Configure Exchange task synchronization in SharePoint Server 2013
Published: August 21, 2012
Summary: Configure Exchange Server 2013 and SharePoint Server 2013 for task synchronization by using the SharePoint Server 2013 Task Synchronization feature.
Applies to: SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise SharePoint Server 2013, Exchange 2013
This article describes how to configure Task Synchronization in SharePoint Server 2013 and Exchange Server 2013. Task Synchronization allows users to synchronize SharePoint Server 2013 and Project Server tasks with Exchange Server and have them appear in Outlook 2013.
Note: |
You may be looking for information on Exchange Server OOF integration with Project Server 2013. If so, refer to article Exchange Server calendar OOF integration with Project Server 2013. |
Before you begin
Before you begin this operation, review the following information about prerequisites:
Task Synchronization requires that user profile synchronization be configured in the farm. For information about configuring user profile synchronization, see Plan user profiles and identities (SharePoint Server 2013), and Manage user profile synchronization in SharePoint Server 2013.
Task Synchronization requires that the work management service application be configured in the farm. For information about creating the work management service application, see New-SPWorkManagementServiceApplication
Task Synchronization requires Exchange Server 2013.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a requirement for web applications that are deployed in scenarios that support server-to-server authentication and app authentication. This is such a scenario. As a prerequisite for configuring Task Synchronization, the computer that is running SharePoint Server must have SSL configured. For more information, see Create claims-based web applications in SharePoint 2013 and follow the steps for creating an SSL site collection and server certificate.
Note: You may need to import the SSL certificate from the SharePoint Server 2013 web application. This is only necessary if the certificate is not trusted for the API endpoints (such as a Self-SSL Certificate in a lab environment).
To import the untrusted SSL certificate from SharePoint Server 2013:
Open Internet Explorer on the Exchange server and navigate to the SSL SharePoint site https://<SP_FQDN>, where <SP_FQDN> is the URL to the SSL site.
Accept to trust the certificate by clicking Continue to website.
Click Certificate Error info in Internet Explorer next to the Address bar, and then click View Certificates.
Select Install Certificate and then select Place all certificates in the following store.
Select the checkbox to show physical stores.
Install the certificate to Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Local Computer.
In order to perform these procedures, you must be a member of the SharePoint and Exchange Server administrator groups and have an operational Exchange Server with end-user mailboxes.
Note: |
Because SharePoint 2013 runs as websites in Internet Information Services (IIS), administrators and users depend on the accessibility features that browsers provide. SharePoint 2013 supports the accessibility features of supported browsers. For more information, see the following resources: |
Configure SharePoint for Task Synchronization in SharePoint Server 2013
The first step in configuring Task Synchronization is to install the Exchange Server Web Services API on each web front-end server in the SharePoint Server 2013 farm.
Install Exchange Web Services API on SharePoint Server
Download EWSManagedAPI.msi from the Microsoft Download Center (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35371) and save it to a folder on the application server.
Open a command window as administrator and navigate to the folder where you saved EWSManagedAPI.msi.
Run the following command:
msiexec /i EwsManagedApi.msi addlocal="ExchangeWebServicesApi_Feature,ExchangeWebServicesApi_Gac"
Reset IIS from the command line by typing IISReset.
Configure Exchange Server 2013 for Task Synchronization
The next step is to establish OAuth trust and service permission on Exchange Server.
Establish OAuth Trust and Service Permission on Exchange
On the Exchange server, open Windows PowerShell and change to the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Scripts" directory.
Run the following script:
.\Configure-EnterprisePartnerApplication.ps1 -ApplicationType Sharepoint -AuthMetadataUrl https://<SP_FQDN>/_layouts/15/metadata/json/1
Where <SP_FQDN> is the URL to the root site collection.

