Rates of sexual assault in the military are staggering. Our service men and women deserve better than this. A culture of hypermasculinity -- strength and stoicism -- breeds the sense of power and entitlement that drives sexual assault.

CULLOWHEE - Western's Catamount Academic Tutoring (CAT) Center and Office of Professional Examinations recently launched a new combined Web site. The site provides tutoring, workshop and academic information to Western students and faculty and supplies the WNC region with registration information for professional examinations including Praxis, GRE and LSAT.
I'm delighted that all of the important examination services offered at Western are now housed under one roof, said Director Chesney Reich. The Office of Professional Exams serves as a National Testing Site for seven different exams, offers 16 national test dates, and administers these tests to over 900 students and individuals from the region each year.
In addition to the national testing designations, the office also has assumed responsibility for individual exam administrations of the Miller Analogies, CLEP (College-Level Examination Program), and Institutional SAT programs. The office anticipates administering approximately 80 of these individual exams per year.

Kate Beckinsale – Underworld
Kate Beckinsale Workout, Diet and Exercise Routine for Underworld
Bio-Kate Beckinsale was born on July 26, 1973 in London. The English actress started her acting journey in the 1990's with roles in dramas like Cold Comfort Farm, Much Ado About Nothing and Emma. Kate's breakthrough movie role came in the 2001 film, Pearl Harbor. The actress' other notable big-budget movie roles include The Aviator, The Underworld films and Van Helsing. Beckinsale has also performed in smaller independent movies like Everybody's Fine and Winged Creatures. In 2008, Kate received a Critic's Choice Award nomination for her role in Nothing But The Truth. Kate Beckinslae currently has three movie roles set for 2012 that include Underworld 4, Contraband and Total Recall.
The 2003 action horror film, Underworld depicts Kate Beckinsale as Selene, a vampire who hunts the Lycans in the movie. The action piece was filmed on a 22 million dollar budget and earned over 95 million dollars internationally. Her role in the film required Beckinsale to wear tight fitting outfits, so the actress had to look as lean and toned as possible before filming. Kate turned to celebrity personal trainer, Ramona Braganza to whip her body into stunning shape. Braganza has been noted to work with celebrities like Jessica Alba, Halle Berry and Amanda Seyfried. Kate's trainer threw a blend of training styles to lean and sculpt her physique.
Kate Beckinsale Workout
Although the celebrity admits she's not particularly a fan of exercising, Kate stepped up to the plate before filming of the Underworld movie to get her body into awesome shape. Her personal trainer, Ramona Braganza put together his trademark workout program called the 321 training method. This program consists of three parts cardio exercises typically lasting 30 minutes or so, two parts circuit training, which is a high intensity minimal rest workout and one part core strengthening and stability exercises. Her trainer reported that she preferred single leg exercises and kicks rather than jumping or explosive moves to shape her leg muscles.
In addition to this workout plan, Kate also performed yoga-training sessions to increase her flexibility and core strength. To sharpen the actress' fighting skills she also took part in boxing and martial arts training routine. Kate and her trainer normally hit the gym around 3 or 5pm after her filming sessions. To date the actress keeps up a regular four day a week training program to maintain her amazing physique.
Kate Beckinsale Diet Plan
To help in Kate's body fat reducing, lean muscle-building goals, her trainer put her on a zone diet. Braganza reports, it's all about consuming the right food selections at the optimum time. Beckinsale's diet consisted of lean meats for protein, vegetables and complex carbohydrates to fuel her body during the long filming hours and training as well as heart healthy, monounsaturated fats. Her diet is quite common for most people and truly is the most effective eating plan to accomplish real muscle building and fat reducing success. Kate's eating schedule called for frequent meals spread apart every two to three hours to allow her to sustain a fast metabolism. Although the actress followed the diet program carefully, she admits that if she feels the need to eat something that's not so great she does. However, the actress makes up for it in her home gym.
Kate's celebrity workout routine proves yet again that circuit training combined with cardio exercises is the most popular and most effective workout method for building lean muscle and burning body fat. What's great about circuit training is that it doesn't require a whole bunch of your time. With the limited rest periods in between exercises, your workout can be over in 30 minutes or less. If your seeking a body like Kate's, it's recommended you give circuit training a try.

