The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has received applications to renew the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permits listed below. The DEC intends to issue permit renewals for a five year period, maintaining the current effluent limitations and monitoring and report requirements under the Environmental Benefit Permit Strategy (EBPS). The EBPS enables the DEC to renew SPDES permits administratively. A full technical review is undertaken in sequence as determined by the EBPS permit priority ranking system, and when necessary permit modifications are initiated.
Under the State Environmental Quality Review Act, renewal of a permit is a Type II activity and, therefore, not subject to the specific environmental impact analysis requirements of that law.
Additional information (e.g. current permit, fact sheet, renewal application, supporting documentation, the priority ranking fact sheet, and a description of the SPDES permit priority ranking system) may be obtained from or inspected at the NYSDEC central office in Albany. Substantive comments on the permit or on the priority ranking score (e.g. changes in discharge characteristics or facility operations that affect the discharge) and/or request for hearing must be submitted in writing by Friday, February 11, 2000 to:
Deborah J. Knight
Division of Environmental Permits
50 Wolf
Road, Room 538
Albany, NY 12233-1750
(518) 457-3015
The SPDES permits listed below show the most up-to-date priority ranking. The receipt of new information or the issuance of permit modifications may change the priority ranking from that shown on the statewide SPDES permit priority ranking list published annually.

- The USS Enterprise-E is assigned to ferry demolition experts from Deep Space 9 to Starbase 375, but just as they arrive. Admiral Leyton declares martial law on Earth and the Federation is put in a state of emergency. On the starbase, Admiral Hahn has gone missing, and there are several unexplained events – and one of the demolition experts, Lieutenant Daniels, isn't convinced that it's necessarily Dominion treachery. Picard and the Enterprise crew must learn the truth – about the martial law declaration and what happened to Admiral Hahn – before the Enterprise itself becomes the next casualty...

MTS Centre got its marquee tenant when the Winnipeg Jets return to Manitoba. The Atlanta Thrashers franchise was relocated to Winnipeg in June 2011. The American Hockey League's Manitoba Moose played at MTS Centre from 2004 until moving to Atlantic Canada after the Thrashers were sold to True North. The arena, built for $133 million Canadian, was originally known as the True North Centre during planning and construction before Manitoba Telecom Services purchased naming rights. MTS Centre is located on the former site of Eaton's department store, a Canadian institution that went bankrupt in 1999. After much controversy about preserving the building, it was demolished in 2002 and the MTS Centre opened in November 2004. An Eaton's historical area is located on the Skywalk level of the arena. The design of MTS Centre features red brick exterior and reminds many of famed old hockey buildings, such as the Montreal Forum. With a capacity of 15,015, the arena is the smallest in the NHL. But fans showed their overwhelming enthusiasm for the return of NHL hockey by buying 13,000 season tickets in less than 20 minutes of going on sale. The old Winnipeg Jets played at demolished Winnipeg Arena from 1972 to 1996, before financial troubles forced them to relocate to Phoenix for the 1996-97 season. The Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame is located on the main level of the MTS Centre, and the museum houses several plaques of players, coaches and builders. The Centre also hosts several concerts and other athletic and civic events. Plans for a $75 million development that will be composed of a hotel and office and retail space across from the MTS Centre also are in the works.

Live updates
Roads protester accused of obstructing highway
As one of the South East's biggest road projects continues, one of the first protesters who objected to the scheme has appeared in court charged with obstructing the highway and resisting arrest. John Ryall reports.
VIDEO: Evidence of Saxon fort unearthed by link road
A Sussex man says he's found evidence which shows that a Saxon fort, or Burh, is sited along the route of the controversial Bexhill to Hastings link road.
Martin White came across the academic paperwork while he was researching a ruin which stands behind his house in Crowhurst. He's now asked English Heritage to investigate. Charlotte Wilkins has the story. She also speaks to local historian Nick Austin.
Controversial link road go-ahead
Work to construct the Bexhill to Hastings link road can now start after receiving final approval from Transport Secretary. The three and a half mile carriageway will be built between the A259 in Bexhill and the B2092 Queensway in Hastings.
Supporters say the controversial plans will improve accessibility between the two towns. Those opposed to the scheme say it will destroy vital open space.
Roads Campaigner Sian Berry said:"The decision to fund this damaging road is bad news for transport in Hastings and is an appalling use of public funds.
Transport Minister lobbied over controversial road
They tried to stop the bulldozers and chainsaws - but failed. So today protesters against the Bexhill Hastings Link road went to stop the scheme by lobbying the Transport Minister - Sussex's Norman Baker - direct. But, as Phil Hornby reports, the police had other ideas.
Bexhill-Hastings: Cost of evictions
Taxpayers have been left with a bill of almost 690,000 for evicting activists and securing the site of a controversial road building project in East Sussex.
Campaigners against the Hastings to Bexhill link road set up camps, locked themselves in tunnels and stationed themselves up trees.
The protest, dubbed "the second Battle of Hastings", led to the arrest of 28 people, amid fears the £93 million road would lead to more pollution and damage the environment.
East Sussex County Council said the bill for removing the protesters and securing the site in the threatened Combe Haven Valley, near Crowhurst, had been "an unnecessary additional cost".
It said the bill is on top of the £4.5 million already built up from judicial delays into the road scheme, which aims to regenerate one of the poorest economies in the South East.
A county council spokesman said: "To secure the site and remove protesters from trees and tunnels has required highly-trained specialist staff.
"This is a significant sum but this was a significant protest. To remove safely people who have locked themselves in tunnels and to trees requires very specific skills and expertise.
"We will continue to work with security and the police, where appropriate, to ensure any preparatory works can continue to be carried out safely."
Canoeing grandmothers join road protest
Grandmothers will gather in Combe Haven Valley in East Sussex this morning in the latest protest against moves to build a £94 million link road.
Councillors say the road between Bexhill and Hastings is vital to regenerate the local economy, leading to 2,000 new homes and hundreds of jobs.
However, protesters have been gathering at the site since Christmas, with three camps dismantled by bailiffs in as many weeks.
Organisers say the grandmothers will sail parts of the flooded site in kayaks.
Local grandmother Rosamond Palmer said: "Combe Haven floods, it is a flood plain and therefore a stupid place to build a road. As local senior residents we want to express our opposition. Fortunately being sensible older women, we brought our boats."
Can Battle site stop controversial road?
They've tried to stop the road by pointing out the damage it's doing to the countryside, now protesters against the Hastings to Bexhill link road are highlighting the damage it could be doing to history.
They claim the route will cause permanent damage to the site of the Battle of Hastings which they say is in the path of the new road.
Andy Dickenson reports and we hear from link road campaigner Michael Bernard and Gregory Barker, MP for Bexhill and Battle.
"Battle of Hastings" gathers pace with High Court bid
Campaigners against a 94 million pound relief road between Hastings and Bexhill are trying to take their fight to the High Court.
Local historians believe the proposed route could cut through the site of William the Conqueror's base camp of 1066 - a view disputed since it would place the Battle of Hastings at Combe Haven Valley and not Battle Abbey.
Campaigner Michael Bernard has been speaking to ITV News Meridian
Link road: Treetop protesters eviction underway
Protesters demonstrating against the construction of the Hastings Bexhill link road have continued with their treetop demonstrations today. They have also burrowed down in tunnels to prevent trees being felled to make way for the £94m road project in East Sussex.
Bailiffs have begun evicting the third protest camp to be set up. They have removed four protesters so far today, with about a dozen still left in the trees. There has been one arrest, although most people are being removed peacefully
Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and the RSPCA joined campaigners calls at the weekend to save woodland in the Coombe Haven Valley. Councillors insist, however, the 94 million pound road is vital for the local economy.
Adrian Hopkins of the Combe Haven Defenders protest group said: "Resistance has been growing to this awful scheme as each day passes and more people become inspired by the action so far taken to protect the beautiful Combe Haven valley.
"This is only the beginning of a sustained campaign of peaceful resistance to this environmentally disastrous white-elephant project."
While Andy Atkins, Executive Director of Friends of the Earth said: "'This road shouldn't have been approved.
"It will lead to more pollution, damage the environment and do little to boost the local economy. Reviving discredited road schemes like this won't solve our economic and transport problems, it will simply shift traffic elsewhere. Transport policy must change direction.
"We need cleaner cars and safe, efficient and affordable alternatives.'"
Bailiffs evict road protesters

