Authors and authority : English and American criticism, 1750-1990
by Patrick Parrinder
18 editions published between 1991 and 1992 in English and held by 439 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "Authors and Authority" is a one-volume history of Anglo-American literary criticism from the neoclassical period up until recent trends in modern literary theory, feminist criticism and cultural history. Focussing on the work of major critics such as Johnson, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Arnold, Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Leavis, Frye and Lionel Trilling, Parrinder traces the connections between authorship and critical authority, and between literary debate and the changing forms of culture and society. Surveying the development that leads from the creative manifestos of the Romantic poets to the current interpretative theories of stucturalism, deconstruction and new historicism, the author asks whether there is a future for a distinctively literary criticism, and whether the gulf between creator and critic can be healed. -- Back cover

In many ways the same as our own - even down to the characters that inhabit it - this new planet is still somehow radically different, for the two walkers are now upon a Utopian Earth controlled by a single World Government. Here, as they soon learn, all share a common language, there is sexual, economic and racial equality, and society is ruled by socialist ideals enforced by an austere, voluntary elite: the 'Samurai'. But what will the Utopians make of these new visitors from a less perfect world?"--Back cover more

FDA Animal Feed Safety System 2006 Public Meeting
September 12, 2006
9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is holding a public meeting to present work-in-progress on a method for ranking animal feed contaminants by their relative risks to animal and human health. At this meeting, the Agency will describe the methods it plans to use to develop animal and human Health Consequence Scoring for chemical, physical and biological feed contaminants.
Prior to the public meeting, the FDA will place two documents in Docket No. 2003N-0312 entitled, "List of Potentially Hazardous Contaminants in Animal Feed and Feed Ingredients" and "Determining Health Consequence Scoring for Feed Contaminants." The documents will summarize the Agency's methods for assigning animal and human Health Consequence Scoring to physical, chemical and biological contaminants that may be present in animal feed. Details of these methods will be discussed at the meeting. An agenda for the meeting will also be placed in docket.
You may submit written comments to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA 305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. Two copies of written comments are to be submitted, except that individuals may submit one copy.

The much anticipated HAF X arrives as the flagship of the popular HAF (High Air Flow) series. Designed for performance systems, this chassis is able to house today's latest and hottest CPUs, motherboards, graphics cards and is even compatible with USB 3.0 devices. With specialized support and cooling for graphic cards, massive airflow with the help of up to four gigantic fans and easy access to installed components, this is as close as it gets to a system builder's 'dream case'.
The Cooler Master HAF X Blue Edition full-tower case can accommodate massive storage capacities, with six 5.25" drive bays, up to five internal 3.5" bays and nine expansion slots which support 3-way and 4-way SLI, and Quad CrossFireX. Excellent cooling is provided by four gigantic fans: one 230mm front blue LED on/off fan, one 140mm rear blue LED fan, one 200mm top and one 200mm side blue LED fan, as well as the air duct helping cool the latest graphic cards. Advanced cable management with rubber grommets keeps the interior tidy and neat and provides a better cooling. Thanks to the adjustable VGA card holder, you can install heavy graphic cards with better support. The transparent side window gives you a direct view of the inner system and the LED provides eye-catching fun.
Easy USB 2.0, USB 3.0, IEEE 1394a, e-SATA and audio connectivity is provided on the front I/O panel. This is an amazing case for the do-it-yourselfer who needs a lot of airflow and flexibility!

