X-ray observations of spin-powered pulsars (PSRs) and pulsar-wind nebulae (PWNe) provide powerful diagnostics of emission mechanisms and acceleration processes operating in pulsar magnetospheres and winds. They help to elucidate the physics of relativistic MHD shocks and the effect of pulsar evolution on the observable parameters. We report the results of an ongoing study of the X-ray properties of pulsars and PWNe observed with Chandra. The sample of these objects has finally become large enough to permit a meaningful statistical analysis of the PSR/PWN population. We find that the PSR and PWN luminosities are much stronger correlated with each other than with the pulsar spin-down power. A correlation between the slopes of the PSR and PWN spectra is confirmed, but the correlation law differs from that previously suggested. On the other hand, the slopes of the PSR/PWN spectra do not correlate significantly with the spin-down power. We also discuss the evolution of PWN sizes and morphologies.
The work was partly supported by NASA grant NAG5-10865.

"I think the basic anti-aging diet is also the best diet for prevention and treatment of diabetes, scleroderma, and the various "connective tissue diseases." This would emphasize high protein, low unsaturated fats, low iron, and high antioxidant consumption, with a moderate or low starch consumption.
In practice, this means that a major part of the diet should be milk, cheese, eggs, shellfish, fruits and coconut oil, with vitamin E and salt as the safest supplements."

No, I am not going to wade back through that morass and find it but I have no reason to make it up. Yes, I made an assumption that they were correct because that was in line with your efforts to defend your cigarette habit with pseudo science. You can see why that would seem logical, no? I'm glad it's not the case. Shall we drop this please?
Why do you feel the need to fault my "character"? That really seems like the weaksauce last ditch effort when you do not have a substantive argument left.
And what the heck is "speculated socio-anthropology" and what does it have to do with the price of rice in Hong Kong?

Let's all argue about nothing! I didn't read all 12 pages of this crap, but I get the point; lots of people on here act like jerks. Everyone who is upset about this shit needs to walk away and have a grass fed ribeye. Repeat as necessary until you calm down. Also, I drink bulletproof coffee sometimes and beer other times. Spend 3 weeks arguing about that, I'll be busy being awesome. Can't we all just focus on what is important? How much better we all are than regular people!

I've been reading a lot of Batman comics recently, so here is a riddle for you: What do ESPN and Kim Kardashian have in common?
Take your time.
I'll wait.
Okay, this is getting ridiculous, you should have figured it out by now.
I'm just going to give you the answer: Both can be seen in 3D!
As you probably already know, ESPN has a 3D channel. But now, Kardashian will be appearing in a 3D photo shoot for World's Most Beautiful magazine. And logically, I could only think of one thing when I read the news: What other sports hotties would I want to see in 3D?
From WAGs to athletes to reporters to one (smoking hot) fan, I've compiled a stunning list of ladies that should be seen in more than one dimension. So sit back, strap on your pretend 3D glasses, and enjoy the show!

Verify your calculations by using MultiSim to perform a transient analysis and recording your results in this report. Use what you learned in your Week 6 lab to perform a transient analysis, but this week you will display two outputs, either on the same graph or on separate graphs. You will display the voltage across the inductor and you will display the current through the inductor. If you choose to display the outputs on one graph, you should use the left and right axis of your graph to display the two scales. Compare these results with the values you calculated to see if they match and explain any discrepancies. Include a copy of your transient analyses from MultiSim along with the report. 3. Constructing the circuit using PAD trainer and taking actual measurements. The same rules outlined in �Wiring an RC Circuit� from your Week 6 lab apply here, but in this case your inductor is not polarized so there is no concern about the way you connect it in the circuit. Once the circuit is wired up, use the procedure you learned in the Week 6 lab to capture your signal. You will need a switch in the circuit in order to capture the voltage across the inductor. In the absence of a switch, you can manually use a wire to close and open the circuit. First, you want to measure the current, which is performed by swapping the order of your resistor and inductor so that the resistor is connected to ground. Measure the voltage across the resistor. This waveform will be physically identical to the current flowing through the circuit. You can use the measured value of the voltages at specific instances in time and divide that voltage by 1K to get the value of current. After saving your plot of �current,� reverse the order of the resistor and inductor so that the inductor is connected to ground. (Explain in your report why it is necessary to do this.) Compare your results with your calculated and simulated results. Explain any discrepancies and explain any measurements you had difficulty with. 4. All available results from your measurements should be displayed in a table for easy comparison. Along with your results, include any problems you had while performing this lab and how you resolved it. 5. Be sure that you answer the following questions related to your constructed circuit: 1. How does the self-resistance of the inductor affect the results? 2. What can be done to keep the current value to be the same as in the case of an ideal inductor? 3. How can the inductor in MultiSim be �redesigned� so that it more closely approximates the real inductor? This goes with the first question

