Port of Long Beach executive director lauds investment
February 02, 2011
Many shipping analysts suggest that U.S. West Coast ports should be back on their heels when it comes to discussing the Panama Canal expansion. At least one leading port authority disagrees.
"This is going to give importers and exporters more options, as bigger ships from Asia will gain access to the East Coast ports," said Richard D. Steinke, executive director, Port of Long Beach in his "State of the Port" speech last week. But he emphasized that the port's continued investment in infrastructure will counter that risk.
"Fortunately, we have planned carefully and invested wisely, so in 2010 we were able keep moving ahead with these important improvements," he said.
Steinke noted that Long Beach is planning to spend about $4 billion dollars over the next decade to continue to provide shippers with more reliable service.
"Our harbor commissioners past and present have been very prudent with port funds, focusing on development to ensure that we would continue to provide jobs for future generations," he added.
One of our biggest projects is the replacement of the aging Gerald Desmond Bridge. According to Steinke, it is a project of "national significance" because roughly 15 percent of the inbound goods move across the decaying span "on their way to every congressional district in the nation."
After a decade of preparation, involving myriad individuals and organizations, the approvals and the $950 million dollars in funding were put in place in 2010, giving us the green light to award contracts this year to begin construction.
Today, Steinke will make this same case before an audience convened for "Shifting International Trade Routes Seminar" in Tampa. Staged annually by the Association of Port Authorities' (AAPA), the forum will examine the impact the Canal expansion will have on all major hemispheric ocean cargo gateways.
Joining others on the panel, "Ocean Carrier, Port and Marine Terminal Perspectives," Steinke will discuss the current challenges of handling variable import/export trade volumes and marine terminal infrastructure development.
According to Port of Long Beach spokesman, Art Wong, defending the port's dominant position will not be hard.
"Given the fact that our volumes in both directions have been ramping up, we can safely say that there's a reason we are still number one," he said.

Toning and firming creams are often viewed with skepticism, because it seems like such an easy way to change your body. In fact, there are actually specific bioactive ingredients which can affect the amount and distribution of subcutaneous fat, which changes the appearance of the stomach, waist and breasts. Phytomer Firming and Cellulite products are formulated to provide the benefit of these ingredients, and to allow you to make a very real difference in your appearance.
How does it work? The suite of Phytomer Firming and Cellulite products formulate powerful and effective botanical extracts and scientifically developed components to work with your body. The goal is to encourage your body to achieve lipolysis on its own, a process by which the free fatty acids are mobilized and naturally burned away. More than that, the Phytomer Firming and Cellulite series helps your body naturally burn away new fat cells as they are created and before they can be deposited. All of this can be achieved without harsh and dangerous chemicals or surgical procedures. Using natural processes is the smart – and safe – approach to take.
Being able to sculpt your body through the use of carefully selected botanical extracts and other proven ingredients is the goal of the Phytomer Firming and Cellulite line of products. In addition to the subcutaneous lipid layer, these products also work to tone and protect your body through antioxidants and skin-firming components. The process is not only natural, but beneficial. Sculpt the waist and stomach and tone, firm and lift the breasts with a carefully designed regimen.
The goal of shaping your stomach and waist is never so close as when using Phytomer Ab Sculptor with Maritime Pine Bark Extracts. The name of this product comes from the French maritime pine (Pinus pinaster), which grows in the western Mediterranean. The medicinal benefits of the bark of this tree have been recognized for over 4,000 years, but it is only recently that the active ingredients have been discovered. Called OPCs, this group of natural compounds not only acts as a very powerful antioxidant but helps strengthen the circulatory system. This means better blood flow, which translates into better lipolysis, and so better fat-burning abilities. Other botanical extracts, particularly from ocean-growing plants, provide detoxifying and additional antioxidant benefits. The dulse extract (Palmaria palmate) is extremely rich in minerals and vitamins that can be readily absorbed through the skin. Firming and toning the bust can be achieved with Phytomer SeaTonic Toning Bust Gel, which contains arginine. The amino acid arginine greatly improves blood circulation, encouraging lipolysis. This helps firm, tone and lift the bust.

Ways to Help > Your Gifts at Work > Patient & Donor Stories > Infectious Disease Stories > Alberto Fuentes
Alberto Fuentes spent seven years searching for a diagnosis for a vexing medical condition that disrupted his life. He finally found answers at National Jewish Health.
When mysterious swelling and ulcers appeared on Alberto's legs, he sought care from experts in his hometown of Miami. He was finally referred to a doctor specializing in dermatology, who thought that Alberto might have a mycobacterial infection, which can be challenging to treat.
For the next six years, he underwent more than 25 biopsies and treatments ranging from taking antibiotics and interferons to undergoing surgery to remove the ulcers.
"The ulcers would go away, and it looked like a treatment had worked," he recalled. "Then they would come back with a vengeance."
The ulcers, long stays in the hospital and side effects of the medications wreaked havoc on Alberto's personal life and career as a private investigator. "I was immobile, gained 50 pounds and had to stop working."
As a last resort, Alberto underwent therapy in a hyperbaric chamber. "One day, I came out and I was completely blind. I regained my vision, but I was very scared, and I decided that I needed another opinion."
Alberto saw an infectious disease specialist in Florida. "The doctor looked at me for 15 minutes and said 'You need to go to National Jewish Health. They are world experts in mycobacteria.'"
When he arrived at National Jewish Health in May 2011, Alberto had 16 open sores on his right leg and 15 on his left leg. His care was led by a team of specialists, including Christopher A. Czaja, MD, MPH, in the Division of Mycobacterial and Respiratory Infections and JoAnn Zell, MD, in the Division of Rheumatology, and Tho Q. Truong, MD, in the Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
"Dr. Czaja told me that he thought that my ulcers might be caused by something other than mycobacteria," said Alberto.
After undergoing multiple tests, doctors determined that the ulcers were caused by inflammation in his legs that then became superinfected. Superinfections occur when a person develops an infection following a previous infection, especially when caused by microorganisms that are resistant or have become resistant to the antibiotics used earlier.
"My skin would crack from the swelling, causing secondary skin infections like MRSA and E. coli."
Alberto was given steroids that reduced the swelling, allowing the tissue to heal. He also had intravenous and oral treatments with powerful antibiotics.
"Today, I have zero sores on my legs, and the swelling has gone down," he said.
Doctors also discovered that Alberto has an immunoglobulin deficiency, which causes his body to have a reduced number of or lack of antibodies. This explained why he was coming down with frequent sinus infections and pneumonia, and why he couldn't fight the infections in his legs.
Since his body doesn't produce the antibodies to respond to the infections in his body, Alberto is undergoing infusions of intravenous immunogloblin to maintain adequate antibody levels to prevent infections, with the hope that his body will eventually be able to produce the antibodies on its own.
"I have never seen a place like National Jewish Health," said Alberto. "The teamwork is the most impressive thing. You have eight brilliant minds working on one person. That is how they produce these miracles."
Alberto recently moved to Colorado to be close to the doctors at National Jewish Health and for the benefits of a drier climate.
"They are my heroes, and I feel like I am at home."

