Nutrex Hawaii Questions & Answers
Why should I take BioAstin?
BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid and has powerful antioxidant benefits and has been clinically validated in human studies as a safe and natural.
BioAstin supports:
Additionally, BioAstin is recommended for increasing sports performance and recovery from exercise.
Can children take BioAstin?
There are not specific trials in children, but since this is a natural product and is commonly eaten in many fish and seafood species, there is no reason to suspect that it would be harmful to anyone. At Nutrex Hawaii they don't think that a 4 mg softgel is necessary for a child under the age of 10, so you may want to puncture the softgel and use only half the contents each day mixed into food. Try to ensure that it is consumed quickly as it will start to lose potency. For children under 2 years of age, they don't think it's necessary to supplement their diets with BioAstin.
What are the MD Formulas?
The MD Formulas are a series of high-powered, clinically validated supplements formulated by a team of medical doctors and nutritional experts. Each formula combines BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin with thoroughly researched, clinically validated and branded ingredients. Each MD Formula supports a specific health condition: Eye, Cardiovascular, Neurological, Joint and Skin. They are all natural, pesticide and herbicide free; contain no gluten, no lactose, no preservatives or solvents.
How long has BioAstin been on the market?
In August 1999, BioAstin completed a review by the FDA without objection and was allowed to be sold in the United States as a human dietary supplement. A growng body of scientific literature demonstrates that natural Astaxanthin suprasses many of the antioxidnat benefits of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Beta-Carotene and other carotenoids.
What Makes Nutrex Hawaii Products Unique?
Situated on the bright, sunny Kona coast, their farm receives more sunlight than any other coastal location in the United States enabling Nutrex Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica to grow continuously for 12 months a year. Their ponds have been in operation since 1985. What does that mean for the consumer? More nutrition. Spirulina Pacifica has evolved into a nutritionally superior strain after more than 25 years of continuous cultivation in the intense Hawaiian sun.
BioSecure Zone
Nutrex Hawaii is the only microalgae farm located in a "BioSecure Zone" that prohibits the use of harmful pesticides and genetically modified organisms. What does that mean for the consumer? Their Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica and BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin products are grown without using any harmful pesticides, herbicides and they do not generate land erosion or water pollution. Their products are safe, pure and guaranteed GMO Free.
100% Potable Drinking Water
Their products are grown with 100% potable drinking water. This water is collected from the Big Island's pristine aquifer. After being natural filtered through lava rock, this water is as fresh as it gets. To minimize water waste and return essential nutrients back into their growing ponds, the majority of the fresh water is recycled and returned to the pond for the next growing cycle. This process contributes to providing the world's most nutritious Spirulina.
Ultra-Pure Deep Ocean Water
Five percent ocean water is added to the growing media for Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica. It is the only cultured microalgae grown with ultra-pure deep ocean water pumped up from a depth of 2000 feet below sea level. What does that mean for the consumer? Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica is enriched with all 94 minerals and trace elements including magnesium and calcium.
Ocean Chill Drying
Nutrex Hawaii's patented Ocean Chill Drying system eliminates oxidation and damage to carotenoids, enzymes and other fragile nutrients that occur in standard drying methods. What does that mean for the consumer? Nutritional content that you can rely on. This patented system dries their Spirulina in just 3-7 seconds, relies on very cold deep ocean water to provide de-humidification, and uses less than one percent oxygen to preserve the phytonutrients. And because of their superior packaging, their Spirulina arrives to the consumer as fresh as the day it was harvested.
Environmental Responsibility & Sustainability
Nutrex Hawaii's corporate philosophy is to leave the land and environment in better condition than when they started. What does this mean for the consumer? You can feel good about purchasing products from a company that does everything possible to protect the environment.
About Nutrex Hawaii
Nutrex Hawaii was founded in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii in 1990 by Dr. Gerald Cysewski, a world-renowned expert in microalgae and carotenoids. Their mission is to utilize the benefits of microalgae to improve health and extend lives in the world wide community. Carved out of land that was once a barren lava flow, Nutrex Hawaii is located on the pristine Kona coast on the Big Island of Hawaii. Their farm draws on the natural resources that surround them - abundant warm sunlight, pure deep ocean water and 100% fresh water drawn from Hawaiian aquifers.

Project Name: BLURRED BOUNDARIES: Capitol Valley Ranch
Project Location: Old Snowmass, Colorado
Project Category: 4A - Residential Design (Over $100,000 Construction Budget)
Project Summary | Capitol Valley Ranch's design conveys a sense of intimacy and human comfort in a life-size, natural
environment. In this rural setting, architecture and landscape architecture merge to create a seamless and understated transition
between the built and natural environments. The design seeks to redefine the design of mountain homes by addressing water,
material and energy consumption. This project defines the notion of successful teamwork, combining the team's collective
imagination and desire to recreate the landscape utilizing its natural systems with the owners' commitment to preserving
remnants of the social and agricultural heritage of the valley. The generous use of operable glass allows for abundant natural
light and encourages close relationships between indoor and outdoor spaces, joining the domestic and the wild, while also
facilitating passive solar radiation and cross-ventilation of mountain breezes.
