They are product delivery models that dramatically reduce the cost, time, and resource requirements to test products and their purported value.
The risk to trial is mitigated and individual users can experiment and validate value in isolation of the broader enterprise.
More than ever, companies that focus on reducing the risk and resources required to trial their product or service are outperforming "heavy" footprint product companies.
The capital markets are highly efficient and dollars quickly flow to the highest yielding assets. IT markets, however, are characterized by high degrees of friction that artificially limit capital reallocation and flow.
Typical IT frictions include: required asset requisitions, proprietary interfaces, multi-department decision making, multi-level budget approvals, lack of connectivity, lack of resource and expertise, and behavioral inertia.
It truly pays to ask what are the exogenous barriers that artificially limit value testing and access.
Today's fastest growing companies seek to optimize two core things:
1) friction free adoption and
2) hard "value per unit" analysis; such as price per click, price per CPU, price per seat.
Capital flows to the highest yielding assets.
Once economic actors are able to validate the "value per unit," the dollars will flow:
- at a rate proportional to the relative increase in yield (value/cost) from product A to product B and
- at a rate inversely proportionate to the number of barriers that limit the free flow of capital to product B (the higher the # of frictions, the slower the reallocation to the economically advantaged unit of value).
- market are efficient and capital flows to the highest yield assets
- products that provide a higher yield (value/cost) will attract capital
- ex. cost per action, cost per seat, cost per CPU
- product delivery models that reduce frictions will see faster capital allocation
- efficient product test, validation, and delivery mechanisms stimulate capital flows
- equity value creation is a function of the amount of total capital at risk and the rate of reallocation from one class of assets to the next
- ex. total capital at risk = total ad spend market
- ex. "value unit" = cost per sale
- ex. "yield" comparison = $100 sale/$2 cost per click= 50x vs $100 sale/$15 per telesales call = 6.66x, or 7.5x differential in yield
- ex. "friction" = JavaScript implementation of AdSense vs setting up telesales trial
- the targeted pool of capital
- the economic unit of value in question
- the differential in yield from model A to model B per given unit of value
- barriers to capital reallocation from model A to model B
- barriers that protect model B from replication

BEIRUT, Lebanon, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Religious freedom is "indispensable for peace" and forgiveness key to reconciliation, Pope Benedict XVI said in Lebanon Saturday.
Benedict was in Lebanon as part of his three-day visit to the Middle East.
"Religious freedom has a social and political dimension, which is indispensable for peace," the pope said.
When he arrived in Lebanon Friday, the pontiff said he came to the region as "pilgrim of peace," Voice of America reported.
His visit came as anti-American protests spread across the region over a film produced in the United States denigrating the Prophet Muhammad.
People cheered Saturday as the papal motorcade went to the presidential palace, where President Michel Suleiman greeted the pope, The (Beirut) Daily Star said.
Benedict said only by "rejecting revenge, acknowledging one's faults, accepting apologies without demanding them, and, not least, forgiveness ... can there be growth in understanding and harmony between cultures and religions."
He criticized religious fundamentalism as a "falsification of religion."
Suleiman said Christians were key in achieving democracy, the Star reported.
"Democracy ... cannot be achieved if there is no involvement of the Christian component," Suleiman said.
Suleiman and Pope Benedict planted a cedar tree at the palace.

