Request: Halo 4 Green and Blue Piano sheetSubmitted by blazermania313 on Wed, 04/01/2015 - 18:57
I was wondering if anyone is willing to transcribe the piano sheet music to "Green and Blue" from Halo 4? It is the emotional piano song at the end of Halo 4 and I can't find the sheet music anywhere.

Destiny: What's In A NameSubmitted by narcogen on Fri, 10/17/2014 - 21:54
We've had Destiny awhile now, and I've been playing it as much as I can. I've finished the story, and I'm enjoying leveling up my three Guardians quite a bit. I'm having fun and I feel I've gotten my money's worth, but there are still a lot of things about the game that I think are worth notice-- things that may challenge the expectations of gamers coming from shooters, those coming from MMOs and RPGs, and those coming to the game straight from Halo.
One of these is how Destiny throws so many names at you in such a short time it feels like we've been hit in the face with Bungie' little black book of aliens. In comparison, here are all of the times that the aliens that comprise the Covenant are mentioned within the transcripts of Halo 1, taken from HBO:
Truth and Reconciliation
CORTANA: Captain! Hunters!
Silent Cartographer
CORTANA: Chief, Bravo 22 was bringing us some heavy weapons. After I saw we were up against Hunters, I thought you could use them.
343 Guilty Spark
SARGE: Looks like a Covenant patrol. Badass elite units, all KIA.
That is it. All the mentions of Halo's iconic enemy types that occur within the game's official transcript. The player encounters Elites, Grunts, and Jackals all before any character ever names them, and it's arguable that Sniper Sergeant's reference to "elite" is as an adjective and not a proper noun-- after all, at this point even he doesn't have a name. Hunters, for some reason, get special attention from Cortana, as they are called out by name at the end of their first appearance in Truth and Reconciliation, and then namechecked again midway through the next level, Silent Cartographer.
If players knew the names of these units, it came from the manual, from Bungie's website or fan websites, from gaming press, or Bungie's own PR. The game itself is practically silent on the subject. And why shouldn't it be? The Master Chief has been at war with the Covenant for quite awhile. The UNSC has been at war with them for four decades. The player doesn't know either of those things, either, without reading external material like the novels, but the point is that no time is wasted telling the characters things they already know just for the benefit of the player, especially when it is relevant to the greater context but not immediately relevant to the action at hand.
Contrast that to Destiny, which tosses out both names of enemy factions (Fallen, Hive, Vex and Cabal) as well as subfactions (House of Winter, House of Devils, Hezen Corrective, Virgo Prohibition, Hidden Swarm, Dust Giants, Blind Legion) and the names of individual enemies (Sepiks Prime, Draksis, Riksis, Aksor, Bracus Tho'ourg, Bracus Tha'aurn, Valus Ta'Aurc, and many others. It's not so much assumed that we already know these (they are mentioned in briefings as well as in the Grimoire) as it is assumed that it means something. It's even harder to make these enemies and their defeats mean something when they can be repeated infinitely-- and not just the way Halo missions are repeated. Campaign levels in Halo are repeated by looping the same moment in time. Each time you choose a level, you're returning to a fixed point within a linear story and repeating the general events, while changing only the details.
This is not the case in Destiny. In Destiny, you can defeat a boss, pick up some loot he drops, like boots or a gun, and then put on those boots and use that gun to fight the same guy a second time. You're not repeating a fixed point within the story, the moment when that boss character was finally defeated, even though the intro and outro sequences of story missions try to treat it that way. You're performing similar actions at a different time, as evidenced by the fact that you still have the boots and the gun from the first fight when you start the second. Like it or not, Destiny's loot stream enforces continuity on the coop nature of the campaign. It makes we wonder why Bungie didn't stop naming things with types, instead of individual names. It invites heckling to hear the Vanguard talk about how Sepiks Prime cast a shadow over the city and now it's great he's gone when I know he'll be back in five minutes. If it was just a Prime Servitor, a thing the Fallen keep bringing back into position because it's important and necessary for them, then I could get behind it. Same for all the other leaders-- I'll buy that promotion from within means that for every target we take out, eventually someone else will take his place.
It wasn't until Halo 2 that we knew the name of any individual enemies in the Covenant, and that was when he became a playable character-- the Arbiter. Later, we grew familiar with two boss characters, Truth and Tartarus, and another NPC, Gravemind. Before that, the game was basically the Master Chief, Cortana, 343 Guilty Spark, Captain Keyes, and a crowd of semi-anonymous marines and targets. Individual enemies in Destiny have no role within the story except as targets, unlike the Arbiter, the Prophet of Truth, and Tartarus. Why do they have names? Why do we need to know what those names are, especially when the factional similiarities between individual names is so strong, as well as the nature of each name so arbitrary, that it becomes difficult to tell them apart even after several plays?
Players in Destiny spend as much time with their Ghost as the Master Chief does with Cortana, but while the part got big-name casting, the character itself doesn't have a name, unlike many of the enemies he helps us fight. This is another area where the coop nature of the Destiny experience collides with the needs of a traditional linear narrative. Is the Ghost voiced by Peter Dinklage "our" Ghost or everybody's Ghost? NPCs in the Tower also have their own Ghosts, but we never hear them speak. Would they also sound like Peter Dinklage? This is complicated by the fact that Destiny cutscenes, even when playing story mode with a fireteam of four, only show the avatar of the current player. So each guardian appears to be interacting with their own Ghost and NPCs alone during cutscenes-- fireteam members disappear and reappear magically for reasons I don't think can be justified technically or narratively. This is a big step backwards from Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST, where squadmates function together both as part of the story and as part of the action.

