There's actually 3 player characters.
Are they serious when they say that the screenshots are actually taken from console version ? At a first glance it doesn't seem to be the case.
Also to go back to the GTA IV's graphics and framerate on console... everything was good, especially on XBOX 360 where it did obviously ran on higher res than PS3, but what was most annoying to me is the terrible dips of framerate in gunfights especially when there's a lot of smoke and fire (Otherwise called Alpha effects), the game had the feeling of a game maxed out on a non-capable PC, 15-20FPS wasn't that ideal for gunfights and it's a bit of a shame considering that this actually is a big part of the experience, i did almost have the same experience on my PC, although i'm sure that after playing it on my new one with more CPU and GPU horsepower to spare i won't have that much to complain about.
My only wish (for the graphical side of things of course, in reality i have a lot of expectations for this new GTA release) for the 360/PS3 release is a better use of GPU ressources, in other words better performance in intense and explosive gunfight situations where GTA IV did suck.

I suppose it was a rumor about January 2014 released? I saw some information about it, but it hasn't been confirmed anyway.

Come listen to us discuss the Playstation Experience in Episode 11 of Open Source. zoolophage writes in!
Oh my god, this is going to be really tuff... intentionally this was a joke, but apparently the rest of EUROGAMER.net community is turning it in a kind of a funny answer to throw at me. Sure it made us all have a good laugh the first time, but seriously if you have nothing intresting to say then you might as well just throw your bags on the truck and drive away, coz this isn't the way i roll.
Stop annoying me guys, you're all getting on my nerves, and it's getting quite ridiculous...

What does this "CRANCKING UP TEMPS IN GIRLS' ASS" entail Lyserberg. Talk us through it.
I really regret this now, with clowns like neilka and others around, there's no way to have a serious and constructive talk about video games, it's a shame.
@Ka-Blamo Have you ever heared of "that's the way how i roll" or something along those lines ? That's the one i was looking for.

"I used this card for my twins 1st bday pool bash and was able to make it work with two names and the "1" inside the ball! It was so cute and easy to coordinate colors with :) Steph"
"The finished product was EXACTLY as pictured online with regard to coloring and picture print quality. This invitation turned out absolutely adorable and the paper quality was great. I highly recommend this cute invitation!"
"Using these for my son's 1st birthday--a July pool party. They look fantastic and came super-fast! Another great tiny prints experience."
"it was easy to make it our own with a little help from their basic design. It was just perfect for my stepdaughter who is turning 9. The back didn't allow for me to have centered text but I made a comment to ask if they could center it and make it larger - and they did it free of charge! and it was perfect. The colors are exactly as they were on the screen."
"This invitation was perfect for my son's first birthday at the beach. We personalized the back with additional info about the event, and really enjoyed the final product. Furthermore, Elise in customer service/editing helped us to make changes to the invite as proofs were created. Her edits were quick and thoughtful, and she was extremely gracious if we requested one more small change. Overall, great experience."


text: "I am anxious for you and the boy's future — make the boy interested in natural history if you can, it is better than games — they encourage it at some schools — I know you will keep him out in the open air — try and make him believe in a God, it is comforting. Oh my dear my dear what dreams I have had of his future and yet oh my girl I know you will face it stoically…" Whatever his flaws, this is a remarkable piece of writing; Scott's final letters to his wife, as his Anatarctic expedition reached its close. Very sad.

Cosatu says poor blacks will be denied a basic service because they cannot afford the price hikes.
Salga says Eskom's tariff hike may cause municipalities to cave under the financial pressure.
Eskom head Brian Dames says there's a balance needed between Eskom's electricity and financial situation.

Haiti Hopes $160 M For High-end Tourism Pays Off
"Haiti is ready for tourism. Haiti is a tourism destination," said Tourism Minister Stephanie Villedrouin, a rare constant in the shakeup-prone Martelly administration. "If we want to be a sovereign country, if we don't want to depend on other countries, we need to figure out ourselves how to move forward and how to get revenue, and tourism must be number one on the list."
The government's projects include $13.2 million to build an airport and infrastructure on the southern island of Ile-a-Vache and another $8 million to develop the coastal town of Jacmel. Officials say these efforts will create more than 1,600 direct jobs and 6,500 indirect jobs. Tourism generated $200 million last year, Villedrouin said. This in a country whose annual budget is $1 billion.
Lest tourists fear Haiti unravels with unrest, the government is also building a force of 53 "tourism police officers" who will learn Spanish and English, first aid skills, customer service and work in the outposts where officials want to bring tourists. Funding comes from the Justice Ministry.
Other plans include making use of a little-known "investment code" that gives 15-year tax breaks to the owners of new hotels, many of whom are from the country's powerful and wealthy families. This law also allows hotel owners to ship supplies through customs without paying taxes.Haiti used to be the stomping grounds for the rich and famous in the 1970s and early 1980s as they came in search of late-night Voodoo ceremonies, rum-fueled revelry and Cold War-era conspiracy theories. Guests included Mick Jagger, Truman Capote and Jackie Onassis. But an AIDS scare in the early 1980s sent tourists to less exciting destinations. And the ouster of former dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" in 1986 spawned years of political upheaval as governments took turns toppling one another. The lone visitors became diplomats, peacekeepers, aid workers, missionaries and emigrants, all symbols of the country's problems.

