Crow Holdings Capital Partners, an investment arm of the Trammell Crow family in Dallas, said Wednesday that it has acquired the historic Brown Palace Hotel & Spa and adjacent Comfort Inn Downtown Denver.

The Crow Holdings Fund VI completed the purchase for an undisclosed amount, the company said.

"I am very confident they will be a good steward of this hotel and keep the tradition and historical aspects as other owners have in the past," Brown Palace general manager Marcel Pitton said.

He said no changes are planned in staffing, branding or how the hotels operate.

Dallas-based Quorum Hotel and Resorts, which has managed the property the past 26 years, will continue to do so, said Pitton, who described the transaction as "seamless."

Quorum is part of the investment group, known as Brown Palace Joint Ventures, that put the hotel up for sale in September. This is the fourth time the historic hotel has changed hands, the previous sale was in October 1983.

"The Brown Palace Hotel is well-aligned with Crow Holdings Capital's hotel investment strategy, which is focused on upscale assets with strong underlying fundamentals," Crow Holdings Capital's director of hotel investments Diane Parmerlee said in a statement.

Crow Holdings, through six funds, has invested in 33 hotels worth about $2.5 billion since 1998, the company said. Its holdings include the 1,606-room Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas and the 316-room Windsor Court hotel in New Orleans.

The Brown Palace's previous owners spent $19 million on improvements in the past five years, including upgrades to the hotel's spa, ballroom and suites. Last spring, the hotel started a 3-year facade restoration project.

Although Pitton didn't have specifics, he said the new owner is expected to continue to make improvements.

A year ago, the hotel joined Marriott International's Autograph Collection of high-end properties, and that arrangement will continue.

Henry C. Brown built the triangular-shaped hotel at 321 17th St. in 1892, and it is the city's second-oldest hotel, after the Oxford in LoDo.

The Brown Palace was one of the first hotels to incorporate an atrium-style design. Over the years it has hosted numerous dignitaries, including former presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower.

Failures, to Varying Degrees

Phoenix and Philadelphia both wanted to shove a horrible season of basketball down their fans' throats this year in the hope they'd be able to land a top pick in this summer's stacked draft. Phoenix blew their chances early and will probably have to fight and claw to hold on to the 7 or 8 seed in the West. The Sixers, well, they're still in the process of throwing away a golden opportunity.

We've been going back and forth in the comments for weeks, so let's keep the conversation going (it's better than talking about what's happening on the floor). Here are my feelings, feel free to add your own in the comments, dispute my theories, posit your own. Let's try to keep it civil (and I'm mostly pointing a finger at myself here. I need to do a better job of addressing ideas, and not personalities, in the comments).

The Sixers have 14 wins in 44 games. At their current rate, they'll finish with 26 wins. 26 wins would have been the 5th-worst record last season, 8th worst the season before. It's more than likely 26 wins will leave the Sixers outside of the bottom five. They have 14 wins with their two most important players (Thad and MCW) having missed a combined 15 games of the first 44 (The team is 2-13 in games either of those players missed).

It's been clear since before the Ice Capades trip this team, as constructed, will have trouble finishing atop the lottery odds spectrum. They've obviously needed a downgrade in talent on the floor, yet no move has been made. Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes are both enjoying career years at the expense of ping pong balls. The play of these two players - both free agents at the end of the year, which is an important point - has devalued the team's most important asset, their own lottery pick in this summer's draft.

It should be clear to everyone that Evan Turner is not a part of the team's future beyond this season. His career year still leaves him as possibly the worst starting small forward in the league. Spencer Hawes is an unrestricted free agent, meaning even if Sam Hinkie views Hawes as a part of the team's future, he could go out and sign him as a free agent after trading him away. These two players have hurt the team's chances at a top pick already, and the longer they're on the roster, the more damage they do. Their value around the league is minimal. No bad team will want to give up an asset of any value for them because they can simply wait until the summer and sign them as free agents (if they really want them). Perhaps a good team could find a use for one or the other, but in terms of future assets, the good teams can only offer picks in the late first round (outside of Denver, who owns the Knicks' first round pick). There's always the chance Hinkie could pry away a young guy from a contending team, a guy who might develop into a worthwhile piece down the road.

Assuming the Sixers could have moved Turner and Hawes for no return earlier, saving the wins they've already contributed in the mean time (which I think is a safe assumption), then Hinkie has thrown away those wins (and any that are added between now and whenever he does pull the trigger, if he does pull the trigger), then here's the value proposition. Hinkie has added let's say 5-8 wins, which could mean the difference between a 25% chance at the top pick and a 6% chance with the upside being either picking up a late first-round pick, and/or a marginal player with upside from a contending team.

  • Trade Turner and Hawes for nothing in December = 20% chance of winning the lottery, almost definitely in the top 4, and maybe #7 from New Orleans
  • Holding on to them = Possibly only a 4.3% chance of winning the lottery, maybe 15% of being in the top 3, #7 from New Orleans and let's say #20 in the trade at the deadline.

I'd think Sam Hinkie himself would tell you a pick in the top three is worth more than picks #7 and #21 combined.

I've ascribed some motives to Hinkie for his failure to act, hubris being the one that rings most true. He's unwilling or unable to get "taken" in a trade. It could also be that he's simply willing to roll the dice that making no moves will result in a record bad enough to finish in the bottom three. After all, every metric suggests that's where the team should be, and they're currently the third-worst. Unfortunately, differential doesn't decide lottery slots. Hinkie has failed to this point, and every game played with the current roster is another failure.

