LUSBY, Md. (AP) - Constellation Energy Nuclear Group says one of two nuclear reactors at the Calvert Cliffs power plant shut down automatically after a malfunction.
Calvert Cliffs spokesman Kory Raftery says valves that feed turbines in Unit 2 unexpectedly shut down Wednesday evening and the reactor was taken offline. He says workers at the southern Maryland plant followed their training and there was no public safety threat.
Raftery says the unit will remain offline while a team investigates why the valves shut down, but it's not clear when they will return to service.
This unit's last unplanned shutdown was in 2010. Unit 1 shut down in 2012 after a control rod unexpectedly dropped into the reactor core.
The plant is located along the Chesapeake Bay near Lusby, about 70 miles south of Baltimore.

Samsung Redefines Flexibility in the Kitchen with New Home Appliance Innovations at 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show
Jan 07, 2013
Samsung Canada's home appliance brand expands award-winning line with new form factors in refrigeration and cooking
"Samsung's award-winning products deliver the flexibility that busy families not only need in the kitchen, but also want," said Warner Doell, V.P. Sales & Marketing, Digital Appliances Business, Samsung Canada. "From our latest four-door refrigerator with unsurpassed fresh food storage, to appliances that open a host of new cooking possibilities, this year's kitchen line from Samsung will especially appeal to those with a passion for entertaining at home."
The Home Entertainer's Ultimate Refrigerator
The 32 cu. ft. capacity Samsung T9000 Four-Door Refrigerator represents the next evolution in refrigerator design, with a new form factor that delivers the most fresh food storage in its class. This sleek refrigerator features a 19.4 cu. ft. capacity French Door refrigerator compartment on top, and a 6.1 cu. ft. compartment on the lower right side, providing an extraordinary 25.5 cu. ft. of fresh food storage. The lower right compartment can also be used as a freezer if desired, and is complemented by a 6.1 cu. ft. freezer on the left side in this unique and versatile design. Imagine the possibilities of using the lower right side compartment as a kid zone, as a prep zone for a special meal, as a centralized storage area for a family member with dietary restrictions, or to replace a separate beverage refrigerator.
In addition to being flexible and stunningly beautiful, this refrigerator also performs. To help ensure optimal temperature and humidity control, as well as performance in each of the fresh food zones, the T9000 has Samsung's Triple Cooling system. This unique cooling technology ensures that commercial grade humidity levels are maintained in the fresh food compartments with the help of two compressors, three evaporators and an array of sensors to keep produce fresher longer.
Finally, only at CES in the Samsung booth, the T9000 LCD is on display, featuring apps to help families stay organized and connected in the kitchen. In particular, the T9000 LCD includes the Evernote app, which allows consumers to share photos, videos, and even recipes with family and friends. The T9000 LCD also includes calendar and weather apps, and more.
The Samsung T9000 Four-Door Refrigerator (Model: RF32FSQDBSR) will be available in late Spring 2013.
First-of-their-Kind Flexible Cooking Solutions
For premium kitchens and high-end renovations, the beautiful and sleek Samsung NE58F9710SR is the first-ever 30" slide-in range with an oven cavity that can be split into two separate compartments, making the cooking experience easier, more efficient and more convenient than ever before. Technologically inspired by Samsung's highly successful FlexDuo Oven, the NE58F9710SR offers new kinds of flexible cooking options that enable families to use the full large 5.8 cu. ft. capacity oven cavity for larger dishes like holiday turkeys, or they can use the Smart Divider to divide the oven into 2.4 cu. ft. and 3.3 cu. ft. top and bottom compartments for smaller items like dinner and dessert. This allows consumers to cook multiple dishes at two different temperatures at the same time with no noticeable aroma transfer. The NE58F9710SR Slide-in range with FlexDuo Oven will be available in June 2013.
Flexible cooking options don't stop there. The Samsung NE597N0PBSR Induction Range – a 2013 CES Innovations Award Honoree – is the first-ever 30" freestanding electric range to feature the FlexCook Zone™ and Samsung Boil Alert™, as well as SteamQuick technology. The FlexCook Zone acts as a full-length bridge element, letting consumers cook large pots and pans across one large induction element without having to worry about incomplete heat distribution. When the bridge element is not in use, it can be used as two separate 9-inch elements. The NE597N0PBSR Induction Range also features intuitive Samsung Boil Alert™ technology, which senses small vibrations as water begins to heat up. When the vibrations reach a certain level, it provides less heat and also notifies consumers with a series of beeps. In the oven cavity, the NE597N0PBSR has a Triple True Convection system that combines a convection oven with a multi-fan system to circulate heat evenly throughout the chamber, resulting in faster and more energy-efficient cooking. Finally, traditional oven cleaning typically requires long periods of high heat, then manually wiping out the charred residue. Samsung's SteamQuick technology requires less time, power and effort. All that is required is one cup of water to clean in just 20 minutes. The Samsung NE597N1PBSR range is available now at fine retailers.
Also a 2013 CES Innovations Award Honoree, the Samsung ME179KFETSR OTR Speed Oven provides everything that busy families need to prepare a home-cooked meal . It is a convection oven for even cooking, a toaster, a broiler, a microwave, and range hood all in one powerful appliance. The Samsung ME179KFETR even makes maintenance easy with the first-of-its-kind Simple Clean Filter, which revolutionizes how consumers change their OTR filter – a task that few realize is necessary to reaching optimal performance from the appliance. The ME179KFETSR also features smart yet practical details like best-in-class LED lighting that rarely requires replacement yet offers superior cooktop illumination and Ceramic Enamel interior for easy cleaning. The ME179KFETSR OTR is available now at fine retailers.
Consumers are invited to follow the Samsung Canada adventure at CES via video, photos and social updates at facebook.com/SamsungCanada or via the Canadian microsite at Samsung.com/ces2013. Canadian design expert Janette Ewen (@Janette_Ewen) will host a video series showcasing the best in design and lifestyle news from behind-the-scenes on the show floor.