The Reds manager believes the ex-Chelsea striker can gain from observing the Premier League's leading scorer, who attracted more attention this week for an on-field incident
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes that 23-year-old striker Daniel Sturridge can learn a lot from team-mate Luis Suarez, despite the controversy the Uruguayan creates.The Premier League's top goalscorer was caught in the midst of another on-field incident this week, as he appeared to hit Chile defender Gonzalo Jara.
However, Rodgers believes that the on-field talent of the striker compares favourably with that of any of the other great strikers the club have had in their ranks.
"For me the striker drives the train, and when you look at the history of this club, men like Ian Rush, Kenny Dalglish and Robbie Fowler worked incredibly hard," the Liverpool boss told reporters.
"Luis does that too. He is a great leader, the way he presses up there. He has an absolutely amazing appetite for the game.
"Daniel's only just come to the club and it's a new way of working for him. But it's so important because when you don't have the pressure up top, the gaps open up.
"He's only 23 and knows he needs to improve, but he's a real receptive boy, and he can't have anyone better to learn from than Luis."

From The Korea Times comes confirmation of a rumour we picked up on a few weeks ago . As previously mentioned it does appear that LA Galaxy will take on Chelsea in July as part of a 4 team tournament which will include Mexico's Tigres and Korea's Suwon Bluewings. It was speculated that a Japanese club would be the forth team, but the Bluewings will surely be just as appreciated in LA's rich Asian community (K-town, represent!).
So I'll put 5 on it that Brand Beckham does make his Galaxy debut against the Blues. And with a schedule that's packed as tight as Beyonce's jeans, it can't be said that Galaxy season ticket holders won't get their money's worth this season.

Constantin, M and Dasgupta, C and Chatraphorn, Punyindu P and Majumdar, Satya N and Sarma, Das S (2004) Persistence in nonequilibrium surface growth. In: Physical Review E (Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics), 69 . 061608/1-22.
Persistence.pdf Download (1370Kb) |
Persistence probabilities of the interface height in (1 + 1)- and (2 + 1)-dimensional atomistic, solid-on-solid, stochastic models of surface growth are studied using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, with emphasis on models that belong to the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) universality class. Both the initial transient and the long-time steady-state regimes are investigated. We show that for growth models in the MBE universality class, the nonlinearity of the underlying dynamical equation is clearly reflected in the difference between the measured values of the positive and negative persistence exponents in both transient and steady-state regimes. For the MBE universality class, the positive and negative persistence exponents in the steady-state are found to be = 0.66±0.02 and = 0.78±0.02, respectively, in (1 + 1) dimensions, and = 0.76±0.02 and = 0.85±0.02, respectively, in (2 + 1) dimensions. The noise reduction technique is applied on some of the (1 + 1)-dimensional models in order to obtain accurate values of the persistence exponents. We show analytically that a relation between the steady-state persistence exponent and the dynamic growth exponent, found earlier to be valid for linear models, should be satisfied by the smaller of the two steady-state persistence exponents in the nonlinear models. Our numerical results for the persistence exponents are consistent with this prediction. We also find that the steady-state persistence exponents can be obtained from simulations over times that are much shorter than that required for the interface to reach the steady state. The dependence of the persistence probability on the system size and the sampling time is shown to be described by a simple scaling form.