Just shy of excellencePros: The single most important feature I look for in a new chassis is that it has room to work, and this case delivers. There are a few tight spots, particularly around the drive cages, but this is by no means problematic for eve my fat fingers. Airflow is excellent, as you'd expect from a HAF series case, and there are plenty of options for fans and rads. Cons: My single largest complaint is the CPU cutout, as others have already mentioned. Two cooler holes were completely inaccessible on the ASUS Z97 Pro board I purchased for this build, and all of the other boards I tested had the same issue. This is just a baffling oversight on CM's part. Other Thoughts: CM's blocky, industrial look isn't for everyone, so if you're looking for a huge case with smoother lines you might try the Corsair 900D. Water coolers might also give this case careful consideration before purchasing, as fitting a 360mm rad on top is possible but challenging. I'd have preferred to see some offset holes for the top rad, too, as the current placement is somewhat limiting. Mounting options for 140mm rads/fans at the top would also be welcome. 200mm fans are fine, but I'd have liked flexibility. Did you find this review helpful? |
CM HAF X Blue Edition ReviewPros: Space. Loooots of space. Cons: Hard drive mounting strategy is kind of cheap. I had to try at least 5 different times to get the metal pin to stay in the rubber grommet when installing a 3.5" HDD. Maybe I'm just uncoordinated, but when I had a CM storm enforcer, the HDD rails were great and easy to use - these trays, not so much. Other Thoughts: Had to upgrade the case to fit the 970's. The HAF X is a monster of a case and you'll have enough room to fit any component in it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Amazing case- Way too much space inside. I love it!Pros: Absolute ton of space Cons: 2 gripes and it's not a big deal. Other Thoughts: I was going to go with the Cosmos II but after seeing the actual size of this case in person I'm glad I didn't because it's more than big enough for everything I need. You could literally run Quad SLI in this thing and still have room left over for a full water cooling loop for everything. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Cooler Master's Customer Service is Top-Notch!!Pros: I've had this computer case for quite some time and have not left a comment that it deserves. For it's Gaming purposes, it's definitely one of the better, if not best, designs out there when it comes to cooling and design. The design itself may need a new rendition because of newer cases coming out, but for functionality--it's definitely worth the purchase. One of the USB ports chipped off because of possible continuous use and Cooler Master, despite not having a receipt, was willing to replace the I/O panel. I just received a brand new replacement without a hassle. Cons: None. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great CasePros: Looks Great, Works Great, Lots of room! Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
Warped Back, Broken Front FanPros: -good airflow Cons: -came with a warped back, pulling my GPU while it was in the motherboard, probably doing some damage Other Thoughts: Really disappointed in this expensive case. I wonder if they will give me a full replacement, probably not. Manufacturer Response: 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great and sturdy casePros: This case has plenty of air flow, and plenty of space for multiple drives and large GPUs. The quick lock buttons make installing DVD drives very easy. The side window gives you a good view of the inside of your computer, and the wire shroud makes it very easy to hide a mess of cables. Cons: The firewire port started smoking and shorted out the first time I turned on the computer. It is a port I don't use so not worth deducting an egg. The side air shroud, vga air duct, and vga bracket will not fit with some large GPUs like the EVGA 780ti classified Other Thoughts: The front USB ports are up side down. This is just a bit strange, but not detrimental to function. There is a button to turn off the fan LED, but it only works for the front LED. The other fans have switches on the fans. I have not had a chance to use the hotswap bay yet, but I did wire it up for future use. Did you find this review helpful? |
I LOVE this case!Pros: I am very impressed and very pleased with this case. Fits the Corsair H100i liquid cooler PERFECTLY! Mounted the small 120mm fans below the rad and using the 200mm fans (2x) above for a push-pull airflow. Should cool a hot Intel Quad-Core very well. Plenty of room for everything I need in a high-end workstation. Cons: As almost everyone else remarks on this case, I find the missing fans a nuisance at best and I would've very willingly paid more for them to be installed in the box already. So one Egg OFF for the missing fans. Specifically, I had to add a Cooler Master MegaFlow 200mm Blue LED fan, N82E16835103073, on top next to the other one. I also had to buy a Cougar 120mm Blue LED fan, N82E16835553012, for the plastic cowling intended to cool the video card. Newegg sells both of these. I also had to track down a hard to find 80mm Diameter x 15mm Thick Blue LED fan for the metal bracket that's supposed to be mounted above the video card. That last 80x15 fan was very hard to find, especially with a Blue LED in it. Newegg does NOT carry the 80x15 Blue LED fan so I had to buy it elsewhere. Happy hunting as I cannot tell you where. :-) Newegg's Rules ya know. But their initials are P P C s. Hopefully that will not get censored out. The little 80x15 fan with a blue led was really hard to find. Other Thoughts: The parts list for this build starts with an Intel i7-4790K Haswell 4.0GHz Quad-Core/8-Threads LGA 11150 CPU, an ASUS Z97-DELUXE LGA 1150 Motherboard, 32GB Kingston Fury HyperX RAM (2 kits of a 2x 8GB Sticks Kits), a CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i liquid cooler, as my friend uses his quad-core CPU, all 8 threads, at 100% duty cycle on all 8 threads all the time! He's an extreme power user. :-) So air cooling was definitely not gonna be enough. We used an ASUS Radeon R9 280 3GB Video card, a pair of WD Black 1TB and 2TB hard drives, and an LG Blu-Ray burner and an LG DVD Burner. All drives are 6GB/s SATA drives with appropriate 6GB/s latching SATA data cables. Stuff all this into the Cooler Master HAF X Blue case and power it up with a SeaSonic 860W Platinum-rated power supply. I even modded the case by replacing the power LED with a 3mm High-Brightness Blue LED. He likes the Blue LED's and I have to admit that I do too. I did not buy the LED's through Newegg but they do carry some. I will probably replicate all of the above for myself as I really like this build a LOT. He and I usually prefer Lian Li cases (from Newegg) but this case is the exception. A really fine build. I'm hoping that he will be very happy with this build for a long, long time. I put a LOT of work in on it. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome CasePros: Great looking case, excellent air flow. You can mount a large size radiator on the top bracket and get push + pull going with the large fan included. Great design, really happy. Cons: Kind of hard to fit the included airduct, side fan port thing and GPU bracket all in there. No problem though, you can just remove those if you really cant get it too fit. Did you find this review helpful? |
Very Good BuyPros: Got to my house in one day. Looks grate. Fans work better than I thought. The coolest feature Is you can put an 120mm fan on the bracket for the GPU Cons: you can not mount Fans or a second radiator at the bottom of the case Did you find this review helpful? |

It's abstract a-go-go at Tate Modern right now. Visitors who enjoy the blockbuster Paul Klee exhibition would do well to climb the escalator to see this huge retrospective of Mira Schendel. Swiss-born Schendel emigrated to Brazil in 1949, at the age of 30. Over the four decades that followed, she produced a vast and accomplished body of work, much of which is on display here. Much of her output is extremely simple in concept, and leans toward the abstract. Many viewers will find this somewhat wearisome, particularly given the volume of work on display. There are a number of knockout pieces, though, that make it worth persevering to the end. For more of the latest arts reviews, check out www.curatedlondon.co.uk

