From Our Program
"If I am given the opportunity to relive my college decision moment, I would choose to attend Westminster again. At first, quite honestly, I was skeptical of attending a small liberal arts college in Utah. However, one semester in, I realized Westminster is the right place for me. Here are a few things I absolutely love about the college:
Derrick Fan, Bill and Vieve Gore School of Business Alumnus
Biography: Derrick graduated summa cum laude with a double major in finance and economics as well as the Honors program certificate. In summer 2014, Derrick interned with Goldman Sachs' Salt Lake City office. This summer, he will be interning with D.A. Davidson & Co.'s IIG Research in Seattle. He will be starting a Masters in Finance at ESADE Business School in Barcelona, Spain after the 11-week internship.
"As a teacher, I am aware of the responsibility I have to students. I take that responsibility very seriously. My role as a teacher makes it vital for me to engage students for exploration and learning. This role entails involving students both within and outside the classroom.
I strive to engage my students intellectually to allow them to first examine, then question and ultimately apply the ideas and theories presented. This convergence of theory and application builds the foundation for marketing knowledge. This intellectual curiosity and vitality is important for students while they are at Westminster, as well as after they leave.
The future success of my students has always been a strong driver in my academic career. I make demands of myself to be enthusiastic, prepared, current, curious, creative and intellectually honest. I bring these characteristics to class with me every day. I love teaching marketing in the BVGSB."

have been set in motion to get the nation's next space exploration
vehicle prepared for flight. Lockheed Martin announced this
week that they have a crew on-site at NASA's Kennedy Space Center to
began lean assembly path-finding operations for the
Orion spacecraft. A full-scale Orion mock-up
is being used to conduct simulated manufacturing and assembly
operations to verify the tools, processes and spacecraft integration
procedures. The finished product is expected to be
fully assembled by Lockheed Martin on the grounds of the Kennedy
Space Center according to a press
release from the company."The unique benefit of
this complete on-site operation is that we will build the spacecraft
and then move it directly onto the launch vehicle at KSC, which saves
the government transportation costs associated with tests and
checkout prior to launch," said Lockheed Martin Orion Deputy
Program Manager for production operations Richard Harris. "This
capability also facilitates the KSC workforce transition efforts by
providing new job opportunities for those employees completing their
shuttle program assignments."To help support NASA's
next generation spacecraft fleet, Lockheed Martin and NASA worked
together in a two-year effort on renovations for the Operations &
Checkout Facility at the Kennedy Space Center. The
collaboration produced a new and improved "O&C".
Paperless workstations, a portable clean room system, portable
tooling stations, and air-bearing floor space were some of the
upgrades that resulted in the state-of-the-art complex being dubbed
the "the spacecraft factory of the future". Lockheed
Martin is currently the prime contractor to NASA for the
Orion Project.
quote: Next generation propulsion technology--fail
quote: They use the exact same propulsion technology. The only one that works for getting anything into orbit.
quote: More room for experiments--fail
quote: STS can put 25k lb of cargo into LEO. Ares V can put 188k lb of cargo into LEO.
quote: The Orbiter is altogether inferior for spaceflight. The added mass of everything that allows the Orbiter it's gimicky landing is dead useless weight in space. Given the fact that Constellation would be capable of TLI it most assuredly wins the 'mobility' debate.
quote: Where on earth did I mention STS in my post? Please, tell me, where?
quote: This is such a joke, I feel sorry for our future generations. What a giant leap backwards.
quote: I'm not talking about cargo, now am I? I'm talking about room inside the vehicle! This is a small capsule. This isn't a ship, it is a capsule with no engines other than some nozzles for maneuvering on it. This is also about the closest I can to referring to the shuttle but I didn't. I want a spacecraft that is large, self-sustaining and has room inside of it far greater than a "capsule." It might have an engine behind the blast shield, but the schematics I see don't suggest one.

Speroff and Donlan discuss their respective plans for the future.
Sounds like an amicable decision to go their separate ways. Excerpts:
Former pairs partners Gretchen Donlan and Andrew Speroff are both heading to Florida -- for completely different reasons. Speroff and his girlfriend, former U.S. junior pair medalist Kylie Duarte, will be skating together as a pair on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Freedom of the Seas, starting in September.
"I couldn't be more excited about this big change in my life, skating in shows and traveling to these beautiful parts of the world," Speroff added. "It's something I've been thinking about and wanting to do for a long time now. It wasn't easy coming to this decision. ... I'm still very open to the possibility of competing in the future..."
Duarte mentioned that she and Speroff had filed paperwork to keep their eligibility, in case they want to compete at some point.
Meanwhile, Donlan and Nathan Bartholomay are now training together in Florida, with coach Jim Peterson.
"Though I truly cherished our partnership together, I couldn't be more thrilled for the new and exciting life chapters Andrew and I are about to embark upon!" Donlan texted us. "Now, having found not just one but TWO Prince Charmings, I feel luckier than a Disney princess! I am incredibly excited to train with Nate and extremely grateful for the opportunity to join Mr. Peterson's training camp."
Alessandrini-Souquet will dance for France. But honestly I don't know who Souquet is
Pierre Souquet is a french ice-dancer that used to skate with Peroline Ojardias. Together they won the bronze medal at junior french nationals in 2013.
Does anyone have an update on Rockne Brubaker?
Thanks, Fleeting!