Purpose of Project | The owners of this property, ranching and open-lands enthusiasts, felt strongly that the home should not
impose itself on the surrounding environment, but rather emerge from it in an organic and respectful manner. The home, set on
a topographic bench of land overlooking the Capitol Creek Valley in Colorado, is set low in the landscape, assuming an equal
status with the adjacent ranch land and capturing the panoramic views that surround it. The agricultural and domestic areas are
so successfully integrated that the wooden rail fences – visual markers in the landscape – are necessary only for keeping the
horses and cattle out of the garden areas. Masked by subtle berming and tree massing, the house is virtually invisible from the
ranch road leading to the property. Even with quite a bit of grade change over the site, the design team reduced overall site
disturbance by finding a way to make a level transition to match the existing natural grade. The resulting effect creates a low-key
environment which allows for frequent sightings of bear, elk, deer and bird habitats, achieving the owner's goals for the
Role of Landscape Architect | The challenge was to make the home feel like it belonged on this piece of land. Striving beyond
stylish influences, designers found equal importance in listening to the land and drawing from the valley's rural agricultural
heritage. The home was inspired by the designs of Cliff May, the 20th-century architect credited with recreating the modern
American ranch house. The home combines Western ranch house style with an element of modernism. The long central form
and wings that extend out into the landscape invite nature to become as much a part of the home as the furnishings. The indoor
and outdoor spaces are separated only by windows, doors and walls, with no changes in levels between interior and exterior
Working in close collaboration, the design team created a reciprocal relationship between the home, its landscape and the larger
environment. Passive solar design sites the building to optimize solar benefit – creating a heat sink with regional sandstone
flooring that retains heat during winter months and managing undesirable heat gain during peak solar hours via exterior sun
shade design. An outdoor courtyard and edible garden, situated to strategically take full advantage of the site's solar exposure,
transitions from the interior living room.
The reciprocal relationship also facilitates mountain breezes to flow through the heart of the home. Throughout, windows
extend to the roof, bringing in additional natural light and allowing for cross-ventilation. Inside and out, materials are used in a
variety of ways – horizontally, vertically and even gapped to allow soft dappled light to filter inside. The latter treatment is
reminiscent of how barns have been built in the West for centuries. Deciduous trees, strategically planted adjacent to the home,
provide shade in the summer and allow solar radiation during the winter months.
Special Factors | Like most agricultural lands in the region, the property is reliant upon water provided by the seasonally flowing
irrigation ditches that crisscross the surrounding ranch lands. However, the site's existing irrigation ditch bisected the existing
building envelope designation. Instead of disturbing the flow of the historic channel, the landscape architect achieved approval
from the stringent Pitkin County planning department for an alternative building envelope site, and incorporated the ditch as an
entry feature. The ditch was replanted with cottonwood trees and masses of willow and dogwood to re-create the familiar
vegetative pattern seen in this region while the approaching gravel drive remains informal, removing any notion of curbs and
allowing water to infiltrate into the adjacent native grass swales.
The landscape architect paid special attention to the anticipated microclimates created by the home's design. Outdoor living
areas close to the house provide a sense of protection and comfort, transitioning to the agrarian and native environments
through the use of indigenous plants and water. The north courtyard, framed by a U-shaped section of the home, is open to the
sky but protected from the elements. Away from the big view, the courtyard is focused on activities extending from the interior
rooms, including the living room, which connects to the sandstone patio through large floor-to-ceiling glass walls. Anchored by a
rock fireplace and large rectangular seating boulders, the patio is set tight against the home. As it merges into the garden area,
the sandstone floor gradually fractures and becomes a soft carpet of creeping thyme and grass. The perennial cutting garden is
filled with flowers and herbs that bloom from spring through fall.
On the sunny south side, the terrace spans the side of the home, opening to the wide valley landscape beyond. A series of low
rock walls running both perpendicular and parallel to the house help to define the outdoor living spaces. Bold planting strokes of
sun-loving perennials bloom in walled garden beds adjacent to the kitchen and master bedroom doors. A sandstone patio
extension and lawn is meant for play and outdoor entertainment. Beyond, the pond and strategically placed groupings of aspen
and spruce trees provide foreground and structure to the spacious landscape. A lap pool stretches perpendicularly from the
house. Around the edges, tall native grasses, wetlands and then pasture lands spread out across the mountain valley.
Significance | The design of Capitol Valley Ranch possesses underlying principles which meet many of the today's regional issues
of sustainability. The project achieved approval through the rigorous Pitkin County Efficient Building Checklist. Particular areas
of focus include;
Water Cycle - Water consumption, considered one of the West's most significant environmental dilemmas, was
drastically reduced by incorporating low-drip irrigation system that were fed by on-site ponds, for all defined planting
areas. Native plants were selected for their low-water needs and minimal maintenance. Like most agricultural lands in
this area, the property is reliant upon water provided by the seasonally flowing irrigation ditches that crisscross the
ranch lands.
