Same as Draft A except length of first and second semester
Steamboat Springs — Editor's note: This is an updated version of the story that reflects Superintendent Brad Meeks' consultation with Ski Corp. on the 2015-16 calendar. Meeks said Ski Corp. said it was in favor of a spring break occurring after the ski area closes, to give parent employees time to take their children on vacation.
The Steamboat Springs School Board was set to approve or deny the district's 2015-16 academic calendar at the June 2 meeting, but some push back from parents in attendance and questions from board members forced the vote to be tabled for now.
In mid-April, the district put four calendar options on its website to cull community input on ideas for the future, a survey it has done routinely since Superintendent Brad Meeks took over three years ago.
The options had a few slight changes in features from its current year. Draft A included an early start (Aug. 19) and a June 2 end. Draft B included an Aug. 18 start, and earlier end on May 27 with a shortened Blues Break to two days. Draft C was the traditional calendar, virtually the same as the current year, and Draft D looked much like Draft A, but adjusted semester lengths.
The survey results were released at the May 19 School Board meeting and revealed that of the 532 votes, nearly 44 percent favored Draft B with the two-day Blues Break and the earlier end to the school year. The survey was non-scientific, and voters could pick their choices multiple times, if they chose to do so.
On Monday, contention arose as Draft A appeared to be Meeks' proposal to the board, despite it only garnering 6.58 percent of the vote, the least of any of the four options.
But as Meeks explained Thursday, the survey is simply in place to gauge community interest and that when it boils down to it, there never seems to be one right or wrong answer.
"I've been doing calendars for a long time, and no matter where I've been and how I've done them, it's always like 50-50," Meeks said. "In the end, you just have to pick one and go with it."
There are benefits and ramifications to all options, Meeks said. Start and end dates as well as the length of Blues Break, are at the forefront of discussions.
The district traditionally has opened the school year the final week of August and wrapped up around the second week of June with a five-day Blues Break. An early start gives the district more classroom time to prepare for higher-stakes state testing.
But an early end to the school year could mean less time to crunch the new teacher evaluations between spring break and the final day of the calendar.
Draft A, as Meeks explains it, includes an early start date, a June 2 end as well as the regular late spring break to appease Ski Corp. and its parent employees who wish to take their children on vacation at this time. The superintendent said Monday that he has been in talks with various entities, including Steamboat Ski Area, to make sure as many options are explored as possible with those affected.
Meeks said creating calendars typically end in no-win situations, though, and that personal agendas can't all be met adequately.
"A lot of times people pick calendars for their own personal preferences," Meeks said. "We are trying to develop one that meets our needs academically and one that meets the needs of the community, too, and to try to find that balance."
City Recreation Manager Susan Petersen — a parent of two district students — voiced a number of concerns Monday with the board possibly voting in Draft A, despite its small response from the surveys.
Petersen questioned the district for implementing 172 school days instead of the Colorado Department of Education required 162. She also was a vocal proponent of scaling back Blues Break to two days in Draft B's calendar. The early start date also concerned Petersen and her fellow parents, she said, citing its conflict with the county fair, among other things.
"It's a really, really touchy subject," Petersen said. "There are no easy answers."
The board tabled the motion, with a possible adoption date at the June 16 meeting, the final for the school year. Meeks said Thursday that he plans to meet with Petersen and others sometime next week to discuss the matter. Petersen said about 20 parents have shown her interest in attending the meeting when the calendar is to be decided on.
The sooner a 2015-16 calendar is decided, however, the more time all parties affected have to prepare their own schedules, he added.
"Two years' worth of calendars give people what's going to happen long in advance, and you can plan for it," Meeks said. "Families can build their schedules around it. The sooner I can let people know that, the better. They can adjust for that."

Again and again, we hear examples of companies struggling as they try to realise the benefits of moving to cloud. They know what they want to achieve as a business, they know that cloud can help, but they cannot translate that understanding into the way they specify, procure, and run the technology.
There are plenty of organisations willing to help, offering everything from design and migration services through to management of infrastructure and applications on an ongoing basis. Even in the public cloud world, it's easy to find companies eager to take your money, and then start and stop workloads on your behalf.
But, as the blurb for my latest report states,
"Cloud computing changes the way that applications are designed, built, and run. It is often part of a broader organizational change, as enterprises move to embrace digital opportunities. Providers of managed cloud solutions need to recognize this shift: They must do more than simply run a customer's computers. But CIOs seeking a trusted partner to assume this broader role find that too many managed cloud offerings fail to rise above basic management of infrastructure."

Dell just picked up Enstratius for an undisclosed amount today, making the cloud management vendor the latest well-known cloud controller to get snapped up by a big infrastructure or OS vendor. Dell will add Enstratius cloud management capabilities to its existing management suite for converged and cloudy infrastructure, which includes element manager and configuration automator Active System Manager (ASM, the re-named assets acquired with Gale Technologies in November), Quest Foglight performance monitoring, and (maybe) what's still around from Scalent and DynamicOps.
This is a good move for Dell, but it doesn't exactly clarify where all these management capabilities will fall out. The current ASM product seems to be a combo of code from the original Scalent acquisition upgraded with the GaleForce product; regardless of what's in it, though, what it does is discover, configure and deploy physical and virtual converged infrastructure components. A private cloud automation platform, basically. Like all private cloud management stacks, it does rapid template-based provisioning and workflow orchestration. But it doesn't provision apps or provision to public or open-source cloud stacks. That's where Enstratius comes in.

It's not controversial that business success today depends more than ever on IT performance. Business processes and IT operations are highly interdependent and tightly linked. Alignment between the two is no longer an option—it's a requirement to stay competitive. Your business customers won't succeed in today's dynamic economy without IT behind them, but business customers care about outcomes, not technologies. The more you can think like they do, the better your relationship will be, the better your outcomes will be, and frankly, the better your future job prospects will be.
Forrester calls the evolution of IT from a provider of technologies to a broker of business services the "IT to BT (business technology) transformation." Key to this shift is rethinking IT's role in the enterprise and, in particular, rethinking current IT processes and the tools used to support them. Many IT organizations have improved workload, application release, run-book, data transfer, and virtual machine management processes, to name a few, through automation—yet still fail to deliver the agility and responsiveness their business customers demand.

