"We want to put ourselves in a position where we're trying different things. We haven't decided what we think the right answer is, or if there is a single right answer ... There are certainly a lot of traditionalists who speak loudly. I remember running races before there were timing chips and that the innovation of timing chips and the thing called a chip time was a big change for running, there were traditionalists who felt it was absolutely wrong ... I think running is much better because people weren't afraid to innovate and try to make things better." — Ironman CEO Andrew Messick on the organization's SwimSmart initiative, which was announced in early 2013 to considerable backlash from age-group triathletes.

look at page 9 of the cello part. that's definitely a 3. (or one could say that that's a very whited-out 8, of course, looking at it the other way around. no, I think - and the plate list in which 8919 is definitely out-of-place and suggests a publishing date in the 1938 range, btw - but really, it just looks like a 3919 when zoomed in, most importantly... and less clearly but also on other pages.)

Welcome to the Feature of the Day for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013. Today we are talking about the new Word Documents.
Pam, does this mean that the Short/Long/Other form types will be able to be emailed? In GP2010, currently only the Blank forms can be emailed.
Yes, the additional forms will be able to be emailed. They would need to render them as templates and then the user will need to print them to the screen and email. Based on research we found that the blank form is the dominate form used by customers who do not have pre-printed forms so email is setup to only auto email the blank forms.
Just for clarification then, that particular aspect is unchanged, since we can already render short/long/other templates to the screen and email from there.
Thanks for all the great info, Pam!

University of the Pacific professor Ken Albala's book "Three World Cuisines: Italian, Mexican, Chinese" was named the 2012 best foreign cuisine book in the world last week by Gourmand International at the Paris Cookbook Fair.
The book previously had been named the best foreign cuisine book from America by Gourmand International.
"I was surprised when I was told I won," said Albala, who was notified Saturday night.
"It was such an honor to just be nominated, but to have my book named the best in the world is really beyond any of my expectations."
Albala, who teaches food history at Pacific, is the author or editor of 16 books on food, and he edited three food series for Greenwood Press as well as his four-volume "Food Cultures of the World Encyclopedia," which was published last year.
He also is co-editor of the journal Food Culture and Society and general editor of the new series AltaMira Studies in Food and Gastronomy, for which he wrote "Three World Cuisines." He recently edited the Routledge "International Handbook of Food Studies" and is now working on a three-volume Food Issues encyclopedia for Sage Publications.
A DVD of his Global History of Food class will be available from The Great Courses company this spring.
This is not the first of Albala's books to win an international award.
"Beans: A History" was the winner of the 2008 International Association of Culinary Professionals Jane Grigson Award.

Vanilla-Bay Poached Pears with Saffron Crème Anglaise
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I wanted to incorporate the flavors of vanilla with something a little out-of-the ordinary. A new acquisition, Gâteaux from the Fait Maison series of cookbooks, gives the recipe for a pear-saffron cake. But I had poached pears in mind, and wanted to incorporate a little fresh bay with the more usual vanilla and the saffron. A favorite of mine in savory preparations like rice pilaf, fresh bay has a hint of sweetness. I thought it would marry well with saffron and vanilla. A quick perusal of recipes from the Epicurious website provided the technique for poached pears from the March, 1997, issue of Gourmet magazine. I left out the Port and spices. For a crème Anglais I looked to the February, 1998, issue of Bon Appetit. I updated them with my flavor additions to achieve the delicate and complimentary flavors below. The crème Anglais would be as delicious with poundcake and raspberries as it is with the pears. Please note that the bay leaves must be fresh, not dry. —creamtea
Serves 6
For the Crème Anglaise (best made a day ahead)
- 1 pinch saffron threads
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup light cream
- 1 2-3 inch vanilla bean, split, the seeds scraped with the point of a sharp knife
- 2 fresh bay leaves (not California), twisted along the central stem to crack and release aromas; try not to detach the pieces
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
- 3 tablespoons organic sugar
- 4 large egg yolks
- Pre-heat oven to 200º. Place saffron threads on a small square of aluminum foil, about 3 1/2" on a side, separating slightly,
- Place foil in oven and toast saffron 7-8 minutes. Set aside.
- Place about 2" of water in the bottom half of a double-boiler and set upon a medium flame. Bring to a simmer and turn heat to low.
- In a small heavy saucepan, combine milk, cream, reserved saffron, vanilla seeds (whisk to disperse the seeds) and the shell of the vanilla bean, bay leaves, and salt. Scald over medium-low heat (tiny bubbles will form beads at the very edge of the milk). Remove from heat, remove bay leaves, and allow to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl or top of double boiler, beat eggs with sugar. Pour cream mixture in a thin stream into eggs, whisking. When combined, place mixture over (not in) simmering water in base of double boiler and whisk constantly until custard thickens slightly and coats the back of a wooden spoon. A finger drawn across the custard on the spoon will leave a clear path. Strain sauce into a bowl, cover surface with plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator to chill. Allow to ripen 1 day to meld flavors.
For the poached pears
- 6 firm but ripe Bartlett pears, a thin slice taken off the bottom of each to enable it to stand, and peeled, leaving stems intact.
- 5-6 (or more) cups water
- 1/3 cup organic sugar
- 2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed, strained lemon juice
- 2 fresh bay leaves (not California), twisted along the central stem to crack and release aromas; try not to detach the pieces
- 1 vanilla bean (left intact)
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
- In a saucepan or kettle large enough to hold the the pears, combine water, sugar, lemon juice, bay leaves, vanilla bean and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar.
- Carefully arrange pears on their sides in bottom of pan, add enough additional water to just barely cover, return heat to simmer, and reduce heat.
- Poach until cooked through and tender, about 35-45 minutes. Remove pears to a heatproof dish and continue simmering syrup until it is thickened and measures about 1 cup. Pour syrup over pears and cool to room temperature, or, alternatively, chill in refrigerator. Serve pears with Crème Anglaise as an accompaniment