Another game to (hopefully) lose tonight. Give the current state of the team some thought, particularly Hinkie's lack of moves to secure a top slot in this year's drafts. If you believe he's done the right thing, provide a scenario where holding on to Hawes and Turner could potentially lead to a return more important than finishing with a bottom three record and increasing the Sixers odds at holding the winning ping pong ball combination.

Presidential historian expected to plead guilty

By Sarah Brumfield

Associated Press

Published: Wednesday, Feb. 1 2012 12:00 a.m. MST

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A presidential historian has indicated he will plead guilty in a case in which he is accused of stealing documents signed by President Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon Bonaparte and other well-known leaders from around the world.

Barry Landau, a New York City author and collector, is accused of taking documents from the Maryland Historical Society and conspiring to steal documents from that institution and others in the Northeast with his assistant, Jason Savedoff, who pleaded guilty in October.

Landau previously pleaded not guilty, but he has a rearraignment hearing scheduled Tuesday, just days before his trial. The hearing indicates he will change his plea. Prosecutors and his attorney refused to comment.

Savedoff pleaded guilty to theft of major artwork and conspiracy to commit theft of major artwork, the same charges Landau faces.

Savedoff admitted he worked with Landau to steal items from historical societies in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, and the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library, part of the National Archives.

The pair compiled lists of historical and famous figures, often noting the market value of documents signed by those figures, and Savedoff identified collections with valuable documents that they could target, according to the Savedoff's plea. They would distract librarians, sometimes with sweets, while they stashed documents inside clothes altered to add large hidden pockets.

Workers at the Maryland Historical Society became suspicious of the pair in July. The pair had about 80 documents when they were arrested, according to Savedoff's plea. About 60 belonged to the Maryland society, including papers signed by Lincoln worth $300,000 and presidential inaugural ball invitations and programs worth $500,000.

Searches of Landau's apartment turned up thousands of documents, including stolen documents signed by George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John Adams, as well as Marie Antoinette and German philosopher Karl Marx.

After Savedoff's plea, Landau attorney Steve Silverman said his client didn't know Savedoff had stolen documents in his Manhattan apartment and was hurt that the plea pointed a finger at him. Silverman said Savedoff only came into Landau's life about two years ago.

Prosecutors said Landau, 63, has schemed for years, if not decades, to steal valuable documents.

Real Salt Lake: Duty calls Kyle Beckerman to join U.S. national team

Published: Thursday, Oct. 11 2012 12:00 a.m. MDT

SALT LAKE CITY— Duty calls.

At least that is how RSL captain Kyle Beckerman is taking in the recent call-up to join the USMNT.

Beckerman has appeared 23 times since Jurgen Klinsmann took over as the U.S. head coach, and has enjoyed playing at both levels of competition.

"It's neat to see both sides," said the RSL captain. "Playing with the national team — you get on the level that is the world stage, which is really neat. To play against some of those players out there — it really is just fun to be a part of."

Real Salt Lake head coach Jason Kreis praised his midfielder.

"I think that confident players can have an effect on all the players around them. People that are leaders, both in what they say and what they do, in the training session can have an effect on everyone around them," said Kreis. "Kyle is one of those type of guys."

Kreis said that an individual can send positive vibes throughout the team.

"I'm not necessarily convinced that it's just because he went on international duty, cause I think he brings it every single day. But I do think that one player can have an effect on multiple players, for sure," said Kreis.

With the World Cup Qualifying matches set to end on October 16th, one day before Real faces Seattle, it would be unwise to suggest that RSL will be at full strength with the absence of several key players. If things were able to come together, the combination of returning starters could possibly make for a great showdown at Century Link Field.

"All the guys that come back from international duty are a little bit sharper — quicker thought process mostly," said Beckerman. "It definitely is contagious with the rest of the team, and it usually helps us get a little sharper."

The Claret-and-Cobalt has a week to prepare for Seattle, and coach Kreis noted that staying focused will get the result.

"Everything has got to be focused on putting out our best possible performance, and our best possible effort and our best possible commitment," said Kreis. "We do that, and we don't typically have to worry about much else."

Utah basketball: Utes set for long trip to Oregon

Published: Monday, Feb. 4 2013 6:45 p.m. MST

SALT LAKE CITY — Unlike their last road trip, the Utah Utes aren’t coming home between games Wednesday (Oregon State) and Saturday (Oregon).

Although Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak admits it’ll be a bit of a challenge, he also sees some benefit to it.

“As long as we have the academic side of things squared away, which we do, I think our team is actually kind of in need of getting out together for four to five days and spending time in a hotel,” said Krystkowiak, who noted that the Utes have been focused and dialed in on the road. “The timing might be pretty good for us to get out and do that again.”

It sort of worked last week. The Utes spent Friday night in the University Park Marriott, gathering for a meal and watching film. They went on to defeat Colorado 58-55 in the Huntsman Center the following day.

Utah will leave for Oregon on Tuesday and return home on Sunday. To assist with the excessive absence from school, a full-time tutor from the academic office is accompanying the team to Corvallis and Eugene.

When the Utes had a similar schedule in Washington last month, they opted to charter in and out of Pullman before flying from Utah to Seattle later in the week.

Krystkowiak said they probably could have tried the same scenario this week, but the trip was booked in advance. Besides, he explained, neither of the Oregon games are as challenging to get to as Washington State.

