Is that old smoothie Stuart Rose off at last?
Sir Stuart to you. But yes, Marks & Spencer will shortly have to cope without him. Having been replaced as chief executive by Marc Bolland earlier this year, Sir Stuart is to give up the chairmanship early in 2011 and Mr Swannell is to replace him.
Will he be as entertaining?
Probably not. While Sir Stuart's acerbic wit is deployed regularly in public, Mr Swannell is renowned as an investment banker to whom the word gentlemanly doesn't quite do justice. Sir Stuart is often seen quaffing champagne in Annabel's, whereas a liking for Bob Dylan is about as racy as the new man gets.
So what does he know about the retail business?
Not as much as his predecessor, but he has been chairman of HMV for the past 18 months, so he's got to know the high street.
But selling CDs to teenagers isn't quite the same as running Britain's favourite shop
Perhaps not, but Mr Swannell knows M&S pretty well – the retailer has him to thank for the fact it escaped the clutches of Sir Philip Green during that vicious takeover battle in 2004. He and Sir Stuart go way back and his friend only joined M&S on the condition that Mr Swannell would be appointed its investment banker. The pair of them then saw off Sir Philip.
He can fight his corner, then?
Well gentlemanly doesn't have to mean soft, you know. In a 33-year City career – he joined Schroders in 1977 and stood down in March as a vice-president of Citigroup, which 10 years ago bought the bank – he is the veteran of a string of boardroom battles. He advised on the Grand Metropolitan deal with Pernod Ricard and more recently on the sales of P&O, Pilkington and Safeway. Just for good measure, he helped Roman Abramovich to buy Chelsea FC.
Goodness, is M&S planning some sort of takeover spree?
Maybe – it has already been linked with a bid for Ocado, the loss-making online grocery business whose value has plummeted since its flotation last month. But the appointment may just signal M&S that is keen to improve relations with the City – Sir Stuart has been fun, but there's no denying he's put a few noses out of joint.

"The recent expression of difference of opinion on a particular issue on the MA63 between me and Dr Jeffrey does not mean there's a crack in the opposition alliance of GABUNGAN SABAH," said Datuk Seri Panglima Wilfred Bumburing.
He added that this is a domestic problem which can be trashed out within the alliance.
"Gabungan Sabah was forged on a wide range of understanding on so many issues affecting Sabah and Malaysia as a whole. A disagreement on a single issue does not at all reflect any overall difference within the alliance. The report on the issue was sensationalised out of proportion.
"I was asked to commend on the report on the submission by DR Jeffrey on behalf of MYSabah on the issue of MA63. I have asked whether the submission is confined to the 40% net revenue entitlement of Sabah to which I was told that it includes MA63. I responded to clarify about the joint letter signed by four parties.
"I have learned that Dr Jeffrey had explained that the submission was made before the Gabungan joint letter. If that is the case there is no problem. If Dr Jeffrey had informed us about his earlier submission through MySabah we could have taken an appropriate approach to the issue. What we in PCS are concerned is the integrity of what we have agreed on certain matters," said Wilfred.

Classic, Traditional & High Tech
By Brea

Comments about All-Clad All Clad Stainless Steel Round Electric Waffle Maker:
It can't get any better than perfect with this WI! Besides being so perfect to look at it's above functional and is easy to operate. It's fool-proof in that the ready tone takes all the guessing out of waffle done preference. For family breakfasts and brunches I prepare all the meats and a traditional batter, but I like everyone (that is able) to prepare their own eggs, waffles, pancakes, toast, etc when they are ready for it because it just takes all the burden and pressure off me having to be a short order cook and in the kitchen for hours. This also accommodates late sleepers. My waffle preference is medium dark and crispy outside and chewy inside. The AC-WI accommodates all ranges of the waffle spectrum. It's, solid, heavy and well made. Looks simply stellar on the granite countertop
Excellent Waffle Maker

Comments about All Clad Stainless Steel Round Electric Waffle Maker:
Great for making classic plate-size breakfast waffles. Audible alerts tell you when cooking surface is ready and when waffles are done. Design minimizes batter spills. Best waffle maker I've ever owned.

Before I bought this waffle iron I searched hard for a regular, not Belgian-style waffle iron to replace one that was breaking down. There were some photos on the net of this one failing - batter overflowing onto the counter top, waffles sticking and splitting apart when the waffle iron was opened. To the people who posted those pictures I say, read the manual. Oil your waffle iron before you put the batter in. You can spray it with a product like Pam. Don't use too much batter, 1/3 - 1/2 cup. Set it at the middle of the heating range and see how that agrees with your batter. It really works nicely, signaling that the waffle is ready. I've had good ones and lousy ones, and this is the best so far.

