Officials at a supermarket in Chiang Mai inspect cans of unsweetened condensed skimmed milk using a palmoil formula. They confiscated samples to be tested for melamine contamination.
The Food and Drug Administration has confiscated more than 200,000 kilograms of non-dairy creamer products and 448,675 kilograms of raw material from Thai Dairy Industry to test for melamine content, FDA deputy secretary-general Dr Narangsan Peerakij said yesterday.
He spoke after finding high melamine contamination in the company's unsweetened condensed skimmed milk using a palm-oil formula.
The FDA suspects that the product has the same ingredients as the tainted non-sweet condensed milk product, he said.
The samples of non-dairy creamer products and raw material are being tested at the laboratory of the Medical Sciences Department in the Public Health Ministry. If the tests result show the products are safe, the FDA will allow the company to relaunch its product on the market and continue using the same raw material to produce milk products.
Earlier, FDA inspectors randomly collected 10 samples of milk product from Thai Daily Industry's plant for examination and detected 92.82 milligrams of melamine compound per kilogram in unsweetened condensed skimmed milk with a palm-oil formula.
This violated the FDA standard of not more than 1 milligram per kilo or 2.5 milligrams per kilogram of milk-based food and beverages. The company will face a fine of Bt5,000 to Bt 20,000 and its executives imprisonment of six months to two years if convicted of selling tainted product.
The FDA ordered the company to recall its non-sweet condensed milk product and pull all similar products off the shelves.
On Wednesday, the FDA confiscated 154,164 cans of the product to test for melamine content.
The company informed the FDA that it imported powdered milk from Belgium, Switzerland, Australia, Germany, India, New Zealand and Burma.
But in the non-sweet condensed milk product with expiry date of January 16, 2008, the company has used only raw material imported from New Zealand.
The FDA ordered the company to destroy the tainted product lot.
However, since the FDA ran the test for melamine contamination in milk product and food-based milk product, Narangsan confirms that the powdered milk for infant products are safe for consumption.
Jiraporn Limpananont of the Foundation for the Consumer, said the company must reveal all the information it has about the raw material and clearly declare its responsibility to the consumer.

Determinants of autonomy in multinational corporation subsidiaries
AbstractThis paper reports on a survey of German and Japanese manufacturing affiliates located in the British Isles. One focus of interest is the degree of autonomy possessed by the subsidiary, and linkages between this and a range of strategic variables is explored. A second element of the investigation examines how the level of autonomy may be predicted from a smaller number of significant strategic variables. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of high autonomy at subsidiary level and some reflections on ramifications for multinational corporation (MNC) parents and policy makers. High-autonomy subsidiaries are identified as critical for the economic development objectives of policy makers.

Becca - MB is right - every experience is different. I've been on the journey of finding a pair of shoes and I think I've tried every pair at RRS - I landed in the Asics 2130's. My sister who has the same type of foot that I do landed in a Nike and that one felt awful on me.
RRS has a very generous 60 day return policy so you should feel good about at least trying them. And I don't even work for them :)

Disneyland Half Marathon Sept 5th 2:14:46
I have no experience with that particular shoe in general, but I've had good experiences with every NB shoe I've ever run in. That said, everyone is different and just because X amount of people on RRS didn't like it doesn't mean that you won't love it. Did you give it a test run in the store? Have you run at all on it? Give it a try, and if you don't like it, the store may take it back and give you a credit for a different shoe.
Good luck!

I just bought the New Balance 992 because my podiatrist told me to look for a running shoe without a crease in the sole (I posted this earlier). They got horrable reviews on Road Runner Sports. Do any of you have this shoe? Good or bad stories? Thanks!

The first conditioning every living thing is subjected to is of course birth, into a slower vibrational frequency, due to magnetic pull/attraction, among many other faculties. Work the rest out from there!

wow, for a second there i thought i was actually watching this video, and then i realized......holy crap! iam not even real! this sucks

All is energy, true, but all does not go on in my %?$# head. If you were to say, Dogma, that we project 3d (physical reality) onto the matrix, then you are talking to me. If you say something else is in control, you can talk to yourself...

