Microsoft's Connector bus program for full-time employees in the Seattle, Washington area not only has been hit with the employees that use it, but it's helped improve the environmental impact of the region. Launched in September 24, 2007, the Connector consists of a fleet 48 buses that cover 24 different routes, and over 13,000 employees have ridden the Connector since the program launched. The buses are equipped with Wi-Fi for employees to get a head start on their day's work or check the Internet while commuting in comfort.
From an environmental perspective, the Connector provides a convenient alternative to single occupancy vehicle (SOV) commutes for employees, which are often one hour to and from Microsoft's campus in Redmond, Washington. Of the 13,000 employees who have used the Connector, over 5,600 employees were driving alone before using the service. Since its inception, the Connector has helped remove over 18 million employee car miles from Seattle area roadways, and our CO2 calculations estimate over 17 million lbs of CO2 emissions from vehicles saved. The Connector serves as a great example for Microsoft of an operational decision that has had strong environmental benefits for the surrounding region.
Congratulations. I am so proud of what you do for the environment. Well done. Oh and by the way, I love Windows 7
Any chance that non-MS employees can pay money to buy a seat on the Connector? :P I work right across the street from MS main campus and would love to ride one of those buses as they are more direct than public transportation :P If not a purchased ticket, I'd work 10 hours/week as an A- onboard the bus ;-)
I'm a vendor that has to be on campus every weekday. I live in Kent and would be willing to pay Orca rates to use Connector. Will this feature be added to the program anytime soon?
I was just driving on 520 at 730 pm and bus number 905 was weaving and flashing his brights and tailgating every driver. There was moderate traffic but it was going the speed limit. There was no need for this offensive and irresponsible and dangerous behavior. He almost took my bumper off trying to get around a car going the speed limit. This should not be allowed especially when you are representing a company like Microsoft.
I'm wondering what the effect has been on county bus ridership. I often see large metro buses go by with few passengers. Also, has there been any future plan to partner with the county to provide service to ALL the people in the Microsoft campus area?

RICHMOND -- Appalachian Power Co. would suspend an interim rate charge it began collecting in December if the General Assembly passes emergency legislation proposed Wednesday.
The proposal outlined before a state legislative commission represents a compromise by Appalachian after hearing from Southwest Virginia lawmakers who have been besieged with constituent complaints about skyrocketing electric bills. Several legislators have responded to the complaints by filing bills intended to limit Appalachian's ability to increase rates.
INDEPENDENCE ee* An Independence woman was killed Wednesday afternoon after her vehicle was struck on U.S. 58.
Virginia State Trooper Jerry Sowers said in his accident report that Darlous Exura Jones, 74, pulled out of a driveway onto 58 around 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Jones' vehicle was struck by a 1995 GMC Jimmy, driven by Martha Elizabeth Funk, 55, of Troutdale.
According to the report, Funk was traveling west on 58 when the two vehicles collided, sending both off the left side of the road and through a fence.
HILLSVILLE — A Memorial Day flea market vendor locked proverbial horns with Virginia authorities over the sale of animal parts and ended up paying the price in court, according to Carroll's commonwealth's attorney.
A Department of Game and Inland Fisheries special agent, Jay Dowdy, launched an investigation of a Galliopis, Ohio, man named Barry L. Williams after receiving a tip the vendor had sold antlers in Hillsville in the fall of 2008, Commonwealth's Attorney Greg Goad reports.
Dowdy obtained a cell phone number and called the suspect.
A nearly $30,000 drop in this year's fiscal budget at the Galax Police Department could mean leaving positions unfilled, cutting programs or even cutting staff — a last resort — if state budget cuts continue to reduce aid to the department, said Galax Police Chief Rick Clark.
ROANOKE — He was 38. She was 15.
Their relationship started in cyberspace but quickly turned physical.
Dewey Edward Nelson, a Hillsville man who used the name "Jolly Rancha" on MySpace, was held up by federal prosecutors Thursday as a warning about the dangers of the online world.
"Take this issue seriously," Tim Heaphy, U.S. attorney for the Western
District of Virginia, urged parents in a press conference held immediately after a federal court hearing in which Nelson was sentenced to 13 years in prison.
Grant money has been awarded to help offset recent losses to area beekeepers and help expand local hives.
Bernie Bradley of Elk Creek, president of the Mountain Empire Beekeepers Association, said $125,000 in Virginia Tobacco Commission grant money has been awarded to assist Southwest Virginia Region beekeepers.
Last year, the commission gave the association $24,000, but Bradley said that money was gone in 10 days.
It was with sadness that we learned last week that the "EAR"resistable animal rescue organization in Grayson County was about to close because of a lack of funding.
In its brief life, the non-profit group provided a humane alternative to the animal shelter, saving the lives of dozens of animals that were neglected, abused, abandoned or from families that no longer had the means to care for them.
The operation soon realized that it, too, was being abandoned by donors who, in this dog of an economy, were no longer able to help.
Any Galax High School football fan hoping to see a wisp of white smoke wafting from the chimney at 223 Long Street any time soon should be patient.
HILLSVILLE -- Carroll County trailed Marion by as many as 17 points before reeling in the Scarlet Hurricane with a minute to go, but the comeback lost steam and the Cavaliers were handed a 72-67 defeat in a Southwest District game Thursday.
MAX MEADOWS -- Galax crowned 11 individual champions and breezed to the team title Thursday at the Mountain Empire District wrestling tournament at Fort Chiswell High School. Junior Espinoza got the championship ball rolling for the Maroon Tide with a technical fall victory over Fort Chiswell's Kyle Goad at 103 pounds.