Williams blocks nerves, shots in Otters' loss
Devin Williams had little time to think about facing Kitchener Friday night.
The Erie Otters' second-year goaltender didn't learn he would start until the pregame warmup at Kitchener Memorial Auditorium. Yet he still felt a "little bit antsy," Williams said before Saturday night's game against Guelph at Erie Insurance Arena. "You just get that way."
Williams found his comfort zone quickly, though, as he stopped 22-of-23 shots in the first period to keep the Otters in contention. He finished with 53 saves on 55 shots in a 3-1 loss to the rival Rangers.
Williams would be tied for sixth in the OHL in save percentage (.923) if he had played the minimum number of minutes (525) to qualify. He has played 260 minutes. Williams also would have a better record if he had received more offensive support from his teammates.
The Otters have scored eight goals in his four starts (0-3-1-0), including one goal apiece in his past three games. He stopped 137-of-146 shots in those games, including 48 saves in a 4-1 loss at Mississauga Nov. 4 and 53 more against the Rangers Friday.
"I feel like the guys obviously are trying their best to support me back there," said Williams, who has a 3.69 goals-against average. "I'm just trying to keep them in the game."
Williams has played well despite playing sparingly. But he was used to that role as a rookie a season ago, when he appeared in nine games.
"You prepare for every game like you're going to play," he said. "It's always great to play."
Williams said he has developed stronger practice habits this season. He works hard during workouts, and then stays on ice afterward for more work. He also has learned from No. 1 goaltender Oscar Dansk, who returned to the lineup Saturday after falling ill Friday.
Williams said he has picked up "a lot of things from (Dansk's) game."
"But at the same time," he said, "I have to stick to my game."
- News and notes: The Otters scratched center Jake Evans for Saturday's game because of a finger injury. He joined fellow forwards Nick Betz (appendicitis) and Dane Fox (foot) on the scratch list. ... Rookie defenseman Justin Felker replaced Evans at center.

Published March 27, 2014
The Department of Social and Preventive Medicine in the School of Public Health and Health Professions (SPHHP), a department formed in 1960 and known for its groundbreaking research in epidemiology, has changed its name to the Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health.
"The new name better reflects the teaching and research focus and strengths of our faculty, and our future strategic plans of development and to better meet the school's needs," says department chair and nutritional epidemiologist Youfa Wang.
"It also honors the work of the many outstanding scholars in these fields who put this department on the map. The department as constituted was founded in 1960, but work in these areas goes back to its origins in public sanitation around 123 years ago. The department has played a key role in the formation of SPHHP."
Wang says the new name also reflects the specific outstanding contributions the department has made to our knowledge of the epidemiology of cancer, infectious diseases in children, diabetes, osteoporosis, periodontal disease, eye disease, chronic diseases of aging and cardiovascular diseases, well as women's health and disease prevention, nutritional epidemiology, genetics and molecular epidemiology, environmental health and occupational health.
The department, which has been known by several names over the years, has an illustrious history dating back to the late 19th century when new university courses in public health, hygiene, sanitation and disease prevention reflected the sea change in medical research and practice occasioned by the development of aseptic techniques and public health principles.
The Division of Hygiene and Sanitation, founded in 1913, reflected and institutionalized this historic change. In 1919, in the midst of the great influenza pandemic, one of the deadliest events in recorded human history, the UB medical school established the Department of Hygiene and Public Health.
That department was to establish significant affiliations and collaborative ventures with Buffalo City Hospital (now Erie County Medical Center), the Erie County Health Department and Roswell Park Cancer Institute, which continue to this day. It also was influential in the establishment of the medical school's Chronic Disease Research Institute in the early 1950s
The department remained part of the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences as the Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health from 1945 until 1960, when it was renamed the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine.
In 2003, the department moved from the medical school and became part of the new School of Public Health and Health Professions. It continued its community and cross-disciplinary collaborations and added Master of Public Health graduate programs in epidemiology, environmental health and health services administration to its offerings.
"We have a long history of research in epidemiology and in environmental factors that influence health and disease," says Jean Wactawski-Wende, associate chair of the department and principal investigator of the NIH-funded Women's Health Initiative. "In 2010, we formally created a Division of Environmental Health Sciences, which was led by UB Distinguished Professor James Olson.
"The division brings together environmental epidemiologists, toxicologists, chemists, engineers, geographers and professionals from other disciplines to integrate various disciplines that focus on environmental health issues from a wide range of perspectives and research areas," she says. "This name change represents our epidemiologic excellence, but also our established environmental health program."
The department's research covers a wide breath of areas ranging from laboratory-based basic science to large population-based observational and intervention studies, including those related to national policies and environment pollution, from domestic to large international collaboration projects funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
In particular, faculty members are involved in NIH-funded research on the roles of diet and vitamin D in the etiology of cancer, age-related eye and periodontal disease; causes of cancer; cardiovascular and metabolic diseases; obesity and diet, physical activity and other lifestyle and environmental factors related to non-communicable chronic diseases; aging; global population health; influence of environment pollution and occupational exposures on health; genetic influences on diseases; and factors influencing and promoting women's and child's health.
Students can earn PhD and MS degrees in epidemiology, and MPH degrees in the fields of epidemiology, environmental health and health services administration. The department also partners with the medical school to offer MD/PhD training and a combined Internal Medicine-Preventive Medicine Residency Program. Other combined degree programs include the MPH with Law, Pharmacy, Management, Social Work and Medicine.
The department has been home to many distinguished scientists in the field, including the former chair, the late Saxon Graham, one of the fathers of chronic disease epidemiology and a member of the UB faculty from 1957 until his retirement in 1991. An internationally known expert on diet and cancer, he was a founding fellow of the American College of Epidemiology. His work on the epidemiology of cancer is of enduring significance.
Its faculty and graduates have included distinguished epidemiologists such as:
Other notables include the late Milton Terris, a professor and outspoken advocate for progressive public health policy, former president of the American Public Health Association and founder of the Journal of Public Policy, and Maurizio Trevisan, internationally known physician and epidemiologist in the field of cardiovascular and chronic disease. Trevisan served as professor of epidemiology and founding dean of the School of Public Health and Health Professions. He now is dean of the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education at City College of New York.
Today, the department is expanding rapidly and hiring several new faculty members to expand the research and training programs. The department is welcoming strong applications.
In addition to Wang, an internationally known expert on childhood obesity, and Wactawski-Wende, an expert on women's health, current faculty of note in the department include UB Distinguished Professor Jo L. Freudenheim, a former department chair who is a recognized leader in the areas of diet and genetics in the etiology of breast cancer, and Olson, who directs the department's Environmental Health Division and is also professor of pharmacology and toxicology in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
"Current departmental faculty members maintain a strong research portfolio and their work has been published in some of the most highly regarded scientific journals," Wang says, citing the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, Lancet, Circulation, Journal of the National Cancer Institute, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, American Journal of Epidemiology, International Journal of Epidemiology and Environmental Health Perspectives.
"This is an exciting time and a period of growth in the department," he says. "The new name reflects more clearly the focus of the department's research and educational missions."
Wang, who joined the department recently from Johns Hopkins University, says he was attracted to the department "based on its current strengths and impressive history, and the unprecedented opportunities at UB, including its ambitious UB 2020 initiatives. I look forward to building further on that great foundation."

