These activities include joint venture plant operations, project development, technology, licensing and research.
In making the appointment, Texaco Vice Chairman Peter I. Bijur said, "Texaco's power generation and gasification activities are significant assets of the company's energy portfolio. Jim has extensive experience in developing projects and marketing technology. He will lead an experienced team to build on the company's success in finding new markets to support Texaco's plan for growth."

He was graduated from Trinity University in 1970 with a B.S. in engineering and earned an M.B.A. from the University of Houston in 1972.

Houck was named Texaco's Division Planning Manager in the Los Angeles Producing Division in 1985, and in 1987 was made Assistant General Manager, Texaco USA Producing Department in Houston. In 1989, he was made Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for Texaco Cogeneration and Power Company in Los Angeles. He was appointed to his current position in 1994.

Lotte.com boosts retail sales, satisfaction with SAS® for Customer Experience Analysis
Understanding why customers abandon shopping carts results in $10 million sales increase for distributor
Lotte.com, the leading Internet shopping mall in Korea with 13 million customers, has developed an integrated Web traffic analysis system using SAS for Customer Experience Analytics. As a result, Lotte.com has been able to improve the online experience for its customers, as well as generate better returns from its marketing campaigns. Now, Lotte.com executives can confirm results anywhere, anytime, as well as make immediate changes.
With almost 1 million website visitors each day, Lotte.com needed to know how many visitors were making purchases and which channels were bringing the most valuable traffic. After reviewing many diverse solutions and approaches, Lotte.com introduced its integrated Web traffic analysis system using the SAS for Customer Experience Analytics solution. This is the first online behavioral analysis system applied in Korea.
With this system, Lotte.com can accurately measure and analyze website visitor numbers (UV), page view (PV) status of site visitors and purchasers, the popularity of each product category and product, clicking preferences for each page, the effectiveness of campaigns and much more. This information enables Lotte.com to better understand customers and their behavior online, and conduct sophisticated, cost-effective targeted marketing.
Commenting on the system, Assistant General Manager Jung Hyo-hoon of the Marketing Planning Team for Lotte.com said, "As a result of introducing the SAS system and of analysis, many 'new truths' were uncovered around customer behavior, and some of them were 'inconvenient truths.'" He added, "Some site-planning activities that had been undertaken with the expectation of certain results actually had a low reaction from customers, and the site planners had a difficult time recognizing these results."
Since implementing SAS for Customer Experience Analytics, Lotte.com has seen many benefits:
A jump in customer loyalty
Optimized marketing efficiency analysis
Enhanced customer satisfaction and customer experience lead to higher sales
By analyzing which stage of the ordering process deters the most customers and fixing those stages, conversion rates can be increased. Previously, analysis was done only on placed orders. By analyzing the movement pattern of visitors before ordering and at the point where breakaway occurs, customer behavior can be forecast and sophisticated marketing activities can be undertaken. Through a pattern analysis of visitors, purchases can be more effectively influenced and customer demand can be reflected in real time to ensure quicker responses. Customer satisfaction has also improved as Lotte.com has better insight into each customer's behaviors, needs and interests.
Evaluating the system, Jung commented, "By finding out how each customer group moves on the basis of the data, it is possible to determine customer service improvements and target marketing subjects, and this has aided the success of a number of campaigns."
However, the most significant benefit of the system is gaining insight into individual customers and various customer groups. By understanding when customers will make purchases and the manner in which they navigate throughout the Web page, targeted channel marketing and better customer experience can now be achieved.
Plus, when SAS for Customer Experience Analytics was implemented by Lotte.com's largest overseas distributor, it resulted in a first-year sales increase of 8 million euros (US$10 million) by identifying the causes of shopping-cart abandonment.