The University of Illinois at Chicago Institute for Minority Health Research will manage a National Institutes of Health project to follow up, over the next six years, all Chicago participants in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinosthe largest-ever prospective health study of this population.
The NIH contract to be managed by UIC is for up to $15.3 million.
"The Hispanic/Latino population is growing faster than any other minority group in the U.S., and to better serve their health needs, we need to know where they stand as a wholethis study lets us see that big picture," says Dr. Martha Daviglus, director of the UIC Institute for Minority Health Research and principal investigator of the Chicago field center.
The multi-center, prospective, population-based study includes more than 16,400 Hispanic/Latino adults between the ages of 18 and 74. Participants are of diverse backgroundsincluding Cuban, Dominican, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Central American, and South Americanand have been recruited from four U.S. communities.
The first phase of the study, from 2008 through 2012, collected baseline health data on participants.
In the second phase, researchers will reexamine the participants and collect data on chronic diseases that are prevalent in Hispanics/Latinos, including heart disease, diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and gestational diabetes.
The second examination will include assessment of cardiovascular risk factors, echocardiography, and blood and urine tests. Participants will complete a questionnaire on demographic, sociocultural, and lifestyle factors. Genetic information will be analyzed to determine if health and disease findings can be linked to specific gene variants.
The original study revealed a startling burden of risk among the Hispanic/Latino population.
"We found that 80 percent of men and 71 percent of women have at least one adverse risk

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Sunday marked the first time Bob Montgomery saw Ryan Lavarnway up close and in person. Studying the Pawtucket Red Sox catcher from the television booth in the press box located high above McCoy Stadium, Montgomery made good use of the monitor adjacent to him, particularly when tracking LavarnwayŌĆÖs mitt motion as he received the ball from the pitcher.
According to Montgomery, someone who spent all 10 of his major-league seasons with the Red Sox (1970-79), the way Lavarnway frames pitches makes it that much harder for the home plate umpire to make an accurate call. Using his hand to demonstrate LavarnwayŌĆÖs receivership, Montgomery made clear that it falls on the catcher to give the umpire the best and most optimum view.
ŌĆ£Some guys will tell you that if the umpire sees the palm of the glove, the ball is too low. ThatŌĆÖs something I never bought into,ŌĆØ said the 68-year-old Montgomery. ŌĆ£If he sees more of the glove, heŌĆÖs seeing less of the ball.ŌĆØ
Montgomery added that Lavarnway isnŌĆÖt the first backstop to go palm out with the glove when corralling breaking pitches in the dirt. In fact, one may argue that the slight flaw in LavarnwayŌĆÖs repertoire places him in exclusive company.
ŌĆ£Carlton Fisk never caught the ball (palm in),ŌĆØ said Montgomery, who served as the Hall of FamerŌĆÖs primary backup while the pair were teammates in Boston.
Montgomery understands that there are some growing pains to be expected when referencing someone in LavarnwayŌĆÖs position. The first half of the 2012 season saw the 24-year-old become entrusted as PawtucketŌĆÖs primary catcher after years of splitting reps with a fellow prospect.
ŌĆ£Those things, heŌĆÖll learn with time,ŌĆØ said Montgomery. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs never caught on a regular basis.ŌĆØ
Typically, most managers adhere to the practice of giving the catcher the day off whenever a day game follows a night game. Granted, a large part of the reason why Lavarnway strapped on the gear Sunday afternoon after logging nine innings the previous night had to due with the presence of Clay Buchholz, yet it shows just how much faith the BoSox have in the prospect.
ŌĆ£If youŌĆÖre the guy everyone is talking about, you have to play every day. That was probably the only thing he didnŌĆÖt have checked off on his r├®sum├®,ŌĆØ stated Red Sox minor-league catching coordinator Chad Epperson last month. ŌĆ£Now that heŌĆÖs been able to get that chance and show that he can do it, I think heŌĆÖs padded the r├®sum├®.ŌĆØ
Not looking too far ahead, but itŌĆÖs not out of the realm of possibility to see PawSox manager Arnie Beyeler giving Lavarnway ŌĆō tied for second in the International League in on-base percentage (.401) and third in batting average (.310) ŌĆō Thursday off after playing the previous night in the Triple-A All-Star game in Buffalo. This Thursday also marks another PawSox game shown on NESN with Montgomery once again providing the commentary.
Sticking with catching, Montgomery was asked to weigh in about BostonŌĆÖs Jarrod SaltalamacchiaŌĆÖs job performance during the first half.
ŌĆ£I think (the Red Sox) have always thought of him as a pretty good hitting catcher, and heŌĆÖs certainly proven that,ŌĆØ said Montgomery, making reference to the career-best 17 home runs Saltalamacchia carried into the break. ŌĆ£They donŌĆÖt make a lot of offensive catchers.ŌĆØ
Montgomery then pointed to the 10 base runners Saltalamacchia has thrown out in 49 chances. For comparisonŌĆÖs sake, backup Kelly Shoppach has gunned down seven would-be base stealers in 16 opportunities.
ŌĆ£(Saltalamacchia) works with a staff that doesnŌĆÖt do a good job of holding runners on,ŌĆØ said Montgomery. ŌĆ£Pitchers have to help the catcher a little bit in being able to throw some guys out.ŌĆØ
As Junichi Tazawa mowed down the Syracuse Chiefs in the ninth inning Sunday, some unexpected numbers graced the pitch speed gun at McCoy. The Japanese righty touched 95 miles per hour on several occasions, a far cry from where he was pre-Tommy John surgery ŌĆō which Tazawa underwent in April 2010 ŌĆō and even at the beginning of the season when he was throwing in 91-92 range.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs tough to find 94-95 (mph), but heŌĆÖs doing so with consistent command,ŌĆØ notes PawSox pitching coach Rich Sauveur.
The increase in velocity is also reflective in the 53 strikeouts Tazawa has recorded in 41 1/3 innings. His 24 appearances are third-most among PawSox relievers and is one of eight Pawtucket pitchers to record at least one save.
Close your eyes and imagine the following lineup for the PawSox: Will Middlebrooks at third base, Jose Iglesias at shortstop, Pedro Ciriaco at second base, Lars Anderson at first base with Nate Spears as the backup. Behind the plate would be Lavarnway with Daniel Nava in left field, Ryan Kalish in center and a platoon of Alex Hassan/Jason Repko in right. Oh, donŌĆÖt forget Mauro Gomez at DH.
As one PawSox employee noted recently, ŌĆ£Can you imagine if we had all these guys together? The fans certainly think about it!ŌĆØ
If thereŌĆÖs a consolation prize in what has become a season of poaching by the big-league club, itŌĆÖs that the PawSox stand to benefit from a stream of rehabbers. The star power will be out beginning Thursday when Carl Crawford makes an appearance with Dustin Pedroia and Andrew Bailey to follow thereafter.

