text: This is the time of year when you are switching over from your summer/fall make-up into you fun, winter, holiday make-up. Yesterday I walked into Sephora with this in mind. I was looking for a pink blush to give "winter skin" that pop of color that it usually needs. I decided on Smashbox's "Radiance"...perfect pop of pink! While I was perusing all the different labels I came across this new product from benefit. It is a "luminescent complexion enhancer." Perfect! Something that will give winter skin a healthy glow...add that to the basket. Next, I wanted a subtle, shimmery eyeshadow so I snagged Sephora's Carine No. 26. Last but not least, I needed a new tinted gloss. So I chose Sephora's gloss in "Confectionery"...perfect for the holidays!

Trainer Trent Busuttin is happy with the progress of talented colt El Roca ahead of his return to Australian racing in the Group 2 Eskimo Prince Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill Gardens on February 15.
Busuttin told Sky Racing HQ that El Roca has returned from the spelling paddock in excellent condition and confirmed that the son of Fastnet Rock will head to Australia next week if he performs well in a barrier trial at Avondale next Tuesday.
"He has had a handful of gallops and a jump-out," Busuttin said.
"We went out for a spell straight after the Guineas and he has come back as good.
"We are starting to let the handbrake off him and he is starting to run a bit of time in his work.
"We are heading towards a trial next Tuesday and if he gets safely through that we will put him on a plane and bring him over to Sydney.
"He will kick-off in the Eskimo Prince Stakes in the middle of February.
"We are very excited about getting him over there."
El Roca finished fifth in the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) during the 2013 Spring Racing Carnival and is set to have a number of further opportunities at the highest level of racing during his autumn campaign.
The three-year-old will run in the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill Gardens on March 1 second-up before stepping back up to Group 1 level for the Royal Randwick Guineas (1600m) on March 15.
Busuttin is hopeful that Busuttin can record a race win in one of the major three-year-old events during his preparation and said there are a number of options for his star galloper after he contests the Royal Randwick Guineas.
"We will take it as it comes and go open-minded," Busuttin said.
"If he is competitive enough against his own age-group we may look at the George Ryder or the Doncaster, but then again he may head through to a race like the Rosehill Guineas.
"It is all up in the air at the moment.
"There is plenty of money and plenty of races to choose from over there."
Leading Melbourne jockey Craig Newitt partnered El Roca in his two previous race starts in Australia, but connections have opted to go with a Sydney jockey for the colt's autumn campaign and he will be partnered by Hugh Bowman in the Eskimo Prince Stakes.

Indian Pineapple Relish
Recipe by eatrealfood
This relish is a nice side dish with Indian chicken dishes. A prominent note in its flavor is that of ginger, so reduce the amount of ginger if you would like its flavor to be more subdued in this dish. A variation on this would be to use mangoes instead of the pineapple, if you prefer.
Top Review by Juliawiggins
This is superb both with Indian or American food. Did not have onion seed but everything else was exactly as stated. It was okay at first taste but after the favors married overnight, kalblam! Out of this world! Made for Indian meal but I am serving leftover with ham tonight and I know it is going to be killer! Thank you for a great recipe!oh, and its easy too...

Snyder's of Hanover

#4407 Sep 3, 2013
People here in GA are putting their routes up for sale. I heard that one of the guys that just signed a new contract after a re route just listed his route up for sale. MrRoute.com is the way to go. No fees to you because they add their fees on top of what you're asking for your route. A few more months to get my weekly avg up and I am going to sell to get away from these thieves. Each week its some new way to screw us over. You should see the replacements for the guys that walked. A warm body is now all required to buy a route here.

they don't sell for shit ...

Guys, it's all about the stock price. That's the benefit of an IO system. You can find new ways to steal money from us to keep making earnings. Last quarter LNCE missed earnings and the stock tanked. If you think things are bad now, just wait until they get desperate to make earnings. They will fuck us without lube

Just curious, has anyone tried to contact Lou Ann at corporate about issues with percentages not being right? I have several times and also talked with dm. No luck. I worked Walmart on Monday morni, ran an end of day right after, did the math (adding 83% promo back in), deducted cost for the product and I am making less than 9 percent. I have co tacked a contract lawyer here and will be seeing him next week. I am tired of this. Also was told they were getting me a route value for 3 weeks and still don't have it. I bought this route at a great deal since the iBo before was kicked out of several corporate stores and crammed independent c stores with meat products to get the cash. Now, I am told that even though sales are up 67 percent, I can only sell route for 20,000 more than I bought it for. Then, on top of that, Snyders will dig their claws into 5 percent of that. Frustration abounds and there seems to be no one that wants to give any solid answers. Anyone else dealing with this?
#4413 Sep 6, 2013
Free Fallin'?????????
Even Tom Petty can't stop this train wreck..........
#4414 Sep 6, 2013
I have been telling corporate for years about the percentages for years with no solid answers ! I'm told I don't know how to figure percentages correctly, well that's bullshit! Problem is they know mist IBo's don't and the ones that do they just lie to, or they figure there is nothing we will do