A shouting match between two Wellington board of education members erupted Tuesday over the prospect of forming a legal issues committee.
Board president Joe Calfo began yelling when fellow member Ayers Ratliff complained he is being "quarantined" from existing legal problems.
The district is facing a lawsuit filed by former curriculum director Christopher Kamenski in U.S. District Court.
The disgruntled former employee claims he was harassed by superintendent John Nolan and his requests for board intervention were ignored.
Ratliff has been outspoken supporter of Kamenski since the curriculum director resigned last June. Now he said he is being ostracized by the rest of the board.
An email from Calfo to elected officials said Ratliff should be quarantined from any discussions involving that case.
"Obviously, the defense of this matter cannot be discussed in front of board member Ayers Ratliff, who supports Kamenski," Ratliff read from the email at Tuesday's meeting.
Calfo said Ratliff puts the district's defense at risk because he's been in constant communication with the plaintiff.
"That is a violation of attorney-client privilege," Calfo told the Enterprise. "He'll argue that it's not but I'll argue that is."
When Ratliff denied the claims, he got a quick response from the board president.
"You're a liar," Calfo yelled.
Calfo said Ratliff admitted in arbitration that he was helping Kamenski build his case.
Fellow board member Jacquie Dovin said Ratliff has repeatedly shared items with the public that were discussed in executive session.
The Open Meetings Act does not bar an official from sharing details of an executive session with the public, according to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and the 2014 Ohio Sunshine Law Manual.
However, other sections of state law say that when a clearly confidential matter is discussed — which almost certainly includes attorney-client privilege — that information is protected.
Ratliff said he refused to be excluded from the issue.
"I don't care what you say," he said. "You guys treated Chris Kamenski like dirt, like crap."
Another claim in Kamenski's suit is that someone from the Wellington board wrote a disparaging letter to his new employers at the Mason School District.
Ratliff said he believes Calfo is behind the letter. Calfo said that is a "bold-faced lie."
The board voted to place Calfo and fellow member Lois Wulfhoop on the legal committee.
Placing Calfo in that spot is a bad idea and a possible conflict of interest, Ratliff said, because Kamenski's suit includes the board president.
The legal committee will serve the board like any other, such as the building and grounds and curriculum committees, Calfo said.
Wulfhoop and Calfo will meet with Nolan and the district's attorneys on a monthly basis to discuss the Kamenski case and any other legal issues the district may face.

'Doctor Who' Season 8, episode 2 clips: Clara meets Danny PinkAdd to Favorites | Doctor Who
The next episode of "Doctor Who" is close, but in case the wait is just too much the BBC has released clips from the episode to give you an idea of what to expect.
In the first, Clara meets Danny Pink, a new teacher at her school. As the actor playing Danny told Zap2it, he'll be a love interest for Clara, the "perfect boyfriend." The other two clips, which can be seen below, feature the Doctor and Clara in space when they run into a sick Dalek that has shed it's evil ways.
A Dalek that doesn't want to exterminate the Doctor? That's just a little too crazy to believe. The next episode of "Doctor Who," "Into the Dalek," airs Saturday, Aug. 20, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on BBC America.

Emma Bridgewater
Emma Bridgewater is a British ceramics manufacturer founded in 1985, owned and run by Emma Rice née Bridgewater and Matthew Rice.[1] Noted for their polka dot design among others, Emma Bridgewater specialises in pottery with motifs drawing on techniques stretching back over 200 years. The company is one of the largest pottery manufacturers based entirely in the UK, with all of its products made in its factory in the city of Stoke-on-Trent, England,[2] where it is one of the largest employers.[3]
Emma Bridgewater has three shops in London, and one in Edinburgh, as well as an outlet located at the company's factory in Stoke-on-Trent.
The company was founded by Emma Bridgewater in 1985, when she was looking for a birthday present for her mother. Wanting to buy a cup and saucer but being unable to find any she liked, Emma created her own. Drawing four shapes, a mug, a bowl, a jug and a dish, samples were created in Stoke-on-Trent.[4] Matthew, Emma's husband, also designs for Emma Bridgewater. He indulges his passion for birdlife in the Birds range.[citation needed] In its first year the company had a turnover of around £30,000. By 2009 this had increased to almost £8 million,[4] and £11 million in 2010, employing 180 people.[5]
Emma Bridgewater's cream earthenware pottery designs are also adapted for application onto textiles, glass, tin, stationery, and melamine.[citation needed] Her designs include patterns such as Black Toast, Polka Dot, Union Jack, Starry Skies, Pink Hearts and Figs. During the visit of Prince Andrew, Emma discussed the brand's launch of its biggest ever collection of Royal commemorative ware to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012.[6]

Raices Cubanas
Gordo · 6 × 60 ABRCG
Crafted by Alec Bradley, a company that is no slouch in terms of high scores from cigar publications, the Raices Cubanas Gordo is a hefty high-quality handmade cigar created in classic Cuban tradition.

