Salted Superior Mixed Nuts: Cashews, Pecans, Almonds, Hazelnuts, Macadamia, Brazils, Peanut and/or Cottonseed Oil, salt. K
Unsalted Superior Mixed Nuts: Cashews, Pecans, Almonds, Hazelnuts, Macadamia, Brazils, Peanut and/or Cottonseed Oil. K
Cashews: Trying to slim down? You don�t have to give up your favorite cashews. Eating 1-2 ounces daily shouldn�t add to your waistline. Data from Harvard University�s landmark Nurses� Health study showed that participants who regularly ate nuts were thinner on average than folks who never ate nuts. The rich taste of nuts may keep hunger at bay longer and may help cut cravings. Cashews are cholesterol-free and high in protein. A great source of iron, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, and selenium, cashews have a lower fat content compared to other tree nuts.
Almonds: The perfect nut; one serving of almonds (approx. 28g or 1oz) has 13g of unsaturated fat and only 1g of saturated fat. They are high in potassium, calcium and iron. Almonds are a nutritionally dense food, meaning they pack a lot of fiber in a small package. In a 2009 Purdue University study found that the bioaccessibility of vitamin E and the good-for-you fats found in almonds increased significantly when participants chewed the nuts thoroughly, about 40 times per mouthful. Not only were more of the nutrients released and absorbed by the body, but the participants felt fuller faster and longer.
Hazelnuts: Hazelnuts (a.k.a. Filberts) may be a true �super food.� Decide for yourself: they have one of the highest known content of proanthocyanidin (PAC). PAC is a micronutrient with antioxidant capabilities 20 times more powerful than vitamin C, and over 50 times more potent than vitamin E. Hazelnut�s antioxidants bolster the body�s defense against free radicals, including those linked to several types of cancer and other serious diseases. Like all nuts, the nutrients in hazelnuts offer cardioprotective benefits, and make a wonderful addition to a heart smart diet when their monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are substituted for less-healthy saturated fats.
Pecans: Sixty-five percent of the oil in pecans is heart-smart monounsaturated oleic fatty acid. Texas A&M University researchers found that a diet high in this fat may be as effective as a low fat diet that�s high in carbohydrates. Pecans get their cholesterol-lowering super powers not only from fat, but from the presence of beta-sitosterol, a natural cholesterol-lowering compound. Vegetarians take note: pecans are high in protein, and one serving (about 1-2 oz) can take the place of an ounce of meat. Like hazelnuts, pecans have one of the highest levels of antioxidants.
Brazil Nuts: High in selenium, the content of Brazil nuts, unlike most plant-based food, is considered to be a complete protein. This means Brazil nuts, much like meat-based protein sources, have all of the necessary amino acids for optimal human growth. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant, and Brazil nuts have about 2,500 times as much selenium as other nuts. Increased intake of selenium has been tied to lower rates of cancer (particularly prostate cancer) and heart disease. The benefits don�t stop there. Brazil nuts are also high in zinc, a mineral that�s essential for proper digestion and metabolism.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Thursday Democratic leadership told the governor to move a television his staff placed outside of his office at the state house, inside his office. Claiming he was being censored, LePage said he's moving his office out of the state house.
Governor LePage said "I asked them can we have a TV outside the door? They said no. They have to be inside the office. So we're not going to do that."
Justin Alfond says it's about following the rules. "Every person who has walked through this institution has followed the rules. This governor has decided he doesn't want to play by the rules."
So why is this TV so important? The governor put it in the reception area outside his office to welcome visitors. But his message also includes the number of days since he's proposed a budget, the number of days since he proposed a payment plan to the state's hospitals... and the words "What's the hold up?"
According to the executive director of the legislative council, that space outside of the governor's office belongs to the legislature. And without the permission of the bi-partisan legislative council - no TV allowed.
Justin Alfond says it doesn't matter what the message is on the TV he says it simply shouldn't be there. Democratic leaders say the rule is there to keep the walls of the state house free of partisanship.
The governor calls it a violation of his first amendment rights. He thinks it's the message - not the medium - that Democrats are objecting to.
LePage says "It's not a tv situation. It's a first amendment situation. I don't care about TVs, but I do care that Democrats are trying to stifle the voices of the Maine people.
The governor's also upset that he wasn't allowed to speak at Sunday's appropriations committee meeting. So he says - he's moving out of the state house.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Wednesday, November 07, 2012
By Eric Brandner
Today it was a mound of dirt. But some day soon, it will feel like a home.
The USO broke ground on the USO Warrior and Family Center located on Naval Support Activity Bethesda, home of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., on Wednesday.
"We're building hope here and this is the beginning of that journey," USO President Sloan Gibson said. "Hope for our healing heroes and for their families.
"[This will be] a place where futures are planned and where they are launched."
The USO Warrior and Family Center in Bethesda will be a 16,217-square-foot home-away-from-home for America's wounded, ill and injured troops and their families and caregivers. The single-story building is designed to provide a place for USO Warrior and Family Care programs and activities addressing physical health and recreation, behavioral health, family strengthening and education, employment and community reintegration.
"Today we're starting on a mission, building an outstanding center that's going to be a place of healing and fellowship," said Navy Capt. Fritz Kass, the commander of Naval Support Activity Bethesda. "A place where families will come to nourish their bodies and their souls."
The center will be part of the most advanced medical campus in the military. The new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center opened last fall and features cutting–edge prosthetics and brain injury labs. Troops who arrive at the hospital in Bethesda are often suffering from both physical and emotional wounds of war.
"Many of [America's wounded, ill and injured troops] are even more exhausted and more tired. Perhaps that [emotional change] took place after three or four deployments," said Navy Surgeon General Vice Adm. Matt Nathan. "We see that in the stress of the families, we see that in the stress on the wounded and we need to be all-in, doing everything we can for their spiritual and emotional support."
The USO Warrior and Family Center at Bethesda was designed to feature three zones. The first zone – recreation and normalcy – provides gathering and social spaces for recovering troops, their families and caregivers. The second zone – respite – is designed to be a place for quiet contemplation. The third program zone – education and work – is a place where guests can receive individual support and guidance as they look to forge careers in the civilian workforce.
It will include the USO's state-of-the-art learning center, which will give troops and their families an opportunity to get a jump on their next steps in life.
The center will be surrounded by healing gardens, a sprawling botanical layout that is aimed at boosting both behavioral health – through the calming effect of the scenery – and physical rehabilitation via the paths and inclines where wounded, ill and injured troops can relearn to walk.
Gibson also announced Tuesday that a bust of Prescott Bush – father of former President George H.W. Bush and grandfather of former President George W. Bush – will be displayed in the lobby as a way to thank him for his leadership in the early days of World War II. Prescott Bush was a leading fundraiser for the USO and a proponent of the organization during its infancy, raising more than $210 million by the end of the war.
Gibson read a letter Tuesday from former President George H.W. Bush thanking the USO.
"The entire Bush family could not be more thrilled that the USO has decided to honor our father and grandfather this way," the letter said. "I have always been proud of his role in the founding of the USO but I thought it was a family secret. All these years later for this great man to be recognized for what he did for love of country means a great deal to me, my brothers and sister, and all his grandchildren – especially the one who became the 43rd President of the United States."
Of course, a center of this magnitude – and its sister USO Warrior and Family Center on Fort Belvoir, Va. – would not be possible without generous donors. Operation Enduring Care Co-Chair Ed Reilly went down the list of contributors that helped make these centers possible such as corporate donors like the Northrop Grumman Foundation, the Coca-Cola Foundation, the Anschutz Foundation, Charity Works, jcp cares and individual donors like former Ambassador Tim and Sue Timken and actor Charlie Sheen.
"When they step in [to the Bethesda center], we want them to think, 'America thinks I'm special,'" said General (ret.) Richard B. Myers, the chairman of the USO Board of Governors.

