text: Macquarie Infrastructure Company (NYSE: MIC) operating companies International-Matex Tank Terminals ("IMTT") and Atlantic Aviation have largely recovered from the effects of Hurricane Sandy. Both businesses report a substantial return to normal operations after the storm. IMTT reports that its bulk liquid storage facility at Bayonne, NJ is receiving and delivering substantially all products by all modes of transport. While permanent power has been restored to most of the facility, backup systems are in place and working in those parts of the facility still without permanent power. Atlantic Aviation's fixed base operations at airports in Teterboro, NJ, Farmingdale, L.I., and Bridgeport, CT, as well as its heliport on East 34th Street in New York City were damaged or disrupted by the hurricane. Each facility has been restored and normal operations have resumed. "The staff and management of our businesses pulled together to restore these operations with minimal impact on the financial performance of IMTT and Atlantic Aviation in 2012," said James Hooke, Chief Executive Officer of MIC. "We're grateful to them and to their families for their exceptional effort during this time." MIC expects its financial results for the fourth quarter to reflect approximately $2.3 million in payments of insurance deductibles and less than $5 million in total impact from the storm. About Macquarie Infrastructure Company Macquarie Infrastructure Company owns, operates and invests in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses providing basic, everyday services, to customers in the United States. Its businesses consist of three energy-related businesses including a gas production and distribution business (Hawaii Gas), a controlling interest in a district energy business (District Energy), and a 50% interest in a bulk liquid storage terminal business (International-Matex Tank Terminals).

25,000 Stars. A tribute to John Chillag | Ray Hodgson
John Chillag - a tribute to a survivor of the 'Hungarian Holocaust'
"Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he has saved the entire world."
Jerusalem Talmud, Sanhedrin 4:8 (37a)
In the summer of 1944 the fortunes of two Austrians overlapped in the sleepy climes of Hungary. More than five years later, both men were to sail off in opposite directions into the oceans of the southern hemisphere...
In the 1930s, as the gathering clouds of fascism darkened over Austria, the Csillag family moved eastwards to the comparative safety of Hungary at the other end of the obsolete Habsburg Empire. The family were Jews and John was a teenager whose formative years had a degree of affluence due to the success of the family construction business.
The second man, Adolph Eichmann, an Obersturmbannfuhrer in the SS (lieutenant-colonel), had special responsibilities for the transport of Jews to the Death Camps. Eichmann was present at the Wannsee Conference called by Heydreich in 1942, and was instrumental in realising the 'Final Solution' to the Jewish problem. He masterminded the mass exodus and subsequent extermination of millions of Jews and other 'sub-humans', including more than 400 000 Hungarian Jews. This ghastly enterprise earned him the title of 'Architect of the Holocaust'.
In May 1944, Eichmann's final solution was targeted on the Hungarian town of Gyor and, of course, John Csillag's family were brutally ghettoised and transported, in suffocating heat and stinking sanitary conditions to Hell itself, Auschwitz-Birkenau. As the cattle-trucks were emptied John, his uncle and his father were selected for slave labour. The other 30 or so of the family were murdered in the gas chambers and their bodies incinerated as the trio were shaved, showered and deloused with a stinging chemical. After a few weeks, John and his father, Jozsef, were transferred to Bochum to work in the foundry of an armaments factory. Six months later, John's father died of exhaustion brought on by 12/13 hour working days, pathetic rations and rampant disease and neglect. John's uncle had simply disappeared in Auschwitz. John eventually ended up in Buchenwald as the allies overran the Westphalian region; he stood over six feet but weighed only 25 kg (4 stone). Liberation by the US troops in April 1945 saved John's life that was hanging by a thread. Unable to stand, he was eventually nursed back to reasonable health.
As the war ended, Eichmann took advantage of the chaos and he was able to assume different identities to mask his complicity in the Final Solution. He was captured but fooled his interrogators and escaped whilst still unidentified. Only when other prisoners of the Third Reich were de-briefed did Eichmann's pivotal role in the Holocaust begin to emerge. Meanwhile, several SS officers helped Eichmann to elude his captors but he knew his eventual discovery was inevitable if he remained in Europe. Using the ODESSA society, he was able to secure a passage on a freighter bound for Argentina from Genoa in Italy. His Argentinean passport was given to him by a Franciscan priest. Bishop Alois Hudal, an apologist for the Nazis, and a thorn in the Pope Pius XII and the Vatican's side, provided the ratline and the wherewithal for top Nazis to escape. Among the escapees were Franz Stangl, Commandant of Treblinka, Edward Roschmann, 'Butcher of Riga' and most notorious of all, Adolph Eichmann whose new identity was that of Ricardo Klement. In Buenos Aires, Ricardo Klement held down several blue collar jobs and, in 1953, his wife and family joined him. However, after tip-offs to the West German government, the Israeli secret service, Mossad, kidnapped and transported him back to Israel to stand trial.
John Chillag as he returned to Gyor did not know his family had been brutally slaughtered. Quickly, he found out that they had perished in the gas chambers and he began to pick up the pieces of the family business. All was going well until the Communists were swept into power in 1949. No private enterprise was allowed and John decided to emigrate. He escaped to freedom and ended up in Australia where he met and married Audrey Banham who survives him along with their three children, Johnathan, Andrew and Wendy. John returned to the UK in 1962.
Adolph Eichmann was put on trial in Israel in 1961 and he was made to listen to the testimony of the survivors of the Holocaust. His plea of mitigation was chillingly shallow, blaming others and admitting only that he had sacrificed himself for the God of Obedience. Adolph Eichmann, even on the scaffold, remained impervious to the deep stain he had scoured into the human condition.
Eichmann was executed in 1962 and in this year John Chillag settled in the land where he to make his mark and change our society for the better. John was recruited by the British Council to work in their library as an archivist and later he worked for Leeds Metropolitan University. He was a volunteer for Mencap, working on an national and international stage, and is fondly remembered as a champion of disabled rights. He co-founded the Holocaust Survivors Friends Association that not only gave mutual support but allowed these men and women to tell their stories to a wider audience, including school children and university students. For many, these eye-witness accounts were education at its very highest level but also they were stories of hope, redemption and the beauty of the human soul. Time and again, John was asked why he was not filled with hatred and bitterness. He was able to reply that it was far more important to channel his energies into educating young people like themselves rather than fermenting hatred and malice in himself. In many schools and colleges visited by John, the pupils and their teachers were never quite the same again after listening to John's odyssey into Hell itself and his emergence as a 'Citizen of the World'. We were better people for knowing John.
On March 22nd of 2009, John died and in Hungarian the word Csillag means star. Perhaps some will say that John's star appears to have died with him, but we know that 25 000 other stars burn brightly, fuelled by the knowledge and understanding that John had passed on to them as he recalled the terrible events of the Hungarian Holocaust.

