18 CFR 33.3 - Additional information requirements for applications involving horizontal competitive impacts.
(1) The applicant must file the horizontal Competitive Analysis Screen described in paragraphs (b) through (f) of this section if, as a result of the proposed transaction, a single corporate entity obtains ownership or control over the generating facilities of previously unaffiliated merging entities (for purposes of this section, merging entities means any party to the proposed transaction or its parent companies, energy subsidiaries or energy affiliates).
(i) Affirmatively demonstrates that the merging entities do not currently conduct business in the same geographic markets or that the extent of the business transactions in the same geographic markets is de minimis; and
(ii) No intervenor has alleged that one of the merging entities is a perceived potential competitor in the same geographic market as the other.
(b) All data, assumptions, techniques and conclusions in the horizontal Competitive Analysis Screen must be accompanied by appropriate documentation and support.
(1) If the applicant is unable to provide any specific data required in this section, it must identify and explain how the data requirement was satisfied and the suitability of the substitute data.
(2) The applicant may provide other analyses for defining relevant markets (e.g. the Hypothetical Monopolist Test with or without the assumption of price discrimination) in addition to the delivered price test under the horizontal Competitive Analysis Screen.
(3) The applicant may use a computer model to complete one or more steps in the horizontal Competitive Analysis Screen. The applicant must fully explain, justify and document any model used and provide descriptions of model formulation, mathematical specifications, solution algorithms, as well as the annotated model code in executable form, and specify the software needed to execute the model. The applicant must explain and document how inputs were developed, the assumptions underlying such inputs and any adjustments made to published data that are used as inputs. The applicant must also explain how it tested the predictive value of the model, for example, using historical data.
(1) Define relevant products. Identify and define all wholesale electricity products sold by the merging entities during the two years prior to the date of the application, including, but not limited to, non-firm energy, short-term capacity (or firm energy), long-term capacity (a contractual commitment of more than one year), and ancillary services (specifically spinning reserves, non-spinning reserves, and imbalance energy, identified and defined separately). Because demand and supply conditions for a product can vary substantially over the year, periods corresponding to those distinct conditions must be identified by load level, and analyzed as separate products.
(2) Identify destination markets. Identify each wholesale power sales customer or set of customers (destination market) affected by the proposed transaction. Affected customers are, at a minimum, those entities directly interconnected to any of the merging entities and entities that have purchased electricity at wholesale from any of the merging entities during the two years prior to the date of the application. If the applicant does not identify an entity to whom the merging entities have sold electricity during the last two years as an affected customer, the applicant must provide a full explanation for each exclusion.
(3) Identify potential suppliers. The applicant must identify potential suppliers to each destination market using the delivered price test described in paragraph (c)(4) of this section. A seller may be included in a geographic market to the extent that it can economically and physically deliver generation services to the destination market.
(4) Perform delivered price test. For each destination market, the applicant must calculate the amount of relevant product a potential supplier could deliver to the destination market from owned or controlled capacity at a price, including applicable transmission prices, loss factors and ancillary services costs, that is no more than five (5) percent above the pre-transaction market clearing price in the destination market.
(i) Supplier's presence. The applicant must measure each potential supplier's presence in the destination market in terms of generating capacity, using economic capacity and available economic capacity measures. Additional adjustments to supplier presence may be presented; applicants must support any such adjustment.
(A) Economic capacity means the amount of generating capacity owned or controlled by a potential supplier with variable costs low enough that energy from such capacity could be economically delivered to the destination market. Prior to applying the delivered price test, the generating capacity meeting this definition must be adjusted by subtracting capacity committed under long-term firm sales contracts and adding capacity acquired under long-term firm purchase contracts (i.e., contracts with a remaining commitment of more than one year). The capacity associated with any such adjustments must be attributed to the party that has authority to decide when generating resources are available for operation. Other generating capacity may also be attributed to another supplier based on operational control criteria as deemed necessary, but the applicant must explain the reasons for doing so.
(B) Available economic capacity means the amount of generating capacity meeting the definition of economic capacity less the amount of generating capacity needed to serve the potential supplier's native load commitments, as described in paragraph (d)(4)(i) of this section.
