Addressing the earthquake's impact on Corning's facility in Japan, Weeks noted that "the restart of our Shizuoka plant is on track" and added that the facility is restarting capacity this month, with more planned in October. He also said that the company undertook additional efforts to ease some of the impact from the disruption by restarting production units in Taiwan that it originally planned to have available later this year. The company noted it has been allocating capacity to its customers, but customer demand still exceeds its ability to supply. The company expects that the rebuild at Shizuoka will result in approximately $22 million in incremental accelerated depreciation charges in the third quarter.
The company now anticipates sequential volume at its wholly owned business to be down less than 5% sequentially in the third quarter, vs. its previous estimate of a 5-10% decrease. At Samsung Corning Precision Glass Co., Ltd. (SCP), the company's equity company, third quarter volume guidance remains unchanged at flat to up slightly sequentially. The company estimates the sales impact from the disruption will be about $25 million in the third quarter. The impact of the disruption has been partially mitigated by restarted production in Taiwan. The net impact to corporate gross margin will be approximately 2% in the third quarter, primarily related to the incremental accelerated depreciation.
The display supply chain "is expanding in preparation for what we now believe will be a stronger fourth quarter than we previously thought," said Weeks. "As a result, we now anticipate worldwide glass demand in the fourth quarter will be as strong as the third quarter." The company has not finalized its fourth quarter outlook, but at this time believes volume at both its wholly owned business and SCP will be flat to up slightly vs. the third quarter. The company also expects fourth quarter glass pricing to be flat sequentially.
On the retail front, Weeks reported that "LCD TV demand continues to be robust." Preliminary retail data provided by NPD, an independent consumer market research firm, suggests that U.S. LCD TV unit sales in August increased 14% over last year. "We were encouraged by the week-to-week trend, which showed significant year-over-year growth in the third week of August," said Weeks. "We believe this step-up in demand was the result of strong back-to-school sales." Similarly, August unit sales increased in Japan by 57%, as indicated by independent research firm BCN.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday referred the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case to the Constitution bench. The Constitution bench will now decide as to which will be the appropriate government to decide on remission to the assassins.
The apex court said that the issue of such nature has been raised for the first time and so it has to be decided by a Constitution bench.
The Centre had filed a petition challenging the Tamil Nadu government's authority in ordering the release of all seven convicts, a day after the Supreme Court rejected its appeal against the commutation of death sentence to three convicts in the case. The court had in February commuted the death penalty of Rajiv Gandhi's assassins to life imprisonment on grounds of delay in deciding their mercy plea.
The Centre had in March told the Supreme Court that the Tamil Nadu government's decision to grant remission of sentence to the convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case was selective and in derogation of the rights of the victims. The Centre had told the apex court bench of Chief Justice P Sathasivam, Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice NV Ramana that "the decision of the state of Tamil Nadu to grant remission selectively is, apart from being excess of jurisdiction, also violative of Article 14 of the Constitution".
It had said the decision fails to take into account that "as many as 18 innocent lives were lost and over 200 people were injured as a result of the human bomb". The Centre had said the action of the state was in "derogation and breach of Article 21, rights of the family and victims".
Terming the decision as "hasty and malafide", it had told the apex court that it was seeking to intervene against the unauthorised act of the state government. The Tamil Nadu government had said it had sought the views of the Centre on its decision to release the seven convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case and the proposal could not be challenged before the court.
Senior counsel Mukul Rohtagi, appearing for the state, told the apex court, "You can't challenge a letter expressing a view."
The state, in its response to the Centre's Feb 20 plea to the Supreme Court challenging Tamil Nadu's decision, reiterated its power to grant remission to the seven convicts and said the Centre had no fundamental right to challenge its decision. The apex court had on Feb 27 blocked the release of four convicts and said it will lay down the procedure for states to follow for granting remission to prisoners undergoing life term on the commutation of their death sentences. The release of other three key conspirators was earlier suspended by the apex court on Feb 20.

"The protein is made of different groups of atoms, and the different groups can be thought of as springs," Gai said. "Each spring has a different frequency with which it moves back and forth, which is based on the mass of the atom on either end. If the mass is bigger, the spring oscillates slower. Our 'camera' can detect the speed of that motion and we can relate it to the atoms it is made of and how that segment of the protein chain moves."
Even in a simple protein like Trp-cage, however, there are many identical bonds, and the researchers need to be able to distinguish one from another in order to see which of them are moving while the protein folds. One strategy they used to get around this problem was to employ the molecular equivalent of a tracking device.
"We use an amino acid with a carbon isotope marker," Culik said. "If it's incorporated into the protein correctly, we'll know where it is."
With a single carbon atom of the Trp-cage slightly heavier than the others, the research team can use its signature to infer the position of the other atoms as they fold. The researchers could then "tune" the frequency of their laser to match different parts of the protein, allowing them to isolate them in their analyses.
Similar isotopes could be inserted in more complicated molecules, allowing their folds to also be viewed with infrared spectroscopy.
"This technique enhances our structural resolution. It allows us to see which part is moving," Gai said. "That would allow us to see exactly how a protein is misfolding in a disease, for example."

