Developing and Implementing an Export Management & Compliance System
Understand the numerous and complex U.S. export laws and regulations. It will offer practical guidance and advice on how to develop, implement, and manage an effective Export Management & Compliance Program (EMCP).
Product ID: 701889
Why Should You Attend:
In the post-9/11 world, the export control challenge is to enable legitimate global trade in U.S. goods and technology, while keeping these items out of the hands of weapons proliferators and terrorists. Companies dealing in international sales and/or transfers of controlled technology and sensitive information must avoid export control violations at all costs. In February 2010, the Bureau of Industry & Security (BIS) published revised guidelines on the design and development of an EMCP. An EMCP is an organized, integrated system that can be established to manage export-related decisions and transactions to ensure compliance with the EAR, ITAR, and their license conditions. The BIS considers an EMCP a mitigating factor, with great weight, in determining administrative penalties in case of an export violation.
If your organization is new to exporting, this webinar will provide valuable information on developing an EMCP and will provide recommendations on what you might want to include in your EMCP. This webinar can also help companies assess their compliance efforts and enhance their program.

Aug 22, 2012
The City of Houston has officially placed a bid for the new Champions Bowl, according to an official announcement on Tuesday. The game would feature the champions of the Southeastern Conference and the Big 12, assuming neither is involved in college football's new playoff system, and would start play in January 2015.
Houston joins four other cities — Arlington, San Antonio, New Orleans and Atlanta — bidding for the right to host the game.
The winning bid will receive the right to host the game for 12 years, and they will also hold a semi-final playoff game four times over that same stretch.
While none of the current bidders have disclosed their bid amount, Houston feels like they have just as good a chance as anyone, according to executive director of the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas, Heather Houston,
"We're really honored and very proud of the bid that we've put forth," Houston said. "We feel like it'll stack up against any other market…We felt like we have just as strong a chance as anyone else," Houston said. "The only thing we don't have going for us is the history, but we have a lot of other things that make up for that." (via Houston Chronicle)
One of what should be one of the most lucrative games of the entire college football season, the Champions Bowl should pocket both the SEC and the Big 12 roughly $80 million per year in television revenue from ESPN. Just as important, the Champions Bowl sets itself apart because the conferences, as opposed to a bowl foundation, will control the corporate naming rights surrounding the game.
Although an official timetable has not been announced, both conferences are expected to pick a winning bid sometime within the next month.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Officials paved the way for expanded beer production at Mitten Brewing Co., a popular neighborhood brewpub built in a historic West Side Grand Rapids firehouse.
On Thursday, March 13, planning commissioners unanimously approved owners Max Trierweiler and Chris Andrus' special land use request for a new production facility at 540 Leonard Street NW, across the street from the brewpub.
The expansion will allow the brewery to increase beer production for its baseball-themed taproom and pizzeria and add keg distribution to bars and restaurants around te city and Michigan.
"We've pretty much maxed-out the fermentation capabilities here," said Trierweiler.
Rob "Wob" Wanhatalo and Jason Warnes currently brew on a three-barrel system in the back of Mitten's brewpub at 527 Leonard Street NW. In July, they will move across the street and begin working on a 20-barrel JV Northwest system in the new 10,000-square-foot brewhouse, said Trierweiler.
Moving staple beers like Country Strong IPA and Triple Crown Brown onto the new system will allow for increased experimentation on the existing system, he said.
Mitten is leasing the space from building owner Rick Chapin, pastor of the nondenominational Eagle's Nest Church, which will share the industrial building with the brewing facility.
Andrus and Trierweiler are already working on a project to expand seating outdoors and to the second floor at the brewpub, which opened in Oct. 2012. The twin expansions are costing about $550,000, Trierweiler said.
The partners weren't actively looking for a new production space, but Trierweiler said they decided to pursue the expansion when the opportunity arose in the fall.
The new approval allows for brewing around the clock at the new facility, for which the partners are also seeking an industrial facilities tax break that's pending city sign-off.
Trierweiler expects production output to increase from about 500 barrels annually to 1,500 barrels in the 12 months after the new equipment comes online.
Bottling or canning is in the two-year business plan, but the new brewhouse will concentrate on kegs to begin with, Trierweiler said.
Mitten will distribute through Alliance Beverage in Grand Rapids when the time comes, Trierweiler said. Their beer is not currently on tap outside the brewpub, but Irish on Ionia party attendees will be able try their Irish stout called Kitten Mittens, brewed with HopCat, at the annual St. Patrick's Day party on Saturday.

After Her Flying Hero Husband Dies in a Crash, Maureen O'Hara Fights to Keep His Dream Aloft
That dream is Antilles Air Boats (AAB), which Blair built up from a single aircraft to a 20-plane commercial fleet ranging the Caribbean. Though little known beyond the islands, AAB carries more than 250,000 passengers and grosses some $5 million a year. It is the largest seaplane airline in the world. Mrs. Blair was executive vice-president before her husband's death. Now she is acting president, based on St. Croix.
Maureen was never a pilot herself. "That was Charlie's job," she says—and his record as a flier was unparalleled. Among his many pioneering achievements was the first solo flight in a single-engine plane across the North Pole in 1951, for which he won the coveted Harmon International Trophy. (His converted P-51 is now on display at the Smithsonian.) Maureen had shared his love of flying since their marriage (a third for both) more than 10 years ago. In 1974 she flew with him in a World War II-vintage Sandringham from Australia to the U.S. to demonstrate that, as she puts it, "water can be the airport of the future."
"They really had a loving marriage," says a friend in Christiansted, St. Croix, and her old Hollywood friends agree. Many have sent condolences and expressions of support for the job she faces in Charlie's absence. Former co-star John (The Quiet Man) Wayne, for one, isn't worried. "She has stamina and grit," he says, "and she knows the business."
Though the new responsibilities may seem overwhelming at times, Maureen is not at all anxious to return to life as a movie star. "I don't miss it," she says, and adds a dim view of the new Hollywood. "If some of today's pimply-faced, mumbling boys ever had to put on the costumes and do the kinds of parts Ty Power did, they'd stumble over their swords!" One of her last films was How Do I Love Thee? in 1971 with Jackie Gleason. "It was pretty damn lousy," she admits. (Nor is there much Hollywood vanity left; she laughs at the thought of a facelift. "I recently saw a woman I knew on an airplane with a lift that made her face look like a polished apple. I was embarrassed because she caught me staring at her while I was making up my mind if it was the same person.")
Now "55—and let it go at that," Maureen concentrates on raising funds for AAB expansion, which will include construction of the island's biggest hangar. It will be named in memory of Charles F. Blair. "Charlie and I were a team," she says. "All of a sudden the guiding light is gone. It's a tough road. I just hope the Lord is on my side."

