which sweeps across both the experiences of other maritime powers over the centuries and the varying fortunes of seapower in Chinese history, it explores the ways that great land powers have transformed themselves into maritime powers. It identifies so many lessons, and it establishes the dangers, limits and opportunities so well that we must hope that Chinese policy-makers also read this deeply authoritative book closely, for their sake, as well as for ours."
—Geoffrey Till, Corbett Centre for Maritime Policy Studies, UK, author of Seapower: A Guide for the 21st Century
"This is an original and well-designed collection of scholarly essays on the larger historical context of China's current maritime growth. Readers will be drawn immediately to the chapters upon our contemporary balance of forces across the Pacific, to studies of China's shipbuilding programs, commercial expansion, and weapons-systems development. But they should also spend time on the historical case-studies, which are specifically focused upon land powers that go to sea. Since this is clearly what most concerns China's navy, it ought also to capture the attention of external observers of China's sea-power growth in the twenty-first century. This is an important read."
—Paul Kennedy, Yale University, author of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers
"China Goes to Seais a remarkable collection of essays by a group of outstanding scholars. It applies the method of comparative analysis in a critical and sophisticated way to illuminate current naval developments in light of the experience of states developing naval capacities and strategies through the ages. Current developments make it essential reading for students of China, strategy, and international relations."
—Donald Kagan, Yale University, author of On the Origins of War and The Peloponnesian War
"Here is a rich and suggestive collection of essays unique in its wide range over space and time. Among its many other merits, it provides a valuable window into what the Chinese themselves are thinking about strategic maritime matters."
—John Curtis Perry, The Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy, Tufts University
"China Goes to Seais a major contribution to the development of a comparative and historical perspective on contemporary China's growing maritime ambitions. Experts on the naval history of pre-modern and modern European powers and of China offer illuminating discussions of the sources of land power interest in developing extensive maritime power and the enduring constraints on their simultaneous development of maritime and continental capabilities. Within this analytical framework, distinguished experts assess China's interest in expanding its naval capabilities and its progress toward developing a power projection navy. China Goes to Sea is essential reading for scholars and policy makers concerned about Chinese defense policy and developments in Chinese maritime policy."
—Robert S. Ross, Professor of Political Science, Boston College
"The maritime history of China has long been a neglected field. The absorbing interpretive essays in China goes to Sea bring that knowledge-gap to an end by offering us two contrasting settings from which to view China's current naval development: the first is an illuminating historical overview of how continental states from Persia and Sparta down to Imperial Germany and Soviet Russia applied their skills and resources to becoming naval powers. The other is a history of China's own quest for naval growth, from the famous Ming dynasty voyages of the early 15th century down to the current blue water visions of expansion in the People's Republic. This volume will be an indispensable companion to those readers seeking to understand where China's navy may be heading."
—Jonathan Spence, Yale University, author of Treason by the Book and The Search for Modern China
"Compares historical examples dating from the Persian Empire's maritime transformation in 550-490 BC to China's ongoing metamorphosis, expertly addressing the factors influencing China's turn to the sea. … This volume includes excellent work… highlighting a number of ways in which China appears to be deviating from the path historical precedence would seem to dictate. …evidence that China's path may not replicate historical examples is offered by Erickson and Goldstein, who provide an excellent overview of how Beijing has studied the rise of great powers in hopes of emulating successes and avoiding pitfalls. Carnes Lord reviews the factors that led to failed maritime transformations and finds no compelling reason that China's turn to the sea will fail. Instead, he finds a country that has accurately identified its geostrategic vulnerability to seaward attack and has adjusted its maritime policies to these changing security requirements. Lord's only question is the pace and degree of China's maritime transformation."
—Scott W. Bray (the U.S. Navy's Senior Intelligence Officer for China), "Turning to the Sea… This Time to Stay," Book Review Essay, Asia Policy, No. 9 (January 2010), pp. 167-72
"Should be required reading for anyone interested in either China or, more broadly, maritime strategy. … Whether China is able to achieve what few nations in the past have done and transform itself from a continentalist past to a maritime future is an issue that will continue to be addressed for years to come. … This book is an extremely valuable contribution to that debate."