Five Cyclones Unbeaten At UNI Invitational
WATERLOO, Iowa – Five Iowa State tennis players went undefeated in singles play on the first day of the UNI Invitational Friday.
Freshmen Samantha Budai and Lydia Green joined junior Meghan Cassens with an undefeated opening day at the tournament. Senior Emma Waites and junior Caroline Andersen were also undefeated for the Cyclones on the first day of action.
Playing in the Gold Singles bracket, Budai continued her strong play this fall with a 6-4, 6-1 first-round win against Ashley Thai of Bradley. In the second round, the London, Ontario native earned a 7-6 (2), 6-1 win over UNI's Elvira Lopez to advance to the semifinals against Jordan Eggleston of Drake.
Cassens earned a 6-1, 6-0 win over Rachel Menos of Green Bay in the opening round of the Panthers Singles bracket. She followed that with a 6-1, 6-4 win against Illinois State's Carolina Abello. Cassens, a Tacoma, Wash. native, faces Madie Cook of Saint Louis in Saturday's semifinals.
Green was also perfect on the first day, easily disposing of Upper Iowa's Vicki Kulbokas in the first round by a 6-1, 6-2 tally. She reached the semifinals by beating Heather Nisbet of Illinois State, 7-5, 6-0. Green's semifinal opponent will be Alysa Straub of Milwaukee.
Waites was 2-0 in the T.C. Singles bracket with a three-set, 6-4, 4-6, 1-0 (8), victory over South Dakota's Michelle Elkin. Waites then beat Upper Iowa's Kelly Jachymowski, 6-1, 6-1, to reach the semifinals.
In the same bracket, Caroline Andersen followed a first-round bye with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Bradley's Carly Miles.
Waites plays Milwaukee's Aerielle Pendleton Saturday, while Andersen continues action Alexa Harrington.
The Cyclones were 2-1 in doubles action.
Action at the UNI Invitational continues Saturday morning.

Finding an angle, probably with trigonometry?
Posted 02 January 2012 - 04:41 PM
I need a formula to find x depending on the distance of the player from the gun.
X is the angle at which the guns turret is pointed.
The projectile will then arc and land on its target.
Does anyone have the knowledge or the formula to do this?

Posted 02 January 2012 - 05:10 PM
Considering the vertical motion, the projectiles displacement is 0 (from being fired to hitting, assume these heights are equal).
Therefore using the equation s=ut+0.5at^2 (where s is displacement, u is initial velocity, t is the time and a is the value of your gravity), we can work out the time. Note because gravity is downwards, it will be:
0 = 15*Sin(X) * t - 0.5*a*t^2
This gives the time the projectile is in the air to be:
t = 30*Sin(X) / a
Now we know how long the projectile will be in the air, we can apply this to the horizontal component of the motion.
For horizontal motion, the displacement is d, which should be a known value for you, and there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction:
Since a=0 for horizontal, the equation becomes:
d = 15*Cos(X) * t
Sub in t from the vertical motion to get:
d = 15*Cos(X) * 30*Sin(X) / a
=> d*a/450=Sin(X)*Cos(X)
This equation now only leaves one unknown value, the angle X. However, it is muddled in some horible trig, which gives a number of solutions, but for now it is the best I can come up with, if anyone can spot a mistake or there is infact an easier way with the unknowns used, do say, but I thought I'd post this as a starting point.

Let's redo this without the numbers, so that we can easily apply this to projectiles of different speeds. Let's also work with displacements that aren't absolutely horizontal so that we can shoot uphill or downhill.
Solving for t yields two solutions, naturally. One solution happens before the projectile has reached its peak and the other one happens after. Keep in mind that if the target is below the cannon, the earlier solution can actually be a negative time, so keep an eye out for that (although ultimately keeping both solutions here won't matter).
Now, let's go ahead and plug this into the horizontal component:
So now the real tricky part is isolating that sine function, let's see what we can do about that. First I'm going to introduce another variable to save myself some typing, since that V2/g appears in a few places.
So that actually acts as a normalization parameter for all the distances in this problem, allowing us to work in non-dimensional units. That's convenient, so let's do a change of coordinates to save myself some more typing:
So, now we have this:
Much simpler, but first note that there's technically no (real) solution for y' > sin2θ. Keep this in mind.
Fortunately those quadratic trig terms drop out, otherwise this would be a lot hairier (it'd end up requiring the solution of a quartic equation and usually in that case it's quicker to get a numerical solution than it is to evaluate the analytical one).
Up until now we've just been dealing with algebra, this part is where the trig actually comes in. We need a few trig identities:
So now we get:
So let's juggle some things around to solve this.
Alright, now there's a little trig trick we can do here that they don't usually teach and I really think they ought to. I've even run into college professors that don't know that this equation can be solved. In fact, the only reason I saw the method for solving this is because of a class that showed how to transform an expression of the form A sinθ + B cosθ into C cos(θ + φ) (I think it was actually an electronics class). It helps to draw a diagram in this case:
Hopefully it's clear from the diagram that the following is true:
From the Pythagorean theorem we see that:
And some basic trig gets us:
So, that finally brings us to:
And, solving for θ:

Δx = vx t, and vy = ±√(V2 - vx2), therefore vy = ±√(V2 - (Δx/t)2), (which looks pretty relativistic, not fully a coincidence); giving us:
Δy + ½gt2 = vy t = ±√(V2 - (Δx/t)2) t, thus
(Δy)2 + gt2 + g2t4/4 = (V2 - (Δx/t)2) t2 = V2t2 - (Δx)2; now solving the quartic equation of t (note: it's a quadratic equation for t2):
t = ±2√[ V2-g ±√( (V2-g)2 - g2((Δx)2 + (Δy)2) ) ]/ g.
Now simply vx = Δx / t and vy = ±√(V2 - vx2) (calculate t, use it for vx and then calculate vy with vx). Now the angle in question can be calculated as point_direction(0,0,vx,vy).
This is all written in my trajectory_set script.
Really? If it seems easier you could even use cos2 2x + sin2 2x = 1 to make it an equation for cosine or sine, squaring out the root and solving the quadratic that results.
I've even run into college professors that don't know that this equation can be solved

Posted 16 April 2012 - 06:18 PM
If the ball is projected with a speed of u, making an angle A with the horizontal, in a gravitational field of strength g ....
Then the only force on the ball will be gravity...
This will cause the ball to have an acceleration of g vertically downwards, We will take upwards as positive so the acceleration is -g.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity...
So by integrating the acceleration with respect to time, t , we will get a value for the vertical componant of velocity Vy:
Vy = -gt + c. (Eq 1)
The vertical component of the initial velocity will be uSin(A), by simple trig...
So when t = 0, Vy = uSin(A).
Therefore, plugging those values into (Eq 1), we get:
c = uSin(A)..
So the general equation for Vy is:
Vy = -gt + uSin(A). (Eq 2)
Now velocity is the rate of change of displacement...
So by integrating the vertical component of velocity (Eq 2) with respect to time, we will get a value for the vertical displacement y:
y = (-gt2)/2 + utSin(A) + k. (Eq 3)
When t = 0, y = 0, i.e at ground level, so subbing these values into (Eq 3) gives us:
k = 0.
So the general equation for y is:
y = (-gt2)/2 + utSin(A). (Eq 4)
Now we want the to find out how long it will take for the ball to reach the ground, so we set y = 0...
This will give us two values for t, one will be at the initial point of projection (i.e. t = 0) and the other will be the time we want.
0 = (-gt2)/2 + utSin(A).
We can factorize out a t and get:
0 = t( (-gt)/2 + uSin(A) )
This tells us either t = 0 or:
(-gt)/2 + uSin(A) = 0
Solving this gives us:
t = 2uSin(A)/g. (Eq 5)
Now we know how long it will take for the ball to reach the floor again...
Because we know there is no forces acting horizontally, the ball will move with a constant horizontal component of velocity, uCos(A)... (simple trig again)
This means that we can use speed = distance / time, to calculate the horizontal distance that will be traveled, x.
uCos(A) = x/t
So x = utCos(A) (Eq 6)
We know the time that will have elapsed before the ball hits the floor from (Eq 5)...
So subbing t from (Eq 5) into (Eq 6) gives us:
x = 2u2Sin(A)Cos(A)/g. (Eq 7)
All we have to do now is solve this equation for A, and that is your angle...
and as Sin(2A) = 2Sin(A)Cos(A).
x = u2Sin(2A)/g.
So, Sin(2A) = xg/u2.
And, 2A = Sin-1(xg/u2).
A = Sin-1(xg/u2)/2.

V=the speed of the object as it exits the barrel.
(.5(arcsin(g*R)/(V^2))) is the first angle of attack. This will be in radians. To get it in degrees, just type
Now, there are always two options for angles, since you can go above or below 45 degrees. the second one would be
These only work if your are aiming right of course. To get aiming left angle, you'll need to do something like

I got mine in like 3-4 weeks
Hey guys and gals, about how long did it take to get your first Eastmans Magazine after subscribing online? It says 6-8 weeks but that seems waayyy too long. I hope it comes sooner!!
I got mine in like 3-4 weeks
that sounds a little better, thanks Jen for the reply...
It depends on when the issue is being released and when u subscribed. If they get you set up in the system then the release is a week or so after it won't take so long. But if you subscribe just after the last release it will take awhile.
IKIC, I did it yesterday...I know there two months in one so will i get the Jan/Feb issue? I hope so!
3-4 weeks I think is how long it took me to get my first issue. It is worth waiting for.
thanks for the info guys!!!
Speaking of the Jan/Feb issue, is it out yet? I saw on their facebook page that they were finishing up in mid December.

