Rolls-Royce and Areva strengthen nuclear co-operation
Friday, 17 February 2012
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, and AREVA have further strengthened their strategic collaboration on nuclear build projects with an agreement signed in Paris today.
The two companies have agreed how Rolls-Royce will support the delivery of AREVA's EPRTM reactor in the UK and internationally. This builds on the significant progress made since the two companies signed an initial agreement in March 2011.
Rolls-Royce will manufacture complex components and provide engineering and technical services for the first of two EPRsTM to be built at Hinkley Point, Somerset where AREVA is providing the Nuclear Steam system.
Once contracted, the work could be worth a total of £400 million in revenue to Rolls-Royce for the four EPRsTM currently planned by EDF Energy in the UK, with much of this work providing direct benefit to the UK supply chain, potentially supporting several hundred highly skilled jobs.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said: "I am delighted that Rolls-Royce and AREVA have today announced their intention to work together on global civil nuclear projects. This industrial collaboration will deliver significant growth and create more than 1,000 high quality manufacturing jobs in the UK over the next few years."
Lawrie Haynes, President-Nuclear, Rolls-Royce, said: "This is an important agreement and I look forward to continuing the strong partnership we have built with AREVA. Rolls-Royce has broad nuclear experience, a strong track record and an extensive nuclear certified supply chain. Together with AREVA, we will work to successfully deliver new civil nuclear projects in the UK and around the world."
Luc Oursel, CEO AREVA, said: "Since our original commitment in March, we have widened and deepened the scope of our cooperation. Today's agreement indicates how far we have travelled. We look forward to working with Rolls-Royce across a range of opportunities."
Rolls-Royce has significant nuclear skills, with a large existing nuclear certified supply chain. It supports a number of key phases of the nuclear programme, including providing advice to governments and operators, supply chain management, and manufacturing and technical engineering support. The Group also provides safety-critical instrumentation and control systems to all 58 operating nuclear power facilities in France and to more than 50 others across Europe, the USA and other international markets.
- Rolls-Royce is a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, and has established a strong position in global markets - civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy.
- As a result of this strategy, Rolls-Royce has a broad customer base comprising more than 500 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 4,000 marine customers, including 70 navies, and energy customers in more than 80 countries.
- Annual underlying revenues were £11.3 billion in 2011, of which more than half came from the provision of services. The firm and announced order book stood at £62.2 billion at 31 December 2011, providing visibility of future levels of activity.
- Rolls-Royce employs over 40,000 people in offices, manufacturing and service facilities in over 50 countries. Over 11,000 of these employees are engineers.
- In 2011, Rolls-Royce invested £908 million on research and development, two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the environmental performance of its products, in particular reducing emissions.
- Rolls-Royce supports a global network of 28 University Technology Centres, which connect the company's engineers with the forefront of scientific research.
- The Group has a strong commitment to apprentice and graduate recruitment and to further developing employee skills.
- Rolls-Royce has a large and highly experienced nuclear skills base with approximately 3,000 employees in the UK, France, the Czech Republic, North America and China.
- Rolls-Royce provides nuclear power utility vendors and operators with integrated, long-term solutions and support services spanning the whole reactor lifecycle, from concept design through to obsolescence management and plant life extension. With nuclear expertise including component manufacturing, licensing, project and supply chain management as well as world-class engineering, the company has been a key player in the industry for over 50 years.
- As the lead industrial partner, Rolls-Royce is supporting the development of the UK's Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Centre that will bring together an industrial consortium of around 30 companies from the UK nuclear supply chain. University partners will lead key research themes.