Israel (Nestorian patriarch)
Israel was Patriarch of the Church of the East in 961.
Brief accounts of Israel's short patriarchate are given in the Ecclesiastical Chronicle of the Jacobite writer Bar Hebraeus (floruit 1280) and in the ecclesiastical histories of the Nestorian writers Mari (twelfth-century), ʿAmr (fourteenth-century) and Sliba (fourteenth-century).
Israel's patriarchate[edit]
The following account of Israel's patriarchate is given by Bar Hebraeus:
Before this same year, namely the year 350 of the Arabs [AD 961/2], Israel, the successor of Emmanuel, was ordained catholicus, who had earlier been bishop of Kashkar. For after the death of Emmanuel several people favoured Gabriel, the metropolitan of Fars, but the bishops did not accept him, saying, 'He is the brother of a man who recently embraced Islam and denied his faith. It would bring great shame on us if we appointed as our chief the brother of such a man.' And so everybody gave their consent to this Israel, and consecrated him catholicus at Seleucia. He was venerable and chaste, but a doddering old man, and he died one hundred and six days after his consecration, at the age of ninety.[1]

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Love love love love love love love. Enough said. Summary: The adventures of Christopher Robin and his friends, in which Pooh Bear uses a balloon to get honey, Piglet meets a Heffalump, and Eeyore has his birthday. Pooh and Christopher meet other friends during the adventures, such as Kanga and Roo, and Rabbit. Personal reaction: This was a childhood favorite for me, as I read Pooh's adventures atleast ten times. Christopher Robin is a relatable character with whom you can share your adventures with, and allows for the world of Pooh to seem as real as your imagination allows. An easy-to-read fantasy novel that subtly places hints of life-lessons, such as teamwork, friendship, and overcoming obstacles (no matter how silly they appear). Classroom extensions: I would love to have my classroom go on a search for the "Heffalump" (perhaps in the school yard), much like a treasure map quest. Only through teamwork and critical thinking could the Heffalump be found. I didn't much care for the sound effects (forest noises and music between the chapters) but the stories retained their charm. It has been so long since I read these original stories that I had forgotten them -- what I remember is the Disney animation. I liked this book, but I definitely liked other versions of it better. This one was more of a chapter book and was older. When there are pictures, I think this kind of book is better. Kids are used to seeing winnie the pooh so there would be more connections. This is one of my all time favorite books growing up. It is a great story about friendship. no reviews | add a review

Out of the package, the Dragonsaurous costume looks exactly as high quality as it does online. There is no need to iron it. The scales going down the tail and the teeth are a thick enough felt that they don't simply fall over like in lower quality costumes. The zipper works flawlessly. Everything is connected so you're not going to be searching the house frantically trying to find a part of the costume before trick-or-treating. I also love that this is a unisex costume. Boys and girls would both have fun roaring and stomping around is this costume, whether on Halloween or simply for playing dress-up.
Plus, it's super-cute!
I was especially impressed with the variety of colors and textures of the fabric. Despite being crammed into nearly too small packaging, none of the texture seemed affected in any way.
I was surprised to finally see a side view when I received this Dragonsaurous costume. It wasn't available on the website. Look - wings!
So that's why they call it a dragonsaurous instead of just a dinosaur!
Personally, I think the costume would be cuter without the little wings. They hadn't been shown online or mentioned in the product description, so they weren't what I had been expecting.
That said, what toddler costume isn't improved by the imaginary ability to fly? Wings crank the fun factor way up!

Crayons are a great way for children to express their creativity. An unfortunate side effect from crayon use is that you will accumulate many pieces of broken crayon that are simply too small to use.
So what can you do with these broken crayons? It may surprise you that you can create new crayons from old broken crayons with materials found around the house.
The Crayon recycling process
Materials needed
- Bucket
- Muffin Pan (mini muffin pans work great)
- Wax crayons
- Oven or microwave
Once you have the materials all sorted it is time to jump head first into the process of recycling crayons.
Peeling wrappers from crayons
Peeling crayon wrappers by hand will leave you with small difficult to remove pieces of crayon under your fingernails. Not fun. So here is where I let you in on my little secret to easily peel crayons.
While crayons are made from water repelling wax, the wrappers themselves are simply made from paper. Soaking the pieces of crayon in a bucket of water for 20 minutes will allow you to remove even the most stubborn of crayon wrappers without difficulty.
With the wrappers removed, leave the crayons to dry or use an old towel to remove excess water.
Arrange crayons pieces in muffin tin
The next task is to arrange your crayons into the muffin pan. Your new crayons will take on the shape of the muffin pan mold. You can make fun crayon shapes by using a themed muffin mold such as insects or flowers.
Organize your crayons into each section of the muffin pan according to color, keeping like colors together. This will result in your finished crayons being uniform in color .If your crayons will not comfortably into each cup, break them into smaller pieces using a knife. You want to make sure each muffin cup is at least half full, otherwise the finished crayon will be brittle and break easily.
If you have left over crayons that don't match up you can combine them in a single muffin circle to make a rainbow crayon.
Heating the Crayon wax
Heating the crayon in the oven
Preheat your oven to 300F before baking your crayon filled tray for 15 minutes or until the wax has completely melted
heating crayon wax in a microwave
Microwave on high for two minutes, stir each section with a toothpick before further microwaving until completely melted. Do not place metal pans in the microwave, this method is for silicon pans only.
Once your wax has melted, leave the pan to cool overnight.
Retrieving your recycled crayons
Once the crayon wax has cooled,flip the pan upside down and firmly pat each individual section. You should find the crayons simply slide right out of their mould leaving minimal residue. If you have stubborn crayons that are difficult to remove front he pan, place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes before tying again.After admiring your new crayons, grab a piece of paper and test each crayon. Good as new.
The beauty of this process is that once your recycled crayons get too small to use you can in turn melt them down into new crayons again. You can even use this technique on brand new rainbows, melting them down into fun shaped rainbow crayons for your children.
Here is a video that quickly covers the whole crayon recycling process.
Have you ever recoiled crayons? Let me know below if you found the experience worthwhile.

