A photo-project undertaken by the author to create images to aid a calm, relaxed state of mind to aid contemplation and meditation
I was born and grew up in Cheshire, England. In 1995 I emigrated to live on Achill island in County Mayo on Ireland's west coast, close to my Grandmother's farm. Eight years ago I began writing poetry on a regular basis and have published four small collections. I have read my poetry throughout County Mayo and my work has appeared in a number of magazines and anthologies. I am also a playwright. My first play, a monologue, 'The Quiet Room', was performed by Phoenix Theatre Works, in Belmullet, County Mayo, in April 2008. I am currently writing my first full-length play.

Vt. hospital busy after drug sweepJanuary 19,2013BENNINGTON The Vermont hospital that serves the area where police conducted one of the largest drug sweeps in state history is seeing more patients seeking treatment for drug withdrawal symptoms.
Southwestern Vermont Medical Center Emergency Director Dr. Adam Cohen said patients began seeking treatment Wednesday afternoon while the long-planned drug operation in Bennington County was still under way.
Cohen wouldnt provide numbers, but he told the Bennington Banner that you can definitely connect the increase in patients seeking treatment for drug withdrawal with the police operation.
He said he expects the trend to continue for at least a week.

Option Bears Drawn to Exxon Mobil Bubble
Schaeffer's Investment Research
XOM 87.50 put a popular choice for new positions.
Oil giant
Exxon Mobil Corporation
has wavered on the charts recently, drawn down by the recent plunge in oil prices overall. And in the first few hours of trading, option traders are reacting. So far, there have been more than 20,000 puts exchanged, more than twice the normal amount. Of interest has been the May 87.50 put, which has seen nearly 1,100 contracts change hands.
About 30% of the puts have been bought at the asking price, and volume exceeds open interest, indicating at least some of these were bought to open. With a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of $1.87, the stock needs to close at or below $85.63 (strike minus VWAP) on the expiration date of May 17 to make a profit. Without that 3.6% drop from current levels, all the investors would lose is the premium paid.
These trades fit right in with the current sentiment toward XOM on the option trading floor. The Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) stands at 1.24, which is higher than all but 20% of readings taken in the last year. In other words, put trading is much more popular than usual right now on options that expire in the next three months.
But oil overall is trading around $91 a barrel, pulling down potential profits for companies such as XOM. Shares of the oil giant are down 3.4% from a recent high of $91.93 on Jan. 29, but have stabilized somewhat in the last two weeks. Furthermore, XOM's 200-day moving average is ascending into the $88.10 region -- this trendline acted as support in late February, and could contain additional downside. But Credit Suisse just yesterday lowered its earnings outlook for XOM, and there are still six analysts with "buy" or better ratings on the stock, meaning more instability could lead to more downgrades or price-target cuts.

Surface patterns from block copolymer self-assembly26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.3000056View Description Hide Description
It is widely recognized that further extension of optical lithography to even smaller dimensions will be accompanied by rapid increasing cost and difficulty. There is growing interest in devising alternative patterning methods that will support the evolution of microelectronics to the length scale. Block copolymerlithography, which uses self-assembled microdomains of block copolymers in thin films, can provide arrays of periodic patterns of length scales with a simple process and low cost. While this capability is attractive, the periodic nature of the microdomain patterns places significant restrictions on how block copolymerlithography can be practically implemented. In this review, the authors survey materials and methods for carrying out the controlled assembly of block copolymers in thin films for surface patterning applications. After a brief introduction to block copolymers and their phase behavior, the authors discuss ordering of block copolymer in thin films based on four different thickness categories. Approaches to directed self-assembly are reviewed along with the limitations and challenges of block copolymerlithography. Finally the authors note the circumstances that make it an opportune time to resolve the remaining technological issues facing block copolymerlithography and to demonstrate its utility as an adjunct to traditional photolithography.