Salvatori To Continue Composing For BungieSubmitted by narcogen on Wed, 08/06/2014 - 11:47
Fans of previous Bungie franchises like Halo and Myth were surprised earlier this year by the termination of the employment of composer Martin O'Donnell as the studio's Audio Department director, and the subsequent lawsuit he brought against the studio's president, Harold Ryan, for unpaid vacation and penalties. That lawsuit was recently settled.
What remained unresolved was the musical future of Bungie's newest franchise, Destiny, the soundtrack for which was the product of O'Donnell and longtime collaborator Michael Salvatori. The two worked together at Bungie on the soundtrack for five Halo games, and before joining Bungie also did the soundtrack for Bungie's RTS series, Myth, as Total Audio.
No official statement came either from Bungie or from O'Donnell regarding Salvatori. Fans wondered whether he would remain at Bungie and continue working on Destiny, or would he also depart, perhaps to join O'Donnell on some new project.
Contacted through his official website, his representative Lisa Ramirez responded to our inquiry about Salvatori's plans:
Reflections On The Destiny BetaSubmitted by narcogen on Sat, 08/02/2014 - 01:14
Dumping on Story
I've seen this for Destiny as well as Halo before it... accusations of being silly, derivative, and obscure, and I don't really understand it. Some of it seems to come from those who either don't want any story in their shooters and so don't pay attention to it, or those who are used to the kind of depth you get in an RPG and are put off by things drawn with a broad brush. The Halo series supplemented its backstory with the novelizations, whereas Marathon and Myth used the in-game terminals and journal entries, respectively. I have high hopes that the Grimoire cards you get in-game and then view on Bungie.net will be the best of both worlds here, allowing those who want to explore the world in-depth a chance to do so without overburdening the game with backstory during gameplay or through traditional cutscenes.

RPG Elements In Destiny Will Keep Players Coming BackSubmitted by narcogen on Fri, 12/13/2013 - 21:27
...at least that's what Bungie's lead investment designer on Destiny, Tyson "Ferrex" Green, is counting on. Watch this GameInformer interview to see him talk about what Bungie has learned from other games and where they are striking out on their own.
GameInformer Answers Its Own QuestionSubmitted by narcogen on Wed, 12/11/2013 - 22:10
For years now I've speculated that Bungie became independent from Microsoft in 2007 because the studio wanted to make games that weren't Halo but Microsoft wanted no part of that. This conclusion seemed (to me, anyway) to be strongly supported by the spinoff deal that set Bungie free in exchange (at least in part) for Microsoft keeping the Halo franchise. Any lingering doubts I'd suggest were expunged by Jason Jones in his last interview with Game Informer:
GI: Before Destiny, your team had been working on Halo for a long time. What prompted the move?
JJ: You already answered your own question.
There you have it. Incidentally, the interview has some other good information about Destiny, the difference between story and world-building, and other stuff. I'm waiting to see if they ask him about whether Destiny will have a Body Count... I mean, Slayer mode.

Joe Staten To Leave BungieSubmitted by narcogen on Tue, 09/24/2013 - 23:07
Well, I have to say this comes as somewhat of a shocking surprise. Of course Bungie undergoes turnover like any other organization-- the bigger it is, the more churn it has.
Fan community members I've known have gone to work for Bungie. Some have moved on, others are still there. Some Bungie employees, even founders, moved on when the studio was bought by Microsoft. Some moved on when it became independent. For the most part, Bungie maintains the "Bungie Way" even as old faces leave and new ones arrive.
Still, this one stings. Joseph Staten is leaving Bungie after fifteen years. He's been with Bungie since the Myth days. He will be Mythed.
Staten's last four years at Bungie have been spent working on Destiny, so no doubt his influence will be felt there, not only by those playing the first installment next year, but by those who play in that world over the next decade. What then?
I think it's a perfect time for Bungie to find out what Greg Kirkpatrick has been up to-- just in time to tool up for making a new Marathon game.

I've added a gallery of screen captures from Bungie's GDC 2013 presentation. Whenever possible I've left out concept art and other images that have previously been released, focusing on presentation slides and other materials that have not been seen before.

Bungie's latest Mail Sack is up. Here's a highlight:
MastaSin In Destiny, can we play as the aliens or are we locked to the human race? And if we are, why are we locked to the human race? What's the reason?
Deej Not all of the aliens in Destiny are evil, just like not all humans are good. We've barely scratched the surface on the character and customization options you'll have access to in Destiny, but we're not going to dig in any deeper today.
I believe one of the early IGN stories seemed to indicate that players would only be humans, but this seems to cast a bit of doubt.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Wyle has been awarded a contract worth $4.6 million to provide engineering analyses for the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology's Department of Systems Engineering and Management located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.
The award was made by the Defense Technical Information Center in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory's Reliability Information Analysis Center.
Wyle will focus on cost factors influencing the life cycle cost of military aircraft systems that utilize composite materials. The Air Force has set composites affordability as a critical initiative and one key Wyle research area includes delamination as a mode of failure in composites materials.
"Wyle has extensive experience in providing engineering analyses using structured engineering and testing approaches in the development, implementation and execution of logistic, sustainment and acquisition," said Roger Wood, Wyle's program manager.
The company also will assess operation and support/sustainment strategies based on projected system and subsystem reliability including analysis of data such as meantime between repair, meantime between failure rates, and level of availability. Wyle experts will use this data to provide detailed investigations and analyses to address reliability, modes and patterns, safety/risk areas and support issues, such as parts obsolescence and training.
"Wyle is eager to work with the U.S. Air Force's Institute of Technology," said Wood. "Our company culture will allow us to produce meaningful contributions at this multi-disciplinary academic organization to achieve integrated solutions to U.S. Air Force challenges."