Sen. Paul Amendment Would Shift Funds From Foreign Aid To Bridge Repair
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Kentucky U.S. Senator Rand Paul is proposing an amendment to the budget that would cut back on the nation's foreign assistance in order to fund construction and repair of the country's bridges.
Echoing President Obama's warning in his State of the Union address about the nation's failing infrastructure, Sen. Paul is calling on the Senate to provide more funding to fix structures like the Brent Spence Bridge in Northern Kentucky.
"While we are trying to nation build across the globe, our nation is crumbling here at home," Paul says in a YouTube address.
To fund the projects, however, Paul is proposing a 50 percent cut in foreign aid – about $15B dollars –and an additional $1B cut from the Department of Energy's Loan Guarantee Budget.
"I, like many citizens of this country, [am] angered by a continued practice of borrowing money only to see it spent on infrastructure projects in foreign countries, in countries that are burning our flag and shouting 'Death to America,'" the senator says.
In Paul's plan, the $16B savings would be split evenly between bridge repair and deficit reduction. Students at UK's Gatton College of Business may have a chance to quiz the senator on the specifics of his plan next Wednesday when he's set to visit the college for a speech called "Restoring Economic Freedom."

EUROBASKET NEWS REPORT - 10/19/2007Copyright © 1997-2007 Eurobasket
Men News*****************************************************
The Manchester Millrats have announed the signing of combo guard John Huggins (6'2''-G-82, college: American Intern.). Huggins played for American International College in Springfield, MA; a divisional opponent of Southern New Hampshire Uuniversity in the New England-10 Conference.
In his senior year he reached double figures in scoring in 26 of the 27 games in which he appeared and scored at least 20 points on 17 occasions, including a season-high 30 points in a win at Saint Michaels. Huggins drained a school-record 83 three-pointers in 2005-06 and ranked among the NE-10 leaders in three-point field goals and free throw percentage (.817). Huggins had a string of 28 consecutive made free throws, one shy of the school record of 29.
Last season, Huggins played for Äanekosken in Huima, Finland where he posted averages of 19.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game.
In 2006, he led the Northeast-10 Conference in scoring with a 20.9 points-per-game average. Huggins was nominated as 2nd Team All Conference, 2nd Team All North-East, and 2nd Team All-NABC Northeast region. For his career, Huggins wound up as AIC's No. 4 all-time leading scorer with 1,786 points. He also made the second-most three-pointers in school history (235) and his 147 steals are good for sixth in school history. Huggins and Malik Moore, a former NE-10 Player of the Year, are the only two players in school history to rank in the top-10 in scoring, three-pointers and steals.
The addition of Huggins will make the Millrat's backcourt extremely hard to defend. Huggins, combined with versatile Charles Easterling and sharp shooting James Life, will make Marchester's backcourt talented, strong and flexible.
The virgin Islands national team player Kitwana Rhymer (208-C-78, agency: Paris Global Sports, college: Massachusetts) has joined Al-Ahli club for a 1 month tryout.
Kitwana participated recently in World Championship qualifiers for North America (Panamerican Games in Rio de Janeiro (BRA) -07: 5 games: 6.6ppg, 3.6rpg, 2FGP: 45.2%, 3PT: 0.0%)
The "Kit" is a Good shot blocker, solid in the post. Incumbent at center. Very athletic. Provides defense and energy in the middle. Runs the floor well for a big man.Solid player in the post.
He played for the last 2 seasons in China.
Dentalcon Apoel agreed terms with the American point guard Tyson Wheeler (183-G-75, college: Rhode Island) ex Le Mans player with experience in the Italian leagues too, the American guard Laurence Strokes (188-G-83) rookie in the European leagues and the well known Serbian Balca Radunovic (206-F/C-80) who just left from the Russian league.
AEK Athens agreed terms with William Avery (188-G-79, college: Duke) and Smiljan Pavic (210-F/C-80)
PAOK agreed terms with the American player with French passport Antoine Gillespie (194-G-76, college: UTEP) and the English player Steven Hansell (192-G-75, agency: Court Side, college: Illinois St.).
Egaleo agreed terms with the Greek-Cypriot guard Prodromos Nikolaidis (201-F-78).
Olimpiada Patras agreed terms with the Lithuanian power forward / center Tautvydas Lydeka (208-C/F-83)
Rethymno agreed terms with the American guard J.R. Pinnock (196-G-83, college: George Washington)
Panionios and Jerry Mcnamara will soon announced their "basketball divorce" the talented gaurd didn't satisfied with his abilities the Greek head coach Minas Gekos so it is expected (very soon) to announced his release, the Greek head coach will try to sign very soon another guard as the league starts in less than 48 hours.
C' Division
Ionikos Neas Filadelfeias dismiss head coach Alexis Pappas and hired coach Spyros Stathoulis to be the new head coach
EA Patras will announce very soon the dismissal of their head coach Giorgos Michaelides as they count a poor record of 0-3 in the first three weeks of the league. The announcement will take place within the next three- four days.

