The L.A. County Coroner has begun the autopsy on Sage Stallone, according to TMZ.
Sources for the website say the autopsy will be completed on Sunday.
According to investigators, there were no signs of foul play or trauma in the death of the 36-year-old actor, son of Sylvester Stallone and Sasha Czack.
Additionally, Sage could have been dead for three to four days prior to the discovery of his body, law enforcement sources reportedly told the website.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Sage was found unresponsive in his Los Angeles home Friday by an employee and a relative, and police arrived and confirmed he was dead, Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said.
"Sylvester Stallone is devastated and grief-stricken over the sudden loss of his son," publicist Michelle Bega said in a statement. "His compassion and thoughts are with Sage's mother, Sasha."

SAS Travel "Passion for Peru" May 12, 2015
The Inca Trail was made even better by this amazing local company. I travelled with a group of mainly trekking novices walking for Macmillan Cancer Support, and SAS Travel was the provider of local support.
We were brilliantly looked after by the SAS team, who worked alongside the UK based company Discover Adventure, to deliver porters, cooks and guides for the group.
As well as our equipment being carried for us between camps, they prepared the campsites for us. They also cooked us a hot breakfast, and two course lunch and dinner every day. The 5 guides, including Eddy, Aldo and Ronny, with the group had a high level of historical information and local knowledge of plants and wildlife, and delivered it with real passion.
We didn't book direct, as it was included in the support package provided through Macmillan and Discover Adventure, but I would have no hesitation in recommending this excellent local company.

Hola SAS!
we just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic trip along the Inca trail with the best tour guides ever! It's been 3 weeks ago now but we still talk about it and impress our friends with our story.
Rojo (Rogelio Gibaja Tapia), Hernie (Hernan QC) and Cesar were amazing!!! Especially Rojo who was our head leader loved to share proudly with us all his knowledge and wisdom about the Inca culture and history, as well as the nature along and around the trail. You could feel his love for the place where he grew up, still lives, works and cares for.
All three guides made us feel being part of their family and never felt bothered by any questions or concerns.
Hernie was the one who most of the time stayed patiently back with the last and very slow hikers. I know they deeply appreciated him for that.
Cesar was the "fun part" on the trip. Our group - a lot of strangers put together for 4 days - shared some crazy fun and laughters together with our guides.
Ricardo was our cook and I found it incredible what he and his helpers have put on the table for us (after carring it all around the trail). Huge Thank you to Ricardo on his fantastic cooking skills! I would have never expected that (even though we all learned that Peru in general has a great kitchen!) I found it so welcomed to see every night another way of napkin folds, it made me feel as we were eating in style!
The porters amazed me the whole way and I cannot get over the hard work they do just so we can have an unforgettable adventure. They all deserved our deepest respect!
We definitely will recommend your company to anyone who wants to do the trip. It was tough at times but all worth the sweat! Thank You!
No podria dejar de no escribir sobre esta estupenda experiencia que he vivido en Peru bajo la organizacion de SAS hace un mes.
Mil gracias, antes de todo a nuestro guia Dani por su incansable apoyo. Siempre preocupado con nuestros estados, cansancios, necesidades... y siempre prevendo todo para que nuestro trek se desarollase de forma mas tranquila y para que disfrutasemos al maximo.
Muchas gracias igualmente, a los otros miembros: el super chef Casillas, su asistente Nicasio y el nuestro portador.
La comida preparada era divina...y sus sonrisas y disponibilidad me han tocado.
En general, todo muy bien organizado....los conocimientos de Dani sobre la cultura inca y peruana en general nos han largamente ayudado para sumergir en la cultura del Peru.
Gracias por todo!
Our trip was great! In particular, Henry was a fantastic guide -- he was knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and treated us like family. Also, Casillas was a great chef -- he made us really delicious and healthful meals. Felt like fine dining our whole trek.
Overall, a great trip!
As a general comment, SAS was an excellent company. Great people, great equipment, and great food. I never saw another group that had something or did something that we didn't. I never found myself saying, "I wish our group did that." SAS Travel is a great value when you do the math (Machu Picchu ticket, train ticket, bus tickets, meals, etc.). It really becomes an inexpensive excursion.
Eddy Wilfredo was our lead guide for the 4D/3N Inca Trail trek. I can honestly say that I could not have asked for a finer guide. Eddy is local to the Sacred Valley and clearly loves the Inca culture and history. He is extremely knowledgeable and a great communicator (even in English). Eddy did a great job explaining the big picture of the Inca culture and how the trail, sites, and cultural beliefs all tied together. On the trail, Eddy was always a positive, motivating force. He was calm and did not ever rush the hikers. Rather, he encouraged everyone to hike at their own pace, and he provided many opportunities for the group to gather back together.
In our group, we had one hiker who fell quite ill to altitude sickness. Eddy remained calm and went to Herculean efforts to help this hiker along the trail (the hiker ultimately finished the trek and made it to Machu Picchu). That would not have been the case without Eddy's compassion and leadership. A truly superior guide!
Here are a few things I wish I had known (mid-March trek):
• I found it warm during the hike (mid-March trek). I always hiked in shorts and a t-shirt. I found that even in light or moderate rain, I tended to lean forward. My front stayed dry; my back was covered by my pack (pack cover is a must); and a wide-brimmed "boonie" hat kept the water out of my face. My arms would get wet, but that was rather refreshing.
• Nothing will dry. It rained every night, but generally cleared during the day. Being wet during the hike was no big deal. Just have dry clothes to change into.
• Camp shoes are nice. I always just used flip flops, but my son uses Teva sandals. I liked the sandals better. They allowed you to wear socks. It got a little cool in the evening. I wanted to take a break from my hiking boots, but my feet got cold during dinner.
• The tents were very waterproof. They did great. It rained every night (typically cleared during the day).
• Don't worry about the pace. The guides were very patient. There are plenty of opportunities to catch up with the group. They encourage you to walk at your own pace. Guides will assist weaker hikers.
• The Inca Trail 4D/3N is no joke. Be in shape, have the proper gear, and take your altitude meds properly. You will enjoy the experience much more.
• When you get to Cusco, stop by the SAS Travel office (even before the 7 pm departure brief) to make sure that your name and passport number are correct on all of the paperwork.
• A Camelbak was great on the trail. It was also nice to have a bottle available for meals. They do a lot of tea at meals, but not a lot of water on the table.
• If you are a really fast hiker, bring a book. There will be time to kill. Don't worry, it's all good. My son's (fast hiker) favorite "time" was the hour that he spent at Intipata sitting in the sun on the beautiful terraces. It was quiet and isolated.
• You won't need Steri-pens, iodine tablets, or filters. Their boiled water is sufficient, safe, and provides the requisite volume.

