I have a pool, called data00. Using the catalog browser, I have expired many
backup images that were residing in this pool. It seems like the tapes in
the pool have not been freed up yet though, they still show they have images
on them.
What process normally takes care of expiring, or making available, tapes
that no longer have valid images on them? How do i run this process manually
so i don't have to expire each tape individually?

Every Grand World Voyage lives up to its name, but this year's journey was made especially memorable by the presence of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, who boarded ms Amsterdam at Durban, South Africa, March 28 and disembarked at Cape Town April 1.
The holidays are a time of giving, and while giving is part of the corporate culture at Holland America Line year-round, this time of year presents extra opportunities to spread a little cheer to those in need.

Thanks to Ingrid Zeeuw, Product & Marketing Manager North & Central Europe, for these photos and post.
Yesterday in Holland America Line's Rotterdam office, President and CEO Stein Kruse celebrated the 140th anniversary of the company with a beautiful cake. The cake had a very unique element — a QR code! Anyone who scans the code into their smartphone will go to an online video about the 140th Anniversary. Following the office celebration, there was a special walking tour from the ss Rotterdam to the line's former office at Hotel New York. The evening culminated with a dinner on ss Rotterdam.
Holland America Line President and CEO and Seabourn Chairman Stein Kruse joined employees during the companies' fifth annual community giving week at Northwest Harvest, an organization that feeds the hungry in Washington State.
As part of annual holiday activities, more than 400 Holland America Line and Seabourn employees helped process and prepare more than 100,000 pounds of food for area food banks, shelters and meal programs. During the week of Dec. 3 through 7, employees volunteered for morning and afternoon shifts at the Kent, Wash., distribution center for Northwest Harvest. Kruse also presented Northwest Harvest with a monetary and grocery card donation totaling more than $2,700 on behalf of the cruise lines and their employees.
Special thanks to HAL's Director Mariner Society Gerald Bernhoft for this post.
Holland America Line's flagship the ms Amsterdam set sail from Seattle Friday, Sept. 21, 2012, for her 75-day Grand Asia and Australia Voyage. This circle navigation of the Pacific Rim will showcase the people and cultures of Russia, South Korea, China, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa and Hawaii, before arriving in San Diego Dec. 5, 2012. Seattle's Smith Cove cruise terminal set the stage for this memorable voyage. Red Chinese lanterns hung from the ceiling and a 20-foot statue of Neptune greeted guests at the entrance with a Bon Voyage sign intertwined with fresh flowers. The check-in desks were lined with tropical floral arrangements including flags of each country the guests would visit in the next 75 days.
Although the skies were gray with a slight drizzle, smiles from the ship's officers and crew warmed up the terminal as they greeted arriving guests. Holland America Line President & CEO Stein Kruse, Captain Everson, Hotel Manager Henk Mensink, myself, Cruise Director Gene Young and Sr. Director Revenue Management Andrew Sherry greeted several Holland America Line Mariners at embarkation. President's Club members Ms. Dolly Smith, Mr. Ronald Evans and his wife Mrs. Cheri Smith-Evans have sailed on Holland America Line collectively over 5,800 days. Bon Voyage ms Amsterdam on your 2012 Grand Asia and Australia Voyage!

Here are photos from Amsterdam's grand "Mardi Gras Afloat!" The Lido's magradome pool became a paddle boat restaurant area with Mardi Gras decorations and Jazz music just like on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. We set up Bourbon street light's and market stalls and colorful tables with gold, green and purple all over the place. The ceiling panel was decorated with balcony banners and the ship's officers, crew and guests wore festive outfits and masks like the clowns, jesters and musical entertainment during the parade.
At 7 p.m., the ship's horn sounded and all of the crew froze. No movement and no blinking and then we took part in a flash mob for one minute. Our President and CEO, Mr. Stein Kruse, along with his wife Linda, was on board the Amsterdam during this time. They were impressed with the event, the decorations and the food and drinks. Enjoy the photos.
Special thanks to Kelsey Differding, Holland America Line's corporate giving coordinator, for submitting this post and photos of HAL employees volunteering at Northwest Harvest, a statewide hunger-relief agency that distributes food to a network of independent food banks around Washington State.
As part of Holland America Line's annual holiday activities, employees at the Seattle corporate office donated their time and services to Northwest Harvest, an organization that feeds the hungry in Washington. Employees volunteered the week of December 5th at the warehouse in Kent where they sorted and boxed a variety of foods including rice, pears and carrots. The end result was over 100,000 pounds of food processed for distribution to local food banks and programs. During one of the volunteer shifts Stein Kruse, Holland America Line President and CEO, presented a monetary and grocery card donation totaling $11,000 on behalf of the cruise line and its employees.
On August 30, Bangkit Prbadi unveiled a beautiful collection of caricatures depicting various officers and crew of the Oosterdam. It only took him four days to complete 20 caricatures. Bangkit currently works as night steward aboard the Oosterdam and started working with HAL in 2008 aboard the Noordam. He is from Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia, and has been drawing caricatures since 2003. It was only by chance did he discover his talent. He loves to spend his free time making art. He has a small art studio and art gallery at home. Caricature is his favorite style of art besides oil painting.
Holland America Line President and CEO Stein Kruse received a caricature drawing from Bangkit while hosting a VIP luncheon on the Oosterdam in Seattle on September 11, 2011.
Joe Reina is Oosterdam's human resources manager.

