Andy Evens of the Swan Kidderminster says "Like a lot of publicans, I could look at the till takings and see if we had turned over more or less. I was getting stock takers in every month or two to audit the stock". "Because the stock report was paper based, it tended to get tucked away and was never really used. I was spending around Ł1800 a year on not achieving very much!" "I'm no computer whiz, but this is really easy to use. It's very well laid out, and I found that I was soon able to set up new products, change prices and the like. The best part is the stock-take process. It prints a list which you just take round and fill in the blanks. I can now do hassle-free stock takes whenever I want! It also lets me enter my till readings to balance the takings against stock used".

Stayclean Beerpipe Systems
Shenstone Court, Forge Lane, Halesowen, West Midlands B62 8EB
Tel: 0121-550-6347
Fax: 0121-550-6347
About Us:
Stayclean Beerpipe System was invented in 1994 as a final solution to the wasteful weekly beerpipe cleaning process. Having been in the trade since 1964 we were aware of numerous claims made by many 'inventors' who only ended up giving the Breweries nightmares with their new fangled costly cleaning systems. We discovered their faults and following 8 months of R&D came up with the solution / Stayclean. Whilst Stayclean was invented to do what its name says, the original idea in keeping pipes clean was to ensure a clean, clear consistent pint every time. However, licensees soon realised that by keeping pipes clean for at least 1 month, the 75% savings and other benefits quickly paid back the initial outlay. The majority of our clients, into their 10th year with us, are tenants / leasees.
What We Offer:
The Stayclean system is unique and although now into its eleventh year of operation still has no competition. Based on our own patented system a series of ultrasonic radio waves travel the entire length of beer piping. Radio waves do not need a conductor, they go with the flow of beer through fobs and chiller unit inhibiting yeast growth throughout. Stayclean always guarantee that cleaning will only be carried out MONTHLY, not WEEKLY. You will clean in the same procedure as now using your cleaning ring main. The only difference is it is monthly, not weekly. Stayclean requires no maintenance and is guaranteed for 5 years. To ensure complete satisfaction we offer the following opportunity. After a survey and quotation we will install Stayclean for 1 month. After 28 days, you decide.

Top Tips For Cheaper, Better Car Insurance
Do you have the right car insurance. Do you have enough coverage? While most people know whether they have liability, collision and/or comprehensive coverage, few people pay much attention to their insurance coverage until after they've been in an accident. Shopping for car insurance is a financial planning topic that is often overlooked, since most teenagers are added to mom and dad's insurance policy when they first get behind the wheel, and then later shop for the least expensive policy when they have to the pay the bill on their own. In this article we'll go over car insurance coverage and give you some tips to help you get the most for your money.
The Basic Types of Coverage
Protecting your assets and your health are two of the primary benefits of car insurance. Getting the proper coverage is the first step in the process. These are the basic types of coverage with which most people are familiar:
-Liability : This coverage pays for third-party personal injury and death-related claims, as well as any damage to another person's property that occurs as a result of your automobile accident. Liability coverage is required in all but a few states.
-Collision : This coverage pays to repair your car after an accident. It is required if you have a loan against your vehicle because the car isn't really yours – it belongs to the bank, which wants to avoid getting stuck with a wrecked car.
-Comprehensive : This coverage pays for damage incurred as a result of theft, vandalism, fire, water, etc. If you paid cash for your car or paid off your car loan, you may not need collision or comprehensive coverage, particularly if the blue book value of your car is less than $5,000.
(For additional reading, see Pros And Cons Of Leasing Vs Buying A Vehicle .)
Additional Coverage
In addition to the coverage listed above, other optional coverage types include the following:
-Full Tort/Limited Tort: You can reduce your insurance bill by a few dollars if you give up your right to sue in the event of an accident. However, giving up your rights is rarely a smart financial move.
-Medical Payments/Personal Injury Protection: Personal injury protection pays the cost of medical bills for the policyholder and passengers. If you have good health insurance coverage, this may not be necessary. (For additional reading, check out Fighting The High Costs Of Healthcare .)
-Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: This option provides for medical and property damage coverage if you are involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist.
-Towing: Towing coverage pays for a tow if your vehicle cannot be driven after an accident. If you are a member of an automobile service, or if your vehicle comes with roadside assistance provided by the manufacturer, this coverage is unnecessary.
-Glass Breakage: Some companies do not cover broken glass under their collision or comprehensive policies. In general, this coverage is not worth the long-term cost.
-Rental : This insurance option covers the cost of a rental car, but rental cars are so inexpensive that it may not be worth paying for this coverage.
-Gap: If you demolish that $35,000 sport utility vehicle 10 minutes after you drive it off the lot, the amount the insurance company pays is likely to leave you with no vehicle and a big bill. The same thing applies if your new set of wheels gets stolen. Gap insurance pays the difference between the blue book value of a vehicle and the amount of money still owed on the car. If you are leasing a vehicle or purchasing a vehicle with a low, or no, down payment, gap insurance is a great idea.
Factors That Impact Your Rates
In addition to the specific coverage options that you select, other factors that affect your auto insurance rates include the following:
-Deductible : This is the amount of money that you pay out of your own pocket if you get in an accident. The higher your deductible. the lower your insurance bill. In general, a deductible of at least $500 is worth considering, as damage to your vehicle that comes in at less than $500 can often be paid without filing an insurance claim.
-Age: Younger, less experienced drivers have higher insurance rates.
-Gender: Men have higher rates than women.
-Demographics: People living in high-crime areas pay more than those living in low-crime areas.
-Claims: Accident-prone drivers pay more. If you want to keep your rates low, keep the number of claims that you file to a minimum.
-Moving Violations: Speeding and other moving violations all have a negative impact on your insurance bill. Obey the law to help keep your rates from rising.
-Vehicle Choice: Sports cars cost more to insure than sedans, and expensive cars cost more to insure than cheap ones do. Looking into the cost of insurance before you purchase that new car could help you save a bundle on your car insurance.
-Driving Habits: The number of miles that you drive, whether or not you use your car for work, and the distance between your home and work all play a role in determining your rates.
-Theft Deterrent Systems: If you have an alarm on your car, you'll pay less to insure your vehicle.
-Safety Devices: Air bags and anti-lock brakes both work in your favor by keeping you safer and lowering your insurance bill.
-Accident Prevention Training: Some companies offer discounts if you take a driver's education training course.
-Multiple Policies : If you have more than one car and/or also have homeowner or renter's insurance, keep in mind that many insurance companies offer discounts based on the number of policies that you have with them.
-Payment Plan: Some insurance companies offer discounts based on your payment plan. Paying your entire yearly bill at one time, instead of in installments, may lead to a discount.
-Credit Score: Good credit lowers your car insurance rates. Bad credit increases them. (To learn more about this process, see Insight Into Insurance Scoring and The Importance Of Your Credit Rating .)
Shopping Tips
When you're in the market for car insurance, c areful shopping is a must. Prices, features and benefits vary widely from company to company. Minimum coverage requirements vary too. In Florida, for instance, the minimum coverage requirements are $10,000 for personal injury protection and $10,000 for property damage.
In the personal injury department, $10,000 dollars doesn't buy much in the way of medical services should an operation or prolonged stay in the hospital be required. The same is true when it comes to personal property, as there are many sport utility vehicles and luxury cars that are priced well above $30,000. Therefore, protecting your financial assets in the event of an accident is likely to require far more coverage.
Comparison shopping is always a smart thing to do, and there are many websites designed to help consumers compare insurance policy prices. Insurance agents can help too. Independent agents often offer policies from multiple carriers and can help you find the policy best suited to your needs. Before you eschew an agent in favor of an online provider, think carefully about who you are going to call after you have an accident. Your agent has an incentive, in the form of your repeat business, to provide good service, while an online service may come up short.
Before you buy a policy, research your policy provider – regardless of who it is. Numerous firms rate the financial health of insurance companies, and your state also has an insurance website that rates firms based on the number of complaints they have received. (For a comprehensive list of state insurance regulators, visit the Federal Citizen Information Center .)
Shopping wisely can help you protect your health, your assets and your wallet, so put forth the effort to determine the type and amount of coverage that you need. Also make sure that you review and understand your policy before you sign on the dotted line. If you plan well, you'll be pleased with the results, should you ever find the need to put your policy to the test by making a claim.

