SALEM, Mass. – Needing two runs going into the top of the ninth Wilberto Sanjuro (Boston, Mass.) delivered in a big way as he drove in two runs on a triple to force Wednesday's non-conference game into extra innings. However with the sun quickly setting the non-conference duel would end with the score still tied at 8-8 between the Beacons (16-11-1) and Salem State University (24-8-1) at the Salem State Baseball Field.
The tie marked the first for UMass since the 2003 season and the first for head coach Brendan Eygabroat since taking over the Beacons eight seasons ago.
Sanjuro's game-tying triple in the ninth was the only hit for the senior as he entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the ninth. Outfielder Charles LaPaglia (Marshfield, Mass.) also swung a strong bat in Wednesday's contest as he crushed a three run home run in the top of the seventh, which at the time made it 7-5 in favor of Salem.
LaPaglia ended the day 2-for-4 with the three RBI and two runs scored. Matt Consiglio (Southbury, Conn.) and Jamill Moquette (Boston, Mass.) both extended their hitting streaks. With Consiglio's lone hit of the day, the junior infielder now stands at 10 straight games with at-least one hit. Moquette now sits with a 14 game hitting streak as he went 1-for-4 with a run scored.
Also recording an extra base hit was Jack DeBiase (Prospect, Conn.). The catcher turned designated hitter for the day went 3-for-5 with an RBI.
Kyle Szatrowski (Agawam, Mass.) got the start against the Vikings and went four complete innings and allowed four runs on six hits, while also striking out three. Later in the game Tom Cole (Mattapoisett, Mass.) would also go four innings and even though he gave up seven hits, Salem State did not record a run. The righty also struck out five batters in the process as well.
Baseball returns to action on Saturday when they host Keene State College at noon at Yetten Field in a Little East Conference doubleheader.

Grant to Hope College supports summer program for high school students | Business
Title (Max 100 Characters)
HOLLAND – For the fifth consecutive year, ExxonMobil has provided support for high school students to learn about the natural and applied sciences as participants in the summer research program at Hope College.
A $7,000 grant to the college supported the participation of five high school students in the REACH (Research Experiences Across Cultures at Hope) program this past summer. The award was presented at Hope earlier during the current fall semester by David Handy, a territory manager with ExxonMobil, and Matt Van Zanten and Abigail Albers, representing J&H Oil, a local ExxonMobil branded fuels marketing distributor.
Hope College has been offering research experiences for high school teachers and students for the past eight years through the REACH program. Students and teachers spend about six weeks on campus engaged in challenging and relevant research projects with Hope's science, engineering and mathematics faculty. The goal is to provide meaningful learning experiences to the students as they consider their interest in pursuing careers in one of the STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields in college, and to involve teachers in research activity that they can in turn apply to their own classroom teaching. The emphasis has been on recruiting students who come from backgrounds underrepresented in STEM careers. The REACH program has positively impacted career path choices for 95 high school students since 2006.
This past summer, five students who have been part of Hope's TRiO Upward Bound program were chosen for the research experiences and the funding from the ExxonMobil grant supported their five-week immersion experience. All five of the students, two women and three men, are now seniors at West Ottawa, Holland and Fennville high schools. The students were embedded in biochemistry, genetics, chemistry, and environmental science labs and each of them worked closely with Hope College undergraduates and faculty members.
"The summer REACH experience has been invaluable for the Upward Bound students," said Elizabeth Colburn, director of Hope College TRiO Upward Bound. "It not only gives them an opportunity to become immersed in a research lab working alongside professors and college students but also inspires them to continue working toward their goal of a college education."
"Upward Bound students enter the summer research program feeling a bit intimidated by the idea of working in a college science lab. They leave the program with a deeper understanding of what it means to conduct research, the importance of team work and communication, knowledge of science related careers, and confidence in their ability to pursue them," she said.
The REACH program reflects the college's ongoing commitment to continuing and expanding its long-running emphasis on student-faculty collaborative research as a teaching tool. In addition to working on projects during the school year, regularly more than 180 students conduct research full-time for several weeks each summer with faculty mentors. Those participating in summer research at the college include not only Hope students and the REACH program participants but also students from other colleges and universities supported through National Science Foundation "Research Experiences for Undergraduates" (NSF-REU) grants awarded to departments within the natural and applied sciences at Hope.