(C) Available transmission capacity. Each potential supplier's economic capacity and available economic capacity (and any other measure used to determine the amount of relevant product that could be delivered to a destination market) must be adjusted to reflect available transmission capability to deliver each relevant product. The allocation to a potential supplier of limited capability of constrained transmission paths internal to the merging entities' systems or interconnecting the systems with other control areas must recognize both the transmission capability not subject to firm reservations by others and any firm transmission rights held by the potential supplier that are not committed to long-term transactions. For each such instance where limited transmission capability must be allocated among potential suppliers, the applicant must explain the method used and show the results of such allocation.
(D) Internal interface. If the proposed transaction would cause an interface that interconnects the transmission systems of the merging entities to become transmission facilities for which the merging entities would have a "native load" priority under their open access transmission tariff (i.e., where the merging entities may reserve existing transmission capacity needed for native load growth and network transmission customer load growth reasonable forecasted within the utility's current planning horizon), all of the unreserved capability of the interface must be allocated to the merging entities for purposes of the horizontal Competitive Analysis Screen, unless the applicant demonstrates one of the following:
(1) The merging entities would not have adequate economic capacity to fully use such unreserved transmission capability;
(5) Calculate market concentration. The applicant must calculate the market share, both pre- and post-merger, for each potential supplier, the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) statistic for the market, and the change in the HHI statistic. (The HHI statistic is a measure of market concentration and is a function of the number of firms in a market and their respective market shares. The HHI statistic is calculated by summing the squares of the individual market shares, expressed as percentages, of all potential suppliers to the destination market.) To make these calculations, the applicant must use the amounts of generating capacity (i.e., economic capacity and available economic capacity, and any other relevant measure) determined in paragraph (c)(4)(i) of this section, for each product in each destination market.
(6) Provide historical transaction data. The applicant must provide historical trade data and historical transmission data to corroborate the results of the horizontal Competitive Analysis Screen. The data must cover the two-year period preceding the filing of the application. The applicant may adjust the results of the horizontal Competitive Analysis Screen, if supported by historical trade data or historical transmission service data. Any adjusted results must be shown separately, along with an explanation of all adjustments to the results of the horizontal Competitive Analysis Screen. The applicant must also provide an explanation of any significant differences between results obtained by the horizontal Competitive Analysis Screen and trade patterns in the last two years.
(d) In support of the delivered price test required by paragraph (c)(4) of this section, the applicant must provide the following data and information used in calculating the economic capacity and available economic capacity that a potential supplier could deliver to a destination market. The transmission data required by paragraphs (d)(7) through (d)(9) of this section must be supplied for the merging entities' systems. The transmission data must also be supplied for other relevant systems, to the extent data are publicly available.
(1) Generation capacity. For each generating plant or unit owned or controlled by each potential supplier, the applicant must provide:
(vi) Summer and winter capacity adjusted to reflect planned and forced outages and other factors, such as fuel supply and environmental restrictions.
(2) Variable cost. For each generating plant or unit owned or controlled by each potential supplier, the applicant must also provide variable cost components.
(A) Variable operation and maintenance, including both fuel and non-fuel operation and maintenance; and
(ii) To the extent costs described in paragraph (d)(2)(i) of this section are allocated among units at the same plant, allocation methods must be fully described.
(3) Long-term purchase and sales data. For each sale and purchase of capacity, the applicant must provide the following information:
(ix) Information on provisions of contracts which confer operational control over generation resources to the purchaser.
(4) Native load commitments. (i) Native load commitments are commitments to serve wholesale and retail power customers on whose behalf the potential supplier, by statute, franchise, regulatory requirement, or contract, has undertaken an obligation to construct and operate its system to meet their reliable electricity needs.
(ii) The applicant must provide supplier name and hourly native load commitments for the most recent two years. In addition, the applicant must provide this information for each load level, if load-differentiated relevant products are analyzed.
(iii) If data on native load commitments are not available, the applicant must fully explain and justify any estimates of these commitments.
(5) Transmission and ancillary service prices, and loss factors. (i) The applicant must use in the horizontal Competitive Analysis Screen the maximum rates stated in the transmission providers' tariffs. If necessary, those rates should be converted to a dollars-per-megawatt hour basis and the conversion method explained.
(ii) If a regional transmission pricing regime is in effect that departs from system-specific transmission rates, the horizontal Competitive Analysis Screen must reflect the regional pricing regime.
(iii) The following data must be provided for each transmission system that would be used to deliver energy from each potential supplier to a destination market:
(iv) The applicant may present additional alternative analysis using discount prices if the applicant can support it with evidence that discounting is and will be available.