Inspired by Ralph Lauren's first New York flagship at 867 Madison Avenue, our newest timepiece collection merges modern design with Art Deco elegance
A vivid expression of Ralph Lauren's refined equestrian heritage
The rare engraving art of guilloché gives the Slim Classique its unmatched sophistication
The adventurous spirit of nautical and military design is combined with the finest Swiss-made movements
crafted entirely in switzerland by master artisans following the purest traditions of swiss watchmaking
An intimate portrait of a rare tradition
Astonishing in its beauty and precision, guilloché is one of watchmaking's rarest art forms. Engraved patterns interlace, creating lines often so fine that they are barely visible to the naked eye.
Created using a rose engine that dates back to the late 19th century, the unique guilloché pattern featured in the Ralph Lauren Slim Classique collection adorns the dial with a distinct barleycorn design made up of 80 waves circling from the outer edges to the center of the dial.
Each line is crafted by a master engraver, who skillfully controls the speed and pressure of the rose engine to ensure the flawless depth and symmetry of the pattern. Additional guilloché patterns frame the dial's Roman numerals and embellish the elegant bezel, representing traditional watchmaking excellence at its most exquisite.
Those few individuals with the patience, dexterity and passion necessary to master the craft are as rare a breed as the rose engines themselves. While at one time guilloché was a thriving art practiced by more than a thousand craftsmen in Switzerland, today the country has only four full-time guillocheurs.
In preserving and presenting the art of authentic guilloché, the Ralph Lauren Slim Classique collection evokes the rich history of some of the finest techniques of traditional watchmaking.
Ralph Lauren always has had a passion for watches and had aspired to enter the world of luxury watches for many years. In Richemont, he has found the perfect partner to help him realize his vision.
The collaboration between Ralph Lauren and Richemont represents more than a joint venture between two companies. It is a true partnership between two men—Ralph Lauren, chairman and chief executive officer of Ralph Lauren Corporation, and Johann Rupert, executive chairman of Richemont—who share the same passions for attention to detail and quality that are so important in the world of high-end watchmaking.
The Ralph Lauren Stirrup Collection
The Ralph Lauren Sporting Collection
The Ralph Lauren Sporting Collection
The Ralph Lauren Slim Classique Collection
Each extraordinary timepiece has a unique design that captures Ralph Lauren's signature sensibilities of luxury, glamour and timelessness. Authentic and refined, the watches are comprehensively designed and offered in white gold, rose gold, platinum and stainless steel. Many are embellished with brilliant diamonds.
Every timepiece resonates with Ralph Lauren's one-of-a-kind aesthetic and showcases exceptional finishes, intricate details and precise mechanical movements that are the ultimate in Swiss-made excellence.

