On Saturday, February 10th, the Bucs got up early (a little early by some accounts) and made the trek to Fort Worth to play TCU, a Div. A team playing in Division B for the third straight year. The past couple of years Southwestern has played the Horned Frogs at home and has handled them easily.
That alone was a very scary thought in retrospect. The Bucs severely underestimated the talent and the numbers they had on their team, based on the scores from early in the season.
In short, the Bucs were not mentally prepared and the Horned Frogs came out with something to prove. TCU played a zone for the ENTIRE game. When that was coupled with the slow start by the Bucs, unable to throw and catch in the first half, a recipe for a very tough game was starting to bake.
Fortunately the Bucs defense was a stalwart the entire game and was able to keep TCU in check. The Bucs needed it, becoming more and more frustrated as each second ticked off.
The Bucs and the Horned Frogs were notched at 0-0 after one with one of the sloppiest quarters in recent memory on offense and in transition. Finally in the second, Webb broke the game open ; ) with a rebound shot to give the Bucs a 1-0 lead which lasted through halftime and halfway through the third before Thompson placed a rocket shot past the goalie.
Shortly after, however, a rebound was placed in the SU goal, followed shortly by a goal by a defensemen going the length of the field for TCU to tie the game up at 2 apiece.
In the fourth Jones put us back up with a rocket shot, followed by another goal by Webb to give the Bucs a final margin of 4-2 with a little over 7 minutes left. It was all the Bucs and their defense needed.
While it wasn't pretty, it was a win. The Bucs realized they have some work to do as they head into next weekend's double header against UTSA and Baylor. Both teams have historically given the Bucs fits and our work is cut out for us.
Cole, Jake and the entire defense played a solid game and kept us in a position to win the game throughout.
Credit must be given to the players and coaches at TCU. Several of their players played extremely well, including their goalie. Although he won't be eligible for post-season awards, he was a difference maker and stopped numerous shots the Bucs made to keep the game close throughout. They have made leaps and bounds and the guys are playing with spirit and enjoying the game. You can see that on the field. We wish them the best of luck the rest of the season.
We would like to thank all the fans that made it out to see the game. Jeffcoat, Brent "Pasty" Wilson, and Dave Winter, along with some other alums, students, and the Webbs all made the trip to support us. We appreciate the support.