How to Relieve Symptoms of Shingles
Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a painful infection that affects the nerves of the body. It appears as a blistering skin rash, which is caused by an acute infection of the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chicken pox.
The first symptom of shingles is often a one-sided pain, tingling, or burning that may be severe. Red patches then form on the skin, followed by small blisters that look like early chickenpox. New blisters continue to form for three to five days. The blisters break and form ulcers that turn into crusts that remain for two to three weeks. While the rash usually forms in a narrow band following the nerves from the spine to the front of the chest or abdomen, it can affect eyes, face, mouth, ears, or other body parts.
In addition to the pain and rash, some people experience:
* Abdominal pain
* Chills
* Difficulty moving facial muscles
* Drooping eyelid
* Fever
* Genital lesions
* Headaches
* Hearing loss
* Joint pain
* Swollen glands
* Vision problems
Herpes zoster usually disappears on its own without treatment. Sufferers may, however, need treatment to relive the pain. Physicians may prescribe an antiviral medication to reduce pain and complications and shorten the course of the disease. Anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed to reduce swelling and pain.
Cool, wet compresses applied to affected areas may reduce pain. Soothing baths and lotions, including calamine lotion, colloidal oatmeal, and Burow's solution, are popular shingles remedies that may relieve itching and discomfort.
Shingles usually clears in two or four weeks. Most people experience only one episode of shingles. However, if the virus affects the motor nerves, which are the nerves that control movement, temporary or permanent paralysis may result. Sometimes the pain may last from months to years. Called post-herpetic neuralgia, this complication affects 10 to 15 percent of people with shingles. Treating shingles with antiviral drugs may reduce the duration and occurrence of post-herpetic neuralgia. Other possible complications from herpes zoster include blindness, deafness, encephalitis, and sepsis.
Shingles is contagious. People who have never had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine should not touch the blisters of people with shingles or chickenpox. Once the blisters are crusted over the virus can no longer spread. Some doctors recommend the chickenpox vaccine for teenagers and adults who have never had chickenpox.
Shingles is an extremely painful viral infection. Sufferers may find relief from certain medications and soothing remedies. Although complications are possible, the disease usually runs its course within one month and does not recur.

Easily. Heck, put an ad searching for "moldy fridge" on craig's list and see what pops up.

My humidifier is a "Hanks Craft" which was bought out by "gerber"... a search for "Hankscraft cool humidifier" nets a number of results from ebay for next to nothing. These units are very serviceable and the motors are easy to replace... there is nothing else to break.

 Thats great! This is

 that we have a really chance to get the proper fridge within two

 Who likes cheese? Who likes Salami? Who likes otherwise moldy or bacteria rich food? Who wants to make some moldy food of their own?

 I
 already do this. I make salami (That's right, it's fermented/raw pork)
 and I have no intention of making it at noisebridge, but there is a bio
 group forming and I have a simple way to encapsulate your moldy food
 growing experiment so people don't have to experience your festering
 salami second hand.

 Incubator
 How to make the perfect environment for growing cultures...at least for cheese and salami.

 Control unit
 This is the correct unit, but it needs to be ordered as a "Cooling Thermostat,
 Humidistat" instead of a "Cooling Thermostat, Dehumidistat." I imagine
 they just rewire a relay, then ship it, because my unit arrived with
 all the "Dehumidistat" documentation.
 https://www.greenair.com/browse/ct-dh-series.html

 This
 is the expensive part, about $80. This is where geeks could get
 together and make something better. I am sure an arduino with a couple
 relays and a couple sensors could do this task just fine.

 Other components

 * Cool Humidifier (as opposed to hot humidifier)
 * 5w-10w lightbulb
 * Modern Fridge (the kind that dehumidify/deice...you know, anything from the past 30 years.)

 Basically, the power setup is as such:

 * Power strip
 * Light (installed in fridge)
 * Humidistat/Thermostat
 * Fridge connected to thermostat port

 * Humidifier connected to HumidistatThe
 hardest part to find is the cooling humidifier. Some use paper
 membranes or foam or other porous materials. These are no good. The
 best, and I've only come across one and I guard it with my life, is a
 combination of a centrifugal pump and a squirrel cage fan, all in one.
 (In fact, the delay on my e-mail was I wanted to pull up the info and
 see if I could find it on sale online.) The reason this is important
 is because the porous material quickly becomes inundated with mold.

 So what does this do?

 1. The lamp, being always on, heats the enclosure.
 2. The
 fridge turns on when the heat exceeds the desired amount (according to
 the thermostat on the control unit since, while curing, we want the
 temperature around 70 degrees, well above the range of fridge
 thermostats.) In the process of cooling, the enclosure is also
 dehumidified
 3. When the enclosure turns too dry, the humidistat clicks on and powers the humidifier.We
 have everything to heat, cool, dry, and humidify the enclosure. Apart
 from the controller, everything is cheap and readily available. I have
 some ideas on replacing the humidifier but that is up for further
 discussion.

