|Associate Head Coach- Throws/Multis
|Sixth Season
|Previous College:
Cody Fleming is in his seventh season with the Gauchos and the sixth as the program's Associate Head Coach. Responsible for the Throws and Combined Events.
Since the start of the 2012 season, Fleming's athletes have won 18 Big West Championships in six different events, set 6 school records and qualified for the NCAA Preliminary Round 33 times. His athletes have produced a total of 45 Big West medals. At UCSB, Fleming has guided six athletes to the NCAA Championships in the Javelin, Hammer, High Jump, Heptathlon and Decathlon.
Since 2012, Fleming has developed 44 different Big West scoring athletes.
2016 was another successful season for the UCSB Field Events as Jessica Emde qualified for the NCAA Championships in the high jump after winning consecutive Big West titles in the event. Newcomer Tyler Nelson took the Big West title in the decathlon with a score of 7220, making it four decathlon wins in five years for the Gauchos. Matthew Kuskey reached the NCAA First Round with a javelin throw of 222'0 and Melissa Rake rewrote her javelin school record with a throw of 160'1. Freshman Hope Bender placed third in the Big West Heptathlon, 5114, and 400m hurdles, 59.74. Bender also placed fourth in the conference 100 hurdles with a 13.87w effort. JR Tori Usgaard scored 5075 in the heptathlon to place fourth at the conference finale.
Fleming helped two throwers advance to the NCAA Championships in 2015- Albert Hughes and Thomas Gore-Schreck. Hughes had a season best throw of 209'3 in the hammer while Gore-Schreck erased a fifteen year old UCSB record in the javelin and had a season best throw of 234'3.
At the Big West Championships along with Emde, Sophomore Darion Williams, decathlon, and Thomas Gore-Schreck, javelin, each took home conference wins.
During the 2013 season, Fleming's athletes won six Big West individual event titles including a historic three throw gold medal haul for senior thrower Irene Kujore.Kujore became the first athlete in Big West history to claim gold in the hammer, shot and discus in the same championship meet. Kujore's season bests of 193'5 hammer, 51'7 shot and 166'4 discus all qualified her for the NCAA First Round.
Also in 2013, Derek Masterson took home his second consecutive decathlon championship and upped his personal best to 7631, a school record on the new scoring tables. Masterson, also a talented javelin specialist claimed his third career Big West Championship by winning the javelin with a lifetime best heave of 218'3. Fleming also guided Mitch Haag to a third consecutive Big West win in the high jump. Haag's personal best of 7'2 ½ puts him second all-time in the UCSB record book.
Showing a wide range of ability, two of Fleming's throwers would go on to set UCSB records at the 2013 Big West Championship- in the sprints and jumps. Grace Esslinger, set personal bests of 13.95 in the 100H and a new school record of 11.80 in the 100m. Esslinger also ran on the school record setting 4 x 100m and 4 x 400m relays. Veronica Gines a talented hammer/long jumper for the Gauchos, set a new school record in the long jump with a leap of 19'5 ½ at the Big West Championships. That jump came 2 hours after she finished 5th in the women's hammer throw.
In 2012, the UCSB high jumpers had a stellar season claiming the first three spots at the Big West Championship. The UCSB throwers were led by Alex Umstead who had season bests of 196'11 in the hammer and 57'7 in the shot put In total, four men would eclipse the 56m (183'9) mark in the hammer- Umstead, Adam Shigem 190'8, Chris Hamilton 187'4 and Kyle Strawn 184'1. Mike Guerra added to the Gaucho throws efforts by placing second in the Big West javelin with a mark of 219'1. In the decathlon, Mike Powers combined with Masterson to help UCSB claim the top two spots at the Big West Championships. Powers added to the all-times lists with his score of 7138.
The women were led by Irene Kujore, who would go on to win the shot and hammer at the Big West Championships and add silver in the discus. 2012 was a break out year for Kujore, who also found success indoors in the weight throw with a season best of 64'9 ¼- establishing the benchmark for the UCSB indoor record board.
Prior to arriving at UCSB, Fleming spent three years coaching at the University of Nevada where he helped field some talented field event squads in the Western Athletic Conference. Over the previous three seasons at Nevada, he coached 13 NCAA Regional qualifiers, 14 WAC medalists, 1 WAC Champion, 3 NCAA Championship qualifiers and one NCAA All-American.
The 2011 Nevada throws squad sent three athletes to the NCAA Championships. Alex McAlman qualified for the NCAA Final in the women's hammer and had bests of 193'9 in the hammer 161'5 discus and 58'2 in the weight throw. Four Nevada javelin throwers qualified for NCAA West Regional Meet, two would advance to the NCAA Final where Marissa Hammond claimed All-American honors. The javelin quadruplet combined to produce some impressive season bests- Danielle Stallworth 142'10, Sarah Nichols 148'7, Marissa Hammond 161'10, Sabine Kopplin 169'3. Not to be outdone were the Nevada vertical jumpers. La Tijera Avery claimed the WAC Indoor high jump title and went on to record an outdoor leap of 5'10 ½. Indoor the Nevada jumpers placed 1-2 while outdoor they recorded 2-3-4 WAC finishes.
Prior to Nevada, Fleming coached at Lane Community College where he worked with one of the top up and coming javelin talents in the US- Cyrus Hostetler. Hostetler was the 2008 NWAACC Champion and record holder in the javelin (241'7). Hostetler had the best community college throw in the nation and went on to represent Lane Community College at the 2008 Olympic Trials where he finished 18th. Hostetler had the 14th best throw in the US in 2008.
Fleming competed at the University of Oregon and was a member of the Duck's 2005 Pac-10 Championship team –finishing fourth in the decathlon. Prior to Oregon he attended Lane CC and won the NWAACC title in the discus and was runner-up in the decathlon.
He holds a CSCS certificate from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). He is a Corrective Exercise Specialist through the NASM and has a Throws Specialist certification from the USTFCCCA.
Fleming also coaches his wife Annett, who competes for Germany in the heptathlon. Fleming recorded two 6,000+ scores in 2015 with a best of 6051. In addition, he mentored Derek Masterson, a former UCSB decathlete, to top-ten finishes at the 2014 and 2015 USA Outdoor Championships and 2014 Pan Am Cup.
Fleming graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in Journalism and received an M.Ed. from the University of Missouri in Educational and Counseling Psychology. He is married to the former Annett Wichmann, a four-time track and field All-American while at the University of Hawaii.
Fleming By the Numbers

