As a great coffee (and tea!) enthusiast, I love trying out new places and brews around the city. Stockholm of course - as the capital of the land of caffeine-addicts - offers a nice variety of coffee houses.
When it comes to coffee in Stockholm, there is only one rule: Don't go to Espresso House. I know it's hard, because they are everywhere, but the coffee is overpriced and far from groundbreaking.
But let's start with my personal favorites.
Classic Fika @Johan&Nyström
Ilcaffé – This was the first coffee place I tried when I was in Stockholm for vacation two years ago. It's the kind of place where digital nomads go to stare at their macbooks all day. It has many small rooms with cozy corners, friendly baristas and an integrated flower store, which nicely adds to the urban flair. It's a little trashy (especially the toilet) but it always smells amazing and the coffee is good. Your brew will be served in a French Press and cost you 30kr. Like every true coffee house, they offer sandwiches and kanelbulle for the hungry ones among us (or those who really don't move all day). Located in the most hipster-y part of Söder right next to cult-store Grandpa, this is a nice place for an afternoon stroll.
Location: Södermannagatan 23 (T-bana: Metborgarplatsen)
Drop Coffee – Probably the most known place among coffee enthusiasts that love a great brew without milk or sugar. Drop coffee roasters infiltrate their brews with great flavors like parron or cocoa, which gives a nice spin to the whole thing. They've won various awards for roasting all over Europe. The great coffee has a heavy price tag though: The cheapest brew is 39kr – it's also my favorite. You don't buy just that cup of coffee, it's a whole experience to watch the barista slowly brew your drink (which also means you might have to wait a few minutes for your perfect coffee to be ready). The shop is layed out like a normal flat. Many small rooms, doors and corners give a nice atmosphere. The interior is minimalist but cozy and this is actually my favorite place when it comes to music. They play subtle but nice tunes throughout the day. I also want to mention the super-friendly employees that always chat with you if they find the time.
Location: Wollmar Yxkullsgatan 10 (T-bana: Mariatorget)
Veganen @BloomsBageri // Blooms Bageri // ilcaffé productivity
Petite France – This place literally takes you to Paris. A great variety of Petit Fours, Macarons and Croissants awaits the sugar-loving wanderer. Decorated like a classic French café from the beginning of the past century, the baristas serve you French coffee specialties. You can also dine and lunch here, accompanied by a huge variety of fine French wines (Warning: pricey!), classic French music and a fitting atmosphere. In summer they have a huge terrace close to the water, where you can enjoy the sun and pretend that you are sitting close to Notre Dame and not Radhuset. A nice change from classic Swedish cafés.
Location: John-Ericssonsgatan 6 (T-bana: Radhuset)
Johan & Nyström – A beautiful place, that looks like a combination of a library with a living room. The coffee is impeccable and also self-roasted. Everything is full of books, which of course is the best possible atmosphere for me. You can grab one to read anytime and get a nice distraction from whatever you're supposed to be doing. There is a super cozy top floor and a more open basement area. Oh, and they have the prettiest toilet I have ever seen. Because the place is rather small you occasionally bump into other guests which of course is a great conversation starter (besides the classic 'I love that book you just grabbed!').
Location: Swedenborgsgatan 7 (T-bana: Mariatorget)
Cycelcafé Le Monde – A cozy place with two floors and a view on busy Folkungagatan. Important to mention are the friendly baristas, the 90kr breakfast buffet and that the coffee is free refill (hell yeah!). As you might guess, the shop is decorated with bicycles. A nice change when you are used to all the minimalist coffee places everywhere. P.S.: They also make great drinks.
Location: Folkungagatan 67 (T-bana: Metborgarplatsen)
KAFFE // Petit Fours @PetiteFrance // Breakfast Buffet @Cycelcafé
Café Pascal – My favorite place in (underrated) Vasastan. Located close to university and the library, this is a small place for delicate tastes. Different healthy lunch options are available during the day made from organic ingredients. I have tried broccoli soup and avocado sandwiches – both very delicious. The brew is fine as well and you can choose from various other coffee options. It's on the expensive side though with coffee starting at 35kr and a lunch choice at around 90kr. The place is open and loud, so I would go here to chat with friends and not necessarily to work on my newest blogpost. Again a great example of Scandinavian interior design.
Location: Norrtullsgatan 4 (T-bana: Odenplan)
Baresso – I need to mention this place for the variety of great self-made baked goods. From cakes, to quiches over raw bars and other goodies - everything looks absolutely amazing and tastes good. The prices are decent. a brewed coffee is only 20kr but also far from breathtaking. Yet who is in search of a nice swedish fika and wants something else than a typical kanelbulle will be happy here. I must also mention the great brunch this place offers on Sundays between 11 and 16. For 159kr you receive the biggest breakfast variety I have ever seen, including the option to bake your own waffles. The interior is a bit worn down and doesn't appeal to hipster-taste, but sometimes it's the inside that counts, not the interior.
Location: Swedborgsgatan 25 (T-bana: Mariatorget)
KAFFE – A warning first: This is the only place I know in Stockholm, that only takes cash. Besides that, it has an awesome variety of coffee specialties, a tasty home brew and very talkative employees. Small biscuits and chocolates accompany every cup and the open space is full of windows so you can get inspiration from outside. This is one of my favorite places to lounge with my macbook and drink coffee all day, though I actually prefer the tea here. You can go for a shopping stroll on Götgatan or browse through one of the many close second-hand places, then come back for another cup.