Last Wednesday, Breakfast Club of Menifee opened its doors.
This morning my wife and I ate there.
As expected, there was a lot of people there. We managed to get in around 8:30am, and by that time folks were waiting in line. By the time we got out, the waiting list was longer, with folks standing outside, and other folks sitting at the firepit and patio, all waiting to get in.
Overall, we were quite happy with the food and the service, and the prices are very reasonable. In fact, breakfast for two seems to be about the same price we usually end up paying for IHOP or Coco's.
The tables are all covered with cloth, and then covered again with paper, which is nice because they just lay a clean sheet of paper when cleaning off a table instead of wiping it down with a mucky rag.
They had three wide screen televisions that I could see, but I don't think anyone was watching. The noise level inside the dining room was quite high, which could be a positive or a negative depending on how you look at it. The atmosphere was quite lively.
Service was excellent. The servers kept us well attended, very well courteous, kept my coffee filled. Breakfast came out promptly.
The tables are grouped rather tightly together, allowing just barely enough room for servers and customers to get around. As of right now, they still have rented, collapsable chairs, as their permanent chairs have yet to come in. A little girl seated at a table next to us, fell through her chair somehow and hit the floor.
The morning sun tends to shine through the windows, and even with the blinds drawn close, the dining room manages stay rather warm.
Food was very good I thought. I ordered the Southwest Taco Omelette, which had ground beef, lettuce and onions, topped with tomatoes and guacamole. It came with the breakfast potatoes, which I was told was Tracy's own recipe, which has a very fresh taste to it, with very little (or perhaps no), seasoning.
My wife had the apple cinnamon pancakes, which came with the pancakes in small bite sized pieces, and slices of apples. She ordered a side of breakfast sausage, which came in a three count, in the larger size.
They have a patio on the side if you'd like to eat outdoors.
The parking lot in that part of the shopping center has a lot of cars pulling in and out and navigating around now that Breakfast Club of Menifee is open. Once that Hana Sushi opens up, there's going to be a lot of activity.
The side patio has service, however folks seated there were waiting to get in. The restaurant needs a wrought iron gate to around the patio.
Every table was taken inside, and the place was hoppin'
Biscuits and jelly is served while you wait for your meal.
Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
Southwest Taco Omelette, with breakfast potatoes, and sourdough toast. The sausages were a side item my wife ordered.
Still priced in the same ballpark as IHOP, Coco's, or Denny's. The omelette is priced $2.00 less than IHOP.
Breakfast Club of Menifee Now Open
Last Wednesday, Breakfast Club of Menifee opened its doors.

Thank you for keeping us posted on where we can eat good food in Menifee. I like the looks of those pancakes.ReplyDelete

Is concern about price really that important? I am sure the owners of that business invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to give the community a nice place to enjoy breakfast. If we continue to nickle and dime every store we enter, there will be very few stores for us to enjoy. Let's show our appreciation by frequenting this establishment without pinching every penny.ReplyDelete

Awesome coffee and the fresh biscuts melt in your mouth. Service was super, thanks Kim.ReplyDelete
Prices are very fair ( that means we can leave more for a tip ).
I hope this establishment flourishes.

Sorry some people do need to watch the costs of things. I don't see what is wrong with that. I am glad to hear that this place is reasonable.ReplyDelete
Looks like a very nice place to enjoy..and its nice to see the prices..gives one an idea of what to expect....prices are important in our economy and we do pinch every penny...the omelette looks very yummy and I hope the coffee is good.ReplyDelete

I thought that Steve's comments were very correct. The food was great and the price very reasonable. However, the noise level was very high. The chairs were not that comfortable. It was great to hear that the permanent chairs are ordered.ReplyDelete
I do have one question for Steve. Is there a business going into the large, vacant space sharing the outdoor fire place with the Breakfast Club?
- AnonymousJuly 12, 2009 11:02 PM
Absolutely appropriate to talk about price, service & ambiance. We are a community and we appreciate local small businesses who are in tune with our needs here. Thank you Steve. No point in business owners thinking it doesn't matter.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to join up.

We enjoyed our visit. Great service, food was good, was so happy to hear better chairs are on the way. I wish the owners nothing but success. I was in the restaurant business for 40 years . Long hours, sore feet and sometimes very angry patrons. We will be back often glad you are openReplyDelete

We just love this place - have been there every day since they opened! We want to try everything on the menu. The staff are all attentive and friendly. I like that the staff have that All-American-clean cut look.ReplyDelete
Keep up the good work!
PS. B-fast club owners, you may want to take over that place next door! (Remember Carnitas Express? They started as a tiny taco stand in the 80's; now look at them!)

I partly agree with the previous poster, regarding prices. There are some of us the will spend a bit more to get a good meal. Something different and great tasting. not every eatery in Menifee needs to be a cheap 2/$20 place that serves the same old thing. I moved here from OC in 2004 and miss the little independant, good restraunts. I've got $$ to spend in our city, why not let me!ReplyDelete

Visited this morning. We were lucky enough to be seated within 5 minutes. The atmosphere is similar to Pancake House in Temecula. Ordered Vegetarian Omelet, Southwestern Omelet and Banana Pancake to share with my husband. The omelete's were nothing to brag about, they were good but lacked flavor (in my opinion), but the pancake was DELICIOUS!!! The fresh squeezed juice was wonderful as well. I will definitely come back again and again. I wish this new establishment the best of luck!!!ReplyDelete

Well I have to say that my family and I did not have the best experience when we went, one week ago. I have three daughters one infant, a seven year old and a ten year old. First we had to wait for thirty five min, because there is not enough seating. Not only did we have to wait we did it standing! The heat in the front of the menifee breakfast club is almost unbearable. They have a barista bar there which is nice in winter but in the summer at least put a fan or turn up the A/C. So finally we are seated at a table. When I go to rest my arms on it, it sways back and forth. Not a very good situation for a table full of children. So luckily enough a booth opened up. When we got there we took a look at the menu. To my surprise no childrens menu!! Ok whats up with that? So we still stay. I mean we got a seat now right? Smooth sailing! The waitress comes and asks about drinks. We simply say water. After standing in the heat for thirtyfive mins. Then she bounces away to get the water. Twenty mins later we are left tired, thirsty and wondering what the hell we are doing there? So we got up gathered our children and left. In passing standing at the front whoever the man was running the place simply said "sorry". So that nonfamily friendly resturant is diffently not for us. I haven't even tried the food and I will not go back to try.ReplyDelete

My wife and I ate at the Breakfast Club Monday morning and found it to be very nice. I agree, it is not very children friendly and I will probably not take my grandson there but I will take my parents and friends there. It was a very nice surprise when it comes to breakfast for adults and older kids.Friendly staff, news on the TV, good food and a newspaper.ReplyDelete

It's not uncommon to wait for available table at new/good restaurant. I don't know how you can fault them for being too busy. As far as standing to wait for your table. There are 25+ seats right outside of the restaurant next to the fireplace.
Finally, why wait 20 minutes for a drink order? After 10 minutes at the most look for a manager.
This is a new place, lets give them a chance.