POSITION BATTLE: Krystkowiak said he’d like to see Justin Seymour (4 ppg) or Dakarai Tucker (2.3 ppg) step up and win the backup role behind Cedric Martin out on the wing.

“Right now, as a staff, we’re just kind of waiting for one of those guys to really separate himself,” Krystkowiak said. “I hope that can take place in the next couple of days before we take off for Corvallis.”

BACHYNSKI’S RETURN: After missing the Stanford game, sophomore center Dallin Bachynski returned to action in the win over Colorado — grabbing three rebounds with a block and a steal in 10 minutes.

“I thought it was good. Dallin practiced with us Thursday and Friday and is very much back with us,” Krystkowiak said. “(He) had a good week, I think, of some soul searching.”

Krystkowiak added that Bachynski was able to sort out some things on a personal basis and realize the support he has from everyone in the program.

“That was pretty uplifting, I think, for him to know that those guys were rallying around him,” Krystkowiak said. “We need his energy; we need his size. He’s as athletic as anybody on our team. Now that he’s gotten some things straightened out off the court, I think his better days are ahead with half our league still ahead of us.”

MESSAGE RECEIVED: Krystkowiak acknowledged that he overheard a fan screaming some advice to him about freshman big man Jeremy Olsen late in Saturday’s victory over Colorado.

“Krystkowiak get Jeremy back in the game,” he recalled.

Olsen scored 12 points in 14 minutes off the bench.

“I wasn’t smart enough to listen to that,” Krystkowiak joked. “But he played really well,

As such, Krystkowiak said that Olsen is going to earn more minutes, adding that “he already has.”

John Florez: Students and teachers are collateral damage

Published: Saturday, April 26 2014 12:00 a.m. MDT

Enlarge photo»

Teachers are collateral damage of each Utah legislative session. They suffer in trying to follow the 60-plus laws lawmakers usually pass each year; and the end losers — the students.

Lawmakers (the same lawmakers that rail against big government, waste and regulations) don’t seem to care that with each law passed they bloat education even more. Each law requires staff to write regulations and policies, publish them, and monitor them for compliance. Then staff is needed to service the “data warehouse” where extensive data is kept in case someone complains so they can show how administrators “followed regulations.” Then all educators have to gear up for next year’s wave of laws, even though they haven’t finished with the last ones. It’s a full-employment program lawmakers have created.

The most serious result of their lawmaking is the collateral damage they cause; teachers who must follow the laws or be in violation for not following them. Nine years ago I wrote about the “Utah Educator Supply and Demand Study, 2004” commissioned by the Utah State Office of Education and Higher Education. It found that 40 percent of new teachers leave the profession after five years. I wrote, “I suspect teachers on exit interviews give courtesy answers similar to what politicians say when they leave — to spend more time with their family. … The truth is that many are leaving because of the oppressive and stressful working conditions now prevalent in today's schools.” That was according to my talking with front-line teachers.

The article received many responses from teachers and administrators agreeing with the observations. Here is a sample: “… A student teacher from our school quit last year at Christmas. Why? The students wouldn't work, when she phoned the parents, they swore at her and the principal didn't do an awful lot to back her up. She was the top of the pack as far as student teachers go, so when we had an opening this year we phoned to see if she wouldn't try again at our school. The reply, "Thank you, if I ever came back it would be there, but never. I have a job now with great opportunities to grow and a great working environment."

A third-grade teacher wrote, “This is my 30th year and I have discouraged four of my nieces and nephews from taking up the career. … What a shame when there is so much possible with all these young minds. Thank you for seeing the truth!” Another said, “During my career I have seen education deteriorate as far as being a desirable career. Teachers are no longer supported in the classroom by the parents, administrators and the legislature ….”

Today, not much seems to have changed, except the teaching environment seems more oppressive. Now, about one-third of new teachers are leaving after five years. The teaching profession is a science and an art, and should be treated as such. Individuals enter the profession because of their passion for teaching others. However, because of overwhelming regulations, teachers find they are not able to practice their profession with the passion and creativity needed to challenge and motivate students to become constant learners — and it’s the students that lose.

Our lawmakers should apply the same standard as they do with the business environment — deregulate. All business people ask for is a stable regulatory environment that they can depend upon. Teachers and students should expect no less.

Brigham Young Cougars linebacker Kyle Van Noy (3) entourages the crowd during play as BYU and Texas play Saturday, Sept. 7, 2013 at LaVell Edwards stadium.

Scott G Winterton, Deseret News

PROVO — Former BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy is on the verge of realizing a childhood dream.

Van Noy is expected to be picked in the early rounds of the National Football League draft, which begins Thursday (6 p.m. MDT, ESPN/NFL Network).

But that’s not the only big event in his life that's rapidly approaching.

And he’s glad to know that he won’t be embarking on this next adventure alone.

Van Noy and Marissa Powell, the 2013 Miss Utah USA, are planning to get married in June.

“I’m looking forward to that,” Van Noy said this week. “Marrying my best friend is going to be a good experience. I’m happy that she said yes. She still loves me, so we’re doing good.”

Van Noy met Powell 3 1/2 years ago through mutual friends at a little party that Van Noy helped host.

“Nothing too crazy,” she remembered.

At the time, they were young college students.