Before the
Public Service Commission of the State of Mississippi
Docket to Consider Competition in the
Provision of Retail Electric Service
Docket No. 96-UA-389
Sub-docket: Cost-of-Service Study and
Detailed Proposal Regarding a Transco
Comment of the Staff of the
Bureau of Economics
of the Federal Trade Commission(1)
August 28, 1998
I. Introduction and Summary
The staff of the Bureau of Economics of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) appreciates this opportunity to present its views concerning the Transco proposal of Entergy Mississippi, Inc. (Entergy) to the Public Service Commission of the State of Mississippi (PSCM).
The FTC is an independent administrative agency responsible for maintaining competition and safeguarding the interests of consumers. The staff of the FTC often analyzes regulatory or legislative proposals that may affect competition or the efficiency of the economy. In the course of this work, as well as in antitrust research, investigation, and litigation, the staff applies established principles and recent developments in economic theory and empirical analysis to competition issues.
The staff of the FTC has a longstanding interest in regulation and competition in energy markets, including proposals to reform regulation of the electric power and natural gas industries. The staff has submitted numerous comments concerning these issues at both the state and federal levels.(2) Moreover, the FTC has reviewed proposed mergers involving electric and gas utility companies.
Entergy proposes to establish a for-profit, independent transmission company affiliate (Transco) that would manage and operate the transmission lines currently owned by Entergy.(3) Entergy would accomplish this by functionally unbundling(4) its generation assets from its transmission assets and placing the transmission assets in a separate affiliate, which would continue to be owned by Entergy. Transmission fees charged by Transco would be subject to rate caps administered by FERC. Entergy describes various institutional arrangements and regulatory constraints to promote independence of its proposed Transco affiliate, including appointment of a trustee to oversee the transmission assets transferred by Entergy to Transco. Entergy also provides examples of specific efficiencies of vertical integration between the management and operation of the transmission grid and indicates that these efficiencies would be lost under an ISO that only manages the grid.(5)
This comment raises several issues about competition and efficiency that the PSCM may wish to address in its review of Entergy's Transco proposal. Entergy's proposal may pose potential vertical and horizontal threats to competition. It also may present potential efficiency benefits, but these likely could be obtained by an ISO that both would manage and operate the transmission grid. As an alternative to Entergy's proposed Transco, the PSCM may wish to consider an ISO structure that would both manage and operate the transmission grid, so as to avoid the potential vertical and horizontal threats to competition posed by Transco while capturing the vertical integration advantages identified anecdotally by Entergy.
II. Entergy Continues to Have Incentives to Vertically Discriminate Against, and Raise Costs of, its Competitors in Electricity Sales (Including Generation)
Entergy proposes a wide variety of rules to establish the independence of Transco, including an independent trustee arrangement. The proposed arrangements may be inadequate for the same reasons that we expressed reservations about FERC's open access rules in our Open Access Comment.(6) Behavioral rules leave in place the basic incentives (created by ownership of generation assets) to discriminate in transmission.(7) In particular, Transco's management knows that its owners (Entergy) will benefit from certain of Transco's practices that favor Entergy's generation assets, such as understating available transmission capacity to independent generation sources. Further, discrimination by Transco management favoring Entergy's generation facilities likely would be difficult to detect and document because such transactions are very sensitive to timing and nuance. Our experience in enforcing the antitrust laws and in monitoring deregulation and restructuring of regulated industries strongly supports a preference for operational separation or divestiture in unbundling services.
Even if Entergy's proposal were likely to be an effective substitute for operational separation or divestiture, potential entrants are likely to perceive a continued risk of discrimination in transmission services based on past experience in the industry.(8) This perceived risk of discrimination is likely to lead to less entry into generation and less competition under a Transco regime than under an ISO regime. The PSCM may wish to consider the actual and perceived risk of discrimination associated with the proposed ownership structure.
III. Incentives to Reduce Competition Between Transmission and Generation Investments
A regulated, for-profit Transco may refrain from taking actions that would increase competition between transmission and generation alternatives (for example, in addressing load pockets(9)). To a considerable degree, expansions of transmission capacity and new or expanded generation within a load pocket are substitutes for each other in relieving such load situations. Without such relief, prices in the load pocket may increase at peak demand periods due to sheer scarcity of supply or due to exercise of market power within the load pocket.
The competitive danger is that Transco may have incentives to favor its own transmission assets relative to any generation source, thereby discouraging new generation sources in the load pocket.(10) For example, Transco could delay connecting a new generator to the grid within the load pocket. By taking such an action, Transco could collect the maximum transmission rates for more hours per day and for a longer period than it would otherwise because of the increased use of its transmission capacity from outside the load pocket.
In light of this possible anticompetitive behavior, the PSCM may wish to consider the incentives to discriminate between transmission and generation relief for load pockets as a cost of the Transco proposal. By contrast, an ISO would have no ownership incentives to favor one type of asset over another.
IV. Efficiency Advantages of Vertical Integration Also May Be Available Through an ISO that Both Manages and Operates the Transmission Grid
Entergy presents examples of specific cost savings that it believes it has achieved because of its vertical integration between management and operation of transmission assets.(11) It maintains that these efficiencies would be retained under its Transco proposal and lost under an ISO that would only manage the transmission grid. The implied assumption of Entergy's proposal is that an ISO cannot operate transmission assets. Although current U.S. ISOs do not operate the grid in their respective areas, there is no reason why an independent, non-profit ISO could not both manage and operate the grid.(12) For example, the British ISO both operates and manages the grid.(13) Indeed, the British ISO owns the grid(14) and could be termed a Transco. It operates, however, under rate caps and is a non-profit association of distribution customers and generators, with oversight by the Director General of Electricity Supply.(15) The PSCM may wish to consider whether the economies of vertical integration identified by Entergy may be obtainable through an ISO that both manages and operates the transmission grid, as well as through the Transco proposed by Entergy.
V. Conclusion
The Entergy Transco proposal entails two significant potential threats to competition and no unique efficiency benefits. The proposal presents anecdotal evidence of efficiencies that it attributes to vertical integration between the management and operation of the transmission grid. If the PSCM determines that such efficiencies are compelling, it may wish to consider an ISO that would combine the competitive neutrality of an ISO approach with the vertical integration efficiencies that Entergy believes are associated with its Transco proposal.

