This study on the characteristics of fouling communities in offshore areas south of Hainan Island, northern South China Sea, was conducted at four sites there. At each station, test panels on iron frames were hung on the mooring system at different depths. Data on biofouling were mainly obtained by examination of the fouled test panels. Organisms attached to buoys and anchors were scraped off and examined also. The results showed that the thickness and biomass of marine growth that increased the fluid loading on offshore installations depended to a large extent on hard foulers, i. e. mollusks and acorn barnacles. Algae, hydroids, stalked barnacles and bryozoans were important fouling species. The occurrence frequency and biomass of acorn barnacles decreased with increasing distance from the shore.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Kentucky construction magnate Leonard Lawson is on trial this week in Lexington federal court for allegedly bribing the state's Transportation secretary during the past decade to win big highway and road projects. But that didn't stop Lawson family companies from winning $24-million dollars in federal Recovery Act contracts!
Though Leonard Lawson pled not guilty, companies with ties to Lawson should have been suspended from bidding for stimulus work within 45 days of his indictment on bribery, theft and obstruction of justice charges, according to a Department of Transportation rule. But, it took the Transportation Department 10-months to act -- after the Lawson firms had won the contracts.
"I really think that's a shame and a disgrace," said Rep. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee. "When people see folks getting away and getting contracts even after they've been indicted, that to me does not help in terms of us to get rid of waste fraud and abuse."
Such slow action in suspending or debarring bidders as Washington is quickly doling out billions in Recovery Act dollars creates "a 'perfect storm' for contractors intent on defrauding the government," warns the Department of Transportation's Office of Inspector General in an audit released earlier this month.
"Change is underway," responded Assistant Transportation Secretary Linda Washington in a memo to the DOT Office of Inspector General, "to expedite the handling of suspension and debarment cases."
(The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet told CNN it ensures, "no federally funded contract is awarded to anyone on the list of those barred by the Federal Highway Administration.")
Already, federal investigators are finding evidence of bid rigging in Recovery Act contracts for the Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration, CNN has learned. Prosecutors are examining cases where contractors appear to have been colluding with each other to win road improvement jobs - repaving and expanding streets and highways.
No criminal charges have been filed yet. But, the Department of Transportation Inspector General has 25 criminal investigations underway, a dozen of which have been referred to the Department of Justice for prosecution, said people with knowledge of the cases.
Other potential fraud that is appearing involves what the government calls "Disadvantaged Business Enterprise" fraud: companies owned by minorities or women winning contracts, then, after taking a cut, passing the work and most of the funding to a non-qualified contractor.
"The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise acts like a shell," said a person familiar with the investigations.
Inspectors general at all federal departments and agencies are aggressively searching for stimulus fraud, certain that corruption will infect Recovery Act spending.
"Fraud will occur," said Wayne McElrath, Environmental Protection Agency acting assistant inspector general. "Typically we see false statements, false claims, briberies, gratuities, conflict of interest, anti-trust violations."
The Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board (called the RAT Board within federal Government circles), in charge of Recovery Act oversight, counts 470 audits, 106 active investigations and 25 cases accepted for prosecutorial review, as of November 30, the latest available data.
And government monitors say they're only just beginning.
"There are lots of eyes watching this money," said one investigator.
In fact, 55,000 people at all levels of government and in the private sector have received training in administering Recovery Act funds, according to the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board. Many of those are being trained in fraud detection because the Board anticipates corrupt contractors will view Recovery Act funds as a potential goldmine.

So I ordered a set 2 10" because they were a really good price for two. Im running a p5002 Rockford amp. They are in a vented box and they sound decent. They just don't seem to hit the notes i wanted to hear like my last set i had (same series just the 2010 model.) or it could be my box is not sealed the best. but what can i say they do deliver nice clean thumps. they distort a bit when they are on the heavy bass notes. I am happy till i upgrade to the type-r setup! You guys also have great customer service.