How was it for you? How to improve our theatre festivals
More celebrities! Comfier seats! Waiter service and free drinks!
The Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival is looking for feedback to try and improve its offering for next year. It has posted a survey over here that you can fill out in about five minutes. The form is anonymous and one person will get a free dinner for their thoughts, so get clicking.
The answers are of the tick-the-box variety, so we'd like to broaden the scope here. Let us know below what you would like to see improved and what positive elements you would like to see built on in both the Dublin Theatre Festival and the Absolut Fringe festival. Also, if there is anything about The Irish Times coverage, particularly on the Festival Hub, that you would like to see given a shot in the arm, do let us know.
To kick things off, after the jump are a few of my own thoughts on what worked and what could be improved from the past month or so spent at the theatrical coal face. (more…)

Dumb Games
Welcome to Dumb Games.com where you can play awesome javascript games. Then you can submit your scores and see if you're one of the highest ranking people.
Control the snake to grab randomly appearing food and avoid bumping into the walls. After growing to certain length the snake goes to next level, where it should not only avoid the walls, but also obstacles placed in the playing field.
In this game you have block contiously falling from the top of the screen and you have to live as long as possible trying to get rid of the blocks by forming rows.
The objective of this game is to be playing as long as possible. Every turn the computer adds 3 new balls to the playing field. You have to remove the balls by moving them into a line of 5 or more of the same color.
Control the snake and grab the falling food. Get the food before it falls onto a wall. If it does, it becomes part of the wall and makes the game harder.

The Goodyear Eagle radial tire is marked "LR6" (left rear tire) and has been signed by Petty in silver Sharpie (grading "10") along the bottom. Richard Petty is one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history, winning over 200 races and seven NASCAR championships over the course of his thirty-three-year career. 2) Richard Petty signed photo: 20 x 16-inch color photo pictures Petty posing with his famed "#43" race car and has been signed by him in black marker ("10") in the lower right corner.

A very short week of preparation began yesterday for the Jets as they prepare to face the Patriots.
Usually, that means a barb or two thrown at Bill Belichick and the Pats. But as Mike Vaccaro of the New York Post noticed, Rex Ryan hasn't said much about Belichick lately.
Vaccaro pointed out what Ryan said about Belichick last month, which is hardly trash talk: "When I look at him, I see him as the best coach in the league ... Maybe he struggles one day, something happens, he's sick, maybe I'll get him."
The players seem to be falling in line with Ryan. "I don't hate the Patriots. I respect the heck out of them. I just like us better," guard Matt Slauson said. Cornerback Antonio Cromartie didn't say a word on the subject.
As The Star-Ledger's Conor Orr wrote, it could be "Ryan's new message."
"We're just trying to punch our way out," Ryan said, via Orr. "... Right now we have so much work to do, all we can do is focus on ourselves. We know the challenge that's in front of us, but we're just trying to punch our way out."
He even tried not to compare the team to the 2009 Jets who came back from a tough start to make a playoff run. "Look, I think what we did in '09 was try to get better each day, whether it was on the practice field or whatever, and that was in all phases. I thought we got better as the season went on and I think that's clearly what we have to do now," Ryan said, according to Orr.
At least Ryan did say something about Pats tight end Rob Gronkowski missing the game as he recovers from a broken forearm.
"I never like to see anybody get hurt," Ryan said, via The Star-Ledger's Mike Vorkunov. I'm not sad he's missing our game."
Here's NJ.com's daily aggregation of Jets news from around the web:
• Newsday's Bob Glauber thought the Jets should trade Tim Tebow after the season to a team that would give him more playing time. Glauber said he spoke with Tebow about "how differently things have worked out from what he had expected after his trade last March, and how he'd love to be playing more" even though he wasn't complaining.
"For me, obviously, I'm a competitor, and I love to play," Tebow told Glauber. "It's why you play the game. You don't play it for any other reasons. But sometimes, you try to do the best in these situations and make the most of it, and that's what I'm trying to do."
• Vorkunov reported the Jets will raise money for victims of Hurricane Sandy at Thursday's game. The team will match fan donations up to $100,000 for the American Red Cross and honor first responders.
• CB Ellis Lankster will have to deal with covering Wes Welker, according to Newsday's Kimberley Martin, after doing the same against the Rams' Danny Amendola.
"Don't get me wrong now, you still can't sleep on Wes Welker," Lankster said regarding the receiver's size. "Wes Welker's still Wes Welker. Wes Welker also has Tom Brady throwing the ball, so that's another advantage right there. I ain't going to lie, it's going to be a good matchup.''

OKLAHOMA CITY — Scott Brooks always thought he would be back as the coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, even as his previous contract was surprisingly allowed to expire following the NBA finals.
There were rumors that he would be replaced by 11-time NBA champion Phil Jackson or Jeff Van Gundy — which general manager Sam Presti discarded as "rubbish" — but Brooks remained confident.
"I knew it would work out," Brooks said Tuesday at a news conference to formally announce the deal he signed a day earlier. "This is where I wanted to be. This is the best situation for me. I couldn't ask for a better place to coach, to live, and I'm excited about the opportunity ahead of me."
Brooks reportedly has a four-year deal worth more than $4 million annually, but the team isn't releasing the terms.

Anyway... about Adam's comments about Hertl...
The shot itself was crazy-good. I have no problem with that. He is right that if you do something that amazing when the score is that lopsided, and then celebrate like you scored the GWG with 3.2 left on the clock, people are going to get pissy.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't score fancy goals in lopsided games, but if you're a kid who comes in and does it, you're going to put more than a few people in the mindset of "That kid needs to be knocked down a peg or two". It doesn't matter if that's the right reaction or not; it's the one that is going to happen.
Hertl's a kid. He just did something that few people ever do. Of course he was excited. The question is whether this was the One Hot Game in his life or if it was a harbinger of things to come.
Is he going to be the Next Great One? I doubt it, but stranger things have happened in life. With all of the media attention he's getting now, he's going to need to keep a clear head so that he doesn't either get too big for his britches or get overwhelmed by it.
As far as celebrating goes, hockey players already celebrate- there are big, smelly group hugs and the Line-o-fistbumps. Sure a guy may get excited and jump in the air or crash the boards. There's nothing wrong with that. Just spare me from the NFL guys doing whatever it is that looks like drunken birds with lordosis trying to cross a busy highway.
For those reasons, I agree with Oates that McClellan did the right thing in reining him in after the 4th goal.
I do not recall anything special about his celebration. Given that he scored 4 goals in one game it was rather tame.
And Oates got OV on his team who likes to jump into the glass after his goals.