Retail sales shrank in the lead up to Christmas, but the news was better for fashion and department stores.
Bureau of Statistics data for December showed sales across all retail sectors fell 0.2 per cent, seasonally adjusted.
The result disappointed analysts, who had expected sales to climb a modest 0.3 per cent.
However, the disappointing overall figures masked an improvement for some sectors that have been struggling in recent times.
Footwear and personal accessory retailing led the gains, with a 4.2 per cent rise, while clothing turnover climbed 1 per cent.
The gains in these areas flowed through into department store sales, which increased 0.8 per cent, seasonally adjusted.
The long suffering electronics retail sector also had a small pre-Christmas gain, with sales rising 0.2 per cent.
Hardware, building and garden supplies was another sector that had a strong December, up 2.1 per cent.
However, the news was bad for newspaper and book sales, which slumped 7.5 per cent.
Ben Jarman, a senior economist at JP Morgan, says it is a sign that people are increasingly buying some gifts, like books, online.
"So, if a lot of people are buying those online from offshore providers as Christmas gifts rather than going into conventional shopfronts to buy them, that's going to turn up as a very big but temporary drag in the numbers, so I think that's where the big downside was today," he said.
Pharmaceutical, cosmetics and toiletries also recorded a 2.8 per cent seasonally adjusted drop in sales.
The previously strong cafe and restaurant sector dropped 1.5 per cent, with takeaway food down 0.7 per cent.
Food retailers also saw weak sales - with specialised food sellers seeing turnover slump 4.6 per cent and supermarkets seeing just 0.1 per cent sales growth, but Australians were still on the turps this festive season, with liquor retailing up 1.9 per cent.
Ben Jarman says household consumption remains in the doldrums.
"This is despite of course a couple of RBA rate cuts which we got over the quarter," he observed.
"So, for a central bank that's watching how the consumer's playing out, this will not give them any sense that the rate cuts so far are resulting in a dramatic boost in household consumption, so there's probably scope for, we think, further easing to come on the basis of these numbers." The poor overall sales result drove the Australian dollar lower to 103.55 US cents by 2:05pm (AEDT), as currency traders increased their bets on another interest rate cut in the next few months.

BALTIMORE - Naomi Meiburger has been named the fifth head coach in the 22-year history of Loyola University Maryland women's soccer, announced Jim Paquette, the Greyhounds' assistant vice president and director of athletics.
Meiburger recently completed her 11th year at Georgetown where she has served as the women's soccer program's associate head coach for the last three seasons. She helped the Hoyas reach the NCAA Women's College Cup for the second year in a row, and the team finished 2013 with a 16-3-2 record.
"Naomi stood out from a strong pool of candidates as someone from a University with shared Jesuit core values who we want to lead our women's soccer program," Paquette said. "She has been a integral part of a highly successful Georgetown program, and will be a terrific mentor and role model for our student-athletes."
This season, Georgetown had an RPI as high as fourth and finished 10th in the computer metrics. She also helped coordinate the academics for a Hoyas team that holds a 3.4 cumulative grade point average through the fall semester.
Meiburger started her tenure at Georgetown in 2003 as an assistant coach, and she was promoted to associate head coach in January 2011 after the Hoyas' run to the NCAA Quarterfinals.
"I am thrilled to join the Loyola community, one that values education, athletic excellence and a quality student experience," Meiburger said. Certainly my tenure at Georgetown has been instrumental in preparing me professionally and personally for this transition. I would be remiss if I did not thank (Georgetown Head Coach) Dave (Nolan) for his guidance and mentorship in my career.
"Jim (Paquette) has a great vision for Loyola Athletics, and I am excited and thankful for his trust in my abilities to lead this program. Teddi (Burns), Jim and the search committee have worked tirelessly in this process and I appreciate their thoughtfulness, patience and diligence. I am honored to lead Loyola women's soccer into the future and am excited to begin working with team."
She worked specifically with the Hoyas' goalkeepers and defenders, and she was instrumental in the development of National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/adidas Mid-Atlantic Region All-America goalkeeper Jackie DesJardin (2007-2010). Under Meiburger's leadership, DesJardin and the Georgetown defense ranked 42nd out of 325 NCAA Division I teams in goals against average (0.809) in 2010.
In 2012, when Georgetown finished as BIG EAST Conference Regular-Season Champions, the Hoyas' defense moved up to 29th in goals against average (0.71), and they were 25th this past season with a 0.708 mark. Georgetown earned at-large bids to the NCAA Tournament in three of the last four years, advancing to the quarterfinals in 2010 and the second round in 2012 and 2013.
"First, let me say how excited everyone at Georgetown is for Naomi and this wonderful opportunity at Loyola," said Dave Nolan, Georgetown Head Women's Soccer Coach. "She is very deserving of the chance to lead their program and I personally am very happy for her. Naomi is an excellent coach and has all the attributes needed to be a top college coach, but more importantly she is an even better person. The success we have had over the last 7-8 years would never have been possible without her and I believe she will lead the program at Loyola to future success both on and off the field."
Meiburger oversaw the coordination of the Hoyas' recruiting efforts in recent years, and she helped the coaching staff secure two NSCAA top-25 recruiting classes (2008 and 2010) and another (2007) that was ranked in the top 50.
"Naomi quickly rose to the top of our candidate pool as a coach who will make an immediate impact on our women's soccer program," said Teddi Burns, Loyola's associate athletic director and senior women's administrator who chaired the search process. "Her core values are ones that we share here at Loyola. Many people who we talked to about Naomi spoke about her work ethic, strong regional recruiting ties and integrity. Those are things that we appreciated when meeting with her throughout the interview process."
In addition to her duties with Georgetown, Meiburger has coached in the Washington, D.C., club programs for the Bethesda Soccer Club and the McLean Soccer Club.
Meiburger, who earned her NSCAA Premier Coaching Diploma in 2010, started working in the coaching field immediately after concluding a standout career as a goalkeeper at George Mason University.
She was a NSCAA Regional All-America First Team goalkeeper in 2002, a year she also earned Regional All-America honors from Soccer Buzz. She was named to the All-Colonial Athletic Association First Team in 2002 for the Patriots.
Meiberger graduated cum laude from George Mason with a bachelor of arts in English in 2003, and she is currently finishing her master's degree in sports industry management from Georgetown.
Meiburger currently resides in Northern Virginia with her husband, Joe, an engineer for a local consulting firm.