HC 1605 Energy and Climate Change and Environmental Audit CommitteesWritten evidence submitted by E.ON
Summary of Key Points
We support cuts, but timescales are unmanageable: We recognise the need to make reductions in the solar PV tariff, but the timescale to which cuts will be made is unreasonably short. The timescales have left installers with little opportunity to mitigate losses.
Contracts committed to should be honoured at current rates: Contracts already in place and agreed before the consultation was published should be allowed to be completed at the current solar PV rate to limit installers' financial exposure and customer disappointment.
Suppliers' CESP obligation is negatively impacted by changes: The proposals reduce our ability to manage effectively our supplier obligation where solar PV contracts are no longer economically viable. This could result in higher obligation costs being passed on in consumer bills.
A much smaller market will result: We would like to see a market for solar PV, but agree this should be better managed along with the development of other microgeneration markets. Our view is that the newly proposed 21p tariff will result in a much smaller market, predominately based in the south, but the 16.8p for multi-site generators is too low and is likely to close this market, thereby losing the benefits it has brought in community schemes.
Energy efficiency first, but targets must be realistic: We support the concept of introducing energy efficiency measures in the future, but believe both proposals (linking eligibility criteria to either the EPC rating or Green Deal) are unworkable and instead customers should be asked to complete basic energy efficiency measures such as loft and cavity wall insulation and heating controls.
Consumer and investor confidence dented: We are concerned that, given the number of consumers who have had to be let down due to the severity and timing of the tariff cuts, consumers will be less confident about participating in other Government schemes in the future, such as the Green Deal and the RHI. Investor confidence will also have been adversely affected by sudden changes, which may harm the ability of Government to attract finance to other schemes.
1. E.ON is one of the leading installers of solar panels in the UK. The solar PV market has continued to come under close scrutiny by Government in recent months and the inconsistent approach taken with the Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) towards solar PV is creating great uncertainty, not only in this market, but its impact is likely to be felt in other Government incentives affected by the Treasury's Control Framework for DECC Levy-Funded Spending.
Why do we support the continuation of the FiT?
2. Helping customers reduce their energy consumption is a fundamental part of E.ON's business model. We are focused on helping customers to "insulate, moderate and generate" by offering a diverse and complementary portfolio of low carbon technologies, advice and monitoring equipment which improve the energy efficiency of the property and provide better information to customers about their consumption and how they can manage it. Through a number of initiatives, E.ON is working with homeowners, businesses and social housing providers to market, sell, design, fund, install, operate and maintain microgeneration technologies, including solar electricity.
3. The FiT has played a very positive role in opening up the microgeneration market. To date we have found that most of the market interest centres on solar PV. This is because solar PV is relatively easy to install, with a low visual impact compared to some alternative technologies, and it is likely to be one of the principal ways in which the public can generate their own electricity from renewable technologies. In addition, due to the attractive tariff, it has enabled industry to bring forward innovative business models, opening up the accessibility of the solar market.
4. We recognise the need to reduce the level of the FiT to make it sustainable. We have seen some declining costs and it is right to reflect this in a tariff change. It is also important to manage PV support along with support for all microgeneration technologies. We want a range of technologies installed across the UK in the optimum locations, which helps us meet our 2020 renewable targets in a cost efficient manner, but in a way that also engages consumers on the issues.
5. We note that DECC has proposed that the marginal cost of meeting the UK's renewable energy target in technologies supported by the RO should be set at the cost of offshore wind and it would be sensible and consistent to adopt a similar approach to smaller scale technologies covered by the FIT and RHI, while allowing time for the supply chain to become sufficiently established to deliver at scale. Exceptions to this might be where technologies are still in the development phase and need higher levels of support to achieve commercial maturity.
6. It is however unreasonable to set a cut-off date which is before the end of the consultation period—six weeks' notice of such a significant change leaves companies severely exposed and risks letting down many customers. We need longer to allow existing commitments to be honoured.
The effect of the proposed changes
7. As a result of the consultation we, along with the rest of the industry, have had to take swift action to mitigate our losses and customer disappointment. For E.ON this has meant significantly scaling back our PV propositions and we expect the solar PV market ultimately to become much smaller, with fewer installations.
8. As a result of the unusual approach taken by Government with respect to the enforcement date under the consultation, the only rational option for developers to take is to treat 12 December as the cut-off date for PV installations no longer receiving the current tariff. The Government may have anticipated that prudent developers would have included appropriate change in law provisions in their contracts. However, the consequence of the exceptional approach of the consultation (where the decision on the tariff changes will occur after the 12 December reference date) has been that those change in law provisions may have been rendered ineffective where they require the change in law to have come into force before the affected party can take action. We are currently in negotiations with one local authority who is unwilling to vary the agreement to recognise the particular circumstances and, as a result, we may be forced to continue to install post-12 December (which is unviable on this particular project) in order to avoid breach and termination.
9. The timescale provides no time to complete all of our existing schemes in respect of which we already have contracts in place. As a result of the swift changes, we have had to reorganise our supply chain and that has required us, in some instances, to re-open agreements to negotiate new terms. Many of our suppliers and subcontractors, due to the spike in demand, are now requesting significant premiums to deliver and this threatens to exacerbate our losses.
10. There are a number of external factors beyond our control such as DNO approval timescales, stock lead times, mortgage lenders consent, legal cooling off periods and resourcing to complete programmes originally designed in some cases to take five months, which are constraining our ability to respond quickly to the changes proposed. As a result of these changes many of our social housing customers and domestic customer installations will not be completed. In the domestic, bought PV sales market, we have already been forced to take the decision to stop proceeding with a number of enquiries to manage customer expectations. This sort of action will have a negative impact on trying to engage consumers in the future to undertake other renewable energy and low carbon measures and is likely to lead to an increase in customer complaints as we have no choice but to stop customers progressing further through the application process due to time constraints.
11. We believe the action taken by Government to cut the tariff only six weeks after their announcement will leave us with a very significant stock liability, estimated to be approximately £3 million. This is likely to affect our view of investment risk associated with other Government incentive schemes operating within defined budgets, so it is important that Government both manages the current FiT review in a way which is sensitive to business and customer perceptions and learns the lessons for other schemes. Many customers will feel let down by this withdrawal of funding levels in such a swift manner and this may affect confidence for other similar schemes eg RHI or the Green Deal.
Timescale and existing contracts
12. We believe that DECC set a precedent in spring/summer 2011 with the fast track review for large scale PV. The consultation period ran from 18 March until 6 May (seven weeks) with changes implemented on 1 August (19 weeks from the start of the consultation). As much as we understand DECC's decision to cut the tariff rates, it is unreasonable to let customers down and leave installers open to such liabilities due to poor management of the FiT budget.
13. We understand the need to reduce the support, but would urge Government to consider allowing contracts agreed and in place on the day the consultation was published to continue at the current rate, ie grandfather existing contracts. Whilst we hope to complete some installations within the six week window, it will be impossible to deliver against all of our commitments. These contracts are typically committed to procurement lead times of two to three months. We understand that Government is likely to be concerned about fraudulent claims. One solution could be to require the company Director of the organisation in question making the claim to sign an affidavit that the PV order (contract) was committed to and in the pipeline before the consultation publication date (31 October 2011). In addition the property owner could verify that they were also in the pipeline prior to the consultation publication.
Effect on Supplier Obligations
14. Changes to the tariff will also have an impact on the likelihood of suppliers being successful in the delivery of their other obligations. Specifically there is a risk with the "Community Energy Saving Programme" (CESP), which is currently coming to towards the end of a three year programme.
15. Under this programme the installation of solar PV panels is an approved method of carbon reduction and as such many local authorities and registered social landlords have agreed programmes with suppliers to install by March 2012, with a business plan constructed around the FiT. In many cases these programmes are now being cancelled, leaving suppliers with a shortfall in their plans to discharge the obligations. With this change coming late in the programme and at short notice this will make completion of the Obligation within the previous timescale increasingly difficult to achieve.
Q1. Impact to date of Solar PV Feed-in Tariffs and the state of the solar energy market
1. The solar market in the UK has been very successful with uptake significantly exceeding Government expectations. Solar PV is an accessible technology, and for a large proportion of domestic properties planning permission does not need to be sought. There has also been significant financial innovation in the market, opening solar PV up to the wider public with rent a roof schemes, as a result of an attractive solar tariff. Businesses were keen to invest in the solar industry because of the attractive returns it provided. Given how attractive the solar industry became, it was only a matter of time before cuts were needed. It was widely recognised within the industry that the attractive tariff would absorb too much of the FiT budget and needed to be reduced. We had hoped such cuts could have been introduced earlier in a more managed way.
2. Solar PV was also able to have a role in reducing the energy cost of customers on low incomes including those defined as fuel poor.