With a $31 billion swipe of its virtual debit card, Exxon Mobil Corp. has started changing decades-old conventional wisdom in Congress that accessing the ocean of natural gas trapped under U.S. soil is merely a pipe dream.
Natural gas is the cleanest of the fossil fuels, and electric utilities that burn it to generate electricity belch out half the amount of carbon dioxide emissions they produce when when they burn coal. Exxon's decision in December to purchase Fort Worth, Texas-based XTO Energy, one of the nation's largest gas producers, could mark a dramatic shift in the way Washington understands domestic energy supply. It also underscores the role that gas is likely to play in cutting industrial emissions, in the United States and in fast-growing developing countries such as China and India.
"The industry is about a year, or maybe two years, ahead of Washington in understanding that this ability to almost manufacture gas from shale underneath a huge part of the United States and Canada is a revolutionary development in energy," Deutsche Bank's chief energy economist, Adam Sieminski, told the National Economists Club in Washington last month.
Congress has long been undecided about where natural gas should fit into the energy-supply pie. Coal has dominated as a fuel source for electricity generators. More than 100 nuclear plants supply about 20 percent of U.S. power, and natural gas supplies about 20 percent.
Industry estimates and policymakers' assumptions about gas supply and its role in cleaning the air shift decade to decade. At the end of the 1970s and into the 1980s, gas was considered a precious commodity with a short, 10-year domestic supply. But starting in the late 1990s and through much of the past decade, utilities built gas-burning power plants to the exclusion of coal-fired plants to help them comply with clean-air mandates.
North American gas supply and demand changes depending on the weather, gas storage, U.S. industrial demand and the impact of hurricanes on Gulf Coast drilling rigs. Gas prices skyrocketed after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, and since then prices have been a roller coaster for producers and consumers. In the past year, the economic recession slashed consumption and kept household gas and electric bills relatively low.
In Congress, the long memory of those price swings has kept the skeptics skeptical and the industry largely on the sidelines during the ongoing climate debate.
At a Senate hearing in August, Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio) tore into the chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Jon Wellinghoff, for suggesting that gas, in combination with renewable resources and energy efficiency, could be a near-term bridge until zero-carbon technology is widely deployed.
"We encouraged our electricity to go to natural gas; our gas prices went up to the top," Voinovich said, leaning into the microphone to get his point across. "We lost millions of jobs in this country because of high natural gas costs. When we did that policy, we didn't pay attention to the impact it would have on our economy."
Deal could give Exxon new clout on climate policy
The $31 billion Exxon-XTO all-stock deal still has to jump some regulatory hurdles. If the merger becomes real, Exxon will be the largest natural gas producer in the country, controlling large chunks of acreage in the most promising onshore gas fields in the United States. Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas and the Appalachian regions of Pennsylvania and New York are the epicenter of shale gas, coalbed methane and tight-sand gas formations.
Because natural gas, not oil, is so critical to power generation, Exxon's voice will carry weight it perhaps never did before in the battle over climate policy. Exxon has openly opposed proposals to adopt a cap-and-trade program that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels by making it expensive for industrial plants and utilities to use high-carbon fossil fuels.
"It gives them a lot more reason to be involved in the U.S. policy discussion," said Andrew Logan, director of the oil program at Ceres, a Boston-based coalition of institutional investors and environmental groups. "It doesn't necessarily represent a strategic shift in its approach to environmental issues or climate change."
Ceres has pressed Exxon to reveal more to shareholders about the long-term financial risks it faces due to climate change and government policies aimed at targeting oil consumption. Logan said investor activists have filed those resolutions again, hoping Exxon's board will heed their concerns and open up the dialogue.
Exxon has a fraught relationship with Congress. In 2008, when world oil prices climbed to $147 a barrel and its earnings soared, Exxon became a punching bag for populist Democrats and Republicans. For much of the past decade, perceptions that the company is run by climate skeptics who are hostile to any policy prescription aimed at reducing industrial emissions put Exxon on the enemies lists of some on Capitol Hill. For others, Exxon is the corporate name behind "foreign oil" because of its headstrong push, with U.S. backing, into hostile areas of the world in search of oil.
Exxon has been more outspoken about climate change under CEO Rex Tillerson, who has been less willing than his predecessor, Lee Raymond, to completely dismiss it as a policy challenge. Still, the company's precise views on the issue are hazy to both lawmakers and investor activists who have pressed Exxon for more clarity.
Consider this exchange from a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing last week, where Tillerson testified about the Exxon-XTO merger and answered questions about Exxon's position on climate and energy use: Exxon scientists believe the climate is changing, Tillerson said, and one contributing factor is industrial greenhouse gases. But, he continued, "It is a scientific challenge. We view it as a risk-management problem."
"Our view for some time has been, first and foremost, let's continue to support the scientific investigation of what is one of the most complicated areas of science that people are studying today, and that is climate," Tillerson said. "We support the scientific advancement of understanding this issue."
Climate models, he asserted during the hearing, are inconclusive.
Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) replied, "I still get letters from constituents saying humans are not involved in changing the climate. I'm going to report back to them that the leader of the largest energy company in the United States believes that we are one contributing factor to climate change. I hope they'll listen to that."
Energy's new '800-pound gorilla'
"Exxon has minimal investments in non-fossil fuel energy, and it has played a negative role historically in the climate debate," said Ceres' Logan. "There's real concern about the company's strategy."
Exxon is expanding its gas drilling, Logan said, but doubling down in the Canadian oil sands, where a significant percentage of Exxon's new oil reserves are located. Environmental groups have criticized Exxon and the parade of oil companies developing Alberta's fields for bankrolling a massively dirty, greenhouse gas-heavy and water-intensive oil project. Operators there say it will provide a large amount of oil to the United States.
Exxon has a majority stake in one of Canada's largest oil companies, Imperial Oil, which has stakes in three major oil sands projects. According to a 2008 financial statement, Imperial's Cold Lake field is the largest of its kind in the world.
Green Century Funds, a Boston-based group, has filed a stockholder resolution calling on Exxon to report on the long-term financial risks associated with the "significant environmental, social and economic challenges associated with the oil sands." It will be the first resolution addressing the oil sands if Exxon includes it as part of the corporate proxy statement put before shareholders at its general meeting this spring.
The company's new role in the North American natural gas market isn't all bad, Logan said. "The potential for applying that in innovative ways is very real," he said. "This purchase has implications in terms of global energy use."
Exxon is a disciplined operator, Logan said, and could raise the bar for environmental stewardship in shale and tight-sands gas fields where public concern about groundwater contamination has emerged as a potential liability for smaller producers.
"Their entrance also brings in a new 800-pound gorilla," Logan said. Exxon might raise the bar on a field-by-field basis, but it has lobbying heft that could stifle attempts in Congress to impose a broad set of rules on hydraulic fracturing, the process of using some combination of chemicals, water and sand to blast through rock and release trapped natural gas.
Tillerson and XTO Energy CEO Bob Simpson told the congressional panel they could support a federal requirement that producers disclose those chemicals. But they said additional U.S. EPA regulation -- or an outright ban on the process to protect drinking water -- would bring a quick and certain end to unconventional gas development in the United States. Gas producers that use the technique the industry refers to as "fracking" and use horizontal drilling to extend the reach of gas rigs maintain the process is safe and poses no threat to nearby water tables.
Questions have been raised by environmental and local groups. New York officials and communities that sit on top of the Marcellus Shale in the northern part of the state contend that any leakage of harmful chemicals out of pipes drilled into gas formations would contaminate water used by millions in the region and in New York City.
People in Appalachian regions of Pennsylvania, where much of the giant Marcellus Shale gas formation resides, have emphasized the job growth and real estate boom that has come with the land rush by energy companies and gas drilling.
Supply for natural gas exists, but what about demand?
Deutsche Bank's Sieminski has been among the more outspoken energy economists pushing for policies that promote gas as a short-term "bridge fuel" used by electric utilities to replace coal as the country develops low- or zero-carbon electricity sources.
Produce the nation's shale gas and shut down the 80 highest-polluting coal plants, he told his colleagues at the National Economists Club. What's the politics of that?
"To get the climate bill passed, they have to get the coal-state senators to go along, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois," he said. "It turns out that a lot of the shale gas formations are under the same states. If the politicians wake up and see there's at least as many jobs in natural gas as there are in mining, then you might actually have something."
Joseph Stanislaw, a senior energy adviser for Deloitte & Touche, said Exxon's decision to carve out a substantial space in the U.S. gas market should boost confidence in Congress that industry claims that there is a 100-year supply under the continental United States aren't bluster.
"How it plays out on Capitol Hill, who knows? It's a real question mark," Stanislaw said. "But one has to have the confidence that the resources can be developed."
Small, independent gas producers have expanded into unconventional gas effectively and efficiently, he said. But the Exxon-XTO combination sends a political signal about the reality of the expansion. "It gives Congress confidence it can actually happen," Stanislaw said.
"The demand side is the real challenge. Can the capacity to use gas be developed, and will it be developed?"
Exxon and the other members of Big Oil club -- the investor-owned global oil and gas giants such as BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Shell -- do their best to deflect criticism from environmental and investor-advocacy groups that they haven't diversified their business portfolios enough and should pour money into alternative fuels and clean energy technology. Exxon has been vilified the most.
Stanislaw said most major oil companies are expanding investments in biofuels, natural gas and carbon capture and sequestration. There is no common approach among the majors for integrating more alternative energy into their portfolios, but he said the ability to use the billions of dollars in infrastructure in place for fossil fuel development will dictate their choices for decades. Exxon is more likely to find a way to develop technology that strips carbon dioxide emissions out of oil and gas than it is to shift to wind or solar power.
"The one thing they can do is mobilize resources," he said. "They're all trying to do it within their own corporate model in a way that doesn't jeopardize their ability to act in the future."
Still, Stanislaw talked about their financial force. "They can scale fast," he said. Big Oil isn't the only group of companies that can transform the energy landscape, "but this is a huge economic force that will have tremendous momentum."
For its part, Exxon has already shaken up the debate in gas industry circles. At the Jan. 20 House hearing, Tillerson said using gas to produce baseload electricity is "a lot more efficient use of the gas" than using compressed natural gas to replace Exxon's oil in trucks and buses. The idea that power generation is a good use of gas raises the ire of gas utilities and gas-heavy industries such as chemical makers that worry about gas prices shooting through the roof if power companies use too much of the supply.
Some analysts have suggested that the Exxon-XTO deal is a rather straightforward acknowledgment by Exxon that it has limited capacity to increase oil production in areas of Africa, Asia and the Middle East where unstable and unpredictable governments call the shots and state-run oil companies get first dibs on local resources.
Perhaps to that end, Tillerson expressed unfettered optimism about the future of gas, and he used the language of climate politics to explain the merger. "Already, policies [are] in place in much of the world, in European countries and elsewhere, that do put a price on carbon, and that does shift you toward natural gas," he said.

