Oaklawn Park: Van Dyke returns home to ride in Fantasy
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – The Southern California-based apprentice Drayden Van Dyke traveled to his hometown of Hot Springs, Ark., last month and came within a length of winning his first graded stakes race when he guided Please Explain to a third-place finish in the Honeybee at Oaklawn. He returns to the track Saturday to again team with the filly in the Grade 3, $400,000 Fantasy.
Please Explain was one of eight entered Wednesday in the 1 1/16-mile race for 3-year-old fillies that is led by Grade 2 winner Stopchargingmaria. The Fantasy opens the annual Racing Festival of the South, a series of nine stakes run over the final week of the meet that ends April 12. The Fantasy also is a steppingstone to the Kentucky Oaks, and the first four finishers Saturday will earn preference points for the classic on a sliding scale of 100-40-20-10.
Van Dyke, a 19-year-old born in Kentucky and raised in Arkansas, has established himself as one of the nation's more promising apprentices since launching his career last November. He's not only riding on the tough Southern California circuit, but on Tuesday at Turf Paradise, he had a three-bagger, among his wins the opener with the $22 horse Senate Rules. Last month's visit to Oaklawn was special for Van Dyke, a graduate of the local Lake Hamilton High School.
"It was cool," Van Dyke said. "It was my first time coming back home as an actual jockey. It was cool to see all my friends and to see them rooting me on."
Please Explain put in a determined bid through the stretch in the Honeybee, a race in which she had a tough trip, said Van Dyke. For the Fantasy, the pair will break from post 6.
"She comes from out of it," Van Dyke said. "I had to squeeze up the rail the whole time last time, didn't have the perfect trip. The main winner, who got taken down, actually swerved in front of me. It was just a troubled trip throughout, and hopefully we'll get a better one this time around."
Van Dyke's father, Seth, is a retired jockey who continues to work in racing, said Sarah Wolfe, who is Drayden Van Dyke's agent. Wolfe has been at Oaklawn working to secure additional mounts for Van Dyke on the Fantasy undercard and has lined up runners in the second and 10th races. Van Dyke rides Please Explain for Niall Racing and trainer Tom Proctor, who gave Van Dyke his break by letting him exercise horses at Glen Hill Farm in Ocala, Fla.
The Fantasy field, from the rail out with riders, is Sugar Shock, Channing Hill; Haveyougoneaway, Jareth Loveberry; Euphrosyne, Ricardo Santana Jr.; Mufajaah, Joe Johnson; Kiss Moon, Terry Thompson; Please Explain; Stopchargingmaria, Ramon Vazquez; and Courageous Julie, Jon Court.
Kiss Moon will add blinkers for trainer David Vance.
I think he looks like Mcarron
Good when he can let one roll from the outside, but he still has to learn how to ride from the pocket. Other riders can keep him bottled up down on the rail
Drayden, is the best guy in the world.
Back in mid summer I was cursing this kid. His turf rides were terrible and and he just wasn't looking too hot. Fast forward to January and this guy looks like Nakatani down the hill and you have to consider him on just about every mount. This kid can ride and really gets his mounts to relax.
This young man's style reminds me of Pat Day.....can't go wrong with that.
This kid is going places.
Don't leave him out of bets. Rider is on fire the last little while. Keep it up!!!

Definition of megalopolis
1 : a very large city
2 : a thickly populated region centering in a metropolis or embracing several metropolises
megalopolitanplay \-lō-ˈpä-lə-tən\ noun or adjective
Examples of megalopolis in a Sentence
what was once a series of discrete towns interspersed with countryside is now one vast megalopolis
Did You Know?
A "large city" named Megalopolis was founded in Greece in 371 B.C. to help defend the region called Arcadia against the city-state of Sparta. Though a stadium seating 20,000 was built there, indicating the city's impressive size for its time, Megalopolis today has only about 5,000 people. Social scientists now identify 10 megalopolises in the U.S., each with more than 10 million people. The one on the eastern seaboard that stretches from Boston to Washington, D.C., where the densely populated cities seem to flow into each other all along the coast, is now home to over 50 million people. But it's easily surpassed by the Japanese megalopolis that includes Tokyo, with more than 80 million inhabitants.

Holiday Presents For Sales Leaders -- DeWese
Seasons Greetings to all you readers, regardless of your persuasions! Whether you celebrate Kwanzaa, Chanukah, Christmas or nothing, we all need to experience some end-of-the-year peace and happiness.
I need a break from all of this Great American Print Sales Prospecting Contest bookkeeping. Hundreds of salespeople are out there generating new accounts and it looks like I have to break down and buy a calculator to keep up with their success. It's not too late to get your company involved and win the fabulous prizes being offered to the top performing contestants.
The National Association of Printing Leadership, NAPL, has signed on as a sponsor and they've come up with some great new prizes for the four winning companies and the winning salespeople. I appreciate the NAPL's generosity. You can read about the contest rules at the bottom of my column.
A lot of the entrants have been calling and e-mailing me for the results. I promise I will publish the frontrunners' tallies in the January column. I'm amazed that some salespeople are earning so many new accounts in this weak economy.
There's a lot of gift giving this time of year, so the rest of this column is my gift to you. You are gonna love this!
Holiday in the Big Apple
Sit back and get ready for a great trip. I'm flying all, yep all, you readers to New York for dinner, entertainment and awards at the Waldorf and the Plaza. Neither hotel could accommodate all my readers. Naturally, you will all be staying at the hotel where you will dine. Unfortunately, the hotels only have 288 suites, so some of you will have to stay in regular rooms.
Our Executive Chefs for dinner will be two of my favorite TV personalities, Emeril at the Waldorf and Georges Perrier at the Plaza. They have recruited the best chefs from America's finest five-star restaurants, including some from the Four Seasons in New York and Le Bec Fin in Philadelphia. I'm picking up the tab for this feast and Emeril and Georges won't even tell me the menu. I've heard them whispering about things like Japanese hand-rubbed beef at $200 per pound. Don't worry, though; I'm so conscious of being politically correct that we'll have beef, succulents from the sea and vegetarian menus.

