Dale Hunter: Never Forget
The Capitals fired head coach Bruce Boudreau this morning and replaced him with Dale Hunter. Yup, this Dale Hunter. I suspect that Islanders fans — well, the few who remain — have never forgotten.

Burlington County College (BCC) is an accredited, co-educational, two-year, public, community college located in Burlington County, New Jersey. Main facilities are located in two campuses in Pemberton Township and Mount Laurel and two centers in Mount Holly and Willingboro.
Founded in 1966, the college enrolls more than 7,500 students in Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, and Associate in Applied Science degree programs, and certificate programs.[1] Burlington County College is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and approved by the State.
BCC's logo was originally a shield, surrounded by pine branches, in front of an anchor, surmounted by a burning lamp, triagonalized, containing crossed sheaves of wheat, a plow, and something else. This was replaced at some time by a shield containing BCC's trademark trefoil-hexagon, surrounded with lines extending the pattern. A copy is on display in the Parker Center on the building's information / dedication plaque.
Pemberton Campus[edit]
The Lewis M. Parker Center[edit]
The Parker Center is BCC's original classroom and lab building. This facility contains classrooms, two lecture halls, the campus theatre, student lounge, television and radio studios, the college's radio station WBZC, bookstore, cafeteria, test center, and laboratories. It is built around the theme of hexagonal angles and appears as a key from the air.
The Academic Building[edit]
The Academic Center opened for classes in February 1994. This building contains multi-purpose computer labs, multimedia classrooms, a child care center and College administrative offices.
The Integrated Learning Resource Center/Library (ILRC)[edit]

The Physical Education Center[edit]
The Physical Education Center houses the College's indoor pool, 1500-seat gymnasium, the BCC Fitness Center with exercise and weight training facilities and spas, two classrooms, and locker rooms. Nearby are the campus tennis courts, baseball, softball and soccer fields, beach volleyball courts and bocce ball court.
Mount Laurel Campus[edit]
Laurel Hall/Academic Replacement Building[edit]
This building opened in September 2002. The 52,799-square-foot (4,905.2 m2), three-story building features two entrance foyers leading to a two-story open area rotunda/student lounge and administration/reception area. The Building's first floor includes a 75-station computer room, tiered lecture hall, faculty and administration offices and support space. The two upper floors include 20 standard classrooms with full computer station capabilities. The third floor houses the rotunda student lounge and a multi-purpose classroom. The building was constructed by area general contractor Wu & Associates, Inc.
Next to Laurel Hall, the Technology & Engineering Center features robotics, CADD, electronics, physics and high resolution computer labs. It also houses the library, cafeteria, classrooms, faculty offices, vending machines and a student lounge area.
Campus Library[edit]
First floor, TEC Center Besides books and research materials, the library includes computers that link to the main college library on the Pemberton campus and to a large network of resources. Both the college libraries are members of the Burlington County Library System

"make it even better into a wipe. I cut a roll of paper towels(use a good quilted strong towel) in 1/2 with a electic knife. put the mix into a zipper bag and put in the 1/2 roll and let it soak it up. Pull the paper tube out of the middle and then you can pull the wipe from the center of the roll."
"Love this! My bathroom mirror had a film that I couldn't get rid of even after using 3 different types of window cleaners. I whipped up this cleaner in a few minutes and it worked beautifully!"
"Thanks for posting this great recipe, I will never buy commercial window cleaner again. This stuff is great."
"Wow, I'm a cleaning machine! I couldn't stop at just cleaning glass, but moved on to countertops, doorknobs, and amost any other surface worthy of a good shining. Great stuff!"
"fabulous stuff! I always run out of window cleaner at the most in opportune time.....but I always have the supplies for this on hand. Thanks, Tish!"
"I used 1 gallon of warm water/ 1 cup rubbing alcohol w/ 2 tbsp of ammonia to clean my exterior windows in -2 degrees (C) temperatures using a squeegie....It worked great - no streaks and it doesn't freeze!"
"Best window cleaning recipe ever. I finally stop searching for a streak free glass/window cleaner! Thanks a million"
"Works great...no streaks! Thanks!"
"I used this for the first time tonight and I absolutely love it. I used it on mirrors that had been filmy and streaky from the previous cleaner. They shined right up with no streaks or residue. I couldn't be happier. I doubt I'll ever buy another bottle of windex again. I also like my 98 cent bottle from Walmart better than any glass cleaner bottle I've ever used. Thanks for the recipe!!! This is a MUST TRY...you can't lose."
"This stuff rocks! I mean absolutely! Cleaned my sons computer monitor like nothing else had. No more film on the screen! It's not very often that something works like you dream of..but this does! Spotless in no time. I recycled a Renuzit Super Odeor Neutralizer bottle that delivers a finer mist than a regular spray bottle. This makes for just the right amount of spray. I think any sprayer would work though. I will use nothing else... It's super!!!!! Thanks, Tish!"
"I have been using this window cleaner for about two years now..It is the best! I passed it on to my family and they all use it to..thank you !!"

