Thunderbird 3 Provides Tabs, Better Search and Archiving
The carrier pigeon has arrived. After almost two and a half years in development, the new version 3 of the popular Thunderbird e-mail program is now available.
According to the release notes, the e-mail client provides several new features. First among them are the tabs familiar to Firefox users that allow opening multiple mail messages side by side. The tabs are stored when quitting Thunderbird and are restored when reopening.
The developers around David Ascher also whittled at the search function. Search results can now be filtered by more attributes and even using the timeline tool. Thunderbird also indexes received mails in advance to get to the search results more quickly.
Important messages can be archived by pressing the A key to file them in the new Archive folder system. The new Add-ons Manager allows extensions to be installed directly from Thunderbird, although Thunderbird 2 extensions might not quite work in Thunderbird 3 and it might be best to test them individually for new add-on versions.
The new mail account setup is helpful in that it tries to detect automatically the IMAP and POP3 settings, sparing you from having to do costly searches on the major free mail provider websites. It's enough just to enter the name, e-mail address and password, and Thunderbird theoretically takes care of the rest.
Developers furthermore simplified the address book and improved and upgraded the integrated spam filter. If you forget to include an attachment, Thunderbird will remind you to do so, provided you defined a keyword such as "attached" or "included" and include it in the message.
An integrated migration assistant helps users upgrade from Thunderbird 2 to 3 and offers some choices for settings. However, developers suggest backing up profiles, because the upgrade might overwrite the previous version. The e-mail files are usually stored in the $HOME/.mozilla-thunderbird directory. Because the directory can get quite large, enough free space should be provided on the hard drive.
The release does have some known issues. For example, some Thunderbird 2 users may not be able to log in to their SMTP server because the secure authentication fails. Switching back and forth between Thunderbird 3 and an older release may also not update passwords properly because of where they're now stored.
You can download Thunderbird 3 right away, but it might make more sense to wait until the individual distros provide it, for a better integration into the desktop.

I'm looking for good information on color changes during fermentation. In general, I find most things lighten to some degree. There is some discussion on the web about protein coagulation and fall out taking out some color.
I brewed a cream ale using thai sweet red rice. The post-boil color was a lovely dark ruby red, which I was hoping would stay. Once it finished, it was a medium straw gold. It looked like all the color added from the rice was just gone. Precipitated out? nope. Yeast bed is normal color, trub is light, and the color should act more as a dye than a suspension.
I'm wondering if there are any plant dyes which essentially become yeast food. I can't find any research. Color contributed from malt, seems to stick around. Color from red rice, totally gone. A bit disappointed by the color change.
I think I found out why. Apparently what is labeled as red rice, is actually better known as Black rice. The pigment in black rice comes from Anthocyanin (think red cabbage). This is an indicator, so to test it, I boiled up some of the rice, and made some a little acidic and some a little basic. The color change is obvious.
So it turns out that anthocyanin is a glucoside which can be decomposed through fermentation. It would appear then, that brewing with black rice, or red cabbage (feel free to try) will not yield the desired results.
Interesting: Indican, which is a colorless glycoside, when fermented yields Indoxyl. When Indoxyl is oxidized, you get Indigo Blue. Fermentation colored the world! (just not my beer)
looks like the little science kit i bought for my daughter the other day, came with red cabbage powder, citric acid and baking soda that yields the same effect.

DÜSSELDORF -- E.ON said Monday it has reached an agreement with Canada' s Pieridae Energy involving the delivery of liquefied natural gas, or LNG.
The deal is the German utility' s first move to take advantage of huge amounts of inexpensive shale gas flooding the North American market. It also is an effort to further diversify its gas sources. The company' s largest gas suppliers are Norway and Russia.
E.ON didn' t disclose the exact financial details of the agreement, but it said the deal is worth several billion euros per year and is set for a period of 20 years, starting in 2020.
E.ON also said the agreement is for around 5 MMmt of LNG per year during the contract period. The company' s comments confirmed a report by The Wall Street Journal, which earlier Monday reported the agreement.
The deliveries will start following the completion of an LNG terminal in Goldboro on Canada' s east coast, which is planned to be finished in the first quarter of 2020.
The terminal will handle a yearly volume of around 10 MMmt of LNG, which will be pumped onto ships for export.
Separately, E.ON Chief Executive Johannes Teyssen on Monday denied media reports over the weekend that the company is considering to cancel all of its gas supply contracts with Russian export monopoly Gazprom, one of its largest suppliers.
"Reports that we want cancel our gas supply contracts with Gazprom are absurd," Mr. Teyssen said on the sidelines of an industry conference in Bologna, Italy.
E.ON has no reason to question Gazprom' s reliability as gas supplier, he added.
Russian gas is generally considered as relatively expensive, because much of the long-term gas contracts, which utilities like E.ON have struck with the Russian producer, are linked to the price of oil.
However, following years of talks with Gazprom, E.ON last year managed to secure better terms for its Russian gas, including compensation for previously loss-making contracts.
Compared with European prices, North American gas trades much lower as shale gas has become abundant thanks to production techniques known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracing.

ROBOTC Omniwheel Article in Design & Technology Practice Magazine
Xander Soldaat, ROBOTC Project Contributor, was recently asked to write a robotics article for the British Design & Technology Practice magazine. He wrote about the basics of programming a LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT omniwheel based platform, and the mathematics behind it using ROBOTC as the programming language.
You can read a copy of the article here: [LINK].

Student POV: Robovacuum
Alexis and Noah are back again with another Student POV! This time, sharing how they programmed a robovacuum in ROBOTC Graphical Language for the VEX IQ platform.
In this challenge, we programmed the Vex IQ robot to perform a task that was based off of the robotic vacuums that vacuum autonomously while avoiding obstacles. Our challenge was to program a robot that would perform like a robotic vacuum. Therefore it would be able to move autonomously while avoiding obstacles.
We started our program by putting in a repeat forever loop. This means that our program will continuously run until we stop it with the exit button on the Vex IQ brain.
We then made a plan on what we needed our robot to do. Within the repeat loop, we had to put an "if else" statement. An if else statement is a command that makes a decision based on a condition. With our program, our condition is the bumper sensor. The robot checks the condition of whether or not the bumper sensor is depressed. If the bumper sensor is not depressed, it will run the command inside the curly braces of the if statement. If the bumper sensor is depressed, it will run the commands inside the brackets of the else statement. We had to put this statement inside a repeat forever loop because without it, it would only make this decision once.
We then had to decide what task the robot was to perform when the sensor was depressed. So we set up commands within the curly braces of the else statement shown here.
Below is an image of the final program.
Now our robot is able to move around autonomously while avoiding different obstacles!

