Signing Day 2014 live blog
Happy National Signing Day, folks. I'll be keeping this space updated all day as the faxes roll in and from Paul Chryst's press conference at 3 p.m. over on the South Side. With the defection of Wade Freebeck yesterday, Pitt is expecting 22 Letters of Intent to come in today (defensive end Rori Blair is already enrolled) and, hopefully, no other late surprises. Players can start sending their LOIs in at 7 a.m., so after that time, make sure to check back here for updates as they come in...
11:26 a.m. - With all 23 now official, here's a look at Pitt's final 2014 recruiting class:
QB Adam Bertke, 6-6, 210 lbs, Maria Stein, Ohio (Marion Local High School)
RB Qadree Ollison, 6-2, 215 lbs, Niagara Falls, N.Y. (Canisius High School)
RB Dennis Briggs, 5-10, 195 lbs, Pittsburgh, Pa. (Shady Side Academy)
RB Chris James, 5-11, 210 lbs, Chicago, Ill. (Notre Dame College Prep)
WR Adonis Jennings, 6-3, 195 lbs, Clementon, N.J. (Timber Creek High School)
WR Elijah Zeise, 6-2, 195 lbs, Pittsburgh, Pa. (North Allegheny High School)
TE Brian O'Neill, 6-6, 245 lbs, Wilmington, Del. (Salesianum School)
OL Alex Bookser, 6-6, 295 lbs, Mt. Lebanon, Pa. (Mt. Lebanon High School)
OL Mike Grimm, 6-6, 325 lbs, Bethel Park, Pa. (Bethel Park High School)
OL Connor Hayes, 6-4, 270 lbs, Traverse City, Mich. (Traverse City West High School)
DL Rori Blair, 6-4, 230 lbs, Pittsburgh, Pa. (Upper St. Clair High School)
DL Hez Trahan, 6-4, 250 lbs, Philadelphia, Pa. (Roman Catholic High School)
DL Shane Roy, 6-4, 245 lbs, Cincinnati, Ohio (Reading High School)
DL Connor Dintino, 6-3, 295 lbs, Mashpee, Mass. (Choate Rosemary Hall (Conn.))
DL Mike Herndon, 6-4, 320 lbs, Staunton, Va. (Riverheads High School)
LB Jamal Davis II, 6-2, 200 lbs, Canton, Ohio (Canton McKinley High School)
LB James Folston Jr., 6-3, 200 lbs, Rockledge, Fla. (Cocoa High School)
LB Quintin Wirginis, 6-2, 220 lbs, Pittsburgh, Pa. (Fox Chapel High School)
DB Avonte Maddox, 5-9, 165 lbs, Detroit, Mich. (Martin Luther King High School)
DB Phillipie Motley, 5-10, 170 lbs, Columbus, Ohio (Hilliard Davidson High School)
DB Patrick Amara 6-2, 190 lbs, Lansdowne, Pa. (West Catholic High School)
DB Jalen Williams, 6-2, 180 lbs, Newburgh, N.Y. (Newburgh Free Academy)
ATH Jaquaun Davidson, 6-2, 170 lbs, Elizabeth, Pa. (Elizabeth Forward High School)
10:35 a.m. - There we have it. DE Hez Trahan and WR Adonis Jennings have both sent their LOIs in to Pitt and that'll wrap up Pitt's 2014 class. Trahan is a bit of a project at defensive end, and was recruited mostly on his potential. He's 6-foot-4, 250 pounds, and if he develops well could be a contributor down the road. Jennings, meanwhile, is another guy with a strong chance to play as a freshman in 2014. He's 6-foot-3, 195 pounds and has really nice hands for a high school senior. Wide receiver is another spot where Pitt has an open starting job next season. I'm not sure that I expect Jennings to step in and be a major factor right away (like Tyler Boyd) but he's certainly a good bet to be a contributor in 2014.
9:43 a.m. - Only a few more recruits still left out there for Pitt. Over the last hour or so, the Panthers have received LOIs from CB Avonte Maddox, S Patrick Amara and LB Jamal Davis. With 20 faxes now in, Pitt's just waiting on WR Adonis Jennings, one of the biggest names in this class, and DE Hez Trahan. Maddox could be a steal as a cornerback. He's really quick, and, like I mentioned with Motley, there could be opportunities for playing time at cornerback next season. Amara has won over a lot of fans with his gregarious nature on Twitter, and he has really picked up some more interest and accolades over the past few months. I wrote about him a few weeks ago about the bond he had formed with former Pitt running back LeSean McCoy. Davis, a Canton, Ohio, native, tweeted earlier this morning that he might not be able to get his fax in because he didn't have school today, but he was obviously able to get everything taken care of. Only waiting on two more now...
8:49 a.m. - We're up to 17 signees for the Panthers now, less than two hours into the day. The latest were CB Phillipie Motley and RB Chris James. Motley chose Pitt over mostly MAC offers, but will come in at a spot where there could be playing time to be had. Lafayette Pitts and Titus Howard seem like the only sure bets to see the field at cornerback next year, so Motley could have a chance to earn some snaps. James, on the other, is probably the most likely recruit of the 2014 class to see the field. He's got a really nice mix of size and speed and could add a nice new weapon in the backfield for Chryst and company next year. Chryst has shown he has no problem using multiple RBs, and I would expect James to be one of them next season.
8:34 a.m. - Three more faxes in and we're now at 15 of 22. Pitt has now officially received LOIs from QB Adam Bertke, OL Alex Bookser and LB James Folston, Jr. Bertke is obviously even more important in the wake of Freebeck's decommitment yesterday, and some recruiting services had him ranked higher than Freebeck. He's a big guy (6-foot-6, 210 lbs), but there are some questions about the level of competition he faced in small-school Ohio high school ball. Ideally for Pitt, he can redshirt this year and ultimately compete for the job down the road. Bookser is one of the four-star recruits in this class and, like I mentioned with Grimm, he's important because he plays the offensive line. Pitt recruited enough guys there last year and the year before that I think he'll probably be able to redshirt this year, but should be a potential multi-year starter down the road. Folston has an interesting football pedigree, as his father is a former Oakland Raider and his older brother is a running back for Notre Dame.
8:02 a.m. - We've just crossed the one hour mark and Pitt already has 12 of its 22 expected LOIs in and accounted for. The most recent batch included LB Quintin Wirginis, DB Jalen Williams and DL Connor Dintino. Wirginis could end up being one of the steals of this class because he missed all of his senior year due to a Lisfranc injury suffered in the offseason. I know a lot of schools were high on him before that, but backed off a bit once he got hurt. I spoke to him this week and he said he's back playing basketball for Fox Chapel, so there should be no injury concerns when he gets to Pitt this summer. Williams, at 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, will likely start off at safety for the Panthers. Dintino is listed at 6-foot-3, 295 pounds, but might still have some more room to grow, making him an intriguing prospect at the interior of the defensive line.
7:54 a.m. - The rush continues. Over the past 10 minutes, athlete Jaquan Davidson, OL Mike Grimm and DE Shane Roy have all gotten their LOIs faxed in. Davidson will likely start his Pitt career at receiver, and is among the most athletic members of this class. He actually played quarterback at Elizabeth Forward, and has some deceptive speed that could make him a nice weapon at receiver. Grimm is probably one of the biggest signings of this class, both figuratively and literally. On the literal side, he's 6-foot-6, 325 pounds. From a big-picture point of view, though, he fits in perfectly with what Chryst wants to do in building his team starting with the offensive line. There may be question marks elsewhere, but Chryst has done an excellent job at recruiting the o-line over the past few years and that should pay dividends down the road. It's a lot easier for a good offensive line to make skill position guys look good than vice versa.
7:42 a.m. - Now we're rolling. Running backs Dennis Briggs and Qadree Ollison both got their faxes in within minutes of each other and were quickly followed by North Allegheny receiver Elijah Zeise. A lot of schools were recruiting Zeise on the defensive side of the ball, but he chose Pitt partially for the opportunity to play receiver. At 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, he's still got some room to grow, and I think could end up being a nice big, physical receiver. Briggs' only other Division I offer was from Toledo, but his high school coach, former Pitt QB Dave Havern, has said that he's confident Briggs will be able to be a successful running back in big-time college football.
7:31 a.m. - Two more Letters of Intent have come across the fax machine. Tight end Brian O'Neill and offensive lineman Connor Hayes are both now officially Panthers. O'Neill is a Rivals 3-star tight end, who has a big 6-foot-6 frame that Pitt coaches hope will end up making him a nice big receiving option. Hayes is also a 3-star on Rivals out of Traverse City, Mich., and was the first member of this class to verbally commit last April.
On the local front, it looks like weather is playing a role in Pittsburgh players getting to school and getting their faxes in. With snow and ice around the region, the roads are pretty bad and lots of schools have issued delays. So far, none of the three LOIs that have come in are from in-state prospects. It's nothing to be concerned about, but might just take a little longer before all 22 LOIs are in.
7:19 a.m. - And the first letter of intent to come across the fax machine for Pitt is Staunton, Va., defensive tackle Mike Herndon. Herndon's an interesting prospect because, even though he is 6-foot-4 and 320 lbs, he played mostly middle linebacker until his senior year of high school. There are two ways to look at this. One, it might take some time for him to learn the defensive tackle position since he's relatively new to it. On the other hand, though, the fact that his coaches put him at linebacker tells me that he must move well and have good quickness for a guy his size, and those are two very important qualities for a defensive lineman.