They can't tell what u can sell it for .. They might only finance 20 k over the going rate but you could sell it for a million if the other person has the equity
United States
#4417 Sep 6, 2013
maybe allowance ? We haven't got them yet ... Or maybe they had to take some of our commish cause they changed the bags ... Lol What a joke
#4419 Sep 6, 2013
I spoke with the zone manager and another dm today. So, Walmart is an average of 12 percent profit. Hmmmm... He said that the 18 percent is a blended margin. Not in my books it has not been. My contract was signed under false pretenses, I feel.
United States
#4420 Sep 6, 2013
Walmart is because u give so much allowance on home packs .. U make 18 before allowances
#4421 Sep 6, 2013
The 18 percent blended margin is supposed to be across the board ( including c stores). At any rate, the assumption that making less than 9 percent at any one store is a joke and a slap in the face I believe.
#4422 Sep 6, 2013
You don't add promo dollars back into sales when figuring margin, it's a common mistake. You only get paid on dollars you SELL. Take the allowance off the cost of the product then figure it out.
#4423 Sep 6, 2013
You add 83% of the promotional dollars back onto your daily sales. If that was not the case, I would have a negative profit margin in Walmart every time I deliver. All of the promo dollars are what I sell in. We just have to eat 17 of the promo dollars. Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but I have ran a route for several years and have just started having issues with my paperwork not adding up. Up until that point, I could figure my paycheck within a few dollars.
#4424 Sep 6, 2013
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!! Snyders adds the promo to your sales! They will tell you to subtract the PA from your loads and it comes out to 19%. Well then why the fuck don't they subtract the PA???? It is added to YOUR SALES! Christ sakes , you sound like a Snyders shill.
#4425 Sep 6, 2013
We only get 81% of thePA back. Interesting how its different in other areas
Since: Jul 12
Location hidden
#4426 Sep 6, 2013
I agree. Before our recent merge and route changes I was able to figure within a few bucks. Now it's off 10-20 bucks in S-L favor. I do 83% added back in. Maybe I should do 81%. That's the thing no one will give you a straight answer. Different answer for everyone you ask.
#4427 Sep 7, 2013
That's so true, one has to wonder why you get different explanations from management. Are they clueless or are they not being truthful?

Lucknow, Jan 14: The Special Task Force of the Uttar Pradesh police today busted a fake passport and visa racket and arrested four people from Mumbai.
The STF claimed that by using fake passports and visas, the gang used to send people from east Uttar Pradesh to Dubai via Malaysia and Singapore. ''Most of the persons sent to Dubai were involved with the D Company and the gang used to work as a conduit for sending men and material to Dawood Ibrahim,'' said an STF official who was part of the operation.
All those arrested hailed from Mumbai. ''Their kingpin, Rathe alias Dada Sen, managed to escape...several women are also part of the gang which has its roots in East UP,'' said the official.
Those arrested have been identified as Sultan Haider, Sam Joseph D' Souza, Julian D'Souza and Ashok Gaura.
''A case was filed against the gang by a city-based person who claimed that he was duped of his money and was never sent abroad...we are working on the gang's links in UP and more arrests are likely in the coming days,'' he added.

Forced Mate(2004)
(The first book in the Djinn Family series)
A novel by Rowena Cherry
By all the Lechers of Antiquity, what is a god-Emperor to do when his chosen mate is caught on tape speculating that he is a brute and a bore in bed? Renowned for his sexual prowess all over the galaxy, Prince Tarrant-Arragon has a reputation for depravity to keep up, even if the reality of his private life is a far different story. His personal inclination would be to woo his intended with charm and wit, but politics and Tigron tradition call for abduction followed by swift consummation. Embarking on a skilled seduction, Tarrant-Arragon feels confident in his ability to take his queen. But he hasn't counted on the unpredictability of his little Earthling or the startling fact that she would make a pawn of his own heart.

James Arlington Wright Poems
A Blessing
Just off the highway to Rochester, Minnesota,
Twilight bounds softly forth on the grass.
And the eyes of those two Indian ponies
Darken with kindness.
They have come gladly out of the willows
To welcome my friend and me.
We step over the barbed wire into the pasture
Where they have been grazing all day, alone.
They ripple tensely, they can hardly contain their happiness
That we have come.
They bow shyly as wet swans. They love each other.
There is no loneliness like theirs.
At home once more, they begin munching the young tufts of spring in the ...
The Journey
Anghiari is medieval, a sleeve sloping down
A steep hill, suddenly sweeping out
To the edge of a cliff, and dwindling.
But far up the mountain, behind the town,
We too were swept out, out by the wind,
Alone with the Tuscan grass.
Wind had been blowing across the hills
For days, and everything now was graying gold

Profiling event logs to configure risk indicators for process delays
Pika, Anastasiia, van der Aalst, Wil M.P., Fidge, Colin J., ter Hofstede, Arthur H.M., & Wynn, Moe T. (2013) Profiling event logs to configure risk indicators for process delays. In Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAISE 2013), Springer, Valencia, Spain, pp. 465-481.
Accepted Version
(PDF 974kB)
Risk identification is one of the most challenging stages in the risk management process. Conventional risk management approaches provide little guidance and companies often rely on the knowledge of experts for risk identification. In this paper we demonstrate how risk indicators can be used to predict process delays via a method for configuring so-called Process Risk Indicators(PRIs). The method learns suitable configurations from past process behaviour recorded in event logs. To validate the approach we have implemented it as a plug-in of the ProM process mining framework and have conducted experiments using various data sets from a major insurance company.

