Publisher's Description
When your life is over, everything you did will be represented by a single dash between two dateswhat will that dash mean for the people you have known and loved?
As Joseph Epstein once said, We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents, or the country of our birth. We do not, most of us, choose to die. . . . But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live. And that is what The Dash is all about.
Beginning with an inspiring poem by Linda Ellis titled The Dash, renowned author Mac Anderson then applies his own signature commentary on how the poem motivates us to make certain choices in our liveschoices to ignore the calls of selfishness and instead reach out to others, using our God-given abilities to brighten their days and lighten their loads.
After all, at the end of life, how we will be rememberedwhether our dash represents a full, joyous life of seeking Gods glory, or merely the space between birth and deathwill be entirely up to the people weve left behind, the lives weve changed.

Carrie Weir, Oxford
Once I'd managed to find the spa, its in the middle of an industrial estate and not easy to spot!!, I had an amazing day. Lovely staff, tasty lunch and the most relaxing massage. Thank you all.
Hannah, Midlands
Some of the jets in hydro pool weren't working. Not enough loungers in pool area, many people just left their towels on them for hours. Booked early lunch due to treatment time, starter and main were very nice but coffee afterwards took 15 mins to arrive, I had to go and ask again in the end as we had been forgotten. Treatment was pleasant enough but shower afterwards was awkward, the shower basin flooded over on to floor so I was panicking, mopping it up with my towel and trying to unblock the plug hole. The therapist said it happened as another client may have been showering in another room but after being totally relaxed, I was suddenly in a state of panic and embarrassment!
vrac, ross on wye
I had a fantastic luxury spa day and overnight stay all staff were very polite and helpful. The food was fantastic well worth the prices we paid. Kelly, who did my facial was so good and what a great massage as well very friendly our room was of a very high standard could not find anything to complain about at all and will definitely be back again. I bought some products which I can't wait to use I will definitely recommend this spa to my friends and family. First class experience the standard of the pools and steam rooms were so relaxing and really made you feel relaxed.
Margaret, West Midlands

Pro Football Zone:
On Saturday, David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune wrote an article about the discussion he had recently with Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs. Haugh and Briggs disagreed strongly about the appropriateness of Saints' linebacker Jonathan Vilma's year-long suspension for his role in the Bountygate scandal. Haugh challenged Briggs' statement that Vilma's suspension was, as he put it, "a bunch of BS," explaining that the intent behind the suspension was to increase player awareness and safety.
"Player safety is best taken care of by providing health insurance for players' lives… come on. It's like asking a boxer: 'Are your injuries related to taking blows to the head?' We throw our bodies around. It's physical. It's football. You can't stop the violence from happening,'" Briggs said.
But Haugh's point wasn't so much that the NFL can eliminate the seriously violent hits that occur in football, but more so that the NFL has an obligation to make the attempt at reducing the

