Deutsche Telekom Has Designs On The Web
The hunger for Internet stocks in Europe borders on desperation. Facing slim pickings, investors have bid up an Italian Internet company, Tiscali, to a loftier stock market value than Fiat--in a country where less than 10% of the population surfs the Web. Spain's Terra Systems, a sprawling portfolio of Latin Internet companies, enjoys a market cap of $33.6 billion, well above Amazon.com's $22 billion.
But now investors have an even bigger Europe Net play to sink their teeth into. Deutsche Telekom is preparing to spin off 10% of its Internet access service, T-Online International, in an initial public offering that could value the unit at $40 billion. That's more than Dresdner Bank and four times as much as airline Lufthansa.
How could this be? T-Online, with 4.2 million subscribers, is Europe's most popular way to get on the Internet, a towering presence in the continent's richest market. What's more, unlike rivals such as America Online Inc., Deutsche Telekom has a precious link to the mobile phone, which could make T-Online a monster of the coming rage, the mobile Internet.
The share sale is crucial for CEO Ron Sommer's plans to make Deutsche Telekom a global force in the Internet. But more than that, this is the IPO that promises to trigger a boom in Internet stock offerings in Europe. Former phone monopolies in France, Italy and the Netherlands are preparing to follow Deutsche Telekom's lead. Armed with Internet stock, these European telecom powers will proceed to expand across borders.
Deutsche Telekom is even preparing to take on the Americans on their home turf. Sommer has said he wants a bigger presence in the U.S. and has been talking to several companies. Shares of Denver-based Qwest Communications International Inc., which operates a worldwide data network, jumped 27% on Mar. 1 on speculation of a possible merger with Deutsche Telekom. One source close to the negotiations confirmed that the talks have been going on for several weeks, although a merger would be difficult because Qwest has already agreed to buy US West. The source says that US West may voluntarily let Qwest out of its acquisition agreement. Then Deutsche Telekom would bid separately for the two U.S. companies. Qwest CEO Joseph Nacchio is said to support the deal, and would likely receive a high-ranking job at the new company.
A big U.S. deal would be a shot in the arm for Deutsche Telekom. Dominant in Germany, it's weak outside its borders. And it's still recovering from the shock of Vodafone AirTouch's takeover of rival Mannesmann. "We have gaps that we have to fill to go toe-to-toe with Vodafone-Mannesmann," concedes Jeffrey A. Hedberg, Deutsche Telekom's chief of international business.
Can Deutsche Telekom pull off its global expansion plans? So far nobody, not even AOL, has been able to dislodge dominant local players and rule the European Internet. The cultural and language barriers have proved too daunting. And Deutsche Telekom gets mixed marks for its efforts abroad so far. Joint ventures with France Telecom and Sprint Corp. fell apart after years of losses. Although it's tried to become a global player, the company is a force only in Britain and a few smaller markets like Austria.
EDGE. But Deutsche Telekom has one big advantage--the fattest wallet of any of the former European phone monopolies. With a stock market value of $260 billion, higher than AT&T and Yahoo! combined, Deutsche Telekom is in a position to make big moves anywhere in the world. After the IPO, Deutsche Telekom plans to use T-Online shares to swallow Internet and media properties in Europe as well as the U.S. Deutsche Telekom will also raise billions more as it spins off its T-Mobil unit and its German cable TV network.
Making the right moves is crucial. Pure service providers like AOL also want to control the mobile Internet business, which Deutsche Telekom figures will be worth $20 billion in Europe within two years. But it's far from certain that T-Online can export its success. Deutsche Telekom will face fast-moving competitors that don't share its legacy as a government bureaucracy. "We work at Internet speed, they work at monopoly speed," scoffs Nina Brink, executive chairman of Rotterdam-based World Online International. She boasts that her Internet access service already has overtaken Dutch ex-monopoly KPN in that business and has 1.5 million customers in 15 countries.
Moreover, Deutsche Telekom won't have the same advantages abroad that it does at home. T-Online owes much of its success to an internal network that lets users access accounts at practically every bank in Germany. "Banking is a strong point, but it works more on a national level," says Steffen Binder, a Frankfurt-based analyst at Forit, an Internet market research firm.
The real test will come over the next two years, as mobile use of the Internet takes off. Deutsche Telekom has a powerful advantage in Germany and Britain. Its D1 mobile service is the second-biggest provider in Germany, and in Britain it owns mobile phone provider One2One. Competitors such as AOL will have no choice but to use such networks if they want to reach their own customers and join in the mobile Internet bonanza.
KEY FOE. Outside Germany and Britain, though, Deutsche Telekom will be at a disadvantage. A key rival is Vodafone, which, with the acquisition of Mannesmann, controls the most mobile phone territory on the Continent. To prevail, Deutsche Telekom will need to offer local content and top-flight service. That's one reason the company last month traded a 6.5% stake in T-Online for Club Internet, France's No. 2 online service measured by regular users.
The race may go to the first company that can create a dominant European portal. T-Online will have to compete with companies such as Yahoo! Inc., which has used its image as an Internet pioneer to become Europe's leading portal. That helps to draw advertisers and e-commerce companies that would rather not have to purchase Web space from a dozen different local Internet access providers. "We want to ensure that advertisers can walk in and buy spots anywhere," says Fabiola Arredondo, managing director of Yahoo! in Europe.
But Deutsche Telekom is hoping more and more to let its money talk. If the German company can succeed in finding the right partners soon, it stands a chance of competing against companies such as Vodafone or AOL--and staying a player in the wired age.

She is a kind person. She is giving, and loving, and artistic.
#5 Nov 5, 2011
If you don't know Ginger you must not be from around here. I think I speak for all of UC in saying she is a great gal & we all have her back.
#6 Nov 5, 2011
I in no way am trying to start anything bad about Ginger. I have heard she is very honest and caring and has helped many people.
I am trying to compile the thoughts and stories of others she has touched. I believe she should be praised for caring ways.
#7 Nov 6, 2011
Yes she is nice but she takes the word of others instead of checking out the truth. She should know that sometimes the things she is being told is not always the true facts. And before she judges she should look into things herself.
#8 Nov 7, 2011
She is and she should be praised!
#9 Nov 7, 2011
Ginger is in no way judgemental!
#10 Nov 7, 2011
I am not saying she is not a good person because she is. I am saying she needs to watch who she puts her trust into. She can be told something and she thinks what she is being told is the truth and it is not always so. Yes I think she is a good person.
#11 Nov 10, 2011
she works for Andy Pitcher! If you believe his lies you probably aren't very smart. Or...you help him hide things...hmmm

#12 May 23, 2012
I started this post with no ill intentions, but I can assure you that the true Ginger is out for herself only. I have heard all the good things Ginger has done in the past, but based on my first hand knowledge I now know she is very dishonest and is truly a fake.

You're either very niave or just plain stupid. Ginger is one of the biggest fakes in Indiana. She is nothing but a whore with Andy Pitcher being her pimp. No, I,m not talking about a sex whore, she's far too ugly for that. She would gladly do that if Andy told her too. She lies for Andy and protects his lies. She is a two faaced and as dishonest as can be. I am looking forward to the day that her lies catch up with her and Andy Pitcher and if justice prevails they'll spend the rest of their lives in prison and eternity in hell. I wish only the worst for her and hers.
Go to hell Ginger!!!

