4/21/15 Johnny Depp's Marriage on the Rocks
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, April 21, 2015
There will be no conscious RE-coupling: Lawyers for GWYNETH PALTROW and CHRIS MARTIN filed their divorce papers yesterday. They cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split, but things have been pretty amicable so far. They've been spotted together several times, both with and without their kids, since they announced their "uncoupling" a year ago.
JOHNNY DEPP and AMBER HEARD have been married two and a half months, and "People" says they're already living separate lives. In fact, their troubles started even BEFORE the wedding. A source says, quote, "The wedding had been postponed several times . . . Amber had her wedding dress for months before they settled on a wedding date." Another source says that as soon as Johnny landed in Australia to film the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, he started partying HARD. Now, Johnny went back to L.A. for surgery after injuring his hand, but he returned yesterday WITH Amber. So maybe their lives aren't so separate after all.
TAYLOR SWIFT's relationship with Scottish singer CALVIN HARRIS could be doomed before it even has a chance to get off the ground . . . because he's ALLERGIC TO HER CATS. A source says, quote, "When he stayed over at Taylor's house last week, he was up all night blowing his nose and complaining he couldn't breathe. Apparently he's allergic to the long fluffy hair on Taylor's cats and they usually sleep in the bed so it's everywhere. He left really early the next morning. It's caused a bit of tension because now Calvin wants to meet up in hotel rooms or at his place in L.A., but not at Taylor's house."
BOBBI KRISTINA BROWN's grandmother gave an update on her condition yesterday: She's no longer in a medically induced coma, but she has irreversible brain damage and she's still unresponsive.
ROSEANNE BARR is GOING BLIND, but she's treating it with THE GIGGLE WEED. She says, quote, "I have macular degeneration and glaucoma. So [pot] is good for me for that because I have pressure in my eyes . . . my vision is closing in now." She's 62.
4/20/15 Wiki Leaks More Sony Drama

Monday, April 20, 2015
SHIA LABEOUF whined about being famous in an interview with "Variety", saying, quote, "The celebrity/star is the object of identification . . . you must become an enslaved body." So...ROB LOWE responded by Tweeting, quote, "He's right. It's SO hard being famous. So very, very, VERY HARD. Goodbye everyone, I retire as well."
:Several anonymous ESPN employees say BRITT MCHENRY should have gotten more than a week's suspension for berating a parking lot attendant. One even called her, quote, "the worst," and another said, quote, "[ESPN] can find a million Britt McHenrys to replace her."
Some leaked Sony emails show that when BEN AFFLECK was a subject of the show "Finding Your Roots", he wanted them to hide the fact that he had a slave-owning ancestor. The show did ignore it, but they now say it's because they wanted to focus on more interesting parts of his family history.
Leo DiCaprio claims to be a climate change activist, but newly leaked Sony emails say Leo used more than $200,000 worth of private jet flights in just six weeks in 2014. Sony corporate travel records posted on WikiLeaks Thursday show that DiCaprio took six private jet flights during April and May of last year.
4/17/15 Time Magazine's Most Influential
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, April 17, 2015
MICHAEL DOUGLAS and CATHERINE ZETA-JONES have apparently conquered their issues, including his battle with throat cancer and her struggles with bipolar disorder. And Michael said on "Ellen" yesterday that they're "stronger than ever." He added, quote, "It can't be a one-way street. But I'm crazy about her. And yeah, I think every couple has their difficult times. The only problem is, as you well know, we're all in the public eye, and it tends to get a little more exposed than most."
"Time" magazine has released its annual list of the 100 Most Influential People. The celebrities who made it this year include Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Bradley Cooper, Emma Watson, Kevin Hart, comedian John Oliver, and "Orange Is the New Black" star Laverne Cox.
ESPN has suspended reporter BRITT MCHENRY for one week, after video of her going off on a parking lot attendant hit the Web. She insulted the woman's job, her weight, her teeth, and her education level, all in a span of just SECONDS.
GWYNETH PALTROW made headlines by pledging to spend a week living on $29, like people on food stamps. But she only lasted FOUR days. She says, quote, "I personally broke, and had some chicken and fresh vegetables . . . after trying to complete this challenge, I'd give myself a 'C-.'"
4/16/15 V. Stiviano Ordered to Pay $2.6 Mil
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, April 16, 2015
AARON HERNANDEZ was found guilty of first degree murder yesterday. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Hernandez didn't really react. The jury deliberated for more than 35 hours over parts of seven days. Aaron is 25.
SOFIA VERGARA is engaged to JOE MANGANIELLO now . . . but her ex-fiancé is suing her for the right to make a baby from one of her fertilized eggs. When Sofia and Nick Loeb were still together, they took some of her eggs, fertilized them with his ESSENCE, and then had them frozen so they could have a baby at some point in the future. Well, since they're no longer together, Sofia wants to destroy those eggs. But Nick is trying to stop her, because he still wants a kid. Nick also claims in his lawsuit that Sofia physically abused him four times during their relationship . . . punching him in the face twice, kicking him once and throwing her phone at his head. She was also verbally abusive. A source close to Sofia denies the abuse, and says Nick only wants one of their kids so he can get CHILD SUPPORT from her.
V. STIVIANO was ordered to return $2.6 million in cash and property given to her by former L.A. Clippers owner DONALD STERLING. Sterling's wife SHELLY had sued Stiviano for $3.6 million worth of stuff. She says Stiviano seduced Donald into giving it to her from their shared funds.
GWYNETH PALTROW may have already broken her pledge to live on $29 dollars this week. She was spotted at an $80-a-plate dinner.
4/15/15 Billy Joel Going to be a Dad
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, April 15, 2015
At 65 years of age, BILLY JOEL is going to be a dad again. He and his 33-year-old girlfriend Alexis Roderick sailed the RIVER OF DREAMS without a lifejacket, so to speak, and the result will arrive sometime this summer. This will be Billy's SECOND child. His daughter ALEXA RAY JOEL is 29 . . . basically the same age as Roderick. Alexa's mom is Billy's ex-wife CHRISTIE BRINKLEY. "People" magazine says Roderick is an accomplished equestrian and a former Morgan Stanley executive. She's been with Billy since 2009.
TOM HANKS' wife RITA WILSON has revealed that she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and underwent a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery last week. The cancer was caught when she went in for a second opinion, after the pathology on an initial test showed no cancer.
A video surfaced yesterday of RIHANNA partying with some friends, and it LOOKS like she's SNORTING COKE. You can see her holding something that looks like a straw, and a few seconds later, she's squeezing her nose. But Rihanna supposedly fought back against someone who accused her of snorting, by claiming the only substances she was enjoying were marijuana and tobacco.

