The U.S. Open champion and Olympic gold medalist will play sixth-seeded Milos Raonic of Canada in the semifinals on Saturday. Raonic outlasted third-seeded Janko Tipsarevic 6-7 (5), 6-2, 7-6 (7) in a match that took nearly 2 hours, 45 minutes.
Second-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic will take on local favorite Kei Nishikori, the eighth seed, later Friday in another quarterfinal, while Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus will meet qualifier Dmitry Tursunov of Russia in the other.
Murray broke Wawrinka in the opening game of the match, but had to battle to hold serve in the next game, staving off three break points before finally going up 2-0.
Murray, who beat Wawrinka in the first round on the way to winning the gold medal at the London Games, came to the net successfully several times in the first set and broke again with an overhead smash after a lengthy rally to take a 4-1 lead. He closed out the set with an ace.
Wawrinka, ranked 16th, broke Murray in the fourth game of the second set to move ahead 3-1 and then held serve to take the set. Playing primarily from the baseline, Wawrinka blasted several winners to level the match.
In the deciding set, Murray broke in the fourth game to take a 3-1 lead, after Wawrinka staved off three break points. Murray's deep returns and some timely passing shots proved decisive in the final set as he closed out the match with another break.
Raonic closed his hard-fought victory with his 24th ace of the match. It was just the second time he played Tipsarevic, with the first being a similarly closely contested match in Chennai earlier this year.

Book Now
After 35 years in the decorative antiques and jewelry retail business, my husband and I retired in 2008. When we started cataloging and photographing the beautiful things that we had collected over the last 45 years, we decided that the time had come to part with some of them. We had stores in Southampton, Boca Raton, St. Armand's Key, and in San Francisco's Pacific Heights. Our collection was culled from the major art and antique markets in both Europe and the United States. Enjoy.

A neighbor called and complained to the school district about the bus driving into the cul-de-sac. This year the Washington County School District Transportation Department decided that they will pick up and drop off my son on the corner of Indian Hills Blvd and 500 South Cir. which is more than 250 yards from my home. The corner of Indian Hills and 500 South Circle is a very dangerous place to drop of my son because it is a blind corner with average vehicle speeds of 40 mph, and the on-coming traffic will not be able to stop in time should Jacob decide to run into the street. He is unaware of common danger as it states in his IEP. The corner also is far enough away from our home that I will not be able to hear the bus if she is arrives early and needs to honk to get my attention.
It is also safer and easier for the bus driver to come and turn around in the cul-de-sac. Otherwise the driver will have to make a U-turn on Indian Hills Blvd (which is extremely dangerous) or drive much further to get the children to school. I called Transportation and talked with a lady named Penny when I heard from the new bus driver that they would not be delivering Jacob to our home this year. I relayed my concerns about my son, his disability and the dangers of the corner. She said if the bus driver was able to see me at the end of the street, the bus driver could drop him off and that it is "not safe" for the bus to go into cul-de-sacs. She also said that her "higher-ups" told her that special education buses are no longer supposed to go into cul-de-sacs. When I asked if I could take my concerns to her supervisors at the Utah State Office of Education she said that she did not have the phone number but that I could look it up online.
After finding the number on my own, I called the Utah State Office of Education and got in touch with Morelle Martin. He told me that Special Education buses do in fact go into to cul-de-sacs on a regular basis and there is no policy of the buses not being allowed into cul-de-sacs. He did say that if the cul-de-sac was deemed unsafe by the Public Works and Public Safety department then maybe the bus would be disallowed from entry into that specific cul-de-sac. I called and talk to Kevin Cutler at the Public Works Department for the City of Saint George and he looked up my street and let me know that I live on a public road with a "full size cul-de-sac". He stated that cul-de-sacs in general are meant for a full size fire truck to turn around without any problem.
For my son's safety he needs to be dropped off in front of my home like his IEP states, which is, from my understanding, a federally mandated document. Last year the woman who drove my son to school had her shorter special education bus break down, so she had to switch to a full size bus that was also handicap accessible. She had 2 students that were wheel chair bound. With her full size bus she was very easily able to turn around in the cul-de-sac with no problems whatsoever, even on days when there were trash cans out on the street. When the bus driver first started driving my son to school at the beginning of last year there was a time or two that she had to back up to make the full circle when the trash cans were out on the street. She has an aid with her that can look out her back window if there are any hazards or cars behind the bus. The bus driver last year informed me that the same neighbor complained and that her boss at the Washington County School District Transportation Department put pressure on her to 'fix it'. The neighbor would stand outside every morning and watch the bus driver drive around the cul-de-sac and then call and complain often. The bus driver felt pressure from her boss and from the neighbor and out of desperation asked me to help.
We live directly across the street from an LDS church. In order to take pressure off the bus driver, we got a letter from the bishop in charge of the building giving the bus driver permission to use the chapel parking lot, which allowed the bus driver to pick up Jacob without having to drive to the end of the cul-de-sac (which is where the complaining neighbor lives). The bus driver drove through the parking lot for about 3 days and the neighbor came out and took pictures of the bus driver. The bus driver felt she was being harassed and gave up and started to drive to the end of the cul-de-sac until the end of the year. Penny stated that the LDS church complained about the bus going into the parking lot which I know is not true. I feel the Washington County School District Transportation Department has no concern for the safety of my handicapped son and only cares about the ludicrous demands of a complaining neighbor.
I am very concerned that the very people who should be concerned for the well being and safety of handicapped children are not. It is extremely disturbing to me that last year the bus driver even heard about the complaining neighbor. The bus driver's job is to drive the kids in her bus safely home. She shouldn't have to deal with politics or the complaints of crazy people or most importantly undue pressure from her supervisors. I feel this should have stopped last year at the Transportation Department. They should know the law, and that the cul-de-sac is indeed safe for the Special Education Bus or any other school bus. Rather than acquiesce to pressure from one complaining citizen, they should inform that citizen that her complaints are noted but won't be acted upon. Instead, the school district has decided that even though it's ok for a fire truck, a FedEx truck or the trash truck to use the street, they would rather side with the "needs" of a crazy person instead of the law and the needs and safety of our child. At this point we have been unable to determine who at the Washington County School District Transportation Department is ultimately responsible for this decision, but that public employee should be ashamed. Now we intend to exert a little pressure of our own. It's what any mother would do to protect her child.