I think Texas's Defense is going to get tired in the second half.... They already are seeming like they are,plus they don't rotate very much....
This game is going to be epic and I think will have major implications on the Nat Championship. Would love to see WVU vs Oregon, could you imagine the score of that game
Does anyone remember we were a finalist for Andrew Buie???
WVU was quite the addition to the conference.

text: Photo Gallery Gulf Oil Spill Pictures: Ten Animals at Risk The Gulf of Mexico oil spill is poised to do widespread damage to coastal wildlife, from pelicans on the shore to dolphins at sea. PUBLISHED May 6, 2010 0 1 / 10 Least Terns A least tern checks on its rock-colored eggs on a Gulfport, Mississippi (map), beach on Saturday. The Mississippi coast is home to one of the largest nesting colonies of least terns in the United States, according to the National Audubon Society. But as oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico moves closer to shore, the migratory birds are among up to 400 coastal species that could be affected, biologists say. Least terns are likely to come in direct contact with the slick, because they fish for food along the beach, said Lee Schoen, curator of birds at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. "The turns are right there on the beach, and they nest on the shores of these barriers islands. Along with all of the other [potential dangers], they're going to have nests getting oil in them," Schoen said. (See shorebird pictures.)—Craig Guillot Photograph by Dave Martin, AP Bluefin Tuna The Gulf oil spill comes at an especially bad time for Atlantic bluefin tuna, because the fish are now moving into their spawning grounds in the Gulf of Mexico.According to the Tag-a-Giant Foundation, which tracks the movements of more than a thousand bluefin tuna, the area where the oil spill is centered is one of the fish's primary breeding grounds. Tuna eggs and larvae can be severely harmed by just a few drops of crude oil, said Harry Blanchet, finfish program manager for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. Larger tuna are at risk if they eat smaller fish that have themselves ingested the oil.(See "Gulf Oil Spill a 'Dead Zone in the Making'?") Photograph by Brian Skerry, National Geographic Brown Pelicans Floated to hold back oil from the Gulf spill, a containment boom creates an orange line in the water not far from nesting pelicans and other shorebirds on Louisiana's Breton Island on April 30. (See a map of Louisiana's barrier islands.) The brown pelican—the state bird of Louisiana—is in critical danger due to the Gulf oil spill, because the species spends much of its time floating on the surface of the water. That means the crude can accumulate on the birds' feathers, causing them to lose buoyancy. Oil also allows cool water to get past the birds' wet suit-like feathers and touch skin, compromising the pelicans' thermal regulation and making it harder for them to fly and dive for fish.In addition, brown pelicans are currently in the middle of nesting season, and they tend to nest on beaches that appear in the path of the approaching oil slick. (See "Oil Spill Hits Gulf Coast Habitats.") Photograph by Alex Brandon, AP Dolphins Dolphins surface in Breton Sound not far from the Louisiana coast on May 1, as gas wells loom farther out in the Gulf of Mexico.Up to 5,000 bottlenose dolphins may be calving in the path of the Gulf oil spill, according to Moby Solangi, director of the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport, Mississippi. Both young and adult dolphins are at risk of inhaling and ingesting floating oil, because the marine mammals must surface to breathe. With their soft skin, dolphins can also experience skin irritation from the oil, and eating tainted fish could poison the mammals. Photograph by Gerald Herbert, AP Sea Turtles More than thirty dead sea turtles—including the one pictured near Pass Christian (map)—were found on the beaches of Mississippi in early May. Researchers have collected the bodies in an attempt to determine whether the turtles died due to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Turtles feed and breathe at the water's surface, so they're in danger of oil ingestion and inhalation, said Michele Kelley, standing coordinator of the Louisiana Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle Rescue Program.Turtles are also known to "mouth and chew on anything" and will likely investigate large clumps of the toxic crude, Kelley said. Oil from well leaks is much thicker than the processed oil that spills during tanker accidents. "This is what we'd call an 'unusual mortality event,'" Kelley added. "It's not good—you're dealing with animals that are still on the [U.S.] endangered species list." Photograph by Dave Martin, AP Reddish Egrets Reddish egrets, like the birds pictured above with their fledglings in a file photo, may have an advantage over pelicans in dealing with the Gulf oil spill. Since the egrets wade rather than float, they should get less oil on their feathers, said the Audubon Zoo's Schoen. (See pictures of wading birds.) But reddish egrets along the U.S. Gulf Coast are still at risk of oil consumption, he said, because the birds feed in shallow waters where the crude is likely to accumulate. Although the birds aren't listed as endangered, threats to their populations can pose serious risks, because the species has a long life span and a low reproductive rate. In general, reddish egret numbers have declined due to human encroachment and habitat loss. Photograph by Robert Sisson, National Geographic Sperm Whales Sperm whales gather in their breeding grounds off the Caribbean island of Dominica in a file photo. The largest toothed whales on Earth, sperm whales are listed as vulnerable—or facing a high risk of extinction in the wild—by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. A population of sperm whales lives near coastal waters just south of the Mississippi Delta, according to the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies in Corpus Christi, Texas. Some of these whales may already be near the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports.Like dolphins, the whales risk skin irritation and oil ingestion and inhalation when they come to the surface to breathe, said oceanographer and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Sylvia Earle. (The National Geographic Society owns National Geographic News.) Photograph by Flip Nicklin, National Geographic Snowy Plover The snowy plover, pictured preening in a file photo, is a small bird that spends much of its life running up and down shorelines in search of food. (See a picture of a snowy plover chick.) The bird has been identified by the National Audubon Society as one of the species most vulnerable to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Snowy plovers risk not only direct contact with the oil but might also be poisoned by eating small invertebrates and oysters tainted with oil. Photograph by Tim Laman Oysters Plovers aren't the only oyster-eaters that might be at risk from oil-tainted food: Many of the oysters for human consumption in the United States come from beds along the Gulf Coast. Because of the Gulf oil spill, many of the oyster beds in Louisiana have already been shut down. If the oil reaches deeper into Louisiana's wetlands, it could smother the oyster beds there, said Patrick Banks, oyster program manager for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. Or, as the water warms, hatching oyster larvae could come in contact with oil, affecting a whole new generation of shellfish, he added. Photograph by James L. Amos, National Geographic Plankton Seen under a microscope, a splash of Hawaiian seawater teems with plankton—tiny plants, animals, and eggs that drift in the ocean.As oil droplets from the Gulf of Mexico spill spread through the water column, the crude might prove fatal to plankton, which many larger animals depend on for food, marine biologist Earle recently told National Geographic News.Rescue workers can clean and treat oiled birds and other relatively large animals that come ashore. But "how do you deal with de-oiling plankton?" Earle said. Overall, the ongoing leak of toxic crude has some experts warning that the Gulf oil spill may create a dead zone, a swath of ocean devoid of life, save for hardy bacteria.