Energy Flows - Unlike many of the recent homes built in the area, this design avoids the use of snowmelt and expansive
areas of highly designed non-permeable driving surfaces. Instead, a decomposed granite arrival court and series of trails
facilitates stormwater infiltration. An on-site, renewable solar system is utilized to offset minimal snow-melt and energy
generation for heating the lap pool, enabling year-round use. Conscious of the valley's migrating patterns, designers
followed the night-sky ordinance by limiting the use of excessive landscape lighting.
Materials Usage - Materials were selected for low maintenance, durability and performance over time. Reclaimed
structural log columns and ceiling beams, in particular, play a prominent role in this home's architectural plan. Rough-timber
fencing and a multi-tiered plant palette supports the residence, providing structure and an interesting
foreground to the long views. It's no coincidence that the newly planted trees look like they've always been there.
From wide swaths of native grasses that move in the wind and "Gro-Low' sumac interspersed here and there, to Rocky
Mountain columbine, larkspur, hosta and wood's rose, each plant was carefully selected and placed to look as if it
sprung up quite naturally.
Land Use & Site Disturbance - In lieu of the traditional means of transitioning between levels through larger, vertical
transitions, the team's collaboration yielded a design which followed the more constant slope of the site. This was
achieved through minor transitions, reducing the amount of cut and full conditions, minimizing overall site disturbance
and enabling all exterior terraces to be constructed on native soil versus requiring compacted fill. This project defines
the notion of successful teamwork; combining our collective imagination and the owners' commitment to preserving
remnants of the agricultural heritage of the valley. The result blurs the boundary between the built and natural

Site Plan: The owners of this property, ranching and open lands enthusiasts, felt strongly that the home should not impose itself
on the surrounding environment, but rather, emerge from it in an organic and respectful manner. This project defines the notion
of successful teamwork, combining the team's collective imagination and desire to recreate the landscape utilizing its natural
systems with the owners' commitment to preserving remnants of the social and agricultural heritage of the valley.
1. Resting on a topographic bench of land overlooking the Capitol Creek Valley – a landscape recognized for its panoramic
mountain views – the home is set low in the landscape, assuming an equal status with the adjacent working ranch land and
capturing the views that surround it. Native grasses and rough‐timber fencing, which was designed to allow for wildlife
migration, provides structure and a fine‐textured foreground to the long views of the mountains.
2. Instead of the traditional approach to larger vertical transitions, grade changes were picked up through a series of smaller 18‐
24" transitions throughout the home and garden, allowing the residence to follow the site's naturally sloped grade and to not
overpower the larger landscape. Ultimately, the landscape design allows for the native landscape to embrace the home, blurring
the lines between the built and natural environment with living spaces that extend to the great outdoors.
3. Like most agricultural lands in this region, the property is reliant upon water provided by the seasonally flowing irrigation
ditches that crisscross the surrounding ranch lands. The ditch was replanted with cottonwood trees and masses of willow and
dogwood to re‐create the familiar vegetative pattern seen in this region while the approaching gravel drive remains informal,
removing any notion of curbs and allowing water to infiltrate into the adjacent native grass swales.
4. Unlike many homes built in the area, this design calls for a permeable, decomposed‐gravel arrival court and avoids the use of
snowmelt and expansive areas of highly designed driving surfaces. An Amur Maple adds a soft texture to the vertical stone
façade of the house while preserving an unobstructed view from the arrival court through the home to the distant pasture.
5. A rectangular boulder, placed vertically, marks the point of transition between the intimate seating area and the transparently
colorful gardens. Light‐colored sandstone, selected for its ability to remain cool in the summer and retain heat in the winter, lays
tightly together in the interior court, separating as it emerges into the garden.
6. Dynamic outdoor living spaces extend into the landscape and provide the owners and their guests the opportunity to enjoy
the Colorado environment. A native stone fireplace and large stone seating benches anchor the sheltered northern space, while
blue hues of Rocky Mountain Columbine, Jacob's Ladder and Larkspur add seasonal color to the space.
7. Working in close collaboration with the architect, the landscape architect studied regional bioclimatic strategies and created a
reciprocal, spatial relationship between the home and its landscape. The design permits mountain breezes to flow through the
heart of the home and allowing passive solar radiation to heat the home during winter months.
8. An informal vegetable, herb and perennial cut flower garden provides the homeowners the opportunity to cultivate their own
fresh vegetables and flowers. Perennial gardens include a rotating seasonal selection of Larkspur (Delphinium x Pacific Giant),
Purple Salvia (Salvia nemorsa 'May Night'), Moonshine Yarrow (Achillea 'Moonshine') and Bellflower (Campanula persicifolia).
9. Vertical punctuation of Larkspur creates visual cues for the extent of the perennial garden. Water shortage, a significant issue
for the state of Colorado, was drastically reduced by incorporating a drip irrigation system, fed by on‐site ponds, for all defined
planting areas.
10. The soft colors and mix of native plant materials take their cues from the subtlety in the surrounding grasslands; the
reflection provides the illusion of a "pastoral painting" set against the home's exterior. Native plants, chosen for their low‐water
needs and minimal maintenance, were selected to provide visual contrast against architectural focal points.