#20 Jun 26, 2012
Ginger is very dishonest and self serving. She talks about Andy & Apryl Pitcher like they are the worst people in the world. She talks about the security tape that Andy & Apryl were caught fooling around on when Andy was married to Tammie and Apryl was just one of his ho's, but then brown noses them both to their faces. Like Esther said, Ginger is nothing but Andy Pitchers whore.
I also know that Gingers boyfriend and his son (Mark)have been in the business of stealing trailers containing tools, motorcycles, dragsters etc. this has been going on for years and of course Ginger is well aware of it.
Plain and simple, Ginger is about as dishonest as they come.
Ginger is actually so stupid that a lot of the illegal things she does for Andy can't be traced back him and she'll end up taking the fall, which would be exactly what she deserves. I agree with Esther, Go to hell Ginger!

Anybody here installed stock replacement K&N air filter. I know many of you here have cold air intake but I'm just willing to replace the stock filrter with drop-in-replace K&N one.
Any info is apreciated.

Any info is apreciated.
Don't do it, not on a DI engine...no, no, no.
Agreed, total waste of money!
Please explain the "no, no, no" on a DI engine and why it would be considered a waste of $$.
First keep in mind that you will never, ever feel a 5 HP gain. So for $$$, you might gain a bit less and reduce filtering efficiency. Can't say that is a worthwhile way to spend money.
I feel the K&N Stock filter drop in is a better than cold air intake kits such as APR, especially stock engine.
I have both ( APR and K&N panel filter) and in stock TSI engine, i found that if you use cold air intake you will achieve better top end performance ( between 4000- 6000 rpm) but you will loose low end torque.
but in K&N its best of both worlds, you will get good lower end and top end performance.
I have not done any dyno , this is only my opinion.
Oiled cotton gauze filters poorly, just hold one up to the light. Dirt, in the form of silicon gets into the engine and there is no fuel wash over the valves to clean them off, deposits are guaranteed. Filters actually do their job better with age, as progressively bigger pores get filled up, filtration gets BETTER.
Also guaranteed is excess wear, esp the top-end, tin and chrome from rings, maybe some copper shed.
Why do you think all those ricemobiles blow smoke? Hammering it before the engine is FULLY warmed fugs it up too.
Widman summed up his experience with excess air filter nonsense in a short study...
Anything over 2 or 3ppm of Cr and Sn is excessive. That's not even speaking to the other metals.
I don't touch my paper filters until they really need it. I'm also pretty careful when changing them not to kick up dust.
Flow? Come on! Once the engine has enough air, more isn't better.

What Are the Symptoms of Preeclampsia and How Is It Detected?
Unfortunately, there is no single test to predict or diagnose preeclampsia. Key signs are increased blood pressure and protein in the urine (proteinuria). Other symptoms that seem to occur with preeclampsia include persistent headaches, blurred vision or sensitivity to light, and abdominal pain.
All of these sensations can be caused by other disorders; they can also occur in healthy pregnancies. Regular visits with your doctor help him or her to track your blood pressure and level of protein in your urine, to order and analyze blood tests that detect signs of preeclampsia, and to monitor fetal development more closely.
How Can Women with High Blood Pressure Prevent Problems During Pregnancy?
If you are thinking about having a baby and you have high blood pressure, talk first to your doctor or nurse. Taking steps to control your blood pressure before and during pregnancy-and getting regular prenatal care-go a long way toward ensuring your well-being and your baby's health.
Before becoming pregnant:
- Be sure your blood pressure is under control. Lifestyle changes such as limiting your salt intake, participating in regular physical activity, and losing weight if you are overweight can be helpful.
- Discuss with your doctor how hypertension might affect you and your baby during pregnancy, and what you can do to prevent or lessen problems.
- If you take medicines for your blood pressure, ask your doctor whether you should change the amount you take or stop taking them during pregnancy. Experts currently recommend avoiding angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and Angiotensin II (AII) receptor antagonists during pregnancy; other blood pressure medications may be OK for you to use. Do not, however, stop or change your medicines unless your doctor tells you to do so.
While you are pregnant:
- Obtain regular prenatal medical care.
- Avoid alcohol and tobacco.
- Talk to your doctor about any over-the-counter medications you are taking or are thinking about taking.

Alcohol addiction is an insidious disease, one that slowly begins to unravel the fabric of the family and create a mess that takes years to fix. When your spouse is addicted to alcohol, it can break down the marriage, causing issues of trust and communication problems. When a parent is an alcoholic, children feel unsafe and often are neglected, making poor choices for their own futures when left to their own devices. When a teenager is addicted to alcohol, problems between parents, between parents and teens, and among other siblings can wreak havoc.
If someone in your family is struggling with alcohol addiction, contact us at Michael's House today for more information about our alcohol rehab program.
When a Spouse Has Alcoholism
When one spouse is drinking heavily, every family endeavor comes to a halt. It's tough to maintain a budget when one person is drinking and spending goes out the window. The ability to communicate or make plans for the family to enjoy becomes more difficult if the alcohol-addicted spouse ends up drinking at those occasions – or doesn't come. Rather than focusing on each other or children, the focus of the relationship becomes alcohol addiction and all the problems it brings, including legal issues, debt and bankruptcy, and marital issues. The non-addicted spouse usually ends up inadvertently enabling the addicted partner by "cleaning up" after the mistakes they made due to alcohol addiction with neighbors, children, extended family and at their job. The result is a situation in which it remains comfortable for the addicted spouse to continue drinking without seeking alcohol addiction treatment.
When a Parent has Alcoholism
Children who grow up in homes where one or both parents are alcoholics end up struggling with issues that follow them for a lifetime. Neglect and even abuse of children are often the result when a parent has an alcohol addiction and does not seek help. Kids often end up fending for themselves, feeling emotionally abandoned and developing self-esteem issues that cause them to make poor choices, including unprotected sex at an early age, skipping school, and drug and alcohol abuse.
Teen Alcoholism Hurts the Family
When a child begins to drink excessively and develops a teen alcohol addiction, it can turn the dynamics of the relationships between everyone else in the house upside down. Parents often argue, blaming each other for their teen's alcohol addiction and disagreeing on how to best help their child. The addicted teen may shut down completely, making it difficult for parents to figure out what is going on and why. Other siblings may resent the problems caused by the addicted teen and/or follow in his or her footsteps. In general, little occurs in the way of family bonding and unity when one member is an alcoholic.
Begin to Mend Your Family With Alcoholism Treatment at Michael's House
Family therapy and alcohol addiction treatment for your addicted family member can kick-start the process of recovery. Contact us today at Michael's House to find out how we can aid your family in the mending process after alcohol addiction.