Toyota Camry Blower Motor Problems
I am new to this site. I was very impressed with what the users of this site helping each other. I am not a mechanic but I recently started doing those DIY.
I have read a lot of answers referring to the problem that I am having and my head is now just spinning.
I am not an electrician or mechanic; I was just trying. This is how it started:
My blower stopped working. I had my friend; a mechanic check it. He stipped one of the ground wires and attached another wire to it and the othe end to the vehicle body. It started blowing but just at the high speed.
Gradually, the blower started working intermittently. Sometimes when I hit a bump. Eventually it died. Now I was tring to fix it.
I have tested the blower with the battery and it works. I have replaced the blower resistor; still no luck. I replaced one of the relays; still no luck. There is voltage; more than 12v getting to the blower motor.
The fuse is ok. When the blower switch is engaged; I can test continuity to the blower motor. When I test for voltage at the switch; only one wire has power. I am not sure if more than one wire should or not. ALso; there is no power going to the resistor; and yet they said in the munual that if ther is no power from the ristor to the blower, then the blower will not work.
When I unplug the wires going to the resistor and leave the blower swich engaged; I cannot find any juice on any of the wires.
Is it the swich that makes power available to the resistor. I am totally confused. Please Help.
Thanks in advance
If you get intermittent operation, like when you hit a bump, I'm thinking you've got a loose wire somewhere.

the blower motor is hot at all times, speeds are controlled by ground. your problem is .you need a new heater motor
Toyota Camry Blower Motor Problems
I have replaced the blower motor even though the one that I removed was working when connected direct to a battery. When I put in the new blower motor it was running fine with the original blower motor switch but only at certain positions. I replaced the switch and the blower works a all speeds now. It looks like I had multiple issues.
Now the problem I am having is that there does not seem to be air coming out of the vents evsn when the fan is blasting on High. What next.
Also I would like to thank those that replied to my problem. I made me have some direction. Thanks again.
That's cool. You've got everything working properly ... now all you have to do is examine the vent system and see what's stopping the air from traveling -- blower to vents.

What year is this Camry? I'm having a similar problem with the wife's 97 Lexus ES300. Blower doesn't work and then hit a bump or power car off and back on and it works again.
My daugher has a 1990 Toyota Camry. The heater fan and power seatbelt both stopped working at the same time. There was a blown fuse and we replaced it. We reset the circuit breakers. The fan and seat belts are still not working. We have purchased a new blower motor but have not installed it as of yet. The old motor as in the post above works off the battery. We thought there may be a relay problem. Should we try the new blower motor or replace relays.
Camry blower
My 1991 Camry also has a (heater a/c) blower that is failing. Going over a bump can either stop it or start it . Once started, it remains working for a few days until another bump comes along.
My question is this. How easy is it to change the blower motor. It appears to be below the glove box, but I don't see how to begin.

blower motor
I was working on one of these the other day at work was very baffeling but what i found was the motor would would work some times but not others. O tested the blower motor in the can and it had no continuity so I pulled it and tested it again just to make sure and now it had good continuity, I thought I pulled it and didn't need to but then when i spun the motor the continuity would go open then to 0 ohms then up to the 20 replaced the motor now good as new.
This old thread popped up again? I had almost forgot about it. My wife's Lex blower started working again and has been doin OK.
Re: Toyota Camry Blower Motor Problems
blower motor
I have a similar problem. Could you please tell me where the blower motor resistor is situated?
I have gutted the front console but can not find the resistor. Any help would be welcome.
Usually when a blower motor has an intermittant on/off problem, and tapping it or going over a bump fixes it, it means the brushes in the motor are worn down. Becuase of the commutator spinning, it wears the brushes on an angle, and when they get short enogh, they will stick in the holder, causing a no contact. A slight jar will free them up, and voila, it works again. Only real fix is replacement.

This is my second one, my daughter liked my first one. I couldn't play golf without it! It seems that as I get older, I need help getting over the aches and pains. This product really helps.If I'm not wearing it, it's in my golf bag, close at hand.

I was told recently by my Dr. that I have tennis elbow. She recommended that I get a band to use on my arm. I did a lot of research and finally decided on this one. After wearing it for a few days the pain I was having almost disappeared. Bottom line is it worked. The band itself is very nicely constructed and fits very comfortable in place. You can even mold it to fit however you need depending on your arm size. The velcro strap is adjustable and causes no discomfort. The only thing that took a little while to get used to is the top and bottom piece are a little thick making it somewhat difficult to get your shirt sleeve over it. But considering the benefits of the band, that is something I am willing to work with. I can't say much about any of the other bands offered, but I am very pleased with this one and what it had done to eliminate the discomfort in my elbow. My advice, look no more, this one does the job.

I was using a regular arm band and still played with pain on my elbow. I tested the theory of the BandIt by placing a couple pieces of high density foam to simulate the effect and it worked better. Then I ordered and tried the BandIt for the last 2 months and it is even better than my contraction.Now I play without pain. And the BandIt is actually less tight than my previous band. To a point that I can just slide it on without having to adjust the Velcro strap.Overall, it is more comfortable, excellent support on the key muscles and best yet, no pain while playing. I'm very happy with the purchase and it is well worth the money if you are suffering from tennis elbow.

I bought a BandIT to help in the treatment of my golfers elbow suffered this past fall. I wear it while bowling and sometimes while doing household activities to minimize pain and add support. Since doing that my elbow injury has gotten much better. Haven't tried wearing it golfing yet. If I'm lucky my injury will be all better before the season starts.

Bought this on a recommendation from a friend to treat a tennis elbow I got from cutting trees after the October snowstorm. Used it for some time now and it seems to work, i.e., I'm slowly on the mend. Beats other products tried before, and a trip to the doctor who would have to me to just take it easy. Would recommend to others in a similar situation.

Notes from the Miami Dolphins' 16-6 preseason loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Friday night in Sun Life Stadium ...
In the final dress rehearsal for Miami's starters -- unless coach Tony Sparano puts them on the field in next week's preseason finale out of principle -- the offense failed to generate much. The second-team wasn't any better. There has to be some uneasiness heading into the regular season.
The Dolphins haven't been connecting with Brandon Marshall. He had another drop Friday night, giving him four in three games. He and quarterback Chad Henne don't always seem to be on the same page, but that's to be expected. Marshall missed offseason workouts because of hip surgery. They have two weeks to work it out.
Marshall did make some nice plays and finished with three catches for 51 yards. But he was targeted eight times.
The Dolphins' leading rushers? Receiver Marlon Moore gained 12 yards on an end around, and quarterback Chad Pennington scrambled once for 9. Ronnie Brown had eight carries for 9 yards. Ricky Williams had four carries for 5 yards.
Dolphins inside linebacker Karlos Dansby makes coverage look easy. He's 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds, but he can run with tight ends and backs.
Miami's best player was cornerback Vontae Davis, a fearless tackler. He finished with a game-high seven tackles, one for a loss, one forced fumble and three passes defensed.
Problem is, teams have an attractive target on the other side of the field from Davis. Sean Smith usually is over there. Jason Allen got the start Friday because Smith violated a team rule. Roddy White beat Allen for an 18-yard touchdown in the first quarter and sprinted waaaaaaaaaaaaay behind Smith down the left sideline for what should have been a long touchdown, but Matt Ryan overthrew him.
Second-year quarterback Pat White received his first meaningful snaps of the preseason and looked pretty good against the Falcons' backups. White entered with 8:04 left in the game. He completed all four of his passes for 27 yards and had a 5-yard run.
Henne was razor sharp in last week's exhibition with the Jacksonville Jaguars but had a rough night against the Falcons. He was 10-of-23 for 123 yards and no touchdowns with an interception in the end zone. The Falcons sacked him only once, but applied plenty of pressure.
Henne had two shots at a two-minute drill at the end of the first half. First possession started with 1:43 left, went three-and-out and took 30 seconds off the clock. Thanks to an interception, the Dolphins got it back with 66 seconds left. Henne hit Marshall for 26 yards and again for 20 yards to give Miami first-and-goal from the 7 with 13 seconds left. Henne threw a pass to Anthony Fasano that was deflected by a linebacker and intercepted.
Another troubling stat: The Dolphins failed to convert six third downs and a fourth down before they finally moved the chains just before halftime. They converted one of nine third or fourth downs before Henne left in the third quarter.
This week's trade of Greg Camarillo opened a roster spot for another receiver to make the club. Moore, an undrafted rookie from Fresno State, could be the beneficiary. He had another strong showing. Patrick Turner, a third-round pick last year, had one catch for 10 yards.
Joey Haynos went down with a right foot injury in the second half and was carted off the field. The Dolphins remaining tight ends are Fasano, David Martin and John Nalbone. They waived Kory Sperry this week, and he was claimed by the Denver Broncos.
Miami's special teams were a mixed bag. They didn't allow a blocked punt for the first time in the preseason, but they were too forgiving on returns. The Falcons averaged 27.7 yards on three kickoff returns (Eric Weems had a long of 36 yards). Weems averaged 15 yards on four punt returns.

