Unit 1 at Susquehanna Nuclear Plant Shuts Down Safely
BERWICK, Pa., March 4, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Operators at PPL's Susquehanna nuclear plant near Berwick, Luzerne County, Pa., safely shut down Unit 1 early Friday (3/4).
"We need to do maintenance work on a valve in an area of the plant where personnel can perform work only when the reactor is shut down," said Timothy S. Rausch, PPL's chief nuclear officer. "The work will be completed safely and the unit returned to service."
The system containing the valve is one of several that can provide cooling water to the reactor in the unlikely event normal systems became unavailable. All of those other systems had continued to function.
Unit 2 at the Susquehanna plant continues to operate at full power.
The Susquehanna plant, located in Luzerne County about seven miles north of Berwick, is owned jointly by PPL Susquehanna LLC and Allegheny Electric Cooperative Inc. and is operated by PPL Susquehanna.
PPL Susquehanna is one of PPL Corporation's generating facilities. In addition to operating best-in-class utility operations in the United States and the United Kingdom, PPL Corporation (NYSE: PPL), headquartered in Allentown, Pa., owns or controls about 19,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the United States and sells energy in key U.S. markets.

My third and most recent tattoo.
I had such an amazing tattoo artist - she designed it so beautifully and managed to complete it in two and a half slightly pained hours.. Ribs do hurt but no way near as much as coloring.
Thankyou Jacalyn at Korpus, Brunswick
Surprisingly my first attempt at macarons - they were perfect.
Plain macaron with raspberry and white chocolate ganache.. Unfortunately my further attempts are yet to be as successful.
After eight years, I finally settled my soul.. Besides there was no way I could have cleaned my room until I got a dressing table… A new bed… And mattress.. And bookshelf… But at least I now love my room and it's become my haven
My search for my Fernando in my favorite country in the world (Spain) was finally fulfilled, by a sign, just short of a fairytale castle.. Hehe

Sadly posting again (Sorry ;_;) to laugh and actually say Shin posted what I had...
A little harsh Denden but hard to argue certain points.
(Aaaand I log off again...C U in however long it takes EWN to have something that
If you're shocked I'm back. Don't be. I said I'd come back for special occasions to either congratulate people on winning something or laugh at people but I logged on after Dennis said this was...
Fuck you Dennis.

Great start for the Legacy! Well done to Rehm for a great start. Early days :3
EY will be champ forever.
Until EC3 wants it.
Painful end but I like the signs to the future.
You are.
It is Dennis, TDA and you vs Kash, Eddie and Benny with JMan being special guest ref.
The show is late but with good raisins. I'm currently doing some interesting stuff with Shin....
Good news everyone!
We're dividing it into 3 days.
A few have been written and a few are just results since the dumber matches have to be but overall the written ones are fantastic and day 1...
I'm finally free.
Fuck sake.
We'll never win at that ruddy standium.
GG Liverpool. I'd much rather the champions be Blue but it really is hard to say you don't deserve it this season...

Unlucky Wigan...Drawing with Arsenal is impressive.
Sad but not that sad considering it'll be back up eventually :)

Butler and Independence players declared ineligible
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools said yesterday it found three players ineligible at Butler and Independence high schools.
After an investigation by CMS Law Enforcement, one Butler High School varsity football player and one Butler High basketball player were declared ineligible. The students violated a CMS residency rule by falsifying their addresses. A junior varsity football player from Independence High School was also declared ineligible for violating the same CMS residency rule. One of the Butler students has already graduated; the other students who were not at their correct home schools will be sent to the correct schools for the 2008-2009 school year.
CMS did not release the students' names in its press release. According to the CMS communications department, the ineligible players were discovered by tips sent to CMS Law Enforcement. The tip can come in the form of an e-mail, phone call or simply seeing CMS Athletic Director Vicki Hamilton in public and telling her directly. All tips, according to CMS, are investigated.
Superintendent Peter Gorman is scheduled to announce tomorrow at 11:30 am changes in the system's eligibility verification policies. Developing…

The title was last given to Silverstone in 1977. It was revived in its current form as a stop-gap event in 1983 - the schedule for that year had featured a race near Flushing Meadows in New York but the event was cancelled three months before it was due to take place. Organisers at Brands Hatch stepped in to stage a race which was christened the European Grand Prix, as the British Grand Prix had already taken place at Silverstone in July.More »

