Sen. 'Watson, of Georgia, is agal
making a scene in the United Stat(
Senate. The biggest part of his tin
seems to be taken up1) in creatin
scenes and criticizing somebody c
something about which he knows vei
little or is lprejudiced t great (leal. 'Th
senator, with one of the keenest iv
tellects in congress, acts like a sort
head and is tihe cause of endless u:
necessary debate, not to mention ey
pense. Weln will we get free of sueh

Maybe the (isa rmament confer1enc
will last a year and then it will llav
been fouir years since the war' wa
practically closed. Four years c
struggle, three years of talk and tht
4world still in arm1s. Allies of thre
years ago still armed to the teeth an
still arim ing. Friday has been s(
apart as a (lay on which to conniew
orate the close of the war, but wit
all the clatter and clamor, the feveris
')reipa rations for more wars, one doo
not hardly feel that the issues of ti
war are settle(l. Our hope is in tHi

The statement made by Sen. Dial t
City Council .Mlonday night that hi
company had already bought machit
cry for an emergency steam plant t
generate electricity in time of drougl:
is welcome news. The city has lon
stood in need of a more regular soirc
of electric current and the emergene
plant will, we hope, meet tle deicier
cy. The action of the Council i
granting a site for the plant at
nominal rental, will, we believe, tac
with the approval of the citizen:
Whether or not the present contrac
between the city and the power con
pany is favorable to the city, it is t
the city's iltcrest to be assured of

Do you wish you were in the audience during Barbra Streisand's final performance of Funny Girl on Broadway? Do you wonder how far Jonathan Groff was willing to go to score tickets to Thoroughly Modern Millie? And are you dying to know which beloved TV star and Tony Award winner was caught with his pants down in front of a movie legend?
From opening nights to closing nights. From secret passageways to ghostly encounters. From Broadway debuts to landmark productions. Score a front row seat to hear hundreds of stories about the most important stages in the world, seen through the eyes of the producers, actors, stage hands, writers, musicians, company managers, dressers, designers, directors, ushers, and door men who bring The Great White Way to life each night.
You'll never look at Broadway the same way again. This is the first audiobook in a multi-volume series that will tell the stories of all of the Broadway houses. Volume 1 includes the Winter Garden, the Richard Rodgers, the Marriott Marquis, the Al Hirschfeld, the Neil Simon, the August Wilson, the Mark Hellinger, and the Lyceum: eight Broadway theaters that light up New York City.

"Great Broadway book!"
Listened to Untold Stories on my long flight to New York City. I landed feeling like I had a new appreciation for the great white way. If you are heading to New York or just a fan of Broadway this is the book for you.
I liked how there were two narrators. The book is a compilation of hundreds of interviews and two readers made it easy to keep track of who was telling the story.
"Made My Trip to NYC More Fun!"
I listened to this book on the drive to NYC and knowing about everything that had happened in these historic places gave me an even greater appreciation for them. While the rest of my family was focusing on the stores in Times Square, I just wanted to walk down the side streets!
The book was written based on a lot of interviews so it is very conversational. It's very accessible but I imagine that it could occasionally be easy to stumble over some of the more colloquial phrases while reading. I liked the audiobook because hearing the narrators (one male and one female) read those sections made it just sound natural.

When I first saw Jimmer Fredette play, as a nine year-old boy, he was already pretty darn good. The start that he got on his path to success was certainly laid with a strong foundation that was taught by his father Al, and many of his family members along the way.
By the time Jimmer was in 6th grade, he was already being talked about by Greg Koubek and other area basketball brass as an exciting young player to watch.
Along the way, Jimmer played for many AAU clubs such as the Wilton Hornets, Northeast Sharks and ultimately the Albany CityRocks. From those humble beginnings was always a kid eager to work as hard as he could to improve himself as a player. Having coached Jimmer, I can tell you that he has a cerebral way about his handling of the game, and always has. He has the uncanny ability of being able to walk onto a court, size-up his competition and then determine as a game is going on, which of the myriad of ways he is going to beat you.
If you pack your lunchpail and decide to extend your defense on him and dog him out all over the court, he will drive right by you as if you aren't standing there. If you do have the speed to stay with his quickness, he knows how to use his body to get you called for a foul every time and then unfortunately for opposing defenses, if he does go to the stripe, he will knock them down with deadly accuracy. If you lay off him, he will bury you from long range every time. If you throw junk at him and rotate help over onto him depending upon his first move, he will distribute with the best of them and find open teammates. Perhaps when he his scariest, is when he is in his zone. When he feels the midrange jumper is available, he will coolly stroke it as if he never practiced from behind the arc, but don't think that will work because if you just give him the longball, he will hit that with precision as well, except this time he will get an extra point on each shot. No matter what you give him, Jimmer has always found a way to beat you and that is just one of the reasons why he is so special as a player.
It is this ability to score from all over the court no matter what the defensive hurdle, that makes him so unstoppable as a player and so endearing to his fans who just love his smile, his heart and his determination.
After deciding to return to BYU for his senior season, it has certainly now been cemented in the annals of history, that going back for the extra year was a good idea. Now that he has been picked #10 as a bona fide lottery pick with millions of dollars of guaranteed money in his future, it is looking like a slam dunk.
I am very proud of Jimmer, and appreciative of our time together. I was blessed to have him in my arsenal against players such as Corey Fisher, OJ Mayo, Lance Stephenson, Erving Walker, Chandler Parsons and Bill Walker, but even back then when he was just entering high school, he was the one we called upon when we needed a bucket. My team had some awesome options to go to. Kids like Mark Lyons, Talor Battle, Greg Holle, Taran Buie and Devyn Erwin, but Jimmer always had that knack of being able to knock one down when you needed it most.
That following year, Jimmer went on to lead the Big Time in scoring out in Las Vegas and by the time he was a junior, he helped lead this group of kids to a #3 finish in the country. It seemed, even then, that whatever you threw at him, he handled in stride.
Now, he continues to impress us all, handling all of this in stride and still taking the time to delight area fans along the way.
Yes for years, Jimmer has ruled our courts and has stood alone as the king, now in Sacramento, he truly will be a King and if he continues working, perhaps one of the great Kings of the court of all-time!
Good luck, Jimmer and thanks for the memories!!! Looking forward to the next phase of your journey…..