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:It's a well made enclosure: the sides are made with resistant and durable steel, the inner controller board have high quality. The cooling fan really helps preventing overheat on your hard drive. It's easy to open and connect the device, comes with extra screws for fixing the HD inside of the enclosure.
Cons:It works on both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, but when transferring huge amounts of data using USB 3.0 it disconnects from the PC after certain time of continuous work, when this happen you have to turn it off and on again. This never happens when using USB 2.0. Maybe the controller board gets overheated when using 3.0, since it's way more faster than 2.0.
OtherThoughts:Maybe they don't tested this product for transferring too much data at once on USB 3.0 connection.
Bottomline:It's a great product but unless mine was defective, it can not be considered USB 3.0 since it will only work for reading, writing files at small amounts at time (what usb 2.0 is already good for). The primordial vantage from USB 3.0 is the great speed to move lots of data fast and that's not possible here.

A state law that amends jurisdictional rights of law enforcement agencies for patrolling highways is set to go in effect next month and that makes Mark Hummer, the police chief in Lake Township, more than a little nervous – and frustrated. When the new law becomes effective, it will eliminate provisions in the Ohio Revised Code that prohibit township police officers from making traffic arrests on highways and state roadways that are classified as part of the national highway system – with the exception of interstate highways; they remain out of the jurisdiction of officers in smaller townships.
According to a study by AAA, young people are becoming so dangerously obsessed with social media that lives are being lost. So, Clay High School junior marketing students Sara Berg and Alyson Naugle are getting the message out that behaviors need to change.
If the day is fast approaching, the Benton-Carroll-Salem School District is preparing for it. For years, residents of Oak Harbor have assumed that Davis-Besse could be permanently shutdown.
Uncertainty over the future of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant and the economic impact from the plant being possibly idled or sold has led the Benton-Carroll-Salem school board to remove a bond issue from the May 2 ballot. Board members cited the possible devaluation, noting it would result in an increase in property taxes for homeowners and farmers if the bond issue had passed.
Residents of Benton Township welcomed Wednesday's court ruling that partially blocks the dumping of spent lime at a local quarry but they don't see a quick end to the legal dispute. Ottawa County Common Pleas Court Judge Bruce Winters has issued a preliminary injunction that prevents Rocky Ridge Development, LLC, from mixing spent lime from the City of Toledo's water treatment plant with soil and burying it in cells at the quarry where the property is zoned for A-3 agricultural use. But he also ruled the quarry operator is in compliance with the township zoning regulations on its property that is zoned for industrial M-3 use. |

watcher at the gates of the mind
Schiller wrote of a 'watcher at the gates of the mind', who examines ideas too closely. He said that in the case of the creative mind 'the intellect has withdrawn its watcher from the gates, and the ideas rush in pell-mell, and only then does it review and inspect the multitude.' He said that uncreative people 'are ashamed of the momentary passing madness which is found in all real creators... regarded in isolation, an idea may be quite insignificant, and venturesome in the extreme, but it may acquire importance from an idea that follows it; perhaps in collation with other ideas which seem equally absurd, it may be capable of furnishing a very serviceable link.' –Keith Johnstone, from Impro –artwork by Alex Grey

Waders are available in men, women and children's sizes from extra small to 2x with some sporting goods stores carrying larger sizes. Measurements need to be accurate to fit waders to the wearer so that they will last for several years. There are two main types of waders--neoprene and breathable--with variations in stocking foot bottoms or boots on the bottoms.
- Skill level:
- Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Soft measuring tape
- Paper
- Pen
Show More
- 1
Wear your fishing shirt that you will normally wear with the waders.
- 2
Hold a soft measuring tape so that the numbers point upwards to read yourself. Hold the end with number one in your left hand at the centre of the chest. Drop the other end of the measuring tape onto the floor and reach behind with the right hand to pull the measuring tape across the back, over your shoulder and to the middle of the chest.
- 3
Read the number off the measuring tape where the two ends meet. Write the measurement down on paper with a pen.
Girth/Chest Measurement
- 1
Stand on the floor without shoes. Place the end of the soft measuring tape at the top of one leg in the crotch seam of shorts or trousers.
- 2
Drop the other end of the measuring tape so that it falls to the floor. Flatten the measuring tape along the leg and record the measurement at the floor level. This measurement is easier to take with another person to hold the tape measure flat against the leg while the person being measured stands straight up.
- 3
Record shoe size on the paper also. This helps in the fitting when putting waders on over shoes or purchasing waders with rubber boots built in.
- 4
Order waders comparing the measurements from a sizing chart to the measurements written down for the specific type and brand of waders.
Inseam and Shoe Measurements
Tips and warnings
- It is important to measure for waders so that they are long lasting. Waders that are too short will pull up in the crotch when sitting or bending over and the crotch seam will stress.
- Waders that are too long will rub together in the knee and crotch area and lead to weak seems that will leak.
- Men's small waders are approximately for chest size 39 inches, inseams of 23 to 31 inches and a shoe size of 7 to 8. Men's XX-Large waders generally have measurements of a 55-inch chest, 31 to 34 inch inseam and a shoe size of 12 to 13. Check the size chart on the specific brand for exact measurements. Each brand and type of waders has its own sizing chart.
- Neoprene waders are made of the same fabric as diving suits. They hold in body temperature to keep the wearer warm.

