Natural resources of Ireland
The primary natural resources of Ireland include natural gas, petroleum, peat, copper, lead, dolomite, barite, limestone, gypsum, silver and some zinc. Key industries based on these and other natural resources include fishing, foresting, mining, livestock, and other forms of agriculture and fish farming.
Peat has been Ireland's staple fuel for centuries and still provides about 12% of the island's energy needs. Bord na Móna ("Peat Board") extracts more than 4 million tonnes of peat annually.[citation needed]
Ireland's experience with state-sponsored renewable energy projects stretches back to 1925, and the Ardnacrusha project. Other new and renewable energy projects include other hydroelectric, solar, and wind power initiatives. One of the country's first wind farms was created in 1992 at Bellacorick in County Mayo.

|This section requires expansion with: examples of economic importance and impact of natural resources (with relevant citations). (November 2007)
Farming (including livestock rearing, dairy products, cereals, potatoes), is a key economic contributor. Agriculture remains an important economic factor in Ireland. In 2004, the Republic of Ireland exported approximately €7.15 billion worth of agri-food and drink (about 8.4% of its exports), mainly as cattle, beef, and dairy products, and mainly to the United Kingdom (including Northern Ireland).[1] Agriculture products consist of turnips, barley, potatoes, sugar beets, wheat, beef, and dairy products.
Primary raw material industries include: steel, lead, zinc, silver, aluminium, barite, and gypsum mining processing. Although heavy industry centres around key cities such as Belfast, Dublin, Cork, and other important port cities. Machinery and equipment manufacturing, food processing, and textile and electronics manufacturing are the leading industries of Ireland. Among those are also included paper making, furniture manufacturing, and shipbuilding. Northern Ireland is historically noted for its linen manufacture.
For many years, Ireland has been noted for being one of the best fishing destinations in Europe.[2] Ireland is an island nation that has extensive fishing grounds in its territorial seas and waters, part of which are protected from overfishing by the Irish Conservation Box.
In addition, Ireland has almost 14,000 kilometres of rivers that bear fish, along with numerous lakes. The freshwater lakes of the country provide an area of 357,000 square kilometres, providing a habitat for considerable fish life. (County Cavan alone boasts some 365 lakes.)
Some of the native species are char, eel, Brown trout, perch, pike, pollan, and roach. Ireland's mild climate is favourable for fishing. The North Atlantic Drift warms the waters off the islands on the west coast so that the channels support both warm and cold water fish. In total, there are 64 types of fish and shellfish off the coast of Ireland. These include: Basking Shark, Blue Shark, Butterfish, Cod, Common Dogfish, common skate, Conger Eel, Greater Pipefish, Greater Sandeel, Mackerel, Lesser Sandeel, Lesser Weever, Lumpsucker, Pike, Plaice, Porbeagle Shark, Rainbow Trout, Roach, Tench, Tompot blenny, Tope.
Ireland's mining companies include the Anglo American plc, Arcon International Resources plc, Boliden Mineral AB, Conroy Diamonds and Gold P.l.c., Hereward Ventures plc, Mino Mining & Metals Corporation, Minco plc, and Strongbow Resources Ltd.[3]
- The Anglo-American plc is a mining and natural resources company. It is interested in significant and important gold, platinum, diamonds, coal, base and ferrous metals, industrial minerals and forest products.[4]
- Arcon is an Irish registered mineral and mining exploration organisation. It manages the Galmoy Zinc Mine, carrying out foregoing mineral exploration activities.[5] Galmoy is now run by the Swedish owned company Lundin.
- New Boliden is a mining and smelting company with operations in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Ireland. Boliden's main minerals are copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver. They have more than 4,500 employees globally, and a turnover of approximately EUR 2 billion annually.[6]
- Conroy Diamonds and Gold was established in 1995 to exploit the discovery of the Galmoy Ore deposits – now in production as a major zinc mine. Its current activities are on a geological structure known as the Longford-Down Massif.[7]
- Hereward Ventures plc is focused on the exploration of gold in Bulgaria, and base-land minerals in Ireland.[8]
- Minco Mining & Metals Corporation engages in the acquisition, search and development of base and precious metal properties.[9]
- Minco plc, which is an active zinc explorer, focusing on Pallas Green in Limerick where excavation shows some zinc mineralisation.[10]
Shell and the Corrib Gas Field[edit]
The Corrib gas project (Irish: Tionscanamh Ghás Aiceanta na Coiribe.) entails the extraction of a natural gas deposit off the northwest coast of Ireland. The project includes a development of the Corrib gas field, and constructions of the natural gas pipeline and a gas processing plant. The project has attracted considerable opposition.
The deepwater exploration licence No. 2/93 covering four blocks in the Slyne Trough was granted on 1 January 1993 for a period of 11 years to Enterprise Oil and its partners Saga Petroleum Ireland Limited, Statoil Exploration (Ireland) Limited, and Marathon International Petroleum Hibernia Limited. The licence was issued under the licensing terms for offshore oil and gas exploration and development 1992.[11] The Corrib natural gas field was discovered in 1996. It was the first reported commercial natural gas discovery in Ireland since the Kinsale Head gas field was discovered in 1973.[12] The first appraisal well was drilled in 1997.[13] A number of consents and approvals to develop the Corrib Project were issued in 2001.[14]