Re Moore-Towers/Marinaro:
For those curious to see any glimpse of them in action together, they performed an off-ice lift as they took on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK2IaPkAFIY (42 seconds, posted Aug 12 by Skate Today Videos)
The cute thing is that apparently Marinaro (only as an individual) received the challenge, but M-T is such a nice partner (if she did say so herself ) that she joined him. And to my eyes, she took the brunt of the shower of ice water.
(The M-T/Marinaro thread has been archived, and it did not seem worth starting a new one just for this video.)
New Pair: Danielle Montalbano and Konrad Hocker-Scholler. They are training in Oberstdorf with Alexander Koenig.
Great list,
For GermanyAliona SAVCHENKO / Bruno MASSOT (for Germany? France?)
They spoke with the Deu (German federation) on Sunday and Bruno signed a contract so that they will now start for Germany. Bruno will take over the German citizenship and they said they will practice at Chemnitz.
I want to point out however that this was the situation before the split from Ingo Steuer, so I am currently unsure if anything has maybe changed now.
Ill keep you posted.

PITTSBURGH - Lacing on hockey skates is going to have to wait. At this point, Sidney Crosby would settle for a meal that didn't require a straw.
The Pittsburgh Penguins star and his surgically repaired mouth remain on a liquid diet as he recovers from a broken jaw sustained in a win over the New York Islanders on March 30. The NHL's leading scorer remains sidelined indefinitely and has not been cleared to return to practice.
Crosby - sporting a handful of new teeth - spoke on Monday for the first time since taking a puck to the face in the first period against the Islanders when a slapshot from teammate Brooks Orpik was re-directed at Crosby's face. He crumpled to the ice immediately and spent two days in the hospital while doctors repaired his jaw and tried to minimize the damage.
"I felt it but I didn't see it," said Crosby, whose 56 points are tops in the league. "It was kind of a weird bounce and just one of those things that happen and having gone a week or however long it's been now, it's gotten better. I feel a lot better than I did after it happened."
Even if Crosby remains unsure when he'll be back on the ice. He expects to meet with doctors later this week but will not be a part of Pittsburgh's three-game road trip that begins tonight in Carolina.
"We'll see how it heals and it will be a process here the next little bit but I'm not too worried about the teeth," Crosby said. "I'm worried about making sure I'm healed and hopefully that's sooner rather than later."
There has been no indication the concussion-like symptoms that sidelined Crosby for the better part of two seasons have returned. The only side effect he's concerned about at the moment is the inability to chew solid food.
Crosby has been living on milkshakes for the last nine days and admitted keeping weight on is "impossible."
"It hasn't been too enjoyable," he added with a laugh.
The Penguins do have the luxury of time. They clinched a playoff spot on Sunday night and barring an epic collapse will win the Atlantic Division with ease. That gives them more than three weeks to get healthy before the postseason begins, though the injured list continues to grow.
Forward James Neal did not practice on Monday and will miss Pittsburgh's road swing with a concussion. Neal took an elbow to the head from New York's Michael Del Zotto in the third period of a 2-1 shootout victory last Friday. He did not play the final 8 minutes of regulation or the overtime period.
Neal was battling for a puck near the New York net when Del Zotto - who had his back to Neal - struck Neal in the head. Del Zotto was not disciplined by the NHL office and Neal's teammates declined to speculate on whether the hit was dirty.
"I just know from my past experience, I know I'll be in that situation that Del Zotto was in," Orpik said. "You try to look at it from both sides. I was surprised there wasn't at least a hearing."
Coach Dan Bylsma says he has no feel for how long Neal will be out. Neal has 18 goals and 14 assists in 39 games. Chris Kunitz will replace Neal on the second line and be paired with reigning NHL MVP Evgeni Malkin and newly acquired forward Jarome Iginla.

Offensive lineman NaTy Rodgers of Pomfret, Md., had made multiple unofficial visits to South Carolina, accompanied by others, but he took his official visit this past weekend solo, and with a purpose.
Rodgers wanted to see what it was like by himself at USC and if it was the right fit. Apparently it was, and he tweeted out his commitment Monday afternoon.
I really liked what I saw there by myself so I decided to pull the trigger, Rodgers said.
Its just a great place to be. The honesty of the coaching staff, the game day atmosphere, its a place where you look forward to going and playing.
Before making his announcement, Rodgers had to meet Monday morning with Maryland recruiters and give them the news. Of course, they are not going to like it, but thats recruiting, said Rodgers, who also canceled a planned visit to Florida State for this weekend.
Rodgers can play anywhere on the line but is more of a guard or tackle and will be open to whatever line coach Shawn Elliott has in store for him.
Ill fit in wherever they want me to fit in. I want to get down there and compete.
Rodgers is the fifth offensive lineman to commit for the Gamecocks 2013 class and the 20th commitment overall.
In other recruiting news:
USCs biggest recruiting weekend of the month produced a commitment, but it was for the 2014 class.
Dillon LB Joe Blue (5-11, 230) made his pledge during an unofficial visit, according to his coach, Jackie Hayes.
I think (Blue) is an inside linebacker, but hes a tailback, too, said Hayes.
Blue also has offers from Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Florida, Auburn, Southern Cal, N.C. State, Maryland, Alabama, Tennessee, LSU and Georgia.
Blue is USCs first commitment for the 2014 class.
Clemson picked up commitment No. 16 for the 2013 class on Sunday in WR Ky Priester (6-2, 185) of Snellville, Ga.
Last season, Priester had 56 catches for 1,000 yards and 13 touchdowns. As a junior playing in Florida, he had 31 catches for 565 yards and five touchdowns. Priester helps offset two receiver defections for the Tigers earlier this month in Demarcus Robinson (Florida) and Ryan Jenkins (Tennessee).
USC had five uncommitted senior prospects on campus over the weekend for official visits. None committed, but the Gamecocks kept themselves in good position with each.
Three of the visitors were linebackers: Jonathan Walton, Skai Moore and Yannick Ngakoue.
Tennessee is the only other school Walton is still considering. USC coach Steve Spurrier plans to visit him after he returns from a trip to Auburn. Walton said right now USC has the edge on the field.
Moore has also visited Vanderbilt and Wisconsin and is considering Arkansas and Tennessee for visits.
The Gamecocks prefer Walton and Moore among the three for linebacker, but they also like Ngakoue as an Eric Norwood type of player. Right now he has USC, Maryland and Florida State as his top three with no favorite.
Besides Priester, Clemson had three other 2013 targets in for official visits: OL Tyrone Crowder of Hamlet, N.C., QB Asaintii Woulard of Winter Park, Fla., and WR James Clark of New Smyrna Beach, Fla.
Clemson has been Crowders favorite over Georgia but he plans to wait until Signing Day before making an announcement
Woulard is a former South Florida commitment who backed out of that after coach Skip Holtz was fired. He has also visited Kentucky and is scheduled to visit UCLA this weekend. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney will make his in-home visit Thursday.