Not Your Parent's Order Management System
Posted by Adam Silverman on August 6, 2014
Last week Peter Sheldon and I published The Forrester Wave TM: Omnichannel Order Management, Q3 2014 report, assessing order management vendors targeting omnichannel businesses. Compared to our 2010 Forrester Wave on order management hubs, this new stream of research addresses the heightened requirements that order management systems (OMS) must now help broker and fulfill orders across all distribution centers as well as physical stores. Based on our research many retailers are seeing a significant lift in online sales by enabling all inventory in the enterprise to be sold. The omnichannel OMS applications evaluated in this Wave differ from our 2010 evaluation because:
- Inventory transparency is a priority. In a world where digitally enabled customers expect to find and purchase products from any touchpoint, inventory visibility is now a requirement for OMS applications. The OMS today is responsible for consolidating and maintaining inventory positions from various systems including WMS, eCommerce and even from the supply chain. This consolidated, enterprise view of inventory is made available to customers in near-real time, affording shoppers the best opportunity to have their needs met regardless of the whereabouts of the product.
- Store fulfillment tools are now must-have functionality. Unleashing inventory from all areas of an organization and enabling that inventory to be sold to customers across any touchpoint is now table stakes for OMS applications. This includes the ability for organizations to ship items from stores. OMS plays a big role in store fulfillment by providing utilities and workflow to associates that enable them to pick, pack, and ship orders seamlessly from the store.
- Returns management requires omnichannel order visibility. Along with discovering and purchasing products from all touchpoints, customers also expect to return items in any touchpoint. For years retailers have either been forcing customers to return products to the location in which it was purchased, or accepting returns in-stores from online purchases and simply shipping the product back to the online distribution center, incurring significant cost. OMS applications today must allow visibility into all orders and help facilitate the rapid re-deployment of return inventory in any touchpoint, meeting the needs of customers as well as reducing costs for retailers.
To see how the 9 vendors - eBay Enterprise, hybris (an SAP company), IBM, Jagged Peak, Manhattan Associates, Micros, NetSuite, OrderDynamics, and Shopatron – stacked up, please read the Wave report. It is important to remember that this research is intended to be a starting point only and we encourage clients to review the detailed product evaluations and adapt the 75 criteria weightings to fit their individual needs through the Forrester Wave's Excel-based vendor comparison tool. We also encourage clients to leverage their Inquiry access to learn more about these vendors before embarking on a selection process.
Thanks Adam. This blog post

Thanks Adam. This blog post is interesting. I look forward to reading this wave report. Also you must have seen the latest acquisition of GlobalBay POS by Manhattan Associates. It seems like an interesting move where they would like to extend beyond order management and fulfillment to Store clienteling and sales.

