Employees have a choice of primary and supplemental retirement plans, as follows:
Primary Retirement Plans
Over ninety-five percent of Penn State employees participate in the following two primary retirement plans. Both plans require employee contribution.
SERS – State Employees' Retirement System
A pension plan, SERS provides a fixed dollar annuity, with benefits determined by length of service and average salary for the three highest years of earnings.
Similar to a 401(k), TIAA-CREF is a 403(b) plan. Retirement income is determined by the amount of money contributed to the account by the employee and the University, the employee's age at retirement, and the performance of TIAA-CREF investments in various investment vehicles (money market, common stock, etc.).
The individual features of the SERS and TIAA-CREF plans, including other features not mentioned here, may make one or the other plan preferable for you. Penn State provides employees with the necessary information for making an informed decision.
Supplemental Retirement Plans
In addition to the primary retirement plans, Penn State offers optional opportunities for deferring part of your salary as planned retirement income. These include a Tax-Deferred Annuity Plan/TDA – 403(b) and a Deferred Compensation Plan/DCP – 457(b). Penn State has contracted with TIAA-CREF to provide both the supplemental 403(b) and 457(b) plans.

Serbian Thaw: Melting Danube Ice Creates Chaos in Belgrade
The Arctic cold front was long and hard. Yet now that temperatures are warming up across Europe, melting snow and ice are causing chaos as well. Hundreds of boats and barges on the Danube have been crushed by huge chunks of ice and officials are concerned about flooding.
As the Arctic cold front gripped Europe in the first half of February, a thick slab of ice formed on the Danube, one of the Continent's most important waterways. Ship trafffic came to a standstill in many areas; the ice in some places was half a meter thick.
On Monday, dislodged ice chunks crashed into hundreds of anchored boats and swept away a number of barges. Furthermore, Belgrade's most popular floating restaurant, part of the city's collection of river-bank hotspots, has sunk. No injuries have been reported despite the damage.
"We are trying to salvage whatever we can. Only a handful of boats remained intact from about a hundred we had in the marina," boat owner Mihailo Svilaric told Reuters. Others said that the ice arrived so quickly that there was little to be done to prevent the damage.
Concerns of Flooding
Given the severity of the cold snap in the Balkans, however, most official concern was focused elsewhere. Some 20 people have lost their lives in Serbia as a result of the cold with the death toll in other countries much higher. Furthermore, several thousand people in southern Serbia remain cut off by massive snowfall. Officials are now concerned about widespread flooding once the thaw sets in at higher altitudes. On Monday, US military helicopters helped evacuate people from areas of Montenegro that have become unreachable because of heavy snow.
Further up the Danube in Germany, some parts of the river remain frozen and shipping traffic continues to be blocked. Warmer weather, however, is forecasted this week.

Siemens For Venezuelan Power Plant
Two phase construction for simple-cycle and combined-cycle plants
Siemens received an order to supply two power islands for the Juan Manuel Valdez Güiria CCPPs in the port city Güiria in the eastern Venezuelan province of Sucre. These plants will be constructed in two phases: the first phase construction will be the simple-cycle, followed by the combined-cycle in the second phase.
Siemens will engineer and supply major equipment in the first phase including four SGT6-5000F gas turbines, four SGen6-1000A generators, four bypass stacks, as well as the instrumentation and control equipment. Phase one will have a total capacity of approximately 700 MW.
Phase two will include engineering and supply of major equipment including four heat recovery steam generators, two SST6-5000 steam turbines with generators, and the instrumentation and control system. Siemens will also provide technical field assistance (TFA) during the commissioning and construction for both phases of the project.
"This important project to Venezuela's power needs marks another milestone in our long history of supplying reliable power plant solutions in Venezuela," said Rainer Hauenschild, CEO of Energy Solutions at Siemens Energy. "Siemens has been active in Venezuela for almost 60 years, and we are currently active in the construction of the Termocentro power plant near Caracas and Termozulia III in Maracaibo."
The customer is Elecnor, which is erecting the power plant in Güiria on a turnkey basis for Petróleos de Venezuela S. A., the largest oil company in Latin America. The plant is scheduled to begin commercial operation in 2015.

The game was fast paced with both sides rolling wave after wave of attack; the sort of match that could be influenced by the smallest error or a special moment in play.
Hurst began the sharper and were first to score when Rory Green closed down an attempted Worth clearance and side stepped two defenders. Worth rallied and responded brightly with a converted penalty kick to give both sides points on the scoreboard.
In an end to end half, Worth successfully used the chip and run route to notch two converted tries, split by a Zack Henry run into the far corner for Hurst. The half closed with the Worth leading 17-12.
Shortly after the break play settled on the Hurst ten metre line. Gathering from a kicked clearance Will Scrase sent the ball travelling across the Hurst back line before Richard Sharp ran a cutting angle through the defence and finished the move; sending momentum back to the visitors.
Hurst were adding pressure when a scrum, five metres from the Worth try line, resulted in another five points from Richard Sharp and two more points from the boot of Zack Henry.
Wiser to Worth's kicking game, Hurst were able to catch and carry the ball into more dangerous positions on the pitch in search of the next, potentially crucial, score.
Worth fought hard but when Brad Gayler off-loaded to Richard Sharp on the half way line, he completed his hat-trick and sent Hurst through to the next round, just two matches away from the quarter-finals.
Delighted with his team, Coach and Director of Sport, Rob Kift, said "Given this combination had not played together before, the side gelled really well and came through with flying colours."
This win sets up an exciting match against St Joseph's College in Ipswich in the next round.

