Wedding bells: Tobias & Michelle
I was recently given the honor of being asked to shoot my good friend and follow photographer Tobias' (aka Visualbass) marriage to his lovely fiancee Michelle at Joy Bistro in Toronto. Based on the work I usually do I'll be the first to admit this was a first wedding shoot for me, but by the looks of the final images, and the pleased reactions of both bride and groom I think it's safe to say that I managed to capture their special day just right. Here are some of my favorite photos of the day...More+

For an athlete, game time is the easy part. The tough part is the months of hard work in sweaty workout shirts and shorts, lifting and pumping iron to become stronger, faster and better.
There is perhaps no place on campus where the power of transformation is more obvious to the naked eye than the weight room.
Three UNF athletes, baseball player Preston Hale, pole-vaulter Anne DelBovo and basketball player Brittany Kirkland, are intimately familiar with the hard work. They don't mind it at all. On the contrary, they embrace it because their efforts in the weight room have helped them improve to the level of all-star status in their particular sports.
Hale, DelBovo and Kirkland work out regularly under the guidance of Joe Collins, UNF director of strength and conditioning. They lift weights in the 4,000-square-foot "Iron Works," UNF Athletics' strength and conditioning facility housed in the Wilkins Family Center in Hodges Stadium. Athletes work out during the regular season and in the summer.
Longtime UNF Athletics supporters John Hayt and Tony Weight were the lead donors in raising the $175,000 to construct the facility. Other donors were Gerry Hurst, Howard Hodor, Bob Goin and Dave Polovina.
Hale, a senior criminal justice major and a right fielder on the baseball team, loves to lift. He calls it a passion. At 5-feet, 10-inches and a well-chiseled 195 pounds, Hale puts in nine hours a week spread over six days during his summer weightlifting sessions at the Wilkins Family Center. His workouts start at 7 a.m. The lifting and hard work is paying off. Hale is so strong his muscles have muscles.
The sandy-haired senior from Lakeland led the team in batting with a .371 mark, smacked a team-high 10 home runs and drove in 43 runs in 53 games. Hale was named to the Atlantic Sun All Conference Baseball second team. He's been on the Atlantic Sun Conference All-Academic team three consecutive years.
Despite the success on the ball field, Hale doesn't take anything for granted. Shortly after doing a set of five squat-lifts with 305 pounds draped across his shoulders, Hale toweled his face off and offered a revealing glimpse into his workout philosophy. "When I go to sleep, I want to know I've outworked everybody else who wants to take my position."
Baseball coach Dusty Rhodes has nothing but good things to say about Hale and his work ethic. "A lot of hard work has made him the player he is," Rhodes said. "He takes advantage of everything we have, and it's worked out great for him. He has made himself a better player."
Asked for two words to describe Hale, Collins came up with: "tenacious and perseverance." "He's like a [soldier]. He just works and doesn't ask a lot of questions. He just does what you tell him," Collins said.
Collins, 42, graduated in 1993 from the University of Cincinnati, where he was a center on the football team. He writes the workout plans for all the athletes. "They gain confidence knowing the workout session is harder than the game. I try to make my sessions harder than any game they will compete in," he said.
DelBovo, a senior nursing student who also happens to be from Lakeland, is a pole-vaulter on the track team. She also is a long-jumper and runs the lead leg of the 4x100-meter relay. This past season DelBovo was a member of the Atlantic Sun All Conference first-team pole-vaulter in both indoor and outdoor competition.
DelBovo, at 5-feet, 6-inches and "130ish," manages to squeeze in 90-minute workouts four days a week at the Wilkins Family Center despite working two jobs during the summer – one 35 hours a week, the other 15 hours a week. She's a home health aide and works part-time at a running-equipment store.
"When she first came here she was a skinny, little girl," Collins said, recalling DelBovo's freshman year at UNF. He admitted to thinking that she would never really make it as an athlete.
Collins happily admits to being wrong. He speaks proudly about how DelBovo has worked to succeed in her sport. "She just kind of blossomed and physically transformed herself. Anne always works hard. She's gone from being a little girl to being an athlete," Collins said.
Track Coach Mark VanAlstyne has also watched DelBovo hone her athletic skills. "Anne is a phenomenal young lady who was always a good athlete but through hard work and dedication in the weight room is transforming herself into a great athlete," VanAlstyne said.