Yearly Archives: 2010
My favorite post in 2010
Gospel doctrine creates a gospel culture. The doctrines of grace create a culture of grace, healing, revival, because Jesus himself touches us through his truths. Without the doctrines, the culture alone is fragile. Without the culture, the doctrines alone appear pointless.
The doctrine of regeneration creates a culture of humility (Ephesians 2:1-9).
The doctrine of justification creates a culture of inclusion (Galatians 2:11-16).
The doctrine of reconciliation creates a culture of peace (Ephesians 2:14-16).
The doctrine of sanctification creates a culture of life (Romans 6:20-23).
The doctrine of glorification creates a culture of hope (Romans 5:2).
If we want this culture to thrive, we can't take doctrinal short cuts. If we want this doctrine to be credible, we can't disregard the culture. But churches where the doctrine and culture converge bear living witness to the power of Jesus.
The highway to strength
"And do we not often feel weak in the sense of utter unfitness for being ministers at all by reason of our own sinfulness? Paul said of his calling to the ministry, 'Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!' We can say that too; yet sometimes we feel as if we would speak no more for Christ, and we should sink into silence were it not that His Word is as a fire in our bones, and we cannot refrain. Then we think we will go away into the far west, and in some log cabin teach a few children the way of salvation, for we do not feel fit for anything higher. Our shortcomings and our failures stare us out of countenance, and then are we painfully weak. But this also is the highway to strength: 'When I am weak, then am I strong.'"
C. H. Spurgeon, An All Round Ministry (Edinburgh, 1978), page 216.
Where there is no encounter
"Reflecting on the American church scene, [Bonhoeffer] was fascinated that tolerance trumped truth. His analysis was remarkably similar to the report he wrote in the summer of 1931, trying to make sense of his year at Union:
'I now often wonder whether it is true that America is the country without a reformation. If reformation means the God-given knowledge of the failure of all ways of building up a kingdom of God on earth, then it is probably true. . . . The voice of Lutheranism is there in America, but it is one among others; it has never been able to confront the other denominations. There hardly ever seem to be 'encounters' in this great country, in which one can always avoid the other. But where there is no encounter, where liberty is the only unifying factor, one naturally knows nothing of the community which is created through encounter.'"
Eric Metaxas, Bonhoeffer (Nashville, 2010), pages 338-339.
On the one hand, community is destroyed by negative scrutiny of others, relishing reasons to criticize, looking down from a superior position. On the other hand, community is diminished by cowardly avoidance of encounter. And, as Bonhoeffer interestingly suggests, we Americans have enough space geographically and enough options ecclesiastically that we can avoid encounter if we choose to. But God says, "You shall reason frankly with your neighbor" (Leviticus 19:17).
It is wrong to brutalize a brother. It is also wrong to avoid a brother. The way of Christ is to move toward one another, especially …
You're not crazy
Serving Christ gets hard. Harder than we expected. Harder than we can endure. We are tempted to think, "No way can this turn out well. My life – the only one I have – is going to end up on the junk pile. I must be crazy to be out here doing this, taking these risks, getting hammered with this criticism, paying this price."
But the truth is, your life is retelling the story of Jesus in his death and resurrection. "If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him" (2 Timothy 2:11-12). He died, and now he lives. He endured, and now he reigns. He wasn't crazy. And however this turns out short term for you, God will take care of you.
Remind yourself every day: You're not crazy.
No greater consolation
"Behold Christ lying in the lap of his young mother. What can be sweeter than the Babe, what more lovely than the mother! What fairer than her youth! What more gracious than her virginity! Look at the Child, knowing nothing. Yet all that is belongs to him, that your conscience should not fear but take comfort in him. . . . To me there is no greater consolation given to mankind than this, that Christ became man, a child, a babe, playing in the lap and at the breasts of his most gracious mother. Who is there whom this sight would not comfort? Now is overcome the power of sin, death, hell, conscience, and guilt, if you come to this gurgling Babe and believe that he is come, not to judge you, but to save."
Martin Luther, quoted in Roland H. Bainton, Here I Stand (New York, 1950), pages 354-355.
"There's only pain. God is here . . ."
"Bruchko," he said, "my body hurts. I hurt everywhere." "Shh," I said. "You need to be quiet. We want you to be well. We want you to be strong." He shook his head, barely moving it. "No, Bruchko. I'm not well and I'm not strong. I have closed my eyes." His eyes did close, and he slipped off. I stayed near him. Later he opened his eyes again.
"Bruchko, I heard a voice like the spirits that talk when they try to kill you." I nodded. "But this voice called me by my secret name, by my real name. No one alive knows my real name, but this spirit called me by my real name. So I called to it and said, 'Who are you?' and it said, 'I am Jesus, who has walked with you on the trail.' . . . So I told Jesus that I hurt all over, from my head to my toes. And Jesus said that he wants me to come home." His breath was coming with difficulty.
"Help me, brother!" he whispered, looking at me. "Help me!" Then he turned his eyes away. "But you can't," he said. "I've been embraced by death. I'm leaving, Bruchko. I'm leaving. I can't see. There's only pain. God is here, and he wants to take me on the path we couldn't ever find on our hunts, the path that goes beyond the horizon to his home." Then he smiled, and his face looked for a moment like the …
"If you believed in Jesus, . . ."
"'For myself,' she continued, '. . . I believe that what's right today is wrong tomorrow and that the time to enjoy yourself is now so long as you let others do the same. I'm as good, Mr. Motes,' she said, 'not believing in Jesus as many a one that does.' 'You're better,' he said, leaning forward suddenly. 'If you believed in Jesus, you wouldn't be so good.'"
Flannery O'Connor, Wise Blood (New York, 1949), page 225.
39 years ago today
39 years ago today God gave me the privilege of marrying the love of my life. I am a happy man. Thank you, dearest Jani, for your tender, rugged faithfulness all through these swiftly passing years. May we serve our Lord in the fullness of his power, for the renewal of his people, until our dying day.
Your risen and ascended Savior
"God has provided for your perfect deliverance from sin in Christ. Everything needed for this purpose was finished by him on the cross. He was your surety. He suffered for you. Your sins were crucified with him and nailed to his cross. They were put to death when he died, for he was your covenant-head, and you, as a member of his body, were legally represented by him and are indeed dead to sin by his dying to sin once.
The law has now no more right to condemn you, a believer, than it has to condemn him. Justice is bound to deal with you as it has with your risen and ascended Savior."
William Romaine, The Life, Walk and Triumph of Faith (Cambridge, 1970), page 280. Style updated.
What is true of Christ is more important to me than what is true of me.
Thoughtful, total commitment
I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3:15-16
"The idea of being on fire for Christ will strike some people as dangerous emotionalism. 'Surely,' they will say, 'we are not meant to go to extremes? You are not asking us to become hot-gospel fanatics?' Well, wait a minute. It depends what you mean. If by 'fanaticism' you really mean 'wholeheartedness,' then Christianity is a fanatical religion and every Christian should be a fanatic. But fanaticism is not wholeheartedness, nor is wholeheartedness fanaticism. Fanaticism is an unreasoning and unintelligent wholeheartedness. It is the running away of the heart with the head. At the end of a statement prepared for a conference on science, philosophy and religion at Princeton University in 1940 came these words: 'Commitment without reflection is fanaticism in action; but reflection without commitment is the paralysis of all action.' What Jesus Christ desires and deserves is the reflection which leads to commitment and the commitment which is born of reflection. This is the meaning of wholeheartedness, of being aflame for God.
One longs today to see robust and virile men and women bringing to Jesus Christ their thoughtful and their total commitment. Jesus Christ asks for this. …