CSKA Moscow spurted in the opening quarter over CSK VVS-Samara not to worry about the rest of the game. After 31:13 the hosts led to 97:62 win. Alexei Savrasenko (215-C-79) and David Andersen (212-C-80) led the winners with 14 points each. Trajan Langdon (192-G-76, college: Duke) ended up with 13, while Lithuanian Ramunas Siskauskas (197-G-78) added 9. Yaniv Green (206-F-80, agency: Arik Krayn Services) ended up with 14 points in the losing effort. CSKA improved to 5-0, while Samara stay winless at 0-3.
Triumph looks very ambitious this season and celebrated already 4th straight win. Last night the team beat University-Ugra (Surgut) 88 : 72. Three excellent quarters were the main reason of the success. Even though the visitors won the last quarter 6:18 it did not upset the hosts at all. Sergei Toporov (197-F-81) paced the winners with 14 points. Terrell Lyday (190-G-79, college: BYU) added 11, while three other players ended up with 9. CHADNI Grey poured in 16 points in defeat as Urga has 0-2 record. Triumph follows CSKA and stays second with 4-0.
CSKA (Moscow) - CSK VVS-Samara (Samara) 97 : 62 (31:13, 24:16, 14:20, 28:13)
CSKA: Alexei Savrasenko 14+8 rebs, David Andersen 14, Trajan Langdon 13, Ramunas Siskauskas 9
VVS-Samara: Yaniv Green 14, Alex Scales (192-G-78, college: Oregon) 14
Triumph - University-Ugra (Surgut) 88 : 72 (24:18, 34:19, 24:17, 6:18)

Publication Acceptance Date: 8/1/2002

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Excessive vegetative growth is a major problem for many apple (Malus x domestica) orchards in the United States. The plant growth regulator prohexadione-calcium (Phd-Ca) (Apogee), a gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor, reduces shoot growth when applied to apple trees. Beginning at petal fall (PF) to 10 days after PF a single spray or multiple low-dose sprays reduced shoot extension growth by 20% to 70%. Timing of the initial spray was more important than rate of application for significant early growth suppression. The degree of growth suppression following foliar sprays of Phd-Ca differed among cultivars. By reducing vegetative growth Phd-Ca reduced pruning time in mature apple trees, enhanced spray penetration to the center of the tree canopy, reduced aphid populations and reduced the incidence of the shoot blight stage of fire blight. When Phd-Ca was used to control growth in 'Stayman' apple trees, fruit cracking increased. When Phd-Ca was mixed and applied with a calcium chloride spray, the growth cotrol activity of the Phd-Ca was reduced.