SAS Travel is supporting many of the community projects run by Hotel Marqueses: Eg. "Cusco Hospital Regional Project", "Walk a Mile in my shoes", "Shoes shiners boys" If you are coming to Cusco please make a space for a couple of second hand clothes, shoes especially for kids, school equipment, toys and drop them off in our office. We will help distribute the items to people who really need them in small village schools and communities in the mountains of Lares. The project in the Cusco Regional Hospital is partly play therapy and so larger durable toys (like second hand fisher price items) are lent to the children not as presents but as part of daily therapy activities and are always appreciated. Smaller toy/ gifts are used for children spending Birthdays in Hospital or who have been specifically identified as having a particular need. Medicines such as Rifamacina, are what are gifted for patients particularly in the Burns Unit. Any one bringing a donation is welcome to come with us to the hospital to see the project and donate personally. Thank you.

I have a girlfriend who's ready to buy a decent recreational bike in the $400-$600 range. She's a bit heavy right now and can't get her leg up over a standard bike's top tube. I think she needs a step-through design frame. I would like her to have a decent, light weight bike that's stout and built to last lots of troublefree miles.
I've been into better quality bikes for a long while now. My current ride is a titanium GT Xizang with Shimano XTR components. I would like her to have a decent chance to keep up with me, once she's in shape.
Do any of you guys or gals have any suggestions? I know the price bracket's a little low to be expecting top shelf frame and components. But I thought one of you 50+ guys might point us in the right direction. Any suggestions???

Consuming fish is part of a healthy diet, and has many benefits. The following information is helpful to determine the safe consumption levels for fish caught in Wisconsin streams, rivers and lakes. Search DNR for your county's fish advisories or learn more about fish consumption in general.
Mercury, PCBs and You
The two most common water contaminants found in rivers, streams, and lakes in Wisconsin are PCBs and Mercury. They frequently accumulate in fish. Below is more information:
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
PCBs are a group of manufactured organic chemicals. People are exposed to PCBs through fish from contaminated waters. Because they do not break down easily, PCBs are now found widely distributed in our environment but remain in sediments near industries that manufacture or used PCBs.
Tips on reducing PCBs in Fish:
- Fatty fish, bottom feeding fish, and fish from contaminated waters have the greatest PCB concentrations.
- Eat smaller, younger fish.
- People who have been regularly exposed to PCBs are at greater risk for health problems.
- Great Lakes fish and fish from some of Wisconsin's major rivers (Sheboygan, Cedar Creek, Milwaukee, Lower Fox) have higher levels of PCBs than fish from Wisconsin inland lakes and other rivers.
For more information on PCBs:

PCBs and the Food Chain (Diagram)
PCB information on the Lower Fox River
Mercury (Hg)
Mercury is an element that is released into the air from a variety of processes including coal burning. It can travel long distances and be deposited on soil and in lakes.
Tips on Mercury in Fish:
- Mercury exists in several forms that build up in the bodies of fish, wildlife, and humans that consume food from aquatic food chains.
- Mercury cannot be removed from the fish.
- People are primarily exposed to mercury from eating fish or shellfish.
- Choose fish species with low mercury levels according to state and national advisories

Could anyone comment on the excerpt below? This is a reputable journal, which states that to create an animal model of allergy, you essentially vaccinate puppies: aluminum + foods + hepatitis vaccine. I realize that vaccines for humans are not primarily made up of foods, but many contain some proteins (DTaP - dairy, PC - soy, MMR and V and flu - egg). Plus the issue of food proteins already in the body. Is there anything I'm overlooking with respect to a connection between vaccines and food allergies that would make this article less worrisome?
In the atopic dog model for food allergy (Ermel et al. 1997), newborn pups (day 1) were subcutaneously injected in the axillas with 1 µg of cow's milk, beef, ragweed, and wheat extracts in alum. Food antigen was again administered on days 22, 29, 50, 78, and 85. At ages 3, 7, and 11 weeks, all pups were vaccinated with attenuated distemper-hepatitis vaccine. Immunized pups responded with allergen-specific IgE by week 3 and peaked at week 26 of age. The IgE titer could be maintained with bimonthly injections of specific antigen in alum combined with a daily feeding of a maintenance diet containing minimal amounts of the allergen source.