In 2002, Enterprise Oil was acquired by Royal Dutch Shell who took over the operatorship of the project. Development of the project began in 2004, but it was delayed in 2005 when locals opposed the project.[13] Shell announced the suspension of the project to facilitate further discussions with opposing parties. For a year, independent safety reviews were conducted to address various safety concerns in relation to the project.
In 1999, Saga Petroleum became a part of Norsk Hydro and in 2007 a part of Statoil. In July 2009, Vermilion Energy acquired Marathon Oil's stake in the project.[15]
Royal Dutch Shell proposed to develop the Corrib field as a sub-sea production facility with onshore processing. This method of development is claimed by Shell to be in line with best industry practice for gas fields of this type. The project includes development of offshore operations including the wells and subsea facilities, construction of offshore and onshore pipelines, and construction of onshore processing plant at Bellanaboy.[16]
Gas field[edit]
The Corrib gas field is located about 83 kilometres (52 mi) off Erris Head in County Mayo in an area known as the Slyne Trough in water depths of 355 metres (1,165 ft).[16] The gas is originating from Triassic Sandstone reservoir 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) below the seabed. Reserves in the field are believed to be about 1 trillion cubic feet (28×109 m3), 70% the volume of the Kinsale field.[14] The natural gas in the Corrib Gas Field is a very pure form of gas, consisting of approximately 97% methane and ethane.[17] The Corrib gas does not contain hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide makes up only 0.3% of the total amount of gas.
The subsea production system is delivered by ABB. Production at the gas field will be remotely controlled from the Bellanaboy Bridge terminal. There are five production wells at the Corrib field drilled by Transocean Sedco 711 semi-submersible drilling rig. When in operation, each well is planned to have a so-called "christmas tree" structure above it that contains all control and monitoring equipment. Flexible individual flowlines will run from each well to a production manifold which will feed the gas into the main pipeline.[12] There is no production platform installed in the field.
The pipeline from the Corrib field to the landfall at Glengad is planned to be approximately 83 kilometres (52 mi) in length.[16] The pipeline has a diameter of 20 inches (510 mm) and it will operate at pressures of 90–110 bars (9,000–11,000 kPa).[12] Work on the offshore section occurred in summer 2009 and involved over 7,000 lengths of pipe being welded together on board the Solitaire pipelaying vessel.[18] The onshore pipeline is still in the proposal phase but is expected to be some 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) in length and run from landfall to the drying plant.
Processing plant[edit]
Gas will be processed at the processing plant 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) inland near Bellanaboy Bridge. The purpose of the plant is to dry the gas and remove impurities. The plant has a capacity of 10 million standard cubic metres of purified gas per day. Processed gas will be fed to the Bord Gáis gas grid.[16]
The piping for the Onshore Processing Plant is manufactured by Phoenix Pipes Limited in Slane Co.Meath.
Shell E&P Ireland is the operator of the project. The company holds 45% of equity. Other partners are Statoil Exploration (Ireland) Limited (36.5%), and the Vermilion Energy Trust (18.5% of equity).[13]
Some opponents of the scheme cite concerns about the health, safety and environmental impact of the onshore aspects of the project. Others are concerned with alleged irregularities and precedents surrounding the project. Many groups, most notably the Rossport Five and Shell to Sea campaigns, oppose the current plans for the project, which they regard as dangerous despite assurances from Shell.[19] A contrary position is taken by the group Pro Gas Mayo – a group that holds no public meetings and has only three members.[20] It is not known who funds this group.[21]
The upstream high pressure gas pipeline that will connect the wells to the inland processing site is planned to run through the area of Rossport, close to local residences. A report by Dr. Richard Kupriewicz concluded that "the terrain makes escape routes for the clustered population essentially impossible in the event of a [pipeline] rupture".
Discharges from drying process[edit]
Broadhaven Bay is the proposed area to discharge toxic waste from the refining process. Due to the bay's circular tidal pattern and semi-enclosed nature this toxic waste is more likely to stay within the bay rather than be washed out to sea.[citation needed]
Alleged violation of due process[edit]
Planning permission was initially refused by Senior Planning Inspector Kevin Moore, of An Bord Pleanála (the Irish planning authority). His report stated in part: "[I]t is my submission that the proposed development of a large gas processing terminal at this rural, scenic, and unserviced area on a bogland hill some 8 kilometres inland from the Mayo coastland landfall location, with all its site development works difficulties, public safety concerns, adverse visual, ecological, and traffic impacts, and a range of other significant environmental impacts, defies any rational understanding of the term "sustainability"." In November 2009, An Bord Pleanála ordered Shell to redesign the pipeline and move its route away from homes saying it posed an "unacceptable risk".