Porter + Frye review (msp)
From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, we felt like Porter + Frye was thrilled to have us there. We were seated at a table in a tucked away corner under five gorgeous chandeliers, where we could view the entire dining room. The service was really warm and personable, engaging and yet somehow invisible (until we started chatting up the delightful water girl). Chef Brown even came out to say hello and congratulations, and at the end of the meal gave me a personal tour of the kitchen. The power of a nice note in the OpenTable comments area cannot be underestimated.
We started with the charred tuna appetizer (see photo) with shishito peppers—these peppers weren't hot but rather bright and tangy. Combined with preserved lemons they totally refreshed what is usually a predictable restaurant dish. We also shared the Berkshire terrine (see photo- it's covered in a super-thin layer of what is probably lard), and this slice of pork heaven pretty much melted in your mouth but was contrasted with spicy mustard (although I didn't get much of a violet note) and smoked raisin preserves.
On to soup. Two of us had the celery bisque with roasted wild rice and some bits of pork belly, and two had the French onion soup, which was presented as poured over some onion petals (see photo). There were smears of gruyere and roasted onion puree around the walls of the bowl. It was just deconstructed in a clever way—probably a bit pretentious for some, but we enjoyed it. You don't know what a big deal it was for me to order celery soup…. I cannot stand raw celery, and even have to mince it up super-finely to cook with it… but for the evening I decided to suspend my culinary disbeliefs and see what Steven Brown could do to change my mind. It was really amazing.
We received a bonus course. Butternut squash agnolotti, powdered bacon, truffle and shiso leaf (see photo). I realized that I had never actually eaten a slice of real truffle before, and it was beautiful…. Seriously, my eyes watered.
Entrees came. I (at the direction of our waiter) had the grilled swordfish—more truffle slices, yippee! It was really moist and well-cooked. CG had the lamb and lamb chop (see photo), with pickled hen of the woods mushrooms (I didn't like them, but I am picky about my pickles—CG liked them a lot). The lamb chop was slow and just about melted in my mouth. The other part was actually slow-braised lamb neck that had a really delicious deep flavor. One of our companions had the walleye, and said it was really good although not what she expected (and I could not get her to elaborate more on that), and the other one had the veal breast and tenderloin. He also enjoyed it- said it was better than what his grandmother used to make. I tried the veal and liked it a lot, although I did not like the accompanying chestnuts (I find all chestnuts mealy and dry).
We had two plates to share at the table- the gnocchi (see photo), which were delicious for potato gnocchi (but I have to admit we are bigger fans of the Parisian gnocchi served at Bouchon or 112 Eatery), and the hot potato salad—the egg crusted in potato was so good, that I secretly wanted to not share it with the remainder of the table. Great balance of spicy and sweet.
The chef sent out an intermezzo of pear-chamomile sorbet atop ground toffee with a praline garnish, and it was a perfect palate cleanser.
CG and I ordered coffee and the coconut panna cotta (see photo). It was full of coconut flavor and the passionfruit sauce was a perfect tart foil. Also a suspension of my culinary disbeliefs as I usually HATE panna cotta, flan, and all other desserts of a gelatinous consistency. I do love coconut, however, and they did a wonderful job.
We actually audibly groaned when the mignardise came, we were so full. Nine tiny bite-sized desserts that we ate before I could even take a picture. You can only view the wreckage. I want them to be a surprise to you, because I think this is a great new restaurant in the TC and I think some mystery should remain. The price wasn't even half of what we spent at Tru in Chicago, and that was for four of us, including a bottle of wine and a cocktail for each of us. For a special evening this is one of the best experiences I've ever had.
I can vouch for the friendliness of this place-- my partner and I stopped in for drinks before a performance at Orchestra Hall a few weeks ago, and every person we interacted with treated us as if they were tickled pink that we had chosen P + F for our cocktails. (And what cocktails... they had a wonderful list and I wanted to try them all.) I'm pumping to go here for my b-day to get the full experience. It sounds wonderful. Thanks for the review!
Our visit to P&F was good althought we dont consider it in the category of elite restaurants in the Twin Cities. See our review...
re: MSP Foodies
All the dishes you liked were the ones we happened to have had, and we didn't have any of the ones you didn't like. I also didn't feel the prices were exorbitant in the least. For all four of us the total was $325, and that included a cocktail for each and a bottle of wine for the table (a Qupe for 38$ which we felt was surprisingly reasonable and quite good), along with all the food described above.
Enjoyed your review.
re: cheeseguysgirl
Our visit to Porter and Frye on Tuesday was great and not so great. Great were the food, cocktails and dining room service. Not so great was the wine list (they were out of our first two choices, how does that happen in a new restaurant?) and truly the worst was the overwhelming love fest that we experienced from the host, it was way too much, it put us on the defensive immediately---it was like she was desperate for business. Cool it, the food and service in the dining room will carry this place far!
We tried Porter and Frye for dinner last night. We wanted a "dress up" sort of place and Porter and Frye certainly worked well for that - there were plenty of other people in dresses and heels. Some aspects of the space are really nice (like the booth for two that we sat in for dinner), but other things feel a bit off (the lights were a little too bright in the center of the dining room and the entrance upstairs feels awkward - you can come in from the hotel or the street, but neither really feel "right"). Overall the service was fine and helpful, but both the hostess and the waitress seemed somewhat inexperienced.
Now on to the most important part - the food. To start we had the hot potato salad and the arugula salad. The hot potato salad was delicious! The egg, potatoes, bacon and vinegar were great and cut nicely with frissee. The arugula salad had a black pepper citrus dressing and was served with golden beets and kumquat. This part of the salad was great, but the initial presentation also involved the greens being partially wrapped in a curl of bagette dusted with parmesean cheese which I did not really like. It looked cool, but I thought the bread and cheese detracted from the otherwise nice clean and interesting citrus and pepper flavors and made the salad okay, but not great.
For entrees we had the tenderloin with potatoes, mushrooms and onion ring and the swordfish with salsify, apple butter and truffles. The steak was flavorful and tender - kind of a classic done well. The swordfish was a great combination of tender fish, earthiness and a touch of sweetness. For dessert we had lemon baba with blueberry ice cream and chevre cheesecake with strawberries and rhubarb. The lemon baba got raves and the bite of blueberry ice cream I tried was good. The flavor of the chevre cheesecake was good (nice and tangy from the goat cheese and rhubarb balanced nicely with the sweetness), but it was too dense. I have had goat cheese cheesecake before that was much lighter (and better).
Overall, I would say it was good with some definite highlights (hot potato salad and swordfish), but just enough things were a little off to make it not quite as good as it seems to have the potential to be.
re: LauraB
I went there recently just wanting to have an appetizer- noticed onion rings on the menu and asked if they were really something special compared to the average onion ring. I guess I was hoping they would be since this place seems to be doing food that sets the bar higher. I got a plate of 5 massively thick onion rings stacked up. The size was too large to really enjoy them, since once you cut into one the breading completely detached from it. They came with an interesting dipping sauce , a horseradish cream type sauce, but overall I didn't see the point.

