Shaun White edges rival for X Games skate title
LOS ANGELES Given one last chance to win at the X Games, Shaun White showed he still knows how to seize a spotlight - and a gold medal, too.
White won the X Games skateboard vert competition Saturday night, dramatically edging rival Pierre-Luc Gagnon on their final run.
After crashing on his penultimate run, White scored a 93.00 with a dizzying sequence of tough tricks on his last chance against Gagnon, the three-time defending X Games champion. Gagnon crashed moments later, and White celebrated his first X Games title in vert since 2007, and just his second victory in eight tries.
"I put down probably the best run I've ever done in my skateboarding career," said White, the two-time Olympic snowboarding gold medalist. "I figured if Pierre beat it, he deserved it for sure."
Four-time gold medalist Bucky Lasek finished third with an 87.66. New York City's Elliot Sloan (67.66) and high-flying Adam Taylor (62.66) also made the final, but couldn't compete with the three dominant skaters in their sport's highest-profile competition.
White has a thriving two-sport career and international celebrity that transcends both disciplines, but he hadn't won the X Games' marquee skateboarding event in four years. He lost to Gagnon at last year's X Games, and didn't compete the previous year while focusing on his Olympic quest.
After both stars comfortably reached the final out of the 10-man first round, White made a flawless first run, but still fell behind after Gagnon posted a 91.66 on an impressive fourth run. White fell on his face on his next-to-last run, getting up holding his ribs and figuring his chances were gone.
But Gagnon, a Canadian who lives near White in Carlsbad, Calif., likely missed a chance to end the competition during his own penultimate run. Instead, his crash left a little time on the clock in the 12-minute jam session, allowing every skater to make another run.
"Bob (Burnquist) told me I could have just run out the time and the contest would have ended," Gagnon said. "(White's) run was amazing. I'm not taking anything away from him. He deserved it."
White was grateful Gagnon didn't know he could have run out the clock.
"That's like taking a knee in football, though," White said to Gagnon with a grin after the competition. "That's like me winning without you there. It doesn't really count. ... Standing up there at the top, I remembered something my brother told me: `Man, you've got to stop thinking and just do what you used to do. Just do your thing.'"
With a reprieve, White landed an impressive combination of tricks for the winning score, bringing the Los Angeles crowd to its feet with a 720-degree spins and two body varial frontside 540s which included his signature flair with grabs.
White pumped his sleeveless arms and incited the roaring crowd after his run. When Gagnon fell on his first attempt at a trick off the halfpipe, White pumped his fist and hugged several friends, employees and strangers.

Need some quick Zinc/corrosion help and suggestions
I know there is a wealth of information about electrolysis and zincs and bonding and I have been trying to read some of it but I am sort of pressed for time....
My 84' Morgan 323 is new to me and as I bought it last Spring. I am storing it in the water at my local dock. Today when I went to check on it I took a close look at the shaft and stuffing box. I can't remember exactly what they looked like during the summer as the boat is still so new to me but today it looked very green and pretty corroded and I am almost positive it didn't look that way when I kept it on my mooring during the spring summer and fall. I changed the shaft zinc in the end of August so it has been about 6 months.
One major difference of how I keep the boat is that in the offseason it is in a slip, connected to shore power with a temp regulated heater in the cabin connected to the boats electrical system. Anyway I am going down to the boat again tomorrow with someone who knows a lot about boats and maintenance and I think I will also be able to see the condition of the shaft zinc since it will be calm winds tomorrow. (today was pretty windy and the water was turbulent so I could not see the condition of the zinc as it was very blurry)
So my question is lets say the water is clear and I can see the shaft zinc tomorrow and if it is very eaten away what are my options? The marina it is at now has no lift, the boat is shrink wrapped and there is no way I am de-winterizing it and sailing it somewhere else anytime before mid April. Short of paying a fiver with a dry suit, is there anyway I could hang a zinc around the shaft with metal wire? Place a zinc somewhere else inside the boat that is accessible? I honestly think the issue is related to the Shore Power since I never saw this the season out on my mooring and I don't want it to ruin my boat because of stray current. Any suggestions or help would appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Morgan 323

