ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. -- The man arrested in the slaying of a beloved teacher at a Vermont prep school told police that he and his wife were driving around Sunday when he "got the idea to get a girl," according to an affidavit filed in the case by a Vermont State Police investigator.
Allen Prue, 30, went on to give a detailed confession to the crime, saying that he and his wife, Patricia, 33, lured Melissa Jenkins, mother of a toddler, from her home on the pretext that they had car trouble, and then killed Jenkins and disposed of her body, the affidavit said.
Prue had once plowed Jenkins's driveway. Jenkins's friends told investigators that she had mentioned that the man who plowed her driveway had asked her out. She also said that the man had shown up at her home drunk in the fall, Detective Sergeant Walter F. Smith said in the affidavit.
The Prues pleaded not guilty today to charges of second-degree murder and improper disposal of a body in the strangling death of the 33-year-old Jenkins.
"Allen Prue advised that when Melissa Jenkins got out of her vehicle he grabbed her and strangled her," Smith said, summarizing an interview Prue had with other detectives. "Allen Prue advised that he didn't know what she was doing but [k]new that his wife Patricia was outside of the vehicle helping him."
Patricia Prue denied any knowledge of Jenkins's death in her interviews with State Police, Smith said in the affidavit summarizing the case.
Wearing handcuffs and leg shackles, the couple appeared this morning in a Vermont courtroom, where a judge ordered them held without bail. The prosecutor, Caledonia County State's Attorney Lisa Warren, said the only known tie between the couple and Jenkins was the snowplowing. She declined further comment.
Jenkins's vehicle was found idling at around 11 p.m. Sunday night near her St. Johnsbury home, with her 2-year-old son still inside. On Monday afternoon, police found Jenkins's body in Barnet, a town about 10 miles from St. Johnsbury.
Jenkins had called a friend Sunday evening, saying she "got a weird call from a girl and guy who used to plow her driveway. They said their car broke down near her house," the detective's affidavit said. Jenkins gave the friend the name and phone number of the Prues from a business card she had kept for snowplowing.
Other friends, after not hearing from Jenkins for about two hours, became nervous and drove toward her house and discovered her car, with her son asleep inside. The friends found her shoe and a male's hat with "Polaris Racing" on it.
Police responding to the scene said the toddler, Ty, told them that his mother had cried. The toddler pulled on the back of his neck to indicate someone "had done that to his 'mommy.'" He said his "mommy" left in a car, the affidavit said.
Prue allegedly told investigators that after he strangled Jenkins, he put her in the back seat of the car and left. Prue also said that, at one point, his wife had choked Jenkins some more to "ensure she wasn't breathing."
Prue also detailed the couple's disposal of the body, saying that he and his wife had put Jenkins's body in a tarp, along with her clothes and their clothes, and poured bleach on them. Then, Prue told officers, they weighed down the body with cinderblocks and put it in the Connecticut River, covering it with branches.
Allen Prue's mother, Donna Prue, and sister, Sharon Tinder, were on hand for the arraignment today and insisted afterward that the couple is being wrongly accused of a monstrous crime.
"I want people out there to realize he is not the monster they are making him out to be,'' said Donna Prue, who lives with the couple in Waterford.
"Neither one of them are,'' added Tinder.
Tinder said the couple did plow for Jenkins, but they had not had any contact with Jenkins for the past several years. Mother and sister said Allen Prue did not even know Melissa Jenkins's full name because she paid them in cash when the couple handled snowplowing duties.
The relatives said Patricia Prue is a New York native who met her husband through an on-line dating service in 2008. Tinder said Patricia Prue only knew her husband's extended family and friends and had no tie to Jenkins. Patricia Prue also has chronic health issues, including depression, diabetes, and panic attacks, Tinder said.
The mother and sister, who were interviewed before the State Police released the affidavits summarizing their investigation, both appealed to law enforcement to continue investigating so that the proper people are charged with murdering Jenkins.
"I wish I could do something to prove that they really didn't do it,'' Tinder said. "And I hope that the cops aren't willing to give up and try to find more evidence that they really didn't do it instead of wrongly accusing somebody.''
Donna Prue added, "I think there are a lot of holes in this case and I think they really need to keep looking. … They are good people. … And I want them to have a fair deal in this. … They are being set up by somebody, I don't know who.''
The Globe reported today that classes were canceled at the St. Johnsbury Academy because of Jenkins's death, and a candlelight vigil was held in her memory on campus.
Jenkins's son was unharmed and is being cared for by family. The boy regularly visits his father, the Globe reported.
"Our efforts in this case are not complete. There is still much work to be done,'' Vermont State Police Major Edward Ledo said. "However, we hope these arrests bring some closure to the family and friends of Melissa Jenkins.''

Greek Life at Wilmington College has a strong tradition of pride. Joining a Greek organization is a great experience, and can be one for you and your student, just like it has been for many students before. WC students and alumni take great pride in their brotherhood or sisterhood and wear their letters proudly, for life. It's a great opprotunity to create and establish firendships that truley last a lifetime.
WC has 4 local sororities (local means only at WC), 1 regional sorority (region means located in surrounding areas), 1 national sorority (national means located across the country), 3 local fraternities, 1 regional fraternity, and 1 national fraternity.
5% of WC's student body are members of Greek organizations
The first Greek organizations were founded over 100 years ago (1907), Gamma Phi Gamma Fraternity and Delta Omega Theta Sorority
During pledge season for any organization the new members (pledges, associates, etc.) will be learning not only about the organization itself, but about the active and alumni members as well. It is a learning process not only for the one's who are trying to become new members, but for the active members as well. The desired outcome of the experience is a bonding and commitment to the organization's mission and values.
Statistically, there are several outstanding outcomes from being Greek at WC… Greeks are more likely to graduate than non-Greek students, and to even be apart of the Greek community your student must have a 2.0 GPA or better to pledge, and some organizations require their members to have at least a 2.5, the average GPA of Greek students is above the gender average of non-Greeks. Greeks are committed to service to the community and philanthropy. In the past 8 years, Greeks (making up 15% of the student body) provided on average nearly 50% of WC's total service and philanthropy including 41,224 hours of service to the community and $46,113 of philanthropy.
Some annual community service projects that most if not all of the Greek community is involved in include: Relay for Life, Cardboard Village, Can Sculpture (a food drive where all products are given to a local food pantry), Freshmen Move In Crew, and other numerous projects that each organization takes on independently.
Wilmington College has a strict Anti-Hazing Policy that all active and new members must sign and follow.