Authorities are investigating the discovery of a body Monday afternoon south of the Twin Cities in rural Rice County.
The body was found about 4:30 p.m. in a ditch in the 7000 block of 60th Street in Wheatland Township near Lonsdale, according to the Rice County sheriff's office. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension also was called to the scene.
Police sought dental records for Anarae Schunk, 20, a missing University of Minnesota student, after the body was discovered in a ditch about 14 miles west of Northfield, according to a report from the Lonsdale Area News-Review.
Police requested the dental records so that a medical examiner could quickly determine if the body was Anarae's, said Tyson Schunk, according to a report from the Associated Press.
No further information, including the possible identity or the gender of the body, was released Monday night.
Citing neighbors, the Northfield News reported that a county employee mowing the ditch discovered the remains.
The sheriff's office said the BCA was leading the investigation.
Schunk disappeared in late September after apparently leaving a Burnsville bar with her former boyfriend. That boyfriend is in custody for allegedly killing a man outside the bar that night.
Authorities are expected to release more information Tuesday afternoon.

A Sense Of Home Is Important In Residential Elderly Care
Many elderly people in residential care feel insecure during relocation or renovation work "" but there are ways of handling the situation. Those who manage to create a sense of home where they live are in a better position to cope with the stresses that go with change, reveals a thesis from the Sahlgrenska Academy.
Going into residential care means that elderly people have to adapt to an environment that differs in many ways to what they are used to."A sense of belonging where you live is important for your sense of self and identity, which, in turn, strengthens a person's ability to deal with the changes that impaired function and institutionalization can bring," says Hanna Falk, nurse and doctoral student at the Institute of Health and Care Sciences.
The thesis also examines how the elderly define the concept of "a sense of home", and found that it covers far more than just a pleasant physical environment.
"There are other factors that come into play, for example that the elderly furnish their rooms exactly as they did when they lived at home, or that they make new friends who contribute to a greater sense of home," says Falk, stating that actual attachment to the institution is vital if it is to be viewed as home.
She also found that renovations designed to help create a more home-like and supportive environment in residential care have little impact on how the elderly perceive the atmosphere. Furthermore, relocation and renovations "" and the problems that they bring "" can negatively affect the quality of life and wellbeing of the elderly.
"The vulnerability of the elderly in connection with changes to their environment must be given greater consideration in the context of extensive renovations than is currently the case in the care of the elderly," says Falk. "There's still plenty of work to be done, for example the development of action plans to handle relocations and renovations so that the elderly and the staff are in the best possible position to cope with the situation."
The thesis has been successfully defended.

A former Oconee County wrestling coach and teacher has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to sex crimes involving minors.
Former Walhalla Middle School teacher and Walhalla High School wrestling coach Richard "Trey" Gardner, III pleaded guilty Thursday to multiple counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor, 16 counts of lewd act on a child and dissemination of obscenity.
Gardner was arrested last year at Pageland Central High School in Chesterfield County. He had worked in Chesterfield County since 2005, but prosecutors mostly focused on his time in Oconee County from 1995 to 2005.
The two victims were student-athletes in the Walhalla school system at that time. Prosecutors showed that Gardner became very close with the two boys and spent a great deal of time with each of them both in school and at his home. Gardner began molesting the boys separately when each was about 13 years old.
In addition to his prison time, Gardner must register as a sex offender.
Gardner's attorney says his client has expressed remorse and regret for his actions in telephone calls to his victims.

Daniel Sturridge Hits Back over Liverpool Attitude, Says He Is Still InjuredNovember 26, 2013
Daniel Sturridge has shrugged off the concerns of Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, claiming he would always opt to play for England if selected.
Rodgers told the prolific striker—who came off the bench to score a last-minute equaliser in the Reds' 3-3 draw with Everton—to manage his fitness better. Rodgers was frustrated that Sturridge played 90 minutes in a meaningless international friendly only to show less application when it came to training ahead of the derby.
As reported by Dominic King of the Daily Mail, the 24-year-old has no regrets, even though he is still suffering with injury:
Regardless of what condition you are in, if you are selected by England, you go out and do the best you can.
I have been hampered for the past three games. I've had blood under my muscles in my thigh. When I shoot from distance I still feel pain.
Despite his niggling problems, Sturridge was able to make a massive impact when he entered the fray against Everton.
He scored with just 11 minutes of game time, highlighting the importance of the man who has netted nine goals in 12 Premier League appearances this campaign, per WhoScored.com.
After the Merseyside derby, Rodgers told the striker he needs to manage his responsibilities better. Sturridge failed to train fully on the Friday before the game, three days after he completed 90 minutes for England, irritating his club boss according to quotes reported by Chris Bascombe of The Telegraph:
I am looking at him in training on Friday and he is not right. Whose responsibility is that? It is the association, the player.
All I can do is look and assess who will give me absolutely everything when they go out on the field.
We have a game against a massive rival away from home. I need everyone as close to 100 per cent as I possibly can. He is clearly not. A lot of players, especially the top ones, are never 100 per cent fit.
Sturridge's reply suggests he has quite clearly sorted his priorities.
While it is admirable that the former Chelsea forward stands by his decision to play for Roy Hodgson's team, showing the passion lacking from many of the Three Lions' setup, he may need to ensure he shows equal determination for both club and country.
Liverpool were mightily close to suffering a dramatic loss against the Toffees and certainly faced a more difficult task with one half of the "SAS" missing.
While Luis Suarez influenced the game after travelling 13,498 miles from Montevideo—reported by Paul Collins of the Daily Mail—Sturridge was unable to start after a less strenuous excursion with England.
Although the player managed to come up trumps at Goodison Park, Rodgers' frustration would have been more intense if he had failed to impact the game.
As the season progresses it is best for Liverpool, England and Sturridge if the player manages to maintain 100 percent fitness. However, there will be times when he has to play through the pain—like club captain Steven Gerrard—and Rodgers clearly wants his forward to dig deeper.
With the Anfield club pushing for a Champions League place and England heading to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Sturridge has a huge role to play during the biggest campaign of his career so far.