A stronger working relationship between the RCMP and Canada's Muslim community is said to have sparked the investigation that led to arrests in the alleged Via Rail bomb plot. The tips came to Canadian authorities only after they spent years working to rebuild shattered trust.
Relations had reached a nadir around 2006, as the RCMP battled perceptions that its terrorism investigations were misguided exercises in profiling. After that, memos started circulating within the force about how the Mounties needed to change their culture and make some friends.
"If we don't reach out to our communities, terrorists will," reads one warning.
On Monday, the Mounties summoned about two dozen Muslim community leaders to a police station, thanking them for helping to create an atmosphere in which members of Canada's Islamic community felt comfortable coming forward with information to thwart an alleged conspiracy by two men accused of planning to derail a train.
Police say the case is evidence that they have crossed a cultural chasm. "There's been a huge evolution," Anna Gray-Henschel, the RCMP's director-general of federal policing strategy, said in an interview with The Globe. "What really impresses me is the courage people have to speak up."
A civilian with a psychology doctorate who specializes in the softer side of policing, Dr. Gray-Henschel was among the high-ranking RCMP officials who flew to Toronto to brief Muslim leaders, then reporters, on the terrorism bust.
Several of Southern Ontario's more liberal Muslim figures were at the meeting. But some conservatives came too, acknowledging that they are interested in talking to authorities.
"We've been working with RCMP, we've been working with CSIS, I mean, not working in a sense, but we've been, you know, exchanging … co-operating with them," Saed Rageah, a Saudi-raised preacher based in Toronto, said after the event.
Police and members of the Muslim community say they have spent years working on projects that have nothing to do with police investigations – "cross-cultural roundtables," "citizens academies," police guidebooks, outreach events – as well as many frank conversations held behind closed doors.
All this work may be paying dividends.
"If something were to happen in the country, it's going to affect us all," said Kamran Bhatti, a Hamilton-based software developer, who was at Monday's event. Over the past 18 months, he has invited RCMP and Canadian Security Intelligence Service officers to speak to Muslim youth at a half-dozen mosques and Islamic schools.
The son of a Pakistani immigrant who worked as a parole officer in Canada, Mr. Bhatti feels he is in unique position to facilitate dialogue. Many immigrants, he explains, come from countries where government authorities are corrupt, even brutal. They can pass distrust on to their children, who don't necessarily understand how Canada's legal system works, he said.
"It takes two hands to make a handshake," said Mr. Bhatti, adding that such outreach events were unheard of a decade ago.
At that time, he remembers, judges faulted the Mounties for bungling investigations that led to several Canadians of Arab descent being tortured in foreign prisons. The fallout from these cases led police skeptics to laugh off legitimate busts – such as the thwarted "Toronto 18" bomb plot – as police profiling run amok.
"There really was a deep need to rebuild relationships," acknowledged Dr. Gray-Henschel, who joined the RCMP's national security program in 2005.
Today, many Mounties devote themselves full-time to outreach efforts. They are told that this work is not about advancing investigations or recruiting sources – it is simply to make friends and build trust.
Other countries are watching what Canada is doing – in 2010, Dr. Gray-Henschel went to Washington to give U.S. President Barack Obama's national security staff a briefing on how Canadians try to fight extremism.
Dr. Gray-Henschel avoids any mention of religion in relation to terrorism – "Why would we alienate our friends in the community and then empower our enemies?" – and adds that the RCMP have tried to change their culture.
"You build up trust," she said. "Then if there is a person that is a problem, they will call us."
Still, the Mounties sometimes feel they are battling a rising tide. Already in 2013, three young Canadian extremists are feared to have died while perpetrating al-Qaeda-inspired suicide missions abroad – two in Algeria, and one in Somalia. Before killing dozens of innocents, they had been on the radar of Canadian security officials.
Last week's bombing at the Boston Marathon brought terrorism even closer to home.
Safeguarding national security can be a bit like a being hockey goalie trying to keep multiple incoming pucks out of a soccer-sized net, , Dr. Gray-Henschel said. "Terrorism is the only crime where the expectation that there will be zero incidence of it," she said.
"And it's a crime where some people are willing to die while engaging in it ... It's going to be really hard to stop everything."

Political activist-critic Noam Chomsky was refused entry into Israel on Sunday. He was to have delivered a lecture at the Bir Zeit University near Jerusalem.
A prominent supporter of the Palestinian cause and a harsh critic of Israeli policy, Chomsky was given no specific reason for the denial. —JCL
AP via Google.com:
Interior Ministry spokeswoman Sabine Haddad said Chomsky was turned away for "various reasons" but declined to elaborate. Chomsky was trying to cross the Allenby Bridge from Jordan. He was scheduled to deliver a lecture at Bir Zeit University in the West Bank.
Haddad said her ministry was looking into allowing him to enter only the West Bank.
Chomsky told Channel 10 TV from Jordan Sunday: "I've often spoken at Israeli universities."

After back-to-back walks to lead off the bottom of the first, Skye Bolt reached on a fielder's choice when Tyler Zupcic was unable to make a throw to second. With the bases loaded, ASU starter Blake Burkett (0-2) issued consecutive walks to Michael Russell and Parks Jordan to make it 2-0. Burkett was then lifted in favor of Payton Smith, who walked Zengel and gave up a sacrifice fly to Adrian Chacon to make it 4-0. After a Zach Daly strikeout, Joe Dudek singled home two more runs to give UNC a 6-0 lead and match the team's scoring output from last weekend's series win against Xavier.
Carolina (4-3) added three more in the second, with Zengel's RBI double to right center the big blow, and hit 10 runs for the second time in 2014 with Jordan's two-out single in the third.
Luis Paula got his first start of the season on the mound and allowed just one unearned run and three hits in 4.2 innings with five strikeouts, though he did walk four batters. Reilly Hovis (1-1) finished the fifth and tossed a scoreless sixth to get the win. The sophomore righty got all four of his outs via the strikeout.
Taylore Cherry was perfect in his first appearance of the year, striking out a pair and needing just 19 pitches to record six outs. Freshman A.J. Bogucki closed it out with a scoreless ninth in his first outing as a Tar Heel.
Michael Pierson had two hits to lead Appalachian State (0-8). The Mountaineers have played eight road games to open 2014 with seven coming against nationally ranked competition.

On December 30, 2008 I am Dogster's diary of the day!
Every time I see your pictures I cry a little. We are missing you so much Katie. But no matter how many dogs are In my life you will always have a special place in my heart. Everyday when I go to bed I think of you.
Every time we go camping we say it's never the same without you.
We miss your smile everyday. I know that your much happier up there in rainbow bridge. Just know that I will always love you no matter what happens. No dog can ever replace you.
Brittney (Katie's mom)
They say it takes a minute to find a special person,
An hour to appreciate him,
A day to love him,
But an entire life to forget him.
Never forget the one you love.
Never let go either.

Great review! Gotta say, you're not alone in having an affinity for the blue needles on the gauges

I wanted to point out that the under-the-hood color is more of a dark slate blue than just gray like people were saying. It really doesn't bother me all. It reminds me of what the color would look like if they forgot to put the metallic and clear coats on it.
Also, I got a battery cover. Woo!

From what has been reported the Dynaudio system takes 200-300 hours to break in.
Should sound much better then.
All the system needs is a little more low end which you can fix easy.
Great write-up

Here's a picture (this isn't my car, I found this on Google):
You can see the right-most exhaust tip is connected to the actuator. I'm not sure if the muffler has two chambers (one with less restriction) or if just opening an extra exhaust outlet increases the airflow and sound. An expert would have to tell you, and I am not one.
(A side note: That guy accidentally photographed his head. Lol.)

This car is so easy and amazing to drive that it makes me hate having to get out of the driver's seat...

