Wrestling completed an unprecedented Olympic comeback on Sunday, reclaiming its spot in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after beating bids from rivals squash and baseball/softball in an International Olympic Committee vote.
Wrestling, which featured in the ancient Olympics and in every modern Games apart from 1900, had been surprisingly taken off the Games in February as the IOC looked to refresh its sports programme.
"I want to offer my sincere gratitude to each member of the International Olympic Committee that voted to save Olympic wrestling today," a delighted international wrestling federation (FILA) president Nenad Lalovic told reporters seconds after the vote.
He had taken over in February after their Olympic exit and has been credited with bringing the sport back into contention after wrestling made a shortlist of candidate sports in May.
"With this vote, you have shown that the steps we have taken to improve our sport have made a difference. I assure each of you that our modernization will not stop now. We will continue to strive to be the best partner to the Olympic Movement that we can be."
Sunday's result marks a sensational turnaround for the sport which overhauled its rules, administration, gender equity and operations following its shock exclusion.
Wrestling, which had received glowing support from IOC members who were stunned by the Executive Board decision in February, after its changes, won an outright majority of votes in the first round.
The sport got 49 of 95 votes, with baseball/softball earning 24 and squash landing 22 votes from the IOC members.
The result was crushing news for both of the others sports that have been trying to win a spot in the Games for as much as a decade.
Baseball and softball, Olympic sports until the 2008 Beijing Games, hoped for a return to the Olympic fold while squash, the only one not to have featured in the Olympics was making its third consecutive bid after 2005 and 2009.

FrontPage has posted an informative column by David Hornik on the continuing Israeli struggle against terrorism: "Intifada ad infinitum." Hornik concludes with a summary of events related to the Rafah crossing:
The Rafah crossing opened for the first time on Saturday under the new arrangement whereby the Palestinians are responsible for who enters, apart from farcical European monitoring. Some 1,500 Palestinians entered from Egyptian Sinai in the course of the day, compared to an average of 400 per day when Israel was in charge of the crossing.
Abbas, speaking at the inauguration ceremony, said the opening was part of our progress on the way to an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. He added, The achievement were celebrating today belongs first and foremost to the martyrs, wounded, prisoners, and all Palestinians who have sacrificed plenty in this struggle. Also present was Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar, who called the opening a victory for the Palestinians. The Jerusalem Posts indispensable Khaled Abu Toameh reports that Mohammed Dahlan, the PAs minister of civil affairs, said that Palestinians would be able to cross the border without Israeli intervention. The PA, for its part, wont prevent any Palestinian from crossing the border, he stressed.
Another story by Toameh published a day before the formal opening of the Rafah crossing gives a foretaste of what that means. It announces that Rafik al-Hasanat, a senior member of Hamas who has been wanted by Israel for more than a decade, on Wednesday night returned to the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing. Hasanat had fled to Egypt back in 1993 and since then was in hiding in Sudan, Yemen, Libya, and Jordan. But his days on the run are now over, and hundreds of Hamas activists chanting slogans in support of the Islamic movement welcomed [him] home.
Sources close to Hamas, Toameh notes, said many of its activists, including top leaders, have managed to return to the Gaza Strip since the Israeli pullout. They include one of the organization's founders, Sheikh Ahmed al-Milh, who came back to Gaza after 20 years in different Arab countries.
Under the terms of the same agreement, brokered by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, by which Rafah opened for heavy traffic on Saturday, dozens of buses and trucks will soon be crossing Israel from Gaza to the West Bank daily. That their freight will include fresh terrorist cadres, and weapons for their use, is as certain as the sun setting in the West. No less certain is that the Israeli army will keep having plenty of work to do, Israeli civilians will keep being endangered, and that the unilateral cession of Gaza set it all in motion. International pressure will make sure this process continues eternally, if Israel bows to it.
The agreements brokered by Secretary Rice appear therefore already to have complicated and worsened Israel's security situation. On a related note, Daniel Pipes looks at the prospects for Prime Minister Sharon's new political party: "Ariel Sharon, escapist." Pipes explores the question whether the party is "escapist" in the context of comparable parties in Israeli politics.

Could The Help Of Kitchen Rehab Centers Save Your Kitchen in Berryessa, California?
Your kitchen is one of the two most visited rooms in the house. And it's not only being used by members of your immediate household. So you not only want your kitchen to be functional, you want it to be an attractive, pleasant place to be. One that is easily accessible to everyone using it, and a kitchen that's easy to clean and offers plenty of storage space. Stand in the middle of your kitchen now and take a look around it. With an uncritical an eye as you can manage, does your kitchen fit this bill? Or is it in need of a kitchen remodel? You may have been surfing the Web, reading a magazine, or watching a television program, and seen how a contractor can rescue an out of date or dilapidated kitchen. The before and after pictures are amazing. But you're worried about how expensive these renovations will be. And it's not just the cost that concerns you. Your kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your house. Won't an involved kitchen rehab project make it unusable for an extended period of time? Won't it create dust, debris, and fume issues in other parts of your home in California? But homeowners may be pleasantly surprised to discover that the right kitchen rehab center offers its clients not only great looking kitchens, but ones done in a timely, effective manner by licensed and professional craftspeople who understand just how important your kitchen is to you. That's why they'll work on and around your household's schedule to insure that not only the end result is a pleasant experience, the entire process is. Read on to learn more about how kitchen rehab centers in Berryessa, California can make the all-important kitchen even more so.
What You Should Know About Kitchen Rehab Centers in Berryessa, California Before Beginning
Some individuals find the prospect of working with contractors daunting, but this process shouldn't be. As exciting, easy, and money-saving as all those reality shows featuring brave DIYers make self renovations seem, it's important to note that these upgrades are actually being done by-professional contractors! And a good thing too, as renovations done by well-intentioned but inexperienced amateur remodelers can result in:
Many homeowners assume that this means that one of the costs of doing business with kitchen rehab centers in Berryessa, California is that they must totally put themselves in the hands of technicians there and let them run the show. It's true that when you work with these companies, you're working with individuals whose knowledge of everything from building code to wood choices far outstrips that of the average homeowner. But those who work with kitchen rehab centers can rest assured that their opinions, choices, and suggestions will be very much part of the rehabilitation process. Contractors working for them just don't announce to clients what potential designs for small kitchens will be, for example. The client very much has input in the design process, and this applies to both individual homeowners and small companies. Kitchen rehab centers in Berryessa, California are aware that if it's a product that no one will use, it's not worth doing. Aside from being worried about cost, restricted access to work areas, and losing control of a desired project, homeowners often don't undertake them because they think "there's no one near me" that can do this. But local kitchen rehab centers can be located in many communities:
What Kitchen Rehab Centers in Berryessa, California Need To Guarantee Successful Project Outcomes
The professional installation and guidance expertise kitchen rehab centers bring to projects insures that homeowners and businesses alike will get the kitchens that they want. But again, this is a partnership. Clients for their part should be prepared to do some research and gather information to avoid surprises and delays and make sure that they're getting the kitchen that they want. What are some things that clients can do to expedite the actual remodeling process?
It's possible to be on a budget and still have professional kitchen remodeling done in Berryessa, California. Homeowners should have a fairly firm idea of what they are able to spend at any one time on a remodeling project before seeking out a consultation. This price should include both labor and supplies. Once they've determined what they want and can afford, it's time to look for companies offering such services and obtain an estimate on the cost of a kitchen remodel. Homeowners can help themselves and contractors by providing them with information on the layout of the area to be remodeled, in addition to providing floor plans and pics of the area. And because this is your money that will be financing this project, there's nothing wrong with comparison shopping to get the best prices before venturing forth on it.
Finding a remodeling project that is within your budget is very important, but equally important is finding a team that you can partner well with. Good communications are key. The process can begin by typing "contractors near me" into a computer search engine. But among the tips recommended in finding the right kitchen rehab center is creating a checklist and carefully reviewing answers before making a decision. Items that should always be on it concern a contractor's experience, references, and proof of insurance and licensing. But is a contractor comfortable working on projects big and small? Will this contractor provide a planner to explain and review all plans before proceeding with work? Can they accommodate changes that clients might want and work to find acceptable alternatives if not?
There's just no escaping the fact that you won't be getting your fabulous new kitchen without some dirt, noise, and household disruption first. How much and for how long will depend on the size of the project and how easy it is for contractors and clients to stay out of each other's way. To this end, your kitchen rehab specialist planner will be providing you with a schedule before work commences to help households understand the steps of the process. This schedule helps clients to understand what areas will and won't be available to them, and what deliveries may need to be made directly to the home in California. Clients in turn should make sure kitchen rehab centers are aware of household events that could delay or cause a needed restructuring of work. And while kitchen rehab centers in Berryessa, California generally indicate in writing what their debris removal and clean-up obligations are to clients, clients should make sure that they get and retain a copy of this until the project is fully completed.