2. The staff of the FTC has submitted comments to various state agencies, including the Louisiana Public Service Commission, Docket No. U-21453 (stranded costs in the electric industry) (Aug. 7, 1998); Michigan Public Service Commission, Case No. U-11290 (electric industry restructuring) (Aug. 7, 1998); West Virginia Public Service Commission, Case No. 98-0452-E-GI (electricity restructuring) (July 15, 1998); Commonwealth of Virginia, Joint Subcommittee Studying Electric Industry Restructuring, SJR-91 (July 9, 1998); the Public Utility Commission of Texas, Project Number 17549 (affiliate transactions) (June 19, 1998); the Maine Department of the Attorney General and Public Utilities Commission, "Interim Report on Market Power in Electricity" (May 29, 1998); the Louisiana Public Service Commission, Docket No. U-21453 (market power) (May 15, 1998); the California Public Utilities Commission, Docket Nos.

3. Management of the grid entails making decisions about how, when, and by whom the transmission grid will be used. These are the functions that have been assumed by ISOs in areas such as California and the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland interconnection (PJM). Operation of the grid entails its physical maintenance and improvement. These functions have been retained by the original transmission owners in existing ISOs in the U.S.
4. Functional unbundling of generation assets from transmission assets entails behavioral rules forbidding a vertically integrated utility from discriminating against independent generation sources in granting access to the utility's transmission assets.
5. For example, Entergy claims that because of integrated teams of planning and operations engineers, it has been able to develop solutions to transmission problems that planning engineers alone could not have developed. Proposal, Appendix A at 1.
6. The FTC Bureau of Economics staff's Open Access Comment to FERC can be obtained from the FTC's website < http://www.ftc.gov/be/v950008.htm >
7. Vertical discrimination and raising rivals' costs are potential competitive concerns in the electric industry because the transmission system is likely to remain a monopoly, with regulatory protections against entry as well as other entry impediments. A vertically integrated monopolist in such circumstances may have incentives to favor its own generation assets and discriminate against competitors by offering inferior or higher-priced access to the transmission grid or by seeking other methods to raise costs of rival electricity suppliers. Absent such upstream market power, the competitive concerns are likely to be less severe.
8. See, e.g., "Petition for a Rulemaking on Electric Power Industry Structure and Commercial Practices and Motion to Clarify and Reconsider Certain Open-Access Commercial Practices," filed with FERC by Altra Energy Technologies, Inc. and others on March 25, 1998.
9. A load pocket exists when transmission constraints are such that additional load in an area must be met primarily with generation facilities inside that area. We have not performed a study of current or prospective load pockets in Mississippi. The PSCM may wish to do so in evaluating the Transco proposal. See the FTC Bureau of Economics Staff Comment to the Maine Office of Attorney General and Public Utilities Commission (1998) for a discussion of generation and transmission alternatives for alleviating load pockets < http://www.ftc.gov/be/v980011.htm > .
10. These incentives exist regardless of whether Transco's transmission prices are constrained by rate regulation.
11. Proposal, Appendix A.
12. It is also possible to envision an ISO that manages the whole grid in its service area and operates the grid in part of this area.