Zip line proposal could benefit Quincy's granite compressor building
A proposal for a zip line facility in Quincy's historic quarries could also soon include the renovation of a dilapidated historic building.
Brothers Al and Walter Endriunas, owners of Quarry Canopy Tours Inc., have been trying to get a zip line facility built in Quincy since June, and already received the go-ahead from the City Council to lease quarry land for that purpose.
Despite having the go-ahead from the city, the organization still needs an okay from the state Department of Conservation and Recreation, which also owns part of the land.
Since the summer, discussions have also been ongoing with numerous stakeholders in the project, including local climbing groups, the Granite Workers Museum, and Friends of the Blue Hills.
"It's going forward, but slowly," Al Endriunas said.
Plans already included numerous benefits to the city, including a promise to dedicate $50,000, or five percent of gross revenues, from the recreational program; giving 24 hours of volunteer service a year improving the Quincy portion of the Blue Hills; and dedicating 50 hours a year for whatever project the Quincy Parks and Recreation Department chooses.
Now, Al Endriunas hopes to make the deal a bit sweeter by raising the prospect of renovating and using the Incline Compressor Building on Mullin Street.
The Compressor Building's lengthy history goes back from the height of Quincy's granite operation in the 1920s, however by 1942, the compressors were removed for the war effort, and operations came to a halt.
Since then the building's ownership has continually shifted hands, and more recently has sat in disrepair in the ownership of the Department of Conservation and Recreation.
A recent story in The Boston Globe regarding the building caught Endriunas's eye, and he sent off an email to City Councilor Brian Palmucci hoping to make some sort of arrangement over the building.
"It's just a shame to see a building like that go into disrepair," Endriunas said. "I know it has limited uses, given the fact that you have to access it through a residential neighborhood, but it seems something could happen there that could preserve the building."
According to Endriunas, preserving the building would go hand in hand with being good stewards of the property, and uses could range from making it the Granite Workers Museum to administration and storage purposes for the zip line tours.
"It's not unique to that location. A lot of properties the state/city government can't [fix] without a public/private partnership," he said.
How much a renovation could cost is still unknown, and how that deal may factor in with the operation of an estimated $500,000 zip line tour space is up for negotiation, Al said.
"I kind of had a knee jerk reaction. I saw the article, said it's a shame it's going in this direction. [We should] let someone know we have some interest," Endriunas said.
Palmucci said he has already drafted a letter to DCR requesting some sort of discussion to be initiated regarding this project.
At the very least, Palmucci said he wants a game plan for how issues with this building planned to be addressed.
"The ball will be in DCR's court," Palmucci said in a phone interview. "I'd be happy to broker some sort of arrangement whereby we make improvements to this site…I'd be happy to encourage them to sit down with this particular party or sit down with us and members of the community to discuss their intentions with this building. It's unacceptable to just let it sit there and continue to deteriorate."
The bottom line, Palmucci said, is that something needs to be done sooner rather than later.
"It's a run down building that isn't aging well and its not going to clean itself up, so unless we find a way to put resources towards improving it, nothing is going to change," he said.

Shipping magnate Paul Soros dead at 87
Updated 8:33 pm, Saturday, June 15, 2013
NEW YORK — Paul Soros, a successful innovator in shipping, philanthropist and the older brother of billionaire financier George Soros, died in New York City on Saturday after a long bout with a host of illnesses, said his son Peter Soros. He was 87.
Soros, an engineer and businessman, founded Soros Associates, a world leader in the design and development of bulk handling and port facilities. The company has operations in 91 countries. Soros also held a number of patents and wrote more than 100 technical articles on the transportation of materials and related shipping design issues.
"His genius, which was really reflected in his work, was really a function of seeing what everyone was seeing and finding new ways to solve interesting problems," said Peter Soros.
Soros also drew upon his own immigrant biography in establishing with his wife the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans in 1997. The foundation's $75 million endowment funds graduate education for immigrants and the children of immigrants.
Soros was born Paul Schwartz in Hungary in 1926. His father changed the family name to Soros a decade later, in response to growing anti-Semitism.