For coach Jim Harbaugh, it's a case of so far, so good.
From the moment Harbaugh stepped foot on the Farm, he's had a positive
impact on a program that was pining for a new direction. From beating
USC and Cal in 2007 to improving the talent level on Signing Day, the
charismatic coach has methodically built momentum, but it's going to
take a while before Stanford can become a consistent player in the Pac
10 race.
The Cardinal is still lagging way behind the conference elite in many
key areas, but the gap is quickly being narrowed. This isn't going to be
the pushover team it has been in previous seasons, but to get in the
hunt for a winning season and a bowl appearance, the offense, Harbaugh's
forte, has to be more effective.
In a high octane conference like the Pac 10, averaging 322.5 yards and
fewer than 20 points per game isn't going to get it done. Over the final
five games, the Cardinal attack put up a total of 66 points, but even
with the consistency problems, a few bigger breaks would've meant a
breakthrough season.
Stanford may be far from storming the Pac-10 gates, but the positive
buzz surrounding the program is undeniable. And as the offense attempts
to take another step forward, an underrated defense led by future pros
Pannel Egboh, Clinton Snyder, Pat Maynor, and Bo McNally will keep the
Cardinal in a lot of games.
With a little luck and a few more red zone conversions, the school will
be poised to add a win or two to last year's 4-8 record, making a
challenge for bowl eligibility late in the season. At the very least,
the team has to be taken seriously again.
What to watch for on offense: More from the running game. While
the quarterback situation will be the biggest issue early on, the
Cardinal should be able to run the ball better than it has in years with
several good options working behind a veteran line. Helping the cause
will be mobility at quarterback which should mean far more than 111
yards per game.
What to watch for on defense: A killer pass rush. One of the
biggest surprises last year was Stanford's ability to get into the
backfield. The overall defense might not have put up the best stats, but
the Cardinal finished 11th in the nation in sacks and fifth
in tackles for loss as the coaching staff successfully manufactured ways
to disrupt things. Now there should be just as much havoc wreaked and
just as much work to get to the quarterback. Only now there should be
better overall results.
The team will be far better if… the quarterback evolves into a
steady playmaker. Whether it's Forcier, Alex Loukas, or incumbent Tavita
Pritchard, the Cardinal needs more consistency from a position that
produced just 13 touchdown passes and finished 109th
nationally in passing efficiency. Even with
Harbaugh pulling the strings and with veterans up front, it won't be
easy considering the line's inability to protect the quarterback and the
shortage of proven receivers.
The Cardinal
will know where it stands in Pac 10 play right off the bat getting
Oregon State to start followed up by a trip to Arizona State. The
non-conference schedule is tougher than it looks playing at TCU, a
resurgent San Jose State, and going to Notre Dame. With all the early
road games, Stanford has a stretch of five away games in seven weeks and
three in four before getting a week off. There's a good break getting
just four conference road games, but that's offset by only getting one
week off; the other comes at the end of the regular season. What's worse
is how the schedule gets toughest at the end. An early November break
would be nice, but Harbaugh's club won't get one facing Washington
State, at Oregon, USC and California to close things out.
Best offensive player:
C Alex Fletcher. The new quarterback of the Cardinal line, Fletcher is
showing off his versatility by shifting inside after a successful season
at guard. An intense blocker with a future in the NFL, he earned a spot
on the All-Pac-10 second team as a junior and now will make an even
bigger impact. A veteran of 31 games, he plays from whistle-to-whistle
and does his best work when he disengages and gets moving in space.
Best defensive player: LB Clinton Snyder. In a couple of years,
Snyder has emerged as one of the Pac 10's better kept secrets. He does a
little bit of everything for the Cardinal defense, supporting the run,
blitzing the quarterback, and dropping back smoothly into pass coverage.
If he played in Los Angeles, he'd be on everyone's short list for
individual awards.
Key players to a successful season: The entire offensive line. With
more support up front, everyone on the Cardinal offense, from the
quarterbacks to RB Anthony Kimble, will benefit. The next step in
Harbaugh's evolution at Stanford is to inject life into the offense, but
that won't happen if the front wall allows four sacks a game and
struggles to create daylight for the backs.
The season
will be a success if ... Stanford claws its way to the .500 mark.
While it'll take an upset or two along the way, it'll also be a
monumental step for Harbaugh and a program that hasn't finished a season
even since 2001. It bears repeating, the Cardinal beat USC and Cal a
year ago, so the team knows it can beat the good teams. Now it has to do
so on a regular basis.
Key game: Aug. 28 vs. Oregon State. What better way to begin a
season than by knocking off a conference foe? The Cardinal should be
able to capitalize against a Beaver program that's coping with question
marks in the backfield and a slew of new starters on defense. In a
televised Thursday night game, Stanford gets to show a large audience
that last year's pulse is still beating.
2007 Fun Stats:
- First quarter scoring: Opponents 71 – Stanford 27
- Fourth
down conversions: Stanford 8 of 18 (44%) – Opponents 5 of 17 (29%)
- Punt return average: Opponents 8.2 yards – Stanford 6.3