 One obvious modification to this is the lamp. Does it always need
 to be on? No, but having a candelabra light on for a year is still
 cheaper than getting a dedicated thermostat...unless we roll our own.

 Your Mileage May Vary, This message comes with no warranty, I am not responsible for you getting food poisoning, "It Works Right On My System(tm)", the wrong bacteria will fucking kill you, share and enjoy!

"Goddess Lakshmi, consort of Lord Vishnu, is also the goddess of wealth and prosperity. The word ''Lakshmi'' is derived from the Sanskrit word Laksme, meaning "goal." Lakshmi, therefore, represents the goal of life, which includes worldly as well as spiritual prosperity. Worship Goddess Lakshmi for promotion, success and personal virtues. Women who chant her mantra will develop irresistible beauty and radiance, that shines from within. Praying to Laxmi you will learn how to be truly feminine and win everybody's admiration. This mantra is a supplement for those, who are in show business or in acting and modeling. The mantra will help you to be noticed, brings luck and fortune. The drawing of Laxmi's footprints are used as a magic charm in India. Women draw these small, auspicious footprints on thresholds at twilight to welcome Lakshmi, who bestows wealth and wisdom, health and good cheer."

Financial Analysis and Summary
Consolidated Financial Results
GSA realized $18.7 billion in revenues in FY 2009. If GSA were a public company, its revenues would place it at 135 on the Fortune 500, ahead of Xerox and Nike, among others. The majority of GSA's resources come from reimbursements from other federal agencies for goods and services it provides.
GSA Assets
Assets are things of value that are owned by an organization. GSA's assets are presented on the Consolidating Balance Sheets, and summarized in the chart to the right. Generally, GSA's assets include federal buildings, motor vehicles, and office equipment (Property and Equipment), cash balances which are held in the U.S. Treasury (Fund Balance with Treasury), or debts owed to GSA from other federal agencies, primarily for sales transactions or rent that was not collected at the end of FY 2009 (Accounts Receivable).
The largest percentage change in assets occurred in the Fund Balance with Treasury, which increased by 88 percent. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) of 2009 provided GSA with appropriations of $5.9 billion, primarily for construction and acquisition of federal property, long-term construction projects. The large end-of-year Fund Balance with Treasury reflects projects that were fully funded up front, but will take several years for GSA to fully pay out. Also due to the Recovery Act, around 20 percent of GSA's resources came from appropriations in FY 2009, compared to a normal year, where only about 2.5 percent of GSA's total resources would come from annual appropriations.
Property and Equipment, Net, the largest category of GSA's assets, increased by $916 million, or 4.3 percent. This category of assets is presented as a "net" amount, meaning that the value of the asset is shown with its costs (expenses like depreciation) already subtracted out. The $916 million increase in Property and Equipment, Net is caused by acquisitions of $2,814 million, minus depreciation of $1,618 million and $280 million in property disposals and write-offs. Of the $2,814 million in acquisitions, $1,875 million were from construction, modernization and alterations to buildings, with another $806 million from vehicle acquisitions.
GSA Liabilities
Liabilities are amounts owed by GSA. GSA's liabilities are shown on the Consolidating Balance Sheets and summarized in the chart to the right. GSA's liabilities are primarily amounts owed to commercial vendors but not yet paid (Accounts Payable), and amounts GSA owes to other federal entities (Intragovernmental Debt). From FY 2008 to FY 2009, GSA's accounts payable balance increased by $211 million, primarily due to increases in accounts payable in the Federal Buildings Fund (FBF) of approximately $187 million. Primarily, this increase comes from accounts payable in FBF's rental of space program which increased by $68 million due to general increases in rental rates charged to GSA. Additionally, the Reimbursable Work Authorization (RWA) program accounts payable increased by $65 million due to growth in the RWA program.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Tuesday agreed to take $200,000 from the town's local option tax fund that is reserved for Cross Street Bridge-related expenses in order to bankroll the relocation and undergrounding of utilities and power lines associated with the soon-to-be built new municipal building at 77 Main St.
MIDDLEBURY — After a long day of classes, the 22 students of the five-month residential course moved from a classroom behind the Drop-In Brewery to the tasting room, where they chatted with friends and drank freshly brewed beers.
MIDDLEBURY — Part of Main Street in the heart of Middlebury will be closed for portions of this week to allow construction crews to replace sidewalk and curbs.
The thoroughfare between the roundabout and Merchants Row will be reduced to one lane between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. from Monday, Aug. 11, through Friday, Aug. 15. During that time, crews will replace sidewalk and curb on the northbound, or upstream, side of the bridge. Both lanes of traffic will reopen each evening at 5 p.m.
MIDDLEBURY — Last Wednesday was a good day for sun. For the fourth stop of his annual Summer Solar Tour (which so far have all recorded sunny weather), Gov. Peter Shumlin cut the ribbon on a 500-kilowatt solar array — the first array of its size in the state dedicated to providing electricity through a net metering plan.