DelBovo has a simple formula for her success. "Working there [the Wilkins Family Center weight room] has made me more confident. Having more strength equates to speed, and speed is everything if you want to get on bigger poles and go higher," she said.
Kirkland, a sophomore community health major from Monroe, Ga., was the starting point guard on the basketball team last season. Kirkland led the Ospreys in scoring, and was second in scoring in the Atlantic Sun Conference, averaging 11.1 points a game. She also was a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference All-Freshman team.
Despite the accolades and honors, Kirkland, at five-feet, 7-inches and 143 pounds, is working in the weight room this summer to get stronger so she doesn't, in her words, "get knocked down driving to the hole."
"Brittany came here [to UNF] with a better skill set," Collins said. "What she did in the weight room was take that skill set to another level." Collins describes Kirkland as tireless.
Kirkland has matured into a powerful young athlete. When Kirkland goes home to Monroe, her grandmother asks to take a look at her. "My grandma asks me to turn around and do a spin, right quick," Kirkland said. "She smiles and laughs because I used to be a little skinny stick in my teens."
Basketball coach Mary Tappmeyer is pleased with how her prized freshman is developing. "Since she has been in the program, I have seen an improvement in her leg strength, which will make even more explosive and improved her endurance," Tappmeyer said.
Collins, in his low, no-nonsense voice, perhaps added the perfect footnote to this story while in the middle of a workout in the weight room early one weekday morning.
"I enjoy all of it; doing workouts, planning workouts; implementing workouts. It's all about effort. If they're stronger and more confident, they play more aggressively and can impose their will. It's the mental aspect of it – you feel strong. You can beat people with your mentality because you are mentally tough."
And then he was off to work with a young athlete on a lifting technique. The athlete wore a T-shirt with "The Iron Works" emblazoned across the chest. Collins calls the strength and conditioning facility "The Iron Works" because it suggests an attitude of hard work and toughness. Hard work and the donors' gifts that built the facility give UNF athletes the power they need to compete and win at the Division I level.
UNF's athletes "gain confidence knowing the workout session is harder than the game," Collins said. "I try to make my sessions harder than any game they will compete in."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A variety of sellers have started offering Israeli gas masks on the Internet auction site eBay, and they are selling fast.
Priced between $25-$50, many of the masks are of the older model first distributed to Israelis in the early 2000s. Those masks were supposed to have been turned in and destroyed, but apparently a great many were held on to for later entrepreneurial purposes.
With the looming threat of a Western attack on Syria, and Syrian retaliation against the Jewish state, Israelis have been flocking to gas mask distribution centers in recent days. But the long lines are a deterrent, and many are looking for alternative means of acquiring gas masks.
While eBay might be more convenient, Israeli officials are cautioning that the older gas masks were deemed to be ineffective against certain types of chemical attacks, and Israelis should make sure they are purchasing only the newest model.

In 1974, Jaguar XJS E-Type sales dropped rapidly despite the presence of the relatively new V-12 engine. As a replacement, the company presented the new Jaguar XJS at the Frankfurt Auto Show. Even though it shared the same V-12 with the E-Type, to deliver a graceful ride, the car was considered to be completely different.
The Jaguar XJS is a high-performance luxury grand tourer that the manufacturer produced from 1975 to 1996. The car replaced the Jaguar E-Type that stopped production in September 1975. The design of the Jaguar XJS is based on the company's flagship XJ-Series saloon cars. The last ever Jaguar XJS was launched on April 4, 1996. In a span of over two decades, Jaguar produced 115,413 cars. The Jaguar XK8 replaced the Jaguar XJS thereafter.
The Jaguar XJS is known for instigating the merger between the luxury sports car brand and British Leyland. Even Jaguar's naming pattern changed as a result of this merger. The Jaguar XJS, a two-door performance car, was named the F-Type. However, the car is considered to be part of the XJ sedan series. Jaguar offers it only as a coupe, marking the beginning of the company's refusal to produce convertibles--a trend that lasted well into the 1980s. Car enthusiasts do not respond to the car with the same awestruck looks that earlier Jaguar cars command.
