Wind: 10 mph
The Mad River Path Association (MRPA) reports that great strides were made in 2010. That's the word from director Autumn Foushee, who joined the path association last February.
Foushee noted that it was a productive year and that great progress
was made towards attaining the mission of building, maintaining,
supporting and conserving a system of continuous public pathways from
Warren to Moretown to foster a healthy community by connecting the
people, schools, businesses and special places of the Mad River Valley.
Foushee's hiring was made possible by a grant from the Mad River Valley Recreation District. MRPA also received a grant from the Vermont Department of Forests and Parks Recreation Trails Grant Program (RTP). MRPA was awarded $18,671 to build a bridge over Clay Brook, which will connect the path from Riverside Park to the Sugarbush Snowmaking Pond path and the Kingsbury Farm path. It will be complete by fall 2011.
The MRPA was also able to open three new sections of path in 2010: The Austin Walk, the Kingsbury Farm path and the Bridge Street Connection in Waitsfield. These sections were made possible through membership funds, as well as a grant from the Alice R. Schwendler CLAT.
"Each of these new trails exist thanks to the many hands of dedicated volunteers and board members," Foushee said.
The MRPA held two fund-raising events and was the beneficiary of a third. In April 2010, MRPA began a new partnership with Sugarbush to host the 32nd Sugarbush Adventure Games. The games were a hit with over 200 participants. MRPA will be partnering with Sugarbush again in 2011. The Adventure Games will take place on April 2 and 3.
The 15th annual Mad Dash held on September 19 was also a great success. With nearly 200 participants, it was a race to remember. One racer mentioned to a MRPA board member that it was "the most fun I've ever had at a race!" The 16th annual Mad Dash will be held on September 18, 2011.
* A fourth section is underway, which is funded by the Recreation Trails Program. The bridge over Clay Brook will be completed by fall 2011 and will connect the Riverside Park Path with the sections of path to the north. The MRPA Board with the assistance of a Vermont Youth Conservation Corp crew also built a staircase along this section of path, which will allow hikers to access the path on the Golden Lion Riverside Inn property. Michael and Melinda Carr, owners of the Golden Lion Riverside Inn, donated a trail access easement to the MRPA for the Clay Brook Bridge and the Mad River Path.
* Several work parties throughout the year helped to build and maintain path sections, as well address flooding damage and invasive species removal.
* Mike Eramo donated his time and labor to build a stone bridge over a stream along the Warren Path.
* The MRPA website was revamped for 2010 to include more information about the Path and how the public can get involved.
* SIPtemberfest, hosted by Meg's Events and Mad River Glen, was a good party in addition to being a benefit for the MRPA.
* A successful membership drive was held that resulted in the largest membership base ever. In 2010, over 400 members supported MRPA's efforts to build and sustain the Mad River Path.
* Partnership with the UVM Local Community Initiatives course - MRPA worked with UVM students to create historical and cultural interpretive materials for the Bridge Street Connection. The students compiled a report and created prototypes of interpretive materials for the MRPA, while also making suggestions for how MRPA could further engage the community on the path.
* Cooperating partnerships with community groups like the Mad River Valley Recreation District, Friends of the Mad River, the Mad River Valley Planning District, the Vermont Land Trust, the Innkeepers' Association, the Safe Routes to School Initiative, the Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce, VFN, The Rotary Club, VAST and the Mad River Ridge Runners were initiated.
Looking ahead in 2011, there will be a lot happening with the Mad River Path. The Clay Brook Bridge will be complete and open by fall. MRPA also hopes to exceed its 2010 membership record by reaching more than 500 members in 2011. There will also be many events happening on the path this year.

Christmas has come and gone, and massive end-of-the-season sales have begun. Time for another wish list from yours truly.
Oddly, this shirt has been on my mind for the last three weeks. Really, it's nothing special since all it is, is basically a long sleeve striped T shirt (albeit a high quality one) with a slightly unique neck opening. To add, I'm not a huge fan of horizontal lines on shirts since I'm a bit shorter, and such patterns don't do any favors for my stature. Still, this shirt keeps popping up in my head. I suppose it might be the shirt's history? Or incredible layering ability?
You can grab one from J.Crew or Unionmade (who is actually having a semi-annual sale right now).
Why do I keep posting boots in my wish lists?
One boot that has particularly caught my attention is the 1000 mile boot by Wolverine. These bad boys are quite acclaimed in the menswear world, and for good reason. I had a chance to try them out recently, and not only do they look great, but you can immediately tell they're built like an ox. Proper Goodyear welting on a leather sole, high quality upper leather & stitching, made in the USA… what's not to like? Plus, I think they are incredibly versatile. They're equally appropriate on a mountain hike as they are at an office event.
I would go out and get them immediately, but I think I'm past my boot quota for 2012-2013. Oh, and if these boots are too expensive for you, I found a great deal on an amazing, less expensive alternative made by Chippewa. You can find them on Amazon for only $86 with coupon "workboot." Yea, seriously.
I recently saw a Gitman Vintage navy shirt with a subtle pin dot pattern on it at a clothing boutique here in SF. I immediately wanted one in my closet, so I started searching the web to find one in my size. Unfortunately, I failed to find one at a decent price, but the shirt got me to thinking. Hey, wouldn't this pattern look great on a tie or pocket square?
Since having that thought, I've been looking all over the web for a decent tie and pocket square combo in the navy + pin dot pattern. Well it turns out that one of my favorite tie makers, Drake's of London, carries a nice one as shown above. They're also having an end of the year sale right now, so the prices are cut about 25%.
If the price is still too high for you, good news is that you can get both a tie and pocket square in this pattern at thetiebar for a lot cheaper than the Drake's tie above.
Grant it, I don't think it needs to be specifically from J.Crew, but I've been looking for a nice dark indigo denim shirt for a while now. I think a denim shirt is a piece that can effortlessly dress a formal outfit down, and still look appropriate in most situations. Definitely a refreshing change from your normal white, blue, or pink dress shirt that you may wear on a daily basis.
The only reservation I have with getting a denim shirt is its versatility. I generally wear jeans everyday and the color of this shirt in particular would be too similar to the color of my jeans, making the outfit look less than ideal. Either way, I'm on the fence, but I must say… J.Crew makes this shirt look damn good.
So there you go, my January wish list. You know, sometimes I wonder if it ever ends…
Oh well, TIME TO SPEND MOAR MONEY!