Once lit, the very well-constructed Raices Cubanas Gordo provides a noticeable but not overly spicy pepper flavor complemented by a subtle hint of honey that nicely tempers its medium-to-full-bodied strength profile up until its smooth finish. Packed in boxes of 20 cigars, the Raices Cubanas Gordo is a solid selection for premium-cigar smokers shopping online for a super-sized, sweet-and-savory handmade smoke.

Good flavor from a pretty good smoke.

Well constructed even smoke. Lots of flavor; medium volume of smoke with negligible after taste. Good draw and consistency throughout the smoke with a pleasing smoker's aroma. This stick delivers as advertised and will not disappoint.

earthy cigar
on 04/18/15
Cigar is certainly made well, end cut- perfection, entire smoke kept a razor edge completely. But I think for me that's about as good as it gets. The flavors were of earthy and woodsy thru the entire smoke. Not really much more but a very-very light hint of coca.

M1: The Crab Nebula from Hubble
October 25, 2009
This is the mess that is left when a star explodes. The Crab Nebula, the result of a supernova seen in 1054 AD, is filled with mysterious filaments. The filaments are not only tremendously complex, but appear to have less mass than expelled in the original supernova and a higher speed than expected from a free explosion. The above image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, is presented in three colors chosen for scientific interest. The Crab Nebula spans about 10 light-years. In the nebula's very center lies a pulsar: a neutron star as massive as the Sun but with only the size of a small town. The Crab Pulsar rotates about 30 times each second.

Even the Juno Effect Can't Help
By NICK HASTED
Pop KIMYA DAWSON Union Chapel LONDON **
"I feel like I don't have the charisma," Kimya Dawson plaintively mumbles. "I can't play my guitar and look at you at the same time." It must be a relief that her songs have reached No 1 almost anonymously, on the soundtrack to the film Juno, put there by its teenage star Ellen Page. The 35-year-old Dawson already had a decade's work behind her on New York's anti-folk scene, largely as one half of The Moldy Peaches with Adam Green. But nerves that make her murmur and apologise before songs still have her hunching defensively over her guitar.
Anti-folk's inclination to child-like inconsequentiality is given free rein as Dawson starts with eight songs from her new children's album, Alphabutt, written for her own baby daughter, busily taking her clothes off in sight of her at the front here tonight. "The poop and pee songs – what's wrong with me?" she wonders aloud. And while it is fine for a songwriter with a young child to write for the kindergarten, you have to wonder why her adult audience are whooping and giggling. If Paul McCartney were to try the same trick, these same indie hipsters would form a hunting party.
Her scene's seemingly bottomless indulgence and willed innocence is a retreat from crass commercial instincts in the wider world, where every value can seem for sale. But as the crowd happily suggest animal noises, and Dawson's lyrics switch between childhood and old age, twee regression sets in.
The scene's ethics are partly dissected on a later song, "Singing Machine". "Doesn't matter what you look like, doesn't matter what you sound like, doesn't matter if they like you," she advises would- be musicians. "Just remember to be kind." This combines UK punk's participatory ethic with US enthusiasm, like a lo-fi American Idol. Self-criticism, you suspect, is her mind's default position. But, having summoned the bravery to get on stage at all, applying it to music seems too painful. Limpness results.
"Loose Lips", a vibrant song against authority, shows Dawson's capacity. "We won't stop until somebody calls the cops. And even then…" she declares, as she combines anti-Bush rhetoric with loving support for a self-harmer, and undefined nostalgia for "how it used to be". The child night-panics and fear of being entombed in "Underground" dig deeper into her. Her first song "Eleventeen", written when she was "kind of a mess" from drugs and depression, then sees her head bow low as if singing to her old self, lost back in that place. You can't say she's insincere.
When two teenage girls apologetically leave early, one hanging fiercely to the hand of the other, Dawson politely says goodbye. "Nice meeting you – you have school tomorrow?" she enquires. Pop is built from such intimate connections, and she is concerned with community. Perhaps these were new fans as attached to Page's witheringly sarcastic, super-hip fellow teenager from the film as to Dawson. But the latter's songs helped build the soft, warm-hearted character that the script at first conceals. Her simple, looping chords and slightly shaky, girlish voice are the template for even incidental music, and inform Juno's whole texture. There is, though, a steady drift from the Union Chapel's pews before the hour-long set's end. And not everyone has school.
The Juno effect won't phase someone who can observe: "If you hear anyone say, 'You are huge', look at the moon." But the sudden whirl of creative ambition in "The Beer", a fantastic tale of violent suicide and subsequent zombie visits to the mall, frustrates in its rarity. One of a brace of moving new, adult songs about her baby daughter casually admits her songwriting will probably deteriorate because of her. "All I can do next is be a good mother," she states, knowing there are more important things than music. Except that, when you're performing, there really shouldn't be.