Aaron Mayes/Las Vegas Sun
Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2002 | 2 a.m.
While discussing the United States' vast influence, young Southern Nevadans had to confront whether America's ideals are best for the world and if Americans are too arrogant for other nations to trust our sincerity and goodwill.
"Some of the students here are really open-minded, but others believe America is the best country — and maybe it is — and that its values are the best for all people," said Jalmar Pfeifer, a foreign exchange student from the Netherlands who attends Chaparral High.
"America tries to impress the rest of the world. But when it makes other people feel that their country is not as good, that upsets people and they hate Americans for it."
Pfeifer was one of about 1,000 students from 30 Southern Nevada high schools who participated Tuesday in the 47th annual Sun Youth Forum at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
During a debate over world issues, he upset some of the members of his group by using the word "arrogant" to describe some Americans.
Pfeifer said Americans should be cognizant that other people — even those from nations that support the United States — do not believe the United States should impose its values on other countries or cultures.
He also said America should be cautious about starting a war with Iraq because it will not get the same support from Europe that it got in 1990 to help kick Saddam Hussein's invading army out of Kuwait.
"If the United States attacks Iraq, Saddam Hussein will be made to look like a hero in the Arab world," Pfeifer said during the lunch break between the two two-hour sessions of debate.
"You are fighting a war on terrorism against an enemy that is not there. You cannot see the enemy because the enemy can be anywhere. It can be me. It can be you. It can be anyone.
"The only way to defeat terrorism is not to show that you are the most powerful country on earth, but to make your country the most beloved country on earth," Pfeifer said.
But Pfeifer and others wonder how the United States can do that.
"There are untold axes to grind and we have to stop it," said Nicholas Grainger, a junior at Chaparral High. "We have to look at it with human eyes toward human rights, not imposing American ideals."
Several students said one major hurdle toward acceptance of U.S goodwill is that parents in some Middle East nations teach their children early on to hate the United States and Israel, and that being a suicide bomber is heroic.
A number of students supported English as the national language despite so much ethnic diversity.
"If we go to Italy or France they will not cater to our needs — we have to learn their language," said Jordan Young of Silverado High. "English is the implied national language" of the United States.
But Joseph Walker, a Foothill High senior, said many Americans do feel the world should cater to us.
"That's why a lot of Europeans think Americans are stuck up," he said. "A lot of Americans go to other countries and expect the people there to speak our language."
Education was another motivating issue among the teens.
"The law allows parents to sign their children out of school at age 16, often because of the kids' inability to pass the efficiency exam," said Kirsten Garlock of Green Valley High School.
"We should do more to keep them in school until they pass that test because many of the skills on the exam are skills you will need for life. We need to do more to have an educated society."
Z Anderson, a senior at Trinity, says we need to find a way to get more colleges in Nevada so students have more choices.
"There are only two schools here — We're not selling the schools short but selling our choices short," he said.
Tessa Jones, a Community College High School senior, said: "If they can spend billions of dollars on homeland security and those types of things, they can build more schools."
The students were divided into 21 groups and their debates focused on seven general topics: America, Nevada, world issues, law and crime, school days, teen issues and potpourri. But the subjects covered a wide range of subjects including alcohol use, sex education and school dress codes.
Late Sun Publisher Hank Greenspun co-founded the Sun Youth Forum with Ruthe Deskin, assistant to the publisher. Among this year's moderators were Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., Sun Editor and President Brian Greenspun, U.S. District Judge Philip Pro and former Sen. Richard Bryan.
Prior to the forum, Sun Vice President and columnist Sandy Thompson, the longtime director of the Sun Youth Forum who was killed in an Aug. 9 auto accident, was remembered in a brief ceremony.
The students selected representatives from each group who either will write a column for the Sun or for CLASS!, a nonprofit monthly periodical for, by and about students, or appear on a roundtable discussion on UNLV cable television Channel 70.

|lkcd-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, kdb@xxxxxxxxxxx
Hello Keith, I am not familiar with IA64, so what I say may only apply to IA32. As far as I can tell, in kdb v4.0, you call kdb_save_running() / kdb_unsave_running() around kdb_main_loop() in kdba_main_loop(). We will execute kdba_main_loop() on all processors only if the KDB IPI (NMI class) to stop other processors works. Current lkcd does something similiar: it sends an NMI class IPI to capture register state of other processors. I agree that timing out the IPI is a bug (I thought I removed it, may be never submitted the patch for inclusion), but this method will capture the state of all CPUs as long as the IPI goes to all CPUs. So, how is the push model any better, when the push itself relies on the IPI to be delivered and handled on all cpus? Did I miss something? Can you please explain? --Vamsi Vamsi Krishna S.

Obviously I would like to feed this back to lkcd for inclusion eventually. You may have seen my announcement on l-k[1] about kdb v4.0, where the big change is converting from a "pull the other cpus into kdb" model to a "push this cpu's state to a known place" model. Although that announcement was only for kdb, I will be changing lkcd in SGI kernels to use a push instead of a pull mode. [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=104787987626450&w=2 The pull model works as long as inter processor interrupts (IPI) are working and the other cpus are responding to interrupts. It fails badly when cpus are hung and are not responding to interrupts, of course this is precisely the case when you want debug data. lkcd 2.4 hangs solid if any one cpu is not responding. lkcd 2.5 will time out the hung cpus and continue, with two nasty side effects :- (1) You get no data for the hung cpus, which makes the crash dump almost useless. (2) The timeout code can result in corrupt IPI data, especially when lkcd releases the other cpus at the end of the dump. I have seen several oops at the end of dumping as handle_IPI() is allowed to proceed but its data no longer exists (it was deleted during the time out). kdb v4.1 (maybe v4.2) will attempt to get the attention of the other cpus via a graduated set of probes. The pseudo code is :- if (safe_to_send_interrupts) { send_kdb_ipi(normal_interrupt); if (!all_cpus_in_kdb && arch_supports_nmi) send_kdb_ipi(nmi); if (!all_cpus_in_kdb && arch_supports_pmi) send_kdb_ipi(pmi); } if (!all_cpus_in_kdb) kdb_enter_debugger = 1; // trip spin_locks and scheduler into kdb if (!all_cpus_in_kdb && arch_supports_init && (user_requested_destructive_ipi || destructive_kernel_error_detected)) send_kdb_ipi(init); if (!all_cpus_in_kdb) kdb_printf("not all cpus entered the debugger"); pmi and init are ia64 specific interrupts, even harder to mask than nmi. A big problem with ia64 is that nmi is masked :( An even bigger problem is the ia64 that MCA and INIT interrupts have mandated requirements which can prevent the OS from getting full control. A pull model requires that the OS be in control on each cpu, a push model lets each cpu save its state before the OS surrenders control. The next part of the kdb patch is changing the ia64 spinlock model to be faster in the uncontended path with a single bit of out of line code to handle the contended path. Debuggers like kdb can enhance the out of line code to detect hung spin locks or kdb_enter_debugger == 1 and enter the debugger, even when interrupts are disabled. Obviously the data that kdb captures is generic debugging data and can be used to get the state of each cpu for any debugging tool, not just kdb. Once I finish the spinlock and init slave handlers on ia64 and implement the above pseudo code, I will hook lkcd into the data that kdb has already captured. This will go a long way to improving the reliablity of both kdb and lkcd, to the extent that lkcd should be usable from anywhere, including panic, oops, interrupt context, nmi, pmi, init etc. Have a look at the kdb patches in [1] above. Think about what additional data lkcd needs, if any. kdb v4.0 already captures all application registers at the time of error from most cpus, v4.[12] will reduce the window of lost cpus to almost zero. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Does your code think in ink?