Excellent verse, Phil. 4:8 to direct our thoughts each day to things important to God and journal about it for personal use or a gift for someone. I favor spiral journals because they allow you to flip the pages fully.

Nashville Recap for Season 1, Episode 10: "I'm Sorry for You My Friend" — Here Comes the Bribe
Time to throw Juliette (Hayden Panettiere) an annulment shower! (That's a thing, right?) In this week's Nashville Season 1, Episode 10, "I'm Sorry for You My Friend," Deacon (Charles Esten) is officially Superman, Gunnar and his brother sing some jailhouse rock, and Rayna (Connie Britton) is now the First Lady of Nashville — as if she weren't already.
Another Day, Another Guitarist
The episode begins with Rayna and Juliette giving a press conference from Cali, where Juliette refuses to address the fact that she basically recreated the film Runaway Bride (although Sean is no Richard Gere). And then Rayna is asked about embarking on her first tour sans Deacon. If we were Rayna, Deacon is the one thing we wouldn't leave home without, but that's just us.
The mayoral election is two days away, with Teddy (Eric Close) and Coleman (Robert Wisdom) still neck-and-neck. Lamar (Powers Boothe) informs Teddy that people are counting on him to win, so he should consider buying a few votes. Note to Lamar: Do you not think that Teddy has enough controversy to deal with as it is?
Rayna talks to Liam — her lovable-loose-cannon of a producer — about the fact that her new guitarist has unexpectedly quit, so Liam begrudgingly agrees to fill in for now. It's almost as if Liam doesn't find it flattering to be Rayna's third choice for guitarist. (Funny thing about that.)
By the way, Liam definitely doesn't like wearing cowboy boots, as Rayna learns after trying to give him a pair for the tour. These boots might be made for walking, but they weren't made for Liam.
Till Death Do Us Part — Or For at Least the Next Few Days
Juliette and Sean's marriage was so quick that it made Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' marriage seem to have stood the test of time by comparison, and Juliette wants the divorce to be equally speedy. But Sean won't sign divorce papers, leading Juliette to finally address their split in the media, hoping that will speed things up. Yep, Juliette is quite the sentimentalist.
Contrary to what she'd hoped, Juliette's public comments lead to Sean serving her with annulment papers. Suddenly, Juliette goes all anti-love, banning her smash hit "Love Like Mine" from her setlist and refusing to let Rayna take the stage for her soundcheck. Way to keep things civil.
And to retaliate against Juliette for her long rehearsal, Liam lies down on the stage in front of her, as if he's auditioning to play a corpse on a CSI show. Did we mention how much we love Liam?
You Mayor Kiss the Bride
Juliette flies to a football stadium to meet Sean, where Sean says he wants an annulment because he only wanted to get married once to the right woman, and Juliette ain't it. Following this convo, Juliette agrees to play "Love Like Mine" on tour, and when she and Sean meet up again with lawyers in tow, Juliette finally admits to fraud and grants the annulment. Bravo, Juliette.
It's now election night, and although Rayna had opted not to join Teddy in Nashville for election results, she has a change of heart and flies back to see her family. The numbers are in, and Teddy is elected mayor — without Lamar needing to buy him votes! So Lamar did the right thing for once? Consider us shocked.
And in a startling final scene, Teddy hears a knock on the door, and it turns out to be his biggest (and most unstable) fan, Peggy. Peggy says she wishes she hadn't overdosed on pills, but she thinks Teddy will be a great mayor. And then she touches Teddy on the back of his head in a way that married mayors shouldn't be touched. This woman is going to be trouble.
It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's
Superman a Guitarist!
Gunnar (Sam Palladio) and Scarlett (Clare Bowen) head out on a road trip, but instead of doing cool stuff like seeing the world's biggest ball of yarn (what — that's not considered cool?), they spend the drive working on songs. When they arrive in Texas, Scarlett meets up with Deacon, while Gunnar goes off to see his brother, Jason. If you didn't know Gunnar had a brother, well, neither did anyone else.
And where has Gunnar's brother been living, you may ask? He's done six years in the Gray Bar Hotel, after an armed robbery incident in which Gunnar abandoned him.
But it turns out that Jason's got a voice. We love hearing these two harmonize together — those are some musical genes! — but we don't love that he sells Gunnar's guitar and is now packing heat. Apparently, firearms-loving Jason should have been the brother who was given the first name that contains the word "gun."
Deacon takes Scarlett to see his Revel Kings show, and afterward, the band's frontman Cy gets a little too handsy with her. Deacon's Spidey senses are tingling, and so he busts into the room in the nick of time and tosses Cy into a table. Come to think of it, if there is a cooler way to tell your boss you quit than by throwing him into a table, we haven't heard of it.
Avery (Jonathan Jackson) is still sleeping with his manager Marilyn — ever the professional, that Avery is — when she informs him that label honcho Dominic has offered him a bad contract. Avery pays Dom a visit in Atlanta, where Dom somehow convinces him to sign the deal after letting him borrow his fancy car. So who's telling the truth: Marilyn or Dominic? Uh, can we choose "c.) none of the above"?
Three Predictions for Future Episodes:
1. Right now, our favorite thing is trying to guess who Liam is going to sleep with — since you know he's gonna end up sleeping with somebody. We initally thought he might start hooking up with Rayna, which next week's promo seems to hint at. But now we're wondering if he and Juliette might be cute together, after their sexual-tension filled tete-a-tete in the hallway. Anyone else want to join us on Team Juliam? No one?
2. So did Avery make the right choice in going with Dominic, or was Marilyn telling the truth? Marilyn doesn't seem like the most trustworthy person ever, but given that Deacon is friendly with her, and that she's been working in Nashville for so long, we can't imagine she would be swindling her clients. Dominic, on the other hand? Well, that we could imagine.
3. How soon until Deacon joins the tour with Rayna and Juliette? We're thinking it's only another episode or two, although Teddy probably won't be thrilled with that. And speaking of Teddy, how soon until he does something corrupt in office? Again, we're gonna play it safe and say an episode or two. (And we can't wait to see what Crazy Peggy is up to.)
Long story short, we can't wait until next week. In the meantime, we want to blow off some steam. Anyone got a fancy car we can borrow?