— Capt. Gordon Andrew, RAN, Australian Defence Force Journal(Issue No. 180, 2009), pp. 85-86
"This is a vital book that ought to be read by all the world's political leaders and their advisors, senior military personnel and pro-active business people. Not only does it, as it claims, put China's maritime transformation into historical perspective, it puts almost all maritime commerce into historical perspective. In analysing China's current situation, it provides a brilliant overview of global commercial history. Comprising a collection of essays from 17 clear headed and far sighted scholars it succinctly analyses present day China and its position in the maritime world, indeed in the whole world. This is one of those rare books that delivers vastly more than it promises. A fine piece of literary jewelry full of smaller gems."
— Baird Maritime, 10 August 2009
"…an impressive study with a sophisticated and comparative approach, a worthy addition to any library. It is an informative read that will please history-buffs and political-wonks alike."
— Xinhui, China Defense Blog, 4 August 2009

SOMERSET, Ky. (WYMT) - Police are investigating what caused a fatal car crash in Somerset, that involved two cars in, what police say, was a nearly head-on collision.
Bits and pieces are all that are left along West Highway 80, after the fatal crash on Saturday night.
Police say 33-year-old Levi Stephens of Somerset was driving in the westbound lane when he was hit head-on.
"It appears as though Mr. Stephens tried to avoid the collision as much as he could, but he just simply wasn't able to move out of the way far enough," said Shannon Smith with the Somerset Police Department.
Stephens was hit by 36-year-old Justin Litton of Somerset.
Police say Litton was driving in the eastbound lane and crossed over the center line into oncoming traffic.
However, before the accident happened Litton caught police's attention by sitting in his car in the Jones Bros. parking lot with his headlights off.
"The deputy from the Sheriff's Office, obviously suspicious of theft or burglary or some type of criminal activity going on, turned around and was in the process of checking that car," said Smith.
But within less than a mile of the deputy's following the car, Litton hit Stephen's Suzuki.
Stephens was pronounced dead shortly after the accident and Litton was flown to UK hospital for leg injuries.
Police found alcohol containers in the back of Litton's car, and say they are investigating if he was under the influence during the crash.
Litton is currently at UK Hospital listed in fair condition. Police say he was not wearing his seat belt.
Stephens, on the other hand, was wearing his.

WaterSmart Software, a small startup in San Francisco, is working with local water districts in California and other states to transform water meter data into easy-to-understand home water reports that are mailed directly to homeowners or made accessible via the Web and mobile devices. And given the state's ongoing drought, it's a good time to be in the business of promoting water conservation.
The company's clients include the cities of Palo Alto, Cotati and Sacramento, the Soquel Creek Water District, and the East Bay Municipal Utility District, or EBMUD. WaterSmart helps households compare their water use to neighborhood averages, which has proved effective at driving conservation and savings. WaterSmart has been described as Opower, but for water; Opower is the software-as-a-service company for the electric utility industry that celebrated its $116 million IPO earlier this year. The Mercury News recently sat down with Peter Yolles, WaterSmart's founder and CEO, in the company's San Francisco office; the interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Q: How did you become a water guy?
A: I've always been fascinated politically by the question of who gets how much water and why. I like the people in water; they are really dedicated. I worked for a number of environmental groups like the Pacific Institute. I went on to do water studies at Yale and did project finance at GE Capital, also in water. And then I came back to California and did water rights trading, where we were marketing water from agricultural districts and selling it.
Q: Has Opower's success helped you tell your story? Does being the Opower of water help you?
A: The phrase Opower for water was actually coined by one of our early investors. In Silicon Valley, if you see a successful business model, you latch on to that. It certainly made it an easier story. Opower raised a lot of money and it was easy to get people on board with the concept. But water is a different industry than electricity. There's very little overlap between utilities that manage gas and electricity and utilities that manage water. It's a different mind set, and different people.
Q: In electricity, there are three big utilities in California. If you have PG&E as a client, you basically have access to millions of customers and most of Northern California. As WaterSmart pursues new business, how do you crack the sheer volume of small water districts that are out there?