Jonathan Executive Director/Vice President, Market Risk Management and Analysis Finance Division, Hong Kong
The most rewarding part of my job is to disseminate value-added risk information to trading managers and senior leaders in the firm to help them better understand the risk profile of the firm.
My Work
I work in the Finance division, on the Asia Market Risk Management & Analysis team, in Tokyo. We're responsible for monitoring risk exposure and performing analysis on the firm's trading and principal investing areas.
My role enables me to understand high-level trading and investing strategies employed by different businesses in the firm, so I am able to develop an all-round knowledge base of the industry. It also exposes me to technical training for analyzing portfolios with a wide range of financial products, including the most recently developed structured products.
My managers constantly encourage us to think of new ways to improve on existing processes and methodologies, giving us plenty of opportunities to come up with innovative solutions. In addition, as the firm expands and takes on risk in new areas, I believe there will be massive opportunities for my team to play a more important role to support the firm's growth.
My Day
I am currently responsible for the risk monitoring function of the Asia Exotics business. Since the traditional risk management tools cannot depict the full range of risk factors of these products, I am working closely with the Risk Technology team and Desk Strategists in an effort to compute a more appropriate set of risk metrics for the business.
The primary task for my team is to "squeeze out" the important message behind the numbers to explain risk in an intuitive way. To do so, we need to process a large amount of data, understand the economics of each product, and discover relationships among them under different market conditions. This needs to be done in a fast-moving environment, particularly during market turbulence when requests from different businesses increase exponentially.
The most rewarding part of my job is to disseminate value-added risk information to trading managers and senior leaders in the firm to help them better understand the risk profile of the firm. I also find it very satisfying to provide an explanation of technical risk concepts in simple language to a large number of people in the firm.
I feel that the firm takes care of its employees very well in terms of both career development and personal well-being. The firm also has a very strong reputation in every area it does business in and therefore attracts a large pool of talented professionals to create a diverse and stimulating work environment.

Maybe you took to heart my recent post about the health dangers of sitting too much.
Now it's time to think about getting outside.
A substantial body of research affirms the numerous health benefits of spending time in natural settings: walking in woods or urban parks, canoeing down a river, tending a vegetable garden, meandering along a coastline or a lake shore.
Researchers have found that spending time in nature strengthens a person's immune system, reduces stress hormones, lowers blood pressure, and improves social interactions. Furthermore, it may improve learning and increase empathy.
Even a dose of five minutes improves our sense of wellbeing.
What's more, creating green spaces such as parks and community gardens in urban residential environments reduces crime (especially gun violence), decreases domestic violence, stimulates positive social interactions, strengthens family connections.
Even hospital patients exposed to green spaces through their windows (rather than parking lots) have better clinical outcomes. They experience less fear, anxiety and anger. They have lower blood pressure and need fewer medications.
Biophilia: Human health may depend on connecting with nature
Biologist Edward O. Wilson and others have hypothesized that a deep affinity they call biophilia exists between humans and other living systems. Proponents of the hypothesis suggest that a connection with the the plants and animals around us, including those species too small to see, is essential to our physical and mental health and productivity.
Public health advocates around the world have begun advocating immersion in nature for health. For example:
- The Japanese have studied the specific effects of shinrin-yoku, "forest bathing," for health.
- Scandinavians have begun promoting their 150 year-old tradition of friluftsliv—which roughly translates into "outdoor living and recreation"—for health purposes.
- Green Gym, a movement movement started by a medical doctor in Great Britain in 1997, combines outdoor physical fitness with conservation work.
Play in the Dirt!
Another line of provocative research suggests that inhaling or ingesting a common, non-harmful soil bacterium, Mycobacterium vaccae, in natural settings may activate brain chemicals whose effects are similar to antidepressants.
Further resedarch suggests that contact with the bacteria may even improve learning. As adults, perhaps we need to mimic our children's instinctive behavior by getting out to play or walk in the dirt and make mud pies.
The buzzword connectivity describes the technological innovations that connect us 24/7 to our electronic communication devices. Yet with all the research associating improved health with spending time in the natural world, we all might want to consider unplugging and re-establishing a deeper connection with that world outisde our windows.
A final point worth pondering: What we don't know and experience directly and intimately, we have little motivation to care for. How can we expect future generations to understand and protect our common natural environments if young people rarely go out and experience them?