David Lobb did his best to launch a serious write-in campaign against state Rep. Bill Taylor, but in the end, it wasn't even close.
The 251 write-in ballots had not been counted late Tuesday, but mathematically, even if all the write-ins went to Lobb, it wouldn't be enough to challenge the almost 7,500 votes Taylor had received by 9:30 p.m.
Taylor was seeking his second term as the District 86 S.C. House member.
Taylor is a former television journalist, serving as a reporter, producer and anchorman. He also has served as a media adviser and was a partner in establishing a consulting firm. He was also a consultant to the George H.W. Bush White House in 1991-92.
Taylor cited his role as the primary sponsor of the S.C. Fair Tax Act, which would create a state tax to replace state income taxes on families and businesses. He also sponsored a Freedom of Information reform measure that passed the House 100-1, but tied in the Senate.
A retired Army colonel, Lobb is president of the Aiken chapter of the Military Officers Association and president for legislative affairs for the Military Officers Association of South Carolina. He faced criticism throughout the campaign for moving from the local Republican Party to the county Republican Club. Lobb made the switch after he was rejected as the local party's chairman.

Tanner Lewis' friends – stunned by his unexpected death on Sunday – gave him a memorial tribute the following day in an unusual and moving way – a running game of Monopoly in the Midland Valley High School Library.
The 17-year-old senior and gifted honor student loved the game. He and his buddy, Chris Taylor, once played eight to 10 hours on a weekend when they were younger, using an ancient board and paper money handed down for decades in the Lewis family.
At times on Monday, so many students would come by the library that they had to team up with one of the Monopoly tokens. Chris picked out the sword and also chose Tanner's favorite star token – and played the game with both.
A son of David and Donna Lewis, Tanner, 17, died after a brief illness, leaving faculty members and students alike with a shared loss. He was a phenomenal student and a great person, said guidance director Sharon Worley.
Tanner served on the academic team and Beta Club, earned his Eagle Scout award last summer and was so ecstatic just recently. He had become the first Midland Valley student to be accepted to Duke University. His classmates warmly shared his joy.
"He was a special kid and now we're hearing more things that were more subtle," said counselor Allison Crow. "It's how he helped other students, taking them under his wing. Through his Eagle Scout experience, he also mentored the younger scouts here at school."
Chris and two other close friends of Tanner's – J.A. Grice and Cameron Driver – talked about Tanner in a conference room on Monday. On a table nearby was a massive poster – full of messages of love and sadness from students – along with a photo of Tanner in a new Duke sweatshirt and a poem written by Cameron.
All four had firm plans after high school. J.A. plans to become a pastor, Cameron is going into marketing and Chris looks forward to a career in medicine.
"Everybody pushed Tanner that he should be a politician," Chris said. "He was so much fun, definitely a character."
In larger letters in the center of the poster was a headline: "Tanner Conquers the World." He always said that, Chris and the others agreed. With tongue clearly in cheek, Tanner would come up with outrageous solutions to world problems. If he became president, he told a friend he would give her China.
He talked about becoming the governor and maybe the president, too. But that came from his fascination with history. He had strong conservative values, enjoyed debates and never budged from the beliefs that mattered to him.
Tanner had found mistakes in textbooks and in AP calculus, would find some unnecessarily long solution to a problem, just so he could do it his way, his friends said. When Tanner took off on a scouting weekend once, he took his biology and calculus books with him.
Tanner had a great sense of humor, said Worley, and also a good heart. He would bring his friends chocolate on holidays, and would make a Christmas list for his friends, and then give every one of them the gift on that list.
He was a big Carolina fan, and J.A. said they gave each other a lot of grief, because J.A. roots for Clemson. After he was accepted into Duke, "Tanner said he would have to start watching basketball there," J.A. said. And would have happily worn that new sweatshirt to the games, too.
Cameron and Tanner met in the second grade at Jefferson Elementary School and were inseparable during their childhoods, more like brothers than friends.
"We were all blinded by how bright his future was," said Cameron. "He was so smart and if we live by Tanner's example, maybe we can make the world better like he did."
In his poem, Cameron wrote how as kids one day, they were pretending to be explorers. They had found a big ol' bucket full of plastic lizards and snakes and tossed them out a second-story window. The boys ran outside and somehow couldn't find the plastic lizards and snakes anywhere – as if they had flown away or had walked away on the ground.