Jim Graham Externships Far Exceed Expectationsby Tom Runge • March 13, 2005 Share:
The Jim Graham '65 Externship program, named for one of the original organizers of the Washington regional association, was an unqualified success. The program, a collaborative effort between The National Capital Association of Wabash Men and the Schroeder Career Center team, exceeded everyone's expectation.
Six Wabash students participated in the program in Washington over spring break. After work, the students stayed at the homes of David Pancost '69 and Hayden Wetzel '72. The externs and their sponsors were:
Jonathan Dilley '03 hosted Ben Gonzalez '07 in the Office of the Congressman Dan Burton. Ben spent part of his time discussing international politics with the Chilean ambassador to the US…speaking in Spanish!
Bob Armstrong '74 hosted Luke Lukasil '06 and Clay Conner '06 at the National Defense University. Luke participated in some very high-level policy discussions concerning technology and its use in biological and chemical warfare. Clay had the opportunity to visit a couple of Defense laboratories doing state of the art work.
George Patton '84 and Bert Salinas '97 co-hosted Paul Stolarczuk '06 and Dunmomi Owolabi '06 at their respective law firms. They spent a couple of days serving as law clerks on a class action suit involving over 800 clients.
Ambassador George Jones '55 hosted Ben Nguyen Tang Le '06 at the consulting firm of Development Associates, Inc. Ben worked on evaluation systems for measuring the success of international programs funded by the US government.
To finish off the week, Jane and Greg Castanias '87 hosted the local group for a dinner at their beautiful home in Oaktown, Virginia, a DC suburb. Mike Santens, a close family friend of Jim and Lani Graham, told the group how excited Jim was about the upcoming externship program. Mike visited Jim and Lani Graham the day before Jim passed away. Mike told the group he now understood Jim's unabashed love of Wabash as he remarked about the close nature of the Wabash community.
Many thanks go to the National Capital Association of Wabash Men, especially to the alumni who hosted our young men at work and at home, and to Greg and Jane for a fun evening

The Tanqueray Perfect Ten Campaign
The New Cruelty was commissioned by Samantha Durchslag, Global Head of PR, Diageo Reserve in London to produce and execute a photographic shoot (along with accompanying behind-the-scenes video footage) in ten cities, in ten countries for the Tanqueray Perfect Ten global PR Campaign. The brief was to photograph classic portraits of each of the ten bartenders, and a reportage of them making their signature Tanqueray Ten Martini and finally, shoot a reportage of each of the cities.
The main production started at the beginning of September at Milk & Honey and The Bar at the Dorchester. It then then moved on through Europe, stopping at The Galaxy Bar in Athens, Ideal and La Florida in Barcelona, the Tearose in Monza, near Milan. The European leg of the shoot wrapped in Paris at The Hemmingway Bar in the Ritz, and the main bar in the sublime Costes Hotel.
From Europe, the team then headed west to the United States to cover nine bars in the two selected cities. The first stop was New York and the bar at STK in the Meatpacking District. Death & Company in the Lower East Side was the next location, followed by The Flatiron Lounge on West 19th Street. The historical Bemelman's Bar at the Carlisle Hotel in the Upper East Side and The World Bar near the United Nations completed the New York stint.
In December, TNC started the third stage of the worldwide tour in South Beach, Miami, choosing bartenders from the Setai, DeVito's, Prime and Barton G. The last stop before the Christmas Holidays was the bar at the W Hotel in Mexico City, making for a relaxed end to the year.

In January 2008, Tokyo was selected as the first of the two Asian cities to be featured in the campaign. It proved to be one of the most memorable shoots as it was the only one featuring a female bartender - Yukiyo Kurihara at the city's new Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The final stop in Asia was the historic city of Shanghai - with the Rouge Bar on the Bund as the appointed bar in this booming, but chaotic city.
All in all, the Tanqueray Ten Perfect Ten campaign took more than five months to complete. Over twelve thousand frames were shot, filing over a terabyte of disk space; 15 flights and one Eurostar were taken; $5,300 in excess baggage was paid; 12 different hotel rooms were slept in; and innumerable taxi and van journeys were endured. As for the number of Martinis drunk? That's anybody's guess.

The International Monetary Fund recently said that it expects commodity prices to fall this year as the global economy remains weak. In the organization's World Economic Outlook, it said, "Sizable downside risks to global growth also pose risks of further downward adjustment in commodity prices." The ongoing European debt crisis is slowing creeping back into focus as Spain faces rising interest rates. While safe-havens in the current financial system are limited, the IMF recognizes gold as an option for investors seeking portfolio protection.
On Monday, fears about a weakening Spanish economy and its ability to finance its debt pushed the yield on the Spanish 10-year bond above 6 percent. It is the highest level on the 10-year bond since the European Central Bank launched its first Long Term Refinancing Operation last year. Concerns also spilled over into Italy, where bond yields increased to 5.65 percent. "If the price action is any indicator, Spain will find itself under more pressure over the next few weeks, explained a debt trader in London, according to the WSJ. The trader goes on to explain, "As we have seen before in Greece and Italy, once 10-year bond yields cross 6 percent, people start to get nervous pretty quickly."