(6) Destination market price. The applicant must provide, for each relevant product and destination market, market prices for the most recent two years. The applicant may provide suitable proxies for market prices if actual market prices are unavailable. Estimated prices or price ranges must be supported and the data and approach used to estimate the prices must be included with the application. If the applicant relies on price ranges in the analysis, such ranges must be reconciled with any actual market prices that are supplied in the application. Applicants must demonstrate that the results of the analysis do not vary significantly in response to small variations in actual and/or estimated prices.
(7) Transmission capability. (i) The applicant must provide simultaneous transfer capability data, if available, for each of the transmission paths, interfaces, or other facilities used by suppliers to deliver to the destination markets on an hourly basis for the most recent two years.
(iii) Any estimated transmission capability must be supported and the data and approach used to make the estimates must be included with the application.
(8) Transmission constraints. (i) For each existing transmission facility that affects supplies to the destination markets and that has been constrained during the most recent two years or is expected to be constrained within the planning horizon, the applicant must provide the following information:
(B) Locations of the constraint and all paths, interfaces, or facilities affected by the constraint;
(ii) The applicant must include information regarding expected changes in loadings on transmission facilities due to the proposed transaction and the consequent effect on transfer capability.
(iii) To the extent possible, the applicant must provide system maps showing the location of transmission facilities where binding constraints have been known or are expected to occur.
(9) Firm transmission rights (Physical and Financial). For each potential supplier to a destination market that holds firm transmission rights necessary to directly or indirectly deliver energy to that market, or that holds transmission congestion contracts, the applicant must provide the following information:
(iii) The FERC rate schedule number, if applicable, under which transmission service is provided; and
(iv) A description of the firm transmission rights held (including, at a minimum, quantity and remaining time the rights will be held, and any relevant time restrictions on transmission use, such as peak or off-peak rights).
(10) Summary table of potential suppliers' presence. (i) The applicant must provide a summary table with the following information for each potential supplier for each destination market:
(B) The potential supplier's total amount of economic capacity (not subject to transmission constraints); and
(C) The potential supplier's amount of economic capacity from which energy can be delivered to the destination market (after adjusting for transmission availability).
(ii) A similar table must be provided for available economic capacity, and for any other generating capacity measure used by the applicant.
(11) Historical trade data. (i) The applicant must provide data identifying all of the merging entities' wholesale sales and purchases of electric energy for the most recent two years.
(12) Historical transmission data. The applicant must provide information concerning any transmission service denials, interruptions and curtailments on the merging entities' systems, for the most recent two years, to the extent the information is available from OASIS data, including the following information:
(vi) The reservations or other use anticipated on the affected transmission path at the time of the service denial, curtailment or interruption.
(e) Mitigation. Any mitigation measures proposed by the applicant (including, for example, divestiture or participation in a regional transmission organization) which are intended to mitigate the adverse effect of the proposed transaction must, to the extent possible, be factored into the horizontal Competitive Analysis Screen as an additional post-transaction analysis. Any mitigation commitments that involve facilities (e.g., in connection with divestiture of generation) must identify the facilities affected by the commitment, along with a timetable for implementing the commitments.
(2) The potential for entry in the market and the role that entry could play in mitigating adverse competitive effects of the transaction;
(4) Whether, but for the transaction, one or more of the merging entities would be likely to fail, causing its assets to exit the market.

Group to fight for new Ulverston supermarket
Last updated at 14:31, Monday, 18 June 2012
MANY people support plans for a new supermarket in Ulverston – but they need someone to speak up for them, according to one resident.
Cath Thompson is setting up a pressure group in support of the Robinsons and Sainsbury's proposals for new supermarkets in the town because she feels her views are not adequately represented on Ulverston Town Council.
She said: "I think both ideas should be encouraged.
"I know a lot of people want to see somebody go forward for them and I would be gobsmacked if the 'Yes' campaign didn't gain a lot of ground.
"After the last council meeting I am even more determined not to let this go."
The council has yet to take a stance on Sainsbury's supermarket plan as a planning application for the site, off the A590, is yet to be submitted.
Councillors debated the issue in principle at the last town council meeting, but Mrs Thompson said she did not believe the right discussions were taking place.
She said: "At the meeting they just talked about the traffic issues on the A590, but they are not insurmountable.
"The developers couldn't do this without taking it into consideration.
"I didn't think the council had the town's best interests at heart.
"There seemed to be a lot of people acting out of personal interest."