Nah, it's pretty good, although the fact that its drawn from the movie frames (i'm assuming here) might make it look less valuable for other people, rather then if you made those scenes up.
You do have a problem that i also have. instead of putting on the right colors you right away, you glaze on top with lower opacity until you get the right color. As a result you get low contrast and overexposed feel to them. Look at Craig's work in digital gallery, see how he does it. And the last thing the guy on the top doesn't look much like Cruise, he rather looks like Haance (probably spelled that wrong) from Die Hard.

When a humanitarian crisis strikes, international members of the Red Cross movement (including the Red Crescent) are there to help.
Jean Henri Dunant, a Swiss businessman, founded the movement after his life was forever changed witnessing and recalling the Battle of Solferino in 1859. Dunant was awarded the Noble Peace Prize in 1901 along with Frédéric Passy who helped found a French peace movement.
Whether you want to feed your body and spirit by starting a yoga practice, improve the look of your closet, or need some tax tips, Fresh City Life My Branch has something for you this week.
Start off by getting up to speed on the Denver Public Library's new catalog, Polaris on Wednesday, March 16 at 6:00 at the Ross-Cherry Creek Branch. Find out about keeping track of your reading history, placing holds, and other fabulous features!
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? I'll be honest, I am not much for wolfing down a bowl of cereal and heading off to work with milk spilled on my shirt. In fact, I am simply not hungry until late morning and then I want something salty and substantial. Or creamy and sweet. Or both- and brunch is just the thing.
For me, the quintessential part of a good brunch is hollandaise sauce. Once the sauce is made and eggs are handy, endless variations on the classic Eggs Benedict are inevitable. I like mine with spinach and smoked salmon in place of the traditional Canadian bacon. A bagel half or slice of toast can easily be swapped for the English muffin. Herbs and sauteed vegetables can be served on top or on the side, of course with a healthy dose of hollandaise. And if your sauce separates? No problem, give it a quick whisk and pour it on.
If you would have told me ten years ago that The Orb, who have never been shy about their art-rock and psychedelic leanings, would collaborate with David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, I would have said "Yeah, I wish!"......well, I guess the Gods of Ambient grooves were listening because my wish just came true.
If you grew up listening to Pink Floyd or stealing your dad's Pink Floyd records like I did then you know the gigantic footprint that they left -and are still leaving- on the music industry. Spanning over decades, it is safe to say they have amassed an army of fans and influenced many composers and musicians as well, one of those being LX Patterson of The Orb.
How do you measure your 24 hours? Horology, the art and science of measuring time, has kept horologists like watchmakers and clockmakers busy for centuries.
While in the stacks I discovered a comprehensive work on Breguet time pieces. Abraham-Louis Breguet (1747–1823) has been called the father of modern horology due to the mechanical advancements and inspired craftsmanship he employed in his designs. I won't give up my high school Timex but I sure can appreciate Breguet's work.
Curious about other titles featuring the best of horological advances and the physics of time? These titles will get you started:
Indie fans, do you ever feel like your favorite music genre has become so mainstream that it's not Indie anymore? If you're looking for the most independent Indie out there, look no further than your own backyard. Local bands all over the country represent where this music got its start.
Tagged on their website as experimental Indie rock electronica, local act Pan Astral sticks out from the crowd, blending ethereal vocals with integrated chaos in rhythms that range from trippy to poppy. The subtlest hints of rock, grunge, psychedelic, 80s synth pop, trance, and even folk country somehow all find their way into these meandering streams of notes. If you're 18 or older, catch them at the Hi-Dive this Thursday, March 10 with Lamp! and &One.
Join the Fairmount Heritage Foundation on Sunday, March 13, 2 p.m. at the Schlessman Family Branch to celebrate Women's History Month.
Learn about the women, well-behaved and not, who have made history in Colorado. Fairmount volunteers Joan & Garry O'Hara will be your guides for this slide show through the history of Colorado's notable women.

Check our catalog for all those new titles you have been waiting for and place your holds. It will take us several days to enter our backlog of orders. If you don't see a title right away please check again in a day or two.
For all you library geeks who are wondering what's been going on behind the scenes during the past month? Libraries send the majority of their orders directly to library vendors via EDI (electronic data interchange). Our integrated library system (Polaris) has to talk to a number of different vendor databases. On the vendor end the data we transmit tells them how many copies we want, which branches they will go to and how the item should be processed and cataloged.
Born on this day in 1964, Academy Award Winner Juliette Binoche has been enchanting audiences on screen for 3 decades.