Don't Miss: How Serious are China and India About Their Gold?
Spain, the euro zone's fourth largest economy, is scheduled to sell bonds at an auction this Thursday. The sale will be closely watched as any weakness in the auction will spark more insolvency fears. Although Spain and Italy are currently in the spotlight, insolvency issues plague the entire globe. In fact, Egan Jones downgraded the United States credit rating from AA+ to AA with a negative outlook earlier this month. Egan Jones said, "Without some structural changes soon, restoring credit quality will become increasingly difficult. Yields on 10-year Treasury notes have fallen to their lowest since early February 2010 with the Federal Reserve's aggressive purchases of US Treasuries. A concern is the rise in interest rates placing higher pressure on the US's credit quality."
The global credit crisis is diminishing safe-haven options left and right. According to the IMF's Global Financial Stability Report, the number of sovereigns whose debt is perceived as a safe-haven could decline by $9 trillion within four years, representing a 16 percent decrease. The IMF believes high rated government securities make up the bulk of safe-haven options at $33.2 trillion. However, the fund also recognizes gold as a safe-haven at $8.4 trillion, representing 11 percent of outstanding amounts of marketable safe assets.
As the financial crisis continues to unfold, investors will be forced to seek true safe-havens that do not carry counter-party risk, such as gold and silver. This rising demand for these safe-havens will continue to support precious metal prices and the current bull market. The IMF report states, "In the future, there will be rising demand for safe assets, but fewer of them will be available, increasing the price for safety in global markets. In principle, investors evaluate all assets based on their intrinsic characteristics." When it comes to bonds based on fiat currencies, intrinsic characteristics will leave investors low on value.

Bootheel Tractor needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 86 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
Yellow Dog Hunting Club (YDHC)
Owner of a duck hunting club on Yellow Dog Ditch in SE Missouri. Looking for a professional looking logo with outdoor or waterfowl theme.
City folks coming to rural areas to duck hunt.
Logo will be used on hats, T's and normal promotional items and must represent what it is we do (rent blinds to duck hunters). Most clubs in our area use a full duck in the design, but I think a reconizable part of the duck (bill, foot, tail feathers) could provide enough to get the point accross. Some use cattails, rice fields, etc, but suprise me if u like...
I would consider the letters YDHC as the main name of the logo.
No dogs, Yellow Dog it the name of the drainage ditch that divides the farm.
Earthy or camo colors please.

RaymondP necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 57 diseños de 27 diseñadores freelance.
I live in Orlando, Florida. I have invented a new version to a game that is very popular in the US. I am looking for a logo to use for this product as it is just going into production. This product is a cornhole game (also known as bag toss) that lights up, as if the entire board glowed, so it can be played at night. I was the inventor of Rockpedal, a drum pedal used for the game rockband. The product has done very well and this time I am going to try and start the company on my own. My partner recommended 99 designs from his experience marketing rockpedal. The name of this product is "Midnightcornhole". There will also be a web site called "midnightcornhole.com" but it is not up and running yet.
The game of cornhole is very popular at BBQs and Football tailgates. This game is mostly played outside because it requires a 50' x 10' area. This game is mostly played by people between the age of 16 and 45, mostly men but some women too. There are many websites devoted to the game of cornhole. I am using the ACO standards for board dimensions. Their web site americancornhole.org has a great deal of information about the game. I am targeting people who will pay the extra cost to have the very best cornhole board made. Also for people who would like to play at night without all of the problems with setting up special outdoor lights. just play at night. These boards will have the ability to have custom logos, of the buyers request, painted on the inside of the board so that it shins through like a back lit sigh. These custom boards will probably target fraternity letters or company names.
I need a simple design that can be made into stickers and put on the boards for advertising. I imagine it with less than 12 colors. The board is all white so the logo will be going on a white background. This logo needs to incorporate the full name "midnightcornhole" or "midnightcornhole.com". I will probably use this same design for business cards and the title of the web page. I would like the logo to reflect how the board lights up or "glows".