Ghoulish Ghost Forms
Create these flowing ghostly shapes to scare trick-or-treaters on Halloween.
Leftover wood scraps, gauze and fabric starch are all you need to create these spooky ghost forms.
Materials and Tools:
2 x 2 scraps
plywood or MDF
plastic foam ball
duct tape
drop cloth
white gauze
fabric starch
straight pins
bricks or rocks
1. Cut the 2 x 2s into three pieces (one long with square ends and two short with one end angled on each) and cut the plywood or MDF into a circle (about 24 inches in diameter) for the base. Screw the pieces together to create a life-size stick figure. Tape rags over the arm ends to simulate hands and screw half of the plastic foam ball to the top of the middle piece for the head. Place the figure over a drop cloth.
2. Cut about 12 to 20 six-foot strips of white gauze for each ghost and dip them one at a time into a pail of fabric starch. Pull the gauze out slowly, wringing it out as you go. Unfold each piece and drape the lengths of gauze over the ghost frame until you have created the desired thickness and shape.
Note: You can create hoods, capes and high or low arms, depending on how you put the frame and gauze together. Be sure to lay the gauze as flat as possible at the bottom, which will allow for bricks or rocks to hold the ghosts down so they don't fly away in the wind.
3. The gauze will eventually dry and harden. If desired, add a couple strips of dry gauze and pin them in place to the hands and head. These will look spooky on a windy night. Place the ghosts on a covered porch or out in the open for short lengths of time on a dry evening (rain will soften the dried starch and leave you with a puddle of gauze instead of a frightening ghost!).

Today we introduce the fourth of our more than 50 community blog partners, a group of people whose web logs we recommend for their overall quality and consistency in posting. Meet Matt Bors, a nationally syndicated cartoonist based in Portland.
Way back in 2004 it was just the blog. These days I'm doing all the additional things necessary for a self-promotional freelance existence: Tweeting, Facebooking, Tumbling, Not Sleeping, and never logging in to LinkedIn because what's that site even for?
Q. What goes into being a nationally syndicated editorial cartoonist?
To be a real pro in this industry you have to be good at staying up all night to meet your deadline at the last minute. I've gotten real good at that over the years and now my entire life is governed by deadlines. I couldn't even finish this interview without giving myself one.
Q. What path(s) did you follow to get there?
Q. What's the basis of your political point of view?
Q. Do you have a favorite cartoon?
Q. Do you have other projects or interests besides the blog?
Q. Describe Portland in one word.
Q. Describe yourself in one word.
Q. What brought you to Portland?
Mostly it was living in Ohio and noticing that Portland was not in Ohio. I had been itching to leave for the west coast for years and needed an affordable, livable city that you can be fashionably poor in. I also love the way it rains constantly -- very conducive to sitting behind a drawing table in the evening.
Q. Give us your predictions for the 2012 presidential election: Who faces Obama? Who wins?

Shot over a three-year period, the film captures the struggle of four family farmers to stave off the 21st Century of Big Agriculture, Big Government, and exurban sprawl. Lit, who grew up on a family farm in Pennsylvania, mixes archival footage of farms like hers with emotional first-hand accounts of the French farmers that grow food whose terroir connotes a sense of place. The farmers eat farm-to-fork, not pre-packaged or readymade. The way we farm today is just as revelatory, the film showing how the fate of family farmers intersects with that of global health. Observing the momentum of the organic movement in France, a glum-faced farmer snipes. "You have to adapt to evolution but with awareness." Such sniping isn't fruit- less. More and more people are going local and even traveling to places that feed us, and the film shows just such a thriving agro- tourism operation. The farmers' answers to such varied questions illuminate not only their frustration but also their hope that a more plant-based, micro-local, and ultra-seasonal movement is gaining momentum and isn't just for the food-obsessed.

Dana White not buying Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal's excuses
UFC President, Dana White has today commented on the recent failed drug test of former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion, Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal and his subsequent reasons for failing it, saying he just doesn't buy it.
Speaking via MMAFighting.com, White said:
"If you get caught doing something, admit you did it. The whole 'Somebody put something in my system that I didn't know about?' I mean, who here lets someone put s–t inside them that you don't know what it is? If you go to the doctor and he gives you a pill, 'Doc, what am I taking this for?'"
"I don't buy that s—t. Own up to what you did. Listen, it's out there, it happens, and sometimes everybody makes mistakes. The up-and-coming guys, you're already talented, you're already fast, you're already strong, do not ruin your career by taking this junk that will affect you for the rest of your life."
"I don't buy it. Anybody that's ever said that they didn't know what's being put in their body is full of s–t."
Lawal has revealed he's unlikely to appeal any decision made by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, something that's likely to result in a token fine and a one-year suspension from the sport, something that will rule him out of competing for the vacant 205 pound title. Stay tuned to MMABay for more news on this as we get it.

Yat Yat Sweet: Sweet and Stinky
Growing up in Rochester, I'll admit to being completely ignorant of Chinese food. But after being introduced to Cantonese cuisine during a trip to Hong Kong and a rudimentary education via MW, I'm proud to say that now I'm only mostly ignorant of Chinese food. But when YC introduced me to a rather unique dessert last week, I just knew that I had to write about it.
Located in Bath Beach, Yat Yat Sweet is a new restaurant specializing in Hong Kong cafe style desserts such as bubble teas, herb grass jelly, tong yuen and dessert soups. Knowing my tastes in food, YC knew that unlike most people, I actually like the taste of durian, and brought me a Durian Sago Soup. Durian, an alien-looking fruit which grows throughout Asia, possesses a notorious, if not noxious odor, and is more than capable of making even the most adventurous of eaters run for the hills. Hell, even Bizarre Foods guru Andrew Zimmern can't even stomach the stuff. Described as tasting something like dirty socks mixed with rancid onions with a mushy consistency, I can honestly say that this isn't for everyone.
Upon lifting the plastic cover of the inconspicuous white styrofoam container, I was met with a potent plume of durian. There was no mistaking the key ingredient in this dessert. Served over a sort of durian slush were chunks of diced durian, large and small sago and tapioca pearls. Definitely not for the faint of heart, the slush prominently contained that characteristic durian flavor that was only exaggerated by the pieces of fruit that became interspersed when mixed together. The sago pearls provided a nice textural contrast but otherwise contributed nothing to the dish. Still, at $5 and icy cold, this is a sweet but stinky treat and a must try for durian fans.

Chinese Food,
2 comments:
Ha, I wasn't too fond of it when I initially tried it in Hong Kong...but I suggest trying it frozen as it mutes much of the odor and has an ice cream-like texture.
Have only had stinky tofu a few times at some Taiwanese restaurants in the U.S. Might go to China later this year and will be one of the things I want to try.
Chinese Salted Fish is too strong for me at times.

