But that is no reason for taking it easy. We want more. Through the years we have gained solid experience and considerable know-how when it comes to the value chain for sacks. This gives us the strength to both identify and solve problems with existing sacks and to develop new and innovative solutions. And now we have gathered everything under one roof – Billerud Sack Solutions. www.billerud.com/sacksolutions firstname.lastname@example.com 7 8 SACK KRAFT PAPER Scandinavian sack kraft paper is the strongest paper known to man. The main reason is the high quality raw material, with fibres from trees, which have grown very slowly due to the harsh Scandinavian climate. This makes the fibres extremely long and strong. 9 PAPER PROPERTIES AND TESTING METHODS Paper properties are measured in the machine TENSILE STRENGTH, kN/m (ISO 1924/3) direction (MD) and in the cross direction (CD), The tensile strength is the maximum force that the since there are significant differences in the paper will withstand before breaking. In the test a properties, depending on the orientated fibre stripe of 15 mm width and 100 mm length is used flow out of the headbox on the paper machine. with a constant rate of elongation. The tensile strength is one parameter in the measurement of the TEA, If the index of a certain property is needed, it should the most important sack paper property. In the same be calculated by dividing the actual value with the test the tensile strength, the stretch and the TEA value grammage for the paper in question. Please observe are obtained. that the units of the property then might change. WET TENSILE STRENGTH MD, PAPER TESTING CLIMATE (ISO 187) "WET STRENGTH", kN/m (ISO 3781) The paper sample must be conditioned in the standard After the test piece has been saturated, the tensile climate to reach equilibrium moisture before testing. strength is tested in the same way as for a dry paper. Standard climate for paper testing is 50% RH (relative For sack paper the test method is used for paper with humidity) and 23°C. The reason for conditioning is wet strength resin added. Before testing it must be that the paper properties are strongly dependent of the made sure that the wet strength has fully developed paper moisture. (depending on time and temperature). The relative wet strength is the relation between the wet tensile strength GRAMMAGE, g/m2 (ISO 536) (MD) and the dry tensile strength MD. The wet strength The grammage, basis weight, is measured by is important e.g. for root crop sacks and refuse sacks. weight and surface area. In on-line measurement the grammage is measured by beta radiation. 10 11 TENSILE ENERGY ABSORPTION (TEA), STRETCH, % (ISO 1924/3) J/m2 (ISO 1924/3) For sack paper the stretch is an important property. TEA is the main paper property for calculating the The stretch is a measurement of the elongation of the strength of the paper sack wall. This is verified by paper extended to rupture. The stretch is very important the correlation between TEA and drop tests. By for the TEA value. dropping a sack the filling goods will move when reaching the floor. This movement means a strain on the sack wall. To withstand this strain the TEA should be high, which means that a combination of high tensile strength and good stretch in the paper will then absorb the energy. TEAR STRENGTH (TEARING RESISTANCE), mN (ISO 1974) The tearing force is the force required continuing the tearing from an initial cut in a paper sheet. The tear strength is important for e.g. sewn sacks where the This diagram shows Tensile index MD Nm/g needle holes can be a source of an initial cut. that TEA is the combination of tensile strength and stretch. The TEA is the coloured area MD under the curve. Stretch % 0 2 4 6 12 BURST STRENGTH, kPa (ISO 2758) The burst strength is a measurement of the maximum pressure, which is possible to apply on the paper in a right angle to the surface. A bulging circular elastic diaphragm applies the pressure. COBB 60s, g/m2 (ISO 535) The sizing of the paper is measured as a Cobb-value. This is the amount of water absorbed by the paper surface in a given time. Most common is Cobb60 where the time is 60 sec. MOISTURE CONTENT, % (ISO 287) The moisture content is measured by weighing the sample before and after oven drying at 105°C. The moisture content is dependent on the surrounding climate and influences most of the paper properties. The moisture content is measured on-line in the paper machine. FRICTION COEFFICIENT, (NO UNIT) (ISO 15359) The paper friction is important for good palletising properties of the filled sacks. However the friction is very much influenced by printing and general handling. The friction coefficient can be measured in many different ways, but the ISO standard method is recommended. 13 AIR RESISTANCE GURLEY, s (ISO 5636/5) GLOSS, % The air resistance is a measurement of the time taken The gloss is the paper ability to reflect the incoming for 100 ml of air to pass through a specified area of the light in a specified angle. The paper gloss increases paper sheet. Short time means a highly porous paper, by claycoating and calendering of the surface. notice that this can be described as high air permeance as well as low air resistance. For valve sacks with OPACITY, % (ISO 2471) powdered goods a highly porous paper gives higher A high opacity is important for the appearance of the filling speed, smaller sack volume and a cleaner filling packaging, so that an underlying brown paper or the process. content of the bag is not to be visible. SURFACE ROUGHNESS In addition to the above tests your supplier can measure (BENDTSEN, PPS, SHEFFIELD, BEKK, ETC.) many other properties that are essential for specific The surface roughness will very much affect printing, applications. On pages 44-46 are the most important lamination and other demanding surface treatments. testing methods and conversion factors listed. However, roughness has no direct relation to friction. BRIGHTNESS, % (ISO 2470) High brightness gives a good general appearance to printing. The brightness is the amount of the incoming light that will be reflected by the paper surface. The measurement is made with blue light, wavelength 457 nm. 14 15 MOISTURE INFLUENCE Relative strength % Paper is a hydrophilic material. This means 140 that the moisture in the surrounding air influences the paper properties. 130 120 In a climate with high relative humidity the paper will Stretch have higher moisture content and opposite in a drier 110 climate. Therefore all paper testing should take place 100 in a standardised climate of 50% RH and 23°C. 90 The variations of TEA, tensile strength and stretch TEA with relative humidity in the air, are shown in the figure. 80 Stretch increases with high moisture, tensile strength 70 Tensile decreases. TEA has an optimum at 7 - 10% moisture contents in the paper, corresponding to 40 - 70% 60 relative humidity. But also at very low paper moisture, RH in the air (%) 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 for example after filling with hot cement of Moisture content 6 7 7.5 9 10 12 13 90 - 100°C, still a major part of the TEA is left. in paper, (%) 16 WRAPPING AND STORAGE The reason for wrapping the reels carefully is to avoid damage or contamination during handling. Additionally a PE-coated wrapping keeps the moisture content of the material at a stable level, this is important for good runability at the sack producer and end user. An optimised stock level should be held to ensure a fluent operation at the sack converter with regard to raw material demand as well as to delivery fluctuations. BASIC RULES » Keep the reel wrapping in place on the reels as long as possible. » Allow 24 hours storage time for the reels in machine/ printing room for conditioning, with the wrapping on. » Use a well-ventilated warehouse with preferably a temperature of 0 - 25 °C. » Avoid extreme atmosphere and temperature variations. » Handle stored materials with care. » Store reels on the end, and arrange reels so that their labels are clearly visible. » Keep cleanness and order in the warehouse with good access to the stored material. » Use clamp trucks for reel handling. » Train the personnel in handling techniques. 17 18 PAPER SACKS The fact that the paper quality is most important for the sack quality and the cost efficiency in the distribution system, is well known world-wide. The development of high quality extensible papers, with excellent cross direction properties, has made a major contribution in that respect. 19 PAPER SACKS STRENGTH For filling and handling systems in general we recommend balanced TEA-values according to the following table. HANDLING CONDITIONS NORMAL TOUGH Balanced TEA 330-390 400-450 for 25 kg - sack J/m2 Balanced TEA 430-490 500-550 for 50 kg - sack J/m2 Balanced TEA-values may be calculated from the machine and cross direction values by use of the following formulas. Geometrical TEA = (TEA MD x TEA CD) Balanced TEA could also be calculated as: 0.43 TEA MD + 0.57 TEA CD For a 4-ply sack These formulas are used for 0.37 TEA MD + 0.63 TEA CD For a 3-ply sack 0.31 TEA MD + 0.69 TEA CD For a 2-ply sack paper qualities where TEA CD 0.27 TEA MD + 0.73 TEA CD For a 1-ply sack shows lower value than TEA MD. 20 THE IMPORTANCE OF TEA FOR THE From the diagram we can see the following: SACK CONSTRUCTION. NONPERFORATED SACKS » To reach 400 J/m² when a low quality paper is used with a balanced TEA-index TEA demand on the sack, J/m2 of 2.25 J/g, the sack must be made of 2-ply 600 80 70 2x9 0 2x8 0 0 of 90 g/m² each. 3x 3x 2x7 550 » High quality paper, with a balanced TEA- 500 1x12 0 index of 2.9 J/g, makes it possible to use 450 0 1x11 2 ply of 70 g/m²-paper for the same total 400 Number of plies sack strength. 350 and grammage, g/m2 300 » A single-ply sack, for 25 kg goods, can be 250 made of a 110 g/m2 paper with a TEA-index 2,0 2,1 2,2 2,3 2,4 2,5 2,6 2,7 2,8 2,9 3,0 3,1 3,2 3,3 3,4 3,5 3,6 3,7 3,8 3,9 4,0 4,1 4,2 4,3 of 3.65 J/g. The TEA-value will then be 400 J/m2. TEA-index balanced, J/g. Today Billerud deliver sack paper grades with very high balanced TEA index. This means there are great possibilities to reduce packaging material by use of Billerud papers. 21 CALCULATIONS FOR PAPER SACKS THE SACK STRENGTH AND MATERIAL REDUCTION WILL BE BEST CALCULATED WITH THE BILLERUD SACK CALCULATION TOOL, A PROGRAMME SUITABLE FOR MOST COMPUTERS AND AVAILABLE FOR BILLERUD CUSTOMERS.