Mrs Thompson believes the recent retail report that described the number of people that shop in Ulverston as "reasonably healthy for a centre of its scale" was selective and unrepresentative.
The South Lakeland Retail Study Update 2012 found that 57.7 per cent of people shop in Ulverston, more than the 30 per cent previously claimed by Robinsons.
Mrs Thompson said: "If the town is going to expand, the rest of it has to expand with it.
"Ulverston is notorious for denying any form of competition.
"We are quite apathetic in Ulverston sometimes but if we stand up and say we need these developments people will get behind it."
Sainsbury's is consulting the public before submitting a planning application to South Lakeland District Council, and says it hopes to "bring the project forward as soon as possible".
Robinsons declined to comment on its plans for an as-yet-unnamed supermarket at its former brewery in the town centre, but the council expects a revised planning application will be submitted "in due course".

Have your say
The government want people to work so if that is the case ulverston council and the non local people that reside in my birth town of ulverston should adhere to this and build the supermarkets so people can have jobs it is simple as that their are more shops closing all the time blockbuster has only had a stay of execution for now their is no men's clothing shops at all anymore as junction closed down one butchers shop which is ridiculousley expensive considering we had load years ago fruit and veg shops we had quite a few of them years ago as well now we have one so who gets what and which jobs in ulverston and why should ulverstonians have pay nearly ÃÂã6 for bus fares to go and work in barrow or Kendal we shoulsnt have to ulverston is just a town and we used to have a good trade years ago but all that has gone so now we must get these supermarkets built and now because we the people the true locals need jobs out of owner's that have only lived here for a short time never knew what it used to be like but I do so I ask the council to say yes and build them both now we need more than just sainsburys and whichever Robinson's want to build we need a lot more now
More shops more supermarkets and more jobs yes please yet isn't it funny how all them years ago when ulverston was a nice town then they decided to put a bloody motorway through the centre of ulverston just for barrow and for people to go and shop in barrow because it certainly didn't benefit ulverston having it put in so now we have to expand in the modern world the 1800s have long gone but it seems a lot of people want live like that well tough its nearly 2013 time for change and growth build the supermarkets in ulverston now because look how many shops have shut now and they haven't even built the supermarkets yet so who is to blame for shop closures now

San Diego Comic Con 2010
Alright, so I'm super excited about Comic Con this year. It'll only be my second time going. I had so much fun the first time around, getting to meet some great people like Mr. Fun, and have been dying to return since.
I'd love to hear what other fellow ANers will be attending, especially if you have a table.
Any highlights that I should keep an eye out for?
Re: San Diego Comic Con 2010
I'm excited this year too! For the first time in a few years. No table though. Just walking around with good people connecting with other good people. Thats the main thing I look forward to. Connecting and checking out the art. SO much good stuff in artists alley. Make sure to make a big stink about artists alley. I'd like to see artists alley take over the con, I'm tired of huge corporate noise machines they call booths.
Re: San Diego Comic Con 2010
I love Comic-Con and always will, but for those who want an alternative I know that theres a group who are trying to get a convention going during the same week that will have a focus on the actual artists. They are currently scouting out a place for next year.
Re: San Diego Comic Con 2010
I forgot to add the name & link. Thats why we need a longer editing window.
Re: San Diego Comic Con 2010
I was origianlly planning on going but lossing my job and having to come home and no job sice kind of canceled that I even was sedualed to attend acen anime central in rosemont last may however wasn't able to. I hope everyone has fun thou and if you can send me some autographs
Re: San Diego Comic Con 2010
I will be attending Saturday! Already starting to find photos on the web! Looking forward to seeing the Tron Light Cycle!
Sorry to hear you wont be able to attend palmtree, but very understandable under the circumstances.
@paburrows That will be cool for sure! The artists have been getting pushed out more and more it seems. I am guilty in that I do enjoy the big Hollywood feel, but the artist booths are still my biggest to do when going.
Anyone one here going to be selling sketchbooks or anything to promote? I am compiling my list of booths to hit up. Would love to add some more to it!
Re: San Diego Comic Con 2010
I went and man it was awesome! I/m really starting to feel the over crowded nature of it though. They need to have a second one at a different time of the year or something to try and suck off some of the crowd from the main convention or something. Maybe that Creator-Con will do that at least to a small extent. Everyone back at home that I spoke to was envious though that I was able to go.