Job Loss
I lost my job. What can I do?
In addition to the counseling services and job listings available to alums through the Center for Career Services and Cooperative Education, what follows are some strategies for dealing with job loss as well as some links that identify sources of support and information that we hope will be of additional help during this difficult economic period.
1. Give yourself some time to grieve what you have lost. You have every right to be "thrown" by this situation. Spend time with your family and those who will support you. Do assess your financial situation but give yourself some "breathing space."
2. Once you have applied for unemployment compensation and health coverage (instructions in the links below) and handled your survival needs, it is time to start attempting to find a new position.
3. Call on your network for ideas and support. The network you have built throughout your career – something you should never stop doing, even while employed – can be an invaluable resource at this time. Start dialing everyone you know to ask for advice, referrals and assistance. Talk to your religious leader. Some congregations have joined together to help members find employment. Your hair stylist, coach, dentist, doctor – all know lots of people. Let them know what has happened and ask for their help.
4.Take advantage of this period of your life to assess where you are in your career. Do you like your work? Would you prefer something else? Do you want a different career that requires another degree? (Check out our graduate programs.) What would you really love to be doing? You are welcome to talk this over with a Center counselor but it's also a good idea to find a source of ongoing support through a group such as the Job Seekers of Montclair.
5. Be sure that your resume is updated. Use Optimal Resume to create a new document and if you haven't written a resume in a long time, go to our Workshops page to listen to an online tutorial. Practice your interviewing skills using InterviewPrep to actually see and hear yourself being interviewed.
6. Start looking at the want ads in professional journals as well as visiting niche job listing sites, specific to your own profession. (Use Riley Guide to identify those websites.) Be sure to register with our online job listing system, Career Directions. Employers do look to us for experienced personnel.
7. Try to keep a positive attitude. Be with people who cheer you, who nourish you. While some depression is certainly understandable from time to time, if you find yourself continually sad, do get help. Even the bad times pass – we are hopeful that the economy will improve and with it the job market. Try to take care and maintain a positive attitude.
8. Really helpful websites:

Marketplace for 7/17/2013 - Are bank profits a good thing?
Episode Teaser Image
Episode Description
Fed chairman Ben Bernanke is visiting Capitol Hill to explain to Congress the nation's monetary policy and the Fed's outlook on reducing economic stimulus. Wall Street is watching closely. But the financial world is also paying attention to bank earnings: Bank of America is the latest major U.S. bank to report good news on that front. But for the rest of us, do bank earnings mean anything for our well-being? Also, Google is reportedly in talks to stream TV channels over the internet. The future of TV may just be, simply, the internet.

Soft poly with good spin?

There are numerous schools of thought on this issue. I for one string the more elastic string at a higher tension. I do NOT however string mains and crosses differently if using a full bed. I play poly/syn or poly/gut, and I play my poly in the high 40s. While syn gut is not very powerful, it is far less stiff than poly so I want to try and make a more uniform stringbed stiffness. Now, to be fair, the stringbed stiffness IS uniform no matter what and you'll never match the stiffness of the mains' contribution to that of the crosses presuming a poly hybrid. This is especially the case when using natural gut. To me it basically comes down to the fact that normally, you wouldn't play a synthetic in the low 50s or high 40s, but you shouldn't string it at your normal 58 when you want to play poly at 50. You'll get a very interesting head shape if you did that. So, by upping that tension, you get the elastic string closer to the range it was "meant" to be played in. I have done it both ways (tension same on both m/c) and truth be told found no difference in playability. It's more of habit now. On Yonex frames, the story is different, as you are meant to lower the crosses.

Jizzax Province (Uzbek: Jizzax viloyati / Жиззах вилояти) is a viloyat (province) o Uzbekistan locatit in the center o the kintra.

Williston superintendent leaving for Lexington District 2
After two years in Williston, District 29 Superintendent Dr. Tom Siler is leaving for a job in Lexington County.
On July 23, the Lexington District 2 Board of Trustees unanimously approved to hire Siler as their next superintendent.
Siler won't officially assume the helm of the district until current superintendent Dr. Venus Holland retires at the end of the 2014-15 school year. However, he is expected to start in mid-September as superintendent-elect in order to work with Holland, build relationships, and plan a "smooth transition" before he starts in June 2015, according to a press release on Lexington 2's website.
"We are very excited to have Dr. Siler join the district in this leadership position. His deep background in education and positive energy will be a tremendous asset to the community and keep us moving forward in an educational environment that is constantly evolving," said Bill Bingham, chairman of the Lexington District 2 Board, in the release.
Siler, who has been Williston's superintendent since 2012, said he's enjoyed his time in District 29, especially the people, and helping move it forward. "The district will continue to be a leader for Barnwell County," said Siler, citing its solid financial ground and strong academics. "I hope they continue to keep pace with the need for students to be college and career ready."
While he'll soon be leaving Williston, Siler said District 29 has a great staff in place to help the district as continue to prosper during this transition. "There are great plans in place for moving forward," such as working toward districtwide accreditation through AdvancEd, upgrading technology, and studying the district's facility needs.
Lexington 2 also has some big plans coming up, such as a $228 million bond issue on the November ballot and a 1 percent sales tax to help with district needs. "I want to help carry them through that," said Siler of Lexington 2, which encompasses West Columbia, Pine View, Cayce and Springdale.
He was also attracted to the district because it's in an area that's experiencing significant growth in businesses and runs along the Congaree River, a place he loves. The move also places him in the same county as his family. His wife and daughter both teach in Lexington District 1 while his son teaches in Lexington 5.
While a formal contract with Lexington District 2 is in the works for Siler, his contract with District 29 goes through June 30, 2017.
The District 29 board has not met since the announcement of Siler's hiring in Lexington, but he said they are tentatively planning a meeting for next Tuesday, August 5, to discuss "personnel matters" related to his departure.