Student POV: Slalom Challenge
It's Danica and Jake, back again! This time, teaching people about the slalom challenge, in ROBOTC Graphical Language for the VEX IQ platform. The challenge is to line follow using the VEX IQ color sensor without hitting the "mines", also known as the cups.
In the graphical organizer, to line follow on the left side of the line, all you have to do is use the block, lineTrackLeft, to follow the right side you have to use lineTrackRight.
In this block, there are 3 boxes, one for the threshold, the second for the speed of the left motor, and the last box is for the speed of the right motor. In this line of code, the threshold of 105, the robot's left motor is set to go at 50% power, and the right motor is set to go at 15% power.
This block has to be included into a repeat loop to make sure the robot continues to do this command for an allotted amount of time.
The repeatUntil loop has many options for how long the loop should run. For this challenge, we decided to use the timer.
The timer is set at 7000 milliseconds or 7 seconds, so it has enough time to make it through the slalom. Our finished program looks like this:
Now you can line follow in any challenge you would like, the possibilities are endless!
Student POV: Robo 500 Challenge
Hi, we're Alexis and Noah, two eighth grade students at Hopewell Memorial Junior High School. Earlier this week, we did the Robo 500 challenge. To write the programs, we used the recently released ROBOTC Graphical software for the VEX IQ. The goal of the challenge was to complete two laps around a Vex IQ storage bin.
We completed the challenge by using timing and degree measurements. The first step was to get the robot to move forward. For this, we would use a basic motor command.
In ROBOTC Graphical, it gives you the option to choose the values in which you want your motor to run by, such as time and rotations. In this challenge, we chose time.
From there, we experimented with different time values until we found the timing that was needed to finish the side of the challenge before the turn. Through testing, I found that 3.7 seconds covered the distance needed.
Now, what was left was the largest challenge of the program, the turn. Timing a turn can be challenging on seconds alone. So, I used degree turns. I started with a 180 degree, which brought me around about 45°. Due to the drift of the robot when it moves forward, I had to make the turn slightly less than double the 180° turn. I settled on a value of 300°.
Once the values were established, the rest was just repeating the commands so the robot would go around the whole box. Here is an example of my final program.
We were then thinking about how the turns were a hassle with trial and error, and contemplated a better way to turn. So, we decided to use a gyro sensor to have the most accurate turns possible.
To start out the program we had to reset the gyro sensor so the sensor could record the degrees from zero.
From here we moved forward to the end of the course for time, and we moved forward for about four seconds. Then we used a while loop. A while loop is set to check a condition and while the condition is true, it performs what is inside of the curly braces of the while loop. In this case the condition is while the gyro sensor value is less than 90 degrees.
We would then repeat these actions until the robot has made two full laps around the course. Here is the program for one lap. To do two laps I would just repeat this program again.
We were able to finish our programs efficiently in a short amount of time due to the design of the new graphical programming. This new design enables you to drag over commands from the function library; such as, moving forwards and backwards, turning, and sensor commands while avoiding the hassle of painstakingly typing each command. This reduces the time spent on each program and allows us to speed up the pace at which we program, and we are able to complete challenges in a shorter amount of time.
To the left, we have an image of the function library and a depiction of what would happen if you dragged a command into your program. The command would line up with the next available open line and would give you options as to what values you wanted to program your robot with.

Student POV: Labyrinth Challenge
We are really excited to introduce a new blog series called Student POV! This series will feature students giving their perspective and advice for programming in ROBOTC. If you're a student who would like to contribute to the blog, let us know at email@example.com. Welcome our first student bloggers, Danica and Jake!
Hi it's Danica and Jake, and we just completed the Labyrinth Challenge. We are both 8th grade students attending Hopewell Memorial Junior High. We both used VEX IQ Graphical Programming Language to complete this challenge since it is a new software recently released by ROBOTC. The first challenge we had to accomplish was the labyrinth challenge. The labyrinth is a square, where the robot has to travel from the starting point, to the ending point by doing a series of basic commands.
Our first task was to make our robot move forward.
This block is telling the robot to go forward at 50% power for 5 rotations, but you can also set the robot to move for degrees, milliseconds, seconds, and minutes.
Our second task was to make the robot turn left.
When turning left, you can use multiple commands such as degrees, rotations, milliseconds, seconds, and minutes. You can also use this for turning right.
One problem while programming for this challenge was making 90 degree turns. To get a perfect 90 degree turn, with timing, you had to go through a lot of trial and error. After figuring out the perfect turns, based on timing, the time for moving forward, and the stops to prevent drifts, we had to string all the commands together to form the program for the challenge. This what the finished program looks like:
An easier way to perform more accurate turns, is with the use of the gyro sensor. The gyro sensor allows you to count how many degrees you turn. This simply means that you can actually tell the robot to make an accurate turn. You also have to remember to reset the gyro after every use, and it will make this program a lot easier.
To reset the gyro you have to use this block:
The finished program with the gyro sensor looks like this:
In this program we used the setMotor command instead of turnLeft or turnRight. This command is better to use in the while loop since you only have to set the speed of the motor. The condition in the while loop determines how long the robot turns. As a result, we just need to set the motor speed with the setMotor command.
A cool feature you can use in RobotC is commenting out your code. You can also do this in the VEX IQ Graphical Organizer. It is much easier though since you only have to click the number on the block of code you want to comment out.
Commenting looks like this:
These comments allow you to test only one turn out of the whole code, which is very useful during the trial and error stage.
Now it is time to go try the Labyrinth challenge on your own, either with or without the gyro sensor. Have fun!
A Teacher's POV: Using the Gyro Sensor
Programming your robot to make precise turns can be a source of frustration for some students as they begin to learn ROBOTC. Oftentimes, when students are just learning programming, all of the movements of their robots are based on timing. When programming a robot to move forward or backwards, a small error or a small amount of inconsistency can usually be overcome. With turning, however, inconsistencies and small errors can lead to larger errors and the frustration I mentioned earlier.
At this point, students learn that sensors can be used to improve the movement of their robots. With the VEX IQ, a Gyro Sensor is provided that eliminates any guesswork when it comes to programming your robot to turn.
The Gyro Sensor measures the rotational angle of the robot. If you look at the Gyro Sensor, you will see an arrow that points in a counter-clockwise direction. That is the default positive direction. Therefore, as long as the sensor is mounted flat on the robot it picks up the parallel angle to the ground. The sensor then registers the current position as a zero point. If the robot turns counter-clockwise, it registers as a positive value. If it turns clockwise, the sensor registers a negative value. We can see this applied with the following illustration:
We can program the Gyro Sensor using Natural Language or full ROBOTC. To use Natural Language, you just need to make sure that the Gyro Sensor is plugged into port 4. Let's take a look at some ways to program the Gyro Sensor with Natural Language.
With this program, getGyroDegrees returns the current rotational value of the sensor in units of degrees. When making gyro-based turns, it is best to reset the gyro sensor before each turn, so the resetGyro command is utilized. With the example, we want the robot to turn until the getGyroDegrees command returns a value (from the Gyro Sensor) of 90 degrees. Therefore, we use the repeatUntil command. When we run this program, our robot should make a 90 degree left turn. Note that the robot may turn more than 90 degrees due to drift, which is caused by momentum. If this occurs, just slow down the speed of the motors. That should eliminate the drift.
We can apply the same commands to program our robot to make a right turn.
What I did when first showing the students the Gyro Sensor was to have them see the sensor work with the debugger screen. I used a sample program utilizing full ROBOTC with this activity. The sample program we used was in the Gyro Sensor Folder, and it is called Gyro Display Values. The students compiled and downloaded the program. They kept the USB cables plugged into their robots so they could see the values of the Gyro Sensor on the debugger screen. To access the debugger windows, go to the Robot menu, click on Debugger Windows, and then select Sensors.
The students can now run their program, physically move their robot, and see how the values of the Gyro Sensor change via the debugger screen.
The VEX IQ Gyro Sensor is extremely useful and easy to program, and the students have a lot of fun using this sensor.

