What We Do
ANSYS develops, markets and supports engineering simulation software used to foresee how product designs will behave and how manufacturing processes will operate in real-world environments. We continually advance simulation solutions by, first, developing or acquiring the very best technology; then integrating it into a unified and customizable simulation platform that allows engineers to efficiently perform complex simulations involving the interaction of multiple physics; and, finally, providing system services to manage simulation processes and data — all so engineers and product developers can spend more time designing and improving products and less time using software and searching for data.
Engineering simulation is our sole focus. For more than 40 years, we have consistently advanced this technology to meet evolving customer needs.
Our Customers
More than 40,000 customers around the world use ANSYS software. These include 96 of the top 100 industrial companies on the FORTUNE 500 list.

Simulation-Driven Product Development
The ANSYS suite spans the entire range of physics, so customers can confidently assess how their designs will behave in a real-world environment — helping to ensure product success at the same time. Our software not only delivers efficiency, it drives innovation. The technology reduces or eliminates physical constraints, enabling simulated tests that might otherwise not be possible. It fosters what-if thinking so engineers can readily explore design alternatives for an optimal solution. We call this process Simulation-Driven Product Development.
Why are so many innovative companies choosing to partner with ANSYS? The answer is the ANSYS Advantages, which set our engineering simulation software apart from other CAE tools. Together, these principles help ensure that our portfolio adds value to the engineering design process, rather than a solution that only partially solves problems.
We extend functionality by partnering with independent software vendors, including computer-aided design (CAD) and product lifecycle management (PLM) developers as well as niche organizations that range from physics (such as acoustics) to optimization to materials data.
Finally, we partner with key hardware vendors to ensure you can get the most accurate solution in the fastest amount of time. The collaboration helps customers in all industries navigate the rapidly changing high-performance computing (HPC) landscape.

Video: Paladino Wins Seat on Buffalo School Board
Video: What Carl Paladino's Victory Means for Buffalo Schools
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Developer and former gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino was overwhelmingly victorious in the race for the Park District seat on the Buffalo School Board.
Paladino defeated his opponent, Adrian Harris, 79% to 20% in an election marked by high turnout in the Park District.
"You all did it for the kids. You did it for 'something better' for the 31,000 children that have been suffering in an educational system that today, 44 of 56 schools in the system are failing," said Paladino to supporters who gathered in South Buffalo.
Paladino says the first resolution he wants to sponsor as a board member will call for the resignation of Superintendent Pamela Brown.
"She's gotta go, I was told that the say yes people who were partially responsible for bringing her in have stated that they would buy out her contract if we didn't want her there. So that would be nice of them," he said Tuesday night. "I think we have to get a leader in place who can take us to a better day. All this dialogue and collaboration and nonsense, it's all the leader. Somebody that understands what the problems are. Somebody that's been there already. Solved problems before. The best. The best person we have available right here. They don't have to go on a national search anymore. That nonsense is over."
Paladino won't join the board until this summer but he told us he plans on speaking at Wednesday night's meeting.