Select Variation:
The Pest-Stop Little Nipper Mouse Traps from Pest-Stop.

Bait is placed on the treadle, which is raised when the trap is set, and the mouse has to cross the treadle to reach the bait. The slightest motion is enough to trigger the trap, delivering an astoundingly high catch-rate.
Quick and humane.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Maybe you missed your earnings target last year or your stock was crushed. But if you're a corporate executive, that might not necessarily prohibit you from earning a generous bonus.
Following an unprecedented period of economic turmoil, a number of corporate boards appear to have taken pity on executives last year. In some instances, they handed over millions of dollars in so-called discretionary bonuses to managers.
At United Technologies (UTX, Fortune 500), which manufactures everything from elevators to helicopters, its top six executives collected a combined $4.5 million in bonuses last year, even though the company failed to reach its goal of matching its 2008 profit performance.
Board members at the company defended the move however, maintaining that earnings at peers fell much further, while the company managed to achieve other important milestones, including not cutting its dividend.
"The Committee believes it achieved the appropriate balance in rewarding strong relative performance despite an absolute decline in earnings in 2009," the company wrote in its annual proxy statement.
Other companies deemed that top-performing execs were simply not compensated enough last year.
Starbucks (SBUX, Fortune 500) CEO Howard Schultz, for example, was awarded a $1 million bonus for helping to turn around the Seattle-based coffee retailer, bringing his total 2009 pay to $12.1 million. Board members originally ordered Schultz to forgo his salary and did not allow him to participate in the executive bonus program.
Typically, executive bonuses are judged based on a variety of factors, such as the company's stock performance, year-end earnings or other fundamentals.
But after the economy unraveled much faster than anyone ever anticipated, targets that once seemed attainable for many executives quickly moved out of reach. As a result, some boards looked elsewhere for indications that 2009 was indeed a good year.
"This was a year in which many [compensation] committees found themselves in that position because of the economy," said Rose Marie Orens, senior partner at the compensation advisory firm Compensation Advisory Partners.
At computer-maker Hewlett-Packard (HPQ, Fortune 500), for example, the best gauge was the company's performance against its peers. After deeming that CEO Mark Hurd was "not fully rewarded" by the $14.6 million bonus he received under the firm's annual incentive compensation program, the firm added a $1.2 million bonus for doing better than rivals like Dell.
Securing official numbers on discretionary bonuses is difficult as companies are just starting to disclose executive compensation in their annual proxies. But given the intense focus on and backlash against big pay on Wall Street, chances are that discretionary bonuses may be the exception rather than the rule.
The last thing a firm's compensation committee wants to do is defend why it granted a bonus to a seemingly underperforming executive, said Holly Gregory, a partner in the corporate governance practice at the law firm Weil Gotshal.
"There is a certain risk aversion on behalf of compensation committees," she said. "They know the spotlight is on them."
So far, shareholder activists, which have blasted board members in the past for lapses in judgment on compensation, have yet to make much fuss about discretionary bonuses.
But proxy advisory firm RiskMetrics recommended that shareholders withhold votes from five directors at medical imaging firm Hologic (HOLX), ahead of its annual shareholder meeting last week after the company gave its transitioning CEO multiple retention bonuses, despite a relatively poor stock performance.
Despite the attack, all five directors managed to receive majority support from shareholders, according to a subsequent company filing.
Paying bonuses during tough economic times could potentially become palatable, said Paul Hodgson, senior research associate at the corporate governance research firm The Corporate Library.
To do that though, he said boards would have to be just as willing to cut bonuses when executives miss lofty targets during a robust economic environment.
"That never happens," he said. "I'm prepared to accept the logic on that point if there was a flip side to it."

Also, the place is satisfying enough due to the terrain and proximity to town, that higher level skiers tend to choose to be there. I don't think that the weaker skiers get weeded out that much though, as there is enough intermediate terrain to accomodate that level of ability.
In areas without difficult terrain the challenge which create high levels of ability is from within, and great athletes have to possess this sort of drive regardless of their enviroment. However I really do believe that adaptation to challenges of the external environment can bring out abilities that otherwise might remain latent in those with less acheivement oriented outlooks.