Seinfeld turns 25 today. Here are six TV shows that are also hitting the quarter-century mark this year.
It's hard to believe that 25 years ago, Seinfeld hit the small screen in the US. It was a show about nothing, and remained a show about nothing until its end in 1998. Created by writer Larry David and comedian Jerry Seinfeld – who starred as himself – Seinfeld followed the "adventures" of four single friends who lived in New York City.
It was easy to relate to Jerry, Elaine, Kramer and George, thanks in part to clever writing and comic timing of the actors. The success of Seinfeld inspired the creation of other New York City-based sitcoms that also highlighted the "plight" of single folks: Friends, Sex And The City, Will & Grace, How I Met Your Mother and The Mindy Project.
Seinfeld ran for nine seasons and wasn't just a commercial success – actually, it still is since it's in syndication. It's also been a favourite of critics the world over, appearing in many "greatest TV programme" lists. While other shows that made their debut the same year as Seinfeld in 1989 didn't fare as well – save for The Simpsons – many are still memorable. Here are six of our favourites:
Doogie Howser, MD (1989-1993)
If you were a teenager in the 1990s, you'd remember being so awestruck by teen doc Doogie Howser, the star of this sitcom. Played to perfection by a young Neil Patrick Harris, Doogie was a child genius who became the youngest doctor in the US at age 14 – the show began with him at age 16. Apart from having a busy life saving lives, Doogie still went through his life like any other teen. His best friend Vinnie (Max Casella) lived next door, his girlfriend Wanda (Lisa Dean Ryan) was pretty cute, and he wrote in his diary every day. Actually, the diary was his computer, so at the end of each episode, viewers would see him typing in his entry.
Saved By The Bell (1989-1993)
Here's one sitcom from the 1990s that was so well-loved by teen despite being so cheesy it hurts. Perhaps the collection of good-looking kids like Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Mario Lopez, Lark Voorhies and Elizabeth Berkley had something to do with it.
Saved By The Bell was pretty much your basic high school comedy that featured a group of friends – there was a nice guy, a jock, a bookworm, a cheerleader and an all-round silly guy – who faced normal teenage problems, as well as touched on social issues like drug abuse, broken families and bullying. The show spawned two spin-offs and two movies. Maybe it's time someone suggested a Saved By The Bell: The Millennials version for today's teens.
Quantum Leap (1989-1993)
A show about a guy who can literally "leap" into another place, time and body? Yes, please!
Quantum Leap starred the handsome Scott Bakula as quantum physicist from the future Sam Beckett, who became "lost" in time during a botched time travel experiment. When he leaped, Sam temporarily took the place of someone else, usually in a different location and period. Sam's sidekick Al (Dean Stockwell) didn't leap with him, but he did help him out. Al appeared as a hologram that only Sam, animals, kids and mentally ill folks could see. Quantum Leap was a favourite among viewers and critics not just because of its interesting storyline, but also for its humorous script.
Family Matters (1989-1997)
This sitcom never really took off in a big way in Malaysia, but many of us are familiar with its star character: Steve Urkel. With huge, thick glasses, bright-coloured shirts, high-waisted pants, suspenders and a grating voice that would annoy even the most docile, Urkel was the entertainment industry's uber nerd.
Played by Jaleel White, Urkel was the accidental star of Family Matters. The show initially focused on the lives of the Winslow family members, who lived next to the Urkels. Although White found international fame as the nerdy character, he's said before that it was tough for him to find work post-Family Matters as he would only get offers to play Urkel-esque characters.
Baywatch (1989-1999)
A series that revolved around the drama of lifeguards in California was bound to happen. Why? Because of bikinis, hot buff bodies, and perpetual tans.
Baywatch began in 1989 with David Hasselhoff (who ended his Knight Rider stint a few years prior) and Parker Stevenson (who starred in The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries) as seniors in the LA County Lifeguards unit. Their team consisted of a group of pretty young things that included every girl's dream guys Eddie (Billy Warlock) and Matt (David Charvet), and every boy's dream girls Shauni (Erika Eleniak), Summer (Nicole Eggert), Caroline (Yasmine Bleeth), Lani (Carmen Electra) and CJ (Pamela Anderson).
Funny enough, Baywatch was initially cancelled by the studio after the first season. However, Hasselhoff and the show's creators decided to revive it in 1991 as a syndicated series, which proved to be a smart move as it became a commercial success not just in the US but globally too. There was also a Baywatch: Hawaii edition (1999-2001), which introduced us to the hunk that is Jason Momoa aka Game Of Thrones' Khal Drogo.
The Simpsons (1989-today)
It's the greatest TV cartoon of all time, the show that has received a ton of awards and even more nominations – The Simpsons is so popular all over the world there's really no other series one can compare it with. In September, it will kick off its 26th season in the US; it is the longest-running American sitcom, the longest-running American animated programme and the longest-running scripted primetime TV series in the US. Need we say more?