has named a top-4 of Florida, Florida St, Ucla, Illinois. Attends Serra High School which has traditionally been a strong USC feeder school, but Adoree was born in St. Louis and grew up in Illinois and only moved to Southern California his soph year in HS. A strong Track and Field program is an important factor for him as he is a national level long jumper as well. Even though he did not name USC, from what I understand is that all depends on USC's season. USC has another season like last year, and there is no chance Adoree is a Trojan, if USC bounces back and contends for a PAC-12 title then he is likely USC's to lose.
Stanford and Oregon will be tough next season. I hope we land this kid to pair with VH3 for a few years. Sent from my HTC One X using Gator Country
Also remember that we currently have a solid commitment from 2014 CB Duke Dawson who is no slouch either.
High jumpers would make better DBs or WRs. The again, it didn't help Frankie Hammond that much. Looks like a great prospect. He and Tabor are my favorite on the board. Hope we get one of them. We'll have a velcro secondary for years. Nice size too. Too bad Marlon Humphrey is such a long shot. Don't know why he put UF on his list at all, but we have had some success at Hoover in the past. If he keeps playing games with UF, I'm going to stop exiting there for lunch and gas on my way from Chicago to Florida. That's been one of my favorite rest stops. I'll just tell everybody to hold it until Montgomery.
I know he lived in Illinois, but he can't be serious about going there with his talent. If he was born in St. Louis, his hometown in Illinois might have been in the east metro area, which leans pretty hard to Mizzou. They would make sense. Even Tennessee makes sense. Illinois makes none.
He will not play for the Vols he is visiting family over the summer and that is one of the closer schools.
He cares more about Track than Football dont think competition will scare him away playing time is available they are telling corners both Purifoy and Roberson could be gone.
I can see plenty of playing time, with both of Purifoy and Roberson leaving early along with Watkins graduating. That is three of the best cb's on the team.
Possibly. Playing devil's advocate though for a second, our secondary looks pretty solid - you have to assume VH3 is going to be a 3 year player for us at corner and will play plenty straight away. I think we'll do well to get a 4th year from him. Also if Riggs stays, he'll be a RS senior DB next year. Those look like starters outside to me. Brian Poole, who I know was listed at safety last year, was a 4/5 star recruit at CB too so it's entirely possible he gets time there next season and beyond. Between Gorman, Maye, Ledbetter and Showers (who are all already on the roster!) and with Nick Washington and Keanu Neal coming in, we look absolutely loaded at Safety, which is why I wonder if Poole might move back. I'd argue that we need to cherry pick our DBs, as always. I can certainly see possibility for playing time but I think Adoree would have to be something special to take a spot at corner immediately. Who knows, maybe he is?
VH3 is the only true quantity at corner. Everyone else looks like another safety/nickel/dime back. If Jackson is a pure corner, he couldn't find a better situation. UF can't decide where to put anyone in our secondary. We've moved our number one CB to WR and our number two or three corner to safety. We barely have specialists anymore. Showers is probably the best athlete on the team and we still don't know what to do with him.

More than 10 million Americans suffer the potentially disabling effects of macular degeneration, an eye disease that is the top cause of vision loss in people over age 55.
The incurable condition, which blurs central vision, is also called age-related macular degeneration (AMD) because it is associated with growing older, according to the National Eye Institute (NEI). Central vision is needed for driving, reading and recognizing faces and colors, among other tasks.
The macula is located in the center of the retina, the inside back layer of the eyeball that converts light and images into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. AMD can occur in one or both eyes.
Credit: MyHealthNewsDaily.
AMD typically develops gradually and isn't painful, so early symptoms can be mistaken for normal age-related vision changes. According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms include:
- Straight lines or faces appearing wavy
- Doorways seeming crooked
- Objects appearing smaller or farther away
- Increasing difficulty adapting to low light levels
- Decreasing color intensity or brightness
- Difficulty recognizing faces
- Increasing vision haziness
- Blurry or blind spots in central vision
Causes & Complications
The exact causes of AMD aren't known, but certain physical conditions and lifestyle choices increase the odds of developing it. According to the NEI, these risk factors include:
- Family history
- Smoking
- Obesity
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Being Caucasian
- Being female
- Diet low in fruits and vegetables
There are two types of AMD: wet and dry.
Wet AMD is relatively rare, comprising only about 15 percent of all cases, according to the NEI. It is also more serious than dry AMD, and can trigger rapid vision loss. It develops when abnormal blood vessels behind the retina begin emerging under the macula, and leaking blood and fluid.
Dry AMD occurs when light-sensitive cells in the macula gradually deteriorate. The size and number of yellow deposits behind the retina called drusen, which dislodge the macula from its usual spot, often indicate how severe dry AMD has become. When drusen are numerous or large, dry AMD is usually more advanced, according to the NEI.
Diagnosis & Tests
AMD is suspected in people over 60 who experience recent changes in the center of their field of vision. Several tests can help confirm the diagnosis, including:
- Dilated eye exam: The patient's pupils are dilated with eye drops so the optic nerve and retina can be examined using a special magnifying lens, according to the Mayo Clinic. Sometimes a mottled effect is observed, which indicates the presence of drusen.
- Amsler grid: Patients look at this grid, which resembles a checkerboard with a black dot in the center. If straight lines appear wavy or some lines appear to be missing, AMD is more likely.
- Angiogram: A special camera takes pictures of the eye after colored dye is injected into an arm vein, which then travels to blood vessels in the eye. AMD may be present if images show blood vessel or retinal irregularities.
- Tomography: Retinal thinning or thickening associated with AMD can be viewed with this non-invasive imaging test, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Treatments & Medication
While nothing cures AMD, various treatments are available depending on its type.
The progression of dry AMD from intermediate to advanced may be slowed by taking a daily high-dose combination of antioxidant vitamins and zinc, according to the NEI. The formulation includes:
- 500 mg of vitamin C
- 400 IU of vitamin E
- 15 mg of beta carotene (often labeled as equivalent to 25,000 IU of vitamin A)
- 80 mg of zinc (as zinc oxide)
- 2 mg of copper (as cupric oxide)
Wet AMD has three main treatments, not all of which are appropriate for every patient. They include:
- Laser surgery, which destroys leaky blood vessels behind the retina
- Injections into the eye with a drug that blocks a growth factor stimulating abnormal blood vessel development
- Photodynamic therapy, which includes the injection of a light-activated drug into the bloodstream. After the injection, a light is shined into the eye for 90 seconds, causing the drug to destroy new blood vessel growth, according to the NEI.
Several lifestyle changes can help AMD patients cope better with resulting vision loss, according to the Mayo Clinic. These include using magnifying lenses and glasses; adjusting computer font size and brightness level; using adaptive appliances such as clocks and telephones with extra-large numbers; and brightening room light levels.