Q&A: Emirates' Flight Plan Puts Sports Marketing On Course For Global Growth
By Barry Janoff
July 23, 2012: Earlier this year, Emirates Airline signed a seven-year deal with the U.S. Tennis Assn. to become title sponsor of the U.S. Tennis Open Series and the official carrier of the U.S. Open Grand Slam.
Emirates called the pact, which industry analysts put at $100 million and runs through 2019, as the second largest among its estimated 100 sponsorship deals in terms of annual fees. Ahead of it: an estimated $200 million deal signed in 2006 making Emirates the first global airline sponsor of the FIFA World Cup (through 2014).
Emirates replaced Olympus as title sponsor of what is now the Emirates U.S. Open Series and replaced United Airlines (which in turn took over from Continental when the two carriers merged in 2010) as the official airline of the USTA.
According to Lew Sherr, chief revenue officer for the USTA, "Other airlines were also interested in [aligning with ] the USTA, both domestic and foreign. But Emirates showed us that they really valued the Open Series and the U.S. Open not only domestically but in global strategy. That was what, for us, placed them ahead of the others."
Both the title sponsorship of the ten-tournament Emirates U.S. Open Series that is now in progress and official alliance with the the U.S. Tennis Open that follows support the Dubai-based carrier's expansion in the U.S. and goal to expand its footprint worldwide.
The carrier currently has six U.S. destinations — New York, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas and Seattle (the latter two of which were added this year) — with Washington, D.C., coming in September.
Other marketing partners of the Emirates U.S. Open Series (which began the week of July 9 at Bank of the West Classic in Stanford, Calif., and runs through the week of Aug. 19 with the Winston-Salem Open) include American Express, PepsiCo's Gatorade, Chase, Citizen Watch, Esurance and Evian.
The U.S. Open runs Aug. 27-Sept. 9 at the USTA Billie Jean National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, NY.
Emirates is not a newcomer to the world of sports sponsorships. In 1987, just two years after its inception, the company began to form alliances in such sports as soccer, tennis, rugby, cricket, sailing and horse racing. In 2004, Emirates and Arsenal signed a 15-year deal estimated to be $157 million, including jersey-front sponsorship and naming rights to Arsenal's home stadium, which at the time was the biggest club sponsorship in English football history. In horse racing, Emirates is title sponsor of the $10 million Dubai World Cup.
Emirates' other tennis alliances include being the official airline of the BNP Paribas Open (Indian Wells, Calif.), the Rogers Cup (Canada) and the Internazionali BNL d'Italia and a sponsor of the Dubai Tennis Championship.
NYSportsJournalism spoke with Roger Duthie, head of global sponsorships for Emirates Airline, about the pros, cons and challenges facing the carrier in its first season with the USTA as it uses sports to expand its footprint in the U.S. and around the world.
NYSportsJournalism.com: Why did Emirates sign a seven-year deal with the USTA rather than a shorter one?
Roger Duthie: We are here for the long haul. We are backing this project with a seven-year deal, where we usually sign deals for one-to-three years or so. We see this as a great way to build our brand in the U.S. and around the world. We have been shifting our strategy and goals. We are now more of a lifestyle brand. And the messages we are getting out are very important. We are using the U.S. Open Series to get support the message about our lifestyle efforts. We want to be a Top 100 brand and we are using the U.S. Open Series to help us achieve our lofty goals. We love teams and sports and we want to share that feeling with fans.
NYSJ: How long has this strategy been planned?
RD: We have been looking at the big ticket sports in the U.S. for some time, in particular to support our U.S. expansion and the growth of our fleet. We looked at and considered the big four sports — MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL — regarding league-wide and individual team sponsorships. We also looked at the PGA Tour. We found that they were not a fit for us.
NYSJ: Was there any interest in Nascar, which has a huge following in the U.S. and elsewhere?
RD: No. We don't see Nascar fitting in with our strategy.
NYSJ: Why the U.S. Open Series?
RD: The global reach of the Series and of tennis complements our global growth strategy in the U.S., Japan, China, Europe, Dubai and elsewhere. And the Open Series gives us strong access to local communities. So we looked at the overall reach of the Open Series and saw that the events were televised locally, nationally and around the world. And with the U.S. Open, you have the last Grand Slam event of the year, which always attracts U.S. and global attention. And we are looking to an event with perhaps even more interest because of the [rankings among] Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
"We looked at and considered the big four sports: MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL. We also looked at the PGA Tour. We found that they were not a fit for us."
NYSJ: Any plans to sign individual athletes to endorsement deals?
RD: Many athletes love to fly Emirates, such as Tiger Woods and Novak Djokovic. You could see those [publicity] photos in newspapers. We have had the opportunity to sign [individual] athletes to endorsement contracts, but have chosen not to do so. That is and has been company policy. It is a strategy we have researched very intensely and which we do not take lightly. Emirates supports sports and athletes and all of the positive things they stand for. But when it comes to [signing endorsement deals with] athletes, there are too many factors involved. You just don't know what will happen.
NYSJ: Considering that he plays in the annual Omega Dubai Desert Classic at the Emirates Golf Club, which he has won twice, was Woods ever considered as a possible athlete endorser?
RD: Emirates [executives] were engaged in preliminary discussions with Tiger Woods' agent several years ago for a possible endorsement deal. But then he had his fall from grace, so we re-focused our attention on teams and leagues. But we are proud of the fact that Tiger Woods was and continues to be an Emirates passenger.
NYSJ: How does the seven-year deal to become title sponsor of the U.S. Tennis Open Series fit into the company's current and future strategy?
RD: This is our second biggest sponsorship in terms of fees paid per annum behind our deal with FIFA, and we have more than 100 sponsorships. Of course, the landscape is constantly changing. We are looking to make an impact in both the U.S. and globally. So we anticipate that we will get a strong return on the fees we are paying.
NYSJ: What stood out for Emirates regarding the USTA?
RD: We always look for premier partnerships that are associated with world-class events. The USTA certainly has a premier, world-class event with the U.S. Open and many of its other events. We wanted an alliance that would offer us the opportunity for hospitality and the opportunity to do something for local communities as well as global branding. We look for sports that enable us to engage with fans. We felt that in football or hockey, it would be difficult for us to have a meaningful fan experience. But when we looked at tennis and the USTA, we many opportunities available.
NYSJ: Have you learned anything from the FIFA alliance that you might take into or change with the USTA relationship?
RD: Emirates relaunched its global brand platform earlier this year, 'Hello, Tomorrow,' which impacted our sponsorship strategy. It's not about a product or the brand as much as sharing the fans' experience. We are trying to become a lifestyle brand. We what people's choice to be Emirates because of the product but also because it's a lifestyle. That's a key for us. So among the activation that we will have at tennis events in America will be offering Arabic coffee, hot towels, dates, things that enhance the lifestyle aspect. And we want to be an aspirational brand. We want people to want to fly Emirates. 'Here is what we are offering and we want you to be part of it.'
NYSJ: How would you quality brand awareness of Emirates in the U.S. right now?
RD: We have done research and studies. Since we unveiled this alliance with the USTA [in February] and our expansion in Dallas [in February] and Seattle [in March] has grown significantly. People in America know that Emirates is a sponsor of the U.S. Open Series. We will do more research after the summer and we expect the awareness to significantly rise again.
NYSJ: What elements will be part of what was called a "multimillion-dollar marketing campaign" to support the alliance with the USTA?
RD: We are covering all aspects. The seven-year partnership includes sponsorship rights include integrated consumer experiential elements and substantial digital media assets and opportunities. There will be strong [activation] in digital and social media, including a dedicated Web site {EmiratesUSOpenSeries.com]. We are running during the U.S. Open Series an online campaign in which we are asking people to locate one of our new A380 aircraft, which has the U.S. Open Series logo on it,. We are asking people take a picture of it, to tell us 'Where in the world is the A380?' and submit it to our Web site.
NYSJ: What about activation to support your presence at the U.S. Open itself?
RD: Relating to the U.S. Open, there will be print, Internet and other aspects. Emirates will have a significant on-court presence and also receive global promotional rights. You will see Emirates on [media partners] CBS Sports, ESPN2 and Tennis Channel through stadium signage, interstitials and in-broadcast features.
NYSJ: How do you expect the first year of this relationship to play out?
RD: We have a seven-year deal so there will be a building process. This is a learning experience for us. The first year, we are here to build our presence and to support the USTA. And to have fun and get children involved in the sport. We are learning and building together. At the end of the year, we will sit down with all our team members and the USTA and look at what we have done, where we can move forward, what did and didn't work. Every sponsorship has its KPI (key performance indicators), its business objectives, media return. So we will sit back and say 'That worked. That didn't work.' To see where we can get better.