No where is there a mention of the Breakfast Clubs' hours of operation. Drove by to see if posted on their door...saw nothing yet! Could someone tell me when they are open/close and if this is a 7-day a week restaurant.ReplyDelete
Thanx in advance!

Wow, I am a little surprised to read such a positive review of this place. I have talked to about 4 different people that have had opposite opinions. I went myself last week and didn't think it was as horrible as I have heard but I also didn't think it was anything special. I would much rather drive a few extra miles to go to Coco's where the staff is nicer & food is better.ReplyDelete
- MelissaJuly 30, 2009 11:21 AM
After reading most of the comments I wonder if the blog owner is not posting the negative feedback. I have heard nothing but bad things about this place but decided to give it a try myself. It wasn't too great. Plus I think I was seated at the same table as one of the "anonymous" writers, isn't this place too new to already have bad wobbly tables? I ordered potatoes & eggs...the eggs were acceptable but the potatoes were very dry & the onions & peppers were pratically raw. I don't see this place staying open longer than 2 years.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 31, 2009 9:17 PM
Thank you for your input, I too am a family man and have to include my kids in restaurant decisions. This is not old dead and tired Sun City, this is a growing family community..if restaurants won't accomodate the majority they will face dire circumstances. It is not as much as the price but the level of service..sounds like they have fallen short.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the details. I especially appreciate the pic of the receipt : )ReplyDelete
I wish people would stop publishing Anonymous, so I can let you know exactly who I'm talking to. Anyway, Anonymous... Yes, Price is really that important! Many of us have budgets to keep, but we still enjoy being able to go out to a restaurant now and then.ReplyDelete

My family and I visited this place yesterday and it was Ok. Slightly better priced than IHOP and about the same as Coco's. The atmosphere is stuffy and tight and the food tasted good - nothing special - similar to Denny's. It should continue to draw people b/c of the lack of choices in Menifee and portion size (People are not going to order cottage cheese and fruit here).ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 31, 2009 10:34 PM
A breakfast place (especially one called Breakfast Club) should be the one place I would assume would be family friendly. I mean who eats formal stuffy breakfasts? I personally dont take my kids to restuarants like Red Lobster etc - because I know its a special treat for me and I would like others to enjoy it as well....but pancakes? Kids love um!! Breakfast should be family friendly! I havent been yet but will be sure to report back when I do!ReplyDelete
My son, Seth and I, have eaten at the Breakfast Club a number of times, and each time has been a positive experience.ReplyDelete

Recent Tiburon Reviews
Absolutely Amazing!
This property is everything it claims to be and more. You have to see it to believe it. Incredible view of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridege out of the master and kitchen windows. I went with my wife and 4 (teenage and above) children. Things got a little crowded in the bathroom at times, but they loved it. We had an amazing time. Walked to Tiburon. Took the ferry to the San Francisco. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer! The furnishings were incredible. The house was immaculate. Everything you need to cook or prepare a meal at home. I hope to return for another getaway with just my wife next time. Thanks Courtney and Sandy for creating a such a stunning home away from home!
Felt like a film star
A superb experience. We are property owners ourselves and have rented privately several times. This property is AMAZING. The pictures don't do it justice. Sandra, the owner is so generous, we couldn't believe how many "extras" there were and the high spec finishes throughout made it truly special. And then there are the views. And I mean views, not view. The villa has been designed and built to take advantage of both incredible views of the city and the Golden Gate Bridge to the south and west, as well as delightful views over Tiburon harbour and north to Mount Tamalpais. This was definitely a place that was difficult to drag ourselves away from - even though the great ferry service to San Francisco was an short ride through the winding streets. Tiburon is a delightful little town too, with a nice selection of restaurants etc. Plan to spend a bit of time here. But plan to spend time at Via Golden Gate too - why leave when you have a truly luxurious and spectacular villa with those views? Can't recommend it highly enough. We'd love to return. Thanks for everything Sandra!
Gorgeous Home with Incredible Views
I rented this house with three couples, as my ex-husband's memorial service was held in Tiburon. My friends came from Boston, Santa Fe and Boulder and I came from France, so we wanted it to be very special. The house exceeded our expectations in every way. It is beautiful, better stocked than any house I have ever rented, with spectacular views from nearly every window. With a HUGE pull down screen and projector TV, where we all watched the Academy Awards and felt like we had front row seats. The view from the upper deck is so incredible, we only went inside when it got dark. This house is about as close to perfection as it gets.

Beefing Up the Bond
Small brokers oppose proposed regs to increase the minimum bond to $100,000 and add other owner-operator protection.
The high-profile case of fraudulent freight middleman Kulwant Singh Gill stunned many for its sheer brazenness. In March, Gill was sentenced to 11 years in prison and ordered to pay restitution to his carrier victims. In the wake of the case, debate over broker fraud got some new legs.
A big part of that debate is H.R. 2357, or the Fighting Fraud in Transportation Act, introduced in Congress last year. It's been included this year in attempts at a multi-year transportation reauthorization bill in the House and Senate. The measure would raise the broker surety bonding minimum requirement from $10,000 – a level that hasn't been changed since the late 1970s – to $100,000.
Moreover, it would impose new requirements on brokers and freight forwarders and the financial services companies that back them. At press time, the two-year MAP-21 Senate legislation that included the bond hike was in a House-Senate conference committee. There, it would be combined with a House-approved temporary extension of current funding levels. New initiatives, like the bond increase, might not survive the committee compromise.
Supporters of the hike, including the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association and the Transportation Intermediaries Association, which represents large and some smaller brokers, say the increased bond would make it more difficult for irresponsible operators to enter the business.
New regulatory requirements would also help ensure prompt payment to owner-operators who utilize brokers. Specifically, surety providers would be required to pay claims no later than 30 days after the 60-day period for submission of claims. They would also have to post public notices of claims and to notify the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in advance of any pending bond cancellation.
The U.S. government would be equipped with the power to take civil actions with penalties against brokers, freight forwarders or surety providers who violate the law.
Detractors object to the cost of higher bonds, roughly $3,000 to $5,000 more for a financially secure operation per year to secure $100,000 coverage. They believe it would kill some legitimate small brokerages. The bond hike would go much further than compensating for inflation – $10,000 in 1980 dollars is roughly $26,000 today.
"Every day we hear from truckers who have been cheated by bad brokers out of compensation for hauling a load," OOIDA says in a policy paper. "Often when we file a claim against a broker's surety bond, $150,000 or more of claims have already been filed against the $10,000 bond." Claims filed in excess of the minimum bond amount are often never paid.
Today's broker regulatory system "was created when there was an Interstate Commerce Commission and there were fewer than 100 brokers in the country," says OOIDA Executive Vice President Todd Spencer. "Deregulation opened the door for anyone to do anything they chose to in trucking, and the lack of any real effective oversight of brokers has created an opportunity that many have taken full advantage of to exploit the system to short truckers."
All too commonly, he adds, brokers offer shippers and truckers "too-good-to-be-true rates" with no intention to pay. He asks, "Is it unreasonable to expect a service provider – a regulated, authorized entity in the motor carrier industry – to have at least the financial security to ensure $100,000 worth of payments to motor carriers?"
Despite the harmony suggested by the bond-increase measure's mutual support from OOIDA and TIA – the nation's most prominent broker association – debate on the issue hasn't exactly been warm and fuzzy.