3. Through rent-a-roof schemes, domestic customers are able to take advantage of savings on their energy bills over a substantial period of time, increasing customer engagement with their energy consumption. Through E.ON's private domestic rent-a-roof scheme, customers see on average a saving of £150 on their annual energy bills. In addition, customers potentially benefit from an increase in the value of their home through the addition of solar. This has been proven in international markets such as Australia and the United States, and has been backed by recent findings of the Energy Savings Trust. We receive very positive feedback from both our private domestic rent-a-roof sales and the social housing rent-a-roof schemes we operate.
4. We have a number of case-studies which provide insight into the wider impact and role of the solar PV market:
Mr Hobster who had solar PV installed as a result of a partnership between E.ON, Nottingham City Council and Nottingham City Homes said, "We were hoping to save around £120 a year on our electricity bills, but we may save much more. I think this month our bill has been cut my half because we've had some great weather—I hope it continues! It sounds too good to be true but I'd encourage other families in the area to snap up the chance to have solar panels fitted if their house is suitable. My wife and I were a bit worried about it at first but the installation was really quick and hassle-free."
Other residents in the same project have been prompted by the solar install to pay closer attention to their energy consumption. Mr Andrew said: "The electricity used when my wife and I were at home yesterday cost us nothing until I turned on the TV in the evening."
The scheme, which was recently completed, saw solar panels installed on almost 600 homes in the Apsley area of Nottingham. The project also meant that E.ON could work with Nottingham City Council to put 10 electricians through courses on working at heights and manual handling so that they are equipped with the knowledge they need to install and maintain solar panels.
Q2. The balance between affordability and delivering the objectives of the Solar PV Feed-in Tariffs, including factors to consider when setting the rate of small-scale Feed-in Tariffs including jobs created, emissions reductions and energy-saving behavioural change
5. Solar PV is a relatively costly low carbon technology to support in the UK, but it has been successful in engaging consumers and increasing interest in both generation of renewable electricity in customers' homes and in energy efficiency and otherwise reducing their energy consumption. The technology has also shown significant development in recent years, with ongoing technological improvements and capital costs falling. Companies have geared up to take advantage of the FiT tariff offered by Government and this wide uptake is playing a major part in driving down costs.
6. Solar PV has the potential to play a larger role in the UK renewables deployment, but a key factor of this would be to bring the cost of the technology down to a sufficient level that means it is no longer dependent on a high level of subsidy. The tariff stimulates the market to reduce costs and allow a technology that is not market ready, to become established at scale, create jobs and stimulate behavioural changes, ultimately allowing technology adoption to increase and subsidy to reduce.
7. The PV tariff does need to be reduced as costs have fallen and the affordability of the scheme is under threat. Through different targeting and messaging, we believe a smaller solar market can exist. If a small market is to continue, then projects in the south of the UK should just remain economically viable at 21p, but 16.8p for multi-site generators (MSG) is too low and does not reflect all the relevant cost factors. We believe the MSG tariff should also be 21p.
8. There are two quite different emerging propositions within the domestic solar PV market, "bought PV" (where the consumer buys the panels and receives the FIT payment), and "rent a roof" (where an MSG buys the panels and receives the FIT payment—a market created by tailoring the FiT regulations to allow re-allocation of the tariff). There are also examples of cases in the market where the FiT value and upfront capital outlay are split between an MSG and the end-consumer.
9. We strongly believe that there is a necessity to preserve both markets, each of which offers unique benefits. Ultimately, both "rent-a-roof" and "bought PV" contribute towards the UK's 2020 renewable and carbon reduction targets, and Government's aim to connect consumers with their energy consumption. Rent a roof can be very relevant to different customer segments, who cannot afford the capital outlay.
10. The current structure of the FiT allowed companies like E.ON to provide "rent a roof" packages to enable customers to access energy savings which they otherwise would be unable to access. In the social housing sector this extends to some of the most deprived areas, helping to reduce tenants' energy bills, provide energy efficiency advice and to fund training for locally unemployed people.
11. We particularly believe that the "rent-a-roof" model has a substantial role to play in engendering customer engagement, making solar PV visible and accessible to the wider mass market, including those customers who otherwise could not afford a system.
12. The rent a roof mechanism operating in the social housing sector means that the rent a roof payment is offered to the registered social landlord and the energy savings are passed onto the tenant. This is vital in a sector which otherwise would not be served due to the lack of affordability of the technology for the tenant.
13. The level of additional cost incurred in setting up a rent-a-roof scheme and effectively servicing the end-customer is significant. Whilst overall in the solar PV market we have seen substantial improvements in prices of panels over the last 12 months, it must be noted that panels make up just one of a number of elements of the market price of a solar PV installation. Other considerations include inverter cost, labour cost, scaffolding, cost of sale, survey, design and conversion rates. Whilst MSGs may experience some economies of scale in comparison with an individual consumer, there are additional costs to be considered for MSGs, including financing costs, metering and monitoring and portfolio insurance. In addition MSGs do not benefit from the reduction in energy costs. All these factors should be a consideration when setting the tariff rate.
14. Further, when reviewing how to set the appropriate tariff, consideration should be given to the effect this indecisive action is having on the industry and impact to existing jobs. The solar industry employs thousands of people and a number of these will now be in jeopardy. If the tariff is set at the proposed low rate, Government could consider offer training grants or support to allow people to be retrained for what is coming under RHI and Green Deal to help the people they are forcing into redundancy now, and to mitigate the concerns of companies wanting to participate in the Green Deal on an ongoing basis.
Q3. The way in which the Government has managed the Solar PV Feed-in Tariff, the impact this has had to date, including the management of the Consultation
15. As noted above, we support the need for change, but we are disappointed this did not happen sooner and in a more manageable and controlled way. The timescale for the changes is unreasonable and leaves insufficient time to unwind from existing contracts, leaving companies open to significant liabilities with no or limited ability to manage this risk.
16. This new tariff level will have a significant impact on the economics of our products and project proposals, and as discussed in response to question 2 we have already had to close down our domestic offering. We have also invested heavily in our own recruitment and supply chain to support what we viewed as a growing market.
17. We have committed to installing solar panels on up to 10,000 social houses (18MW generation) in the pipeline and contracts were placed three months ago for the solar panels for 8MW of this when panel costs were higher than the prices we are starting to see in the market today. If the FiT cut were to progress to the timetable proposed, we estimate that we would lose between £2–£3 million in inventory costs as well as jeopardising some 425 local jobs and letting many customers down.
18. As noted above, in the domestic, bought PV sales market, we have already been forced to stop proceeding with a number of enquiries to manage customer expectations. This will have a negative impact on engaging consumers to undertake other renewable energy and low carbon measures.
19. It is unacceptable to set a cut-off date which is before the end of the consultation period. We believe sufficient time should be provided for companies to unwind from existing contacts.
20. Government could consider grandfathering existing contracts at the current FiT rate, using the 31 October consultation publication date as the cut off point. We ask that Government provides this exemption for individuals and organisations that can demonstrate that they contracted for their PV panels before the consultation was announced, but are unable to have them installed before the rates change.
21. We also ask that Government commit to consult more closely with business on timelines as well as policy content for future changes.
Q4. Affordability of Solar Photovoltaic energy versus other renewable energy (given the overall levy-funded cap for energy bills) and the impact of Feed-in Tariffs on energy bills
22. Whilst solar PV is a relatively costly technology for application in the UK given the limited levels of solar radiation, it has a potentially useful role to play in meeting the UK's renewable energy target, given the potential for reducing PV generation costs and its relative ease of deployment compared to some alternative renewable technologies. As noted in response to Question 2 above, it also reduces customers' exposure to rising electricity bills and goes someway to making them more energy aware. However, it is evident that a reduction in the tariff was needed both in the light of declining costs and to ensure the available budget agreed between HM Treasury and DECC was also available for other technologies eligible for FITs with potentially lower costs.
Q5. Experience of similar incentive mechanisms for renewables in other countries
23. Experience in Australia is relevant and similar to the UK. The Australian Government reduced the solar PV FiT from $0.60/kWh to $0.25 because the 100 MW cap for scheme was reached earlier than planned date of 2024. The impact of this was consistent in all Australian states, with a reduction in residential sales of 80% because organisations were not given sufficient notice on Premium FiT closure, with each state managing the closure differently. A number of major manufacturers went into receivership and solar retailers are struggling, with reports of businesses downsizing. One of the major solar retailers, Solar Shop, also went into receivership. The lessons from this are that, as far as possible, the available budget or cap on take-up should be consistent with the level of incentive provided by the FIT set, and that the transition to a lower level of support needs to be managed in a way which provides sufficient time for suppliers to adjust.
24. In Germany they have a system of predetermined annual tariff degression for renewables in an effort to reflect falling costs. Given the risk that the predetermined degression rates may depart from actual costs, Germany has more recently introduced "responsive degression" schemes for solar PV. In this design, the rate of degression is adjusted according to the rate of market growth. One of the reasons for the success of the policy in bringing forward investments is that the German framework has fostered a high level of investor certainty by framing its FIT policy as a central part of a long-term strategy to meet its overall objective of progressively increasing the proportion of renewables in the total energy mix. Long-term continuity of policy objectives will also be important in supporting investment in a UK context.

