Personal information:
I'm kind of new to the forum, so I thought I would eliminate a few questions by telling you a little about me. My name is Marty Schiff and I live just outside of Nashville. I play guitar for Martina McBride and have been with her for close to 18 years now (side note.....that's my sister). I have been collecting guitars all of my life, but got real serious about it about 2004 when John (Martina's husband) ask me to help him find some really great guitars for the studio that he was building. I told him that I would help, but I had to be a partner.....Well, things got a little out of hand....I went crazy buying great, original guitars. Now we have a multi-million dollar collection. We are very proud of the collection. Many of our guitars have been used on recordings...and the one that I bragg the most on is Keith Urban's Stupid Boy....that was my 1949 Southern Jumbo. Anyway, please feel free to ask any questions or ask for any references. Here are the pictures of the guitar. If you need any other pictures, please let me know........beautiful guitar.

Last month technicians from GCHQ, the UK electronic surveillance agency, stood over journalists from The Guardian newspaper to make sure that they destroyed a computer containing files leaked to them by Edward Snowden, the former contractor to the US National Security Agency. This week the British police abused anti-terror legislation to detain David Miranda, the partner of Glenn Greenwald, a Guardian journalist, and seize his files. Coming up next: officials from the NSA and GCHQ bang their heads against a brick wall in frustration at having allowed Mr Snowden to abscond with their secrets. It would be as effective, and legal.
Spend one-and-a-half days at a Founders Forum event and it's impossible not to get infected by the techie-enthusiast bug. The day after last week's big get-together I found myself beginning a Bob the Builder story with my two-year-old: "It was a busy time in Silicon Valley."*
The Financial Times is media partner with the event, and this year sponsored two prizes. Founder of the year was won by Ilkka Paananen, chief executive and co-founder of Supercell, the Finnish gaming company behind Clash of the Clans and Hay Day, while Eben Upton, founder of Raspberry Pi, the credit card-sized microcomputer, was awarded the One to Watch prize.

Everybody loves a conspiracy – provided they are part of it. That is the lesson of the outbreak of outrage in the UK last week, when the "secret world government" that attends the Bilderberg meetings landed on the front lawn of middle England.
Google's stance against the European Commission on the subject of privacy – rolling out its new policy for sharing personal data among its sites despite warnings that it may breach European law – strikes me as foolhardy.
US companies that get into a tangle with the EU, often egged on by US supporters who believe that European regulators are over-reaching their powers, tend to come off worse from the struggle. The prime example was Microsoft in its anti-trust battle during the mid-2000s.
The pattern is in danger of being repeated, with supporters of internet freedoms such as Jeff Jarvis of City University of New York criticising the EU action and arguing that it is part of a pattern of government attempts at misguided regulation. Read more
A privacy storm has blown up over the revelation (if that is the right word) that iPhones and 3G iPads keeps data on the movements of their owners, which is backed up to personal computers when the devices are synchronised.
Al Franken, the Minnesota senator, has already complained about this fact, pointing out that:
"Anyone who gains access to this single file could likely determine the location of the user's home, the businesses he frequents, the doctors he visits, the schools his children attend and the trips he has taken over the past months or even a year."
Two researchers announced their findings on iPhone tracking data at a conference on Wednesday, only to be criticised by another one on the grounds that they were not saying anything new.
The news that Facebook, MySpace and other social networking sites have been (unintentionally) sending some user details to advertisers adds to my growing sense that the companies either do not place a high enough value on privacy or are not careful enough about it.
It follows Google's disclosure that it accidentally picked up personal information from WiFi networks while filming for its Street View service. Read more