COSMOS Programming Model
COSMOS provides a framework for collecting and visualizing data for system administration applications. By leveraging the COSMOS framework and providing the necessary extensions, programmers can quickly and easily create applications for collecting data from disparate data sources, and making data available through standard-based APIs or an easy-to-use user interface. This document explains the programming model used in extending the COSMOS framework.
Creating a Data Manager
Getting Code from CVS
The code for data manager (both the framework and examples for using the framework) is checked into the sandbox directory of the COSMOS CVS.
Host: dev.eclipse.org Repository: /cvsroot/technology Path: org.eclipse.cosmos/sandbox
Here is the list of bundles and their purposes:
Framework code for data manager:
- org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.datamanager
- org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.datamanager.common
- org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.datamanager.client
Framework code for MDR (only required if data manager has to be CMDBf compliant):
- org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.mdr
- org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.mdr.common
- org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.mdr.client
MDR for SML repository (an example of an MDR, and can also be used to work with the SML repository provided by the *resource modeling subproject)
- org.eclipse.cosmos.rm.sandbox.dataManager.sml
Example MDR that provides custom capabilities and operations:
- org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.datamanager.example
- org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.datamanager.example.common
- org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.datamanager.example.client
Test programs:
- org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.datamanager.test
Class Diagrams
Creating an MDR
Prerequisite: Import the framework bundles into workspace or install them in the target plaform. Note: org.eclipse.cosmos.rm.sandbox.dataManager.sml bundle is an implementation of an MDR that uses an SML repository as the backend datastore. Please refer to it as an example for creating an MDR. The following steps show how to create an MDR.
- Create a plugin project. In the "Target Platform" section, select "an OSGi framework", and select "standard" from the dropdown box. Click next to provide plugin ID, name, etc, and click Finish.
- Edit the MANIFEST.MF file in the Plug-in Manifest Editor. On the Dependencies tab, add the following dependencies and save the file:
- org.apache.muse.complete
- org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.dataManager
- org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.mdr
- Create a class in this bundle that provides the implementation of the
- Annotate the class as a ManagedResource
- Extend AbstractMDR class
- Implement IDataManager and IMdrQuery (Although the superclass already implements these interfaces, we need this step as a temporary workaround for a bug in the management bundle.) The class signature looks something like this:
@ManagedResource public class MyMDR extends AbstractMdr implements IDataManager, IMdrQuery
- Implemnet methods declared in interfaces and abstract methods from super class. For example, the query method takes a CMDBf query as input. Provide adapter code here to parse the query, talk to the data source, and return the response in CMDBf response format. The logic for parsing the query, invocation of APIs of data source and transforming the query output to CMDBf query response can take place in another class or OSGi bundle.
- An activator class is generated when the OSGi bundle created. Open the Activator java file in the editor. COSMOS framework comes with an abstract activator that contains code required by the activators of all data managers. Make the following updates in the activator java class:
- Remove the "start" and "stop" method stubs generated by the eclipse.
- Make the Activator class extend AbstractDataManagerActivator
- Implement the getDataManagerInstance abract method. The method will return an instance of the class that implements the capabilities. The activator will look like the following.
public class Activator extends AbstractDataManagerActivator { protected IDataManager getDataManagerInstance() { return new MyDataManager(); } }
Providing Custom Capabilities
A data manager can expose operations that are not part of the CMDBf specification by providing a custom capability and implementation. The org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.example.* bundles provide an example on how to create a data manager with custom APIs.
The convention is to put code for the data manager in three bundles:
- API bundle: (e.g. org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.sandbox.example.common) This "common" bundle is used by both the server and the client.
- Implementation bundle: Server code that provides implementation of the custom capability.
- Client proxy: remote API for the data manager.
A capability is declared as a Java interface. (See org.eclipse.cosmos.dc.dataManager.example.api.ICustomCapability as an example. Please note the following components in the capability interface:
- The interface declaration is decorated by the following annotation. Namespace is declared as a public constant in the interface class.
- Methods are decorated by the @ManagedOperation annotation.
- The URI and QName of each operation and their parameters are also declared in the interface.
The steps for creating the implemtation bundle is same as those used to create a basic MDR as described in the prvious section. The difference is that the data manager implementation class will also implement the custom capability API in the class delaration, and provide the implementation in the class.