Lobhill Farmhouse Summerhouse
4.9 out of 5 stars
5 out of 5 starsposted 8 months ago
This is a truly an outstanding Bed and Breakfast establishment which goes over what one would expect.
The proprietor Jane was so warm and welcoming and showed me to my wonderful room which had a lovely balcony over looking the Summer House and the lovely gardens and country side.
Jane advised me she was going to bring to my room some fresh milk in a flask for tea and coffee and bake some fresh biscuits which were delightful.
Also had some lovely home made fudge in the room too. Delicious.
The very large room and bathroom with bath and separate large shower wax spotlessly clean.
Plenty of plugs in the room too.
The room also had , bathrobes, hairdryer and tea and coffee facilities.
I have stayed in many bed and breakfast before however this is truly the best I have stayed in by far.
The breakfast was cooked freshly in the lovely designed kitchen/ breakfast room with all local produce and home made bread and it was presented 1st class and tasted as good as it looked . Delicious.
I cannot wait to return, however would love to stay for a week as it was so amazing.
One point to mention. The bed was so comfortable I could have stayed there till lunch time.
Thank you Jane as you have a wonderful Business which you should be very proud of.
I prefer Bed and Breakfasts than corporate hotels as the atmosphere is more friendly and personal in a Bed and Breakfast.
Lobhill Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast, I will return very soon. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality Bed and Breakfast
Thank you.
Lord John Collier.
My stay was wonderful - fabulous house, location and gorgeous surrounding scenery. The room itself was warm and welcoming - equipped with a lovely selection on tea, fudge and warm biscuits on arrival. Also was comforting to be given a fluffy bathrobe for the duration of my stay. I would definitely come back - thank you Jane!

Welcome to The Inside Perspective
Welcome! The Inside Perspective is a new series on PC Perspective that will take you further behind the scenes of the industry than we typically go, with interviews of industry personnel. I hope you find these discussions to be both informative as well as eye opening into the world behind the reviews, behind the press releases and the marketing speak that everyone sees on a daily basis. http://pcper.com/tip
The Inside Perspective 001 - Antec's Jessie Lawrence
Antec was at one time the leader in enthusiast and gamer case design and much of what the company built years ago, like the P180 series, has endured years of modifications to remain relevant and these chassis remain some of the favorites of our staff. However, in the past several years, the case world has seen new entrants, new designs and new feature sets that Antec has been slow to adopt and as such they have fallen out of the leaders position in the mind-set of enthusiasts, even if they haven't in sales in revenue.
With the release of the new P280 and Eleven Hundred cases though (the former of which we have already reviewed) Antec is hoping to make a resurgence into the enthusiast market. And while I definitely was impressed with the P280 there is still some work to do and, luckily, Antec knows it and is moving forward in the right direction.
Recently, Antec's Communications Manager Jessie Lawrence stopped by the office and we sat down for a small interview to ask him about the new case designs, what he likes about working in this cut throat industry and how Antec plans to stem the tides against the competition.
While we are getting The Inside Perspective started, we are including it in our PC Perspective Podcast RSS feed.