NBN Co director
"The previous regime [Labor government] did their best to try and get premises passed and didn't do anything about connecting the premises that were passed.
"The operating guys in NBN have now gone back to do those connections and that has slowed things down a bit.
"The end is in sight with that and the roll out of the number of premises actually being activated, which is the right number to look at, is climbing very steadily by each month. I'm confident that we'll meet our targets."
Ms Schott was one of only two directors that remained on the board of the government-owned NBN after the Abbott government took office last year.
The former Labor government has been criticised by former NBN board directors Brad Orgill and Diane Smith-Gander; the latter is now
Ms Smith-Gander was critical of then Labor Communications Minister
Mr Orgill was critical of the NBN's politicisation under Labor and also now the Abbott government.
Earlier this month, The Australian Financial Review revealed that more than 118,338 premises counted as covered by the NBN needed millions of dollars of repairs.
Sources close to NBN Co had estimated it would cost more than $100 million to fix the buildings already passed, including up to $40 million in extra fees to contractors.
NBN Co will use an updated corporate plan to set out a budget and targets to reduce the number of homes which need repairs.
Ms Schott said the NBN was a good case study in setting the right targets.
"When the previous government embarked on the NBN project, which I think is a terrific project, they made a mistake of specifying the technology rather than level of service they wanted for people.
"If they had specified the minimum level of service, like 50mbps per second or something, it then would have left the tech heads to solve the problem of the best way of doing that. But because it was specified to be fibre everywhere, except where you couldn't, it then became quite a challenge in particular areas."

Thanks in Advance, Medical Science
Earlier this year we presented our efforts for the Ryan Montbleau solo tour poster. Now we offer this companiion piece, a CD of songs from that very tour, designed and illustrated by Jon Adams. Many of you may say, "I don't care about this, because whoever Ryan Montbleau is, he most certainly isn't Janet Jackson." And that's true. But with amazing advances in medical science and an increasing drive for people to be famous, there's every chance Ryan will physically become Janet Jackson. Anyway, let's quick this bickering. You can buy future Janet Jackson's CD here if you'd like.

I saw a similar question posted in a thread from a couple of years ago, but there was never any resolution to the problem. I'm hoping for a little more success this time.
I understand tare weights as well as the often misunderstood "larger packages" setting & multiple boxes per shipment.
As I have it now, the tare weight applies one uniform weight adjustment to all orders. I'm wanting to get a little more sophisticated than that - to get the shipping rates dialed in more accurately.
Neither the uniform percentage nor the added weight really works in an ideal manner for me.
What I would like:
The ability to apply one tare to orders below a certain weight threshold and a different tare to orders above that threshold.
For example:
I would like all orders with a weight below 1.5 lbs to get a 3oz tare. All orders above 1.5 lbs should get a 9oz tare.
(The larger packages setting does not do this.)
I am not shy about messing around with the code if anyone has any good ideas for this.
Thanks so much.
The Tare is added in the shipping class in the function calculate_boxes_weight_and_tare() ...
You can alter the amount being used for this calculation in there ...
Thank you Ajeh.
What I came up with is crude, but it works for me.
If anyone else was interested in this, all I did was hardcode the tare rules into the calculation. After tweaking it for a while, I wanted all orders with a weight less than 1.75 lbs to use a 0.375 lb tare weight. Everything else will get a 0.57 lb tare weight.
The file we're looking for is: /includes/classes/shipping.php.
Find code:Replace with:
switch (true) {
// large box add padding
case(SHIPPING_MAX_WEIGHT <= $shipping_weight):
$shipping_weight = $shipping_weight + ($shipping_weight*($zc_large_percent/100)) + $zc_large_weight;
// add tare weight < large
$shipping_weight = $shipping_weight + ($shipping_weight*($zc_tare_percent/100)) + $zc_tare_weight;
}A nice thing about the original code is that it uses the switch statement. If needed you can add more tare weights and rules by copying the first one. Adding more "case" sections can allow for many more rules to be set up.
switch (true) {
// 1st Tare Rule
case($shipping_weight <= 1.75):
$shipping_weight = $shipping_weight + 0.375;
// All Other Tare Weight
$shipping_weight = $shipping_weight + 0.57;
Thanks for the update that you were able to solve this and for posting the changes that worked for you in order to help others ...