Women's Basketball Earns First Division I Victory of the Season
Dec. 13, 2003
LOGAN, Utah - It took an overtime period but when the smoke cleared the University of Northern Colorado women's basketball team earned its first Division I victory of the season, with a 73-70 win over Utah State on Saturday afternoon.
The Bears improved to 7-2, while the Aggies dropped to 0-5 on the season. The win was the first for UNC over a Division I opponent in this, the Bears' first season of a four-year move to Division I. Utah State, although a D-I program, is in its first season of basketball since 1986-87, when budget cuts forced the elimination of the program.
The overtime game was the first since UNC beat St. Cloud State 84-80 on Jan. 2, 2003 in Butler-Hancock Hall.
Led by Ali Aird's seven first-half points and USU's obvious size advantage the Aggies were able to dominate the paint in the opening stanza. The Aggies led 22-17 with 5:52 remaining, and it looked as if they would go into the lockerroom with their first halftime lead of the season.
The Bears then countered USU's size with speed and perimeter shooting as they would use a 10-3 run to close the half, up 27-25. UNC was led by freshman forward Heather Barbour's six first-half points on 2-3 from three-point range.
UNC opened the second half where they left off in the first, launching three-pointers at every opportunity. The strategy paid-off as the Bears would hit three from long range to help build their lead to seven midway through the half.
Virginia Jennings and Christina Zdenek would then hit back-to-back three-pointers that sparked a 25-10 run for the Aggies and put them up by eight with 2:56 remaining in the game. UNC would then go on another run as it outscored the Aggies 14-6 to tie the game at 66 at the end of regulation.
UNC's Barbour hit a three-point shot to open overtime and the Bears never looked back as they won 73-70. Aird was the only Aggie to score in overtime as she knocked down two free-throws and a jumper.
"They had way more big guys than we did," said UNC head coach Ron Vlasin. "We figured if we could hit a few threes then maybe we would be able to knock someone off."
Northern Colorado had two players score in double-digits with Elliott notching 24 points and four assists. Barbour added 15 points and six rebounds. Freshman Danielle Hagen added a career-best 13 rebounds.
Utah State was led in scoring by Aird, who notched a game-high 26 points in the contest.
USU tallied its highest field-goal percentage so far this year against the Bears as it shot 40.4 percent for the game. USU also out rebounded its opponent for the fourth-straight game as it recorded 42 rebounds to the Bears' 36.
UNC meanwhile shot 37.5 percent and went 12-39 from beyond the arc for the game. The Bears actually made more three-point baskets (12) than USU attempted (9).
UNC is back in action on Monday night when they play Mesa State in Grand Junction. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.