Avista offers broader picture of political activity
Post by
Anna Scarlett
Avista is disappointed in the article that ran in today's Spokesman-Review titled
"Avista gives cash to oust two North Idaho incumbents,"
regarding Idaho legislators and our contribution to political campaigns in Idaho. We believe the article is misleading, and want to set the record straight about our intent and practice of engaging in policy discussions and issues on behalf of our customers and communities.
Public policy participation
Avista actively participates in local, state and national legislative and governmental activities. We work to develop relationships with elected and appointed office holders in order to understand the complexities of public policy affecting our company and be at the table on behalf of our customers and communities.
"It is appropriate and responsible for the company, through shareholder dollars and the employee-funded political action committee, to make political contributions as part of a comprehensive government relations program. Customers' rate dollars do not fund these activities," said Avista Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Scott Morris.
"As an energy company, Avista and our customers, communities, employees and shareholders are affected by the decisions made by federal, state and local officials," Morris said. "It is essential that we have a voice in the public policy arena and that we participate in the process for the benefit of all our stakeholders."
Avista has supported many bipartisan and partisan efforts with clear benefits to our customers and communities. These include:
• Recent passage of SB5575, which will allow
power from Avista's Kettle Falls Biomass plant
to qualify as renewable under Washington State Renewable Portfolio Mandates. Passage of this bill will help preserve rural jobs and is expected to save electric customers hundreds of millions of dollars in unnecessary capital spending on new renewable energy resources.
• Washington State University Spokane's
Biomedical and Health Sciences Building on the Riverpoint campus
, which broke ground in fall 2011 and will provide long-term economic benefits to our region as part of the comprehensive Academic Health Science Center project.
• Washington HB 1489, signed in 2011, which bans phosphorus in lawn fertilizers. Avista worked with a coalition of business, agriculture and environmental groups to help find an approach to reduce phosphorous loading into Washington lakes and rivers, improving water quality.
• Legislation to create in Pierce, Idaho, the National Guard Youth Challenge Program, a multi-phase youth intervention program intended to improve the education, life skills and employment potential of enrolled high school students in the state of Idaho. (HB 662, 2012)
• Community investments made through corporate and Avista Foundation giving (not included in customer rates). Avista Corp. and Avista Foundation donations and grants in Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon totaled $1.47 million in 2011.
Political contributions
Avista has a long history of supporting both Democrats and Republicans for election.
Avista is legally prohibited from contributing directly to political candidates for elected federal offices. In 2011, we contributed $75,770 in the states where we serve customers and where such contributions are allowed.
In Idaho in 2012, Avista has made a total of $20,250 in direct contributions to 37 candidates in 24 of the state's 35 legislative districts. Each of these are limited to a total of $1,000 or less per candidate per election. In Washington, direct contributions to candidates total $3,450 in 2012, and in Oregon direct contributions to candidates total $5,500 in 2012. Our contributions support incumbents, challengers, and new candidates who are running for open seats. Separate contributions to political action committees in Idaho and Oregon in 2012 totaled $20,000 and $1,500 respectively.
Avista also has a voluntary, non-partisan committee for non-craft-member employees called the Avista Employees for Effective Government political action committee. Through the Avista Employee PAC, our employees have contributed $5,640 to federal candidates and political organizations in 2012.

Avista's renovations in Riverfront Park create temporary detours
Avista is working to improve paths and viewing points along the Spokane River
Post by
Sarah Richards
Pedestrians can still access the suspension bridge to
get some great views of the Spokane River, however
the south entrance of the bridge near the Upper Falls
powerhouse will be closed for construction.
Later this summer, Riverfront Park visitors will also
have a new east-facing viewing platform to take in
the beautiful Spokane River.
The footbridge near the viewing platform will be open
to pedestrians during Memorial Day weekend.
Beginning this week, Riverfront Park visitors in downtown Spokane will be detoured away from the south end of the suspension bridge by Avista's Upper Falls Dam powerhouse.
For the next four weeks, Avista is working on a project to improve the deteriorated asphalt roadway and powerhouse parking area. The asphalt roadway will be repaved with asphalt, concrete will be installed in front of the powerhouse, and reinforced turf and porous pavers and grass will be installed in this area. These improvements will improve access to the powerhouse and will make for an easier, safer trek for pedestrians crossing the bridge.
You can still enjoy the great views on the bridge by accessing it from the north side of Canada Island; you just can't cross the bridge on the south end until the work is complete. The nearest river crossing in the park is Howard Street Bridge, just east of the suspension bridge by the Upper Falls Powerhouse. Signs will be posted to redirect park users.
Safety is a top priority at Avista. During our project, you may see workers, cranes, and other construction equipment in the area. For your safety, please obey posted signs and stay out of fenced-off areas.
New viewing platform
Later this summer, Riverfront Park visitors will also have a new east-facing viewing platform to take in the beautiful Spokane River. Avista constructed the viewing platform last fall so we could access the Upper Falls Dam for maintenance and upgrades. This spring, we're working on the east end of Havermale Island to complete paving of the area. Spokane City Parks and Recreation will take it from there to put in plants and vegetation.
The footbridge near the viewing platform will be open to pedestrians during Memorial Day weekend.
The work we're doing will improve pedestrian access and aesthetics at Riverfront Park.

Avista begins replacing natural gas pipe in Davenport
Post by
Laurine Jue
Avista is replacing nearly 9 miles of natural gas
pipeline in Davenport, Wash. The project is
estimated to cost more than $3 million. The
work will be conducted May to October.
Bring in the diggers and heavy equipment because construction is underway in Davenport, Wash., as Avista replaces nearly 9 miles of natural gas pipeline that's approaching the end of its service life. The project carries a price tag of more than $3 million. It's part of Avista's commitment to maintain and upgrade our natural gas pipeline system.
From May through October, Avista-authorized contractor Loy Clark will be installing new natural gas pipelines in streets and alleys throughout Davenport.
As we replace the natural gas pipeline one section at a time, Davenport natural gas customers will experience a short interruption of service while we're working on the natural gas pipeline in a specific area. Customers will be notified two days in advance of working in their neighborhood so they can plan ahead. Once the work is complete and service is restored, qualified Avista personnel or contractors will safely relight appliances, such as water heaters.
Attendance was light when we held an open house at the Davenport Memorial Hall on Wednesday, May 2, to answer questions about the project. Hopefully that means that folks in Davenport are comfortable with the project.
This six-month, $3 million project is just one example of how Avista must continually invest in maintaining and upgrading the natural gas pipelines that allow us to serve our customers.