Claims of a tax yield of some €1.7 billion over the life of the field have been made by the Irish government based on data about the field's size and 2008 gas prices.[22] Up to 2007, the Irish Petroleum Licensing Terms imposed a flat 25% income tax on gas production revenues. In August 2007, the top rate of tax on the most profitable fields was increased to 40%.[23][24] The new licensing terms called for changes to the tax imposed based upon fields ' profit ratios (equal to the rate of profit less 25% divided by the accumulated level of capital investment). Where this ratio is greater than 4.5, an additional 15% tax was imposed, where it is between 3.0 and 4.5 an additional 10% was imposed and where the profit ratio is between 1.5 and 3.0, and additional 5% tax was added. However, opponents of the project claim that a new tax regime should apply, given Ireland's current economic difficulties. Additionally, they cite the poor contribution that the project, as presently constituted, gives to the Irish economy – a mere 55 permanment jobs.[25]
Further Oil Finds[edit]
An Irish oil exploration company called Providence Resources announced in July 2012 that it had discovered between 1 billion and 1.6 billion barrels of oil at the Barryroe oil well, which is situated 70 km from the coast of County Cork.[26] Providence revised the amount of oil obtainable to 280 million barrels later on in the year, but the revenue from the oil could still run into the billions of euro.[27]
Legislation affecting natural resource management[edit]
|This section may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (November 2007)
Wildlife Act of 1976[edit]
The Wildlife act of 1976 was an act that would protect certain wildlife (including game) and flora. Under its terms, the "Wildlife Advisory Council" was also established – known officially in the Irish language as "An Chomhairle Fhiadhulra". The functions of this body included the establishment and maintenance of reserves and refuges for wildlife, the ongoing protection of breeding grounds, herd management, migration, etc. It would also make certain provisions relating to land, inland waters and the territorial waters of the state.[28]
This act was followed by the "Wildlife Advisory Council Order" on 13 March 1978, the "Wildlife Act, 1976 (Protection of Wild Animals) Regulations" on 10 September 1980, the "Wildlife Act, 1976 (Acquisition of Land) Regulations" on 6 February 1978, and others.
The Act has been amended several times, first by the "European Communities (Wildlife Act, 1976) (Amendment) Regulations, 1985", which sought to manage, conserve, and protect birds. The second amendment was the "European Communities (Wildlife Act, 1976) (Amendment) Regulations, 1986", which added the control of species of wild bird which may cause damage or injury to specified interests. The most recent was the "Wildlife (Amendment) Act, 2000 (Act No. 38 of 2000)", which provided statutory protection for Natural Heritage Areas as well as legislation relating to the management and conservation of forests, including the hunting and capture of birds in protected forests.
Forestry Act of 1988[edit]
The Forestry Act of 13 July 1988, would make provisions for the enlargement of forestry in the state, and provided the establishment of a company – later named Coillte Teoranta – which would be mandated with the management of state owned forests, and with providing grant aid to commercial and privately owned forest farming and planted woodland.[29] It was amended on 15 August 2000.
Sea Pollution Act of 1991[edit]
Originally constituted on 11 August 1959, the Sea Pollution Act:
- set out to prevent the pollution of the sea by oil and other substances; it gave effect to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships;
- would give effect to the Protocol concerning intervention on the high seas in cases of pollution by substances other than oil (Intervention Protocol);
- provided for the repeal of the Oil Pollution of the Sea Acts, 1956 to 1977; and
- provided for other matters related.[30]
Also included was the maintenance of marine pollution (also with shipped based sources), oil pollution, and waste water.
Protection of the Environment Act of 2003[edit]
The Protection of the Environment act of 14 July 2003, was enacted to provide for the Execution of Directive 96/61/EC (dated 24 September 1996) of the Council of the European Communities concerning integrated pollution prevention and control and certain other acts adopted by the institutions of the EU. It also amended the Environmental Protection Agency Act of 1992 and the Waste Management Act of 1996, the Litter Pollution Act 1997 and to provide for foregoing matters.[10]
It basically sought to prevent water pollution and protect land and soil quality. The act came from Environmental Protection Agency Act, 1992. of 1996, Waste Management Act, 1996. on 20 May 1996, Planning And Development Act, 2000 (Act No. 30 of 2000). on 28 August 2000, European Communities (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Amendment) Regulations, 1994. on 13 April 1994.
Fishery (Amendment) Act of 2002[edit]
The Fishery (amendment) Act of 2002, sought to modify and extend the Fisheries (Amendment) Act of 1997; to confirm fees payable to the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources in respect of certain fish culture and aquaculture licenses and for relative purposes.[31] It was originally dated as 27 November 2001.
Fishery (amendment) Act of 2003[edit]
A more detailed act followed in 2003, and sought to support the United Nations Agreement on the Implementation of the Provisions of the United Nations Convention on The Law of The Sea on 10 December 1982. This relates to the Conservation and Management of straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks; to provide for an independent appeals system in relative to the licensing of sea-fishing boats, to amend and extend the Foreshore Act of 1933, the Fisheries Acts 1959 to 2001 and the Merchant Shipping (Certification of Seamen) Act of 1979, and to provide for foregoing matters.[32]

