CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Police say U.S. Sen. Rand Paul's son was arrested after a flight from Kentucky to North Carolina.
The Charlotte Observer reports 19-year-old William Hilton Paul was arrested Saturday morning at Charlotte Douglas International Airport and charged with alcohol-related offenses.
The newspaper quotes Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Lt. Blake Hollar as saying it's possible Paul was served alcohol on the flight from Lexington, Ky., to Charlotte.
When the plane landed shortly before 11 a.m., the son of the Republican senator from Kentucky and grandson of former presidential candidate Ron Paul was charged with consuming beer/wine underage, disorderly conduct and being intoxicated and disruptive.
In a brief statement, Sen. Paul's office said "as many parents with teenagers would understand," the family requests their privacy be respected "in a situation such as this."

Their director says they'll get information from organizers about the theme, costume idea, choreography and music.

Watch out for moving scams and shady movers that don't have your best interest in mind.
Before you get a quote from a moving company for your upcoming move, one highly rated provider shares five expenses you may not have considered.
Here's what you should consider when evaluating various moving insurance policy options available to protect your belongings.
Angie's Answers
Generally, our movers are tipped and the prospect of a tip I believe keeps them moving with "a sense of urgency".
If you feel that the movers are already getting paid, and they are... you don't have to tip. Some people that receive a service like to recognize service that is above normal with a tip.
Either way we hope your move went well.

If you desire to attempt to save Dollars, offer the buyer a Discount , a % OFF the settling price to accomodate New carpet installation . Typically the carpet is replaced and floors REfinished , to present the house you are selling at the best possible appearance , not showing the wear of your stay there.
Think about IT , which house would you rather BUY ?
A home with New Flooring , or one where you see every scratche and stain left by the former Owners ?
Discount the sell price ,DO NOT Refinish the Floors at all and Sell AS IS , or refinish and install NEW CHEAP CARPET !
Moving reviews in Eau Claire
The day was extremely hectic and Statewide Moving made it 100 times worse. I had my property stored overnight with the expectation the trucks be at the new place the next morning....they didn't show up until the afternoon. The movers, themselves, were descent and nothing was broke or missing. Oh, and additional fees were required due to their failure and I got hounded until I paid.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this company. Moving day is hard enough...save yourself the aggravation and hire someone else.
We put our trust in could not have asked for a better experience. If you are looking for first class service, is the company to choose
After the move was completed, and I discovered the damaged items, I called the owner to let him know. I never got a call back.
I definitely would not utilize their services in the future. Some of the guys were very nice and respectful. But enough of them had their hands out, that I felt taken advantage of. Then, on top of that to have damaged goods, and no call back from the owner one would be foolish to use these movers just because their price is reasonable.

Hyperoxaluria occurs when you have too much oxalate in your urine. Oxalate is a natural chemical in your body, and it's also found in certain types of food. But too much oxalate in your urine can cause serious problems.
Hyperoxaluria can be caused by inherited (genetic) disorders, an intestinal disease or eating too many oxalate-rich foods. Quick diagnosis and treatment of hyperoxaluria is important to the long-term health of your kidneys.
Oxalosis happens after the kidneys fail in people who have primary and intestinal causes of hyperoxaluria, and excess oxalate builds up in the blood. This can lead to oxalate deposits in blood vessels, bones and body organs.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., ranks No. 1 for kidney disorders in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., ranks among the Best Hospitals for kidney disorders by U.S. News & World Report. Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., is ranked high performing for kidney disorders by U.S. News & World Report.
There are several types of hyperoxaluria:
Primary hyperoxaluria. Primary hyperoxaluria is a rare inherited (genetic) condition present at birth. In this type, the liver doesn't create enough of a certain protein (enzyme) that prevents overproduction of oxalate, or the enzyme doesn't work properly. Excess oxalate is eliminated through your kidneys, in your urine. The extra oxalate can combine with calcium to create kidney stones and crystals, which can damage the kidneys and cause them to stop working (renal failure).
Kidney stones form early and most often cause symptoms during childhood or adolescence. Because of the very large amounts of oxalate produced, most people's kidneys fail by early to middle adulthood, but renal failure can occur as early as infancy. To date, experts have identified three different genetic causes of primary hyperoxaluria.

