Jim Clark Rally organisers only abandoned the event following the second crash, which took place at Little Swinton, near Coldstream, around 4pm on Saturday.
John Provan, 64, Elizabeth Allan, 63, and 71-year-old John Leonard Stern - all from the Greater Glasgow area - died when the car left the road.
The three were pronounced dead at the scene, and their bodies were expected to be removed from the site later today.
Another man was in a critical condition in hospital after the accident.
Meanwhile, Colin Gracey, who said he saw the fatal crash, said he had safety concerns about the event.
The 46-year-old teacher has watched the race for the last 17 years at the same spot - on a hill above where the accident took place.
He told Sky News that in previous years, the tape was 30m from the road to keep spectators away from the speeding cars - but this time the tape was close to the road.
He also said there had previously been a steward's car at the end of the road, and whistles would go off if spectators encroached on to the road. But he claimed there was such car there and no whistles this time.
He described the accident as "horrendous", "dreadful" and "awful" and equated the rally car to a bowling ball at 100mph.
Mr Gracey said the rally car "came through at great speed and lost it on the bridge and veered right into the gap, into the field, hitting quite a few people, who stood where they shouldn't really have stood unfortunately".
"In previous rallies, the area beyond the bridge is very well marked off, taped off at least 30 metres into the field. For some reason this time the tape was just on the other side of the hedge, which made us have concerns."
The rally car was going over a hump at speed before it lost control, Sky sources understand.
The crash came two hours after another car left the road near Crosshall Farm, striking five people.
Three men were initially taken to Borders General Hospital, however one was later transferred to an intensive care unit in Edinburgh.
The remaining two spectators were treated for minor injuries.
Police say the two drivers involved in the crashes were unhurt.
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond expressed his condolences following the two accidents, calling them "desperately sad".
The Jim Clark Rally takes place over three days on closed roads in the Duns and Kelso areas.
The rally course is described on the event's website as having "a reputation for being fast with big jumps, ditches and hedges".
The event is named after Scottish Formula One driver Jim Clark, who was raised in the area. Clark died in a motor racing accident in Hockenheim, Germany, in 1968.
The organisers of the race expressed their "heartfelt condolences and sympathy" to the families and their friends affected by the tragic events.

A new documentary on the Gloriavale Christian Community on the West Coast follows the six-week courtship and marriage of one young couple, after leaders at the Lake Haupiri community opened the doors to a film crew.
Gloriavale - A World Apart will screen next week on TV2 at 9.30pm.

Pacific Screen Ltd producer-director Amanda Evans said she had a good relationship with the people of Gloriavale when they first met during their production of the 2009 series My God.

Their approach to make the documentary was met with some consternation as the Christian community had experienced negative treatment by some media over the years, but Ms Evan said her approach was open-minded and unbiased.
She found Paul Valor, the subject of this documentary, an "open hearted young man, full of fun and enthusiasm".
Publicity information on the documentary says young men marry within the community to a girl they have grown up with.
"It's the Gloriavale equivalent of an arranged marriage. Teenaged boys and girls are not encouraged to talk to each other until a wedding between them is arranged."
The documentary makers follow Paul and his courtship and marriage to Pearl Hope.
"As the second generation of his family born inside the community, Paul has no practical knowledge of how things work in the outside world, apart from what he's told by his grandparents and the leaders.
"The leaders of the community are 12 senior men who decide everything, from where Paul will live and work, right through to who he can and can't marry."

In marriage, Pearl will follow her husband's lead and do whatever he says. They will have as many children as they can possibly conceive, each one seen as a gift from God.
Paul Valor is the eldest of 11 children and Pearl the second youngest of 10.
He works in the community's meat meal factory, which dries offal for the pet food market in New Zealand and overseas, while she works each day on a roster doing the cooking, cleaning and laundry for the entire community of about 400.
"Viewers may well find aspects of life here hard to understand or accept," Ms Evans said.
"However, there's no denying the extraordinary things the community is able to achieve as they work together bound by their strong faith and a really strict set of rules. In 21st century New Zealand there's nothing quite like it."

July-September 2013 Research Highlights
July 26
Transferring Antimicrobial Resistance
Collaborators from NCTR, the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation, and China Agricultural University have characterized multiple antimicrobial genes located in the plasmids and integrons from Salmonella enterica, a well-known foodborne pathogen. Plasmids and their associated integrons are mobile genetic elements that can replicate independently from chromosomal DNA and can often be transferred from cell to cell, allowing for the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Integrons are genetic structures that can integrate within plasmids and transfer their genes into chromosomal DNA. This ability (characteristic) further optimizes the potential for gene transfer from one bacteria to the next. Based on the DNA sequence analysis of the plasmids in these studies, the antimicrobial resistance genes carried on the plasmids were consistent with the observed strain resistance; and in several instances, there were multiple genes associated with resistance to the same antimicrobial, thus indicating the complexity of resistance phenomenon. Likewise, one type of integron sequenced was unique, due to its large size and complexity, containing a surprisingly high number of resistance genes conferring resistance to the bacterium for at least six antimicrobials. The potential mobility and high number of resistance genes in integrons, and the plasmids where they often reside, can provide mechanisms for antimicrobial resistance to be transferred from resistant organisms to those that were not previously resistant, leading to an increased public-health concern. The results of these studies were recently published in PLoS One (7(12): e51160, doi:10.137/journal.pone.0051160) and Foodborne Pathogens and Diseases (doi: 10.1089/pd.2012.1455), and the DNA sequences from these studies have been deposited in the GenBank database to serve as a resource for other researchers.