Mathematica never returns inexact answers when you give it exact expressions. If you append a dot to a number it is considered approximate, so Mathematica will calculate approximate answers. Otherwise it will just return a symbolic expression.

TYSON: Capitol no exception to windy Kansas days
By CARYN TYSON, Kansas State Senator | 3/31/2014
Several bills were debated and passed on the Senate floor last week. Topics ranged from the Second Amendment to removing required mandates for renewable energy.
• House Bill 2578 has to do with requiring applications for transferring certain restricted firearms to be processed in a timely manner. The bill passed the Senate 40-0.
Several bills were debated and passed on the Senate floor last week. Topics ranged from the Second Amendment to removing required mandates for renewable energy.
• House Bill 2578 has to do with requiring applications for transferring certain restricted firearms to be processed in a timely manner. The bill passed the Senate 40-0.
• The renewable energy bill (Senate Sub for HB 2014) would eliminate a state mandate that now requires Kansans to receive 20 percent of their energy from renewable resource (wind and solar) by 2020. This was a state mandate requiring us to produce electricity from renewable industries that are heavily subsidized by our tax dollars. When the federal subsidies eventually disappear, Kansas utility ratepayers will be required to pay much higher electric bills to support this 20 percent renewable energy mandate. The Senate passed the bill 25-14. I voted to remove this 20 percent mandate.
• I support renewable energy, just not mandates requiring usage. Senate Sub for HB 2101 would amend the Net Metering and Easy Connection Act regarding parallel generation. Net metering allows customers who generate their own electricity from solar or wind power to feed electricity they do not use back into the grid on a month-by-month basis. For customer-generators that have installed net metering systems before July 1, 2014, the bill would allow them to continue operating their systems according to current standards with a few exceptions. The bill passed 39-0.
• The Senate passed HB 2577 unanimously to expand the locations a person can leave an infant. If a person cannot care for an infant and is giving up parental rights or guardianship, the bill increases locations to include any law enforcement center. The bill, when signed into law, will protect the name and other identifiable information of the person who voluntarily left the infant at a qualified location.
• The Prompt Payment for Managed Care, HB 2552, requires Medicaid contractors to pay a claim or deny a claim within 30 days of receipt. One of the most common complaints is slow payments. It has put a burden on service providers. HB 2552 is an attempt to resolve this problem by requiring payment within a reasonable amount of time. The bill was amended in a Senate debate to require approval from the Legislature for Medicaid expansion provided by the Affordable Care Act. The bill passed with a vote of 33-7. I voted for the bill.
• The Senate passed Substitute for HB 2430 on a vote of 35-4. I was a No vote. Currently, the Secretary of Commerce can lower taxes on selected large companies of his choosing to attract them to Kansas. The bill increases the maximum amount that can be issued. Proponents believe it is a tool for economic development. I believe it is government picking winners and losers. With low taxes across the board everyone is treated fairly and businesses can still be attracted. When only lowering taxes to chosen companies, it gives them an unfair advantage over their competitors who pay higher taxes. Not fair. The bill was amended on the Senate floor to require the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of Revenue to sign-off on each qualifying company.
• A number of ideas are being discussed for K-12 funding. Leadership has set a goal of passing legislation by Friday. Since there are so many factors in K-12 funding, the proposed changes are complex and impact each school district differently.
• Last week, I wrote about HB 2557 which was amended in the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee to cover a hole in the current tax code. The amendment would reinstate past legislation that allows for Federal Schedule C, E, and F losses to be deducted from your Kansas income taxes. The bill has not been brought to the Senate floor for debate. Hopefully, there will be enough interest in the bill this week.
Caryn Tyson, R-Parker, represents Franklin County and the 12th District in the Kansas Senate.

In 1984, Tony Hawk was doing a Frontside 5-0 to Lipslide Revert. Here we have skate punks Frontside Five and McRad reverting back to 1984, with the former inhabiting the thrash of D.R.I. and the latter remembering the Orwellian age through archival live tracks from the era. 50/50 Split (set for release this Friday, October 12, at 3 Kings Tavern) is a bit of a misnomer, as Frontside contributes eight tracks to McRad's eleven, but the styles, speeds and volumes contained within are the real disparities. Frontside Five is tighter than ever, filling the bowl with speedy riffage reared on Suicidal Tendencies. Drummer Robdogg blurs his sticks with gear-jamming precision. Spewing vicious tales of freestyling and flatuence, Brandon Stolz calls out skate tricks like a square-dance barker. McRad, meanwhile, offers up trippy dub that rises in smoky swirls. Odd production and jazzy street poetry supplant the need for hallucinogens. The first gig at CBGB provides the heavily echoed "Anthem," which follows a Specials ska formula, while the act's final performance, "Mondo's Revenge," breaks down in audience chaos.