Do you remember your first tama?

They never went to Japan either XD
Well idk. I do remember going to Washington.

I was told I had a few original tamagotchis, but they were thrown away because they were annoying?? but the first tamagotchi i actually remember having was from 2005-2006, when I got my first v2.
Posted 14 March 2014 - 04:37 PM ( #444 )
I got my first tamagotchi on my 8th Birthday from a family friend. I played with it for a day and was already hooked- it was clear blue. I then went and bought myself another one which was red. They were V2. I then bought myself a V3, V4 and V5- which were union jack, blue clouds and silver. About a year ago I saw an advert for the new Tamagotchi Friends. I knew I had to get one even though I thought I was too old (18). I loved them then and i love them now. Im currently running 3 Friends in Red, Blue and my newest one which I bought yesterday in purple. As soon as i go back home for easter im gunna dig my old tamas out.
Posted 14 March 2014 - 06:22 PM ( #445 )
My first Tama was a V1 when they first came back in 2004 Sparkly red with orange buttons.
Running it right now actually since my P's is all grown up lol
Posted 31 March 2014 - 02:12 AM ( #446 )
I remember mine being a metallic p1 with either blue, yellow or pink clouds or something? But I remember dropping it getting out of the car once and broke a line of pixels xD my sister got a green dinkie dino
Ahh memories!!
Posted 04 April 2014 - 02:36 PM ( #447 )
I still remember getting my first one, it was back when they first came out in the UK. I saw them when I was out shopping with my mum and went crazy for one. I ended up promising my mum that I would keep my room tidy for at least a month and I would stop asking for a puppy. Being about seven (I think) at the time that was a pretty big deal to me. I never put it down until I had to go back to school and I wasn't allowed to take it with me. My mum would take it off my every morning and either her or my dad would have to look after it until I got home. They let it die once and I got so upset that my mum took charge and actually looked after it better than I did sometimes, I think she secretly enjoyed playing with it really. After a couple of years it just stopped working for some reason, tried loads of new batteries but nothing :/

a tamago. i got them when they first came out. i did so many chores for it.
Posted 17 April 2014 - 12:06 AM ( #450 )
The first tamagotchi I played with was a fake one that belonged to a school mate . It was I think in 1996-1997 when they first appeared. I didn't get one at that time (couldn't afford one myself) but I could borrow it from my colleague so I played with it. I am not sure exactly what it was, all I remember you could choose between a few animals and one of them was an elephant which did very funny somersaults. I wish I could figure out what it was and find a similar one . I loved playing with it at that time and I wished I had one myself.
Anyway, just this year I found an IDL e in a Japanese department store and I remembered how much I wanted a Tamagotchi! So I couldn't resist not buying it. So, that's my own first tama , and I like it a lot. After that, I looked up what other tamagotchis are there and I decided I want to try some of the older ones, that's how I ended up buying another 6 (!!) online (I need to stop buying! ). I only received one until now, a v4.5, but I can't wait to get the others.
I am quite older now (with a job and everything), but I think I always wanted to have these and just forgot about them by the time I could buy one myself. I am very happy to have re-discovered them!

I didn't remember anything too specific about the tamagotchi itself but i remember that my addiction was too bad that my teacher threatened to throw it out the window. my second tamagotchi was green though.
Posted 04 June 2014 - 07:53 PM ( #452 )
I got my first Tamagotchi as an end-of-the-year present in 1st grade because I heard about them and wanted one REALLY badly. Now, I have at least 20 Tamagotchis. I still have it and it is a yellow V4.
Posted 04 June 2014 - 10:23 PM ( #453 )
My first Tama... well, it was so many years ago, I don't remember exactly when, but it was a v3 Pink Ribbon design. I wanted one badly, and I couldn't find them anywhere. So, my aunt who lived in another state bought me one and mailed it to me. I cried because I was so happy. <3
Posted 12 June 2014 - 11:13 PM ( #454 )
Not quite, it was so long ago! I do remember that they died a lot so it never got to be an adult. I also thought the poops were hersheys kisses. I would wear it on a key ring with my Giga Pet (I had the dog) and my Nano; but I had several virtual pets so there were like four or five of them, maybe? Hahaha. My first virtual pet was some off brand dinosaur one from Walgreens, then I got a Giga Pet, Tamagotchi, and Nano. I took my virtual pets with me to Las Vegas. I remember sitting behind a couch or something playing with them; that's like the first thing that pops into my head when I think back to having my first Tamagotchi. That, and coming home from school to find it dead AGAIN! Hahaha!
Posted 17 June 2014 - 08:25 PM ( #455 )
mine was the see-through orange v1. i got it when i was around 6 years old. i remember i got it because i liked the shell, but i dont remember any experiences with it.
Posted 28 June 2014 - 03:12 AM ( #456 )
I had a V1 but the one I remember most was a white one with green dots on it and it looked like a turtle shell and was so cute xD I think I liked it the most because of the fact that it reminded me of turtles :3
Posted 04 July 2014 - 12:36 AM ( #457 )
I remember we would smuggle Tamas to school after the teachers basically banned them and comparing with everyone else at recess... I also kept a diary just for it together with my pokemon one. (I loved keeping diaries of things I liked)
Posted 07 July 2014 - 12:35 PM ( #458 )
Yeah! I still have it actually
It's a pink V1 with hearts. I was 7 and had no idea how to use it. I thought when he pooped he was playing some kind of game. Every one I had died after it reached the child stage. One day, I absentmindedly chewed off the buttons, then packed it away. Later, when my collection was bigger, I replaced the buttons and debugged it. I couldn't un-debug it, so now I just keep it like that. It's pretty fun, actually. If I get bored I can run it in hyperspeed mode, or reset and choose a new character. I wouldn't debug any of my other tamagotchis though..
Posted 07 July 2014 - 04:28 PM ( #459 )
I remember I got an old blue P1 really cheap when I small, I remember having a Kuchipatchi... I also remember I dropped it and it fell inside the toilet the day of christmass.... that christmass were terrible (?)
Posted 07 July 2014 - 10:04 PM ( #460 )
Later on, my grandmother gave me a music star. Months later, she died. I lost the 4.5, and I put the music star away. Later on, in 6th grade, I found it again, replaced the batteries, and I still treasure them.
Currently, the 4.5 s missing probably from our many moves, but I still have the Music Star.
*And I treasured them

