AT&T agreed to pay Atlantic Tele-Network -- which operates as Alltel -- $780 million in cash for wireless operations that cover 585,000 mostly rural-based subscribers, as well as spectrum and retail outlets across its six-state region. Alltel is selling licenses in the 700, 850 and 1900 MHz ranges -- spectrum that is compatible with AT&T's network. Atlantic acquired the operations from Verizon Wireless in 2010 for $223 million. "The dispersed, all-rural, multistate geography of the Alltel customer base and network has become increasingly challenging to operate in this era of rapidly growing mobile data usage," Atlantic CEO Michael Prior said.

DENVER (AP) -- Snowfall in the Colorado mountains is lagging this season, but forecasters say the winter is young and there's plenty of time to catch up.
The snowpack statewide was 73 percent of the long-term average as of midweek. It ranges from near-average in the south and southeast parts of Colorado to just 63 percent in the northwest corner.
Kyle Fredin of the National Weather Service said Thursday the jet stream has been steering snow to the north and south of Colorado, but the pattern might shift in mid-January, bringing more snow.
Vail and Beaver Creek ski resorts are reporting an 18-inch base midway up the mountain while Breckenridge is at 23 inches.
Aspen is reporting a base of 16 to 34 inches at its four mountains.

The subject of this sketch was born near the mouth of Little River, Creek Nation, in 1856; the son of Palmer, a half-breed French and Creek, who came from the old country in 1833 and died at Fort Gibson in 1865, only surviving his wife (Watey Palmer's mother), about two weeks, she dying rather suddenly, close to Fort Scott, Kansas. At the outbreak of the war, the subject of out sketch went with his parents, who refugeed for three and a half years among the Sac and Fox Indians in Kansas. When ten years of age, after the death of his parents, Watey was living with his grandmother, an old full blood, who had gone down with the Confederacy. With her he lived until sixteen years of age, after which he went to school at Tallahassee Mission, paying his way by work done during vacation time, for which he deserves unstinted credit. After two years spent at that school, the nation, recognizing his desire for education, placed him at Henderson Southwestern Baptist Union School, Jackson, Tennessee, for four years, after which, in 1881, he became a student for two years at Westminster College, Fulton, Mo. Returning home during the election, he was elected by the Little River Tulsie Town to represent them in the House of Warriors, which office he held for four years. During this term he took a commercial course at Bryant & Stratton's College, St. Louis, and was after this elected National Auditor for the Creek Nation, in 1887. In 1890, in company with Captain G. W. Grayson and Rowley McIntosh, Mr. Palmer was sent to Washington, in order to try and prevent some noxious legislation prejudicial to the interests of the Creeks, and although a young man, he did some excellent work. In 1890 he was appointed Superintendent of Census for Wewoka District. Prior to this he was appointed Cattle Tax Collector by ex-Governor Ward Coachman. In 1890 he entered the field as a candidate for second chief. Mr. Palmer has 215 acres of land under cultivation three miles east of Wewoka, besides 120 head of cattle and 26 head of horses, but most of his time, for some years, has been spent in the mercantile business, having clerked at C. Hall's establishment for four years, G. M. Perryman's, Eufaula, for one and a half, and Patterson & Foley, of same town, for two years. He also took charge of C. Hall's store, at Red Fork, for one year and a half. Mr. Palmer is an unmarried man, and though so young, is steady and industrious. He has a very thorough education, and with his ambition it is safe to infer that he will fill the highest offices that his people can bestow upon him. He is a gentleman of good address, and very popular.