A: The water industry is very fragmented, and water is largely a local resource. So we try to find progressive leaders in the region who can lead the way. In the Bay Area, we found a real champion in Richard Harris, the conservation director at East Bay MUD. He's been wanting to do something like this for a decade. We started with a pilot project, and now we're expanding to 100,000 homes.
Q: What drives behavior change around water conservation the most? Is it comparing to neighbors or tips on what you can do to become more water efficient?
A: It's really social comparisons. We're all social animals. Behavior change is the right way to communicate about resource efficiency. If you ask people what motivates them, they would never say it's because of the people around me, but that's really what it is. You can talk about drought, or rivers drying up and fish dying, but what people care about is themselves. The home water report is all about them.
Q: What's the national market for your company? Is it just the drought states of the West?
A: The drought states are our core, but 36 states are in some form of water stress. Every state is a potential place for WaterSmart to do business.
Q: Do you think that water is finally grabbing the attention of the venture capital and technology community?
A: I've never seen people talking about water more than they do today. I hear about it on MUNI and when I'm standing in line at the grocery store -- people are talking about water all the time. Climate change is the issue of our time, and the hydrologic cycle is how climate change manifests itself: We see more deluges and floods and droughts and sea level rise. Water is rising in our consciousness.

The 36-acre Annapolis campus is in the heart of the historic capital of Maryland, on the Chesapeake Bay. Annapolis is within 30 miles of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. While most students live on campus, the city of Annapolis has much to offer. Annapolis harbor with its luxury yachts and racing sailboats; coffee shops and art galleries; historic colonial architecture; even a fringe festival (organized by a Johnnie alum). When students need a break from the rigors of class or when they simply want to continue the conversation in a different setting, Annapolis has numerous options to enjoy. Washington, D.C. has museums, theater, clubs, shopping, plus opportunities to take advantage of programs with political and international organizations and policy centers. Baltimore, a vibrant waterfront city with activities from the funky to the cultural, is only a half hour from campus.
St. John's College is a direct descendant of King William's School, founded in 1696. The present site of the college was proposed as early as 1761, and when the college was chartered by the state of Maryland in 1784, it was given the unfinished building now known as McDowell Hall and four acres of land. Since that time, St. John's has added to its campus, which now covers about 36 acres. The campus in Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, is a National Historic Landmark and lies within the Annapolis Historic District.
Students in Annapolis can explore the rich heritage of colonial America. Because of its location at the confluence of the Severn River and the Chesapeake Bay, Annapolis has long been a sailing center. Students can participate in sailing, crew, and individual rowing. Annapolis is within an hour's drive of the cultural attractions of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.

Visitors come to catch the action at the predawn bluefin-tuna auctions and watch fishmongers hoist the massive tuna, at right. Or they can eat at one of the many restaurants, such as Tsukiji Itadori, above, where chef Hiroyuki Murata prepares sushi. The market won't be in its iconic Chuo Ward location much longer.

Jerad Grundy worked six innings and allowed only one run while fanning a career-high nine and No. 11 Kentucky got four hits – including three doubles –from senior Thomas McCarthy to post a 5-1 win over No. 21 Mississippi State to clinch a berth in the Southeastern Conference Tournament Semifinals, in front of 6,798 on a steamy Thursday afternoon at Regions Park.
Kentucky (43-15) rode the strong pitching outings from Grundy and senior Alex Phillips, and McCarthy's four-hit, three-double game for the 5-1 win over the Bulldogs. The win came against a red-hot Mississippi State club that entered the tilt having won 13 of its last 17 games vs. SEC foes.
UK fell behind in a 1-0 hole in the first inning as Grundy allowed three of his four hits in the game, before the southpaw settled in to dominate the bats of the Bulldogs. The Wildcats plated five unanswered runs, including two in the third, one in the fifth and two in the ninth for the win.
"I thought there were a few keys," UK head coach Gary Henderson said. "One was Jerad [Grundy] finding his rhythm in the second inning. Obviously he faltered a little bit in the first. Just in terms of delivery rhythm and getting ahead, I think we had four 2-0 counts in the first inning. So for him to be able to find a rhythm and create a bit of momentum for us created a little bit more excitement in the dugout."