4 Year Plan - First Year
As a first-year student at Saint Joseph's University, you may be wondering what the Career Development Center can offer you. In the next four years, you will be learning a great deal both in and out of the classroom. Upon graduation, you will have several options in your life after Saint Joseph's. Perhaps you will embark on a full-time career, or continue on to graduate school, or spend some time as a full-time volunteer. Here are some tools that can assist you as you think toward the future:
Individual Career Consultations: Our staff of experienced counselors is happy to meet with you to discuss individual career-related needs. Students may call our office at 610.660.3100 to schedule an appointment. For quick questions or for assistance with resumes and cover letters, please visit our Drop-In Centers, located on the third floor of Campion and in Mandeville 206-A. Please check the home page for our most updated hours.
Self-assessment: We offer two online assessments to help you evaluate your personality and interests in terms of majors, internship settings and careers.
Major selection: Whether you have entered Saint Joseph's University without having declared a major or you are considering a change in major, the CDC is available to assist with the decision-making process. Explore majors.
Mock Interviews: If you have never had a formal interview before, or if you would like to brush up on your interview skills, a mock interview is an excellent opportunity to prepare for the real thing. Mock interviews are available through two formats: each semester, we hold Mock Interview Days, when professional recruiters visit campus to conduct mock interviews with students. Additionally, you may call our office at 610.660.3100 to schedule a mock interview with a career counselor at any time.
Career fairs: The CDC hosts three on-campus career fairs each academic year. Employers come to campus looking to hire for internships, part-time and full-time positions, so there is something for everyone! Career fairs are a great way for you to meet with employers from a variety of industries to ask questions, gather information and to drop off a resume. Visit Career Fairs on our website for upcoming dates and further information.
Job listings: SJUcareers is a comprehensive online site that allows you access to hundreds of Full-time Jobs, Internships and Part-time Jobs - including job opportunities on campus. The on-campus job opportunities posted on SJUcareers include both work-study and non-work-study positions. Through SJUcareers, users can post resumes and cover letters and apply to positions electronically. To access your account (or to create a new SJUcareers account as an alumnus), please refer to the SJUcareers log-in window on our website: www.sju.edu/careers.
Internships: The CDC encourages all students of all majors and class years to complete at least two internships before graduation. An internship is a great way to explore various career options, to "test drive" a career to learn more about it, to gain real-world experience, and to build up a resume. Many internships provide a salary or the option to earn academic credit (with the approval of one's academic department).
Career Workshops and Events: Throughout the academic year, the CDC facilitates a number of presentations on such topics as resume writing, interviewing, as well as a variety of career fields. Check out Career Events on our website for a complete listing.
Hawk Career Network: One of the best ways to explore various career options is to speak with someone who is currently in that profession. Through a partnership with the Alumni Office, thousands of SJU alumni have volunteered to mentor current students. Students are encouraged to visit Alumni Networking on our website for further details.

Footballs Future Signature and Avatar FAQ
Welcome to the Signature and Avatar FAQ, We feel this will be helpful with the new members and signature makers that have joined recently.
1. What is a signature?
A signature is something that is attached at the end of each of your posts if you choose to activate it. Although your sig can be text, many people opt for some type of graphic that shows a favorite team, favorite player, or school.
2. What is an avatar?
An avatar is much like a signature but smaller. An avatar is displayed under your name on the left side of your posts. An avatar can be no larger than 80 pixels wide and 80 pixels tall.
3. What are the restrictions on signatures here?
Sigs are limited in size to 600 pixels in width and 100 pixels in height. Animations are not allowed.
4. What are the restrictions on avatars?
Just like signatures, animations are not allowed. The maximum height is 80 pixels in height and 80 pixels in width.
5. How do I get a signature?
There are several ways to get a signature. The most popular way is to request one either by posting your specs in a certain artists thread or by posting in the
Sig/Avatar REQUEST THREAD (for no specific artist)
6. How long will it take to get my sig made?
This all depends on who you are asking and how busy they may be. Many of the newer artists seem to produce sigs at a much faster rate. You also must look at how many other sigs have been requested before you, as artists tend to make their sigs in the order in which they were requested.
7. Now that I have made a sig, how do I host it?
You can go to any free hosting site, people use
the most.
8. How long does it take to make a sig?
Every person is different but 30 minutes is about the average, some take more time, some take less.
9. What program is most commonly used to make these sigs?
Although many different programs can be used, the most elaborate sigs are usually made with Adobe Photoshop. Paint and GIMP are used as well. Any image modification software will work.
10. How do I improve my skills?
Practice, practice, practice To make sure your skills dont plateau, make sure to try many different styles of sigs. To improve, try and read a lot of different tutorials which are very easily found by doing a simple Google search.
11. Ok, I have the URL for my signature, now what?
Once you have the URL, you must paste it into your signature, which is in your profile. To make sure the picture is displayed, place the [IMG] tags around your image like so:
12. How do I download brushes?
Go to a site such as
and browse for brushes (usually search abstract brushes or grunge brushes). An easy way to do this is to make a folder on your desktop named Brushes. Once you have that folder, download the brushes and extract them to your Brushes folder. Once in PS (Photoshop), click on the brush icon. Then go up top to where you can change brushes and click the little blue button with an arrow. Scroll down to load brushes and then find your file. Following this procedure, all your new brushes will be on the very bottom of your brushes list.
13. How do I get new fonts?
The following is for Windows users only. Go to a font site (such as
) and then download a font. When it is downloaded, extract it to the C:/WINDOWS/FONTS (if C is your main drive). It is possible the number of fonts allowed will be limited.
For Macintosh you just download the font and double click. It will open your font manager. Select add font. That's it, no restart. Just open Photoshop and the Font will be available.

Some things to stray away from
Please don't make a new thread for every single sig you request, it really makes it hard to view the forum and some of the more important topics in there.
One thing that tends to discourage artists from making you a sig is when you post a request multiple times to a bunch of different people. If you have no preference of who makes the sig post your request in the Signature Reqest for no specific artist thread, someone will get back to you. If it's been some time (at least a week) and noone responds to your initial request assume that it was missed and re-post it.
- request the exact same sig be made by multiple people. You can only use 1 sig at a time so someone will have made a sig for nothing! Its very disrespectful in an artists eye and is a growing problem in the sig forum.
- try to rush someone into making a sig, they take time! A lot of artists also have busy lives outside Footballs Future and dont have the time to make everything right away (school, work, sports, etc). They also like to take their time to make sure their art is high quality.
- make several requests in a short period of time. Its very similar to the one above, but by this I mean dont make a different request every couple of days. Its another pet peeve of artists when the sig they spend time on is no long of use in less than a week.
- make a separate thread to request a sig. It clutters the sig forum and nobody will respond to them. The easiest way to get a hold of an artist is to request in their gallery or request in the thread for no specific artist.