Can immersion in nature make us more empathic and caring of others?

Rated 5 out of 5�by Ebeth143 Best support I bought this bra to wear for Air Force basic training. I needed a white bra with a lot of support. It is perfect because the compression is supportive enough but it is comfortable too. I now own 5 of these bras. December 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Milia Good Support I love nike sports bras. I don't purchase any other brand. My only issue is even an XS is a little too big for me. These bras last a long time and are well worth the cost. June 10, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5�by Cmj Great sportbra I def would recommend ordering a sizedown if ur a runner just to hold them tight in. I am a 34DD but order a M. It got but when I run I like them firmIn thier spot. I don't like not even an ounce of bounce. I order them in almost every color when dicks had the sale. Got them for 21 bucks. Plus I'm cheap when it comes to paying so much for gym clothes so I didn't miss the sale bc they never go that low in price. December 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by taylor98 Favorite Sports Bra! This is a great sports bra, my favorite of all time! I am a runner and a triathlete, so I think it is very important to have a comfortable, supportive sports bra that is cute and good quality. I love how this sports bra provides high support for higher impact activities, such as running, without feeling too tight and too constricting. Also, these are flattering and they hold their shape over time. Generally, these are a little bit more expensive than most other sports bras, but their quality makes them worth the price, for sure. I would definitely recommend this sports bra to anyone who is searching for the perfect one! February 17, 2015

Selena Gomez in Miami (BAUER-GRIFFIN.COM)
The "Come & Get It" singer showed off her tiny figure in a patterned bikini over the weekend while hanging poolside with a girlfriend in Miami, Florida.
Gomez has been busy promoting her upcoming album, and while chatting with Boston's Kiss 108 radio station recently, the 20-year-old confirmed that she's currently single.
"So, sometimes you may see a boy walking down the street and he says, 'Lets grab a ice-cream' you're available?" the host asked Gomez, who responded with a definite, "Yep."
"You're completely available in every way?" the host reiterated, and the "Spring Breakers" actress yet again replied with a "Yep!".
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez get cozy (Instagram)
In other news, Gomez is going to be a big sister! The (for now) only child celebrated Mother's Day by announcing that her mom Mandy is pregnant. Gomez posted a black-and-white photo on Twitter, which showed Gomez smiling and holding her mother's baby bump. This will be the first child for Mandy and Gomez's stepfather Brian Teefey. In 2011, Gomez's mother heartbreakingly suffered a miscarriage.
Congrats to Gomez and her family on the exciting news!

The term "project management" refers to the implementation of appropriately planned and funded capital projects approved by the State Building Commission. These assignmnets are typically new building design or major maintenance on existing buildings
Project Management oversees the State Building Energy Management (SBEM) Program that was approved by the State Building Commission in August 1999. This plan is designed to be self-funded by using the savings generated from facility modifications to provide the investment capital required to fund projects and associated costs. SBEM provides leadership in the implementation of the Tennessee Energy Initiative (TEI). A strategic partnership was formed between SBEM, U.S. Department of Energy, and the Environment Protection Agency for the purpose of development and implementation of the plan.

However, moving back into the thick of things, he and Fernando Alonso collided with the two cars literally bouncing off each other.
Both managed to continue and Massa was running in sixth place when he came in for his first stop.
That, though, was a disaster.
First Williams mixed up the rear left and right and then they struggled to put the rear left on.
Costing Massa time, he eventually exited down in 20th place and was only able to recover to 15th.
"It was a bit of a nightmare," he told Autosport of the stop. "I lost my race there.
"I came out last, there wasn't much I could have done.
"I don't know what happened, I just know something happened to the back of the car.
"I don't know if it was a mistake, a problem on the wheel nut, I don't know."
The Brazilian, though, is refusing to let the problem get him down, adamant Williams will fight back at the next race in Spain.
"That's how we ended up where we were, but chin up, we'll keep fighting our way back into it."

