Sorry 'Namor' Fans: Don't Expect a Big 'Sub Mariner' Movie Anytime Soon
It turns out that the character of Namor is so wrapped up in red tape that it's impossible to see when or if he could make it to he big screen from anyone.
It turns out that the character of Namor is so wrapped up in red tape that it's impossible to see when or if he could make it to he big screen from anyone.
Up until this point, we haven't heard any real explanation from Marvel or Edgar Wright on why the two sides parted ways on the 'Ant-Man' movie. Besides a few tweets, Wright has stayed mum on specifics, but now Marvel president Kevin Feige opened up about the departure.
'Guardians of the Galaxy' hasn't even hit theaters yet, but we know it's got at least one major connection to 'The Avengers.' Aside from existing in the same cinematic playground, the intergalactic "Mad Titan" known as Thanos will be the future nemesis of The Avengers, in addition to being the evil puppet master of the villains in 'Guardians.' Does this mean Marvel will have both teams of superheroes crossover for one big team-up in a future movie?
In conjunction with the film's August release and the launch of the mobile game, Dan Abnett took some time from his busy schedule to talk with us about writing mobile games, and returning to the characters he helped bring back to prominence at Marvel.
It's been a huge week for 'Avengers 2' -- aside from our first look at the sentient villain Ultron, eight new photos from the film debuted online, and Entertainment Weekly continues dropping plot point after plot point. Now, another piece of story intel has hit, once again from EW, revealing the origin story behind another highly anticipated 'Avengers 2' debut: Vision!
The world of Marvel comics is going through some major changes. While Wednesday saw the announcement of a female Thor taking up Mjolnir for a new comic books series, now Captain America, Steve Rogers, has been forced into early retirement. So, who is taking over the reigns? None other than his buddy Sam Wilson, aka The Falcon!
If you thought the 'Avengers 2' fun was done for the day with the reveal of Ultron on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, you were wrong. We've got eight brand new 'Avengers 2' pics - the first official photos from the movie - and the gang's all back together (along with some new friends)!
You don't have to wait for Comic-Con to get your first look at Ultron, the big 'Avengers 2' villain! Marvel has released its first look at the new big bad (and his army of Ultron clones) on the cover of Entertainment Weekly.
In news that will probably baffle comic book fans and normal people alike, it was revealed that Thor (yes, the Avenger) is no longer worthy of his title and will be replaced by a woman.
Yes, you are allowed to unleash a collective "What?!" right about now.
The previous 'Big Hero 6' trailer didn't show us much beyond a glimpse at puffy robot hero Baymax struggling to fit into his robot suit. Today, we get a longer 'Big Hero 6' trailer with much more footage from Disney's upcoming animated Marvel film, though unfortunately, still a lot of focus on the antics of Baymax.
Rocket Raccoon may be one of the first animal superheroes to make it to the big screen, but he's certainly not alone in the pages of Marvel and DC comics. In fact, superhero comics have been introducing animal heroes for years, ranging from stand-alone heroes with unique origin stories to pets who simply share the same powers as their owners.
For Marvel, San Diego Comic-Con is a playground where fans and news outlets tightly congregate to get a sneak peek at the upcoming slate of MCU films. We already knew that the studio behind some of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters would be making an appearance, and Marvel Studios confirmed as much today, but that's all they're telling us! Still, based on our previous knowledge, there are a few things we can expect.

We'll be straight with you, folks: We don't really like surveys or statistics all that much. So when the NPD talks to 10,000 US citizens about their entertainment consumption and spending, we're inclined to be highly suspicious of any conclusions it may arrive at (after all, that's less than one percent of the US population). That being said, the NPD's latest poll found that, of those 10,000 people, 65 percent are currently willing to spend "the same or more" this year on video games as they did in 2008.
Seems as though even in tough economic times, consumers gravitate towards entertainment to take their minds off of duckets (or their lack thereof). "Most consumers say they'll continue to purchase at least the same amount of many entertainment categories in the coming year," NPD analyst Russ Crupnick says, remaining positive on the future viability of entertainment sales in general. We're hoping -- for our sake as well -- his assessment pans out.