would be a peachy keen idea
looks so tan in the picture. Did he do undercover work in Tampa during the RNC ??????
Or has he been golfing a lot while Barack campaigns? Someone has to keep the courses in business while the president takes a break.
When liberal anonymous is not around, it appears that "no one" from the left posts here.
Maybe he should focus on fund raising for the city of Chicago and the state of IL – they are broke.
Boo, hoo, hoo! Obama and the Dems are being outspent in 2012. What that means is that the tidal wave of union money is more than offset by business leaders for the first time. In 2008, Obama inundated the airwaves with so many ads that McCain could not respond since he stupidly agreed to the Federal funding of his campaign. Despite having billions funneled to unions (autoworkers, teachers unions, public employee unions) by Obama, they cannot keep pace. Boo hoo hoo.
Rahm (Dead Fish) Emanuel has time for fund raising for Obama when his state and city are in debt up to their eyeballs, the streets of Chicago has more killings than the war in Afghanistan, and the teachers are striking? You can tell where his priorities are. Of course the people of Chicago elected him because they thought there would be more free handouts from Obama that way. One dirty corrupt politician supporting another.
Shouldn't he focus on the Murder issues in Chicago? 15 Homicides in week! They are on track to break 500 in a year.
hoods, hoods, and more hoods. can this gang really be looked at as statesmen? what a farce.
everything they touch turns to crap, and yet the libtards continue to sing their praises. i guess that's affirmative action for you.
To all you hicks in the red states. If you were smart like us, you too could have gang wars, rising taxes, and bankrupt cities and states!
No thanks, Rom, we like our rural poverty, out of wedlock births, high drop out rates, willful ignorance, conspiracy theories, and worship of God, guns, and Hank Williams Jr.
No time to govern; plenty of time for campaigning and golf. Rahm and Barack are cut from the same cloth. Thanks to politicians of their stripe, Chicago, Illinois and the US have seen their best days. It will take years – probably decades – to undo their damage.
The services of this Hebrew errand boy/bagman come at a very high but undisclosed price. The negro and jewish duopoly that run the "hog butcher to the world" will extract a fee worthy of Shylock.
Doesn't your Obama worship a God? Wasn't he conceived out of wedlock, and fathered by a man who married his mother as the second wife? Geesh, worse than a cousin.
Isn't he willfully ignorant about the mess he has created? Hasn't his lack of handling the economy created a lot of poverty? Lots of conspiracy theories plague this man of mystery…is Hank any worse than the New Black Panthers, his loyal supporters?
OK now, 126, expand your fanciful description of one individual to an entire electoral base, and you'll see Hicks's point.
Wonder if there is some quid pro quo going on here. Recently got back from a business trip to Chicago and was shocked at how much infrastructure construction is going on there (especially on the Loop). I wonder if Barry is sending the bacon back to Chicago in exchange for fundraising efforts and other assistance.
Why are Democrats are so incredibly sleazy
Hey, Flyover man, don't ferget my damage. Now, yer Obamma has undid some of it, but my real pieces day raysistance are taking time and real gray hairs on his part to get undidded. Sure, he got bin Ladden and taked us out of Eye-rak, but Eye-rann and the recesshun and Affgannystan is all still hummin' along. That was the talent of my administration. Jes' don't ferget it too soon.
Each of you ought to go see Obama's America 2016. You will reduce even further your estimation of Obama and the liberal support machine…
With the high murder rate in Chicago he should stay in Chicago and solve this major problem
The "Rahmfather" has been pretty busy as of late. He promotes a $55 million "park" to honor the Daleys, who have arguably run Chicago to the brink of financial disaster. His success as mayor now means that children in the public schools of Chicago are about to be tossed "under the bus" by the Chicago Teachers Union who are playing hardball to get the kind of "rollover' they got from Daley. The transit system is dysfunctional. The taxes are extraordinarily high, and are getting higher.
Is it any wonder Emanuel is happy to be in Washington to sing the praises of "Obama?" At least there, he'll get people to kiss his **s and he can forget about the realities of living in a large American city, as mayor, with a lot of serious problems. This is not withstanding a city which shoots more people on a weekend than drunk and distracted drives kill each week!
1:33 – What a shrub. You conveniently overlook the facts that Mike Madigan, Chi-town Dem, has had Illinois by the short hairs for years; Pelosi and Reid and their Demon cohorts had control of Congress since 2006; and Chicago has been under Democrat control for decades. Never let facts get in the way of your hateful bloviating. So like a Dim…, I mean, Democrat.
With Chicago's murder statistics, pension hole, budget deficit and looming teachers' strike Rham had to make a choice on where to best devote his valuable time. It was not even close!
I would think with all the problems in Chicago–possible school strike, financial problems, and most of all the crime rate he would stay in Chicago and try to solve these problems.
Maybe Rahm is positioning himself for something after his next reelection bid. With the way things are going in Chicago, it wont be a walk in the park. I voted for him last time but probably won't again.
So why is Rahmbo letting it go to waste?
Rahmbo fiddles while Chi-town burns.
Rahm is a Wall Street insider, who cashed in big time after he left the Clinton White House. He's a punk politician with a Napoleonic complex. Get lost, you little twerp.
1:31 – you should see boston! certainly getting fed money to do infrastructure projects and bail out the healthcare system that has been left unmanaged and on the brink of bankruptcy while obozo's friend, deval patrick is still governor. but since this is patrick's last term and has since he has further been promised a nice post in the obozo administration should hell freeze over and he gets elected again, expect the fall to come come swiftly the minute the federal tap is turned off.
Rahmbo needs to hire rambo(sylvester stalone) to bring in the expendables crew and clean up the gangs in chicago, they did all kinds of crazy stuff in the movie, chicago gangs would be a cake walk.
So Michelle Obama telling the delegates after her speech to move to get an address in a battleground state and vote. How's that for sleazy?
The dems are worried and broke …..President Obama's advisers fearful that Romney will use his war chest to unleash a bombardment of television ads and ground game to turn out more white, working-class voters.
Nothing like bringing in the R A C E card every chance they get
I hope Romney bombards the heck out of the liberals.