PROVIDENCE – Dan Hurley spent time under the same roof as one of his former high school players Thursday night. In his private moments, the URI head coach was probably thrilled that Sidiki Johnson was sitting on Providence's bench wearing a sharp black suit rather than basketball attire.
PROVIDENCE – Dan Hurley spent time under the same roof as one of his former high school players Thursday night. In his private moments, the URI head coach was probably thrilled that Sidiki Johnson was sitting on Providence's bench wearing a sharp black suit rather than basketball attire.
The connection between Hurley and Johnson dates back the 2009-10 season at St. Benedict's Prep. At the time, Johnson was a junior and had already announced his intentions to play college ball at Arizona, while Hurley was on the verge of capping what was a successful nine-year run at the Newark, N.J. school. Hurley left for Wagner (N.Y.) University in the spring of 2010, a move that coincided with another domino falling – that of Johnson leaving to finish high school elsewhere.
Ultimately, the Harlem, N.Y. native moved on to Oak Hill (Va.) Academy and New York's Wadleigh High School before continuing the next phase of his hoops journey out west.
"If I had stayed at St. Benedict's for his senior year, he would have stayed," Hurley feels. "I think me going to Wagner set the stage to not have that stability and I think another year at St. Benedict's – in the school and with our program – would have served him well."
Recalling his dealings with Hurley, Johnson mentioned that the coach spoke to him more about off-the-court matters than about actual basketball.
"(Coach Hurley) made me mentally strong. He told me that a lot of the game is mental and to always be tough and strong," Johnson offered.
Hurley was arguably the only person on hand at the Dunkin' Donuts Center who could vividly recall seeing Johnson get after it in a competitive environment. The first opportunity for PC fans to see what Hurley already knows about the 6-foot-10, 240-pound Johnson will come Dec. 18 against Colgate.
"Real rugged rebounder and an aggressive guy around the basket. He really played hard," was how Hurley remembered Johnson at St. Benedict's. "He was a highly touted top 50 kid with Arizona and Texas after him hard."
As Hurley settled into his new post at Wagner, Johnson breezed in and out of Arizona. The latter left the Pac-12 school with four games, nine minutes and two missed field goal attempts on his résumé, one that would eventually include Ed Cooley and the Friars under the section "basketball experience."
"Everything was good. I just wanted to get closer to home and to a place where my family members could come to games," said Johnson when asked for his interpretation regarding how he felt everything played out at Arizona. "Everything has been a process, but it's all going well. I just can't wait to play basketball."
Upon officially relocating to PC last January, Cooley opted to keep Johnson on ice from a practice standpoint. Here was a young man who dating back to the beginning of the 2009 season had been in the hallways of three high schools and now two colleges. From Cooley's vantage point, Johnson needed a chance to catch his breath and get acclimated to his new surroundings without the pressures of basketball hovering over him.
"When you look at guys who transfer, you do your homework," says Cooley. "Some kids chose a school because of the name or tradition and maybe not understand how that particular school could change their life."
Continuing, Cooley remarked that Johnson "has come a long way."
Asked to compare his high school mentor Hurley to his current college coach, Johnson smiled before saying, "Both are real tough on you, making sure you're staying on top of your game and classroom stuff. Sometimes you need that."
PC officials clung to the hope that Johnson would have been cleared by the NCAA prior to the conclusion of the first semester, but such a scenario never came to fruition. At a recent practice at Alumni Hall, Johnson was grouped with the Friars' first string – a telltale sign that Cooley is going to waste little time in throwing his newest big man into the fray.
From afar, Hurley will no doubt be following with interest.
"I think Ed will be really good for him," said Hurley. "If Ed can't bring him the stability that he needs, then I'm not sure who can."

CARTHAGE When selecting his lacrosse staff at North Broward Preparatory School, in Coconut Creek, Fla., Casey Powell said he couldnt think of anyone better than his former high school lacrosse coach, Kirk Ventiquattro.
When it came to how to run a program, hes who I think is the greatest to set the tone for us, Powell said.
Ventiquattro and his son, Mario, are set to join Powell, the newly appointed director of lacrosse at North Broward, as part of his lacrosse staff. Ventiquattro, a longtime coach for the Carthage boys lacrosse team, will be back in time to coach the Comets in the spring. The Florida lacrosse season starts earlier, enabling Ventiquattro to do both.
Im real excited about it Im going to be like a kid in a candy store, Ventiquattro said. Im 55 years old and I still get to do this stuff. Its great.
Ventiquattro said he will retire from teaching at Carthage at the end of January, allowing him to help assist with Powells team.
My retirement begins Jan. 25, Ventiquattro said. Ill be retiring after teaching for 31 1/2 years and two days later Ill be going to work with the team in Florida at about the time their season starts. Ill be back in (Carthage) in early March just in time for the spring season.
Powell, a national star in lacrosse who excelled with Carthage and Syracuse University, hopes that with the Ventiquattros assistance, he will be able to develop a stronger lacrosse program at the varsity level. Powell is also head coach of the program.
His plan of attack is simple: I want to start a feeder system at the elementary level, hire coaches at the middle school, focus on varsity and bring kids in from across the country, said the 37-year-old Powell, curently an attackman for Major League Lacrosses Chesapeake Bayhawks.
Mario Ventiquattro is also an attackman in the MLL, playing for the Ohio Machine.
The Florida boarding school caters to children from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade. Previously, Powell worked as lacrosse director at St. Andrews School, another private school in Florida.
I left the program in good shape. We were state champions two years ago. ... I felt it was the right time to branch off and continue to support Florida lacrosse, Powell said.
Meanwhile, Ventiquattro sees it as an opportunity to help out a former player as well as work with his son.
Ive been able to spend a lot of time doing some (lacrosse) projects with my son Tony the past couple years, he said. So now its going to be great working with my son Mario and this will give me an opportunity to reunite with Casey.
Powell, a1994 Carthage graduate, was NCAA Division I Player of the Year for Syracuse University twice in the 1990s. He has played for Major League Lacrosse and the National Lacrosse League. During the 2013 season he accumulated four goals and two assists for the Bayhawks.
I was one of the first kids in town to carry a stick ... I dreamed big, I wanted to play for Syracuse and I accomplished it because of my work ethic, Powell said.
He tells upcoming players to work hard, stay dedicated and dream.
Powell and the Bayhawks beat the Hamilton Nationals on Saturday in an MLL semifinal game, 13-12, and will play the Charlotte Hounds for the league championship at 3 p.m. today in Philadelphia. ESPN2 will televise the game.