Eskom Probed by South African Government on Environmental Rules
Nov. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. is being investigated over what the South African government says are breaches in environmental rules by the state power utility.
"We have started investigations into certain individuals at Eskom," Frances Craigie, a director of enforcement at the Department of Environmental Affairs, said by telephone from Pretoria. In one example, Eskom's Camden power station east of Johannesburg broke air and water pollution guidelines, she said.
The department will investigate possible criminality by some Eskom employees, Craigie said, declining to elaborate.
Many issues at Camden have been fixed and others need to be addressed through longer term projects, Hilary Joffe, an Eskom spokeswoman, said today by e-mail. The company has yet to review an enforcement report released by the department, she said.
Eskom, which generates 95 percent of the electricity used in Africa's biggest economy, is spending about 500 billion rand ($56 billion) through 2017 to revive old plants and build new ones to overcome a shortage in capacity. The company increased tariffs by an average 25 percent in each of the past six years.

Kim Nelson said she plans to finish her term on the Roane County Board of Education. She was elected circuit court clerk earlier this month, and will take office on Sept. 1. Nelson was elected to the school board in 2008. She has two years remaining on a four-year term. "If it comes out that I can't stay on, then I'll have to give it up, but I want to try to finish my term," she said. Angela Randolph, the current clerk, did not seek re-election. Nelson defeated Mona Gardner Wright and Bob Alford for the position.
We're sure to have some new officials after Election Day, as well as some incumbents. We hope these people will stand by their promises of better, more responsive government, but our role as citizens doesn't end at the ballot box. We must put forth the effort to let our officials know what our priorities are before we criticize. We must make an effort to keep up with the issues in our community, and it never hurts to attend a government meeting or two, just to get an idea of what goes on. Democracy is a two-way street.
The state of Tennessee is planning on increasing its scrutiny of health insurance rate hikes. It is getting a $1 million U.S. Health and Human Resources grant to aid the effort. On the whole, we think this can be money well spent. So do a number of consumer-advocate groups, including the Tennessee Health Care Campaign. Until recently, rate-hike proposals on group policies in Tennessee didn't have to be submitted to a state agency for approval.
This is a difficult time of transition for people in public office. The elections are over, and those who failed in their bids for re-election are still in office until September. It has to be tough. But despite the outcome of the elections, we believe these officials should hold their heads up for the work they have done for the community. We know each and every one of them have contributed in the community in some way. They have attended meetings and attempted to sort out the complex business of running a county in many important ways.
Picking up a win at Harriman Middle School is never an easy thing to do, but that's just what the Oliver Springs Bobcats did Thursday night as Larry Green's squad picked up a 20-6 victory over the Blue Devils in the season opener for both teams.
The Cherokee Middle School Yellow Jackets turned in a dominating 40-0 victory over the Norwood Jaguars Thursday night.
The Rockwood Middle School Tigers opened the 2010 season with a rousing 42-8 win over Midway Thursday night in Rockwood.
A lot of colorful linguistic hybrids — portanteaus, if we must get technical about these accordion phrases — have emerged in recent times. Some that have been difficult to escape are:
• Staycation: Vacationing close to home because travel is expensive in tough economic times.
• Frenemy: A friend, partner or ally who is also a competitor or rival.
• Brangelina: I don't even want to go there on this one.
I came across a new hybrid recently that I have readily embraced: civilogue.
A Rockwood man is scheduled to appear in Roane County General Sessions Court next month on bomb-making charges.
Brian Bashaw, 45, was arrested on Aug. 8 after police went to his home at 324 S. Chamberlain Ave. to serve him with a vandalism warrant.
There, police said, they discovered five pipe bombs.

High-potential women advance more slowly than their male peers, in terms of both career progression and pay, even though they employ career management strategies similar to men's. Organizations that neglect this critical talent-management issue risk lagging their competitors in attracting, developing, and retaining the best candidates to serve as the next generation of leaders.