“It’s kind of cool because I met Kyle before all the crazy stardom with his football stuff and we met before all the pageant stuff was going on,” Powell said. “We’ve been able to grow with each other and we’ve known each other for so long that it’s nice to have someone to have your back and has known you all along that can speak up for you and remember who you are. It’s definitely been a learning process for us, learning about each other and learning about ourselves and what we want.”

Fittingly, Van Noy and Powell got engaged in late November after the Cougars’ regular-season finale in Van Noy’s hometown of Reno, Nevada.

Since completing his Cougar career last December in the Fight Hunger Bowl, Van Noy has been busy preparing for the draft — working out, participating in the NFL combine, and visiting teams for pre-draft interviews.

Oh, and planning a wedding.

“It’s been a roller coaster. I’ve been everywhere. I’ve been a freak traveler. I’m in airports all of the time, traveling,” Van Noy said. “I’m trying to stay caught up with working out and doing a lot of media stuff. I’ve tried to balance everything and been busy. But it’s been really good, though. It’s been fun and it’s been new and exciting. Being back on the field and in a team setting is going to be nice.”

Van Noy has loved having his fiancee as a support system, and that will be even more important as he tries to maintain balance in his life as a professional athlete.

Powell is looking forward to supporting her husband-to-be.

“I’m actually really excited for him. I am glad that I’ve been around him through college and I know the time and effort he put into it,” she said. “I know that’s going to be magnified on the next level. I kind of know a little about what it takes. … As a teammate, he brings his teammates up. I’m sure I’ll learn a lot more once we get to the next level. I’m super proud of him and excited to support him through it.

“I’m excited to be there with him, going through everything together,” she continued. “The first part will be supporting him, listening to him, and knowing what I can do to help him at home with preparing meals for him, making sure he’s going to bed on time, and drinking a lot of water and keeping him healthy. Those are the little things I can take part in. I’m sure I’ll learn a lot more.”

During her reign as Miss Utah USA, Powell has been involved with several charitable organizations and causes, including Primary Children's Hospital, and she’s looking forward to continuing to give back in her role as the wife of a professional athlete.

Good points.

Media which caters to a conservative audience isn't concerned about actual facts, but more about conservative's perceptions and pleasing the base. There is little to no self-crticism. Case in point: the 2012 election where conservatives believed and were told Romney winning the election was all but assured.

Most all of the "surveys" (I use the term loosely)that we see regarding illegal immigration are what pollsters call, "push, pull" surveys. They are designed to arrive at a pre-determined conclusion by using wording to elicit a particular response......i.e. "Would you rather provide free education to an illegal alien, or have a root canal"?

The Pew survey that I saw didn't do that. It appeared to me to be one of the most unbiased surveys I've EVER seen regarding illegal immigration.

The author of the opinion piece extrapolated just one "fact" that he thinks will make us change our mind about requiring immigrants to obey the laws, and utilize the immigration system in place instead of continuing their lawlessness and blatant trespassing.

Layton, UT

There are a lot of reasonable solutions to immigration that don't require the dismantling of families that are already here contributing to our commmunities... unfortunately there are still too many who prefer to live in fear of their neighbors, rather than seeking solutions that will help them become equals and better contributors to our local communities.

I just love that "media which caters to a conservative audience . . . " comment. Kinda like saying "all the 4' 6" NBA players are taking over the league."

Not wanting to be insensitive, but also curious (perhaps a follow-up article after the marriage, down the road a bit) -- but not completely understanding her physical situation... Will they be able to have children? And if so, how they combine their abilities to make that work.

In any case, best of life to both of them... and congratulations on finding love, companionship and each other.

Here, UT

Both other comments referenced an issue I commented on earlier that was not printed.

If, as Utah contends, marriage is about procreation and only procreation, then, if this couple is incapable of having children due to their situation (it could be deadly for this woman to carry a child); then should Utah allow this marriage to take place?

Let it Go!

As someone with a disability similar to Whipple's, I find his story very inspiring. If I work hard enough, even with my physical limitations, I can accomplish anything.

What a beautiful story! Congratulations to this couple. I think they both have more strength and ability than they realize. They have really inspired me!

hey there, love the design and the bear and the arm kills it, but (this is just my point of view) too many colors, if you could use only one or two colours to complement the drawing. +1

super dig this one; but on the model it looks like the color splatter is cut off right below the neckline and its kind of distracting. Maybe move the design down a little bit?

Clean, sharp, defined celebration of the male body This study is a masterpiece in design-simplicity. The angular-muscular emphasis is entirely natural. Waiting for it to be reproduced at about 3x that size. July 24, 2014
this particular piece gives off a lot of positive energy with well defined male strength. The posture of the figure draws the eyes of the viewer up almost as if to look at that for which his arrow is aimed. The muscle definition of his body is well done and brings a sense of confidence to the viewer based on the action of the figure. The posture of the figure is very athletic and as stated in the brief brings forth a lot of positive energy. I am very pleased to have added this work to my collection. October 23, 2013

10 Reasons You Should Read the Book of Job

God is sovereign and he is good. These are the twin theological pillars of childlike faith. Bigger and smarter than we are, all that God does is aimed at our benefit in Christ. But as simple as it seems, this truth isn't always easy to embrace.