See information on patient services at the three Mayo Clinic locations, including transportation options and lodging.
Your doctor will conduct a thorough physical exam, including a medical history and discussion of your diet. Tests to diagnose hyperoxaluria may include those below.
If these tests indicate that you may have primary hyperoxaluria, you'll likely need more tests to confirm the diagnosis and see how the disease has affected other parts of your body. These tests may include:
If primary hyperoxaluria is suspected or confirmed, your siblings are at risk of the disease and should be tested as well. If your child has primary hyperoxaluria, you may want to consider genetic testing if you plan to have more biological children. Medical genetics counselors experienced in hyperoxaluria can help guide your decisions and testing.
Typically, the first sign of hyperoxaluria is a kidney stone. Symptoms of a kidney stone can include:
Kidney stones in childhood are uncommon. Kidney stones that form in children and teenagers are likely to be caused by an underlying condition, such as hyperoxaluria. For this reason, all young people with kidney stones should have a thorough evaluation, including measurement of oxalate in the urine. Adults with recurrent kidney stones also should be evaluated for oxalate in the urine.
Untreated primary hyperoxaluria can eventually damage your kidneys. Over time your kidneys may stop working. For some people, this is the first sign of the disease. Signs and symptoms of kidney failure include:
Oxalosis in its late stages can cause a variety of complications outside the kidney, including bone disease, anemia, skin ulcers, heart and eye problems, and in children, a failure to develop and grow normally.
Treatment will depend on the type, symptoms and severity of hyperoxaluria and how well you respond to treatment.
To reduce the amount of calcium oxalate crystal formation in your kidneys, your Mayo Clinic medical team may recommend one or more of these treatments:
Kidney stones are common in people with hyperoxaluria, but they don't always need to be treated. If large kidney stones are causing pain or blocking urine flow, you may need to have them removed or broken up so they can pass in the urine. Mayo Clinic is experienced in kidney stone treatment and removal and offers several minimally invasive procedures.
Depending on the severity of your hyperoxaluria, you may eventually lose kidney function. Kidney dialysis may help temporarily, but it doesn't keep up with the amount of oxalate produced. A kidney transplant or kidney and liver transplant can cure certain inherited types of hyperoxaluria (primary hyperoxaluria). Mayo Clinic provides outstanding transplant teams, led by highly skilled surgeons and medical transplant teams experienced in the care of patients with primary hyperoxaluria.
Mayo Clinic is active in several areas of research on hyperoxaluria, coordinated through the Mayo Clinic Hyperoxaluria Center and the Rare Kidney Stone Consortium in Rochester, Minn. The center maintains an international registry of data on people with hyperoxaluria, compiles statistics on outcomes, and maintains a bank of urine, plasma, blood and liver samples for investigation and collaborative research.
The center offers people the opportunity to participate in clinical trials, testing new diagnosis and treatment approaches.
Ongoing research projects include:
See a list of publications by Mayo Clinic doctors on hyperoxaluria on PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine.

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel's prime minister says his new government is extending its hand in peace to the Palestinians.
Benjamin Netanyahu told Israel's parliament Monday that he hopes to rejuvenate peace efforts in his new term. Negotiations remained frozen during Netanyahu's previous four-year term.
Netanyahu told the chamber that Israel has proven "time and again" it is ready to make concessions in exchange for a "real peace."
He said that with goodwill from the Palestinians, Israel is "ready for a historic concession that will end the conflict with the Palestinians once and for all."
Netanyahu gave no indication about what concessions he might make in his new term.
His new Cabinet, set to be sworn in later Monday, consists of both moderates and hard-liners toward the Palestinians.

Shola Lynch, a documentary filmmaker who has garnered much critical acclaim for her incisive and salient films, is one director whose films are invaluable, particularly for people like me who didn't live through the turbulent times they speak of. Lynch is interested in participatory democracy and how people, especially people who have been historically denied a voice (and a vote), forge new ways and means of being heard. As the director of Chisholm '72 and Free Angela and All Political Prisoners, Lynch shares with audiences the stories of the titular African American women, both activists and leaders in political and social justice movements in the late 1960s to 70s.
Shirley Chisholm was our nation's first Black congresswoman, and her gutsy run for president several years later was another first in U.S. History; she was working under the belief that people would vote with their conscience, rather than cynically voting for "the man most likely…" Lynch portrays the complicated political forces involved that make for a gripping story.
Dr. Angela Davis sought social justice, not by running for elected office (that would transpire years later) but initially by teaching and working directly with local activists. The events that transpire thereafter are so incredible and outrageous that I cannot retell them with any justice here - Lynch has already done that.