Three people and three cats are without a home after a two-alarm house fire in Kearns.
Firefighters responded to 911 calls at 3:15 p.m. to find a flames and smoke coming from a house near 5400 S. Tropicana Drive (3350 West), as well as some flames that had jumped to the house directly west of it, said Unified Fire Capt. Clint Mecham.
Firefighters made sure everyone, including three cats, were evacuated and then went inside the first home to put out the flames. The fires were out about 25 minutes later, but not before a structure-bearing wall of the first home was damaged and its roof collapsed and the second home had siding damage, Mecham said.
One of the three adults who lived in the first home and a Unified Police officer who was helping control the scene suffered minor smoke inhalation, Mecham said. They were treated and released at the scene, he added.
The first home is uninhabitable for the time being, so the American Red Cross is helping the displaced trio, Mecham said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Acer demonstrated a new focus on high-end PCs last month when it announced the
Acer deserves some credit for the look of the Aspire 7600U. The system mostly has a clean and tidy appearance, with a familiar edge-to-edge display framed in glossy black plastic. The chromed plastic trim is clean enough, and the ports on the back sit neatly under a straight-lined overhang. Even the power cable received some attention, connecting directly into the chromed kickstand.
Running the power circuitry through the kickstand keeps the cable from cluttering the back of the system. The kickstand itself also deserves praise for its smooth, sturdy design. Anyone can recline the display back and forth along its 60-degree range of motion. I would always prefer that an all-in-one recline a full 90 degrees, but its easy adjustability makes it easier to accept the more limited travel.
The ability to recline helps facilitate using the touch screen, of course, and I'm glad to report that Acer has done a nice job with touch input as well. The edge-to-edge glass means your finger can travel freely to the corners and the edges of the screen, and the coating on the display provides just the right amount of friction. Touch input responsiveness isn't perfect, but it's consistent enough that it's not annoying.

The Dell XPS One has become a spoiler among high-end Windows 8 all-in-ones. It's the only system with a 27-inch, 2,560x1,400-pixel touch screen. And despite the high price of our XPS One 27 review unit, touch-screen models with lower specs start at $1,599. That gives the 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution Acer some real competitive difficulties given the Aspire 7600U's $1,899 price tag.
The Aspire 7600U also suffers with regard to its computing components. The laptop-grade Core i5 CPU in the Acer is anemic compared with Dell's Core i7 chip. Even the $1,599 version of the XPS One 27 has a faster CPU in its desktop Core i5 3330S. You can also see in our chart above where Acer has cut corners in its other specs. It uses a slower 5,400rpm hard drive, and skimped on allocating video memory.
The one point that might look to be in the Acer's favor is its Blu-ray drive, but Lenovo acts as the disruptor here. Yes, the $1,599 Dell does not have a Blu-ray drive option, and you'll need to wait until December before you can add Blu-ray to our XPS One 27 review system. That might argue for the $1,899 Acer as a good deal if you want Blu-ray, except Lenovo also has a Blu-ray drive in its

Our benchmark results speak for themselves when you compare the Acer with the Dell. With respect to the other PCs in our charts, the Acer is the third most expensive all-in-one, behind the XPS One 27 and the $1,999
The Aspire 7600U is not so slow that it's useless. With a discrete Nvidia GeForce GT 640 graphics chip, it even makes a capable-enough 3D gaming PC, playing Borderlands 2 at full resolution and image quality. It just doesn't deliver enough computing performance to justify its cost.
Acer rounds the Aspire 7600U out with a handful of extras, some useful, some gimmicky. Three HDMI jacks on the back of the system, two in, one out, are a highlight, providing great utility for the Acer as a second home entertainment display, and also the ability to extend the Acer's desktop to a second monitor. Along similar lines, the optical digital audio output is a nice bonus, as are the four USB 3.0 jacks.

Three Francis Marion University School of Education alumni received 2013 awards at a reception Feb.12, as part of Homecoming activities.
Chasity Davidson ('10) received the Novice Educator Award, Dawn Fowler Walker ('11) received the Veteran Educator Award, Dr. Robert L. Heaberlin ('84) received the Administrator Award and Amy McAllister-Skinner ('07) received the Education Leader Award and serves as the 2013 South Carolina Teacher of the Year.
The Novice Educator Award recognizes a successful FMU graduate who demonstrates leadership in education and has been an educator at the early childhood, elementary, middle, or high school level for one to three years. In addition, the candidate must convey a strong sense of pride and loyalty for his/her alma mater, demonstrate success in his/her educational endeavors and serve his/her community through active involvement in civic and/or charitable and service organizations.
The criteria for the Veteran Educator Award and the Administrator Award are the same as outlined for the Novice Award but he/she must be an educator or administrator at the early childhood, elementary, middle, or high school level with four or more years' experience.
Davidson graduated from FMU in December 2010 with a bachelor's degree in early childhood education. In August 2011, she was hired as a first grade teacher at Savannah Grove Elementary in Florence School District One. She serves on both the science and social studies vertical teams and the Field Day Committee at the school. She lives in Effingham with her husband Josh who is also a graduate of FMU. The couple has a one-month old daughter, Mckinley.
Before making her way to FMU, Walker graduated from Emory University with a joint degree in philosophy and religion. Walker decided that she wanted to be a teacher and went back to school. She received her bachelor's degree in elementary education from Coker in December 2008. She began working in Florence School District One at Timrod Elementary in January 2009. She currently teaches fifth grade science and social studies. In December 2011, Walker earned the M.Ed. in instructional accommodations from FMU.
She is currently the 2012-2013 Teacher of the Year for Timrod Elementary. Walker was also chosen as an Honor Roll Teacher, which is one of the top four in the district and finalist to the District Teacher of the Year. Walker lives in Quinby with her husband, Mitch, and twin eight-year old boys, Will and Harrison.
Heaberlin has been an educator for 41 years with 29 years in public schools in Florida, Ohio, and Georgia and 12 years of private school in South Carolina and Georgia. He has taught at the elementary, middle, and high school levels and also been a principal at all three levels of education.
He earned his bachelor's degree from Ohio University in elementary education in 1972; a master's degree in elementary education from FMU in 1984; a specialist's degree in educational leadership from West Georgia College in 1990; and an Ed.D. in educational leadership from the University of Georgia in 2000.
In 2004, Heaberlin was selected as one of 15 principals nation-wide to be a member of the National Association of Secondary School Principals' No Child Left Behind Task Force. In 2007, this task force made 21 recommendations to Congress and 11 of them were adopted that affected changes in the law. He was also named the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) Middle Level Principal of the Year for 2011-2012 and the University of West Georgia's Alumni of the Year in Education.