How Tight Is a Passive House? I love your magazine and Web site. You inform me about cutting edge technology for advising, building, and renovating—backed up by tests and studies—it isn't guessing. That is why I was troubled by your recent sidebar on a Passive House ("First U.S. Retrofit to Passive House Standards," Nov/Dec '08, p. 25). Your standards for an airtight house are minimal at 0.6 ACH. For EarthCraft and Energy Star standards we are looking for 0.6 ACH (natural) in a renovation. We are looking for 0.35 ACH in a new house. An ACH of 0.6 in a house is not tight by Energy Star standards or by me for new housing. I do have an engineering degree, but I am recognized for my common sense in building applications to obtain cost-effective energy efficiency. I say this because I don't want you to think I am just finding fault with numbers. Keep up the good work. Bob Congdon Hampton Roads, Virginia Author and architect Nabih Tahan replies: I think that you are confusing natural airtightness—ACH (nat)—with airtightness under pressure. The Passive House requirement is 0.6 air changes per ...

There are a lot of compact (Hausdorff) groups, whereas every compact field is finite. What about rings? Is there a classification theorem for compact rings? If you take a cofiltered limit of finite rings, you get a compact ring; for example, the $p$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ are obtained as a limit of $$ \cdots \twoheadrightarrow \mathbb{Z}/p^{n+1}\mathbb{Z} \twoheadrightarrow \mathbb{Z}/p^n\mathbb{Z}\twoheadrightarrow \cdots \twoheadrightarrow \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}\twoheadrightarrow 0. $$ Can every compact ring be obtained as a cofiltered limit of finite rings?
For a counterexample, a compact ring that is not totally disconnected would suffice. In the other direction, proving that such a ring has to be totally disconnected wouldn't suffice a priori: It would show the the additive group is profinite, but not that the ring is a cofiltered limit of rings.
Remark: By "compact," I consistently mean "compact Hausdorff."

INDIANAPOLIS – The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) released the second Southeast Region rankings poll and have listed the Georgia College women's basketball team at No. 8. The rankings determine which teams get invited to the Division II National Tournament and they will continue to get updated as the March tournament approaches.
Currently eight teams from each region get invited with conference tournament winners receiving an automatic bid, while five other at-large teams are also selected based on the regional rankings. The last rankings prior to the national tournament will determine the at-large selections.
The Southeast Region is represented by the Peach Belt Conference (PBC), South Atlantic Conference (SAC) and the Conference Carolinas (CC). Each conference tournament champion from the PBC, SAC, and CC plus five at-large teams selected from the Southeast Region poll will compete for the NCAA Division II National Championship along with three conference winners and five at-large teams from seven other regions.
In addition to the Southeast Region, the other seven regions include the Midwest, South, East, Central, South Central, West and Atlantic.
The Bobcats next take to the court Saturday, March 1 at Armstrong Atlantic State University for the regular-season finale set for a 1:30 p.m. tipoff. The Pirates are currently ranked one spot ahead of the Bobcats in the Southeast Region Poll at No. 7. A Georgia College win in Savannah, Ga. this weekend may provide a good opportunity for the Bobcats to move up in the next poll.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level.