African penguin Conservation: Oil Spills
Over the last 40 years, the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) has cared for more than 50,000 seabirds. The majority of oiled seabirds are African penguins. This is mostly due their behavior of spending a large amount of time at the sea surface, catching prey by diving and feeding in the same waters as shipping lanes. Based on peer reviewed literature, South Africa is of special interest to studying the effects of oiled seabird cleansing. The country has the world's most successful rehabilitation (proportion of birds known to have have survived at least one month post cleansing) and restoration (proportion of rehabilitated birds attempting to breed post cleansing) of oiled seabirds. The cost of de-oiling African penguins is proving to be one worthwhile conservation method for this species. Other methods includes preventing or reducing oils spills, rapidly evacuating birds from affected areas and determining sources of chronic oil spills.-Pamela Schaller

Sternberg's short presidency was marked with conflict, ranging from his controversial $35,000 contract with a firm to determine why the UW football and men's basketball teams are not competitive, to the resignations of the university's provost, four deans and three associate provosts. Some were asked to resign.
Since his arrival, Sternberg's leadership has been challenged by members of the UW faculty and administration, who generally appeared to disagree with his vision for the university or felt he was making sweeping changes too rapidly.
Those differences are not terribly surprising, given that the UW board hired Sternberg through a secret process that left out the public and gave the University of Wyoming community no chance to meet him, hear about his vision for the university or comment on his candidacy before he was hired.
That secrecy was so important to the UW board that, rather than comply with a court order to reveal the names of the finalists for the UW president's position, board members ran to the Wyoming Legislature for help. The Legislature, in one of its less-than-brilliant moments, blindly complied with the board's wishes, and we now have a law on the books stating that all presidential searches at UW and the state's community colleges can be conducted in secret if that is their boards' wish.
Simultaneously, while all this was going on at the university, the Northwest College Board of Trustees showed how that process can and should be done in public. The names of applicants for the Northwest College president's position were witheld until finalists were chosen, then trustees released the names of the three finalists. The board then arranged two days on campus for each candidate.
Each candidate was the guest at a public reception, and each made presentations on campus. After those presentations, faculty, staff and students at the college were asked to provide their impressions and feedback.
The board also interviewed each candidate in executive session. In addition to its own conclusions, the board weighed the campus feedback in its decision to hire Stefani Hicswa, former president of Miles Community College.
To date, President Hicswa's leadership at the college has been accepted well, and her vision for the college is moving forward. In general, her vision appears to match or dovetail with the goals of the faculty and administration at the college.
Looking at these two situations, one has to ask — was the secrecy at UW worth it?
We emphatically would say no; it came with a high price.
That price includes more than $500,000 paid to Sternberg — more than $200,000 for six months' salary and a payout of $325,000 for Sternberg's resignation that was announced after a nine-hour, closed-door meeting.
The UW board also faces the cost of hiring his replacement and of replacing or rehiring the deans and other administrators who fled or were let go during Sternberg's leadership. Sternberg's departure likely means UW will go through the remainder of the school year without a permanent leader at its helm.
Richard "Dick" McGinity, who was serving as vice president of academic affairs, was named interim president.
It's time now for the Wyoming Legislature to learn from the situation and to repeal the law allowing UW and college presidential searches to be conducted in secrecy. It didn't take long for history to prove that hiring the leader of a public university in secret is a bad policy. It shouldn't happen again.

Doctoral students on campus for ISLE events
This year's ISLE or Intensified Summer Learning Experience brings 125 doctoral students to campus. The event, begun on Friday, June 23, will last nine days, allowing opportunity for students to participate in daily classes and in recreational activities in the evenings.
The event began with orientation at 1:00 on Friday, June 23. Drs. Ruth Cox, George Kersey, Gary Streit, and Jon Burch are teaching Leadership courses for the event. Dr. Kersey is assisted by Corporate Consultant Judy King. Drs. Ed Anthony, Mindy Burch, & Robbie Melton are teaching technology courses. Classes meet from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. with breaks built-in.
"It is a busy week, full of lots of learning and other types of activities," said Ester Swink, an organizer of the event. "It is going well and everyone seems to be enjoying being together."
Outside of the classroom events include a barbeque rib dinner, a Sunday morning worship service led by Dr. Henry Spaulding, a memorial service for former student Jimmy Williams, a reunion of all graduates of the Ed.D. program, and a field trip to downtown
Cohort 6 will have completed all course requirements at the close of this ISLE session after three summers of ISLE and the fulfillment of the three levels of courses in leadership and organizational behavior and in technology. The cohort 6 group of 24 students completed their dissertation symposium presentations Monday, June 26 and will graduate on Saturday, July 1 at a service at 10:30 A.M.
"The graduating cohort is exuberant that they have successfully presented at the dissertation symposium," said Swink.
Doctoral students stay on campus during the event. ISLE participants will return to campus August 19 to conclude the summer leadership course.

Oh look, *more* gear articles....
I'm begining to doubt that our oh so wonderful (can you hear my sarcasm yet) has even begun on *any* of the new bosses, since he is just comepletely avoiding the topic.
These articles are very useful, and not just for fresh 85's, but your timing is poor. First thing people want to know about a new raid tier, is about the new bosses, not old gear.

I personally have never made a dk past level 72, but I'm a wow insider junkie so I still tend to read these despite not playing the class, and I have to say, as some one who doesn't really raid anymore, I enjoy these articles compared to seeing the same boss fights for different classes over and over again. Not saying you dont have a valid point in wanting a dk version of ryolith, just pointing out it's a nice change of pace.