An Open Letter from CEO on Changes to the Fairtrade System
You may have seen the joint statement on our website that Fair Trade USA (FTUSA) has decided to leave the global Fairtrade system and end its membership with Fairtrade International (FLO) as of 31 December 2011. (Read the Q&A here.)
I, the staff at Fairtrade International, and the entire global Fairtrade network sincerely regret FTUSA's decision to pursue its own approach, rather than continue working within the global system. It is a decision they have taken themselves, and we have to respect their choice.
But please be reassured that Fairtrade International and our members are as dedicated as ever to building a global Fairtrade system, and will work tirelessly with our partners and supporters to achieve this. We truly believe that we are stronger by working together.
Now that FTUSA is pursuing its own approach (see our response to this here) we are developing an operating model to ensure that all businesses and organizations that want to be a part of our global Fairtrade family can do so. But we also want to take stock, and listen to the views of our many stakeholders – producers, NGOs, companies, trade unions and the grassroots Fair Trade movement – to determine the best way to meet everyone's needs.
Our key concern is providing farmers and workers with continuing opportunities to improve their livelihoods. We remain firmly committed to the integrity of our multi-stakeholder model, and the unique, central role producers play in governance and decision-making bodies.
The FAIRTRADE Mark is the world's most widely recognized ethical certification mark and we believe that our producer-focussed approach is key to that success. Producers worldwide are not only valued for their opinion, but are co-owners in the Fairtrade system. In fact, in October we look forward to announcing exciting governance changes that will further strengthen the producer voice.
Our investment in one international Fairtrade label and a coherent single system have made our operations more efficient and cost-effective. Through our central organization and network of members, we're able to offer coordinated producer support (with regional offices and over 50 field officers), a set of internationally agreed Fairtrade Standards recognized by many as the "gold" standard, consistent trade audits, and a global system respected for its integrity.
Membership fees from our national Fairtrade organizations are invested where they are most needed, and that often means in the developing world. For example, last year 42 percent of Fairtrade International's budget was invested in services for producers, by far the greatest part spent in the south where it belongs. A further 11 percent was invested in creating new Standards and improving existing Standards. Our Producer Certification Fund provided quarter of a million Euros to help producers cover their certification costs. And we're investing in new markets for Fairtrade products, such as Brazil and South Korea.
In the coming weeks we will be listening to our stakeholders to work out future plans and how US-based partners can work more closely with the international Fairtrade system. You can also find out more in our Q and A section.
If you have any further questions or comments, please do drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to hearing your comments and views.
Finally, I should like to thank our many staff members, supporters and friends who have expressed their support and commitment to our international system and are dedicated to ensuring that we move on to an even better and more united movement that achieves our aim of trade justice for all.
Rob Cameron
CEO, Fairtrade International
PS Recent consumer surveys show that almost 6 in 10 people across 24 countries have seen the international FAIRTRADE Mark and recognition exceeds 85 percent in some markets. Keep an eye out for our full GlobeScan consumer survey results, to be released in October.

REMSEN Two weeks after Erin M. Hamlin made Olympic history, she returned Thursday night from Sochi, Russia, to her hometown of Remsen.
The 27-year-old is the first female American luger to medal in singles at any Winter Olympics, and the first American to medal in luge since the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City.
I cant imagine a better group of people to come home and share this with, Miss Hamlin told a gathering of hundreds at her alma mater, Remsen Junior-Senior High School. I love coming home and seeing so many familiar faces and a lot of new ones, which is just as exciting, too.
Before her arrival, a group of about 30 supporters gathered at a float made for the homecoming to cheer the athletes arrival, blaring music and dancing to keep warm in a 13-below-zero wind chill. As it approached, Miss Hamlins bus met a parade of emergency vehicles from every corner of Oneida County.
Well-wishers of all ages lined the route to the high school, waving signs and ringing cowbells many cowbells.
At the school a brief video highlighted Miss Hamlins Olympic performance, until she was welcomed by thunderous cheers. The school band led the audience in the national anthem and school song.
Oneida County Executive Anthony J. Picente Jr. declared the date Miss Hamlin earned her bronze medal, Feb. 11, as Erin Hamlin Day from this point on.
Erin belongs to us; she belongs to our county, he said. He presented her with an Oneida County flag, which she then draped herself in as she had done with the American flag after her Olympic win.
After presentations from state Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, Assemblyman Kenneth D. Blankenbush, R-Black River, and Oneida County Sheriff Robert M. Maciol, Miss Hamlin addressed the crowd and talked about her bronze medal.
I didnt really expect to be bringing this home, but it feels pretty awesome to do it, she said.
After the first day of racing and hearing everything and everyone was so pumped ... and the race wasnt even over yet ... made it easier, to be honest, she said. I was able to feel completely relaxed, no pressure at all, because I knew even if I didnt win and come home with a medal, Id be still excited.