Science Advisory Board Site Visit
On July 17-18, 2013, a subject-matter expert subcommittee of the NCTR Science Advisory Board (SAB) and their consultants conducted an in-depth review of the current research program and future plans of the Division of Microbiology. Representatives from each of FDA's Product Centers and the Office of Regulatory Affairs participated in the evaluation. The site-visit report will be presented at the full meeting of the NCTR SAB scheduled for December 10-11, 2013. The NCTR SAB advises the NCTR Director in establishing, implementing, and evaluating the Center's research program.
For additional information, please contact Margaret Miller, Ph.D., Associate Director for Regulatory Activities, or Carl E. Cerniglia, Ph.D., Director, Division of Microbiology, FDA/NCTR.
Goldenseal, A Dietary Supplement
NCTR scientists in collaboration with the Shanghai Institute for Food and Drug Control (China) have shown that goldenseal and one of its major alkaloid constituents, berberine, are potent inducers of DNA damage in in vitro human cell cultures In cells treated with goldenseal, the extent of DNA damage was correlated to the berberine content and was directly associated with the inhibition of topoisomerase II (an essential enzyme for DNA replication). Goldenseal is an herbal product used to remedy a wide variety of ailments including gastrointestinal disturbances, urinary tract disorders, and inflammation; and was shown to increase liver tumors in rodents in a National Toxicology Program two-year carcinogenicity study. Toxicology Letters (2013, 221: 64-72).

Sex Differences in Kidney Gene Expression
NCTR scientists have identified numerous genes that show sex-related expression differences in the kidneys, including a number of genes that code for urinary protein biomarkers (KIM-1, Clu, Tff3, and Lcn2) previously qualified by FDA for preclinical diagnostics of drug-induced kidney injury. This comprehensive in-life time-course study, which assessed the sex differences in global gene expression in the kidneys from untreated male and female rats, revealed a complex sexually dimorphic response. This response varied at multiple stages of development and may underlie sex-specific susceptibility to acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. The results of such studies could improve the use of current and future renal biomarkers and inform our assessments of kidney injury and disease. This study was supported by FDA's Office of Women's Health and is published in Biology of Sex Differences(2013, 4:14).

Estrogenic Activity Database (EADB) for Assessing Potential Endocrine Activity
NCTR scientists in collaboration with FDA's CDER and CFSAN, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Texas A&M University, and Chang'an University (China) have developed the publicly available Estrogenic Activity Database (EADB) of in vitro and in vivo estrogenic activity data for a diverse set of over 8,000 chemicals, including drugs, food additives, and environmental chemicals. The EADB enables the user to search and evaluate the estrogenic activity of chemicals of interest as well as create models to predict the estrogenic activity of chemicals for which that data is not available. Estrogenic chemicals can interfere with the body's normal estrogen signaling pathways and can have adverse effects. The development of the EADB and its applications are described in a recent publication in Toxicological Sciences.
Find out more about EADB and download the database.

Rapid, High-Sensitivity Detection of E. coli O157:H7
NCTR scientists have improved a rapid method (RAPID-B™) to identify E. coli O157:H7 with 92% accuracy and a detection sensitivity of one viable cell in 25 grams of raw spinach after a six-hour growth period. The improved method reduces background interference from naturally fluorescent food-matrix particles. This is done by utilizing a chemical photosensitizer (phloxine B) to photobleach the sample along with gradient centrifugation to separate target cells from matrix debris. The improved procedure outperformed the reference method—which includes RT-PCR, selective enrichment, and culture plating—in both accuracy and speed. RAPID-B™ is based on a rugged platform employing flow-cytometric principles that is readily field deployable. Food Microbiology (2013, 36: 416-425).

Nanotechnology Training at NCTR
The second annual nanotechnology "Hands-On" training course was held at the NCTR/ORA Nanotechnology Core Facility on August 12-15, 2013. The training consisted of participants from the six FDA Product Centers, ORA and NCTR and introduced them to the most commonly used methods for characterization of nanoparticle size with an emphasis on their strengths and limitations, and included "hands-on" operation of the analytical equipment. The course was sponsored by the FDA Nanotechnology Task Force to continue its charge to identify and recommend ways to enable agency investigators to evaluate possible adverse effects from FDA-regulated products that use nanomaterials. The NCTR/ORA Nanotechnology Core Facility fulfills part of this mission by supporting FDA research and regulatory needs through proper equipment and trained personnel, and by conducting training courses that enable FDA scientists to understand nanomaterial characterization and detection methods.

Advances in Preclinical Models to Evaluate Anesthesia-Related Toxicity
NCTR scientists have published a review article in Molecular Neurobiologythat presents the use of human embryonic neural stem cells to detect anesthetic-induced neurotoxicity and to develop potential neuroprotection strategies. The review discusses stem cell biology with respect to the nervous system and neural development, the involvement of neural cell types in developmental neurotoxicity associated with anesthetic exposure, and the potential for imaging endogenous neural stem cells in vivo. The goal is to use neural stem cell models in conjunction with biochemical, pathological, imaging, and pharmacokinetic assessments to develop improved approaches to extrapolate preclinical data to the human.

Food Safety—Tools to Discriminate S. Enteritidis
Scientists from NCTR, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Arkansas Department of Health found all 60 Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis isolates obtained in 2010 from poultry houses (28) and clinics (32) were positive for 12 of the 17 virulence genes found mostly in S. enterica. The techniques used to identify the virulence genes included pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) complemented with multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) and plasmid profiling. The similarities in virulence genotypes between poultry and clinical isolates indicate that the isolates from poultry are capable of causing human infection through contaminated shell eggs, which are the most common source for S. Enteritidis. The rate of salmonellosis in the United States has remained relatively steady over the past 10 years, and it has been difficult to discriminate causative strains using PFGE technology alone. These studies also demonstrate that PFGE supplemented with MLVA and plasmid profiling are important epidemiological tools to discriminate S. Enteritidis isolates during outbreaks.