"This demonstration has shown the potential for patterned metal tracking using electroless metal deposition as a replacement for both ITO and traditional sputtered tracking," said CDT. "ITO is widely used as a transparent conductor in the displays, lighting and photovoltaics industries, but is in short supply and expensive."
ITO is also brittle and prone to cracking, particularly on flexible substrates
The copper mesh is not etched, but deposited using a process developed by Conductive Inkjet Technology (CIT), a subsidiary of optics firm Carclo.
CIT prints a pattern of catalyst on the substrate, which causes copper to be laid-down when it is immersed in a metal-containing solution.
Copper tracks under 10µm have been deposited on glass "resulting in a highly transparent, highly conductive surface without the voltage drops of ITO-based technologies," claimed CDT. "By applying a conductive polymer to these grids, a true ITO replacement has been demonstrated."
Jim Veninger is general manager at CDT.
"While further development is required, I can see CIT's technology supporting processes for OLED lighting in the near future," he said.
The results have come from a project called Nomad, which includes both CDT and CIT, and is part-funded by the Government's Technology Strategy Board.
"We are extremely happy with the progress made in this project, and to see that this new approach may soon be ready for commercial exploitation in OLED lighting. This is yet another great example of world class businesses coming together in the UK to develop innovative technology with global market potential," said the TSB's lead electronics technologist Mike Biddle.

I've been on the pill for about 2 months, the first month was fine. When i started taking my white pills i got my period on the 3rd pill. I was very emotional, cried a lot about anything. Once i started my next pack of pills i was fine. I am currently on my 5th white pill and still haven't started my period. I know I'm not pregnant, because i haven't had sex. So is there any way that you can stop having a period while taking all the pills?

Okay, Thanks. I just don't want it to start when I'm on my active pills, because I'm going on vacation next week and that wont make the beach very fun.
7 Jun 2013
Oh, it never fails does it!? If you wanted to, you could try skipping your period by going straight to your new pack. Since you already took 5 inactives, it is no guarantee, but it might work. Next time, if your period is due close to vacation, dont take the inactives, go straight to the new pack with no break. It is okay to do this once or twice a year for special occasions where you dont want the inconvenience of your period. Your period can come any time during the inactive tablets and it may not always come on the same one every month. Your stress is likely delaying your period, then I truly think that Satan controls our periods because they ALWAYS seem to come during any vacations, days off, long weekends, beach trips for sure, etc! lol I'm just kidding about the Satan part but it does seem that way some times.
I have been having my period for 35 years or so and it never seems to fail! Mine will come early if I plan a trip a week or two before or it will be late if I plan for after! lol There's the reason that women used to refer to it as "the curse"! I am praying for menopause!

On the Fourth of July people across the United States celebrate their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The same spirit that created thousands of spectacular fireworks displays is applied everyday by people in all walks of life. It's how Americans live and it's how the nation stays on the forefront of many things—including the self storage industry.
There are few businesses that are as good an example of the American spirit as the self storage industry is. Made up of mostly single to small business owners it is the perfect example of people providing others with a simple product—space– and making a living.
Not only do they provide people with much needed space, but they figure out how to take something that is essentially nothing and make it better.
For example, City Line Self Storage in Johnston, New York, is making plans to add 63 new units to their existing structure. They will not be any old units though, but climate controlled ones.
The new building would be just like the others in appearance with the difference coming in the units themselves. Of the 63, 30 will be heated units while the other 33 will be for cold storage.
"This building is quite different from the existing building we have," Brian Hanaburgh, one of the co-owners, said. "It will be a nice addition to round out that piece of property there."
Rather than be satisfied with the status quo the company is working on improving itself and becoming even better than it was before; a quality often found in people—not just businessmen—in the United States. Climate-controlled units are not something new in the self storage industry, but what's important here is the company' desire to improve.
However, in true American fashion, before they can do anything they have to get approval from the city first. They have already brought the plans to the city planning board and filed an application. A hearing has been set for August 6.
"This is something new – heating and air-conditioning and climate-controlled," said board Chairman Peter K. Smith.
The American spirit is what drives many people to success. It helps them take what appears to be nothing or next to nothing and turn it into a desirable product—like Jeffrey Williams did in upstate New York recently when he gained approval to add 80 self storage units.
The site for them once was the location for some outdoor volleyball courts for a local bar.

text: Personally i think its BS that we have to categorize EVERY band, Every album and Every song into a specific title. it pisses me off that we disregard some bands because it is a certain type genre of music. yes, we do need genres of music but no the shit were you break ONE main genre like metal into 20 different smaller, worthless categories. leave it to stupid ****ing humans to ruin music and everything else. and don't bother replying or anything because quite frankly, i could give a **** less what you have to say. its my opinion and you may be another stereotypically human. someday maybe someone can just disregard that bullshit and really hear a band out, its not easy being a musicina. its not easy to get recognized, or write material a lot. thats why bands fade and leave the picture. so i have nothing more left to say but to bring back music to what it used to be. back when nothing mattered.. good music was good music. it wasn't put into a specific genre as to disregard all types of music in that genre.. :mad:

Hi everyone. So as you can probably tell from the title, I'm not great with women. I'm 27 and I've had very little experience with the opposite sex and in those instances it's always been the woman who initiated things. I did get a girls' number a few months ago which was terrifying, but she was a barmaid and I did have to have a fair few number of drinks before I worked up the courage to ask.
Anyway, there's a girl who works at my local cinema. I've seen her several times but only recently discovered that she's single. Based on some old fashioned Facebook stalking I know she's around the same age and shares my geeky love for books and movies. We have spoke a couple of times but only fleetingly and I doubt I left much of an impression beyond being a charming customer. I want to ask her out for a coffee but from what I've read online, a lot of girls find it creepy being chatted up by complete strangers, particularly at a workplace where they may find it embarrassing in front of others.
So I need a bit of help. Should I work my way into it, speak to her a couple of times and then ask her? Or should I just go for it?
Views: 1030
There also may be something on AoM's blog.
You say, "Hi, I was just on my way to see a movie. Would you care to accompany me?" If she's worth it, she'll get it.
But if I've got it right, the girl works at the cinema and he usually meets her during working time (is it right, Steve?).
So I think about he can ask her out without being awkward.
Well, I think if there's no other customer around you can ask her directly.
Or perhaps try something as "If you would pick a movie you haven't watched yet, which one it would be?" and then you ask her to join you when she's not working.
It's a joke Kluk.
You could ask her out for caramels, it's just as arbitrary as asking her out for coffee (Good Will Hunting reference there).
=D Ops!
I should already be used to Shane's sense of humor.
Have you introduced yourself yet? If not then do so.
"Hi, my name's Steve, would you like to go eat some caramels with me?" She may get the reference.
In my opinion speaking to her a couple of times and then asking is just postponeing.
Speak to her, smile, make her laugh and tell her that it would be nice to go out together and trade numbers. Works at least sometimes.
To each his own, but I would imagine that many a woman would be reluctant to go out with someone she just met, before getting a good feel for who he is, in case he's dangerous. I don't think this is just me, because I kept running into it in how-to-date discussions back when: on a blind date, offer to meet her in a public place. That way she's not wondering, Will this guy start bugging me at my house?
I know its easier said than done but you have got to make the move, otherwise someone else will. Here's the thing, she might say no. Its no big deal if she does say no, tell yourself that 100x if you have to. If she says no you do not want it to look like it phased you.
Here is a sample dialogue:
"Hey (girl), it's really nice to see you again. How is (insert something you discussed last time you met, not from internet stalking) going?"
her - "Blah, Blah, Blah"
You "Awe that's excellent, (insert non sexual compliment). Hey I'm about to catch a movie, what would you recommend?"
Her - "Blah Blah"
You - "Thanks. I'd love to chat more but I have to run to catch the movie. What do you say we grab a coffee sometime, I'd really like to get to know you better. May I have your number?"
She may say no, but she may also say yes. The only way to find out is to ask. No amount of Facebook stalking is going to get her to go out with you. Banish any wishy-washy behavior before you talk to her. No mutterings (Um, ahh, like, etc), speak clearly, stand confidently with open body language, smile and think about emulating warmth.
Whatever you do, don't ever admit to internet stalking or admiring her from afar.
There is a book called THE GAME. It is a book on how to become a pick up artist, or a player. Despite this fact, it will give you some really good tricks on how to start talking to females. There is a follow-up book by the same author called, Rules of THE GAME, which is more like a work book. I am not encouraging you (or anyone else) to be a player, it is a sad existence, but the book(s) will give you some really good tricks and tips, and having these trick and tips will help build your confidence. I'm sure you're a good guy. In case you don't want to read the book... here are some tips:
1) Learn a magic trick (everyone like magic done well) and it is a way to break the ice without coming off like a creeper.
2) Don't NOT start by introducing yourself, that is the type of thing used car salesmen do and it doesn't work with women... it comes off as awkward (no offense to used car salesmen).
3) Start by asking her opinion on something... For example: I only have a minute because my movie is going to start (saying this or something like it lets her know you are not going to be some kind of creep who is going to take up too much of her time), but My friends and I (saying this suggests you have friends, again less creepy than a lone stranger) are doing a survey (this answers the question "why is this guy talking to me", and you are asking her opinion... people like giving their opinion) then ask any questions you want.
Is this local coffee joint better or is this other one better?
Do you think the this movie was better thank the sequel?
Do you think this book is better than this other book (or the movie version)?
You get my point... Any survey type question with LIMITED CHOICES will work. Maybe ask a question related to the information you gathered on you FACEBOOK stocking (by the way, good idea, information is power).
Good luck buddy.
If it works let me know.
By the way, when she answers, act interested in her answer but be true to your word and leave... let her know you will see her again, and say something like... "Thanks, that's what most people are saying. I will see you around, maybe next time I will have another survey question." then smile and leave. The next time you see her, remind her of your previous conversation... the survey question, and either have another question or don't but if she seems interested, have a short conversation, and end it by saying "maybe we can have some coffee sometime" right before you leave (this is a non-confrontational way of planting the seed, there is no risk for either of you, and most of the time she will say "sure, maybe" or something like that) . The next time you see her, have another short conversation and ask her for coffee or something.
Thanks guys. The next time I go in I'm gonna try and talk to her and gauge how she reacts. If it feels right, I'll ask her there and then but if it feels forced, or if there are too many people around, I'll put it off until a later time.
"excuse me,, Ma'am? Does this cloth smell like chloroform to you?"
Just ask her dude, Nut up and just flat out ask her out on a date. Just have a plan for what you'd like to do before hand. Ask her specifically to dinner or whatever the case may be.

