In the realm of information security, availability can often be viewed as one of the most important parts of a successful information security program. Ultimately end-users need to be able to perform job functions; by ensuring availability an organization is able to perform to the standards that an organizations stake-holders expect. This can involve topics such as proxy configurations, outside web access, ability to access shared drives and the ability to send emails. Executives oftentimes do not understand the technical side of information security and look at availability as an easy fix, but this often requires collaboration from many different organizational teams, such as network operations, development operations, incident response and policy/change management. A successful information security team involves many different key roles to mesh and align for the CIA triad to be provided effectively.

It is important to note that while technology such as cryptographic systems can assist in non-repudiation efforts, the concept is at its core a legal concept transcending the realm of technology. It is not, for instance, sufficient to show that the message matches a digital signature signed with the sender's private key, and thus only the sender could have sent the message, and nobody else could have altered it in transit ( data integrity ). The alleged sender could in return demonstrate that the digital signature algorithm is vulnerable or flawed, or allege or prove that his signing key has been compromised. The fault for these violations may or may not lie with the sender, and such assertions may or may not relieve the sender of liability, but the assertion would invalidate the claim that the signature necessarily proves authenticity and integrity. As such, the sender may repudiate the message (because authenticity and integrity are pre-requisites for non-repudiation).
A condition can be both necessary and sufficient. For example, at present, "today is the

" is a necessary and sufficient condition for "today is Independence Day in the cheap sale pictures wide range of for sale JACI Wide Fit Plaited Espadrille Sandals from china cheap online discount find great outlet reliable XgaNCx
". Similarly, a necessary and sufficient condition for invertibility of a matrix M is that M has a nonzero determinant .
Mathematically speaking, necessity and sufficiency are to one another. For any statements
, the assertion that "
is necessary for
" is equivalent to the assertion that "
is sufficient for
". Another facet of this duality is that, as illustrated above, conjunctions (using "and") of necessary conditions may achieve sufficiency, while disjunctions (using "or") of sufficient conditions may achieve necessity. For a third facet, identify every mathematical

N with the set T ( N ) of objects, events, or statements for which N holds true; then asserting the necessity of N for S is equivalent to claiming that T ( N ) is a superset of T ( S ), while asserting the sufficiency of S for N is equivalent to claiming that T ( S ) is a subset of T ( N ).
To say that P is necessary and sufficient for Q is to say two things:
One may summarize any, and thus all, of these cases by the statement " P if and only if Q ", which is denoted by , whereas cases tell us that is identical to .
We next investigated the effect of using POPC based liposomes on the rRNA synthesis, ribosome assembly, and sfGFP synthesis iSAT reaction, with and without the feeding solution. In contrast to DOPC liposomes, fluorescence microscopy observations showed that POPC based liposomes allowed protein synthesis without the feeding solution ( Figure 2D ). This may be due to permeability differences across the different membranes since POPC contains one saturated fatty acid tail compared to two in DOPC. It has been shown, for example, that permeability is different between the two compositions with POPC being less permeable than DOPC membrane 21 , 22 . Somewhat surprisingly, we observed a significant delay in protein expression (a lag time ~ 7 hours) when combining iSAT in POPC liposomes with a feeding solution ( Figures 2E and 2F ). One possible model that may explain the delayed sfGFP produced in the presence of the feeding solution is that there is some inhibitory molecule(s) that can pass through both the DOPC and POPC lipid layers at different rates. The reduced permeability of the POPC membrane extends the delayed time compared to DOPC membrane. Looking forward, we plan to carry out a separate comprehensive study to fully understand this phenomenon now that we are able to build ribosomes in liposomes for the first time, which was the goal of our study. Indeed, our data convincingly showed that the cell-free expression platform for making bacterial ribosomes encapsulated within giant liposomes was capable of synthesizing sfGFP. Additional images are shown in Supplementary Figure S4 .
In summary, we report the development of experimental conditions necessary to encapsulate iSAT reactions into liposomes. We also measured the kinetics of compartmentalized gene expression when

(Unfortunately the beating wasn't the worst thing to come out of UFC 95 for Mandaloniz. Photo courtesy of MMA Weekly.)
According to BJPenn.com, Troy "Rude Boy" Mandaloniz has been cut from the UFC following the decision loss to Paul Kelly that left the Hawaiian's face looking like an impressionist painting that had been left out in the rain. While we're not terribly surprised to see a guy who is 3-2 in his career and 1-1 in the UFC (with the lone win coming against Richie Hightower) cut from the big leagues, he seems fairly shocked.
"I thought I showed them what I was made of, but I guess not. I don' think I see too many other fighters out there fighting with the same passion and intensity that I bring. I'm a fighter that people want to see fight and maybe one day after I prove myself again I could be back in the UFC."
Rude Boy apparently learned he had been cut via email (sure it wasn't a text message to someone else in the camp?), which seems kind of cold. They couldn't even pick up the phone and call him?
Maybe dropping fighters from the UFC is like breaking up. If they've only fought twice for you, an email is fine. If they've been around a little longer, you gotta call. And if it's an ex-champion who's put in years of service, you take them out to a mediocre Mexican restaurant and break the news over appetizers, then let them have just one more go-round in the bathroom for old times' sake.
Of course, if they've only had one fight? Like poor Josh Hendricks? Then you can inform them via a post on their Facebook page. Right before changing your status to "Accepting heavyweight applications."

As MTV's newly minted "Artist to Watch," Austin Mahone has us all waiting with bated breath for his yet-to-be-released debut album on Chase/Republic Records. In the meantime, however, the groovy hipster has dropped the official music video for his latest "Banga! Banga!" single.
Sampling the likes of Eminem and a dash of Justin Bieber, Mahone is poised to blaze a trail to Hot 100 royalty. In the song's clip, the 17-year-old takes to the streets with his, um, Mahomies to display his charmingly electric dance moves. As he drops heavy beats and a deliciously catchy hook, he attempts to woo his new love interest, who is as trendy, hip and youthful as he is. "Your style is so crazy. You're a fire on the set," he warbles on the first verse, laying it on thick. "You're a problem, girl, gotta get you. Ain't no waitin' with it. The one you came here with -- tell that boy forget it..."
As far as his highly anticipated debut album, he recently told Billboard that he is still tinkering around with some of the songs. "I'm doing a lot of travel right now, so it's kind of hard to find time to record songs," he said. "But anytime that I can, I like to, because I'm just trying to finish my album and get it done."
"I worked with RedOne," he added of his impressive list collaborators on the project. "I thought [the album] was going to be all RedOne stuff, but I worked with Max Martin and Sean Garrett, and I think the album is gonna have a lot of different types of songs on there, but I think it's going to come together real nice and I'm excited to put it out."
Take a gander at the music video:

First let me say thank you ladies for the good support here... I have found this site and info so helpful!
Anyway, my son is a rough nurser: pinches, yanks on nipple while nursing, straightens his arms so pull back (while latched!), kicks... all during nursing. Usually it's before the letdown but now he has started doing in throughout all nursing sessions. It is less at night when I believe he is not totally awake.
I have tried a nursing necklace and other objects but he just gets distracted with it and won't even latch because he wants to play. The pulling has started a bad habit of a shallow latch on one side and when I try and relatch, at times he cries so much, he won't try to nurse any more during that session.
I want him to nurse as much as possible as he is 8 months and doesn't eat much in the way of solids at all. I know these are bad habits but how do I put a stop to them (or lessen them) without having him stop nursing?