Electromyographic analysis of locomotion for healthy and hemiparetic subjects--study of performance variability and rail effect on treadmill. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 12855295 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
This study quantified the performance variability and effect of rail support on the ankle joint for normal and hemiparetic subjects during treadmill walking. Muscle activities of the anterior tibialis (TA) and medial gastrocnemius (MG) from six hemiparetic patients and 14 healthy subjects were assessed with EMG linear envelope and variance ratio of consecutive strides at self-selected cadences. Our results indicate that (1) performance consistency of the hemiparetic patients was significantly undermined; (2) habituated process during treadmill walking was notable in the MG but not in the TA; and (3) rail support could reduce performance variability of the ankle antagonist pairs. |

On the CNET article that ZDNET seems to have copied lock stock and barrel, he did actually identify himself as a Verisign VP in the by line. As such, I think this is ZD's fault, not McLaughlin's. I don't have any love lost for Verisign, but, I think we need to be very careful to stick to criticisms that can stick to them. Otherwise, they will divert attention to our false claims and use them to prove that we are the net.kooks they are trying to make us out to be.

I need some advice: I'm looking for an upgrade for my speakers.
I currently run my HK AVR 7300 with a 5.1 setup:fronts: Monitor Audio Bronze floorstanders, rear: MA Bronze bookshelfspeakers an the MA Bronze centerspeaker accompanied with a Infinity Subwoofer Beta 10.
My listeningroom (also the living room) is about 40m2.
50% of the time is used for movie watching in 5.1 setup and 50 % is used for music listening in stereo with and without the sub
Which speakers would make a major difference and a step up in sound? Let me remind that i'm on a budget.
I would eventually sell the MA / Infinty setup to get something newe or some good second hand gear. Can anyone give some thougts?.
Thanks in advance

I do want new speakers, but i'm on a budget, so i think i can get better quality speakers second hand, but i'm not sure.
As for my current speakers: I think the high is too thin and too harsh, the bass is too boomy, i'v moved them around in the room, removed the foam plugs from the bass port, this gave a small improvement. With low volume listening the sound isn't detailed enough.

Well i like my current setup, Monitor Audio / HK. Only not detailed enough on low volume, and on louder (say 85%) volumes the speakers loose definition and tend to sound a bit harsh.

If you've listened to all of the combo's above and prefer what you already have (other than the stated concerns at high and low volumes) then I'd think twice about pulling the trigger on new speakers. Why spend a bunch of money on a problem that you haven't found a satisfying solution to ?
Some speakers just don't sound their best until a little current is flowing through them. I think most Monitor Audio speakers are fairly efficient, but not overly so. Speakers that are more efficient (>90db) are more likely to have more life at low volumes. They also won't tax your amplifier as much at higher volumes which may improve the high frequency issue you are experiencing at loud levels. Although, many amps start to get out of their wheel house at 85% on the dial.....depending on how progressive the gain advances via the volume control. Your HK could be just running out of juice, and what you're hearing is a cry to be turned down.
We could all recommend our favorite speakers in the price range to you, but you'd get 8 different answers from 8 different people, unless you give us a point of reference. And if you haven't heard anything else that sounds better to you, it is impossible to guide you down any particular path, other than suggesting you don't buy anything until you know what you want, and why you want it. We've all spent money on components and wished afterwards we hadn't, so we're just trying to help you avoid the same mistakes.

It's estimated as many as one in four Americans will experience an anxiety disorder some time in their lives. An economic analysis suggests anxiety disorders cost 42 billion annually in terms of lost workplace productivity, absenteeism and medical and pshychological care. Dr. Peter Norton is an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Houston. He says everyone feels some sort of anxiety in certain situations, but that doesn't mean you have a disorder.
"What an anxiety disorder is, is where that whole anxiety or fear system goes off in the absence of any real danger or any objective danger, or goes off a lot more than it should given the amount of danger."
Anxiety disorders can include panic attacks, social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and phobias. People who have true anxiety disorders usually find them disruptive to normal life. Norton says anxiety disorders are chemically similar to depressive disorders. Both are partly caused by seratonin levels.
"But we also know with both anxiety and depression, the various life events can have a strong impact. So if I had, if I grew up in a household where my parents were always saying 'you need to make a good impression, you need to be popular or else nobody will like you' I might be more susceptible to develop a social anxiety."
Norton and his graduate students run an anxiety clinic on campus, where they accept patients for group cognitive behavioral therapy. This allows the students to get real experience and training in a clinical setting. Norton says he thinks his students are already better at working with anxiety disorders than a number of professionals in private practice.
"Also, being situation on the UH campus, uh puts us in some fairly low income neighborhoods, um and also it puts us near, uh nearby some very ethnically diverse neighborhoods. Um, so that really allows us to reach out to a number of different communities that traditionally have been underserved."
Sessions are $20 for the public and $10 for UH students. Norton says he and his students treat between 10 and 20 patients per session. Depending on the severity of the anxiety disorder, therapy could continue for a few weeks to several months.

