Matthews and crew pushed Bush administration's terminology on Social Security privatization
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
On the February 2 edition of MSNBC's Hardball preceding President Bush's State of the Union address, host Chris Matthews adopted President Bush's preferred terminology for his plans to partially privatize Social Security by referring* to "personal accounts," rather than "private accounts" or "privatization." After stumbling on the previous evening's Hardball and acquiescing to the Bush administration's pressure on the media to abandon the term "private accounts" in favor of "personal accounts," Matthews spoke again of "personal accounts" on at least four separate occasions, and NBC White House correspondent David Gregory also used the term. Later, Newsweek chief political correspondent Howard Fineman stated that Democrats "refuse to call it 'personal accounts' -- for them it's always 'private accounts.'"
But Republicans used to call their plans to privatize Social Security "privatization" and "private accounts," too. As Washington Post staff writers Michael A. Fletcher and Jim VandeHei reminded Bush in a January 15 interview, he too previously referred to his administration's Social Security plans as "partial privatization." And "privatize" was also the word of choice for the Cato Institute, one of the leading advocates of privatization, when it launched its "Project on Social Security Privatization" in 1995. Cato has since changed the name of its plan to the "Project on Social Security Choice," as The Washington Post noted. The Columbia Journalism Review's CJR Daily observed on January 25 that "both Republicans and Democrats are aware that the phrase 'personal accounts' polls better than the phrase 'private accounts.'"
*Correction: When this item was first published, it incorrectly stated that Matthews "exclusively" referred to "personal accounts." In fact, Matthews referred to "personal accounts" five times on Hardball and "private accounts" twice. In one of those instances, Matthews referred to "private accounts" in describing the terminology used by the Democrats' "politics of fear." Matthews referred exclusively to "personal accounts" in his post-State of the Union coverage.

Council of Europe Anti-Racism Commission visits Spain
Strasbourg, 30.03.2010 - A delegation of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) visited Spain from 22 to 26 March 2010. During its visit, ECRI´s delegation gathered information on the implementation of the recommendations it made to the authorities in its 2005 report and discussed new issues that have emerged since.
The delegation held meetings in Barcelona and Madrid with representatives of all relevant ministries, public officials and human rights NGOs.
Following this visit, ECRI will adopt a report in which it will make a fresh set of recommendations on measures to be taken by the authorities to address racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in the country. Among these, three will be revisited in two years' time as part of an interim follow-up procedure.
In its 2005 report, ECRI had found that the lack of awareness of issues of racism and racial discrimination across society had a negative effect on the way institutions responded to these phenomena. In ECRI's view, racial discrimination in a wide range of areas, including employment, housing and access to public places still affected the daily lives of members of ethnic minority groups, including Roma, North Africans, people from sub-Saharan Africa and South Americans. ECRI also said that racial and xenophobic violence still needed to be adequately recognised and countered.
ECRI is an independent human rights body of the Council of Europe which monitors problems of racism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States. For more information on ECRI: www.coe.int/ecri

Having a phone is nice, but its terrible when youre sleeping at night and you get that random text message or phone call when you forget to enable the mute switch. A new jailbreak tweak dubbed iSleepWell by iOS developer Xvolks brings us a way to keep the iPhone from ringing, or even vibrating for that matter while we are sleeping and the iPhone is sitting near us at night.
The tweak takes full advantage of the iPhones accelerometer to determine if the iPhone is face up or face down. When you place the iPhone face down, the iPhone will then enter Airplane Mode. This turns all of the iPhones radios off and therefore keeps all phone calls, text messages, and other internet-based notifications away while you are sleeping. You can technically use the tweak whenever you want to not only when sleeping. iSleepWell comes with a preferences pane in the Settings application when you install it:
From the preferences pane, you have all these options:
- enable or disable the tweak on demand
- play a sound alerting you when iSleepWell activates and deactivates
- make the iPhone vibrate when iSleepWell activates and deactivates
- change orientation-check interval to:
- 5 seconds
- 10 seconds
- 15 seconds
- 30 seconds
- change sensitivity to:
- 0% (makes activating iSleepWell easy)
- 10-40%
- 50% (default)
- 60-80%
- 90% (makes activating iSleepWell hard)
- ability to activate iSleepWell when you place the iPhone face down
- ability to activate iSleepWell whenever the iPhone is in sleep mode
- ability to disable iSleepWell on manual Airplane Mode invoke
- ability to activate iSleepWell when you start charging the iDevice
- enable or disable syslog debugging
If youre using an iPhone (iSleepWell works with the iPod touch as well, but has not been tested on iPad) then having the silent switch placed in the mute position means iSleepWell will not give you any sound alerts only vibrate. If you have the silent switch on ring, then iSleepWell will literally say, Airplane Mode, or Phone is now active. The vibrate feature is not supported on the iPad or iPod touch, so it assumes voice alerts unless you disable them from the preferences pane.
If you bought iSleepWell before just a few hours ago, then you'll have noticed the recent version 1.1.1 update, which includes some new features. The enable while charging feature is new and a bug was fixed dealing with the sensitivity settings.
If youre one of the many people around the world valuing your limited sleep hours every night, then you may want to check out iSleepWell for your iDevice. Not only will it prevent unwanted noise when youre sleeping, however it can keep your phone quiet under office conditions or classroom conditions as well. The tweak seems to work great as far as our own testing with it went. I could definitely recommend it.
Name: iSleepWell
Price: 99¢
Version: 1.1.1

When researching our family roots, we tend to look in the typical places. Census reports, ancestry.com, libraries and oral histories from your family members are the best sources for building a foundation. But how do you add flavor to your research and how do you illustrate the lives our ancestors lived? Looking at the non-typical places can be a needle in a haystack, but it can bring a pleasant surprise.
One of our member's mother was recently touring the Texas Energy Museum and discovered a photo of her grandfather. Imagine walking by photos and seeing a photo of your grandfather hanging on a wall. The photo was of men working on an oil rig and there was Grandpa Tom right in the middle. What a great surprise and a wonderful image of seeing your grandfather in his youth.
Some ideas where you might find your Great Grandpa
- Libraries with manuscript collections – For example, the Library of Virginia has a large collection of personal and random items. Not scanned, but an amazing collection to visit.
- Small and state historical societies – A lot of these collections are getting bigger as people are sharing personal items and photos.
- National Archives – Records, maps and photography.
- The Texas Energy Museum has photos available on CD.
Keep your eyes open, you never know what you'll find.
*Please remember most images are copyrighted and some are public domain, so always ask before using.