VATICAN CITY — What a difference a year makes.
When the Vatican sponsored a meeting in April 2012 to review what went right and wrong in Madrid at World Youth Day 2011, the purpose was to ensure a smoother experience for the young people who were to have joined Pope Benedict XVI in Rio de Janeiro.
Rio's gearing up. Young pilgrims from around the world are on the move. But it's Pope Francis who is preparing to fly down to Brazil to join them.
The popes have changed. The Rio site for the vigil and closing Mass are much bigger than the space in Madrid was. (So many unregistered young people were allowed into the area in Madrid, that thousands of those who were registered were shut out.) Some 7,000 young pilgrims from the United States have registered to attend WYD Rio.
Even though we did this video last year, it shows the kind of planning that went into the Rio event. And the reference to encountering the reality of poverty in the developing world is something to keep in mind when Pope Francis arrives next week. He's likely to challenge the young people — and the rest of us — to look at how our lifestyles and political choices impact the poor, but also to look at what we can learn from them.

The Interview
Does your personality match your Zodiac sign?
Yes, I think so. I am observant, caring, independent and ambitious. When I want something, I am determined to get it.
What were you like growing up?
I grew up with four brothers so I was a tomboy growing up. I played football and video games in a dress. I was girly, but loved to play in the mud.
How long have you been modeling?
I have been modeling for 8 years.
What would you say are your strengths as a model?
My eyes and smile. =D
Do you have any birthmarks, scars or tattoos?
I don't have any tattoos. I have my belly button pierced.
Describe yourself in 3 words or statements.
Outgoing, humble, and diligent.
What is your best beauty secret?
Take vitamins, eat healthy, take care of my mind and body.
What do you look for in a guy?
I look for a guy that is caring and humble. He would have to get my attention by not trying too hard and be a little mysterious. I can't stand it when guys become too clingy.
What gets you in the mood?
Soft passionate kisses. ;)
How do you feel about pick-up lines? What was the best line that was used on you?
I think pick up lines are funny. "Crap, something is wrong with my phone, [me: Oh really, what's wrong?] It's just your numbers not in it." Yes, it actually did work. He's now my boyfriend.
What's the weirdest thing that has ever happened to you on a date?
The weirdest thing that has ever happened to me on a date is this guy kept talking about himself, and about how he wanted to take care of me. I thought it was weird because it was our first date. He probably thought I was gold digger, but he was wrong. After that date, I never talked to him again.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how wild are you in the bedroom?
I don't kiss and tell. ;)
What do you wear to bed?
Boy shorts and a tank top.
What item of clothing or accessory makes you feel the sexiest?

Do you have many traffic violations? Any stories you'd like to share with us?
I have not had any recent tickets (*knock on wood*). The last time I got a ticket was 5 years ago because I didn't make a complete stop at a stop sign.
With any 'spotlight' type of job, you are looked upon as a role model. What advice would you give out to aspiring models?
Be confident in yourself. Always keep an open mind, and an open path for life.
Words to live by?
YOLO (You Only Live Once).
Any shout-outs or last words?
I want to thank my family, boyfriend, friends, and fans for supporting me throughout my whole modeling career. Without you guys, I don't know how I would of made it this far. I love you guys!

I'm sure by now that you are all aware that multitouch has come to a U.S. Android device at long last. This was fast becoming an issue akin to the iPhone not having copy and paste or MMS for the first couple years of its existence. Every interview you saw with a member of the Android team would feature at least a brief grill session on why multitouch (or "specific multitouch implementations" as Erick Tseng put it to Engadget) were missing on U.S. Android devices.
Now that we have multitouch the why probably seems less important, but I think the answer has been made crystal clear.
Yesterday was six months to the day since Eric Schmidt resigned from Apple's board. Yes, we received the official news on the morning of August 3rd, but chances are that all the real activity went down a day earlier. Obviously there were stipulations to that exit that just finally ran out yesterday blessing the Nexus One with its new found abilities. So it was Apple's fault that we have all been suffering without multitouch for these many months.
As I said, the why seems significantly less important now that multitouch is in our grubby little hands, but it is comforting to me to know it wasn't some obscure patent related paranoia on the part of Google which could have left us out in the unitouch cold forever. The important thing is that now that the seal has been broken on U.S. Android multitouch, presumably we will see it flow freely to those handsets stateside that are capable of it (I'm looking at you Droid) and possibly most importantly everyone can stop asking when multitouch is coming.
So sit back, relax, and pinch and zoom to your heart's content.

Philippines Trip is no Vacation
A Columbia International University alumnus is ministering in the aftermath of one of the worst weather-related disasters in modern times. Brooks Wadsworth, a 2002 graduate of CIU's Intercultural Studies program, is a part of the North Carolina Baptist Disaster Relief team in the Philippines assisting in one of the areas hardest hit by Typhoon Haiyan on Nov. 8.
Wadsworth, the pastor of Roberson (N.C.) First Baptist Church, is assisting with relief efforts, emergency medical situations, and the delivery of water and food. He credits his interest in serving others to the Bible, his mother, and "the heart and passion of his alma mater, Columbia International University."

Most presidents are clearly energized from delivering their State of the Union addresses. The grandiose setting of a packed House chamber, the pomp and pageantry, the certain waves of applause from your own party and sometimes from the other side, too, are a good adrenaline rush. It's a hard act to follow.
Just ask the lucky — or unlucky — politician chosen to deliver the subsequent nationally broadcast opposition-party response.
This year the dubious honor belongs to Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a rising GOP star believed able to connect well with Hispanics and young people —two voting blocs that went heavily for Obama in 2012 and that Republicans now covet.
Tuesday night's GOP response constitutes an opportunity for the 41-year old Cuban-American lawmaker to show that he can handle the national spotlight and stand up to the president oratorically. He will speak in both Spanish and English.
The pressure is particularly high this year. The speech could propel Rubio into becoming the leading contender for the 2016 Republican nomination.
But the spot has potential pitfalls, too, with high chances for a stumble.
It's hard to sound presidential when you have none of the trappings of the office. And the contrast immediately is apparent to millions of TV viewers.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, most recently known for urging the GOP to "stop being the stupid party," fell flat with his soft-spoken, platitude-filled GOP response to Obama's first address to Congress in February 2009. It was widely panned.
The problem, Jindal later reflected, is that Obama "is a great speaker, probably the greatest we've seen in a generation. I'm not nearly as good of a speaker. I'm not the only one that's got that opinion."
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell delivered the Republican response in 2010, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan in 2011 and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels in 2012. None of those speeches are likely to be long-remembered.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., will deliver a separate tea party response on Tuesday.