Export Trade Activities and Methods of Operation
CA-PEQ seeks certification for the following conduct:
1. The conduct of an open tender process for the award of shares of
the tariff rate quota for chicken leg quarters in El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua;
2. The award of certificates for eligibility to enter chicken leg
quarters into El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua subject to
zero duties;
3. The collection and management of funds bid in the open tender
process; and
4. The distribution of the proceeds of the open tender process to
support the operation and administration of CA-PEQ and to fund
promotional, educational, scientific and technical projects for the
benefit of the poultry industries of the United States of America, El
Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.
1. Purpose. CA-PEQ will manage on an open tender basis the tariff-
rate quotas (TRQs) for poultry products granted by El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua to the United States under the terms
of the United States-Central American Free Trade Agreement (``CAFTA'')
or any amended or successor agreement providing for Central American
poultry TRQs for the United States of America. CA-PEQ also will provide
for distributions of the proceeds received from the tender process
based on exports of poultry (``the TRQ System'') for the benefit of the
poultry industries in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and
the United States.
2. Implementation.
A. Administrator. CA-PEQ shall contract with a neutral third party
Administrator who is not engaged in the production, sale, distribution
or export of poultry or poultry products and who shall bear
responsibility for administering the TRQ System, subject to general
supervision and oversight by the Board of Directors of CA-PEQ.
B. Membership. CA-PEQ's initial members under this certificate are
the USA Poultry and Egg Export Council (``USAPEEC'') on behalf of the
U.S. poultry industry; by Asociacion Nacional de Avicultores de
Guatemala (``ANAVI'') on behalf of the Guatemalan poultry industry; by
Asociacion Nacional de Avicultores de El Salvador (``AVES'') on behalf
of the Salvadoran poultry industry; and by Asociacion Nacional de
Avicultores y Productores de Alimentos de Nicaragua (``ANAPA'') on
behalf of the Nicaraguan poultry industry.
C. Open Tender Process. CA-PEQ shall offer TRQ Certificates for
duty-free shipments of chicken leg quarters to El Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras and Nicaragua solely and exclusively through an open tender
process with certificates awarded to the highest bidders (``TRQ
Certificates''). CA-PEQ shall hold tenders in accordance with tranches
established in the relevant regulations of El Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras or Nicaragua, or in the absence of such, at least three times
each year. The award of TRQ Certificates under the open tender process
shall be determined solely by the Administrator in accordance with
Section I without any participation by the Board of Directors.
D. Persons or Entities Eligible to Bid. Any person or entity
incorporated or domiciled in the United States of America shall be
eligible to bid in the open tender process.
E. Notice. The Administrator shall publish notice (``Notice'') of
each open tender process to be held to award TRQ Certificates in the
Journal of Commerce and, at the discretion of the Administrator, in
other publications of general circulation within the U.S. poultry
industry. The Notice will invite independent bids and will specify (i)
the total amount (in metric tons) that will be allocated pursuant to
the applicable tender; (ii) the shipment period for which the TRQ
Certificates will be valid; and (iii) the date and time by which all
bids must be received by the Administrator in order to be considered
(the ``Bid Date''); and (iv) a minimum bid amount per ton, as
established by the Board of Directors, to ensure the costs of
administering the auction are recovered. The Notice normally will be
published not later than 30 business days prior to the first day of the
shipment period and will specify a Bid Date that is at least 10
business days after the date of publication of the Notice. The Notice
will specify the format for bid submissions. Bids must be received by
the Administrator not later than 5 p.m. EST on the Bid Date.
F. Contents of Bid. The bid shall be in a format established by the
Administrator and shall state (i) the name, address, telephone and
facsimile numbers, and e-mail address of the bidder; (ii) the quantity
of poultry bid, in an amount that is a multiple of 25 metric tons;
(iii) the bid price in U.S.
[[Page 69141]]
dollars per metric ton; and (iv) the total value of the bid. The bid
form shall contain a provision, that must be signed by the bidder,
agreeing that (i) any dispute that may arise relating to the bidding
process or to the award to TRQ Certificates shall be settled by
arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in
accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules; and (ii) judgment on
any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.
G. Performance Security. The bidder shall submit with each bid a
performance bond, irrevocable letter of credit drawn on a U.S. bank,
cashier's check, wire transfer or equivalent security, in a form
approved and for the benefit of an account designated by the
Administrator, in the amount of $50,000 or the total value of the bid,
whichever is less. The bidder shall forfeit such performance security
if the bidder fails to pay for any TRQ Certificates awarded within five
(5) business days. The bidder may chose to apply the performance
security to the price of any successful bid, or to retain the
performance security for a subsequent open tender process. Promptly
after the close of the open tender process, the Administrator shall
return any unused or non-forfeited security to the bidder.
H. Confidentiality of Bids. The Administrator shall treat all bids
and their contents as confidential. The Administrator shall disclose
information about bids only to another neutral third party and only as
necessary to ensure the effective operation of the TRQ System. However,
after the issuance of all TRQ Certificates from an open tender process,
the Administrator shall notify all bidders and shall disclose publicly
(i) the total tonnage for which TRQ Certificates were awarded, and (ii)
the lowest price per metric ton of all successful bids.
I. Award of TRQ Certificates. The Administrator shall award TRQ
Certificates for the available tonnage to the bidders who have
submitted the highest price conforming bids. If two or more bidders
have submitted bids with identical prices, the Administrator shall
divide the remaining available tonnage in proportion to the quantities
of their bids, and offer each TRQ Certificates in the resulting
tonnages. If any bidder declines all or part of the tonnage offered,
the Administrator shall offer that tonnage first to the other tying
bidders, and then to the next highest bidder.
J. Payment for TRQ Certificates. Promptly after being notified of a
TRQ award and within the time specified in the Notice, the bidder shall
pay the full amount of the bid, either by wire transfer or by certified
check, to an account designated by the Administrator. If the bidder
fails to make payment within five (5) days, the Administrator shall
revoke the award and award the tonnage to the next highest bidder(s).
K. Delivery of TRQ Certificates. The Administrator shall establish
an account for each successful bidder in the amount of tonnage
available for TRQ Certificates. Upon request, the Administrator will
issue TRQ Certificates in the tonnage designated by the bidder,
consistent with the balance in that account. The TRQ Certificate shall
state the delivery period for which it is valid.
L. Transferability. TRQ Certificates shall be freely transferable
except that (i) any TRQ Certificate holder who intends to sell,
transfer or assign any rights under that Certificate shall publish such
intention on a Web site maintained by the Administrator at least three
(3) business days prior to any sale, transfer or assignment; and (ii)
any TRQ holder that sells, transfers or assigns its rights under a TRQ
Certificate shall provide the Administrator with notice and a copy of
the sale, transfer or assignment within three (3) business days.
M. Deposit of Proceeds: The Administrator shall cause all proceeds
of the open tender process to be deposited in an interest-bearing
account in a financial institution approved by the CA-PEQ Board of
N. Disposition of Proceeds. The proceeds of the open tender process
shall be applied and distributed as follows:
i. The Administrator shall pay from tender proceeds, as they become
available, all operating expenses of CA-PEQ, including legal,
accounting and administrative costs of establishing and operating the
TRQ System, as authorized by the Board of Directors.
ii. Of the proceeds remaining at the end of each year of operations
after all costs described in (i) above have been paid:
1. Fifty percent (50%) shall be distributed to fund export market
development, educational, scientific and technical projects to benefit
the United States poultry industry. CA-PEQ shall accept proposals for
the funding of projects approved by the Board of Directors of USAPEEC.
The Administrator shall disburse funds to those projects approved for
funding by the CA-PEQ Board of Directors.
2. Fifty percent (50%) shall be distributed to fund market
development, educational, scientific and technical projects to benefit
the poultry industries of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and
Nicaragua. CA-PEQ shall accept proposals for funding of projects
approved by the Boards of Directors of ANAVI, AVES and ANAPA, as the
case may be. The Administrator shall disburse funds to those projects
approved for funding by the CA-PEQ Board of Directors.
O. Arbitration of Disputes. Any dispute, controversy or claim
arising out of or relating to the TRQ System or the breach thereof,
including inter alia, a Member's qualification for distribution,
interpretation of documents, or of the distribution itself, shall be
settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration
Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and
judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.
P. Confidential Information. The Administrator shall maintain as
confidential all export documentation or other business sensitive
information submitted in connection with application for CA-PEQ
membership, bidding in the open tender process or requests for
distribution of proceeds, where such documents or information has been
marked ``Confidential'' by the person making the submission. The
Administrator shall disclose such information only to another neutral
third party or authorized government official of signatories to the
CAFTA, and only where necessary to ensure the effective operation of
the TRQ System or where required by law (including appropriate
disclosure in connection with the arbitration of a dispute).
Q. Annual Reports. CA-PEQ shall publish an annual report including
a statement of its operating expenses and data on the distribution of
proceeds, as reflected in the audited financial statement of the CA-PEQ
TRQ System.
3. Cooperation with the U.S. Government and with the Governments of
El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. CA-PEQ will provide
whatever information or consultations may be useful in order to ensure
effective consultations between the government of the United States of
America and the governments of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and
Nicaragua concerning the implementation and operation of the TRQ
System. In particular, while maintaining the confidentiality of
information submitted by bidders and Members, CA-PEQ will provide its
annual report, regular reports following each tender held, reports on
[[Page 69142]]
distributions of tender proceeds, and any other information that might
be requested by the U.S. Government. Directly or through the U.S.
Government, CA-PEQ will endeavor to accommodate any information request
from the governments of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua,
while protecting confidential information; and will consult with
officials of those governments as appropriate.
Miscellaneous Implementing Provisions. CA-PEQ and/or its Members
may (i) meet, discuss and provide for an administrative structure to
implement the foregoing tariff-rate quota management system, assess its
operations and discuss modifications as necessary to improve its
workability; (ii) meet, exchange and discuss information regarding the
structure and method for implementing the foregoing tariff-rate quota
management system; (iii) meet, exchange and discuss the types of
information needed regarding the bidding process and distribution of
the bid proceeds, that are necessary for implementation of the system;
(iv) meet, exchange and discuss information regarding U.S. and foreign
government agreements, legislation and regulations affecting the tariff
rate quota management system; and (v) otherwise meet, discuss and
exchange information as necessary to implement the activities described
above and take the necessary action to implement the foregoing tariff-
rate quota management system.

