Georgia-Based Warehouse Marks 21st Export Receiving Station for International Shipper.
Troy Container Line, one the world's largest American-owned NVOCCs, today announced it will open a new container freight station on June 1, 2012 in Savannah, Georgia. Located just eight miles from the Port of Savannah, the new CFS location is strategically placed between Charleston and Miami, and offers enhanced convenience and service to the South Atlantic marketplace.
The 175,000-square-foot facility includes 47 dock doors and a C-TPAT approved security system. It marks Troy Container Line's twenty-first warehouse location in the continental U.S. and will conveniently serve the local market, as well as customers across six continents.
"At Troy Container Line, we continually evolve to meet the needs of our growing client base," commented Patricia L. Fitzgerald, COO of Exports. "In conjunction with our Charlotte, N.C. office and Miami warehouse, the Savannah container freight station solidifies Troy Container Line's growing presence in the South Atlantic United States."
Having recently celebrated its 28-year anniversary, the Savannah warehouse is just one of many additions to Troy Container Line's shipping capabilities. The NVOCC recently announced a new Chicago to Rotterdam service, as well as a direct consolidation service to Liverpool and Manchester, England earlier this year. To learn more about Troy Container Line, please visit the company's new website www.TroyLines or call 1-800-331-0058.

Finished it at last! We hope you enjoy it. You might want to set the quality to medium, but it's not too graphic intensive, apart from the last scene.
EDIT: Thanks so much for front page, and all the awesome reviews!
Some FAQs:
1) Sloppy Fight 1 is at www.velodius.com. It would probably get blammed if we submitted it to NG though.
2) When we started SF2, the music wasn't at all over-used, as it is now. We started it just when Matrix Reloaded was released, so...
3) Sloppy Fight will return...

I am going to build a Mac application written in Obj-C with Xcode. For argument's sake let's say it will have 10 optional features. I need a way to enable or disable those features to create custom builds of the application. These builds would be automated (most likely through the Mac OS X Terminal) so I would need a way to state which of these features are enabled/disabled at build time (a configuration file or CLI arguments would be ideal.)
So what is the best way to accomplish this? I'm trying to plan this out before I start coding so that there is proper separation in my code base to allow for these features to come and go. Ideally the custom build would only contain compiled code for the features it should have. In other words I don't want to always compile all the features and condition them out at runtime.

One of my favorite graphic representations of a typical anole community is the one where all ecomorphs are hanging out together in a tree and a scrub next to said tree. Each ecomorph has its structural microhabitat place and they are all spaced out evenly across the tree to represent competition. Originally the figure was published by Williams (1983) and then modified later on. Arriving on the Greater Antilles, one thus expects to promptly be able to say hi to all these ecomorphs at the next best tree. Well, from my personal experience, I can tell you that this is unfortunately not the case.
Localities where all ecomorphs are found together are scarce, and all of them are famous, having served as field sites for the most groundbreaking of anole discoveries. But what about the rest of them? Something must prevent the co-occurrence of ecomorphs in all these other places. This was noted before: Losos (2009) remarked that all utilized structural microhabitats exploited by all ecomorphs are present throughout the islands, so "complete" ecomorph communities should also be able to occur everywhere.
A common explanation for the absence of certain "functional types" (= Anolis ecomorphs) from local communities is a process that is called "filtering." Modern community assembly theory distinguishes two such types of filters: 1. Biotic interaction filters and 2. Environmental filters.
Biotic filtering involves competitive exclusion: For anoles this phenomenon caused ecological speciation which led to the convergent evolution of the ecomorph communities. But biotic filtering should not be expected to occur at this stage of the radiation: Different ecomorphs are not competing for the same structural microhabitat niche in different localities. This leaves environmental filtering. In our study recently published in Ecology and Evolution, on which I am reporting here, we tested whether environmental filtering could be a possible explanation for the absence of ecomorphs in local communities.
First, we modeled Anolis ecomorph community completeness by constructing environmental niche models for each ecomorph (the sum of species belonging to that ecomorph) on each island. These models were then overlaid for all ecomorphs per island.
The map for ecomorph community completeness shows a very patchy distribution of areas where all ecomorphs are expected to occur. Comparisons of environmental niches among these islands revealed that only Hispaniola and Cuba have their complete Anolis ecomorph communities occurring in a similar bioclimatic parameter space.
This patchiness could be explained by elevation for all islands except Jamaica: the Anolis community completeness map strongly resembles the topographic relief of the Greater Antilles. Looking more closely into the climatic parameters, Jamaica has much lower daily and annual temperature ranges which are also not related to the island's elevation, whereas in the rest of the Greater Antillean islands, they are. Occurrence probability of ecomorphs seems to be coupled to environmental parameters, which explains why some ecomorphs are "filtered out" in some locations: they do not encounter a favorable environment there.
Since I mentioned initially that filtering relates to "functional types" (not species), the filtering must be a result of certain functional properties of the Anolis ecomorphs' phenotype. We wanted to take the study a step further and actually investigate one (among many) possible functional trait: body mass. Continue reading