Pullman Smart Grid study: energy information at customers' fingertips
Post By
Laurine Jue
Thanks to new Smart Grid technology, approximately 6,500 Pullman customers can now access their real-time energy usage simply by logging onto their "My Avista" account. It's the latest milestone in Avista's Smart Grid Demonstration Project that's underway in Pullman.
Avista has joined with regional partners, led by Battelle, to develop a smart grid demonstration project using matching stimulus funds from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The intent of the demonstration project is to show how smart grid technology can enhance the safety, reliability and efficiency of energy delivery on a regional and national level.
The past two years have been spent designing, constructing and installing complex technology, including advanced meters, in the Pullman area that create the foundation for secure, two-way, wireless communication between customer meters and Avista.
As part of the demonstration project, Avista recently started a one-year study designed to test whether access to energy usage information has any potential impact on peoples' behavior.
Approximately 6,500 randomly-selected customers in the Pullman area were given access to a special advanced meter web portal that lets them view their energy usage down to the hour, make adjustments and start saving energy based on their energy choices and behavior. They can see charts and graphs that track changes or trends and make more informed decisions about how to use energy.
The remaining customers in the Pullman area will not have access to the special Advanced Meter Web Portal until April 2013 when the study period concludes.
Studies like this are helping Avista learn how new technologies can enhance the safety, reliability and efficiency of energy delivery for all of our customers.

First Wind breaks ground on Palouse Wind farm
event photos
Post by
Dan Kolbet
Today First Wind officially broke ground on Palouse Wind, a wind farm near the town of Oakesdale off of State Route 195. Last year Avista signed a 30-year power purchase agreement for the renewable wind power that will be generated at the site once it's completed later this year.
The wind farm is expected be the largest renewable energy facility in Whitman County with 58 turbines and the capacity to generate enough clean, renewable energy to power about 30,000 of Avista's customers' homes.
The power we get from Palouse Wind will be part of a diverse, responsible energy portfolio that includes renewable resources generated right here in eastern Washington. In addition, the project is helping Avista invest in our infrastructure through the transmission upgrades we're making so we can connect the power to our system. Palouse Wind will help Avista meet its goal of providing reliable energy to our customers at a reasonable cost, while meeting renewable portfolio standards in Washington.
The groundbreaking ceremony included speakers from Avista, First Wind, Vestas, as well as several elected officials from Whitman County and the surrounding area who discussed the benefits of the project to the area's economy, the surrounding communities and Avista's customers.
The event was held at the future site of the project's substation, a leveled section of land among the rolling hills that dot the landscape.
The turbines and their massive blades are not up yet, but will be shipped from Colorado to Washington by train and then transferred by trucks to the site, where they'll be erected this summer. It should be a site to see. When the turbines go up, we'll update the blog.

Northern California - June 3, 2013
This report covers conditions and observations made between Monday, April 29 and Sunday, June 2, 2013. The next report is scheduled for Monday, July 1, 2013. However, in the event of any significant occurrences prior to that date, this site will be updated as soon as possible.
This report's photos for the northern region present the crop set of the Nonpareil and Fritz in the Arbuckle area of Colusa County, followed by an orchard under irrigation in the Chico area of Butte County.
Mild temperatures dominated the weather in the Sacramento Valley during May, but were accompanied by brisk winds that hindered some orchard activities and offset any water savings provided by the cooler conditions. Maximum temperatures peaked early in the period and at mid-month when readings reached into the upper 80's and lower 90's. However, highest temperatures were reported in the periods closing days when readings rose above 100 degrees in the warmest locations. Meanwhile, coolest days during the period reached only into the upper 60's and lower 70's under the influence of two cut-off low pressure systems that spread scattered showers across the region dropping from a few hundredths to as much as 0.2 inch of rain. Morning minimum readings were a bit more stable during the month, ranging predominately between the upper 40's and lower 60's.
Winds continued to play a dominant role in the region's weather with speeds reaching into the teens and twenties on many days, even during the warmer days of the month. In addition to increasing water needs, the winds also interrupted some orchard operations that require calmer conditions.
Irrigation played a dominant role in the grower's activities during May as they worked to support the developing crop. Observers have noted that nuts of all but the latest varieties are now fully solidified and have reached their maximum weight. While the drying winds reduced the threat of fungal infection, growers were forced to deal with increased water consumption, drawing on the already tight water supplies needed to get them through the growing season. Observers also noted some degree of branch breakage in the more heavily laden orchards as a result of the winds.
Leaf-Footed Plant Bug, LFPB made its presence known in the Sacramento Valley, though not to the same extent as in the San Joaquin Valley. Growers reported infestations in the more attractive varieties such as Fritz, Aldrich and Sonora and treated as needed. However, infestations of web-spinning mites, which had flared in spite of the occasional and admittedly spotty rainfall, drew a greater amount of attention. Accordingly, applications of preventative miticides targeted at problem species were completed as growers worked to thwart the spread of damaging populations.
Information gathered using new protocols for nitrogen management, coupled with close observations of the orchards assisted growers in fine tuning nitrogen applications needed to carry the crop to harvest. Growers with low volume irrigation systems are able to add fertilizer required materials to their irrigations, saving passes through the orchards with machinery while also employing more efficient materials.
In the coming weeks, growers will continue irrigations even as they work to manage weed growth and plan treatments for Navel Orange Worm and ant control as the orchards approach the hull split season.

Great product.
The Liquid Cal 600 Calcium by Carlson Labs soft gels are a perfect way to get my daily supply of calcium to strengthen my bones and teeth.
Very easy to swallow and have no taste.

Made a mistake with this.
I made a mistake in ordering Liquid Cal by Carlson Labs; I ordered the other bottle that includes Vitamin D and forgot to delete this item.
I would like it if I didn't need it. Just ordered this by mistake. If someone only needs the calcium I would recommend this soft gel.
I didn't dislike anything except I don't need it. :(

If you live in a residential home or if you work at a small business, you may want to consider an electronic entrance system. Electronic Entrance Systems are Access Control Entry Systems that can add security and protection to any building. It's important to invest in something like this, access control entry systems are a must have when you have valuable property or assets stored at your home or business. Additionally, these types of electronic entrance systems are also important to enhancing the security of the area and protecting the individuals that are there.