Minnesota Vikings owner Zygi and Mark Wilf stood on the field before Sunday's game between the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Not long ago my wife and I refinanced our condo down at the credit union.
The loan officer pushed some papers across the desk and asked that we fill them out. The forms asked some basic questions about our fiscal situation, such as how much money we made, how much we had saved and how much we owed.
"Don't worry," I said, pushing the blank papers back. "We're good for it."
"OK then," said the banker. "Nice doing business with you."
Thank goodness I wasn't a billionaire who had just gotten a large handout from the taxpayers.
Unlike Vikings owner Zygi Wilf, the rest of us realize that certain people get to paw through our finances. Last week he claimed in a New Jersey court that an "anti-wealth bias" was behind efforts to get him to disclose his net worth in a lawsuit.
Wilf continues to argue that making his worth public would "pose a serious threat to me and my family" and that "malicious individuals" could target them for "home invasions, kidnappings and extortion attempts — due solely to public knowledge of their financial resources."
Meanwhile, here in flyover land, the Wilfs were telling the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority that everyone knows they are filthy rich, so they shouldn't have to prove they can cover their share of the new Vikings stadium.
I hope no malicious individuals were listening.
The commission hired a law firm to do a quick check of the Wilf's finances. The firm agreed, without making their findings public: Trust us, said the law firm: They're loaded.
I don't disagree, and I don't doubt the Wilfs can pay their share of the new stadium. In fact, they got such a sweet deal that I could probably cover it.
"My sense is that anybody asking for support from the state should supply financial information," said Sen. John Marty, DFL-Roseville. "It's kind of irrelevant since they are not putting much of their own money in it anyway."
But we are being asked to trust the Sports Facilities Authority (which bought the idea that electronic pulltabs would work just swell) and some East Coast guys the court recently said showed "bad faith and evil motive" in their business dealings.
Show me the money.
Wilf's argument that disclosure could harm his family is ridiculous. Malicious individuals don't sit around and say, "Well, he's only worth 700 million, not a billion, so let him be."
An interesting profile of the Wilfs' history in New Jersey ran recently in the New York Observer. They worked hard and amassed great wealth while remaining largely private.
The Observer reporter, Michael Craig, spent months trying to unearth the Wilf back-story. "I don't think Judge Wilson treated the Wilfs any different because they are rich," Craig said in an e-mail. "If the Wilfs are potentially the targets of stalkers or extortionists or thieves, they are already targets."