LOUISVILLE -- Images from space dominated the week and fired up imaginations all over again.
An unmanned capsule launched by a private company docked with the International Space Station 240 miles above Earth, exchanged cargo with the astronauts living there and then plummeted through the atmosphere into a picture-perfect splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on Thursday morning.
The accomplishment was a first for the burgeoning commercial space sector and California-based SpaceX, helmed by 40-year-old South Africa-born billionaire Elon Musk, was lauded worldwide for its success.
But just two days before the heralded return of SpaceX's Dragon capsule 560 miles off the coast of Baja California, a company much closer to home reached a critical milestone of its own in the commercial race to space -- albeit one done largely out of the glare of the media spotlight.
Sierra Nevada Corporation Space Systems, headquartered on the Colorado Technology Center campus in Louisville, passed one of the most complex tests it has faced in its attempt to launch a seven-person orbital vehicle -- called the Dream Chaser -- into space by 2016. Known as a captive-carry test, the effort required the 40-foot-long and 25-foot-wide Dream Chaser to be lifted by an Erickson Air-Crane helicopter into the skies above Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport and put through a battery of tests measuring its aerodynamic flight performance.
Last week's successful result paves the way for the sleek space plane to undergo autonomous approach and landing tests at Edwards Air Force Base in California this fall before finally heading skyward on an Atlas V rocket.
"We're really excited because after taking it on paper for many years, we're actually starting to fly the real thing that NASA is going to be taking to space," said Mark Sirangelo, who heads up Sierra Nevada's 230-employee space systems division in Louisville.
He doesn't begrudge SpaceX's day in the sun because he recognizes that every success scored by Sierra Nevada's competitors strengthens the private sector space program as a whole. With NASA's space shuttle program mothballed since last summer, Sirangelo said the only thing that will spare the United States from having to pay upwards of $60 million for a seat on the Russian Soyuz space capsule is a privately built vehicle like Dream Chaser.
"We believe that the goal here is to bring America back into the human space flight business," he said.
Sirangelo imagines a day when Colorado, with an already formidable aerospace infrastructure in place, takes on an even bigger role in the next phase of space travel.
He points to Sierra Nevada's relationship with the University of Colorado's Engineering Center and United Launch Alliance, based in Centennial, as a powerful nexus. And then there's Lockheed Martin's work at its Waterton facility south of Denver on NASA's Orion crew module, which is being designed for interplanetary and deep space travel.
"We see Colorado potentially as being the focal point of human space flight for the United States going forward," Sirangelo said.
High-risk business
Industry analysts warn, however, that the path ahead for the commercial space sector won't be free of space junk, floating debris and other risks.
While a private company has proven it can deliver supplies to the International Space Station and return to Earth, shuttling astronauts back and forth to space -- a feat only a handful of national governments has managed to do -- represents a whole new level of complexity.
"The next phase of delivering crew up there is an additional quantum leap over moving cargo up there," said David Klaus, associate professor with the aerospace engineering sciences department at CU-Boulder.
Paul Guthrie, senior economist at space industry consulting firm The Tauri Group in Alexandria, Va., said one major slip-up or error by a company trying to land a lucrative contract with NASA can set back a program by years and cost it hundreds of millions of dollars.
Making matters worse is that Sierra Nevada is not alone in seeking funding from NASA, which has operated over the last few years with a constrained budget. The space agency's Commercial Crew Program, which aims to partner with and fund companies that can design and build fully integrated commercial crew transport systems, includes seven firms working on launch systems, spacecraft or both.
Candrea Thomas, a NASA spokeswoman based at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, said the space agency's goal with its Commercial Crew Program is to work with private industry to develop multiple spacecraft that can reliably and consistently ferry astronauts into low Earth orbit.
"It is in America's interest to have an American-led system to take our astronauts to the International Space Station," she said. "This kind of program helps us because it allows NASA to focus on deeper space exploration -- to places where we haven't gone before."
NASA has existing financial arrangements with Sierra Nevada, SpaceX, Boeing and Blue Origin, a space venture started by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, but the next big step happens next month. That's when the space agency awards $300 million to $500 million in Space Act Agreements to get to the goal of a crewed orbital demonstration flight in the next few years.
And that, Commercial Spaceflight Federation Executive Director Alexander Saltman said, has everyone asking the same question.
"Who will NASA choose to fund and how much?" he said.
'Huge psychic advantage'
No one wants to lay bets on who comes out best in the funding scramble or gets a manned vehicle to space first, but The Tauri Group's Guthrie likes Sierra Nevada's odds.
First, there's the Dream Chaser's appearance: With its sleek, swept-back wings and rounded nose, it looks very much like a miniature version of the space shuttle that captured the nation's imagination over a 30-year period. Guthrie said the popularity of the shuttle program was made evident in mid-April when adoring spectators watched Discovery, mounted atop a Boeing 747, circle over Washington, D.C. on its way to retirement at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
"I think Sierra Nevada is being very intelligent in how they are designing the vehicle and how it will play in the public sphere," he said. "It's a huge psychic advantage in the PR battle."
More importantly, the company's recent completion of four milestones for NASA -- including a flight test readiness review and a preliminary design review -- "will put them on an accelerated path," he said. Sierra Nevada has already landed $125 million in funding from NASA.
Guthrie said the Dream Chaser, which is modeled after NASA's decades-old HL-20 Personnel Launch System, has been under development for a long time and is designed to launch on one of the world's most reliable rockets -- the Atlas V.
Klaus, the aerospace professor at CU, said the Dream Chaser's ability to land on any commercial runway in the world -- unique among the spacecraft being developed -- is a significant advantage. Unlike SpaceX's capsule, which had to be located and retrieved by ship, scientists would have quick access to time-sensitive biological experiments coming back on the Dream Chaser from the space station or from future scientific labs that may one day be built in space.
And unlike the space shuttle, Dream Chaser uses a nonvolatile fuel and can be handled almost immediately after coasting to a stop, said Jim Voss, vice president of Space Exploration Systems at Sierra Nevada.
"You can walk right up to this thing when it lands," said Voss, who flew on five space shuttle missions for NASA.
And Dream Chaser will prove more cost-effective than the space capsules it is competing against, Sirangelo said, because of its ability to be used multiple times on short notice.
"We have a reusability factor and we can turn the vehicle around in 60 days," he said.
Dot-com-like boom ahead?
Sierra Nevada and its rivals in the private space business aren't putting all their eggs in the International Space Station basket as they tackle what appears to be a wide-open market.
Sierra Nevada already manufactures small satellites and rocket motor systems for other aerospace companies, including some of its rivals. Sirangelo said the company could easily move in the direction of building a Dream Chaser that can repair or retrieve satellites. Or one that caters to the nascent space tourism market, especially since the craft's low g-force dynamics would translate into a smoother takeoff and reentry experience for the passenger than would be possible on a space capsule.
While penetrating the suborbital travel market would put Sierra Nevada up against even more competitors -- like Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo, XCOR Aerospace's Lynx, and Armadillo Aerospace -- Alan Stern, associate vice president of the Boulder-based Southwest Research Institute, said providing a variety of services is the right way to tackle the commercial space market.
"They have to find a diversified customer base," he said. "They cannot make a viable business with only one customer -- NASA."
Stern said Sierra Nevada is up against some venerable competitors in the low Earth orbit sector, like ATK and Boeing. But he credits the company for having "deep experience on the bench." That includes the company's director of flight operations, Steven Lindsey, who joined Sierra Nevada last year.
Lindsey, who flew four shuttle missions for NASA, said he was awestruck at the number of people who gathered on Simms Street on the west side of Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport to watch Dream Chaser's captive-carry test on Tuesday.
"We're at a tipping point in commercial space," he said. "We're on the cusp of changing how things are done."
Guthrie, the analyst, likens today's jockeying and jostling among companies in the commercial space sector to the excitement and uncertainty of the dot-com boom 15 years ago.
"Like the Google or Amazon that came out of that boom, we could have some very big players that change the face of the space industry," he said.
Stern, who has already reserved for his institute future seats on suborbital spacecraft being designed by Virgin Galactic and XCOR, said as notable as this past week was for the commercial space industry, it's nothing compared to what lies down the road.
"I believe this pivotal week will be dwarfed by future accomplishments," he said. "I think this industry is still driving around in first gear."