Exclusive Fab Interview With Nicholai by Nicky Hilton!
Let me tell ya, coming to LA Fashion Week, I was not expecting to claim Nicholai by Nicky Hilton as my favorite collection. The naughty equestrian clothes were desirable, but the designer herself was delightful. A supportive big sis Paris showed up backstage and naturally caused a frenzy. Oh, but before approaching Nicky and the photogs, Paris asked to see a mirror to inspect herself in her red Nicholai dress!
When the chaos died down, I chatted with Nicky, who immediately complimented me on my H&M scarf! Despite giving over a dozen interviews, she remained cheerful and sweet. It looks like designing comes pretty naturally to this — ahem — Hilton. As if things couldn't have gotten any better than meeting Nicky and sitting amongst her family during the show, they did. As we were waiting for the valet to bring our car, Nicky drove right past us in boyfriend David Katzenberg's Range Rover, but not before giving us a smile, a wave . . . and a kiss. Aw!
Congrats on another successful collection, Nicky. How do you feel?
I'm excited, I'm relieved, I'm thrilled. Everything went really well and smoothly so I'm very content.
What was your inspiration behind this collection?
The inspiration this season was equestrian, but I wanted to make it a naughty and nice. It was equestrian meets bondage and S&M, hence the latex leggings, patent leather buckles, and the whip. I wanted it to be sophisticated, tasteful, and edgy at the same time.
To read more of my exclusive interview with Nicky Hilton, and to see more photos, read more
What is your favorite piece from the collection?
I'm a big jacket person so I think all the jackets — the trenches, the little leather jackets, the patent leather jackets, the blazers.
Did you come across any obstacles this season?
I really had a vision and knew what I wanted this season. I knew the hair I wanted, I knew the makeup. I love the riding hat element. I thought it was very fashion forward. It was very easy this time around.
Who are your style icons?
I love Anna Wintour, but who doesn't? She has the best closet in America. Cameron Diaz has a really fun, quirky sense of style.
What are your guilty pleasures?
Celebrity Rehab, Cartier, and jewelry.

The Enduring Eye: a centenary exhibition to celebrate Frank Hurley's photographs of Shackleton's Endurance expedition
The Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) today, 20 November 2014, announces ambitious plans to celebrate the centenary of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-17) led by Sir Ernest Shackleton and better known today as the Endurance expedition.
The Society owns 68 glass plate negatives of the expedition, selected and saved from the ice by Frank Hurley and Sir Ernest Shackleton, and never previously seen by the public. These fragile glass plates, which vividly capture the feelings of men in extreme circumstances, will be used in an innovative new exhibition that tells Shackleton and his team's story of extreme adventure, team spirit, trust, difficult judgements and an audacious plan to sail 800 miles in little more than a rowing boat as the only possible chance of rescue.
Opening on 20 November 2015 to mark the centenary of the crushed Endurance sinking below the sea ice of Antarctica on Sunday 21 November 1915, the exhibition will inspire, engage and inform visitors with UK Antarctic heritage, Shackleton's extraordinary leadership and Hurley's photographic achievements in such uncompromising landscapes.
Curated by Meredith Hooper, the exhibition will also conserve the fragile glass plate negatives, and enable public access, by taking the first digital copies of the plates and making replica plates.
Dr Rita Gardner, Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) Director, said: "The centenary of the Endurance expedition and the evocative images from it provide a unique opportunity to generate a wider understanding and appreciation of the Antarctic legacy of Shackleton and Hurley on photography, science and heritage. We plan to combine technology and theatrical design to produce a public 'Shackleton' exhibition unlike any previously seen."
Camilla Nichol, Chief Executive of the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust, said: "We are delighted to be the headline supporter of this landmark exhibition. It is a unique opportunity to create a legacy which uses state-of-the-art technology to preserve for the future these precious photographic plates. The exhibition will allow a new generation to be inspired by the story of Endurance and to experience for themselves these extraordinary images, which survived against all the odds"
The exhibition is being made possible through the generous support of the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust, the Governments of the British Antarctic Territory and South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands, Rolex and the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851.
The Society is working on plans to tour the exhibition in the UK and beyond.

