Tony Tyler's remarks at AVSEC World, which took place in Washington, on 27 October
17-18 September, Lagos. Africa's economic growth is inextricably tied to the dynamism of its air transport industry. In addition to the direct and indirect jobs created by the aviation industry, the promotion of trade within and outside Africa are part of the numerous benefits of aviation that should be harnessed by the African continent.
Vital to the development and growth of the aviation industry in Africa is the issue of safety, which remains African aviation's biggest challenge; government leaders in Africa have committed to the "Africa Safety Strategic Improvement Plan and Targets – Abuja Declaration" by 2015.
In furtherance of this unified vision, the theme of Aviation Day Africa 2013 was "Aviation Safety, Infrastructure and Capacity building - Routes to unlocking Africa's potential".
ITDI supported the event by providing highlights from its safety training program, among others.
21-22 September, Montreal. IATA participated as an official sponsor of the 4th ICAO / McGill Assembly Symposium, held at ICAO Headquarters in Montreal, Canada.
The principal objective of the Symposium was to provide State delegates, industry representatives and other air transport stakeholders with a preparatory forum for the 38th session of the ICAO Assembly that commenced on 24 September 2013.
Top-level speakers addressed in interactive panel discussions key issues related to air transport's sustainable development. With the newest technologies and profitability as important guideposts, the Symposium looked at innovative ways to enhance air transport connectivity. More on ICAO's website
24 September – 4 October, Geneva. During Assembly Sessions, ICAO's complete work program in the technical, economic, legal and technical cooperation fields is reviewed. Assembly outcomes address the Council of ICAO and its Member States in order to guide their continuing and future work. In advance of the Assembly, States and invited international organizations may submit working papers relating to the agenda.
New chapter on Cargo Security: To help air cargo professionals deal with the mushrooming of security initiatives around the world, the newly available TACT October 2013 edition includes a new overview of all the security programs relevant to international air cargo operations, including country security information together with details on security programs, industry standards and recommended practices.

Hi Marc, Thanks for another clean neat layout.. jus a query, that if it's possible to change the current video player, to your New Video Player instead? and having that as a pop-up, and also for the fullscreen background…can you please advice.. THANKS .
Any word on the updates Marc? I really need to plan ASAP the implementation of my site. Thanks.
Hi Marc,
Great theme. Really love it. Is there any way to have each page present its own meta tags rather than ONE index.html meta tags for the entire site?
I know it's ajax, but do you think there's a work-around. Let me know as soon as you can.
Hmm. I didn't think about the meta tags for the individual pages. That's a good idea. I'll look into it and see if I can't roll it out with the next update.
How is the update going? Thanks.
Just doing some final testing. Sorry for the delay. My wife had a baby and I thought I'd have loads of time off from the day job to TF it up. Turns out I had no time. Things are getting back to normal and the updated file should be ready by end of this week. Thanks for your patience.
Thanks for that. Congratulations on the new arrival! That's a great excuse – no worries at all
Hey Marc,
Congrats on the baby. Take your time. No need to rush with the update. Especially now that you're a daddy.
Just wanted to mention that it's important for the individual pages to have their own titles also. You know, the SEO stuff…It's important.
Beautiful design as always.
I recently purchased your design and customized it but when I upload it to my host/domain something's keeping it from loading properly. Any help is appreciated in advance.
Some wed servers do support "POST" ajax calls. The fix is to open the "js/website.js" file and look for "POST" and replace it with "GET".
That should do it.
Hello Marc,
yesterday i have bought this template. It's fantastic!!!!!! A very great and simple style!
I have two questions.
1) Is it possible to build a automatic slideshow in the gallery?
2) Is it possible to play music on the website?
Currently no and no.
I have a javascript version of the gallery that uses a jquery plugin that should allow slideshows, it's a week or 2 away from release.
As for the music. You could add a flash MP3 player or use html5 to add audio, but straight out of the box it doesn't have them.
Hi Marc—love this theme! I saw that you were working on a Wordpress version of the theme. Is that up and running yet? If so, I'd love to purchase it! (i'm a 1st time theme purchaser and don't want to revise a lot of code).
still about 3 weeks out. hopefully less.
Great design. I need to input a lot of text. Viewed from a desktop computer (latest versions of Safari and Firefox), when the text reaches the bottom, I don't have the ability to scroll, as a result the text is cut off. From an ipad/iphone, the text scrolls but the text disappears when the user hits the bottom of the image (obviously since it text is white and the image is dark).
Is there an option to scroll only the text so the user can view large amounts of text?
Your help is much appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Marc,
great theme – really enjoy working with it. Few questions though: any idea how I can add up links to other language versions on the home page without messing up the code? And: any news on the anticipated update?
All best.
Sorry to hassle Marc but do you have an ETA for the update please? Thank you.
Just wondering if your emigre player supports vimeo? Is it possible to have full screen vimeo clips? Unfortunately I don't have Flash so I can't look at the code in emigre_player.fla. Thank you.
Vimeo has it's own separate video player. Mine is youtube and local only.
Hi Marc,
I figured out how to do language versions by now (even though I didn't manage to turn the logo into a link button), but I'm wondering if there is any way to subcategorise the menu items: is there a workaround that would let you assign a different pop-up box (info) content to images or videos in the same slider? As it is now, each category would always feature the same info and link in every picture contained in it…
Currently no. But let me look into it and think about how to solve that problem.
Hi Marc,
I know this most likely has nothing to do with your code, but I notice that reverse text (ie. white on dark) looks very rough on an iOS device. I'm sure you've noticed it. I have spent some time googling the issue but can't seem to find any answers. Could you possibly point me in the right direction?
Thank you.
Would love a Wordpress version, any update on the schedule?
How's the update going now – we really need a realistic (and honest) ETA please. Thanks.
This upcoming long weekend I'll make sure to carve out some time and get the update done. So plan on downloading it on Tuesday the 21ST (a week from today).
Thanks very much – appreciate it.
Hi, I love your template, I purchsed it, but I need this…_ 1. Social icons 2. How I take off the shadow of the logo? 3. How I change the colour text, I dont´t found the way… (sorry…) 4. How I can have a page foot?
I know you are working in an update but if you can help me…
Thank you very much
Hi, Finally I could change the color and remove de shadows… only one more question: How I change the colour of the titles on the text?
Thank you very much

