Back On Ice
Thanks to a tentative agreement between the owners and players, the NHL lockout is over. Players are ready to hit the ice, but will the fans come back? Reaction » Excited for return? » Rank 'Em! »
ESPN.com IllustrationSuper Bowl XLIX is just days away, and so-called "Deflategate" still is dominating the talk surrounding the game. No matter what, though, the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will square off Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, with each team attempting to add to its legacy. The Seahawks are aiming for the first NFL repeat since ... New England, which won its second and third titles under Bill Belichick and Tom Brady in 2003 and 2004. Will it happen again, or will the legendary coach/QB combo get its elusive fourth ring?
Shortly after Bill Belichick and Tom Brady denied any knowledge of the New England Patriots' underinflated footballs from the AFC Championship Game, we asked SportsNation: Do you believe the coach and the quarterback?
The early response:
America really, REALLY believes Brady and Belichick » http://t.co/byxrcVCIbu pic.twitter.com/yRBnEqTjeY
— SportsNation (@SportsNation) January 22, 2015
However, this poll was placed primarily on ESPNBoston.com, meaning only a few cynics from Nebraska could overcome the wave of support from the Patriots' national following.
When the poll went wide, though? Things changed everywhere ... except one certain region of the country.

Kobe Bryant may have passed Michael Jordan on the NBA's all-time scoring list Sunday, but former Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller says that Bryant, now No. 3 on the list, doesn't come close to being the player Jordan was:

The quote came from "The Dan Patrick Show" Tuesday when Miller was asked which player was tougher to guard. Miller did add: "That is not shortchanging Kobe Bryant because he gave me my lunch pail, too."