Can microRNAs Function as Biomarkers of Human Disease?
NCTR scientists have authored a chapter titled "Cell-free microRNAs as Biomarkers in Human Diseases" in the book microRNAs in Toxicology and Medicine (John Wiley & Sons, Inc.). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, single-stranded, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and thus influence a wide variety of basic cellular functions. In this chapter, the authors provide the following:
- an overview of the release of miRNAs from cells
- the stability of extracellular miRNAs present in human body fluids such as blood, urine, and saliva
- the role of extracellular miRNAs in cell-to-cell communications
- technical challenges in the analysis of extracellular miRNAs
- miRNAs potential use as biomarkers of human disease and injury

2013 Global Summit on Regulatory Science (GSRS13)—Nanotechnology Focus
FDA/NCTR hosted GSRS13, the third annual Global Summit on Regulatory Science, wth a focus on Nanotechnology in Jefferson and Little Rock, Arkansas on September 10-11, 2013. The GSRS13 included roundtable discussions and speaker presentations, including FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg, that explored the applications and regulatory aspects of nanotechnology. The international conference provided an opportunity for scientists from government, industry, and academia from 10 countries to discuss innovative technologies and partnerships to enhance translation of basic science into regulatory applications within the global context.
For additional information, please contact William Slikker, Jr., Ph.D., Director, FDA/NCTR, or Paul C. Howard, Ph.D., Director, Office of Scientific Coordination, FDA/NCTR.
Global Coalition for Regulatory Science Research
FDA/NCTR hosted the First Meeting of the Global Coalition for Regulatory Science Research on September 10, 2013. The Coalition was established to foster the development of regulatory science through collaborative research and scientific exchange. After introductory remarks from FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg, Mary Lou Valdez (Associate Commissioner, International Programs) and Dr. William Slikker, Jr. (Director, NCTR), the Coalition participants engaged in roundtable discussions to elect a co-chair, develop operating procedures, determine the Coalition membership, and outline a strategic agenda for the development and sustainability of the Coalition.

Expert Group Report on Anesthetic Neurotoxicity
An NCTR scientist coauthored an article outlining the results of the British Journal of Anaesthesia Salzburg Seminar on Anaesthetic Neurotoxicity and Neuroplasticity; an expert workshop focused on the review of current anesthetic research from animal and human studies and the future direction of the field. The article highlighted recent NCTR studies using positron emission tomography (PET) to characterize the time course of anesthetic-induced injury, as well as behavioral studies that explore the long-term cognitive consequences (learning and memory) of the pediatric anesthetic ketamine. The consensus was that although clinical data is indecisive, preclinical data demonstrates the potential adverse effects of anesthetics on neural development and function. Thus, it is imperative to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of anesthetic-induced neurotoxicity to aid in the development of protective strategies. The report was published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia (2013, 111:143-151).
For additional information, please contact William Slikker, Jr., Ph.D., Director, FDA/NCTR.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2003
About the owner: As a college student of 19 I found myself on Oahu (I was from Philadelphia) visiting Hawaii for the first time during the Vietman war. At that moment I knew Hawaii was someday to be my home, Maybe it had to do with the ice storm I left back in Philly. When I got home, I applied with United Airlines and moved out to Chicago, then to L.A. I flew for United for 27 yrs. around the world. Nothing came close. Hawaii was to be my destiny ! I married a very interesting man from Tibet 15 yrs. later and eventually we found a place to call home in Hawaii. We both lived out of a suitcase doing international business together and traveling the world. Now we sell 'memories of a lifetime' and enjoy meeting people from all over the world
Why the Owner Chose Hawaiian Paradise Park, HI, USA:
Living and working in Hawaii is the best you can get ! Sharing our world with our guests brings us much satisfaction. We love our island and the people who make it great. There is nothing like Oceanfront property.. they are not making any more of it..except at Volcano National Park.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Outrageous ! The waves, the whales, the pool on the edge of the ocean, the fresh air you breathe in looking down on the crashing waves below. NOTHING LIKE IT !

Author has written 7 stories for Naruto.
July 3, 2007
Yes, I'm alive.
Okay, okay, close your mouths. I know it's been like, what? Three years? Shocking, I know.
Just to let everyone know, I chose not put my email and private messaging up. Why?
Cause I'm mean. Actually, no, I'm not mean...just...my own reasons. I guess if you guys really want me to enable my private messaging then I could do that.
Anyways, I guess I'm back...for awhile...I don't know if I'm going to be coming back here permanently. But for the loyal readers of the story, Life, I have updated one chapter. I've had it, and others that I have yet to post, for more than 2 and a half years. Wow, that makes me sound old. If you want me to start writing again, well, check out Life and tell me thru the reader reviews if you liked it and wish me to continue my other stories. I guess you could review the other stories I have up too, huh?
Enjoy your reading,
P.S. I have finally matured from my high school hyperness. I don't know if that's a good thing now or not. I guess if you want me to write more on Anko's Konoha Babysitting Service or Commercials from Konoha I could do that. But I'm more into the drama now. But, like I've been saying before, tell me what you think.

Happy Monday! Can you believe that there are only two weeks until Christmas Eve? I've been counting down the days for about 3 months and now it's almost here. I know I should be excited but actually, I'm kind of bummed. Before you know it, the festivities will be over. I can't be the only one like this. Despite being busy and spending a lot of time prepping while the Mr. was away, it was fairly uneventful in terms of Instagram photos.
Work. Work. Work.
Dinner date with old friends.
Sleepover with one of my best friends.
Other best friend got a puppy from the same rescue we used.
Babysat. Twice. Six little children.
Major haircut and color change.
Driving to the city in the dark all by myself.
Christmas shopping, crafting, and home-cooked meals.
Yep, that's about it.
Have a wonderful Monday! Oh and don't forget to check back later this week for:
- A new take on yarn wrapped trees
- A simple stocking stuffer
- A rustic pinecone decor piece

On a recent road trip through California, we had exhausted our resources to keep Zaynab entertained. Her sisters read books or worked on sewing projects. However, Baby Z just wriggled in her seat much of the time, completely uninterested in the toys I brought along to entertain her.
She napped a few hours and snacked every now and then. We also sang a few songs with her. At one point, someone opened their window and a huge gust of wind blew into the back seat. Zaynab giggled with delight. Hearing that precious little laugh and seeing that sweet smile was all we needed to turn it into a game. Soon we opened all the windows in the car. The car filled with wind and laughter!
Windy Games
Driving through California with all the windows rolled down, the car fills with wind and giggles.
Sheer delight from this unexpected fun windy game.
Blowing in the Wind
Zaynab's soft, delicate hair was no match to the gusts of wind that twirled and swirled her hair around.
Waiting Game
With all the windows rolled back up, Baby Z waits with anticipation for the next burst of wind. I think it's time Z gets her bangs trimmed!
Breezy Beauty
Trying to catch the wind that swirled all around her.
Smiling Eyes
Between the gusty wind and her giggles, it was hard to keep her eyes open.
What silly games and tricks do you have to entertain your baby?

