T700 is Sony Ericsson's successor to the T610 candybar phone. Doesn't it look like what we might have seen in the 1980s if the 1980s had today's cell phone tech? No curvaceous milling and roundrects here, but sharp corners and an old-school metal hardness. A quad-band 3G GSM model, it has has a 2" display, 512MB of storage, a 3.2-megapixel camera and stereo speakers. It will appear in the fourth quarter, offered in silver, black and silver, and black and red. Wouldn't a whole laptop made in this exact style be great? Press release [Sony Ericsson via Gizmodo]

I'm not a big fan of SE's designs, but this does show a great improvement on the aptly named candybar phones released to date. The buttons do like a bit hard to hit, though.
And yes, you're absolutely right about the laptop idea. But then, Sony could almost rival Apple with it's pricing models (I'm thinking Vaio).
This is the kind of industrial design I've always imagined reading William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy.
An Ono-Sendai would totally have buttons like that.
This looks like the remote control to a high end mini audio system from Denon, Kyocera or Luxman, circa 1983. I like the look but I'll bet it gets very fingerprinty.
#3 – Like this?
From this fanatastic gallery of Japanese design: http://my.reset.jp/~inu/ProductsDataBase/index2.htm
Thanks for the link, Muteboy. I'll share that with the vintage audio fans on AudioKarma.
Folks, check out my fantasy MID based on this.
I love my iphone, but prior to that I was all SE phones.
I still think they're sweet everytime BBG or giz posts about them. Even if I did have problems with every one of them (reception, charging problems)
Hmmm, this reminds me —
anyone ever build a Bluetooth headset into an ordinary old dial phone handset?
I've noticed how many people shout into their cell phones or headsets — and recall the reason the original Bell handset was made as a hollow tube was so some of your speaking voice would echo up the handle and feed back to your ear clearly.
I'd be very happy to leave my cellphone in my backpack across the room with Bluetooth turned on — and just have a simple old standard Bell phone handpiece on my desk to talk through.
Room for a nice big battery too, but remember not to block the hollow part of the handle!
Best of both millenia.

We heard that one of our girlfriends from back in the day had a condo for rent. We just had to go check her out. I mean we wanted to check out the condo. I had forgotten how hot Kennedy was. Her body was a more inviting then the place for rent. She showed us around, and we really fell in love with the place. After the tour we had to see the rest of Kennedy becuse she was making my panties wet. I spilled some champagne on her, so I coud just avoid small talk. I wanted to fuck her and that was that. She had the same on her mind cause she just wanted me to lick it off her. After we broke the ice the clothes flew off and the pussy licking was in full effect. We got some toys and I got to strap it on and give it to her like I wanted from the start.