Fabrication of surface plasmon waveguides and integrated components on ultrathin freestanding membranes26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2975196View Description Hide Description
The fabrication and physical characterisation of waveguides and integrated components on freestanding membranes are described. The waveguides consist of a thin narrow stripe, on an ultrathin large-area freestanding membrane clamped around its perimeter to an underlying Si substrate. The integrated components are implemented with this waveguide and consist of Mach-Zehnder interferometers and couplers. The waveguide and components are dimensioned such that they propagate long-range surface plasmon-polariton waves in a vacuum (air) or background. The fabrication process flow adopted and some specific process steps are described. Physical characterisation was conducted on structures having undergone intermediate process steps and on finished structures, and characterisation results are given and discussed. The structures were found to be robust enough for careful use, and to routinely sustain of point force without shattering.
Molecular-dynamics investigation of the surface characteristics of Fe–Cu magnetic thin-film layers26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2975197View Description Hide Description
Using molecular dynamics simulation, the structural characteristics of Fe and Cuthin filmsgrown on Cu and Fe(001) substrates, respectively, were investigated with respect to the incident energy of adatoms and substrate temperature. In the case of Cu on Fe(001), no surface alloying at the interface was observed in the early stage of thin-filmdeposition, and growth generally followed the layer-by-layer growth mode. For Fe on a Cu(001) surface, a mixture confined to a single atomic layer at the Cu(001) surface was found to form at room temperature while films showed island growth. The steering effect due to atomic attraction was also observed at low incident energy, resulting in a rougher surface. Fe/Cu(001) growth changed to a layer-by-layer mode for an incident energy of 6 eV. The different aspects of surface morphology between Fe/Cu(001) and Cu/Fe(001) systems were explained in terms of surface free energy and impact cascade diffusion.
Film continuity and interface bonding of thin boron carbonitride films on Ge(100) and Si(100)26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2976564View Description Hide Description
Motivated by the need for a passivation layer for Ge, thin films of amorphous boron carbonitride (BCN) were deposited on Ge(100) surfaces to study film continuity and interface bonding. Chemical vapor deposition on Ge(100) and Si(100) (studied for comparison) produced and stoichiometry films, respectively. When BCN is nominally 2.5–5 nm thick, the film's coverage of Ge(100) is continuous. This range was determined by (i) 0.5 kV ion scattering spectroscopy scans, in which the underlying Ge(100) substrate signal disappears upon continuous BCN coverage and (ii) the convergence to unity of the ratio of BCN thicknesses estimated by two angle resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS) techniques. Only 1.5–2 nm BCN was required for continuous coverage of Si(100), possibly due to better nucleation on this surface. ARXPS analysis indicates that the BCN-Ge(100) interface is clean and abrupt, with no evidence of an interfacial layer due to elemental intermixing. Constituent bonding in the BCN bulk is maintained at the Ge(100) interface. Preservation of the and full width at half maximum values after BCN deposition suggests a lack of distortion of Gesurface bonds, a criterion necessary for passivation if low interface state densities are to be achieved. BCN-Si(100) interface characteristics were similar to BCN-Ge(100).
Ti surface alloying of an AISI 316L stainless steel by low energy high current pulsed electron beam treatment26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2976566View Description Hide Description
Ti has been added into the surface layer of an AISI 316L stainless steel—by means of rapid surfacealloying of Ti powder—using the low energy, high current pulsed electron beam (LEHCPEB) technique with the aim of enhancing its corrosionresistance. The alloyed layer contained a mixture of the and phases and its depth increased with the number of pulses. Compared to the samples treated under the conventional LEHCPEB treatment (i.e., without surfacealloying), Ti addition improved further the corrosionresistance. This can be attributed to the addition of Ti into the surface layer together with the removal of MnS inclusions. However, the homogeneity of the Ti distribution decreased when the number of pulses increased. Therefore, contrary to the conventional LEHCPEB treatment, as a result of this decreased homogeneity, the corrosionresistance decreased when the number of LEHCPEB was too high. Therefore, a good control of the processing parameters is required to take the full advantage of the surface Ti addition by LEHCPEB.
Test particle simulation of the role of ballistic electrons in hybrid dc/rf capacitively coupled plasmas in argon26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2981064View Description Hide Description
Hybrid dc/rf plasma sources are an emerging equipment technology in plasma etching for semiconductor manufacturing. In this work, test particle simulations are used to describe the nature and role of the ballisticelectrons, which originate as secondary electrons on a dc/rf (i.e., VHF, ) biased upper electrode and are then accelerated in the sheath toward the opposite non-dc biased lower electrode. This opposite electrode, on which a wafer is placed, may have rf bias power applied to it at low frequencies. is typical. While a hybrid dc/rf plasma source is sustained by the VHF power source, simulations reveal ballisticelectrons assist in the production of a plasma characterized by a relatively high ionization rate constant, especially in the dcsheath. The dcsource helps to provide a source of high energy electrons that may reach the wafer. However, when the rf bias is applied on the lower electrode,ballisticelectrons are confined in the potential well formed between electrodes and easily thermalized in the bulk. The simulated electron density dependencies on the dc bias and lower electrode rf power describe a dual mode source and are consistent with measured data. When no rf power is applied on the electrode opposite to the dc power source, the bulk electron density drops with increasing dc power at constant VHF power; when rf power is applied to the electrode opposite to the dc power source, the bulk electron density increases with dc power at constant VHF power. The fraction of electrons significantly above thermal reaching the wafer is much higher when no rf power is applied at the lower electrode but the total flux lower. Depending on its level, rf power applied to the wafer may effectively suppress the number of ballisticelectrons that reach the wafer. Finally, the ionization rate constant due to ballisticelectrons can be fitted as a simple function of the electric field in the dcsheath.
Properties of octadecanethiol self-assembled monolayers deposited on GaAs from liquid and vapor phases26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2981067View Description Hide Description
Octadecanethiol (ODT), , self-assembledmonolayers(SAMs) were deposited on GaAs (100) substrates from solution and from vapor phase. The monolayers assembled from solution were prepared by incubating the substrate in a dilute millimolar ODT/ethanol solution, while vapor-deposited monolayers were prepared from vapor phase transport of ODT in an ultrahigh vacuum environment. The structural and optical characteristics of the resulting SAMs were examined with contact angle (CA) analysis, photoluminescence(PL) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and spectroscopic ellipsometry. Static CA measurements of the SAMs indicated the successful formation of highly organized monolayers by both preparation routes. In contrast, PL spectroscopy, AFM, and ellipsometry measurements showed differences in the optical and structural properties of SAMs prepared from liquid and vapor phases. The data obtained indicate that more densely packed monolayers exhibiting greater surface coverage and therefore, increased passivation characteristics are assembled from vapor phase.
In situ monitoring of material processing by a pulsed laser beam coupled via a lensed fiber into a scanning electron microscope26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2987946View Description Hide Description
In this study, a new method coupling laser irradiation into a dual-beam scanning electron microscope(SEM) and focused-ion-beam(FIB) system is developed. By using a lensed fiber, pulsed laser illumination could be successfully delivered onto the sample under SEM imaging, providing in situ monitoring for laser material processing applications including local modification of micro-/nanostructures and laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition. In situ characterization of the laser-induced features by high resolution SEM imaging and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry was successfully carried out. Furthermore, in situ repair of a contaminated lensed fiber probe during laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition was demonstrated via FIB milling. The results demonstrate the full compatibility of the lensed fiber apparatus with the dual-beam apparatus without disturbing the original functions of the system. The combination of guided laser radiation with SEM and FIB instruments offers a powerful capability for in situ monitoring of multilevel laser-based micro- and nanoscale material processing.
Surface sealing of electron beam physical vapor deposited thermal barrier coatings by high-intensity pulsed ion beam26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2987948View Description Hide Description
A surface sealing technology by employing high-intensity pulsed ion beam (HIPIB) technique is developed for electron beam physical vapor deposited (EB-PVD) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) to further improve the high temperature performance. The HIPIB irradiation can deliver a high-density energy up to into the shallow ion range of about within a short pulse width of less than , by which a micrometer-thick bridging layer was achieved on the gap between columnar grains of EB-PVD TBCs under a single pulse of . The thin bridging layer provided atmosphere shielding for the TBCs along with matching strain tolerance of the columnar top coat during thermal cycling. Cyclic oxidation tests at demonstrated that weight gain of the sealed TBC samples is decreased by about 60% from of the as-deposited ones.
Optimization of electrostatic lens systems for low-energy scanning microcolumn applications26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2987949View Description Hide Description
The optimization of a low-energy scanning microcolumn is proposed by adopting a modified Einzel lens sandwiched between an aligner and a deflector. The modified Einzel lens is composed of four electrodes, and the two center electrodes are specially designed quadrupole lenses having keyhole type rather than circular apertures. The outer electrodes of the Einzel lens having circular apertures are grounded, and the quadrupole lens is operated by applying the quadrupole voltages. The effects of the separated deflector system and the static quadrupole lens were investigated by analyzing the scanning electron beam spot at the target, and the results show that the proposed system can improve the performance of the scanning microcolumn.