What, my mom is going to write a blog?
Hi, I'm Spanky. Let me just say welcome to our blog! Alfie and I have no idea what mom is thinking, we'll just have to wait and see. (What's next, she's going to learn to text????) In any event, we look forward to sharing some of our behind the scenes moments at our Vermont Bed and Breakfast with you. Mind you, our idea of a great day is pretty simple – like today, we got to go for a walk to the bank, and the nice ladies there gave us cookies. I got to go behind the teller line to make an extra cookie withdrawal. What a great day here in Woodstock!

Ready in 30 minutes, these jalapeño poppers take on a Thai influence in a standout snack that's right at home at either casual or dressed-up affairs.
Look for jalapeños that say "en escabeche" on the label. This means they are pickled in a liquid of vinegar, onions and carrots. Some brands may not include this on the label, so just check the ingredient list on the can.
Try these warm. Prepare as directed; place on broiler pan in between indents to prevent the stuffed jalapeños from rolling while baking. Bake at 350°F 10 minutes or until warm. Cool slightly before eating.
The small end of a small melon baller works wonderfully to remove the seeds and hollow out the inside of the chiles.

"You have been negotiating all my life. You cannot tell me you need more time."
Those words were spoken by Christina Ora, a youth delegate from the Solomon Islands to the plenary of COP 15 in Copenhagen last year. This year they are emblazoned on the backs of hundreds youth in blue T-shirts. Dozens of youth lined up to greet delegates this morning as they funnelled through the Cancunmesse on their way to the buses that carry them into the heavily secured Moon Palace for negotiations.
Once again there are numerous youth delegations at the COP, and once again they are providing the energy that so far is lacking from this negotiating session. While many governments have played down expectations, the youth, indigenous peoples, Small Island Developing States and others continue to point out that there isn't a lot of time to waste if global emissions are to be brought under control.
There was a noisy youth demonstration here today with lots of colour and creativity as part of "Youth and Future Generations Day". Unfortunately, few delegates heard it because most are over at the Moon Palace. They spent much of the day in contact groups behind closed doors.
Just what is happening there is a matter of some speculation and lots of corridor discussion. Earlier this morning there was little information circulating and some confusion over which version of text was being used for the negotiations – the one produced after the discussions in Tianjin, China, in October or a "chair's text" circulated more recently. Late in the day we heard another negotiating text is being prepared and will be available on Saturday.
Given that many people think not much will happen here, it surprised some people to hear that the chair of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long Term Cooperative Action (AWG-LCA) has challenged countries to deal with hard issues first. The usual approach is to "pick low-hanging fruit" and leave the tough bargaining for another time. In Cancun, this fruit includes a deal on deforestation, which is expected to happen, as well as technology transfer and financing. Depending on whom you talk to, even some of this low-hanging fruit is high up in the tree. The LAC chair is taking a chance – it may be that the strategy produces no deal at all. But it might just get this cumbersome body to rise to the challenge.
Meanwhile, Japan is still loved. Despite having announced it is not interested in extending the Kyoto Protocol when it expires in 2012, there is a big red heart on the wall of Cancunmesse saying, "We love you Japan" and "Don't go".
In making the announcement, a Japanese official said "it does not make sense" to extent Kyoto since the countries that it covers account for only 27% of GHG emissions. To achieve real global reductions, he said, countries need to build on the commitments under the non-binding Copenhagen Accord. The 140 countries that have made pledges under the accord account for 80% of global emissions.
This is just the kind of thing that makes the youth delegates here crazy. It sounds like time wasting and manoeuvring for political advantage. To them, it doesn't sound like Japan – or many other nations – are serious about taking the steps needed to keep climate change under control.
They and many others hope the challenge to delegates to debate the tough issues first bears fruit.

I chose history as a degree because I want to teach. USAO gives me access to highly-qualified historians at a cost that won't leave me shackled with debt as I start my career. -Isaac Treadaway/Norman, OK
Historians interpret human experiences, achievements and shortcomings. An understanding of the past is essential for the truly liberal education.
Without careful study of history, the lessons of the past are lost. History offers an ordered account of past experiences and their significance in our present lives.
The past affects and shapes our lives. Its study connects diverse people together and provides a measure by which our actions, ideas, goals and conduct can be evaluated.
The awareness and incorporation of history into our daily lives fosters personal growth, professional competence and civic responsibility.
History encompasses the growth of political organizations; the development of economic, social, and religious institutions; and the course of literary, cultural and intellectual movements.
Specialization in history illuminates the origins of our present world and prepares the student with research, writing and analytical skills. A degree in history opens avenues to careers in business, government and teaching, as well as to graduate and professional schools.
Besides the baccalaureate in history, history courses are an integral part of the program leading to a teaching certificate in social studies.