There are plenty of characters that have come into the WWE over a number of years. They range from the comedic to the strange. They can even be terrible.
There is no way of knowing how a gimmick will be received so the only way to find the right formula is to keep trying.
One theme that has been used through the decades is the animal mascot. From trying to incorporate a feeling with a certain wrestler to making a nickname stand out, animals have been used by the WWE to get a certain gimmick over.
Most of the animals on this list are real, but all of them were entertaining.

I really enjoyed this post! You have a great perspective here and I think you are on to something great! I am an Instructional Technology Trainer for my district so I don't have a class, but I am trying to be as patient as possible helping teachers use technology this year. Sometimes a gentle nudge is all they need, a supporting person in the back of the room. And if that is all it takes for them to infuse tech in their room than I am game.ReplyDelete
This is a very interesting post and has me thinking as I get set to meet my students for the first time this year. I like the idea of no labeled place for coats. I worry about my autistic students though as they require routine, but I'm sure i can find a way to make it work for them. I have many items in my classroom that are communal. I also refuse to assign class jobs as I feel we all need to be responsible for keeping the class in order. We all need to take pride in where we learn. Children will help one another and the room always looks good at the end of the day. I don't buy that the same students do the work all the time, because I've seen it with my own eyes. Yes, they all have jobs they'd prefer to do over others but in the end everyone is contributing which is what I want most. KarenReplyDelete

China's trade declined abruptly in June in a sign growth in the world's second-largest economy might be cooling even more sharply than expected.
Exports fell by 3.1% compared with a year earlier and imports contracted by 0.7%, customs data showed today. Both were below forecasts of growth in the low single digits.
China's economic growth has slowed this year and is expected to fall further due to weak global demand and an effort by the Chinese central bank to cool a credit boom.
The country's new leaders, who took power last year, say they want to pursue slower, more self-sustaining growth based on domestic consumption, reducing reliance on trade and investment.
But some analysts say the latest slowdown might be so deep they could be forced to temporarily reverse course and boost lending or government spending to stimulate growth.
A decline in Chinese economic activity could have global repercussions, denting revenues for suppliers of commodities and industrial components such as Australia, Brazil and Southeast Asia. Lower Chinese demand already has depressed global prices for iron ore, copper and other raw materials, cooling an economic boom for exporters.
The ruling party's growth target this year is 7.5%, down by almost half from 2007's staggering growth rate of 14.2%. Some analysts have suggested growth might dip below 7% in coming months - dangerously low by Chinese standards.
Some private sector forecasters cut their growth outlook for the year, though to still robust levels above 7%, after a credit crunch hit China's financial markets last month. That came as the central bank tried to rein in a lending boom regulators worry could spiral out of control.
Chinese leaders have promised to promote private businesses that generate most of China's new jobs and wealth but have yet to make major changes.
Retail sales have fallen short of official forecasts and a HSBC survey of manufacturers showed activity contracted in June for a second month.
But Chinese leaders are unlikely to back away from efforts to overhaul the country's growth model, analysts said. They expect China to report slower growth in trade due to a crackdown on misreporting of data by exporters as a way to evade currency controls and bring extra money into the country.
But even with that taken into account, today's figures were below forecasts for exports to rise by up to 3.5% and imports to grow by up to 1.5%.
June's export growth was down from May's year-on-year gain of 13.5% and import growth was down from 8.2%.
China's politically sensitive global trade surplus contracted by 12.4% compared with a year earlier to $27.1 billion.
Exports were $174.3 billion while imports were $147.2 billion.
Growth in exports to the US, China's biggest foreign market, fell to 1.8% from May's rate of 3.5%. Exports to the 27-nation European Union contracted 3.9%.

> Trunk gun.
June 2, 2012, 10:23 AM
How would you have an ar-15 in a truck. I live in Illinois so a gun has to be inclosed in a case and unloaded. So i was wondering under these circumstances how would you have the gun in your truck?

June 2, 2012, 10:26 AM
Just keep the gun enclosed in the case and keep the magazine unloaded. What are you stumbling over? Do you not have enough room in the cab (S10 or similar small truck)?
June 2, 2012, 10:27 AM
Yes a s10 so there is not much room at all.
June 2, 2012, 10:30 AM
My recommendation (if it is legal) would be to either forego the AR-15 and get a good pistol and pistol safe to lock it in OR get a hard Tonneau cover for your truck and make a rack or holder of some kind to keep the case in one spot.
June 2, 2012, 10:31 AM
It is legal to put it in the glove box or similar place. It just has to be enclosed in something.
June 2, 2012, 10:32 AM
A pistol that is.
June 2, 2012, 10:34 AM
They make a small pistol lock-box that comes with a cable. I routed mine beneath my seat so I can take off my pistol when I am going into a building that does not permit carry. In your case you could easily put a pistol in it and keep the ammo separate. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Secure-It-Handgun-Storage-Safe/dp/B000HBB15U
June 2, 2012, 11:14 AM
They have lots of this style deal..
June 2, 2012, 11:34 AM
IMO, a gun that you would keep habitually in a truck (or any vehicle, but especially a truck) should be an inexpensive throwaway, something that you wouldn't mind losing. I don't think an AR-15 would qualify as that, unless it's a real beater. I transport guns in vehicles only for specific purposes. They are much safer and more secure to keep at home.
June 3, 2012, 12:54 AM
See Post #12 and the two PDF's in that post for more information on "cased" guns in Illinois. The second link also applies to NON-residents.
loose noose
June 3, 2012, 01:24 PM
dbrown, What is wrong with placing the AR-15 in a soft case and putting it behind the front seat. I know in even a small truck such as a S-10 there is room behind the front seat even if you have the seat all the way back.:confused:

Used it for intestinal parasites
Posted by Reviewer2972257 on Mar 27, 2013
My naturopathic doctor recommended me this supplement because I was having intestinal parasites. I was bloated, having pain in my intestines, also noisy intestines and diarrhea. I was taking in between 9 to 12 caps per day, devided to 3, 15-30 min before meals, as per my doctor advice for about two weeks. In combination with other supplements that my doctor gave me i got rid of these nasty creatures. Now I use it when I go on vacation as a preventive method not to get any parasites from the food, water and other stuff that I get in contact with during my vacation (3 caps per day for about 1 week).

You may feel fortunate and abundant today, and this could inspire you to be generous and share your blessings with others. You may wish to explore opportunities to reach out to others in meaningful ways, such as donating time or financial resources to worthwhile organizations. At the same time, you could also think about ways to serve on more personal levels today, such as mentoring a child, becoming a companion for the elderly or disabled, or even playing with animals at your local shelter. One of the most powerful ways to serve others is to be aware of those who may need emotional support and extending kindness to them. Offering a few kind words or a sympathetic ear may seem like small gestures, but they can affect people profoundly. It doesn't take much effort to brighten someone's day.
Making an effort to serve others in small ways during the course of our day gives us a sense of empowerment and satisfaction because we can make a difference. While large efforts to serve others are honorable and worthwhile, we can also make a powerful difference by working on a smaller scale. As we share our blessings and joy with others, we benefit from seeing the power we have to change the world for the better. By blessing others with your generosity today, you will also be blessing yourself.

Unseating Privilege: Rawls, Equality of Opportunity, and Wealth Transfer Taxation
Jennifer Bird-Pollan
University of Kentucky - College of Law
59 Wayne Law Review 713
This Article is the second in a series that examines the estate tax from a particular philosophical position in order to demonstrate the relevance and importance of the wealth transfer taxes to that position. In this Article, I explore Rawlsian equality of opportunity, a philosophical position that is at the heart of much American thought. Equality of opportunity requires not only ensuring that sufficient opportunities are available to the least well-off members of society but also that opportunities are not available to other members merely because of their wealth or other arbitrary advantages. Therefore, an income tax alone, even one with high rates on the wealthy, would be insufficient to achieve these goals. While revenue raised via the income tax should be used to provide additional opportunities to low-income members of society, wealth transfer taxes provide the additional safeguard of preventing the heirs of wealthy individuals from inheriting wealth that would provide them with additional, unwarranted and unjust, opportunities. Given the importance of the wealth transfer taxes, this Article also examines the question of what form of tax is most consistent with Rawls' position, ultimately determining that an inheritance or accessions tax best fits the role.

From the readme for v8.6
C. Remote Agent backwards compatibility:
In the course of upgrading to Backup Exec 8.6, you may find it necessary to
postpone the upgrade of Windows NT and Windows 2000 Remote Agents on some remote
systems. Backup Exec is capable of utilizing the 8.5 Windows NT and Windows 2000
Remote Agent until those systems can be upgraded. It is
recommended that those systems be upgraded as soon as possible.

Soft-spoken Penn Ketchum seems an unlikely cinema mogul. The Brooklyn native married a Manheim girl he met on his first day at Susquehanna University, settled in Lititz, near Lancaster's airport, and spent 10 years working for Lancaster County, starting as a $20,000-a-year drug-and-alcohol counselor at the King Street prison.
After losing the county's top staff job (county administrator) to a rival with an MBA, Ketchum turned to the private sector. Tired of driving his young family to distant theaters, he scouted the cinema business, dominated by national chains, haunted by bankruptcies. He learned that AMC Theatres had planned a Lititz complex but canceled after imposing a metro-only corporate policy. He dialed investors.