Re:Mac Mini (304 comments)
I'll second that, and recommend getting the apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse, they are definitely low form factor and high quality.
Used to use a logitech mouse, but the new apple mouse has fewer parts to break and works well from the sofa.
I've added a harmony remote which pairs to the mac for all the infrared functions (pause, play, ff, rewind, etc), so if you get one of those you can also use it to turn the TV set on and off.

Re:A view from the unschooled (1345 comments)
Basically it boils down to finding someone who knows something you are interested in and asking them questions. Find a way to earn their trust if necessary and most people are more than glad to spend a little while letting you know how something works or point you in a direction they found helpful.
The first time I recall doing this I was probably about 8. I wanted to know more about how bridges worked, and had exhausted the resources at my father's disposal, so he arranged a conversation with a civil engineer he knew who actually designed them. Suffice to say I've never learned how to design a bridge, but I learned a lot more than I expected to, and that conversation lead to many more and probably ignited my interest in calculus.
A view from the unschooled (1345 comments)
Because you asked...
I am an example of an individual who grew up with under this exact educational philosophy and I beg to differ on the outcome most of the above commentators anticipate.
Unschooling is a set of principals and ideas about learning in general which emphasizes the individual's instinctual intellectual desire and capability over institutional time based curricula. It's in no way a new concept, with people like John Holt and Ivan Illich establishing most of the modern ideas in this educational arena several decades ago.
Though purely anecdotal, my own case is evidence that the method does indeed work, at least in my example, and I would argue it works quite well indeed.
I grew up without school until the 12th grade, and decided to enroll as a senior in an area High School mostly out of a desire to test my knowledge and socialization prior to venturing out to the greater world the following year. I was presented with a series of intensive placement tests and tested into the top levels of the senior class, where I completed the year and graduated at the statistical top of my small class without much trouble at all.
Since graduating a dozen years ago, I attained a roll as a senior software engineer at a major financial firm where I continue to design and implement technical solutions to complex problems which interest me. I'm also considered by some a bit of an expert in political strategy and consult a number of elected officials.
All this while declining to pursue higher education and instead learning from the experts in the fields which interest me.
I find that learning from those who do is much preferable to learning from those who decide to teach instead.
Additionally, the most crucial ability a critical thinker can have is the desire for and access to written knowledge and history.
The sad state of affairs which our educational system finds itself in is one which can obviously be improved. I would think that an open system with 100% subsidy which is open to the learner to take desired courses when they see fit would benefit society immensity.
Cost of such a system would indeed be high, but quite a bit less than dealing with the problems which a lack of self-motivated education hoist upon the systems of our limited resources. In a light improvements in our system to produce better learners could be viewed as the most cost-effective move we could make.
Fight back (674 comments)
Don't discuss the attack, that's just playing into the hand they gave you.
What I would point out is the monthly patch cycle you buy into with MS.
Any vendor worth using releases patches as vulnerabilities are discovered, keeping software safe. MS doesn't do this, and claims it as a feature.
The rest of the world releases patches as soon as someone with eyes sees a flaw. This is a clear advantage and negates all the FUD you are seeing.

