Following the Fall Line in Sun Valley
Wood River Inn • Hailey, ID
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two People in a King Room or Four People in a Double-Queen Room
- Daily Breakfast
- Use of Snowshoes
- Welcome Gift Assortment and Coupon for Sun Valley Brewery
Planning your next getaway shouldn't be an uphill battle. Reach a snowy summit and glide through fresh corduroy on this Escape to the Wood River Inn in the heart of Hailey, Idaho.
Only 2.5 hours outside of Boise, there's no need to cross state lines in search of the perfect powder. Kick up your ski boots in cushy accommodations, complete with triple-sheeted beds, premium cable television, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
Before you hit the pow pow, fill up on an avalanche of flavors—waffles, eggs, biscuits and gravy, bagels, oatmeal, juices, coffee, hot chocolate, apple cider, and more—at breakfast. Then, check out Sun Valley (only 12 miles north of the inn), where the experts can schuss down the world-class slopes of Bald Mountain and the novices can work on their turns at Dollar Mountain.
In addition to two mountains and more than 2,000 skiable acres, the area boasts a vast Nordic trail network through the Big Wood River Valley. Borrow snowshoes from the inn to explore your surroundings—including Sawtooth National Forest and Salmon-Challis National Forest—or choose from a long list of outdoor winter and springtime activities.
After your alpine adventure, snag a table for dinner at any of the nearby restaurants in Hailey. Or, stroll the four blocks to Sun Valley Brewery for a Cranky über IPA before finding a sweet spot in the inn's indoor hot tub or heated pool.
It's hard to find a freeride to Sun Valley, but this Escape comes pretty darn close.
"Wood River Inn is near the edge of Hailey's business district, so the location is very convenient but far enough away from the most active night spots. We walked the few blocks to the riverside park, excellent restaurants, and Liberty Theatre."-- TripAdvisor

AT&T Rising: Q3 Revenue In-Line, EPS Beats by a Penny
AT&T (T) this afternoon reported Q3 revenue in line with analysts' estimates and profit per share that topped consensus.
Revenue in the three months ended in September rose 2.2%, year over year, to $32.2 billion, yielding EPS of 66 cents, excluding gains from a spectrum sale and taxes.
Analysts had been modeling $32.2 billion and 65 cents.
AT&T's wireless revenue rose 5.1%, helped by 363,000 net additions in the post-paid category, and post-paid churn of 1.07%, down slightly from 1.08% a year earlier. Average revenue per user of $66.20 for post-paid was up 1.5%, year over year.
AT&T stock is up 2 cents at $35.30 in late trading.
AT&T management will host a conference call with analysts at 4:30 pm, eastern time, this evening, and you can catch the webcast of it on the company's investor relations website.

CEH exam woes
I just sat through and completed the course with New Horizons. I found the course to be hugely informative and scary enough that I was just about ready to unplug the computer from the wall when I got home. The course really opened my eyes to a world that I knew existed but had no idea how big it really was. I have now sat for the CEH and CPTS exam and scored the same on both. Namely I didn't pass. It did open my eyes to more and I discoved that the course did not cover near what it needed to for the exam. Both stressed more than just the tools or how to use them. I feel that in many ways the course offered a disservice since most people would think that a course would prepair you for the actual exam. I wish that it would have given better feed back so that I can learn where I'm weak at. Any advice would be welcome. So to rant as my first post. I'm just a little dicouraged.

He sang in several modern operas including Philip Glass' "The Fall of the House of Usher," Stephen Paulus' "The Three Hermits," Carlisle Floyd's "Susannah" and the title role in the Detroit premiere of Russian composer David Finko's "Abraham and Hannah," based on the true story of the uprising at the concentration camp at Treblinka.
His San Antonio performances include the roles of Frederick in Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance" at the Vexler Children's Theater and Jesus in "Jesus Christ Superstar" at the San Pedro Playhouse.
Burgess has sung in many oratorio and concert performances including Handel's "Messiah," Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana," Mozart's "Requiem" and J. S. Bach's "Magnificat," "Mass in G" and "The Coffee Cantata."
Waite received his bachelor of music degree from Westminster College in Pennsylvania and his master of music degree from Syracuse University.

Comments about renewal lip complex:
I have very dry lips. This formula stays on and makes my lips feel very nourished. I will re-order product.
Comments about renewal lip complex:
Love this product, one of my very favorites, would recommend to anyone.
Comments about renewal lip complex:
I heard a lot of good things about this product and decided to give it a try. I am sometime self conscious about my lips and if they are too dry or chapped. I've been using this exclusively at night to help them look softer and more healthy. I've seen great results, with less chapping, and I don't have to constantly reapply chapstick during the day. Another wonderful product I will add to my arsenal.
Comments about renewal lip complex:
I bought it one month ago, and I loved it. It makes my lips feel more smooth and hydrated.
Comments about renewal lip complex:
I bought the Aging Skin kit which included the lip compex. It's probably something I would not have purchased separately. I'm glad to have discovered it because it's the first lip product that I've found that really works! I'm a lip product junky, constantly applying balm, I even make my own. This product will be my new nighttime before bed product! Love it!
Comments about renewal lip complex:
I really like this product but am bummed at how quickly it runs out!
Comments about renewal lip complex:
This lip renewal complex makes my lips silky soft. I use it morning and night. I no longer have dry, cracked lips but soft kissable ones
Comments about renewal lip complex:
It feels great on my dry lips.
Comments about renewal lip complex:
I purchased this product and was disappointed to find it very gritty in texture. Dermalogica were great in responding to my complaint and I sent the faulty one back (at my own cost) and received a replacement one very quickly. However....the second one was even worse than the first. There were even more gritty particles. I even would it up and applied a few times to the back of my hand to check that it wasn't just the top layer of the product. This is definitely not "smoothing and moisturising". When I initially complained in store, I was pretty much told it's luck of the draw as to whether you get a smooth or gritty one. I say gritty, although Dermalogica call it 'crystallisation.' I am a massive fan of Dermalogica and only use their products in my skin care routine so very disappointed by this. I hope the quality of all products is not being compromised.