^ lol I didn't even notice his head till you pointed it out. I was like "there is something blocking the exhaust tips...".
Give us more info/impressions please.
Thanks for taking the time to write this up and take some good pictures. This is the kind of info I'm searching for here, while waiting for my car to come in.
I hope we can get many more of these threads with all package/color types.
Here is a good thread on Dynaudio: Dynaudio Thread on GolfMK6
I threw it into some hard corners earlier and it took it very well. There's minimal body roll and it definitely out-handles the GTO (which I've taken to VIR three times now). By such a margin that a comparison seems silly, really.
The only negatives I can come up with:
First of all, the sound. Sometimes you want it to be louder, like when you're getting on it hard or when you're matching revs for a downshift (I love the sound of a downshift). On the other hand though, sometimes you don't want the car to be that loud so in that case it's perfect (55-70 MPH it's super quiet, which makes it feel really classy inside - nothing is more distracting than trying to have a conversation over a loud exhaust note).
Second is the speed at which the car pulls first and second gear - you have to shift out of these gears fast. If you're rolling at all you might as well kick it from second gear. First is gone by about 15 MPH, maybe 20. The thing is, there's nothing that can be done about that. If we had taller gears we wouldn't have the same acceleration. So I'm willing to give that up.
As you can tell, both of these negatives aren't really that negative. Just nitpicks that aren't really that much of an issue.
I'll stress again. It's just absolutely too much fun to drive. I can't wait to get back behind the wheel!

Congrats on the new car. I can't WAIT for mine to get here. I have a little over a month till mine arrives... and it can't come soon enough!
Regarding your comments on exhaust sound... I think that's why I'm going to wait for APR's RSC to be developed before purchasing exhaust. It's what I have on my GTI, and I LOVE the sound. Its loud when I'm on it, and quiet when I'm not. I've had lots of non-car enthusiast friends comment on the fact that they don't mind it b/c we can still ride in my car and have a conversation at normal levels (except, of course, when I am getting on the highway or passing someone )
Great write up, and great ride!

Looks great! Love that color too.
Hope to hear some updates, know a lot of us are curious how it drives!
A few things:
Odometer is now reading 120 miles. Took it through some of the back and country roads around Graham and Burlington to enjoy the car. Nothing really new to report here. Averaging 25 MPG with a few heavy foot moments (you have to do this). Now that I've gotten used to the feel of the clutch and the transmission, I'm more comfortable with hard shifting. Car kicks you in the ass when you do a hard shift into second and again into third. Maybe it's just my imagination but that seems to be an AWD thing. There's no tire chirp of any kind, just pure grip.
Took the car on the interstate today for the first time. At 72-74 MPH (my typical cruising speed) the car turns a hair over 3,000 RPM. That's pretty high, but I'm used to torquey V8s (GTO cruises at about 1,800 RPM at the same speed, for example). The sound isn't bad at all, but I can imagine it might be invasive with a loud exhaust system. Just food for thought for those of you who plan to drive your Rs daily yet want to add an aftermarket exhaust. If anything, I will upgrade the downpipe and downpipe only.
Lastly, I played with the Dynaudio. Found a setting that I like better. At first I was digging the bass (it hits pretty well) but I think I've found something that I will keep permanently. It's a more clear, pure sound. Here's the setting I use:
Treble: -3
Midrange: +3
Bass: +2
Balance: 0
Fade: +2 (slight rear bias)
Try that when you get your cars in. I find that it's a really good sound.

Why American Airlines appears ripe for acquisition
As American Airlines seeks to slash jobs and pensions to help steer its way through bankruptcy reorganization, rival carriers are eyeing it, looking at whether they should buy the struggling airline.
US Airways, spurned in its quest for a major partner at least three times in the last dozen years, has said it's interested in exploring its options with American, which became the last of the nation's major carriers to file for bankruptcy protection when it did so in November.
Delta Air Lines, already the world's second-biggest carrier, has retained Blackstone Group, an investment and advisory firm, to watch American as it reorganizes under bankruptcy court protection.
But any proposal to buy American, invest in it or scoop up its assets is probably months away, industry and bankruptcy experts say, as American is given time to hammer out its own restructuring plan. A marriage of the U.S.' third-largest carrier with another airline could have a series of hurdles to overcome, from labor problems to antitrust concerns about what could be the last megamerger in an increasingly consolidated U.S. airline industry.
In the last four years, Delta took over Northwest, United and Continental have merged, and Southwest bought AirTran.
"You have to look at these mergers on a variety of levels," says Henry Harteveldt, airline and travel analyst with the Atmosphere Research Group, from the effect on ticket prices and shareholders to "the reduced competition, and impact on employees and communities."
The disappearance of another stand-alone airline could mean higher fares, reduced service to some markets, and a steeper climb for smaller carriers trying to compete with their jumbo-size peers, says George Hobica, of Airfarewatchdog.com.
"In any age of megamergers, where does that leave niche airlines such as …Virgin America, Frontier, Alaska and Hawaiian?" Hobica asks. "Can they survive as agile mice running around in a jungle full of 800-pound gorillas?"
Parent AMR reported a quarterly loss of $1.1 billion, compared with a loss of $97 million last year. But American has said it's not seeking a buyer or partner, but aims to emerge from bankruptcy independent.
"You have likely read or heard reports that there are those who wish to shrink our airline, close hubs or acquire our company or assets," Tom Horton, American's CEO, said in a letter to employees on Feb. 1. "Still others may favor a break-up of American. I do not believe any of these outcomes are in the best interests of American, our people or our stakeholders.
"The best way for us to assure that we are in control of our own future is to make the necessary changes, complete our restructuring quickly and continue working hard to position American as a world-class competitor," Horton said.
Strategies to survive
The airline, which has presented its restructuring plan to employees, seeks to cut roughly 13,000 jobs, end the company's pension plans and outsource some aircraft maintenance to help achieve $3 billion in annual savings and improved revenue.
Proposed cuts drew sharp responses from airline unions, with whom American has had contentious relationships, as well as the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC), the federal agency that would take over administration and payment of pension benefits if American terminates its plans.
Tuesday, some flight attendants and ground employees picketed at Dallas/Fort Worth International in protest. Wednesday, their unions submitted proposals to allow voluntary departures instead of layoffs.
"It represents a major change in almost every respect to our careers at American," says Tom Hoban, a pilot for the airline and spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association. "It's pretty extreme, but we expect to bargain off of this … and hopefully meet somewhere in the middle."
Michael Rae, acting chief insurance programs officer for the PBGC, said other carriers that have gone through bankruptcy, such as Delta and Continental, emerged with some or all of their pension plans intact, and American must prove that it has no alternative before taking such action.
"We're working towards an outcome where we don't have to take over those plans," says Rae, adding that if the PBGC has to step in, American employees will lose an estimated $1 billion in benefits. Higher-paid workers such as pilots would probably be particularly hard hit due to legal caps on how much the PBGC insures, he says.
"While it's PBGC's role to step in as a safety net when a company cannot afford to continue its plans," Rae says, that "doesn't mean that's a good thing for the participants, or the insurance program, or even the other creditors of American Airlines."
After American paid only $6.5 million of a $97 million pension contribution due in January, the PBGC filed liens of more than $91 million on assets belonging to parent company AMR.
But American says pension cuts, as well as plans to update its fleet, shrink debt and boost the number of international flights, are necessary to be profitable. "If we were not able to terminate our plans, then we'd have to potentially seek deeper cuts elsewhere by either affecting more employees or asking for pay reductions or increases in benefit costs," says Will Ris, the airline's senior vice president, government affairs.
Industry analysts say potential suitors are unlikely to come calling until the labor issues are ironed out.
"I don't think anybody is going to step up and buy them right now," says Vicki Bryan, senior high-yield analyst at corporate bond research service Gimme Credit, who has said that American has "limited appeal as a takeover candidate."
Besides American's labor issues, she says, a bigger problem is its loss of premium-paying business and international fliers to United and Delta. "Why do you want to jump up and start waving a checkbook now? Let the dust settle."
Tough competition
Just as many U.S. carriers sought bankruptcy protection in the last decade to gain leeway to cut labor costs and streamline operations, airlines have been pairing up to boost profits by shrinking competition, bolstering the number of cities served and increasing efficiency.
Delta and Northwest joined in 2008, Continental and United in 2010, and Southwest completed its purchase of AirTran last year.
Such steps have helped an industry, which struggles to make money in the best of times, reap a profit. But American, with no major merger partner or bankruptcy umbrella under which to make big changes, was the only large U.S. carrier to not post a profit last year or in 2010.
Now, US Airways has retained three firms "to help us explore our options as they relate to AMR's bankruptcy," US Airways CEO Doug Parker told investors in a Jan. 25 earnings call.
As recently as 2010, US Airways was in talks with United about a possible partnership before United teamed with Continental to become the world's biggest carrier.
Still, Parker noted in the January call, US Airways has been doing well on its own, posting a net profit of $21 million in the last three months of 2011. "US Airways does not need to participate in consolidation," he said. "We can now decide whether it's best for US Airways to operate as a stand-alone company or participate in further consolidation over time."
If US Airways and American were to join forces, some industry experts say, US Airways might get more out of the deal. It could gain a stronger presence in major markets such as Dallas, New York and Chicago, a gateway to Latin America through American's Miami hub and the ability to offer American's popular customer-loyalty program.
"American is certainly a very attractive target, but again, American doesn't need US Airways," Harteveldt says.
On the flip side, a union between the two would give American inroads to the shuttle market between Boston, New York and Washington, popular with coveted business travelers.
It would not necessarily be the most ideal of partnerships. US Airways has had labor problems stemming from its merger with America West in 2005. It was only last month that representatives of its two groups of flight attendants agreed to a joint contract that members must now ratify.
"When United and Continental merged, that was seen as this dream team of hubs, in terms of putting together a nearly perfect network … that had strengths in every part of the world," says Seth Kaplan, managing partner of Airline Weekly, an industry trade publication. If US Airways and American decide to link up, "it's not going to be because everybody thinks it's going to be clean and easy. It'll be because people think in the very long term it's worth facing all those challenges."
A union with Delta could be more mutually beneficial, vaulting Delta back into first place as the world's biggest airline. Delta could increase its already large stake in the highly sought-after New York market, and the two would strengthen each other's global reach across the Atlantic, Pacific and Caribbean.
"It would put Delta solidly ahead as the number one airline, and it would be very difficult for another airline to catch up with Delta on a domestic or international basis," Harteveldt says.
But most of Delta's employees aren't in unions, unlike American's. And the carriers would likely have to give up slots at some airports to quell antitrust concerns, analysts say.
Which path?
While American has time to work out its own plan, its creditors can argue in favor of a merger or purchase, says Max Newman, a bankruptcy attorney with the firm Butzel Long.
"It is only speculation, but I do think there's going to be some bidding, and there will be some form of an alliance or acquisition that occurs out of all of this," says Newman, who is not involved with American's bankruptcy proceedings.
American's most recent merger attempts with smaller airlines did not fare well, Harteveldt says. That included unions with AirCalifornia in 1986 and Reno Air in 1998. And American's purchase of TWA's assets, completed in April 2001, faltered in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, he says.
Harteveldt thinks American can still thrive solo. "American doesn't really need any other airline," he says. But, it will need to "work to repair everything from relations with its workers to making customers really care for the airline and seek it out."
Others say that in an industry increasingly dominated by giants, it might be difficult for American to continue going it alone.
"It becomes really tough to see how they can continue on competing against these massive" airlines such as United-Continental and Delta, says Andrew Thomas, assistant professor of international business at the University of Akron in Ohio and author of Soft Landing: Airline Industry Strategy, Service and Safety. "It becomes very difficult to see how they survive."

