The Board met on 19 September, and an account of the discussions and outcomes is given here.CEO Report – Update on 2016/17 - Ann Francke updated the Board on business performance in the year to date, with strong sales activity and healthy future pipeline. The Board considered the impact on revenue budgets and targets due to internal realignment of the sales team and changes in income recognition policy, the latter as discussed with the Auditors.There is no adverse impact on invoiced sales or cash inflows, and action is being taken to ensure that we are doing all we can to meet the no-miss revenue target of £13.3m. One important factor is that Higher Education Partnerships are on course to achieve their aspirational invoiced sales targets across the whole financial year. A view is also being formulated that the income recognition policy agreed with the Auditors may be over cautious. This will be reviewed further at the next meeting of the Finance and Audit Committee, with outcomes reported to the Board.Proposed approach to articulating risk appetite - The Board kicked off a review of the overarching approach to identifying risk, defining an acceptable level of risk, and reflecting this within a new style risk register. There is an agreed need for a top down approach to agreeing the major strategic risks, and a business imperative to define risk appetite.Board and executive team members worked in small groups, reviewing and consolidating a series of risk items put forward as part of pre-meeting activity. The headings being used are strategic growth, operational, reputational and financial.In reporting back, comments were made on points of principle including (a) the need for braver decision making; (b) capitalising swiftly on market opportunities as they arise and (c) the need to future proof systems and infrastructure, to ensure that they continue to evolve and are fit for purpose for an organisation with expanded reach and ambition.Next steps are:• further work by the Board and Executive Leadership team, via email, to write up and refine risk items and tighten the underpinning descriptors• discussion at the November Board meeting to finalise the list of risks and determine the appetite position, to be factored into the 2017/18 business planning process• a final task of risk aggregation, to assess overall risk tolerance and ensure that this was not set at too high a level in overall terms.Annual Statements of Compliance - Nigel Spencer, Chair of Regulation Compliance Committee, provided the Board with an update on the Committee's work and, in particular, Statements of Compliance required to be submitted to Regulators in England, Wales and Northern Ireland by the end of September 2016.The background provided to the Board is that revised Regulatory Framework for Qualifications (RQF) introduced by Ofqual, has replaced the Qualifications Credit Framework (QCF); the latter having formed the basis on which Institute qualifications were designed and developed. An action plan is therefore in place for qualifications review and development, aiming to meet the deadline of December 2017. It was agreed that there is a wider Institute imperative to review qualifications content, to ensure degree of fit with HE and Apprenticeship strategies.The expert work of Regulation Compliance Committee was duly recognised.'Chartered Management Consultant' (ChMC) – Update and Scenario Planning - Martin Cook, Trustee lead on this project, updated the Board on the prospect of Privy Council approval for 'Chartered Management Consultant' being finally confirmed in the coming weeks. On this basis, the joint CMI/IC/MCA Steering Board has met to assess the next steps and to gauge the prospects for successful roll out of the new award. Success hinges on the appetite and interest within the large consultancy firms and systems integrators in engineering and technology. The best case scenario will be for these firms to embrace the new award, map it against, and link it to, their existing consultancy training programmes, and come to a financial arrangement whereby they would cover the assessment and subscription fees for their Consultants to attain the award and become Institute members.A further important element is development of a 'professional home' for Consultants within the Institute, with a strong programme of continuing development and thought leadership activity.The Board approved an initial tranche of investment for ChMC development over the next 6 months, for project management and further market analysis, including discussions with the large firms, subject to Privy Council approval being obtained. A more detailed overview of the programme plan and trigger points for development will be submitted to the Board at its November 2016 or February 2017 meeting.WiM Developments - The Board noted positive moves to reinvigorate the Women in Management Network, under the name of 'CMI Women', led by its Advisory Committee. A relaunch event is planned for 23 November 2016.Heather Melville CCMI, Director for Strategic Partnerships and Head of Business Inclusion Initiatives at RBS, was appointed to the Board and as Chair of the Advisory Committee for 'CMI Women';Plans for the 23 November launch event will be communicated shortly.Governance update and AGM outcomes - The Board noted that, with member approval having been given at the AGM to the Special Resolution on Board composition and terms of office, subject to Privy Council approval, formal proposals will now be developed to amend Board Regulations governing the number of elected Trustees. Transitional arrangements will be implemented by 31 March 2017.Finance report to 31 July 2016 - This shows shortfall in income in the short term, due to the prudent income recognition policy, offset by underspend on overhead costs. Net contribution for the year to date is in line with budget and reserves ahead of target.Board strategy review meeting – On 25 November, the Board will meet for a whole day session for its strategy review, as part of development of the 2017/18 business plan.

I have designed a post card. It is for a 4X6 card size. It will cost 32¢ to mail each one. If you mail 5, you'll probably spend less than $5, for the cards and the postage. If you have to buy the cards in bulk you'll pay about $2.50 for 100 unruled cards.
this is the card:
Here is a pdf file that will print 6X4 for the front:
on the opposite side, on the right half, place the mailing address of your rep, and your return address.