Optical properties of carbonaceous nanoparticles produced in sputtering discharges26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2987950View Description Hide Description
In this work, the authors report on the optical properties of carbonaceous nanoparticles produced in argon sputtering dc discharges. These particles are the result of a nucleation-condensation mechanism in gas phase and form porous particulates with a mean diameter greater than . The resulting powderlike deposit, which can be collected in the chamber, is analyzed in terms of an effective medium approximation that allows the determination of their optical constants. These parameters are then used in a simple application of the Lorenz-Mie theory, in combination with a laser-extinction experiment, to provide the particle density in the plasma.
Angular distribution of elemental composition of films deposited by laser ablation of a target26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2987952View Description Hide Description
The angular distributions of elemental composition of films prepared by laser ablation of perovskite oxide have been investigated using electron probe microanalysis with wavelength-dispersive spectroscopy. Each constituent element showed two modal distribution composed of a broad distribution and a sharp distribution. Oxygen showed a broader distribution than that of Sr and Zr. At the polar angle close to surface normal direction (polar angle ), Zr concentration was higher than that of Sr in vacuum whereas in oxygen-containing atmosphere their concentrations were about the same. Below oxygen pressure of , Sr and Zr concentration increased and decreased with the increase in polar angle, respectively, whereas in oxygen partial pressure of , both elements showed no angular dependences. Broadening of angular distribution of all the elements was observed when deposition was performed under oxygen partial pressure of , which is considered to be caused by collisional scatterings of more than ten times with ambient gas molecules.
Effects of oxygen on low-temperature growth and band alignment of heterostructures26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2990853View Description Hide Description
Continuous ZnOthin films have been grown at low temperature on -sapphire substrates in a radio-frequency magnetron-sputtering chamber employing a substoichiometric ZnO target with and without extra oxygen feeding. The effects of oxygen on the growth and band alignment of the heterostructures were investigated by using scanning-electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction,photoluminescence and transmittance/absorbance, ultraviolet-resonant Raman scattering, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Very remarkable changes of the structural and optical properties resulted from the introduction of oxygen: the surface hexahedral facets were diminished; the size of the surface islands and, hence, the compressive strains were reduced; ultraviolet transparency of the ZnO film was enhanced, together with an increased band gap due to the reduced intrinsic shallow-donor defects; and hence, the free-electron concentration. The offset in valence bands of the heterostructure was increased by at certain conditions. This is likely due to the increased Ga–O bonds at the interface by the incorporation of extra oxygen at the initial growth of ZnO.
Room temperature ferromagnetism of Fe-implanted ZnO film26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2990855View Description Hide Description
The ZnO-based diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) with room temperatureferromagnetism were achieved by ion implantation. ions at with doses ranging from were implanted into -type ZnOfilms at room temperature. Subsequently, the samples were annealed at for in air ambient. The Fe-implanted content was determined by proton induced x-ray emission. The magnetic property was measured by the Quantum Design MPMS superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer. No trace of secondary phases or clusters was observed within the sensitivity of x-ray diffraction. Raman spectrum showed that the Fe ions replaced Zn atoms and incorporated into the crystal lattice positions of ZnO. Apparent ferromagnetichysteresis loops measured at were observed, and the temperature-dependentmagnetization showed that their Curie temperature exceeded room temperature.
In situ ultrahigh vacuum residual gas analyzer "calibration"26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2990856View Description Hide Description
Knowing the residual gas spectrum is essential for many applications and research in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). Residual gas analyzers (RGAs) are used for both qualitative and quantitative gas analyses, where the quadrupole mass analyzers are now the most popular. It was found that RGAs supplied by different manufacturers are not necessarily well calibrated for quantitative gas analysis. A procedure applied for in situ RGA "calibration" against a calibrated UHV total pressure gauge is described in this article. It was found that special attention should be paid to calibration, as RGAs are usually much more sensitive to than ionization gauges. The calibration coefficients are quite reproducible in Faraday cup mode, however, using the secondary electron multiplier requires frequent checks of the calibration coefficients. The coefficients obtained for the RGA allow the use of the RGA as an accurate device for gas spectrum analysis.
Effect of gas mixing ratio on etch behavior of thin films in -based inductively coupled plasmas26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2998806View Description Hide Description
The analysis of the thin film etch mechanism in the , , and inductively coupled plasmas was carried out. It was found that an increase in additive gas fraction at fixed gas pressure and input power results in increasing etch rate, which changes from for pure plasma up to 3.15, 2.40, and for 80% Ar, , and He, respectively. Langmuir probediagnostics and zero-dimensional plasma modeling indicated that both plasma parameters and active species kinetics are noticeably influenced by the initial composition of the gas mixture. From the model-based analysis of etch kinetics, it was shown that, similarly to the case of -based plasmas, the behavior of the etch rate corresponds to the ion-flux-limited etch regime.
Effect of oxygen on growth and properties of diamond thin film deposited at low surface temperature26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2998807View Description Hide Description
Polycrystalline diamondthin films are grown on a -type Si (100) single crystal substrate at a low surface depositiontemperature of using a microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process in an Ar-rich plasma containing different oxygen levels from 0% to 0.75%. The surface depositiontemperatures are measured and monitored by an IR thermometer capable of working in a plasma environment without any interference from the plasma emissions. The lower surface depositiontemperature at high microwave power of and higher gas pressure of is achieved by active cooling of the substrate from the backside using a specially designed cooling stage. An enhanced growth rate from is observed with varying oxygen from 0% to 0.75% in the plasma.Diamond grain size also increased from for the sample with no oxygen to for the sample with 0.75% oxygen. The diamondfilms are characterized using x-ray diffraction, environmental scanning electron microscopy field emission gun, Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The enhanced growth rate is correlated with the enhanced atomic hydrogen to ratio with increasing oxygen concentration in the plasma, which is measured by an in situ optical emission spectroscopy.
Copper ion transport induced dielectric failure: Inclusion of elastic drift and consequences for reliability26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2998808View Description Hide Description
The authors have modeled the copper ion concentration and internal electric field profiles in a dielectric by solving the transient nonlinear continuity/Poisson equations. The predicted time-to-failure of the dielectric correlates well with the theory that failure occurs once copper ions accumulate to the point where the induced electric field at the cathode exceeds a critical value. However, the copper ion concentration at the cathode required for failure was much higher than the reported ion solubility, raising doubts about the validity of the model. More realistic values for the required copper ion concentration were obtained by incorporating an "elastic" diffusion term in the continuity equation. Adding this new term and increasing solubility,, to the maximum value reported in the literature reduces the concentration at the cathode to a logically consistent value but does not significantly alter the predicted time-to-failure. The new formulation predicts a higher minimum applied electric field required to induce breakdown. This minimum field is larger than current devices see during operation.
Reclamation of a molecular beam epitaxy system and conversion for oxide epitaxy26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.2998810View Description Hide Description
An early 1980s vintage molecular beam epitaxy system, a Varian Gen II system, originally used for HgCdTe epitaxy, was converted into a system capable of growing thin-film complex metal oxides. The nature of some of the alternative oxides requires a thorough cleaning and, in some cases, complete replacement of system components. Details are provided regarding the chemistry of the etchants used, safety requirements for properly handling, and disposal of large quantities of etchants and etch by-products, and components that can be reused versus components that require replacement are given. Following the given procedures, an ultimate base pressure of was obtained. Films grown in the system after reclamation contained no evidence of previously present materials down to the detection limit of secondary ion mass spectrometry.
Surface water reactivity of polycrystalline MgO and CaO films investigated using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy26(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.3000058View Description Hide Description
The authors report a study comparing the surface reactivities of the alkaline earth oxides MgO and CaO with respect to water vapor under ultrahigh and high vacuum conditions. Using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and a series of in vacuo exposures spanning vacuum, to flowing oxygen, the extent of surface hydroxylation was investigated by monitoring the O photoelectron line. After the most aggressive exposures, the MgO surface reacted to form a maximum hydroxyl coverage of ML (monolayer), while the CaO surface reached a maximum coverage of ML. Both surface hydroxides could be removed by in vacuo thermal anneals; exposure to 250 and were required for MgO and CaO, respectively. These results are framed in terms of the suitability of these oxides in complex oxide-compound semiconductor heteroepitaxial multifunctional devices and with respect to understanding the development of surface morphology in epitaxial 111-oriented CaO and MgO thin films.