Abstract: We study the roughening transition of an interface in an Ising system on a 3D simple cubic lattice using a finite size scaling method. The particular method has recently been proposed and successfully tested for various solid on solid models. The basic idea is the matching of the renormalization-groupflow of the interface with that of the exactly solvable body centered cubic solid on solid model. We unambiguously confirm the Kosterlitz-Thouless nature of the roughening transition of the Ising interface. Our result for the inverse transition temperature K_R = 0.40754(5) is almost by two orders of magnitude more accurate than the estimate of Mon, Landau and Stauffer [9].
Sigma models with A_k singularities in Euclidean spacetime of dimension 0<=D<4 and in the limit N->infinity (1996)
For the case of the single-O(N)-vector linear sigma models the critical behaviour following from any A_k singularity in the action is worked out in the double scaling limit N->infinity, f_r -> f_r^c, 2 <= r <= k. After an exact elimination of Gaussian degrees of freedom, the critical objects such as coupling constants, indices and susceptibility matrix are derived for all A_k and spacetime dimensions 0 <= D <= 4. There appear exceptional spacetime dimensions where the degree k of the singularity A_k is more strongly constrained than by the renormalizability requirement.
A new look at the RST model (1996)
The RST model is augmented by the addition of a scalar field and a boundary term so that it is well-posed and local. Expressing the RST action in terms of the ADM formulation, the constraint structure can be analysed completely. It is shown that from the view point of local field theories, there exists a hidden dynamical field 1 in the RST model. Thanks to the presence of this hidden dynamical field, we can reconstruct the closed algebra of the constraints which guarantee the general invariance of the RST action. The resulting stress tensors TSigma Sigma are recovered to be true tensor quantities. Especially, the part of the stress tensors for the hidden dynamical field 1 gives the precise expression for tSigma . At the quantum level, the cancellation condition for the total central charge is reexamined. Finally, with the help of the hidden dynamical field 1, the fact that the semi-classical static soluti on of the RST model has two independent parameters (P,M), whereas for the classical CGHS model there is only one, can be explained.
Significance of zero modes in path-integral quantization of solitonic theories with BRST invariance (1996)
The significance of zero modes in the path-integral quantization of some solitonic models is investigated. In particular a Skyrme-like theory with topological vortices in (1 + 2) dimensions is studied, and with a BRST invariant gauge fixing a well defined transition amplitude is obtained in the one loop approximation. We also present an alternative method which does not necessitate evoking the time-dependence in the functional integral, but is equivalent to the original one in dealing with the quantization in the background of the static classical solution of the non-linear field equations. The considerations given here are particularly useful in - but also limited to -the one-loop approximation.
The constraint structure of the induced 2D-gravity with the Weyl and area-preserving diffeomorphism invariances is analysed in the ADM formulation. It is found that when the area-preserving diffeomorphism constraints are kept, the usual conformal gauge does not exist, whereas there is the possibility to choose the so-called "quasi-light-cone" gauge, in which besides the area-preserving diffeomorphism invariance, the reduced Lagrangian also possesses the SL(2,R) residual symmetry. This observation indicates that the claimed correspondence between the SL(2,R) residual symmetry and the area-preserving diffeomorphism invariance in both regularisation approaches does not hold. The string-like approach is then applied to quantise this model, but a fictitious non-zero central charge in the Virasoro algebra appears. When a set of gauge-independent SL(2,R) current-like fields is introduced instead of the string-like variables, a consistent quantum theory is obtained, which means that the area-preserving diffeomorphism invariance can be maintained at the quantum level.
Batalin-Vilkovisky field-antifield quantisation of fluctuations around classical field configurations (1996)
The Lagrangian field-antifield formalism of Batalin and Vilkovisky (BV) is used to investigate the application of the collec- tive coordinate method to soliton quantisation. In field theories with soliton solutions, the Gaussian fluctuation operator has zero modes due to the breakdown of global symmetries of the Lagrangian in the soliton solutions. It is shown how Noether identities and local symmetries of the Lagrangian arise when collective coordinates are introduced in order to avoid divergences related to these zero modes. This transformation to collective and fluctuation degrees of freedom is interpreted as a canonical transformation in the symplectic field-antifield space which induces a time-local gauge symmetry. Separating the corresponding Lagrangian path integral of the BV scheme in lowest order into harmonic quantum fluctuations and a free motion of the collective coordinate with the classical mass of the soliton, we show how the BV approach clarifies the relation between zero modes, collective coordinates, gauge invariance and the center- of-mass motion of classical solutions in quantum fields. Finally, we apply the procedure to the reduced nonlinear O(3) oe-model.^L
Quantum tunneling between degenerate ground states through the central barrier of a potential is extended to excited states with the instanton method. This extension is achieved with the help of an LSZ reduction technique as in field theory and may be of importance in the study of macroscopic quantum phenomena in magnetic systems.
Application of Instatons: Quenching Of Macroscopic Quantum Coherence And Macroscopic Fermi-Particle Configurations (1996)
Starting from the coherent state representation of the evolution operator with the help of the path-integral, we derive a formula for the low-lying levels E = ffl0 Gamma 24ffl cos(s + ,)ss of a quantum spin system. The quenching of macroscopic quantum coherence is understood as the vanishing of cos(s + ,)ss in disagreement with the suppression of tunneling (i.e. 4ffl = 0) as claimed in the literature. A new configuration called the macroscopic Fermi-particle is suggested by the character of its wave function. The tunne- ling rate ( 24fflss ) does not vanish, not for integer spin s nor for a half-integer value of s, and is calculated explicitly (for the position dependent mass) up to the one-loop approximation.

I have a really nasty problem when printing with Ubuntu 12.04 x64 : Text resolution is wrong ; bitmaps and vector graphics print perfectly at 2400 or 600 dpi, but text does not. It looks ugly, resolution feels really low.
When using Inkscape, turning texts into paths before printing solves the problem (of course, this is not an interesting workaround for everyday use).
The printer, a Brother HL4150CDN, is used with CUPS, connected to ethernet port, and fails whatever network address (LPD or IPP) is configured in CUPS. I can print from anywhere (Firefox, Inkscape, Evince), it still fails with texts. Printer test page outputs successfully.
The problem depends on the font used : Arial goes wrong, but Nimbus Roman feels right (some fonts are probably subtitued by the printer ?), that is probably why Courrier text whithin printer test page is correctly printed.
I tried to reproduce this problem with previous versions of Ubuntu without success. I tried fresh installs of ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 desktop amd64 with updates, and with the Brother driver : the problem is always there on 12.04, never on 11.10.
The currently installed driver is the official Brother driver with PPD files, and the ia32-libs dependancy :
Here is a scan of a really poor quality aliased text output with quality settings at 2400x600 dpi. Grid lines are spaced 0,1 in (printed from Inkscape) and i can count about 10 pixels between the lines, so the effective resolution is about 100 dpi : http://imgur.com/Y3PDd
I captured data exchanged between computer and printer with wireshark, to compare the working version, with the buggy one. The headers are the same, but binary data are different ; screenshot using kdiff here : http://imgur.com/ilAtn
This probably affects other printers. However, "print to pdf" and HP deskjet 920C are not affected by this.
The questions are : How to investigate such a problem ? where can I find different settings explaining this terrible result when using Ubuntu 12.04, when comparing to 11.10 ? where to look at ? which files can I compare or edit to fix this kind of problem ?
ps: couldn't find a launchpad bug related to this problem (will probably submit one; but I am willing to investigate this, and learn btw)

Facebook's Audience Reach Bug Wreaks Havoc
Your last few social media posts on Facebook might have performed better than was actually reported.
Facebook indicated, in a blog past last Friday, that coding errors misrepresented actual audience reach metrics on posts since sometime last year. Facebook says these issues only impacted reporting and not delivery but not everyone is a believer, and it's sparked a bit of a virtual firestorm.
But what can you expect moving forward? Most Page owners can expect the total reach of their posts to stay the same or increase, according to Facebook, which also said it expects an increase in paid reach if advertisers ran News Feed ads. There may also be an increase or decrease in organic reach, "depending on many factors such as the composition of your fan base, when and how often you post and your spending patterns," according to the social network.
I appreciate that Facebook brought this to light on their own volition, but it seems rathers suspect to not (in any way mind you) indicate that refunds could be in order. Yes, Facebook says that the coding errors didn't impact delivery, but it most certainly (and very clearly) impacted reporting. And when you are making decisions based on bad data, you're not going to make the right decision when it comes to your audience, your campaign, or your budget.