Cheveley School tell UKAHT about their Penguin Project
The Trust was thrilled to receive photos from the Penguin Project that the pupils of Maple Class, Cheveley CE Primary School, had created as part of their Antarctic lessons this term. As part of our education programme, the Trust was delighted to be able to help the pupils by sending information and some souvenirs to support the programme. We wish them all the best with their ongoing studies.
Please see below for their letter of thanks and photos.
New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust find Antarctic explorer's notebook after a century
A photographer's notebook left behind a century ago at Captain Scott's last expedition base at Cape Evans, Antarctica, has been discovered and conserved by New Zealand's Antarctic Heritage Trust (NZAHT).
NZAHT's conservation specialists found the notebook outside Scott's 1911 Terra Nova base. Each year the summer snow melt around the building causes variations in run off patterns, exposing the notebook for the first time in more than 100 years.
The notebook is a "Wellcome Photographic Exposure Record and Dairy 1910". It belonged to George Murray Levick (1876-1956), surgeon, zoologist and photographer, his name clearly written in the opening pages.
Levick was a part of Scott's 1910-1913 expedition and a member of the Northern Party. The notebook contains his pencil notes detailing the date, subjects and exposure details for the photographs he took during 1911 while at Cape Adare before undergoing a harsh winter in an ice cave on Inexpressible Island.
"It's an exciting find. The notebook is a missing part of the official expedition record. After spending seven years conserving Scott's last expedition building and collection, we are delighted to still be finding new artefacts," said Nigel Watson, NZAHT's Executive Director.
The notebook's binding had been dissolved by 100 years of ice and water damage allowing the pages to be separated and digitised before repair. Close examination reveals links between the notations in the notebook and photographs held by the Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge and attributed to Levick.
Each page of the notebook has been conserved by the NZAHT back in New Zealand before being rebuilt back into sections and sewn back together. The cover has been reconstructed.
The notebook has been returned to Antarctica; one of 11,000 artefacts at Cape Evans.
Background to the conservation process:
George Murray Levick's notebook required specialist conservation treatment. The NZAHT engaged French Paper Conservator Aline Leclercq to undertake the meticulous task of conserving the notebook. This involved separating each individual page, stabilising and cleaning the pages, rebuilding the notebook into sections before sewing the book back together and reconstructing the cover remnants. Conservation treatment provided the opportunity to digitise each page of the notebook. This allows for a more comprehensive study without risking the fragile object.
Levick was a part of Scott's 1910-1913 expedition and a member of the Northern Party. The Northern Party of six men summered (1911-1912) at Cape Adare.