Robert A. Haugen
Well-known financial economist and Durango resident Robert A. Haugen died Sunday, Jan. 6, 2013, at his home. He was 70.
Known as Bob, he was born to Raymond and Caroline Raab Haugen on June 26, 1942, in Chicago.
Mr. Haugen graduated from Lane Tech College Preparatory High School in Chicago in 1960. He attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, graduating magna cum laude with a bachelors degree in finance and going on to receive his doctorate in finance from the same institution.
In 1968, Mr. Haugen became an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison where, continuing his collaboration with a professor from graduate school, A. James Heins, he began examining historical stock data from the Center for Research in Security Prices.
Using data from 1926 through 1971, they were astonished to find that in both equity and bond markets, the relationship between risk and return was negative, contradicting a basic tenet in the field of finance, his family said. This finding was not well-received by the academic community.
Dr. Haugen eventually held endowed chairs at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, the University of Illinois and the University of California at Irvine.
In the early 1970s, Mr. Haugen served as an expert witness in the precedent-setting legal and environmental battle known as the Reserve Mining case. Reserve Mining and the other defendant companies were disposing of thousands of tons of taconite tailings into Lake Superior. Mr. Haugen determined that the companies could afford to use alternate means of disposal without bankrupting their operations, which helped restore the health of Lake Superior.
A vocal critic of the efficient market hypothesis and the capital asset pricing model, Dr. Haugens professional legacy includes scores of supporters and admirers, a prolific body of published research, 15 books on finance and the stock market available in seven languages, and the respect and appreciation of professional investors worldwide who converted his theories into profitable investments, his family said. Recently ranked among the Top 20 most-published academics in the top finance journals, his academic work has inspired thousands of professionals to question long-held tenets of the academic establishment.
In 1992, he founded Haugen Custom Financial Systems.
Mr. Haugen is survived by his wife, Jan Bowler, of Durango; daughters Wendy Haugen of Durango and Sally Haugen Ellingsen in Coeur dAlene, Idaho; siblings Marilyn Larson and Richard Haugen, both of the Chicago area; and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family members.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013. For details, email email@example.com.