I am trying to figure out how to use Zimbra on my mobile device. I have an iPhone 3G, but I am trying to get some general information in order to be able to use similar steps so that more people than myself can access the work email on their phones as well.
When trying to set it up, I am prompted to choose either IMAP or POP and then it asks for the Host Name, User Name, and Password for Incoming Mail Server, and then the Host Name, User Name, and Password for Outgoing Mail Server. I don't know what these things are, and I'm not sure whether to choose IMAP or POP. On hte Incoming Mail Server section, a password is prefilled, so I assume it is the password that I use to access my company email. But I don't know how to access this other information it's asking for.
Can someone tell me what these things are and what I need to type in to finally get this working?
Sorry for sounding so dense. :( Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.

Pearl Harbor survivors Tuesday heard reassurances their sacrifice would be remembered by future generations as they gathered to mark the 69th anniversary of the attack.
National Park Service director Jonathan Jarvis told about 120 survivors who traveled to Hawaii from around the country that the park service "will still be here telling their story" long after the last veteran of the war is gone.
Jarvis spoke before the dedication of a new $56 million visitors center for people paying their respects at the memorial for the USS Arizona, which was sunk during the attack and where the remains of nearly 1,000 sailors and Marines are entombed.
The event was held across the harbor from the USS Arizona. Survivors took a boat out to the memorial that sits on top of the battleship.

The Gold Report: Erica, the June 6 issue of CPM Precious Metals Advisory reported that, "Some investors view the present easy monetary policy of the U.S. Federal Reserve as a great reason to purchase gold, seeing the current monetary policy as likely to result in higher inflation and the dollar losing value. When viewed over the longer term, much to the contrary has happened since the Fed began to ease monetary policy." It seems like the returns for quantitative easing (QE) are indeed diminishing.

Hepatic resection is surgery to remove a portion of the liver.
Hepatic resection is most often used to treat cancer in the liver. It can also be done for the following reasons:
If you are planning to have a hepatic resection, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Long-term side effects are uncommon. This is because the liver is able to regrow and function normally within a few months. But, this can happen more slowly in older patients.
Discuss these risks with your doctor before surgery.
Before surgery:
Talk to your doctor about your medicines, herbs, and dietary supplements. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
General anesthesia
will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery.
The doctor will make an incision in the right upper abdomen, under the rib cage. The doctor will remove any tumors on the liver and some of the surrounding healthy tissue. Sometimes, the gallbladder will also need to be removed. The doctor may use an ultrasound probe to examine the liver during surgery to make sure there are no remaining tumors. Your doctor may leave a drain going from inside your abdomen to outside your body. This will drain any blood or leakage from the liver. The doctor will close your incision with stitches or staples.
You will be taken to the intensive care unit for about 24 hours. The hospital staff will monitor you.
3-7 hours
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Pain or soreness during recovery will be managed with pain medicine.
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 4-8 days. If you have any problems, you will need to stay longer.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

I hope so! Been wanting Knack, but I figured it will probably be the first retail PS4 game to go on PS+.
05-09-2014 #3
I don't think Knack is a big enough title, will probably be something like Killzone or even inFamous SS.

Infamous Second son will not be on PS+ for at least a year, killzone not until winter after the next round of COD and Battlefield are out. Knack would probably be free since it isnt that big of a title, along with maybe AC4, and maybe Tomb Raider next year. Id say Battlefield 4 is even more likely than Killzone to come sooner. Its a little bit early in the PS4's lifecycle to start giving free games out that they could still be making money on. Id bet we hear about some, but not many, and none before september.
05-09-2014 #5
Knack will be one of the first for free, Tomb Raider will follow it, then Asshat Creed:After dat booty, maybe BF4 and infamous by JAN/feb, and hopefully bound by flame tossed in there.I have twitter to https://twitter.com/GamerYuichi , Also started youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMu7yRGCz8QrTyxaNVR3Tqw I don't always twitch, but when I can you can find my noobness http://www.twitch.tv/yuichimccry,

I agree about KZ. They're still releasing DLC and Skins. Way too early.
Knack and ACIV are the only ones I am expecting anything from.
05-09-2014 #7
It's about time they started to give us some retail quality games, IMO. So far it has only been indies and other low end games. Some of the (PS4) release titles should be showing up soon, I hope. Need For Speed, Knack, ACIV, NBA2K14 and such. As someone said earlier, Infamous and Killzone will probaly not be free for quite awhile. I don't think BF4 will be either, there are still DLC's coming for that and I don't think the next BF game will be released until Q4 2015 (2 years after BF4) or something like that.
05-09-2014 #8
I would love to see Knack, Tomb Raider, and AC on their.
I've held off on them, because a, I've beat 50 percent of Tomb Raider on PC so didn't feel the need to buy it again, (although I would love to play it on PS4), b, Knack just didn't look worth the asking price, and c, I've never been interested in the Assassins Creed series.
05-09-2014 #9
Knack is rubbish, but i would appreciate black flag for free..killzone is nice lookin but boring..