| 2013-04-29
The New York Public Service Commission (PSC) adopted a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) in September 2004 and issued implementation rules in April 2005. As originally designed, New York's RPS had a renewables target of 25% of state electricity consumption by 2013, but was expanded in January 2010 to 30% by 2015 by order of the PSC. Of this 30%, approximately 20.7% of the target will be derived from existing renewable energy facilities and one percent (1%) of the target is expected to be met through voluntary green power sales in 2015.*
The remainder will be derived from new, eligible resources centrally procured by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Eligible new renewable resources fall into two tiers -- a Main Tier (roughly 91.56% of incremental renewables generation) and a Customer-Sited Tier (roughly 8.44%). Under the original standard, the CST was set at 2% of the incremental renewable generation required to meet the standard, but was expanded in April 2010 as part of the expansion of the RPS from 25% by 2013 to 30% by 2015.
NYSERDA manages an RPS fund gathered through a surcharge on each kilowatt-hour sold by the state's investor-owned utilities. The RPS surcharge is separate from and in addition to the state system benefits charge (SBC). Customers exempt from contributing to the SBC are also exempt from the RPS charge. Municipal utilities, the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) do not fall under the jurisdiction of this program, but have been encouraged by the PSC to adopt similar programs. LIPA has adopted a renewable energy goal equivalent to the state target.
Resources eligible for the Main Tier include methane digesters and other forms of biomass, liquid biofuels, fuel cells, hydroelectric power, photovoltaics (PV), ocean power, tidal power, and wind power. NYSERDA can procure Main Tier resources through auction, requests for proposals (RFPs), or standard offer contracts. Past procurements have taken the form of competitive RFPs for renewable energy attributes associated with eligible generation. NYSERDA purchases these attributes through contracts of varying lengths from energy producers. While the Main Tier seeks to foster the development of additional renewable resources in New York, existing renewable energy facilities will also be eligible if they began operation on or after January 1, 2003. Certain existing hydroelectric, wind turbine and biomass direct combustion facilities built prior to January 1, 2003, may also be eligible if they demonstrate a need for financial support.**
As circumstances have evolved the PSC has also issued numerous orders affecting a variety of different areas of the Main Tier. Most recently, in December 2010 three orders were issued that, in summary: (1) allow, with limitations, biomass sourced from mixed demolition debris to be considered a qualified biomass resource; (2) allow NYSERDA to issue solicitations for Main Tier projects at least once a year without an authorizing order from the PSC; and (3) allow in-state, behind-the-meter projects to qualify for Main Tier solicitations, subject to NYSERDA measurement and verification requirements. The full orders are available in Case 03-E-0188 at the program web site above.
The resources eligible for the Customer-Sited Tier (CST) are fuel cells, photovoltaics, solar hot water, wind turbines, and methane digesters. Solar hot water, as an alternative to electric hot water heating, was added as an eligible CST technology by the April 2010 PSC order setting terms for the CST through 2015. CST systems are generally limited to the size of the load at the customer's meter. The RPS supports incentive programs that previously were supported by the state's SBC. In August 2011 the PSC issued an order declining a petition to make elevator regenerative drives an eligible CST technology.
The PSC initially set overall funding for the Customer-Sited Tier at $45 million through 2009 with specific funding allocations for different technologies (see CST Operating Plan 2006-2009). Due to market demand the level of funding and the funding breakdown changed considerably over time, with the PV and anaerobic digester portions experiencing demand far in excess of their original funding allocations. Recent figures (see June 2009 PSC Order) put total funding through 2009 at $107.6 million (including administration costs), with roughly 70% devoted to PV. A subsequent February 2010 PSC Order authorized an additional $21 million in interim funding to allow NYSERDA to continue the CST program through June 2010.
The CST was reauthorized and expanded in April 2010 as part of the larger expansion of the RPS to 30% by 2015. The revision allocated additional funding totaling $279 million for CST programs similar to those supported by the original CST program. However, the order also provided for the creation of a separate CST program designed to achieve a greater geographic balance in renewable energy development. This program component will offer a combination of capacity based and performance incentives through periodic competitive solicitations to PV, anaerobic digesters, fuel cells, and combined heat and power (CHP) systems of 50 kilowatts (kW) or larger. A total of $150 million has been authorized for this program -- $30 million annually from 2011 through 2015 – broken down by NYISO zone.
In April 2012 the PSC issued two separate orders affecting the funding and operation of the CST. The PSC's April 20, 2012 Order authorized the reallocation of $17.6 million in unencumbered 2011 funds to the 2012 small PV incentive program and a further $1.5 million to the 2012 small wind incentive program. A more far reaching order was issued several days later in response to the recently unveiled NY-Sun Initiative, which sets a goal of quadrupling 2011 annual PV capacity installation within the state by 2013. The PSC's April 24, 2012 Order provided additional funding of $13.5 million for the small PV incentive program for 2013 program year, $36.4 million to the Geographic Balancing program for the 2012 program year, and $40.5 million to the Geographic Balancing program for the 2013 program year. It should be noted that the order does not establish an equivalent increase in the overall CST program target, though NYSERDA's revised CST Operating Plan approved in June 2012 does include an increase.The PSC will consider further funding additions for the 2014 and 2015 program years as part of its scheduled review of the RPS in 2013.
To encourage the growth of the state's voluntary green-power market to meet the 1% target, Commission has adopted a set aside provision of 5% of a renewable facility's output. Accordingly, renewable generators must demonstrate that at least 5% of their output is available for voluntary green market sales outside the RPS program. (NYSERDA will pay incentives for only 95% of a project's actual monthly output up to the contract amount).
In the past the PSC has indicated that it supports a transition to a certificate-based attribute accounting system similar to other systems deployed in the market region (e.g. NEPOOL GIS and PJM GATS). Furthermore, the PSC has stated that it supports a regionally compatible tracking system that can fully support the state's environmental disclosure program. In August 2012, the state enacted A.B. 6114 requiring the development of a New York Generation Attribute Tracking System and NYSERDA is currently working to implement this requirement.
According to the 2013 RPS Performance Report, through 2012 a total of eight Main Tier procurements has resulted in contracts for expected production of 4.49 million MWh in 2015, or about 47% of the ultimate 2015 target of 9.52 million MWh. The same report indicates that through 2012 CST contracts totaling almost 288,000 MWh in 2015 were in place, equivalent to 33% of the ultimate 2015 target of roughly 878,000 MWh.*** In 2009 the PSC undertook a review of the RPS, focusing their analysis on program implementation; cost effectiveness and benefit/cost analysis; impacts on the energy system reliability and economic development; and market conditions, including impacts of the program and other factors on the development of wholesale, retail, and voluntary power markets for renewable resources. Click here to view historical annual reports, evaluation documents, and other RPS related resources from NYSERDA, including the 2009 comprehensive RPS Evaluation Report.
*The total incremental increase in renewable energy production as a result of this law is expected to be 8.09% (see April 2010 PSC Order, Appendix, Table 17). This calculation takes into account electricity consumption forecasts and expected generation from baseline resources. It does not include the 1% voluntary green power goal or the state's governmental green power purchasing goal (an additional 0.21%) under Executive Order 111. The CST targets listed above are calculated on the basis of the MWh CST goal established under the 2012-2015 Operating Plan in relation to forecast total state electric consumption (0.5764%) and as a percentage of total RPS MWh target (8.44%), which does not include LIPA's expected contribution under a self-imposed goal.
**See Appendix A of the April 2005 PSC order for a more complete listing of eligible technologies, including identification of requirements associated with the use of the technologies. Note that the PSC has made several changes to the criteria for eligible biomass technologies.
***The CST target identified in the 2013 RPS Performance Report (878,089 MWh) differs slightly from the Total CST target (729,479 MWh) listed in Table 17 of the Appendix of the April 2010 PSC Order establishing the CST through 2015. The reason for this difference is related to subsequent funding changes, primarily the creation of the NY-SUN program that will expand the amount of customer-sited solar generation built in the state. The increase in the CST is offset by a decrease in the Main Tier target, keeping the overall MWh target at the same level.