Several years passed and, Cameron wrote on Monday how he had heard something tragic, that the friend he had considered his brother had died. "And he was flying away, just like the lizards had."
Someday he will see Tanner again, Cameron said, and they will dress up as explorers once more.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Nov. 1, 2012) - The New Mexico State volleyball team (18-7, 11-3 WAC) swept San Jose State (12-13, 8-7 WAC), 25-17, 25-19, 25-21, Thursday night in the Pan American Center.
The Aggies outhit SJSU .316-.132 with sophomore Meredith Hays posting a match-high 17 kills to go along with two solo blocks and seven digs. Red shirt freshman Bradley Nash played efficiently as she posted a season-high .714 hitting percentage with five kills on seven swings. She also had three digs and two block assists.
"We're still getting better and there's a lot of room for improvement," head coach Mike Jordan said. "And I'm glad I'm seeing growth. We're fortunate that we've got depth and we can change things if we need to. We've got some options and it's just a matter of making sure everybody continues to improve and everybody stays aggressive."
The Aggies were the more aggressive team as the out-blocked the Spartans 8-5. NM State won set one 25-17 holding the Spartans to a .054 hitting percentage. After the Aggies took a 15-14 lead, freshman Taylor Livoti marked one of her season-high four services aces giving the Aggies a lead it would not relinquish.
Set two saw NM State hold the Spartans under .100 again with junior Lauren Loerch putting down four kills while Hays added six of her own. Loerch finished the evening hitting .381 with nine kills and only one error. SJSU pulled two within two at 18-16 but three consecutive kills by the Aggies ended the set at 25-19.
The Spartans didn't let up in set three tied it late at 20-20 but two straight kills from Hays and an error by a Spartan took it to 23-20. After an Aggie service error, Hays slammed down a kill which was followed by a kill from junior Desiree Scott to give NM State the 25-21 victory. Scott ended the night with seven kills and three block assists.
The Aggies take on Utah State, Saturday, Nov. 3 in the Pan American Center. For tickets call 575-646-1420.

WHEELERSBURG — Misty's Kone Shoppe is back in business.
New owners, Jim and Anita Vastine, celebrated their grand opening with the ribbon-cutting ceremony held Monday.
The ownership team is excited about re-opening Misty's Kone Shoppe. Anita will be managing Misty's, and Jim, who has worked in food service for Valley Foods 25 years, will assist her when he is not at his place of employment.
"We came up with an idea in about August. We have always frequented Misty's, and we loved everything that Ronnie and Marvin Hall did here for so many years since 1985 when they opened this business," Jim Vastine said.
Jim Vastine said the community was saddened when one of the former owners of Misty's passed away and the other could not continue the business.
"When Ronnie was no longer able to work it and Marvin died two years ago, it spun everyone through a loop when they shut it down," Jim Vastine said.
He said he would drive by and reminisce about all of the delicious foods that he enjoyed eating at Misty's.
"I would drive by this place and say, 'I miss the homemade ice cream. I missed the foot longs, and the hot dog sauce, I missed everything about Misty's," Jim Vastine said.
Jim Vastine said Wheelersburg residents would relate the most to the re-opening of Misty's Kone Shoppe.
"It's a Wheelersburg community thing. People that live in Wheelersburg understand, and they really support, and get behind Wheelersburg businesses," Jim Vastine said.
Jim said he and his wife Anita conferred about purchasing Misty's Kone Shoppe in August. Jim said help from his sister Nancy Hawk of Real Estate Gallery, and his parents, Ernie and Peggy Vastine of Valley Foods, attributed to the re-opening of Misty's.
"With the grace of God, and Ronnie, and everyone involved we were able to do this," Jim Vastine said.
According to Jim Vastine the menu items will remain the same.
"We haven't changed any of the recipes. We're still making the homemade ice cream, the same hot dog sauce that they made, everything is still the same," Jim Vastine said.
Anita Vastine said their desire is that Misty's will be a reflection of the local community.
"We want Misty's to represent the Wheelersburg community and the surrounding communities. We want it to be a family-oriented place of business, that provides quality products in a fun atmosphere," Anita Vastine said.
Anita Vastine said Misty's currently has seven employees that are ready to serve the public.
"We have very good employees that provide excellent service. We are just going to have fun and want the whole community involved," she said.
Misty's Kone Shoppe's hours of operation are Monday through Saturday - 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. Closed Sundays.
According to Anita Vastine, the hours of operation could change later in the winter. She said the hours would be extended during the summer and will be open seven days a week.