Marketing and Loyalty

The CRM industry is shining a bright light on digital marketing, and it is a sign of how early we are in the digital marketing boom that few vendors are championing the idea of using marketing in any way other than for driving sales. Based on recent events by Oracle and Salesforce, it appears that the focus on driving more sales makes perfect sense for organizations just getting their feet wet.

The Customer Experience Tipping Point
May 2, 2016
Sometimes, it takes something drastic to change a business' behavior. Standard procedures can remain in place long after they've become detrimental, but sometimes it takes a tipping point to drive home the fact that failing to change is the surest way to fail. For example, the Ford Pinto's easily ruptured fuel tank could have been remedied with changes that ranged in price from $11 to $1.

That means a relationship in which the seller shows an understanding of the buyer's needs.

Fake Loyalty
April 13, 2016
There's an interesting connection between customer relationships in subscription businesses and loyalty, Zuora CEO Tien Tzuo wrote recently. His article had particular resonance for me, since I just wrote a book about customer loyalty myself.

Please Hold the Music
April 6, 2016

ConsumerAffairs.com is the brainchild of James R. Hood, a former Washington, D.C., journalist.
The Sales Process Starts With Retention

That is still true, according to a recent study. Forty-two percent of the firms surveyed said they were increasing their budgets for customer acquisition, while only 33 percent said the budget for retention would increase.

Periodically, a blatantly silly idea gains currency, spreading throughout society, and it has one of two effects: Either it scares the heck out of people, or they become enraptured with its seeming plausibility. Last week, The New York Times published a piece set as a dialog between two economics writers, titled, "A Future Without Jobs?" I thought it fell into the silly category.
IDC Offers Insurance Companies New CRM Vision
March 16, 2016
IDC Health Insights on Monday outlined best practices for customer engagement strategies to help health insurance companies adopt a semiretail approach to interacting with members or patients. Health insurers need an integrated customer engagement strategy enabling automated interactions, shared communications, and appropriate transaction and information transparency, IDC said.
LiveOps Launches Contact Center as a Service Platform