Clearwater, FL - Police say a dead baby was found at the front door of a Clearwater fire station on Friday morning.
The female infant was left at Fire Station 49 on Sky Harbor Drive. Firefighters say the child was already dead when they found her shortly before 7:30 a.m. She was a newborn and still had the umbilical cord attached.
Under Florida's Safe Haven Law, parents can leave newborns at a hospital, fire station or emergency medical facility within seven days of birth without penalty. At that time, the parents must turn the baby over to an employee.
But in this case, it appears the person who dropped the baby off never notified anyone that the child was there. Investigators say at this time, they do not know who left the baby, how long the baby had been left outside, or if the baby was alive or dead when she was dropped off.
Clearwater Police are now conducting a death investigation. The medical examiner will conduct an autopsy later on Friday.

I've an upcoming trip for which I'm taking the airplane route to save time and strain of driving over 1000 miles. I've never flown before with all the backpacking gear, looking for some tips on do's and don'ts. I'm flying Southwest in case if it matters.
Put it in a big mesh bag or sleeping bag storage bag, and then put it in one of the large trash bags that they'll have at the check-in counter. This will keep any straps/lines on your bag from getting pulled or ripped off.If your trekking poles are in the bag, cover the tips with multiple pairs of socks that you don't mind getting stretched.Don't put any fuel canisters in your bag.Fill up your bag. If there's empty room, stuff extra clothing in there so nothing moves around when it's thrown into the plane.Surround any hard items or items with non-rounded edges with clothing or other soft items so that they don't poke or stress your pack too much.
I fly with backpacking gear often. I use a wheeled duffel, lay my empty backpack flat on the bottom. I don't really go out of my way to protect my poles except to put them among soft items. If you use a CCF pad, you can wrap them with it.Can't check any type of fuel. Max weight on most domestic flights is 50lb.
WE just put ours in a larger suitcase...and leave the suitcase at a trailhead hotel. works fine
Check out the search function. I know this one has been tackled a lot on this forum.If I'm flying with my pack fully assembled and ready to rock the minute I touch down, then I usually cinch all straps down, and wrap a raincover over it OR throw it all in a larger cheap duffle. The raincover doesn't always work, as I've seen it slip off somewhere in the TSA groping process.If I have nice equipment that I value dearly, then I stuff it all in a semi-rigid upright wheeling bag and check that in. I then bring my backpack as the carry-on. If I'm ever carrying tools (e.g., crampons, iceaxe, trekking poles) or a bear can, I always use a semi-rigid upright.
Edited by Konrad1013 on 01/24/2013 16:32:36 MST.
Especially with UL gear, which is more subject to abrasion on conveyor belts, put it in a sacrificial outer bag. If you have no breakables, it could be a soft duffle or even a burlap bag. If you have poles, umbrellas, etc, then look at Goodwill or garage sales for a used, rigid suitcase or roller bag.In a pinch, use a cardboard box, cut-down to be a snug fit. They will make you sign a "non-standard luggage waiver", but they will take it. I've done that all over the country. Some airlines offer a thick plastic bag at check-in to secure over backpacks, baby strollers, etc. But sometimes they run out. We save them from previous trips.No fuel or at least nothing that could be mistaken for fuel. (i.e., who is going to check that 4 ounces of mosquito repellent isn't alcohol?). Matches and mini-bics are technically not allowed either, and mostly I get them on-site, but last month I tossed them in and they arrived just fine.I've got a cardboard tube I transport my chrome dome umbrella in like maps or architects plans would be shipped in (unless I'm taking a pack with a frame longer than it is). I strap it to my backpack so there is no additional charge. If you have some delicate stuff - carry it on. As long as it has no blade and no liquids. Increasingly, when I'm flying some place, I've already bought and packed my food. I used to think, "There's a store there, I'll provision on site." but then they are out of something I planned on or I waste a day of vacation driving around town. At home, I know where everything is in my local store.Call ahead if you are going to buy fuel at your destination. Get locations and hours for two stores. Uncooked Mac&cheese sucks. Cooking over Sterno sucks only slightly less.
Thanks everyone, looks like I need to go buy a duffle bag to put my backpack. For sure I will have a pair of trekking pole which has to be taken care with some padding.