The companies in NASA's Commercial Crew Program
SpaceX - The Hawthorne, Calif.-based company, headed by Ebay founder Elon Musk, docked the first commercial spacecraft to the International Space Station and then returned the capsule to Earth late last month. The capsule, called the Dragon, only carried cargo but the company said it is capable of carrying up to seven crewmembers.
Sierra Nevada Corp. - The company's Louisville-based space systems division is building the seven-person Dream Chaser space vehicle, the only commercial spacecraft being developed that will be able to land on a runway rather than splashing down in the ocean. It will be launched on an Atlas V rocket. Target operational date: 2016.
Boeing - The Chicago-based aerospace giant is developing the CST-100 space capsule, which will be compatible with a variety of launch vehicles. It is designed to accommodate a crew of seven. Target operational date: 2015.
Blue Origin - The secretive Kent, Wash.-based company, started by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is working on a space vehicle that will carry seven crew members and is trying to develop a reusable first-stage booster to help get the vehicle to orbit relatively cheaply. Target operational date: 2016-2018.
ATK - The Arlington, Va.-based company is teaming with Lockheed Martin and the European aerospace firm Astrium to develop the Liberty Launch System, which includes a launch rocket and a capsule. ATK built the space shuttle's solid rocket boosters. Target operational date: 2016.
Excalibur Almaz - The Douglas, Isle of Man-based company wants to refurbish old space modules from the Soviet Union to build a spacecraft, using the time-tested nature of the equipment to its advantage.
United Launch Alliance — The Centennial-based company, a Boeing-Lockheed Martin joint venture, is seeking certification from NASA for its Atlas V launch vehicle for human spaceflight.

The IPO market, once left for dead, is now back! As of last month, we've seen the most IPO activity since 2007 when 33 companies went public. Year-to-date, the number of IPOs stands at 190, well ahead of this time last year. Let's focus on the 100% IPO gainers or as we call them the "100% Club."
Recent IPOs, including the Container Store (NYSE:TCS), have jumped over 100%, as well as Noodles & Company (NASDAQGS:NDLS), which also traded over 100% higher the day of its IPO debut in July. Potbelly (NASDAQGS:PBPB) was yet another recent IPO 100%+ gainer. Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) gained around 80% in its IPO launch today. Will the froth stick or wear off?
Continue Reading Below
Recent Specialty Retail IPO Valuations
Of course the justification of such one day pops is that the companies' earnings will grow into these lofty valuations. But with Noodles & Co.'s current EBITDA of just over $30.1MM on a share price that places the company's value at $1.3B (36x EBITDA), the company will need to grow earnings astronomically just to maintain current price levels. (To put this in perspective, Noodles & Co's EBITDA hasn't really grown much since 2010 when its EBITDA was $26.5MM). Needless to say there is a lot of room for downside surprise if these growth expectations are not met.
The Container Store is in a little better shape. With $87.6MM EBITDA TCS's multiple sits near a more manageable 20x EBITDA, but the company also holds a sizeable debt load and has seen its same store sales growth slow significantly as of late.
However, as we discussed on Valentine's Day in our article, "What do Earnings and Icarus Have in Common?" the market (NYSEARCA:VTI) has completely forgotten about earnings during the momentum meltup of the past few years anyways, so it is no surprise that these IPO investors are also throwing earnings to the wind as well.
As more and more IPOs come to market at valuations significantly higher than their market peers, one can't help but also wonder if this is just another sign the stock market has gotten too hot for its own good.
Specialty Grocers also Popped 100%
But, it doesn't end there as the grocery sector also remains on fire as it too has not been spared the IPO (NYSEARCA:FPX) hype either.
When Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQGS:SFM) went public in August, the organic and health food concept was able to attract enough money to shoot its stock up 100% by the opening of trading, closing 121% higher to $39.86.
Sprouts' story is like so many other IPOs, it all depends on the future growth of its stores, and its valuations show it with a P/E currently in the triple digits.
Other Specialty Grocers include Whole Foods (NASDAQGS:WFC), The Fresh Market (NASDAQGS:TFM), and Natural Grocers (NYSE:NGVC). While Whole Foods has been public for over 20 years, Fresh Market and Natural Grocers also had more recent IPOs.
On 11/5/2010 Fresh Market got a hefty first day pop of 46% above its IPO price. Two years later its stock is now up over 130% from its IPO price of $22 while it still sports a P/E of 36x earnings, and its Cash Flow has actually been declining the last two years.
Natural Grocer's IPO on 7/25/12 also saw a pop of 20% on its debut and has since risen another 100% nearing $40 and also still sporting a P/E near 100x.
Taking a step back fundamentally, the grocer market as a whole can really only grow at the rate of the population (a few % per year). This means in order to meet these growth rates, all these new entrants must eventually steal major market share from the majors such as Safeway (NYSE:SWY), Kroger (NYSE:KR), Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT), and a plethora of other public and private grocers.
Meanwhile, most of these majors have also started offering their own specialty food sections in an attempt to compete with all the new entrants.
Let's Go to the Tape
Having said all this, for most investors all that should matter is price, and right now price is in an uptrend so longs should stay long, at least for now.
A look at the chart below shows that the trend has certainly been a friend to the specialty grocers and in particular Whole Foods & the ETFs that hold some of these Specialty Grocers. But, caution should now reign supreme as recent price highs are being accompanied by something that hasn't occurred since the last major top in Whole Foods and the markets.
Whole Foods made a new high in 2004 around $24, but then after a pullback went on to make another new high at the end of 2005. However, that new price high was not accompanied by as much momentum, signaling the end of the trend and shown in the bottom portion of the chart.
A similar setup today exists in Whole Food's chart. In 2012 Whole Foods made a new all time high nearing $50, and then it pulled back into 2013. Since then it has also made a subsequent new high, but this time as well it is thus far accompanied by less momentum.
If price falls through the trendline that captures all of Whole Foods gains since the 2009 price low, it will be a sign that once again a new high accompanied by less interest is warning of a significant top in price.
The First Trust Consumer Staples ETF (NYSEARCA:FXG) holds companies such as Whole Foods & Sprouts in its portfolio. Whole Foods actually is its largest holding at 6.8% and is another way to play the Specialty Grocer sector.
FXG is also shown in the chart as it displays similar characteristics to Whole Foods. A breakdown in the high flying specialty grocer stocks, such as Whole Foods, would be a sign that FXG's run is also likely over.
Another ETF offering Specialty Grocers is (NYSEARCA:PMR) which includes Sprouts and Fresh Market in its holdings.
On 9/24 we made a similar observation with financial stocks in our article, "Rough Road Ahead?" when financial stocks were similarly close to breaking down from their long term trend. Since then the Financials Select Sector SPDR (NYSEARCA:XLF) has underperformed the S&P (NYSEARCA:SPY) for the first time since the March market top as investors continue to shift out of financials for other sectors.
A similar breakdown in Whole Food's trend may signal a similar fate of its underperformance going forward.