Review: Stay Healthy, Live Longer, Spend Wisely by Davis Liu
One of the great paradoxes of our nation is that we spend far more, by a great margin, than any other country on healthcare yet we don't live the longest. According to a report from the NCHC [PDF], which was based on other research, we spent $2.3 trillion on health care in 2007 or about $7600 per person. (that article lists a lot of other sobering statistics).
Part of the reason is because the system is so complicated and convoluted. When a doctor orders a battery of exams, it he or she motivated by expertise, fear, or greed? Is the test what is actually needed because the doctor needs to rule out a particular condition, or does the doctor fear malpractice suits so he orders every possible exam, or does the doctor need to up his pay this month because he has a vacation soon? While I'd say that most medical practitioners operate out of expertise, there is a subset that operates, if only sometimes, in the other two groups too.
That's where Stay Healthy, Live Longer, Spend Wisely by Davis Liu comes in. It's a guide to help you navigate the complexities and vagaries of the American healthcare system.
About Dr. Liu
Who is Dr. Davis Liu? He's a board-certified family physician with the Permanente Medical Group in Northern California, graduate summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the Wharton School of Business and the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and has written several opinion pieces that have appear in the San Francisco Chronicle and the Sacramento Bee.
Do Your Homework, Question Everything, Pay Nothing (At First)
That's the subheading of a section in which Dr. Liu explains how you can be a smarter consumer of medical care, specifically with respect to the billing process. He tells one story about his brother who saw a general practitioner and specialist for a throat issue. His brother confirmed with the insurance company that the visits would be covered yet was billed anyway. Fortunately, due to diligent note taking which included which representatives they spoke to, the issue was resolved and the brother didn't have to pay anything.
The lesson here is that you should question everything, since most medical bills contain errors, and confirm with the insurance company as to whether something is covered (unless it's a true medical emergency).
The book has a lot more in it than I explained so here's a listing of what's included in each of the eight parts:
- The Most Important Policy You Will Ever Own: This part discusses health insurance in general from how much coverage you need to what an HSA is, from COBRA to health care costs.
- Mastering the Ten-Minute Doctor Office Visit: Every aspect of a typical visit with a physician is covered including how to be a "wise patient," versus a typical one. It stresses the importance of knowing your medical history and making each visit count.
- Do the Right Thing Regularly and Repeatedly: This part stresses the importance of routine checkups and preventative medicine, such as routine screening, immunizations, and age specific checks.
- Meet Your Medical Team: Any and every medical professional you'll meet is discussed in this chapter along with anything you may need to know about their profession. Do you know what a Rheumatologist or a Nephrologist or a Ophthalmologist is? If you said you did and you're not one, you're probably lying. 🙂
- The Truth About Medications: It's hardly a hard hitting expose on branded medicines but he discusses branded vs. generic (and points out studies of the placebo effect, a topic discussed in Predictably Irrational too) and even goes through over the counter drugs.
- Caveat Emptor, Or "Let the Buyer Beware": This section talks about all the unproven, untested remedies from body scans to herbal remedies. He's a little apprehensive about them but does recognize that some provide benefits.
- Twenty-First Century Medical Care: Dr. Liu is looking forward in this chapter, looking at new and different techniques that may play a larger role in medicine in the future.
- Take Control: Excellent Health Pays: In this last part, he talks about how you can be proactive about your health such as using the internet for research (which can be counter productive, depending on your mentality) and being active.
Stay Healthy, Live Longer, Spend Wisely is far more comprehensive than I gave it credit for when I first opened it. I expected a book that discusses health insurance, government plans like HSAs and FSAs, and medical expense related ideas but this one really went above and beyond that. The sections discussing all the specialists, the various medications, and even looking to the future of medicine was a nice bonus. Another nice bonus was Dr. Liu's style, I can see why he would be asked to write opinion pieces in the newspaper because he has a very easy style that likely translates into a comforting bedside manner.
If the whole world of medicine intimidates you, this book can help by giving you a good basic understanding of the whole breadth of the medical world.