Am I so happy to see these replies. They give me hope that things are evolving.
Brianmorin September 8, 2009 3:15:20 AM CEST
Couldn't agree with you more... Like to whole universe lives in my brain. How about we project our beliefs onto the matrix. This is the reason I hate anything that calls itself science. Not because I don't believe that there is place for science, but because I believe that science has been taken over and controlled by a bunch of imbecilic control freaks. When science comes out of the dark ages, and decides to us truth as its raison d'ete, then I will listen.

This is like a bad Scientology film from the early 90's.

I have take issue with your argument. The world's sages, mystics and gurus haven't denounced the material as a trick of the senses (i.e. "mentalism").The illusion is, we blindly accept the material realm as the ULTIMATE REALITY, whereas the realm of Spirit (or pure energy, if you like) is infinite and therefor the "Ground of all Reality".This isn't just Socratic rhetoric, either. Through intense training, these people have had DIRECT experience of such Reality.But don't take my word for it...
Belarion September 7, 2009 4:34:57 PM CEST
Illusion? it's all been said before, if I kick you in the nuts, is it the illusion that makes you double over in pain? give your head a shake !
Thieu4u September 7, 2009 2:13:56 PM CEST
The philosophical concept of this video is called MENTALISM. Mentalism exists in any culture. It denies reality as a illusion of the mind. Mentalism is also the basis for mindcontrol in every culture. If you lose grip of reality, anything can be true. Mentalism is the basic education to transform a person into a terrorist. Especially suicide terrorists are convinced that reality is just an illusion. This movie is poison for the mind and based on a paradox, that can't be easy solved. When a "mentalist" philosopher wanted to proved that you can never reach the other side of the room, Socrates, proved he was wrong by stepping to the other side of the room. The author of this video needs the reality to prove that reality doesn't exist. So even mentalism needs reality to exist. So dear audience, please be aware for this kind of nonsence.

Remembrance of the Daleks
First time viewing here, and I enjoyed it a lot. Outside of
The Five Doctors
it's also my first time seeing Daleks in the original series, and I think they might even be more terrifying here then they are in the new series. I know this serial has ties to
An Unearthly Child
but I have yet to view that particular serial, or anything with the first Doctor for that matter.
They do gloss over this a tad, but the Doctor committing mass genocide is a pretty dark and scary place to take the character. Granted it's probably glossed over because it was the Daleks, and he did manipulate Davros into doing it...
Don't believe everything I say.

3-24-2007: A hiker sustained soft tissue injuries after falling over the Headwall in Tuckerman Ravine. He was with a party of skiers when he decided to leave them and hike to the Summit by himself without any equipment except ski poles and the clothes he was wearing. On the ascent, he climbed the Lip and decided not to descend that way because it was too steep. He opted to try going down to the south of the Lip, which is steeper. After encountering icy conditions, he fell approximately 400' over the Headwall. The fall was witnessed by a group of bystanders, half of which went to Hermit Lake for help while the other half provided assistance to the victim. A Snow Ranger, the AMC Caretaker and a member of the Mt. Washington Volunteer Ski Patrol responded, treated his injuries and assisted him down to Hermit Lake. The person was able to walked out the next day. Five rescuers and a group of bystanders completed this incident in two hours.posted by rtha at 6:53 PM on August 15, 2008 [3 favorites]
Bernie Dahl of Winterport, Maine, nearly didn't get out. Officials cite his case as an example of what not to do. One calls him "naive." On October 23, 1999, Dahl, now 69, hiked up Mount Washington's Lion Head Trail. He passed the warning sign. Rain turned to snow, and a group of climbers turning back urged him to do the same. "I thought, I'm from New England, this is my kind of weather," says Dahl, a retired pathologist and a hiker since childhood. "There was a certain arrogance involved." By 4 p.m., he was trapped in hurricane-force conditions. Then Dahl remembered he had a cellphone and dialed for help. It eventually came, but not before Dahl reconciled himself to dying on the mountain. "Freezing is a nice way to go. You have an abnormal sense of warmth. I did not pray for rescue, I prayed for understanding and acceptance. I risked my life, and others had to risk theirs. That's not right, I don't deny it." Today, he speaks to groups about the "spiritual experience" and maintains a website.The website is really something else. On it, he tries to convey that this event on the mountain taught him that in order to truly live, one must be willing to accept death, and that living a fulfilling life is all about taking risks. I think it's interesting that that's what he would take away from this experience instead of, say, the wisdom of recognizing your own limitations, or when the voice of experience needs to supercede your desire to lunge forward into the abyss.