On the left side of the reverse, this is what I'm writing:
If you vote for any further restrictions on gun rights,
I will vote for your challenger in the next election.
It does not matter to me which party you are in,
or which party your challenger is from.
I will tell everyone I know to do the same.
Like this:I would strongly suggest you write your note by hand, not typewritten.
Here's a pdf for the address side... eyes only:
Note for the pdf files, they are designed to fit 6X4... you will have to adjust the printing in the pop up print dialog box when you click print. There is usually a button for page size in the print dialog box that will allow you to alter page size. use 4X6 and print landscape.
Ignore reverse.pdf it is an error as is the thumbnail in the attached thumbnails box at thte bottom...
I fixed reverse.pdf... it is now reverse2.pdf

USS Mobjack (AVP-27/AGP-7) was a motor torpedo boat tender in commission in the United States Navy from 1943 to 1946. She saw service in the Pacific theater during the latter portion of World War II.
After the conclusion of her Navy career, the ship served in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey from 1946 to 1966 as the survey ship USC&GS Pioneer (OSS 31), the third Coast and Geodetic Survey ship of the name. Pioneer operated in the Pacific Ocean during her career, making an important discovery of magnetic striping on the ocean floor that made a major contribution to the development of the theory of plate tectonics, and was the first ship in the history of the United States Coast Survey or U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey to visit the Indian Ocean.

Construction and commissioning[edit]
Mobjack was laid down as a seaplane tender, AVP‑27, by Lake Washington Shipyard, Houghton Washington, on 25 February 1942 and launched on 2 August 1942, sponsored by Mrs. H. R. Peck. She was reclassified as a motor torpedo boat tender and redesignated AGP‑7 on 11 March 1943 and commissioned on 17 October 1943 with Commander D. B. Coleman in command.
World War II[edit]
Following shakedown off southern California, Mobjack departed San Diego, California, for the Southwest Pacific on 14 December 1943. Steaming via New Caledonia and the New Hebrides, she arrived at Rendova, British Solomon Islands, on 14 January 1944 to begin duty with Motor Torpedo Boat Squadrons, South Pacific (SOPAC). She trained and supplied patrol torpedo boats (PT boats) in the New Georgia area until 6 March 1944, when she steamed to the Treasury Islands and thence to the motor torpedo boat base, Emirau, arriving on 23 March 1944. In mid‑May 1944 she returned to the Treasury Islands, where she overhauled PT boats and repaired and tended the motor gunboats (PGMs) and landing craft infantry gunboats (LCI(G)s) of Task Group 30.3 into July 1944.
Employed briefly in transporting spares and other materiel, she departed for British New Guinea on 23 July 1944, arriving at Dreger Harbor on 27 July 1944 to begin service under Commander, Motor Torpedo Boat Squadrons, 7th Fleet. During the greater part of August 1944 she operated at Aitape Harbor, tending Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron (MTBRBon) 33 and providing assistance in salvage work. On 28 August 1944, she got underway for Mios Woendi, Netherlands New Guinea, in company with MTBRBon 33. Arriving there on 31 August 1944, she was engaged in fueling, provisioning and making final repairs to the PT boats of the squadron preparatory to sailing for Morotai as a unit of Task Group 70.1.
Arriving at Morotai on 16 September 1944, the day after the American landings there, she commenced tending the boats of her squadron and Consolidated PBY Catalina flying boats assigned to air-sea rescue of pilots downed en route to and from raids on Truk. For the first three days she went about her duties unscathed in spite of Japanese air resistance.
At sunrise on 19 September 1944, however, a smoking Japanese fighter emerged from a heavy overcast and dove for Mobjack. Unable to crash into the ship, the pilot dropped two bombs which exploded close alongside, holing the deck and wounding one of her crew.
Making temporary repairs, she remained at Morotai, tending PT boats of Task Unit 70.1.2 and PBYs now ranging over the Netherlands East Indies on relief and intelligence and reconnaissance missions, until February 1945.
The Philippines[edit]
During February and March 1945, Mobjack transported materiel, spares, and advanced base personnel as she accompanied motor torpedo boat squadrons to forward areas. At Mios Woendi on 1 April 1945, she took on base force personnel of MTBRons 9 and 10 and on 2 April 1945 got underway for Samar in the Philippine Islands. Arriving on 11 April 1945, she disembarked her passengers and steamed on to Palawan, where she relieved motor torpedo boat tender USS Willoughby (AGP-9) as the repair unit for MTBRons 20 and 23. She moved on to Mangarin Bay, Mindoro, in mid‑May 1945 to overhaul and repair motor torpedo boats for use in the Philippines and in the upcoming Borneo operations.