Tikrit body 'does not resemble hostage'
Page Tools
Taken hostage ... An undated high school photograph of Shosei Koda, 24.
Photo: Reuters
The body of an Asian man found in the Iraqi city of Tikrit does not resemble a Japanese hostage threatened with beheading, forensic experts said today.
"The body is of someone with a large build, dark skin and a black moustache. He was wearing a white shirt and pants and he is between the age of 35 and 40,'' said Duraid al-Tikriti at Tikrit general hospital.
He added that the man had gunshot wounds in the head and body.
Japanese news agency Kyodo reported that the body of an Asian had been discovered in Tikrit, Saddam Hussein's hometown north of Baghdad, but was unable to say whether it was kidnapped Japanese 24-year-old Shosei Koda.
Tokyo has rejected demands by the al-Qaeda-linked insurgents holding Koda that Japan withdraw its 600 soldiers from Iraq by a 48-hour deadline of late yesterday.
"We are aware of a news report that a body believed to be an Asian was found but are still checking the information,'' foreign ministry spokesman Hatsuhisa Takashima said.
Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has insisted Japan's non-combat troops will stay in southern Iraq.
Koda has been criticised in the international media for ignoring Japanese government warnings against travelling to Iraq. It had been reported Koda travelled to Iraq by bus from Jordan despite the warnings.
Five other Japanese civilians have been taken hostage in Iraq to date and all have been released.
Reports said Koda did not seem well prepared for a trip to a country where more than 150 foreigners have been kidnapped this year, with about a third of them killed.
Meanwhile, Koda's mother went on television to plead for his release yesterday.
"I heard some saying that he helps the (Japanese) army, but I assure you that he has nothing to do with all this," Setsuko Koda said in a message she read on Al-Jazeera satellite news channel.
"He only wanted to see for himself what is happening in Iraq and do what he can to help the beleaguered Iraqis."
Koda, who left Japan in January for a yearlong trip starting in New Zealand, told people he met that he wanted to see Iraq.
Samer Smeidi, a receptionist of the Cliff Hotel in downtown Amman, said Koda told him he had only $US100 ($135) left in his pocket.

It is a pitty but some things just don't change: Celebrity Solstice Cruise Review by venturer20
Overall Member Rating
It is a pitty but some things just don't change
Destination: Australia & New Zealand
Embarkation: Sydney (Australia)
Picture it, you have arrived on board nice welcome lovely decore, deceide to wonder around and find all the must see and do places take the bragging shots and then sit down for the rewarding drink or two you wait and wait and wait, by this time the wife wants a bottle so you go in search of the ever present drink waiters and bar staff (annoyingly so on other lines) . When finally located you wait in line to be told that you will have to pay the full price to purchase the bottle as it only comes in a glass in the drink packages and you are not allowed to have it in the bottle on your package as he was not a restaurant..Enough of the rules just charge me for the bloody bottle and give me a beer as well- no you need your other card to get the two drinks at the same time . njust give me the wine keep the More wife happy as the saying goes. 15 mins later we are both sitting down with our friends having our drinks. we continue to have to go to the bar all afternoon as not one drink waiter came near us. We are told that there is no more beer and what they had was not cold . we changed bars and the same story. We will forgive them today as obversley they are not use to Aussie drinking styles and tastes. Wrong the same attitude prevailed all weekend and the only time drink waiters came near us was in the restaurants so drinking between meals was discouraged. The R in R.S.A was definately Restrictrive and not Responsible. and the fact that waiter interpretations of what was allowed and not allowed on each of the drink packages varied across the ship, this came about as the same drinks or beverages were not available at all outlets or had run out .
The staff were very indifferent and uncooperative on several occasions as there was no incentive for them as we had already paid for the drink packages and don't dare ask for a mixer or martini that was not on a menu as it was simply met with a "can't do not on menu" response not with a helpfull if I have the ingredients"" or whats in it" approach as on other lines.
The Diamond in the rough was the 3 staff at the Ensemble Lounge Bar that made the pre dinner drinks a memorable moment each night.
The rest of the ship experience was ok. I agree with other comments in the way of activities as this ship is a very big bus and not a activities ship. if you want to sit, read, unwind and relax between destination ports it may fit the bill but for me it is too sedate boring and closed in. and as to why they devote such a large unuseable area for grass is amazing roped off "grass is resting" only in america.

PROVIDENCE, R.I.– Rhode Island College will celebrate Earth Week from April 21-25 with events designed to promote environmental soundness and protection of the planet's resources.
"Events during Earth Week will demonstrate to the RIC community how fragile the Earth can be when we deplete its resources," said Jim Murphy, RIC sustainability coordinator. "We need to lower the demands we are putting on finite resources, which could become problematic for future generations."
RIC's Earth Week events are part of the college's continuing sustainability efforts, which include recycling promotion, green housekeeping practices, energy efficient lighting and much more.
"RIC's commitment to sustainability starts with President Nancy Carriuolo, who has made increasing the college's efforts in this area a theme of her administration," Murphy said.
E-Waste Collection: Containers from Goodwill Industries of Rhode Island containers will be available in the Student Union for disposing of electronic waste. Recycling e-waste, Murphy said, will prevent items including personal computers and laptops, audio and video equipment, electronics and small household appliances from ending up in the state's near-capacity landfill. Containers will be available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on April 21-25. Goodwill Industries will use the e-waste for its recycling and operations jobs training program. The organization also will provide a tonnage report for RIC, which the college will use in its waste-diversion program.
Green Team Award: The RIC Green Team will present its annual Green Team Award to an individual, group or program that has contributed to RIC's sustainability efforts in a significant way, on Wednesday, April 23, at 12:30 p.m. in the Faculty Center of Donovan Dining Center. RIC Green Team members submit nominations and vote on a winner. The award is given on an annual basis. The RIC Green Team is a committee of faculty, staff and students who work to coordinate and promote sustainability-related events on campus.
Drive Electric Rhode Island: Mark Renburke of Drive Electric Rhode Island will speak on the benefits of electric vehicles and level 1 charging stations in Rhode Island, including the status of related education, outreach, advocacy, infrastructure and policy in Rhode Island on Wednesday, April 23, from 12:45-2 p.m. in the Faculty Center of Donovan Dining Center. RIC installed an electric vehicle charging station on campus at the Keefe Transportation Center in June 2013. The station is part of a network of 50 such charging stations installed throughout the state under Gov. Lincoln Chafee's initiative to promote alternative forms of fuel usage to reduce gasoline spending and air pollutants.
Green Business Forum: RIC will host the spring 2014 Green Business Forum, "Combating the Effects of Stormwater Runoff," on Thursday, April 24, from 4-6 p.m. in the Forman Center, Room C. The forum, free and open to the public, focuses on the Narragansett Bay Commission Sewer Abatement Program's efforts to protect Narragansett Bay by diverting untreated stormwater runoff flows.
RIC's Green Business Forum series was initiated to provide conversations around the link between sustainability efforts and business best practices. The series is part of the college's commitment to launching green initiatives and to exploring sustainability options with on- and off-campus partners.
The spring 2014 forum welcomes Assistant Resident Engineer Todd Moline of Gilbane/Jacob Associates and Clayton Carlisle of the Louis Berger Group to speak on the project's goals and its current phase.
Meg Kerr, an environmental scientist and consultant, will address the importance of a healthy watershed system and the ways individuals and organizations can help absorb stormwater runoff.
Many communities and groups celebrate Earth Week as an extension of Earth Day, an event held annually on April 22 since 1970.