Game Data
- Loyola opens the 2011 men's lacrosse season on Saturday, February 19, at 2 p.m. when it hosts the U.S. Naval Academy at Ridley Athletic Complex. The game is the second of a Loyola lacrosse doubleheader, following the women's game against Virginia at 12 p.m.
- The Midshipmen are the opening game of the season for the Greyhounds for the second-straight year. Loyola played in Annapolis on February 20, 2010, beginning its campaign with an 8-7 overtime victory.
- Navy enters the contest with a 1-0 record after defeating Virginia Military Institute, 14-8, last Saturday.
- The game will be broadcast live on the radio with Chris Gunkel and Gary Hanley calling the action on WNST-AM 1570.
In The Polls
- The Greyhounds are ranked 14th in both the USILA Coaches Poll and the Nike/Inside Lacrosse Media Rankings to start 2011. They finished 2010 ranked 11th and 12th, respectively, in the two polls.
- Navy is receiving votes in the USILA poll.
- Loyola started 2010 tabbed 15th in the coaches, and 16th in the media, poll. They rose as high as No. 6 nationally during the week of April 26, which was the highest Loyola has been ranked since it was fifth on April 8, 2002.
Series History
- Loyola and Navy will meet for the eighth time in series history but just the second since during the regular season since 1943. The Midshipmen hold a 5-2 advantage in the previous seven games.
- Last year, the teams needed overtime to settle the outcome as Loyola's Cooper MacDonnell scored his sixth goal of the game with nine ticks left in the first extra period. His goal came shortly after goalkeeper Jake Hagelin made a point-blank save on a Navy shot.
Looking Back At 2010
- Loyola wrapped up the 2010 season with a 9-5 overall record and its 17th all-time bid to the NCAA Division I Championships.
- The Greyhounds had a season-long six-game winning streak from March 20-April 24, and they finished second in the ECAC.
- Jake Hagelin was named the ECAC Goalkeeper of the Year, and Cooper MacDonnell earned ECAC Offensive Player of the Year honors. The pair were two of a league-high six players to earn All-ECAC First Team honors, joining attacker Collin Finnerty, defender Steve Layne, midfielder Eric Lusby and faceoff specialist John Schiavone. Midfielder Taylor Ebsary earned All-ECAC Second Team laurels.
NCAA Nod
- The Greyhounds' May 15, 2010, game at Cornell in the NCAA Championships First Round marked the 17th time in school history that the Greyhounds have reached the NCAA Division I Championships and the 19th time overall that they have played in the postseason.
- Loyola was the recipient of an at large bid to the tournament.
- The appearance was Loyola's third in the last four years to the NCAA Championships.
Back For More
- Loyola returns a strong core of players on both the offensive and defensive ends of the field with 26 of 39 letterwinners from 2010 returning.
- The offense maintains 55-percent of its goal scoring from a year ago, 58-percent of assists and 56-percent of total points.
- Eric Lusby is the top returning goal-scorer after scoring 20 in 2010, and Matt Langan is the returning leader in both points and assists with 34 and 18, respectively. Also back on the offense are Stephen Murray (9g, 5a), Patrick Fanshaw (11g, 1a) and Chris Basler (2g, 8a), among others.
- On the defensive side, goalkeeper Jake Hagelin is back for his fourth year as a starter between the pipes. He finished 2010 with an 8.24 goals against average and 54.4 save percentage.
- Steve Dircks anchors the close defense after finishing last season with 34 ground balls and 11 caused turnovers. Short-stick midfielder Josh Hawkins is also back after picking up 31 ground balls in 12 games as a freshman.
Preseason Accolades
- Five Greyhounds earned Preseason All-ECAC honors from the league's coaches, and Loyola was picked to finish second behind Denver in the conference. Defender Steve Dircks, goalkeeper Jake Hagelin, midfielder Josh Hawkins, midfielder Eric Lusby and face-off specialist John Schiavone were all named to the team.
- Dircks and Schiavone also earned Preseason All-America Honorable Mention from Face-off Yearbook.
- Graduate School Guys
- Three Greyhounds will take the field this season while enrolled in graduate programs at Loyola. Chris Basler and Nick Disimile both earned their bachelor degrees from the school in May 2010, two days before Loyola played Cornell in the NCAA First Round.
- The third graduate student, Chris Palmer, joined the program in the fall of 2010 after playing three seasons and graduating last year from Bucknell University.
Last Time Out
- Loyola ended its season on May 15 in the NCAA Championships First Round at Cornell. Despite the Greyhounds' 11-10 loss, the triple overtime game was one of the most exciting during the entire season of lacrosse throughout the country.
- The Big Red took a 9-2 lead early in the third quarter, but the Greyhounds mounted a furious comeback, scoring six unanswered goals and eight of the next nine to tie the game at 10-10.
- Cooper MacDonnell fed Stephen Murray, who scored the game-winner with seven ticks left in regulation, sending it to overtime.
- The teams battled through two scoreless four-minute extra periods before Cornell broke through with a goal 2:05 before the end of the third overtime.
- Collin Finnerty, Davis Butts and Josh Hawkins each scored two goals for Loyola in the game, and Alex Peaty came off the bench to make eight saves against just three goals allowed in over 45 minutes of action.
Faceoff Unit Success
- Steve Vaikness' faceoff unit had another outstanding season at the `X' for the Greyhounds. Led by John Schivaone, Loyola won 59.5-perecnt of its faceoffs this year, third-best in NCAA Division I.
- Schiavone won 166-of-277 faceoffs, a .599 clip good for first in the ECAC and sixth in the NCAA.
- Over the last 10 games of the season (beginning March 13 against Duke), Schiavone won 126-of-196 restarts (.643), and the Greyhounds won 136-of-213 (.638) as a team.
Scoring Out Of The Locker Room
- Loyola outscored opponents 32-24 in the first quarter of games last season, but the Greyhounds were even better coming out of the locker room at halftime. Loyola outscored opponents, 41-24, in the third quarters of games in 2010.
Picking Up & Moving Up
- With 17 ground balls in the final two games of 2010, John Schiavone moved into sixth-place on Loyola's single-season chart with 90. He eclipsed his previous season-high of 76, which is now 10th in a single season. Schiavone is sixth in the NCAA and tops in the ECAC with 6.36 ground balls per game.
- Schiavone came up one ground ball short of tying former teammate P.T. Ricci for fifth-place on the single-season list and three short of current Loyola Assistant Coach Matt Dwan's 93 in 1995.
Defense Near The Top
- Loyola's defense finished the year by yielding just 7.93 goals per game to opponents. The mark was good for fourth-best in the nation, behind only Syracuse, Virginia and Notre Dame.
- Jake Hagelin sits sixth in the NCAA in goals against average at 8.25.
Getting Ahead
- Loyola was most successful last season when building a lead. The Greyhounds were 7-1 when leading after the first quarter with the only loss coming against Notre Dame. They were 7-0 when in front at the half and 9-0 when on top at the start of the fourth quarter.
Spreading The Scoring
- Loyola's offense, which averaged 10.00 goals per game this season, had been a balanced attack throughout the year. Five players - Collin Finnerty (22), Cooper MacDonnell (22), Eric Lusby (19), Matt Langan (15) and Patrick Fanshaw (11) - scored 10 or more goals this year, and another three - Chris Hurst (9), Stephen Murray (9) and Taylor Ebsary (8) - had five or more out of the midfield.
- Part of the balanced offense is the distribution of assists. The Greyhounds recorded assists on over 57-percent of their goals this season.
- Langan led the team with 18 assists, while Finnerty and Ebsary each had 12.
Up Next
- The Greyhounds play their first road game of the season on February 26 when they travel to nearby Towson University for a 12 p.m. contest against the Tigers. The game will be televised live on ABC-2 in the Baltimore area and ESPN3.com nationally.

Senator Rand Paul, son of the famous Ron Paul who is a libertarian, came out in an interview by Sean Hannity for vigorous action by the federal government against not only people who advocate overthrowing the government but for those who attend such meetings. Let me get this straight, Rand Paul is against the government establishing safety rules in plants, he is against the government preventing discrimination against those whose color of skin or gender results in not being hired, but he wants THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to supervise who attends political rallies!! "But, if someone is attending speeches from someone who is promoting the violent overthrow of our government, that's really an offense that we should be going after. They should be deported or thrown in prison." I assume to achieve this goal, THE GOVERNMENT will be recording all speeches, taking pictures of getting the ID of everyone who attends the speech and then charing them with treason!
I hate to inform another one of Republican congressional leaders who lacks knowledge of the Constitution, but you CANNO deport an American citizen! I thought Libertarians wanted the government to stay out of the personal lives of citizens.
Oh, was it a criminal offense by Sarah Palin to urge her followers to get President Obama in their rifle sights?