Q:Does the Lip Renewal complex have an exfoliator within it?: Hello there
4 answers
A:I also notice a slightly gritty feeling but it dissolves quickly. I love this product! I apply twice a day and it seems to be having a long-term moisturizing effect on my lips. It also seems to help my lip color stay on longer which is an added benefit.
A:If it feels gritty don't be alarmed. This product is meant to renew and restore your lips. The grit is because it is also an exfoliant. The grittiness should be minimal and blend into your lips when you apply the product. If you absolutely can't get past the gritty feeling Dermalogica offers the Climate Control Lip Treatment.
Q:Does this product have SPF? If so what factor?

China to invest €1 billion in Sweden?
An unexpected comment about a massive investment was made by China's Prime Minister Wen Jiabao during his official visit to Sweden last month. The Swedish government was not informed about the statement in advance and was very surprised, according to the news source.
Sweden's enterprise minister Annie Lööf is currently in Beijing to clarify the situation.
During Wen Jiabao's visit eleven agreements were signed between the two countries in areas such as environmental protection and energy conservation.
"We have recently intensified our cooperation in a number of areas including innovation, research and development, trade, culture and sustainable development," Sweden's Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said in a recent written interview with Xinhua.

Hey, you may remember a post from a while back asking you to command your moustache – well, today opens the 2009 World and Beard Mustache Championships.
I think everyone should get involved in this battle of the beards and moustacheii, start today, compete next year – you could be the grand winner of the 2010 World and Beard Mustache Championships.
My recommendations are to "shake up" a competition that already looks like it's been placed inside a bag of baubles and dropped off the side of a cliff. Let's face it, the people who go into that competition are nutters, most of them look like they've been hitting the gin a bit too hard. What kind of brain makes them think "Hmm, I guess if I only shaved one half of my moustache, that could give me just the kind of tactical advantage I need". And so on.
Let's fair it, these hirsute behaviours are as disturbing as they are beautiful. I, for one, would like to see a contestant with a moustache of bees. Please, please help make that dream become a reality.

Play-By-Playmate: From Swimming to Schmoozing
Jaime is a woman of extremes: from hillbilly handfishing in Oklahoma to walking the red carpet at the ESPYs in L.A. she can hold her own at both ends of the spectrum.
I'm the kind of gal that can go both ways (and no, guys, it's not what you're thinking). Whether it's classing it up on the red carpet in L.A. or getting down and dirty on the banks of the Red River in Oklahoma, I can hold my own.
So when the guys from Hillbilly Handfishin' called me out on a triple-dog dare to go noodling, I happily obliged because one, I would never back down from a triple-dog dare and two, I'm a Southern Georgia girl, born and raised, and I know a couple things about being a redneck.
Being down in the country reminded me a lot of being back home. From the moment I set foot on the four wheeler I could feel the inner me, the 14-year-old boy that is my sense of humor and fun trying to escape. Once we hit the water and were rolling around in the mud, it was over. I was a little tomboy again and up for anything.
Then we hit our first "catfish" hole. Now there are a couple things you ought to know about catfish holes. One is that they are huge. I'm 5'9" and I could fit my whole body in one. Two is that one of two things lives inside them: a catfish or a beaver. So when one of the guys stuck his foot into the hole to find out which one it was, I was surprised when a little beaver poked his head out the other side. Being the animal lover that I am, my first I thought was "Awww, look at the cute little beaver!" quickly followed by "OH MY GOD, RUN! IT'S A BEAVER!!" Word to the wise: beavers do not like being poked in the butt by humans. That little guy lost it. He started showing his butter-yellow teeth and snarling, and we all hauled ass out of the water.
After that I was a little nervous. After watching a beaver flip out, I didn't want to stick my hand into another hole…
So I stuck my foot in instead.
Now these holes are deep, so when I say I stuck my foot in, I mean my leg. My whole body was underwater, almost up to my chin. Your foot literally becomes the fishing lure and then SNAP! A catfish bites and you yank him from his hole and out of the water!
And this ain't no minnow we're talking about. We're talking about a 35-40 pound ugly-ass fish. Ugly and slimy and huge. But boy, was I proud. I forgot about all the mud and dirt and parasites living on maybe the ugliest thing I've ever seen. I was holding him, rocking him, cuddling him. I even kissed him. I was one proud mama that day.
But being a hot mess isn't the only thing I'm good at (I am particularly good at it, though). I clean up pretty well, and after last year's botched attempt to go the ESPYs, I planned this year's well in advance. With my date on my arm and six-inch heels on my feet I took the red carpet by storm and let me just say, if the ESPYs had a best-dressed award, I would have won. Me and the handsome Evan Longoria looked damn good. I mean, we put the rest of the party to shame.
My only complaint about the ESPYs, which were otherwise amazing, had to do with one award, the Best Moment in Sports Award. Candidates included Game 162 of the MLB season, a moment that will probably never happen again; Derek Jeter's 3000th hit, a rare hit if there ever was one; and the Cardinals/Rangers World Series Game Six showdown that included not one but two two-out, two-strike comebacks. And you know who won? Tebow. Tim Tebow won for a play that happens almost every week. On any given Sunday some team throws an absurd downfield pass to win in the final two minutes, but Tim Tebow's won the best sports moment of the year? Are you kidding me!? Two of those four events will probably never happen again, and amassing 3000 hits is something that comes around only every so often. So why would something that happens all the time be a more deserving moment? I don't know, but it's obvious that Tebowmania is still infecting some sports people.
Wanna see how Jaime fared against the killer catfish? Check out the video below and stay tuned for more footage from Jaime's weekend noodlin' in Oklahoma.