The title of the exhibit opening Thursday and continuing through April 27 at Triple Candie says it all: THANK YOU FOR COMING: TRIPLE CANDIE, 2001-08
Founded and run by a pair of former Seattleites (Shelly Bancroft and Peter Nesbett), Triple Candie excelled in being not only exceptionally alternative but also generous, smart, brave and funny.
Here's Holland Cotter on Triple Candie's Lester Hayes' exhibit, "A Promise That Never Bloomed, a Post-Minimalist You've Never Heard Of."
And here's the heart of what Cotter said about the place: There are, of course, small alternative spaces in the city that are doing things not being done elsewhere, staying strange and risking, among other things, critical heat. Triple Candie in Harlem is one. Established in 2001, it offered in its first few years fairly traditional solo and group shows, often of artists either locally underknown (Charles Gaines) or unaffiliated (Rodney McMillian). Lately, though, it has been trying something different. The gallery has begun to take a less orthodox course.
A few years ago it gave full-scale solo shows to artists who remained anonymous. Last summer it organized an unauthorized David Hammons retrospective composed entirely of photocopied catalog illustrations of that elusive artist's work.
Next came a survey of another mythic, maverick contemporary figure, Cady Noland, consisting entirely of Triple Candie-made replicas of her installations. Now comes a third retrospective, a posthumous one, the first and almost certainly the last, ever devoted to an artist named Lester Hayes.
In Seattle, Nesbett worked at the Francine Seders Gallery, where he met Jacob Lawrence and put together Lawrence's catalog raisonne.
TC mounted a lively non-exhibit exhibit for Lawrence, whose title the bot editor of blogs at the P-I will not let me use. Holland Cotter at the New York Times didn't have this problem. (His review here. More press reaction here.)
Below is Bancroft and Nesbett's description of their last show, "Thank You For Coming."
An exhibition of photo-documentation, ephemera (financial information,
correspondence), mailer cards, exhibition posters, fragments from past
installations ("Brian Jungen: Court," "Cady Noland Approximately";
"Lester Hayes: Selected Work"; "The Anonymous Artist Project"), copies,
reproductions, partial recreations of exhibitions ("David Hammons: The
Unauthorized Retrospective; "Undoing the Ongoing B (P-I censored word) of the
Migration of the Negro by Jacob Lawrence," "Museo de reproducciones
fotograficas"), and more.
The exhibition also includes non-art objects contributed by Polly
Apfelbaum (posters and T-shirts commemorating the fifth anniversary of
her 2003 installation), Matthew Brannon (poster he designed for his
2002 collaboration with Heidie Giannotti), Ann Craven (source material
related to the paintings she exhibited in a group exhibition in 2003),
Taylor Davis (reproduction of sculpture in her 2004 solo exhibition),
Martha Friedman (the pedestal for a sculpture she exhibited in a group
show in 2004), David Humphrey (damaged elements from his installation
in 2006), James Hyde (a mural-size Iris print of a wall-based sculpture
he exhibited in a group exhibition in 2002), and Heeseop Yoon (a
reinstalled fragment from her 2006 solo exhibition).
The pair might reopen elsewhere. Here's hoping and here's some solid good news: Triple Candie will remain an active programming entity in Harlem.
Triple Candie
461 West 126th Street

Phone: 212.865.0783
Hours: Thursday-Sunday, noon to 5 p.m., except during installation

While most of the rest of California is talking about whether to suspend or continue with AB 32, the state's Air Resources Board has released a plan about how they'd run the landmark greenhouse gas law's central program - the cap and trade program - and they're looking for public comment.
Starting in two years, the first phase of the cap and trade program includes electricity and large industrial facilities. Three years later they add in transportation fuels distributors, natural gas, and other fuels: so oil companies get a little time. The first cap in 2012, essentially, sets a don't-screw-up standard, at the forecast for whatever would happen anyway. Then it drops 2 percent a year, then ups to 3 percent.
The 2020 cap is about 15% below where the program starts 8 years earlier. The ARB projects that means 273 million metric tons of carbon dioxide cut from the state's output.
Industrial sources and utilities get free allowances, with the rest of credits under the cap sold at auction. Offset options include forestry, and methane; facilities can only use offsets to drop their footprint 8 percent. You can read more in a brief summary of the program here.
I'd guess - but haven't yet heard - that this isn't all environmentalists would want it to be. Other people have written convincingly about why giving away permits creates a different market than auctioning them all; ARB's plan is a compromise. The capped market begins in a couple of years; that may not be all businesses want, but it's a graduated plan: it's another compromise. The implementation group will give its opinion, and so will chambers of commerce, economists, and environmentalists. And I would guess everyone won't like something. (We'll keep you posted.)
What the ARB wants to signal here is that it's ready to go with AB 32 - and that it's not a scary, drastic option to cut carbon emissions on a market. Starting Monday, they want to know what people think about it: they're going to decide on a course of action December 16. (In keeping with the ARB's efforts to get as much regulation out the door before the end of Schwarzenegger's term.) Of course the outcome of Proposition 23 will serve as a public comment of a sort, but a less specific kind. But ARB is taking specific comments at its website - check here for more details.

The hipster pet squad is silently judging you, Stringbike.
Hungarian Designers at Schwinn Csepel Zrt. have designed the Stringbike, which uses greaseless, symmetrical steel wires attached to pulleys instead of an asymmetrical chain. It has quite a few advantages. Different discs can be easily swapped out to change the bike's purpose (going from a touring bike to a racing bike, for example). The wheels can be removed much faster and without getting greasy. There's no slippage when changing gears. And, since it has fewer components, it may eventually be cheaper to manufacture.
Disadvantages? Well, it's currently over 9000 €2500 ($3334 US). I also wonder how badly you could be injured if one of those wires snapped. Also, the siren call of a chainless bike may lead to a spontaneous hipster orgy tornado in your general vicinity. A sudden influx of cardigans of that magnitude can't be healthy.