Historical Traveler Reviews Hanna Penso Amsterdam
Luxurious B&B in Amsterdam but good value for money!
If you are looking for a special place to stay when you next visit Amsterdam, Hanna Penso is the place to go!
Good accomodation & care
We had the canal room, which is the first room when you arrive to the place. Very quiet, with very comfortable twin beds, flat LCD TV, kitchenette for breakfast, bathroom with shower and separate toilets. Excellent equipment, everything is brand news with typical furnitures.
Great breakfast.
The caretaker warmly welcomed us.
The position is ideal : very silent but at 10 minutes'walk from Rembrandtplein or den Waag.
I'd warmly recommend this place.
Hanna Penso and Beatrijs are the BEST!
I Stayed here During the Queens Birthday Celebration!
It was Fabulous! The Best! Beatrijs Made
me feel so at home! Accommodations
were Very Clean, Welcoming, and Comfortable!
I stayed in the Front Room with a french
door looking out onto the small cobblestone
Street and Canal! This place is so easy
to get to by Train and is right in the mix
of everthing to you need to do and see!
Trust me... as a Single Female traveling alone..
I was able to find my way on foot and by train
just fine.. Was able to walk to all the
different areas of town.. Take it from
me... WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES!!
Loved this B&B
Wow .. i dont think i can say words which would express how lovely this B&B is. We stayed in the Garden House and had such a memorable time. My boyfriend loved the coffee maker lol. Absolutely great price for 100€ a night. Gorgeous place and amazing staff. A**
Absolutely wonderful! Such attention to detail!
We stayed in the garden house for my combination birthday and wedding anniversary. The place is just beautiful and in a great location right near the heart of the city. On arrival, Beatrijs had a bottle of champagne and chocolates waiting along with a very sweet note - and that was just the start to a relaxing and indulgent weekend. We will surely be recommending to family and friends and can't wait for the chance to go back.
Best Place in Amsterdam
My wife and I stayed for five days in one of the three beautiful and comfortable double rooms in this immaculately restored and updated 18th-century canal house perfectly located at the intersection of the Amstel canal and Nieuwe Keizersgracht, within walking distance of everything you might want to do in Amsterdam. Our room was spacious, very clean and tidy, tastefully furnished, and amply supplied with everything you could need. Newly remodeled, all the fixtures and appliances are new and the internet high-speed access worked perfectly the moment we plugged it into our laptop. The French doors open onto a charming urban garden at the end of which is one of the three rooms, the other two being in the house on the ground floor. The hosts, Jakob Kohnstamm and Beatrice Stemerding, are charming and delightful company, as well as founts of good advice about the City and its environs. Beatrice provided fresh baked goods and restocked our kitchen every day, and gladly filled special requests; her helper cleaned and made up the room every day while we were out exploring. We cannot recommend Hanna Penso more highly than to say we would not think of staying anywhere else when in Amsterdam. Check out www.hannapenso.nl and write to --- -- you won't be sorry.
Beatrijs with the magic touch
if you enjoy walking barefoot on wooden floor, if you appreciate aesthetic
design, if you like a peaceful surrounding with flowers and birds, if you
don�t mind worshipping the cats from next door, well, come here and open your senses-
A Beautiful Garden Pension
If you are seeking a "Great", warm, friendly, "ultra" clean place to stay while in Amsterdam, Hanna Penso is the place to be. Your owner/hostess Beatrijs is extraordinarily warm, friendly, helpful and charming! She will assist you in every aspect of your stay in Amsterdam, ranging from and including places of interest, resturants, stores, transportation, and special events. The garden setting is a wonderful place for breakfast, reading, relaxation and enjoying the peaceful tranquility of Amsterdam. We would return to Hanna Penso and Beatrijs in a heartbeat.
Perfect! Lovely and peaceful, right in the city center.
We spent a lovely weekend at Logement Hanna Penso the end of May, '05.
No1 for attention to detail
We spent a lovely long weekend in April at the newly opened Hanna Penso, which offers traditional Dutch lodging rooms alongside the owners' own residence. We took a chance and booked the "Garden House" which was a studio type accomodation which looked great on the website, and thankfully turned out to be every bit as desirable and non-shed-like as we'd dared hope! In fact, I can't begin to describe how peaceful and immediately at home we felt, which was greatly helped by Beatrijs and her amazing finishing touches... a well stocked fridge of simple delights, coffee and handmade chocs awaiting, fresh bread and croissants hung in the baker's bag on the door each morning, and of course purple tulips which remained proudly upright all 4 days. I am ALMOST loathe to post this review as it really is the dream destination that you would wish to keep to yourself for fear of it always being fully booked..... BUT, that would be to deprive Beatrijs of the future custom that she so richly deserves. My husband & I are actively looking for excuses and free weekends to escape back there ASAP :-) xx

Re: Real feedback on iPad Apps - Navigation/CharPlotter
I use Motion X GPS. It was used to chart the 2 record breaking Trans Pacs. The owner of the company Kahn is a sailor. I find it affordable ($2?), accurate, reliable and easy to use. I used it on a trip from Newport Beach to Catalina. Others on board were VERY impressed. Motor sailing over was a piece of cake. On the way back it was a bit hairy with big winds and big seas. Still the software kept me right on track. Many times showing we were being pushed too far south by seas and winds. You did get the 4G version of the iPad right? That has the dedicated GPS in it. The WiFi only does not have stand alone GPS. This means you can get GPS tracking without Cell signal. My wife has the iPad 3, I use her original iPad for the boat now. I turned off the data plan, so no Cell service at all for me, but the GPS worked flawlessly. I found that I didn't use the Map section or chart section as much as I used its compass page. It has my speed, heading, distance to waypoint, and bearing to waypoint. I use bearing to waypoint and my ship compasses to navigate. If I get off course , it automatically recalculates a new course and bearing to get me to my destination. Here is what that screen looks like....

Government Solvency, Ponzi Finance and the Redundancy and Usefulness of Public Debt
We investigate how the ability of the government to depart from budget balance and issue debt expands the set of equilibria that can be supported using lump-sum tax-transfer instruments. We show how this depends on the restrictions that exist on the capacity to tax and make transfer payments, and what these restrictions imply for the government's ability to issue debt. Central to our analysis is the definition of solvency for an infinite-lived government in an infinite-lived economy with overlapping generations of finite-lived households. Our specification is derived from the demand for public debt by private agents and the non-negativity constraints on the capital stock and on private consumption by all generations. Under fairly tight restrictions on the government's tax-transfer menu, our solvency constraint implies the conventional solvency constraint. With unrestricted taxes and transfers Ponzi finance is always possible but 'inessential": it does not expand the set of equilibria that can be supported. Ponzi finance can be "essential" when taxes and transfers are restricted. The paper establishes a number of results that demonstrate how the government's ability to issue debt allows restricted tax-transfer schemes to support all equilibria attainable using unrestricted taxes and transfers(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)

Jagged Alliance 2 brings to the table a wicked sense of humor, simulation-driven character design, a combination of strategic overworld and tactical battles reminiscent of the X-COM series, and a surprisingly deep open-world RPG experience reminiscent of the Ultima or Elder Scrolls games.
Focusing on JA2′s development history and basing his book largely on new personal interviews with the game's developers, game designer and web technology developer Darius Kazemi will delve deep into the legacy of a game that still has much to teach gamers and game-makers 14 years after its release.
Darius Kazemi develops open web technology at Bocoup in Boston. For ten years he worked in videogames and more recently has created things like Amazon Random Shopper, RapBot, Outslide, and Clickbait. He runs GameLoop, a game development unconference, and co-organizes the Boston HTML5 Game Development Meetup. He also writes open source Twitter bots in JavaScript.