Iran has become accustomed to Israeli threats of military action aimed at halting its nuclear programme. The Iranians have adopted a two-track response: to warn of the regional conflagration that would ensue, and to try to persuade the world that its intentions are purely peaceful, while insisting on its right to enrich uranium which is enshrined by treaty.
To that end, they point out that Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa banning Iran from holding weapons of mass destruction. A senior Iranian official admitted to visiting journalists that his country is well aware that, "if we attack Israel with one bomb, America would attack us with thousands of bombs. It's suicide".
They also know that a renewed Iranian threat to close the Strait of Hormuz would raise record oil prices still higher. The supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned that Iran would target US interests around the world in case of military attack. "If there is any attack, the whole region will be in flames," said an Iranian diplomat yesterday. "There would be a very, very strong response."
It is presumed that the targets the Iranians have in mind are the 150,000 US soldiers in Iraq and the 23,500 in Afghanistan. The Israelis must also be prepared for Iran to reactivate its Hizbollah allies in Syria, and Hamas in Gaza, which began observing a truce with Israel last Thursday.
But privately, Iranian officials continue to believe that the talk of military strikes is part of the West's carrot-and-stick pressure tactics aimed at coercing Iran into halting its uranium enrichment programme. They think the US is too tied down in Iraq to risk another military adventure with uncertain consequences. While the Israelis wield the stick, the Europeans and the US are dangling a carrot of a guaranteed fuel supply for a civil nuclear programme, which is what the Iranians say they want, although they insist on a domestic fuel cycle which is still not on offer from a West that fears a possible diversion towards a nuclear bomb.
The latest diplomatic offer to Tehran, endorsed by the US, contains a promise to renounce military action in case of an Iranian suspension. If Iran did agree to halt enrichment, the big powers would reaffirm "the obligation under the UN charter to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state...", the offer addressed to the Foreign Minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, states.
Although no official response to the New York Times report was forthcoming yesterday, the religious establishment lost no time before hitting back. "If the enemies, particularly Israel and its American backers, adopt a language of force against Iran, they can be sure that they will receive a strong slap on the face from Iran," said a conservative cleric, Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami. "The Iranian nation is a logical and brave nation and its reply to logical methods will be logical."

Politics Weekly podcast: public inquiries, strikes and liberalism
With prominent child abuse cases dominating the news in recent months and rumours of institutional cover-ups at the heart of politics, the home secretary, Theresa May, announced a wide-ranging inquiry into how cases were handled by public bodies. But her appointment of the former judge Elizabeth Butler-Sloss has attracted criticism because her late brother Sir Michael Havers was attorney general in the 1980s.
Joining Tom Clark this week are the Guardian's Michael White, its columnist Polly Toynbee, and Edmund Fawcett, the author of Liberalism: The Life of an Idea.
Also this week: more than a million public-sector workers went on strike across Britain. Do they have public support? And is David Cameron right to pledge that future Conservative governments would legislate for a minimum threshold in strike ballots?
Finally, the Liberal Democrats may be on the verge of an electoral precipice, but what of liberalism itself? Edmund Fawcett argues that as a philosophy it must be rescued from the free-market right wing and re-embraced by the intellectual left.

The Army's public affairs staff informs both Army personnel and the public about events and activities in the Army. Since many issues are time-sensitive, public affairs officers work closely with Army commanders to quickly release messages and statements to the media. Soldiers working in the field attend public affairs training at the Defense Information School in Fort Meade in Odenton, Maryland.
Several Military Occupational Specialties, or MOS, participate in public affairs training at Fort Meade. These include public affairs specialists, public affairs broadcast specialists, multimedia illustrators and combat documentation and production specialists. Soldiers in these MOSes must understand public affairs to create media documents and presentations that clearly deliver a message and maintain a strong, positive public image of the Army.
Public Affairs Specialist Training
Army soldiers attend public affairs specialist training alongside other Department of Defense personnel and international military personnel. Public Affairs Specialist Training is a 56-day course. In it, students learn the theory and principles of public affairs and media and community relations. Students focus on print journalism and learn the formatting, style and techniques that will allow them to write feature news stories and how to design and lay out a print publication. They also learn the basics of using a digital camera to capture images for their copy. The Public Affairs Specialist Training-Advanced Distributed Learning course covers the same material as the Public Affairs Specialist Training in only 28 weeks. Twenty-six weeks of the course are completed online and there is a two week in-residence phase at Fort Meade.
Other Journalism Courses
Two other courses at Fort Meade include the Content Management Course and the Intermediate Photojournalism Course. The 20-day Content Management Course prepares soldiers be editors. Students learn how to improve the layout and design of a publication, coach writers and photographers and manage print and web-based publications. The Intermediate Photojournalism Course is 40 days of training in written and visual communication. Topics of study include the interrelationship of writing and photography, photography techniques and principles of layout and design.
Officers working in public affairs attend the Public Affairs Qualification Course. Officers learn how to use print, online and video to effectively deliver messages. The course covers the basics of interviews, research, writing and editing. Training includes practical exercises and case studies. Other available leadership courses include the Intermediate Public Affairs Specialist Course, Combat Camera Leadership Course and Visual Information Management.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Hello and welcome to justanswer.com my name is XXXXX XXXXX I'm here to help you with your TV problem.
What is the make & model of the remote control that you're using please?
Have you tried any codes already?
Thankyou for your reply,
I checked the manual and saw that there is one code that you didn't' list for your RCA TV so please try 634
Unfortunately there are a finite amount of remote control codes in a remote's database.
What you can try to do is set your Dish Network remote control to scan all the codes contained in the database. This is explained on pg5 of the manual. This can take several minutes and may work as sometimes the remote control receiving board inside a TV has been made by another manufacturer.
If trying every code doesn't work then the only recommendation is to purchase a universal remote and I recommend the Harmony remote which has tens of thousands of codes in in their database. (I don't work for Logitech)