Billerud sack paper is among the strongest paper in the world. The main reason is a high-quality fibre raw material from trees which have grown slowly in a harch Scandinavian climate. 23 POROSITY FOR VALVE SACKS The ability of sack paper to allow air to pass refining (low consistency) is that this also makes the is often specified as Gurley value in seconds. paper less porous. High consistency refining develops Following the increased demand of high the stretch of the paper without reducing the porosity filling speeds, the demand for porous papers to any appreciable extent. The latest development is the has increased, i.e. a decrease of the Gurley production of highly porous papers in combination levels from 20 sec. to 3 sec. over the last 20 with very high strength values. years. Billerud QuickFill papers have 3 - 5 sec. Gurley. Sacks filled with powdered materials FREE-FILM AND POROUS PAPERS like cement, gypsum, clays, fine-grained sugar, When a free-film, perforated or slitted, is incorporated etc, require a paper with very good porosity. in the sack construction, the total porosity of the sack will be reduced. In such cases it seems unnecessary ADVANTAGES OF HIGH POROSITY PAPER to use highly porous papers. That is however not true. The sack will be exposed to less strain during filling, Extensive studies show that a combination of free-film therefore a lower sack breakage could be expected. and porous papers give an acceptable permeability The air escapes quicker from the filled sacks and of the sack, especially when the film has a rather therefore the size of the sack can be reduced; open area. experience shows that a reduction of 4 - 10 % is possible. Perforation of the sack is no longer necessary, The water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) increases which then reduces dusting at filling and gives a better with the open area of the film. Therefore it will be a environment and cleaner sacks. Perforation of the sack compromise between sack permeability and WVTR reduces the TEA value by at least 10 - 20%. value. A very high porosity of the paper, and a somewhat less open free-film, may result in a sack with sufficient PRODUCTION OF POROUS PAPER porosity, but still acceptable protection from moisture. Normally the strength of a paper is increased by refining of the fibres. The disadvantage of traditional 24 25 PRINTABILITY AND APPEARANCE Most paper sacks are printed on the outer colours and paper surface. The skill of the printing ply. The main reason for printing industrial operators is of course also very important. Most sacks is to identify the content, but there is industrial sacks are printed in 1 - 4 colours. For more an increasing demand for more information demanding applications, such as consumer sacks, and improved appearance. For consumer process pre-printing is mostly used. sacks a high quality finish is an important commercial factor. FLEXOGRAPHIC PRINTING MACHINES Flexography is the fastest growing printing method. The dominant printing method in the sack industry is For modern flexo presses the technology, efficiency flexography. For simple 1 - 3 colour prints, sack paper and capacity is very much improved.

