text: Geoff Read Wrote: The ICZN have issued a negative ruling on Dodecaceria concharum. OPINION 2019 (Case 2899). Dodecaceria concharum Orsted, 1843 and Heterocirrus fimbriatus Verrill, 1879 (currently D. fimbriata) (Annelida, Polychaeta): conservation of usage of the names by the designation of a neotype for D. concharum not approved. Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 60: 66-67. (2003). --------------------------- This is indeed good news!! It is gratifying to see that the ICZN is able to reject proposals that are poorly conceived. This is vindication for Mary Petersen. Most of you may not know this, but after this "Proposal" was published, Mary prepared a very detailed rebuttal that presented in great detail the entire taxonomic history of Dodecaceria. The proposal by Gibson and Heppel in effect was to deliberately misidentify the type species of Dodecaceria established by Oersted from Danish specimens and then move the type locality to the U.K. Mary traced the entire nomenclature of the genus including a demonstration that all along, Gibson has been using the wrong names and concepts for his species. There are specimens available of Dodecaceria concharum from the type locality in Denmark and it is, therefore, not necessary to establish a new one in the UK as proposed by Gibson and Heppell. Unfortunately, Mary's review was too long to be published by the ICZN. I hope she will publish it elsewhere.

I'm back in Maryland.
Yeah… I'm not too thrilled about it.
You'll have to forgive me- I definitely leave a big piece of my heart in Colorado every time I leave- and it gets harder and harder each time! I'll try to keep my re-caps brief, but let's face it- I'm probably going to ramble and post about 1,000 photos.
This is the fourth summer in a row that Greg and I spent a week in Colorado, and I don't see that changing any time soon (unless of course, we're living there!) This was actually my fifth trip to the land of sunshine and happiness, since I had also gone for the Blend retreat back in May. We purposely scheduled our trip during the middle of July, so that we would be there for our one year anniversary (in case you missed it, we also got engaged in Colorado two years ago).
It all started last Monday with the alarm going off at 3:15 am (!!). Our flight was at 6 am, and the airport is about 45 minutes away. We both tried to sleep on the plane- but that didn't really happen (I can never sleep on planes!). After landing, we went to get our rental car. I mentioned to the guy at Enterprise that it was our anniversary, so he let us pick any car we wanted (except 4-wheel drive, which were way more expensive. I would have opted for something practical, like a Ford Taurus or Toyota Camry… but not Greg. He chose this:
Sure- it was a fun car, if you're going to Napa – but not so practical for Colorado. I saw his eyes light up though, so I just bit my tongue.
We made a quick stop at my Aunt Carol's house in Denver (she was flying back east the next day for vacation) and chatted with her a bit. We also hit up Whole Foods to stock up on a few things for the week. Our plan was to head out west towards Breckenridge and stop at Loveland Pass for a quick hike on the way. Even though we were both so tired, we figured it would be a good way to "break the ice" with the altitude. It's also kind of become tradition for us to hike there on our first full day in Colorado. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, as storm was about to roll in (as you can see by the sky).
We decided not to push our luck and just drove right into Dillon to get some lunch at the Dillon Dam Brewery. We had been there once or twice before, and I remembered the food being decent and the beer tasting pretty good. But the best thing about it? The view…
Can you imagine seeing that view every day?! Sigh…
After sampling a few beers and grabbing a bite, we drove on up the road to Breckenridge. Greg got a great deal through Hotels.com at The Lodge & Spa at Breckenridge, which is where we planned to stay for the first three nights. I was really excited about it, because the description on the website was great- and I was not disappointed! Check out our room!
The view was just… breathtaking.
We spent the rest of the day taking it easy and took a little walk in downtown Breck and grabbed some dinner. Since we were doing our 14er hike the next morning, we got all of our stuff ready to go and called it an early night.
Tuesday was the big day- our one year anniversary! Greg and I had been talking about hiking a 14er for over two years- and figured that our first anniversary would be the perfect day to finally do it. In case you're not familiar- a "14er" means a mountain that peaks at (at least) 14,000 feet above sea level. There are 53 14ers in Colorado, and they range from "easy" to "difficult." Easy is really a relative term- because any 14er is quite difficult- some are just more challenging than others. We chose to hike Grays and Torreys, because you can actually summit both on the same hike, and they're considered to be good 14ers to start with. Grays is 14,270 feet and Torreys is 14,267- so there's only a three foot height difference between the two! They are connected by a saddle, which makes it easy to hike from one to the other (again- easy is a relative term!). Greg had done a lot of research, and I got some great advice from my friend Heather (who has a number of 14ers under her belt!), so we had a good idea of what to wear and what the bring. One thing we did make sure of is that we left early enough to allow adequate time for the hike. Strong storms tend to roll in during the early afternoon, and you do not want to be stuck at the top of the mountain during one of those (unless you want to get struck by lightning!).
We woke up early and got our stuff together and headed out to hit the trail by 6:00 am. We were both full of nerves and excitement as we drove through Summit County. The morning was beautiful and misty- and just really set the tone for an awesome day.