The Interloper
During the twilight of the now-adjourned legislative session, it became clear that state lawmakers had all but discarded any work on new stadium proposals. This was a particular fall from grace for the Twins, who had brokered a deal with Hennepin County whose passage, just weeks earlier, seemed a forgone conclusion. Now that that's over, it's worth recalling mid-June, when the owners of the proposed ballpark site announced that they had teamed with an international real estate developer to fast-track the transformation of their downtown Minneapolis parcels--with or without a stadium.
It seemed as much out of left field as the stadium deal itself; the purveyors of "Twinsville," a marketing concept writ large in just the last year, pretty much propelled the renewed movement toward a ballpark just northwest of the Target Center. What's more, nobody knew much about Hines Interests, the Houston-grown urban developer with more than 80 offices worldwide and some 900 development and management credits to its name. As Bill Chopp, the local rep for Hines, quipped to the Strib on June 12, most people "think we are the ketchup company."
Even so, Bruce Lambrecht and Rich Pogin, the co-owners of the Rapid Park lot that would house the new Twins stadium, have essentially turned the entire project over to their "development partner." Turns out there are a number of reasons why the move made sense. For starters, it could have served to force the stadium issue at the legislature, spurring lawmakers to approve the sales tax needed by Hennepin County to foot a good portion of the ballpark bill. (That didn't pay off in the short term, but some legislators and even the governor are talking about another special session in the fall to address stadium issues.)
Additionally, Hennepin County needs to buy the air rights and land for a stadium. With Hines on board, the Twinsville owners could boast that they had a legitimate partner to carry forward a city of Minneapolis master plan for Downtown East/North Loop. City leaders have long looked at the mostly industrial area as ripe for gentrification, and Hines would be a significant piece that spurs major public-private redevelopment. Earlier in the session, funding for a Northstar commuter rail line was approved at the Capitol, with a major stop in the heart of the Twinsville. Other transit plans and infrastructure are already in place. In other words, Pogin and Lambrecht all but removed themselves from the political battle that is sure to take place as the land becomes increasingly valuable.
It's a theory that Mike Opat, the Hennepin County commissioner who put together the deal with the Twins, doesn't dispute. "It was smart to get out of the politics of it," Opat says of Lambrecht and Pogin. "They fancy themselves as lobbyists at the Capitol. But the perception was that they were just self-interested land barons."
When the Hennepin County Board held a public hearing on the stadium issue in late April, Dave Lawless, the county's budget director, made a curious comment. Commissioner Gail Dorfman pressed Lawless on the hidden costs in the proposal, especially how much it would cost the county to buy the land. Lawless said some numbers had been bandied about, but declined to say what those were. Then he urged the commissioners, "Don't share those with the public."
"It's a well-guarded secret," says Steve Minn, the former Minneapolis council member who now is a developer around town. "There's a number. I assure you Pogin and Lambrecht have said, 'If you get to X, then you can have it.'" Minn surmises, however, that the number has never been put in writing by either party, because it would then be available through data practices laws.
Sometime around 1985 or 1986, according to Pogin, he and his partner bought the Rapid Park site, along with some other vacant lots that were not particularly desirable two decades ago. But that was before the rejuvenated Warehouse District, the Target Center, and the current downtown housing boom. Through three different interests--Land Partners II, Duddy Limited Partnership, and Minikahda Mini Storage LTD--Pogin and Lambrecht own land assessed at some $16.7 million and bounded by Washington Avenue, North Seventh Street, and Third Avenue North, according to state and county records. (Some believe the land is worth twice as much as that.) According to Hennepin County, the Rapid Park lot is worth some $5.4 million. (Pogin and Lambrecht have another $9.7 million in land from two storage facilities they run in Fridley and St. Louis Park.) A deal the two had offered the county--seven acres of the stadium site for some $13 million and a couple of parcels--went off the table in January.
If the two have learned one thing from sitting on a piece of property that was once left for dead, it's patience. They've also earned the reputation as rather savvy entrepreneurs. After all, they are the ones behind "Twinsville"--a made-up moniker for the area surrounding Rapid Park. Their take-it-or-leave-it attitude toward a ballpark seems a stunning about-face.
"We're on a two-track plan," Pogin says, "Frankly, the stadium makes it a more difficult plan."
Further complicating matters is the presence of Hines. Started in Houston in 1957 by Gerald Hines, the private company has become a paragon of international urban development, managing some 93 million square feet of space and controlling $11 billion in assets. Trade magazines list it as the second-largest office owner in the United States, and largest office developer. But it also has done major projects in London, Moscow, Warsaw, and Beijing. In recent years, Hines increasingly has ventured into the stadium market, building Petco Park in San Diego for the Padres and a hockey arena in Glendale, Arizona, for the Phoenix Coyotes.
Locally, Hines has been referred to as "the biggest private landlord in downtown Minneapolis" and owns some 40 percent of the "Class A" space downtown, most notably the Wells Fargo Center, U.S. Bank Plaza (formerly the Pillsbury Center), and other major office towers. Hennepin County records value some of the Hines properties at $100.7 million, $89 million, and $11.7 million.
There has been talk of grandiose plans--mostly from Pogin--for anywhere from 1,000 (with stadium) to 3,000 (without) condo units, along with potential retail and office space that would transform the suddenly burgeoning North Loop neighborhood. But local Hines rep Chopp is less than forthcoming about details, saying that the plans are in very early stages. "We don't know if we'll do office or residential or maybe even a hotel," Chopp says, adding that there are swaths of land in the area owned by the county and the city that Hines would like to get control of. "And we're less sure of a stadium."
Both Chopp and Pogin point to the passage of the Northstar funding this legislative session as a key turn of events, guaranteeing that the area will be a transit hub. Pogin and Lambrecht's vacant lots are suddenly more valuable than ever.
It's a fact not lost on Opat, who still holds out hope for a ballpark. "They can inflate the value if they really have a plan for it,"' Opat notes, hinting that the county might use eminent domain rights should the cost spiral out of control. "If they forgo the opportunity to have a ballpark, it would be a foolish choice."
That's why it's essential for Hines and the landowners to come up with a plan as quickly as possible. Chopp says that the city's master plan for the area is the "model" for what they're considering, while Pogin says a two-year plan, complete with budget, is nearly completed. Is this a ploy to avoid eminent domain? "Oh, absolutely," Pogin responds, adding, "It's always a lose when we go through a condemnation."
As for Minn, a relatively disinterested observer, he sees the strategy benefiting both the county and the developers. "The Hennepin County commissioners can make a public panic by saying eminent domain is the only way to get the land," Minn asserts, adding that condemnation is a costly process. "Then they can justify whatever figure they pay for it. It's a fair negotiation tactic for both sides."