Wat Mahatat of Bangkok : Michelin's recommendations
Wat Mahatat takes its name from the relic housed in the main chedi here. Founded during the reign of Rama I in the 18C, the "temple of the Great Relic" is the site of the largest Buddhist university in Thailand. Visitors are often surprised by the relatively small size of the building (other more modern wings have since been built outside the walls) and the limited space in the inner courtyards, especially when they are told that the temple can house a thousand monks!

Banksy which disappeared from side of Wood Green Poundland expected to sell for up to £450,000
16:40 23 February 2013
A Banksy mural that disappeared from the side of a Poundland in Wood Green will go under the hammer tonight.
The street art, called Slave Labour, depicts a young boy hunched over a sewing machine making Union Jack bunting.
The work, which was painted in May 2012 just before the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, disappeared last weekend.
Fine Art Auctions in Miama, Florida, featured the piece on their website ahead of it being auctioned tonight, where it could fetch as much as £450,000.
A rat holding up a sign saying: "Why?" has been stencilled next to the empty space where the mural stood, with some speculating it could be another work by Banksy.
Haringey Council is leading a campaign to bring back the artwork, and last week called on the Arts Council to intervene due to the local and national significance of the art work.
Cllr Alan Strickland said: "The Banksy created a huge amount of excitement when it first appeared, and residents are understandably shocked and angry that it has been removed for private sale.
"The community feels that this art work was given to it for free, and that it should be kept in Haringey where it belongs, not sold for a fast buck.
"This is an area that was rocked by riots less than a year before this mural was painted, and for many in the community the painting has become a real symbol of local pride.
"We're asking the Arts Council to intervene because we believe that the strong local and national significance of the mural mean it is wrong to export it.
"We're determined to do what we can to bring back Banksy to Haringey."
The council is investigating how the removal of the mural occurred.
Council leader Claire Kober said they were trying to "explore all avenues" before the sale and had also appealed to Mayor of Miami Tomas Regalado to help.
In an open letter to FAA owner Frederic Thut from the people of Haringey, posted on the council's website, they urged him to abandon the sale.
The letter read: "We understand that there may be nothing illegal in the way this artwork was quietly removed from our streets and put up for auction by you in Miami.
"But for you to allow it to be sold for huge profit in this way would be morally wrong, and completely contrary to the spirit in which we believe it was given to our community."
Mr Thut said he had been inundated with angry phone calls from the UK over the sale, but has insisted that the artwork was not stolen.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "There have been no reports of any theft. It appears there has been a decision by someone to remove it for sale - there is no suggestion of any crime being committed.
"We have been in touch with the US authorities about the ownership of it and advised them that there has not been a theft."

ATLANTA -- In a back-and-forth contest that left most players gasping for air as they walked off the court after the final buzzer, NC State proved to have the most endurance with a 67-64 win in the second round of the ACC tournament.
Both teams seemed to counter each other at every turn for most of the game. Baskets were traded between the two all the way to the end.
Free throws late and some tight defense around the perimeter kept NC State's lead intact.
Turning point: NC State kept its lead throughout the entire second half, but watched as Virginia slowly crept closer. It wasn't until C.J. Leslie grabbed a rebound from Virginia forward Mike Scott's missed hook shot with 37 seconds remaining that the Wolfpack had enough security to force the Cavs to foul.
Key player: Leslie's team-high 19 points and 14 rebounds made him the hardest-working player on the floor Friday. He was 5-for-5 from the floor in the first half. He also finished with 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
Key stat: NC State didn't hurt itself by taking bad shots. The Wolfpack ended the game shooting 54 percent, hitting 27 of 50 shots.
Miscellaneous: When NC State won the 1983 ACC tournament in Atlanta, it did so by defeating Virginia 81-78 in the title game. ... Wolfpack forward Scott Wood has made a 3 in an ACC-best 29 consecutive games. He hit two Friday. ... Virginia entered the game with the ACC's No. 1 scoring defense (53.2), but NC State surpassed that mark with 7:35 remaining in the second half. ... NC State is 81-58 all time versus the Cavaliers. The Wolfpack also owns a 13-2 record against Virginia in the ACC tournament. ... A Virginia win would have put the Cavaliers in the ACC semifinals for the first time since 1995. They are on the longest semifinal drought in the conference.
What's next: Virginia was all but locked into the NCAA tournament before Friday's game, so the Cavaliers' loss shouldn't keep them from dancing. With the win, NC State might have played its way right into the NCAA tournament. The Wolfpack were on the bubble heading into the ACC tournament, but back-to-back wins might be enough to send them to the Big Dance.

Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Snooki tweeted a picture of herself today…no big deal, right? Wrong! In the picture she was completely makeup free! And, she looks totally different. Just look at the picture and compare it to the pictures below. She looks a lot younger and she actually looks like she has a lot of natural beauty. Which makes me wonder why she uses so much makeup, what is she trying to cover up? With makeup she looks like a drag queen and without it she looks like the girl next door.
Apparently a lot of people think she looks better without makeup, since she posted a tweet thanking them for their kind words,
"Can I just say how amazing my fans/supporters are! You guys really know how to put a smile on my face! Love you all beyond words."
Does this mean she will walk around without makeup from now on? Of course not. She will continue to look like a drag queen and she will continue to be incredibly annoying. She will continue to say stupid things like, "I'd vote for Donald Trump." So, I will continue to dislike her. However, this picture does make me dislike her a little less.
It's nice to know there is a real person under all that stuff.

text: Hello everyone. I have a bit complex setup of wireless networks at home. I use 2 wireless routers to share the internet connection between 3 computers and 2 laptops. The internet i use is adsl of mtnl. The phone outlet is in the hall room where my first wireless router is connected. The wireless signal is pretty good on the desktop computer on which i have a custom antenna installed for the wireless card. But the other computers and the 2 laptops couldn't catch the signals that well. So i have connected the other wireless router to the ethernet of the desktop and i have bridged connections to share internet among the other computers. So now this setup works gr8. I sometimes get IP Address Conflicts with 2 wireless routers on my desktop and one laptop. Does it not work this way? am i doing something wrong? It works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. i have to start the computers and laptops all together. It is a small home office. What needs to be done to avoid the random ip conflict errors?

Bhubaneswar, Aug 27 (IANS) Puri Shankaracharya Nishchalanand Saraswati Thursday demanded a ban on the Hindi film 'Kaminey' for allegedly demeaning Lord Jagannath.
The seer strongly objected to a scene in the movie where the phrase - 'Apna Hath Jagannath' - is written above a poster showing a scantily clad woman on the wall of a public toilet.
'The scene painted Lord Jagannath in poor light. People across the country should come forward to lodge their protests against such attempts to denigrate a Hindu god,' he told reporters at Puri, some 56 km from Bhubaneswar.
Meanwhile, the administration of the Lord Jagannath temple at Puri has decided to write to the producer of the hit movie starring Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra to delete the 'objectionable scene', a senior official of the shrine said Thursday.
The protests against the movie soon after its release Friday has spread to other parts of the state with people burning posters and staging demonstrations at various places.
Security has been stepped up at theatres across the state where the movie is being screened.
Earlier, the Puri police had filed a case under Section 295A (hurting religious sentiments) of the Indian Penal Code against the producer of the movie following a complaint lodged by a local religious outfit.
The film is directed by Vishal Bharadwaj.

Well, I've pretty much made up my mind that my next purchase is going to be a 1911. Now, I've got to choose which one I want. This will be a range gun, and probably not one that I'll carry concealed much/at all. I'd really like to keep the tab under $1K. There are just SO MANY 1911 makers to choose from. What would your recommendations be, and why? I'm kinda thinking along the lines of a Para Elite. Thanks!

Love my Ruger SR1911 5". At $700, it left money for ammo.

I don't believe in range guns, if I own it, I should be able to carry it. If I carry it my life may depend on it so I carry either an Ed Brown Special Forces or a Wilson Professional. Now that my wrists are getting bad enough that even a .45 is starting to hurt I've dropped down to a M&P 9. I only have about 450 rounds through it this week but I seem to be shooting it better than my .45's. Growing old really sucks - BUT it beats the alternative.
I'm far from a guru, but I'd be leaning towards an RIA with the extra cash spent on ammo to acquaint myself with it. I am however a bit biased since I own one and it's been excellent for me.

I have to agree with Colts or the best clone probably being a Springfield.
For a carry, I use a Colt Defender .45 that is built around the 3 inch bbl. Other short barreled models are 'chops' and develop problems sooner.
Personally, I have been shooting Colts for 4 decades and they are best, for me. For the range, I would use a 5 inch barrel.
For most, a Kodak (point & shoot) type sidearm is best as it takes years of practice to get the muscle memory to operate a safety or any other additional step, especially if you are under extreme life/death stress. However, for an off-duty sidearm, I have always been comfortable with 5 very good rounds Duty-Grade +P ammo.
My EDC is a KIMBER desert warrior, but the ruger sr1911 will hold it's own to my kimbers .
I bought a Kimber Pro Carry II used for under a thousand dollars and I really like it. See avatar. And I do carry it sometimes.
I bought my Remington R1 1911 for around $625 or so. I like it, no complaints...but I just feel... unsure. I think I would rather have gotten a Ruger (maybe) or saved up for a Colt/Springfield.
Again...nothing wrong with it... Fit and finish is great. (For the price point.) Just something makes me with I got something better.
I have an S&W E-Series. Cost me between 8-9 Hun. And the E doesn't stand for economy. It is a fine, fine weapon.

I have 1911s from several manufacturers. Some have pluses. Some have minuses. If I had to choose 1, it would be a plain Jane, no nonsense Colt.