We had been warned that most cars couldn't make it all the way to the trail head. The road was super rough, and you definitely had to have a 4WD vehicle (preferably a big Jeep!) to make it all the way to the parking lot. We ended up having to park about a mile and a half away, along with most of the other cars.
Where we parked was somwhere between 10,000-10,500″, and you could definitely feel the elevation! We had to walk up to 11,280 to get to the trailhead- and that alone was enough to kick your butt!
After what seemed like forever, we finally reached the trailhead. I was already exhausted- and our hike hadn't even started yet! But, I was fully prepared to have my butt kicked, and this was only the beginning.
We set out on the trail, and I was really struggling. There wasn't a ton of elevation gain in the beginning- but when you're that high up (and used to living at sea level), even a gradual elevation gain can seem like a like. I tried to focus on my breathing and thinking about the fact that I was doing something pretty amazing, and that I was with my husband of one year. Greg was also really good at encouraging me and talking about how cool it would be when we got to the summit. I also focused on the beauty that was around me.
I finally got into my groove and started feeling a little more energized. It also helped when we finally we able to see Grays and Torreys up ahead!
As we hiked along, and didn't see too many other people. This trail is typically super crowded on the weekends, but since it was a Tuesday, we didn't have to deal with that. We eventually got to a point where we kept hearing a squeaking sound- almost like a bird crowing- but it was coming to the ground. When we looked over, we noticed tons of little pikas- which I have never seen before! I tried to get a picture of one, but they are so fast. Here's one running away from me:
Around this point in the trail, we met a few people. Once we got this far and starting gaining more elevation, we had to stop pretty often to take very short rest breaks (even just a 10 second break helped a lot!). We kept moving along!
We met a triathlete from Wyoming and his young daughter (6 or 7ish?)- he had done this trail many times, but it was her first! They were both super fast!
There were so many times where it looked like we were getting so close to the summit, but I knew we still had so far to go. As we got closer to the top, every single footstep took more effort and we shuffled along.
And then all of the sudden- we made it to the summit!!
It took us about 3 1/2 hours or 4 hours to make it to the top of Grays from the time we left the car. We stayed at the summit for a few minutes and just soaked it in. Luckily, it wasn't really windy at all!
Our plan was to hike across the saddle over to Torreys and then come back down to the saddle to eat lunch. There was a trail linked to the saddle that linked up with the Grays peak trail, so that we didn't have to climb all the way back up to Grays again. The hike down Grays peak was super steep, but once we got to the saddle, it leveled out a bit.
And then there was the hike up to Torreys peak… whoa. Talk about steep- this was killer!
By this time we had been hiking for over 4 hours (all uphill) and it was going to take a lot more energy to get to the top (which I think was about a 700 foot climb).
I started to really struggle- but then I saw this coming towards me in the distance…
Some Goldie love was just what I needed!
Those 30 seconds right there gave me the momentum to get all the way to the top! And boy, was it worth it!
Greg signed our name on the sheet in the capsule
And we took a bunch of pictures.
Greg and I stood at the top and wished each other "Happy Anniversary" and were just in awe of the view. There's nothing like standing at the very peak of a mountain with a 360˚ view for miles and miles.
We eventually hiked back down the mountain to the saddle and enjoyed our packed lunch- peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a Dale's Pale Ale!
This was probably one of the best tasting meals I've ever had- seriously. And our lunchtime view… you can't beat it!
Around noon, it was time to start making our way back down. Coming downhill was a little challenging at times, but we both really tried to take in every single moment, since we knew it would be awhile until we saw something so beautiful again. I think that we were both on such a high too- we just couldn't stop laughing and smiling.
One thing that I noticed on the way down was the swelling of my hands (Greg's too!). I had read about this same thing happening to Lynne- and sure enough- I had huge sausage fingers (the swelling came down a few hours later).
We eventually made it back down the trailhead and started walking towards the car. Luckily, about five minutes later, someone with a 4WD vehicle offered to drive us the rest of the way to our car. We happily agreed! All in all, it took about 7 1/2 – 8 hours total from the time we left our car until we returned to it. It was the coolest thing I have ever experienced- and the second most difficult hike I've ever done (the first is still the Grouse Grind!!).
We eventually made it back to the lodge and showered and rested for a bit. For dinner, we had decided to keep it low-key and just grab something at Breckenridge Brewery- which was where we ate right after we got engaged. As always, we had to start with a beer sampler.
The beer was good of course, but the food left a little to be desired. Neither of us complained though, because we were still on our 14er high!
I can't think of a more perfect way to celebrate our one year anniversary, and will be thinking about that hike for a long time to come. Two 14ers down, 51 to go, right?
Stay tuned for the next re-cap tomorrow!
How do you celebrate anniversaries or special occasions with your significant other?