These types of things are access controlled, so you will have to know the security pin or have an access card in order to get in. This provides an added layer of security, so that nobody is able to infiltrate the facility and less they have the proper level of clearance. For instance, your employees will have to use their employee card whenever they come into the facility. This allows them to have easy access to the building and it will not take you much time at all in order to get through the gate.
The new systems that are available on the Sacfencemi website are top notch. These are entrance systems that have been professionally made to cater to residential homeowners and commercial businesses. They provide electronic locks, radio controls, card access systems, keypad access systems, and even biometric access controls. Depending on what type of entry method that you prefer, you can have either of these systems integrated into your home or business.

The gates will be made from metal and other types of very strong materials, which ensures that they will hold up well throughout the year. They can withstand hail, snow, and many other types of harsh weather conditions. If you want to improve your home or business, investing in something like this is highly important.
As a small business, you have a responsibility to protect your employees and the assets of your company. If you don't want criminals or other types of people getting into your business and stealing your possessions, then you need to use access control entry systems to protect your belongings.

3 way switch help
1 Attachment(s)
I'm trying to hook a 3 way switch back up that I didn't label (my bad). I would very much appreciate any help. I haven't been able to find a diagram on the internet that matches my scenario.
I have two 14-2 cables that go into a switch box. There is also a 14-3 cable that connects this switch box with another switch box.
Then I have two lights that I would like to wire into these 3 way switches
See picture diagram. Please help which wires do I plug into where?
It is a good guess the one switch box has a power line, a line tot he fixtures, and a three wire cable to the other switch.
It is most likely wire like this diagram.
Older switches are setup differently then the newer ones
On your diagrams...what does it mean when you put "one light is barried" and "this switch is barried"
I have no idea what barried means in relation to the diagrams.
2 Attachment(s)
both of these diagrams have the power coming into the switch location. See if they help you out. But as you see diagram one shows the traveler cables running thu the light fixture location whereas diagram 2 the traveler cable does not run thru the light fixture location

i arrived in bratislava, bought my ticket to wolfsbach or something like that and a bottle of water. when i wanted to get in the bus, the driver told me that i had to pay 30crowns for the backpack. just had 23 left. so i asked the other people and somehow got the money.
at wolfsbach i waited for about 15min. guess what driving license passed by after about 3min? one from berne... terrible feeling.... but i was happy that zach wasn't there anymore. the first driver was really cool, brought me to the highway, towards wien. and he drove so fast that we got past of all the people's cars who didn't give me a ride. hell that was cool, they were pretty surprised!! at the highway i was standing for about 30min then a guy picked me up and dropped me out on the highway, crazy! but what could i do? stood there, thumb up, hoping that the police wouldn't catch me. then 2 guys in an orange truck came, something like street cleaners, brought me to a junction somewhere in the middle of wien. after standing there for 30min they passed by again, stopped and asked me if i would like to have a drink with them and when i'll come back to wien. luckily, in this moment a posh car stopped with a rich looking man who obviously was just driving around without any plans. he dropped me out at a real good hh-spot, close to the highway to linz. after 2min got picked up by a shaman. freeeeakyyy...! but interesting. he talks with flowers! or they talk with him..? whatever. even tough he had those special talents, he couldn't help me with the problems in my life. but he said that he would gave me some luck for hh and i got off at a gas station in linz. i went to the toilet, where i actually had to pay 30cents, but the woman who was cleaning was really nice and said "who cares, if somebody asks, i will say i didn't see or hear you coming". i went out of the shop and there was just one car. a swiss!!! JUHU! nothing could have stopped me, not even his driving license which told me that he was from zurich. and yeah, he gave me the ride! directly to switzerland, with a nice stop at chiemsee. so i did 5countrys today, slovakia, austria, germany, liechtenstein, switzerland. coool!!
(zach had bad luck... he started to hh at around 10pm the night before and got a ride at 5am... poor guy had to stay awake somehow and keep warm..)

This year, one of our favourite food stores turns 20 and when Jacqui Dixon looks back over the two decades since she and husband Phil opened Sabato, she can't believe how the time has flown.
"I can still recall our first week of opening. What is now our Mt Eden showroom was the showroom, office and warehouse space with Phil, myself and one very intrepid girl doing everything from deliveries to restaurants and other retailers, mail order, admin and offering a showroom for customers to browse and sample our products.
All the dockets were done by hand and we had a couple of calculators. Plus two young children. How did we cope?!"
But cope they did and the business has since thrived because New Zealanders were hungry for quality artisan products that they'd either read about or encountered while travelling in Europe.
We have Sabato to thank for being the first to make available products like the cute tins of La Chinata smoked paprika, El Navarrico piquillo pimientos and Valrhona chocolate to New Zealand, long before many of us had heard of them.
And 20 years on, the couple still get a thrill from hunting down great suppliers and bringing their goods back to New Zealanders.
"The 20 years have whizzed by and it's never boring. It's hugely rewarding to offer the quality authentic food experience we do. You don't have to cook well to come here - you just have to prioritise good food and be able to open a jar, tin or packet to enjoy it," says Jacqui.
"Often it is simply a matter of combining a couple of quality ingredients. And even though we offer cooking classes and we're a specialty food store, I actually always tell people that - in a nutshell - we just offer superior convenience food!"