This itme took 10 days to arrive because it was back ordered after I placed the order. The mocassins appear to be fine in all areas except the color for me appears to be a deep red color but in reality it was a brick red as in some orange in it...so I am exchanging them for a different color. Hope the pink works...do not care to wear anything orange.

drugs other than marijuana,7,129 and it is not unexpected that genetic factors play a role in the marijuana experience, including the likelihood of abuse. A study of over 8,000 male twins listed in the Vietnam Era Twin Registry indicated that genes have a statistically significant influence on whether a person finds the effects of marijuana pleasant.97 Not surprisingly, people who found marijuana to be pleasurable used it more often than those who found it unpleasant. The study suggested that, although social influences play an important role in the initiation of use, individual differencesperhaps associated with the brain's reward systeminfluence whether a person will continue using marijuana. Similar results were found in a study of female twins.86 Family and social environment strongly influenced the likelihood of ever using marijuana but had little effect on the likelihood of heavy use or abuse. The latter were more influenced by genetic factors. Those results are consistent with the finding that the degree to which rats find THC rewarding is genetically based.92
In summary, although few marijuana users develop dependence, some do. But they appear to be less likely to do so than users of other drugs (including alcohol and nicotine), and marijuana dependence appears to be less severe than dependence on other drugs. Drug dependence is more prevalent in some sectors of the population than others, but no group has been identified as particularly vulnerable to the drug-specific effects of marijuana. Adolescents, especially troubled ones, and people with psychiatric disorders (including substance abuse) appear to be more likely than the general population to become dependent on marijuana.
If marijuana or cannabinoid drugs were approved for therapeutic uses, it would be important to consider the possibility of dependence, particularly for patients at high risk for substance dependence. Some controlled substances that are approved medications produce dependence after long-term use; this, however, is a normal part of patient management and does not generally present undue risk to the patient.
The fear that marijuana use might cause, as opposed to merely precede, the use of drugs that are more harmful is of great concern. To judge from comments submitted to the IOM study team, it appears to be of greater concern than the harms directly related to marijuana itself. The discussion that marijuana is a "gateway" drug implicitly recognizes that other illicit drugs might inflict greater damage to health or social relations than marijuana. Although the scientific literature generally discusses drug use progression between a variety of drug classes, including alcohol and tobacco, the public discussion has focused on marijuana as a "gateway"

Lions draft Ndamukong Suh at No. 2 in NFL draft
A lot of poor picks in the draft, usually ignoring defense until later rounds, went a long way toward the Lions making unwanted history.
Only one of Detroit's previous 12 first-round picks played defense and that player just got dealt: The Lions drafted linebacker Ernie Sims with the ninth pick in the 2006 draft and traded him earlier this week for Scheffler in a three-team trade.
A vast majority of Detroit's first-round picks have been busts or simply average, and so have most of the defensive tackles taken with the No. 1 or 2 pick overall in the draft.
Russell played in just five seasons and played in two Pro Bowls, an accomplishment Tony Casillas, Steve Niehaus and Mike McCoy can't claim after being drafted second overall. Merlin Olsen, drafted No. 2 in 1962, was arguably the last defensive tackle to have a stellar career.
Defensive tackles drafted first overall haven't panned out, either, since Buck Buchanan was picked in 1963 and had a strong career after. Dan Wilkinson, Steve Emtman, Russell Maryland, Kenneth Sims and Walt Patulski all struggled to earn stardom as No. 1 overall picks, playing in a combined total of one Pro Bowl.
Mayhew doesn't sound concerned about the history of defensive tackles taken in the top two.
"It's not my concern at all," Mayhew said. "You have to believe what you see on film."
The Lions watched a lot of it, evaluating whether to draft Suh, Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCoy or perhaps defensive back Eric Berry or an offensive tackle. The Lions staff took advantage of coaching at the Senior Bowl and of every opportunity to find out more about the prospects as players and people.
They settled on Suh.
"It was a long process and we kept an open mind," Schwartz said. "Every step along the way, he was the best player on our draft board."
Suh was the players fans wanted to, especially the few thousand cheering from Ford Field when the pick was made.
"I plan on not disappointing them at all," Suh said.