Rows of computer screens pulsed with temperature and pressure readings inside the nerve center of the Alon USA Bakersfield Refinery on Rosedale Highway. Occasionally an alarm would sound and one of three men at the controls would check whether an adjustment was needed.
The plant's general manager stepped in Tuesday morning with a visitor. "I hear we got a nice color today," he told one of the control room operators.
Indeed they had: The refinery's mild hydrocracker -- a shiny, silo-like piece of equipment key to the plant's recent overhaul under new ownership -- was successfully churning out a clear, yellow liquid for making diesel fuel, gasoline and other products for the local market.
Much rides on that yellow liquid, not the least of which are 150 or so good local jobs and a more reliable fuel supply for the local agriculture and transportation industries. The fluid is also central to Alon's bold strategy to succeed where the refinery's previous owners have failed.
Until earlier this year, the refinery had no way of turning brownish-green vacuum gas oil into the yellow form General Manager Gordon Leaman Jr. was so interested in that morning. That's because the plant was designed to refine only crude oil, which it did until its closure about 30 months ago, to the tune of 65,000 barrels a day.
But since the refinery's June restart under Israeli-owned Alon, the plant has processed no oil whatsoever. Now it deals only with gas oil brought in by truck and rail from another refinery complex the company owns and operates about 140 miles away in southeast Los Angeles County.
The transportation process is far from ideal, and some wonder how long it can be sustained. For about a year Alon has been frustrated in its attempts to negotiate rights to use the only petroleum pipeline between here and L.A. so that it doesn't have to rely on trucks and rail cars.
Among those skeptical of such a long haul is Henry Medina, president of Bakersfield-based Fleet Card Fuels, one of the refinery's wholesale fuel customers. He said the current model seems to require a lot of handling and transportation expense.
"Is that viable? I hope it is, but I'm not so sure," Medina said Wednesday.
But on another level, refining gas oil left over from Alon's Paramount-Long Beach complex achieves new efficiencies that the plant's former owner, Utah-based Flying J Inc., tried but failed to achieve.
In the refining hierarchy, gas oil is one step above asphalt. It's a heavy byproduct that Flying J produced in Bakersfield but had to sell to bigger refineries down south because it lacked the capacity to process it.
Flying J applied for a permit to reconfigure the plant so it could refine gas oil, but eventually it gave up under community opposition. The company's December 2008 bankruptcy indirectly led to the refinery's closure in early 2009.
Alon paid about $40 million for the plant in spring of last year, then spent months redesigning the refinery. After a false start in late May, the plant sold its first batch of diesel on July 5, followed by its first gasoline sales in the middle of last month.
The refinery processes about 11,000 barrels of gas oil a day, turning it into about 300,000 gallons of diesel and 140,000 gallons of gasoline daily. It also makes smaller amounts of propane, butane and other petroleum products.
Leaman, the general manager, said plans call for ramping up to process 14,000 barrels a day, an increase of about 27 percent.
Fleet Card's Medina said much of that fuel ends up in tractors, commercial fleets and trains around Kern County. He said having a local supplier doesn't necessarily mean lower prices, because of the global nature of the commodity, but it does make supplies more dependable. For example, he said, customers won't have to wait for trucks bringing diesel from Los Angeles.
But to him, the biggest local effect of reopening the refinery is job creation.
Refiner as employment engine
Some 175 jobs were lost when Flying J closed the refinery, leaving a skeleton crew of a few dozen workers to look after the property. Refinery spokesman Chad Druten said the plant now employs 103 people, most of whom worked at the plant under Flying J. He said the company is looking to hire another five workers.
Alon also contracts more than 50 people to perform duties such as maintenance and security, not including the many truckers who bring in gas oil from Long Beach, Druten said.
In another change under Alon, the United Steelworkers Local 219 no longer represents workers at the refinery. Union official Ed Huhn said that's disappointing in light of an Alon official's pledge months ago to recognize the union.
Huhn said United Steelworkers has a complaint pending in Washington that seeks to reinstate the union's place at the refinery. Without a union there, he said he fears that management will cut back employees' wages and health benefits.
Even so, he remained positive about the plant's reopening.
"I'm glad they're up and running," Huhn said, "so the people out there can get paid."
Corporate view
The refinery's success is no small matter for Alon's publicly traded U.S. subsidiary, Dallas-based Alon USA Energy Inc.
The Bakersfield reopening was the first topic mentioned in the company's second quarter earnings news release Aug. 4, when it announced net income, excluding special items, of $16.7 million as compared with a $29.5 million loss a year before.
Although the Bakersfield restart came about too late in the year to figure heavily into the company's second quarter profits, President and CEO Paul Eisman lauded the "hard work" done off Rosedale Highway.
Eisman praised the Bakersfield team again Aug. 5.
"It's very early in the operation, and we are working to maximize the unit performance, but what we see thus far is promising," he told analysts in a conference call.
"The refinery greatly increases the competitiveness of our West Coast operations," Eisman went on to say. He added that priorities now include controlling costs and maximizing fuel production at the plant.
Alon's vice president of West Coast refining, Ed Juno, said this week that another important task is phasing in higher wholesale prices that better reflect the refinery's costs. He said the refinery initially offered low prices as it reentered the local market.
Most of these pricing adjustments have taken place already, he said.
"We're just concentrating on getting our operations smoothed out and our logistics with the truck and rail are beginning to click," he said. "So, I think everything's just coming together."

The housing is a good quality steel. It has a fairly large hole at the back with a rubber grommet for feeding the wires through. There is also a long, wide slot from that hole along one side to the front, so the clamp can get a good grip on the meter. I'm very pleased with this unit. I prefer function over form.11 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful for you? YesNoShare this review:

a deleted computer is shown in a report
I have a computer that i deleted from active directory last week. It doesn't appear in AD nor in symantec endpoint protection's clients.
But somehow it still appears in the reports of not-scanned, AV definition out of date etc.
why is it still shown in the reports?
And, by the way, what are the numbers of total computers in these reports? it shows two different numbers in different reports... what do they stand for?
after upgrade from RU5 to RU6, many formerly deleted computers finally disappeared and reduced drastically these total computers count, but i still can't understand the difference between the two counts...
thanks a lot!
Comments 14 Comments • Jump to latest comment
i already did that, it appears in every new report.
the issue is, that it used to happen a lot with the 11RU5.
yesterday, we upgraded to RU6, and today the long list of deleted computers that was in the report dissappeared, but this machine, that was taken out of the domain last week (like many others who don't appear there).