Location: Sankt Paulsgatan 17 (T-bana: Slussen)
Blooms Bageri – Last but not least, I want to present this place, although it is more known for its great baked goods than for coffee. The coffee is still pretty good though (and free refill again), but the best thing to try here is the vegan sandwich. It's huge, it's tasty and it's full of all my favorite ingredients (avocado, hummus, beetroot…) If I could marry a sandwich it would be this one. Blooms is a small space that feels like a bar, but smells much better thanks to the baking. You have the best view on one of the most popular streets in Söder - so great for people watching, which we all secretly love doing.
Location: Sankt Paulsgatan 24 (T-Bana: Mariatorget)
So there you go, all my personal favorites organized in one neat place. Please do try them out.

the african seed company
Diamond Jubilee
2015 is a special year for the Seed Co family, as we mark an amazing 75 year journey which has seen us grow from humble beginnings to Africa's largest seed company. We look back from 1940 when the Rhodesia Seed Maize Co-operative Company was formed and trace our life to date, where Zimbabwe Seed Maize Co-op Company Limited has stood the test of time, through various challenges and stand proud of our evolution.
Just like our predecessors, today we continue to ask ourselves the question…Why do we exist as a company? We exist so that we come up with new varieties that farmers can benefit from. These may be varieties inclined towards disease resistance, varieties adaptive to the changing weather patterns and ultimately increased yields. That's always our number one aim, to continually better our seed and make a difference! Over the years, we have maintained a customer oriented focus which has seen us develop seed that is responsive to our farmer needs across all our regional operations...Read more
Our footprint is expanding
In 1997, we established our own operations in Zambia and in the same year acquired a 51% share in the Mozambican seed company, SEMOC (Sementes de Mocambique). In 2000, Seed Co International Limited was formed in Botswana and Seed Co Malawi was established in the same year in order to assist with development in Malawi. In 2001 a joint seed business, Syngenta Seed Co was established in South Africa with Syngenta seeds.
Dominating the seed business in Africa
The group managed to post steady results despite the various challenges. Group turnover grew by 9% to $120m.
Margins remained flat at 45% due to writeoffs of all aged inventories which were reduced in line with Group's quality policy. The balance sheet grew by 6% to $170m...

Pause-melting misalignment: a novel model for the birth and motif indel of tandem repeats in the mitochondrial genome

3 Biology Department, Lawrence University, 711 E. Boldt Way, 54911, Appleton, WI, USA
BMC Genomics 2013, 14:103 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-14-103Published: 15 February 2013
Tandem repeats (TRs) in the mitochondrial (mt) genome control region have been documented in a wide variety of vertebrate species. The mechanism by which repeated tracts originate and undergo duplication and deletion, however, remains unclear.
We analyzed DNA sequences of mt genome TRs (mtTRs) in the ridged-eye flounder (Pleuronichthys cornutus), and characterized DNA sequences of mtTRs from other vertebrates using the data available in GenBank. Tandem repeats are concentrated in the control regions; however, we found approximately 16.6% of the TRs elsewhere in the mt genome. The flounder mtTRs possess three motif types with hypervariable characteristics at the 3′ end of the control region (CR).
Based on our analysis of this larger dataset of mtTR sequences, we propose a novel model of Pause Melting Misalignment (PMM) to describe the birth and motif indel of tandem repeats. PMM is activated during a pause event in mitochondrial replication in which a dynamic competition between the nascent (N) heavy strand and the displaced (D) heavy strand may lead to the melting of the N-strand from the template (T) light strand. When mispairing occurs during rebinding of the N-strand, one or several motifs can be inserted or deleted in both strands during the next round of mt-replication or repair. This model can explain the characteristics of TRs in available vertebrate mt genomes.

A device for controlling the release of retracted haptics on an intraocular lens is described. By controlling the retraction of the haptics, it is possible to obtain a more precise placement of the lens in the eye. The lens is attached to the device by means of sutures, which allows the lens to be safely and conveniently positioned in the eye.
1. A device for implanting intraocular lenses in the eye, comprising syringe means, including a plunger and a piston attached to a forward end of the plunger; intraocular lens holding means secured to a forward end of the syringe means; a harness having a first end attached to said piston and a second end adapted for connection to a haptic of the intraocular lens to transmit tension to the haptic as a function of the location of the piston in the syringe means; and severing means connected for movement with the piston for severing the harness; whereby depression of the plunger causing movement of the piston can be used to control tension applied to the haptic through the harness to decrease retraction of the haptic and release of the plunger can be used to increase retraction of the haptic allowing for control and adjustment of the haptic, and depression of the plunger causing movement of the piston and thereby the severing means through a predetermined distance results in severing of the harness and release of the haptic from the forward end of the syringe means.
2. The device of claim 1, further including a release plunger interposed between the piston and severing means in the syringe means and spring means for biasing the release plunger and thereby the piston and plunger in the direction of increased retraction of the haptic.
3. The device of claim 2, wherein said release plunger has a sharp forward end being said severing means.
4. The device of claim 3, further including control means mounted on the syringe means for controlling the extent of forward travel of the severing means through said predetermined distance.