And yet they lead. No convention bounce for Mitt; no veep bounce. Likely because enough voters see through the utter phoniness of the GOP candidate and his Doberman – I mean, running mate. Lies and pandering apparently get you the Republican nomination, but the national election is another story.
Apparently, spending 110% of his energies attacking Chicago's ever-escalating violence (two shootings within three blocks of his former boss's home in little more than a week), its homicide rates and a teachers' union prepared to strike pales to raising money for Obama now.
Chicagoans should be outraged at this news, news that a future challenger should use to get Emanuel fired.

While period cramps may send you cowering back under the covers, it's exercise, not bed rest, that will revive you the most. And yoga is particularly effective in easing your pain.

Here, how to find relief in just five minutes with these simple moves from Cyndi Lee, director of OM yoga in New York City.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm not skeptical simply for the sake of being skeptical, as you are, and with good reason I might add, there are no good videogame movies, Prince of Persia is as close as you can get, and even then it's a shallow muddle of poorly sewn together action.
I'm skeptical because everything I've read, quoted directly below, says big dumb made up anti-lore action movie told from the perspective of only the Alliance, who will be entirely "good guys"(in reality they are morally nuanced) that stomp everyone.
"It's actually not like the great adventure. It's not so much a quest movie. It's more of a war movie. Well, okay, it's absolutely a war movie. Cultures grinding up to a horrible moment where it just all spills over and gets out of control. Less of an adventure party quest-type situation. More of an armies building to an inevitable conclusion type situation."
So war, war, war, war, and I'm guessing the Alliance wins and is just for doing so, sigh.
"While my heart lies with the Horde and Thrall's an interesting character, from a movie making standpoint, a blockbuster movie its a little rough to try and tell it from the perspective of this green looking dude."
This one made me feel crestfallen, in total honesty, because it verifies everything I worried about, a big dumb action flick with some made up new Mary Sue leading the cast.
I love Warcraft, but the lyrics of Blues Traveler's "Run-Around" sum up my emotions quite well
"Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much"

Politics plus Facebook equals no bueno. If you have a Facebook account, and you've logged in at some point during the past few days, you've probably seen some people going at it. Maybe some of your "friends" were thrilled with the election outcome and they gloated, or maybe some of them were pissed and they called everyone "idiots". Either way, safe to say, it didn't bring out everyone's "best self". Lamont Lowe, a high school science teacher in Oklahoma, included.
Not thrilled with the fact that Oklahoma voters passed a measure that ends affirmative action programs in state government, Lowe, who students describe as a "good teacher", wrote: "I live in a state that hates me, hates women... Revoking Affirmative Action is spitting in my face... this is the reason I hate OU sooners & the okc Thunder & everything that represents this racist state!!! Die OKLAHOMA... hope a tornado blows away the capital n all the rednecks in it.!!! "
Like I said, Lowe certainly isn't the only person to go on a political rant on Facebook -- nor will he be the last -- but he probably could have left off the part where he tells Oklahoma to "die". Not exactly exemplary behavior from a teacher.
Being a teacher is a little bit like being in public office -- especially now that social media exists. You kind of have to be on your best behavior whenever in "public". And that means no Facebook messages telling people to die -- even though, surely, Lowe didn't really mean it.
Passion is good. Showing what you care about and how you feel is awesome. And it's great that Lowe, as an educator, is socially active -- that's exactly the kind of thing you want to instill in students. But maybe next time around, word things differently.
Side note: Since the posting, Lowe has apologized, saying: "It was a very, very bad choice of words and I am sorry." (Hear that students? Even your teachers aren't above apologizing!)
What do you think of this?