UKAHT hosts special Penguin Post Office screening
UKAHT were delighted to host a special screening of the BBC's Natural World film, Penguin Post Office and an exclusive advance preview of CBBC's 'my life' programme on Friday 10 October at the Arnolfini in Bristol.
The audience were treated to watching the film (originally broadcast on the BBC) on a large screen, which enhanced the spectacular scenery photography at Port Lockroy and also the antics of the resident gentoo penguins.
Port Lockroy and the UKAHT featured throughout the BBC film and it was a delight to see and hear the small team, who are based at Port Lockroy over the austral summer months, meeting and greeting the visiting tourists. The visitors' clear delight at being able to mail a post card from the world's most southerly public post office, purchase souvenirs, visit a museum and stand so close to photograph the small, noisy, smelly and characterful penguins was brilliantly captured.
The CBBC production featured film director and cameraman Andrew Graham-Brown's children, Amy and Daisy, spending a 'day in the life' of their father and also being given the opportunity of working in the Post Office. The whole family celebrated Christmas on board the yacht Palegic, a once in a lifetime experience. If there had been any children in the audience, no doubt there would be some interesting and tricky questions with parents as to why they couldn't easily go there for their holidays as well!
Ruth Peacey, assistant producer, Doug Allen, underwater cameraman, Rachel Morgan, Director UKAHT, and Jane Cooper who was part of the Port Lockroy team that season, took questions from the audience following the film. People were interested in how the idea to film penguins at Port Lockroy was first conceived, as well as the actual experiences the team faced trying to film in such adverse conditions.
Ruth said, "The original idea came from Matt Fletcher from the BBC's Natural History Unit, who had heard about a colony of penguins in Antarctica that lived alongside a British Post Office. The idea evolved as we spoke with Tudor Morgan and the UKAHT.
"That was a few years ago now and it's hard to believe that this amazing journey with the UKAHT has nearly come to an end. We've still got to see the children's programme through to transmission in the New Year though!"
Tudor expressed, "It still brings a tear to my eye watching Penguin Post Office. It has just been the most amazing experience, which has seen the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust thrust into the public domain, offering an insight to not only the wildlife on the tiny island, but an understanding that Base 'A' is an important part of our British heritage.
"This is only the tip of the iceberg. It is still hoped that the Penguin Post Office will be broadcast again over the Christmas period, prior to being released by PBS in the USA. The American version is scheduled for broadcast early in the New Year. BBC Worldwide are also selling Penguin Post Office worldwide, so when you're on your travels and get stuck in a hotel room, you might be lucky enough to see Penguin Post Office again."
The evening came to a close with the guests mingling with amateur film makers, past and future Port Lockroy team members, friends of Antarctica and the UKAHT team over tea and coffee. Everyone agreed that the film was fantastic!
Whilst all the filming was taking place, Tudor, Doug, Andrew and Ruth recorded a five part series for Radio 4, which was broadcast early September. To listen to the five programmes, click here.
The legacy of the BBC Natural Worldwide programme Penguin Post Office is set to continue for years to come.
UK Antarctic Heritage Trust announces the appointment of a Chief Executive
The UK Antarctic Heritage Trust is pleased to announce the appointment of Camilla Nichol as its new Chief Executive. The appointment follows the decision of the Director, Rachel Morgan, to step down after fourteen years with the Trust.
Camilla Nichol joins the Trust from Leeds Museums and Galleries, where she has been Head of Collections since 2008. In Leeds she was responsible for the care, conservation and development of the 1.3 million-strong collections across nine museum sites. Leading on the strategic development of the service she secured in excess of £13m of external funding, including achieving Arts Council England Major Partner Museum status for Leeds. She also was responsible for the award-winning community engagement programme, an innovative digital media department, an active research strategy, as well as strategic partnership development.
Camilla studied Geology at the University of Edinburgh followed by Museum Studies at the University of Leicester. Previously she led the science team at York Museums Trust and worked at the Hunterian Museum at Glasgow University, during which time the first rocks collected on the Antarctic mainland by Carsten Borchgrevink were uncovered in the collection.
"I am delighted to be joining the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust at such an exciting time. Port Lockroy has never been so popular with visitors, plus we are in the middle of the centenary of the heroic age which has inspired so many. I am looking forward to sharing my passion for the Antarctic with a wider public" said Camilla.
"I'm looking forward to working with the Trustees and the team in Cambridge in continuing the Trust's excellent work in preserving this important heritage, as well as developing new and innovative ways for us to reach new audiences with our Antarctic story."
"The Trustees are delighted that Camilla has accepted the role of Chief Executive of the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust," said UKAHT Chairman, Donald Lamont. "Rachel Morgan leaves a unique legacy of achievement: our operation at Port Lockroy is the most visited location in Antarctica and has become known to a wider public through the outstanding "Penguin Post Office" programme on TV. This forms a platform of excellence on which Camilla and our team in Cambridge can now build".
A big thank-you to our sponsor Welch's Transport Ltd
The UKAHT is very lucky to have several incredibly generous sponsors who support our work both in the UK and the Antarctic. Welch's Transport Ltd continue to offer us free warehouse space to store our merchandise throughout the year, as well as allowing us to take over a section of the warehouse for a few months every year as we receive, re-pack and palletise all our goods to go south.
Despite being incredibly busy they are always helpful and friendly, and even take time out to help us move the larger pallets and pack our container. We can honestly say that despite it being hard work, we really enjoy our 'packing season', not least because we feel so welcome at the Welch's warehouse. At the end of this year Welch's will be moving to a new site but have already confirmed that they will continue to provide storage and packing space for us.
The UKAHT would like to reiterate just how grateful we are to Welch's for this continued support, and we are already looking forward to next year's packing season!
Another year and a new team
Port Lockroy - another year and a new team! The 2014/15 Port Lockroy is looking forward to another season south. They will be operating Port Lockroy: welcoming visitors from expedition vessels, carrying out maintenance and running the world's most southerly public post office.
Sarah Auffret, returning for a second year and this season's Base Leader, Stephen Skinner and Amy Kincaid all took part in the training at Girton College in Cambridge this September. Team member Phoebe Boag had to withdraw from the season ahead due to a health issue and we wish her all the best in her recovery. We are extremely fortunate that Liesl Schernthanner was available and ready to join this year's team at short notice and cover Phoebe's place. Liesl has worked for the Trust in previous seasons as part of the conservation team and is very much looking forward to returning to Port Lockroy.
Following three long days of fact-packed intensive training the team are now fully briefed and prepared. Having studied the Antarctic Operations Manual, discussed maintenance tasks, running the shop and post office, penguin counting, risk assessments, island & team living and everything else that is involved in running Port Lockroy the team is finally ready for the Antarctic season. Armed with all this information there is no doubting the excitement and anticipation you can see on each of their faces for what lies ahead.
Flights are now booked, cargo is packed and on its way to Antarctica and cabins on ships secured through generous support from IAATO operators – only a few more weeks until they set off.
Once again, Tog24 and Dickies provided free kit for the team and Jellyegg supplied discounted Crocs. We are very grateful to our generous sponsors and again a huge 'thank you'.
You can expect to read the first blog from the team in Antarctica by the middle of November. Don't forget to follow their progress on the UKAHT website, Facebook and Twitter pages!
Good luck!
(L-R: Sarah Auffret, Liesl Schernthanner, Amy Kincaid, Stephen Skinner)
Seasonal cargo packed and en route to Port Lockroy
We are pleased to announce that the container of seasonal cargo has now been packed and begun its journey to Port Lockroy. For the last few months the UK team has been purchasing merchandise for the shop at Port Lockroy, as well as supplies for the team and the maintenance work they will undertake, before waterproofing and reboxing much of it in preparation for it to be shipped. As you can imagine we were pleased and relieved to get the container packed and sent off, especially as we managed it in record time. The container will now make its way to the Falkland Islands where both the Hurtigruten ship Fram, as well as the National Geographic Explorer, will for another year very generously deliver our cargo to Port Lockroy.
We are immensely grateful to Welch's Transport, who for another year gave us space to work in their warehouse and took the time to pack the container with us despite their busy workload. We would also like to thank Jelly Egg, Dickies and Tog 24, all of whom have provided sponsorship and equipment for the upcoming season.
With the packing now complete we are all looking forward to getting back to the office and concentrating on the Port Lockroy team training next week, as well as on the publication of the next edition of The Antarctic Times and the upcoming members' screening of Penguin Post Office in October.