Norma Rhea Moore Rumage
Norma Rhea Moore Rumage was born in Weatherford, Tex. on Feb. 10, 1933 to Jewel Josephine Combs Moore and Bert Leon "Buck" Moore. In the late 1930's, her parents, her brother Gerald Moore and she moved to Jacksboro where she lived for the remainder of her life. She married Robert Owen "Bunk" Rumage on June 25, 1955 at the Memorial Christian Church in Jacksboro, where her service is to be held on Saturday, Nov. 3 at 11 a.m. Her husband preceded her in death on Aug. 12, 1978. She is survived by her daughter, Roxanna Rhea Maddox and husband, Bob Maddox, of Jacksboro, and son, Robert Randall Rumage, and wife, Marie Yamamoto, of Los Angeles, as well as two very special grandsons, Murray "Miles" Maddox of Houston and Madison "McCall" Maddox of Fort Worth. She is also survived by her brother Gerald Moore and his wife Sammie Ellis Moore of Carlsbad, N.M. Norma leaves behind sisters-in-law Sarah Rumage, Julia Rumage, Bernice Rumage, Olive Rumage, and Ophelia Henderson; cousin Linda Hale; and several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. In addition to her being preceded in death by her brothers-in-law J.T. Rumage, Carl Rumage, Warren Rumage, and C.M. "Junior" Rumage, she was preceded in death by a niece Melinda Rumage, in 1972, a nephew John Moore, in 1997, and sister-in-law Katherine Moore, in 2008.
In her almost 80 years on earth, Norma lived a colorful and eventful life. In her younger days, Norma liked to change residences almost as frequently as she changed occupations. Over a period of 15 years, she and her family lived in 13 different homes in Jacksboro, as she enjoyed renovating and redecorating each and every residence. Norma was always on the cusp of trends in fashion and style...even during the 1970's heyday of avocado-hued appliances, shag carpet, and orange-colored Formica countertops. Years after Norma selected and installed a wild floral 1970's print wallpaper in her bathroom, she discovered that Suzanne Pleshette's TV character on "The Bob Newhart Show" went out and selected the exact same print for their fictional Chicago apartment. Over the course of Norma's working life, Norma's occupations ranged from head bookkeeper at the local bank to independent oil producer. Perhaps her shortest employment was her tenure at Fort Wolters Air Force base in Mineral Wells, Tex. with friend Jean Elenburg. Norma and Jean were required to keep track of the number of planes that landed ... which happened about three times per day, leaving hours of downtime with nothing to do. Although this was during a time of peace, Norma had but one speed ... and it was fast-paced, so she ended her military service almost before it was time to break for lunch.
Her work experience scurried from stints at the Jack County Court House to the Superintendent's office and beyond. Realizing her true talents weren't being fully utilized in public service, she quickly became an entrepreneur. Norma owned and operated for many years a women's clothing store on Belknap Street which she named Norma's Dress Shop. This job allowed her to select her merchandise from the many fashion clothing vendors at The Fair Market in Dallas. However, for most of her career, she worked at the First National Bank in the bookkeeping department where her whirlwind speed with figures (as with her favorite pastime, playing cards) allowed her to leave work early practically every day as she processed mounds of checks and statements at a frenetic pace. Norma was unfamiliar with the phrase "leading a leisurely paced life."
In 1966 she abandoned the desk jobs, the dress shop, and managing two different local motels (The Image Motel and The Aztec Hotel) in order to become a licensed beautician; owning and operating, with her friends Jean Elenburg and Betty McAnear, a beauty shop. Although the business was a financial success, Norma became restless with the daily task of trying to beautify the women. Although the shop was called "The Magic Mirror," Norma was the first to admit she was no miracle worker, so instead she turned to bottle-feeding and raising baby calves … a logical progression. Norma always said it was easier to please the calves than the public.