Lifford (Irish: Leifear, historically anglicized as Liffer)[1] is the county town of County Donegal, Ireland. It is the administrative capital of the county and the seat of Donegal County Council, although the town of Letterkenny is often mistaken for fulfilling this role. Lifford lies in the Finn Valley area of East Donegal where the River Finn meets the River Mourne to create the River Foyle.
The town grew up around a castle built there by Manghus Ó Domhnaill, ruler of Tír Chonaill (mostly modern County Donegal), in the 16th century. It later became a British Army garrison town until most of Ireland won independence as a dominion in 1922. It lies across the River Foyle from Strabane (in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland) and is linked to that town by Lifford Bridge. Manus O'Donnell began building the castle in 1527[2] on the Wednesday after St. Brendan's day (Saint Brendan's feast day is celebrated on May 16). He completed the masonry and woodwork by the end of that summer even though the O'Neill's of Tyrone were at war with him. In 1543 the castle of Leithbher was given to Cahir (the son of Donnell Balbh) O'Gallagher to be guarded for the O'Donnell clan. He then proceeded to banish the people loyal to the O'Donnell's from the castle so that he could keep it for himself. In 1544 Calvagh, the son of O'Donnell, went to the English Lord Justice, and brought back English soldiers with him to Tirconnell, the olden name for County Donegal. O'Donnell, Calvagh, and these men went with 'ordnance and engines for taking towns' to the castle of Lifford to take it back from the descendants of the O'Gallagher's.
Cahir, the son of Tuathal Balbh & Turlough, the son of Felim Fin O'Gallagher, who had been taken hostage earlier, were brought to the castle to see if the O'Gallagher's would surrender. Which they wouldn't. As the English attacked one was killed instantly so they killed Cahir, the son of Tuathal on the spot. The castle was then surrendered to O'Donnell to spare the life of Turlough, the son of Felim Fin and another son of Tuathal Balbh.
Sadly Lifford castle is no longer standing but here is a poem[3] from the late 16th century about the castle, it describes the owners and surroundings at the time.
"A beloved dwelling is the castle of Lifford, homestead of a wealth abounding encampment; forge of hospitality for the men of Ulster, a dwelling it is hard to leave.
Beloved are the two who keep that house without excess, without lack; the ward of the stout, even-surfaced tower are the supporting pillars of the province.
Short is the day, no matter what its length, in the company of the royal warrior of Conchobhar's Plain; fleet are the long days from the lady of bright-walled Tara.
The daughter of noble Shane O'Neill, and the son of O'Donnell of Dún Iomgháin—they are in the ancient, comely dwelling as entertainers of guests.
Dear the hostel in which these are wont to be, dear the folk who dwell in the hostel; the people of the house and the house of that people happy is any who shall get honor such as theirs.
Beloved the delightful, lofty building, its tables, its coverlets, its cupboards; its wondrous, handsome, firm walls, its smooth marble arches.
Beloved is the castle in which we used to spend a while at chess-playing, a while with the daughters of the men of Bregia, a while with the fair books of the poets.
The fortress of smooth-lawned Lifford no one in the world can leave it once it is found; that dwelling is the Durlas of the north.
Or else it is Eamhain which used to vary in form, or Croghan of the children of Mágha, or Tara of the race of Cobhthach—this bright castle, rich in trees and horses.
Or it is Naas, the fortress of Leinster, as it was first fashioned; or the fertile, ancient abode of the children of Corc, green, conspicuous Cashel.
Or it is fair Lifford itself—hardly is any of these castles better—which hath of yore assumed those shapes ye are wont to hold dear".
In 1611[4] Lifford came into the possession of Sir Richard Hansard during the Plantation of Ulster. One of the conditions of his grant was that a ferry crossing be provided over the River Finn. This service continued until 1730 when the first bridge linking Lifford and Strabane was built.
In the 19th century a curious custom existed when if, by the end of the Assizes in Lifford or Omagh courthouses, a jury could not reach a unanimous verdict in a case, they were sent to the "verge" of the county to be dismissed.[5] In some of the cases of counties Donegal and Tyrone this would have been the middle of Lifford Bridge.
The present bridge was constructed by engineering company McAlpines in 1964, jointly funded by Donegal County Council and the old Tyrone County Council (the present Strabane District Council was only formed in the early 1970s). During The Troubles in 1968, an attempt was made to blow the bridge up. However, it was only closed for a short time and today remains an important road link.
Lifford achieved national recognition in the 2008 Tidy Towns Awards [6] as the best newcomer to the competition in Category 'C'.
National Government[edit]
Lifford was once a constituency that elected two M.P.s (Members of Parliament) from the area to the Irish House of Commons from the years 1692 until 1800. More information on who represented the area can be found here at Lifford (Parliament of Ireland constituency).
Lifford is now in the Dáil Éireann constituency of Donegal South–West. It was formerly in Donegal North–East, but due to the population shift within the County an electoral boundary review in 2008 moved the town and environs to Donegal SW. The town also moved from the Letterkenny Electoral Area to the Stranorlar Electoral Area as part of that boundary review.[7] The constituency is represented in Dáil Éireann by Pearse Doherty(TD) of Sinn Féin, Dinny McGinley(TD) of Fine Gael and Thomas Pringle an Independent Teachta Dála(TD). They were elected to the 31st Dáil at the General Election on 9 March 2011
Local Government[edit]
The town is represented by one councillor with Donegal County Council, namely Gerry Crawford (Fianna Fáil). Councillor Crawford from Porthall has been elected Donegal County Mayor and Chairman of the Council for 2008.
Lifford Town has a population of 1,658 as of 2011 census [8] an increase of 210 on the 2006 census [9] of the Republic of Ireland. In 2002 there was 1,395 residents in the town. The town population (2011) divides up as 777 male and 881 female residents. Lifford is part of the Parish of Clonleigh with a population of 3,681, the parish is sub-divided for electoral purposes into two separate Electoral Districts, Clonleigh North, population 1,466 and Clonleigh South, population 2,215.
Lifford is served by several school's all of which are Primary/National Schools. For Second level education students must travel to either, Raphoe, Stranorlar or Strabane in Northern Ireland. Primary schools cater for children from age 5 to 13 in yearly classes from Junior Infants to sixth class. All children must receive an education in the Republic of Ireland between the ages of five and sixteen. More information can be found by clicking HERE.
Primary Schools in Lifford are:
- St. Patrick's, (Murlog National School). A 162 pupil school (Enrolment: Boys: 99 Girls: 63 (2012/13)).[10]
- Scoil Mhuire gan Smal, (Lifford National School). A 102 pupil school (Enrolment: Boys: 52 Girls: 50 (2012/13)).[11]
- Scoil Cholmcille Naofa, (Ballylast National School). A 68 pupil school (Enrolment: Boys: 34 Girls: 34 (2012/13)).[12]
- Scoil Bhrighde, (Boyagh National School). A 35 pupil school (Enrolment: Boys: 17 Girls: 18 (2012/13)).[13]
- Scoil Cholmcille, (Cloughfin National School). A 32 pupil school (Enrolment: Boys: 11 Girls: 21 (2012/13)).[14]
There were other primary schools in the parish but are long since gone, namely Blackrock National School and Ballindrait National School.[15] The Prior Endowed School and The Hansard Grammar School were fee paying schools in Lifford and are now also closed; see below for further information on these schools.
Historical Buildings & Places of Interest[edit]
Lifford Courthouse[edit]
The courthouse is now a museum and is located across from the County House, the HQ of Donegal County Council, in The Diamond area of the town. The courthouse was designed by Michael Priestly of Dublin and built in 1746. The museum houses a permanent display of O'Donnell clan documents and artefacts, as well as minute books from various institutes in Donegal. It also houses some of the original cells belonging to what was once Donegal's 'County Jail'.