Good location and a beautiful beach. Do not expect much in the amenity department. The linens are old and we had a lot of biting bugs in our unit. The staff is expetionally nice! I would recommend renting a car out of the airport not the village. What out for poisonwood on the island. It's not marked but you will regret it if you run into it!

SYDI-Server is a tool to help people create documentation for their Windows servers and clients. Information is gathered with WMI and with registry reads. It uses VBScript and produces output in MS-Word format or XML.
The biggest change for this version is the addition of a wrapper script which enables you to choose multiple hosts from a text file, Active Directory or NT Domain.
I also added IP routes which come from a WMI provider which was added in Windows XP. Previously I didnt want the script to se newer features but I added a version check before I use post Windows 2000 features. I will start looking closer at other XP and 2003 features which might be useful to have.
Changes from last version:
- Added Wrapper script to scan multiple computers (rfe:1032817)
- Added IP routes for XP and 2003 (-wi, rfe:1118972)
- Fixed a bug when targeting localhost as non admin user (1116292)
- Fixed a bug concerning document creation in word (1112733)

Uncertain Future
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
- June 16, 1998: Sec. Rice discusses events in Nigeria.
- June 9, 1998: General Abacha dies in Nigeria.
- June 4, 1997: The Nigerian military gets involved in the situation in Sierra Leone.
- June 12, 1996: A discussion on Nigeria's repressive military regime.
- Nov. 11, 1995: A report on the execution of activist Ken Siro-Wiwa.
MARGARET WARNER: Yesterday, Moshood Abiola, the most prominent opposition figure in Nigeria, died unexpectedly. He was stricken while meeting with US Undersecretary of State Thomas Pickering to discuss his imminent release from jail, where Abiola had been imprisoned by Nigeria's military government shortly after winning the 1993 presidential election. Government doctors said yesterday he suffered a heart attack. A heart attack was also the reported cause of death last month of the country's military ruler, Sani Abacha.
We have a report on the reaction to Chief Abiola's death from Lindsey Hilsum of Independent Television News.
LINDSEY HILSUM: The mourners are bewildered, suspicious, and angry, as well as racked by the grief. In Nigeria there's always talk of people being poisoned. And recent years of military rule have seen many political murders. Hundreds came to sign the condolence book. Western pathologists are on their way to do an autopsy. But mourners say Chief Abiola looked healthy when Chief Anyoko of the Commonwealth saw him last week and this wasn't a heart attack.
KAYODE FAYEMI, Opposition Activist: How common? They saw him last week. Chief Anyoko graciously provided photographs of Chief Abiola last week. He was in broad smiles. He was in good health. Nothing happened to him in four years under the vicious regime of General Abacha. And all of a sudden-I mean people are dying of heart attacks.
LINDSEY HILSUM: But Chief Abiola was in poor health. In 1995, his American doctor said he had high blood pressure and was at risk of a stroke or a myocardial infarction, a heart attack. Just three weeks ago, physicians for human rights warned the chief was suffering from life-threatening conditions, which, if untreated, would be fatal.
HAFSAT ABIOLA, Moshood Abiola's Daughter: It's either because of the medical neglect-my father has now suffered a heart failure, or that they poisoned him, and he's dead. Either case, it's their complete responsibility.
LINDSEY HILSUM: Last night's riots in Lagos left about a dozen people dead. This morning's demonstrations were more peaceful, but democracy supporters may not expect the commonwealth secretary-general's idea that Nigeria's military leader, Gen. Abubakar, should be given six months to restore democracy. In the address he's just given the nation, Gen. Abubakar said they were on the brink of releasing Chief Abiola, but his words were vague. He said nothing specific about releasing other political prisoners or stepping down.
GEN. ABDULSALAM ABUBAKAR, Head of State, Nigeria: I have resolved to address these challenges in an organized, deliberate, and orderly fashion, always putting the highest national interest before all else. Chief Abiola would have contributed his own quota to this process.
LINDSEY HILSUM: With no timetable for the ruling military council to resign, Nigerians remain fearful that Chief Abiola's death may mark the death of their hopes for a rapid return to democracy.
MARGARET WARNER: Joining us now are Chief Abiola's daughter, Hafsat Abiola. She founded the Kudirat Institute for Nigerian Democracy, named for her mother, Kudirat, who was killed in 1996. And Walter Carrington, who was the US Ambassador to Nigeria from November 1993 until October 1997. He's now a resident fellow at Harvard University's WEB DuBois Institute for Afro-American Research. We invited Nigerian embassy officials to participate, but they declined.
First, Ms. Abiola, my deepest sympathies on the loss of your father.
HAFSAT ABIOLA, Moshood Abiola's Daughter: Thank you.
Hafsat Abiola: "We're holding the military completely responsible. My father died under their custody. They were responsible for his welfare. They have failed my family. They have failed the country."
MARGARET WARNER: Do you have any new information on what caused his death?
HAFSAT ABIOLA: What I know I gathered from my family members that saw my father a night before he was killed. From all indications-my family had not been allowed to see him for maybe two years-and a night before he died, they were allowed to see him for two hours. They were panicked at his condition. He was critically ill. His words were incoherent. And the next day-the military didn't provide a doctor then-and the next day my father went in to see the US State Department delegation, and he collapsed. It is clear to me that maybe my father was ill the night before, but the military should have provided a doctor the night before, or, you know, they should have provided a doctor for all the years that he's been in solitary confinement in Nigeria, which they refused to do. So it's either a case-a clear case of medical neglect or they poisoned him, and they caused him to die the next day in front of the US State Department delegation, so that it would look like there was no foul play.
MARGARET WARNER: Ambassador Carrington, does the family of Chief Abiola have reason to be suspicious?
WALTER CARRINGTON, Former U.S. Ambassador, Nigeria: Well, when you are dealing with a military government that has kept a prisoner in the kind of isolation that Chief Abiola has been kept in and which continually refuse any kind of appeal to allow him to have outside medical help, then I think one has to be suspicious and worried about what happened.
MARGARET WARNER: Ms. Abiola, General Abubakar tonight did announce that international pathologists are coming in to assist in the autopsy from the US, I believe, Britain and Canada. Is that what the–I know that's what the family was asking for. Does that satisfy you, that you're going to get an honest autopsy report?
