Premier Holding Corp. Sales Division Shows Dramatic Increase for Call Center Sales from 2015 to 2016
This Success, Combined with the Recent FERC Approval, Indicates Great Potential for the Company's New Energy Supplier: AIC
Premier Holding Corp. Sales Division Shows Dramatic Increase for Call Center Sales from 2015 to 2016
This Success, Combined with the Recent FERC Approval, Indicates Great Potential for the Company's New Energy Supplier: AIC
TUSTIN, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 7, 2017) - Premier Holding Corporation (OTCQB: PRHL) today announces that its Sales Operations for Deregulated Power has broken another record for sales. This time, its call centers experienced a 60% increase from 2015 to 2016.
This dramatic improvement is the result of a concerted effort in quality control, message scripting, and third-party verification. All of these improved strategies were implemented so that they can be incorporated into the Energy Services Portal (ESP) with the intent to launch the web-based technology nationally later this year.
In 2015 the company sold 15,625 residential contracts through its call centers. In 2016, by the use of ESP and as these improvements were implemented, this number increased to 25,010. This success was better than predicted and indicates that the company is on the right path to optimize the call center sales method.
It is anticipated that call center operations will be the primary means for generating sales for the company's new energy supplier, American Illuminating Company (AIC) which recently received FERC approval. The company will be making a more detailed announcement in the near future with regard to the positive impact that its call center operations should have on the company's performance.
Chairman and CEO of Premier, Randall Letcavage, said: "This improvement to our call center operations is a key element to our overall strategy of launching our energy supplier later this year. The call center method of enhancing revenue has been successfully implemented in pursuit of our goals, as has the recent approval from FERC to operate the new energy supplier."

Welcome back my friends! The holidays have come to an end, bringing the chaos and unpredictability of Christmas and Festivus – and any other winter holiday – to an end. And, as a new year is upon us, what better time to return to the tried and true. I am, of course, referring to beer reviews! And today's beer is Bell's Winter White Ale. Bell's Brewery is one of the best craft breweries out there, so I'm excited that this beer has the honor of starting off 2014. Let's get to it, shall we?
With the new year, these reviews will change slightly. Instead of describing the aroma and taste from the bottle, I'll just be focusing on the poured features. My main reason behind this is simply because beer in a glass tastes better than beer from a bottle (real beer, that is). Pouring the beer releases all of those trapped aromas and flavors, allowing each brew to live up to its full potential. Having said that, the poured aromas of this beer are unique to the winter beer line-up. Bright bursts of lemon juice and apples flow over a layer of mild and slightly earthy straw to create that wit bier bouquet. Mellow bread malts support from underneath and an overall freshness descends atop the nose, slightly floral with just a hint of spice-drop spicing. The aroma ends with a gentle wave of yeasty spice that makes the mouth water. Visually, it pours a slightly cloudy gold – mildly bubbly, with a thin white head that bubbles away fairly quickly.
On the tongue, a wonderful orchestra of mellow malts, fruits and spices come together to make sweet, sweet winter music throughout the mouth. The malts and yeast show up first, slightly bready with a touch of Belgian spicing. Up next, tangy lemon juice mingles with fresh apple peels and a pinch of grass clippings to create a layer of slightly sweet tartness. This tartness flows over some straw and dried leaves, creating a feeling of seasonal warmth that anchors the beer within the winter spirit, despite its brightness. Throughout each drink, faint notes of clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon provide an ultra mellow spice quality that works wonderfully with the apple notes. This spicing is nothing like a seasonal Belgian ale, but it's enough to provide even more complexity and flavor.
In the end, Bell's Winter White Ale is a lovely contribution to the winter beer scene. Instead of rich and heavy malts or potent spices, it uses subtle hints of wit bier flavors to create a delicious and comfortable ale that'll chase away all of your winter blues. Its price is on par with other seasonal craft beers, but its flavor is definitely worth picking up a case or two.
I recommend this beer from late Autumn to early spring. It's light and mellow enough with its flavors to stay tasty and refreshing no matter the weather, while bringing enough flavorful oomph to work wonders during the cold, winter months. Bell's Winter White Ale earns a delightful A.