LiveOps Cloud on Tuesday unveiled its enterprise-level CxEngage Contact Center as a Service, or CCaaS, platform. The omnichannel open framework, which was built from the ground up, integrates with standard APIs. It essentially links applications such as CRM, workforce management and business intelligence to help agents make better customer service decisions, according to the company.
Through the CRM Lens
March 9, 2016
This is delicate and I will be scrupulously neutral in these paragraphs so as to offend no one, but I thought it would be fun to attempt an interpretation of the current political climate from the perspective and sensibilities of CRM. It will be different from any other analysis you might have come across because I do not wish to discuss candidates. I am all about the customer.
Generation Customer: Defined by Attitude, Not Age
March 7, 2016
I hate the idea of chopping our population into generations: the Greatest Generation, the baby boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, millennials and so on. The assumption is that everyone born during an arbitrarily selected time period shares certain traits. It also results in people projecting ideas -- often romantic ones -- onto huge groups of people.
Apple Geniuses Flock to Twitter
March 4, 2016
Apple on Thursday launched a Twitter channel to field support questions from users of its products, as well as to offer them tricks and tips. By Friday, the @AppleSupport account had 134,000 followers and had sent more than 3,000 tweets. Some of the tweets came from customers whose tech issues had been resolved. "I'm 99% sure my #iphone6s was just fixed from the cloud," Kate Cleveland wrote.
The Salesforce Health Cloud
March 2, 2016
Salesforce is opening a can of snakes with its new Health Cloud, which became generally available this week. Having worked in the healthcare software industry for many years in the last century, I have mixed feelings about the announcement. While I'm relieved that an innovative company is taking on healthcare software at last, part of me thinks it could be a long and expensive slog.
Mining the Customer Base
February 24, 2016
One of the biases inherent in CRM is its orientation toward new business. This might sound strange to most people, but really, I think of it as the startup echo chamber. It's a bias in part because CRM was invented by new companies for new companies. However, the "C" part, customer, involves more than simply acquiring new ones, especially for established companies.
Twitter Puts Some Eggs in Customer Service Basket
February 22, 2016
Twitter last week announced two tools designed to help businesses improve their customer service capabilities. One product would allow users to move from sending companies tweets to using Direct Messages, according to product manager Ian Cairns. Companies will be able to embed on their sites a Direct Messages link that would allow customers to send information directly.
CRM and GDP
February 17, 2016
I was gobsmacked when I read this in Robert Gordon's The Rise and Fall of American Growth: The U.S. Standard of Living Since the Civil War: "Electric light, the first reliable internal combustion engine, and wireless transmission ... were all invented within the same three-month period at the end of 1879." It's a book full of surprises emanating from an analysis of major inflection points.

Congestion in 3 week old?
Married to Jorge and Mommy to Jorge Jr. Born April 13 2009 and Isabella born December 6 2010
I'll third the humidifier, cool mist is better than warm although we use the warm at night because the cool is too freakin cold for me to want to breastfeed around.
It took Alex a couple days, at most 3, to show marked improvement once we started adding some water to the air. Now we've got the cool mist going in the large room we spend most of our time in and the warm vaporizer in our bedroom for night time. With the warm he sounds congested after a while but that goes away as soon as we're up.
~ Jessica L.
Alexander was born 12/5! �
Wanted to add a few things but it seems to contradict what some. of your drs are saying
I have a Vicks warm mist and two docs in the practice (I had Hadley there twice b/c I am so worried) told me to put the vicks IN the water. They said it won't hurt her and knock on wood so far it hasn't. Also, they told me to use the bulb syringe and drops before she naps/goes to bed, before she eats so she can breathe and any other time she seems to be struggling. There is no other way to get the gunk out so they told me don't be afraid to use it. The doctor also told me yesterday to COOL down the house. I told her I keep the house at 70 sometimes 75 and she said that is way too hot. She said during the day take it down to 65 and at night 60. She said that the cold is good for the family. The heat harbors germs (hence why hospitals are kept at these temps). She said that if I thought the baby was called to feel her "core" and if it was cool to the touch add a layer if not she is just fine. Now I was a little hesitant about this but did notice she slept better in the cooler room last night.
I want to add she has a cold (thanks to her sisters) and not just ordinary congestion, she goes back to the doctors Thursday to be sure she is not getting worse.
Lastly, I had the vaporizer for two days and haven't really seen any change in her congestion. It does help me though.

Seriously, you are NOT a bad mom. The simple fact that your worried this much about your baby being congested, and all that you've tried to do already is proof enough that you are a GOOD mom. All of you.
I wanted to add that my baby was really congested too. We normally keep him in one room, our bedroom. It's where we all sleep, and the kitchen and living room is literally only a few feet away, and we have a bathroom in the bedroom too. So we never have to move him from room to room.
So since he's in the same room all the time, we put the humidifier in the bedroom. We noticed a change in two or three days. I really do think that it helped not having to move him from room to room - he was never away from the humidifier. It worked wonders. We did the saline spray and bulb syringe thing, too. Be careful with the bulb syringe - using it too often can tear and rip the delicate skin of his nostrils. Don't use it too often. Also, I noticed that when we were using it on our son he would get REALLY fussy after sucking a couple boogies out. So we ended up using it like this:
Saline spray - one drop, in one nostril.
Suck with bulb syringe, TWICE.
Wait a few minutes.
Saline spray - one drop, in the other nostril.
Suck with bulb syringe, TWICE.
And he seemed positively content to let us suck the boogies out.
:D Good luck!!

�Step-mom to Jacob, Angela, Emily, and Sammie.
yea my son is 2 weeks and hes congested. i talked to his dr and she said it was normal but if it gets any worse give her a call. and after reading all the comments on her were going to get the humdifer.

Im not sure if Im on the same page with you as far as congestion goes. To me, congestion is phlegm either in her chest or nose with coughing, gagging, snorting and sniffling. .. Caitlin gets the snorty sniffles (can hear something in there) right after she burps. It was so bad we took her back to the nicu the day after she got out because we were scared she got rsv or something. The nurses said shes an excitable eater and gulps air, and when she burps a little goes up, and through her nose but not quite out. Most times if its not bothering her at all, and I cant see any blockage in her nose, I wont bother with it, and itll go away by the time she feeds next. If it sounds particularly nasty, or I can see something, a few bulb-suckies take care of it.
If it is just milk in the nose for your lil guys, try just a quick bulb suck..at least for Caitlin, it makes her sneeze a few times and that usually helps. :)