HAFSAT ABIOLA: Yes. At least we will know whether he was poisoned. But even if we find that he was not poisoned, we're holding the military completely responsible. My father died under their custody. They were responsible for his welfare. They have failed my family. They have failed the country. They-we've always known that they were traitors and that they could not-they were not working in the national interest, but now it is clear.
MARGARET WARNER: Ambassador Carrington, turning today to the riots that were in Lagos and elsewhere throughout Nigeria, what's your view of what's behind them? The rioters have an agenda, or this is just a spontaneous outbreak of grief? Help us understand the riots today.
WALTER CARRINGTON: Well, I think it is a result of real frustration. They had looked forward to the release of Chief Abiola. And then for him to die on the eve of his supposed freedom I think caused great consternation; however, as bad as the riots were, it seems to me they were nothing like they might have been had this happened while Abacha was still alive. I think that there has been tremendous frustration building up in the Southwest of the country. They feel that they are under-
MARGARET WARNER: Excuse me. Where Chief Abiola was from.
WALTER CARRINGTON: Yes. The Southwest part of the country, the Aruba part of the country, which is Chief Abiola's homeland. They have felt for a long time that they have almost been under foreign occupation with the armed forces there, many of whom are from the North. And I think that the sudden death of Chief Abiola was sort of the last straw, and I think that these were spontaneous eruptions of showing the real depth of feeling that people in that part of the country have.
MARGARET WARNER: Do you agree with that assessment?
HAFSAT ABIOLA: Yes. When my father won the election in 1993, it was the first case of a person from the Southwest of the country being elected to be president of Nigeria. Before that time, all the military rulers that we've had, all the civilian presidents that we've had have come from the North. When we got-we were first colonized by the British, they put together ethnic nations of different histories, languages, and cultures.
And the whole idea of Nigeria-what we've been testing since 1960, the time of our independence, is can we make Nigeria work for all-when my father won that election and the military leadership, most of whom come from the North, cancel the election results. They were saying to the people, no, Nigeria does not belong to all of you, even they were saying to the people of the North-told my father that Nigeria does not even belong to them, that they-the military leadership-own the country. With my father's death it is now clear to us that it is either that Nigeria belongs to all or to none, and those demonstrations we can expect will continue until the military steps down in terms of other government to the people.
MARGARET WARNER: Do you agree, Mr. Ambassador, that these demonstrations are going to go on, that they're going to put pressure on the government?
WALTER CARRINGTON: Well, I think there's a very good possibility of that. Remember, back in 1994, right after Chief Abiola was arrested, there were demonstrations and general strikes that went on for eight weeks and almost brought the government down until Gen. Abacha intervened with overwhelming force. This kind of thing could happen again, especially if the results of the autopsy are not accepted by the population or if the results show foul play. Then there is no telling what will happen. It's sort of like a wildcat strike. They have seen the removal of the one personality that can unite the Yorba nation and who could speak to them and whom they could negotiate. Now he is no longer there. It is going to be very difficult for them now to negotiate with that part of the country.
MARGARET WARNER: Ms. Abiola, do you see anyone positioned to take on your sort of father's mantel both with the Yorba tribe but also with the country and opposition movements in the country?
HAFSAT ABIOLA: No, because my father was the one chosen by the people of my country all over the country to be president. He was the one that said give the military this message that power belongs to us. He went into the prison. He gave them the message. He was consistent. He never renounced the mandate given to him by the people of my country, and the military in response killed him.
MARGARET WARNER: Staying with you for a minute, Ms. Abiola, what do you think this current government needs to do now to keep these disturbances from spinning out of control?
HAFSAT ABIOLA: They should pack up their bags and go back to the barracks where they belong. Gen. Abubakar was chosen by a 15-member provisional ruling council at 4 AM in the morning, while the country slept. The people were not consulted-that this is not the man-he should go. The pro-democracy movement is there and can speak for the people of Nigeria.
MARGARET WARNER: Mr. Ambassador, what do you think the government should do now?
WALTER CARRINGTON: Well, I think Hafsat Abiola has put it very well. That's what in an ideal situation ought to happen, but if that does not happen, then it seems to me that they have got to go ahead with their promise to release the prisoners. I cannot understand-
MARGARET WARNER: The other political prisoners-
WALTER CARRINGTON: The other political prisoners who are still there-I cannot understand why they are not releasing-I could not understand why Chief Abiola was not released, if not immediately after Abubakar took power, certainly after the meeting with Kofi Annan, and the fact that they kept him in prison, it seems to me, makes them accessories in his death.
MARGARET WARNER: And how committed do you believe General Abubakar is to a transition to civilian rule? I mean, he did talk about that tonight in his address.
WALTER CARRINGTON: Yes, this is the great paradox. I have known Gen. Abubakar and I still believe that he is the one member of the serving military who is really committed to returning the military to the barracks. I think the problem now for him is that he is finding all kinds of pressures from the hard-liners who were-who served under Gen. Abacha. I think it is a very good sign that he has sacked the old cabinet of Gen. Abacha, but the Abacha loyalists remain deep into the civil service, in some of the foreign missions, all throughout the country, and he has to, it seems to me, remove these people so that he can get people who believe the way I think he still believes that the military ought to get back to the barracks as soon as possible.
MARGARET WARNER: Do you share that assessment of General Abubakar?
HAFSAT ABIOLA: All I know is that my father died while General Abubakar was leading the country. He's responsible, as far as I'm concerned, whatever anyone says. You know, people expected my father to be released on Thursday. General Abubakar was not released then. He kept on stalling. Why? And on the eve of his release my father dies. I blame him for it.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. Thank you both very much.
HAFSAT ABIOLA: Thank you.