Special to Page 2
Tell me you saw "60 Minutes" last night.
The shock! The horror! The brutal reality!
And I'm just talking about Mrs. Christo's hair.
Half-baked rimshot, please.
If we're going to welcome back The Weekend Water Cooler -- or, simply, The Cooler, to our close personal friends -- let's do it with the half-baked comedy with which this space debuted in November, 2000, when Page 2 launched.
That's right. You're reading a Page 2 Original, although some of you might only know this space as "The Hangover" from the past NFL season. And that's OK.
Longtime Cooler readers know Hangovers are always welcome here, anyway.
So ... about Jose Canseco on "60 Minutes."
The shock! The horror! The brutal reality!
And now I'm just talking about that quick shot of Canseco in the Oil-Slick Teal of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
I covered the Oakland A's in 1999-2000, when Canseco -- "Hosie," as those in the know called him -- was fading out in Tampa. I talked to him a few times before A's-Devil Rays games.
The damndest thing is, Canseco was a smart, interesting, engaging guy with whom to talk. And it wasn't just me. Those who covered the A's during Canseco's heyday say he was one of the most intelligent players in the clubhouse -- well aware of the realities of the business and the world around him. Problem was, they tell me, Canseco fell prey to the siren song of guaranteed money, and he was never the same after signing his big deal.
Anyway, what to make of him now? I'm not here to tell you. I'm just here to be amazed by the wife of Christo, whose hair is a color not found in nature, shown in its glory during the "60 Minutes" segment on their Central Park art.
As for Canseco, I will say only this: He's admitted to steroid use. Jason Giambi admitted it to a grand jury. Ken Caminiti admitted it before his death. Barry Bonds all but admitted it in his grand jury testimony.
It's become so overwhelmingly obvious that it's been a huge part of baseball over the last 15 years, who am I to call Canseco a liar about his Mark McGwire allegations?
Draw your own conclusions, and accept baseball for what it is. And please, accept Mrs. Christo's hair for what it is, too.
On then, to the Weekend List of Five:
1. Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower ...
Caught some of that Pro Bowl on Sunday night.
Ah, Hawaii.
Sweet, sweet Hawaii.
The only place in the world where airports smell good. I swear, they do. Ever been? The open-air airport in Honolulu smells of orchids. The airport features cool shade at the luggage carousel as you look out on the sun-splashed hills of Conde Nast's "Best Island in the World." And the tiny airport in Kauai welcomes you with fragrant papaya juice as you wait for your bags.
Back on the mainland, you get the stale air of the Detroit Airport and a line 50-deep at the O'Hare McDonald's. At LAX, you get blocked at the drop-off curb by some C-list celebrity's limo.
Ah, Hawaii. Sweet, sweet Hawaii.
Is there any bigger collective knee to the groin of the Eastern United States than a sports TV weekend that features the bright blues and greens of Pebble Beach on a Saturday and the blinding brightness of Oahu on a Sunday?

I've been given the task of defining a server build and build process for a move to Windows Server 2008 for a few hundred physical machines and a few hundred VMs.
I'm from a Solaris background and am trying to pick things up from someone who has moved on and left no documentation for previous processes.
I have discovered various Microsoft tools, including WDS, WAIK, MDT, but I'm struggling to find anything that gives a coherent overview of how they fit together and how to do it. (I fear that my reliance on googling will not serve me as well for MS products).
I realise that this is a big topic, but is anyone able to make any recommendations as to the best tools and techniques for creating a Windows Server 2008 build including applications.
Thanks in advance. Tom

The degree to which federal policies, such as the Clean Air Act (CAA), actually improve air quality is not fully understood. We investigate what portion of reductions in ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) that occurred 1999–2005 can be attributed to sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NO x ) emissions reductions from implementation of title IV, phase 2, of the 1990 CAA Amendments. A detailed statistical model links sources and receptors over time and space to estimate the relationship between changes in emissions and observed improvements in air quality. We employ relatively transparent statistical methods incorporating uncertainty bounds to complement point estimates of the complex physico-chemical fate and transport models commonly used to estimate source-receptor relationships associated with long-range emissions transport. Monitor-specific estimates of changes in PM2.5 from changes in emissions from individual power plants are highly significant and mostly of the expected relative magnitudes for distance and direction from sources; and the model performs well on out-of-sample forecasts. Although we observe substantial model uncertainty, using our preferred specification, we estimate that the title IV, phase II emissions reduction policy implemented 1999–2005 reduced PM2.5 in the eastern USA by an average of 1.07 μg/m3, roughly 8 % (standard deviation, 0.11 μg/m3) versus a counterfactual of no change in emission rates per unit of energy input. On a population-weighted basis, the comparable reduction in PM2.5 is 0.89 μg/m3, roughly 6 %. This model presents a practical tool that can be used for policy analysis of air quality.