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Hockey East is proving to be a balanced conference so far this season, which is good in that there is a lot of depth in the league and there seem to be a number of good teams who should be tournament tested later in the season. However, the league seems to lack that elite leader right now, so all of the ranked teams are bunching toward the middle of the poll. Perhaps Hockey East's time will come later on in the season as BU grows into a team that could repeat or UMass-Lowell gets some more national attention or another school ascends to the top of the league, like current leader UMass. A similar thing happened last season when BC, coming off its prior year national championship, opened up high in the polls and dropped as the season went on. This season, it is Boston University, also a defending champ, which started off highly regarded and is now drifting lower.
BU and UMass-Lowell split a weekend series, drawing them closer to each other in the latest USCHO.com/CBS College Sports Division I Men's Hockey Poll. The Terriers dropped three spots to seventh and the River Hawks inched up one spot to ninth, making them the only Hockey East school to boast a higher ranking this week. Miami, at 6-1-1, strengthed its hold on number one with 41 of 46 first place votes. Number two Denver got four and number six Yale got the final top vote. North Dakota, Michigan and Cornell round out the top five. Back in the conference, Vermont slid five spots to 15, BC dropped three to 16, and UMass fell two to 19. A tough week in league play was the reason for the drops. Vermont lost to Maine, BC split with Merrimack, and UMass split with Providence. New Hampshire fell victim to a road sweep at the hands of #18 Wisconsin.
It is still quite early in the season, but a quick check of the standings shows an unexpected ordering. UMass, off to a 3-1 league start, is on top, closely followed by UMass-Lowell and unranked UNH and Merrimack. UNH is 2-0 in conference, but is 0-4-1 outside Hockey East. Preseason darlings BC, BU, Vermont, and Northeastern are off to a slow 3-8 combined start. However, there are a lot of leagues games coming, including this week with no teams playing each other more than once (in conference). UMass will step outside the league for a home and home with Niagara. BU will make the trip to Maine and also play Northeastern, who will play its other Boston neighbor, BC. The other half of the weekend for the Eagles will be with UNH, who will also tangle with UMass-Lowell. The River Hawks will make the trip to Vermont, as will Providence.

Dec 11, 2013 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff WriterState lawmakers say they plan to take a "strong, proactive position" against a recent decision by the Environmental Protection Agency impacting the boundaries of the Wind River Indian Reservation.
The EPA last week approved an application from the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone tribes requesting Treatment as a State through the Clean Air Act. In the approving document, the EPA said a 1905 Congressional Act opening tribal lands --including the city of Riverton --to homesteading did not diminish the reservation boundary north of the Wind River.
'Fight to the end'
Sen. Eli Bebout, R-Riverton, said the state is prepared to challenge the decision.
"This is the kind of issue the state will fight to the end," he said. "It may eventually go to the Supreme Court. ... Everything north of the (Wind River) is not Indian Country. There's all kinds of support to that."
Bebout is in meetings this week with the Joint Appropriation Committee, which he co-chairs. He said the group is exploring legislative opportunities to reverse the EPA's ruling.
"Just to let everyone know how serious we are, we may set aside a litigation budget for the Attorney General to take this one," he said, adding that any decisions are in the preliminary phases at this point.
The changes put forward by the EPA would not go into effect until this decision is published in the Federal Register and a 60-day public comment period has passed. Bebout wasn't sure whether the time for comments would affect the outcome of the decision.
"Once they do the 60 days and comments are heard, they can say, 'Thank you for the comments, and now it's effective,'" he said. "It's all up in the air. ... What we'd try to do is stay any decision they make until it's decided by the courts."
The EPA asserts that it has the authority to determine the boundaries of the reservation as part of the CAA TAS request.
"Certain commenters appear to assert that EPA lacks authority to determine the reservation's boundaries and that questions regarding the boundary are reserved solely to courts," the EPA decision document. "EPA disagrees."
More bureaucracy
Bebout wondered by the tribes would want TAS through the CAA anyway.
"I can understand the tribes wanting to have some input in terms of air quality," he said. "But I'm not sure they have the resources or expertise to do this. And even if they did, why create another layer of bureaucracy?"
Bebout said the boundary issue could lead to other jurisdictional questions regarding law enforcement, for example.
"You could have Bureau of Indian Affairs law enforcement coming to Riverton to try to do the city of Riverton's job, making arrests," he said. "That's not a good thing."
The EPA's decision would approve a 50-mile buffer zone around the reservation in which the tribes would be able to express concerns and give comments about projects affective air quality. EPA officials said the tribes would not have regulatory authority in the 50-mile area, however.
'Who can argue'?
Tribal councilman Dean Goggles said the EPA decision provides resources for developing air monitoring expertise within the tribes and allows tribal leaders to have a "seat at the table" to comment on potential air polluting sources on and around the reservation.
"Who can argue with that?" Goggles said in a press release. "We have a right to protect the resources of the tribes, and that includes the air that we breathe."

Well, it's about time somebody did:
Schoolchildren in Oklahoma could not be punished for chewing their breakfast pastries into the shape of a gun under a bill introduced this week by a Republican legislator.because it's what nanny ataters are best at?
Rep. Sally Kern said Wednesday her measure dubbed the Common Sense Zero Tolerance Act was in response to school districts having policies that are too strict or inflexible.
Kern cited a recent Maryland case that gained national media attention where a boy was suspended after his teacher accused him of chewing his Pop Tart into the shape of a gun.
"Real intent, real threats and real weapons should always be dealt with immediately. We need to stop criminalizing children's imagination and childhood play," Kern, Republican from Oklahoma City told News9.com.
"If there's no real intent, there's no real threat, no real weapon, no real harm is occurring or going to occur, why in the world are we in a sense abusing our children like this?"

Bathroom baskets are not necessarily an essential part of wedding planning, but they're definitely a nice touch that your wedding guests will appreciate and remember. Little details like these can be a big convenience to those attending your special day and they'll love the fact that you were considerate enough to really think of everything - bathroom baskets also make useful additions to your wedding décor.
What are Bathroom Baskets
At some point during the ceremony or the reception, most of your guests will eventually visit the bathrooms. They've sat; they've traveled; they've ate, drank, and even danced - now, whether they have a headache or a broken nail, they're in need of something that they didn't think to bring along. Bathroom baskets are designed specifically for these moments.
How to Make a Bathroom Basket
Assembling a couple of these baskets for each bathroom at the wedding site is a fun and easy task for a friend or family member with a desire to lend a hand. Start with a pretty basket in an intriguing shape and add ribbons, bows, and other embellishments using your wedding colors.
In the women's bathroom basket, include:
- Hair accessories - bobby pins, hairspray, brush, comb;
- Sanitary napkins, tampons, and personal cleansing wipes;
- Aspirin, Midol, bandages, antibacterial cream, antacids, and similar necessities;
- Dental floss, mouthwash, gum, and breath mints;
- Stain sticks, lint brush, clear nail polish, and a small sewing kit;
- Contact lens solution and eye drops;
- Cotton swabs, tissues;
- And cosmetic must haves like perfume, hand lotion, nail files, and nail glue.
The basket in the men's bathroom will be very similar with convenient quick fixes for any problems that may arise. Travel size products and samples are ideal for bathroom baskets.
Pre-Made Baskets
If all those other little wedding details are tying up your time, a variety of ready-made bathroom baskets are available to rescue you. Check with bridal and wedding supply shops in your area; many carry a selection of pre-made baskets and some will also accept custom orders. You can also find a variety of websites offering unique bathroom baskets.
Whether you make your own or buy something already put together, bathroom baskets are a quick and simple way to make sure your guests are comfortable and cared for. Bathroom baskets aren't required and are usually not even expected, but they add a very personal touch to any wedding.