I hear ya red leader. That's exactly my thinking on signing Dunn long-term.
I think the front end of the contract should be small, with the latter years being backloaded. I would go for a 5 year 55 million contract with a 6th year mutual option. Then after signing him I would sign the best free agent pitcher available to shore up the rotation.

The Cubs have rapidly transitioned from one of the weakest farm systems in baseball just a couple years ago to having one of the best collections of talent in the lower level of the minors in the entire game. The 2011 draft was a big part of that transition, paired with prospect acquisitions from trades and impact international signings, the Cubs have quickly reversed their fortunes at the minor league level.
The AAA affiliate in Iowa produced some solid young players that should begin to take on larger roles at the Major League level in the coming years. Catcher Wellington Castillo had a solid debut and has taken over as the big league club's regular catcher going forward. Rafael Dolis showed flashes of potential at the big league level, even earning a cameo as the closer, but his youth showed at times and he was frustratingly inconsistent. Dolis was one of several rookies to show interesting potential out of the bullpen, being joined by Lendy Castillo and Alberto Cabrera. Brett Jackson posses the physical tools to be the most valuable asset of the group, though he had similar struggles with making contact that teammate Anthony Rizzo suffered in his debut a year earlier in San Diego. Recently acquired RHP Arodys Vizcaino (in the Paul Maholm trade with Atlanta) was a blue chip prospect before missing the 2012 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
Former first round pick Josh Vitters also reached the Friendly Confines in 2012, and in spite of his struggles there is hope that he too could become a reliable contributor.
Barring a developmental leap from Vitters and/or IF Junior Lake, Jackson and Vizcaino appear to be the only big league ready prospects in the system with much of a chance to make a difference at the Major League level. And even they have their question marks coming into 2013. Cubs fans living in the Chicagoland area will want to make a trip or two out to the western suburb of Geneva to catch a glimpse of the Cubs future in Low-A Kane County, which has a chance to be one of the most exciting clubs in all of the minors. High-A Daytona should also have an exciting squad even before the first prospect earns a promotion from Kane County. While the impact prospects in the lower minors have the potential to form a valuable nucleus to build a perennial contender around, none of them are likely to reach the Majors in the next two years.
The timeline for the building process makes it a foregone conclusion that Matt Garza's days on the north side are numbered. If he can show that he is one hundred percent healthy coming back from an elbow injury and pitches well, GM Jed Hoyer could find himself in a position of leverage to land a solid package of prospects from a contender in need of pitching. There is also an outside shot that they could recoup some value from trading Alfonso Soriano and/or Carlos Marmol, if the Cubs are willing to eat a significant portion of those contacts, a luxury the Cubs organization should easily be able to afford.
The biggest weakness in the system is left handed pitching. There is a good amount of pitching depth, but aside from Eric Jokisch the organization's pitching depth is severely right handed. Though that is an issue that can be solved when the time comes to fill in the Major League roster around the prospects who pan out and is another area where their large market revenue streams will come in handy.
Holding the second pick in the 2013 draft and owning the second highest signing bonus pool gives the Cubs the opportunity to take the next step and go from being a farm system that is on the rise, to potentially becoming one of the best in the game. There is a lot of work to be done between now and June for that to happen.
The Cubs made several changes to their scouting staff following the 2012 draft. The staff under former Scouting Director Tim Wilken (who currently serves as a Special Assistant to the President/General Manager) turned in an effort in the past two drafts that has yielded positive early returns. It is standard procedure for a new President/GM regime to bring in their own guys after their first draft. GM Jed Hoyer hired his former Scouting Director from San Diego, Jaron Madison, to assume the same position and made several other changes in the lower levels of the scouting department. It remains to be seen if the moves will be an upgrade, while the outside perception of the group is strong, the bar has been set high in the past two drafts.