Multiple tornadoes descended on the Dallas area one afternoon in April. Amid the drought and heat wave this year, it's hard to complain about the much-needed rain the tornadoes brought to the Lone Star State. Still, no one was happy about the flooded roads and the chaos that followed. In Dallas, one tornado passed through a Schneider National facility, throwing many-ton trucks into the sky, which then dropped screaming back to earth. Dozens of flights headed for Dallas had to be rerouted to avoid the storms, and more than 100 aircraft took a beating from the twisters.

An elegant solution to get rid of popcorn ceilings
Hi everyone,
I saw number of threads here where people asking advice on how to get rid of ugly popcorn ceilings. One of the options you have is to cover it with Polystyrene ceiling tiles. The best thing is - you don't have to scrape the popcorn - those tiles installed straight on top of popcorn, so your job will be much faster and cleaner (actually there will be no mess at all).
http://talissadecor.com/data/gallery/91.jpg in process
http://talissadecor.com/data/gallery/78.jpg after
Basically all you have to do is to draw straight line and lay the tiles one by one covering the popcorn once and for all.
You can not use staples to fasten these ceiling tiles to drywall.
You must be careful which adhesives you use with polystyrene.
You will have to use far more adhesive to attach to that ceiling with the texture in place and the tiles would stick much better if the popcorn was scraped down and knocked flat.
That said, it does look simple, but it should still be done properly with the proper prep work done before installation to insure the best looking and longest lasting job.
They look nice at $11.98 each. How hard are they to cut?
Say huh? $11.98 each!?:confused: :eek: . So it is like $3000 just for the tiles for one room? harsh toke, man.
I have no clue where did you find those numbers:confused:
They priced at $3.99 per 2.7 sq.ft. tile ($1.48 per sq.ft.)

Millage Rate
Definition of 'Millage Rate'
The amount per $1,000 that is used to calculate taxes on property. Millage rates are most often found in personal property taxes, where the expressed millage rate is multiplied by the total taxable value of the property to arrive at the property taxes due. Millage rates are also used by school boards to calculate local school taxes to be collected, based on a derivation of the total property value within school district boundaries.
Investopedia explains 'Millage Rate'
The term is derived from the root word mill, which means "thousand". Millage rates are often expressed mathematically with the symbol %o, as in 1%o, which is one part per thousand, or 0.1%. Millage rates for individual properties are usually found on the property deed itself.

Georgia's high schools will go through reclassification every two years, as opposed to a four-year-cycle, after a vote by the Georgia High School Association's Executive Committee on Tuesday.
"Everybody saw that it was needed," the GHSA's Ralph Swearngin said. "Obviously, two years is what everybody is used to doing. It had a lot of support after we explained the factors, including the start of so many new schools, and superintendents trying to balance the student population in their attendence zones.
"The bottom line is that we can't guess what is going to happen four years down the road. That's too long."
The GHSA also did the following:
> Approved the region and classification realignments for the next two school years.
> Upheld the appeal of Glascock County, which has been moved from Region 7-B to 7-A.
> Approved GHSA's plans to amend the playoff brackets in Regions 5-8 in Class A for softball, baseball, basketball, and tennis.
What do I think? With the explosive growth of many areas around the state, most notably the metro area, it was the right thing to go back to the two-year cycle. If the four-year cycle was left intact, you could have had some Class AA schools in 2013-14 that should've been in AAAAA.
What do you think about the two-year cycle? And the other approved measures?

January 12th, 2010

Personally I believe a 5 year classification would be appropriate, with only those schools (and really there aren't that many) schools that are added. And with new schools needing time to readjust, going five years would allow them to develop classes, traditions etc. Now if there is a school with a significant size change (more than 25%) they can be shifted without the whole process.

And we wonder why there are so many high school volations that go unnoticed. The GHSA is full of retired coaches that have no administrative experience and are doing nothing but milking the system for a paycheck. It is amazing how much illegal recruiting goes on throughout our high schools in this state. Boosters provide housing, jobs, cars, etc. to families just in order to gain their son or daughters services for 3-4 years. This is becoming more and more of a problem and it is swept under the carpet daily. What a shame!!!!!!!

The GHSA is nothing short of the mafia…they rule over high school athletics like a monarch. They take half the dang gate at playoff games…and for what?… Crappy officials and to pay their ridiculus salaries. They don't do one darn thing to promote the athletes in this state. They don't do one thing to help the coaches of this state. But they sure will fine coaches and schools who dare to speak up about the horrible state of officiating and administration in the GHSA. Then they hide all these fines behind "sportsmanship". They allow private schools to operate with completely diferent rules (read: NO RULES at all) and let them compete against public schools. The GHSA is a complete joke and disaster.

delicious cajun goodness
Last night I whipped up this Cajun Chicken Pasta from The Pioneer Woman aka Ree Drummond and it was to. die. for. Boyfriend and I both loved it so much that I forgot to snap a photo of it. We were also recovering from the smoke incident that resulted from cooking the dish. And the wasp that was flying through our townhouse that resulted from opening all the doors/windows. And the hilarity of my running around with a dish towel trying to swat the wasp out of the house. All that said, taking a picture of our food was the last thing on my mind.
Please try this recipe… but first make sure that your exhaust fan is up to par. If it's anything like the wimpy one in my kitchen, you'll be swatting smoke and wasps out, too. And because I failed at capturing a photo of MY dish, for the sake of my culinary reputation, you can just believe that mine was an exact replica of Ree's. And that's all she wrote.
Just a little insight into where I'd love to be right now… hello, St. Kitts & Nevis. I shall see you (again) in December. (Taken with instagram)