FRIDAY, JULY 21, 2006COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL: ULTIMATE AVENGERS 2SAN DIEGO -- Black Panther jumps into the spotlight as the new character in Ultimate Avengers 2 -- the second direct-to-DVD animated film from Marvel Studios and Lionsgate.
And while he wasn't in The Ultimates comic books from which the films are based, T'Challa was a perfect fit for the sequel.
Greg Johnson, who also wrote the first Ultimate Avengers movie, told The Continuum that finding the right focus for Ultimate Avengers 2 was definitely a priority early on. The sequel continues Captain America's story from the first film.
"There was a time when Panther was even considered as a cast member for the first movie, but once we decided to introduce him in the second instead, everything started falling into place," Johnson told The Continuum.
"With the introduction of Panther, the story had a fresh point of view, and an entry point into the world, the characters, and the threat.
"Overall, this movie is really a convergence of Cap's story and Panther's."
The film, which has already been screened at the Los Angeles Film Festival, was scheduled to be shown at Comic-Con International Friday at 7 p.m. (PT).
The Ultimate Avengers 2 DVD will also feature a preview of Marvel's next animated film, Iron Man, which is also written by Johnson.
It's actually Johnson's third-go round with the character, following the two Ultimate Avengers films and the 1990s Iron Man syndicated series that Johnson story-edited.
How does the new animated Iron Man stack up against the UA and 1990's versions?
"We're retelling Iron Man's origin, so as far as continuity, it could quite believably belong in the timeline pre-Ultimate Avengers," Johnson said. "The voice actor (Marc Worden) is also the same, and the personality is quite similar (to Ultimate Avengers).
"But the movie will have its own unique design."
Marvel and Lionsgate have not announced additional titles following the fourth film, Doctor Strange, also written by Johnson.
Could there be a continuation of Ultimate Avengers? Maybe a third film or a TV series?
"The future of the team is definitely primed for more adventures, even though there would be some small changes to the lineup as a result of this story," said Johnson, who these days is busy with the new Wolverine and the X-Men television series.
Ultimate Avengers 2 is scheduled to be in stores on August 8.

Curriculum & Instruction Doctor of Philosophy Degree
The Ph.D. program prepares students for positions in a wide variety of settings. It requires at least three academic years of full- time study and research, or the equivalent over a longer period, beyond the baccalaureate. Students typically complete the program in four years of full-time study. In addition to the requirements described below, students should review the general regulations governing doctoral degrees as outlined in the University at Albany Graduate Bulletin, including the sections on advanced standing and transfer of credit.
Requirements for Admission
In addition to the general University requirements for admission to doctoral study, an applicant should present scores from the aptitude section of the Graduate Record Examination.
An applicant who holds a master's degree with specialization in an appropriate field may apply for admission with advanced standing.
Program of Study (63 credits minimum)
Students follow a program of study planned with their departmental advisors who take into account previous preparation, areas of specialization, and professional objectives. A general description of the program of study follows.
Core Courses (9 credits)
These courses must be taken at the University at Albany by all candidates for the doctoral degree in curriculum and instruction.
Tap 710 Principles of Curriculum Development (3);
Tap 720 Principles of Instruction (3);
Tap 773 Foundations of Research in Curriculum and Instruction (3)
Specialization (15 credits minimum)
The student can determine areas of specialization in consultation with his or her advisor that reflect the student's interests and career goals. At least 15 credits of coursework beyond that used to satisfy the core requirements are required in an area of specialization. The Department offers a flexible array of specilizatoins based on the interests of current faculty and students. Most current students pursue one of four broad areas of study, though students are encouraged to combine elements across these areas and to integrate them with offerings from other departments to develop their own specializations. The four Departmental specializations are (1) Instructional Theory, Design, and Technology; (2) Research and Evaluation in Curriculum and Instruction; (3) Language in Education; and (4) Science and Mathematics Teaching and Learning.
· Instructional Theory, Design, and Technology: This area fosters scholarly expertise in instructional theory, design, and technology for students who intend to assume leadership roles in matters related to instruction in schools, government agencies, professions, research, or industry. The focus is on theories of effective instruction, the design of educational materials, and uses of instructional technology that apply across a variety of contexts, subject matter domains, types of students, and educational tasks.
· Language in Education: This area focuses on research and scholarship in first and second language teaching and learning, including literacy, writing, English, and literature. Related coursework highlights language, thought, and socialization as the underpinnings of literacy development. The area considers contextual as well as cognitive processes of reading and writing, the ways in which contexts affect learning and instruction, and how these understandings can most effectively influence learning, teaching, testing and policy. The TESOL and TEFL concentrations within this area of study focus on conceptual and pragmatic development in more than one language, and computer assisted language learning.
· Science and Mathematics Teaching and Learning: This area fosters scholarly expertise in the research, theory, and practice of science and mathematics teaching and learning. The focus is on developing an understanding of teaching and learning processes and how they interact with disciplinary knowledge in science and/or mathematics to shape educational theory and curricular and instructional practices in research, instruction and evaluation.
· Research and Evaluation in Curriculum and Instruction: This area helps prepare students for research and evaluation positions in higher education, school districts, state and federal government agencies, private industry, and private consulting. Related coursework provides a grounding in the philosophy of educational research and evaluation, an examination of critical issues in research and evaluation, experience with a range of approaches to systematic inquiry, including feminist methodologies, and directed practice in designing, conducting and reporting research and evaluation studies.
Minor Field/Elective Courses (27 credits)
The study of educational theory and practice requires the use of many concepts drawn from the humanities and from the social and behavioral sciences. In conjunction with their advisors, students should plan a coherent set of supporting courses drawn from areas within ETAP, from related departments within the School of Education, and from other departments within the University. Such courses should be selected to support the student's concentration. In some cases a formal minor field may be appropriate, and must be arranged so as to meet the requirements of the relevant academic department.
Inquiry Courses (12 credits minimum)
Research in education draws on a wide variety of research methodologies, including but not limited to historical, philosophical, anthropological, psychological, sociological, and linguistic traditions. Within these traditions, specific methods of inquiry are sometimes roughly divided into those which are primarily quantitative and those that are more qualitative. To insure a breadth of understanding of current research, students should develop: a) familiarity with the premises of inquiry and methodologies of both quantitative and qualitative approaches to educational research; and b) the ability to employ one of these approaches in a manner sufficient to do dissertation research. These requirements can be met through the completion of at least one course in each area (qualitative and quantitative), and at least two additional courses in one area of inquiry (four courses in all).
A wide variety of relevant inquiry-related courses are offered in the Department, in other departments in the School of Education, and in other departments of the University. Specific courses should be chosen in consultation with the student's advisor, keeping in mind the twin goals of familiarity with diverse traditions and the competence to work within a particular tradition.
Research Tool Examination
All students are required to pass a research tool exam. Details of the research tool exam are available from the Department office.
Qualifying Examination
Advancement to candidacy requires successful completion of the Doctoral Qualifying Examination. This is accomplished via faculty evaluation of a portfolio prepared by the student under the guidance of his or her advisor. Details of the Qualifying Examination are available from the Department Office.
Policy on Doctoral Residency
Doctoral students are not required to complete a period of full-time study (residency) in the Department of Educational Theory and Practice. However, the faculty strongly recommends that students enroll for one or two semesters of full-time study while completing their doctoral programs. Full-time study without the obligations of other work allows students to fulfill doctoral degree requirements in a timely way and to have sustained engagement with the faculty of the Department of Educational Theory and Practice and with the larger university community
Admission to Candidacy
The student admitted to advanced study leading to a doctoral degree in Curriculum and Instruction is considered for admission to candidacy upon:
1) Satisfying the residency requirements;
2) Achieving a satisfactory record in courses and seminars;
3) Completing satisfactorily the Research Tool Examination;
4) Passing the Doctoral Qualifying Examination;
5) Receiving approval of the dissertation proposal and submission of such to the School of Education Doctoral Council;
6) Completion of any other University requirements that may be in effect.
Admission to candidacy is not automatic, and a graduate student becomes a candidate for a doctoral degree only with the approval of the Dean of Graduate Studies acting on the recommendation of the Graduate Academic Council and the Dean of the School of Education.
Students must be admitted to candidacy at least one session, exclusive of a summer session, before the acceptance of their dissertation and the completion of all requirements for the doctoral degree.
The dissertation is the culmination of the doctoral program. As such, it must attest to a high degree of scholarly competence. The dissertation must report in accepted scholarly style an original investigation of a problem of significance in the major field of study. It must demonstrate that the candidate is capable of conducting and reporting research and analyses that make a substantial contribution to knowledge in an area relating to educational theory and practice in curriculum and instruction.