Coast Guard on alert starting today
THE Philippine Coast Guard-Cebu Station will be on red alert status starting today in anticipation of the influx of passengers who will travel to provinces for the observance of the Holy Week.
The different attached agencies of the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) will put up passengers assistance centers or help desks in the different ports as part of the government's "Oplan Ligtas Byahe: Kwaresma 2013."
Cebu Coast Guard station commander Weniel Azcuna said he had already instructed all the 13 coast guard detachments in Cebu, which includes Mandaue City, Danao City, Argao, Bato Samboan, Tangil in Dumanjug, Toledo City, Tabuelan, Hagnaya in San Remegio, Sta. Fe in Bantayan Island, Camotes Island, among others, to implement the Oplan Ligtas Byahe.
The help desks will also have medical teams from the Coast Guard and Philippine Red Cross, Azcuna said.
He said all personnel should report to office and all their leaves of absences are recalled.
Because of the expected influx of passengers going to Bantayan Island, he said, at least 10 personnel will be deployed in Hagnaya as reinforcement and another 10 personnel in Sta Fe port.
Tighter security will be implemented in major ports where K9 dogs are deployed.
Azcuna said the Coast Guard has 2 rescue vessels in case of emergency while members of the Special Operations Group (SOG) are on standby.
Azcuna said the surge of passengers are expected to start on Friday./CORRESPONDENTS JHUNNEX NAPALLCAN AND JOY CHERRY S. QUITO

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
This book combines practical guidance and theoretical background for analysts using empirical techniques in competition and antitrust investigations. Peter Davis and Eliana Garcés show how to integrate empirical methods, economic theory, and broad evidence about industry in order to provide high-quality, robust empirical work that is tailored to the nature and quality of data available and that can withstand expert and judicial scrutiny. Davis and Garcés describe the toolbox of empirical techniques currently available, explain how to establish the weight of pieces of empirical work, and make some new theoretical contributions.
The book consistently evaluates empirical techniques in light of the challenge faced by competition analysts and academics--to provide evidence that can stand up to the review of experts and judges. The book's integrated approach will help analysts clarify the assumptions underlying pieces of empirical work, evaluate those assumptions in light of industry knowledge, and guide future work aimed at understanding whether the assumptions are valid. Throughout, Davis and Garcés work to expand the common ground between practitioners and academics.

Pag-asa island municipal workers want to go out to stop Chinese
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—Employees of the municipal government on Pag-asa reported on Friday that Chinese fishermen continued collecting corals from the edge of islands on the fringe of reefs 3 kilometers from Pag-asa.
"We counted at least five large fishing boats from the eastern side of the island," said Ronnie Cojambo, a municipal employee, told the Inquirer by text message. "At least two were new and just arrived."
Kalayaan Mayor Eugenio Bito-onon said the municipal staff on the island had wanted to go out to stop the Chinese but he had prevailed on them not do anything, as the matter was for the DFA to deal with.
Coral destruction
Bito-onon said he also ordered the Kalayaan sea patrol to refrain from accosting to the Chinese fishermen.
"We will just let the DFA handle this matter," he said.
A marine conservation expert said on Friday the coral mining by the Chinese off Pag-asa would have a serious impact on important marine ecosystems around the Coral Triangle.
Romeo Trono, former head of Conservation International Philippines and the turtle conservation program of the government, urged countries bound by the international agreements to protect the Coral Triangle to help ask China to stop its fishermen from mining corals in the West Philippine Sea.
Rex Robles, a retired Navy officer, said the government should ask the United Nations not for a peacekeeping force but for a maritime patrol to protect the Philippine environment from Chinese destruction.
"The corals have been there for years, and now they're destroying them in an hour or two," Robles said.
"There should be patrols in the whole area there, which should be declared a sanctuary and supervised accordingly," he said. TJ Burgonio in Manila and Redempto Anda, Inquirer Southern Luzon

It's accessible from a Captain's ship in the books. They walk through a door on their ship and wind up there.
IMHO, they should do that. There is a limit to the vendors you can access while there (no ship change merchant, etc.) and since everyone gets access eventually, the easy access vendors don't present a huge game balance issue.
What about the ship exterior, since it would be gone if nobody warped there and it was treated as an extra ship room? Just allow people to fly around the Captain's Table in little vanity ships. But you should go to the Captain's Table from your Bridge or Ready Room and when you leave the area, you wind up back in your Bridge or Ready Room with your ship being where it was before.

Nvidia owners... avoid the 310.xx drivers...

I use an ASUS Geforce GTX 660 Ti and am running the latest driver from the Nvidia site (i.e., 3.10.90 WHQL). I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
I can easily reproduce the flickering head problem you mention IF I use Direct X11.
Changing the video card options (in-game) to use Direct X9 and restarting the game, fixes the problem. I've been trying every release from Nvidia to see if it fixes the flickering problem while in DX11 and have had no joy. I am forced to switch back to DX9 every time.
I wish they would address the Direct X11 issue though.

New Looks: Decoupage Details • FloralMay 16th, 2013 – Comment
I've never had the time to scrapbook or craft much, but I love looking at hand made decorative objects, and obviously, my creative energies all go into creating my own "crafting" of wedding dresses! This season, inspiration struck while looking at some Victorian decoupage. From the French word "to cut" this art of assembling and layering paper cutouts (often from floral greeting cards, wallpaper, and such) is still quite popular. As I was working with the layers of lace, appliques, vintage ribbons and hand-made flowers, I loved this idea of layering and almost creating a "collage" with my materials. My daughter saw me working on the Charlotte belt, and couldn't resist helping out! Maybe I will have a future assistant!