Earth Day is this coming Sunday, so we've been thinking a lot about how we can support our planet and today's topic: eco-friendly fashion. In years past, uncovering stylish, environmentally-savvy clothing and accessories was often a trying task, but we're pleased to let you know that's simply not the case anymore. In fact, we've discovered a crop of first-rate designers and brands that embrace a sustainable approach to fashion and create gorgeous, thoughtful products you can feel good about wearing! From a hand-printed scarf made completely from bamboo fiber to the perfect all-organic cotton striped tee, we're truly excited about all of our eco-sensitive selections and you can be certain Mother Earth will approve of them too!
On the Market
Mar Y Sol Zadie Crocheted Backpack ($119) in Berry
If you think backpacks are solely for the schoolyard, perhaps this woven version by Mar Y Sol will change your mind! Handmade from crocheted raffia sourced from the Madagascar forests and featuring adjustable straps and a functional drawstring closure, this backpack is ideal for active weekend outings or strolling the local flea markets. Even better: Mar Y Sol's fair trade partnership with the artisans living in Madagascar helps support economic development and environmental conservation with every piece sold.
Sophie Monet Gilded Square Top Ring ($99)
Supporting up-and-coming designers has long been a passion of ours, so you can imagine our delight when we discovered Sophie Monet, the talented designer behind this must-have ring. "To keep the line sustainable, I don't let anything go to waste," Monet says. "I find inspiration from scraps, and every piece of jewelry begins with wood I already have available to me in my shop." Crafted from 22-karat yellow gold leaf and shedua wood, this bauble is the epitome of understated luxury and a sure statement piece. Slip it onto any finger, and you'll bring a touch of cool earthiness to your look.
The Battalion
During our search for noteworthy green apparel, we were delighted to come across The Battalion, an eco-friendly brand with a luxurious twist. Using dead stock, bamboo, recycled raw materials, and organic cotton, designer/founder Linda Wong creates remarkably soft, quality garments that not only reflect the latest trends, but a positive lifestyle too. The Battalion spring collection is made up of comfortable and versatile separates, like the Betty Bamboo Knit Top ($128, 516.277.2565) and Blake Lyocell Twill Jeans ($216) shown above, all of which can take you from day to night with ease.
Nepali by TDM Design Bambi Paisley Scarf ($125) in Silver Ash/Blueberry
This time of year usually calls for a few lightweight layers, so investing in a versatile scarf is always a good idea. That said, we think you should consider a sustainable option, like this gorgeous paisley print scarf by Nepali by TDM Design. It's made entirely of bamboo fiber and toxic-free dyes, so it's healthy for the environment, plus the vibrant blue print instantly punches up any look.
H&M Exclusive Conscious Collection Dress ($70)
H&M blew us away last year with the debut of their Conscious Collection, so naturally we were anxious to see what green designs the beloved retailer had in store for us this year! Red carpet-worthy frocks and tailored separates swathed in effervescent hues are among the collection's standout pieces, but our favorite design is without a doubt this sultry dress. The bold botanical print and body-con silhouette, which remind us of the Dolce & Gabbana S/S 12 runway, lends the dress a striking look made for hot summer nights.
Laura Lombardi Coil Bracelet ($84) in Brass
Great jewelry is often defined by craftsmanship and thoughtful details, both of which are apparent in this handmade bracelet by Laura Lombardi. Made from vintage and repurposed materials and featuring square brass beads and tiny rings, this is one conversation piece you'll never want to take off. We think it would look chic worn on its own or with a mix of colorful friendship bracelets and slim bangles.
Cri de Coeur Balance Ankle-Strap Sandals ($110) in Black/Leopard
With summer just a few months away, snagging the season's best sandals has become top priority for your WWW editors. First on our list are these ankle-strap sandals by Cri de Couer. We were immediately drawn to their kelly green and black color-block design, as well as the playful leopard-print front, but the fact that they are made from 100% vegan materials makes them all the more desirable. Consider them the perfect finish to all your swingy frocks and denim cutoffs.
NCLA Summer of '69 Nail Lacquers ($16) in Eight Days a Week, Hello I Love You, I'm With the Band
High-quality, earth-friendly nail polish can be hard to come by, so when we find a brand that produces toxin-free and cruelty-free lacquers, we feel it's important to spread the word. NCLA is one of those amazing brands, and we can't say enough good things about their range of fabulous, on-trend colors. Right now, we're all about the Summer of '69 collection, which features three must-try shades for spring and summer: a pretty powder blue, a brilliant berry (shown above), and a luscious coral. If you're like us and can't decide which color is your favorite, we suggest picking up all three today!
The Reformation Leroy Shorts ($155)
Fancy shorts may sound like an oxymoron, but believe it or not, they do exist and there are plenty of noteworthy styles on the market to prove it. Take, for example, The Reformation's Leroy Shorts, which are made entirely from vintage garments and dead stock fabrics. Woven with delicate lace inserts on either side, these breezy, lightweight tap shorts boast an elegant and chic look that, when paired with a silky top and strappy sandals, is suitable for any number of evening occasions. If you prefer a more casual daytime look, wear the shorts with a basic t-shirt, neutral sandals, and a straw hat.
Amour Vert Coco V-Neck Shirt ($55)
Even if you already own about a million striped tees, it definitely couldn't hurt to add another--they are a timeless wardrobe staple after all! Accordingly, we think you should pick up this long-sleeved version from Amour Vert. Made from all-organic cotton, which is grown free of toxic pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, it feels ridiculously soft and is one of those amazing perfectly worn-in shirts you'll want again and again. We like the idea of playing up the shirt's nautical theme by styling it with navy trousers and espadrilles.--Jessica Baker

These lucky people are climbing around a 22 feet (6.7 metres) tall structure composed of 384 softball bats, 130 soft balls and a couple of thousand pounds of steel. The structure represents a Sierpinski tetrahedron: a fractal which has finite volume but infinite area. The image only shows an approximation of the fractal of course, as it would be impossible to make a full-on Sierpinski tetrahedon with its infinite intricacy, but it's beautiful anyway!
The picture, designed by Gwen Fisher and engineered by Paul Brown, is one of the images that appears in the book 50 visions of mathematics, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.