Fifty years ago in her book Silent Spring, Carson argued that pesticides and other chemicals would increase cancer rates; they have actually gone down despite increased life expectancy. Carson argued that chemicals would reduce environmental quality; indicators have actually improved almost across the board, and high-yield farming feeds more people while leaving more habitat for wildlife. Carson argued that chemicals would increase food-borne illnesses; again, they have gone down.

Description: The Greek Tragedy in New Translations series is based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves, or who work in collaboration with poets, can properly re-create the celebrated and timeless tragedies of the great Greek writers. These new translations are more than faithful to the original text, going beyond the literal meaning in order to evoke the poetic intensity and rich metaphorical texture of the Greek language. Euripides was one of the most popular and controversial of all the Greek tragedians, and his plays are marked by an independence of thought, ingenious dramatic devices, and a subtle variety of register and mood. Medea, a story of betrayal and vengeance, is also an excellent example of the prominence that Euripides gave his female characters. This new translation does full justice to the lyricism of Euripides original work, while a new introduction provides a guide to the play,complete with interesting details about the traditions and social issues that influenced Euripides's world.

Euripides, one of the three great Greek tragedians was born in Attica probably in 485 B.C. of well-to-do parents. In his youth he cultivated gymnastic pursuits and studied philosophy and rhetoric. Soon after he received recognition for a play that he had written, Euripides left Athens for the court of Archelaus, king of Macedonia. In his tragedies, Euripides represented individuals not as they ought to be but as they are. His excellence lies in the tenderness and pathos with which he invested many of his characters. Euripides' attitude toward the gods was iconoclastic and rationalistic; toward humans-notably his passionate female characters-his attitude was deeply sympathetic. In his dramas, Euripides separated the chorus from the action, which was the first step toward the complete elimination of the chorus. He used the prologue as an introduction and explanation. Although Euripides has been charged with intemperate use of the deus ex machina, by which artifice a god is dragged in abruptly at the end to resolve a situation beyond human powers, he created some of the most unforgettable psychological portraits. Fragments of about fifty-five plays survive; some were discovered as recently as 1906. Among his best-known plays are Alcestis (438 B.C.), Medea and Philoctetes (431 B.C.), Electra (417 B.C.), Iphigenia in Tauris (.413 B.C.), The Trojan Women (415 B.C.), and Iphigenia in Aulis Iphigenia (c.405 B.C.). Euripides died in Athens in 406. Shortly after his death his reputation rose and has never diminished.

Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger today was joined by Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and Jeffrey Rivest, President and CEO, University of Maryland Medical Center as he announced $2.4 million to support new state-of-the-art operating suites in a major expansion of the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center.
The University of Maryland Medical Center will build a new, state-of-the-art building at the corner of Lombard and Penn Streets in Baltimore, connected to the existing Shock Trauma Center and Weinberg buildings. The building will house 64 new and replacement critical care beds, 10 new operating rooms and expanded adult and pediatric Emergency Department services. It will also include a new National Trauma and Emergency Training Center to be at the forefront of advancing the care of trauma patients, educating both civilian and military health care professionals.
"Shock Trauma has been savings lives, including my own after a terrible car crash, while educating our military medics for the past 20 years," Congressman Ruppersberger said. "Now it is operating at double capacity and these funds will support a sorely-needed expansion. I am proud that Shock Trauma will be able to continue and strengthen its mission to provide the most technologically-advanced care possible for Marylanders "" and the world "" for decades to come."
"I am proud that we are able to help bring quality emergency care to the people of Baltimore," said Congressman Cummings. "In an area that so badly needs their services, Shock Trauma has been operating well over capacity for too long. The improvements these funds will provide are critical for helping maintain the quality of emergency and traumatic care that people throughout Maryland have come to expect."
"We greatly appreciate this funding and the tremendous, ongoing support by Congressman Ruppersberger, Congressman Cummings, and the entire Maryland Delegation," said Jeffrey A. Rivest, President and CEO of the University of Maryland Medical Center. "This appropriation will enable us to meet the growing need for the highest level of trauma and critical care for Maryland residents and also expand our ability to train trauma doctors and nurses, along with military health care professionals, through our partnership with the U.S. Air force."
The funds were included in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2010, under the budget for the U.S. Air Force, which has a large training program for military doctors and nurses who rotate in and out of Shock Trauma each month. The program, called C-STARS, improves the readiness of our nation's military medics. With the approval from the Maryland Healthcare Commission, the University of Maryland Medical Center hopes to break ground on the new building this spring and open in 2013.

I don't know if their hair is gray or if it's the beginning of mold, but why not close review threads after 30 or 60 days? It seems to me that if someone is working on their site, they should have their answers by then.
Today, I looked at one in design reviews which was posted in January and had a new "reply" today. If I was working on something last January, hopefully it would be finished by now!
It was brought up previously but alas it didn't really get very far, perhaps it's time to revisit the issue as the fluff is getting pretty bad in some places
That's a very good suggestion and I'll bring it forward. Nice to see you around here

Mendax is derived from splendide mendax, which is from Horace and means "nobly untruthful."
The notion expanded to denote a personal spirit and protector by the time Horace and Ovid wrote in the first century BC.
One of them, a private group called "Processing Horace Mann," ballooned to more than 1,400 members within 25 hours of its genesis.
It sends a message to the world about what Horace Mann was meant to be—and hopefully what it will become.
Captain Horace Frank said officers are already accustomed to wearing latex gloves after an outbreak of MRSA a few years ago.
And Horace, too, for that instant was not like the Horace of old times.
It may well be said that they had really in their heart the s triplex of which Horace speaks.
Riches take wings, Horace, and a large family and unfortunate investments supplied them to mine.
"I reckon I won't if I don't want to," said Horace, working the flag out of his cap.
Then all three laughed, although Horace but a moment before had looked very grave, and now he was quite white.
masc. proper name, from French, from Latin Horatius, name of a Roman gens. The poet was Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-8 B.C.E.). The form Horatio is influenced by the Italian version of the name, Orazio.
An ancient Roman poet, known for his odes. Horace insisted that poetry should offer both pleasure and instruction.

Hewlett-Packard re-invents itself
By BBC News Online's Steve Schifferes in Silicon Valley
Hewlett-Packard is the company that created Silicon Valley.
It was founded in 1939 by two Stanford graduate students, David Packard and Bill Hewlett, in a garage in Palo Alto.
It has a history of innovation, with its engineers inventing everything from the pocket calculator to the first ink-jet printers, to hand-held computers.
And it has grown to be a corporation with nearly $50bn in sales and 90,000 employees worldwide - 13,000 at its sprawling corporate headquarters located just south of the Stanford University campus.
But now, under its new chief executive Carly Fiorina, the company it facing its toughest challenge yet - to re-invent itself.
Carly Fiorina wants to radically restructure the company, eliminating the decentralised and collaborative structures created by the founders.
Instead she wants to focus on just four divisions - two developing its key products, computers and printers, and two for its business and retail customers - in order to boost profits and sales by 15% to 20% a year.
It is a radical vision, and one made more difficult by the rapid economic slowdown.
Ms Fiorina was one of the chief executives who met President-elect Bush at an economic summit in December, and warned him of the sharp decline in sales and orders.
Now company strategy vice-president John Brennan told the BBC that it would not be "immune" to the effects of that downturn.
That slowdown will be reflected in Hewlett-Packard's results which are out on Thursday, and makes it harder for the company to reach its ambitious growth targets.
And it could be reflected in the company's share price, which has already plummeted by nearly half, from $68 to $34, since the high-tech boom cooled.
Fear of eclipse
Hewlett-Packard's radical shake-up is driven by the fear that, without sharpening its competitive edge, it could "slowly decline into mediocrity and irrelevance" where it could not fund its R&D investment, according to Mr Brennan.
Mr Brennan, a former management consultant who has been with the company for nine months, saw the speed of change in the industry at first hand when he briefly worked in a dot.com start-up company.
He says the company must learn to adapt, and refocus on branding and marketing as well as its traditional engineering emphasis on invention.
He wants HP to be the market leader in all its major sectors, from printers to personal computers to the servers that are used by companies.
But he admits that the change has not been easy, especially for a company with a previous history of success.
Critics of the new management plan say that the new structure could lead to less, not more coordination, after separating sales from product development.
And they worry that the new management structure places too many burdens on Ms Fiorina herself.
HP's plan to expand into e-business solutions was thwarted by their failed bid to buy PricewaterhouseCoopers' consulting arm - but the company still sees its future growth coming from software.
This is especially targeted at areas such as networking systems which allow different devices to talk to each other - a crowded market where no clear leader has yet emerged.
Bold visions
HP is still investing $2.7bn each year in research and development, and in Hewlett-Packard Labs chief scientist R. Stanley Williams is working on a radical new way to make computer chips, growing molecules just a few atoms thick to make switches and wires.
Sitting in one of HP's many cubicles, and dressed informally, Mr Williams explains that this nanotechnology could replace the silicon chip in ten years time when it reaches its physical limits and cannot be made faster.
The scientists have also found a way to avoid the problem of defects by making the chips correct themselves.
They say that they have now built a 16 bit microprocessor- the equivalent in power to 1970s computers - using the new technology.
In the spirit of invention that is at the heart of Silicon Valley's success, HP is also sharing some of this technology with other companies like Motorola and Siemens, betting that spreading the technology will create a market for the product sooner.
It is a sign of the company's commitment to a very long-term future.
World visions
But HP also has another bold vision - to market its computers and other products to the four billion people in the developing world who lack access to the internet.
The company plans to sell or donate $1bn worth of products this year to poor countries through its world e-inclusion initiative, and is trying to find local partners in 1000 villages worldwide.
It already has telecentre projects in Costa Rica and Bangladesh, where it is working with the Grameen bank that makes low-cost loans to villagers.
Ms Fiorina is a member of the dot.com task force set up by the G8 Summit last year to try and bridge the digital divide, and she firmly believes that future growth opportunities for the IT industry lie in the developing world.
There is no doubt that Hewlett-Packard still aspires to be a progressive and innovative company with a long-term vision.
But it will be the success or failure in implementing its short-term restructuring - in an increasingly difficult economic climate - that will determine whether it gets to chance to put those long-term visions into practice.

