Upon completion of this course, you will have an understanding of the contents and the limitations of general purpose financial statements prepared by service organizations and merchandising organizations for sole proprietorships. You will gain this understanding by learning the process used to record basic business transactions and other transactions specifically related to cash, receivables, plant assets, liabilities, and owner's equity.
Students will be able to apply their knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles to record economic events and prepare three financial statements for a sole proprietorship organization engaged in service or merchandising operations. Students will also be able to apply their knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles to interpret the contents of these three financial statements. In addition, students will be able to identify how accounting information is used in the decision-making process.
The text is an on-line text that whose access must be purchased at www.wileyplus.com. All homework problems related to the material in the text can be found at this website after access is purchased. After you click on wileyplus.com, click on "Students--Register for New Class" and purchase your registration code along the way. You will have to find your school from the drop down menu (West Valley)and click on it. Now click on Accounting 10/11 and click on this course. Here you will find the text under "Read, Study, and Practice" and the homework assignments are under "Assignments". It is pretty self-explanatory from there. If you are not comfortable using an on-line text and prefer paper you have 3 options. The first is to print the material in the text that appears on -line or you can purchase the hardcopy version of the text which is Accounting Principles by Weygandt, Kimmel and Kieso, 10th edition. The shrink-wrapped version of the text available in the West Vally bookstore contains the registration code you will need to do the homework which must be done on-line. If you are not comfortable doing homework on-line, you may purchase a copy of the text that does not have the registration code shrink-wrapped inside. If you do this, you will not be able to do the homework on-line, you will have to do the homework by hand on paper, and you will not have access to the other resources contained in Wiley.
In addition, you will need to purchase access to the practice set that we will use later in the course. More information will be provided in Angel.
Accounting is best learned by the solving of accounting problems, in this case, on-line. There will be a significant amount of homework each week. If you cannot make the commitment to do the homework, you should consider dropping the course and taking it when you can. Completion of the homework by the due date is absolutely necessary for success in this course. If you don't complete the homework on your own, YOU WILL NOT PASS THIS COURSE. Each assigned homework problem will be reviewed in class.
If you are doing homework on Wiley, at the WileyPLUS website, click on "Assignments". A listing of the assignments (exercises and problems only) for each chapter from the text will be displayed. There are also questions assigned that appear in the back of each chapter that must be answered. The assigned questions are noted on the last page of this sylalbus. The exercises and problems that are listed on this page next to the assigned questions are there for reference only and are the exercises and problems that are in Wiley.
I will select 2 homework problems from each chapter just before we go over the assigned homework in class. If you can show me your "good faith" attempt at solving these problems (either in class with hard copy or on WileyPlus) you will earn between 1 and 5 points per problem depending on the completeness of your solution.
A total of 11 exams (including the final exam) will be given during the semester. Note the date of the exams in your Course Agenda. PLAN TO BE IN CLASS ON THOSE DATES. NO MAKE-UP EXAMS WILL BE PERMITTED. In the event you have to miss class the day of an exam, you must arrange to take the exam on an alternate date, no later than the class session following the date of the class missed. Anyone who misses an exam without giving me prior notice, WILL RECEIVE ZERO POINTS FOR THAT EXAM. The final exam is NOT COMPREHENSIVE and is scheduled for Tuesday, 5/21/13, from 7:30-9:30AM.
The final is a comprehensive, departmental final given to all Accounting 10 students at West Valley. More instructions will be forthcoming as we get toward the end of the semester.
Recent surveys have shown that a large percentage of students say that they have cheated and that they basically consider it to be an okay activity (although, ironically, these students think the biggest problem in our society is ethics and that they consider themselves to be ethical people). WRONG! Cheating is absolutely unacceptable under any circumstances! For class work, I encourage you to HELP each other, but you are ultimately responsible for completing your own assignments. During exams you are expected to:
(1) wear NO hats of ANY kind
(2) have NO notes of ANY kind. The only papers that should be on your desk during an exam are the ones that I have distributed
(3) NOT talk to others during the exam
(4) keep your eyes on your OWN paper
(5) keep your OWN paper AWAY from the prying eyes of others!
On exam days, ALL backpacks are to be placed at the front of the classroom. Any student who violates any of these rules will receive an "F" grade for the class and will be reported to the Dean of Student Services.
Your grade will consist of the following:
Mid-term exams, 10 @ 50 |
500 points |
Homework, 10 x 10 |
100 points |
Practice set |
100 points |
Final exam |
150 points |
Total |
850 points |
90% earns an A
80% a B
70% a C
60% a D
I will be most pleased to review your cumulative point totals with you any time you wish.

January 26 2007, 5:02 PM
I've written about the efforts to clarify Amendment 41 before, but the newest update to the saga is worth a mention. I'll let the preventing scholarship winners from accepting their awards if their parent(s) are state employees.
There are also politics involved here (as there always are), some of which I explained in a previous post. Polis and Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald are the two frontrunners to replace Rep. Mark Udall when the latter runs for the U.S. Senate. Polis' bid for congress will be severely damaged if Amendment 41 is not "clarified," because then he'll have to run for office as the guy whose amendment took scholarships away from kids. That's not good, and Fitz-Gerald knows it, which is a big reason why she has no desire to see Amendment 41 altered in any way.
Republicans are also coming out in favor of keeping Amendment 41 the way it is for political reasons; they hope that Democrats will alter the amendment, and then they can go back to voters in two years and say, Democrats changed the meaning of an ethics amendment that YOU voted to support.
If Amendment 41 prevents certain kids from accepting scholarships, obviously that is a bad outcome that was not intended by the people who wrote the language of the measure – and it surely wasn't what voters thought they were voting for. But at the same time, in some ways you get what you pay for here, and I really have a problem with the statement from the creators of Amendment 41 that goes something like this: "Obviously, this isn't what we intended."
But you wrote the amendment.
Saying "This isn't what we intended" is like calling your spouse a bad name and saying, "I didn't mean to hurt you." You can't press rewind and re-word your insult because it didn't turn out well.
Back when the language for the amendment was being drafted, critics warned that Amendment 41 was too vague and could create unintended problems. Those concerns fell on deaf ears at the time, which is a shame because all of this could have been avoided with a little more attention to detail. When the amendment was being drafted, all they had to do was to write the language so that it was more specific. But they didn't, and now they're scrambling to fix it.
Now, rather than discussing the merits of lobbying reforms and the fear of preventing scholarships from being awarded to students, the talks over Amendment 41 have become symbolic. Can you change the meaning of something that the voters approved? If you can, and if you should, then who gets to decide what the true meaning is supposed to be?
Right now, it looks like lobbyists get to have that discussion.
They just can't do it over dinner.