With up to 320 sunny days per year, you are always sure to find a perfect spot for your vacation in Croatia.
Hundreds of charming islands and islets with sparse traffic, fascinating beauty and natural phenomenons are a guarantee for a completely different vacation experience on the Mediterranean.
And you needn't choose between the mountains and the seaside, the cityscape and the countryside – everything is within reach and just a drive away. When you choose Croatia, you choose diversity of experiences, pristine nature, authentic attractions that span hundreds or even thousands of years into the past, rich and varied culinary traditions, and a dedication to the simple life that celebrates freedom.
From pristine blue sea to mystical mountains, spectacular national parks to thriving wildlife, Croatia's natural wonders are as diverse as they are abundant.
Paradise beaches for families, remote locations for the bold and adventurous, seaside activities for those who don't want to stay put, private destinations for relaxation and meditation…
With 1244 islands, Croatia has the most intricately indented coastline on the Mediterranean, with the right type of beach to fit the demands of each guest.
Beach type
Paradise beaches
Can you imagine a perfect swim?
Sandy beaches and shallow waters with plenty of fun activities for the kids and the grown-ups are the most popular destinations for sunbathing, swimming and relaxing with family and friends. Paradise Beach on the island of Rab, Bačvice Beach in Split, Saharun Beach on Dugi Otok, Lumbarda on Korčula, and Kukljica on the island of Ugljan are some of the most popular sandy beaches in Croatia. If you're looking for more seclusion but still want to feel the sand between your toes, go to Spiaza Beach on the remote island of Susak.
Remote beaches
Want to have a beach all to yourself?
If your ideal sunbathing spot is a secluded one far away from civilization, it won't be too hard for you to find your own piece of heaven. Stiniva Cove on the island of Vis is by far most famous secluded Croatian beach. It is very hard to reach by land, but sailors often come here to enjoy the silence and the calm sea. Cape Kamenjak in the south of Istria has many hidden coves and islets with sandy and stone beaches, while one of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia, Lubenice Beach, is situated in a hidden cove and surrounded by steep cliffs of the island of Cres.
Pebble beaches
Have you ever really been in touch with the sea?
The vast majority of beaches in Croatia are pebble beaches with crystal clear water and plenty of beach and sea activities – such as diving, jet-skiing, volleyball, or the popular local sport called picigin. The iconic Zlatni Rat Beach on the island of Brač is surely the most famous beach in Croatia, but it's in close competition with Punta Rata Beach in Brela, Baška Beach on the island of Krk, and Banje Beach in Dubrovnik.
Mild climate makes the Adriatic very pleasant for sailing all year round.
With a spectacular coastline extending 5,835 kilometres from Istria to Dubrovnik, with nearly 60 marinas and extraordinary clear waters, the Croatian Adriatic is an ideal place for your sailing adventure.
Ready to reach for the top?
Nature is an adventure of its own, and Croatian nature is disarmingly inviting. Bike or hike, dive of skydive, surf the waves or climb the mountain peaks – let your curiosity be your guide. Wherever you go, the memories will follow.
When sun-soaked fresh ingredients meet in a melting pot of amazingly diverse gastronomical influences, you can't help but crave another bite. Go ahead, there's always room for more.
Ever wandered into an ancient street?
Since the dawn of time, Croatia has been blessed with stunning proofs of the wonder that is human creation. Explore the great array of historical and cultural sites, and celebrate the humanity that unites us.
Coming up with vacation ideas is hard, which is why we're here to tell you that your search is over! Croatia is undoubtedly the only destination you'll need this summer because of the variety of different experiences and beauties it offers.GO TO DESTINATIONS
If your perfect vacation is all about meeting people, learning about history and tradition, and experiencing new worlds from within, then you are in the right place! Numerous music, film, theater, gastronomy and art festivals all summer long make Croatia an ideal destination for the culture-hungry!GO TO EVENTS