Re: San Diego Comic Con 2010
Yeah it has got very busy. It was a blast for sure. It was the first year I did not even plan to go into any of the panels just because the wait is getting too ridiculous. When walking into the masquerade party there was a line already formed for Sunday!
However it was a blast just walking around people watching and purchasing all the latest sketchbooks and art books.
Re: San Diego Comic Con 2010
For me, the best part of ComicCon is meeting lots and lots of creative people. I always return home really jazzed. The energy at the con is infectious. Even for an old guy like myself.
Re: San Diego Comic Con 2010
I agree I waited in a lot of lines and got to know some many interesting new people. Its always just so inspiring with all of the people that you meet, all of the art and many other things.
Re: San Diego Comic Con 2010
I totally agree about the energy. I always leave feeling so excited to pick up a pencil.
@Mr.Fun - I think I saw you walking into the center. I was a bit too shy to just come out of no where to ask for a picture and a hand shake. Although with some of the characters who attend I guess I would be pretty tame.
Re: San Diego Comic Con 2010
Aw, Zane. You should have said hello. I would have really liked to have met you.
Re: San Diego Comic Con 2010
So I went to SDCC and I have to say, I have mixed feelings about the event. Mostly, I was disappointed. I thought it was a mess...too many people. It was virtually impossible to catch a lot of the panels unless you waited in lines for hours before hand. Moving through the crowds was a chore and exhausting. The artists alley was almost sad to walk through. They've been pushed off to the side. The only other time that I went to SDCC the artists were still in the middle of the exhibition floor...and you could still walk through the aisles relatively easy.
On the other hand, you can never put a price on the people you actually do get to meet...and even though it was a bit sad to see how the artists have been pushed off to the side, it was still awesome getting to see them and buy their books. I myself was really looking forward to shaking hands with Kevin Dart, who's one of my favorite illustrators and biggest artistic heroes. His seductive espionage book was a must buy: http://yuki7.bigcartel.com/product/seductive-espionage
So in conclusion, although I'm glad I went to SDCC this year, I don't see myself going back anytime in the near future. I have high hopes for this Creator Con concept though. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Whitesnake are an English rock band, founded in 1978 by David Coverdale after his departure from his previous band, Deep Purple. The band's most popular hit was 1987's Here I Go Again which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in October of that year. The early material has been compared by critics to Deep Purple, but by the mid 1980s they had moved to a more commercial hard rock style. The band's 1987 self-titled album was their most commercially successful, and contained two of their most recognisable songs, "Here I Go Again" and "Is This Love". In 2005, Whitesnake was named the 85th greatest hard rock band of all time by VH1.

After a water crisis was averted in Prince George's County, Montgomery County representatives are considering the reliability of their local water infrastructure.
In parts of Prince George's County, the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission temporarily enacted water restrictions last week after a 54-inch pipe threatened to break. The main was repaired and back in service by July 19, thanks to a small team of workers who were able to repair a stuck valve, according to a WSSC press release. WSSC's Prince George's County customers did not lose service, the release said.
Stuart Freudberg, director of environmental programs at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, said the aging water main reflects the state of some of the region's water infrastructure.
The utility may have few options when it comes to pipe maintenance and replacement, depending on the location. In some parts of the system, redundancy exists, and secondary pipes are able to shoulder some of the pressure when necessary.
"In general, the utilities seek to have redundancy," Freudberg said. "That clearly doesn't exist, necessarily, in every single case."
Valves in some locations may help ease pressure on certain pipes, but "the only true redundancy is a second pipe," WSSC spokesman I.J. Hudson said.
According to WSSC documents from April 2013, the cost of replacement for all the utility's large water mains, from 36 inches to 96 inches in diameter, would cost about $2 billion.
Montgomery County Councilwoman Nancy Floreen said the public is generally aware that WSSC is making improvements to the infrastructure.
"They know WSSC is working hard to upgrade their system, and all the ratepayers know about it because their rates have been going up," Floreen said.
Freudberg said the price of replacing water mains hinders the process, and the cost would likely fall on those who pay WSSC bills.
"You can't unduly burden your ratepayers with huge rate increases all the time because people, especially at the lower end of the economic ladder, can be spending huge portions of their salary [on water bills]," he said.
Many of the aging mains in the region are located near the Capital Beltway, Freudberg said, but old neighborhoods don't necessarily mean old mains.
The Crown development in Gaithersburg, at Fields Road and Sam Eig Highway, is a new community currently affected by the aging infrastructure.