per the Texas newspaper..the star telegram
"Griffey Jr. to retire a Red
While many teams, including the Rangers, could benefit from the offense provided by aging outfielder Ken Griffey Jr., he isn't going anywhere. The oft-injured Reds player has a no-trade clause and has made it clear that he wants to remain in Cincinnati. The Reds have also made it clear they don't plan to rebuild. They recently picked up a $13 million option on free-swinging outfielder Adam Dunn. Griffey, a Cincinnati native, would like to end his career in his hometown."
I love this.. I also feel this off-season will be a huge one for the Reds and the hiring of Baker sends a message, losing isnt accepted and I am encouraged.. Its nice to know one team in this town has a owner willing to bring its fans a winner (not like the scam artisit Mike Brown). I am anxious for the winter meetings!!

County's Three biggest school districts
By area (Clark County totals 629 square miles)
• Battle Ground: 271 square miles (43 percent of county)
• Vancouver: 58 square miles (9.22 percent of county)

By student population

• Vancouver: 22,744 students
• Battle Ground: 12,809 students
Imagine being the sole administrator responsible for 825 middle school students plus staff. That was Linda Allen's reality the last time Battle Ground had a double-levy failure in 2006-2007.
Allen was the principal at Lewisville Middle School, and as a result of the levy failure, the assistant principals and counselors had been cut. Student meltdowns -- not an uncommon occurrence for students of that age -- were handled by Allen or by teachers during their prep time.
Now the district's director of human resources, Allen spoke recently about how a double-levy failure impacts students, teachers and staff.
"It was incredibly difficult," Allen said. "Anything we did extra in terms of instruction and curriculum before the levy failure came off the plate."
In less than two weeks, voters in the Battle Ground School District will determine what next year's school year will look like for the district's 12,809 students.
On February 12, Battle Ground was the only district of 41 across the state that failed to approve its maintenance and operations levy. The levy garnered only 46.54 percent approval. It requires a simple majority, 50 percent plus one, to pass. The current levy expires at the end of this year.
District officials have prepared a no-levy budget to determine which programs and staffing will be cut if the levy fails again on April 23. Right off the top of next school year's budget, $16.4 million would be cut. That's more than 13 percent of the district's current annual operating budget of $120.8 million.
"We're looking at 20 to 25 percent cuts to classified staff and comparable cuts to certificated staff," said Mary Beth Lynn, the district's assistant superintendent, finance and operations.
In the no-levy scenario, the district plans to cut between 150 and 160 certificated staff. That includes 90 to 95 classroom teachers in addition to teacher-librarians, middle school counselors and reading interventionists at the middle school. Also on the chopping block are school nurses. Other scheduled cuts are academic enrichment programs -- such as Advanced Placement classes at the high school level, technology upgrades, middle school art and music support and after-school activities in middle and high schools.
"We don't know the impact on our student numbers if we can't offer AP classes," said Marcia Christian, the district's assistant superintendent, human resources.
Perhaps more Battle Ground students would enter the Running Start program at Clark College. Some advanced students would leave to a neighboring district that offers Advanced Placement courses for college credit, Christian said. No one has a crystal ball that can predict how many students would leave the district if the levy fails again.
Levy equalization
If the levy doesn't pass on April 23, the district also will lose levy equalization money, which currently is $6.1 million annually, and $4.4 million in levy equalization money in 2014.
Levy equalization is money the state gives to property-poor school districts that approve levies. The Battle Ground school district qualifies as property poor because it has little industry, no large shopping malls and no large office complexes. These kinds of properties bring in more property tax than the same amount of residential land. In property-rich districts with ample industry, retail and office space, residential property owners don't carry so much of the property tax burden.
The difference in taxable property is evident even within Clark County. While Battle Ground is seeking a levy of $4.49 per $1,000 assessed value in 2014, or $898 for a home valued at $200,000, the levy in Vancouver Public Schools for 2014 is $3.85 per $1,000, or $770 for a home valued at $200,000. At Evergreen Public Schools, the 2014 levy amount is $4.42 per $1,000, or $884 for a house valued at $200,000.
Largest district
By student enrollment numbers, Battle Ground is the third-largest district in the county, with roughly half of the student enrollment in Evergreen or Vancouver districts. But it's by far the largest school district in the county, geographically speaking. It sprawls across 271 square miles, 43 percent of Clark County's total geographic area. The district reaches to the county's northern boundary with Cowlitz County beyond Amboy and Chelatchie Prairie to the district's southern boundary near the Costco on 84th Street and Andresen near the Vancouver city limits.
Every school day, district buses log 10,170 miles taking students to and from school. This doesn't count field trips, athletic events, band trips or any extracurricular busing. The district spends 6 percent of its budget on busing. That's twice the percentage that the Ridgefield, La Center and Vancouver districts pay for transportation. The district receives about 40 percent of its busing money from the levy.
According to contracts, all personnel who are going to be cut from next school year's budget have to be notified by May 15. That's only three weeks after the April 23 levy.

Look out, Tom Dempsey, Jason Elam and Sebastian Janikowski. Your 63-yard boots are no match for Austin Pacheco's 64-yarder. Pacheco, a kicker for Carson High School in Nevada, drilled a 64-yard field goal on Saturday, which is longer than the current NFL record of 63 yards. The amazing, game-winning kick came with 27 seconds left in Carson's 27-24 victory over Bishop Monague High School, reports the Nevada Appeal. "I'm still in shock," said Pacheco, who said his coach told him before the game that he'd have a chance at anything 65 yards and under. "I knew it was good as...