Columbus winger Cam Atkinson is ready to step into the spotlight this season.
Cam Atkinson is one of the best young offensive forwards in hockey. However, because of where he plays, he hasn't received a lot of leaguewide attention through his first few years in the league. A few injuries along the way have also derailed what has been a very solid first two seasons as a Blue Jacket for the former Boston College star.
On the surface, Atkinson may be in tough to earn a lot of ice time, as he is stuck behind Nathan Horton and Marian Gaborik on the Columbus right wing depth chart. But let's dig a little deeper to see why Atkinson will find a way to be a productive forward in 2013 - regardless of which offensive unit he ends up playing on.
Reason #1 - Talent
The deck is usually stacked against 5-8 late round draft picks, but Atkinson has been proving people wrong his entire career. He was an offensive dynamo in college, and made quick work of the AHL after turning professional. Atkinson scored 29 goals in 51 AHL games in 2011-12, and he had 17 goals and 38 points in 31 AHL games during the lockout. He proved quite quickly to be an offensive force at that level, and the Jackets gave him an opportunity to prove his stuff in the NHL.
Atkinson had nine goals and 18 points in 35 games in the NHL this past season before suffering a sprained ankle. He averaged only 1:19 per game on the PP, and that number will increase significantly both this season and in future seasons (top line wingers typically fall in the two or three-plus minute range... and Atkinson is well on his way to emerging as a top line winger for the Jackets). His 10.87 shots on goal per 60 minutes led all Columbus skaters in 2013, and he was third on the roster in points per 60 minutes of ice time. He's been productive when given the opportunity to play, and with more ice time he will see more opportunities to produce.
Reason #2 - Work ethic
At each level of hockey along the way, Atkinson has had to work that much harder than his peers because of his lack of height. All else equal, scouts and coaches favour bigger and taller players. This isn't as much of a set rule as it used to be before the obstruction crackdown, but it is still a line of thinking that is followed in the hockey world.
Atkinson spends his summers working out in Connecticut with renowned hockey trainer Ben Prentiss. Prentiss trains several high profile NHL players, including another player who has had to overcome a lack of height in his career - Marty St. Louis. According to Prentiss, Atkinson is one of the fittest players in the gym, and his strength is very impressive. A lack of height can be easily overcome with work ethic and talent, and like St. Louis, Atkinson has both of these in spades. Having a guy like St. Louis to look up to and to learn from will undoubtedly help Atkinson thrive in the NHL - there aren't many better role models for maximizing talent with work ethic.
Prentiss on Atkinson's ankle rehab, as well as his overall strength:
I would say he is 100 percent. That has not been an issue whatsoever. We typically, in my programs anyway, I am an advocate on certain things that people leave out -neck, ankle, we incorporate prehabilitative stuff at the end of each workout.
We have been doing that and he hasn't had any issues.
He is one guy who full cleans, I think, 120 [kilograms] the other day. Full clean from the floor.
Again, context. 120kg is about 270 pounds. Atkinson weighs almost 100 pounds less than that.
Reason #3 - Better talent around him
Atkinson really thrived on a line last season with Matt Calvert and Brandon Dubinsky. The Jackets may keep the trio together to start 2013-14 (potentially as the second line while Horton rehabs from off-season shoudler surgery). Having chemistry with linemates could help Atkinson get out to a quick start, but don't be surprised to see him move over to the left side at some point to play with Gaborik and/or Horton on the top unit (likely centered by Artem Anisimov).
Atkinson is simply too good of a player to play line three minutes, even if he sees prime power play opportunities.

As we all know, a lot can still happen in August and September. How about a strong training camp from a bubble player or a rookie? How about a late summer trade or signing?
The fantasy impact(s) of these moves can be significant, and we will have you covered.