Older flexo presses can still give The print quality depends on the right combination good print quality if the machines are well maintained of the artwork, printing press, plates, anilox rollers, and the anilox rollers regularly changed. 26 PRINTING INKS Also brown sack paper gives a good print quality but Most flexo printers use water based inks. In-house when lighter colours, half tone printing and improved colour blending systems and viscosity control are total appearance is required, white sack papers are useful tools. Where friction properties are critical, recommended. The paper surface represents the white it will help to reduce the area covered by ink, and colour and together with the black and the three to modify the ink composition. process colours; cyan, magenta and yellow, a four- colour process picture can be printed. For more PRINTING PLATES demanding process printing, then calendered or Photopolymer plates have gradually replaced rubber clay-coated paper grades should be selected due to plates. For high quality process printing the trend is to the optimised surface properties. reduce the plate thickness. The plate manufacturers have materials with different hardness. For rough substrates a softer plate gives improved print quality. PAPER GRADES Billerud has a wide range of sack kraft papers for various sack constructions as well as printing demands. For good printing results the paper grade selected should have the right appearance, formation, opacity and a generally suitable print surface. 27 28 TYPES OF SACKS There are two principal types of paper sacks, open mouth sacks and valve sacks. They may all be of one or more plies and may incorporate barrier plies for specific applications. The types may be summarised as follows: 29 VALVE SACKS VALVED PASTED When opening the sewing line the end user has easy Flat sacks from flush cut or stepped end tubes. access to the content. The bottoms have a hexagonal shape. The flush cut tube is the simplest way to produce a sack with folded Valved Pasted and pasted ends. The bottoms must be capped with a and Sewn rectangular paper sheet to give them sufficient strength, to improve sift-proofing and to give a flat surface, which may be used for identification data, etc. Valved Pasted VALVED SEWN Flat or gusseted sack from flush cut tubes only. The valve is inserted by a manual operation. The shape of the filled sack is not as good as the pasted type. Valved Sewn VALVED PASTED AND SEWN Flat sacks generally from flush cut tubes. This type of sack allows for valve filling at one end and sewing, with easy opening, at the other end. A carrying handle may be incorporated into the sewing line, but this is not appropriate if the package exceeds 15 kg in weight. 30 SINGLE PLY SACKS The TEA-values of sack papers have been increased due to intensive development work during the years. The 2x70 g/m2 sack is now standard in many countries. A further reduction of grammage may however bring some disadvantages like unstable convertability in the sack production lines. An interesting alternative is then to make 1-ply sacks of 110 or 120 g/m2 paper. Billerud has therefore developed suitable paper grades for this application; White and Brown QuickFill Single. VALVE DESIGNS The valves that may be incorporated into sacks are many and varied, they may be internal or external. Different types of material can be used, for example paper, PE, non-woven and textile. Special coatings are also in use to allow the valve to be heat-sealed using hot air, high frequency or ultra sonic. External valves may be provided with a thumbhole notch to make their opening easier. After filling external valves can be tucked by hand into the pocket formed by the fold. If necessary some valves may be made narrower than the sack end. 31 OPEN MOUTH SACKS OPEN MOUTH SEWN OPEN MOUTH PINCH CLOSED Flat or gusseted from a flush cut tube. This type of sack is easily Flat or gusseted from a stepped end tube. This type of sack may filled using simple equipment. They are suitable for powdered, be used as an alternative to a sewn sack. It may be preferred granular products, cereals and root crops. where a hermetically sealed package is required. If necessary the open end can be sealed by reactivating a pre-applied coating of hotmelt adhesive. The inside ply, if polymer coated, can be Open Mouth Sewn heat sealed to prevent ingress of moisture. This type of sack is particularly useful for packaging hygroscopic materials.

This type of sack can be made flat area for the addition of extra identification data. with an "Easy Opening" closure whilst still giving a very good sift-proof closure. OPEN MOUTH S.O.S. The sack is always gusseted. This sack is produced on Open Mouth Pasted a specific machine combining a tuber and a bottomer. Double Fold The bottom has a rectangular shape. S.O.S. means Self-Opening Satchel. Open mouth S.O.S. OPEN MOUTH PASTED From a flat tube only, generally flush cut. The bottom has a hexagonal shape, but when filled the sacks have rectangular bottoms. TOP CLOSURE OF OPEN MOUTH SACKS All open mouth sacks may have their tops closed by Open Mouth Pasted sewing. However pinch sacks are generally closed by reactivation of a pre-applied hotmelt adhesive and this requires the use of special equipment. 33 NORMS FOR PAPER SACKS MEASUREMENT OF EMPTY SACKS DEFINITIONS AND SYMBOLS: (EN 26591 –1) » Length of sack (a): distance between the This norm specifies the method of measuring the transverse edges of the flat sack. dimensions of empty paper sacks.