ROBOTC Graphical Programming Preview Available!
After months of work, the ROBOTC Development Team is excited to announce the availability of the first preview release of ROBOTC Graphical Language for the VEX IQ platform. This new interface will allow you to program robots from inside ROBOTC with easy-to-use graphical blocks that can be drag-and-dropped to form a program. Each block represents an individual command from the "text-based" ROBOTC and Natural Language. The new click and drag interface along with the simplified commands of Natural Language will allow any robotics user to get up and running with programming their robots as soon as possible.
The first release of ROBOTC Graphical Language is available for the VEX IQ platform for use with the standard VEX IQ Clawbot and Autopilot Robots. All ROBOTC 4.0 users will receive access to the new Graphical Language interface at no additional cost! Our plans over the next few months are to extend the Graphical Language interface to all of ROBOTC's support platforms, including the Robot Virtual Worlds technology. You can download the preview version today at http://www.robotc.net/graphical/.
The new ROBOTC Graphical programming environment adds a number of new features we'd like to highlight:
Graphical Language Command List (Drag and Drop)
With the new ROBOTC Graphical Mode, we've updated our "Functions Library" to match the style of the Graphical interface. This new mode will allow you to drag and drop blocks of code from the "Graphical Functions" menu into your program to get your program created even faster!
New Language Commands for Easier Programs
We also added some new language extensions to both ROBOTC and Natural Language; such as the simplistic "Repeat" command. Prior to the Repeat command, users would need to copy and paste large sections of code or use a looping structure (like a 'for' or 'while' loop) in order to have a set of actions repeat a number of times. With the new "Repeat" command, however, users can simply specify how many times they would like the code to run, with no complex coding required. And users who wish to make an "infinite loop" can use the "repeat forever" command to accomplish this task quickly!
Commenting Blocks of Code!
Another awesome tool that we've implemented in ROBOTC Graphical is the "comment out" feature. You can now comment out an entire line of code just by clicking on the block's line number. The robot ignores lines of code that are "commented out" when the program runs, which makes this feature very useful when testing or debugging code. This new tool is unique to ROBOTC's Graphical interface.
Updated and Simplified Toolbar
Sometimes navigating menus as a new user can be a little overwhelming – so many options to choose from and lots of questions about what each option is used for. To help with this, we've redesigned ROBOTC's toolbar to make getting up and running easier. We put the most used commands on a larger toolbar so new users have an area to easily click to download firmware, send their code to their robot, and run their programs without having to use the standard menu interface.
Convert to Text-Based Natural Language
Because each Graphical Natural Language block corresponds to a real ROBOTC or Natural Language function, users will be able to graduate from Graphical Programming to full text-based programming with the press of a single button. This allows users to naturally transition from Graphical Natural Language to the text based Natural Language (or ROBOTC), without having to worry about manually converting the code line-by-line!
Teacher's Guide and Sample Programs
The new graphical interface includes over 50 new sample programs to help you get up and running with working examples and demo code. In addition, we've also developed a 30+page guide to walk new (and existing) users through the new Graphical Programming interface and getting started with the VEX IQ platform. You can find a link to the programming guide here and also on the ROBOTC Graphical page.
This initial release is only the beginning and we're planning on improving the software with more features and flexibility over the coming months.
Future Support/Features:
- Copy and Paste
- Undo/Redo Support
- Support for custom robots/configurations via an updated "Motors and Sensor Setup" interface.
- Dynamic Loop and Command Parameters (based on Motors and Sensor Setup / Robot Configuration)
- Tooltips, Contextual Help, and more!