Sophomore Christo Schultz has been a big lift for Harvard in the second half as he is undefeated in singles (4-0) play and has helped Harvard to its best start since the 2005 season. (Gil Talbot)
The Particulars
Harvard hosts Virginia Tech and Boston University at the Murr Center Tennis Courts on Saturday. Matches against the two schools will be slated for 2 p.m. against the Hokies and 6 p.m. against the Terriers.
Last Time Out
Harvard returns home after a three-match, three-day, road trip that saw it play No. 43 Vanderbilt, No. 25 Indiana and Butler.
The Crimson faced the Hoosiers on Saturday and battled hard but was unable to defeat Indiana suffering its first loss of the season by a score of 5-2.
Harvard rebounded with authority on Sunday, as it pounded Butler 7-0, not losing a match to earn its fifth win of the season
Scouting The Competition
Virginia Tech
The Hokies enter this contest with a 2-1 dual match record after defeating No. 39 Nebraska, 4-3 and Penn State, 6-1. Its lone loss came to No. 4 Georgia, getting swept 7-0. Luke Somen has played out of the No. 1 spot this year and is 1-1 through three matches.

When it comes to the series history between Harvard and its two opponents this weekend the Crimson hold a decided edge over both. Harvard is 9-0 against both the Hokies and the Terriers.
Movin' On Up
When the ITA rankings first came out on Jan. 3, Harvard was ranked No. 70, however since that time the Crimson have impressed the ITA pundits as it has risen 10 spots in the last three weeks. After defeating No. 73 Drake and No. 43 Vanderbilt the following week Harvard moved up to No. 60.
Impressive Start
Headed into this weekend the Crimson stand at 5-1 one with its only lost coming at the hands of No. 25 Indiana. The quick start for Harvard is the team's best since the 2005 season when it opened with 6-0 mark.
Youth Movement
Its been well documented so far this season how impressive the class of 2015 has been, and as each week passes the list of contributions for its members continues to grow. While the early triumphs of Denis Nguyen, Alex Steinroeder and Herny Steer have been a reoccuring theme, just recently a new member of the freshman class has emerged as a consistent contributor. Shaun Chaudhuri is undefeated in singles play through six matches with a 6-0 mark (3-0 in both the No. 5 and No. 6 spot).
Conference Killers
Harvard last week knocked off a team from the SEC, defeating No. 43 Vanderbilt 4-3. The Crimson has another opportunity to take down a high profile conference shool when it meets the ACC's Virginia Tech. The last time that the Crimson played an SEC and ACC team in the same year was 2008 when it played No 47 Kentucky and No. 1 Virginia falling 4-3 and 6-1, respecitvely.