It was great to catch the final early morning coverage of le Tour de France for this year's race, won by Italy's Vincenzo Nibali. He dominated from stage 3 to win going away. The completion of the most grueling event in sports will be minor though compared to the marathon of events focused on EPA's new GHG rules this week.
It all started this morning with a press call with EPA Administrator McCarthy and continues over the next four days. Industry, labor unions, environmental groups and activists will all be adding their 50-cents to the debate. Again, I cannot wait to see the inflatables and stroller brigades… If you want pomp and circumstance, tune into the enviro's calls (do you really need to sit on an hour-long press call to find out what NRDC thinks about the GHG plan, I mean they wrote it). If you want to get to the heart of the matter, the substance of the policy, you know who to call… We will be fully deployed with Segal in Atlanta, Josh Zive in Denver, Holmstead and I manning the streets of DC and ERCC researcher Chris Burk heading to Steel City. The testimonies will be posted here. I can also send if you prefer that.
In addition to the showcase of the public hearings, Congress will respond with several hearings of its own regarding the GHG plan for existing plants. House Energy, Senate Environment, Senate Budget and House Science will all address the issue, with House Energy hearing from all five FERC Commissioners (or would-be Commissioner as Norman Bay has not yet been sworn in.) Here is the testimony. The hearing will shine a bright spotlight on a number of the Commissioners' disparate views on crucial electricity reliability issues and the Administration's Clean Power Plan and will likely be much more intriguing than the public parade down at EPA HQ. Look for Commissioners, particularly Tony Clark and Phil Moeller, to focus on the lack of significant interagency coordination on reliability in the run-up to the proposal of the EPA rule. Look also for them to cover in detail the challenges faces by state and federal energy regulators and by the RTO's in implementing the rule without significant threats to reliability. Our crack research team has been through the testimony and has some gems if you are interested. You can reach Scott Segal at 202-828-5845
Speaking of EPA on other issues, following last week's very public, White House-driven news cycle stories about the 2014 RFS numbers, we learned that the proposal is headed for interagency review soon, with release expected in either August or September. Last week, a number of key Midwestern Democratic Senators were briefed by White House CoS John Podesta (why he was doing it and not EPA who knows??). Regardless, one of the attendees, Sen. Al Franken was happy to talk about it with our friend Erica Martinson at POLITICO, who was fresh off a visit to Iowa. There are obviously a lot of political impacts at play here and our men in the corn fields (Segal, Washburn, et. al) are ready to help with tips, background and resources. Something to stay on top of during August for all of us.
With the VA compromise on the table, Congress is likely to wrap up the only other necessary work before the August recess: an agreement on the Highway Trust Fund. Looks like a temporary deal will win the day over not having anything. Highway funding is just too important. Also, don't forget the 17th annual Congressional Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency EXPO and Policy Forum on Thursday in the Cannon Building on Capitol Hill.
Finally, our friend Dina Cappiello of AP has a good piece on coal exports that is worth a read as it discusses the global flaws in dealing with emissions country-by-country among many other things… Lots of action and lots of questions? We can help. Please feel free to call.