The Ultimate Pyramorphix Method
Proposed independently in 2004 by Mike Grimsley and the author, this is a simple yet very fast method to the Pyramorphix.
Step 1
Place the four corner pieces in one "layer" with their orientation as in the figure below. 1 through 4 represent the four colors.
4 1 _ _ 1| |4 2|_ _|3 3 2
Use one of these two approaches depending on the scramble.
- (Grimsley). Find adjacent corners with two colors matching, and build from there.
- (Makisumi). Two opposite corners with no same colors, the other two corners must be opposite to the colors on the sides.
Average ~6.5 moves
Step 2
Permute the remaining four pieces (they have no orientation) so that they match .Possible Cases
1/6 Oriented correctly: do nothing (0 move)
4/6 Adjacent swap: RU'R'U'F'UF (7 moves)
1/6 Diagonal swap: FRUR'U'F'U (7 moves)
Average = 5.833... moves + 0.75 AUF
Average: 6.5833... moves
Step 3
With the 2 moves to solve.
Total: ~15 moves on average

Oots Oots Oots: You Gotta Believe the Equalizer BPM Helps You Raise The Roof
For British Eyes Only: The O2 Cocoon
Hey, funboys! Get a room! And while you're at it, get an Equalizer BPM watch from Tokyoflash. This watch measures the audible BPM of any sound source — they're saying it works as a heart rate monitor as well, but I doubt it — but for $65 you really can't go wrong. It even has a little flashlight for picking out your next track. Hmmm… Dancing Queen or Europe's The Final Countdown. Nah. Let's put on the Gipsy Kings!

Most businesses accept credit cards as a common form of payment for goods or services without thinking twice about potential fraud. Unfortunately, given the faltering economy and the rise of technology, counterfeit, altered and forged cards are up a reported 12 percent over last year, according to the Pacific Coast Bankers' Bank (PCBB).
How can you prevent your business from accepting fraudulent credit cards? Here are some quick tips to determine whether a card is legit, courtesy of the PCBB:
1. Symmetry – Look at the numbers to ensure they are evenly spaced and aligned. A counterfeiter typically uses an aftermarket tipper/embossing machine that handles one number at a time. As such, numbers are often skewed.
2. Correlation – Check to see if the account number matches the card name. American Express® will start with a 3, Visa® with a 4, MasterCard® with a 5 and Discover® with a 6. You would be surprised how many crooks fail to do their basic homework.
3. Magnetic Strip – Some crooks are lazy or cheap and fail to coordinate the magnetic strip data with the data on the front of the card. To get around this, oftentimes bad guys will purposely damage the strip by scratching or demagnetizing it thereby forcing the merchant to manually enter the altered numbers on the front.
4. Receipt Match – If you don't have access to a magnetic strip decoding device to check the strip, one easy way to verify the strip and number is to run a transaction and see if the last four numbers printed on the receipt match.
5. Hologram – Check the hologram sticker on the front of Visa® and MasterCard® and the top back strip on an American Express® card for the foil hologram. Forged cards often have a dull, 2-D look.
6. Signature Strip – The signature strip requires a different material when creating a card and is also often overlooked when forging. The strip should be there and be white.
7. UV Logos – Purchase a small ultraviolet or black light to check the UV logo on most cards. "AM EX" will appear on front of an American Express® card, "MC" on a MasterCard®, a flying "V" in the lower left front and a dove logo in the middle of a Visa® card, and "Discover" will be written across a Discover® card.
8. Microprint – Most cards have a microprint verification number that can be seen with a magnifying glass. This gets about 80 percent of all crooks and the microprint can usually be found under the account number or on back. While it varies with different cards, usually the microprint duplicates the first or last four numbers of the account number.
9. Behavior – Nothing verifies fraud like nervous behavior of the cardholder. The most common tactic is for the crook to try to confuse or distract the clerk in order to take the attention off the fraudulent card.
If any of the above doesn't look right, get law enforcement involved as chances are high you are dealing with identity theft.
VISA® and the name Visa are federally registered trademarks of Visa. MasterCard® and the name MasterCard are registered trademarks of MasterCard Worldwide or its subsidiaries in the United States. American Express® and the name American Express are trademarks of American Express Company, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates. Discover® is a registered trademark of Discover Financial Services.

