I turned 55 a few months ago and reached the conclusion that I'm not really losing my hair; I'm just watching it grow out my nose and ears.
I turned 55 a few months ago and reached the conclusion that I'm not really losing my hair; I'm just watching it grow out my nose and ears.
The truth is that hair loss has concerned me ever since I was 10 years old, when my mother told me that genetics had predestined me to resemble her balding father.
Sometime after her prediction, my friends began teasing me about my hairy arms. My reaction was to shave my peach-fuzzed extremities. Perhaps this is way too much information for your morning cereal, but stay with me for another moment.
During my early years, I formulated a prayer that remained on my lips for more than 20 years: "God, please, let me keep my hair until I'm at least 40 years old."
I called this my "hair prayer" and for the most part, it's been answered with a head full of silver hair.
I know, I know. I'm a chaplain and I should be praying for world peace or something. Well, I do that too. But like many of you, I sometimes mutter prayers that are more about me than they should be.
I call these prayers, "vanity prayers." Everyone prays them at one time or another. They represent our entitlement beliefs and they are more about pampering ourselves than they are about helping others. After all, we have our vanity surgeries, we buy vanity license plates and sometimes, even writers will (gasp) use vanity presses.
In our hearts, we know these vanity products have little value. Still, we cling to them. We cling to them with magical thinking, believing they will come true simply because we will them to become true. This belief is not unlike how I tell myself the product I use in my hair will add "volume" to my balding head -- never going to happen.
Despite all our vanity prayers and products, Christian scripture suggests that "the very hairs on your head are all numbered." Jesus' observation implies a question: Why do we worry about fleeting things? What is it that makes us invest our time or our talents into things that don't last?
If our future concerns become more about our outward appearance, then we'll not have the time to honestly search for the internal kinds of realities.
Meaning, at the end of the day, life has to become about searching for what remains. "Remains of the Day" is what British-Japanese author Kazuo Ishiguro called it in his 1989 novel about a butler trying to come to terms with how he has spent his life and how he would make the best of what remains.
The whole point of the book, and I think the whole point of Jesus' teaching, was that life has to include a daily spiritual examination and a search for what is eternal and lasting in life. So tonight, instead of looking for the remains of your hair on your pillow, examine your life and see what remains of your day.
And, uh, by the way, I read somewhere that the hair I lost last night was really the hair that's been growing for the past two to six years. If there's no hair growing underneath to replace it, then one is destined for baldness.
Dang! If that's true, then I may already be bald. I just know that's going to keep me awake tonight.