Kenya has become the hottest oil and gas venue in East Africa since big discoveries were made in the country's virgin oilfields last April. All eyes are on Kenya in 2013 to see how quickly--and economically they can develop those discoveries into production.
Nairobi based Taipan Resources Inc (CVE:TPN) is the 4th largest acreage owner in Kenya, and is getting ready to carry out seismic on Block 2B. They recently attracted Maxwell Birley as CEO. Mr. Birley has been instrumental in discovering more than 2 billion barrels of oil equivalent in his 30-year career—much of it in Africa and Asia.
In an exclusive interview with Oilprice.com, Taipan CEO Maxwell Birley discusses:
• Why Kenya is the hottest venue in East Africa
• Why 2013 will be a stellar year for Kenya
• Why the regulatory environment remains attractive
• Why Kenya outranks its neighbours
• Why infrastructure will be in place in time for commercial activity
• Why this venue is good for the juniors
• Why the Somalia security risk remains low
• What Taipan is really chasing
Interview by James Stafford of Oilprice.com
James Stafford: There were some major discoveries in Kenya last year. Could you give me some colour on these discoveries that has the market thinking Kenya is now one of the hottest exploration spots on earth?
Maxwell Birley: There are a couple—or 2 billion--reasons actually. First, two recent discoveries by Tullow in the Tertiary Lokichar basin of Kenya are in similar geological settings as the discoveries also made by Tullow in the Albertine Basin in Uganda, just to the west.
Uganda has over 2 billion barrels, and the discoveries are similar enough that one could assume the eventual size of the resources in the Lokichar basin could be in the billions of barrels range as well.
There are also other Tertiary basins in Kenya that are attractive. Based on geochemical work we recently did it's possible that the eventual hydrocarbon resource size for the whole of Kenya could be much higher than this.
Being specific the unrisked prospective resources for Taipan's acreage in Kenya is 530 million barrels. We also believe that this estimate will likely increase to approximately 1.0 billion on completion of our studies.
These estimates are for only 2 blocks in Kenya, if this is reasonably extrapolated to other blocks across the country one can easily forecast very significant hydrocarbon resource sizes indeed.
James Stafford: What's the easiest and most challenging thing about working with the Kenyan government and in the Kenyan political climate?
Maxwell Birley: The Ministry of Energy is always ready for a meeting. They listen to our concerns and take the appropriate action. They quickly follow up and give us the support that we need with other Ministries. In the field the local administration is also very helpful. We have regular meetings to make sure our work continues without a hitch.
With regard to the political climate, there is an election coming up in March 2013. We're making arrangements so that we do not have a slowdown in seismic operations during that period. The last elections in 2007 were associated with some "geographically limited" security issues, however these were located far from our areas of operation, so we are not expecting the elections to have much impact on our operations.
James Stafford: The Kenyan government is reviewing its oil and gas regulations. Among the suggested amendments is one that would see the National Oil Corporation (NOC) get a 25% interest in oil properties that foreign firms are operating in Kenya, but this would put the government in a precarious position vis-à-vis attracting investors. How do you see this playing out in the end?
Maxwell Birley: The government is reviewing the terms that shall apply for licences/contracts that will be granted in the future. Oil companies will review all the terms on offer at the time of bid submission and compare them to the attractiveness of the acreage.
James Stafford: In November last year, Kenya expelled Norwegian Statoil, after revoking its exploration license. Is Nairobi increasingly 'policing' exploration, and what will this mean for investors in the near/medium term?
Maxwell Birley: One of the main functions of the Ministry is to regulate the companies undertaking exploration activities in Kenya. We feel confident, as in many other countries where we have worked, that if you carry out your commitments in the timeframe of the PSC then your license is 100% secure. If we decide to go into the next phases of exploration on Block 2B we can continue to explore for hydrocarbons on the block for another 4.5 years without concerns to the validity of our contract.
James Stafford: How does the industry view the financial terms offered by Nairobi in oil and gas?
Maxwell Birley: We believe the terms are reasonably attractive, at least for an oil discovery. The reason that only a few exploration wells were drilled in the past was due to the lack of exploration success—and this was driven by the lack of understanding by the oil companies of the basins. It wasn't because of financial terms offered by the government.
Now that a discovery has been made and our knowledge is increasing, we are going to see a significant increase in drilling activity and therefore reserve additions to the country.
James Stafford: Is Kenya becoming more a game for the majors rather than the juniors, and do you think we will see more joint ventures in the near future?
Maxwell Birley: In our opinion there is a place for small companies at every stage of the development of an oil province. But it's definitely good news for those juniors with large land positions already in the country. The early movers--i.e. the companies like Taipan that acquired their acreage before the oil was discovered—will benefit from the recent oil discoveries. Most of the more prospective acreage has now been leased and therefore the competition for land is increasing.
As large volumes of oil are discovered, the large independent and Majors will start to notice the country more and more. The Majors—due to their size and complexity—tend to be exploration risk averse and prefer to concentrate on large, lower-risk developments.
James Stafford: How would you like to see Nairobi interact with the energy sector moving forward? And how does Kenya compare with other venues in the region like Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Sudan?
Maxwell Birley: There is no doubt that Nairobi is a premium location for business, tourism and families. This is illustrated by the fact that many multi-nationals operating in the sub-Sarahan African region have their head offices in Nairobi. Regarding interaction, it is the oil industry that will need to develop an active and well respected industry body so that broad industry issues can be discussed at the higher levels.
James Stafford: Kenya is clearly the East African leader in oil infrastructure, and is now starting the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transit corridor (LAPSSET) project. But it will cost $25 billion for the roads, the 1200 km pipeline and 120,000 barrel-per-day refinery. How feasible do think this project is and why? Is it feasible in the timeframe projected by Nairobi?
Maxwell Birley: The resources in Uganda and to some extend south Sudan must be exported. A pipeline through Kenya seems to be the most feasible.
Regarding the time line, having 2.5 billion barrels sitting in the ground just west of Kenya in Uganda is a really strong motivation to build the pipeline quickly. In South Sudan I think they started pumping oil back up north again now, but I think they will want to go through Kenya in the near future.
Whether it's LAPSSET or the Tullow consortium someone is going to build a pipeline through Kenya to the coast in the next few years. We think the pipeline will be located within 175 kilometres from our acreage. The pipeline will be good for everybody in the region but it should be particularly positive for us.
So when we make a discovery on Block 2B, the pipeline will be in the construction phase. In the interim we'll truck the oil by bowser the early production from the fields. Then, depending on the size of any discoveries, we'll build a connecting pipeline into the pipeline from Uganda. I think we're in a very fortunate position now.
James Stafford: In terms of exploration what are the 'sweet spots' in Kenya?
Maxwell Birley: Definitely the Anza Basin. Currently, the proven sweet spots are in the Tertiary sediments of the rift basins of Uganda and Kenya. More specifically to Kenya in the Lokichar Basin as proven by the Ngamia and Twiga wells by Africa Oil.
These basins form part of the larger East African