In the Andes
December 01, 2011
December 01, 2011
Anyone interested in learning more about the study abroad experience Alex Benitez had in Peru during the fall 2011 semester has to look no further than YouTube.
Benitez has posted five videos to the popular video-sharing website under the username "alexintheandes." The videos document everything from her home-stay family to her experiences visiting Machu Picchu and swimming with dolphins in the Amazon.
Benitez is one of four Southwestern students who were able to study abroad in 2011 thanks to scholarships from the Benjamin Gilman International Scholarship program, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and administered by the Institute of International Education. Competition for the scholarships is intense.
All scholarship recipients are required to do a follow-up project that promotes study abroad. Benitez said she decided to make the videos as her project.
"I really wanted to do something creative and fun that would allow me to learn something new since I've never done any sort of video before," Benitez said. "I thought since I was going abroad it was probably the appropriate time to push my boundaries and step out of my comfort zone."
Benitez spent the fall semester in Cuzco, where she was in a program that focused on indigenous peoples and globalization. She spent the morning in language classes – including classes on the native language known as Quechua – and spent the afternoons doing fieldwork.
"This experience has allowed me to better understand myself and the things that are out there in the world," said Benitez, who is a junior international studies major. "It has influenced my career plans because with this new understanding, I can really say that I would be interested in working with Latin American countries, and maybe even living in one someday."
Two students who received Gilman scholarships for the spring 2011 semester gave a presentation to the campus community in November.
Adriana Saad, a senior international studies and Spanish double major, used her scholarship to study in Ecuador. She spent the first half of the semester studying public health in the capital city of Quito through a program offered by the University of Minnesota and spent the second half of the semester doing an internship at a hospital in Riobamba, Ecuador, that has sections where both traditional and alternative medicine are practiced. She plans to do her capstone project on what she observed at the hospital.
Saad said the semester provided her with her first opportunity to really speak the Spanish she had been studying since 6th grade.
"I forced myself to use the language," she said. "Now I feel really comfortable talking in Spanish."
Daisy Mateus, a senior Latin American Studies major, used her scholarship to study in Spain. She spent the semester studying at the University of Santiago de Compostela, which is located in a region in the north of Spain known as Galicia. She took five classes while she was there − three in history and two on Spanish philology.
Mateus stayed in a residence hall on the campus where she met students from all over the world. She and her new friends travelled all over Spain, and to other countries in Europe such as Portugal and France.
After graduating from Southwestern, Mateus hopes to attend law school and pursue a career as an immigration lawyer. She, Benitez and Saad are all members of Kappa Delta Chi, a new social sorority at Southwestern that focuses on service with the Latina/o community.

FALL RIVER, Mass. - A lawyer for Aaron Hernandez says a dispute over records the defense had sought from the New England Patriots has been resolved, though it's unclear whether the documents were turned over.
Hernandez attorney Michael Fee said Tuesday in Fall River Superior Court the matter has been resolved. A separate hearing before a different judge had been scheduled for the afternoon. The defense refused to comment outside court.
The Patriots had agreed to turn over 317 pages of personnel records but objected to producing scouting reports and a psychological assessment.
The Patriots' attorney referred questions to a team spokeswoman, who had no comment.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to killing Odin Lloyd, whose body was found in June 2013 near Hernandez's North Attleborough home.
A judge scheduled jury selection for Jan. 9.

My husband and I love to support local entertainment so we bought tickets a few weeks ago to see a community play across town this past Saturday night. The weather outside was truly frightful with heavy rain and winds, but we decided we would venture out anyway.
We arrived at this lovely facility which was very festive. A company was having a Christmas party in one of the ballrooms so the smell of food combined with the sound of a DJ playing music added to the spirit of the season.
The holiday classic tale "A Christmas Carol" is one of our favorites. This production was really enjoyable as the actors put a different spin on the presentation with a witty narrator and delightful humor interwoven.
At the end of the production everyone was on their feet clapping. The encore was the audience singing (with the encouragement of the cast members) a rousing chorus of "Joy to the World!"
Dickens included so many lessons in this timeless story and the more I thought about it the more I realized what a master of allegory Dickens was. First, there's the surface of the story. You know, the characters and plot and all that obvious stuff. Then there's the symbolic level, or the deeper meaning that all the jazz on the surface represents.
- Scrooge feels sorrow and remorse when the spirit showed him how poorly he treated others. For the first time in his life he saw himself for who he really was ~ a humbling moment in anyone's life.
- Scrooge's bitterness had roots in his early life but he allowed it to devour him. I once read an analogy and it went something like ~ Bitterness is like swallowing a poisonous pill and expecting someone else to die when in reality the victim is ourselves.
- Initially Scrooge wants nothing to do with the three spirits. But eventually he does begin to listen to them and through his listening he begins to learn and move forward. We also have the potential to grow and change in ways that not only enrich us, but those around us as well ~ just like Scrooge ~ if we take the time to listen and learn.
- The spirit showed Scrooge that he wasted his life obtaining power and money and this will one day come to an end. It is important for us to bear in mind that our lives will also end one day and we still have time to change. Living with the end in mind might help us as it did Scrooge.
- There is joy in change. Scrooge realized he had a second chance at life. For the first time in a long time, through his jubilation, he began to connect to the real world again. He asked forgiveness from the solicitors he refused to give money to the day before and made restitution. He spread unexpected joy and generosity to others. It is interesting to note that when Scrooge awoke that Christmas morning literally nothing had changed in his circumstance. The only thing that DID change was his heart.
We may think it is too late to change, but in reality the best time is now ~ a lesson Ebenezer Scrooge teaches us well every Christmas.

England stretched their lead to 231 on day three of the third Test against the West Indies, but not before further failures for openers Rory Burns and Keaton Jennings.
Building on Mark Wood's inspired display of pace bowling, England resumed 142 ahead with all 10 wickets intact and reached lunch on 108 for two.
Hopes of a sturdy opening stand disappeared instantly, Burns gently flicking Keemo Paul's first ball of the day to square leg. That lowered his average to exactly 25 from six Test appearances, though he is likely to get further chances at home in the summer.
The same is probably not true of Jennings, who clung on for 99 balls and 23 runs but never looked at ease and was ultimately bowled in ugly, slightly unfortunate fashion after Alzarri Joseph's delivery took a detour off his thigh paid.
He averages 0.19 more than Burns from 17 caps, and has two centuries to his name, but at present he does not have the confidence or tempo to continue at this level.
The West Indies should also have sent the third member of England's top three back cheaply but Joe Denly was badly dropped on 12, fending Shannon Gabriel to third slip off the shoulder of the bat only for Shimron Hetmyer to bungle the chance.
Denly began to settle after that, unfurling a series of confident drives and picking up six boundaries as he reached 45 not out in 68 deliveries.
He was joined by captain Joe Root, who has also had a rough series but looked in good rhythm for his 18 not out at the break.
The hosts were one bowler down for most of the session, Paul departing on a stretcher after straining his right quadricep chasing a Denly cover drive.