Right now the specialty retail trend is up, but similar to what happened in 2006 as well as more recently to financial stocks, a break in trend would be a bad omen for the 100% club.

Low priority question.
[I had thought I asked this question at one point, but a quick search came up blank, so if there is a repeated question, apologies]
Does Gracenote have the ATSC "program" values associated with the Major.Minor values (somewhat akin to DVB service-id)? We get the frequency (via uhfVhf), but not the program associates with the ATSC major/minor. While *many* programs are the same as the minor number (so channel 23.4 on uhfVhf 30 may be at 569Mhz, program 4, it could also be program 8).
Looking at the sample Gracenote data it does not appear that this info is available, but I figured I would ask (since I suspect their sample is not a complete set of what they offer).
If it *is* available, I would request that a very low priority change be added to the queue to add it to the returned data. The use case is "auto-tuning" or "auto-configuring" of applications [take the SD data and configure the app to tune to what the user requested]. (the particular use case would be MythTV, but (a) it is just an idea, and (b) there is no current support for it in there, so I would have to write it and submit it for consideration, and (c) there is no assurance that any code would get accepted). Since a lot of the use case is extremely theoretical at this point, the request really does need to be towards the bottom.

The Kunsthaus Zürich holds around 740 historic Dada documents and artworks: paintings, sculptures, photographs, works on paper, letters, books, magazines, flyers, posters and manuscripts. To mark 100 years of Dada all of them – with the exception of the paintings and sculptures – have been digitized, to conserve them and make them accessible to a global audience. One of the world's largest Dada collections is now online.
The project has been made possible thanks to support from the Ernst Göhner Foundation, Helvetia Insurance and the Federal Office of Culture FOC. The technical aspects of the operation were handled jointly with the digitization centre of Zurich Central Library..

Alexander Thompson, Ph.D. – Associate Professor of Political Science at Ohio State University
Tuesday March 06, 2012, 4:30-6:00 p.m.
This program is made possible by the generosity of Ms. Eloise Briskin and sponsored by the Center for Policy Studies at Case Western Reserve University.
A variety of political and legal institutions have been established over time to manage the issue of climate change at the global level, mostly centered on the UN. These institutions have varied in terms of the nature and depth of obligations they impose on states. The shallow and nonbinding Framework Convention on Climate Change (1992) was followed by the more legalized Kyoto Protocol, which in turn is being replaced by a more decentralized and flexible approach. Professor Thompson will describe these changes and offer an explanation for the design and evolution of climate institutions from the perspective of political and environmental effectiveness. He will also offer policy recommendations based on current problems in the regime and the political realities exposed by ongoing negotiations.
This program is made possible by the generosity of Ms. Eloise Briskin and sponsored by the Center for Policy Studies at Case Western Reserve University.
Additional Information About Our Guest…
Alexander Thompson's research focuses on international relations, especially in the area of international institutions and cooperation. His book, Channels of Power: The UN Security Council and U.S. Statecraft in Iraq (Cornell University Press, 2009), asks why powerful states often conduct coercive foreign policies through international organizations. Professor Thompson provides an information-based explanation and assesses arguments looking at U.S. policy toward Iraq from 1990 to the current intervention and its aftermath. Channels of Power won the International Studies Association's Chadwick F. Alger Prize for the best book on international organization and multilateralism and the Best Book Award from ISA-Midwest.
Much of Alexander Thompson's research addresses issues of institutional delegation and design at the international level, with recent and ongoing projects on the design of the global climate regime, the politics of investment treaty ratification, the domestic politics of legalization in the WTO, the principal-agent dynamics of multilateral weapons inspections, determinants of how international organizations perform, and the enforcement of international law. Professor Thompson also writes and speaks on the question of unilateralism versus multilateralism in U.S. foreign policy.

UPDATE 2: Ducati has just informed us that the Monster 796 is being considered an early 2011 model year motorcycle, we've update our post to reflect this.
UPDATE: Pricing for the 2011 Ducati Monster 796 will be $9,995 in the USA.
The rumor floodgates were wide-open this weekend about a possible late model entry by Ducati that would see the Italian company add a Monster 796 to its 2010 model lineup. We can now confirm that the 2011 Ducati Monster 796 has been added to the Monster product line, and will fit in-between the 696cc and 1100cc versions of the Monster.
The impetus for this late addition is reportedly because of poor sales in the 1100cc range of Monsters, which has prompted Ducati to further segment the line-up with a middle offering. The Monster is actually Ducati's best selling line of motorcycle, and the brand is keen to maximize its return on the newly updated design, and is seemingly pinning its hopes on this late entry. Video, photos, and more of the 2011 Ducati Monster 796 below.