New KICTeam Product to Benefit All Merchants Using POS Terminals
AUBURN, Maine -- April 23, 2013 -- The challenge of properly cleaning the Europay-MasterCard-Visa (EMV) read pins within new EMV ready point of sale (POS) Card Reader Terminals, is now greatly reduced by a new product from KICTeam, the industry leading manufacturer of cleaning cards. This Universal Card Reader Cleaning Card featuring Waffletechnology has a unique patented design which engages the EMV read pins to easily, quickly and efficiently clean them without taking the terminal out of service. Studies on proper cleaning of POS terminals have shown that 80% of all devices sent for repair could have remained in service if cleaned.
"This ability to immediately clean an EMV Terminal will save merchants money, time and increase the longevity of the equipment," said Kevin Stearn, director of KICTeam Europe. "Cost saving conscious merchants will have this product available on demand for every card terminal, to improve card terminal and employee efficiency while keeping checkout lines moving and customers satisfied."
"As the US embraces the European EMV / "Chip and Pin" style payment terminals, the responsible terminal and terminal component manufacturers have tested this latest Waffletechnology cleaning card with extremely positive results" said Peter Klein, CEO and president of KICTeam, Inc. "We are proud of our relationships worldwide that have resulted in approved OEM products, detailed ROI service studies and an acceptance by the end-user, that Waffletechnology is the most efficient means of cleaning their POS equipment."
About EMV
EMV is a global standard for credit and debit payment cards based on chip card technology. For more information, visit www.emvco.com.

These mules help to combat the effects of plantar fasciitis with a stabilizing orthotic footbed that realigns feet to a neutral position. The deep heel cups are molded into the sandals' comfortably soft, shock-absorbing EVA footbeds, providing arch support while aligning the feet into a natural position for those who over-pronate--when the heel bone angles inward--a determining factor in the development of plantar fasciitis. These mule-style slides secure the top of the feet with a halter strap and buckle while a gore closure and a roomy toebox ensure a comfortable fit. With faux canvas uppers imprinted with a subtle floral print. The flexible soles are made from resilient rubber molded with a slip-resistant pattern. The orthotic footbeds provide optimal comfort and support when the sandals are worn for at least a few hours per day over the course of two weeks. Women's sizes 6-11. Whole sizes only. For half sizes, order the next size down. Denim or Sand. (1 1/2 lbs.)

Great, lightweight shoe for sore feet!
By Baby Bellies
from Massachusetts
These shoes are made for those of us who need good arch support. I love them and have been wearing them non-stop in place of my "house" slippers (as Grandma used to say :) since receiving them. I'm so glad I found them and my feet couldn't be happier!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Great, comfortable shoes, at last!
By b
from Boise, ID
These shoes are great for my feet because I suffer, SUFFER, from plantar fasciitis.
By katydid1964
from Nanaimo, B C, Canada
See all my reviews
This is a very comfortable shoe that is easy to slip on and off when going out to the yard with the dogs. I love it.
just the right arch support
By GGma
from Big Sptrng,Texas
chose them for travel as will do a lot of walking.
I like the trendiness of their looks.
By Marge
from Northern CA
At present I am wearing the shoes all the time, hoping they will correct my walking. I have arthritis in my left foot and am hoping the shoe will, in time, correct the alignment of my leg...
Glad to find these.
By Derieux
from Badin, NC
I have had plantar fascitis for years and always thought I was destined to either wear running shoes or have pain. I am glad to have other options.
I am glad I bought this product.
By Penn
from San Francisco, CA
The shoes are perfect for me. I do a lot of walking and standing. They support me very well. I like the style and easy to get in and out. It was little bit pricey but it was worth it to buy.
Cute mules
By Dog Handler
from Fredericksburg VA
Love the fit and look.
Long straps
By Waddles
from Cambridge, MA
I like these shoes, so much that I purchase the same in another color. The only complaint is that when I adjusted the strap to fit, I ended on the last hole so the strap tip does acquire ground dirt. The shoe tends to slip off when I "run" but I think that's due to my foot having a low arch. The strap took a while to break in - I wouldn't wear it bare foot for long distances. Otherwise, they're quick to slip one and off, the colors work well with my work wardrobe. I even received complements from strangers. Best yet, my foot doesn't hurt.

All American Pet Brands is a really innovative pet company that is definitely thinking outside of the box. The first product they shipped out was the PAWTIZER. This is an incredible idea folks, you have animals running around outside (usually without shoes) and they are stepping in who knows what constantly. You have guests taking their shoes…