MIDDLEBURY — A group of bikers rumbled into town on their motorcycles Monday morning with a unique goal — to hear pitches from entrepreneurs and owners of business startups looking for advice and capital. The group that gathered at the Middlebury Inn was made up of about a dozen venture capitalists and entrepreneurs with experience in early-stage business investment in Vermont.
Hundreds of people enjoyed to the Vermont-made wine, beer, hard cider and spirits — as well as great Vermont cheese — at the Midd Suummber Fest in Middlebury's Marble Works on Aug. 2, 2014.
MIDDLEBURY — Students enrolled in the Patricia A. Hannaford Career Center's agricultural programs will notice a boost in on-campus amenities when they resume classes this fall.
Career center staff this summer have been moving full steam ahead on construction of a 24-foot-by-34-foot barn at the career center's North Campus off Mainelli Road in Middlebury that will, among other things, house horses and other livestock that students would otherwise have to travel to area farms to examine and care for.
MIDDLEBURY — There were no takers for two Addison County side-judge positions when the candidates' filing deadline passed on June 12.

The pattern calls for 4 ply sock yarn, divided into 2 ply, each ply a different color, to give the Ragg effect.

NOTTINGHAM - India debutant Stuart Binny's maiden fifty made sure of a draw with England in the first Test at Trent Bridge on Sunday. On a docile pitch, a draw had always seemed the most likely outcome and so it proved as the first of this five-match series ended in stalemate ahead of Thursday's second Test at Lord's.A draw had all but been assured after England's Joe Root (154 not out) and James Anderson (81) shared a Test record tenth-wicket stand of 198, eclipsing the 111 put on earlier in the match by India's last-wicket pair of Kumar and M Shami (51 not out). This result extended England's winless run to nine Tests -- their worst sequence since they went 10 without victory from 1992 to 1993 -- and meant India had now gone 15 Tests without an away win.The match was an all-round triumph for 24-year-old India seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar who posted three Test-best performances in making 58 and 63 not out separated by a return of five for 82. "It was a good Test match for us, we managed to put pressure on them and then we held up well when we were under pressure," said India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. "We haven't had a seaming all-rounder but Stuart Binny can be someone who can really contribute for us in the future."Reflecting on England's extraordinary last-wicket stand, Dhoni added: "We tried a few things but the ball got soft and the bowlers got tired and I don't think there was much else we could have done." England captain Alastair Cook said he hoped for pitches with more in them for the pace bowlers during the remainder of the series. "We know we can put India under some pressure when we bat and we know we can put their top order under pressure. We just need a pitch with a bit of life in it."After India resumed on 167 for three in overcast conditions on Sunday, they lost three wickets for 16 runs to give England a glimmer of hope. Stuart Broad, on his Nottinghamshire home ground, sparked the slump by taking two for no runs in five balls. Broad, who had been severely critical of the sluggish wicket, had Virat Kohli, aiming across the line, plumb lbw for his overnight eight. The fast-medium bowler then induced Ajinkya Rahane (24) to edge straight to wicketkeeper Matt Prior.Broad then found Dhoni's outside edge only for Cook to drop the routine slip catch with his opposing skipper on five. It was a miss that added to the woes of Cook, struggling for runs and under fire for his tactics. Fortunately for England, however, it was not an expensive error as Dhoni had only made 11 when, aiming towards mid-on, he was bowled by Liam Plunkett's first delivery Sunday, with the ball reversing in and flicking the front pad before crashing into the stumps.After lunch, England took the new ball as soon as they could, with India 244 for six off 80 overs. Three overs later, Anderson -- man-of-the-match for his batting exploits at No 11 -- had Ravindra Jadeja (31) caught behind. Binny was briefly unsettled by a couple of well pitched-up Anderson deliveries. But having made just one in India's first innings, he quickly regained his composure and a single off Plunkett saw the 30-year-old all-rounder to an 86-ball fifty, including six boundaries.An increasingly assured Binny, the son of 1983 India World Cup-winner Roger, went down the pitch to drive part-time off-spinner Moeen Ali over extra-cover for six. Ali, though, had his revenge when Binny, on 78, was given out lbw but by then his eighth-wicket stand of 91 with Kumar had secured a draw. With India more than 300 runs ahead at tea, Cook gave his frontline bowlers a rest in the final session, thereby easing Kumar's progress to a 114-ball fifty with eight fours. Cook, in a sure sign the match was over as a contest, then brought himself on and, while performing impersonations of several ex-England bowlers, had Ishant Sharma caught down the legside by Prior to claim his first Test wicket.