Let us know what you think! If you have any feedback or questions, please send them along via the ROBOTC's VEX IQ forums.
A Teacher's POV: Fun With VEX IQ Remote Controls
Whether they are in elementary school, middle school, or high school, students really enjoy programming their robots with remote controls. Luckily, the VEX IQ wireless controller allows you to do just that. ROBOTC allows you to create your own remote control programs to customize each joystick axis and button controls. Moreover, you can use both Natural Language and full ROBOTC with the remote controls.
Both the VEX IQ brain and the remote control require a radio controller for communication. The radio controller has to be in each in order to use the remote control. Additionally, a battery needs to be placed into the remote control for the wireless communication. Just like the battery for the VEX IQ brain, the battery for the remote control is rechargeable.
In order for the VEX IQ brain and the controller to communicate, they must be paired together. With both devices turned off, connect the two devices together with the tether cable that is included with the VEX IQ Starter Kit with Controller. The tether cable is just a standard Ethernet cable. Turn on the VEX IQ brain by pressing the check button. The controller will automatically link and pair with the VEX IQ brain.
Once your connection has been established, the green light will blink on both the remote control and the VEX IQ brain. You will not have to link the tether cable with the remote control the next time you turn on the VEX IQ brain or the remote control. In the classroom, you can assign each robot to a remote control by giving each a number. That way, you never have to link the remote control with the VEX IQ brain. Or, you can just have the students do a quick set up at the beginning of class. Either way will work.
ROBOTC can access all of the data from the VEX IQ remote control by referencing the button and axes by their described names. Joystick buttons return values of..
• 1 – Pressed
• 0 – Not Pressed/Released

When using the VEX IQ remote control, make sure you switch to your "Controller Mode" to Tele-Op.
Alright, now you can begin programming (either in Natural Language or full ROBOTC) and have some fun.
As teachers, we all know to expect the unexpected. I recently had the students on a Friday, with a long weekend in front of them. Therefore, I did not want to start a new concept, for I would have to re-teach it after the long weekend. So, I decided to set up a quick in-class competition with the VEX IQ Challenge Field and some Bucky Balls and rings.
I allowed the students to make up the parameters for the game, gave them some time to devise some strategy, downloaded some sample programs to run the remote controls, and let the fun begin. The students had a great time and the activity will serve as a springboard for future investigation into how to customize the remote control programs.

The Almighty Potato: A History and Recipes
The potato has become a symbol of Irish cuisine, but how did that happen? We dig deep to bring you the history of the spud, as well as some enticing recipes.
If you never get sick of potatoes, try some of these satisfying potato recipes.
By Lauren Haslett
Fear of the New
While the rest of Europe was going mad over the potato some fans going so far as to wear crowns of potato blossoms in their hair the British took longer to catch on. Unsure about this new food, some very pious Brits saw the potato as belonging to the domain of Satan, since it grew underground. To test out the tuber's culinary possibilities without actually having to ingest this potentially dangerous new food themselves, the English decided to pass it on to one of the earliest populations they colonized the Irish.

Battleship Texas Dry Berth Project: Preserving an Invaluable Place in History
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is currently moving forward with critical vessel repairs to the Battleship Texas (BB-35). While now committed to making those critical repairs, TPWD maintains the long-term goal of the construction of a dry berth at the Battleship Texas State Historic Site in La Porte, Texas.
In June 2012, the Battleship Texas began taking on water at rates as high as 2,000 gallons per minute due to leaks in her fragile hull. TPWD, together with the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), the Texas Historical Commission, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and the other stakeholders for the dry berth project, determined the most critical repairs necessary for the ship and conducted those repairs. To finance this urgent undertaking, TPWD utilized funds originally allocated for the Battleship Texas Dry Berth Project.
TPWD has been careful to comply with federal regulations set forth by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The recent flooding incidents served as a strong reminder that the Battleship Texas is in need of extensive structural repairs, whether or not she is placed into a dry berth.
Project Background
In 1948, Battleship Texas became the nation's first permanent battleship memorial museum, and she was secured in a slip off the Houston Ship Channel adjacent to the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site. A veteran of both world wars, she is one-of-a-kind as the only remaining dreadnought. Over the last sixty years, Battleship Texas has been subject to continuous environmental and physical threats while resting in the shallow, brackish waters of the ship channel. To protect and preserve this unique National Historic Landmark, a new dry berth is envisioned to provide her with a permanent home.
In 2008, the Texas Legislature appropriated $25 million for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to dry berth the Battleship Texas. In 2009, the Legislative Budget Board approved funding for the dry berth project, provided that the ship was dry berthed in her current location adjacent to the San Jacinto Battleground. The Battleship Texas Foundation (BTF) pledged an additional $4 million toward the dry berth project.
With this funding, TPWD was tasked with accomplishing three things:
- Make only those repairs necessary to get the ship into a dry berth.
- Design and construct a dry berth.
- Place the ship into the dry berth and make her presentable to the public.
Dry Berth Still the Plan; Repairs Necessary First
In 2010, TPWD hired AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) to survey the condition of the battleship, provide preliminary design concepts for a dry berth, and conduct the studies necessary to comply with federal environmental and historic preservation regulations.
While conducting the conceptual design, TPWD carried out the studies and processes necessary to meet the requirements of NEPA, as well as Section 106 of NHPA. As part of these two processes, TPWD conducted proactive stakeholder outreach, including a stakeholder workshop, regular consultation meetings (as required by Section 106), and a large-scale public open house. TPWD also put out a formal call for alternatives from the public, but no viable or reasonable design alternatives were received.
In 2011, the project team finalized a Conceptual Design Report that outlines two significant findings:
- Key components of the vessel are in much worse condition than anticipated.
- The cost for each of the dry berth concepts greatly exceed the available budget for the project.
TPWD determined that the available budget for the dry berth project would be insufficient to fund even the vessel repairs, let alone vessel repairs and construction of the dry berth. Therefore, TPWD is in need of additional funding sources to protect and preserve the battleship.
What do the necessary ship repairs entail?
Ship repairs will work toward stabilizing the Battleship Texas in accordance with the U.S. Department of Interior's "Standards for Historic Vessel Preservation," which define stabilization as:
"the act or process of applying measures designed to arrest, retard, or prevent deterioration of a vessel, and to assure its structural integrity. This may include the rendering of the vessel weather resistant and watertight. The essential form of the vessel shall be maintained during this process."
Critical components of the internal structure of the ship have severely deteriorated since her days of active service. For example, the ship's two 1,100-ton engines (together weighing over 4.4 million pounds) are resting on frames that are approximately 80 to 90 percent disintegrated. The frames supporting the boilers, the steering gear, and the aft emergency diesel generator are also targeted for prioritized replacement due to their similarly severe condition.
The degraded steel frames under the heavy machinery will be cut out completely and replaced to original specification where possible, and will be augmented with "doubler" frames otherwise. These "doublers" will be cut to the original specification and attached to the existing deteriorated frames and adjacent steel. While the majority of the work will not involve the replacement of the outer hull plating, the ship's resistance to flooding will be greatly improved by the proposed internal repairs. This is because the replaced frames will create a system of isolated watertight spaces within the hull of the ship. If one space floods due to a hull leak, the water will be confined and unable to flow into adjacent areas. The movement of water within the ship through the existing degraded framework was a major problem during the flooding events of summer 2012, adding significant cost and time to addressing the events.
As available funding permits, the ship will be made as watertight and weather-resistant as appropriate and approved. While a list of prioritized repairs has been developed by the project team, the estimated costs for those repairs are greater than the funding currently available. Repairs will be made in order of priority, until the funding is exhausted. The remainder of the repairs can be addressed if and when additional funding is provided.
As the battleship cannot be moved for the repairs, all repairs must be executed with the ship in her current location. The ship is a historic artifact and a U.S. National Historic Landmark. Great care must be taken to ensure that the cultural significance of the ship is not compromised.
How do the vessel repairs affect the battleship and the outcome of the dry berth project?
- First, when the repair project is complete, there will be very little, if any, changes to the ship that will be visibly identifiable. The repairs to be done are in the interior of the ship where the general public does not have access.
- Second, repairs to the ship will not preclude a dry berth. All of the repairs are necessary regardless of whether the ship stays in her current wet berth or is eventually moved to a dry berth.
- Finally, there will still be repairs necessary to the ship when the immediate repair project is completed (i.e. when the available funding is exhausted). Even so, TPWD will be significantly closer to completing the charge of making the necessary repairs required to get the ship into a protected dry berth.
September 5, 2014: Labor Day found the structural repairs to the Battleship Texas still progressing smoothly and significantly ahead of schedule! Taylor Marine Construction (TMC) is well over 90% complete with the repair work in the Chief Petty Officer (CPO) area, and over 60% complete with the work on both the port and starboard sides at Frames 104, 110 and 115 aft of the engine rooms and forward of trimming tank D-12. The design and construction team can clearly see the end of the work in site, and determined that the August meeting would be the last regularly scheduled monthly construction meeting necessary on the project. A milestone, indeed, considering that the team has met at least once a month every month since April of 2013!
It is anticipated that the TMC work will be completed and TMC will be fully demobilized from both the ship and the staging area by Thanksgiving 2014. This is a full 6 months ahead of schedule! So, expect only one or two more updates here on the website on this project…until additional funding is realized. We are thankful for your continued interest!