2012 Draft
With new CBA rules in place, the Cubs were unable to repeat their formula for success from the 2011 draft. Though they did repeat the pattern of taking advantage of a final opportunity, as f
ree agent compensation picks are another element of the draft that has been somewhat phased out by the new CBA.
The Cubs picked up a pair of compensation picks by offering arbitration to departing Type B free agents Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Pena.
The Cubs managed to sign each of their first 20 picks, and spent $9.16 Million on the 2012 draft, which was $373,800 above their bonus pool. Only the Blue Jays exceeded their bonus pool by a greater amount. The Cubs had to shell out $280,350 in tax (75% of the $373,800 overage) as a result, a mere pittance for a large market team knee deep in rebuilding mode.
The majority of the overslot money went to sixth overall pick Albert Almora, whose $3.9 Million deal was $400,000 above slot, and ranked fifth highest of the 2012 draft. While they didn't really put all their eggs in one basket, the long term success of their 2012 efforts will be judged heavily by Almora's performance. From that standpoint the early returns are promising, as Almora homered in his first professional game before hitting a combined .321/.331/.464 in his 33 game debut.
After Almora they leaned very heavily on pitching, picking seven consecutive pitchers before infielder Stephen Bruno broke up the streak in round seven.
The Cubs targeted high school prospects in the early rounds, which was the norm amongst most organizations in 2012. Four of their first five picks were from the prep ranks, and six out of the first seven. Missouri State RHP Pierce Johnson (43rd overall) was the only college player taken in the first three rounds. Though they would reverse course in the middle rounds when they shifted to a strategy of grabbing college players who slipped a bit as a result of the early run on high school prospects. Johnson also fits this mold to an extent, as he had first round buzz throughout the spring and represented good value at pick No. 43.
Second rounder Duane Underwood has a chance to challenge Johnson as the top pitching prospect from the Cubs deep pitching haul. His stock dropped after a slow start to the spring at Pope HS (GA), but he finished the season strong and was still just 17 years old when he signed for a slightly overslot bonus of $1,050,000. Underwood has a low mileage arm as a converted outfielder who didn't begin to focus on pitching until the summer after his sophomore year, but is likely to move slowly as a result. His fastball has been up to 97 mph, though he typically works in the mid 90s and has a pair of promising secondary pitches (curveball, changeup).
Future Outlook
Much to the chagrin of fans on the north side, the Cubs are still at least a couple of years away for contending for their first World Series title since 1908. While the gains at the Major League level are likely to be incremental in the immediate future, their long term outlook is much more optimistic. It's still too early in the player development process to bank on any of the potential impact prospects reaching their ceiling, but there are enough of them that the system is likely to yield at least one or two highly valuable assets, if not more.
Their large market revenue stream and young current MLB roster should provide plenty or resources to build around prospects like Soler, Baez and Almora, but it will be difficult, if not impossible to contend until 2015 at the earliest. Whether or not the vocal fanbase and imposing local media will influence the front office's decisions could ultimately impact how much fruit the building efforts will bare. If the Baseball Operations staff shows patience with player development in the next couple of years and make sound decisions in the meantime, the Cubs have a chance to become annual contenders. It's a difficult environment to be sure, but one that President Theo Epstein is very familiar with from his tenure in Boston.
In spite of the bullish long term prospectus, it doesn't appear that the sign hanging from the Lakeview Baseball Club on Sheffield Ave will read "AC000000" in the near future.