11. Solar panels, nestled amidst the preserved, native landscape, provide enough energy to heat the lap pool for year‐round use.
Unlike traditional application of solar panels where they may appear as an afterthought or a hidden addition, the layout of the
panels are intended to echo the linear patterns of the pool, its paving and adjacent native stone walls.
12. A foreground cluster of Quaking Aspens set in a horizontal swath of native Timothy Grass anchors the view to the lap pool.
The designer's light‐handed approach provides the ability to embrace the greater landscape environment.
13. Detailed photograph of Timothy Grass.
14. Perpendicular to the home, the southwest‐facing lap pool and casual dining terrace extends into the landscape. The dark
bottom of the pool accentuates the reflective nature of the still water while a pink sandstone terrace accommodates a range of
passive and active entertainment activities.

AOL Pulls Plug on Newsgroup Service
PERSPECTIVE The world's largest ISP is cutting off direct access to one of the oldest, coolest -- and strangest -- parts of the Internet.
America Online has quietly announced that it will discontinue providing member access to Usenet newsgroups next month. In recent days, AOL subscribers who access keyword "Newsgroups" are greeted with a pop-up message informing them of the change: "Please Note: The AOL Newsgroup service will be discontinued in early 2005."
According to a notice on AOL's Web site, the newsgroup shut-off will occur in February, severing subscribers from the thousands of discussion groups that make up Usenet.
AOL officials weren't immediately available to explain the newsgroup shutdown. The ISP's pop-up message advises subscribers that newsgroup services are available from third-party providers. The message also notes that users with separate high-speed connections may be able to arrange newsgroup access through their broadband provider. AOL users can read newsgroups over the Web using Google Groups, the message said.
The Usenet dates back to around 1980. Now that blogs and instant messaging have supplanted older Internet technologies such as newsgroups and IRC, it's unlikely that AOL users will create much of an uproar over the decision. But the event nonetheless represents a milestone in Internet history.
The AOL newsgroup shutdown comes almost exactly eleven years after the service first unleashed its members on the Usenet. In early 1994, seasoned newsgroup participants complained of the sudden influx of AOL newbies, who appeared to know little of Usenet etiquette. One dismayed user likened AOL members to drunk drivers on the Information Super Highway.
Others compared the stream of AOL users to freshmen arriving at college in autumn, and described the resulting decline of newsgroup discourse as the Eternal September. Perhaps not coincidentally, the first Usenet spam -- known as the Green Card Lottery spam -- appeared right around the same time.
Besides text-based discussions, Usenet newsgroups today are also used for the distribution of binary data, including images, MP3 music files and software programs. But the technology is much slower and more cumbersome than peer-to-peer networks for accessing such data. As a result, copyright holders and associations such as the RIAA and MPAA have been less aggressive about policing piracy on Usenet.
It's not clear whether such legal issues led to AOL's decision. Last summer, the ISP settled a long-running lawsuit brought by author Harlan Ellison. The science fiction writer had complained that AOL was partly to blame when one of its users posted digital copies of his published work in Usenet newsgroups. AOL argued that, under the DMCA, its liability for the actions of members was limited.
AOL's Usenet implementation was non-standard from the start. The service doesn't allow members to connect directly to its network news transfer protocol (NNTP) servers. Thus, AOL subscribers are forced to use the service's internal and poorly designed newsgroup reader rather than the array of better third-party programs.
But AOL did help to launch scores of local-interest newsgroups known as AOL Neighborhood Newsgroups. The future of those newsgroups, which contain job listings and personals ads, is unknown.
The newsgroups flame wars will certainly continue without the assistance of AOL members. And alt.barney.dinosaur.die.die.die and all the other bizarre newsgroup forums will no doubt survive the loss of participants from the big ISP. But the Usenet will nonetheless become a smaller, less interesting place once AOL turns off its newsgroup servers.

This move was to be expected. They started cutting of features from their Usenet service long ago. For those who no longer have access to their favorite newsgroups - tough luck, folks. I would recommend Usenet.com to you all (www.usenet.com). Forget about all the restrictions of AOL and just get an account with a third-party provider. They are very cheap these days.
"AOL subscribers are forced to use the service's internal and poorly designed newsgroup reader rather than the array of better third-party programs."No, they aren't. You can use, for example, Thunderbird, to access Usenet with an AOL connection. But this sounds like, in addition to discontinuing their antique internal reader, they're also completely taking away all Usenet access, which would include Thunderbird.Unless it is for any of the serious reasons mentioned in the article, I don't see why they would do something so foolish. And it's not even like AOL causes an influx of "n00bs" into Usenet anymore--none of them can probably even figure out where AOL has hidden access (KW: Usenet, and you kind of have to guess or figure that out on your own).
AOL=SOLAOL has got to be the biggest waste of money. The biggest piece of crap on this planet. People complain that Microsoft is a mess...Hate to tell you, but AOL has got them beat by miles.If AOL was to go out of business tomorrow, the world would be a much better place. Maybe their headquarters should have been located in the Tsunami location...
If you guys have never used the web interface of Easynews.com, you're missing out.. AOL is for weenies!