Cavanacor House[edit]
Cavanacor House is located just off the N14 on the outskirts of the town - which is the ancestral home of the 11th President of the United States of America, James Knox Polk. His great, great, great grandmother (Magdelene Tasker) was born here[16] in 1634, she later married Capt. Robert Bruce Pollock and emigrated to the USA. King James II dined at Cavanacor House on his way to the siege of Derry in 1689.[16]
Prior Endowed School[edit]
The school was built in 1880 to cater for local Protestant children with monies bequeathed by Miss Eleanor Prior from Ballindrait. The Prior school closed in 1972, being amalgamated with the Royal School in Raphoe to create the "Royal & Prior Comprehensive School".[17] The school and grounds were first taken over by the then Irish Department of Posts and Telegraphs, and later (from 1974) by the Irish Defence Forces for use as a military barracks. The Barracks has since closed along with Rockhill House Military Post in Letterkenny on 31 January 2009.
St. Lugadius Church[edit]
Clonleigh (Church of Ireland) Parish Church was built in 1621. Sir Richard Hansard who had been granted land at Lifford directed in his will that a church be built in Lifford. There is a monument to Sir Richard and his wife Dame Anne inside the church with a plaque on the wall detailing his wishes and who the executors of his will were. In the graveyard George Gardiner is buried, he won a Victoria Cross during the Crimean War in 1855.
St. Patrick's (Roman Catholic) Church[edit]
St. Patrick's is the second church on the present site. The first church was built here at Murlog in the 18th century after the Earl of Erne saw Catholic worshippers praying in the open. The church was later demolished to make way for the new church which was built in 1963. A three stage gothic tower dating from about 1820 was attached to the old church and was saved by the parish; it is still standing next to new church. The church is in the parish of Clonleigh, formerly Clonleigh and Camus until it was established as an independent parish in 1974.
Lifford Community Hospital[edit]
The Hospital was once the County Hospital catering for all of County Donegal. It is located on the banks of the River Foyle just before you cross the bridge into Northern Ireland. Although this is not the first location of the County Hospital, It was originally in the diamond area of the town in a place called the Barrack yard. The Hospital first opened in this location in 1773. The first surgeon was a man called Mr. William Hamilton from nearby Strabane. In 1780 it was proposed to move to new premises with the Cavalry Barracks and stables in the town being sought, it was not until 1799 that the premises were renovated and ready to be occupied. In the early 1900s the hospital was operating at full strength with the Maternity and Surgical wards treating on average 400 patients and carrying out around 350 operations annually.[18] The hospital today caters for long and short term residents by providing a convalescent and respite service. Physiotherapy and chiropody services are also provided in the hospital for the in-patients and out-patients from the greater East Donegal area.[19]
Hansard's Grammar School[edit]
The will of Sir Richard Hansard in 1619, endowed a private school,[20] in Lifford. The will provided for 30 pounds sterling a year for a master, and 20 pounds sterling a year for an usher. The school was intended to cater for classical studies. All children of Clonleigh parish were to be entitled to attend for a free education. Hansards' Grammar School commenced operations in 1697. In 1791, the Commissioners of Education reported that there were no free scholars in the school out of an attendance of 18, of whom 6 were boarders. The Commissioners of 1807-1812 reported the school as being in a very unsatisfactory condition. While the head master and usher were being paid salaries according to the endowment, the teaching had been handed off to a third person on a wage of 6 pounds sterling a year. Furthermore, classical subjects were not being taught, only arithmetic. The school continued in decline until 1840, until an inspection by the Commissioners precipitated the resignation of the master, who was accused of major neglect. Attendance which had been as low as three pupils, rapidly increased under a new classical teacher. Sometime before 1856, the Earl Erne (whose family, the Creightons / Crichtons, had originally settled in Ulster at Lifford before moving south to County Fermanagh), on behalf of the Church of Ireland Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, converted the school into an English-style school, and hired a master and mistress. Both were dismissed in 1856. At this time there was a dwelling house attached to the school, lived in by a previous master. In 1857, the school was reopened as an English school under the management of the Bishop of Derry and Raphoe.
Lifford is known as the 'Gateway to Donegal', this is because it is the first town you enter in County Donegal when travelling from Dublin on the N2 (A5/A38 through County Tyrone). Two national primary routes, the N15 to Sligo via Stranorlar, Donegal Town and Ballyshannon and also the N14 to Letterkenny, take travellers to all parts in the County. There is also the R265/R236/A40 national secondary route to Derry City. Lifford has several daily bus services operated by Bus Éireann to Dublin Airport / Dublin City Centre (Busáras). They also serve Letterkenny and Ballybofey, where connections can be had for travelling onwards to Sligo with its railway station and bus station. Lifford is also very close to Strabane Bus Depot, located on Bradley Way in Strabane. From here, Ulsterbus operate services to Derry, Belfast, Omagh and other places in Northern Ireland.
City of Derry Airport is the nearest major airport to Lifford, approximately a 40 minute drive (22 Miles/35 km). Daily flights to and from the airport include London Stansted, Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Faro, Lanzarote, Alicante, Majorca during the summer months.
Donegal Airport is a regional airport located at Carrickfinn in West Donegal, approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes from Lifford, (52 Miles/83 km). Flights from here go to Dublin and Glasgow several times weekly.
Belfast International Airport is located 62 Miles/100 km to the east of Lifford near the town of Antrim in Northern Ireland. Driving time to here is approximately an hour and a half.
Dublin International Airport (The busiest airport in Ireland)[21] lies 128 Miles/206 km South-East of Lifford. Driving time from here is just under 3 hours.
- In 1792 the 6 km (4 mi) Strabane Canal was constructed from the tidal waters of Lough Foyle at Leck, to Strabane. The canal fell into disuse in 1962. In June 2006 the Strabane Lifford Development Commission awarded a £1.3m cross-border waterways restoration contract. The project was launched by Her Excellency Prof. Mary McAleese, the President of Ireland, in Lifford and involves the restoration of 2.4 km (1.5 mi) of canal and two locks to working order. Work is due to start on the Lough Foyle side of the canal in the summer of 2006.
- Lifford Halt railway station opened on 1 January 1909 and finally closed on 1 January 1960.[22] Lifford was a stop on the Strabane to Letterkenny narrow gauge rail line. It was run by the CDR, as it was known at the time or County Donegal Railways Joint Committee. This line also stopped at Ballindrait, Raphoe and Convoy en route to Letterkenny.
The nearest railway station is Waterside Station in Derry. This station is operated by Northern Ireland Railways (N.I.R.) and runs from Derry, via Coleraine, to Central Station and Great Victoria Street Station in Belfast. The strategically important Belfast-Derry railway line is to be upgraded to facilitate more frequent trains and improvements to the permanent way, such as track and signalling, to enable faster services.
Lifford is home to a number of sporting clubs, including:
- Naomh Pádraig GAA Club.[23] Founded in 1953 as Lifford GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) Club, in 1992 the club was renamed Naomh Padraig, Leifear. The club play in the Donegal Senior Football Division 3, they play their home games at McDermott Park in the Roughan.