Did Chevrolet offer a "Campers Special " option in 1990 ? I have inside my glove box a label stating 'TRUCK CAMPER LOADING INFORMATION' and I have a sales brochure from 1990 and nowhere does it say a work about a Camper Special in it. But I know and have seen GM Chevy "Camper Special" emblems and other ornament from the trucks built in the seventies and eighties ? Just wondering if anyone knew a history about this ?
I would say better spring rate in the back and shocks? By the way I was in Westchester Pa this morning Do you have power? Lots of ice and trees down
Oh hell yeah, I live about 2 miles from a PECO power plant, Well I'm not really sure it's still a power plant anymore, usually a 100 car coal train would come though here on Monday morning, But I ain't heard one in a year or more, so. . But we have power down here on the Delaware River. West Chester about 25 miles up PA route 3. We got a s*&^LO0465 of rain then it started to freeze then an hour later the temp managed to inch it's way up to 34 degrees and we had a lot of frozen ice on the wires but it changed to rain and is all gone. Got the truck cleared off and drain all the water in it's bed by backing out of my driveway and just let the back two tires hit the street, water pours out.Navigator- Black Stainless Steel TriLenium® Polarized Lensne. but it's 8PM and the temps are at 29 degrees
I searched but couldnt find any "Camper Special" info from GM after the early eighties. There was info about camper loading but it didnt make any references the trucks had any "Camper Special" package. I know this package was widely available on 1500, 2500, and 3500 4x4 and dually trucks through the seventies. But as Campers died in popularity to trailers the packages disappeared.
Yeah, I bought two of the 1990 Chevrolet sales brochure's at the auction site, and the second version has every topic but not a word of any kind about a camper insert, but it does go to length about your towing capacity. So I can only assume they were pushing away the top heavy slide-in camper. Oh well, they did give the trailer / camper weight info label in the glove box.
There wasn't a model or option called "Camper Special" but you could spec out heavier springs for hauling campers.

Tom Tancredo is glad that it's Osama, not Obama, who's dead. Really!
While Governor John Hickenlooper was tangling with legislative leaders Tuesday, Tom Tancredo, the renegade candidate who got 36 percent of the vote in the gubernatorial race last November, was tangling with MSNBC host Martin Bashir.
Who won? You be the judge.
Back in July 2010, in a Washington Times op-ed, Tancredo had written: "Mr. Obama is a more serious threat to America than al Qaeda. We know that Osama bin Laden and followers want to kill us but at least they are an outside force against whom we can offer our best defense."
The death of Osama bin Laden inspired MSNBC to revive that statement, and during an interview Tuesday, Bashir asked Tancredo: "To follow your logic, would you have preferred, then, the death of the President as opposed to bin Laden?"
"No. Of course not," Tancredo replied. "My God. And that is not a logical assumption anybody can make."
After a wild day on the blogosphere yesterday, Tancredo offers this: "Bashir apparently made his bones by interviewing Michael Jackson. He should stick to drugged-up pop stars. "
Watch the video here.
Before he ran for governor, before he ran for president, Tom Tancredo was already making waves. Read Michael Roberts's 2003 profile of the pol here.

SACRAMENTO -- California faces the risk not just of devastating earthquakes but also of a catastrophic storm that could tear at the coasts, inundate the Central Valley and cause four to five times as much economic damage as a large quake, scientists and emergency planners warn.
The potential for such a storm was described at a conference of federal and California officials that ended Friday. Combining advanced flood mapping and atmospheric projections with data on California's geologic flood history, more than 100 scientists calculated the probable consequences of a "superstorm" carrying tropical moisture from the South Pacific and dropping up to 10 feet of rain across the state.
"Floods are as much a part of our lives in California as earthquakes are," said Lucy Jones, the chief scientist for the U.S. Geological Survey's multi-hazards initiative, adding, "We are probably not going to be able to handle the biggest ones."
The geological survey estimates that such a storm could cause up to $300 billion in damage. The scientists' models estimate that almost one-fourth of the houses in California could experience some flood damage from one.
The conference was convened by the geological survey, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the California Emergency Management Agency to help disaster-response planners draft new strategies to limit the storms' impact.
Climate scientists have for years noted that the rising temperature of the earth's atmosphere increases the amount of energy it stores, making more violent and extreme weather events more likely.
Californians have learned to expect earthquakes, such as the recent 4.1-magnitude temblor that struck south of San Jose, the way Floridians expect hurricanes.
The existing engineering systems that dispose of floodwater are so efficient that the effects of moderate storms often go unnoticed, Jones said. So while many Californians know whether they live or work close to an earthquake-prone fault and what to do should there be a serious quake, few realize that the state could be hit by storms that at their worst could rival the largest hurricanes that devastate the Gulf Coast and the southeastern Atlantic Seaboard.
Yet vast floods have also been documented, both through tree-ring data and more modern historical records. Marcia K. McNutt, the director of the geological survey, said that 150 years ago, over a few weeks in the winter of 1861-62, enough rain fell to inundate a stretch of the Central Valley 300 miles long and 20 miles wide, from north of Sacramento south to Bakersfield, near the eastern desert.
The storms lasted 45 days, creating lakes in parts of the Mojave Desert and, according to a survey account, "turning the Sacramento Valley into an inland sea, forcing the state capital to be moved from Sacramento to San Francisco for a time, and requiring Gov. Leland Stanford to take a rowboat to his inauguration."
Just like a major earthquake, a superstorm could be a severe blow to the state's agriculture and to the water-supply system that now diverts water from the north to Southern California.
Jones said in an interview that improved satellite imagery available in recent years allowed scientists to clearly identify what they call "atmospheric rivers" -- moisture-filled air currents up to 200 miles wide and 2,000 miles long, which flow from tropical regions of the Pacific Ocean to the West Coast.
The West Coast winter weather systems popularly known as the Pineapple Express, air currents carrying moisture from the Hawaiian Islandsare just one moderate subset of these rivers, Jones said. The abbreviation for atmospheric river, A.R., gave the geological survey the root of its name for these major weather events, which they call ARk storms.