Addressing Unmet Medical Need Through Changes in Medical Licensure Law The "medical mission" model alleviates some unmet medical need by bringing together volunteer dentists, doctors, optometrists and other providers. The state-by-state licensure system for health care providers is a substantial barrier to volunteerism and hampers the ability of medical mission organizers to recruit volunteers. Several states have created volunteer licensure mechanisms that ease the administrative burden of volunteering across state lines. Ohio's medically needy citizens, in both its rural and urban areas, would benefit from increased medical volunteers and medical mission style care. Introduction Objectives Unmet need for basic dental, optometric and medical care is a problem in Ohio, especially in the southeastern part of the state The "medical mission" model of care utilizes volunteer dentists, optometrists, doctors, etc. during temporary events to provide free care, mainly consisting of: Oral hygiene procedures – cleanings, fillings, extractions Vision testing, prescriptions and free eyeglasses Limited medical diagnoses, treatment and Rx drugs A substantial amount of care has been provided in the US through medical missions. As of Feb. 2012 one organization has had 660 missions 270,000 patient encounters Provided $52 million in charity care Legislation in several states creates a streamlined mechanism for out-of-state providers to volunteer to needy people. The volunteer must: Prove to the sponsoring organizations or licensing board that she is licensed in a US jurisdiction Not charge patients or 3 rd parties Not regularly practice Background Developed general consensus among stakeholders The medical mission model could provide small but clear value to medically underserved people in Ohio Medical volunteerism is no substitute for more comprehensive reform Discovered sources of concern among stakeholders Volunteers must be screened in some way to protect public Medical missions must be planned and operated with community support and involvement Patients must be referred to permanent sources of care Medical missions may be more appropriate in rural areas than urban ones Advocated for passage of a volunteer licensure mechanism Built a coalition of advocates including some in public health, medical / dental / nursing / optometric professions Presented the issue to Ohio legislature, licensing boards, professional societies Advocacy will continue in new legislative session after elections Drafted the "Ohio Volunteer Health Care Provider Licensure Act" bill, which provides for: Volunteer license mechanism for out-of-state providers Requirement for medical mission to coordinate with local health dept., screen potential volunteers for discipline Medical mission must refer patients to safety-net care in the area where the mission is held Application of existing liability protections to volunteer licensees Results Conclusions Patience and persistence are key in advocacy Informing stakeholders of the issue, gathering their input, and seeking consensus are very- time consuming The legislative process is very slow Be prepared for opposition Expected opposition from professional societies and licensing boards has not yet materialized – in fact, some support Opposition may arise from allies - concern about the model of care and limited resources for charities Volunteers, space medical equipment Media attention, funding sources Political action, attention from policy community Legislators will not move until they know where stakeholders stand Be prepared to negotiate details of the proposal, keeping in mind broad goals References Health Policy Institute of Ohio and Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services.

While Confederate Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler was absent raiding Union supply lines from North Georgia to East Tennessee, Maj. Gen. William Sherman, unconcerned, sent Judson Kilpatrick to raid Rebel supply lines. Leaving on August 18, Kilpatrick hit the Atlanta & West Point Railroad that evening, tearing up a small area of tracks. Next, Kilpatrick headed for Lovejoy´s Station on the Macon & Western Railroad. In transit, on the 19th, Kilpatrick´s men hit the Jonesborough supply depot on the Macon & Western Railroad, burning great amounts of supplies. On the 20th, they reached Lovejoy´s Station and began their destruction. Rebel infantry (Cleburne´s Division) appeared and the raiders were forced to fight into the night, finally fleeing to prevent encirclement. Although Kilpatrick had destroyed supplies and track at Lovejoy´s Station, the railroad line was back in operation in two days.

SAS 2020Our vision for the future The SAS 2020 planning effort was completed and approved by the Governing Board at SciX in 2016. Please review the attached content for more information. Please contact the SAS Office to get involved or help out with ideas that will help SAS achieve its 2020 objectives! Hi all, We're starting off the SAS 2020 initiative with a meeting at Pittcon, Sunday March 8th from 9am to 4pm in Room 341. We will be discussing our vision for the future of the society. All SAS members are welcome so please spread the word! If you are unable to attend the meeting, we welcome input via email email@example.com
We look forward to hearing from you!
Diane Parry, Ph.D.
Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS) President, 2015
Here are a few questions to stimulate discussion:
1) How big should SAS become?
2) What should the scientific scope of SAS include? (There have been a few new developments since SAS was formed in 1954!)
3) Where should SAS be? (We have a UK Section, and quite a few very active, non-US members today).
4) SAS is the Society for Applied Spectroscopy. What should we seek to accomplish? Are the original objectives right for 2020, too?
Some notes from our kickoff meeting!
1) How big should SAS become?
Today's membership, at around 2000 world-wide members, feels like a true family. Our goal is to maintain the Society as a close-knit home for those who practice Spectroscopy #mySASfamily
2) What should the scientific scope of SAS include? (There have been a few new developments since SAS was formed in 1954!)
The Society for Applied Spectroscopy welcomes everyone who is a Spectroscopy, or would like to know more about Spectroscopy. A Spectroscopist is anyone who seeks to understand or control the properties of matter at the atomic or molecular level by means of its interaction with, or emission of, light of different wavelenths. 3)Where Should SAS encourage membership? SAS embraces global membership and collaboration. We want all members, no matter where they live, to enjoy as many of the SAS member benefits as possible.
4)SAS is the Society for Applied Spectroscopy. What should we seek to accomplish? Are the original objectives right for 2020, too? Our current mission statement: The Society for Applied Spectroscopy is a nonprofit organization formed to advance and disseminate knowledge and information concerning the art and science of spectroscopy, and other allied sciences, to advance the professional standing and growth of the Society and its members, to coordinate cooperative endeavors of its individual members and sections, and to promote and maintain a close bond among its members.