Parking is handy, walking distance to the centre, staff were friendly and good value for money. - Anonymous
We loved the venue of the place, the vue offered by the Bella Vista, everything was exactly right! Nice people working there, helpful, friendly in the right limits. One word: EXCELLENT! - Anonymous
The staff were excellent, very accommodating and even made us a breakfast bag for our early morning flight - Anonymous
The location of the place was perfect, just a few steps away from the Clock Tower, outside the medieval fortress. You can easily park your car outside the Vila Franka, so we highly recommend it over staying right in the fortress, since it can get difficult to park there. The room was very, very big, charming and spotless. The design was splendid, especially the bathroom. We find it a bit difficult to use the TV but Sighisoara is too beautiful to stay inside watching TV anyway. The place is curr - Anonymous
outstanding quality - Bogdan
Location is great, services are good - Anonymous
The rooms were clean, the hotel service was friendly and efficient...... the staff in the restaurant were wonderful.... very chatty, very friendly and made us feel very welcome in Sighisoara and in Romania - Cass
It's rarely that I can answer "excellent" to all the questions regarding
a hotel stay. And that includes many of the famous names I can recall …
Fronius ? What can I say? Fronius was a big, big, surprise. And that
includes location, staff, cliness, comfort and in top, very important
for me (and others I guess) value for the money! If I'll recommend it to
my friends? Yes, from all my hart I did it already. And you know what?
They were as happy as I was. - Anonymous

So you know I have a novella out with Ellora's Cave early next year called Busted!, set at a sci-fi convention, and Ghostbusters is one of many fandoms represented. Oh, you didn't know that? Well, I have a novella coming out, save your pennies.
Today I must hat tip author Jenny Trout for posing this question on Twitter:
A great question, one I'm sure many a fan has debated over time. It's relevant because this year marks the 30th and 25th anniversaries, respectively, of the two Ghostbusters films. In the first outing, Louis Tully is a mousy accountant who keeps locking himself out of his apartment:
In the second one, he's retained by the Ghostbusters as a lawyer/CPA/guy who flirts awkwardly with Jeanine:
Somewhere in the midst of all the mess with Vigo he dons a spare jumpsuit and proton pack and assumes the role of Ghostbuster:
He also steals Jeanine's affections from Egon, but I doubt Egon noticed:
Personally I thought it curious that the boys would have a fifth jumpsuit and pack readily accessible and not under lock and key, considering each one is the equivalent of a nuclear reactor that straps to somebody's back. Heaven forbid it should end up in the wrong hands. That's neither here nor there, though, and I don't have time to watch both movies at present. I do, however, have enough to repeat Jenny's question: Should Louis be considered a bona fide Ghostbuster?
It's important to me to know - I may end up writing a sequel, and I like to be thorough. If you want my opinion, I'll say at best Louis is an honorary one. Some people have argued on Twitter that Louis is no more a Ghostbuster than Winston, or that he is as much a Ghostbuster as Winston. Since Ernie Hudson isn't in the first movie very long, many want to begrudgingly give him status. I like to give Winston's character some credit, though. He did fill out an application, and Ray officially hired him. I imagine if Eddie Murphy had taken the role he'd have gotten more screen time, but we'll never know that.
Louis, I think, just assumed the part without fully knowing what to do or expect. He wasn't much of a lawyer but to his credit attended night school. I like to think if Ghostbusters 3 had happened we'd have seen Louis as a full-on Ghostbuster with his name on the jumpsuit. Again, wishful thinking.
That's just my opinion, anyway. What are your thoughts?