Track and field for adults
For people who grew up playing soccer, baseball, or basketball there are usually plenty of opportunities to continue these sports through adulthood. Think intramural or office soccer clubs, church softball leagues, and neighborhood pickup basketball games.
If you were a hurdler or other track and field athlete in high school, though, you may assume that your days of competing ended with graduation. Sure, you can do 5k races and marathons but that's a huge distance leap if you were a sprinter – and not at all related to your sport if you were a javelin thrower or pole vaulter. So it's not surprising that many track and field athletes never compete in their sport again.
But that doesn't have to be the case if you're over age 30. Masters track and field gives you the chance to relive your glory days.
Masters track and field: 101
Masters track and field involves the same events you remember from high school or watch during the Olympic Games. The only difference is masters track and field is for men and women from age 30 – 95+, and consists of beginners and seasoned athletes alike.
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, the USA track and field masters organization says joining a master's track and field club may be for you:
· Are you looking for a way to get fit or lose weight?
· Do you enjoy watching track and field events on television?
· Did you participate in track and field as a child and miss it?
· Do you want to renew your competitive spirit?
The events
To participate in masters track and field, you need to join a local club. Through the club membership, you'll gain access to group training and coaching, facilities, and track meets. During meets, you'll compete against other athletes your age – just like you did in high school. Every year, the best athletes from all masters track and field clubs in the U.S. go on to compete in the USA Masters Track & Field Championships.
There are a host of events to choose from — some are only offered during indoor or outdoor track season, while others are offered during both seasons. Many athletes compete in more than one of the following events:
· Sprints: 60m, 100m, 200m, and 400m dashes
· Middle-distance: 800m and 1500m
· Long-distance: 5000m and 10,000m
· Hurdles: 60m, 100m, 110m, and 400m hurdles and 3000m steeplechase
· Relays: 4x100m and 4x400m relays
· Jumps: Long jump, high jump, triple jump, and pole vault
· Throws: Shot put, discus throw, javelin throw, and hammer throw
· Combined events:
– Pentathlon: 800m, 60m hurdles, long jump, high jump, and shot put.
– Heptathlon: 60m, 1000m, 60m hurdles, long jump, high jump, pole vault, and shot put.
– Decathlon: 100m, 400m, 1500m, 110m hurdles, long jump, high jump, pole vault, shot put, discus throw, and javelin throw.
How to get involved
There are local masters track and field clubs all around the country. To find one in your area, check out the USA Track & Field's (USATF) website.
Try not to feel intimidated if you've never done track and field before or if it's been a few decades since you last competed. Many masters track and field athletes are first timers looking to participate in a fun hobby, just like you. If you're still on the fence about joining a club, spectate a meet in person. It may be just the motivation you need to dust off your old track spikes!

New Numbers On Health Care Exchange In NY
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) _ New York's health exchange has already received 174,000 completed applications for new insurance coverage starting next year, accounting for a large share of initial signups nationally under the Affordable Care Act.
Obama administration officials have said about 500,000 applications have been filed through federal and state exchanges since they launched three weeks ago with some systems plagued by technical problems. But they haven't said how many people have managed to enroll.
In California, officials say 126,000 people have started applications but won't release figures on completed applications or enrollments until mid-November.
New York addressed initial website problems by quadrupling capacity on the marketplace that includes low-cost plans and possible government subsidies. It says Wednesday that 37,030 New Yorkers have completed the process and fully enrolled with individual insurers.

I had a great hunt with Gene and Dan from MI last week. 3 mornings of hunting produced 5 nice adult toms. Great guys that made for a great hunt.
This is Genes 2nd bird that he shot. Took us about an hour to suck him away from the main group of birds
This is right after I dumped my bird, its in the grass to the right of the live tom. We got this one about 10 min after the one in the first vid

Just posting my official hello to TDH. After some encouragement and love from fellow TDH members (and surprisingly a couple of my non star war fan friends) I'm completely dedicated to making my femme Boba Fett come to life. (thanks guys ) I have the lofty aspiration of finishing my costume to showcase at Celebration VI. Although from what I am reading on the boards, it seems you are never completely done with your boba fett costume. lol. I've already got together my materials for making my flight suit, time permitting I will start cutting out fabric tonight. Hope to have some great progress to show in the next couple of months! Wish me luck!!! I couldn't be more excited. :D

CHAPEL HILL - The University of North Carolina will play home-and-home men's basketball series next year with ACC newcomer Notre Dame and Wake Forest in addition to primary partners Duke and NC State, the ACC released on Tuesday.
The 2013-14 men's basketball season will be the second in which ACC teams play 18 conference games and the first in which Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Syracuse will be members of the ACC.
Each of the 15 ACC schools will play four opponents twice and 10 opponents one time.
The Tar Heels will play host to Boston College, Clemson, Maryland, Miami and Pittsburgh and travel to Florida State, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Virginia and Virginia Tech.
Carolina and Wake Forest will be playing home-and-home for just the second time in the last seven years (also in 2010).
The Tar Heels will play at Notre Dame for the fifth time in history and the first time since Feb. 23, 1994. UNC is 3-1 against Notre Dame in South Bend, including a 1985 win over the Irish in the NCAA Tournament. Carolina has won 16 of 20 games overall in the series with the most recent game coming in the championship of the Maui Invitational early in 2008-09. UNC is 2-0 against Notre Dame in Chapel Hill, beating the Irish in the Smith Center on Jan. 26, 1986, and on Feb. 23, 1993.
UNC is 4-3 overall against Syracuse and 1-0 against the Orange in Syracuse. Coach Dean Smith led the number one ranked Tar Heels to an 87-64 win in the Carrier Dome on Dec. 10, 1983. The two teams have not met since Nov. 20, 2009, when Syracuse beat UNC, 87-71, in Madison Square Garden in the finals of Coaches vs. Cancer.
Pittsburgh will be making its fourth trip to Chapel Hill. Carolina leads the series, 7-1, including 3-0 at home. The Tar Heels have defeated the Panthers at home on Dec. 2, 1972, Nov. 29, 1994, and Nov. 29, 1996, the latter two of which were played in the Smith Center. This is the first meeting between the two schools since the 1996 game, an 82-61 UNC victory.
The ACC will release dates and times of the conference games and non-ACC games later in the summer.