With her family she invested in real estate (both undeveloped land and residential properties), formed an oil production partnership, and owned an oil fracturing/acidizing business. For a brief period, she returned to the former site of Norma's Dress Shop and transformed it into The Pantry, which was a lunchtime favorite among the locals, known for its homemade soups, salads and sandwiches. For someone who didn't like to cook, Norma had a way with macaroni and cheese that no one else could replicate. Norma liked her jams, jellies and pies very runny (or, in her words, "I don't like a stiff pie.") When you would slice her meringue pies, the custard filling would run all across the plate. Rather than a fork, you needed a spoon and a straw. When she was questioned about the consistency of her pie custard filling, she said, "No one's ever choked on my pies." Norma was making 30-minute meals long before Rachael Ray. Then her meal preparation time was reduced drastically when she acquired a microwave oven and a pressure cooker. Not known for reading recipes or directions, Norma once baked a canned ham in the oven without removing the ham from the can. Fortunately no one was in the kitchen when the pressurized heat inside the can caused the ham to explode, bolting open the oven door, and projecting shards of metal and shredded meat all over the ceiling, walls and floors.
She had quite the entrepreneurial spirit and was fearless when it came to trying "something new and innovative." Her motto was "lead, follow, or get out of the way." She instilled this fiery and disciplined work ethic in her children and grandchildren. Another favorite adage of hers was "Life is like a piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it." Despite her hitting some sour notes, it never stopped her from playing the game of life.
Although she had not traveled much prior to sending her children to Europe for summer vacations during their high school years, Norma embarked (with her children and nephew Bryan Moore) on a ten-state northeastern U.S. tour following her son's graduation from college. She survived two roundtrip road trips from Texas to California, but preferred making the trips to Los Angeles (sometimes with her daughter, son-in-law, grandsons, niece Carla Beth Horton and great nephew Derek Horton to visit her son, daughter-in-law, and nephew Bryan Moore inside an American Airlines jet. On one occasion, she was selected to "come on down" on the television game show "The Price Is Right" where she won a trip to Holland, Germany and Belgium in spite of confusing a Krackel bar with a cracker (as well as flustering Bob Barker in the process). She brought her daughter and son with her on that European trip. At the time, The Netherlands was celebrating Queen Beatrix Day, and the streets were lined with tens of thousands of citizens. Although Norma had no sense of direction and couldn't speak a word of Dutch, she always took the lead…and among the hordes of crowds there for the Queen's parade, Norma vanished from sight, and almost became an "Unsolved Mystery" of her own in a foreign land.
Norma loved comedians … Bob Hope, Carol Burnett, Bea Arthur, and, yes, even Chris Rock. She loved to sit around the piano and sing her favorite songs…"Swanee," "Hello Dolly," "Mame," "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," "Frankie And Johnny," "The Glory of Love," "All I Care About Is Love," "If My Friends Could See Me Now," and "Side By Side."
Norma was a two-time survivor of cancer (in 1977 and in 1999). She was treated at the Baylor Hospital in Dallas, at M.D. Anderson in Houston, and at Faith Community Hospital in Jacksboro. She was greatly appreciative of and indebted to all the healthcare professionals who brought her back from the brink of death, not the least of which was Dr. Jamal, who continued to faithfully care for her for the next 13 years, until her death on Monday. She was also assisted by her longtime friend-for-life, the late Quintina Salazar, and Quintina's daughter Maria Huerta, both of whom steadfastly helped Norma around the house for many years and provided dedicated service in Norma's time of need.
Although she will be missed by many, no one will miss her more than her family. She was the first to admit her faults, and often jokingly remarked, "If I knew I was going to live this long, I would've taken better care of myself." In spite of her self-admitted shortcomings, she was always fun-loving, kind, generous, dedicated to her children, and caused many a laugh with her natural witty sense of humor. She was funny without even trying. The world was a much better place by having been graced by Norma Rhea Rumage.
Adapted from one of her favorite songs, "The Glory of Love":
She told us, "Give A little, take a little,
And let your poor heart break a little.
That's the story of,
That's the glory of love."
She said to, "Laugh a little, cry a little
Before the clouds roll by a little.
That's the story of,
That's the glory of love."
And now there's just a few of us
Who still remember her funny lines.
She taught us all to love and learn,
And how to have good times.
She said to "Win a little, lose a little,
And always have the blues a little."
That's the story of
Norma's glorious love.