A few years ago John Piper led a regional conference on this topic. He taught through the Book of Job and began by noting why Job's story, in particular, is so important:

  1. Hundreds of you have suffered or are suffering and are looking for light in your darkness.
  2. Suffering is coming, for sure. Basic discipleship means tribulations.
  3. Persecution, disease, war, disability, disaster, freak accident, assault — all are alike in this: Satan aims to destroy your faith, but God aims to strengthen it.
  4. Natural disasters put [the subject of God's relationship to evil] in the news. Consider the tsunamis, hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes, and avalanches.
  5. God is rejected by many because of the suffering in the world.
  6. There are Christians who openly question the sovereignty of God over all suffering.
  7. God's wise, good, just, absolute sovereignty is pastorally precious beyond measure. Being able to say, "Satan meant it for evil, but God..." gives hope and strength. Nothing is wasted. Nothing surprises God.
  8. Suffering is appointed as one way the gospel is spread.
  9. The supreme value and glory and admirableness of Christ is shown most clearly when Christians treasure Christ more than they treasure what they're losing — health, wealth, family, or life.
  10. Job is the main book in the Bible dealing with suffering. It can help us in all these ways.

Ozone alert in effect Tuesday in metro KC

August 1, 2011

The prospect of unhealthy levels of smog Tuesday has prompted officials to issue an orange Ozone Alert for the entire metropolitan Kansas City area.

The alert was issued Monday by the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) Air Quality Program.

This alert indicates that an unhealthy level of ground-level ozone, also known as smog, is expected in the Kansas City region.

The two most important actions residents should take on Ozone Alert days are:

• Protect your health

Ozone pollution can cause a variety of problems in healthy adults, including chest pains, coughing, nausea, throat irritation and difficulty breathing. People who are sensitive to air pollution—children, seniors and people with breathing or heart problems—should limit their exposure to outdoor air between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Everyone should consider scheduling outdoor activities before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m.

• Reduce pollution

More than half of all emissions that lead to ozone pollution is caused by doing yard work, driving, grilling and other everyday activities. Residents can help reduce pollution by carpooling, taking the bus, postponing mowing and postponing refueling vehicles. On Ozone Alert days, fares for regular bus routes are only 75 cents.

Emissions from vehicles, lawn and garden equipment and other sources react in heat and sunlight to form ozone pollution. Other environmental factors—such as warm, sunny weather, low wind speeds and lack of rain—increase the likelihood of poor air quality.

Some amount of ozone pollution is common during typical summers in Greater Kansas City, but high concentrations of ground-level ozone result in violations of the national air quality standards set by the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

Web Extra: Charging Batteries
This sidebar on charging batteries was written to accompany the feature story, "Unbaffling the Battery" in the May 2001 issue of Field Force Automation Magazine.
Posted Apr 4, 2001
Page 1

Li-ion batteries act like capacitors, says David Heacock, Texas Instruments, so it doesn't really matter what state they're in when a user decides to charge them. "The only thing that will vary is the amount of time it takes for the battery to get charged. The last 30 to 40 percent takes a while, but there's no compelling reason to discharge them before juicing them back up again."

Vin D'Agostino, principal, BNS Solutions, compares this charging action to having two jars, one empty and one full, with a tube connecting the two. The empty jar will start filling quickly because of the amount of pressure. Then the rate slows considerably until the flow is next to nothing.

It's a different story for Ni-MH and Ni-Cd chemistries, however. Heacock says that users of these batteries should use or discharge all the power from a battery before recharging it. "Discharging all the cells keeps them in better working condition." Battery packs are made up of a number of cells, and over time, the cells that haven't been fully used develop a film on their internal plates, cauing a loss in discharge voltage. This is often referred to as the "voltage depression effect."

When charge flow falls below a certain threshold for Li-ion, the charger decides that the battery is full and reaches charge termination. For Ni-MH chemistries, temperature is measured; a drastic increase in temperature signals that the battery is charged.
For Ni-Cd batteries, the finesse of measuring temperature is more expensive than is logical to pay for this older chemistry. Rather, when the terminal voltage of this type of cell starts to droop, then falls, it's fully charged. A sudden increase or decrease in ambient temperature will affect the charger's ability to read the level of charge. More sophisticated systems check for the ambient temperatures surrounding the batteries, but these systems are reserved for batteries in devices such as LVA (left ventricular assist) pumps and are too expensive for the tools of mobile workers.

The Minimum Wage Hike Means Different Things for Small Business

The new year saw 13 states increasing their minimum wage levels and more changes are expected as President Obama supports a federal raise to $10.10 per hour. In the midst of these changes, four small business owners talked to CNN, presenting very different perspectives on the increases and how they affect their businesses.

Improved Community Health

Golden Chiropractic and Wellness Center of Bradenton, Florida, provides primary and chiropractic care to a lower income community, with most patients earning minimum wage. At least half of her patients are unable to pay for their visits, according to Dr. Fay Golden.

“A minimum wage increase would mean that those patients who I currently see for free would be able to contribute in some way to the cost of their care,” says Dr. Golden, who is sometimes paid in “fresh fruit” or “a pot of soup.” What will a minimum rate hike mean for her? More patients would be able to pay for their medical care and more new patients would likely come in, she says. What’s more, people would be able to afford healthier food. “While that may not make me money, an overall healthier community is good for the economy,” she points out.

Dr. Golden says the proposed federal hike would not change her costs as she pays more than the recommended minimum wage to her one employee.

High School-Age Workers Would be the First to Be Released

Patricia Orzano, who owns a Long-Island 7-Eleven, says her high school workers will be the first to go following the New York State minimum wage increase to $8.00 from $7.25 on January 1st. The increase is expected to reach $9.00 by 2016; higher should a proposal to raise the rate to $10.10 pass.