Deputies: Man says he was robbed and forced to drink rat poison
PITT COUNTY - Pitt County Sheriff's Office is investigating a man's claims that he was robbed and forced to drink rat poison.
PCSO's public information officer, Christy Wallace, confirms it happened around 10:20 Sunday night.
27-year-old Asiel Benitez told authorities through an interpreter he had just left Joe's Country Mart and was walking home near the 1600 block of Debsan Circle, outside of Greenville, when he was approached by two men.
Benitez told the hospital interpreter the two men requested money and asked to use his cell phone. When he refused, two more men approached and he said they forced him to drink what he believes was rat poison. The men, one allegedly armed with a three-inch knife reportedly made off with five dollars in cash and a cellphone, according to Wallace.
However, the story doesn't end there. The hospital called the Sheriff's office to investigate. When detectives arrived with their own interpreter, the alleged victim changed his story a bit.
"The alleged victim in this case gave a different scenario," Major Paula Dance said.
A woman living in the mobile home park said her neighborhood has seen its fair share of crime.
"You got more robberies around here. You got more people trying to break into store around here. Just different things are happening and a lot of it isn't getting reported," she said.
"Generally when people are robbing someone, it's a quick in and quick out. You don't find them sticking around long enough to make sure someone drinks some form of poison during the course of a robbery," Major Dance said.
While the sheriff's office may consider this a unique case, deputies will continue to follow leads as they come.
"Until we locate the victim and he comes forward ...We're pretty much at a standstill," she said.
You are asked to contact CrimeStoppers or the Pitt County Sheriff's Office if you can offer any more information.

The recent AIC Australasian Gaming and Casinos conference at the Gold Coast was one not to be missed.With the plethora of gambling conferences currently available - and most not at a cheap price - it's difficult to pre-determine which ones are worthwhile attending.I, for one, try to select conferences based on the networking opportunities and the ability to learn something new from relevant topics delivered by intelligent and informative speakers.This conference, in my opinion, was the best ever. The delegate list included the "who's who" from the gambling industry, from testing agencies, to regulators, operators, and CEO's of top Australian and international gaming organisations.In addition, the conference included specific topics relevant to the delegates - international gaming legislation and regulation updates, opportunities for online gambling internet gambling versus traditional gambling, and the latest technology including WAP and interactive TV.
Potential problems with gaming staff
"The most glaring omission in the Productivity Commission report was the oversight in addressing staff issues," said Jim Connolly from Betsafe."There are major staff sufferance problems for those working in the gaming industry that are often neglected," he said.Mr Connolly presented a contra response to the debrief by Gary Banks, the Chairman of the Commission's inquiry into Australia's Gambling Industries.For instance, self-exclusion programmes should be internal, and the industry itself should also take a pro-active stance toward staff training. This is a different stance from the Commission's report that suggested that it was the government's responsibility to develop appropriate preventative measures for those that personally believe that they have a gambling problem.

Mr Connolly agreed with the key strategy of harm minimization and the issue of capping the number of machines."Accessibility is definitely an issue, but it's a venue issue and not arbitrary.," he said."Where does the industry go from here? I suggest a partnership approach, along the lines of what we've achieved through our Betsafe clubs programme." Obviously, responsible gambling needs constant monitoring and improvements to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