No one in Annapolis this week is more in need of a comfortable chair and a hot drink than Brian E. Frosh, the man who has been spending hours standing on the floor of the Senate, brandishing a microphone and defending the governor's gun-control legislation.
Sen. Frosh (D-Dist. 16) of Chevy Chase, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is tasked with ushering some of the session's most-watched bills through the State House and onto the desk of Gov. Martin O'Malley (D).
This week, it was guns. Next week, it will be death penalty repeal. And sometime in the coming weeks, it will be a bill to address who is responsible when dogs attack. Then, at some point, it will be proposals to tweak Maryland's speed-camera laws.
"It's not like these are things that I'm new to," Frosh said. "I've been working on these issues for a while now."
Frosh was one of a group of lawmakers, just days after the shooting in Newtown, Conn., to announce a series of bills to tighten gun regulations in Maryland. Later, O'Malley announced his own gun-control package, which included many of the provisions proposed by Frosh and others.
"We have 30,000 deaths a year as a result of gun violence," Frosh said. "How do we address the public health problem?"
While defending the bill on the floor, the senator cited instances where the provisions in the bill might have saved lives, including Christina-Taylor Green, struck down by the 13th round of ammunition from accused shooter Jared Loughner in 2011 in Tucson. The bill limits magazine capacity to 10 rounds.
"Magazine limits will save lives," Frosh said. "It's a life-saving bill."
The legislation, said Sen. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Dist. 20) of Takoma Park, is the most difficult he's seen his mentor chaperon through. "It's just such a complicated bill, because there are so many moving parts," Raskin said.
The bill had 20 amendments when it came out of committee, and more than 50 amendments, both friendly and not-so-friendly were proposed during three days of debate on the floor.
But in his 11th year chairing the committee that deals with all measures of law and order, and his 27th year in the General Assembly, Frosh, 66, has gotten used to it, and he's eyeing a larger stage.
That Frosh, a practicing attorney in his day job, is exploring a run for attorney general is no secret: In October, he released a long list of supporters on his exploratory committee, and that support is growing, he said.
Current Attorney General Douglas Gansler is widely believed to be preparing to run for governor when O'Malley's term is over.
Part of the appeal of the attorney general's job, Frosh said, is having an inherent bully pulpit as the state's top legal officer. He already has identified some of the areas on which he would like to focus his attention should he be elected: environmental protection — he spent eight years on the House Environmental Matters Committee, followed by seven years on the Senate Health, Education and Environmental Affairs Committee, and various task forces and commissions dealing with the issue — consumer protection and senior abuse. On the latter, he would like to create a task force on senior abuse protection.
And in some ways, Frosh said, the attorney general's role is much simpler than that of a lawmaker.
"The attorney general enforces the law, that's the job," Frosh said. Creating the law, he said, is often much more complicated.
He will make an official announcement on whether to run when the session is over, he said.
If Frosh decides to run, he'll likely be in a crowded field for the Democratic primary, including his district-mate William C. Frick (D-Dist. 16) of Bethesda, Del. Jon S. Cardin (D-Dist. 11) of Owings Mills and Del. Aisha N. Braveboy (D-Dist. 25) of Mitchellville.
It's a natural move, Raskin said, given that Frosh has had a hand in many laws enacted during the past quarter century.
"He knows the criminal law and the civil law in Maryland inside and out," Raskin said. "He's running to make the laws that he introduced and passed work for the whole state."
However, having Frosh in an office where he can further push initiatives he has championed in the Senate is frightening to some Republicans, like state party Executive Director David Ferguson.
"Brian Frosh, in his approach to government, is taking Maryland in a radical direction," Ferguson said. "He would be a dangerous attorney general."
All of his fairness and thoughtfulness won't matter, Ferguson said, "if he's trying to cram his liberal, partisan agenda down the throat of Marylanders."
"Of course I think he's too liberal," said former state senator and Maryland GOP chairman Alex X. Mooney, who served for eight years on Frosh's committee. "He's a liberal guy, and he doesn't hide it."
But even Mooney, who opposed Frosh on issues from speed cameras to same-sex marriage, said that Frosh never got too personal about issues or tried to coerce him to vote a certain way.
This isn't the first time Frosh has thought about seeking the office. In 2006, when it looked like longtime Attorney General J. Joseph Curran Jr. was going to retire, Frosh weighed the idea, but was struck by an even better one when Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-Dist. 27) of Chesapeake Beach said he would step down in 2010, at the end of his ninth term.
Frosh was one of several senators jockeying for Miller's spot on the rostrum, when the Senate president announced in 2008 that he would seek re-election after all.
While he believes he would have been a good fit for the job, Frosh acknowledges that there's no one quite like the longest-serving state legislative leader in the country, whom he calls "incredibly skillful," although there are many things on which the two do not agree.
"The question was not 'How could I be Mike Miller?'" Frosh said of his considering Miller's job. "The question was, could I do it not being Mike Miller, and I think I could have."
Miller, who put Frosh in the chairman's seat and is supportive of his run for attorney general, said Frosh is very different from his predecessor, the late Walter M. Baker (D-Dist. 36), who served as chairman of Judicial Proceedings from 1987 to 2003.
"Walter Baker and Brian are about as different as night and day in their political ideology," Miller said, adding that Frosh's quiet, thoughtful leadership style is also a departure. "I think Brian is a little farther to the left than most people in the state of Maryland."
Frosh is certainly further left than Miller, who disagrees with him on issues such as the death penalty repeal, which Miller opposes.
"He understands my positions on the bills, but that doesn't affect our role as friends and as colleagues," Miller said.
Sen. Norman R. Stone (D-Dist. 6) of Dundalk, another conservative Democrat, diverges from his committee chairman on a fair number of issues, he said.
"He's fair, even when you disagree," said Stone, himself a former chairman of other committees, who called Frosh a hands-on chair. "And he doesn't pawn things off on the vice chair."
One thing that people don't see unless they're behind the scenes, Frosh said, is the diplomacy that goes into each day of bill hearings, when the committee takes up to 14 proposals, each with their contingent of witnesses for and against the legislation.
"And someone always has to leave by a certain time, or has another bill to testify on, but you want to keep related bills together, and you want to keep the committee members there until the end so that everyone feels they've been heard," Frosh said. "It takes a lot of energy. It's a juggling act, trying to keep everybody happy."
From now until the end of the session, his committee will hear 14 bills each day, with voting sessions following hearings, in addition to floor debates on the most-anticipated bills.
That leaves him little time to see his wife, Marcy Frosh, director of programs at the Children's Dental Health Project in Washington, D.C.
"We've been missing each other a lot lately," Frosh said.
But Marcy Frosh and their two daughters — one 21 and at school in California and one 25 and living in D.C. — are enthusiastic about his running for attorney general, Frosh said.
"Marcy is a die-hard do-gooder," Frosh said. "So she sees this as a great opportunity."
But should he end up in the office, "I can say, unequivocally, that this is the last job I'll ever run for," Frosh said.

- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Wow, so these showed up and were way too narrow and a bit too small on the toe. Put in my own liners and they still just had a bad fit. When I went to return them they charged me $6.99 for shipping. I guess since they have sent me the wrong item several times and given me free shipping on THOSE returns, I expected free shipping. Called to ask for free shipping and they just tried to upsell me to some different boots.
I am in customer service and if someone calls and politely asks for a (completely useless) fee to be removed, I will remove it. Keep the customers happy, however Sean decided to be totally rude about it, reference a time when I was shipped the wrong item, told me someone else did that return wrong, THEN went back and said that oh no actually that return was done correctly and it's your fault, and you still need to pay for return shipping.
I live in a ski town. Theres no need for me to purchase from any dogfunk/backcountry/whiskey sites again... Thanks Sean. I hope you read this review and laugh about it, but I also hope your boss reads this review and requires you to do some boring a$$ full day video training session on having good customer service because for $6.99 you just lost someone.
Good Day.

Internally displaced people in Colombia: Victims in permanent transition
by Dan Van Ness
I have just received a copy of a research study on the peace negotiations in Colombia: Internally displaced people in Colombia: Victims in permanent transition: Ethical and political dilemmas of reparative justice in the midst of internal armed conflict by Sandro Jiménez Ocampo, et al.
From 2004 to 2007, the Colombian Government conducted peace negotiations with paramilitary groups. One of the issues negotiated had to do with the claims of people who had been killed or forcibly displace from their land, lands that were held by the combatants when the negotiations began.
Forced displacement and deaths continued during the course of the negotiations, creating new claims. While reparation to victims was supposed to be a prominent outcome to the negotiations, the difficulties of negotiating peace in the course of a violent conflict together with the absence of the victims of displacement from the negotiation meant that there were claims of serious inadequacies with the results.