About Nik Olajuwon Shumway
I love art! Matter of fact I always have.I began doodling in elementary school to pass time as I'm sure a lot of you have.Doodling evolved into other class mates becoming curious about their art skills which turned into a daily show and tell.My grandfather bought a acrylic art set for my birthday and so I began playing around with colors shapes the basics.I stopped drawing and painting for years until one day I decided to draw a models face of a magazine.I was shocked at what talent I have which led me to take art and design in Glen Mills schools located in Concordville PA.I then moved onto Luzerne County Community College to further my passion.Due to financial reasons I needed to drop out to basically make money to live off of but I never stopped designing.I love abstract contemporary pieces but am most adored when it comes to social or political issues to possibly make a difference in this world.If you like anything you see feel free to ask me about it.Thanks for reading ,have a art filled day!

Rate Dr. Lisa Moroney Metcalf
Dr. Lisa Moroney Metcalf's Ratings
Lisa is a very nice person and I am sure her intentions a genuine however after seeing Lisa several times I would not recommend her to other people for child physh. I feel Lisa misled me in her expertise. Later I found out that her degree and qualifications are a PHD in education, not physiology. I read these reviews prior to seeing Lisa and dismissed them as "someone not happy because her office handles several custody disputes", After the fact, i checked with the court and talked with the CA Behavioral Sciences dept. she is not a custody evaluator. I went to Lisa regarding challenges with my child. I'm sure Lisa works well with being an MFT, however she failed to diagnose our kids behavioral issues (had to go to an actual PHD in Psych, Lisa C Johnson) and I would NOT recommend Lisa for children. I very much appreciate "Ratemds" as theirs appear to be honest and wont allow businesses to rate themselves. I feel Lisa Metcalf is the one filling out her own reviews on other websites.

Dr. Metcalf is an exceptional clinician. She was able to use a few assessments to compliment the school's assessments of my son. She attended the IEP at his school. She has continued to see him monthly to monitor his progress, and has given us an at-home curriculum for dealing with his ADHD without medication. The best in town

Landec Corporation Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2013 Results
MENLO PARK, Calif., July 31, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Landec Corporation (Nasdaq:LNDC), today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013. Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 increased 30% to $107.1 million compared to revenues of $82.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. Net income increased to $4.5 million or $0.17 per diluted share compared to net income of $2.8 million or $0.11 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. Revenues for fiscal year 2013 increased 39% to $441.7 million compared to revenues of $317.6 million for fiscal year 2012. Net income for fiscal year 2013 was $22.6 million or $0.85 per diluted share compared to net income of $12.7 million or $0.49 per diluted share for fiscal year 2012.
Gary Steele, Landec's Chairman and CEO, commented, "We had a good fourth quarter and an outstanding fiscal year. Operating highlights for the fourth quarter and fiscal year included: (1) growing Lifecore's revenues 20% during both periods and growing pre-tax net income before intercompany charges by 135% and 23%, respectively, (2) increasing revenues in our non-GreenLine Apio food business by 20% and 15%, respectively, (3) increasing Apio's export revenues by 10% during fiscal year 2013, (4) launching a family of new superfood products with significant initial nationwide demand during the year, and (5) benefiting from our partner Windset's 64-acre expansion of hydroponic greenhouses in Santa Maria, California, that is scheduled to begin initial harvesting early this fall, several months ahead of plan. This expansion will double Windset's capacity in California to 128 acres, or six million square feet of greenhouse operations."
Continued Mr. Steele, "For fiscal year 2013, revenues grew 39% and net income grew 47%, before including the $3.9 million non-recurring earn-out adjustment recorded during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. Earnings per share for fiscal year 2013 were $0.70, excluding the $3.9 million earn-out adjustment. For the quarter, revenues grew 30% and net income grew 63% compared to the fourth quarter of last year. Notably, we achieved this strong growth in both the fourth quarter and fiscal year despite significant weather-related events during the year."