This one is for Hostile:
They'd need to have a fleet of those things, sitting ready to go on a moment's notice, located equidistantly from his house, all around Tucson. Each delivery order he called in would need to be dealt with like a five-alarm fire equivalent. Response times would be critical.
Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! The hot better still be hot. Veggies and sauces cold. Corn tortillas better not be too sticky from sitting in foil wrapping. The first driver to arrive gets a BIG tip. All of the tacos delivered will be kept and eaten, of course, if they pass the Fresh! test. Goes without saying.
Any of this close, Hos. I'm just spitballin' here. LOL.
That is the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
"Who would win the fight crocodile or alligator?" The question was answered this way on Wiki Answers:Answer:
The Crocodile would most likely win due to the fact that crocodiles are generally more aggressive

In the second of this two-part series, we investigate the damage being done to the credibility of the international game.
The push towards professionalism with the advent of the transtasman league has come at the expense of the international game, some onlookers have warned.
With athletes dedicating more time to training and given access to greater resources than they've had before, the ANZ Championship has increased the skill level and player depth in New Zealand and Australia.
Already sitting well above the rest of the world, the fierce week-in, week-out transtasman competition has enhanced world netball's duopoly.
Silver Ferns coach Waimarama Taumaunu believes the quality of New Zealand netball has moved more in the past five years than it had in the 15 years before that.
The changes in the attitude of the players hit home to Taumaunu at the national camp earlier this year, when many members set new benchmarks with their fitness testing.
"Traditionally in New Zealand you rock up in January, and you're not really in great nick and we're a bit slow to get going, but that was not the case at all," Taumaunu says.
"There is evidence of really good preparation in the off-season and I think that has been one of the best by-products of the professional era."
Star import keen on second title
Former Silver Fern Linda Vagana, who coached Samoa from 2004-11, believes the move towards professionalism has led to diminishing competitiveness in the international game.
"The competition is great, but it's come with its losses," says Vagana. "New Zealand and Australian netball have become even more powerful, and the rest of the world is falling behind."
Netball New Zealand chief executive Raelene Castle doesn't disagree with the criticism the transtasman league has only broadened the gulf between Australasia and the rest of the world, "but we can't stay still to let the rest of the world catch up".
As a board member of the International Netball Federation (INF), Castle admits the state of the international game is a huge concern.
"The single biggest challenge facing international netball is to get six genuinely competitive teams, so at a world championship you do not know who the top four will be, and who the finalists will be."
Pacific Islands netball were especially hard hit by the arrival of the transtasman league.
The eligibility rules have acted as a deterrent for New Zealand and Australian-based players with Pacific Island roots from representing these nations, because they would be considered an import. With franchises only allowed to sign up to two ineligible players (which must be cleared by their national body first), Vagana says there have been cases where franchises have talked players out of representing Samoa as it would jeopardise their future contract.
The situation led Samoa Netball to change their selection policy a few years ago. With New Zealand-based players opting to chase professional contracts, Samoa Netball realised it could no longer rely on overseas-based players, instead focusing on developing home-grown talent and building its player pool.
As a result, Samoa have taken a slide down the world rankings, finishing 12th at the 2011 world championships in Singapore, after being sixth in the world four years earlier.
"We've lost the momentum to grow the sport globally because the ANZ Championship is now seen as the be all and end all," says Vagana.
England's historic three-test win over the Diamonds in January has given many cause for hope that there are other teams coming through to challenge the dominance of the Australasian sides. But given this was the same English team that couldn't get within 20 goals of Australia in the Quad Series three months before, it remains to be seen whether the series win represents a new dawn for England netball or just a poor tour from an understrength Diamonds team.
The transtasman league has created more of a catch-22 situation for countries like England and Jamaica.
Their star players have benefited from the opportunity to experience world-class competition week-in, week-out, and are able to take their learnings back to their national teams. But the ANZ Championship season has also been disruptive for their national programmes, prompting England coach Anna Mayes to take a hardline stance. Mayes requires her players to make themselves available for the full international season, including all training and selection camps. This approach has seen veteran players like Geva Mentor, Sonia Mkoloma and Jade Clarke spurned from the national team as they were unable to travel back to the UK to meet all the commitments.
Mentor said she would dearly love to play for England again, but she is unsure if a compromise can be reached with England Netball.
"It's a really tough one at the moment, it's a conversation I really need to have with the coaches and high performance manager," says the Melbourne Vixens defender.
"Whether there is room for me to be able to go back for periods of time, recognising that I've now got a mortgage to pay here and a job, I don't know."
Part one looked at the unreasonable demands being put on poorly paid players by their franchises, and looked at a day in the life of a fringe player.

Until very recently, I remember seeing in the ISU entrant list only 2 Chinese pairs entered with the rest as substitutes. Why it changed to 3 pairs allowed, I also don't know. There is nothing I could find in the ISU rules that would account for granting the Chinese an extra place, unless it is some obscure regulation or loophole that isn't well publicized.
The ISU should put something out there on why this was allowed. The silence from all the other federations is curious, which leads me to believe that all of them know something that we don't. I'd hate to have to go back to my default position, which is that Chinese (sports federations) will always push the rules and even cheat, if given half the chance and other people let them.
OMG!Did Sui and Han throw a 4S? That's HUGE!!!!!
Just like this pair, Sui is SO CUTE! Hope Han can be a little bit bigger and higher in the future, now seems that he's too short ( ISU says that he's only 170cm)
Hope they can hit a 4F next time as they can always give the huge throws!
Throw 4F???
It seems a matter of impossibility...Too hard from the angle of tech.
BUT it can be true now that this cute pair have brought sooooo great a surprise today!!
Sui/Han can do throw 4 flip in practise actually.
Sui/Han are absolutely adorable! I really like their expressive personality during their performances, not emotionless, all about tech.
Hope Han can grow a bit more, and Sui not out grow Han... like what happened to Z/Z.
Throw QUAD in juniors? wow! Has anyone actually done this in seniors yet, in comp? I remember Zhang and Zhang's attempt..