Specific job goals increase performance. Setting quantity goals for production oriented jobs increases productivity but caution must be used when this is done for research and development job types. In any event, in order for goal setting to be effective, staff members must believe that the goals are reasonable and achievable.

Shane Valorin waited politely on the teleporter deck, tapping his fingers patiently on his trousers. He would have thought that the Captain would want to hurry in this situation. A majority of his crew were injured–both from battle and chemical imbalance. The ship was an overcooked bratwurst in the way it looked and, worse than all this, the morale of the entire fleet was at a dangerous low.
And yet the Captain was holding a friendly conversation with the teleporter Petty Chief, a chameleon-like Reen. The two were laughing at jokes and the Captain was clapping him on the shoulder proudly.
Shane shrugged. Oh well, at least he's trying to keep them honest. His tapping pace quickened. At least I hope that's what he's doing. He checked his watch, now impatient, soon realizing how pointless that was, They weren't trying to keep an appointment or anything.
The Captain finally nodded his appreciation–or whatever–to the Petty Chief, and trotted up to the teleporter deck. Nodding smugly with chagrined eyes to Shane, the man took the pod directly to his right. "You should be staying here," he muttered.
Shane, as usual, ignored the side comment.
Smiling openly an instant later, the Captain nodded again at the Reen. "Whenever you're ready Chief."
Shane lay his fingers to rest. A second later, the teleporter energy cloud zapped him from the chamber to the shiny deck of an immense hangar bay on the Palle base. The first thing Shane noticed about the gigantic open space was its disc-like shape, which, as Shane could remember, followed the Palle's common design and architecture. There were absolutely no dividing walls or cargo doors or anything in this bay, and one could follow the extensive geometric pattern of black lines and indented shapes all the way from one end of the scuffed metal floor to the other. At the center of the giant circle was an amazingly huge, multi-layer generator which, according to what Shane had reviewed, powered the network of track that the thirty-or-so rotating docking rings spun on. That way, the hangar could fit an entire armada of small starships inside its belly. And there was still enough space left to store over two thousand crates–cylinder, circle and disc in shape of course–full of cargo and supplies ranging from the simple like foodstuffs for the mess hall to the valuable and dangerous like Uranium and Duranium.
However, considering the scope of the emergency happening, it was no surprise to Shane that most of the everyday crates were being quickly replaced by more, marked with the Palle Medical Token. Beds had been laid out around the innermost circle, transforming a portion of the hangar into a triage center for the extensive amount of wounded and marred Alliance patients. Most of them were already and it had only been ten minutes since the first ship had docked. The doctors were rushing from bed to bed, completely overwhelmed. The bay's walls echoed a flourish of desperate and anguished shouts as the doctors reset broken bones. Some were even operating on patients right in the middle of the hangar, under protective, sanitized plas-steel covers. A morgue for those less fortunate officers had been established in a far off section. The entry and exit doors swished open as carts and medics sped in and out of them. They never seemed to stay closed for than a split-second.
The entire bay summed up in one word was chaos: a reflection of the war that Shane and the Alliance fleet had just come back from fighting. It seemed there was no escape from....
Shane blinked once, casting out that thought. That's how the military people thought: the lunatics. And those were the last people in the universe Shane would ever want to be.
The Captain immediately started, moving practically at a jog, forcing Shane, reluctantly, to try and keep up with him. And Shane didn't like rushing. He found himself nervously eyeing everything around him. And his fingers were back to beating the sides of his trousers again. Distracted, Shane suddenly saw that the distance between him and the Captain had lengthened in the last few seconds. Fearing he might lose him in the crowd of ahead, Shane stepped up his pace, jogging fully to catch up. But in his rush, he got distracted again, the drive to hurry almost sweeping him away from reality, and he nearly bumped into the Captain, skidding to a stop just behind his back. The sound of his boots skidding across part of the deck caused the Captain to stop abruptly, much to his severe disdain.
Upon seeing the alert look on Shane's face, the Captain haughtily asked, "What is it?"
Shane tried looking him in the eye, but found he couldn't. So instead of attempting it again and trying the Captain's patience, his eyes darted to the floor and the geometric patterns painted on it. "Oh, nothing; I—w-was just catching up to you, that's all," he stuttered, afraid to look around, much less up.
Rolling his eyes in a ridiculous fashion, the Captain continued on without another word–Shane making sure to stay with him–into the triage and its enormous crowd of beds, people, screams and sounds...Shane tried hard to keep his eyes locked on the back of the Captains dove-white uniform; the ripped and bloodied dove-white uniform. At the same time, he kept his mind fastened onto trying to figure out where the Captain was going. Soon enough the man was chasing one of the tall Palle doctors around, asking him where the base Leader was. After following the busy Palle around for a few minutes, he finally got one sentence out of him:
"I do not know." He rushed off.
The Captain sighed roughly. His exchanged irritable glances with the clueless Shane, palms balling in and out of fists. Briefly coughing, he suddenly bolted into action, proceeding deeper into the crowd. Shane gulped and followed. The irritated Captain was now asking the same question any Palle man or woman he saw wearing any uniform other than a medical tunic. Some didn't know, and most didn't care and ignored the human. Yet he continued to ask.
As time flew by, Shane grew more and more flustered in the crowd, eyes darting furiously around. So far everyone had basically ignored him too. That relieved only slightly though. There might have been some that didn't....
Shane blinked again. He felt terribly claustrophobic all of a sudden, even though he didn't suffer from that really. He needed to get out of this crowd, and fast. He found his way almost the instant later, while he was surveying again. Thin-headed Ikorian Alliance Captain Wessler was passing by the triage at a brisk pace, alongside a much taller Palle man–they never seemed to do anything small–in a military uniform. It could have been the base Leader, it could have be anybody. Shane didn't care though. They had to get out of this crowd.
So he called out to his Captain and pointed at Wessler. Excited, the Captain barged back through the mess of the triage, Shane following, relieved. They reached Wessler and the tall Palle man in no time.
"Who are you?" Wessler asked incriminating, rather rudely too.
The Captain practically ignored him, talking to the Palle. "Are you the base Leader?"
The Palle curtly nodded. "Yes. My name is Det, I am Leader"
"Good," he smiled for a moment, happy. He stuck out his hand powerfully. "I'm Captain Charles Valorin of the cruiser Shepard." They shook hands in two chops. "I'm sorry I surprised you, but I've been looking all over for you, Sir. We need to talk about what we do next." He turned slightly to face Captain Wessler and stuck out his hand.
"My misunderstanding?" the Palle asked.
The two Captains shook briskly.
The Captain then turned back to Shane reaching out his hand for something. "Gimme the datapad," he ordered.
"My misunderstanding?" the Palle asked again.
"What?" the Captain asked as Shane gave him the pad.
"What did you say?" the Palle asked in simpler terms.
Puling the pad in front of him, the Captain answered, "We need to talk about what's next for us. Where do we go from here, Leader?" He activated the datapad. "The Order just ran us out of the Haas'Bool system, and I know they'll–"
Before he could stop himself, Shane muttered the word "Umm," intending to correct the Captain's pronunciation of Haas'Pool. He then cut the sentence short quickly.
Nevertheless, the Captain swung his head around, glaring at him. "I'm busy. Shut up." Turning to Wessler and the Palle, he briefly gestured back to Shane. "That's my son, Shane. He's my aid. Only thing he can do to help." He snickered. "A damn pacifist. Never picked up a gun before in his life."