Science can answer moral questions
Questions of good and evil, right and wrong are commonly thought unanswerable by science. But Sam Harris argues that science can — and should — be an authority on moral issues, shaping human values and setting out what constitutes a good life.

Several recent reports on Forrester.com start with the sentence: "EA organizations often toil out of the limelight . . . " There are fewer and fewer reasons why this should be the case.
We hear fewer stories of EA teams as purely "the standards police" or with "their heads in the clouds, not producing anything useful." We hear more and more stories of EA teams changing how business and IT plan, taking the lead in application simplification and rationalization, or being the broker for innovation. Infoworld and Forrester want to recognize these success stories with the 2011 Enterprise Architecture Award.
Our 2010 Award winners show the range of ways EA teams are making a difference:

Soil, water, and greenhouse-gas impacts of alternative biomass cropping systems [abstract]. American Geophysical Union. San Francisco, CA, December 13-17, 2010. Abstract B22D-04. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Through the 2008 Energy Independence and Security Act and other state and federal mandates, the U.S. is embarking on an aggressive agenda to reduce dependency on fossil fuels. While grain-derived ethanol will be used to largely meet initial renewable fuels targets, advanced biofuels derived from lignocellulosic materials are expected to comprise a growing proportion of the renewable energy portfolio and provide a more sustainable solution. As part of our interdisciplinary research, we are assessing the environmental impacts of four lignocellulosic biomass cropping systems and comparing them to a conventional corn cropping system. This comparison is conducted using a randomized, replicated experiment initiated in fall 2008, which compares the five cropping systems across a toposequence (i.e., floodplain, toeslope, backslope, shoulder, summit). In addition to assessing herbaceous and woody biomass yields, we are evaluating the environmental performance of these systems through changes in water quality, greenhouse-gas emissions, and carbon pools. Initial results document baseline soil parameters, including the capacity of the soils to sequester carbon across the toposequence, and the impacts of landscape heterogeneity and cropping system on soil moisture and nitrate-nitrogen levels in the vadose zone. Additional results on greenhouse-gas emissions and carbon dynamics are forthcoming from this year's field research. The fuller understanding of the environmental performance of these systems will help inform federal and state policies seeking to incentivize the development of a sustainable bioenergy industry.

The New 1000AD Game: A Beginners Experience
The New 1000AD game is a free online strategy game that aims to challenge players in a number of different skills, testing their planning and tactical abilities against those of other players. The historical time frame is, as the name suggests, the year AD 1000.
There are two variations of the game you can play. The first gives you all the time you need to build, plan, strategize and form alliances. In this variation your turn comes around every nine minutes. The second one, called Blitz, is very time constrained. In other words, it tests your abilities to make quick tactical decisions. Your turn comes around every three minutes.
As a beginner, your first step is to familiarize yourself with the menu at the top of the page. The next step is to go to the game basics and get a good overview of what the game is, its objectives, and how it is played. For your first game it makes sense to start with the slower variation, while you accustom yourself to planning and playing.
You have a choice of building up a civilization of Vikings, Byzantines, Chinese, Japanese, Zulu, Barbarians, Incas, Franks, Turks or Mongols. You need to find out the advantages and disadvantages associated with each civilization, before you decide.
Then, what may be a good idea, is to print out the tips that are given, and keep them handy while you play.
As with many of the most popular strategy games, building up an economy and an empire is the foundation of the game. Warring, attacking and defending, come a little later on, when you start competing with other players and looking to expand.
Where you skill in strategizing comes into play is when you begin to know your opponents and try to anticipate their actions. At the same time you get an insight into your own vulnerabilities and try and strengthen the weak places.
All this is linked to making advantageous alliances. You have to do this with the foresight that these will lead to your mutual benefit. Both you and they accomplish this by strengthening your economies and fighting off opponents that show signs of becoming a threat to you and your alliance partners.
At the same time you have to keep your edge on the balance of power between you and your allies so they dont grow too strong in turn and become a danger to you.
When you start the basics of the game you quickly come to realize that land equals power. This is not as easy as it sounds. You get three types of land: mountains, forests and plains. Only certain types of buildings are permitted on certain types of land. So you have to juggle the buildings you want with the land you need, all the time aware that your opponents may be after the same goals as you!
There are currencies such as gold, wood, iron and food. The last three are used for swapping/trading. Gold is expensive and you have to weigh up whether it is not more to your advantage to swap/trade than to invest in gold mines.
How skillful you are in structuring your population, economy and the trading market, your buildings, your army and your attack/defense tactics decides how highly you rank in the game.
After you have tried out the game, you might like to read the blogs and join the chat rooms to get further tips and ideas, and make new friends.
And last, but definitely not least, you need to know that this game is cool, great, awesome fun!

Director Stephen Frears (High Fidelity, The Queen) reunites with screenwriter D.V. DeVincentis to tell the seriocomic story of a kindhearted Florida stripper who becomes a cocktail waitress in Las Vegas, but finds her luck running out after befriending a professional sports gambler with a jealous wife. Convinced that there's more to life than peeling off skimpy outfits for leering bar patrons, exotic dancer Beth Raymer (Rebecca Hall) opts to try her luck as a cocktail waitress in Las Vegas, and quickly makes the acquaintance of Dink (Bruce Willis) -- a man with a talent for making quick cash on winning sports teams. When Dink hires Beth to place wagers at multiple casinos, they quickly discover she's got a knack for numbers, and form a lucrative partnership. But all good things must come to an end, and when Dink's jealous wife Tulip (Catherine Zeta-Jones) catches wind of the relationship she insists that her husband fire his new good-luck charm immediately. Dejected, Beth takes flight to New York, where her winning streak comes to a sudden end after she goes to work for a shady bookie. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