Because your inner badass gets her kicks when you break the rules — even the arbitrary ones — we challenge you to break one of the silliest fashion rules of all. Does anyone still think it's a fashion crime to wear white after Labor Day? For the skeptics among us, we've come up with over half a dozen ways to make white look good all year long, and in any fashion season.
Hey, the celebs are doing it, so at least you know you're in good company:
There's nothing that screams fall more than leather. So why not do as Kim Kardashian did and rock a white turtleneck tank (also very autumn appropriate) with a pair of black leather pants? This outfit is perfect for late September or early October, when the weather's just starting to cool off and you don't quite need a jacket.
More: White-out! Must-have little white fashion pieces
There's no denying the fact that white is one of Olivia Palermo's favorite colors. The socialite and style icon wears it very well here, tossing a brown fur vest over the top of her wintry white suit. Not a fan of pantsuits? Try a white faux fur vest styled with a plain black long-sleeved top (à la Palermo), a pair of skinny jeans and some pointy-toe heels or suede boots.
Next up: Slip into white skinnies

Stocks, Euro Near Flat; Greek Talks in Focus
(REUTERS) - World stocks and the euro barely budged on Wednesday as investors awaited the outcome of yet another meeting of Greek political leaders on painful reforms tied to Greece's second bailout package.
The euro rose early in the session to $1.3290, its highest level since Dec. 12, before paring gains. It was last up just 0.08 percent against the dollar.
The reforms, subject of marathon negotiations between Greece and its creditors, aim at securing a 130-billion-euro ($172 billion) rescue from the International Monetary Fund and European Union to avoid an unruly default.
Sources said European Central Bank policymakers were still split on a Greek debt deal, souring optimism that the process was drawing to a conclusion.
Repeated delays in reaching an outcome already have prompted warnings that the euro can live without Greece.
In addition, an Italian government source told Reuters Italy's gross domestic product may have fallen in the fourth quarter of last year, likely more steeply than the 0.2 percent decline posted in the third. That also put pressure on the euro.
Investors have worried a recession in Europe will put further strain on the global economy.
MSCI's all-country world index, a leading indicator for global equity portfolios, was up 0.2 percent, having cut most of its early gains.
It is going to be a drawn-out process like it has been, but the market has been looking beyond that, Tim Ghriskey, investment officer of Solaris Asset Management in Bedford Hills, New York, said of the Greek negotiations.
U.S. stocks were also relatively flat, though the Dow hovered at its highest level in nearly four years.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 15.40 points, or 0.12 percent, at 12,862.80. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 0.01 points, or 0.00 percent, at 1,347.06. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 3.20 points, or 0.11 percent, at 2,907.28.
Eurozone officials say the full bailout package must be agreed to by Greece and approved by the euro zone, the European Central Bank and IMF before Feb. 15.
Investors are keen to move past Greece and focus on signs from the world's major central banks they will retain easier monetary policy stances, which should support riskier assets.
The ECB's provision of nearly half a trillion euros in low-rate, long-term funds to banks in December helped prop up risk appetite with a second tender, expected to be similar in size, due at the end of the month.
The ECB and the Bank of England both hold policy meetings on Thursday, with the UK central bank expected to add an extra 50 billion pounds ($79.4 billion) of stimulus via bond purchases.
European shares ended lower. The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares was down 0.2 percent.
Also discouraging for investors, Germany reported the steepest drop in exports in nearly three years for December, and the Bank of France said its economy would not grow at all in the first quarter of 2012.
The German data suggested Europe's dominant economy may have contracted more than thought in the fourth quarter of last year, but recent sentiment surveys pointed to only a brief dip.
U.S. Treasuries prices held steady in volatile trading, with the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note down 1/32, the yield at 1.9786 percent.
Brent crude oil rose, with Brent crude futures last up $1 at $117.23 a barrel, while gold prices fell as technical resistance prompted investors to take profits.
Spot gold was down 0.8 percent at $1,731.79 an ounce. Gold remained up 11 percent for the year, boosted by the Federal Reserve's commitment to near-zero interest rates.