For nearly a year now the Emery County Public Lands Council and its subcommittees have continued to look at a land use bill for Emery County. A work meeting was held prior to the monthly meeting where the Wilderness Society had asked to make a presentation.
Bruce Wilson, chairman went over the maps covering the recent field trip to the Goblin Valley area. The uses in this area were discussed. There are dispersed camping spots and cattle grazing with some mineral development potential. The area is a popular spot for hikers. In prior years the area around Little Wild Horse mesa is hiked during the spring and fall with the summer months being too hot. But, recently there are people hiking through the hot summer months with as many as 400-500 people a weekend signing the book at the trail head at Little Wild Horse. The visitors have been from all around the world to the popular hiking spot.
Val Payne is a contract worker for Emery County on public lands issues. He added the area around Goblin Valley hadn't been included in the abandoned mine reclamation plan for the Swell. The grazing in that area is managed from the BLM office in Hanksville.
Scott Wheeler stressed the need for the maps to show all the existing routes, roads and trail systems in the area. There is an old road in the area that could be a link from I-70 to the Temple Mountain area. Wheeler said it would be good to get that connection reopened. This Goblin Valley area is being discussed as a possible National Conservation Area.
Randy Johnson said the NCA process can take up to three years and during that time all discussion on routes should take place. Wheeler emphasized the need for trailheads and staging areas in that vicinity. Goblin Valley can be used as a starting point for other access to other areas such as a NCA or wilderness area.
Brad Barber is a planning consultant for the Wilderness Society. He was asked to attend the meeting by Julie Mack, the chapter president in Utah. The Wilderness Society is a nationwide organization dedicated to the preservation of wilderness areas. Barber explained a little of his history in working in Emery County while he was the state planning coordinator regarding public lands issues. During the early 1990s he worked obtaining the original grants which set-up the public lands council. During the times Emery County pursued the National Heritage Area and the San Rafael National Monument, Barber was involved at the state level. He has spent a lot of time exploring Emery County and is familiar with the country including Desolation Canyon and the side canyons there. He said he believes the field trips have been helpful and Julie has been able to attend about half of the field trips.
"The Wilderness Society wants to work with the county to see what's possible. We are going to push and we want as much wilderness as possible, but no wilderness proposal has been done by the Wilderness Society. The boundary issues are critical. What makes sense? What's manageable. I have worked on land exchanges with SITLA during my time with the state," said Barber.
Barber believes the school trustlands should be traded out of any wilderness designation to eliminate islands within wilderness. Sometimes boundaries go around school trustlands and that's not the best option. They should be included in any wilderness designation and exchanged out. There are some key roads the Wilderness Society will want to look at. Barber said a National Conservation Area is a good management tool. He worked on the Washington county land bill and there are a couple of NCAs in their land use bill that make sense. "You must be sure a NCA makes sense," said Barber. "The Wilderness Society wants to be engaged and be involved."
Barber said the field trips have been the source of good comments and discussion and the Wilderness Society may want to take some field trips of their own to look at boundaries.
There was some discussion on expanding the current National Park of Capitol Reef where a small portion of the park extends into Emery County. Johnson suggested the county be careful with this. A National Park can impact the Payment in Lieu of Taxes money the county receives. Wayne County receives a relatively small PILT payment because of the National Park in their c ounty. A National Park is a draw, but there are downsides as well.
Wheeler said he doesn't see that area as being much of a draw.
Johnson said the National Parks have more than they can handle now with budget cuts. If an expansion of the National Park is proposed then the National Park itself would have to participate.
Wheeler wondered if it was necessary to expand the National Park, "Are we putting a title on something that doesn't need it," he questioned.
Brooke Williams from SUWA asked Barber what his opinion was based on his experience as to what Emery County should do. Barber said everyone should work together and share ideas. They should discuss the maps. That is the right approach. The goal would be to reach a consensus and it would be difficult but a worthy goal. Barber said the different attempts at legislation in the county could be discussed. "Maybe we can't reach consensus, but it's a worthy goal. I can advise the Wilderness Society on how to achieve it," said Barber.
Payne said he had high hopes for the process the county was going through in developing a land use bill. He thought everyone expressed willingness to be tolerant, respectful and willing to listen. In a recent book he read it talked about collaboration. In reaching agreements you must be willing to talk to those who you may not like or agree with, but you would have a willingness to listen. "Everyone came into the process with preconceived ideas. We must be willing to listen to others," said Payne.
Barber said he has worked with people who have collaborative positive results and he has learned from them. He said he understands how to bring good information to the table to help make decisions and reach consensus.
Council member Jon Gilbert asked where the Wilderness Society gets their funds to operate. Barber said it is a national organization. Julie Mack works out of her home. She asked Barber to assist and advise her. She would know better where the grants and donations come from. The Wilderness Society is active on issues everywhere and is the oldest wilderness organization in the nation.
Johnson said the Wilderness Society was active in the Washington County land use bill and Bill Meadows out of the Denver office was involved. A need was identified in Utah and the Utah office was opened with Julie Mack as director. The Wilderness Society wants to get something done and values local heritage. Philosophically their goal is wilderness and to protect wilderness. Barber said they would like to see some wilderness designated and to be done with the contention. He looks forward to working with the Wilderness Society as they hope to move the process along.
An audience member asked Barber what type of bill they would support and if they would support a lands bill that is different than the America's Red Rock Wilderness Act that the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance has been introducing in Congress each year. Barber said the Wilderness Society may be able to support a lands bill different than SUWAs and then again they may not be able to support it.
Payne asked Williams if SUWAs all or nothing attitude in regards to wilderness in Emery County still holds true. Williams said he feels they are far apart in directions to go with the lands use bill, but he doesn't feel SUWA has an all or nothing attitude and they need to figure out what they can live with.
Payne said in recent weeks the mischaracterization of Emery County on the SUWA website and other media outlets has been disturbing. The county has been portrayed as not being approachable or willing to have discussion with environmental groups which isn't the case. Payne said when critical decisions need to be made then everyone needs to work together like a family. Payne likened the county to the mom and dad and they will gather input and will try to make a decision based on the input from all family members. But, some family members, (SUWA) seem to be estranged. Discussion needs to be held and decisions made based on what's good for the entire family.
Barber said he sees the situation as an adaptive process and all players need to be involved and in the end, the question is what can Emery County live with. He said groups like Wilderness Society and SUWA bring a national point of view into Emery County's picture. Barber said he hopes something can come together and be something good the citizens can live with and also pass Congress.
Mistie Christiansen, land council member said her grandfather came to Emery County in the 1880s and SUWA has been around since 1983. In that 100 year period without SUWA, then much progress was made to settle Emery County and to go about things in the right way to begin with for the people of Emery County. Permittees have been a big part of taking care of Emery County, farmers, ranchers, grazers, ATV enthusiasts, and sportsmen as well as others have worked to be a part of Emery County and to take care of it.
Johnson said to further that statement about our heritage, that brings up the question of what are you (environmental groups), bringing to the table?
"The locals come to the table with a genuine interest in making something work. If you come to the table you must be willing to add something. Some groups want to sit back and wait. If you want to be a player you need to get up to the table and help make it work," said Johnson.
Ed Geary, land council member addressed Barber and said the Wilderness Society approached the lands council and said they want to talk, but Geary said he expected them to say more. "Wanting to talk is not new, we expected you to say more. I can also see this as a way of dragging it out. We've been working on maps. We've been on field trips. Everything the lands council has done has been transparent. SUWA meets behind closed doors," said Geary.
Mark H. Williams, lands council member said the map is almost complete for the land use bill. SUWA is the one that pulled out and chose not to participate in meetings. What do you want? We are about to the end of the process.
Wheeler said the council has been working hard and getting things done. What is SUWA willing to pull back on? "Tell us something, this has been very frustrating, we've had discussion, we've had field trips. We've spent the time. Decisions should be made on the land by those who utilize it. I've been disappointed with what SUWA has put on their website. On the SUWA website statement it said they would kill the Emery County bill if they didn't like it."
Williams from SUWA answered he thought the county was in an information gathering stage and the process wasn't well defined. But, Emery County is going through with a proposal. What are the steps of the process? We've felt left out. Those were Williams' feelings.
Commissioner Gary Kofford responded the process was started earnestly a year ago to work out an Emery County land use bill. Everything in that year's time has been a collaborative effort. The lands council voted to have a bill ready by October 2010 and that date is fast approaching. "It became apparent early on in the meetings and field trips that the environmental groups were aloft. They didn't want to reveal their plans and indicate where they wanted to go. In a couple of meetings, we tried to get SUWA to make a statement to look at the issues and address valid concerns. SUWA even indicated they would settle the lawsuit with the BLMs resource management plans. SUWA wanted to take part. But, I don't see that happening now," said Kofford.
Kofford said the lands council was put into place to represent all interests. SUWA was at the table and blew up, they told the county to go ahead and make their bill and SUWA would agree with it or they would fight it. The process with the Emery County land use bill is moving forward. You are welcome to come back to the table, if you have something to say. We're moving on a schedule to have a bill ready. You, (SUWA) aren't going to make any enroads in Washington.
"If you get too far out there. We'll pull this bill. What this group has made and went through we are going forward with it," stated Kofford.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said it is the hope of the county to have the land use bill bring to a conclusion land use issues in the county. The council is preparing the bill to move forward. "We hope to have the Wilderness Society on board, everyone will get something, but no one (group) will get everything. I read SUWAs letter on their website. It made it sound like Emery County was the bad guys. The Wilderness Society has come forward to participate. SUWA has been watching and their intent is if they don't get everything they will kill the bill.
Barber from the Wilderness Society said they won't operate in that way. If they can't support the bill, they will walk away.
Williams from SUWA said SUWA is heavily invested in this process. "If we really have something to contribute, now's the time," said Williams.
Kofford said having the environmental groups involved in the process is a plus. Environmental groups represent big users. The more the areas in Emery County are discussed and brought out into the open, then the more people want to come and a lot of those visitors are from the environmental community. "People are coming here year round. You helped to create this issue. Identify some way to help. You helped bring visitors here and you can't put the lid back on the box," said Kofford.
Wilson closed the meeting thanking everyone for their comments and he hopes something useful can come out of the exchange of comments.