Calvin's damage updated for inflation
One of the most common criticisms of our Calvin and Hobbes paper is that we didn't adjust for inflation (e.g., see here). In other words, all the damage occurred between 1986 and 1996, yet we estimated damage using prices of objects and service in 2014. To see how much damage Calvin would have caused at the time he was causing the damage, we'd have to adjust for inflation.
Now, we have a tenuous grasp on the concept of inflation (how can the value of a dollar increase over time? It's still just one dollar, right? Are my quarters dated 1986 now worth $0.54 each?), so we had help in calculating our inflation-adjusted cost estimates. Below is a link to an MS Excel spreadsheet that contains our orignial data, as well as an adjustment for inflation provided by Kerbal Experts. They used this website to get the values. All damages were adjusted, except for the values in which an estimate was given in the comic.
We also updated our Figure:
Another common criticism is that we didn't include the Noodle Incident. We've ignored those people, because they clearly haven't read the entire paper.

Coach Butch Jones issued the invitation via twitter a couple of weeks ago. The gates will open at 6 pm, with practice starting at 7 pm. There is no admission fee and parking is free.
"We need to create a game-like atmosphere for our football team, and we are going to try and put them in some pressure situations, some live game repetitions and see how they perform in front of our great fan base," said Jones.

Walking the Red Carpet!
So I've been seeing the fun "end of year awards ceremony" pictures going around Pinterest, so I decided to go ahead and give it a try! My first graders absolutely LOVED walking the red carpet as an end to our year! I really wish I was able to show you their excited faces! They cheered up a storm for each other and were so proud to receive the awards. I'll be doing this next year for sure!

Prando's Asset Management - Autumnal statement
The chairman sees a changing of the season
"What do you mean you have nothing to say on the Autumn Statement?" I asked the chairman of the improbably-sized investment company Prandeamus Asset Management when I dropped by to see him this week.
"You didn't have anything to say last week about the FCA's Asset Management Market Study either. This relationship really isn't going to work if it's all one-way traffic."
"Steady on, old boy," said the chairman. "I get enough of that sort of talk at home. Anyway, the two situations are completely different. Last week, I had nothing to say on the FCA study because - in common with most of my peers - I didn't want to say anything about it. This week, I have nothing to say about the Autumn Statement because, well, there isn't much to say.
"Despite the hundreds of press releases it generated, I know what you mean," I nodded. "When the biggest outcry's about a pensions detail most financial journalists had no notion existed before Wednesday, you know it's not been a classic Autumn Statement." "I wouldn't go that far," said the chairman. "Even if such a thing exists, I thought young Hammond handled himself and his material pretty well.
"Certainly from our point of view - and I got the impression most members of Her Majesty's financial services industry felt similarly - we were hoping for a real anti-Osborne of a statement. You know - no meddling just because you can. Move on, nothing to see here. An opportunity for everyone to take stock. That's why people were so disappointed with that consultation on the MAPA or MPPA or whatever."
"MPAA," I replied. "But they're all just bad hands at scrabble. So, if you really have no earth-shattering thoughts on the Budget, are you sure I can't tempt you to venture an opinion on the FCA's Market Study?" "Not a chance," said the chairman. "What if I told you the Millers finally weighed in with their opinions a few days back?" I said slyly.
"Really?" said the chairman, taking the bait. "I'd have though Mrs Miller would have other things on her plate at the moment." "I just assumed that was why there was no comment forthcoming from the pair on the day the report was published," I said. "But their press release neatly dealt with that by starting off: 'Having carefully reviewed the FCA's Asset Management Market Study ...'"
"What a clever way of being late to the party while still signalling virtue," said the chairman, looking genuinely impressed. "Top one-upmanship." "Well, I hope you feel similarly positive after the next bit," I said. "Mrs M continued: 'Credit where credit's due. This FCA paper is a comprehensive and well-founded analysis exposing the various dishonesties that have been plaguing the UK investment and pension industry for decades.'
"Then, as a rousing finale, we had: 'This FCA report is a game-changer and marks a cultural revolution, for both the regulator and the sector, that will effectively restore the UK to the gold standard of consumer savings and investment products and protection, internationally.'" "Stirring stuff indeed," said the chairman flatly. "Though, now I think about it, 'cultural revolution' feels a bit, well, Maoist.
"And what particular gold standard of a glorious past are they imagining this report will effectively restore the UK to? I'm sure the asset management sector's been charging the way it has for as long as I've been around, which is a lot longer than I care to think about. Still, much as I hate to admit it - on a number of levels - I fear they may be onto something with the idea of the review being a game-changer.
"Certainly, the whole affair is beginning to smell an awful lot like the asset management equivalent of the Retail Distribution Review." "And you'd say that was a bad thing?" I asked. "No, no," said the chairman quietly. "Like this issue with our charges, it was always going to happen one day - but that does not automatically make it a universally good thing either. Still, I suppose things could be worse."
"That's the spirit," I said. "And on that very point, which are you betting will come first - Fed-inspired bond crash or post-Italian referendum eurozone crisis?"