More of our Hottie of the Month Emma Stone in the pages of September's Teen Vogue, looking sweet as usual. Not the sexiest of photo shoots to be sure, but these pics do demonstrate how well she wears that red hair of hers. I don't understand how she isn't a natural ginger. It just suits her so well. Her complexion is perfectly in line with what one typically sees of the carrot-headed. She's even got freckles. These are not the kinds of features you expect to find in your average natural blond. There's something seriously amiss here.

Crying in the chapel
"Americans aren't happy, they're just trained to look as if they are … It's fake orgasm on a grand scale." (Lucy Ellmann writing a review of Barbara Ehrenreich's book "Smile or Die".)
And that's a little bit how it works in advertising.
As one media agency boss said to me recently, the day-to-day job for most agencies is "fragile optimism".
Agency people are required to be resolutely gung-ho and glass-half-full-let's-order-another-glass-anyway –ﺡ even if this proves a disjoint with the client's mood.
Sales figures static ? Ach, never mind. Still or sparkling ?
CEO asking how effective last year's campaign was ? Here, have some meaningless tracking figures and a biscuit.
But. In a world in which marketing directors have a tenure on average of two years, it occurs to me that clients may find the implacably placatory grins of the agency folk a little hard to take sometimes.
Given the stress suffered on both sides, I just wonder if a little more honesty might actually work better ?
Also, the relentless optimismﺡ can be tiring to maintain.
I thought of this the other day when I was in one agency toilet and I heard what I'm convinced was soft sobbing coming from the next door cubicle. Of course, it may have been that the occupant had just won a gold medal in the coxless pairs .
In what is now known as the ﻗsobbing Olympicsﻗ.
And, truth be told, people are blubbing in toilets in companies all over the country.
In schools or prisons, toilets can be dangerous places but in many modern businesses, they're the only place of refuge. In an open-plan, glass-meeting-room world, where if your boss isn't staring at you he's scanning your emails, the loo is a rare sanctuary.
By the bottles of Domestos I sat down and wept.
But of course if you're in adland, there are always reasons to wet the Andrex.
Particularly if youﻗre a creative.
I went to a discussion about the IPA Excellence Diploma recently, and there was a very strong feeling thatﺡ creative talent was being marginalised in our industry.
In many agencies these days,ﺡ the creatives feel as welcome as a loud fart in a meditation class.
But as I've said before, agenciesﻗ true raison d'etre is to provide creativity.
It can feel like a pretty wrinkled and dried-up raisonﺡ these days.
As Martin Boase said about BMP back in the 1980s, the structure and role of the agency was to "protect the creative department".
I believe that was also the view of David Abbott, the creative founder of Britain's most successful ad agency for the last 20 years – AMV.
The Man U of agencies, as I think of them. (In two important and linked respects – they're usually at the top of the table, and they're atypically loyal to their ﻗmanagerﻗ.)
I'd never been into the place before but last week I went to talk to Ian Pearman the CEO about Decoded – and it felt like a pretty good place to be. I know I'm normally critical of big agencies, but AMV felt funky and friendly.
(And Iﺡ like their new Sainsbury's ad about the Paralympics.)
Incidentally, AMV wasn't the agency with the blubber in the bogs.
For the record, I didn't go to the toilet in AMV, so I have no idea if the inhabitants there are sobbing or dancing on the seats.
But surely the key to a great agency is to integrate and respect your creative people.
Involve them and they might answer the brief in a good way.
Respect them and they might produce some magic for you.
So here's my creative tip for this blog.
Just ask this question of any ideaﺡ –ﺡ ﺡ is this shareable ?
That's pretty much all you need to ask.
Not just because that's the free medium of word of mouth.
But also because real people genuinely want that commodity. They need to update their status in an interesting way and frankly pictures of their dog playing football or their kid's birthday party aren't going to get passed around very far.
To make yourself interesting on social media, you need to pass around interesting stuff. A cool clip, a banging bit of music, an eye-opening picture.
And that's what we've got to provide.
Hint: it's the creatives who can help you do that.
On that note, and apropos of virtually nothing, here's a 45-minute-long but stunning piece of film showing George Galloway taking on the US congress. It's one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen.
By the end of it, a small bunch of Americans are looking a little less happy than usual.