Uncharted Waters
RAY: This puzzler is from my Uncharted Waters Series. It was sent in by someone who just identified himself as 'Tony.'
In 1968, a British sailor named Robin Knox Johnston set off on an around-the-world race. He sailed from England down the Atlantic, around the coast of South Africa, past Australia, across the Pacific, round the bottom of South America, then back up the Atlantic to merry olde England; 30,000 miles in 313 days, becoming the first person to sail single-handed, non-stop, around the world.
Back in '68, sailors didn't have the help of satellites for navigation and communication. Navigation was performed the old-fashioned way, with sextants, looking at the stars, charts, rulers, dividers and, oh yeah, luck. Now, the only form of communication that Robin had was a radio, which was powered by lead acid batteries, which were charged by a little three-horsepower gasoline engine connected by a fan belt to a small generator.
At one point he tried to start the charger engine for a routine charge of the batteries, but it wouldn't start. Foolishly he dismantled the engine, cleaned the various parts, reassembled it and guess what, it still wouldn't start. Then he decided to read the manual, which told him that it was essential that he should set the ignition points and spark plug gaps correctly. Each needed to be set at 15/1000ths of an inch. Failure to set the gaps correctly would mean that the engine would run poorly and inefficiently, if at all. Now he had brought along 35 gallons of gasoline, just enough to run the engine for the 300 or so days that he thought the voyage would last. If the engine ran inefficiently, he'd run out of fuel and would lose his only means of communication, and if something went wrong, he'd probably die a horrible and lonely death sprawled out on the deck, with seagulls feasting on his decaying carcass.
Well, Robin clearly had a problem. He had a carefully selected tool kit on board--you know-- wrenches, saws, screwdrivers, but nothing to measure 15/1000ths of an inch. What he needed was something called a feeler gauge. Now for those who don't know about such things, feeler gauges are strips of metal of a given thickness, and printed on them is what the thickness is, so you hopefully have one that says .015 inches. They're used, of course, to measure the gaps between two surfaces, like ignition points.
Without a feeler gauge, Robin had just no chance of measuring this gap of 15/1000ths of an inch. He couldn't even begin to guess how big a gap 15/1000ths is. After all, he was a man of the sea; he knew about jibs, and sheetlines, and mainsails, and fathoms. But 15/1000ths of an inch? Not a chance. So he cursed in frustration and resigned himself to losing his radio and probably dying a horrible and lonely death on the high seas. Well, that night as he sat down with his diary to write about the day's events and his certain demise at sea, he had an inspiration and he figured out how to measure that gap of 15/1000ths of an inch using the various things that he had on board.
How did he do it?
Think you know? Drop Ray a note!