text: DOHA, Qatar and DUBAI, March 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing the journey of successful and fulfillment, through hard work, perseverance and vision, Dr. Naseer Homoud achieved another milestone. He was ranked 44 among the 500 most powerful Arabs in the world by the Arabian Business, a Dubai-based prestigious trade, investment and business magazine. The list was announced on March 24 by Dubai-based ITP Group. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120610/537671 ) Arabian Business put Dr. Homoud in the company of giants known world over for their achievements in diverse fields like banking, investment, art, culture, technology, real estate, aviation, media, science, information technology, sports, hospitality, energy, etc. Ranking of Dr. Homoud is recognition of his immense standing in the construction and real estate sector. He is the fifth most influential Jordanian in the list while his position put him fourth among Qataris. Being in the 500 Most Influential Arabs, Dr. Homoud finds himself in the company of Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Al Saud (Kingdom Holding Company) and Fahad Al Mubarak (Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency) of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Makhtoum (Emirates group), Mohammad Alabbar (Emaar), Mohammed Al Shaibani (Dubai Ruler's Court), and Dahi Khalfan Tamim ( Dubai Police chief) of UAE, Ahmad Al Sayed (Qatar Holding) and Akbar Al Baker (Qatar Airways) of Qatar, and Mazen Rawashdeh, a Jordanian by origin and head of operations of micro-blogging site Twitter. In 2012, Dr. Homoud was ranked at 53 rd position in the list. The list, better known as the Arabian Business Power List features Arabs living in 37 different countries, and working in every sector from business and media, to sports, science and entertainment. Having moved Qatar to expand his dentistry services in 2001, Dr. Homoud quickly moved into other sectors. He set up The Wall for Investment & Real Estate Development in 2002. The Wall quickly transformed into a real estate empire spanning many countries of the region. Established and managed with passion, "The Wall Investment and Real Estate Development" is one of the major real estate development companies of Qatar. The company has seen meteoric rise in around a decade of its establishment in 2002. This rise has been a result of the management style, adopted by the team led by its founder and CEO Dr. Naseer Homoud that takes into consideration the shifts in the real estate sector of the country as well as regional and international arena. The Wall offers most diversified products comprising residential, commercial/IT parks, retail, hotels, amusement parks and Special Economic Zones. Having started the journey in a modest way, The Wall is now establishing new standards in the industry. While development of residential projects and integrated townships including low housing projects in several countries of Middle East are primary focus areas, the Wall is also working on various aspects of real estate development, such as land identification and acquisition, project planning, designing, marketing and execution. Tourism is another area that The Wall and its associate companies are focusing. In early 2012,one of the sister company organized World Travel Awards, which were held for the first time in Doha. The company and achieved great success in light of the presence of hundreds of prominent Arab and international dignitaries associated with the tourism sector. The Wall has benefitted in this endeavor from the experience gained by investing in the Spanish tourism sector. Long before the financial crisis, "The Wall" has been promoting and marketing a number of tourist real estate projects in Malaga, Granada, and Mallorca, not to mention the beautiful areas in the Iberian country.