Which language?
Hi, I'm tuntis. I have intermediate knowledge of PHP but I wish to learn an Windows programming language, and was wondering what would be the best and most "like PHP", along with easy user interface designing instead of something like C++ and making hundreds of lines to make one UI. (No offense)
Re: Which language?
Sounds like you're looking for Visual Basic. Not sure on how close to PHP.. but the controls are definately far easier to use than C++ for interfaces.
Re: Which language?
C#. Enough said.

I am not sure how compatible the heimdahl and mit kerberos dump/load
programs are. I suspect they can be made to work.
In a nutshell, try the following.
1. Dump the kerberos database on your MIT master to a file, you do this
with dump subcommand of kdb5_util.
2. Build your shiny new Heimdahl kdc, with the same name, kerberos realm
and database password as your old MIT master kdc.
3. Load the flat file from 1 into your shiny new Heimdahl database. You
will have to research how to do this, There may be a common format the
MIT dump and the Heimdahl load use, check your man pages and Google.
4. Test that kadmin and kerberos change password work on the new master.
5. Swap the new master for the old master.
6 Test database propagation to the slaves still work. You may have to,
or decide to, convert the slaves first in which case you modify this
task list a little.
7. Test that normal users can authenticate themselves.
If all goes well you have done it.
I hope this helps,

Splendid Isolation at Michigan's Forest Dunes Golf Club
There's no doubt that the tree-choked, slightly rolling land just northeast of Roscommon Township, Michigan (population 1,133), is an isolated place, a destination travelers have to want to visit rather than happen onto.
Forest Dunes Golf Club
These wooded hills and white-sand dunes have been carefully molded under the hand of Tom Weiskopf into one of the nation's top golf courses - Forest Dunes Golf Club. Here, splendid isolation is a big part of the appeal of the overall experience, and the course is one that golfers, hackers and golf-architecture aficionados all clamor to visit.
Weiskopf, the former British Open champion and designer of scores of great courses, considers Forest Dunes one of his three top efforts. And the track is proof in the pudding.
Forest Dunes has been always been a media darling, ranking No. 45 on Golf Magazine's list of the nation's top-100 courses. Golf World readers selected it as the top public course in the country and it's a perennial choice on Golfweek's list of its top-100 modern American courses. The venue has also been lauded by just about everyone who's made their way to Michigan's backcountry.
Immaculate Conditioning is
a Hallmark at Forest Dunes
Forest Dunes' geographic isolation has made it financially problematic and the club has struggled to survive the recent economic challenges. Things are looking up, though, as the property was recently purchased by Lew Thompson, a trucking company magnate from Huntsville, Ark. Thompson is also the managing member of the partnership that owns and operates Bridges Golf and Country Club on Colorado's Western Slope city of Montrose.
Thompson has set in motion an ambitious plan to assure that the club can thrive, part of which is a 22-room hotel with four luxury suites that will be attached to the club's expansive Adirondack lodge-style clubhouse. Thompson said he is planning to have the hotel open by mid-2013.
The Seventh Green at Forest Dunes
Colorful History
Forest Dunes was once part of a large parcel owned by William Durant, the founder of General Motors. Durant also owned a 1,500-acre parcel known as the Mason Tract, just east of Forest Dunes.
In the 1930s Durant sold the 1,200-acre parcel that now contains Forest Dunes to the Detroit Partnership (the collective name for the Tocco, Licavoli and Zerilli families that comprised the "Motor City Mafia").
Then called the South Branch Ranch, the property served as the private hunting grounds for the crime families and their colleagues, and legend has it that machine gun-toting guards protected the property. Teamster Union chief Jimmy Hoffa was a regular visitor, leaving some to speculate that he might still be a permanent fixture (now that's a real hazard!).
After its debut in 1998 Forest Dunes was plagued by financial woes, almost closing mere months after opening. In 2001, the Detroit Carpenters Union Pension Trust Fund took over the ownership of the course and carried it until Thompson became the proprietor.
The course is set along the western border of the 40,000-acre Huron National Forest in an environmentally sensitive area near Au Sable River, one of the nation's top fly-fishing venues.
Efforts to protect the river earned Forest Dunes the highest level of recognition a golf course can receive - a Gold Signature Certification from Audubon International. Only 21 other golf properties in the world have that certification, and Forest Dunes is the only such course in Michigan.
Forest Dunes GC's No. 9 Green & Clubhouse
Two Sides, Two Types of Terrain
Par-72 Forest Dunes stretches 7,141 yards from its back set of four tees, where it has a rating of 74.8 and a 142 Slope. The course features two distinct nines - the tree-lined "forest nine" heads out and the more-open "dunes nine" is the home half.
The course boasts white-sand bunkers that accentuate the verdant fairways and greens, and water borders five holes. Generally, there's plenty of safe space near the putting surfaces, with open areas in front allowing a bump-and-run approach. That said, missing greens can extract extra strokes as the putting surfaces are severely sloped and quick.
After the dunesy, 399-yard par-4 opener, the first real challenge is found at the 451-yard par-4 second, which is laterally treed the length of the fairway before ending at a green protected short and left by a huge bunker. There are bunkers surrounding the 208-yard par-3 third.
The fifth, a 602-yard par-5 that plays downhill to a landing area and further downhill to the green, offers a wider route. But beware of two deep bunkers along the right of the fairway and another even larger one back and right of the green.
The 16th at Forest Dunes
A towering tree separates the fairway on the 375-yard, par-4 sixth and, on the seventh, a 531-yard par-5, the green is tucked behind two tall trees, one of which is in the bunker at the right-front.
The wide, 448-yard par-4 eighth curls to the right at the 200-yard mark. Big hitters can carry their drives over the right-side bunker complex to the 130-yard landing area and find a great scoring opportunity. The approach here is one of the most beautiful on the course: downhill to a green guarded by a water hazard short and right and three sand bunkers at the rear.
The course ventures out of the forest at the 203-yard par-3 ninth, which calls for a healthy carry over water to a green ringed by further imperiled by five bunkers.
With a few exceptions, the back nine is almost entirely on wide-open, sandy dunes. The 479-yard par-4 10th has a split fairway separated by a huge bunker and an upside-down "U-shaped" green with ridges at its left and right-center.
At just 373 yards, the par-4 13th isn't alarming when viewed on the scorecard. But once on the tee, Weiskopf's flair shows. The tee shot has to carefully fit between two pines, and the slightly domed green tends to repel approaches into a cavernous bunker at the right.
The 464-yard 14th has a links look, with fescue surrounding the sculpted tees and numerous bunkers bordered by high grasses and thick rough. A massive fairway trap lurks along the right at the 175-yard mark, and water runs from this juncture all the way to the green.
A drive over a natural area starts the 558-yard par-5 15th, with bunkers right and trees left squeezing the fairway near the 250-yard spot. Long hitters may be tempted to go for the green in two, but if this hole is played as a three-shotter a safer score is possible.
There is water left and room right of the drivable 302-yard par-4 17th (Weiskopf's signature design treatment at Forest Dunes and other courses), inviting a tee shot to the green between three bunkers. But it seems like there are miles of sand dunes on both sides of the fairway.
No. 18 Green at Forest Dunes GC
The closer, a par-5 of just 531 yards, offers another scoring opportunity. Because the green is slightly downhill from the landing area, it can be readily reached. But a lake that runs along the left side of the hole and wraps around the back of the green and a waste area right causes players to pause before going for broke.
As if 18 holes wasn't enough, Weiskopf built a 19th hole, an uphill 119-yard and across-the-water gem with a Riviera-esque bunker in the middle of the green. Complementing the layout is a fine practice facility and a two-and-a-half-acre putting course.
Forest Dunes is about a two-and-a-half-hour drive from the northern suburbs of metropolitan Detroit and less than 15 miles off I-75 at Exit 239. There's no doubt this course is worth the trouble to find. It is a must-play in the Wolverine State.