Wondering if you found information on your Robert Hickel.I am looking for several folks in Barton County Kansas to see if their families can help me with information regarding my ancestors who died there many years ago. One death occured in 1918 and the other in 1955 and I seek information and/or photos on them.For the death of Anna Penka Skolaut in 1955, I have been able to learn that the names listed as pallbearers were: Merle Steiner, Louis Steiner(who also signed the death certificate I think), Robert Steiner, Martin Steiner, Martin Hickel, Bob Hickel and Leo Moeder.

Amanda Gosik Lost an Incredible 175 Pounds. "I Weigh Less Now Than I Did in the 6th Grade."
If you're a parent you know the feeling of wanting more for your children, greater happiness, more friendships, a better education, etc. That feeling of devotion was especially true for Amanda Gosik, a mother of three from Missouri. Though she had been heavy all of her life, she didn't get serious about weight loss until a doctor told her that her 3-year-old was considered obese. That was Amanda's wakeup call.
"That was the sign I needed to get serious and make some changes or my family would suffer," admitted Amanda. After losing an astonishing 175 pounds, she's truly leading by example.
More from Amanda in her own words:
When did your weight struggles begin? "I have always been large aside from early childhood. My first and second grade pictures are tiny and then by third grade I was noticeably overweight. My 6th grade year I wore a size 20 pants. I battled to lose during my teens and early 20's and nothing changed."
What habits specifically led you to gain weight? "Eating my feelings were a big part of it, I'm sure. Growing up in a house where takeout happened all the time and 'cooked' meals were fried or TV dinners didn't help either."

- "Hello Web Admin" – I am not a web admin, I am a blogger using a basic WordPress layout.
- "I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing…" – Your opening sentence contains a basic grammatical error (repetition of the word "is"), probably put there to make this automated comment appear to be written especially for me. If this had been personally written for me then, apart from being addressed to me, rather than "Web Admin", you would have also proof-read the message to ensure errors like this are not made. It gives a VERY bad impression and would put most people off dealing with you straight away – thereby undermining your entire advertising campaign.
- "…also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization." – You are perfectly right on this one, because I don't want to use bold or italics for SEO optimization. I want to use them for emphasis and therefore use them as they were intended to be used!
- "There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword" – There are 2 links in the post you commented on linking within my site and a huge picture in the middle of it with my name on the alt tag. I can't really see any reason to search for my blog other than by my name so the advice you are giving me is stuff I'm already doing. I'm beginning to think you didn't even read my blog post.
- " just watch this 4minute video for more information at. WordPress Seo Plugin" [link deactivated on purpose for posting to blog] – Oh, you want me to visit your site (probably full of loads more advertising that is not relevant to me) and watch a video… Why didn't you just ask me to do that in the first place?! I wont, and I still wouldn't had you asked right out, but it could have saved my time reading all that drivel about SEO.
- Type in paragraphs. It makes it easier for people to read and understand.
- Don't keep repeating SEO and On-Page SEO if you are not going to explain what it actually is – Search Engine Optimization.
- This is a personal blog and I don't care about getting people to view my trifle of a site unless they are either a] friends / family, b] interested in hiring me as an actor, comedian, technician or writer, c] have worked with me in any of the formerly mentioned capacities in the past. In all three cases there would be no particular need of viewing my blog unless there had previously been some real world contact. If anybody else wants to stumble across my site and read, that's up to them.
- The only thing I would want people to be able to search for to find my site is my name. This is in the URL, in the page name, in the page title, marked as author of all material (bar comments) published on the site and features repeatedly on my contact page. As I have a rather rare spelling of my first name, searching for my name gives links to information about me in 8 of the top ten results on Google – the first being the blog you commented on.
So as you can see, your advertising is flawed, I have no need of your services and if you had actually looked at the page rather than spamming my comments you would have seen that my SEO if already in place without me even trying.
Kindly fuck off and stop sending out this utter tripe.