Do you believe this is simply trickle-down Machiavellianism in much the same way that Communism trickled down as an aberration of its original intent?Larisa Alexandrovna
Physical evils are in nature inseparable from animal life, they commenced existence with it, and are its concomitants through life; so that the same nature which gives being to the one, gives birth to the other also; the one is not before or after the other, but they are coexistent together, and contemporaries; and as they began existence in a necessary dependance on each other, so they terminate together in death and dissolution. This is the original order to which animal nature is subjected, as applied to every species of it. The beasts of the field, the fowls of the air, the fishes of the sea, with reptiles, and all manner of beings, which are possessed with animal life; nor is pain, sickness, or mortality any part of God's Punishment for sin. On the other hand sensual happiness is no part of the reward of virtue: to reward moral actions with a glass of wine or a shoulder of mutton, would be as inadequate, as to measure a triangle with sound, for virtue and vice pertain to the mind, and their merits or demerits have their just effects on the conscience, as has been before evinced: but animal gratifications are common to the human race indiscriminately, and also, to the beasts of the field: and physical evils as promiscuously and universally extend to the whole, so "That there is no knowing good or evil by all that is before us, for all is vanity." It was not among the number of possibles, that animal life should be exempted from mortality: omnipotence itself could not have made it capable of externalization and indissolubility; for the self same nature which constitutes animal life, subjects it to decay and dissolution; so that the one cannot be without the other, any more than there could be a compact number of mountains without valleys, or that I could exist and not exist at the same time, or that God should effect any other contradiction in nature...Ethan Allen
When a scene is being shot, it is very difficult to know what one wants it to say, and even if one does know, there is always a difference between what one has in mind and the result on film. I never think ahead of the shot I'm going to make the following day because if I did, I'd only produce a bad imitation of the original image in my mind. So what you see on the screen doesn't represent my exact meaning, but only my possibilities of expression, with all the limitations implied in that phrase. Perhaps the scene reveals my incapacity to do better; perhaps I felt subconsciously ironic toward it. But it is on film; the rest is up to you.Michelangelo Antonioni
Most people are even less original in their dreaming than in their waking life; their dreams are more monotonous than their thoughts and oddly enough, more literary.Wystan Hugh Auden
The poet who writes "free" verse is like Robinson Crusoe on his desert island: he must do all his cooking, laundry and darning for himself. In a few exceptional cases, this manly independence produces something original and impressive, but more often the result is squalor dirty sheets on the unmade bed and empty bottles on the unswept floor.Wystan Hugh Auden
We have also sound houses, where we practice and demonstrate all sounds and their generation. We have harmonies which you have not, of quarter sounds and lesser slides of sounds. Divers instruments of music likewise to you unknown, some sweeter than any you have; together with bells and rings that are dainty and sweet. We represent small sounds as great and deep; likewise divers trembling and warblings of sounds, which in their original are entire. We represent and imitate all articulate sounds and letters, and the voices of beasts and birds. We have certain helps which set to the ear to do further the hearing greatly. We have also divers strange and artificial echoes, reflecting the voice many times, and as if it were tossing it; and some that give back the voice louder than it came, some shriller and some deeper; yea, some rendering the voice, differing in the letters or articulate sound from that they receive. We have also means to convey sounds in tubes and pipes, in strange lines and distances...Francis Bacon
The original concept [of Cool World], way back when I sold the film, was that a live action cartoonist would go to bed with a cartoon woman in the cartoon world. They had a child immediately that was a strange combination of live action and animation in one character. This son of the underground cartoonist hates himself for what he is and isn't and goes back to the real world to track his father down. The picture was originally an R rated horror film. Slash and the rest of the characters in Cool World were just friends of Holli and looked nothing like their child.Ralph Bakshi
The major flaw in the American justice system is that appeals focus only on procedural errors, and one's guilt or innocence is never again an issue after the original trial, even if that trial reached the wrong result.F. Lee Bailey
There is no original truth, only original error.Gaston Bachelard
The original sin is to limit the Is. Don't.Richard Bach
A difficulty in seeking Truth is the notion that certain men are ordained of heaven to seek Truth for all mankind and that we are to accept their acquisitions in the place of seeking for ourselves. We can never attain Truth by proxy. By divine ordination every man is an original investigator of Truth. He denies his own reason who hands over his religious views and opinions to any priest or religious teacher We are to accept nothing on the opinions of others. What another man has thought and believed, what a Church Council or synod has formulated is nothing to me, only that it may be a reason for personal investigation ending in acceptance or rejection as I may find it in harmony with reason and well established truth.Benjamin Fish Austin
Rich men's houses are seldom beautiful, rarely comfortable, and never original. It is a constant source of surprise to people of moderate means to observe how little a big fortune contributes to Beauty.Emma Alice Margaret Asquith, Countess of Oxford
Such was God's original love for man, that He was willing to stoop to any sacrifice to save him; and the gift of a Saviour was the mere expression of that love.Albert Barnes
Our Yes towards life from the very beginning carries within it the Divine No which breaks forth from the antithesis and points away from what now was the thesis to the original and final synthesis. The No is not the last and highest truth, but the call from home which comes in answer to our asking for God in the world.Karl Barth
Seventeen years after its intial release, The Empire Strikes Back is still as thrilling and involving as ever. Because of the high quality of the original product, it doesn't show a hint of dating. Neither [Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope nor Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi] were able to match the narrative scope of Empire, which today remains one of the finest and most rousing science fiction tales ever committed to the screen.James Berardinelli
The original cowboys were hard-working ranchers and settlers who tamed a vast wilderness. In the process, they had to contend with violent outlaws as well as warlike Indian tribes. The honest men on the frontier did not wring their hands in fear, uncertainty and moral paralysis; they stood up to evil men and defeated them.Andrew Bernstein
It's rare that the sequel to a good movie lives up to expectations. Such is the case with Die Hard 2, the somewhat-muddled but still entertaining return of Bruce Willis' John McClane. Fortunately, the original Die Hard was good enough that there's room for the second installment to be enjoyable while still not matching the pace or possessing the flair of its predecessor.James Berardinelli