County Council will discuss a few possible additions to the county's 2010-11 budget at its Tuesday meeting.
As council prepares for final reading of the budget, County Administrator Steve Willis said several council members have asked to review two additions to the county's magistrate court system.
The board of the United Way of Lancaster County set its sights high for its fundraising goal for the 2009-10 campaign.
The campaign raised $344,484, falling short of the $425,000 goal.
But board chairman Steve Sherill said he's still pleased with the results, especially since the organization lost an executive director during a tough economy.
Lightning may have been the cause of an early Saturday morning house fire in the Buford community.
Firefighters received a call from a passerby just before 4 a.m. that a two-story home in the 4700 block of Stacks Road was on fire.
Capt. Billy Lloyd of the Tradesville Volunteer Fire Department said the blaze started in the garage, spread to the attic and mostly damaged the second floor.
Nobody was inside the home when the fire started, as the residents were on vacation, Lloyd said.
CHESTER – The 6,200-acre tract of land that was to have been the site of Montrose in Chester County is now for sale.
In October 2006, developer Melvin Graham, a nephew of evangelist the Rev. Billy Graham, announced his intention to build Montrose, which he hoped would eventually include thousands of homes (some in gated communities) and townhouses, shopping malls, golf courses, schools, churches and other amenities.
State Sen. Mick Mulvaney, a businessman from Indian Land, challenged U.S. Rep. John Spratt on Thursday to take a position on middle-class tax hikes and the federal budget. And on Friday, Spratt, a Democrat from York, released a statement on tax cuts and the budget.
Mulvaney, R-District 16, is challenging Spratt for the 5th District congressional seat, which Spratt has won in every election since 1982.
Hal Crenshaw said he is satisfied with the compromise reached regarding the city of Lancaster's Streetscape beautification project and his business, Crenco Food Store on South Main Street.
In April, Crenshaw expressed concern about the Streetscape plans, which called for greenery, lighting and curbing to be installed along the South Main Street side of his business, located at the Brooklyn Avenue intersection.
He said the planned curbing would greatly hurt his business, as motorists would have less space to access gas pumps from Main Street.
INDIAN LAND – With specks of white paint splattered on her hands and clothes, Angie Weeks takes a step back to admire the newly plastered walls and ceilings she and her fellow campers have installed.
Weeks, a member of Grover United Methodist Church in Grover, has only been in Indian Land for about three days, but she's already learned how to paint a room, repair holes in a wall and dig a trench for water pipes. And judging by the smile on her face, it's been a good week.
CATAWBA – Barbara "Cookie" Reeves Helms, 57, died Friday, June 26, 2010.
Born in Rock Hill, she was the daughter of Shirley Haire Reeves and the late J. P. Reeves. She was married to Vick C. Helms Jr.
Survivors include her mother of Rock Hill; her husband; and her brothers, J. P. "Buddy" Reeves Jr. and Charles Reeves, both of Rock Hill.
City of Lancaster employees will get a pay increase while the city's residents will not see a spike in their taxes.
Lancaster City Council passed final reading of its 2010-11 budget Tuesday. The $22.39 million budget includes a 2 percent across-the-board raise for employees.
The vote was 6-0. Councilman John Howard was not at the meeting.
Last week, the city's finance committee, chaired by Howard, recommended that council approve a tax increase of 2.8 mills to help offset the already-proposed salary increases.
To all the Lancaster residents lamenting about the frigid temperatures back in January – be careful what you wish for.
Many folks asked for summer to return during those chilly days, and now summer is back with a vengeance.
It has been in the 90s in Lancaster County since June 9, according to the S.C. Climatology Office. By definition, the state is experiencing a heat wave, with temperatures reaching 98 degrees or more for more than two days, said Wes Tyler of the climatology office.