Financial markets around the world are celebrating the climactic New Year's agreement to avert scheduled tax increases and budget cuts in the United States. But the party could be a short one.
While Congress' action ended a stubborn stalemate and prevented the nation from going over a "fiscal cliff" and possibly tumbling back into recession, the terms of the bipartisan pact helped erect an even larger fiscal precipice.
The deal, which President Barack Obama plans to sign quickly, blocked big income tax increases on most Americans. But it extended the deadline for deep mandatory spending cuts for only two months. And it did nothing to deal with raising the nation's borrowing limit, despite Obama's request.
The debt limit, set by Congress, is now $14.3 trillion — a ceiling the government officially hit on Monday.
The Treasury Department says it will take "extraordinary measures" to keep paying the government's bills — but only until sometime in February or March.
After a summer 2011 fight over raising the debt limit, the government came close to defaulting for the first time ever and credit rating agency Standard & Poor's yanked the nation's blue-chip AAA bond rating.
Before returning to Hawaii for vacation, Obama dug in his heels and warned Republicans against using a vote on the debt ceiling to try to win concessions on spending cuts. He asserted he wouldn't negotiate "with Congress over whether or not they should pay the bills they've already racked up through the laws they have passed."
He didn't elaborate, but some Democrats want him to challenge the debt-limit process itself, a move certain to outrage Republicans.
In any event, it means Obama can count on further rancorous fiscal battles between the parties soon after he's inaugurated for a second term.
So much for "And a Happy New Year."

The Delaware Attorney General's Office has secured an indictment charging Antione Anderson with the Oct. 2, 2011 murder of Ernie Cole in Wilmington.
A man currently incarcerated in Philadelphia has been indicted on charges including first-degree murder by the Delaware Department of Justice.
Antione Anderson, 27, who is currently serving time in Pennsylvania for violating his probation, has been indicted in the murder of Ernie Cole, 39, of Wilmington, the Attorney General's Office announced today.
Anderson has been charged in the Oct 2., 2011 murder of Cole, which occurred in the area of 17th and Thatcher Streets in Wilmington.
That night, police said that Anderson was involved with an altercation with two individuals at a residence before shooting Cole as he stood on the sidewalk.
Anderson has also been charged with firing another shot that entered a nearby residence where a woman and her child were sleeping and for assaulting another pedestrian, said spokesman Jason Miller.

ESPN's "Outside the Lines" reviewed health department inspection reports for food and beverage outlets at all 107 North American arenas and stadiums that were home to Major League Baseball, National Football League, National Hockey League and National Basketball Association teams in 2009. At 30 of the venues (28 percent), more than half of the concession stands or restaurants had been cited for at least one "critical" or "major" health violation. Such violations pose a risk for foodborne illnesses that can make someone sick, or, in extreme cases, become fatal.ScoreboardGourmet surely sees the theoretical value in inspections but the public needs to understand there are many different categories of violation, some not particularly severe. The public also needs to understand that home kitchens are generally way more ripe for problems than restaurant kitchens. Really. That said, this article nicely points out inconsistencies in inspections reporting (inspecting Chicago ballparks on non-game days). And, let's also remember the grossness of all food that been in someone else's hands. Oh yes I'm talking about you, local supermarket deli guy who never changes his gloves.

A man and a woman move around a dance floor in an embrace so tight their upper bodies are one, their eyes closed, their legs moving in impromptu steps, but so coordinated that it seems she is reading his mind.
The two are not lovers. Then again, maybe they are.
"We may never see each other again or talk to each other, but for 10 minutes, we are lovers," says Kim-Yen Vu.
Vu and her partner were dancing at a Tango Mundo, a social dance sponsored by Metro Tango, which meets every third Friday of the month in the Metropolitan Community Church in Hartford.
"At first, I thought, 'Tango, that's not for me. How can I be so intimate with a stranger'?" says Vu, who drives down from Kittery, Maine, to tango with the Tango Mundo group. "But by the time I learned to dance it, it was for me. Now I can't live without it."
Tango Mundo, which is open to the public, is organized by Jaime and Alexandra Alvarez of Northampton, Mass., who also teach tango at the Hartford location. The couple, immigrants from Colombia, also hold regular dances and classes in Willimantic and Amherst, Mass.
Jaime Alvarez, 74, has been dancing tango since was a child in Bogota.
"My grandmother had six boys and six girls. All of them had at least four kids. Once a month we would all get together and dance the tango," Alvarez says. "I wasn't good at first. I was dancing with a girl once and I fell and took her down with me. And then when she was coming up I stood on her dress. I was embarrassed. I thought, I have to learn this."
And he did. He came to America in 1967 and danced for recreation. He has been teaching tango and organizing tango-dancing events since 2000. His specialty is Milonguera style, or close-embrace, Argentinian-style tango, in which the dancers hold each other close from the waist up, with only their legs moving separately.
"You have to learn to embrace first," he says. "The dancers have to move as one unit."
Alvarez says the kind of tango popularized on such shows as "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Tango Fever," is "fantasy tango," meant for performance rather than social dancing. Nevertheless, those shows have caused a resurgence in the popularity of tango all around New England, with other tango events, such as the Connecticut Tango Festival, growing in numbers.
At the August Tango Mundo, each "milonguero," a person who spends time dancing social tango, has a different story about how they became devoted to tango dancing.
"I was out with my girlfriend, Alicia, and we went out to dinner and after dinner everybody pushed back the tables and started doing the tango," says Stan Huntley of Glastonbury. "All these men were asking Alicia to dance. I was just sitting there. I said 'I don't know how to do this.' That was just a few months ago."
Huntley taught square dancing for years. George Gibson, another Tango Mundo regular, has a dance background, too: The physics professor is faculty adviser of the ballroom dance team at the University of Connecticut.
Margaret McLaren, a Hartford pediatrician, also is a longtime dancer. She trained in ballet in her youth. She began taking lessons from Alvarez a few years ago, when she was going through a divorce and wanted to develop some new interests. "I didnt' know anything about the different types of tango. I envisaged the cliche, a woman with a rose in her teeth," McLaren says. "It's given me a whole new artistic life, a rebirth of the passion I had when I was younger. I was a healing process."
Brynn Deprey, who grew up in Southington, does not have a dance background. She took up tango in Cambridge, England, where she lives now, as a way to meet people. "It's a great connection with someone. It's all improvisation," she said. "When you connect with someone, it's wonderfully addictive."
Roy Burge doesn't have a dance background either, and he grew up listening to other types of music. "I'm from Jamaica. We have reggae there. The beat of reggae is fast. Tango is slow," Burge says. "It is taking me a while to learn. I came to meet people."
Alvarez has a degree in physics from a college in Colombia and a doctorate in counseling from UMass Amherst. He had a private practice in Holyoke, Mass., for 22 years before retiring. He said his counseling experience helped him be a better teacher. "One of my specialties was nonverbal communication. In tango, the dancers have to communicate nonverbally," he said. "The man needs to telegraph what she needs to do. The connection is so intimate."
More than anything else, however, tango is a way to socialize, get some exercise and stay young.
"You never get old if you can dance and embrace a woman," he says.
METRO TANGO meets at the Colt Cadwell Memorial, in the back of Metropolitan Community Church, 155 Wyllys St. in Hartford, on the third Friday of every month. Jaime and Alexandra Alvarez arrive at 6:30 p.m. to introduce new people to tango, and social dancing begins at 7:30 p.m. No partner is required. Leather-soled footwear is a must. The Alvarezes teach classes every Thursday at the Colt Cadwell, beginners from 6 to 7 p.m. and intermediate from 7 to 8 p.m., followed by two hours of dancing. Lessons are also held at Kramer Gym, 322 Prospect St. in Willimantic, every Sunday, beginners at 2 p.m. and intermediate at 3 p.m. Lessons are $15 a session, or $60 for five. Metro Tango social dance events are $10 a person. To join the classes or the Tango Mundo events, call 860-922-1420 or 413-585-9695 or 617-308-7370.