Easily create sprite coordinate scripts in the "no plugin" script editor for any game engine or programming language. Export custom PNG images not found in other editors for a smaller file size. Check out the feature list below!
Feature List:
• Open Image Folder – Import a folder of images. Images can be of various size and format. Sequence images load best when numbered. If your last image has double digits (MyImage25.png) then the first image should have double digits (MyImage01.png), else the images will not load in order or load alphabetically.
• Import Image – Add a single image to your already loaded images. This image will be put at the end of the list. So just make sure you load them all the first time.
• Delete Image – Deletes an image. Image id's will be automatically recalculated and put back in numerical order.
• Drag Image – Move images around with the mouse to reposition them.
• Multi-Select/Drag – Select multiple images and drag them.
• Rotate Image – Right click on an image to rotate it -90 degrees.
• Reset Columns – Set column/sheet width by selecting an image and using "command + R" keys. If you want to add another column after using "command + R", just move the top-right image to the right a bit and use "command + R" again.
• Quick Sprite Strip – When images are initially loaded, they are laid out in a sprite sheet format. You can quickly change them to a sprite strip by using the "command + T" keys.
• Snap to Grid – Snaps images to the grid to easily align the images. It snaps to every 8th pixel.
• Clip Alpha Image – Clip 32bit images by using the "-" and "+" (Shift + on a compact keyboard) keys so you can overlap the images. This evenly clips the width (or height if rotated) of all the images, so it doesn't interfere with the animation sequence. You can use the "command + R" keys to collapse the images to their new clip size.