The difference, of course, is that the Yellow Pages never told businesses they could pay extra to get rid of someone else's ad.
By offering this service, Yelp has introduced a more cutthroat approach to marketing, with itself as the broker for whose pitch is seen first by users of the site.
When I checked out the Yelp listing for Fonger's shop, an ad for a rival jewelry store appeared near the top of the page, undermining the influence of the nine five-star reviews that had been posted by customers.
Sollitto said he was surprised that Fonger likened the company's practices to extortion. He said Yelp is "all about connecting local businesses and consumers."
I asked how offering businesses a chance to pay a monthly fee for erasing a rival's ad was different from websites that post people's mug shots from arrests and then charge a fee to take them down.
Sollitto seemed offended that I'd even make such a comparison.
"Yelp has created a platform for sharing information," he said. "It's a discovery engine for small businesses."
And maybe he believes that. The reality, however, is that Yelp has created an online venue at which a merchant's competitors can post negative reviews and run their own ads.
Yelp then makes money by charging to downplay others' negative reviews and to keep rivals' ads away.
You know the old chestnut about succeeding in business by finding a need and filling it? Yelp succeeds by making a problem and then taking people's money to solve it.
This strikes me as an unfair business practice. But, so far, Yelp has weathered various lawsuits challenging its policies. "Their claims keep getting dismissed for lack of any fact-based evidence," Sollitto wrote last year on Yelp's blog.
I'm no lawyer, but I know a racket when I see one. Anybody who calls to say that you now have a problem but that they can make that problem go away for $75 a month isn't your friend.
Dean, the marketing consultant, said that Yelp is a fact of life for small businesses and that challenging the company's policies is going to be "a fight you're not going to win."
Instead, he advised companies to focus on Google and other online resources, and not lose sleep over any shenanigans Yelp might pull.
That's probably wise. But it doesn't excuse bad business behavior.
I asked Fonger how Yelp's tactics differed from, say, Tony Soprano's or Michael Corleone's.
"Well," he answered, "no one's come by to break my legs."
Then he thought about it a moment. "At least not yet."