Natural Stone- An opulent style of decorating home
Natural stone are very durable and are in trend today. They are widely used for decorating home and commercial places.
There are varieties of natural stone like, Granite, Limestone, Slate, Porcelain etc. Each of them takes millions of years to form. They are formed under extreme pressure and temperature. After remaining in such condition for years we get them as a very beautiful stone to decorate our house. Granite has a unique gorgeous look that suites any commercial areas, like offices, multiplexes, malls etc. These Natural stone tiles encompass a look that fits exactly in to any commercial area. However, they are also preferred for living rooms where lovely ambience is required.
Similarly, natural stone tile Limestone and Slate are favored for bathrooms and kitchen area. This is due to the fact that these tiles are non-slippery as well as water-proof, making them ideal for wet areas. Moreover, Slate is thermal resistant which means it can be ideally used on the walls near burner area. But, above all Porcelain is a very suitable tile for your home. Porcelain is a type of Ceramic tile but better than Ceramic. As compared to Ceramic these tiles are much stronger due to their hard surface and dense structure. Also, there are endless designs and color combination available.
Their creative designs can be used anywhere including bathroom walls, kitchen walls, kitchen backsplash etc. So choices are infinite, all you need is to select a tile design that can suite your taste and your home interior. Unlike Ceramic, Porcelain tiles can be also used on floors as they are strong floor material. Moreover, they last long with their original charm. Using your own creative mind by combining different tiles together to get fresh designs can bring you a satisfactory interior.
Often, border tiles are taken of different designs or install totally contrast designed tile in the middle of the plain tiled wall to bring out opulent style in your home. Natural stone (http://www.tilesporcelain.co.uk/

Supplementary Information
I. Background and Authority
Title III, Part B of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), Public Law 94-163 (42 U.S.C. 6291-6309, as codified), established the Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products Other Than Automobiles, a program covering most major household appliances, which includes the residential clothes dryers that are the focus of this notice. (1) Part B includes definitions, test procedures, labeling provisions, energy conservation standards, and the authority to require information and reports from manufacturers. Further, Part B authorizes the Secretary of Energy to prescribe test procedures that are reasonably designed to produce results which measure energy efficiency, energy use, or estimated operating costs, and that are not unduly burdensome to conduct. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(3)). The test procedure for clothes dryers is contained in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix D.
DOE's regulations set forth in 10 CFR 430.27 contain provisions that enable a person to seek a waiver from the test procedure requirements for covered consumer products. A waiver will be granted by the Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (the Assistant Secretary) if it is determined that the basic model for which the petition for waiver was submitted contains one or more design characteristics that prevents testing of the basic model according to the prescribed test procedures, or if the prescribed test procedures may evaluate the basic model in a manner so unrepresentative of its true energy consumption characteristics as to provide materially inaccurate comparative data. 10 CFR 430.27(a)(1). Petitioners must include in their petition any alternate test procedures known to the petitioner evaluate the basic model in a manner representative of its energy consumption. 10 CFR430.27(b)(1)(iii). The Assistant Secretary may grant the waiver subject to conditions, including adherence to alternate test procedures. 10 CFR 430.27(l). Waivers remain in effect pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 430.27(m).
The waiver process also allows the Assistant Secretary to grant an interim waiver from test procedure requirements to manufacturers that have petitioned DOE for a waiver of such prescribed test procedures if it is determined that the applicant will experience economic hardship if the application for interim waiver is denied, if it appears likely that the petition for waiver will be granted, and/or the Assistant Secretary determines that it would be desirable for public policy reasons to grant immediate relief pending a determination on the petition for waiver. 10 CFR 430.27(a)(2); 430.27(g). An interim waiver remains in effect for a period of 180 days or until DOE issues its determination on the petition for waiver, whichever is sooner, and may be extended for an additional 180 days, if necessary. 10 CFR 430.27(h).
II. Petition for Waiver of Test Procedure
On December 28, 2009, BSH filed a petition for waiver and an application for interim waiver from the test procedure applicable to residential clothes dryers set forth in 10 CFR Part 430, Subpart B, Appendix D. BSH seeks a waiver from the applicable test procedure for its Bosch WTC82100US and Bosch WTE86300US product models because, BSH asserts, design characteristics of these models prevent testing according to the currently prescribed test procedure, as described in greater detail in the following paragraph. DOE previously granted Miele Appliance, Inc. (Miele) a waiver from test procedures for two similar condenser clothes dryer models (T1565CA and T1570C). 60 FR 9330 (Feb. 17, 1995). DOE granted Miele an interim waiver for similar additional products on February 1, 2011. (76 FR 5567). DOE also granted waivers for the same type of clothes dryer to LG Electronics (73 FR 66641, Nov. 10, 2008), Whirlpool Corporation (74 FR 66334, Dec. 15, 2009) and General Electric (75 FR 13122, Mar. 18, 2010). BSH claims that its condenser clothes dryers cannot be tested pursuant to the DOE procedure and requests that the same waiver granted to other manufacturers be granted for BSH's Bosch WTC82100US and Bosch WTE86300US models.
In support of its petition, BSH claims that the current clothes dryer test procedure applies only to vented clothes dryers because the test procedure requires the use of an exhaust restrictor on the exhaust port of the clothes dryer during testing. Because condenser clothes dryers operate by blowing air through the wet clothes, condensing the water vapor in the airstream, and pumping the collected water into either a drain line or an in-unit container, these products do not use an exhaust port like a vented dryer does. BSH plans to market a condensing clothes dryer for situations in which a conventional vented clothes dryer cannot be used, such as high-rise apartments and condominiums; the construction of these types of buildings does not permit the use of external venting.
The BSH Petition requests that DOE grant a waiver from the existing test procedure to allow the sale of two models (Bosch WTC82100US and Bosch WTE86300US) until DOE prescribes final test procedures and minimum energy conservation standards appropriate to condenser clothes dryers. Similar to the other manufacturers, BSH did not include an alternate test procedure in its petition.
III. Application for Interim Waiver
BSH also requests an interim waiver from the existing DOE test procedure for immediate relief. Under 10 CFR 430.27(b)(2) each application for interim waiver "shall demonstrate likely success of the Petition for Waiver and shall address what economic hardship and/or competitive disadvantage is likely to result absent a favorable determination on the Application for Interim Waiver." An interim waiver may be granted if it is determined that the applicant will experience economic hardship if the application for interim waiver is denied, if it appears likely that the petition for waiver will be granted, and/or the Assistant Secretary determines that it would be desirable for public policy reasons to grant immediate relief pending a determination of the petition for waiver. 10 CFR 430.27(g).
DOE has determined that BSH's application for interim waiver does not provide sufficient market, equipment price, shipments, and other manufacturer impact information to permit DOE to evaluate the economic hardship BSH might experience absent a favorable determination on its application for interim waiver. DOE understands, however, that the BSH condensing clothes dryers have a feature that prevents testing them according to the existing DOE test procedure. In addition, as stated in the previous section, DOE has previously granted waivers to Miele, LG, Whirlpool and GE for similar products. It is in the public interest to have similar products tested and rated for energy consumption on a comparable basis, where possible. Further, DOE has determined that BSH is likely to succeed on the merits of its petition for waiver and that it is desirable for policy reasons to grant immediate relief.
For the reasons stated above, DOE grants BSH's application for interim waiver from testing of its condensing clothes dryer product line. Therefore, it is ordered that:
The application for interim waiver filed by BSH is hereby granted for BSH's Bosch WTC82100US and Bosch WTE86300US condensing clothes dryers. BSH shall not be required to test its Bosch WTC82100US and Bosch WTE86300US condensing clothes dryers on the basis of the test procedure under 10 CFR part 430 subpart B, appendix D.
DOE makes decisions on waivers and interim waivers for only those models specifically set out in the petition, not future models that may or may not be manufactured by the petitioner. BSH may submit a new or amended petition for waiver and request for grant of interim waiver, as appropriate, for additional models of clothes dryers for which it seeks a waiver from the DOE test procedure. In addition, DOE notes that grant of an interim waiver or waiver does not release a petitioner from the certification requirements set forth at 10 CFR 430.62.
Further, this interim waiver is conditioned upon the presumed validity of statements, representations, and documents provided by the petitioner. DOE may revoke or modify this interim waiver at any time upon a determination that the factual basis underlying the petition for waiver is incorrect, or upon a determination that the results from the alternate test procedure are unrepresentative of the basic models' true energy consumption characteristics.
IV. Summary and Request for Comments
Through today's notice, DOE grants BSH an interim waiver from the specified portions of the test procedure applicable to BSH's Bosch WTC82100US and Bosch WTE86300US condensing clothes dryers and announces receipt of BSH's petition for waiver from those same portions of the test procedure. DOE publishes BSH's petition for waiver in its entirety pursuant to 10 CFR 430.27(b)(1)(iv). The petition contains no confidential information.
DOE solicits comments from interested parties on all aspects of the petition. Pursuant to 10 CFR 430.27(b)(1)(iv), any person submitting written comments to DOE must also send a copy of such comments to the petitioner. The contact information for the petitioner is: Dr. Uwe Mette, Director, Engineering Laundry Products, BSH Home Appliances Corporation, 5551 McFadden Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA 92649. All submissions received must include the agency name and case number for this proceeding. Submit electronic comments in WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, Portable Document Format (PDF), or text (American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII)) file format and avoid the use of special characters or any form of encryption. Wherever possible, include the electronic signature of the author. DOE does not accept telefacsimiles (faxes).
According to 10 CFR 1004.11, any person submitting information that he or she believes to be confidential and exempt by law from public disclosure should submit two copies to DOE: One copy of the document including all the information believed to be confidential, and one copy of the document with the information believed to be confidential deleted. DOE will make its own determination about the confidential status of the information and treat it according to its determination.