• An Intravenous magnesium-loading test with 30 mmol/L of magnesium was used to evaluate the magnesium status in 38 patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) admitted to the coronary care unit with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI), in ten healthy volunteers (control group), and in nine patients with chronic IHD in a stable phase of their disease (chronic IHD group). Sixteen of the patients admitted with acute disease proved to have AMI (AMI group) and 22 did not (non-AMI group). Patients with IHD both with and without AMI retained significantly more magnesium (9.3 and 10.7 mmol/L [22.6 and 26 mg/dL], respectively) than did the control group (1.4 mmol/L [3.4 mg/dL]). This 34% magnesium retention points to a state of magnesium deficiency in patients with IHD. However, since the patients with and without AMI did not differ, the observations do not indicate that AMI is associated with a more severe magnesium deficiency than that found in other IHD patients without AMI. When the patients with IHD were subgrouped according to long-term diuretic treatment, the patients (n=19) receiving long-term diuretic treatment had a 39% retention of magnesium (11.6 mmol/L [28.2 mg/dL]) compared with a 29% retention (8.7 mmol/L [21.1 mg/dL]) observed in 19 patients who were not receiving long-term diuretic treatment. This observation was not influenced by the presence or absence of AMI. An even higher level of magnesium retention (17.1 mmol/L [41.6 mg/dL] equals 57% retention) was found when investigating patients with chronic ischemic heart disease in a stable phase of their disease. This indicates that patients with IHD may be severely magnesium deficient; that long-term diuretic treatment contributes to this deficiency, but that diuretic treatment per se Is not the only cause of this condition.

Although the FTB suggests there are conflicting facts, it has not identified any. The stipulation covers most of the facts, and the other facts submitted by appellants are uncontradicted.
"'The question of residence or domicile is a mixed question of law and fact, and the determination of the trial court, upon conflicting evidence, is conclusive upon this court. . . .'" (Estate of Phillips (1969) 269 Cal.App.2d 656, 659-660.) But when as in this case, "the issue . . . involves the applicability of a statute to stipulated and uncontradicted facts, we are confronted purely with a question of law and are not bound by the findings of the trial court." (Whittell, supra, 231 Cal.App.2d at p. 283; see also Klemp v. Franchise Tax Bd. (1975) 45 Cal.App.3d 870, 872.)
To what extent, if any, the court gives deference to the conclusions of the FTB and Board of Equalization depends upon a number of factors. (See Yamaha Corp. of America v. State Bd. of Equalization (1998) 19 Cal.4th 1, 7-8; Yamaha Corp. of America v. State Bd. of Equalization (1999) 73 Cal.App.4th 338, 349-354.) As we come to the same conclusion in this case as the FTB, we need not attempt to analyze the quantum of deference, if any, accorded to the decisions of the FTB and Board of Equalization.