So there you are, driving down the street hoping nobody catches you rocking out to the latest song from Lady Ga Ga. Suddenly you realize you are being followed by a very official looking law man on a motorcycle that has flashing red and blue lights mounted on the front of it.
You pull over.
An intimidating authority figure approaches your window, aviator glasses and all. You struggle to find your papers while rolling down the window to greet the gestapo.
"Hello Officer" you say.
"Do you know why I pulled you over"?
Here you find yourself at a cross roads. You can either be honest, lie, or be a complete smart ass.
Well, if you choose to be a complete smart ass, I have thought of a few answers you can use to reply to this age old question. For the purpose of your entertainment, I shall share with you the top 20 things I have always wanted to say when asked this question…
1. Because I am white?
2. Because you saw me Facebooking and wanted me to add you as a friend?
3. Because you mistook me for that homicide suspect that you should be out looking for?
4. Because of the muffled cries for help emanating from my trunk?
5. You're paying me back for bullying you in 3rd grade?
6. You're thirsty and wanted one of my beers?
7. We are playing tag, and now I'm "it"?
8. You need me to give you positive affirmations by respecting your authority?
9. We are being taped for an episode of "COPS" and you need to appear gainfully employed?
10. Because you recognized me from that APB of the missing patient from the Institute for the Criminally Insane?
11. Because you just saw me leave Dunkin Donuts and feel like I need a lesson in the value of sharing?
12. Because you ran my plates and noticed my car came back to your mom's address?
13. Because the SWAT team wouldn't accept you, and now this is all you have left?
14. Because you are your dispatcher's bitch and she told you to?
15. Because you are afraid of losing your job to a speed camera?
16. You are in a competition with another cop to see who can pull over the hottest looking guys?
17. Because it's 100 degrees outside and you want me to share my A/C with you?
18. Because you lost your gun and need to borrow the one I have pointed at you right now?
19. Because you are returning the key of Cocaine that your buddy's confiscated from the last week?
20. Because you love Lady Ga Ga as much as I do and needed to catch the end of "Poker Face"?
Please take note: If you choose to use #18, ensure your last will and testament is prepared because the last thing you will see before the lights go out permanently is your own look of terror in the mirrored sunglasses that belong to the man who is about to put a .40 caliber hollow point slug in between your eyes with an extreme sense of urgency.
Happy Motoring!!!

Speaker: Nancy Rosoff, PhD
Associate Dean for Administration and Academic Program Development
Rutgers University-Camden
Title: "I can't think of anything more useful than nursing': Nursing, Home, and Female Identity in British and American Career Novels, 1940-1960"
Abstract: This paper draws upon a larger project that I am working on with Dr. Stephanie Spencer of the Faculty of Education, Health, and Social Care at the University of Winchester. Our project seeks to identify transnational femininities in particular subgenres of fiction written for teenage girls in the fir4st half of the twentieth century. After a brief discussion of how we are developing our transnational methodology, I will then explain how the increasing significance of a degree of economic activity contributed to a construction of a female identity in search of equilibrium between home and work. This paper reflects upon two key aspects of the nursing novels: the decision to become a nurse and subsequent entry into nursing laid out in the early chapters of each novel, and a discussion of the inevitable romance that was, and is, essential in any fictional depiction of hospital life. In this paper I use the notion of equilibrium between work and home to explore how a transnational analysis demonstrates the way that the performance of ideal femininity served simultaneously to confirm women's significance within the rebuilding of the nation and to reveal how a universal womanhood, drawing on the apparently natural characteristics of duty, caring, nurturing, and obedience, could transcend national boundaries, moving toward an ideal of global gendered citizenship

Parental Leave Policies and Parents' Employment and Leave-Taking

NBER Working Paper No. w13697
Utilizing data from the June Current Population Survey (CPS) Fertility Supplement merged with data from other months of the CPS, we describe trends in parents' employment and leave-taking after birth of a newborn and analyze the extent to which these behaviors are associated with parental leave policies. The period we examine -- 1987 to 2004 -- is one in which such policies were expanded at both the state and federal level. We also provide the first comprehensive evidence as to how these expansions are correlated with employment and leave-taking for both mothers and fathers over this period. Our main finding is that leave expansions have increased the amount of time that new mothers and fathers spend on leave, with effects that are small in absolute terms but large relative to the baseline for men and much greater for college-educated women than for their counterparts with less schooling.

The problems I have with NookStudy (and Nook for PC) started in October https://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/thread/25091 and have never been rectified, never heard back from Alex about anything either.

If one has a cellular account with a data plan, the prices on the current tablets are hard to beat. In fact, I think the market for WiFi-only devices is going to shrink significantly in the next year or so, which will help close-out prices but not new device prices.
Speaking of future devices, the Windows tablets have to compete against this:
WinBook TW700 Tablet - Black 466326 - Micro Center ($70, including Windows 8.1)
I don't have one, but I've seen them in the flesh. Now, if you don't want a Windows tablet, it doesn't matter: this is the "new competition" for the entire tablet market. B&N was correct to get out of the hardware manufacturing business.
The Chinese electronics market is invading everything. Low-end handheld amateur radio transceivers from established USA firms (Japanese source) have been running about $200 (plus accessories) for the past decade. The Chinese have recently entered the market with this: Amazon.com : Baofeng UV5RA Ham Two Way Radio 136-174/400-480 MHz Dual-Band Transceiver (Black) : Frs Two Way Radios : Ca… for $30 (including accessories). That's less than the cost of a battery from the USA firms. No, I don't have one of these either, but I've also seen these in the flesh. They don't have all the features of the radios from USA firms, but they're solidly built (no cheap plastic) and apparently reliable.
The associated (free) software is, well, better tested that B&N's.