IX HADRON PHYSICS AND VII RELATIVISTIC ASPECTS OF NUCLEAR PHYSICS: A Joint Meeting on QCD and QCP
Introduction to Nonequilibrium Quantum Field Theory739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843591View Description Hide Description
There has been substantial progress in recent years in the quantitative understanding of the nonequilibrium time evolution of quantum fields. Important topical applications, in particular in high energy particle physics and cosmology, involve dynamics of quantum fields far away from the ground state or thermal equilibrium. In these cases, standard approaches based on small deviations from equilibrium, or on a sufficient homogeneity in time underlying kinetic descriptions, are not applicable. A particular challenge is to connect the far‐from‐equilibrium dynamics at early times with the approach to thermal equilibrium at late times. Understanding the "link" between the early‐ and the late‐time behavior of quantum fields is crucial for a wide range of phenomena. For the first time questions such as the explosive particle production at the end of the inflationary universe, including the subsequent process of thermalization, can be addressed in quantum field theory from first principles. The progress in this field is based on efficient functional integral techniques, so‐called n‐particle irreducible effective actions, for which powerful nonperturbative approximation schemes are available. Here we give an introduction to these techniques and show how they can be applied in practice. Though we focus on particle physics and cosmology applications, we emphasize that these techniques can be equally applied to other nonequilibrium phenomena in complex many body systems.
Thermodynamics of the high temperature Quark‐Gluon Plasma739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843592View Description Hide Description
These lectures are a brief introduction to some of the weak coupling techniques used to decribe the physics of the quark‐gluon plasma at high temperature.
Three lectures on the Color Glass Condensate739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843593View Description Hide Description
We summarize the theory and phenomenology of the Color Glass Condensate reviewed previously by E. Iancu and the author in hep‐ph/0303204. We discuss some of the subsequent developments in the past year both in theory and in phenomenological applications.
Higgs picture of the QCD‐vacuum739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843594View Description Hide Description
The functional integral for QCD is reformulated by introducing explicitly an integration over the fluctuations of composite quark‐antiquark bound states. Chiral symmetry breaking by the color singlet scalar field induces masses for the fermions. Our formulation with scalar fluctuations may be useful for lattice gauge theories by modifying the spectrum of the Dirac operator in the vacuum and permitting a simple connection to chiral perturbation theory. We propose that a "condensate" of quark‐antiquark bound states in the color octet channel generates masses of the gluons by the Higgs mechanism. A simple effective action for quarks, gluons and (composite) scalars yields a surprisingly good description of the charges, masses and interactions of all low mass physical excitations — baryons, pseudoscalars and vector mesons. Dressed quarks appear as baryons and dressed gluons as vector mesons.
Thermalization at RHIC739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843595View Description Hide Description
Ideal hydroynamics provides an excellent description of all aspects of the single‐particle spectra of all hadrons with transverse momenta below about 1.5‐2 GeV/c at RHIC. This is shown to require rapid local thermalization at a time scale below 1 fm/c and at energy densities which exceed the critical value for color deconfinement by an order of magnitude. The only known thermalized state at such energy densities is the quark‐gluon plasma (QGP). The rapid thermalization indicates that the QGP is a strongly interacting liquid rather than the weakly interacting gas of quarks and gluons that was previously expected.
Strangeness observables and pentaquarks739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843596View Description Hide Description
We review the experimental evidence on firstly, strangeness production as a signature for the QCD phase transition and secondly, pentaquarks, the latest and most exotic manifestations of strangeness in hadrons.
Strangeness Excitation Function in Heavy Ion Collisions739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843597View Description Hide Description
We study as function of energy strangeness created in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We consider statistical hadronization with chemical freeze‐out in both equilibrium and nonequilibrium. We present strangeness per baryon and per entropy in the energy range of SPS and RHIC. A baryon density independent evaluation of the kaon to pion ratio is presented.
Pion Dynamics at Finite Temperature and Density739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843598View Description Hide Description
The density corrections, in terms of the isospin chemical potential μ1 to the mass of the pions are studied in the framework of the SU (2) low energy effective chiral lagrangian in the two phases: The normal phase |μ1| < m π and the condensed phase |μ1| > m π. The pion decay constant f π(T,μ1) is also analyzed in the first phase. As a function of temperature for μ1 = 0, the mass remains quite stable, starting to grow for very high values of T, confirming previous results. However, there are interesting corrections to the mass when both effects (temperature and chemical potential) are simultaneously present. At zero temperature the π± should condense when μ1 = ±m π. This is not longer valid anymore at finite T. The mass of the π0 acquires also a non trivial dependence on μ1 due to the finite temperature. In the second phase we are able to calculate the thermal and density evolution of masses in the limits where |μ1| ≫ m and where |μ1| ∼ m. We also identified the phase transition curve.
Electroweak amplitudes in chiral quark models739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843599View Description Hide Description
After referring to some basic features of chiral models for baryons, with quarks and mesons, we describe how to construct model states representing physical baryons. We consider soliton models such as the Linear Sigma Model or the Chromodielectric Model, and bag models such as the Cloudy Bag Model. These models are solved approximately using variational approaches whose starting point is a mean‐field description. We go beyond the mean‐field description by introducing quantum fluctuations in the mesonic degrees of freedom. This is achieved, in a first step, by using a quantum state to represent meson clouds and, secondly, by performing an angular momentum and isospin projection from the mean‐field state (actually a coherent state). Model states for baryons (nucleon, Delta, Roper) constructed in this way are used to determine several physical properties. I this seminar we paid a particular attention to the nucleon‐delta electromagnetic and weak transition, presenting the model predictions for the electromagnetic and axial amplitudes.
Running coupling constant from lattice studies of gluon and ghost propagators739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843600View Description Hide Description
We present a numerical study of the running coupling constant in four‐dimensional pure‐ SU (2) lattice gauge theory. The running coupling is evaluated by fitting data for the gluon and ghost propagators in minimal Landau gauge. Following Refs. [1, 2], the fitting formulae are obtained by a simultaneous integration of the β function and of a function coinciding with the anomalous dimension of the propagator in the momentum subtraction scheme. We consider these formulae at three and four loops. The fitting method works well, especially for the ghost case, for which statistical error and hyper‐cubic effects are very small. Our present result for Λ MS is MeV, where the error is purely systematic. We are currently extending this analysis to five loops in order to reduce this systematic error.
Time Dependence of QCD and Experimental Tests739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843601View Description Hide Description
From astrophysics there are indications that the finestructure constant α has changed during the past 10 billion years. Within grand unification one can deduce that also the QCD scale has changed. Tests for a time variation of this scale are described. The result of the experiment in Munich is discussed.
RHIC Physics: The Color Glass Condensate and the Quark Gluon Plasma739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843602View Description Hide Description
I discuss two forms of QCD matter which may be produced at RHIC. I conclude from the available empirical evidence that an equilibrated, but strongly coupled Quark Gluon Plasma has been made in such collisions. I also discuss the growing body of evidence that its source is a Color Glass Condensate.
Collective Flow signals the Quark Gluon Plasma739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843603View Description Hide Description
A critical discussion of the present status of the CERN experiments on charm dynamics and hadron collective flow is given. We emphasize the importance of the flow excitation function from 1 to 50 A⋅GeV: here the hydrodynamic model has predicted the collapse of the v 1‐flow and of the v 2‐flow at ∼ 10 A⋅GeV; at 40 A⋅GeV it has been recently observed by the NA49 collaboration. Since hadronic rescattering models predict much larger flow than observed at this energy we interpret this observation as potential evidence for a first order phase transition at high baryon density ρ B . A detailed discussion of the collective flow as a barometer for the equation of state (EoS) of hot dense matter at RHIC follows. Additionally, detailed transport studies show that the away‐side jet suppression can only partially (< 50%) be due to hadronic rescattering. We, finally, propose upgrades and second generation experiments at RHIC which inspect the first order phase transition in the fragmentation region, i.e. at μ B ≈ 400 MeV (y ≈ 4 – 5), where the collapse of the proton flow should be seen in analogy to the 40 A⋅GeV data. The study of Jet‐Wake‐riding potentials and Bow shocks — caused by jets in the QGP formed at RHIC — can give further information on the equation of state (EoS) and transport coefficients of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP).
Multi‐Module Modeling of Heavy Ion Reactions and the 3rd Flow Component739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843604View Description Hide Description
Fluid dynamical calculations with QGP showed a softening of the directed flow while with hadronic matter this effect is absent. On the other hand, we indicated that a third flow component shows up in the reaction plane as an enhanced emission, which is orthogonal to the directed flow. This is not shadowed by the deflected projectile and target, and shows up at measurable rapidities, ycm = 1 – 2. To study the formation of this effect initial stages of relativistic heavy ion collisions are studied. An effective string rope model is presented for heavy ion collisions at RHIC energies. Our model takes into account baryon recoil for both target and projectile, arising from the acceleration of partons in an effective field. The typical field strength (string tension) for RHIC energies is about 5–12 GeV/fm, what allows us to talk about "string ropes". The results show that QGP forms a tilted disk, such that the direction of the largest pressure gradient stays in the reaction plane, but deviates from both the beam and the usual transverse flow directions. The produced initial state can be used as an initial condition for further hydrodynamical calculations. Such initial conditions lead to the creation of third flow component. Recent v 1 measurements are promising that this effect can be used as a diagnostic tool of the QGP. Collective flow is sensitive to the early stages of system evolution. To study the sensitivity of the flow signal, we have calculated flow harmonics from a Blast Wave model, a tilted, ellipsoidally expanding source. We studied recent experimental techniques used for calculation of the vn Fourier coefficients and pointed out a few possible problems connected to these techniques, which may impair the sensitivity of flow analysis.
Physics with Heavy Ions at LHC739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843605View Description Hide Description
We discuss the motivation to study heavy‐ion collisions at LHC, and the experimental conditions under which detectors will have to operate. A short description of the detectors under construction is given. Physics performance is illustrated on two examples, which will became accessible at LHC energies, jet quenching and heavy‐flavor production.
Cronin effect and high‐p ⊥ suppression from the Color Glass Condensate739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843606View Description Hide Description
I give a pedagogical survey of the nuclear collective effects associated with gluon saturation and their impact on particle production in high‐energy proton (or deuteron)‐nucleus collisions at RHIC. At central rapidity, the theory predicts a Cronin peak due to independent multiple scattering off the valence quarks in the nucleus. At forward rapidities, the peak flattens out and disappears very fast, because of the correlations induced through quantum evolution in the nuclear gluon distribution at small x. Also, the ratio R pA between the particle yield in proton‐nucleus and proton‐proton collisions is rapidly suppressed when increasing the rapidity, because of saturation effects which slow down the evolution of the nucleus compared to that of the proton. This behaviour could be responsible for a similar trend observed in the deuteron‐nucleus collisions at RHIC.
Ultra‐High Energy Cosmic Rays739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843607View Description Hide Description
We give a general introduction to high‐energy cosmic ray physics before discussing somewhat more in detail new results concerning solutions of the cascade equations for the air shower evolution.
Diquark and Baryon Properties and their Production Cross Sections in dense and hot Matter739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843608View Description Hide Description
Using an extended version of the Nambu Jona‐Lasinio Lagrangian we calculate the properties of diquarks and baryons in dense and hot hadronic matter. These properties are then used to calculate the production cross sections of diquarks and baryons at finite temperature.
Schwinger‐Dyson Equations and Dynamical gluon mass generation739(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1843609View Description Hide Description
We obtain a solution for the gluon propagador in Landau gauge within two distinct approximations for the Schwinger‐Dyson equations (SDE). The first, named Mandelstam's approximation, consist in neglecting all contributions that come from fermions and ghosts fields while in the second, the ghosts fields are taken into account leading to a coupled system of integral equations.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama is again braving the August heat and preseason hype.
The two-time defending national champion Crimson Tide opened fall camp on a steamy Friday with veterans practicing in the morning and newcomers in the evening.
Coach Nick Saban and players dismissed the preseason No. 1 ranking in the coaches poll.
Saban, in fact, told reporters not to even ask about it. He says preseason polls are "to enhance the entertainment business" and every team is doing the same thing as Alabama right now.
Safety HaHa Clinton-Dix says he only pays attention to "what we earned."
The Tide has 13 returning starters but must replace three first-round draft picks.
Saban says tight end Malcolm Faciane is suspended "for behavior reasons." He says freshman defensive lineman Darius Paige has been medically disqualified.