Prototype theory

Prototype theory is a mode of graded categorization in cognitive science, where some members of a category are more central than others. For example, when asked to give an example of the concept furniture, chair is more frequently cited than, say, stool. Prototype theory has also been applied in linguistics, as part of the mapping from phonological structure to semantics.
As formulated in the 1970s by Eleanor Rosch and others, prototype theory was a radical departure from traditional necessary and sufficient conditions as in Aristotelian logic, which led to set-theoretic approaches of extensional or intensional semantics. Thus instead of a definition based model - e.g. a bird may be defined as elements with the features [+feathers], [+beak] and [+ability to fly], prototype theory would consider a category like bird as consisting of different elements which have unequal status - e.g. a robin is more prototypical of a bird than, say a penguin. This leads to a graded notion of categories, which is a central notion in many models of cognitive science and cognitive semantics, e.g. in the work of George Lakoff (Women, Fire and Dangerous Things, 1987) or Ronald Langacker (Foundations of Cognitive Grammar, vol. 1/2 1987/1991).
The term prototype has been defined in Eleanor Rosch's study "Natural Categories" (1973) and was first defined as a stimulus, which takes a salient position in the formation of a category as it is the first stimulus to be associated with that category. Later, she redefined it as the most central member of a category.
Cognitive representation of semantic categories[edit]
This section requires expansion. (February 2007) |
In her 1975 paper, Cognitive Representation of Semantic Categories (J Experimental Psychology v. 104:192-233), Eleanor Rosch asked 200 American college students to rate, on a scale of 1 to 7, whether they regarded the following items as a good example of the category furniture. The resulting ranks are as follows:
- 1 chair
- 1 sofa
- 3 couch
- 3 table
- 5 easy chair
- 6 dresser
- 7 rocking chair
- 8 coffee table
- 9 rocker
- 10 love seat
- 11 chest of drawers
- 12 desk
- 13 bed
- ...
- 22 bookcase
- 27 cabinet
- 29 bench
- 31 lamp
- 32 stool
- 35 piano
- 41 mirror
- 42 tv
- 44 shelf
- 45 rug
- 46 pillow
- 47 wastebasket
- 49 sewing machine
- 50 stove
- 54 refrigerator
- 60 telephone
While one may differ from this list in terms of cultural specifics, the point is that such a graded categorization is likely to be present in all cultures. Further evidence that some members of a category are more privileged than others came from experiments involving:
- 1. Response Times: in which queries involving a prototypical members (e.g. is a robin a bird) elicited faster response times than for non-prototypical members.
- 2. Priming: When primed with the higher-level (superordinate) category, subjects were faster in identifying if two words are the same. Thus, after flashing furniture, the equivalence of chair-chair is detected more rapidly than stove-stove.
- 3. Exemplars: When asked to name a few exemplars, the more prototypical items came up more frequently.
Subsequent to Rosch's work, prototype effects have been investigated widely in areas such as colour cognition (Brent Berlin and Paul Kay, 1969), and also for more abstract notions. Subjects may be asked, e.g. "to what degree is this narrative an instance of telling a lie?" [Coleman/Kay:1981]. Similarly work has been done on actions (verbs like look, kill, speak, walk [Pulman:83]), adjectives like "tall" [Dirven/Taylor:88], etc.
Another aspect in which Prototype Theory departs from traditional Aristotelian categorization is that there do not appear to be natural kind categories (bird, dog) vs. artefacts (toys, vehicles).
Basic level categories[edit]
The other notion related to prototypes is that of a Basic Level in cognitive categorization. When asked What are you sitting on?, most subjects prefer to say chair rather than a subordinate such as kitchen chair or a superordinate such as furniture. Basic categories are relatively homogeneous in terms of sensory-motor affordances — a chair is associated with bending of one's knees, a fruit with picking it up and putting it in your mouth, etc. At the subordinate level (e.g. [dentist's chairs], [kitchen chairs] etc.) hardly any significant features can be added to that of the basic level; whereas at the superordinate level, these conceptual similarities are hard to pinpoint. A picture of a chair is easy to draw (or visualize), but drawing furniture would be difficult.
Rosch (1978) defines the basic level as that level that has the highest degree of cue validity. Thus, a category like [animal] may have a prototypical member, but no cognitive visual representation. On the other hand, basic categories in [animal], i.e. [dog], [bird], [fish], are full of informational content and can easily be categorised in terms of Gestalt and semantic features.
Clearly semantic models based on attribute-value pairs fail to identify privileged levels in the hierarchy. Functionally, it is thought that basic level categories are a decomposition of the world into maximally informative categories. Thus, they
- maximize the number of attributes shared by members of the category, and