4. Visas and accreditation
4.1 Nominations and appointments
All home-based staff of diplomatic missions and consular posts in Australia must be formally nominated and accepted before taking up their appointments. This is effectively managed through the request for and grant of diplomatic visas for new staff members and their dependants. The sending state's clear advice of the officer being replaced or, in the case of new positions, the functions to be performed assists with determination of the level of diplomatic or consular accreditation to be granted.
4.1.1 Dependants
Provided they are formally nominated by the foreign ministry of the sending state, the Australian Government will accept as dependants a spouse and unmarried children up to 21 years of age who form part of the officer's physical household. Same sex or de facto partners will be accepted, provided they are formally nominated by the sending state.
As a courtesy, unmarried children who are over 21 but not more than 24 years of age and who can demonstrate they are undertaking full-time studies at an Australian educational institution in the city of the officer's posting may also be granted diplomatic visas. Where fees are paid by semester, the mission must forward copies of payment receipts to Protocol Branch as they are paid. Even if the dependant has a visa valid until the following April, the department requires evidence of payment of second semester fees by mid-September. Failure to provide receipts could jeopardise the dependant's eligibility for future visa renewals.
In exceptional circumstances, the Department will consider granting diplomatic visas to other relatives who have an established history of dependence on the officer for physical or psychological reasons. The sending state's foreign ministry should explain the basis and duration of dependency and, if appropriate, provide a medical certificate confirming the exceptional circumstances which are claimed. If approved, such dependants are admitted as private family members without diplomatic or consular privileges and immunities.
Family members who do not qualify for entry to Australia as members of an officer's household and are therefore not eligible for diplomatic visas may seek an appropriate visa (eg visitor, student) from the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) through the nearest Australian mission overseas.
4.1.2 Military Attachés/Advisers
In regard to the appointment of Defence, Navy, Army and Air Attachés/Advisers, missions should formally submit details including a brief biography of nominees to Protocol Branch at least four weeks before the planned arrival date and await the Department's formal acceptance before diplomatic visas are sought. Once approved, military staff and their dependants should obtain diplomatic visas in the normal way.
4.1.3 Diplomatic couriers and officers on short term missions
Diplomatic visas should be sought for diplomatic couriers visiting Australia on official business.
Protocol Branch will also consider requests for diplomatic visas for home-based officers on short term missions to Australia, for example, to cover during the temporary absence of an accredited officer of a diplomatic mission or consular post.
Representatives of international trade promotion offices, cultural institutes or tourism offices, teachers of foreign languages, religious instructors and community welfare workers are not eligible for diplomatic visas. Persons appointed to such positions should apply to DIBP for an appropriate visa to allow them to work in Australia.
Other foreign government officials who may be visiting Australia on business, for example, to attend an international conference or for bilateral consultations, should apply to DIBP for a business visa.
4.1.4 Australian citizens and permanent residents of Australia
The Australian Government will not agree to an Australian citizen or permanent resident being appointed as a diplomatic or consular representative unless there are exceptional circumstances. If consent is given, the privileges and immunities of the person concerned will be limited to those provided for in the appropriate Vienna Convention i.e. Article 38(1) of the VCDR and Article 71 of the VCCR. There would be no entitlement to financial privileges, and advice should be sought from the Australian Tax Office on personal liability to pay income tax and fringe benefits tax.
Australian permanent residents whose appointment to a diplomatic mission or consular post in Australia is approved by DFAT should be aware that grant of a diplomatic visa effectively cancels their permanent resident visa. If they wish to reacquire permanent residency after completing their diplomatic consular assignment, they would need to reapply to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. There is no guarantee such an application would be successful.
Diplomatic visa holders who wish to apply to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) for a new permanent residence visa or to reacquire Australian citizenship must first obtain DFAT concurrence (see Section 4.2.6). If permanent residence visas are granted by DIBP or Australian citizenship reinstated, the persons' accreditation will be ceased and their entitlement to privileges and immunities will be affected.
4.2 Visas
All foreign officials posted to Australia and their dependants must hold valid visas. Diplomatic (subclass 995) visas are temporary entry visas, usually issued for an initial term of four years. They have a multiple entry facility, allowing the holder to enter and leave Australia without limitation until the "must not arrive after" date cited on the visa. Importantly, diplomatic visas are valid for the "duration of status" of the principal visa holder (the officer). This means that a diplomatic visa becomes invalid when an officer's posting finishes, even if this occurs before the "must not arrive after" date cited on the visa.
If a diplomatic visa holder leaves Australia on completion of posting and wishes to return, s/he must apply to DIBP for a different visa appropriate to the purpose of travel.
4.2.1 Visa issue
When nominating officials to diplomatic missions and consular posts in Australia and requesting diplomatic visas for them, sending governments should provide:
- details of the officer's full name and date and place of birth
- a valid passport
- diplomatic or consular title and the position to be occupied in Australia
- name of officer being replaced or, in the case of a new position, a description of the role and duties the nominee will perform
- expected duration of the posting
- proposed date of travel
- details of family members who will form part of the household in Australia for the duration of the posting, including full name, place and date of birth, and showing the relationship of each person to the principal
- advice as to whether the officer and/or any accompanying family member/s hold Australian citizenship (including dual citizenship) or permanent residency
Diplomatic visas will be evidenced by the nearest Australian mission that has a visa issuing capacity. The maximum stay in Australia will be ten years.
4.2.2 Duration of postings in Australia
Provision of diplomatic visas to diplomatic, administrative and technical and service staff and their consular equivalents is based on the assumption that all staff are rotated regularly and none are posted indefinitely. Most sending states post staff to Australia for three to four years. New diplomatic visas for officials and dependants wishing to remain in Australia beyond this notional posting period will be considered on a year by year basis.
4.2.3 Visa renewal
Should a visa expire before the official's tour of duty is completed, a formal application for visa renewal should be made to Protocol Branch or to the Department's office in the relevant capital city. The application must be accompanied by valid passports and one passport size (approximately 35 x 45mm) photograph for the principal and each dependant. At least three working days is required to process correctly documented applications for new diplomatic visas.
If visas cannot be renewed before departure on unexpected travel, an application may be made at any of Australia's overseas missions. If necessary, Protocol Branch will notify an Australian mission en route to facilitate visa renewal or arrange for visa issue on arrival in Australia.
4.2.4 Birth of children in Australia
Children born to members of the Diplomatic or Consular Corps in Australia must obtain an Australian visa. The birth should be registered with the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages in the State or Territory concerned as soon as possible. Protocol Branch or the relevant State or Territory office must then be advised of the birth, so the department's records can be updated and a visa issued to the child. The birth certificate and passport for the child will need to be presented for this purpose.
4.2.5 Departure of members of the household
Missions and posts are required to inform Protocol Branch when any person accepted as forming part of an officer's household ceases to be eligible to remain, for example by leaving the household, exceeding the age limits for children (see 4.1.1), or completing studies.
4.2.6 Change of visa status
Diplomatic visa (995S visas) holders may seek to obtain other types of visas with the concurrence of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. If the holder of a diplomatic (995S) visa wishes to seek a change of status by applying for a student, spouse, or other non-diplomatic visa, the mission or post must formally notify Protocol Branch or the Department's relevant State or Territory office and seek confirmation that the Department has no objections before the person applies to DIBP.