dc.description.abstract | Progeria is a genetic aging disease of childhood affecting an estimated one in four to eight million births. Children with progeria experience a range of developmental disorders and aging-like symptoms, including wrinkled and discolored skin, stunted growth, visible veins, fat loss, hair loss, bone loss, joint contractures, and heart disease. Their average life expectancy is thirteen. There is currently no treatment or cure. The disease arises from a single nucleotide mutation in the LMNA gene, which makes proteins called lamins that comprise the inner lining of the nuclear wall. The mutation leads to the production of a misshapen lamin called progerin that builds up with time, disrupting nuclear shape and function. It is not yet clear how these changes lead to the disease's symptoms. Doctors probe potential treatments while researchers explore progeria's potential links to far more widespread health problems such as aging, heart disease, and laminopathies. Experts debate the extent to which progeria represents normal human aging on overdrive. It is seen as a segmental aging disorder, sharing only some symptoms with aging. Progeria may reveal insights into basic biological phenomena such as gene expression, DNA regulation, RNA splicing, protein processing, cellular aging, and stem cell differentiation. Instrumental to the discovery of the progeria gene and the growth of scientific interest since 2002 has been The Progeria Research Foundation. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | (cont.) The story of its creation when Sam Berns, son of doctors Leslie Gordon and Scott Berns, was diagnosed with progeria in 1998, is also the story of the birth of modern progeria research in the U.S. Research highlighted in this thesis includes progeria's cardiovascular complications in transgenic mice; the discovery that progeria's symptoms can be reversed; clinical trials testing farnesyltransferase inhibitors or FTIs, statins and bisphosphonates, and all three together; the search for a cure; and the presence of progerin in the skin cells of healthy people. | en_US |

"Charlie Finley takes a commendably even-handed approach to its volatile subject."—Wall Street Journal
"One of the most promising sports titles on the horizon."—Wall Street Journal
"[A] marvelous new biography of Finley…Green and Launius have brought an American Original back from the grave."—Timothy M. Gay, author of Satch, Dizzy & Rapid Robert: The Wild Saga of Interracial Baseball Before Jackie Robinson
The authors capture not only the enmity Finley engendered everywhere he traveled in the baseball world—including his own clubhouse—but also Finley's valiant efforts to keep his team alive in the face of a tough Oakland market and exploding free agency. A good complement to the just-published Reggie Jackson."—Booklist
"Charlie Finley finally gets the recognition--and the well-researched biography--that he deserves. This book bursts with fresh material, vibrant characters, and important historical insight. It's a flat-out winner."—Jonathan Eig
"I can't imagine that anyone could have done a better job describing the life of Charlie Finley than Michael Green and Roger Launius. The book was wonderfully written and superbly researched. Finley may have been a bad guy, but his impact on the game of baseball was enormous."—Peter Golenbock, author of The Bronx Zoo and Red Sox Nation
"An insightful, often rollicking, look at one of baseball's true kingpins."
—Tim Wendel, author of High Heat: The Secret History of the Fastball and the Improbable Search for the Fastest Pitcher of All Time
"NASA senior planner Green and Smithsonian Air and Space Museum senior curator Launius do a creditable job pinning down both the mundane and the extraterrestrial aspects of Charles Oscar Finley's remarkable rise….Most readers will agree with the authors' final assessment that Finley was an innovative, infuriating jackass whose braying was sometimes sensible, even wise."—Kirkus

Engineering Perfection Ed from Brownfield, Texas– Verified Buyer The engineer that designed this cart should get a raise. It's the least amount of trouble to assemble possible and the instructions are well defined. I was worried about the weight bearing capability (that was not addressed in the ad) as I wanted to put a beverage cooler that when loaded would weigh approx. 160 - 170 lbs. To my delight, it is stated at 200 lbs. I put the beverage cooler on it and loaded it to the max., I then, fully loaded all trays on the doors with bottled water, jars of dips for chips, and 2 half gallons each of V8 and Orange juice. "As sure as there is a cow in Texas" those doors "glide" open and shut without any sagging or squeaking and the entire unit stands proud with no show of strain!!! |
Great product!! Donna from Katy, TX– Verified Buyer Needed extra storage for our company kitchen this is perfect. Put our microwave on top and plenty of storage in cabinet. Looks good too. |