The Sky Is Blue Even on a Cloudy Day
Daily Om: When we refer to a "beautiful day," we are often describing a day that is sunny, clear, and without a cloud in sight to mar a sky that is a brilliantly perfect blue. We find ourselves bouncing along, light in spirit, free from worries, and enjoying the moment. That is, until the clouds begin to form. The sky may turn grey, and a fog may roll in. Puffs of white take on whimsical, darker shades, and our beautiful day disappears along with the sunshine… or so it seems. A clear blue sky often inspires in us good cheer, bringing on a lighter, more carefree day. We may find ourselves spending time outdoors, breathing in the fresh air, and basking in the warmth of the sun. Yet should clouds appear to wash the sky with shadows, we may let this change of weather decrease our energy and enthusiasm, pulling us into our own cloudy funk. Darker days are just as much a part of life as are the days graced with sunshine. They show us a different perspective of our world, while helping us appreciate the moments of illumination that inevitably follow...read more>>>...

text: Despite the company coming under heavy fire in recent years, it still has a long history of game development that has helped remind people why they enjoyed their work in the first place, and are waiting for them to return to their former glory.----* How can you guys not talk about ''Boktai?!'' For shame, people. This is one of the most ingenious games for the GBA, as it uses actual sunlight to influence gameplay via a solar sensor, so it makes you want to play outside. Not only that, it's just plain awesome and a genuinely amazing game. It has a capturing plot, vicious vampire baddies trying to turn the whole world into undead (Which they probably already had), wonderfully-composed 8-bit sounding music and memorable characters. However, it didn't sell well, making it obscure. Which is a shame, because everyone needs to play this while under the sun.* ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}} Gaiden''. Thought ''Gradius III'' and ''V'' were good? ''Gaiden'', a game made seven years before ''V'' on a 32-bit system, is just as good. What other title takes you through a junkyard of old bosses or a stage that looks like any other ''Gradius'' volcano stage...for a few seconds, [[Awesome/VideoGameLevels before getting sucked into a black hole]]? The ships have some great weapons too. Vic Viper's Double has undergone some un-sucking, Lord British's Disruptor pierces enemy armor, making it ideal for bosses who guard their cores heavily, Jade Knight has splitting Spread Bombs, and Falchion Beta has the forward-firing equivalent of a Spread Bomb. And you can rearrange your power meter, which adds another strategic element to the game; with a well-arranged power meter, you can make recovering out of a death (and by extension, [[ContinuingIsPainful "Gradius Syndrome"]]) much more manageable. It will be a while before we get a ''Gradius Gaiden 2'' or something that will top ''Gaiden''...assuming of course, the series hasn't died yet.* ''Pop'n Music'' is an example of why people who judge a game by its [[AnimationAgeGhetto kiddiness]] can suck it. There's music in almost every genre you can imagine, the larger button setup ensures that you won't get wrist or hand cramps from having your fingers so contorted (at least if you're big-handed, like this troper) like in other {{Rhythm Game}}s, the characters are beautifully drawn and animated, and it both for casual and hardcore players--the former have Enjoy Mode, and the latter have loads and loads of options for {{Self Imposed Challenge}}s.* ''VideoGame/SilentHill1'' and its sequels remain the only games that have forced me to stop playing due to something other than frustration or biological necessities, as it's rather difficult to operate a controller when one is shaking like a leaf in a gale. The most bizarre, unique monster designs in the medium, puzzles that only obey the logic of the warped reality into which you've stumbled, and the fact that the ''entire town'' wants to rape you to death, eat your flesh and wear your face as a hat (hopefully in that order) combine to create the most terrifying interactive experience ever. Rather unfortunate that there's only two sequels.* [[Franchise/MetalGear Metal Gear Solid]].