Five Bali patients in critical condition
Page Tools
Injured patients were Sunday being prepared for evacuation from Sanglah hispital in Denpasar.
Photo: Wade Laube
Were you in Bali at the time of the latest explosions? The Age would like to hear from you. Email us your stories, pictures and videos of the blasts at email@example.com
More than 20 tourists injured in the deadly Bali blasts are being treated at Royal Darwin Hospital, Northern Territory police have confirmed.
Two defence Hercules aircraft flew into Darwin from Bali early today, carrying critical and serious patients, other injured Australians and their families.
NT police, fire and emergency services said 22 people,
19 Australians, two Japanese and one Indonesian, were being treated at the hospital.
Of the 11 men and 11 women being treated, 12 were stretcher patients, five of whom were in critical but stable condition.
"One patient will be transferred to the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney for further treatment later today," NT police said in a statement today.
The remaining 10 were walking wounded.
The Bali explosions killed at least 27 people and wounded more than 120.
Two Australians 16-year-old Brendan Fitzgerald, from Busselton in Western Australia, and 48-year-old Jennifer Williamson, a mother from Newcastle in NSW have been identified as being among the dead.
In addition to the two Australians named, the government believes a Newcastle couple Fiona and Colin Zwolinski, a mining company executive are also among the dead.
The NT Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), which inacted a coordinated emergency response to the blasts, would remain on alert until Wednesday, the statement said.
"At this point it is planned that the EOC will continue to function for the next couple of days," it said.
"Police and welfare staff will continue to meet flights arriving in Darwin in a bid to gather all possible information that may assist in investigations into the bombing and to provide support for passengers."
Darwin Hospital general surgeon John Treacy earlier said five of the victims had life-threatening injuries.
"All patients will need to go to surgery, although five patients we are quite concerned about," Dr Treacy said.
"Of the patients who we are concerned about, two of them have abdominal and bowel injuries, there is one person with serious eye injuries and all of the patients have suffered shrapnel injuries."
Neurosurgeon Teresa Withers, who was rushed to Darwin from Queensland yesterday, said the casualties had a "multitude of injuries", predominantly chest and abdomen injuries.
Darwin Hospital general manager Len Notaras said the injuries were from "horrific" bomb blasts, involving ball bearings, glass, metal pieces and nails.
"They are very consistent with war injuries, the type of injuries you might expect in a war situation or indeed in an industrial explosion situation," he said.
"Humanity is one of the great issues how one person can actually do this to another person and do it deliberately.
"It's a horrendous event and an intolerable event.
"How on earth it could actually be perpetrated is beyond me."
Critically-injured Australians evacuated to
Bruce Williamson, 50, of Newcastle, husband of Jennifer Williamson who died in the blast, suffering shrapnel-related injuries;
Paul John Anicich, 58, of Newcastle, suffering internal bleeding, chest and abdominal injuries;
Penelope Gladys Anicich, 58, of Newcastle, wife of Paul, suffering serious abdominal injuries;
Terry Fitzgerald, 40, originally from Busselton, WA, suffering serious abdominal wounds;
Jessica Fitzgerald, 13, daughter of Terry, suffering multiple serious shrapnel wounds and burns to the front of her body.
Critically-injured Australians evacuated to Royal Darwin Hospital are:
Anthony Purkiss, 40, of Newcastle, suffering shrapnel-related injuries;
Maryanne Purkiss, 43, of Newcastle, wife of Anthony, suffering shrapnel-related injuries.
Also evacuated to Darwin with serious injuries are:
Eric Pilar, 55, of Newcastle;
Jenny Pilar, 46, of Newcastle, wife of Eric;
Nicolas Scott, 46, of Newcastle;
Jenny Scott, 46, of Newcastle, wife of Nicolas;
George Drake, 57;
Aleta Lederwasch, 21, of Newcastle, daughter of Julia, with shrapnel wounds to lower right leg;
Kim Griffiths of Newcastle;
Vicki Griffiths of Newcastle, wife of Kim.
Australians allowed to check out of hospital in Bali are:
Julia Lederwasch, 46, of Newcastle, who suffered minor shrapnel wounds in the buttock, was allowed to check out but stayed with her daughter for the evacuation;
Gerry Shaw, 47, was allowed to go home.

A KGB official confirmed a report on Belarus state TV which said a US diplomat had recruited 10 Belarusians.
The US embassy in Minsk denied the allegation, first aired at the weekend.
The US announced on Monday that it was cutting its diplomatic staff in Minsk from 35 to 17, in line with a request from Belarus.
Both countries recalled their ambassadors earlier this month. The move followed Washington's imposition of sanctions on the Belarusian state oil company Belneftekhim.
Belarus announced it was withdrawing its ambassador to Washington and asked the US to follow suit.
Minsk has accused the US of violating agreements aimed at normalising diplomatic relations.
As well as sanctions on individual companies, both the US and the EU have imposed travel bans on Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and some of his top officials.
They have demanded that President Lukashenko frees political prisoners and allows more democratic freedom, before normal relations can be restored.

CAMBRIDGE – The political fallout from Mitt Romney's characterization of 47% of the American electorate as "victims" who are "dependent on government" and refuse to take "personal responsibility" for their lives demonstrates anew that cultural generalizations, particularly in politics, are usually dangerous. In fact, Romney appears to have categorized a large segment of his party's own voters as supporters of President Barack Obama.

I first came to St. Lawrence as an Economics major, but soon realized that Fine Arts was a passion that I would follow. I had taken some photography courses in high school, but it wasn't until college that I realized this was something I would like to do for the rest of my life. While working on black and white film photography I worked on my technical and conceptual skills at school but, it was the digital work outside the classroom that I began to focus on. The art of capturing a moment in time and the ability to do so in different ways is what draws me to this medium. My digital body of work began to grow and last summer I created a website and freelance photography business that I hope to continue when I graduate this May. I have been a photography TA and a technician in NCAT.

Antimicrobial Surfaces
Efforts in the Engel laboratory have been directed toward the development of environmental surfaces that kill bacteria and fungi on contact without the use of antibiotics that can lead to the development of resistant strains. We describe our approach toward this end that utilizes cationic lipids for the rapid and complete destruction of a wide range of bacteria (Gram negative and Gram positive) as well as fungi, without being consumed in the process. Thus, an initial application to the surface remains active throughout the normal lifetime of the surface. Such surfaces serve for the prevention of transmission of pathogens and as such are prophylactic. We describe most recent advances in the application of these techniques toward the destruction of viral species, as well as approaches toward the development of materials that have the potential for use as pharmaceutical agents instead of prophylactic agents.

Heterocyclic Methodology for Natural Products Synthesis
As a synthetic organic chemist, my research program involves the ongoing development of new synthetic methodology for the construction of biologically active natural products. Specifically, this encompasses: 1. Investigation and use of oxazolone as a useful heterocyclic scaffold for alkaloid synthesis: This has primarily involved studies of intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions with oxazolone as the dienophilic species. Extrapolation to other cycloadditions is planned. Application in the synthesis of several alkaloid targets is currently underway. 2. Novel organosilane chemistry for approaches to bioactive ether targets: We have developed a rapid synthesis of cis-fused bicyclic ether arrays in which oxoniums undergo nucleophilic attack by vinylsilanes in a novel intramolecular annulation process. The related silyl-activated Friedel-Krafts process proceeds through an unusual combination of electronic and steric effects. A series of silicon-mediated cycloadditions are also under investigation. A wide variety of ether natural product motifs are thus accessible.