My 3rd time in Diamond promos... One game till diamond (I've already been 1 game from Diamond in season 3 and 4 - maybe this time I can win one out of the next three games)!!
Yasuo destroys in Urf if you focus on a team with knock ups since ult is on a 6 second cooldown. I won a game like that yesterday. I pretty much did nothing but waited for set-ups. Had a Malphite, Zyra, and Wukong on my team and did nothing but ult all day and everything just died. Oh and spamming wind wall destroys every spammy champion.
Leona/Morgana. they are ****in hilarious on URF. especially leona. just stunlock them
MiguelKaleidoscope Dream
Eh, I prefer the TPA skins more imo. Hopefully they atleast have some kind of particle effects considering it seems Riot cares to some extent to milk this kind of deal.
The SKT skins look like ass. Jax is ok, but Zed better look good to make up for the poor skins.
Jesus, I never really got down to play with Rengar's changes on the PBE and I'm glad I didn't because holy shit did they gut him hard. Like the only good thing they did out of it all was making his necklace into a trinket, past that like every other change more or less killed what made him an assassin like Kha'six.
Seju in URF LOL SO GUD!
Yeah, RIP assassin rengar and hello bruiser ._. is it me or they try and force a lot of assassins into that role?
Currently playing: FFXIV (Elucifer Arclight, Leviathan server), LoL (Trash Tier Waifu, NA server), SMITE (Zacewing)
Can't say I was expecting to ever see him again. Also I'm digging that idea of an ult for Fiora, even if its just random. It atleast makes her interesting.
Fiora's new prototye ult gives her URF mode for like 10 seconds.
Also by the sounds of this new Disengage ability...Fiora getting an escape, **** yeah
Currently playing: FFXIV (Elucifer Arclight, Leviathan server), LoL (Trash Tier Waifu, NA server), SMITE (Zacewing)
I'm not really impressed by the SKT skins. Don't think I'd get any~~
Also, I'm really hopeful for Fiora rework. The direction on her ult seems nice, I think it could work.
Of course, I'm predicting that she'll be heavily shut down by hard CC (like I said on how to counter Yasuo before he came out when some people were whining about his burst). Just need to see how her passive will work now, the regen passive is pretty boring~
they should definitely take pointers from this guy.
So, top laners are going to be buffed in general. Hopefully we'll see more than Renekton/Shyvana/Trundle top now...
The current picks are pretty stale so far (especially top and jungle). I hope they make more champs viable soon (tank junglers especially so we don't always need a tanky top)~
Also Candy your PM inbox is full ><
Well the new T3 item for wriggles should help with widening the champs in jungle. My friend who is D1 says he's seen someone play Kayle with Flare a few times and it's done pretty well, though still not enough time to truly tell where she sits.
URF mode is so fun, i'm loving it.
playing Eve in Urf no idea why shes not banned shes so OP
Because she can still be shut down easily.

On-track handle for the 102-day live meet was down 7% from last year, as was attendance. All-sources handle was up 11% on the strength of 13% growth in transmitted handle.
In 2007, Suffolk Downs bucked national trends with increases in live handle (14%) and attendance (22%). The partnership that owns Suffolk Downs has invested substantially in the facility and the racing product but the operation has not been profitable for the last several years.
The highlight of the meet was Commentator's victory in the 66th running of the $500,000 Massachusetts Handicap on September 20 before a crowd of 17,712. The MassCap was part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge "Win and You're In" Classic Division. According to his owner, Tracy Farmer, Commentator's presence in the MassCap was due, in part, to Suffolk Downs' groundbreaking zero-tolerance anti-slaughter policy that the track instituted under new ownership in 2007.
Winston Thompson bounced back from an injury-shortened 2007 campaign to capture his fourth Suffolk Downs riding title in five years and his fifth overall at the East Boston oval.
Thompson was the lone rider to top the century mark for the meet, recording 101 wins from 647 mounts (16%) to finish 11 wins ahead of David Amiss. Defending title-holder Tammi Piermarini was fifth with 63 wins.
"It was a lot of hard work," said Thompson. "I had to earn it. I just kept on working."
John Rigattieri continued his reign atop the trainer standings, earning his fifth consecutive title. Rigattieri saddled 66 winners from 295 starters (22%). Marcus Vitali was second with 45 wins.
Former Eclipse Award winner Michael Gill topped the owner standings for the fourth time with 42 wins, having last done it in 2005. Monarch Stables was second with 32 wins.

The University of St. Thomas was named a Best College in the West for 2013 by The Princeton Review in its annual college rankings. The Princeton Review recognizes colleges and universities that stand out within each region.
In the online profile, at www.PrincetonReview.com, students were able to voice their opinions about UST's campus culture and student body. One student commented on UST's close-knit community.
"Having grown up attending large public schools, there's something to be said for smaller schools, where you're not treated like a number but a real person. Each of my professors, advisors, etc., knew me personally before the end of my first semester. They are truly concerned with making sure that you fully understand the material and are getting the most out of your academic experience."
Another student commented on the inclusivity of the student body.
"We have commuters, homeschoolers, varsity players, introverts, perfectionists and clubbers, and they all interact quite well."
St. Thomas is also a part of The Princeton Review "The Best 377 Colleges – 2013 Edition" Guidebook, which is based on 122,000 student surveys.
"Each of our 377 best colleges offers outstanding academics," said Robert Franek, the book's author and The Princeton Review senior vice president/publisher. "We don't rank them 1 to 377, because they differ widely in their program offerings and campus culture, and that is their strength. Instead, we tally lists of the top 20 schools in 62 categories based entirely on what students at these schools tell us about their campus experiences. Our goal is not to crown one college 'best' overall, but to help applicants find and get in to the college best for them."

Mikel Arteta has brought experience and intelligence to the Arsenal midfield, according to Robin van Persie.
The captain's prolific scoring has earned him plenty of plaudits this season but Van Persie is the first to admit that Arsenal's recent resurgence has been a collective effort.
Arteta was a deadline-day signing from Everton in August and he has impressed the Dutch striker.
"What I really like at the moment is that you can see people stepping up a level and growing in confidence," Van Persie told the Official Matchday Programme. "I can really notice that around the team.
"For example, Mikel Arteta is playing really well. He's so intelligent. He knows when to go forward, he knows when to sit back. Sometimes Alex Song makes a run forward, and because of his experience, Mikel can read the game perfectly, knows when to go forward, when to help his team out, or when to play for others.
"Everyone can see he has grown into his role, and you can tell he has played many games in the Premier League."
You can subscribe to the Matchday Programme by calling 08700 20 20 20.

I made this video as a tribute to my Uncle George, who lost a leg at the Battle of the Bulge, serving as a combat medic.