AOL's newsgroup access was an insult to Usenet. All their newsgroups were so censored, they were useless. That is not what Usenet is about. I personally, am glad they are pulling out. My recommendation is to get Usenet provider. I use Newsgroups.com (http://newsgroup.com).
I used to have Gigga news, but they were way too expensive and their tech support treated me like I did not matter. Newsgroups has been really cool so far!
I am very sorry to read about that. The Usenet was my first Internet experience. Its content is very rich. On a daily basis, I go into my favorite newsgroup. I would recommend it to anyone.
You're losing customers faster than a popped balloon loses air, so what do you do? You end a popular service, of course! Soon, AOL will be remembered only as a sad experiment in the history of the internet.
AOL's version of Usenet access is so censored and filtered, there is no point of even using it.
I don't think most of the remaining AOL members care about newsgroups.
eh, it may actually make Usenet usable again...
I hadn't thought of it that way, but you make a great point :)
Having used the newsgroups for a decade plus I have mixed feelings about this. More and more ISP's have dropped newsgroups from the included services of the monthly memberships and it diminishes their value while helping their bottom line.How many of the 20 million AOL subscribers really know what newsgroups are these day?AOL & most ISP's who are becoming more and more a commodity in the marketplace that requires a lower cost to remain competitive. Often meaning they give up something to build profits or find a way to market through it for those same profits. Since newsgroups aren't very good revenue streams for advertising dollars it's easy to guess why this is disappearing.MSN has long since stopped providing newsgroups AOL soon... Whose next?
That is why there are third-party Usenet providers whose only job is to sell Usenet access - uncensored and unrestricted. They can't discontinue that service because it's what they do!

Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes
All Council on Social Work Education programs measure and report student learning outcomes. Students are assessed on their mastery of the competencies that comprise the accreditation standards of the Council on Social Work Education. These competencies are dimensions of social work practice that all social workers are expected to master during their professional training. A measurement benchmark is set by the social work programs for each competency. An assessment score at or above that benchmark is considered by the program to represent mastery of that particular competency. Student learning outcomes for the UW Green Bay/UW Oshkosh Collaborative MSW Program are available here.

Attendance at the North Carolina State Fair was the lowest since 2009, according to figures released Monday by the Fair.
A total of 927,563 people attended the event, which ended Monday. That was down from the 965,297 that attended last year. More than 1 million attended in 2011 and 2010.
The State Fair began opening on Thursday in 2008.
Fair attendance on Friday and Saturday was down more than 11 percent compared to the corresponding days last year. While that may have been partly due to colder nighttime temperatures, Thursday night's dramatic injuries at the Vortex ride probably contributed to the decline, said spokesman Brian Long.
"I do understand that this incident may have given some people pause," Long told the Associated Press.
Attendance Friday was 82,163, a drop of about 10,000 from the previous second Fridays of the Fair run.
And Saturday's attendance of 122,223 was well below the 139,484 from the final Saturday the previous year.

Avalon Consulting, LLC, a leading implementer of Big Data, Web Presence, Content Publishing, and Enterprise Search solutions, today announced record revenue in 2012, representing a 32% year-over-year growth, as it marks its 10 year anniversary in business. Company owners Tom Reidy and Casey Green highlight NoSQL and Big Data implementation capabilities as the key catalysts to Avalon's increased revenue in 2012 and expect the firm to continue rapid growth in 2013. Avalon plans to hire additional senior-level employees with technology skills such as Java development, XML, Hadoop and NoSQL databases in 2013 to further support its growth.
"Our 10 year anniversary and the growth we've experienced in 2012 mark a very exciting time for Avalon," said Tom Reidy, CEO, President and Founder of Avalon Consulting, LLC. "During the recession, when many technology companies were tightening their belts and scaling back, Avalon chose to make strategic business investments. We identified opportunities for growth in the market and made a commitment to further developing our team of architects who can deliver superior technology implementations. As we celebrate 10 years, I am proud of our team and the services we deliver our clients, and excited for the opportunities ahead of us."
Founded in 2003, Avalon has continued to experience growth in its client base, office locations and revenue. Avalon attributed its success to four key pillars - developing a highly focused business model that is centered on ensuring client success; forming a limited number of highly strategic vendor partnerships; expanding an employee base with exceptional senior-level architects and its willingness to invest in training for highly skilled employees in emerging technologies. In addition to the record financial performance, in 2012, Avalon was recognized as MarkLogic Corporation's "Innovator of the Year."
"Avalon Consulting, LLC is a key integration partner for MarkLogic, and the organization's focus on innovation is a valuable asset when identifying customers' requirements and successfully implementing enterprise NoSQL solutions," said David Ponzini, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development at MarkLogic.
Upon its founding, Avalon achieved immediate success through expert implementation of large-scale Enterprise Portals. The company subsequently expanded into deployment of large Web Content Management and Enterprise Search solutions servicing dozens of Fortune 500 clients while being named "Partner of the Year" by Vignette Corporation for three consecutive years. Avalon expanded the number of senior-level architects on staff through hiring of employees instead of using contractors and grew through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat business rather than a reliance on outbound sales. This model allowed Avalon to provide superior quality service at an exceptional value without hassles and pressures that often accompany the engagement of a consulting organization.