This is one of friend of Plus Ahmer Wadee's favourites images from the book 50 visions of mathematics. It is of a demonstration at Imperial College in 1887 of the mathematical principles behind (or should that be underneath?) the Forth Bridge. The bridge was the largest spanning bridge in the world at the time and the technique behind it was an innovation, essentially balancing the forces involved using cantilevers. The men on the chairs (Sir John Fowler and Benjamin Baker) represent the piers of the bridge and the load on the bridge, in this case Kaichi Watanabe, one of the first Japanese engineers to study in the UK, is supported by the tension (in the men's arms and in the ropes to the anchors) and compression in the structure.
So, what holds up the Forth Bridge? Why, maths of course!

To mark Germany's historic win over Brazil in the World Cup semifinal this week, Lasse Rempe-Gillen (from the University of Liverpool) created this beautiful image. It shows the behaviour of a model that describes the phenomenon of phase-locking, something that can be seen in the synchronising flashes of fireflies or when a roaring stadium of football supporters gradually clap or stamp in unison. The image is related to recent research and you can read more in our news story Maths, metronomes and fireflies.
The grey parts of the image show where the model behaves chaotically – here even small changes in where you start can cause drastically different results in the model. The coloured parts of the image show where the model behaves in a more regular fashion where small differences won't dramatically change the results. This is because the model has attractors, special sets of conditions that create similar behaviour, either settling on a single outcome (called a fixed point) or running through a predictable cycle of outcomes. And in honour of the historic 7-1 score from the match, Rempe-Gillen's image has attractors of period 7 (with a repeating cycle of 7 points) and period 1 (a fixed point).
In contrast his image below has no periodic attractors, symbolising the other, goalless, semifinal between Argentina and Holland.

Sine, cosine, and tangent — we do love our trigonometric functions! So imagine our bliss when we recently came across a function we had never even heard of before. It's called the haversine and it's defined in terms of the sine function:
The dotted yellow line is an arc of a great circle. It gives the shortest distance between the two yellow points. Image courtesy USGS.
The term "haversine" apparently comes from "half versed sine". To see why this function is useful, put yourself in the shoes of an intrepid traveller setting out on a sea voyage from Liverpool to New York. The first thing you'd want to know is how far you will have to travel. Ignoring islands, rocks, currents and other inconvenient factors, let's say that you will travel along the shortest path between the two cities. We know that the shortest path between two points is along a straight line, but that fact doesn't help you here. The straight line that connects Liverpool and New York cuts right through the Earth and you are not about to dig a tunnel.
You need the shortest path on the surface of the Earth, which is roughly spherical. On a sphere the shortest path between two points is along an arc of a great circle: that's a circle drawn on the surface of the sphere which is centred on the same point as the sphere and has the same radius. Any two points lie on a unique great circle, which they divide up into two arcs. The shortest path between the points is along the shorter of these two arcs.
So how do you calculate this great circle distance between two points and on the Earth? First, recall that the locations of the two points are given by their latitudes, for which we will write and and their longitudes, which we will denote by and Write for the radius of the Earth, which is roughly km. The great circle distance between and comes from the formula
(where the angles are measured in radians).
Solving for gives
You'll admit that this isn't the simplest of formulae. If you were are a seafarer hundreds of years ago, armed only with sine and cosine tables to help you, working out the distance would prove pretty cumbersome. There's a square root to take, as well as the inverse of the sine function .... argh!
But now let's replace any expressions of the form by the haversine function. Expression (1) above becomes
The distance is now
Working out the great circle distance between two points is so important in navigation that people in the old days produced tables giving the values of the haversine function and also of the inverse of the haversine function. This made seafarers' lives a lot easier. Working out the distance only involved looking up two cosine values and two haversine values, adding and multiplying them in the correct way, looking up the inverse of the haversine function and multiplying by — done!
The reason why the haversine function has come out of fashion is that with the help of calculators and computers it's easy enough to work out the distance straight from formula (2). That's why you don't find a haversine button on your average calculator.
Let's give it a go. Liverpool has latitude and longitude , and New York has latitude and longitude . These are measured in degrees. Converting them into radians (multiplying by ) gives and for Liverpool, and and for New York (rounded to three decimal places) Plugging these into expression (2), with the radius of the Earth , gives a great circle distance of around 5313 km. Quite a way to go!

While I would love a special wedding day and pictures to look through and remember, I really never dreamed of a perfect wedding when I was growing up, and I don't know how to satisfy both feelings. I am a simple girl, and I don't need a big celebration. I don't want to start planning a special day so far in advance. I would rather spend the money on fixing up our house than blow it all on a dress, party and food. Even still, it would be nice, wouldn't it?
My family is small. I've lost some key members throughout the years and there are less than a handful of them left that would actually attend. My fiance's all live in the states or overseas and I almost feel as though it would be inconveniencing them to come up. Nevermind the fact that I've only met two of them.
Our friends aren't around anymore. They've either moved away to different parts of the world or just don't care enough to have relationships with us anymore. I haven't seen most of my closest friends in what seems like forever, and I question whether or not we even are friends anymore a lot of the time. How long do you need to go without seeing or speaking to someone before you realize they just aren't a true friend? No friends equals no bridesmaids, no support.
I have no one to walk me down the aisle.
While all of this shouldn't matter, it still hurts to think about. I know that looking into the eyes of my mister on that day should be enough and nothing else should cross my mind. I just can't help thinking about everyone I've lost when I think about the most important day of my life. A day they should have been there for.

I moved to Columbus from NYC 2 1/2 years ago. I went to 6 different stylists, all at salons that friends recommended and for some reason no one could color my naturally dark brown hair to the blonde shade that I had it. I ended up with neon orange hair and frustrated...I finally took more recommendation for a stylist, it was Brita at the Polaris location. Finally after 2 years I found someone that did my color perfectly. I trusted her so much that I let her chop off my very long hair into a bob. I have been going to her since and have recommended her to 2 more people. Love love love Brita!!