I've come to accept certain inevitable truths about pregnancy. You're bloated, like, 90 percent of the time. Your digestive system is completely out of whack, meaning you have to deal with all sorts of stomach-related unpleasantness that I'll spare you the details of for now (those who have never been with child, that is). You have this weird, painful, stretching sensation as you grow. You feel huge some days, especially after what you'd consider a normal-sized meal in non-pregnant times. Getting dressed in the morning becomes semi-traumatic. Your skin breaks out like it did when you were a pimply teenager. You get winded going up one flight of stairs like you will when you're 80. And some people are just rude enough to stare at your stomach but not offer you a seat on the train.
There is one symptom that's cropped up that I just can't live with, though. In fact, it may just drive me completely over the edge.
I'm suddenly, incessantly, infuriatingly itchy. Not just on my stomach, but all over. It's constant and nagging and I have yet to find anything that really brings me any relief. It makes me feel like a wild cat with fleas or a New Yorker with a bed bug problem or a child with head lice. Translation: It's not fun. And it can make sleep somewhere between elusive and non-existent.
I've asked other moms about this and they all nod knowingly. Oh yeah, they say. I remember that. Itchy all over. It's just pregnancy, dearie. Keep drinking water and slathering lotion all over yourself. It only gets worse!
I've also taken to the Internet, and apart from a few scary warnings that it could be indicative of a more serious problem, the consensus is the same there too. Your skin is drier when you're pregnant, and on top of that it's stretching the way a balloon does just before it's about to pop. Both make you feel like insects are crawling all over you. Oh, the joys of expecting!
I've decided I'm going to start calling myself what my parents named one of their cats: Scratch.
Speaking of scratching, said literature also improbably tells you to avoid doing it or the situation only gets worse. I'm sure they're right, but what kind of idealistic tip is that? What's the alternative: Hopping up and down? Squirming? Rubbing up against a tree? Great advice. Thanks!
What's weird is it seems to get worse when it's raining. I've taken to closing the windows at night and putting on the AC even when it's cool enough to go without. That seems to help. A little.
In the meantime, I'll keep downing bottle after bottle of water and lathering up with lotion a few times a day. I'm even starting to get used to feeling like I have the chicken pox all the time. And I know all this itching and scratching won't be in vain. In the end, when I'm rocking my baby in my arms, I'll look back and realize it will all have been worth it.
What was your most annoying pregnancy symptom?
Image via futurestreet/Flickr
I never had the itching, but I had the heartburn from hell. I had to stop eating ANYTHING acidic for the entire last trimester. That was probably the most annoying symptom. That and the hip and rib discomfort. I couldn't sit still for more than five minutes. Husband wanted to take me out to a movie and I'd always have to decline because I knew I wouldn't make it. I needed my comfy couch and my dozen pillows!
Nausea. I didn't vomit, I just had constant nausea. I was SO happy when the morning sickness passed.
My most annoying (and painful) symptom was for the last couple of months of my pregnancy, it felt like my daughter was resting all her weight on my pubic bone causing severe pain, pressure & the pubic bones actually started to seperate. The only time I felt relief was when I was either sitting or lying down, but as I work as an RN & am on my feet alot, when I was at work, I was in almost constant pain.
Try ice on the itchiest spots. My pregnancy made my ezcema flare for the first time since I was 8. Ice was the only thing that helped
Hip discomfort. I couldn't sleep, and walking hurt. So not fun. But man, my kids are worth it!
Heartburn, hands down. It was hell.
Pregnancy isn't too bad and for what your body is actually doing you are creating a new life!. Women should maybe complain a little less. Its not for long and for most aches and pains apart from itching can actually be reduced and minimized with corrective pregnancy exercise especially back and hip discomforts.
I know some women can have a very hard time and there is nothing you can do about high risk pregnancies in some cases.
I see many clients who have carried multiple pregnancies and complain far less than others who are carrying just one.
Nuh-uh, Lorriane - you do NOT get to minimize ANYONE'S discomfort by saying, "Suck it up, it's not so bad!"

There are high expectations for the digital television (DTV) set market, according to Scottsdale, AZ, U.S.-based analyst firm In-Stat/MDR.
With visible results from the FCC mandate on integrating digital tuners in the U.S., increasing numbers of terrestrial broadcasters in Europe going digital, and the price differential between an analog and digital set coming down to a reasonable level, one can expect great things from this market, the firm reports. As a result, In-Stat/MDR forecasts that DTV set unit shipments will reach 93 million units in 2008, up from 17 million units in 2004. Unit shipments will be spread worldwide, with Asia being the largest of the DTV set markets, it said.
According to Michelle Abraham, a senior analyst with In-Stat/MDR, "There are two important trends in the TV set market today. CRTs are being replaced with flat panels and microdisplays in direct view and rear projection TVs (RPTVs). Digital tuners are being integrated alongside analog tuners in large TV set markets like North America, Europe and Japan."
Ms. Abraham believes that these two trends are opportunities for many companies that are not traditional suppliers of TV sets, like PC manufacturers, to enter the market. They are also creating opportunities for traditional TV set manufacturers to expand and target new markets.
In-Stat/MDR has also found the following in its research:
While the U.S. TV set market will convert to digital because the FCC has mandated it do so, the path to digital is less certain in Europe and Asia. Consumer demand rather than manufacturer supply will be the deciding factor. Eventually, consumer demand will be great enough that manufacturers will stop making analog-only TV sets.
As TV sets move from analog to digital, there are a few new features being integrated into sets in addition to flat panels displays and digital tuners. Connectivity is expanding beyond the traditional analog inputs. Many sets are appearing with DVI or HDMI and 1394 in the North American and Asian markets. The ability to connect sets to a home network will increasingly become popular in countries with high broadband penetration, enabling the download of EPG data, viewing of PC content, and surfing the Web on the sets.
In Europe, the price differential between analog widescreen TVs and idTVs is declining to less than the price of a set-top box. In markets where digital terrestrial boxes are not subsidized, consumers will be more likely to replace their analog set with a digital one.
DTV monitors, particularly flat panel TVs, are selling well in countries without digital terrestrial broadcasting such as China.

The most frequent question that I receive is Where do I start my search for my natural mother?. Sometimes it is followed by a statement something to the effect of I already know what her name is and what age she was when I was born but that is all.
First off, if you have a name you know much more than most adoptees know. With a name, you have a few options depending on when and where your natural mother's parental rights were terminated.
In some states you may be entitled to identifying information from you adoption record from either the court that finalized the adoption or the adoption agency if one was involved. In other states if the natural mother files a waiver of confidentiality or a consent for contact you may be able to receive identifying information. In addition, there are other states that you can petition the court where the adoption was finalized and they will appoint a confidential intermediary who would be allowed access to the information in your adoption record and then would search for and attempt to make contact with your natural family on your behalf.
However, if you have a name you can more than likely complete your search on your own. One way to start would be (if you are comfortable) to post and share the name and age on a reputable adoption mailing list and registries. Don't forget to include where the adoption took place. Many times there are volunteers on these lists or registries who have access to a variety of public record resources and will try to find out where she is now. A few factors is how common the name is and the marital status of the natural mother when the adoptee was born it may or may not be easy to locate her.
You may need to obtain non identifying information regarding your natural family from the court or agency to narrow down the right family. You may also need to search for a marriage license to determine what the last name may be name is now.
If you aren't comfortable posting to a mailing list or registry, find a person you are comfortable with that you can email privately to ask for guidance on your specific situation.