Update. Not being a smoker, it didn't occur to me to take the mini-Bic with me, but, "Matches/Lighters (One book of safety matches or one common lighter): Carry-on, Not checked."Another thought on fuel: I've shipped cases of wine many, many times. Anything you remember about XX bottles of wine and Y liters of distilled spirits is only about international borders. On a domestic flight, you could have 18 wine bottles in a box (more would be over weight) or a 24-pack of Bud, or 5 liters of vodka (commonly seen on flights to the Bush in Alaska).My point? A plastic vodka bottle is obviously compatible with alcohol fuel. And, if it were vodka, is totally legit to have in checked baggage. Mouthwash containers are also alcohol compatible. And with a few drops of green food coloring. . . .From the official list:"There is no restriction on the amount of alcohol you may pack in your checked luggage, provided it contains under 24% alcohol by volume (e.g. beer and wine). Alcohol greater than 24% up to and including 70% (140 proof) is allowed with the following restrictions:Up to five liters of alcohol per packageUp to five liters of alcohol per personMust be in retail packagingAlcohol over 70% (140 proof) is prohibited."I snag vodka and rum plastic bottles from the recycling center for such purposes. Alternately, you could just buy vodka, drink it, and then use the bottle.
You can seriously carry on matches and lighters when flying???
Yes, they have eased the restrictions on lighters or matches. You can bring one in your pocket or carry on no problem.
my pack goes on teh plane as carry-on luggage. i try and pack as many heavy things that i can into the pack so that it lightens my checked luggage weight. i typically pack teh brain for the pack in my checked luggage and cinch down the draw string top closure on teh pack. my checked luggage is typically an old patagonia black hole bag. all my pointy items have dedicated covers. i will nest things like trecking poles and an ice axe into the middle of the bag. I have a large wheelie duffle, but the added weight cuts down on things i would pack. i like to pack more things for the trip than i am actually going to end up wearing or loading in the pack. it's great to be able to have some ability to fine-tune your gear once you end up at your destination.
Buy a McHale. The baggage apes can't harm them. This based on personal experience. They also cannot harm a top of the line Briggs and Riley suitcase.
Dale: You can (currently) carry on matches OR a lighter when flying.But that is a change. It used to be that you couldn't. I take about 8 flights per month and still get surprised at times. Sometimes the rules are different on the same day as different airports. They also differ by which line I stand in (elites or peons) and whether I have my kids with me or not. Ah, security theater. . . .
The matches & lighters allowed has been in place for several years. Problem with TSA is that they don't know their own regulations. Every airport is a little different. What gripes me is when I see a group of them standing around chit-chatting, while the line gets longer and longer, and there are unused scanning stations just sitting there. Worse news is that last November they unionized.I fly a lot -- probably more than David, and my un-favorite pastime is watching TSA employees sit around. There are a few airports where the TSA employees work hard, are courteous, and do a good job serving their customers the travelers. End of rant.
"And, if it were vodka, is totally legit to have in checked baggage."Not so fast, Stoli breath!You can put a bottle of liquor in your checked bag, but only if it is a factory sealed bottle of liquor, and no higher than 140 proof. Now, if they caught that, it might be a problem.For the last time that I flew to Alaska, I had some discussions about this with a DOT hazmat specialist, because TSA could not answer my questions.For fuels, you can pack wood, wax, and a few other crappy fuels. A Ti-Tri Caldera Cone can actually make that work. Been there. Done that. Saw the video. Read the book. Saw the play.--B.G.--
Nick, what's really funny and quite a mind-bender is that of all the countries in the world that have stepped up security measures after September 11th, the TSA, working for the country that started all this mad security tightening and is the most paranoid country in the world when it comes to airport security, has the laxest, most chit-chatty security teams of any country I've ever passed through customs in. You don't see French and German and British and Japanese security officers chit-chatting. Makes you wonder exactly how secure the check points really are in the States.As an aside, here is a tip that worked for me, though I'm sure it probably isn't something everyone should try. I managed to slip a raw sausage through Swiss security by stuffing it into an extra shoe I was carrying. The security officer found it, of course, and took it out to question me about it:"Is this a sausage in your shoe?""Why, yes, officer, it is.""You know that I nearly thought it was an explosive?""I hadn't considered that, officer.""But the shoe certainly does protect the sausage from getting crushed.""Yes, sir, that it does. My intentions exactly.""Is it a soft-type saucisson from the Mont Blanc region?""Why yes! It is! You certainly know your sausages."He smiled and looked up dreamily to the ceiling. "Ah, it's been a while since I climbed in the western Alps. You've triggered some good memories. And great culinary times!""Yes, I know exactly how you feel. I was hoping to bring that back with me to Japan."He nodded. "I take it you can't get such sausages in Japan?""Oh no, not at all! Japan's sausages are awful.""Ah, a pity. To be so long without a good sausage.""Indeed."He nods again. "All right. I'll let it go just this once. Take your sausage and enjoy a bite for me when you get back home.""Thank you officer!""Just one thing...""Yes...?""Don't keep it too long in that shoe. It's a sacrilege. And that smell... well, to each his own, I guess.""Right, officer. It's just temporary.""Make sure that it is."