With the win, UK advances to the SEC Tournament Semifinals on Saturday and will receive a bye on Friday after its 2-0 start to the tournament. In SEC Tournament modern era history (1998-present), UK's top-four finish will mark the best finish in school annals. UK's two SEC Tournament wins is its most since winning two games in the 1996 SEC Tournament. UK finished second in the SEC Tournament in 1981 when only four teams were invited to the field, before the SEC Tournament grew to eight teams from 1998-2011 and to a 10-team field in 2012.
Grundy (5-3) worked six strong innings, allowing four hits and one run, walking two and striking out a career-high nine. Grundy allowed three hits and one run in the first inning before settling in to allow only one single and two walks over his final five frames. Phillips, a native of Tenino, Wash., replaced him in the bottom of the seventh inning, working three hitless innings to secure the win and pick up his seventh save of the year.
"First inning, I was struggling to find my fastball," Grundy said. "Second inning on, I found real control over my secondary stuff, my slider and my changeup. I kept it down for the most part, and that is why I was able to get the strikeouts. It is a mental approach. I have had the same first inning a couple of times throughout the season in my starts. It is something that I should address moving forward into the regionals."
A native of Corvallis, Ore., McCarthy led UK's 12-hit offensive charge with his career-high three doubles and four hits, plating three runs. Michael Williams added a career-high three hits, with A.J. Reed and Luke Maile each contributing two hits, with Reed notching two RBI. UK also got a hit from Cameron Flynn, with Zac Zellers and Austin Cousino getting plunked by pitches, Matt Reida drawing a walk and J.T. Riddle contributing a sacrifice fly.
"Today was a good day for me," McCarthy said. "I finally relaxed at the plate and let it travel. I feel like it worked out for me."
Mississippi State (36-22) starter Kendall Graveman (4-4) worked 2.1 innings, allowing five hits and two runs, not issuing a walk and striking out one. He was replaced by Luis Pollorena, who worked two innings, allowing two hits and one run, walking one. Ross Mitchell took over in the fifth inning working 1.2 shutout innings, striking out one. Ben Bracewell then worked two innings, allowing one hit, one run and one walk, striking out three. Taylor Stark got one out in the ninth inning, allowing two hits and a run, before Nick Routt got the final two outs of the frame.
The Wildcats will return to action on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET at Regions Park. UK will face the winner of Friday's elimination game between Mississippi State and LSU at 4 p.m. ET. The game will be televised live on CSS with Matt Stewart and Rusty Ensor on the call. The UK IMG Radio Network will broadcast the game live, available in Central Kentucky on WLAP 630-AM, in Louisville on WKJK 1080-AM and online at UKathletics.com.
Kentucky put some pressure on the Bulldogs in their first plate appearance but weren't able to bring in the two baserunners. With one out in the top half of the first, McCarthy doubled down the left field line. An out later and McCarthy still on second, Reed legged out a grounder deep into the six hole that would be ruled an error on the shortstop. Graveman forced a groundout to second baseman, Sam Frost, to avoid any damage in the top of the first.
Mississippi State took the lead early as Adam Frazier led off the Bulldogs with a single up the middle in the bottom half of the first. Grundy retired Brent Brownlee with a strikeout but Hunter Renfroe reached on an infield single down the third baseline. Two outs and runners on first and second, Porter lined a ball into right center to give the Bulldogs the first lead of the game, scoring Frazier and advancing Renfroe to third. Grundy left two stranded to get out of the inning but not before Mississippi State took an early 1-0 lead.
Kentucky threatened again in the top of the second, moving runners to first and second with just one out but was unable to push the runs across once again. Flynn got the Wildcats started with a one-out, line-drive single to leftfield. Zellers stepped in and reached on a hit by pitch to put runners on first and second. Reida flew out in foul territory down the leftfield line on an impressive play by Mississippi State leftfielder Demarcus Henderson, running over the steep bullpen mound that sits in foul territory in leftfield to make the catch near the wall. Graveman ended the inning with a strikeout, surrendering no runs and stranding two for the Wildcats.