Category: underrated names
In a recent blog, one half of the Nameberry partnership suggested ten neglected names–five for girls and five for boys– names that aren't receiving the attention or popularity they deserve. Now here are ten more from the other half–names that have been consistent favorites of mine, but which have never really caught fire despite our recommendations. (I should add that two of the names on the first list–Barnaby and Dinah–have been enduring loves of mine as well–in fact Dinah was the runner up to Chloe when I was naming my daughter.)
So, from the Land of Lost Opportunities:
AMITY. Unlike her solid, serious, one-syllable virtue-name cousins Hope, Grace and Faith, Amity has a lacy delicacy as well the wonderful meaning of friendship. And yet it has not appeared in the Top 1000 in 150 years. The same is true of the similarly neglected VERITY, which also has the attraction of a trendy V-beginning and the meaning of truth.
DUNCAN. This handsome Scottish name has always been near the top of my boy favorites list, for its combination of sophistication and bounce. It has literary cred from Shakespeare (Macbeth) to James Fenimore Cooper (The Last of the Mohicans). Though it hasn't been completely neglected –it reached as high as 377 in the late 90s heyday of D-names like Dylan, Dustin and Dalton–it's never been fully appreciated. Could Dunkin' Donuts be to blame?
GENEVA. Believe it or not, this was quite a common name a century ago, in the very low one hundreds in the first two decades of the 20th century. Being one of the original place names, with the long-popular Gen-Jen beginning (and logical nickname), it's surprising that it hasn't been picked up on in the modern age.
JANE. Whatever happened to Baby Jane? Once ubiquitous, it has virtually disappeared, and while the names of several of Jane Austen heroines have succeeded, her own name has not. I've never thought Jane was plain, seeing it as much more vibrant than cousins Joan and Jean. It makes a sweet, old-fashioned middle name too–moving away from dated Mary Jane to cooler combinations like Ethan Hawke's Clementine Jane.
LARS. One of a number of appealing Scandinavian names that have never made their mark in this country, Lars is strong, straightforward, friendly, and a touch exotic–a perfect choice for someone seeking a distinctive no-nickname name or a namesake for a Grandpa Lawrence. (And for those who like the en/-an-ending trend, there are also SOREN, KELLEN, and STELLAN.)
LIONEL. Not quite as obviously leontine as Leo or Leon (of which it's a French diminutive), Lionel has a lot of multi-dimensional cred, as a Knight of the Round Table, and in the jazz and TV-character worlds. Runner-up: the Welsh LLEWELYN, if only for its cool double-L nicknames–Llew, Lleu and Llelo.
MIRABEL, MIRABELLE. The perfect alternative for those tiring of the mega-popular Isabel and Annabel and Miranda, this is another choice that has never reached the Top 1000, despite its feminine charm and accessibility. It can also be considered a nature name, as mirabelle is the name of a variety of sweet yellow plum. Italian version MIRABELLA is another winner.
POLLY. Why Molly and not Polly? I've never understood the enduring popularity of the one and the neglect of the other, both being vintage rhyming nicknames for Mary. The disparity might be accounted for by the childlike, innocent, pigtailed, Pollyannaish (and maybe avian) image of Polly, a name which has hardly been heard since the 70s, (except maybe for Mattel's Polly Pocket dolls), having peaked on the charts in 1881! I say it's time for a revival.
REMY. A French name that's not as effete as Anatole or Antoine. Au contraire. Remy–meaning someone from the city of Rheims and sometimes associated with the Cajun cadences of New Orleans– is lively and charming, with just a pungent whiff of cognac. Kids will relate it to the plucky rat chef hero of Ratatouille.
ZEBEDEE. A distinctive Biblical name with zip as well as gravitas, belonging to the fisherman who was father to two of the twelve disciples, James and John. Other pluses: the cool initial Z and the cool nickname Zeb.
There are some names that, even now, after writing so much about the subject, I hear and think, "Wow, that's a great name. I wonder why people don't use that one more often?"
Sometimes, the answer is that a name was just too popular too recently for parents to appreciate its intrinsic wonderfulness: the lush Biblical Deborah is one that might fit in this category, though I didn't include it in my ten examples.
Other times, a name carries an unappealing association for enough people to keep it from becoming popular. And there are a dozen other reasons why a perfectly wonderful name just might not make it big – which can be good news for the parent in search of a name that's both topnotch and undiscovered.
Here, ten names we think are underrated right now:
BARNABY – This name scores high by virtue of feeling both energetic and classical, a rarity among boys' names. The medieval English form of an ancient Aramaic name that means "son of the prophet" or "son of encouragement," Barnabas was given as a surname to a biblical missionary named Joseph.
BRIDGET – The original Brighid was the ancient Irish goddess of poetry, fire, and wisdom, and the name in its many versions has been borne by a host of saints, servants, and one extremely curvaceous French actress. An Irish immigrant maid was commonly called a "Bridget," an epithet that caused many young women to change their names to something more acceptable, like Bertha. But today, the original Bridget or Brigitte or Brigid or Birgitta is much more appealing.
DINAH – The Old Testament Dinah – pronounced dye-nah – was the daughter of Jacob and Leah whose story was popularized by the novel "The Red Tent." The beauty of this classical name was obscured by so many similar and more popular versions: Dena and Deena and Diane and Diana. But Dinah, if you can get people to say it properly, remains a relatively undiscovered gem.
GREGORY – Gregory is one of those names that, like Deborah, was so popular in recent decades that parents tend to bypass it now: It peaked in 1962 and remained in the Top 50 through the late 1980s, though now it's down to number 223. Greek for "vigilant" or "a watchman," Gregory remains a name that's both strong and friendly. The highly respectable name of popes and saints, it also carries the earthy short form Greg.
MARGARET – Margaret was so widely used for so long – it remained in the Top 25 from 1880 well into the 1950s – that it came to be seen as one of those quintessential old lady names, but not in a good way. Greek for "pearl," Margaret has a rich, classic feel and was the name of many queens and saints. Another plus: a raft of great nicknames, from older choices like Peggy, Meg, and Maggie to new spins such as Maisie or Molly. The French Marguerite is very fashionable.
OLYMPIA – Why has Olivia achieved megapopularity while Olympia has languished? The mythological connection might be a negative, or is it something about that "limp" sound? Whatever: It's a name of champions and the fewer people that realize that, the better it will be for the selective few discerning enough to choose it.
REUBEN – The sandwich connection may be what's holding back this Old Testament name from catching up with megapopular brothers like Jacob and Benjamin. The stylishness of sister Ruby may give this name a boost. It's a treasure for adventurous yet classical-minded namers….and it can even work for girls.
ROY – This name that means king has a mid-century cool-guy feel, thanks to Roy Orbison and Roy Rogers. It's short, it's simple, yet it stands out: What more could you want from a boy's name? The next Ray.
TABITHA – Forever Samantha's daughter on Bewitched, this exotic choice from the New Testament never became as popular as her mother. Like Keziah or Lydia, Tabitha is that rare Biblical girls' name that remains distinctive yet feels totally appropriate for modern life. The nickname Tabby is cute, but the name really blossoms in its full form.
THOMAS – Thomas is not exactly an underused name, but it is an underrated one. So plain as to fade into the background, Thomas and Tom are masculine names that manage to be at once soft and strong, modern and traditional. Originally used only for priests, Thomas is Aramaic for "twin" and comes attached to many appealing figures, including Thomas Edison and Jefferson, Tom Sawyer and Hanks.
Agree? Have some other ideas? Let us know.