The Borneo campaign[edit]
On 8 June 1945, Mobjack steamed to Samar to stage for the landings at Balikpapan on Borneo. Departing on 21 June 1945, she moved, with MTBRons 10 and 27, to Basilan Island, thence, on 26 June 1945, further down the Sulu Archipelago and into Makassar Strait. On 27 June 1945, she joined the minesweepers, at work since 1 June 1945, and the ships of the bombardment group, which had been pounding the Japanese-held oil center since 17 June 1945, in preparing the way for the Australian assault force. For four days Mobjack fueled and sustained the motor torpedo boats assigned to night patrol off the coast to prevent the Japanese from replacing naval mines, restoring obstacles blown by underwater demolition teams, or disturbing channel markers planted by the minesweepers. On 1 July 1945, these extensive preparations and precautions proved to have been well executed as wave after wave of personnel of the Australian 7th Division of the Australian I Corps went ashore without a casualty.
Mobjack, harassed by Japanese night air attacks until Royal Australian Air Force night fighters stopped them, remained outside the harbor for the next nine days. On 11 July 1945 she stood into the harbor, where, on 15 August 1945, she received a dispatch directing the cessation of all offensive action against the Japanese. World War II was over.
Honors and awards[edit]
Mobjack received three battle stars for World War II service.
Post-World War II[edit]
On 12 September 1945, Mobjack returned to the Philippines and for the next two months engaged in decommissioning motor torpedo boats under Commander, Motor Torpedo Boat Squadrons, Philippine Sea Frontier. On 10 November 1945 she headed eastward, arriving at San Francisco, California, on 29 November 1945.
In December 1945, stripping of Mobjack began, and on 21 August 1946 she was decommissioned. The Navy transferred her the same day to the United States Department of Commerce.
U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey service[edit]
After the ship underwent conversion into an "ocean survey ship" (OSS), the Department of Commerce commissioned her into service with the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey as USC&GS Pioneer (OSS 31), the third Coast and Geodetic Survey ship to bear the name.
Pioneer spent her Coast and Geodetic Survey career on duties in the Pacific Ocean.
Early operations[edit]
Pioneer departed the U.S. West Coast in April 1947 for her first assignment, which was hydrographic survey work in the Aleutian Islands.[1] She spent the field seasons of 1947, 1948, 1949, and 1950 in the Aleutians, also running sounding lines from points in the Aleutians across the Gulf of Alaska and North Pacific Ocean to points on the U.S. West Coast.[2][3][4]
Discovery of magnetic striping[edit]
During the 1950s, Pioneer's operations moved beyond the Aleutians into the broader Pacific Ocean, and by 1955 she was involved in Project Magnet, a highly classified U.S. Government effort to study underwater magnetism in support of U.S. Navy submarine operations. That year, the English oceanographer Ron G. Mason (1916-2009), on sabbatical at the California Institute of Technology, received permission from the project director to tow the ASQ-3A fluxgate magnetometer, developed by Victor Vacquier of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, behind Pioneer while she conducted her Navy research as well as to embark aboard Pioneer himself to map any magnetic anomalies the magnetometer detected on the seafloor. During the summer of 1955, Mason arranged to have the ASQ-3A – originally designed for use aboard aircraft – housed in a non-magnetic, fishlike container, making it the first marine magnetometer. In August 1955, Pioneer conducted a survey from Point Conception, California, to Cape Flattery, Washington, with Mason aboard and the ASQ-3A trailing in her wake in its container. Within hours, Mason detected an unmistakable pattern of north-south magnetic "stripes" in the seafloor rocks; as Pioneer's cruise – which went down in history as "The Pioneer Survey" – continued, Mason continued to observe this pattern throughout the survey area. The stripes indicated both periodic reversals of the earth's magnetic poles and the steady creation of new rocks which spread across the sea bottom as the ocean floor moved, making a record of these changes in polarity. Mason's work aboard Pioneer with the fluxgate magnetometer thus revealed "magnetic striping" on the floor of the Pacific, the first time it had been noted anywhere and a major discovery in the development of the theory of plate tectonics.[5]
Operations, 1957-1960[edit]
Pioneer continued offshore hydrographic work in the Pacific Ocean off the U.S. West Coast – at one point holding an open house while in port – until 5 March 1957, when she departed San Francisco for the Territory of Hawaii, where she conducted electronic-position-indicator- (EPI-) guided basic survey operations north of the Hawaiian Islands under direction of the U.S. Navy along with two U.S. Navy survey ships.[6] The operations continued until December 1957, with 63,000 square nautical miles (216,000 square kilometers) of hydrography accomplished. Upon their termination, Pioneer steamed to San Francisco, where she arrived in January 1958. After an overhaul and post-overhaul fitting-out, Pioneer resumed survey work for the Navy on 1 May 1958, this time off the southern coast of California.[7] Upon completing this, she deployed to the Western Pacific, where she cooperated with the U.S. Navy oceanographic survey ship USS Rehoboth (AGS-50) – also a former Barnegat-class seaplane tender – and the United States Army cable ship USACS Albert J. Myer in completing 65,196 square nautical miles (223,622 square kilometers) of hydrography around Wake Island and Eniwetok Atoll, guided by LORAN, LORAC, and EPI. Completing these operations on 12 November 1958, she steamed to San Francisco for annual repairs and the installation of new equipment.[8]