The Yemen Plot
The source of a tip that alerted security agencies around the world to the package-bomb plot late last week was Jabir al-Fayfi, a Saudi national and former Guantánamo Bay inmate, a Yemeni security official said. The tip-off has been heralded as a major intelligence coup, but the detainee's shifting loyalties to al Qaeda over the years also underscore the challenges in battling the group. Al-Fayfi was released into Saudi custody from Guantánamo in late 2006 and graduated from a Saudi re-education program designed to sway Islamic militants away from violence. He rejoined al Qaeda in Yemen a year later.
The government of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has ordered 3,000 troops, including members from two of its U.S.-trained counterterrorism units, to southern strongholds of the al Qaeda affiliate suspected in the plot, according to a Yemeni security official. It was unclear if the new troops are moving against suspects connected to the bombs. The troops are headed to Shebwa and Abyan provinces, where the government is already engaged in a two-month-old offensive, as well as Mareb province.
The U.K. placed new restrictions on the transport of large computer printer cartridges on aircraft, U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May told Parliament. May also said a ban on unaccompanied airfreight coming from Yemen would be extended to Somalia, given possible contacts between al Qaeda in Yemen and terrorist groups in Somalia, as well as concern on airport security in Mogadishu. The Home Secretary said that all printer cartridges over 500 grams will be banned in passenger luggage on planes leaving the UK and as cargo into, via or from the U.K. unless the item originates from a known consigner or a regular supplier. These measures will in place for one month and May announced a wider review of "all aspects" of aircraft security.
Germany extended its ban on cargo aircraft from Yemen to include passenger flights until further notice, the country's aviation authority said. One of the bombs mailed from Yemen and found by authorities was routed to London through the UPS hub in Cologne in western Germany. A spokesman for Yemenia airlines confirmed the flight ban. He said the airline flies Tuesdays and Saturdays from San'a to Frankfurt.
This latest bombing attempt could strengthen the Obama administration's defense against a lawsuit challenging alleged government efforts to kill Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al Awlaki. U.S. authorities say Awlaki, whose fiery Islamist sermons are popular on jihadist Internet forums, is a leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the group that authorities believe is behind the bombs. He is believed to be among top terrorist leaders included in a secret U.S. targeted-killing program. Next Monday, lawyers are set to make oral arguments in federal court in Washington in a lawsuit filed by U.S. civil liberties groups representing the father of Awlaki, Nasser al Awlaki. Part of the father's lawsuit turns on the question of whether the younger Awlaki, a U.S. citizen, is an imminent threat to the U.S.
The U.K.'s manufacturing sector expanded at a faster pace in October for the first time since March, boosted by a sharp increase in export orders. The purchasing-managers' index for the manufacturing sector rose to 54.9 in October from 53.5 in September, Markit and the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply said. The September number was revised from an originally reported 53.4. The October outcome was much stronger than expected as economists surveyed last week predicted a PMI reading of 53. A reading above 50 indicates the sector is expanding, while a reading below 50 indicates it is contracting.
The U.K. government set out initiatives to help small businesses, including extending for four years a loan-guarantee program started by the previous administration, making available about £2 billion ($3.2 billion). The program was set up under the previous Labour government to facilitate bank lending to viable small businesses that lack the collateral to secure a normal commercial loan. The government will also commit a further £200 million over four years to Enterprise Capital Funds, which help companies attract equity investments from venture capitalists and informal investors.
The U.K. and France will sign defense treaties Tuesday bringing greater cooperation between Europe's two biggest military powers on everything from nuclear testing to the potential deployment of a joint expeditionary force, officials from both countries said.
In Italy, mudslides caused by heavy rains in Tuscany and elsewhere in the northern part of the country have killed three people, according to news reports. Several others were injured after a train derailed from mud-flooded tracks. Civil protection crews issued alerts for several northern rivers that they may breach if the rains continue and officials urged people to refrain from driving.
In Romania, a fighter jet crashed during a training exercise, killing two experienced pilots, the defense ministry said. It said in a statement that the MiG-21 Lancer went down, instantly killing the pilots, near the Transylvanian town of Campia Turzii and that the crew was on a weather reconnaissance flight before taking part in a pilot instruction flight. In the last 20 years, a total of 17 Russian-made MiGs have been destroyed in crashes in Romania, said Romania's chief prosecutor.
In Greece, a mail bomb addressed to the Mexican Embassy exploded at a delivery service in central Athens, burning one worker. Two Greek men were arrested nearby carrying pistols and mail bombs, one addressed to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, police said. A bomb in a package addressed to the Dutch Embassy was seized at another Athens delivery company. The incident began when a bomb went off in the hands of a female delivery-service employee, leaving her with injuries that hospital officials said were not life-threatening.
In Turkey, a group representing the Kurdish Workers Party denied responsibility for Sunday's suicide-bomb attack in Istanbul that wounded 32 people and said it would extend a unilateral cease-fire until the middle of next year.
In Iceland, torrents of water are pouring from a glacier that sits atop its most active volcano, an indication that the mountain is growing hotter and might be about to erupt, scientists said. The flood that began Thursday at the Grimsvotn volcano is similar to one in 2004 that lasted five days and ended with an eruption that disrupted European air traffic, a University of Iceland geophysicist said. There are no signs yet of the underground tremors that would signal an eruption at Grimsvotn, an Icelandic Meteorological Office geophysicist said.
Republicans are positioned for large gains Tuesday, likely retaking the House of Representatives and picking up seats in the Senate, amid strong voter frustration with President Barack Obama and the Democratic-run Congress, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. Republicans held a six-point edge, 49% to 43%, when likely voters were asked which party they hoped would be in charge. Nearly half of voters who favored GOP control of Congress said their feelings reflected a vote of protest against the Democrats—an unusually high proportion that pollsters said reflected deep frustration among many voters.
The Supreme Court is passing up an election-eve chance to weigh in on campaign-finance disclosure rules for groups that raise and spend money independently of candidates. The justices rejected an appeal from the conservative group SpeechNow.org, which want wants to limit what it has to tell the Federal Election Commission about its activities. Separately, the court agreed to decide whether patents on inventions that arise from federally funded research must go to the university where the inventor worked. The justices will hear an appeal from Stanford University, which sued pharmacutical giant Roche Holding over the alleged infringement of technology for detecting HIV levels in a patient's blood.
In Texas, opening statements began in the trial of former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who is accused of helping to illegally finance Texas legislative races in 2002. DeLay had been pressing for a trial since he was indicted five years ago, but the case was slowed by appeals of pretrial rulings, including his attorneys' attempt to move the trial out of Austin—the most Democratic city in one of the most Republican states.
In Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, a 62-year-old former leftist guerilla-turned-cabinet minister, was elected the country's first female president in a victory sealed by economic prosperity and the broad popularity of her predecessor and mentor, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. With 99% of the votes counted, Ms. Rousseff won 56% of the votes, compared with 44% for rival, José Serra, a former São Paulo governor, in a two-candidate runoff election. In early October, Ms. Rousseff won a multi-candidate first-round contest but failed to garner the 50% of votes needed to avoid a second round.
Manufacturing in China and India continued to surge in October, bucking the trend in the rest of the Asia-Pacific region, where strong currencies and concerns over the health of the global economy are dragging down business sentiment. The results should give heart to those who feared the engine of the global recovery was sputtering after PMI readings for China dipped briefly into contractionary territory earlier this year.
India's September merchandise exports rose 23.2% from a year earlier to $18.02 billion, the federal Commerce and Industry Ministry said. Imports grew 26.1% to $27.14 billion, with oil imports worth $7.49 billion, up 14.4% from a year ago. For the April-September period, exports increased 28% to $103.6 billion, while imports rose 30% to $166.5 billion, the ministry said in a statement. That took the trade deficit for the six-month period to $62.8 billion, expanding from $47.2 billion a year earlier.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pressed Cambodia to remain independent of China on key economic and environmental issues, as she continued an Asian tour aimed at expanding Washington's diplomatic influence in the region.
Indonesia's most volatile volcano—one of 22 that have been increasingly active—spewed searing clouds of gas and debris for hours in its most powerful eruption in a deadly week. No new casualties were reported.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visited one of the islands in the Russian Far East long the subject of a dispute with Japan. His visit is the first by a Russian or Soviet leader to a group of disputed islands just north of Hokkaido, known as the Southern Kurils in Russia and the Northern Territory in Japan.
Iran's opposition leader said the country's president would be unable to successfully implement a plan to slash energy and food subsidies, cutbacks that experts have argued will only compound Iran's economic troubles. Mir Hossein Mousavi was quoted by a prominent opposition website as saying that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government has sidelined experts who would have been key to enacting the plan aimed at saving the government billions of dollars by bringing prices of key commodities more in line with international norms.
Middle East
Iraqi security forces stormed a Baghdad church where militants had taken an entire congregation hostage for four hours, leaving at least 52 people dead, including a priest, Iraqi officials said. It wasn't immediately clear whether the hostages died at the hands of the attackers or during the rescue late on Sunday night in an affluent neighborhood of the capital. The incident began at dusk Sunday when militants wearing suicide vests and armed with grenades attacked the Iraqi stock exchange before capturing the nearby Our Lady of Deliverance church, one of Baghdad's main Catholic places of worship, taking about 120 Christians hostage.
In South Africa, new ministers were sworn in after the first major shuffle of President Jacob Zuma's cabinet since he took office 17 months ago. He said two ministers had swapped portfolios and seven had been axed.