- minimize the number of attributes shared with other categories
However, the notion of Basic Level is problematic, e.g. whereas dog as a basic category is a species, bird or fish are at a higher level, etc. Similarly, the notion of frequency is very closely tied to the basic level, but is hard to pinpoint.
More problems arise when the notion of a prototype is applied to lexical categories other than the noun. Verbs, for example, seem to defy a clear prototype: [to run] is hard to split up in more or less central members.[dubious ]
Distance between concepts[edit]
The notion of prototypes is related to Wittgenstein's (later) discomfort with the traditional notion of category. This influential theory has resulted in a view of semantic components more as possible rather than necessary contributors to the meaning of texts. His discussion on the category game is particularly incisive (Philosophical Investigations 66, 1953):
Consider for example the proceedings that we call 'games'. I mean board games, card games, ball games, Olympic games, and so on. What is common to them all? Don't say, "There must be something common, or they would not be called 'games'"--but look and see whether there is anything common to all. For if you look at them you will not see something common to all, but similarities, relationships, and a whole series of them at that. To repeat: don't think, but look! Look for example at board games, with their multifarious relationships. Now pass to card games; here you find many correspondences with the first group, but many common features drop out, and others appear. When we pass next to ball games, much that is common is retained, but much is lost. Are they all 'amusing'? Compare chess with noughts and crosses. Or is there always winning and losing, or competition between players? Think of patience. In ball games there is winning and losing; but when a child throws his ball at the wall and catches it again, this feature has disappeared. Look at the parts played by skill and luck; and at the difference between skill in chess and skill in tennis. Think now of games like ring-a-ring-a-roses; here is the element of amusement, but how many other characteristic features have disappeared! And we can go through the many, many other groups of games in the same way; can see how similarities crop up and disappear. And the result of this examination is: we see a complicated network of similarities overlapping and criss-crossing: sometimes overall similarities, sometimes similarities of detail.
Clearly, the notion of family resemblance is calling for a notion of conceptual distance, which is closely related to the idea of graded sets, but there are problems as well.
Recently, Peter Gärdenfors (2000) has elaborated a possible partial explanation of prototype theory in terms of multi-dimensional feature spaces called Conceptual Spaces, where a category is defined in terms of a conceptual distance. More central members of a category are "between" the peripheral members. He postulates that most natural categories exhibit a convexity in conceptual space, in that if x and y are elements of a category, and if z is between x and y, then z is also likely to belong to the category.
However, In the notion of game above, is there a single prototype or several? Recent linguistic data from colour studies seem to indicate that categories may have more than one focal element - e.g. the Tsonga colour term rihlaza refers to a green-blue continuum, but appears to have two prototypes, a focal blue, and a focal green. Thus, it is possible to have single categories with multiple, disconnected, prototypes, in which case they may constitute the union of several convex sets rather than a single one.
Combining categories[edit]
All around us, we find instances where objects like tall man or small elephant combine one or more categories. This was a problem for extensional semantics, where the semantics of a word such as red is to be defined as the set of objects having this property. Clearly, this does not apply so well to modifiers such as small; a small mouse is very different from a small elephant.
These combinations pose a lesser problem in terms of prototype theory. In situations involving adjectives (e.g. tall), one encounters the question of whether or not the prototype of [tall] is a 6 feet tall man, or a 400 feet skyscraper [Dirven and Taylor 1988]. The solution emerges by contextualizing the notion of prototype in terms of the object being modified. This extends even more radically in compounds such as red wine or red hair which are hardly red in the prototypical sense, but the red indicates merely a shift from the prototypical colour of wine or hair respectively. This corresponds to de Saussure's notion of concepts as purely differential: "non pas positivement par leur contenu, mais negativement par leurs rapports avec les autres termes du systeme" [p. 162; not positively, in terms of their content, but negatively by contrast with other terms in the same system (tr. Harris 83)].
Other problems remain - e.g. in determining which of the constituent categories will contribute which feature? In the example of a "pet bird" [Hampton 97], pet provides the habitat of the compound (cage rather than the wild), whereas bird provides the skin type (feathers rather than fur).