55-acre vegetation fire west of Truckee contained
Special to the Sun
SMARTSVILLE, Calif. — Airtanker planes and ground crews have contained an estimated 55-acre vegetation blaze in the Sierra foothills that collaborating fire agencies battled for about six hours, according a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesperson.
"There is a line around the fire to prevent its forward spread," said Lynne Tolmachoff, a Cal Fire spokeswoman. "When we call it controlled, that is when fire crews are no longer working on it."
The fire was first reported just before 10 a.m. at 15 acres, but by 1 p.m. the inferno had grown to 55 acres, Tolmachoff said. A final acre-damage had not been counted at the time of this report.
Smartsville is located about an hour and 15 minutes west of Truckee.
While no evacuations were confirmed by Cal Fire, Tolmachoff said that two structures were threatened by the blaze. A freelance photographer, Annita Kasparian, told The Union that animals from a ranch along Hammonton-Smartsville Road had been evacuated. She said the ranch belonged to a Dennis and Cammy Jacobson.
"The issues were having is right now the temperatures have come up since this started and we are seeing some winds right now," Tolmachoff said earlier in the day amid the batle with the blaze.
As the fire spread from McGanney Lane all the way to Highway 20, the California Department of Transportation initially closed that road in both directions at Hammonton-Smartsville Road, but by the afternoon, Tolmachoff said that the eastbound lane had been reopened under the guidance of traffic control, while westbound traffic was being diverted through Smartsville. Cal Trans indicated that the traffic control could last until around 8 p.m.
"They are doing traffic control with a lead car," Tolmachoff said. "People are getting through, but there is a good chance they will get delayed going through there."
The cause of the fire was not immediately known, but Tolmachoff said the investigation will be ongoing.
Cal Fire enlisted the help of aerial fire fighting methods as well as neighboring fire fighting agencies from Marysville, Smartsville, Penn Valley, Linda, Nevada County Consolidated and a water tender from Beale Air Force Base, Tolmachoff said.
Christopher Rosacker is a reporter for The Union, the Sun's sister paper in Grass Valley and Nevada City.

If a group of 12-year-old boys wanted to make a movie in their backyard, there's a good chance it might end up something like Gangster Squad. Sure, it wouldn't have the flashy production design and big names, but it would definitely share the same adolescent mindset. With its tough talk and bang-bang violence and pretty dames, Gangster Squad is, in reality, the byproduct of a bunch of Hollywood stars deciding to play dress-up and pretend they're in one of those great old gangster movies that came out way before they were born. Gangster Squad never stops reminding you that everyone in it thinks it's awesome that they're making it. You won't feel the same awe watching it.
The movie is based on the recent book by journalist Paul Lieberman, which detailed the efforts of a group of Los Angeles police detectives who fought powerful gangster Mickey Cohen during the 1940s and '50s. In the film, that group is led by Sgt. O'Mara (Josh Brolin), who recruits a team of men who will work outside the law to dismantle Cohen's (Sean Penn) operation. Each of O'Mara's men has his own important trait/quirk so we can tell them apart: There's the hunky rebel (Ryan Gosling); the nerdy technician (Giovanni Ribisi); the black dude (Anthony Mackie); and the guy who looks like Robert Patrick with a funny handlebar mustache (Robert Patrick). And, to make things a little more interesting, there is of course a love interest, a doll named Grace (Emma Stone) who's Cohen's girl but soon becomes involved with Gosling.
It's easy to see why everyone involved would want to be a part of Gangster Squad. You get to wear snazzy duds, smoke, and project an air of blasé coolness. (And, in Penn's case, you also get to ham it up with relish.) Drunk on its mid-century L.A. atmosphere and hard-boiled grit, Gangster Squad has plenty of superficial pleasures. Everybody and everything looks great, the cast is all game (although Stone tries a little too hard to play a bombshell), and if you're a sucker like me for Southern California noir like Chinatown or Kiss Me Deadly, the movie will hit your soft spot.
The problem, though, is that while Gangster Squad has all the period details right, the movie doesn't populate that decor with much in the way of interesting characters or plot points. It's not just the Ocean's Eleven-like assembly of the so-called gangster squad that's familiar: It's the way the movie keeps harking back to earlier, better films without offering much of a twist on any of them. The cops-and-cons stuff is all cliché, and even Penn's over-the-top Cohen can't help but recall Robert De Niro's equally oversized turn as Al Capone in The Untouchables. (The one saving grace is how Penn portrays Cohen as a painfully insecure fool. Cohen's more disturbing because he doesn't seem all that evil: As played by Penn, he's just the world's meanest spoiled brat.)
The movie has two modestly intriguing ideas—one that sorta, kinda works and one that gets more annoying the more you think about it. The first is that O'Mara and some of his men have joined the LAPD straight out of serving in World War II, in part because they're completely unable to function in the normal world after killing on the battlefield. Director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, 30 Minutes or Less) gets this point across best through Brolin's performance as O'Mara, who's so closed off from the loving, pregnant wife he has at home that he can't stop putting himself into danger in a misguided belief that he's keeping her safe. Gangster Squad argues that the squad in some ways needs Cohen: As violent and dangerous as he is, at least he provides these guys with a recognizable black-and-white villain that can make their transition from the madness of war a little more seamless.
But that brings us to the other idea—the one that really fails—which is the notion that because this squad operated outside the boundaries of the law, they became as bad as the criminals they went after. In a nuanced drama like Zero Dark Thirty, such moral complexity creates a forum for a thoughtful conversation. But in the shallow dress-up of Gangster Squad, it's mostly just lip service used to rationalize what otherwise is a pretty flamboyantly reckless salute to getting justice by any means necessary. Apparently, Lieberman's book is more interested in examining that fine line between law and disorder, but Fleischer just wants to revel in the tommy-gun carnage while very occasionally reminding us that maybe this isn't the sort of thing we should be encouraging in those sworn to protect us.
Frankly, I wish Gangster Squad had just gone all the way and embraced its amoral outlook: Some of the movie's best moments are when it explodes into mindless, vindictive violence. At least then Gangster Squad wouldn't feel so apologetic about its shoot-'em-up spirit. (You may remember that the movie was recut and its release date pushed back after the Aurora shooting.) Mindless violence isn't the worst thing in the world. Mindless violence with dull characters, a threadbare story and a halfhearted, unpersuasive stab at a conscience? Then we've got real problems.