Carissima Cutrona continues to be recognized off the soccer field for all her conquests on it.
The Williamsville South junior adds her second straight All-Western New York selection to a resumé that, for the first time, includes a spot on the All-American team sponsored by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
"It's an honor to be all of those things, but I just do it because I love soccer, not to get the awards," she said.
Cutrona continued to be a force on the field this fall, leading the ECIC in scoring with 37 goals while adding 12 assists. She scored all three goals in a sectional final win over rival Williamsville East and all four in the triumph over Grand Island in the semifinals. She's had plenty of team success as well as the Billies won back-to-back Section VI Class A titles.
She said her team was inspirited by its motto for this season: "Our family vs. their team."
"We're such a close-knit team and we all get along with each other," Cutrona said. "We're always with each other hanging out and that really helps us excel once we get on the field."
Cutrona and senior Hannah Crofut of Williamsville North are the only All-WNY repeat picks, chosen by a panel of area coaches. Orchard Park has three picks and Williamsville North two on the 13-player squad.
Crofut has accepted a partial athletic scholarship to Bryant University in Rhode Island, a Division I school in the Northeast Conference. She considered other offers from UB, Lehigh and St. Francis.
"The coaches were great, the girls were great, it's a pretty school and there's a strong business focus," said Crofut, a four-year starter at North.
This year's champions were: Orchard Park (Class AA), South (Class A), Akron (Class B), Holland (Class C), Ellicottville (Class D), Sacred Heart and Christian Central (Monsignor Martin Association, North and South). The title was OP's first in 16 years. All five Section VI champs lost by shutout to teams from Section V (Rochester) in the Far West Regionals.
Corner kicks
Molly Petrucci of City Honors had 53 goals against challengers from the Buffalo Public School's Radcliffe Cup, along with 20 assists.
Senior Melissa Smith of Niagara-Wheatfield was named the Niagara Frontier League's Player of the Year after tying for the league lead in goals with 27 and points with 60. Smith, along with Erin Kinz of Lew-Port and Christine Breindel of Orchard Park, move up from making All-WNY second team last year.
Kinz, the only goalie on the team, allowed 22 goals while making 170 saves for the No. 5 team in the Niagara Frontier League.
It was a comeback season for Courtney Hartnett of Orchard Park as a knee injury sidelined her all of last year. This year she battled through a sprained ankle during the playoffs.
Rachel Loecher went out a winner in her senior year, leading Sacred Heart to the title of the Monsignor Martin Association's North Division and a berth in the Catholic states semifinals. Loecher's play at defender contributed to her team's nine shutouts in 15 games.
Tiana Woodarek of Springville scored twice in OT to help knock off two-time defending Class B champion Newfane in the sectional quarters. A three-sport athlete, she led the basketball team to last year's sectional final and has cleared 9 feet, 6 inches in track and field's pole vault.
Midfielder Cailin Regan led Akron to its first Section VI title. She had 10 goals and 14 assists. She joins Tricia Mangan of Nardin as the only sophomores to make first team.

Justin gets into it. ― Mathias asks: Looking back at the past decades, it seems that less anime shows were made, but that they ran for a longer time, often going over fifty or even a hundred episodes. What made producers switch to the current ...

The show is unabashedly insular - starring a young Kyoto confectioner known as Daijiro Kyougoku, it riffs on super robot cliches from nearly half a century ago, mixing them with s...

Record Conditions for Redstone Winterfest
Up to six feet of snow has fallen this year in and around the high mountain community of Redstone, Colorado, creating banner conditions for the region's some 100 ice and mixed routes. With Redstone's annual Winterfest looming large February 14 through 17, there are bound to be plenty of routes for everyone, and once-in-a-decade routes such as Cold Heaven (WI5 200 feet) are in good shape and getting regular ascents. Other local favorites includingAvocado Gully (WI 3), Redstone Pillar (WI 4), Hayes Creek Falls (WI 1) and the Drool (WI 4+) are fat.
Winterfest, hosted by the American Alpine Club as part of their Craggin' Classic tour, and with clinics by Aspen Expeditions, gear demos by CAMP and Petzl, free sleigh rides and daily events including beer tasting, the Presiden's Day weekend event promises to be the best so far. Visiting climbers be sure to stop by the Rock and Ice booth and pick up a free copy of the latest issue and a guide to the local ice.

YEAGERTOWN - After receiving much demand to open a second Country Village Restaurant location, Dean Falls and Jason Metzler, co-owners, started Country Village Restaurant and Lounge earlier this year in Yeagertown.
"We consistently had requests to open a second location in town," Falls said. "It was something we always wanted to do. We can be a part of evening entertainment and have a family oriented atmosphere."
Whereas the original location in Allensville specializes in buffet style service, the new Country Village Restaurant and Lounge is separated into two sides, one as a traditional restaurant and one as an evening bar establishment.

Dean Falls, of Country Village Restaurant in Yeagertown, shows the popular soup and salad bar at their new location.
Both sides serve the homemade family recipes that Country Village Restaurant is known for, including best sellers like Thanksgiving fries, CVR fried chicken, ham steak and the CVR deluxe sandwich. The restaurant is also starting a special Sunday brunch service beginning on Sunday.
"What sets us apart is that we do make everything; nothing comes in frozen," Falls said. "We put in that extra effort. Most of the recipes are actually family recipes from mine or Jason's family."
Each weekend the lounge is scheduled with live entertainment, usually an acoustic band or DJ, Falls said. And, in addition to a wide selection of craft beers, the lounge features a signature drink known as the Rockin' Rooster in more than 24 seasonal or fruity flavors.
On Nov. 30 the lounge is hosting a Toys for Tots Bash, featuring five local bands throughout the night. The only cover charge is an unwrapped toy to be donated to the Toys for Tots organization.
"We try to get involved in the community as much as we can," Falls said. "We sponsor sports teams and we have some community fundraisers coming up."
Reservations or take-out orders can be placed by contacting The Country Village Restaurant and Lounge at 953-9582 during open hours of 3 p.m. to midnight on Tuesday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday, 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Friday to Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Call for lounge hours.