When I edit my signature the following rules are listed:
Your signature may contain:
* Up to 1 images
* Images up to 500 x 150 pixels
* Any number of URLs
* Any number of lines
Are those the only rules for signatures now? Does that mean, signatures may be as tall as we want now? I think that's not a good idea, your old size rules were perfect and prevented the users from having huuuuuge signatures which would be most of the time taller than the actual post.
Please also limit the amount of lines for the signatures. Also restrict the file size of the image again please.

|Greevace - 'Pulling Wool' EP (Self Released)
|CD Reviews
|Written by Mark Ashby
|Saturday, 14 December 2013 03:20
Greevace – who take their name from a deliberate misspelling of 'grievous' – are a southern US trio, comprising of brothers Andy and Chris Cauble on guitars and bass/vocals respectively and drummer Thomas Whitley, who until coming together in this amalgam at the end of 2008 had spent most of the preceding few years criss-crossing the North Carolina / Georgia border playing in various bands, including a few in which they had teamed up in various guises…
Five years into their career, this second self-financed EP is a prime example of decent, hard-working southern metal in the format we know it today, mixing doom, sludge and blues in a way which has been popularized by the likes of Down, Clutch and many, many others. While adding nothing new to the genre, 'Pulling Wool' is an efficient offering: the songs are well-constructed (as is the EP as whole, building from the thoughtful opening of 'Harbinger' to the swelling midsection through to the atmospheric closing instrumental 'Nautilus/Anunnaki') and well-performed, Andy Cauble produces some interesting riffs and melodies, brother Chris' vocals are suitably gnarly and both he and Whitley hold the tunes together with aplomb and practised expertise.
Greevace are the sort of band that, if you were touring the south-eastern USofA, pulled into a roadside bar of an evening and they were playing, you would definitely stick around for their set.

More missionaries, slight rise in Mormon converts
Published on April 30, 2014 at 12:49PM
Last year's historic increase in Mormon missionaries didn't' lead to an immediate spike in converts, but church officials say it's too early to draw conclusions. Figures released by the church show that after lowering the minimum age for missionaries, the number of proselytizing members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints increased by 41% in 2013. The number of converts, however, only increased by 4% last year. Church leaders say it's problematic to draw conclusions about the impact of the increase in missionaries based on comparing conversion numbers from 20133 to the year. They say much of last year was spent ramping up to be ready for the increase.
The onslaught of new missionaries was triggered by the church announcing in the fall of 2012 that men could start missions at 18 instead of 19, and women at 19 instead of 21. Men serve two years, women 18 months. The 85,000 proselytizing members serving now around the world are far more than at any time in church history. There are currently 15 million members of the faith.

E-cigarettes are used as an alternative to smoking tobacco. At least most people use them for that. Others use it for relaxation. Consumers can buy e liquid online or getfrom physical stores.The performance of e-cigarettes can be boosted by the e-liquids that are used. E-liquids give the user the pleasure derived from smoking tobacco. However, random e-juices are not the best. Some factors should be considered before getting some
The Device
The device that the consumer is using for the e-cigarette plays a big role when they are selecting e-liquids. The correct one will make the e-juice better regarding the flavor and the vapor that will be produced. The better the quality of the device, the better the experience will be with the e-liquids. Some of them have specifications of the e-juices that are recommended for them. Most of them, however, do not have any specifications. Research on them is therefore advised.
So many flavors have already been produced. This is more of a personal choice because what one consumer may prefer is not necessarily what another one may want to use. It is advisable to get the small bottles first then when one gets the flavor of their choice; they can buy the bigger bottles. It saves a lot of money.
Nicotine Strength
The e-liquids do not have a standard amount of nicotine in them. Some do not even have any nicotine. This is a predominant factor that should be considered carefully when selecting e-liquids. One should choose according to what they feel comfortable with and most importantly their tolerance.
Before purchasing anything, money is the first thing that comes to people's minds. Consumers want to make sure that they are getting the value of their money. There is a broad range of different flavors. It is economically and financially wise to settle for the best that is affordable. If ready-made flavors are a bit pricey, consumers can mix their own. This has been made easier by the fact that vendors sell base mixtures that come with flavored concentrates. It is also an excellent way to save money.
It is important to have a look at the ingredients that have been used to prepare the flavors. The key ingredients should feature in the packaging or else the flavor is of poor quality. Making sure that the liquids have the best quality of ingredients will ensure that the flavor is good as well as the quality of vapor it will produce.