4.2.7 Visa status after completion of posting
Because diplomatic visas become invalid on an officer's completion of posting, foreign missions must formally advise the Department of any officers or dependants who wish to remain in Australia after that time, for example, to complete studies. The Department can then make appropriate arrangements with DIBP to ensure that the persons concerned remain lawfully in Australia.
4.3 Accreditation
In order to formalise accreditation procedures, Protocol Branch requires written advice of the arrival of officers and dependants to take up their posting, and of their final departure from the mission to which they have been accredited.
Honorary consuls, who are normally Australian citizens or permanent residents, should advise Protocol Branch or the relevant DFAT office of the dates on which they commence and complete their assignment.
The Department should be formally notified by the sending state's foreign ministry if a sending state decides to transfer staff on a long-term basis between its missions within Australia. Transfers will be treated as new appointments, meaning that arrival and departure procedures must be completed in respect of each assignment.
Diplomatic status will be accorded to staff posted to Canberra who are performing diplomatic functions. Officials assigned to consular posts in Australia are accredited as members of the consular corps. Members of consular posts are not considered to be part of a resident diplomatic mission, and are therefore not eligible for diplomatic status.
4.3.1 Notification of arrival
The following documentation must be sent to Protocol Branch or, in the case of career consular representatives, to the Department's office in the relevant State or Territory capital city:
- a note verbale confirming the arrival of the new officer
- completed Form A - "Notification of Arrival of Members of Foreign Missions" (see Appendix 1)
- for officers accompanied by dependants, completed Form(s) B -"Notification of Arrival of Family Member" (see Appendix 2)
- passports for the officer and each dependant
- two passport size colour photos with a plain, light background, preferably pale blue, for the officer and each dependant.
Honorary consuls should notify the department of their commencement using Form E "Notification of Commencement of Honorary Consular Officer" (see Appendix 5).
4.3.2 Notification of departures
The following documentation should be completed and sent to Protocol Branch or to the Department's office in the relevant State or Territory capital city as close as possible to the completion of an officer's posting:
- a note verbale confirming the completion of posting
- completed Form F - "Notification of Departure/Completion of Employment" (see Appendix 6 [pdf])
- identity cards issued by the Department.
4.3.3 Changes in accreditation
If a change of accreditation is required during an officer's posting, for example from administrative and technical to diplomatic staff or from consular employee to consular officer, the reasons must be documented with formal advice provided from the sending state's foreign ministry seeking approval for the officer's status to be upgraded. The basis for the proposed change should be explained and the new duties specified.
4.4 Identity Cards
The Department issues identity cards to members of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps resident in Australia on the basis of information provided in the original nomination by the sending state and in the arrival documentation submitted by the mission or post concerned.
The identity cards, which feature a scanned-in, tamper-proof photograph, represent official recognition of the status granted under the Vienna Conventions. Each identity card carries a brief general statement of the immunities to which the bearer is entitled. Cards issued to Australian citizens or permanent residents who have been accepted as diplomatic or consular representatives will reflect the limited privileges and immunities that may apply.
Loss of, or damage to, an identity card should be reported to the department as soon as possible so that a replacement card may be issued. Lost cards should also be reported to the police so that steps can be taken to ensure they are not used fraudulently.
4.4.1 Issue of identity cards
Identity cards distinguish the holder's status in accordance with the following categories of accreditation:
- diplomatic and administrative and technical staff members of diplomatic missions and their spouses
- consular officers
- consular employees
- honorary consuls
- service staff of diplomatic missions and consular posts
As a courtesy, the department issues identity cards to the spouses of consular officers. As these persons are not entitled to claim immunity, their cards are intended for identification purposes only.
The department does not issue identity cards to the spouses of consular employees, service staff and honorary consuls.
The cards are colour coded as follows:
- Diplomatic - red
- Administrative & Technical - blue
- Consular Officer - emerald green
- Consular Employee - olive green
- Service - yellow
- Honorary Consul - grey
- International Organisation - brown
4.4.2 Expiry of identity cards
Identity cards are issued with an expiry date to match the "must not arrive after" date cited on the holder's diplomatic visa. If an officer continues to be accredited beyond the expiry date of his/her identity card, the mission or post should forward the expired card, one passport size colour photograph and a request for renewal to Protocol Branch or to the department's office in the relevant State or Territory. The expiry date of the new identity card will match the end date of the officer's new diplomatic visa.
At the end of an officer's posting in Australia, all identity cards must be returned to DFAT for cancellation.
4.5 The Diplomatic and Consular Lists
Electronic versions of the Diplomatic and Consular Lists are updated daily and published on DFAT's website at www.dfat.gov.au/protocol. Missions and posts are encouraged to access the lists on the website for current information. Word versions of the Lists can be downloaded from the department's website. These are updated every three to four weeks. The Diplomatic and Consular Lists are also published annually in hard copy format.
The Diplomatic and Consular Lists include the names of accredited diplomats and consular officers respectively, and their spouses. Entries for non-resident missions normally include only the names of the Head of Mission and spouse.
For consistency, the following diplomatic designations are used in the Diplomatic List:
- Ambassador/High Commissioner
- Chargé d'Affaires
- Chargé d'Affaires a.i./Acting High Commissioner
- Minister/Minister-Counsellor
- Deputy High Commissioner
- Counsellor, First or Second or Third Secretary
- Attaché
Military staff are shown as Adviser (for Commonwealth countries) or Attaché (for non-Commonwealth countries).
Generally, posts detailed in the Consular List are titled Consulate-General or Consulate. Individual designations include Consul-General, Deputy Consul-General, Consul, Vice-Consul, Honorary Consul-General and Honorary Consul. In exceptional circumstances, a post may be titled a Consular Agency and staff assigned to it, a Consular Agent.
If an indication of an officer's functions is required, this appears in parentheses after the rank, for example, Attaché (Administrative) or Consul (Commercial).
4.5.1 Updating the Diplomatic and Consular Lists
The Diplomatic and Consular Lists are produced from the protocol database using arrival and departure documentation submitted by missions and posts.
Approximately eight weeks before publishing the new hard copy edition of the Diplomatic and Consular Lists, missions and posts will receive a printout of their entries in the format in which they will appear, and will be asked to check their accuracy. It is essential that missions and posts respond to this communication, even if no amendments to their entries are necessary.
4.5.2 Obtaining copies
The Department distributes a small number of copies of the Diplomatic List free of charge to diplomatic missions. Small numbers of the Consular List are distributed to diplomatic missions and consular posts.
4.6 Contact details
The Diplomatic and Consular Lists give telephone, fax and e-mail details for use by members of the public. Officers' private contact details are not published. However, the department requires private contact details in case of emergency. The provision of after hours and mobile telephone numbers is particularly important in this regard. Diplomatic missions and consular posts are requested to advise the department promptly of changes to officers' private addresses or telephone numbers.
4.6.1 Staff returns
To ensure its records are comprehensive and up to date, the department undertakes periodic reviews of the protocol database, known as the staff return. The staff return covers all staff associated with diplomatic missions and consular posts in Australia, including locally engaged staff and foreign domestic staff employed privately by officers under diplomatic or consular privilege. All missions and posts are required to respond to correspondence on the staff return, even if their staff details remain unchanged.