Francesco Guidolin laughed off talk of Udinese challenging for the Scudetto. "We've got to keep an eye in front and one behind."
The Friulani are unbeaten in 2011 and soared to joint third place, awaiting Napoli's game this evening, after seeing off Catania 2-0.
"We are happy, as we made another step forward in a difficult game, made tricky for us by Catania's efforts," said the Coach.
"We want to fight for our objective, which is Europe, and are satisfied at keeping our distance from Juventus and Palermo. This was a deserved victory."
When asked if Udinese could realistically get into the Scudetto race during the final weeks, Guidolin was surprised.
"Milan are beyond our reach. All we have to do is keep running hard the way we are now and not worry about other matters. We've got to keep an eye in front and one behind."
This week the tactician saw his contract extended to June 2015, albeit with the same pay structure.
"I have always loved this club and the renewal is wonderful, but if it arrived then it is thanks to the players who are giving their all at a high level."

Trip Start
Jan 05, 2005
Trip End
Dec 13, 2005
Fiji, "wow" is all I can say. I think I saved the best of my travels for last. 3 weeks in paradise. I got to the airport in Nadi, Fiji in the late afternoon. Nadi is on the "mainland" which is known as Viti Levu. All of the backpackers I met said to basically get off of the mainland as soon as you can which I did the next morning after a night in a hostel right on the beach. I was a bit scared at first because the beach at my hostel, while nice, wasn't the white sand and blue water I was expecting. After an hour long ferry out to Mana Island I felt sweet redemption. It was a large island with nothing but palm trees, white sand, crystal water, hot weather, cold beer, and all of the other tropical paradise cliches you can name. There was a large group of us going, 8 in total, but we managed to show up on 4 different days. I was the first to show and I was a bit worried I'd have trouble meeting people to hang out with for the first few days. This, of course, turned out to not be the case as I met a few cool English (imagine that) girls on the boat and a ton of other people as soon as we got to the island. I spent those first couple days chilling on the beach and then going to the Bula Bar at night for the usual.
My first impression of the Fijians was, "whoa, these people are really cool and laid back." Granted, living in a paradise like that would make anyone pretty chilled out(what is that? the fourth time I've used "paradise?" I'd better check a thesaurus). As I was saying, this utopian promised land was a true arcadia, a divine Zion for the weary soul. Every single person you passed would always say "Bula!" This is a multi-purpose Fijian word which mostly meant hello. Kind of like aloha to the Hawaiians. Lets get the introductions out of the way...
Kate was the first one to show. Next came Gemma, Ash, Angus, and Sonj and then the day after it was Andrea and Anna. Kate is a friend of Gemma's from her year in Australia. You'll remember Gemma and Ashley from my days in the Mandarin Orchard. Sonj is Gemma's mate from England Angus is likewise with Ash. We met Anna working at the golf tournament and Andrea is her mate from jolly London. They'd been traveling all over Asia and Australia for 8 months or so before they got to New Zealand a day after me.
Back to Fiji. Wow this is getting a bit convoluted already. O! for a muse of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention. There we go, much better...
Mana Island is quite large by Fijian standards. On this island there was a 5-star resort, 3 hostels, and 4 of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. The water is unbelievably clear there. The first time we all went swimming I was scared to let my feet get deep in the water because I thought I'd step on some coral. The coral turned out to be so deep that you could hardly swim deep enough to get close to it, let alone not be able to tread water above it. This clear water made for some great snorkeling and SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus if you were wondering) diving.
Some of the activities we did on Mana were Snorkeling, Deep-sea fishing, a lot of hiking to beaches, and a lot of laying out on those beaches. The snorkeling was world class. Being a fortunate lad I've actually done quite a bit of snorkeling in my days. However, it nearly 8 years since I last went. The first time I dove in I remembered how awesome of an experience it is. Imagine taking the greatest salt-water fish tank you've ever seen and then imagine swimming in it. Take that and make the aquarium billions of times larger with all of the biodiversity that comes with it. Wow, thats all you can say. On sunset beach Angus, Ash, and myself went snorkeling at low tide. It took us about 45 minutes to get over the first reef into the deep water. Now this wasn't the most pleasurable 45 minutes. Basically it consisted of swimming over sharp coral about 6 inches below you. But the feeling I got once we made it to the wall of the reef and looking out into the deep blue sea was absolutely brilliant. I was going to go into the highlights of what we saw but I'll save that for the picture captions.
On to the fishing. I had been telling everyone how I was going to catch the most fish. Being a Minnesota boy I have some sort of God-given talent for catching fish. You could imagine the comments of my friends when I ended the trip being the only one who never caught anything. You see though, while deep-sea fishing you have to take turns who's using the rod or the hand-line. To my credit, being the true gentleman I am, I let lovely Simona of Florence take the first turn and she caught the fish that was technically mine. When it comes to the biggest fish contest the award goes to Sonj. She caught a huge triggerfish but that story belongs to my next entry.
Walking around the island was also fun. We weren't allowed to walk through the 5-star resort but we were able to use their beach. Well, we were supposed to be able to use their beach but we got sent off of there as well. That being said we didn't exactly look 5-star drifting along this beach with a stray dog. Walking across the middle of the island was a jungle. Standing there it felt like you could be in the Amazon or somewhere in India but as soon as you got to the top of a hill you'd be looking out over the endless Pacific with a dozen or so green islands jutting out. That's when you knew you were in the seventh heaven Shangri-La of Fiji.
As for laying out on the beach I was really good about being sun-concious before my friends showed up. That first group of English chicks were really good at reminding me to keep putting on the sunscreen. But when my friends showed up I got burnt the first day. Granted I never got as bad as Sonj, I was pretty red for a bit. Now that I think about it maybe Gemma was worse than Sonj, I guess they all got really red being a bunch of poms. Did I ever mention that they were all English? We were a group of American with 7 token English.