This young physician is the best! He is articulate, polite and knowledgable. I was so impressed with the care we received, I asked him where he went to school. He shyly told me Harvard, Stanford, and residency at Harvard. We need more doctors like Dr. Newman. If you take your child to Pacific Medical Center, you will be a lucky parent if Dr. Newman is on duty.

This review is from AVERY Business Card - Tall, 8 per sheet:
As a freelance designer/printer, I really don't use products like this because of the template issues stated in other reviews. However, if you have the ability, convert the template into vectors. Save the file from word as a PDF, then open it in a program like Adobe Illustrator or GIMP (free program like illustrator). This seemed to cause the fewest problems for me, and all you really need is the free trial of Illustrator and not use word at all.

I read all the glowing reviews, but after trying to use the template I found that it was not all that easy. I cannot believe I am the only person that finds working with this product difficult. The curdser does not move where you want it, you can't change the pitch and you can't change anything on the card. I have used some templates before and they were pretty easy to use. I am getty pretty frustrated.

Read: Richard's AC Charity Game Story
I was lucky enough to attend the game last night and I have to say it was one of the best hockey experiences I have been a part of. I came down from Wantagh NY to AC to watch and it was worth every Penny Spent and Mile Driven (the money won at the tables was a nice side bonus too!)
The game was All-Star game tempo with some actual defense played. Dan Girardi was in mid season Defensive form as well in the 1st Period I think he forgot it was a charity game and not a Regular Season Game. Tons of WE WANT HOCKEY!!! chants all night. The FIRE BETTMAN!! chants started before we even got inside the arena.
Flyer Fans out numbered the Ranger Fans 3-1 but it was a very peaceful atmosphere. We were lucky enough to be 7 rows off the ice, inside the blue line on Henrik's side of the ice for that 1st period and holy crap what saves he made. I had 7 Flyer fans around me that even had to give him a standing ovation.
There was one point before the 2nd period started that I noticed a ceiling tile hanging by a wire and we joked that Gary Bettman was trying to get this game canceled as well. Asham and Carcillo had a few set up play fights that lead to Duel Penalty Shots which was neat and both were stopped, one by Hank and one by Marty.
Boyle looked like he was having the most fun out there always a smile on his face on the ice and joking around. I was also lucky enough to meet him on the boardwalk going into the game and get a picture with him. He was joking around with me outside too and playfully made me follow him before we took the picture. Just a really nice guy. The head ref was Kerry fraser. He seemed to be having more fun then all of the players.
Lastly I have to say we all knew what a class act Daniel Alfredsson is but It was on display 1st hand last night. He was signing autographs and talking with fans & was the 1st player after the game to go pick out a little kid and toss him his stick. Henrik, Brad Richards, Hartnell, and Martin all did as well. Martin and Hartnell came out after the game as fans were leaving and tossing pucks and Flyer Hats out to the fans. Hartnell and Brad Richards addressed the crowd before the game and thanked them for being there. Also in warm ups Richards Team brought what looked to be a fan out for pregame skates he was a goalie and they took shots on him and let him play some goal. He wasn't very good but looked to be just and amazing experience for him. At one point the entire team shot on him and once in a playful way.

LOWVILLE The Tug Hill Bluegrass Festival attracts more and more people every year who love to hear the sounds of Appalachia.
This weekends festival at the Maple Ridge Center drew about 1,000 people eager to camp out and listen to local and national acts such as Doyle Lawson, creating a record-breaking year.
This was our best year ever, main festival promoter Keith M. Zehr said. We might even break even this year.
The festival, organized by the Adirondack Mennonite Camping Association, started eight years ago on more modest terms.
I dont know how many people we had then, he said. Maybe 125 people.
Since then, the festival has brought nationally known bluegrass acts and extended the weekend festival to three days.
While such efforts have helped increase the number of visitors, Mr. Zehr said he thinks bluegrass music itself is what attracts people. This year, people came from Canada and as far south as North Carolina.
Its kind of a niche music that if you have a taste for it and a preference for it, youll drive a long way for it, he said.
Bluegrass festivals also have a reputation for being family-friendly, he said.
On Fathers Day, more than 600 people crowded under two white tents to listen to Lost Time and the Atkinson Family Band perform bluegrass gospel reminiscent of the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? Sunday has always been the free festival day.
The Spinney Brothers from Nova Scotia closed the days show.
We came last night and tonight, said Kathy H. Farney, Croghan. Weve come three or four times in the eight years theyve had it. It gets bigger and better every year.
Not everyone who came regularly listens to bluegrass, however.
This is our first (trip) ever, said Jeffrey E. Lyndaker, Croghan. We talked about coming for years and we never have, so we came this year.
His mother leaned over.
This is my kind of music, Marilyn I. Lyndaker said, smiling.
Heather L. Bush, Albany, also came to the festival with family.
My grandmother used to come with my grandfather, she said. He passed away, so we all came with her today.
As Lost Time and the Atkinson Family Band wound down with their final songs, Miss Bush said it was her first time listening to bluegrass.
Its good, she said. Its a lot of fun. Its an interesting take on gospel music.