Roger Brown's Diamond Notes: Exeter's Ethan Joyce is mowing them downBY ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 07. 2013 9:38PM
EXETER'S Ethan Joyce hasn't left much room for improvement this season. At least not when he's been on the mound.
Joyce, a senior, hasn't allowed a run in 21-1/3 innings for an Exeter team that improved to 7-4 in Division I by beating Nashua South 8-5 Monday.
Joyce has a 3-0 record and has also appeared in relief twice. He has allowed 10 hits, three walks and has recorded 31 strikeouts.
"In this league you never expect a kid to go this long and not give up a run, but we're not terribly surprised that he's thrown the ball as well as he has," Exeter coach Kevin McQueen said. "At times he's overpowered people, but he knows how to pitch as well."
Joyce is a four-year varsity player who plays shortstop for the Blue Hawks when he's not on the mound. He has committed to play shortstop for Southern Connecticut State, a Division II school that competes in the Northeast-10 Conference. His father, Bruce, is an assistant coach with the Blue Hawks and used to be the baseball coach at Southern New Hampshire University.
Exeter has received exceptional pitching overall this year. Entering Monday's game, the Blue Hawks had allowed two runs in their six victories.
Joyce, who was the starting quarterback on Exeter's football team, was 7-0 with a 1.51 ERA last season.
"He locates very well," McQueen said. "He's pretty accomplished out there and the key is he's around the plate. He's not going to give you much in terms of walks. He's been pretty solid."
AT A LOSS: The Oyster River softball team's 4-0 loss at Milford on Friday left the Bobcats with an 0-10 record in Division II. Oyster River will not only be seeking its first win of the season when it plays at Portsmouth today, it will be trying to win its first game since the 2007 season.
Oyster River is 0-92 since the start of the 2008 season and has six games remaining on its schedule. Its final regular-season game will be at Kingswood of Wolfeboro, which is currently 0-9.
MARQUEE MATCHUPS: Today's big games including Windham (8-1) at Goffstown (11-1) baseball, and Timberlane (11-1) at Goffstown (9-1) softball.
Goffstown and Windham are the top two teams in the Division II standings, and the Jaguars will enter today's contest on an eight-game winning streak.
Timberlane is alone atop the Division I softball standings. Concord, which has six shutouts this season, is tied with Dover for second place.
NOTEWORTHY: Souhegan's Connor Cinque picked off three of the six Coe-Brown players who reached base in Souhegan's 4-2 victory Friday. ... The White Mountains softball team, which is 9-0 in Division II, is the only unbeaten varsity baseball or softball team in the state. ... The Keene baseball team has won four of its last five after a 1-5 start. ... The Londonderry, Monadnock and Newmarket baseball teams currently own lengthy winning streaks. Monadnock and Newmarket have each won eight in a row, and Londonderry stretched its winning streak to seven games by beating Salem 7-2 Monday. ... Spaulding baseball won its first six games, but is 1-4 since then.

OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 3 (UPI) -- Stephen Curry hit six of Golden State's 12 baskets from 3-point range Wednesday and led the Warriors to a 115-94 decision over the Los Angeles Clippers.
After winning 17 straight games, the Clippers have lost twice in as many nights.
The Warriors have captured four in a row and, despite the long Los Angeles streak, Golden State has stayed within 2 ½ games of the Clippers at the top of the Pacific Division.
Golden State, which has captured 12 of its last 15, will meet the Clippers again Saturday in Los Angeles.
Curry scored 31 points, David Lee added 24 points and 13 rebounds and Klay Thompson chipped in 19 points. The Warriors went 12-of-23 from long range and won the rebounding battle by 15.
Los Angeles was within four midway through the second period but fell behind by 13 at halftime and could not make a game of it during the final two periods.
Jamal Crawford came off the bench to score 24 points for the Clippers and Chris Paul added 23.

Are Politicians Smarter Than the Rest of Us?
I have recently had the opportunity to attend various briefings given by key Michigan legislators and the governor. Although the topics being discussed where different, the mindset of the legislators was alarmingly similar.
The predominant mindset of the political class, regardless of party affiliation, is that they are smart enough to plan the future for Michigan residents on critical issues ranging from energy to health care. This attitude seems to get progressively worse the longer elected officials are in office. Perhaps this is a major reason most voters continue to support term limits despite the continual ranting from politicians that such limits destroy their ability to make government work.
Stay Engaged
While the intentions of these politicians may be noble, the outcome of their actions is fraught with broken promises and unintended consequences. When confronted with failed outcomes, politicians often seem oblivious to their attempts to control outcomes — just trust us we will get it right next time seems to be their common response.
The cure for this dilemma is abstinence. Politicians must first recognize that they are not smart enough to plan everyone's future. The first step in the road to recovery is to adopt the principal of "do no more harm." Whether the issue is spending taxpayer money on risky alternative energy projects or dictating the type of health care Americans must have, further intervention into the operation of free markets will only inflict more damage to the economy and continual loss of personal freedoms.
When voters choose candidates, they should look for ones who do not think they are smarter than the rest of us.

It looks like a 2-door coupe, but it has four doors (2 long forward hinged doors in front, two short rear hinged doors in back, with no pillar between the front and rear doors). It has a rust proof and dent resistant plastic body, it is supercharged and VERY fast (but inexpensive).
If you want an undercover hotrod, get a Saturn ION RedLine without the rear wing. This is the last of the CANNOT rust plastic bodied Saturns, so, if you live in the snow/rust belt, you better buy this one before they're all gone!