Vendors find contract sales worth checking out
November 1, 2009,
Ira Felson barely had enough time to celebrate his granddaughter's birthday last August before hitting the road again to spread the gospel of contract sales.
"It's simple and it doesn't have to cost them anything," said Felsen of creating the contract sections. "They're already giving that space to the vendors they have. All we're asking them to do is rearrange the furniture, add signage and put something in their existing advertising."
But the bigger motive for retailers to try contract is that as consumers continue to hold onto their money, contract clients are still spending. Commercial clients may not spend as much as they once did, but they're still spending more than consumers.
"We're down in our retail probably 35 percent," said Ron Katz, Pavilion Furniture, vice president of sales and marketing. "In hospitality we're even or maybe even a little up. We've gotten projects that have been in the pipeline for a long time and were pre-funded."
Other vendors are doing even better.
"We're still doing no less than 12 quotes a week," said Tami Newton, sales and marketing manager at Palm Springs Rattan & Garden Classics. "In a bad week, we close three of those sales, and a good week is closing 10."
|Suncoast Furniture's Radiate provides an easy-to-reconfigure modular solution.
Because of success stories like that, more vendors are getting into contract. Suncoast Furniture, for instance, has found a strong niche with chain restaurants. When the company started 25 years ago, contract was all it did. A move into retail about a decade ago, however, eventually put contract on the back burner.
"Three years ago we decided to put forth a concerted effort to get back to our roots and do contract again," said Suncoast National Sales Manager Rick Baker. "We put resources toward it, developed a lot of new product and hired a sales team, and it's only gone up every year in sales. But it's not like we had market share to lose. We're just trying to get the market share back that we had years ago."
|Palm Springs Rattan & Garden Classics supplies a range of contract customers with furnishings like these at a Florida equestrian club.
Business has been steady mostly because many hotels, restaurants, condos and other commercial clients budgeted for casual furniture purchases up to a year in advance — before the economy really hit the wall. On the other hand, when retail sales rebound, the contract business will likely lag.
"Typically, contract is a year behind the retail," said John Mattson, director of contract sales at Tropitone. "Right now, all indications are that the commercial market won't recover until the end of 2010, while you're hearing retail will recover before that."
Still, there is one good reason to believe the contract business won't bottom out as badly as the retail market has. Given the beating outdoor furniture takes at hotels, restaurants, condos, golf clubs and other commercial venues, contract clients need replacements on a regular basis.
"The furniture you see in the common areas, the rooms and casinos at hotels has just normal wear," said Bill Markowitz, president of Veneman Group, which supplies outdoor furniture to many Las Vegas hotels and casinos. "But you get out by the pool and see people climbing on the furniture and doing all sorts of things. It's a different world out there."
Felsen says if vendors are diligent with their service and offer quick turnaround on orders, they can build a loyal following. "[Many contract clients] are on a five-year cycle with their furniture," Felsen said. "They'll put away a certain amount of money over a five-year period, because they have to change their furniture or people won't go back."
That appears to be especially true now. Markowitz said he has noticed an attitude change about outdoor furniture among his hotel clients.
"Most of the hotels we work with are realizing that the pool is a much more important part of their overall theme," Markowitz said. "The swimming pool and outside area used to be an afterthought, but now it's taken center stage. More of their guests are spending their time there."
As a result, contract clients are more willing to make a statement when it comes to design and colors. Most vendors agree commercial clients are much more willing than consumers to adopt splashy cushion colors, shiny frame finishes and angular contemporary shapes.
"At the hospitality level, it's all contemporary," Katz said. "And when they're finished with contemporary, they want ultra contemporary. Everyone wants the sleek look with deep cushions."
Katz says hotels tend to be the biggest envelope pushers. High-end hotels, for instance, have already installed flat-screen, high-definition televisions in guest rooms and demanded poolside furniture fashioned from recycled materials.
"The hospitality sector created the green movement before the retail sector got it," Katz said. "When it comes to cutting-edge technology, hotels demand it."
But other than contemporary and green, hotels and other contract clients are mainly interested in one thing: Durability. Pavilion sells the same furniture through the contract and retail channels, and Katz said savvy retailers should play up any furniture line they have that is also used by contract clients. The message is if it can last beside a hotel pool or on a cruise ship, it will last even longer in a customer's backyard.
Felsen said retailers should also at least consider delving into contract themselves, serving clients that manufacturers deem too small to serve themselves, such as local golf courses, condo units and independently owned restaurants. At the very least, it could help keep business steady until consumers start spending money again.
"I don't see the contract business slowing down due to the sheer opportunity of all the different clients out there," Newton said. "I know the whole staycation thing is hot right now, but I believe people still want to eat at restaurants and stay at hotels, motels and resorts. As long as that's the case, those places will continue to need quality outdoor furniture."