UW's New Turf Gets National Recognition
The college football world is noticing the new turf at the University of Wyoming.
In a recent article, Yahoo Sports compiled a list of their favorite "non-traditional" college football fields. The new turf at UW, which was installed this summer, made the top 6.
Yahoo Sports added "The mountains in the end zone are a nice touch; if some Cowboy doesn't incorporate them into an end-zone celebration, we'll be disappointed."
The field includes over 750,000 pounds of crushed rubber to provide cushioning to the playing surface. The cost of the new field was $500,000 that came from self-generated dollars. No state funds were used in the project.
Wyoming football kicks off August 31st at Nebraska. The home opener and first game ever on the turf is September 7th versus Idaho.
Also on the list was Boise State's famous blue turf, the large lion logo at Texas A&M-Commerce, Eastern Washington's orange turf, Lindenwood University's striped field, and Central Arkansas purple and gray turf.

Service Facilities - Size and Location
The Board of Trustees of the St. Charles City-County Library District recognizes that the predominant service area of the District is an extension of the St. Louis Metropolitan Statistical Area and that access to the many varied and specialized collections made available through the District's membership in formal and informal networking arrangements, as well as the burgeoning variety of materials available on sources such as the Internet, negates the necessity for the District to develop a single central resource collection.
The District's physical plant will, therefore, consist of the following facilities:
A. Three regional branch facilities facilities consisting of 175,000-225,000 volumes* and containing specialized in-depth collections.
1. The Kathryn Linnemann Branch specializing in local history and genealogical support materials.
2. The Middendorf-Kredell Branch specializing in documents, including geographical informational services. Documents, may however, be placed at multiple locations within the District to best serve customers with specialized needs.
3. The Spencer Road Branch specializing in materials and services designed to assist local both nonprofit corporations, and business and public management enterprises.
B. Four general purpose branch facilities consisting of 75,000-100,000 volumes* of general interest.
The remainder of the county will be served by a mix of services, which, at the discretion of the Board may consist of the following.
In addition, the District shall make an active investment in cooperative programs to develop a dynamic informational infrastructure for county residents. This shall be done through intertgovernmental cooperation. A community information system with Internet gateway, and cooperative acquisition of documents and g.i.s materials accessible through other public agencies shall be emphasized.
Administrative facilities, processing, etc. are to be considered logistical components of the public service functions inherent to the Library District, and as such may or may not be physically located with a branch facility. In no case will the physical proximity of administrative offices or logistical services to any library facility be construed as a determination that any library within the District be considered as a headquarters or main resource center.

Meet Zahida, a beautiful little girl who showed up at my doorstep this morning.
Zahida was hungry and asked for something to eat.
I noticed her beautiful colored eyes and beautiful curled hair and decided to do a quick portrait.
She belongs to the city of Larkana and comes to Quetta during the summer season to make ends meet (these children are street beggars)
I couldn't help but take photos with my d7000 as well as the olympus ep2 cameras :)
on the d7000, i had on the 85mm f/1.8 lens, giving me good portrait reach roughly at 135mm :)
on the ep2 though, i had on my favorite Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 manual focus lens, giving me 100mm reach :) Lucky with the cameras huh? ;)
I hope and pray that she has a wonderful future ahead of her and that the rest of her life is as beautiful as she herself is.
I wish i could help her with more than just a meal and a dairy milk chocolate...
thanks for viewing :) let's see what you think :)