RFS Coming Soon – White House advisor John Podesta met with a number of Midwestern Democratic Senators late last week to tell them EPA's final rule outlining 2014 volumes for renewable fuels mandates will be announced soon. Some might suggest that meeting might be helpful for key candidates running in the fall mid-term elections as they head back home for the August work period. The final volume mandates were due last in November, but EPA has been unable to finalize the standards. The draft caused a ruckus among the opponents/proponents of the heavily-debated, controversial provisions. The initial proposed volumes dropped the amount of ethanol required to be blended into gasoline under the RFS for the first time. Senators attending the meeting included Sens. Al Franken, Amy Klobuchar, Tom Harkin, Patty Murray, Dick Durbin, Joe Donnelly and Heidi Heitkamp. And one other interested party seems to be Iowa Sen Candidate Bruce Braley. My colleagues Eric Washburn (202-412-5211)and Scott Segal (202-828-5845) can cut through the rhetoric.
Boiler Rules Must Move Forward – A Court ruling on Friday said EPA must begin a long-stalled process to set limits on emissions released by industrial boilers. The ruling addressed a 2006 order which required the EPA to implement standards under the Clean Air Act to cover sources responsible for producing 90% of emissions of polychlorinated biphenyls, hexachlorobenzene and polycyclic organic matter. The Council of Industrial Boiler Operators Bob Bessette or my colleague Salo Zelermyer (202-828-1718) can help if you need additional information.
Industry Groups Urge Comment Period Extension, Restarting Rule – The Partnership for a Better Energy Future sent to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy a letter last week identifying five high-level concerns with the proposed carbon standards for existing power plants. The areas include electricity prices/economic impacts, rule structure/scope, technological achievability, additional regulations and the process/timeline. The letter says it is clear that the rule will be disruptive to and is fundamentally incompatible with numerous practical and technical aspects of America's electricity system. It adds that it is based on a flawed interpretation of the Clean Air Act. Finally, the letter urges additional hearings and an extension of the 120-day comment period. I can send the letter If you haven't seen it.
New Study Confirms Shale Emissions Profile – A new Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences study says natural gas derived from shale has about half the greenhouse gas output of coal. The study matches claims in the gas/coal debate and runs counter to work by anti-natgas academic Robert Howarth of Cornell, who has said shale is much worse for the climate than conventional gas. The lead author is Garvin Heath of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Op-Ed: PA Health Sect Addresses Health Claims Regarding Shale – PA Health Secretary Michael Wolf took to the Harrisburg Patriot-News recently to address Marcellus Shale-related health questions raised by some opponents of drilling. Wolf says the state Health Department has protocols for all public health inquiries and concerns that employees must follow and praised the Department's team for taking on the challenging task of providing information and a forum for discourse on public health issues related to shale development. Wolf said they are carrying out related monitoring activities under Act 13 of 2012, working with other state resources and public health stakeholders across the state to better understand the potential effects of Marcellus Shale drilling. He cited a Marcellus Shale health outcomes study from Geisinger Health System's Research Institute, which is a large-scale, detailed look at health histories of hundreds of thousands of patients who live near natural gas wells and facilities, as well as work with schools of public health in Pennsylvania to further understand and study the potential health impacts of drilling.
NYT Looks at Carbon Capture, Storage – Not to be outdone by his colleagues Cliff Krauss, Coral Davenport and Mike Wines who in the last week have been covering lots on the environment , the NY Times' Henry Fountain pours out a quality piece on carbon capture, its technical challenges and it role in the coal industry of the future. The story feature both the large-scale Kemper County project expected to launch operations next year and the smaller Saskatchewan's Boulder Dam project.
EPA Public Meetings Set – EPA will hold public meetings in Atlanta, Denver, Washington and Pittsburgh. The Atlanta, Denver and DC meetings will be tomorrow and Wednesday, running both days. The Pittsburgh meeting will be Thursday and Friday.
Heritage Looks at EPA Rule – Late this morning, the Heritage Foundation held a forum on EPA and regulation, focusing on the climate realities and fallacies, the EPA's war on coal, and efforts to stop the EPA's unchecked climate change regulation. Leading off the discussion was an address by PA Rep. Mike Kelly and a panel discussion with CEI's William Yeatman and Heritage's David Kreutzer.
Chamber to Look at Transportation Sector, Data – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce will hold a forum today at Noon to explore how data is being used in the transportation sector. the event will feature presenters from both the public and private sectors that utilize data to provide unique services, engage their customers, promote safety and efficiency, and move the world in a different and better way.
DOE to Hold Biomass Forum – DOE will hold its 7th annual conference Biomass 2014 tomorrow and Wednesday, focusing on growing the future bioeconomy. Co-hosted with Advanced Biofuels USA, this year's conference will take place at the Washington Convention Center. As in past years, Biomass 2014 will bring together top government officials and members of Congress—with industry leaders and experts from across the bioenergy supply chain—to continue ongoing dialogue about the critical challenges and key opportunities for the industry. The event will focus on the innovative technologies, priority pathways, financing strategies, and public policies needed to grow the bioeconomy of the future.
Nuclear Status Report Released – The Heinrich Böll Foundation will hold a press briefing tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. on the new World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2014. There will also be a lunch open to all at Noon. Plummeting natural gas prices, sovereign debt crisis, increasing costs and improved economic conditions for renewable energy sources have created a challenging global environment for nuclear power. Contrary to the widespread perception – that we are seeing a global renaissance in nuclear power – this industry is actually in decline. The report provides a vital reality check to the current situation of the global nuclear industry as well as identifying important global nuclear trends, in particular with its renewable energy competitors. This year's report features an in-depth reassessment of the nuclear power sector in Japan post-Fukushima: all of the Japanese reactors are currently shut down, dramatically reducing the number of operating reactors in the world. Time to adjust world nuclear statistics to industrial reality. Mycle Schneider, lead author of the annual World Nuclear Industry Status Report, is a member of the International Panel on Fissile Materials (IPFM), based at Princeton University, and a laureate of the Right Livelihood Award, also known as the "Alternative Nobel Prize". He is the Coordinator of the Seoul International Energy Advisory Council (SIEAC). He has advised the French Environment Minister, the Belgian Minister for Energy and Sustainable Development as well as the German Environment Ministry, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and others. Mycle has given evidence or held briefings at parliaments in 14 countries and given lectures at twenty universities and engineering schools in ten countries. He is a frequent speaker at renowned international energy events.