HP really needs to rationalise its model names, which are about as complex as the management structure of BBC News. This one is called the LaserJet Pro 200 Color M251nw. The 200, at least, appears superfluous.
This is a low-end colour laser printer, providing black and colour print for SOHO customers, but with the added advantage of wireless connection, so it can print from phones and tablets.
The low-profile black case has a flip-up 89mm touchscreen LCD on a stalk, which is easy to use and can show thumbnails of documents on any USB drive plugged into the front panel socket. This is unusual for a laser printer and perhaps gives an idea of where colour laser designs may be going, certainly if they're to take on the new generations of business inkjets.
The low profile of the machine is partly due to the single, 150-sheet paper tray, which HP heralds with 'Refill the paper tray less often', but is actually, hopelessly underspec. There's no single-sheet feed, either, and no optional second tray, so you're likely to be restocking the printer often.
We really can't see the logic in this. If you're targeting a laser printer at home and small businesses, why fit a single paper tray which is notably less adequate than in, for example, a £100 inkjet, like the HP Officejet 6600.
At the back are sockets for USB and 10/100 Ethernet networking. But most people will likely choose wireless connection thanks to the provision of ePrint and direct wireless printing, which works via AirPrint for Apple devices and HP Direct Print for Android.
The machine comes with its four toners in situ and you just need to remove the guard tapes to have it running. Supporting software includes drivers for PCL 6 and PostScript Level 3, as well as consumable monitoring and other alerts.

Watch the Guardians Of The Galaxy Trailer And The Classic Song It's Boosting These Days
Very much the way "Breaking Bad"'s finale has helped Badfinger's "Baby Blue" become a classic to a whole new generation the new "Guardians Of The Galaxy" trailer has caused downloads of Blue Suede's "Hooked On A Feeling" to sky-rocket lately.
Watch the movie trailer here and see why.
And now a feathered back flashback to Blue Swede's Hooked On A Feeling live from 1974
I've been in radio since 1981, starting on Cape Cod, and in Boston, Massachusetts where I grew up. (when The Sox and Patriots both broke everyone's hearts, and the Celtics ruled. Funny how things change.)
After 3 years in Las Vegas in the late 80's, early 90's I was looking for work and luckily found myself here in Cleveland in 1991, through some mutual radio friends. I got to play the hits as Jammin 92's Night guy until 1999, and met Britney Spears back when she wasn't making people gag.
After watching my former company screw up the Jammin' Oldies thing for a couple of years, I came to Majic in 2001, the best decision I ever made!