After conducting sea trials of the new equipment on 11 February 1959, Pioneer departed Alameda, California, on 20 February 1959 bound for Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii. From there she deployed for further hydrographic work in the western Pacific. Pioneer herself and her survey launches completed inshore hydrography of the project area on 28 May 1959, after which Pioneer conducted offshore hydrography controlled by LORAC and LORAN, beginning with an exploratory survey of the entire project area, followed by surveys for the location and routes of submarine cables. She completed the project in June 1959 and returned to Alameda on 23 June 1959.[8]
On 9 September 1959, Pioneer departed California, stopped at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and then proceeded to Kwajalein Atoll, where she performed hydrographic survey operations in support of a classified U.S. Navy project. Completing these, she departed Kwajalein on 14 November 1959 and arrived at Alameda on 29 November 1959, where she underwent an overhaul and routine repairs and prepared for the 1960 field season. On 24 March 1960, she departed Alameda bound for Pearl Harbor – running a deep-sea sounding line for the Commander, Pacific Missile Test Range, along the way – and resumed hydrographic operations under SHORAN control.[9] She completed these on 1 July 1960 and during her voyage home ran a bathymetric profile from Roi-Namur at Kwajalein Atoll to Point Buchon, California, which she reached on 25 July 1960. She then underwent maintenance and routine repairs, which were completed on 23 August 1960. She completed the 1960 field season with operations off California, including the establishment of EPI and SHORAN stations on the coast to support offshore oceanographic work and involving use of a bathythermograph to make ocean surface temperature measurements for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service's Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, drift measurements, the use of a towed magnetometer, oceanographic and atmospheric measurements at various locations, and the investigation by her survey launches of possible shoaling in San Francisco Bay.[10]
1961 field season[edit]
Prior to the 1961 field season, Pioneer underwent major repairs to her hull plating, and the Coast and Geodetic Survey equipped her a with a gravity meter and a towed transducer. On 11 April 1961, she began the 1961 field season, departing Alameda for Kodiak, Alaska. Along the way, she developed information on four seamounts, conducted oceanographic measurements, released weather balloons and made frequent meteorological reports, and collected gravity measurements. Her personnel inspected the Seismic Sea Wave Warning System gauge and the standard tide gauge at Womens Bay and the nautical chart agency at Kodiak.[11]
Pioneer then set out from Kodiak to conduct ocean surveys in the North Pacific Ocean between the Aleutian Islands and Hawaiian Islands to the limit of LORAN-C control, during which she again released weather balloons and made frequent meteorological reports, conducted bathymetric measurements, employed her magnetometer and gravity meter, took bottom core samples in Shelikof Strait, discovered a layer of warm water at depths of 320 to 440 feet (97.5 to 134 meters) between 50 degrees and 53 degrees North latitude, across all sounding lines, and discovered eleven seamounts.[11] After a rendezvous with the Coast and Geodetic Survey ocean survey ships USC&GS Pathfinder (OSS 30) and USC&GS Surveyor (OSS 32) at Naval Station Kodiak in Kodiak, she departed Kodiak on 6 July 1961 to conduct bathymetry and oceanography in the Aleutian Trench. Arriving at Adak on Adak Island in the Aleutians on 11 July 1961, she conducted gravimetric measurements and investigated the westerly set of currents in the area, also launching weather balloons and making meteorological observations.[12]
Pioneer visited Honolulu for the 25–29 August 1961 meeting of the Tenth Pacific Science Congress. Departing Honolulu on 7 September 1961, she resumed the survey of the North Pacific she had begun in 1960, discovering gravimetric anomalies north of the Hawaiian Islands and 22 seamounts rising 3,000 feet (915 meters) or more above the general bottom depth of 17,100 feet (5,212 meters). During the voyage, she also collected specimens using plankton nets and fishing trawls in support of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Bureau of Commercial Fisheries studies of salmon, studied marine sedimentary processes, investigated the possible pollution of ocean and rain water by Soviet nuclear tests, and collected numerous manganese nodules in core samples before returning to Honolulu on 12 October 1961. She departed on 18 October 1961 to return to California, where she arrived on 25 October 1961, running a sounding line en route.[12]
1962 field season[edit]