Precautions to Take Before Starting Biologics
Tips for reducing the risk of harmful infections.
While biologic medications have revolutionized the treatment of many kinds of arthritis, like all drugs, in addition to their benefits, they come with new risks. Biologic drugs work by suppressing the immune system, an action that can open the door for infections.
We asked Arthritis Today Medical Advisory Board member Robert Shaw, MD, an instructor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University and a practicing rheumatologist, what precautions people with arthritis should take before starting a biologic medication. Here is his checklist:
1) Have a skin or blood test for tuberculosis, or TB.
Experts estimate that 90 percent of people who are infected with tuberculosis, which can cause a deadly infection, don't know it because the bacteria can lie dormant in the body for years. Taking medications that suppress the immune increases the risk that the infection will become active.
2) If you need any live virus vaccines, get them one to three months before starting biologics.
Flu vaccine injections are dead viruses and can be given anytime. But any live virus vaccine needs to be given one to three months before starting immunosuppressant drugs. Discuss how to handle live virus vaccines with your doctor, including:
• Flu Mist vaccine, which comes in nasal form
• Shingles vaccine
• Measles, mumps and rubella vaccines
• Typhoid, varicella, small pox and yellow fever vaccines for people who need to travel
3) Finish antibiotics before starting a biologic.
Anyone with any infection or fever who is on antibiotics should not start a biologic until the infection and fever have passed because your immune system is impaired.
4) Wait if you are going in for surgery.
Dr. Shaw says patients going in for surgery should hold off on biologics like etanercept (Enbrel) and adalimumab (Humira) for two weeks before surgery and they should hold off on infliximab (Remicade) and abatacept (Orencia) for four weeks before surgery. Additionally, patients should not start or restart the biologics until after their sutures or staples are removed and there is no sign of infection because biologics will make it harder to heal.
5) Get scanned before you take rituximab (Rituxan).
Dr. Shaw says patients should have a Hepatitis B scan before going on Rituxan because the drug impairs immune system cells called B cells and that predisposes people to hepatitis. If you are harboring the Hepatitis B virus, it will make you worse.

Doubtful forecast for GOP takeover
Even Republicans are saying it: The GOP Senate takeover they all thought was almost a sure thing a year ago now looks like a coin flip at best.
POLITICO surveyed more than a dozen top Republican strategists last week to gauge the party's outlook for the upper chamber coming out of the conventions and into the election home stretch. None called the task impossible, but most said the path to the Senate majority is much narrower than even a few months ago.
Story Continued Below
The diminished mood is a product of unforeseen events — like Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe's surprise retirement — and underwhelming candidates.
North Dakota and Montana, once thought to be fairly easy pickups for Republicans, have remained stubbornly close, thanks to weaker-than-expected GOP contenders and strong Democratic campaigns. Missouri's been moved out of the sure-win column after Todd Akin's debacle. And the GOP's once-high hopes in New Mexico and Hawaii are fading as the party confronts daunting blue-state demographics.
It's a marked change from the beginning of the cycle, when most GOP operatives were brimming with confidence about netting the four seats needed to wrest power from Democrats. The new, hard reality is that the party's hopes hinge on come-from-behind wins in razor-close battleground races in Florida, Ohio and Virginia.
"Objectively, call it 50-50," said longtime Washington power broker Charlie Black, who is confident about a three-seat gain but not sold that the party can reach four.
"Can we get there? I don't know. Might be tough," said Republican ad maven Doug McAuliffe, who counts Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as a client.
"It's no given Republicans take the Senate back," offered American Majority President Ned Ryun. "It's still realistic, … but it's not a done deal or slam dunk."
Club for Growth President Chris Chocola pegged his party's chances at a takeover as "slightly probable." American Conservative Union Chairman Al Cardenas acknowledged that Snowe's retirement and the controversy that's enveloped Akin in Missouri has curbed his optimism.
"We've had two changes that have raised the bar a bit," conceded the former Florida GOP chairman.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, a Washington-based GOP operative who has his hands in several races, offered a dimmer view.
"Republicans are undeniably in a worse spot than a few months ago," he said. Former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle and former New Mexico Rep. Heather Wilson haven't panned out, and former North Dakota Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp has exceeded expectations, the strategist added.
"Six months ago, I'd say Republicans ended up with a 2-seat majority. Now, I'd say dead even," he said.
The same three battleground states poised to determine the presidency — Virginia, Ohio and Florida — are likely to tip control of the upper chamber. And like the race for the White House, Republicans trail — albeit by a smidgen — in all three.

OK, all you oven freaks out there — particularly those based in Colorado — prepare to foam at the mouth. There's a new Neapolitan pizzeria gearing up in Boulder.

Self-described as "a contemporary pizzeria inspired by the traditional pizzerias of Napoli," Locale will be home to the first Ferrara oven in the state. Target opening date, via their Facebook page: "Fingers crossed for Tuesday night." [via Caleb Schiff]

A perfect cup of tea is an elusive sort of beast. Not only are there a host of variables involved in producing the stuff, but then you've got to take that dried leaf and add water, a process that opens another can of worms.
One of the variables you might not have given much thought to is slope direction, or to be more specific, the direction in which tea plants face while they're sprouting those little tea leaves. Imen at Tea Obsession briefly discoursed upon this very topic a little while back.
And then, of course, tea ain't much without water. Or at the very least it's kind of tough to get down. T Ching recently published some of James Norwood Pratt's thoughts on the importance of selecting the right water, not to mention this brief piece in which he mused upon the topic of water temperature.
On a similar note, here are some thoughts from Imperial Tea Court's Roy Fong on the ever critical question of how long tea should be steeped. One of the most important points he brings up, "tea is not an exact science and shouldn't be treated as such." Indeed.

Who knew that such a little thing like tea plant direction makes such a difference? Fascinating.