|Rend Collective tops iTunes and 'Billboard' charts
|Written by Jeremy Burns
|Friday, 28 March 2014 03:19 PM EDT
Dove Award-nominated Irish worship group Rend Collective released its fourth album, The Art of Celebration, globally from Integrity Music (Provident Distribution) on St. Patrick's Day. The album immediately soared to the top of retail charts internationally, becoming the group's biggest-selling debut and the No. 1 best-selling album of any genre at iTunes and Amazon.com worldwide.
With more than 18,000 albums sold, The Art of Celebration also hit No. 13 on the Top 200 and No. 1 on the Current Contemporary Christian Billboard retail charts, while simultaneously landing at No. 1 in the U.K. on the Christian/Gospel and No. 28 on the overall albums charts as reported by the U.K.'s Official Charts Company. Rend Collective also has three albums in the Top 10 on Billboard's Praise & Worship chart this week, with The Art of Celebration at No. 1, Campfire at No. 7 and Homemade Worship by Handmade People (Integrity Music/Provident Distribution) at No. 10.
"This is truly a celebration of God's blessing on all of the energy that the band, together with our team here at Integrity, have put into bringing a new expression of worship through the exuberant experience of Rend Collective songs and music," said Integrity Music's Steve Nicolle, vice president of sales and marketing. "I have had the privilege of working alongside Rend Collective on their journey from the beginning, and we couldn't be more thrilled for this worship-focused team of musicians and songwriters."
Along with sales success, Rend Collective continues to climb the radio charts with its lead single from The Art of Celebration, "My Lighthouse." The song is No. 13 this week on Billboard's Hot AC Indicator Chart, while hitting No. 24 on the National Audience Monitored Chart. Celebrating God's brightness in the midst of "troubled seas," the song will also be featured in a Bible Gateway devotional and is being featured now on Rend Collective's free devotional series on the YouVersion Bible app.
The band has been nominated for a "Best Live Show" K-LOVE fan award this year, and is on a 24-city U.S. tour with Kari Jobe that runs through April 13. Thereafter, the group will return home for an Ireland and U.K. tour in May, with a 40-city U.S. headlining tour planned for this fall.

London, October 29 : Chimpanzees very closely observe who all are grooming them, and ultimately return favours to them while freezing out others, according to a new study.
Cristina Gomes, a behavioural ecologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, came up with this finding after observing wild chimpanzees living in Tai National Park in Cote D'Ivoire for about 3000 hours.
She says that grooming, in a way, works like currency in chimpanzees.
"If you don't have a set price, then you're susceptible to being cheated and cooperation would probably break down," New Scientist magazine quoted her as saying.
She revealed that among chimps, grooming seemed to be a hygienic practice to pluck parasites off fur, as well as a social glue between related and unrelated apes.
For her study, Gomes spent several years recording the daily behaviour of 44 chimps. Each day, she tracked an individual chimpanzee, recording whom it groomed, who groomed it, and the length of each session on a handheld computer.
The researcher finally accrued 87 hours of grooming.
While the animals were found to forgo a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours approach" on a day-to-day basis and many debts remained unsettled, the researchers did observe that a tit-for-tat payback system emerged about a week later.
"Most of their reciprocity is going on over a longer period of time," Gomes said.
She further said that hormones were a likelier explanation for the behaviour of chimpanzees, and that the same could apply to humans.
According to her, primates could be made to learn to associate generosity with some animals and meanness with others by finely tweaking the levels of endorphins.
"I think that this is the basis of human friendships," she said.
A research article on the study has been published by the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

At dinner, an old friend – who happens to be in the coin business – explained how customers used rare coins as an informal way of estate planning.
"These old fellows are pretty shrewd. They come in and buy coins. Sometimes millions of dollars' worth. Then, they put them in storage somewhere and leave a note to their children about where to find them after they die. Often, the kids don't know anything about coins. So they come into the shop with bags of these coins, asking me what they're worth. One guy came in the other day. I looked at the coins and told him he had about $350,000 worth of coins in his hand. He practically fell over. Then, he told me he had another 14 bags at home."

Target: President Barack Obama
Goal: Institute a carbon cap-and-trade system for U.S. power plants
With odds very slim that Congress will pass any substantial bill lowering carbon emissions, the President should turn to executive orders to make a dent in our country's excessive environmental impact. A very good option would be to place cap-and-trade restrictions on power plants, producers of one third of our nation's carbon emissions. By requiring plants to buy permits for their emissions, companies would have a cost attached to rampant polluting while still being free to decide the best way to meet their targets. This way, no companies are affect more than others, all are allowed to make their own decisions on how to reduce emissions and, best of all, emissions are reduced.
A cap-and-trade program for power plants should be appealing to economists and environmentalists alike. The draw for environmentalists—lower emissions—is an obvious one. For economists, this plan steps back from the" how" and simply places a regulation on how much carbon a power plant can release. Allowing the free market, and these companies, to decide the best way to do the lowering is in the best interest of efficiency. In addition, a company that has found inexpensive ways to reduce emissions can sell their unused permits to companies that would have to spend much more to lower their emissions, lowering the price for everyone.
In the past, the U.S. has lowered levels of acid rain as well as the amount of lead in gasoline through a similar process. It should be added that both of these reductions happened at levels lower than expected. By signing this petition you are urging President Obama to use his executive powers to implement this program, making a necessary dent in our countries carbon footprint.
Dear President Barack Obama,
I am writing you this letter to urge you to implement a cap-and-trade system on carbon emissions for power plants in the United States. The gridlock in Congress makes it is extremely unlikely that any substantial carbon regulations will be made into law, and it is because of this that you should make this cap-and-trade an executive order. Requiring companies to lower their emissions while giving them the freedom to decide how is a fair compromise that should go into effect immediately.
Environmentalists will obviously back this proposal, and by allowing the free market and companies to decide what is the best way to reduce their emissions, economists should be appeased as well. In addition, the ability to sell unused permits—and buy them if that is less expensive than reducing emissions—lowers the cost even further.
In the past, the U.S. has lowered levels of acid rain as well as the amount of lead in gasoline through a similar process, both at costs lower than expected. We must lower our carbon footprint, and the matter is urgent. Please pass this common-sense law.