These might then be transported world-wide by a number of different methods. It is necessary to be aware of any hazardous properties of products being packed and of any relevant National or International Regulations. The following list gives an indication of some bodies that produce regulations. » United Nations: The recommendation on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Commonly called the "Orange Book". » Forschungsgemeinschaft Kraftpapiere und Papiersäcke E.V. Germany. » FDA, Food and Drug Administration, USA. » BfR, Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung, Germany. » IATA, International Air Transport Association. » ADR, European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road. » Pira International, UK. 36 37 38 TESTS FOR SACKS Drop testing of filled sacks until they break can be used to compare the relative strength of different sack constructions. This is normally made during the product development and when establishing a new sack specification. 39 DROP TESTS BUTT DROP TESTS (EN 27965-1 OR ISO 7965/1) Drop testing of filled sacks onto one end from a constant height, or regularly increasing height, will test the strength of component plies of a sack but will not test the strength of the end closures. The progressive drop height method will start from 0.3 m with an increment of 0.05 m after each drop. FLAT DROP TESTS (EN 27965-1 OR ISO 7965/1) Drop testing of filled sacks onto the main faces from a constant height, or regularly increasing height, will test the strength of the end closures as well as of the component plies. The drops will be made alternatively on the front face and on the back face of the sack. The progressive height method will start from 0.85 m with an increment of 0.15 m after each drop. 40 40 FILLING TESTS SACK POROSITY TEST Porosity of manufactured valve sacks can be tested with special equipment by blowing air into the sack. The valved sack is mounted on an expanding spout, which ensures no leakage of air. Airflow is measured with rotameters at different pressure drops. FIELD TRIALS When paper sacks are being introduced into an entirely new market area, and particularly if multiple handling is involved, it is advisable to carry out at least a small initial field trial. Then all involved parties have the possibility to follow and evaluate the technical performance. 41 FRICTION AND PALLETISING To get good stability of the pallets when trans- surfaces should be minimised and "friction inks" ported a certain minimum level of friction is should be used; i.e. inks developed to give a minimum required.

Go Red for Women 2014
Too many women die each year because they are unaware that heart disease is their No. 1 killer. One in three women suffers in silence, and almost one woman dies every minute of this largely preventable disease. Together, we can bring a voice to this silent killer to help save lives. Make it your mission to speak up about heart disease. Save lives using the power of your own voice.
The 2014 Go Red for Women Luncheon celebrates New York City women joining together to raise awareness and funds to support education and research programs specifically targeted to address heart disease and stroke in women—their No. 1 and No. 3 killers.
I participated in a panel discussion of the media and women's heart health, and then our luncheon featured Chelsea Clinton on the Clinton Global Initiative's efforts to support cardiac health through education on childhood obesity. Over 1,300 people attended this important event which raises awareness and funds to a great cause.