A developer for the project, Westbrook Partners, has attempted to negotiate with WSSC about two aging water mains underneath the site. The mains, installed in the 1960s, are 36 inches and 60 inches in diameter. No units have yet been built near the mains, but the developer is concerned that WSSC's warnings of exploding water mains could hit home.
Westbrook Partners has offered to pay for replacement mains in return for reimbursement credits, but WSSC asserts the development is not eligible for the credits.
A major break in a 66-inch water main on River Road in Bethesda in 2008 led to a deluge of water that trapped 15 people and shut down roads.
The main broke before it was fitted with a fiber-optic monitoring system, like the one that warned WSSC of a possible break in the Prince George's County main earlier this week.
"WSSC is very focused on ... setting priorities to addressing the most critical need, but they can't always keep ahead of every single pipe and every single issue," Freudberg said.
The economic impact of water main breaks or water restrictions on businesses is unlikely to be permanent, but it depends on the business, said Marilyn Balcombe, president of the Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce.
"For the most part, business interruption is a short-term problem that businesses would likely recover from," Balcombe said. "However, we're just coming out of a recession, and reserves may be low."
For retailers, customers are often forgiving if they know a location was affected by a water main break.
"Businesses are resilient, and customers are resilient," she said.
Balcombe and The Greater Bethesda-Chevy Chase Chamber of Commerce President Ginanne Italiano said they have not heard complaints or concerns from member businesses about possible water main breaks or related WSSC issues.

What are some good uses for VBScript? Is it still a widely used language today?
closed as not a real question by Mark Trapp Nov 17 '11 at 23:26
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Not to be flip, but I think there are no good uses of VBScript left, and it should be entirely replaced by Powershell, which can accomplish all the same tasks much more cleanly.
Sadly it is still in use in many places for simple automation (renaming files and the like) and as a scripting language in many applications.
You can read more about how to get started with Powershell here.
Legacy applications in Active Server Pages would be another use of them today. For example, someone may have built a web application years ago in this and it just never got transitioned into something else. I'm not saying this is a good use of VBScript, but it is done and is something to be managed in some places these days.
There's a couple of thousand useful vb scripts can be found at the the MS Script Center
You can see them by clicking the VB Script link on the repository page.
VBScript is still very useful as an application scripting language, as it ships with Windows. ie, like VBA.
I guess on older versions of Windows that can't run Powershell admins might find it useful as a scripting language, since you know it will be installed by default. But Microsoft recommend converting VBScript to Powershell where possible, so hopefully that will be the final nail in it's coffin. But the pessimist in me still feels it rotting corpse might linger for some time yet.
I don't know of others but I use VBScript to Automate Adobe Photoshop and it works like a charm. We have build a commercial application that will help users in correcting images/photos at a click of a button.

Is there something wrong with Cyanogenmod?
What you want is the stock version of android Samsung put on the phone, there is no revert as it was deleted when you put cyanogen. As you dont seem to have a copy I would go to Samsung support site or you will have to trust another source on the net and download it there.

Friday, October 25, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (October 25, 2002) -- Memorial Center in Johnson City, Tenn. is where area football fans are going to be Saturday when No. 4 Furman comes to town to take on East Tennessee State at 3:30 p.m. The Buccaneers have faced off against the Paladins 28 times, with Furman holding a substantial 21-7 advantage. Furman won a commanding 19 of the first 22 games in the series, but the Bucs have held the advantage in recent matchups between the two teams, winning four of the last six games, including three consecutive in Memorial Center. Those three games have however been very close, with ETSU winning by a combined seven points. This weekend's contest is the first of two televised games for the Buccaneers this season, as CSS will roll into town early Saturday morning. The Buccaneers provided their fans with two memorable television games last year. Con Chellis kicked a 41-yard field goal as time expired to give East Tennessee State a thrilling 23-21 victory over The Citadel on Oct. 4. Two weeks later, the Bucs stunned No. 1 ranked Georgia Southern, 19-16. GSU had a 9-0 lead ath the half before ETSU exploded for 19 points in the third quarter and held on for the victory. Cecil Moore had two touchdown receptions for the Bucs in the win. East Tennessee State is often at its best against ranked opponents, having won nine games against ranked teams in the last seven seasons. Seven of those wins have come in the Mini-Dome. During Paul Hamilton's five previous seasons, he is 4-9 against ranked opponents. One of those wins was a 23-21 upset over #6 Furman the last time the two teams met in the Mini-Dome on Oct. 21, 2000. ETSU, like most schools, enjoys a home field advantage playing in Memorial Center. One of only seven college owned domed stadiums in Division I football, the Buccaneers have posted seven straight winning records at home, including winning five of its last six and going 15-4 dating back to the 1999 season. In each of the last two years, the Bucs have scored an upset over a top-10 ranked opponent in the Dome, including knocking off top-ranked Georgia Southern a year ago. Under Coach Hamilton, the Bucs are 22-10 in the Dome. The Buccaneers got back on the winning track against future SoCon rival Elon last Saturday afternoon, 31-15. Senior quarterback Jatavis Sanders connected with senior wide receiver Cecil Moore for four touchdowns setting a career-high for touchdown passes and with 287 yards passing. The Buccaneer defense also possibly played their best game of the season last Saturday, collecting nine sacks and three interceptions. Sophomore linebacker Lamar Beam and senior linebacker Justin Reinier each had four sacks on the afternoon. Junior safety Montreal Harkley had two interceptions while freshman safety Primus Glover, starting the first game of his career had his first-ever interception.