Tranny Cum Swappers
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
If you like chicks with dicks, not to mention cum swapping, then you'll be quite delighted by the exclusive content on Tranny Cum Swappers. Few tranny sites make a point of showing shemales swapping semen, so the fact that this one does makes it special. That said, the collection won't exactly overwhelm you when it comes to its size.
TrannyCumSwappers has 44 videos and that's three more than we found a year and a half ago, but according to the dates on the scenes it has been a year since the last scene was added. Still, the good news is that over half come in HD, while the others still look good and all of them have versions for portable devices. You can also stream the scenes in an embedded Flash player.
Many of the transsexuals appear to be Brazilian and a few of them are Asian, so you know that most of these T-babes have exotic looks. The studs whom the trannies get to share vary in appearance. Most are muscular and have thick schlongs that really fill those tiny tranny butts. These macho males make the shemales seem much more delicate and feminine.
You can also check out 44 photo sets in a hands-free slideshow. They have high-res images and let you know what to expect from the footage. After all, they have around 200shots per set, so you're seeing the action in almost frame-by-frame detail. For me, it's especially nice to see the cumshot part captured.
The best thing about the website is all the bonus content. There are additional vids and pics and a lot more "channels" to check out from the Tranny network, like Cum Filled Trannys, Tranny Banged My Wife, Tranny Sandwich, Tranny Auditions and Glazed Trannys.
Tranny Cum Swappers isn't the biggest or best site out there, but it does feature content that you won't see in many other places. With high-quality videos and a low price tag, the website is worth a look and you might stick around for a while should the bonuses interest you as well.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

ALT-AZ Star Hopping Question
Posted 31 March 2014 - 03:07 PM
I have an alt-az goto tracking mount and I go through the process of a three star align or whatever process the specific mount has to align itself.
I then do a goto to Sirius.
Question 1: If after all my aligning, Sirius is not "dead center", can I use the manual controls to center the star and then do a "sync" to improve it's knowledge of where it is?
OK, so Sirius is now centered and my journey for the evening is to star hop to the Orion Nebula. So I study my Stellarium display and chart myself a path.
Question 2: If I start slewing away from Sirius using the hand controller, (a little bit of azimuth, a little bit of altitude and so on), will the computer keep track of my coordinates so that it always knows where it is pointing so that it will track it's current location properly?
Question 3: If along the way, I find something interesting but don't know what it is, is there a way to get a read out of the current position in ra/dec (and/or alt az) so that I can note the coordinates and later go to stellarium to see what it was I stumbled across?
Thank you.
Posted 31 March 2014 - 03:18 PM
Posted 31 March 2014 - 03:44 PM
You don't mention the model of mount you own, so some of your questions are impossble to answer. Likely, however, the long and short of it is that the mount will retain its alignment as long as you don't undo the altitude or azimuth locks.
Of course it always possible that Uncle Rod will send some gremlin that loosens the locks while you aren't looking and messes up your alignment...
It seems unlikely but it happens more often than you think.

yes it will display the Ra/Dec if you ask it to
yes it will display its alt/az position, but its used mostly for land based objects that positions don't change
yes you can goto a selected star and then slew left/right, up/down and it will tell it your current postion when you find something interesting, and if your aligned properly you can press a button and it will tell you what the object is that you found. hope this helps.

Good seats as usual (two rows behind critic Anne Midgette!). All-Bruckner concert is excellent and highly recommended. The opening motets were fine and the 8th symphony was thrilling. The best I've ever heard the NSO. A don't miss.

The conductor had complete control over all his resources as well as a mastery of the music. The NSO should program more of this kind of music.

Synopsis: Based off the novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, a 9-11-themed book that centers on Oskar Schell, an ambitious young nine-year-old who scours New York City in search of a lock that a key his father left him will open. The boy's father died in the 9-11 attacks and Oskar was also said to be an amateur inventor, jewelry designer, astrophysicist, tambourine player and pacifist at such a young age.

Olympus Stylus 600 (mju 600 Digital) review
It's a good camera to keep in your pocket.
Those of you who expected to get professional results in their photographs from a compact camera should think twice.
A compact camera is meant to help us take pictures anywhere we go without needing to carry equipment and stuff but it's not built to eliminate the SLRs or the DSLRs...
Knowing that the traditional film "gives us" at least 20megapixels(considering the asa and the trade), the digital photography section is like a newborn now.
The usual problems of compact digital cameras...