Dr. Treat is very polite and friendly. He really seems concerned about my condition and is very knowledgable. He spends a good amount of time and answers all my questions without rushing me out of the room like some doctors do. He has even told me about his personal life and health conditions he has...very rare for a doctor. He doesn't act like he's on a higher level than me like I've felt with other doctors. I would definately recommend him.

Ecology and biodiversity cannot be ignored, and integrating ecology and development is the biggest challenge facing the State, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has said.
He was speaking after inaugurating the International Day for Biological Diversity and presenting the Green awards at a function organised by the Kerala State Biodiversity Board at the Kanakakkunnu Palace here on Wednesday.
Mr. Chandy said development initiatives that affected the ecology were harmful to the country. Citing environmental issues, the State had been denied permission for constructing dams.
The State, which had been depending on hydro-electric power as it was cheap, was now reeling under power crisis and facing lot of problems, he said.
The Chief Minister said his government was committed to protecting the environment and biodiversity, and ensuring the development of the State. The attitude of the people had changed over the years and concerted efforts were needed for protecting environment and biodiversity, waste management, and avoiding plastic.
Kerala State Biodiversity Board chairman Oommen V. Oommen, member secretary K.P. Laladhas, Divisional Railway Manager Rajesh Agrawal, Principal CCF, Social Forestry, B.S. Kori, and Chief Executive Officer of the State Medicinal Plant Board K. G. Sreekumar spoke.

Research Note—Prerelease Demand Forecasting for Motion Pictures Using Functional Shape Analysis of Virtual Stock Markets
Prerelease demand forecasting is one of the most crucial yet difficult tasks facing marketers in the $60 billion motion picture industry. We propose functional shape analysis (FSA) of virtual stock markets (VSMs) to address this long-standing challenge. In VSMs, prices of a movie's stock reflect the dynamic demand expectations prior to the movie's release. Using FSA, we identify a small number of distinguishing shapes, e.g., the last-moment velocity spurt, that carry information about a movie's future demand and produce early and accurate prerelease forecasts. We find that although forecasting errors from the existing methods, e.g., those that rely on movie features, can be as high as 90.87%, our approach results in an error of only 4.73%. Because demand forecasting is especially useful for managerial decision making when provided a movie's release, we further demonstrate how our method can be used for early forecasting and compare its power against alternative approaches. We also discuss the theoretical implications of the discovered shapes that may help managers identify indicators of a potentially successful movie early and dynamically.

The owners wife took all culpability when she tried to fire on a round that did not chamber completley. The minute that he said she used the forward assist I knew what happened. I am guessing either a case that didnt get sized properly or a shallow primer. No marks on the case that would indicate debris in the chamber. |

winchester 52B
I agree with the guy in the post it is hard to find parts. Could any of you possibly help me? I have been looking for what seems to be an out of production part. My father has an older model Winchester 52B that we have been trying to find a replacement trigger for. No luck so far. He has challenged me. . He said if I could find the part that he would leave this old relic to me in his will... Can anyone give me any information or leads on where to find one or a gun smith that would be able to build one from scratch? I really want this antique once he has finished with it!

Truth..The guy who brought me into the business died at 40 with no health insurance, bankrupt. He actually had a pretty good run for a while. I felt like a heel for quitting that job but I had about $125.00 to my name when I did.
Gunsmithing is an incredibly hard business to run as a business, not a hobby. I think the next decade will see gunsmithing shrink into small enclaves of specialists, and prices begin to climb accordingly. It's sad, because there have been some incredible specialties and eras that the general public will probably never even know about, much less appreciate the incredible craftsmanship that went into the work. |

I would check out Trinidad State College for their gunsmithing program. I graduated from there many years ago, and it was a good program. You also get a lot of machining experience in their program. By the way, where in Colorado are you located ?

Getting to know new daughter Maxwell Drew, who was born May 1, has been a joy for Jessica Simpson. But there's another, more distressing side to motherhood that's weighing heavily on the Fashion Star mentor: her desperate struggle to regain her pre-pregnancy body.
Of course, no one expects any new mom to look slim just six weeks after giving birth. But Jessica, 31, recently inked a $4 million deal to be the new spokesperson for Weight Watchers, so she's feeling extra pressure to shed the reported 70 lbs. she put on during pregnancy, when her cravings for buttered Pop-Tarts and cookie-brownie hybrid desserts took over her diet. And friends say she's already failing at her weight-loss goals.
"She's having trouble even getting out of bed in the morning, her energy is so low," an insider says.
Celebrity weight coach Alicia Hunter tells Star, "Jessica is still retaining fluid, and if she's breast-feeding, she's likely ravenous and still eating like a truck driver. She's also most likely lacking in the sleep department, which makes any new mom reach for sugar and carbs."
Pick up the new issue of Star on newsstands for more on Jessica's weight battle!

Nov 16, 2012Hero Academy on PC might not be totally necessary, but it remains a great bit of asynchronous warfare. What it boils down to is the best of strategy gaming- a title that's light and welcoming for players who want a quick tactical fix, and also an involved, sometimes hellishly meticulous war of wits and attrition.
Oct 1, 2012Might, magic, and machine guns make Hero Academy a real treat.
Sep 7, 2012A lightweight distraction, but adding a competitive ladder or some more singleplayer content would've been welcome.
Sep 6, 2012Hero Academy is a fun title with some good ideas that fit to a casual mindset but also allow more serious gamers to enjoy as well. My main problem has to do with waiting for moves, and the fact that I can't play against bots while waiting for turns to finish.
Sep 5, 2012Hero Academy is a fun little game that gives a new dimension to games like chess. There is a good balance between the characters and the different abilities give you lots of room for various strategies. Although it's nice to see a Steam version of Hero Academy, it's still a game that works best on a mobile platform.