After the challenging first inning, Grundy settled down and struck out the side on just 12 pitches, all three swinging.
McCarthy got the Wildcats started in the top of the third, lining a base hit up the middle. Maile followed suit with a single up the middle and advanced to second on the throw to third unsuccessfully attempting to nab McCarthy taking third, runners on second and third with no outs for Kentucky. Williams knocked Graveman out of the game with a single through the right side that scored McCarthy. Pollerena took the hill for the Bulldogs with runners on and first and third. Riddle, the first batter to face Pollerena, flew out to right field but Maile was able to tag and score from third. Riddle's sacrifice fly gave the Wildcats a 2-1 lead through three and a half.
Grundy took the hill in the bottom of the third and tallied his fourth consecutive strikeout, getting leadoff hitter Frazier swinging. Brownlee reached on a walk and Renfroe singled through the left side to put runners on first and second but Grundy fought back, recording his sixth strikeout in just eight outs and forcing a pop out to McCarthy at third left two stranded for Mississippi State.
Grundy pitched another flawless inning in the bottom of the fourth, forcing a lineout to Riddle at second for the first out of the inning. Another strikeout in the book for Grundy, sitting down Wes Rea and forcing a fly out to Cousino in center would send the game into the fifth with the Wildcats still holding onto a 2-1 lead.
McCarthy led off Kentucky in the top of the fifth with a double down the right field line, his second double of the day and third hit of the day. Maile flied out to deep center, advancing McCarthy to third with one out. Reed recorded his second RBI of the tournament with a base hit to centerfield that brought McCarthy across the plate. A base on balls for Williams put runners on first and second with just one out and brought Pollerena's outing to an end. Mitchell took the mound for Mississippi State and quickly got out of the inning, forcing a line-drive out to Frost at second who doubled off Reed at second. Kentucky extended its lead to 3-1 as the game headed to the bottom half of the fifth.
Grundy pitched a quick bottom half of the fifth, retiring the first three batters on just 11 pitches. A leadoff line out to Riddle at second followed by a soft ground out back to Grundy retired the first two batters for Mississippi State. With two outs, Grundy struck out Brownlee for the second time of the game and his eighth strikeout on the day.
Mitchell matched Grundy in the top of the sixth, retiring the side in just 11 pitches, striking out the leadoff and forcing two infield pop outs.
For a fifth consecutive inning, Grundy retired the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the sixth. Mitch Slauter reached on a base on balls and advanced to second on a bunt from Trey Porter that McCarthy barehanded and threw over to first for the second out of the inning. Grundy struck out Henderson to end the inning and tie a season-high nine strikeouts in a game.
Cousino led off for Kentucky in the top of the seventh, reaching on a hit by pitch. Mitchell got up 1-2 on McCarthy before being replaced by Bracewell on the mound who finished off the strikeout for the first out of the inning. Mitchell struck out the remaining two batters to leave Cousino stranded and keep the Wildcats lead at 3-1.
Kentucky senior reliever Alex Phillips took over in the bottom of the seventh and forced a fly out to right field to record the first out of the inning. Nick Ammirati pinch hit for Frost and struck out looking. Phillips plunked Norris to put a runner on with two outs but a Zellers diving catch in leftfield ended the seventh inning with no runs scored.
Williams led off the top of the eighth with a single into centerfield, his second hit of the game and third time reaching base. A wild pitch advanced Williams to second before Riddle lined out on a sliding catch by Mississippi State centerfielder Renfroe. A fly out to deep left center from Flynn would allow for Williams to tag and advance to third but a ground out to second ended the inning with Williams stuck on third.
Phillips sat down the side in the bottom of the eighth, forcing a ground out to short, a fly out to center and a swinging strike out, the fourth inning of the game the Wildcats didn't allow a runner to reach base.