5. The device of claim 4, wherein said control means includes a clip extending along a forward end body portion of the syringe means, said clip including a protuberance interfitting within a portion of the release plunger of reduced thickness having opposite front and rear end shoulders, the front shoulder limiting retraction of the release plunger in the rearward direction of the syringe means by contact of the protuberance with the front shoulder.
6. The device of claim 5, wherein said clip is mounted in a groove formed in the forward end body portion, a front end of said clip establishing a seat with the forward end of the body portion in contact with the lens, whereby movement of the release plunger and severing means through the predetermined distance causes the rear shoulder to contact the protuberance to lift the clip away from the body portion and enable the lens to release from the seat as the severing means severs the harness.
7. The device of claim 6, wherein said syringe means includes a syringe portion and an instrument portion detachably mounted to a forward end of the syringe portion, said instrument portion defining the forward end body portion.
8. The device of claim 7, wherein said spring means is interposed between a rear end of the release plunger and a forward end of the syringe portion.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 928,500, filed 11/7/86, now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of intraocular lenses. More particularly, this invention relates to a device which is useful in the surgical implantation of artificial lenses to replace the natural crystalline lens of the human eye.
2. Discussion of Related Art
The field of intraocular lenses and associated devices has grown very rapidly over the last decade. Numerous intraocular lens designs have been proposed during this period, during which the art has progressed from relatively crude designs wherein the lens was sutured or otherwise physically attached to the iris to the prsent state of the art wherein the lens is supported in the anterior or posterior chambers independently of any attachment to the iris. Another respect in which the art has progressed is the size of the incision required to insert the lens. Because of improved surgical techniques and associated improvements in lens designs, the incisions typically utilized today are much smaller than those used just a few years ago. There are, of course, other respects in which the art has advanced. Despite such advancements, the surgical replacement of the natural crystalline lens of the eye with an artificial lens still remains a very delicate surgical procedure. Special surgical skills and expertise are required for this procedure. For example, the proper placement of a lens in the eye upon implantation requires an intimate familiarity with the internal anatomy of the eye and the forces which will affect proper placement of lens both during and after implantation. It can be very difficult to reposition a lens once it is placed in the eye. It is also generally difficult to place the lens properly in the eye on the first attempt. In light of these difficulties, there is a great need for a device which will allow the lens to be inserted and properly positioned upon initial insertion into the eye. The present invention is directed to a device which satisfies this need.
Reference is made to the following patents for further teachings regarding the state of the intraocular lens art, particularly the portion of that art relating to devices for use in implanting intraocular lenses:

None of the devices described in these patents satisfy the above-cited need for a device which will facilitate proper insertion of intraocular lenses.
A principal object of the present invention is the provision of a device which will enable the ophthalmic surgeon to control the positioning of an intraocular lens in the eye in a manner such that proper placement of the lens is facilitated.
Another object of the present invention is the provision of an intraocular lens insertion device which is convenient and noncumbersome.
The foregoing objectives and other general objectives of the present invention are achieved by the provision of a device which comprises a means for retracting and releasing the haptics of an intraocular lens in a manner such that the device and a lens attached thereto with its haptics retracted can be easily placed through the incision, and that the lens can then be properly and easily positioned by controlling the retraction of the haptics to allow for proper positioning of the lens prior to releasing the lens from the device and withdrawing the device from the eye.
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal, cross-sectional view of an intraocular lens insertion device according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a top view of the device illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a partial, enlarged, cross-sectional view of the forward end of the device illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a top view of the portion of the device illustrated in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged, cross-sectional view of the forward tip of the device; and
FIG. 6 is a top view of the portion of the device illustrated in FIG. 5, showing in detail the harness arrangement utilized to control the retraction of the haptics on an intraocular lens.
Referring first to FIGS. 1 and 2, it can be seen that the device of the present invention 10 comprises a syringe portion 12 and an instrument portion 14. The syringe portion 12 is a standard hypodermic injection syringe which includes a plunger 16 and a piston 18 attached to the forward end of the plunger. The type of syringe utilized in the present invention is not critical. Disposable, plastic syringes of the type utilized for insulin injections are preferred, due to factors such as cost and availability.
A release plunger 20 is disposed in the forward end of the syringe 12, and extends through an opening 22 at the tip of the syringe into the instrument portion 14, as best shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. A coil spring 24, shown by means of diagonal lines in FIG. 1, is disposed in the forward end of the syringe 12. The spring 24 biases the release plunger 20 toward the rear of the syringe 12.
The instrument portion 14 is attached to the forward end of syringe 12. The instrument portion comprises a cylindrical portion 26 adapted for attachment to the forward end of the syringe 12, a lens holding portion 28 adapted to hold or support the optical portion of an intraocular lens 30, a body portion 31 extending between the cylindrical portion 26 and the lens holding portion 28, and a retaining clip 34 disposed on the upper surface of body portion 31, seated in a groove formed by the sides 32 of the body support portion 31. The retaining clip 34 includes a downwardly projecting protuberance 35. The forward end of the retaining clip 34 and the body portion 31 are penetrated by a common opening or hole 40 near the forward ends thereof. The sides 32 of longitudial support portion 31 are each provided with holes 42.
The forward end 36 of release plunger 20 has a tapered edge 37. The portion of the release plunger located just rearwardly from forward portion 36 is of reduced thickness; this area of reduced thickness is identified by means of reference numeral 44 in FIGS. 3 and 5.