What You Will Learn
This white paper presents real-world case studies describing how three organizations benefitted from implementing Cisco® Unified Border Element (CUBE), a session border controller (SBC) deployed on Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs):
● An IT service provider with 100 employees migrated to Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) at its own pace by deploying CUBE alongside a Cisco time-division multiplexing (TDM) gateway on the same Cisco router
● A healthcare provider with 150 sites implemented CUBE, increasing availability and capacity, blocking unwanted calls and faxes according to voice policy, and lowering costs by 10-15 percent
● A global commodities trader deployed CUBE to interoperate with service providers around the world that implement SIP in subtly different ways, and to support high-definition videoconferencing
EPL, Inc. Simplifies Migration from TDM to SIP
A 100-person company located in Birmingham, Alabama, EPL provides data processing and turnkey IT services to credit unions. When relocating its voice system to a collocation facility, EPL wanted to keep the same phone numbers to avoid disruption for customers and unnecessary expenses such as reprinting business stationery. EPL also wanted to increase availability as part of its business continuity strategy. "Making sure customers can reach their support engineers is critical to our business," says Doug Davidson, senior network engineer for EPL. "We wanted to be able to reroute calls to a secondary server in another location if one site experienced issues."
EPL worked with two voice service providers, one for toll-free inbound calls from credit union members, and another for outbound calls and direct-inward-dial (DID) inbound calls. The IT team decided to migrate from TDM to SIP trunking, and looked for a session border controller that would support an orderly transition.
Solution and Results
EPL found its solution in CUBE, operating on a Cisco 3900 Series ISR. "If one of our two sites has a problem, our telephony service provider can quickly re-route calls to the other site," says Davidson.
Cisco ISRs can simultaneously support a TDM Gateway and CUBE, which allowed EPL to make the transition to SIP at its own pace:
● First, EPL moved its inbound toll-free calls to SIP trunks, continuing to use the public switched telephone network (PSTN) TDM trunk for local and 1+ outbound calling.
● Six months later, EPL ported local and 1+ outbound calling to SIP. "The Cisco ISR supports both CUBE and a TDM Gateway, so we didn't have to rush to port all numbers over a weekend," says Davidson. Instead, Davidson first ported a few numbers used for testing, routing them through Cisco Unified Communications Manager to different people to make sure there were no issues. "When I was comfortable, I ported one block of numbers at a time over three weeks," he says. When migration was complete, EPL cancelled the PSTN T1 lines.
● Even after retiring the TDM circuits, EPL continued to take advantage of the TDM Gateway on the Cisco ISR to support interactive voice response (IVR), avoiding the costs of a separate gateway. "With CUBE, we could keep control of the gateway rather than giving control to the service provider," Davidson says.
EPL plans to increase the value of CUBE by creating a local presence in certain markets without having to establish physical offices. Customers will be able to call a local number provided by the SIP service provider, which will route the call over the SIP trunk to EPL's central office.
Community Health Network Strengthened Availability and Voice-Policy Enforcement with Distributed CUBE Deployment
Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, Community Health Network spans 150 sites, including four hospitals as well as professional office buildings and imaging centers. Approximately 14,000 Cisco Unified IP Phones connect to a centralized Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.
Community Health Network processes an average of 68,000 PSTN calls daily, and had 32 primary-rate interface (PRI) trunks. But healthcare providers need to make sure that callers can reach the hospital even after disasters, when call volume spikes. Therefore, the organization wanted to increase PSTN capacity to 900 simultaneous calls, but without increasing costs. "Many of my peers in healthcare agree that we should be somewhat overtrunked to prepare for situations that will impose a heavy load," says Kevin Hartzburg, voice services manager for Community Health Network. "In addition, we had several projects in the pipeline that were going to increase call volumes."
Solution and Results
Community Health Network increased availability and call capacity by implementing three Cisco 3925 ISRs with CUBE, in two locations. The distributed CUBE deployment meets multiple business needs:
● Availability: "As a healthcare provider, we look for five-nines availability," says Vicki Plahitko, network telephony engineer for Community Health Network. "By deploying CUBE in a distributed rather than a centralized SIP trunking architecture, we are not dependent on one location or device, and we could lose one SIP trunk with minimal risk of call blocking." The IT team set up a group that searches in turn for an available router: if one router is unavailable, the call is sent through the next available router.
● Increased capacity: Each SIP trunk supports 300 simultaneous calls, for 900 total. "Increased capacity ensures callers can reach us when call volume is high, an important factor in patient safety and satisfaction," says Hartzburg.
● Improved voice-policy enforcement: Community Health Network improved network control and voice-policy enforcement by deploying the SecureLogix application on the same Cisco ISR, alongside CUBE. One benefit is the ability to block calls and faxes from known spammers. "We block about 15,000 spam faxes monthly, resulting in significant savings on paper, toner, and staff time," says Hartzburg. SecureLogix is deployed on a Cisco Services-Ready Engine (SRE) module in the router, saving space, power, cooling, and management costs compared to a standalone server. The application provides highly flexible monitoring, policy enforcement, and reporting because it has full access to signaling and media traversing the CUBE through the Cisco UC Gateway Services API.
● Faster troubleshooting: A Cisco Network Analysis Module (NAM) in the same Cisco ISR used for CUBE accelerates troubleshooting. "It's often difficult to determine if a problem originates on our side or the service provider network," says Plahitko. "With Cisco NAM, we can troubleshoot at the packet level to rule out issues on our network and provide the evidence to our service provider. Not having to drive to each location to capture packets saves an enormous amount of time."
● Cost savings: Migrating to SIP lowered voice costs by about 10 percent because the SIP provider includes free long-distance minutes with the service.
Touton: Standardized on One Session Border Controller to Interoperate with Different Service Providers Around the World
Located in the Bordeaux region of France, Touton is a 150-year old company that trades cocoa, green coffee, grains, vanilla, and spices. The company has 900 employees working from 15 offices in France, Asia, Australia, France, Africa, and the United States.
In 2011, Touton replaced six independent private branch exchange (PBX) systems with a centralized Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster in France, distributed across two sites for business continuity. The centralized call control deployment lowered capital and operational costs, and traders can now work more efficiently using collaboration tools such as presence, instant messaging, click-to-call, and videoconferencing. Traders who travel internationally use a softphone on their laptop to avoid high roaming fees on mobile phones.
To further lower cost and increase availability, Touton wanted to migrate from TDM trunks to SIP trunks. Although the company had deployed a centralized Cisco call control architecture, Touton decided to use a distributed SIP trunk architecture to minimize latency between global offices. "High performance is very important in our business, because a two-minute delay in making a trade can lead to the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars," says Nicolas Horchower, group IT manager for Touton. The challenge was finding a single session border controller that could interoperate with all of the company's service providers, each of which deploys the SIP standard slightly differently.
Solution and Results
Touton found the solution in CUBE, and has successfully migrated its offices in the United States, France, and Australia to SIP trunking. Each office has its own Cisco 2900 Series ISR with CUBE to terminate the SIP trunk. "Our original motivation for using CUBE was for demarcation, or keeping service providers out of our network," says Horchower. "Later, CUBE enabled us to solve challenges relating to the different ways service providers implement the SIP standard, helping us retain the same functionality we had with TDM." Examples include:
● The U.S. SIP provider was modifying SIP messages to suppress caller ID, and was not able to quickly meet Touton's requirement show caller ID. "We were able to address the issue ourselves by configuring CUBE to show caller ID after we received the packet from the service provider," Horchower says.
● The Australian service provider requires that its customers' routers use the service provider's proxy for external calls, but Touton wanted to keep internal calls off the service provider network. The company easily configured CUBE to use the proxy for external calls only.
● The centralized Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster uses the G.711u standard, but Touton's main European service provider supports G.711a only. CUBE provides transcoding for traffic between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and this service provider.
CUBE is also helping Touton's traders work more efficiently by collaborating with high-definition video. They use Cisco Unified IP Phones 9951 and desktop videoconferencing systems. "With high-definition video, it's almost like the other person is in the same room," Horchower says. "We've noticed that meetings are more efficient because people who can see each other get right to the point instead of wasting time on pleasantries." In conjunction with CUBE, Touton is planning to use the Packet Voice DSP Module 3 (PVDM3) on its Cisco ISR to provide video transcoding and support more video sessions without having to purchase a dedicated video bridge.
Organizations of all sizes are migrating from TDM trunks to SIP trunks to lower costs, increase security, and enhance collaboration using high-definition video. As these case studies demonstrate, using CUBE for session border control provides advantages not available from other SIP trunking solutions:
● Organizations can migrate from TDM to SIP at their own pace because the same Cisco ISR used for CUBE can simultaneously support a Cisco TDM gateway.
● CUBE provides interoperability by overcoming the differences in SIP implementations between the enterprise network and different service provider networks.
● Organizations can minimize device count by adding complementary modules in the same Cisco ISR used for CUBE, including SecureLogix for voice-policy enforcement, the Cisco Network Analysis Module, and the Cisco PVDM3 for high-density video encoding.
● Distributed deployment supports high-availability requirements in environments where an outage in one site could affect revenue, productivity, or customer satisfaction.