Correlation between the structures of MC and DMC DNA crosslinks and the role of p21 in the toxicity of DNA adducts.
The mode of action of Mitomycin C (MC) to treat certain cancers is known in contrast to 10-decarbamoyl mitomycin C (DMC) which has recently been found to form similar or identical adducts with DNA as mitomycin C (MC). DMC however generates a unique stereoisomeric interstrand crosslink (beta isomer, β-ICL) and its DNA-adduct generated by DMC treatment (-ICL) rapidly activate a p53-independent signal transduction pathway. The central hypothesis of this proposal is that the differences in the local DNA structures of the mitosene-alpha and mitosene-beta crosslink adducts (-ICL and -ICL) are responsible for the different biochemical responses produced by the two compounds. In particular, we hypothesize that DMC provokes a PI3K/Akt/p21 cell death pathway due to the specific DNA-adducts formed. In order to correlate MC and DMC-adducts structures with the role of p21 in the toxicity of the α-ICL and β-ICL, the following three aims will be achieved: 1) Synthesis of the alpha and beta DNA crosslinks of MC and DMC via biomimetic and post-oligomerization methods. 2) Determination of the sequence selectivity (CG or GC) for the -ICL of decarbamoyl mitomycin C (DMC) through analysis of the favored cross-linking pathway. This will reveal the orientation of the drug in the DNA duplex: upstream or downstream. 3) Finally, the role of p21 in the upstream p53-independent signaling pathway in response to MC/DMC and these crosslinks will be determined by using flow cytometry to verify the cell cycle arrest stage, Western blot analysis to reveal the p21 phosphorylation status and immunocytochemistry to localize p21.

From Archimedes Palimpsest to Water Analysis: My 37 Years of Instrumental Analytical Chemistry at Rutgers
My presentation will focus on my 37 years of analytical chemistry in the Chemistry Department at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. I will share with you some of the exciting research projects that I have been involved with based upon the use of several analytical instruments (Raman, GC-FID/MS, TOF- MS/MS, EDXRF, FT-IR, HPLC, and TLC-FID) in my toolbox. In addition, teaching has been an exciting way to pass on my knowledge to up-and-coming students wishing to pursue a career in analytical chemistry. My research has three areas of focus that include environmental, biological, and forensic. In environmental analysis, I will share with you my experience with ICP-MS for tap water analysis to determine sources of Pb by measuring its stable isotopes. Furthermore, using ICP-MS in biological applications, we report on blood lead analysis from a gunshot victim in which Pb-based bullet fractions remain lodged in the subject's body. By measuring the stable Pb isotope ratios in sequential blood samples and comparing these ratios with the lead-based bullet, interesting kinetics of Pb exchange can be determined. Recently, we have been using shotgun lipidomics to analyze designer omega-3 fatty acid dietary supplements used to provide the bioactive molecule DHA to Alzheimer's patients. Forensic science has also been an exciting venture in our laboratory. In this regard, I will share you our micro EDXRF method to recover text, non-destructively of course, for the first time on pages from the Archimedes Palimpsest. Keeping with the theme of micro analytical chemistry, results using Raman microscopy, micro ATR-FTIR, and micro EDXRF, will be presented. Specific examples, non-destructively, of analyzing postage stamps, jewelry (counterfeit Rolex watches), counterfeit US and British banknotes, Coach handbags, mouse embryos, and krill will be presented. Use of chemometrics with digital spectral libraries and database mining software assisted in rapid characterization of unknown artifacts. Analytical chemistry with an extensive tool-box of state-of-the-art instrumentation is fun and exciting. Therefore, in this presentation, sharing our specific applications described above will be fun and enjoyable.

Nowhere will this lack of global leadership allow for more near-term turmoil than in the Middle East.

UBS has caught up with other brokers in reviewing its position on
Revised capital and expenditure estimates on the project have left Murchison with a $1.5 billion shortfall, requiring a restructure that may involve the sale of its stake in the project or Crosslands Resources (the joint venture with Mitsibushi which owns the Jack Hill iron ore mine).
The broker says it has taken the decision to downgrade given "material changes to the investment case and significant funding and valuation uncertainty". UBS has slashed its 12-month target price from $3 to 70¢, reflecting this risk.

Woody Harrelson was snapped stripping off for a swim with pal Owen Wilson at his Miami, Florida, home on Sunday, April 6.
It appears that Woody Harrelson is comfortable with nudity as he's been snapped stripping off for a swim with pal Owen Wilson at his Miami, Florida, home on Sunday, April 6. While Owen opted to preserve his modesty with a pair of swimming trunks, Harrelson was happy to bare all, diving into the sea completely naked.
Best friends Harrelson and Owen, according to the Daily Mail, watched both the men's and ladies' singles tennis finals at the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne in Miami over the weekend. Spending hours on the heat of the court action, the twosome then went back to Harrelson's Miami waterfront home and decided to take a dip in the ocean.
After enjoying a dip in Miami Bay, Harrelson was photographed climbed out of the Atlantic, running bare-bottomed back to the house for a nude work-out in his home gym. See some pics of Harrelson stripping off for a swim with Owen on Daily Mail.
Is an American Emmy Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated actor, Harrelson is well known as a supporter and activist for the legalization of marijuana and hemp in the U.S. His wild antics and love of partying have also become the subject of media attention. Admitting his wild behavior, he once was quoted as saying, "Whatever it is, I tend to get into things in an extreme fashion. I'm a sensitive soul. Now I feel pretty balanced. But it's not like I don't like to party. I will always like to party, and if that ever changes, slap me. Every day I swim, I surf, climb coconut trees, play with my kids, eat mangoes. There's no form to it, which I kind of like."
Harrelson and Owen have been friends for many years and last year they went for a holiday in Peru and Hawaii. He even supported Owen after his suicide attempt August last year.