As illustrated in FIGS. 2, 4, 5 and 6, a harness 46 is utilized to retract the haptics 38 of the lens 30 and secure the lens to the device at its forward tip 28. The harness 46 is threaded thru openings 48 in the free ends of the haptics 38. Free ends of the harness are secured to the holes 42 in arm portions 32 of body portion 31. As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 6, the free ends of the harness are secured to a hole 42 on a side of the body portion opposite from the free end of the haptic which is being secured. A generally V-shaped bridle portion 50 of the harness 46 has its midpoint located over the opening 40 in the tongue portion. As shown in FIGS. 2, 5 and 6, the bridle 46 travels through opening 40 and has a separate segment 52 which extends between opening 40 and the piston 18 of syringe 12 where it is secured. The harness will typically be made from sutures, such as those commonly used in surgery. In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawings, a USP size 7- 0 silk suture is utilized for segment 52 of the bridle and a USP size 9-0 silk suture is utilized for the portion of the bridle which is directly attached to the lens. In choosing an appropriate size and type of suture, it should be kept in mind that the suture must be strong enough to restrain the haptics of the lens without breaking, but yet light enough to release easily from the haptics when the bridle is severed by edge 37 of release plunger 20. The operation of the above-described is further described below.
The projection 35 on the lower side of retainer clip 34 interacts with the area of reduced thickness 44 in the forward end of the release plunger to provide the device with the ability to both retract and release the haptics 38 of the lens 30. The extent to which the haptics can be retracted or released is directly related to the length of the area of reduced thickness 44. The haptics cannot be retracted beyond the point at which the rear face 39 of the forward portion 36 of the release plunger 20 is in contact with projection 35. The coil spring 24 located in the syringe will keep the released plunger in this position. As the surgeon depresses the syringe plunger 16, the release plunger 20 is moved forward and tension on harness 46 is relaxed, thereby releasing the haptics. As the surgeon manipulates the lens in an attempt to achieve proper placement in the eye, he or she may adjust the tension on the harness by gradually depressing or releasing pressure on the syringe plunger 16. By depressing the syringe plunger 16 to a point at which projection 35 is in contact with a point 33 on the release plunger of greater thickness, the surgeon can virtually totally release the haptics without releasing the lens from the device. When the syringe plunger 16 is depressed beyond this point two things happen. The sharp edge 37 severs the harness, and the retaining clip 34 is raised upwardly as the projection 35 is contacted by the thicker portion of the release plunger, beginning at point 33. The severing of the harness results in total release of the haptics. The raising of the retaining clip 34 results in release of the lens from its generally hemispherical seat 56 at the tip of body portion 31; this release occurs when the forward end of the retaining clip 34 is elevated to a point at which it leaves contact with the lens. At this point, the implantation is complete, and the instrument is removed from the eye.

The Westin Jekyll Island Breaks Ground
Tuesday May 21st, 2013 - 11:33AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
JEKYLL ISLAND, GA—Adjacent to the new Jekyll Island Convention Center, Westin Jekyll Island, a 200-room, beachfront hotel, which will open in September 2014 as part of the Jekyll Island Beach Village project, recently broke ground. The project is a joint venture, Jekyll Oceanfront Hotel LLC, comprised of Leon N. Weiner & Associates, Inc. and New Castle Hotels & Resorts.
The Beach Village project, developed by the Jekyll Island Authority (JIA), is part of a plan to reinvigorate the island's tourism economy and includes the only beachfront convention center in the southeast. The 128,000-sq.-ft. Jekyll Island Convention Center opened in May 2012 and is the centerpiece of the project, which also includes an oceanfront promenade, village green, restaurants, retail shopping and Great Dunes Park.
"The Westin Jekyll Island is pivotal to the entire Beach Village development," Dave Curtis, managing partner of Jekyll Oceanfront Hotel, LLC, said in a statement. "It's the perfect complement to the wonderful new convention center and the island's relaxed and gracious ambiance."
With ocean views and direct beach access, The Westin Jekyll Island will feature both meeting and banquet facilities alongside a full suite of Westin's signature amenities and services. The property will include a full-service restaurant and the brand's signature Westin Workout program, designed to promote overall wellbeing. LEED design elements, coupled with the brand's room designs which are 60% more sustainable than earlier iterations, will ensure that the hotel will minimize its impact on the environmentally sensitive barrier island and meet guests' desires for a more healthful hotel experience.
Close to the island's National Historic Landmark District, The Westin Jekyll Island also will be convenient to the island's four golf courses, 10 miles of barrier island beaches and a variety of outdoor recreation, including marsh eco-tours, the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, more than 20 miles of bike paths and kayaking.
New Castle Hotels and Resorts will operate the hotel upon completion in September 2014.