Sith Warrior Storyline
Talk0this wiki
Contents |
The Warrior's story starts on Korriban. The warrior must partake in the trials to become a true Sith. It is revealed that the warrior was in fact, summoned to Korriban by an influential overseer named Tremel, also the headmaster of the Sith Academy. The warrior was brought to Korriban early from the training grounds for younger initiates on the planet of Ziost, but was taken to the former months ahead of schedule because of an enormous potential sensed by previous masters.
With Tremel as this warrior's new master, the latter engaged in many rigorous trials to prove themselves worthy of becoming a true Sith, such as finding an ancient warblade, defeating a vicious beast inside the tomb of Marka Ragnos, and sitting in the judgement of three prisoners who posed a threat to the sith acolytes at the academy. The Sith Warrior, after engaging in these activities, caught the attention of a visiting Sith Lord by the name of Darth Baras, who summoned them to his chambers for inspection. Baras, being pleased of what he saw, decided to make the future Sith Lord his prospective apprentice, much to the dismay of the warrior's rival, Vemrin. The warrior was given new tasks to prove their worth to Baras, in hopes of becoming his formal apprentice. One of these tasks involved getting rid of their old master, Overseer Tremel.
Baras gave the warrior one final task: go into the tomb of Naga Sadow to find an ancient lightsaber. For this task, Baras gave his hopeful apprentice a Twi'lek slave girl with knowledge of Korriban's tombs, Vette, who helped break into the tomb of Naga Sadow and retrieve the arcane weapon. The Sith Warrior confronted Vemrin in the tomb, as he coveted the blade for himself which resulted in a duel that resulted in the death of the warrior's adversary. After returning to Baras, this warrior was made Baras' formal apprentice and tasked, along with Vette, to go by shuttle to the Imperial capital world of Dromund Kaas. The warrior obliged and met the Sith Lord in the Dark Citadel of the Sith Emperor.
The Sith Warrior was then given several missions by Baras that involved infiltrating and assassinating many important political and military figures in the empire. After helping their master interrogate a Republic spy, the sith warrior was sent into the Dark Temple to retrieve an ancient torture device that would be beneficial to the inquisition. The spy, before dying, revealed information regarding an extremely gifted Jedi padawan being trained by one of Baras' oldest adversaries. Crucial information was being held by two of Baras' spies, contacts on the worlds of Balmorra and Nar Shaddaa. With this new information, the warrior was dispatched to the planets to silence these two agents before the vital information slipped into the wrong hands.
Chapter 1
Darth Baras discovers that a Jedi Padawan, under the guidance and protection of an old rival, Jedi Master Nomen Karr has been somehow able to discover elements of his spy network in the Republic. He sets the Sith Warrior on the task of first cleaning up the spy network, and then to seeking out and destroying the padawan.
To begin the task of cleaning up the network, Darth Baras send his new apprentice to Balmorra. On Balmorra, the Sith Warrior meets Malavai Quinn, an intelligence officer who will help with their mission. Their mission is to kill a Balmorran resistance general, Commander Rylon, who is really one of Darth Baras´s agents. The first task is taking down the general's son who is held in captivity by the resistance. The Warrior must fight the jailer and a squad of Republic troopers before they can get to the son. Then, the Sith Warrior must either wipe the son's memory or kills him.
Next, a similar cleanup is required on Nar Shaddaa. This time however, Darth Baras's burned agents have fallen under the protection of Lord Rathari, an upstart Sith Lord. The Dark Council has placed him in charge of their interests on Nar Shaddaa, so Darth Baras's apprentice must act without drawing unwanted attention.
With the primary cleanup handled, the Sith Warrior is sent on the trail of the Jedi Padawan. Intelligence has revealed that the padawan spent some time training on Tatooine. With local guidance from tracker Sharack Breev, the Sith Warriors follow the trail to Master Yonlach. Mastar Yonlach is a veteran of the Jedi Order and a great teacher. He was apparantly able to bring out a special gift of the padawan, the ability to see the true nature of a person, be it Light or Dark. The Sith Warrior chooses (with relating dark or light side points) kill Master Yonlach or not-both strike the first emotional blow to the young padawan who had bonded with the Jedi Master.
Having discovered that the padawan was originally from Alderaan the Sith Warrior is directed to the planet and ordered to seek out and destroy any roots related to the padawan. The plan is to continue striking emotional blows to draw out the padawan so that she can be eliminated. The unscrupulous Duke Kendoh had been tasked by Darth Baras to uncover the padawan's connection on Alderaan. He leads the Sith Warrior to House Organa. This brings the Sith Warrior into a confrontation with General Gesselle Organa. From her, the padawan's identity, Jaesa Willsaam, is learned as well as the whereabout of her parents.
After confronting Jaesa's parents, the padawan is finally drawn out. She secretly contacts the Sith Warrior and schedules a rendezvous in the Distant Outer Rim. The meeting, however, doesn't go as planned. Master Nomen Karr having discovered the planned meeting, instead sets a couple of Jedi in ambush. After dispatching the Jedi (again with a light/dark side of the force choices about both if to fight them at all and if to kill one or both of them), a distraught Jaesa again contacts the Sith Warrior, pleading for an end to his chase. At the same time, Master Nomen Karr contacts Darth Baras, calling him out to settle it between themselves.
Darth Baras sends the Sith Warrior in his place to Nomen Karr's hideout on Hutta. Finally, the Sith Warrior removes the last emotional support Jaesa had left. Rather than destroy Jaesa, the Sith Warrior takes advantage of Jaesa's fragile state to sway her to join him. This marks be begining of a subplot to either to break Jaesa and turn her to the dark side or to recruit her-and join the Warrior if he or she is-as a Sith with secret leanings for the light side. Darth Baras upon discovering is surprised, but as a result of the turn of events bestows on the Sith Warrior the title of Lord.
Chapter 2
After a brief break, to enjoy being given the title Sith Lord, Darth Baras sends the Sith Warrior back to Nar Shaddaa. Darth Baras's master on the Dark Council, Darth Vengean is looking for a way to break the truce between the Republic and the Empire and bring the two back into a full fledged war. A Republic general is meeting with some Empire traitors on Nar Shaddaa, and Darth Baras feels that killing the general might be the key.
Upon successfully eliminating General Karastace Gonn, Darth Baras is given the go ahead to begin Plan Zero, which involves eliminating all the top leaders of the Republic military. Darth Baras has six targets in mind. Four of the targets are on Taris. While Darth Baras tracks the location of the final two, he sends the Sith Warrior to eliminate the targets on Taris.
On Taris, Warrior meets Moff Hurdenn, who quickly assigns Lieutenant Pierce to assisting his task. Lieutenant Pierce will provide intel from the Command Center while Warrior working on the targets. Your told these four generals make up the Republic War Trust. The War Trust are four Republic generals that rarely are in one place. One by one, Warrior eliminates them and in the end Lieutenant Pierce is assigned permanently to Warrior's service.
With the War Trust eliminated, Plan Zero was well underway. Baras had tracked down Warrior's next target in Quesh orbit, Admiral Monk from Republic fleet. Warrior pursues the admiral inside Darth Vengean's flagship, but has to follow him to the Quesh surface. In there admiral reveals to the Warrior that he was actually one of Baras' spies. This distraughts the Warrior but he keeps serving Baras.
Warrior's final target is Jedi Master Xerender, currently located in the frozen wastes of Hoth. Because Xerender had enlisted the aid of local Talz, Warrior soon finds himself tracking down same targets along with a bloodthirsty Talz named Broonmark. Their first meeting isn't warm but eventually they decide cooperate. Eventually Warrior learns Xerender's goal on Hoth: to awaken a long forgotten Jedi Master Wyellett from ice. Baras knows Wyellett from a long time ago, because they fought once and Wyellett defeated him and tried to turn Baras to light side, which he refused. Now Warrior has to eliminate both Xerender and Wyellett. He finds them both inside the wreck of the Star of Coruscant and with Broonmarks help, he defeats them both. With targets dead, Plan Zero is complete.
Warrior returns to Dromund Kaas to be congratulated by Baras. Baras then reveals that starting the war with the Republic again was not the only goal of the Plan Zero, but it would also serve as method for him to ascend to the Dark Council. The only thing standing in his way was Baras' superior, Darth Vengean, Baras offers Warrior an opportunity to kill Vengean and then take a rightful place as Baras' right hand. Warrior agrees and Baras orders Warrior to rescue Vengean's former apprentice, Lord Draagh, so that they can destroy Vengean together. Warrior succeeds in freeing Draagh and together they defeat Vengean, allowing Baras to ascend to the Dark Council
Chapter 3