Dunno, I'm really not a fan of the HE-500s. Only like the old(er) models like the 4/5-LE/6. The 500s (and the 400 to an extent) are extremely lush and slow. Like listening to molasses but not proper, tactile and textured molasses like the LCDs.
No bias though :P maybe a little bit

He fetched an inkhorn set into a tripod, a sandarach, and a roll of clean parchment that was tied around with a green ribbon.
There was an inkhorn and paper at a little table and he wrote a line and signed it.
Our wit is printed, not spoken; our best wits behind an inkhorn have sometimes been the veriest logs in society.
In his hand was his weapon, a pen; his skull was an inkhorn, and his cap its lid.
And when he heard her reply, he said to 'Azeez, Give me an inkhorn and paper, and a pen of brass.
He recalled this now, as he took his inkhorn from the dusty table.
They were large brown nuts or seeds, and hanging from his girdle with his pen and inkhorn they clashed when he walked.
So she said, Bring me an inkhorn and paper, and a pen of brass.
A shabby escrivano from the prison advanced bowing, with an inkhorn, shaking a wet goose-quill.
A slave then brought in a writing-table, a scroll of parchment, and an inkhorn.
The Hebrew word so rendered means simply a round vessel or cup for containing ink, which was generally worn by writers in the girdle (Ezek. 9:2, 3,11). The word "inkhorn" was used by the translators, because in former times in this country horns were used for containing ink.

I have two disks in my computer, one of them my main (IDE) drive & a new one (S-ATA). Basically, I want to make the entire sata drive the new primary hard drive, but have it completely under control of the volume manager (except for boot, which I understand has to be on a physical partition). The original (IDE) disk had root and swap as separate, physical partitions. Here's what I've tried: 1. Partition the disk with a 32 meg sda1 and the whole rest of the disk (1 TB total) as sda2. 2. Copy everything from the IDE /boot directory to the sata sda1 (mounted as /target). 3. Set up lvm on the rest of the disk, with logical volumes for root, swap, home, usr, and var. 4. Copy everything from the IDE to the appropriate sata lv's. This is done and everything mounts fine. 5. Mount the sata drive's root lv on /target, the sata boot sda1 on /target/boot, and the other lv's appropriately. 6. Do a chroot to target. 7. Run grub, with the following input: grub>find /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0,0) grub>root (hd0,0) grub>setup (hd0) grub>quit This seems to have run with no problem. What happens is that when I boot, it just hangs, with no output, evidently not even getting to grub. I *think* I may know what's wrong, but am open to any other suggestions. What I *think* is that none of the above really wrote the MBR (I thought grub would do it, but evidently not). When I check the limits of the partitions, it appears that sda1 starts on cylinder #1, but the 63rd sector, so as far as I know (unless grub was supposed to do it), the MBR hasn't been written. Can someone either a) confirm that this is correct, and/or b) tell me how to get the MBR correctly written (preferably the "and" condition;-). TIA anw
Ha! For anyone out there listening, I solved one problem, and got a GRUB boot menu from my sata disk. I used the interactive grub listed in my first post, using hd1 instead of hd0 (I have this in the device.map file, and didn't know what I was doing earlier). Now, I get the grub menu, but when it goes to boot, I get a "Error 15: file not found", regardless of which menu item I choose. Here they are, from the /boot/grub/menu.lst file: The first one is the one I want to boot. I am going to try changing the "root (hd0,0)" to "root (hd1,0)" and see if that works, but the second line should be my old hard drive, and I get the same message there, which I don't understand. Also, maybe I should use either (or both) of the: lines in the menu.lst, but they also have the mysterious comment about "## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs", which I don't understand. Are they comments or not?
Hey, falko! Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've done those things. I had to go into the device.map and menu.lst to set the hd0 and hd1 to sda and hda, respectively, because I found out the one I boot from is set as hd0, regardless of whether it's the ide or sata drive. I'm now am at the point where I get the boot menu from grub but it looks like when it tries to load the kernel it can't find the right disk driver. On the other hand, how could it get to the grub menu and start booting linux if that were the case? What happens is I get a bunch of messages scrolling by, it actually goes into the framebuffer "smaller character" mode, then I get this message: but it can't seem to see the sata drive.
On second thought, it looks more like it couldn't fird whatever lvm driver it needed. Here's a more complete list of the boot messages, appearing right after something about the keyboard: So, I'm thinking right there where it says "No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 cramfs", if it had tried the lvm driver it would have succeeded. Any idea how to make it do that?
Can you update your ramdisk... Code: update-initramfs -u and then use Code: initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26 for both kernel stanzas in /boot/grub/menu.lst?
Thanks. I'll try that within the next day. By both stanzas, you mean both of the menu.lst kernel boot items that reference lvm2? was the version created by createlvm2_initrd script. After fixing all my file issues, my menu.lst now looks like this: Code: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26 Using LVM with SATA Disk root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26 root=/dev/ram0 lvm2root=/dev/mapper/sda_vol-root initrd /initrd-lvm2-2.6.26.gz savedefault title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26 Using LVM with SATA Disk (recovery) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26 root=/dev/ram0 lvm2root=/dev/mapper/sda_vol-root ro single initrd /initrd-lvm2-2.6.26.gz savedefault Thanks!
I still haven't gotten this to work. I'm at the place above, where the system boots to saying something about my keyboard, then lists "all partitions", NOT to include the lvm filesystems. I've fooled with this for the past week, and found a bug in lvm2create_initrd in the way it parsed out the required libraries, fixed it, then found out it was known, so got a later version where it was fixed "officially". That version ran out of space on the ram disk creating links to busybox, so I upped the added space from 512 to 1024, and it ran; however, it still bombs as above when I boot. The lvm2rescue doesn't work, either, bombing in exactly the same way. Does anyone know how to tell the boot ramdisk file system that it's got lvm volumes? Also, supposedly, you can put an "linuxrc" file out on the initrd system. How do you do this? I thought I'd like to execute a shell during the boot process to see what is installed in the initrd (actually, I thought that's what lvm2rescue was supposed to do), but would like to try that from linuxrc.

RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BDSI) announced that it has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and, in connection therewith, is providing a review of BDSI's recent achievements and an update on business operations and upcoming milestones for 2013.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110217/CL49801LOGO )
Business Highlights
As recently announced, a significant milestone was achieved by BDSI with the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for BUNAVAIL (buprenorphine naloxone buccal film) for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence. Under the 505(b)(2) regulatory statute, the NDA for BUNAVAIL, which was submitted on July 31, 2013, will be subject to a ten month review. If approved, BUNAVAIL will be the first buccal film dosage form containing buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid dependence that will compete with the market leader Suboxone, which achieved sales in excess of $1.5 billion in 2012 according to data from Wolters Kluwer.
BDSI also remains on track to report data, expected in early 2014, from two pivotal Phase 3 studies of BEMA Buprenorphine for the treatment of chronic pain, a product with peak U.S. sales potential of $500 million. These trials, one in opioid naive and the other in opioid experienced patients, are being conducted along with BDSI's partner, Endo Health Solutions. Both trials are expected to complete in late 2013 or early 2014, and with database lock for each trial, BDSI expects milestone payments from Endo which, along with a milestone payment for NDA filing, total an aggregate of $30 million to BDSI.
In addition to the advancement of BDSI's two BEMA products containing buprenorphine, BDSI strengthened its pain portfolio by entering into a worldwide license agreement with Arcion Therapeutics (Arcion) under which BDSI will develop and commercialize Clonidine Topical Gel (formerly ARC4558) for the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) and potentially other indications. Nearly 26 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association, and a substantial number of these people have neuropathy as manifest by impaired sensation and pain in the extremities, most commonly the feet. Currently available oral treatments have been shown to be modestly effective in relieving symptoms and are limited by systemic side effects and drug interactions. There are no topical products approved for the treatment of this painful condition. BDSI estimates annual peak U.S. sales potential for this product to be in excess of $300 million and plans to initiate a Phase 2b clinical trial program for Clonidine Topical Gel for the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy by the end of this year.
In addition, BDSI announced that Adrian Hepner, MD, PhD, joined the company as Vice President of Clinical Research and Regulatory Affairs, and will initially concentrate his efforts on the clinical development of Clonidine Topical Gel for the treatment of PDN.
During the second quarter of 2013, BDSI further added to its Board of Directors with the appointment of Thomas W. D'Alonzo. Mr. D'Alonzo has held a number of high-level executive positions and board appointments at large and specialty pharmaceutical companies, including being current Chairman of Salix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLXP) and previously served on BDSI's Board of Directors from August 2006 through June 2008.
Financial Highlights
At June 30, 2013, BDSI had $37.4 million in cash (not including proceeds received in early July 2013, from a $20.0 million senior secured loan from an affiliate of MidCap Financial), as compared to $63.2 million at December 31, 2012 and $43.0 million at June 30, 2012.
Cash used in operations for the first six months of 2013 totaled $25.8 million, driven largely by the expense associated with the aforementioned Phase 3 pivotal trials and completion of work on BUNAVAIL.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, BDSI received $45.0 million in milestone payments in connection with the Endo license, of which $30.7 million was recognized as revenue. Cash flow contributed to operations in the prior year's first six months was $33 million.
Research and development costs were $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to a corresponding $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2012. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, research and development costs totaled $24.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses in 2013 compared to 2012 can be attributed to the two pivotal pain trials and one safety trial underway pursuant to BDSI's collaboration with Endo for the BEMA Buprenorphine chronic pain program. Also contributing to the first half 2013 increase was the near completion of the BUNAVAIL program for the treatment of opioid dependence and compilation of its NDA as well as $2.1 million of in-process research and development (paid in common stock) associated with the aforementioned license agreement with Arcion. The two Phase 3 pivotal trials for BEMA Buprenorphine for chronic pain are scheduled to complete later this year or early 2014, as will final development work associated with the completion of the BUNAVAIL NDA. As such, R&D spending is expected to be significantly reduced starting in the fourth quarter of 2013 as these two programs wind down.
Including the recently closed MidCap loan and the addition of the anticipated Endo database lock milestones, BDSI believes that it has sufficient resources to fund intended operations through the end of 2014.
"Tremendous progress has been made in the first half of 2013 as we continue to build value in BDSI by both advancing our "home grown" products while strengthening and diversifying the pipeline through targeted in-licensing opportunities," said Dr. Mark A. Sirgo, President and Chief Executive Officer. "BDSI has made significant strides with the submission of an NDA for our second BEMA product, BUNAVAIL, for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence. And, we simultaneously moved toward completion of the Phase 3 clinical studies for BEMA Buprenorphine for chronic pain, while expanding and diversifying the product pipeline with the acquisition of Clonidine Topical Gel."
Anticipated 2013 Milestones
BDSI is focusing its resources on achievement of the following key milestones and activities:

Face Time with Forest Bailey fun times taking the urban snowboarder into deep powder – ESPN
Forest Bailey may be on the come-up on the "urban snowboarding" scene and jib-jam contest circuit, but don't pigeon-hole him with the "rail rider" label just yet. Bailey was out at Mt. Baker with his fellow 686 young guns last week getting sent by Patrick McCarthy off of all the classic Baker booter…

Now in it's 10th year, Robot Academy is Columbus' ORIGINAL and longest-running Lego Robotics Camp. The academy hosts a variety of technology camps in seven locations near Columbus (Dublin, Gahanna, Westerville, Grove City and Marysville). At these action-packed summer tech camps, kids age 5-16 design, build, and program working Lego robots (using Lego Mindstorms EV3) and invent contraptions using 3D Modeling/Printing. Licensed teachers and world-champion Lego Robotics instructors guide kids through engaging and fun STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) activities. All teachers have passed background checks.
What's unique about our Summer Tech Camps? First of all, we're the only camp that combines Inventing and 3D Printing with Lego Robotics. Lego robotics has become very popular in recent years, and imitation Lego Robot Camps have sprung up across the country. Our camp is the longest-running Lego Robot Camp in Columbus, and it's the only camp that's taught by actual world champion robot-builders and technology teachers. We also have the best student:teacher ratio in the industry, and because of this one-on-one interaction between students and instructors we're able to customize camp activities to the skill level of individual students. Finally, our camp is designed to build confidence. Every student is awarded a trophy and/or medal that recognizes specific accomplishments (no participation awards). Our students frequently leave camp saying "this was the best day of my life!" and "I want to be an engineer!"

It's been busy. It's hard to complain when customers support your work. That said, we've got customers who are or will be complaining if we don't get moving and we're pretty dog tired. My focus is on getting back orders caught up right now... hopefully over the next five days, we'll make up about 10-12 calendar days and based on our order sheet, that's do-able. Then things will slowly return to normal.
We're also trying to find time to work in two new projects, one of which you already know about, Lee (suspension). I won't elaborate or comment further on either because work remains yet to be done and until our customers have products in hand, we really don't need to go there.
So, though this is a little off topic, thanks to all of you for your support and patience. We know we're behind and we're going to surge over the next few days and get some products in your hands.
-- Brian and Shane