The hearing continues the Committee's oversight of restoration efforts following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil well blowout and subsequent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The hearing will seek to assess the ongoing implementation of the 2012 RESTORE Act, and will also touch upon implementation of the Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund, building upon the Committee's June 2013 hearing, "Gulf Restoration: A Progress Report Three Years After the Deepwater Horizon Disaster." Witnesses from the Department of Commerce, Gulf states, and other stakeholders will testify on both the progress made and the challenges faced in Gulf Coast restoration over the last year.
McCabe to Speak at NatGas Roundtable – The Natural Gas Roundtable will host Janet McCabe, Acting Assistant Administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation, at its luncheon tomorrow. McCabe will present an overview of the EPA's Proposed Clean Power Plan. Immediately following lunch, the Natural Gas Roundtable will host the Washington, DC premier of the film "Breaking Free: How the U.S. is Reducing its Carbon Footprint while Increasing its GDP." The director of the film, Robin Bossert, will be available to provide background and answer audience questions.
Forum to Look at Climate National Security –Tomorrow at 2:00 p.m., the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars will hold a forum on Climate Change and national security.

USEA to Look at Carbon Scrubbing – The United States Energy Association will hold a forum on Tuesday August 5th at 2:00 p.m. looking at technology options for scrubbing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. The forum will feature a discussion of the technical and economic hurdles that need to be overcome, Dr. Klaus Lackner will consider the policy implications of air capture in the current climate change debate. Capture of carbon dioxide from ambient air renders emissions from any source reversible and it defines the cost of unauthorized emissions. Rather than dwelling on the possibility that air capture could motivate a delay in action, the presentation will focus on the ability of air capture to create negative emissions, which the recent IPCC report considers necessary. Finally, Dr. Lackner will outline different pathways for development and implementation of air capture technologies.
DOE to Host Webinar on "National Energy Literacy" – Next Tuesday, August 5th at 3:00 p.m., the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy respectfully invites you to join a virtual town hall featuring ongoing national, local and new media efforts from across the country in utilizing the Department of Energy's Energy Literacy Framework to address one of our nations' biggest national challenges, "Energy Illiteracy.

Collecting Middle Earth Roleplaying game books entails a 15-year span of time when the RPG industry changed in many ways. From 1984 to 1999, the Iron Crown Enterprises (I.C.E.) published books for Middle-Earth Role-Playing, eventually producing a first and second edition of the game. In preparation for the forthcoming Lord of the Rings movies and merchandising blitz that was to follow, the Tolkien estate revoked ICE's license in 1999, which forced the company to declare bankruptcy a year later. MERP has become a collectors favorite since that time.
What Is MERP?
MERP is an acronym for Middle-Earth Roleplaying, which used a simplified version of the Rolemaster rules to create a fantasy roleplaying game universe based on J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarilion novels. The game detailed the parts of Middle Earth familiar from the books, but also a handful of other realms not in the Tolkien novels. Magic was also expanded in scope and power from its depiction in the books. In this way, MERP created a familiar setting, but one that was in many ways its own unique world. These days, most of these books are highly sought-after.
I'm not sure why MERP is as collectible as it is. Perhaps the books had low print runs. Or maybe the demand for these books is especially high because of the success of the movies. Another possibility is that the fans of the game are especially unwilling to part with their copies of the books. Whatever the reason, the Middle Earth Roleplaying game books are some of the most expensive collectibles in the roleplaying hobby.
While researching this article, I found a copy of the complete MERP boxed set for sale on eBay for $350. A copy of Dol Guldur was available for $329, and the module Laketown was for sale for $300. Keep in mind that these books are generally 64 pages long, printed on regular stock, and have cardstock covers. The productions values aren't especially high (although the artwork is nice.) You can expect to pay over $100 for any MERP item for sale on eBay if you can find it in decent condition.
Other places to try when searching for MERP products to collect are Noble Knight Games and Troll and Toad. Both companies have excellent reputations and usually carry out of print RPGs. Some of the early MERP supplements, like Bree and the Barrow-downs and Assassins of Amroth, are available for $30 or $50 at Noble Knight Games.

Interspersed with static, the chopper pilot reported back over the radio. "The is correct Sir, the target saw through Rabbit's mask. We're five clicks out from drop off now." The headset crackled with the reply from command, "Return to base, terminate Rabbit. Acknowledge." The pilot spared a glace to his junior, and exchanged nods. As the co-pilot slide from his harness and into the back of the Huey, the pilot spoke into the microphone and banked. The nose of the helicopter was pointed south by the time the muzzle flash lit the interior. "Order Acknowledged, Sir. Returning to base, cargo gone and one light."