Excellent call Oklahoma voters! Affirmative action is horrible discrimination that I believe violates that 14th amendment. If we want to move forward as a society wth equal rights for all, affirmative action must go!
Go Oklahoma!
Affirmative Action only creates more discrimination, instead of preventing it. If she thinks that she needs AA in order to succeed, she's not trying hard enough.
I agree with all of the poster ahead of me. It is an outdated program and needs to be done away with.

I put a little away at a time
I cut corners until I can afford it
Save? Who has money to save?
I plan to put it on my credit card and love the benefits of the reward program

This is almost an overshirt, it's so thick. And the acrylic, while relatively soft, isn't without a slight itch. I wear a tee under it and it's super warm. Wore it as a mid layer on the mountain and nearly sweated my balls right off, it's that warm. Great winter shirt, and it looks burly too.

Contemporary Cowboy Art By Gary Morton
Gary began cowboying on different ranches as a teen and ultimately became wagon boss on the historic Bell Ranch in New Mexico. The life of cowboying makes Gary more than familiar with his subjects. "I don't just paint for myself, but to honor the working cowboy." Gary's paintings are realistic, accurate and his attention to detail allows him to be honest to himself and the people he paints.
He has served on many boards throughout his career. He is one of the founding directors of the Working Ranch Cowboys Association and served as Vice-President and President. He remains a WRCA Director and chairman of rules and sanctioning. "I don't just paint for myself, but to honor the working cowboy."
He was on the New Mexico Arts Commission for eight years and served as Chairman. In 1995, Governor Gary Johnson appointed Gary as Director of the Office of Cultural Affairs in Santa Fe.

Je Suis Le Petit Chevalier
An Age Of Wonder
(Shelter Press)
Je Suis le Petit Chevalier is the nom-de-plume of Belgian songstress Felicia Atkinson. While she's done a number of releases under her own name, JSPC came into being early in 2011 and has been haunting stereos ever since. "An Age of Wonder" is her best release yet. On "Fever Dunes," the mood is nostalgic. Simple keyboard loops float in the air around a series of minimal beats. Atkinson's vocals emerge from the mist like a beacon leading you somewhere unknown. There's a sadness in the repeating chords that pulls out fragile emotions from the deep end of the ocean. The pieces ends with the beats picking up steam like a heart racing, eventually overcome by the darkness and left to spiral into the abyss. "The First Forest" picks up where the A-Side leaves off, though with added crunch. Hopeful notes drift out from the washed-out undercurrents of organ and guitar like a distant destination in a sullen landscape. Atkinson is reaching for the top of the mountain as the piece gets more and more oppressive. It's heartbreaking and beautiful, each note carefully considered and left to wallow in the aural murk. "An Age of Wonder" simply goes one step further in proving what a force Felicia Atkinson is. stunning work. - Brad Rose, Experimedia

(Back to: North America, Canada, British Columbia, Coast Mountains)
Mt. Bute, School of Rock.
By Bruce Kay, Canada
In mid-August, Jimmy Martinello, Jay Sinnes, and I flew northwest out of Squamish for the head of Bute Inlet. Once there we transferred for a quick bump to the head of Galleon Creek, below the 6,000′ west buttress of Mt Bute. The next morning saw us simuling and rope-stretching up a few spooky pitches of slab, aiming for a single corner system breaching the lower wall. Numerous pitches put us at our first bivy with glorious views of the Waddington Range and down the Inlet.
Next morning Jay solved our lower crux with some tricky routefinding and mixed free and aid, putting us at a snow patch for rehydration and R&R. We really should have brought a few beers.
Then it was up and over Point Steffannie to bivy 2, below the upper buttress, which had largely been solved by Mike Down and Greg Foweraker on a previous attempt. The following day gave further spectacular granite ridge-climbing, until we tagged the summit in the evening light. We were finally caught by darkness on the descent, at Rat Terrace, where we spent the night in remarkable comfort though occasionally tormented by an enormous, prehistoric pack rat…. (read more)

I'm searching for truth in her eyes
I need to know the purpose
I need a signal to jump ship
before its too late to reverse this.
These feelings that I have are lurking
just beneath the surface. If you decide
that the answer is yes and that you do
want to surf this than I'd be as open as
the world wide web. By using the words in
this poem I am feeding you all that I am.
I hope you deserve it.