I love video games, I think we all do; however, I find myself wanting to throw myself against a cheese grater every time I see a video game/console commercial on TV lately. Yip, I am referring to the latest commercial for the PlayStation 4's interface. Let's face it, the acting is beyond cheesy, the whole idea behind the advert is cheesy… well everything except the interface, but that's beside the point. Can we not be subjected to marketing that is a little more; how can I say, gamer focused?
Granted, the advert may seem pretty awesome to some, but does it really get your fingers twitching for the launch of the PlayStation 4? You see, it is adverts like these that make me worry about what Microsoft may produce when it comes to an Xbox One advert… all I can say is, "Make the cheesy video game ads go away!"
Truth be told, there have been some rather epic adverts aired in the past; however, there are only a handful of them out there. The Replacers is a great example of how these ads should be done… whereas the numerous amounts of Kinect ads are a perfect example of how not to do them.
While the "Greatness Awaits" trailer is semi-cheesy… it is actually rather epic and more gamer focused than the actual UI trailer.
Here is a perfect example of how a Kinect advert should be done.
The Last of Us actually has a rather epic live action TV advert, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It is far more gamer focused, and excludes all the fake smiles and rubbish that we see so often.
In my opinion, there are not enough great ads either featured on TV, or YouTube, depending on where you decide to check them out. We are generally subjected to adverts like the one below, which to be honest makes me want to throw myself at that cheese grater once again.
Truth be told, the Blackwater debut trailer was fantastic; however, the game was just terrible in every aspect.
Maybe it is just me being a little too critical, but I do believe that there are just way too many rubbish adverts out there at the moment.
Agree with me, great! Seen some really cheesy ads lately? Let us know about them in the comments section below.