The launch of University of the Arts London's (UAL) much feted degree show season has already seen two of the university's six colleges showcasing some of their finest postgraduate talent. The Never Seeing Nothing exhibition has featured work from London College of Communication students on the unique, online version of its photojournalism and documentary photography MA. The internationally-renowned course allows students from around the world to use live web conferencing to work together.
Central Saint Martins, meanwhile, is hosting two shows across May and June, including prestigious MA courses such as photography, fine art,art and science, character animation, performance design and practice with thousands of final-year students from all of UAL's six colleges will exhibit their work through the summer months, among them undergraduate and postgraduate students in art, design, fashion, communication and performance.
The exhibitions, catwalk shows and performance events will be attended by high-profile visitors and industry insiders, keen to spot the next generation of stars, and snap up their work – much of which is for sale. Exhibitions are free to visit and open to the general public. These eclectic events mark the highpoint in the university's calendar, and the pinnacle of students' academic careers. But they are not without their drama. For most, they are the result of months of hard work, and sometimes even tears.
Sarah Fortais, an MA fine art student at Central Saint Martins, used the bricolage technique (creating an artwork from diverse materials that happen to be available) in her degree-show spacemen installation. She came up with the concept, which utilises plumbing parts and curtain materials, 18 months ago. The past nine months have seen an intense period of mock-up, followed by trial run, and then five solid days of installation. This saw her washing windows, wrestling with mannequins, climbing ladders, and hauling around power tools, cables and crimping wires. In the process she lost her voice, had to communicate with college staff using a notepad, and spent so much time under a spotlight she reckons it has given her a tan.
"It's been a lot of hard work," she laughs, "but my degree show is more important to me than my graduation ceremony. It reflects the passion of the past couple of years – and what makes this course so special."
There is a lot at stake. Degree shows can change an arts student's life. Some will sell work. Others will gain commissions, or make connections that will determine their future career. UAL has a roll-call of famous alumni and a reputation for turning out high-calibre graduates. As a result the degree shows become a fertile, talent-spotting hunting ground.
Testament to this spotlight on UAL graduates was the decision byLondon College of Fashion to move its MA catwalk shows to coincide with London Fashion Week earlier this year (the BA catwalk show and exhibition still take place in June). Ten collections were presented to global media, while viewers from all over the world watched the showslive on the college's website. Commentary on Twitter focused on major new talent, including womenswear designers Keiko Nishiyama andMaddalena Mangialavori.
"Moving the MA show to coincide with London Fashion Week signalled the coming of age of our MA programmes," says Frances Corner, pro vice-chancellor of the college.
Postgraduate students from Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon colleges also have their own separate degree shows, which bookend the summer season in September. Gallery owner and art collector Charles Saatchi has become a frequent visitor to the Chelsea show, which includes renowned courses like MA fine art.
Other industry heavyweights and celebrity regulars on the UAL circuit include Julia Peyton-Jones (co-director of the Serpentine Gallery), fashion designers Sarah Burton and Christopher Kane, International Herald Tribune fashion editor Suzie Menkes, designer Sebastian Conran, artist Grayson Perry, Whitechapel Art Gallery director Iwona Blazwick, and Jane Shepherdson, chief executive of clothing brand Whistles.
But it's not just the VIPs, students and the general public who get caught up in the buzz. The university's tutors, technical and other staff play a key, behind-the-scenes role in the frenetic days and months of preparation. They also develop a close bond with students, culminating in the private view. This is even more special for students on London College of Communication's online photojournalism and documentary photography MA.
"It's quite a peculiar feeling working with a group of talented, dedicated photographers for two years, yet never meeting them in the real world," says course leader Paul Lowe, "until they all come together to celebrate the end of the course in the form of their graduation show. That they produce work as innovative as they do is a testament to them as individuals. But also to the unique sense of community that we develop together over the years, as we share our journey to try and make sense of the world of photography today."
All degree show dates can be found on UAL's summer shows website, which has a full calendar of events and visiting information. If you can't get to the shows, you can view the newest graduating talent from all six colleges in the online portfolio showtime gallery. Or you can go behind-the-scenes and join the social media conversation at Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram and more.