Re: Petition of Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver, BSH Condenser Clothes Dryers
Dear Assistant Secretary: BSH Home Appliances Corporation ("BSH") hereby submits this Petition for Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver, pursuant to 10 CFR 430.27, for its condenser clothes dryers. A waiver was granted to Miele Appliance, Inc. for the same type of product. 60 FR 9330 (Feb. 17, 1995).
BSH is the manufacturer of household appliances bearing the brand names of Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau. Its appliances include washing machines, clothes dryers, refrigerator-freezers, ovens, microwave ovens, dishwashers, and vacuum cleaners, and are sold worldwide, including in the United States. BSH's United States operations are headquartered in Huntington Beach, California. BSH's residential clothes dryers are produced in the United States and Poland.
BSH markets highly efficient, advanced-design condenser (non-vented) clothes dryers. The current BSH model numbers of these products are Bosch WTC82100US and Bosch WTE86300US. This product does not vent exhaust air to the outside as a conventional dryer does, but rather uses ambient air to cool the hot, humid air inside the appliance thereby condensing out the moisture. There is no exhaust air, only a wastewater stream that can be drained into a water container. This type of product is suited for installation conditions where exhaust venting is not practical or is cost prohibitive. It thus benefits those dwellers of high-rise apartments and others who in many cases have no way to vent to the outside or at least not without considerable remodeling/construction expense. The advantageous no-exhaust design characteristic produces a more complex drying process than the regular vented dryer.
Condenser clothes dryers offer additional utility to the consumer that affects energy consumption, and the characteristics of the product are not reflected by the test procedure. The condenser clothes dryer does not have an outside vent exhaust, and extracting the moisture from the warm moist air in the drum requires more energy to dry clothes than simply exhausting the warm moist air to the outdoors. (1)
DOE's existing test procedure for clothes dryers requires the use of an exhaust restrictor to simulate the backpressure effects of a vent tube in an installed condition. And the test procedure does not provide any definition or mention of condenser clothes dryers. Since BSH's condenser clothes dryers do not have an exhaust vent and the DOE test procedure does not provide any definition or mention of condenser clothes dryers, the products cannot be tested in accordance with the test procedure. Thus, the test procedure does not apply to them. Consequently, the DOE energy conservation standard for clothes dryers does not apply to BSH condenser dryers since the DOE standard must be "determined in accordance with test procedures prescribed under section 6293 of this title." 42 U.S.C. 6291(6).
These circumstances clearly warrant a waiver. 10 CFR 430.27 provides for waiver of DOE test procedures on the grounds that a basic model contains design characteristics that either prevent testing according to the prescribed test procedure or produce data so unrepresentative of a covered product's true energy consumption characteristics as to provide materially inaccurate comparative data. As discussed above, the BSH condenser clothes dryer contains a design characteristic—lack of an exhaust—that prevents testing according to the DOE test procedure. Further, the test procedure does not provide any definition or mention of condenser clothes dryers. A waiver should therefore be granted that provides that BSH is not required to test its condenser clothes dryers. The existing minimum energy conservation standard for clothes dryers also should not apply to these BSH condenser clothes dryers. The waiver should remain in effect until DOE prescribes final test procedures and minimum energy conservation standards appropriate to BSH's condenser clothes dryers.
That a waiver is warranted is borne out by the fact that DOE has granted a waiver to Miele for the same type of product. 60 FR 9330 (Feb. 17, 1995). DOE stated: "The Department agrees with Miele and AHAM that the condenser clothes dryer offers the consumer additional utility, and is justified to consum[e] more energy (lower energy factor) versus non-condenser clothes dryers. Furthermore, the Department believes that the existing clothes dryer test procedure is not applicable to the Miele condenser clothes dryers. This assertion is based on the fact that the existing test procedure requires the use of an exhaust restrictor and does not provide any definition or mention of condenser clothes dryers. The Department agrees with Miele that the current clothes dryer minimum energy conservation standard does not apply to Miele's condenser clothes dryers. Today's Decision and Order exempts Miele from testing its condenser clothes dryer and determining an Energy Factor. The Department is not publishing an amended test procedure for Miele at this time because there is not any reason to. The existing minimum energy conservation standard for clothes dryers is not applicable to the Miele condenserclothes dryer. Furthermore, the FTC does not have a labeling program for clothes dryers, therefore, Miele is not required to test its condenser clothes dryers."
BSH urges that the same waiver be granted to BSH as was granted to Miele for its comparable product.
Manufacturers of all other basic models marketed in the United States and known to BSH to incorporate similar design characteristics as the BSH condenser clothes dryer include Miele (models T1565CA and T1570C), Whirlpool (model WCD7500VW), LG (model DLEC733W), and GE (models DCVH480E* and DCVH485E*).
BSH is not aware of any alternative test procedure to evaluate in a manner representative of the energy consumption characteristics of the BSH condenser clothes dryers. BSH notes that DOE's February 17, 1995 decision on Miele's application indicated that Miele proposed that DOE consider adding a class for condenser clothes dryers in the then current clothes dryer rulemaking for minimum efficiency standards, along with an appropriate test procedure. DOE's decision indicated that DOE would consider adding a new product class for condenser clothes dryers in that rulemaking and would initiate a clothes dryers test procedure rulemaking to add the capability of testing condenser clothes dryers to the existing test procedure for any potential future use. To the best of BSH's knowledge, DOE has not done so.
BSH also requests immediate relief by grant of an interim waiver. Grant of an interim waiver is fully justified:
The petition for waiver is likely to be granted, as evidenced not only by its merits but also because DOE has already granted a similar waiver to Miele.
Lack of relief will impose economic hardship on BSH. BSH would be placed in an untenable situation: The product would be subject to a set of regulations that DOE already acknowledges is not applicable to such a product and cannot be complied with, while at the same time another manufacturer is allowed to operate under a waiver from such regulations.
Significant investment has already been made in BSH condensing clothes dryers. Lack of relief would not allow BSH to recoup this investment and would deny BSH anticipated sales revenue. This does not take into account significant losses in goodwill and brand acceptance.
Beyond that, since the BSH condensing clothes dryer is intended to be sold as a pair with BSH washing machines an inability to sell the clothes dryer will harm sales of the washing machine as well.
The basic purpose of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended by the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act, is to foster purchase of energy-efficient appliances, not hinder such purchases. The BSH condenser clothes dryer makes a dryer available to households where for physical, structural reasons a vented dryer could otherwise not be installed. BSH condenser clothes dryers thus offer benefits in the public interest. To encourage and foster the availability of these products is in the public interest. Standards programs should not be used as a means to block innovative, improved designs. (2) DOE's rules thus should accommodate and encourage— not act to block—such a product.
Granting the interim waiver and waiver would also eliminate a non-tariff trade barrier. In addition, grant of relief would help enhance economic development and employment, including not only BSH's operations in North Carolina, and Tennessee, but also at major national retailers and regional dealers that carry BSH products. Furthermore, continued employment creation and ongoing investments in its marketing, sales and servicing activities will be fostered by approval of the interim waiver. Conversely, denial of the requested relief would harm the company and would be anticompetitive.
We would be pleased to discuss this request with DOE and provide further information as needed.
BSH will notify all clothes dryer manufacturers of domestically marketed units known to BSH of this petition and application by letter.