Great hotel with superior service and the room was excellent with oversize tub and shower. Very comfortable bed.
Our room was beautiful, especially the restroom. The restuarants were outstanding. The only regret we have was we ran out of time to be able to utilize the spa.
We were there opening week so everything was brand new! It is not your typical Four Seasons--very trendy and seemed to cater to a very young clientele but we enjoyed our stay. The room was beautiful and the restaurant was great. Delicious dinner and terrific breakfast.
Very inviting, spacious rooms - loved the illuminated bathroom sinks! Particularly modern decor and great access to the dining/shopping areas of LoDo
Four Seasons Denver is elegant, upscale, and has a marvelous bar and Edge Restaurant. The SPA is wonderful. A few service flaws to work out.
My wife and I spent a weekend in Denver in late January. The room was beautiful and quiet. The shower was great with the rainfall shower and the regular shower head. We used the work out facility and the spa. The machines all had a touchscreen that allowed you to watch tv, control your idod, or play games while you worked out. It was the best workout touchscreen interface that I have seen. The spa has a hot tub, steam facility, relaxation room and the showers have three different water spray options: Regular shower head, side show heads. and rainfall shower heads. You can use all three simultaneously: It's great. The hotel staff used the house car to bring us to a restaurant that was a little too far to walk. They picked us up afterward. Many hotels have nice rooms. I have found that Four Seasons also have the best service around. The only negative of the visit is the road construction in front of the hotel. We ended up parking at the garage across the street because we didn't see...
We loved this hotel. The location is perfect and the service is exceptional - just what you would expect from a Four Seasons. I would absolutely return and can't imagine a better experience.
It was quiet, dark and warm, though quite expensive.
I stayed here with some friends prior to a conference. Everything about the Four Seasons was exceptional, so the staff definitely lives up to the Four Seasons standards. Great location - close to fantastic bars, restaurants and shopping.
The hotel is nice, staff courteous and helpful, and the atmosphere was excellent. I chose this hotel based on proximity to my morning meeting, but would return for the comfort and service.
The hotel didn't get my reservation from Booking.com. The staff was very nice though and honored the rate that I said I had booked and gave me a room. The room service menu is very so-so.
NIce hotel in a good location Lobby and bar area are lacking. Room bathrooms need updates.
Lobby and the rooms were really nice. The only problem was the beds were so amazing you didnt want to get out of them.
Great decor and bedding. The location is excellent for Downtown Denver. We were on the first floor, and although the room was excellent, it felt a little like a cave as their was one small window and it looked out at the parking area.
Great atmosphere in the lobby. Comfortable bed. Average small hotel room. I got stuck in the elevator. There was a smoker on my floor and the air circulated through my room.
Quickest check in ever!! Very impressed with room.....clean and trendy.
Really cool renovated hotel Staff was not friendly. Our room was not clean. Staff had no knowledge of the area. If this hotel had a better staff as far as professionals and it was clean it would have been amazing. But the staff where rude and dirty and no where near professional.
The Hotel is a Historic bank building. The lobby is decorated beautifully with murals throughout. The lobby consists of a cozy bar a restaurant and a coffee shop. Very elegant. I realize it is downtown but to valet park was $42/night which is more than I have ever had to pay to park anywhere downtown Denver in the many years we have been there.
unique character in an old bank building. very nice, spacious rooms.
The remodel done a couple of years ago is gorgeous. The staff was knowledgeable and took the time to share with us the history of the building previously being a bank. SO cool!
Valet attentiveness. No amenities for a family. No pool. No coffee in the lobby. $37 a day for valet when nearby parking only $15 a day. Very small room. Had to call for housekeeping to clean the room at 5:00 pm. Very lacking customer service and friendliness.
Location and renovation of an old bank with character.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Localização do hotel excelente. Limpeza e funcionários ótimos. Cortesia de carro em raio de 2 milhas. Não há um isolamento de som adequado. A cada vez que chega um hóspede no corredor, escuta-se o barulho como se fosse dentro do quarto.Sem frigobar no quarto.
Excelente localização, funcionários muito simpáticos e andares e quartos temáticos muito legais! O piso do elevador precisa ser substituído.
The rooms are nice, had a kitchen, very comfy beds and awesome breakfast No swimming pool, have to use key to get to room, $27 to park car [horrible]
Great location within the city, and the room was comfortable and well-appointed. My particular room was sandwiched between the elevators and the hotel gym-- lots of thuds from banging weights. Gym should not be adjacent to guest rooms, sharing a thin wall. Also, complimentary breakfast ended super-early-- should be 10:30, not 9:30.
This was my first time staying at the property and I would stay there again. It was a comfortable stay, the room was clean and it was a good location. The only issue I ran into was a delayed check-in but I was still in just before the 4 pm check-in time and there was an error programming my card causing me to have to go back downstairs to reprogram my card when I couldn't get into my room aft the first day.
Room was HUGE, gorgeous full kitchen, gorgeous lobby, free popcorn in rooms, amazing breakfast...one of the best hotels I've stayed at and i travel once a week on business around the country. This was for leisure but my boyfriend and I were very happy. Thank you!!!
Liked having more room than just a bedroom and bathroom. Breakfast was good, and free. Windows could open. Rooftop patio was nice. Staff was helpful. Location was just a couple of blocks from 16th street mall. Restaurants within walking distance. Guess I've been spoiled by other Residence Inns. The smell was very disturbing even with windows open. Furniture was worn out and dated. Carpeting was bad. Kind of sketch area even for a downtown felt barely safe in the evening or very early morning which is a shame if you like to walk places, though it didn't stop us.
Very Clean hotel - Convenient for Downtown activities - Very good breakfast Buffet Couldn't apply my Marriott Rewards bacause I booked thru a 3rd party? Sofa bed couch was poor.
The REsidence Inn Denver City Center is in a fantastic location right near 16th st. It is perfect for a weekend / week in Denver because it has a fully functioning kitchen, which will save you LOTS of money on food if you do some grocery shopping cook in the room! It was clean and pretty spacious. Take advantage of deals on this hotel (otherwise it is too expensive in my opinion). I found a king 1 bedroom (not studio!) suite on Kayak for $103/night. Otherwise, this room is easily $150/night and up, which may not be worth it (you'll save money elsewhere). No pool
Central location to downtown area made walking easy, exploring fun. Coureteous staff, quick check-in and out, and comfortableclean rooms makes this a hotel on my 'stay again' list. Great Cobb salad in the bar too!
The beds were very comfortable the pool and spa clean. The hotel was in a good locatoin to most city center activities. I would stay again for any football or basketball games or any city center activities. I would not use this hotel if I had a car, there is no parking
We came for a hockey game and this hotel is in a great location. Room was comfy, bathroom well equipped. Breakfast was mediocre. 16th St. mall is only 2 blocks away and Denver public transportation made it convenient for everything.
Didn't spend a lot of time in the hotel. The hotel fit my needs.
We were given a very luxurious two bedroom, three bath suite with wet bar for our family of four....what a GORGEGOUS room!!! We had a wonderful time...pool and fitness center are nice, as well.
Very nice hotel with VERY comfortable beds with down pillows, comforter, and mattress pad. You won't want to leave your cocoon of down. They delivered a mini fridge to our room when we requested it. The staff were courteous and friendly. Good location, only 2 blocks from the 16th Street Mall.
This was a GREAT find for our family located VERY conviently in downtown Denver within a 2 block walk of the central part of the 16th street mall and therefore ALL of downtown. The staff was terrific, hotel was clean and our room was FANTASTIC. It was clean and comfy and had a terrific view of the mountains and court house. The pool area was nice and we had a great stay.
Enjoyed our stay very much. This hotel had everything we needed to enjoy a family getaway! The hotel was clean and the staff was very helpful and cheerful. 16th St. Mall just a couple of blocks away. Nice casual restaurants close by so we didn't eat at the Marriott restaurant. Would definitely stay again.
JUST A QUICK TRIP TO DENVER FOR BUSINESS. THE STAFF WAS VERY COURTEOUS. GAVE ME A ROOM CLOSE BUT NOT NEXT TO THE ELEVATOR (NICE FOR SECURITY). VERY, VERY COMFY BED...AND THE TOILETRIES SELECTION WAS NICE. (WHY DO I NEVER REMEMBER MY OWN SHAMPOO?)\n\nQUICK WALK TO 16TH AND ALL THE GREAT RESTAURANTS. HAD WORKING BREAKFAST IN THE HOTEL RESTAURANT. GOOD FOOD, UNOBTRUSIVE STAFF WHO KEPT THE COFFEE FILLED! FRONT DESK STAFF HELPFUL IN GETTING TRANSPORTATION OR INFO WHEN NEEDED.\n\nWOULD DEFINITELY STAY THERE AGAIN WHEN I'M BACK IN DENVER.
The staff from the time we drove up to Valet, to check in, and any questions we had were answered in a timely and professional way. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Denver and would not mind staying at the same place again, whenever I do make another trip out to Denver.
Good location, room was clean EXTREMELY thin walls. Neighbors partied all night until 4am and I could hear every word to every song they played, along with their conversations as they were yelling. Staff were very short with me and didn't seem to care about my stay.
Nice building comfortable rooms and good restaurant. Right in the heart of downtown Wish it had a pool and Suns
Close proximity to everything downtown. Mallride stop was just outside the door. Easily walk to shops, restaurants, bars, or convention center. The front foyer area smelled awful.
If you approach this like you are borrowing your Aunt Rose's apartment for a few days rather than an getting a hotel room, you may be prepared for the disappointments and get to enjoy all the benefits. There are plenty of both. First the bad. This is not a hotel room or a hotel. No one ever came to clean, replace towels, or take out the trash. I never did find an iron or ironing board. The refrigerator did not have an ice maker and when I called the owner he suggested buying a bag of ice at 7-11. The internet was down when I arrived and I was told to call customer support. The reading light in the headboard of the bed works when you twist the bulb in just enough, but then it is hot as Hades to try to turn back off. The refrigerator had left over food (and beer) in it. For the good... great location. Right downtown for about the same price as the pricier hotels. The place is bigger and nicer than any hotel room could be with a full kitchen, full dining room, leather couch in the den. HD...
This place was a great find! It was well maintained for the most part. We had some difficulty obtaining more than one key for the condo, but got by with leaving a key at the front desk with staff when we each left. We did have a small issue with the toilet not filling and flushing properly, but we just filled up the tank occasionally with a pot full of water from the bathtub. It really was worth the money to have a full kitchen, spaceous living room/dining room and private bedroom. The balcony was nice and had a beautiful view of the mountains/sunset. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it!
We stayed here last week in a one bedroom while attending a nutrition conference. We hit the jackpot with this condo!! The front desk was EXTREMELY helpful and understanding, and it's within walking distance to the Convention Center, 16th street mall, etc! The views from the balcony were amazing and there was great security. It's surrounded by restaurants that are great to eat at (looove 24 hour leelas!!). There was free wireless internet which was great since all of us brought our computers. This was a million times better than staying at a hotel because we had a lot more room. In the one bedroom (not the penthouse) there is a full kitchen with fridge, dining room, desk, sofa bed in the living room, balcony with an entrance from the living room and bedroom, a queen size bed in the bedroom, tv in both bedroom and living room, and bathroom with vanity. Everyone was really friendly and we loved to use the fitness room. The only problem we had was that it was hard to find a nearby grocery...
I was surprised by the one bedroom apartment I had and it was the same price as the higher end hotels in the area. There is a full kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, and bedroom. There is not housekeeping but I don't need it. It appears to be someone's apartment that they rent out.
Very convenient location, very clean, I'd recommend it without any hesitation !!
It's not really a hotel. It's a condo building with full time residents. There is a guy there who leases several of the units and rents them out through web. The problem is, is that the Brooks Tower staff have no idea what this guy is doing......Checking in took me more than two hours....continued to be bad for the rest of the time there.
I found this hotel last minute for the GSA Convention. It was great, a one bedroom apartment for the same price and in some cases much less expensive than other surrounding hotels. It had a beautiful view of the Front Range and was very quiet. Only 4 blocks from the convention center, 1 block from the performing arts center, and 1 block from 16th Street. Very easy to get to from downtown Denver. Keep in mind there is no breakfast place in the hotel, no concierge, and no one to carry your luggage. Everyone at the front desk are very nice and no need to worry about security.
Easily the worst experience ever..................