Real Brides: Lorna in Dew DropMay 15th, 2013 – Comment
Lorna takes our breath away in the Dew Drop gown and Bolero. She was an absolute delight, and we just love how she worked that dress! The perfect blushing bride!
From the Bride:
After visiting half a dozen other shops, I was not finding the type of dress I envisioned. Too mainstream, not original enough. I fell in love with Claire Pettibone boutique the moment I walked into her shop. It was like being in a gourmet confectionary shop with too many delicious choices. Exquisite gowns in abundance. When I walked in I knew I was in the right place. There were dozens of dresses I could have been happy with. I wanted something with a vintage, hand made feel, lots of attention to small details, something that looked from a past century, but with a touch of whimsy as well. My experience there was wonderful. My choice, 'Dew Drop' fit all the criteria. I felt just like a faery queen from an 1800's illustration, like I stepped out of my throne in the center of a large pink cabbage rose. Perfect! Cinderella had her pumpkin, I had my rose! On my wedding day, everyone kept saying to me 'you look like a faery!', or 'flower goddess' or 'you look magical!' which was exactly what I was trying to achieve. Couldn't be happier.

I took on an exciting project this season (and a walk down memory lane), mentoring the incredibly talented students at my alma mater, Otis College of Art and Design. Here's Part One for a peek into the design process, from design direction, sketches, muslin fittings, all leading up to the juried show voted on by the leaders in the fashion world. I'm so proud to report that all of my students made the cut for their work to appear in the gala scholarship benefit and fashion show to be held this weekend at the Beverly Hilton. I'll be attending, and will report back with final show photos and my winner for the Golden Thimble award…tough choice, the students all did a fabulous job!

MS Hans Hedtoft was a Danish liner that struck an iceberg and sank on 30 January 1959 on her maiden voyage off the coast of Western Greenland.[1] The only piece of wreckage ever found was a lifebelt. As of 2015, she remains the last ship sunk by an iceberg with casualties.
Hans Hedtoft was 82.65 metres (271 ft 2 in) long, with a beam of 14.17 metres (46 ft 6 in) and a depth of 6.43 metres (21 ft 1 in). She was assessed at 2,875 GRT, 1,368 NRT.[2]
Hans Hedtoft was built by Frederikshavns Værft at Frederikshavn in northern Denmark. She was yard number 226, launched on 13 August 1958 and completed on 17 December.[3] She had a double bottom and seven watertight compartments and an armoured bow and stern. She was designed to provide a year-round service between Denmark and Greenland. Like the RMS Titanic, Hans Hedtoft had a riveted hull, a feature which was criticised by Knud Lauritzen, a shipowner. Lauritzen claimed that a riveted hull was not as resistant to ice pressure as a welded hull.[1] Hans Hedtoft had the Code Letters and radio callsign OXKA.[4] The ship was named for a former prime minister of Denmark.
Hans Hedtoft sailed from Copenhagen on her maiden voyage on 7 January 1959. Her voyage to Julianehaab, Greenland, was made in record time. Hans Hedtoft called at Nuuk, Sisimiut and Maniitsoq before returning to Julianehaab.[5]
On 29 January, she began her return journey.[6] The ship had 40 crew, 55 passengers and a cargo of frozen fish on board.[1] One of her passengers was the Danish parliament (Folketing) member Augo Lynge.[5] The next day, Hans Hedtoft collided with an iceberg about 35 miles (56 km) south of Cape Farewell, the southernmost point of Greenland.[6] A distress call was given at 13:56 (local time) stating that the ship had hit an iceberg at 59°30′N 43°00′W / 59.500°N 43.000°W.[5] The call was answered by the USCGC Campbell, the West German trawler Johannes Krüss[1] of Bremerhaven[5] and another West German trawler. Within an hour, another message was sent stating that the engine room was flooded.[1] At 15:12, it was announced that the ship was sinking. A final message was sent at 17:41 stating the ship was slowly sinking and requesting immediate assistance.[5] Aircraft in Newfoundland were grounded by the weather and unable to assist in the search for Hans Hedtoft.[1] The beginning of an SOS was received by Johannes Krüss at 17:41 after which communication with Hans Hedtoft was lost.[5] On 31 January, USCGC Campbell reported that conditions were the worst seen and there was no sign of Hans Hedtoft or her passengers and crew.[7] The search was called off on 7 February.[6] The only piece of wreckage ever recovered was a lifebelt which washed ashore some nine months after the ship sank.[5] The ship sank with parish registers from parishes of Greenland, which were meant to be deposited in archives in Denmark, causing a major loss for Greenlandic genealogy.[8]
As a result of the sinking, the airfield at Narsarsuaq, Greenland, which had closed in November 1958, was reopened.[9] An appeal fund for the relatives of the victims was opened. Kr40,000 (then £2,000) was raised amongst ten countries in two months.[10] Compensation for the relatives amounted to Kr1,184,936 (then £59,000).[11] Like the RMS Titanic, Hans Hedtoft was said to be the safest ship afloat,[1] being described as "unsinkable" by some.[5]
Possible use as a warship[edit]
Hans Hedtoft was armed with three 40 mm anti-aircraft guns, on the orders of the Danish Ministry of Defence (MoD). The armament was not part of the original plans, and the ship was strengthened in three places to take the guns. An ammunition room was built into the bow of the ship. The MoD provided the anti-aircraft guns free of charge. Although fitted during tests, the guns were dismounted and carried aboard Hans Hedtoft at the time of her sinking. An order had been issued that the guns were to be removed from the ship immediately after she arrived back in Copenhagen. It was claimed that the arming of Hans Hedtoft resulted in a warship being constructed without the approval of the Folketing.[5]
On 30 January 2005, Queen Margrethe unveiled a monument at North Atlantic Wharf, Copenhagen, to the 95 people lost on Hans Hedtoft.[12]