“What really scares me is the federal raise. It’s so totally unaffordable,” says Orzano. “It will require me to cut hours across the board or cut part-timers.” Orzano also says she will not hire untrained staff if she has to pay $9 per hour, as that is what she pays her more experienced, full-time staff today.

Small Business Tied to Fixed Pricing Are Unable to Absorb Increased Rate

Vince Gildner, director of a physical therapy center in the state of Washington, is unable to increase his prices to absorb another minimum wage increase. In his state, the minimum wage is $9.32, the highest state-set rate in the country; Governor Jay Inslee is seeking another hike.

Gildner, a preferred healthcare provider, operates under insurer contracts in which the insurer sets the price. “My reimbursement is a fixed rate, and I can’t do anything to change that,” Gildner says. He fears he may be forced to cut his 20-person payroll or find other ways to cut expenses.

Increased Minimum Wage is Better for the Economy, All Businesses

ProPose CEO, Anne Staines, pays her five employees more than the state minimum of $8 an hour at her California-based marketing firm. She says she does not want her staff worried about having to work two jobs or being unable to support their families. “I’m confident that if they’re happy in these jobs and successful, I’ll be successful,” Staines explains.

Not every business owner is singularly focused on profits, she says. As for Staines, it is her staff’s happiness and well being that is her priority. Besides, she says, the federal minimum wage increase will benefit the economy. “The growing disparity of incomes only hurts our economy and commerce,” she notes.

Pure Imagination: The Making of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
(L.A. Weekly Books, 144 pages, $29.95)
By Mel Stuart and Josh Young

Upon the King! Let us our lives, Our souls, our debts, our careful wives, Our children, and our sins lay on the King.

The quote from Shakespeare's Henry V sums up Mel Stuart's "interpretation of a director's responsibility ... if anything goes wrong in a movie, there is only one man who takes the ultimate blame ... it's a fair bargain, because as a director you are able to fulfill your vision and create this two-hour world as you see it."

Thirty-two years after Stuart's vision of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) was released, the film continues to grow in popularity through television, videos, DVDs and websites. Stuart writes that though he has been a filmmaker for more than 40 years, Wonka "is the one work that has reached out to and been embraced by an enormous audience."

Unlike most "making of" film books, Pure Imagination is straight from the maker's mouth, offering the intimacy of a director's own viewpoint. It's an excellent model for such books, striking a pleasant balance between the details of filmmaking processes described in orderly chapters — "Page to Screen," "Casting," "Shooting the Movie," etc. — and the exuberance of a family scrapbook.

And family is where it all began. In the fall of 1969, Stuart's then 12-year-old daughter, Madeleine, who had read Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory three times, asked Daddy to make the book into a movie. And to have "Uncle" Dave sell it — meaning Stuart's close friend, producer David L. Wolper, with whom Stuart began his directing career.

The novel presents "the world of the impoverished, good-hearted Charlie Bucket" and his hungry family. Near their home looms Willy Wonka's mysterious chocolate factory, wafting its "heavenly fumes" Charlie's way. When the secretive Wonka announces that he has wrapped five Golden Tickets inside his candy bars, granting their lucky finders a tour of his factory, a world-wide stampede for the tickets is on.

Charlie gets to go but the other four young "winners" are gluttonous, spoiled, self-absorbed and TV-obsessed. It was "a perfect alignment of four deadly childhood sins — that result in macabre consequences — for movie audiences to enjoy." As Wonka, with his offbeat ways of dressing, moving and speaking, takes the kids for a boat ride on his chocolate river or lets them sample his "lickable wallpaper," we definitely know we're not in Kansas anymore.

At first the idea of Stuart, the realistic documentarian, filming such a surreal story did not seem like "a natural match ... " However, he was "fascinated by the bizarre and amusing way a simple moral thesis was set forth — virtue was rewarded and nastiness punished."

Pure Imagination chronicles Stuart's determination to deliver "an adult film that can also be enjoyed by children." We see how Wonka operates on many levels: it's full of literary allusions — a pleasure to see some listed here — and offers an entertaining lesson because its "punishments" are self-generated. Its "evil spirits are not goblins or wizards, but the character flaws in the participants themselves."

Stuart rejected the use of animation and says that even if computer-generated effects had been available to him in 1970, he wouldn't have wanted them. A "sensitivity to racial issues" resulted in turning the Oompa-Loompas — the candy-making elves that were originally black — into orange-faced, green-haired fellows. The title was changed because "'Charlie' was a black expression that was a pejorative term for a white overseer." Since Stuart felt that "the dramatic essence of the movie revolved around Willy Wonka ... Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory would be all to the good." (With Gene Wilder's brilliant, quirky star turn as Wonka, could it be otherwise?)

There are more than 100 photographs, mostly color, mostly never before seen, original set design sketches and delightful trivia. While its pages aren't "lickable," Pure Imagination is your Golden Ticket to increase appreciation for a delicious film.."

    Comments about X3 All Terrain Double Stroller - Autumn Orange:

    Happy with this stroller. Generally we use it for walks in the area and to day care.Its easy to push around even though the front wheel is fixed and handles curbs and bumpy terrain quite easily.We took to it up to Quebec for the holidays and loved pushing it around in the villiage with the twins.The color is great and vibrant but has faded a little which looks kind of cool.I do wish the stroller had a tray. I contacted tike tech and they said there was a tray comingout this spring which I will purchase then. Real good stroller at a good price.