Kentucky poured it on the top of the ninth, adding two insurance runs. Reida reached on a leadoff walk that would force Mississippi State to make another trip to the bullpen, bringing Stark to the mound. Following a botched bunt attempt, Reida made his way to second via a wild pitch. McCarthy knocked in Reida with his third double of the game, a tie for a SEC Tournament single-game record. Maile kept it going with a single through the left side, putting McCarthy on third with one out. Routt took over on the mound as the third Bulldog pitcher of the inning. Recording his second RBI of the game, Reed hit a sacrifice fly to centerfield to bring home McCarthy. Williams singled into right center with two outs, advancing Maile to third but Williams and Maile would be stranded after a groundout to end the inning. The Wildcats extended their lead to 5-1 entering the last half inning of play.
Recording his seventh save of the season, Phillips retired the Bulldogs in the bottom of the ninth. After a leadoff strikeout, Phillips walked Henderson but a 4-6-3 double play sealed the 5-1 victory for Kentucky.

Roses are red, spirits are high,
and oh thank goodness, the parade will be dry.
Rose Parade watchers can expect cool but dry weather Tuesday, as a frigid storm system that dropped rain on the Southland over the weekend was predicted to move on by Sunday morning, according to Weather Specialist Stuart Seto of the National Weather Service.
"It won't rain on the parade," he said, adding that the cold storm system that visited Southern California over the weekend was expected to dry out by sunrise Sunday.
The last time the Tournament of Roses Parade saw wet weather was in 2006, according to Seto.
Low-temperatures around 43 degrees are expected Tuesday morning, when thousands line the streets of Pasadena to watch the iconic parade on New Year's Day, Seto said. Parade-goers will have to bundle up with the high predicted to be only 60 degrees.
"It's good for the flowers," he said. "Everyone else bring jackets, coats, gloves and a scarf."
The weather will warm slightly later in the week, when temperatures climb to around 64 degrees Wednesday through Friday, according to the NWS.
The weekend storm moved down from the Gulf of Alaska, bringing lots of cold air with it, Seto said. "It was very cold and generated a lot of thunderstorm action."
But it dropped no more than a quarter-inch of rain on most portions of the San Gabriel Valley as of Saturday afternoon, according to the NWS.
Snow levels in Wrightwood were expected to fall to 3,700 feet by the time the storm moves out of the area Sunday morning, forecasters said.
California Highway Patrol logs indicated numerous reports of spun-out vehicles at mile marker 32 of Angeles Crest Highway Saturday morning.
CHP officials announced around noon Saturday that all vehicles heading up Angeles Crest Highway north of La Canada Flintridge were required to have snow chains on their tires.
In other weather-related news, a commercial flight headed to Los Angeles from Japan landed safely Saturday after the aircraft was struck by lighting, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
"Delta flight 284 from Narita (International Airport) to LAX reported a lightning strike about eight miles northwest of LAX at 6,000 to 8,000 feet altitude," according to FAA spokesman Ian Gregor.
The Airbus A330 landed safely at LAX at 8:05 a.m., he said.
"There was no damage to the aircraft," he added.
The weekend storm also produced three waterspouts, Seto said. Two were reported about 9:45 a.m. about one mile west of the Los Angeles Harbor entrance, while another was spotted minutes earlier about 19 miles west of Oceanside.
The wet weather is attributed to playing a part in a multi-vehicle crash on Sierra Road in Fontana on Saturday afternoon which left four people injured, one seriously.
Electricity was temporarily knocked out to portions of Lucerne Valley early Saturday afternoon when a truck struck a power pole on Highway 247 near Post Office Road.
Caltrans issued chain restrictions on San Bernardino and Los Angeles mountain roads as snow began to fall in the Wrightwood, Big Bear, Running Springs and Mt. Baldy areas.
Several small crashes and an increase number of vehicles on the road making their way to Las Vegas turned the northbound lanes of the 15 Freeway into a virtual parking lot. Traffic was stop and go from BaseLine Road in Rancho Cucamonga to the 215 Freeway. It was still heavy Saturday afternoon until motorists reached Highway 138 when traffic finally began to clear up.
Overnight low-temperatures are predicted to remain in the upper-30s and 40s through Friday.
Seto advised Southland residents residents to bring potted plants indoors, especially recently planted ones, to prevent cold damage. He also reminded pet-owners to make sure their animals are not exposed to the elements overnight.