|Bank Robbery Suspects Caught After Caldwell Car Chase and Crash
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 04 April 2010 01:47
Granite Falls--6:38am With lots of help from Caldwell citizens following a bank robbery Friday, two suspects are now in custody facing charges.
The First Citizens Bank at 27 Falls Avenue was held up at 4:30 p.m. Friday afternoon when a man walked into the bank, claimed to be armed and demanded money. He didn't show a weapon, but bank employees obeyed him, and he left with an undisclosed amount of money, according to Granite Fallso Police. Police say a dark blue 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora was waiting for him, a woman inside, and the pair fled. The Hickory Record says a Hudson officer spotted the car on U.S. 321 and tried to make the traffic stop, but the driver took off and the officer gave chase.
The Oldsmobile crashed into another car near the intersection of Mission Road and US 321-A and the suspects ran.
Hudson Police officers caught Elizabeth Anne Greene, 47, of 33rd Street NE in Hickory and charged her with armed robbery but the driver got away.
Officers set up a perimeter and brought in Lenoir Police K-9 units to search for him.
Then came the tips from citizens that gave officers a play-by-play of the suspect's location and direction.
At about 9:45 p.m. officers from the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office, Granite Falls Police Department, and the Hudson Police Department caught Dontro Davon Powell, 31, of Gastonia, in the woods off US 321 near Mission Road.
He was arrested and charged with armed robbery and locked up in the Caldwell County jail under a $500,000 secured bond.
Greene's bond was set at $75,000 secured.
Both suspects are scheduled to be in court Monday for their first appearance.

Welcome fans to another edition of Blueshirt Bulletin's live game blog. Tonight, the Rangers take on the Islanders for their first matchup of the season. Last season, the Rangers took the series 5 - 1 .
As reported earlier, Marian Gaborik will not be in the lineup. P.A. Parenteau has been recalled from Hartford. Donald Brashear is also a scratch tonight as Artem Anisimov moves to center on the fourth line.
A few minutes away from the drop of the puck. Stay tuned!
7:11 - Game underway. Lundqvist in net.
7:12 - Early goal by the Islanders. Another missed coverage at the blue line leads to a breakaway by Matt Moulson.
7:16 - Rangers flat early. Islanders quick to the puck and winning every battle. This could be a long one.
7:24 - P.A. Parenteau scores in his first game as a Ranger off a nice pass by Dubinsky. 1 - 1 with a little over 11 minutes to go.
7:28 - Yankees game having an impact. Maybe 1/2 full arena.
7:32 - Lot of scrambling in front of the Rangers net. Defense having trouble picking up the opposing forwards down low. Still 1 - 1 with 7:00 to go.
7:37 - A questionable tripping call against Dubinsky leads to an Islanders PP. So far, Rangers have held them at bay.
7:44 - Getting a little chippy out there. Andy Sutton taking some liberties on Callahan and Prospal. Bergenheim then throws Kotalik into the net. Ranger
7:47 - Marc Staal hits the post at the buzzer. Period ends 1 - 1.
8:06 - Start of the second period, both teams continue to take the body.
8:08 - Anisimov has a great chance on a 2 on 1 but his spin-o-rama is gloved by Roloson.
8:15 - Islanders with strong forechecking get a few quick chances. Tensions are high as scraps are starting after most whistles.
8:18 - Callahan hits the side of the net on a wide open 2 on 1. The Rangers take advantage of an Islander without a stick and get a few great chances.
8:22 - Strong play from Park and the Islanders 4th line put pressure on the Rangers. Redden draws a penalty.
8:26 - End to end action on the Rangers PP leads to chances for both teams. Not the good Ranger PP we have seen over the past few games.
8:35 - Avery gets called for hooking, Islanders on the PP.
8:38 - Lundqvist makes a great save on Taveras but a quick rebound goal by Okposo beats Henrik on the following face-off. Islanders up 2-1 with 1:45 remaining in the second.
8:41 - End of Period 2. Islanders go into the locker room with a 1 goal lead.
8:59 - Start of the 3rd. Rangers draw a quick penalty. Not much happening in the first half of the man advantage.
9:02 - Big shot by Higgins but gloved and play stopped by Roloson.
9:06 - A dangerous hit from behind on Dubinsky from Sim goes unnoticed. Dubinsky gets right up and exchanges words with Sim.
9:15 - Poor passing from the pressing Rangers is leading to few scoring chances. The shots are coming from the outside but no Rangers to be found in front of the net.
9:22 - A good shift from Drury and Avery finally keep the puck in the Islanders zone for an extended period of time. Islanders time out.
9:24 - A "head-scratcher" of a play from Rosival leads to a Tavares goal. 3-1 Islanders.
9:28 - Avery draws a PP. Rangers must capitalize to make this interesting.
9:33 - Avery almost brings the Rangers closer but hits the post with 45 sec remaining. The fourth post of the game for the Blueshirts.
9:37 - The end of the game. The Islanders top the Rangers 3-1.

SANDY HOOK BAY, New Jersey (WNBC) -- More than two weeks after Hurricane Sandy residents still face a long road to recovery, but for one family the debris strewn along a New Jersey beach uncovered a glimpse of a true love affair more than a half century old.
There were 57 of them: love letters from a young woman in New Jersey to her boyfriend in Vermont, found tied with a ribbon inside a box on the shore of Sandy Hook Bay after the storm.
The letters, written during and after World War II, were found two weeks ago by Kathleen Chaney's 14-year-old son Patrick.
"I wanted to return them to whoever they belonged to," said Kathleen Chaney. "They're beautiful. She obviously adored him."