Summary: This is the second updated edition of the premier book on animal law, a rapidly developing field that is increasing its presence in the public eye. Animal law is, in its simplest (and broadcast) sense, a combination of statutory and decisional law in which nature - legal, social, or biological - of non-human animals is an important factor. This book is a valuable resource for courses in animal law, as an adjunct to environmental or wildlife law courses, and as a refe ...show morerence book for attorneys whose practices may bring them in contact with the relevant issues. It brings together a cohesive format, which touches on most areas in which animals affect legal doctrines, case law, and legislative direction. Because this is not a traditional legal field, most of the book's chapters are framed in terms of familiar subsets of the law - such as tort, contract, criminal, and constitutional law. Each chapter sets out cases and commentary where animal law affects those broader areas. In the second edition, the text has been updated and several chapters reorganized and revised to provide even greater clarity of direction and organization for the reader. As in the first edition, animal law as presented in this book is not synonymous with "animal rights" or with any particular political, moral or ethical agenda. Rather, it is an objective and logical specialization of a challenging area - one with a growing number of cases and statutes, increasing public and practical interest, and significantly different historical, legal and philosophical foundations than most other areas of law. ...show less

Log in to share your thoughts Re: I don't feel like I'm making enough milk for my twins. How can I know? We don't have ounce markers on our breasts, but you know each exclusively breastfed baby is getting enough milk if, in every 24-hour period, each baby:• wakes (on her own) and cues to breastfeed at least eight (and up to 12 to14) times• wets at least six diapers• passes at least four loose, yellow, seedy stools (about the size of a quarter) until older than two months• gains an average of 2/3 ounce (20 g) for at least the first three monthsBreastfeeding and making enough milk is about meeting the needs of each baby as an individual rather than as part of a set (of twins). We mothers of multiples have a conflict. We know each baby is a unique individual yet we also want to treat our babies equally. If their needs differ, it may cause a problem for one or more of the babies and possibly for milk production.Although it can be confusing, you may have one twin who grows well and is content with eight daily breastfeedings while his sister needs to breastfeed 10 to 12 times in order to be happy and grow appropriately. Also, breastfeeding is about more than the milk. A baby may also give cues to breastfeed because he needs the security of mother's arms -- and some babies need more mommy time than others.

Just wondering if any one can shed some light on this disaster.
I made two chocolate Mississippi mud cakes from the cake mix from cw cakes. I've made a few practice cakes and they were all great. Out of the two today, one came out fine and the other one looked nice and tastes nice but it has just spilt in half. It has a few massive cracks in it and I don't know why. It's going to make it so hard to lift the top off to fill it with ganache.
Can any one tell me why this may have Happened? I thought it may have been cause I had to overlap the grease proof paper on the bottom as it wasn't big enough to cover it all in one go, as I lifted that off it had the slightest little line but nothing major . I want to throw it out but it's a 13 inch tin and its to much to waste.

The more the spotlight falls upon this Danish text, the more like a Danish pastry it looks.
Here's an assertion from Newsweek:
"Under the plan, by 2050 poor countries would have to limit per capita emissions at 1.44 tons, while rich countries would be given extra leeway at 2.67 tons per person."
Really? Well, that would be absolutely shocking – if it bore any relation to the document.
So, where do those figures appear in the draft text?
Can you find them?
No, because they're not there. The figures are supplied by NGOs, after the event. They don't appear in the text. And nowhere are they sourced.
So neither you nor I can make any comment on their validity. Other than this – if these figures have a reasonable pedigree, why isn't it quoted? If you had a case, why wouldn't you make it?
The fact that figures are given no provenance, and the case is not made, gives little credibility to the conclusion.
This unsourced speculation – allusions to figures that are not available to scrutiny – does no favours to the originators. Some friends are worse than enemies.

wow. great album <3
I dont believe any picture in this album is made with a pinhole camera. Some pictures have a much too small depth of focus an some have obviously too short exposure times (like this one).
@c5gebj2 as I do enjoy criticism, please don't come in here and start accusing me of not knowing how to take photos with a pinhole