ENOVIA Copy and Artwork Central
ENOVIA® Copy and Artwork Central enables companies to collaboratively edit, translate, and approve copy and graphic artwork content, maintaining relationships between the primary language used in a company and the local translations used on artwork.
ENOVIA® Copy and Artwork Central™ provides a holistic copy and artwork management solution, allowing companies to manage their artwork assets as well as the artwork process while taking into account the complexities of multiple products, product variants and languages in a single repository.
ENOVIA® Copy and Artwork Central enables companies to collaboratively edit, translate, and approve copy and graphic artwork content, maintaining relationships between the primary language used in a company and the local translations used on artwork. The content is managed in context of the product or brand hierarchy, promoting reuse and maintaining consistency within the brand between variants and across the product portfolio. Industry standard copy classification and XML export formats are used to facilitate communication with design studios regarding artwork copy content.
ENOVIA® Copy and Artwork Central also provides the capability to store and manage approvals of the final artwork file, tying it to the approved structured content. Managing the content in this "bill of material-like" manner provides a powerful "where used" capability to quickly identify artwork that will be affected when copy needs to be modified due to changing regulations and other business needs. The capability to export the copy in industry standard xml format enables tools used by graphic designers to easily import copy into the artwork with no re-keying (or cut 'n paste) by the graphic designer.
In addition to managing a company's artwork assets ENOVIA® Copy and Artwork Central provides a flexible workflow to manage the artwork process. Incorporated with the single repository of artwork assets, the solution provides powerful real-time visibility to the artwork process for artwork project managers and other key stakeholders.
Search for product configurations based on selected features to improve part re-use and minimize feature proliferation
Create new product configurations for commercial release or for evaluation
Generate Engineering Bills of Material (EBOMs) based on customer specific product configurations that satisfy Design to Order/Engineer to Order (DTO, ETO) demands
View the logical feature decomposition and compare it against existing designs to maximize the reuse of existing parts
View customer configurations to assess the needs and validate against existing product designs
- ENOVIA® Copy and Artwork Central provides the capability to: • Manage artwork content as structured data, maintaining the connection between master copy and the local translations • Manage content in the context of the product hierarchy, providing consistency in the content throughout the brand, between variants and across the product portfolio. • Collaboratively edit, translate, and approve artwork content on a "just in time" basis • Comply with United States FDA Part 11 guidelines for audit trails and authentication Easily export and reuse approved copy data into the artwork design process utilizing industry standards • Manage the entire artwork process with visibility to real-time status of all artwork assets – both artwork content and final artwork
Manage Copy as Structured DataArtwork content is managed as structured data, maintaining not only the connection between master copy and local copy, but also which pieces of art the copy is used on. This allows companies to do "where used" analysis in the event the copy needs to be changed in the event of changing regulations, marketing initiatives or other business drivers. The content can also be exported for use by graphic designers, eliminating the need for them to re-key or cut 'n paste copy text into the final artwork, further reducing errors. Auditable version control provides history and accountability, while ensuring that the latest approved version is used.
Manage Copy in the Context of the Brand HierarchyTo provide consistent messaging in artwork across a product line, the artwork elements are managed within the context of the brand hierarchy so that individual products automatically inherit copy from the product lines they are in. Reuse of artwork elements means not only consistent messaging, but also reduces the touches for both authors and approvers. This helps prevent data entry errors and increases the productivity of the authors and approvers by not requiring redundant work across artwork initiatives.
Manage Copy and Final Artwork TogetherManaging not only copy and graphics in a single repository but also the final artwork, means that artwork planners or project managers have visibility to the full final artwork process and no longer have to "hunt people down" to find out the status of copy or artwork. With ENOVIA® Copy and Artwork Central, artwork planners or project managers can easily identify which artwork elements have been authored and/or approved, and if not completed, who is assigned to the work. Similarly with the final artwork, once the final artwork is submitted by the graphic designer, the artwork planner can track the review and approval process of the artwork.
Benefits for High Value ENOVIA and Partner ProductsIncreased productivity, reduction in errors, and consistency in brand messaging are all things a company can expect to achieve when utilizing ENOVIA® Copy and Artwork Central. Additional ENOVIA and Partner products extend the scope and scenario: • Utilizing ENOVIA® Collaboration for Adobe Creative Suite, companies can increase collaboration with graphics designers by allowing direct access and storage of final artwork and other artwork assets into the ENOVIA database. • Utilizing ENOVIA® CPG Accelerator™ for Integrated Product Management (CPN), companies can connect the final artwork to the product bill-of-material, providing a full single version of the truth for all product related data. • Utilizing Esko Artwork's Dynamic Content Plug-in and Dynamic Content Connector, users can copy to flow from the ENOVIA® database into the artwork, eliminating the need to copy 'n paste or re-type copy text into the final artwork.
The Role of ENOVIA V6 and PLM 2.0ENOVIA Copy and Artwork Central supports PLM 2.0, product lifecycle management online for everyone, and the ENOVIA V6 values, which are: • Global collaborative innovation • Single PLM platform for intellectual property (IP) management • Online creation and collaboration • Ready to use PLM business processes • Lower cost of ownership

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The Green River Pirate basketball team prepared for the upcoming 1-A Utah State basketball tournament by closing out the region season with a game at Monticello. After having defeated Monticello earlier in the year by a big score of 74-47, the Pirates were expecting a much tougher game on Monticello's home court and that is just what they got.
With Green River riding a winning streak of 12 straight games and Monticello on an eight game winning streak of their own, one would expect a barnburner in this game and that is exactly what came out of the game with Green River edging Monticello 56-55.
The Pirates led 17-15 after the first quarter and 27-26 at the half. Monticello led 42-39 after three quarters and Green River won this game with senior Justin Johnson hitting a lay-up with just more than four seconds left in the game to give Green River the lead.
Johnson scored 30 points to lead the team with Erick Mendez scoring 14 points, Spencer Marshall scoring eight points and Adrian Escalante scoring four points.
Green River went 10 for 12 at the free throw line in the fourth quarter in grabbing the win. The Pirates finished 17 for 22 in the game, a 77 percent rate. Monticello lost this game at the free throw line as they were five for 20, a 25 percent rate.
Green River will open the tournament at 10 a.m. this Wednesday in the Sevier Valley Center with a game against either Wendover or Valley. That play-in game will be played Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. at the Sevier Valley Center.