Highly politicized debates over the federal government's role in protecting the environment — whether it be setting pollution standards or providing renewable energy subsidies — are being distorted and manipulated by the biggest polluters in the country, according to an industry observer speaking Thursday night in Watertown.
"The Republicans have said, 'This is about jobs.' It's not about jobs; it's about profits," environmental writer Bob Deans said at a forum hosted by Jefferson Community College in the Sturtz Theater.
Less than 0.3 percent of jobs in 2010 were lost due to governmental regulation and intervention of all types, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
But federal regulation forces corporations to bear the costs associated with pollution — a byproduct of businesses or everyday activities we conduct.
"The only question is who is going to bear those costs? And if I'm running a corporation, it's in my best interest to say, 'Well, you know I'm not going to bear those costs. Let's just dump it in the river. Let's just dump it in the air. Let's just leave it on the land.' Because then I don't have to pay for it," Mr. Deans said.
But somebody will pay the price – namely our children, our seniors, our lands, our water and our air, he said.
In the past year and a half since the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives, he said, the House has voted hundreds of times to "undermine common sense safeguards" for the sustainable protection of the environment that took decades to put in place by Republicans and Democrats together — effectively channeling the rewards to corporations while asserting the risks onto the greater public and the region in which they conduct business.
"Forty years of progress and 300 votes in committees and the floor of the House to try to undermine these safeguards. It is reckless, it is radical, it is relentless, it's wrong," he said.
Mr. Deans is a veteran journalist who had spent eight years covering the White House and served four years as chief Asia correspondent for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and other Cox newspapers. He is the associate communications director for the Natural Resources Defense Council and a staffer with the NRDC Action Fund.
Industries are now free to spend unlimited millions of dollars attacking our representatives who are "looking out for the best interest of the country and not just the shareholders," Mr. Deans said.
"We have the obligation to stand up to those people and say, 'American democracy is not for sale.'" he said.
The oil industry — beneficiary of $4 billion in annual subsidies and armed with 700 lobbyists in Washington alone — inparticular is trying hard to unseat President Barack Obama and end the federal wind tax credit, he said.
Referring to a Sept. 13 New York Times article, Mr. Deans said the oil industry already has spent more than $153 million on television ads this year aimed at getting Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney elected, nearly four times what their opponents — clean-energy advocates, the Obama campaign and Democratic groups — have spent.
The Obama administration hopes to renew the $12 billion tax credit — which provides 2.2 cents per kilowatt for the first decade of a wind farm's operation — while Mr. Romney wants it to expire this year.
While wind farms aren't the "right fit for everywhere," there are places where wind turbines are appropriate, Mr. Deans said.
For farmers in Colorado and Kansas, these turbines have served as an "economic lifeline" in a year of drought.
Wind energy provides 4 percent of the nation's electricity, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration's August report.
By 2030, Mr. Deans said, the Department of Energy believes wind power can provide 20 percent of our electricity — about the current level provided by nuclear power that has been subsidized by the federal government for more than 60 years.
"It's important that the entire community share the benefits of that wind power," he said. "The places where it has caused all kinds of friction is when a small group of people collect all the benefits."