Chris Pontius is a man of many talents. His endless work rate and speed are the perfect combination for a midfielder. His finishing is that of a striker. But tomorrow, he wears a completely different hat. Pontius will present the DC Metro Area with their morning weather report on FOX 5.
Tune in at 8:15 a.m., to see the 2012 MLS All-Star MVP give it a go as a local weatherman. Then join Pontius and the rest of the Black-and-Red on Saturday at RFK when the team hosts Real Salt Lake in the 2013 home opener.
This morning, D.C. United head coach Ben Olsen joined DC 101's Elliot in the Morning show, take a listen:
In a Tuesday afternoon blog post on WashingtonPost.com, the Soccer Insider thinks that only 16,000 fans will pack RFK on Saturday night for D.C. United's home opener. The Insider called a sell out "ambitious," but I think fans of the Black-and-Red would beg to differ.
Following a run at the MLS Cup last year, D.C. United sold out two of its final three games and took back RFK, putting together an impressive 18 game unbeaten streak. In the Eastern Conference final, held at RFK on a blustery mid-November night, D.C. United had to open up additional seats for the Black-and-Red faithful to cheer on the team. 20,015 packed the house that night, well-surpassing the set capacity of 19,647.
Yesterday, at the club's 11th annual United for D.C. Kickoff Luncheon, Head Coach Ben Olsen said that "one of the things I'm most proud of from last year is that we became relevant again in this city and we gave our fans and new fans belief that D.C. is ready to compete again for Championships."
Despite a snowstorm bearing down on the Greater Washington Region, gametime weather for Saturday is expected to be 55 degrees and sunny – perfect conditions to make a trip to RFK with your family or friends. Click here to buy tickets and prove the Soccer Insider wrong.
A highlight from this past weekend's match at Houston was Bill Hamid. The young United keeper made a handful of spectacular saves, including one that he and defender Chris Korb doubled up for. The save earned Hamid a spot among the finalists for the MLS Save of the Week contest. Watch now and then vote for your Save of the Week!