Colorado delivered the perfect winter landscape as light fluffy snowflakes began to fall as guests arrived at the historic St Malo Church (www.saintmalo.org) for Danielle and Michael's Estes Park wedding. The bride arrived in style riding in a beautiful Rolls-Royce provided by Boulder Denver Limousines (www.boulderdenverlimo.com). The wedding party walked down the aisle to the beautiful sound of Mary Keener (www.marykeener.com) playing the harp. Following the ceremony guests arrived at Wild Basin Lodge (www.wildbasinlodge.com) for a night of good food, spirits and dancing. The guest tables were perfectly set with handmade table runners and napkins and beautiful florals provided by Floral Designs of Europe (www.fdofeurope.com) Colorado Rose Cake Company (www.coloradorosecakeco.com) did an outstanding job creating a cake the reflected the bride and groom's love of skiing. Guests danced the night away to all the latest hits provided by Sounds of the Rockies (www.soundsoftherockies.com) The vintage inspired candy bar and cigar bar kept the party going late into the night. A unique aspect to this wedding was the addition of Keith a.k.a Scramble Campbell (www.scramblecampbell.com), a local artist who was tasked with creating a painting to commemorate this joyous day. Keith braved the weather and sat in a field in the middle of the snow storm sketching St. Malo Church. He then moved to the reception where he finished his painting. Keith was a great addition to the festivities; the painting that he made will be a lasting reminder of this wonderful day for Danielle and Michael. We loved making this couples vision become a reality and were honored to be a part of their big day! Thank you Cheryl with Artist I Photography (www.artistiphotography.com), who did a great job documenting the day.

We had another great month for custom baby bedding creations from customers using our custom design studio. There were some really creative designs put together and I plan to highlight some of our favorites on a regular basis. After looking through all of our orders for February, we have a few staff favorites to highlight.
My personal favorite is the black minky combined with latte curly minky set. The bumper features alternating panels of black minky and latte minky with black ties. The crib skirt uses latte minky for the body with trim in black and the comforter has latte minky on one side and black minky on the reverse with black trim. The picture doesn't really do the comforter justice – that is going to be one ultra-soft comforter! The nice twist to this set is the white minky chenille crib sheet. I really like the subtle contrast this adds to the collection.
The next custom crib set that got our vote is the giraffe minky print combined with solid celery green and sable. The bumper and comforter in this custom set are created with the minky giraffe print and trimmed with solid celery. The crib skirt features a solid sable brown and trimmed with solid celery. And the crib sheet balances out the collection with solid celery. This is a great design for an animal/jungle themed nursery.
The third of our favorite custom collections from February is a pink and black dot combination. The inside of the bumper in this collection is created with solid pink minky and the outside features pink and black dot fabric and is trimmed in solid black. The skirt matches the pink and black dot design with black trim. The crib sheet balances these two parts with a black and pink dot fabric. The comforter will definitely be a super soft delight for one special baby girl as it features solid pink minky on one side and black and pink dot minky on the other.
These are just a few samples of the custom collections that have been created with our custom design studio. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out! But be ready to spend some time as it can be addictive 😉