After ascending to the Dark Council, Baras gives the Warrior a new task: to destroy a Republic plan to thwart Imperial mining oprations on Quesh. Warrior travels to Quesh and encounters Republic forces. It seems that the Warrior arrived too late, because the bomb they set is ready to blow. However, their remote detonator doesn't work and Warrior quickly eliminates the Republic forces. Warrior is then contacted by Lord Draagh, who first congratulates Warrior for a job well done, but then reveals that their detonator didn't work because it was changed to wrong one. The right one was currently in Draagh's hand and he was set to blow the bomb. The Warrior asks him who gave him the order to kill him, and Draagh reveals that it was Darth Baras. The warrior swears revenge, but then Draagh sets off the bomb. Warrior barely survives, but Baras and Draagh believe him to be dead.
As the Warrior struggles in the edge of consciousness, he faintly sees two shady figures in front of him, talking about him. They say that if he is the right one, he will make it on his own. Later, Warrior awakens and follows the figures trail to an Imperial outpost. In there the Warrior meets the figures who reveal themselves to be the Emperor's Servants One and Two, the Emperor's Hand. They tell the Warrior that the Emperor himself has chosen him to become the Emperor's Wrath, the Emperor's personal enforcer. Warrior gladly accepts, because it also gives him an opportunity to face Baras. The Hand then tells the Wrath that when Baras rose to the Dark Council, he made a false claim that he is the Voice of the Emperor, a person whom through the Emperor speaks. All the members of the Council had accepted this claim, save one, Darth Vowrawn. The Hand explains that Vowrawn's survival is paramount as well as weakening of Baras' position. To this end, the Hand sends Wrath to oversee this to happen. Wrath's first task is on Belsavis.
The Republic prison planet Belsavis had become a target of personal interest to Baras because he had learned that the Republic imprisoned his own sister, Darth Ekkage, there. Wrath's task was simple: eliminate Darth Ekkage. However, the Hand didn't know where Ekkage was being held, so Wrath had to track down a Baras' rescue party led by a Sith Lord in order to find her. While tracking down the party, Wrath encountered a Jedi Knight who too was looking for Ekkage. Although Wrath was suspicious about this, he had no choice but to cooperate with the Jedi. The Jedi suggested that they also eliminate Ekkage's followers who too were imprisoned along with her. Wrath agreed. Finally they eliminated all the followers and found Ekkage's holding chamber and the Sith Lord who led the rescue party. Ekkage was thrilled to return to Baras, but Wrath and the Jedi defeated her and the Sith Lord. Ekkage's death will certainly infuriate Baras and weaken his position. Wrath and the Jedi parted ways (or Wrath kills the Jedi), and he returned back to his ship for more instructions from the Emperor.
The Hand congratulated Wrath of his success, but there was no time to rest. Wrath's next task was to go to Hoth and ensure that the Empire's elite Armageddon Battalion is transferred from their worthless position on Hoth to the main battlefront on Corellia. Baras had sent the Battalion to Hoth in order to discredit Darth Vowrawn. Wrath was able to "persuade" the battalion to leave for Corellia. While on Hoth space station with the intention of leaving, Wrath encountered Baras' new apprentice, Lord Draagh. Draagh had knocked out Wrath's entire crew and was all set to kill him, but not before mentioning that Baras had sensed his sisters death and learned from that that his old apprentice was still alive. Wrath and Draagh fought a fierce battle, but eventually Wrath was able to push Draagh to the bottom of the catwalk in which they were fighting. The whole place was on fire and Draagh was burned alive.
Wrath returned to his ship and the Hand was troubled that Baras now knew that he had survived. Now it was all the more important to stop Baras fast. The Hand knew that Baras will be taken down on Corellia, but before that Wrath had important mission to take care of in the mysterious planet of Voss. According to the Hand the real Voice of the Emperor had traveled to Voss and had gone missing there. It was up to Wrath fo find him and make sure Baras doesn't get the chance to eliminate him, as Baras too had laid his eyes on Voss.
To start his search, Wrath first had to make contact with a Voss Mystic whom The Voice had last time seen with. Wrath met the Mystic and he said that in order to find him, Wrath needs to find an amulet that belonged to the Mystic. Part of it was left in the Shrine of Healing while another part was with some Voss commandos in the Gormak Lands. Eventually Wrath managed to obtain the amulet and the Mystic revealed that the Voice had traveled to the Dark Heart in the Nightmare Lands. Wrath journeyd there and found the Voice. At that point the Voice was a Voss too, but as it was, he spoke with the Emperor's voice. Wrath kneeled before him, and the Emperor was pleased that he made it. Then he said that this Voice must be destroyed, and that only Wrath can do it. Wrath fought fiercly and destroyed the Voice. Before the Emperor left from the body, he was extremely pleased that his Wrath had performed admirably. Wrath then returned to his ship, but then he received a warning from the Mystic. He had seen a vision in which one of Wrath's followers will try to betray him. Wrath took this warning seriously.
The Hand then urged Wrath to travel to Corellia to strike the final blows against Baras. But before he could set out, Malavai Quinn said that Baras had set up a new type of sensor net, that automatically sends a destroying signal to Imperial fleet if a ship entering the system is not authorized to enter. To get through, Wrath first needed proper codes. Malavai learned of an Imperial dreadnaught near Voss that had the needed codes. Wrath and Malavai traveled to the ship. When they arrived Malavai revealed that the sensor net was only a ruse, so that he could lure Wrath into a trap he had set up. The reason Malavai did this was because his only real master was Darth Baras. Malavai brought in droids to destroy Wrath. Unfortunately for him, Wrath defeated the droids easily, and Malavai realised his mistake. Malavai expected the Wrath to kill him, but Wrath spared him and said that he will be okay if he stays loyal to Wrath from now on. Malavai accepted the offer and they resumed course to Corellia.
Baras' main goal on Corellia was to kill Darth Vowrawn. The Hand had learned that Baras had sent three assassins to kill him along with one exceptional, who was not yet in the system. Wrath had to eliminate these assassins to ensure Vowrawn's survival. He was able to kill two assassins, but third managed to slip through. He had no other choice but to race into Vowrawn's headquarters and warn him of the impending danger. However, Vowrawn had learned of Baras' assassination attempt on him, and he and his guards mistook Wrath as the assassin. Wrath had to get to Vowrawn even if he has to kill all of his guards. He finally reached Vowrawn and tried to explain that he came to protect him, but Vowrawn didn't listen. He ordered his guards to kill the Wrath. That's when the assassin made his move, but Wrath's reflexes were faster and he was able to save Vowrawn from him. Vowrawn then apologized Wrath for misunderstanding. Wrath suggested that Vowrawn evacuate himself to Wrath's ship and assured that his crew will keep him safe. Vowrawn accepted and informed Wrath what he should do to cripple Baras here. Baras had spies inside the enemy. First eliminate them. After dispatching them Wrath's ship was attacked by the exceptional assassin. Wrath's crew wasn't able to defeat him, but at least they managed to get Vowrawn out unharmed. Wrath went to meet with Vowrawn. He then revealed the most critical instrument to Baras' plans: a Sith being known only as The Entity. Baras had been using it for years for his plans, and if he should lose it, he would be finished. Vowrawn knew a ritual to free it. Together they traveled to Baras' base and found The Entity. But they were being followed by the last assassin, who, to Wrath's surprise, was revived and cybernetically enhanced Lord Draagh. Draagh not only wanted to kill Vowrawn but also get revenge on Wrath. Wrath and Draagh fought once again, and although Draagh had become more powerful, he was no match to The Emperor's Wrath. Wrath killed him and Vowrawn released The Entity. With Baras' plans on Corellia thrown into disarray, the only thing that was left was to deal with Baras in person. Vowrawn figured that he will attempt to hold on to his false claim as the Voice of the Emperor in front of the Dark Council. This gave Wrath an excellent opportunity to prove his claims to be false and destroy him.
Wrath traveled to Korriban and Vowrawn made certain that he will be brought in front of the Council. As Vowrawn expected, Baras still hold on to his false claim. Vowrawn introduced the newest arrival and Darth Marr demanded to know who he is. Wrath then claimed that he is The Emperor's Wrath. Baras laughed at that claim, but Marr decided that Wrath and Baras duel, and the victor will officially receive his claim as true. The duel was long and fierce and Baras taunted Wrath every now and then, but eventually Wrath managed to defeat him. In his weakened state, he demanded that the Council destroy Wrath and give him what he is, but the Council was now convinced that Baras was not the Voice of the Emperor. Depending on conversation choices, Wrath can either kill Baras, or he will be expelled from the Council and imprisoned. Finally, the entire Dark Council rose and bowed to the one and only Emperor's Wrath.