Jewish Self-Loathing and denial By Rabbi Nathan Lopes Cardozo
Want to make sense of what seems inexplicable? Here's a historical analysis with modern-day implications
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
One of the most common psychological defense mechanisms used by human beings is denial. We all repress unpleasant experiences and do not want to be confronted with reality when it is too uncomfortable. Sigmund Freud was the first to postulate the theory and draw attention to it.
In the Torah we read about a bizarre complaint brought against Moses. After the Israelites had witnessed the 10 plagues and downfall of Pharaoh, and then left Egypt, Moses was accused by his own people of having brought disaster upon them. Once they realized Pharaoh was chasing them, they said: Every weekday JewishWorldReview.com publishes "must-reading". Sign up for the daily update. It's free. Just click here.
I would like to suggest that they did not intend to deny the past, but rather the futurenot that it did not happen, but that it would not happen again!
They said to themselves: Now that Pharaoh has been without us for some time, he has surely realized that we are a great asset to his nation and the future of his government. He needs the "yiddishe kup" (Jewish brains) to run and develop his country. So let us return home in triumph! We shall be received with dignity and prestige. Don't you realize, Moses, that Pharaoh's chasing after us is really a clear indication of his desire to escort us peacefully back to Egypt and offer us comfortable homes and food? We are afraid of them only because your refusal to allow us to go home will lead to chaos and pandemonium, and they will kill us out of frustration. Pharaoh has learned his lesson, and from now on we will indeed live in contentment, partaking of Egypt's bread and pots of meat! Why can't you see this?
Even after the splitting of the Red Sea, this argument is still convincing. The Divine only split the Red Sea to show Pharaoh and the Egyptians what a glorious people we are. We are protected by the Almighty and therefore of invaluable importance to Egypt. We will be given the most prestigious offices in the country. This has opened up a new world and it is time to realize that. And if you, Moses, ask us how we know that this is exactly what He has in mind, we respond that He would otherwise have given us plenty of food in the desert, and we would not have been chased by Pharaoh. The Divine would have crushed Pharaoh's chariots the moment he left Egypt. So, all that is happening to us is a clear indication that we are ethically, and even halachically, obligated to return to Egypt!
The reason why Pharaoh did all these terrible things to us is because his astrologers told him that a male child would one day be born to the Israelites and would rescue them from their plight (3), and therefore he started killing our boys. But if we would have made it clear that we wanted to stay, and if no dreams of freedom would have tempted us, nothing unpleasant would have happened. We would have remained and been part of the Egyptian kultur gesellschaft (cultural society) and everything would have been fine. But now, since we acted out of double loyalties, we are paying the price.
This may very well have been the reason why Moses, standing at the burning bush, shied away from His command to be the redeemer, claiming that he had a speech impediment (4). He did not want to take this task on himself, because he realized that when he would return to Egypt the Jews would say to him: It all started with you. Because of you, our children were killed. So leave us alone and forget your aspirations to be our redeemer. That would indeed have rendered him speechless.
The complaints of the Israelites after leaving Egypt were only the beginning of a long history of grandiose Jewish self-deception. To this day, these attitudes often create the foundations of Jewish self-repudiation and self-loathing, which become the root of animosity towards anyone who does not join this self-imposed denial of the Jewish cause.
Looking back through Jewish history and now at current events, including in Israel, we recognize the above arguments as being all too familiar.

Lobos top Aztecs to earn first-place tie
The University of New Mexico Lobo men's basketball team pulled even with the San Diego State Aztecs for the top spot in the Mountain West with a win in Albuquerque Saturday. The Lobos held the Aztecs to just 22 points in each half as they earned a 58-44 victory in The Pit to knot up the top spot in the conference. UNM and San Diego State will meet once more, in southern California, in a game which could well decide the regular season title. The Lobos (21-5 overall, 12-2 in MW) allowed the Aztecs (23-3, 12-2) to convert just 30.6 percent of their chances from the floor in the first half. The Aztecs did little better in the second half, making just 10 field goals. UNM was in danger of playing itself right out of a chance for the conference regular season title and the top seed in the upcoming MW tournament with a loss to Boise State Feb. 12. But with back-to-back wins over UNLV — which handed the Lobos their first conference loss — and the Aztecs, who were ranked sixth in the country heading into Saturday's game, have propelled UNM to the top of the standings. Cameron Bairstow led the way for the Lobos with 26 points and 9 rebounds. Kendall Williams added 10 points and Cullen Neal had 8 off the bench.

Lobos tripped up by Broncos The University of New Mexico Lobo men's basketball team had a chance to pull even with the San Diego State Aztecs Wednesday night, but it couldn't hold on to a late lead against the Boise State Broncos. UNM's Kendall Williams buried a 3-pointer with :31 remaining at Boise, but Derrick Marks of Boise State was fouled with :14 remaining and nailed both clutch free throws as the Broncos upended the Lobos 71-70. A win by the Lobos would've tied them with the Aztecs for the lead in the Mountain West conference — San Diego State, the No. 5 team in the nation, was upset by Wyoming Tuesday night in Laramie — but the Broncos erased a 12-point lead the Lobos had built up late in the first half to earn the victory. Williams had a big night for the Lobos (18-5 overall) finishing with 22 points, while Cameron Bairstow added 20 and Alex Kirk finished with 13 points and 9 boards. But the Broncos actually won the battle on the glass by a wide margin, 35-25. The Broncos (16-9, 6-6 in MW) were paced by Anthony Drmic's 18 points, while Thomas Bropleh finished with 14.