LOS ANGELES RIVER ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION FEASIBILITY STUDY EXTERNAL PEER REVIEW - QUALITY CONTROL PLAN The purpose of the Los Angeles River Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility Study in the City of Los Angeles, California, is to determine the feasibility of restoring riparian and aquatic habitat along a 32-mile reach of the Los Angeles River. The river is currently a concrete flood control channel. 1.0 CONTROL AND REVIEW PROCESSES 1.1 External Peer Review of Decision Documents All U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) feasibility-level decision documents requiring authorization by the U.S. Congress must consider External Peer Review in conjunction with the Corps' existing review process in order to comply with the Final Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review issued by the Office of Management and Budget (referred to as the "OMB Bulletin"). External Peer Review will be conducted in special cases where the risk and magnitude of a proposed project are such that an external critical examination is warranted. The decision to conduct an External Peer Review will be a collaborative process involving the District and Division Corps offices and the appropriate Planning Center(s) of Expertise. This External Peer Review should be conducted by appropriate subject matter experts who are external to the Corps and not integrally involved in the production of the technical product under review. Draft peer review plans are currently being developed, coordinated with the appropriate Corps Planning Center of Expertise which may be found at http://www.usace.army.mil/cw/cecw-cp/pcx/plan_cx.html, and posted for public comment. Guidelines for External Peer Review are set forth in the South Pacific Division Memorandum for Peer Review Process of Decision Documents (CESPD-PD-C) , 15 May 2007; Engineering Circular (EC) 1105-2-408: Peer Review of Decision Documents, 31 May 2005; and the Corps of Engineers Directorate of Civil Works Planning and Policy (CECW-P) Memorandum for Peer Review Process (30 March 2007). 1.2 Quality Control and Independent Technical Review of Decision Documents All Corps feasibility-level decision documents requiring authorization by the U.S. Congress will be subject to Quality Control. Quality Control is accomplished through a Quality Control Plan that incorporates Independent Technical Review (ITR), as set forth in the South Pacific Division Quality Management Plan (CESPD) R 1110-1-8, 30 December 2002, and Appendix C of CESPD R 1110-1-8, Quality Management of Planning Products, revised 20 September 2004. The ITR shall consist of Single Discipline Seamless Review (Peer Review) and Multi-discipline Product Review. See CESPD R1110-1-18 for a full description of the requirements for these reviews. Quality Control objectives include confirming that feasibility phase products and analyses: Meet customer (Federal and non-Federal sponsor) requirements; Comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies, and sound technical practices of the disciplines involved; Are of adequate scope and level of detail; Are consistent, logical, accurate, and comprehensive; Are based on convincing and consistent assumptions, especially those related to the probable/most likely with and without-project future conditions; Adequately describe the problems and opportunities, planning objectives and constraints, existing conditions, future without-project conditions, and future with-project conditions to support recommendations; Tell a coherent planning story; and Address outstanding action items from milestone conferences, issue resolution conferences, and other reviews. 1.2.1 Single Discipline Seamless Review (Peer Review) Single Discipline Seamless Review (Peer Review) shall be accomplished prior to the release of study sub-products to other members of the Product Delivery Team or their integration into the overall study. Product Delivery Team members shall consult with their Independent Technical Review team counterparts at appropriate points throughout the project delivery effort to discuss major assumptions and functional decisions, analytical approaches, and major calculations to preclude significant comments from occurring during multi-discipline product review. The Product Delivery Team members should initiate these counterpart discussions. This type of review does not require a formal comment-response-back-check process, as is required during the multi-discipline product review. However, the conclusions/agreements reached will be documented, with copies retained by each participant and distributed to the leaders of the Independent Technical Review team and the project delivery team. This documentation will become part of the project technical review file. Products subject to Seamless Review include (but are not limited to) the following: Topographic Mapping Products Preliminary Mapping Preliminary Designs Geotechnical Boring Analyses Economic Analyses Habitat Evaluation Procedures (HEP) Analysis results Environmental Setting Reports Hazardous, Toxic and Radiological Waste (HTRW) Assessment Historic Properties Survey Report Preliminary Cost Estimates 1.2.2. Multi-discipline product review Multi-discipline product review shall be accomplished prior to the mandatory South Pacific Division milestone conferences, the Feasibility Scoping Meeting (F3) and Alternatives Review Conference (F4); U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Headquarters (HQ) issue resolution conferences, the Alternative Formulation Briefing (F4A) and the Feasibility Review Conference (F7); any other Issue Resolution Conferences (IRCs) held during the feasibility phase; and release of the draft and final documents. These products shall be essentially completed before review is undertaken and the branch and section chiefs shall be responsible for accuracy of the computations through design checks, supervisory review and other internal procedures, prior to Independent Technical Review. Products subject to multi-discipline review include (but are not limited to) the following: F3 Milestone Documentation Main F3 Report Without Project Condition Hydrology and Hydraulics Report Without Project Condition Geotechnical Report Without Project Condition Economics Report F4 Milestone Documentation Main F4 Report Preliminary Draft Environmental Impact Statement/ Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) Preliminary Draft Engineering Appendix Preliminary Draft Economics Appendix Preliminary Draft Real Estate Plan AFB (Alternative Formulation Briefing) Milestone Documentation Main AFB Report Preliminary Draft EIS/EIR Preliminary Draft Engineering Appendix Preliminary Draft Economics Appendix Preliminary Draft Real Estate Plan Draft Feasibility Report and EIS/EIR Draft Feasibility Report Draft EIS/EIR Draft Engineering Appendix Draft Economics Appendix Draft Real Estate Plan Draft Micro-Computer Aided Estimating System (MCACES) Feasibility Review Conference (FRC or F7) Milestone Documentation Required documentation depends on the policy review comments to be resolved. Final Feasibility Report and EIS/EIR