Smelting and refining charges and metal deductions decreased to 9% of gross revenue in 2010 compared to 17% of gross revenue in 2009. Average smelting charges for doré in 2010 were US$0.43 per equivalent silver ounce whereas for concentrates they were US$3.58 per equivalent silver ounce.Generated Net Revenue (excluding smelting & refining changes) of $40.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $18.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of $21.7 million or 118%.Recognized Mine Operating Earnings of $61.2 million for 2010 compared to $18.5 million for 2009, an increase of 231%. The increase was attributed to an increase in sales volume from 4.2 million ounces of silver equivalent in 2009 to 7.0 million ounces of silver equivalent in 2010, combined with an increase in sales revenue per ounce from $16.89 (US$14.79) in 2009 to $20.39 (US$19.79) in 2010.Recognized Mine Operating Earnings of $23.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $8.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of $15.8 million or 195%.Earned cash flows from operations of $58.4 million or $0.62 per share (a non-GAAP measure) for 2010 compared to $6.7 million or $0.08 per share for 2009, an increase of 771%.The Company generated net income of $36.1 million for 2010 compared to net income of $6.3 million, for 2009.The Company generated basic earnings per common share ("EPS") after current tax provision (a non-GAAP measure) of $0.50 for 2010. EPS for 2010 after current and future taxes was $0.39, compared to EPS of $0.08 for 2009. As the new La Encantada plant was not in commercial production until April 1, 2010, under Canadian GAAP, revenues and production costs are offset against the carrying value of the assets rather than being recorded as income up to the date the plant achieves commercial production. If the revenues and expenses of the new plant were recorded as income rather than capital, then earnings would have been adjusted upwards in 2010 for the $2.3 million of capitalized net profits resulting in $0.42 per share basic EPS, or $0.53 excluding the future income tax provision (non-GAAP measures).Net income after taxes was $13.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of $11.4 million or 459%.Increased production from 4,337,103 silver equivalent ounces in 2009 to 7,024,056 silver equivalent ounces in 2010, an increase of 62%.Increased production from 1,249,568 silver equivalent ounces in the fourth quarter of 2009 to 1,827,987 silver equivalent ounces in the fourth quarter of 2010, an increase of 46%.Direct Cash Costs per ounce of silver (a non-GAAP measure) for 2010 increased to US$5.85 per ounce of silver, compared to US$5.61 per ounce of silver for 2009 due to an appreciation of the Mexican Peso relative to the US dollar and inflationary pressures. Direct Cash Costs per ounce of silver for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased to US$6.50 per ounce of silver, compared to US$5.69 per ounce of silver for the fourth quarter of 2009 due to a 6% appreciation in the value of the Mexican Peso relative to the US dollar and other increased costs due to inflationary pressures.Total Cash Costs per ounce (a non-GAAP measure) was reduced by 6% to US$7.94 in 2010 from US$8.49 in 2009 due to a reduction in smelting and refining costs associated with higher doré production at the La Encantada mine.Total Cash Costs per ounce for the fourth quarter of 2010 was reduced by 5% to US$8.16 compared to US$8.61 in the fourth quarter of 2009.Cash and cash equivalents compared to 2009 increased by $35.1 million to $40.9 million and improved working capital by $43.3 million to $48.1 million.Repaid all of the Company's debt facilities with cash flows from mining operations to reduce interest expense.The new cyanidation process plant at the La Encantada Silver Mine achieved commercial production effective April 1, 2010 and reached full production capacity of 3,750 tonnes per day ("tpd") by the end of the year. With the expansion of the La Encantada, production at the mine increased from 1.44 million ounces of silver equivalent in 2009 to 4.0 million ounces of silver equivalent in 2010. 2011 PRODUCTION OUTLOOKThe Company would like to provide the following forward-looking estimates regarding its production outlook for 2011. Production in 2011 is expected to increase by 13% from 2010 levels as the 3,750 tpd La Encantada mill experiences a full year of commercial production and the expansion currently underway at La Parrilla is anticipated to begin to ramp up in the third quarter from 850 tpd to 1,600 tpd by year end.Estimated production on a mine-by-mine basis for 2011, and associated anticipated operating costs are included in the following table. These figures are based on existing installed capacity at the Company's operations in the La Encantada and the San Martin mines, and increasing capacities at the La Parrilla mine for the second half of 2011. Pricing assumptions for equivalent silver production from gold, lead and zinc are provided below the table.ANTICIPATED OPERATING PARAMETERSLa EncantadaLa ParrillaSan Martin2011 OutlookTotal Tonnes Processed1,144,125346,032252,4501,742,607Ag ounces from production 4,414,133 1,947,047 1,153,887 7,515,067 Ag Equivalent Ounces (Au, Pb, Zn) - 332,200 81,533 413,733 Total Equivalent Ounces Production*4,414,1332,279,2471,235,4207,928,800Ag Grade (g/t) Flotation - 246 - 246 Ag Recovery % Flotation - 80% - 80% Ag Grade (g/t) Cyanidation 200 193 178 196 Ag Recovery % Cyanidation 60% 70% 80% 64% Lead Concentrate (tonnes) - 7,815 - 7,815 Zinc Concentrate (tonnes) - 1,922 - 1,922 Total Cash Costs$6.64$7.44$8.47$7.09Direct Mining Cost per Silver Ounce$6.09$7.05$8.63$6.73Direct Mining Cost per Equivalent Silver Ounce$6.09$6.02$8.06$6.38Direct Mining Cost per tonne$23.51$39.66$39.46$29.03*Assumptions:Operating Days 339 331 330 Price of Silver $22.00/oz., Gold $1,300/oz., Lead $1.00/Lb., Zinc $1.00/Lb.IN SUMMARYFirst Majestic has experienced a breakout year in 2010 due to the overlapping effect of a 72% increase in silver production and a 34% increase in average silver prices compared to 2009. Further silver price increases and an anticipated production increase in 2011 bode well for continued earnings growth and robust cash flows for fiscal 2011."This past year has clearly been a watershed year for First Majestic, and we're continuing to push aggressively forward in expanding our silver production into 2011 and beyond. I would like to extend my personal thanks and appreciation to all of our employees, managers, and our board of directors for everyone's support in working together in achieving such a fantastic year. We are proud of our growth and our ability to continue growing each and every year since founding this company. We will continue to focus on an aggressive growth strategy combined with minimizing costs as we move First Majestic toward becoming a senior silver producer," commented Keith Neumeyer, President and CEO of First Majestic. First Majestic is a producing silver company focused on silver production in México and is aggressively pursuing its business plan of becoming a senior silver producer through the development of its existing mineral property assets and the pursuit through acquisition of additional mineral assets which contribute to the Company achieving its aggressive corporate growth objectives.FIRST MAJESTIC SILVER CORP.Keith Neumeyer, President & CEOSPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATIONThis news release includes certain "Forward-Looking Statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities laws.