Aggies fall in critical WAC contest vs. Idaho
The New Mexico State Aggie men's basketball team lost a lead at the half for the first time this season Thursday night. NMSU was up 36-32 over the Idaho Vandals in Moscow, but the Vandals outscored NMSU by 10 points in the second half to win a big Western Athletic Conference contest, 73-67. Idaho (9-14 overall, 3-6 in the WAC) got 24 points from Stephen Madison, who led all scorers. Madison went 8 of 18 from the floor and also finished with 8 rebounds. The loss was a disappointing one for the Aggies (17-8, 6-3 in the WAC), who just last week pulled to within a game of Utah Valley for the conference lead. Now the Aggies are two full games back of Utah Valley with seven conference games left to play. Daniel Mullings, who won two consecutive Player of the Week honors coming into this week, had 20 points and DK Eldridge and Kevin Aronis finished with 12. Mullings' points tied him with former Aggie standout Charles Gosa for 13th on the all-time scoring list at the school. NMSU will be at Seattle U Saturday. NMSU topped Seattle 96-87 Jan. 9 in Las Cruces.

Lobos survive scare in OT vs. Cowboys
ALBUQUERQUE — It was a perfect Wyoming February outside — cold and snowy white — but inside the Lobos' Pit the Cowboys' gallant bid for a Mountain West upset also turned cold as the University of New Mexico men's basketball team escaped with a gut-wrenching 66-61 overtime win. Lobo head coach Craig Neal said after the game that it didn't appear his players listened to him when he said, "This isn't going to be a cakewalk. This is going to be one of the toughest games you play." And it was. The Cowboys had the ball at the close of regulation and Larry Nance Jr. threw up a short jumper over Alex Kirk that failed to fall ending regulation in a 57-57 tie. "We didn't play as well as we were capable of playing, but they made it difficult on us," said Neal. "Our guys hung in there and we made big free throws. We didn't shoot the ball very well outside and Kendall (Williams) was having an off night. But he's a clutch kid and he had some big free throws." The Lobos (18-4 overall, 9-1 in the Mountain West) took control of the overtime period quickly with a Cameron Bairstow dunk and packaged several critical Wyoming turnovers with some timely Williams' free throws.

State Briefs 01-31-14
Aggies earn big WAC win over Bakersfield The New Mexico State University Aggie men's basketball team came back from a late deficit to knock off the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners. Daniel Mullings had four critical points in the final 48 seconds of the game as the Aggies topped the Roadrunners 89-86 at the Pan American Center in Las Cruces. Mullings, who won his third WAC Player of the Week honors after scoring a career-high 32 points against Texas Pan-American last weekend, finished with 19 points Thursday night. NMSU (16-7 overall, 5-2 in the WAC) went to the foul line 44 times against Bakersfield and shot better than 53 percent from the floor. Those were numbers NMSU needed as it turned the ball over 14 times Thursday, which translated to 24 points on the other end for the Roadrunners (8-13, 1-6). Sim Bhullar, who has missed all six of NMSU's WAC games up to this point with a foot injury, finished with 13 points for the Aggies, who needed the win over Bakersfield to keep pace with undefeated Utah Valley near the top of the WAC standings.

UNM gets big MWC victory
ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico has been waiting all season for this Hugh Greenwood to show up: The Greenwood who can bomb from the outside, unclogging the interior. That Greenwood finally showed up Tuesday with five 3-pointers and a 20-point night that more than doubled his season high to help the Lobos to an 84-75 victory over Boise State. "I think we've always expected that when we started the season for him to shoot the ball that well," said New Mexico coach Craig Neal. "I think he's been so instrumental in trying to get our team together, chemistry wise." But with an injured right wrist that kept him out of two games and hampered him in a handful others, Greenwood was not stepping up. "He's passed up shots in the past," Neal said. "But I think he played really free tonight. He played the way I envisioned him playing. I think he can make shots like that." Perhaps his biggest moment came with eight minutes remaining when the Broncos (13-6, 3-3 Mountain West) had trimmed a 32-15 New Mexico (14-4, 5-1) lead in the first half to 66-59. Greenwood's 3-pointer from the wing restored the lead to 10 points. "He was terrific tonight and made some big shots," Neal said.

U.S. vehicle CO2 emissions still almost double Europe and Japan
Article Summary
Despite ongoing efforts to wean itself off the teat of foreign oil, the U.S. car market is still almost twice as polluting as Europe and Japan. This new finding from automotive data provider, JATO Dynamics, comes despite the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) – better known as "cash for clunkers" – program that replaced over 690,000 vehicles on the roads with more fuel-efficient models and the fact that American consumers are significantly more inclined to adopt Hybrid technology than Europeans. Then why is it so?