A few weeks ago, I spoke at ExactTarget's Connections 2010 event about my favorite subject of Content---specifically: What Stories, Blogs, Video & More Should Be Doing for You (and Your Clients).
The upshot was how to bring content (like stories, podcasts, blogs, and so on) more central to any brand's marketing; I talked to an audience for the first time about some of the concepts C.C. Chapman and I explore further in our book, Content Rules. (That "first time" bit was a cool thing, by the way.)
The following day, a panel of high-level marketers representing companies of all stripesfrom the long-established (Kodak) to the cool upstart (Threadless), and a few in between (Virgin America, Benchmark Brands) offered up their take on trends in marketing and business, like: How have social media and technology changed the evolution of marketing? And how do you get people to engage with your brand and the products you sell?
One of the major themes that emerged there was (surprise!) ... Content! And specifically, what stories, blogs, video, livestreaming and more should be doing ... Yeah. Like I said.
It was gratifying to hear some of the same themes I talked about the day before reinforced by the CMOs of some pretty smart companies. I'd like to think it was just because they all attended by presentation the previous day (ha!). But the truth is that producing great content is something so many companies are increasingly embracing; I particularly loved the panel's comments around the idea of "storytelling" as a cornerstone of what they're doing to market online.
So what does storytelling have to do with business?
"Storytelling" is one of those works that I always find impossibly squishy in a business context. For me, it always conjures up more performance art than industry; more fiction than fact.
But the idea of storytelling as it applies to business isnt about spinning a yarn or fairytale. Rather, its about how your business (or its products or services) exist in the real world: how people use your productshow they add value to peoples lives, ease their troubles, help shoulder their burdens, and meet their needs. Think in those terms when producing customer stories, case studies, or client narrativesso that people can relate to them. In that way, your content is not about storytelling, its about telling a true story well.
Here's how to relate the art of storytelling to your business:
1. Ask, "What are my customers genuinely interested in knowing about?" As the panel said: The job of marketers is to generate new ideas and pull compelling stories out of their organizations by figuring out what their audience is genuinely interested in seeing and reading or knowing about. Think about what you do, how to tell that story, and how to engage your customers through the stories you tell, said Jeffrey Hayzlett, author of The Mirror Test: Is Your Business Really Breathing? (Business Plus, 2010), who left his job as Kodaks chief marketing officer in May.
Thats critical especially for business-to-business companies, which often sell intangible products or services that arent intrinsically interesting, but the way people use them are interesting. At Virgin America, for example, the hallmarks of what the brand is known forleather seats, mood lighting on its aircraft, wireless connectivityexpresses the story, in part, of how the airline goes beyond the ordinary, added Porter Gale, vice-president of marketing at Virgin America.
2. Tell how your products or services live in the world. Actually---don't just tell: Show. Uncover the real-life instances of how your product lives in the world by looking to your customers for inspiration. Have their story be your story, said Cam Balzer, vice-president of marketing for Threadless, a community-driven T-shirt and apparel company. Benchmark Brands incorporates customer stories of how its products help people into its marketing.
If a shoe is meant to help someone with heel pain, Benchmark doesnt just state that fact, "but we tell the story of someone for whom it made a difference," says Trish Tobin, Chief Marketing Offier of Benchmark, which sells more than 2,500 styles of comfort, wellness and therapeutic footwear through its Footsmart brand.
3. Have their stories be your story. At Threadless, an artist receives $2,500 if his or her shirt is printed and sold in the Threadless store, and his or her inspiration for that design is woven into the site, and, more broadly, into the companys brand. Tell the story of how your products came to be, or how your customers use them. Even if youre making something less naturally prone to story than customer-designed T-shirts or therapeutic shoes, your product can still be content, Balzer says.
* * * * *
This is only a small bit of what the panel discussed (but it was the best part!)
So what do you think? Has your company embraced storytelling? How?

Re: Consolidat
ing Student Loans
This is what I'm saying. My student loans are with Sallie Mae. They show up on my credit report was almost 20 seperate accounts. Some of them show me being late. This should not be the case, but the CRAs won't accept my dispute, and Sallie Mae refuses to offer any assistance. When I pull my credit report from any of the three CRAs, some of them are listed under the "negative items" or "potentially negative accounts" or "accounts not in good standing" or whatever the terminology is on each of the 3 CRAs because they were listed as late. The loans have been in deferrment for a few months, and they were paid on time basically this whole year before they went into deferment. I'm pulling the reports I got directly from the CRAs after being denied credit was well as went I checked my FiCO score.
What I'm asking is if I consolidate just those, since I know paying off a loan or consolidating one doesn't really help your credit score, would it be worth it to do it anyway just to have accounts with no late payments add to the report, but not closing the ones with no late payments so I don't lose benefit of the age of those accounts.
I guess in a nutshell what I'm asking can adding accounts with a positive history help your score any or will the fact that the negative history has been there longer counteract that?

12-month Target: $30+ because of explosive revenue growth and 1.4 share float
The recent AMD deal will be a significant revenue influx for tiny DRAM with $8 Million Market Cap and 1.4 Million share float. Before any new AMD memory revenues DRAM was almost profitable and trading at 0.2 X sales compared to 1.4 X sales for sector. With a recent incredible jump in memory prices since DRAM's last quarterly, DRAM's revenues will multiply going forward.
In the last quarterly earnings release, John H. Freeman, Dataram's president and CEO commented, "Since the close of our third quarter on January 31, 2013 we have seen an increase in pricing which can positively impact our memory business for the balance of the fiscal year and beyond."
Mr. Freeman concluded, "In addition to a healthier semiconductor industry, we continue to develop and expand our relationship with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., which together with our RAMDisk agreement and other new opportunities we are currently pursuing should provide new sources of revenue, profit and growth for Dataram in 2013 and beyond..."
Why do you continue to pump this relentlessly?
You must just be a really wonderful person trying to help people increase their prosperity.
Can you translate that into English?