So since I <3 IBM Webspehere's implementation of MIDlet on Palm (read: it sucks), I decided to test out the lovely ZimbraME on Palm running Java.
It's okay but there are a bunch of things that bug me.
1) The screen refresh is ugly. When Zimbra loads something, that little progress bar blinks on the screen without refreshing the screen which makes it look like it overlays previous screen - not sure if that's Java's fault or Midlet's fault.
2) Same problem as with Webclient - no option to specify which account we will be sending from
3) Menus are ugly, but that's partially Java's fault
Overall, it's okay, even though for everyday use it's not suitable, however at least I can read the body of the message unlike on the webclient there is 1/5 chance I'll read the body.

Installed .78 and so far it's head and shoulders above the last version (pre .5x) I tried. However, I'm still running into several issues.
1. During the initial setup I tried to enter all of my accounts one after the other. Unfortunately, as soon as it started syncing the first account I couldn't save a new account until that sync was complete (an error would pop up). Once the sync was done I could then save the new account, which would start syncing and prevent me from adding the next and so on.
2. The sync time is abysmal. I'm on the same gigabit LAN as the e-mail server. On the first account I had 6k messages ringing in at around 40MB and it took over 30 minutes to complete. On my largest account with some 150MB of messages (including attachments) it fails to complete. I just get the red circle with the exclamation point - no error message that I can find and clicking "Get Mail" doesn't do anything. It also kills off the connection for all other accounts. The other accounts can be converted back to online by clicking "Get Mail". Resetting the failed account will cause it to start over, get to some unknown point, and fail again.
3. When the sync fails the folder list disappears for that account. The only way to get it back is to close the deskop application and restart it.
4. Is there no way to reorder the accounts? It's not in the order I entered them, or even alphabetically. I would really like to have my primary account on top, followed by lesser used accounts.
5. The accounts frequently seem to lose connection. Again no error that I can find reported, just the red circle exclamation point. Sometimes "Get Mail" will reconnect, other times it won't. I can access the accounts via the web GUI just fine regardless of the status in Zdesktop.
6. The reading pane won't stay off! Intermittently on any given account it will come back on. I haven't found a pattern to this but it's very annoying as I hate reading panes.
On the plus side, the multi-account features look like exactly what I want. If I can just get all my accounts to sync I may stick with Zdesktop.

The story of Ruthie Molloy's quest to create the perfect makeup collection began more than 13 years ago. At that time, Molloy was working as an esthetician, providing treatments to patients who had undergone laser resurfacing treatments for severe scarring and other serious skin conditions. Many of these women had lingering sensitivity, tenderness and inflammation after the treatments and were anxious to hide the irritation without compromising the health of their skin. The only option for her clients was natural mineral makeup, but the powder forms that were available on the market didn't offer enough coverage for their needs.
The Illuminare Cosmetics collection was initially developed as a solution for Molloy's clients, but the popularity and effectiveness of her makeup inspired her to make it available to the public. The products found in the Illuminare Cosmetics collection were the first liquid mineral makeup solution available on the market and allow you to enjoy the benefits of natural cosmetics with full coverage, easy-to-apply formulas. In addition, Illuminare Cosmetics also contain moisturizing ingredients that soothe and nourish the skin while concealing imperfections.
When you think of mineral makeup, you probably imagine a powdered form. Illuminaire gives you all of the benefits of mineral makeup in its unique liquid form. Convenient, easy to use, and long lasting, Illuminaire cosmetics can transform your existing makeup routine. If you're tired of makeup that fades during the day or you've yet to find the shades and styles that perfectly complement your skin tone, now is the time to try Illuminaire. Explore what this unique brand has to offer today.
A flawless base is the start of every effective makeup routine, and Illuminare offers a variety of products that help you conceal those flaws, even that skin tone, and create a natural radiance. Liquid mineral foundations come in a variety of styles—you can choose extra coverage for those problem areas or a light to medium coverage foundation for equal beauty but a lightweight appearance. These products come in a variety of shades, allowing you to find one for your skin tone, whether you have fair, medium or dark skin.
Once your flawless base is created with Illuminaire products, you can find even more cosmetics in this line to enhance your look. Discover liquid eye color in rich hues such as browns and taupes, pinks, and other neutrals. Then, add a pop of color to your lips with glosses in vibrant berry, rich red, or soft pink. In the Illuminaire line, you can also find the tools you need to make your look last, including brushes and sponges that make product application a breeze.

Dear Editor:
A Bureau of Labor statistics report (May 2011) for secondary teachers in the United States lists Kingston as the third top-paying metropolitan area in the nation for this occupation, with an annual mean wage of $74,970.
The 2010 U.S. Census lists the per capita money income in Kingston at $24,368 and the median household income at $46,098, with both numbers lower than the New York state average.
Seriously, can this heavy-handed milking of the Kingston taxpayer continue? I don't think so. What is the Kingston school board going to announce in the latest teachers' contract? Let's hear more protest from Kingston taxpayers.