The United States has enough natural gas reserves to be energy independent for 70-100 years, according to the Energy Information Administration, but energy companies can make a profit by selling the energy to Japan and China while buying cheaper energy from the Middle East.
As the nation struggles with energy dilemmas like energy independence, students in the University of St. Thomas environmental science course, Energy for the Future, explore the foundations of both conventional and renewable energy technologies in light of environmental stewardship.
With an awareness that there is no perfect energy source, Sister Damien Marie Savino, FSE, associate professor and chair of the Environmental Science and Studies Department teaches her students the pros and cons of each technology.
"We're trying to bring a reasonable voice to the energy debate," Sister Damien Marie said. "We'll have to use oil and gas technologies for a while, and we want to use them responsibly."
She brings in experts from energy companies to speak to her class.
"I want the students to have exposure to professionals in the field," she said. "This helps them to view energy questions realistically."
The class explores the future of energy – from renewables like solar, wind, biomass and geothermal, to conventional sources such as nuclear, oil, gas and coal. Sister Damien Marie also encourages her students to think critically about questions of energy independence, the viability of renewable sources, the pros and cons of such technologies as fracking and oil sands development, and how to meet national energy needs while also preserving the environment.
The Energy for the Future class is required for Environmental Science and Studies majors and is open to all UST students.
"Because we are a Catholic liberal arts university, we are able to consider energy issues from a holistic point of view that includes both technical and moral-ethical concerns. Indeed, the UST ESS program is unique in being able to consider not only energy but also food, water, toxic waste and other environmental issues in light of these interdisciplinary concerns," Sister Damien Marie said. The program also focuses on the unique dignity of the human person in creation as articulated in the Catholic intellectual tradition.
"While we're aware of the problems that humans have caused in relation to the environment, and of course encourage conversion away from patterns of excessive consumption or selfishness, for example, our emphasis is on the giftedness of the human person and the possibilities for humans to solve environmental problems," she said. "We encourage our students to grow in the creativity and entrepreneurship needed to develop real solutions."
Sister Damien Marie earned her doctorate in civil engineering and has two master's degrees, one in soil science and one in theology. Before coming to UST, she worked for 12 years as an environmental consultant on soil and groundwater remediation of contaminated sites.
The professor said Houston is booming with environmental opportunities.
"We have the oil and gas energy sector, and solar is growing, as is wind," she said. "With our proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, there are many environmental opportunities there. There is a wide range of environmental consulting firms and also a growing urban food movement, especially in Houston and Austin. The entrepreneurial spirit is so prevalent here."
Environmental science and studies students can use their degrees to pursue careers in the energy field, environmental consulting, soil, air and water remediation, environmental impact assessment, environmental health and safety, environmental law, conservation or environmental education. Alumni have pursued master's degrees and are working for government, industry and non-profits.
"One person can really make a difference," Sister Damien Marie said. "In my teaching I hope to contribute to UST's efforts to form our students into whole persons. If they're formed well, they can make a real difference in the world."
To learn more about a degree in environmental science or environmental studies at UST, email Sister Damien Marie at email@example.com or call 713-525-3894.

'The NHL's decision to adopt the Bandits makes sound economic sense since many of the Sabres' sponsorship deals include both the hockey and lacrosse teams. "The hockey team has the rights to run the building, and the hockey team owns the Bandits," Bettman said. "So that package is there."'

Green Bay Wraps Up Road Trip at Wisconsin on Wednesday Night
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Finishing a three-game road trip, the Green Bay men's basketball team visits the Kohl Center in Madison to face in-state foe Wisconsin on Wednesday night at 8:06 p.m. The Big Ten Network will provide live coverage of the game which will mark the third-straight season that the Phoenix has played at Wisconsin, who will visit the Resch Center in 2013-14.
Both teams will be looking to bounce back from road losses. The Phoenix returns to Wisconsin after a 74-68 loss at Tennessee Tech last Thursday night. Sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) scored 18 points and senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) added 17 points in the defeat. The Badgers fell on Saturday 60-50 at Marquette to fall to 6-4 on the season.
Sykes leads three Phoenix players averaging in double figures and is fifth in the Horizon League in scoring at 16 points per game. Four Badgers average 10 or more points per game, led by senior big man Jared Berggren's 14.3 scoring average.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Including the Big Ten Network broadcast, Phoenix fans will have numerous options to catch the action on Wednesday night. Kevin Kugler (play-by-play) and Mike Kelley (color analyst) will be on the call for the BTN beginning at 8 p.m. Fans can also catch a live radio broadcast on WDUZ The Fan 1400 AM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix, Matt Menzl, will be on the call with Cordero Barkley.
Live stats and live video will be available. You can also stay up-to-date on Twitter by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. ROAD TRIPPIN': Wednesday night's game is the last non-conference road game until a BracketBuster contest in February and ends a stretch of seven of nine games away from home to start the season. The Phoenix has played road games in five different states and traveled over 4,000 miles during a 35-day stretch with just one home game.
2. CHARITY CASE: The charity stripe has been kind to the Phoenix this season as Green Bay ranks second in the Horizon League and 29th nationally in free throw percentage (.759). The Phoenix has connected on 34 more made free throws than its opponents and has three of the top six free-throw shooters in the Horizon League. Junior Kam Cerroni (16-16, 1st), sophomore Keifer Sykes (35-40, 5th) and senior Brennan Cougill (23-27, 6th) are each shooting above 85 percent from the line.
3. OLD FOR 18: Sykes entered the 2012-13 season as a starting point guard and a team captain. He entered as a Preseason All-Horizon League Second-Team. He entered the year after a season in which he scored 335 points (most by a Phoenix freshman since Tony Bennett in 1988-89) and was named to the Horizon League All-Newcomer Team. Amazingly, he also entered as an 18-year old, and he will stay that way through the first 13 games of his sophomore campaign. After playing his first 13 games at age 17, Sykes is now averaging 15.1 in 25 games as an 18-year old.
• INSIDE THE SERIES: Wednesday will mark the 19th all-time meeting between Green Bay and Wisconsin, with the Badgers holding a 17-1 advantage overall and 15-0 in Madison. The two teams have played every year since 1999. Wisconsin is slated to visit the Resch Center in 2013-14. Brown has led the Phoenix in scoring against Wisconsin in each of his two seasons at Green Bay.
• FINALLY HOME: Green Bay, the lone Horizon League squad to have played just two home games, will finally return to the Resch Center on Saturday, hosting Southern Illinois at 7 p.m. The contest is a Festival Foods Family Game and the first 1,000 youth fans in attendance will receive a titanium necklace presented by Baylake Bank. The Phoenix game against the Salukis will kick off a four-game homestand with games against Marquette (Dec. 19), South Dakota (Dec. 22) and Illinois-Springfield (Dec. 30).
• FAST START FOR THE FROSH: Head coach Brian Wardle started a true freshman in the opener for the third-straight season, and freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) has made it look like a great decision. The 6-foot-7 Fouse is averaging five points and leads the team in rebounds (7.5), steals (1.4) and blocks (1.4) through eight games. He has led the team in rebounding in five times.
• SYKES SANS SOPHOMORE SLUMP: Sykes has picked up where he left off in 2011-12, avoiding the dreaded sophomore slump in the process. Sykes has reached double figures in seven of eight games this season and dating back to his freshman campaign has scored 10 or more in 22 of the past 25 games. He leads the team and is fifth in the Horizon League in scoring at 16.0 points per game.
• BLOCK PARTY: In his time at Green Bay, 7-foot-1 Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) has swatted 165 shots to shatter the Phoenix career record. With 89 blocks as a sophomore, Brown averaged 3.0 per game, a number that ranked in the top-10 nationally. Youngstown State senior Damian Eargle recently broke the HL career blocks record and has 243. Brown will be looking to chase down his record over the next year and a half.
• SECOND CHANCES: Green Bay has hit the offensive glass extremely hard this season, grabbing 23 more offensive rebounds than its opponents. Led by Fouse's 20, Green Bay has four different players with 10 or more offensive rebounds (Brown-18, Cougill-16, Mays-13).
• FAIR AND BALANCED: Led by leading scorer Keifer Sykes' 21-point game, Green Bay put five players in double figures against NDSU. Sultan Muhammad (13), Kam Cerroni (12), Cougill (12) and Brown (10) joined Sykes in double figures as five Phoenix players reached double digits in a game for the first time since Feb. 12, 2012 at Detroit. The 20 assists handed out in the victory were the most by the Phoenix since Dec. 31, 2011 at Valpo, a span of 21 games.
• DOUBLE THE FUN: In its Division I history, Green Bay has had two players post double doubles on just four occasions. Remarkably, three of the four have come under Wardle in the past three seasons. The most recent was against Southern Utah on Nov. 16 when Brown had 17 points and 13 rebounds and Cougill registered 17 points and 10 boards in the 64-52 win.
• ELITE COMPANY: Brown was in elite company in 2011-12. Brown, then a sophomore, was one of only two players to average at least 13 points, eight rebounds and three blocks per game. The other? Kentucky's Anthony Davis, who was selected first overall in the 2012 NBA Draft. Brown is a Preseason All-Horizon League First-Team selection heading into 2012-13.