How can I treat the insect bite I got recently and which is itchy, red, and swollen?
- Q: I was bitten by an insect two days ago and I don't know what kind. Since then, the spot has been itching like crazy, and the area is red and a little swollen. What should I do? Should I see a doctor?
- A: Treatment depends on the type of reaction. If there is only redness and pain at the site of the bite, application of ice is adequate treatment. Clean the area with soap and water to remove contaminated particles left behind by some insects (such as mosquitoes). These particles may further contaminate the wound if not removed. Refrain from scratching because this may cause the skin to break down and an infection to form. You can treat the itching with an over-the-counter antihistamine like Benadryl, either oral or in cream form. This should alleviate any allergic reaction you are having that may be causing the itching. You could also try hydrocortisone in cream or ointment form that will also help with the itching and swelling. If the bite appears infected (redness with or without pus, warmth, fever, or a red streak that spreads toward the body), see a doctor. If you don't know what bit you, it is important to keep watching the area closely to be sure it does not become infected. If any changes occur, such as an open wound, you should see a physician.

With one billion impressions served, Facebook Exchange is performing well for advertisers, according to Adobe. The company analyzed the aggregate data from companies running retargeting campaigns via real-time bidding platforms using Adobe Media Optimizer. The result after 30 days: a 70 percent higher conversion rate.
To beta test the integration of Adobe Media Optimizer with Facebook Exchange, the company looked at an undisclosed number of advertisers using eight of the top real-time bidding platforms. In addition to the higher conversion rate, the cost per lead was more than 50 percent lower than the average of all the RTB supply sources. Everything considered, Facebook Exchange ended up being the second-best performing ad source overall. (Adobe won't say which was the best, so as not to hurt feelings.)
Adobe thinks that some of that strong performance is due to cheaper prices for ads on Facebook Exchange - but that won't last, says Justin Merickel, senior director of new product innovation, Adobe Advertising Solutions.
Right now, he says, not all of the real-time bidding platforms in the test access inventory from Facebook Exchange. "For bidded markets, as competition rises, you'll see a commensurate rise in pricing. We hypothesize that, since performance is strong, demand will grow over time and prices will rise. We're still in the ramp-up phase, so there is opportunity for marketers to capitalize on that favorable environment," Merickel says.
Adobe Media Optimizer, Adobe's ad solution for Facebook Exchange, lets marketers buy ads on Facebook via real-time bidding, and then retarget their audiences there. This is something made possible by the Facebook Exchange APIs, but not through the main Facebook ad platform. Ad management systems also have to enable it on their end.
Retargeting customers on Facebook is where the heavy juice is, according to Merickel.
"Bringing your own data assets to bear on how you buy audiences in Facebook is something we know is very effective in bringing people back to you and getting them to transact. Facebook Exchange lets us tie customers' data assets into Facebook Exchange and target them at the right price based on performance."

Distinct Quantal Features of AMPA and NMDA Synaptic Currents in Hippocampal Neurons: Implication of Glutamate Spillover and Receptor Saturation Biophysical Journal, Volume 85, Issue 5, 1 November 2003, Pages 3375-3387 Yuri V. Pankratov and Oleg A. Krishtal Abstract Excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) were studied in the CA1 pyramidal cells of rat hippocampal slices. Components mediated by α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-proprionic acid (AMPA) and by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors were separated pharmacologically. Quantal parameters of AMPA and NMDA receptor-mediated EPSCs were obtained using both maximal likelihood and autocorrelation techniques. Enhancement of transmitter release with 4-aminopyridine caused a significant increase in quantal size of NMDA EPSC. This was accompanied by a slowing of the EPSC decay. The maximal number of quanta in the NMDA current was unchanged, while the probability of quantal event dramatically enhanced. In contrast, neither the quantal size nor the kinetics of AMPA EPSC was altered by 4-aminopyridine, while the maximal number of quanta increased. These changes in the quantal parameters are consistent with a transition to multivesicular release of the neurotransmitter. Spillover of excessive glutamate on the nonsynaptic areas of dendritic spines causes an increase in the quantal size of NMDA synaptic current. The difference in quantal behavior of AMPA and NMDA EPSCs implies that different mechanisms underlie their quantization: the additive response of nonsaturated AMPA receptors contrasts with the variable involvement of saturated intrasynaptic and nonsaturated extrasynaptic NMDA receptors.