1958 Harlem Globetrotters Featuring Wilt Chamberlain Broadside. Denied the option of entering the NBA prior to completing his studies at the University of Kansas, history's greatest "big man" opted for a year of play with the Harlem Globetrotters, earning the astronomical sum of $50,000 for his year of service. Here we find one of the few surviving artifacts from that brief partnership, printed to promote an April 4th game at Eugene, Oregon's McArthur Court. Terrific color artwork is from the pen and mind of famed The Sporting News cartoonist Willard Mullin, best remembered as the creator of the Brooklyn Dodgers' mascot Bum. The poster measures 14x22" in size, with a few tack holes medium edge wear throughout. Neither of these concerns is particularly evident except upon close inspection, providing an NM appearance despite a technically lower grade. A classic 'trotters piece.

[Prior Post in Series] [Next Post in Series]
Recently I had an opportunity to do an example tuning on an Enovia SmarTeam installation. Marc Young at xML Solutions arranged for me to work with the folks at Langen Packaging Group in Mississauga, Ontario. Mirek Tokarz facilitated the access: dealing with NDAs, IT Security Policy and the many other issues that needed to be well addressed when an external consultant accesses a system containing intellectual property and proprietary information.
I will not subject you to yet another retelling on how to do a Tuning Trace and running the Database Engine Tuning Advisor (DTA). If you are not familiar with these, see my earlier post or:
I was connected to an old developer test system populated with a 6 month old image of the production system. For purposes of tuning, this is more than adequate. For the purpose of intellectual property and protection from competition, it is an excellent choice. Regardless of NDA, you do not want to needlessly expose current inquiries and order to any 3rd party person, such as a consultant.
Mirek had taken me through a quick walk thru two weeks earlier, so I fired up Smarteam and proceeded to go into a quasi-black box testing. I got a few error messages that were handled well and I stopped when I had accumulated a small (1 MB) trace log consisting of 960 statements for tuning. My preference is to have a 200MB to 1 TB trace log.
The results of various runs using DTA are shown below. As cited in my introductory post, I tend to add indexes in steps because there is often a strong correlation between indexes. I will look at each run in detail in subsequent posts and provide a ready-to-try script as the last post of this series.

The purpose of the tuning was not to do a comprehensive tuning – rather an illustrative tuning in detail to show the logic that I am using. The purpose of the tuning is also to illustrate some of the side-effects that you may see and explain them. For example, adding one set of indices increased the number of recommended indexes from 7 to 32, which seems counter to expectations of seeing decreasing recommended indexes.
You can see the details in the following posts (coming soon):
Mirek reported to me that queries were taking literally half of the time that they were prior to my tuning. His staff will be more productive and less frustrated as a result. He is convinced of the benefit of tuning indexes on an ISV system.
On my first run above, I received two warning messages on the [Progress] tab shown below. I should explain these a bit.