I need to create a simple website that will have an indexer that can search through PDFs that are located in a series of folders.
I'd like it to be done using either Typo3 or Drupal (preferably Typo3 please I already have an existing site with typo3 that houses the files I want indexed and searchable.)
I would like the search results to show the text and surrounding characters (configurable).
When the result is clicked on I would like the PDF to be displayed and for the display to show the PDF directly zoomed in on where the search results came from in the PDF.
The site should have the ability to tag files, and to display the folder structure of the result.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

5.4 million Swedish kronor in funding has been awarded to the VISEAD project - a parallel project building on the SEAD infrastructure. See press release here (more information to come...).
Conference announcement! 9-11th November 2015: 3rd National Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology Sweden (CAA-SE) in Umeå - the home of SEAD. See http://www.trippus.net/CAA-SE2015 and Call for Papers.
SEAD is a national research infrastructure for archaeology and an international standard database for environmental archaeology data. It is being developed and managed at the Environmental Archaeology Lab (MAL), in collaboration with HUMlab at Umeå University. Development and data ingestion is progressing in partnership with The Laboratory for Ceramic Research and National laboratory for wood anatomy and dendrochronology at Lund University, Sweden. Future development plans include integration with the Swedish National Heritage Board's information systems and the capacity to serve as a data source for any system.
The system allows the online storage, extraction, analysis and visualisation of data on past climates, environments and human impacts, and forms part of an international network of research infrastructure for environmental archaeology and Quaternary palaeoecology. Our mission is to provide online tools to aid international researchers in these tasks, and to provide access to data that are currently not accessible online. Please click the buttons above for more information.
SEAD is the official database infrastructure of the ArchLab Consortium of Archaeological Research Laboratories, a partner in the Neotoma Paleoecology Database and Community and the newly established NSF funded network for Building Cyberinfrastructure for Transdisciplinary Research and Visualization of the Long-Term Human Ecodynamics of the North Atlantic.
SEAD has been financed by The Swedish Research Council, Umeå University Faculty of Arts and the Department of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies. Component projects have been funded by Lund University.
SEAD is always interested in hearing from anyone, including students and interns, wishing to undertake projects involving the database. See people for more information. Please contact the team should you wish to make your data available through the system, or work with us in any other capacity.Webmaster & project director: Phil Buckland

Here's something you don't hear every day: a freestyle over Chief Keef's "I Don't Like". And this time, Kirko throws his cup into the fray.
Tag: Kirko Bangz
Empty cup? Well last night in South Beach, Cameo's Lapdance Tuesdays welcomed Kirko Bangz and he kept the cups full by joining the partygoers
[vodpod id=Groupvideo.11425345&w=540&h=350&fv=] For Chris Brown's new free tune, he decides to add a little of his flavor to Kirko Bangz' strip club anthem, "That Pole".
Produced by Cardiak and Frank Dukes, Kid Ink and Kirko Bangz link up for a joint track off Kid Ink's debut, Up & Away on June 12.
As the latest guest for Sway's in-studio concert series, Kirko performs "Drank In My Cup" and "Play Me". He also shares advice for upcoming rappers and speaks on the Houston sound's influence in the game.
Elle Varner's new single is making waves and spawned a few remixes. The first features Wale and T-Pain and the other features Kirko Bangz replacing Wale. Two for ones are always good. Bonus: Elle Varner Ft. Kirko Bangz & T-Pain "Refill (Remix)" splash
[vodpod id=Groupvideo.11398929&w=540&h=350&fv=] Before hitting up 106 & Park, Kirko Bangz appeared on MTV's RapFix Live and kicked a verse before he left the building. Sorry Sway, he looks nothing like T.I. Ha!