Simon is mentioned on all four lists of the apostles. On two of them he is called "the Zealot." The Zealots were a Jewish sect that represented an extreme of Jewish nationalism. For them, the messianic promise of the Old Testament meant that the Jews were to be a free and independent nation. God alone was their king, and any payment of taxes to the Romans—the very domination of the Romans—was a blasphemy against God. No doubt some of the Zealots were the spiritual heirs of the Maccabees, carrying on their ideals of religion and independence. But many were the counterparts of modern terrorists. They raided and killed, attacking both foreigners and "collaborating" Jews. They were chiefly responsible for the rebellion against Rome which ended in the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.
It is a reminder that we cannot receive too often. Holiness does not depend on human merit, culture, personality, effort or achievement. It is entirely God's creation and gift. God needs no Zealots to bring about the kingdom by force. Jude, like all the saints, is the saint of the impossible: only God can create his divine life in human beings. And God wills to do so, for all of us.

Combination furniture : commode with doors, secretaire in drawer, wardrobe
Roger Van der Cruse (1728-1794), known as Lacroix (a translation of his surname), was for a long time only known by the mysterious stamp of RVLC.
Although he mainly worked for other, the dealer Poirier (circa 1720-1785) and the cabinetmakers Pierre IV Migeon (1701-1758) and Jean-François Oeben (1721-1763), he took on major commissions for his guild. He produced work for the Crown in the early 1770's, through the intermediary of the Court cabinetmaker Gilles Joubert (1689-1775).
After becoming a master craftsman in 1755, he first practised flower pattern marquetry, and then favoured geometric patterns: lattices (some featuring cornflowers), interlocking lozenges and intertwined hearts and lozenges. In the 1760's, he and Oeben worked with interlocking circles. At a time when mahogany was the most popular wood, he preferred cladding made of light woods, rosewood and lemon tree wood. He mainly produced light furniture and chests of drawers, with straight bodies on curved feet.
RVLC made several secretary desks with a slightly curved shape opening with sliding panels, featuring toned-down rocaille bronzes. Later, the finished model of the secretary desk would open with a lid flap or cylinder. Inside, the partially coloured marquetry has retained its original brightness.

Samsung Takes Another Step Towards Succession
Samsung Group took another step on Monday towards realigning its vast range of affiliates in preparation for the next generation of its founding Lee family to take the reins of power.
The move comes after Cheil Industries – which started out as a fabric company back in the 1950s – recently sold its fashion business to Samsung Everland, the de facto holding company for the group. Just before selling its fashion business, the company also announced a deal in August to buy German lighting specialist Novaled, underscoring the group's plan to re-design the unit into a technology-focused company.
With the latest merger, Cheil will be folded into Samsung SDI, which makes rechargeable batteries used in Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and Apple's iPhones. The company, which was once a display maker for the group, has been steadily expanding its reach in making batteries, including those used to power electric-vehicles.
At the management level, the move marks another step towards consolidating Samsung's electronics business under the son of Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Kun-hee – Jay Y. Lee – and the non-electronics businesses, like fashion and food, under his two daughters – Lee Boo-jin and Seo-hyun – said Doh Hyun-woo, an analyst with Mirae Asset Securities. Samsung Electronics has an approximate 20% stake in Samsung SDI.
Samsung Group referred questions about the latest move to Samsung SDI.
Through a cobweb-like shareholding structure, Lee Kun-hee and his three children have control over roughly 80 Samsung affiliate companies. But the family has a way to go until the ownership is neatly divided into three big parts, with a stable hold by each of the children for respective businesses.
Samsung SDI said the latest move was intended to create synergies by combining its expertise as a battery maker together with those of Cheil Industries, which has long been making various electronics materials used in semiconductors and displays.
Investors appeared to agree, sending shares of Samsung SDI 6.6% higher on Monday.