The Gauchos accomplished the improbable on Saturday night at USC's Galen Center, upsetting the top-ranked and top-seeded USC Trojans in a dramatic five-set match by a score of 3-2 (20-25, 25-23, 21-25, 25-18, 16-14), taking home the MPSF Championship for the first time in school history. For the second time this postseason, UCSB gave a top team its first and only home loss of the season- USC sits at 23-3 after the loss. UCSB (17-14) advances to the NCAA Final Four for just the fifth time in school history, and for the first time since 1988. UCSB, riding a three-match winning streak, will learn its semi-final opponent on Sunday, May 1.
Coming in, UCSB knew it would need a total team effort to edge out the top team in the nation, and that's exactly what they got as every single starter contributed in key ways throughout the match. Leading the Gauchos was MPSF Tournament MVP Jeff Menzel, who set a new season-high at the most opportune time with 28 kills. Limiting Menzel was a priority for the Trojans, said Head Coach Bill Ferguson, "We didn't stop Menzel at the right times. We got digs early in the sets, but he was able to rise to the occasion. The guy's a freak, and I mean that in the best sense of the term."
Things did not start off well for the Gauchos, who traded points with the Trojans at the onset of the match until USC mounted a run that saw them climb to a lead of 14-8 after a Murphy Troy serve found the floor between Menzel and senior outside hitter Trey Valbuena. Though the score of the set wasn't ultimately very close, the game featured some of the longest and most intense rallies of the season, as reflected in the team dig totals. UCSB had 11 team digs and USC had 13 in the first set alone. The Gauchos were able to regain a little momentum, coming as close as 23-20, before a block-ace combo from Tri Bourne clinched the set for USC. Senior libero Andy McGuire, a second team All-American and All-MPSF, had five of his 14 digs in the first set. As a team, USC had three aces. Murphy Troy, the conference player of the year, had six kills to go along with Tony Ciarelli's five. UCSB was unable to pick up a team block in the game.
The Gauchos came out of the second set flying, literally, as several Gauchos picked up diving digs throughout the set. USC gave the Gauchos a run for their money all set, coming their close with the score 14-12: a Menzel attack bounced off the face of USC libero Henry Cassiday, but the Trojans still found a way to get it over the net and take the point. UCSB was undeterred, claiming four of the next five points to reestablish the lead. Ironically, one of the tightest games of the year featured no lead changes: the Gauchos led at all points. USC came close at the end of the match, being down just one point at 24-23, but were unable to bring it to a deuce point. Menzel had a game to remember in the second, picking up 12 kills, his highest output for a single game all year. Senior setter Vince Devany had 17 of his 59 assists in the second game.
The third set got off to a similarly fortuitous start for UCSB, as they went up early 5-2. USC came back though, tying the game 9-9 when an errant Trey Valbuena attack crossed the net on the wrong side of the antenna. A block by Tri Bourne gave them the lead on the next play, and they never looked back. In the game, senior opposite Cullen Irons picked up five of his 12 digs, continuing his strong defensive play. On the night, Cullen had 15 kills and 12 digs for a double-double. It was just the second double-double by a Gaucho all season. The first was also by Cullen (12 kills, 11 digs at UC San Diego on Jan. 14). For the second game of the night, the Gauchos were unable to record a team block.
Needing to win consecutive games to take home the championship, the Gauchos got to work in the fourth set. An impressive solo block by Devany that tied the game at 4-4 seemed to fire up his teammates. With the score 11-10 Gauchos, Trey Valbuena had one of the strongest sequences of his career, garnering a kill, ace, and kill on consecutive points to distance UCSB from the Trojans. Menzel reached his 20th kill in the set, the sixth time he has reached that plateau in his last eight matches. UCSB would win 14 of the next 18 points, looking as dominant as they have all year in the meantime. Irons and sophomore middle blocker Dylan Davis picked up two blocks apiece in the set, and as a team the Gauchos hit .588 for the game, compared to just .185 for USC.
At the beginning of the dramatic fifth set, UCSB got a bit of a break on the first play when Tony Ciarelli slipped as he tried to strike a set, giving the Gauchos an easy point. The rest of the game would not come so easy, as the teams would be deadlocked all the way up to 14-14. A go ahead ace by Murphy Troy at 5-5 and a tying quick-strike by senior middle blocker Scott Slaughter at 8-7 were two of the key plays of the early part of the game. The Gauchos appeared on their way to an easy victory when, with the score tied 11-11, Jeff Menzel smashed a cross-court kill and then recorded a service ace on the ensuing point. However, Tri Bourne and Steven Shandrick teamed up for a huge block that tied the match again at 13-13. A Troy service error at 14-14 set the stage for the deciding play of the game. A Dylan Davis serve was poorly handled by the USC back line, who sent an over pass back towards the Gauchos. Scott Slaughter was waiting for it, smashing down the pass to claim the first MPSF Championship ever for UCSB.
Said Slaughter, "As soon as it hit the ground...there's no way to explain it. It was surreal. You put it in the work and don't quit, anything can happen."
Reflecting on the victory, Head Coach Rick McLaughlin said "We're a whole different team than we were two weeks ago. It's the guys' desire, it hasn't stopped all year and it's all coming together at the right time."
Three Gauchos were named to the All-Tournament Team: MVP Jeff Menzel, outside hitter Trey Valbuena, whose passing was key to the Gauchos playoff victories, and middle blocker Scott Slaughter, who clinched the championship for UCSB.
Looking forward, the Gauchos will head to University Park, PA to take place in the NCAA Final Four Tournament hosted by Penn State.
Asked about the prospect of playing in the Final Four, Menzel expressed no fear, saying "we don't care who we play. Whoever we play we are gonna beat."