Former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner didn't fully understand the potential financial damage caused by the implosion of insurance giant American International Group (NYSE:AIG) until the company was insolvent, and only then did he scramble to extend a controversial lifeline designed to help avert a broader demise of the financial system during the 2008 financial crisis.
Continue Reading Below
That's the upshot from Geithner's sealed deposition in connection with a lawsuit filed in federal court by former AIG chief Hank Greenberg against the U.S. government over the legality of the government's bailout of the insurance giant. The deposition covers Geithner's role as New York Federal Reserve president when he was one of three top regulators in charge of the bailout of the banks during the financial crisis.
Geithner's deposition -- reviewed for the first time by FOX Business -- provides a somewhat different take on his actions during the financial crisis than what appears in his new memoir, "Stress Test: Reflections on Financial Crisis." In the book, Geithner portrays himself as having a firm grasp of the simmering financial crisis beginning with the March 2008 collapse of investment bank Bear Stearns.
But according to his deposition, Geithner's knowledge of AIG -- and its importance to the financial system -- was less complete. AIG insured much of the toxic debt held by the big banks, meaning if the insurer was allowed to collapse, many of the nation's top banks would fall into insolvency as they began to take losses.
Geithner said in his deposition that he met with former AIG chief executive Robert Willumstad at least three times during the summer and fall of 2008, brushed aside pleas from the company for aid and only began to focus on AIG's problems after Lehman collapsed in mid-September of that year and the financial crisis went full throttle.
Along with former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke and former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, Geithner would eventually develop a plan to secure hundreds of billions of dollars in aid to prop up the trouble banking system. Geithner's efforts would propel him to an even bigger job as President Obama's Treasury Secretary in January of 2009, a job he kept until 2013 when he resigned to take a position at private equity firm Warburg Pincus.
Geithner, through a spokeswoman, declined numerous requests to comment, as did Paulson and Bernanke. Since leaving office, Paulson has published his own account of the financial crisis while Bernanke has said he will release his own account in the near future.
Paulson and Bernanke have also provided depositions as part of the Greenberg lawsuit, but after reviewing these documents, Geithner emerges as the most important player in the bailout drama. In fact, Bernanke suggested in his deposition that he agreed to the wider bailouts of the big banks as well as AIG largely after consultation with Geithner.
Paulson, meanwhile, appears to be the most politically astute of the regulators as he attempted to forge bipartisan support for the various bailout packages that emerged that year. Paulson is said to have briefed then House speaker Nancy Pelosi, and then House minority leader John Boehner, about a sweeping bailout plan.
Both told him they supported the effort formally known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, which was initially rejected by Congress before its ultimate legislative approval.
But the main focus of the depositions is the government's bailout of AIG -- and whether, as Greenberg contends, the government's efforts to prop up the insurer in 2008 were illegal because they were overly punitive to AIG shareholders like him compared to the other bailout recipients.
By virtue of the AIG bailout, firms like Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) received billions of dollars in indirect assistance as AIG was make able to good on insurance contracts that covered toxic debt held by the banks.
Financial institutions such as Goldman and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) also received direct capital infusions from the government and shareholders of these and other banks recovered much of their losses as the financial system improved and the firms repaid government bailout money.
Since the terms of AIG's bailout were more onerous, shareholders like Greenberg -- the former CEO who was ousted from the insurer in 2005 amid regulatory pressure -- suffered huge losses. Still, both Geithner and Bernanke defended their actions in response to questions from Greenberg's attorney David Boies, the depositions show.
In his deposition, Geithner described his meetings during the summer and fall of 2008 with AIG chief Willumstad, who explained the increasingly difficult financial situation the company faced. Geithner, in his deposition, said Willumstad had told him during their last meeting -- just days before the September 15 collapse of Lehman Brothers -- that the insurer was on the verge of collapse as well and had become insolvent.
So what prevented an immediate bailout of AIG along the lines of what eventually took place with the big banks? The depositions show that Geithner as well as Bernanke worried about setting the precedent of moral hazard where firms suffer no consequence for excessive risk taking. The moral hazard dilemma was the principle reason government regulators allowed Lehman Brothers to fail after a private-sector bailout attempt couldn't be reached.
But regulators had other concerns; the depositions show that Geithner and Bernanke questioned whether a loan to AIG would be properly secured so the taxpayers could recoup their money. Moreover, Geithner suggests in his deposition he didn't fully understand the degree to which AIG's demise would impact other banks until after Lehman fell.
Lehman filed for bankruptcy on Monday, September 15, 2008, and its downfall is considered one of the main triggers of the broader collapse of the nation's banking system.
Another major trigger was AIG's demise. Geithner said in his deposition that he hadn't focused on AIG's problems until the weekend of the Lehman collapse, though he was being briefed on it by his staff.
He finally came to the decision that AIG needed government assistance "Sunday or early Monday." It was at that time, depositions show, that regulators determined that "the equity in AIG was around zero" and by saving AIG they could prevent the financial crisis from spreading.
The official decision to bail out AIG came during a hastily called meeting of the Federal Reserve Board on September 16, depositions show. That's when Geithner proposed a take-it-or-leave it deal to AIG officials in which the federal government would own more than 70% of the company, thus nearly wiping out the value of stock held by shareholders but saving the company from bankruptcy.
The bailout would become one of the most debated parts of the federal government's response to the financial crisis; the government would essentially cover all of AIG obligations to big banks and own one of the world's largest insurers, thus handing them billions of dollars in aid.
The effort also slowed down the spreading financial collapse, paving the way for a bigger bailout in the following days known as TARP, when it became clear the banking crisis could plunge the country into another Great Depression.
But Geithner's deposition in the AIG lawsuit will likely provide ammunition to those who believe he was caught off guard by the troubles in the financial system and then used the power of the government to support Wall Street.
What made AIG so important to the financial system was a little known business of insuring debt held by banks through a derivative known as the credit default swap. Thus, if AIG fell, those bonds would be declared worthless. The big banks would have to write down massive losses, leading to their insolvency.
But the depositions show that regulators had no clear idea the full extent of AIG's exposure to such instruments -- or how much the banking industry relied of this form of insurance -- at least until the financial system started to unravel in mid-September 2008.
Nor did they attempt a possible private-sector bailout of AIG until the crisis hit. Regulators, for instance, did not seriously consider a plan by Greenberg's to have a large Chinese bank provide a rescue package, the depositions show.
Geithner readily admits as much in his deposition, stating that he personally "did not spend time" during the Lehman crisis that occurred during the weekend before its September 15, 2008, bankruptcy "looking at AIG."
Geithner, according to his deposition, believed "it wasn't appropriate to bail out AIG" because unlike other big firms AIG was an insurance company and not a bank, one person with direct knowledge of the deposition said.
Bernanke in his deposition said a government bailout in terms of a loan to AIG posed significant risk to the taxpayer given AIG's troubled status.
But AIG wasn't an ordinary insurance company. Once Lehman collapsed, the financial system began to shut down, putting every major bank on the verge of collapse as large creditors refused to lend money and the markets started to tank. The final straw to a broader demise was AIG which had insured much of the troubled debt held by the banks.
One major worry for regulators was Citigroup (NYSE:C), once the nation's largest bank, which held nearly a $1 trillion in customer deposits that the government insured. Paulson believed Citigroup would become insolvent even after the initial round of bailouts in September 2008, but also in late November of that year, the depositions reveal.
Geithner said in his deposition that he received word that two of the largest investment banks were likely to fail as well. In his deposition, he said officials at Morgan Stanley were worried the firm would soon implode as Lehman had, and that Goldman was then "freaking" that it too would be "toast," his deposition shows.
One of the remedies offered by regulators was to allow Morgan Stanley and Goldman to become bank holding companies with access to credit from the Federal Reserve lending. Both would later receive billions of dollars in government assistance to remain afloat, as well as indirect aid from the AIG bailout.
The notion that officials at Goldman believed that the firm was also heading for insolvency during the crisis days runs counter to the post-bailout narrative offered by senior Goldman Sachs officials including CEO Lloyd Blankfein that the firm had strong enough finances to survive and that its exposure to AIG was largely hedged.
A Goldman spokesman declined to comment.

The 20-cents per gallon spike in the price of gasoline the week of Oct. 18 (10 cents of that in one day), pushing it to $2.50 per gallon in our area, is yet another reminder of the crumbling ledge on which we stand in terms of dealing with energy costs.
Gasoline prices have been lower over the past several months, hovering mostly around the $2 level, down about half from the peak of $4 or so.
But the relief was not without its own terrible cost — U.S. and world economies in freefall, brought on primarily by a banking/finance sector playing fast and loose with the rules of sound fiscal policy, but also by oil prices north of $140 per barrel that were sucking the life out of businesses and making it ever harder for families to make ends meet.
Big oil raked in gigantic profits, setting new records each quarter, while mega-billions flowed into OPEC coffers.
In the year-plus of the world trying to stave off a global depression and collapse of the financial system, with millions of people jobless (or worried that they might be) and thousands of businesses going belly-up (including a number of ethanol operations), demand for oil nosedived, supplies mushroomed to the point that companies were paying $75,000 per day to store oil in supertanker ships idled offshore, and speculators having reaped enormous profits and helped drive oil prices to stratospheric levels, took their gains and moved to other markets.
Yes, we were paying less at the pump, but a far greater real price when factoring in the cost of an economy on life support.
Today, the world is still awash in oil. There are no shortages. Supertankers full of crude continue sitting idle around the world. And hey, $2.50 per gallon beats $4 or more.
But, as we've seen many too many times, stability is not an attribute of energy price.
There are at least tentative signs of recovery here and there in the world, and recovery usually foretells a growing demand for oil. Most notably, the giant manufacturing machine that is China is already ramping up production of everything from toys to medicines — and China is a major user of and competitor for oil.
More demand points to higher prices, and speculators, sensing new opportunities for profit, are moving back into oil.
Toss into that scenario U.S. refineries which have cut back on the amount of gasoline being processed, and there is even more upward pressure on price.
Will we see $3 or even $4 gasoline again? Nobody knows. But, many analysts say, strengthening economies will boost demand for oil, and price will likely follow demand upward.
And then the question becomes: Would we rather have relatively cheap oil/gas in a lousy economy teetering on the brink of depression or a strengthening economy with increasingly costly oil/gas?