A Single Packet of Transmitter Does Not Saturate Postsynaptic Glutamate Receptors Neuron, Volume 34, Issue 4, 16 May 2002, Pages 613-621 Taro Ishikawa, Yoshinori Sahara and Tomoyuki Takahashi Summary Neurotransmitter is stored in synaptic vesicles and released by exocytosis into the synaptic cleft. One of the fundamental questions in central synaptic transmission is whether a quantal packet of transmitter saturates postsynaptic receptors. To address this question, we loaded the excitatory transmitter L-glutamate via whole-cell recording pipettes into the giant nerve terminal, the calyx of Held, in rat brainstem slices. This caused marked potentiations of both quantal and action potential-evoked EPSCs mediated by α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) or N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. These results directly demonstrate that neither AMPA nor NMDA receptors are saturated by a single packet of transmitter, and indicate that vesicular transmitter content is an important determinant of synaptic efficacy.

A Monte Carlo Model Reveals Independent Signaling at Central Glutamatergic Synapses Biophysical Journal, Volume 83, Issue 5, 1 November 2002, Pages 2333-2348 Kevin M. Franks, Thomas M. Bartol and Terrence J. Sejnowski Abstract We have developed a biophysically realistic model of receptor activation at an idealized central glutamatergic synapse that uses Monte Carlo techniques to simulate the stochastic nature of transmission following release of a single synaptic vesicle. For the a synapse with 80 AMPA and 20 NMDA receptors, a single quantum, with 3000 glutamate molecules, opened approximately 3 NMDARs and 20 AMPARs. The number of open receptors varied directly with the total number of receptors, and the fraction of open receptors did not depend on the ratio of co-localized AMPARs and NMDARs. Variability decreased with increases in either total receptor number or quantal size, and differences between the variability of AMPAR and NMDAR responses were due solely to unequal numbers of receptors at the synapse. Despite NMDARs having a much higher affinity for glutamate than AMPARs, quantal release resulted in similar occupancy levels in both receptor types. Receptor activation increased with number of transmitter molecules released or total receptor number, whereas occupancy levels were only dependent on quantal size. Tortuous diffusion spaces reduced the extent of spillover and the activation of extrasynaptic receptors. These results support the conclusion that signaling is spatially independent within and between central glutamatergic synapses. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1143 kb) |

Research Article
W.R. Holmes
One- and two-dimensional models of glutamate diffusion, uptake, and binding in the synaptic cleft were developed to determine if the release of single vesicles of glutamate would saturate NMDA and non-NMDA receptors. Ranges of parameter values were used in the simulations to determine the conditions when saturation could occur. Single vesicles of glutamate did not saturate NMDA receptors unless diffusion was very slow and the number of glutamate molecules in a vesicle was large. However, the release of eight vesicles at 400 Hz caused NMDA receptor saturation for all parameter values tested. Glutamate uptake was found to reduce NMDA receptor saturation, but the effect was smaller than that of changes in the diffusion coefficient or in the number of glutamate molecules in a vesicle. Non-NMDA receptors were not saturated unless diffusion was very slow and the number of glutamate molecules in a vesicle was large. The release of eight vesicles at 400 Hz caused significant non-NMDA receptor desensitization. The results suggest that NMDA and non-NMDA receptors are not saturated by single vesicles of glutamate under usual conditions, and that tetanic input, of the type typically used to induce long-term potentiation, will increase calcium influx by increasing receptor binding as well as by reducing voltage-dependent block of NMDA receptors.