Cross High School quarterback Branford Halls has signed a scholarship to play football for Charleston Southern University.
Halls, an All-State selection in 2012, led his Trojans to the Class A Division II state championship and becomes the first football player under Coach Shaun Wright's tutelage to sign a collegiate football scholarship.
"We are extremely proud of Branford Halls," Wright said. "We wish him blessings as he continues his education and football."
Halls accumulated 1,218 total yards of offense last season and led the Trojans to a 38-26 win over McCormick to bring home the first CHS state championship.
"Winning a state championship was his goal the moment he knew he would be our starting quarterback," Wright said. "His teammates respected his character and his will to work. The time he put in to study his playbook and opponent was unmatched."
A year ago before football season began, Wright tells the story about how Halls came into his office and said if he couldn't bring home a state championship in football to Cross, he didn't want his diploma. On May 30, when Halls picks up his high school diploma he will be wearing his state championship ring.
"I'm excited about the chance to play," he said. "I look forward to playing for Charleston Southern in the fall."
Wright said Halls was more than just a good athlete under center.
"Every Monday morning he gave me his ideas on how we could attack certain teams," Wright said. "We may be able to replace his athleticism but it will be difficult to replace his leadership. Winning a state championship was monumental at Cross, and for Branford to be the quarterback is just fitting for who he is as a person."
Halls becomes the latest chapter in the storied tradition that is Cross Trojans football.
"We have had several players here at Cross to go on and play at the next level but it's a first for me and this program and I am just proud and grateful for him and the example he has set," Wright said.

- Fluctuations and correlations in nucleus-nucleus collisions within transport approaches (2009)
- The current thesis is devoted to a systematic study of fluctuations and correlations in heavy-ion collisions, which might be considered as probes for the phase transition and the critical point in the phase diagram, within the Hadron-String- Dynamics (HSD) microscopic transport approach. This is a powerful tool to study nucleus-nucleus collisions and allows to completely simulate experimental collisions on an event-by-event basis. Thus, the transport model has been used to study fluctuations and correlations including the influence of experimental acceptance as well as centrality, system size and collision energy. The comparison to experimental data can separate the effects induced by a phase transition since there is no phase transition in the HSD version used here. Firstly the centrality dependence of multiplicity fluctuations has been studied. Different centrality selections have been performed in the analysis in correspondence to the experimental situation. For the fixed target experiment NA49 events with fixed numbers of the projectile participants have been studied while in the collider experiment PHENIX centrality classes of events have been defined by the multiplicity in certain phase space region. A decrease of participant number fluctuations (and thus volume fluctuations) in more central collisions for both experiments has been obtained. Another area of this work addresses to transport model calculations of multiplicity fluctuations in nucleus-nucleus collisions as a function of colliding energy and system size. This study is in full correspondence to the experimental program of the NA61 Collaboration at the SPS. Central C+C, S+S, In+In, and Pb+Pb nuclear collisions at Elab = 10, 20, 30, 40, 80, 158 AGeV have been investigated. The expected enhanced fluctuations - attributed to the critical point and phase transition - can be observed experimentally on top of a monotonic and smooth 'hadronic background'. These findings should be helpful for the optimal choice of collision systems and collision energies for the experimental search of the QCD critical point. Other observables are fluctuations of ratios of hadrons (e.g. pions, kaons, protons, etc.) which are not so much affected by volume fluctuations. In particular HSD results for the kaon-to-pion ratio fluctuations, which has been regarded as promising observable for a long time, are presented from low SPS energies up to high energies at RHIC. In addition to the HSD calculations statistical model is also used in terms of microcanonical, canonical and grand canonical ensembles. Further a study of the system size event-by-event fluctuations causing rapidity forward-backward correlations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is presented. The HSD simulations reveal strong forward-backward correlations and reproduce the main qualitative features of the STAR data in A+A collisions at RHIC energies. It has been shown that strong forward-backward correlations arise due to an averaging over many different events that belong to one centrality bin. An optimization of the experimental selection of centrality classes is presented, which is relevant for the program of the NA61 collaboration at CERN, the low-energy program at RHIC, as well as future experiments at FAIR.
- Fluctuations and correlations from microscopic transport theory (2009)
- The multiplicity fluctuations in A+A collisions at SPS and RHIC energies are studied within the HSD transport approach. We find a dominant role of the fluctuations in the nucleon participant number for the final fluctuations. In order to extract physical fluctuations one should decrease the fluctuations in the participants number. This can be done considering very central collisions. The system size dependence of the multiplicity fluctuations in central A+A collisions at the SPS energy range – obtained in the HSD and UrQMD transport models – is presented. The results can be used as a 'background' for experimental measurements of fluctuations as a signal of the critical point. Event-by-event fluctuations of the K/p , K/p and p/p ratios in A+A collisions are also studied. Event-by-event fluctuations of the kaon to pion number ratio in nucleus-nucleus collisions are studied for SPS and RHIC energies. We find that the HSD model can qualitatively reproduce the measured excitation function for the K/p ratio fluctuations in central Au+Au (or Pb+Pb) collisions from low SPS up to top RHIC energies. The forward-backward correlation coefficient measured by the STAR Collaboration in Au+Au collisions at RHIC is also studied. We discuss the effects of initial collision geometry and centrality bin definition on correlations in nucleus-nucleus collisions. We argue that a study of the dependence of correlations on the centrality bin definition as well as the bin size may distinguish between these 'trivial' correlations and correlations arising from 'new physics'. 5th International Workshop on Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement - CPOD 2009, June 08 - 12 2009 Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island, New York, USA