Ca Sportsmans Alliance
Outdoor Heritage of America
I'm sure most of you are aware that California Outdoor Heritage Alliance is not with us anymore. It was a sad day for California to have lost one of the few voices it has to stand up for our rights as sportsmen and sportswomen. Prior to COHA's departure, I was putting together a national organization to unify all sportsmen. I will be bringing hunters, fishermen, trappers, houndsmen, archers, trap and skeet shooters, retriever clubs, etc., all under one roof. In essence, this will be the NRA for sportsmen.
Our opponents are completely dismantling us because we are so disorganized. There are many who are not aware of the threat against us. That is primarily because you won't find it in the headlines. However, if you search it out, the assault is readily accessible to find. The Humane Society of the United States has made it their highest priority to take California down. They want ALL sport hunting and ALL sport fishing eliminated. They are having their way because there is no organization with enough size to stand in their way.
No more. Whether you already recognize the threat for what it is or you didn't realize the threat was as imminent as it is, it's time to stand up for what you believe in. Not just stand up, but stand shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm, to finally have a voice loud enough to make a difference.
What we (sportsmen, which is meant to include women) have always lacked is the numbers. The numbers are out there nationally but we are scattered all over in our small groups. We need these small groups but the mission statements of most of these groups is not to defend sportsmen's rights. We are now registered and running in Oregon and California. We will be marching across the other 48 states as fast as we can.
Let me make one thing perfectly clear at this point. We are a 501(c)(4). We will *not* be competing with all the other groups out there. The goal is to lock arms with all the existing groups to be the umbrella over them all. There are a few national groups and many state groups that are doing great work. The problem is; they are simply not big enough (in numbers) in the big picture to get the job done.
I will be using word of mouth, the Internet, and social media to get it off the ground. I know that will work to get it going. Bigger strategies will be used to take it to the next level. I have seen other 501(c)(4)'s fail in less than a year because they focused only on raising money. Obviously we will ultimately need plenty of money to win the battle. But I am convinced that the money we will need will follow the numbers. I will be focused on what we have always lacked; THE NUMBERS! I will be on a grass roots membership drive. The membership is affordable at $20. I realize that times are tough and you probably belong to several groups already.
However, this is *not* just one more group you can belong to. This is *not* another group among many. This is *not* one more place to drop $20. If you are a sportsman and don't want to see what you love to do completely disintegrated in the next decade, then this needs to be mandatory involvement. We must unite across the board to prevent our time honored traditions from extinction.
If you are someone who doesn't understand the urgency of this or the pressure being applied to us, then do some homework to see our enemies for who they are. I will be doing my best to put a lot of that info on the website.
Here is the bottom line. We desperately need an organization like this. (It should have been formed 20 years ago) We need the NUMBERS to stop the blatant attacks on our freedoms. We are having things taken away from us at every turn. With that said, it will be a monumental effort to accomplish this. It will take a huge wholesale participation from all sportsmen.
The message is simple. Please join!! Don't wait. We don't have the time to waste. If you can afford it, sign up your spouse. If you can afford it, sign up your children or grandchildren. I should have been more clear about signing up family members on the website. (I will add some wording to it) If you are going to sign up a spouse or family member, go through the signup process each time. I know it takes a little longer but remember what the goal is; we need the numbers. We need as many individual members as possible.
If you have already gone through the process of grouping people together in one signup, send me an email with your family members names and I will make sure they are individual memberships.Tell as many people as you possibly can. We need the numbers!
Here is the website. www.outdoorheritageofamerica.org
I welcome all comments, questions, and suggestions. The website was put together quickly and will be a work in progress. The support so far has been tremendous. Make sure to check out the website before asking questions or making comments. You can respond here or send me an email through the website. If you feel compelled to join the cause, let me know.
Thank you,

I'm simply the messenger here. Steve Eberhart has a great idea and a renewed focus for us to band together. Please join today.

Laurie Peterson's '37 Ford pickupWritten by on August 17, 2007
West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada-native Laurie Peterson has been building cars for a few years now and they're always a big hit in the Pacific Northwest. One of his latest is this chopped, channeled, and ungodly low '37 Ford pickup. The suede hot rod sits on black Ford wire wheels shod in Firestone bias plies and is powered by a 289ci Studebaker engine with a 331 Caddy 2x2 intake fitted.

Looks great.
The issue with the bleed at the edges sounds difficult to solve.
Hi all:
I thought I would show you one of the six maps I am developing for "Star Borders", a game to be released by Victory Point Games (probably in a couple months). The original artwork, which I dont have handy right now, had a rather cute, reto-50's style, but the publishers wanted something else, and asked me what I could do. The results are, hopefully, a more high-tech look. My inspiration was all those Sci-Fi movies that have those kool computer interphases (like the ones in "Minority Report). The maps will be geo-morphic; that is, you cut the bottom charts off and then you can connect them any way you want. I was stuck with the gray background as the publishers insisted they could not afford the ink for a full-on space black style, but overall I think it works.
The main problem I am having now is lining up the green lines so they connect properly on the different maps. The publisher will be useing a Full Bleed to print to the edges of a sheet of paper, and the amount of bleed is messing up my ability to get the lines to connect.
Looks great.
The issue with the bleed at the edges sounds difficult to solve.
This is the way I usually do it:
I"m still working away slowly on this one. The publisher asked me to design a card-back to go with the game and I came up with this. The maps are pretty much done. I'm just waiting on the publisher to go over them and if no more changes are needed I can send them the PSD files and we can put this one to bed.
sounds like they plan to print the maps on a desktop printer. Normally when producing something like this you'd make the document about 5 mm (1/5 inch) larger than the final format, add some crop marks and cut it to size after printing. Professionel printing would also mean being able to not worry about the amount of black on the page, although with deep black you should probably add a coating afterwards to protect the print from fingerprints.
But looking good - congrats on the commision