- "I could tell you about Ser Duncan the Tall."
- ―Old Nan to Bran Stark
Duncan the Tall is an unseen character in Game of Thrones. He is long deceased when the events of the series begin. Duncan the Tall is a legendary knight and the subject of several popular songs and stories.
Ser Duncan the Tall was a great knight in the history of Westeros, a famous warrior and a great friend to King Aegon V Targaryen. He lived roughly between 105 and 40 years before the events of the series, and was Lord Commander of the Kingsguard when Ser Barristan Selmy started his rise to prominence. He is immortalized in many songs and stories, such as those told by Old Nan to Bran Stark.
Season 1
Old Nan asks Bran Stark if he wants to hear a story and proposes one about Ser Duncan the Tall, saying those were always his favorites, but Bran wants a scary story.[1]
In the books
Ser Duncan the Tall and his unusual friendship with King Aegon V Targaryen are the subjects of a series of novellas written by George R.R. Martin, set roughly ninety years before the events of the main books. These stories are The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword, and The Mystery Knight, the first two of which have been reprinted as graphic novels. A fourth short story, The She-Wolves, was intended to be published in 2012, but was postponed until an unknown time.
In these stories, Duncan is revealed to be an orphan boy from the poor quarter of King's Landing, the area known as Flea Bottom. He attracted the attention of a hedge knight called Ser Arlan of Pennytree, and squired for the old man, accompanying him to many tournaments and on at least one major campaign, an incursion into the Red Mountains of Dorne led by House Dondarrion to root out a bandit king. Ser Arlen died on his way to a great tournament at Ashford. Taking up his sword, armor and horses, Dunk competed in the tourney as a knight and was joined by a young boy called 'Egg', who asked to become his squire, though Egg was later revealed to be the young Aegon Targaryen in disguise. A complex series of events followed which resulted in a 'trial of seven', two teams of seven knights fighting one another for honor and glory. Ser Duncan's team proved victorious, but Prince Baelor Targaryen, the heir apparent to the Iron Throne, was killed. In the aftermath of the combat, Prince Maekar, Aegon's father, agreed to let Egg squire for Dunk on the road.[2]
The pair had many famous adventures. This included a visit to Dorne, where they were nearly killed by the apparently insane Lady of Vaith, as well as resolving a decades-long dispute between the houses Osgrey and Webber in the Reach.[3] They also helped foil the Second Blackfyre Rebellion[4] before undertaking a lengthy journey north to visit Winterfell.[5] Many years later Egg ascended the Iron Throne as King Aegon V Targaryen. Ser Duncan the Tall became a member of the Kingsguard, and later its Lord Commander. Egg and Dunk faced their last adventure together at Summerhall, on the night of the great fire there.[6]
There is widespread speculation that Briene of Tarth and/or Hodor may be descendants of Ser Duncan. There are three pieces of evidence that Brienne might be Duncan's descendant. First, Martin actually said that a descendant of Duncan would appear in the fourth novel, but he never indicated who it was. Second, during the fourth novel, Brienne mentions in passing while selecting a new shield that she recalls an old shield from her youth which was present in her family's armory at Evenfall Hall, and the description she gives matches Ser Duncan's personal sigil (a green shooting star over a green elm tree, on a sunset-orange field). Third, though most general, is that "Ser Duncan the Tall" was famously a very tell man, nearly seven feet in height, and Brienne is unusually tall for a woman by Westerosi standards. There is also speculation that Hodor may be a descendant of Ser Duncan, as Hodor is also extremely tall, over seven feet in height, and the upcoming fourth prequel novella, The She-Wolves of Winterfell, reveals that Ser Duncan traveled to Winterfell. At one point Bran Stark has a greensight vision of the past, and sees a very large man "as tall as Hodor" in the Winterfell godswood, being kissed by a slender young woman - who might have been Old Nan.
Potential adaptation
On 10 February 2013, George R.R. Martin confirmed that he had been in discussion with HBO over a possible adaptation of the Dunk and Egg short stories, though in what format (TV movies, theatrical movie, or a spin-off TV series) was not made clear.[7]