Yvonne and Matthew Davis II simply don't have the time – or the space.
Instead, a 500-pack of Hefty Styrofoam containers sits in a corner where the tree might be. Giant cans of green beans and sweet corn are stacked in their dining room. The oven has been working on overdrive for days.
This is what Christmas looks like when you pour your soul into giving.
It's not driving around the parking lot at the mall, hoping for a spot. It's not armfuls of red-and-green shopping bags. It's not maxing out the credit card.
For the Davis family, the giving started small. It started with Sunday meals that Yvonne, a missionary, would cook for neighbors and friends.
Then she felt a calling, a need to prepare a feast for dozens who couldn't afford one or simply were alone.
It started with an Easter meal. It soon outgrew the modest double they share in Niagara Falls. They moved the dinner to a VFW hall. Then to a larger one. They added Thanksgiving and Christmas.
They call it the Lord's Day Dinner, and Tuesday the Davis family and a group of volunteers will serve up hundreds of hot meals of ham, turkey and the fixings for those in need.
Matthew expects at least 350 people. Some years, they've had as many as 500 – all fed on faith that the community will come through with donations of food, toys and personal care items, and the donors always have.
Last week, boxes of potatoes were ready to be washed and cubed. Cranberry sauce and mayonnaise arrived. Tishnell, the Davises' 32-year-old daughter, was filling aluminum pans with noodles for macaroni and cheese.
The preparation starts weeks in advance. Cooking consumes the days before Christmas.
They don't miss traditional Christmas. Yvonne, a retired cook and certified nursing assistant, and Matthew, a semi-retired paralegal, find more joy in this than in any gifts.
The stories bubble up. A note from a child. The Girls Scouts, football players and Red Hat ladies who volunteer. The man who credits the dinner with saving his life on a lonely Christmas.
I visited the Davis home last week stressed about buying gifts. I left with a reminder that giving isn't simply about picking out the right thing on Amazon.
As Yvonne and Tishnell prepared the food, the phone kept ringing – there were more volunteers, more offers for help, more stories of need.
The Davis family will wake up early Tuesday and load the dinners into a truck. At noon, the feast will begin.
This is giving. This is Christmas.
The Lord's Day Dinner takes place from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday in LaSalle-Griffon Post 917, Veterans of Foreign Wars, at Seneca Avenue and Hyde Park Boulevard, Niagara Falls. Donations of toys and hygiene items are still being accepted. Call 284-6973.

Once inside, the trio was joined by Spears's beau David Lucado, who wore a vest and fedora. The singer smiled and greeted fans as her sons stocked up on popcorn and drinks.
Spears appeared thrilled to speak with fans and sign autographs from her seat before the movie started. Meanwhile, Jayden and Preston sat patiently with smiles on their faces.
After the film ended, Spears held hands briefly with Lucado before exiting the theater but held on tight to Preston as they walked to their waiting car.

Russia has taken important steps in modernizing its nuclear forces since early 2013, including the continued development and deployment of new intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), construction of ballistic missile submarines, and development of a new strategic bomber. As of March 2013, the authors estimate, Russia had a military stockpile of approximately 4,300 nuclear warheads, of which roughly 1,600 strategic warheads were deployed on missiles and at bomber bases. Another 700 strategic warheads are in storage along with roughly 2,000 nonstrategic warheads. A large number—perhaps 3,500—of retired but still largely intact warheads await dismantlement.

"Kitchen Windows"
By catemcc from West Greenwich, RI
Love these blinds!! We feel it was well worth the extra cost to get quality. No cords, no gizmos to get in the way. Smooth handling up & down. Installation was ridiculously simple. Our main window is 65" wide & there was no need for a middle support bracket (sweet). Thin profile & tight fit helps these blinds blend nicely with our window trim. Shades do a nice job of blocking the harsh sun in wintertime without any gaps or peek-boo-holes. Just perfect.View this product