Next year, months after Iron Man 3 kicks off the summer movie season of 2013, Thor 2 will test the waters as the first ever fall release for Marvel Studios. As we learned not long ago, Captain America 2 will also serve as test, representing the first ever spring release for Marvel Studios the following year.
Why the move away from key summer release dates? Marvel Studios and The Avengers team have successfully established themselves among mainstream pop culture so no longer does Marvel need to forcefully keep films close together to maintain buzz through cross-marketing as we saw with Captain America and Thor last summer. The other big reason is that it allows for more than two films per year depending on the need...
With Marvel Studios shooting one film at a time (for the most part), we have Iron Man 3 already underway, Thor 2 beginning to shoot in August and Captain America 2 after that at the end of the year. Sometime next year will see Guardians of the Galaxy enter production for what was reportedly going to be one of Marvel Studios two previously claimed summer 2014 slots, specifically May 16, 2014 (two weeks after The Amazing Spider-Man 2).
As we've learned today, Guardians of the Galaxy (which remains unofficial) has changed release dates moving from May 16th, 2014 to August 1st, 2014, a full three months later (and two weeks after X-Men: First Class 2). It's going to be a busy year for Marvel.
Guardians of the Galaxy offers another team-up film of characters for Marvel to merchandise and tells the story of a group of aliens (Adam Warlock, Drax The Destroyer, Gamora, Groot, Quasar, Rocket Raccoon and ally Nova) who come together to protect the galaxy from Thanos, the villain teased in the button at the end of The Avengers.
[gallery columns="2" id="126901" exclude="126915"]
There are a variety of potential reasons for the release date switch and it could be anything from timing production with a certain director the studio has in mind, to opening up their production schedule for another film (i.e. Ant-Man) to shoot before Guardians to also come out in 2014. We'll hopefully find out next Saturday at Marvel Studios' San Diego Comic-Con panel presentation.
Let's take a look at the current Marvel Studios release schedule (and changes) leading up to present:
- Iron Man 3 (May 3)
- Thor 2 (
November 15pushed forward a week to November 8th)
- Captain America 2 (April 4)
UnknownConfirmed Untitled Marvel Film ( May 16pushed back to August 1)
- Unknown (June 27)
The original pair of dates Marvel Studios claimed for 2014 were for May 16th and June 27th. Instead of taking Marvel's traditional May slot, Captain America 2 was positioned earlier - potentially to serve as a setup for another film later that year? That May slot was instead reportedly to be used for Guardians of the Galaxy which is now the film likely occupying Marvel Studios' new August 1st date that year.
Where does that leave Marvel's original two days? Currently sitting in the May 16th slot is the Michael Bay-produced alien-themed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and on June 27th, Michael Bay's Transformers 4 - both films for Paramount. Perhaps Marvel Studios is playing nice after buying back the distribution rights from Paramount for The Avengers and Iron Man 3. More realistically, both of those films will be competing for the same audience as Marvel and Transformers won't budge for anyone except Michael Bay.
So here's the actual schedule for "Phase 2" of the Marvel cinematic universe as we currently know it. Expect The Avengers 2 in May 2015.
- Iron Man 3 (May 3)
- Thor 2 (November 8th)
- Captain America 2 (April 4)
- Guardians of the Galaxy (August 1)
So, with Edgar Wright shooting test footage for Ant-Man which could potentially show up at Comic-Con week, there's a very realistic possibility that Ant-Man could represent a third Marvel Studios release for 2014, something President Kevin Feige hinted at previous as something dependent on what Mr. Wright presented to them. That could come mid-summer, between the two listed titles or it could do what Thor 2 is trying out and come that fall.
Other possibilities include the recently rumored Black Panther, Doctor Strange, The Incredible Hulk 2 or some such combination of characters. Black Panther vs. Hulk anyone? Heroes for Hire with Luke Cage and Iron Fist? Either way, we can expect at least one more film in 2014 or 2015, if not two.
When do you think Ant-Man should release?
Iron Man 3 releases May 3, 2013, Thor 2 on November 8, 2013, Captain America 2 on April 4, 2014 and Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1, 2014.

Does Kristen Stewart Regret Doing 'Twilight?'
Kristen also says she wants to be open and honest about the people who obsess over her: 'People are f—–g crazy!'
Kristen Stewart's new interview in British GQ is her most revealing yet! Besides finally admitting that "my boyfriend is English" (hello, Robert Pattinson) she also alludes to wanting a quieter life — you know, one where she never starred in the Twilight movies. "I would have been happy just working from job to job, paying my rent one movie at a time," she says. "I never wanted to be this famous. I never imagined this life for myself."
As for all the attention she gets, Kristen doesn't seem too thrilled about that, either. She rather bluntly calls out crazed fans and photographers for being — well, I'll let her say it:
"People are crazy. … It would be fake for me to sit here and say people are not crazy. I'm sure lots of people shy away from this question, as they want to make sure they look 100 percent appreciative all the time, and that everything is the most amazing thing always … but at the end of the line, people are f—–g crazy!"
We're actually pretty shocked K-Stew would say something like that. She's always been so good with her fans, and seems willing to sit down for interviews, like this one. Also, if she wishes she could work job to job, why did she sign up for Snow White and the Huntsman — another huge franchise?