Headquartered in Plano, Texas, Avalon also has offices in Washington, D.C. and Austin, Texas and recently opened an office in Chicago. The company services clients across all of North America. In 2012, additional Avalon key accomplishments included:
- Established formal partnership with Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (RHIT); Dr. Sriram Mohan, faculty member of advanced databases, will join the company on sabbatical for a one-year period from August 2013 through July 2014 before returning to RHIT.
- Surpassed five licenses for Avalon's Unified Search Platform (USP), further validating our unique expertise in delivery of elegant Enterprise Search user interfaces. USP is now operating in production against instances of IDOL, Ultraseek, Solr, MarkLogic, and Google Search Appliance.
- Announced early introduction of the Unified Search and Analytics Platform (USAP) for advanced Big Data Analytics solutions that combine structured and unstructured data in one business intelligence solution; filed for provisional patents to protect key innovations within USAP.
- Launched ADEPTCentral as a standalone Learning and Performance Management consulting company that provides expertise to academic, corporate and movement entities.

A strange sense of excitement to hear horns and smell the fresh morning smog. Thankfully the Bandh transportation strike only lasted one day (Source: Dec. 6). Around 10AM we drove to Citta and I began to realize how spoiled I am getting with morning tea and no cell phone, but after counting every other Nepali pedestrian wearing a black face mask I will give up the Kathmandu benefits for California air. I thought I was dreaming as we walked down the narrow European brick streets of Bhaktapur to be welcomed by Prakash for our first visit inside the Citta women's center (Source: Dec. 2). Four flights of narrow, old wooden stairs took us to the production floor and office which measured around 800 square feet. After reading about the women and seeing their photos before we arrived, I felt like a weird distant relative meeting them all for the first time. With Prakash translating, we filmed four of the women's personal stories of coming to work at Citta and we spent a full day working through production details for the Transit Elite Sweater. In the afternoon, a UPS package from Traction Avenue arrived with the Apolis + Rapha labels (Source: Nov. 16). Later we made our way to a local bike shop to meet with a couple members of Nepal's national cycling team and scheduled tomorrow's ride.

Quattro formaggi pizza with grilled corn and scallions
Farro salad
Potato salad with fennel
Lemon and cucumber cocktail
Pizza on the grill? You bet. Think about the best wood-fired pizzas you've had and you get the idea. After workingfor grilled pizza master Mario Batali in New York City, Jeremy Luers brought his pizza-making knowledge to Cincinnati last year via his O'Bryonville restaurant, Enoteca Emilia. Grilling pizza is easier than you think—and no, you won't lose the dough through the grates. Luers says it involves nothing more than a gentle hand and pre-grilling the unadorned dough on both sides before topping it and giving it a final sear. Don't overwork the dough trying to form it into a perfect circle. So what if it's a little misshapen? That gives it rustic appeal and announces it's handmade.
Pizza Dough
(yields six to eight 10-inch pizzas)
4 cups warm water (110 degrees, or warm to touch)
1 Tablespoon dry active yeast
2 teaspoons sugar
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra
2 Tablespoons mild flavored honey
1 Tablespoon kosher salt
10–12 cups "00" flour (a finely milled soft grain flour; you can substitute all-purpose flour)
Mix water, yeast, sugar, and 2 teaspoons of flour. Set in warm spot for 10–15 minutes until foamy. In the bowl of a stand mixer with dough hook, mix the yeast mixture, olive oil, honey, and salt for 30 seconds. Add remaining flour and mix on low until combined. Turn speed to medium and mix until dough becomes elastic. (Squeeze it; it shouldn't stick to your hand. Add a little more flour if it does.) Place in well-oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set in a warm spot. Once it doubles in size, punch it down, knead it for a few seconds, and cut into five-ounce portions. Roll each into a ball, place on a tray, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
To use, let dough sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes. Heat grill to high. On a baking sheet drizzle 2 Tablespoons of olive oil. Press the dough into an 8-inch circle, then place on oiled pan. Remove dough from pan and put directly over the flame or coals, oiled side down. Once top begins to bubble, check the bottom. When it has some good char (but not too much), brush top with a little oil, flip, and repeat.
Quattro Formaggi Pizza
3–4 ears fresh corn (approx. 1 cup grilled corn)
4 scallions, thinly sliced, green part only
2 balls fresh mozzarella (break into coin-size pieces)
6 ounces ricotta cheese (coin-size chunks)
4 ounces Fontal (Italian fontina; available at specialty cheese shops like Krause's in Findlay Market)
A few ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano for grating
Sea salt & pepper to taste
Preheat grill to medium high. Rub corn with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place on the grill. Once the corn starts to char, rotate it every few minutes for even char. When done, place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam for 15 minutes. Uncover and cool. Cut kernels off cob. On pre-grilled dough, spread ricotta and mozzarella, cup corn, and a thin layer of fontina. Place pizza on indirect heat, close lid, and cook 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and the dough has crisped up. Remove from grill. Sprinkle with scallions, salt, and pepper. Grate Parmigiano evenly across, and drizzle with a little olive oil.