Final Feasibility Report Final EIS/EIR Final Engineering Appendix Final Economics Appendix Final Real Estate Plan Final MCACES 1.2.3 Products Developed Under Contract The contractor shall be responsible for quality control through ITR for products developed under contract. ITR of consultant deliverables does not need to be performed by the Corps ITR team. Each contract scope of work shall include specific provisions requiring independent review of contractor work products, including submittal of a quality control plan and full documentation of issue identification and resolution, along with certifications as set forth in Appendix C of CESPD R 1110-1-8. Quality assurance of the contractor's quality control process shall be the responsibility of the ITR team. 2.0 DOCUMENTATION AND CERTIFICATION Conclusions and agreements reached during the ITR process shall be documented per the requirements set forth in CESPD R 1110-1-8. Documentation shall be prepared for all Independent Technical Review efforts (seamless reviews, multi-discipline product reviews, and contractor reviews). The documentation shall become part of the project technical review file. The use of the comment tracking system, Dr. Checks, is mandatory for decision documents requiring Congressional authorization. ITR documentation for pre-conference materials for the IRCs (AFB, FRC, etc.) and the draft and final feasibility reports shall be accompanied by a certification indicating that the ITR process has been completed and that all issues have been resolved. Both the District Commander and the Chief of Planning Branch shall sign the certification for the final feasibility report, following the example included in Appendix I of CESPD R 1110-1- 8. The planning function chief shall certify other submittals and the certification may be included within the transmittal letter for the product and review documentation. Documentation and certification of legal review will accompany reports submitted to Corps Headquarters for policy compliance review. All contractor products shall be accompanied by a certification indicating that an Independent Technical Review process has been completed and that all issues have been resolved. The certification format shall follow the example included in Appendix I of CESPD R 1110-1-8. The Chief of the Hydrology and Hydraulics Branch shall certify the without-project hydrology prior to the F3 milestone. This certification shall be included in the review documentation. The cover memorandum to the MCACES cost estimate that is submitted with a final feasibility report shall include a certification statement by the Chief of Engineering Branch that the estimate has been prepared in accordance with current guidance, that the estimate has undergone an independent technical review and that all issues that may have been identified in the independent technical review have been resolved. 3.0 LOS ANGELES RIVER ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION FEAIBILITY STUDY PRODUCTS TO UNDERGO ITR All products identified in the detailed scopes of work shall be subject to ITR. 4.0 DEVIATIONS FROM THE APPROVED QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN It is not anticipated that any deviations from the approved QMP will occur. 5.0 ITR TEAM ROSTER The ITR team will be established early in the Feasibility Phase and be led by a District other than Los Angeles. The composition of the ITR team may include team members from multiple districts (including districts outside the South Pacific Division), centers of specialized planning expertise, and from other qualified sources such as non-Federal sponsors and other Federal and State agencies. The Vicksburg District, as the National Center of Expertise for ecosystem restoration projects, will be engaged in the ITR process. Similarly, the Walla Walla District, as the proposed National Center of Expertise in cost estimating, will likely be engaged in reviewing the cost estimate portion of the products when appropriate. The anticipated disciplines to be included on the ITR team are shown below: Relevant Experience Discipline Name Organization (yrs & description) Water Resources TBD Planning Environmental TBD Planning/Compliance Biology/Ecology TBD Cultural Resources TBD Economics TBD Hydrology TBD TBD Hydraulic Engineering Geotechnical/HTRW TBD Civil Engineering TBD Cost Engineering TBD GIS TBD 6.0 SCHEDULE Seamless Review shall occur as needed during the Feasibility Phase of the project. In general, multi-discipline product review shall be initiated at least eleven weeks prior to a CESPD mandatory milestone conference (at least seven weeks prior to the F4 conference) and at least two weeks prior to the submission of documentation for a HQ issue resolution conference (such documentation is submitted to HQ at least 30 days prior to the conference date). For the Draft and Final Feasibility Reports, ITR will be initiated at least seven weeks prior to the mailing date. ITR comments shall be due within two weeks of initiating the ITR efforts. Responses to comments shall generally be due within two weeks of final comment submittal. Final back check, documentation, and, if applicable, certification of the ITR shall be due within one week of the resolution of all comments. The feasibility milestone schedule is included in the Los Angeles River Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility Study Project Management Plan. 7.0 COST ESTIMATE Costs for conducting ITR (including the Value Engineering Study) and External Peer Review are included in the detailed scopes of work and in the cost estimate summary table.

TWELVE October
A BMX Racing video by polismedia - 8,909 views
In October's episode you will find small wheels, big wheels, two wheels, four wheels, steering wheels, slicks and knobbies. Stressful atmosphere of latest races mixes up with the mellow at the end of the season.
To the last year's supercross show, the Twelve focuses his lens on the Cote d'Azur. Two hundreds of BMXers, of which hardly believable seventy French, and only one Czech - Michal Prokop - at start of the 1/8 final, after the other Czechs had been trapped in qualification. There is no space for any kind of romance associated with the release of BMX at the Olympics in Beijing. This is a real battle of the legends of the pioneer Downhill BMX times, against a hungry pack of young guns formed into the legions of national teams. The SX in Frejus confirmed that the success of the Czech colors depends on points credited to the only one…
About one long night, fourteen hundreds kilometers, a few cans of Red Bull and ten degrees Celsius less, we find ourselves in front of the Brno exhibition grounds. Himself a living legend, Czech famous moderator Robert Bakalar, performs on the podium four days in line, where as the Apostles on Clock turns celebrities and bikers, politicians, popular faces more or less known. Perhaps only there can be Michal seen on one podium next to famous Czech TV star Ozzák... He only has time a few people to greet, several expositions to visit and to look at a new offer of AGang, freeride bike Ninja, on whose development he participated.