The Enchanted Cave 2
Delve into a strange cave with a seemingly endless supply of treasure, strategically choos
4.31 / 5.00 30,048 ViewsGhostbusters B.I.P.
COMPLETE edition of the interactive "choose next panel" comic
4.05 / 5.00 9,148 Views* For all of the frustrated ones: there's a video walkthrough thread at We Create Stuff > Portal: TFV's forum, and some community help. Good luck :)
We started working on this project a couple of months ago, and now, it is finally done. Lately we've been working on this project none stop, acknowledging if we release it after the real Portal - we fail, and our test will be terminated ( ;). So yes, the last piece of code of this game was programed just a couple of minutes ago. Don't worry - those minutes were on bugs!
Portal: The Flash Version includes over 40 challenging, portals thinking levels, which features almost every feature the real game does, in 2d - energy balls, cubes, turrets and even the famous crusher from the trailer. The game also includes a console to mess around with after finishing the game, or just being frustrated by thinking with portals (Commands are posted in our forums)
Left mouse button - launch a portal.
A W D - movement
Q - launch a blue portal.
E - launch a yellow portal.
R - Close both portals.
F - pick up an object.
~ - open up console (enable through the options)
O - quick quality adjust.
Esc/P - pause game.
Version history:
The game really is heavy on levels 30 and up. We did our best to optimize it, but if you still have a low frame rate simply change your quality and effect settings.
If you find any bugs, please report.
Simply Amazing
Although lacking a boss fight that was pretty close to the original. I like how you took advantage of the 2D element of the game to create unique puzzles. If you ever get the chance to make another with more levels it would be awesome. Once again great game.
I am now even eager to play Portal! This game was amazing, pure and simple.
Just one bug to report, there were certain times (I don't really remember when, sorry) where the cubes would glitch through walls. I think it only happened twice, but still.
Best. Flash. Game. Ever.
Now after finally playing the real game...
I can safely say this accurately represents the original gameplay created by valve. That in it of itself is probably the biggest compliment I can give you.
Very nice game. Smooth game play and easy controls make it fun. I like the infinite falling thing, but it doesn't get too fast.
Awsome game
This is pobably the best flash game I've ever played. Close to being as good as the real Portal. This is one game I actually played all the way through and wasn't bored. Great game.

Michael Douglas Joins Marvel's 'Ant-Man'
Edgar Wright is directing the movie.
Michael Douglas is doing his first comic book movie.
The 69-year-old actor, who yesterday won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Liberace in HBO's Behind the Candelabra, will play opposite Paul Rudd in Marvel Studios' Ant-Man.
STORY: Marvel Finds Its 'Ant-Man' in Paul Rudd
Douglas will play scientist Hank Pym in the Edgar Wright-helmed film, set to be released on July 31, 2015.
"With Hank Pym's rich history in the Marvel Universe, we knew we needed an actor capable of bringing the weight and stature to the role that the character deserves," said Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige on the company's website, Marvel.com. "We felt incredibly relieved when Michael Douglas agreed to step in to the part with the charm and fortitude he brings to every character he inhabits, and couldn't be more excited to see what he will do to bring Hank Pym to life."

The casting clears up who Rudd will play in the movie since Ant-Man has been the alter ego of both Pym, a scientist who discovers particles that allow a person to change size, and Scott Lang, a reformed thief who steals the technology in order to save his ill daughter. Marvel has been tight-lipped in regards to which story its movie was focusing on until this latest casting revelation, in which the studio also confirmed that leading man Rudd will portray Lang.

Bonnie G #2's Note:
I've gone through all the flourless cake recipes to try to find this one but it's just enough different that I felt I needed to post it separate. I received this in the mail from King Arthur's and couldn't wait to make it. It's simple, only a few ingredients and the results are a chewy, chocolaty delight. Very rich, sweet and more like a brownie and a little goes a long way. It looks elegant and a great desert for company and has the added benefit of tasting even better the next day. Using the microwave makes this go together quick and easy. I've just guessed at the serving size as it's so rich you can only eat very small slices at a time. So for chocolate lovers everywhere, here's to us!!