Re: The Maquis or the Federation?
Pardon my French, but I really don't fucking CARE what the crew of the
were smuggling. They did not deserve to die.
Although in the Maquis' eyes, the fact that it was a Cardassian crew probably made all the difference...
As for Eddington: Why should we not assume that he was Maquis from the get-go? He certainly acted like it.

Irish soda bread with wild blueberries
The hint of spring we experienced this weekend made me look forward to the summer ahead, and our annual trip to Downeast Maine. And from there it wasn't a big jump for me to think about baking something with blueberries. However, I'm seriously cutting back on sweets – so my usual muffins were out. It had to be something a bit more on the savory side.
So with St. Patrick's Day coming up, I thought I'd try a riff on my whole-grain Irish soda bread. I stepped away from tradition with the addition of dried Maine blueberries and olive oil. I also used a combination of Greek yogurt and skim milk instead of the usual buttermilk. Worked like a charm, and added protein to boot.
Best of all, this bread is chock full of whole grains including steel-cut oats and toasted wheat germ. And there's very little sugar – so enjoy it without guilt.
3 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour
¾ cup steel-cut oats
¼ cup toasted wheat germ
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup nonfat greek yogurt
1 cup fat-free milk
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons molasses (I used blackstrap)
1 tablespoon sugar
¾ cup dried wild blueberries
Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
Mix the flour, oats, wehat germ, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt, milk, olive oil, molasses and sugar. Stir into the dry mixture along with the blueberries, mixing only until the dough just comes together. Transfer to a floured surface and gently form into a round loaf.
Place on a lightly greased cast iron skillet or baking sheet (if you use a skillet, the loaf shouldn't be quite as large as the pan.) Score a deep X in the top of the dough. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the loaf sounds hollow when you tap the bottom. Cool before slicing.

America's leading review of the arts and intellectual life
April 2012
James Q. Wilson, 1931-2012
A look at the life of the conservative scholar.
was right!Support The
New Criterion
Among American conservatives, there has long been a division between those who take their bearings from Edmund Burke and those who take them from Alexis de Tocqueville. Burkeans are concerned with the preservation of ranks and establishments against the modern tides of democracy and revolution, Tocquevillians with the means by which democracies can preserve themselves against inbred tendencies to self-destruction. For Burke, the great question was how to resist the tide of democratic revolution in order to maintain what is valuable in civilization; for Tocqueville, it was how to render democracy compatible with civilization as a means of saving them both.
James Q. Wilson, who died on March 2 at the age of 80, was a Tocquevillian through and through. The great questions he addressed during his distinguished career in academe were related in one way or another to the preservation of the institutions of religion, family, and commu ...

a good getaway
very good time was had on this trip as we live close to san diego---this is a no-brainer--- embarkation the fastest ever for me- luggage drop off to lunch in dining room-
like 20 minutes !!! great----cabin and ship in good clean condition--good whale watching--- saw 6 at different times--- ate in the Pinnicle grill---best waiter ever---"Rocky--" food great as expected--- dining room a little iffy at breakfast time---slow and lukewarm at best---all workers very friendly-always a smile and eye contact---
only glitch was final night dinner--a special presentation--- sorta a fixed menu--- it was o.k. BUT , the blaring, way- too- loud music and the silliest
parade of waiters dancing around trying to throw our napkins in our laps---
needless to say on the table, in the butter, etc.--- well a little too much memory for the final nites gala remembrance---- otherwise a very enjoyable time was had!!!!!!
PLEASE STOP THE SMOKING ON VERANDAS-------WE More WILL CONSIDER THIS IN FUTURE PLANS Less