The Castle Dale Library is sponsoring a summer program of fun and learning. The Knights of the Order of the Castle Dale Library is for the older children in Castle Dale. Their motto is Knights of Change.
They have been learning how to make positive changes in their lives as well as increasing their knowledge about automobiles and safety awareness. They will have several activities throughout the summer and meet each Tuesday morning at 11 a.m. and all are welcome.
One week the Knights learned about yoga from instructor Partap Singh. Partap is also know as Sandon McArthur and he is from Huntington. His new name Partap Singh is translated to mean, "The lion who walks with everlasting reverence."
The journey into yoga and natural living has been a lifestyle change for Partap. He is now a vegetarian and his beliefs include not cutting your hair. Strength is derived from keeping the hair in its natural state.
On this day Partap instructed the young people on how to get in touch with their inner selves. He encouraged them to each day take time out for themselves. Partap told the young people that Kriya is the different routine postures involved in yoga.
Everyone removed their shoes to begin with and placed themselves in a yoga posture. The removal of the shoes allows the participant to get closer and form a connection with Mother Earth. The students began by sitting and breathing with their eyes closed.
The power and divinity of all people is recognized through Eastern philosophy. Part of the yoga experience is to think positive thoughts as you pause and reflect. Yoga came from Asia and Africa and has been practiced for thousands of years. Yoga simply means union, you turn in to unify yourself. There are many different types of yoga.
"As teenagers you will go through many hormonal changes. You will experience acne, skin problems and metabolism changes. Yoga can help with these processes. The better you breathe, the better you feel. Stimulate the oxygen in your blood by better breathing. The thyroid controls your metabolism. When thyroid function decreases then metabolism will also decrease. In America, we tend to stretch muscles, not nerves. We have a lot of long nerves in our bodies. All movement is controlled by nerves. Yoga can strengthen nerves," said Partap.
Partap told the students he is now drug free. He was once in a lot of trouble. Drug court helped him out a lot and he is now drug free and he attributes much of his success to yoga and a healthy lifestyle change. Partap said when people take drugs the drugs cause a reaction in the body. The drug mimics a reaction or response the body already has.
Partap said having balance in your body can help heal the damages of drugs and other unhealthy practices. Yoga is the total package for a healthy body. The yoga positions as best practiced with the eyes closed to turn inward and the proper sitting position. Partap showed the students different yoga postures. He showed them a technique to use in the mornings or anytime when they need an energy boost. He demonstrated proper stretching techniques and stress relieving positions and breathing. He showed the students a breathing technique they can teach their parents to relieve stress while driving. He said all stress seems to tighten up the shoulder area and he showed the proper way to release this stress.
Partap said good posture as you move through your yoga movements is essential. A properly aligned spine helps to alieviate some back problems. A straight spine will not constrict fluids and opens up the lungs to allow more oxygen to flow through.
"Set time apart each day for yourself. Concentrate on your breathing. The more oxygen your brain gets the better it will function," said Partap. Partap showed the students some isometric holding exercises. They will help strengthen nerves. He told the students that nerves are like a wire. If nerves aren't strong they won't hold the charge and they won't stimulate entire muscles. He said we are much stronger than we think we are. The more stretching and moving the body does the more toxins it will release. Partap said if you need to sit on a pillow you can. Neck rolls are good for stress release also. The yoga postures help prepare the body for meditation. Some chanting can accompany mediation which has a calming soothing affect on the body and mind.
"Get in touch with yourself, you are great," said Partap. Knights participating this day included: Valerie Chynoweth, Savannah Woolsey, Tylee Lester, Derick Anderson, Tiffany Funk, Anthony Jorgensen, Abram Hatfield and Caleb Woolsey.

A lightweight and supportive shoe built to push the pace in racing and training, the Nike Lunarspeed Lite+ 2 offers moderate cushioning and a semi-soft ride.
The Nike Lunarspeed Lite+ 2 is a lightweight shoe that excels at picking up the pace. A Lunarlon midsole offers responsive cushioning while Dynamic Support provides a touch of stability to combat mild overpronation. A lightweight upper offers a secure performance fit, and a durable rubber outsole gives you optimal traction for gripping the road. The Lunarspeed Lite+ 2 is ideal for racing and faster paced training.
Model Number:
Weight: 7.4 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (27mm), Forefoot (17mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The Lunarspeed Lite+ 2 is a moderate feature, moderate neutral shoe designed for speedwork and racing. This shoe is Nike+ Sensor compatible.
Comments: These shoes are a perfect racing flat for a mid to fore foot strikers looking to race longer distances. I would recommend this shoe for 5k to marathon races, although its not the lightest 5k racing shoe. It has plenty of cushioning to save you legs for the later miles in a long road race and give you some calf and achilles relief. The cushioning makes your landing feel amazingly soft for a shoe that is so light. Caution: this is not a shoe for a heel striker seeing as how there is not enough cushioning, and the heel is very slender. I generally didn't feel the dynamic support system, until my form got sloppy after mile 14 which is a good thing since it doesn't effect your natural stride. All around great shoe! Want to thank RW for posting their road test video for this shoe on YouTube, that's what really made me interested in this shoe.
From: Charles, Helotes, TX, USA. 1/29/14
Comments: These shoes are so worth the cost. I bought Nike Lunarspeed Lite+ 2 Men's Shoes Blue/Crim/Wh as my first ever running shoe and I love running in them. I received my shoes exactly when they told me they should arrive. The shoes are so comfortable. I would totally recommend these shoes to everybody.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in cooperation with the Utah Department of Transportation released a Record of Decision (ROD) for proposed improvements to U.S. Highway 6 from Interstate 15 in Spanish Fork to Interstate 70 near Green River. The ROD marks the end of a four-year-long environmental impact statement that examined potential impacts to the environments, both natural and built, surrounding US 6.
In the ROD, the "Four Lane Alternative" was identified as the best way to meet the need for a safe and efficient transportation system. The four lane alternative consists of two travel lanes in each direction for a total of four travel lanes through most of the 127-mile length of the corridor. Certain areas near wetlands would maintain a passing-lane configuration (two or three lanes) to minimize wetland impacts.
"We are pleased to reach the conclusion of this important study and look forward to working with the Transportation Commission and legislators on identifying resources to continue to improve this corridor," UDOT Project Manager Mike Miles said.
UDOT has spent about $110 million since 1996 on improvements to US 6 in the study area and another $50 million will be spent on several key projects over the next three years.
Some of those projects include: Reconstruction of a bridge at milepost 200 near Skyview; additional passing lanes between and Scofield Junction to Pine Tree Park (about milepost 215-220); widen the road and straighten a curve near the Tucker Rest Area; and construction of an Interchange in Helper.
More information about the EIS and projects on the corridor can be found at www.udot.utah.gov/us6. In addition to the Web site, the ROD will be available at the following locations for review: College of Eastern Utah Library, Price City Public Library, Spanish Fork Public Library, Helper City Library and Green River City Library.