In fact, for many people, the Jaguar XJS is the line that demarcated Lyons era cars because the company founder was still heading the company when it had started to replace the E-Type. However, the car faced a revival in the 1980s as the company began to emerge from British Leyland control. Today, the Jaguar XJS is considered to be a classic car, a symbol of Jaguar's automotive heritage. It evokes the traditional E-Type era. Ironically, it is the most popular Jaguar ever made because it delivers decent mileage and is also a pleasure to drive around in.
The Jaguar XJS got a facelift in 1991, and this revamped model continued production until 1996. It received very few mechanical changes in 1991, but the U.S. market witnessed a substantial change in the new AJ6 engine, which had been enlarged to a four-liter displacement. In 1995, the last major change in the XJS engine took effect with the arrival of a V-12 engine. The 237 hp engine comes available with an electronic ZF four-speed automatic transmission system. Engine management also improved the V-12's performance by 23 hp.
The last Jaguar XJS showed major changes to its exterior. The lines around the body were softer, and the body shell was built with fewer panels than before. The car also underwent rust-proofing treatment. The front end of the Jaguar XJS remained unchanged for the most part, but its rear was unrecognizable from the previous versions. The changes in the rear included modified quarter windows, new tail lights, and new rear windows. A new instrument panel used conventional dials from the XJ40 panel, replacing the 1970s era, drum style engine gauges. The instrument cluster also included a touch of extra veneer, giving the interior a hint of luxury that previous versions of the Jaguar XJS lacked.
The first version of the Jaguar XJS, as mentioned above, met with negative reactions. The car was initially available with a manual or an automatic transmission, but the company stopped the manual transmission production after some time. An unusual V-12 engine powers the Jaguar XJS. People respond to the car poorly because of its styling, as well as the timing of its debut, which was in the wake of the '70s fuel crisis. Overall, the dipping production standards of the Jaguar XJS under British Leyland along with strong criticisms resulted in the car missing out on commercial success.
The 1980s saw Jaguar coming under the leadership of John Egan, after years of struggling under British Leyland. Subsequently, the Jaguar XJS received a high-efficiency engine designed by renowned Swiss engineer Michael May. May increased the power of the V-12 unit to 263 hp in America and 220 hp in other countries. The exterior and interior of the car are also updated, which earns the car a more positive response. During this decade, the Jaguar XJS was finally released as a two-door, targa top convertible and as a full convertible.
1996 Jaguar XJS
Convertible, Luxury
The ups and downs of the Jaguar XJS over the years will come to an end in the final year of production before it unveils a new model.
1995 Jaguar XJS
Convertible, Coupe, Luxury
The 1995 Jaguar XJS models take the classic Jaguar XJ-Series luxury sedans and moves them into a coupe or convertible body.

Leena.mccall necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 115 diseños de 26 diseñadores freelance.
Heavenly Tart (http://www.heavenlytart.com)
I am a painter interested in erotica for women. My work explores the ideas of sensuality, sexuality and the power of the feminine. I want to understand what turns women on, what makes a woman feel sexy, powerful and desire.
I am not about objectifying women for the male gaze. I want to make women the *subjects* of my art. A subjective erotic visual journey.
I am creating the Heavenly Tart brand to allow myself and other women artists to explore erotic ideas in our artwork and to exhibit anonymously under the Heavenly Tart brand. Anonymity helps create a sense of freedom to express.
We already have two exhibitions in London planned for January and February 2011. This will be the launch of Heavenly Tart.
Primary target:
- women aged 25 - 50
- sophisticated, confident, professional
- interested in sexual expression and exploration
- potential art buyers
Secondary target:
- professional men aged 25+
- interested in buying luxury goods for their wives/girlfriends/mistresses
- potential art buyers
I want to set up an erotic art brand for women artists to explore the exciting realm of erotic imagery and for them to exhibit their work under. So I need a logo that can be used for:
- a website
- business cards
- postcards
The logo needs to work on both a white and black background, (i.e. supplied with a transparent background).
These are some words/thoughts to help guide you:
- rich, opulent, dark, night, sensual, erotic, velvet, secretive, desire
- black, red, scarlet, cream
- elegant, classic, classy, sophisticated, luxurious
- 1930's burlesque, vintage
- Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, Scarlett Johanson
Here are some websites that might help:
I hope you find this project as exciting as I do! Good luck!

I've been away. I know. I have noticed. Thank you for your patience during the disruption to your service.