Hi Guys
I have searched and read loads of stuff about throttling and the difference between 90W and 65W power supplies all having an effect on the above subject.
However, none of the fixes seem to work. Lots of you report a WEI of 7.1 whereas I can only get 3.4 with the battery in before anyone asks that question!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
My scores are as follows:-
Processor 3.4
Memory 5.6
Graphics 5.9
Gaming Graphics 6.3
Primary Hard Disk 7.9
My specs are as follows:-
Lenovo X220
i7 2620M @ 2.7Ghz
8GB Crucial Ram
Windows 7 Professional 64
Maximum performance selected in Advanced
Turbo boost turned on in basic mode
Cheers all
Sad Nation
Solved! Go to Solution.
That's pretty screwy. Mine is 7.1 like most others.
Have you checked your tassk manager process list to make sure nothing is chewing up cpu cycles before you start the WEI benchmark?
Download hwinfo64 and see what the processor speed is during the testing...
I downloaded that program and during the CPU Performance it was stuck on 800 Mhz!
The performance you record is way out of line. Running on both the 65w and 90w power bricks I get
Processor 7.1
Memory 7.5
Graphics 5.8
Gaming Graphics 6.2
Primary Hard Disk 7.5
I run multi-core and Intel support for virtualization. My 4286-CTO configuration is:X220 i7-2620M, 12.5" basic, Intel 310 msata (primary), Samsung 256 FED SSD 6GB RAM, Lenovo B/G/N WiFi, no BT, Win7 64 SP1
It's as though your X220 is stuck in throttled state (exactly the same 800 Mhz documented in the throttling thread). A possible cause might be a malfunctioning temperature sensor.
Using Hwinfo64 it appears to show the cpu at 3.4 Ghz until the WEI assessment starts then it drops right back. Once the WEI stops then it bounces back upto full speed. Weird.
Just done a superpi run at full speed. It did pi to 1 million places in 11 seconds which sounds about right (four seconds quicker than my desktop!) and did not slow down at all so perhaps this is a WEI issue rather than a Lenovo problem.

Just had a quick thought about my machine and put the old hard drive that it came with back in to replace the ssd to see what happened. The WEI was run again and it said 7.1 for CPU and memory instead of 3.4 and 5.6!
Original 320Gb Hard Disk:-
Memory 7.1
Graphics 5.9
Gaming Graphics 6.3
Hard Disk 5.9
So that means the hardware is fine including the BIOS (1.19) and the culprit is probably the power management software in some way.
I just put the ssd back (as there is no way I am doing without that!) and ran the WEI again and it is still reading 3.4 for the CPU.
Crucial SSD:-
Memory 5.6
Graphics 5.9
Gaming Graphics 6.3
Hard Disk 7.9
Hmm I am not sure I am any further forward now!
08-31-2011 12:23 AM - edited 08-31-2011 10:23 AM
I cloned my original drive that the X220 came with, used the recovery disks to install W7 on the X220 and then used Acronis to clone the original drive back onto the ssd. I have just cloned my ssd again (so I can go back to where I am now) and will try doing a Lenovo recovery onto the ssd to see if that changes anything.
My suspicion is either the ssd is causing a power management problem or there is software added to my system after 31 May (when I installed my ssd) that changes the power management. Once I have ruled out the ssd, I will progressively try newer Lenovo software to isolate the rogue software.
Whenever I try to run the WEI the screen noticably dims by two notches and then brightens as soon as the benchmark is finished.

More From Trusty Cable Tools
Customer Reviews
Comments: Awesome product. Especially in the cold / cool times. Allows those fat fingers to get the connections on or off easily.
From: David: MO
Comments: This is probably the BEST accessory I bought for my units about 6 months ago. When your fingers are cold and you have to fight to turn the cable - just break out your Trusty Cable Tool and take them off in seconds. Each end is different - one size for the blue connectors, the other end is for the yellow. I put velcro around mine, then attached another piece of velcro in the top of one of my compartment lids so that I never lose it.

Public and Private Enforcement of Securities Laws: Resource-Based Evidence
Howell E. Jackson
Harvard Law School
Mark J. Roe
Harvard Law School
March 16, 2009
Journal of Financial Economics (JFE), Vol. 93, 2009
Harvard Public Law Working Paper No. 0-28
Harvard Law and Economics Discussion Paper No. 638
Ascertaining which enforcement mechanisms work to protect investors has been both a focus of recent work in academic finance and an issue for policy-making at international development agencies. According to recent academic work, private enforcement of investor protection via both disclosure and private liability rules goes hand in hand with financial market development, but public enforcement fails to correlate with financial development and, hence, is unlikely to facilitate it. Our results confirm the disclosure result but reverse the results on both liability standards and public enforcement. We use securities regulators' resources to proxy for regulatory intensity of the securities regulator. When we do, financial depth regularly, significantly, and robustly correlates with stronger public enforcement. In horse races between these resource-based measures of public enforcement intensity and the most common measures of private enforcement, public enforcement is overall as important as disclosure in explaining financial market outcomes around the world and more important than private liability rules. Hence, policymakers who reject public enforcement as useful for financial market development are ignoring the best currently-available evidence.

New home sales surged in January, rising almost 16% from December in another sign of an improving housing market.
Sales of new single-family homes in January came in at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 437,000, the government said Tuesday.
The results bested consensus estimates of 381,000.
STORY: Home prices climb 6.8%
The pace of sales was almost 29% above the January 2012 estimate of 339,000, and almost 16% above the revised December rate.
The strong showing in January follows an uptick in home builder sentiment and housing starts in recent months that hadn't been matched with an increase in sales. "Now, we're seeing sales pick up," says Patrick Newport, economist with IHS Global Insight.
The homebuilding industry has been starved for good news for years. Last year's new home sales totaled 367,000, making 2012 the third lowest year on record for new home sales. They hit record lows in 2011.
IHS Global Insight expects new home sales to rise to 464,000 this year. IHS doesn't expect new home sales to return to more normal levels, above 800,000 a year, until 2015.
Increased new home sales are a strong indicator of increasing consumer confidence in the overall U.S. housing market, says John Tashjian, principal, Centurion Real Estate Partners.
As buyers absorb existing inventory, builders will ramp up construction starts, which is also give the economy a "much needed shot in the arm," Tashjian says.

The End of the Net as We Know it? Deep Packet Inspection and Internet Governance
Ralf Bendrath
European Parliament
Milton Mueller
Georgia Institute of Technology
August 4, 2010
Advances in network equipment now allow internet service providers to monitor the content of data packets in real-time and make decisions about how to handle them. If deployed widely this technology, known as deep packet inspection (DPI), has the potential to alter basic assumptions that have underpinned Internet governance to date. The paper explores the way Internet governance is responding to deep packet inspection and the political struggles around it. Avoiding the extremes of technological determinism and social constructivism, it integrates theoretical approaches from the sociology of technology and actor-centered institutionalism into a new framework for technology-aware policy analysis.