At night we'd all go to the bar and hang out. One great thing about Fiji is there would always be some kind of entertainment at night. Hermit crab races, traditional dances including ones with fire, Kava ceremonies, and lots of general carousing. Kava is the national drink of Fiji. It's made from some root that crushed up and sieved through water. It tastes like dirt but makes your mouth numb and also gives what is described as a "mild narcotic effect." It basically makes you laugh a lot. As this one guy called Moses told us "Alcohol makes us angry, Kava makes us happy." This statement can be taken another way as well. Native Fijians, like Native Americans and Australian Aboriginies lack some enzyme that helps them break down alcohol. Being no biochemist I'm not sure how this works but it does make them more prone to alcoholism so by and large they stick to the Kava. Kava ceremonies are a very important part of their culture, everyone in the village drinks it from the young kids to the elders. At our first one on Mana, Ash was the chief. We all think it's because he was sitting directly across from the bowl. Back up a sec, the Kava is in a large bowl and then they serve it in coconut shells that have been cut in half. Everyone sits in a circle and passes the coconut shells around, you clap once, say Bula, drain the shell, and then clap three times. Back to Ash being the chief, he'd probably say something like "Oi mate, I reckon I'm the chief because of my leadership qualities, unlike you lot of roustabouts." Since we were all sitting together Angus was the warrior and I was the Spokesman. They made me the spokesman because of my good grammar and social skills. Basically this meant that whenever Ash wanted to he could say "Taki" and we'd all get bowls of Kava. He could also say how much we got in the bowl (low tide, high tide, and sometimes tsunami). After we'd been at it for a while they did a couple of icebreakers to help everyone get to know each other. First they went around and had everyone state your name, country of origin, and whether you were single or taken. Then they had everyone sing national anthems. They started with the big groups (English, Italians, French, Swedes were all represented well) and then went with the people who were the sole representative of their country. Everyone had been singing while sitting and doing it pretty quietly at that. Once they got to me I had no choice but to stand up and belt out the Star Spangled Banner with my hand on my heart. At the end I started going USA USA USA as well. I did it very loudly and quite slowly and it was then that I realized our national anthem is a good bit longer than anyone else's. Everyone started cheering after I got to "and our flag was still there" and they were surprised when it kept on going. I got many compliments but I bet more than one of them was grumbling "typical American" when I first started.
As for the crab races they weren't very cool but sometimes you could get into them. I did about 4 of them and always made it to the final but never got into the top 3. I also got to sing the Star Spangled Banner before the final of one of those now that I remember it. The dances were cool too but I'm a bit sick of typing so I'll save the rest for my next Fiji entry, which will hopefully be up soon.

If you don't want to slave in the kitchen on a beautiful Sunday morning, this takes so little time to prepare and you can do so many other things while it is cooking in the oven. The chicken becomes crispy you want to eat all the skin and potatoes absorb all the flavour from the olive oil, lemon juice, tomatoes, onion, oregano, garlic and cinnamon that you cannot stop eating them.
"Kotopoulo" is chicken, "psito" means roast and "sto fourno" means baked in the oven. This would be our usual Sunday lunch, although most of the times my mum and later my dad, would make it with lamb, as Cypriots LOVE lamb! May be I'm the exception because I rarely cook lamb but love it with chicken. I also add a pinch of oregano as well and it's becomes so delicious.
Kotopoulo Psito sto fourno (Chicken Roast)
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Roasting time: About 1 1/2 – 2 hours depending on the oven
Serves: 3 persons
- 1/2 chicken (about 1 kilo), skin on
- 6 medium sized potatoes
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 – 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cup peanut oil or spry (I use olive oil)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- A pinch of cinnamon (I use oregano instead)
- Oregano (optional)
- 1 clove garlic (optional)
- 1/2 cup water
- Wash chicken and make a slit and put the garlic inside.
- Put it into a roasting pan breast facing down.
- Peel and wash the potatoes, which first cut in halves and then make a slit on each half , so that they can cook through. Season with salt and pepper (and oregano) on both meat and potatoes.
- Add oil or spry, lemon juice and water. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C /350 F and roast on one side.
- Turn once and add more water if necessary. Roast until golden and crispy.
- Serve with a Greek salad and tzatziki.
Today he preparated a Greek Chirino Psito sto Fourno (pork roast) with lemony potatoes which suck all the lovely Greek flavours, from the olive oil, garlic and Greek oregano.
You can prepare this roast with chicken, pork, lamb or goat just the same way. If you don't like garlic you can omit it. Onions, tomatoes and carrots are also optional but I urge you to try it as it adds a lot of flavour and taste to the whole roast.
Chirino Psito sto fourno (Greek Pork Roast)
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Roasting time: About 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 hours depending on oven
Serves: 6 persons
1 kilo boneless pork leg (or 6 cutlets)
- 10 medium sized potatoes
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- Salt, pepper, oregano
- 1- 2 cloves of garlic,inserted in the meat
- 11/2 cups of water
- 2 onions cut into thin slices
- 6 carrots, cut into small pieces
- 2 tomates cut into slices
- Wash meat and make a slit and put the garlic inside.
- Put it into a roasting pan. Peel and wash potatoes, which first cut in halves and then each half , cut diagonally, into 2 – 3 pieces. Add onions, carrots and tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper and oregano both meat and potatoes.
- Add olive oil, lemon juice and water.
- Preheat oven at 180 degrees and roast on both sides for about 1 1/2 -2 1/2 hours (depending on your oven and how thick the meat piece is. Less time is required for the cutlets).
- Turn once and add more water if necessary.
Serve with a Greek salad and tzatziki or with a yoghurt mustard mixture: 250 ml yoghurt and 2 tsp mustard.