This is the official Grand Theft Wiki [[GTA IV]] Gripes list. For now, this page is open to everybody. If there is any abuse of this page it will be locked, and all submissions will have to go through the Discussion page. Please do not repeat other people's gripes. Also, no silly/stupid/idiotic/explicit/racist gripes or rebuttals. __TOC__ ===How To Gripe=== *Find the appropriate section for your gripe. *Make sure your gripe hasn't already been mentioned. *
Start a gripe with {{Gripe}}, then follow with your gripe.
===How To Rebut Gripes===
*Rebuttals to gripes should be directly underneath the gripe.
* Start you rebuttal with :{{Rebut}}, then follow with your rebuttal.
*Rebuttals should address reasons it is not a valid gripe, and should not accuse the gripe of being "silly" or "stupid."
== Gripes about GTA IV ==
{{Gripe}}Minor clothing items are removed during some cut scenes and missions. (glasses, hats)
:{{Rebut}}This can be easily explained by Niko having ''manners''... i.e. he would remove his hat or glasses before speaking with someone.
{{Gripe}}No store hold ups for easy cash or burglary missions.
{{Gripe}}You can't buy real estate like in San Andreas and Vice City.
{{Gripe}}You can't Own Businesses.
{{Gripe}}You can't do home invasion like in San Andreas.
:{{Rebut}} This isn't San Andreas.
{{Gripe}}The Hand-to-Hand Combat is not as good as in San Andreas.
:{{Rebut}} Stated somewhere else, the hand-to-hant combat has a new purpose: subduing enemies that you aren't meant to kill.
{{Gripe}}Stealth kills as in San Andreas are no longer possible.
{{Gripe}}There aren't as many different clothing styles and options as there used to be, especially in San Andreas and theres very few "silly" options like mad hats and such.
:{{Rebut}} At least there are some! Compare GTA IV to its predecessors, except San Andreas, in terms of customizing your pro/antagonist. Also, GTA isn't exactly a 'silly' game.
{{Gripe}}Friends often call to do things at inconvenient times and are often on the other side of the city.
{{Gripe}}Friends don't give you enough time to get to their location before they become impatient.:{{Rebut}}You can Hail a taxi, get in it, and do the auto ride feature which gets you there in a matter of seconds, or take a helicopter.
{{Gripe}}You can't evade or outrun your wanted level in a helicopter.
:{{Rebut}} It's rather difficult to run away when everybody in the city can see you flying 200 meters up in a helicopter. Don't you think?
{{Gripe}}The camera angle is too low with no way to change it, I spend all my driving time holding UP, same as San Andreas.
:{{Rebut}} Try different camera angles to find the one you like.
{{Gripe}}There is no riot cheat! No more chaos.
:{{Rebut}} As posted below somewhere, the cheat may be present, but no one's found it yet.
{{Gripe}}Some missions are somewhat difficult to pass.
:{{Rebut}} Try harder.
{{Gripe}}Ordering items on TV or at Tw@ does not work. You can't even order vehicles by calling them, even though it says so at AutoErotiCar.com.
{{Gripe}}Destruction of buildings isn't featured.
:{{Rebut}} Destruction of buildings would permanently(?) alter the area, and make it difficult for normal activities or activities to occur.
{{Gripe}}No matter how hard players try to get away from the police's radius, cops seem to spawn near the player's vehicle. Hiding is nearly impossible, even on secluded areas.
:{{Rebut}} Rockstar, I believe, was trying to make the game more realistic. It's like that in real life, too.
{{Gripe}}You can longer respond to random comments either positively or negatively.
:{{Rebut}} That was a minor feature, and its removal doesn't affect the game very much.
{{Gripe}}You must keep your 'friends' happy to retain their special perks. It would have been preferable to unlock their abilities once and then be left to the player to decide whether they wish to continue the 'friendship'.
:{{Rebut}} Don't you have to keep your friends happy in real life?
{{Gripe}}Street Gang-Banging and generally street gang-related missions have been dramatically reduced, means, no point in shooting other gang members.
:{{Rebut}} Since Niko is not exactly in one of those 'gangs', I would see no point in earning anything for the deaths of gang members.
{{Gripe}}Only 9 street races available and difficult to access them through the phone system.
:{{Rebut}} GTA is not exactly a 'racing game'. The racing missions are practically just mini games, save for when they affect the storyline.
{{Gripe}}No special races that unlock special cars (like Destruction Derby).
{{Gripe}}With so little to buy '''Money is worthless'''.
:{{Rebut}} You have guns to buy, don't you?
{{Gripe}}No parachute.
:{{Rebut}} there are also, more or less, no aircrafts to jump out of at high altitudes.
{{Gripe}}Cops manage to shoot your tires out, even if you're going 100mph.
{{Gripe}}Crashing on a motorcycle and bailing out of a car aren't fun anymore, and often result in death.
:{{Rebut}} once more, the game is meant to be more realistic.
{{Gripe}}You can't order cars from Stevie's garage once the text message missions he gives you are completed.
:{{Rebut}} That function was specifically for the aforementioned missions.
{{Gripe}}Combat is unrealistic and hard to attack people. You'll have to use weapons to kill them instead (not meleé ones).
:{{Rebut}} Hand-to-hand combat was meant to injure the victim, without killing him. It's useful for missions.
{{Gripe}}During shooting missions, you die very easily by shooters before you even run for cover. Enemies somewhat has great aiming, and [[Body Armor]] is highly recommended for hard missions.
:{{Rebut}} Once more, the game is meant to be more realistic. If you'd be facing down ten trained gunmen with nothing more than a few grenades and a pistol, do you think you would live?
{{Gripe}}Autosave may not happen all the time. Whenever you complete missions, you are forced to save the game manually instead of having the game to automatically save for you.
:{{Rebut}} Then try saving manually more often; You'll get used to it.
{{Gripe}}You cant fight the cops like in other GTA games.
:{{Rebut}} Actually, you can fight cops. Just take out your gun and shoot them. You also fight them in missions, like the Bank Heist.
::{{Gripe}}That's one of the worst ideas you posted on. If you take out a gun and shoot at the cop, you'll get 2 wanted star levels and more cops will swarm in and kill you. And if you attempt to fight a cop, he will easily arrest you and don't even bother holster a weapon. Cops will always shoot back anyways.
:::{{Rebut}}All cops attacked you in previous GTA IV games. And if you don't suck, then you are able to survive the cops with no problem. So yes, you can fight the cops.
{{Gripe}}The majority of the good cheats are gone (like chaos, citizens with weapons, cars fly away with hits etc etc etc).
:{{Rebut}}Rockstar never releases cheats they are found by the players most likely the same cheats are there, they just haven't been found yet.
{{Gripe}}There are only 2 pairs of glasses in the whole game, and both of them are ugly.
:{{Rebut}} That's your opinion.
{{Gripe}}Whenever you crash you go flying out of the windsheild.
:{{Rebut}}Well, the game designers are trying to be more close to reality. I always found it to be extremely far-fetched that [[Claude]], [[Tommy Vercetti]], and [[Carl Johnson]] could slam into a brick wall at 100+ MPH and emerge without a scratch.
{{Gripe}}There is no [[Tank]] in this game, nor are there airplanes.
:{{Rebut}}Tanks would be unrealistic, as the armed forces would not send a tank into New York City after a single man. Airplanes would also be unrealistic because air-travel around New York City is extremely restricted, plus there's really not enough area to ''need'' air-travel.
{{Gripe}}There are no car mods or even simply choosing your paint color.
{{Gripe}}The yellow boxes in front of safehouses are stupid and poorly made. Often AI traffic hits them as they're driving, causing the saved cars to disappear. Garages were much better and safer, and less chance of cars disappearing.
{{Gripe}}No "R3" Missions for anything other than the police cruiser.
{{Gripe}}There are not enough special vehicles like golf carts, lawn mowers, and bicycles.
{{Gripe}}There are fewer cars in the game compared to San Andreas, and no fixed-wing aircraft available to the player.
{{Gripe}}How the Voodoo was changed.
:{{Rebut}} That's your opinion.
::{{Gripe}} In my opinion, rockstar really blew-it by ruining a perfectly good muscle car with Hydraulics. Now, its just as useless as the perennial.
{{Gripe}}You can't operate trains like in [[GTA San Andreas]].
{{Gripe}}The [[Hunter]] helicopter isn't here anymore.
{{Gripe}}When Niko steers the car in any direction, the steering wheel doesn't move at all, which left Rockstar Games no explanation to this problem.
{{Gripe}}Airbags do not deploy on any vehicles when slammed head-on at high speeds.
{{Gripe}}You can't attach trailers in the back of your truck like in [[GTA San Andreas]].
{{Gripe}}Brucie's helicopter is useless. It would have been better if you could fly his helicopter yourself.
{{Gripe}}There are only two unique helicopters in the game, and only 1 of them is armed.
{{Gripe}}Rare vehicles aren't here anymore.
{{Gripe}}You can't go fast when driving boats because even the smallest wave will completely slow you down.
{{Gripe}}No Hydraulics.
{{Gripe}}Some car names have been recycled for new cars and the names don't really make sense with the car they resemble anymore.
{{Gripe}}No remote controlled vehicles (rc-car/plane etc).
{{Gripe}}No gocart.
{{Gripe}}The [[Quad]] is absent.
{{Gripe}}Most vehicles are very rare like the [[Infernus]] which you get only one chance to own, and never see again.
{{Gripe}}Iconic sports cars like the Stinger and Cheetah are nowhere to be found.
{{Gripe}}Only 1 sportbike is in the game, while GTA:SA had about 6 or 7.
{{Gripe}}Roofs from vehicles doesn't get crushed when you roll over. There aren't any roll bars from any cars.
{{Gripe}}The [[Dozer]] is gone, regardless on gong into any construction sites.
{{Gripe}}There are only 5 residential vehicle parking spaces, which means you are forced to store few of your favorite cars into the parking space, since [[Rockstar Games]] refused to explain why.
{{Gripe}}Ammo limits are really, really annoying.
:{{Rebut}}This is personal opinion. Ammo limits are not so low that it's difficult to complete missions. In fact, it's more than enough.
::{{Gripe}}What if you are confronted against FBIs and NOOSE patrol teams? If you're very low on ammo, then you're completely defenseless and then you die. Like in GTA SA, there were no ammo limits (you can store 900 rockets, have 7000 pistoms, SMGs, have 900 Flamethrower containers, etc.). Besides, Ammo limits are very humiliating.
:::{{Rebut}}After you beat the game the ammo limit is gone, you keep putting them in, after awhile it may saw you have 9999 of 30 for the machine gun but fire and reload and it says you still have 9999 of 30, ammo limit is removed with completion of the game.
::::{{Gripe}}Well, by the time the limit is gone, there won't be any real-good reason to utilise it. It would have been much better to just have it on while a person was going through the storyline missions and not after.
{{Gripe}}There are not enough "special" weapons like the chainsaw, the golf club, the pool cue, or the fire extinguisher like there were in GTA San Andreas.
:{{Rebut}} If you check the page under features it explains why many of the weapons have been removed. link is here. [[Grand Theft Auto IV/Features]]
{{Gripe}}Weapons are now seen on top of buildings, which is harder to find.
{{Gripe}}[[Tear Gas]] and [[Satchel Bomb]] was removed.
{{Gripe}}RPG can only hold 8 rockets.
:{{Rebut}} In real life, an RPG does NOT hold two thousand rockets. Sorry.
{{Gripe}}Weapons stores are few and far between.
:{{Rebut}}That is explained in game by the mayor's "Crackdown" on weapons
{{Gripe}}Little Jacob doesn't sell all the weapons, so an expensive trip to the gun store is required.
:{{Rebut}}Later on in game he sells armor, rockets, m16 ammo, grenades etc.
{{Gripe}}Dual-wielding weapons is no longer possible.
:{{Rebut}} In real life, would you be able to dual-wield a shotgun?
{{Gripe}}You can't use free-aim because the targeting reticule automatically locks on to pedestrians, so you'll have to use your [[Sniper Rifle]] to shoot pigeons. Even if you try and force the aiming reticule off of the pedestrians, it will simply lock on to another pedestrians, so there is no way to make the aiming reticule let you aim yourself.
:{{Rebut}}If you hold the aim trigger all the way down it targets a person, if you hold it part of the way down you can move the reticle around to aim how you please, like shooting through the winshield of a moving car to kill the driver.
{{Gripe}}Where is the [[fire extinguisher]]?
{{Gripe}}No one handed gun use.
===In-game World===
{{Gripe}}No random games like the off track betting, Pogo the monkey or other arcade games save from Qub3d.
:{{Rebut}}No, but the player can play pool or darts, or go bowling. New games for a new game.
::{{Gripe}}True, but I prefer arcade games. They're much better than doing bowling or darts.
{{Gripe}}There are only 3 unique [[Clothing]] stores in the game.
{{Gripe}}Given that a generic interior could be created, there's too few stores and the like to wander into compared to [[GTA San Andreas|San Andreas]] ([[Cluckin' Bell]] outlets as just a facade with no way in).
{{Gripe}}The trees are invincible.
{{Gripe}}[[Well Stacked Pizza]] is missing.
{{Gripe}}Military base is completely gone.
{{Gripe}}[[ProLaps]] are seen at the Starlight District, but is no longer accessible. [[Didier Sachs]] may be seen at the same location, but is also inaccessible, including [[Binco]].
{{Gripe}}You can't go underwater to see fishes, dolphins, turtles, even sharks.
{{Gripe}}The two largest straightaways in Alqonquin are both under construction, leaving no place to really go fast.
{{Gripe}}Alderney doesn't have any food stores and barely any places of interest, making it a useless area to visit.
{{Gripe}}The Bars is inaccessible because you have to be accompanied by a friend.
{{Gripe}}Rockstar Changed The Name Of The Islands(i.e. Staunton and portlands name are changed).
:{{Rebut}}True the names are changed, But no city would enjoy having it's name in a blow up, cop killing game. Since the September 11th terrorist attacks on New York it would be bad taste to have Niko a soviet immigrant cause hell and kill New York cops.
{{Gripe}}The Alderney safehouse is crappy and run-down, a downgrade even though the Algonquin safehouses are luxurious and much bigger.
{{Gripe}}Grand Central Terminal isn't accessible, despite being in the game.
{{Gripe}}[[ZIP]] clothing shop is gone.
{{Gripe}}In a game where money is useless you would think you could use some of that 1,000,000 dollars you make to upgrade the crappy apartments, buy a garage in the alley, add internet, add a big screen tv, pay rent, etc.
{{Gripe}}Alderney City has no darn train stations, I thought that New Jersey was full of sub-ways.
{{Gripe}}Returning characters are completely absent, such as [[Claude Speed]], [[El Burro]], [[8-Ball]] or even [[Toni Cipriani]]. There is little explanation why [[Rockstar Games]] did not return older characters from the past GTA eras.
:{{Rebut}}There is an [[Secrets and Easter Eggs in GTA IV|Easter Egg]] that shows the previous protagonists along with "R.I.P."
::{{Gripe}}Where is the location to this easter egg?
:::{{Rebut}}Check the link above
{{Gripe}}Pedestrian conversations are repetitive and are no where near as funny as they used to be.
:{{Rebut}}Isn't the game supposed to be more serious? I mean come on, the games based in poor, old, drug and crime filled New York. Nothing funny about that. But i do agree they aren't as funny as prior games but I understand why Rockstar did that.
{{Gripe}}Some of the characters are downright painful and tedious. i.e. Brucie, Dwayne etc.
{{Gripe}}The humor is weak throughout the game.
:{{Rebut}}That is a personal opinion. I, for one, found many conversations hilarious.