There has been much debate about investment, or more accurately lack of investment, for decommissioning, but as a basis for investment the only relevant fact is that decommissioning is inevitable. We are seeing evidence that North Sea decommissioning and removal is now becoming a reality. However, a clear focus is needed to prepare for decommissioning and recognizing what is required both in terms of information and skills.
There are currently about 700 installations in the North Sea that will, with a few exceptions such as gravity based structures (GBS), require removing (Figure 1). The United Kingdom has the greatest number of jackets (fixed platforms) to be removed. It is generally accepted that the major challenges of platform removal are with the larger installations, those with a topside weight in excess of 10,000 tonnes (Figure 2). These platforms are, with the odd exception, in water depths of more than 300 ft (100 m) in the United Kingdom and Norwegian waters.
About 12 years ago, the North Sea oil and gas industry began to prepare itself for the expected imminent bonanza of platform "abandonment" (the terminology used at that time). Politicians tried to appease the conflicting requirements of environmentalists who required all platforms to be removed and oil and gas operators who wanted them to remain. Virtually overnight a mini industry was born, promoting a new breed of innovative abandonment experts who offered a variety of options for what to do with redundant platforms, ranging from removal using thermo-nuclear devices to rescuing them or to converting them into offshore nightclubs/casinos. At this time Amoco was considering the options for North West Hutton with a view to ceasing production in 2003/4.
In the belief that this new market was about to take off, a number of companies started investing significant funds in developing platform removal concepts. However, the realization that a regulatory framework was needed to address the fate of redundant platforms, plus the prediction of high-removal costs, suddenly changed the focus of the industry to one of deferment and maximizing the return from offshore development. Since then we have seen a "cyclic" approach to decommissioning (the current term). This cycle usually coincides with the falling price of oil. Now 12 years later, it could be that the long-awaited decommissioning market in the North Sea is about to re-emerge. So what is the envisaged market and what are the challenges facing the oil and gas industry?
Decommissioning in the North Sea is in its infancy, with a total of 54 installations removed to date (Figure 3). Of these, the most notable are Brent Spar, Hutton TLP (both floaters) and Maureen (GBS), all of which were UK installations disposed of in Norway. The heaviest lift to date was the Frøy jacket (7,200 tonnes) which was removed in 2002 as a single lift by Heerema's semisubmersible crane vessel (SSCV) Thialf.
Figure 4 shows one possible projection of the forecast removal dates for North Sea fixed installations in all sectors. Peaks and troughs have been removed by leveling (normalizing) the peaks. Forecast dates are based on an assumption of a platform being removed one year after it is no longer deemed as commercially viable.
Several factors will influence the removal date:
Oil price;
Change of asset owner;
New technology to enhance further recovery;
Step-out developments using existing offshore infrastructure; and
A preference to "mothball" platforms until favorable market conditions prevail (new technology, maturity of the decommissioning market).
With the exception of a low oil price, all of the above will defer platform removal. Notwithstanding
this, the following can be expected to be removed soon:
Frigg field/MCP01 (Norway/United Kingdom) - Four topsides from gravity-based structures, two steel fixed platforms and one damaged jacket. All of these are deemed as technically challenging. Contract award for removal is planned for last quarter 2004, with work offshore planned from 2005;
Ekofisk (Norway/United Kingdom) - Twelve fixed structures and one GBS topside planned for removal from 2006;
NW Hutton (United Kingdom) - Large steel platform decommissioned and converted to a normally unattended installation (NUI) with removal expected 2006+; and
Thistle, Miller, Murchison - all large steel platforms in the UK North Sea - possible candidates for removal 2008+.
A number of estimates are available for the value of the decommissioning market, one for the UK market ranges from $14.394 billion. Approximately 50% of this figure is related to the preparation and removal costs for fixed steel platforms. A further observation showed that more than 50% of this cost related to marine activities, of which the heavy lift vessels were the most significant component.
Irrespective of which forecast is correct - there is a major prize to be won for innovation that results in significant cost reductions. One example is the concept of single lift technology driven by a perception that conventional heavy lift vessels are "too expensive, there is not enough competition and not enough vessels for both the installation and removal of platforms." A number of interesting concepts have been promoted over the past decade, including Pieter Schelte, MPU Heavy Lift, GM Lifter, TPG 500, but we are still a few years away from seeing any of these vessels become a reality. The reason is the "chicken and egg" syndrome; investors necessary to provide the capital to allow the vessels to be built require the guarantee of decommissioning contracts to provide a return. Oil companies are understandably reluctant to make a commitment until a vessel is built or the concept is proven. To break this impasse Phillips Norway (now ConocoPhillips) took the initiative in 2003 by committing to award two of its platforms for removal using single lift technology, providing certain criteria had been met. This was not to be, as all the concepts were rejected.
Factors that contributed to this decision may have been related to the terms and conditions and a failure to understand that contractors, especially in a new industry, cannot accept unlimited commercial risk.
There lies the second challenge. Unless an operator is prepared to recognise that bringing 'new blood' into the decommissioning market requires more favourable terms to share the risk, then there is a danger that the only competition for platform removal in the North Sea will be Heerema or Saipem.
Perceived reluctance to invest in decommissioning, coupled with the fact that very few platforms have been removed, means that practical experience in the North Sea is very limited, but there is plenty of experience available from the Gulf of Mexico related to removal of relatively small installations in a less hostile environment. The consequence of this is the stark realization that decommissioning is not just "a longer shutdown phase" or a "reverse hook-up." The following are a few issues worthy of note:
Structural integrity: It may be 25 years or more after installation that a platform is to be removed. During the platform's history many changes may have occurred through modifications and upgrades. The asset owners may have changed several times and, with each change, documents of the platform's earlier history may disappear. In addition, engineering standards and specifications have changed. Information necessary to verify that a topside module can be removed and transported safely may not be readily available. Extensive engineering surveys can solve this situation providing access is available - a difficult task once a platform has been mothballed and access depends on shuttling. Structural engineers are the key discipline in platform removal. Are there are enough experienced engineers available? Operators must recognize the need to ensure that accurate data (weight control, etc.) is readily available, and ensure access is available for surveys.
Organization: Once a platform has shutdown and hydrocarbons have been removed, it should no longer be considered as an operating platform. It becomes, in effect, a construction site. Consequently the offshore organization and working environment need to reflect this (It should be led by an experienced construction manager rather than the existing OIM). The team should retain the offshore experience for operating platform utilities but should primarily be contractors' personnel. Safety is paramount throughout and the work permit system is a fundamental component. However, this would need to be changed to reflect that hydrocarbons had been removed.
Cleaning and waste disposal: A balance should be struck between the extent of cleaning carried out offshore compared with the risk. It is a fundamental consideration that all waste streams are identified, quantified and disposal routes confirmed prior to any attempt to remove them. The North Sea offshore industry is well aware that the only current land-based disposal route for low specific activity (LSA), at Drigg, in Cumbria, northwest England, is unable to take the volumes that are generated. The clear focus for LSA is removal and disposal via the platform offshore (possibly by re-injection) rather than risk the regulatory consequences of radioactive or hazardous waste appearing in other countries via onshore dismantling yards.
At last it is obvious that decommissioning and removal is becoming a reality. Finally, it must be recognized that contractors are prepared to take a level of risk commensurate with the rewards as opposed to maximum risk for minimum reward.