Tatiana Golovin (Татья́на Голови́на; born January 25, 1988 in Moscow) is a former Russian-born French professional tennis player. She won the 2004 French Open mixed doubles event with Richard Gasquet, and reached the singles quarterfinal at the 2006 US Open, losing to the eventual champion Maria Sharapova. Her highest singles ranking to date is 12. In 2008 she was diagnosed with lower back inflammation and was forced to stop playing competitive tennis indefinitely.[2]
Golovin spent six years at Nick Bollettieri's tennis camp in Bradenton, Florida. In the latter part of her career she was coached by former World No. 1 Mats Wilander, having previously been coached by Brad Gilbert and Dean Goldfine.
Tour debut (2002–2003)[edit]
Golovin made her ITF Circuit debut at Cagnes-sur-Mer (France) in 2002. She played in three more ITF events (including one semifinal) later that year, but she failed to qualify for the French Open.
In 2003, Golovin won her first WTA Tour main draw match at Indian Wells against No. 146 Gisela Dulko (losing in the second round to Italian Francesca Schiavone). Golovin lost in the first round at Miami, Strasbourg and Roland Garros. She also played in four ITF Circuit events.
At the Australian Open, Golovin (as No. 354, with wild card) upset No. 14 seed Anna Smashnova in the second round and No. 23 seed Lina Krasnoroutskaya in the third round (on her 16th birthday), before falling to No. 25 seed Lisa Raymond in the fourth round. It was just her second Grand Slam tournament and fifth Tour event she entered, and afterwards, on February 2, she rose to No. 136 in the WTA ranking.
At Roland Garros, Golovin won the mixed doubles trophy with Richard Gasquet, as a Wild Card team, defeating Cara Black/Wayne Black. They became the youngest champions in 23 years (16 for Golovin, 17 for Gasquet). At Wimbledon, she reached the fourth round, with wins over Alina Jidkova, Francesca Schiavone, and Emmanuelle Gagliardi, before falling to World No. 10 Serena Williams.
Golovin reached the semifinal at the Paris Indoors, losing to Mary Pierce, after beating world No. 10 Elena Dementieva in the quarterfinal for her first Top 10 win. In her first Tour grass court main draw at Birmingham, Golovin reached her first Tour singles final, which she lost to Maria Sharapova in 3 sets. Golovin reached her first Tier I quarterfinal in Montreal at the Rogers Cup, losing to Vera Zvonareva. Afterwards, she also reached the quarterfinal in Luxembourg, losing to eventual champion Alicia Molik.
Golovin was a member of the France Fed Cup team, that defeated Italy in the quarterfinal and Spain in the semifinal, before falling to Russia in the final, in which she defeated No. 5 Svetlana Kuznetsova. During the year, she debuted in the Top 100 on February 16 (at No. 91), and in the Top 50 on June 14 (at No.50).
Aged 17 years and eight months, Golovin reached the final in Tokyo at the Japan Open as No. 3 seed, losing to No. 2 seed Nicole Vaidišová, aged 16 years and five months. Golovin retired with a left achilles tendinitis, trailing 7–6(4) 3–2. She was also five-time semifinalist on four different surfaces: on hardcourt at Gold Coast, losing to Schnyder in 3 sets and later that year again on hardcourt at Seoul, losing to Jelena Janković in three sets; on carpet at Paris Indoors, which was her second straight semifinalthere, losing the third set tie-break against Dinara Safina; clay at Charleston, where she secured her third career Top 10 victory versus No. 8 Venus Williams en route to her first Tier I semifinal, before falling to Justine Henin-Hardenne in 2 sets; and grass at Birmingham, losing to Maria Sharapova.
Golovin also reached the quarterfinal at Linz losing to Ana Ivanovic. She achieved a career-best performance at Roland Garros, reaching the third round as No. 17 seed, before falling to No. 12 seed Elena Bovina, and reaching an equal-best performance at the US Open, losing as No. 23 seed in the third round to No. 15 seed Nathalie Dechy in three sets. Golovin also made back-to-back fourth round appearances at Tier I hardcourt events in Indian Wells and Miami, losing to No.5 Elena Dementieva in three sets at both events.
She made her Top 20 debut (at No. 18) after her semi-final appearance at Charleston.
At her first tournament of the year in Gold Coast, Golovin reached the quarterfinal, losing to finalist Flavia Pennetta in three sets. She then lost in the first round of the Australian Open to Italian Mara Santangelo. Golovin reached her third consecutive Paris Indoors semifinal, defeating Nadia Petrova in the quarterfinals. The victory over world No. 7 Petrova was the fourth top 10 win of her career. She then lost to top seed and eventual champion Amélie Mauresmo.
Golovin reached her second career Tier I semifinal at Miami, where she defeated world No. 8 Elena Dementieva in the fourth round for her fifth career top 10 victory and 100th career singles match win. In the semifinal, Golovin overcame a 5–1 deficit and four match points while down 5–3 in second set versus Maria Sharapova, pushing the match to a third set before she sprained her left ankle and retired at 3–6 7–6(5) 3–4.[3] She made her return to the WTA Tour at Roland Garros, falling in the first round to Jie Zheng. Golovin went 2–1 in France's 3–2 Fed Cup World Group I Play-off victory over the Czech Republic.
Golovin's third semifinal of the season was at Stanford, where as an unseeded player, she upset Ai Sugiyama and Anna-Lena Grönefeld on the way to losing to No. 2 seed Patty Schnyder. Golovin then reached the quarterfinal of the US Open, defeating Nadia Petrova for the second time in 2006 in the third round and Anna Chakvetadze in the fourth. She then lost to No. 3 seed and eventual champion Maria Sharapova. After a first round exit in Luxembourg following the U.S. Open, Golovin reached her first final since the Japan Open Tennis Championships in 2005 at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart by defeating Elena Likhovtseva in the first round, Iveta Benešová in the second, Michaëlla Krajicek in the quarterfinal, and 5th seed Patty Schnyder in the semifinal. Golovin then lost to Nadia Petrova in the final.
Golovin started 2007 at the Hopman Cup in Perth, Australia, a non-Tour event. She won her first singles match, defeating American Ashley Harkleroad. She pulled out of the mixed doubles match with partner Jérôme Haehnel, citing an ankle injury. She then defeated Australian Alicia Molik, but then lost to Russian Nadia Petrova. Her first event of the WTA season was the Medibank International held in Sydney. In the first round, she beat Peng Shuai before falling to the top seed Amélie Mauresmo in the second round.
At the Australian Open Golovin fell in the third round to 16th seed Shahar Pe'er in a three-hour match. Her next event was the Paris Indoors, where she lost in the third round to Justine Henin, who was playing her first tournament since her divorce. At the 2007 Proximus Diamond Games held in Antwerp, she beat Katarina Srebotnik, fifth seed Patty Schnyder and Elena Likhovtseva en route to the semifinals, where she lost to Belgian Kim Clijsters.
In the Tier I Indian Wells, Golovin was the thirteenth seed. In the first round, she beat Aiko Nakamura, and then defeated Samantha Stosur. During her fourth round match-up against Nadia Petrova, the Russian retired, allowing Golovin to set up a quarterfinal match-up with surprise quarterfinalist Sybille Bammer. Golovin was the heavy favourite for this match, but she lost this match. On April 8, 2007, Golovin won her first WTA title at the Bausch & Lomb Championships in Amelia Island, Florida, defeating Nadia Petrova on green clay.[4]
At Wimbledon, Golovin lost in the second round to 16-year-old, unseeded Tamira Paszek. This was considered to be a major upset.[5] Golovin attracted attention from the media and Wimbledon officials by wearing bright red undergarments – prompting a check of the "predominantly white" rule. At the Acura Classic in California, she lost to top seed Sharapova in the third round. Golovin returned to action at the Rogers Cup in Toronto, Canada where she reached the semifinals, eventually losing to Jelena Janković. She entered the 2007 US Open Women's Singles event as the No. 17 seed, but was upset in the first round by American wildcard Ahsha Rolle.
Later that year, Golovin went on to win her second career title in Portorož, defeating home favourite Katarina Srebotnik in the final. She then competed in the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, a tournament that had eight of the world's top 10 players in the field. She equalled her previous year's finish, reaching the final before losing to Justine Henin. A fortnight later, Golovin had the chance to her avenge her loss to Henin at the 2007 Zürich Open. This was her first final in a Tier I tournament, however Henin defeated her once again.
Golovin started the 2008 season representing France at the Hopman Cup in Perth, where the team was facing Taiwan, Serbia and Argentina in their group. Golovin was victorious in singles, winning all of her matches. She had partnered Arnaud Clément for the doubles matches, and the team had a 2–1 record there. As a result, France finished second overall.
Her next event was the Tier II tournament in Sydney, where she beat Tzipi Obziler to advance to round two. However, she was defeated by Jelena Janković, whom she had beaten by retirement just a week ago at the Hopman Cup.
Golovin entered the 2008 Australian Open as the No. 13 seed, her highest ever seeding in a grand slam. She got past compatriot Stéphanie Cohen-Aloro in her opener, but lost in the second round to another fellow French player, Aravane Rezaï.
Golovin was then scheduled to represent France in the Fed Cup team competition versus China before going on to defend her semi-final points in Antwerp. However, due to yet another injury for Golovin, this time to her back, she was forced to pull out of both competitions. A small consolation in this time period was the fact that, due to Nadia Petrova failing to defend her title at Paris in 2007, she climbed a spot to a career high ranking of 12.
Golovin entered the WTA Tier III Memphis tournament in March. However she lost in the first round to Bethanie Mattek. Then in April, she competed on the ITF $100k Cagnes-sur-Mer tournament, but ended up falling in the second round to Maret Ani. Next she suffered another early exit in May, losing in the first round of the WTA Tier II Berlin tournament to Caroline Wozniacki.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she had partnered with Pauline Parmentier, but the team had to withdraw due to Golovin's back injury. After missing a total of four successive months due to medical concerns with her back, she eventually pulled out of the 2008 U.S. Open.[6] She was diagnosed with lower back inflammation and was forced to stop playing competitive tennis indefinitely.[2]
Subsequent career[edit]
She appeared in the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition alongside Daniela Hantuchová and Maria Kirilenko in a pictoral entitled Volley of the Dolls.[7]
As of 2013, Golovin is still retired from professional tennis. She has forged a career in broadcasting, working for French television.[8]