(Spoiler alert, dear Waldorf friends, we've got a basket of these little houses coming your way on the day before winter break!)
This year, since we're still house hunting and living at my mum and dad's, we had access to some good tools and even better helpers. Opa and his table saw started us off in our production by sawing a pointy edge from a regular ol' 2x4. (Cost: about $3)
He then chopped it up into smaller pieces.
Then Naiya, Oma and I sanded down the rough edges.
Sanding can be messy business so we stood out in the 30-something degree weather smoothing down those splintery corners.
Back inside we mixed up a platter of rainbow goodness and set to work with our acrylics.
They sat on the table for a couple of days and got more and more elaborate with glitter, fancy paper and lots of painted embellishments.
We finished them off with a screw eye and bit of ribbon for simple ornaments we hope the kids will enjoy.

The new BMW M6 convertible must be a lot of fun to drive, because one auto journalist from the Pacific Northwest managed to hit 136 MPH on a public street during a vehicle launch in California last month. We have a record of this not because the journalist admitted to it in an article, but because he got popped by the California Highway Patrol.
It's just another case of "Driving While An Auto Journalist."
Why, exactly, this particular journo decided he needed to go nearly 81 mph over the speed limit is a little unclear. Yes, you can learn about a vehicle's high speed stability over 100 mph, but that's usually limited to the track or the Autobahn.
I've definitely exceeded the speed limit on a public road in a press car, as most auto journalists have, but I've yet to get caught and can't imagine a scenario when I'd go this fast on what looks like an undivided local road without zombies being involved.
For going over 100 MPH, this particular journalist gets ticketed under California Vehicle Code Secion 22348 for "Excessive Speed."
Assuming this is his first ticket, he has this to look forward to.
Upon a first conviction of a violation of this subdivision, by a fine of not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500). The court may also suspend the privilege of the person to operate a motor vehicle for a period not to exceed 30 days pursuant to Section 13200.5.
I'd say someone gets a ticket on roughly 50% of the press drives, based on my experience. It's better than flipping a car, I suppose.
UPDATE: They're trying to guess who it is over at JimRomenesko.com.

Ultimate Adventure 2012 SponsorsPosted in Ultimate Adventure: 2012 on December 1, 2012
The Ultimate Adventure is serious fun and serious business. It takes time, planning, and a fair amount of dough to make this weeklong wheelfest a reality each year. Contrary to what some may believe, we are not cruising around in corporate helicopters and living the highlife here in magazine land. Like any media business model, we need an audience (you) and sponsors to keep things afloat.
To sponsor the UA means you are dedicated to wheeling and supporting our industry. Historically, many of our gracious sponsors have used the UA as a testbed for new products like tires, suspensions, and drivetrain products. And unlike the disconnected suits that run Wall Street, our industry titan's actually play in the dirt like the rest of us. We are grateful for all of their help, and ultimately we all benefit from their participation.
Presenting Sponsor & Official Vehicle: Jeep
For over 70 years Jeep has provided wheeling enthusiast with incredible build platforms and showroom-ready wheelers. For this year's UA the off-road legacy brand signed on as the official presenting sponsor and title vehicle. Teamed up with Jeep, we were able to take one of Jeep's newest offerings, the '12 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, and create a one-off JK (aka the Off-Roadster) to lead our adventure. Staffed with outdoor enthusiast, Jeep also sent two engineers along for a little R&D and R&R. It's great to see a company that genuinely cares about off-road enthusiasts, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for the brand that continues to set the off-road benchmark.
Official Tire: Nitto Tire
Coming back for the second year as the official tire of the Ultimate Adventure, Nitto Tire continued to be a great fit. With a huge product line spanning the Grappler namesake, Nitto has shown dedication and enthusiasm for both the competition and recreation sides of the wheeling world. With Nitto's latest 40-inch Trail Grapplers fitted under the Off-Roaster, the JK had no trouble digging up traction. Like last year, all rigs running Nittos made it through the treacherous week of wheeling without a single tire failure. This is no easy task and a record we and Nitto would love to see continue.
Nitto Tire
Official Recovery Rope: Bubba Rope
Whether it was a slick hillclimb, a sandy ridge, or a huge rock ledge, the Bubba Rope crew had some type of recovery strap for each occasion. We've had excellent luck with the original Bubba Rope in the past, and this year we got great use out of the new Tree Hugger line when we needed a safe winch point. Given the swampy and wet terrain on this year's Pacific Northwest tour, we were sure glad the Bubba Rope crew signed back on! Like the shirt says, they are more than just your average mudder's rope!
Bubba Rope
Official Fenders: GenRight
The factory Jeep Wrangler JK fenders leave plenty to be desired. The stock plastic isn't the most heavy-duty, and the rounded design isn't particularly useful for setting down your favorite trail beverage on. Fortunately, GenRight has a simple and lightweight solution for your stock fender woes with its aluminum fender set. GenRight offers a full line of steel and aluminum armor, and these guys were nice enough to come out to the UA and demonstrate how well their product line works. We're happy not only to have the great aftermarket support, but it was nice to have a stable place to rest our suds at the end of the day!
805.584.8635 www.genright.com
Official Transfer Case: Offroad Design
Making big look good for well over a decade is the Watson family at Offroad Design. Each year companies use the UA as a testbed or proving grounds for new products. One of this year's now production-ready devices being put under pressure was ORD's Magnum Underdrive gearbox. We gave you the exclusive on the underdrive system in the Oct. '12 issue ("Magnum Box") and are happy to report that the new-to-market gear system worked flawlessly on the trip.
Offroad Design
Official Fabricator/Build Shop: Hazzard Fabworx
Each year we dream up some over-the-top rig to build for the UA and then have to find a shop crazy enough to accept our challenge. Taking on a UA build means more than just providing labor; the shop has to absorb crazy deadlines and deliver never-before-seen ideas like cutting in half a Jeep that's literally brand-new! This year's official fabricator, Hazzard Fabworx, was up to the challenge. With Luke Shuman and Rocky Dorame hard on the job, in just a few months they hammered out the over-the-top JK we call OJ or the Off-Roadster ("OJ the Ultimate Orange Jeep," Aug.-Dec. '12). The guys were even nice enough to come on the adventure to make sure the week went trouble-free, which it did. Great job, guys!
Hazzard Fabworx
Official Axle: Spidertrax
A quality axle set is one of the most important and best investments that you can make under a vehicle. With the Spidertrax axle company moving locations, the crew was unable to attend this year's UA, but they still showed their support by coming onboard as the official axle of the build. The custom Spidertrax housings under the Off-Roadster performed flawlessly all week, and the rear-steer axle gave the two-door Jeep the nimbleness it needed to make it through the trails virtually damage-free. From wheel spacers to builder-friendly axlehousings, Spidertrax has a host of American-made axle products.
Official Winch: Warn Industries
Warn, the UA's longest standing sponsor, has been proving out its parts and winches on our trip for over a decade. This year was particularly special, as we got to see firsthand Warn's headquarters and meet the men and women who manufacture the fine American-made products. With a wide range of winches, accessories, and topnotch recovery gear, Warn continues to sustain its legendary quality. Like years before, we and the majority of the crew used our winches almost daily and were happy to have Warn along to help.
Warn Industries
Official Armor: Synergy Suspension
Losing an engine midweek was only a minor setback for the Synergy crew, as the UA team was able to pull together and get their rig back moving. As the official armor of the event, Synergy fitted the Orange Jeep with dual front winch mount bumpers, skidplates, and beefy rocker guards. All of the armor did its job, and not even the boulder-lined trails could crumple the heavy-duty protection.
Synergy Suspension
Official Suspension: Zone Offroad Products
Offering quality and affordable components is a mainstay for the Zone Offroad Products brand. Using the company's nicely dialed Jeep MJ on the trip, the Zone crew continued to R&D and prove out future products in the ultimate weeklong torture test. An ever-growing brand, the Zone product line is extremely diverse. With Zone's JK prototype long-arm fitted under the Off-Roadster, we were happy to report that the suspension worked flawlessly and remained trouble-free throughout the week.
Zone Offroad Products
Official Retailer: Off -Road Power Products
When you need a place to purchase your off-road goodies, Off-Road Power Products is a great place to start. As the official retailer for this year's adventure, the OPP crew were always eager to lend a hand or try and round up a part for those in need. The guys at OPP are also big diesel enthusiast, which was very apparent by their 4BT-powered JK and the triple-turbo Cummins diesel Ram that hauled around our film crew all week. So the next time you are in the market for a new off-road widget, be sure to give these fun-loving guys a call.
Off-Road Power Products
Helpful Handhelds
Communication on the trail and road is crucial when you have a group as big as ours. CB radios work great, but it's nice to have something a little more mobile when you are trying to spot a rumbling rig from outside of the vehicle. Rugged Radio was nice enough to set up an Ultimate Adventure channel for the guys on the trip and lend us handheld race radios for the week. Theses rechargeable handhelds were a great help and worth checking out if you are looking for an easy way to keep in touch with your buddies on the trail from both inside and out of the vehicle.