Blue skies for National Standards
Over recent years, gaming machine manufacturers have complained about the need to submit the same equipment, games and systems to multiple jurisdictions for testing and approval against individual standards and specifications. The reason for this is added costs and time delays to introduce products in a very competitive environment.In addition, regulators have questioned the need to maintain either their own testing facilities and employ specialized staff, or their ability to demand exclusive access to independent testing agencies.Both of these issues are relevant to club managers, who want the latest technology quickly.
Mr Bill Lahey, Chief Executive of the Victorian Casino and Gaming Authority, delivered an update to AIC conference delegates regarding the response of regulators to the concerns of manufacturers and the regulator's own need to improve operational efficiency, through· Establishment of National Technical Standards· Implementation of a National Scheme for Accreditation of External testing Agencies.
The National Gaming Machine Standards Model
In Australia and New Zealand, thirteen statutory bodies regulate gaming machines, approved with their own technical standards. With the gradual adoption of common gaming technology and control systems, the differences became minimized through development by the regulators of the "Australia/New Zealand National Standards for Gaming machines."By 1997, the working party adopted a new approach that maximized the contribution of manufacturers and operators in the development of the National Standards. Manufacturers had the opportunity to initiate proposed amendments to the standards, enabling a more open and transparent process. The latest version of the standards currently applies to NSW, QLD, SA, Vic and WA, and the document includes common "core" requirements agreed by all jurisdictions and a matrix that identifies the differing requirement of participating jurisdictions such as minimum player return, bet and prize limits.
The role of External Testing agenciesRegulators have agrees to accredit external testing agencies within the National testing Standards framework. Uniform technical standards now apply across most of the Australian and New Zealand gaming jurisdictions to accommodate the concerns of the manufacturers and improve the regulatory processes.However, new pressures have emerged arising from community concerns about the negative impacts of gambling, including changes to machine features and the provision of player information.Mr Lahey from the VCGA concluded his presentation with the logical next step:"Continued co-operation between regulators and manufacturers is critical to the success of 'responsible gambling' achieved through changes to the design and operation of gaming machines."
Break-out boxCurrent state of online GamingOver 200 operating companies or governmentsMore than 700 internet gaming sitesAt least 53 governments sanction some form of internet gaming worldwideThe "genie" is out of the bottle - online gaming is here to stayInternational co-operation is a must
Gaming Info - InterContinental CasinosTurnover - spin rates up to 600/hourBlackjack hand rates up to 550/hourSuccess based on deposits, not "drop"Detaild games statistics such as audited payout ratiosHold percentages lower than traditional operations (eg slots return up to 98%)
Bally Gaming pulls out of Australian market - again US-owned gaming machine maker Bally Gaming has closed its doors in Australia less than five years after attempting to re-establish its local presence. Bally Gaming spokesman Mr Ted Cully, whose clients include Crown casino and Tabcorp, confirmed that some staff have been laid off. This is the third time North America's second-largest gaming machine manufacturer, Bally Gaming, has pulled out of Australia since the early 1970s.
Two internet gambling companies bank on an IPO
Lasseters is aiming to raise $40 million in their float giving the casino group a market capitalisation on listing of $117.5 million. The company, which owns and operates the Lasseters Hotel Casino in Alice Springs and Australia's first licensed internet casino, Lasseters Online, is offering 30 million new shares at $1 each, raising $30 million to develop and expand its online casino and to retire debt. Lasseters Holdings, formerly Quilter Assets (Australia), bought Lasseters out of receivership for about $20 million in 1997. Since then, total revenue has increased 28 per cent to $20.4 million in 1998-99. This financial year, Lasseters Holdings' total revenue is forecast to grow 44 per cent to $29.4 million, with the hotel casino contributing $22.6 million and Lasseters Online $6.6 million. Lasseters Hotel Casino is forecast to post EBITDA of $4.9 million and Lasseters Online a loss of $3.4 million. Lasseters Hotel Casino opened in 1981. Lasseters Online, launched last April, is expected to contribute 22 per cent of the group's total revenue in 1999-2000 and 53 per cent of total revenue in the six months to December 31, 2000. The 120-page prospectus, containing some interesting facts and figures in relation to internet gambling, is available on the Macquarie website under Share offers at www.macquarie.com.au
Meanwhile, Access Gaming Systems Limited, a supplier of internet gaming systems, intends to raise approximately$45 million with an initial public offering of shares.
The company, with a workforce of over 150, supplies major casinos and lottery groups in regulated jurisdictions in Australia and Europe with a total Internet gaming system which the operators can easily customise.
Access supplies regulated internet casinos and lottery operators, including Lasseters Online, Tattersall's, Federal Hotels, Golden Casket and GOCORP in Australia as well as Austrian Lotteries, Westdeutsche Lotterie, Holland Casinos and RAL in Europe. Access' current clients have a combined turnover of in excess of $20 billion through their existing land based distribution channels.
"Our base of quality clients offers investors a unique opportunity to gain a diversified exposure to the rapidly expanding Internet gaming industry. Frost & Sullivan estimates the industry will grow from $639 million in 1998 to $17.2 billion 2003 representing a compound rate of growth of more than 40% per annum," Managing Director, Stephen Mulcahy comments, "The industry is still in its infancy and Access expects to sign up additional clients in the near future."
Access has also taken the approach of making its Internet gaming system an open platform, enabling its clients and independent games developers to create new games based on its platform. To achieve this, it provides its Game Development Kit (GDK) free of charge.
Access is forecasting revenues of $11.3 million in the year to June 30, 2000 with a net loss of $7.5 million. Directors say that while the majority of Access' clients will not be operational until the latter part of year ending 30 June 2000, these clients should contribute strongly to Access' revenues in 2001 and beyond.
The prospectus can be viewed on Access' website www.access.com.au

" Brand: Tesco / Product Type: Tea Jar "
In order to complete the Tesco Heritage set we also bought the Tea jar to accompany the Coffee and Sugar jars. Unlike the previous two jars the quality of the seal on the Tea jar was nowhere near as important as both my wife and I only drink tea and as a result the tea bag jar in our house doesn't tend to hold the same tea bags for any great length of time. We wanted to make sure all three Jars were from the same range and as a result also picked up the Tea Jar as it too was only £2.50 and with a total price of £7.50 for three ceramic jars it was a nice way to decorate our Kitchen with something practical.
Not Quite As Important For Tea
Whilst it was important that the seal on the Coffee and Sugar Jars was robust and kept the contents fresh, this requirement is exceedingly less important on the Tea Jar. We do use the Tea Jar considerably more, so even though the seal for preserving the goods inside perhaps didn't need to be quite as good as on the other two jars, it did have to be able to withstand a lot of opening and closing, which given the months of use we've already put it through, it has stood up to this test incredibly well.
Holding The Bags
Just like the Coffee and Sugar Jars, the Ceramic Heritage Tea Jar has a capacity of 850ml which makes it a decent size for any family and means that we do not have to fill it too often, despite the amount of tea bags we seem to go through. Between the two of us we do drink a lot of Tea, at least one cup each a day and as a result we need something with decent storage capacity that fits in with the look we are trying to achieve in our Kitchen and this ticks both boxes. The air tight seal on the container keeps the tea bags inside nice and fresh.
Once the Tea bags were inside we had plenty of bags held within the jar and with the sealed lid in place it looks a very decent product. Since we bought the jars in April we have refilled the Jar only a couple of times, which given its capacity shows that it has held at least 100 tea bags.
Like the Sugar and Coffee Jars, the Heritage Tea Jar is dishwasher safe, which would make washing it out nice and easy if we had a dishwasher, however it cleans up perfectly with old fashioned soap and water as well. The beige colouring of the product makes it blend in easily to our Kitchen, especially alongside the Coffee and Sugar jars and despite having an 850ml capacity it, just like the other Jars and it is only 10cm wide, meaning they all take up minimal worktop space.
As I've already mentioned that for me was the key feature we were looking for and the Tesco Heritage storage collection and as a set they all delivered exactly what we had hoped. As we had hoped the lid has stood up well to the constant use and still remains in its original position with no real signs of wear and tear making this seem like even more of a bargain for the price.
For the price and the style of the Heritage jars you really can't go wrong. They are a solid product that has been made with quality in mind and really serves there purpose well. As part of a set it looks good in our Kitchen and really is inkeeping with the overall aesthetics of the room, which for £2.50 is a steal. As a range I can honestly say that the Heritage collection is a winner and one we would be glad to recommend to anyone, especially at only £2.50 per jar.