SAP, which just acquired SuccessFactors for $3.4B, is looking to "add new businesses every 18 months or so," says co-CEO Jim Snabe. Like other SAP execs, Snabe boasts his company has undergone a major cultural shift as of late, and that it wants to be a major player in collaboration software. Could that last remark be a sign SAP is eying Yammer or Jive Software (JIVE - previously)?

* Senior club appearances and goals counted for the domestic league only and correct as of 14:16, 13 July 2007 (UTC).
Dave Sarachan (born June 7, 1954 in Rochester, New York) is a former U.S. soccer coach and player. He spent two seasons in the North American Soccer League and four in Major Indoor Soccer League before retiring in 1982. Since then, he has coached at the collegiate, professional and national team levels, most recently as the head coach of the Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer.
Playing career[edit]
High school and college[edit]
Sarachan grew up in Rochester, New York, graduating from Brighton High School in 1972.[1] He then played two years of college soccer at Monroe Community College where he was a junior college All American in 1973 and 1974. After the 1974 season, he transferred to Cornell University, where he played two more years, and was named the team MVP as a senior.
Following his graduation, the Rochester Lancers of the North American Soccer League (NASL) drafted Sarachan. He played two seasons, 1976 and 1977, with the Lancers.[2]
After two seasons with the Lancers, Sarachan moved indoors, where he played for the Pittsburgh Spirit in 1978–79, and the Buffalo Stallions from 1979–1981.
Early coaching[edit]
While playing for the Lancers, Sarachan was an assistant coach at the nearby University of Rochester, and he was additionally the assistant coach at Cornell for one season in 1983.
University of Virginia[edit]
After one season, Sarachan joined Bruce Arena for the first time, becoming his assistant coach at the University of Virginia after Bob Bradley departed to become head coach of Princeton University.
After five years at UVA, Sarachan was offered the head coaching job at his alma mater Cornell, which he accepted in 1988. He stayed at Cornell for ten years, compiling a record of 64 wins, 63 losses, and 16 ties, and leading the team to NCAA tournament appearances in 1995 and 1996.
D.C. United[edit]
On December 17, 1997, Bruce Arena hired Sarachan as his assistant with D.C. United following Bob Bradley's departure from the team to become the head coach of the Chicago Fire. Although Arena would leave following the 1998 season to coach the United States national team, Sarachan stayed on, assisting new head coach Thomas Rongen.
National team[edit]
However, following the MLS Cup-winning 1999 season, Sarachan left to become a full-time assistant to Arena with the national team, where he would be very instrumental to the team's scouting and preparation for the 2002 World Cup. Sarachan's intimate knowledge of soccer and his personal relationships with the men on the team was a major contribution to the team's historic run in Korea.
Chicago Fire[edit]
Sarachan received his first professional head coaching opportunity soon after the United States' impressive World Cup run when, after the 2002 season Bob Bradley left Chicago for his hometown MetroStars. Sarachan was chosen for the Fire position, and had a tremendous first season, leading the Fire to the MLS Supporters' Shield with a 15–7–8 record, as well as a U.S. Open Cup victory, and an appearance in the MLS Cup, where they lost to the San Jose Earthquakes; for his performance as a rookie, Sarachan was named the MLS Coach of the Year. Since being named only the second coach in Fire history on Nov. 4, 2002, Sarachan guided the squad to its third Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup crown in 2003 in addition to appearances in MLS Cup 2003 and the 2004 Open Cup Final.
Sarachan's second year was significantly harder, however, as star defender Carlos Bocanegra left MLS for Fulham before the season began, and he lost national teamer DaMarcus Beasley to PSV Eindhoven in midseason; numerous other injuries plagued the team, and the Fire ended the season tied for the league's worst record, at 8–13–9. The Fire finished at 15–13–4 in 2005. In Sarachan's fourth season, the Chicago Fire took their fourth Lamar Hunt Open Cup. The Fire's appearance in MLS Cup 2003 led to an invite to the 2004 CONCACAF Champions Cup, during which Chicago registered a combined 2–2–0 record against San Juan Jabloteh of Trinidad & Tobago (quarterfinals) and Costa Rican powerhouse Deportivo Saprissa (semifinals).
On June 20, 2007, Sarachan was fired as head coach, by Fire GM John Guppy.[3] Sarachan finished with a 55–50–31 league record with the Fire and 75–57–33 across all competitions.
Los Angeles Galaxy[edit]
Sarachan was hired by the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2008 along with current head coach Bruce Arena. The two of them led the Galaxy in the second half of the 2008 season when there was really no chance of the team making the playoffs. In 2009 the turnaround was made, Sarachan and Arena brought in 16 new players and the Galaxy cut their goals against deficit in almost half and was in first place for much of the season. They eventually led the Galaxy to MLS Cup 2009 where they eventually lost to Real Salt Lake on penalty kicks.
Sarachan currently lives in Southern California with his wife, Cherie and two children, Ian and Alexa.
Awards and honors[edit]
On December 27, 2014, the Rochester Lancers of the Major Arena Soccer League will induct Sarachan into the Rochester Lancers Wall of Fame as one of Rochester's "soccer pioneers". Sarachan played for the original Rochester Lancers of the North American Soccer League.[1]