275g désiré potatoes
2 tbsp plain flour
2 or 3 tbsp sour cream
2 free range eggs
1 free range egg yolk
salt and white pepper to taste
spray oil
125g spreadable goats cheese (try Soignon brand)
250g smoked salmon
60g salmon roe (caviar)
sprigs of dill, to garnish
Place whole, unpeeled potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil on high, then reduce heat to medium and cook until tender throughout (30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes). This will ensure that no water gets into the potatoes. Once cooked, drain and allow to cool for 5 minutes before peeling and mashing using a potato ricer. Check that you have 250g of potato remaining.
While the potatoes are still warm, whisk in the flour, followed by the eggs and finish with 2 tbsp of sour cream. If the mix looks a little dry, add more crème fraiche.
To cook, heat a skillet or non-stick fry pan to medium low. Lightly spray the pan with oil, then spoon heaped teaspoons of the batter onto the griddle. Allow to cook for about 2 minutes, or until the base is slightly golden brown, then flip and cook on the other side.
You can keep the blinis warm in a low oven (100°C) loosely covered in foil for up to 1 hour.
To finish, place ½ tsp of goats cheese onto each blini, top with about 1 tsp of smoked salmon, a little caviar and a sprig of fresh dill. Voila!

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing
Hack & Slash with a couple new/unusual approaches. As much as I enjoyed it, will pick up the next one, it just doesn't offer anywhere near the content of TL 2.
A couple of missions function like a Tower Defense game. Enemy is trying to invade your hideout, usually from multiple points simultaneously. Goal is to stop them from getting in obviously by kill them yourself, or the use of traps. After the first mission like this, the attack pattern was pretty clear and it was very easy to shuffle traps around for future invasions to prevent all but 1 monster from getting through.
Every attack skill has 3 possible addons. These addons modify the skill, kind of like D3. These addons can be stacked in any combination of 3 you wish, 3A or 1A + 1B + 1C for example, and will proc the addon's special effects when you spend Rage.
Much like TL 2, you have a pet that can buy/sell gear for you. Unlike TL 2, she actually levels up and you get to spend points on attributes & skills. I definitely noticed a difference in my melee combat effectiveness without her buffs. Also, in TL 2 reputation level ups resulted in an extra skillpoint, in Van Helsing, it results in a perk. You only get 10 (I think) through the entire game with a total of 38 (not all available at once, have to be unlocked) to pick from. For the most part, I felt these were well done. Some clearly targeted for ranged, other for melee, and some with universal usefulness.
Really liked their approach to the major boss fights. The boss for Chapter 1 for example, could be "face tanked" or you could run around and utilize the environment to speed things up a bit.
I also enjoyed the story and banter quite a bit; I did LoL on a couple occasions. There's a fair amount of side quests too but, outside the tower defense stuff, nothing stood out as new.
As said, as much as I enjoyed it, TL 2 just offers more content. You only have 2 skill trees & passives + a buff/utility ability tab filled from buying them from teachers (as opposed to 3 & passives in TL 2), Ranged and Melee. You're limited to 2 active skills and a combination of 2 buffs/utility skills. When you compare this to other games in the genre, it's very limiting. The 2 skill trees also amount to only a handful of classes/builds. Each tree can do physical or magic damage with a couple AoE skills in both. Again, other games in the genre offer much more variety.
I also noticed a slight issue with ranged balance. Most games like this melee has a problem, have to be in range to take damage to deal it and have to close with ranged opponents. In Van Helsing, it seemed like ranged lacked damage/survivability in comparison to melee builds. Entirely possible it was operator error, I make a good tank and a horrible kiter, but it stood out to me here where it normally doesn't.
Mobs do not respawn, ever. The game is hand crafted so you'll never seriously out level content but, if you get stuck or want/need better gear, you won't have many options.
And finally, the game isn't very long. Took me slight north of 10 hours to finish without skipped side quests. At release, there was no endgame at all. You killed the final boss, you're done. They have since recycled 3 (or 4) maps for level 30+ monsters (30 is level cap). They offer absolutely nothing new or different besides enemies that out level you though. There's no NG+ or random affix Maps.
TL;DR Good game for fans of genre if the above isn't a deal breaker. I will buy the next one they roll out, but it simply doesn't compare to TL 2 in terms of content/variety.