Seniors' group to meet in May

New Scouts
To find out more about joining Troop 451, attend a
troop meeting or contact an adult leader of the troop.
Check out the calendar page
to find out the date and time of the next troop
meeting. The Past
Events page contains information and photos from
our outings. To contact the troop please refer
to the Site Info page.
Once you join, you will become an important part of a group of boys your own age and older that enjoys an active year-round program and goes camping at least once a month, even during cold weather. Troop 451 is also a good place to learn fun new skills and find out something about yourself by earning merit badges and Boy Scout ranks.
In order to officially join us, parents must fill out
an application form and the medical authorization sheet,
and submit a check payable to Troop 451, as follows:
Dues, fees, and Boy's Life subscriptions are based
on an annual figure, prorated if you are joining
during the charter year. We collect annual dues at
Registration night on the first Tuesday in
January. Troop dues are used to defray such
troop operating expenses as camping equipment,
advancement awards, leadership training, etc.
You should be prepared for other expenses during the year, such as food and transportation costs for regular camping trips, or costs for special troop outings outside the "norm" of the regular camping trips.
You need two things right away to get into troop activities - a full Scout uniform and a Boy Scout Handbook. You can buy the uniform, Handbook and other Scout supplies at the Council Scout Office in Raleigh, or by BSA Catalog Sales at 1-800-323-0732. The Uniform page has detailed information about what you need to buy and how to wear the Boy Scout Uniform. Be sure to get the current Scout Handbook, which is the Twelfth Edition with the Eagle, waving flag and rafters on the front. Also, be sure to write your name in the handbook as soon as you get it!
We meet at Westminster Presbyterian Church which is located at 3639 Old Chapel Hill Road in Durham, North Carolina. Directions.
Troop meetings are held on Tuesday nights (except the first Tuesday night of every month) at 7:30 PM sharp, and last until 9:00 PM sharp, when someone must be there to pick you up, at Westminster Presbyterian Church's Scout Hut (aka the Calhoon Cabin).
The first Tuesday night of each month is set aside for meetings of the Troop Committee (adult leaders and parents) in the Scout Hut. The Troop Leader Council (youth leaders such as the Senior Patrol Leader and Patrol Leaders) meets on the second Tuesday night of every month at 7:00 PM in the Scout Hut.
During the summer months the troop may go on an irregular Tuesday night meeting schedule. Check the troop's website and Troop Calendar regularly for up-to-the-minute information.
When you come to your first troop meeting after
joining, you will become a member of one of our
"patrols." A patrol is a group of scouts that is
led by the Scouts themselves. Rising and new
sixth graders joining in the spring are usually
assigned to New Scout "training patrols" to help them
learn basic skills quickly. We have a very
special program for you that lasts for about 9 months.
Each patrol is part of the troop, but it works together as a separate team. The patrol has its own flag and identity, and it camps, eats, learns, and works together. The leader of the patrol is a Scout and is called, you guessed it, the Patrol Leader. His job is to lead the patrol and help YOU with anything you need to learn and advance as a Scout. The Troop Guide is the patrol leader for a training patrol. The Senior Patrol Leader (the KING and head honcho of the boys) is elected by the entire troop every six months. The Patrol Leader is elected by the members of his patrol every six months. Elections for Senior Patrol Leader and Patrol Leader occur several times during the year, to give everyone a chance at learning how to lead. You will find that these boy leaders, not the adults, run the troop and plan the program. Be a cheerful and helpful follower, and take this time to learn your Scout skills well - because sooner than you think, it will be your turn to be one of the leaders of the troop.
The troop program is determined by the Patrol
Leaders and Senior Patrol Leader, assisted by other
leadership Scouts, a few times each year in a meeting
called the TLC (Troop Leaders Council). If you have
something you'd like to see the troop do, be sure to
tell your Troop Guide or Patrol Leader so he can bring
it to the TLC.
Remember, the boys should run the troop, and the
adults should help make it happen.
The troop camps at least once a month, following a
published schedule planned in advance by Scouts and
approved by the Troop Committee (parents and adult
leaders). Class A uniforms are always worn when
travelling to and from any scout trip.
The troop will attend thse summer camps.
Check the troop calendar
for exact dates.
You should definitely plan to go to summer camp,
because it gives you a chance to earn many of the
merit badges and learn many of the skills you will
need for the next year in Scouting, and because it is
FUN. Swimming, canoeing, archery, rifle shooting and
many other activities are available, and make summer
camp one of the highlights of the year. Photos
of Summer Camp from the past few years at Raven Knob,
along with other camping photos, are posted in the PHOTOS section of this
What camping equipment will I need?
At Scout meetings, you will learn what to bring on
camping trips and how to stay comfortable outdoors.
For many of our trips, you can bring your personal
gear in a duffel bag or even a small suitcase. Later,
you will want a backpack and other special camping
Don't buy any of that stuff yet - wait until
you've been in the troop a while and learn from the
older boys what is the most useful equipment.
Backpacks, for example, can be borrowed while you find
what is right for you.
You will, however, want to get a good sleeping bag
that is rated for cold weather before you go camping
in the fall, and you should talk over this purchase
with the Scoutmaster, your parents, and especially
your patrol leader, Troop Guide or senior leadership
Many of our outings take place during moderate
weather, which means that only light sleeping gear is
required. However, we camp year-round. A
good zero-degree or -10 rated sleeping bag is a
reasonable gift request.
The troop owns a number of good tents that can be
checked out at no cost by your Patrol Leader from the
Troop Quartermaster. The Troop Quartermaster is an
older Scout, with the help from an adult
Quartermaster, who is in charge of all the troop
equipment including cooking, camping, and other
outdoor gear.
Eventually, you may want to buy your own tent and camping gear, but don't rush into it - the stuff is expensive and you can run up a big bill in a hurry. For the moment, we would really prefer that you use troop tents. We know they will deep you dry.
Some special rules about troop equipment:
The troop's equipment has been purchased over the
years from annual dues paid by Scouts. Much of it is
expensive to replace. Scouts who check out and borrow
equipment from the Troop Quartermaster are responsible
for its safekeeping. We understand that Scouts may
accidentally damage equipment, and that equipment does
over time wear out. However, we ask that every Scout
treat the Troop's equipment with respect, just like it
was his. If you break or lose a part of a tent,
please let us know so we can get it replaced before
the next Scout needs it.
There are seven ranks in Scouting: Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life and Eagle. You start out at Scout, and work your way up to Eagle, the highest rank. New Scouts in the training patrols will work hard on completing the requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class Scout within their first year. The Advancement page has detailed information about the ranks and the requirements for advancement.
There are several ways that you can earn merit badges. Adult leaders and parents from the troop volunteer to teach merit badge classes to Scouts in the troop, and you get opportunities to sign up for those classes several times each year. Also, you can earn three, four or five merit badges at any of our week long summer camps. There are also special events where you can earn merit badges, like Council Camporees and the railroading show in Raleigh each year. Adult leaders will let you know what badges you can earn and when they're going to be offered. You need to listen, sign up, and do the work to earn the badges!
The Merit Badges page has more detailed information.
The most important jobs in the troop, Patrol
Leaders and Senior Patrol Leader, are elected twice a
year. Elections take place during the troop meetings
on the last Tuesdays in March and September.
Other leadership positions, such as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Quartermaster, Librarian, Historian, and Scribe, are appointed by the Senior Patrol Leader with the consultation of the Scoutmaster. The Instructor and Troop Guide leadership positions are appointed by the Scoutmaster. Many Scouts get their first leadership experience either as a Den Chief, or in one of the appointed positions. Den Chiefs are basically patrol leaders to a den of Cub Scouts. The Den Chief is a very important leadership position, since they set the example for young Cub Scouts thinking about one day joining the Boy Scouts. A Scout can be a Den Chief for as long as the adult den leader wants and needs him.
Elected leadership positions are for a six-month term running from election to election. The troop generally elects its new leaders during the last Tuesdays in February and August. Appointed leadership positions are for the length of term of the Senior Patrol Leader.
In order to advance beyond First Class Rank, a
Scout must hold a leadership position. Since we have a
large number of Scouts who aggressively Climb
the Trail to Eagle, sometimes Scouts find it hard to
obtain an elected leadership position. When this
happens, the Scoutmaster and the Scout can work on
getting a special leadership service project together
as a substitute. Den Chiefs for Cub Scout Day
Camp in June is often a favorite leadership role for
young leaders.
In order for a Scout to advance beyond First Class Rank, he must also put in service hours. There is also a one-hour service requirement for Second Class rank. This can be satisfied by community service through the Eagle service project of a fellow Scout, to Westminster Church or the Scout's home church, or to a community organization such as the library or soup kitchen. Troop 451 occasionally has troop-wide service projects, but they are rare. These projects do not count as service hours, but do count as activities for the lower ranks. Troop service projects are part of the Scout's commitment under the Scout slogan to, "Do a good turn daily." Scouts should always be on the lookout to be of service to others.
These leaders, along with many others, volunteer to work with the troop because they like to have fun too, and they also want to make sure you have a good time in Scouts.
The youth in charge of organizing the scouts is called the Senior Patrol Leader. His job is to run the troop meetings, and work with the Patrol Leaders to make sure things get done. You'll learn his name soon enough. You won't know the name of your Patrol Leader or Troop Guide until you join the troop, but he will become the most important Scout in the troop for you in the beginning. Make sure you get his telephone number and put it in a safe place where you can find it.
What about the parents of Scouts?
Parents, without your support and participation, Troop 451 could not exist and could not put on the quality program of which it is so proud. It is also in large part due to your support and encouragement that your son will advance in Scouting and realize his full potential. The stated primary goal of Scouting is to help boys grow into honorable and responsible men, and therefore each parent must face the question: "What quality of experience do I want my son to have in Scouts?". We need you to do your part to make this experience the best possible for your son and for all the boys in the troop. Our basic rule is that if your son joins the troop, so do you. BSA does NOT mean Baby Sitters of America!
We ask that you try to camp with the troop at
least one night a year. Check out the posted
Troop 451 Calendar page
for the many choices you have. Good choices
would be district camporees, either or both of our
summer camps, our annual summer and winter trips to
Kerr Lake and Raven Knob, and our annual rafting trip
on the French Broad River. We will take good
care of you. Let us know if you require any
special accommodations.