When I read James Laube advising in a recent Wine Spectator column that "Many Washington reds . . . make for good alternatives to their counterparts from California," I could almost feel the heat of Paul Gregutt's blood boiling.
Gregutt is a well-known wine writer and authority in the Pacific Northwest and the author of the just published Washington Wines & Wineries: The Essential Guide. Gregutt is a partisan of Washington wine quality. I could easily imagine he might have claimed that many Washington reds would make good replacements for their California counterparts!
Frankly, he'd be right. Washington's wine industry is second only to California (albeit a distant second) in the number of wineries and amount of wine produced, yet many otherwise worldly wine lovers are still unacquainted with the high quality and consistency of wine being made there. The overwhelming market presence of California has left many consumers only vaguely aware that they make wine in Washington at all.
That's kind of okay for many of us in the Northwest who don't relish more competition when trying to snatch up those special lots of fine boutique bottlings from Washington's mostly small-scale producers. Yet at the same time, we realize the state's wines are owed more respect than they often get and are glad to see a book that helps in that cause. As Gregutt writes in his introduction, ". . .it is long past time for a critical appraisal of the state as a world-class winemaking region . . ."
Washington Wines & Wineries: The Essential Guide goes a long way toward fixing that.
For those who need the appropriate grounding, the book begins with a cogent history of Washington as a winemaking region, followed by a chapter on appellations, with some very nice maps. A look at Gregutt's "Top Ten Vineyards" is useful for consumers unfamiliar with the state's prime grape sources, helping characterize bottles with those vineyard names.
In such a "get acquainted" set of chapters, though, one might have hoped for more discussion of terroir in the AVAs. The importance of blends in Washington wines—in my experience they tend to outshine the single-vineyard wines—could have gotten more coverage as well. And for a state whose wine industry tagline is "Washington: The Perfect Climate for Wine," a deeper look at the climate itself—rainfall, temperature, growing degree days—and its effects on the vineyards and wines would have been welcome.
Still, Gregutt's well well-written examinations of Washington's wine basics will greatly help readers trying to put the state's wines into context. But the heart of the book for many consumers will be in the listing of winery profiles. Here, Gregutt presents his personal picks (which, for what it's worth, I think are exactly correct) of wineries using a vaguely sporting analogy: The Leaders, The Specialists, The Bench, The Rookies.
In selecting his chosen subset from among the state's 500-plus wineries, Gregutt has applied his own unique 100-point scale to each winery (not individual wines), allotting 30 points each for his scores on a winery's style, consistency, and value, with an additional 10 points for a winery's contribution "to the development and improvement of the Washington wine industry."
It is an intriguing concept that works well. "Style" would seem to be difficult since it is so subject to interpretation, as is the "industry contribution" category. But "Value" is an excellent—and too little discussed—variable for rating wineries, while "Consistency" is vital to any evaluation of a winery's overall character. Gregutt's well-explained approach is superb and more importantly, reliable and accurate.
One would wish, though, for a bit more. There are no vintage descriptions (is every Washington vintage perfect?), and there is no specific buying advice (which would seem to be needed for a wine book to be "essential"). This is not the book to take into the wine ship to compare the 2004 Andrew Will Ciel Du Cheval with the 2004 Andrew Will Champoux.
The book is also visually less than alluring once you get past the attractive cover. Black and white label shots are all the graphics you get, so readers gain no visual appreciation for the place or the people. The text—though extremely well written and full of Gregutt's not-shy personality—is dense and a tad imposing for the non-specialist. This is, rather than a quick read, a book to study, take notes on, and savor over time in order to absorb its considerable value.
For those who want to gain an education on the country's second largest wine region (as well as become infected by the author's enthusiasm for it), this is a seminal book. There is nothing else available today that explains from a local expert's point of view just why American wine buyers should look beyond California for great wine.