Product description
Waugh's own unhappy experience of being a soldier is superbly re-enacted in this story of Guy Crouchback, a Catholic and a gentleman, commissioned into the Royal Corps of Halberdiers during the war years 1939-45. High comedy - in the company of Brigadier Ritchie-Hook or the denizens of Bellamy's Club - is only part of the shambles of Crouchback's war. When action comes in Crete and in Yugoslavia, he discovers not heroism, but humanity. "Sword of Honour" combines three volumes: "Officers and Gentlemen", "Men at Arms" and "Unconditional Surrender", which were originally published separately. Extensively revised by Waugh, they were published as the one-volume "Sword of Honour" in 1965, in the form in which Waugh himself wished them to be read.

Author information
Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966) was born in London and educated at Oxford. He quickly established a reputation with such social satirical novels as DECLINE AND FALL, VILE BODIES and SCOOP. Waugh became a Catholic in 1930, and his later books display a more serious attitude, as seen in the religious theme of BRIDESHEAD REVISITED, a nostalgic evocation of student days at Oxford. His diaries were published in 1976, and his letters in 1980.
Editorial reviews
Both a "recension" (Waugh before his death excised some of the original material) as well as a one-volume publication of the World War II trilogy - Men at Arms (1952) Officers and Gentleman (1955) and Unconditional Surrender (1961) which Waugh thought of as "obituary of the Roman Catholic Church in England." Some critics, Malcolm Muggeridge for instance, considered this ironic, absurd, affecting (and autobiographical) portrait of a middle aged man at war his finest achievement. (Kirkus Reviews)