Bridged the gap? What the hell does that mean? Valve has accomplished animators from Pixar and a dedicated team for SFM content, they eat storyboards for breakfast. Get out of here!
That is a rather biased comment, friend.
I saw your comment about FlameOmega and I found it kind of amusing, I didn't think he'd be that type of person but it's really no shock to me. Almost 80% of the weapon animators that came from the source modding community seem to share the common trait of having an ego complex or something bizarre like that, I know what it's like myself as I used to animate weapons.
I'm glad you guys are still going at it despite the hardships. Those screenshots look amazing.
those kicks look pretty slow giving it not so much of an impact imo with the exception of that finishing kick.
April fools everybody, April fools.
God bless.
I don't suppose you need an animator for your upcoming project do you :)?
Very cool, sweet new weapon models, glad to see you guys are still making progress!
Dude what the ****, That is the most ridiculous thing I've had the chance to read. Cryengine does not suck just because demotivated developers with wild ambitions give up on their project.
Switching to Cryengine was the best course of action for the mod not only because Source engine does not support the advanced and large STALKER like world that they hope to achieve but because they had to start from ground zero when Jlea's hard drive crashed. Now the project is kicking even better than before with content being made and implemented quickly as well as not having to put up with Source's gimmicks.
Face it, Source is aging and way too primitive to work with, it puts off so many great artists just because of all the quirks it takes just to get a simple model and texture in the game while furthermore there are so many bugs and problems that one may face due to how unstable the engine is *All of this is being said from experience, mainly the 2-3 years that Jlea has been working on the project as a source mod.*
If you truly appreciated the project you wouldn't be upset, You'd be happy that they were able to take this giant step forward with a chance to actually accomplish such a grand scale project.
Raindrop is the one that started over, Ivan's Secrets has already made more content than it used to have.....
Raindrop is a case of them not making up their minds on what engine they want to use, Ivan's Secrets has been making progress and they've been posting videos on their youtube channel, furthermore the switch to cryengine 3 supports the stalker-esque world they're aiming for.
I am 100% sure that the hands are from CSS, they're just reskinned with an abysmal texture that doesn't fit ontop of models/releases from gamebanana, I hope you're giving the appropriate credit where it's due otherwise I might label you as a thief due to the past incident where you completely copied off an old hud base from Ivan's Secrets.
Rather strange how you said there was no point in reanimating the weapons yet you're doing it anyway.
When did stating an opinion which could also be used as potential criticism become trolling? I hate people that are so quick to defend when they think every game made is absolutely perfect and has no flaws.
Can I animate it?
nmrih blowz
That doesn't mean you shouldn't be adding some visual flare to it.
Yes because when someone is criticizing something and you don't agree with his opinion he MUST be trolling, they're ALL trolling you.
PS: you should try and figure out what the actual definition of trolling is instead making yourself look like an idiot getting all defensive because you don't agree with someone.
I remember messaging you guys more than a year ago saying I wanted to animate the mod, hah, good times right? *gives you an extremely depressive look followed by a long sigh*
He's grabbing a magazine from his vest which is a resistance outfit, the reload animation is about 45 frames, I had to fit everything to fit the really small framelimits of HL2 so it doesn't interfere with the existing gameplay/reloading times since they're really quick which is why it seems awkward. These animations are also really old and may possibly be tweaked.
Good job stealing concept art from Operation Black Mesa.
You ******, You stole this from Operation Black Mesa.
Is The Rising really dead? That'd be a a huge shame really and a complete waste of resources, I feel as if my leg is being pulled here.
git back to working on the game instead of advertising for facebook likes :(((((
Because it doesn't really bring anything new to the table, it's really generic, there's no direction in the level design and the quality of all the assets/maps are mediocre at best though this is kind of the tip of the iceberg.
Of course most of the people on moddb has low standards and will probably whiteknight something they think they like starting by downvoting my comment because you can't really deny the fact that it's true whilst being entirely my opinion this mod could have been way better.

stupid jlea used the actual fire anim for the dryfire what a big nerd
Now that was just one hell of a low blow, unnecessary and uncalled for. Saying something is bad is also counter-constructive when you should just point out the rights/wrongs to make everybody's lives easier and on the road to making something better.
Lastly, most of my work for this mod was really old and placeholder and the makarov was not animated by me.

Debris Removal
PA ID# 057-99057-00; Hillsborough County
PW ID# 2390, 2395, 2397; Debris Removal
Hillsborough County
Debris Removal, Project Worksheets 2390, 2395, 2397
Citation: FEMA-1561-DR-FL; Hillsborough County (Applicant)
Cross - Cost Overruns, Debris Removal, Debris Monitoring,
Reference Hand-loaded Trucks
Summary: As a result of severe debris from Hurricane Jeanne in Hillsborough County, FEMA prepared Project Worksheets (PW) 2390, 2395, and 2397 for debris removal, transport, and processing. The Applicant completed the debris removal, transport, and processing but appealed determinations by FEMA inspectors that some trucks were filled below capacity and reductions of 50 percent were taken for hand-loaded vehicles. The Applicant requested a first appeal of the debris quantities and debris removal from public property on March 29, 2007. In a letter dated February 27, 2008, FEMA granted $229,257 for the removal of debris from private property because it was a threat to public health and safety, but upheld its disallowance of $941,728 for reduced load capacity associated with hand- loaded vehicles and tower monitor inspection of trucks.
The Applicant submitted its second appeal May 20, 2008. The Applicant requested additional quantities for debris removal in this submission not previously identified. The Applicant submitted a letter of clarification on June 26, 2009, with additional information, but did not refute the issues in question for the second appeal.
Issues: 1. Did the applicant provide information to verify that the truck load capacities were full and the deductions taken for hand-loaded vehicles were incorrect?
2. Are additional debris amounts eligible for reimbursement if not included in the PWs or submitted as an appeal in accordance with 44 CFR 206.206?
Findings: 1. No.
2. No.
Rationale: 44 CFR §206.206 Appeals; Disaster Specific Guidance (DSG) Memo Number 14, Debris Load Rating of Hand-Loaded Trucks and Trailers, dated October 14, 2004; FEMA RR Policy 9523.12, Debris Operations – Hand-Loaded Trucks and Trailers, dated May 1, 2006; FEMA RR Fact Sheet 9580.203, Debris Monitoring, dated May 3, 2007; FEMA 325, Debris Management Guide, dated July 2007.