Alex is a nice guy but in many cases powerless. After all, do you think B&N would let any decision-maker actually talk to customers?

No, I don't expect B&N to actually communicate with its customers, which is why I fear for it's future and want to back up my 'purchases'. About the only bright spot if they fold would be the (hopefully) rebirth of the independent bookstores.

That leaves eBooks. So long as I can buy one eBook at a time and "liberate" each one, I don't mind staying with B&N; the ePub format is worth it.
Google sells epubs also, almost always for the same price as Amazon and often less than B&N. Their books use Adobe's ADEPT DRM, with all that it entails (easy liberation, easy transfer to readers, etc.), and they have rather nice web app.

MG writes "B&N discontinued support for Nook for PC and Nook for Mac sometime back, they just didn't remove the pages that have the downloads."
They neglected to do a bit more than get rid the download page - they don't say on that page, at least anywhere I can see it,"by the way, this software is no longer supported."
For those who like ebooks, epub format ebooks, and the Nook app on their platform of choice - you can futureproof Kindle titles pretty easily too, and once you've done so you can pick your own format.
It's not always perfect, but BNs titles weren't always perfectly laid out, either.

I agree with Keriflur. I too have lost all faith and respect for Barnes, especially after never receiving an email response to my pickup in store request. The only way they're getting my money is if I'm in the mood for coffee or actually have a physical copy of a book I really want on their shelves, which won't be too often from now on.
86. Re: DRM change?Mercury_Glitch Mar 26, 2015 9:27 AM (in response to roustabout)
I presumed the hiding of the pages was their way of discontinuing support. But who knows, I've long ago given up trying to figure what anyone above the store level it thinking.

There is a bit of a rub here - there's as yet no way to strip DRM from a KF8 file, so to convert you have to download a mobi version (which is what the kindle for pc app downloads - I assume the mac app is the same). Mobi lacks a lot of formatting support, so you're converting from a lesser version. I'm not saying it doesn't work, or that the files come out poorly (they don't in my experience), but you might be missing some pretty that you'd get if you just bought an epub version to begin with.
Since Google and Kobo are happy to sell you epub format (well, sometimes Kobo is happy to sell epubs) and Google generally sells at the same price as Amazon, there's very little reason to deal with the conversion, just buy the epub.
88. Re: DRM change?lkmiller Apr 11, 2015 3:34 PM (in response to keriflur)
The KF8 (.azw3) files can be downloaded with Kindle for PC and the DRM removed. Of course, not all kindle files are available in KF8. And I don't think there's any way to know beforehand if it will be KF8, mobi, or topaz. I still think the epubs are really a better format to begin with, but the KF8 files do convert to epub pretty well.
I prefer to buy from Kobo and Google myself. Kobo did have some books that were only available in their kepub format, but they have been working to make them all available in epub as well.
89. Re: DRM change?Mercury_Glitch Apr 11, 2015 9:12 PM (in response to lkmiller)
kepub is really just epub with some tweaks, so converting from kepub to epub should produce the same book. Keeping in mind you'll need to remove DRM. I've actually made the switch to kepub from epub since the firmware I loaded on my Kobo H2O (3.13.1) allows for sideloaded kepubs to have many of the benefits of kepubs downloaded directly from Kobo. I think it's just the reading tracking, so how fast you're reading the current book, and chapter, along with projected amounts of time for finishing the current chapter, the next chapter, and the book.
Kobo also just announced a Glo HD, a 6 inch eink reader with a DPI of 300, it compares very favorably with the Kindle Voyage, both of which are higher quality displays than the Nook Glowlight. It's not yet available for pre-order in the US (I think that happens on April 24th), but it's going for something like 103$ (converted from the price they have in Canadian dollars). Interestingly Kobo has removed the SD Card slot from this generation of the Glo, though the fact that Amazon's Voyage and the Nook Glowlight both lack one (at least as far as I can recall for the Voyage, it doesn't appear listed as a feature on Amazons page).


text: The Rapha Continental began in 2007, driven by the idea to discover, or perhaps rediscover, the lost art of cycling. Now in their fifth year, the main sensation that they – the 'non-team' of riders known as the Rapha Continental – have encountered, is wonderment. When the goal of a ride is about the experience instead of the speed or the distance, it changes everything. The "Rapha Continental" movie is an account of their travels through 2010, made by, and with, friends. Enjoy!