#SummerReadsHop Blog + Giveaway
Oh, and FREE eBOOK!
Summer breeeeeeeze, makes me feel fine...
It would if I could feel a breeze. It's hot outside. Damn hot. I could recite the whole line of dialogue from Good Morning, Vietnam but Robin does it so much better. Instead I'm going to shameless plug a book I wrote that I call the anti-everything.
Recently the news covered a young adult novel that Kylie and Whoever Jenner "wrote," though it's rumored neither one actually read it. I found this amusing, not because reality stars amuse me, but because prior to this I published a novel that skewers the world of reality stars, to an extent. Killing the Kordovas is a sarcastic look at one author's struggle to succeed in the face of reality...stars. If you love to hate the people who gym, tan, etc. and make lots of money doing it, you should read this. You'll laugh or cry - I did both.
I want you to read Killing to Kordovas this summer, so I'm giving it away on Amazon today through the 21st. Go to Amazon now and download it! The sale won't last. If you like it, I hope you'll tell a friend and review, then come back here to learn about my first romance with Ellora's Cave - a geek love story.
Okay, I'm done. Live long and prosper.

Great Love Triangles in Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Yeah, there are romances set in SFF backdrops. However, you don't normally tune in to a favorite sci-fi series to see a romance. Oh, you do? Well, you've come to the right place, because I'm talking about some of my favorites.
Riker/Troi/Worf (Star Trek: the Next Generation) - I don't know if anybody saw the attempt at a Troi/Worf pairing late in the TV show's run, but I certainly didn't disapprove. Worf hadn't enjoyed much luck in the romance department, and the whole flirtation between Troi and Riker's "twin" petered out, so why not get them together? I wished the show had done more to explore the possibilities, but the run ended and the movies brought Troi and Riker back together. Feh. At least those of us siding with Worf have Peter David's book, Triangle: Imzadi II to bring some semblance of closure.
Han Solo/Princess Leia/Prince Isolder (Star Wars expanded universe) - Some of you may be asking, "Wha?" Yeh, Prince Isolder didn't appear in any of the current movies, but was a character in the novel The Courtship of Princess Leia. It's been years since I read it, but IIRC the storyline involved a plan to marry Leia off to this guy for reasons of galactic peace and prosperity or nah, and Han wasn't having it. Of course, you know how it ends, and I doubt Isolder gets any lip service in the new movies.
Egon/Jeanine/Louis (Ghostbusters) - Yeah, it's not really a triangle, but something always bothered me about the two films. In the first, Jeanine is clearly smitten with Egon, and in the second she warms up rather quickly to Louis Tully. Perhaps they're more suited to each other, but you notice the whole Egon/Jeanine didn't get any time in the sequel. I don't think they share scenes in II. So what happened during the five year gap? The cartoon doesn't tell us much, but I see on Wikipedia they added Louis in the fifth season after the sequel came out. Somebody must really have wanted to convince us Jeanine and Tully belonged together.
Dirk/Talia/Kris (Heralds of Valdemar) - One summer I blew through about ten Valdemar novels. If you're looking for a fantasy gateway, pick up this trilogy - Arrows of the Queen, Arrow's Flight, and Arrow's Fall. The first one is one of the few books I have read more than once, and I only picked them up because somebody remarked to me she'd heard Mercedes Lackey was a Rush fan and might have modeled Dirk on Geddy Lee. It's possible, but you don't need to know that to like the books.
Now, some of you might want to include some recent YA triangles here (Bella/Edward/Werewolf Guy I Can't Remember; Gale/Katniss/Peeta), and there may be a Doctor Who one or two, but these are the most memorable to me. Hopefully somebody will add Busted! to his/her list.