Chili May Help Tame Insulin Spikes
July 14, 2006 -- Spicing up your diet with cayenne chili might lower insulin spikes after meals.
That news comes from researchers at Australia's University of Tasmania, including graduate student Kiran Ahuja and Madeleine Ball, MD, who heads the university's School of Life Sciences.
The researchers studied 36 healthy adults who were about 46 years old, on average; their average BMI was 26, which falls in the overweight (but not obese) BMI range.
For three weeks, participants ate their normal diet, without any spices. Then they headed to the researchers' lab after fasting overnight.
At the lab, participants provided blood samples and then ate a meal consisting of a burger, bread, and a sugar drink. They were told to finish the meal within 10 minutes; afterwards, they provided more blood for post-meal tests.
After one more week on their spice-free diet, the participants repeated the meal test. But this time, their burger was seasoned with a cayenne chili spice blend.
The researchers used the blood samples to measure participants' levels of insulin -- a hormone that controls blood sugar -- before and after the test meals. Average insulin levels spiked higher after the bland meal than after the chili-seasoned meal, the study shows.
Why Insulin Matters
Here's why insulin levels are important. Abnormally high insulin levels may be a sign of insulin resistanceinsulin resistance, in which the body falters in its ability to control blood sugar. Ultimately, that may lead to type 2 diabetesdiabetes -- the most common type of diabetes -- and other health problems.
Participants repeated the four-week cycle, with one change: They added the cayenne chili spice blend to their usual daily diet.
Afterwards, they had a final test meal: bread, chili-seasoned burger, and sugar drink. Once again, they provided blood samples before and after that meal. And once again, their post-meal insulin increase was lower than it had been after three weeks of bland food.
The researchers aren't exactly sure how chili helped reduce post-meal insulin spikes. They note that capsaicin -- the fiery chemical in chili -- and chili's antioxidants might play a role. Ahuja's team calls for more studies on chili's effects on insulin spikes.

A brave boy of 11 has made the heartbreaking decision to stop treatment after a six-year battle with cancer.
Reece Puddington was first diagnosed with neuroblastoma – a rare form of the disease – in 2008, with doctors telling him there was no cure.
Now, with the support of his parents Kay, 40, his full-time carer, and Paul, 48, a sales assistant, Reece has decided against more life-prolonging drugs.
He has made a bucket list of things to do before he dies, including meeting actor Johnny Depp, seeing his mum learn to drive and building a hobbit house in his garden.
His wishes sparked a worldwide effort from well-wishers to realise his dreams, with most of the list ticked off through generous gifts and donations. He has now made the decision to freeze that appeal.
On his Facebook page he wrote:
Reece's decision sparked an outpouring of grief from people tracking his battle against cancer on Facebook, with more than 300 followers posting comments.
Lynne Montgomery Fairminer wrote: "Your story goes straight to my heart and my eyes are filled with tears, you're such a brave brave boy and as a Mum myself I can't imagine what your own Mum is going through, thinking of you and your family you very special and inspirational little boy xxxx"
While Sara Johnston posted: "You are an inspirational young man and your Mum is very brave. She must love you so very much. I will still pray for a miracle for you xxxxxx"
After huge media attention, Reece posted the following message on his Facebook page:
"When my mum started my blog back in 2008 when I was just 5 years old, telling my story through my eyes in a way that I would have told it if able, it was never to gain media attention.
"Given my recent health the media attention has now become too much and we now want to concentrate on quality time as a family.
"From now on we will only be dealing with one journalist, Liz from the Whitstable Times. I hope you understand the position we have unwittingly been put in."
Reece underwent chemotherapy treatment at The Royal Marsden in Surrey and remarkably his cancer had gone by early 2010, meaning he was able to enjoy life as a normal little boy again.
But the youngster and his family suffered a devastating blow in August 2012, when Reece said his head 'felt funny' while in the shower and they were told he had a liver tumour.
Reece was given a newly-trialled drug but his family were told the devastating news that the cancer would be terminal this time.
Tests revealed it had spread to his bone marrow, chest, the left side of his pelvis and his right thigh bone.
It follows the heartbreaking story of Tom Attwater - the terminally ill dad who left his stepdaughter Kelli a poignant legacy of fatherly advice in a letter and vowed to raise £500,000 to save her from cancer.
After surviving the disease twice, Kelli, five, may need pioneering treatment in the US because she is likely to relapse.
Thanks in part to generous Mirror readers , who raised £40,000 when we told his story in December, Kelli's appeal stands at £234,000 – not yet halfway towards the target.
Businessman Tom, 31, who lives with fiancee Joely, 26, in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, says: "My tumour is growing and I don't have any chances left, but there's still so much to do for Kelli's appeal."
How to help save Kelli
Text STOP60 to 70070 and your donation amount £1-£10 or go to www.justgiving.com/helpkelli (part of a registered charity FAN - Families Against Neuroblastoma)
Tom Attwater's big thank you message to all the Mirror readers who have donated so generously after reading his letter to Kelli - with at least £25,000 added to the fund .