"The east coast of Australia is a global hotspot for the effects of climate change, especially in the marine realm, where average water temperatures have increased by almost half a degree over the last 50 years.
Half a degree of temperature might seem insignificant to some people, but not to the fish, coral, and other species of the southern Great Barrier Reef, many of whom already live on the edge of their comfort zone.
Over the last ten years, researchers have observed dramatic increases in the number of tropical reef fish species appearing in the more temperate waters of the New South Wales coastline. Some of these fish species can now survive through the winter in NSW waters and have established year-round local populations."

This is my second Hello Kitty dryer. My last one lasted alittle over two years. I'm not sure what the life span of a hair dryer is suppose to be, honestly. My old one stopped blowing hot air because the cool button had gotten stuck. In an attempt to fix it we ended up messing up the switched inside that controls the high and low. ToysRUs offered the best price even after tax [...] I'm a Hello Kitty fanatic, and I love my pink hair dryer. It's unique and well the first one went through alot between: both mom and I using it, being dropped several times, travel, and moderate usage.

The hair dryer does dry hair pretty good, however was dissappointed with the workmanship of the product. Also, after using for only 5 minutes, it smells like its burning...

Another often deployed slow down strategy would be to have players sit on the field for an "injury", then walk/limp off the field for 1 or 2 plays. It really pisses off the offense too that the can't get quick snaps. |

Each student-athlete receiving athletically related financial aid earns one retention point for staying in school and one eligibility point for being academically eligible. A team's total points are divided by the points possible and then multiplied by one thousand to equal the team's Academic Progress Rate score. Example: A Division I Football Bowl Subdivision team awards the full complement of 85 grants-in-aid. If 80 student-athletes remain in school and academically eligible, three remain in school but are academically ineligible and two drop out academically ineligible, the team earns 163 of 170 possible points for that term. Divide 163 by 170 and multiply by 1,000 to determine that the team's Academic Progress Rate for that term is 959. Teams that score below 925 and have a student-athlete who both failed academically and left school can lose scholarships (up to 10 percent of their scholarships each year) under the immediate penalty structure. |

43 weeks 1 day ago | Too much standing around by two players by design? |
Keep in mind I don't have a high baskeball iq. Our offense appears too predictable sometimes. Two guys camped out at the wings for threes, most times a pick and roll or high screen. Most times it works, especially at home or a neutral court, but not against a tough defense and refs who let physical play go. Why not do more triple screens to get a hot shooter a better shot. They run it every now and then, but maybe I don't have the eyes to see it being run more than when our offense went cold and turnover happy. I would like to see better drives to the hoop from Robinson, who has gone AWOLon offense in the past 3 games. |

I remember reading or hearing Jason Kidd said he would have liked to have played with the Fab Five since he thought they lacked a real point guard. Imagine him feeding all the other players. Jalen did a good job, but JKidd would have ran our team even better, likely to a title. I believe he would have been a freshman when the Fab Five were sophomores, so it might have only been 1 year with Webber. At least it would have made our chances even better during year 3 of that run. Although you wrote "atheletes that went to other schools" you also mentioned no ground rules, so one thing every UM fan probably thinks, is we wish the Yankees hadn't deprived us one full year of Drew Hensen. |

1 year 1 week ago | Spike vs Amadeo |
Amadeo was higher rated cause he got visibility playing with one of the top "hs" programs in the country, quoted because its really a mill for churning out college level talent. Watching some of this games on tv, I was not impressed with Amadeo, and he did not have point guard skills like Spike. Amadeo is a 3 pt shooter. OSU website shows Amadeo averaging 6 min in 3 appearances. Will be interesting to see when we play them. Spike was a bigger need for our team, and better get in my opinion. |

Tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) is widely used as a basic solvent in the development of acidic photoresist in the semiconductor photolithography process and in liquid crystal display manufacturing. Its wide usage in these demanding applications has made the analysis of impurities in TMAH more and more critical. With its ability to determine analytes rapidly and at the ultra-trace level in various process chemicals, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MSO) has become an indispensible analytical tool for quality control. This application note demonstrates the ability of PerkinElmer's NexION 300S ICP-MS to remove interferences so that trace levels of impurities in THMA can be easily measured using hot plasma conditions for all analytes in a single analysis.

More regulation this morning Virginia farmers -- -- fort protest to show support of a fellow farmer.
Who was -- thousands of dollars for hosting a birthday party on her own land without a permit.
Now one lawmaker Scott leave them -- -- is naming a bill in her honor which will -- Virginia's right to farm act.
That former Martha banana joins us now to tell us what happened.
What happened.
Well let's see we my.
My best -- ten year old daughter was having a birthday party and at our farm and the -- zoning administrator for my county fox -- -- you went on my FaceBook page and pay off pictures of my family and friends at this birthday party.
And and then I received a citation for having a birthday party.
And a citation for having a birthday party on -- -- Blanton prep property what was the complaint.
I'm in any indication and we were told was that it was considered -- and that and thereby we would need.
-- -- permits and a site plan.
Because it was considered an event so these farmers and others held a -- for protest in your honor what did that protest try to do bring awareness about.
I'm about -- is it's also about private property rights and the idea and that you know the small -- farmer.
Does a lot of things to make ends meet and and struggles and to make sure that they're not driven off of their land because of over regulation and just to support you know the small family -- -- to prevent something like this from ever happening again because if it can happen to me it can happen to anybody the right to farm bill -- this new piece of legislation that the congressman we were just talking about is trying to put forth would do what and.
And how would it help small farmers specifically in Virginia.
Well it then right to farm act is designed to protect the small feeling farmer.
But as as what's happened to need it there's some -- interpretations out -- perhaps that are preventing small family farmers from being able to do what's been done.
For -- for generations since forever and down Virginia's agriculture.
Is -- is is so pour into the local economy.
And I'm keeping it kidney -- that would farmers viable and on their land.
It is is what the bill is trying to attack.
In Europe flush with cash when you get hit with a 5000 dollar fine for a birthday party that's gotta hurt where does that stand now I've -- able to fight that out of -- well and see that the -- are looming over my head.
And right now we're in the process of going through that the court process and and it's my.
My hope and my dream that was my childhood dream to be -- Virginia -- -- -- that.
You know ultimately.
Will be able to.
Get back to doing what we were doing one of the greatest joys of my life was having people families and children come to the firemen experience.