Processing the trauma of surviving sexual assault at a young age, quitting your unfulfilling day job, and having a baby at home might not seem like an obvious topic pairing, but for writer Corbin Lewars, the real-life experiences were inextricably intertwined.
Carole Joffe's new book Dispatches from the Abortion Wars: The Costs of Fanaticism to Doctors, Patients, and the Rest of Us, she details how many physicians are actively discouraged from incorporating abortion into other forms of medical practice, and the choice to perform abortions in some areas may make practicing any other type of medicine virtually impossible.
In her new book, Gay Fatherhood: Narratives of Family and Citizenship in America, Ellen Lewin investigates the nuances of gay adoption and describes the many challenges gay men face—from the "family values" Right as much as from the "radical queer" Left—as they actively seek to become parents.
In a revised second edition of her groundbreaking book Invisible Girls: The Truth About Sexual Abuse, Dr. Patti Feuereisen explains the intricacies of mentor abuse among the other variants of sexual abuse and assault that many young women face. In the United States alone, at least one in four young women will survive some sort of abuse before she turns eighteen.

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
As an undergraduate major in mathematics, I took a course in Differential Equations, receiving an A. The next year, I was chosen by a Differential Equations professor to grade his students' papers. A year after that, I took a course in Theoretical Physics, which was basically a course in nonlinear partial differential equations.
I majored in math in college and am currently a graduate student. I have taken a number of courses in discrete math, including courses in Logic, Combinatorics, Probability, and Set Theory. I can help you or your student in any of these math subject areas.
I have several years of experience in linear algebra. I have taken an undergraduate course, a graduate level course, courses in ring/field/module theory (which heavily use linear algebra), courses in algebraic number theory (again, uses linear algebra), and more. On top of all that, I'm currently writing a master's thesis in an area of discrete geometry that relies heavily on linear algebra machinery.
Bottom line: I'm very comfortable in linear algebra, and I can provide a lot of help in this area.
In addition to being an aspiring mathematician (which is itself a constant exercise in logic), I have formally taken a few logic courses. I have taken a general introduction to logic, having learned about truth tables and, more generally, classical Boolean logic. Subsequently, I took a course in more obscure logics, including modal logic and temporal logic. On a closely related note, I have taken courses in set theory, Godel's incompleteness theorems, Turing machines/finite automata, and more.

CD/LP/Track Review
- Live at the Plush Room by Michael P. Gladstone
Live at the Plush Room
I've heard Mr. Greensill play piano many times as an accompaniest for his wife, Wesla Whitfield, the San Francisco-based singer who has established herself as a premiere cabaret/jazz vocalist, and as such, Greensill has travelled the world and played some of the most prestigious concert venues as well as pricey clubs. To the best of my knowledge, this is his first recording as a leader.
Mike Greensill opens the album singing Bob Dorough's "I've Got Just About Everything" and closes with "Small Day Tomorrow" by the same composer; he also includes a third vocal interpretation of Dorough's "Better Than Anything." To no one's surprise, Greensill feels an affinity towards Dorough, the vocalist, and his three efforts are delivered in the same cool manner. It's not imitative but simply a statement that this is how the songs should be sung. The set list visits the works of Nicholas Brodzsky for three tunes, and I especially liked the probing ballad "I'll Never Stop Loving You" and "Wonder Why." The Young and Washington classic "Stella by Starlight" starts life as a ruminative ballad and then switches to a finger-popping mid-tempo pace. Greensill contributes two originals: the ballad "A Dry Guy," featuring an introspective solo by bassist John Wiitala; and a bluesy take on "Blues Noir," which also gives the bassist stretching room.
Greensill is quite obviously a melody player, and the attention he lavishes on these songs makes it seem as if the head was just as important as the solo, instead of dashing through the respective melodies. Donald Bailey is the same drummer who you heard with Jimmy Smith during his best period (1956-64) and does an excellent job of being a subtle accompanist as well as providing the kick when necessary. It seems like this group has been intact and working together for some time, and its music is deserving of wider recognition.
Track Listing: I've Got Just About Everything, Love for Sale, I Should Care, A Dry Guy, Stella by Starlight, I'll Never Stop Loving You, It Ain't Necessarily So, Blues Noir, A Time For Love, Better Than Anything, Wonder Why/Be My Love, I Thought About You, Girl of my Dreams, Small Day Tomorrow.