Upgrading of Low-Rank Coals
Combined reserves of subbituminous coal and lignite (known as "brown coal" in the international coal trade) make up approximately one-half of the world coal reserves and about one-half of the coal resources of the United States. These coals are rarely processed before shipment or use. However, the oxygen and moisture contents of low-rank coals are greater than those of bituminous coals. This reduces the heating value of the coal as mined, which increases the transportation cost on a heating value basis and reduces the thermal efficiency of the steam boilers that use these coals. Most lignite mined in the United States is used in minemouth plants. Subbituminous coals, however, are generally transported considerable distances, so their high moisture content and low heating value add to the effective transportation cost and environmental impact. One way to offset these disadvantages is to dry the coal before transportation or utilization.
Numerous processes for drying low-rank coals to upgrade them have been proposed, demonstrated (e.g., Great River Energy Lignite Drying Process; Bullinger et al., 2006), and in a few cases, commercialized (e.g., K-Fuels Process; Kowalski, 2005). The characteristics of dried low-rank coal—it is friable, has a tendency to spontaneously heat, and readily reabsorbs moisture—constitute major obstacles that must be overcome to produce a saleable, transportable, dry coal product.
the severity of diseases, disasters, fatal accidents, and nonfatal accidents—the health and safety of miners remain a major concern for government, industry, and labor. As the coal mine disasters in early 2006 demonstrated (MSTTC, 2006), the safe operation of mines remains a major challenge—there needs to be constant monitoring and control of health and safety threats as well as continuous safety training and improvements in operating practices.
Past experience has shown that changes in mining operations or practices (e.g., introduction of new equipment and systems, mining of virgin areas, infusion of new workers) all have the potential to create a more hazardous environment. Similarly, experience has shown that adequate engineering controls and a knowledgeable workforce are the prerequisites for a safer work environment. Continued health and safety research is needed to identify new hazards and hazard sources as well as to improve the engineering controls for existing hazards, particularly through the development of reliable monitoring and intelligent control systems. The likelihood of deeper mines in the future means that there has to be increased attention to methane control (including methane capture before, during, or after mining), dust control, ignition sources, fires, and explosions. Recent disasters have shown that there are major knowledge gaps and technology needs in the areas of escape and survival, and emergency preparedness and rescue, emphasizing the need for research to develop systematic and comprehensive

As of Friday, June 7, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- American Harris English spectacularly holed out with an eight-iron to eagle the par-4 fifth on the way to an early two-shot lead in Friday's second round of the St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tenn.
The 23-year-old, seeking his first PGA Tour title after playing his rookie season on the U.S. circuit last year, fired a 6-under 64 in good scoring conditions at the TPC Southwind to take control of the tournament.
One of six players tied for the lead overnight after opening with a 66, English also recorded five birdies and a lone bogey at the par-4 18th, where he missed the fairway off the tee, to post a 10-under total of 130.
PGA Tour rookie Shawn Stefani was alone at 8-under after carding a 65, with fellow American Paul Haley II (68) another three strokes back.
Defending champion Dustin Johnson was among a group of six players knotted at 3-under after returning a 70 in the final PGA Tour event before next week's U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa.
English made a barn-storming start with birdies on his first three holes, then got to 5-under for the round when he holed out from 170 yards at the fifth.
"One, two and three are some of the easiest holes out here and to make birdies on those jump-started my round, it really got me going," English said.
"I was hitting the ball well and my speed on the greens was really good. I was just trying to keep it going."
The American, who covered his back nine in 1-under 34, readily conceded he had been very fortunate to eagle the par-4 fifth.
"That's probably one of the hardest holes on the golf course," English smiled. "I hit a nice three-wood off the tee and I had about 170 to the hole.
"I hit an eight-iron which landed 10, 12 feet short and it trickled in. It was pretty cool."
English, whose best PGA Tour finish was a tie for fifth at last year's Crowne Plaza Invitational, said he was steadily learning how to contend on professional golf's most competitive circuit.
"It's really about getting comfortable out here and getting comfortable with the lead and around the lead," he said. "I am hopefully starting to grow into that.
"This is only my second year out here so I am learning from every round and every shot, trying to get better every day."
Four-time major champion Phil Mickelson improved on his opening 71 with a 67 to end the day eight shots off the pace, one stroke better than Irishman Padraig Harrington (70).
"I made a couple of dumb mistakes, and I think that's why I enjoy the competing element before a big event like the U.S. Open next week," Mickelson said after a four-birdie display.