(written from a Production point of view)
Digital Muse was a contracted computer-generated effects house responsible for creating the visual effects and computer animation used in a number of episodes for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. It was also contracted to do the special effects for the teaser trailer of Star Trek: Insurrection. John Gross served as president of the company.
Based in Santa Monica, California, the company was founded by Gross and John Parenteau in October 1995, after they had acquired the inventory of their former employer Amblin Imaging, which had closed its doors shortly before. The new company entered into a joint venture with VisionArt Design & Animation in order to serve their main client, Star Trek, more efficiently and operated both companies under the new name. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 6, p. 48) Digital Muse closed down in February 2000 after a decision to sell a portion of the company to an internet company in order to raise capital backfired, resulting in a hostile take-over of the company. Gross opted to start over, leaving the company to found Eden FX with Digital Magic's Mark Miller. Digital Muse shut down the following week. [1] [2] The company was working on the seventh season of Star Trek: Voyager at the time; fortunately, however, Paramount Pictures owned the computer models which Digital Muse created, so Gross and his staff were able to simply copy the models onto their server at Eden FX, allowing the studio to continue their work with the franchise. [3] Many of the employees at Digital Muse also quit Muse to join Eden FX.
In its short lifetime, Digital Muse also did effects work for such films as The Devil's Advocate, Spawn (both 1997), and Battlefield Earth (2000) as well as television shows such as Sliders and The X-Files.

|Export Control
|For more than twenty years, the federal government has regulated the export of certain technologies for protection of national security and trade. Export control laws are federal laws passed by Congress, signed by the President, and implemented by several federal agencies. In the post-September 11, 2001 world, our federal government also regards export controls as tools to guard against terrorism. Consequently, enforcement of the laws and regulations has become more vigorous for commercial as well as for academic institutions in the United States.
Universities and colleges are not exempt from these laws and regulations, and compliance is mandatory. Individuals who violate export control laws and regulations are subject to civil and criminal sanctions (including fines and/or prison sentences for individuals) and universities or research institutions are subject to administrative sanctions (monetary fines and loss of research funding and export privileges). Legislation signed into law in 2007 provides for criminal penalties for individuals up to $1 million and 20 years' imprisonment. All university faculty, administrators and staff must understand their obligations under the law and adhere to them.
It is the policy of Florida Atlantic University to pursue its mission in teaching, research and service in a manner that is consistent with the applicable export control laws and regulations while making every reasonable effort to maximize situations whereby the University may claim the benefit of exemptions, discussed below, to these regulations. The purpose of this memorandum and the Definitions/FAQ document is to help FAU faculty, administrators and staff begin to understand the basic requirements of export control laws and to help them determine whether their research and other activities may be subject to these restrictions.
In brief, export control laws and regulations restrict the export of certain items and information (in particular, that with military or dual military/commercial applications) or export to certain destinations (i.e., countries listed as restricted). It is important to note that export controls may apply to any field of science and engineering. In particular, research that involves individuals from abroad or travel to foreign countries is exposed to these restrictions. However, not all university research is constrained by export controls because of the existence of several important exclusions or exemptions:

- Title
- Data files used to study change dynamics in software systems
- Author(s)
- Vasa, Rajesh
- Abstract
- It is a widely accepted fact that evolving software systems change and grow. However, it is less well-understood how change is distributed over time, specifically in object oriented software systems. The patterns and techniques used to measure growth permit developers to identify specific releases where significant change took place as well as to inform them of the longer term trend in the distribution profile. This knowledge assists developers in recording systemic and substantial changes to a release, as well as to provide useful information as input into a potential release retrospective. However, these analysis methods can only be applied after a mature release of the code has been developed. But in order to manage the evolution of complex software systems effectively, it is important to identify change-prone classes as early as possible. Specifically, developers need to know where they can expect change, the likelihood of a change, and the magnitude of these modifications in order to take proactive steps and mitigate any potential risks arising from these changes. Previous research into change-prone classes has identified some common aspects, with different studies suggesting that complex and large classes tend to undergo more changes and classes that changed recently are likely to undergo modifications in the near future. Though the guidance provided is helpful, developers need more specific guidance in order for it to be applicable in practice. Furthermore, the information needs to be available at a level that can help in developing tools that highlight and monitor evolution prone parts of a system as well as support effort estimation activities. The specific research questions that we address in this chapter are: (1) What is the likelihood that a class will change from a given version to the next? (a) Does this probability change over time? (b) Is this likelihood project specific, or general? (2) How is modification frequency distributed for classes that change? (3) What is the distribution of the magnitude of change? Are most modifications minor adjustments, or substantive modifications? (4) Does structural complexity make a class susceptible to change? (5) Does popularity make a class more change-prone? We make recommendations that can help developers to proactively monitor and manage change. These are derived from a statistical analysis of change in approximately 55000 unique classes across all projects under investigation. The analysis methods that we applied took into consideration the highly skewed nature of the metric data distributions. The raw metric data (4 .txt files and 4 .log files in a .zip file measuring ~2MB in total) is provided as a comma separated values (CSV) file, and the first line of the CSV file contains the header. A detailed output of the statistical analysis undertaken is provided as log files generated directly from Stata (statistical analysis software).