I am a Ph.D. student in the electro-optics program at the University of Dayton. I have been at UD for two and a half years, and feel comfortable studying and living here.
I decided to study in the USA when I was a freshman. The higher educational quality and better research capabilities attracted me to study in the USA. I decided to come to UD because the electro-optics program is strong in academic research. The quiet and beautiful small town where the school is located also attracted me.
I have made a lot of friends here at UD, and some are like family members to me. People here are all kind enough to support each other and take care of each other.
It's not an easy decision for anybody to study abroad. Choose the University of Dayton to warm you up with the light from the whole UD family.
I am from Nanjing University of Science and Technology, where I majored in electrical and computational engineering. This is my first year at the University of Dayton, and I am still excited about being able to study here.
As an engineering student, I was especially attracted to the extraordinary advanced technologies in the US. Having the chance to study these technologies is a dream to me. I was motivated to gain comprehensive knowledge and practical skills, so I applied to the master's program in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Dayton.
With top scholars and advanced facilities – including 10 specialized laboratories – students here experience great enhancement in our academic ability, and we gain both theoretical and hands-on training. This enhancement can lead to good job opportunities in the future.
It's not easy to step out the protection of our parents and face the challenge of living in a new country alone. But this is also a great opportunity for us to be stronger and better. Besides, we are never alone here. The University of Dayton is a big family who supports each other. We can find lifelong friends.
After I graduated from middle school, I decided I wanted to earn my master's degree in the United States, and I finally decided to achieve my dream. I wanted to become a successful engineer, and the United States and especially the University of Dayton became the primary choice to help me excel in this field. I am really grateful to my parents who stood by me in all my dream and endeavors; it is because of them I am here.
I chose UD because the professors are experienced and friendly. UD also provides the infrastructure and has a dedicated research institute for students to work on their projects. And UD is one of the top-ranked universities in the U.S. The campus is one of the safest and most student-friendly.
I had the same jitters every other international student has when they leave their country for higher education. But the fears were gone within a matter of days, and ever since then I feel like I am at my home. The students and faculty always have a smile on their face, which brightens the day and helps to get rid of any stress. I participate the international club events and other campus events, which helped me make lot of friends. My stay in the U.S. is an unforgettable one.
My on-campus job is another addition to the long list of things I love about UD. I get to meet new people every single day, and the job is interesting and challenging. The friends I have and the campus events are what I love the most about UD. The biggest surprise for me was that in short time I made so many friends, and I will never ever regret my decision to join UD. I will remain a Flyer forever.

2010 Law & Lawyers Report
Bruce W. Radford is publisher of Public Utilities Fortnightly .
2010 Law & Lawyers Report
1. Private Bargaining vs. Public Interest
High Court expands Mobile-Sierra Doctrine, putting "stability" and "certainty" ahead of ratepayer rights.
In a decision issued in January, in the case of NRG Power Marketing LLC v. Maine PUC, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in essence that ordinary ratepayers, represented by state attorneys general and regulatory advocates, can't avail themselves of the "just and reasonable" principle to overturn a utility rate contract they didn't agree to, but which instead was put together by numerous other utilities, stakeholders, and energy trading wheeler-dealers—thus showing just how far today's policymaking has strayed from the power-to-the-people ethic embodied in the original, depression-era Federal Power Act.
The case involved New England's Forward Capacity Market, born of a settlement agreement OK'd by FERC in 2006 as an alternative to the highly contentious LICAP construct first proposed by ISO New England. Of 115 negotiating parties, eight refused to go along. But the Supreme Court ruled in effect that the Mobile-Sierra doctrine barred any challenge from the eight dissenters.
That's the rule, created in 1956, that says that when opposing parties agree on a rate contract, it stamps the rate as "just and reasonable," so neither can escape its own improvident bargain at a later date—not unless FERC finds the rate so contrary to the public interest (worse than "unjust") that it could put the buyer or seller out of business, thus harming the public.
When the FERC order first came up on appeal, in 2008, the D.C. Circuit had sent it back. "It goes without saying," the court wrote, "that a contract cannot bind a nonparty."
But the high court differed, voting eight-to-one that non-contracting parties must honor the contract rate (the settlement, in this case) in the interests of stability and certainty.
Yet the story might not end here. In remanding the appeal back to the D.C. Circuit, the high court said it passed no judgment on whether the FCM settlement should even qualify as a contract rate. In fact, the FERC order didn't so much approve a rate as it did a market structure; the actual rate—the price of wholesale capacity—is set by bidding through a descending clock auction. Whether FERC should treat the capacity market settlement as analogous to a rate contract, said the high court, is a question that remains open. (U.S. No. 08-674, decided Jan. 13, 2010, published at 130 Sup.Ct. 693.)
2. Negawatts = Megawatts?
FERC's bid to pay full price for demand response splits the power industry and the commission itself.
For a number of years now, the FERC—and especially the current chairman, Jon Wellinghoff—has sought to boost the role of demand response (DR) in wholesale power markets, both to aid energy efficiency and to bring power prices down. In 2007 Wellinghoff chided colleagues for "mischaracterizing" market-based payments to DR providers as "subsidies." And at a conference the following year he argued that quick-ramping DR could help integrate intermittent wind resources in the Midwest.
But Wellinghoff literally

I see Carolina as the dark horse. Earlier I thought she was an OGM contender. Now that seems difficult, but a silver or bronze is within her reach. She was clearly rusty at the Euros, having dealt with an injury recently. I think in the Olympics she will look much stronger. She will need all her jumps though to win the medal. The field is very competitive, with experienced and younger skaters.
Carolina is always way over-scored IMO. I don't get her appeal other than her amazing speed and flow across the ice. She buckles under pressure and doesn't have the technical ability of the others in the field. I like her skating because she is unique (tall, gangly) but I just don't think her skating is worthy of an Olympic or World Medal. It's just my opinion.


text: I tied my first two quilts (30 ys apart!), then learned to machine quilt on my DM. When I got older and had trouble getting down on the kitchen floor to pin them, I got my Voyager 17/ Hinterberg Stretch Frame. I've never sent out a quilt. Like several of the others have said, I just want to do them from start to finish. I love the whole process, except the binding....I think binding is boring, LOL!

This Friday is opening night for the Community Playhouse of Lancaster County's production of the Disney musical "101 Dalmatians Kids."
The first performance of the six-show run is 7:30 p.m. at the Barr Street Auditorium, 610 E Meeting St., Lancaster.
The childhood classic is about the rescue of Dalmatian puppies from Cruella de Vil and her henchmen, who want to use the puppies for a new fur coat.