Idaho National Laboratory Hydrogen Breakthrough Could Have Big Impacts on Oil Industry
By Hagadone, Zach
A breakthrough at the Idaho National Laboratory may lead the way forward for the commercial use of hydrogen produced through high- temperature electrolysis (HTE), specifically in the area of oil production.
"The biggest (commercial application) at this stage is in sweetening heavy crude or low-grade crude – stuff that is really thick," said INL spokesman Lou Riepl. "You need a good source of hydrogen to be able to make it truly useable and recoverable."
The way industry sweetens heavy crude now, Riepl added, is with hydrogen produced via steam re-forming from natural gas. The process is costly and not very energy efficient – especially as natural gas prices fluctuate. Finding a cheaper, more cost-effective method of sweetening crude oil could have major impacts on the oil industry and the economy as a whole.
"That's the immediate brass ring that we're going for," Riepl said.
When scientists working on the project found they could produce hydrogen at a rate of 5.6 cubic meters per hour, using steam and electricity, they heralded the discovery as a "milestone," bringing to fruition five years of research.
"This is by far the biggest achievement we've had," said Carl Stoots, the experiment's principle investigator.
INL officials said the success of the experiment has opened new doors for innovation in energy production, and breathed new life into the Department of Energy's pursuit of a hydrogen economy.
"At this point, reaching that production volume is really significant," Riepl said. "Up to this point it's been one of those, 'Yeah, you've proven you can do this but can you do it at a large enough volume to make it commercially viable?' That said we're still working with our industry partners on scale-up and some material refinement."

Alcohol and young people: What the legislation says about access and secondary supply. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 23198913 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher |
ISSUE: The rationale and potential impact of Australia's recent legislative changes regulating secondary supply of alcohol to minors, particularly on private premises. APPROACH: An examination of similarities and differences between state and territory liquor licensing legislation regulating secondary supply of alcohol to minors was undertaken. KEY FINDINGS: The Northern Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria prohibit supply of alcohol to minors on private premises, except by parents/guardians/authorised persons. Northern Territory, Queensland and Tasmanian legislation also prescribes that supply must occur responsibly and under supervision. Elsewhere, alcohol supply to minors on private premises is unregulated. These legislative changes reflect the 'familialisation' of adolescent drinking. IMPLICATIONS: Recent legislative amendments regulating secondary supply on private premises may indicate growing awareness of adolescent alcohol-related harms and signal a shift in community norms. However, sociocultural factors, misunderstanding and challenges in enforcing the legislation may limit compliance. CONCLUSIONS: Changes in secondary supply legislation need effective dissemination as divergence between states and territories may result in confusion about legal responsibilities. A national approach may be warranted to help set community boundaries for young people's drinking. |

Syndicated columnist George Will claimed that fossil fuel divestment is an ineffective exercise in "right-mindedness" that will only serve to harm universities' endowments, returning to arguments he made almost 30 years ago to dismiss divestment from apartheid South Africa. But many financial analysts have determined that divesting from fossil fuels has a negligible or even positive impact on institutions' investment portfolios, and the track record of past divestment campaigns -- including in South Africa -- suggests that the current movement can be successful by stigmatizing the fossil fuel industry.

Title: | Tourism In Saudi Arabia And Its Future Development |
Author: | Sadi, Muhammad Asad; Henderson, Joan C. |
Abstract: | The Middle East is relatively undeveloped as a tourist region, but future growth is anticipated and Saudi Arabia provides an interesting case study of a country which has recently moved to begin to exploit its untapped potential as a destination. After a brief review of tourism in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia in order to set the scene, this paper reports on the results of an independent effort to forecast aspects of the future of the Saudi Arabian tourism industry based on the deliberations of two independent Delphi panels. The methodology is explained and factors identified as likely to have an impact on tourism in Saudi Arabia are assessed. The implications of these changing circumstances for the planning and marketing of Saudi Arabian tourism are discussed in a final section. Opportunities ahead are highlighted, but the constraints to be overcome are also recognized. |

Harley Medical Centre, the parent

It controversially restructured and set
up a new parent company Aesthethic

A spokesman for the group would not
discuss Kym's case.
But the group issued a general
statement, which read: "We have
removed free of charge faulty implants
from those patients where there was a
medical need. This was the right thing to
do and is in line with recommendations
from expert reviews, but the impact on
our business has meant that we would
have been unable to continue without
restructuring and bringing in new
investment. The restructuring now allows
us to continue to care for our patients
who have medical issues arising from
PIP implants and to continue our duty of
care to the rest of our surgical and nonsurgical
patients, as normal."
He added: "The firm's restructuring
was the only option after being 'faced
with liabilities arising from a class action
that we simply wouldn't have been able
to survive'.