After an overhaul, Pioneer set out on 25 February 1962 to begin the 1962 field season, running a deep-sea sounding line to Hawaii. Departing Pearl Harbor on 16 March 1962, she resumed her survey of the North Pacific Ocean, running a sounding line to 35 degrees 30 minutes North latitude, and another sounding line to San Francisco, where she arrived on 25 March 1962. After 20 of her personnel attended Radiation and Decontamination School, she departed California on 20 April 1962 and conducted an investigation of Pacific waters which had seen recent underwater nuclear tests, including water temperature measurements, chemical analyses, measurements of radioactivity and of the different elements making up the radioactive water in the area of an underwater nuclear explosion, and study of the effects of radioactivity on plant and animal life in and near the test areas. She completed the project on 25 June 1962 and returned to California, arriving at Oakland. She had conducted gravimetric measurements continuously throughout the voyage.[12]
Pioneer underwent an overhaul, then conducted trials of a new deep-sea anchoring winch installed aboard her before departing Oakland on 9 August 1962 and returning to her survey of the North Pacific, running a sounding line along 36 degrees 30 minutes North latitude as well as taking gravimetric, meteorological, and magnetic measurements, and she made oceanographic observations in the Aleutian Trench. After calling at Naval Station Kodiak for supplies, she departed Kodiak on 1 September 1962, ran a magnetic survey and gravimetric transect of about 1,400 nautical miles (2,493 km) for the University of California, and resumed her North Pacific survey, making further gravimetric, magnetic field, bathythermograph, current, and meteorological observations and conducting underwater photography.[13]
Pioneer arrived at Honolulu on 28 September 1962. then made a voyage to Hilo, Hawaii, during which she ran a gravity transect to a point 100 nautical miles (185.2 km) southwest of the island of Hawaii and then to the island's westernmost point and around the south of the island to Hilo. She also made 20 successful dredge hauls on the ridge atop the east rift of Kilauea Volcano, took deep-sea photographs of the rift, and made six dredge hauls along underwater volcanoes to the south and southwest of the island. She ran gravity transects northeast of Hilo and east of Oahu before departing Hawaii, concluding the 1962 season with deep-sea sounding lines during her return to California, where she arrived at San Francisco on 31 October 1962. She had again made continuous gravimetric measurements since putting to sea in August 1962.[13]
1963 field season[edit]
Pioneer put to sea again on 6 February 1963 to resume her survey of the North Pacific and run trials for her gravity meter. Between 7 and 14 February she ran a deep-sea sounding line into the survey area in the North Pacific, then continued survey work she had left incomplete in 1961, including weather observations, almost continuous use of her gravity meter and magnetometer, and deep-sea sounding lines from Hawaii to San Francisco and return that each crossed the gravity meter test range. After a port call, she put to sea again on 1 May 1963, making Nansen bottle casts, collecting bottom samples – including a seven-foot (2.1-meter) core sample taken at a depth of 22,170 feet (5,822 meters) in the Aleutian Trench – studying currents with drift bottles and a geomagnetic electrokinematograph, photographing the ocean bottom, and taking bathythermograph measurements. She also assisted the United States Air Force by deploying and recovering a mock-up of the Project Mercury space capsule off of Oahu so that the Air Force could practice parachuting men and equipment into the Pacific to place a flotation collar around it. She called at Kodiak from 27 to 31 May 1963, then returned to the North Pacific to continue her survey project, operating near 161 degrees West longitude between 39 degrees and 54 degrees North latitude. She discovered a 10,080-foot-tall (3,072-meter-tall) seamount in general depths of 18,000 feet (5,486 meters) at 40°47′00″N 160°17′00″W / 40.78333°N 160.28333°W before departing the area on 13 June 1963 to run a deep-sea sounding line to California, calibrating her gravity meter on the San Francisco test range along the way, and she berthed at Oakland on 18 June 1963.[13]
Pioneer made another voyage to the North Pacific survey grounds later in the 1963 field season, calibrating her gravity meter, making gravimetric measurements, and experimenting with the design of Nansen bottles, bathythermograph collection speeds, the use of a thermoprobe at a depth of 9,000 feet (2,743 meters) and the use of a sea sled to capture specimens. She concluded the 1963 season with a deep-sea sounding line run from Honolulu to Oakland.[14]
1964 field season[edit]
On 11 February 1964, Pioneer departed California to begin the 1964 field season. After completing the calibration of her gravity meter, she began a deep-sea sounding line to Hawaii on 13 February 1964, making hydrographic, magnetic, gravity, and bathythermograph observations, plankton tows, and biological productivity hauls along the way.[14]
International Indian Ocean Expedition[edit]