Dozens of vendors and an expected crowd of 20,000 will cram the streets of Pageland this Friday and Saturday for the 65th-annual Pageland Watermelon Festival.
The festival has built a following across the South, filling the small downtown with shoppers, eaters, runners, parade-watchers and concert-goers.

Peaches, strawberries, squash and other local produce will go on sale June 4 at the Lancaster Farmers Market, and market manager Mike Barnes hopes people take advantage of the great prices and produce.
I love to read those great stories in the Bible of adventure, intrigue and excitement. Stories that trace the steps of people who lived life to the fullest, facing insurmountable odds and overwhelming obstacles.
Their stories have been saved for future generations to read, enjoy and learn. What am I supposed to learn from the story of Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Peter, Paul, Jesus or countless others?
Organizers of the Vivian Major Robinson Concerts have another musical treat in store for the Lancaster community. Sunday's performance by Duke University's Ciompi Quartet at the Cultural Arts Center features composers covering the musical spectrum from Romantic to Modern.
The Lancaster audience will recognize familiar composers Franz Schubert, Claude Debussy, and George Gershwin, and be introduced to the lesser-known early 20th century Austrian composer Anton Webern. Webern was a pioneer in the use of the 12-tone musical technique.
Amanda Harris
For The Lancaster News
Colorful costumes, unique characters, music and choreography bring a classic story to life right in Lancaster this weekend.
The Community Playhouse of Lancaster County is taking on its most challenging production yet, "CATS," one of the longest running shows on Broadway. The musical is based on the Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Elliot and composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
One day I was having lunch at Douglas Presbyterian Church with one of my favorite groups, called "The 3rd Wednesday Get Together Group." It's comprised of men and women enjoying a culinary delight together and socializing and sharing the wonderful goodness of God through our personal stories.
You know that feeling when you're driving down the road, scrolling aimlessly through the radio dial, when you come across a favorite song that instantly transports you to another time?
It happens to me every day.
In fact, it was just a few days ago that I was driving in my trusty Subaru down U.S. 521, enjoying the warm weather with the sunroof wide open, when I landed on one of those radio stations that play "the best music from the '80s, '90s, and today!"
Lancaster-native Don Dixon and his wife, singer-songwriter Marti Jones, will perform this weekend in Rock Hill, their first show this close to his hometown in several years.
The performance, presented by the Arts Council of York County, is 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Community Performance Center, 249 E. Main St.
"We play in Charlotte occasionally," Dixon said Tuesday, "but this is our first time back in a while."
He called their acoustic music "what a lot of people would call Americana these days."
The Lancaster County Elementary Honors Choir, featuring fifth-grade students under the direction of Kathy Clark, performed Tuesday night at Bundy Auditorium at the University of South Carolina Lancaster. Here are some scenes from the performance. The entire performance will air on LearnTV at 9 a.m., noon, 3, 6 and 9 p.m. next Friday. The Middle School Honors Choir will air the same day at 10 a.m., 1, 4, 7 and 10 p.m. Look for the full LearnTV schedule in Sunday's edition.

Cabaret Culture: Discovering Montmartre
When Lautrec discovered Montmarte he found not only a new and exciting repository of subject-matter, but also a way of life. Montmartre had become popular with artists as a cheap place to live and work, and provided a fascinating subject for Lautrec – he had found his 'promised land'.
The artist's great contribution to nineteenth century French art was his choice of subjects from popular culture and the infamous nightspots of Paris. His subjects performed in a world where the distinctions were blurred between entertainer and spectator, the working class and the aristocracy; and in the case of Lautrec's own work between high and low art.
The characters depicted by Lautrec were the inhabitants of the Parisian demi-monde. Aristide Bruant, the singer songwriter and impresario, La Goulue the Moulin Rouge dancer of the lewd chahut, Yvette Guilbert, who sang the haunting songs of desperate people, and Jane Avril, with her ethereal dynamic dancing: all thrilled audiences with their performances and enthralled Lautrec.
Though he was to struggle with poor health, Lautrec remained a prodigious artist as well as a dominating figure in the French art world. He was a well educated, widely known and much loved character with a lively wit and entertaining personality. In the words of Jules Renard, a friend and collaborator from Lautrec's La Revue blanche days: 'The more one sees him … the taller he grows'.