I don't think there's one DLC for Fallout 3 that I didn't love... They were all just so good. New Vegas' DLC was a bit hard to follow though.

Really? Playing New Vegas complete with DLC is like, in my top five gaming experiences.
#248 to #245 - departed (02/12/2014) [-]
I really only liked Old World blues, Honest Hearts was really just meh. I never cared for Cesar's legion or their lore very much Well, Cesar himself was kind of interesting but I rest my case. . Lonesome Road just didn't make any sense to me, I should probably replay it again and do some more research so I'm not saying it's bad I just didn't get it. Dead Money was just terrible, incredibly boring and frustrating. Keep in mind this is just my opinion and that I don't think New Vegas is a bad game, in fact I think it's really good! I just don't think the DLC matched up to the standard of Fallout 3.
#249 to #248 - tombombadil (02/12/2014) [-]
That's really interesting to me, because I felt like New Vegas had a more solid DLC experience. Of course, I looked into the lore A LOT, and I watched really carefully for the way everything connected A LOT, so for me the real kicker was seeing how these seemingly un related journeys all came together and solidified the plot in a way that was really impressive.
I guess the real difference is probably just the fact that the lore around New Vegas still fascinates me to this day. That said, Fallout 3 is more fun than a barrel of monkeys in its own right, and when I get around to playing it in its heavily modded form soon, I shall bask in its undying glory.

#250 to #249 - departed (02/12/2014) [-]
I see where you're coming from. I'm just more interested in the Vault Tec lore and pre war stuff, the New Vegas tribes and such don't really peak my interest. I hope they can really make a solid combination of what's good in Vegas, and 3 to make a truly epic game that serves the franchise justice.
#251 to #250 - tombombadil (02/12/2014) [-]
That's how I'm feeling too. I think I need to really revisit Fo3 so I can better appreciate it, now that I have a more complete understanding of the fallout universe. I mean, they have some phenomenal ingredients to work with right now. The more they can make the past of the universe tie into the present of the game, the better it will be.
#208 to #176 - deathleprechaun (02/12/2014) [-]
Personally I likes Dead Money, but I haven't finished Old World Blues. It's been pretty fun but it takes so damned long to get through it.
#179 to #176 - fitemeirlbro (02/12/2014) [-]
yea old word blues is fun i like the robots in the sink and the sonic emitter is awesome i like the robo scorpion upgrade the FIDO is awesome too

USI debuts new logos at campus fashion show | GALLERY
EVANSVILLE - If you've had the same look since 1985, it's probably time for a make-over. And after the makeover, why not debut your new image in a big way?
That was the line of thought that prompted the University of Southern Indiana to have a fashion show Wednesday in Carter Hall to roll out the school's new branding campaign. The brand includes a family of new logos for both academic and athletic use — and, eventually, a new version of costumed mascot character Archie the Eagle.
In the new academic logo, the "I" in USI forms the handle of a torch that is meant to symbolize knowledge. The athletic logo shows the Screaming Eagles mascot head, in a more detailed and tough-looking rendering than the previous logo.
The university let its hair down for the event that featured upbeat popular music and a parade of students, faculty and staff sporting a variety of logo-branded items:
Custodian Willie Dortch, sporting a new logo on his work uniform, strolled the catwalk with a plant pal — a potted fern that's an offspring of campus fixture Laverne the Fern. Laverne formerly belonged to USI's first president, David Rice, and was donated to the university in 1969. As part of his duties, Dortch cares for Laverne and numerous other plants in USI's Wright Administration Building.
Members of USI's men's soccer team showed off their new uniforms, dribbling and passing soccer balls as they walked.
Dressed as a tourist, College of Liberal Arts Dean Michael Aakhus sported a T-shirt, fanny pack and straw hat emblazoned with the new logo.
Event emcee was Kindra Strupp, USI's assistant vice president for marketing and communications.
Hundreds of people showed up for the event, and Strupp encouraged the crowd to embrace the school's new look. "You are our brand ambassadors."
To help spread that message, the first 500 attendees received "swag bags" with branded T-shirts and other items.
Students Tyler White, a senior from Fishers, and Shelby Tarantino, a sophomore from Cincinnati, both said they liked the school's new branding, calling it more professional than the school's previous logos.
"It's a big step up," White said.
White and Tarantino play on the school's soccer teams. The two said that the new athletic logo, and the rules about its use, will help unite USI's teams under a common look.
USI's previous athletic logo, Tarantino said, had several components to it, and the school's various teams had taken pieces of that logo and created their own team logos.
The process of coming up with these symbols was more involved than you might assume, Strupp said during an interview with the Courier & Press last week.
"If you're going to distill an entire organization down into a single visual image, how do you do that?" Strupp asked.
USI hired Rickabaugh Graphics of Gahanna, Ohio, a graphic design firm that specializes in collegiate branding and has done work for Western Kentucky University, Marquette University, the University of Wisconsin and others.
USI did numerous surveys and focus groups to come up with ideas about what the school is, how it sees itself and what it wants to be in the future, Strupp said.
"It was really important for us to think of, 'What do we stand for?'" Strupp said.
From the information USI gathered, Rickabaugh Graphics owner Eric Rickabaugh came up with more than 40 possible academic logo designs. Some of the ideas included physical landmarks such as Rice Library and the University Center's distinctive cone structure.
"We looked at everything," Strupp said.
USI settled on the torch icon, Strupp said, noting it's a sophisticated image that's symbolically associated with knowledge and learning.
Strupp said USI was quicker to decide on its athletic logo, which will be featured on team uniforms and other sports-related uses.
Rickabaugh said the USI project was a bit unusual because of the school's heavy focus on the academic logo.
In general, Rickabaugh said, college branding is "very different and it's very challenging" as compared to other types of branding work.
Rickabaugh also created some new concepts for Archie. The school has narrowed its choices down to two, and it will host an online contest during which people can vote for their favorite version.
That contest should launch in the next week or so, Strupp said.