Editor's note: This is the second in a series of articles featuring local school marching band programs and their preparation for halftime shows they will play during football season.
By STEVEN NALLEY
Starkville Academy doesn't have the biggest band in town, but Amanda Harfst doesn't mind.
One of the band's few seniors, Harfst plays trumpet, and she says the band feels like family. She said she hasn't known the band's new director Duane Warfield for long, but he already feels like a close friend. He is able to take students' opinions into account without compromising his overall vision, she said.
"He's just really nice," Harfst said. "He doesn't yell at us, he doesn't get in our face, but he's still kind of stern. You know that you're not going to get away with anything, but it's not so bad. We're all really close, so we can joke around and just have fun, (but) we get so much done."
Warfield is starting off his first year as Starkville Academy's band director with band camp this week, preparing the students for their halftime show, "Salsa Explosion."
Before coming to SA, Warfield spent a year as an assistant band director at South Panola High School, and he also spent the 2006-2007 year teaching at SHS. He is currently pursuing a doctorate from the University of Iowa, and he is originally from St. Louis, Mo., but he said he was glad to return to Starkville.
"My wife and I really enjoyed the area," Warfield said. "We enjoyed South Panola and living up there, but my wife got a full-time job at (Mississippi State University); she's the new voice teacher. So, she decided to take that job, and I started looking for jobs and found that this was open."
Billy Wilbanks, SA high school principal, said Warfield's credentials are impressive. Current interest in the band is strong, he said, but he wants it to grow larger, and he believes Warfield can make it happen.
"Our numbers are down right now, so we're hoping that Mr. Warfield coming in will be able to have a good year (and) get our numbers back up," Wilbanks said. "We just welcome him, we're glad to have him on board and we look forward to an outstanding year."
Warfield said building the band up is one of his goals, but his primary goal is to give students a music education that will last after high school. That doesn't mean they have to play in a college band or major in music, he said; he just wants them educated well enough to pursue those goals if they desire.
"(I want students) to enjoy music enough that they can still enjoy it throughout life and continue to play it through community bands, in their churches (or) in the communities," Warfield said. "(This includes) not just playing their instruments, (but) singing too, any kind of music they can get involved in."
Beau Ellis, a rising eighth grader in SA's band, said he is excited about this year's halftime show. Before working with Warfield, he said, he wasn't familiar with the salsa genre, but he has fallen in love with it.
"I just think this will actually get the attention of the crowd," Ellis said.
Like Harfst, Ellis said the SA band feels like a family, and he is proud to be part of it. Its members get along even when problems arise, he said, and Warfield fits right in.
"He just seems like he knows what he's doing," Harfst said. "He seems like the kind of person that would listen to a student instead of just blasting his trumpet as loud as he can. He's open to suggestions. (Warfield is) just the kind of band director you'd like to have."
Warfield said if he seems laid back, it's partly because of his experience and largely because SA's band students are courteous and cooperative.
"I told them the first day I was here: 'You give me respect; I'll give you respect,'" Warfield said. "That's all I ask of them, and they've been doing it. The students are great, hard-working students, very friendly, very fun to be around (and) very anxious to learn."