Show #3984
Kevin Spacey, Amber Heard, and Gary Clark Jr.
PLUS: Dave's First Joke About a President; new Good Balance Cigarettes; Winter Olympics Recap; Didn't See That Coming; Foggy Olympic Highlight; Presidents Day Choir; and a Top Ten List with the cast of "How I Met Your Mother"
" . . . and now, British ski-jumping legend . . . . . . . . David Letterman!"
-"Here's the deal . . . if you laugh at these jokes you get a medal."
-"Speed skaters are blaming their poor performance on their suits. Maybe I'll try that."
Today is Presidents Day. Dave has told a lot of jokes about Presidents over the years. Our research department did some digging and we uncovered what may be the very first joke about a President that Dave had ever told. We take a look.
We cut back LIVE to Dave. He is in scratchy black and white. We know the clip is from 1912 because it says so at the bottom of the screen.
DAVE: "President William Howard Taft is so fat, today he was in the West Wing and his ass was in the East Wing."
Rim shot.
The snow creates problems for a lot of people. We take a look at something Dave saw on television last night.
We see people trying their best to make it over snow-covered sidewalks.
ANNOUNCE: "It's difficult to walk in this weather, but it's especially difficult to walk and smoke a cigarette."
We see a guy trying to do both.
ANNOUNCE: "Introducing Good Balance cigarettes, the only cigarette with gyroscopic leveling sensors that shift the cigarette's weight to keep your center of gravity over your feet. Good Balance cigarettes: Your safety comes first."
Time now for Winter Olympics Recap – I was getting a new battery for my listening device at this moment.
We watch a montage of news anchors and reporters saying the word "Twizzle".
I understand that Twizzle is some kind of maneuver in figure skating. I'm not an urban linguist, but isn't "twizzle" something Snoop Dogg would say?
No homosexuals allowed in Russia? Well, then, how do you explain this? We see a photo of the two-man luge.
Time now for another installment of "Didn't See That Coming." I was just returning from getting my battery.
We cut to a news anchor reporting the following: "Charlie Sheen is now engaged to a porn star."
The Olympics are NBC's property. We're not allowed to use their footage or recordings of any Olympic event but Dave is always thinking, much to the surprise of many. He's come up with a way around this. You've heard of the fog that has descended on Sochi? Well, we have "Foggy Olympic Highlight.
We hear a Czech winning some event. We see . . . . nothing but a thick gray fog. It's probably how Costas has viewed the entire Olympics so far.
And everybody's favorite event . . . Curling. We take a look at something we're calling, "Nice Curling."
We see a female Canadian curler sliding her stone. And it's a terrific, match-winning shot. Oh, doctor! "Nice Curling!"
A staffer and I were up to do some curling for the show tonight. We were to sweep in front of Dave during his opening entrance. It didn't sell all that well during rehearsal so it was put away in the closet. We won't be seeing that. But before rehearsal, I googled "Curling Youtube" to get the proper use of the broom. I wanted my hands to be positioned just like a professional. And the clip I watched just happened to be the "Nice Curling" clip. How about that? I was hoping Dave would have approved the curling entrance because then I would have whispered a suggestion that we should do that for all the guests that night, and maybe even the whole week. Dang it, though, no curling. I should have spiced up the rehearsal with some shouts of "Hurry Harrrrrrrd! Hurry Harrrrrrd!" And then right in the middle of rehearsal I thought a better idea would be to get the U.S. Team to do the curling sweep for Dave, but I kept that idea quiet. Why should they get the air time and not me?
Dave found great enjoyment in this. We sat back on Friday night to enjoy the opening festivities of the Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia. Growing up, Dave and much of America were taught to fear the great and powerful and evil Soviet Union. We practiced air-raid drills and built bomb shelters and learned to live in holy terror. Since this occurred during a very impressionable period in Dave's life, some of that fear of Russia still exists. So when the opening ceremonies had a flub, a malfunction, Dave was thrilled. Five snowflakes were to grow into the Olympic rings, come together, then explode in exciting pyrotechnic fireworks. But one snowflake didn't do as ordered. It remained a snowflake and did not morph into an Olympic ring, resulting in no fireworks either. Dave sat up in his chair and let out a big, "HA! They can't even get that snowflake to turn into a ring!" It was very satisfying to Dave, and very comforting.
TOP TEN: SURPRISES IN THE FINAL EPISODE OF "HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER" – And presenting tonight's Top Ten List, 5 cast members of the hit CBS series:
Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders, Josh Radnor, Alyson Hannigan, and Neil Patrick Harris.
"How I Met Your Mother" is in its 9th and final season. Winner of 9 Emmy Awards, the series will conclude on March 31st. You can see it now till then Monday nights at 8:00 on CBS.
10. Finale? We've been cancelled?! (Jason Segel)
9. The real father: Frank Sinatra (Cobie Smulders)
8. Fairy tale wedding with the cast of "Blue Bloods" (Josh Radnor)
7. You know that bar we hang out in? We buy it and turn it into a Duane Reade (Alyson Hannigan)
6. Together, Velma, Ted, Daphne, Shaggy, and I crack the case of the "Arcade Arsonist" (Neil Patrick Harris)
5. It's on NBC (Jason Segel)
4. For some reason, we're all naked (Cobie Smulders)
3. Someone finally points out that I don't sound like Bob Saget (Josh Radnor)
2. To find out how Ted met the mother, send a self-addressed stamped envelope and 500 dollars (Alyson Hannigan)
1. Biggest surprise? We're going off the air and Letterman's still got a show (Neil Patrick Harris)
My submission to tonight's Top Ten List that didn't get on: "We finally learn which one is Carter and which one is Craig."
He's the star of the crazy popular hit Netflix program, "House of Cards." The entire 2nd season can now available on the NetFlix. Someday, this is how all television will be presented. Spacey must be making some incredibly big bucks in this venture. Kevin hints that the big money is in the renegotiation. Not so much from the first contract. How close to the truth of politics is "House of Cards"? Kevin says he's been told that 99% of the show is accurate, and the other 1% is you could never get an education bill passed that quickly.
Kevin has portrayed popular singer Bobby Darwin in film. Some say he would be the first choice to play Johnny Carson if the opportunity presented itself.
He goes a tremendous Carson, which he demonstrated tonight. For me, I see Jack Benny all over him. I want Spacey to do a Jack Benny movie.
Dave is chatting with Paul when they are interrupted by a quartet of Presidents Day Carolers. They are dressed as United States Presidents. They march across the stage and stop in front of Dave's desk, singing all the way. They stop long enough to be recognized by their moms at home. And then they march off, continue to sing. It's not one of Dave's favorite Presidents Day traditions. Plus, one of them stole Dave's desk microphone. Dave suspects it was Lincoln. Looks like it's time for Woodward and Bernstein to step out of retirement.
Tonight's inductee into the Backstage PhotoClub: Mike Ferrante. He does something with the band and music.
ANNOUNCE: "Hope to see you again tomorrow when Dave welcomes U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist Sage Kotsenburg, Kate Mara, and Cole Swindell. Whoever got the idea to sell potting soil is a genius. It's just bags of dirt, people!"
The gal's from Texas. Her dad broke horses for a living. In California they call that "training" horses. Was he a horse whisperer? Amber laughs and says he was more of a horse yeller. There was not much whispering coming from him. Sounds like "old school." Dave, a rodeo fan, says breaking horses was the genesis of the rodeo. Her dad had dreams of Amber being a famous rodeo star, but she had other ideas. At 16, she started going out and seeing the world in New York and Florida and Europe and California. At 17, she moved out altogether. She gave the news by saying something like, "You know I'm not staying here, right?" Mom and Dad objected. She was out the next day and moved to California. We see a photo of Amber and Dad all gussied-up. Dave says he looks like a guy who would be cast to play a guy like her dad, but he's the real deal. Amber says her dad comes to all her movie shoots and is her biggest fan. The makeup artists are always so impressed with his handlebar mustache because it looks so real. Amber has to explain to them that it looks real because it is real. Hollywood isn't used to real.
Amber Heard – she stars in the new Kevin Costner film, "3 Days To Kill." Kevin has 3 days to accomplish a mission or else he's dead. I get that a lot from my wife. Hey-Ohh!
"3 Days To Kill" – in theaters this Friday.
From his CD, "Blak & Blu," the Grammy Award-winning singer performed "You Saved Me."
And that was our show for Monday, February 17, 2014.
I know NBC has the Olympics and we can't show any events from Sochi, but what if I were in Sochi and recorded a game or a race on my iPhone-thing. Could CBS use that?
Outside of the USA/Russia hockey game last week, I've seen less than 10 minutes of the Winter Olympics. Don't know why it hasn't caught my fascination but it's not there. I did watch one figure skater from Italy perform brilliantly but I think I stayed tuned simply for the Ave Maria she was skating to. Other than that, a few minutes of cross-country skiing, the Jamaican bobsled team, and a mogul race. I think it was the moguls that turned me off. It was the first thing I came across. The competitor is doing the moguls and then near the bottom, does a big flip. This is when I learned that judges would be involved in deciding the winner. There are style-points to be included in the time. CLICK! Just give me a time or a height or a distance . . . I don't want "style-points" anywhere near my viewing. Then it's just turns into a Miss America pageant. No thank you.
Spent a wonderful week painting an apartment. Such fun! You spend 95% of your time painting 2% of the room. Taping and edging and prepping and covering. It's such a great feeling when it's finally Roller Time! And if you think it'll take all day, it'll take 3 days. I learned the hard way.
he reason it costs so much to have someone paint an apartment is because everyone hates to do it. That's the secret to succeeding in the service industry; find something people hate to do.
It's also tough to listen to stories of staffers on what they did over their break. Lots of sun and fun and relaxation . . . while I spent most of the week painting. I felt like Charlie Brown on Halloween.
Did you watch any of the NBA All-Star game Sunday night? The Washington Generals played better defense against the Harlem Globetrotters.
Last week there was a huge snowstorm here in NYC. Mayor De Blasio decided not to call off school. Many parents were angered at the Mayor for putting their children in such danger. But all I could think of was . . . . well, then, don't send them to school! Who is more in the wrong; the Mayor for not calling for a snow day, or the parents who sent their little darlings out in the dangerous conditions?