> You can put a bottle of liquor in your checked bagAgreed.> but only if it is a factory sealed bottle of liquorNot clear to me from the guidelines. I see "Must be in retail packaging". And anyone without a vac-packer, glue gun, hot-air welder and numerous adhesives in their garage needs to stock up. On general principles.> and no higher than 140 proof. Agreed.> Now, if they caught that, it might be a problem.That's true of many things in life.> For the last time that I flew to Alaska, I had some discussions about this with a DOT hazmat specialist, because TSA could not answer my questions.I only ask questions if I don't care what the answer is.>For fuels, you can pack woodNot as carry-on, only checked.There have been times when I carry on an x-ray machine and I wonder what their x-ray sees when trying to look through my x-ray machine. So you certainly can bring "radioactive materials" on board (with proper paperwork). Although they always seem to give a pass on bananas (potassium 40). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose
"I only ask questions if I don't care what the answer is."My motto used to be that I only ask questions if I already know the answer, and they do not.DOT was trying to tell me that I could check something wooden as a container, such as a shipping pallet, but I could not check some wood that was intended for use as fuel. I saw a problem with that, so I was buzzing them about taking an empty shipping pallet and then burning that up to dispose of it. They said that was OK. About that time the DOT hazmat specialist realized that I had her cornered. Besides, you can check a delicate item packed in excelsior. When you get to your destination, you throw away the fake item and use the excelsior in your wood stove.--B.G.--
Always read for yourself. Common lighters are allowed in carry-on (no number given) or checked baggage (either no fuel or in approved container). http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items"Common Lighters - Lighters without fuel are permitted in checked baggage. Lighters with fuel are prohibited in checked baggage, unless they adhere to the Department of Transportation (DOT) exemption, which allows up to two fueled lighters if properly enclosed in a DOT approved case. If you are uncertain as to whether your lighter is prohibited, please leave it at home. Torch Lighters - Torch lighters create a thin, needle-like flame that is hotter (reaching 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit) and more intense than those from common lighters. Torch lighters are often used for pipes and cigars, and maintain a consistent stream of air-propelled fire regardless of the angle at which it is held. Torch lighters continue to be banned.Strike-anywhere Matches - One book of safety (non-strike anywhere) matches are permitted as carry-on items, but all matches are prohibited in checked baggage."

I've carried duty free Liquor few times on an International flight, but never have carried a match box or a lighter. Thanks for all the suggestions. I will be buying the fuel canister at the local REI.

Sasol picks PE route for Lake Charles, eyes other products
March 11, 2013 | —Natasha Alperowicz
Sasol North America has selected Univation's Unipol polyethylene (PE) technology for a 450,000-m.t./year plant to be built as part of a previously announced $5–7 billion ethane cracker complex at Lake Charles, LA. The swing PE facility will be designed to produce linear low- and/or high-density polyethylene, (LLDPE/HDPE), including metallocene LLDPE. It will be the second Unipol PE-process plant for Sasol and its affiliates. The first has been in operation at Sasolburg, South Africa, since 1983.

The Carbon High Wrestling team competed in the "Best of the West" tournament at Tooele High School before heading to the Rocky Mountain Rumble to face opponents from all over the region. At the Tooele tournament on Jan. 9 and 10 the Dinos placed fifth overall as a team with several wrestlers standing out amongst the crowd.
Wyatt Martinez took second place in the 130 pound weight division. Cole Hunt took third in the 140 pound class. Jason Fredrickson took third at the 152 pound mark and Nico Velasquez placed fourth at 145 pounds.
T.J. Bettino took fifth in the 105 division with Cody Hunt also taking fifth at 119 pounds rounding out the placings, Marcus Rowley took sixth at 160 pounds.
In Junior Varsity action: Kamas Anderson, Anthony Montoya and Shane Castanon took second, with Stefin Larsen and Derrick Lujan placing fourth.
On Jan. 16 and 17, Carbon hit the Rocky Mountain rumble and although they were down several of their best wrestlers the Dinos wrestled with pride and were able to bring home one placing. Wyatt Martinez, a sophomore placed fifth out of 54 wrestlers. Martinez won his first two matches before losing his third and wrestling from the consolation bracket. He took down his next four opponents before losing his final match to Kade Moss, the tournament's number one seed, and placing fifth with a tournament record of 6-2.
The Dinos are looking to stay healthy and get their full squad back out on the mat as the region tournament nears.