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
Toledoans took to the streets on Sunday to help fight multiple sclerosis.
It was the 24th year for 'Walk MS.'
Walkers and runners started off at the University of Toledo campus and made their way through Ottawa Hills before finishing back at UT.
Organizers hoped to raise 365-thousand dollars for research to find a cure for multiple sclerosis. They also wanted to raise awareness.
"I think MS is not a disease that many people really understand very well. Even the scientists have a difficult time understanding it because the symptoms vary from individual to individual. It is a very hard disease to diagnose as well," said Carla Brady of the MS Society, Northwest Ohio chapter.
A record 19 hundred people registered for this year's event.

Ram Power to Increase Rates 17%
Ram power has received permission from the Nicaraguan government to increase the wholesale electrical rates from its geothermal plant by 17% with increments after that. This is described in their press release.
The press release goes on to say that these rates will be 37% below the average wholesale electricity rates. Unfortunately, there are no real numbers -- just percentages quoted. With most of Nicaragua's electricity coming from petroleum-fired plants, that doesn't sound cheap enough. If Nicaragua wants to become a serious electricity exporter it would seem like it needs to do better. I (also) don't have real numbers but most of Costa Rica's electricity comes from renewable sources.
The tariff increase request was thoroughly reviewed by the Nicaraguan Ministry of Energy and Mines ("MEM"), the Nicaraguan Energy Institute ("INE"), Disnorte-Dissur, a subsidiary of Gas Natural Fenosa (the power purchaser under the power purchase agreement for the Project), and the Nicaragua Energy Cabinet whose recommendation was subsequently acknowledged by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega. The formal documentation implementing the increased tariff is now expected to be registered expeditiously by INE.
not fast enough for you?
By the end of December, the San Jacinto Tizate geothermal plant will be double its current size and producing almost 20% of the country's power at 37% less than the average wholesale price AND they're already doing test drilling for their next plant.
It's still only 2013. The longer term plan was to get rid of the oil fired plants by 2015, replacing them with more geothermal and hydro.
San Jacinto
After reading what's quoted here below, I wonder if the earth-shaking vibrations from the geothermal well at San Jacinto had anything to do with the activity of volcan Telica (see node/18525, 2011/05/19)
"... larger scale geothermal projects known as enhanced geothermal systems have raised serious concerns because these larger power-production projects involve drilling wells down to tens of thousands of feet and fracturing the bedrock so water can be injected to create steam.
"A few years ago, a project in Switzerland was shut down after it caused small earthquakes, and another project in Northern California was also stopped because of similar concerns."
_______from: NY Times, Nov 6, 2012, "Geothermal Designs..." by Alison Gregor
No fears there because
It's not an enhanced geothermal system. Those are actually experimental (and rare) right now. The wells at San Jacinto also aren't nearly that deep.
The project went on-line at the end of December and it is going through a month of testing now.
2012 Renewable Energy
In 2012, forty percent of the electricity consumed in Nicaragua is created from renewable energy with a target of 50% by the end this year 2013 with the hydropower plant in Jinotega and a new wind farm in the southern town of Rivas.
The revised long term goal is 70 percent renewable by 2017 and 93% by 2026.
I realize that
Costa Rica is already 97% renewable power. Nicaragua is racing to catch up. One new geothermal plant isn't suddenly going to make your power competitive, but you're blaming the cheap power for not being even cheaper. And you know the plans are being carried out to get more renewable power, which is why I asked if it wasn't fast enough for you.
There were some expensive cost overruns during development at SJT. I'm thinking some of this is compensation plus it's going to help finance the development of their next plant at Casita-San Cristobal.
It just so happens...

Lighten up your blog
If your blog's background is black (or another dark color) with white text, it doesn't make people want to stay and read. It creates a visual cave experience and can feel uncomfortable to readers.
Seriously. Reading light text on dark background for an extended period of time isn't ideal, and when people remove their eyes from your site, it'll leave them with a visual shadow a for couple of seconds.
White background with dark text is ALWAYS ideal. It might seem too simple but sometimes, simplicity is key.

According to Entertainment Weekly on Jan. 12, the Gecko Brothers have made their return and are taking on vampires in the new TV show, "From Dusk Til Dawn: The Series". It will be aired on the cable channel El Ray and will debut next month.
The series delves even deeper into the vampire fighting and extermination world which originally spawned by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's 1996 film, "From Dusk Til Dawn" which continued further into two more film sequels. It seems Rodriguez was able to explain that there is indeed potential to expand upon the motion picture.
"The film was the short story, this series is the novel. We had a blast making this a rich experience that feels like it can go on and on for seasons".
He even went on to explain that Don Johnson, Wilmer Valderrama, and Robert Patrick will bring brought on board as an interesting cast of co-stars.
The cable channel El Ray, which made its debut last month, is an English speaking channel geared towards the Latin community which includes the male demographic of 18 to 49. The channel is available through Comcast, DirectTV, and Time Warner Cable.
"From Dusk Til Dawn: The Series" debuts on March 11.

"I need a narrow car seat for small car" is a common request. People often need 3 seats to fit into the back seat of their vehicle. Many times these cars are small and it's a challenge.
In this article I'll give you information on 3 seats that should fit the bill for a seat that is narrow. I've picked an infant, convertible and booster seat that don't take up a lot of space.
A popular infant car seat is the Chicco keyfit 30. At 15.4 inches wide, it doesn't take up a lot of room and is a great seat also.
The Chicco Keyfit 30 is designed to be a rear facing seat from a babies weight of 4-30 pounds. This is a great choice for tiny or premature babies because of its insert that allows even the smallest babies to ride snug.
It also has extra EPS foam to protect against side impact forces which are always an issue with smaller cars.
This seat is the choice of many parents because of its width and safety features.
The Chicco Keyfit 30 is a well loved seat having 184 customer reviews on Amazon with an average rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 possible.
It's selling on Amazon today for under $160 and that includes free shipping and returns.
Visit this page for a detailed review of the Chicco Keyfit 30 seat.
The Chicco Keyfit 30
Looking for a booster that is a narrow car seat for small cars? The Britax Parkway is a slim seat that could well be the seat that works for you.
The Parkway is 17 inches wide which should allow for 3 car seats in even small cars. This seat is a front facing booster seat from a child's weight of approximately 40 pounds up to 120 pounds. A child's height would run from 38 inches to 63 inches.
The Britax Parkway Booster Seat
This car seat has the normal Britax safety extras which include side impact protection. There are 110 owner reviews for the Parkway on Amazon giving it a high rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars possible.
The Britax Parkway is selling on Amazon now for under $100 with free shipping and returns.
The Diono Radian R100 Convertible Car Seat
The narrow convertible car seat that is very popular is the Diono Radian R100. Diono is the new company name for Sunshine Kids car seats.
The Diono Radian is slim at 17 inches which is commonly mentioned in the owner reviews. This is a great width for not only fitting 3 car seats in your back seat, but also fits nicely into airplane seats.
The Radian is a very safe, comfortable seat also. It's what's known as a 3 in 1 seat since it serves as a rear facing seat from 5 – 40 pounds, forward facing from 40-65 and then a booster to 100 pounds.
The 3 in 1 seats are popular because it truly could be the only seat you'll ever need.
The downside is these seats are probably not the best seat for any of the 3 categories since a seat can't be the best of everything.
However owners certainly give them high ratings on Amazon.
The Radian is selling for under $200 on Amazon today and you can see owner ratings and more information as well.
The need for a narrow car seat for small car is very common and these are 3 seats that meet the needs for slim seats and also safe and comfortable seats.