Small Schools' Big Tech Dreams
Call them the littler schools that could.
That's the theme of a just-released study on technology transfer that looked at the surprising tech transfer results of a number of smaller colleges and universities whose research and development budgets fell far short of the funds expended by tech development superstars such as MIT and Stanford.
The lesson learned, say the study's authors, is that a good combination of partnerships, incentives, and federal and local funding can help move research into the commercial arena, even when a school's R&D budget is modest.
The commercialization of academic research is big business. According to the study, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, in the last 10 years academic institutions have nearly doubled the number of licenses executed and more than doubled the number of startups launched. Universities that responded to the Association of University Technology Managers Licensing Survey reported that gross license income from licenses to corporations and startups in 2005 totaled about $1.6 billion.
The Tech Transfer Payoff
The study, prepared by Innovation Associates, a consulting firm in Reston, Va., highlighted a number of smaller programs that are developing new technologies through academic research, licensing the inventions, and helping launch businesses that use them. With fewer resources than the big players, however, these schools have to think creatively to contribute to the greater economic development of their state or region.
Technology transfer, the process of turning scholarly work into a marketable and practical product or service, spans a broad range of possibilities. In other words, it's not necessarily about coming up with the next iPod. "Innovation is not always high-tech," says Diane Palmintera, president of Innovation Associates and lead author of the study. "Innovation and new technology businesses can be based on advancement in different fields."
Leveraging the strengths of a university, Palmintera adds, can help it compete. For example, she says the University of Pittsburgh is finding success by getting funding from the National Institutes of Health and spinning off biotechnology businesses and Iowa State University carved out a niche in agriculture.
Engines of Local Development
One of the concepts that infuses the entrepreneurial culture of such programs in rural areas is "think globally, act locally." Because the school provides licenses or seed funding and office space, the companies often feel indebted to it and to the state or region. As a result, all parties involved share the goal of contributing to the economic development of the university's home state, region, or even country, depending on the potential magnitude of the business at hand.
John Finley II, chairman and chief executive of MemPro Ceramics, says he considers the University of Akron the primary economic developer in northeastern Ohio. His company, which provides filtration products for various industries, agreed to a licensing arrangement with the University of Akron in 2005 after a professor there encouraged him to take a look at the school's nanofiber research. Finley says the arrangement with the university has taken his firm from an outlook of $50 million to $100 million in opportunities to the tens of billions of dollars. He is so committed to the university and its relationship with his business that he's moving the company headquarters to Akron. He's already based there himself.
Use It or Lose It
Universities have always played a role in economic development. After all, it's their responsibility to educate the workforce and keep U.S. employees ahead of the pack, says Thomas Sharpe, associate vice-president for economic development at another Iowa school, the University of Iowa. Today the commitment to technology transfer allows universities yet another way to disseminate knowledge, through their inventions and discoveries, he says.
Academic institutions, says Sharpe, have a legal responsibility, too. He cites the Bayh-Dole Act, which covers any research funded by the federal government. The 1980 law boosted technology transfer by assigning patent rights to universities. At the same time, schools are required to identify, patent, and license products that result from their federally funded research or to return the rights to the federal government to do so.
To fulfill this obligation, Sharpe suggests universities take full advantage of the resources they have. He advises schools in rural areas to network and develop groups within the university to work together. At the University of Iowa, for instance, six centers for enterprise work with one another on the greater goal of economic development and an active technology transfer program. In addition, Sharpe participates in the Midwest Research Universities Network, where he shares best practices and informs venture capitalists that there are serious opportunities in the middle of the country, too.
Paving the Way to Commercialization
Professors and businesspeople alike agree that the only way a university can successfully compete in the technology transfer arena is by creating a culture of entrepreneurship. At Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, administrators and faculty have long supported business development on campus. In 1980, RPI opened an incubator, one of the first at a university. About a year later, the school opened its technology park. In 2000 the school developed an official strategic plan outlining RPI's commitment to scientific research and the creation of new ventures.
Administrators also put financial support and resources behind its promises. Today, RPI's Office of Technology Commercialization has grown from one or two employees in 2000 to about eight employees. The incubator has been responsible for creating 160 to 170 companies, says Charles Rancourt, director of RPI's Office of Technology Commercialization. And the school has hired 183 new faculty members since 1999, which increased the number of researchers on board. "We're smaller than MIT or Stanford," says Rancourt. "But the quality is very rich."
Changing the culture of any organization is a slow process. Steven Nissen, professor of Animal Science at Iowa State University and CEO of Metabolic Technologies, which launched at the university, says most universities still uphold the dogma, "If you're not publishing, you're not contributing." Although Iowa State believes that academic institutions need both to publish research and to commercialize it, others are not quite there yet, he says.
Most of the experts agree, however, that the future will bring continued synergy to universities and businesses. In fact, a recent report from the accreditation organization AACSB International challenges academics (BusinessWeek.com, 8/14/07) to make their research more practical and relevant to the corporate world.
John Cavalier, retired chairman, president, and CEO of MapInfo, which was recently sold to Pitney Bowes (PBI) and began as a project conducted by students and a professor at RPI, predicts that universities will see that technology has the potential to be a great source of revenue. The only caveat, he says, is that the schools have to create the right atmosphere to breed these inventions and businesses. To do that, the academics will have to put the money where their research is.
Check out the BusinessWeek.com slide show for a list of 10 lesser-known schools making their mark in tech development.