Points of Departure: There's Nothing Like It
John Holland (CGS'09, COM'11) talks about the thrill of playing basketball| From BU Today | By ALAN WONG
On May 22, John Holland (CGS'09, COM'11), BU men's basketball guard and forward and the team's lone senior, will graduate. Recently named America East Player of the Year, Holland made an undeniable mark as a Terrier, breaking the BU record for minutes played and finishing second in points scored, at 2,212.
Holland, a public relations major, is hoping for a shot at the NBA after college (the draft is in June), but remains humble about where the future may take him.
"I know that I, for one, am going to just try to accept whatever happens to me," he says. "Wherever I end up, I'm going to try to make the best of it. And whatever I choose to pursue, I'm going to try my best."

My "New" Article on Fracking and Property Law in West Virginia: What's in a Date?
I am happy to say I just received my new article, co-authored with a former student, S. Alex Shay, who is now a Trial Attorney in the Office of the United States Trustee, Department of Justice. The article discusses property law challenges that can impeded business development and negatively impact landowners and mineral owners in shale regions, with a focus on the West Virginia portion of the Marcellus Shale. The article is Horizontal Drilling Vertical Problems: Property Law Challenges from the Marcellus Shale Boom, 49 John Marshall Law Review 413-447 (2015).
If you note the 2015 publication date, you can see the article has been a long time coming. The conference it is linked to took place in September 2015, and it has taken quite a while to get to print. On the plus side, I was able to do updates to some of the issues, and add new cases (and resolutions to cases) during the process. I just received my hard copies yesterday -- January 9, 2017 -- and I received a notice it was on Westlaw as of yesterday, too.
I always find it odd when law reviews use a specific year for an issue, as opposed to the actual publication year. I can understand how a January publication might have a 2016 date. That would have made sense, but dating the issue back to 2015, when I discuss cases decided in 2016 seems a little weird. I know there is a certain level of continuity that the dates can provide, but still, this seems too long.
When I was editor in chief of the Tulane Law Review, one of the things we prided ourselves on was not handing off any issue from our volume to the next board. A few years prior to our arrival, a committed group of Law Review folks caught up everything -- publishing, if memory serves (and legend was correctly passed on), two and a half volumes. And Tulane Law Review publishes six issues a year. They, apparently, did not sleep.
I am happy to have the article our, and the editors did good work. It just would have been nice to have it appear a little more timely and relevant than I think this "new" article does. For anyone who is interested, here's the abstract (article available here):
This article focuses on key property challenges appearing as part of the West Virginia Marcellus Shale play. The paper opens with an introduction to the Marcellus Shale region that is the focus of our analysis. The paper explains the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing process that is an essential part of shale oil and gas development. To help readers understand the property challenges related to shale development, we include an introduction to the concept of severed estates, which can create separate ownership of the surface estate and the mineral estate. The article then focuses on two keys issues. First, the article discusses whether horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing constitute a "reasonably necessary" use of surface land to develop mineral rights, and concludes they are, at least in most instances. Second, the article discusses difficulties in analyzing deed language related to minerals rights and royalty interests, which has created challenges for mineral owners, leasing companies, and oil and gas developers. Please note that although the publication date is 2015, the article was not in print until January 2017 and discusses cases from 2016.
Ultimately, the article concludes, legislators and regulators may choose to add surface owner protections and impose other measures to lessen the burden on impacted regions to ease the conflict between surface owners and mineral developers. Such efforts may, at times, be necessary to ensure continued economic development in shale regions. Communities, landowners, interest groups, companies, and governments would be well served to work together to seek balance and compromise in development-heavy regions. Although courts are well-equipped to handle individual cases, large-scale policy is better developed at the community level (state and local) than through the adversarial system.

"Business Law" Earn Spot as 2016 Law Job Hiring "Trend"
Increasing business demands are prompting companies to expand into new products and markets. Businesses also are engaging in mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures; issuing securities; and performing other transactions associated with business growth, which results in larger corporate teams. Many companies have a need for additional in-house legal professionals who are readily available to help manage mounting financial and industry-related regulations. Moreover, corporate legal departments often prefer to handle more routine legal work in-house and retain the services of outside counsel for specialized legal work.
Real estate, IP, health care and compliance were also mentioned along with the noted strong growth in litigation. The full report/study is available here: Download Legal_2016_job_salary_guide.

The pair had never faced each other before but 1997 finalist Rusedski found his 20-year-old opponent a pushover as he won 6-4 6-2.
Malisse had already beaten one left-hander with a fierce serve in Goran Ivanisevic, who he disposed of in the second round, before dumping out Tommy Haas in the quarter-finals.
But against Rusedski, who led the tournament in first serve point-winning percentage prior to the match, he was unable to impose himself and lost in one hour and six minutes.
Rusedski, who suffered an embarrassing second-round defeat by Russian teenager Dmitry Tursunov in Memphis last week, served eight aces in the match and won 84% of points on first serve.
Adding in 29 winners and just 13 unforced errors, it was a performance of the utmost professionalism by Rusedski against an opponent who finished last season ranked 127th in the ATP rankings.
Rusedski fired down one giant serve of 139mph and goes on to face the winner of the match between top seed Andre Agassi and his fellow American Jan-Michael Gambill.
In four matches against Agassi, Rusedski's only win came at this event on his way to the 1997 final where he retired hurt while trailing Pete Sampras.