Whew. Last week was one of the busiest weeks I've had in a while. My brother and his wife came to visit us over the weekend so I was busy cleaning up our home and finally getting all the de-cluttering done I'd been wanting to get done for months. AND I had to prepare lunch for 40 people at my husband's Wellness Practice Club at school on Friday. Oh yeah, as well as the regular "mom" duties of cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the kids. Not a lot of time for blogging. Or much else. But last weekend was a blast.
So, enchiladas . . . I think these were the first vegetarian enchiladas I've ever made. I've never been too fond of mushrooms, but I've been trying to get over their weird texture because they add such a nice flavor to dishes. Portobellos smell heavenly when they're roasting. And they're quite "meaty" so we didn't even miss having meat in our enchiladas. The sauce that goes on these is AWESOME. Spicy and flavorful, and a nice change from the typical stuff that comes from a can.
Remember that post I did about time management while cooking? This recipe is another wonderful example preparing components of the recipe ahead of time so you don't spend forever in the kitchen right before meal time. I added tips in the recipe for ya.
Roasted Poblano Sauce:
1 poblano pepper
2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/8 tsp. ground chipotle pepper (optional)
2 cups crushed tomatoes
about 1/4 cup water (to thin out the sauce)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped + extra for garnish
2 roasted red peppers, diced (jarred or fresh)
12 oz. portobellos (about 4-5 large), stemmed, gills scraped out, and diced
1/2 red onion, diced
extra virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
Other ingredients:
12 corn or whole wheat flour tortillas
4 oz. queso fresco
fresh tomatoes or pico de gallo, for serving
Preheat oven to 425 F.
To prepare the sauce: Roast the poblano pepper (and red peppers if using fresh) directly over the flame of a gas burner, turning frequently with tongs, until evenly charred. (Alternatively, char under the broiler, turning once or twice, for 5 to 7 minutes total.) Transfer to a deep bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to steam for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, salt, cumin, chili powder, paprika and ground chipotle (optional) and cook, stirring, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Peel the pepper, discard the stem and seeds, and chop. Add to the saucepan along with the tomatoes, water, and chopped cilantro. Return to medium heat and cook, uncovered, at a steady simmer, until the liquid has reduced slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Puree using an immersion or stick blender (or very carefully transfer to a blender or food processor) until smooth. TIP: Can be done a day or two in advance.
To prepare the filling: While the sauce simmers, place the mushrooms and red onion in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and browned in spots, about 15 minutes total. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in beans and roasted red peppers (if you are using jarred peppers make sure to remove the excess moisture). TIP: Can be done a few hours in advance.
Reduce oven temperature to 375 F.
To prepare the enchiladas: Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Place a skillet over medium heat. Coat both sides of a tortilla with cooking spray. Heat in skillet for 5 to 10 seconds per side, adjusting the heat if the pan gets too hot. (Or you can warm the tortillas in the microwave.) Spread about 1/3 cup of the filling and 1 Tbsp. of the sauce down the middle of the tortilla and roll it up to enclose the filling. Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, filling and sauce. Spread the remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Top with crumbled queso fresco.
Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, until hot, about 15-20 minutes. Serve with fresh tomato or pico de gallo and garnish with cilantro.
Serves 4-6.
Nat's Notes:
1. Poblanos look like jalapenos only larger and darker green. Sometimes they're called "Pasillas" at the store. I only used half of the poblano and it was plenty spicy for us. I tend to tone things down a bit for my toddlers, though. Also, if the poblano isn't cooked thoroughly, it will retain more of its heat. (That may have been why my pepper was too spicy.)
2. I made corn tortillas from scratch (can also be done far in advance, simply freeze or chill them, then warm them when you're ready to use them so they don't break) and it added a lot to the flavor of the enchiladas.
3. I didn't have enough queso fresco on hand so I sprinkled a bit of shredded cheddar along with it.

Western New Yorkers have become all too familiar with the horror of animal abuse over the past year. One dog was set on fire, another mercilessly beaten – kicked, apparently – and left to die, its jaw broken.
While these crimes are shocking, they are only the ones the public knows about. Dog fights are common here. So are cock fights. People involved in animal cruelty are liable to be involved in other criminal activities, including violence against other people.
It was heartening that Buffalo police responded so forcefully last year when a Jack Russell terrier puppy, renamed Phoenix, was purposely set on fire. We hope Niagara Falls police are similarly pursuing whoever broke the jaw of an 8-week-old puppy last week and discarded it near trash cans.
But what has been lacking in the effort to combat animal cruelty is a broader approach to the problem. New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman is joining that fight with a welcome initiative that employs the resources of multiple agencies. Along with his office and its regional offices across the state, the program will also include the Consumer Fraud Bureau, the Criminal Prosecutions Bureau, the Organized Crime Task Force and the Investigations Bureau.
"Fighting animal cruelty is both a consumer protection issue and a public safety issue," Schneiderman said, noting "a direct correlation between the dogfighting rings and other criminal enterprises, including gangs, gambling and illegal drugs, that put our communities at risk."
The point is that if anyone believes that preventing animals from being abused is, on its own, insufficient cause to take the problem more seriously, there are plenty of other reasons to do so. With his initiative, Schneiderman is not merely acknowledging that fact, but is taking steps to approach this crime in a way that reflects it.
Among other things, the initiative includes stiffer penalties for those who abuse or neglect animals, as well as those involved in organized dogfighting rings. It also pushes for compliance with the state's Pet Lemon Law by making it tougher for those who run "puppy mills" to operate – a worthy development on its own.
The combination of investigative resources should help to enforce the laws more effectively. As Barbara Carr, executive director of the SPCA Serving Erie County, noted, agencies investigating a crime scene will each have their own focus. For example, she said, SPCA investigators won't likely recognize evidence of arms and drug trafficking at the scene of a dogfight. "If we're all sharing information, you get better results," Carr said.
We can think of no better way to launch this new effort than for it to devote appropriate resources to finding the abuser who broke the jaw of an 8-week-old puppy and left it to die. That individual merits a serious intervention.