The Crossroads of the Aether
It isn't often I write a review on something like this. Generally in a new event for an area, I leave a little bemused, and sometimes a little disappointed. All too often there is a weak attempt at fitting a new area into a nationwide series of events, and it falls flat because the arrangers didnt check ahead and make things fit to everyone else.
The Steampunk Empire Symposium in Cincinnati is one of the best startup events I have ever seen. The panels and discussions were excellently put together, There were things for all ages and members of a family, The staff running the event were friendly, helpful at all times, and knew what they were about. The schedule of activities ONLY isue was that I could not cover multiple panels or activities at the same time.
I saw regulars from other conventions and gatherings, and they fit right into the game. The overall community (convention goers) were dressed in many different styles of period garb, and the blend was all at once eclectic, ecstatic, and exuberant. Everywhere I looked, people were happy, and having a great amount of fun.
And finally, though the Vendor Area was a bit less than at longer running setups, the selection was fair, and the prices decent.
The only drawback was the Hotel itself. It seemed to me that the hotel was not in the best shape, and the staff didnt know how to handle so many people. Considering the success of the event, I foresee a much larger gathering next time around, and a much larger (and better repaired) facility to be in the offing,
Noting that the Hotel is by no means any fault of Master Fox or the symposium, I grade the Symposium FIVE STARS out of four. Magnificent job.

I wholeheartedly concur with your excellent review, good Sir. It was a fabulously fun and exhausting weekend!
I too wholeheartedly concur with all of your points. Huzzah! to Aloysius Fox and crew for a splendid event. The event exceeded our expectations and we look forward to the next one at an even better venue. Good show!
I MUST agree with the nitpicking. It was actually in Elizabethan times that Bathing was frowned upon (and for a little while thereafter). This was due to puritan influences in both the protestant religions, and the Catholic main. The idea was that exposing the body for ANY reason was both sinful and inviting sin to happen. One must wonder how the caucasion folks managed to keep a population, as they were the only part of the world really to view such ideas as static normalcy. HOWEVER, in Victorian times, Bathing was quite normal.
This was the first Steampunk event my husband and I have attended. The hotel was not the greatest but far from the worst I have ever stayed in. The hotel staff was friendly but completely unprepared for the number of guests. The panels were fun and all the venders were friendly and had some beautiful works of art.
Over all it was a great weekend and a great start to my Steampunk adventures.
Completely delightful weekend! I would add to your critique on the panels that they seemed to either be overloaded or under planned as I was either having to decide between 2 or 3 wonderful panels/activities or sitting around waiting for something to start - maybe more half hour segments for the next one?
Also - while I thoroughly enjoyed the Deadly Sins Burlesque - don't schedule it against the ball!!! I didn't get as much time on the dance floor as I would have liked as the Burlesque started late and had several other delays during the show.
These are deep nitpicks - I had a wonderful time and I look forward to next year!
I must agree with the scheduling issue with the burlesque. Wife and I both won tickets, gave one set away, and attended the burlesque. We skipped out at the first intermission however, becausae the Ball was the priority.
I'm curious to know why there were a limited number of seats available for the Burlesque show? It seemed the theater could accommodate more people.
This is a well written review of this fine event. My lady, Steampunkonista and I enjoyed the event very much. The team that put on this event deserve a lot of credit for putting on such a fine event.
Well done
Ian Rumbles
I have to agree. This was my first official Steampunk event and I was not disappointed. I was not sure what to expect, but I was very pleased by the turn out, the events, the panels, and the beautiful clothing. It was very well done. My congratulations to the organizers. I look forward to the next one!
I am really glad that so many people had a good time. I will be saving all my pennies to go next year, and plan things far far in advance. If all ya'll's comments are anything to go by, I am sure that next year it will be even better and even more fun!
Yes! Great review. It was my first Steampunk event to attend and it was good fun with very nice people! I look forward to seeing many new friends at Teslacon!

Often travel in groups (would be close to an "Old Soul") Called naive, curious but could cleverly talk a "Childlike" into doing things that they may fear.
You probably hear, your such a babe a lot . . . it may or may not be the reason you think!
Mature: Low to mid level mature points probably means you have a playful yet immature mannerisms.
Young: With your higher reasoning score, this makes you more youthful than being a 'baby' but you still want your way.
Reasonable: Having the higher score here show you CAN behave when necessary ... when you so choose.
Outrageous: This show a high spirited and fun loving more-so than being obnoxious and rude. -- GO YOU --
[YOUR "AGE" GROUPING] Young Adult: You are at the age that you hang on to your mothers apron strings one moment, then testing the waters by jumping in head first the next! You have some life's lessons to learn yet, but you are slowly taking baby steps down that road of life!
Match made in heaven: Ideally, an "Old Soul" but not its unheard of a "Babe" and an Infant hooking up.
"Vote, then click here for your match!"
100-80: Not so good (yet not bad) *just means you are not immature*.
80-60: Best . . . You know a good time, yet still responsible.* just got enough playful left in you to make it interesting.
60-40: Again rowdy, but some what annoying ... Could be a lot of fun! (but - in small doses.)