Have you ever stood on the river coast, watching unbelievable quantities of water flowing near you every second, each minute, in hours, days, months and years? Can you imagine how much power we would need to stop this water movements or how much energy we would need to move such water quantity by machine power?
It seems to be that huge amounts of energy which causes slowly movements of water masses we could not use – at least not with high efficiency. But, it is a case only if we are using classic and known water turbines which were designed only for high water speeds. Similar effects are to be reached also when using windmill propellers with high efficiency in the air and very poor efficiency when operating deep in to the water stream. After visiting more pages referring TIDAL projects like VERDANT, all VOITH – Siemens and ALSTOM designs etc., you can easily find out that all of them are carrying the same disadvantages which are causing 12 to 20 times larger investment and operational costs, than it is acceptable and instead of 35 € to 40 € per MWh, are resulting with prices which varies between 500 € to 800 € per MWh of received power.
This is forcing us to build the dams and artificial lakes what is in the most of cases nearly impossible, very expensive and ecologically always very delicate. So, the only solution was to design completely new type of power turbines, able to extract energy from slow moving water streams. After many years of experiments and development the SP turbines (Stagnation pressure turbines) were designed. On this project I have been working nearly 20 years (http://www.izumi.si). Up to last year I used to develop only smaller units (SP 1) with Power up to 80 kW, but now days I am working with new designs (SP 2) for which I applied a new Patent and which are 10 times more powerful.
SP 2 units are incomparably cheaper, technically extremely simple and designed to operate in river or see streams and their life time can be longer than 50 years. The units are placed on the bottom of the river or Sea, they are only 3 m high (instead of 15 to 30 m by known TIDAL units), but their horizontal diameter is very large because SP2 are propelled on radial way and not like other TIDAL turbines which are axially propelled. Therefore, I made a calculations and planes for two types of SP 2 units - 22 and 32 meters of diameter – very convenient to be used in larger rivers or as TIDAL units:
SP 22 with 300 kW of Power, costs of 1,5 Million € and price for each MWh of 45 €
SP 32 with 500 kW of Power, costs of 1,9 Million € and price for each MWh of 40 €
All works without dams, not visible from the coast and ecologically practically ideal.
Interesting possibility: Germany made decision to stop operating with Nuclear Power plants. Regarding the fact that all Nuclear plants are located near by larger rivers (because of cooling needs), on river bottom we can install couple of hundreds of SP2 units and after changing of main turbines in Power plant, using a "ladle hand" system of SP2, we can propel the same generators and use all existing infrastructure to produce the same electric power – but without any dangerous nuclear fuel! With described solution, in the next decade, Germany can save more billions Euros of capital and remain with existing 13 GW of (today) Nuclear Power, but – only with clean and renewable energy.
Point is that in Slovenia we are able to have a highest quality production of SP1 and SP2 units. But, regarding terrible Bank and economic crises since more years we were not in position to get any kind of Bank or Venture capital sources for production for thousands of interested customers.