16 U.S. Code § 22 - Control of park by Secretary of the Interior; removal of trespassers
The Yellowstone National Park shall be under the exclusive control of the Secretary of the Interior. In addition to the powers and duties enumerated in section 3 of this title not inconsistent with this section, he shall make regulations providing for the preservation, from injury or spoliation, of all timber, mineral deposits, natural curiosities, or wonders, within the park, and their retention in their natural condition. The Secretary may, in his discretion, grant leases for building purposes for terms not exceeding thirty years, of small parcels of ground, at such places in the park as may require the erection of buildings for the accommodation of visitors. He shall provide against the wanton destruction of the fish and game found within the park, and against their capture or destruction for the purposes of merchandise or profit. He shall also cause all persons trespassing upon the same to be removed therefrom, and generally is authorized to take all such measures as may be necessary or proper to fully carry out the objects and purposes of this section.

R.S. § 2475 derived from act Mar. 1, 1872, ch. 24, § 2,17 Stat. 33.
The words "whose duty it shall be, as soon as practicable, to make and publish such regulations as he may deem necessary or proper for the care and management of the same" were omitted from the end of the first sentence as executed legislation.
The words "In addition to the powers and duties enumerated in section 3 of this title not inconsistent with this section" were added to relate this section to later law, defining the duties of the Secretary of the Interior as to national parks.
"Thirty years" was substituted for "ten years" in view of section 3 of act Aug. 25, 1916, and act May 29, 1958, which authorized the Secretary to grant privileges, leases, and permits in the various parks for periods not exceeding thirty years. See section 3 of this title.
As originally enacted, this section also contained a provision that "all of the proceeds of such leases, and all other revenues that may be derived from any source connected with the park, to be expended under his [Secretary of the Interior] direction in the management of the same, and the construction of roads and bridlepaths therein." This provision was superseded by section 452 of this title providing for the disposition of all revenues from national parks.

Despite entries being open for only three weeks, there are less than 1000 places left in the 2010 British Gas Great North Swim.
The British Gas Great North Swim takes place in lake Windermere over the weekend of the 4th and 5th September, with entries already full for Saturday. Nova International, organisers of the British Gas Great Swims, are predicting that places may be completely full before New Year.
Colin Hill, Project Manager for Great Swim said: "The British Gas Great North Swim has attracted swimmers from all around the country and is a big positive for Cumbria in the wake of the recent floods. Hopefully the sudden uptake in entries for the swim will show that the Lake District is very much open for business".
The 2009 Great Swim series, which attracted over 10,000 swimmers, is currently being featured in a sequel of programmes on Channel 4, with the British Gas Great East Swim on air at 8.00 a.m. on Sunday 27 December.

|UPDATE: NC 16 Blocked at State Line
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 06 April 2011 06:41
A Gastonia man was critically injured in that accident this morning that blocked highway 16 at the North Carolina-Virginia line. 20-year old Andrew Julian Lopez-Singh was pinned in the wreckage of his Honda for an hour as rescue workers labored to free him.
His vehicle slammed nearly head-on into a tractor-trailer at about 6am just inside Virginia, causing the truck to land in a ditch, spilling fuel and causing fire response. The New River Fire Department responded out of Ashe to help with the traffic situation, directing travelers to alternate routes. An med-evac chopper landed near-by, transporting the young Gastonia man to Holston Valley Medical Center, but in need of heart surgery due to his injuries, and the surgery team already involved, he was then flown to The University of Tennessee for the surgery. The investigating Virginia trooper said that Andrew did not have his seat belt on and that the impact with the steering column broke it off, causing the serious chest injury. The trucker suffered only minor injuries in the accident.

The Carbon High Dinos sent six golfers to the state tournament down in St. George with Carbon finishing in 8th place out of 17 teams at the tournament, only four shots out of 7th place.
Including the Dinos, Region 10 had all four teams in the top eight. Park City took top honors and won the 3A tournament. Wasatch garnered fifth place and Union ended in sixth with Carbon taking eighth. It was an impressive showing from Region 10 teams.
Gage Bigelow led the Dinos with an 81 on the first day and a 79 on the second. Jaren McCourt shot a 79 on the first day and finished with an 86. Clint Finkbiner shot an 81 on the first day and finished with an 87. Nick Rukavina shot a 93 on day one and shot an 86 on the second day.
The other two other Dino golfers that traveled with the team. They were Kody Henrie and Derek Young. Since only the top four individual scores count toward the team total, their scores were not included. However Coach Tony Pinedo wanted to make sure they were recognized for making the team. They will be two to keep an eye on in the next season as Carbon continues to rebuild. This was a relatively younger team than in the past and are in one of the toughest regions in the state for golf, but the team showed they will be an even bigger force next year.
"The weather was beautiful and our players did a great job. Our goal was to finish in the top 10 so we could qualify to play on the second day. We found out later that they (the tournament officials) would not be making any cuts, but we still wanted to get into the top 10," Pinedo added as he summed up the tournament and the season. "Even after losing four seniors from last year's team, our players had a great season."