I realize there have been a lot of these create-a-creature posts recently. As the holidays approach I do seem to spend a lot of my time bringing creatures to life (and significantly less time cooking, reading, and doing all of the other things I usually do, but those posts will return, I promise!)
But I never get tired of it. Because each one is so different. I love it even more when the creatures have names, and stories.
These two pictures were drawn by sisters and sent to Santa. The story will be told that he liked them so much that he couldn't help but turn the drawings into real live toys. I even wrote a letter to each artist on Santa's behalf. It was kind of fun to be both Santa's elf and head of communications on this job. 🙂 And seriously, if you were Santa, wouldn't you want these to be the next toys your elves made?
Meet "Big." I don't know what a Moshling is….but they are awfully cute!
Then there is "Meap." I'm not sure if he will learn to speak English, but there was a lot of "meaping" going on in my workshop this week while he waited for his friend Big to come along. I'm just glad he wasn't shooting his lasers….
Both are now on their way (by Santa's sleigh, of course) to their new home!

* House oversight panel to hold LNG export hearing on
* DOE has not taken position LNG export report-official
* Lawmakers divided over need for export limits
By Ayesha Rascoe
* House oversight panel to hold LNG export hearing on
* DOE has not taken position LNG export report-official
* Lawmakers divided over need for export limits
By Ayesha Rascoe
WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. Energy Department
will tell lawmakers on Tuesday that it is wading through nearly
200,000 comments it received in response to a report on the
impact of natural gas exports, as the debate over sending more
U.S. gas abroad continues.
Released in December, the department-sponsored report gave a
resounding endorsement of the economic benefits of exporting
liquefied natural gas, saying the more exports, the better.
But a vocal contingent of manufacturers and heavy industrial
companies, as well as environmentalists, have blasted the
report, by NERA Economic Consulting. They have called on the
government to revisit the study using updated data and different
Acting Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy Christopher
Smith will testify to lawmakers that the department has not
taken a position on the NERA study or an earlier analysis by the
Energy Information Administration.
"DOE continues to review the comments that have been
received... and will address those comments when it issues
decisions on the applications," Smith said in prepared testimony
to the House oversight committee.
Smith's testimony was released ahead of the committee's
hearing on LNG exports scheduled for 3 p.m. EDT on Tuesday.
The last comment period on the export report wrapped up on
Feb. 25. The department said it received more than 188,000
initial comments and about 2,700 additional comments.
The shale gas bonanza has led to a natural gas glut in the
United States, where production has quickly begun to outpace
demand. Gas drillers argue that development will be curtailed if
they are not able to tap into foreign markets beyond countries
that have free trade agreements with the United States.
Nearly 20 projects have sought permission from the Energy
Department to export gas to new markets.
In his testimony, Smith reiterated that the department plans
to make decisions on a case-by-case basis.
Lawmakers have been divided on the issue of LNG exports,
with some, including Senate Energy Committee head Ron Wyden of
Oregon, raising concerns that the nation risks trading away its
energy security advantage if too many exports are allowed.
Still, more than 100 lawmakers in the House of
Representatives have thrown their support behind the NERA export
Ohio Congressmen Tim Ryan, a Democrat, and Bill Johnson, a
Republican, formed a working group last week backing increased
LNG exports. The working group will hold meetings and keep
members informed of developments on the export issue, the
lawmakers said.

In your article from the Chamber of Commerce town growth seemed so desirable, but does the growth of Oro Valley have a limit or a cost?
Unlike the famous housing bubble that would never burst until it did, growth has an impact on taxpayers. The cost of municipal services per household can be limited by how much taxpayers can pay because historically more homes equal more needed services, which equal higher taxes.
In October, I asked the Oro Valley Planning Board if they considered this impact before approving more growth and they responded that they did not consider it. When I called Pima County they informed me that Oro Valley should make those impact calculations and directed me to call to the finance department of Oro Valley. Ms. Lemos, from that department thought the town manager might know that information. After a few weeks his office informed me that they too were unaware, but surely the planning department would know. Chad Daines, from that department, called to tell me that at long last, they too were unaware of that cost to each homeowner.
Does anyone in the town know the average cost of municipal services per existing household? If my taxes presently support services for 40,000 residents, how much will they increase if Oro Valley expands to 80,000 residents or even 100,000 residents?
More residents might be great for business but how much will that cost the average taxpayer? Is that number worth knowing?
Paul Baker,
Oro Valley