The main objective of Rotary is "service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world". Its aim also is to raise funds to help the disadvantaged of the local area and around the world.

- Lifford Youthreach is part of Donegal Education and Training Board. It provides training and education for early school leavers from the area. The Youthreach programme began in the town in May 2000, it started as an outreach from the Letterkenny Youthreach centre and then operated as an independent centre from 2001. Its premises are in the Diamond in the town centre. Various training programmes offered are up to FETAC Level 4.[30]
- Lifford Scout Group. The full title of the scout group is the 19th Donegal (Lifford) Scout Group .[31] The group was formed in 1985 to cater for the children of the parish. Lifford Scouts are members of Errigal Scout County which encompass all the scout groups from County Donegal and parts of Counties Tyrone and Londonderry. The county group is in turn part of the Northern Scout Province, this group then is part of Scouting Ireland. Scouting Ireland covers scouting on the island of Ireland, although it operates alongside The Scout Association in Northern Ireland.
- The Lifford Circle Group. This voluntary community group was set up in 2009 by five people from the local area who had participated in an International Fund for Ireland (IFI) funded programme called 'Experiences of the Troubles'. The aim of this group is to 'channel the knowledge, skills, ideas and networks that have been forged to invigorate a stronger sense of community spirit'. The group has been instrumental in the setting up of community allotments for use by the people of the town and wider community.
- Lifford Clonleigh Resource Centre. The Resource Centre was founded by a group of people from Croaghan Heights, a local housing estate. Local people had been frustrated by lack of resources and proper facilities in the area; they wanted to make Lifford a better place in which to live. In the beginning the group worked from a portakabin but soon realised that a larger more suitable premises would be needed. Funding was sought from the then North Western Health Board who appointed a part-time Community Worker. Later, In December 1992, the Project was included in the Community Development Programme (CDP), funded by the Department of Social Welfare. The CDP assisted the Resource Centre to pay the staff and purchase equipment. The centre is run on a Voluntary Management Committee basis backed up by volunteers who assist in running various projects within the Resource Centre. The aim of the Centre is 'To promote changes collectively in the Lifford / Clonleigh area to enhance people's quality of life by bringing about equality of opportunity and justice in a holistic way'.