Quick glimpse – MbN – Yuma, August of 1998
Yet another snippet from the in-game past of our Montreal by Night game.
Rabbit looked about at the carnage. He counted eight to ten mortals in various states of dismemberment. Judging by the piles of ash, two kindred of at least a century had also met final death. He murmured to his childer, "This does not bode well." He nudged a muscular arm, detached from the body it once belonged to, with his hairy foot. "This happened fast Malachi, look… the arm still holds a pistol." His childer, Malachi, nodded in agreement and gestured to additional body parts. "Yes Sire, these two as well."
Rabbit sighed and flapped the collar of his shirt. Even after dark he found this city too warm. Rarely did he wish to work this far south, the Mexican border was less than fifteen minutes away. He looked about the bar once again, it reminded him of a low budget movie set for a Mexican movie. "Malachi, tell me why they were even in a shit hole like this again." Malachi did his best to straighten up as he referred to the small moleskin notebook that he always carried. "Sire, the reports say that they were backing a power play with one of the local drug cartels, which seems accurate given where we are. It also says that both Kindred were deeply in debt to…" He paused as he flips to the next page "Mr. Kevin Jackson. Who seems to be the one who financed their endeavour. Last night's enquiries by Bell suggested that Mr Jackson was quite forthcoming. That's all I have." With that Malachi closed his notebook.
While listening to Malachi's discourse on why they were in this abattoir, Rabbit had crouched down to get a better look at the wounds of the mortals. "Look at these cuts, doesn't it remind you of Atlanta….back in 88? The cuts are so precise, there are no defensive wounds." Malachi closed the distance to his sire, and cleared his throat as he crouched down to look at the severed arm "Sire…you have me confused with my predecessor." Rabbit stood up suddenly and frowned "I'm sorry Malachi." He reached into his pocket and withdrew a pair of aviators sunglasses. "I get your point." As he slid them onto his snout, he smiled slightly as he gestured to the bodies "But they got the edge instead."
Quick glimpse – MbN – Buffalo, February of 1994
Another snippet from the in-game past of our Montreal by Night game.
Just outside of Buffalo; Within the office of a chard auto mechanic's shop, two hours after sunset.
As her looked about the scene, the Nosferatu known as Rabbit spoke to his hunched back minion, "Tell the Prince that the cleaners should arrive shortly." As his childer began to leave, so as to deliver the message, something caught Rabbit's critical. "Wait!" Rabbit, living up to his name, hopped over to a corner of the burnt out room in which he and his childer stood. Crouching down, his knees tucked next to his ears, much like his name sake, he wiggled his nose and sniffed the air. "Phosphorus" he declared as he slide the half melted shotgun shell from beneath the chard Ottoman. "That would explain the fire." He turned the shell in his hand, and his pallor faded further than his 'condition' normally allowed. "It was Sabbat, likely a war party. They used Dragonsbreath. I'd guess, on the whole Coterie. They hit right after sunset." Rabbit stood and handed the partially melted shell to his childre. As his hunchbacked childer ambled over to his sire, and reached for the shell, Rabbit grabbed his hand and held it tightly. "Lladislas is bound to have a bee in his bonnet over this, so tell him from a distance."
At the same time, just outside of Erie, Pennsylvania, in a white panelled van
From the rear of the van, another Nosferatu, this one very different spoke with confidence, "That's got to be the easiest hit I've ever done. Gypsy, how about you let me drive next time we stop for gas?" From the passenger seat, a leather clad woman sighed very loudly "Not this again… Snake you don't even know how to drive! Seriously, how the hell do you get into the Hand without knowing how to drive?" Snake snorted, "Come into the back Incense, and I'll show you what I can do.. oh the things that…" The driver cut Snake off before he could finish his faux come-on, her voice was quiet and slightly accented "The tank is full, we shall not be stopping unless needed. Since I doubt that they are fools, they would have found the remains by now. If I forgot to say it before, you both did well." A pregnant silence of shock filled the van for a full mile before Snake spoke again, "Do you know why they wanted us to grab this one" as he drove his boot into the stomach of the staked kindred next to him "Or is that confidential?"

Moving to Olivos (Buenos Aires)
Hi everyone!
I was wondering if anyone could give me their insight on the following:
I'm currently living in Almagro in Buenos AIres, and am considering moving to Olivos at the end of the school year since I will be sending my son to St Andrew's school.
The thing is I am hesitating between staying where I am and spending an additional Protected content per month on school bus, or moving there and spending the extra bus money in a more expensive appartment.
Do you know if you can get a nice 2 bedroom appartment for under Protected content Protected content a month? From what I see, Olivos seems pretty expensive compared to living in the Capital...Does anyone know about anything, or know about appartments rented out directly by the owner to avoid broker fee?
Thanks for your comments, any help is appreciated!