September 18 2013 01:38PM
We returned late last night from a jaunty jaunt to Las Vegas. We locked eyes with Joe Jonas, slapped hands with Enrique Iglesias and stood 5 feet away from a grumpy looking Lil Jon. To say that it was the experience of a lifetime is an understatement.
So we are just getting our head wrapped around the recent renovations that Coach Eakins made to the dressing room Chez Oil. Old news to you perhaps but to a level 156 fanboy still floating in celebrity sighting heaven it's news over here.
So said the Oilers Website a few days back:
No more does the hockey rink with the old copper and blue Oilers logo cover the carpet in the center of the room. The 'Once an Oiler, Always an Oiler' wall has been removed as well, adding to the list of alterations to the dressing room at Rexall Place.
"I think when a coach takes over he needs to change things in the room just for the sake of changing them sometimes," said Eakins. "With that being said, when I went through it I have a vision for our dressing room. Believe me, we're not done in there yet.
"We were under the gun just to get what we have done so far. Each day, more will be added. First and foremost, we wanted to brighten it up a little bit... We have moved some pictures and plaques and we're going to put them out for our fans to enjoy."
Whoa whoa whoa. Eakins has a vision for the design of the Oilers dressing room? Who does this guy think he is Antoni Gaudi? Does dressing room decor fall under the responsibilities list of an NHL head coach job posting? Does he have a vision for the pregame show too? Does his ambitious approach to the game know no bounds?
We cannot recall a coach in the history of the game of hockey - one with nary an NHL game on the bench under his belt - make so many changes in such a short span of time. At the same time Eakins manages to acknowledge that us Oilers fans exist and put the memorabilia on display for us to look at. Shouldn't he be taking us for granted and offhandedly reminding us that you can pre-purchase mini packs for 2023 starting on Monday?
Yes this Dallas Eakins is certainly making some waves isn't he.
It's great that Eakins is grabbing a broom and chasing the ghosts of TBOTB out of the dressing room at Rexall Place. As anyone with more than a passing interest in the team can tell you the Oil have been using the 80s as a crutch for far too long. Refusing to refer to the team as a "young team" anymore is incredible too.
It seems as though this guy wants to win and wants to win immediately and changing the culture of the room requires an immediate series of deliberate steps. Waiting and assessing can only prolong a torturous process as we have all witnessed in watching the office of the General Manager these past few seasons.
What the heck is wrong with a plaque that reads "once an Oiler always an Oiler" hanging in the dressing room? We can't help but wonder what Lowe, MacT and Co think about all these changes and breaks with tradition before a single regular season game has been played. The original #4 still points to his Cup rings as a player as a testament to his success as a GM for heaven's sakes.
That doesn't strike us as the kind of boss that wants all evidence of his earlier dominance put out to pasture in the concourse of the arena for us rabble to stare at open mouthed while we line up for $1000 beers.
Is Eakins right to renovate the dressing room within an inch of it's life? Is this overkill or a necessary part of the rebuild which has now officially kicked into high gear.
Holler at your boy in the comments will you?

Watching tonight batman??????
No sorry, didn't get to see it.
My wife was feeling a little frisky and couldn't wrap things up till close to midnight. Not sure, but i think she broke my nose. What was the final score?

This reminds me of how the new girlfriend immediately "demanded" I had to get rid of my ex girlfriend's pictures, toothbrush and hair clippings even though I still remember her fondly after all these years.
HAHA Just kidding. There is no new girlfriend to make me stop living in the past. *sobs inconsolably*
September 18 2013, 05:40PM
A man with hair that perfect obviously has a keen eye for aesthetic. Ryan Jones better cut that hair, and Joensuu better fix that mug of his if they want to get any playing time.
September 19 2013, 12:33PM
The dressing room needed the Ghosts of yesterday removed, Eakins did what should of been done years ago. If we need to relive the past and trump our rivals, all anyone has to do is go out to the ice, look up. That's legacy.
I don't entirely disagree. I just think that Eakins may not have been the right guy to do it. At least not this early in his tenure.
It would have been much better if MacT and Klowe had done it (and done it years ago)
September 20 2013, 08:10AM
Dwelling in the past will not bring us a championship team. True Eakins hasn't proved anything yet, but give him time, let him put his mark on this Oilers team! Make sense so far anyway, Go Oil Go!!!

"These shoes run true to size and are somewhat wide. You must wear thick socks or they may bend by the toe part. But other then that they are very comfy & look like expensive."

"These shoes seem to run about average on size for a 10. Sometimes I have issues with shoes rubbing on the side of my toes, and these seem to fit okay through that area. Two downsides: The yellow color is more of a muted yellow - in fact, the yellow that is inside the shoe is closer to what I would have liked the shoe to be. Second, even though there is elastic at the ankles, the top of the shoe rubs uncomfortably right at my ankles. I'll have to wear these with tights or higher-cut socks to make them more comfortable."

"My experience is different than the other reviewers. I found the bootie to run VERY small, possibly a full size. It also seems flimsy in construction, these may have a short life. Maybe I just got an odd pair...? They're pretty cute, so I hope they work out. Anyway, they're being exchanged. So maybe I'll do an update review..."

Almost but not quite
"Loved everything except the organizational factor, only one rather small zipper pocket on one side of the bag and nothing else. Every bag by every other manufacturer includes two extra slip pockets for a phone etc on one side of the bag, and the zipper pocket on the other side, but not Deux Lux! Very strange, returned it for that reason alone."

Last weekend, I had a trip with my family and took many precious photos with my Canon digital camera. However, as I tried to upload them all to my computer, a message popped out and asked me to format it at first. I don't want to format this camera since the formatting process will also wipe out all my taken photos. Can you help me? Do you have any way for me to save these precious photos back?
Thank you in advance!