These days, everyone seems to have a blog. I'm all for it. Even if the blogger is an illiterate bonehead who has nothing to say, he should be allowed to say it.
Publishing blogs seem to be on the upswing. Several NY editors and agents are blogging, their identities hidden by pseudonyms. More and more professional writers are using blogs as ways to communicate regularly with fans. Newbie authors are documenting their struggles to succeed. There's a lot of good information out there, being exchanged.
So why does it seem like the entire book blog world exists only to feed itself?
I have a blog, and I post on other writer's blogs, and then they post on my blog. I link to them, they link to me (and by the way, if I haven't linked to you yet, email me and I will.) Sometimes I'll visit ten blogs and see that the same three people have posted on every single one of them.
Now part of that may be because writers tend to know each other, and when you're on the computer ten hours a day of course you're going to waste some time. Part of that may be that writers tend to be a bit more self-important than the general population, quick to give their opinions whenever the opportunity arises. Or, it may just be one giant auto-erotic stroke job, and the entire framework of the book blog community rests on the shoulders of half a dozen men and women with nothing better to do.
If I haven't already slit my own throat here, I'd like to point out that I'm pleased with the response and traffic my blog gets. I like the regulars who hang out here (even the ones who generate debate.)
But I'd also like to know if more people are reading this than just the folks I link to.
If you read this blog and have never posted before, I'm asking you to take five seconds and post something. I've even temporarily allowed anonymous posts, so you don't have to sign up.
I want to hear from lurkers, from surfers, from the busy, the shy, the lazy, the wallflowers.
Prove to me that you're out there.

USAgain, a company that helps divert millions of pounds of clothing and textiles from landfills each year, has expanded its operations in northern Iowa. Green and white USAgain bins were recently placed at three Emmetsburg businesses: Food Pride, Dyno's, and Hometown Convenience.
USAgain provides area residents with an eco-friendly way to discard unwanted clothing, shoes, and other textiles in their conveniently located drop boxes. Items are picked up by USAgain personnel once a week, or more if needed.
"Textile recycling is an important environmental issue. According to the EPA, Americans create approximately 12.4 million pounds of textile waste each year and about 85-percent of that goes directly into landfills," said Mattias Wallander, CEO of USAgain. "Our expansion in Iowa will help communities keep clothing and textiles out of landfills, providing them with a convenient and eco-friendly way of disposing of unwanted clothes."

Area residents may drop off unwanted clothing, shoes, and other textiles at the green and white USAgain drop boxes located at Food Pride, Hometown Convenience, and Dyno's in Emmetsburg. The items will be recycled—either sold by thrift stores or clothing wholesalers, sent overseas, or distributed to textile recyclers for other uses. Pictured above (from left) are Donald Joyce, assistant manager at Dyno's, and Tracy Fischer, who is depositing unwanted clothing. --Lori Hall photo
USAgain, head-quartered in Chicago, has been operating in Iowa 2008. The new bins will be placed in partnership with businesses, which will be compensated for each pound of clothing they collect. Residents can deposit unwanted clothing, shoes and other textiles in USAgain drop boxes, which are monitored and serviced regularly.
The clothing is brought to regional warehouses where it is sorted and then goes to thrift stores, clothing wholesalers, is sold overseas, or goes to textile recyclers that shred the items to make insulation for dishwashers, housing, the automobile industry and mattress padding. Non-reusable shoes are ground up to make raw materials for sidewalks, running tracks, playground mulch, and carpet padding.
In 2010 alone, USAgain collected 56 million pounds of discarded clothing. The company operates over 10,000 collection bins in 15 states. Their mission is to provide consumers with a convenient and eco-friendly option to rid themselves of excess clothing, which are then diverted from landfills.

Tagging Tiny Particles in Turbulent Clouds
New modeling technique reveals how pollution particles alter swelling storm clouds
Deep convective clouds form over the tropics where there is plenty of moisture providing fuel for them. Photo courtesy of NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory. Enlarge Image.
Results: Hitching tiny atmospheric particles to cloud formation enables climate models to represent the particles' effects on convective storm systems. Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and collaborators at North Carolina State University and Scripps Institution of Oceanography implemented a new modeling approach linking particles and convection in a regional climate model to capture an improved view of turbulent storm clouds. Their approach was verified through investigation of the impacts of these aerosol particles on the East Asian summer monsoon where convective storms are frequent.
"Linking microphysical properties of clouds and aerosols' effects to an existing convective cloud model representation led to more realistic simulations of monsoon precipitation and clouds' influence on Earth's energy balance," said Dr. Kyo-Sun Sunny Lim, PNNL atmospheric scientist and lead author of the study. "This new model capability, which is missing in most climate models, will help us investigate aerosols' effects on turbulent storm clouds and their influence on regional climate."
Why It Matters: Even very large atmospheric turbulence—the kind that creates tall, dark storm clouds that can unleash a downpour—is not resolved in most global and regional climate models. When climate models divide the Earth into grid sizes a computer can tackle, these clouds can be left out of the picture because they are so small.
To represent the full complexity of clouds, scientists use parameterizations, simplified equations to approximate the complexity. Current cumulus parameterizations, used to represent the atmospheric effects of turbulent updrafts of air called convection, do not capture two significant properties well: cloud microphysical processes and how they interact with atmospheric particles called aerosols. This study solved that problem and provides the "missing link" between aerosols and convection that is essential for understanding how pollution affects regional climate.
Methods: The research team linked aerosols with cloud droplet nucleation and ice nucleation processes to improve a cumulus parameterization with cloud microphysics. The updated parameterization was implemented in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model coupled with chemistry (WRF-Chem) and the physics module of the Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM5).
They conducted regional climate simulations over East Asia with the improved cumulus parameterization for July 2008 and compared two sets of simulations with and without microphysics processes to evaluate the impacts. They also performed simulations with polluted and clean conditions to examine how aerosols effect convection and the subsequent changes for the East Asian monsoon climate.
The model simulation (middle) during July 2008 with an improved cumulus parameterization shows good surface precipitation agreement with observational data (left). The simulation without cloud microphysics (right) in the cumulus parameterization doesn't capture the same observed rain bands. Enlarge Image
The researchers noted that the cumulus parameterization with and without the cloud microphysics representation has larger effects on the simulated cloud and precipitation than the simulated effects of increasing aerosol concentrations. This finding highlights the importance of addressing limitations in cumulus parameterizations used in climate models for more credible evaluation of aerosol effects.
What's Next? Researchers will compare the new cumulus parameterization to high-resolution simulations in which these clouds are explicitly resolved for further improvement of the parameterization.
Sponsors: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Biological and Environmental Research Regional and Global Climate Modeling program funded this research through the multi-institutional Decadal and Regional Climate Prediction using Earth System Models (EaSM) project. PNNL Institutional Computing resources were used for the study simulations.