I have a site which hits a MySQL database that's in the cloud with Amazon. The site is located on different servers and which server serves up the site is dependent on the location of the user. All is well when the DB is hit from the US, but when users in Asia or Europe open the site, it just hangs because the call to the DB is taking too long.
As you can tell, I'm not very experienced at all with "server stuff" (I've always worked with people who do this kind of thing FOR ME) so my question is simply...How is this typically done? I can't imagine that there is normally 3 different instances of the MySQL DB that sync up with each other. What is a typical architecture to handle this kind of thing?
Thanks. Sorry for the somewhat basic question, but any help would be appreciated in educating a web guy on how things should be done under the hood.

Plugging in briefs for Nov. 9
DHS energy help is available
The Oklahoma Department of Human Services will begin taking applications next month for assistance from the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Applications will begin Dec. 11 and be on a first-come, first-served basis. Applicants will need to provide identification, income verification and their most recent heating bill. "Many households, but not all, that are currently receiving public assistance through (DHS) may be automatically authorized for LIHEAP and will not need to make an application," said Cari Crittenden, program coordinator. "These households will be notified in early November of their eligibility." Eligibility for the home energy assistance program is based on household income and assets. Low-income households not receiving other public assistance may be eligible for home-energy assistance. To apply, applicants should go to their county DHS human services centers. A list of centers and phone numbers is online at okdhs.org/okdhslocal/
Chesapeake cited in arts support
Chesapeake Energy Corp. has been named to a list of the top 10 companies for private-sector support of the arts. Allied Arts nominated Chesapeake for inclusion on the list by Business Committee of the Arts, citing Chesapeake's support of the arts in Oklahoma City and other areas of the country in which the company operates. BCA recognized Chesapeake, the only Oklahoma-based nominee, for its sponsorships of arts programs, guidance to arts organizations, employee volunteerism and the creation of community arts events. "Chesapeake is honored to be recognized by Allied Arts and the BCA 10 as we believe the arts are an integral part of our community and society, enhancing the education and quality of life in the communities where our employees live and work," said Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon. "We believe everyone should have access to the arts, and our support reflects that goal. Chesapeake is committed to financially supporting our arts community and encouraging our employees and their efforts to foster creativity, innovation and civic pride."
Chesapeake trust to pay royalty
Chesapeake Granite Wash Trust will pay a distribution of 63 cents per common unit related to production on royalty interests between June 1 and Sept. 30. Subordinated units will receive 22.08 cents each. Distribution will be paid on Nov. 29.
Kimray earns certification
Oil field equipment manufacturer Kimray Inc. has earned certification from the American Petroleum Institute and International Organization of Standardization confirming its products and processes are of the highest quality. "ISO registration recognizes our efforts to provide the best possible product to our customers worldwide," CEO David Hill said. "I want to commend our employees for their dedication and teamwork in achieving this goal." Kimray implemented procedural changes, training, increased documentation and adjusted its operating systems to earn the certifications. The company will be subject to regular audits to ensure its compliance with performance standards.
Panhandle's reserves increase
Panhandle Oil and Gas Inc. increased its total proved reserves by 12 percent in fiscal year 2012, the company announced this week. Panhandle estimated its total proved reserves were 124.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent as of Sept. 30. The company was able to boost its production and new reserves by increasing drilling activity in several plays in western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle. Panhandle also purchased acreage in the Arkansas' Fayetteville Shale that included 193 producing wells. "This strategy continues to add to and build on the company's reserve base year over year," CEO Michael C. Coffman said. "We expect to continue to expand our reserve base and increase production volumes in fiscal 2013 by drilling on our existing minerals and leasehold. Mineral acreage or producing property acquisitions would further add to this growth."
Kirkpatrick adds vice president
Kirkpatrick Oil Co. has added Tim Newville as its vice president of operations. Newville, a 31-year veteran of the oil and natural gas industry, most recently was resource development manager for Chesapeake Energy Corp.'s eastern division, spearheading the company's operations in south Texas' oil-rich Eagle Ford Shale. Newville is a University of Oklahoma graduate who is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Family-owned Kirkpatrick Oil, established in 1950 by John E. Kirkpatrick, has oil and natural gas operations in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Colorado and Louisiana.

MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — Some hot summer work may bring some cool winter fun for young teenagers with discounts on ski passes at Mount Ashland in southern Oregon.
A free summer camp gives 12- through 14-year-olds the chance to do some manual labor in exchange for community service credit, learning about the environment and a discount on a season ski pass.
The Mail Tribune reports the Youth Summer Service Program shuttles children from Ashland and Medford up the mountain for various kinds of work, including bike trail improvements, erosion control and picking up trash.
Organizers say the youth work crews also gain some valuable outdoors skills by the end of the four-day camp.

On Monday, I am leaving Normal, Illinois and heading north about 50 miles to pick up the Northern Tier route, and then going west. I started a journal at crazyguy........
I'm pretty doggone anxious. Should be close to a four month tour if completed as planned. Of course, I only loosely planned it (bought the ACA maps and called it a plan). The equipment list I have on the journal is not at all complete. I still need to add a few things I forgot, suchas cell phone and charger, first aid stuff, etc. I listed it all off the top of my head. I'll fix it up before I go.
I don't know how realistic it will be for me to update it very regularly. One tip I received for up[loading pictures is to go to a one hour photo place and have all your pictures put on a CD. Many libraries won't allow or their computers won't recognize your camera when you connect it.

Twenty-four-year-old Kayoko Shigeta takes the term "hopeless romantic" to a new level. She is so desperate to find Mr. Right that she is blinded to the eligible men around her, slinging herself from one horrible relationship to another while dragging her tragically-hip friend Fuku along for the ride. In the midst of her hubby hunting, she doesn't seem to notice Takahashi, a fellow employee at the bookstore she works at, nor his love for her. With "middle age" creeping up on her, Shigeta and her family are praying for wedding bells, but with Shigeta's inability to tell the difference from love and lust and her poor self esteem, they could be waiting for a long time...