I love making snacks. My wife hosts a monthly book club that meets on the final Friday of every month (FYI, the book this month was "Jane Eyre"). We have a blast sitting around with friends, talking. I loved it this time especially because it gave me an opportunity to produce copious amounts of snacks. I whipped up some whole wheat orange & lemon poppy seed muffins! I was worried about losing the orange flavor in these, but they turned out great. My trick is to zest the oranges and the lemon, and to smash the whole peeled oranges in your fist, and add both their juice and their pulp. When you bite into the muffins, occasionally you'll get a small chunk of orange. This was probably the most exciting thing in the day for me. I made my first batch of almond butter! For this batch, I roasted them with brown rice syrup (my first time working with it – market special at the store), My blender wasn't happy with me (we don't own a food processor YET). However, I have to say that the flavor turned out quite good. *drum roll* Finally, we set out some pita chips with two different kinds of homemade hummus: Rum apple , and black bean . It was an epic night. We sat up and talked until about 11:30. It was a lot of fun to do that on a Friday night. Unfortunately, Michelle and I realized in the late hours that we hadn't done our workout yet (we're doing Turbofire, currently). So did we skip it? Heck no. We won the day, big time! How did you win the day, today? |

The ammonia and GABAergic neurotransmission hypotheses of the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) have appeared to be unrelated and perhaps mutually exclusive. Observations in animal models of fulminant hepatic failure, that are consistent with increased GABAergic inhibitory neurotransmission contributing to the manifestations of HE, include: (i) abnormal visual evoked potential waveforms that resemble those induced by GABAA/benzodiazepine (BZ) receptor complex agonists; (ii) GABAA/BZ receptor complex antagonist-induced ameliorations of encephalopathy; (iii) increased resistance to drugs which decrease GABAergic tone; and (iv) hypersensitivity of CNS neurons to depression by GABAA/BZ receptor complex agonists. Mechanisms of increased GABAergic tone in HE may include the following: (i) increased brain concentrations of natural BZs; and (ii) increased GABA concentrations in synaptic clefts, possibly due to increased blood-brain-barrier permeability to GABA and a decrease in GABAB receptor density. Both neuroelectrophysiological and behavioral data indicate that ammonia concentrations in the range 0.75-2 mM induce increased excitatory neurotransmission. In contrast, recently, ammonia concentrations in the range 0.15-0.75 mM, i.e. concentrations that commonly occur in plasma in precoma HE, have been shown: (i) to increase GABA-induced chloride current in cultured neurons; and (ii) to enhance synergistically the binding of GABAA/BZ receptor agonists. In addition, increased ammonia concentrations enhance synthesis of neurosteroids in astrocytes, and some neurosteroids potently augment GABAergic neurotransmission. Thus, the modestly elevated concentrations of ammonia, that commonly occur in liver failure, may contribute to the manifestations of HE by enhancing GABAergic inhibitory neurotransmission. This concept appears to unify the ammonia and GABAergic neurotransmission hypotheses.

"Best narrator"
Best narrator I can ever remember listening too. His voices of the characters makes them come alive and you believe they really exist and have real lives. The subject matter may be hard for some. It is gritty novel of perversion in Thailand. For those of us who have spent some time in Asia, we can relate to third world societies, corruption and poverty all condoned by the ruling elite. I will definitely be reading the sequels.
"reads like a novel"
This is a great story about men at war in Afghan.
The combat scenes are outstanding.
A great reader who makes you feel like you are there.
The whole story was moving for me.
Connelly-yes. McConnohie-No.
Good. Typical Bosch detective story ending.
Dick Hill or Len Cariou.
Yes and no. Story was Ok and probably was very good but the narrator ruined a much anticipated listen. Narrator's innotation was like listening to someone read a cook book. His characters were less than inspiring. A Bosch novel needs a certain noir feeling and this guy couldn't do it.
If you are a Bosch fan, I suppose you will listen to it but don't expect much.
"wonderfully entertaining"
I have now finished 4 of the Bloody Jack series and cannot put them down. Even tho they are intended for young adults, they are so entertaining and imaginable to keep even this 64 year old engaged. Sheer fun. Never a dull moment. The narrator is great, too.
"Say its not so"
I give this a better review than the others. I have gotton to feel I know Easy thru the years and the view of a black man makes it all the more interesting. This series is an easy read and fun to just go with the flow of the characters and events.
"Absolutely the Best"
Absolutely one of the best fiction war novels I have ever read. Outstanding narration. A page turner that will keep you up at nite or sitting in the car listening well after you get home. Gripping and compelling story full of action and angst. The story of a Marine Company in Vietnam coming to grips with the social conflicts of the time and death in a grossly mishandled war by inept political leadership from President Lyndon Johnson. I know. I was there. I was somewhat disappointed by the ending, not that the ending was bad but just not realistic. As an Army Officer of 21 years (without giving anything away), I believe an investigation and charges would have been filed immediately.
"Truely unbelievable"
It has always amazed me at the creulty humans inflict on each other and how the human body and mind can endure, survive and conquer. A truely unbeliveable story of war and survival. Another similiar book, I recommend, if you like these kind of stories is "Tears in the Darkness". I have a short review there, also.
"a real page turner"
Original story. Very intense. Narrator was excellent. Could not discern a moral but will be reading part 2 to see what happens next.
"sad and mad"
This was a sometimes depressing read that made me angry. My Mom had a high school boyfriend who survived the Japanese death camps and he was never the same again. She hates the Japanese to this very day. Maybe it isn't a good idea to hate anymore but we should never forget.
"reader not up to it"
A good Bosch novel but could only give it 3 stars because the reader could not do the voices or the semi dark and gritty nature of the series.