Oct 28, 2013 - By Craig Blumenshine, Staff WriterThe Wolverines pen the Class 4-A state tournament Thursday afternoon against Gillette.
High hopes of using home-court advantage to momentum in the postseason for the Riverton Lady Wolverines girls volleyball team were set back Saturday as Riverton dropped both of its Class 4-A West regional tournament matches and settled for fourth place in the tournament played at Wolverine Gym.
The Wolverines dropped an emotional first match to Casper Natrona in four sets (21-25, 25-18, 25-21, 32-30) and also were defeated by Evanston in four sets (25-17, 19-25, 25-15, 25-15) to end up with the fourth-place finish.
Despite the losses, the Lady Wolverines do advance in postseason play as the fourth seed from the West because of their second-place regular-season conference finish which automatically qualified them for the state tournament that begins Thursday at the Casper Events Center.
Riverton will challenge the Class 4-A East champion Gillette, which beat Cheyenne East in five sets (21-25, 25-21, 33-35, 25-11, 18-16) at their regional tournament, in its first-round state tournament match Thursday at 2 p.m.
"I'm disappointed. How can you not be? You want the girls to play their best. You want to win. When you don't do that, it is a little frustrating. But you learn how to play on," RHS head coach Adrian McNamee said.
Kelly Walsh, the regular-season conference champion, also had received automatic state berth.
Evanston, which will have the third seed from the Class 4-A West, and Casper Natrona advanced to Saturday's bracket play in Wolverine Gym by eliminating Rock Springs and Green River on Friday.
Early Saturday evening, Natrona beat Kelly Walsh 3-1 to win the Class 4-A West regional tournament. Natrona, the third seed entering regional and had defeated Green River in straight sets (25-18, 25-9, 25-9) and Evanston in straight sets (25-19, 25-17, 26-24) to advance to Saturday play.
First game winner
In a high energy, enthusiastic atmosphere at Wolverine Gym, the Lady Wolverines started slow against Natrona and fell behind 7-4 before storming back to tie the first game at 8-8 after two thunderous kills by Kiley Ridgway and Haley Snell and a diving dig by Brooklenn Thompson.
Jensyn Pettit's back-to-back kill and block kept Riverton in the lead at 16-14, and Snell's ace forced NC to call a timeout at 19-16.
Riverton fell behind 21-20 but called a timeout to regroup.
Ridgway, a junior and one of the state's leaders in blocks and kills, then smacked two kills, and NC was whistled for two net violations to give Riverton the first game.
Casper Natrona then bounced back to take games two and three -- Riverton's only lead in either of the next two games was at 1-0 in the second game -- to set up what was the most exciting, and heartbreaking, game of the tournament for Riverton.
With solid serving from Courtney Olson, Pettit blocked, sent a kill though NC's tall front line, and got another block to give Riverton the lead at 7-6. Kenisha Muehler and Ridgway registered back-to-back kills to put Riverton up at 13-10 and force an NC timeout.
The Lady Wolverines expanded their lead to 21-13 with another block by Pettit and a perfect off-balance set by Kaitlin Koehn that gave Muehler an easy outside kill.
But NC called a timeout, and the momentum of the match changed.
The Fillies' Gabby Johnson's three strong kills, coupled with some uncharacteristically bad Lady Wolverine passing, allowed NC to tie the match at 21-21.
Riverton tried to regain momentum, and another Pettit combo kill and block gave Riverton a serve and the chance to win the game.
But two more unforced errors -- a net serve and a double-hit -- allowed NC to again rally.
NC had chances to win game four at 27-26, 28-27, 29-28 before Riverton, with Olson serving, had its own chance to tie the match at 2-2 at 30-29.
Again, Johnson proved to be too much for Riverton, and her kill and block gave NC the match at 32-30.
"When you have a bunch of juniors and sophomores, they put a lot of extra pressure on themselves to play and not make mistakes. You have to play loose and your style of game, and I don't think we did that," McNamee said.
Ridgway led Riverton with 12 kills, and Pettit added nine. Kirstee Trees had a game-high 23 digs. Koehn had 28 assists.
Riverton had to bounce back immediately to battle Evanston, which lost its earlier match to Kelly Walsh.
After losing the first two sets to the Lady Red Devils 25-17 and 25-19, Riverton jumped out to a 21-14 lead in the third set. Although Olsen's ace and another Pettit block and kill gave Riverton game three at 25-15, the Lady Wolverines never led in game four and lost the match 3-1.
"I think we ran out of steam (against Evanston). I don't think we played at the level we could against them," McNamee said.
The Lady Wolverines will return to the practice court Monday through Wednesday before heading to Casper on Thursday.
"We'll get film out, get things going, and prepare as much as we can for that first night. All you can do is worry about the next game you have and take care of that. We have to take care of business on our side first. We didn't pass as well as we could, and we lost a little bit of aggression. We need to get that back this week. We need to bring the heat more," McNamee said.

Boxer-turned-movie star Mike Tyson has shared an embarrassing video which shows him taking a nasty tumble while trying out his daughter's hands-free Segway.
The Hangover star took to Twitter.com to upload a clip of him testing the hoverboard-style device in the living room of his home, showing himself laughing and spinning around as his daughter warns him, "Daddy, I don't want you to fall."
He's one of the most recognizable pro sports figures in the world, and Mike Tyson's new project just got a teaser trailer.
HBO has unveiled the preview for "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth," a one-man show coming soon to the premium cable network.
After revealing that he's a "vicious" alcoholic who'd been lying about his sobriety, Mike Tyson opened up about his struggles on the "Today Show" on Wednesday (August 28).
Speaking to Matt Lauer, the former heavyweight champ admitted, "When I start drinking and I relapse, I think of dying...and I don't wanna be around no more."
There's no one quite like dad, and some of our favorite celebrities shared what they've learned from their proud papas in honor of Father's Day this weekend.
He's always had a drama-filled life, and Mike Tyson recently confessed that at one point his ex-wife Robin Givens was hooking up with Brad Pitt.
The former Heavyweight Boxing Champion told "In Depth with Graham Besinger" that while he was divorcing Givens, they still met up regularly for sex.
There's exciting news for "Scary Movie 5" fans, as a trio of big stars just signed on to be a part of the currently-filming production.
Audrina Patridge, Mike Tyson, and Kendra Wilkinson will appear in the forthcoming spoof flick when it hits theaters on April 19th, 2013.
He's had quite the crazy life, from boxing to legal woes, and Mike Tyson is ready to tell all in a new Broadway show.
The former Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World was joined by director Spike Lee for an interview on the "Today" show this morning (June 19) regarding the new production "Mike Tyson: The Undisputed Truth."
There's nothing like a super-hot babe to help motivate guys, and Megan Fox provides the eye candy for the Brazilian language school CCAA's new commercial.
The "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" stunner stars as the many different inhabitants of 'Megan Fox Island,' and when two men wash ashore, Fox and her clones get excited to speak English with them.

Whether you planned it or not, your website is brimming with color. This post will talk about website color and guide you in making choices that your readers will appreciate. Colors on the web exist in images, video and in the text. You can manipulate the color in the web text by changing the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). When you add images to your site, choose ones that don't clash with your overall color scheme. On this blog, I purposely chose a lot of grays for the header, sidebar and subtitles, so the colors in the imagery I put on the post stand out more.
An important fact to know about color on the web is that the colors are represented in hex. This means you will see the color written with 6 numbers and/or letters, like this: #ffffff. Sometimes it is written in shorthand, like this: #fff. All those f's are for white. Black will be shown with a bunch of 0's: #000000 or #000. The letters used are only f through a while the numbers can be 0-9. You can learn more here on the Code Side of Color.
One way to maintain an overall color scheme for your blog or website is to pick a color palette, and stick to the colors in that palette as the major colors for your site. A great tool for doing this is called ColourLovers. Let's say you know you want some shades of blue and maybe a few colors to match. Type "blue" into the box that says Search Palettes … (it's at the top of the page). Not only do you get lots of palettes, but you can also narrow down your search adding other search terms, such as hue or a hex number (the numbers used to depict colors on the web) or published period for the palette. If you give it a try, let me know which palettes you like! Maybe you can use it to design a room in your house as well.
Another color tool that I have used for years is Eric Meyer's Color Blender. Let's say you have a blue that you want to be deeper. Or you have a blue that you want to be lighter. Select the original blue as your first color. To make it a lighter, select white (or #fffff) as your second color. Change midpoints to 10. You will then have many choices of new blues.
Your Turn, Please
Have you used any online color tools? Do you have any favorites? What combination of colors do you have on your blog or website?

Ciao I'm Deanna and I am the owner of Florencetostay.com. It has now been a few years that I work with great care as a real estate agent.
From the beginning I decided to specialize my agency in tourist rentals and for this reason I selected several apartments in the historical centre of Florence, in various typologies, and some villas with pool in the Tuscan countryside. I personally know all properties' owners and I am constantly in touch with them to ensure the best possible service, before and during your stay in the property you are going to choose.
All apartments and villas - cheap or luxury villas in tuscany with pool to rent - are fully furnished and equipped to make your stay as comfortable as you may wish, just as if you were at home!
I am looking to welcome you in Florence: oh, do not forget : FLORENCE IS ALWAYS WORTH MORE THAN ONE TRIP!
Un Cordiale saluto, Deanna