The Secret to Faking a Healthy Glow this Winter: Strobing
3 easy steps is all it takes. Beauty Smartie, Lisette, has expert tips and tricks! Keep reading...
With winter quickly approaching, everyone is slowly saying goodbye to contouring and welcoming strobing with open arms. Although you can contour anytime of the year, we tend to practice different makeup routines during different seasons. The same way your fashion changes from summer to winter, your makeup should do the same. In the colder months, the goal is to mimic a healthy, lustrous glow—the total opposite of what 30-degree weather does to our skin. So ditch the contouring and let's highlight instead!
What Is Strobing? Strobing is basically using makeup to brighten up your face and give it luminosity. There are 3 main products we're using to achieve that gorgeous glow we're after: foundation, concealer, and highlighter. Here goes.

Trainer Darren Smith says Atomic Force will remain pretty much at the same level that won him the Group 1 Railway Stakes last start but he's confident that will be enough to win the Group 1 Telegraph Handicap this weekend in New Zealand.
His confidence will grow further should his charger draw well, especially given he got the job done last time even after running wide throughout.
"He got away with racing wide in the Railway but it might be a little harder in a handicap race," Smith said.
Although he proved himself capable running without cover it's certainly not a tactic Smith would like to be repeated.
"As much as he handled it last start, you don't want to be covering ground all the time," he said.
One thing Smith can bank on though is a consistent effort from the dual Group 1 winner who he describes as 'no world beater'.
"What you see is what you get with him. I can't imagine him improving too much off his last run but I think he proved he is more than good enough," he said.
Atomic Force will face a greater challenge this weekend though with Mufhasa entered, the winner of over half a dozen Group 1 races.
Mufhasa will be the top weight but as yet Smith isn't sure how close Atomic Force will get.
"I am not 100 per cent certain on the weight we will get but I guess it would be around 59kg or 59.5kg," Smith said.
"He had 58kg last start so you would expect it would have to go up a little."
Smith assures punters that Atomic Force isn't just running for the sake of it and he's only there because of what he's shown in work.
"He'd done that well we thought we might as well keep him going," Smith said.
"He is settled in, he is fit and healthy and in good form."
This will be his final run before a spell leaving the gelding in an awkward position for his return to Australia.
It may be a rush to get him back in time to defend his Galaxy title in the autumn with perhaps the Brisbane winter carnival another option.
Atomic Force will once again be ridden by Nash Rawiller on Saturday before the Gai Waterhouse stable jockey begins a 12 meet suspension for careless riding during the Magic Millions.

Two high school boys went blow-for-blow until one was left lying on the floor.
As their brawl was being recorded by another student neither made noise. In fact, the 30-second clip showed the two boys throwing punches and falling to floor but the only sound was their heavy breathing.
It wasn't until one boy picked the other up and body-slammed him so hard on the bathroom tile floor that he groaned in pain.
The boy left standing simply grabbed his backpack and exited the scene as another boy came into view to check on the kid knocked down. "Dude," he said concerned.
The viral video raises many questions about what school this took place in and who the students involved are, but there are few answers as the story develops.

Exceptional Vacation Experience
Sail Date: April 04, 2015
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
This was our fourth cruise on Celebrity in the last 5 years. We had a fairly disappointing experience on our third Celebrity cruise in December, but hoped it was an exception. Our cruise on Celebrity Reflection was exceptional in nearly every respect. The food in the main dining room was consistently outstanding. The entertainment at the Theatre in the evenings was much better than expected. The staterooms and the overall ship were clean and in good condition. We have had friendlier and more engaged staff on other Celebrity cruises; but overall, this cruise experience exceeded our expectations!