Re: SEVERELY chapped lips. What to do?

I have had chapped, peeling lips most of my life.

I find if they get bad, using a mixture of A&D ointment and triple antibiotic ointment works wonders.

The rest of the time I use A&D ointment.

We use the combo on our patients all the time to help with dryness and scabbing.

President Nancy Roseman delivers her 2013 convocation address.

The Convocation Address
Delivered by President Nancy A. Roseman
August 25, 2013

Welcome, everyone, to the official opening of the 231st academic year for Dickinson College. I know we have students, faculty, staff, alumni, trustees, family and friends here today. You honor us, and the college, by your presence.

However, today, our attention is properly focused on our students. First, I want to welcome our seniors back to campus, many returning to us after studying abroad. I know you return to us a very different version of yourself as a result of your time away. I will be looking to you seniors for help and guidance as I get to know Dickinson this year. You can help me by sharing your thoughts about Dickinson because I very much want to see this place through your eyes, through your experience. I have already met a number of you, and I so appreciate the warm welcome I’ve received—thank you for that. In fact, I’ve shared a few custards with some of you at Massey’s, a new Dickinson tradition I hope we continue into the future! I have to say you are an impressive bunch and I will be proud to share my first Dickinson graduation with the class of 2014 nine months from now when we meet again, right here, on a beautiful day just like today.

A warm welcome to our transfer and community college students. We are very happy to have you join our community, and we’re glad that you decided that this is where you want to complete your education. In my travels to visit our alumni I have already met a few of your predecessors; proud Dickinsonians who tell me that coming here mid-stream was the best decision they had ever made. Welcome.

Finally, the class of 2017. You are my first class in that you and I, we are starting this journey together. We are both new, doing something we have never done before, and I sincerely hope you are as excited and ready to get to work as I am. However, I want you to know how deeply envious I am of you as you sit here at this point in your life. I want you to know how incredibly fortunate you are and the enormous opportunity that awaits you.

The thing that I want all students here to appreciate, and to take some time to think about, is that Dickinson, as an institution, a college, exists for you. That is its purpose. It doesn’t exist to turn a profit, it doesn’t exist to manufacture a product you can hold in your hand, it exists for people, for students, for every single one of you. It exists to educate you, to embrace you, to challenge you, to place high expectations on you, to support you, to confuse you, and to ultimately transform you through the power of ideas and to provide you with the tools to intelligently wield those ideas.

Everything around you, every piece of the college, comes together each and every day, and works on your behalf.  After all, this is not a Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 enterprise, it operates every hour of every day. From your very first moments on campus, you all get a taste of this joint effort during move-in day. Each day, the perpetually cheerful dining services staff feeds over 2,000 people at each meal, the house keeping staff keeps the miles of buildings clean, the grounds crew keeps this gorgeous campus, well, absolutely gorgeous and in some sections, actually edible. Public safety officers look out for you, admissions officers counseled and admitted you, the student development staff is going to be there for you, and maybe has already been a help to you during your short time here. I think you get the point. There are literally hundreds of people working on your behalf, many behind the scenes.

Then, decidedly in front of the scene, are our talented faculty. Scholars, educators, innovators—dedicated to teaching and constantly assessing how and what they teach in order to improve it, for you. This isn’t a static curriculum, it is organic and current, and interlocking in ways that are wonderful and challenging and unsettling and is wholly designed and constructed for you. Here is a body of incredibly talented people with outstanding credentials and accomplishments who are here for you. To teach you. Study abroad with you. Do research with you. Publish an article, wade a stream collecting samples, curate a show, take a hike, analyze a novel, build a database, write a short story, discuss politics, paintings, economics, sustainability, the irrationality of penalty kicks to end a tied soccer game, globalization, your favorite author, team, philosopher, airport…with you. And, because this is Dickinson, they may do these things in a foreign language, with you.

Why? Because, remember as I told you on your first day, you are the fun part. You inspire us to be our best selves while we work to transform you into your best selves.

As you can see, we put a lot into you. But for that investment on our part to work out as it should, you have to do your part. Ultimately, this is a call for you to participate fully in this college that is devoted to you, and for you to be devoted fully to Dickinson. That devotion takes many forms. It means being a good student. It means being a good citizen, here, within this community, and without in the larger world. It means, as the years stretch behind you and you find yourself reflecting on how well Dickinson prepared you for life’s journey, you act as a loyal and engaged alumnus, and give back to the college so that future generations of Dickinsonians can follow your path, as others have done for you. Never forget that you stand on the shoulders and generosity of the Dickinsonians who came before you, and invested in you. Ultimately, that investment is an investment in the future of society.

Our alumni invest in us because they believe, as many of us do, that Dickinson’s approach to a liberal-arts education makes it uniquely well positioned for an increasingly complex and interdependent world. By making the campus into a living laboratory, the region into a living laboratory, and the world into a living laboratory, students are provided the opportunity to live and learn and engage across the spectrum of intellectual disciplines.

Our curriculum is purposefully constructed to cause you to see across disciplines, make connections, and to consider multiple points of view.

This kind of engagement builds a broadly educated, capable and confident global citizen. A 21st-century version of the Dickinson graduate that our founder, Benjamin Rush, had in mind. A 21st-century version of usefulness. Citizens of tomorrow need the intellectual flexibility, cultural fluency and critical reasoning skills that Dickinson cultivates in order to negotiate a world full of uncertainty and rapid change. They need to have the tools to be able to mine the truth from the masses of information being thrown at them.