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

We enjoyed this cake very much. It's easy to toss together, with a good chocolate flavor coming through in the result. Moisture level was good, cakes came out of the pans flawlessly and held up perfectly under a robe of vanilla buttercream frosting. Great basic cake that went whoooosh! Gone!
This is the same recipe I have in my "New Baking Book" by Better Homes and Gardens. I made it as a birthday cake last night in a Wilton Giant Cupcake pan. This is a very good recipe. I baked it at 325 degrees F for about an hour, and it came out moist and very chocolate-y. I frosted it with Basic Frosting. I tinted half of it green and piped it up the bottom of the "cupcake" to make it look like a cupcake liner. I also decorated the top with jumbo star sprinkles. It was a fun cake, but most important, it was very tasty. :)

All local decision makers, whether elected or appointed officials, volunteer committee members, or staff, face difficult questions about how to meet community needs for housing, public infrastructure, and economic development while also protecting sensitive natural resources. Land use conflicts are common, and in Wisconsin's wetland-rich landscape some of the most difficult cases involve wetlands.
In 2009, Wisconsin Wetlands Association (WWA) launched a program to educate local decision-makers about the public benefits of wetlands, and to help local governments better protect local wetlands. Through this work, we have significantly improved our own understanding of the challenges local governments face when administering wetland protection land use policies, and have come to recognize that local governments need better tools and resources, and much more support, for their wetland protection efforts. Click here for a summary of the wetland educational resources and technical support that is available to local governments from WWA as well as from federal and state agencies and other nonprofit organizations.
As our funding and capacity allows, WWA will make every attempt to accommodate requests from communities that would like direct assistance and support with efforts to improve local wetland protections and to address challenges associated with administering land use and wetland protection regulations. This direct assistance could include WWA staff providing one-on-one consultation on local wetland concerns, giving feedback on proposed ordinance language, presenting at or participating in board or committee meetings and hearings, and planning and delivering wetland trainings.
On these pages, you will find our Land Use and Wetlands Publication Series that includes tools and resources designed to provide basic information about how to minimize land use conflicts and improve wetland conservation at the local level. More in-depth information about wetland-friendly land use policy and planning tools is also available by clicking on the boxes at the bottom of the page.
The Land Use and Wetlands Publication Series includes the following tools and resources:

Zoning Opportunities to Improve Wetland Protection
You may also be interested in hosting and/or encouraging a Wetland Summit in your community. Wetland Summits can provide a forum to help local decision-makers directly discuss and address county-wide or regional challenges and opportunities to improving to local wetland education, restoration, and protection efforts. The Land Use and Wetlands Publication Series provide educational tools and resources that could be distributed at a local Wetland Summit.
Learn more about the Wetland Project Funding Opportunities through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' Lake Grants Program. Wetland ordinance development and educational events like Wetland Summits are just a few examples of the projects that can be funded by the WDNR Lake Grants program.

Putting Wetlands to Work for Your Community
Putting Wetlands to Work for Your Community explains the role of wetlands on the landscape and how the benefits that wetlands provide can be hindered by direct, physical disturbance, as well as by activities outside of a wetland that alter the course of water and sediments flowing through the system.
Land Use and Wetlands:How Wetlands Benefit Your Community
This excerpt from the Local Decision Makers' Guide to Wetland Conservation is a printable brochure that illustrates how wetlands contribute to the economic health, public safety, and quality of life in Wisconsin's communities.
Land Use and Wetlands:An Inventory of Wisconsin Counties' Zoning and Land Division Ordinances **Updated**
The purpose of this project was to complete a comprehensive inventory and assessment of how Wisconsin's 15 coastal counties use zoning and land division ordinances to facilitate wetland protection.
We have also completed research on the zoning ordinances of 30 non-coastal counties. Click below on the name of a county to read more on the research that has been completed on local wetland policies. Our goal is to have a zoning inventory completed for all counties.
By February 2016, local governments are required to update their shoreland zoning ordinances to comply with new requirements under Chapter NR 115 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code.
Though the new rule does not substantially change minimum standards for shoreland-wetland protection, the ordinance revision process provides an opportunity to make local land use regulations more consistent with, or even more effective than, federal and state wetlands laws.
Our recommendations are based on findings from an inventory of county wetland policies. Though the research was limited to 45 counties, the findings and recommendations derived from it have applications for tribes, counties, cities, villages and towns across the state.
This guidebook is intended to provide a variety of recommendations, and options within each recommendation, that local governments may choose to explore, adopt, and implement at their discretion.

Call for Papers
Childhoods Conference: Mapping the Landscapes of Childhood Venue: University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Date: Thursday, May 5 – Saturday, May 7, 2011
This multidisciplinary conference will engage scholars and practitioners from a wide variety of academic disciplines (including the sciences, arts, humanities, social sciences, policy studies, and education) in a consideration of the state of child studies, which has changed significantly in recent decades. Disciplines long dedicated to the study of the child, and childhood, have been recently revitalized and are engaged with the central problematic of what the child and childhood represent, including how these categories relate to others such as infant and youth. Figured in the plural, childhoods pose a significant crossroads for theoretical and empirical work on the nature of being human and development broadly construed. Various disciplines consider childhood as an experience, as a biological fact, as a social category, as an artistic and literary construct, as a category for historical and demographic analysis, as a category of personhood, and as a locus for human rights and policy interventions. Participating scholars will examine childhoods of the past, present, and future from around the world, and will present research results, policy approaches, and theoretical paradigms that are emergent in this re-engagement with the child and childhood. Bringing together divergent networks of expertise, this conference offers the opportunity for new research collaborations and the scholarly dissemination of innovative research.
Conference Format: three days of multidisciplinary panels with scholarly presentations on conference themes; poster sessions; several keynote events; practitioner sessions; and a film night.
Conference Themes and Questions: definitions and boundaries of childhood: invented or discovered?; indigenous theories and experiences of childhood; the importance of gender; the impact of globalization; the impact of changing technologies on children and childhood, and on the study of children and childhood; concepts of adolescence; vulnerability and empowerment; and health, development, disability, and risk. Proposals for papers on additional themes will also be considered.
Keynote Speakers:
• Dr. Patrizia Albanese (Co-director of the Centre for Children, Youth and Families, Ryerson University)
• Dr. Mona Gleason (Department of Educational Studies, University of British Columbia)
• Dr. Allison James (Professor of Sociology and Director of the Interdisciplinary Centre of the Social Sciences, University of Sheffield)
• Dr. Perry Nodelman (Professor Emeritus, Department of English, University of Winnipeg)
• Dr. Mavis Reimer (Canada Research Chair in the Culture of Childhood and Director of the Centre for Research in Young People's Texts and Cultures, University of Winnipeg)
• Dr. Richard Tremblay (Director, Research Unit on Children's Psychosocial Maladjustment, University of Montreal)
Submission Guidelines: For presentations, and for posters, please submit a 300 to 500 word proposal/abstract by October 1, 2010 on the conference website: www.uleth.ca/conreg/childhoods/ Proposals for organized panels that are multidisciplinary are also welcome. Please note that presentations should be a maximum of 20 minutes in length. We would especially like to encourage graduate students to contribute posters on their current research and will offer a prize for best student poster.