The dosage is based on your medical condition (including your kidney function) and response to treatment.If you are giving this medication to yourself at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions from your health care professional. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.Avoid mixing zoledronic acid with IV fluids that have calcium in them (such as Ringer's solution, Hartmann's solution, parenteral nutrition-TPN/PPN). Talk to your pharmacist for more details.For the treatment of high blood calcium levels, fluids are usually given through a vein before you receive this medication. To decrease the chance of kidney problems, drink plenty of fluids during treatment unless otherwise directed by your doctor. It takes at least 7 days after a dose to get the full benefit of this drug. The dose may need to be repeated depending on your blood calcium levels.For the treatment of multiple myeloma and bone problems caused by the spread of cancer, this medication is usually given every 3 to 4 weeks or as directed by your doctor. You may also be instructed to take calcium and vitamin D supplements each day.

The families at Congregation B'nai Jacob will enjoy special guests, food and fellowship activities as it celebrates its 100th anniversary throughout the upcoming year.
Congregation B'nai Jacob, which observes Conservative Judaism, or a more conservative approach in preserving the Jewish religion and heritage, begins its centennial celebration this weekend with services at 7:30 p.m. Friday and at 9:15 a.m. Saturday, Rabbi Mitchell Kornspan said.
An Oneg Shabbat reception follows the Friday service, while a Kiddush luncheon takes place after Saturday morning's service. There also will be a 5:30 p.m. dinner, complete with cocktails and entertainment by the University of Saint Francis Jazz Ensemble and lyric tenor singer Franck Hagendorf.
Congregation B'nai Jacob has a membership of about 90 families.
Leah Tourkow, a second-generation family member, has worked on the historical documentation of the B'nai Jacob. A special video presentation and a 56-page book will be available to those who attend the dinner.
Tourkow said she became the congregation's historian after her mother passed the history on to her.
Built on faith
B'nai Jacob officially became a synagogue Sept. 29, 1912, and Tourkow's family joined the congregation in 1938, when the building was on the corner of East Wayne and Monroe streets. Saul Schorr and Mendal Hurwitz were among the first spiritual leaders.
Three things Tourkow said she remembers about that building are the many steps it took to reach the front doors, the "gorgeous windows" and the balcony, where women sat separately from men.
In 1956, the congregation moved into its second building at 2340 Fairfield Ave.
Tourkow said that building was "efficient and big," with a theater, sanctuary, chapel and a big library. The building, which later became the home of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, is centrally located and included a ramp for the disabled.
The congregation did not move again until 1993 to its current location at 7227 Bittersweet Moors Drive, inside Bittersweet addition off U.S. 24.
A developer wanted to build an apartment complex inside the addition, Tourkow explained, and the association either offered for a nominal price or donated the land to the congregation to prevent the building of that apartment complex.
Kornspan said families attend services from within a 50-mile radius because the only other synagogues that observe Conservative Judaism are in South Bend and Indianapolis.
Kornspan, who became rabbi to the congregation in 2004, said, "The people weren't afraid to roll up their sleeves to work. There was something religious, multigenerational — the flavor of Conservative Judaism — which attracted me."
More celebration
Kornspan acknowledges this multigenerational aspect when speaking about other centennial celebration events.
•Arthur Kurzweil, one of the foremost Jewish genealogists, will speak about "Generation to Generation: How to Trace Your Jewish Genealogy and Family History" in January.
Kornspan said 90 percent of Jewish people today have had family members killed in the Holocaust, which hamper genealogy research efforts. He also said there will be a mock Jewish wedding that weekend.
•A kugel (pudding) cookoff takes place Feb. 2. Kornspan said kugel is a "quintessential Jewish food item" made from egg noodles or potatoes.
•Hebrew calligrapher Peggy H. Davis will visit March 3 to teach principles of Hebrew and Yiddish calligraphy. There will be workshops and klezmer, or Jewish soul, music featured that same weekend.

Sunday, November 18, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. (Nov. 18, 2001) - East Tennessee State senior guard Erin Thurman (Hixson, Tenn.) scored a game-high 19 points and sophomore forward Lauren Trantham (Asheville, N.C.) pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds, but it was not enough to get by the James Madison Dukes (2-0), as the Lady Bucs (0-1) fell 76-58 in their first game of the 2001-02 season from the JMU Convocation Center in Harrisonburg, Va. Thurman started the game on fire, scoring eight of ETSU's first 10 points and notching 10 of her own in the half. ETSU was threatening, but JMU senior guard Allyson Keener hit two three pointers and junior guard Lindsay Warner knocked down a short jumper as the Dukes scored six straight points to open up a nine-point (20-11) lead with 10:33 left in the first half. After an ETSU basket, JMU scored nine consecutive points to build a 16-point (29-13) advantage with 6:08 left. The Dukes shot the ball at a 54 percent clip in the first half and held a 37-22 lead at the break. The Dukes would open up their lead in the second half, leading by as many as 26 points in the second stanza. Thurman scored her 19 points on 8-16 shooting and 3-6 from three-point range. Trantham was just one basket away from a double-double, scoring eight points to go along with her 10 rebounds. Freshman guard Ashley Reed (Barrackville, W.Va.) came off the bench to score nine points in her collegiate debut. James Madison was led by Keener, who had 17 points, knocking down three three-pointers. Forward Nadine Morgan had 15 points and nine rebounds for JMU. The Lady Bucs return to action on Wednesday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. in Memorial Center for their home opener against Coastal Carolina and former ETSU men's basketball coach Alan LeForce, current women's coach at Coastal.