What Happens When the Kids Go For Startups
"During the past few years, I have noticed that my students are less and less inclined to want to work for any big organization at all, government or not," writes Steve Kelman. "Courses on 'social enterprises' are flourishing, and more students are entering the Harvard Business School startup contests. Some of the startups students have in mind are businesses that would be supported by revenues, while others might be startups trying to deal with some social problem. The nice way to look at this—and I typically try to see the nice side of things, especially where our students are concerned—is that this is just a new way for students to show their social engagement. Having said that, though, there's no denying that this trend is yet another roadblock government faces in trying to attract smart young people."

The Iraq War at Ten
"Iraq remains an inherently difficult place. For a multitude of reasons, any effort to remove the Ba'athi regime and establish legitimate institutions in its wake was bound to be complicated and require years to complete," writes Meghan O'Sullivan. "Knowing that the past decade of U.S. involvement in Iraq could have been easier, even if it would still have been difficult, provides no solace to those who lost family members in Iraq or to Iraqis who endured years of anguish. Nor is it likely to make the United States more eager to embark on such endeavors in the future (nor should it). But it does suggest the importance of learning the right lessons from Iraq, of digging deeper to ensure that false wisdom is not enshrined as sacred truth. As much as we would all like this exercise to be merely an academic one, events in the Middle East today suggest that it could be vital—if not to the United States, then perhaps to those it wishes to help."

Voter Suppression Returns—Voting Rights and Partisan Practices
"Although the United States has long prided itself on being a paragon of democracy, we did not possess anything even approximating universal adult suffrage until the late 1960s—even though universal suffrage is commonly regarded as an essential ingredient of democracy," writes Alexander Keyssar. "Moreover, our history has not been one of steady and inexorable progress toward a more inclusive polity. In the very long run, to be sure, we have become more democratic, but there have been numerous moments in our past when the pendulum swung in the opposite direction: men and women who were enfranchised found themselves losing that right...In addition to this mottled pattern of enfranchisement and disfranchisement, our nation has also witnessed periodic episodes of 'voter suppression'— a label frequently invoked by critics to characterize the current wave of photo id requirements."

Killing Without a Script
"It is completely fair to ask: What were they thinking?" Juliette Kayyem writes of the accused Boston Marathon bombers. "They weren't. And their very haplessness can be seen as vindicating some aspects of America's counter-terrorism strategy: For the past decade, U.S. efforts have focused on eliminating the biggest threats—the global masterminds, who aim for mass destruction. What's been left behind are potential attackers like the Tsarnaevs, with their unscripted zeal. Careless, spontaneous, immature, they are attackers who are most difficult to identify, precisely because of their lack of sophistication. Guarding against them is, paradoxically, even harder than targeting international threats...No society as open as ours can promise perfect security. Thus, it makes sense that a strategy that resigns itself to some form of terrorism in our modern age would, naturally, concentrate on making sure that those who do harm us are stupid, disorganized, rushed, and fickle."

That platform is rumored to have a price tag of around $100K

That platform is rumored to have a price tag of around $100K
This quote is from the Car and Driver article.
The Elmiraj's mission is not to accurately forecast any production model but rather to set the stage for future interpretations of Cadillac's A&S design philosophy.
With that in mind, I don't expect a full production, but design cues from this vehicle. It looks a lot like the Cadillac Sixteen, which was unveiled in 2003 for probable production that never came to fruition. Again, I like its direction and styling.
But it is sitting on the future's larger sedan Omega platform though.
Totally BULLSHITTING on the comments above, But DAMN!!!!!! I love That F--king car!
Another interesting article on this basically saying that the Elmiraj shouldn't be bragging about a TT V8, but instead it should be made into a Tesla competitor.
I guess we'll see if the author is correct and the appetite is there when the ELR goes on sale.
I'm thinking that the Tesla is eventually heading to the crapper. This is just my opinion (on all electrics; extended range, i.e. Volt, ELR and some of the hybrids excluded), but after the rich 'greenies' run out, the market will be exhausted. I'm still having problems with an all electric vehicle (pending a battery breakthrough) that would provide like-service a ICE provides.
Sign me up. But it has to have stick shift! :D
Another article with video.
Here is another article on the Omega platform and GM mentioning the cancellation of an even larger/more expensive platform.
Plus, I think that if Tesla succeeds, then the ELR will succeed, and then the Volt, the Spark, etc. In other words, I think it's good for the industry despite the fact that it's not for everyone.
One great acknowledgement from "the street.com" article is that Cadillac has the best designers in the world, and this is obvious by the beauty of the Elmiraj. The video on the "Maxim.com" link above shows how cool the Elmiraj looks in motion--truly outstanding! At 1:08 in the tape the tail lamps, with the thin chrome strip between the vertical lenses, is gorgeous! It's exciting to think Cadillac is the car maker whose concepts have come to production (ie. the '09 CTS Coupe concept being available to buy in 2011) making it likely Cadillac may BUILD the Elmiraj!
As for the powerplant, GM should weigh carefully the premise of the author in "the street.com" aritcle relative to Silicon Valley and carefully consider an electric powerplant for the Elmiraj. Whatever they choose, keep the design as close as possible to the concept--it's magnificent! The heritage of Cadillac reveals extraordinary styling to be the most common element of its most successful models through the years, and the Elmiraj continues that tradition.
The Tesla S will be successful not because it's a good electric car but because it's a great car in spite of it being electric. The car itself is beautiful, looks extremely well made with an interior made using very high quality leather and all the amenities one would expect of a car in its class. Centerpoint of the interior is a 17'' touchscreen that is connected to the internet. The car is eerily silent to drive, handles very well and is fast. 0-60 in base trim is under 6 seconds and the performance trim will do it in just over 4 seconds. Top speed is between 120 and 130 depending on which Tesla S trim level you get. Range is just over 200 miles for the base trim and 265 miles for the other levels.
Tesla was created by Elon Musk, who is a self made billionaire and realizes that for the car to successful, it would need a warranty that is best in class. The Tesla S warranty is 4 years or 50,000 miles with available service plans that can extend it to 8 years and unlimited miles. It is a limited warranty that covers everything but tires. It is recommended that the car have an annual inspection done (no charge with a service plan) but if you don't happen to get around to having it done, it in no way affects your warranty coverage. Any improvements, upgrades or software updates that are made to new Tesla S cars will be done on all Tesla S cars under warranty at no charge. When your car needs service or has a problem you can bring it to a service center or have them come pick it up. Either way you get a Tesla to use at no charge. There is also the option of having someone come out and do the work where it is for many jobs. And with Tesla, there are no dealers to contend with as all Tesla showrooms and service centers are company owned.
Taking long trips are being made possible with the rapid growth of Tesla charging stations along the interstates. Coast to coast by the end of the year. These stations are called Superchargers and are being constructed near diners, restaurants and shopping malls. A 200 mile charge can be done in 30 minutes for free while you get a bite to eat or for the cost of 15 gallons of gas, you can have your battery pack swapped for a fully charged one in less time than it takes to pump 15 gallons of gas if you are in a hurry.
By now you must think I'm some sort of greenie but that is far from the truth. I love the smell of exotic racing fuel exhaust and the smell of burning trees in a fireplace. I love the sound of a AA Fueler or superstocker, F1 cars or the fabulous Hudson Hornet 308 cubic inch flathead six. But most of all I love the sound of any internal combustion engine I'm driving on the race course or the street. But I have to admit that after driving a Tesla last fall and now that a friend of mine has one. It gets me thinkin sometimes...it gets me thinkin.