I've been terribly ill, you see. Sick, so sick. Morning sickness it is. Was. It's over now - sort of. I still get the odd billowing wave of it, bobbing up around my solar plexus but I'm no longer a drooping, greyish figure haunting my house. Urgh. I hate - hate - people who say that horrid thing to pregnant women - "You're not ill, you're pregnant." Really? Because it feels an awful lot like norovirus to me.
Anyway I feel better now. And I had my 12 week scan - just one spratling, thank god, in the right place - and so I can start moaning on about being pregnant again. The other thing that's happened is that I've finished putting together that book I was talking about. In the end it really wasn't very much work, it was just impossible to do anything feeling so sick. Ten minutes typing, 1 hour lying down, ten minutes typing, one hour lying down. SO SO SICK. I got some pills off my doctor, The Beast, in the end. I just couldn't take it anymore. But they only took the edge off, it wasn't like I was bouncing out of bed in the mornings.
I honestly am still reeling from how awful it was. It just wasn't that bad with Kitty. And I wasn't that tired either. But for the last six weeks I've been wiped out, asleep from 1-3pm every day. Wiped out like chalk on a blackboard. And then wake up feeling like shit. Poor old Kitty. Or rather lucky Kitty - she has eaten biscuits and watched telly solidly for six weeks. But thank god for telly. Thank GOD! What would we have done without it.
I am trying not to think too much about being plunged back into a babyhood. I am trying to look on the bright side. I must have learned something since Kitty was born. It surely won't be as awful as it was. I don't want to go mad again, I really don't.
It has to be different this time - for one, Kitty was brought home to a house that didn't have any children in it. It was a grown-up house, really quite spooky in a lot of ways - silent and strange and unfit for a baby. These days it has a chattering lunatic nearly-two-year-old in it, dropping crumbs and kicking balloons and watching telly and running from one end of the house to the other for no reason other than youthful high spirits. The changing mat now has its own room, rather than squatting on the kitchen table. The kitchen extension means that everyone can slob about in the kitchen, rather than me being at the stove, running out every ten seconds into the living room to make sure everyone's okay.
And maybe I'm different. Broken in, broken down. Resigned. Institutionalised. Used to that special sort of monotony you get with small children, so intense particularly in babies. My expectations from life are different now. I am surrendered, like onions.
Surrendering onions is a slow but pleasing task. It is what you do if you want very soft, aromatic, almost creamy onions (for an onion gravy for example, or a tangle alongside some sausages) and the trick is to cook them for a good 1.5-2 hours on the lowest heat on your smallest available burner.
You slice them into rings, reasonably thinly and scatter them in a pan with some oil - and butter, if you like. Then sprinkle over a generous pinch of salt and put a lid on and leave them. Do not turn the heat up and do not poke them about too much. Take the lid off if at any point the onions start to even think about sizzling. Towards the end of the cooking time, the onions will almost in a matter of seconds collapse into themselves - they will surrender. I can't help but think of motherhood like that. But not in a bad way.

Paris marks the first ever international motor show appearance for McLaren Automotive. That's a pretty big deal, for a brand responsible for building one of the greatest cars in history, the F1.
For now, though, the P1 on display at the Paris Motor Show is just a design study, but McLaren plans to offer the production version within 12 months. "The McLaren P1 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage," said McLaren Automotive Executive Chairman Ron Dennis. "Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with the McLaren P1 is to redefine it once again."
If that's not a statement that excites you, you can stop reading now. The F1 is everything to the supercar designation. It is perfection, something not often—or ever—seen in the automotive world.
P1 is a motorsport term, referring to first position, and that is exactly where McLaren plans to position itself in comparison to every other possible competitor. No, the P1 isn't mean to win the overall top speed battle, but it is built to be quickest on the track, outperforming everything. McLaren Automotive Managing Director Antony Sheriff said, "It is the true test of a supercar's all round ability and a much more important technical statement. Our goal is to make the McLaren P1 the most exciting, most capable, most technologically advanced and most dynamically accomplished supercar ever made."
Did someone say downforce? Hours upon hours were spent in the wind tunnel honing the aerodynamics to produced unrivaled figures. The P1 achieves over 1300 lbs of downforce well below maximum speed. That's about five times as much as the MP4-12c, and far more than most other supercars available today. The P1's downforce is actually closer to the MP4-12C GT3 racecar, except it's completely road legal.