Brian Franco felt Sam Ficken's pain during Penn State's 17-16 loss to Virginia last week.
Ficken missed four field goals, including the potential 42-yard gamewinner as time expired, and had an extra point blocked. His other misses came from 40, 20 and 32.
"I've been in his shoes," Franco said from his home in Jacksonville on Wednesday. "It's tough. It's a long plane ride home."
Franco missed four field goals in Penn State's 17-14 loss to Miami in the Orange Bowl in 1981.
Until Ficken's 1-for-5 performance at Virginia, Franco was the last PSU kicker to miss four times in one game, although Ryan Primanti and David Kimball combined to miss four in a 33-11 loss to Michigan in 2000.
While this is Ficken's first season as the Lions' starting kicker - Saturday's attempts were his first this year - Franco was in the midst of an excellent senior season in 1981.
Penn State entered the game against the Hurricanes 6-0 and ranked No. 1, and much of the game was played in a driving rain.
"I still remember to this day," Franco, a product of Altoona Area High School, said. "My first attempt was 52 yards. I just pushed it right, but I hit it well. The next one [from 47], the wind started picking up, and I was lining up to kick with the wind and the quarter was running down, and nobody called timeout. Now I was kicking into a pretty stiff breeze.
"And suddenly, I was 0-for-2."
But Franco wasn't terribly unnerved. He was 10-of-11 up to that point in the season, including a 5-for-5 effort at Nebraska, and led the nation in field-goal accuracy.
The Orange Bowl, though, became "a monsoon," Franco said, and he missed from 22 late in the first half.
"That was a surprise and by the fourth one [from 23], my emotions started getting to me, and I started pressing a little bit," he said. "On top of personally missing four field goals, the impact was also huge on the team and the rankings."
Franco said his confidence got a boost from Joe Paterno at Monday's practice.
"Joe just told me, 'Don't overcompensate. You've gotten to this point, you're leading the nation in kicking. You know how to kick - don't start changing things.' Psychologically, I was prepared to snap back."
Penn State coach Bill O'Brien tried to take some pressure off Ficken earlier this week by saying the protection, snaps and holds weren't consistently precise.
Franco noticed the same thing, especially on Ficken's kick that would have won the game.
"When you have a kid in that situation, you want to make sure everything is right," he said. "The snap was a bit off, and the laces were sideways. You'd probably rather kick the laces than have them to the side. His hips probably weren't aligned. There are subtle differences between making and missing. I also thought after he nodded [that he was ready] that he started leaning forward before the snap came. It sounds like an excuse, but that's our world."
Franco, a former most valuable player of the Jacksonville Bulls of the old United States Football League, thinks Ficken will rebound.
"Just watching his emotions, the way he handled it, he seemed fairly steady paced, and he didn't seem that emotional that it would necessarily impact him, longterm," he said. "We'll only be able to tell by the next situation, but obviously he earned a scholarship, and he knows how to kick. He got the ball up pretty well [each time]. He just pulled it."
Franco, who made 15 of 21 in 1981 and 17 of 23 for his career, said O'Brien and the Lions can help bring Ficken back.
"If the coach handles things right - and I think O'Brien has class - and the team shows they have confidence, I think he [Ficken] will be fine," he said. "They're going to need him, and I think they'll play themselves into a decent football team."

For the past five years, the Allegheny Conference on Community Development and the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance have celebrated "Wins" day, a Wednesday in March when we tote up all the announced investment and development projects, or "wins," of the previous year.
In 2011, the 10-county Pittsburgh region landed 286 economic development wins – 242 as corporate expansions or new facilities, 44 as real estate deals. That translates to 11,440 new and 5,620 retained jobs, as well as capital investment of $1.5 billion. You can read more about this in my column in this week's Pittsburgh Business Times. Download a copy of it here, read it online (with subscription) at Pittsburgh Business Times, or pick up the March 16-22 edition on a newsstand.
Underscoring our emerging role as the new center of American energy, there were 79 energy-related wins, including new business or expansions by extracting companies and those in the natural gas supply chain of turbines, pumps and electrical components, as well as wind-energy developers. The growth of financial and business services contributed to these gains, too.
Advanced manufacturing also did well in 2011, as the national trade journal Industry Week recently noted.
You can read my column here, our blog post about our "Wins" day here, our detailed news release with links to growth in individual sectors here, and catch comments about it from our CEO, Dennis Yablonsky, here.