Handy location to beach and to Gisborne City. Good coffee and great fish n chips from the local dairy only 3 minutes walk away. Comfy bed although a slightly larger one would have been appreciated when the weather was so hot at night. Good shower. Great to have Sky TV during a period of constant repeats on free to air tv. And good to have the heat pump.

We received a sales call today from what was supposed to be Marriott Resorts trying to get us to buy a package with all sorts of free gifts. We were actually interested because one offered more thsn one room and we wanted to check with family to see if they were interested. When I stated we could not make a decision immediately on the phone without talking with family we were politely hung up on.
This his type of high pressure sales to supposedly high value customers (lifetime platinum and generally over 100 nights a year) that travel to Marriott Resorts (just returned from Desert Ridge in Phoenix) does not reflect well on Marriott.
I would expect some very interested customers would need a day to make a decision. This type of sales tactic for Marriott Resorts and I assume the Vacation Club makes feel less valued as a very loyal Marriott Customer.
Do any other Rewards members have similar experiences?
Hi sarah, thanks for bringing this up. Would you mind sending me a private message with the phone number that called you? I'd like to confirm where this call came from and whether it was from a Marriott number or not. Thanks!
I had a very unpleasant high pressure sales pitch levied at me in 2013 in Orlando. Surprised me since I had never been treated that way with MVC before that. I am a long time owner at MVC and a silver elite customer and was so irritated when I left that pitch that I emailed a letter to Bill Marriott about it. I vowed to never attend another sales pitch and it is very unusual for us to spend any money at any Marriott anymore when we stay there using weeks or reward points. I let everyone know to not attend any of their pitches and to not buy at MVC.