"We've always wanted to have a coffee shop in the library,said WLC Director Renata Debska-McWilliams. However, due to problems with plumbing, it has been impossible to get the clearance from Facilities for the construction of an actual coffee shop.
GloriaJean brand coffee, which produces simple and sanitary coffee pods, may be found at the WLC help desk. Hot chocolate, tea and coffee are all available for 75 cents. Next door to the help desk in the language lab conference room is an easily accessible coffee maker which brews the pod into a delicious cup of coffee, right on the spot.
"We can order different flavors and blends of coffee depending on student demand, Debska-McWilliams said. "Our supplier is very flexible with our orders."
In accordance with the sustainability concerns of this campus, students are asked to bring their own travel mugs, as the center doesn't have mugs available. Travel mugs also make sturdier drinking vessels, staying in accordance with library regulations regarding food and beverages in the library.
"The library is a place for studying & coffee is permitted inside the library only in travel mugs with a snap-on lid," said Betsy Busa, circulation associate.
The new WLC, with foreign language videos and magazines, is a comfortable place to drink a cup of good, inexpensive coffee. "We hope to cultivate an area for casual conversation, a meeting space for students where they can practice their language, if they want, Debska-McWilliams said.
Lexi Herman '07 did not know about the coffee sales in Rolvaag. "I'm really excited. Sometimes a cup of coffee at 8 p.m. when the Cage closes is not enough to last until I'm done studying in the library, she said. "I need something to fill the gap.
Neil Hutton '08 has visited the WLC and did not find the atmosphere welcoming. "I visited the facilities. It's intimidating because I'm not in a language class, but I like the idea, he said.

Memo to Mitt Romney: President of the United States isn't really a job you can do by halves.
The Dalai Lama tells his Facebook friends that 'religion is no longer adequate'
In working on my book, I went to Rwanda in 2004 to interview women who had borne children of rape conceived during the genocide. …At the end of my final interview, I asked the woman I was interviewing whether she had any questions. She paused shyly for a moment. "Well," she said, a little hesitantly. "You work in this field of psychology." I nodded. She took a deep breath. "Can you tell me how to love my daughter more?" she asked. "I want to love her so much, and I try my best, but when I look at her I see what happened to me and it interferes." A tear rolled down her cheek, but her tone turned almost fierce, challenging. "Can you tell me how to love my daughter more?" she repeated.
Perhaps Todd Akin has an answer for her.

I actually know this person. I hate to say it but I feel like this election season is going to cost me a lot of friendships, and I'm ok with that because I don't want to associate myself with people who think its ok to bash anyone… black, white, latina, gay, straight, old, young.
This kind of discourse in our country is frightening, and sad.

Despite all the challenges that we face in this new century, what they offered over those three days was more often than not an agenda that was better suited for the last century. It was a rerun. We'd seen it before. You might as well have watched it on a black-and-white TV.
If you didn't DVR it, let me recap it for you. Everything is bad, it's Obama's fault—and Governor Romney is the only one who knows the secret to creating jobs and growing the economy. That was the pitch. There was a lot of talk about hard truths and bold choices, but nobody ever actually bothered to tell you what they were.
—President Obama this morning on the Republican National Convention (via barackobama)
Why I'm Voting for Obama (Version 1)
Because I know people who will post things like this on my facebook wall:
"I would rather have a job, stop gay marriage, and make women give their babies to orphanages than be jobless and violate biblical principles."
As a woman I am terrified of the extreme conservative, bible banging, hypocritical bigots that exist in our nation. It's people like the person who made the statement above that will vote for Mitt Romney, that's SCARY. I know that Obama believes in finding a way to bolster the economy, have equality for my friends, and give women the rights to their own bodies. I know Obama can be a man of faith and embody what that should be without violating the rights of any man or woman. That's the kind of man I want leading my country.