Shared Insight: Utilities Power Up with Lifecycle Approach to Capital Projects
By Melissa Centurio Lopes on Apr 27, 2016
By: Mike Sicilia, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Primavera
Today's utility executives, along with their colleagues in other asset-intensive industries, face formidable challenges. Growing business and regulatory complexity are constants. Layer on continued economic vulnerability along with an aging infrastructure and workforce retirements, the latter of which utility execs cite as their top two challenges – and enterprises are left at a significant disadvantage when managing capital projects.
In this precarious environment, utilities must ensure that their investments drive enterprise value, while reducing costs and improving operational efficiency. Mismanagement of capital projects can result in high cost overruns, delayed initiatives, and regulatory compliance issues ‒ further compounding present-day business hurdles. The stakes and hurdles are high – but far from impossible to surmount. Utilities that cultivate effective enterprise project portfolio management methodology and consistently embrace proactive strategies that address all stages of an initiative's lifecycle are well positioned for success. Many of these same strategies apply and can be replicated across a wide spectrum of asset-intensive industries, such as communications, oil and gas, and engineering and construction.
A Challenging OutlookUtility executives face a perilous balancing act when planning, building, and operating assets. While it's vital for projects to continuously deliver results, many face an upward battle from the start, well before they become operational. For example, an Accenture report found that only 39 percent of utilities capital projects were completed on budget, and less than half on schedule.
Several factors are at work – each of which underscores the compelling need for careful management and precise execution at every turn:
- Limited Capital: Limited availability, through either the markets or internal funding, means that capital for major projects is not only scarce, but also costly and requires close management to ensure an acceptable return-on-investment (ROI)
- Aging Infrastructure: In the United States, the power delivery system – like many other types of national infrastructure ‒ is based on technology developed and installed decades years ago – resulting in an increasing number of power disruptions and heightened vulnerability to cyber attack
- Regulatory Uncertainty: The regulatory environment continues to grow more complex, causing some utilities to err on the side of caution by stifling potentially innovative capital projects
- Constrained Workforce: Thirty-two percent of the utility workforce will retire in the next 10 to 15 years, according to the 2014 Aging Utility Workforce report by Interactive Intelligence Group Inc., and many utilities are struggling to recruit new talent to replace these valued resources. The oil and gas as well as communications industries face similar realities. The highly skilled workers exiting the workforce will take 30 to 40 years of institutional and subject matter knowledge and expertise with them. Most of this knowledge has not been captured and operationalized in modern systems ‒ leaving enterprises at risk
- Costly Raw Materials: As economic, regulatory, and environmental factors exert upward price pressures on many raw materials, utilities find it harder to acquire them at reasonable costs
Embracing All Aspects of the Project Lifecycle to Drive Success
So, how can a utility, and other asset-intensive organizations, overcome these challenges and ensure capital project success?
First, it's important to consider the complete project lifecycle at the start of an initiative – from planning and execution to operation and maintenance, and ultimately, decommissioning ‒ and involve all key internal and external stakeholders throughout the process. Securing early input from employees, who will be responsible for infrastructure maintenance and ultimately have ownership of the asset, is crucial. Their insight and knowledge can reduce the long-term costs of operating the asset as well as the risk of decommissioning the project down the line.There is no question that adopting a complete lifecycle approach to capital projects is a complex undertaking. It requires real-time enterprise-wide insight, sophisticated "what-if" modeling, and knowledge capture that traditional spreadsheet-based project management models cannot deliver.
That's where enterprise project portfolio management (EPPM) methodologies and solutions enter the picture. In addition to automating and operationalizing processes, EPPM solutions equip utility executives to evaluate and prioritize projects across the enterprise. They also provide full visibility into the project lifecycle, enabling organizations to track performance and costs, model and mitigate risks, and manage people and resources across the organization to streamline processes and optimize available assets.
utilities executives continue to face a vast array of challenges and scenarios,
EPPM solutions have a distinct and essential role to contribute at each stage
of the project management lifecycle:
- Planning: Effective planning is particularly important when choosing the capital projects that will deliver the greatest value. A solid portfolio solution uses repeatable governance processes and consistent evaluation metrics – helping to ensure an enterprise is equipped to choose investment proposals, fund strong business cases, perform "what-if" scenarios, and analyze performance progress
- Execution: EPPM solutions enable staff to review construction progress in various regions and on multiple projects, improving communication between all parties involved on a project, while helping project directors manage incoming demand and prioritize projects and activities based on the organization's overall objectives. By providing these capabilities, an EPPM solution can successfully link people, teams, and projects – offering complete control of a capital project's lifecycle
- Operation and Maintenance: The tools a utility uses in the planning and building stages are just as essential during the project's ongoing maintenance. A project's profitability depends largely on scheduling and deploying resources in the most efficient manner across all maintenance activities. When an asset is offline for maintenance, it's not generating revenue – but an EPPM solution can help a utility to plan, schedule, and manage maintenance to optimize resources, asset value, and uptime
- Decommissioning: The decommissioning phase of an asset lifecycle is the last thing that a utility project manager wants to consider during the planning, execution, and even early operational stages. This mindset, however, can create additional expense and risk in the future. EPPM solutions can play a vital role in capturing and operationalizing information that is vital to the distant decommissioning phase. When it's time for decommissioning, EPPM methodologies and tools are essential to a managing on-time and on-budget initiatives, just as they are when bringing a new asset online.
Set the Stage for Success
While EPPM solutions can drive success across the end-to-end project lifecycle, they can also have significant impact on asset optimization during individual phases.For instance, a large utility in Canada uses EPPM methodology and solutions to manage its resources. In the past, the company filled service orders for construction and maintenance work via multiple manual processes and a series of highly customized and poorly integrated software systems for workforce management. The company, which deployed Oracle's Primavera solutions, has improved its ability to plot work activities and determine what resources will be required to supplement existing resources. It can now also easily consolidate requirements for the peak project season by specific geographies. The utility has increased efficiency by shifting dispatching of resources to schedules in local offices and has gained the ability to effectively coordinate and manage resources based on local conditions and constraints – yielding greater efficiency and value from assets.
Utilities – as well as other types of asset-intensive enterprises ‒ have witnessed dynamics business transformation in recent years to a much more volatile and competitive marketplace. Now, more than ever, these organizations depend on EPPM solutions to propel capital projects forward through a gauntlet of challenges by improving collaboration and communication, better managing resources to ensure the right people are on the job at the right time, and mitigating and managing project risk.