Comments, questions and tips
Just made this soup and its amazing! Best soup ive had in ages. The honey in it makes it taste almost sweet potato like. Do not miss out the chilli flakes, I'm not a lover of spice so almost didn't use it but it totally makes the soup. I didn't measure the stock I just added it to the consistency I wanted and used chicken instead of vegetable for more flavour, plus used garlic salt rather than normal salt again for more flavour. Me and my picky toddler have almost eaten the lot!
Only had 500g of carrots in the fridge so only used 1 leek and I added stock gradually to get the consistency I prefer. I had no bay leaf but what I did add is thumb sized piece of grated fresh ginger, half teaspoon of turmeric and quarter of cumin powder. I used two small pinches of dried chilli and scatter of dried coriander. Soup was delicious with a good amount of heat.
try this super adddictive, aphrodisiac and delicious carrot ginger soupe recipe at marmite et ponpon
Gorgeous soup! I used 1 leak and a bunch of spring onions. Listened to other comments and stuck to 1.8L of stock and it gave a nice consistency to the soup - on the more liquidous side so I'd advise no more stock than that unless you enjoy your soup watery. Sub'd cayenne pepper at the end rather than chilli flakes - added a nice kick. Do not use oil instead as the butter creates a warming smooth taste. FAB!

The soup I made looked a little bit yucky and nothing like the lovely orange soup from the picture. I made it in quite a large batch and ate it three times. On the second and third occasion I added turmeric, coriander and extra honey which made it taste better for me. The soup was still OK though, just not as good as I had hoped. Different though, certainly makes a change from the regular boring soups I usually eat.
Love this soup. I always have half a bag of carrots that need eating up, and this does the job. Don't be too shy with the chilli - the soup can take it! Agree that the quantity of stock needs reducing, but also tried cooking in half a tin of puy lentils which thickened it up, made it heartier, and kept the fabulous carrot/honey taste. Also double up the leek proportion, too.
I've made this soup twice now, both time halving the quantities.
The first time I followed the actual recipe, and it turned out to be a lovely warming, healthy soup which made a great lunch. Went down a treat with my other half as well! My blender isn't fantastic, but I rather liked the 'rustic' slightly chunky texture it gave.
The second time my soup ended up very liquid and not as thick as the first time - suspect I accidentally measured too much stock or something silly like that! But having left it to boil down it was just fine. I left out the bay leaf as I didn't have any, and used chilli powder for seasoning rather than flakes. I also added a little cream just before serving rather than soured cream which really changed the flavour and made the soup very rich and indulgent!
This is an ideal soup for me - tastes great, uses cheap ingredients and is easy to make! Plus, leftovers can be reheated quite happily, and the soup lasts a couple of days if kept cool and covered!