Adults Recovering From Childhood Sexual Abuse
When you become ready to face the aftermath of childhood sexual abuse, you have begun a demanding journey towards life. You have already experienced one of the most isolating and confusing experiences any human can endure.
Whether the abusing person was a parent, step or grandparent, sibling, relative, babysitter, neighbor, or clergy, you have withstood a betrayal that no doubt has many aftershocks in your present life. Whether the abuse happened only once or many times, whether you were touched, fondled or penetrated, whether you were subject to unwanted conversation about sex or unwanted looks, you have been affected by this experience.
Your willingness to begin to make sense of that period of your life attests to the strength that you have. If you survived that period of your life, you can survive anything now as an adult. Understanding and caring support is what you did not have as a child. You can find it now. Just keep searching until you do.
At the time you no doubt experienced enormous bewilderment. You knew that something more was going on that did not feel right. You sensed that adult needs were being placed on you, which you probably did not understand. Children need a caring adult to help them make sense of things when something feels wrong, particularly when there is physical or psychological pain involved. A parent can help a child face the pain of needed medical treatment. But instead of openly being able to talk about your experiences, you were probably told that this was to be a secret that would be just between you and the abusing parent or adult.
You at times may have felt that you had a special relationship with the adult that made others. You may have sensed that you were be given favors that others were not getting. There may have been times when you appreciated the attention or even some of the sensuous tough. Many times the abusive one may have been also a person who was nurturing in spite of the abuse. This probably left you with a sense of feeling split.
Perhaps you were treated differently when the sexual abuse was happening and when you were not the object of this particular kind of attention. As a result you felt like you were dealing with two different persons, only it was the same person. You may have known that your abusing parent could not dealt with what they were doing and have tried to blame it on you as if you were responsible for it. Remember you do not have to feel guilty or ashamed about anything that happened or that you felt .
If you tried to talk to your other parent or others about the abuse, you may have found their response very upsetting. You may have been told that something like this could not possibly be happening. Or you may have been accused of somehow being the cause of what was happening. So even though you wanted and needed protection, you may have felt that people continued to deny what you were going through.
On the other hand you may have been afraid of others reaction and so told no one. So you may have found yourself feeling that you were living with a secret that was more than you could bear. You may have felt that if anyone found out, you would be made to feel like the most awful person in the world. It may have been quite distracting for you. You may have even been threatened if you revealed the secret. You may have felt unable to pay attention at school and have had difficulty studying.
All of this may have left you feeling quite depressed. You may have withdrawn from friendships feeling like you were so different from anyone else. Usually such experiences may have made sleep difficult because you never knew when advances by the abusing person might awaken you.
One of the most important things for you to understand is that you do not have to be ashamed by what happened. You have experienced a profound betrayal that no child should have to go through. You needed the protection of parents who kept you from being exposed to adult sexual needs. You were deprived of the support of people to turn to in order to understand what had happened.
You are probably reading this as you attempt to come to grips with the fallout from your childhood. You may know that you have had trouble getting close to a partner feeling that you could not trust them. You may find that the people that you are getting close to are turning out to be abusive in similar ways.
As you attempt to enjoy intimacy and love with a partner, you experience problems that you had not anticipated. You may start feeling close and then feel great anxiety that makes you want to run. You may find yourself re-experiencing some of memories of what you went through during the abuse. Right in the middle of beginning to enjoy sexual closeness you may find yourself having flashbacks. You may discover that suddenly you simply cannot continue any sexual activity.
It will be helpful to you understand how these problems develop. As you begin to feel close to a partner, you may feel something is wrong. You have begun to experience a partner and yourself like the abusive relationship of your childhood. So if you grew up close to a parent who then would suddenly demand things from you that you felt guilty about, you will often slip into that experience of your partner. If you had an abusive relationship in childhood, even though you have chosen your partner carefully, you may find yourself projecting onto your partner a feeling of being used. You may doubt that your partner really cares about your needs. You may fear that your partner will suddenly lose a sense of you as a person and just be taken over by sexual feelings that have nothing to do with you.
You must know that such reactions are normal to such childhood trauma. You are having normal reactions that almost anyone who has gone through similar experiences would have. You deserve much support and understanding. Hopefully you have someone who has gotten close to you because they cared and you realized this. If so, you may want that person to understand the full meaning of all that has happened to you. You will no doubt want them to be free to hold you and reassure you when memories or strong flashbacks happen.
If you have gotten close to a person who is abusive as well, you may find yourself knowing you should get out of the relationship. Yet, you may have trouble setting boundaries or limits. You may feel dependent upon this person because of children or because you feel psychologically vulnerable. You may have lost so much self-esteem in the present relationship that you are literally too depressed to leave.
Many times even a caring partner will have trouble understanding what is going on. He or she may feel that somehow you are making too much of it. You can help by letting them know that you are making so much of it because you went through this as a childhood and it's still imprinted in your body. Your partner needs to understand that they are doing nothing wrong but recover from the flashback. Just as soldiers experience a flooding of memories from the battlefields, you are being inundated by moments from your childhood experiences. Teaching them to what works for you at such times can help them feel connected and moved, as long as they know what to do to care about you.
If you continue to experience relationship difficulties, (and most adults who have had abusive experiences do), you may want to spend some time with a psychotherapist or a relationship counselor to help you or both of you work through the impact of these childhood experiences. As you begin such work you may feel like simply a survivor of abuse, but your work can lead to a true appreciation of your own strengths. You can come to admire the incredible self you are as someone who has developed compassion for all that your inner child experienced. The bond that you build with your partner can only increase as you work through these challenges together. You can come to know a level of deep intimacy that comes from acknowledging your vulnerability and the freedom to reach out for help.
You may wonder if you should forgive the abusive person. You may not be able to. You will certainly want to work first on the impact of the childhood experiences on your present life in relationships. It my help you to know that forgiveness may comes as you master the impact of these your childhood experiences. This will help you to regain your self-esteem and to develop intimacy with a partner. This may be a long and arduous journey.
Remember no one has the right to demand your forgiveness. You may continue to feel deep hurt at the betrayal and its impact on your present life. However, if you do reach a point where you feel the freedom to forgive, this will indicate that you have moved beyond experience yourself as victimized by your experiences. Now you can see yourself no longer as someone who has been victimized but as someone who had found new life beyond the effects of your childhood trauma.
If you are just beginning that journey, do reach out for support. Do not rest until you find someone who appreciates your pain. You will discover that you are not alone in having gone though such abuse. Finding a support group or a therapist that understands the healing process will provide immeasurable comfort. Below are listed some websites that could be useful to you.
What Happens In The First Session
Some things you will explore in your first therapy session:
– To begin by sharing what brings you to therapy
– To describe how you want to change
– To name what you have tried in the past
– To evaluate what helped or did not
– To recount any recurring dreams or recent ones
– To name who you would want to be if you had to be someone other than yourself
– Describe your family history and the person you are most like
– Name from that history what events seem to impact you presently
After covering some of the above questions:
– You and your therapist will identify specific focal points for change.
– You and your therapist will plan how therapy might help your specific situation.
– You will decide on the structure of the therapy-usually one or two sessions per week.
– You will agree on the fee.
– You will set up the next appointment.
– Sessions may run from 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on your schedule, resources and the intensity that works for you.