Transport Companies
Libya Acquires New Tankers
Libya Wednesday took delivery of three new oil tankers at its port hosting the Refining Company in Zaouia, as part of ceremonies marking the 37th anniversary of the country`s September 1969 Revolution. Baghdadi Mahmoudi, Secretary of the Libyan People`s General Committee took delivery of the three tankers - Ibn Batouta, Gardhabia and Intissar - new additions to the Libyan Maritime Transport Company`s fleet. The tankers built in South Korea by Samaho Hundai, one of the largest ship builders in the world, under supervision by Lloyd`s of Britain, cost US$165 million each, according to industry sources. They are equipped to carry three types of crude oil, and each could unload 3,000 cubic metres of crude per hour. The tankers were purchased by the Libyan Maritime Transport Company to meet the needs of the National Oil Corporation (NOC), in pursuance of local and international standards, and for operation in all ports. They will sail between several Mediterranean ports and in northern Europe, under a long-term deal of specifications signed with NOC. Source: Angola Pres

SYDNEY, Australia and NEW CANAAN, Conn., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Marshall Edwards, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSHL) today announced enrolment of the first patient in Europe in the Phase III Ovature clinical trial of phenoxodiol in women with advanced ovarian cancer resistant or refractory to platinum-based drugs.
The first patient to commence on the study at an Ovature site in the EU has been enrolled at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, under the direction of Professor Ignace Vergote, Head of Gynaecologic Oncology.
"We are hopeful that a positive outcome of this multi-centre study will be a significant medical advance for thousands of women with late stage ovarian cancer whose tumours have become insensitive to the existing chemotherapeutic drugs," Professor Vergote said.
"As one of Europe's largest cancer institutions, it is important for us to be a part of these worldwide studies. It is important that we continue to develop new ovarian cancer treatments. It is only through constant research that we will learn how to battle this deadly disease effectively," said Professor Vergote.

Health Services strives to promote, maintain and restore the optimum level of health to prevent illness and alleviate disability so students can pursue their studies at Lake Forest College to the best of their abilities.
All full-time students – new, transfer, resident, and commuter – are required to complete a Health History Report and to include an immunization record. These forms must be returned to Health Services by August 3, 2015. If forms are not postmarked by August 3, students will be subject to a late fee of $100. Students not in compliance with the immunization requirements during their first term of attendance are restricted from registering for subsequent terms until compliance is obtained.
Emotional and physical needs of the students are met in a way that is both corrective and educational.

If you have been following the news recently you may have heard of the recent multi-state outbreak of measles linked to Disneyland in California, as well as sporadic cases in other states including one case in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Most of us have never seen anyone suffering from the measles virus. That's because of a very successful vaccination program and public health effort which began in 1936. In 2000 the United States declared that measles was eliminated from this country which means that measles was no longer native to the US. However, outbreaks continue to arise as a result of travel to or from countries where measles is prevalent such as Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - A pilot program at the St. Louis courthouse is using facial recognition technology to screen for possible threats from aggrieved citizens.
Cameras at the entrance to the downtown Carnahan Courthouse compare images of visitors to photos flagged by judges and prosecutors as possible security risks.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Monday that the new program was developed by a group of current and retired St. Louis police officers and was sparked in part by a 2011 courthouse shooting in Arkansas. The shooter, who was killed by police, was angry over a divorce judgment.
The program is being tested for free at the courthouse as well as at a downtown business and a St. Louis daycare center. It has come under criticism by civil liberty groups that worry such screenings intrude on personal rights.
"I think in today's world, being observed by a security camera is not that unusual or odd an event," said Mike Guzy, spokesman for Sheriff James Murphy, whose office is responsible for courthouse security. "The only difference here is if you have been deemed a threat, the security officers will be notified that you are on the premises.
"We are not screening everybody who walks in to see if they have any unpaid parking tickets or anything like that," he added.
Jeffrey Mittman, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri warned that the targeted approach could be a problem.
"Whenever you start targeting people for differential treatment, and that targeting is being done by the government, we have to be very careful," he said.
Courthouse visitors will be asked to pause at a security gate, take off any hats, glasses or other obstructions, and look at the cameras before passing through. The system compares each person's face to photographs stored in the computer and alerts deputies if there is a match, as well as the nature of the threat. The alert also can be sent to any designated iPhone - for instance, directly to a judge who has been threatened.
"This was very specifically designed to only capture people you want to stop for security reasons," said St. Louis Police Major Joseph Spiess, who helped create Blue Line Security Solutions, the company that developed the new system. "If you look at it and it doesn't recognize you as a threat, you're gone from the system."
The use of facial recognition technology is increasing in the private and public sectors. More than half of the 50 states use it in driver license registries to prevent ID fraud. Some companies have starting using it to target ads to consumers.

Lars Nygaard, CEO of the SAS Group subsidiary Spanair has resigned from his position with immediate effect to assume a new position outside the SAS Group.
Nygaard's departure follows Grupo Marsans head and Spanair co-founder Gonazalo Pascual's who stepped down as chairman of the carrier last month, as Grupo Marsans was rumoured to be preparing a bid for the full control of Spanair.
The carrier is 100% owned by SAS after Marsans-related investment vehicle Teinver sold its remaining 5% stake in the airline. However it is rumoured that Grupo Marsans will be looking at buying Spanair as a way of feeding its long haul network plans. Last month it signed a memorandum of understanding with Airbus for the purchase of 61 aircraft including 10 A350-900s, four A380-800s, five A330-200s and 42 A320 family aircraft.
Spanair's chief financial officer Marcus Hedblom, will take over as CEO of Spanair.

I gave up it a "good" rating because it does dry my hair fast and took a lot of the humidity/frizz away. However, the nozzle is very poor quality and moves all over the place
Dries hair incredibly quickly and seems to live up to the promise of less tangles & more shine.
Not exactly featherweight but light enough and does dry hair fast. I have very thick long hair but takes 7-8mins to dry completely. Wish their travel version is available in UK.