Individual voluntary arrangement
When you become so much massive with your debt condition and they are getting worst day by day it become necessary to take some advice on your monetary condition and position. There are different types of solutions and services available to manage your finance but choosing the appropriate solution is important.One formal tool that is used by the companies is Individual Voluntary Arrangement and it is playing a vital role due to its formal nature between you and the creditors and is administered by licensed party. The paperly documentation for the IVA agreement among the creditors and debtor is done by the court so it is important due to its trustworthy nature.
It is important for an IVA agreement that 75% of your creditors should agree with the terms and conditions of the agreement then it will be approved otherwise if less percentage is willing in terms of value then IVA agreement is not considered and is cancelled. IVA solution is also important due to its nature that after the ending of the payment period which is usually 60 months if there is any remaining amount it is cancelled and you don't have to pay for it.
IVA is suitable for you when you have several types of debt upon you such as credit card loan, payday loan and some other and is unable to clear such multiple types of loans then IVA is advised to you to manage financial distress. There are many other debt solutions and debt management plans but IVA is preferable because it is for fix period of time almost 5 to 6 years for which you are liable for a fix interest rate and after ending of the agreement you are not obliged to pay for the remaining rather they are write off.
Charges for an IVA There is also some cost attached with IVA. AS Insolvency Practitioner is the key role playing character in IVA so there is also some cost attach with him. He as being the nominee and the supervisor cant execute and manage the heavy amount of work only by himself but have to hire some further people to manage the work and also have to pay them so there is also some cost attach with IVA known as "Nominee Fee". IP take out its fee from the monthly payments made by the debtor each month while distributing it to the creditor.
Supervisor work as the administrator of IVA and will manage work like monthly disbursements, to make check on the agreement that either all the rules are properly followed by the parties, to manage all the expenses such as office and communication expense (like telephonic discussion and session for the IVA advise) and various other costs attach. To recover those there is some nominal charges attach. There is also documentation cost attach. Before the settlement of the agreement there would also be creditor's meeting held by IPin which some paperwork is presented to creditors or their representatives after mutually agreeing on the terms of the agreement.
Before an agreement has been made in creditors meeting the fee attach is known as "Nominee fee" and after that dueto the administrative work it become as the "Supervisor fee" both of which are taken from monthly payments made by the creditors on the agreed portion of IVA payments. The main creditors and their representatives and agents control the supervisor's fee. Generally there is wrong belief spread that it is the creditor who has to pay IVA fee but it is misconception.Inspite of the fact that it is taken from the monthly payments made to the creditors but it is taken from the client for whom IP is working according to the proposed interest rate. IP generally comes from an accountancy background and decide their ratio after seeing and analyzing your financial position to main their all types of cost.