Homesteading in Central Appalachia certainly has its benefits, but one of them is NOT its proximity to appealing and well-paying jobs.
In all honesty, when Ian told me he wanted to apply for the position director of Big Laurel, my first thought was "well s***, what am I supposed to do now?"
My job options out here are somewhat limited. I am only eligible to work for AmeriCorps for two years and with Ian's new job, our commitment here is for at least three. Though it might be possible for me to get a job off the mountain a town or two away, it would probably cause us to get a second car and me spending close to two hours each day driving. Worst of all, a normal job wouldn't allow me to take springs and summers off to help with the groups and summer camps we host on the mountain.
Working full-time off the mountain would take away much of what I love about living here.

- For scaling in Dark Souls, see Parameter Bonus.
- For scaling in Dark Souls III, see Parameter Bonus (Dark Souls III).
Parameter Bonus (also known as Scaling) is a gameplay mechanic in Dark Souls II similar to the ones from the first game.
It is a rating ranging from "E" to "S" of how well a weapon synergizes with a specific stat. These stats include Strength, Dexterity, Magic (mainly Intelligence), Lightning (mainly Faith), Fire and Dark (mainly a combination of Intelligence and Faith).
All the details are not completely known; in particular, how scaling works when there are multiple stats at once (such as for "quality" weapons).
Base damageEdit
Unlike in Dark Souls, weapon scaling does not consider a weapon's base damage. The damage boost depends entirely on the stat and the parameter. This has some ramifications:
- Low damage weapons will benefit the most from scaling. In particular, weapons such as the Club will more than double its damage output. A Mundane Handmaid's Ladle can deal upward to 130 extra attack rating, when the weapon's base damage is only 10. On the other hand, weapons that deal high damage will benefit less from scaling. For example, a Giant Warrior Club will gain about +100 attack rating, when it's base attack rating is roughly 500~600.
- Low damage weapons with high scaling (again, Club), will not benefit much from reinforcements as it will not increase the scaling damage. Since the base damage is already low, it is (arguably) better to rely on scaling for damage and save upgrade materials for weapons with low scaling or that deal high damage
Strength vs DexterityEdit
It has been observed that at equal rating, Strength scaling will give about twice as much benefit as Dexterity scaling; or, to see it another way, dexterity scaling is equivalent to a "2-tier" lower Strength scaling. For example, D scaling with 40 Strength will give as much benefit as a B scaling with 40 Dexterity.
Because of this, "quality" C/C weapons will gain more benefit from "40 STR / 20DEX" than "20STR / 40DEX".
Soft capsEdit
In terms of "return on investment" (for strength and scaling), unlike in Dark Souls, players get the "best" return on investment in the 30~40 range. The gains go something like this:
- 0~30 : 100%
- 30~40 : 150%
- 40~50 : 50%
- 50~60 : 25%
Where "100%" represents an arbitrary scale of what the player would get per point for a given rating.
In terms of scaling, it means the best gains are for "putting all your eggs in the same basket", with either "40/20" for Strength/quality or "20/40" for Dexterity, but never "30/30".

Louis Van Gaal wary of pressure as Club Brugge clash looms large
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal admits today's Champions League play-off against Club Brugge will be the most pressurised games of his tenure so far
Manchester: Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal admits today's Champions League play-off against Club Brugge will be the most pressurised games of his tenure so far. The Red Devils host the Belgian Pro League side in the first leg at Old Trafford today seeking a return to European football's elite competition after a one-season hiatus.
Louis van Gaal
Given the extra revenue that participation will generate United's hierarchy made a place in the group stage a key target for van Gaal, while expectation among the club's supporters remains high. And when asked if the tie will represent the most significant matches he has faced since he became manager, Van Gaal agreed saying: "Of course. Because the players want to participate, and the board wants to participate, but especially the fans want to participate so the pressure is high.
There is a lot of pressure because our aim and goal is to reach the Champions League. This kind of matches are difficult and because of the draw I think it is much more difficult because we have drawn Brugge and Brugge can defend very well, and they can attack also.
Pressure to deliver
"It will be a difficult match and that is why the pressure is high. Everyone wants to participate in the Champions League but first you have to beat Club Brugge." Speaking at a pre-match press conference ahead of the first leg, Van Gaal also addressed questions regarding the subdued start to the season made by United captain Wayne Rooney.
Rooney touched the ball once in the penalty area, in injury time, against Villa and has managed just three shots on target in both fixtures, but Van Gaal's faith in the 29-year-old has not wavered.
"I think all the media has written for one year and advised me I have to put him (Rooney) in the striker's position," Van Gaal said. "So it is very amazing that after two matches you are doubting your own opinion so I cannot understand that. But I have always confidence in my players." Van Gaal refused to divulge whether goalkeeper David de Gea would be considered for selection.