That's the most frightened I've ever seen anyone, lol.
We all know Zoro isn't down for the count. HE CAN'T BE BEATEN. Except my Mihawk, of course (for now). He must have held back for some reason. Maybe it's related to the sword he wants. Or maybe he thinks Ryuuma is weak and wants to give him a handicap to make it interesting.
Very good chapter.

New Staple Boot.
"I am SO pleased with these. I ordered them not really sure what to expect since I usually rely a lot on fellow reviewers for their comments -- but at the time I purchased these there weren't any reviews. Anyway, these are great for several reasons -- they are SUPER comfy, I love the wedge & hint of a pointy toe. (I went with my normal size and they fit great... although I would say they run a bit narrow) They are versatile and look great with jeans, tights, and leggings. I also love how easy it is to slip these on and off. They have just the right amount of stretch. They can be dressed up or down and the color is such a great neutral. They go with everything! Definitely my new go to boot!! :)"

S-2154, the bill to slow implementation of PARCC, Common Core and the new teacher evaluation system, has been posted for a vote in the Senate on Monday, June 30. If it passes, as anticipated, it will go to Gov. Christie for his signature. The Assembly passed its version, A-3081, last week by an overwhelming 72-4 margin.
S-2154/A-3081 will create an Education Reform Review Task Force to look at:
The bill also says that Student Growth Percentiles (SGP) shall not be included in the annual summative ratings of teachers for at least two years. It would give districts the option to administer the PARCC assessment online or by pencil and paper, or a combination of both during the two year period after passage of the bill. Finally, it specifies that the Department of Education may not use the PARCC assessment for student or school accountability purposes for at least two years after passage of the bill.
You can use NJEA's Take Action tool to contact your senator and urge him or her to support S-2154.

Bridal Beauty: What Makeup I'm Wearing to Get Married
I'm not one of those girls who's dreamed of getting married since she was old enough to understand the words "bride" and "groom." I never fantasized wedding dresses or centerpieces. I didn't wish for a Prince Charming to sweep me off my feet (sorry, fiancé, if you're reading this).
But what I did dream about was a legit excuse to buy as many beauty products as I wanted. A reason to try 13 different eye shadows. An excuse to spend three hours searching the Internet for the perfect shade of lip gloss. A reason to splurge a little.
My pending nuptials seem like the perfect excuse. I gave myself a little longer of a leash than usual, and went all out. Here's a few tips that I learned along the way, plus the products that I think will give me the natural-me-but-better look for my big day.
One thing I don't want to have to worry about on my wedding day is my makeup melting. In order to stay off the sweaty train, two things are key: a good primer and a layering of different types of makeup.
I start with ARCONA's Desert Mist, a daily primer and skin protectant. It seals in moisture and helps create a smooth base for all your subsequent blending. I've also heard Amala's Purifying Mattifier is a good one.
- Liquid foundation: I already gave this puppy its due on the blog last week, but I can't say enough how excited I am to have found 100% Pure Healthy Skin Foundation. It has silky coverage without making me look like I'm in a theatre production of "Cats," it doesn't melt off and it doesn't give me too much of a "glow" (I'm not really a dewy-skin lover). I stipple it on with a Beauty Blender because it's awesome and works better than a sponge or a brush or my fingers (I've tried them all, people) to get even, not-cakey coverage.
- Sticky-ish liquid concealer: I do this concealer from Mineral Fusion* (which comes with two colors so you can mix a custom for your skintone) OVER my foundation. Otherwise the stippling takes it all off.
- Mineral foundation: Something to remember, which will come up later when we talk about eyeshadow—you want to avoid shimmer and glitter and sparkly-ness on your wedding day. They create bounce-back when your photog snaps glamour shots of you and your S.O., which can wreck the images and make you look older than you actually are. And NO ONE wants that. So, the mineral foundation I use is a totally matte one that we've recommended on the blog before: Alima Pure. So many colors. So much lovely, soft coverage. It's the bomb.com. The only thing I've ever loved as much as it was Jane Iredale's PurePressed Foundation, which is a bit pricier.
- Blush: I am NOT a rosy girl. I much prefer a little color in the form of a bronzer (no shimmer) but for the wedding-day, I want to look more polished than usual. So, I went back a tried-and-true matte blush (remember how I said to avoid shimmer? Blush is included here.): Alima Pure Satin Matte Blush in Pink, a literally universally flattering shade.
- Luminizer: Now, I said before shimmer is baaaad. And I stand by that statement… until photos are through. Then I'm going to dab a little of (the best beauty product in the world) RMS' Living Luminizer in the inner corners of my eyes, down the bridge of my nose and on my cupid's bow. Glow-ing.
This was where most of my searching, researching and testing happened. I just had a tricky time finding a matte (are you sick of that word yet?) eyeshadow palette that was flattering and contouring enough. So, I mixed my own.
- Eyeshadow: I bought a load of samples from W3LL PEOPLE (thank you to any and all clean lines that offer this service—it is the best thing ever) and ended up finding my perfect shade in a slightly unlikely place—the mineral brow pigment. I use a medium shade on my lid (Matte Taupe) and a darker shade in my crease (Matte Espresso).
- Eyeliner: For all-day wear, liquid liner is your best bet. I haven't found a clean one that I lurve, so I improvise by creating my own. I do a thin line on my top lid only (don't want any bleeding under my eyes on my big day) of Jane Iredale's Eye Pencil in Black Brown. Then, I dip a stiff eyeliner brush in water before dabbing it in Modern Minerals' loose mineral eyeliner in Cocoa. I gently enhance the Jane Iredale line with this deep chocolate shade, thickening the line a bit.
- Mascara: I looove me some mascara. I already have long, curled lashes (my hair stylist asked me last week if I'd gotten eyelash extensions after I swiped on one coat of black-brown mascara) but I need some additional thickening. To get the look I want, I use two mascaras in sequence: a) 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Mascara in Dark Chocolate (it actually smells like I'm swiping melted dark chocolate on my lashes, which is just an added bonus to its lengthening power). b) Josie Maran GOGO Instant Natural Volume Argan Mascara in Pitch Black. This baby thickens and darkens, giving me almost-falsies.
My lips are SENSITIVE, so I've tried many a balm, stick, gloss and stain in order to find the perfect one that doesn't make my lips swell and flake. I also didn't want one with too much color, as I'm doing a heavier eye than I normally would. In order to get that my-lips-but-better look, I'm using two products:
- Dr. Hauschka's Lip Liner in Soft, Muted Rose. It's almost exactly the shade of my natural lips, so I'm only using it to help my real color stay on longer. Creating a base of a stickier substance, like the liner, helps hold color in place (since I'm not jumping on the 14-hour dirty lip color train).
- My holy grail of lip color and gloss: RMS Beauty's Lip Shine in Bloom. Confession: I own ALL the colors of the Lip Shine. I love them so much – they go on sheer but can be layered for more color. They leave a light stain so even once the gloss wears off, I still have a little color. And Bloom is the perfect shade to make me look super put together on a no-makeup day or enhance my lips for a special occasion (aka, my wedding).
That's it peeps. Seems like a lot, but I think it'll all help me feel confident about looking my best on wedding day (t minus three days…). What products did you use for your wedding? What did I miss?