How is trachoma detected?
Trachoma is a chronic infection of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane that covers the outer surface of the eye and the inside lining of the eyelids. It is caused by a microorganism that grows only within eyelid cells, and it is one of the oldest infectious diseases, dating back several thousand years. Because the disease is not fatal and causes progressive rather than sudden damage to the eyes, it is often not taken seriously and may even be accepted as a fact of life in some countries. The trachoma infection is the leading cause of blindness in the world.
The disease is rare in the United States and is most often seen in third-world and developing nations where poverty, overcrowding, personal hygiene, and access to clean water and health care are problems. It is prevalent in many African countries, parts of Central and South America, and some countries in the Eastern Mediterranean and in Asia.
Trachoma is caused by infection with the microorganism Chlamydia trachomatis and is highly infectious, usually spread by contact with eye or nose discharge from an infected person. It is also transmitted by flies and gnats that are attracted to eyes and runny noses. Because it is easily transmitted from person to person, the disease often strikes entire communities.
How is trachoma detected?
In the early stages, trachoma resembles conjunctivitis. It starts with an inflamed outer lining of the eye (conjunctiva) and is accompanied with eye discharge and sticky, red eyes. Tearing, light sensitivity, swollen eyelids, pain, and corneal inflammation are some of the first symptoms. As the disease progresses over time, the recurring infections cause scarring on the inside of the eyelid. Eventually the inside of the eyelids are scarred so badly that they turn inward with the eyelashes rubbing the eyeballs, scratching the lenses of the eyes with each blink and causing corneal ulcerations that become infected. This scarring leads to blindness. Although trachoma begins in childhood, blindness usually does not occur until the age of 40 or 50 after repeated infections cause inflammation and scarring.
What is the treatment for trachoma?
In the early stages of the infection, antibiotics can effectively treat trachoma. However, if the disease progresses, as is often the case in underdeveloped countries, treatment becomes difficult. After scarring begins, a simple surgical procedure known as tarsal rotation is required to reverse the inturned eyelashes. Surgeries to repair lid deformities and corneal transplants are also options, but are not available to most people who are afflicted by the disease. Trachoma is preventable with proper diet, sanitation and education. By simply washing their faces and hands, children will not spread the infection.
Although blindness from trachoma has been eliminated in several countries around the world, the disease continues to be a serious public health problem in many underdeveloped areas.

The community is invited to celebrate the grand opening of Pierce College Puyallup's breathtaking new addition, the Arts and Allied Health Building, at 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 1.
The 61,600-square-foot Arts and Allied Health Building includes a theater, recital hall, music library, recording studio and practice rooms, art studios, and an expansive lobby with large windows, ample natural light, and high ceilings. It is also the new home of Pierce Puyallup's nursing program and features a fully-equipped nursing skills lab, lifelike (but synthetic and computerized) patients, and medication and observations rooms to provide real-life hospital experiences and state-of-the-art technology.
"The opening of this beautifully-designed building realizes a whole new set of possibilities for Pierce College Puyallup as both a great educational resource and a cultural destination for east Pierce County," said Patrick Schmitt, the president of Pierce College Puyallup.
The Pierce College Foundation is currently two-thirds of the way toward its goal of raising $1.5 million to equip the new building with high-tech equipment, such as nursing simulation equipment and digital recording equipment.
"The grand opening offers a great way to honor our donors who recognize the importance of providing students with high-tech, hands-on learning equipment," said Suzy Ames, vice president of advancement and executive director of the Pierce College Foundation.
Cost of the new building is about $18.7 million. Classes began in the new building on Sept. 22.
Following the formal program, there will be building tours and refreshments. In addition, artist Koryn Rolstad, creator of "Reflection in Motion," the new public art featured in the building, will be on-hand to answer questions and discuss the piece.
The public is welcome and encouraged to attend. Parking will be in the college's northwest parking lot. Signs will be posted the day of the event to direct visitors.