I called this company for help after I saw them on tv. I initially told them my debts were over £16,000. They were very nice at this stage. They told me I could do an ivf. A few days later I got my letters from my debts and it only added up to £14,200. I rang them and they were very annoyed. They made me feel bad because my debt was below the amount needed for ivf. They tried to then push me into a managed plan. I said no and again was met with anger. I would not recommend this company.

ASPPA traditionally offers access to a recording of a webcast (including both audio and visual portions of the presentation) approximately one week following the original live webcast presentation. These recordings are available for 1 year after the date of the original live webcast. Below is a list of the currently available recorded webcasts.
LIVE on March 12, 2014 COMPLIMENTARY WEBCAST FOR NTSA MEMBERS! Speakers: Ellie A. Lowder, TGPC, TSA Consulting and Training & Michael A. Webb, TGPC, AIF, CEBS, Vice President, Retirement, Cammack Retirement A discussion of how important it is for advisors and plan sponsors to manage the loan and distribution processes, or face the legal or practical consequences.
Available through April 24, 2015 Speaker: Janice M. Wegesin, CPC, QPA, President, JMW Consulting, Inc. Most employee benefit plans require an annual Form 5500 filing. This program will offer you the opportunity to ask questions as well as •Learn about changes to the 2013 Form 5500 series and its instructions •Review changes to the EFAST2 system and discuss IRS proposals to mandate electronic filing for some Form 8955-SSA filers •Present issues with Form 5558 and offer suggestions for dealing with IRS correspondence and best practices in this regard •Take a look at common situations that arise for preparers and consider possible solutions; including issues with Form 5330
Available through April 03, 2015 Speaker: Robert M. Richter, J.D., LL.M., APM Vice President SunGard Relius The use of automatic contributions arrangements (sometimes called automatic enrollment) is increasing. This webcast will focus on the rules applicable to EACAs, QACAs and ACAs. In addition, examples will be used to help attendees understand the practical application of these rules. We will also focus on trends relating to automatic contribution arrangements, such as the application of escalator provisions to participants who have affirmative deferral elections.
Available through March 27, 2015 Speaker: Charles D. Lockwood, ASC Institute, LLC, Principal In this session, we will discuss the various coverage tests, including the ratio percentage and average benefits test. In addition, we will address methods for improving coverage testing results, such as the use of permitted disaggregation, restructuring and testing on the basis of equivalent benefit rates. This session will also cover correction methods for addressing a failed coverage test, including the use of fail-safe coverage options and retroactive plan amendments.
Available through March 27, 2015 Speaker: Susan D. Diehl, CPC, QKA, ERPA, President PenServ Plan Services, Inc. The Small Business Jobs Protection Act first allowed 401(k) and other deferral plan participants the opportunity to convert funds from pre-tax to Roth 401(k) accounts by an in-plan transfer of benefits that were then distributable and while some 401(k) plans adopted the feature, many elected to forego the change. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA) extended opportunities for plan participants to convert pre-tax 401(k) and 403(b) accounts. In an environment where the belief that tax rates will continue to increase, this may be a good time for plan sponsors to take another look at in-plan Roth conversion features. The changes within ATRA, subsequent IRS guidance and a focus on retirement readiness provide new ways to look at the conversions and how they should be presented to your Plan Sponsors. Join us for this review and discussion.

Available through January 15, 2015 Speaker: Gregory W. Kasten, CPC, MD, MBA, CFP, AIFA, founder & CEO, Unified Trust Company, NA Plan sponsors are often presented with a menu of fiduciary options available to them by potential advisors (e.g., 403(a) discretionary trustee, ERISA 3(38) investment manager, ERISA 3(21), 3(16) Administrator, 402(a) named fiduciary) which can be confusing when trying to understand the risk, liability, costs and protections available among the options. This webcast will explore the various types of fiduciaries and what is required to satisfy each type and level of fiduciary responsibility. This webcast will also examine the risks from the plan sponsor's residual remaining fiduciary status, and how to minimize those risks and potential liability. It will also highlight recent and ongoing court cases whereby vendors often distance themselves from their fiduciary "sale materials."