A wooded granite mass 20km long and 16km wide, Mount Vitosha, 8km south of the city, is where Sofians go for picnics and skiing. The ascent of its highest peak, the 2290m Cherni Vrah, has become a traditional test of stamina. Getting here on public transport is straightforward, although there are fewer buses on weekdays than at weekends. Take tram #5 from behind the Law Courts to Ovcha Kupel bus station, then change to bus #61, which climbs through the forests towards Zlatni Mostove, a beauty spot on the western shoulder of Mount Vitosha beside the so-called Stone River. Beneath the large boulders running down the mountainside is a rivulet which once attracted gold-panners. Trails lead up beside the stream towards the mountain's upper reaches: Cherni Vrah is about two to three hours' walk from here.

Louisiana rice producers, including a VP resident, deliver concerns to Capitol Hill
WASHINGTON — Louisiana rice producers met Obama administration officials and lawmakers on Capitol Hill Feb. 9-11, to discuss farm bill issues, trade, conservation and other concerns during USA Rice Federation's 2009 Government Affairs Conference.
Rice producers Jackie Loewer (Branch), Clarence Berken (Lake Arthur) and Richard B. Fontenot of Ville Platte were among and participants in more than 40 separate sessions with lawmakers, their staffs, and agency officials to voice concerns, especially about the implementation of the new farm law as Congress intended.
Producers urged Rep. Charles Boustany to continue to support a strong farm safety net for the state's rice farmers. Boustany, a longtime ally of Louisiana agricultural producers, said he would continue to advocate for a safety net and intends to support other legislative efforts of key importance to the rice industry, including the expansion of travel and trade with Cuba.

The Humane Society of Central Oregon is having a tough time picking up donations for the thrift store it relies on, due to thieves who pulled off an unusual heist.
A week ago, the entire rear axle of one of the organization's pickup trucks was stolen right off the truck.
Shelter officials told NewsChannel 21 on Saturday it will cost more than $1,000 to replace the axle.
Community Outreach Director Lynne Ouchida said more than 40 percent of the organization's operating budget comes from its thrift store.
Ouchida said they truck is being checked out an auto company, and she's waiting to find out if other parts also were ripped from the vehicle.
"It's just really sad when people are actually stealing literally from money that could go to help homeless animals," Ouchida said.
Ouchida said some people have already donated to help replace the axle.
You can contact the Humane Society of Central Oregon at 541-382-3537 if you would like to donate, or visit www.hsco.org.
Anyone with information on the theft is asked to call Bend police at 541- 322-2960. You can also call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 1-877-876-TIPS or visit the Crime Stoppers page at KTVZ.COM and use an online form. You can remain anonymous, and you could be eligible for a cash reward.

The Miners Foundry Cultural Center and Gold Dust Collective present "One Fine Day: The Nevada City Wedding Event of 2014," Sunday at the historic foundry in downtown Nevada City.
Inspired by today's nontraditional brides looking for unique and wedding ideas, One Fine Day is an experiential showcase featuring many wedding purveyors and professionals.
From wedding planners and vintage letter press printers to florists specializing in seasonal and local flowers and pâtissiers with an array of deserts including cakes, pies and cookies to sample, brides will find everything they need to ensure they stand out from the crowd on their special day.
"We are finding today's brides are rebelling from the 'more is more' mantra that guided wedding design in years past. They are looking for ways to make their day an authentic and soulful representation of themselves," said Carrie Hawthorne, co-owner of Gold Dust Collective, a boutique event and wedding planner.
"They are choosing design that reflects their real lives and quality in the details over garish opulence. They are choosing local and organic over fussy food, DJs who play actual records, vintage photo booths, creative cocktails, and editorial photographs. It's more relaxed and real."
Kat Kress, the booking coordinator at the Miners Foundry agrees. Wedding rentals of the historic building have steadily increased over the last year with nearly 45 weddings planned for 2014.
Many of the brides are traveling as far as the Bay Area and Southern California in search of a venue and town that can offer not only the bride and groom, but their guests, an unforgettable weekend.
The Foundry with its stone walls and hand-hewn timber beams is the perfect blank slate to create the popular rustic chic weddings that are in such high demand.
And Nevada City with its historic charm and easy access to the beautiful natural landscape is the perfect weekend getaway.
The press is taking notice as well. Last year, weddings at the Miners Foundry were featured on MarthaStewartWeddings.com and in "Real Weddings" magazine.
"Though most of our couples are from out of the area, there is usually some connection to Nevada City. This is a place that gets stuck in your heart. It doesn't hurt that we have a little something to offer everyone — both wild and refined," says Erin Lewis, co-owner of Gold Dust Collective.
"We find that couples are inviting their guests to make a long weekend of it, outlining the outdoor attractions and activities in town."
This year's inaugural event also has ideas and inspiration for same-sex unions, live music from jazz quartet Hot Club and DJ's Shocks & Struts spinning only vinyl during the live fashion show, and a full bar with signature drinks.
One Fine Day creates a cocktail party environment, where a bride and her entourage can learn hair and makeup tips and tricks, meet and engage with vendors, sample food and drink, and gather inspiration to throw a party of a lifetime.