Who should pay for SDG&E wildfires?
A key decision is now in front of the California Public Utilities Commission – whether to provide San Diego Gas & Electric Company an express lane to be reimbursed by ratepayers for future fires they start. Known as "WEBA," the Wildfire Expense Balancing Account, this SDG&E application would establish a mechanism by which over 90 percent of uninsured costs arising from future wildfires started by the utility would be paid by customers. The battle over this ill-conceived plan has been going on for more than three years, pitting local groups and ratepayer advocates against the utility. At stake is not only the safety of backcountry San Diegans, but many hundreds of dollars from every SDG&E customer's pocket.
In October, two versions of a decision in this case were put forward: The proposed decision of Administrative Law Judge Maribeth Bushey denied SDG&E's application outright. An alternate decision by CPUC Commissioner Timothy Alan Simon approved the application only for certain types of losses ("inverse condemnation," for lawyers), and did not permit SDG&E to recover uninsured costs from its 2007 fire losses. On the positive side, neither decision gives SDG&E what it asks for. On the negative, both acknowledge that SDG&E will go forward to try to recover 2007 fire costs through another alternate "Z-factor" application at the CPUC. Simon's "split-the-baby" decision apparently pleased no one, and left the commission facing a confusing choice.
By asking Simon to "improve" his poorly thought-out plan that would have many unintended consequences, the commission has opened up the possibility that the 2007 uninsured fire costs might, as SDG&E is heavily lobbying for, be inserted back into the decision at the last minute. While Simon was asked to include a "reasonableness review" (whatever that ends up meaning) in his decision, it isn't at all clear what costs would be included under his "inverse condemnation" clause, since that claim is now part of most fire lawsuits. It is equally unclear how the commission will decide if SDG&E was at fault for fires it ignites, if a court has not already done so, also mandated by Simon's decision. We've therefore strongly urged the commission to accept Judge Bushey's proposed decision and reject Commissioner Simon's decision. And we're asking you to help us.
The stakes facing you as fellow San Diegans are daunting, as is clearly evident from SDG&E's September filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. According to the filing, the amount SDG&E is currently on the hook for on the 2007 fires it ignited has dropped to "only" some $300 million thanks to settlements it has received from Cox Communications and some of SDG&E's contractors. But SDG&E reported that it still has over $1.4 billion in claims pending against it from residents who were harmed in the 2007 firestorm. SDG&E has also told its shareholders that "it is probable that it will be permitted to recover from its utility customers substantially all reasonably incurred costs of resolving wildfire claims." That translates on the average more than $1,000 per San Diego County household if all claimed costs were collected.
This does not even address the safety impact, which is our greatest concern as rural Ramona residents. If SDG&E's shareholders don't have to worry about fires they start, you can bet it won't be high on the list of priorities they task SDG&E executives with. Shareholders need to lose sleep worrying about fires SDG&E might start and the moral hazard created by indemnifying SDG&E. We do.
We need to get beyond this pathological plan. While SDG&E will submit another application for 2007 uninsured fire costs, it clearly doesn't consider this a preferred option, which is a reason for hope. You can help by emailing the CPUC commissioners: President Michael Peevey (firstname.lastname@example.com); Commissioner Timothy Alan Simon (firstname.lastname@example.com)), Commissioner Catherine Sandoval (firstname.lastname@example.com); Commissioner Mike Florio (firstname.lastname@example.com); Commissioner Mark Ferron (firstname.lastname@example.com). You can also call the CPUC at (415) 703-2782. Ask for a commissioner's office. You can talk to all five offices this way.
Tell them you do not want to pay for fires in the future started by the SDG&E monopoly. You do not want to pay a penny for the 2007 fires – ever. And that you do want them to vote WEBA down on Dec. 20.
Conklin, a Ramona resident, is the spokesperson for the Mussey Grade Road Alliance and is an intervenor at the CPUC. Mitchell, who holds a doctorate in particle physics, is the alliance's fire expert.

CORRECTION, NOV. 28: Erika Ann Gibson's name and age were incorrect in print and initial online versions of this story. The error has been corrected.
LODI - San Joaquin County sheriff's deputies arrested Erika Ann Gibson, 29, on suspicion of malicious damage to property and resisting arrest after a series of events Monday.
Deputies were called to the Best Western in Flag City just before noon Monday when workers reported a female vandalizing a room. The suspect left in a green car, which was involved in a collision minutes later at DeVries and Turner roads west of Lodi. The occupants of the green car fled.
About 12:30 p.m., two people were reported running through a field, and a female was reported to be stealing a white Ford Explorer in the 18100 block of North DeVries. It was reportedly driving through a vineyard, causing some $10,000 damage to the vines in the 23400 block of North Ray Road west of Lodi.
About 12:50 p.m., the California Highway Patrol reported an accident near Thornton and Kile roads, near Thornton, involving the stolen Explorer. Deputies said they found Gibson walking in Thornton and used a canine to capture her.
Also arrested was a man who was with her, Manuel Rangel, 35, on suspicion of violation of felony warrants.