Diazepam Rectal Gel is a Schedule IV controlled drug substance and should be administered no more frequently than every 5 days and no more than 5 times a month.
Diazepam Rectal gel is contraindicated in patients with acute narrow angle glaucoma.
Diazepam rectal gel should only be administered by caregivers who, in the opinion of the prescribing physician, (1) can identify the difference between cluster of seizures (and/or the events that precipitate the onset of seizures) from ordinary seizure activity, (2) are judged to be able to use product as instructed, (3) understand which seizures may or may not be treated with diazepam rectal gel, and (4) monitor the effect of diazepam rectal gel and know when to seek professional medical help.
Patients must be cautioned that diazepam rectal gel causes Central Nervous System (CNS) depression. Patients need to be advised against operating machinery, driving a motor vehicle, or riding a bike until they no longer feel the effects of the medication. Diazepam should not be used with alcohol or other CNS products that cause respiratory or CNS depressant effects. Prolonged CNS depression has been observed in neonates treated with diazepam; therefore diazepam rectal gel is not recommended for use in children under 6 months of age.
Because of general concerns about benzodiazepines, diazepam rectal gel should be used in pregnant women only after the physician considers the risk to the fetus.
Tonic status epilepticus has been precipitated in patients treated with IV diazepam for petit mal status or petit mal variant status.
Diazepam rectal gel should be used with caution in patients with compromised respiratory function, in patients with kidney or liver disease, in the elderly, and in nursing women. Although diazepam rectal gel is indicated only intermittently, the potential for synergistic CNS depressant effects and drug interactions should be considered.
The most frequent adverse event reported with the use of diazepam rectal gel in clinical trials was somnolence (23%). Less frequent adverse events reported (≤5%) were dizziness, headache, pain, vasodilation, diarrhea, ataxia, euphoria, incoordination, asthma, rash, abdominal pain, nervousness and rhinitis.

Shares, prices under pressure following collapse of potash cartel
July 31, 2013 | Lindsay Frost and Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Shares in potash producers sank globally after one of two cartels that control most of the world's potash exports collapsed this week. Uralkali (Berezniki, Russia), the world's largest producer of potash, announced 30 July that it would pull out of Belarusian Potash Co. (BPC; Minsk), an export cartel jointly operated with another leading potash producer, Belaruskali (Soligorsk, Belarus). The collapse of the BPC export cartel raised fears that potash prices would drop sharply on an increase in production due to the ending of export-cartel...

I am pretty new in PHP, I do more static HTML pages fom my self an for my friends.
I am using HTML form and PHP script to sent an email with data filled in form.
Now, I want to change PHP script to not sent data in mail body, but to save data to HTML file and then sent this HTML file as attachement. So the script should create HTML file with data form HTML form, save it on server and send the HTML file either as attachement or sent a link to this file on server. And of course, every file shoud be generated with unique name.
I spent days googling without any success. Do anybody have any idea, or know some page, where is written something more about this problem?