I am making this thread separate from Mysteryman's original post about the public opinion as I feel that this proposal might turn into a troll fest and I am only giving my opinion about how I think Alteil should change it's economic system.
I have long believed that FM should have a greater buying power in the game. However, I also feel that people that purchase gran should have a much bigger advantage to the free players. A free player should be able to obtain every card in the game, but only if they are willing to spend a vast amount of time and effort in doing so. Gran buyers should be able to obtain cards quickly and without effort as they are paying for it. Based on this, I have made the following plan of action for Alteil's economics.
Have a FM converter in the game that converts 1 gran = 10 FM.
Since all players will receive all the starters at level 10, change the Starter lotto to 25 FM, as they have no recycle value this should be sufficient.
Change the recycle rates of all cards to FM equivalents. Example, 1*=50FM, 3*=300FM, 5*=3000FM.
Change the tutorial bonus for new players to FM. (3000FM)
Change starter achievement bonus that gives gran to FM (50FM)
Change Mirage Master Bonus to FM equivalents.
Remove weekly bonus for playing (10 gran +winsx2-losesx1) (Next suggestion will be reason for this)
Change reward for end of game to: Loss 10 FM, Win 20 FM, Draw 15 FM (Add clause of minimum of 5 turns for reward) This will promote players to play more to obtain cards, based on the current system it is more rewarding to play 1 game a week for players that lose a lot to get the weekly bonus and obtain more cards. This way, even if they are losing they are gaining FM to buy more cards making it possible to obtain more cards. Therefore, no need to have a weekly bonus to play as you get rewarded per game. The turn limit should reduce the amount of people trying to work the system to get more FM without really playing.
Change Lotto, Set Packs, Set Boxes, EX Lotto, Prebuilts, and Beginner's Pack to FM equivalent.
Make Gold packs, Gold boxes, EX Packs, Hyper Lotto permanent but only for Current Gran value. (if they want to buy regular packs, they can convert to FM)
Change reward for using public battles to increased Treasure Battle Rate instead of extra EXP and FM.
Make Theater a buyable shop item (Gran only) that starts with 1 video slot, but able to buy additional slots. (This will make it a permanent addition)
Change the duration of potions from number of battles to time frame. I personally feel that 1 day potions that will last for 24 hours would be a good option, plus 7 day potions that would be slightly cheaper than buying 7 single day potions. (These would make them more desirable and since potions increase EXP, Treasure Battles, and FM it helps a player all around) This would help low spenders if they want to just buy a potion that will boost all their stats and they play hard to get their money's worth.
Make Gran only avatar equipment that boost stats. (Increase FM rate, EXP Rate, Treasure Battle Rate, Lotto % increase, etc.) This would give a more RPG approach as your "equipment" helps you.
As shown above, this would be a major overhaul to the game, but would allow free players to obtain cards by playing more, which would improve the game in my opinion. This would also increase bonuses to paying players with massive boosts all around. Every MMO I have ever played usually has some type of system like this. Thank you for you time in reading this.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, Oct. 12, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The owner of a local business is upset with another company after reviewing her contract and books.
Debra Niederhofer is the owner of Venture Auto Sales in Augusta.
"When you're a small business owner, you watch everything, and I didn't," Niederhofer said.
The car lot owner signed a contract with Waste Management in 2008.
"I guess I should have read the contract a little more closely," Neiderhofer said.
The contract was a three-year deal in a locked in price of $55 month.
"When I got October bill, which was a week ago, I got really angry then when it went up to $80," she said.
She told Waste Management she no longer wanted their service since her bill went up. She believed her contract expired last year and that she was now under a month-to-month deal.
"I called Waste Management and said, 'OK, go ahead and come get your can, I'm done, it's over with,' and they said, 'No, it's not done, you have a contract,' and they proceeded to send me a copy of my contract," she said.
Neiderhofer says she missed reading a clause buried in the second page of her contact four years ago. The clause is an automatic renewal with Waste Management. Waste Management's new contracts now list the automatic renewal more clearly right above where you sign.
"Frustrated. Very frustrated," Niederhofer admitted.
She now wants out of her renewed contract but it comes at a price. She's got to pay three months penalty to get out.
"The way the economy is every penny is important," she said.
Waste Management would not comment on the details of the billing except to say:
"We are sorry about the inconvenience this situation has caused Ms. Niederhofer, and we are diligently working with her to resolve the issue. Our priority at Waste Management is to provide all our customers with the most comprehensive and reliable service at the most economical price."

Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin, sharing common values of integrity, the pursuit of excellence and a great spirit of innovation, have come together to renew the historical ties that were first created in the 1920s.
At that time, Edmond Jaeger was creating an illustrious name for the company in the area of precision instruments in the automotive field. World War I seriously impeded watch production and made diversification a necessity. LeCoultre & Cie (in cooperation with Edmond Jaeger) naturally turned towards mastering other technical fields and explored new inventive horizons. In 1920, LeCoultre and Jaeger exported over 20,000 counters to the United Kingdom. In 1921, Jacques-David LeCoultre and his Parisian partners at Jaeger founded a small workshop in London, Ed Jaeger London Ltd, which, by 1925, specialised in automotive dashboard instruments. In the ensuing period, Jaeger became the prevalent supplier to the most prestigious car companies, including virtually all racing cars as 95% of car races were won by cars equipped with Jaeger counters.
The success of Jaeger in this field continued unabated, and the dashboard of the 1.5-litre Aston Martin LM from the 1930s, a class winner in international motor sport, was equipped with Jaeger instruments. After the death of Jacques-David LeCoultre and other key players in the development of automobile and aviation instruments, relations with Jaeger become gradually weaker, and the end of World War II spelled the end of the production of automobile instruments in Le Sentier. The reference in fine watchmaking and the best in performance cars were, however, always destined to meet again, and decided to develop a collection of timepieces in 2004.

22 U.S. Code § 1977 - Reimbursement for seized commercial fishermen
prev | next
(a) Agreement to reimburse for actual costs, confiscation or spoilage of fish, and loss of income
The Secretary, upon receipt of an application filed with him at any time after the effective date of this section by the owner of any vessel of the United States which is documented or certificated as a commercial fishing vessel, shall enter into an agreement with such owner subject to the provision of this section and such other terms and conditions as the Secretary deems appropriate. Such agreement shall provide that, if said vessel is seized by a foreign country and detained under the conditions of section 1972 of this title, the Secretary shall guarantee—
(1) the owner of such vessel for all actual costs, except those covered by section 1973 of this title, incurred by the owner during the seizure and detention period and as a direct result thereof, as determined by the Secretary, resulting
(2) the owner of such vessel and its crew for the market value of fish caught before seizure of such vessel and confiscated or spoiled during the period of detention; and
(3) the owner of such vessel and its crew for not to exceed 50 per centum of the gross income lost as a direct result of such seizure and detention, as determined by the Secretary of State, based on the value of the average catch per day's fishing during the three most recent calendar years immediately preceding such seizure and detention of the vessel seized, or, if such experience is not available, then of all commercial fishing vessels of the United States engaged in the same fishery as that of the type and size of the seized vessel.
(b) Distribution of payments according to commercial fishing practices and procedures
Payments made by the Secretary under paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (a) of this section shall be distributed by the Secretary in accordance with the usual practices and procedures of the particular segment of the United States commercial fishing industry to which the seized vessel belongs relative to the sale of fish caught and the distribution of the proceeds of such sale.
(c) Establishment of fees; amount of fees; credit of fees to separate Treasury account; payment from collected fees; authorization of appropriations
The Secretary shall from time to time establish by regulation fees which shall be paid by the owners of vessels entering into agreements under this section. Such fees shall be adequate
(2) to cover a reasonable portion of any payments made by the Secretary under this section. All fees collected by the Secretary shall be credited to a separate account established in the Treasury of the United States which shall remain available without fiscal year limitation to carry out the provisions of this section. Those fees not currently needed for payments under this section shall be kept on deposit or invested in obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States and all revenues accruing from such deposits or investments shall be credited to such separate account. If a transfer of funds is made to the separate account under section 1975 (b)(2) of this title with respect to an unpaid claim and such claim is later paid, the amount so paid shall be covered into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts. All payments under this section shall be made first out of such fees so long as they are available and thereafter out of funds which are hereby authorized to be appropriated to such account to carry out the provisions of this section.
(d) Finality of determinations; insured losses
All determinations made under this section shall be final. No payment under this section shall be made with respect to any losses covered by any policy of insurance or other provision of law.
(e) Effective date
The provisions of this section shall be effective until October 1, 2008; except that payments may be made under this section only to such extent and in such amounts as are provided in advance in appropriation Acts.