Drop of more than 200 points — on renewed fears of impact of Greek default — is biggest since Nov. 23
Stocks suffered their biggest losses in three months Tuesday, the first hiccup in a strong and steady rally to start the year. Wall Street worried about the global economy and waited while Greece pressured the last investors to sign on for its bailout.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 200 points, giving up more than a quarter of its 745-point advance since Jan. 1, the best start to a year in the U.S. market since 1998.
The sell-off, which spread west from Europe, also interrupted a period of unusual calm on Wall Street. Before Tuesday, the Dow had not fallen 100 points for 45 straight trading sessions, the longest streak since 2006.
The decline of 203.66 points was the worst for the Dow since Nov. 23 and left the average at 12,759.15. It was only last week that the Dow closed above 13,000 for the first time since May 2008, four months before the worst of the financial crisis.
"When things go straight up and don't ever correct or have some sort of normal pullback, as an investor, that makes me nervous," said Ed Hyland, a global investment specialist with J.P. Morgan Private Bank.
The gradual rally had been powered by optimism about the U.S. economic recovery. But investors realized that Greece's debt problems, Europe's economic problems and Israel's Iran problems were still very much their problems, too.
Stocks fell sharply from the opening bell and never mounted a serious comeback. The Dow was down as much as 227 points. All but one of the 30 stocks in the average finished the day lower. Intel managed a gain of 7 cents.
All 10 industry groups in the Standard & Poor's 500 declined. Bank stocks, which typically take a hit when there is any reason to worry about Greece, led the declines, followed by industrial and materials companies, which depend on strength in the world economy.
Alcoa, which makes aluminum and depends heavily on world economic demand, fell 4.1 percent, the worst of the Dow 30. China revised its projection for economic growth on Monday to 7.5 percent this year, down from 8 percent.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 20.97 points, its worst decline since Dec. 8, to 1,343.36. The S&P had not declined 1 percent or more for 45 straight trading days, also the longest streak since 2006. That year, the S&P put together 94 in a row.
The Nasdaq composite index dropped 40.16 points to 2,910.32. The Nasdaq last week broke through 3,000 for the first time since December 2000, during the collapse in dot-com stocks.
Last year, sell-offs like this were much more common. The S&P fell by at least 1 percent on 48 trading days, roughly one in every five. During the depths of the financial crisis in the last four months of 2008, it happened roughly one in every three days.

Legal eagles in Los Angeles are yapping louder than usual about the fate of celebrity attorney Mark Geragos following the arrest of his lead private investigator on bribery charges. Sources say the L.A. District Attorney's office is currently trying to determine the extent to which the famed barrister, who's represented everyone from Michael Jackson to Scott Peterson, was aware of Bradley Miller's attempts to bribe an alleged rape victim—the lead witness in a case against one of Geragos' clients, L.A. real-estate scion Alex Izuierdo.
As Radar previously reported, Miller was arrested in June, along with Izquirdo's father and another man, for attempting to pay the woman money in exchange for her silence. (It's not the first time Miller has run into trouble. Just before Geragos client Michael Jackson's November 2003 arrest for child molestation, the P.I.'s Beverly Hills office was raided by prosecutors, though the evidence seized was ultimately ruled inadmissible.)

At 2 weeks po after my tummy tuck, I had to catch myself from falling backwards out of a chair - I had to tense up my stomach muscles pretty good and I am worried that I might have damaged some of the muscle repair that was done - is this possible??
Could I Have Damaged My Muscle Repair 2 Weeks PO?