The diagram below shows the key points to measure when calculating size, then simply select the correct size from the chart above. It's best to actually take body measurements rather than measuring over clothes. You shouldn't need to 'size up' or 'down' unless you have a particular fit preference of course.
Back to top
Keep your bra on and measure in inches around your ribcage directly under your bust.
This gives you the band or back size. When measuring, you should always round down! Your underband should be snug, e.g. If you achieve 29.5 ins then round down.
For example: your underband measurement is 29in then add 5 ins - you are a 34.
Now measure around the fullest part of your bust, the full bust measurement less underband = cup size. When measuring, you should always round up!
The over bust measurement should always be generous, e.g. If you achieve 34.5 ins then round up to 35 ins.
width - toes should have room to spread with no bulges at the shoes widest part.length - there should be half an inch (1.25cm) between the end of the shoe and the longest toe.
High leg boots that do not have any stretch material in them will not fit everyone. To find out whether boots will fit, use the calf measurement chart below.
In order to get the most precise measurement it's best to get someone to measure for you.

for front page and clay section
A short claymation made just for halloween. It took a little over 2 weeks for only 1:29, but I tried to step it up a notch in quality.
Please enjoy, and happy halloween
This was great because i love clay movies and when they involve halloween or dark setting i love it. And it all was put together. I like the plot. There could of been some type dialouge between the characters. The best about this flash is that the change between the boy into the wolf. That was pure genius. And what was that boy anyway. He looked like a alien, weird. Overall this movie was great. Keep up the good work. I want to see more of these!
i loved it whao it was a great effort keep up the great work i hoped for a gorier ending but nevermind it was brill ^_^ thank you for this toon :D

I realize that the Zoints are about gone but whenever I click on the "My Profile" link it takes me to a directory and logs me off the site. If I use a backdoor to get to my old blog (which I am in the process of copying off currently) it does the same then sends me to the AO home page if I try and navigate anywhere else.
Is it being abandoned completely and if it is can you give me a few days to copy of my information?

Business review
Corporate Responsibility Review
Acting responsibly towards all our stakeholders is an important commitment for the Group.
We are committed to acting responsibly towards all our stakeholders and to taking a leadership position within our sector. We publish information about our performance on our website www.atkinsglobal.com/cr and summarise the year's activities here. Our Corporate Responsibility Review is structured in accordance with our policies on safety leadership, carbon reduction, respect for the environment, excellence in delivery and working with our community. Information relating to our people is included in the Human Resources Review and information on corporate responsibility governance and business conduct can be found in the Corporate Governance section.
Safety leadership
We remain committed to health and safety improvement beyond that required by law in the regions in which we operate. We continue to work with industry through national forums such as the Construction Industry Council (CIC) and the Consultants Health and Safety Forum, as well as attending forums for specific clients and industry sectors.
Working with the Consultants Health and Safety Forum and Construction Skills, we have developed and launched an international health and safety assessment in our Asia Pacific, Europe and Middle East regions. No such assessment existed previously outside the UK. The assessment is based on the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) health and safety test which is used in the UK.
Due to the nature of our work in the UK, where we have people working directly on the roads and railways, we face some significantly different safety risks compared to our operations elsewhere in the world. Last year, we reported that our highways and transportation business in the UK set the industry standard for designing out risk. This demonstration of good practice has now been recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and is available through its website www.hse.gov.uk. Our highways business in the UK has also been raising awareness of the risks associated with working on highways. We have produced a DVD for haulage companies to raise awareness of the role impact protection vehicles play in protecting road workers. This DVD was featured on the BBC's 'Inside Out' East of England programme on BBC One and BBC HD.
In the Middle East we have achieved significant recognition from our client for our delivery of an environment, health and safety management system (EHSMS) for Al Ain Municipality in the UAE. The EHSMS for the municipal infrastructure and assets sector has been certified to the international standards OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001.
We continue to improve safety leadership across the Group. Last year more than 170 senior managers in the UK attended our safety leadership course. Directors continue to undertake safety tours across the Group. Our rail business in the UK has had further success with its 'Safe by Choice' behavioural programme which has seen a 50% reduction in minor accidents. In February, the programme won a second national industry award.
Our safety performance
It is with deepest regret that we report on the fatality of a staff member and serious injury to a contractor's staff member that occurred at Houston Airport, USA while we were overseeing the construction of an Automated People Mover. We have carried out our own investigation, in addition to cooperating with the relevant authorities and we have subsequently implemented changes to systems and procedures as a consequence.
We report accidents and incidents for staff, contractors and joint ventures, and in situations where we are principal contractor. The Accident Incident Rate (AIR) is used to measure our accident performance for staff and contractors. We set our own challenging AIR benchmarks based on a reduction from the previous year of 5% for office, engineering and for construction. The AIR benchmarks (number of accidents per 100,000 staff or contractors) for 2011 are 132 for office, 273 for engineering and 1,373 for construction.
The overall performance was within our AIR benchmarks, with the exception of staff in the engineering category where it was just exceeded. We are pleased with the improvements made for staff in the construction category, reflecting our continued effort to improve safety. Our AIR performance continues to be better than the industry averages compiled by the HSE in its Labour Force Survey (see figure 1). We continue to actively encourage the reporting of incidents and near misses as a positive step towards accident prevention. This year 1,814 near misses were reported compared to 1,227 in 2010 demonstrating increased awareness of the importance of safety reporting.