Creighton Clinches Top Seed at MVC Tourney with 2-1 Victory
OMAHA, Neb. (Nov. 3) - The No. 16 Creighton men's soccer team claimed its second outright Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) regular-season title and third straight crown overall in the last three seasons after a 2-1 victory at Evansville Saturday night.
Creighton senior Brent Kallman notched the game-winner on his first goal of the season off of a header in the 44th minute to break a 1-1 tie. It marked just the second career goal for Kallman at CU, both game-winning scores. Sophomore Jose Ribas recorded his fifth assist of the season on the goal.
The Jays posted their eighth consecutive win to complete the regular season and improved to 13-3-2 overall. With the win Creighton claims the No. 1 seed at the Valley tournament next week in Peoria, Ill., hosted by Bradley.
The conference title marks the 12th regular-season MVC crown in program history after CU finished with a 5-0-1 mark in conference play. The last time the Bluejays finished the conference season without a loss was in 2008 (4-0-1).
Evansville drops to 3-2-1 in the MVC and 9-7-1 overall. The Purple Aces will be seeded fourth next week at BU. The Valley tournament host Braves managed to salvage a 1-1 tie against Central Arkansas Saturday and claim the third seed.
The Bluejays got on the scoreboard early in the eighth minute, as freshman Timo Pitter scored his team-leading eighth goal of the season put Creighton up 1-0. Pitter has scored five goals in the past five matches for the Jays. Pitter's goal gives him 18 points on the season to lead the Creighton stat sheet.
Evansville tied the match at 1-1 on a goal from Mark Gonzalez in the 21st minute. The Purple Aces' goal snapped CU's shutout streak against MVC foes at 12 consecutive matches.
Until the Gonzalez goal, the last score the Creighton defense allowed to a league opponent came in the 2011 conference opener (Oct. 12) versus Missouri State at 22:54. The Bluejays defensive shutout streak ended at a total of 1,293 minutes.
Kallman's score just over a minute before halftime proved to be the difference as neither team scored after the break.
CU freshman goalkeeper Jeff Gal improved his record to 9-0 on the year with the win. The UE goal allowed by Gal snapped his personal scoreless streak at five matches.
Creighton travels to Peoria, Ill., next week for the 2012 MVC Tournament hosted by Bradley. The Bluejays will face the winner of No. 5 seed Drake or No. 4 seed Evansville in a semifinal slated for Friday, Nov. 9 at 3 p.m.

I'm pleased as punch that I had the foresight last January to start knitting the Christmas stockings. They are done, all six, and I was never stressed about finishing. Now, it did take me nearly a year to knit what amounts to very little knitting but we are not focusing on that.
We have finished stockings, people, and that is all that matters!!!
The patterns all came from the Christmas Stocking eBook from Annie's Woolens and were all perfectly written. The only tiny change I made was to add a picot edge at each top hem. I absolutely loved knitting short row heels and toes because it is a technique that I haven't used much before. The instructions made it really easy to understand. Since I usually knit socks toe-up, it was also quite thrilling to know that I can do a mean kitchener, without even looking up directions.
I'm so glad that I bought the recommended yarn for this pattern: Barlettyarns Maine Wool. It is rustic and woolly and you know I love that. I remember doing some crude math last January to try and determine how much yarn I would need for all six stockings. Miraculously I got it right – I used every skein and didn't run out. Came a little close with the green though.
You can check out my pattern page for each stocking (basically just a bigger version of the pictures, not much else) on Ravelry.
Merry Christmas!

The Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., will be re-designated as the Air Force Test Center during a ceremony July 13.
Gen. Janet Wolfenbarger, the commander of Air Force Materiel Command, will preside over the ceremony.
During the ceremony, the 95th Air Base Wing will transition to the 412th Test Wing, although both unit changes became effective July 6.
The Air Force Test Center will play a critical role in developmental test and evaluation for AFMC's air and ground systems and is an essential cornerstone to the command's consolidation initiative from 12 centers to five. The 5-Center construct will increase efficiencies, reduce redundancies in management overhead and in acquisitions processes, and save approximately $109 million annually.
Ultimately, the consolidation ensures the command will improve the way it accomplishes the mission, providing better support to the warfighter, officials said.
Brig. Gen. Arnold W. Bunch Jr. will lead the center and will oversee work at not only Edwards Air Force Base, but also at Eglin AFB, Fla., and Arnold AFB, Tenn., which was re-designated the Arnold Engineering and Development Complex on July 6. At Eglin AFB, the 96th Air Base Wing will be re-designated the 96th Test Wing on July 18. Missions at each location will continue.
In addition to the Air Force Test Center, the Air Force Sustainment Center at Tinker AFB, Okla.; the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center and Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio; and the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center at Kirtland AFB, N.M., make up AFMC's 5-Center construct.
Initial operation capability is scheduled for Oct. 1, officials said, with full operational capability planned for mid-2013.

For the upcoming flick, popular Japanese model Rola will be voicing "Marine", a young girl Ash meets.
"I've loved Pokemon since I was small," Rola said. "And I was always playing the Pokemon games, and I love Pikachu."
Rola, whose father is from Bangladesh and whose mother is half Japanese and part Russian, is probably the most popular model in Japan at the moment.
Rola will be making her solo singing debut with Pocket Monsters Best Wishes! The Movie: Kyurem vs. the Sacred Swordsman: Keldeo. Rola's song, "Memories", will be the anime's theme song for the film, which opens this July in Japan.
Getting selected to do the Pokemon theme is a big deal. And while it might not mean much for her street cred as a singer, it does help cement Rola's mainstream popularity in Japan.