Legislators back Lake Michigan barge proposal
MUSKEGON, Mich. (AP) - Supporters of allowing cargo barges to travel on Lake Michigan as far north as Muskegon say they've lined up significant backing from members of the state legislature.
The Michigan Agri-Business Association says 86 House members and eight senators have signed letters favoring the idea.
Rep. Marcia Hovey-Wright says allowing barges to call at ports in Muskegon and elsewhere along the lake's eastern shore would give those areas a better shot at economic growth opportunities. Sen. Goeff Hansen says it would lead to infrastructure improvements.
The U.S. Coast Guard sets commercial routes for barges and certain other vessels in large water bodies, including the Great Lakes. The agency is accepting public comments on the Lake Michigan barge proposal.


text: Quoted Text 2007 was an amazing year for science, and Wired News has captured the best of what took place in their first annual Top 10 Scientific Breakthroughs of 2007. Here's what made the grade:10. Smaller Transistors: Intel was able to reduce the size of features on their chips from 65 nanometers to 45 nanometers. 9. A Rhesus Monkey is Cloned to Make Stem Cells: This implies that cells from a sick patient could one day be cloned to make stem cells from their own bodies, which could be used to repair their own organs without risk of rejection.8. Planets Discovered That May Harbor Life: A pair of potentially life-containing planets was found in a distant solar system.7. A Transparent Material as Strong as Steel: Using nanometer-sized clay particles, engineers created a lightweight material with extraordinary strength.6. Soft Tissue From a T. Rex Analyzed: The biological molecules from a well-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex leg bone revealed it had a lot in common with modern-day chickens.5. Rhett Syndrome in Lab Mice Cured: This implies that Rhett syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder that prevents children from walking and talking, and causes tremors, may be curable.4. Enzymes Convert Any Blood Type to O: Since almost everyone can tolerate blood type O, this technology could help hospitals treat patients during blood shortages.3. Dinosaur Mummy Excavated and Scanned: The nearly intact mummy of a plant-eating dinosaur was captured in 3-D images. Already, a striped pattern on its scales, and surprising information about its muscles mass and bone spacing, have been revealed.2. Chimpanzees Make Spears for Hunting: Anthropologists observed female chimpanzees break branches from trees, strip the leaves and sharpen the tips, then use them to hunt small animals.1. Skin Cells Turned Into Stem Cells: Researchers turned skin cells into stem cells without using eggs or having to destroy human embryos. The cells often turned cancerous, however, but the researchers believe they can tweak the process to create tissues that don't turn into tumors.

Wireless communication lies at the heart of powerful new applications offering a rich combination of voice, data, multimedia, and more. Delivery of information-data among networks is evolving to more intelligent systems. Solutions to the most challenging problems of information security involve establishing a cooperative and intelligent infrastructure of networks.
The Center for Intelligent Networked Systems (iNetS) studies this vast, compelling field in an effort to unlock the secrets of network intelligence, extend the functional capabilities of wireless communications, and provide intrinsic network security. We apply that knowledge with a long-term lens to engineer innovative solutions with global impact.
iNetS explores opportunities for insertion of intelligence within networked systems to achieve "smart" systems whose components easily work with one another. Networked systems extend from large scale systems of diverse interconnected networks through specialized networks optimized for targeted applications to the end-points of networks. iNetS explores the systematic insertion of intelligence at all points throughout this complex system-of-systems to achieve ease of operation and quality of service. For this purpose, iNetS explores insertion of intelligence within points of the overall networked system, consistent with the needs of adjacent connected components.
Working on multiple diverse projects, our researchers are focused on finding innovative ways to make network systems and information delivery operate more intelligently and securely for the benefit of humanity. Our current research is sponsored by a broad range of U.S. government agencies and global industry, including Department of Defense. Our projects fall into four areas of inquiry:Mobile Sensor Platform Research Autonomous Deployment of Service Robots in Mobile Sensor Networks Bio-Inspired Self-Deployment of Distributed Mobile Sensor Networks under Dynamic EnvironmentDesign and Development of Legged Robots for Mobile Sensor Platforms under Rough TerrainsResearch on PHY, MAC, and NET Layer Designs in Sensor Networks Collaborative Signal Processing for Intelligent Sensor NetworksCross-Layer MAC Optimization for Wireless Sensor NetworksLow-Complexity Cross-Layer Designs for Intelligent Sensor NetworkSecure and Robust Localization in Wireless and Sensor NetworksResearch on Security and Information Processing in Sensor Networks Computational Intelligence in Data Mining for Embedded Intelligent Sensor Networks Multi-Modal Multi-Sensor System for Persistent SurveillanceSecurity Analysis of Encrypted Sensor NetworksSecure Network Coding for Sensor NetworksSelf-Monitoring of Secure Sensor Networks for Tactical BattlefieldIntegrated Test Bed for Embedded Intelligent Sensor NetworkAdvanced wireless network architectures exploration