JeffH - Question on cutters
To start with I consider the Tayana 37 to be one of the better old style heavy displacement cruisers. While I am not a proponent of old style heavy displacement offshore cruisers, even for offshore work. The basic design brief for boats like these has been around for over a hundred years and I think that a lot has been learned about the behavior of boats at sea and designing boats for offshore work that this type of boat ignores. That said, on a reach and given enough wind the T37''s sail reasonably well. While there are a lot of aspects of the construction of these boats that I personally don''t like, they were well built and have held up reasonably well for what they are. I think that Bob Perry did a beautiful job of modeling the hulls of these boats. From having designed heavy displacement cruisers myself, I can tell you that it is very difficult to model a heavy displacement hull anywhere near as nicely as the T-37''s.
But in my humble opinion they are lousy coastal cruisers. Obviously much, if not most of this discussion is subjective but, to me a coastal cruiser needs to sail well in a wider range of conditions than an offshore boat. By that I mean that it should have better light air, heavy air (albeit for a shorter duration), upwind and downwind performance than the average offshore boat. An offshore boat has the luxuray of sea room or weighting a day or two. The confined conditions that a coastal cruiser operates under means that it has to be able to sail itself out of a tough spot without a margin for error. The coastal cruiser should be more maneuverable and easier to get underway than an old style offshore cruiser. By necessity an offshore cruiser needs a tiny cockpit and in the case of the Tayana one that is too small to be comfortable for hanging out. An offshore cruiser needs an interior that has tight passages, small head and galley recesses, and narrow restrictive bunks where you won''t get thrown about so that it is safe offshore, while a coastal cruisers should have more room to simply lounge. It is true that some of the Tayana 37''s (and Westsail 32''s for that matter) have coastal cruising style interiors which somehow seems nuts because you are taking a boat that is a poor coastal cruiser for other reasons and making it a poor offshore cruiser because of the interior.
Old style offshore cruisers relied on a lot of redundancy and larger safety margins which can really hurt performance. A good coastal cruiser can be gunkholed under sail. A good coastal cruiser should have a sail plan that can quickly shift gears with the often highly changeable conditions found along shore. Almost by design, old style cruising rigs are hard to power up and down. Part of that has to do keeping the equipment simple, part with the fact that the hull/keel combo is so performance restrictive that shifting gear doesn''t do much good, part had to do with the small sail plans that these boats have relative to their displacement which results from having comparatively small stability relative to their displacement and part of this results from the weights of sail cloth needed to reliably drive that much displacement in a heavy wind and sea.
Coastal cruisers should be light and airy. Offshore boats by necessity should have small and minimal deck openings.
To summarize this in a nutshell, the priorities of going offshore in a tradition offshore design shape all aspects of the boat as a system. Boats like the Tayana 37 are highly specialized and task specific and so they do their task extremely well, but this high degree of specialization comes at the price of not being very good generalists, which is what a coastal cruiser must be.
JeffH - Question on cutters
Jeff, I wonder if you could expand on the idea of Tayana 37s being worthless so that those making decisions to possibly buy one would not weigh your opinion without the underlying criteria and basis for said opinion.
JeffH - Question on cutters
You might ask this question on the Cruising World BB where Bob Perry is a frequent contributer. While the Tayana 37''s are better than many of the overweight type cuisers, they are still pretty useless as coastal cruisers in most US east coast cruising grounds.
Cruising Worlds General Messages BB can be found at:
JeffH - Question on cutters
The sailboat that I am asking about is a Tayana 37 which does have the headstay tacked on the bowsprit. From what I have read, Perry did not move the mast forward on the T37.
thanks for your comments
JeffH - Question on cutters
The impact of removing the jib stay on a multiple jib sloop or a cutter will greatly depend on the specific design of the boat in question. In most cases the impact is negligible as the staysail adds little in the way of performance and when used with a genoa adds little toward balance. There may be staying issues with the removal of the stay but in most cases the masts on cutters are sturdy enough to be sailed without the jibstay in place.
The only disadvantage that I can think of would be on boats with the headstay tacked to the end of the bowsprit; I would have serious concerns about supporting the entire rig loads at the end of a bowsprit. Also if the boat was designed to have its storm jib floan from the jibstay, I would be concerned about balance in heavy going.
JeffH - Question on cutters
I''m not Jeff, but I''ve read about and seen the characteristics that distinguish a ''true'' cutter from a ''sloop''.
A true cutter will have the mast set farther (nearly mid-way) back than a sloop, which usually has the mast set about 1/3 way back from the bow. So, if one only removes a cutter''s mid-forestay - that in-of-itself will nott make the boat a ''true'' sloop.
Also, the boom on a cutter will likely be a bit shorter than on a similar sized sloop. Thesw sail size and location differences will have a large effect on where the center of force is located, and thus on the boat''s performance and sailing efficiency.
I''m sure Jeff-H can add much more detailed information.
~ Happy sails to you ~ _/) ~
JeffH - Question on cutters
I have read several posts over the last few months in which you discuss the disadvantages of cutters. I understand your comments, but have two additional question.
1) If you change a cutter to a sloop, exactly how will that effect the sailing characteristics of the sailboat?
2) Are there any disadvantages to making this change?
Thanks for your help!!