Papa John's (PZZA[1]) — official sponsors of the National Football League — is starting off the football season with free pizza giveaways.
Nation's Restaurant News reports that the company[2] is extending a promotion that will give its loyalty club members free pizza and it runs until Sept. 15. Customers who order $15 or more worth of food at Papa John's can use the promo code "TOUCHDOWN" on the company's website to get 25 reward points which can later be used for a free large pizza.
The founder and chief executive of Papa John's said that they are excited to offer free pizza to its current and new loyalty club members. Sept. 15 marks the second Sunday of NFL action and those who sign up sometime before that date can still get the promotion.
Papa John's isn't the only food chain with a promotion in early September — Chick-Fil-A is offering a free breakfast promotion[3] starting Sept. 9.

Creamy Dreamy Rice Pudding (Non-Dairy)
Recipe by Meringue
This is an adaptation of my grandmother's rice pudding which I fondly remember. It is non-dairy and naturally sweetened, for my darling husband. It is a creamy dreamy warm after school treat on a cold winter day. A big favourite in my house, I know you'll love it as much as we do. Try flavoured soy beverages for a taste variation, just cut back or omit the maple syrup, vanilla and spices as required.
Top Review by LonghornMama
Yummy and creamy! Also happens to be healthy and vegan! Used vanilla soy milk and Grade B maple syrup and didn't find it overly sweet. Too much nutmeg for me, next time I would omit, but that's just a personal preference. Arborio is so well-suited to rice pudding, it adds a lovely creaminess. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for PAC Fall 2007.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup arborio rice (short grain Italian rice)
- 1 1⁄2 cups water
- 3 cups unsweetened soymilk (beverage)
- 1⁄4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (use a bean if you've got it)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh nutmeg
Directions See How It's Made
- Boil the water and rice together on medium heat until the rice releases its starch and becomes creamy.
- Add 1 cup soy milk and the maple syrup. Simmer, stirring frequently until most of the soy milk is absorbed, and the rice is bubbly and thick (about 7 minutes).
- Add second and third cups of soy milk in the same manner as the first, continuing to stir frequently.
- When the pudding has reached the desired creaminess (about 5 minutes following last soy milk addition), remove from heat and add the vanilla and spices.
- Ladle into serving bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon.
- The pudding may be eaten warm or cold, and will firm up a little as it cools.
- Store covered in the refrigerator up to two days, if it lasts that long.
- Enjoy!

Google Hollywood, get D.C. party?
WASHINGTON – Google and The Hollywood Reporter teamed up for their first White House Correspondents' Dinner party Friday with the goal of "merging digital and Hollywood."
Celebrities, high-ranking government officials and media big shots packed the lower level of the W hotel making it difficult to move through the crowded room without disrupting conversations between news anchors and TV stars.
Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Sofia Vergara and Eric Stonestreet mingled at the event. Ferguson sat with boyfriend Justin Mikita in one of the many side lounges set up for those seeking a break from the main room.
When asked what he was working on Portlandia's Kyle MacLachlan laughed "Oh, building a fence - just kidding."
MacLachlan says he is busy with a pilot for CBS called Baby Big Shot. "It's about a Jersey Girl who goes to Manhattan to work at a law firm," he says.
California Governor Jerry Brown posed for a picture with Arianna Huffington, founder of Huffington Post.
Also in attendance: Glee's Matthew Morrison, Piers Morgan, Hunger Games' Woody Harrelson, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Gossip Girl actor Chace Crawford, Colin Powell, BET founder Robert L.

Neon lights lined the walls of the main hall which was furnished with modern black furniture and bright accents. Google spokeswoman Sam Smith said the company picked the space because it was easy to manipulate. "We just hope everyone checks out and uses all of the cool features."
Just outside of the main hall were lounges, hidden bars and the biggest hit - the photo booth.
The night wrapped up with the small crowd left in the room screaming along to Don't Stop Believin' by Journey. No gift bags at this event, but party-goers were handed an issue of The Hollywood Reporter on the way out.

....then you may also like Star Wars: A Clone Apart. A Clone Apart is a Star Wars fan made machinima mini series made using the Battlefront II engine. However, the guys behind it got sued by Viacom and had to stop production with only 3 episodes being released. A 4th episode was set to be released in 2007, but as of today there has been no confirmation on the status of the series.
The the first 3 episodes of the series are very funny and really well made. It's a shame they had to stop before they were able to finish it. Hope you guys enjoy it.
Hopefully with enough fan response they will go back and finish making more episodes.