Sibling of the clan Ninja is already waiting in Prokop's kingdom for the last tune before the traditional closing of the season, Marosana 4down. Last few rides under the sun just for fun. No racing ambitions.
The season is over but we are back on the race track! This time with a bunch of mates driving go-karts. Body and mind stressed by hard season, they both have finally right to turn off. Only a few weeks to the beginning of training period for the 2011 season left...

color is NOT as it appears
the color that looks white is actually goldish, the picture looks like fabric is cotton type but its actually like satin... hate this. had decided never to purchase from overstock again but have had a couple friends that have been please with their experience so I did order again and have my fingers crossed that im pleased with it...Read More
Just what I was looking for
This is a very pretty set, got it for guest room. Would not want to put it on a bed that gets used everyday. A little delicate.Read More
I love this comforter set
This set looks so great on the bed ... I ordered another one as a backup!Read More
great deal
I hesitated to order this product due to reviews stating that it was off color and shiny; however, i loved the design and was looking for a comforter that was cream, rust and berry color so decided to give it a try. The comforter is very well made, true to color and elegant although clearly synthetic. Given the bargain price and my satisfaction with the product, I ordered another immediately just to have a back up.Read More
Beautiful comforter!
This comforter is just perfect for my room. The main flower color is more rust than red, (which s just what I wanted) but it does have red accents in the flowers. The bed skirt and European pillow shams are deep red in color. This is definitely a beautiful comforter. It did have a few hanging threads at the end of the stitchings, which I trimmed off. Love it, love it, love it!Read More
Comforter color is actually beige
The comforter in the picture looks white or off white but the one I received was clearly beige. Also, the material was shiny and I didn't like that. It's as if the comforter is made in two different colors and I just received the wrong one but even the picture on the package of the comforter is white like it is on your site. It went back without even taking it out of the package. Due to what seems to be more of an error than just a color difference, I think I should have been reimbursed for the $$$ I had to pay to ship it back.Read More
Somewhat satisfied
Color is completely different than what is shown on picture. Material is a bit flimsy. The spread is a bit more beige than white and the berry colors are copper. I purchased a King set: the dust ruffel and pillow cases are definitely King, however, the comforter itself is too small for the King bed. The color boarder sits in the middle of the bed rather than around the edges as it should, so I eneded up having to put it on my Queen spare bed and it fits fine, but now the pillow cases and other accessories are too large for the Queen. I'm thinking I'm going to have to pack it up and send it back. Shame too, it's pretty, just not at all what I expected.Read More
Very pretty...looks like picture
I have had this set for about 1 month now. I love the colors of the flowers and they are subtle. I can pick window treatments to go with any one of the colors as my room is painted neutral. One of the reasons I bought this is because it can be machined washed if you choose. I have cats that sleep on my bed and to dry clean a comforter often would be costly. The last one I had didn't even look like it had been cleaned. For the cost of this set considering all the pieces that come with it is definitely worth it. I will take my chances going to the laundromat. The only drawback is that the stitching is delicate and trimming threads will need to be done. If you have large animals or young children that ike to play on your bed, you may want to choose something else more sturdy. The feel is soft and the filling is fine...not too thick or thin...has not bunched up in any particular area once I smoothed it on the bed. I removed packing wrinkles for all pieces that would fit in the dryer with steamy balls and that worked very well.Read More
Bed spread didn't match image. Very ordinary.
The set was a different color than what the picture showed. In the picture the flowers look like a richer dark red color with white bed spread that looks like cotton. When received the flowers were more of an orange rust color and the bed spread was a champagne color with a slight sateen feel. This looked rather ordinary than what it appeared in the picture.Read More
Eve 8-piece Comforter Set
Beautiful comforter set. The colors are not quite acurate however, it is beautiful and turned out to be just the colors that I initially wanted but couldn't quite find. I thougt this comforter would be more of cranberry shades judging from the picture but it is really more of the coppers which was my first choice. It is a beautiful set and I am very pleased!Read More

Gophers back from bye, eager to put Iowa in past
"I pushed him a little bit, and I thought he responded OK," Kill said Tuesday, adding: "He took some reps. We even did a little bit with team reps, but still has a little bit of a limp. If we were playing tomorrow, he wouldn't be ready to play, but we'll see how things progress.
That means the Wildcats, who blew a 28-17 lead with 10 minutes left at Penn State last week and suffered their first loss of the season 39-28, ought to be ready for Gray and Max Shortell to play. The Gophers wouldn't hesitate to use both of them.
"If he's full tilt and ready to go, that's good for our football team," Kill said of Gray.
Kill said the extra practice time was good for the team, too. He said he was in a bad mood last week. So the workouts were focused on fundamental skills like blocking and tackling, rather than doing too much analyzing Northwestern.