- AIR = number of accidents per 100,000 staff or contractors.
- HSE Labour Force Survey results are the three-year average results for occupations: administrative and secretarial for Office, science and technology for Engineering, and construction trades for Construction.
We have taken a more proactive approach to measuring our safety performance with the introduction of the Atkins safety maturity model. This supports our vision for safety to become totally embedded within our culture and become a natural consideration. The maturity model introduces four levels on the journey to natural safety, starting at unaware, moving through compliance to proactive, and then reaching the natural stage. Each business can benchmark against the model to determine its maturity level and therefore identify the improvements required to move to the next level. Last year, we established through a benchmarking exercise, that our businesses worldwide are either at compliance or proactive levels.
All our operations, apart from those that we recently acquired in North America1, are covered by the OHSAS 18001 specification.
Atkins Limited in the UK achieved a Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Gold award for the second year, and our asset management business in the UK achieved an Order of Distinction for the 24th year running. We have also achieved a Gold RoSPA award for outstanding safety performance through ACKtiv, a nuclear joint venture that we are part of alongside Carillion and Jacobs.
Regulatory activity
During the year, we recorded 11 visits by enforcement authorities. An improvement notice was served on Atkins Limited in the UK. This related to undertaking the construction design and management coordinator role which requires the introduction of a system of management and control to ensure information is passed from client to principal contractor. A detailed investigation was carried out and improvements were made to our internal processes. The feedback from HSE is that we exceeded its expectations in addressing the issues and no further action was taken.
In North America, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued three regulatory citations but these are currently being contested through the formal dispute process.
We have not been prosecuted for any breaches of health and safety regulations.

The safety target for last year was to measure our safety culture in the UK and Bangalore. Safety, health and environment (SHE) culture surveys were undertaken as part of the two-year Group wide rolling programme, which gave us the opportunity to compare the information with previous surveys. Over 4,100 employees responded to both surveys. When compared to the previous surveys for the UK (November 2008) and the Bangalore office (May 2009) the results are similar. Our commitment to safety remains strong and we have a positive safety culture. In 2011/12 the survey will be extended to our non-UK locations to reflect our geographic footprint. |
- Following the acquisition of PBSJ on 1 October 2010, a phased three-year programme was developed for our North America region to embed Atkins' corporate responsibility policies.

After having served in Al-Anbar Province, Iraq in 2006 during a heightened phase of the insurgency, it is hard for me to picture no U.S. troops there. But that is exactly what President Obama has accomplished, just as he promised while running for office. When he came into office, we had 150,000 troops on duty in Iraq, and by the end of this year, all of our nation's troops will be back home from Iraq. Not only that, but President Obama is also drawing down the troops in Afghanistan – I can't wait for the announcement that they are all coming home too.

I hope Scott Harry and crewSubmitted by NHHS Wildcat (not verified) on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 9:59pm.
I hope Scott Harry and crew will reveal how the city has dropped an enormous amount of money on this project yet refuses to address at this time the low wages of its employees. They are well aware that the working force is way below fair market rate with their salaries. They rejected just about every pay appeal that was filed last month and continue to fan the flames of a plummeting morale issue. Voters, support your fire, police and other city employees. Vote NO on the stadium tax. Your tax dollars could be better spent in other areas. »