Craig Breslow started the Strike 3 Foundation, which heightens awareness, mobilizes support, and raises funding for childhood cancer research.
Clay Buchholz created the Clay Buchholz Foundation with his wife Lindsay in March 2013 to provide health, educational and sports opportunities to improve the lives of children in need. The Foundation's inaugural beneficiaries include Christopher's Haven and Pitching in for Kids, two New England area nonprofit organizations that provide resources and programs directly to children needing special assistance.
Mike Napoli's ticket program "The Bearded Bunch" brings patients from Boston Children's Hospital to watch batting practice, meet Mike, and attend a Red Sox game.
David Ortiz started the David Ortiz Children's Fund, which is dedicated to raising funds that enable children in the Dominican Republic and the Northeastern United States to have access to the pediatric critical care they need to live full, productive lives. Three times during the season, children from Massachusetts General Hospital for Children meet David and enjoy a game at Fenway Park as part of his Papi's Pals ticket program.
Dustin Pedroia's "Pedroia's Platoon" ticket program will support military members, inviting them and their families to meet him during batting practice and watch a game at Fenway.
Through this special ticket program, Red Sox players and coaches donate tickets to highly deserving members of the community, such as teachers, military personnel, police officers, fire fighters, and community organizations. The program was started as an effort to recognize role models and to say thank you to all those in the community who make this world a better place to live.
Shane Victorino established the Shane Victorino Foundation, which is dedicated to promoting opportunities for underserved youth. The Foundation engages in projects which provide children in need with educational, recreational and wellness programs. His Flyin' Hawaiian All-Stars ticket program invites children to watch batting practice, meet with Shane, and take in a Red Sox game at Fenway Park.
Red Sox player's wives play an important role in community outreach efforts with their commitment to many important causes. The wives actively support the Red Sox Foundation by volunteering and participating in events like the Run to Homebase and Fenway to the Runway. The Red Sox players and their wives make appearances at schools, youth groups and hospitals. Many of the players and their wives purchase game tickets and food vouchers for kids, or provide direct financial support for youth groups.

All right, so the Model UN conference is over. Here's basically what happened on the second day:
I walk in, hand in some directives. The second in command of the committee plays Grocery Store Wars on the board before it starts.
I continue to discuss with Darth Malgus attacking major Republic(an) planets in a shock and awe campaign. We introduce a directive to start amassing forces near Dromund Kaas to prepare for this, but the directive utterly fails in committee.
My earlier directive to steal Mandalorian battle armor is approved by the crisis staff, everyone in committee hates me and passes a resolution to raid cortosis mines to obtain their own lightsaber-proof armor.
I introduce a directive to develop a virus that destroys the frontal lobe of people making them into dumb zombies. It later passes, but I am interrupted in the middle of Q&A...
...The committee is utterly jealous of my direktive-writing skizzles and when word comes that my effort with Malgus to conquer Kayshyyk (for practice) failed, the Emperor's Wrath uses it as an excuse to execute me. I am then reincarnated as Darth Glovoc in committee.
Luckily Darth Vich had a directive that would be submitted to the chair "upon his death", it involves his Rattataki agents dressing in ghetto hoodies and Guy Fawkes masks and dumping said virus into Coruscant's water supply. Sadly crisis staff never acts on it despite its awesome Project Chanology reference that everyone laughed at.
The Jedi begin amassing forces over Tython including a massive 5-mile wide dreadnought named the Star of Coruscant. It turns out Darth Glovoc is the commander of a Sith fleet en route to Tython.
There is a huge argument in committee over how to defeat the Star of Coruscant, including EMP-proof nuclear missiles (donated by Spain and friends from DISEC, no less), metal-eating parasites, and a suicide ship filled with nothing but a Penning Trap and a 2000 kg of antimatter(that was my idea).
It is decided that we would slam the antimatter ship (dubbed the Richard Feynman by me) and some nukes straight into the Jedi Temple while nuking the hell out of the Star of Coruscant. Also, while we were doing this apparently the Jedi committee on the other side of the building were going to use Centerpoint station to lob Coruscant into Korriban. The chair leaves the room and we play Star Wars Gangsta' Rap while he's gone.
We tried to raid the Jedi's committee room but then we got into trouble so no more big lightsaber battles. Also, the chair leaves again and his assistant looks the other way and let us convert our room into a dueling ground and just have a massive lightsaber fight amongst the Sith.
Also, not related to Star Wars committee but NATO ran around throwing paper balls at everyone. The sponsors looked the other way until they attacked the Organization of Islámic Cooperation, the sponsors drew the line there and got NATO into trouble.

Comments about Sabian Xs20 Complete Cymbal Set:
These cymbals are a must have if you are looking to upgrade from your stock cymbals, I would even recommend these for the budget-minded professional musician. I've been playing drums for 6 years, and find these to be one of the best investments I've ever made for my kit.
The cymbals seem to be made very well, I have the standard finish, and about three months later they are still pretty shiny after almost daily playing. They also seem very strong, and almost shatter-proof, I hit pretty hard on the little splash cymbal, and it still holds up perfectly.
Easily a great value for the money, the B20 bronze can't be beat, compared to B8 bronze, there is absolutely no competition for sound quality, the B20 is much more musical. I've played on B8's, XS20's, and AAX's, and the XS20's have the most value for the amount you pay for them.
Comments about Sabian Xs20 Complete Cymbal Set:
Received these last week after a one week wait from them being on back order. Toatly worth the wait. I am really pleased with this set. It's got everything you need to get started. Good crisp sounds from all the cymbals. I played Zildjian before but will stay with Sabians from now on.