Conditions improve with better data
Healthcare companies face great challenges and great opportunities. Answer both with Attunity data management software.
As healthcare providers take on more risk, they face increasing demands to reduce operational costs and improve the quality of care, both of which often require analytics of a wide range of data types. But analytics can strain traditional infrastructure and processes because data still sits on many "platforms" that even include paper with doctor's handwriting. Electronic Medical Records often reside in legacy software that might not be easily accessed for analytics.
With more efficient data management, healthcare companies can realize the full potential of analytics by incorporating new data sources such as mobile, wearable and home-based technologies that improve care by better informing patients and doctors. Healthcare firms also can leverage proven approaches from other industries to improve efficiency, for example focusing on operations and logistics.
Attunity software can aggregate data and files, including those using the HL7 messaging standard, across all major database, data warehouse, Hadoop and Cloud platforms, rapidly and without manual coding. These tools lay the foundation for powerful analytics, based on automated workflows and business rules.
Underpinning all of this is strategic management of data like the valuable asset it is.
Measure Data and Resource Usage
IT teams at healthcare companies need solutions that enable them to shine a light on enterprise data usage analytics. This kind of insight can provide actionable information on which data is used throughout the enterprise, by which departments, and how often, so that guesswork is removed from the decision about which data should be placed where, and what department should be charged back for its use.
Attunity Visibility provides the best in class data usage analytics for enterprise data warehouse optimization and management. Using Visibility, organizations can get unprecedented insight into Business Activity, Data Usage and Workload Performance across different platforms (Including Teradata, Exadata, DB2, Pure Data and Hadoop). Enterprise customers use Attunity Visibility in large data warehousing environments to reduce costs, improve performance and justify investments.
Learn How Attunity Visibility Can Help
Accelerate Data Flows
Eliminate manual coding and integrate data real-time across all the major database, data warehouse, Cloud and Hadoop platforms. Faster, easier data movement lays the foundation for healthcare analytics use cases such as the following:
- Processing high volumes of health records and other data points, including individual genetic profiles, to support more accurate diagnoses and more effective, more personalized treatment plans
- Incorporating individual patient data from new wearable technology to monitor and fine-tune patient treatment, and respond rapidly to issues
- Consolidating HL7-compliant Electronic Medical Records easily, rapidly and securely
- Tracking wide-ranging data points, such as social media streams, to identify and spot fraudulent reimbursement claims

Learn How Attunity CloudBeam Can Help
Automate Data Transformation
Healthcare companies often struggle with the multi-layered and time-consuming process of ETL (extract, transform, and load). Attunity Compose provides a way to capture large amounts of multi-sourced data and transform it to enable powerful analytics. Resulting use cases include the following:
Processing high volumes of health records and other data points, including individual genetic profiles, to support more accurate diagnoses and more effective, more personalized treatment plans
Incorporating individual patient data from new wearable technology to monitor and fine-tune patient treatment, and respond rapidly to issues
Consolidating HL7-compliant Electronic Medical Records easily, rapidly and securely
Tracking wide-ranging data points, such as social media streams, to identify and spot fraudulent reimbursement claims
Learn How Attunity Compose Can Help
Optimize SAP Test Data
Many healthcare organizations count on SAP software to run their business. And as they grow, acquire and divest, they must ensure that accurate data is available for development, testing, analysis, and training, while still protecting sensitive data.
Doing so can lead to a costly drain of resources, storage and time. Production databases copies are often unnecessarily. Refresh projects can take days, a week, or more. Skilled resources are consumed with laborious and tedious process. Projects hit delays.
Attunity Gold Client software resolve these challenges by allowing SAP users to move data from and across SAP applications and data warehouses. It provides the most practical and flexible approach to selecting and replicating data based on any criteria and controlling the amount of data being copied – from individual transactions to larger volumes. Key fields such as patient identities can be scrambled to use and copy records while complying with privacy regulations such as HIPAA.
With Gold Client, healthcare organizations:
- Reduce infrastructure and data maintenance costs
- Increase efficiency in development, testing, and training
- Mitigate security and privacy risk
- Diminish business disruptions

But I digress...
Over many years of leading music, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with a number of wonderful people. These next few days turned in to somewhat of a reunion tour. A girl that I had the pleasure of singing with, one of the most enjoyable singers I have ever heard, lives with her husband in the foothills of the Chino Hills, about 20 miles to the southeast of LA Proper. The drive into the dense foothills was like a jungle Disneyland ride - steep grades, blind turns on roads hardly wide enough for one vehicle, all lined with tall, thick, lush vegetation and thousands of silver-dollar sized red flowers. The road ends at their home, isolated, the Chino Hills surrounding it and coming right out of their back door. Hard to believe that crazy, nasty, hectic LA was just a few thousand feet away.
A cradle robber, she wed a younger man, with whom I hit it off with and liked instantly. One of those couples that bickers and fights a little bit, but in a very healthy, non-uncomfortable, and actually quite humorous way. The couples that I enjoy spending time with the most, whom I respect and admire, the couples who seem the happiest and best fit, have this same sort of energy to them
She happened to have the next day off, so after cooking them some of my [someday famous] mixed berry almond butter crepes, she played tour guide and took me out to Laguna Beach. Thousand Steps Beach, to be specific, aptly named - a staircase of Aztec temple proportions led the way down (and back up...ugh) to the beach. A fantastic, uncrowded beach with soft sand, clean water, and more girls in bikinis ("skinny bitches", as referred to by my company). We also discovered a great little coffee shop and sandwich place - probably the only place in Laguna where you can get a good meal for under $20. Koffee Klatch - good, big, cheap sandwiches (like $7!), eclectic atmosphere, gay magazines, and Christian music. This plave has it all!
Individually and together, I had such great times with my hosts. It had been nearly six years since I talked to her (since I left Reno), and did not meet her husband until arriving, but it felt like an old friendship, not moved or hindered by the passing of time. We talked of the old times, the old people, our experiences (and grievances) with the church, where we've come, where we're at, where we're going, had some tender moments as well as many that led our cheeks and abs to hurt from laughing so much.
The only part of the visit I did not completely enjoy - that damn bird. Each night, late, like clockwork at 11:30, a bird that screamed like a fog horn in the night. Perhaps a nightengale. Loud. And nonstop. Unlike most birds (to my knowledge), that usually one have a couple different sounds, this bird made dozens of different calls
Peeeeeuw! Peeeeeuw!
Tweet <whiiiiiiiir> tweet <whiiiiiiiiiir>
pick ME up. pick ME up
Soooie!!! Sooie!!!
Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!
booDEEdoo. booDEEdoo.
jin gle bells. jin gle bells. jin gle bells.
It reminded me of the Family Guy episode where Stewie is trying to get his mother's attention: "Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Momma! Momma! Momma! Momma! Momma! Ma! Ma! Ma! Ma! Ma! Ma! Mom! Mom! Mom!" This poor bird, starving for attention, just trying to get SOMEONE to pay attention to it!
I had heard so many good things about San Diego over the years that I couldn't pass it up while being that close
People always say San Diego feels like a small town, and now I can see why. Well, first of all, it feels like driving through Jurassic Park - steep mesas and corridors between them, thick, huge plants and palm trees, the atmosphere moist and saturated with ocean air. Due to the natural landscape, you don't really feel like you're in the middle of a city, because you can't see most of it, unlike LA, that stretches on and on and on through the flat valley.
The next day, while they both unfortunately had to work, I showed myself around town. A local La Mesa coffee shop. Balboa Park, being practically buzzed by planes heading in to the San Diego airport. Home of the Rose and Cactus gardens. I took time to smell the roses. Thousands to choose from, all equally delicious and vibrant
I notice that, with a number of different types of palm tree, the trunk and basic shape give away the age of the tree. With one type the palms grow out the top, eagerly reaching to the heavens. As time goes on, as they grow old and weary, they slowly reduce their angle, toward the ground, making room for new growth. Eventually, a palm points straight to the ground, forming a shield around the trunk. Younger trees are given away by their bare trunks. As they age, the tired, sleepy palms form increasingly thick bushes around the the truck of the tree. Other palms, taller in stature, I saw in sections: the top section containing large, thick palms growing upward and outward; a middle section, rough and thick in diameter, littered with the stubs of palms that have long since broken off and become part of the earth; and a lower section, smooth and smaller in diameter, where the stubs seems to have either shrank and smoothed, or perhaps eventually dried and chipped off to reveal a smooth trunk underneath.
I eventually made my way to Pacific Beach (I know, this is sounding a lot like another "dear diary" entry), of which I had heard good things
PB provided me with a cozy coffee shop and iced chai to get some contract work done, and even an open mic to play a few songs at that night.
A night on the antique couch, a fine breakfast and refreshing conversation with my wonderful host, a full tank of gas and a [much needed] carwash. In the southwestern most part of the country. Time to head north.