Why not, just for the laugh of my failure :P
Cya there...
Afternoon all,
Its that time of year again when all eyes turn to 6 Nations rugby
The good news is that the first game is this Friday, the bad news is that it Wales v England.
Wales are looking a little light player wise so it could be nasty :S
Anyhow, I normally do a fantasy 6 nations team on ESPN Scrum to see how good a manager I am (or not as usually happens).
I've created an Edugeek 6 Nations League if anyone feels like some rugby based fun.
The League PIN is 7245, so sign up and enter a team if you fancy having a go.
Why not, just for the laugh of my failure :P
Cya there...
Im in
I've just added my team - will see how it goes!
Welcome aboard!
We currently have six teams in the league.
Please note: Only teams registered by 19:45 GMT on Friday, 4th February will score points for the first match of the competition - Wales v England.
I'm in "Gaspode's wanderers"
I shall join once I get home tonight but my track record of fantasy leagues to date is poor. Possibly lacking the diligence that opening the wallet demands.
I am surprised at people having bergamasco in their team when he got injured in training yesterday! lol
"Well See what hppens!"
Well it'd be rude not to throw my scrum hat into the ring...
Good luck to you all and may the best nation win.... i.e. Wales (ok so hopless optimist I admit)!
Morning all,
A quick update - 11 teams now in the league!
A gentile reminder: Only teams registered by 19:45 GMT on Friday, 4th February will score points for the first match of the competition!!
have a good day y'all
Bergamasco might make the team for saturday...no guarantee's but he is back in training today. Turns out it was an injured hand from someone accidentally trampling it during a ruck practice drill
Cool ta for the heads up.
out of interest, anyone from here in Cardiff tonight?
I'll be there with Mrs Gonk, so I'll tell you what you missed on Monday

In May, Discover launched a new research program, the "Spending Confidence Monitor," with Rasmussen Reports, a well-known, independent survey research firm. Together, they're planning to survey lots of us every month – they interviewed 500 consumers daily (15,000 total) in August alone – to find out what we think we'll spend in the future, what shape our finances are in now, and what our opinions are on the economy.
Granted, our expectations certainly can change unexpectedly for various reasons. However, as time goes on, I think Discover's monthly surveys will become very insightful for what they tell us about people's current situation – and what the trends may be. Right now, here's how I read Discover's key findings from the May, June and July surveys:
1. No money. The number of families that had no money left over after paying their monthly bills rose from 38% in May … to 50% in July. (There's only a 1% margin of error.) About 45% of younger adults (18-29) in July reported having money left over after paying their monthly bills.
2. No cushion. Two-thirds in June said they could support their current lifestyle for a month if they were faced with an unexpected loss of income. But 29% in July said they wouldn't be able to do even that, which is up from a quarter in May.
3. No hope. With credit tight, the housing market soft, gas prices high, and a war going on, it's no surprise that about 63% in July told Discover that they rated the economy as fair or poor.
If "no money, no cushion, and no hope" is how you'd describe your current situation, as Discover shows, you're not alone! About half of us – or more – seem to be in the same boat. So don't beat yourself up about it. Instead, tell us what's up and we'll try to steer you to people who can help.
Please note that the August survey was just released (click for details) a few days ago and I haven't had time to completely digest the numbers yet. However, after a cursory glance, I did find it very interesting that the August survey reveals that consumer confidence in the U.S. economy rose and fell week-to-week. This rise and fall seems to reflect fluctuating concerns about the economy, housing market and sub-prime mortgage challenges.
More importantly, though, despite such fluctuations, consumers were relatively upbeat about their personal finances in August, rating them much higher than they rated the economy. With that, I will end this article on a positive note!