Talking to What House? news editor Marc Da Silva this week, housing minister Grant Shapps said that the Government is seriously committed to increasing the supply of affordable homes in Britain in order to help more people buy a new home.
"Unless the economy improves dramatically in the near future, we need to do more to help people gain a foot on the housing ladder, and there is a lot we can do regarding the provision of affordable housing," said Mr Shapps.
The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) has this week revealed its strategy for the creation of 170,000 new affordable homes across England by 2015.
The HCA's Corporate Plan 2012-15 outlines how the national housing and regeneration agency will help to realise the Government's Housing Strategy.
Pat Ritchie, chief executive of the HCA, said: "This plan sets a clear direction for the HCA, taking stock of our evolving role over the last year coupled with the Government's ambitions set out in the Housing Strategy. We have set solid foundations this year, working with our partners to boost housing supply and economic growth, and we will continue to focus on delivery in the months ahead.
"By working closely with providers we have reviewed the delivery of housing supported through the £1.8bn Affordable Homes Programme. This means that some of the 80,000 homes set to be built under this programme will be delivered sooner than originally anticipated and invigorate the communities that need them."
Affordable new homes in London
The London Borough of Islington has rejected funding from the HCA's £1.8bn Affordable Homes Programme. The Council has decided to provide £2.5m of funding itself for housing associations to build social homes instead of accepting the funding. It is the only London Borough to not take part in the HCA's Affordable Homes Programme.
Meanwhile, L&Q, in partnership with Barratt Homes, will deliver 52 affordable homes, available to buy on a shared ownership basis, as part of the first phase of a major new scheme in Fulham. Phase two comprises the demolition of the existing superstore and the construction of 196 units, including 14 social rented homes.
Affordable homes in Hampshire
Linden Homes plans to build 75 new homes in the Hampshire village of Swanmore including up to 30 affordable homes. A planning decision will be made later this year.
New affordable homes in Devon
The first phase of new homes in Cranbrook, a new town in East Devon, which includes 328 affordable homes, will become available in September. The first phase will consist of 1,120 dwellings in total, as well as a primary school, a doctor's surgery and retail centre.
Affordable new homes in Coventry
A new £6m affordable homes development in Coventry comprising of 70 new affordable homes has been built on a site once used to dump debris from the Blitz. The new homes are designed to meet local housing needs and comprise a mix of one- and two-bedroom flats, two-, three- and four-bedroom houses, and one adapted bungalow.
Affordable homes in Peterborough
Developer Larkfleet Homes has started construction work on a 'mixed tenure' affordable housing scheme in Bourne Road, Morton. The scheme will feature 20 affordable homes. Work is due to be completed in April 2013.
New affordable homes in Sedgemoor
A number of people attended an affordable housing open day yesterday (Thursday) hsted by Sedgemoor District Council at the Regional Rural Business Centre, at Junction 24 near Bridgwater, illustrating high demand for affordable housing in the region. There were displays on a range of rented, shared ownership and FirstBuy homes.

Here's How Much You Can Make by Renting Out Your Home
Oklahoma City and San Jose, California, top lists of cities where homeowners deciding to rent rather than sell their homes could see the biggest gains. That's according to real estate information website Zillow Inc., which ran data to see what current homeowners could make if they became mom-and-pop landlords. The Okies in their state's capital city win when it comes to monthly profits: $536, or $6,431 annually.

3 Simple Ways to Build Great Customer Relationships
Organizations with great customer relationships are able to grow their businesses without gimmicks, fee cuts or special treatment.

Robin Williams' tightrope dance over the abyss
Through some macabre coincidence, my wife and I chose to rewatch Good Will Hunting two nights ago. It's an old favorite of mine — a good but not great script about a boy genius from working-class South Boston who overcomes his self-destructive behaviors thanks to the intervention of a foulmouthed psychologist (played by Williams). In almost every one of his scenes, Williams ennobles and transfigures the film, lending its somewhat fanciful and slightly mawkish story greater emotional depth and authenticity. I can't say that news of Williams' death, apparently by suicide, came as a complete shock. In his manic and maniacal...

Why You Should Stay in Stocks Even When the Market's Falling
I remember it like it was yesterday. The last few months of 2008 tested the mettle of even the heartiest stock market investor. Daily I talked with investors who decided to sell out of their portfolios entirely. When you see the Dow (^DJI) plunge 500, 600 or 700 points in a day, it makes total sense on one level. Investors see the ship sinking, or at least they fear that's what's going on, and they want a life preserver while there's still one left. Fast forward to today, and the fear is still there. We start hearing about whether or not it's time to get out of the stock market, especially when the media seems to onl...

I Saved Thousands by Refinancing My Car at a Credit Union
Many of us have fallen prey to the pressures of a conglomerate car retailer, including myself. In 2011, I walked into a Toyota (TM) dealership with the sensible goal of simply checking out the merchandise. My lease was drawing to a close, and I wanted to see what my options were. Instead, I got caught up in the allure of shiny metal and, to my surprise, ended up leaving the lot with a new car. Two years later — after the excitement of new car keys clinking in my purse faded, along with that new car smell — I realized that perhaps I hadn't made the best financial decision. I admitted my error and dealt with the mixture of gui...