Sam Warburton will be looking to lift the Triple Crown on Twickenham soil when Wales meet rivals England in the Six Nations on Saturday.
Sam Warburton will be looking to lift the Triple Crown on Twickenham soil when Wales meet a new-look England XV in the Six Nations this Saturday.
Warren Gatland's charges have unsurprisingly been installed as favourites for this round three meeting, but those odds have slimmed of late. Reasoning for this is largely down to starting shirts handed to four Englishmen, one docking (had to) at centre, the others at lock, nine and a Scarlet taking over from Phil Dowson at eight.
Furthermore, the prospect of playing at a venue where England have lost only once to the Welsh in 23 years also leads to many seeing a tight one.
Had this been two weeks ago then the majority would predict one winner but there is just a smattering of the unknown associated with this English line-up, which of course conversely begs the question of whether this is just another one of those infamous 'false dawns'. We wait, although selection is correct from coach Stuart Lancaster.
Lee Dickson has more than earned his jersey after being the catalyst for the lift in tempo against the Azzurri. Meanwhile, Ben Morgan was strong off the bench and Manu Tuilagi seemingly showed enough against Saracens to warrant his selection. Toby Flood's non-drop-goal might have cost him a start. Flood does do enough to get in on the bench though due to Charlie Hodgson suffering a cut hand.
But this will be the acid test for England after facing the lower-ranked Scotland and Italy thus far. Wales are definitely a different kettle of fish. What the visitors possess is the ability to turn a game when they want to, unlike a few years ago when they seemed more to hope that a game would open up. Today they have a calmness and confidence in their own and each other's game that is great to see, which is why a March 17 finale with France is asterisked.
A second victory at Twickenham since 1988 would keep Wales in contention for that Grand Slam and build on the promise of fourth spot at the 2011 World Cup. While we are on the statistics, here are a few more to turn the cogs upstairs: the countries have met on 122 occasions – England lead the series 56-54, with 12 draws; Wales will secure their 20th Five or Six Nations Championship Triple Crown if they beat England on Saturday; when Wales last defeated England at Twickenham – Warren Gatland's first fixture as head coach – they progressed to claim the 2008 Six Nations Championship title and clinched a Grand Slam.
Meant to be?
It will depend on a few areas, one having been selection. While being a fan of what Hodgson has done since moving to Saracens, adding to his impeccable distributive skills with a sturdier approach, Owen Farrell's shift to fly-half is a positive one for England. Why? Well I feel they would not win an expansive battle with their settled opponents. Furthermore the physicality of a midfield combination of Brad Barritt alongside Tuilagi was needed against messieurs Jamie Roberts and Jonathan Davies – two of the top midfield men in world rugby right now – and with Farrell a solid defender on the inside, expect both sides to struggle to break through impressive defensive walls in the centre-field at Twickenham.
This could well be a battle around the fringes and in the air as Wales would have taken note of Ben Foden's mistakes in Rome and told Rhys Priestland to pepper the Saint early on. Priestland will also utilise those two wings in the shape of George North and Alex Cuthbert, who have so far offered a whole lot more than England's Chris Ashton and David Strettle.
A lot will once again rest on the shoulders of the youthful Farrell though – not just from the tee – as he prepares for his first full Test appearance at Twickenham in a cool manner.
"I've always wanted to work the game out and be a person who guides a team," he said, having this week been compared to a young Jonny Wilkinson by Wales legend Neil Jenkins.
"It's just a step in one position (from inside centre to fly-half). You do have responsibility but you've got some unbelievable players around you, not just here but at Saracens."
However, Wales will be nothing like he and England have faced.
Ones to watch:
For England: The four newcomers of course. Manu Tuilagi will offer something fresh to the Red Rose than they have had over the opening two rounds while Lee Dickson is brought in to help speed things up at the base behind Ben Morgan. England also sacrifice a dollop of weight in their lock department as Tom Palmer goes for Geoff Parling, which is a bold move from Stuart Lancaster. Parling is a clever rugby player and one that has performed strongly for Leicester since coming back from injury, deserving his bench spot and now a start.
For Wales: Saturday heralds the return of the king for Wales as Sam Warburton slips back into his number seven jersey in place of Aaron Shingler. Credit where credit is due, Shingler was superb in stepping up at the eleventh hour against Scotland but he must now settle for a spot on the Scarlets' bench as Warburton assumes the captaincy. In what is a formidable and balanced back-row, Wales will hope for a repeat performance from Dan Lydiate and further back the form of centre Jonathan Davies is also worth keeping an eye on.
Head-to-head: I'm most looking forward to the battle between Dan Cole and Gethin Jenkins. The duo are arguably the British and Irish Lions number three and one if they were to run out against the Wallabies tomorrow (yes, Cian Healy may have something to say about that). Elsewhere and there has yet to be this kind of pressure on Chris Ashton's performance and it has to be said that he can count himself somewhat lucky that Charlie Sharples hasn't remained injury free. His personal battle with fellow wing roamer Alex Cuthbert should be interesting, particularly as the Welshman has found good form.
Recent results:
2011: Wales won 19-9 in Cardiff
2011: England won 23-19 in London
2011: England won 26-19 in Cardiff
2010: England won 30-17 in London

2003: England won 28-17 in Brisbane
2003: England won 43-9 in Cardiff

Prediction: Because of ability to dictate games on their own terms, Wales by 6!
The teams:
England: 15 Ben Foden, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Manusamoa Tuilagi, 12 Brad Barritt, 11 David Strettle, 10 Owen Farrell, 9 Lee Dickson, 8 Ben Morgan, 7 Chris Robshaw (capt), 6 Tom Croft, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Mouritz Botha, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Dylan Hartley, 1 Alex Corbisiero.

This set of three videos illustrates how math is used in satellite data analysis. NASA climate scientist Claire Parkinson explains how the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice covers are measured from satellite data and how math is used to determine trends... (View More) in the data. In the first video, she leads viewers from satellite data collection through obtaining a time series of monthly Arctic and Antarctic average sea ice extents for November 1978-December 2012. In the second video, she begins with the time series from the first video, removes the seasonal cycle by calculating yearly averages, and proceeds to calculate the slopes of the lines to get trends in the data, revealing decreasing sea ice coverage in the Arctic and increasing sea ice coverage in the Antarctic. In the third video, she uses a more advanced technique to remove the seasonal cycle and shows that the trends are close to the same, whichever method is used. She emphasizes the power of math and that the techniques shown for satellite sea ice data can also be applied to a wide range of data sets. Note: See Related & Supplemental Resources for the maps and data files (1978-2015) that will allow you to do the calculations shown in the video. These also include data for different regions of the Arctic and Antarctic, enabling learners to do additional calculations beyond those shown in the videos. (View Less)