Nate McCoy Earns Spot At NCAA Championships
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Iowa State's Nate McCoy earned his Canadian Tour card last week, but his professional career will have to be put on hold. The senior from West Des Moines fired a final-round 71 this afternoon at the NCAA Bowling Green Regional, finishing seventh at 212 (73-68-71) and earning an individual spot at the 2012 NCAA Championships, May 29-June 3 at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
McCoy captured the regional's lone individual qualifying berth by outlasting Arkansas' Ethan Tracy, who was one shot back at 213. McCoy, who started on No. 10, bogeyed No. 8, but finished with a birdie on the last hole (No. 9). Tracy was a stroke back with two holes to go and the Razorback missed a 10-footer on 18 which would have forced a playoff.
McCoy now becomes the first Cyclone to play in the NCAA Championships as an individual since the Regional format was implemented in 1989.
"I think back on my freshman year and I set a goal to someday play in the NCAA Championships," McCoy said. "It came down to my last year on my last hole."
Hole No. 9 had given the Cyclones fits all week. A solid tee shot is necessary to successfully navigate the 453-yard, monster par-4.
"Once I got on the tee, I knew I had to hit the fairway," McCoy said. "I hit a really good tee shot. I had about 177 left and hit a 7-iron to about 5-6 feet. I didn't know where I stood but I knew I needed a birdie. It was a little left-to-right putt and I got it to go in."
Iowa State as a team tied for ninth, firing rounds of 305-288-293 for an 886 total. The top-five teams advanced to the NCAA Championships and the Cyclones were 10 shots back of the final team qualifier Memphis at 876.
Freshman Sam Daley tied for 30th at 223 after carding a 75 this afternoon. Borja Virto tied for 35th, a shot back of Daley at 224 behind a 74 this afternoon.
Chattanooga won the team title at 859.
McCoy will now prepare for the NCAA Championships on one of the most legendary courses in the country. Riviera has hosted two PGA Championships (1983, 1995) and one United States Open (1948).
The senior will continue one of the greatest seasons a Cyclone has ever produced on the links. An All-Big 12 First-Team pick, McCoy, who is on pace to break the school's single-season scoring mark, produced eight top-10 performances and won two tournaments this season.
Iowa State head coach Andrew Tank tried to put McCoy's accomplishment in perspective.
"It is very difficult to make the NCAA Championships as an individual," Tank said. "There are 14 really good teams here, so when you come to a tournament like this in the postseason, the level of competition is extremely high. Nate and I both would like to have our team there, but he is going to go down there and be an outstanding representative of Iowa State University."
"He was hitting fairways and greens on his last nine holes," Tank added. "I think he just missed one green on the back nine. He was giving himself opportunities all day. He made a nice putt on six for birdie and he played the last hole perfect."
McCoy can't wait to get to L.A.
"I have watched the Northern Trust Open (the PGA Tour event at Riviera) a couple of times," McCoy said. "It is going to be a great test to play on a course like that. It is going to be a fun week and I am really excited."

Each biennial meeting of PHA's International PH Conference and Scientific Sessions includes a Research Room dedicated to helping researchers further their studies by allowing for the collection of data, including biological specimens (cheek swabs and blood samples) from PH patients. This event gives researchers the rare opportunity to collect data from the largest gathering of pulmonary hypertension patients in the world at any given time.
The first Research Room was held in 1994 at PHA's International PH Conference in Stone Mountain, Ga. That first gathering brought together almost 70 patients. At the 2014 PHA International PH Conference in Indianapolis, Ind., PHA hosted 10 research teams from all over the U.S., with 314 attendees participating in the Research Room.
The 2016 International PH Conference taking place June 17-19, 2016, in Dallas, Texas will follow in this tradition.
The 2016 Research Room will take place during the Conference hours from June 17-19, 2016, in Dallas, Texas. Exact times are subject to change.
More information will follow in April 2016 on how patients and their family members can participate in the 2016 Research Room.

In loving memory of our dear mother.
Carol Ann Matthews was born May 24, 1935, died May 14, 2013. She was 74 years old. She lived in Kuna many years, those who knew her will miss her dearly. She is survived by her children; Silver J Matthews and girlfriend Sarah and their son Jack Matthews, Bobby T.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. 23rd Psalm

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do at this stage. Right now, all that is going on is an investigation. If you are innocent of the charges, the investigation will show that. I am not aware of any povisions of law that allow someone who is under investigation to sue simply because they are the subject of an investigation. However, if the witness gave false statements to the police or is slandering you to other people, you may have a cause to sue.
Otherwise, your civil rights have not been violated, and you need to wait until the investigation is complete before you take any further action.

We are in a new reality and I just don't think that has sunk in yet maybe for any of us. More playoff spots available. A more competitive landscape top to bottom. Fewer overslot signings. Major changes in free agency. Limits on international signings. Draft changes. A lot of Ben's decisions are probably influenced by changes like these guys. As well they should be.
Do we tank the team and try to build a younger team base over a couple years by trading all the short term contract guys for prospects and more controllable talent or do we try to win every year? Those extra playoff spots make the 2nd option more attractive to me. The calculus is just that, much more complicated math, with advanced metrics and mathmaticians on staff like never before and I think we should listen to them. I trust our nerds!
We have the best nerds money can buy!
Crit, I hope you stay here also. We can keep our toes on other forums as well though right and since I've been passing my time recently reading and watching 1930's musicals I think it past time for spring training to begin!