Twelve years ago yesterday marks a special day in history for the United States Men's National Team—especially for D.C. United's own assistant coach Josh Wolff. On February 28, 2012, the USMNT beat Mexico in a World Cup qualifying match in Columbus, Ohio. Entering the game for a black-eyed Brian McBride, then 24-year-old Wolff entered the match eleven minutes in. Then an injured captain Claudio Reyna subbed out towards the end of the first half, giving an opportunity to then New York MetroStar Clint Mathis. Just four minutes later, Mathis hit a long ball over the Mexican back line—a long ball Josh Wolff timed perfectly. Winning the footrace against Mexican goalkeeper Jorge Campos, Wolff slipped the ball into the empty net and immediately celebrated. Wolff's contributions didn't end there. With three minutes left in regulation, he spun a Mexico defender and escaped a double team. Wolff dribbled down the goal line, picked up his head, and slot the ball back for an open Earnie Stewart to calmly finish. The USMNT emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over Mexico, bringing glory to the fans in the stadium that day in Columbus, Ohio, USMNT supporters, and Americans everywhere.
At an MLS Jersey Week event last night, a New York Red Bulls fan let everyone know how he/she felt about the Black-and-Red. Weak.
Our supporters, on the other hand, are much more creative.

Exhibit C:
Oh yeah, remember when United supporters outnumbered New York fans at Red Bull Arena during playoffs last year? Awkward...
A past MLS MVP and former captain of his country's national team, Carlos Ruiz became the first-ever Guatemalan player to sign with D.C. United on Feb. 20, 2012. Although perhaps not the first from their countries to wear the Black-and-Red, many other United players are also foreign-born.
United center back Dejan Jakovic was born in Croatia, moved to Canada, and now plays for the Canadian National Team. Lewis Neal was born and raised in Leicester, England. Neal played professionally in England until coming stateside to play with NASL side Orlando City S.C. Three Black-and-Red teammates hail from Brazil—Marcelo Saragosa from Campo Grande, Raphael Augusto from Rio de Janerio, and young Designated Player Raphael from Àuga Boa, Mias Gerais (a Brazilian State). Also from South America is United forward Lionard Pajoy, hailing from Norte de Santander, Colombia. D.C. defender Robbie Russell was born in Accra, Ghana and lived on four different continents (Africa, Asia, North America and Europe) before his family settled in Amherst, Massachusetts. Recently acquired John Thorrington was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and then moved to Los Angeles, California before signing with England's Manchester United. United's newest Homegrown Player Michael Seaton, 16, hails from Spanish Town, Jamaica and represented his country in the CFU U-17 FIFA World Cup. Another new addition to the Black-and-Red, Syamsir Alam comes to D.C. from Jakarta Indonesia. In total, 11 United players come from other countries before arriving in the nation's capital to put on the Black-and-Red.
Did you watch The Late Show with David Letterman last night? If so, you would have seen Imagine Dragons, an indie rock band out of Las Vegas Nevada. The band is on tour, promoting their debut album Night Visions. After an afternoon taping session in New York City, the group headed south to Silver Spring, Maryland for their show at The Fillmore. After the show, D.C. United was proud to present the band members each with an authentic D.C. United jersey, while we all watched the remainder of The Late Show backstage.
D.C. United would like to send a special thanks to the band, as well as Live Nation and The Fillmore for a great performance and for the support of the Black-and-Red.

TVI Pacific Inc. Provides An Update On Its Mindoro Joint Venture Projects
The laterite feed to the processing plant comprising limonite material and saprolite material would be mixed with sulphuric acid and undergo numerous steps to ultimately produce a nickel hydroxide product. This intermediate nickel product could either be sold as is or further processed to produce metallic nickel. The estimated capital cost for the nickel processing plant plus associated infrastructure (port, water, power, etc.) is expected to be less than US$100 million. The cash operating costs are estimated to be approximately US$4 per lb Ni (approximately US$9,000/t Ni), assuming the use of imported sulphuric acid. If the Pan de Azucar pyrite project can be successfully commercialized (refer below), then the opportunity exists to self-produce sulphuric acid at the nickel plant site, thereby further reducing operating costs, and with the added benefits of by-product electricity and steam.
Site infrastructure is excellent with local sources of labour, fresh water and power (supplemented by back-up generators). The processing plant will be located within two kilometres of the port, thereby simplifying acid transport and other logistics, as well as keeping operating costs down. Deep water for ships up to 50,000 tonne capacity occurs within 250 metres of the coastline.
A number of activities relating to the Agata Ni Processing Plant are underway and include:
- internal project feasibility scoping including previous relevant Mindoro scoping work
- external laboratory testing at BGRIMM of a representative bulk ore sample taken from the Agata Ni deposit, including:
- crushing and grinding tests
- pre-leach thickener settling tests
- primary and secondary leaching tests
- leach residue preliminary settling and filtration tests
- establishment of laboratory and pilot testing facility (in the Philippines)
- bench-scale laboratory equipment has been installed and testwork will commence at this facility before mid-February 2013
- pilot plant equipment has been identified and specified
- the process flowsheet has been identified and confirmed by laboratory tests
- process flow diagrams are near completion
- mass and energy balance have been developed in METSIM, using laboratory test data to calibrate the model
- environmental and leached ore storage facilities designs are well advanced
- preliminary infrastructure design is underway, including:
- port/jetty design, including reagent storage facilities
- water source identification
- road design
- process plant location and preliminary layout