Cuddyer, CarGo To Miss Time
DENVER (AP) – The Colorado Rockies have been decimated by injuries in the last month, losing third baseman Nolan Arenado, left fielder Carlos Gonzalez and, now, outfielder/first baseman Michael Cuddyer.
Cuddyer was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Monday with a shoulder fracture. He was injured diving for a ground ball at third base last Thursday against Arizona.
"It was pretty painful the past few days," Cuddyer said. "Finishing that game (Thursday) was extremely painful and now we know why."
Cuddyer said doctors told him the injury could take six weeks or more to heal.
Gonzalez had a small tumor removed from his left index finger Tuesday during a procedure at the Cleveland Clinic.
Dr. Thomas Graham performed the surgery and a growth was found beneath the sheath around the muscle.
Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Dugger said these type of tumors are common and the expectation is a biopsy will determine the tumor is benign.
"These little benign tumors, which we hope it is, is probably the second most common finding in the finger besides cysts," Dugger said. "Usually repetitive trauma causes it.
"They call them cell tumors. Pretty common within the sheath of these fingers. Usually benign. Occasionally you can come up with something."
Gonzalez had his left arm in a sling after the surgery. He is expected to return to Denver on Wednesday.
"It helps explain some of the things that CarGo's been dealing with and why that finger kept blowing up on him," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "It helps answer some of the questions we had about him."
Gonzalez has been experiencing soreness and swelling in the finger for a while. He was examined by Graham on May 29 in Cleveland. He continued to play but was placed on the 15-day disabled list June 4 and is expected to miss a few weeks.
"Typically, it's a couple weeks for the tissue to heal," Dugger said. "Then he'll get back his strength and start swinging. It was a little bit more invasive, meaning they took out a larger piece than they thought -- what the MRI revealed."
Gonzalez has dealt with finger issues in the past. Last season he played in just 19 games after the All-Star break due to a sprained middle finger on his right hand.
That injury did not require surgery.
Colorado has been hit hard with injuries in the past month. Third baseman Nolan Arenado (broken left finger) is expected to miss another month, and outfielder Michael Cuddyer is out for at least six weeks with a fractured left shoulder suffered Thursday.
The rotation has been decimated as well. Jordan Lyles (broken hand), Tyler Chatwood (right elbow strain), Brett Anderson (fractured left index finger) and rookie Eddie Butler (right rotator cuff inflammation) are on the disabled list.
Left-hander Tyler Matzek, the team's first-round pick in 2009, will be the third Rockies pitcher in a week to make his major league debut when he starts Wednesday's game.
"It's something as a professional team we've got to push through, push forward," Cuddyer said.