Can hemlocks be protected from the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid?
DEFINITION: The hemlock wooly adelgid (HWA), Adelges tsugae (Annand), is an aphid-like insect that originated in Japan and that infests hemlock species. It was first introduced into this country on the west coast in British Columbia in the �20�s, and then was found in Virginia in the �50�s. These were presumably separate, accidental infestations.
OCCURRENCE: Since the introduction in Virginia, HWA has rapidly moved up the east coast to New England and is devastating both the eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) and the Carolina hemlock (T. caroliniana). Major infestations are found in states from North Carolina to southern New England. There are quarantines in effect in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont which regulate the movement of hemlock seedlings, nursery stock, and various lumber and bark products from infected areas.
DAMAGE: The HWA attaches to the stems at the base of the needles and both kills the needles and prevents new growth. The tree often dies within 4 years, although some trees will survive longer while exhibiting diminished growth. If untreated, death is almost inevitable.
LIFE CYCLE: There are two generations of HWA per year.
During March and April the adults lay eggs in a cottony mass, which hatch into larvae in April and May and which soon attach to the young hemlock twigs. They then settle down and feed until they mature into adults in mid-June.
This new adult generation has one odd feature � some of the adults are winged and can only reproduce on certain Japanese spruce. The winged form sets off looking for the spruce and dies off. Unfortunately, the rest of the adults are wingless and happily infest eastern American hemlocks. They lay eggs in mid-June, which hatch and attach to the hemlocks. These adults will over-winter and lay eggs the next spring.
IDENTIFICATION OF INFECTED HEMLOCKS: Look for dessicated needles, turning gray-green and dropping off, and white, cottony masses on the undersides of twigs.
BIOLOGICAL CONTROLS: There are no known effective native predators for the HWA, but there is a Japanese ladybug, Pseudoscymnus tsugae, which is very effective in Japan (helped by some natural resistance of Japanese hemlock species).
The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES) is actively engaged in releasing large quantities of this beetle in various infested areas and results are encouraging. Future success will depend on whether enough Japanese ladybugs can be released to keep up with the HWA.
FOREST MANAGEMENT: Without biological controls, the eastern hemlock forests are probably doomed. Spraying with pesticides is both prohibitively expensive and often not feasible because of terrain or proximity to streams.
GARDEN AND NURSERY MANAGEMENT � PHYSICAL MEANS: In a garden or nursery situation, It is often possible to control the HWA and save the hemlocks. The first step is to keep the HWA away � discourage birds, squirrels and deer from coming near, and don�t put feeders near the hemlocks. Also, keep any plant material from possibly infected areas away.
Eggs and crawlers can be knocked off by wind and rain, so a good hosing periodically in spring and early summer can reduce an infestation.
GARDEN AND NURSERY MANAGEMENT � SUSCEPTIBILITY: Stressed trees are much more susceptible to damage, so it�s crucial to keep the trees healthy and well fed and watered. Drought stress in particular weakens the tree, as does planting in an inappropriate location.
However, if the hemlock is severely infested already, don�t fertilize with a high nitrogen fertilizer. This will only enhance the HWA growth. Wait until the infestation is under control before fertilizing.
GARDEN AND NURSERY MANAGEMENT � CHEMICAL MEANS: The first choice is to spray with horticultural oils or insecticidal soaps. These work by essentially suffocating the HWA, so you need to thorough coat the tree or the insects will survive. This can be difficult if the tree is very tall or inaccessible to spray equipment. Two sprays a year will probably be necessary, and expect to continue for a number of years until either the neighborhood is completely disinfected or other controls are available.
The next choice is imidacloprid (Merit) which can be applied by stem injection or by soil drenching. The chemical is taken up by the tree systemically and will protect the tree for 5 months or more, but only if the tree has a healthy sap flow. If the tree is heavily infested, the sap won�t flow and the pesticide never gets to the HWA.
GARDEN AND NURSERY MANAGEMENT � ALTERNATE SPECIES: You can also plant alternate hemlock species which are relatively resistant to HWA. Some American hemlocks from the west coast as well as Japanese hemlocks could be used.

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Office
3:53 pm
Andrew Lansley (The Secretary of State for Health; South Cambridgeshire, Conservative)
The hon. Gentleman must know that the money available to the NHS in Wales is available to the NHS in Wales, and that it is separate from England. The Labour Welsh Assembly Government have made their own decisions about the priority that they attach to the national health service in Wales, and the result is, as the King's Fund says, that they plan to reduce its budget by 8.3% in real terms. We are going to increase the NHS budget in real terms. The result can be seen in waiting times, which we were talking about. In England, the proportion of patients admitted to hospital who are seen within 18 weeks, according to the latest data, is 89.6%. He might like to reflect on the fact that the figure for Wales is 64.5%.