The sustainable harvest level is the volume of timber to be scheduled for sale during a planning decade(Revised Code of Washington [RCW] 79.10.300) from all state trust lands located west of the Cascade Crest in Washington. Using advanced forest modeling techniques, DNR determines a level of timber harvest for present and future trust beneficiaries that balances revenue production with ecological values such as healthy forest ecosystems and habitat for threatened and endangered species. Setting this level is an important component of DNR's sustainable and responsible stewardship of trust assets.
The sustainable harvest level is a policy-level decision that requires approval by the Board of Natural Resources. Follow the links on this page for more information on the DNR's sustainable harvest calculation process.
Information being presented about the Western Washington Sustainable Harvest Level at Board of Natural Resources meetings can be found below:

A parent at the Mankato West game had reported that an unfamiliar person was videotaping a particular athlete using "suspicious filming and zooming techniques." School staff were allowed by the man to view the videotape and additional prep games, including a Lake Crystal girls game, and other legal, but disturbing images were witnessed. No criminal charges are being filed, but the man was given a formal trespass notice from the school district. Other area school districts have been notified as well.

|Overall Rating:
The Installation took about 4.5 hours. The instructions tell you not to put the compressor under the hood or were it can get wet but shows it mounting on the frame. So where do you put it? The wiring harness section closest to the guage is too short to connect to the power(under the hood). Had to slice in longer wires. However once it was all complete I am very happy with it.

Wealth Building 101 Tutorial Guide
The Secret To Building Wealth Is There Are No Secrets. The Formula Is Common Knowledge, Timeless, And Free. Everything Else Is Just A Marketing Gimmick.
You've probably noticed that most wealth building education is little more than a collection of tools and "how-to" tricks on personal finance or investment strategy.
Every guru markets his own technique as the "secret" answer to the "how-to-become-wealthy" question.
Let's be honest. If you bought all their courses and attended all their seminars you would more likely end up confused than wealthy.
Much of the information is contradictory, incomplete, or not usable because it is dangerous half-truths.
It's not that what they teach you is wrong: it's just not what really matters. It is not the education most people need to become wealthy.
You are no more likely to succeed at building wealth because someone sold you the latest tricks and tools than you would be able to succeed at building a house because someone sold you a hammer.
The tool is just a mechanism. It is necessary for building, but it's not the causative factor. Without the skills and motivation to use the tool wisely along with plans to give the work done by the tool form, the tool is essentially useless. Much more is required.

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
What happens when a wayward cop goes unpunished for a blatant crime? Ask Sgt. Juan E. Mendez. Last month, a citizen oversight group considered the 92nd complaint filed against the Miami Police officer in his 25-year career.
Those complaints include 22 for excessive use of force, 22 for discourtesy, 20 for abusive treatment, and seven for missing property, according to city records. He's received seven official reprimands including punishments for crashing his cruiser and accidentally firing his gun. He's also killed four suspects on the job and cost Miami taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in settlements. "Unusual and disturbing," says Janet McAliley, a member of the Civilian Investigative Panel (CIP), which hears complaints against cops.
Worst of all, Mendez's career could have ended more than two decades ago, when he was involved in a controversial brutality case. Back in May 1987, he was on patrol in Overtown when he spotted Alfred Lee in a parked car. It appeared he was rolling a joint. When Mendez approached, Lee protested that he was a cop. Mendez didn't believe him.
Lee hit the gas, eventually leading Miami, Hialeah, and Florida Highway Patrol officers on a wild chase. Eventually he crashed, jumped a wall near NW 27th Avenue and 62nd Street, and then was arrested. That's when things got ugly.
Mendez and other Miami officers beat Lee to a pulp, punching him in the face more than 20 times, kicking his body, and slapping him after he'd been handcuffed, according to five other cops on the scene.
Lee, who was black, was an off-duty 30-year-old Miami-Dade Police officer. Mendez and the other Miami cops who beat him were Hispanic and white. The racially charged case was hushed up and Mendez was cleared of wrongdoing even though an internal affairs panel recommended a lengthy suspension.
Twenty years later, his case file is littered with questionable incidents. He killed three suspects in cases that were all ruled justified. Then, on September 30, 1999, he pumped seven bullets at a 19-year-old carjacking suspect named Antonio Butler in Overtown, killing him instantly. Though hundreds of protesters called it "cold-blooded murder hiding behind a badge," police again cleared Mendez. That was a crummy decision. In 2006, the City of Miami paid Butler's family a $900,000 settlement.
This past June 16, the CIP heard the latest — a claim he damaged a cell phone during a February arrest outside a downtown nightclub. It was ruled inconclusive. Mendez is still on the job.