Damage to her surgery?
Is it possible--yes. Is it likely--no. Most of the time if you break a suture or tear some tissue around a suture you would feel a "pop" and even with that the chances of having done some damage is modest. Do see your surgeon. A brief check up can give you valid reassurance.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Titania was born a normal human girl called Maryrose living in poverty with her grandmother during the Middle Ages. When she was collecting wood in a nearby forest, she was tempted by a group of Flitlings to return with them to Faerie Once there, she became a favorite of Queen Dymphna, earning the nickname Rosebud to protect her true name: she also caught the eye of King Obrey, who - spurred on by his jester the manipulative Amadan - magically transformed his wife into a tree and took Maryrose as his second wife. Maryrose took a gemstone glamour from Dymphna and used it to appear a pure-blood faerie at her coronation, taking the name Queen Titania.Titania seemed truly flattered by the love and attention of the king, but this was short-lived: Obrey was killed in battle by the rightful King of Faerie, Lord Auberon Seeking to reunite the warring factions, Auberon took Titania as his wife when he reclaimed the throne, and urged her to quickly set about the work of producing an heir to make the union secure. Titania felt slighted by the loss of a loving husband and his replacement with one whose only interest in her appeared to be political, and soon began the first of many affairs with the human falconer Tamlin. Titania's infidelity later became notorious - even one of her lesser subjects was able to comment on how fitting it was that Auberon wore horns - and she is rumoured to have had an affair with Dream of Endless (called "Lord Shaper" by the faeries) and was seen casually bedding her female servant Selwyn - unaware that the maid was Auberon in disguise. Perhaps because of her own infidelity, Titania was quick to assume that Auberon was equally unfaithful although no evidence of this was ever shown, and conversely Auberon was shown to maintain strong affection for his wife even if the face of her reputation, even regularly disguising himself as a maid to be with his queen without enduring her scorn.Titania was shown to be a jealous lover, demanding unconditional adoration from her lovers even though she rarely returned the feelings herself: her affair with Tamlin ended when he realised what she was truly like and she was noticeably annoyed when Dream sent no secret message for her with a servant who returned to Faerie from his realm. However, she has also shown genuine affection and emotion, even if she tries to hide it: when her affair with Tamlin leaves her with a human son (possibly the powerful magician Timothy Hunter she is devastated to have to send him to Earth to keep the secret of her nature and her affair from the King and risks sending her entire realm to war against Hell to protect her son with Auberon from being kept in Hell as payment of Faerie's tithe to the demons.Titania was acutely aware of her status as queen, and the respect and attention she felt she was due because of it. She nearly caused the destruction of her entire realm by cursing Molly O Rielly to turn her into the "Burning Girl" for no other reason than her attendants' fascination with the girl's efforts to grow real vegetables, and frequently grew enraged at Timothy Hunter's casual disregard for the possibility that she might be his mother. However, rarely, she can show something like humility, for example apologising to Molly for the trouble she caused the girl and acknowledging that she had done wrong. Despite her faults, Titania was a strong and able queen, whether riding out to face down the forces of Hell at the head of her army or subtley politicking to ensure that Faerie's best interests were met in the wider worlds

Governor Cuomo Announces New
Lights Out New York Initiative
Marking a victory for New York State's migratory birds, Governor Cuomo's office has announced a new Lights Out New York initiative, which will bring migrant-friendly practices promoted by NYC Audubon's Lights Out program to all state-owned properties across New York State. Thanks to efforts by Audubon New York in Albany, state-owned and managed buildings will turn off non-essential outdoor lighting from 11pm to dawn during peak spring and fall migration. Read more here.
The Governor's office also launched www.iloveny.com/birding, which will provide visitors with information on birding and how to participate in the new Lights Out initiative.

First New York City Bald Eagle Nest
in Over 200 Years Confirmed
New York City Audubon is very happy to report that a nesting pair of Bald Eagles has been confirmed on the South Shore of Staten Island. The female eagle appears to be incubating eggs, according to local Staten Island birders, who have nicknamed the birds "Vito and Linda." The presence of breeding Bald Eagles in New York City is a testament to the success of the environmental conservation movement in cleaning up New York's waterways and wild habitats, and is cause to celebrate for all New Yorkers.
Following an unusual winter during which Bald Eagles were spotted in all five boroughs of the City, a pair of eagles was reported to be nest-building off of Staten Island's north shore in early February. This pair did not stay to breed, but a second pair on the South Shore has now "stuck the landing." After building a "practice nest" at the site in 2014, the birds returned this spring to a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation property on Staten Island's South Shore. (The exact site is undisclosed, in order to protect the birds from disturbance.)
NYC Audubon is thrilled that America's iconic national bird is staying to nest within the five boroughs, for the first time in as much as a century. The presence of Bald Eagles in New York City is a testament to the success of the environmental conservation movement in cleaning up New York's waterways and habitats, and in banning environmental contaminants, particularly DDT in 1972. Only one pair of eagles was known to nest in all of New York State in 1960, compared to 173 pairs counted in 2010—and the population is growing. The eagles' decision to stay and breed in New York City is a reminder that when ecosystems are healthy, wildlife returns. Bald Eagles are back—for now—and New Yorkers should celebrate, cherish, and continue to protect them.
Of note from the NY State DEC: "If you see someone harassing or injuring an eagle, or if you spot destruction of eagle habitat or find an injured or dead eagle, report it at once to DEC's Wildlife Diversity Unit, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-4754, 518-402-8920."

Israel is a truly incredible place for birds and birding. Half a billion birds pass through Israel twice a year, making it the second largest migratory flyway in the world. Over 540 species of birds have been recorded in Israel, a country the size of New Jersey. From the snow-covered peak of Mount Hermon in the north, through the low-lying Dead Sea Valley and south to the granite peaks of the Eilat Mountains, Israel boasts an avifauna that is second only to the tropics. Join distinguished birders from the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI) Dan Alon, Noam Weiss, Jonathan Meyrav, and Amir Balaban as they discuss birding, the miracle of migration, and work being done to protect and provide for birds in Israel.Click here to learn more