And now, from the files of The Donz, Late Night The Day They Were Born.
Amber Heard was born on April 22, 1986.
What happened on LATE NIGHT the day Amber Heard was born?
LATE NIGHT, April 22, 1986 (#697): Alba Ballard and her dressed-up parrots, a Stand-Up and chat with Jonathan Katz, and NY Post Assistant Managing Editor and Headline Writer Vincent Musetto, responsible for the headline "Headless Body Found in Topless Bar." Also: a call to Arnie Barnes, this week's Museum of Natural History display of the Rough Tail Stingray, a visit in the hallway with Gerard Mulligan and his new baby Kevin (portrayed by Chris Elliott), and People Who Won't Be on the Show.
And that's what happened on LATE NIGHT the day Amber Heard was born.

THE LIST Best of Muppets
1 'The Muppet Movie' (1979). After conquering TV, Jim Henson led the Muppets onto movie screens and handsomely succeeded with a charming road film that featured sturdy songs. Where can you see Bob Hope, Milton Berle, Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor, Orson Welles, Steve Martin and Madeline Kahn, Elliott Gould and Carol Kane in the same film?
2 'The Muppet Christmas Carol' (1991). The Muppets' take on the oft-told Charles Dickens tale is warm and moving. Helps, of course, having the great Michael Caine play Scrooge. This entry focused on telling the story, not packing in a zillion celebrity cameos. It was also the first Muppets project without Jim Henson, who died in 1990.
3 'The Muppets' (2011). Not hearing the voice of Frank Oz playing assorted characters is, at first, disconcerting. Yet, it's a small price to pay for having the Muppets back, and the film successfully conveyed their timeless charm and spirit.

New Version of Vyatta Community Edition
Version 3.0 of the network software by Vyatta has just been released. The Open Source software combines firewall, router and VPN software in a single product.
The latest 3.0 version supports IPSec VPNs between enterprise sites, using 3DES and AES encryption (128 and 256 bit key length) among others. Vyatta can also handle Multilink PPP and is thus capable of using multiple physical connections between two systems – modem and ISDN, for example – in order to increase bandwidth and data throughput for data transmissions. The developers have also optimized the Border Gateway Protocoll (BGP) to support faster routing. The new version is available from the Vyatta website here.

So, the last two days I've posted some pretty good Rangers/Islanders videos, but with puck drop just hours away, I decided to step up my game and post the creme de la creme Rangers/Islanders rivalry videos.
And while the Theo Fleury may have defined the rivalry in the early 2000s with his "Chicken Dance," nothing captures the hatred between the two franchises more than what happened at the end of Game 1 of the Patrick Division Semi-Finals back in 1990 when Isles coach Al Arbour put out his goon squad with just seconds remaining in the Rangers 2-1 victory to get revenge for James Patrick's hit on Pat LaFontaine that knocked him out of the series just minutes before.
Here's the video…
…as a young Rangers fans at that time, I was obviously not fond of the Islanders, but this incident began my utter hatred and disdain of the Fishsticks.
…looking back on it now, you've got to feel for Jeff Bloemberg, who was basically the sacrificial lamb after Neilson took all his top players off the ice once he knew what Arbour was up to.
…and for those of you who wanted to know how rowdy it was at the Garden back then, LaFontaine was delayed getting to the hospital after the game because Rangers fans mobbed his ambulance and tried to tip it over. These days the Garden crowd would probably act as escorts to make sure he got to the hospital as quick as possible.
And, of course, what would a Rangers/Islanders rivalry video montage be without this…
…Cloutier should be honored before every Rangers/Islanders game at MSG just because of that beating of Salo.
…and how about Langdon going at it with Chara?
…man I'd kill to see something like this tonight, but I won't hold my breath because those days are long gone.