Enterprises will increasingly face skilled IT criminals trying to
infiltrate corporate networks for sensitive data stored in databases,
but adopting new policies to evaluate risk should help drive the cost of
defense down, computer security analysts said Monday.
The attacks could come in a variety of forms -- extortion attempts after
data is encrypted and held hostage and the theft of intellectual
property -- but all could have "potentially disastrous" effects for
unprepared businesses, said Vic Wheatman, managing vice president at
research analyst firm Gartner Inc.
"Most businesses aren't attacked but some are," Wheatman said at
Gartner's IT Security Summit. "We believe that cybercrime represents the
next wave."
Businesses will need new IT strategies to defend themselves.
Enterprises now should spend 4 percent to 6 percent of their IT budgets
on information security. This figure is equivalent to what organizations
allot for casualty insurance, he said. From its latest data, Gartner
expects information security budgets to increase 4.5 percent over the
next year.
But many corporations are creating security policies based on government
regulations rather than threats. The result is policies that meet the
auditors' requirements but aren't necessarily best for the overall
security, said Jay Heiser, Gartner research vice president. "We refer to
that as 'regulatory distraction,'" Heiser said.
Rather than trying to anticipate a new regulation, it's better for
companies to treat regulation as one more factor in an overall risk
portfolio, Heiser said. It could take at least five years for an
enterprise to form this approach, he said.
Corporations can also rethink how they acquire new security software.
Rather than buying the "best of breed" security product, companies can
buy the "best of need," one that may not be the top of the market but
meets the company's requirements, Wheatman said.
Security products are also increasingly meshing what were separate
functions. Wheatman said companies have shown success in negotiations
with security vendors in getting, for example, antispyware included with
antispam and antivirus software instead of paying extra.
"We do think that over time, organizations can decrease their security
budgets as a percentage of the IT budget," Wheatman said.
Gartner released figures last week showing strong growth in the computer
security software sales. Revenue totaled $7.4 billion in 2005, a 14.8
percent increase over 2004. Antivirus software represented 54.3 percent
of the revenue, at $4 billion.

LOS ANGELES The U.S. operations of Russias VSMPO-Avisma Corp. have been certified for titanium produced and sold in the medical market.
NF&M International Inc., a subsidiary of VSMPO-Tirus U.S. Inc., has been awarded International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification for medical devices that also includes its service centers in Leetsdale, Pa., and Ontario, Calif. Certification includes not only NF&Ms manufacturing process but also support activities, such as quality control.
Michael Metz, president of VSMPO-Tirus, Highlands Ranch, Colo., told AMM that while the certification isnt required to sell titanium for medical uses, "it demonstrates our commitment to that market." He said VSMPO is one of "the few suppliers that has spent the effort to gain this qualification."
Although the aerospace and industrial markets are considered the largest components of global titanium demand, industry sources describe medical as traditionally one of the most consistent segments on a year-to-year basis.
NF&Ms medical certification complements the same certification that the parent companys facility in Verkhnaya Salda, Russia, has already received, Metz said.
Monaca, Pa.-based NF&Ms main product for the medical market is precision-tolerance bar that customers machine into end products such as titanium screws and nails. The Russian facility makes standard-tolerance forging bar, generally 1-inch and larger, used to manufacture such products as knee and hip implants.
"The medical customer wants to buy a full package" of titanium products, said Metz, referring to the output of both the U.S. and Russian operations. VSMPO also distributes medical products globally.
The medical market for titanium is predominantly titanium 6-aluminum/4-vanadium and titanium 6/4 Eli (extra-low interstitial), along with some commercially pure titanium and titanium 6-aluminum/7-columbium, Metz said.

Gloucester Marine Terminal in New Jersey is one of the nation's largest dockside refrigerated warehouse facilities. Now it is also the largest rooftop solar power plant in North America.
Earlier this month, U.S. Rep. Robert Andrews, D-N.J., presented Gloucester Marine Terminal officials with an award letter announcing an $11 million federal tax credit rebate for the recently completed rooftop solar power plant.
Known as Riverside Renewable Energy, the $42 million project consists of 27,526 photovoltaic rooftop solar panels covering 1.1 million square feet of rooftop at the Gloucester Marine Terminal, which is owned by the Holt family. It has the capacity to produce 9 megawatts of electricity annually, enough to power more than 1,500 homes.
The Riverside project sits atop the roof of the terminal's refrigerated warehouse near the Walt Whitman Bridge on the Delaware River. The terminal is the largest on-dock refrigerated warehouse on the East Coast.
CEO Leo Holt said the investment would provide about 80 percent of the energy needed to keep the facility cold for refrigerated cargoes.