I Am Alive is lucky to be alive itself. Originally announced in 2008, it was to be a survival game that would pit its lead – known at that time only as Adam – against something more frightening then monsters or ghosts; other people.
Intended as a full disk release from Ubisoft, and in production right after Assassin's Creed, it soon disappeared and became something of a myth. Eventually its original developers left the project and it was handed to Ubisoft Shanghai to complete.
It finally re-emerged this week as an Xbox LIVE (and later PSN) download title. The story is much the same as before, with you taking the role of a lone survivor heading back home to reunite with his lost wife and daughter. The world has been hit by something known simply as "the event" and has been left entirely in tatters. To make matters worse, food and water are scarce and the land is still hit with constant aftershocks.
I Am Alive is of the parkour-platformer mould where you traverse a dangerous, ruined environment. The twist to the gameplay is health and stamina management; climb or exert yourself for an extended amount of time and your stamina goes down. If you just happen to be clinging onto the side of a building when that happens, it's not going to be long before you're taking a deadly tumble. Finding food, water and other provisions will help recover your health and stamina, but good management of your actions is important if you are to survive.
On top of this are later sections involving a toxic dust that has been left in the wake of "the event". Whole areas of the city are filled with a thick mist that, when exposed to it, will slowly reduce your stamina. Once depleted, and if still within the clouds of dust, your health starts to suffer and very quickly you die.
The mist rapidly becomes one of the game's biggest problems as its visual representation is a mix of heavy handed techniques. I Am Alive is a very grey game, almost every area is devoid of any colour at all. At a glance you would be mistaken for thinking it was entirely black and white. The screen has a constant grainy filter applied, while the world is filled with a very thick fog. In small doses this is fine, but once you get to areas set at night or in blacked out rooms, it becomes very hard to navigate exactly where you are or where you're supposed to go. Factor into this the use of an invisible H.U.D. and you end up with a game that is near unplayable in some spots, with the screen edges filled with a red haze and blood splatters. This wouldn't be so bad if the H.U.D. used this for very short spurts, but instead it continues for as long as your health is lowered.
This problem also extends to one of the worst features of the games; its soundtrack. Featuring what is supposed to be a tension building atmospheric audio that plays during low stamina and health, it appears when your health is depleted by half. Can't find health or stamina items for a while? Then be prepared to put up with the headache inducing "survival horror" track that plays way too loud, and way too often.
I Am Alive is a game that acts like it wants you to go off the beaten path and find supplies or people to interact with, yet during almost every instance of exploration it punishes. Spend too long in the impossible to navigate mist and your health suffers. Explore where climbing is of extra exertion on your stamina and more often than not you fall. Expel a large amount of stamina and health in the hope you'll find a tomato to help a fellow survivor and instead find yourself surrounded by a gang with nearly no health and no chance of survival.
Speaking of other people, this aspect is actually where the soul of the game lies. Scattered around the world are different survivors – some have banded together to form small groups and some are hurt or trapped. It's with a group of these people that our lead character gets tied up and it's their plight the game wants to tell you about. Our now nameless hero is no longer the focus for the story, but is in fact a conduit for the family you meet and which the game wants you to feel for. This is an odd choice that appears to have been made in the move from developers Darkworks to Ubisoft Shanghai, as the lead characters back story and both the opening and end hinge on what happens.
The family you spend time with are the reason for your actions but their existence detracts from the initial connection you're supposed to feel for the lead character's story. In the end it feels like it has a detrimental effect to the overall narrative, made even worse when the game comes to its, frankly, sudden and empty end.
Instead, you find yourself more affected by the other people in need of food and supplies. You might come across someone whose been wounded and hand them a first aid kit to help them out. Later you might come across another, this time trapped under a boulder. If you had kept your first aid kit you could have helped them and suddenly the game does something unintended and unexpected – it causes you to feel guilty. You have to make a moral choice more potent then those normally found in interactive entertainment; leave the victim, and you might not be able to come back in time. Choose to walk away and you hear the fear and despair in their voice as they call out to you.
Of course, there are those who not only do not need your assistance, but have formed gangs to survive. Some will just threaten you with a gun and can be quietly moved past with only a few quietly spoken words. Others are more likely to confront you, giving the game a tactical play that requires you to out-think your fellow survivors.
Thought these more aggressive encounters are pretty shallow and always end the same way. The game lacks the depth to allow for defusing the situations you're in and eventually degrades into a `tackle the big bad guy first` style affair. More troubling is the problems with both the quality of the visuals and the camera; making out exactly what sort of threat the people around you present is sometimes impossible with them obscured by mist and out of view.
As a result of its issues I Am Alive ultimately feels rushed and empty at its end. Weak visuals and a soulless story detract from what is fundamentally a thrilling concept, but the implementation leaves you feeling frustrated and ultimately disappointed about what the game could have been.

Timing is everything. A study by David Cutler confirms that graduates who enter the labor market during bad economic times experience lower income, lower life satisfaction, greater obesity, more smoking and drinking later in life. The study also noted that education plays a protective role for these outcomes, as educated individuals, even when entering the market at times of high unemployment, have a much lower incidence of these outcomes than their uneducated counterparts. The study was published in Social Science and Medicine.

I discovered an interesting fruit a couple years ago. It was the starfruit- hence the title. I was a little upset when I saw a picture of one; star fruits don't exactly look like stars.
I guess I was expecting something closer to a fictional poupo fruit featured in the Kingdom Hearts games.

Psylin's mission is to pioneer the development of peptide therapeutics for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. PSN0041 will be the first compound in Psylin's pipeline to enter into clinical development. Other compounds are being investigated for development as antipsychotic and mood stabilizing therapies.
Amylin's proprietary peptide library known as PHORMOL encompasses an extensive panel of potentially valuable biologics that have been taken from nature, including human peptides not previously described. All of these have been synthesized to create a rich source of compounds that are being evaluated for potential utility in a range of diseases.
PsychoGenics' proprietary drug discovery technologies combine its broad in vivo behavioral expertise with recent developments in robotics, computer vision and bio/cheminformatics to evaluate drug candidates for potential utility across the spectrum of neuropsychiatric disease indications. Working in partnership with pharmaceutical and biotech companies, PsychoGenics has been instrumental in identifying therapeutic potential for a variety of early and late stage compounds including some with novel "first-in-class" mechanisms of action such as PSN0041.