Expensive parking
Parking at Phitsanulok Airport is expensive – 70,000 baht a month for just two spots.
Of course, these are not ordinary parking spots. They are located just outside the passenger terminal and they are currently occupied by two Boeing 747 jets.
The decommissioned planes have been there since 2008 and they belong to budget carrier Orient Thai. The engines have been removed from both aircraft.
Orient Thai had originally rented the two Boeing planes for use in its domestic aviation business.
However, after the rental contract expired, the owner did not ask for them back. This left the company to shoulder heavy parking costs at Bangkok's main Suvarnabhumi airport, prompting the move to Phitsanulok.
Now airport officials want the planes removed, but there is a problem.
The two planes have been under investigation since March 2011 because Crime Suppression Division police suspected parts were being secretly sold to avoid taxes.
The police have not pressed charges against the airline but have ordered the airport not to move the planes until the case is finalised.
Yesterday Director of Phitsanulok Airport Kasem Intasorn called on police to quickly wrap up their investigation.
Meanwhile, the planes have become something of a tourist attraction, with curious passengers taking pictures before leaving the airport.
Each aircraft now bears a sign saying, "This plane is to be donated for educational purposes".

This blog is adapted from the article "The Future of the Print Industry" by Joseph Puopolo, CEO, Printchomp, and featured speaker at the 2014 Print Leadership Summit, June 2–3, Dallas, TX.
What's one word to sum up the future of print? Adaptation.
Yes, what seems to be the law of nature also holds true for the print industry, along with many others. Those who adapt and effectively use new technologies will survive, while those who don't … well, let's say that it pays to listen to experts. But deciding which technology to invest in can be a major challenge for many print companies.
Here, one expert, Joseph Puopolo, CEO and Founder of Printchomp, a 15-year leader in the tech industry, offers insights into trending technologies and how printers can use them to their advantage.

Efforts are specifically directed to protect and assist victims and their families and promote good practices related to assisted voluntary return of minors, including social support, education and vocational training. http://www.terredeshommes.org/ BKTF (Te gjithe se bashku kunder trafikimit te femijeve - All together against child trafficking) is an anti-trafficking coalition of nine NGOs and national and international organizations. Established in 2002, it works to coordinate anti-trafficking efforts. NPF (Ndihme per Femjet - Help the Children), is an NGO supporting reintegration classes for children on the street and victims of trafficking. Teachers in selected schools provide additional lessons to children who have already dropped out or are at high risk of doing so, giving them a second chance at reintegration in regular schools. UNICEF and FBSH (Femijët e Botës Shqiperi – Children of the World, Albania) have been working to reduce the number of children on the street in Tirana and reintegrate them into school. FBSH is the successor of Enfants du Monde – Droits de l' Homme (Children of the World - Human Rights), a French NGO that phased out of Albania in 2003. The Albanian Children's Alliance, initiated by UNICEF, is a network of 150 Albanian civil society groups who advocate for children's and women's rights. Save the Children http://www.savealbania.org/ and Plan International (http://www.plan-international.org/) are the other main supporters of the Alliance. The Legal Clinic for Minors established by Peace Through Justice has received substantial assistance from UNICEF to provide free legal and psychosocial assistance to minors in conflict with the law. The Clinic started work in August 2000 in Tirana and also has offices in Korça and Shkodra. UNICEF partnered with the Education Departments of Shkodra, Malesia e Madhe and Puka to address the educational needs of children affected by blood feud in the north of Albania. Home-schooling programmes were designed to ensure that children who are kept at home for protection from blood feud still can realize their right to education. Red Barnet (Save the Children Denmark) has supported the Family Resource Centre in Shkodra, which works to prevent abandonment and reintegrate families. In 2003 the Regional Social Services, a government agency, took over operation of the centre. http://www.redbarnet.dk/ MEDPAK is a parents' association for children with disabilities, working to support their children's development and integration. UNICEF supported MEDPAK to reintegrate 300 disabled children into mainstream schools in Elbasan prefecture. With the Multidisciplinary Centre for the Management of Child Maltreatment, UNICEF works to prevent violence and teach alternative means of conflict resolution. The Centre aims to raise public awareness about child maltreatment and protect children from violence. Mine and Weapon Victims Association in Kukes works with UNICEF to inform the population of 39 border villages in northern Albania about landmine threats. MVA has also helped mine victims to rehabilitate and reintegrate into society. UNICEF has supported the Albanian Mine Action Executive from its outset since 1999. The Executive is a government entity that serves as an information clearinghouse for mine contamination in Albania and monitors and reports on demining processes. It also had a crucial role in developing the National Mine Awareness Strategy. www.eod-solutions.com/amae/ Counselling Center for Women and Girls, established in 1996, offers psychosocial assistance to abused women and girls. Located in Tirana with branches in Shkodra, Berat and Pogradec, this NGO has implemented a number of UNICEF activities against domestic violence. Shelter for Abused Women and Girls, established in 1998, provides shelter, psychosocial and legal assistance for abused women and girls. It also offers trainings to enhance women's ability to find employment.