HONOLULU (AP) - A Hawaii judge on Friday set a June retrial for a federal agent accused of murder in a late-night restaurant shooting in Waikiki in 2011.
Hawaii 1st Circuit Judge Karen Ahn set a June 16 date to begin jury selection in a new trial for Christopher Deedy, 29, of Arlington, Va. Ahn told lawyers Deedy's new trial will begin immediately after jurors are chosen.
Deedy is charged with second-degree murder for killing Kollin Elderts, 23, of Kailua during an early-morning altercation inside a McDonald's restaurant. Deedy doesn't dispute killing Elderts but contends it was in self-defense.
Jurors ended Deedy's first trial deadlocked, with eight jurors for acquittal and four jurors for conviction. Ahn declared a mistrial last month after polling jurors, who said more time wouldn't resolve the split.
Deedy will have a new lead attorney at the retrial, Thomas Otake. Deedy's previous attorney, Brook Hart, is staying on as counsel but is reducing his role because of other clients and the expected birth of a grandchild in the spring.
"We do want to pay attention to our other clients," Hart said.
Otake requested an August trial to allow him time to get up to speed on the case. He also argued that more time would make it easier to schedule witnesses and find jurors in Honolulu given heavy news coverage of the case, including live Web streaming of the trial and consistent front-page headlines.
"Obviously, as time goes on, memories fade and perhaps there will be jurors where if it was set sooner may remember more about what they heard on the news," Otake said.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Janice Futa responded by arguing the retrial should happen as soon as possible to avoid faded memories among witnesses.
"Justice delayed is justice denied," Futa said. "This is a case where that would happen."
Ahn set a Feb. 3 deadline for pretrial motions, with a hearing to be scheduled in March.

A turtle showed up in my yard and started laying eggs
Posted 28 May 2011 - 06:22 AM
I have never had a pet turtle or really done anything remotely turtle related, but now I have a turtle laying eggs in my garden, and I am not sure what to do. I am not 100% sure where it came from, but there is a creek kind of near by, which seems like it would be its home. I am also not sure what type of turtle it is, but the picture is below:
I have a few questions:
1- if it is successful in laying eggs, how can I protect them until next year and ensure that they make it to safety?
2- are there any organizations I can call which would help? (like the ASPCA or something like that? would they help return it to it's proper home?)
3- how long will it take to dig its hole?
4- What dangers might there be to it in a normal suburban environment, and how can I protect my new turtle friend?
Posted 28 May 2011 - 09:19 AM
How long will they take to hatch? How should I protect them from things that want to eat them?
Posted 28 May 2011 - 09:39 AM
Posted 28 May 2011 - 11:34 AM
To protect them you can fashion a wire mesh covering that will cover the entire nest area and a bit beyond and anchor it into the ground. However, that still may not stop a hungry raccoon, skunk, fox or possum who will dig up anything to get a nest...if you have an electric fence that will help deter predators but probably the safest thing you can do to ensure their survival is to have someone experienced carefully dig them up and incubate them.
I have experience with snappers but not with incubation, etc. Those with some experience should chime in and give you some more advice.
By the way that is a great photo!

I put wire mesh over it, and secured it into the ground. It is pretty strong wire, but I didn't want to mess with nature too much so I didn't remove them or put an electric fence.
How will the baby turtles be able to get out though? Should I just remove the mesh after like 60 days, once it is close to hatching time?

I have used wire mesh/very small hole wire/screen covers as suggested in box turtle pens over nests to prevent other female turtles from attempting to dig a nest over an already laid nest and destroying the eggs in the ground.

Wow that is an amazing picture. It's really cool that your getting to experience this.
yes I agree on both counts.. especially NICE photo!
did you have to resize that photo in photobucket? (by pixel or inch?)
Ive been uploading photos here the last few days but I have to make them so small and reduce the quality so much to make the work it really kills the details of the images..

LANSING -- Word that Rick Snyder is expected to name state Rep. Brian Calley as his running mate during a trip to Grand Rapids Wednesday is a surprise according to one political analyst.
But Bill Ballenger, editor of Inside Michigan Politics, said Calley is "a quality choice." Calley's work in the House, as well as his pro-life stance, gives Snyder's ticket the legislative experience critics say it needs, Ballenger said.
Calley has been a state representative since 2007 and led the House Republican campaign effort in 2008. A former banker, he has been behind a so-far-unsuccessful effort to change the state Constitution to prohibit property taxes from rising when a home's value drops.
He also introduced a bill last year to exempt baby-sitting from the state's day care regulations after the Michigan Department of Human Services ordered a Barry County woman to stop watching her friend's three children before they got on their school bus.
Gov. Jennifer Granholm signed the bill into law last November.
Calley's short record will also help Snyder's ticket, Ballenger said.
"The first thing you have to do in picking a running mate is do no harm. There's nothing to dislike about Brian Calley," he said. "He doesn't have a polarizing record. He's not going to hurt Snyder."
Calley won the GOP primary for the 33rd District Senate seat earlier this month, defeating Michael Trebesh of St. Johns. The district includes Ionia, Montcalm, Clinton and Isabella counties.
Ballenger said the move to name Calley is also unusual because of his win in the primary.
GOP officials would have to hold a special convention to name Calley's replacement. This has only happened once since World War II, when John Engler named Connie Binsfield as his running mate, Ballenger said. He expects former Reps. Scott Hummel or Judy Emmons to receive the nod for the Senate seat.

Labor Day Dessert: Blueberry-Apricot Pot PiesJulieVR
I have some beautiful Okanagan apricots I can't get enough of. Kathy inspired me with her cozy apricot pie, and I think apricots and blueberries are a perfect pairing. I love the idea of making individual deep-dish fruit pot pies – made in single serving ramekins, there's no need for a bottom crust, and so less pressure to make the top perfect. You can streamline the process and pick up a package of frozen puff pastry – unroll it and lay it over the fruit; cut vents and if you like, brush the tops with egg and sprinkle with sugar. They'll look adorably rustic, with purple juices oozing out wherever they can. This is the perfect labor day dessert – served warm, topped with a scoop of ice cream.
If you're having people over, assemble these ahead and refrigerate, unbaked, until you're ready for them. Slide them into the oven just before your guests are scheduled to arrive, so that they are welcomed by the aroma of pie baking. There is no better food foreplay.
Blueberry-Apricot Pot Pies
adapted from BC Blueberries
1 batch pie pastry or frozen puff pastry, thawed
1/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
3 cups fresh blueberries
4-5 fresh apricots, pitted and sliced
Preheat oven to 375°F; lightly butter four 3/4-cup (6-ounce) baking cups. Place pastry flat onto a floured board; invert a baking cup 1/2-inch from the edge of the pastry; with a small sharp knife, cut out a circle 1/2-inch larger than the cup; repeat to make 4 rounds; cut a small hole in the center of each. In a medium bowl, combine sugar and cornstarch; add blueberries and apricots; toss to coat; divide equally among the buttered cups.
With water, lightly moisten the rim of the each cup; place a pastry round on each cup; fold under the edge and crimp. Repeat. Cut a few slits in the top of each lid to allow steam to escape, and place the cups on a rimmed baking pan. Bake until the filling just begins to bubble, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm. If you like, bake them earlier and reheat in a 375°F oven until warm.