Ward stepped down early last year after serving as the first head of the Europe-based Africa Command, which was created in 2007, and he intended to retire. He did all the paperwork and was hosted at a retirement ceremony in April 2011 at Fort Myer in Virginia, but the Army halted his plans to leave because of the investigation.Ever since then, he has been working in Northern Virginia, serving as a special assistant to the vice chief of the Army. That Army office long has been used as a holding area for general officers of varying ranks. For some it's a way station where senior officers under investigation go to await their fate.

Big 12 could be set for record-tying number of teams in NCAA tournament
Big 12 teams can find some consolation even as they take turns giving and receiving body blows in the college basketball version of a steel cage match.
The NCAA Tournament men's selection committee is acutely aware of the conference and is already taking notes. Committee chairman Ron Wellman acknowledged this week that the Big 12 is a different sort of animal with less than two months to Selection Sunday.
"The committee reviews what their regular-season format is," Wellman said. "The Big 12, they play a double round-robin. I don't know of another conference that does that."
When the committee looks at most conferences, it breaks down teams that play opponents just once in the regular season as opposed to twice and the quality of those opponents, Wellman said.
In the Big 12, everybody plays everybody, home and home, 18 games. This season, the impact has been clear.
Iowa State and Baylor compiled solid top-10 résumés in nonconference play. Now each is under .500 after struggling starts in the league. Baylor (1-4) and Iowa State (2-3) have each lost three straight conference games.
"Everybody in the Big 12 is a good team," Baylor coach Scott Drew said.
Yes, the conference is simply that tough, maybe as deep as it has ever been, including when it had 12 members until 2011.
The conference is ranked No. 1 this season in overall RPI — up from fifth last season — and strength of schedule.
Teams have won 79.7 percent of their nonconference games and nearly broke even against Top 25 opponents.
Jerry Palm of CBSSports .com and Joe Lunardi of ESPN each projected seven Big 12 teams into the NCAA Tournament this week. None was on the bubble, although that could change.
If those predictions hold true, the Big 12 would have two more teams in the tournament than last season and equal its all-time best total, set in 2009-10.
"Certainly we've had more talented players as a group," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "But in terms of quality teams, without question it's by far the best of my 16 years in the Big 12. It's really probably not even close."
Texas has contributed to the depth of the Big 12, bouncing back from missing the NCAA Tournament to start 4-2 in league play.
While Texas Tech won't make the NCAA Tournament, the Red Raiders are much more competitive under coach Tubby Smith. Last-place TCU gave No. 25 Oklahoma a scare Wednesday.
"With so many quality teams," Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said, "you've got to be ready to play."
Admittedly, it's in the best interest of coaches to lobby for their conference and talk about how every game is like a trek up Everest. A little politicking now might bear fruit come March.
At the same time, most Big 12 coaches sound as if they're in survival mode, clinging to the one game at a time cliché because they really don't want to look ahead.
Oklahoma State's Travis Ford recalled being quizzed about the strength of the Big 12 after his team's narrow loss Saturday at league-leading Kansas.
Rather than focus on RPI or head-to-head numbers, he kept coming back to the round-robin format.
"That's what makes it the toughest schedule in America, and what makes it the toughest league in America is we have to play everybody twice," Ford said.