International Business: World Trade Center Utah: Connecting international business at the crossroads of the West
"We are a small organization in a small state," he said after meeting with the entire organization in a small 15-foot square conference room. "Therefore, we must make the most of our assets and communicate, collaborate, and cooperate. However, we are nimble, quicker to respond to opportunities. There is no bureaucracy here."
This cooperative spirit means that others are sometimes credited for the help provided by Cramer and his staff. As long as it means Utah businesses and exports are growing, Cramer has no objections.
"In fact, sometimes companies don't want us to communicate their successes at all," he said. "One businessman, for example, will return thanking us for helping to guide him to excellent business opportunities in Japan. However, he will half-seriously joke, 'please tell everyone that business in Japan is terrible so that my competition does not join me.'"
Business is good for both sides in international trade, and after cheerfully telling about great opportunities overseas, Cramer will quickly return to enumerating the strengths of business in Utah.
"We're always trying to encourage the government to adopt business-friendly policies in regulation, taxes and education," he said. "The state of Utah consistently does so, and that is why so many companies are enticed to move here from California and elsewhere."
These policies also help foster business that originates and stays in Utah.
"For 150 years, Utah's primary exports – minerals – have come from the mines in our western hills," continues Cramer, referring to the respected schools like Brigham Young University and the University of Utah on the eastern sides of major Utah cities. "Now, a close second are the high tech exports that come from the minds in our eastern hills. Now the University of Utah is launching more tech startups than any other U.S. academic institution, including MIT."
Cramer notes that the state's location "at the Crossroads of the West" also makes it an enticing location for enterprise. In addition to the rail lines that gave Utah the crossroads name, the state also has an international airport that makes international travel and shipping quite convenient.
The state also has thousands of miles of pipelines and is centrally located for trucking, with what the Utah Department of Transportation reports to be the highest percentage of highway truck traffic in the nation. This means Utah-based businesses can get their products to market faster and cheaper than many businesses located elsewhere.
Any venture considering Utah as a business opportunity in Utah should visit Cramer, Goryunova and the rest of the WTC Utah staff. It is not their enthusiasm that makes the opportunities sound great; it is actually Utah's many spectacular business opportunities that generate so much enthusiasm.

It is with heavy hearts and a sense of great loss that we Iranians, the descendants of Cyrus the Great, honor the memory of the victims of the Holocaust. We are in solidarity with the Jewish people in their unshakable resolve that never again any aspiring individual or government would even contemplate, much less carry out, the horrors similar to the ones committed by the Nazis.

Arabic mandatory at city public school
Beginning next semester, all 200 second- through fifth-graders at PS 368 in Hamilton Heights will be taught the language twice a week for 45 minutes — putting it on equal footing with science and music courses.
One reason Principal Nicky Kram Rosen selected Arabic — as opposed to more common offerings, such as Spanish or French — is because it will help the school obtain a prestigious International Baccalaureate standing.

My mission is to raise the clarion call about the imminent and present danger of expansionistic theocratic Islam. Having witnessed first-hand the horrors and indignity that Islamofascism visits on people it subjugates, I have taken it upon myself to do my part in defeating this ideology of oppression, hate and violence.

Torvalds Announces First Kernel 2.6.27 Release Candidate
Linus Torvalds has announced the first Release Candidate of the next kernel version 2.6.27 on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML); this signals the end of the merge window.
Developers used the window to patch the kernel, adding 12MB of code. In a posting on the Linux Kernel Mailing List, Torvalds said that he was "a bit nervous" about the size of the -rc patches making the kernel at the same time, saying "it means that we are good at merging it all, but I have to say that I sometimes wonder if we don't merge too much in one go, and even our current (fairly short) release cycle is actually too big", although the new additions, which weigh in at 12MB are no bigger than for the 2.6.24 und 2.6.25 kernels, as Torvalds notes.
The changes in 2.6.27 include the addition of the UBI filesystem for flash memory, and tracing and firmware loading enhancements. The kernel mainly includes kernel drivers and architecture updates, says Torvalds concluding the status report.