Other Sports
Cardinals struggle in loss to Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas — Hank Blalock hit his second career grand slam and drove in five runs, and Ryan Drese pitched seven strong innings in the Texas Rangers 7-2 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night.
Drese (3-3) won for the first time since beating Tampa Bay on May 5. He allowed two runs, one earned, and allowed four hits against a St. Louis offense that came in tied for the National League lead in runs scored.
Missouri's Uldal finishes fifth in NCAA decathlon
Missouri decathlete Hans Uldal's finish did not represent his second day as a whole, but he managed to land a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Track and Field Championships in Austin, Texas, on Saturday.
Uldal fell twice as his legs buckled on the homestretch during the final event, the 1,500 meters, but he dragged himself across the finish line. He finished with 7,661 points and led four Tiger All-Americans.
Hagan tests golfers
He has conquered junior high and is moving on to high school but not before he meets the upperclassmen of the golfing community in Columbia.
Nick Wilson, 14, is the youngest player in the Francis Hagan Match Play Championship that starts Saturday. He will face such Francis Hagan veterans as Tim Rooney, Joe Bellmer and David McDonald.
MU's Stockard 11th in heptathlon
Missouri's Jessica Stockard finished 11th in the heptathlon Thursday at the NCAA Track and Field Championships in Austin, Texas. Stockard, a sophomore scored 5,257 points.
On Thursday, she finished fourth in the 200 meters in 24.70 and sixth in the 800 meters in 2:20.35. She was 12th in the long jump and 26th in the javelin throw.
Cardinals slam Cubs
CHICAGO — A grand slam, a bunch of runs and some tight pitches that caused a bench-clearing fracas.
St. Louis' 12-4 victory Wednesday was just another day in the old, heated rivalry between the Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs.
Jones inquiry continues
Although Marion Jones was not among four athletes to receive letters of possible drug violations, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency isn't done with her.
The sweeping drug scandal, which has taken down four top track athletes, threatens to bar several more, and the sport's biggest star, Jones, remains under investigation.
Mavericks defeat Grizzlies for third victory
The Mid-Missouri Mavericks routed the Gateway Grizzlies 10-3 on Wednesday in Sauget, Ill.
The Mavericks (3-16) scored in the first five innings to build 6-3 lead and had five consecutive hits in a four-run seventh. The Mavericks outhit the Grizzlies 14-8.
Final title shot for Strickland
Missouri senior Janae Strickland is no stranger to success. It runs in the family.
Strickland's mom, Lorinda Strickland, is former track star and Missouri record holder, setting the long jump record of 20 feet, 11 ½ inches in 1985 as Lorinda Richardson.
Mavs' rally falters
The hitting started too late for the Mid-Missouri Mavericks on Tuesday.
As a result, the Springfield-Ozark Ducks defeated the Mavericks 10-5 at Taylor Stadium. The Mavericks also lost the series 2-1. The Mavericks scored their first run in the eighth inning, when they trailed 9-0.
Cantwell named athlete of week
Christian Cantwell, a former Missouri athlete, was named USA Track and Field athlete of the week.
At the Adidas Oregon Track Classic on June 5, Cantwell threw a 2004 leading mark and meet record of 73 feet, 11 ½ inches.
MLB drafts three Tigers
Three Missouri baseball players are one step closer to making it to the big leagues.
Danny Hill, Garrett Broshuis and Cody Ehlers were selected on the first day of the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft on Monday.
Ducks stop Mavs
The Mid-Missouri Mavericks might need to calm down on the bases.
The Springfield-Ozark Ducks defeated the Mavericks 6-4 on Monday night at Taylor Stadium to tie the series at 1. The Mavericks (2-15) had three players picked off in the game.
The first champs
Since the Missouri football team played its first intercollegiate game in 1890, there has been one team that brought a national championship to Columbia.
In 1954, the Missouri baseball team won the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., to become MU's only team champion. John "Hi" Simmons coached the young team that had three seniors, including shortstop Dick "Scooter" Dickinson.
Mavs look for fresh start
Everything worked well for the Mid-Missouri Mavericks on Sunday.
The Mavericks routed the Springfield-Ozark Ducks 12-5 at Taylor Stadium, getting 16 hits and scoring in five consecutive innings.
'54 memories linger
There was no tickertape parade awaiting the 1954 baseball team when it returned from Omaha, Neb., as the national champion.
Although there was heavy coverage in the newspapers, it was mid-June and the students were on summer break. None of the players remember a great celebration after the game and many did not make the trip back to Columbia, leaving to play semipro baseball for the summer.
Title never in doubt for Tigers
Senior Dick Dickinson gave the 1954 team a stern warning before it reached Omaha, Neb., for the College World Series.
The Tigers had played on archaic Rollins Field all season and Dickinson, who had been to Rosenblatt Stadium as a sophomore when Missouri lost 8-4 to Holy Cross in the championship game, knew what awaited them.
Tigers' slow start ends their season
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Missouri had its share of situations this season where things looked hopeless and the season seemed over.
This time, though, the magic ran out.
Vianney earns crown
The Vianney Golden Griffins started celebrating a little early.
The team rushed out of the dugout in the bottom of the seventh inning just as catcher Jason Hagerty dropped a pop fly everyone thought would be the final out. Vianney had to wait two more batters before winning on an out at first.
Kewpies fall in Paulsen's finale
FENTON – Coach Sandy Paulsen couldn't hold back her tears after the game Saturday.
It wasn't because the Hickman girls' soccer team lost to Blue Springs 3-2 in the third-place match of the Class 2 state championships at Anheuser-Busch Center.
Pelfrey's pitching shocks Tigers
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – When Wichita State coach Gene Stephenson came to substitute pitcher Mike Pelfrey with two outs in the ninth inning against Missouri, the sophomore shrugged and trotted off the field. This wasn't a pitching change of desperation.
Pelfrey had thrown 8 2/3 innings of shutout, dominating baseball.

Abetone is known for their mushrooms so while there make sure to order as much as you can with mushrooms. My favorite while in abetone is the pasta with mushrooms and truffles at the restaurant in the Hotel Regina. The pasta is served as a starter but is more than big enough to suffice as a whole meal.

Recent Tucson reviews
"What a wonderful welcome and introduction to Tucson! The Ocotillo House provided a cozy, comfortable and very convenient home for my wife and me during a very happy Thanksgiving visit with our daughter's family. Everything about our stay was easy – the beds were comfortable, the kitchen efficient, the living room inviting to us as well as our three very young grandchildren. The central location made getting around town a breeze, and even led to cheerful walks around the neighborhood and to the historic Arizona Inn nearby. The house's decor and history were an added plus, but just added to the comfort factor. We're looking forward to future visits!"
"Having lived in Tucson in the mid 80s (before Starr Pass was developed) I thought the Catalina Foothills was the nicest area. I stand corrected. Starr Pass is where you want to be. It is a short drive to the University, the newly improved downtown area, Gates Pass and arguably the most beautiful area on earth, Saguaro National Monument. The Owl Casista is spacious, well appointed, nicely decorated and the beds and linens were top notch! While I did not golf, the course looked remarkable! It is a huge plus having convenient access to the Marriott. The hotel is gorgeous and the food is remarkable and reasonably priced. It is a nature lovers dream. Just off the porch we saw wild quail, humming birds and a couple of coyotes. The owner is super responsive. When my wife forgot her hair dryer, I texted her asking if they had one. To my surprise, one was delivered to our door hours later! I will definitely be back!!!"