Protein treatment fail
I just posted this in the protein craving section but this one fits better lol.
Ok so this is gonna be like a "no sh*t" thing but I'm away from home where I have most of my stuff and the only things I had were: honey, organic Greek yogurt vanilla flavored, mayonnaise, milk, my oil mixture (olive, jojoba, tea tree, coconut, vitamin e, rosemary) my tresemme naturals conditioner, and banana's. Lol so I didn't have a mixer and I used a spoon. Needless to say it took me a good wash, condition, detangle and some more work that took me a good hour and a half to get all the banana out of my hair smh. Yea I know I'm stupid but I needed it. Anyone have protein disasters they would like to share as a warning?
No but it may have worked fine with just the yogurt

Using donated eggs in your treatment
On this page:
- How are donated eggs used?
- Is using donated eggs for me?
- How does using donated eggs work?
- Using your eggs in your partner's treatment
- What is my chance of having a baby using donated eggs?
- Legal considerations
- Where do I start?
How are donated eggs used?
Donated eggs are fertilised with your partner's (or a donor's) sperm by in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The developing embryos are then transferred into your uterus.
Is using donated eggs for me?
Using donated eggs is a major decision and you should take your time. You may want to discuss your feelings with friends, family or a professional counsellor before proceeding.
Using donated eggs in your treatment may be recommended if:
- you have no ovaries or have had them removed
- you have had cancer treatment which has damaged your ovaries
- you are post-menopausal
- you are producing few or low-quality eggs
- you have repeatedly tried to conceive unsuccessfully using fertility drugs or IVF
- you have had several recurrent miscarriages
- you have a high risk of passing on a serious inherited disorder.
How does using donated eggs work?
Before treatment takes place, you will need to complete various consent forms (see p81). The procedure for using donated eggs varies depending on your clinic and the fertility treatment you are undergoing. A typical procedure may involve the following steps::
For women
1. You and your donor will be given medication to synchronise your menstrual cycles. You will also be given medication to prepare the endometrium lining of your womb for embryo transfer.
2. The donated eggs will be fertilised using IVF or ICSI.
3. When the embryos begin to develop, they will be transferred to your womb as in conventional IVF. As the eggs will be from donors aged 35 or younger, no more than two embryos will be transferred.
Alternatively, the embryos may be frozen after they have been fertilised. This avoids the need to synchronise your menstrual cycle with that of the donor and may reduce the stress of the treatment..
Occasionally eggs and sperm are transferred together before fertilisation takes place – a procedure called gamete intra-fallopian transfer (GIFT).
For men
1. Unless you are using donor sperm, before treatment takes place you will give a sperm sample to check that your sperm are healthy and active.
2. On the day that the eggs are collected, you will give another sperm sample.
3. The sperm sample is mixed with the donor eggs in vitro to fertilise them, or fertilised by ICSI and then transferred to the womb.
Using your eggs in your partner's treatment
If you are in a same sex female couple and you want to use your eggs and your partner carry the baby, the process for collecting your eggs will be as follows:
1. After being screened for sexually transmitted diseases and some genetic disorders, you will be given a series of hormone injections to help develop and mature the eggs within the ovaries.
2. Once the eggs are matured, they are collected while you are sedated by inserting a needle into the ovaries through the vagina.
The eggs will then be fertilised, usually using IVF.
What is my chance of having a baby using donated eggs?
There is an average 25– 40% success rate for each treatment cycle using donor eggs. This is slightly higher than the average success rate for conventional IVF across all age groups, as donor eggs must come from someone aged 35 or under.
What are the risks of using donated eggs?
If you use donated eggs from a registered donor at an HFEA licensed clinic, the risks are minimal because:
- donors who give eggs through a licensed clinic must answer a series of questions designed to ensure that they are suitable and know what they are doing. Counselling is routinely offered.
- licensed clinics check donors' family histories to see if they could be carrying inherited diseases
- donors have a hormone profile taken to ensure that there should be no difficulty in stimulating egg production
- the donor's blood group is obtained
- all donors go through stringent screening checks to ensure they are not carrying infections, such as HIV, hepatitis B and C, cytomegalovirus (CMV), syphilis and gonorrhoea.
- there are limits on the numbers of families created by each donor where eggs are used to treat you at a licensed clinic.
Legal considerations
Parenthood issues - if you go through a licensed clinic, you are the legal parent of the child and the donor cannot make a claim for or be responsible for the child.
By law, the woman having treatment is considered to be the baby's mother, not the woman who donated the eggs.
If the woman who is treated has a husband or male partner who gave his consent to the treatment, he is considered by law to be the baby's father. If she has a female partner, she can obtain parental responsibility.
Withdrawing consent - the egg donor can change her mind at any time about the use of her donated eggs up to the point of embryo transfer. This applies to any "surplus" embryos resulting from the egg donation that you have had frozen for your future use.
Donor identifying information - since April 2005, identifying information about donors is held on the HFEA Register and may be given to any child born from donation once they are 18 years old.
Where do I start?
Once you have decided, in consultation with your clinician, that egg donation is suitable for your circumstances, an egg donor who is acceptable to you must be found.
Clinics will usually offer to put you on a waiting list for an egg donor – ask them about how long they would expect you to wait.
Egg donors can either be anonymous altruistic donors, or someone known to you such as a close friend.
You can also:
- contact the National Gamete Donation Trust who actively recruits donors
- ask suitable friends or relatives
- some clinics enable you to 'share' eggs. This is when another woman receiving treatment donates some of her eggs for you to use (provided enough are collected).

jeanneau deck problem
You had emailed me about this and I sent back a reply but I did not realize that the boat previously had a teak deck. I do not know what Jeaneau''s practice was, but most manufacturers use plywood cores when they build a teak deck. If that is the case, the problem can be a lot worse than on a balsa cored deck since plywood tends to rot more quickly since the plys carry the moisture in all directions from a leak. Run, don''t walk, the other way from this boat.
jeanneau deck problem
Im thinking of purchasing a 1985 jeanneau 45 sunkiss Ive had a survey done and the results where good untill the surveror found that the deck had a lot of moisture from the chain locker back to the cockpit.I found out that the yacht had previousley had a teak deck which had been removed and where the screws had been hadnt been repaired properly.the suveyor suggested that the core betwen the deck and the inner skin,which I think is bolsa has to be removed ,replaced and then a new deck applied.
What I would like to know is ,has any body had a similar problem and what is the best cure,and will this affect the strength of the yacht or should I just walk away?
thanks for any input steve

U.S. President Obama nominates new ambassador to Peru
by Diego M. Ortiz
Peru to receive new U.S. chief diplomat.
Andina news agency reports that U.S. President Barack Obama nominated Brian A. Nichols as the next U.S. Ambassador to Peru. Nichols is expected to replace the outgoing ambassador, Rose M. Likins, after confirmation of his nomination by the U.S. Senate.
Nichols is a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, Class of Minister-Counselor and is the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs at the Department of State.
The diplomat has experience in Latin America and the Caribbean, from 2007 to 2010, Nichols was Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Bogota, Colombia. From 2004 to 2007, he was Director of the Office of Caribbean Affairs in the Department of State Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs.
Nichols joined the Foreign Service in 1989 and his first assignment was Consular Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Lima, Peru. He has also served overseas in Mexico and El Salvador. He received a B.S. from Tufts University.
Victor Andres Garcia Belaunde, the president of the Foreign Affairs Comission in the Peruvian Congress, took a jab at the out-going ambassador by telling El Comercio that the change of ambassador was necessary.
"I think that Mrs. Likins did not have a joyous time in our country," Garcia said. "And if there is a change, she won't be missed."