Well the wait was finally over. Due to living in the UK, I had to wait even longer for my game to arrive. It finally came on Wednesday 26th, but I was at work and I was unable to collect it until the Friday. But again had to go to work and so couldn't do anything with it - but atleast I had it. I was busy with friends over the weekend, they wouldn't have wanted to play and they have very young children who I didn't want getting close to the very delicate looking miniatures.
And so the wait was finally over late on Sunday, once they had gone. I opened up the box, punched everything out and set up my first game - the quick play example. My wife is not massively into these games and so I thought it best to try it out solo first until I know how to play and can help her best. I decided to play rebel (Rookie Pilot) and do random spins for the Imperials (Academy Pilot, Obsidian Squadron). The game was fine, but ended quite quickly, the Imperials did rubbish turns and never had a chance and went down quite quickly - I don't think they even did any damage to my X-wing. All-in-all I had fun, but was disappointed by the ineffective random AI.
Later that night I dislocated my shoulder and so have had trouble playing since, with only one arm. I managed to play a second game today, again solo. This time using the forces from Mission 1, but not the Mission itself. Again I chose Rebels (Red Squadron) against AI Imperials (2x Academy Pilot), this time I chose to roll for the Imperials flights, which someone else suggested in another thread. This game worked alot better, the AI still did random things - but this often saved them from my predicatable movements! I did one early good shot on one ship, doing two damage - one of which was a critical (the one where you roll at the beginning of each combat phase and gain a point of damage if you roll a hit) As he only had one hull point left I thought that it was only time before he blew up and so went after the second ship. It then became a chase of him avoiding me and me trying to hunt him down, with little success but lots of fun! At one point they managed to fly out of my arc of fire and both get their weapons trained on me, I was annoyed but a little impressed. They managed to take both shields off me because of this move. I kept having pot shots at the second fighter, but he rolled awesome defense dice and I only managed 1 hit, a critical which gave him stress. Eventually I caught him again, but this time I rolled awesomely and did 4 hits, which he failed to save. After all this time, my plan to wait for the first fighter to blow up by himself failed, so I had to do it myself. It didn't take too long before I had caught him and finished him off.
Some notes about the game - The Imps did well, they often flew out of my sights because they did the unusual manouver.
They struggled with stress, they both gained stress early on but struggled to roll green manouvers to get rid of them, although this did help them evade me a couple of times, as I was expecting a green manouver and they didn't do it.
I won due to my higher Pilot Skill, both final kills were done when the Imperials also had shots on me, but due to my higher skill level I fired first. I tried their shots afterwards - just to see what could have happened, and between them they would have blown me up!
A question did arise from the game. The critical card that I mentioned above, does the fighter only take damage on a roll of a hit icon, or does it take damage on the roll of a critical too? I played it that it didn't.
Overall I liked the game playing solo and look forward to more games and hopefully some against a real person!