"It is designed to be driven to the racing circuit, with great levels of comfort and refinement," says Sheriff. "And then to be used on the racing circuit, where it will offer an experience matched only by purpose-built race cars."
This is what's awesome about a car company utilizing direct knowledge from their Formula 1 achievements to build road cars. The P1 even includes Formula 1-like DRS (drag reduction system). The rear spoilers pitch changes when being driven flat out in a straight line, the maximize acceleration, reducing drag and then adjusts in time to bring the downforce back for braking and turning. In addition to the rear wing, there are also two flaps under the car in front of the front wheels, ranging in adjustment between 0 and 60 degrees. This thing is a fighter jet.
McLaren is no stranger to extensive use of carbon fiber. They were the first to have a full carbon body Grand Prix car (in 1981) and the first to offer a full carbon body road car (the F1). The P1 utilizes the same build dynamics of the F1 with a carbon fiber monocoque and mid-engine placement.
Among all of this, though the P1 is beautiful. It is a statement for design and achievement. Modernizing conceptual thoughts to provoke outright performance melded with groundbreaking technology and new-age philosophies. If you can't tell yet, we are excited about this car.
With pedigree as strong as McLarens, their claims aren't to be taken lightly, as the 12C was everything they said it'd be, the F1 was the pinnacle of performance and technology for its era and their racing career is more decorated than most.

This may look like any other snare drum, and it is—with one important difference. When you bop this one, the sound makes it light up the sky.
Expensive? Yes, very. Practical? Not in the slightest. A fun toy for rich eccentrics and/or caped crusaders? Absolutely.
The 326 Sound Activated Drum Light costs $850, making it more art installation than drum kit addition, and can be ordered here.

Be part of a movement—women moving toward a healthy lifestyle and their personal best. Join the exciting ZOOMA Women's Race Series, now five events in 2011 and growing--terrific locations throughout the USA. The focus of the highly regarded ZOOMA Women's Race Series is to create quality events that provide women with a competitive platform; one that showcases seasoned athletes and novices alike. What a great way to take charge of your health and fitness. This series has grown to five events nationwide in 2011, attracting women of all ages and athletic abilities. This series is turning a lot of attention to women's running. Stay tuned!
Here we go! The ZOOMA Great Lakes Half Marathon and 5K will run on October 22 at the Abby Resort and Spa in Fontana, Wisconsin. You have to try this one! Check it out and register at www.zoomarun.com and experience running as never before - an all women's race to enjoy a great get-away in a fabulous location.
They concluded the hugely successful ZOOMA Annapolis Half Marathon and accompanying 10K on June 5, 2011; that followed by the Colorado Half Marathon and 10K on July 17. The Annapolis run started and finished at the famous Navy Marine Corps Stadium, ran around the Maryland state capitol and through historic downtown Annapolis—this opportunity to run through the capital is practically unprecedented, but this was the fifth annual for ZOOMA. There are few races in the Capital City on the Chesapeake Bay. Post race celebrations were held in the stadium end zone, including a great expo. This event was the very first ZOOMA Women's Race, initiated in 2008; over 1,600 runners enjoyed that inaugural. Since then growth has been steady and well planned. And the legend continues to build as Annapolis becomes a classic women's event and the ZOOMA Women's Race Series continues to expand nationwide. The Colorado event was a tremendous success with the fabulous backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.
Thousands of women will cross a ZOOMA finish line this year, and even more as the events grow into 2012. You can be part of it! The idea is empower women to feel the exhilaration, pride, and sense of personal accomplishment that result from meeting fitness challenges head on, and accomplishing goals. The concept is to have the best, most memorable time ever in running and fitness. Whether you are an accomplished runner or novice, whether you run 5K or 10K, or one of their signature half marathons, the ZOOMA Women's Race Series welcomes you and invites you to cross that triumphant finish line. Everyone is welcome to participate in these women's races.
Following a great summer, ZOOMA moves to Wisconsin with the ZOOMA Great Lakes Half Marathon and 5K, which will roll in Fontana, Wisconsin—85 miles north of Chicago, 45 minutes from Milwaukee. Then on to the South with ZOOMA Atlanta Half Marathon and 5K on November 26, 2011. The second ZOOMA Texas is planned for March 31, 2012 in Austin, a Half Marathon and 5K.