Inventing universes
Back in June, I wrote that new games can be invented spontaneously as you play with a small child, and that somehow, without words (as the child can't speak; my daughter was 16 months old when I first experienced this), the rules of the game, however simple, are agreed upon.
My role in the first game we invented was to make some kind of rhythm (some kind of human beatboxing with hand clapping), to which my daughter would move. The game was about exploring under what circumstances the rhythm would stop, and somehow both I and my daughter knew which those were; I could tell by the way she looked at me that she expected the rhythm to stop just before she did something—and whatever she tried made perfect sense.
There were rules and we were playing by them.
When in Copenhagen, I thought about organized play. Sports, silly game shows on TV, the stock market, art—most things we humans engage in can be seen as organized play. This obviously led me to think in terms of constrained universes of expression (I'm getting sick of typing this phrase, but I can't help it).
So, very small children seem capable of inventing new universes, and they seem to intuitively know the boundaries and rules of them. Adults do this all the time. Do animals?

A two–year old Fairbanks sex assault case involving a 40–year old local man and a teenage girl has now reached an end.
During hearings late Wednesday afternoon,Robert Lajiness was given a TEN YEAR prison term.
Earlier this year, in accordance with a plea agreement, he pled guilty to charges of Third Degree Sexual Assault, and Felony Drug Misconduct in the Fourth Degree.
As part of that plea deal struck with prosecutors, Lajiness must also register as a sex offender for the next 15–years.
Back in August, 2010, Lajiness was indicted on multiple felony charges, including drugs and sex crimes involving a minor child.
Authorities say Lajiness gave alcohol and cocaine to a 14–year–old girl in late January of that year and sexually assaulted the teen while she was incapacitated.
At the time of his arrest, Lajiness was a convicted felon with several prior convictions, some of which were related to drugs and assault.
Meanwhile, another long–running sex abuse case is also set to end during scheduled hearings set for today.
25–year old Quinn Konetski faces 10–years in jail on charges he sexually abused young boys over an extended period of time during the last decade.
During hearings earlier this year, Konetski pleaded guilty to a single count of Second–Degree Sexual Abuse of a Minor.
According to Alaska State Troopers, Konetski molested teenage boys over a two year period.
The alleged abuse came to light in July, 2010 when one of the boys told investigators he had sex with Konetski on about 20 occasions between 2006 and 2008.
The boy also provided troopers with information about three other boys who might have been abused by Konetski.

#009 - Blastoise
Blastoise shoot water from their jets as a form of attack. They firmly plant their feet and weight on the ground before doing so to withstand the recoil.
#585 - Deerling (Winter Form)
Deerling change their appearance depending on the current season. Because of the form change, they can adapt to any season and climate.
(I'm still alive!)
#113 - Chansey
Chansey lay several eggs every day. Their eggs are very nutritious and tasty and Chansey always share their eggs with injured Pokemon that they find.
#533 - Gurdurr
Gurdurr usually carry an I-beam girder in its arms. They use this girder to train their muscles.
#136 - Flareon
Flareon have internal flames that ignite the air they inhale and is expelled as fire. To cool down their body temperature, they fluff out their collar.
Eevee evolves into Flareon with a fire stone.