This page gives you advice and guidance on the application procedure for imports, exports, re-exports and CITES certificates.
It also provides advice on the import of personal and household effects which may not require permits, and the import of hunting trophies.
Import and export documents must be obtained prior to the shipment taking place. All permits and forms must be presented to customs upon entry to the EU. Permits are valid for a period of six months. There are some specific allowances for imports of personal effects and hunting trophies.
Application Forms for imports, exports and re-exports - Please print off the form and return to:
CITES Management Authority Email: firstname.lastname@example.com |
Download MS Excel Format: CITES Import / Export Application Form 2013 Download in PDF Format: CITES Import/Export Permit Application Form NB - A separate form is required for CITES Certificates (see below) |
The commercial use of any Annex A specimen within the EU must be covered by a CITES Trade Certificate. A certificate is required for specimens of species listed on Annex A for any of the following activities:
Certificates are not only required for live Annex A plants and animals, but also dead parts and derivatives (e.g. body mounts, carapaces, eggs). Internet transactions for Annex A species also require CITES Certificates. A CITES certificate is not required simply to possess an Annex A specimen, nor it is a document of legal ownership. You do not require a CITES certificate to gift an Annex A specimen to another person.
To check if a species is listed on Annex A of the EU Wildlife Trade Regulations, search for the species name (either scientific or common name) in the UNEP-WCMC species database. Guidance on how to use the UNEP-WCMC website.
There are two types of EC Certificate; Transaction Specific Certificates (TSCs) or Specimen Specific Certificates (SSCs).