British Airways offer frequent flights from London Heathrow and London CIty to Frankfurt.
Choose from our wide range of hotels in Frankfurt and combine with flights or car hire to save.
With over 40 museums in town, Frankfurt city breaks are ideal for art lovers. From the Städel museum's large old master collection to the tiny Museum of Applied Art, the city's riverside is studded with galleries, complemented by the embankment's Saturday flea market.
Elsewhere, Frankfurt's mix of modern towers with an old town of slanting, half-timbered houses gives it one of Europe's most striking cityscapes – only London comes close to its jarring contrasts. And while business powers Frankfurt, it doesn't always dominate it. The intact late 19th century streets of the Nordend neighbourhood still have an alternative, bohemian feel despite gentrification, while the Ostend areas clubs show Frankfurt's place at the centre of Germany's electronic music scene.

The delicate "CACTUS!" hole motif has graced a particularly pleasing and successful series of products and it has become one of Alessi's iconic patterns, symbolising its mastery of laser-cut steel.
Born in Bergamo, Italy, Laura Polinoro graduated in Drama Art and Music Studies in Bologna. Her first job was in the field of contemporary dance as art director and costume and set designer. Later she undertook research at the Domus Academy in Milan.

Transfer news: West Ham must sell before bringing anyone else in, says David Gold
West Ham United co-owner David Gold admits the club are short of a striker, but says they must sell before recruiting.
Last Updated: 19/08/13 9:42am
The Hammers have landed Andy Carroll on a permanent deal this summer, but the England international is currently sidelined with a heel problem.
Modibo Maiga is the only recognised senior forward on the books at Upton Park who is fully fit at present, and he started Saturday's 2-0 victory over Premier League new boys Cardiff City.
Sam Allardyce would welcome the opportunity to bolster his ranks before the transfer window slams shut, but he has reached his limit in terms of player salaries.
That means he must free up his own funds, with Gold revealing that players must be moved on before any more can be brought in.
He told Sky Sports News: "We have reached our target laid down by the new rules in terms of wages.
"The only possibility now is if players are sold. That's up to Sam, that's in his hands. If he releases wages, that will give us the opportunity to bring in replacements for those players.
"I think it's clear that we are still short of a striker. David Sullivan agrees with that, Sam agrees with that, but until we release those wages by players leaving, there is little we can do.
"The next couple of weeks, we will see what happens."