The ship Phoenix re-enacts the Endurance's departure from Millbay Dock.
Antarctic British Base 'A' star of BBC Natural World Documentary
The Penguin Post Office – Bransfield House (Base 'A') is a little bit of Britain in the heart of Antarctica. Inside the British Base 'A', run by the United Kingdom Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT), the Post Office has everything you'd expect: a postbox, stamps, postcards and four dedicated UKAHT staff. Outside, things are a little bit different, neighbouring the Post Office are 2,000 gentoo penguins. They're here for one reason, to raise a family, but their lives are far from picture postcard - adultery and robbery are rife, as the BBC program makes clear
In October 2013 BBC Natural World with the help of the UKAHT set out to film at Port Lockroy. The program they made, narrated by Juliet Stevenson and filmed and produced by Andrew Graham-Brown, follows the lives of the UKAHT staff and a colony of gentoo penguins as they survive around Bransfield House, a British Antarctic Territory Post Office in the heart of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Every summer the gentoo penguins return to the location of the world's most southerly public Post Office, and it is here the viewers find out that as the penguins nest, they share their home with four newly recruited UKAHT staff, who run the Post Office for visiting tourists, proudly flying the Union flag and cleaning up the penguin mess around the base, we soon learn that there is more to these adorable little penguins than comical waddling. We also take a look around the Post Office and learn about its history in the 1940's and 50's. We meet this year's Base Leader, Helen Annan, and Post Mistresses, Kristy Leissle and Jane Cooper, who were living alongside the penguins for the austral summer. They, and some of the visitors to the island, share their thoughts direct to camera on these special animals and what they are writing on their postcards home.
As Helen Annan Base Leader said "it's a dream job and like the penguins I would like to come back here ever year".
Base Leader - Helen Annan
Helen was Base-Leader at Port Lockroy in the 2013/14 season. She travelled down ahead of the other Post Office workers, with the Penguin Post Office film crew to get everything set up and organised. Helen spent a season working at Port Lockroy in 2007/8 and loved it so much she returned again! Helen is from the UK and, until last year, worked in the youth hostel industry. She is currently living in Perthshire.
Sarah Auffret

UKAHT's 2015 Special edition 'Penguin Post Office' calendar on sale now!
2015 Special edition 'Penguin Post Office' calendar featuring photographs of gentoo penguins taken at Port Lockroy by UKAHT and printed in the UK
Penguin Post Office
Last season THIRTEEN's Nature and BBC Natural World commissioned a production that would capture the breeding cycle of Port Lockroy's gentoo penguins. Their daily trials and tribulations unfold as cruise ships come and go, bringing tourists to buy postcards, visit the museum and of course photograph the penguins.
Running concurrently are two further BBC productions: BBC Radio 4 'Penguin Post Office', recorded by the film crew team, and CBBC's 'My Life' featuring director and cameraman Andrew Graham-Brown's children.
Port Lockroy Post Office and museum sits on tiny Goudier Island in Antarctica. Established in February 1944 the research station remained permanently occupied until 1962. In 1996 Port Lockroy was restored to its original condition and is now open to visitors during the Antarctic summer. Each year the Trust recruits a team of four talented and enthusiastic staff to work at Port Lockroy for the season, promoting the legacy of British scientists' early work. The gentoo penguins arrived on Goudier Island in 1985.

Phoenix Suns
Updated Jun 27, 2013 - 3:33 pm
Rumor: Phoenix Suns looking to trade up to top pick, draft Nerlens Noel
Until the NBA Draft is over, rumors will continue to swirl.
The latest comes from ESPN NBA insider Chad Ford, and it's a doozy for the Phoenix Suns.
Hearing Suns are offering Cavs 5 & 30 for 1. Not yet known how Cavs view the offer. Suns after Noel.
— Chad Ford (@chadfordinsider) June 27, 2013
Interestingly the Suns were never reported to have brought Noel in for a visit, and with the center coming off a torn ACL his status for the 2013-14 season is very much up in the air.
However, he is regarded to be possibly the best player in this draft, and when healthy is expected to be an excellent defender in the NBA.