Riding mountain bikes on the Kenai Refuge (or not) by John Morton
One February not too long ago, during a really nasty snow storm, I traveled down the Resurrection Trail in Chugach National Forest on skis while pulling a pulk. One of my companions was mushing a 3-dog sled. I was reflecting on that winter trip as I bounced and slid (and cursed) along the same trail on my mountain bike this past Labor Day weekend, but this time in a deluge of cold autumn rain driven by high winds off Turnagain Arm.
While skiing is also an allowed recreational activity on hiking trails in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, mountain biking isn't. This seeming disparity in the management of mountain bikes by different agencies got me thinking about the various modes of travel and recreation that are allowed on Federal lands on the Kenai Peninsula.
And as I peddled along with my friend, Andy, we ran into other trail users in the first hour or so out of Hope. Several parties were hunting, having been lucky enough to have drawn a permit to harvest caribou from the Kenai Mountains herd. A couple of guys were packing gear on an old mule; a father and son were hiking out after a day of scouting. But the only parties who had actually taken game (two caribou and a black bear) were riding bicycles!
So why the difference in bicycle management on the two Federal conservation units? It doesn't seem to make sense until you've gained a better appreciation of the laws and policies that guide our respective land management agencies.
The National Forest Management Act of 1976 requires that Chugach National Forest (among other national forests) be managed for a variety of uses on a sustained basis to ensure in perpetuity a continued supply of goods and services to the American people. The 2002 Land and Resource Management Plan calls for non-motorized use to predominate across the portion of the Chugach National Forest that lies on the Kenai Peninsula, with specific mention of mountain biking as a desirable recreational opportunity.
In contrast, the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is governed by the 1966 National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act as amended by the 1997 Refuge System Improvement Act. That's a mouthful.
But it established the Refuge System's mission: "To administer a national network of lands and waters for the conservation, management and, where appropriate, restoration of fish, wildlife, and plant resources and their habitats within the U.S. for the benefit of present and future generations of Americans." Furthermore, each refuge was tasked with managing to fulfill both the mission of the Refuge System and the purposes for which each individual refuge was established.
In the case of Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, our purposes were established by the 1980 Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) that directed the refuge to conserve fish and wildlife populations and habitats in their natural diversity. However, the refuge was also tasked with providing, in a manner compatible with our purposes, opportunities for fish and wildlife-oriented recreation.
A compatible use is defined as "a proposed or existing wildlife-dependent recreational use or any other use of a national wildlife refuge that, based on sound professional judgment, will not materially interfere with or detract from the fulfillment of the Refuge System mission or the purposes of the national wildlife refuge". The six priority public uses of the Refuge System are hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, wildlife photography, interpretation, and environmental education.
But there's one more legislative layer that defines how the refuge treats bicycles. Roughly 1.3 million acres, or two-thirds of the Kenai Refuge, were designated as wilderness by Congress. ANILCA amended the 1964 Wilderness Act so that the use of snowmachines, motorized boats, and fixed-wing aircraft are allowed "for traditional activities" in Alaskan wilderness but bicycles were not specifically authorized.
If this seems confusing, it is. But it's the law and nobody said it should be easy. The message is simply that different land agencies have different mandates.
And the short answer is that bicycling has been deemed compatible with refuge purposes on refuge roads otherwise open to licensed highway vehicles. In other words, you can ride your bike down Skilak Loop Road, the Swanson River and Swan Lake Roads, and on Mystery Creek Road in the fall when it's open for hunting. But don't ride your mountain bike on refuge trails.
The good news, and I say this as someone who really enjoys his outdoor recreation, is that the Kenai Peninsula offers something for everyone. If you can't find what you want on the Kenai Refuge, you ought to find your niche somewhere on Chugach National Forest, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska State Parks, Kenai Borough lands, and the municipal parks. Enjoy!

Open source business intelligence (BI) vendor Actuate has suggested that there is growing momentum among independent software vendors (ISVs) and software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers for its approach to "embeddable BI" solutions.
Available as an Eclipse Foundation top-level open source project, Actuate's BIRT is generally deployed alongside the company's commercial products for developers to incorporate a customizable, visually rich, data analysis and reporting environment into their software products, rather than develop their own.
Now boasting use by more than a million developers and having recently passed the 10 million downloads mark, the company says that BIRT is driving a number of new OEM accounts as ISVs and SaaS providers look to focus their resources and accelerate their speed to market.
Giving his own independent assessment of Actuate's OEM business, Open Source industry analyst James Governor of RedMonk said, "The economics of open source software and Business Intelligence are reshaping our view of traditional reporting and analysis. Actuate is helping drive this change through its support for the fast-growing BIRT platform, which is increasingly embeddable, with packaging and full support for OEMs."
Actuate's VP of OEM David Armstrong suggests that developers are attracted by his company's open source strategy and that they find value in being able to try out BIRT's capabilities for free, to complement or complete their own software, with the option to purchase fuller commercial capabilities plus training and support at a later date.
"Software vendors are faced with an increasingly competitive marketplace and a higher level of customer frustration with unwieldy or non-intuitive Business Intelligence and information applications. In addition, developing, supporting, and maintaining homegrown BI is unrealistic from a cost and time-to-market perspective, while standard solutions rarely deliver the flexibility that customers demand," said Armstrong.

Project Life fans all over the scrapbook world are brimming with excitement as Becky Higgins is unveiling new products for 2013 all week! So far, she's unveiled two new core kits for 2013, with additional unveilings expected later this week.
The first new core kit to be unveiled is Seafoam, designed by Elise Blaha Cripe. Sure to make fans of the trendy graphic design style happy, Seafoam is full of bold type set in designs of black, gray, gold, brown, and (of course) seafoam. There's trendy chevrons and hexagons galore, and the kit is much less feminine than the previous Project Life kits – a boon for moms of boys or those making albums for men.
The second new Project Life edition to be announced this week is called Olive, designed by Heather Bailey. This edition, in contrast to Seafoam's unisex look, is arguably even more feminine than any of the previous Project Life core kits. With Heather's signature bold florals paired with chevrons and polkadots, this edition is a bright and bold departure from the previous editions.
The two new kits will be shipping in November. Tomorrow (Thursday) Becky will be unveiling the long-awaited Baby editions of Project Life.