Filner swears in school board president
SAN DIEGO Newly elected San Diego Mayor Bob Filner returned to his political roots Tuesday, swearing in city school board President John Lee Evans near the dais where he once sat.
Evans was re-elected in November for a second term on the board that steers the San Diego Unified School District. He was unanimously re-elected as board president by trustees Tuesday.
"I am honored that Mayor Bob Filner, a former school board president, will be swearing me in for my second term," Evans said in a prepared statement.
Largely a ceremonial post, the president has historically served as the official spokesperson for the board. The president is also charged with setting meeting agendas and running public forums.
Filner started his long political career on the school board, holding office from 1979 to 1983.
"Mayor Filner emphasized the importance of neighborhoods in our city," Evans said. "At the district we are renewing our emphasis on a quality school in every neighborhood. Great schools build strong neighborhoods and strong neighborhoods build great schools."
Trustee Richard Barrera was also sworn in for his second term in office, having been re-elected unopposed in November.
Marne Foster, a community college educator, is the only new trustee to join the board this year, having defeated retired university administrator Bill Ponder. Foster succeeds Shelia Jackson, who stepped down from office.
In the annual reorganization of board officers, trustees elected Kevin Beiser vice president. He replaces Scott Barnett in that position.
San Diego Unified is California's second-largest district. The five-member board sets policy and helps manage a $1.1 billion budget.

DLA Piper to Mexico: Will You Be My Valentine?
Some Valentine's Day news from the apparently ever-expanding DLA Piper.
It's the latest global firm to set up shop in Mexico City, with a new 14-lawyer office set to open on Wednesday to serve multinational clients doing business in Mexico. The branch will be staffed by a team from the Texas law firm Thompson & Knight and will be part of DLA Piper LLP, the group's U.S. arm.
The move is part of a broader expansion into Latin America, the firm's U.S. co-chairman Terry O'Malley said Tuesday.
"We became involved with Brazil about 18 months ago. Mexico is the logical next step for us as the second-largest economy in Latin America," O'Malley said. "From our point of view, we want to be where our clients are doing business, and they are doing business in Mexico."
Multinational companies are taking a closer look at Mexico as the cost of production in China continues to rise, O'Malley said. Recent disruptions in the Asian supply chain caused by flooding in Thailand and the Japanese tsunami and resulting nuclear accident have also led some U.S. companies to reconsider the benefits of having suppliers close at hand, he said.
And voila: "Mexico becomes a more attractive location for manufacturing activities," O'Malley said.
On the downside, there's the issue of corruption and violence stemming from activity by drug cartels, particularly in the north and west of the country. But that hasn't dissuaded several big hotel chains from moving in either, according to this WSJ story.
DLA Piper certainly has company in the legal business, some of whom moved south of the border decades earlier. Baker & McKenzie arrived in Mexico in 1961, and White & Case got there in 1991. More recently, a number of other U.S. and international firms have moved into Mexico, drawn by the country's steady—if by no means dazzling—economic growth and strong recovery after the recession.
"The economy is doing well, there is plenty of job creation, and consumers are spending," said Carlos Ramirez, Mexico analyst for Eurasia Group. "And in 2012, most economic forecasters are anticipating that the economy is going to grow 3.5 to 4%, with 500,000 new jobs in that time."
Last year Greenberg Traurig established an office in Mexico City and the labor and employment firm Littler Mendelson PC opened new offices there with 30 and 25 attorneys, respectively. Jones Day got in on the action in 2009, via a merger with the Mexico City law firm De Ovando & Martinez del Campo, and now has about 25 lawyers there.

Genius. The fans' banner at Old Trafford was one of the biggest stories of last week, bizarrely, but all went off with nary a whimper - and in fact, most people on social media were pretty critical of fans exercising their right of free speech:

Speaking of people leaping to judgement, fans were all over John Terry after his own goal was the difference as Chelsea lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace:

— Bridgette Parlma (@BParlma) March 29, 2014
Perhaps the greatest overreaaction to the Palace match came not from Twitter, but from the post-match press conference. Here's Jose Mourinho's utterly ridiculous verdict on the game:
"I don't think now we can win the league. My four defenders, phenomenal performance, as always. The others I'd prefer not to analyse individually. We missed some qualities. Mentality and a little bit of quality. Mentality because the opponents beat us clearly on that. Strong mentality, aggressive, committed. Every one of them played, I think, at the top of their potential and that, in football, is important. "Clearly we have some players, because of their profile, who find it difficult to perform in some profile of matches. You have Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill and Azpilicueta and they perform in the sun, in the rain, small pitches, big pitches, aggressive teams, non-aggressive teams, possession teams, not possession teams and they perform every game from day one to the last day. And you have other players who are fantastic in some matches and disappear in other matches."
Chelsea weren't the only side to miss a trick on Saturday, of course. Both Arsenal and Manchester City came away disappointed with a 1-1 draw at The Emirates - and fans on both sides were unforgiving:
Oh dear. Hastily arranged fly-past at the Emirates just now (with thanks @GeneralBoles) #AFCvMCFC pic.twitter.com/WS5KaQ5MtF — David Schneider (@davidschneider) March 29, 2014

I've looked for the John Wayne drunken rant on "the Google" but can't seem to find it.
Matt if you want to quit smoking cloves but want that sweet taste to your nicotine maybe you should try electronic cigarettes. I've been using the Inferno from Volcano e-cigs and it's been pretty awesome. You still get the nicotine but you can also mix your own flavors, I know a lot of sites sell kits for making your own custom mixes so you can get the right flavor. I think that might be a good alternative to smoking clove cigarettes for you.
Lol, you gave away the secret guest on the pilot Big C!!!! Great episode though!!!!! Nick killed!!!
Great episode as usual. After Jonah's techamendation I subscribed to Rdio and added a bunch of Police albums to my collection. When you guys broke into So Lonely I got a good laugh. I also lived in Lomita and Torrance for a while and I'm a huge Minor Threat fan… I feel like you guys made this episode just for me.
Holy crap, I had tears, TEARS! Streaming down my face and stomach cramps from laughing so hard. Thank you Nick!!
Hell yeah, Cerebral Ballzy!!
I think you should have spliced some of Glass' dog-barking bit into your intro, it would have been a good time.
This was a good end to my day, so thanks!
*Golf Clap* Well done Nick, well done. You absolutely nailed the Casey K. rant.
Great epp. Love the hostfuls. Nice to hear Jonah talk about Straight Edge. Im 28 and still living it. But Jonah for the record Ian never broke he just thinks the label is silly. And he is right. Stop smoking Matt!
This is my favorite Hostful podcast ever. Jam-packed. STOP SMOKING MATT!