Author Notes: A favorite easy pasta recipe of mine, from Marcella Hazan, involves stirring pasta with fresh ricotta, peas and bacon. These flavors were the inspiration these deconstructed ravioli. These are actually quite easy to make and were possible to pull off on a weeknight, with the help of a seven-year old who is an enthusiastic pasta roller. These are delicious with fresh peas, but frozen are quite acceptable, as long as you use plenty of fresh chives and parsley. —Fairmount_market
Serves: 4
For the pasta
cups flour
pinch salt
cup water, or more as needed
olive oil
For the sauce and garnish
cups fresh shelled peas or a 10 ounce bag of frozen peas, thawed
tablespoons butter, divide use
cup chopped fresh chives
cup flat leaf parsley
cup water
tablespoon lemon juice
slices prosciutto
zest of one lemon
cup fresh ricotta
plenty of fresh ground pepper
salt to taste
In This Recipe
- Prepare the pasta dough in a food processor by mixing together the flour, eggs, and salt. Gradually add water until the dough just starts to come together into a ball. Gather the dough and slice it into approximately 12 slices. Roll out using a hand crank pasta maker or by hand, until the dough is the desired thinness. Cut the strips of dough into approximately 4 inch square pieces, but don't worry about the ragged edges.
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and add the fresh pasta squares. Allow the water to come back to a boil and cook for about one minute, tasting a corner to check that it is has the desired bite. Drain the pasta and drizzle on a little olive oil to prevent the squares from sticking to each other.
- While the pasta water is heating, prepare the pea sauce. Heat a skillet and melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter. When the butter is foaming, add the peas, salt and pepper, and saute for a couple of minutes. Add the fresh chopped chives and stir for another minute. Add 1 cup water and cook until the peas are soft. If using frozen peas, they will be almost done when you add the water, but fresh peas will need to simmer a little longer. Remove the peas from the heat. In a food processor, chop the parsley leaves and lemon juice. Add the cooked peas and process into a smooth, runny paste. You may need to add a little more water to achieve the right consistency. Return the sauce to the skillet to keep warm. Adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
- Prepare the prosciutto garnish. Cut the prosciutto into approximately 1/2 inch pieces. Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet and when it is foaming, add the prosciutto, a generous grinding of pepper, and the lemon zest. Separate the prosciutto pieces and cook for about 5 minutes until they become crispy. Remove from heat.
- In pre-warmed pasta bowls, assemble the floats. Ladle in the pea sauce (heat it up for a moment before serving if it's cooled down). Layer on 3 or 4 pasta squares per plate and top each with a generous dollop of fresh ricotta (you'll have some leftover pasta for seconds). Sprinkle on the crispy prosciutto, and serve at once.

Chris Pine was well aware of his action-hero options.
Accepting the lead role in "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" — the $60-million thriller that hits theaters Friday — the actor became the fourth man to portray novelist Tom Clancy's iconic CIA super-spy character over the course of a five-film franchise that has spanned nearly a quarter of a century and generated more than $787 million at the box office.
As such, Pine's performance could have paid implicit homage to those who came before him. He might have channeled the brisk efficiency of Alec Baldwin's submarine-bound Ryan in "The Hunt for Red October," Harrison Ford's reluctant (and frequently grimacing) hero in "Clear and Present Danger" and "Patriot Games," or Ben Affleck's rookie Langley dispatch from "The Sum of All Fears."
GRAPHIC: Faces to watch 2014 | Entertainment
Instead, in "Shadow Recruit," the first film in the franchise not to be directly adapted from one of Clancy's potboiler novels, Pine seized on the character's academic pedigree and Wall Street earning potential — which he shelves to serve his country, enlisting in the Marine Corps after the 9/11 attacks — to conjure an altogether different kind of patriot-hero.
"He's an American capitalist who was getting his PhD at the London School of Economics and was probably going to make a fortune in the private sector," Pine noted. "In a moment, he chose to do away with all that and do something entirely different. That spoke to me."
And it reminded Pine of another American hero: "Look at Pat Tillman, who gave up a huge football contract — what many people would characterize as the American dream — to fight in Afghanistan after 9/11. I talked about him all the time."
Not just any Hollywood hunk would have done that kind of moral calculus in pursuit of portraying an international man of intrigue in a splashy action movie. Or would have bothered trying to update the psychological profile of American spy fiction's foremost Cold Warrior for a new generation raised on WikiLeaks and NSA spying revelations. But then, Pine is not just any Hollywood hunk.
Now, after inhabiting the iconic role of Captain Kirk in two blockbuster installments of J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" reboot, Pine, 33, is balancing two studio franchises. With furrowed brow, and exuding a kind of unbearable heaviness of being fundamentally at odds with his lot as a marquee movie star, he acknowledged the push-pull of his enviable status.