Convenient location. Attractive, neat, clean.
Friendly staff Good location for the money Nice room-comfy bed
Poorly planned layout for breakfast buffet Small thing that would be nice-soap dish beside the sink!
Beds were very comfortable-room was cool. A/C worked well. Nice privacy. The staff was very welcoming and helpful!
Bathtub was a little dirty-I didnt bother taking a shower while we were there. The parking lot is not big enough--we drive around the building 3 times looking for a spot to open up!
The layout is nice. The room is good.
When I booked my room three days in advance, I was told my room would be ready at 3pm on my arrival day. When I showe up at 3:30 p.m, I was told my room was not ready and had to wait. I waited untill almost 5 p.m and was told my room was ready. I asked the clerk if I could get a discount or talk to the manager, who was standing right behind him, and said right away no that he could not do anything about it. I was furious but had no option to leave.
Breakfast was ok. Coffee was good. Bed was comfy.
Could not get to room from lobby. No room service that I could find.
atmosphere was great! Very "Austin" feel to it. the room was clean, and i love being able to open my window.
the parking was horrible. the bar located adjacent to the hotel apparently is very popular because we were unable to find a parking spot at the hotel as the evening progressed.
The room was quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the pool/spa was nice.
Best thing about breakfast was the yogurt...
It was clean and nice
I had to walk to lobby to get water for some coffe in the morning 2.00 a bottle
On site bar and grill was excellent Staff was very courteous Property was well kept
Only a sheet like comforter on the bed got very cold when turned the air up the room then got very hot. Needed more comfortable pillows
That ckout was at 11 instead of noon
The pool area was very nice. The room was spacious with updated decor. The free breakfast had a lot of choices and was tasty. It was close to everything downtown.
The gym had no free weights.
The room and hotel very clea. The breakfast very good also.
Wifi was not strong. I couldn't get much on my iPad .
Larry was friendly and helpful.
Food at the onsite Bar and Grill was really greasy.
Room was spacious and clean, with a fridge and microwave. Coffee machine in the lobby was great, as was free wifi and full breakfast. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Good location, too. Great bargain, especially for the price.
Room amenities, enough coffee for two people which is a nice difference to what the norm is for coffee in rooms, clean room
Bed was pretty hard
Friendliness of personnel, comfortable and good location
lugging bags and rooms difficult to find
Larry was top notch.
The good in the on site bar and grill was really greasy.
It was a nice place to have somewhere to sleep for a night. The beds were comfortable. Although the outside looks old the Inside has been remodeled and looks good.
Quiet. Comfortable. Clean
Vending machine prices.
Nice clean rooms, well situated near city & airport, best option for less money
Breakfast has not much variations to offer and runs only til 9:30
Desk staff. Unwelcoming and inefficient.Key process to gain access to our room.
They had an awesome location for us as we were traveling mostly downtown and in south Austin. We enjoyed the breakfast quite a bit. Overall I was very pleased with this hotel!
The maid service delayed is entry into our room twice. It was probably just bad timing but the second time was a little frustrating because all four of us needed to shower to get ready for a wedding.
The hotel was easy to access from the Highway and staff were helpful and courteous. We had to change our booking at the last minute and the staff were very amenable to helping us adjust our planned arrival. The hotel was quiet, clean and bed/furnishings were very modern and comfortable
The hotel wasn't at fault, but the location was a distance from SoCo and the city center so cabs are essential! Reception staff were always happy to call a cab, so getting onto the city was easy enough. Unfortunately as it was a busy weekend cabs were not plentiful so getting back to the hotel at night proved more challenging.
A completely enclosed pool area, the work out facilities were compact but very clean and neat, and the business center had more than one printer, which is excellent! I also felt very secure on the property, and it had easy access to most areas in Austin.
Every clerk that did help us out was very polite and as helpful as possible except for the one during our check out. Reason being: I checked in on Yelp and received a 10% discount, but was told by the front desk clerk that he had no idea what that was, and did not apply it. He did not check with anyone else, nor offer to take our information down so that someone could get back to us. I would have liked that any promotions be thoroughly reviewed with front desk personnel.