The Deadly Years (episode)
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
The Enterprise discovers a colony full of rapidly-aging scientists. Whatever caused the rapid aging afflicts the ship´s landing party as well. Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scott are shocked to discover they are aging decades each day and will soon die unless a cure can be found. The unaffected Chekov may be their only hope for survival.
The USS Enterprise is on a routine mission to resupply the experimental colony at Gamma Hydra IV. Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Lt. Galway, and Ensign Chekov beam down. While they are looking for the colonists, Chekov wanders into a darkened building. As the lights come on, they reveal the dead body of a very old man. Chekov runs out of the building extremely scared and the rest of the landing party goes to investigate. McCoy reveals the cause of death to be natural causes, extreme old age. Spock finds this impossible, since he had checked the records prior to the group beaming down and found that none of the colony members were over thirty. Then, two elderly people wander in, Robert Johnson, who claims to be only twenty-nine; and his wife, Elaine who claims to be twenty-seven.
Act OneEdit
- "Captain's log, stardate 3478.2. On a routine mission to resupply the experimental colony at Gamma Hydra IV, we discovered a most unusual phenomenon. Of the six members of the colony, none of whom were over thirty, we found four had died and two were dying ... of old age."
Kirk tries to question Robert Johnson, but being of advanced age, he doesn't quite understand. He fills in his passengers, Commodore Stocker, Doris Atkins, and Dr. Janet Wallace, Wallace also being an old flame of Kirk's past. Kirk promises to keep them all informed and that they will remain in orbit until the mystery is solved. Commodore Stocker expresses his concern to reach Starbase 10, and Kirk says he will do everything he can to get Stocker there. Everyone leaves and Dr. Wallace and Kirk reminisce about the past for a moment and how their careers got in the way of their relationship.
Kirk goes to the bridge and gives the order to maintain orbit, and Spock informs him that a rogue comet passed near the planet some time ago, but is unsure if it had any effects on the planet. Commodore Stocker tries to again push the Enterprise to leave for Starbase 10, claiming the instruments there would be more effective. Kirk politely refuses the Commodore's request and leaves the bridge giving the command again to maintain orbit, much to Sulu's and Spock's puzzlement.
Meanwhile, a perplexed Lt. Galway visits McCoy complaining about suffering a sudden loss of hearing. Kirk, in his quarters, calls Spock on the bridge and informs him to look into a comet that had recently passed the planet. Spock, of course, replies he is already doing so as per Kirk's orders, leaving Kirk a little confused. He then goes to sickbay complaining of shoulder pain, and jokes about McCoy's hair getting a little grayer. McCoy's initial exam reveals advanced arthritis in Kirk's shoulder, which Kirk doesn't believe at first. But then Scotty walks in, complete with gray hair and wrinkles.
Act TwoEdit
- "Captain's log, stardate 3479.4. The Enterprise personnel who beamed down to the planet's surface – Dr. McCoy, Engineer Scott, Mr. Spock, Lieutenant Galway, and myself – are all showing definite signs of aging. Only Ensign Chekov appears to be normal."
Everyone that had been in the landing party is showing signs of accelerated aging, with the exception of Chekov. Most of the party members are aging at approximately thirty years a day (Galway, despite being the youngest of those afflicted, appears to be aging at a vastly faster rate than anyone else), and McCoy is at a loss for the cause. He has run a complete physical on Chekov and found nothing. Spock estimates that they all have less than a week to live and that in lesser time, they will be little more than mental vegetables. Though Spock is showing no obvious physical signs, he admits to suffering from lethargy, memory and vision loss, and the ship's temperature is feeling increasingly colder to him. Kirk sends Scotty and Galway back to their duties and leave McCoy to do yet another physical on Chekov.
As Kirk heads back to he bridge, he exchanges a mildly flirtatious conversation with the concerned Dr. Wallace. The tone changes however, when Kirk realizes that her deceased husband was much older than she. Kirk rejects her advances, and inquires if Dr. Wallace's affections to him are because of his current appearance, and also concerned it's out of pity for his sad condition.
Chekov gripes to Sulu about the constant examinations of him and him giving all sorts of samples. "If I live long enough, I'm going to run out of samples." An elderly Kirk arrives at the bridge while a concerned Commodore Stocker looks on, and we see that age is taking its toll. Kirk gives orders, then forgets giving them. He even falls asleep in his command chair. A gray-haired Spock wakes him and informs him that the comet is indeed the source of the problem. By now, even Spock appears to be tired. The orbit of Gamma Hydra IV took the planet through the comet's tail. Though no regular levels of radiation were detected, there were extremely low levels of radiation, which is the probable cause. Kirk then orders Lt. Uhura to send a coded message to Starfleet and to use code 2 since they are close to the Romulan Neutral Zone. Uhura reminds Kirk that the Romulans have already broken code 2. A befuddled Kirk orders her to use code 3 and to relay the information about the comet. He then tells Sulu to move the ship to a higher orbit, and when Sulu indicates that he had already given that command, he yells, "I fail to understand why my orders are repeatedly being questioned!"
McCoy confirms the radiation theory, and Kirk returns to the bridge. Spock then informs McCoy that the ship has become increasingly cold and he's had to increase the temperature in his own quarters to 125 degrees. Dr. Wallace then tells McCoy that none of the conventional means for radiation therapy will work in this case.
Commodore Stocker meets with Spock, informing him of his concern for Kirk's ability to command. He asks Spock to take over as captain, since Vulcans have a much longer life span. Spock reminds the Commodore that he is also feeling the effects of the aging and that he also is half Human. Stocker asks Spock to conduct a competency hearing, which according to regulations is Spock's duty as First Officer. Spock, wanting to spare Kirk of any more suffering than he's already going through and the humiliation of an almost guaranteed judgment against him, suggests Sulu, a young but capable junior officer, take command. Stocker refuses, saying Sulu is too inexperienced, and that a competency hearing is mandatory.
As McCoy continues to examine Chekov, an even more aged Lt. Galway arrives at sickbay and falls dead in Kirk's arms. McCoy speculates that Galway's metabolism caused the disease to affect her far more severely, resulting in her early death, and that they themselves don't have much more time.
Act ThreeEdit
Spock conducts the competency hearing. Scott is by now much older, looking tired and depressed. Kirk and McCoy are also in terrible condition. A reluctant Uhura and Sulu testify about Kirk's failing abilities. Kirk tries to maintain his control, but it is quite obvious that his mind and deteriorated body are failing, and he digs himself a deeper hole by doing on a long, rambling speech in which he erroneously refers to the planet that they are orbiting as "Gamma Hydra II". He is removed from command and to his dismay, Commodore Stocker assumes command.
Kirk, despite his senility, has enough common sense to predict that Stocker, with no command experience, and in Kirk's words, a "paper pusher", would be a poor choice to command the Enterprise, and tries to order Spock to take command. When Spock rebuffs Kirk and reminds him that he no longer has power on the Enterprise, it deeply hurts him and temporarily causes a rift between the two. Kirk then fruitlessly tries to justify his command ability to Janet, but after hearing him repeatedly mispronounce her name as "Jane", Wallace excuses herself and leaves Kirk alone, totally devastated and helpless.
Later, a very old and gray Kirk and an equally-gray Spock and McCoy review again landing on the planet. Spock then reminds them that the only time Chekov was not with them was when he went into the building, discovered the body, and ran from the building scared half to death. McCoy postulates that the increased adrenaline levels may have protected Chekov from being afflicted.
Stocker, who has no field experience, plots a shortcut to Starbase 10 through the Romulan Neutral Zone and, of course, the Romulans attack. The Enterprise is quickly surrounded, as a shocked and frozen commodore tries to decide what to do.
Act FourEdit
The Romulans continue to attack the Enterprise while Stocker tries to establish communication. Spock races against time and makes a crude serum, but it could either cure or kill. Kirk, unable to endure any longer and determined to get back to the bridge, demands the first shot stating he's about to die anyway (either from the serum, destruction of the ship or the aging process) – and upon receiving it, he starts to scream and writhe.
Stocker feels that the only way to get the Romulans to stop is by surrendering. But Chekov reminds him that Romulans do not take prisoners.
Suddenly, a fully recovered Kirk arrives on the bridge and retakes command. On purpose, he instructs Uhura to post a message to Starfleet, using code 2, that he plans to self-destruct the ship and take all the Romulan ships with him by using the corbomite device. Spock looks exhausted, but relieved.
As expected, the Romulans tap into the message and start to move out of the way. Kirk uses this opportunity to warp the Enterprise out of the Neutral Zone and back to safety. McCoy is shown to be recovered, and informs Kirk that Scott is fine. The cure is a success, even if the procedure is very painful to humans, and even more for Vulcans. McCoy informs Spock that a super dose is already ready for him, and all breakable objects were removed from the infirmary, and they can start whenever Spock is ready. Spock is in bad shape, and he asks to receive it now. As the episode ends, Spock is still afflicted, but will soon be saved after some excruciating pain with a high-dosage of the cure.