The heat has officially become unbearable these days, and so I'm provisioning my wardrobe with a bunch of lightweight off the shoulder tops and dresses. Blush pink is so obviously my favorite color, but I don't actually wear it as often as you would think mainly because I prefer to have a tan when I wear it. I would usually pair this off the shoulder tiered top with white jeans and a full neutral palette, but I wanted to go with a black and pink combo this time.
The ruffle on this top gives it an oversized effect which I balanced with skinny jeans and strappy sandals. What I love most about this off the shoulder trend is it looks good on everyone and is quite slimming as well. This style is flirty and cute, so it makes an immediate statement.
My motto has always been quality over quantity, but I'm putting my money where my mouth is and trying to create a wardrobe I'm confident in and a style that is comfortable and timeless. Have you been going through some style changes, and what's your mantra these days?

It's 20 minutes past closing time at Sal's Hair Center in Ellicott City, but the lights are still on.
Men and women, bundled in overcoats, drift down the side of the strip shopping center past the barbershop's plate glass windows. Many stop, smile and stare like children at a Christmas display.
Suddenly, the door opens and the sounds of the 1940s fill the cold winter air.
It's rehearsal night for Sal Brocato and the six-piece Sophisticated Swing Orchestra.
They're pretty tight," says Stewart Lyons, an Ellicott City public defender, who has stopped to listen. "I couldn't resist."
The band has practiced at the Howard County barbershop on U.S. 40 every month -- more or less -- for the past eight years. The barbershop has more room than their homes and they don't bother the neighbors.

Telling One Story for Every Freckle on my Face
In Hibernation Mode
When I figure out how to blog and take care of an infant and 2 needy preschoolers, I will certainly update. But for now I am just going to sit around and sniff, 'big red's', head and snuggle and snuggle some more. Officially, Jacob Michael's arrival came on May 4th at 5:34 pm. He weighed 8 pounds, 15 ounces and was 22.5 inches long. He was induced, he was all back labored, my tail bone still hurts like heck. I will provide the birth story soon. He has some nice red, well orange, hair, and he is mine all mine!

I like to jog with my dog, but the experience is always uncomfortable for both of us. The last time, the leash cut into my hand, and my dog almost knocked me over. How can I make this less stressful and more productive?
BY: The Dog Daily Expert
I'm glad that you haven't given up on your dog as a jogging partner. There are many perks to exercising with your dog, so long as you both are in shape and up to the task. (Confirm that with your dog's veterinarian and with your own doctor.) You both need regular exercise, and your dog is ready and waiting to go out when you are.
Arden Moore, author of Happy Dog Happy You, offers some helpful tips on how to best jog with your dog. Moore advises that owners like you should:
- Use a leather leash. You are probably using nylon or some other material now, which can be harder to grip and may cut into your hand, as you describe.
- Be prepared. Bring water and disposable bags for any necessary cleanups.
- Run on grass, if possible. You may have the latest high-tech running shoes with a thick rubber sole, but your dog's paws come into direct contact with the substrate.
- Watch the weather. Don't attempt outdoor jogging or other strenuous exercise with your dog on extremely hot or cold days.
- Practice safety. At night, use reflective tape and safety lights.
- Train your dog to run at your side. Moore says that you should "extend your leg in front of your dog," should it try to cut in front.