The NSA's Big Brother Program
A startling report from The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) recently revealed details on what appears to be a domestic-spying program that was banned by Congress in 2003 known as the 'Total Information Awareness' (TIA) program.
As noted by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Orwellian program was shut down by Congress because it represented a massive and unjustified governmental intrusion into the personal lives of citizens.
Despite the fact that Congress shut down the program, security agencies under the Bush administration pushed ahead anyway. The National Security Agency (NSA) has been engaging in broad-based data-mining that violates the privacy of every American for several years.
A Mammoth Data-Mining Program
The TIA was involved programming computers to trawl through an extensive list of databases containing personal information about Americans -- including communications, medical, travel, education and financial data -- in an attempt to detect supposedly "suspicious" patterns.
Congress shut down the program due to objections that it was the most far-reaching domestic surveillance program ever offered.
Barry Steinhardt, Director of the ACLU's Technology and Liberty Project, said "year after year, we have warned that our great nation is turning into a surveillance society where our every move is tracked and monitored. Now we have before us a program that appears to do that very thing. It brings together numerous programs and it confirms what the ACLU has been saying the NSA is up to: mass surveillance of Americans."
The WSJ report says the NSA was engaging in broad domestic spying operations that involve collecting and analyzing the personal information of Americans in ways that are "essentially the same" as the TIA program.
Elements that reportedly make up the new spying include:
- TIA and other data-mining programs.
- The NSA's illegal wiretapping program, the so-called Terrorist Surveillance Program (TSP).
- The Patriot Act's broadening of FBI power to collect third-party personal information without a subpoena through Section 215 searches and National Security Letters.
- The Treasury Department's expanded surveillance of financial transactions through Cash Transaction Reporting and Suspicious Activity Reporting.
- The CIA's illegitimate access to the SWIFT database to monitor international financial transactions.
- DHS's efforts to increase monitoring of airline passenger data.
- Partnerships between these government agencies and private sector entities to collect and monitor customers' data and transactions.
- The erosion of privacy through the judicial creation of a distinction between content and "transactional data" (such as the recipients of emails or phone calls and the times and dates of each communication) through the Patriot Act and prior developments.
A 2006 report from the ACLU titled "Eavesdropping 101" warns that the NSA was carrying out broader data dragnets that violated the privacy of millions of Americans. More information about the NSA spying from the ACLU can be found from here and more information about TIA can be found here.
When the NSA was conceived, it was designed to spy on foreign governments, not Americans. Consequences of the privacy and rights violations from an out-of-control presidential administration with no oversight can have profound effects, given the fact that the government can and will do whatever it decides it wants to and use the data any way they see fit.
A few times in the past I've written about and questioned the NSA's involvement in the development of Microsoft Windows. More information about the illicit activities of the NSA and the Bush administration can also be found in my blog.

A reader who wishes to remain anonymous is concerned about a very scary looking website. I attempt to calm the waters.
I used Yahoo to search for something and was sent immediately to the following [redacted] site. I believe my Mac was invaded and don't know what to do!
First, relax. Your Mac wasn't invaded, infected, compromised, co-opted, or conquered. If you'd clicked through a few of those dire pop-up warnings you might have been as amused as I was to see a phony Windows Security Alert appear on a Macintosh. What you've encountered is termed "scareware"--a scam that attempts to frighten those confronted with these pages into downloading a hunk of software that will allegedly deal with the problem.
The chain of events goes like this: A perfectly legitimate URL is hijacked by the scammers and you're redirected to the scareware page. That page is designed in such a way that several dialog boxes pop-up, warning you that your computer is infected. Click Cancel and you'll just get more warnings and an interface that makes it appear like your computer is being scanned. If you fall for the trick and click the buttons necessary to download the offered antivirus software, you'll pay for a product that is likely a hunk of malware (and I hate to think what happens to your credit card information). This malware is bad for Windows PCs but has no effect on Macs.
Regrettably, these pages are sometimes difficult to dismiss because the constant pop-up warnings prevent you from leaving. Clicking OK may get rid of the pop-ups so that you can close the window or tab (and no, doing so won't automatically download the software to your Mac), but I faced a situation with my wife's Mac (who was just concerned as you were) where I had to force-quit Safari to get away from the scareware page.
You can take some comfort in knowing that the search engine folks do their best to weed out this junk and that those who promote it have been--and will continue to be--prosecuted for engaging in such malicious and scammy activities.
This story, "No, You're Not Infected" was originally published by Macworld.

Lawmakers and experts from Japan and France on Thursday discussed measures to help more and more women play active roles in society.
In the debate, held at the National Assembly, the lower chamber of France's parliament, in Paris, seven participants, including former Environment Minister Yuriko Koike, exchanged views on factors that prohibit women from actively engaging society and how to break the barriers.
It was reported that 26 percent of lawmakers in France are women, while the proportion of women among members of the Diet stands at only 9 percent.
Koike said Japan is lagging 10 years behind France, calling on Japanese political parties to increase female candidates in parliamentary elections with a strong will.
Meanwhile, a French participant noted that most key posts in the French parliament are still held by men although the number of female lawmakers has increased.
The debate was hosted by groups including a Japanese parliamentarians' league promoting friendship with France, for which Koike serves as acting chair.
Among the participants other than Koike were Chikako Sekine, an official at major Japanese cosmetics maker Shiseido Co. , Pascale Got, chair of a French parliamentarians' league for friendship with Japan, and Pascale Boistard, French minister of state for women's rights.

The Student Affairs Committee would like to recommend that the University policy regarding course withdrawal and incomplete grades for students on academic probation be reviewed and amended.
The current policy, which has been in effect since 1983, is:
Grades of I or W are not permitted during probation. Failure to meet these conditions may result in suspension or dismissal. (1995-97 General and Graduate Information Catalog, p. 43)
The withdrawal policy for probationary students was changed in the 1983-85 General Information Catalog. Previous to 1983, there were no restrictions on withdrawal and incomplete grades for students on academic probation.
The current policy places students who are already at high risk for suspension and dismissal into an even higher risk category. There are valid reasons for all students to withdraw or receive an incomplete grade in a class (with instructor and college approval). Most students carefully consider their options and the decision to withdraw from a class is not made lightly. In fact, the decision to withdraw is often supported by the instructor. Incomplete grades are sometimes given without consultation or consideration of the student's probationary status, resulting in suspension or dismissal of the student.
The Student Affairs Committee feels that there should be one policy on course withdrawals and incomplete grades for all students, regardless of their academic standing. The current policy appears to be punitive in nature and does not serve the best interests of the student of the University. The Student Affairs Committee recommends that the probation policy be changed, eliminating the restriction on course withdrawals and incomplete grades for probationary students.