text: This two-part article series presents an in-depth look at the process of freezing and solute distribution in cryovessels by using a scale-down model called the cryowedge. Part 1, published in the June issue of BioPharm International, discussed the evolution of solute distribution in the cryowedge during the freezing process. Here in Part 2, we discuss protein and solute cryoconcentration changes in the cryovessel. For the study, we prepared a comprehensive map of frozen state solute distribution in terms of protein concentration and osmolality. Solution properties were measured on core samples removed from the frozen mass and compared with data obtained from solution samples removed during the freezing process (presented in Part 1). The results are in general agreement. An approximately three-fold cryoconcentration was observed. The properties of the frozen mass as a function of depth in the cryowedge were assessed and the results suggest a significant effect of convection on protein concentration, osmolality, and density distribution during freezing. Active freezing systems can affect the overall distribution of ice and solute in the matrix, i.e., the macro-cryoconcentration, but not the micro-cryoconcentration experienced by the solute and protein in the matrix.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has studied Denver's Peyton Manning for a long time. And wow, can you ever tell.
Wilson talks like Manning. He prepares like Manning. Literally and metaphorically, he looks up to Manning.
As Wilson prepared this past week to face Manning and the Broncos in the Super Bowl, he said: "It will be great to go against Peyton. ... One day I want to be like him in terms of the way he thinks. He's just a master of the game. I'm working to get there. I'm on a constant quest for knowledge."
Wilson has soaked up lessons from Manning since he was a 10th-grader and went to Manning's passing academy. Manning was one of his counselors, but he has counseled thousands of kids in those camps over the years, and his memories of the experience are blurry. Wilson's are sharp.
"That was one of the better experiences of my life," Wilson said.
They are not the same player. Wilson is 25. Manning is 37. Wilson runs better. Manning is half a foot taller and far more adept at reading defenses.
But they could both run for political office and probably win. Wilson's teammates marvel at his study habits, which sound a whole lot like Manning's used to be before he had children and decided he needed more sleep.
Said Manning: "There was a time when I would come home from practice and I would stay up until 1-1:30 in the morning because I had to watch all four of (the next opponent's) preseason games that night. I thought that if I didn't watch all four of those games, the world might come to an end. ... Maybe I was a robot early on. Now maybe I am a little more human."
Wilson is still in the robot stage. He is young and free to devote 24 hours a day to football. Often, when you listen to him, it appears that he does. He still sounds like a graduate student in football -- a really smart one working on a doctorate. Manning, though, is the professor.
Gushed Wilson of Manning: "He's so consistent every year in his ability to make plays and put his team in a great position to win. That's what I want to be like. That's how I'm working to be."
Manning, on the other hand, has been reflective and expansive. He knows this week is different and hasn't tried to fight that.
After four neck surgeries, Manning found his second act in Denver. He had the best NFL regular season any quarterback has ever had this season. And he took no offense when Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman said again that Manning throws "ducks." It's obvious to everyone Manning's arm strength isn't what it was, and his passes sometimes flutter.
Manning has a wry veteran's sense of humor that Wilson hasn't perfected. Wilson answers every question with an A-student's earnestness. Manning delights in tweaking himself.
Manning is not the only quarterback Wilson has studied. He is considered a "short" quarterback at 5-foot-11 (Manning is 6-5), and so he has also taken an independent study course in fellow "short" quarterback Drew Brees of New Orleans. Wilson once watched every throw Brees ever made in a season on tape.
Manning met Wilson again in the spring of 2012 when Wilson was on a pre-draft job interview with the Broncos.
Manning had just signed with Denver and was watching film. Wilson happened to be in Denver's building -- the Broncos were considering drafting him to become Manning's backup -- and the two got to visit awhile.
Seattle instead took Wilson with their third-round pick that year, and coach Pete Carroll almost immediately installed him as the starter.
The biggest difference this season has been touchdown passes (Manning had an NFL-record 55, Wilson a modest 26) and sacks. Manning gets the ball out so fast he was sacked only 18 times. Wilson likes to hold the ball sometimes and rely on his legs to scamper away from trouble. It doesn't always work, and he was sacked 44 times.
So there's more to learn. But the student hopes to master the teacher on Sunday, and he certainly believes that he can.
"I believed that I could go to the Super Bowl and win multiple Super Bowls and do all of those things," Wilson said. "I believe in that every day."