Life is a garden, dig it!
My entire life revolves around keeping fit and and staying active, though this has not always been the case. There have been times in my life where the routine becomes disrupted and exercising simply fades into the shadows. Months, sometimes years pass before I see a glimpse of myself and decide a way to get back in shape. So I really owe the past year to the guys on Jersey Shore. For years, I avoided watching this reality show but when it showed up on Netflix I was instantly hooked. These guys showed me how to be a dude again providing me the motivation to get back in the gym. Thanks Ronnie!!! That's the funny thing about life, every now and then we lose sight of what is important. And that is why I am here. Maintaining a deep and meaningful relationship is a important part of life and that's what I want, something meaningful. I'm looking for someone who smiles and is genuinely a good person, someone who radiates kindness. That is it, that's my qualifier, just a nice person. If you're interested in contacting me, look for me on okc, same handle.

Linux 2.6.25 without Closed Source USB Drivers
A controversial patch for the imminent kernel 2.6.25 is causing much debate in the developer community: in a similar move to one he made two years ago, the well-known kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman has submitted a patch that prevents closed source USB drivers from using the kernel's USB driver API.
Kroah-Hartman's patch has already been accepted by Linus Torvalds, and it will be part of the Git tree for the next version of Linux. It prevents closed source USB drivers from addressing the kernel's USB interface.
Originally, there were plans to introduce this barrier to the 2.6.16 kernel, but at the time vendors such as AVM GmbH protested, saying that they would cancel Linux support completely if they were not allowed to submit closed source drivers. As a result, the patch was temporarily parked to give vendors time to develop Open Source drivers, or convert their drivers to use the userspace API. The latter option gives vendors the ability to create non-GPLd drivers that will run on other systems without incommensurate effort.
Just like two years ago, the patch has been the source of much debate on the kernel mailing list. While some developers are backing Kroah-Hartman, others do not understand the move and fear that it will scare vendors off. Others see non GPL-compliant drivers in a kind of legal limbo.
The case is quite clear for Kroah-Hartman, however: the obstacle would not cause any issues as he is unaware of any USB drivers in the Wild that the patch would actually affect. Developer Christer Weinigel objects that many closed source USB drivers are the results of bespoke programming and are thus not available in the Wild. Kroah-Hartman's answer to this is that the userspace interface would be fine for drivers of this kind, and that even military users have successfully tapped this API. Kroah-Hartman has been quoted as saying that tanks run on Linux. Developer Pekka Enberg refers developers who insist on the kernel interface to another system, saying they should use BSD or a proprietary operating system.

'Mortal Kombat Legacy' Season 2 comes spring 2013
Can Tran
Dec 4, 2012 in
It has been announced that the second season of the web series "Mortal Kombat Legacy" will be available around the second quarter of 2013.
Back in the latter half of the 1990s, the second live action "Mortal Kombat" movie called "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation." The movie loosely gave the accounts of what happened in "Mortal Kombat 3" disregarding the events of "Mortal Kombat II." Even after Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, the game series continued on with "Mortal Kombat 4" up until "Mortal Kombat: Armageddon." Then, there was the recent reboot of the Mortal Kombat series with the same storyline from the first three Mortal Kombat games but with very different outcomes. In that respect, there were no more Mortal Kombat movies.
However, there was this teaser trailer by
Kevin Tancharoen
. It seemed to be a prelude to a new Mortal Kombat movie or a reboot of the film series. However, it turned out to be a proposal for a new Mortal Kombat movie; but, it didn't have the supernatural or science-fiction elements of the game series. It was known as "Mortal Kombat Rebirth" where everything takes place in the fictitious Deacon City. However, a movie didn't get made; but, an online mini-series was made. The episodes were uploaded onto YouTube through Machinima. This web series was called "
Mortat Kombat Legacy
." Currently, all the mini-episodes have all been put together as a full-length film that's available on DVD and Blu-Ray.
While it was announced that season 2 of Mortal Kombat Legacy was in the making; but, there wasn't a definite date. Now, season 2 of Mortal Kombat Legacy returns in the
second quarter of 2013
during the spring season. That means Mortal Kombat fans, especially fans of Mortal Kombat Legacy, can see season two between March and April. Season 1, followed the same round of "Heroes," as each episode focused on one or a group of major characters. Tancharoen, who was tapped to head the MK Legacy series, said that Season 2 will focus on the tournament itself. He serves as the director, screenwriter, and producer for the series.
According to a press release, Tancharoen said that the first clip of season 2 will be shown during the
Steamy Awards
on February 17. It is revealed that there have been some cast changes. Matt Mullins, who played Johnny Cage from the first season, will be replaced by veteran actor
Casper Van Dien
who worked in notable films and shows such as "Starship Troopers," "Monk," "Sleepy Hollow," and "Dracula 3000."
Mark Dacasacos is tapped to play the role of Kung Lao, a major hero in the series. Dacascos is no stranger to martial arts films and TV shows. In the late-90s, he starred as Eric Draven in "The Crow: Stairway to Heaven." Harry Shum Jr., from the "Glee" series,
will be playing the role of Kuai Liang
who is the second Sub-Zero and younger brother to the original Sub-Zero. Brian Tee, from the first season of "Crash," is tapped to play Liu Kang the titular character of Mortal Kombat.
Veteran actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, will be replacing Jonathan Phan,
as the sorcerer Shang Tsung
who is one of the titular villains of the Mortal Kombat franchise. Back in the 90s, when the first Mortal Kombat movie came out, Tagawa played the role of Shang Tsung. In this respect, Tagawa plays Tsung in the movie and the second season of the series.
It has been announced that Ermac, Quan Chi, and Kenshi will be in season 2; however, there's no news at the moment on who will portray the three.
This series came to be due to the original alternate universe proposal back in 2010. In this proposal, Brazilian martial arts actor Lateef Crowder portrays Baraka. In MK Legacy, Baraka is portrayed by a different actor.
For fans who cannot wait, there's always the Steamy Awards where the first clip is set to be shown.