In The News
Posted By:
Wednesday, February 8, 2012
Gold and silver finished with modest losses following yesterday's jump on the USD
weakness in the wake of Ben Bernanke's testimony before the Senate Budget Committee.
Yesterday, the USD reacted to sobering comments from the Fed Chairman who downplayed
recent employment data, and indicated that the U.S. economy continues to operate
at sub-optimal levels. This kind of talk merely reinforces the possibility that
the door to more monetary easing is open. The EUR-USD breached the 1.32 level, which
had been resistance, and is currently unchanged at 1.3258. As usual, what's bad
for the USD is generally good for precious metals.
Today's main story was Greece and the general flight to safety as the USD moved
broadly higher. Greek troubles were put into high relief following the release of
dismal budget numbers from Greece, whose tax revenue continues to plummet despite
measures to close the budget gap. Just released data show that "Revenues posted
a 7% decline compared with January 2011, while the target that had been set in the
budget provided for an 8.9$ annual increase." The implosion of Greece as an economy
continues before the world's eyes. These latest data points certainly suggest that
Greece will be hard pressed to stop the rot. As has been the case for the last several
days, financial markets continue to wait on the "imminent" accord that will release
the second 130 billion EUR bailout. Without these funds, Greece will most likely
default on March 20th. The implications of a default are unclear, but many commentators
suggest the unintended consequences from such an event would be Lehman-Like.
For anyone interested in the current minutiae related to the Greek negotiations,
Bloomberg has the following piece - Greece Premier Seeks Rescue Consensus Amid Quarrels.
Spot gold prices were off $10.23 at $1,736.42 per troy ounce. Spot silver prices
were down $0.17 at $34.05 per troy ounce. The gold-silver ratio is at 51.03.
Commodities outside precious metals were mostly higher. WTI crude futures were up
$0.58 at $98.99 per barrel, again knocking on the $100 level. Copper futures were
up $0.03 at $3.906, closing in on the $4 per pound level.
Treasuries were essentially unchanged with the yield on the 10-year Treasury at
1.98%. The USD was broadly higher.
There are no significant economic releases scheduled for today.
Other News
Dow Jones is reporting that the ECB will make its final decision on whether to take
part in reducing Greece's debt burden. The ECB represents the largest public creditor
for Greece and its participation in a debt writedown is largely seen as neccessary
if Greece's debt burden is to become manageable.
San Francisco Fed President John Williams said that more bond buying, also known
as QE3, should be provided if the economic recovery falters. This jives well with
Ben Bernanke's recent congressional testimony.
S&P downgraded CME Group (CME) to AA- from AA, and left the outlook at negative.
The fallout from the October 31st bankruptcy of MF Global continues. Shares of CME
are not showing any negative reaction, up $6.97 at $283.02 per share.

"This game is just as important as those other games [they host the Miami Heat on Wednesday, the Chicago Bulls on Friday and the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 5.]," Joe Johnson said at Monday morning's shootaround of the Magic, who the Nets have already beaten three times this season. "This could be a springboard into something special. We want to take care of home court and we gotta start with Orlando and those other games, we'll worry about them when they come."

Staying Green at the Eco-Hotel Lalla Mira in Essaouira, Morocco
Skirting a quiet harbor on the Atlantic coast, the postcard-pretty town of Essaouira has attracted visitors since Phoenicians arrived in the 7th century B.C. Orson Welles lived and worked here in the late 1940s, filming Othello in its medina. Now you can experience Essaouira in a new and simultaneously ancient way. The town's oldest hammam has been converted into the eco-hotel Lalla Mira—a clever blend of European style, Moroccan tradition, and German engineering. Here, natural materials, solar heating, water recycling—and a restaurant that serves its own organically grown produce—live up to the name Essaouira (which means "well-designed" in Arabic). The rooms are cozy, spacious (especially the mini-suites), and remarkably affordable.

DEC, 2011 Premium Article Benno Raeber, a Principal at Prime Advisory Group, a family office, describes his firm as "essentially a risk management group." With offices in Zurich, the Bahamas, and Ireland, the firm serves mostly five large clients, two of which reside in LatAm, while the others have invested or are looking to invest there, specifically in Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. Distilling what he sees as the main trend in the region in terms of managing risk, he says that, important as liquidity no doubt is, investors care more about control and tangibility.

Nike Dunk Low GS "Year of the Snake" Black/Silver
We got a look at a snake-inspired Nike Dunk Low GS in a Black/White colorway yesterday, and it looks like another colorway for this Dunk Low GS has surfaced. This version is in a color combination of black and metallic silver. Unlike the previous colorway that has snake print throughout the shoe, this version will have a subtle approach to it and will only have snake print from the Swoosh.
Gold hints from the Swoosh and branding gives the right amount of contrast the sneaker needs. Expect these to hit NSW accounts sometime next year. Stay tuned to TSG for the latest updates.

Gino Fano's son Ugo
Cassidy, David C. (2001) Gino Fano's son Ugo. In: Robert J. Bumcrot Festschrift, 11 May 2001, Hofstra University.
Full text available as:
While reading the impressive list of Bob's wide-ranging areas of interest in the symposium announcement, the name Gino Fano immediately caught my attention. Several visitors to Werner Heisenberg's Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Leipzig during the mid-1930s had come from Enrico Fermi's institute in Rome. One of these was an Italian postdoc in nuclear physics named Ugo Fano. I wondered if he was related to Gino Fano and, if so, what I could learn about Ugo's work and about what had happened to both Gino and Ugo during those difficult times.