"It was a good week of practice. Guys were flying around out there. It should be a good benefit for us this week," wide receiver A.J. Barker said.

YOU DON'T HAVE to be an environmentalist to wonder about technology. Will it be our great savior or another thorn in the flesh, another opportunity to hear Thoreau's lament about the tendency of humans to "become the tools of their tools"?
This excellent collection of prayers and worship materials, From the Psalms to the Cloud, helps us understand the tool of technology. It is a very green book while also being useful. It is green because it gives us a way out of the totalitarian world of the market and into a world that we make with words.
Just about everybody is on the other side of the "time famine" and the "trust famine" and deep into digital and connectivity overload. By time famine I mean the pervasive sense that there is not enough time to do what we want, so subjugated is our time to technology, forms, and robotic requests for information. By trust famine I mean all that time we spend worrying about time and wondering if somebody else is in charge. Are we in charge of our tools and our time or are our tools and time in charge of us?
In this optimistic book, the prophets arrive. Mankin and Tirabassi ask the right question: Can a technology devoted to advertising be useful to spirituality? They answer with a careful yes, taking us on the long road from the Psalms to Twitter, by way of "vintage wine in vintage wineskins, uncorked." These two writers gather the wisdom of dozens of beautiful writers of prayers and liturgies and show us a way to go deep digitally. Whether they are praying for energy that will "deeply change all of our clocks," or for the return of the time when churches giving sanctuary for immigrants will become again "dusty places with pews," or in any of John Dannon's exquisite doxologies for the natural and ecclesiastical seasons, or encouraging us to "spend a day saying nothing that doesn't need saying." The prayer topics move through addiction to pregnancy to a ritual for quitting a job. What a great ask this is for those confused or overdone with technology: We pray "for a trap door when we hit rock bottom."
Because this is a book of piety and prayer, it contrasts well to the multiple volumes of doom on the shelves. Contrast it to C.A. Bowers' The False Promises of the Digital Revolution, which argues that there is nothing culturally neutral about technology. It reinforces our sense of progress as a cultural value, which is ecologically dangerous, especially if repeated around the world as though it was right for everyone to over-consume. Bowers also laments that technology substitutes data for ancient forms of wisdom. From the Psalms to the Cloudis a wisdom book about technology, helping to challenge the culture of data.
Nothing can be as green as worshipping. We move off the road of consumption into another time and space. Nothing can be as green as technology, which keeps us out of our cars and connected virtually. Putting worshipping and technology together, carefully, is a great idea. Adding the theological training course is a mighty work. Thank you, authors: You deeply encourage me on the road to prayer. I am less the tool of my tools after reading your wisdom.
Donna Schaper is senior minister of Judson Memorial Church in New York City.

Water system won top honors
WATER SYSTEM LAUDED: The Bonita Springs Water System (now Bonita Springs Utilities) was in the news 30 years ago this week, winning the title of best Class B water treatment in the South Florida District.
Superintendent Glenn Van Riper said a plaque was going to be presented to the water department at an upcoming banquet.
In other news, Van Riper eased fears that a chlorine leak was a slim possibility in Bonita Springs, due to tight security at the East Terry Street plant. Chlorine had been in the news that year because of a train derailment that caused a chemical spill.
BEACH BATTLE: A Bonita Springs man was continuing his fight to get property north of the Bonita Beach Club into Lee County jurisdiction. The new shoreline, which had built up north of the condominiums, ended up in the hands of Beach Club owners, who built tennis courts on the site.
Bill McLaughlin of Bonita Beach believed the strip should belong to the county and planned a special meeting of the Democratic Club of Bonita Springs to discuss the issue.
"We want (the commissioners) to go to the law and find out whose land it is,'' said Irv Glucksman, a Democratic Club member.
FATAL WRECKS: A Bonita Springs woman was killed that week when the truck she was riding in collided with a train at the railroad crossing on West Terry Street. Stanley Wayne Hildereth, 35, was driving the truck when the wreck occurred. Killed was Josie L. Daughtry, a longtime resident.
In Estero, the two-lane section of U.S. 41 claimed another life, just a week after residents picketed state and federal officials to expedite the widening of that stretch of highway. Ralph Bailey, 56, of Tahiti Mobile Village, was killed when his car was reported to have veered over the center line, hitting two cars heading in the opposite direction.
"All three vehicles were destroyed by the crash, which was the second bad accident within three days on the two-laned section of U.S. 41,'' The Banner reported. "Earlier in the week, a beer truck plunged through the guardrail of the bridge over the Estero River after striking the rear of another car.''
The 4.4-mile section of 41 through Estero was the final stretch of the highway awaiting widening. The delay stemmed from federal regulations prohibiting highway projects being built too close to historic sites, such as the Koreshan settlement. Southwest Florida lawmakers were seeking a waiver of the rule in hopes of getting the road widened along its existing alignment.
READERS WROTE: Letters to the editor were written by Tom Reahard and Perry Rankin.
Reahard vented about the teen center that had been under construction for several years. "The teenagers who started will most likely have their own teenagers … if and when it becomes a reality,'' wrote Reahard.
Rankin sounded off about river access that had been closed off on Imperial Shores Boulevard.
"Bonita people are neglected,'' Rankin wrote. "The county gives us a ball field to keep us quiet, but we needs roads, boat ramps an beach improvements.''