The Plan
Having failed on my South Sister climb, and not having very many peaks for the year I decided to do a multi-peak climb. I decided to climb Iron Mountain, Cone Peak, South Peak, Echo Mountain, and North Peak. The weather has been mild and most of the snow is above 5,000 feet. I had actually assumed there would not be a lot of snow on any of these peaks, except north slopes. I planned to summit all of these within one day and move fast. My pack loaded up weighed in at twenty-three pounds. I decided to pack snowshoes just in case snow was deeper than expected. The plan was to park at the Iron Mountain trailhead, summit Iron Mountian, then come back down to the trial and on around to Cone Peak. Beyond that would be the other three peaks, and then I would have to re-summit Echo Mountain and South Peak. With my route mapped out, gear loaded, I would set out early in the morning.Arrival
February 17, 2010, I arrived at the turn-off for Iron Mountain off highway 20 near Tombstone Pass. The roads and terrain was free of snow. I felt good about the days climb. The road up to Iron Mountain from here is about 3 miles. When I got about a mile and a half up the road I encountered several inches of snow. As I progressed further up the snow became deep. My 4x4 was struggling to tear through the snow. About a mile from the trailhead I had to stop as the snow became one to two feet deep. I parked here and strapped on my snowshoes before heading up the road. This would add two additional miles round trip. I was now not feeling good about my chances. When I finally reached the trialhead, the parking area had two feet of snow on it. As I headed up the trail I found most of it to be free of snow.Ascent of Iron Mountain
I reached the trail that headed up Iron Mountain. I began heading up Iron Mountain with snowshoes still on. I found the trail to be free of snow in one spot and then heavy hard packed snow in other spots. The higher up I climbed the more snow I encountered. The route up is made up of a trail that switches back and forth across it's south face. With all of the snow on the slope this trial just became an icy steep slope. I was wearing Denali Evo Ascent snowshoes which actually climb very well. I would normally want crampons on steep slopes, but I did not bring them. I was not expecting quite as much ice and snow and wanted to move fast and light. I felt I still could handle this terrain with my snowshoes. These snowshoes are great for traversing steep terrain. When I got within one-hundred feet of the summit, the snow became very steep and took a bit of effort to climb up. The view from the summit was good. I could now see all of the peaks I had to summit and the route I needed to take. I could also several of the Cascade Volcanoes. I was now surprised to see that the entire route from here was going to be on snow. Having already added on an extra mile I was looking at how I could shave off some time. To get to the next peak I would have to go back down Iron Mountain the way I came and then snowshoe all the way around it to Cone Peak. I weighed my options and then decided I would just descend the east face. This is a very steep, treacherous slope. There was plenty of evidence of snow wheels, fallen cornices , and wet slides. I began my descent, picking my path carefully. There was plenty of fall exposure here and crampons would have been nice. After picking my way around the cliffs, and steep snow I finally reached the more heavily treed ridge below.Ascent of Cone Peak
Between Cone Peak and Iron Mountain is a ridge with a trail that follows along the south side of it. I initially did not see the trial since it was buried in several feet of snow. I ended up traversing the ridge. I soon saw the trail and dropped down onto it. The trail was actually free of snow as it wondered through the trees. I opted to leave my snowshoes on anyways. I finally reached an area where the trail heads towards the south away from Cone Peak. I started back up the steep ridge into a heavy thicket of trees, This was a pain with snowshoes on. Once above the trees I could see straight up the west face of Cone Peak. Most of the ridge up was free of snow and I decided to take the snowshoes off. I began hiking up the steep hillside, having to post hole in places. The slope consisted of hard snow, deep loose snow, scree, and small plants. I was able to make fairly short work out of the ascent and reached the summit. The summit had deep, hardened drifts on top. I took a short break, scoped out the route to South Peak, and began to descend Cone Peak's southeast face. I was able to do this in hiking boots.Ascent of South Peak
As I reached the saddle between Cone Peak and South Peak I encountered deep snow again. I put my snowshoes on and continued. The slope up South Peak was steep, and consisted of deep, hardened snow. Near the summit the terrain became very steep with a good fall hazard on the north side. I was able to use my snowshoes as crampons and stick very well up the steep section to the summit. Once at the summit I scoped out the route to Echo Peak. The east side of South Peak's summit was all corniced. I could see where many of them had broken off and fallen down. I picked a route along the top edge of the steep east face and descended down into the saddle between South Peak and Echo. The saddle was forested and had plenty of snow. The temperatures were becoming warm and the sunny areas were becoming soft.Ascent of Echo Mountain
The slope up Echo Mountain was mostly steep hardened snow, with some soft areas. I was beginning to get a little tired at this point. It was a pretty good effort to get up the slope. Along the entire route I was seeing a lot of cougar tracks. This made me a little uneasy. I was carrying a small pistol and a knife on this trip. I arrived at the summit and took in the views. I could see a large number of peaks from here. Several feet of snow was piled up on the summit of Echo. Again, there were large broken off cornices along the east side. I took another small break and scoped out my final traverse to North Peak. I was very surprised to find a very steep and exposed ridge between the two peaks. There appeared to be a large fall hazard on both sides of it. Now I was wishing I had my crampons and ice axe. This would likely be the most difficult terrain that I will have crossed in snowshoes.Ascent of North Peak
I carefully picked a path along the top of the steep slope to the start of the narrow ridge. The fall potential here would be a couple hundred feet down into the trees below. There was plenty of evidence of loose ice and snow wheels that had tumbled down in recent days. As I worked my way along the top of the narrow ridge, I kept kicking off snowballs and chunks of ice that would tumble all the way to the bottom on either side. The snow was hard frozen and for the most part I was able keep a good purchase to it. I was really wishing at this point I had crampons and ice axe. I slip here in snowshoes would have been nasty. I continued to work my way along the ridge, having to traverse around some large rock outcroppings. This would put me into situations with not much room for error, or any real way of arresting my fall if should slip. I finally get past the big rock outcropping at about the halfway point to North Peak. On the other side of this the ridge becomes packed with small fir trees. This leaves a small rocky, icy ledge overhanging a couple hundred foot steep slope. I carefully worked my way along here hanging onto trees on my left side and balancing my trekking poles on my right. This was tough with snowshoes on. Eventually I reached the slope up North Peak and worked my way through the now soft snow. I arrive at the summit, a little exhausted. I take a break and plan my route back. It took four hours to get to this point, and was about five miles from where I parked.The Return Trek
So I decided I would re-summit Echo Mountain and South Peak. Then I would traverse around the south side of Cone Peak and then around the North and west side of Iron Mountain. I worked my way down North Peak and back onto the dangerous ridge traverse. I was able to stay more onto the north side of the ridge and avoid the tight ledge along the small trees. However, once at the rock outcropping I had to get right back on top of the ridge. The snow was now becoming softer and slicker. This was challenging and a bit dangerous to traverse in snowshoes. The fall hazard would be big with many rocks sticking out of the slope below. I eventually make it back up Echo Mountain, and the up and over South Peak. The entire route now was becoming softer as the temperatures got into the low forties. I could feel the reflecting snow baking me. When I got to Cone Peak I worked my way across it's lower south slope. It might have been easier to have just went back over the summit. The lower slope consisted of numerous ravines with water flowing through them and pockets of thick trees. This was a lot of work to traverse and was wearing me down. Again, numerous cougar tracks everywhere. I was a little worried about getting caught down in one of these ravines too long with the possibility of a cougar spotting me and thinking I was lunch. I arrive back at the north face of Iron Mountain. The snow here is deep. I work my way into the woods on the north side and find where the trail is. The trail works its way around to the west sde and eventually to the south side parking area. The entire trail was covered in hard packed frozen snow and wonders through the forest. I soon come back out at the parking area and continue to snowshoe the mile back down the road to my car, finally my seven summit climb is over.Details