text: I just bought my WRX and didn't notice anything wrong on the test drives. Since driving to work everyday, I noticed that the metal bars that make the seat hold your bottom in place are poking into my upper thighs. It's getting annoying. Anyone know of a good seat to buy that might be a bit more comfortable for a larger guy? The metal bars that make the seat cusion go up are just hurtin me! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

A very important training camp battle will be taking place in Dove Valley, Colo. this August to decide whether Montee Ball or Ronnie Hillman will be the Broncos' starting running back. The expectation before camp is that Ball will get the job while Hillman fulfills a change-of-pace, third-down role. That probably won't sit well with him.
""Come the opener, I want to be the guy back there," Hillman recently said to The Denver Post's Jeff Legwold. "I can't lie. I want it to be me and I'm pushing to be that guy. ... I know it's about production, that I have to produce to be in there. That's how they'll decide: who's producing."
Hillman was given the majority of the first-team reps during offseason practices, and according to Legwold, he has earned the first look in training camp.
Fantasy Analysis:
The fantasy community is betting heavily on Ball. He has been at least a third- or fourth-round pick for the better part of two months in drafts while Hillman is barely inside the top 50 at RB. I think that's fine. Beat writers around the team and Broncos players have said that Ball is being pushed hard to start immediately, and it feels like that's how it will pan out. This is just a reminder that Ball, who he is being drafted as an RB2, doesn't have the job yet, and it sounds like Hillman is determined to prove his worth.

Christian scholars, religious leaders and laity are reaching to Muslims to create a dialog based on what the two faiths share in the hope of overcoming misunderstanding, mistrust and violence that arises out of an unfamiliarity with the two faiths and the two cultures, publishing a full page ad in yesterdays New York Times and issuing a statement of confession, reflection and vision about the future of Muslim-Christian relationships.
The Yale Center for Faith and Culture has organized a response to a letter last October from 138 Muslim scholars called "A Common Word Between Us and You." The document called Loving God and Neighbor Together: A Christian Response to 'A Common Word Between Us and You.' says, in part:
As members of the worldwide Christian community, we were deeply encouraged and challenged by the recent historic open letter signed by 138 leading Muslim scholars, clerics, and intellectuals from around the world. A Common Word Between Us and You identifies some core common ground between Christianity and Islam which lies at the heart of our respective faiths as well as at the heart of the most ancient Abrahamic faith, Judaism. Jesus Christ's call to love God and neighbor was rooted in the divine revelation to the people of Israel embodied in the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:5; Leviticus 19:18). We receive the open letter as a Muslim hand of conviviality and cooperation extended to Christians world-wide. In this response we extend our own Christian hand in return, so that together with all other human beings we may live in peace and justice as we seek to love God and our neighbors.
The statement begins with an honest word of confession:
Muslims and Christians have not always shaken hands in friendship; their relations have sometimes been tense, even characterized by outright hostility. Since Jesus Christ says, "First take the log out your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor's eye" (Matthew 7:5), we want to begin by acknowledging that in the past (e.g. in the Crusades) and in the present (e.g. in excesses of the "war on terror") many Christians have been guilty of sinning against our Muslim neighbors. Before we "shake your hand" in responding to your letter, we ask forgiveness of the All-Merciful One and of the Muslim community around the world.
The stakes are high. Together Christians and Muslims make up over half the world's population, the statement says. Without peace between the two religions, peace in the world is jeopardized.
Recognizing that the two religions share the fundamental command to love God and to love neighbor, the writers of the Christian response propose that
…our next step should be for our leaders at every level to meet together and begin the earnest work of determining how God would have us fulfill the requirement that we love God and one another.
Some of the signatures in the New York Times full page ad included The Very Rev. Sam Candler of the Diocese of Atlanta (a contributer at Episcopal Cafe), Episcopal bishops Lee and Johnson of Virginia, Beisner of Northern California and Gulick of Kentucky as well as Richard Mouw of Fuller Seminary and others from Fuller Seminary and Wheaton College also signed.