What is the best soundcard?
I want to buy a new soundcard to replace my good old vortex2. I want 5.1 sound for DVD and good music quality since I listen to music mostly on my computer. I'm also playing some fps games like UT 2003 and Quake. My Vortex2 was a very good card for 3d effects but it's a real cpu hog. I would want about the same quality but with better performance. I was not really impressed by EAX2 on the Live cards. Here are the cards that I'm considering:
SoundBlaster Audigy (even if it's a false 24bit)
Hercules Fortissimo III 7.1
Hercules Game Theatre XP 6.1
What would be the best choice for me?
i believe the hercules game theatre xp is the best of those 3.
actually if you have a decent speaker setup with a good amplifier, and good speakers etc, get a terratec dmx 6fire, this soundcard is way ahead of any creative card. it runs around 100-150 dollars but the sound quality is absolutely amazing. it runs pretty decent with games too. if you just have regular computer speakers than a creative will do, or better yet the hercules xp, or santa cruz.
or you could go for the Terratec 6fire LT...its the same card as the 6 fire but it doesnt have the brakout box, which means it cheaper...
very true, hadn't notice that terratec made that card without the breakout box. you could also go for m-audio audiophile 2496..equally impressive sound quality to the terratec.
I've got the Game Theater XP and it is an awesome card. There is just so much you can do with it, almost any speaker config works.
M-Audio Duo if you ever want to do real sound stuff... it's a Beautiful Thing.
or a lynx lol
Beast Buy is clearing out their Hercules Game Theater XP Audio Station for $75.50 w/ free shipping.
The Vortex 2 sound cards were great sound cards for their time. I tried my MX300 under Win2k but it wasn't fully functional since unfortunately Aureal died before the drivers were finished. It was time to upgrade.
I have both the SB Audigy and Turtle Beach Santa Cruz and think they are both good.
Sound Blaster Audigy
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz uses the same Cirrus Logic SoundFusion CS4630 soundchip as the Hercules Game Theater XP.
The Hercules Fortissimo uses the Cirrus Logic CS4624 soundchip.
The Audigy has the best EAX implementation and is a bit more forward looking (EAX Advanced, firewire).
Turtle Beach has solid WinXP drivers. A lot of people like it since it has a nice clear sound.
links of interest: http://www.3dss.com/
Does anyone know all the differences between the
Hercules Fortissimo III 7.1
Hercules Game Theatre XP 6.1
I thinking i want to try something other than creative to maybe help the performance hit im taking in Unreal2003 with Hardware sound enabled. These two seem like the best options. I can go and get the XP 6.1 card from a local retailer today, but i want to know if its worth it to get the 7.1 (Basically if there is anything different apart from support for 1 more speaker).
Btw, i use a 4 speaker setup and thats not going to change for a while.
I replaced my Audigy a while back with Hercules Game Theatre XP 6.1 and I'm not looking back. And the best is my game perforamance, no slow downs in heavy action with heavy sfx or voices. Can't believe I have been disillusioned all these years. Took a few sites to wake up and realize Creative is crap.
I already cant wait to Try selling my Audigy, the worst part is i know lots of people want one...

Jefferson County students got a real-life lesson in civil disobedience last September when school board member Julie Williams suggested that a curriculum review committee be established that would, among other things, look into Advance Placement U.S. history classes with direction that "materials should not encourage or condone civil disorder, social strife or disregard of the law."

Review quote
'This important and even-handed new text will be very useful not only in teaching students but also to advanced scholars. Rather than review individual policies, Cairney focuses his attention on the theoretical approaches that allow us to make sense of the confusing relations among citizens and elites that produce government action. The result is the best available synthesis and a strong argument for cross-fertilization and the use of multiple approaches.' - Frank R. Baumgartner, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA 'A unique text. Its great asset is to take an analytic approach in a field where most introductory volumes are descriptive. Well pitched for undergraduate teaching, it nevertheless addresses the cutting-edge debates on theory and models in policy analysis and highlights their key and vibrant contribution to political and social science.' - Claudio Radaelli, University of Exeter 'This welcome book provides an excellent balance between explaining the major theories of public policy and applying them in a comparative manner. Paul Cairney has a unique talent for connecting the different perspectives on public policy, which makes the book suitable for both undergraduates and graduates.' - Donley T. Studlar, West Virginia University, USA

Yikes is right! I don't like the guy, but not how I ever want anyone to be out of the lineup! Hope the surgery (if needed) goes well and he recovers for next season....
on a different note, if Dekeyser were coming here, I guess he is guaranteed a spot now...not unless they just roll with White. But I think they sign him now for sure... keeping White and Huskins as the depth rotating guys...
Yes, I know, I am just hoping and looking and reaching for a way to guarantee Danny becomes a Red Wing....it has to happen!

One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
Mustang Daily and Gas2, meanwhile, point out that the debut of a body-in-white car with a nine-inch Ford rear end makes the availability of a bolt-in axle conversion kit from Ford Racing a likely possibility. While this is all good news for Ford enthusiasts that want to run the quarter, nothing has been confirmed by Ford, aside from the off-hand comments of an unnamed employee, so take this with a grain of salt until we hear something certain.