Schutte, CFP, TGPC, CLU, ChFC, LUTCF, President/CEO of EFS Advisors A growing number of employers are interested in making the Roth option available to their employees, but aren't sure the steps to take. Financial Advisors and Third Party Administrators can not only help engage and direct the employer, but can provide vital comparative information to eligible employees.

Available through November 6, 2014 Speakers: Bruce L. Ashton, APM & C. Frederick Reish, Esq., Drinker, Biddle & Reath LLP Plan sponsors have a fiduciary duty to evaluate the quality of investment and administration services as well as the reasonableness of services and fees provided to a qualified retirement plan. Historically, some plans used a consultant or an RFP process for this purpose. Many plan simply ignored this responsibility. With the advance of ERISA Section 408(b)(2), in addition to consultants and RFPs, independent benchmarking services are now available to assist fiduciaries. This session will explore the mechanisms available to plan sponsors to meet their fiduciary duties with respect to both pooled trusts and self-directed accounts.
Available through October 17, 2014 Speaker: Lawrence C. Starr, CPC, QPFC, president/owner, Qualified Plan Consultants, Inc.

As a special bonus, we'll even talk about the creative use of divorce — and yes, it is something we have actually used a number of times!

Triche, Esq., APM, ASPPA As an influential leader in retirement policy, Craig Hoffman has a front row seat to all that is happening on Capitol Hill. Please join Craig for an in-depth discussion of pressing issues which are of great concern to the retirement industry. What will be the impact of tax reform and deficit reduction on 403(b) and other employee benefit plans? How will developments in our Nation's Capital influence the design and administration of retirement and other employee benefit plans? What will be the impact of the DOL's new fiduciary definition regulation (when released) on 403(b) and other employee benefit plans? What additional developments should be expected from other regulatory agencies in the year ahead? Join us as issues of great concern to retirement plan professionals are addressed by ASPPA's General Counsel and Director of Regulatory Affairs, Craig Hoffman. On June 26, 2013, the United States Supreme Court overturned Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA").

Triche, Esq., APM, ASPPA, Arlington, VA On June 26, 2013, the United States Supreme Court overturned Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA").

However, it is not clear which Federal rights and responsibilities of marriage will be afforded to same-gender married couples that reside in states that do not permit or recognize same-gender marriages.

Judge Throws Out 'Jihad' Evidence Against Hasan Print article Send a Tip by Mary Chastain 20 Aug 2013 post a comment Judge Col. Tara Osborn blocked evidence from Maj. Nidal Hasan's trial that prosecutors said would explain his motive for opening fire at Fort Hood. Thirteen people were murdered and more than 30 were wounded in the November 2009 attack. Prosecutors wanted to introduce evidence that showed Hasan believed he had a "jihad duty" to murder his fellow soldiers. Eighty witnesses testified for the prosecution, but they wanted to explain his motive this week. From the Associated Press: Osborn barred any reference Hasan Akbar, a Muslim soldier sentenced to death for attacking fellow soldiers in Kuwait during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Prosecutors wanted to suggest that Hasan, an American-born Muslim, carried out a "copycat" attack. But the judge said introducing such material would "only open the door to a mini-trial" of Akbar and result in a "confusion of issues, unfair prejudice, waste of time and undue delay." The judge said prosecutors also couldn't introduce three emails, ruling that the needed redactions would make them irrelevant. The contents of the emails weren't disclosed, but the FBI has said Hasan sent numerous emails starting in December 2008 to Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical U.S.-born Islamic cleric killed by a drone strike in Yemen in 2011. Osborn did say the prosecution can use Hasan's computer, his Internet searches and which websites he marked as favorites, but only around the time of the attack. Reed Rubinstein, an attorney representing the victims and their relatives in a civil lawsuit against the government, did not approve of Osborn's ruling. He does not understand how the emails are irrelevant. The AP reports: He also blamed the government for dragging out Hasan's case and making some evidence too old to be considered. In Monday's ruling, the judge said prosecutors couldn't cite Hasan's interest years ago in conscientious objector status and his past academic presentations because both were too old and irrelevant. "The reason for that is the procedural pretzels the government has tied itself in to protect Hasan," Rubinstein said, noting that the trial was originally delayed because of a fight over whether Hasan could keep his beard, which violates military policy. The prosecution is expected to rest this week. That means Hasan, who is acting as his own attorney, may have to speak to the court. He has been silent the majority of the time except when he challenged the definition of jihad and cross examined witness Staff Sgt. Juan Alvarado.