What makes a nurse?
- 0I have read with interest the thread about going back to white caps and uniforms.
I would like you for a minute, to put yourself in "patient" mode and write your thoughts on what makes a nurse. If you feel like it, you could even ask some of your patients. I think that it would be interesting to see nursing from a patient's point of view as they see nursing now.
- 0Aug 22, '03 by det01I think sometimes people get confused who is and isn't a nurse. I do not like the going back to white caps and white dresses thing - b/c I think we should be able to be comfortable.
I know when I am around the hospital it is hard to tell nurses from aides or from other allied health professions.
- 0I agree, when I am working as a CNA, I am constantly being called and nurse....which I promptly correct. But, I don't think institutions or nurses are looking at that. A nurse has a huge body of knowledge that he/she uses every day with each and every patient. But at what point, do nurses as a whole, get recognized (visually and professionally) by the patient?
When I was a patient, I could not tell the difference between CNAs, nurses, lab techs, etc. It was pretty confusing!
- 0I myself have vowed to wear all white when I graduate nursing school. This is just my opinion and my choice only. I will not slam others for wearing what they want. I am currently a phleb and have many brightly colored tops. However, our pants must be Carribean Blue. I just think that paitients recognize nurses in all white much better. I have at least one pt. a day call me "nurse", and when corrected their reply is "Who can tell the difference, nurses used to wear all white." I will not wear the cap, but I think that all white will make me stand out to my patients, and after all of my hard work, I want to stand out. I don't think that all white has to look "old fashioned" with the uniform choices of today. As far as getting the uniforms dirty, thats what Spray and Wash is for. It's just my opinion and my choice. Anyone else's choice is also fine with me. I also adore cute little bunny tops and have had patients comment on how nice they looked also. It's still IMHO, that white says nurse.
- 0Aug 22, '03 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideWith all due respect, I must disagree with the previous posters on what makes a nurse. I don't care if the nurse in question is wearing pajamas----when I'm the patient, I want someone taking care of me who knows the science of nursing AND the art of caring. I want a nurse who knows I'm in pain even before I ask for meds, who anticipates what might go wrong and plans ahead for my care in case it does, who will advocate for me yet be firm if I'm non-compliant with the treatment plan. Most of all, I want a nurse who respects me as a human being and treats me as a partner in my own care, rather than preaching at me or making value judgments about me. What does it matter what he or she wears??
- 0It does not matter, I am simply going on first impression of a patient. The patient already assumes you know what you are doing or else you would not be there. My point is that they trust anyone in a uniform. Who's to say that some crazy hospital employee might try to give medical advice to a patient when a patient asks. I have seen housekeepers giving patients drinks that were on fluid restriction, but just because they are wearing scrubs the patients asked them if they would pour them a glass of water. Granted he or she meant no harm and was trying to help, but sill. For me it is a give in that I will be caring and compasionate, otherwise why would I be pursuing this career? Just discussing dress hear not competency.
- 0Aug 22, '03 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideOops......the title of the thread is "What Makes a Nurse?". Silly me, I thought it was about what actually makes a nurse, rather than a fashion forum. My mistake. I apologize for my statement and agree that it "does not matter".
- 0Aug 22, '03 by jenacI don't think the clothes make the nurse-it's an attitude. I choice to wear professional clothing (usually a white/colored top over white pants)-to be easily identified as a nurse by anyone who might need one-be it a resident or family member. Besides- with a stethoscope around my neck half the day, it's hard to be mistaken for a housekeeper!Last edit by jenac on Aug 22, '03
- 0Not a problem. I was Just referring back to the thread starters opening line, and the main complaint that I hear every day from "patients opinion" about they can't tell who is who. I do think that they have a legitimate complaint. I myself just had surgery in May and asked a nursing assistant to take a look at my I.V. because I thought that it was infiltrating. The clothes does not make the nurse, but in the patients eyes any yahoo in the hospital could be the nurse.
- 0Dress may have something to do with "What makes a nurse" from a patients point of view. And that might be a beginning point for the patient to recognize a nurse. I think initial recognition is very important. Like Jen2 said, housekeeping (who were dressed the same as other staff I'm assuming) was giving drinks to a patient on fluid restriction. OK, I'm not saying go back to the whites but perhaps someone could come up with an amiable solution for nurses to be recognized by the patient on initial sight.
And yes, mj, you also have a valid point of caring and knowledge. But from a patient's point of view, they "see" the caring. Knowledge is something that is cognitive and cannot be recognized initially by the patient.
That being said....almost everyone in any aspect of healthcare has a caring attitude...this includes housekeeping, lab, CNAs etc. So where does visual recognition for the patient/nurse relationship come in? I think that this would be a very important step for nurses in their recognition for autonomy and professional recognition.