The Wista 45SP is a 4x5 folding metal field camera with a revolving Graflok spring back, folding focusing hood and bright fresnel focusing screen.
Wista's collection of sophisticated metal field cameras (the VX, SP & RF) are designed for photographers who want much more than just a simple field camera. Gargantuan values in specifications such as the maximum tilt or swing degree are of rather limited in use in the field, for in these regards nearly all cameras provide capacities exceeding both lens coverage and practical need. But in specifications of rather large importance-front rise/lateral shift, shortest/longest usable focal lengths and the combination of the largest permissible rear lens barrel diameter compared with the accompanying lensboard size-the metal Wistas succeed admirably.
A whopping 56mm of front rise & 40mm of lateral shift is about the best one could hope for from a true field camera, and the Wista SP does so without an enormous lensboard which would consume considerable packing space. Wooden cameras are lighter, of course, but provide inferior rigidity when used with longer lenses. If you enjoy a 240mm or 300mm for use in landscape work, the weight is well spent. Upon the wide angle end of things, you're allowed a maximum rear lens barrel diameter of 80mm.
The 45SP has the same features as the 45VX, plus microfocus back swing-which is useful in closeup photography as well as when using a wideangle lens to make quick changes in depth of field with exceptional control. Designed to simplify handling and use of the camera, the variable swing and tilt movements (both front and back) can be set quite easily. The compact size and tolerable weight of these cameras make them as easy to use in the field as in the studio.
The 45SP accepts 4x5 holders, as well as a 5x7" back adapter and extension tracks and an extra-long bellows for telephoto work, using lenses up to 500mm. But the real star of the metal Wista's system is the dedicated combination of the #214544 lensboard with the #224541 wide angle bellows. Well suited to lenses from 90mm and shorter, it achieves two aims brilliantly-it gets the front standard out from within the body cavity of the camera when composing, and separates the bag bellows from rise & tilt controls. The lensboard is mounted onto the rear of the front standard, and the bag bellows is screwed into the rear of the lensboard-providing clearance and a whoppping 40mm recession.
- Compact, diecast aluminum alloy folding 4x5 technical field camera
- Fully revolving back with 90° click stops, fresnel focusing screen & folding focus hood
- Interchangeable bellows/extension tracks
- Opens and closes with one simple touch
- Micro-fine precision rear swing movement
- Superior rigidity with longer lenses than wooden cameras

US Senate confirms Kerry as next secretary of state
Published on Jan 30, 2013 6:14 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US Senate on Tuesday confirmed Senator John Kerry as the next secretary of state, approving President Barack Obama's pick to replace Hillary Clinton by a wide majority.
The Senate voted 94-3 in favour of Kerry, after the chamber's Foreign Relations Committee approved the nomination earlier in the day.
His nomination was pushed through the Senate in a matter of days, given the clear bipartisan support for the 69-year-old veteran Democratic lawmaker, who spent 28 years in the Senate.
Mr Kerry - a senator from Massachusetts best known outside the United States for his unsuccessful 2004 presidential campaign - was nominated last month by Mr Obama to take over from Mrs Clinton as the nation's top diplomat.

How Behind the Ear Molds Are Made
Note: None of our hearing aids require a mold. This article is a public service to our customers who want to know what is involved with having an ear mold made. The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser first inspect your ear canal to make sure there is no excess ear wax in the canal and that the ear drum is healthy. They will then mix a quick drying silicon material and inject the liquid into the ear canal. The silicon material is very slippery to the touch and it will plug up the ear completely.
After a few minutes, the hardened silicon, the consistency of soft rubber, is gently removed from the ear. Because of the slipperiness of the material, the hairs in the ear will not be pulled when the mold is removes. A few "wiggles" usually breaks the mold free and it can be removed. The impression is sent to a lab, which creates a negative of the impression. The lab then use that negative to create the actual mold. The ear mold material is harder than the original impression, but still slightly soft so that it will not irritate the ear canal.
Sample Ear mold for the right ear – Each person's custom ear mold will be uniquely made to the shape of their own ear canal. While at the lab, or when the mold is returned, there will be two holes drilled through it: the hole that the hearing aid will fit into that is drilled through the center of the mold from front to back, and a smaller diameter vent hole that is also drilled front to back, but lower. The vent hole helps equalize air pressure between the hearing aid itself and the ear drum, and also allows a small amount of air to circulate to vent moisture.
If the mold is for a BTE hearing aid, the output side of the hearing aid tube (the side facing the ear drum) is inserted into the middle hole of the mold using a short piece of flexible tubing. The tubing is pushed through the length of the middle hole and. It stays there and acts both as a guide and a support to keep the hole open. Ear molds can come in a variety of colors, although most hearing aid wearers do not wear decorative ear molds. Some designs are meant to make the ear molds blend in with the skin color while others are flashy and decorative.