If there's one thing salesmen know, it's the abiding faith that if they say something over and over again, that it will become true (at least in terms of public perception). So it's no wonder that the Pebble Partnership has spent millions of dollars on advertising and lobbying to convince us that there is no plan to mine in Bristol Bay. Sadly, Alaska's own Governor Sean Parnell has bought in, repeating this same tired rhetoric just this week at the world-famous Boston Seafood Show which he attends to represent the state of Alaska and our seafood industry.
Let's be absolutely clear: there is both a mine plan and a permit application for water rights on the table. Publicly accessible information is out there to prove it, much of it just down the street from the Governor's house and office.
Visit the Alaska Department of Natural Resources website, where you can find plans filed by Northern Dynasty (Pebble Partnership) in which they depict massive dams and tailings impoundments. You see, state law requires a detailed project description in order to apply for water rights and receive a priority date. Since Alaska's system is based on a principal of "first in line first in right," the companies seeking to develop Pebble quickly applied for the rights to "use" water from Upper Talarik Creek and the South Fork of the Koktuli River — some of the most salmon rich headwaters of the Bristol Bay fisheries.
If that's not enough, look at the presentations ( northerndynastyminerals.com/ndm/Presentations.asp ) that the company shows to corporate investors. Slideshows are filled with braggadocio about the sheer magnitude and unprecedented size of the project. Check out filings made with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC). The 2011 Wardrop Report — commissioned by these foreign mining companies — includes their own analysis about deposit estimates, mining methods, waste management and even a chapter called "mine planning." In a press release, Northern Dynasty called their mine plans "economically feasible and permittable." If the companies behind Pebble believe the Wardrop plans are factual, why shouldn't Alaskans and those responsible for upholding the nations Clean Water Act examine them as real mine plans?
For further insight just turn on your television. Slick advertisements intend to move public opinion in support of Pebble Partnership's plan to build the world's largest open-pit copper mine at the headwaters of the greatest wild salmon fishery on planet Earth. The magnitude of their ad campaign testifies to the size of their plans in Bristol Bay.

ANCHORAGE, AK – Coastal Villages Region Fund has reached an agreement with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to help fund its fisheries research activities in Western Alaska this summer. The fund will provide up to $92,152 to support the operation of weirs on the Goodnews Bay and Kanektok rivers.
The U.S. Commerce Department announced the appointment of 30 new and returning members to the eight regional fishery management councils that partner with NMFS to manage ocean fish stocks. The new and reappointed council members begin their three-year terms on Aug. 11.
Each year, the Secretary of Commerce appoints approximately one-third of the total 72 appointed members to the eight regional councils. The secretary selects members from nominations submitted by the governors of fishing states, territories and tribal governments.

A methodology is presented for optimizing hybrid renewable energy-fossil fuel systems with short-term heat storage. The considered system is an absorption-refrigeration (AR) cycle integrated with a heat exchanger network (HEN) requiring cooling below ambient temperature. The AR cycle can be driven by multiple energy sources including excess energy from hot process streams, renewable energy sources (solar and biofuels), and fossil fuels. A two-step approach based on mixed integer nonlinear programming methods is used for the optimization. First, the problem of optimal energy integration in the hybrid energy system without heat storage is solved on a monthly basis by minimizing simultaneously the total annual cost and the overall greenhouse gas emissions. In the second step, the multi-tank thermal energy storage (TES) design problem is solved. The design involves the identification of the optimal number of storage tanks, their sizes, configuration and operation policies. The TES optimization is carried out on an hourly basis while incorporating the design targets determined by the first step. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 60: 909–930, 2014