This recipe originally appeared with an article about how to make your own fresh fettuccine. A lot has changed since those days: Being able to buy imported and high-quality pasta of all kinds is something we now take for granted.
YIELD: Makes 4 servings
Cook fettuccine in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water* until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander.
Melt 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) butter in a 2- to 3-quart flameproof gratin dish over low heat. Add cooked pasta and toss to coat, lifting strands. Add cheese, reserved cooking water, cream, remaining 3 tablespoons butter (thinly sliced), salt, and pepper and toss to combine well. Sprinkle with additional cheese and serve immediately.
* When salting water for cooking, use 1 tablespoon salt for every 4 quarts of water.
Cooks' note: You can substitute a large deep skillet for the gratin dish to sauce the pasta, then serve pasta on plates and sprinkle with cheese.

Anthony F. Verri, 89, of Little Falls, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 26, 2012, in St. Elizabeth Medical Center, with his loving family by his side.
Anthony F. Verri, 89, of Little Falls, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 26, 2012, in St. Elizabeth Medical Center, with his loving family by his side.
He was born on January 4, 1923, in Little Falls, the son of the late Vingenio James and Maria Volpe Verri, and attended Little Falls schools. At the age of 16, Anthony joined the CCC, a government work group that allowed younger family members to earn for their family. He started working with this group in Gilbert Lake and then on to Wyoming. Anthony served in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II and was honorably discharged in 1946. On August 1, 1964, he married the former E. Barbara Klock in Little Falls.
Prior to his retirement, Anthony worked construction for many years with the Utica Laborers Union. He was an avid bowler and took great pleasure in spending time fishing, especially for walleye at Oneida Lake.
He is survived by his loving wife, Barbara; his sisters, Agatha Pietrapauli and Joan Lasher, both of Little Falls; his sister-in-law, Helen Wren; several special and cherished nieces and nephews from the Verri, Wren and Klock families; and his special friend, Mark Roy. Anthony was predeceased by his brothers, Gino Verri and Fierello Verri, who passed away serving our Country in WW II; his sister, Jean Lonis; and his step-mother, Lucy Verri.
In keeping Anthony's wishes, there will be no public calling hours or funeral services. Interment will be made in Fairview Cemetery, Little Falls, at the convenience of the family.
Online condolence, in Anthony's memory, may be offered by visiting www.eneafamily.com. The family is being served by the Enea Family Funeral Home, 24 W. Monroe Street, Little Falls.

Coyotes Forward Martin Hanzal Faces Disciplinary Hearing for Boarding Dustin Brown in Game 2 (Video)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 5/16/12
GLENDALE, AZ - OCTOBER 22: Martin Hanzal #11 of the Phoenix Coyotes watches from the bench during the NHL game against the Detroit Red Wings at Jobing.com Arena on October 22, 2009 in Glendale, Arizona. The Coyotes defeated the Red Wings 3-2 in overtime. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
The Phoenix Coyotoes are on the verge of gaining a reputation they didn't exactly set out for this postseason. Forward Martin Hanzal will face a disciplinary hearing with the NHL Player Safety Department on Wednesday as a result of his boarding incident in Game 2 against the Kings on Tuesday. Hanzal pushed Dustin Brown from behind as the Kings forward approached the end boards while racing for a loose puck in the third period. Hanzal was assessed a boarding major and a game-misconduct, but he could be on the hook for supplemental discipline. This, of course, occurs less than a...

During the IT Camps I've delivered recently either on the Private Cloud or Virtualization, there was one question I've heard several times : "How do I convert my existing VMs from VMware to Hyper-V ?".
The conversion of the VMware Virtual Machines and VMware virtual disks (.vmdk) to Hyper-V virtual machines and Hyper-V virtual hard disk files (.vhd) can be done with a Solution Accelerator. The Solution Accelerator is a set of tools and guidance that helps you do the job in the efficient way.
Click here to register to Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Beta program and download the tools
The virtual machine converter will allow you to do the following actions :
Please note that only the Virtual Machine Converter supports the conversion from :
The tool can be used to convert running virtual machines or perform an offline conversion of VMware virtual hard disks as you can see below :
You can use the GUI to perform a conversion but the tool comes also with a comand line inerface (MVDC.exe) than you can use to automate your conversions.
You can also use System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2012 to convert VMware virtual machines into Hyper-V virtual machine. Keep in mind that you must have made the integration between SCVMM and VMware in order to be able to perform this conversion. The procedure is rather simple and explained here : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610672.aspx
In this configuration you can migrate from :
The source virtual machine can be stored in the VMM Library or managed by a VMware ESX Host.
Happy conversion from VMware to Hyper-V !
Hi Damien,

Dr. Manzoor A. Kazi's Ratings
was diagnosed with a kidney infection from another urgent care doctor when I came to see kazi he had me sent to get an ultrasound and I asked to have them put stat considering I was in extreme pain. 5 days went by with no returned call and I called twice a day. I finally came in and was told he wasn't here when he was and was seen by a Nurse practitioner. She knew nothing of my case nor did kazi because he never reviewed my report. Worthless staff this doctor is a moron. I will never step foot in this office again!