LAKELAND, FL (August 23, 2013) -- The City of Lakeland has received its final report from former Judge Monterey Campbell regarding the review of the Lakeland Police Department's (LPD) public record process. Judge Campbell was retained by the City to specifically review LPD's public record requests processes to ensure conformance with Florida Statutes and provide recommendations regarding potential enhancements to current practices. Campbell concluded that LPD has procedures in place to provide full disclosure to the satisfaction of the requesting party. (

The report states that in the spirit of full disclosure, if there is a gray area of whether a law enforcement exemption to disclosure applies and it is not harmful to LPD's duty to protect the public, then LPD should err on the side of releasing the information. Campbell said, "I am reliably assured that where possible that will be the policy and practice that LPD intends to follow going forward, even if it has been perceived not to have been so in the past."
As part of the study into the public records process at LPD, Campbell met with the Polk County Sheriff's Office (PCSO), the Tampa Police Department (TPD) and he visited editorial staff from The Ledger. In the report, Campbell noted that the procedures adopted and in place and the practices followed by all of the law enforcement agencies were very similar. Campbell suggested that LPD continue to work with the PCSO and TPD in a collaborative effort to assist each other in helpful procedures that further the freedom of access of public records.
Chief Womack said, "I am very pleased that Judge Campbell found our process very similar to the PCSO and TPD. We will continue to review best practices and foster collaborative relationships with our neighboring law enforcement agencies." She added, "Judge Campbell met with myself and senior staff at LPD and he particularly liked some of the practices that we have put in place like our Public Records Handbook and the Public Records Training Guide that was designed to be a quick reference to answer common questions that pertain to public records access."
"I am persuaded that LPD is taking every step necessary to provide a willing and cooperative openness to their records in accord with the basic interest, purpose and requirement of our public records laws," said Campbell. "Chief Womack assured me of her intent and policy that LPD will freely provide complete openness to their records except where the law established that public safety and third party interests require that certain restrictions are applicable."
The report states that it is important that the public has confidence that LPD will perform its disclosure responsibilities in good faith. Campbell said, "My consideration of the process currently in place with LPD and the practices being followed regarding compliance with public records requests has persuaded me that there exists a good faith effort to meet the rightful expectations of the public."
City Manager Doug Thomas said, "I've had a chance to briefly review the report and it seems as though the practices that the LPD has implemented regarding public records disclosure have resulted in a favorable review by Judge Campbell. We will continue to consider further enhancements in both the LPD's and the City of Lakeland's public record requests processes such as implementing specialized records tracking software, expanding communication capabilities and improved media relations."
Campbell concluded the report by noting a court observation regarding public records disclosure, "the purpose behind the examination of the various provisions for exemptions, restrictions and confidentiality pertaining to public records disclosure is not to decide whether there are sufficient reasons to release requested information but rather decide whether there are sufficient reasons not to release it." Campbell said, "It appears to me that LPD understands and is on course of applying that concept."