(CNSNews.com) - They were on opposite ends of the country, but that didn't stop Vice President Al Gore and his sole rival, Bill Bradley, from taking verbal potshots at one another.
Appearing in San Francisco, Bradley charged Gore with using "scare tactics" in explaining the former New Jersey senator's health reform package. "It's the worst use of scare tactics I've seen in years...it made my blood boil."
Bradley was responding to Gore's statement that his (Bradley's) health plan would leave thousands of sick people, include those with AIDS, without health coverage. The charge is especially serious in the San Francisco area given its large homosexual population.
"He should be ashamed," Bradley told reporters when asked about the vice president's statement.
Bradley's health plan replaces the current Medicaid program with subsidies that would permit Medicaid recipients to purchase their own health insurance. Gore contends the subsidies, which he calls vouchers, are too small. But Bradley contends his plan would permit the poor and ill to sign up for the same type of insurance options enjoyed by federal workers, including members of the US House of Representatives and Senate.
Meanwhile, Bradley will soon launch a major advertising campaign in hopes of bolstering his sagging poll numbers in California and other critical primary contests. The ads are expected to air within a week of Saturday's South Carolina Republican showdown.
With media coverage directed largely at the Bush-McCain contest, Bradley has received little airtime in recent weeks resulting in a sharp decline in several key polls, including the California-based Field Poll. The media attention to the Republican race has also cost Bradley much-needed support from Independents who are flocking to McCain.
Like the Arizona senator, Bradley has based much of his effort on his ability to attract Independents and get them to register as Democrats in key primary states where crossover voting is allowed.
In related developments, Gore has met with Reverend Al Sharpton in an effort to shore up support among New York City's Afro-American community. The Sunday afternoon meeting took place in the Upper East Side apartment of Gore's daughter, Karenna Gore Schiff, and lasted an hour. Prior to the session, Gore had, on several occasions, declined invitations to meet with Sharpton. The minister also met recently with Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is seeking the soon-to-be-vacant Senate seat in New York. That seat is opening because of the retirement of Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
Gore and Sharpton were joined in their meeting by Gore Campaign Manager Donna Brazile and Bronx Borough President Roberto Ramierez. A Gore spokesman said the session dealt with issues of interest to the minority community, including the Community Reinvestment Act and economic development. Chris Lehane said the vice president neither asked for nor received Sharpton's endorsement.
In other Democratic news, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said on Tuesday that his group did not jump the gun in endorsing Gore, even though some rank and file members have expressed an interest in the McCain candidacy. Sweeney made his comments during a union gathering in New Orleans.
However, Andrew Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, said there are enough of his members interested in McCain that the union had seriously considered recommending him as an alternative to Gore for its Independent and Republican members. In the end, the union only endorsed Gore.
Meanwhile, two AFL-CIO affiliates, the Teamsters and the United Auto Workers, have yet to endorse the vice president, who will meet on Thursday with the AFL-CIO Council.

The individuals studied came from commercial catches on the coastal area off Mar del Plata. The monthly distribution of sizes shows that the juvenile stay in coastal waters, while the adult individuals leave those waters during winter season to return there in the spring during the season of sexual maturation and spawning, when the water reaches temperature of 10-11°C. The jack mackerel is a relatively small fish, compared with other species of its genus, and has a total length of scarcely 25 cm. The comparison of indexes and mesurements does not reveal any marked difference between sexes, except for the total length, which is greater in the females. Sexually nature individuals at a lenth of 13 cm have been found. Spawning takes place in coastal waters. A great part of the population spawns from December to January. There are oscillations ranging from November to March. On this latter month mature individuals of smaller size have veen found. The jack mackerel feeds usually on copepods and other planktonic organims, but it can feed also on juveniles of other fishes. This fish is caught throghout the whole year. The catches show their greater peak during winter; one other non-constant peak occurs during the spring (October-November) and declines shoraply during the summer months. It follows from this that the time of greates catch does not coincide with spawning season, or with the appearence of the greatest mean sizes. This happens because the interests of the fishermen are attracted during those months by others species of greater commercial value.

No, it shows a packet being passed. :) Not sure why these show up,

An Alabama woman is recovering after allegedly being attacked by her girlfriend's brother over Thanksgiving weekend.
Though details of the case are continuing to emerge, NBC affiliate Local 15 reportsthat 23-year-old Mallory Owens is being treated for injuries following a Nov. 22 assault by Travis Hawkins Jr. Owens, who was reportedly attending Thanksgiving dinner at the family home of girlfriend Ally Hawkins (Travis' sister) at the time of the attack, suffered multiple skull fractures and crushed bones, and had metal plates put under her eyes because of her injuries
"She was invited over by the family to eat Thanksgiving. I did not want her to go, I begged her not to go, knowing how the family felt about her. But she said, 'They're trying to be nice.'"
"The first time he attacked her with a pipe and hit her in the back of the head and on the back a few times,
A photo reportedly showing Owens in the hospital has since been posted on Facebook. "It is reported that the accused attackers family stood by, did not intervene, and have threatened the [victim's] family," the user wrote.
Meanwhile, an attorney said the Hawkins family "regret what happened" to Owens, but denied the accusation that the attack was a hate crime in any way.

Tewksbury MA (SPX) Nov 20, 2013
Raytheon has been awarded a $406 million U.S. Navy multi-year contract to provide AN/SPY-1 radar transmitters and MK99 Fire Control Systems for the AEGIS program.
Both critical components of the weapon system, the AN/SPY-1 radar and MK99 perform the search, track and missile guidance functions for AEGIS, the shield of the U.S. Navy Fleet. The contract was awarded in Raytheon's third quarter.
"Through our long-standing role on the AEGIS program, we continue to build on our core radar expertise, consistently delivering reliable and highly-capable components to support the mission needs of naval fleets," said Kevin Peppe, vice president of Seapower Capability Systems for Raytheon's Integrated Defense Systems business.
"Our history of performance is a testament to our extensive legacy of experience in the design and development of complex radars."
Raytheon's AN/SPY-1 radar transmitter and MK99 Fire Control System have been in continuous production for 32 years as part of the Navy's AEGIS shipbuilding program, sustaining this critical system.
In addition to expert systems engineering services for U.S. and allied fleet-deployed systems, Raytheon also provides performance-based logistics support, including spares and repairs for AEGIS weapons systems. Development efforts are under way to introduce the latest in solid-state technologies to further improve component performance, reliability and extended service life of these systems.
Raytheon's AN/SPY-1 and MK99
Other facts:
+ First production contract awarded in 1981.
+ 109 ships equipped (17 international).
+ 141 AN/SPY-1 systems delivered.
+ 351 MK99 systems delivered.
The AN/SPY-1 and the MK99 are currently aboard the U.S. Navy's fleet of cruisers and destroyers, as well as Japanese Kongo-class destroyers, Spanish F-100 Alvaro de Bazan-class frigates and Republic of Korea KDX-111 King Sejong the Great-class destroyers.
The AN/SPY-1 radar will also be deployed onboard the Royal Australian Navy's future Hobart-class Air Warfare Destroyer; Raytheon Australia serves as the combat systems integrator for AWD.