GOSHEN, Utah County — From its mid-19th century roots as a Mormon agricultural settlement, this small town of fewer than 1,000 residents was known by names such as Sandtown, Mechanicsville and even Sodom before officially christened with the Biblical-like designation of Goshen.
And now, two miles south of Goshen proper, the LDS Motion Picture Studio is developing some 830 acres — a square-mile area – into a parcel of the ancient Holy Land that includes replicas of parts of old Jerusalem, Bethlehem and other New Testament-period places.
It's all for a movie studio set as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints embarks on an ambitious multi-purpose film
venture it calls "The New Testament" project, re-creating New Testament sights, sounds and stories.
The result will be some 30-plus video vignettes, providing new material for myriad church uses — seminary and institute films, missionary videos, visitor center exhibits and stock footage for general conference and online clips for its Mormon Messages features on Facebook and YouTube.
"This is being done to create a scriptural video library for the church" said Elder Lynn G. Robbins of the LDS Church's First Quorum of Seventy and executive director of the Audiovisual Department.
Officials originally scoured church properties from Logan to St. George, looking for locales that were not flat, not rocky and not strewn with sagebrush.
The Goshen property was all that and more, with features that could double as plains or rolling hills and even boasting some sand dunes and a stream that with some work might resemble the River Jordan.
"We took a look, drove around, and our jaws just dropped," said project executive producer John Uibel, who is also the director of the A/V department's creative and story division. "We couldn't even find a rock bigger than a marble on that property."
Elder Robbins agreed: "It has just about all the topography we would want — it's almost a match made in heaven."
Goshen resident Verna Van Ausdal is well acquainted with the property, which was owned and operated by several generations of her Finch family — first by her grandfather in the late 1800s, followed by her father and then a brother before it was sold to the church in recent years.
Used first to graze sheep and later to raise cattle and grains, the property mirrors the area's hilly, sandy environs. "And, no, there's no rocks in Goshen," Van Ausdal laughed. "We have to haul them in if we want them."
About all the Goshen property lacks is a large body of water — a la the Sea of Galilee. No problem, says Uibel, since the current shooting plans don't call for it.
Whatever else is lacking — be it palm trees or full-blown buildings like Jerusalem's temple at the time — can be added digitally. Uibel anticipates digital enhancements to comprise between 20 to 40 percent of the final film project.
Besides the land itself, the property will feature a constructed, walled set measuring 300 feet by 330 feet. The set will not be a replica model of Jerusalem itself but instead be a puzzle-like collection of parts and pieces of buildings, courts, streets, alleys and the like.
"We think we've got a mix that, with a little dressing, we can recreate the scenes of the world at that time," Uibel said.
With the eight-week filming scheduled to begin in May 2011, construction crews are pouring concrete foundations for the sets, with set walls, columns and such already built and stored, awaiting installation.