NH Catholics talk about the kind of Pope the church needsBy KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 10. 2013 10:12PM
The next Pope needs to be much more than a holy man, teacher and shepherd to the estimated 1.2 billion Roman Catholics worldwide and a better manager of the Vatican's internal bureaucracy than his predecessor, several New Hampshire Catholics said.
But Pope Benedict XVI's successor must be much more.
The new pontiff must continue to address the clergy sexual abuse crisis and - perhaps most importantly - confront what several clerics call the "godless" agenda of the primarily secular Western world that threatens to strip people of their humanity and seeks to silence the voice of religion.
"The Western world has become virtually de-Christianized and we need a new evangelization," the Rev. Benedict M. Guevin said of the church's mission to better convey the gospel message to its people.
"I think the new Pope has to get his immediate house in order as one aspect of his papacy, but also continue to promote this new evangelization, especially in the northern hemisphere and Western world," Guevin added. Guevin is a Benedictine priest and professor of theology at St. Anselm College.
The college of cardinals announced Friday they set Tuesday to open the conclave where they will meet in secrecy and prayer until they elect a new Pope. The announcement followed eight days of pre-conclave discussions since Pope Benedict XVI voluntarily retired Feb. 28.
Excitement building
"There is a kind of excitement building. Maybe they realize without even consulting each other that this is done. We've done our work and now it's time to do our next job, which is to elect," Guevin said.
Guevin said he expects a new Pope to be announced by the end of this week, noting no conclave lasted more than five days in the last 100 years.
"This is a really, historic moment for the church - probably unprecedented," said Msgr. Anthony R. Frontiero, who was appointed rector of St. Joseph Cathedral in Manchester in 2011 after returning from a five-year assignment as Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace at the Vatican. He previously served as diplomatic attache for the Holy See at the United Nations.
"It will be important for the cardinals to take their time ... and carefully consider the church's position and what's at stake in this election for a new Pope, particularly given the circumstances and the climate that we find ourselves in today," Frontiero added.
The increasing influence of secularization in the Western world and a church that, to date, has not been able to effectively communicate its message or help its people integrate its teachings into their lives are key challenges facing the next Pope, Frontiero said.
"I'd like to see this as a tremendous opportunity to find ways in which we can help our people - Catholic people and the world - because the Roman Catholic Church is a voice of hope for the world," Frontiero added.
Clergy sexual abuse
While Catholics hold widely varying opinions on qualities the next Pope should have, most agree he must be committed to resolving the clergy sexual abuse crisis.
"It's paramount," Frontiero said. Benedict, he said, made "some progress in the accountability of bishops."
"That progress needs to continue and there needs to be transparency ... We can't evade these things any more. We've got to handle them directly. Accountability, especially among the bishops, is critical," he added.
Guevin added that "we need a Pope who would continue to address the clergy abuse scandal to make it clear to the bishops that ... they really try to make it a priority to protect children."
Longtime advocate of abuse victims, Carolyn Disco of Merrimack, said the only viable candidate for the post is Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin.
"There is a zero chance for his election, but he 'gets it'," Disco said in an e-mail response. Martin admitted bishops covered up clergy sexual abuse, voluntarily released church files to government-sanctioned investigators and served in the Holy See's diplomatic corps, said Disco, who is New Hampshire Voice of the Faithful's survivor support chairman.
"My heart's desire is to see a new Pope who chooses the name John XXIV," Disco added, referring to Pope John XXIII who instituted the Second Vatican Council a half-century ago.
"I was in college when Vatican II began and shared the extraordinary reawakening of that time. I struggle to hold to the vision of an open window where accountability and transparency have substance," she added.
Marie Dancy also favors a Pope who will continue what she called John XXIII's vision.
"We need to follow through with this inspired vision," said Dancy, religious education director at St. Anne-St. Augustin Parish in Manchester.
"He opened the windows ... They weren't completely closed, but they have to be opened wide again," she added.
Within the red brick walls of the cloistered monastery of the Adorers of the Precious Blood in Manchester, religious sisters are praying for the cardinal electors.
The cloistered and contemplative order of about 25 nuns routinely prays six hours a day.
"We hope for a holy man, a humble man, an intelligent man and someone with the energy to handle the great demands of the office," Sister Mary Joseph said.
Restoring vibrancy
Nick Boudreau, 32, of Manchester said younger Catholics who came of age under Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI "really want to feel that same personal relationship with the new Pope."
"John Paul II set the standard for future Popes to be road warriors so that young people have the opportunity to build that bond with him as the supreme shepherd of our church and Pope Benedict continued to carry that torch," explained Boudreau, a lifelong Catholic active in young adult ministry.
"The world is full of competing forces that are contrary to the will of God, so I think young people look to the Pope to break through this confusion and give us truth," he added.
Other New Hampshire Catholics also hope for a Pope who will restore vibrancy to the church.
"I think there are a lot of challenges - abortion, euthanasia, I would like (the church) to be as vibrant as it was years ago," said Valerie Flanagan of Goffstown.
Jason Comeau, 32, of Goffstown, said he would like to see a Pope who remains true to the church's teaching and is a "good leader" who will "try to confront the previous damage" caused by the clergy sexual abuse crisis.
Lifelong Catholics Diane Gauthier, 71, and Susan Bedard, 70, both of Manchester, hope for a Pope who would shatter what they call the church's "good old boy mentality" and allow women priests, married priests, and address the clergy sexual abuse crisis - as well as be more inclusive of homosexuals.
"I don't think that will happen in my lifetime," said Gauthier, a licensed nursing assistant who works at Elliot Hospital.
Guevin of St. Anselm would agree, saying such positions are against Catholic teaching, which not even the Pope has the authority to change.
"Some people will say, for example, we need a Pope for the 21st century. But it's difficult to know what that means," Guevin said.

Looks like TDT is going with missyraes spoilers. REWARD CHALLENGE: "Roll With It" - Russell S. collapses due to dehydration, removed IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: Cancelled? BOOT: None?Survivor: Samoa episode 6 detailed boot spoilers/ speculation Once again, EW revealed several weeks ago that the second and final medical evacuation would take place in this episode. So that accounts for at least one person out this week. And as the preview shows (as previously alleged by missyae at Sucks) that person is Russell Swan. But in looking at the calendar and the schedule of remaining shows leading up to the finale, they still need to ditch two people in one episode at some point between here and the finale, if it's on 12/13, as originally scheduled. Still, there's this: missyae 10/8/09 4:01 p.m. "When Russell goes down in the challenge - Foa Foa had a lead and thought they had it won. BOTH tribes go to Tribal Council and sit and talk with Jeff and NOBODY is voted out." Major update: From the web promo, weekend ads, and press photos, it looks like this will be a single-day episode, and the central event will be the aborted RC and Russell Swan's medical evacuation. Possibly even including the no-boot tribal council missyae mentions above. This apparently will be accomplished by adding an extra episode to the schedule, and pushing the finale date back to December 20th, consistent with a rumor reported by Wezzie at MeSS. http://www.truedorktimes.com/survivor_samoa/spoilers/e6/boot.htm

Coffee semifreddo
Since that lime semifreddo I made the other day has taken over my brain, I had to do something about that. Have you not made it? Oh my god, get to it. If lime isn't so much your thing, how about coffee? I made this with decaf, because I wanted to be able to eat this at night time. I can't have any caffeine after noon, or else I can't sleep.
This is super sweet, which makes it perfect to scoop into your coffee in the morning. It's a little too sweet to eat on it's own, but you can use half a can of condensed milk and more whipped cream if you'd like it less sweet, or don't want to put it in your coffee. Yum. Also, it separates a bit if you don't stir while it's freezing, but it really doesn't matter. Both the top and the bottom taste the same, it's just not as uniform.
Coffee semifreddo
1 can condensed milk (14 oz)
2/3 c very strong coffee
1/2 c heavy cream
Whisk together the condensed milk and coffee in a medium sized bowl, then set aside. Whip the heavy cream until it holds stiff peaks, then fold into the coffee mixture. Pour into a loaf pan and freeze until firm, stirring once or twice. Serve in your coffee.