A Message from the Interim Chancellor
Welcome to Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS). Over the last 20 months, I have been privileged to lead the complex integration process that has joined most of the units of the former University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey with Rutgers. As chair of the RBHS chancellor search committee, I can share with you my excitement regarding the appointment of Brian L. Strom as the inaugural chancellor of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, effective December 2, 2013. As we await the arrival of the new chancellor, Rutgers president Robert L. Barchi has asked me to continue to work with RBHS in the capacity of interim chancellor. I am honored to assume this temporary role to ensure a smooth transition until the new chancellor is in place.
There is so much to look forward to as we enter this new era for health care and health education in New Jersey. As an integrated institution, we will strengthen our collaborations and improve our competitiveness for federal research dollars, solidifying Rutgers' position among the country's top public research universities. Our new structure will expand educational opportunities to make programs more accessible to students through expansion and development of new interprofessional training and interdisciplinary degree programs.
In health care services, we will work to create a new, more powerful, integrated patient-centered delivery system that will benefit citizens throughout New Jersey. We will do this by building institutional partnerships, breaking down departmental barriers, and enhancing cooperation across disciplines so that we can optimize health care delivery and work to reduce health care costs.
We also will work to strengthen and expand public-private partnerships by creating an integrated research enterprise that will encourage collaborations among academia, industry, foundations, and government agencies. Research scientists and clinicians will be incentivized to drive innovation and development of new medical treatments from bench to bedside quickly and efficiently. We are building sustainable economic models so that the new partnerships will spur economic growth and create new jobs in the state.
Building on our strengths, Rutgers will earn its rightful place among the nation's top-tier academic medical centers and research universities.

Chinese Government-Condemned The Bus Stop at Sanford Meisner Theatre
We New Yorkers take profound delight in disparaging the MTA, but however bungled our transport, none of us has ever spent years waiting for a bus. That lengthy delay afflicts eight citizens in Gao Xingjian's 1983 play, The Bus Stop, which the Chinese government condemned as "spiritual pollution." As the years roll past, those standing in line debate the best course of action: return, walk on, or continue to wait.
The play is less than scintillating, though that may accord to Shiao-Ling Yu's translation or Theatre Han's production, directed by Samantha Shechtman. Some of the actors seem underrehearsed and unsure as to whether they're embodying stereotypes or playing fully realized characters. Fear of censorship perhaps led Gao to prefer generalisms and metaphor—the symbolism of that absent bus comes to seem limited and strained. However, the few genuinely Chinese details are welcome, as when one character insults another, saying, "Go jump in a river and let the turtles eat you." Though written in homage to Samuel Beckett, the play displays some signal differences, particularly its belief in the human capacity for change. As in Waiting for Godot, several characters toward the play's end call out, "Let's go." But here, they do!

Press release from Marketwire
Avalon Announces New Senior Management Appointment and Provides Update on Nechalacho Feasibility Study
Monday, March 26, 2012
Avalon Announces New Senior Management Appointment and Provides Update on Nechalacho Feasibility Study09:28 EDT Monday, March 26, 2012TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 26, 2012) - Avalon Rare Metals Inc. (TSX:AVL)(NYSE Amex:AVL) ("Avalon" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on progress on the Nechalacho rare earth elements feasibility study, Thor Lake, NWT, and to announce the appointment of Mr. Tim Butler as Vice President, Human Resources. NECHALACHO FEASIBILITY STUDY UPDATEWork on the Feasibility Study ("FS") on the Nechalacho rare earth elements project, being carried out by SNC-Lavalin, is progressing steadily and remains on target for completion at the end of 2012. Project permitting is also now proceeding on schedule and it is anticipated that the necessary permits will be in place to allow construction activities to begin in mid-2013. Negotiations toward reaching formal accommodation agreements with local Aboriginal groups are nearing completion. The 40 tonne full scale pilot plant trial on Basal Zone ore was completed in February at SGS Minerals, Lakefield, Ontario. While final reports are pending, the two main objectives of the pilot plant were achieved. The primary objective was to produce a concentrate for the hydrometallurgical pilot plant and six tonnes of concentrate were successfully produced.The second objective was to confirm previous flotation testwork results and identify opportunities for process optimization. Initial results indicate that the recoveries achieved were consistent with those achieved previously at the bench-scale, except for one sub-sample from the lowermost part of the Basal Zone where, as expected, observed textural differences in the ore resulted in reduced recoveries. Further work on the process flowsheet is required to optimize the recoveries from this material. The pilot plant trial also identified opportunities to simplify the reagent scheme and reduce costs.A follow up flotation pilot plant trial on a two to three tonne sample has been scheduled for May 2012, with the objective of finalizing plant design parameters for the FS. The results of the SNC-Lavalin prefeasibility study for the proposed separation plant are expected to be available in April 2012. The separation plant site selection process is also progressing. The Mineral Resource update to incorporate all the 2011 Nechalacho drilling data is being carried out by Roscoe Postle Associates, Toronto, ON, and is also expected to be finalized in April 2012.VICE PRESIDENT, HUMAN RESOURCESMr. Tim Butler has joined the Company as Vice-President, Human Resources to lead the resourcing requirements to advance the Nechalacho project through development, construction and operations. Mr. Butler is a senior human resources practitioner and has worked with some of the world's largest resource companies with international experience in Canada, USA, Australia and South America. Mr. Butler was most recently the Vice President, Human Resources - Business Unit Operations with the Mosaic Company, the world's leading producer and marketer of concentrated phosphate and potash, where he provided executive oversight for the delivery and execution of all strategic HR initiatives within Operations. Prior to Mosaic, Mr. Butler worked for the Iron Ore Company of Canada and for BHP Billiton where he was instrumental in staffing the Ekati operation in the Northwest Territories, Canada's first diamond mine. At Ekati, he negotiated and administered impact and benefits agreements with aboriginal organizations and governments, and established training and development plans to support a culture of excellence and safe performance at this world-class operation.Mr. Butler has been the Employer representative on the Board of Directors of NWT and Nunavut Workers' Compensation Board serving also as Chairman of the Policy Committee and member of the Executive Committee. He holds Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Bachelor of Commerce degrees. He also has a Graduate Certificate in Human Resources from Royal Roads University.Commenting on today's announcement, Don Bubar, President and CEO said, "We are pleased to add a professional of Tim's caliber to our management team. His prior experience in the Northwest Territories will be invaluable to Avalon as Tim thoroughly understands, and has worked through, the challenges in recruiting the required talent for a remote northern operation."