Johnson Controls appeals court ruling in A123 sale
Johnson Controls on Monday filed an appeal of last week's court decision approving Wanxiang's purchase of A123 Systems, the bankrupt battery supplier.
The company said it considers itself entitled to receive a breakup fee that was previously approved by the bankruptcy court.
The appeal came as a committee of A123 creditors prepared to depose Johnson Controls concerning its activities in the bankruptcy case and sale of the Massachusetts supplier of advanced batteries for the automotive industry and military uses.
Last week, the bankruptcy court held Johnson Controls' breakup fee and expense reimbursement in escrow. Johnson Controls was the lead bidder for A123 but Wanxiang outbid Johnson Controls by about $5 million, with a bid of more than $256 million.
A lawyer for the creditors committee last week said Johnson Controls was actively lobbying members of Congress in a bid to thwart Wanxiang's purchase.
That is what the Glendale-based company is now appealing, noting that the breakup fee and expense reimbursement were previously approved by the bankruptcy court.
Johnson Controls said it has an active government relations function "that involves regular interaction with policy makers and agencies on the full range of issues relevant to the company," adding that its government relations activities comply with government regulations and "are consistent with First Amendment Rights of free speech."
The sale of the stimulus-funded battery supplier to a Chinese firm could still be scrapped, because it awaits approval by the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. That panel is reviewing the deal because of the potential threat to national security that the loss of A123's technology could pose.
U.S. approval was a challenge for the A123 sale to Wanxiang dating back to Wanxiang's attempt to buy the company earlier this year, before A123 sought bankruptcy protection from its creditors.
The company says the core technology used by A123 – whether in its automotive, power grid or military businesses -- "represent a risk to the sale which cannot be dismissed until resolved by the government review process."
A123 and Wanxiang have expressed confidence the deal will be approved because the deal was structured to avoid Wanxiang receiving A123's military contracts.
"Should the sale of A123 Systems to Wanxiang not be completed for any reason, Johnson Controls remains open to considering future opportunities to acquire relevant portions of A123's assets, keeping this critically important technology in the United States, preserving jobs and furthering the purpose of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act," said Alex Molinaroli, Johnson Controls power solutions president, in a statement.
Johnson Controls and A123 were both recipients of stimulus funding that the U.S. Energy Department targeted to toward helping the U.S. auto industry bring advanced battery technology to market faster.

EnSync, Chinese partner team up on utility-scale energy storage
EnSync Energy Systems has shipped a utility-scale energy storage system to South Korea, the Menomonee Falls company said.
The 500-kilowatt-hour system incorporates enough battery power for four or more hours of discharge, using EnSync's zinc bromide flow batteries as well as power electronics and converters.
Formerly known as ZBB Energy, EnSync is focused on smaller energy storage systems for commercial buildings such as projects it's built in Hawaii in recent years. But it's also been working on larger energy storage systems.

Do We Now Need Wind Compacts?
Written by Sig Silber
Random Thoughts from the High Desert
The taxing of wind energy by Wyoming raises questions of what is legitimate for government to tax. Can government tax the air that we breath? Does wind belong to a particular state or is it a resource that should be shared by neighboring states? If so, the legal concept of a "Compact" among states to equitably allocate a resource may be appropriate to consider.
This blatant seizure of a shared natural resource raises many new questions.
Information on on Wyoming's appropriation of wind can be found here and here and here and here and many other places.
Everyone knows that wind is caused by many factors including the rotation of the earth and the attempts by nature to equalize temperature and pressure and topography. Since it is variable and not fixed, it is not the natural endowments that were present when lands went from Territorial Status to Statehood nor natural endowments that were transferred to the residents of these States. So is wind the property of the State of Wyoming? Is it properly taxable? And then there is the question of motive. Is such taxation an effort to (a) increase revenues for the operation of the State of Wyoming, (b) have renewable energy be less competitive to fossil fuels, or (c) simply extract revenue from out-of-state customers given that the energy produced is mostly exported. As such, are there Commerce Clause implications? Is the Wyoming Legislature interfering in interstate commerce?
Wyoming does not operate in a vacuum. There are neighboring states. One category of agreement among states in the U.S. is the category called Compacts.
Here is a good LINK for more information on Compacts.
Quoting from that source, compacts are:
Permanent Arrangements SINCE a state is forbidden by the Constitution to impair the obligation of contracts, it cannot unilaterally renounce an interstate compact except as agreed by the parties. Consequently, the interstate compact is the instrument best suited for the establishment of permanent arrangements among the states. Its original role was of this character-the determination of state boundaries or of jurisdiction along them through self-executing agreements to continue in perpetuity except as the parties might agree to their modifications. Now, as then, the compact, because of its assurance of permanence, is the vehicle for establishing boundaries or territorial jurisdiction in boundary areas. Instances of the use of compacts for these boundary-jurisdictional purposes have been less numerous in modern times. The interstate compact is equally effective in the formulation of other arrangements where a high degree of stability is desired. Since the famous Colorado River compact of the 1920's, and despite the somewhat chequered career of that agreement as illustrated by the long controversy between California and Arizona, the interstate compact has established itself as the preferred and most widely utilized method for effecting the allocation of waters of interstate streams. Interstate park compacts also are motivated in part by the desire to employ a mechanism that will prevent the alienation of lands from the park purpose to which they are dedicated. The flood control compacts of the East -the Connecticut, Merrimack and Thames,* seek to establish interstate arrangements to reimburse upstream communities for a portion of the tax loss occasioned by the construction of flood control reservoirs. Permanence is necessary in such arrangements so that the affected communities may be assured of continued funds from the downstream beneficiary states.
It is useful to consider the overall wind resources of the United States. This map is one way to assess that. There are many other ways. More information on Wyoming's potential can be found at Wyoming Wind Potential
Can Wind Farms in One State Impact Neighboring States?
Wind Farms extract kinetic energy and affect a wind speed vacuum i.e. a momentum deficit downwind. It is not clear how far downwind the impact is. Does it cross state lines? It is also not clear what percentage of the removable energy is 'depleted' by each wind turbine. Is it significant? Is it even measurable?
Is the wind potential of states east of Wyoming impaired by the wind energy industry of Wyoming? If so perhaps a wind apportionment compact is needed? It may be difficult to determine how much wind each turbine 'uses' but if the wind is being taxed, it is easy to know how much tax revenue related to wind energy is being severed from the overall wind supply.
Thus it may well be that a wind compact is needed to equitably appropriate the revenues from the severing of wind from the natural process that causes the generation of wind.
Something to think about perhaps.
Would a Wind Compact be Effective?
When you look at a map of the area covered by the Rio Grande, Compact you can see why Compacts are so important.
There are parts of three states involved: Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. Mexico is involved via a separate "Convention" and areas just below the Compact Boundary in Texas are involved by what are called Warren Act Contracts. So a large number of people are protected by this Compact. The Colorado River Compact covers eight states. So Compacts are a very important tool for apportioning resources.
To understand the significance of a Compact, I call your attention to the litigation currently taking place between Texas and New Mexico and Colorado. It is in the early stages but the first report of the Water Master appointed by the U.S. Supreme Court has been filed. It is long but can be read here. It illustrates how binding a Compact is.
We are not the first to recognize the potential need for an Interstate Wind Compact. Here is an earlier discussion of this possibility.
At this point, as far as I know, there is no active dispute between Wyoming and South Dakota and Nebraska but one can expect that will evolve over time as wind power increases its share of the energy pie.
As government seeks to broaden its tax base, there may be other resources taxed which raise questions. The law has addressed those resources which have been used for many years. Thus there are fairly clear guidelines with respect to precipitation and water but recently questions have arisen relative to deep brackish water, stormwater, and storage of water as well as carbon dioxide in what is called pore space the small openings in soil and mineral layers which can hold liquids or gas. This article is a good reference on the legal status of pore space. It is only recently that who owns pore space has become an issue. What about sunlight. Who owns sunlight? We are likely to find that many things where ownership has in the past not been an issue may increasingly be an issue. The wind situation in Wyoming just happens to be one where it is already being taxed and thus the questions this raises are ripe for discussion.