Download CITES Certificate Not Live Specimen Application Formin Excel Format Download CITES Certificate Not Live Specimen Application Form in PDF Format NB - A separate form is required for CITES import/export permits (see above) |
The majority of import permits and EC Certificates are issued without applying movement a restriction, meaning that the specimens may move freely within the EU. In some cases, a movement restriction may be applied to either an import permit or EC Certificate for a live Annex A specimen. Movement of such specimens to other EC Member States without the prior Authorisation of the Irish Management Authority (MA) is prohibited.
Procedure to apply to move a live Annex A specimen with an existing movement restriction:

CITES Management Authority Email: firstname.lastname@example.com |
Download MS Excel Form: CITES Certificate Live Specimen Application Form [51 KB] NB - A separate form is required for CITES import/export permits (see above) |
A personal effect is defined as a dead CITES specimen, or a part or derivative of a dead CITES specimen, which belongs to an individual person. Personal effects do not include any live pet animals. Guidance on the import/export of personal effects for EU citizens is provided below for specimens listed on EC Annexes A-D. Personal allowances, which do not require permits, are listed.
If you are exporting an Annex B personal effect from the EU, an export permit is required.
Procedures on the processing of applications in relation to CITES are set out in detail in the EU Wildlife Trade Regulations. These procedures operate in tandem with the licensing provisions in relation to the export and import regulations under Section 52 and Section 53 of the Wildlife Act, 1976 (as amended).
Under CITES Regulations the import into and export from the EU of specimens of species which are CITES listed requires that appropriate checks and formalities be carried out at a designated Customs Office. In 2011 Regulations were published amending the list of designated Customs Offices SI 377 of 2011 [105KB].
The Table below lists the current designated Customs Offices.

TUCSON- The PGA announced Tuesday morning that Tucson will be the new host of a PGA TOUR's Champions Tour event next March.
The Tucson Classic will be held March 16 through March 22 at the Omni Tucson National Resort.
The Tucson Conquistadores will operate the new event, which will feature an 81-player field competing for a $1.7 million purse, Tucson Conquistadores spokeswoman Joan Liess said in a press releae.
The Tucson Classic will have three days of competition, Friday through Sunday, and two Pro-Am events on March 18 and 19.
"Tucson is going to be a popular city for our players as many of them experienced success here during their PGA TOUR careers," said Champions Tour President Mike Stevens. "We are thrilled the Conquistadores have become involved with the Champions Tour and we look forward to a long partnership in Tucson."
With the PGA Match Play event being taken off the 2015 PGA schedule, Tucson was left without a tour event until Tuesday's announcement.
Tucson has hosted a professional golf tournament since 1945 and the event was played under many different names until 2006, Liess said.
The 7,262-yard, par 73 course Omni Tucson National Catalina Course has played host to the PGA TOUR more than 30 times, Liess said.
Some of the big name golfers expected to play in the Tucson Classic include Tom Watson, Kirk Triplett and Craig Stadler.
The Tucson Classic will be broadcast on the Golf Channel.

Tory chairman Grant Shapps has launched a scathing attack on Chris Huhne ahead of a by-election in the former Energy Secretary's constituency.
He said the people of Eastleigh "been let down by an MP who was being less than straightforward with his constituents".
Mr Huhne resigned after pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice yesterday.
In a separate development, UKIP leader Nigel Farage ruled out putting himself forward for the seat.
Writing on the Telegraph website, he said it would not be "in the party's best interests" for him to stand, as he is responsible for leading the upcoming local election campaign as well as leading a group in the European Parliament.
Labour has been downplaying its chances after securing only 9.6% of the constituency vote in 2010.

Our house is in the process of being repainted from a generic white on both the siding and trim. We chose SW Alabaster as the new color and agreed to allow both the trim and the siding to be again painted the same color. While it looks ok we would like some subtle contrast.
I have not been able to find pics or discussions about a trim color to use with Alabaster. Would SW Pure White work for the trim to add just a little contrast? Painter thinks we wouldn't notice any difference. |

I'm not sure what you mean by the same color...do you mean the trim will be the same color as it was...white? Or do you mean the same color as the siding? SW alabaster is a near white so I doubt you'll see much difference, and certainly very little difference with white trim. Hard to judge without a picture of your house, but most houses benefit from the look of the trim which will disappear unless you pick something with more contrast. Even if you went with Bungalow Beige and left the trim white, you'd get enough contrast to add interest. |