Field Hockey Coaching Staff
Flames Home > Field Hockey Home > Coaching Staff > Coach DetailJodi Murphy
Head CoachCollege: Richmond '07
Start Date: 11/18/2010
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
On November 18, 2010, Liberty University Director of Athletics Jeff Barber announced the addition of field hockey, while also naming former Richmond assistant coach Jodi Murphy as the program's inaugural head coach.
During the program's third season of competition in 2013, Murphy guided Liberty to its first ever NorPac Championship title and subsequent berth in the NCAA Field Hockey Tournament. Liberty posted a 17-5 overall record and a perfect 8-0 mark in conference play. The Lady Flames' signature win came in the NorPac Championship final, defeating No. 10 ranked Stanford, 2-1.
In her first season as a head coach, Murphy led the Lady Flames to six victories, while competing as a Division I independent. On July 1, 2012, Liberty joined the NorPac Conference, becoming the league's ninth member.
In 2012, Murphy helped guide the Lady Flames to a 16-6 overall record, marking a 10-win improvement from their inaugural season. Liberty's .727 winning percentage ranked 10th in the nation. Under Murphy's leadership, the Lady Flames posted a 7-1 mark in NorPac play, capturing the East Division's regular-season title in just their first season in the conference.
Murphy was honored as the 2012 and 2013 NorPac Co-Coach of the Year, as Liberty became the first team from the NorPac's East Division to reach the conference title game in back-to-back seasons. During the Lady Flames' two seasons in the league, Murphy's squads have produced six all-conference members, two-time NorPac East Division Offensive Player of the Year Natalie Barr and a pair of NorPac Maria Whitehead Rookie of the Year honorees. Additionally, two players have earned NFHCA All-South Region plaudits under Murphy's guidance, while six Lady Flames have garnered VaSID All-State recognition.
In addition to the success on the field, Murphy's squads have also excelled in the classroom. Liberty earned the NFHCA's National Team Award in 2011, 2012 and 2013, while five Lady Flames have been tabbed Scholars of Distinction the past two seasons.
Murphy also played a part in overlooking the completion of the program's nylon woven turf field, which is water-based and features six water cannons.
Murphy brought a wealth and variety of both playing and coaching experience to Liberty's field hockey program and is familiar with Virginia, as much of her experience comes from her time at Richmond.
Murphy spent three seasons as an assistant coach at her alma mater, capping the three-year stint by helping Richmond to the 2009 Atlantic 10 regular-season title, Atlantic 10 conference title, a berth in the NCAA Tournament and a No. 19 final season ranking.
During her time with the Spiders, Murphy helped coach 18 Atlantic 10 all-conference players, seven VaSID all-state student-athletes, a third-team All-American and a pair of players who have earned Atlantic 10 Offensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year honors.
En route to the 2009 Atlantic 10 title, Murphy helped the Spiders' defense finish the season ranked No. 17 nationally with a 1.62 goals against average.
While on staff at Richmond, Murphy served as the Director of Staff Operations and was responsible for all aspects of recruiting, including player evaluation, correspondence and official on-campus visits.
Murphy also brings an array of additional coaching experience, including time spent at West Chester University, US Field Hockey (working with the Futures Developmental Program as both a Head Coach and Site Director) and leading hockey projects abroad with her non-profit organization, Pathfinder Hockey.
Murphy started her collegiate playing career at Indiana, playing for the Hoosiers for two years before transferring to Richmond. During her days at Indiana, Murphy started 37 out of 38 games over two seasons and earned NFHCA academic honors.
Murphy transferred to Richmond for the 2005 season and helped guide the Spiders to back-to-back Atlantic 10 titles and trips the NCAA Tournament.
As a junior, she started all 22 games and earned second-team Atlantic 10 honors, while she was a first-team honoree as a senior.
Murphy was a four-year starter and team captain at Jamestown High School in her hometown of Williamsburg, Va. She was a two-time first-team Virginia All-State selection and Virginia State High School League AA Player of the Year in 2002.
Murphy has participated in the USFHA A-Camp in 2003-04 and was a part of the National Field Hockey Futures National Championship from 1999-02. She graduated from Richmond in 2007 with a bachelor of arts in religion with an English minor.
Murphy currently resides in Lynchburg.

I have been trying to get my snow blower started. I have emptied the gas tank, put in sea foam to clean out the tank and put in new gas. The snow blower still does not start. I took off the cover to the carberator and put gas into the carberator. It starts for a few seconds but will not stay running. Any suggestions. Thanks |

Make your own tofu
In days gone by, any Westerner who ate tofu was instantly pigeonholed as one of those strange vegetarians - no doubt with an iron deficiency.
But soybean curd has a long and illustrious cultural history, it's now seen on restaurant menus and supermarket shelves everywhere and used in cooking by vegos and omnivores alike.
For centuries, artisans across Japan, China and Korea have started their day by making tofu and now you can too. Our guide is Japanese-trained cook and knife sharpener Leigh Hudson.
Recipe: How To Make Tofu (Japanese version)
The ritual for tofu making takes time but isn't complicated and starts by soaking the soy beans overnight.