Optical configuration of a horizontal-switching liquid-crystal cell for improvement of the viewing angle
Applied Optics, Vol. 45, Issue 28, pp. 7279-7285 (2006)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (802 KB)
We propose an optical configuration of a horizontal-switching liquid-crystal
cell, consisting of a splayed liquid-crystal cell and uniaxial films, to improve the viewing
angle characteristics by compensating for the phase dispersion in a diagonal direction. The
optical design of the proposed configuration was performed on a Poincaré sphere with
geometric calculations. By fabricating in-plane switching cells with the introduced
configuration, we demonstrated their optical performances. As a result, we found
that the diagonal viewing angle of the proposed horizontal-switching cell could be increased

Chtaura Park Hotel: The best in the area
We stayed for the night.
The room was luxury compared with our hotel in both Damascus and near Krak de Chavalier, although the latter was impressive.
However, there was a rather tired feel to the Chtaura Park ----faded glory. Perhaps it has been refurbished recently.
Our suite was a good size, the function rooms were enormous and the dining room was vast.
The food was fine although our tour group (Voyages Jules Verne) ate in a private dining area rather than in the empty main room. Was anyone else staying?
Our en-suite room had plenty of beautiful wood, comfortable white chairs and a sofa. The walls were covered in a purple velvetine fabric!
In the morning I explored some of the other rooms and I was amazed to see that a huge card session had obviously finished well through the night! There were briefcases, cards, jackets etc scattered over the tables. It reminded me of 'The Sopranos'!
Would we stay again? Yes.
There are photos of many famour visitors, especially political ones, on the foyer walls.

Is there anyone in New Zealand that belives that Peters did not know about the $100,00? I don't think so.
Free audio stream, including stories that are padlocked on our site. Listen on any device, anywhere. Updated twice daily. The audio stream takes several seconds to start on Android devices.
Launch Radio playerNew Zealand First Leader Winston Peters says he has legal advice that there is no need for him to declare donations to his legal action fund under electoral law or parliamentary and ministerial rules.
The National Party Deputy Leader Bill English has said Prime Minister Helen Clark should say whether she believed Mr Peters acted "ethically and responsibly in meeting his disclosure obligations as a minister in her Government" in the wake of revelations expatriate billionaire Owen Glenn donated $100,000 towards his legal action fund.
Mr Peters told NZPA in his first one-on-one interview since the donation was revealed that there was a "huge difference" between a legal action fund and other political funds.
Under the laws at the time political donations of more than $10,000 had to be declared even if they were anonymous.
MPs are also required to declare donations and financial interests.
Ministers are also bound by Cabinet rules about receiving gifts and how they handle factors that could be seen to influence their decision making.
Mr Peters argued that neither he nor New Zealand First benefited from the legal actions or the funds put it into it.
Mr Peters has strenuously denied any knowledge of the donation before the Friday night phone call from his lawyer Brian Henry told him one had been made.
This lack of knowledge meant he could not declare it before and Mr Peters did not believe Mr Henry had to declare them either.
Asked by NZPA if he should declare them now, Mr Peters replied: "I asked my lawyer about that and the answer is no. Because it is not a campaign issue it is a straight legal cost."
The solicitors account was controlled by the Law Society, he said.
"It is not a trust fund in that respect. It is purely used to pay legal costs."
He said National were talking "unadulterated drivel".
"This is an outgoing, an impost, a cost to fight a legal battle on an action to do with democracy," Mr Peters said.
The legal fund was set up in 1991 when Mr Peters became involved in a series of legal actions.
The most notable of these were relating to the winebox scams.
Mr Peter said an anonymous fund was set up to protect the identity of those who wanted to help fight the cases.
He said people tried to shut him down with defamation actions during the winebox case.
"Many people wanted to help but didn't want to be known because of their business interests or the fact they might become victims of a campaign against them," Mr Peters said.
Mr Peters said he did not gain financially from those cases and the shortfall had cost him "plenty".
"The fact is in the mass of cases I had, where you are paying out hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The bulk of that I met all myself and I don't quite know how that benefits me and conversely my children would think very differently."
Mr Glenn's money has been directly linked to Mr Peters' attempt to overturn National MP Bob Clarkson's election night victory in Tauranga in 2005.
Asked if this action was taken to benefit both Mr Peters and his party (If he had won Mr Peters would have become the local MP), Mr Peters said it was not the point of the case.
It was about how candidates declared expenses.
"I was confronting a crime punishable seriously by law and I set out and found out for the first time ever, that unlike every other party that had given advice to every candidate over decades about having to declare fair and actual costs, this court said he (Mr Clarkson) could have mates rates."
Asked if he had or NZ First had not benefited as it would have had paid $100,000 more without Mr Glenn's donation, Mr Peters replied: "No it doesn't work like that".
In a statement on Friday night , Mr Peters said Mr Henry had decided to break the anonymity rules over the fund and told him Mr Glenn had donated "a sum in the order of $100,000" towards the legal costs of the Tauranga electoral petition.
Some have linked Mr Glenn's donation with his desire to become the honorary consul in Monaco, but this has been dismissed by Mr Peters.