Chad Lewis, other NFL figures to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with wounded vets
CEDAR HILLS — In a few days, Chad Lewis will find himself on the African desert plains, the famed Serengeti of Tanzania. He'll then be on the trail to the summit of Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain on the continent and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world.
He'll be alongside wounded veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq, helping the NFL shine a light on servicemen who made huge sacrifices for freedom.
It's not the summer the former
Philadelphia Eagle all-pro tight end planned before taking a phone call from NFL headquarters just over a month ago. But when you are an official ambassador of the NFL and have been sent to the far corners of the planet, you go.
Lewis is currently working in fundraising and development for BYU's athletic department. When he told his boss, athletic director Tom Holmoe. about the NFL's request, he couched it like, "I don't think I can be gone that long from work, so I'm thinking of turning it down."
Holmoe responded, "Who are you kidding? This is the chance of a lifetime.
Lewis will be joined by two other NFL alums, Tedy Bruschi and former Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher. They'll all meet Monday in New York City, where they'll visit Ground Zero where the Twin Towers toppled and ride on the New York Fire Department's boat No. 433, named after the 433 firefighters who died on Sept. 11 in the World Trade Center tragedy.
The servicemen who are part of the party of 12 include Bryan Wagner of Exeter, Calif., and Ben Lunak of Grand Forks, N.D., who each lost a leg; Mike Wilson of Annapolis, Md., who struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder and a traumatic brain injury, and Nancy Schiliro of Hartsdale, N.Y., who lost an eye.
"I could think of no greater cause than to honor these warriors who made sacrifices in service of our country," said Lewis, who will leave his wife Michelle with the eight kids while he goes up Kilimanjaro — a 10-day journey, seven on the trail.
A warning to the other 11 hikers: Lewis is capable of literally talking you up to the summit. Expect the most enthusiastic approach to life you'll ever encounter. Lewis sweats positive molecules.
For a decade, Lewis has represented the NFL on tours of China, Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Taiwan.
As an ambassador, Lewis is a natural. He speaks a language of happiness, enthusiasm and faith. I once wrote he could talk a light pole into switching on.
I asked Lewis what he knew of the famous Kilimanjaro. He immediately spouted off data like 22,000 attempt to climb to the summit every year and only 11,000 succeed. He cited the challenge of the 19,300-foot challenge and how it doesn't require supplemental oxygen like Mount Everest, but it requires a slow ascent to get acclimated to the heights on a daily basis.
"Of those who fail, it is because of the altitude."
It's a slow ascent.
"One of the servicemen has a titanium leg," said Lewis. "I can't wait to meet all of them."
Lewis has spent extensive time training since he got the call. He's put on his hiking boots and jogged up mountain hillsides. He's done it all outdoors, pushing himself and his body for the work ahead. He hiked two mountains in Las Vegas during the MWC basketball tournament. He went up Turtle Head Mountain with his wife and son Jake. He's hiked in snowshoes, run up the hills in Cedar Hills, tried to do 4 to 6 miles every morning for a month. He's done night work, knowing that near the summit, hiking will start at 2 a.m. with headlamps on heads, the start of a 17-hour day.

Update (9:40 a.m.): Updated with Monday market open information.
The stock was down 0.16% to $79.89 at 9:40 a.m. on Monday.
Must Read: 5 Stocks Advancing The Diversified Services Industry
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates MOODY'S CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate MOODY'S CORP (MCO) a BUY. This is driven by a few notable strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, notable return on equity, reasonable valuation levels, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 61.65% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, MCO should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- MCO's revenue growth trails the industry average of 13.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.5%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Diversified Financial Services industry and the overall market, MOODY'S CORP's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for MOODY'S CORP is currently very high, coming in at 71.16%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 26.06% significantly outperformed against the industry average.

A BMW Driving Academy event was recently held at the famous Autodromo Nazionale Monza (Monza Track) which is located near the town of Monza, north of Milan, in Italy. The circuit's biggest event is the Formula One Italian Grand Prix, but a fleet of BMWs recently took over the track for the BMW Driving Academy.
Available for the driving experience at the academy were many F30 3 series (with E90/E92 3 series for comparison), the F10 M5, the F12 M6 convertible, M550d xDrive 5 Series sedan, X5 … CONTINUED
The 2012 BMW M Power Experience is coming October 7th and this year's event will take place in Abu Dhabi, where the program will be principally held at the Yas Marina Formula 1 race track! Last year's M Power Experience in Spain (report 1, report 2) focused on the F10 M5, and this year's Abu Dhabi event will feature the new M6 coupe and M6 convertible.

As announced yesterday, BMW's N20, N54, S65, N18 engines have each picked a best engine award at the 2012 International Engine of the Year Awards [Full Award Results].
Here's a brief overview of two of the technologies featured in most of the BMW engines available today – TwinPower Turbo and VALVETRONIC (variable valve timing) technology. Valvetronic was first introduced by BMW on the 316ti compact in 2001, and has since often been coupled with BMW's double-VANOS.
Until 2012, no M model used Valvetronic, but instead continued to feature … CONTINUED
The 2013 M6 Coupe (F13) is not on the market yet, but has already received an upgrade in the form of enhanced aerodynamics, now with a standard trunk lip spoiler. The trunk lip spoiler hasn't been seen on any photos or auto show debut cars, but here are the first photos.
The 2013 M6 coupe begins production next month (July) and will begin deliveries in September.
M5 and M6 owners-to-be will have to wait just a bit longer for upgraded stopping power.
We have confirmed with BMW that the M Carbon Ceramic Brake system originally set for availability beginning with the 2013 Model Year M5 and M6 (starting July production), has been delayed until sometime in calendar year 2013.
There's no indication yet of when exactly in 2013 it will become available, and the new availability date applies not just to North America, but in all markets worldwide.
BMWNA M Brand Manager, Matt Russell, gives a rundown of the highlights of the new 2012 M6 convertible (F12) and 2013 M6 coupe (F13), as well as the fuller context of the history of the M Division and M automobiles.
The 2012 M6 Convertible (F12) is making its European debut at the 2012 AMI show which opens to the public this weekend in Leipzig. The model shown here features San Marino Blue exterior with Silverstone Merino interior.
Our recent M6 Convertible Test Drive Review and more M6 images and details can be found at http://www.6post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=695346
BMW had a 40 Years of M display for all to see at the Ringwerk during the 24 Hours Nurburgring race weekend. On display was a gorgeous Moonstone Metallic Individual F10 M5 (with Champagne Merino Individual itnerior) and Citrin Black Individual F12 M6 convertible, along with X5M / X6M, an M3, and an M1.
The 24 Hours Nurburgring race was run last week and we bring you our photo coverage (by moderator Dackelone) from the event, showing the various sights and experiences to be had at the weekend long event, which is also a party and celebration in addition to the actual race.
Many M Flight members had the opportunity to attend the 2012 M Festival at the Nurburgring during the 24hr Race (18-20 May 2012), which celebrated BMW M's 40th anniversary.
The first day started out for the group at Pentagon Car Sales in Ramstein-Miesenbach, which they set out from for the Nurburgring. Upon arriving at the Ring, all members parked their Ms in the M Parking Garage. The M Shuttle then brought the group to the M Gallery where they were received by Brian Watts (BMW … CONTINUED
The 2012 M6 convertible (F12) is big, it's heavy, and it's for showing off. But, courtesy of the usual magic from BMW M GmbH, it does not feel as big, heavy, or just for showing off. What it is is a super high performing GT convertible and a hell of a looker.
We spent two days this week in Santa Barbara, California to check out and test drive the all new 2012 BMW M6 and 6 Series Gran Coupe (see our previous review). After over 100 miles … CONTINUED