Impact in the Community
Members of the Institute maintain a commitment to working with individuals and organizations in the local community and value the contribution their research can make on local justice issues and the protection of rights. They are members of (and hold various positions with) local and international human rights and justice organizations and regularly speak on such issues at conferences and community meetings. Institute members are regularly commissioned to conduct research for non-governmental and semi-governmental bodies, as well as formal criminal justice agencies. Linkages with the community are also strengthened by the Institute's Board of Advisers, who hale from community organizations, criminal justice agencies, and other academic institutions.
The following are a few examples of past projects that have had a particular influence outside of the academic realm.
Transforming Cultures of Violence "from below:" Victims, Ex-Combatants, Communities
ICCJ members organised a major international conference on the theme of Transforming Cultures of Violence 'from below': Victims, Ex-Combatants, Communities. The conference was organised by PhD student Kirsten McConnachie, ICCJ Director Professor Kieran McEvoy and visiting-professor Harry Mika, as part of an ongoing research project on grassroots peace-building which has involved fieldwork in South Africa, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Indonesia and Colombia.
It became clear during the course of fieldwork that despite the obvious differences in context, local communities in each country were grappling with similar questions, including defining and meeting the needs of victims and survivors of conflict; assessing the potential of truth and justice initiatives; and recognising the role of ex-combatants in rebuilding society after conflict.
A conference in Belfast presented the perfect means to bring overseas community activists together with those working in Northern Ireland to debate issues of mutual concern. From the outset, the conference was designed to incorporate local voices and reflect issues of genuine community interest. In the planning stages, a consultation was sent to more than 200 individuals and organisations inviting suggestions for presentation themes and panel topics.
International participants from Colombia, Sierra Leone and South Africa arrived three days in advance of the conference event to take part in a series of intensive meetings with community groups, including WAVE Trauma Centre, Healing Through Remembering, CRJI, Northern Ireland Alternatives, EPIC, InterComm, Coiste and others.
This process of consultation, meeting and participation paid dividends at the main event, which attracted delegates from all across Ireland, as well as from England, Scotland and even South Africa. International speakers presented papers on themes including "Victims' Needs: Truth, Justice and a View 'from below';" "Insiders and Outsiders in Transitional Contexts;" "Leadership and Transition from Conflict;" and "The Role of NGOs in Political Transition." Respondents from Northern Ireland reflected upon the local context in panels which addressed the topics "Community, Reconciliation and the Needs of Victims: The Northern Ireland Transition" and "Ex-Combatants and Communities: Northern Ireland Responses."
The balance between international experience and local knowledge provided stimulating presentations and enthusiastic discussion, driven by a diverse audience which included members of statutory services, voluntary, charitable and religious organisations, as well as a number of staff and research students from Queen's University Belfast.
Stone-throwing Research and Community Impact
Pete Shirlow is continuing work on the rise and effect of stone throwing attacks upon the essential services – Northern Ireland Ambulance Service; the Northern Ireland Fire Brigade; Translink; West Belfast Taxi Association – in Northern Ireland. This particular form of anti-social behaviour has a negative and long-term effect not only upon staff members of the services but also upon communities. The adverse effects of stone-throwing include:
Physical attacks upon staff and subsequent emotional and health difficulties; Financial loss by service providers due to the cost of repairs, withdrawal of services and the replacement of damaged vehicles and equipment; and the withdrawal of services to communities containing high levels of social exclusion.
Due to the growth in attacks on service providers, the Police Service of Northern Ireland in West Belfast approached a number of groups with regard to formalising a strategy aimed at reducing the incidence of stone throwing attacks. The aim of the work, which is based upon working with the essential service groups, youth groups and restorative justice organizations, is to:
improve the quality of life of the community by reducing attacks on essential services;
work jointly with other groups to ensure the effective delivery of all essential services; and
examine models of prevention, diversion and intervention.
Clare Dwyer has now joined the group to help develop a more focused approach to understanding the motivations behind such violence.
Young People and Social Exclusion
Professor Scraton has continued to work with community-based organisations in West Belfast, specifically focusing on young people and social exclusion and agencies' responses to "antisocial behaviour."
He has participated in local community seminars and conferences with Falls Community Council, the Upper Springfield Safer Neighbourhood Forum, and the Participation in Democracy project. He is also Chair of the Board of Include Youth where he contributes particularly on youth justice and policing.

Carnival Dream Cruise Review by seabird33: Cabin fever
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Carnival Dream Western Caribbean Cruises
Cabin fever
We were booked in cat. 8C balcony cabin #8469...cabin from hell. It turned out to be a corner cabin and was extremely small for the catagory we booked and the price we paid. It had a lot of wasted space. The bathroom door would not open completely as it hit the bed when opened. There was not a chair to sit on. (This cabin did not have a sofa). The configuration was so totally differnet from other cabins , you would have to see it to believe it. Don't ever book this cabin.! I will say the room steward was excellent and much appreciated as was all of the staff on the ship.
We found long lines at the buffet at every breakfast and lunch and finally resorted to eat in the dining room , which was much nicer and good service. I do believe if this ship had emergency problems no one would survive. Would you believe the life boat drill was held in the dining room....yep, table formally set with silverware, table clothes and glasses ready to serve first seating. The children were playing More
with the silverware, condimenets etc. We found this to be uncceptable.We were glad we were on second seating as I sure did not want to eat after that. (You know we are germ conscious these days with the hand washing etc.). When we got on the tenders the staff was ever so careful seeing that we were transported safely from one vessel to the other, as the waves and water quite rough. I did appreciate that so much .Also I believe when we got to Belize, we found there was 5 or 6 LARGE ships with MANY passengers going ashore. What a mad house on shore. Those overhanging pools on the side of the ship were a joke directly under many decks ...no privacy...and who wants to look down watching people in the pools...then the bathers had to go through the ship and elevators to get to the place where people an bath suits belong ...Carnival you shot your selves in the foot with this big dog. I could go on and on but better stop and look for a cruise on a decent ship. We will NEVER go on Carnival again!!! Less

Media rooms are very popular these days as they are great for entertaining friends and/or relatives whether you enjoy playing video games or watching movies, but what should you bear in mind when creating one.
Hiding Wiring
One way of dealing with the matter is to purchase a purpose built media cabinet to house the television and other electrical equipment as well as plenty of storage for other treasured items.
If you are purchasing new speakers then it maybe a good idea to consider a wireless speaker system as this will also help to reduce the number of wires and cables.
Some televisions can be mounted on the wall but great care should be taken to ensure this is done correctly to avoid accidents.
The wires can be hidden in channels within the wall but this is a fairly permanent solution.
Lighting the Media Room
Unless you intend to use your media room for other pastimes there is little need for bright lighting but any lights should be directed away from the screen to avoid glare. You can accomplish this by the use of track lights which allow the lights to be directed away from the television or onto the floor for an even more subtle effect. Side lamps and dimmer switches can also help create the right atmosphere.
Curtains and blinds can also help darken a room on a sunny day should the need arise.
Installing an acoustic fabric wall will not only insulate the media room from extraneous noises but will also help isolate the room from other parts of the house which is advisable when playing boisterous and noisy video games.
If it is not viable to insulate the whole room it may be worth considering just soundproofing the wall that is adjacent to the part of the house most often occupied.
Audio equipment is continually evolving but a surround sound system creates a realistic theatre experience.
The height and position of the screen should also be considered at the point of installation.
The image on some screens deteriorates badly when viewed at an angle so this is another thing to bear in mind when installing any seating.
Each manufacturer will state the optimum viewing distance from their particular screen so check the operator's manual prior to installation.
The number of seats will depend on the number of people regularly using the room at any time. Occasional and/or temporary seating such as floor cushions or bean bags, can be included to cater for the times when extra numbers are required..