From Jerry Zgoda of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune on Twitter:
Spanish media contact tells me Ricky Rubio will hold a news conference tomorrow morning in Barcelona and announce he's headed to the NBA.via Twitter / @JerryZgoda: Spanish media contact tell ....
Rubio's been rumored to be on the way for a while. A June 1st report indicated the Wolves had reached an agreement with the Spanish star, and a separate report Thursday indicated his U.S. arrival was imminent. Getting Rubio stateside, under contract, and on the roster before the draft helps the Wolves with both the direction their draft takes and their leverage in deals surrounding their No.2 overall pick or any combination of talent on the roster. The idea has been for Love and Rubio to spearhead the future of the Wolves, with one other player. The No. 2 pick gives them the ability to select that player in Derrick Williams. Now all they need is for Rubio to actually be as good as he was projected to be back when he was drafted, despite a down year in Euroleague play for FC Barcelona.
Meanwhile, the AP reports that David Kahn and Kurt Rambis are meeting this week... for the first time since the season ended. With that kind of communication going on in the front office, how can Rubio and Williams not be excited about joining the Wolves?

Crosstown Expressway, Weber Road expansion plans in the works
CORPUS CHRISTI - Plans are in the works to make the commute down the Crosstown Expressway faster.
The Texas Department of Transportation is getting ready to turn the roadway into a freeway, complete with overpasses at Weber Road and J.C. Elliott Road. The freeway will have three lanes in each direction beginning at J.C. Elliott Road and across the Oso Creek Bridge.
The freeway will drop to two lanes in each direction through Farm-to-Market Road 43. The roadway will go down to one lane in each direction after that.
"I'm thrilled that they're going to be improving that intersection for the people screaming through there at 70 miles per hour, though I do think they need to reduce the speed limit," said Jack Hord, a Corpus Christi resident who has lived in the area for 20 years.
Hord was one of several area residents concerned about speeding motorists on Weber Road, which becomes FM 43, and the Crosstown Expressway at a meeting with the state to discuss the expansion of Weber Road on Tuesday night. There is a four-way stop at the intersection.
Christopher Amy, environmental coordinator for the Texas Department of Transportation, said a speed zone study would be conducted after the project, but he couldn't guarantee any changes would result after the study.
"Reduction of speed to 55 miles per hour would be an easy and cheap solution to what I consider a very dangerous intersection," Hord said.
According to Tom Tagliabue, spokesman for the Texas Department of Transportation, the project has been on the Transportation Improvement Plan since the 1980s. The $28.1 million project is scheduled to begin construction during summer 2013. Funding is 80 percent federal and 20 percent from the state through the Corpus Christi Metropolitan Planning Organization. The project is slated to take two years to complete.
At the same time, the Texas Department of Transportation is scheduled to begin expanding Weber.
The $8.2 million project is expected to get environmental clearance by the end of the year and to be contracted at the beginning of 2013, along with the Crosstown Expressway expansion.
The first step is a stoplight at Yorktown Boulevard, which should be in place in the next few months. The contract has already been awarded.
Weber will be expanded to two lanes in each direction and a turning lane from Yorktown to Crosstown. The Oso Creek Bridge also will be expanded and lengthened to 120 square feet to allow more room for water flow underneath. Both outer lanes will be 15 feet wide to accommodate bicyclists. The shoulder will be eliminated, but a sidewalk would be added. Construction is expected to take a year and a half.Hord said it's dangerous to put bicyclists out on the road without a shoulder. He often sees packs of cyclists on the weekend, and he suggested that a portion of the wider outside lanes be used for a dedicated bike lane.
The state is reviewing comments submitted by the public.