Hyndman Leaves The College 'Comfort Zone'
by Soccer America

Where does Johnny Cueto rank against other ace pitchers?

Re: Where does Johnny Cueto rank against other ace pitchers?
I think some similarities are fair with zimmerman, but Cueto is good at things that bring his value above his FIP which is why his ERA outperforms FIP.
He's become a big time groundball pitcher.
Zimmerman 357 IP, 469 GB, 626 FB, 13 SB, 8 CS, 24 DP
Cueto 373 IP, 588 GB, 538 FB, 2 SB, 13 CS, 32 DP
So while the K,BB, and FIP show why Zimmerman and Cueto are similair with the OBP, I think the GB rates show why Cueto exceeds him in the slugging/ERA side. It doesn't hurt that Cueto has become one of the best in baseball at controlling the basepads. So if guys don't get XBH, and they don't run on Cueto, it becomes much tougher to score. That's why I don't think it's a fluke that he continually outperforms his FIP.
Zimmerman 357 IP, .296 OBP, .383 SLG, .679 OPS
Cueto 373 IP, .297 OBP, .340 SLG, .636 OPS

Gordon Flake, a Korea specialist and executive director of the Mansfield Foundation in Washington, is a regular visitor to South Korea and the Northeast Asia region.
As new administrations in Seoul and Tokyo take tentative steps to improve relations following a deterioration of ties last year, Mr. Flake spoke at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in Seoul on Tuesday about the importance of the bilateral relationship for both countries, the U.S., and security in the region.
In the second of two parts, Gordon Flake, executive director of the Mansfield Foundation in Washington, talks more about the importance of North Korea's recent uranium enrichment disclosure and the prospects for the six-party talks, the diplomatic process that began in 2003 to try to persuade Pyongyang to give up its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
L. Gordon Flake, executive director of the Mansfield Foundation in Washington, is one of the most ardent and plugged-in followers of the diplomatic scene in northeast Asia. Fluent in Korean, he's been to Pyongyang several times and visits Seoul almost every month.
For politicians and diplomats in both the U.S. and South Korea, he's a trusted adviser and straight-talker who cuts through the diplomatic fog.
Here's the first of a two-part interview held Thursday in Seoul.
Korea Real Time provides sharp analysis and insight into what's making news on the Korean peninsula. We chronicle the growing pains of South Korea — a country that has skyrocketed into the club of the world's richest nations but now faces significant headwinds, and shine a spotlight on one of the world's biggest geopolitical flashpoints: North Korea. Drawing on the expertise of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires, we'll tell the stories behind the headlines in business, economics, politics, culture and lifestyle.