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (May 2, 2013) – It was a season of reinvention for the New Mexico State women's golf team, a team that will return in the fall with most of its top players still on the roster.
The 2012-13 campaign started with the Aggies losing their two best players from the previous season, one to graduation and one to transfer. It also started with co-head coach Paul Brilliant, who had been part of the women's golf program at NM State since its inception in 1982, announcing his retirement.
The full reigns of the program were handed over to Jackie Booth, who had been the co-head coach, along with Brilliant, for the previous five seasons. This would be the second stint as Aggie head coach for Booth, a Las Cruces native, as she also coached NM State from 1992-97.
At the conclusion of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Championship, Booth and her Aggies had competed in a total of 10 tournaments, five in the fall, including NM State's home tournament the Price's "Give 'Em Five" Intercollegiate, and five in the spring, including the WAC Championship.
After beginning the season with a 17th place finish in Colorado at the Colonel Wollenberg's Ram Classic (Sep. 10-11), the Aggies rebounded by marking their best finish of the season during their next tournament, the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational hosted by Kansas (Sept. 24-25). NM State finished in a tie for sixth out of 13 teams.
The Aggies next hosted their home tournament in Las Cruces (Oct. 8-10). It would be the most productive tournament of the season for NM State. The team carded three of its four best rounds of the season during the Price's "Give 'Em Five," including an 11-over-par 299 during the first round, the team's best round of the season. The Aggies final score of 41-over 905 was also a season's best.
NM State kicked off the spring schedule in California with its second top 10 finish of the season, at the Folino Invitational (Feb. 17-19). The Aggies concluded the season by shooting their third-best total score of the season, a 77-over-par 941, at the WAC Championship.
The Aggie lineup at the WAC Championship epitomized what NM State was all about during the 2012-13 season, a young team. Only one senior, Aileen Meredith, played in more than three tournaments for the Aggies in 2012-13.
Booth took no seniors and only one junior, Amelie Buhl, to Arizona for the WAC Championship. The rest of the squad was compromised of two freshmen, Kacey Dalpes and Viviana Macias, and two sophomores, Laura Barron and Paige Darwin.
Placing her mark as one of the better freshman golfers NM State has ever seen was Dalpes. The Alamogordo, N.M., native played in all 10 tournaments during the season. She was the Aggies' top finisher in eight of those tournaments, including the WAC Championship.
Dalpes led NM State in all major categories including scoring average (77.17), low round (70), low total score (+3 219), best finish (T7), rounds at par or better (3) and birdies (51). She also had the Aggies' only two eagles of the season and finished 64th in the country in par-3 scoring with a 3.13 average. Dalpes had a total of four top 20 finishes, including back-to-back top 10 finishes during the Price's "Give 'Em Five" (T7) and the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown (T9).
Meredith competed in seven tournaments throughout the season and finished second to Dalpes in scoring average (78.90), low round (72), low total score (+9 225) and birdies (37). She was the only other Aggie golfer aside from Dalpes to shoot a round of par or better, shooting two rounds at even par. Meredith had two top 20 finishes with her best finish coming at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational where she finished in a tie for 11th.
Aside from Dalpes, the only other NM State golfer to compete in all 10 tournaments in 2012-13 was Buhl. She finished the season with an 81.87 scoring average, 26 birdies and a best round of 3-over 75, which she shot twice. Her best finish was a tie for 35th during the Folino Invitational.
Barron, meanwhile, only missed one tournament in 2012-13. She finished third on the team in scoring average (81.52), total score (+13 229) and birdies (36). Barron's best finish came at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational where she finished in a tie for 33rd and her best round of the season came during the final day of the season, a 3-over 75 during the final round of the WAC Championship.
Macias joined the Aggies during the spring semester and participated in all five spring tournaments. She finished with an 82.00 scoring average and her best finish was a tie for 45th at the BYU at Entrada Classic. She also holed 18 birdies in just 12 rounds of play.
Darwin played in six tournaments in 2012-13, including the final four of the season. She finished with a scoring average of 83.71 and 11 birdies.
Also competing for NM State in 2012-13 were seniors Marisa Bautista and Cheryl Lo and junior Mieke Canan. Bautista competed in three tournaments, two as an individual player, and had her best finish at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational. Lo and Canan each competed in two tournaments for Aggies. Lo had her best finish during NM State's home tournament. Canan, meanwhile, had her best finish at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown.
With most of the top Aggie golfers returning, the 2013-14 season looks to be one of great golf for NM State. Remember to keep logging on to NMStateSports.com throughout the spring and summer for updates on all team information.

text: The featherweight division is heating up and IMO Frankie is still in the mix. There's some interesting fights for him. He took the fight to Aldo and while i had Aldo 48-47, the third and fifth rounds were close enough that maybe Frankie had a chance. He really needs to work on not getting lit up in the first couple of rounds, he can't count on making the big comeback in the later rounds. I'd like to see a rematch if Frankie convincingly beats 2-3 top guys.