Praise for No Holds Barred
"This inspiring book is an invitation to bold, honest, and passionate communication with God. Mark Roberts points us to a biblical view of prayer, full of reality and reverence. Mark reminds us of the astounding freedom in prayer we find throughout the Psalms, and encourages us to take advantage of that freedom. Read this book and discover your 'inner psalmist'!"
–Matt Redman, songwriter, worship leader, author of Facedown and The Unquenchable Worshipper
"No Holds Barred is fresh, practical, and profound–a rarity in contemporary books on prayer. Mark Roberts gently guides us into more sincere prayer, helping us overcome our inhibitions and press into the bold and often shocking prayers of the Psalms. This book will richly reward those who take its truth to heart and who apply the principles Mark Roberts so ably explores."
–Gary Thomas, author of Sacred Pathways and Sacred Marriage
"If you're tired of hiding from God, No Holds Barred could be your route to spiritual honesty. One chapter after another explores the well-traveled tributaries of the Psalms, ancient conduits for navigating the wonders, chaos, and tragedies of life."
–Sally Morgenthaler, author of Worship Evangelism, founder of Sacramentis.com and Digital Glass Productions
"No Holds Barred personalizes the Psalms for me and gives me lots of tools to communicate with God. Mark Roberts shows us not just the actions and words of praying the Psalms, but also the right heart, attitude, and theology behind those actions and words. This book will help you pray through the tough situations of life, and show you how to be utterly honest with God–no matter how you feel."
–Andy Park, worship leader, songwriter, author of To Know You More
"Mark Roberts gives us not only the permission but also the biblical mandate of wrestling with God in prayer. He writes with no holds barred as he invites us to discover profound theological truths and to participate in the book's practical exercises. In doing so, he brings us boldly to God's throne of grace with confidence."
–Libby Vincent, Presbyterian pastor and adjunct professor, Fuller Theological Seminary
"In No Holds Barred, Mark Roberts brings the unique perspective of pastor and theologian to one of the most pressing concerns of the day: How shall we pray, and specifically, how do the Psalms tell us to pray? As with his previous books, Mark blends the easy accessibility of a sermon with the deep learning of a scholar-theologian to bring every reader closer to the heart of the Psalms and thus to the heart of God."
–Hugh Hewitt, best-selling author, radio host of the nationally syndicated Hugh Hewitt Show

The NFL Draft will be held tonight, Friday and Saturday in Chicago. Los Angeles Times NFL beat writer Sam Farmer examines team needs by division and in order of when they select:
(in order of first selections by division)
Eagles: To get in position to take one of the two top quarterbacks, the wheeling-and-dealing Eagles made two trades to climb from No. 13 to No. 2. Now they can select North Dakota State's Carson Wentz — believed to be their preferred choice — or Cal's Jared Goff. With DeMarco Murray gone, running back is on the radar.
Cowboys: They can grab a defensive star at No. 4, a welcome change...

My wife has a good philosophy degree from a good uni; I'll ask her if she'll sell it to you. It'll be a lot easier - all you need is a change of name. : )
Thanks to all for the kudos and support. :-) I'm really looking forward to having this albatross off my neck. It almost feels like being in an abusive marriage for twenty years and finally working up the courage to file for divorce.
think of the young coeds who will flock to you for your linguistic brilliance in comp 101.
But get 'er done and be proud of yourself. I wish you well.
How confident are you in finding a job after finishing your degree? A few articles I've read on Yahoo seem to think there are not a lot of positions in your field.
So are wel all invited to the graduation party? That's the important part!
Funny how you need an intro class to graduate. Methinks that means you're doing it backwards
I'm happy, and you will be too.
And with that paper in hand you can start to get letters from your school asking alumni for money. Enjoy.
Psych 101 ? Oh, shit, he will be analyzing us now.

David Fleming Exhibit
February 23 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
An event every day that begins at 8:00am, repeating until March 23, 2018
David Fleming Exhibit
Artist Reception, Brown Bag and talk is scheduled for Weds., February 21 at 12:10 in the Art Gallery.
Artist Statement
What interests me in digital photography is the freedom for digital abstraction — the "freedom from representational qualities in art."
My work begins with what photography does best — the creation of a faithful representation of an object or place. Then two statements from two very different artists drive the abstracting process that follows:
"Color is life." – Marc Chagall
"Take something. Do something to it. Do something else to it." – Jasper Johns
The creative freedom inherent in digital manipulation of composition and color goes through many iterations until an image emerges that says "Save me". Next day, more iterations, and with patience (and sometimes luck) perhaps some new images emerge that merit "Save as".
Artist Bio
I studied modern art and literature in college, but did not take up a studio practice until 15 years ago. Since that time I have exhibited acrylic paintings, hand built ceramics, site specific installations, and most recently digitally enhanced photographs.
The Photography of David Fleming at ICON in April and June (2017)
Visual artists aren't usually known for extensive verbal analysis of the creative process, but occasionally they can hit mark, and with just a few words inspire other artists. That's what Jasper Johns did for Fairfield photographer David Fleming, when he summed up his own artistic practice in three short sentences: "Take something. Do something to it. Do something else to it." Add to that some words of Chagall ("Color is life"), and Picasso ("When I haven't any blue I use red"), and Fleming found plenty of direction for his creativity.
All three of these quotes find expression in the extensive body of [purposely untitled ?] work showing at Fairfield's ICON Gallery in April and May. Entitled "Altered Images — Photographs by David Fleming", the nearly 100 prints explore a wide variety of styles and subjects, from the abstracted shapes of ordinary tables and chairs, to Amish buggies, industrial trucks, trains and machinery, cemetery statuary, botanical forms, and the nude. Roughly half of the images are in (often vibrant) color, and half in black and white, ranging from coal black, to grungy/grainy greys, to pristine white.
And don't expect everything to be in sharp focus. While Ansel Adams is known for saying, "There's nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept," Fleming has turned this notion around to read, "Sometimes there is nothing better than a fuzzy image of a sharp concept." All his work is photo-based, even the most abstract pieces, or those that seem to be purely graphic design.
David studied art history in college, but it wasn't till he arrived in Fairfield 18 years ago that he took up studio practice, working primarily in paint, and purely abstractly. His show at Teeple-Hansen Gallery 10 years ago was titled "Lines, Dots, and Stripes". While for the past 4 years he has focused almost exclusively on photography, his background in painting — and the aphorisms of other artists — serve as his inspiration and continue be his creative launching pad.