A GROWTH AGENDA: Four Goals for a Manufacturing Resurgence in America
This strategy is a blueprint for competitiveness that will unleash the economy and manufacturing's outsized multiplier effect. Importantly, manufacturers' aspirations—the four goals laid out in the pages that follow—are ones that all Americans who want to maintain our country's economic advantage can rally around.

Manufacturers Disappointed with Senate Jobs Bill; Bill Doesn't Go Far Enough to Create Jobs
Exclusion of Tax Extenders for Businesses Deep Concern for Manufacturers
Erin Streeter (202-637-3087)
Washington, DC, 02/22/10 - Following the cloture vote on Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) jobs bill, the National Association of Manufacturers President John Engler issued the following statement:
"Manufacturers have lost more than two million jobs since the recession began in December of 2007, so we are very aware of how critically important the jobs debate is to our economy and overall global competitiveness. We believe any legislation with a goal of creating jobs must have long-term incentives that encourage businesses to invest and create jobs. Government doesn't create jobs, business does.
We support efforts to extend the current Surface Transportation Authorization for one year if this leads to a permanent six-year bill. Creating a level of transportation funding predictability to the states absent a robust multi-year surface transportation authorization and maintaining solvency of the Highway Trust Fund is a priority that will help preserve high wage manufacturing jobs in the transportation materials and equipment supply chain. And, according to a recent report commissioned by the Manufacturers and conducted by the independent Milken Institute, "Jobs for America: Investments and Policies for Economic Growth and Competitiveness," investing in our infrastructure will not only make us more competitive but will create millions of jobs.
We also support the extension of the Build American Bonds program which states and localities have utilized to reduce borrowing costs and continue making capital improvements to infrastructure during a time of economic recession.
However, we are deeply disappointed that the Majority Leader's bill does not include key incentives that we believe will help spur growth and economic activity such as the retroactive extensions of a strengthened R&D tax credit as well as other expired provisions. This credit has expired 14 times since 1981 when it was enacted. We encourage Congress to make the R&D better and permanent as it gives companies a reason to invest in America – 70 percent of the credit goes directly to U.S. wages.
Further, our "Jobs for America" report finds that by increasing the R&D credit by 25 percent and making it permanent, we would boost total employment by 510,000 this decade. To see the full report, visit www.nam.org.
While we are the largest manufacturing economy in the world, the ability of business to compete in a global economy is suffering due to increased costs and regulation. We encourage Congress to consider our proposals and work with us to ensure we maintain our global edge while creating jobs that will help our economy grow.

Imagine you woke up today without any memory of anything negative ever having happened to you. Imagine you could 'let go' of the past completely (true forgiveness). You would have no regrets or grievances and no fear of the future. Now THAT would be living in a state of Grace. Treat every hour as if it's your first and you will find peace. Forgive your enemy. Forgive your teacher, your boss, your significant other. Forgive your body. Forgive your crappy car. Forgive the tedium of your job. And if you really want peace, forgive yourself, which only means to see yourself as God does. Without blame.

This question's the wrong way around. Archaeology is what I do while I wait for the arena queue to pop. I used to alt-tab or read books in the meantime, but I'd never get properly focused on a novel or I'd get jerked back to reality by two guys screaming at me to accept before they have to play double DPS no healer. Archaeology is moving wallpaper, and I'd never for one minute do it for its own sake. The relics and (at the start of the xpac) usable epics are a nice bonus.
You got that right. Archaeology is something I do when I'm waiting for a dungeon queue to pop.
Unless of course I have to farm Basilisk "Livers".
Or Tol Barad dailies.
Or, y'know, organise my bank/guild bank/void storage.
Or alt-tab and read TV Tropes or something.
But once all that more-important stuff is out of the way, you can bet I'm flying around a continent muttering about Night Elf digsites.

The squadron will take over cyber training programs and keeping records, forms and publications. In addition, AFNIC's maintenance functions will move to the 24th Air Force base in Lackland, Texas.
"These changes will allow AFNIC to focus on its core mission, and ultimately make AFNIC the premier Air Force organization providing network integration and engineering services for the Air Force," said Lt. Gen. Michael Basla, vice commander of AFSPC. "Those individuals whose responsibilities are aligned to other units in Air Force Space Command will be in a position to make an even greater impact on the Air Force cyberspace mission."
The Air Force decided to make the changes after a study commissioned last year recommended them.

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
The scenic village of Kandersteg is in a wide valley flanked by grand mountains. It is easily accessible, particularly by train, being on the main line through Switzerland and has connections to Germany, Belgium and Italy.
The two ski areas, Oeschinen and Sunnbühl, are both small, but very friendly and perfect for for beginners and intermediates, with wide, open pistes offering good visibility. The ski pass you need to have for skiing in Kandersteg is valid for both areas. A complimentary sport-bus provides convenient transportation.
Oeschinen is a lovely area based around a mountain lake. There are two cosy restaurants here and the downhill pistes range from easy to fairly difficult. The prepared pistes are 9 km in length and if nature provides too little snow there are snow machines to ensure continuous good skiing conditions. The Kandersteg ski school can be found here.
Delightful Sunnbühl is located at the southern end of the village, a ten minute walk from the Centre. At 2000 metres above sea level, Sunnbühl has easy to medium difficulty downhill pistes. The 6 km of prepared pistes is great for families, as the ski area is quiet and very good for beginners in downhill and snowboarding, with 2 training ski-lifts. For the more experienced, the piste from the plateau to the village is a black rated run. The cable car station is a picturesque restaurant where you can take lunch.