'Hoppers' Smith fans 11 in one-hitter
Greensboro lefty hurls seven shutout innings against Hickory
By Jonathan Raymond / MiLB.com | August 28, 2013 7:29 PM ET
The way Chipper Smith sees it, every remaining start doubles as a tryout for a spot in the Marlins system the next season.
Coming out of the Draft in the 38th round -- as Smith did in 2012 -- can make it difficult to get noticed. But striking out a career-high 11 over seven one-hit frames in Class A Greensboro's 3-0 shutout of Hickory might help ensure his future.
Smith turned in the stellar effort six days after he scattered three hits and a walk while striking out nine over six scoreless innings against Delmarva.
"I'd have to say everything was coming in for strikes. I worked off my fastball and changeup, set them up pretty well with everything," he said. "That was only my fifth or sixth start of the year too. I started in extended [spring training] and was in the 'pen up until about a month-and-a-half ago."
The left-hander, who was drafted out of Cumberland University in Tennessee, has only made six starts this year. But Smith said he's hit a rhythm in the role he once filled in college.
He hasn't allowed a run over his last 21 1/3 innings dating back to the first frame of his Aug. 11 start against Augusta.
"I like starting because I can get my mind right, get focused. I know when I'm going to pitch, I can get into a routine -- know when to do long-toss, know when to do bullpen. Mentally, I'm just prepared," he said.
In Smith's debut last year, he logged just 26 innings between the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Marlins and short-season Jamestown, notching a 3.46 ERA with 19 strikeouts and eight walks.
Then he headed to extended this season before finally arriving at Greensboro, where he logged a 3.30 ERA in 62 2/3 innings of relief. He's shown much more as a starter, however, with a 1.38 ERA in 26 frames since making his first start Aug. 4.
Whatever curiosity the Marlins may have had about their late-round pick has to have been even further piqued by the resume he's built this year. Smith now sports an 8-3 record, a 2.74 ERA, 98 strikeouts and 33 walks in 88 2/3 frames.
"I think I've opened up some eyes this year. I was a late-round pick, so there wasn't a lot of money invested in me," he said, "Doing as well as I have, I don't think anyone expected me to do that, but it's worked out and been a good year.
"I'm pretty happy with how this year's gone. I knew coming in, I'd have to have a good year to have a spot next year. Every time I go out there is me trying to get a job for next year. I have one start left this year so I'm just going to stay focused, finish strong and get to work in the offseason ... hopefully keep doing what I'm doing."
Offensively for the Grasshoppers, Matt Jengel went 3-for-4 and fell a triple short of a cycle and Viosergy Rosa added an RBI.
Reliever Dane Stone struck out one and walked one in the eighth and Ronald Barnes struck out the side in the niunth to preserve the one-hitter.

looking for advice
Hello, I have a Golden Eagle Ultra Evolution. It has a 30" draw and set at 66lbs. I just put a Golden Key Containment arrow rest and a Allen Equalizer 4 pin Fiber Optic site. I'm going to be using a peep site and plan on using a release. I am asking for advice on exactly what size arrows to use in this. I want to use it for target as well as deer hunting itself. Also want to find a good release. I would like to hear any recommendations. Thank you. and if you have advice on a different rest or site, I would like to hear that too.

I recently switched from alum arrows to Gold tip hunter xt 7595 ( + - .003) All i know is the new arrows shoot soooo much better i'll never switch back to alum. or brands. My friend and i were shooting at his range when he missed the target and shoot right through the sheet metal wall and the arrow came out fine.As for a release try try try. try as many as possible it is different for each person. I like wrist strap releases and finally settled on a Tru fire judge. it is very adjustable and comforable. If you want more of a target release i recomend the Tru Ball chappy boss it is very smooth and super adjustable. Hope some of this helps. Also i'll add that i use a trophy ridge drop away rest and between the new arrows and this rest my groups shrank by 2-4 inchs. Very good rest and very quiet

hello, I shoot both carbon and aluminum arrows, and they both shoot great, the main thing to keep in mind is to match you arrow spline to the length of the arrow and the draw weight of your bow, proper tunned arrows will give good results weather they are carbon or aluminum. I personaly prefure the acc easton shafts for hunting, they are tough, very streight, but also at a cost. they will also hold a bend so if you bounce one off a tree or something look it over, as with solid carbons, always look them over if it impacts something hard, bounces off something or gets hit good with anouther arrow, they will get small cracks in them, get dings stuff like that, its alot harder to find this kind of damage on a carbon then a aluminum arrow. I soon will be shooting all carbons, for 3d, hunting and spots, but not do to the fact that carbons shoot better then aluminum. hope this helps!!! Happy shooting either way!!!!!!!