Power prices are one of the most toxic issues in Australian households at the moment.
Transforming what has become a debate warped by self-interest and political agendas into meaningful results is still a long way off, but at least it is on the industry's agenda.
The Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) yesterday issued its own glossy 44-page booklet outlining ways to improve the nation's energy market.
The recommendations largely mirror those in Labor's energy white paper out last week – with one notable exception.
CEDA is urging the government to reconsider its opposition to nuclear energy and uranium mining.
It is a nice idea, but finding the political will – even without breakthroughs in clean energy technologies – looks an impossible ask.
The straight-talking Resources and Energy Minister,
Ferguson is toeing the party line when it comes to Australia looking at the nuclear option.
He notes it has never been an economically competitive option here, and is right when he says the idea would never have enough community support to gain political traction.
There were more positive noises from the government yesterday about the need for full electricity price deregulation, which retailers like Origin Energy are cheering on enthusiastically.
Victoria, which already has a deregulated market, has become the industry's poster boy for power pricing. Customers there switch between providers more often than in other states, which is seen as a sign that competition is working.
Regulators in Queensland and South Australia have decided to adopt a market-based approach for setting power prices, which is causing enormous headaches for the industry and will inevitably hurt customers as power companies put the brakes on new investment and reduce competition.
About the only thing everyone agrees on is the fact that prices have risen too fast and many households cannot afford to pay their power bills.
AGL Energy figures show that about 10,000 households on the east coast alone are struggling to pay their bills. The hardship is most evident for families.
It also estimates a single household can own up to a staggering 175 electricity appliances, with up to 35 per cent of those on at any one time.
These figures illustrate the need to address behavioural patterns when it comes to energy use, and the problems caused by households turning everything on at the same time in peak times.
There were some sharp differences of opinion at the CEDA lunch about who should lead the campaign to reform how households consume power, but it has to start somewhere and the energy retailers have a big role to play.
Companies like Origin have already rolled out smart meters for some customers which mean households can better monitor what they are using. By getting customers to use less power retailers like Origin and AGL hope they can lift revenues by winning and retaining more users.
There has been near radio silence from the
The pressure is on GrainCorp's chief executive
GrainCorp needs to talk up its valuation as much as possible if it is going to play hard-ball with the Americans.
GrainCorp's reluctance to engage so far suggests the board is not about to roll over and give ADM access to its books for $11.75 per share.
The stock closed yesterday at $12.18 and broker forecasts value it at as much as $12.50, suggesting there could be scope for a higher bid although valuing cyclical agribusinesses companies like GrainCorp is not easy.
It has also been using the time to make its own detailed evaluation of itself.
While GrainCorp is under no legal obligation to say anything today as there is no statutory clock ticking on what is an informal approach, a bid is incredibly distracting and it will need to tell shareholders what it is thinking.
About 30 per cent of GrainCorp's stock has changed hands since the approach, adding to the pressure for a transaction.
ADM's brokers secured 14.9 per cent of the stock while hedge funds and other parties betting on a short-term gain from any corporate activity have acquired about 15 per cent.
Bids like this are a real test of a board's resolve.
No one wants to face criticism like the boards at Perpetual and APN News & Media copped from investors for rejecting takeover bids only to see the share price subsequently fall.
But directors need to weigh this with the need to get the best possible value out of a prospective bidder.
GrainCorp is a well-managed company and Watkins has done the right thing taking time to assess the situation, but shareholders will want some movement today.
At the very least, investors will want some clear earnings guidance for the following year.
JPMorgan is tipping a 19 per cent increase in net profit to $204.5 million and a 15¢ per share fully franked dividend.
The fact that
Thanks to some better-than-expected results from its building products and aluminium divisions, managing director Rob Sindel was yesterday able to reaffirm full-year guidance. He has also neatly taken advantage of a temporary jump in aluminium prices to increase its hedging for 2013.
The company now has 80 per cent of its second-half exposure hedged at a healthy $2.267 per tonne.
While this looks good on the surface, all CSR has really done is stave off any further material declines in earnings expectations.
It is not a bad achievement considering the external market conditions but there are no signs of things improving either, even though the company points to "early indications of modest improvement" in residential construction.
CSR's first-half net profit was $20.4 million. It is hard to believe the company was posting annual net profits of more than $2 billion just nine years ago.
But at least it is posting a profit compared to the 2009 financial year's $327 million loss.
CSR is battling a 15 per cent slump in Australian residential construction activity.
The company has one of the highest exposures to new residential starts, which it still expects to total about 135,000 for the year ending March 31 compared with the previous year's 148,300.
There are few bright spots at the moment in one of the most challenged industry sectors. Avoiding further downgrades is all investors can hope for.
The construction sector is grappling with the toughest conditions in decades. Weak residential housing and stiff competition are forcing hundreds of contractors to price jobs below cost in order to win business.
Weak commercial property markets, delays in big mining projects, wet weather and funding issues are also not helping.
Cement maker Holcim Australia is laying off as many as 150 staff and mothballing up to 30 plants as part of a review of its Australian operations.