Wood, Epoxy, Plastic and Metal Tips For Paper Crafters

Use this quick guide for tips on everything from incorporating wood into your scrapbooks to tips on staining or inking.
Wood, Epoxy, Plastics, Metal Tips For Paper Crafters
- When using wood, make sure all edges are smooth. If there are rough edges, sand smooth with fine sanding paper or emery board.
- Wood can be painted, chalked, inked or stained. Make sure any color is set (you may have to heat set some inks) and completely dry before using.
- It's best to use very thin wood embellishments in scrapbooking, cardmaking, and paper arts. Thick wood pieces may end up damaging other pages.
- If you want a touch of wood, try wood papers. They are very thin and can be cut or punched. In the long run it's a very cost effective way to add a unique touch.
- You can get the effect of epoxy by using clear or liquid laminates. Just squeeze the liquid laminate onto the surface slowly so it stays a raised puddle. Allow to dry 100% and cure at least 24-48 hours before using.
- Store any epoxy embellishments with protection for the top so it doesn't get scratched. Scratches can dull the shiny, see-through quality of the epoxy.
- Even though an embellishment may be self-adhesive, better safe than sorry, so dab a little liquid glue onto the back before placement.
- Protect plastics with page protectors because just like epoxy, the surface can scratch and dull easily.
- Clear shrink plastic or craft plastic can be used for windows and shaker cards.
- If you don't want metal to rust or tarnish, protect the entire surface with a spray sealer or finish (such as Krylon Crystal Coat) for long-term protection.
- Just like wood, make sure all metal edges are smooth. Fine sanding paper or an emery board will smooth rough edges.
- When working with metal, use metal tools (wire cutters, snippers) not your paper tools. Metal can chip and damage regular scissors, personal trimmers, and other blades.
- Sheet metals, also called foils can be cut or punched. Be very careful, however, because the edges can be razor sharp.

Let's face it: Film and TV awards shows are disconnected from reality. But that does that mean investors shouldn't care? Hardly. Just as Oscar-winning films have a way of boosting studio profits, critically acclaimed shows sometimes grow to become ratings monsters.
Who will get the nod this year? We won't know until Sept. 22, when the Primetime Emmy Awards roll out the red carpet in Hollywood. The following slideshow details the nominees by network and explains why these stocks are poised to profit even more in the years ahead.
Meanwhile, Silicon Valley isn't content to just let Hollywood control the content game. Several big names are vying for a piece of the profit pie as TV becomes a watch-anywhere experience. Our analysts believe Walt Disney will do well regardless, and name two other stocks you many want to own in a shocking new video report. Care to learn more? Click here to watch now -- it's free.

Eastbound and Down
Whether it is the finished product or a component to produce a finished product, it probably spent time being transported by truck. The trucking industry criss-crosses the globe everywhere there are roads and even some areas where there are not. Goals of zero emission trucking fleets are far from reality today but increasing the efficiency of trucking by reducing drag lowers costs and reduces emissions.
Due to the size of the global trucking fleet, even small reductions add up in a big way. Structural additions to semi-trailers change the flow of air and when designed thoughtfully can increase fuel efficiency by reducing drag. When driving, you have probably encountered trucks and felt the waves of air buffing your vehicle as you come close to the truck. By adding wheel covers, skirts, or tails to the truck and trailer, the aerodynamics can be increased. By being more aerodynamic, less fuel is required which in turn reduces the emissions being released. This technology is available now and will continue to reduce the energy required to transport goods even when non-carbon fuels become the norm.
Companies, including Freight Wing, Nose Cone, ATDynamics, and Transtex Composite, provide products that reduce aerodynamic drag. Studies continue to show fuel reductions that may surpass 10%. Results are highest when using multiple technologies such as skirts and tails. The Internationally recognized standards organization, SAE International, set the guidelines for proper testing and the reliable comparison of data.
Skirts are placed under a semi-trailer length-wise between the wheels. The skirt is essentially a fairing that increase the aerodynamics by moving air along the side and reducing poor flow underneath the trailer. While the skirt has clearance over the road, the bottom is typically made of a flexible material to withstand impact with obstacles such as snow and curbs when making wide turns.
Tails are the additions most likely to turn heads. A tail is placed on the rear of the trailer to increase aerodynamics. A tail must be able to be moved quickly and easily to not interfere with the loading and unloading of the trailer. By tapering the airflow at the rear of the trailer a tail reduces drag.
The movie "Smokey and the Bandit" was released in 1977. Notably, even with a fuel crisis developing in the late 70's, the movie shows gas prices of well under $1 per gallon (USD). The plot of the movie revolves around a high-speed trucking run to deliver beer which, spoiler alert, is accomplished with little time to spare. If they had had a skirt and tail on the truck, possibly they could have saved a stop for fuel and arrived even sooner.