Smoked olive oil has a bold flavor that I love—you can smoke your own olive oil or buy it—but you can use other oils with these potato chips. To make the thin potato slices needed for great potato chips, you need a mandoline. Even if you have very good knife skills, it's time-consuming to do the task with a knife. An inexpensive Japanese mandoline does a fine job.–Michael Chiarello
LC Cheater, Cheater, Potato Chip Eater Note
Magnificent. Marvie. Munchable. Manchego-y. Mmmm. That's what we think about these glammed-up Manchego potato chips. And we swear these ever-so-slightly uppity, wine-friendly, beer-loving, commotion-starting potato chips are a cinch to make. That said, if you're already groaning about having to drag out your mandoline or hand-held slicer, we've got an easier version for you. Here's our cheater, cheater, potato chip eater version: Dump your fave store-bought kettle chips (plain, natch) on a rimmed baking sheet, slide in a 350°F (176°C) oven until hot, and then shower with the Manchego and olive oil. That's it. Just don't forget to pass the napkins and gracefully accept compliments. And hey, speaking of napkins and fancy schmancy makeovers for store-bought potato chips, you're gonna wanna take a gander at this slightly less uppity but still soulful rendition of barbecue potato chips. Bet you can't eat just one.
Special Equipment: deep-fry thermometer
Manchego Potato Chips Recipe
- 6 large (about 1 1/2 pounds) Idaho potatoes, scrubbed and, if desired, peeled
- Peanut oil, for frying
- 2 tablespoons smoked olive oil* or regular olive oil (or substitute 1 1/2 tablespoons truffle oil)
- 1/2 cup grated aged Manchego cheese
- 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt, preferably gray salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1. With a mandoline, shave the potatoes into paper-thin slices. Soak the slices in cold water for 30 minutes.
- 2. Meanwhile, pour enough peanut oil into a large, deep pot to reach a depth of 4 inches. Turn the heat to medium-high and wait until the oil registers 375°F (190ºC) on a deep-fry thermometer. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- 3. Drain the potatoes and pat the slices completely dry with paper towels. When the oil is holding steady at the desired temperature, carefully add a handful of potato slices to the oil. Cook until the potatoes turn golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. With a fry basket or slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to the towel-lined baking sheet and add another handful of potatoes to the hot oil. Repeat until all the potato slices are deep-fried.
- 4. Sprinkle the cooked potatoes with half the smoked oil or truffle oil, half the cheese, and half the salt and pepper. Gently toss and then sprinkle with the remaining oil, cheese, and seasonings. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Smoked Olive Oil At Home
- To smoke olive oil at home, place 2 big handfuls of wood chips in a bowl or bucket of water and let them soak for about 30 minutes while you start the fire.
Ignite the charcoal in a grill with a cover. When the coals are ready, spread them on the grill. Fill a roasting pan half full with water. Pour 6 cups extra-virgin olive oil into a second roasting pan and add 1 tablespoon juniper berries, rind from 1 orange, 2 bay leaves, and 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme. With your hand, take the soaked wood chips out of the water and flick them to shake off some excess liquid. Add the wood chips to the coals.
Close the grill and let it fill with smoke. Open the grill, and put the water-filled pan on the grill rack. Rest the pan filled with oil and aromatics on top of the water-filled pan. Close the lid and let it smoke for 5 to 7 minutes for a subtle smoke essence or 10 to 15 minutes for a smokier oil. (If it becomes too smoky for your taste, simply dilute it with a little more olive oil.) Take both pans off the coals and set them aside to cool.
When the oil is cool, pour it through a paper coffee filter or fine-mesh sieve into a glass jar. Cover tightly and store in a cool, dry place. The smoky flavor will dissipate over time, but it will hold for a good month.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
White House Privately Asks For Gradual Return To HealthCare.gov
"We want to make sure that those who are reaching consumers at scale know that this isn't like you flip the switch and everyone can come back on the first day," the official said.
The plan would serve two purposes. First, it would lighten the load on HealthCare.gov next week, the first after the administration's self-imposed Dec. 1 deadline to get it fully functioning. Limiting the number of people who are coming to the site should help prevent any embarrassing outages. And second, preventing outages would ensure that people who are returning to the site after being frustrated by its early problems will have a better experience.
Julie Bataille, spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which oversees the site's operations, told reporters Monday that the website's capacity would be doubled from 25,000 users at a time to 50,000 by next week. At that level, the site will be able to handle the load and perform well, she said. But above that level, there will presumably be a higher risk of crashes.
The fear of too much traffic is real for the White House. According to the senior administration official, the site sometimes saw as many as 250,000 people at the same time in October. Plus, the administration has very publicly pledged to have the site working by the end of November, and there is an expectation that traffic could spike as people come back following the Thanksgiving holiday after having a chance to talk about health insurance with their families. Those two factors could combine to send people in droves to the site starting Monday.
By contacting these influential enrollment groups and asking them to take a gradual approach, the administration is aiming to mitigate some of that risk. If volume is heavy, the site will be better equipped to handle it, the senior official said, with a better queueing system for users who have to wait than existed last month.
"It's a different world from what it was before," the official said. But avoiding any traffic problems would be preferable after the site's disastrous launch last month.
Though the official said the two weren't linked, the administration has also given advocates more time to sign people up for coverage that starts on Jan. 1. CMS extended that deadline last week from Dec. 15 to Dec. 23. So if those groups do take the phased approach that the White House is requesting, they will have that extra week to enroll people without having to wait for their coverage to begin

Accommodations in Sanxenxo
Sanxenxo is one of the prettiest municipalities of Pontevedra, and is divided into six parishes containing many beaches where the EUs Blue Flag waves. Every year the majority of beaches here receive this badge of quality, and therefore Ayuntamiento de Sanxenxo makes an effort to maintain its beaches to a state of perfection. In fact, over the years it is this community that has received the highest number of Blue Flags in Spain.To mention all the beaches of the area would be too complicated. Simply put, they come to suit every taste: some with fine sand, some close to patches of thick vegetation, and others in more developed areas everything depends on the parish in which you are staying.
The best-known might be the Playa de la Lanzada, which is shared by Sanxenxo and Ogrove. A beach of rough sand, surrounded by incredible fauna, as it is next to the intermareal.
Playa de Major enjoys moderate surges and fine white sand in the most open part of Ria de Pontevedra.
One of most emblematic beaches of Sanxenxo is Silgar, located in the center of the municipality. Due to its mountain formations is one of warmest and sunniest of Galicia.
Like all of Galicia, there are pretty places to visit, like the protected intertidal area of Umia-OGrove, close to the estuary of la Ria de Arousa. There is a multitude of walking routes to enjoy, like La Ruta dos Carballos (where you can hike), the impressive-looking points of the Ria de Pontevedra, the island of A Toxa, and many other options near the towns of Sanxenxo.
As in all of the Galician community, the local gastronomy is another main tourist attraction. And if the weather does not permit a day at the beach, there are many culinary alternatives.
The nightlife of Sanxenxo begins with traditional tascas of Portonovo in the Street of Wines; from there you can enjoy the many discotheques and pubs in the towns, and the terraces of Silgar, which are calmer and more ideal for enjoying the summer nights.
The fishing town of Portonovo is the center of Galician summer migration.

Brett Ratner has never been shy of making his appreciation of the female form known, and when it comes to his own junk, the director is his own biggest fan. So who can blame him when can't remember the name of somebody he slept with?
The Rat recent visited "Attack Of The Show" to promote the upcoming "Tower Heist" and tried to play nice but wound up sounding like a total douche when host Kevin Pereira confronted him about former host Olivia Munn's accusations that she leveled at the helmer in her recent book, "Suck It, Wonder Woman: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek." Among other things, she claims she once stepped in on Ratner living the dream — jerking off his tiny penis while eating a shrimp cocktail (so many puns).
Here's what Ratner had to say it in his own douche-tacular way: "She was hanging out on my set of 'After the Sunset,' I banged her a few times…but I forgot her," he said. "Because she changed her name…I didn't know it was the same person. So when she came and auditioned for me for a TV show, I forgot her, she got pissed off and she made up all these stories about me eating shrimp and masturbating in my trailer. And my shortcomings. She talked about my shortcomings. I get it. She's bitter."
He also added, in his United Colors Of Benetton sort of way, "I used to date Olivia Munn … when she was Lisa. That was the problem. She wasn't Asian back then." Oof. There was probably a more elegant way to address this, but then again, this guy directed "Rush Hour 3" so his idea of grace is probably a bit out of line.
Watch the classy gentleman in the interview below. And may The Ratner forever become a euphemism for jacking it while eating seafood.