Later today, flamboyant British multi-millionaire Richard Branson will commemorate the completion of the main runway of Spaceport America, near the town of Las Cruces, New Mexico, where the Virgin Galactic project is based. Here's a look before Branson's big bash.
SpaceShipTwo, which could carry paying customers into suborbital space by early 2012, had its maiden flight in the California desert in March.
Later today, the aircraft — re-christened the VSS Enterprise — will stage a fly-by pass high above the new two-mile long, 200-foot (60-meter) wide runway in tandem with its mothership, known as WhiteKightTwo or "Eve."
These photos, taken earlier this week, show the runway's taking shape quite nicely. Even construction on the main terminal and hangers appear to be coming along in time for a 2012 opening.
Below, the final rendering of what the spaceport should look like upon completion.
Maybe the dream of private spaceflight isn't as far off as we once thought.

ew places in America possess the breadth of natural and designed scenic beauty, the magical and eerie charm, and the immediate presence of the past as the historic district of the city of Savannah, Georgia. Strolling through the old city's rigid, grid pattern streets, down its linear brick walkways, past over 1,100 residential and public buildings of unparalleled architectural richness and diversity, visitors and residents come to appreciate the original plan which has existed intact since Savannah's founding in 1733. Twenty-four tree-shaded, park-like open spaces called "squares" are the essence of the city. One of the few surviving colonial city plans in the United States, Savannah is a testament to the ingenuity of Georgia's founders.

Environ II™ (EV II) is the WarmlyYours floor heating product which is specially designed for a floating floor application. There are a few things to keep in mind when installing floating wood or laminate floors with electric radiant heat.
The EVII System is a very thin (1/16") mat that is installed between the underlayment and the flooring. The EVII system has 1/4" diameter electric lead for each mat. This fact is very important to remember. If the floating floor is going to be installed over concrete, it will require an underlayment that is the same height as the electric lead. 1/4" cork is the perfect underlayment for this application. It provides enough height above the concrete to return the electric leads back to the thermostat, and it provides insulation from the "heat-robbing" concrete slab. Be sure to follow the cork manufacturer's recommendations for attaching the cork to the type of sub-floor you have.
If the floating floor is being installed over a wood sub-floor and floor height is a concern, the installer can use a router to route out a 1/4" path in the wood for each mat's lead. The routed path will accommodate the leads return back to the thermostat (as long as the structural integrity of the sub-floor is not compromised).Doing this will allow use of a thinner underlayment over the wood sub-floor.
In addition to keeping these facts in mind, please follow the flooring manufacturer's recommendations regarding the installation of their product. With most floating flooring, the flooring is never affixed to the subfloor. Never nail the flooring down, and always allow for the recommended expansion of the flooring around the perimeter of the room. This means that there is going to be a gap between the flooring and the wall. This gap allows the flooring to expand & contract as the weather conditions change. If this simple rule isn't followed, the floor will probably become uneven.
If the installer ever has any questions during the EV II floor heating installation, they can always call us 24/7 at (800) 875-5285.
We won't share your information and you can unsubscribe at any time with a single click.

One of the Boulder police officers arrested on felony charges in connection with the shooting of an elk in Mapleton Hill earlier this month told other officers he planned to kill the elk during a shift briefing nearly a week before the killing, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Boulder police officers Sam Carter, 35, and Brent Curnow, 38, face charges of forgery, tampering with physical evidence, attempting to influence a public official -- all felonies -- as well as unlawful taking of a trophy elk, conspiracy, a Samson surcharge, killing an elk out of season, unlawful use of an electronic device to unlawfully take wildlife and first degree official misconduct -- all misdemeanors.
Investigators believe Carter shot the elk and Curnow took it home to butcher it. The arrest warrant affidavit details text messages the two officers exchanged to plan and carry out the killing the night of Jan. 1. But the arrest warrant affidavit also says that Carter discussed wanting to kill the elk in front of other officers at a work meeting almost a week beforehand.
"During the interviews with Carter's fellow shift officers, which were done separately for each officer, several of the officers reported independently that in a shift briefing meeting on 12/26/12 Officer Carter mentioned that he was planning on killing the elk," the arrest warrant affidavit said.
Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner said Saturday he had not spoken with the other officers at the shift meeting, but he has not heard any indication from criminal investigators that other officers were involved in a conspiracy.
"If they said something very specific," Beckner said, referring to what would raise concerns about other officers covering for Carter and Curnow. "Cops say a lot of things and joke around about a lot of things because it's a stressful job, and you could make all sorts of hay about it if you wanted to. If he said something very specific, if we find that out in the internal investigation, we'll deal with it."
Beckner placed the officers on paid administrative leave shortly after learning of the shooting, which was not reported to shift supervisors or dispatchers, as officers typically would, and that was changed to unpaid leave when the officers were arrested Friday.
While an internal investigation is still underway, Beckner said the actions described in the arrest affidavit would typically result in termination.
Rita Anderson, policy and investigations specialist for In Defense of Animals, said, "If they took him seriously, they had an obligation to report it. They certainly should have reported it. They had an obligation if they thought he was serious. It depends on if he said it jokingly."
Anderson, a Boulder resident, added, "I would definitely have reported it. I don't want to lay blame on those officers, but I would have reported it. It's sort of a sick thing to joke about in my book, but the context in which he said it is certainly important."
Boulder resident JoOnna Silberman, who lives at 3rd and Spruce streets, and often saw the elk near her front door in the morning, was also disturbed by the latest report.
"I absolutely think it should affect the prosecution," said Silberman. "...As this goes on, it gets more absolutely flabbergasting to me."
Silberman added, "It saddens me if they thought it was a joke, but they don't take animals as seriously. If he had said he was going to a kill a woman on the corner they would have taken it seriously. Maybe if it had been a person, but the fact that the word elk was in there instead of the word person, that changes things.
"Why would you think that was a joke? If I had heard that it would have concerned me greatly."
Earlier this month, Beckner said he did not think the officers' actions, as well as several other incidents in the last 18 months in which officers and former officers were charged with serious crimes, reflected on the department's culture. He asked the public to judge the department on how it handles such cases when they arise and said the department was fully cooperating with the investigation.
Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett said investigators are still working on the case and "looking at everything." If additional misconduct comes to light, there could be more charges filed.The City Council has asked Garnett to brief the council on Tuesday about the case. According to an affidavit, Carter told police the day after the shooting that he encountered an elk while on patrol near Mapleton Avenue and Ninth Street late Jan. 1 that he said was injured and needed to be put down.
Carter then allegedly killed the animal with a shotgun, and Curnow -- who was off-duty -- came to pick up the carcass with the help of an on-duty Boulder County sheriff's deputy, identified as Jeff George.
George does not face any charges in the incident at this time. During the investigation, no neighbors who saw the elk in the hours leading up to the shooting noticed it was injured, and they also said it never appeared to be aggressive.
In addition, a necropsy of the elk performed at Colorado State University found no signs of any significant trauma, and investigators never found evidence of a car strike at the scene.