Check the excellent, comprehensive ZOOMA Women's Race Series Website at www.zoomarun.com for details on each event and an overview of the organization. Check out recent posts on news and training, specific event overviews, registration, expo, Ambassadors, travel and accommodations, directions and parking, charities, volunteer opportunities, Team ZOOMA, past results, a photo gallery, and FAQ's.
Each event has a cap, so be sure to register as soon as you can and set up your plans and training.
Have you often thought of running a half marathon but the distance was too intimidating? ZOOMA has a Training Plan for you geared specifically for this goal. Check it out.
What about ZOOMA?
The mission is, "to inspire women to live healthy and active lives". We all know that fellow runners encourage each other, and women love to celebrate personal triumphs and enjoy the spirit of the moment. And after their victory, these goal-oriented women share "well deserved partying and pampering" at each event.
The ZOOMA success has been driven by many factors. They provide what women want; hold events in ideal regions, set up resorts and spas to provide comfort and pampering throughout; establish expos of interest to women athletes, team with charities in each location, and so much more. Finally, they are expert in working with town governments and civic groups where the events are held.
Great Locations, Enjoyable Destinations
Each ZOOMA event will be full of perks for participants, providing not only a race but a happening and a true getaway experience. For example, Barefoot Wine and Bubbly is a sponsor and all participants are treated to complimentary wine at the post race. Unique jewelry is awarded all finishers rather than medals. Free training, virtual or actual, is available to all and is especially handy for those women tackling the half marathon for the first time. Runners will experience a well supported course with water and energy drinks, GU energy gel stations, and post food and refreshments. Every event hosts an expo with vendors that are clearly relevant to women athletes. Free massage helps, and they always have music. All courses are USATF-certified, and results are provided by the Chronotrack—chips within your personal race bib.
Also uniquely ZOOMA, events are held in truly interesting, ultimate getaway resorts, such as the Hilton Antlers and Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs; the Abby Resort and Spa on Lake Geneva in Fontana, Wisconsin; the Chateau Elan, located near Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia—surrounded by vineyards. The Austin event was held at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa in nearby Bastrop, Texas. Details on all locations can be found on www.zoomarun.com
A ZOOMA event emphasizes what makes women special, unique, strong and limitless. Each event, each race is a testament to the power of women and a celebration of woman's health and fitness. With the camaraderie of all-women races, there is no better way, no better time, to strengthen your commitment to healthy living. Participating in a ZOOMA Women's Race Series event will provide memorable moments; and it could change your life.
With expert race organization and unique amenities, it is no wonder that these events are favorites. Past participants rave that ZOOMA races are well organized, enjoyable, and runner-friendly. There's that special camaraderie that is unique to all-women events. ZOOMA lives up to its reputation for making every runner feel special, celebrating every woman's strengths. When memories of other races are long gone, runners find themselves basking in the afterglow of these all-women getaways.
Go for It
Make 2011 your year! Create personal goals for your active, healthy running season while having the time of your life in fabulous destinations. Just reach for it, get some friends together and make a plan. Experience the special joy, satisfaction and exhilaration that comes with meeting your fitness goals by participating in ZOOMA's quality women's half marathons, 10K's or 5K's. To register please visit www.zoomarun.com and take advantage of a new attitude, a new you.

|Statement: April 20, 2006
|View Printable PDF Version
|Docket Nos: RM05-32-001 & RM06-11-000
Chairman Joseph T. Kelliher's statement on Public Utility
Holding Company Act (PUHCA)
"In this order we deny in part and grant in part the various requests for rehearing received by the Commission, and amend our regulations accordingly.
As a general matter, the Commission's order on rehearing recognizes Congress' clear intent to repeal the regulatory regime established by the Public Utility Holding Company Act (PUHCA) of 1935. Congressional intent is quite plain, since subtitle F of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 was titled "Repeal of PUHCA."
The PUHCA repeal rehearing order should facilitate investment in the electricity business by traditional utilities, nontraditional utilities, and financial institutions. It also accommodates efficient day-to-day financial operations of utility systems, while ensuring captive customers are protected.
The order on rehearing improves and clarifies our new regulations for implementing the Commission's new authorities concerning access to the books and records of holding companies and other companies in holding company systems, and our review and authorization of the allocation of costs for non-power goods or services. These new authorities were provided to the Commission under section 1264 and section 1275 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which although entitled the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 (PUHCA 2005), is a very different regulatory regime than the 1935 Act.