Beginning today, a new street pole banner campaign for UC Hastings is being installed along the streets surrounding the school. Not only will these banners help define the College's physical boundaries, they quickly express a succinct message and project a visually compelling design.
I am proud to see on display a great diversity of the UC Hastings community. Featured individuals include alumni San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi '85, Judge Katherine Feinstein '84, Kamala Harris '89, Mayor Willie Brown '58, Playwright Philip Kan Gotanda '78, and Lucia Martel-Dow LLM '12; Professors Joan C. Williams, Rory Little, and Osagie Obasogie; and Edward Mata '14.
I am also proud to see represented diverse perspectives on the value of the law—and legal education, by implication. Messages paired with each of the individuals begin with "Law is…" and then a single word to emphasize how the law can mean many things to many people:
View the full set of banners online. One round is going up today, and more will be installed along McAllister to replace banners from other organizations coming down this summer.
This campaign began as an initiative of Strategic Plan Implementation Goal #5 (Communicate Identity and Value). The banners are specifically designed will be placed to enhance the college's curbside appeal and reinforce our identity and brand—within the Tenderloin and for all who visit the campus. In addition, the pre-existing banners, after several years of committed service, would soon have been removed by the city.
I thank the SPI #5 team for their efforts, and especially commend co-chairs Communications Director Alex A.G. Shapiro and Senior Associate Director of Admissions Bryan Zerbe for bring the project to fruition.
The banners were designed by a local vendor, Studio L'Image. Most of the photographs used were taken by Jim Block.
A further element of this campaign will roll out later this summer, encouraging people to share (in various ways) their own ideas of what the law stands for to them.
New banner campaigns will be posted annually going forward. If you are interested in participating in the process, or have feedback about the current campaign, please email Communications & Public Affairs Director Alex A.G. Shapiro at email@example.com.

Bocce ball benefit
It began as a social gathering, little more than an excuse for a group of Rotary Club members from Del Mar and Solana Beach to get together at a local park, play a few matches of bocce ball and enjoy each other's company. Seventeen years later, that gathering has grown into one of the largest bocce ball tournaments of its kind in the region, a competition involving 128 teams that has raised in excess of $400,000 for causes ranging from preschools in El Salvador to foster care programs in San Diego County.

The book suggests 64 separate riding trips, each about a day in length, with seasoned advice on the best campgrounds, parks, scenic landmarks, and restaurants along the way. Topographical maps, clear directions, and plenty of photographs enhance Berkes lively description of each ride.
This popular travel guide for motorcyclists captures all the grandeur and natural beauty of the region and introduces riders to places and sights they would never find on their own. Now completely updated, new generations of riders can enjoy the celebrated treasures as well as the little-known gems the region has to offer, refreshingly free of tourist traffic. For, as Marty says, a journey, unlike a trip, is an opportunity for wandering and exploring new territory with all five senses.

Atherosclerosis and Coronary Artery Disease

Atherosclerosis -- sometimes called hardening of the arteries -- can slowly narrow and harden the arteries throughout the body. When atherosclerosis affects the arteries of the heart, it's called coronary artery disease.
Coronary artery disease is the No. 1 killer of Americans. Most of these deaths are from heart attacks caused by sudden blood clots in the heart's arteries.
Did You Know?
Under the Affordable Care Act, many health insurance plans will cover preventive care services, including blood pressure and cholesterol screenings, at no cost to you. Learn more.
Atherosclerosis can create life-threatening blockages without you ever feeling a thing. Since we're all at risk for coronary artery disease, it's worth learning more about this common and deadly complication of atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis and Coronary Artery Disease: The Cold Facts of Hard Arteries
A look at the numbers for coronary artery disease is enough to give anyone chest pain:
- More than 15,800,000 Americans have known coronary artery disease.
- About 8 million of them have had heart attacks.
- Around 500,000 people will die of coronary artery disease this year. More than a million will have a heart attack.
- One-third of all deaths in Americans older than 35 are due to coronary artery disease.
- After age 40, about 50% of men and one-third of women can expect to eventually have coronary artery disease.
Millions more people have atherosclerosis that is severe but has yet to cause symptoms.
The death rate from coronary artery disease is higher in men than in women. After menopause, though, women's rates rise but they never completely catch up with men's. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in women, just as in men.
Causes of Coronary Artery Disease: Atherosclerosis, Atherosclerosis, and Atherosclerosis
Many of us have heard of "clogged arteries" leading to heart attacks. How does atherosclerosis cause coronary artery disease?
- First, the coronary arteries' smooth interior surface becomes damaged. High blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, cigarette smoking, and diabetes are the most common culprits.
- LDL -- or "bad" cholesterol -- then starts to build up in the coronary artery's wall. The body sends a "clean-up crew" of white blood cells and other cells to the toxic site.
- Over years, continuing buildup of cholesterol and the body's response to it create a plaque. A plaque is a bump on the artery wall that can obstruct blood flow.