My whole family loves this place. Big portions at good prices. It's normally busy so you might have to stand and wait for a table to open up but the staff keep it moving so hang loose and you'll be seated in no time. This isn't a fancy high end type place but if you want to eat where the locals eat and at a good price, this is it.

Across the street from the Red Bluff Animal Hospital sits a large house surrounded by green lawns and fenced-in outdoor play areas. Inside, Red Bluff Pet Resort's licensed trainers and behavior therapists see to their tail-wagging and nose-nuzzling guests' every need with daycare, lodging, grooming, and training. Their dog suites feature large beds and Skype-enabled computer screens so that owners can digitally visit their pets. Alternatively, their multilevel kitty condos allow independent pets to enjoy a relaxing stay without being bothered by dogs or chairmen of neighborhood committees. Their training options range from puppy classes and obedience lessons to one-on-one lodge-and-learn packages for when owners are on vacation.
The staffers at Doggie World Grooming and Boarding radiate a level of playfulness that suits their canine clients to a tee. With good humor and an apt amount of gentleness, they coax dogs into elevated tubs before meticulously grooming them. Their beautification services range from a Basic Bubbles bath to the Fluff Up and Total Bow Wow packages, which can include an ear cleaning and flattering trim. Using specialized shampoos, they reduce shedding, ward off fleas, and brighten coats, and can administer add-ons such as nail polishing, teeth brushing, or lipstick for female bichons primping for a big date. Haircare is not their only specialty, however-they also host pooches for extended stays in their boarding facilities and keep tongues wagging with housemade bacon-flavored dog treats.
A lush lawn and garden center teems with trees, flowers, and fragrant mulches, inspiring homeowners to create cozy stomping grounds for their farm animals and household pets. Inside Gulf Coast Equine and Pet Center, bags of feed from brands such as Purina and Nutrena await trips to swine troughs, dog dishes, and the Triple Crown trophies from which the coolest horses eat their meals. An onsite pet salon grooms dogs large and small, paying close attention to families' and pets' personal tastes as groomers create each dog's new 'do.
Midtown Veterinary Hospital's Dr. Richard Clive, alongside his wife Janelle and staff of registered vet techs, helps animals live long healthy lives. Inside the hospital, pets can curl up in the sun, which filters through the reception area's large windows, or enjoy such comforts as a padded exam table. Their bipedal counterparts, meanwhile, appreciate cushy, white chairs set on dark hardwood floors, cookies to balance on their noses, and vibrant animal prints that decorate the office.
Owners keep their pets up to date with an array of services, including regular check-ups, vaccinations, and dental exams. They can also rest easy knowing that should pets ever need further treatments, such as digital radiology or surgical services, Midtown's facilities are well prepared with an onsite lab and a heated surgical table that staves off chills as pets get their coats dry-cleaned. The hospital also sports a pharmacy that supplies owners with medications to prevent such maladies as fleas, ticks, and heartworm with next-day prescription filling and an online, home-delivery pharmaceutical service. :m]]
Friends for Life plans to open a new, LEED-certified animal shelter in spring 2012. The organization would like to create a comfortable Senior Kitty room for elderly cats that reside at the shelter, providing them with a safe, loving environment to aid in both their mental and physical well-being. The older cats will be able to roam freely and safely in the room, which the staff hopes to furnish with soft beds, climbers, and toys.
The name 610 Pet Lodge is not misleading. The boarding facility, veterinary clinic, and grooming center accommodate pets of all kinds, not just cats and dogs. Seven days a week, the overnight boarding area temporarily houses typical house pets, as well as pigs, parrots, reptiles, and pet logs. For busy dog owners, the staffers keep canines active as they make new furry friends during doggy daycare. All animals must be vaccinated prior to boarding and doggy daycare; however, 610 Pet Lodge's veterinary clinic staff can administer all necessary vaccinations upon arrival. To help pets find permanent homes, the staff works closely with local rescue organizations to seek out people who are looking to adopt a new pet.