The faculty and staff of Butler University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences presents
by Isabel Wilderson, Vintage, 2010
Reviewed by Mary Ramsbottom
If your reading habits tend to a few pages a night compensated by weekend sprints, you might wonder whether The Warmth of Other Suns, at 500+ pages, is worth the investment. Indeed, it is. In Suns, Isabel Wilkerson reconstructs the Great Migration of African-American families to urban centers of the northern and western states between World War I and the 1970's. Drawing on more than a thousand oral histories, Suns' narrative pull comes from three families whose choices, reflecting economic and social causes common to migrations everywhere, were lent special urgency by the brutalities of the Jim Crow south. Wilkerson resists the temptation to ask Ida Mae Gladney (Mississippi to South Side Chicago), George Starling (Florida to Harlem), and Robert Foster (Louisiana to Los Angeles) to carry too heavy a representative burden for a movement encompassing millions. These lives are richly resonant, but they also display varieties in individual experience inflected by gender, geography, educational background, personality, and opportunity. Wilkerson interweaves original research and recent scholarly interpretations into the narrative; for example, she provides a welcome corrective to the dominant late-twentieth-century lament that southern migrants imported cultural and family dysfunction to northern communities. While allowing her narrators pride of place throughout, Wilkerson thus satisfies the general non-fiction reader's desire for contextualization and assessment of historical consequence.

Robotic Welding
There are many factors that need to be considered when setting up a robotic welding facility. Robotic welding needs to be engineered differently than manual welding. Some of the consideration for a robotic welding facility are listed below:
Robots should have the number of axes necessary to permit the proper range of motion. The robot arm should be able to approach the work from multiple angles. Robotic welding systems are able to operate continuously, provided appropriate maintenance procedures are adhered to. Continuous production line interruptions can be minimized with proper robotic system design. Planning for the following contingencies needs to be completed:
Contact AMC engineering for robotic welding consulting or planning a robotic production line. Hire our consultant to act as your welding specialist. Contact Information

The Cherokee name Jocassee means "Place of the Lost One," and what a fitting description that is for the South Carolina lake that bears its name, and for its sister lake, Lake Keowee. In 1974, Duke Energy Corporation finished construction of the Oconee Nuclear Station on the Keowee River in Oconee County, SC. The construction project included these two man-made lakes. The largest is Lake Keowee, which was built at the station site. Lake Jocassee, built at a higher elevation to serve as a pump storage lake for hydroelectric power generation, covers 7,656 acres, impounding the waters of the Whitewater, Thompson, Horsepasture and Toxaway Rivers.
Artist's rendering of what would become Oconee Nuclear Station on lake Keowee in Oconee County.
There's no question that Lake Keowee's 18,500 acres of water and 300 miles of shoreline have been a valuable source of energy and recreation in northwestern South Carolina. The lake provides a dependable water supply for Greenville and Seneca. The station's generators have a total capacity of 174,000 killowatts of electricity. And campers can enjoy the county-managed 155-acre Mile Creek Park, the 40-acre South Cove Park, and 44-acre High Falls Park (all leased from Duke).
Progress, as always, has a cost.
It was a post-World War II boom-time, for growth in population, housing, energy-use and consumption. No river with the downhill heft of Keowee would escape the dam builders' advances. It was also a time in which the economics of the family farm forced some uncomfortable compromises among those who had for all history, in the words of Fruber Whitmire, "lived at home." Growing one's living was a dying way of life; an infringing world ran on ready cash.So the die was cast. Not many who lose a birthplace, a homeplace, a piece of sacred earth to a dam through eminent domain are going to bless Duke Power.
Keowee – Micheal Hembree and Dot Jackson
Beneath the two lakes lay some of the most ancient and significant Native American and early European archaeological sites in the Southeast. Two hundred feet below Lake Keowee's surface sit Fort Prince George, an early British military outpost, and the Cherokee village site at Keowee–"land of mulberry groves,"– which during the eighteenth century served as the capital of the Lowerhill Cherokee. Many other historic towns and buildings, such as Falls Creek Church, Estatoe, Sugartown, Mt Carmel Church, Jocassee Village, Camp Jocassee, and Keowee Church, felt the onrush of the Keowee River's dammed waters.
This was the home place of John Thomas Newton, circa 1917. The site is now under water due to Lake Keowee construction.
Lake construction also required harvesting the wild timberlands in the lake basins, including some of the last stands of native old growth forest in the southern Blue Ridge Mountains. These lakes inundated some of the best bottomland in upstate South Carolina. When Crescent Land and Timber Company, a subsidiary of Duke Energy, finished the clearing operation in the fall of 1969, they had harvested 17.5 million board feet of pine sawtimber, 15 million board feet of hardwood sawtimber and 51,800 cords of pulpwood.
Duke Energy boasted that this was enough sawtimber to build 2,350 six-room houses, and that the pulpwood would load 2,250 railroad cars. Some of the yellow poplar trees that were harvested in the ancient forest of Jocassee were reported to be 200 feet tall, seven feet in diameter and over 200 years old.
Then there was the question of submerged cemeteries. State law prohibits damage or destruction of human remains. It is a felony, and conviction carries a maximum file of $5,000 and 10 years in prison. So suitable reinterment plots had to be found. "Old Pickens" was located at Robertson's Ford on the Keowee River, near where the nuclear station now sits. The only building remaining from Old Pickens is the old Presbyterian Church. There is a church yard with some of the original old tombstones, and next to that are the reinterred graves of Fannie Gibson, Joab Lewis, Isabella Baskin Reid, and a number of others moved to the site by Duke Power.
Other graves identified and claimed by relatives were moved to Martin Grove Wesleyan Methodist Church, Mount Carmel Baptist, Oconee Memorial Gardens Cemetery, Sunrise Cemetery in Pickens, and Stamp Creek Baptist Church Cemetery. (For a more complete list see http://sciway3.net/scgenweb/oconee-county/cemetery-txt/c997.txt)
The Duke Power Company Memorial Cemetery was established during the construction of Lake Keowee as a place where unclaimed graves could be reinterred. If a living relative could not be found to specify a new interment location, the unknown remains where buried here.
In the fall of 2007 Duke Energy hired a Georgia-based company to do an archeological survey of Lake Keowee that will encompass the shoreline, islands and undeveloped portions of lake access areas. "The region is rich in history, and we believe it is important to identify archaeological and historic sites within the reservoir," said Joe Hall, manager of Duke Energy's lake-use permitting.
Luther Lyle, chairman of Oconee County's Arts and Historical Commission, called the survey a wonderful thing, but late in coming.
"The Cherokee were all up and down the river and a lot is already under water," Mr. Lyle said. "There is a wealth of knowledge and information to be gained from what's still above the lake. I think the mindset has changed since the lakes were put in and we realized how much we have lost."