Looks good but Im wondering does anyone know a recipe for making fermented tofu? (the Japanese also use it a lot in their sushi and I believe its also called tempeh)

Fascinating piece. I've been making tofu for years and have been trying to find out how to make black tofu (the most delicious food on the planet) and green tofu. I've tried making green tofu with frozen pre cooked fresh soy beans, which didn't work. Had both these tofus in Japan and loved them.

The common man would assume that more protection against potentially career-threatening injuries would be welcomed by NFL players.
The common man doesn't play football, though. He watches, usually with one hand buried deep inside of some cajun squirrel potato chips. He's a creature who often either isn't aware of the physical rigors of football, or bases his entire perception of the game through the prism of his experience as a freckled 15-year-old who couldn't run a proper post route.
When the league passed a new rule yesterday at the owners meetings that will make thigh and knee pads mandatory for the 2013 season, the response from players was generally swift, and generally angry. In the 24 hours since that decision there's been a pleasant plethora of angst regarding the new protection, but perhaps the most accurate quote came from new Broncos cornerback Drayton Florence.
"My opinion is that I don't want to wear them, but you have to follow the rules and policies," Florence said. "I just think that's a way for them to kind of cover themselves with things that have been going on in the past."
Emphasis mine, and Roger Goodell's.
Goodell will tell you that the motivation for the new rule mandating the extra padding is that simple logic we began with. It goes something like this: more protection leads to fewer injuries, and having fewer injuries is good, right?
And indirectly and quite surface-y, that's true. But the league hasn't mandated thigh and knee pads for well over a decade. So why now? Our friend Roger is pretty tired of getting sued, that's why.
If you assigned the list of players who are suing the NFL to their respective positions and put them on a team, they could probably beat the 2011 Rams. The list of concussion-related lawsuits against the NFL is now at 81, with Eric Dickerson and Johnnie Morton most recently joining the party. Never mind that brutal right hook to Morton's chin that ended his first and only MMA fight. Yep, there's no way that dislodged some brain matter…
Judo chops and muay tai kicks aside, Goodell is exercising every possible measure to minimize future litigation, and to alter the public perception that he doesn't care about players when their careers are over. That perception has grown in the weeks since Junior Seau's death.
Knees aren't the primary battering rams used to inflict concussions. The weapon of choice for most is the head, which is why the league has implemented wide-ranging rules changes barring players from launching and hitting defenseless receivers over the past few seasons despite the multiple hitmen James Harrison has sent to Goodell's address.
Still, the mere possibility of a knee to the head causing an injury is more than enough. Every opportunity for injury needs to be erased, and if it means players will be a little uncomfortable and feel as though they're being slowed down, so be it.
For some, the need for comfort and speed runs deep. Raiders cornerback Ron Bartell said that he's already saving money for fines because he doesn't enjoy be over-padded. Fines won't be the punishment, though, as the league likely won't let players onto the field if they're not wearing the required uniform. Thigh and knee pads will be part of the uniform now, so conform or sit.
Chargers linebacker Jarret Johnson called it a PR stunt.
"The repetitive amount of hits we take, day in and day out — this, to me, is a PR stunt … If you get hit in the legs, you're doing something wrong. You're either getting cut or standing there. Usually, when guys are aggressive and they're hitting back, the legs aren't usually getting hit."
It's not a stunt, it's a necessity. A PR stunt is an unnecessary and often absurd measure, but injury-related litigation has pushed the league past its lawsuit tolerance threshold, forcing Goodell to fight for every inch of padding.
He's protecting the league, and protecting the players from themselves.