RSL Misses Out on U.S. Soccer's National Championship for Fourth Time in as Many Years;
No Time for Rest as Rematch in League Play Looms Saturday Night at RFK Stadium
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Wednesday, June 2, 2010) – Real Salt Lake saw a late equalizer go for naught in its Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup MLS Play-in qualifying contest at D.C. United, as substitute MF Andy Najar's goal at the start of the second extra added time period stood to down the defending MLS Cup champs 2-1 at RFK Stadium. The two sides traded penalty kicks in the final 15 minutes of regulation to set up a scramble to the finish that spilled over into the added extra time sessions. It would be United that would ultimately survive and advance, as last year's tournament runner-up claimed MLS' remaining berth in U.S. Soccer's National Championship competition.
The first half was a choppy 45 minutes, with the makeshift line-ups feeling each other out – and adjusting to a revamped 4-2-3-1 formation in the visitors' case. While Real Salt Lake would hold the better of the possession, it was United gaining the two best chances of the stanza off of lightning-fast counter-attacks, but GK Kyle Reynish made a stellar tip save of FW Luciano Emilio's 35-yard effort in the 14th minute to keep D.C. off the board, while late pressure from DF Tony Beltran and a hard-charging Reynish would combine to force MF Thabiso Khumalo to push his 1-v-1 on goal just wide of the left post.
The second half began in similar fashion with RSL holding possession well, but things would start to even out just past the hour mark with the introduction of dangerous attackers on both sides, RSL inserting the influential trio of FW Álvaro Saborío, MF Javier Morales and FW Fabian Espíndola, while United subbed in FW Chris Pontius and MF Santino Quaranta. However, the scoreboard wouldn't change until the 75th minute when, after Reynish slid in well to stop a shot at his right post, the ball popped up to Pontius, whose bicycle half-chance was deemed handled by MF Collen Warner. Emilio would sneak his low shot just past Reynish and inside the left post to put the home side up 1-0 with a quarter-hour to go.
But the lead would be short-lived, as Real Salt Lake would earn a PK of its own six minutes later after Espíndola's cross from the left side of the area clipped the hand of DF Barry Rice on the way past. MF Will Johnson stepped up to bury the spot kick into the right side of goal in the 81st minute, setting up a frantic final 10 minutes of regulation. Both sides would have fine chances to avoid added extra time, but nothing else would find the back of the net, resulting in 30 more minutes of bonus soccer to decide who would advance.
While the attacking intensity ratcheted up for both sides, it became evident that it might take an individual effort to break down the defenses – and that would be supplied by the fresh legs of Najar just moments after his insertion between the two added time halves. In the 107th minute, the United rookie confidently split a pair of RSL defenders in the right side of the area before slotting low under an onrushing Reynish to give United the advantage once again. Real Salt Lake would throw everything it had on goal from there on out, but despite coming close on numerous occasions – including seeing a pair of shots cleared off the line by Rice – it couldn't recreate the late-game magic that helped even up its first Play-in contest at San Jose six weeks ago.
Real Salt Lake Notes
· There will be little time to rest for both squads, who will meet up this Saturday, June 5, again at RFK Stadium, this time in League play. Real Salt Lake will look to improve upon its club-record five-game winning streak in MLS play when it squares off with United for a 5:30 p.m. MT kickoff (live on KUSG 2.2, KALL 700 Sports, ESPN Deportes 1600-AM and Homero 106.1-FM).
· With tonight's result, Real Salt Lake's overall record in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and tournament qualifying play dropped to 3-6-1. Since MLS teams went to the "Play-in" format to settle the last two of its eight berths in 2007, Real Salt Lake has failed to qualify, coming within one game of doing so each of the last two seasons.
· Tonight's match saw the official RSL debut in League or Cup competition for a pair of rookies. DF Chris Schuler was plugged into the starting XI on the left side of the RSL backline and went 63 minutes on the evening, while 16-year-old Luis Gil entered following regulation and played an active 30 minutes during the added extra time sessions.

text: Since Swiss astrophysicist Fritz Zwicky first inferred its existence in 1933, dark matter has remained one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in cosmology. Invisible to telescopes, dark matter was detected through its effects on visible matter. Astronomical measurements have shown that dark matter is three-fourths of all matter, but at present no one has yet directly observed a dark matter particle. See how astrophysicists are seeking evidence for dark matter at the center of the Milky Way galaxy and how a new detector almost a mile underground will look for dark matter particles in the laboratory.

VIII NEW YORK, JANUARY, 1925 No. 1 AGAIN it appears that the stock exchange may be used as an index of forthcoming business conditions. In the light of the past, its recent activity seems to presage an era of prosperity. Facilities of brokerage houses have been taxed to the limit in order to handle the enormous volume of transactions which have taken place at continually rising prices. Every day has seen a long list of stocks reach new high levels for the year. 1 he trading has not been confined to a few issues, but has been widely diversified and representative of the country's leading industries. The unusual activity of the exchange has not been unwarranted. The business outlook appears to be the best in several years. Our country has practically emerged from the period of depression of a few years ago. The uncertainties of the "election year" have passed, and the return to power of the present conservative administration has been a stabilizing factor in our industries. The situation in Europe has begun to look more favorable than at any other time since the war. German rehabilitation is being accomplished through the agency of the Dawes plan; and the relations among the nations, at least on the surface, are again cordial. Apparently, it may reasonably be expected that there will be a rise in the general price level during the coming months. The leading price indexes re-cently have begun to show an increase. Professor Irving Fisher's index number of the wholesale prices of two hundred representative commodities stood at 154.6 for the week ended December 5, as against 142.3 for the week ended July 11, the low point of the year. Prosperity is contagious. When the producers in one group of industries begin to receive more for their output, their demand grows for the products of other groups, with a resulting tendency towards higher prices for the other products. The movement thus becomes a progressive one. It seems that there may be expected also an increase in volume of business, accompanied by an extension of facilities for production. The railroads have announced an ambitious program for 1925. The number of corporate security issues for purposes of expansion is already on the increase. Present tendencies indicate that we are not in imminent danger of another period of inflation and over-expansion. The present signs of prosperity appear to be warranted by conditions. A general betterment has become manifest in the status of almost all our industries, including agriculture. The general attitude prevailing seems hopeful rather than over-optimistic. It is not amiss, nevertheless, to bespeak caution in expanding our industries, lest What We May Expect

When it released for PC in February 2012, Alan Wake came with no mod tools. Developer Remedy Entertainment said tools wouldn't be released because of their complexity, and their dependence on third-party tools which would presumably require permissions or licenses.
That hasn't stopped Alan Wake's community from hurling itself at the task, which, to change textures, requires unpacking and repacking a 2.9 gigabyte file, using a community-released tool. Against these odds, modder Xymbiot3 has defiantly released this, which gives Alan's flashlight... a Hello Kitty pattern. And Alan a Mike Tyson face tattoo. Problem is, because it all has to be repacked into a 3GB file, it's impractical to distribute. But here, at least, you can say that you have seen Alan Wake running around like Ed Helms in The Hangover II.

When looking for couples to model for both this series, Couple Jam, and his ever popular work, Flesh Love, Tokyo-based Photographer Hal goes to underground bars in Shibuya and Kabukicho (Tokyo's Red Light District), places he describes as "luscious nighttime bee hives". Musicians, dancers, strippers, service workers and businessmen are all fair game as models as long as they are willing and able to contort their bodies to fit in the confined spaces Photographer Hal obviously has an affinity for.
These photographic "events" take place in the models bathrooms. Photographer Hal explains, "I think of the bathroom as being one of the most private and intimate place in anyone's home, this provoked a shyness in the models, and created a unique excitement and inspiration in the scene."