By any unit of measure, Solange is a successful pop star. Well, unless you measure her against big sister Beyonce. Solange seems to have figured out early on that there's no way to beat Queen Bey at her own game, so she's made a name for herself by being completely true to her quirky self–and we love her for it.

Christians are more aware than ever of problems concerning injustice. How are we to respond? Can one person make a difference? The Bible's teachings are just as valid–and radical–today as they were centuries ago. They instruct us to live as lights in the darkness, and they reveal the true source of our hope for the world.

Slurry Cleanup Continues
It may be a week before all the evidence of Tuesday's coal slurry spill is gone, although crews have been making progress with the cleanup. The slurry spilled in Fields Creek and DEP Cabinet Secretary Randy Huffman said the spill did impact the Kanawha River. While the cleanup is happening, state mine inspectors have shut down Patriot Coal's Kanawha Eagle Prep Plant near Winifrede. Huffman says the slurry contains heavy metals and other toxins, but not Crude MCHM, which is what spilled at the Freedom Industries Plant January 9th.
Settlement Closed After Upper Big Branch Mine Explosion
Alpha Natural Resources says federal prosecutors have closed a $210 million settlement stemming from a West Virginia mine explosion that killed 29 workers in 2010. Under the settlement, Bristol, Va.-based Alpha would face no criminal charges in the Upper Big Branch explosion as long as it abided by the agreement's terms. The agreement required Alpha to compensate the miners' families, bankroll cutting-edge safety improvements and pay for years of violations by the mine's former owner, Massey Energy. Alpha executive vice president and general counsel Vaughn Groves says in a news release that the company has met or exceeded its obligations.
New Bill Protecting Water Supply Clears Another Hurdle
A legislative committee unanimously passed an amended bill Wednesday that proposes new regulations for above-ground storage tanks following last month's chemical spill. The latest version of the bill passed by the House health committee would require annual inspections for tanks like the one at Freedom Industries that leaked chemicals January 9th. The proposal also requires public water systems to have plans in place to protect their water from spills, and react quickly when they occur. The bill has two more House committee stops. The Senate already passed its own version.
Raleigh County Road Reopens
The state Division of Highways has reopened a section of road that had been closed for weeks because of a rock fall The section of West Virginia Route 3 in the Raleigh County area of Sundial has been closed since late December because of fallen rocks, according to a news release from the DOH. It's slow going though, and speeds are reduced to 15 mph until the road can be repaved this spring. But the hillside has been stabilized, and the repairs have been made to ensure it's safe for motorists.
Clendenin Firefighter Will Be Laid To Rest Today
Funeral services are happening today for a Clendenin Firefighter who passed away last weekend in a car accident. Volunteer firefighter Lt. Nathan Smith's funeral will be held at 2 p.m. today at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Elkview. Smith was a 13-year veteran of the Clendenin Fire Department.
Coal Slurry Leak Impacts River
A coal slurry leak in Eastern Kanawha County is not expected to impact water supplies. The West Virgina Department of Environmental Protection has been investigating the slurry line rupture, which impacted Fields Creek, and that flows into the Kanawha River. West Virginia American Water released a statement saying its Kanawha Valley Water Treatment Plant would not be affected, and there are reports that the leak has since stopped. The Dept. of Environmental Protection says the Kanawha River was impacted, but exactly how much will take more fact-finding.
Bill Passed To Fill Board Vacancies
The West Virginia Senate has unanimously passed a bill to ensure vacancies on higher education commissions, councils and boards are filled in a timely manner. Some vacancies on these higher education boards have been left empty for as long as six months in the past, and right now there are 15 people serving on boards whose terms are expired. This Senate Bill 426 went into effect Monday and gives the governor 30 days to appoint a member to fill any vacancy. The bill also prevents members whose terms have expired from serving more than 60 days after their term ends.
Audit of Ag Department Uncovers Problems
A legislative audit of the West Virginia Department of Agriculture has uncovered poor record keeping, questionable reimbursements and other issues with a loan program that may have cost the state hundreds of thousands of dollars during the tenure of former Agriculture Commissioner Gus Douglass, according to findings released this week. The audit was requested by Agriculture Commissioner Walt Helmick shortly after he took office in 2013. The report also said poor record keeping made it impossible to track the accuracy of a $4 million outstanding balance in the Rural Rehabilitation Loan program. In a news release Monday, Helmick said many of the audit recommendations have already been addressed and the department is working to ensure full departmental compliance with policies and guidelines.
Winter Storm Interrupts Travel in the Southeast
Yeager Airport has cancelled several flights scheduled for today connecting Charleston with both Charlotte and Atlanta becuase of the winter storm that's impacting much of the southeastern US. Several flights out of Huntington have also been canceled. Call ahead and check with your airline to make sure the flight is still on.
Trial Continues For A Man Who May Be Connected To Another Case
The trial continues today for a man accused of terrorizing a woman. 44-year old Joey Jeffrey is accused of beating stabbing, and torturing Leanne Quinn, and prosecutors say Jeffrey thought Quinn had stolen drugs and other items from him when it happened fourteen months ago. Quinn testified Monday she was doing drugs with Jeffrey and another woman and the torture started after that. Jeffrey is also considered a person of interested in another missing persons case. Melanie Metheny has been missing for almost eight years and the case is still unsolved. The trial continues today, and if convicted, prosecutors are aiming for life in prison.