Are there any guys who are visual effects compositors/artists, not motion designers here? Just curious, because I am not a motion graphics designer, my primary specialization is VFX compositing.
Me too.. But in recent times i'm more in to motion design.
I really like such a direction as VFX and I'm doing it, but I think it is not very sold on the market VH
I mean not only VFX at Videohive, but people who are compositors first of all and who get the basic part of their income doing VFX.
VProxy, any chance to have a look at your reel?
I'm VFX compositor too. but do some motion grafics templates =)
I think there are a lot of VFX designers, but as long as this market segment is weak demand
I do compositing, 2d&3d tracking
Artem200800 said
an example of my work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhSnILWN840&feature=plcp
That's perfect, very seamless compositing.
Here is my latest VFX reel: http://vladimirzharov.ru/showreel.html

Bodies of 49 army recruits found near Baquba
Page Tools
Iraqi police said today that 49 bodies of soldiers from the new Iraqi army were found south of Baquba.
Gen Walid al-Azzawi, commander of the Diyala provincial police, said the bodies were discovered yesterday in an area 50km south of Baquba. They were laid out in four rows each, with about 12 bodies in each row, he said.
"After inspection, we found out that they were shot after being ordered to lay down on the earth," he said.
A US military source in the region confirmed the incident, but said there appeared to be fewer dead Iraqi soldiers, around 30 to 35.
Al-Azzawi said they were all members of the new Iraqi army and were training in Kirkush military camp in Baladruz.
Police said insurgents appeared to have intercepted the soldiers as they were travelling home on leave since many were from the southern provinces.
Police and Iraqi National Guard officers said 37 bodies had been recovered yesterday and another 12 this morning on a road near the village of Mandali, near the Iranian border.

Hello! Here is my first wedding cake, if you don't count a few sheet cakes I did 15 years ago for one wedding. They wanted 150 cupcakes and a small three tier cake, but the night before called and were worried there wouldn't be enough, so we doubled the size of the cake. A little stressful, but turned out to be ok.
The cake is from a mix (sorry) but the icing is white chocolate mousseline buttercream…the most fabulous icing on earth. (Mousseline in general)
Yes, those are foil doilies on the corners of the bottom tier…I originally made a really nice cake board with them for the smaller cake, and didn't want to waste them.
Thanks to everyone on this forum, it's great.

THE FIRST meeting of a neighbourhood watch scheme was held last Saturday in Creekmoor.
Police and Crime Commissioner for Dorset, Martyn Underhill, joined residents, local councillors and the committee of the association to celebrate the 35th Neighbourhood Watch Scheme created in the county within the past year.
However, Cllr Judy Butt, ward councillor for Creekmoor, told residents that it had not been created because of proposals for a travellers' site offering temporary stopping places at Marshes End.
She added: "This neighbourhood watch is very timely, but one thing that Creekmoor do not want to be accused of is that, if we do have the temporary stopping places, the scheme was set up because of it and we can say it wasn't."
Christine Cross, chairman of Creekmoor Residents' Association, said: "We are looking to meet residents and get together, become more neighbourly and represent the local area, which includes finding people to represent their roads for the Neighbourhood Watch Scheme."
For more information on the Residents' Association, contact Christine on 07709 267725 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
A residents' meeting is being held today at Creekmoor Community Centre, at 5pm, organised by the local councillors to discuss the proposed transit site for travellers at Marshes End.

("PCC") (NYSE: PCP) for all of the outstanding common stock of TIMET for $16.50 per share in cash. The TIMET Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of a special committee of the Board consisting of independent directors, has recommended that stockholders accept the offer, which represents a premium of 36% over the 30-day average of TIMET shares and a 44% premium to the closing price of TIMET common stock on November 8, 2012. The Schedule 14D-9 Solicitation/Recommendation Statement explains in detail the factors considered by the Board of Directors and the special committee in reaching its recommendation. The Company has previously announced that stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 7, 2012 would be entitled to the quarterly dividend of $0.075 per share of TIMET common stock, payable on December 19, 2012.

I've remain bullish on the U.S. dollar, but if you think that only matters to currency traders, you're wrong. There's a strong relationship between major world currencies and big-name stocks like Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX). In fact, I think a lot of the irrational move up in Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) stems from currency activity. Watch for my analysis of what the U.S. dollar could be telling us for what's ahead.