STV Celebrates 25th Birthday of Taggart
By MARTIN WILLIAMS
IT IS the world's longestrunning police drama and synonymous with the grit and dark humour of Glasgow.
This year 's Taggart celebrates its 25th anniversary, and STV is to mark the birthday with a series of events to celebrate the Scottish cop show that has featured nearly all of Scotland's best actors, and launched plenty of careers.
A documentary, There's Been Another Murder: 25 Years of Taggart, will air on September 29. Narrated by STV's Stephen Jardine, it will feature Mark McManus's first appearance in 1983 to today's international success story.
The five thirty show on STV will also celebrate with a week- long series of features, starting from September 22, including exclusive footage from the set to give viewers a glimpse behind the scenes.
Throughout the week, presenters Stephen Jardine, Rachel McTavish and the rest of the five thirty team will speak to the cast about their favourite Taggart moments.
In October, the show's cast – Blythe Duff, Alex Norton, John Michie and Colin McCredie – will swap Glasgow's streets for the glamour of Cannes as they attend the prestigious international television event, Mipcon.
The cast will promote the long-running show, which is broadcast in more than 80 countries across the world, with a photo call against the stunning Riviera backdrop followed by a dinner party for international buyers.
Blythe Duff, who plays Taggart's DS Jackie Reid, said: " I'm very honoured to be part of what's become a real institution over the years."

The Associated Press today offers "a more sober picture" than it and other news organizations (including NPR) did earlier this month regarding reports of nearly 800 bodies of infants and young children at a former Catholic home for unwed mothers in Ireland.
The case of the "mother and baby home," located in the town of Tuam near Galway city, "offers a study in how exaggeration can multiply in the news media, embellishing occurrences that should have been gripping enough on their own," the AP writes.
The reports were based on research by Catherine Corless, who spent years seeking records of the deaths of children at the orphanage during the years it was open, from 1925 to 1961.
Specifically, the AP points to an investigation by The Irish Times in Dublin that revealed discrepancies in maps used by Corless to determine where the bodies might have ended up. It also said reports that many of the children had never been baptized were rebutted by records. Other evidence called into question whether the decommissioned septic tank could have been used as a burial site, the AP said.
The newspaper also questioned implications that many of the children died of malnutrition. The AP says: "The most common causes were flu, measles, pneumonia, tuberculosis and whooping cough. Contrary to the allegations of widespread starvation highlighted in some reports, only 18 children were recorded as suffering from severe malnutrition."
The AP reports:
"When Corless published her findings on a Facebook campaign page, and Irish media noticed, she speculated to reporters that the resting place of most, if not all, could be inside a disused septic tank on the site. By the time Irish and British tabloids went to print in early June, that speculation had become a certainty, the word 'disused' had disappeared, and U.S. newspapers picked up the report, inserting more errors, including one that claimed the researcher had found all 796 remains in a septic tank."
"The Associated Press was among the media organizations that covered Corless and her findings, repeating incorrect Irish news reports that suggested the babies who died had never been baptized and that Catholic Church teaching guided priests not to baptize the babies of unwed mothers or give to them Christian burials."
"The reports of denial of baptism later were contradicted by the Tuam Archdiocese, which found a registry showing that the home had baptized more than 2,000 babies. The AP issued a corrective story on Friday after discovering its errors."

Comments [3]
This sick stooge calls the laundries "malarkey" and then he wants credibility over the baby homes, dismissing it a mass hysteria; well now, perhaps we should capitalize that "Mass"... http://www.irishcentral.com/opinion/cahirodoherty/President-of-Catholic-League-calls-Tuam-report-a-hoax-and-mass-hysteria.html
CBS covered the Magdalene laundry-prisons in 1999, 2 years after their closure - of the last one in the GULAG SYSTEM. The "Philomena" story is about the mother & baby "homes" where the stigma was so strong that harsh treatment was "penance" for them to endure, and medical attention was not only denied, 2,000 kids were exposed to drug tests without consent. Babies rash went septic, that's the important part, not the tank, TB, measles from crowding.
What about the Irish Central? They've covered this, with the valid projection of each county in Ireland having the same conditions, meaning potential deaths in the THOUSANDS! This baptism dispute is nonsense, a red herring to dispute the claims of HOW they were buried - THE KIDS DIED UNDER BRUTAL CONDITIONS. The DEATH CERTIFICATES were also absent in many cases which is what prompted the MISSING PERSONS exhumation. Classic ecclesiastical equivocation and obfuscation to spin BS, and it's shameful that any responsible news outlet is buying this as anything other than that. I'm of Irish descent and a lapsed R.C. so screw the claims of "bashing" this is Ireland's holocaust of its own young (& the women of the Magdalene, WITH GOVERNMENT COLLUSION) and to say anything less is to be as hideous in its denial.