Customer questions about this product
- What is the difference between an italian ice, a slushy, and a snow cone?
- An italian ice, also known as a water ice, is very smooth and its flavoring is mixed into the ice before or during freezing. A slushy, also known as an Icee or granita, typically comes in icy liquid form, and the flavor is added before the freezing process.
For a crunchier product, snow cones use larger, shaved ice, that is generally flavored at the point of sale.
- Should this item be refrigerated after opening?
- According to the vendor, this product should be refrigerated after opening, and for best results, used within one year.
- This product tasted like sugar and seemed to lack flavor. Did I use it incorrectly?
- For best results, it is recommended to shake this bottle of syrup before using.

Fox's does make good grape syrup. This is very good on snow cones and more. The quality and quantity are great and especially for the price.
Tonya L. Posted on 12/15/2016
This Grape syrup is very tasty and great smooth consistency. We use it on our snow cones and the kid's love it! Very strong flavor.
Alpha E. from Dang Good Dogs Posted on 07/03/2016
This brand flavoring has never disappointed anybody. It's strong enough for a great taste but not too strong. We will for sure be trying different flavors this company makes. A+++
Mindy A. from Wagamans Fun Farm Posted on 03/22/2016
This is a great grape syrup. Delivers a dynamic grape flavor that is not too overpowering. Adds a nice color to snow cones and slushies.
Jonathan P. Posted on 02/25/2015
I am very happy with the value and price of this product. I wil hope to order more in the future. But what I was disappointed with, is that it didn't have a security cap on this product.
Angela S. from Just Us Kidz & More... Posted on 07/17/2014
This is a great flavor of snow cone syrup! It is more basic than Italian ice syrup and should really only be used for making snow cones!!!
Eric K. Posted on 11/02/2012
Great product for a Sno Cone machine! And it's a lot cheaper than other products I have used in the past! Each flavor is strong and not watered down like a lot of other cone syrups are.
Michael J. Posted on 09/20/2011
This is a great deal for the money! It is very easy to use but make sure you buy the pumps! Trying to pour this stuff directly onto sno cones makes for a huge soggy mess!
Megan K. from Georgia Southern University Posted on 11/17/2010
This is great product I could not say anything more about this. I love all the flavors. The price is just right and I will buy more.

You might be sitting on millions of ISKs as you traverse the Milky Way, but a whole lot of good that does you when the rent is due at the end of the month. If only there was some way to combine business with pleasure, right? To turn all those hours you've devoted to developing your Eve Account into something akin to a real, paying job—or at least enough to cover some of those bills that plague you each month.
There is! If you're spending hours and hours developing your Eve Accounts and you don't mind parting with your Eve Characters, you can make real money by selling your Eve Accounts through a store that specializes in trading, buying, and selling wow accounts, FFXI Accounts, Linage 2 Accounts, everquest accounts, and Eve Accounts online.
A lot of people wish they were you—or more accurately, wish that their Eve Characters were your Eve Characters. You know better than anyone how long it takes to build up your skill points and acquire incredible ships and assets for your Eve Accounts. Can you imagine being someone who enjoys playing Eve but can never manage to spend enough time to build up his or her Eve Accounts? You'd never get anywhere in the game!
You, on the other hand, enjoy spending so much time building up your Eve Online Accounts that it's starting to get boring being stuck with the same old faces of the same old Eve Online Characters day after day. You have so many ISKs you can't help but be jealous of your own Eve Characters; you're still trying to make ends meet while to your Eve Characters, kredits are no object!
How do you help your fellow Eve players begin to enjoy all Eve has to offer while putting a little more excitement into the game for you? How do you turn your millionaire Eve Characters into real life profit for you? Again, by selling your Eve Accounts online!
Just don't take matters into your own hands when there is a way that'll make your life so much easier. Do you really even know how to go about selling your Eve Accounts on your own? If you list the Eve Accounts on an auction site, not only will that involve a lot more work for you, there's no guarantee your buyer will pay on time. The buyer might never pay at all and you'd have to go through the auction all over again! Or maybe you won't get a buyer at all! Then what?
You could try pawning off the Eve Accounts on one of your buddies, but friends practically expect a discount. (And maybe they should deserve of one if you want to keep the air clean between you!) Plus, friends are more likely to get lazy about the whole thing. Remember the last time you lent that friend a DVD for "just a few days"? Yeah…
What if you found a pal who would give you a little money for your Eve Accounts only for him or her to hem and haw for a few weeks and then a few months… And in the end, he or she never does get that money to you. Meanwhile, you'd put building up the levels on that Eve Online Account on hold, expecting it to no longer your responsibility. You could have spent that time making your Eve Characters worth far more!
Look for an MMORPG Account store service that makes selling wow accounts, Lineage 2 Accounts, FFXI Accounts, everquest accounts, and Eve Accounts a guaranteed easy experience. Professionals will evaluate your Eve Account, give you a quote, and if you choose to sell your Eve Account, you'll be finished with the transaction. Let them find the buyer for you—you've got games to play!
And now you'll be able to reinvigorate your Eve experience by starting from scratch and building up a new set of Eve Characters to sell again (or keep, if you get attached to this Eve Account) and make a little extra money to pay the bills. Get good enough at it and you may make enough money selling your Eve Account that working from home playing Eve wouldn't be such a long shot after all!