CISPA detractors include the American Library Association, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the ACLU and Rep. Ron Paul, the Texas Republican and presidential candidate, who said the proposed bill represents the "latest assault on Internet freedom." Paul is not alone as more than 750,000 concerned Americans signed an anti-CISPA petition championed by the Republican Liberty Caucus.
While most Americans pay little attention to online privacy issues, most would be shocked to learn that an estimated 30,000 privacy inquires are made on unsuspecting Americans each year via the antiquated Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), which became law in 1986. CISPA would cast a wider net essentially unlocking all privacy settings as deemed appropriate by the government. The bill reads in part: "Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a self-protected entity may, for cyber security purposes - (i) use cyber security systems to identify and obtain cyber threat information to protect the rights and property of such self-protected entity; and (ii) share such cyber threat information with any other entity, including the Federal Government..."
The one word in the bill that has caused the most debate is "notwithstanding" which would override wiretap laws, corporate privacy policies, gun laws, educational record laws and medical records, among others. Those in favor of CISPA, including Facebook, claim this law will allow companies and the government to work in unison to identify and tackle "bad actor" cyber threats preying on private information.
"The concern is that companies will share sensitive personal information with the government in the name of protecting cyber security. Facebook has no intention of doing this," wrote Joel Kaplan, Facebook's vice president for U.S. Public Policy. "We've been engaging directly with key lawmakers as well as industry and consumer groups about potential changes to the bill to help address privacy concerns."
Kaplan shared his letter via a Facebook posting that garnered nearly 350 responses, most of which were negative. "I will close my account and strongly recommend that everyone I meet closes their accounts if this bill passes," Mike Rupar wrote. Christopher Bosdol added, "Facebook, stay out of politics. Really, you have no right speaking for the people."

This is one of my favorite art direction projects at Imago Advertising Agency, Zagreb.
It was a campaign created in 2007 for a Raiffesen Consulting, with the task to advertise Raiffeisen Bank credit cards in a market already saturated with credit cards.
The solution: The advertising strategy was based on intense media exposure of Vlatka Pokos, a Croatian celebrity in the process of a very public divorce and famous for her love for labeled clothes. By laughing at her own expense she showed that shopping doesn't solve all your problems but with RBA credit cards it can be much more pleasant. It raised a quite of media storm with publicity worth millions and priceless WOM helped the promotion of the product immensely.
The sale was 73% higher than planned and it won us some awards. More infos at the end.
I get the chance to art direct and design all the visuals - print ads, tv, web campaign.
The team on the project was the best - Igor Poturic, Creative Director and Iva Kaligaric, Account Manager.
These are the print ads: First on the left was created for the first phase of the campaign. It says also Shopping is the best therapy and Let's put some clothes on Vlatkica. Second one was much more product descriptive.
These are cuts from the TV commercial video. It's a song video with very funny words written by our Creative Director, Igor Poturic. You can see the whole thing here with English titles.
The whole campaign created a storm of media attention before the launch with you tube clips and her blogging activity and after the launch. Just a part of media clips from Croatian newspapers and magazines.
It was a happy ending for all of us.

National's car park compliance catastrophe
David Cunliffe
Revenue Spokesperson
11 March 2013
National's car park compliance catastrophe
National's proposed car park fringe benefit tax is a nightmare of unnecessary compliance costs, gaping avoidance loopholes, worker safety issues, and cost transfers, Labour's Revenue spokesperson David Cunliffe says.
The Government is proposing to apply a 50 per cent fringe benefit tax to all employer-provided car parks in the Auckland and Wellington central business districts through an amendment to the Taxation (Livestock Valuation, Assets Expenditure, and Remedial Matters) Bill.
"The compliance costs of the proposal are ridiculous," David Cunliffe said.
"A recent NZIER review found that it was 'not clear at all from the RIS [Regulatory Impact Statement] that the proposed solutions are superior to the status quo.'
"For each car park businesses will have to identify whether the space will be used by employees, employers or customers for various periods across a day. It will be especially complex where car parks are shared or 'hot parked'."
"The Government's proposal will have a particularly harsh impact on shift workers who operate outside a 10pm to 6am window, such as cleaners. It also raises safety concerns, particularly for female employees, for whom access to safe workplace parking after normal business hours is, sadly, a modern-day reality.
"The fact that the National/United Future Government would even consider a measure this difficult for business and workers to administer – and all for only $17 million per annum revenue - shows they are really scraping the bottom on the revenue barrow in a last desperate attempt to get the Government's failing books into surplus.
"New Zealanders are rapidly tiring of this disappointing, go-nowhere administration. Instead of taxing car parks, Kiwis want to see the Government coming up with a plan for growing jobs in our economy."

As Hindus, I think we have a unique call to help others. Unlike the religions of the west, the religions of "the book," we believe that every living creature has God within it. Our true Self, our true nature as human beings is divine. We treat others as we would like to be treated because that "other" is us.

text: ISLAMABAD - Senior officials of law enforcement agencies fear that PTI's long march may give an opportunity to militants to relocate to the country's other parts."The militants who, somehow, have escaped the ongoing military offensive in North Waziristan, are believed to be hiding in some parts of Khyber Pakhunkhwa. And they in the garb of PTI marchers may sneak into Islamabad," a senior official of a law enforcement agency told The Nation on condition of anonymity. Other well informed officials revealed that a large number of militants are believed to be hiding in various remote parts of KPK and covertly relocating to well settled areas of Karachi and Punjab. "We have arrested a dozen terrorists who were trying to flee to other parts of the country. However, law enforcement agencies cannot guarantee if militants get on board with thousands political workers of KPK who intend to join Imran Khan's long march," a higher official of KPK police told The Nation. In Islamabad, law enforcement agencies are conducting a search operation to nab militants and outlaws. Teams of Islamabad police along with Rangers had rounded up 50 suspects on Wednesday last. As the capital city prepares to host mega event of 'Independence Day' celebrations, the law enforcement agencies have become vigilant and started search operation against suspects.This news was published in The Nation newspaper.