Take advantage of winter and head to the Rocky Mountains for some skiing. If you base yourself in Calgary, a few extra hours of travel time will reward you with lower prices, shorter lift lines and vibrant little ski towns.
Marmot Basin
Claims to Fame: It offers the same majestic scenery of other Rockies resorts but none of the mayhem. A "secluded playground," according to one online review. Marmot added three new lifts since 2009, including the longest high-speed quad chair in the Canadian Rockies.
What's New: To celebrate the resort's 50th anniversary this year, many hotels are offering stay-and-ski deals. Check www.jaspercelebrates.com for details. With the new My Marmot card, you purchase lift tickets directly from the online store with a 10 per cent discount on lift prices.
Runs: 86, plus one terrain park and a rail park
Lifts: 6 (three high-speed express quads, a quad chairlift, a triple chairlift and a Magic Carpet)
Single-Day Lift Ticket Price (plus GST): Adult (18-64) $82.50; Senior (65 and older) $66; Youth (13-17) $66; Junior (6-12) $29.95; Student (18-24 with ID) $66
Skiable Terrain: 682 hectares
Terrain Breakdown: 30 per cent beginner; 30 per cent intermediate; 20 per cent advanced; 20 per cent expert
Vertical drop: 914 metres
Longest Run: 5.6 kilometres
Insider Tips: Jennifer Heil, five-time World Champion moguls skier and two-time Olympic medalist, favours the Rock Gardens. The area is never groomed since snowcats lack access to the area. If you're skiing with kids, ask a local to point you to Dragons Jaw. It's an unmarked tree trail just off skier's left on the lower portion of Roll Out. The trail is perfect for kids who have mastered the snowplow.
Contact Info: www.skimarmot.com, 1-866-952-3816
What the Olympian Says: Marmot Basin is where childhood memories are made for Heil: "Like at six years old when my dad missed the chairlift and I rode up the Knob chair all by myself," she says. "I can remember brimming with pride at this accomplishment and gaining confidence on the slopes!" She traveled there with her family almost every weekend from Edmonton. Skiing there consistently for the past decade, she loves the beautiful environment, varied terrain and wide-open runs. Her namesake, Jenn's Run was a complete surprise for her: "It is really special to me because Marmot Basin played such a critical role in both my ski development and life long passion for skiing."
Red Mountain Resort
Claims to Fame: Where to start? It's a place with 7.6 metres of annual snowfall, impressive vertical, in-bounds cat-skiing, 360-degree descents off many peaks, the best tree skiing around and affordable lift tickets. In the last two years, Powder Magazine, the New York Times and Forbes magazine have given Red the nod as one of the top resorts in the world.
What's New: Red can claim title of the most impressive expansion of any ski resort this year with its new quad chairlift on Grey Mountain. It adds 22 new runs and 403 hectares of mostly intermediate terrain. (Cool fact: All the new runs are named after songs.) The intermediate-friendly cat service will access a new area on Topping Creek this year. Price is $10 a run. Two important additions on the beer front: they've added a new Weiner Take All beer-and-brat station and a craft beer festival in March called Beer Goggles.
Runs: 110, plus a terrain park
Lifts: 7 (two quad chairs, two triple chairs, one double chair, one Magic Carpet and one T-bar)
Single-Day Lift Ticket Price (plus GST): Adult (19-64) $72; Senior (65-74) $47; Youth (13-18) $58; Junior (7-12) $36; Master (75 and older) free; Child (under 5) free
Skiable Terrain: 1,700 hectares
Terrain Breakdown: 16 per cent beginner; 47 per cent intermediate; 37 per cent advanced/expert
Vertical Drop: 890 metres
Longest Run: 7 kilometres
Insider Tips: In search of powder stashes? Check out the "Pretty Vacant" area of the new mountain. It's named after a Sex Pistols song. No trip to Red is complete without a visit to Rafters. You'll have a good laugh at the photos of the Old Bastards Ski Club. Parents, there is a children's section in the bar.
Contact Info: www.redresort.com, 1-800-663-0105
What the Olympian Says: After a near career-ending injury, Sochi hopeful Ian Lockey launched his Paralympic path at Red Mountain. "If I can ride Red, I can ride anything," he says. "The terrain and the atmosphere of Red have taken me to the highest level of snowboarding." Snowboarding there regularly from 1995, Lockey moved to Red permanently in 2003. "I ride about 100 days a year depending on my competitive schedule. I love the steep, deep powder tree riding," he says. He got married on top of Granite Mountain during a midwinter storm. "So I have a very special spot — and wife," says Lockey. For recreational skiers and riders, he recommends Red for steep and tight trees over three cone-shaped mountains and no crowds.
Whitefish Mountain Resort
Claims To Fame: Whether you think in terms of greenbacks or loonies, dollars go far here. Your $69 lift ticket gives access to a 360-degree summit with access to chutes, glades and bowls. Other notable features include jaw-dropping views, lack of lift lines, beautiful tree skiing and a friendly vibe. A free shuttle bus runs from town to the resort daily throughout the winter.
What's New: This year marks phase one of a two-phase project that will open up more areas on the north side of the mountain. This year, four intermediate runs and two connector runs were created near the Big Foot T-bar. A 1,200-foot addition to the base lodge created better views of the beginner area and additional 100 seats. Whitefish now offers snowboarding lessons for three- to six-year-olds.
Runs: 102, plus five terrain parks
Lifts: 14 (three high-speed quads, two fixed-grip quads, six triple chairs, two T-bars, one Magic Carpet)
Single-Day Lift Ticket Price: Adults (18-64) $69; Senior (65-69) $58; Teen (13-18) $62; Junior (7-12) $36; Child (6 and under) free; Super Senior (70 and over) free
Skiable terrain: 1,214 hectares
Terrain Breakdown: 13 per cent beginner; 38 per cent intermediate; 43 per cent advanced; 6 per cent expert
Vertical Drop: 717 metres
Longest Run: 5.3 kilometres (Hell Fire)
Insider Tips: You'll almost always find the best snow on the North side of the mountain. For lunch or après ski, hit up Ed & Mully's for a Montana beer and a pulled-pork sandwich made with local Farm-To-Market pork.
Contact Info: 1-877-SKI-FISH; www.skiwhitefish.com
What the Olympian Says: Tommy Moe is a legend at Whitefish. There's a run called MoeMentum, a sandwich called Moe Snow in the Hellroaring Saloon & Eatery, and the Tommy Moe Kids Racing League. "My first memory of ever skiing was between my Dad's legs, learning how to snowplow on Chair 3," says the former Olympic gold and silver medalist. "And, I remember being at elementary school in Whitefish and staring out the window at the ski area, wishing I was up there skiing," he adds. He developed his speed on the cat track from North Bowl to Chair 4. "It was a good place for me to practice how to ski fast on a flat ski, which really helped me as a downhill racer," he explains. Part of his enjoyment of skiing Whitefish is the varied conditions, anything from powder, to flat light, to corn. "I even remember my Dad letting us skip school on powder days," he says. "I was lucky to grow up at such a great resort and had tons of other great skiers to look up to."
Whitewater Ski Resort
Claims to Fame: Last year, Nelson – together with Rossland – won Powder magazine's Ski Town Throwdown after Nelson's mayor went door to door asking the town's citizens to vote. But it wasn't just the door-knocking that earned the victory for the west Kootenay city. The win is a testament to a friendly ski town known for great snow, steep tree runs, awesome backcountry accessible terrain and one of the best cafeterias in the business.
What's New: Don't expect huge changes this year. Whitewater just keeps doing its thing. A few new runs have been cut off Glory Ridge, along with glading and hill work. They're offering a new menu item that was a hit on the summer festival circuit –breakfast poutine, a.k.a. the hangover special.
Runs: 89, plus one rail park
Lifts: 4 (one triple chair, two double chairlifts, one handle tow)
Single-Day Lift Ticket Price (plus GST): Adult (19 and older) $68; Senior (65 and older) $54; Youth (13-18) $54; Junior (7-12) $34; Child (6 and under) free; Super Senior (75 and older) free
Skiable Terrain: 678 hectares
Terrain Breakdown: 10 per cent beginner; 32 per cent intermediate; 47 per cent advanced; 11 per cent expert
Vertical Drop: 623 metres
Longest Run: 3 kilometres
Insider Tips: Head over to the Trash Chutes on Summit Side where you'll find powder stashes and great alleys through the trees.. Never bring your own food to Whitewater. Eat as often as possible at Fresh Tracks Café, the cafeteria that led to the award-winning Whitewater cookbook series.
Contact Info: www.skiwhitewater.com, 1-800-666-9420
What the Olympian Says: After competing in two Winter Olympics, Mark Fawcett now coaches the Canada Snowboard National Team. Living in Nelson for the past decade, he combines alpine team training and travel with riding at Whitewater around 15 days per season. "I cherry pick 'em; those are all incredible powder days," says Fawcett who excels in ripping turns on ice and corduroy, too. His Olympic talents were refined on high-speed tree runs on Whitewater's backside. "Whitewater is unique in that its trees are naturally spaced at giant slalom gate distance," he explains. His favourite aspects of the resort are snow quality and quantity, rugged terrain, easy access to backcountry, great lodge food and abundance of like-minded individuals. Whitewater's differential: "Its simplicity and its focus on skiing and riding, not real estate sales," says Fawcett.