Actum pro novus diem | Re: Help With a Boy . Very nice Old Wallie. Um if your friend thinks that he likes you, try to SUBTLY work out if he really does like you. Then go from there. Don't make yourself seem desperate. And whatever you do, if you have some small thing telling you that it was you who broke them up then DO NOT GO THERE!!! I got quite hurt. But maybe thats just me. |

The founding of this "Yao Class" is due to the disparity of education background for undergraduate between China and prestigious universities overseas. Professor Yao, with his long years' theoretical research and didactical experience, aims to help students from this class to become top CS talents like students from MIT, Stanford and so on. |

* These standards are based upon the federal poverty guidelines, as published each year by the US Department of Health and Human Services. Under Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations, the student or student's family must have a total income in the prior year (in this case, 2010) that is equal to or less than 150% of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines based on family size.
Legislation enacted in late 2009 and early 2010 prohibited publication of 2010 poverty guidelines before May 31, 2010, and required that the 2009 poverty guidelines remain in effect until publication of updated guidelines. Legislation to further delay publication of the 2010 guidelines did not pass. The procedure for updating the 2010 guidelines was then modified to take into account the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) for the period for which this publication was delayed. As a result, the poverty guideline figures for the 2010 remained the same as the 2009 poverty guideline figures.
These standards are for the 2012-2013 academic year and are to be used to determine BOGFW-B eligibility EFFECTIVE July 1, 2012.
BOGW C: To be eligible, you must have a minimum "unmet need" of at least $1.00 as determined after completing a 2012-2013 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) filing on-line.

In general I haven't objections to this hostel (or rather a village for low-budget tourists). There are a dozen or so small cottages for 3 or more persons. I was afraid of insects but they were not there, with the exception mosquitoes. Adrienne - reception manager - is very nice and helpful for guests. The only one thing I can complain of is access to Internet. I had a lot of problems with the connection, furthermore and it is also quite expensive (for 200 MB of memory I had to pay 30NZ$).

Overnight shipping available through 12pm Monday 12/23/13. Pastoral cannot guarantee package arrival before Christmas 12/25/13 and recommends gift certificates or monthly clubs if you are in need of a gift this holiday season.
$9.99**Festival Feature!** Stylistically this is a semi-firm Italian cow's milk cheese traditionally made in the Aosta Valley & Piedmont regions, and closely related to the French Tomme. The origins of the name "toma" (and its derivation in the french "tomme") are unknown. Some speculate that it comes from the word tomé, which means "fall" in the regional dialect. When curds separate from the whey, they fall to the bottom of the vat, thus giving credence to the name. This particular toma is the work of Bob Giacomini and his family at Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. in Northern California. The milk comes from their own herd of Holstein cows, which graze on organic, pastured hills overlooking Tomales Bay on the Pacific shore. This cheese is at once buttery and grassy with a tangy finish. Learn More