THERE are some Americans who are obsessed with keeping Mexicans out of the country. And then there are those like Phil Hardberger, the mayor of San Antonio. "We need to make it easier for them to come here," he says. He is referring to visitors. And many people in his city agree.
Mexicans spend billions of dollars a year in Texas, and San Antonio would like a little more of that money. Fewer than 200,000 people fly directly from San Antonio to Mexico, or vice versa, each year. Far more go to Dallas and Houston.
That is somewhat odd, given that San Antonio is a big Latino centre. It is the largest city in America with a Hispanic majority. Some 60% of its residents are Latino, mostly Mexican-American, and more than 40% speak Spanish at home. The Museo Alameda, a Smithsonian affiliate dedicated to "the Latino experience", opened in San Antonio on April 13th. It abuts a marketplace selling sombreros, confetti-filled eggs called cascarones (see picture) and skeleton figurines used to celebrate the Day of the Dead. The scene is especially lively in April, when several million people come for Fiesta San Antonio, a ten-day festival with as many margaritas and mariachi bands as anyone could want.
The fiesta is the city's biggest event, and such celebrations occasionally figure in local politics. Mr Hardberger owes his election in part to the 2005 River Parade. City councilman Julian Castro, then the front-runner, sent his twin brother to ride on a float in his stead. After they were rumbled, many voters decided that Mr Castro was too immature to be mayor.
Despite all this jollity, Dallas and Houston beat San Antonio at attracting travellers from Mexico, particularly business travellers. This year, while the fiesta was underway in San Antonio, Houston was hosting a food exposition that attracted 45 Mexican companies. One Querétaro-based outfit hawked square tortillas.
The problem, according to Mr Hardberger, is San Antonio's comparative inaccessibility by air. San Antonio is the 7th largest city in America, but its airport is so small it is almost cute. It seldom takes more than five minutes to go through security. San Antonio offers just three or four daily flights to Mexico City and only one to Monterrey. Mr Hardberger wants more direct flights, especially to Monterrey, the closest big Mexican city to San Antonio.
And familiarity, in this case, may have bred neglect. "We have really just turned our back on them," says Mr Hardberger. He thinks that, with so many natural ties between San Antonio and Mexico, people assumed a rapport would flourish untended. But as it is with people, so it goes with places, he reflects. "If you don't take care of your relationships," he says, "you may not have those relationships."
This is wise: Dallas and Houston are not the only American cities happy to pick up the slack. This week Kansas City welcomed a delegation from Mexico to talk about international supply-chain management. Officials in Laredo, Texas, are thinking of building a fifth bridge to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, to alleviate traffic. Politicians in New Mexico are lobbying for relaxed visa rules that would encourage visitors from Mexico to linger in Las Cruces. The battle for the Mexican dollar is on.

Americal Division Unit Patch The Americal Division is the only army infantry division to be formed outside the continental United States. The Americal division is also the only named army Division. All other army divisions have a number designation. The army later added the number designation of the 23rd Infantry Division to the Americal title. The four stars represent the constellation Crux. Crux is referred to as; 'The Southern Cross'. The Americal Division motto is 'Under the Southern cross'. The patch has been worn in combat by Americal Division veterans who served in the Pacific theatre during WWII and by veterans of the Vietnam War.
This patch (above) is symbolic of the 'Jungle Warriors' of the 11th Light Infantry Brigade. The 11th LIB consisted of the following units:
The 3/1, who declare themselves to be, 'Always First' The 1/20, who carry the name, 'Sykes Regulars' The 4/3, who are 'The Old Guard' The 4/21, are 'The Gimlets'

The 101 Gallery is used primarily to display Western art collections and other specially created exhibits that pertain to the sport of rodeo. Exhibits in this gallery are changed at least twice a year.
Current exhibit: "The Artist and the Bucking Horse" and the Ardourel "Bit and Spur Collection." "The Artist and the Bucking Horse" is a collection of artwork in different mediums with the iconic bucking horse as the subject. The majority of the artwork in this collection was accumulated by Valona Varnum Crowell and donated to the museum in 1983.
The other exhibit is a collection of bits and spurs from the Ardourel "Bit and Spur Collection." Dr. Ralph Ardourel donated his collection, which had been amassed by Rollie Leonard, to the Hall in 1983. Mr. Leonard's land was the location of the original Boulder Pow Wow. The pieces are from contestants in the Pow Wow.
The exhibit went on display October 1, 2014 and will be on exhibit for several months. Please contact the museum for up to date information on the 101 Gallery.

COLUMBIA — Nearly 70 supporters of the soon-to-be-closed University of Missouri Press met Tuesday morning to plan their next moves to save the press.
Among them was best-selling author and MU alumnus William Least Heat-Moon, who urged the group to take more dramatic action. He said they would not be able to win the fight inside closed-door classrooms.
"We've got to take this battle to the streets," he said.
He also urged the professors, authors and graduate students on hand to get the general student body involved when the fall semester begins in August.
The announcement by UM System President Tim Wolfe in May about closing the press caused an uproar in the academic community at MU, as well as nationwide.
The MU chapter of the American Association of University Professors sponsored Tuesday's meeting to formulate a plan to save the existing press, which is set to close sometime in fiscal year 2013.
Donna Potts, the AAUP chair of the Assembly of State Conferences and a professor at Kansas State University, led the meeting. Potts said MU's Faculty Council needs to draft a resolution at its next meeting — this Thursday — adopting the six goals included in the "Save the University of Missouri Press" petition, which had 5,051 signatures as of Tuesday afternoon. The goals include:
- Rescinding the decision to shut down the press and lay off its staff of 10.
- Guaranteeing that the press continue to serve the citizens of Missouri and publish a broad range of peer-reviewed books.
- Guaranteeing that the press continue to print books and train students — "but not use them to replace trained professionals."
The new press as described by MU's administration last week envisions a press that is almost entirely digital and in which students play a far greater role. Those parts of the plan have prompted the most criticism.
Truman Storvick, a retired MU professor emeritus in the Department of Chemical Engineering who has worked for the university for 53 years, attended the meeting and expressed concerns about the lack of communication between Faculty Council and the administration of the university. He was critical of the administration's management of the university.
"We're using an industrial management model, which is totally inappropriate for an academic institution," he said.
Stephen Montgomery-Smith, vice president of MU's chapter of AAUP and a member of Faculty Council, said he was happy that many different points of views got across at the meeting. He said he has no idea what the future of the press might be but that he had a "good feeling" about the discussions that took place at the meeting.