Admire the glorious Chapel - a wonderful example of a complete neoclassical interior.
Read more
Skip to content Skip to secondary navigation Skip to main navigation
The Painted Hall is often described as the 'finest dining hall in Europe'. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor, it was originally intended as an eating space for the naval veterans who lived here at the Royal Hospital for Seamen. Its exuberant wall and ceiling decorations are by Sir James Thornhill and pay tribute to British maritime power.
The Painted Hall sits within the King William Court. Wren submitted designs in 1698 and the roof and dome were in place five years later. When in 1708 James Thornhill began decorating the interior, he was instructed to include many references to the importance of the navy in Britain's fortunes.
His 'great and laborious undertaking' was completed after 19 years, by which time the Painted Hall was felt to be far too grand for its original purpose. Respectable visitors were allowed admittance, after paying a small fee, and the residents of the Royal Hospital – Greenwich Pensioners – acted as tour guides.
Thornhill was paid only £3 per square yard (about one square metre) for the ceiling, and just £1 per square yard for the walls. However, he did receive a knighthood in 1720 and his legacy is the finest painted architectural interior by an English artist.
Key facts
Today the Painted Hall is open to visitors free of charge. It is also still used for the purpose for which it was originally built; as a venue for dinners and formal occasions. Visit our events calendar or venue hire pages for more details.

Coach: The way to beat GSP is to hurt him
Carlos Condit's trainer Mike Winkeljohn recently appeared on the Sherdog Radio Network's "Rewind" show, and talked Condit's fight vs. Georges St-Pierre at UFC 154 on Nov. 17 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
"Georges is the best in the world at what he does, but at the same time, we know what he does," said Winklejohn. "He does that, and hardly anybody's been able really to stop it, but with that being said, Carlos has got something for him. Every time he wants to shoot in, we want to not give him the proper distance. We want to not be there when he does shoot, but when he does, we want to have something there for him."
"He definitely followed my game plan for Nick Diaz to a T, but with that being said, it's different with Georges. Nick comes back from the dead. I think Carlos can unload on Georges and do damage early, and that will pay benefits as we go on … . You will see a different fight that way. The way to fight Georges is not to back away and touch him because he's going to eventually take you down and ride out a decision that way and he could finish you. Georges is great in many different positions, but the way to beat Georges is to hurt him."
"That's what this fight is going to come down to: Carlos can strike from so many places. He can hurt you in so many ways. What people have forgotten is that early in Carlos' career, he was tapping people out left and right. Carlos is great with his submissions and working on them daily."
"(GSP) wants to time Carlos' footwork to come forward and shoot on Carlos," Winkeljohn said. "There's no doubt about it. He's got to close the gap. Carlos is longer -- we know that, so that's what we're looking for. Things are going to happen when one of the two guys close the gap."

I am concerned the Condit camp is going to try and employ their jab and jog again. It is hard to take someone down if they constantly disengage and Jacksons has to know that Condit will get taken down if he tries to duke it out with GSP. Even if you take away GSP's takedown threat, I cannot see Condit winning a pure standup fight without some type of tactic. I hope I am wrong but I think we may see another jab/jog type of fight from NBK.
10/24/12 9:40 AM by Billyz
Condit was getting tossed all over the place back in the WEC by an undersized Judo guy. Sure he has improved since those days but the fact is GSP is .. well GSP. He doesn't need to shoot to take you down. He can trip/throw from the clinch or in a scramble etc. No one does it better, not even the most highly decorated wrestlers turned fighter out there. Condit will be on his back when GSP feels like putting him there.I understand what they mean about hurting him and then pursuing it but I don't think Condit will be able to put GSP on queer street and finish him off
10/24/12 9:32 AM by UGCTT_Winnson
Voted up sir. It's what I was worried about after CC/Diaz. I was given new hope when it didn't work out for Guida though. I think refs need to be made aware of timidity and how to deal with it. It's in the rules already, and might become an issue the higher the stakes get, so it should be nipped in the bud.
10/24/12 9:10 AM by UGSlapshot
If GSP has cage rust or otherwise can't stand with Condit, he'll just take him down and man hump him to a win. Sure Condit has sold bjj but the odds are he wont be able to pull off a sub from bottom.If he plans to Starns his way to victory I just don't see it happening. Didn't Diaz take Condit down? I just can't see Condit who is at this point massively overrated stuffing GSP and outstriking him. He's going to have to get lucky to beat GSP and I think this could be a rather boring fight.

Jake eye poked him, he never hurt him with any legal hitSerra getting the ko was the only time GSP has ever been finished with strikes and that was a green GSP who was still in his mid 20s. People forget how young and green he was because he got thrown to the wolves and whipped everybody at such a young age. He only lost about 2 rounds in the last 5 years since that fight. You can't compare GSP/Hardy with Condit and Hardy, COndit was a tenth of a second from being knocked the fuck out, his punch just landed a tad bit sooner. GSP was never in trouble against Hardy. Also if you want to play that game, look at Shields/Condit and GSP/Condit. Shields was decisively against Condit, Shields barely won a round against GSP

i think winklejohn is right. the reason why everyone believes you need to make it a "dogfight" with gsp is because that is probably the most effective way to beat him. just no one has been skilled enough to pull off that strategy yet. i'm also not 100% convinced this is actually what condit is going to try to docondit is probably the most intelligent fighter gsp has fought, and probably one of the best/fastest strikers also. that and his 19/20 month layoff come the time of the fight means it could be a very tough bout. i think if gsp fights how he did pre-knee there isn't going to be any trouble timing his takedowns but i can easily see him struggling if this "ringrust" stuff is realGORDON BOMBAY FOR THE WIN