Well, what did you expect? You thought Kanye West and Kim Kardashian would just name their newborn daughter "Beth" or " Tiffany"? You silly, silly human.
In traditional "I'm a total weirdo celebrity," Kimye decided to name their daughter "North." So her full name is North West. For a few days, it was rumored that the baby's name would be Kaidence Donda West after Kanye's late mother, but those rumors gave way to the sad, sad truth.
Kanye and Kim named their child a fricking direction. I really hope that Kim didn't just let Kanye name the child because the man just named his album Yeezus so he's not exactly batting 1.00 here.
Tune in next week as Jay-Z and Beyonce give birth to a baby they'll eventually name Compass. Just you wait.

Is it really possible to lose weight overnight? If it is, it's a dieter's dream come true. Who wouldn't want to go to bed and wake up two pounds thinner? According to Caroline Apovian, M.D, author of The Overnight Diet, that's exactly what will happen if you buy her book and follow her plan. In fact, she says that you can lose up to nine pounds per week on her plan. But can weight loss really be that simple?

How the Overnight Diet Works

According to The Overnight Diet plan, getting a good night's sleep can curb hunger hormones and help you lose weight. In fact, Dr. Apovian says that following her 2-part eating plan and getting a full 8 hours of sleep each night will put your body into fat-burning mode so that you can lose "up to 2 pounds overnight and up to 9 pounds the first week, and every week thereafter."

But, in order to understand why this diet works, you need to dig a little deeper and look past the bold headlines. In the small print, you'll see that the weight loss plan isn't really just about sleeping more. It's about changing what and how you eat.

On The Overnight Diet you restrict calories by fasting one day each week. On this "Power Up" day you avoid solid food and only drink weight loss smoothies. Then on the next six "Fuel Up" days you stick to a diet of lean protein, fruits, and vegetables. You don't count calories, measure points or restrict portion sizes.

As a key part of the diet plan, you are required to get a full 8-hour sleep each night. According to Dr. Apovian, a solid night of restful sleep will curb hunger hormones, help you stick to your eating plan, and boost your weight loss potential.

Does Sleep Promote Weight Loss?

Is it really possible to lose weight overnight with a good 8-hour sleep? Some researchers believe that getting more sleep may help you eat less and lose weight. But scientists haven't been able to prove that getting more sleep causes weight loss to happen.

Studies have shown that our bodies release a hunger hormone called ghrelin when we don't get enough sleep. Why does this matter? Because ghrelin interacts with the part of your brain that regulates hunger. When that happens your body starts to behave as if it needs more food. You get hungry, your stomach starts to grumble, and you may even conserve fat to avoid starvation.

Many experts do recommend that dieters get enough sleep. Feeling energized and well-rested may help to curb hunger hormones and promote daily movement to burn more calories. But researchers have not yet confirmed that sleep alone can improve or speed up the weight loss process. So it's important to put sleep into perspective when you're trying to lose weight.

Will You Lose Weight on the Overnight Diet?

This weight loss program may work for some dieters. But not without some hard work. Losing weight is about more than just getting a good night's sleep, even though the name of this diet implies otherwise.

If you currently eat a standard diet that includes more starchy carbohydrates, fat and sugar, switching to this strict eating style will probably result in a calorie deficit. In fact, if you follow this plan perfectly, you're likely to cut enough calories to lose a few pounds per week. And the foods you eat may be more healthy than the high-sugar, higher fat foods you currently consume.

But the plan may be too hard for many dieters to stick to over the long-term. And if your expectation is to lose 9 pounds per week, you may get frustrated and quit. No healthy diet is likely to produce that amount of fat loss especially for a long period of time. Experts generally agree that a reasonable rate of weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week.

So should you try The Overnight Diet? That decision is up to you. Getting a good night's sleep and eating a diet full of healthy lean protein, fruits and vegetables is a smart plan. But you don't have to buy a book to make those changes in your life. You'll find free information about hunger hormones, sleeping for weight loss and eating more protein online.