I saw Dr Kazi a couple times and thought he was very friendly and listened to me. I came in today for a doctor's note and the woman there told me I couldn't get one. I called later to see if they could make an exception and THEN I was informed that I needed to be seen to get a note. HORRIBLE service and VERY rude.

Dr. Kazi is my primary care doctor as well as running an urgent care clinic. I LOVE that I can show up any day without an appointment and be seen within about 30 minutes! When I first met the doctor and his staff, I showed up as an urgent care patient. I collapsed in the lobby and was immediately seen. Dr. Kazi was so concerned about my condition, he immediately had me transferred and admitted to Eisenhower Medical Center. I was in the hospital for five days having been diagnosed with bronchitis, pneumonia, viral hepatitis and a severe flu. I credit Dr. Kazi and his wonderful staff with saving my life and truly appreciated his very personal care when he visited me every day while I was in the hospital. My husband and 10 year old daughter now also see Dr. Kazi as their primary care doctor.

The worst service, don't go. I went in for an ear infection and was seen by a nurse practitioner because Dr. Kazi was on vacation. Yes, I did have an ear infection and was prescribed an antibiotic to take for ten days. After ten days I could still feel pain in my ear and called to find out if I would have to pay for a follow-up. I was told by the receptionist that I had exceeded the amount of time to receive a complimentary follow-up. I had three to five days to get a complimentary follow-up and was prescribed a ten day course of antibiotic. I have always been under the impression that a course of antibiotic needs to be completed before an actual healing result can take place. A complimentary service after a ten day course of medication with existing symptoms is good business. However, Dr. Kazi does not see it that way. Dirty, unprofessional service. Buyer Beware!!!

Was in the hospital, had to go to home drug therapy. Dr. refused to monitor home drug therapy, but refused to state why. Because of the doctors refusal, I had to stay in the hospital 3 additional days until another doctor could be located to monitor my home drug therapy. When I called, from the hospital, to ask why as my primary care physican refused to monitor, I was placed on hold and no one came to the phone after a 20 minute wait. When I went in to discuss this matter, the doctor refused to discuss this matter. I would not send a stray dog to this doctor...RUN do not walk away from this doctor. And, my other doctors, specialists have told me I really need to find a different doctor. When other doctors recommend I seek a different doctor, then alarms go off!!!!

Jacoby Jones hopes to make name for himself
Jim Ecker
Friday, August 07, 2009
Jacoby Jones has been known to sit in front of a television and watch Jacoby Jones play ball.
OK, let's clarify that.
Jacoby Jones, a baseball player and Aflac All-American from Richton, Miss., has been know to sit in front of a television and watch Jacoby Jones, a wide receiver in the NFL, catch passes for the Houston Texans.
Same name. Great athletic ability. Different guys.
"Yeah, I've watched him play before," said Jacoby Jones, the baseball player. "He's a big old boy. He's fast and has good hands."
Someday, somebody might ask the football-playing Jones about the baseball-playing Jones, a 6-foot-3, 189-pound infielder who might reach the major leagues.
"Yeah, I've watched him play before," the football-playing Jones might say in a few years. "He's a big old boy. He's fast and has good hands."
Back at you, buddy.
The baseball Jones has never met the football Jones and says there's never been any confusion over which is which.
Jacoby Jones (the baseball player) has been playing with the Mississippi Prospects this summer. He's toured Florida, Mississippi, Alabama and Minnesota for tournaments and showcases. And next week he'll report to San Diego for the 2009 Aflac All-American High School Baseball Classic at PETCO Park, home of the Padres.
"It's a great honor," he said.
Jones has committed to play college baseball at LSU and is excited about joining the 2009 College World Series champions, pending the 2010 draft. He committed in early March after his second visit to the school, saying there's a "great atmosphere" at LSU. He also likes the fact that the LSU campus is not far from his home in Mississippi.
"It's like three hours," he said. "Yeah, it's pretty close."
Jones hopes to make a name for himself someday, either at LSU or in the big leagues.