SOAP is dead. No it's not. SOAP is undead.
And the undead still inhabit the enterprise… in a big way.
I'm at Gluecon, the kind of event where passionate developers gather. These are people who for the most part never use SOAP. They work with REST – undoubtedly the king of all APIs.
John Musser of Programmable Web set the context yesterday when he gave his address about the "State of the API," a discussion he also led" last year at Gluecon.
His presentation showed that 73% of the APis on Programmable Web use REST. SOAP is far behind but is still represented in 17% of the APIs.
But outside Gluecon's passionate circle of developers, SOAP is still used inside many an enterprise. So why is SOAP undead?
Clay Loveless presented "The Failure of SOAP" at Gluecon. Loveless is the former CTO at Mashery. He is now launching a startup called Jexy.com, which will provide integration services for developers.
He cited SOAP's complexity and the vendor wars that made tool chains a nightmare. The problem is that companies are still dependent on internal systems that have not modernized. They are dependent on SOAP. Investments have been made.
"All the tools, hires, licenses & codebase has been built around SOAP for a decade," Loveless wrote on Twitter. "Hard to turn on a dime."
SOAP's complexity also explains why many enterprises have been slow to move to Web Oriented Architectures.
I asked Michael Cote of RedMonk for his opinion about why SOAP is still used in the enterprise: "Existing applications that use it and Enterprise Architects who still want to enforce a top-down, well, architecture with it."
But the current API movement is somewhat fractured. Every developer has their own way of implementing APIs. Monica Wilkinson of Socialcast said to me today that Activity Streams and authentication have standardized to some extent. That trend will continue based upon demand.
There are other issues, too, that come with REST APIs. At Gluecon, JNBridge the release of JNBridgePro 6.0, which enables developers to access both .NET-based and Java-based cloud services and APIs from ground or cloud-based clients written in the other platform. It also allows for the development of cloud-based services and APIs that incorporate both Java and .NET-based components.
Cote was quoted in the company's press release. What he says deserves notice from the most passionate of developers:
"As enterprise development teams start including cloud technologies in their applications, incompatible cloud platforms and APIs will be a huge road block," said Michael Cote, analyst at RedMonk. "We're already seeing a clamoring for tools and services that integrate this spaghetti bowl of end-points, and they're only going to become more important to realizing the benefits of cloud development."
In the meantime, SOAP is not dead by any means. It's undead and will remain that way for some time to come.

Find out why treating puppy worms the right way is so important. Parasites can make your puppy feel awful & uncomfortable, but they can also make him very sick!
Finding worms in puppies is pretty much to be expected, at least when they're very young.
Many pups are born with Roundworms (passed onto them in their momma's bloodstream or milk), and several other types of worms are transmitted by contact with external parasites.
A few intestinal worms aren't something to panic about as in the short term they're not going to do any real harm. BUT they do need to be treated to prevent complications or illness.
There are worm medications available over-the-counter but it's 'hit and miss' to use one of these.
Unless you're absolutely certain what type of worm your puppy has, you could be using something that's going to be targeting the wrong parasite.
Plus, OTC dewormers are not as effective, or often as safe, as the products your veterinarian can prescribe or administer.
Most vets will routinely treat a puppy for dog worms at the same time as giving him his puppy vaccinations.
It's not a 'one-off' treatment either, generally the dewormer will need to be given 3 times, at 2 or 3 week intervals. This is to make sure that the worms in ALL stages of development are eradicated properly.
After this, unless your pup shows symptoms of a new worm infestation, he will usually only need to be treated once a year, when he gets his annual vaccination booster shots.
There are several different proprietary medications used to treat dog worms, and your safest route is to use a product that your vet either recommends, prescribes or administers himself/herself.
Over-the-counter dewormers from chain stores are often not very effective, and can have nasty side effects.
Plus if you don't know exactly what type of worms your puppy has (and even if you DO see some worms in your pup's poop and can identify them - which is unlikely), then it's impossible to be sure you're using the right medicine.

Although not, strictly speaking, a method of treating puppy worms, prevention is key to keeping your puppy safe from all sorts of parasites.
Because worms can be spread by contact with fleas and mosquitoes, it's very important to protect your puppy from these annoying little bugs.
Using a reliable and safe flea/tick medication on a monthly basis is the best way to make sure these biting critters don't set up home on your little one!
There are lots of products to choose from and literally something for everyone.. or every pup.
Preventing heartworms isn't just important, it's absolutely critical because these worms can kill a pup or dog quite easily and by the time symptoms of an infestation show up the pet is already very sick.
Giving your pup a heartworm preventative such as Heartgard every month will keep him safe and give you peace of mind.
There are also other ways to help reduce the chances of your puppy suffering from a bout of worms.....
As some types of puppy worms are picked up by your puppy from the soil, or from eating the feces of infected animals, it's important to keep an eye on him when he's outdoors.
Discourage chewing or eating rocks, dirt or sticks and keep him on a leash when you're out and about so that he can't sniff, lick or eat another dog (or animals) feces.
And last, but most definitely not least, a puppy who is sick, whose diet is poor, or whose immune system is weak is a prime target for parasites... not to mention dangerous viruses and bacteria as well.
Keeping your puppy well fed and healthy is one of the best ways to protect him from parasites and illness. What you feed him plays a crucial role in his overall health, and choosing a premium puppy food which contains the right balance of ingredients is very important.
To help keep your puppy's digestive and immune systems in tip-top shape you can give him a natural supplement which will make sure your puppy gets ALL the nutrients, vitamins, minerals and enzymes that he needs to keep his digestive system strong and clean, and support his immune function too.
Here are a couple of the very best products on the market, ones that I would recommend.....
So, to sum up.... making sure that you use a reliable and safe deworming medication on your pup when he's young, giving him a nutritious diet, protecting him from parasites and getting him regular veterinary care will give him the best chance at living life worm-free!