'A BRONX TALE'Chazz Palminteri stars in a revival of his one-man show from 1989 about growing up under the friendly tutelage of an Italian-American crime kingpin. Tamer than ''The Sopranos,'' certainly, but Mr. Palminteri's sweet, funny stroll down a memory lane peopled by scary men with silly nicknames is a pleasant diversion (1:30). Walter Kerr Theater, 219 West 48th Street, (212) 239-6200. (Isherwood)
'CURTAINS' This musical comedy about a musical-comedy murder -- featuring songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb and a book by Rupert Holmes -- lies on the stage like a promisingly gaudy string of firecrackers, waiting in vain for a match. The good news is that David Hyde Pierce, playing a diffident Boston detective, steps into full-fledged Broadway stardom. Scott Ellis directs a talent-packed cast that includes Debra Monk and Karen Ziemba (2:30). Al Hirschfeld Theater, 302 West 45th Street, Clinton, (212) 239-6200. (Ben Brantley)
'CYMBELINE' Mark Lamos imposes a stately elegance on one of Shakespeare's most unruly plays. Martha Plimpton is appealing and spunky, Michael Cerveris passionately tortured, as the couple at the heart of this twisty romance, which features the most surreally silly -- and yet moving -- reconciliation scene in the canon (2:50). Vivian Beaumont Theater, 150 West 65th Street, Lincoln Center, (212) 239-6200. (Isherwood)
'CYRANO DE BERGERAC' David Leveaux's disarming revival of Edmond Rostand's romantic classic is a double shot of silvery hokum, sweet but surprisingly potent. With an artfully low-key Kevin Kline in the title role and a captivating Jennifer Garner as his secret love, the show goes down so easily, you're drunk and misty-eyed before you know it (2:40). Richard Rodgers Theater, 226 West 46th Street, (212) 307-4100. (Brantley)
'DR. SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL' The seasonal show based on the seasonal book is back, and so is Patrick Page in the title role. He is simply great. The 10-and-unders in the crowd have no idea what a professional performance they're getting for their parents' money. The adaptation has its weak spots, but they don't last long (1:30). St. James Theater, 246 West 44th Street, (212) 239-6200. (Neil Genzlinger)
'THE FARNSWORTH INVENTION' Aaron Sorkin's information-crammed, surface-skimming play about the creators of television suggests nothing so much as a classroom presentation on a seven-figure budget. Hank Azaria and Jimmi Simpson are the appealing stars; Des MacAnuff directs with his reliable blend of slickness and liveliness (2:00). Music Box Theater, 239 West 45th Street, (212) 239-6200. (Brantley)
'GREASE' A limp revival of a musical set in a high school that feels like a musical put on by a high school. Kathleen Marshall directs and choreographs a charisma-free ensemble, whose leads (Max Crumm and Laura Osnes) were cast via reality television (2:15). Brooks Atkinson Theater, 256 West 47th Street, (212) 307-4100. (Brantley)
'THE HOMECOMING' A superlative revival of Harold Pinter's masterpiece of family warfare, directed by Daniel Sullivan, with a cast led by Ian McShane and, in benchmark performances, Eve Best and Ra?sparza. Four decades after its Broadway debut titillated and outraged American theatergoers, this extraordinary drama continues to unsettle (2:10). Cort Theater, 138 West 48th Street, (212) 239-6200. (Ben Brantley)
'IS HE DEAD?' What might have been a wheeze turns out to be a giggle. Mark Twain's previously unproduced farce from 1898, about a French painter who feigns his death, is brought to life by a cast (led by Norbert Leo Butz) and a director (Michael Blakemore) who make a tasty meal out of a profiterole (2:00). Lyceum Theater, 149 West 45th Street, (212) 239-6200. (Brantley)
'LEGALLY BLONDE' This nonstop sugar rush of a musical about a powder puff who finds her inner power broker, based on the 2001 film, approximates the experience of eating a jumbo bag of Gummi Bears in one sitting. Flossing between songs is recommended (2:20). Palace Theater, 1564 Broadway, at 47th Street, (212) 307-4100. (Brantley)