This week's "Ask the Mompreneur" features an interview with Fox Business Network's Liz Claman. She is traveling to Davos, Switzerland this week to report live from the World Economic forum. The annual meeting features 2,500 leaders from more than 100 countries addressing current challenges and future risks in the global economy.
Ask the Mompreneur
Tell us a little about the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and why it's such an important event.
Liz Claman
It's the largest gathering of global business leaders and heads of state, all at the top of a Swiss Alp in the small ski village of Davos. It started 44 years ago with just 500 people. It's invitation only, but now it's grown to about 2800 people. It's where some of the biggest business deals have germinated and where world leaders have focused on making the world a better place.
Ask the Mompreneur
What impact did you see from the quota for women attendees? What topics or priorities might not have received focus without as many women present?
Liz Claman
Here's the deal about women attendees at Davos: there are *very* few of us. Last year, 17% of the participants were women; this year, that number has actually eroded to about 15%. Klaus Schwab, who runs the World Economic Forum (WEF), has been very vocal about participants making sure to bring women contributors. Why? Because we're 50% of the population and last I checked, we're huge idea generators who have an important voice.
This year, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer is a co-chair and that's getting a lot of attention. Depending on what she says and how she contributes, that could be awfully valuable. Last year, I was honored to be invited to the private Goldman Sachs dinner where Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook spoke about her then-new book "Lean In," a fascinating take on how women themselves might be sabotaging their rise to the top. That kind of dialogue is important and Davos is the place for it. However, this year, WEF is also tackling issues like empowering women in third-world nations.
One of the most interesting moments last year when it comes to focusing on priorities was when Rick Goings, the CEO of Tupperware very pointedly asked the WEF leaders while he was on our air why a horrific rape in India a year earlier wasn't part of the greater discussion. Goings has been a champion for women in all nations and he wasn't happy that the case, in which a woman was raped on a bus and then later died of her injuries, wasn't at the forefront of at least some Davos discussion.
Ask the Mompreneur
What is the latest thinking on how to foster more entrepreneurial participation from women on a global basis? Which approaches might be appropriate for developed countries like the U.S.?
Liz Claman
Women are terrific entrepreneurs. In fact, you could argue that at least here in the United States, they can get breaks on bank loans because they are seen, in some cases, as minorities. Sounds ridiculous considering more women get college degrees than men and we represent half the population but, hey, they'll take it! In the end, to start a business, you usually do need a bank loan, so by beginning with the banks and making sure they understand that loaning women-owned businesses money isn't a greater risk than loaning money to men. I'm quite sure that if you have an amazing idea or product and you can get some capital behind it, that's really the key.
Ask the Mompreneur
What's the most inspiring thing you heard or saw in Davos since you've been attending?
Liz Claman
2010 was my first year attending Davos. I landed an interview with Bill Gates, and he and his wife Melinda made a huge announcement right before the interview. They pledged $10 BILLION dollars to develop vaccines for a number of horrific and deadly diseases. These vaccines have the potential to save more than 8 million lives. The Gates led by example. It was and, to date, I believe still is, the largest single philanthropic pledge in history.
That's the kind of forum Davos provides: some of the most important and powerful people on the planet were right there to hear about the pledge and be affected by it. Bill Gates stressed to Fox Business in the subsequent interview that while, yes, $10 billion is a lot, it's not enough and that governments need to jump on board. Well guest what? 40 world leaders were in attendance at that moment and hopefully got the message.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
We purchased at HH Gregg less than 6 months ago. I have used it maybe 3 times. I got up this morning to find it turned on and playing. I could not turn it off or eject my Cd's. I called about it to the store and i get to eat $169.00 sale price plus taxes 8%. If Onkyo is reading you need to improve your quality of product and replace your defective merchandise. UN-happy consumer. I own your receiver also and will think very hard before i buy any more of your products. I hope everyone else thinks so too. This product was placed in cabinet where nothing was touching it and was ventilated well.

Yes We Have Gadgets
One year of the new Lexus Enform with Safety Connect telematics system is standard; after a free 12-month trial, there is a modest cost associated with this service. The major functional categories are automatic collision notification, stolen vehicle location, emergency assistance, and roadside assistance. When the optional navigation system is purchased, the Enform service includes live and online routing assistance. Special audio casts and Lexus promotional messages are available through a free Lexus Insider broadcast service.
XM radio is also part of the Enform service. After the free 90-day taste test expires, a subscription fee also applies to this communications channel.
Other electronic upgrades for 2010 are revised navigation software, full Bluetooth audio and phone connectivity, and a standard USB port.
This car boasts a lavish array of stand-alone and packaged optional equipment. A park-assist system uses ultrasonic sensors to warn of pending contact with fixed objects, both while backing and while moving forward. HID headlamps that steer around corners are available plus heated and ventilated front bucket seats. A touch screen navigation with a back-up camera and voice command capability can play DVD movies with the car stopped. A Mark Levinson premium audio system with 14 speakers and 300 watts of amplification turns the ES interior into a private concert hall.
A highly desirable Ultra-Luxury package contains perforated leather seats, a power rear sunshade, wood and leather trim for the steering wheel and shifter, special 17-inch wheels, and a panoramic glass roof.
Superbly Poised Powertrain
All Lexus ES 350s are propelled by a well mannered 3.5-liter V-6 engine that drives the front wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission. This engine revs to 6400 and delivers a potent 272 horsepower, enough to hit sixty mph in 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 137 mph. EPA ratings of 19 mpg city and 27 mpg on the highway are commendable.
Both intake and exhaust cams have variable valve timing and the electronically controlled transmission offers a manual shift mode. Shared with the popular Toyota Camry, this high volume powertrain is hardy in service and dead reliable. There are no notable changes this year.
Competent Chassis
Except for new wheel designs, the chassis is also unchanged for 2010. A sound body provides a good foundation for the all-independent suspension systems. Four-season 215/55VR-17 radials are standard and a full-size spare wheel and tire is available at extra cost. The electronic stability system includes traction control, ABS, brake assist, and brake-force distribution. At long last, a shut-off switch is provided for those who enjoy the occasional frisky fling; disabling the traction control is also handy for powering out of snow banks with both front wheels churning.