This is an outstanding climb up a long, sustained, & aesthetic line on mostly bullet-hard rock. You get some of everything on this route, from tips to chimney, plus a face-y crux. Once at the base, it would be pretty hard to get off-route. P1: (5.11-) Climb the left side of the small pillar, then continue up the clean fingers corner. Pass a small roof to the left, then continue up crack past another roof to 2-bolt anchor with fixed 'biners. (maybe 140'???) P2: (5.11+) Continue up crack, passing left under a roof, then up to a nice rest below a small overlap. Rest up, then bust through the crux on thin face & stemming moves past 2 bolts, then up easier ground to the next anchors. (maybe 90') P3: (5.11a/b) Continue up crack past an overhanging hands section to easier ground that leads to a large roof. Ascend the obvious slot in the roof, then up a nice corner thru an off-width roof to another bolted belay with fixed 'biners. (maybe 110') P4: (5.10+) Continue up crack past a long off-width section to another bolted anchor. P5: (5.7) Long, obvious crack/chimney system gets you to another belay near the summit of the spike. To descend rappel the route with 2 ropes.
From the big cairn at the end of H.S. Canyon trail, look up and left. The Golden Spike ascends a continuous crack system in a corner near the middle of the wall that eventually leads to the left side of a semi (barely?) detached 'spike' up high near the top. The P1 belay anchors are barely visible from the ground on the face just left of the crack. Once you have identified the line, continue up the wash from the big cairn for a couple minutes, then bushwhack up a steep slope to the base, utilizing a small break in the headwall a bit right of the route.
Despite the long approach, I recommend the following: Triples from yellow metolius thru #4 Camalot. Singles of cams from blue Metolius down to tiny. 1 set of nuts including a couple tiny ones. Several runners. 2 quickdraws. Those willing to carry a few extra pieces for better pro opportunities could bring an extra #1 & 2 Camalots and a yellow metolius. Also a #5 Camalot would not go un-used.
The GPS coordinates for the "small break in the headwall a bit right of the route" are... N34 56.497 W111 50.101
Is this route climbable in the colder months? Hoping to get on it before I leave Flagstaff in December.
Golden Sandbag! <<< Invalid image id: 106716487 >>> Awesome enduro route! Comparable to Astroman, this route is a serious undertaking. Dry Creek Road is in poor repair- recommend high clearance/4x4 to trail head. 1hr approach, heavy packs- agree with the beta on pro- we took a #5 and used it but you don't really need it, 3 or 4 #2's and #4's, 3 #1's & #3's, 2 of the smaller stuff + nuts, 2 60M ropes (1 70M will not do). Route actually faces North East, 1st pitch went into the shade about 10am as I started climbing. MAYBE both Keith and I were having HIgh Gravity days, but I don't think so. I do think that most of the pitches could easily be uprated by 2 letter grades. I would suggest P1: 11b/c, P2:11c/d, P3- mostly 11a w/ a 5.12 tight #1's crux, P4:10+ Off width was a welcome break!!, P5: 5.9- but exciting to a great summit. Don't let these ratings put you off, just be prepared for a full body work-out. Regarding the raps: Top Rap- we backed up the anchor with some more webbing-- we had a terrible time pulling the ropes from here and recommend adding a bolted anchor closer to the chimney, 2nd rap- we added a second bolt!!3rd rap- fine, 4th rap- we were able to skip the 5th rap by downclimbing the last bit while using a 70M & 60M.
On pitch 3 on top of one of the ledges below the red Camalot roof, there is a block that is 6' wide, 3' high and about 18" thick that you would like to yard on. Don't. The whole block moved maybe 3" on me today ( 4/5/2012), and could realistically come off in the very near future.
Sounds like a world class trundle....
There is only 1 bolt with a hanger on top of P4. There is a stud next to it (maybe 3/8" wedge bolt?), but no nut or hanger next to it. Me, I'm not much a fan of single bolt raps. In general the raps/anchors could all use to be improved. Most just have two bolts with 1 biner each and are located just off the belay ledges which make for unnecessary hanging belays and very twisted ropes. It would be a good service for a future ascent to improve on this as the route is a worthy adventure. I agree with Mark on the grades - expect full value climbing burl and gnar with not many cruiser sections.
The first three pitches are pretty cool. Don't be expecting "astroman", not even astroboy in height, but that doesn't change the fact that the physical nature of this will wear you out. The general burliness makes the technical crux feel nice and dainty. The hike was really easy and fast despite the length while the drive in was long and sucked. Good route, enjoy.
I believe the ratings to be right on. Not sandbagged at all.

"Where's my book?" In the two years since Brad Meltzer released Heroes For My Son, that's what the New York Times best-selling author has heard over and over from his daughter. Now, just a month before Mother's Day, Brad reaches out to his daughter and mothers everywhere with Heroes For My Daughter.
In his new book, the father of three profiles 56 people who he believes are worthy of the hero title. The collection of biographies and photographs spans Amelia Earhart and Lucille Ball to Mahatma Gandhi and Judy Blume. He's also introducing a line of inspirational clothing pieces featuring caricatures of the heroes. I recently spoke with the author about the new book; here's what he had to say.
LilSugar: Are there any crossovers between the heroes you picked for your son and the ones you have selected for your daughter?Brad Meltzer: I did 50 brand-new heroes for my daughter. But there were six heroes that I felt were worth repeating from Heroes For My Son — a sort of hall of fame that I felt needed to be there for my daughter: Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart, Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Lucille Ball. Plus, I again included my mom. C'mon. It's my mom!
LS: What were the criteria you used to make your selections? What did it take for them to "make the cut"?
BM: To pick a hero, it's like the Supreme Court definition of pornography: you know it when you see it. But in the book, there's one thing every hero has in common. They all had to do this: help someone. Some people help thousands of people directly, like Marie Curie or Susan B. Anthony. Others help us by inspiring us, like Amelia Earhart. But you do have to help someone.
It's the dream that links every single hero I picked for her. As I now often tell my daughter Lila, no matter what stage of life you're in, when you want something — no matter how impossible it seems — you need to fight for it. When you believe in something, fight for it. And when you see injustice, fight harder than you've ever fought before.
Keep reading for more about Brad's picks, including some little-known facts about the heroes.