I used to be a personal assistant for a woman in her 60s that had grown up visiting her grandmother in NYC, and then spent a large amount of time there as an adult. We became very close, and when I left she gave me some vintage fur, gloves and some Calvin Klein jackets that I just can hardly stand to put on they're so beautiful. She said the same thing - "all of this is much, much older than you." It gives a sense of awareness, doesn't it?

Such an elegant and regal looking old lady.
I adore the dress - the simplicity and contrasting blue and white. Then, to add a red necklace... it just brings out such an array of colour.
Everything, from the shoes to her wonderful smile, is perfect.
Still adoring this blog - I never miss a single post!

Creating Synonyms
Synonyms, or alternative names can be created for tables, views or other synonyms. You can create synonyms to personalize tables or just for your own convenience. Synonym names can be made up of a maximum of 128 characters.
Table names are 'qualified' by the name of the schema to which they belong. The qualified form of the table name is the schema name followed by the table name and the two are separated by a period.
Synonyms are particularly useful when several users refer to a common table, such as MIMER_STORE.ITEMS, MIMER_STORE.CURRENCIES, etc. With synonyms, several users can work in the same apparent environment without needing to refer to the tables by their qualified names.
Synonym Examples
The table ITEMS in the schema MIMER_STORE has the qualified name:MIMER_STORE.ITEMS
The ident called MIMER_STORE need only refer to it as:ITEMS
If other users wish to use this table, they must refer to it by its fully qualified name since they do not have the same name as the schema to which the table belongs.
If a user named James, who wishes to refer to the ITEMS table, belonging to the schema MIMER_STORE, as simply ITEMS, he can create a synonym.
In the following example, the schema name 'James' is implied by default (which must also have been created by user James if the CREATE is to succeed) because the synonym name is specified in its unqualified form (and the default schema name is the name of the current ident):CREATE SYNONYM items FOR mimer_store.items;
Another user can then create his own synonym for the ITEMS synonym that now exists in schema 'James', which has the fully qualified name:JAMES.ITEMS

Minority and Disadvantaged Business Participation
Pub. L. 112–95, title I, § 140(a),Feb. 14, 2012, 126 Stat. 27, provided that: "Congress finds the following:
"(1) While significant progress has occurred due to the establishment of the airport disadvantaged business enterprise program (49 U.S.C. 47107 (e) and 47113), discrimination and related barriers continue to pose significant obstacles for minority- and women-owned businesses seeking to do business in airport-related markets across the Nation. These continuing barriers merit the continuation of the airport disadvantaged business enterprise program.
"(2) Congress has received and reviewed testimony and documentation of race and gender discrimination from numerous sources, including congressional hearings and roundtables, scientific reports, reports issued by public and private agencies, news stories, reports of discrimination by organizations and individuals, and discrimination lawsuits. This testimony and documentation shows that race- and gender-neutral efforts alone are insufficient to address the problem.
"(3) This testimony and documentation demonstrates that discrimination across the Nation poses a barrier to full and fair participation in airport-related businesses of women business owners and minority business owners in the racial groups detailed in parts 23 and 26 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, and has impacted firm development and many aspects of airport-related business in the public and private markets.
"(4) This testimony and documentation provides a strong basis that there is a compelling need for the continuation of the airport disadvantaged business enterprise program and the airport concessions disadvantaged business enterprise program to address race and gender discrimination in airport-related business."