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted homicide and kidnapping, among other charges, in the shooting of a 16-year-old boy who was found Wednesday lying on the sidewalk in West Valley City.
West Valley Police said the three suspects Brandon Carl Montoya, 28; Robert Salvador Apodaca, 22; and Gilbert Vigil, 19 had planned to shoot the victim and rob him of illegal drugs.
They met with the victim inside a Chevrolet Malibu in the area of 6700 West and 3800 South, where they allegedly tried unsuccessfully to rob the 16-year-old. One of the men pulled a handgun and fired multiple shots at the boy, hitting him in the abdomen and legs.
Police say the vehicle then pulled to the side of the road at 7135 W. 3500 South, where one suspect pulled the wounded victim out of the car. The car drove off with the other two suspects still inside.
Police began investigating the shooting after someone found the victim lying on the sidewalk with multiple wounds. He was transported to a hospital in critical condition. Police said Thursday he has been upgraded to serious condition. The victim's name was not released.
West Valley detectives were able to find the handgun and car tied to the shooting. Police are not looking for any other suspects.
Montoya, Apodaca and Vigil were booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on suspicion of attempted homicide, aggravated robbery, aggravated kidnapping and obstruction of justice.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I joined this site just to answer OP's post.
I suffered from the exact same thing on steeper blues/blacks.. short, overturned heelside turns that ended in skidding. Your picture summed it up perfectly.
What helped me finally is that I realized I was opening my shoulders majorly before switching edges.. the steeper the hill the more I turned to face the fall line in advance of the turn.. trying to make my board swing around faster.
What finally fixed this was forcing my shoulders to stay parallel with my board and initiating the turn by flexing my front knee and using my ankles and feet to switch edges and start the turn with no upper body rotation. Its a little gnarly on a steep hill to flip to your downhill heelside edge with your back to the fall line, but once you prove to yourself it works, you get so much better turn shape and speed control.
Hope that helps!
One of the things that helps me is mental.
If I start to get squirrelly, usually when tired, I try to visualize that my hips, legs, and board are hanging from my upper body instead of my upper body being supported by the lower.
For some reason, this seems to help keeping balanced and makes the edge to edge transitions cleaner - I unweight edge, shift to other edge, then apply weight again.
|Hehe, yeah. Don't try to stick out your butt with straight legs! You have to bend at the knees (& not at the waist, which means you're also bending at the ankles) otherwise you won't get up on the edge.
You don't want to actually stick your butt out by straightening your legs, riding at low angles (compared to a race alpine), there is a very large assymetric motion between toesides and heel sides. toesides, u naturally bend low, to increase edge angle, u still want to bend low heel sides, try using ur ankles as much as possible to tilt it high up, u must keep the same distance from your butt->board on both turns. don't let ur butt/center of mass get further away, or u will absolutely slip out in all but the most forgiving snow conditions.
Originally Posted by XR4Ti View Post

@Snowolf, I want to understand this dynamic thing better, did some reading in other posts (some of them yours). I have a couple of questions about this:
* How does dynamic turning help me feel more in control/control my speed? The way I brake is by ruddering/scrubbing, but it seems to me that dynamic turns have less brake control. What happens if I have to stop?
* I think I understand the cross-under technique. But cross-over - isn't that what I'm doing in basic link turns, what they teach beginners? When I transition from toe to heel my body crosses over the board from toe to heel side - so how is this different from dynamic cross-over?
|Not only does being dynamic help in various terrain it's just all around more fun turning the way in the video. Way more fun than all the ruddering and like snap rotations i see/used to do
|Slush Puppie
One particular thing you should notice it that when you are really being dynamic that feeling of "oh shit I have to point the the board down that hill" almost goes away. The mechanics of the leg extension mean that by the time your body starts to pick up vertical speed during the turn, the board has already made the turn and all you have to do is slow yourself down by compressing your legs and arresting the body's vertical motion. Even when initiating the first turn on the steeps, crunch right down and 'stand up' as you start to turn. It feels like this very motion initiates the turn positively. The turn will be done in a flash and you will be in control at all times. It's a great feeling and steep no longer feels steep once you get it.
The photo i linked to earlier is around 45deg (probably 55 at the very top) no more than a few meters wide. I rode that at about 30days experience. And felt confident and controlled the whole way down using this technique. Hopefully this is actually visible in the reasonably tidy line. Let me tell you, getting first tracks (for the season) down somewhere like this at my level of experience was a mind-blowing experience
Originally Posted by jml22 View Post

It is important to ride within your abilities, so working on these things at a comfortable pace is crucial to staying safe. Don't worry, if you have a desire to improve and the willpower, you will get better in time.
In regards to that video, I have tried listening to my iPod on the hill and find it distracting and puts me in a bubble. I do like to listen to it on the lift, however. To each their own.
|for shit and giggles i did what the OP was describing(blue line) on a black run.since were both regular footed, i wanted to see how i would approach a run especially if there were some icy spots. it was the quickest way down with probably two turns then bomb it. felt good

The 2017 U.S. News & World Report ranks Miami University the top public university in the nation in the category of "Strong Commitment to Undergraduate Teaching." Nationally, Miami follows only Princeton (a private university) in this rankings list. For the past eight years, Miami has ranked in the top five on this short, elite list of universities.
The Fiske Guide to Colleges 2017 continues to recognize Miami University for "gaining national recognition as an excellent state university that has the true look and feel of a private." Highlights of Miami's 2017 entry include its high-caliber student body, beautiful campus, and professors' knowledge and dedication to helping students develop educationally and personally.
Once again, Miami is recognized in The Princeton Review's annual flagship college guide. In addition to outstanding academics—the primary criteria for selection—Miami was described as having a "vibrant, social atmosphere" and a "gorgeous" campus. The Best 381 Colleges (2017 Edition) profiles only about 15 percent of more than 2,500 four-year colleges in the country.
Miami University was 1 of only 5 universities in the nation to receive the Presidential Award in the 2012 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. In 2014, Miami received an honor roll placement, following honor roll placement with distinction in 2013. Miami has been named to The President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll every year since 2007.
Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine listed Miami as one the "100 Best Values in Public Colleges" for 2017, ranking Miami 25th among in-state best values nationwide for public universities and 33rd for public university best values for out-of-state students. Miami has appeared on the list since it was first published in 1998.
Forbes magazine ranked Miami 167th overall and 31st in the Midwest in its America's Top Colleges for 2015 list.
95.5% of Miami graduates (per surveys and national data) were employed or continuing their education by Fall 2015.
In the latest Institute for International Education report on the number of students studying abroad, Miami ranks 1st among public doctoral institutions nationwide. The latest figures show 49.1% of Miami students study abroad before they graduate. (2016)