"i'm using asha 203 wt an updated software of 20.52 but my chat and mail are not working. Please help me out."
I have the same issue with 20.52. e-mail application does not show any email provider, so I can't add any account. When I try to "Update service" it connects somewhere and says that service is updated. But the list is still empty.
If I take from the Mail application menu the option "About" and then Options and "Upgrade", I am geting error "Communication error. Try again later". And that comes so quickly that I suspect it does not even try to connect anywhere.
Please fix this.

text: The goals of physical activity during pregnancy include maintaining a sense of maternal well-being, avoiding fetal harm, and establishing a pattern of regular activity that will ultimately prevent the onset of chronic disease associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Most women can participate in a wide range of recreational activities and maintain an active lifestyle during pregnancy, although those with medical or obstetrical complications may require modifications. Modifications may also be necessary for women who regularly participated in strenuous recreational or competitive physical activities before their pregnancies. In addition, women who are active before pregnancy may choose to modify their exercise programs somewhat; for example, weight gain or joint laxity may prompt women to walk instead of jog or to exercise indoors instead of outdoors because of improved environmental control. Because of all the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy, activity recommendations for pregnant women are subject to modifications. Finally, concerns for fetal health dictate other changes in order to optimize fetal outcomes.

Electronics retailer RadioShack has announced it will be closing stores throughout the country. According to the Chicago Sun-Times:
"FORT WORTH, Texas — RadioShack plans to close up to 1,100 of its underperforming stores in the U.S. and reported a wider loss for its fourth quarter as customer traffic slowed during the critical holiday season.
Its stock tumbled almost 21 percent in premarket trading Tuesday.
CEO Joseph Magnacca said in statement that the planned store closings would leave RadioShack with more than 4,000 U.S. stores, including more than 900 dealer franchise locations. The company didn't immediately identify what stores are being closed.
The electronics retailer said that the stores to be closed are being selected based on location, area demographics, lease duration and financial performance."

Menstrual problems and obesity
Women who have too much fat on their body may find that their monthly cycle ( menstrual cycle) is disrupted. They may stop having periods altogether. [46] [28] [49]
Fat seems to increase levels of a hormone called testosterone in the body. This may cause the menstrual problems. It can also mean you grow some coarse hair on your face.
Women with a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome tend to put on weight easily. They may also have irregular periods and grow more hair on their body or face.
Hormones are chemicals that are made in certain parts of the body. They travel through the bloodstream and have an effect on other parts of the body. For example, the female sex hormone oestrogen is made in a woman's ovaries. Oestrogen has many different effects on a woman's body. It makes the breasts grow at puberty and helps control periods. It is also needed to get pregnant.
menstrual cycle
The menstrual cycle is the regular monthly process that causes an egg to be released from the ovaries so that a woman can get pregnant. The menstrual cycle causes her period, the bleeding that happens if she does not get pregnant.
polycystic ovary syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS for short) is a problem that affects a woman's ovaries. Eggs stored in your ovaries grow into small lumps called cysts. This can stop the eggs leaving the ovary and can cause infertility. Women with PCOS also have an imbalance in their hormones.
Testosterone is a sex hormone. When boys go through puberty, testosterone causes the development of male characteristics like a deep voice and a muscular body. Testosterone is also known to affect men's sex drive and mood. Although testosterone is thought of as a 'male hormone', women also make testosterone (although they make much less of it then men).

Laser: "Yesterday's vote in the House is far from the needed, comprehensive solution to the problem of gun violence, but we are hopeful that this vote signals the beginning of Congressional action in response to the thousands of innocent lives lost each year to gun violence."
Contact: Sean Thibault or Howie Levine202.387.2800 | email@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., May 30, 2014 -- In response to the House of Representatives' passage of the Thompson-King Amendment to provide $19.5 million to improve background check records related to gun purchases, Rachel Laser, Deputy Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, issued the following statement:
The scars of gun violence are present in too many of our communities, and we now add to the list of gun-related tragedies the horrors of one week ago in Santa Barbara. Yesterday's vote in the House is far from the needed, comprehensive solution to the problem of gun violence, but we are hopeful that this vote signals the beginning of Congressional action in response to the thousands of innocent lives lost each year to gun violence.
Background checks are a crucial safeguard preventing guns from falling into dangerous hands. Thousands of missing records will be added to the system because of this vote, but this is just a small step. Only six out of every ten gun purchases include a background check. We must continue to push for every gun sale to include a background check.
The Jewish tradition emphasizes the sanctity and value of human life. The Bible commands, "Thou shalt not murder" (Exodus 20:13). The Talmud teaches us that "he who takes one life it is as though he has destroyed the universe, and he who saves one life it is as though he has saved the universe" (Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5). The carelessness with which guns take human lives stands in direct contradiction to our moral obligations.
We will continue to carry out our moral duty by working to ensure this gun violence prevention measure is passed in the Senate and by continuing to fight for universal background checks and other measures to protect Americans nationwide from the scourge of gun violence.
###The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union for Reform Judaism, whose more than 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, whose membership includes more than 1,800 Reform rabbis.

Good morning,
We are seeing an issue in Microsoft Word on any of the computers where Adobe CS3 is also installed. When you open up word, you get the following error message:
The function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that requires macro language support. When this software was installed, you (or your administrator) chose not to install support for macros or controls.
This comes up a few times as you launch Word and you keep clicking OK until it goes away. Using Word and saving work is OK, then when you close Word you get the same error message once more. Click OK, and try close Word again, and you get the following error:
Changes have been made that affect the global template, Normal. Do you want to save those changes?
[Yes] [No] [Cancel]
Click no and Word then closes.
It seems to be tied to the 'disable web and VBA features' setting in active directory. If you enable that setting to disable these (which we have done with our students for security reasons), then it seems as though Adobe CS3 has some integration features with Office which turning these settings off kills.
RM Support have drawn a blank on this, I was hoping someone might have seen this issue or have some suggestions?
Many thanks,