Death Becomes Her
Brittany Walter has always been interested in death. "Actually, it goes beyond interest and fascination," says or said the USC doctoral student. "I've always had an understanding of death.
"It started when I was in seventh grade," she explains. "I read mostly forensic crime novels, like 'Death du Jour,' 'Break No Bones' and 'Bones to Ashes.' I would say that I was definitely an oddball in middle school."
By the time she entered college, there was no question that the Florida native would major in anthropology and focus her studies on the secrets of human remains. Her curiosity led to conducting undergraduate research in a medical examiner's office, where she compared cranial shapes and thicknesses.
She remembers the first time she saw an autopsy. "The smell is like no other," she said. "It's sharp, pungent and sweet all at the same time. And you instinctively know it's a dead person and not an animal, even without seeing the body."
As a graduate student at the University of Central Florida, Brittany conducted further research, this time utilizing global positioning systems and ground penetrating radar for mapping and locating body parts. She also had the opportunity to work a very high profile crime case.
"My advisor was the forensic recovery expert during the Casey Anthony trail," Brittany said. "We assisted the medical examiner, and he testified at the trial."
Currently working toward a Ph.D. in anthropology at USC, Brittany has refocused her area of specialization, moving away from crime scenes to ancient burial sites and causes of death. Her research has taken her to an early Egyptian cemetery and an ancient Mediterranean gravesite in which King Midas is believed to have been buried. There she analyzed ancient skeletal remains to diagnose breast cancer and other deadly diseases.
She's working closely with USC professor Sharon Dewitte, a biological anthropologist. Dewitte investigates the mortality patterns, demographics and health consequences of medieval plague in Europe, including the Black Death of 1347-1351. What's more, Brittany teaches in the anthropology's osteology (bone) lab and is a Presidential Doctoral Fellow.
"Bones are full of information," she said. "You can tell age and sex. You can tell ancestry. You can tell whether a person was right-handed or left-handed. Bones can reveal certain diseases and how a person might have died."
By digging through the medical mysteries of the past, Brittany is not only discovering new and fascinating information from history, she is uncovering the diagnostic tools of tomorrow that may some day help solve some of our most challenging health problems.