"Sonthi has asserted that he staged the coup only to 'do his job' and has no intention to cling to power," said Chaturon, former acting leader of the defunct Thai Rak Thai Party.
However, if Sonthi decides to run in the next poll, it would show he actually wanted to gain power under the rules written for his control, Chaturon said.
Sonthi on Tuesday said he had not thought of his future after his retirement as Army commander-in-chief at the end of September, especially on whether he would run in the next election. He refused to comment more on the speculation.
Sonthi came under fire from critics and allies recently following rumours that he is planning to lead a new political party backed by the military in the next election. They believe Sonthi wants to cling to power.
Prasong, chairman of the Constitution Drafting Assembly, said Sonthi should have second thoughts if he is planning to jump into politics. He said the CNS chief would not be able to avoid fierce criticism that the September 19 coup to oust the government of Thaksin Shinawatra was only for his and his clan's benefits.
At the beginning, the people did not oppose the junta and the [military-installed] government, but they were later disappointed with them, Prasong said. Those new rulers should take the public sentiments seriously, he added.
Prasong said Sonthi should consider the propriety of the situation. He must resign as CNS chairman before running in the election. However, as the interim government and the CNS would be involved in conducting the election, doubts might rise over issues of fairness and transparency.
"The generals in the CNS have been speculating for a while about their intention to cling to power," Prasong said. Moreover, it was linked to the constitution drafting, which made the people doubt if the whole incident was part of a CNS plot to retain power, he said.
Prasong also cautioned Sonthi that after being a professional soldier throughout his career, he might be trounced by experienced politicians.
He said Sonthi had no need to be concerned if he would be the target of revenge attacks after his retirement. If the CNS chief wins the hearts of the whole nation by his sincerity to serve the people, the people and the soldiers would protect him from any future threats, he added.
Democrat secretary-general Suthep Thaugsuban struck a contradictory note and said Sonthi had every right to run his Lower House campaign.
"It would be a good sign if Sonthi would turn himself into a politician because that is the way of democracy. We should appreciate him [if he did it that way]. He is welcome," Suthep said.
"Every single person has the right to run in the election, no matter who they are - businessman, farmer, policeman or soldier. I haven't talked about the matter with him. But, in general, the Army commander-in-chief, government officials or ordinary people are welcome here at the Democrat Party," Suthep said.
Chat Thai Party leader Banharn Silapa-archa said Sonthi should be welcomed to join politics as he needed a "haven" to ensure he would not "get hurt" after leaving power.
Other political figures also weighed in on the issue on Tuesday, with some cautioning the CNS chief and urging him to think carefully before making the decision.
One of the Ruam Jai Thai group leaders, Anek Laothammatas, said the timing was not appropriate for Sonthi to be running in the coming election. Anek said Sonthi must hold the position of CNS chairman before the next government is formed. If he runs in the election, and has to step down from the CNS, another CNS chief would have to be appointed and problems could occur as a result of that.
Anek suggested Sonthi should wait for the next election.
Political scientist Chai-anan Samudvanija said party-list MP will be best bet for Sonthi should he want to enter politics. He said Sonthi should not establish a party and warned that "Being a party leader will be risky [for Sonthi]".
However, Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said it would be better for Sonthi to run in the election rather than pursue power in other ways.

Carey toys with nostalgia on new album
Mariah Carey, "Me. I Am Mariah ... The Elusive Chanteuse" ***
That's some identifier Mariah offers as her new album's title. We'd expect nothing less from pop-soul's reigning drama queen, the only diva who could sit next to Nicki Minaj and shine brighter.
Carey toys here with the legerdemain of nostalgia, the iconic songcraft of her past. That's a relief, because her last albums have been as pompous sonically (too many rote synths) as they have been lyrically (fine, that's her mien).
"Cry" then feels like "Vision of Love," an ascending, piano-led ballad with a similar heartiness in its vocal. Bringing along '90s rappers (Nas) and composers (George Michael) aids Carey's vintage vibe handsomely. Mariah's got a lot of reminiscing to do. Going too far backward is unnecessary considering that "Faded" sounds like she has found a loopy balance between the quavering Carey upping the wattage on her sequencers and the high-wire theatrical singer of yore. A few more great melodies, and "Elusive" would have been less elusive.
Ultimately, it's the new memories that Mariah makes on the stripped-to-the-bone, midtempo R&B of "Beautiful" with Latin-rapper Miguel that should be Carey's direction home.
-- A.D. Amorosi, Philadelphia Inquirer
Parquet Courts, "Sunbathing Animal" ***
In March, Parquet Courts posted on its Web page an amusing list of 50-odd quotes from reviews that referred to the musicians as a "slacker" band. It was both a provocative jab at critical groupthink and a pre-emptive strike ahead of its third album, the new "Sunbathing Animal." Following the success of 2012's brilliant "Light Up Gold" -- the impetus for those reviews -- and a year of near-constant touring, the Brooklyn band's members have chosen to double down on their DIY punk-rock roots. "Sunbathing Animal" is a frenetic word-rush of existential art-punk that occasionally slows for moments of pained reflection.
"Do I bother to define myself beyond what they allow? Have I forgotten how?" Andrew Savage blurts in "Black & White," a two-chord wonder that veers into no-wave dissonance. Songs on "Sunbathing Animal" are both longer and tighter than on "Light Up Gold," and the words and riffs are edgier and angrier, albeit less immediate. There's nothing slack about them.
-- Steve Klinge, Philadelphia Inquirer
Craig Bickhardt, "The More I Wonder" ***1/2
After 24 fruitful years in Nashville -- he penned four No. 1 country hits and nine top 10s -- Craig Bickhardt moved back to the Philadelphia area in 2006 to focus on his own performing career. "The More I Wonder" is another sterling showcase for his myriad talents.
Despite his success in Music City, Bickhardt is not really country. His music is a blend of folk, country and pop, accented by his fluid acoustic guitar, and its exquisite craftsmanship and feeling play beautifully against the smart and literary quality of his lyrics. He strikes a deep chord whether he's singing about the father-son bond in "Giant Steps" (dedicated to his son Jake, whose twin sister Aislinn sings harmonies, as she does throughout the album) or, in "Stan," painting a poignant portrait of the human cost of the city of Bethlehem's death and rebirth.
"There Is No Night," meanwhile, offers up the album's title line -- "The more I know/ The more I wonder" -- and hints at what keeps Bickhardt's muse sharp after all these years.
-- Nick Cristiano, Philadelphia Inquirer