Woohoo! VPG has published the Star Borders game, with my maps and card backs.
In order to overcome that issue with full bleed printing, I first shrank down all the map layers in photoshop by 1/8th, then scaled the "canvas" back up 1/8th. That left enough room around the edge for the bleed. The maps still dont line up perfectly, as the printer does not seem to bleed exactly the same amount on each side, but the publisher says its close enough.
Now they have asked me if I could throw together a few web-ads, for the website. I am Working on that now...
Congrats Tim! Have you played the game? Is it good?
I havent, actually. I have read through the rules (months ago) and I have the components as pdf files, but I havent actually played it. I know Alan (head honcho at VPG) is very enthusiastic about it. I am planning on giving it a try as soon as I get my own copy in the mail in a couple weeks. But the really interesting part will come later. Right now its just a two player game, but more expansions are planned (with more maps and more ship counters) that will make it multi-player. Now That sounds like fun!
What a difference two years makes! Victory Point Games got themselves a big fancy new printer, and apparently now they dont have to worry about ink costs. They asked me to re-colour/re-design all the maps for Star Borders, as well as make up some new ones for the upcoming expansion pack. This is a sample of what they will now look like. You can compare this one with the earlier version.
These were fun to make up, but took a heck of a lot of tweaking to get right. And they still arnt done yet. I recently heard back that the new printers are over-saturating all the colours so that either They figure out how to get the printer to work better, or I have to de-saturate 16 separate maps. Ugh!
Pretty cool. In the Battle Round Sequence, Step 2, "Your Hide/Retreat Retreat Option", the double "Retreat" is awkward. You might check if the second "Retreat" can be removed.

The Bern Baker EPS Visor 8Tracks Audio Helmet comes with Bern's 8Tracks audio system, which makes it easier than ever to listen to music from your phone or MP3 player while you shred. The Baker 8Tracks Helmet is
shred-ready and currently taking calls.
The Baker starts with
Bern's Thin ABS hard shell and then adds EPS, a lightweight,
one-time-use foam that evenly distributes force and gives its life to
save yours in the event of a high-impact crash. Bern's Signature Shape
allows the Baker to be up to 35% lower profile than standard snow
helmets, and the ergonomic fit means it fits around your head instead of
perching on top of it. And, unlike other helmets,
you can take the liner out when it warms up for spring-ski comfort.
- Thin Shell construction with EPS foam liner
- Up to 35% thinner than traditional winter helmets
- Up to 14% smaller front to back than traditional winter helmets
- Micro-adjustable custom fit

Great Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Low profile lid with speakers - what more could you ask for? Comfortable, light and overall great helmet.
Warm low-profile brain bucket with tunes
Title says it all. I've had a non-audio Bern Baker for years that was great but needed to be retired, so I decided I may as well get rid of the need to rock ear-buds with the refresh. This model carries over all the good stuff from my old Baker plus the audio, which works great!
Awesome Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fits well, looks good, can listen to your tunes while riding, no fuss just plug cable in and go, comfortable! oh and nearly forgot to say protects your head when you slam hard haha ;)

Does the Bern Baker EPS Visor 8Tracks have a goggle strap clip in the back?
Based on a Google image search, it looks like it does

Reflections, insights and news about the food movement and "going Slow"
Faces and Visions of the Food Movement: Katherine Deumling
May. 30, 2014
Have you ever looked into your cupboards and sighed because you couldn't figure out what to make for dinner? If so, Katherine Deumling is here to help. Deumling is the woman behind Cook With What You Have a Portland-based company that encourages people to experiment in the kitchen with new ingredients while still relying on familiar staples. Her recipes celebrate fresh, seasonal fare and use simple techniques to build confidence in cooking with what's on hand, without last-minute runs to the grocery store.
An Interview With Preserving Maven Sherri Brooks Vinton
May. 22, 2014
Sherri Brooks Vinton has been knee-deep in the Slow Food movement for more than a decade. In fact, Sherri credits Slow Food USA for helping to guide her through complicated issues and inspiring her to write the "Put 'em Up!" preserving series. We caught up with Sherri last week to talk about her latest book in the series: "Put'em Up! Preserving Answer Book."
In Search of Diversity, Taste and Tradition
May. 22, 2014
I've been cheating lately on my intimate relationship—the one I have with Italian food. As a master student at the University of Gastronomic Sciences, I have an unfailing passion for food and relish the opportunity to indulge in the incredible Italian cuisine that surrounds me. Yet for dinner last week I swapped out eggy tajarin al ragù for Israeli shakshuka and challah, and a few days later, I opted not to have a morning cappuccino and freshly baked cornetto at the local Caffè Converso, in exchange for a Hungarian chocolate pastry called kakaós csiga. Should I feel ashamed? The traditionalists I live amongst in the town of Bra may question these out-of-the ordinary foods, but here at UNISG, it is all part of the learning experience.
We Are Not Luddites
May. 21, 2014
In the SFUSA Food News we have featured a number of recent articles that address the shrill and troubling tone that accompanies the GMO debate. Our side sends out plumes of smoke to alert consumers to the dangers of polluting our food supply with untested and unproven GMOs. The other side accuses us of Malthusian desires to starve the planet. Though we may find the science that supports our side compelling, it is safe to say that consensus about the safety of eating foods that contain GMOs does not yet exist. Consider what is to be learned from global warming debates. Overwhelming consensus among scientists about rising temperatures persists. And yet, the public relations campaigns to stymie policy changes have kept meaningful change at bay.
A Preview of Carlo Petrini's Latest Book: Cibo e libertà (Food and Freedom)
May. 21, 2014
The New Oxford American Dictionary defines "gastronomy" as "the practice or art of choosing, cooking, and eating good food." Carlo Petrini reckons that, in its thirty-year history, Slow Food has—at first unwittingly, then consciously—reformulated the meaning not only of the word but also of its practical and theoretical implications. He explains how in his impassioned new book "Cibo e libertà", to be published this Fall in English as "Food and Freedom".