Triple H & The Rock Respond To Director Michael Bay
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was forced to miss Monday night's Los Angeles premiere of his latest film, Pain & Gain, due to an emergency hernia operation earlier in the day. Speaking to E! Online on the red carpet, movie director Michael Bay suggested the injury stemmed from Johnson's wrestling exploits.
"He was pushing it too hard," Bay said. "[He] needs to grow up and stop wrestling 300-pound men."
Johnson responded to Bay's remark via Twitter this afternoon, writing,"Funny sh*t! Michael Bay joked I should stop wrestling 300lb men. I agree – I'll switch to women. #ALLPainNOGain."
Triple H also responded with the following tweet of his own:
"@Loug30: @TripleH @StephMcMahon @JRsBBQ Michael Bay saying @TheRock needs to grow up, and stop wrestling 300 pound men?" Who's 300lbs???
Michael Bay wants y'all to chill out. As you know, the Pain & Gain director said in a video interview that The Rock needed to "grow up and stop wrestling 300 pound men" after missing the film's premiere due to his WrestleMania injury. Apparently that incensed some people, as Bay felt the need to address the situation on his official website, posting:
"Wrestling fans, it was a joke said on Entertainment Tonight–with a laugh. You can see the clip for yourselves. The most important person to see the on-air joke was Dwayne. I love seeing The Rockwrestle. I hope he wrestles 10 more years. I joked on air because Dwayne was not at our LA premiere due to his injury."
Is Rosa Mendes In Danger Of Being Fired From WWE?
Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter
News surfaced this week that Milena Roucka, known as Rosa Mendes, was sent home from WWE's ongoing European tour. The sports-entertainment organization issued a statement to online news outlets stating, "Milena Roucka (Rosa Mendes) left the international tour for personal reasons."
According to sources, the 33-year-old had been "partying too much on the tour," with one company source describing her as "a mess." Talent and other employees were under the belief that she would probably not rejoin the company on the road for a while, but that she has not been suspended.
We're told the WWE Diva has a history of similar issues, which prompted company officials to send her back home.
Mendes addressed the matter Monday afternoon via Twitter, writing,"Just wanted to let all my #Mendesluverz that I'm ok. I had to take care of some personal matters. Thank you for all your support. Love you."
Mendes manages the real-life cousin tandem of Primo and Epico, and is considered the star of the group due to her appearance and charisma. Though Primo and Epico are well-liked within the company and considered good workers, the general feeling is that they lack charisma and therefore aren't heavily promoted.
Kurt Angle Says He Is 100% Healthy
Kurt Angle recently spoke with Pittsburgh's CBS Radio Affiliate, promoting Thursday's iMPACT! TV taping in Indiana, PA. Here are the highlights…
On His Health: "I'm good. I'm 100 percent healthy. "It's the first time I've felt this way in years."
On WWE Keeping TNA Out of Pittsburgh: "Due to some issues with the other company (WWE), we really couldn't book any venues in Pittsburgh," Angle said. "If it goes well, we'll be back in the next six months and do it all over again."
Cody Rhodes Wants To Face Morgan Freeman
Cody Rhodes has challenged Morgan Freeman to a wrestling duel.
When asked which celebrity he would like to wrestle, the WWE Superstar said the famous actor, film director, and narrator could lend his authoritative voice to the bout.
"Morgan Freeman, because I feel like I could win because he's old; although I'm sure he's tough," Rhodes told www.tv3.ie in an interview promoting WWE's annual November tour of the UK. "But then we could sell it and he could narrate the match, like he narrates everything. He could explain everything because he's such a great storyteller he could tell the story of me beating him. That would be wonderful."
While Rhodes initially pursued an acting career in Hollywood before officially entering the family business in 2006, he has no ambitions to launch a career now.
"I always said absolutely not, but if a man was to walk in and tell me, 'Alright, you're going to be in 'Fast and the Furious 35′, for instance, I'd be running with him," said Rhodes. "I would only want to do it as a pro wrestler, like Cody Rhodes from WWE in something, because my home is the ring, I don't really have any ambition to platform into another form of entertainment."
The Rock Denies Using Steroids For Pain & Gain
redit: USAToday.com
During a recent interview, The Rock was asked about using steroids to get in proper shape for Pain and Gain. Here is a excerpt from that interview…
"Oh, no," Johnson told USA Today when asked whether he used steroids, before quipping to co-star Mark Wahlberg, "How about you? You did all kinds." Wahlberg replied, "What?" Steroids? No. I don't (mess) with those."
Rock further commented on maintaining the bulk for so long, noting the following…
"It wasn't that easy. It was a lot of protein and growth naps (laughs). I would say the hardest thing was probably the schedule at that time that I had to keep between having a big match down in Miami for WrestleMania and preparing for this."
Hulk Hogan Gets A Temporary Restraining Order
Hulk Hogan's request for a temporary restraining order against Gawker.com was granted yesterday. The website will be forced to remove their excerpt of the sex tape that Hogan did with Heather Clem. Hogan will now continue with his claim that Gawker violated his rights by posting the tape.
The judge ordered that the tape be pulled from all of the website's affiliates and all copies of the video are to be given to Hogan. The cast was moved from Federal Court, where it wasn't successful, to State Court.
The Early WrestleMania 29 Buyrate #'s
According to Variety, preliminary numbers estimate thatWrestleMania 29 will reach around 1.2 million. They also report that the event will be the highest-grossing "WrestleMania" ever for WWE, earning over $72 million. An announcement from WWE is expected today.
TNA will return tonight with a live Impact Wrestling broadcast on Spike from Indiana, PA, featuring:
*TNA champion Bully Ray and Hulk Hogan go face to face.
*TNA Knockouts champion Velvet Sky vs. Mickie James.
*TNA Tag Team champions Chavo Guerrero & Hernandez vs. Bobby Roode & Austin Aries.
*Will AJ Styles choose between TNA and Aces & Eights?