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/772,360 filed Jan. 30, 2001 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,120,150 entitled "TECHNIQUE FOR ETHERNET ACCESS TO PACKET-BASED SERVICES", which is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to a technique enabling access to packet-based services, such as IP, Frame Relay, and ATM, through an Ethernet Protocol network.
Presently, communication service providers, such as AT&T, offer high-speed data communications service to customers through a variety of access mechanisms. For example, a customer may gain network access through a private line connection, i.e., a direct link: to the communications service provider's network. Private line access provides a dedicated port not shared by anyone else with facility bandwidth available exclusively to the particular customer. Unfortunately, private line access is expensive, and is practical only for customers that have very high traffic capacity requirements.
As an alternative to private line access, communications service providers such as AT&T also offer virtual circuit access allowing several customers to logically share a single circuit, thus reducing costs. Such shared circuits, typically referred to as Permanent Virtual Circuits, allow communication service providers to guarantee customer traffic flows that are distinguishable from each other, are secure, and allow customers to enjoy different service features. An example of such a technique for offering such shared service is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,081,524, assigned to AT&T.
Presently, there is a trend towards using Ethernet networks in place of Frame Relay and A TM networks especially for transporting traffic among two or more premises belonging to the same customer. Ethernet-based Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) currently exist in many areas and offer significant cost advantages on a per port basis, as compared to Frame Relay and ATM service. Transmission speeds as high as 100, 1000 or even 10,000 MB/second are possible with such Ethernet MANs. Moreover, optical Ethernet MANs typically offer a rich set of features, flexible topology and simple-end-to end provisioning.
Present-day Ethernet-based MANs lack the ability to logically separate traffic received from different customers, giving rise to issues of data security. Moreover, such present day Ethernet-based MANs lack the ability to manage bandwidth among customers, thus preventing the network from regulating customer traffic to assure equitable access. Thus, there is a need for a technique for routing data in an Ethernet protocol network that overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages.
Briefly, in accordance with a preferred embodiment, a method is provided for routing data in an Ethernet protocol network having a plurality of platforms, each serving one or more customers. A first platform receives at least one frame from a sending site (e.g., a first customer's premises) that is destined for a receiving site (e.g., another premises belonging to the same or a different customer.) After receiving the frame, the first platform overwrites a portion of the frame with a customer descriptor that specifically identifies the sending customer. In practice, the first platform may overwrite a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) field that is typically employed by the sending customer for the purposes of routing data among various VLANs at the sending premises. Rather than overwrite the VLAN field in the frame, the first platform could overwrite another field, such as the source address field, or could even employ a "shim" header containing the customer descriptor. All further use of the term customer descriptor implies that any of the above or similar techniques could be used.
After overwriting the frame with the customer descriptor, the sending platform routes the frame onto the MAN for routing among the other platforms, thereby sharing trunk bandwidth and other resources, but logically distinct from other customers' traffic with different customer descriptors. A destination address in the frame directs the frame to its corresponding endpoint. Upon receipt of the frame, the receiving platform uses the customer descriptor to segregate the frame for delivery to the proper destination, especially in the event where different customers served by the same platform use overlapping addressing plans. Thus, the customer descriptor in each frame advantageously enables the receiving platform to distinguish between different customers served by that platform.
For traffic with a destination beyond the MAN, this method provides a convenient and efficient way to map the customer descriptor to similar identifiers in a Wide Area Network (WAN), such as a Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC), a Virtual Private Network (VPN); or an MPLS Label Switched Circuit.
Overwriting each frame with the customer descriptor thus affords the ability to logically segregate traffic on the Ethernet MAN to provide Virtual Private Network (VPN) services of the type offered only on more expensive Frame Relay and ATM networks. Moreover, the customer descriptor used to tag each frame can advantageously include Quality of Service (QoS) information, allowing the sender to specify different QoS levels for different traffic types, based on the Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the customer and the communications service provider.
Each of MSPs 12 1-12 3 serves at least one, and in some instances, a plurality of premises 16 belonging to one or more customers. In the illustrated embodiment of
The traffic routed onto and off of the MAN 10 by each MSP takes the form of one or more frames 20 depicted in
These difficulties are overcome in accordance with the present principles by "tagging" each frame 20 routed onto the MAN 10 at a particular MSP, say MSP 12 3, with a customer descriptor 22′ (best seen in
In accordance with the present principles, the prior disadvantages associated with conventional Ethernet networks, namely the lack of security and inability to regulate QoS levels, are overcome by overwriting the VLAN identifier 22 in each frame 20 with the customer descriptor maintained by the service provider. Overwriting the VLAN identifier 22 of
In the illustrated embodiment depicted in
The tagging of each frame 20 with the customer descriptor 22′ affords several distinct advantages in connection with routing of the frames through the MAN 10. First, as discussed above, the tagging affords each recipient MSP the ability to distinguish traffic destined for customers with overlapping address schemes, and thus allows for segregating traffic on the MAN 10. Further, tagging each frame 20 with the customer descriptor 22′ enables mapping of the frames from a MAN 100 depicted in
After tagging each frame, the MSP 120 2 statistically multiplexes the frames onto the fiber ring infrastructure 14 for transmission to a CO MSP 120 4 for receipt at a destination PER 180 that serves the MPLS network 28 within which are customer Virtual Private Networks 26 1-26 3. Using the customer descriptor 22′ in each frame, the PER 180 maps the frame to the corresponding VPN identifier associated with a particular one of customer Virtual Private Networks 26 1-26 3 to properly route each frame to its intended destination.
The tagging scheme of the present invention also affords the ability to route frames with different QoS levels within a MAN 1000 depicted in
After tagging each frame, the MSP 1200 2 statistically multiplexes the frames onto the fiber ring infrastructure 14 for transmission to a CO MSP 1200 4 for receipt at a destination PER 1800 that serves an MPLS network 280 within which are customer Virtual Private Networks 260 2 and 260 3. Using the customer descriptor 22′ in each frame, the PER 1800 of
In the above-described embodiments, the frames of customer traffic have been assumed to comprise IP packets that terminate on a router (i.e., Provider Edge Routers 18, 180 and 1800) and that the VPNs employ MPLS-BGP protocols. However, some customers may require multi-protocol support, or may otherwise require conventional PVCs so that the traffic streams must be mapped into Frame Relay or ATM PVCs as depicted in
The above-described embodiments merely illustrate the principles of the invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications and changes that will embody the principles of the invention and fall within the spirit and scope thereof.