Pet Emergency Preparedness
When Disaster Strikes
It can't be stressed enough: When disaster strikes is not the time to try to prepare.
Do yourself and those you love a favor. PREPARE NOW so you'll be ready when an emergency situation happens. The time you save is critical. And very well may save lives.
In a study by the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute at the University of South Carolina, it's estimated that 91 percent of people living in the United States are in places that have a "moderate-to-high risk" of hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, wildfires, volcanoes, high-wind damage, flooding, or terrorism.
Almost half the population — more than 130 million Americans — reside in the path of future hurricanes. Earthquakes aren't limited to West Coast, either. Potential earthquake areas cover 39 states, affecting more than 75 million people.
One of the lessons that rescuers learned with the tragedy of hurricane Katrina was that many people would rather take their chances facing a disaster than leave their pets. Unfortunately, this decision cost many lives.
Why wait until it's too late? Plan to protect your loved ones now.
Because of various laws, Red Cross shelters are not allowed to take in animals during an evacuation, so advanced planning is a must. Start by contacting your vet or local animal shelter to find out what facilities in your area provide shelter for pets. Boarding kennels, hotels, and especially friends and relatives outside of your area would be good places to start.
In any case, plan for the worst. Plan now for efficiency so when local or state officials announce plans to evacuate your area, you don't waste precious time trying to prepare. Don't assume that you'll be able to return to your home in a matter of hours or days. Plan for weeks. You never know. Listen to and follow the instructions of local officials.
In the case of an emergency, you may not have a great deal of advanced warning. For pet emergency preparedness, here are some things you can do:
- Have an emergency kit for you and your pet stored in a location that is easy to access, such as by an exit door or garage. Your pet disaster preparedness kit should include the following items:
- Food and water for at least three days in airtight, waterproof containers
- Medical records and emergency contact numbers in a clean plastic bag or waterproof container
- Your pet's medications
- Pet first-aid kit that include cotton bandage rolls, bandage tape and scissors, antibiotic ointment, flea and tick prevention, latex gloves, isopropyl alcohol and saline solution. You should be familiar with all of the items in the kit and know how to use them. (A pet first-aid book might also be beneficial).
- A pet carrier or crate should also be readily available in an emergency. Be sure to have readily available a litter box, litter, newspaper, paper towels, plastic bags and household bleach.
- In case you become separated from your pet, a photo of your pet will help other identify the pet they are looking for.
- Favorite toys, treats, familiar bedding and other items will help your pet handle the disruption of the normal routine.
- Pet ID tags that list pertinent information, such as your name and telephone number, are crucial so rescuers can more quickly reunite you with your pet if you become separated. Your cell phone number and/or the number of where you're planning to go is a good idea to be able to track you down quicker should you and your pet become separated. Also, list contact information on your pet's carrier.
- More and more people microchip or tattoo their pets as a means of more permanent identification. Some microchips are about the size of a grain of rice and are implanted in a pet's shoulder area. Special scanners are used at animal shelters and pet hospitals to read the identity of your pet.
- When disaster looms, bring pets inside so they won't become fearful and run away.
- Don't forget to make arrangements to board your pet in a kennel, friend or relative's house, or pet-friendly accommodation outside of the affected area as far in advance as possible.
Special Care for Birds, Reptiles and Small Animals
- Transport birds in a sturdy carrier or travel cage.
- Try to avoid areas of excessive noise.
- Make sure you have leg bands that properly identify your pet bird. Photos will also help to identify it should your pet become separated from you.
- Birds need to eat on a regular schedule. If you don't already have a timed bird feeder, consider purchasing one to ensure proper feeding in the event you have to be away from your bird for long periods of time.
In cold weather
- To reduce stress and keep your bird comfortable in cold weather, cover your pet's cage with a cage cover or small blanket, allowing some ventilation for breathing.
In warm weather
- A spray bottle is useful to keep your bird's feathers moistened occasionally.
Here is some other useful information for traveling with birds.
- Snakes can travel in a cloth bag or pillowcase but need their own secure cage when you get to your destination.
- A large bowl is a good idea to enable your pet snake to soak in.
- A heating pad or hot water bottle can make your pet snake more comfortable.
- Lizards can be transported much like birds.
Small Animals
- Many small animals can be transported in their cages as long as they are comfortable with dry bedding and have food and water.

Q. Hi PetRelocation,
I need to fly my dog to Maine but I can't afford to spend $600 or more on the "IATA #82" reinforced crate plus the flight cost. Is there a place I can rent the crate for this one way flight?
I bought a plastic flight crate and have been told by United airlines that I need a reinforced pet crate for the flight. I do not have the funds to buy the crate and the flight ticket. I need some suggestions.
He is not an aggressive dog.