[quote user="PatPatson"]GMen869007,
"if i was a NE fan i'd be scared and looking for excuses too tho so don't worry bout it"
That's what had to do with 4 years ago. Since that lucky duke, you and your breathren have been acting all tough and perfect.
Sass from trash won't be tolerated, and you can't use living in NYC as an excuse.
Plaxico Burress predicted the Patriots would only score 14 points, and then Brady (who had 3 rings prior--show a little respect?) shot back and scoffed at that arrogance, Burress got mad like a little *****.
And so did the rest of you.
And it's ludicrous that a guy like Burress who can wear sweatpants at a strip club and let his concealed weapon go off and shot himself not long after that "brilliant victory in the desert" can strut around like he's the greatest player ever.
Yes, the Giants did win in Foxborough, by 4 points. That's called semantics. The Patriots beat the Giants in a regular season game sometime in the 90s. By your logic they should have won 4 years ago too.
Good for David Tyree, but being the answer to a trivia question isn't the most noble of reputations.[/quote]
this guys a walking double standard. the giants won in foxboro 4 yrs ago and he claims thats irrelevant but then says our win in 07 SB was luck...
what gives with this guy? he's so worried he can't think straight.
and did you really say that if you guys were to win tmrw it'd be revenge for 07 and our loss would be as bad as the pats loss back then?
are u serious? we're a 9-7 team whose had more injuries than any other team besides the lions who went 0-16. we've made it to the SB on the backs of a few players.
we're young, regardless of win or lose tmrw, giants are gonna be a legit contender for a while.
the dynasty starts tmrew and this time we dont got a guy on our roster to shoot it all away ltierally.
giants have the better team, i can understand all these pats fans looking for any sort of excuse and reasoning for a loss.

Senate Bill 3074, introduced in the U. S. Senate on June 16, 2016, would, if enacted, authorize the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to establish a climate change education program.
NCSE's archives house a unique trove of material on the creationism/evolution controversy, and we regard it as part of our mission to preserve it for posterity — as well as for occasions such as Kitzmiller v. Dover, where NCSE's archives helped to establish the creationist antecedents of the "intelligent design" movement. And we are beginning to amass a similar trove of material on disputes over climate change education.
A milestone: there are now over 170,000 fans of NCSE's Facebook page. Why not join them, by visiting the page and becoming a fan by clicking on the "Like" box by NCSE's name?
Here are some tips for appearing at school board meetings.
Although most of the battle against creationism has focused on the political and legal battles over textbooks and curriculum development, it is important to remember that public opinion plays a major role in determining the material actually taught in biology classrooms. One inexpensive and effective way to educate the public on the nature of science in general, and evolution in particular, is through the editorial pages. Letters to the editor are widely read, and fundamentalists have long used letter campaigns to push their agenda.

For Germany our scientists said that they didn't find this kind of nosema in dead hives/bees.
For Germany our scientists said that they didn't find this kind of nosema in dead hives/bees.
so it is yes in spain and no in germany?
I understand they were looking at Bt contamination in germany? any news from your side of the pond on this possibility?
This is the 1st I've heard of any potential problems with using Bt in beehives. Has anyone heard any cautions about using Bt to control wax moths in supers? I'm about to treat all my empty supers with Bt and I'd sure like to know if anyone has heard anything. I'll be using the Bt aizawai powder that is advertised in the For Sale section here on Beesource.
You cannot move a grain of sand upon the beach that you do not effect the entire universe.
beemeister sezs:
This is the 1st I've heard of any potential problems with using Bt in beehives.
tecumseh replies:
well beemeister rather than the product itself (which I understand is sprayed on combs and I think was at one time sold under the trade name certaan-sp?), the unlikely suspect in this case is a gene attached to any number of crops and questions have arisen about possible contamination to the bees from these crops pollen and nectar. so the hypothesized route would be somewhat different-direct contact by adults vs feeding to the larvae.
I had heard, via a customer-genetic professor, that there was some concern in germany since rapeseed was one of the first crops where Bt was spliced into the plants genome. it is my understanding that any number of other crops have now had the Bt gene spliced onto their genome...cotton, corn...
in regards to using Bt as a wax worm preventative (studies suggest it is not totally effective) I would really not loose much sleep over contamination when using it directly on the comb.
Thanks Tecumseh for the information. Now that you mention it, I had heard about the gene splicing. It's been discussed here on Beesource! My memory just needed a little prompting.
Thanks again.
You cannot move a grain of sand upon the beach that you do not effect the entire universe.
Tecumseh . . .
>using Bt as a wax worm preventative (studies suggest it is not totally effective) . . .
May I ask, WHAT STUDIES?
dave w ask:
May I ask, WHAT STUDIES?
tecumseh replies:
in one of the old bee magazines (that I obtained from odfrank) they compared certan (I think that is Bt, but most definitely correct me if I am wrong here dave) with gas (ethylene something-which I think is now banned) and moth crystal (can't recall the chemical name). anyway the time frame was at about the time when certan was first introduced for the purpose of wax moth treatment. when they compared the three treatments the certan treated frames developed a minor amount of wax damage. not severe, but clearly not 100 percent effective. they had some (in that era all black and white and on many occasion not so crisp) photos comparing the treatments. The damage was not so extensive that if I did use Bt I don't think I would have been persuaded to not use the product.
for myself the best and cheapest wax moth control is keeping supers on robust hives until after the moth season.
>correct me if I am wrong . . .
Thats not what I was trying to do, but thanx for the info
Oh, Ethylene dibromide (EDB) was reported by H. M. Krebs (1957) to be highly effective. Kills the eggs as well as adults and larvae. Was once an approved fumigant; now a hazardous chemical.
Dr. Mussen has a little info about bt on page 6 of this news letter.

Lord.....I hope the Giants are watching this Rutgers game....what I see is a very determined and focused team...or KSU could just be really crappy.....
That would be nice if they are. Maybe they can learn a thing or two about what it means to be a team. And I see that the Knicks are FINALLY turning it around. Nice win last night.