"The Hangover Part III"
(R, 2013, 100 minutes)
If 2011's horrible "Hangover Part II" wasn't enough of a red flag that its phenomenally successful predecessor was something of a fluke, then its even-more-horrible follow-up, "The Hangover Part III," should officially serve as the last call for the Wolfpack. Jettisoning the morning-after structure that worked extremely well once, but clearly not twice, "Part III" finds longtime buddies Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) staging an intervention for their dark horse friend Alan (Zach Galifianakis). But before Phil, Stu and Doug can get him to a facility where he can get some help, a mysterious mob kingpin named Marshall (John Goodman) has a mighty big bone to pick with them. It seems that the Wolfpack set a series of unfortunate events into motion with the outrageous Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) during their infamous bachelor party in Las Vegas a few years ago -- events that cost Marshall millions of dollars. Now it's payback time.
Extras: Deleted scenes
"The Purge"
(R, 2013, 88 minutes)
This film imagines a compromised but revitalized American future in which a yearly night of government-sanctioned lawbreaking -- murder even -- gives a brutal-minded national soul therapeutic catharsis. Or, more accurately, it conveniently rids the populace of undesirables who can't defend themselves as well as the moneyed classes. Base of operations is the gated community residence of Purge-cheerleading security system entrepreneur James Sandin (Ethan Hawke) and wife Mary (Lena Headey). Just after lockdown, James' ethics are put to the test when their 14-year-old son Charlie (Max Burkholder) lets in a homeless man (Edwin Hodge) being hunted by thrill-kill preppies in creepy masks. But it's almost astonishing how little genuine tension exists in the ensuing siege scenario. Society may willfully crumble for 12 hours in this speculative world, but so does the film's premise in a humdrum series of unlit-hallway explorations, cheap scares and violent showdowns. "The Purge" is an emptying experience.
Extras: Interviews
"Much Ado About Nothing"
(PG-13, 2013, 107 minutes)
Doing Shakespeare in non-Elizabethan costumes is a venerable notion by this point in time. Visually, the transference of the play's setting to today's Santa Monica works beautifully, with ruler Don Pedro (Reed Diamond) and Leonato (Clark Gregg), the friend and governor of Messina he visits, coming off nicely as a pair of modern politicians complete with limousines and staff photographers to record their public faces. Still, it takes a bit of getting used to to hear Shakespeare's extravagant language coming out of the mouths of characters who look like they're just back from shopping on Rodeo Drive. The heart of the story involves the romantic entanglements of two of Don Pedro's associates, close friends Benedick (Alexis Denisof) and Claudio (Fran Kranz). Claudio is the more openly romantic of the two, and no sooner does he spy Leonato's daughter Hero (Jillian Morgese) than he falls madly in love. He angers Don Pedro's villainous brother Don John (Sean Maher).
Extras: Commentary
"Get Him to the Greek"
(R, 2010, 109 minutes)
The premise here is simple: Unreliable rocker Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) has 72 hours to get from London to the Greek Theatre in L.A. for a 10-year-anniversary gig designed to recharge his career and his record label. Sean "Diddy" Combs' Sergio is in charge of the record business with Jonah Hill's Aaron Green as the innocent sent abroad to make sure Aldous makes it to L.A. Mayhem ensues. In Brand's case, looks are, if not everything, then a lot. Between the prowl and bizarre body lines that echo Mick Jagger and an introspective comic irony a la Bill Murray, Brand is seductive to watch as he vamps his way across the various stages here, both public and private, working the hair-tossing insouciant artist thing to excellent effect. But amid the laughs, and there are plenty, the actor brings an unexpected authenticity to Aldous' struggle with sobriety, fame, his parasitic parents and the loss of the love of his life, Jackie Q (Rose Byrne), who's taken their son and left.
Extras: Deleted scenes
"The Last House on the Left"
(R, 2009, 109 minutes)
The original version of "The Last House on the Left" -- the 1972 feature debut of horror master Wes Craven and a primal tour of rape, mayhem, murder and madness -- was one of those movies that was spoken about even decades later with an uncertain mix of fear and reverence. The remodeled "House" is a mundane disappointment. Where the original, which was loosely based on Ingmar Bergman's "The Virgin Spring," made quick work of setting its story in motion, the remake includes plenty of patently unnecessary back story. Dad (Tony Goldwyn) is an emergency room doctor, Mom (Monica Potter) is a ball of nerves, and their delicate daughter (Sara Paxton) is a champion swimmer. Her fast friend (Martha MacIsaac) lands them in the clutches of the crazed baddies. As leader of the gang, Garret Dillahunt exudes a controlled sleazebag intelligence that is in marked contrast to the indelible frenzy created by the original's David Hess.
Rape is the centerpiece of both films.
Extras: None
Our pick
"Cape Fear"
(R, 1991, 128 minutes)
Remember Jessica Lange's debut movie?
I'll give you a few hints: Big gorilla. New York City. Chaos.
Lange co-starred in the 1976 remake of "King Kong" and won the first of her five Golden Globe awards. The two-time Oscar winner really hasn't stopped working since, both on the big and small screens.
Lange, now 64, can be seen this week on the FX drama "American Horror Story." Season Two came out on DVD, and the third-season premiere aired Wednesday night.
Lange has been in some great movies -- "Tootsie," "Blue Sky" and "Grey Gardens" come to mind -- but I'd like to steer you toward her work as Nick Nolte's angry wife in "Cape Fear."
Sure, Robert De Niro and Nolte dominate this Martin Scorsese thriller, a remake of the Robert Mitchum-Gregory Peck classic (both Mitchum and Peck have minor roles in the remake).
But Lange sets an excellent tone, showing a family on edge as an ex-convict returns for revenge on the lawyer who botched his case.

Should Berkeley County School District students have access to their cell phones during non-instructional time?
That's what Goose Creek High Student Body President Devontae Goodwin proposed March 25 during a regular school board meeting.
Goodwin is a senior at Goose Creek with hopes of attending the University of Alabama. During the public comments section of the meeting, he asked the board to consider the issue that is "wildly important to many of our students."
According to his research, he found that more than 800 cell phone violations were recorded in 2012-2013 at his high school. He pointed to looser restrictions on phones during non-instructional times at Wando High and in Dorchester County School District Two. Devontae asked for a trial period of cell phone use in district schools.
And the school board responded.
"Mr. Goodwin, very impressive case that you just laid out," board Chairman Kent Murray said.
District Superintendent Rodney Thompson said the district is already reviewing its current policy.
"A bring-your-own device policy is being reviewed," Thompson said. "If we're going to compete globally, then we are going to have to integrate this technology."
Another student also spoke during public comments on the issue of technology. Zachory Blayor, a junior at Berkeley High, urged the board to consider keeping textbooks at a student's home and bringing electronic readers into the school for in-class use. He said that could help alleviate student back pain and stress.
According to district staff, many of the new textbooks already have e-reader versions.