2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer SS SS 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
This Trailblazer was the worst road commode I have ever owned. The quality at GM sucks. At 5k mi the trans. slipped. At 8k mi the heater core plugged, and 10k,,,heater core again. Dexcool was eating the seals. At 13k mi, the engine suddenly locked up, after a tow, the dealer told me the eng. was blown.GM at first would not honor the warranty,,,no surprise with Obama at the helm. Squeaks, rattles, loose, and cheap plastic trim, everywhere you look, I was disgusted.I drove this mechanical [violative content deleted] to a Subaru dealer, and bought an 09' Outback LL Bean. Wow! What a difference.
It's now 2011, and 24k mi later, my Outback is the best thing thats ever happened to me. I have done nothing to this car but put gas in it, and change the oil. It is extremely sure footed on the snow, the GM system sucks at this too. Subaru has far outpaced GM in the AWD segment, and left them clinging to the edge of the toilet bowl in quality. [violative content deleted].
Close the doors at GM.
Pretend it never happened.
Fondly remember the classics of the 50's and 60's they made, and move on down the road of life without anymore democrats in the driver seat.
Bought this truck a month and a half ago after test driving everything from Audi A5's to Infiniti FX35/45's to 2010 Camaro SS. My Trailblazer SS with 3SS package blows them all away. With the exception of how much time I spend at the gas station is not important because similar to other reviews, you do not buy this truck for the gas mileage. Amazing ride. Will take a Grand Chverokee SRT8 off the line and see them in the rearview in a couple of seconds. Most Mustangs GT's dont have a chance. Touch screen Nav with Bose stereo and dual climate are a nice touch. No complaints whatsoever. If you are looking for a conventional suv but aren't ready to make the move this is definitely the way to go
Whiplash speed.... Touchscreen nav. Bose stereo. 20 inch rims. Body style, very comfortable leather w/ suede. When windows are closed, you cannot hear anything outside. It's like being in a soundproof music studio. Crank the Bose and its like being at a concert.
Being 6'3" I only wish the seats could go down a bit more to provide a little more head room.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 1993
Running Time: 74
Company: Bi Line Productions
Cast: Heather Hart, Sharon Kane, Busty Belle, Mark Andrews, Natasha (I), Wes Daniels, Steve Regis, Chance Caldwell
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Specialty
The only connection to the title occurs in the first scenario, which has Steve Regis as an English tutor for Chance Caldwell's Russian emigre girlfriend. Otherwise, it's just a series of bi scenes thrown together with so-so results. Sharon Kane and Busty Belle take a steam bath together, and, because of the steam, the first five minutes are spent trying to sec what the hell is going on. Next up, is a re-run of Flame, Steve Regis and Mark Andrews from Bi Bi Birdie, and although this time we see the entire scene, it's not much better. The tape ender with Wes Daniels, Heather Hart and Mark Andrews is by far the best, with wood aplenty and a variety of positions. Given the fact that the guys can't keep it up for the girls, and none of the scenes have anything to do with each other, the best advice I can give you is to pass this by unless you're a die-hard bi fan.

Of course genes can?t pull the levers of our behavior directly. But they affect the wiring and workings of the brain, and the brain is the seat of our drives, temperaments and patterns of thought.

Some opportunities we come across click with our constitutions and set us along a path in life.

...the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince its propriety.
[Jane Austen] [Behavior] [Attitude] [Manners] [Employment] [Enjoyment] [Propriety]
The porpoises and whale themselves, in their quests for entertainment, often created problems. One summer a fashion developed in the training tanks (I think Keiki started it) for leaning out over the tank wall and seeing how far you could balance without falling out. Several animals might be teetering on the tank edge at one time, and sometimes one or another did fall out. Nothing much happened to them, except maybe a cut or a scrape from the gravel around the tanks; but of course we had to run and pick them up and put them back in. Not a serious problem, if the animal that fell out was small, but if it was a 400-pound adult bottlenose, you had to find four strong people to get him back, and when it happened over and over again, the people got cross. We feared too, that some animal would fall out at night or when no one was around and dry out, overheat, and die. We yelled at the porpoises, and rushed over and pushed them back in when we saw them teetering, but that just seemed to add to the enjoyment of what I'm sure the porpoises thoguht of as a hilariously funny game. Fortunately they eventually tired of it by themselves.
[Behavior] [Dolphin] [Karen Pryor]
This civilization is the impact of the world's consumption behavior.
[Life] [Toba Beta] [Civilization] [Behavior] [Consumption] [Trend]
What we believe to be the motives of our conduct are usually but the pretexts for it.
[Belief] [Behavior] [Miguel De Unamuno]