We're barely underway with the Resort 2012 schedule, so maybe it's a little premature to be talking about definitive directions just yet, but what the hell. Let's put our necks on the block and declare the season thus far to be heavy—very heavy—on a kind of hyper-decorative athleticism, with sportif clothes (scuba-seamed jackets, utilitarian shirts and pants, and graphic folds on dresses, a kind of dressmaker's twist on go-faster stripes) rendered in baroque prints, and sparkling sequins, and big, bold washes of color (anything in the electric/neon/intense tonal range, well, that will do nicely).
And just in time to bolster that opinion, along comes Diane von Furstenberg, showing atop a building just a two-second sprint from the High Line in the Meatpacking District. Her collection was essentially slick, sparkly sports looks, in a quickety-quick runway presentation on a cavernous white space decorated with black floral drawings, and 27 white loudspeakers. (Thankfully, they were—if this reviewer's eardrums are anything to go by—merely decorative, and not actually blasting the show's sound track.)
Von Furstenberg, aided and abetted by creative director Yvan Mispelaere, was variously thinking about surfers, snowboarders, and "beach networkers" (I guess that explains all the non-active spangled pieces to party in), which essentially means: layers of graphic-print silk jumpsuits, sweaters with neon zippers, sequin tops with short skirts in orange or hot pink, some graphically stenciled, and all worn with kitten-heeled or high wedge sandals with thick ankle straps. The question is, of course, why now? Surely has to be more than a foreshadowing of next year's Olympic Games in London? Well, think of this as a transitional moment between minimalist rigor and maximalist impulses, and because sportiness—even when it's as amped up as it was here and elsewhere—projects a kind of sunny healthiness (and sensuality) that just feels right for the time.

HealthyHuntington.org needs to change the date of the marathon to 1 week later. One of the biggest features of the race is the finish on the football field and unfortunately due to television programming possibilities we cannot confirm the use of the stadium at this time for November 4th. So we had to make the decision to move it a week later. We understand some of you have already entered. Please e-mail us if you need re-imbursement for this.
I will put more up on the website in the near future. Sorry for the confusion everyone.

Sexual reproduction involves epigenetic reprogramming [1] comprising DNA methylation [2] and histone modifications [3,4,5,6]. In addition, dynamics of HISTONE3 (H3) variant H3.3 upon fertilization are conserved in animals, suggesting an essential role [7,8,9]. In contrast to H3, H3.3 marks actively transcribed regions of the genome and can be deposited in a replication-independent manner [10,11]. Although H3 variants are conserved in plants, their dynamics during fertilization have remained unexplored. We overcame technical limitations to live imaging of the fertilization process in Arabidopsis thaliana and studied dynamics of the male-gamete-specific H3.3 [12] and the centromeric Histone Three Related 12 (HTR12) [13]. The double-fertilization process in plants produces the zygote and the embryo-nourishing endosperm [14]. We show that the zygote is characterized by replication-independent removal of paternal H3.3 and homogeneous incorporation of parental chromatin complements. In the endosperm, the paternal H3.3 is passively diluted by replication while the paternal chromatin remains segregated apart from the maternal chromatin (gonomery). Hence epigenetic regulations distinguish the two products of fertilization in plants. H3.3-replication-independent dynamics and gonomery also mark the first zygotic divisions in animal species [5,15]. We thus propose the convergent selection of parental epigenetic imbalance involving H3 variants in sexually reproducing organisms.

The concept is nice--but at over $7 per hour or $73 per day a regular car rental would seem to make more sense. I do know of one KOA near Mount Rushmore that has rental cars available. -------------------- Regards,

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin says the roofs of at least three homes in Nicholas County collapsed under the weight of heavy snow.
No injuries were reported in the Tuesday incidents. West Virginia National Guard troops helped the residents of the homes get to local shelters.
On Monday, a 40-year-old motorist in Tucker County was killed in a storm-related wreck.
Tomblin says there's been no word of additional deaths or any serious injuries.
The governor is urging residents to stay off the roads. That will prevent mishaps and allow National Guard, Division of Highways and Division of Forestry crews to clear felled trees for utility repair workers.
Tomblin says forecasters estimate that the storm's brunt should clear the state by nightfall.

A square is green. All shapes and colors are abstractions. All computer programs are built with abstractions. Programs are beautiful but their construction is not.

Nokia Siemens Networks achieves world record copper DSL speeds
Paris, France – 25 October 2010
"Phantom DSL" reaches 825 megabits per second over 400 meters of copper lines
Nokia Siemens Networks has successfully tested a technology that could drastically increase the data carrying capacity of standard copper wires. The company achieved data transmission speeds of 825 megabits per second (Mbps) over 400 meters of bonded copper lines and 750 Mbps over 500 meters. At these speeds, network operators could optimize existing, widely deployed copper infrastructure to provide bandwidth-intensive services for years to come.
Nokia Siemens Networks used circuits that involve the creation of a virtual - or 'phantom' - channel to supplement the two physical wires that are the standard configuration for copper transmission lines. The approach, known as Phantom DSL is also being showcased during Broadband World Forum 2010 in Paris,
October 26 - 28.
"Laying down new optical fiber to the home remains costly, though it is capable of delivering very high speeds and is a definite solution for long-term bandwidth requirements," said Eduard Scheiterer, head of broadband access business line, Nokia Siemens Networks. "However, the innovative use of technologies such as phantom circuits helps operators provide an efficient last mile connectivity with existing copper wires."
Phantom DSL promises a bandwidth increase of 50-75% over existing bonded copper lines. This prolongs the life of copper networks, delaying the need for fiber rollout and protecting operator's existing capital investments. The promised high speeds will enable a whole new range of end-user services and open up new revenue opportunities for operators. The technology could be used to test initial demand for very high bandwidth services.
Nokia Siemens Networks' Phantom DSL will become an integral part of the company's DSLAM* products hiX 562x/3x.