Dependency Status
Many students have questions about whether they are considered to be a dependent or independent student for financial aid purposes. This page is designed to answer some of those questions. In order to be considered independent for financial aid, a student must meet one the following requirements at the time of completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application. From the 2016-2017 FAFSA, Step Three (Student):
- Were you born before January 1, 1993?
- As of today, are you married? (Also answer "Yes" if you are separated but not divorced.)
- At the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year, will you be working on a master's or doctorate program (such as an MA, MBA, MD, JD, PhD, EdD, graduate certificate, etc.)?
- Are you currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces for purposes other than training?
- Are you a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces?
- Do you have children who will receive more than half of their support from you between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017?
- Do you have dependents (other than your children or spouse) who live with you and who receive more than half of their support from you, now and through June 30, 2017?
- At any time since you turned age 13, were both your parents deceased, were you in foster care or were you a dependent or ward of the court?
- Are you or were you an emancipated minor as determined by a court in your state of legal residence?
- Are you or were you in legal guardianship as determined by a court in your state of legal residence?
- At any time on or after July 1, 2015, did your high school or school district homeless liaison determine that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless?
- At any time on or after July 1, 2015, did the director of an emergency shelter or transitional housing program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development determine that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless?
- At any time on or after July 1, 2015, did the director of a runaway or homeless youth basic center or transitional living program determine that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless or were self-supporting and at risk of being homeless?
A student who does not meet any of the conditions above will be considered a dependent student and will need to provide parent(s) information as requested when completing the FAFSA.
Please note: Filing personal taxes as an independent does not qualify a student as an independent student for purposes of financial aid.
Dependency Appeals
Exceptions to the independent status requirements above are made on a case-by-case basis, and most require substantial documentation and/or extreme circumstances.
To appeal dependency status based on a special condition or circumstance, a student must contact the One Stop Student Services before completing the FAFSA. They will be required to complete a Dependency Appeal Form and will need to supply documentation from at least two third-party sources to support their dependency appeal. If a student was considered independent for aid purposes at a previous school, they do not automatically qualify for independent status at UMD.
Note: Refusal of a parent or stepparent to provide support is not considered an unusual circumstance for purposes of achieving independent status for financial; and being self-supporting, in and of itself, is not sufficient reason for a student to be granted independent status.
New Rules
As of the 2009-2010 school year, there are new rules for students whose parents will not sign or provide tax information for the FAFSA, as well as for those students who do not receive any support from their parents and are not considered independent. Students can now apply with only their own tax information. They will be eligible only for an unsubsidized loan for a dependent student of their grade level; they will be ineligible for grants, scholarships, Ford Federal Direct Subsidized, SELF, or PLUS loans. Student will not be able to change this information after it is submitted, so they must be cautious when choosing this option. Students who select this option will be required to provide some additional paperwork.
For questions on dependency status, please contact the One Stop Student Services. Call 800-232-1339 or email email@example.com.

Ignite Creativity
By Troy
from Murphy, NC
Best Uses
I purchased the The Genuine Motorized Erector Set as a Christmas gift for my grandson, in the hope that it will overshadow the current cultural trend of buy and play. I hope it will spark a creative spirit and build self confidence in his ability to conceive, design and construct. I have not seen the set, but if it is half the one I had as a boy, it will satisfy my expectations.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The product arrived quickly and was nicely packaged. It's a gift for our grandson, so we haven't got to see anything built yet, but my husband pronounced it very nice. He made sure it had all the kinds of parts he remembered from his childhood.

35 Percent Indians Use Tobacco Despite Ad Ban
By IANS - NEW DELHI
Published: 29th November 2013 10:59 PM
Last Updated: 29th November 2013 10:59 PM
Thirty-five percent of Indians still use tobacco despite growing awareness and ban on tobacco product advertisement, said a tobacco control policy report released Friday.
The report also highlighted the need for stronger tobacco control policies and a change in the current prices of tobacco products in India to create social environments that are supportive of quitting.
"Current regulations on tobacco advertising in India still allows for exemptions which created loopholes for tobacco industries to focus its marketing efforts in unregulated venues such as point of sale. There is thus an urgent need for Indian central and state governments to take strong measures to close loopholes and to act swiftly to reduce affordability of all tobacco products," said S. Pednekar, director (development and research), Healis Sekhsaria Institute for Public Health.
The Tobacco Control Policy Report is a collaborative effort of researchers at the Healis Sekhsaria Institute for Public Health and the University of Waterloo, Canada and based on the result of survey of adult tobacco users and non-users.
"Tobacco use accounts for nearly half of all cancers among males and a one-quarter of all cancers among females and is also a major cause of cardiovascular and respiratory disease. Educating the users about the health hazards of tobacco use and effective pictorial warnings on tobacco products can help people to quit and may also dissuade others from embracing this deadly habit," said Surendra S. Shastri of Tata Memorial Hospital.

While carats sold rose 30% from the 4779 carats in the corresponding quarter a year earlier, revenue fell 24% from $7,8m as the average price per carat fell to $944 from $1631.
Rockwell said the year-on-year decline in price was due to the sale of "high-profile" diamonds the previous year, which boosted the prices for that period.
"In the polished market, we saw some pricing pressure, mainly related to the global financial uncertainty," Rockwell CEO James Campbell said.
He said the pressure on diamond prices was being dampened by growth in demand from India and China. "In the US, especially in affluent market segments, retail sales are showing signs of recovering," Mr Campbell said.
The sale of 1005 carats from the pilot bulk X-ray project at Saxendrift boosted sales, he said.
"It is our plan to incorporate this technology into future mining developments. The results of the proof of concept give us confidence in the sales revenues that this technology could unlock," Mr Campbell said.
Prices for smaller polished diamonds saw the biggest drop, while prices for stones bigger than two carats, which represent more than 80% of Rockwell's output, have been constant. "It is our expectation that rough prices will remain stable for the remainder of the calendar year," he said.
Rockwell's Klipdam mine reported an increase of 20% in carats sold, as a result of mining the Rooikoppie unit.
Earlier this week Rockwell said its production for the first quarter of this year rose 74% to 6116 carats from last year.