EDINBURG - Carmen Rincon and her brother, Hugo, may be just two of 11,500 students at The University of Texas-Pan American. But they represent a growing trend of students nationwide who are getting a headstart on college before graduating high school.
Thanks to Advanced Placement (AP) tests, concurrent enrollment and the UTPA University Scholars program, the Pharr-San-Juan-Alamo Memorial graduates will receive their college degrees sooner than the customary four or five years.
Already a junior, Hugo, 20, is majoring in mechanical engineering during his second year at UTPA. Carmen, a first-year student, is a biology major in the UTPA/Baylor College of Medicine Premedical Honors College.
"High school students should take advantage of concurrent enrollment and AP courses because they help you with your freshman courses," said Carmen, 18. "And if you get the hours out of the way, you have more time to take your sophomore courses, which put you on a faster pace to graduate."
Both Hugo and Carmen are University Scholars. Started in 1998, the program allows entering freshmen from Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr and Willacy counties the opportunity to receive a four-year tuition and fees Distinguished Achievement Scholarship and designation as a University Scholar.
To qualify, a student must have a "B" average in 12 hours of AP or concurrent enrollment credit from four separate exams or courses in different subjects. Or, a student can have a "B" average in six hours of AP or concurrent enrollment credit and a minimum composite ACT score of 24 or minimum composite SAT score of 1110.
In just two years, the University Scholars program has grown tremendously. Fifty-five of the 75 applicants were accepted this year, a 189 percent jump from the 19 of 22 applicants approved a year earlier.
Genese Lamare, a 19-year-old pre-med student in the UTPA/Baylor College of Medicine Premedical Honors College, is also a University Scholar. She wrestled with three other schools offering soccer scholarships before deciding UTPA's offer was too good to pass up.
"Everything has been great so far," said Lamare, a biology major. "I think I'm getting everything I need to eventually get where I want to go (Baylor University). I miss playing soccer, but I think about where I'll be four years from now, and I don't regret a thing."
The Premedical Honors College is operated by UTPA and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston to provide rigorous undergraduate educational experiences in preparation for medical school. Its overall goal is to increase the number of physicians practicing in the medically underserved region of South Texas.
With 35 credit hours, Lemare already is a sophomore after just one regular semester. She took several AP courses at McAllen Memorial High School and passed corresponding exams in English and history.
Then, with the help of her father, James - a former dean of Social and Behavioral Sciences at UTPA - Lemare applied for and was accepted to the University Scholars program. Coupled with the honors college scholarship, her education costs are essentially covered.
"I'd tell (high school students) to take as many AP classes and tests as you can," Lamare said. "I only took a few, and I wish I had taken more. Every credit you can get helps."
According to Earl (Bud) Frankenberger, interim vice president for enrollment and student services, the University Scholars program is the summit of a pyramid designed to attract high-performing students to UT Pan American. Its base is an increase in admissions standards and the TEXAS Scholars program.
"We're in a transition position, leaving a period when we were not known for a high-caliber academic reputation and entering a period which we are," Frankenberger said.
"We have quality academic programs that have been developed so quickly here that they are sometimes overlooked. Academically talented students who used to be looking past the Valley or out of the Valley for quality education are now recognizing UTPA."
Beginning in 1995, admissions requirements were changed so prospective UTPA freshmen without college preparatory coursework had to graduate in the top 50 percent of their class. Three years later, the requirement was increased to placing in the top quarter.
In 1993, 515 of the total 2,085 entering freshmen at UTPA, or 25 percent, completed college preparation courses in high school, University statistics show. That percentage has steadily risen, with 75 percent (1,307 of 1,746) of entering freshmen last fall having taken college preparation courses.
Complementing college preparation courses is the Texas Scholars program, a collection of incentives and strategies aimed at motivating students to obtain the state recommended high school degree. Twenty-four of the Rio Grande Valley's 28 school districts now have the program in place, with positive results.
For 1994-95, 42 percent of students in a seven-county region that includes Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr and Willacy counties graduated with an advanced seal, slightly above the 41 percent state average. Four years later, 53 percent of the region's students obtained an advanced seal, while the state average rose to 44 percent.
Advanced Placement, which enables students to earn college credit for courses taken in high school, is the next pyramid level, Frankenberger said. Credit is awarded based on scores achieved on standardized final examinations.
Currently, UTPA is second only to UT Austin in the UT System for receiving AP scores from prospective students and awarding AP credit to entering freshmen. As of February, UTPA ranked seventh in Texas in top AP scores, Frankenberger said.
For the Rincons, Carmen fulfilled her six-hour language requirement by passing the Spanish AP test, and she received another five hours from concurrent enrollment. Hugo received 15 hours of credit through Advanced Placement and college preparatory work.
"This has really helped me, especially the concurrent enrollment," Carmen said. "You get the experience of what college is like so you can be better prepared. You also can get ahead in your hours toward graduation."
For more information about Advanced Placement, concurrent enrollment and/or the University Scholars program, contact the UTPA Office of Enrollment and Student Services at 956/381-2100.

Former Beverly Hills, 90210 star Tori Spelling has split from her husband, actor-writer Charlie Shanian, her rep tells PEOPLE.
"Tori Spelling and Charlie Shanian have separated after one year of marriage," Spelling's publicist says in a statement. "The couple have been living apart since the beginning of August. This is the first marriage for both."
The couple married July 3, 2004, in an extravagant wedding hosted by Tori's father, television mogul Aaron Spelling, at his 56,000-sq.-ft. Los Angeles mansion, with an estimated cost of $1 million.
The black-tie, 350-person guest list featured a mix of Spelling's former 90210 costars and longtime friends of the Spelling family, including Ed McMahon, Jackie Collins, Bob Newhart and Don Rickles.
Spelling, 32, and Shanian, 36, met in 2002 when the two costarred onstage in Maybe Baby, It's You, a play which Shanian cowrote.

Santa Clarita Valley businesses, its hospital, law enforcement and homes were among 1,000 customers who lost land-line phone service for about two hours Friday morning after an AT&T power board in Newhall failed, officials said.
The power board at the phone company's Newhall central office lost power about 10:30 a.m. and knocked out service for a number of customers throughout Santa Clarita, said Dana Cop, the director of external affairs for AT&T.
Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital, the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station, Santa Clarita City Hall, Westfield Valencia Town Center and Princess Cruises were all affected by the loss in phone service, Cop said.
Cell phone service was not affected.
It took little more than two hours to figure out exactly what happened, fix the problem and restore phone service, she said.
By about 12:30 p.m., everything was back to normal.
"We had a power board blow, for lack of a better term," Cop said. "It's not like flipping a switch. You can't power everyone up at the same time. It's a phased-in reboot."
While phone service was down, calls to the local Sheriff's Station were routed to the Crescenta Valley Sheriff's Station, said Sgt. Darren Harris.
Meanwhile, clinical staff at Newhall Memorial had access to cell phones in case of emergency, said Laura Young, a hospital spokeswoman.
Cop said nothing quite like what occurred Friday morning has happened in the last 16 years while she has worked for AT&T.
"I've never had experience with an outage; this is a very rare occurrence," Cop said. "It was a collaborative effort to make sure we restored service as quickly as possible."