Red Hat's POSSE introduces academics to FOSS
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
Last week, five college professors spent an intense five days with Red Hat employees and other members of the free and open source software (FOSS) community. Red Hat called the experience POSSE (Professors' Open Source Summer Experience). The goal of the week was to show how FOSS could be used in post-secondary education, and to create a community to further the goal.
Greg DeKoenigsberg, Senior Community Architect at Red Hat has been promoting the FOSS as an educational resource for over a year, most notably at Seneca College in Toronto, Canada. He notes that, while many post-secondary instructors express an interest in using FOSS in the class room, when asked about implementing a program, they balk.
"Mostly, it's some combination of 'I don't have time' and 'it's scary,' DeKoenigsberg says of the responses he receives from instructors. "It's getting started that's the thing. So the question became, 'What's the best way of getting professors to participate and to get their students to participate in open source development?'"
One of DeKoenigsberg's answers, hastily assembled in March, was POSSE. Chris Tyler, a professor at Seneca College and one of POSSE's organizers, explains that the students were carefully selected.
"It's critical that a professor have one foot in the academic world and one foot in the open source community," Tyler says. Obviously, all professors will have one foot in the academic world, so it's a matter of getting them personally involved in the open source community. The goal of POSSE is to take these professors and give them an immersive experience of working in an open source community so that they have a grounding, and they can take the students in, and the students can work shoulder to shoulder with other members of the community."
In addition, the professors-turned-students were generally from smaller colleges. "Open source is very interesting to schools that are very small or very leading edge," DeKoenigsberg says. The MITs and Carnegie Mellons of the world, they're interested in open source because they're smart and the successes of open source are obvious, and they are innovative by nature. The small schools, they have small computer science programs where the pressures to do research maybe aren't as much. They have more of a teaching bent, so they have a real need to present something that is interesting to their students. And if there's one thing you can say about open source, it's that it is very interesting to students. I think that the success of Google's Summer of Code makes that very clear. And professors [at small colleges] are looking for ways to make computer science more relevant."
The Syllabus
The schedule for this year's POSSE was intense. Starting on the Monday, participants were introduced to the basic concepts of the FOSS community, then required to write a wiki about another participant, using only IRC to correspond. Overnight, students started a blog. The next day saw them compiling Firefox and learning through hands-on experience how to build an RPM package, then at night producing their own packages and submitting them to the Fedora Project. And so each day went, with a combination of instruction and class room assignments and overnight exercises, through the process of submitting and reviewing bugs and other elements of interacting with a FOSS community project.
Matt Jadud, an Assistant Professor at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania who was a student at POSSE, reports, "We filled each day, and I think there was only one evening when I didn't work like crazy. That evening, I had a headache in the afternoon and it didn't go away, so I called it quits at 10PM. In a lot of ways, it was intense, but it was valuable. That sort of immersion is the only way to get involved and get a sense of what we would be asking our students to do."
For Jadud, one of the outstanding topics of the week was learning how to package software. "I knew packaging was challenging," he says, "But it never occurred to me to think about the challenge of packaging for a community like Fedora." He is referring not just to the mechanics of packaging, but of posting the result and reviewing other packages.
However, what Jadud found most worthwhile in POSSE was the over-throwing of many of his assumptions. Although Jadud is a long-time user of free software, he had never participated in the community. As a result, he was surprised by several aspects of the community.
For one thing, Jadud found himself surprised by the friendliness of the community. "For some reason, I had some assumption that it was hard to get into," he says. However, he found that "this community values contributions." From these discoveries, Jadud concludes that "a licence is not open source. There is a community that you need to think about, too."
What's next
DeKoenigsberg and Tyler intend that POSSE participants should return to their colleges with a new sense of how to teach FOSS in the classroom. The advantages, they stress, are many: by participating in FOSS, students can work on real life coding problems instead of classroom exercises, and gain experience at working with large code bases and large numbers of contributors that will aid them when they graduate and hunt for jobs.
The organizers also hope that POSSE students will remain in touch with each other and become active on the Teaching Open Source site, helping to create and expand a FOSS community for academic instructors.
In addition, Jadud find himself thinking of not only how to use what he learned in his own classes and department, which he thinks should be relatively easy to do, but how to introduce FOSS into other departments in the college. He is considering organizing a POSSE-like event next year for documentation. The experience, he suggests, will be valuable to technical writing students, and to Arts majors in general.
"Students take part in the campus newspaper and put in on their resume," Jadud says, "but that's different from saying, 'I wrote the documentation for the Awesome toolbar, or 'I was part of the team that did the Spanish edition of the Firefox documentation, or I took part in a massive cleanup of the Fedora wiki -- you know, being able to point at something and say, 'I helped edit 600 pages.'"
This year was a trial run for POSSE, but if Jadud's response is typical of the other participants', then DeKoenigsberg and Tyler seem likely to be repeating the program next year. Jadud says that he arrive expecting to learn some of the technical details, but "what I didn't expect was how much I would learn about the existing communities, and how much more accessible they were than I imagined. Really, the experience did a lot to open my eyes."
If Jadud was not one of Tyler's academics with one foot in education and one in the FOSS community when he arrived at POSSE, he sounds very much like he is now.comments powered by Disqus

Jaromir Jagr made a very surprising decision on his next NHL destination and inked a one year deal with the Dallas Stars. Jagr agreed to a one year, $4.5 million deal with the Stars, a $1.2 million raise than what he earned last season with the Philadelphia Flyers. The Stars have not made the Stanley Cup playoffs in four seasons, but has already been aggressive in the very early stages of the free agency period. The Stars have traded away some of their youth in order to pick up some veteran leadership in players like Ray Whitney and Jagr. Jagr, 40, will be playing his first season in the Western Conference after spending the first 18 years of his NHL career playing in the Eastern Conference.