Pioneer departed Honolulu on 25 February 1964 on the first leg of the International Indian Ocean Expedition. The expedition took her from Honolulu to Manila in the Philippines, passing near the Mariana Islands, then from Manila to Singapore, transiting the southern South China Sea with a stop at Jesselton in Sabah, East Malaysia, on Borneo in Malaysia. Leaving Singapore on 27 March 1964, she proceeded through the Strait of Malacca, stopped at Penang Island in Malaysia, then crossed the Andaman Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean – becoming the first ship in the history of the United States Coast Survey or U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey to visit the Indian Ocean – to the mouth of India's Hooghly River, where a harbor pilot met her and conned her up the river to a berth in Calcutta. From Calcutta, she moved on to Colombo, Ceylon. On 25 May 1964, she departed Colombo and continued to Penang Island, then on to Phuket, Thailand, and Djakarta, Indonesia.[14] She then visited Palau from 9 to 11 July 1964 and Apra Harbor, Guam, from 17 to 19 July 1964. Her final stop was Honolulu, where she arrived on 30 July 1964, bringing the expedition to an end.[15]
Throughout the expedition, as water depths and conditions permitted, Pioneer made the same routine hydrographic, magnetic, gravimetric, and bathythermograph measurements and observations, plankton tows, and biological productivity hauls that she had made during her February voyage from California to Honolulu. In the South China Sea, she dredged the bottom in the vicinity of Seahorse Shoal and her scuba divers examined the peak of the seamount there for 30 minutes and took color photographs of it. Off Jesselton, she observed an oceanographic station and took a bottom core sample and deep-sea photographs. During her voyage from Singapore to Calcutta, she investigated the waters around the Andaman Islands, Nicobar Islands, and Langkawi islands and along the west side of the Malay Peninsula, employing her geological echo profiler (GEP) and gathering data on the sea bottom via core samples and dredging, and she examined the Ganges Canyon, the Trincomalee Canyon, and several undersea channels she crossed while running a track line from Little Andaman Island to the east coast of Ceylon. While proceeding from Colombo to Penang, she investigated the waters north of Sumatra and an undersea canyon south of Sumatra near the Sunda Strait.[14] During the Djakarta-to-Palau leg of her trip, she investigated the waters of Lombok Strait, ran a track line from Lombok Strait across the Java Sea, through Makassar Strait, and across the Celebes Sea, and collected a 16½-foot (5-meter) bottom core sample from the Mindanao Trench. She also made a GEP profile along the northern and eastern sides of and across the Palau Trench, and she collected dredging samples from its western and eastern slopes. While en route Guam from Palau, she collected a 13-foot (4-meter) bottom core sample from the Mariana Trench and made a GEP profile and took bottom samples west of Guam. On the final leg of the expedition, she made a track line from Guam to Honolulu, discovering nine seamounts along the way, the largest of which rose to 3,960 feet (1,207 meters) below the surface in waters with a general depth of 18,000 feet (5,486 meters) about 200 nautical miles (370 km) south of Wake Island.[15]
Ashore during the expedition, Pioneer's personnel made courtesy calls on the United States Ambassadors at Manila, Colombo, and Djakarta; the U.S. Consuls General at Singapore and Calcutta; the Philippine Coast and Geodetic Survey; and the Malaysian Geological Survey. Scientists embarked aboard Pioneer gave talks at the Bose Institute, the Zoological Survey of India, the Geological Survey of India, the Birla Industrial and Technical Museum, and the University of Ceylon. Pioneer personnel held press conferences in Penang and Djakarta, and the ship held open houses in Manila, Singapore, Calcutta, Colombo, Penang, and Djakarta.[14]
Later 1964 season[edit]
Pioneer departed Honolulu on 4 August 1964 to return to California, running a deep-sea track line while en route. During the voyage, she collected oceanographic data, and made hydrographic, gravity, and magnetic observations continuously and bathythermograph and weather observations every two hours. She also lowered her deep-sea camera equipment to take stereoscopic images of the ocean floor. She ran one line across the gravity meter test range prior to entering San Francisco Bay and surveyed the waters around the piers of the Golden Gate Bridge.
1965 field season[edit]
In early 1965, Pioneer ran deep-sea track lines between California and Hawaii, making oceanographic observations, and investigating a reported seamount that rose to 5,850 feet (1,783 meters) of the surface. She conducted ocean surveys west of Honolulu to 165 degrees West longitude between 20 degrees 30 minutes North and 35 degrees 30 minutes North. She also conducted a calibration loop to determine the accuracy of the Navy Satellite Navigation System (NAVSAT); comparison of the information acquired at Kodiak, Adak, Attu, Midway Atoll, Johnston Atoll, and Honolulu suggested that the NAVSAT system would be useful in ocean surveys.[15]
Final disposition[edit]
Pioneer was sold for scrap on 4 May 1966 to National Metal and Steel Corporation, Terminal Island, California.
Two geographic features on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, the Pioneer Fracture Zone and Pioneer Ridge, are named for Pioneer.

I played 3 freerolls. 15 minutes in each of them left, and tables where I Played weren't choosen to receive tickets.
Dear UhhWee,
Congratulations on winning a milestone prize in tournament 1300790857, Ronaldo Nazário Freeroll, $999 Added. You received the following prize(s):
* Dream Team Collection - Final Ticket
Thank you for participating.
Anyone knows what this exactly is? My table was chosen at todays Ronaldo Nazaro Freeroll and i won a ticket but im not sure what its about...