Center Steve Martins was just 26 when he helped the Chicago Wolves capture their first championship, the Turner Cup, in 1998. Ten years and 239 National Hockey League games later, he did it again as a 36-year-old father of two, helping the team capture the 2008 Calder Cup.
Martins treasures the memories of each championship run, and of the 262 games he played for the Wolves over parts of five seasons, but there is one memory that always will stand out as particularly special.
"Winning the Calder Cup in 2008 and having my kids be a part of it," he said without hesitation. "From all my hockey years, I would say, other than playing my first NHL game, that was probably the most special moment; being able to share that with my family.
"It's hard to explain, but having Isabelle and Isac on the ice, and seeing their smiles and their faces and them playing with the confetti – even if they maybe didn't know exactly what was going on – and sharing it with my wife, who had been with the Wolves for quite a long time as well. That moment was at the end of my career, the year before I stopped playing, and it was just a great team and a great experience."
Martins bookended his successful hockey career with stints in Chicago, appearing first with the team in his third professional season in 1997-98, and again from 2006 to 2009. He bore witness to many of the changes the organization went through over the years, which includes shifting from the International Hockey League to the American Hockey League in 2001. He was fortunate to win a championship in both leagues, but notes that raising the cup in 1998 and 2008 were very different experiences.
"They were both special, but very, very different," he said of the two title runs. "Back in 1998, the team didn't have an affiliate. You had a lot of older, either ex-NHL players or free agent NHL players that wanted to finish up their careers, so the composition of our team was very different, and the league itself (the IHL) had a lot more older players. Obviously it was a different team in 2008. We had a lot more prospects and a rookie goaltender – in '98 we had Wendell Young and Stephane Beauregard, both NHL goaltenders, backing us up – it was a different make up."
Despite the differences in the league, Martins found there to be a lot of positive similarities in Chicago over the years.
"The constants were the support of the ownership, and Johnny Anderson miraculously still being there 10 years later. From when I first got picked up by Gene Ubriaco, the Wolves always have been run first class. (Chairman of the Board) Don Levin and (Vice Chairman) Buddy Meyers just really do an outstanding job making sure you have everything you need to succeed, whether it's players, or meals after games, or the occasional extra special team outing, that's been constant."
He also noted the enduring fan support he and his teammates received over the years.
"The fans were always outstanding as well, that was a big similarity between both championship years. I can't say enough about the fans. They've really been so genuine and endearing to me, and to my kids and to my wife."
Martins also enjoyed giving back to the fans who supported him and getting to know them through team sponsored events throughout the years.
"I think the fans really appreciated 'Get Fed by the Wolves,' where they get to sit down and have us be their servers. I always had fun with that," he recalled. "The Season Ticket Holder Party was a huge thing too, because those are the fans that really make up the core of our fan base. They've always been so generous and so gracious to me and my family and so it's really nice to get to know them and see how much hockey means to their families."
Although Martins' career took him across North America and even to Finland, he holds a very special place in his heart for Chicago, and for the Wolves organization in particular – so much so that following his retirement from playing, he continues to reside in the area and represents the organization as a community ambassador – but it's more than just championship hardware that makes him cherish the team.
"I'm very thankful for being able to play here 10 years ago and then come back and end my career here. I feel like I've been very, very fortunate," he said. "I met my wife here when she was working for the team, my kids go to school here, it's been much more than anything I could have imagined.
"I really owe a lot of my life to the organization – my wife, Jennifer, and my two beautiful kids – as sappy as it sounds, the Chicago Wolves really had a lot to do with it, so I'm forever grateful."

Over the weekend, Bronies—fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic—held an online fundraiser for a pair of charitable causes, raising thousands in the process.
"Bronies for Good," a group which has raised thousands of dollars towards a variety of charitable causes in Africa, teamed up with another group of animation fans to raise more money for their causes.
A live stream took place through fan sites of the hit animated series. Fan artists took requests for drawings of their favorite characters or situations while fans donated money through the internet.
The money went two ways—it went towards GalaCon and the Seeds of Kindness 2 fundraiser. Through the online fundraiser, over two thousand dollars was raised for both of these causes.
GalaCon is not only a convention for Pony fans in Germany, but they will be using those funds for charitable causes planned for that convention as well.
Seeds of Kindness 2, as News 4 has reported previously, is a fundraiser raising money for the "Safe Project." They aim to have a chicken farm constructed for a Ugandan Orphanage in Africa. The walls are already up, thanks to over 20 thousand dollars of donations from nearly a thousand fans.

McFarlane Toys' first foray into 5-inch scale vehicles has been a huge success, leaving retailers and fans alike asking for more. We're proud to deliver two new versions of the "M274 Ultra-Light, All-Terrain Vehicle," better known as the Mongoose.
This new version of the Mongoose features the 2-person vehicle as it first appeared in Halo 3. Vehicle comes with a Spartan EVA figure in multiplayer yellow and blue -- the perfect color-coordinated driver for the yellow and blue Elite Flight figure from Series 7.
Our first campaign Mongoose set is inspired by the story of the latest Halo game, Halo 3: ODST. Though not as powerful as a Spartan, Orbital Drop Shock Troopers such as the Rookie have a unique vision enhancement to make up for it: VISR mode. This low-light amplification system outlines friendly units in green and enemy units in red.
This VISR mode Mongoose set is designed to go perfectly with the Brute Captain figure in Halo Series 8. Click here for more info and photos of those figures.
VISR mode helps an ODST see in the dark, so we've added a special bonus feature to help you see our VISR mode figures in the dark: glow-in-the-dark paint! Leave either of our VISR mode figures under a bright light for at least ten minutes, turn out the lights, and you'll see its glowing outline, just like in the game.
>> VISR Mode Rookie, Mongoose and Brute Captain figures (sold separately)
Both new Mongoose sets are scheduled to reach stores nationwide in early April. For more information on our Halo action figures, click here.