"I get tired of myself talking about how reluctant I am to take on roles like this," Pine said, seated in a roof-top pool cabana at a Beverly Hills hotel. "It must sound like, 'Boo-hoo, poor actor.' That being said, I never had any clarity about this path. By which I mean, I never wanted this, never strove for it consciously. So to be here sometimes feels like some kind of bizarre cosmic accident. Like, where? Why? How?"
"Shadow Recruit" provides a kind of creation myth for the character, detailing Ryan's conscription as a CIA analyst-turned-operative (under the tutelage of a veteran agency handler, played by Kevin Costner) leading up to the first major test of Ryan's mettle. After uncovering evidence of an impending terrorist attack, the agent travels to Moscow, where he must face off against a mysterious Russian oligarch (Kenneth Branagh) with plans to cripple the American economy.
Branagh, the Irish-born filmmaker-actor whose resume is littered with adaptations of Shakespeare plays in which he has both performed and directed, also directed "Shadow Recruit." And the multiple-Oscar nominee says refocusing the franchise around his leading man was a priority.
"In the classical world, I never do 'Hamlet' unless I have the Hamlet. The personality of the actor is so key," Branagh said. "I did this because I wanted to build Jack Ryan around Chris Pine. To reinvigorate the whole thing, you needed somebody who was going to feel ownership of the role."
Not that Pine made it easy for him. By his own admission, the actor had "argument upon argument upon discussion upon conversation upon debate" with Branagh, trying to find the "center point" of his character, who is dismissively described in "Clear and Present Danger" as a "boy scout."
Biggest box office flops of 2013
Specifically, Pine got hung up on a plot point where Ryan withholds the fact that he's a CIA agent from his fiancee, played by Keira Knightley.
" 'I couldn't tell you I was in the CIA because I gave a man my word' — I told Ken so many times, 'Doesn't that sound dumb?'" recalled Pine, who tends to avoid viewing the world in terms of absolutes. "If you were in the CIA, you'd be like, 'Listen babe, I'm not coming home because I'm an analyst.' And he said, 'That's the great thing about Jack Ryan.' This old-fashioned Norman Rockwell quality, this integrity. He's just such a good guy!"
To hear it from Mace Neufeld, the 85-year-old producer behind all the Jack Ryan movies dating to 1990's "Hunt for Red October," Pine's casting was something of a no-brainer.
"He's about the right age and he's an extremely attractive young man," Neufeld said. "I saw him in 'Star Trek' and was extremely blown away. Then I happened to see him on stage. I saw him do 'Farragut North' and then I saw him do a very bloody show called The Lieutenant of Inishmore,' which he did with an Irish brogue. Then I found out that his mother and father were working actors. I said, 'This is the guy. He knows how to act. And he's serious about acting.'"
Pine is a third-generation actor whose father famously portrayed Sgt. Getraer on the '70s TV police procedural "CHiPs"; he grew up in Los Angeles, attending private school in the San Fernando Valley.
But even with all the institutional goodwill toward Pine — he earned a reported $4-million payday for "Shadow Recruit" with back-end profit participation built into his contract, which extends to at least two more sequels — the future of the franchise is far from certain. According to pre-release audience awareness surveys, "Shadow Recruit" is on track to earn a lackluster $20 million over its opening four days in theaters, coming in a distant second to "Ride Along," an urban comedy starring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart.
In Los Angeles these days to film the raunch comedy "Horrible Bosses 2," having recently wrapped a small part in director Rob Marshall's star-studded adaptation of the musical "Into the Woods" in London, and with a third "Star Trek" installment already in the works, however, Pine shows no sign of falling off the A-list anytime soon.
And in describing his secret agent character's hesitant conversion from introspection to action, the actor may as well have been talking about his self-acceptance as a movie star.
"His journey is coming to terms with the kind of fateful responsibility it is to serve on the front lines," Pine said. "He better get comfortable with it because that's where he is."

BERTHOUD -- A 15-year-old black German exchange student attending Berthoud High School has rescinded allegations that four white men assaulted her last month in what authorities labeled a hate crime.
The Berthoud Police Department doesn't intend to press charges, however, Chief Glenn Johnson said, because it's believed that the girl was revealing for the first time details of an alleged assault she suffered a few years ago in Germany.
"We're not intending (on) prosecuting her," Johnson said. "With violent crimes, it sometimes takes time for information to come out."
And in this case, Johnson said, it took the girl at least three years to come forward to report the alleged attack.
The girl on April 12 reported the most-recent alleged assault to the Berthoud Police Department. She said four white men in their 20s cornered her while she was walking through Ellen Bunyan Bein Park, located next to the Berthoud High School on Spartan Avenue. They used intimidating and racial language, she alleged, and one man reportedly cut her face with a knife.
The Berthoud and Loveland police departments, Larimer County Sheriff's Office, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Anti-Defamation League contributed resources to the investigation. It wasn't until Friday, Johnson said, during one of multiple interviews, the girl admitted the incident happened not in Berthoud but overseas.
Police believe details the girl shared about her April 12 attack are "similar to what happened years ago," Johnson said, including her description of a suspected assailant investigators used to draw a composite sketch released to the media last month.
Johnson said people in town haven't questioned too much the outcome of the case and are generally "relieved something like this didn't happen" in Berthoud.