Gizmox is now previewing its Visual WebGui (VWG) Enterprise Mobile platform for .NET developers. With this product the company says it is targeting the "data-centric" mobile enterprise HTML5 cross-platform application market. Aside from its marketing spin, we can probably assume that the company is also focused on the mobile enterprise app market as a whole, whether it is ranked as data-centric or not.
Gizmox's use of "cross platform" extends to iOS, Android, and every W3C browser. In something of an attempt to combat security fears thrown up by the "Bring Your Own Device" trend, the firm is positioning its technology as a means of extending custom-built client/server applications to mobile devices and tablets while retaining data/IP security and support.
"Currently there are 60 billion Microsoft-based lines of code applications within enterprises, and the Gizmox Enterprise mobile framework enables developers to write mobile accessibility and make those applications available on HTML5 devices," said Navot Peled, Gizmox CEO.
"Analysts predict that HTML5 will be adopted by more than 61% of enterprises in the next two years. This release of VWG Enterprise Mobile brings a much-needed solution for .NET developers that will let them begin building cross-platform secured-by-design HTML5 mobile apps that extend existing enterprise apps," he added.
The preview version includes a suite of tools that enable developers to start building applications now, including:
- Visual Drag and Drop Form-based Designer
- Point-and-Click Theme Designer
- Designated Mobile Control Suite
- Ajax-based communication
- Simple data binding
Gizmox insists that its VWG Enterprise Mobile is "secure by design", with applications running on the server behind the firewall. On the client side, applications are more responsive because the user interface (UI) renders on the device browser using meta-data command-level communication for the lowest web protocol available today — 10% of the bandwidth used traditionally by the Web.

Breast Female Liposuction
Most women observe that their breasts either go oversize or become droopy after a certain age. Also, child bearing makes many women insecure about their breast contour as in most cases, breasts lose firmness. Since breasts are an essential bodily feature for women, the shape and size of it really matters and also the elasticity. With extremely large breasts, which are usually an outcome of pregnancy or obesity sometimes, tend to cause back-pain, neck pain, etc. Breast female liposuction can be of a great help to contour these issues.
During the procedure, a general anesthetic is given to keep you asleep throughout the procedure. Incisions will be made either around the areola (area around the nipple), vertically from the bottom edge of the areola to the crease underneath the breast or horizontally beneath the breast, following the natural curve of the breast crease. The excessive breast tissue only is removed without damaging any other muscles or glands. After your Cosmetic Surgeon has removed excess breast tissue, fat and skin, the nipple and areola are moved to a higher position. Opt for breast female liposuction and enjoy the benefits of proportionate breasts.
One of the important reasons to fly to India for surgery is to save duty, which is imposed otherwise on cosmetic surgeries done in other countries. Cosmetic Surgery in Mumbai, India costs relatively less compared to regions like the Kenya and other parts of the world. Medical tourists from Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru travel the most to India.
This is a right time to book your tickets!
Key factors:
- > Affordable
- > Safe and effective
- > Feel at home atmosphere

Two top middleweight contenders will meet in December at UFC 155 when Chris Weidman (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) takes on Tim Boetsch (16-4 MMA, 7-3 UFC).
Multiple outlets, including foxsports.com and newsday.com, today reported that verbal agreements are in place. MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) subsequently confirmed it, and UFC executives have made it official.
The fight will be part of the main card of UFC 155, which takes place Dec. 29 in Las Vegas at a venue to be announced.
The main card, including a heavyweight title fight between champion Junior Dos Santos and former titleholder Cain Velasquez, airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.
Weidman, who had hoped a recent beatdown of highly ranked Mark Munoz would give him a shot at champion Anderson Silva's middleweight title, instead will look to continue his unbeaten run intact when he meets a fellow contender. Weidman, an NCAA Division I All-American wrestler, is a little more than three years into his pro career. He joined the UFC in early 2011 and posted dive straight wins while knocking off notables Demian Maia and Munoz in his most recent appearances.
He takes on Boetsch, who's 5-1 in his most recent UFC stint (and 8-1 since a UFC 96 loss to Jason Brilz). However, Boetsch, a fellow Division I wrestler, has really hit his stride since a move down from light heavyweight. Since that drop in weight class, he's posted consecutive wins over Kendall Grove, Nick Ring, former title challenger Yushin Okami and ex-Bellator champ Hector Lombard.
The latest UFC 155 card now includes:
- Champ Junior Dos Santos vs. Cain Velasquez – for heavyweight title*
- Tim Boetsch vs. Chris Weidman
- Forrest Griffin vs. Chael Sonnen*
- Joe Lauzon vs. Gray Maynard
- Phil De Fries vs. Matt Mitrione
* – Not officially announced
For more on UFC 155, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

New De-icing Truck Arrives at Aberdeen Airport
ABERDEEN - Flights out of Aberdeen Regional Airport have returned to normal after the arrival of a new de-icing truck.
The American News reports that a plane that flew out Wednesday afternoon had been at the airport since Tuesday and had not been able to depart because the airport did not have a de-icer. A Wednesday morning flight had to be canceled, and Delta Air Lines hired a bus to take passengers to Minneapolis.
The airport's de-icing truck stopped working over the weekend, disrupting several flights. A new one was brought from Omaha, Neb.

Illinois State Police found an 8-year-old Palatine boy who had been missing since Thursday night and was the subject of an AMBER Alert.
Eriberto Perez was in a car with 30-year-old William Cruz, who police were also looking for, that was pulled over near the intersection of Springfield Avenue and Madison Street on Chicago's West Side about 9:45 p.m. Friday.
Cruz, 30, is being questioned by police.
The boy was taken to an area hospital but Palatine police said he was "doing fine."
Eriberto's mother gave Cruz, her boyfriend, permission to take the boy to the grocery store, according to the AMBER Alert.
The two didn't return as expected and when she reached Cruz, he said they were going to visit family in Chicago.
Eriberto's mother told him to bring the boy home – Cruz didn't – and his phone was turned off, according to the alert.