Rather than "just" translating documents, manuals, websites, etc into a wide spectrum of languages, we also offer an "all in one" service for added requirements such as subsequent marketing material, business transitions/localization. Ideally, we like to 'take care' of all business needs resulting from the need to get tasks translated or adapted in the first place. In other words: we will dive in where other translation/localization companies stop servicing!
In our start-up phase, we focus our service offerings to the following areas:
- Translating +
- Interpreting +
- Website localization +
- e-Learning +
- Multimedia and voice-overs +
The bottom line is, that we want to keep our service and target options open for the future and see where the business/market is carrying and leading us; both geographically as well as content.
Does this all sound very ambitious? - Well, yes, we are!
The industries we target are primarily:
- Marketing and Advertising
- Legal
- Financial
- Technology
- Manufacturing
- Health Care Services
- Government
As you see, this covers a wide range of industries and organizations.
However, they all have one thing in common: they require frequent and regular translation and localization services. (Localization = amending documents and styles to local taste and cultural specifications).
Our clients demand a SPEEDY and RELIABLE service executed to the HIGHEST QUALITY standard. Our pricing model is FAIR and COMPETITIVE.
Our clients operate on a national and international scale.
We see our logo being associated with:
- uniqueness
- professionalism
- quality
- reliability
- services beyond translations (hence the '+' in title)
From an appearance point of view, logo doesn't necessarily require to be embedded in the company name. Stand alone could work also meaning that we are open to either having the company name transformed into a logo or a logo to be introduced in addition to/with the company title.
We like it to be creative - but not crazy :-)
I don't want to outline much more... convince us with your design!
Existing website components/layout (see also attached snapshot):
- Website body text currently in Arial
- Website appears in a mix of white and gray (R,G,B: 165/165/165) both in font as well as in background areas.
- Some letters/words/tabs or scroll down menus are displayed in a darker shade of red (R,G,B: 204/0/0)
- Website also uses pictures/scenes from a smart business environment (i.e. lady in dark suit shaking hands or sharing a document,...)

Environmental Engineering Honor Society Established at Clarkson University
A Tau Chi Alpha Environmental Engineering Honor Society has been established at Clarkson University, creating the third active chapter in the United States.
"With the growth of environmental engineering undergraduate degree programs in the United States over the past 15 years, high-performing students have been looking for similar recognition common to traditional degree programs -- for example, chemical, civil, mechanical and electrical engineering -- all of which have national honor societies," says Prof. Stefan J. Grimberg, chair of Civil & Environmental Engineering.
Richard Pope of Malcolm Pirnie, the Water Division of ARCADIS, conducted the inaugural ceremony for the chapter and also presented a lecture on odor control in wastewater treatment plants.
Inductees consist of juniors, seniors, and graduate students in the top one-third of their class, as well as environmental engineering faculty nominees.
The inductees are:
Juniors Kristin E. Darby (civil engineering and environmental engineering) of Williston, Vt., Karen M. Dawson (political science, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering) of Voorheesville, N.Y., and Trisha L. Dupnock (chemistry and environmental engineering) of Binghamton, N.Y.
Seniors Katharine A. Angel (environmental engineering) of Troy, N.Y., Jared L. Best (environmental engineering) of Hague, N.Y., Chelsea A. Fanara (environmental engineering) of Snyder, N.Y., Jessica C. Hernandez (environmental engineering) of Candor, N.Y., Bradley R. Kelsey of Selden, N.Y., Heidi E. Lemieux (environmental engineering) of Georgia, Vt., Danielle C. Singer (environmental engineering) of Baldwinsville, N.Y., Jared D. Smith (environmental engineering) of Bay Shore, N.Y., and Sabra M. Warren (chemical engineering and environmental engineering) of Bloomfield, N.Y.
Graduate students Nichole M. Baldwin (environmental science & engineering M.S.) of Greenfield Center, N.Y., Michael A. Jahne (environmental science & engineering Ph.D.) of Cambridge, N.Y., and Chuan Tang (environmental science & engineering M.S.) of Guiyang, Guizhou, China.
Faculty members Prof. Stefan J. Grimberg, chair of Civil & Environmental Engineering and Prof. Susan E. Powers, the Jean '79 and Robert '79 Spence Professor in Sustainable Environmental Systems and associate director for sustainability in the Institute for a Sustainable Environment.
The officers-elect for next year are Trisha Dupnock as president, Karen Dawson as secretary, and Kristin Darby as treasurer.
A Tau Chi Alpha chapter at Clarkson University allows for environmental engineering students to be recognized for their educational and service related accomplishments within the field of environmental engineering. Graduate students who have completed one semester at Clarkson University and have shown a clear contribution to the field of environmental engineering are also deemed eligible for induction.
Along with student inductions, environmental engineering faculty are eligible for induction in order to foster an interaction between environmental engineering professionals and students at Clarkson University. Benefits to the students who are initiated include increased networking with professionals, other students, and alumni, and also a society to discuss current environmental engineering technologies.
The national chapter of Tau Chi Alpha was incorporated 1998 and is administrated and supported by the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists, and the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Sue Snyder retired from Penn State Lehigh Valley on June 28 after 27 years of service.
Snyder began her Penn State career in 1986 at was then known as the Allentown Campus as a part-time clerical support person working in what was then called "word-processing." In May 1988, she began working with Eugene Slaski in a new full-time clerical position as secretary to the academic officer. She was assigned to schedule summer school, and to find and interview part-time faculty. She has seen at least 25 faculty members through the process of promotion and tenure. Although some of the assignments have changed over time, Snyder remained in this role for the past 25 years, subsequently serving the chancellor, Ann Williams, and then the director of academic affairs, Ken Thigpen.
On campus Sue has been active in the Women's Commission, which helps raise money for student awards, by working on the Angel Tree for abused and neglected children, helping to create and market the campus cookbook, and organizing other activities, such as the annual basket raffle.
She was a key member of the Honors Convocation Committee, working closely with faculty, staff and students on this event over the years. For this and her many other contributions to the campus, Snyder received the Outstanding Staff Award in 2004.
Snyder graduated from Bridgeport High School, Bridgeport, W.Va. She completed her bachelor's degree in home economics and secretarial studies, graduating in 1969 from Fairmont State College in Fairmont, W.Va. She later took graduate courses from the University of West Virginia in Morgantown. Before coming to Penn State Allentown, she was an elementary school teacher in Bridgeport.
Snyder has served her community as a Sunday school teacher for the past 24 years, and also has served as Sunday school superintendent at St. John's United Church of Christ in Fogelsville. She has 14 years of service on the church board, including her current role as secretary of the board, and still is an elder in this congregation, previously serving as a deacon.
Snyder is also an avid seamstress and crafter, and loves gardening. She will, no doubt, continue these activities in her retirement. However, the campus "Avon lady" will be retiring at this time as well. Snyder looks forward to increased opportunities to be surrounded by her family, including her husband, Ron; her son, Steven; daughter-in-law, Shelly; and her grandchildren, Chase and Reese.