Even if wax does not include protein, synthesis and running entzymatic systems use proteins.
Quote from: Finski on March 04, 2012, 03:31:16 AM Even if wax does not include protein, synthesis and running entzymatic systems use proteins. Enzymes don't wear out because they are more active. :-D It is true that enzyme levels in an organism vary depending on what the organism is doing at that moment. But the amounts of protein required for making enzymes is VERY small compared to the the amount of protein needed for muscle. If the bees needed to make extra enzymes, they could easily get that protein by breaking down some muscle tissue. They would not have to eat more.
Note that I have studied biology in university. Don't fool me.
[In fact... I'm so impressed I'm changing my signature line to immortalize your university studies.
winter reminds me of the harmony among bee keepers :)
Finski, you must have been a mere teenager when that was filmed ! :-DScott
It does makes sense to me that they might require protein to make enzymes and that enzymes may be required to make wax. But I have not seen any research that says that.
To disambiguate and simplify. Mostly proteins are enzymes are catalysts. The presence of these chemicals allows a reaction to happen at either a different temperature or environment.
As you could imagine, the wax will not be synthesized without the pollens necessary to supply the nitrogen used in the production of those proteins. Any production will use the proteins, so after what's stored is used, the bees would drop or cease production. The sugars are C, H, and O, so the waxes will also have to have a chemistry without Nitrogen if made primarily from sugars.
Point I was trying to make is the wax doesn't have Nitrogen in it, and as a result would have to be composed of non-nitrogenous material from the proteins, or from a simpler source, the sugars.


text: Just looking to see if any one would want to add this to there collection. im looking to trade these for ak47 parts kits or any other kits, 22lr guns, mosin nagant, 7.62x39 ammo or any thing else. I would consider selling to but I'm not sure what they are worth so I would just assume to trade. One ammo can contains 228 7.62x51 empty shells linked together with the can. The other contains 82 50cal. Shells linked together with the can as well. Feel free to make offers.

Like the title says I'm running the new "Trinity" AMD A10-5800K APU. I'm trying to get the gpu to work in pyrit. I have gotten my laptop's Llano gpu to work, but i'm not able to get my current desktop gpu to work. The on-chip gpu is designated HD 7660D but it is my understanding that it is still based in the HD 6000 series architecture. My question is to utilize my gpu should i being using cal++ or opencl. or is it possible at all with these new chips?
I tried using the tutorials found on this forum but after running pyrit list_cores the gpu is not being recognized.

By Joe Brewin
Arsène Wenger believes Wojciech Szczesny has improved his focus since making his Premier League debut in December 2010.
The young goalkeeper has impressed as Arsenal's No 1 ever since that appearance at Old Trafford, keeping the likes of Lukasz Fabianski at bay for almost 18 months.
His ability on the pitch have rarely been questioned and Wenger believes the mental aspect of Szczesny's game has also seen a major improvement.
"He has improved in his focus, the consistency of it," said the Frenchman. "The talent was always there but he is maturing quickly.
"You can't be completely on the inside or completely on the outside. I like that he is a good communicator. You have to adjust, it's important to find a balance.
"The mental part of a keeper is vital. Look at Joe Hart, who is a fantastic goalkeeper for England. For me he shows that strength.
"I wouldn't like to say publicly what he [Szczesny] needs to do to improve, I'd rather tell him myself. Overall he has the basic talent to be a top-class keeper, how far he goes will depend on how much he wants to improve."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Peugeot 207
Most people buy the Peugeot 207 for its looks, but it's more than just a pretty face. …
The Vauxhall Astra has been a familiar sight on British roads since 1979 and, along with its biggest rival the Ford Focus, it's a byword for family motoring.
It should, therefore, offer everything a typical family needs from a car: five doors, a big boot and low running costs.
This is the sixth-generation Astra and it certainly delivers all that, even though it doesn't quite match the abilities of the Focus or VW Golf.
In some areas, design has trumped usability, with awkwardly placed windscreen pillars obscuring your view at junctions, and thick rear pillars limiting your over-the-shoulder view.
In addition, while it's an easy car to drive, thanks to light controls and accurate steering, it isn't as comfortable as a Golf or as fun to drive as either of its main rivals.
On the up side, the Astra provides plenty of space for adults in both the front and the rear. And it's a nice place to be because the dashboard is attractively designed and the materials are better than those in any previous Astra.

FREMONT, Calif. — The Men's Wearhouse's board of directors has offered new details regarding founder George Zimmer's termination as executive chair.
"Our actions were not taken to hurt George Zimmer. Rather we were focused on what we believed to be in the best interests of Men's Wearhouse, as well as shareholders and employees. While Mr. Zimmer owns 3.5% of the stock, it is our obligation to represent the interests of all shareholders."
According to the board, the conflict between it and Zimmer boiled down to issues of control. The statement presents Zimmer as a man who had difficulty accepting that he has not been the public company's CEO for two years. The statement lists the following points of contention between the Zimmer and the board:
• Zimmer refused to support the executive team lead by CEO Doug Ewert and which includes several team members who have been running the company for many years unless they acquiesced to his demands.
• Zimmer expected veto power over significant corporate decisions. Among them was executive compensation despite the fact that the company has an independent committee of the board that sets policy in this area.
• After initially supporting the review of strategic alternatives for K&G as proposed by management and supported by the board, Zimmer reversed course. Despite Mr. Zimmer's objection, the board and management remain committed to the K&G review process.
Most notable on the board's list of grievances against Zimmer was their assertion that he reversed his long-standing position against taking the company private by arguing for a sale of the Men's Wearhouse to an investment group. "The board believes such a transaction would not be in the best interests of our shareholders, and it would be a very risky path on many levels. It would require the company to take on a huge amount of debt to pay for such a transaction. The board strongly believes that such a transaction would be highly risky for our employees and would threaten our company culture that is so important to all of us," the statement read.
Without Zimmer, the board is now unanimously opposed to selling the company. It states that it is committed to a strategic plan developed by Ewert and the rest of the company's management team, which the board believes "will maximize long-term value for all shareholders."
The board added that neither its members nor management desired a total breakdown of the relationship between Zimmer and the company, but said that Zimmer left it no choice.
"We care deeply about the culture of Men's Wearhouse, which we fostered and helped create along with the management team and our 17,000 valued employees. We stand behind its core values of world-class customer service, servant leadership and the open door culture that celebrates the value of every voice. As we stated, we fully support Doug Ewert, our CEO, and senior management team who are unified and focused on the future of the company and the best interest of our shareholders, employees and customers."