What can I say, I am on my third hilux surf, the 1st one I had for 3 years which was the 2.4 diesel, the 2nd one I had was newer at a good price so I upgraded from the 2.4. To be honest if it wasn't for the 2nd surf myself and family would not be alive today, myself, my wife and 2 young children got side swiped by a Spanish articulated lorry on a roundabout, the surf rolled over 3 times smashing every window and crippling the car totally, especially as after we finished rolling the lorry then… Read Full Review

Love to motor but how do you find a place that can find it on insurance
Written on: 17/04/2013
To keep the temperature of my 3L surf in control I had a new radiator made by an Australia radiator manufacture with the automatic oil cooler moved to the right (left looking at front) this allows the water to leave the radiator without the oil cooler restricting the flow as it does using the original radiator.
I have intention of increasing the turbo boost after logging under bonnet, engine, turbo as well as oil temperatures. Will let you know of any progress.

I've all ways wanted a Hilux surf since seeing a generation 1 as a child, i had been looking for a low mileage one for a couple of years and managed to find one with less than 40k miles on the clock. It's a 3.0 litre 1993 auto model, it's immaculate the only signs of rust are on the chrome bumpers. Everything still works on it and is suprisingly economic to run. I've been offroading in it and often find myself passing many new 4x4's that have become stuck and this is with an unmodified truck… Read Full Review

I have owned 4 hilux surfs, A 2.4 EFI, and three with the 1KZ-te motor. The motor could have been the diesel to end all diesels of the era, but built in faults to the head and cooling/capacity have turned a well engineered piece into a nightmare. Treat with the utmost care (servicing) and add an aftermarket AUDIBLE "smart" engine block temp. device or exhaust gas temp device and you will detect this problem before it cracks the head.

The 3.0 turbo diesel is BY FAR the best 4x4 money can buy! VERY capable off the road, more powerful and economical than any other 4x4 I'm aware of on the road, being Japanese they come with a great spec as standard, very comfortable, at 16 years old everything works, shows no signs of wear or rust underneath at all and flies through every MOT. Nothing short of amazing! Don't even think about buying a Discovery instead, you will definitely regret it come MOT time - If not before! My only advice… Read Full Review

Written on: 17/08/2011
Yes the 2.4L is said to blow head gaskets, but that is because the not enough pressure is being realeases. This is you if you are going to buy a 2.4L, you need to change exhaust size to a 2.5 inch or a 3 inch. This will stop the gaskets from blowing and failing.

Have owned a 1996 Toyota Surf SSR-G 3ltr for 12yrs and covered 150k rapid miles. Apart from the usual servicing parts and three sets of tyres, the only thing that went wrong was the cylinder head, they don't like starting hard in frosty weather. The interior is still like new, even the floor mats are original and everything works including the aircon, only been recharged once. Drove it to Cyprus and left it there last year, took five days and never missed a beat. I have an X5 in this country… Read Full Review

Fantastic all round vehicle, have had the usual problems expected with imported surfs (suspension, a/c ceased, interior electrics not all working) but what else can you expect from vehicles of this age that don't get the attention they need in Japan before we import them.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I love the simplicity of these invitations, and the foil stamping really makes them feel "expensive." Our customer service agent was great to work with; she helped me customize the text and even offered suggestions on different ways to word my invitation and RSVP cards. I would highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas to everybody."
"These invites are beautiful!. Very soft and feminine. The custom designers helped me to use it for my daughter's bridal shower and it came out perfect. Will def use WD again. Thank you."
"I am so in love with these invites. Just received them in the mail and for one, i can't get over how quickly they arrived - well before the estimated arrival date. I was in a panic due to ordering a little later than i should have, so needless to say i am ecstatic! The paper quality is excellent, i got the pearl finish on the invites, as well as the envelops and it gives such a beautiful touch. I can't forget to mention the customer service, this site is amazing! I had a few changes requested and they were done promptly and exactly to my liking. Would definitely use them again - for a different type of occasion of course ;)"
"This invitation portrays a casual, but simple elegance. I chose the navy print to soften the presentation and ordered it on the recommended paper stock. It turned out beautiful! When I received it in the mail, it appeared even more exquisite and is exactly what I envisioned. I am very happy with this purchase."
"I chose the purple color for this invitation, to incorporate my weddings colors. It is just as pretty as the gray color shown. I love this design....It's a unique twist on the lace, but still classy. My wedding is outdoors, so I felt this provided an elegance to the invitation without being too over-the-top for an outdoor, relaxed wedding. Very pleased with these!"

(See story here.)
"...Jeff and Sherri Robinson...filed a civil lawsuit on behalf of their son Joseph, 17, against Carl Jerome Edmonds....
"Joseph was shot in the early morning hours of May 29. Joseph and at least one other boy were knocking on doors or ringing doorbells, then running away. Police said one homeowner, identified in the lawsuit as Edmonds, thought his home was being broken into and opened fire.
Joseph was shot, and the bullet remains embedded in his leg. The lawsuit says he will have permanent physical disability and incur future medical bills as a result. It asks for punitive damages and the cost of civil action, for a total of no less than $2.5 million.
Olson accuses Edmonds of acting in a reckless and grossly negligent manner. The complaint alleges Edmonds was not in danger, the children were playing a "childish prank" and were not armed, and Edmonds' property was not threatened. The Robinsons' claim also states the use of a gun was excessive and not a legal use of a weapon...."