Slightly smaller than Texas, Myanmar occupies the Thailand/Cambodia portion of the Indochinese peninsula. India lies to the northwest and China to the northeast. Bangladesh, Laos, and Thailand are also neighbors. The Bay of Bengal touches the southwest coast. The fertile delta of the Irrawaddy River in the south contains a network of interconnecting canals and nine principal river mouths.
Military regime.
The ethnic origins of modern Myanmar (known historically as Burma) are a mixture of Indo-Aryans, who began pushing into the area around 700 B.C. , and the Mongolian invaders under Kublai Khan who penetrated the region in the 13th century. Anawrahta (1044–1077) was the first great unifier of Myanmar.
In 1612, the British East India Company sent agents to Burma, but the Burmese doggedly resisted efforts of British, Dutch, and Portuguese traders to establish posts along the Bay of Bengal. Through the Anglo-Burmese War in 1824–1826 and two subsequent wars, the British East India Company expanded to the whole of Burma. By 1886, Burma was annexed to India, then became a separate colony in 1937.

By RICHARD WALJEPresidentRocky Mountain Power
The men and women who work at Rocky Mountain Power are proud to provide electric service to Utah. We've provided safe, reliable, reasonably priced electricity to our customers for nearly 100 years. That foundation of long experience helps us plan for the future needs of customers and advise Utah on how developing energy policy is likely to affect electricity prices. A good understanding of our current energy situation-as well as what the future holds-will help all of us collectively shape our future.
For years, Utah electricity prices have been among the lowest in the world, and Utah's past energy decisions played a big role in that. These low electricity prices have contributed to Utah's phenomenal growth in recent years as new businesses and families are attracted to our state. Even with the recession, customers are using more electricity than ever before. We're working hard to ensure electricity is available to support this growth. We're expanding neighborhood electric systems and building new power plants for you. We're also building new transmission lines to move the electricity from where it's generated to your homes and businesses. And, we're improving the environmental performance of existing low-cost power plants, allowing them to continue to meet environmental regulations and supply some of the lowest-cost electricity in the nation.
The increasing demand for electricity and new environmental regulations unavoidably increase electricity prices. We've been straightforward in talking about the future of prices. Like the building phase in the 1970s to the mid-1980s-when new power plants and transmission lines were built to serve you-annual increases in electricity prices are likely for the next decade. Even with these increases, Rocky Mountain Power is committed to retaining our position as a low-cost electricity provider. Customers can be assured that our decisions are thoroughly reviewed by the Public Service Commission of Utah to ensure we act in your best interests. We also invite public input as we make these decisions on your behalf.
No one likes price increases; we get that. However, electricity is a growing part of modern life and essential for the economy-for our homes and for businesses that mean jobs today and for our children. We work hard to control costs to keep electricity prices low. Over the past four years, we cut our own operating costs 32 percent through improved efficiency. We continue to look for ways to become more efficient.
You can help keep electricity prices low, too. We offer award-winning programs to help you use less electricity and lower your energy bills. This helps individuals with their personal finances and helps keep electricity prices low for everyone because it delays the need to build costly new power plants. Cash incentives for efficient appliances, refrigerator recycling, better home insulation and other programs are popular with customers and highly effective. Customer participation in these programs saves enough electricity to power 28,000 average residential homes for a year.
Our recent price increase request would mean about $10 more on a typical monthly residential bill. To put that in perspective, Rocky Mountain Power now provides power for homes, work, schools, hospitals and entertainment-all for about 79 cents a day per person. The increase is an additional 12 cents.
As we continue the challenging work to ensure safe, reliable, reasonably priced electric service, we hope citizens will become involved in understanding and shaping our energy future.
Our website, www.rockymountainpower.net, contains information customers can use to learn more about our business and steps they can take to use electricity more efficiently. We look forward to our continuing partnership.