Make plans to join us for the 2012 Woodland Owners Short Course. This program is a great opportunity for you and your family to learn how to enhance your woodlands and get the most from your ownership experience. Most woodland owners are not aware of the wide variety of organizations and programs available to help them care for their woodlands.
Many middle-aged adults are finding themselves caring and supporting two generations- their children and their aging parents. While caregiving can be very rewarding, it often can bring additional emotional, physical and financial stresses for caregivers as they try to balance a career, parenting and elder care.
According to the Family Caregiver Alliance, 520,000 Kentucky informal caregivers provide 570 million hours of care each year. The estimated value of this care is worth more than $5.4 billion.
Summer is here, and with it many opportunities to be involved in activities such as hiking, running, biking and swimming. It is important during these normally hot and humid months that you drink enough water and stay hydrated.
In our efforts to beat the summer heat it is easy to grab the first drink available. Often this could be sodas, vitamin water, sports and fruit drinks, smoothies, lemonade and sweetened ice tea. These drinks are high in calories and can lead to calorie over load.
Retirement planning is important for all individuals; however, it is especially important for women. At some point during their lives, 80 to 90 percent of women will be solely responsible for their own finances. Unfortunately for the majority of them, it will be later in life. Women tend to have shorter work histories than men, as a result of entering and leaving the workforce due to raising children. In addition, fewer women participate in employer-sponsored retirement plans compared to men.
Kentucky is known for its rolling hills, but these hills can pose great dangers when navigated by inexperienced all-terrain vehicle drivers. Under-standing how to safely ride on hills is important for ATV drivers of all ages and experience levels.
Navigating hills improperly could cause the driver to lose control or cause the ATV to overturn. Both could result in serious personal injury or death.
Few fruits signify summer in Kentucky more than fresh blackberries. This wild fruit had been tamed over the years, but wild or tame, they are still satisfying.
Dealing with Type 2 diabetes can be difficult at any age, but it can be especially troubling for teenagers, who must also deal with the pressures of youth including self-image and self-worth. As a parent, you can do simple things to make managing this disease easier for your teen and your entire family.
Obesity is one of the leading causes of Type 2 diabetes. Helping overweight teenagers with diabetes reach and maintain a healthy weight may help them feel physically and mentally better and may improve their glucose, or blood sugar, levels.
Quite a few years back, before Carole and I were married, I enjoyed growing hybrid tea roses. I am partial to roses with a deep musky rose fragrance, although I will have to admit I can enjoy a rose for its beauty alone. But to me, fragrance and beauty go hand-in-hand. Roses can be a lot of work, but the effort is well worth it.

Welcome to the primal community! You seem to be on the perfect track. In my mind, your eating for today is pure primal. Dairy is accepted if one can digest it. I am able to digest small amounts. I enjoy raw cheese - the flavor is too good to give up! And, its an excellent source of protein and fat.
Garden work and a hike is a great workout too! Walk as much as you can as well.
Summer is the perfect time to go primal and the easiest in my mind. I have been primal for 2 months and will never look back.

Doctor Neal Emerson was a charismatic lecturer who extolled the health benefits of magnetism. Early on, he started displaying the behaviour of a split personality, which eventually made him become the magnetic villain Doctor Polaris. Originally a bandana-wearing, magnet-gun-wielding thief, Polaris later became more powerful due to his meta-gene, and more insane due to his personality disorder. Today, he is one of the most dangerous beings on Earth. For a long time, Polaris was mainly Green Lantern Hal Jordan's enemy, but has since then battled a plethora of heroes – including the JLA, the Titans, Aquaman, Hawkman (III), the Flash (III), Steel (III), Starman (V), Power Girl, the Ray (II), Damage (who is in fact Emerson's nephew), Hamilton Drew, Xerř, and the Power Company.
An encounter with a spherical entity at the North Pole temporarily expanded Emerson's mind, enabling him to project Doctor Polaris as a separate entity. Polaris subsequently returned to the Pole, using technology to directly tap Earth's magnetic field and become 'a living magnetic battery'. Today, he is a veritable force of nature. Through it all, Neal Emerson's personality has continued to resurface at intervals, no matter how many times the Polaris persona tries to get rid of it. More than once, their internal clashes have been enough to render Polaris outwardly catatonic.
During the Joker's 'Last Laugh' riots at the Slab prison, Polaris managed to link himself with the Earth's magnetic field. Literally becoming the South Pole, the planet's axis now follows him with each step he takes. Though captured by the JLA, Polaris couldn't be moved from the area without unleashing catastrophic destruction across the globe. Instead, the Slab was relocated around Polaris, with Black Mass designated as his cellmate in order to cancel out his excessive magnetism. Polaris has since been known to escape the Slab with Black Mass in his proximity, preventing disaster.
Doctor Polaris was eventually killed by the Human Bomb during the event known as Infinite Crisis.