In addition, to properly prepare you for life in a global society, we build a class as diverse as possible so that it best represents the world our graduates will eventually enter. We bring the world to Dickinson and send Dickinsonians out into the world.

You are not here in order to walk these steps in 2017 as simply an older version of this same self. You are here to be transformed, to build a base that will sustain and nourish and inspire and give you strength and confidence for whatever life brings.

Here, you will develop relationships with people who will be your friends for the rest of your life, but also a relationship with an institution, Dickinson, that will become part of you and will stand with you as your journey unfolds.

During your four years here, I can guarantee there will be events that sweep this campus and sweep the world.  There will be a U.S. presidential election, with all that that brings with it. There will be wars, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and economic news, good and bad. There will be fantastic discoveries and medical breakthroughs, at least four more versions of the iPhone, great works of art and music, and transcendent moments of joy. You, each of you, will have tremendous successes, and each of you will have tremendous failures. Through it all, always remember, you are now part of a larger family of Dickinsonians. We are here, for you, that is our purpose, that is our mission. That is why you came here, to Dickinson College.

Thank you.

Heart Rate Monitor Problem Solving

Heart Rate Monitor Problem Solving

Here are some basic quick tips to solve common heart rate monitor problems, however always check the user manual for specific instructions on your make and model.

No signal from Chest Belt to Watch:

  • Wet the underneath of the chest strap with a few drops of water to ensure solid contact.
  • The belt should fit snugly to your body with the transmitter in a central position under your pectoral muscles.
  • Avoid placing the transmitter in areas of dense chest hair.
  • In cold or dry weather it may take a few minutes for the transmitter to maintain a steady signal, this is normal and effects all heart rate monitors’ signals.
  • If you are in an area with a lot of overhead lighting, computers, etc… there can be too much “environmental" noise (too many electrical signals) for the heart rate monitor watch to receive a clear signal. This has become much less of a problem now due to new technology, however, should you get this problem, try to move to a less dense electrical area. For example, use a bike at the end of a row in the gym, rather than in the centre.*
  • Shorten the distance between the transmitter and the heart rate monitor watch. If you have attached your watch to a piece of equipment rather than to your wrist, you may be too far away for a good signal.
  • Check the battery in both the transmitter belt and the heart rate monitor watch.
  • Some heart rate monitors have a signal search function if you are having trouble obtaining a signal. It is also a good idea to do a signal search if you haven’t used your heart rate monitor for a while.

Getting someone else’s signal:

  • Reset the transmitter (usually there is a button on the transmitter belt to do this).
  • Force a signal search.
  • Take the chest belt off. If the heart rate monitor watch has different users, this should automatically change the user ID when you put it back on and a new signal is received.

Gym equipment not working with transmitter belt:

  • Most transmitter belts are defaulted to digital transmission, and most gym equipment is analogue compatible, so you may need to change the transmission from your belt. Check your user manual for details.

* Note: You should not wear your heart rate monitor in aircrafts or hospitals as the radio frequency may effect other electronic devices.

Best Diet Pills

Appetite Suppressants

While you are likely aware that diet pills exist for weight loss, have you ever stopped to consider how these pills actually help people lose those excess pounds? The reality is that weight reduction aids are designed to reduce fat through certain means such as by increasing metabolism to burn fat, blocking carbohydrates or fat from being absorbed by the body, or by suppressing the appetite to name a few. That said, of all the different weight control diet drugs available, appetite suppressants are one of the most popular and effective.

What exactly are appetite suppressants? Also known as anorectics or anorexigenics, it is a substance (either natural or chemical) that decreases hunger cravings and reduces a person’s desire to consume food. Basically, these supplements or drugs trick the part of the brain known as the hypothalamus into thinking the body’s food needs are satisfied.

More specifically, these weight management pills may lower the levels of some of the brain’s neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and serotonine, as well as lowers endocannabinoids, a system in the brain that contains fats and their receptors which affect many physiological processes like appetite. Also, some suppressant formulas are designed to provide a feeling of fullness or mirror the effect blood sugar has on the brain.

How does it help with weight loss? In essence, appetite suppressants help a person to eat less and avoid overeating, which reduces their overall calorie and fat intake. Therefore, it provides them with better control over when and what they eat, so they can establish and follow a diet plan with greater success.

What are the drawbacks related to appetite suppressants? Many products that act as hunger suppressors contain stimulants like caffeine that boost energy to increase metabolism, which may not be beneficial for some people. What’s more, some of the best appetite suppressants on the market contain powerful ingredients that are effective but may not be suitable for people with certain health conditions, may cause side effects that can be quite serious, or even interfere with other medications. In addition, since these oral tablets stop a person from feeling hungry, sometimes those who take them need to remember to eat even when they don’t feel like it.

What are some of the best appetite suppressants available? Though there are many products available, one of the top prescription drugs is Phentermine, and the top-rated non-prescription option is Phentramin-d.

Are appetite suppressants a good choice for you? If you are overweight or obese and conventional weight loss methods (i.e eating a well balanced healthy diet combined with regular exercise) do not seem to be enough, these drugs may be useful in helping you reach your goals quicker. However, this is something that you should discuss with your doctor before you take any type of diet pill.