Btw i won 2 times 5$ and 17 tickets in puzzles, still need some spin and gos but i have time for another 29 days so i slow down a bit
sick hand with JJ btw DDDD
I think there are more successful players completing their challenges but heres mine, I didnt like the spin and go promo and turns out i never play a spin and go again so the challenge has a good impact on me
Hope to see some others updates of promo posting here
See you and catch a golden ticket!!!!
Dont hurry with the implementation of tasks, usually big prizes fall towards the end of the promo. While fulfilled 4 pieces of the puzzle Neimar - 4 tickets, and 5 pieces of the puzzle Ronaldo Nazario - 10 and $ 3 tickets. So far, a total of 10$, and 7 tickets. Left spin end go for later.
re: Poker & PokerStars Dream Team Collection
I painted Neymar JR and I got all tickets except for the hair $5. I'm sure Neymar JR paid more than $5 for that haircut lol.
I will try the Ronaldo Nazario (MTTs and SnGs) but the Cristiano Ronaldo (Spin and go) I don't think so; at least for now.

Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan
PURPOSE: Two-thirds of the world's population resides in the developing world. In developing regions such as south Asia <2% of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are surgically treated. The underlying CHD in patients complicated with infective endocarditis (IE) in these countries may be different in comparison to the West. This case-series attempts to describe IE in patients with CHD in Pakistan.
METHODS: Patients with CHD and endocarditis admitted to Aga Khan University between 1988–2001 were retrospectively studied.
RESULTS: Forty-eight patients with CHD had IE by Modified Duke's Criteria. Twenty-two (46%) patients were >16 years old. Uncorrected ventricular septal defect (33%), teratology of fallot (12.5%), atrial septal defect (6.3%), patent ductus arteriosus (5%), coarctation of aorta (5%) and congenital mitral valve disease (12.5%) were the most common underlying defects. Patients with cyanotic defects, particularly of the complex type, were underrepresented (6.3%). Only 11 (22.9%) patients had a previous palliative or corrective surgery. Mean age at surgery was 4.6 +/- 3.5 years. Streptococci (33%), Staphylococcus epidermidus (8.4%) and pseudomonas spp. (4.2%) were the most common microorganisms. Twenty-two (45.8%) patients had culture negative endocarditis. Patients with cyanotic heart disease were more likely to have positive cultures (78% vs. 48.7%), renal failure (28% vs.8.3%) and thrombocytopenia (60% vs. 11.7%), although the first two failed to reach statistical significance. However, there were no differences in heart failure, need for surgery and mortality. Surgery was required in nine (18.7%) patients and 13 (27.1%) patients died. Patients with heart failure (p <0.001, 95% CI 3.6–84), pseudomonal infection (p 0.06, 95%CI 2.5–7) and nosocomial endocarditis (p 0.06, 95% CI 2.5–7) had increased mortality.
CONCLUSION: In contrast to developed countries, IE in Pakistan complicates uncorrected left-to-right shunts or TOF. Complex cyanotic defects are underrepresented probably because they are usually incompatible with life when not corrected.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Endocarditis primarily complicates potentially correctible CHD in developing countries. High mortality was seen, despite the low risk of these defects, suggesting the need to aggressively seek and treat endocarditis in these patients.

The 35-year-old breakfast show host who was recently mocked for being too old for his slot by rival Chris Evans, reached 7.04 million listeners each week in the third quarter of the year - down from 7.72 million on the previous quarter.
In London, the Leeds-born DJ also continued to lose out to Capital's breakfast show hosts Johnny Vaughan and Lisa Snowdon.
Vaughan and Snowdon pulled in 1.03 million listeners each week during the same period compared to Moyles' 950,000 - down 30,000 on the last quarter.
This came despite Vaughan and Snowdon losing a tenth of their audience - 122,000 listeners - in three months.
The country's most popular breakfast show remains Wake Up to Wogan on BBC Radio Two, which has 7.76 million listeners tuning in each week.
Chris Evans, 43, will go head to head with Moyles when he takes over from Terry Wogan in the New Year.
The BBC was celebrating Radio 4's highest audience in 10 years, with station insiders putting the success down to heightened interest in news and current affairs during the recession.
The station is now listened to by 10.22 million people every week - up from 10million last quarter
Its flagship current affairs show, the Today Programme now reaches more than 6.6 million listeners a week - up nearly half a million on last year.
BBC Five Live Sports Extra - a digital-only service -- also reached a record 963,000 listeners this Summer, buoyed by its ball-by- ball Ashes coverage.
Radio 3 also fared well, recording its highest reach for five years with listeners tuning it to Proms concerts.
A BBC Radio One spokeswoman said today: "Radio 1 has had another strong performance with over 11 million listeners for the third consecutive quarter, and our reach among our younger audiences is up too. Chris Moyles is up year on year - and still pulling in over 7 million listeners."