Special Issues of the J. Mex. Chem. Soc. in Honor of Dr. Silvia Bulbulian
Initially scientific research is performed individually due to the nature of human kind, and later developed institutionally. In Mexico it is necessary to engage the academic, governmental, industrial, and other organizations in order to promote and consolidate scientific and technological developments, and in this way understand social priorities. The energy issue is one of these national priorities; there are many possibilities being studied as alternative sources of energy in developed countries, such as hydrogen, wind, solar, and nuclear energies. The latter is the most used, damned and misunderstood as an alternative source of energy in many countries, including Mexico. How has our country prepared itself to respond to the energetic priorities which will be crucial in the near future without petrol? What has been done to provide alternative solutions for our society that could improve the hope of better living conditions?
Nuclear energy, used with responsibility and commitment, is and will be a partial solution to the energetic priorities in Mexico. This has been demonstrated in several countries of the world that have been using this source, which has provided a good deal of the solution to their energetic problem. Nuclear energy began in Mexico thanks to the decision of visionary people and their commitment with the development of our country. The construction of the Nuclear Center in Mexico began in 1964 and the consolidation of these efforts was realized when the activities of the now the National Institute for Nuclear Research (ININ) started.
One of the visionary people of this project in Mexico was Dr. Silvia Bulbulian, a Mexican pioneer in the development of nuclear chemistry. Silvia Bulbulian, who was born in Istanbul, Turkey, came to Mexico in 1930 at age of seven. She received her bachelor's degree in chemistry from Berzelius College, now Universidad Iberoamericana, and both her M.Sc. and Ph. D. in physics from the UNAM. In 1961, she entered the Mexican Nuclear Energy Commission, now the National Institute for Nuclear Research (ININ), where she initiated a long and brilliant career that was marked by important contributions to various fields, including nuclear chemistry, catalysis, and new materials. Her contributions are reflected in the more than one hundred scientific papers she has authored in national and international prestigious journals. Additionally, she has written several books as well as many articles for the general public.
Dr. Bulbulian has directed a number of bachelor, master and doctorate theses and has dedicated her life to the integration of groups dedicated to scientific research that now form part of the Chemistry Department of the ININ and other institutions. She has presented a great number of papers in different scientific conferences and has also organized scientific meetings like the International Symposia in Nuclear Chemistry, Radiochemistry and Radiation Chemistry.
Silvia Bulbulian has received different awards for her scientific work. In 1988 she was honored with the ININ Medal Carlos Graeff Fernández for her diffusion activities of nuclear energy, and in 1989 the ININ Medal Manuel Sandoval Vallarta for her achievements in scientific research. She has been a member of the Academia Mexicana de Ciencias since 1980 and Sistema Nacional de Investigadores since 1984.
Dr. Silvia Bulbulian is among the most admired, respected and talented nuclear chemistry pioneers in Mexico. She has earned a well deserved reputation for her scientific contributions to the field, and for the encouragement and formation of young researchers. After she left the ININ in 2007, there was a huge, empty space which will be very hard to fill. Those of us that have worked with her, have learned from her elegant and powerful insights into scientific problems, and have enjoyed her boundless energy and her great generosity, dedicate this issue to her as a token of our gratitude, publishing in it our recent research.

WCC Partners With Iron Workers
WCC and the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers have created an educational partnership with two components.
First, WCC hosts the international union's annual instructor training program. At least 700 people from around the U.S. and Canada attend the week-long event each July.
Second, WCC has partnered with Local 25 to provide online classes for its members that let them earn a certificate or associate degree in construction supervision. Earning these credentials can help union members expand their skills and advance in their careers.
WCC created the construction supervision degree exclusively for members of building trade unions. Members receive college credits for their apprenticeships that put them well on their way toward earning a degree.
More Training = Job Security
"Naturally, the greater number of courses and certifications you have earned, the more likely it is that there will always be jobs available to you. That means your education doesn't—and shouldn't—end once you complete your apprenticeship."—ironworkers.org
Conquer Your Fear
"Overcome the intimidation of college and taking classes; you can do it. Set a school schedule and stick to it."—Michael Bedell

Lansing, Mich.
Give It a Try
"I've never had a better staff to work with than the Washtenaw Community College mentors and educators. They made obtaining my college degree easier than I ever thought possible—you'd be crazy to pass up an opportunity like this. I wish all my Union Brothers and Sisters would give it a try."—Thomas Stewart