Collingwood have named Chris Dawes for their preliminary final away to Sydney, while Alan Didak has been replaced by 20-year-old midfielder Ben Sinclair.
Dawes suffered a knee injury in the Magpies' semi-final triumph over West Coast last Saturday and had to hobble through the final term as Collingwood had already subbed Didak out with a calf problem.
While Didak has not recovered in time for Friday night's preliminary final against the Swans at ANZ Stadium, Dawes has been picked with the 24-year-old big forward and second ruck option crucial to Nathan Buckley's Collingwood set-up.
Sinclair returns immediately for Collingwood having played in the Magpies' 38-point qualifying final defeat to Hawthorn.
Sydney have brought Heath Grundy straight back into their side after the 26-year-old defender served his one-match suspension for striking Geelong's James Podsiadly in the Swans' Round 23 clash with the Cats.
In Saturday's twilight preliminary final between Hawthorn and Adelaide, Crows coach Brenton Sanderson has selected Jared Petrenko despite the 22-year-old finishing last Friday's semi-final win over Fremantle in tears after dislocating his right shoulder just before the final siren.
But after undergoing a tackling fitness test behind closed doors, Petrenko has seemingly proven his fitness for Adelaide's trip to the MCG.
Sanderson has picked Andy Otten as a defensive replacement for Sam Shaw, who was subbed off with a hamstring injury against the Dockers.
Hawthorn have brought Jordan Lewis and Clinton Young back into the side with the two left-footers having recovered from minor hamstring and calf injuries respectively.
Lewis and Young have replaced Brendan Whitecross, who suffered a season-ending knee injury against Collingwood a fortnight ago, and the omitted Thomas Murphy.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thank you for your reply. The 'fiberglass' that is behind the wood appears to go all the way form top to bottom(i can see it when i take the centerboard trunk top off and look down) and is on both sides.(removed some rotten wood form the other side while i was at it.) I believe i've removed all the rotten wood, (went out in a circle with a hammer and wood chisel till i hit hard wood on all sides...) My intention was to put a layer of resin and fiberglass on top of the 'fiberglass' backing that was already there, and then replace the wood that i took out. My other thought was to just replace the whole bottom board, but as you'll see in the photos, there are lag bolts coming up from the bottom, and being that they are inside the fiberglass on the bottom, i have no idea how i would get them out to replace the bottom board....
Also, i was wondering if anyone would have any recommendations on how to get the wood dried out quicker. The sooner i ould get this repair done the better, so i can get it back out on the water to see if it holds up, or if i have more work to do.
towards the bottom of the second image you will see two gery areas. The grey area is the steel centerboard behind the 'fiberglass'
Hi David,
Pictures will definitely help. I interpret from what you have written that the problem is a leak at the centerboard trunk due to rotten wood. I am not so clear about the presence of fiberglass and resin behind the wood. My guess is that this was used as a patch when the leak initially showed up.
You will want to remove ALL rotten wood. The best repair method would entail replacing the section of the trunk that incorporated the dry rot. Fiberglass and resin will not adhere to bad wood. If you have moderate woodworking skills, this should not be a huge job. When we see the pictures, the group will have a better idea of what you're facing and will probably have some great suggestions.
|Ummm...if the deck is separating from the hull, it is far more than just in need of a bit of restoration...it is in need of a full blown re-build. I hope you didn't pay too much for the boat... as it sounds like it is in really sad shape. You're going to have to find any holes through the laminate that expose the wood and fix them. If not, the boat's wooden frame will rot out fairly quickly.
HELP! Leaking Centerboard Trunk
Hi, i recently purchased a 1941 18ft Dunphy Condor, wood framed with fiberglass, in need of some restoration. After a lot of refinishing on the interior wood, we finally put it in the water last weekend. Within minutes there was over 6 inches of water in the bottom. i found the source... there was a steady stream of water pouring out of the centerboard turnk about 3 inches up from the floor planking. After pulling it out of the water and getting it home, i found that there was actually a 2 inch long by half an inch high strip of wood gone. I began picking at the wood around it to find out that much of it was rotten. After a while i had actually removed a section of wood about 15inches long by 5 inches high .... behind the wood is a thin layer of of fiberglass. There were actually two very small(about half the diameter of a dime) sized holes in the fiberglass, about 4 inches below where the water was actually coming out of the wood....
My first question is, what method of repair would you recommend? If i apply a resin and fiberglass patch to the fiberglass, and then put a wood patch in what i took out, do you think that will stop the leak, or do you think there are other such holes and it will simply find another way out of the wood?
Secondly, there is no centerboard gasket on the bottom. Do you think putting one on would help this situation at all? And if so, where could i get one?? i'm in the middle of iowa, with no marine stores around me at all......
And lastly, and completly seperate from the above problem, the deck is seperating from the hull. What would you recommend for repairing it?
Thank you all for your time. If pictures would help anyone i can easily get some.

I did not combine xtreg,fe with sureg; I ran them as alternative estimators of a model involving the Grunfeld data. sureg is indeed estimating fixed effects, if one takes fixed effects in the vernacular to mean a unit-specific intercept. Each sureg equation has an intercept, with an i subscript. How is that not a fixed effect?Nik's question as well as my original one, however, is legitimate. You may think that "sureg" is a panel data estimator, but it does not handle fixed effects by itself. Your example clearly indicated that you had to combine "sureg" with "xtreg" to deal with the issue at hand, which was exactly what I didn't but wanted to know about when I raised my question. Therefore, your claim that by using "sureg," one is already estimating fixed effects is, I hate to say, less than true.

Pascal-Hopkins PR Quotes
By Karl Freitag
Jean Pascal: "I won in Quebec City last December 18 and I will decisively win the rematch. But this time when I send him to the canvas, I'll make sure he doesn't get up again. Hopkins isn't getting any younger and he gave everything he had left in his body the last time. He can't be any better. I'm ready to settle this once and for all here in Quebec in front of my fans."
Bernard Hopkins: "I'm a threat and my age doesn't matter, Pascal knows it. He was credited with two knockdowns and is almost 20 years younger than me and he still wasn't able to win the fight. The fans know who really won. I gave Pascal an old-fashioned beating and I'll do it again. Believe me, Pascal knows exactly what's waiting for him on May 21 – it will be 'execution time' again."

As a home it manages to be both imposing and informal, while offering brilliant value for money. Bygone grandeur vies with modernity and the vaguely seventies style of some of the furnishings and wallpapers add a touch of humor and humanity.