Twyla Tharp's "The creative habit" is a must read for all serious creatives out there. If you haven't already, here are some of Twyla's quotes to get you interested.
"Creativity is an act of defiance."
"The thing about creativity is, people are going to laugh at it. Get over it."
"Everything is raw material. Everything is relevant. Everything is usable. Everything feeds into my creativity. But without proper preparation, I cannot see it, retain it, and use it."
"A lot of habitually creative people have preparation rituals linked to the setting in which they choose to start their day. By putting themselves into that environment, they start their creative day."
"Reading, conversation, environment, culture, heroes, mentors, nature – all are lottery tickets for creativity. Scratch away at them and you'll find out how big a prize you've won."
"It is extremely arrogant and very foolish to think that you can ever outwit your audience."

Now I'll be the first to admit that I am quite lucky to have lots of time on my hands, enabling me to go out and do long rides every day. And my ability to clock up this much climbing has a lot more to do with time to ride than anything else. But it's still something I got excited about as I got closer to the big number.
We had a very mild winter in 2012, which allowed me and most of my riding neighbors to do a lot of early season riding. Then Strava had this climbing challenge from mid-March to the end of April. I got a little taste of competition as I flirted with the top spot on the female leaderboard. And by the end, I'd accumulated a lot of feet, and it seemed also a new love of climbing.
I've never considered myself a climber. Fear Rothar is the climber. But he seems to influence me a bit. I started doing the hill-climb races, because he was doing the hill-climb races. And of course when we ride the tandem, I have no choice but to go up and down all the same hills. But I will admit that at some point I developed a real love of the views from the top of these climbs, and eventually found I also really enjoyed the journey.
A suitable brew! |
The ride that put me over the top!

Receive e-mail alerts for new research on XCO:
Interested in XCO?
Don't miss the next report.
Baker Hughes, an oilfield services company, reported that rigs targeting natural gas dropped from 420 to 407 for the week ending March 8. The top chart shows natural gas rigs drilling since January 2011.
As seen in the chart above, rigs specifically targeting natural gas have largely fallen off since October 2011 given sustained low natural gas prices (see natural gas price graph below).
Natural gas supply and prices are major drivers of valuation for natural gas producers such as Chesapeake Energy (CHK), Comstock Resources (CRK), Southwestern Energy (SWN), and EXCO Resources (XCO).
To provide some context, the number of rigs drilling for natural gas can be indicative of how companies feel about the economics of drilling for natural gas. More natural gas rigs drilling generally means companies feel bullish on the natural gas environment. Additionally, rigs drilling can also be indicative of future supply as more rigs drilling implies more production. Therefore, market participants monitor rig counts to get a sense of oil and gas producers' sentiment and as a rough indicator of future expected supply.
This past week, natural gas rigs decreased by 13 and since the beginning of the year rig counts have decreased by 32 (~7%). Rig counts fell steeply between October 2011 and October 2012, however, rig counts had largely plateaued since then until the beginning of 2013.
With this decline in rigs throughout most of 2012, one would expect a drastic cutback in natural gas production, and therefore a bump in prices and natural gas producer valuations. Despite this, supply has remained flattish thus far, with prices rebounding somewhat since 2Q12 lows, but mostly from demand drivers rather than supply cutbacks. The below chart shows natural gas production in the US over the past twelve months and one can see that supply has not fallen off significantly.
There are a few major likely reasons why natural gas production has not yet followed the drop off in rig counts.
That is not to say that supply cuts will not be experienced at all. Note that in the above graph US natural gas production goes only through December 2012, as that is the last period that the DOE has reported thus far. One has yet to see what the DOE will report for January and February. Additionally, companies plan their expenditures year by year, and it is likely that given the continued low price of natural gas and continued support in the price of oil, that companies will further shift capital away from natural gas and towards oil in their 2013 drilling budgets.
However, thus far the rig reductions have not put a significant dent in natural gas supply. Therefore, natural gas prices have remained relatively low which has muted the margins and valuation of domestic natural gas weighted producers such as Chesapeake Energy (CHK), Comstock Resources (CRK), Southwestern Energy (SWN), and EXCO Resources (XCO). Additionally, natural gas prices affect the US Natural Gas Fund (UNG), an ETF designed to track Henry Hub natural gas prices, the major domestic benchmark for the commodity. This past week saw a reduction in rig counts, and rig counts have moved down ~7% since the beginning of 2013. If this trend continues over the following weeks it could signal further bearish sentiment from producers and could possibly result in a supply reduction which would be positive for prices.

The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHSC-H), The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (UT MDACC), and the Memorial Hermann Hospital System wish to renew their Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA), which established the Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences (CCTS) in 2006. In the first cycle, the institutions created our CCTS, provided services to 835 investigators in 104 fields, trained KL2 scholars and TL1 trainees, and worked with the greater Houston and Brownsville communities to disseminate health care information and study the unique health issues in Brownsville's Hispanic border population. To further collaborative research in Texas, our CCTS founded the Texas CTSA Consortium and the Lowering the Barriers Program, which has established IRB reciprocity in the University of Texas System. Our CCTS's mission reads: The Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences provides research infrastructure, training and knowledge transfer to expedite the process of translating discovery to practice. We faciliate research and its dissemination for our investigators, our trainees and students, our patients, our local and state population, our Texas CTSA consortium collaborators, and the national CTSA consortium. To this end, we will focus on a thematic structure in the next cycle. Our themes are: 1) Advancing Translational Sciences by Advancing Personalized Therapy (T1 translation) by determing pathophysiology and developing targeted therapeutics and Advancing Community Engagement and dissemination and implementation research (T3/T4 translation);2) Advancing Clinical Sciences by accelerating and improving new modalities for the design and conduct of clinical research and by accelerating and improving outcomes of research (T2 translation);and 3) Advancing the Clinical and Translational Science Research Workforce (Post-graduate training. Graduate training and research staff training).
The goal of the Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences (CCTS), funded by a Clinical and Translational Science Award, is to move scientific and medical discoveries as fas as possible from the laboratory to the clinic and community, where they can improve the health of the American people. The CCTS trains researchers, provides research services, and works with its communities to learn their helath concerns and spread health care information.