Background informationEdit
- Bantam Books published a series of novelizations called "foto-novels," which took photographic stills from actual episodes and arranged word balloons and text over them, to create a comic book formatted story. The eleventh installment was an adaptation of this episode.
- Dr. Wallace's costume was made from drapes.
- Over-sized uniform shirts were specially constructed for this episode so the characters would appear to be shrinking as they "aged."
- In this episode, Kirk makes a reference to the fictional "corbomite" device, which he first described in "The Corbomite Maneuver". Although Chekov was not on the bridge on that occasion, he obviously heard the story from someone, as he and Sulu exchange knowing looks when Kirk mentions the word.
- Shatner's hairline is inconsistent in this episode. As the aging effect first hits him, the hairline is receding, but for some reason, as he gets much older, his hairline advances again.
- No special effects shots were filmed for this episode. The entire Romulan attack is created by using stock footage from "Balance of Terror" and "Errand of Mercy". In addition, no actual Romulans appeared in this episode. They would not be seen again until "The Enterprise Incident".
- The brownish planet seen in this episode (a slightly color corrected version of the one used in "The City on the Edge of Forever"), reappeared in later episodes, as Gamma II in "The Gamesters of Triskelion", Arret in "Return to Tomorrow", Zeon in "Patterns of Force", Minara II in "The Empath", Platonius in "Plato's Stepchildren", Cheron in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" and Gideon in "The Mark of Gideon".
- Areel Shaw's line from "Court Martial" about how long it has been since she's seen Kirk is recycled by Janet Wallace in this segment.
- The script called for the aged Kirk to run from sickbay to the bridge, and gradually grow younger until he arrived. But as director Joseph Pevney told Allan Asherman in The Star Trek Interview Book, the slow speech patterns and actions of the aging Enterprise personnel were making the episode run long. So Kirk's reverse aging scenes were cut. However the "aging scene from older to younger" would be used in TNG: "Too Short a Season" on Admiral Mark Jameson, and in TNG: "Man of the People" involving Troi and Ves Alkar. {Ironically in a 1971 "Mission Impossilbe" episode "Encore" Shatner guest starred as an elderly gangster who thinks he's a younger man in 1937-and who at the end changes from a young man to an old man again}
- When Spock questions Uhura during the competency hearing, he twice clearly refers to Uhura's having signed her initials (note the plural) on a document. Lt. Uhura was never given a first name during the entire run of the series, which at the time lead some to believe she may have only had the single name "Uhura". However, this episode established that, due to having more than one initial, she must also have had a name other than "Uhura".
- This episode was produced in early August 1967.
- Kirk's age – 34 years old – is established in this episode.
- The proximity of the Gamma Hydra sector to the Romulan Neutral Zone in this episode is repeated in the opening scene of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, when the "Enterprise" supposedly violates the zone while patrolling near the sector. However, in the movie it's the Klingons who attack.
- In The World of Star Trek (3rd ed., p. 73), William Shatner relates that he endured an excruciating make-up session for this episode – all for nothing, because the shooting day was just about to end. The producers caught his exasperation in an infamous blooper, wherein he declares, "Bob Justman, I'm going home now... after spending three hours putting this [expletive deleted] make-up back on – and it's your fault!"
- According to Walter Koenig, director Joseph Pevney wanted to shoot a close-up of Chekov's eyes as he sees the aged dead body in surprise. However, Koenig blinked each time it was tried, and it took fifteen takes to do it right. However, it's not in the finished episode, probably deemed unsuitable. Koenig also felt that Chekov seemed younger in this episode than in any other, claiming that his reaction upon discovering the corpse in the teaser was more like the reaction of a 15-year-old than that of a Starfleet officer who had sat on the bridge of the Enterprise. [1]
- The end credits of this episode include a make-up test shot of William Blackburn as a Tellarite. He discusses his experience in an interview on the remastered second season DVD collection of the series issued by Paramount and CBS Home Video.
- The last shot of the episode is lifted from "Amok Time". Note the wig there on Walter Koenig, which he didn't have on for the entire episode.
- Dr. Janet Wallace's reason for being aboard the Enterprise is never revealed. She's just "there" in Act I, and her expertise as an endocrinologist later turns out to be fortuitous. It's possible, however, that she and Commodore Stocker have both been assigned, and are being conducted, to Starbase 10.
- This is the first time McCoy is aged using makeup in order to look much older than he is. The second time is in TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint". It is interesting to note how similar both aged McCoys look.
- McCoy's Southern dialect also grows noticeably thicker as he ages.
- One memorable outtake features Beverly Washburn getting stuck on a line, before blurting out, "I FEEL LIKE HELL!" [2]