Nowadays, the Differential Transformation Method (DTM) is widely used in ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations. Basically, the DTM is a numerical method based on the Taylor series expansion. Via this method, the analytical solutions are constructed in the form of a polynomial. Instead of evaluating the derivatives symbolically, this method calculates the relative derivatives by an iteration procedure describe by the transformed equations. Previous studies show that the differential transformation method is a powerful method having high accuracy to solve lower order boundary value problem and higher order boundary value problems for linear and nonlinear differential equations. In the present study, we solve system of linear differential equations by using DTM. To illustrate the accuracy of the method we provide several numerical examples and compare the results with their exact solutions.

I am always surprised to come across restaurants in unlikely places with excellent wines. For example, last night I took some friends to dinner at La Cucina di Danielle in Mykonos, and we drank some extraordinary wines from the restaurant's wine list, including 2002 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Vieilles Vignes , 2000 Domenico Clerico Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra , and 1997 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto.

Oregon's potential for Pinot Noir has long attracted winemakers from elsewhere. The earliest guys, including David Lett, Dick Erath and Dick Ponzi, came from California in the 1970s. Robert Drouhin from Burgundy made his first vintage at Domaine Drouhin Oregon in 1988.

Minnesota above average in pedestrian safety; rural areas deadlier
Crossing the street in Greater Minnesota can be more deadly than on the busier avenues of the Twin Cities. That's according to a report released this week by Transportation for America.
It says the pedestrian death rate was above the national average in Cass, Becker and Itasca Counties between 2000-2009. The report also includes an interactive map that allows searching for pedestrian deaths near any town in the U.S.

Motorola dct6412 hdmi input?
I would like to hook my computer up to my system so I can get sound through the stereo, not the tv.
Currently, when I watch a movie from my computer, I run an HDMI cable directly from the laptop to the tv. This is fine. But, I would also Like to have surround sound so I would like to hook it up to my DVR. My receiver -Onkyo - doesn't have an hdmi port. Is there a way to do this? My blu ray has hdmi as well. I'm assuming these are all outputs though. Any ideas would be a great help! |

They are all outputs. You could see if the PC allows you to use a digital (optical?) output for sound to your AVR in addition to HDMI for video.
Your BD player should have a digital output (coaxial or optical) which you should be able to feed to the AVR. Another option might be to connect HDMI to the TV and then use the TV's optical output to the AVR. However, this may only give 2 channel or no sound at all, as discussed in the following FAQ - depends on the make/model of the TV: Two channel audio can be processed by the AVR into surround sound, so even analogue outputs from say the PC could be used to give you surround sound by invoking say Dolby Pro-Logic II to the incoming signal. This often does quite a good job if none of the other options work or are of interest at this time until you get an AVR with HDMI inputs that handle HDMI audio. http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=17870 Here's a post useful for those new to this - FAQs, Search Tips, Optimization, etc: http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=57741

The Environmental Protection Agency has $2 million for rebates to encourage emissions retrofitting on diesel construction engines.
The rebates are being offered as part of an ongoing EPA program, the Diesel Emission Reduction Act, that has awarded more than $500 million in retrofit support over the past five years.
"These rebates will help equipment owners protect public health and improve air quality near construction sites while updating their fleets," said Janet McCabe, acting assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation.
The agency is encouraging construction equipment owners in counties that don't meet air quality standards to apply for the rebates. It will be accepting applications through January 15, 2014 and anticipates awarding the rebates in February 2014.
For more information, go to the EPA website.

San Francisco, Calif., September 1, 2011--The CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts will present the exhibition More American Photographs from October 4 through December 17, 2011, in the Logan Galleries of California College of the Arts, 1111 Eighth Street, San Francisco. The exhibition is curated by Jens Hoffmann, director of the Wattis Institute. It is free and open to the public, with an opening reception on Tuesday, October 4, from 6-8 p.m.
As the United States slowly recovers from its most significant economic downturn since the Great Depression, the Wattis Institute reexamines the well-known 1935-44 photography program of the Farm Security Administration (FSA), which employed such iconic artists as Walker Evans, Ben Shahn, Dorothea Lange, and Marion Post Wolcott. Inspired by their example, the Wattis commissioned 12 contemporary photographers to travel the United States, documenting its land and people. In the exhibition, the new images will be presented alongside a number of photographs by the FSA photographers.
The FSA was implemented as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, a program that sought to create relief, recovery, and reform after the devastating years of the Great Depression. Over a period of almost nine years, headed by Roy Stryker, director of the Historical Section, the FSA employed a number of photographers, tasking them with bringing to light the "third of a nation" that President Roosevelt defined as "ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished." Many of the 250,000 FSA photographs have endured and become iconic. Stryker prepared the photographers with shooting scripts, listing all of the subjects he wanted pictures of for his famous "file": "chicken dinners," "18th Amendment," "corner drug store." These notes led to incredibly thorough and engaging photographic documentation of American culture and habits in the 1930s and 1940s. The Wattis Institute employed Stryker's scripts and borrowed from his methodology to brief the contemporary photographers.