Carnival Conquest - Western Caribbean: Carnival Conquest Cruise Review by bubbaco
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Conquest - Western Caribbean
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Galveston
I'm not going to spend alot of time talking about the ship. I thought it was lovely, what I thought a cruise ship should look like. We spend alot of time on our balcony and didn't do all of the shows. Our room steward was Pedro. He was always friendly, the room was always clean and we always had ice for our drinks(we brought some wine and stuff with us) Anak was our waiter by the pool. He enjoyed that my DH was a "Bubba". We had 8:30 seating at a table for 2 in the Renoir dining room and had the best wait staff. Katie and Joel were funny and sweet and we got extra attention when other tables didn't show for dinner. If we go back, I'll ask for them. We already miss you Katie and Joel! Ports: First stop Jamaica. My DH and I went to Jamaica on our honeymoon and I was excited that we would be there on our anniversary! We bought a shuttle wristband for $12pp that made a circle to the market, City Centre and Margaritaville. I've heard the horror stories and I hate that people have had bad experiences here. We stopped first at the market and even though it was a very poor area, the people were very nice and if we didn't want to look in their booth or buy something, they didn't push. We were even given a couple of trinkets as gifts for our anniversary. My suggestion for Jamaica. Don't wear jewelry, take only as much money as you are willing to loose, and buy a disposable camera. And be friendly to the people and they will be friendly in return. I will be more careful in the future too. City Centre was like shopping at a convenience store in the US. No Jamaicans in these stores, very disappointing. They charge $3 for a Red Stripe! Ask any Jamaican and they will get you one cheaper!
This is where we started our "Margaritaville Tour" We had lunch and drinks and yes, Margaritaville is very expensive, but this was our splurge since we didn't do any excursions. They gave us a wristband for a free margarita in Grand Cayman the next day. In Grand Cayman we did alot window shopping but did find a small shop on a side street that let us make a phone call home with a purchase. So we got a rum cake and checked in with the kids at home. That was nice! On to Margaritaville (for me the best of the three that we went to) to get our free one. We had lunch(always good in all 3 stops)had some more drinks and alot of fun. Then we got our coupon for a free one at Cozumel. at Cozumel we did some shopping (mostly junky gift for the kids) and off to Margaritaville! We got our last free one and had lunch. We took our first dip in the water(it rained in Grand Cayman and on and off on Cozumel)and headed back to the ship. We spent our last day at sea just lounging around the pool and relaxing. On the morning of debarkation we waited on our balcony for our tag to be called, we were in no hurry. We were called about 9:20, we took the stairs to avoid the crowd waiting for elevators, met no line to get off, and a very short line at Customs. We found EZ Cruise and were in our car by 10:00am. I had no major complaints. A few charges that were on our bill. This ship was very crowded. And a couple of people in the gift shops and in the booth where you buy your photos were not friendly. I'll be back with my kids next time. I hope that something can be done in Jamaica, I would hate for it to be taken off of the itinerary, but I would understand, I wouldn't want my family to be in danger. Less

Degree Options
In addition to the Bachelor of Science, you may also complete a degree option and have that option noted on your transcripts. The available options are:
Data Science Option
Data Science is an emerging interdisciplinary field that works to extract knowledge or insight from data. It combines fields such as information science, computer science, statistics, design, and social science.
Human-Computer Interaction Option
The iSchool's work in human-computer interaction (HCI) strives to make information and computing useful, usable, and accessible to all. The Informatics HCI option allows you to blend your technical skills and expertise with a broader perspective on how design and development work impacts users.
Courses explore the design, construction, and evaluation of interactive technologies for use by individuals, groups, and organizations, and the social implications of these systems. This work encompasses user interfaces, accessibility concerns, new design techniques and methods for interactive systems and collaboration. Coursework also examines the values implicit in the design and development of technology.
Information Architecture Option
Information architecture (IA) is a crucial component in the development of successful Web sites, software, intranets, and online communities. Architects structure the underlying information and its presentation in a logical and intuitive way so that people can put information to use.
As an Informatics major with an IA option, you will master the skills needed to organize and label information for improved navigation and search. You will build frameworks to effectively collect, store and deliver information. You will also learn to design the databases and XML storehouses that drive complex and interactive websites, including the navigation, content layout, personalization, and transactional features of the site.
The Information Assurance and Cybersecurity Option
Information Assurance and Cybersecurity (IAC) is the practice of creating and managing safe and secure systems. It is crucial for organizations public and private, large and small. In the IAC option, you will be equipped with the knowledge to create, deploy, use, and manage systems that preserve individual and organizational privacy and security.
This tri-campus concentration leverages the strengths of the Information School, the Computing and Software Systems program at UW Bothell, and the Institute of Technology at UW Tacoma. After a course in the technical, policy, and management foundations of IAC, you may take electives at any campus to learn such specialties as information assurance policy, secure coding, or networking and systems administration.
Student-Designed Concentration
Students may choose to develop their own concentration, with approval from the academic adviser. Student-designed concentrations are created out of a list of approved courses and also result in the Bachelor of Science degree.

Two people were killed and 12 others were injured when gunmen opened fire on mourners outside a Miami funeral home on Friday, leaving a scene that one witness described as "a war zone," reported The Washington Post. The shooting happened at about 9:35 p.m. as services were taking place at the Funeraria Latina Emanuel, about 10 miles north of the city's downtown.
More from GlobalPost: 911 tapes of Trayvon Martin's shooting have been released
One of the victims died at the scene while the other succumbed to his injuries at a nearby hospital. Their identities were not immediately released, but authorities did say they were 43 and 27 years old, according to CNN. Those wounded included a 5-year-old girl, who was transported to the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital and was listed in stable condition today.
The funeral was for Morvin Andre, 21, of North Miami, who was buried Saturday morning at Southern Memorial Park next to the funeral home, reported The Miami Herald. Andre was killed March 16 after he tried to jump 22-and-a-half feet from the fourth floor of the Aventura Mall parking garage. He had been in pursuit by Bloomingdale's loss prevention employees. When Andre fell he landed on his feet, but then fell back and hit his head. His death was ruled a suicide.
The Miami Herald also reported that the shooting broke out because of a dispute between gang members.