DOVER, Del. (AP) - There was "The Intimidator" and then came Junior. All Jeffrey Earnhardt needs now is a catchy nickname - and his first start.
The family legacy carries on Saturday when the 19-year-old Earnhardt attempts to qualify for the Nationwide Series race at Dover International Speedway.
The grandson of Dale Earnhardt, the nephew of Dale Earnhardt Jr., and son of Kerry, Jeffrey Earnhardt will run a partial schedule this year in NASCAR's second-tier series. He'll drive the No. 31 Chevrolet for Rick Ware Racing.
"I've been working on this race car with my dad for about a month, and it has really helped me understand how the car handles," Earnhardt said. "My dad believes you have to know how to build them to be able to drive them and he's been teaching me that."
The fourth-generation Earnhardt - he's a great-grandson of Ralph Earnhardt - is trying to hitch a full-time ride for 2010. The team is a joint effort between Rick Ware Racing and Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Rick Ware Racing is providing on-track team support, management and sponsorship.
Earnhardt will run a progressive schedule from short to intermediate tracks, up to seven races to maintain his rookie status in preparation to race full-time next year.
He already has something in common with his more famous Cup relative. Just like Junior has become the most popular driver in NASCAR, Jeffrey Earnhardt was voted most popular in 2007 in the NASCAR Busch East Series.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. said Friday he was rooting for his nephew.
"He looks like he's got a good, solid outlook on his situation and his opportunity," he said. "Hopefully he can learn a lot this weekend and have a good experience and take care of his car on Saturday."

A Sneak Peak into the James Royal Palm in Miami Beach
Featured as one of Forbes Magazine's "top 10 most anticipated openings of 2012," the James Royal Palm is certainly making a splash in the Miami Beach hotel arena. This luxurious beachfront property is situated in the heart of South Beach, Florida and is immersed in a new and vibrant scene. Aside from a new and swanky luxury hotel popping up in South Beach, we're especially exited for the hotel's pools (yes, that's plural), its beautiful interior design, and its full service spa with salt-infused treatments. The interior of the James Royal Palm was created by Rottet Studio, and here's what Lauren Rottet had to say about her inspiration in Boutique Design magazine: "After eating in some Cuban cafes and talking with local artists, I started thinking about Jean-Michel Basquiat (the late graffiti/neo-expressionist artist) meeting Virginia Woolf at the James and staying up long into the night talking about art and poetry." Not quite what we would imagine to be the driver of inspiration, but we certainly love the outcome and encourage you to make your reservations come this October to be among the first to experience the James Royal Palm!

African Voices in the New International Relations Theory
South Africa
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
We invite paper proposals for the conference "African Voices in the New International Relations Theory", which will take place from 27-28 May 2013 at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa Half-page abstracts are to reach us by 3rd March 2013.
In recent contributions to what they call "non-Western IR theory", Amitav Acharya and Barry Buzan argue that the main current theories of IR, especially realism, liberalism and to a lesser extent constructivism are too deeply rooted in, and beholden to, the history, intellectual tradition, and agency claims of the West to accord little more than a marginal place to those of the non-Western world. This creates a "disjuncture", whereby these supposedly universal theories fail to capture and explain the key trends and puzzles of international relations in the non-Western world. In response, they call for the development of a new paradigm of international relations theory that is more global, open, inclusive, and able to capture the voice and experiences of both Western and non-Western worlds and avoid the present disjunctures between theoretical tools and the ground realities of the world beyond the West.
The reasons for the underdevelopment of IRT outside of the West are many, including cultural, political, institutional factors. These include the perception that Western IRTs might have already discovered the right path to knowledge, the "hegemonic" status of Western IRTs whereby the key institutions, journals and conferences are either located in or controlled by the West, the possibility that indigenous IR theories may exist but remain hidden from public view due to language and other barriers, and finally that local conditions such as lack of institutional resources, and the attractiveness of better paying policy-oriented expertise might detract IR scholars to the neglect of theory.
In this conference and book project, we set out to investigate what are the reasons for Africa's marginalization in IR discipline and theory, and how this issue can be addressed. One cannot remedy this problem simply by using the Africa as a testing ground to revalidate Western-derived IRTs after a few adjustments and extensions. To have relevance for Africa, the new IRT needs to be more authentically grounded in African history, rather than Western history, and the ideas, institutions, intellectual perspectives and practices of African states and societies. To this end, our approach identifies the following as the sources of an African contribution to IRT: history and culture, thoughts of revolutionary leaders, practices of statecraft, writings of contemporary IR scholars, and distinctive local and regional interaction patterns. In calling for an African contribution to IR theory, we recognize the limitations of theory-building that relies exclusively on the unique historical and cultural matrix and behaviour patterns of Africa, its sub regions and nations. Relatedly, we believe that the new IRT must develop concepts and approaches from African contexts that are valid locally, but have applicability to the wider world. Such an IRT cannot, and need not, supplant Western IRT but should aim to enrich Western IRT with the voices and experiences of Africa, including its claims to agency in global and regional order.
In this conference, we seek to address the following questions:
1. What are the reasons for Africa's marginalization in IR theory? Is it the hegemonic status of Western IRT and the related acceptance by African scholars that that Western IRT has found right answers to the major issues of IR? Does it have to do with local conditions, including institutional factors (paucity of good universities, think-tanks and other training centers), the incentive structure (attraction to policy works that pays better at the expense of scholar theoretical work) and political conditions (lack of democracy)?
2. Are there African contributions that are "hidden"?
3. What are the sources of an African contribution to IR theory in terms of history and culture, gender, thoughts of revolutionary leaders, practices of statecraft and regional cooperation, writings of contemporary IR scholars.
4. How to reconcile the local and the global, inside and the outside, in projecting an African contribution to IR theory?
5. Can or should there be an "African school" of IRT? What are benefits and dangers of such an approach?
6. What has been Africa's contribution to the practice of international relations?
Most participants are envisaged to be from the African continent, representing most of its sub-regions. Invites from abroad include: Amitav Acharya (American University-Washington) and Andrew Hurrell (Oxford)
DEADLINE FOR PAPER PROPOSALS OR ABSTRACTS: 13th FEBRUARY 2013 Participants will be selected on the basis of their abstracts after 13th February.
N.B. The conference fee is R 2 000 (up to 14 March) and R 2700 (after 14 March) (Further details on arrangements to follow).