The Post-Breakup Social Media Survival Guide
Who can resist the urge to look at their ex's Facebook page? Admit it. It calls your name and whispers, "Check me out!" No harm, right?
An astute researcher in England begs to differ. A recent study concluded that the more time you spend on your ex's Facebook page, the more psychological distress you experience, the greater your desire for your ex and the more difficulty you have moving on.
Admit it. You are not really surprised. That's because most of us realize that the toxic connections we have with our exes are stoked by talking about, thinking about and looking at stuff about them. While lurking on their Facebook page may not morph itself into stalking, it's just not healthy. Read more…

Ted Simons: A group of highway safety advocates has released the road map of state highway and safety laws, and Arizona was ranked among the worst for occupant protection and distracted driving. Joining us so Linda Gorman of AAA Arizona. Good to see you. Who did this study and what were they looking at?
Linda Gorman: It's a consumer group. The advocate for auto highway, or highway and auto safety, so they look at this every year, and they rank the states based on red, yellow, or green, and 11 states, including Arizona, ranked red. And it really has to do with traffic safety laws, so, there are a lot of opportunities for, for improvement, however, we have made a lot of great strides in the past few years, too, so we don't want to discount the strides that we have made.
Ted Simons: We don't want to discount it but I looked at the report, and the map, and there is Arizona bright red down there in the corner, and we're surrounded by a bunch of states that aren't bright red. What are they doing that we're not doing?
Ted Simons: Well, the report included a lot of different recommendations for improvement, but, what they really focused on, the bigger issues are primary seat belt laws, so what we have in Arizona is a secondary seat belt law, what that means is that, is that you cannot be pulled over or cited for not wearing a seat belt. Whereas if you have driven through California you know that as soon as you cross the line you can be pulled over for not wearing a seat belt alone, and so we know that seat belts save lives, and primary laws in Arizona alone could have saved 66 lives last year.
Ted Simons: It sounds like, according to the report, teenage driving, big factor there, as well, we don't seem to be doing as well as others. Why?
Linda Gorman: Teenage driving is another big issue that, that graduated driver's licensing is something that AAA lobbied for, for, since the early 90's, and we did make some, some modest improvements in 2007, but we need to do more. So, a couple, three areas that we can look at in terms of the strengthening of the law, one would be night-time restrictions, second passenger limitations, and the third is wireless use. So, those are the three areas. If you look at night-time restriction, and it makes sense because teens do best when they learn how to drive in steps. And they do it during daylight hours, and we have a midnight to 5 a.m. restriction, if we bump that an hour we could save more lives.
Ted Simons: And one more area of concern is distracted driving. We're not doing too well. Explain.
Linda Gorman: We don't have a statewide ban recognizing that but what this report looked at, is that we need to remove distractions from novice drivers, and these drivers, the foundation for traffic safety has shown that these drivers have cell phones, and they are three to five times more likely to be involved in a crash if they use the wireless phone, texting or even talking on the phone, so we recommend a ban that would prohibit the drivers for the permitted period, and the first six months of unsupervised driving from using the phone at all.
Ted Simons: It's interesting. We need to get to the positives. Child passenger safety. Impaired driving. Arizona did pretty well.
Linda Gorman: Yes, and I am so glad you brought that up. It's not all bad. We have made great progress in terms of the strengthening the child passenger safety law, and added booster seat protection, and a very, very stiff ignition interlock policy to prevent drunk driving, so, there is, there are some private spots, so we should not overlook those. However, we should not ignore needed improvements.
Ted Simons: So what do you think that we need to take from this report?
Linda Gorman: Well, there are very modest changes that we can make immediately that would save lives. So, I mentioned the wireless ban for new teen drivers, and there is a bill being introduced this session, and house bill sponsored by representative sand, that would do just that, ban wireless devices for, for the permit period and the first six months where a teen has his unsupervised driver's license. That would allow teens to, to learn how to drive in an environment free from, free from distractions.
Ted Simons: And other -- it looks like maybe an all rider motorcycle helmet law.
Linda Gorman: That was included in the report, which makes sense. Arizona has seen a spike in not only motorcycle registrations but also motorcycle deaths since 2010. It's common sense knowing if you wear a motorcycle, you are less likely to become seriously injured or die.
Ted Simons: Last question, working with the legislature, seeing what, what they are interested in and not, are these -- do these ideas have traction down there?
Linda Gorman: Well, I do think, if you look -- you cannot say that, that -- I don't think it's fair the legislators don't have interest in safety because I think that, that they do, and as you pointed out, so I think that there is some interest, but, things like the, the GDL bill, banning wireless usage, I think, is something palatable and has good support.
Ted Simons: All right. Linda, good to see you and thanks for joining us.
Linda Gorman: Thank you.

Michael Schonbrun, Balfour's Founder and CEO, founded Balfour in 1997 after learning about the senior living industry through his personal experiences shopping for a retirement for his recently widowed mother. He sees Balfour's mission as offering a high quality continuum of care offering independent and assisted living and memory care programs in a rental (non-buy-in) setting. Schonbrun's vision for Balfour is to be "the most admired senior housing company in America."