Nationality: American
Current Position: United States Special Envoy for Climate Change
Those of us who have been operating in the UNFCCC know Todd Stern well as he is the United States Special Envoy for Climate Change, leading talks at the United Nations climate conferences, since his appointment by Hillary Clinton in 2009.
While Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary in Clinton's White House from 1993, Stern also acted as the senior White House negotiator on the Kyoto Protocol. Following this, he joined the US Treasury, from 1999 to 2001, advising the Secretary on the policy and politics of a broad range of economic and financial issues.
Perhaps other governments should have sent their Ministers to this round of negotiations….a missed opportunity perhaps?
What does Todd Stern believe?
May, 2004: "After all, the evidence of climate change is overwhelming. Average temperatures are clearly rising - the 12 warmest years on record have occurred since 1990; the last 50 year period appears to be the warmest half-century in 6,000 years. Evaporation and rainfall are increasing; glaciers are retreating; sea ice is shrinking; sea level is rising; permafrost is melting; wildfires are increasing; storm and flood damage is soaring. The canary in the coal mine is singing for all she's worth."
June, 2007: Stern and William Antholis argued that negotiations on international environmental treaties, via United Nations meetings involving representatives of over 150 countries, "is no way to run a planet".
Instead they argued for a new process to "break through the political fog and bureaucratic clutter to give global environmental issues the focused top-level treatment they deserve. We propose the creation of an E-8: a compact forum of leaders from developed and developing countries devoting their full attention once a year to global ecological and resource challenges". They proposed four developed and four developing countries - United States, the EU, Japan, Russia, China, India, Brazil and South Africa. They noted that other possible contenders could be Australia, Canada, Indonesia and Mexico, but that "the objective of preserving a sense of intimacy and informality argues against a larger grouping".
January, 2009: "As the President and Secretary Clinton have made clear, climate change poses a profound threat to our future. If our deepest obligation in life is to care for our children and leave a better world for them and those who follow, then we must confront climate change now with an entirely new level of commitment, energy, and focus. Our scientists are telling us, emphatically, that the rate at which we are warming the planet is unsustainable and will cause vast and potentially catastrophic damage to our environment, our economy, and our national security".
September, 2009: "My basic view here is that there are a handful of really important issues that are core to getting to get a deal done, that there is a deal there to be done if countries evaluate what they can do on the basis of their own real interests, their own economic, material, and political interests. There is a lot of ideological baggage that has been carried – that has been sort of part of the DNA of these negotiations for the last 17 years. And that kind of baggage can hang you up and make agreement hard to get. I think if people can focus on their real interests, what they can do, what they can't do, respecting everybody's own legitimate constraints, there's a deal there to be done. I think that we will get a deal done, but that's critical. That pragmatic viewpoint is going to be critical to having that happen."
October, 2009: Kathy Newman, from Channel 4 News, asked Stern whether he agreed with "Gordon Brown that the planet does face a catastrophe if there is no deal at Copenhagen, or would you use slightly less apocalyptic language?" Stern evaded the question, preferring to praise Brown for having taken a leadership role in the debate on climate change. Immediately afterwards, he was asked "Are we facing [inaudible]?" (though it appears from media reports the missing word was "catastrophe). "You should ask a scientist", Stern said dismissively.

North Korea is still several years away from being able to build a nuclear bomb that threatens close neighbors, according to expert analysts.
North Korea recently conducted its third nuclear test, but the country is still years from directly threatening the United States. Hans Kristensen, the director of nuclear information at the Federation of American Scientists, said that while North Korea's tests demonstrated a bomb much less powerful than the ones dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, a bomb of that size could still be a real threat, TechNewsDaily reports.
"Seven kilotons would do a lot of damage in downtown Seoul," Kristensen said, according to TechNewsDaily.
The February 12 test results showed an explosion equal to approximately 6,000 to 7,000 tons of high explosive. The test marked a major jump by a factor of three or more from previous North Korean tests.
Kristensen said that while North Korea can pull off big explosions, making a nuclear weapon is different. The country still faces design challenges, a lack of resources and weapon delivery system development before it will be able to create a nuclear weapon, TechNewsDaily reports.
While there has been talk of taking out North Korea's nuclear facilities or launch pads, it is possible that not all of the country's nuclear facilities are known by the U.S. In addition, a military assault on North Korea could result in the country firing on South Korea with conventional or chemical weapons.

The current official historical accuracy of Firaun has been questioned because he claims to be the one and only god, while Egyptolopy reports that pharaohs believed in many gods besides themselves, making Firaun a strange exception. In the Qur'an, Firaun says:
- "O Chiefs! no god do I know for you but myself." [Qur'an 28:38]
- "Then he (Firaun) collected (his men) and made a proclamation, Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High". [Qur'an 79:23-24]
According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, "The Egyptians believed their Pharaoh to be a god, identifying him with the sky god Horus and with the sun gods Re, Amon, and Aton." and that "The Pharaoh's divine status was believed to endow him with magical powers: ... he was able to trample thousands of the enemy on the battlefield, and he was all-powerful, knowing everything and controlling nature and fertility."[1] While pharaohs believed they were divine, some of them believed themselves to be higher even than the gods, one of them was Ramesses 2. Only Akhenaten was a monotheist and he believed the only god was Aten, not himself.