Pitney Bowes Inc. (PBI) is the world's largest seller of postage meters, devices that allow companies to print postage on letters rather than using stamps. The company has over 2 million customers worldwide. Its sale and operation of postage meters is heavily regulated by national governments, since printing postage essentially amounts to printing money, and this creates high barriers to entry that protect Pitney Bowes' virtual monopoly in this business. PBI controls 80% of the domestic postage-meter market and 65% internationally.[1]
While postage meters are in continual demand by any business that sends a lot of mail, direct mailing is being increasingly displaced by internet advertising, and this limits PBI's growth opportunities within its core market. To build revenues in the long term, PBI has turned its attention outside of postage meters into businesses such as document services, including letter production and design software, facilities management, and outsourced marketing.[2] The firm has made $2.5 billion in acquisitions since 2000 in order to diversify beyond the postage meter business. Notable acquisitions in 2007 - when the firm spent $570 million buying other companies - included MapInfo (Troy, NY) and Digital Cement (Toronto, Canada). [3]
However, these businesses are relatively new to PBI, which has historically focused exclusively on postage meters since its founding in 1902.[4] Industries such as document management, information intelligence, and legal services are not regulated by the government, and there are low barriers to entry which create competition in these markets - something Pitney Bowes does not deal with in the postage meter business. In these markets PBI is forced to compete with firms like Xerox and IKON Office Solutions (IKN) that have specialized in these businesses for longer and have established customer relationships. This presents a challenge to PBI as it builds an economic niche outside of its traditional dominance in postage meters.
PBI's biggest source of revenue is its U.S. Mailing division. The company's 85 acquisitions since 2000, along with its international postage meter operation, make up the rest of PBI's business. PBI divides its offerings into two main sections, Mailstream Solutions and Mailstream Services.
In 2009, Pitney Bowe
Pitney Bowes has seven reportable operating segments.
PBI's U.S. Mailing division, which best represents PBI's original core postage meter business, accounted for more than 36% of the firm's total revenues in 2009. PBI controls 80% of the domestic postage-meter market and 65% internationally.[8] High barriers to entry faced by potential competitors protect this market share; since postage meters essentially print money, governments tightly regulate this industry and limit the number of providers.
However, growth in this division's revenue is stagnant.[9] This lack of growth is due to the fact that use of computers has increased dramatically since the 1990s, and as a result, businesses are increasingly using internet advertising as a less expensive substitute for brochures and catalogs sent through the mail.
The rise of E-Commerce has significantly decreased the demand for PBI's postage meter services, so PBI has reacted by rapidly expanding into other areas (see the list of divisions in business overview above). Although PBI has invested significant capital in its own research and development, its expansion has thus far been accomplished through $2.5 billion in acquisitions since 2000. These purchases have included a wide variety of companies, including MapInfo (location intelligence), Digital Cement (customer relationship management), Ibis Consulting, Inc. (electronic legal discovery services), and Group 1 Software, Inc. (mailing efficiency software), among others.
PBI does not have the same competitive advantages or market dominance in these areas as it does in its postage meter segment. Other companies, already dedicated to these other markets, are more established in their respective specialties and have existing relationships with customers. The success of PBI's expansion strategy will depend on PBI's ability to acquire companies that are already well-established and can maintain a niche in their markets.
The most notable change included was a transition from purely weight-based pricing to a new system that took the shape of the piece of mail into account as well. [10] Under the new regulations, postage will be cheaper for pieces that are more easily processed by USPS equipment. Letter-size envelopes will fare the best, followed by flats (e.g. manila envelopes) and then parcels. Due to these changes, customers - particularly large companies that regularly send large volumes of mail - stand to save lots of money by conforming to the most cost-effective shaping standards.
PBI will gain in two ways as a result of shape-based pricing. First of all, demand will increase for products like the Shape Based Sizing Template, which helps mailers compute the exact, correct postage for their mail according to the new, more complex shape-based pricing rules. Secondly, demand will also increase for machines offered by PBI that fold mail into the specific shapes that cost the least to send under the new system; for example, customers will be interested in machines that will let them change mailings that are currently formatted as flats into letter-shaped envelopes (which are now less expensive). [11]
As mentioned above, the postage meter business is tightly regulated by the government because the meters essentially print money. Only four companies other than PBI are licensed to produce and sell postage meters in the United States:[12]
Pitney Bowes also competes with other companies in its other business segments. These companies include:

To the design team:
I'm a computer engineering student, and I believe that I would like to get involved in OLPC (or something similar pertaining to distributing technology to the developing world) in the future. I think I really benefitted from being able to talk with and learn from people all over the world as a youth on my computer/the internet. But as I got older, I realized there are whole parts of the world that haven't been touched by the interconnectedness and opportunities that computer technology can bring us. This should be fixed.
So now I've reached the stage in my studies where I'm doing summer research programs and considering applying to graduate school to study more. I want to study something that can be applied to OLPC and similar projects down the road. So my question is - what do you guys need? I'm interested to hear about everything, but I'm thinking I might like to focus on hardware/computer achitecture. I've been reading up on computer architecture techniques for power efficiency. Additionally I'll be researching technology and infrastructure for emerging regions at UC Berkeley this summer, maybe doing some power management work. But these are just my stabs in the dark. It'd be great to hear what R&D and improvements are needed straight from the horses mouth.'
Thanks a lot.

Second Stillborn's Remains May Have Gone to Laundry
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A Minnesota hospital says the remains of a second stillborn baby also may have been sent to a laundry service.
Regions Hospital of St. Paul said Friday it believes the second set of remains were in the same basket of linens that held the remains of another stillborn baby. The linens were sent to a laundry in Red Wing.
On Wednesday, the hospital discovered a stillborn at 22 weeks gestational age had been found by laundry service workers.
The hospital announced Friday that the remains of a stillborn at 19 weeks gestational age were also in the same basket of linens. The hospital has ruled out that those remains went to a funeral home or another location.
Hospital CEO Brock Nelson apologized for what he called a "terrible mistake."