Brazil RECOMMENDATIONS See all
UNESCO World Heritage Committee Recognizes São Francisco Square
By Paige, Nicaragua, June 2011
São Cristóvão, Brazil's fourth oldest cidade, makes a pleasant base for exploring tiny Sergipe State. Though there are several simple hotels, luxury lovers will enjoy more choices 25 kilometers (15 miles) away, in the new state capital, Aracaju (founded in 1855), known for its festivals, handicrafts market, and beautiful beaches. Other area attractions will tempt wildlife lovers off the beaten track, such as Areia Branca's Falcon Sanctuary, and Tamar Biological Reserve in Pirambu, which protects sea turtles.
Sergipe's original capital, unsurprisingly, was pretty São Cristóvão, originally founded in 1591 on the Sergipe River, and moved to its present location in 1599. It is Brazil's only major city founded during the brief union of the Portuguese and Spanish crowns, and remains a flawless example of Portuguese civil engineering. As such it is wonderfully walkable, and exploring its many historic buildings and excellent museums is São Cristóvão's consummate attraction. In 1967, the Brazilian government declared the entire city a National Monument, and nominated it as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2009.
The 34th Congress of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization met in Brasília, Brazil, last year to select new World Heritage Sites, choosing São Cristóvão's Praça São Francisco (San Francisco Square) as one of three new Cultural Sites so honored. Upon hearing the news, it seemed the entire city of São Cristóvão came out to celebrate.
Brazil is now home to 18 world heritage sites, which will be promoted as a tourist route during the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics, both to be held in Rio de Janeiro.
Visiting all of them, from the fantastic waterfalls of Iguaçu National Park on the southern border, to the Central Amazon Conservation Complex, deep in the northwestern rainforests, would be a challenging proposition, as they are scattered throughout the enormous country. Attendees may not need to miss an event to see at least one UNESCO World Heritage Site, however.
In March 2011, Brazil officially nominated Rioas the nation's 19th such site. Considering its recent election to the Seven New Wonders of the World, it seems likely that yet another honor will be bestowed on that remarkable city.

His playing time with the Boston Red Sox having all but vanished, Mike Lowell's name has been linked to the Chicago White Sox.
ESPN Boston has reported that Lowell has drawn the interest of the White Sox, who lost third baseman Mark Teahan for at least a month with a fractured finger.
Another rumor involved the Los Angeles Angels, where first baseman Kendry Morales broke an ankle while celebrating a walk-off home run.
Morales' return this season is uncertain, but the Angels are believed not to be interested in Lowell, who began playing first base for the first time this season.
The White Sox rumor appears to have more legs.
"You're never going to talk about rumors," Chicago catcher A.J. Pierzynski said on "The Afternoon Saloon," on ESPN 1000.
"Mike Lowell is a great player. Do we have what it takes to get him? I don't know, that's not my call."
With Teahen out, Ozzie Guillen said the White Sox would use Jayson Nix and Omar Vizquel at third base. The Chicago manager sounded satisfied with this arrangement, but that does not mean a move would be ruled out.
Lowell has played 25 games this season. He is hitting .239 with one home run and 10 RBIs in 67 at-bats.
For a time, he was platooning with David Ortiz at DH. But Ortiz was the American League player of the month in May, and has resumed his everyday role, leaving Lowell with no place to play.
Lowell is in the final year of a contract that will pay him $12 million this season.
He missed much of spring training with a thumb injury. The Red Sox nearly traded him to Texas in the offseason, but the deal was squashed when it was discovered Lowell would need thumb surgery.
He believes he is capable of playing every day.. Two weeks ago, Lowell said he had considered asking the Red Sox for his release, rather than take up a roster spot on a team with no place to use him.