Review University of San Francisco
My overall experience from the application process to starting my second semester has been amazing. When I reached out for information and answers to my questions throughout the application process, I was met with caring and extremely helpful staff. They truly wanted to help and guide me through the process, something I had never experienced before with other schools. I am extremely grateful for not only the school administration, but also for my amazing academic advisor/professor Dru Bhattacharya! From the minute I was accepted into the MPH program, he helped me get a scholarship for my first semester of school, and checked up on my progress often. Overall, I am extremely happy with my experience at USF!
University of San Francisco is absolutely phenomenal! From the Professors to the students to even the maintenance staff, they all are so respectful, intellectual, and caring, which makes USF seem like home away from home. The only hard thing is paying for this amazing school. Even though it is very expensive, I will my best to try to pay for it because it is worth it.
As a nursing major, this university has state of the art equipment, well-seasoned professors, tutoring, lectures from well-known speakers, & various job/social opportunities. The small campus is diverse, with international students & staff. The greek & sports scenes are not notable. The school, one of the few Jesuit universities in the country, is geographically located in the middle of San Francisco, so nothing is ever more than a 30 minute drive (50 minute bus ride) away. While the science, business, & social justice related majors are strong, most other majors offer good, but not notable, programs.
The dorms are quite small & require students to leave during winter break. The food is good for a university, but extremely overpriced if without a meal plan, & disappointing compared to the foodie culture of the city.There are 24/7 campus police & a shuttle available for a 2.5 mile radius of the school, but students should be warned to always be aware of their surroundings off campus.

The Smart Grid Primer: Standards Development
This is the last article in The Smart Grid Primer ePaper series. For more on the smart grid, attend NTCA's webcast on Wednesday, September 8, 2010.
Crucial to the smart grid ecosystem is the development of an open architecture defined by clear, accepted standards for interconnection, interoperability, performance and monitoring. These standards will provide a necessary foundation for an intelligent network and the many devices which will interface with the grid.
The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) is intimately involved with the standards development process. "We need uniform ways of communicating for the smart grid network to be successful," said Bob Saint, principal engineer at NRECA. "Electric cooperatives don't have the staff or resources to customize solutions. We need a device that is plug-and-play, or as near plug-and-play as possible for a variety of network architectures."
The U.S. Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST), which started working on smart grid standards in 2007 when it was tasked to do so by the Energy Independence & Security Act, is spearheading national standards efforts. To carry out its mission, NIST received $15 million through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Read more
The Smart Grid Primer: Building the Smart Grid Broadband Network
To operate a smart grid, rural utility providers will need last-mile broadband infrastructure connecting smart meters with remote locations and central offices. As utilities evolve and interconnect their networks, they will also need large-scale connectivity between their aggregation points.
Utilities looking to develop a smart grid have several options. They can build their own last-mile and core broadband network, partner with an existing network operator to provide the infrastructure or meet somewhere in the middle, deploying last-mile connectivity while working with a backhaul aggregator. The decision is based upon a variety of factors including the utility's unique needs and the local regulatory environment as defined by each state public utility commission. Read more
The Smart Grid Primer: The Evolving Architecture of a Rural Electric Provider
Traditionally, the nation's electric system is built on a centralized architecture, where power is generated by high-voltage units.
The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) represents 900 member cooperatives, which serve 42 million people in 47 states. Only a handful of the NRECA's members own and operate generation units. The majority of rural electric providers, approximately 95%, manage substations and the infrastructure which distributes electricity directly to end users. This is analogous to rural telcos which distribute connectivity directly to their customers, and then connect upstream with the IP backbone or long-distance network.
The central office or substation of the electric provider is connected to remote locations, analogous to telco remote terminals or hubs. These remote locations are connected via powerline to utility meters on the side of the consumer's home or business.
NRECA Principal Engineer Bob Saint noted that this conventional architecture is changing as utility providers install intelligent technology to interconnect their operations. "The smart grid will provide the ability to obtain data about the system, automate processes and operate more efficiently," Saint said. "Rural electrics have implemented a smart grid network when it has made business sense, and where it has been cost-effective."
The smart grid will not be implemented all at once but rather as an evolutionary process. Read more
The Smart Grid Primer: What is the Smart Grid
NTCA presents this series of articles on the smart grid. Over the course of the next few weeks, the series will explore the nature and components of a smart grid system; the benefits and drivers of an intelligent grid; the evolving architecture of a rural electric provider who implements a smart grid; the telecommunications requirements for developing a smart grid broadband network; and the development of standards for a viable network architecture.
NTCA has been working with key rural organizations, including the National Information Solutions Cooperative (NISC), the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), and the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative (NRTC), who, like NTCA, seek to inform rural cooperatives and commercial companies about the smart grid and its technical needs.
An intelligent electrical grid, commonly known as the smart grid, unites broadband and IP networking with the existing electrical grid. The smart grid was first introduced more than 10 years ago but, thanks to recent federal interest and investment, the concept has now moved from pilot projects to full-scale deployments.
Congress allocated $4.5 billion in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) for smart grid activities. Of this, $3.5 billion is set aside for a Smart Grid Investment Grant Program administered by the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE). As of June 2010, more than 100 projects in 49 states have received smart grid investment grants. Additionally, Congress set aside $620 million in ARRA funding for Smart Grid Demonstration and Energy Storage Projects. The DoE is coordinating these 32 projects. Finally, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (RUS) Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP) has awarded grants for broadband infrastructure which may support smart grid activities.

Of all the Victoria's Secret Angels, Doutzen Kroes is the one whom I would most like to trade lives with (Doutzen, if you're interested, call me). The Dutch model, who also has aspirations of launching a film career, is the pride and joy of her native province, one of the world's top-earning supermodels, miraculously adored by both lingerie purveyors and the fashion set (which, you'll note, is not the case for most), and has a stunning family that consists of unbelievably good-looking DJ Sunnery James and their son Phyllon, one of the most beautiful children I have ever seen.
So yeah, from what I can tell, Doutzen has things pretty good. There's also the case of her insane body, which is consistently altered and airbrushed in VS publications … but now we can see for the first time how she actually appears in real life on the set of a VS shoot, thanks to these unretouched photos. You can see how muscular Doutzen is, meaning there's a good chance she eats food and works out like a maniac. Crazy! [Yeeeah]