Applying extra virgin olive oil for hair growth and for treating scalp issues is an effective treatment that was know and used for thousands of years
The culprit that cause hair thinning is DHT (di hydro testosterone), an hormone. An enzyme in the follicles induces the conversion the male hormone testosterone into this form. DHT cause hair loss, more in men than in females. In males hair loss can reach partial or full baldness, in females the phenomenon is less dramatic. Hair loss is natural, the trouble starts when more hair strands are lost daily than the number of new hair strands.
Undesired scalp conditions are dry scalp, dandruff and itchy scalp feeling. Besides from the inconvenience they feel, many people react to scalp conditions by unknowingly scratching their head.
The body reacts to nutritional deficiencies and to the presence of toxins. Skin, hair and scalp issues are symptoms. The body tries to detoxify and reacts to nutritional deficiencies, There are thirteen known vitamins, only five can be produced by the body the other eight must be supplied by the food we eat. Most important to skin and hair are vitamin E and vitamin A both can be obtained by consuming daily extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil also helps to detoxify the body. Best is to eat in compliance to the Mediterranean foods diet.
Balanced nutrition must be enhanced by correct skin care and hair care. Using cold pressed (extra virgin) olive oil to gently massage the hair and shampooing with olive oil based shampoo are recommended.
Messaging the scalp on weekly basis or even 2-3 times a week with extra virgin olive oil will keep the scalp hydrated. Once not dry, you will feel the difference and you will not have the urge to scratch your scalp.
Extra virgin olive oil treats hair loss and scalp conditions in one treatment. Use your microwave to warm up enough olive oil (1 spoon for short hair, 2-3 spoons for long hair). You may choose other means to warm up the oil. Pour the olive oil on your palms, rub them together and use your palms to rub your scalp and to gently massage your hair. Use a brush to reach all hair strands. After that, put a bath cap or towel on your head and let the oil stay on your hair and scalp for about an hour. Rinse your hair with lukewarm water. Use olive oil based shampoo as needed. I found olive oil soap to work best for me.

Leverage is a U.S. television drama series on TNT that premiered in December, 2008.[1] The series is produced by director/executive producer Dean Devlin's production company Electric Television. Leverage follows a five-person team of thieves, computer experts and con artists, headed up by former insurance investigator Nate Ford, who use their skills to right corporate and governmental injustices inflicted on common citizens. The team was formed in Chicago before moving to Los Angeles headquarters in Season One. Although disbanded at the end of the season, the team members gathered. then reformed in Boston after persuading Ford to lead them again, and have set up a new base in Ford's loft apartment.
The first season of Leverage consisted of 13 episodes, which writers John Rogers and Chris Downey, and producer Dean Devlin intended to be a complete story, should the series not be renewed. On February 2, 2009, TNT announced that it had renewed the show for a second, fifteen-episode season.[2][3] The second season moved production from Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon,[4] and premiered on July 15, 2009. The second season will run in two parts: a seven-episode summer season followed by a further eight episodes in the winter. No airdates for the winter half-season have been announced.
Former insurance investigator Nate Ford and his band of cohorts act as modern-day Robin Hoods, pulling elaborate scams targeted against the greedy and the corrupt.
Thirteen episodes were commissioned for the first season.[7] The series began airing on December 7, 2008.
In the pilot, Victor Dubenich persuades Ford, a retired insurance investigator with intricate knowledge of scams, to lead a team of talented criminals to steal back aeronautical plans allegedly stolen from him by a competitor. After a successful heist, Dubenich double-crosses them, withdrawing their payment and attempting to blow them up in an abandoned warehouse. In retaliation, the group decides to run a con on Victor, eventually exposing his corruption and implicating him in a bribery attempt, and having him arrested by the FBI. At the end of the episode it is revealed that by short-selling stock in the target company each team member made over $32 million; however rather than retire, they decide to keep working for the thrill each gets doing the work they are best at, and the added bonus that they enjoy the improved performance they get by combining their efforts with those of a team of individuals who also excel at what they do. Ford's condition for continuing is that he is allowed to select their jobs, steering them from crimes engaged in for pure profit to jobs undertaken to benefit those with a genuine need who cannot use the legal system or other 'legitimate' methods to redress their grievances—typically, as most later episodes play out, some person or persons victimized by a wealthy individual or corporation capable of bribing politicians and other important persons, hiring the best lawyers and generally manipulating the legal system. (As everyone is now independently rich, and the only real reason to continue taking on jobs is the thrill, not money, they are all more or less agreeable to this.) The episode ends with a couple mourning the death of their 17 year old daughter, who died in a similar fashion to Ford's son. Ford says "We provide... Leverage."
In the first regular episode, The Homecoming Job, the team (now operating as Leverage Consulting & Associates) runs a scam on the head of a military contracting firm responsible for critically injuring their client, a US Army reservist. Ford's old insurance company is mentioned in this episode. They learn that the company has stolen taxpayer money from the government, and Nathan insists they arrange to return it to the government (although they do keep a portion for the hospital treating the injured veteran.) During this episode, the team members realize they enjoy their work not just for the thrill of excelling at their criminal craft, but because they are actually doing good things and helping people who deserve to be helped.
The series ranks as ad-supported cable's #1 entertainment program in the Tuesday 10 p.m. (ET/PT) time slot among viewers, households and adults 25-54. The Dec. 7 premiere was watched by 5.6 million viewers and scored TNT's best original series telecast ever in delivery of adults 18-49 during the regular broadcast season. Through its first nine episodes, Leverage has averaged 3.2 million viewers and 1.4 million adults 18-49 in Live + Same Day viewing. The first six episodes scored strong growth when comparing Live to Live + 7 numbers, with total viewership rising 33% to 4.1 million and adults 18-49 rising 42% to 1.9 million.
On July 14, 2009, Paramount Home Entertainment & CBS DVD released the First Season of Leverage on DVD in Region 1 (US only).
Leverage is shot using a pair of Red One video cameras in 4096 x 2304 at 24 fps, though resolution is reduced in post production to 1080p. Extensive use of Steadicam helps the audience participate in the scene.[citation needed]

NYSE Euronext Shareholder Alert: Briscoe Law Firm And Powers Taylor, LLP Investigate Sale To IntercontinentalExchange
Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the sale of NYSE Euronext ("NYX") (NYSE: NYX) to IntercontinentalExchange for shareholders. Under the terms of the proposed deal valued at approximately $8 billion, NYX shareholders will only receive consideration valued at $33.12 for each share of NYX stock owned. Specifically, shareholders will have the option to elect to receive (i) $33.12 in cash; (ii) 0.2581 IntercontinentalExchange common shares; or (iii) a mix of $11.27 in cash plus 0.1703 ICE common shares.

Our lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders."