What makes them?
The capacity to learn infinite new sides of each other; growth; deep respect and pressure-free negotiating when change is needed to keep things fresh.
What breaks them?
Even if it should inexplicably end, it won't be on anything other than amicable terms.
Can it work between Virgo Woman and Capricorn Man?
It has enough momentum to work for two lifetimes and more. A match made in heaven, even if it takes a slightly more mundane course right here on Earth. You can take a look at the ethereal connections in our comments section alone at the bottom to see how deep this one goes.
Although it is true Capricorn man is able to hold up his end to a satisfactory degree in any relationship, Virgo woman is one of the few partners to hold a real eye-opening factor in his eyes. She finds herself among an exclusive company of lovers who can outlast terms like "satisfactory", "acceptable" and "adequate" when it comes to his judgement. Not only that but, thanks to Virgo's delicate and meticulous nature, they normally disappear and make way for something far greater with imperceptible ease. He is done loving life to a "good enough" level, only choosing greatness from now on. And she refuses to take credit for his enhanced vision. That is one of the great feats of a Virgo woman, and a quality Capricorn man will love her for while he also enhances her talents by mere virtue of his presence in her life.
Virgo women are so giving and prone to self-sacrifice, it would be a credible reputation that follows them around if they were not so well-versed in shying from credit, for fear of stepping on anyone else's ego. The humility and undemanding nature of Virgo finds a comfortable and rewarding home when placed in the arms of her Capricorn mate. She has given her heart willingly in the past, but is not so foolish to keep doing so without learning from past mistakes. She does not seek to exact revenge on anyone for any misfortune she may have suffered, but her meticulous and well-regimented nature will eventually come to the surface as a defence mechanism against all the ways in which the world could let her down again.
Along with sharing an earth sign, Capricorn man also shares this meticulous planning and attention to detail. Both partners work on the essential notion that time is the most valuable thing in their lives and should be well accounted for. It is a shared trait making them excellent business partners, colleagues or creative partners. Unlike Capricorn's capacity to build a dual personal and professional relationship with other signs, however, it would be best if he took a different approach to his domestic life with Virgo and let her mothering qualities shine through.
Even in the workplace and beyond the home they both cherish so dearly, Virgo finds herself adapting to the qualities of her Capricorn man. This time, the adaptation and subservience she practices so well for her friends and family do not result in her fading into the background, instead enhancing her skills to levels she never thought possible. This is a gift to reward both partners in truly spectacular fashion.
Even if Virgo eventually becomes more capable and efficient at the qualities Capricorn male has championed for a lifetime, what possible greater ideal could Capricorn be blessed with than seeing his presence push Virgo to new levels of personal achievement and success? It is almost the quintessential Capricorn fantasy, to see everything they have stood and persevered for embodied in the person they love the most. The only people they could possible love more are the children they will inevitably bear.
Virgo is not one to posture or point out how much of a capable person she has become in exceeding her Capricorn mate, and her mothering instinct needs satisfying by building a worthy house for both of them to love coming home to. Capricorn will get his due time to ascend to the mantle of breadwinner in this well-run and harmonious household, once again.
What he cannot expect are the changes and rewards bestowed upon him during the period his Virgo queen excels professionally and socially. Logic, structure and reason could not account for the change this relationship has fostered in both of them. As a consequence, for pure lack of answers, Capricorn finds himself more willing to become philosophical and dream about the future. This is a totally new experience for him and, unlike the hazardous changes that would await him in a similar bond with a Piscean woman, Virgo woman holds enough earthly character to ground his compass whenever he needs to come home and familiarize himself with surroundings again.
This is the kind of union written about in fantasy adventure stories, only the mundane and meticulous reality that these two lovers will comfortably harvest between them shall mask their perfection to a sufficient degree so as not to make any of their family and friends too envious.