Lordy lordy... this is so democratic... it's easy to see why Any party hierarchy would be less than thrilled. As an Independent (and a Grange member) though, I'm gonna enjoy this. ^..^
parties can pick their own candidates, they just dont get to hijack taxpayer-funded elections to do so.
So the State will not let the parties use ("hijack") the primary to choose their candidates, but if, as is the case with presidential candidates, the parties choose their candidates by convention and ignore the results of the primary, everyone gets all pissy that caucuses are undemocratic, inefficient, the work of Satan, etc. Well, which is it?
I have no sympathy for the party machines in this case. This form of "top two" primary is actually the *best* thing since sliced bread for minor parties, as many people will be able to vote Green, Libertarian, whatever, and not feel as if their vote doesn't matter in the general election.
I don't understand all the haters. Your point about parties not being able to use taxpayer money to pick their candidate is spot on.
Anything that gets us closer to an instant run-off is good in my book.
I hate political parties. Screw 'em.
Sigh. Open primaries. Caucuses and conventions are disgusting.
@3 - how is this process good for minor parties? They will now never appear on a general election ballot in Washington State.
I think Josh is missing the point. The law, as set by the top-two primary initiative, says that the winners of that primary are the only ones to go on the general election ballot. So I guess the parties can have their fun conventions & caucuses, but it looks like it will be a big circle jerk, with no outcome on who ends up on the November ballot (at least not without further legal challenges).
Poll Watcher,
I disagree. If you had a Republican, a Green, and a Democrat in parts of Seattle; you could end up with the Green and the Democrat being the top two. Substitute Libertarian for Green, and Seattle for rural Washington and the same holds true.
We tried to talk to them about it when the WSDCC sent out someone to speak on the ruling at KCDCC, but they still seem to be stuck in old thinking at the State level.
See - this is why you don't get rid of a perfectly good and functional Blanket Primary ...
Minor parties will now be dead, quite frankly. People running as Democrats can be sued for trademark infringement (yeah, good plan, sic lawyers on them ...).
Of course, this will get rid of the Green candidates in the 7th Congressional District, as well as the sacrificial lambs running as Libertarians and Republicans in Seattle.
@7 - It's true, the Green and Libertarian parties both opposed I-872.
But, what is their reason for existence? To win elections? Or, to get on every ballot and lose elections?
With their opposition to I-872, it seems that their prime focus is the latter. They try to get on as many ballots as possible and present the threat of siphoning votes in order to affect the major parties' platforms.
If they were trying to actually win elections, I think they would support I-872. That would give them the best chance to win if they could end up in the top two, which is a possibility in very liberal or very conservative areas. I mean, is it really necessary to feed a poor Republican to Jim McDermott every two years, or would a McDermott vs. Green ballot be more meaningful? And, is it really necessary to throw a Democrat to the wolves in Adams or Benton counties?
It seems to me that minor parties opposing a top-two primary is completely self-defeating.
It's best to think of this not as a Primary Election, but as a General Election with a November run-off. That's the way they do it in Louisiana, which our "top-two" was modeled after.
Problem is, the Legislature, in its wisdon, moved the "primary" to the middle of August -- the middle of vacation season! Now more than ever, voters need more awareness than ever, lest they miss what's now the most important election of the season.
Our system is designed to make it so the average person doesn't vote, and only the well-financed and well-recognized, especially incumbents, get elected.
Which is why Sen Clinton is so shocked that she's losing.
Word to Josh! There is no good justification for taxpayers to fund the candidate selection process of a private party.
KK @ 2: If party members are unhappy with how their party selects its candidates, the solution isn't for the state to step in and manage the process for them. The solution is for them to reform their party, or find a different one.

Sylvia Robinson, Founder of Sugar Hill Records and Godmother of Hip-Hop, Dead at 75
Sylvia Robinson, who enjoyed a long career as a singer, songwriter, producer and co-founder of Sugar Hill Records, died early today in New Jersey, according to the New York Times and other sources. She was 75.
While she had success as an artist in the 1950s - as part of the duo Mickey & Sylvia, with hits including "Love Is Strange" - and the 1970s - as Sylvia with "Pillow Talk" - there's little question her crowning legacy will be the formation of Sugar Hill Records and the Sugar Hill Gang, which released the first commercial rap record, "Rapper's Delight," in 1979.
The company -- which she co-founded with her husband, Joe -- was the dominant record label in the early years of hip-hop, following "Rapper's Delight" with hits by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five - whose 1982 hit, "The Message," was arguably the first socially conscious hip-hop release.
Billboard.biz will have a more extensive obituary later today.