BMW enthusiasts and tuners gathered for the 2012 Bimmerfest event yesterday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA.
Some early photos from the 2012 M Festival at the 24 Hours Nurburgring race. The MotoGP M6 safety car was revealed at the event, where it led the M Corso parade. The F13 M6 coupe was shown at M Night.
"A company is like a human being. As long as it goes in for sports, it is fit, well-trained, full of enthusiasm and performance." These were the words of Robert A. Lutz, BMW AG Board Member Sales, back in 1972. They were the words christening the youngest subsidiary of BMW AG at the time, BMW Motorsport GmbH. Today the company is called BMW M GmbH. But it is just as fit, well-trained, full of enthusiasm and performance as it was 40 years ago.
The early 1970s were … CONTINUED

Lt. Gov: Corren seeking Dems' nominationMONTPELIER Progressive Dean Corren, who has launched a bid to unseat Republican Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, says he will seek the Democratic Partys nomination this month.
Corren has already secured public financing for his campaign, which ensures he will have $200,000 to spend on his effort to unseat Scott, who has yet to spend more than $200,000 in his two previous statewide campaigns.
Securing support from the Democratic Party would boost the campaign even more, Corren said.
I am contacting as many Democrats as I can, he said. Theres a focus on the Democratic party; they have a state committee meeting coming up.
Corren said he has been invited by Dottie Deans, chairwoman of the Vermont Democratic Party, to speak to the state committee at its next meeting July 26. In the meantime, Corren plans to continue reaching out to Democrats across the state to make his case.
I am going to make a very strong case, I think, to the Democratic Party that I should be their candidate, he said. The main thing Im doing is personally calling as many Democrats as I can ... Ill certainly be visiting with some personally.
Democratic Party spokesman Ben Sarle said officials expect Corren to attend the July 26 meeting. There will be no endorsement at that time, however.
The party must wait to see if Corren wins the Democratic primary in August by receiving enough write-in votes. That could be possible since Democrat John Bauer dropped out of the race June 12 after failing to secure public financing.
There wont be a vote and hell come seek our endorsement after, and if, he gets the Democratic nomination after primary day, Sarle said. We will only endorse him if he gets the nomination.
The partys bylaws disallow an endorsement any other way, he said.
Corren said he respects the partys rules. Thats perfectly fine. Thats a good process, he said.
Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin offered a surprising early endorsement of Corren late last month in response to a question from a reporter. Shumlin praised Correns support of a single payer health care plan in Vermont.
The endorsement from Shumlin, Corren said, should help him attract the support of other Democrats.
I personally think its very big. I personally feel very, very good about getting his endorsement, Corren said. I wouldnt have even thought to ask for it so early. I would have [thought to ask] eventually, and Im thrilled to get it.
Shumlins support of Corren has spurred some centrist Democrats that support the moderate Scott to rally on the lieutenant governors behalf, including Sen. Dick Mazza, D-Grand Isle.
After Gov. Shumlin endorsed Dean Corren, the progressive, I received a number of calls from Democrats who have asked if theres anything they can do to help me, Scott said. Sen. Mazza was one of the first ones that called me.
Scott said he is not aware of any effort by supporters to organize a write-in campaign on the Democratic primary ballot on his behalf. But, Scott said there is an effort to reach out to Democrats and independents for their support in the general election.
Its not to keep Dean Corren from seeking the nomination, its more of an effort to get like-minded, moderate or conservative Democrats who have supported me in the past, Scott said.
Im more concerned about the general election and what happens sometimes in the primaries is of little consequence, he added. Im after support, whether it be from Democrats or independents. I realize that there arent enough Republicans for me to win an election.
Scott said he is not sure how significant an endorsement for Corren by the Democratic Party would be.
Scott added, Certainly, there are some that will vote for a letter, so to speak, but I think if I can get to enough people and we have discussions and campaign vigorously and people get to know me, Im confident that I can get enough support to get elected. Does it hurt? Maybe a little.