Stephie: The Coffee ShopMature
The door to the coffee shop swung open and Aimee walked in holding a single, red rose.
"Aimee! Over here!" I waved and nudged an empty arm chair in her direction. She wandered over, a distant expression across her face, and plonked herself into it. She sighed, threw the rose on the table and leaned back in her chair.
I picked up the rose, examining it. It was perfect in every way. No thorns were poking out the sides and the stem was an emerald green, completely flawless. My eyes wandered up to the petals. They hadn't begun to wilt or anything, the blood-like colour bright against the plain white table.
"So who gave you this?" I asked.
"I don't know" Aimee dropped her eyes to the table and picked up her coffee that had been brought over by one of the staff.
"Surely you have some idea of who it could be?"
"Well I have a few ideas but that's just it, anyone could have sent it"
"Have you made a list of names?"
"No I haven't! What is this? 21 questions?" thin lines began to appear on her forehead where she was becomming angry with herself, the person who sent the rose and with me.
"Sorry but this is so exciting! It never happens in real life!" I pulled my notebook out of my bag "Shall we make a list together then?"
We spent hours writing, crossing out and re-writing names. Aimee started off naming all the people she had been out with, then I named all the people I knew who fancied her. After that we crossed off people who didn't know where she lived and added a couple of extra people who did. It took a while but we managed to narrow the list down to 10.
"Excuse me ladies, I'm about to close up, would you mind leaving?" A husky male voice said from behing me. Aimee's eyes dropped to the floor. I recognized the voice so I turned to face the person who was talking. It was Leonardo, he was just older than us. He had long, curly blonde hair and big, baby-blue eyes.
"Err... yeah sure, come on Aimee, we don't want to out-stay our welcome" I grabbed her arm and dashed to the door, secretly passing her the list on the way.
"Wait!" Leonardo called after us "you forgot your rose! I turned to Aimee and she looked up to meet my gaze. Her eyes then flicked from the rose to me and back again.
"Oh yeah. Don't want to forget that" She mumbled. Aimee took the rose and left without another word.
"Sorry about her. She's a bit... down"
"Nah it's fine don't worry about it."
"See you again sometime"
"I'm sure I will" Leo shut the door behind him and locked it. I walked over to the bus stop and hopped on the first bus that would take me home.

Max Venable: They tinkered with him a little at Instructs and closed him up and widened him out – it was a little more of a bat angle to free him up so he could use his hands more.
This year they pitched him inside a lot and he handled the ball quite well. It was more of him being patient and hanging in there with the sliders and curveballs away while they pounded fastballs in. I think it was more bat angle and using his hands more.
Mike Baxter struggled to begin the year – the second year in a row he has – but turned it on down the stretch. What adjustments did you make with him?
Max Venable: It was soul searching with Baxter. He has all the ingredients to be a good player. It might be one of those things that he is a guy that starts off kind of slow. Some guys do that – start off slow and end strong. Baxter fits into that category.
As you go, you try and come up with some solution – 'got to get you off to a better start than you have in the past because we know at the end you are going to have a much better season.'
Guys tend to fall into certain categories. Whether you start off slow and end up strong or start strong and peter out at the end.
Craig Cooper hit for a good average but the expectations have to be higher with his power. How can you get him to pull the inside pitch more consistently and will he hit for more power?
Max Venable: He definitely has power the opposite way. It will help – pulling the ball you are apt to have more power. But there are guys who can hit the ball opposite way and have power. If you look at the stats, I am sure most home run hitters pull the ball. With Coop, being his second year of pro ball and like every other young kid coming up, once they learn the strike zone and learn to look for certain pitches the power will definitely come as the years go – maturity.
Seth Johnston quietly had a solid season. What does he need to do to take his game to the next level?
Max Venable: Hitting-wise – here is a kid that is starting to develop into a good hitter. I like Seth a lot. I think he is capable of hitting .300 every year. The power has come along.
As he is moving up in the next year, he has to find a position. He has played second base and was a shortstop in college. Because of his size and mobility, third is more suitable – and maybe in the outfield. My opinion – second or shortstop is not a position for him. I think he is capable of playing third or first or left field in the future. It might benefit him more. He is a big kid at 6-foot-4. With his frame he needs to get a little more agility to play that position.
Josh Alley was a shot in the arm for you guys down the stretch. What did he bring to the table?
Max Venable: He was phenomenal in the leadoff spot. He has an ideal leadoff guy mentality. He saw a lot of pitches, got a lot of walks, made contact. He was a sparkplug for our offense. He was on base, a threat to steal bases. When he was there you knew he was going to go 3-1 or 3-2, see some pitches and would put the ball in play, get on base, and give us a chance to get things started.
He spent a lot of time in the cage working on his game to get better, knowing the opportunity was there – he took full advantage of it and made the best of it.
He put together a really good season. I commend not only Josh but all those guys. They worked really hard and it paid off.