Nationally known football star and MSSU alumnus Rod Smith will be the featured speaker at Winter Commencement ceremonies, scheduled for 10 a.m. on Saturday, Dec.15 at Missouri Southern State University. Smith graduated from Missouri Southern with many awards. He not only was an All-American in football but was an All-American in the classroom, completing three degrees with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Economics and Finance and Marketing and Management.
His accomplishments in the classroom led him being awarded the Outstanding Graduate Award in 1994.
A native of Texarkana, Ark., Smith enjoyed a stellar career at Southern, where he set MIAA records in career receiving yards (3,122) and touchdowns (35). He also still holds school records for catches in a game (13), receiving yards in a game (254), receiving yards in a season (1,439), highest average gain per reception in a season (24.0), touchdown receptions in a season (15) and longest pass reception (98 yards). He finished his career with 158 receptions for 3,122 yards and 34 touchdowns, which is now third all-time in Division II.
Smith helped the Lions to their last MIAA title and NCAA post season appearance when the team went 9-1-1 in 1993. That season, he was named first-team All-America by the Associated Press, Kodak, Football Gazette and NCAA Division II sports information directors. In 1993, Smith caught 63 passes for 986 yards and 13 touchdowns, and was a finalist for the Harlon Hill Award, given annually to the top football player in Division II.
Smith entered the NFL with the Broncos as a college free agent on May 3, 1994. He holds Broncos' franchise records for career receptions (849), receiving yards (11,389), touchdown catches (68) and overall touchdowns (71). He also leads all undrafted players in NFL history in every major career-receiving category. Read more.

This year has seen a renaissance of interest in movie director Alfred Hitchcock.
The Hitchcock avuncular uncle image was dashed by Tobey Jones' small-screen portrayal of Hitch in October's The Girl.
The television movie chronicled Hitchcock's relationship with Tippi Hendren (Sienna Miller) in the making of The Bird (1963) and Marnie (1964), .Anthony Hopkins is channeling Hitch again, this time in theaters, in the new Fox production aptly titled Hitchcock. This big-screen storytelling revolves around the making of Psycho (1960) and its star Janet Leigh.
"Southern Serenade" this Friday, Dec. 7, will survey some of the music from Hitchcock's canon of films. In chronological order, the program will feature Franz Waxman's music for Rebecca (1940), continuing with Miklos Rozsa's suite from Spellbound (1945), and Dimitri Tiomkin's music for Dial M for Murder (1954).

Mr. Sovereign also directed choirs at Joplin High School and First United Methodist Church.
His wife Roberta served as pianist, organist, and Mr. Sovereign's accompanist. She also was a piano and organ teacher.

Improved functionality of the smaller mini-features rotating navigation on the Missouri Southern website homepage has been launched. The mini-features section is located on the right side and in the mid-section of the homepage.
A new navigation instrument allows visitors to more easily move from image to image, freeze the image they want to view more closely or for a slightly longer period, stated Rod Surber, Director of Web Content.
The new navigation bar includes forward and back arrows on the left and ride sides, a visible timer that allows browsers to show the 5-second pause over each image, plus individual image buttons number 1 through 5 that allow for quick and easy manual selections of each image. Visitors can hover their computer mouse over the timer to pause the image. Once a mouse is removed from the timer area, the cycle picks up where it was paused.
"What to some might seem a relatively simple maneuver involved many hours of programming investigation and coding on the part of Amanda Gish, Content Coordinator," Surber said. "In addition, Ashley Eriksen, supported the effort with graphic adjustments to images that must fit precise specifications for the content area.
The Web Team is working hard to maintain a fresh homepage in coordination with University Relations & Marketing projects and promotions, as well as drive visitors deeper into the University's site. "For example, when News Bureau Manager Stephen Smith posts a release about an upcoming art exhibit, we have added images and a link to the MSSU Spiva Art Gallery slideshow," Surber explained. "This attracts prospective students and visitors who have an interest in art to dig deeper to learn about the great programs and services we offer," he said.
"We encourage other programs and departments to contact our office to plan and execute similar efforts," he said.
Contact information is available on the Web Services website.

'Tis the season of giving and for Chef Robert's biggest mission to date. He's travelling to Joplin for a show set to run Dec. 9, 10 and 12.
After the tornado hit, the local Boys and Girls Club turned into a safe house for kids of all ages, and while its attendance doubled, its funding did not. Robert's challenge is twofold; to transform the Boys and Girls Club into a space both kids and parents will love, and to create a thank-you dinner for 1,000 volunteers in just five hours!
With a $30,000 budget, 3 day deadline, and the help of chef Michael Chiarello and some of Robert's old Dinner: Impossible crew, it will be all hands on deck for Joplin.
A team of MSSU Volunteers helped with the party prep and decoration for the thank you dinner. The following people volunteered:
Christy Philips, Nicole Brown, Cassie Mathis, Dory Quinn, Alex Gandy, Nathan Hicks, Ron Mitchell, Elisa Bryant, Donna Kemm, Kelly Wilson, Dianne Vlasin, Stephanie Hopkins, Heather Arnold, and Samantha Quackenbush.

- Conference date: 17–19 March 2010
- Location: Hong Kong, (China)
Recently, the multimedia services such as IPTV, video conference emerges to be the main traffic source. When UDP coexists with TCP, it induces not only congestion collapse but also unfairness problem. In this paper, a new Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithm, called Traffic Sensitive Active Queue Management (TSAQM), is proposed for providing multimedia services. The TSAQM comprise Dynamic Weight Allocate Scheme (DWAS) and Service Guarantee Scheme (SGS), the purpose of DWAS is to allocate resource with fairness and high end‐user utility, and the purpose of SGS is to determine the satisfactory threshold (TH) and threshold region (TR). Several objectives of this proposed scheme include achieving high end‐user utility for video service, considering the multicast as well as unicast proprieties to meet inter‐class fairness and achieving the QoS requirement by adjusting the thresholds adaptively based on traffic situations.