Fred A. Dix, Jr. was born in Connellsville, Pennsylvania in 1931. He attended high school in Salem, New Jersey and graduated from Rutgers University in 1953 with a B.S. degree in Geology.
As a commissioned second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, Fred was ordered to active duty in 1954 and served as a communications officer in the U.S. and Japan until his release from service in December 1955. He then returned to Rutgers to earn his Masters degree in Geology in June 1957.
Recruited by Standard Oil Company of California, now Chevron, Fred was assigned to its division exploration office in Salt Lake City, Utah. After eight years with Chevron, Fred joined Mobil Oil and spent the next eight years working in Jackson, Corpus Christi and Houston. His last position with Mobil was as division coordinator of data processing, a pioneering assignment in 1967.
A member of AAPG since 1957, Fred served as the Association Treasurer following the accidental death of treasurer-elect H. B. Renfro in 1972. Then, in 1973, the Executive Committee selected Fred A. Dix, Jr. as the new executive director.
As executive director, Fred Dix provided the Association with leadership in expanding AAPG's outreach to its international members, increasing the budget by over $7 million, providing new and expanded programs in publications, communications, education, and national and international meetings. In 1973, the AAPG Foundation was a fledgling organization with total assets of less than $1 million. In 1996, the Foundation's investment portfolio totaled more than $16.5 million at market value.
A scientist, leader, manager, people-oriented executive, who successfully led AAPG through a number of crises and into its current role as one of the leading professional societies in the world, Fred A. Dix retired as Executive Director after 23 years. He worked toward the long-term growth of the Association, and served as director emeritus and consultant to the Foundation until he passed away May 30, 2005. Mrs. Jean Dix currently lives in Tulsa, OK.
The Fred A. and Jean Dix Named Grant is awarded annually to a deserving graduate student through the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Foundation Grants-in-Aid program, and is endowed by the AAPG Foundation with a generous contribution from E. F. Reid, and many of his other friends and associates.

BALTIMORE — Given Pimlico's crumbling condition, calling the Preakness the second jewel of the Triple Crown might insult precious stones everywhere. Then again, the race has always had its roguish charms.
Preakness Day wasn't so much about the young Thoroughbreds running on the track as it was about the young party crowd pushing shopping carts carrying beer-filled coolers across four lanes of Northern Parkway traffic and eventually onto the Pimlico infield for a joyous Saturday of boozing and betting.
Then last year, prohibition arrived. There were no shopping carts. There were no coolers. Alas, there were no young people. Fearing a full-fledged alcoholic apocalypse, the Pimlico powers-that-be placed a first-time ban on importing adult beverages through the track gate that, as it turns out, had disastrous results.
Attendance plummeted from 112,222 in 2008 to 77,850 in 2009. That's the kind of money drop that grabs attention, that spurs action, and that leads to things like "Get Your Preak On."
That's the Preakness's new tagline, dreamed up by a Washington, D.C., advertising agency to lure the party crowd back to Ol' Hilltop. The BYOB ban will still be enforced, but the track is offering other intoxicating incentives. Infield ticket prices have dropped to $40. From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m, draft beers will sell for a buck. And patrons purchasing a $20 Preakness mug are entitled to unlimited refills, which, considering the 6:05 p.m. post time, promises to be plenty.
Yet, right in the middle of such sought-after mayhem is the man who is the direct antithesis of "Get Your Preak On."
Todd Pletcher is calm and calculated, racing's poster child for organized efficiency. His stable has 175 horses and 150 employees. He doesn't have time to blow his cool. "I never saw where yelling helped anything," he said Friday morning outside the Preakness Stakes Barn.
He also has Super Saver, the winner of the Kentucky Derby, and the reason that sometimes, out of nowhere, just walking along, Pletcher will start to "crack a smile."
Yet this has to be something of a paradox for the 42-year-old trainer. Pletcher loves to give his horses plenty of time between races, yet Super Saver is running just two weeks after the Derby. Pletcher craves order, yet between the bikini contests, the sonic decibels — O.A.R. and the Zac Brown Band have replaced ZZ Top on this year's set list — and the imbibing, the Pimlico infield is usually gleefully out of order.
Not that Pletcher is unhappy to be here, mind you. "If you've got the Derby winner, and he's doing well, you've got to come to the Preakness and take your shot," he said Friday.
Bob Baffert knows the feeling. He and Mike Pegram, the co-owner of second choice Lookin At Lucky, are more of the "Get Your Preak On" kind of guys. Why, hanging out Friday morning with Baffert was former Maryland quarterback Mike Tice, the ex-Minnesota Vikings head coach and current Chicago Bears line coach, who is known to enjoy a good time. When Lookin At Lucky worked on the Pimlico track, and one of Baffert's buddies complained about his view, the trainer quipped, "We'll put you on Tice's shoulders."
Lookin At Lucky has been Baffert's own bad-news bear. The trainer is trying a new jockey, 25-year-old Martin Garcia, hoping for a change of luck, though Baffert is still not sure what he has in the Derby favorite who was "T-boned" in the first furlong and finished sixth.
"He's never had a chance to show his stuff," Baffert said.
Super Saver strutted his stuff two weeks ago. Now the WinStar wonder must do it again, of course, which is never easy. On race eve, however, a poised Pletcher copped to just one worry.
"I think he's getting a little spoiled," the trainer said. "I've got to watch the girls around the barn; too many peppermints and carrots."
Meanwhile, Pimlico hopes that "Get Your Preak On" is the carrot that brings its party crowd back.