A story rap with a message? Remember when rappers made these? Of course you don't. Spotted at RR. Freddie had this to say about the track.
"The song is basically a true story. I saw a lot of young females go down that path that leads to addiction, abuse and death. I always made sure that I lead my baby sister in the right direction due to the things I've seen in the streets. As black men we need to be more accountable for our women."

MIAMI (AP) - Health officials in South Florida say they're seeing a rise in the number of whooping cough.
The Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/OLOrD4 ) reports 26 cases have been confirmed in both Miami-Dade and Broward counties between Jan. 1 and July 9. Miami-Dade officials report another 10 probable cases.
Medical officials say the increase is likely caused by parents who have not had their children vaccinated.
Students in public schools are required to be vaccinated for whooping cough. There are exceptions, including for religious reasons.
Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, can merely be a bad cough in some people. It can linger for about three months. It can lead to pneumonia, seizures, shock and death.
Officials say children under 1 are most vulnerable

Does Dietary Fish Oil Supplementation Help Prevent Seizures?
In the April 2013 issue of the journal Epilepsy & Behavior, Drs. Taha and colleagues from the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, the Toronto Epilepsy Research Program and the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, present a provocative study in rats to assess what impact does fish oil supplementation have with regards to an animal model for seizures with potential implications for humans. The investigators surmise that complex partial seizures typically arise in areas of the brain known as the amygdala, and they tend to be resistant to anti-seizure medications. The researchers investigated the effects of chronic dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from fish oil on seizure thresholds in the amygdala and measured other blood levels of these fatty acids in the blood and the brain. The investigators found that fish oil supplementation significantly increased amydyloid after-discharge threshold as compared to controls at 3, 5 and 7 months after the start of supplementation. Fish oil supplementation also increased eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels. DHA significantly increased the latency to seizure onset in a particular seizure model whereas the EPA had no significant effect. The authors concluded that these observations potentially suggest that chronic dietary fish oil supplementation can raise focal seizure thresholds and this effect is likely mediated by DHA.

I'm running Kubuntu 12.04 on an HP Compaq nc6320 with an intel wireless card. This has worked well for quite a while. While on an extended trip, the wifi quit working - I could not get an IP address from the wifi hotspots anywhere. When I found a motel with a wired ethernet connection, I was able to do a system update and the wifi started working again. I don't know which update was responsible.
Later, the wifi quit working again. This time, the blue wifi light would not come on. This was new. When I got home, I swapped out the wifi card with one from another computer, but same thing. I then put in a PCMCIA wifi adapter (D-Link DWL-G630) and it would still not work.
Strangely enough, I can boot up any variation of Linux from a flash drive and the wifi adapter works automatically, so it's apparently not the hardware. But when I go back to the Kubuntu lspci shows no onboard wifi card, though there is one, and there is no wlan0 to be found on the system - only wlan1 for the adapter.
Anybody have any suggestions?
After much grasping at straws, it turns out that the wireless was disabled somehow. It finally recognized the wireless adaptors but wouldn't let them work. the command "sudo lshw -C network" showed "-network DISABLED". This even happened to the external adaptor that I added. I have no idea what caused it.
It turns out the solution was "sudo rfkill unblock all" to enable all internal switches - at least for now. In order to keep this short, I'll just refer you to the rfkill man page.

So Justin Beebs rumored baby mama says she has PROOF that Justin is the father of her 3 month old, but she's not saying what it is....
When her lawyer spoke with Justins security guard, the guard said that he was with Justin the entire time after his show on the night in question, that Justin never left his side and that no encounter with any woman, in fact, happened.
When Mariah Yeater was told this news, she said "no comment". Well, of course she did.
Johnny Depp is moving back to AMERICA. I never thought the day would come...
Johnny has been living in France with his "wife" and kids for some time now.....
It turns out, some French officials wanted Johnny and his family to become permanent residents of France, but if that happened...then Johnny Depp would have to pay income tax in BOTH America and France...so..Back to the USA he comes!