AMAZING Investment
"Solid, breathable, water-ready shoe worn to Disney World for seven days (7 am - 9 pm). Four theme parks in sunshine & rain. Great fit & they work well w/unusual arches & bunions. Memory foam insoles: Fantastic! By end of the trip: No blisters, no foot/back pain. Stubbed my toes but didn't feel it, reinforced toe in shoe. Soles are hardly dented or scratched even after 12-14 mi. per day. Still look brand new and mesh held up. Did not get blisters or chaffing, no "breaking-in" required. Highly recommend J-41 Tahoe shoes as a stylish and comfortable walking/hiking shoe."

I loooove these shoes!
"I've had the grey pair since last spring. And the more I wear them, the more I love them. They are extremely comfortable and look great with jeans. I had a little bit of trouble at first with the elastic rubbing me at the back of my ankle, but as long as I had on a pair of socks with enough cushion, its great. When it did irritate me, I could just slip my foot out and bend that part down with no trouble."

I.D. Spotlight: Yves Behar
Every once in a while I'll spotlight a designer from industry. This may be someone well know, not so well know, past, or present. The purpose is to become more acquainted with others in our field. Today's designer, Yves Behar, is well know. I grabbed this excerpt from Wikipedia;
Béhar started his career with frogdesign as design leader and Lunar Design in Silicon Valley, developing products for clients such as Apple Inc.,Hewlett Packard, and Silicon Graphics.
Upon founding fuseproject, Behar says his goals are threefold. Firstly, he wants to be a futurist, optimistic about the possibilities of new technology. Secondly, he's a humanist, in that his designs seek to put the human experience first. And, finally, he's a committed naturalist, promoting sustainable ways of living and consuming. That fusion, of technology with humanity, of brand and story, of all aspects of design, from product to advertising to online to point of purchase to user experience, is his central message. He states, "We have one foot in the consumer's space and one foot in our client's space, so we can act as the bridge, or the glue." [3]
Béhar's designs and creative positioning are at work in diverse areas as fashion, lifestyle, sports and technology, for clients such as Birkenstock,BMW's MINI, haasprojekt, Herman Miller, HBF, Hewlett Packard, Hussein Chalayan, Microsoft, Nike, OLPC, Philou, PUIG and Toshiba.
In 2005, a massive chandelier sculpted by Behar for Swarovski was installed at JFK airport. The piece is a loose tangle of organic curves with 55,000 crystals, and includes a motion detector triggering 2,000 blue light-emitting diodes that react to the movement of passengers [4].
He is the chief industrial designer of OLPC's XO laptop, signing on with the project in 2005 [3] and has been with the team since March of 2006 [5].
He designed and holds a stake in the highly acclaimed Bluetooth headset, Jawbone, which he calls a facial accessory [6].
He designed a set-top box for French broadcaster Canal Plus. "Le cube", in black and white.

"These puppies are high. They are though surprisingly comfy as long as you aren't standing the whole day. Like, an all day shift at the office? Perfect. No swelling, no need to take them off on my way home. Wearing them to run some errands one weekend after church... not so much.They are really high though and if you aren't used to height, might not be the best shoe for you. You will be essentially walking on your tippy toes.But, the near wedge like base offers nice support. Feel really confident in them."

Climate change and soon-to-be-obsolete weather satellites are the two new subjects listed in the Government Accountability Office's "high risk" list.
WASHINGTON -- The weather: It's something everybody complains about, but the federal government isn't doing enough to address, congressional auditors say.
Climate change and soon-to-be-obsolete weather satellites are the two new subjects listed in the non-partisan Government Accountability Office's "high risk" list. The report, released at the beginning of each new Congress, highlights problems that can have a significant impact on health, safety, services and the federal budget.
Climate change presents specific perils to the federal government, the report says: About 30 military bases are located in areas impacted by rising sea levels. Federal flood and crop insurance programs are vulnerable to storm surges and drought. A record number of disaster declarations have resulted in federal disaster aid payouts of $80 billion from 2004 to 2011.
And the risks associated with those changing weather patterns are compounded by another sleeper issue: aging weather satellites.
The last generation of weather satellites is failing faster than new satellites can replace them. Previous estimates have said the resulting satellite "gap" could begin next year and last 18 to 24 months. But the GAO, taking into account the worst case scenarios, says the gap could actually last more than twice as long: 53 months.
"We are quite aware of the potential gap ... and are working on coming up with mitigating strategies to deal with it," said National Weather Service Director Louis Uccellini said in a phone interview last week. He said these strategies would include developing alternative observation systems, and also improved data assimilation using other types of data.
Those efforts haven't completely satisfied the GAO. "It is not clear when decisions will be made to implement the steps needed to ensure that the options are viable," the report says.
Without polar-orbiting satellites, the report noted, the forecasts of the 2010 "Snowmageddon" could have underestimated the amount of snow by 10 inches, and the predicted landfall of the 2012 Superstorm Sandy would have been hundreds of miles off.
Inclusion on the high-risk list can often serve as a catalyst for greater federal attention to an issue. Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., called the inclusion of climate change in the report "a landmark decision" and called for hearings in the House Oversight Committee, where he's the ranking Democrat.
"What GAO is telling us today is that Congress cannot afford to block or delay action any longer," he said.
The report comes two days after President Obama put climate change on the agenda in his State of the Union Address. "We can choose to believe that Superstorm Sandy, and the most severe drought in decades, and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence. Or we can choose to believe in the overwhelming judgment of science -- and act before it's too late," he said.
Congressional Republicans were mostly silent on the climate issues in the report, and instead focused on more longstanding high-risk programs -- especially concerns about the solvency of the Federal Housing Administration. "The FHA is broke and is quickly approaching bailout-broke," said Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Tex., chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.