A cozy yet extremely popular mountainside town, Breckenridge's blend of log cabins, 19th-century gold mining history, and modern-day snowboarding culture makes it stand out among the rest of the Rocky Mountain ski resorts. Breckenridge is popular with young people, and the slopes are typically streaked with brightly colored jackets and pants that the high school and college-aged crowds wear.
Although outdoor sports, whether skiing and snowboarding in the winter or hiking and fishing in the summer, are this town's focus, the area actually offers some decent historical attractions. The town is extremely walkable, and comes with lots of shopping, fine restaurants, and luxurious lodging options.
People flock to Breckenridge from all areas of the world during its peak season. Although the town has a year-round population of less than 3,000 people, more than 30,000 will be in town during tourism months. Festivals and fairs, like the Breckenridge Film Festival, also draw large crowds into town.
This small town can be divided into three main areas for visitors: Downtown; the Arts District; and Main Street Station/Peak 9. All of these areas are technically "downtown," but each has a distinctly different vibe. The Arts District is home to a cluster of historic buildings, and offers outdoor art shows and theater performances. The heart of Breckenridge, and therefore the busiest area, is Downtown, which is also one of the largest historic districts in Colorado. If you want to be within walking distance from numerous shops, restaurants, and museums, Downtown is your best bet. Visitors looking to stay away from most of the crowds might like Main Street Station/Peak 9, where activity is lacking in comparison to the rest of the town.

It was a sloppy game for the Iowa Cubs as Vitters, Rizzo and Cardenas each committed an error. Brett Jackson went 1-5 with a triple and Nate Robertson continued his inspired campaign to be released within the first month.
Rain Out
There's just no way to sugarcoat it- Hayden Simpson was awful tonight. His final line was 2.2 IP 6H 6 ER and 4 BB to no strikes and a HR allowed. He worked from behind all night with a fastball between 85-87 mph. We all know the mono case and the elbow injury from last year but the bottom line is this- if the kid isn't right (and I don't see how he can be considering he has lost 10 mph off his fastball in less than 2 years) then shut him down until he gets better. He isn't learning anything from getting destroyed and until he is throwing harder than a 40 year old middle reliever its not going to get much better. Now, I was surprised to see that the future Mrs. Hayden Simpson responded to one of my tweets to Daytona announcers concerning Hayden's weight loss and we struck up a chat. She seems like a very nice person and apparently Hayden is slowly gaining weight back and really trying to get back to where he was in college. And honestly, despite the snark that Simpson gets around here its not his fault that the Cubs drafted the guy so early and its not his fault they continue to send him out to the wolves. I had really hoped the Theo/Jed regime would handle him a little better but at this point there isn't much reason to hope we get much out of him until he gets healthy and thats not a sure thing to ever happen.
It was about a week ago that MD and I were praising Patrick Franceson and since then he has pretty much sucked. So blame us. However the Asian Sensation that is Yao Lin Wang picked up another win. Wang went 2 IP and allowed no runs, no hits and just a walk. He still has an ERA of 0. I would really like to see him start considering he did well in that role in Boise but maybe they just want to limit his IP for now. 20 yr old OF Oliver Zapata went 3-4 and currently sports an OPS of 1.992.