Farro Salad "Panzanella Style"
Farro is a nuttier, crunchier cousin to wheat, popular in Italy.
1 ½ cups farro (makes 3 cups when cooked
2 bay leaves
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 Tablespoon salt
¾ cup English cucumber partially peeled & diced (Luers recommends leaving some peel on)
1 ½ cups diced tomato (Luers prefers heirloom varieties)
½ cup thinly sliced red onion
1–2 cloves of garlic, grated on a zester
½ cup packed basil leaves, hand torn
¼ cup celery heart leaves (optional)
1/3 cup sherry vinegar (can substitute red wine or balsamic)
1/2 to 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Place farro in a small pot. Cover with cold water by about an inch. Add bay leaves, garlic, and salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a slow simmer. Make sure water does not drop below the farro. Cook to al dente—a little chewy and starting to burst open. Once cooked, strain and lay out in a thin layer on a baking sheet. Chill. While the farro cools, prepare herbs and vegetables. Lightly salt cucumbers and tomatoes. Place them in a strainer above a bowl. Let sit for 15–30 minutes. Discard liquid. Place farro in a bowl and break up with a spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed (Luers prefers his slightly more acidic).
Potato Fennel Salad
2 pounds fingerling potatoes
2 large or 3 small fennel bulbs, shaved thinly on mandolin (pick and reserve some of the fronds)
4 ounces baby arugula
½ cup grilled lemon vinaigrette (recipe follows)
Salt and pepper to taste
Place potatoes whole in a pot and cover with cold water. Add about a Tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil, and cook until fork tender, approximately 15–20 minutes. Do not over-cook. (The potatoes should have some texture.) Once cooked, strain and place potatoes on a baking sheet and refrigerate until completely cool. Slice in half-inch rounds and place in a bowl. Add shaved fennel. Dress potatoes and fennel with half of the vinaigrette and marinate for 15–30 minutes. Just before serving, add baby arugula, the remaining vinaigrette, salt, and pepper. Lightly toss by hand. Check for seasoning and serve immediately.
Grilled Lemon Vinaigrette
10 lemons (which will yield 3/4 cup juice)
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup drained capers
2 Tablespoons (1 ounce) anchovies (packed in oil)
2 teaspoons grated garlic (on zester)
1 Tablespoon minced shallot
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Halve lemons. Grill over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Remove from grill and set aside until cool enough to handle. Juice them, straining seeds. Place all ingredients except oils in a blender and blend until smooth. Slowly add oils with blender running until all oil is added. Check seasoning. (You can also do this using an immersion blender.)
Lemon-Cucumber Cocktail (a.k.a. Grown Up "Creek Water")
½ cup mint leaves
¼ cup cucumber (for muddling) plus slices for garnish
2 cups gin (Luers is a fan of Plymouth)
2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 cups cucumber-mint simple syrup (recipe follows)
2 cups soda water (can also use Italian sparkling water)
1 lemon thinly sliced (seeds removed) for garnish
In a large pitcher muddle mint and cucumber for a minute or so with 1 cup of the gin. Add remaining gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Chill. When ready to serve add soda water, lemon and cucumber garnish, and stir. Pour into eight glasses filled with ice.
Cucumber-Mint Simple Syrup
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
12 sprigs mint
1 cup seeded and finely diced cucumber
1 whole cardamom
Combine all in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool completely. Strain.

The right Chesapeake to buy: Midstream Partners
The master limited partnership has a far more favorable future.
By Aaron Levitt
The problems facing former energy darling Chesapeake Energy (CHK) certainly do make a good soap opera. From secret hedge funds to the fact that it developed commercial real estate and shopping malls as natural gas prices fell, the inner dealings of CEO Aubrey McClendon should be enough to make investors stay away from CHK.
Corporate governance issues aside, perhaps the most troubling is Chesapeake's financial position. As the company has expanded its portfolio of gas fields and unconventional assets, it has outspent cash flows in 19 of the past 20 years, and its debt has continued to balloon out of control. That outsize debt forced the company to put the "For Sale" on a number of prized properties and assets.
So far, Chesapeake has shopped its 1.5 million acres in the key Permian Basin, as well as a half-million acres in Colorado and Wyoming. The stumbling driller also is on the hunt for a joint-venture partner in the liquids-rich Mississippi Lime basin as it struggles to raise an estimated $10 billion to avoid breaching a loan covenant.
One of the more interesting assets now earmarked for sale is Chesapeake's vast network of pipelines and natural gas storage facilities. For investors, these cash-flow-rich gathering assets could be the best way to play Chesapeake shares.
An infrastructure giant
In a move to appease its new board of directors led by Carl Icahn and raise much-needed cash for operations, Chesapeake recently reported it would sell its entire 45% interest in Chesapeake Midstream Partners LP (CHKM) to private equity firm Global Infrastructure Partners for $2 billion.
Additionally, the former poster child for America's quest for energy independence will sell some mid-continent gathering and processing assets, as well as a pipeline development unit to Chesapeake Midstream for a similar amount. All in all, the deal should net Chesapeake more than $4 billion and put it on track to generate cash proceeds of between $11.5 billion and $14 billion this year.