On my initial Alaskan cruise several years ago, I had a truly memorable swimming experience. We'd gone much earlier in the season. The pool on top of the ship was heated, and it was in the 60's outside. I had a relaxing time, lazily swimming back and forth as the water sloshed with the ship's motion. Most people were downstairs playing bingo or napping or whatever, and I had the area to myself. It was quite nice.
Until a wind kicked up. And the temperature dropped. I wasn't too alarmed, as I was comfortable in the pool, and my bathrobe and towel were within arm's reach.
Then it began snowing. A LOT. And the temp dropped into the 30's. And when a strong gust of wind struck I watched in horror as my bathrobe and towel blew into the gulf of Alaska (I later got billed for them, too).
I was trapped in the pool.
The distance from the pool to the nearest door was only about 50 feet. Not so long. But when you are soaking wet, with nothing other than a wet bathing suit, and it's 37° F, with 40 mph winds, and snowing, that 50 feet looks like a light year.
I jumped out of the warm pool. The blast of cold was awful. It was the longest 50 feet of my life. By the time I got inside I had a lump in my throat, which I'd previously used to urinate with.
With that in mind, I'm glad the Smorgasbord has a covered pool.
For those of you with my vice, I give you the most valuable cruising tip of all: When you walk on board, the ABSOLUTE FIRST THING you should do is go straight to the nearest bar (usually you enter the ship near the lobby one) and buy a soda card (fountain card on some lines). They give you a card, or put a sticker on your ship ID, giving you access to unlimited Diet Coke (or lesser soft drinks of your choice) for the duration of the trip. A Diet Coke bought individually is $2.50. So for someone like me the $55/7 day card pays for itself in, oh, say, 20 minutes.
The Smorgasbord's cruise director is Stu. Like all cruise directors, he always sounds like he lives on Prozac and coffee, and can make even the most mundane activity, or dire emergency, sound like something that will be a hell of a lot of fun you don't want to miss.
Stu, although a native English speaker, isn't native to the American dialect. As a result he routinely wishes us a "cracking day". Fortunately, by reading ABB regularly, I've come to learn that this doesn't involve what Americans normally refer to as crack (unless you consider the oversupply of poorly fitted bathing suits at the pool).
He's a good guy, but personally, I preferred Goose, from our July, 2009 cruise. Besides the name, Goose also had his morning phone-in TV show, and the drunken/stupid/both calls he got reminded me of a typical day at my office.
At lunch today, to my surprise, my cell phone rang. I figured only Mary or Annie would be calling me directly, so I answered it.
Dr. Grumpy: "Hello? This is Dr. Grumpy."
Ms. Slowhuc: "Yes, this is Local Hospital. We have a consult for you, on the lady in room 755."
Dr. Grumpy: "I'm in Alaska."
Ms. Slowhuc: "That's okay, the nurse said you can do it tomorrow."
Dr. Grumpy: "No. I'm on vacation. I won't be home for a while."
Ms. Slowhuc: "You are refusing the consult?"
Dr. Grumpy: "I'm not there! Dr. Cortex is covering. Please call..."
Ms. Slowhuc: "But the consult isn't for Dr. Cortex. It's for you."
Dr. Grumpy: "But he's covering for me."
Ms. Slowhuc: "They asked for you."
Dr. Grumpy (sigh): "Just call him. Trust me."
After lunch I went golfing with the kids and their cousins. Marie's shot off the 8th hole is now somewhere at the bottom of the Inside Passage (she really doesn't grasp the difference between driving and putting very well). I got billed for a lost ball. At least it's cheaper than the basketball I put overboard last Summer off Mexico.
My parent's are both vitamin addicts, and don't go anywhere without their little Ziploc baggies of pills. And a watch with multiple alarms that go off to remind them when they're supposed to take what. I think the constant beeping and chirping at different times of dinner scared our waiter Vladimir, who was afraid we had a bomb under the table (actually, Craig was under the table, trying to tie my shoes together).
Today we're quietly heading north. To my disappointment, we aren't visiting Prince Rupert, which is a pretty little town in western British Columbia. It's historically an interesting place, more because of what it might have been. I was there a few years ago.
In the early 20th century, as trade between North America and the far east developed, west coast ports grew increasingly busy. Charles Hays, General Manager of a railroad company, aggressively developed the area. He realized that it was geographically close enough to Japan to significantly shorten shipping routes, and wanted to make the town the major hub for western North American shipping. The plans might have made Prince Rupert an immense metropolis had they been carried through.
But Mr. Hays died in 1912 on the Titanic, and his dreams for Prince Rupert went with him. In retrospect, the area is so lovely that it's probably best they never happened.
A particularly interesting feature of Prince Rupert is the harbor park, which is designed to be a memorial for those lost in the Pacific. The centerpiece is an oddly out-of-place Japanese fishing boat, resting under a Shinto shrine. There is a sad story behind it.
On September 26, 1985 retired civil servant Kazukio Sakamoto left Owase, Japan, for a routine fishing trip in his boat the Kazu Maru. He never returned.
On March 26, 1987 a Canadian patrol vessel off British Columbia's Queen Charlotte island encountered a capsized, but still floating, hull covered with barnacles and weeds. They towed it to the harbor, where it was found to be the missing Kazu Maru. It had floated from Japan across to Canada. In a bizarre coincidence, Owase and Prince Rupert have been sister cities since the 1960's.
There was no trace of Mr. Sakamoto, and his demise remains a mystery. With the permission of his family, the boat was made the centerpiece of the park, and remains there today as a poignant reminder of those lost at sea.