Contemporaneously with the Order on Rehearing, we are issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing a new Uniform System of Accounts and new record retention requirements necessary for implementing repeal of the 1935 Act and enactment of PUHCA 2005.
On rehearing of its final rules on PUHCA repeal and merger review, the Commission has harmonized discrepancies in its PUHCA and merger regulations. There is considerable overlap in the Commission's determinations in the PUHCA 2005 regulations and merger regulations, particularly with respect to new section 203(a)(2). The determination of whether an entity is a "public utility holding company" or an "electric utility company" under the Commission's PUHCA 2005 regulations may affect whether holding company acquisitions of securities require section 203 authorization. There is also overlap with respect to protecting captive customers.
In the PUHCA repeal rehearing order, we affirm our determination in the final rule that persons that own only exempt wholesale generators (EWGs), qualifying facilities (QFs), or foreign utility companies (FUCOs) are public utility holding companies. The rehearing order reaffirms these holding companies receive a blanket exemption from the PUHCA 2005 books and records requirements and the Commission's PUHCA regulations and clarifies that this is a self-effectuating exemption.
In addition, we require service companies that do not file Form No. 60 to file annually a description of their functions to be identified as FERC Form No. 61. In response to concern over self-certification of EWGs and FUCOs, such certifications will be noticed in the Federal Register, allowing interested persons an opportunity to object in particular cases. The PUHCA repeal rehearing order also adds a new requirement that persons with a waiver or exemption notify the Commission if facts or circumstances change.
In the Order on Rehearing, we find that many of the requests for rehearing addressed issues beyond the scope of the authority granted to us under PUHCA 2005; concerned matters that we believe are better handled under our existing authorities; or asked the Commission to require holding companies to provide information that is made available through other means, including FERC Form No. 1 and SEC Form 10-K.
For example, with respect to the argument that the exemption for transactions independent of public utilities should be interpreted to "ring fence" jurisdictional utilities from the holding-company's non-utility operations, we note that Order No. 667 rejected requests that urged the Commission to adopt new rules on cross-subsidization, encumbrances of utility assets, and diversification into non-utility businesses. We did so there, which we uphold here, because PUHCA 2005 gives the Commission no authority to issue additional rules in these areas and because we believe rules under the Federal Power Act and the Natural Gas Act are sufficient to prevent cross-subsidization.
With respect to the argument that the Commission should adopt regulations to prohibit public utilities from providing financial support to the non-utility businesses of their parent holding companies, the order notes PUHCA 2005 is primarily a books and records access statute and does not give the Commission any new substantive authorities, other than the requirement regarding review of certain non-power goods and services cost allocations. In addition, PUHCA 2005 does not give the Commission the authority to pre-approve holding company activities.
In addition to requests for rehearing that we decline to accept, there are certain matters raised on rehearing that the Commission revises, clarifies, or indicates will be addressed during a technical conference, to be held after we have had some experience with PUHCA 2005."

What is hospice and what does hospice do? Hospice is a philosophy of care focused on comfort and quality of life, intended to give seriously ill patients and their loved ones meaningful time together when the focus is on the people, not the disease.
Hospice is "comfort care," meaning it aggressively treats pain and other symptoms without trying to cure the illness. It is a whole package of care services that is almost always provided at the patient's home, whether that's a private residence or a care facility.
What is hospice? Hospice is not about giving up. And it's not a place, it's a service. Watch these videos to learn more about what hospice is - and what it isn't.
At VITAS, we work closely with our patients' doctors. We partner with hospitals, nursing homes, insurers and community-based organizations to address the discomfort, fears and high expenses that often accompany an incurable illness. This approach meets the needs of our patients and their families and helps manage care transitions: from hospital to home, from curative to palliative, from chronic to advanced.
We provide hospice care in patients' homes, as well as in dedicated inpatient hospice units, hospital beds, nursing homes and assisted living communities/residential care facilities—wherever people can benefit from comfort care. The goal is to support patients and manage their care in the setting they consider home. Learn more >
Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid/Medi-Cal and most private insurance. Since VITAS accepts Medicare and Medicaid as 100 percent coverage for its hospice services, there are no out-of-pocket expenses for eligible patients or their loved ones. Learn more >