A team from New Zealand's Antarctic Heritage Trust recently discovered 100-year-old photographic negatives left in British explorer Robert Falcon Scott's expedition hut on Cape Evans in Antarctica.
The small wooden hut was built during Scott's 1912 expedition to the South Pole. Scott wanted to be the first person to reach the South Pole, only to find that a Norwegian group had beaten him there. Scott and several of his team members died on the return trip.
The photos don't come from Scott's expedition — they were taken by members of Ernest Shackleton's Ross Sea party, an expedition that took place between 1914 and 1917. Some members of the party were forced to stay in Scott's hut in 1915 after becoming stranded when their ship, the Aurora, broke free from its mooring at Cape Evans and blew out to sea.
"One of the most striking images is of Ross Sea Party member Alexander Stevens, Shackleton's Chief Scientist, standing on-board the Aurora," the Trust said in a statement.
It took a painstaking amount of work for a conservator to separate and clean the photos, and though many are damaged, it's possible to make out many of the landmarks around the McMurdo Sound.
The Antarctic Heritage Trust is responsible for conserving five historic expedition bases in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica.
You can see a full gallery of images online here.

Philanthropy Power Duo: How Edward Norton and Shauna Robertson Have Raised $150M With Hollywood Charity Game Changer.
CrowdRise, the online fundraising business led by former Hollywood executive Shauna Robertson and her husband, actor Edward Norton, has drawn $150-million for nonprofits since its launch in 2010 and expects to take in another $100-million by the end of the year, The Hollywood Reporter writes in a special section on show business philanthropy. Many CrowdRise efforts take advantage of the founding couple's industry connections, with stars like Will Ferrell, Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, and Paul Rudd running or pitching for fundraisers. Ms. Robertson said the site's low overhead and informality, compared to the high-profile galas that make up much Hollywood philanthropy appeals to celebrity campaigners.

Mistrial in case of Hampton man charged with sexually assaulting 3 children
During the second day of testimony in Rockingham County Superior Court, a mistrial was declared in the sexual-assault case against Leonard Aldrich, 64, of Hampton. JAMES A. KIMBLE
Leonard Aldrich, 64, will remain behind bars at the Rockingham County jail while lawyers prepare for a new trial. Aldrich has been in custody since his arrest Jan. 29, 2012. He is accused of sexually assaulting two young girls and a boy, now age 7, between December 2010 and January 2012.
The new information about the records was discovered shortly before noon Wednesday during the second day of trial when two witnesses offered contradictory testimony, according to Judge Marguerite Wageling. Prosecutors argue that the girl's mother walked in on Aldrich as he was sexually assaulting the two girls - ages 6 and 2 - and promptly reported the matter to police. The mother testified she was alone at the time, but the boy testified earlier he was with his mother during the incident and provided details to the jury.
"She was clear in her testimony that she was not with (him)," Wageling said.
Police reports about the incident made no mention of the boy. Defense lawyer Patrick Fleming argued for a mistrial, which was initially denied by the judge. The contradiction in testimony prompted a discussion between Wageling and the lawyers during a break in the trial. A DCYF worker overheard that conversation and recalled a conversation she had with the mother on the same topic, revealing that there may be a record of it that was not previously handed over prior to the trial, Wageling said.
Such a record, or records - however minor they might be - could be used by the defense to impeach a witness, according to the judge.
Prior to the trial, Wageling said she reviewed scores of DCYF records to provide to the prosecution and defense as they prepared for trial. She said obtaining records from the state agency proved to be troublesome early on in the case.
"We had some difficultly with that issue earlier," she said. "The court will make every effort to get to the bottom of it."
No new trial date has been set. Lawyers will meet with Wageling March 29.

Despite Risks, Shell Still Wants to Drill in the Arctic Ocean - by Oceana
On August 28, Shell Oil Co. filed its exploration plan to drill offshore oil and gas wells in the U.S. Arctic's Chukchi Sea with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). This action potentially opens up drilling exploration in the region for a 2015 season. Offshore oil exploration has not been conducted in Alaska's Arctic since 2012, when Shell had a highly publicized series of blunders during its exploration activity. Without actually being allowed to hit oil, the company received m...

Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl Kate Upton and three players from the Super Bowl champion New York Giants highlight the celebrity list for the 2012 Daytona 500.
Upton will be co-grand marshal for the race along with Glee star Jane Lynch, who played Ricky Bobby's mother in Talladega Nights. Both women also appear in the upcoming The Three Stooges movie (the actors who play the Stooges will be there, too).
The Giants will be represented by a trio of defensive players: Mathias Kiwanuka, Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora. Pro Football Hall of Famer Lynn Swann will also attend.
The pre-race entertainment includes Lenny Kravitz – who will perform three songs before the race – and the group Train, who will sing the national anthem.
SmashMouth lead singer Steve Harwell will be on hand, as will former Beverly Hills, 90210 star Jason Priestley.
The race will be started by WWE wrestler John Cena, and four UFC fighters – Jon Jones, Brock Lesnar, Christopher Tuchscherer and Donald Cerrone – are also expected to attend.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will reportedly be in Daytona before the race begins, but the track has yet to confirm those plans.

December 08, 2011, 1:55 PM —
REUTERS/Phil McCarten
The creator of Super Mario Bros. isn't quitting his job, but he may be downsizing his role in game development. Nintendo frontman Shigeru Miyamoto made waves yesterday by delving into a frank discussion of his career plans during an exclusive interview with Wired.com, expressing his desire to stop supervising the large teams of developers responsible for popular Nintendo franchises like Zelda and Mario Kart in order to work on smaller projects.
What I really want to do is be in the forefront of game development once again myself," Miyamoto told Wired. "Probably working on a smaller project with even younger developers. Or I might be interested in making something that I can make myself, by myself. Something really small."
Whether Miyamoto plans to work on new or existing Nintendo franchises is still unknown. We won't know the full story until Wired publishes the complete interview next week, but the brief snippets released yesterday have sparked a debate among game enthusiasts, critics and developers about whether or not Nintendo should expend more time and resources on developing new games that do not bear established brands like Zelda, Mario or Kirby.
Even if Nintendo does ramp up development of new titles, it's unclear whether or not Miyamoto has the freedom to pursue projects smaller than a 3DS game. While Nintendo does offer a modest catalog of downloadable games for purchase on the Wii and 3DS through the Nintendo eShop, Nintendo president Shigeru Iwata has publicly stated that the company has no intention of developing mobile games or releasing their games on mobile platforms like iOS and Android.

Obama's cabinet officials promised to help house thousands of families who still remain homeless after hurricanes Katrina and Gustav. They also pledged to rebuild fire and police stations, all in an effort to get this area back on track.
It's the first time many of them have toured the state since hurricane Katrina. Today, the Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Shaun Donovan, and other city and congressional leaders visited areas like
Donovan says, "What we have seen today, makes us disturbed, angry even to see some of the families living the way that they have."
To help those families, HUD has accepted the state's action plan...to spend $438 million dollars on long-term disaster recovery. "That will produce affordable rental housing, it will help businesses, farms and fisheries, to recover and it will support coastal restoration to help protect southern parishes from future storms" Donovan adds.
Senator Mary Landrieu, who persuaded the secretaries to tour the area, says, the money is much needed here. She sees it as a sign the Obama administration is committed to the rebuilding effort. "They are moving money out so quickly and making decisions and moving it out and its kind of going to take us a while to get used to that real speed, we have not had" Landrieu says.
Some home owners who've struggled with rebuilding and even Governor Jindal say they'll be satisfied when they actually see results of the promised help. Phyllis Montana Leblanc says,
"Promises are always a good sign because when you give a promise then you have hope but if at the end of the day, nothing shows up, you're back to square one with promises and hope." Governor Jindal adds, "We heard some encouraging words today. Actions will be absolutely critical now."
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano also announced Thursday that FEMA is providing money to rebuild several police and fire stations. In addition, $12 million dollars will be given to St. Bernard Parish to help repair their water treatment plant.