With more than two million households in privately rented accommodation and would-be first-time buyers frustrated by house prices 250 per cent higher than a decade ago, how can buy-to-let be in the doldrums? The answer is simple - too many investors have piled in.
Borrowing by landlords has increased six-fold in five years, according to business consultancy Datamonitor; even Paragon Mortgages, a buy-to-let lender, admits that average annual rents in England fell £250 in just one month; and lettings agent Hamptons International has 14 per cent more properties available to rent out than a year ago.
As a result, a few canny consultancies are marketing supposedly new forms of rented accommodation to harness investors' desire to buy into bricks and mortar.
Yet most of these pioneering schemes are utterly untested. Are brave investors in at the start of a new trend, or victims of opportunistic developers exploiting the absence of good alternative investments and forced to sell the eccentric and the downright dodgy?
1. Hotel room
Investors need: £235,000 or more.
Yield: unknown (some developers offer 5 per cent rent guarantee for one year).
Appreciation: unknown.
Perks: you can stay in the room whenever you visit London.
GuestInvest is selling rooms at the former Westbourne Hotel at Westbourne Park in the heart of London's sometimes seedy bed-and-breakfast land. For £235,000 to £300,000 an investor gets a room on a 99-year lease; they can stay there for up to 52 nights a year, but for the rest of the time it is handed back to the developer in return for a 5 per cent rent guarantee running for just one year.
On London's South Bank, 395 serviced apartments in the old Greater London Council's County Hall by specialist buy-to-let devel oper Galliard Homes are selling for £235,000 to £475,000.
2. Timeshare
Investors need: as little as £9,900.
Yield: none, unless you rent out 'your week' to friends.
Appreciation: could prove to be negative.
Perks: you get a holiday once a year and/or limited nights accommodation.
Timeshare is back in fashion with new names - Fragmented Ownership, Seasonal Ownership or Resort Ownership - and new brands linked to upmarket hotel firms such as De Vere, Marriott and Hilton.
But the principles remain the same; you buy a flat, house or villa for the same week or a longer period each year, or buy the rights to use the property for a fixed total duration at different times of the year according to availability.
Prices vary enormously. At Gleneagles in Scotland, one week's residency until 2058 can be as low as £9,900;
At 47 Park Street in central London a room can be bought for three weeks a year until 2050 for up to £160,000.
But while top-brand timeshare may be a logical leisure choice, it is a very poor long-term investment. At long-standing timeshare developments it is common to buy a week's usage from an owner at less than half the price advertised by the developer, and purchase contracts in most developments ensure that only the developer is allowed to benefit from the long-term capital appreciation on resale.
3. Club membership
Investors need: £750,000
Yield: none, unless you rent out through 'the club'.
Appreciation: unknown.
Perks : use of adjoining hotel facilities.
Property entrepreneur Peter de Savary is pioneering a scheme at Bovey Castle in Devon, which he has converted into a luxury hotel with an eccentric investment twist.
In the castle grounds are 22 three-bedroom lodges. They cannot be purchased outright, but the right to occupy them can be bought by joining a private club costing a one-off £750,000 fee, with annual service charges on top.
In return for the fee the 'club member' is given unlimited use of the lodge. De Savary promises to pass on any appreciation on club membership when the member decides to sell on.
But what is unknown is whether demand for the rights to three-bedroom lodges at £750,000 will be high in a county where that sum will buy handsome period five-bedroom country houses with change to spare.
Lodges' 'rights' on sale through FPDSavills 01392 253344.
4. Student buy-to-let
Investors need: at least£160,000.
Yield: 5- 10 per cent.
Appreciation: unknown, but likely to reflect the local market.
Perks: a place for your own son or daughter to live while at college.
Analysts believe this sector will blossom because demand is high. With government targets for school-leavers to enter higher education at 50 per cent by 2007, there is room for growth. Although buying second-hand and more recently off-plan property for letting to students is common enough, Bourston Property is the first developer to avowedly market a 'student buy-to-let' scheme, the 99-unit Junxion scheme in Lincoln available for occupation by 569 students from 1 September.
Because Lincoln has a poor supply of units for first-year students in particular, the scheme is likely to receive favourable treatment from college authorities' allocation procedures, so voids will probably be minimal, at least in term time.
With prices from £160,000 to £275,000 and owners buying into pre-letting and management services (albeit at a hefty 25 per cent of gross rental income), this is a no-hassle scheme in a clearly growing market.
At least another five similar schemes are on the way in other British locations.
Such variations on conventional buy-to-let will probably proliferate as traditional landlords sell-up, disenchanted by stagnant rents and possibly static capital values. Most such schemes, with the exception of the student sector, are at best uncertain and untried.
As ever, brave investors may make a killing by entering these specialist markets early. On the other hand, of course, they may make fools of themselves.

D&AD Typographic Circle supplement
The three designers I selected for my supplements were; Anthony Burrill, Morag Myerscough and Jonathan Barnbrook. I wanted to use original content to make the booklets more interesting and unique so I sent around an e-mail asking some unconventional questions to each of the designers and luckily enough, I got a reply from each one.
I had three booklets for each designer; an interview booklet, a picture booklet and a quote booklet. The style and layout of the booklets were the same for each designer with only the colour changing.
The three supplements did not have the same structure, I had originally researched into the theory and philosophy of Made Thought and found that they are all about contrast which is a philosophy that I found really interesting and I therefore wanted to reflect this in my work.
The interview booklet was the most structured out of the three; I contrasted a serif and sans serif typeface and kept the amount of information on each page to fill no more than half of it to keep it looking fresh. The clean layout of the interior was contrasted by the raw grey board that I used for the back cover.
The picture booklet is the smallest of the three. It is perforated so the user can pull out each picture which makes it a bit more tactile.
The final booklet content was full of found quotes from other interviews, quotes which I thought were inspiring and insightful. The design of this one was far less structured and a bit more experimental with each page looking different.
(Apologies for the bad quality)
Thank You!

Q. I've heard about "watching out" for lymphedema, but I'm not really sure what it is. Help!
A. Lymphedema is a buildup of fluid in your arm after you've had one or more lymph nodes removed, or sometimes as a result of radiation. Lymph nodes are hard-working little nodules clustered in various parts of your body whose job it is to filter harmful bacteria and other infections out of your lymph fluid. Lymph fluid, in turn carries white blood cells, and circulates around the body via lymph vessels, and the bloodstream. Bottom line, it's your lymph system that helps you fight infection; you need it.
When you have surgery on your breast, and one or more lymph nodes is removed to check for cancer, it affects the whole system on that side. Along with the nodes come some of the vessels; scar tissue blocks other vessels, and suddenly, the lymph system can't do its job as efficiently and effectively. (Sometimes radiation can cause this, as well.) The result? If other nodes don't "step up," swelling in the arm and upper chest: lymphedema. This swelling can range from "Gosh, why do my rings feel so tight today?" to "WOW, my whole arm is swelled up like a balloon!" But whatever the severity, it's something you need to deal with, not ignore.
The good news is, only 10% to 15% of women who've had surgery for breast cancer come down with lymphedema. The bad news is, you can get it anytime, including years later, long after you've finished your treatment. So it's something we all need to be aware of.
Q. What happens if I ignore it and just wait for the swelling to go away? Won't it just calm down in time?
A. OK, here's some more bad news: Lymphedema that is left untreated can potentially lead to cellulitis, an infection of the skin that can become severe very quickly. (Did you know your skin is the largest organ in your body? It's not just there to hold your insides together; it performs a number of important functions, so an infection is bad news.) Cellulitis needs to be treated with antibiotics; and in some cases, these drugs must be given intravenously, which means a stay in the hospital. Trust me; you don't want cellulitis, which means you don't fool around with lymphedema.