Aside from raising cash, Chesapeake said these deals would reduce capital spending by nearly $3 billion over the next three years. That's critical because the company continues to struggle to pay for operations. Rising operating costs is one of the main reasons Chesapeake needed to take out a $3 billion bridge loan from investment banks Jefferies (JEF) and Goldman Sachs (GS).
While the deal puts necessary cash in Chesapeake's bank account, the real winner could be GIP and CHKM unitholders. GIP already has a long history with Chesapeake. The infrastructure private equity powerhouse purchased some of the firm's natural gas gathering assets in 2009 for $588 million, and these new pipeline assets will add to GIP's $10 billion worth of gas conduits, electricity plants, ports and airports. According to its website, GIP's various infrastructure investments produce annual revenues of more than $4 billion and employ nearly 12,000 people.
The infrastructure group plans to sell shares in a new fund in order to finance the purchase of Chesapeake's stake in the midstream assets as well as to buy additional pipeline and gathering facilities from the cash-strapped firm. Chesapeake Midstream and GIP expect to buy as much as $500 million in assets from Chesapeake every year over the next decade. That could be a huge win for GIP because these pipeline assets are structured to pay an increasing dividend as profits rise. They basically create a virtual "cash machine" for investors.
Currently, Chesapeake Midstream owns more than 3,900 miles of natural gas gathering pipelines fed by producers such as integrated giant Total (TOT) and Norway's Statoil (STO). Incidentally, the two have been some of the biggest buyers of Chesapeake's unconventional assets over the last few years. The natural gas producer still holds about 1,950 miles of pipelines, which analysts expect GIP and Midstream to purchase over the next few years.
Buying the pipeline player
While the jury is still out on whether the pipeline sale is a good long-term move for Chesapeake, unitholders in Chesapeake Midstream should be jumping for joy.
First, much of the problematic headline risk is gone. No longer are the midstream's units tied to the dual misfortunes of Chesapeake's fiscal and CEO woes. Chesapeake Midstream can now focus on the job of moving energy across the country. As I've pointed out, continued pipeline expansion will be necessary to unlock America's new-found energy bounty, and logistics is the key ingredient when it comes to energy prices.
Second, CHKM is now a member of a stronger team. GIP's vast assortment of infrastructure assets and their underlying cash flows can be used to support the midstream firm. That includes buying additional facilities from its former parent, funding outside deals and building new pipelines. Chesapeake's cash crunch certainly made expansion difficult. Ratings agency S&P recently highlighted concerns relating to CHK's ownership, and CHKM's credit rating was ultimately tied to Chesapeake Energy's junk status. However, many of those concerns have been alleviated.
All of this means it could be time to buy units in the midstream firm. Set up as a master limited partnership, Chesapeake Midstream is required to pay out most of its cash flow as a tax-deferred distribution. Currently, the MLP pays a juicy 6.2% dividend compared with Chesapeake's 1.9% yield. Given all of CHK's cash flow problems and other issues, those dividend payments may not be sticking around, anyway.
More important for investors is the dividend growth story. The partnership has hiked its dividend by nearly 70% over the past year as more assets were added into the tax-advantaged structure. That will only get better as GIP purchases more pipeline, gathering and natural gas storage units. Plus, most of the MLP's assets lie within critical new shale regions like the Marcellus. As these fields ramp up production, that'll help boost Chesapeake Midstream's distributions even more.
It's no wonder why shares of CHKM popped more than 3% on the news of the sale. However, with much of the growth story still ahead and its former owner's problems behind it, now could be the best time to add the MLP to an energy income portfolio.
As of this writing, Aaron Levitt did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Oh my gosh, Tom. You've done it again!
You paint such vivid pictures and this newsletter painted some very nice pictures. But the one that caught me totally off-guard and had me weeping with laughter was the picture that popped into my head on the last 4 sentences.
I saw a white-haired guy in a dressing gown (escapee from an old folks' home?) hiding behind a tree that was way to skinny for even Twiggy to hide behind, while a somewhat desperate stag gives him the leering eye. The stag with the raised eyebrow (if they had such things) giving the fellow the once-over and thinking to himself: "Hmm-m-m-m..."
Too too funny!!!

Finding Jobs for Musicians: NEC's Bridge Worlwide Music ConnectionOne of the premier online databases for job opportunities for musicians is provided by the New England Conservatory of Music. Bridge Worldwide Music Connections is a free service for NEC's students and alumni; annual subscriptions for individuals runs $55, $75 for institutions. This is a must-visit resource for exploring a wide range of opportunities, ranging from performance-based organizations to administrative job openings across every imaginable music-related field. I would highly recommend this not only for professionals and soon-to-be professionals (ie, doe-eyed seniors quivering in their final-school-year headlights), but particularly for those just beginning to explore their undergrad and post-grad education options. You may run across "non-typical" job opportunities that might otherwise elude the radar of the typical conservatory practice-room hermit!
If you have any stories of unusual musical employment detours, please send them to me and i would be happy to pass them along to our readers!