Ever since I became a journalist, I have had one burning desire: to work the phrases "National Poetry Month" and "The Human Centipede" into the same column. With the following piece, my career will be vindicated.
I'll get to the second phrase later. But first, National Poetry Month, which will begin early next week. According to the Academy of American Poets' website, the April holiday was created in 1996 to encourage schools, libraries, publishers and others to celebrate the craft.
Why April? The website claims it was to complement Black History Month in February and Women's History Month in March, although I always suspected it had to do with T.S. Eliot's declaration that "April is the cruellest month."
As a published poet, I'm pretty blase about National Poetry Month. I think of an interview Morgan Freeman gave years ago on "60 Minutes" in which Mike Wallace asked him for his thoughts on Black History Month. Freeman called it "ridiculous" and asked, "Which month is White History Month?" Moments later, he clarified: "I don't want a Black History Month. Black history is American history."
Likewise, for those devoted to the craft, every month is Poetry Month. But it's an unshakable truth that, the occasional Eliot aside, most poets don't become household names. So if any groups try some of the "30 Ways to Celebrate" the academy lists on its website — which include "Attend a poetry reading," "Take a poem out to lunch" and my favorite, "Put poetry in an unexpected place" — I can't help but cheer the recognition. (Locally, the Mesa Verde Library has announced plans to set up a display and poetry-themed drawing at the circulation desk, while the Newport Beach Public Library is encouraging readers to create "book spine poetry" by arranging books so the titles on their spines create a phrase.)
In fact, looking over that list of 30 things, I've done most of them in April and beyond. Memorize a poem? You should hear me recite "Fire and Ice." Organize a poetry reading? Dozens of times. Watch a poetry movie? My 11th-grade English teacher regaled us with "Dead Poets Society."
But there's one endeavor the academy doesn't list, and it's one many of my poet friends have done to commemorate April: the hair-raising 30/30 challenge. That's where you write a poem each day from April 1 to 30, and I've never even thought about doing it.
Maybe that's because I already write on deadline five days a week, and I can only handle so much structure. It may also be because I'm a savage self-editor and often revise a poem a dozen or more times before it sees the light of day.
Still, when a poet gets into a groove, the first thought (or at least the second thought, a moment or so later) can be pretty dazzling. So with National Poetry Month looming, I touched base with a couple of poet friends to see how they handled the 30/30 challenge.
Our case studies are Raundi K. Moore-Kondo, a poet and activist who recently co-organized the Mammary Chronicles: Bearing Breasts Tour to raise funds to fight cancer, and Eric Morago, who runs the reading at Vinatero Wine Shop in Whittier and serves as poet-in-residence for the California Workforce Assn. Both Raundi and Eric told me that when they set out to write a poem a day, they used a unified theme to keep the inspiration coming — not unlike being a beat reporter, I suppose.
In Raundi's case, after "winging it" the first year, she chose a theme for year two: fortune cookies. Every day during April, she broke open a cookie and wrote a poem inspired by the message. When one sweet treat advised, "Don't stop dreaming, sleep will get awfully boring," Raundi coaxed out a poem about how her parents reacted to her talking in her sleep as a child. The opening verses read:
My dreams woke my parents
from their deep, hopeless sleep.
They didn't recognize
any of the words coming
from my crib.
This was not my mother's tongue
This was the language of our Father
They tried to understand
the prophesy that spilled effortlessly
from my 3 year old lips.
The year after, Raundi used for her theme "epigraphs based on the 100 greatest songs and books of the 20th century." Among her inspirations were E.M. Forster, Vladimir Nabokov and even the Rolling Stones. This year's theme? As of the other day, she hadn't decided yet.
Now, Eric: Last year, he tried the 30/30 challenge for the first time and came up a little short, writing about 20 poems. That's still better than I've done in the course of a month. At the time, he was at work on a series about mythical creatures, and his efforts produced poems about the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot.
In October, though, Eric scheduled a National Poetry Month of his own — and tied it into Halloween. Every night that month, he watched a horror movie and then wrote a haiku about it, and he made it to 31 poems in 31 days.
So that leads us to the "Human Centipede" films, which probably haven't inspired much poetry since they came out in 2010 and 2011. If you haven't heard of them, they're about ... to be honest, I really don't have the stomach to tell you. Google them if you're unaware, and please make sure you haven't eaten in the last hour or so.
OK, back now? Eric, brave soul, endured both films and churned out a haiku about each one. (Full disclosure: I haven't seen them, and will probably undergo the 30/30 challenge a hundred times before I do.) Our status as a family newspaper prevents me from quoting Eric's first poem, but he wrote about the second:
Sequels, like science,
are sometimes better left to
theory, not practice.
It's an elegant poem about a difficult subject matter, and that, of course, is the key to so much brilliant poetry. Often, the greatest writers are the ones who brave the most traumatic experiences and muster the strength to put them on paper. So years from now, if Eric ever edges me out for the Pulitzer Prize, I know I'll have "The Human Centipede" to blame.

Vacation is over, and I will be back to my regular posting schedule.
What did I do in the gaming world while I was not posting? Well, not a whole lot to be honest.
On the WoW front, I reposted my auctions daily. Yesterday I ran the first half of dragonsoul on my Hunter and it went well.
I have noticed a nice DPS increase since they changed the talent system. About 5k more dps for my hunter.
I am really looking forward to MoP. Something new is certainly welcome.
In MW3, I finally have more kills than deaths and more wins than losses....which is more than can be said for most of the players that I play against online.
In other gaming news, I actually farted around on a couple of other MMOs. I played a bit of Warhammer online, and was having fun, but it gets a bit difficult to PvE as you level. Everything seems more geared to groups, but there are not nearly enough people online when you get past the starting area. I may play a bit more of it until MoP comes out.
I also played a little bit of LOTRO. I played a couple of scenarios and did a quest in hobbiton where I went to every INN and got drunk. There was a summer festival going on, but it did not seem like much fun.
Going forward, I will be back to my normal posting schedule.

BERWICK, Pa., Dec. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Unit 2 at the PPL Susquehanna nuclear power plant automatically shut down early Sunday morning (12/16) during routine testing of a valve on the unit's main turbine system.
Operators have confirmed all systems responded as expected and the reactor is in a safe and stable condition. Susquehanna employees are investigating why the testing caused the shutdown.
"We regularly test and evaluate the condition of plant systems and equipment," said Timothy S. Rausch, PPL Susquehanna senior vice president and chief nuclear officer. "The Unit 2 reactor automatically shut down during one of these planned tests. Our operators followed established procedures to keep the unit in a safe and stable condition."
Unit 1 is operating safely at full power.

Faculty and Staff Reference
In July of 2010, the campus launched a multi-year project to re-engineer the campus scholarship process. The Vice President for Administration and Finance called for the University to refocus efforts to improve service to students, ensure compliance with federal and state regulations, improve donor and community relations, and minimize duplication of effort on the campus.
The first phase was implemented for Fall 2010 and included:
Building upon the efforts of this first phase of the scholarship re-engineering project, the second phase focuses on automating the disbursements of scholarships, the creation of departmental reports, and the continued effort to insure University scholarships are administered in compliance with regulations and policies.
Changes to the Scholarship Administration process for the 2011-2012 academic year will include:
As part of CSULB's responsibility for administering scholarships and other awards to students, an annual review of Scholarship/Educational Award Profile information is required to ensure the Office of Financial Aid has the most current information on all scholarship/educational awards and to reaffirm delegation of authority for award and payment administration.
It is very important that all awards are set-up accurately in the student system and that information on delegation of authority is current. This is necessary because control steps previously performed by Accounts Payable in the Foundation will now be done by the Office of Financial Aid. For information on how this information is collected, please review the Procedure Annual Review of Scholarship Profile Information.
Annual review packets were sent to each award administrator in late May and are due to the Office of Financial Aid no later than July 1. Student Award payments for the new academic year cannot be processed until the annual review is complete for the award.
The process used by departments to request award payments will remain largely unchanged as award payment forms will continue to be submitted to the Financial Aid Office for processing. However, the method of delivery to the student will now be performed via the Student System beginning Fall 2011. This will allow:
For a detailed review of the new process, please see Overview of the new payment process via the student system. Wherever possible, recipients should be selected during the spring or summer prior to the academic year of the award and the award payment form submitted by August 1.
The new awarding and payment process will result in the availability of specific award information in the student system. As a result, CSLink reports will be made available to assist in award administration. Reports will show awarding, disbursement and enrollment information by student. The new reports are planned to be available by the beginning of the Fall semester. They will be available to authorized users via our secure reporting environment (CSLink).
This Scholarship website will be a resource center for campus individuals involved with administering scholarships and other educational awards. The website will be expanded over the coming year to respond to the information requests from the campus. You will see some of the future topics identified and listed as Coming soon!
The basic forms that the departments will use have not changed; however, they have been updated to match the new payment delivery process via the Student system. The Forms and detailed instructions for completion can be found on this Scholarship website.