** Hell yeah! No other game has a plot and scenario that engrossing and (on at least two occasions a game) emotionally devastating. The wacky-but-effin'-badass characters, the overarching narrative that encompasses cloning, vampires, enormous mecha, complicated plots, malevolent AIs, ghosts, psychic arms, international assassins, love, loss and battlefield philosophy while handling eternal themes like political corruption, the passage of time, war, the nature of death etc. etc... ** And it cannot be touched for epic moments - each game in the series culminates in several hours of distilled awesomeness, but once you're about 1/5th of the way through VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots}} Kojima pulls out all the stops in order to best conclude his epic. The nostalgic battle atop Outer Haven has GOT to be the greatest setpiece in gaming ever. ** The music! Themes like Encounter, Old Snake, Mantis' Hymn, Debriefing, the Main Theme from MGS 1,2 & 3, and the new one for MGS 4... They're all unbelievably exciting and moving. ** [[{{@/Fly}} I]] think ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2'' was ludicrously ahead of its time, and ten years from now people will be looking back at it and realising it was incredibly underrated. Mind you, I also admit my favourite character in the game is Snake's butt, so who am I to judge?** Hell, [[{{@/RandomFanboy}} I]] loved [=MGS2=] as soon as I played it (Granted, I played the game years [[ItWasHisSled after Raiden and the nutty ending became sled-worthy.]] I thought the over-the-top wangst, the increasingly insane plot and the utterly fucked up final cutscene were all done ''on purpose''. And it was hilarious and awesome. And yes, underrated.** Even if you don't love the spy based gameplay (which is WICKED, BTW), you will LOVE the highly complex story told over all six games. Honestly, it has some of the best, most complex and sympathetic villains I've ever seen - many a gamer has shed tears at the {{Alas Poor Villain}} moments given to Sniper Wolf, Psycho Mantis and the rest, and that's not getting into the Woobies, who you just want to hug. The fact that there isn't even a truly evil enemy at the end was pulled off SO well it didn't feel like a rip=off - it ties in well with the themes. IT's amazing that such a highly complex story can be made with so few jerkass individuals involved (and the several present were hardly in their depth). Some of the battles are the most beautifully imaginative, scripted and choreographed ever - Psycho Mantis totally OBLITERATED the Fourth Wall, and The End is so unbelievably original. Of course, I also love the themes of war and peace, of tragedy and hope, and most importantly, of that little yet wonderful thing we like to call ''life''.** Oh yes, yes, yes. This troper absolutely LOVES Metal Gear Solid. Ever since she first played [=MGS3=] (that was her first in the series), she has been in love. She has finished the games multiple times. [=MGS2=] and 3 are her favorites. (and [=MGS1=], too) No other story in gaming history can ever come close to topping the MGS series.** Try to forget the whole debacle for a moment and let's just look at ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' as a game on its own. Is it good? ''Hell yes!'' If there's a good swan song for the good Konami, this game is definitely it.*** You kiddin' me?! MGSV sucked ''because'' of Konami! (Seriously, who cuts out an ''entire mission'' vital to the campaign?!!)* This page needs more Castlevania! Especially, Symphony of the night.** I second that emotion, Castlevania, as a whole is a great series, even 64 ain't that bad!* The freeware fangame [[http://horrorquest.altervista.org/ Castlevanie II: Dracula's Shadow]] is a strong candidate for most underrated game of all time. The author spent 5 YEARS on this remake, keeping all the good things about Simon's Quest, removing all the bad, and then adding so very very much more. Item crashes, 3 playable characters, a boss-fight at every levelup, and on and on. It's everything you ever loved about the NES castlevanias. If Dracula's Shadow had come out on the NES in the early 90s it would have been an instant classic, but released in 2005 for dos and windows it hardly made a ripple. Even after 5 years it's still obscure beyong all reckoning. A youtube search will turn up only a single ''LetsPlay'' and a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QouE-JHDq0 parody/review]] both of which were posted within the last 4 months.* VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution. Even though Konami made quite a few mistakes with this series, the older games are still fun, addictive, and good exercise on higher levels.* VideoGame/ZombiesAteMyNeighbors, this game is what happens if you take everything good about the survival horror genre, cut out most of the bad, and add in more good! Zeke and Julie deserve a sequel better than Ghoul Patrol!* ''VideoGame/{{jubeat}}''. A 4 x 4 grid, an extensive songlist including both Konami Originals and popular Asian licenses, and focus on getting high scores rather than trying to stay ahead of a LifeMeter provides for a very fun experience for {{rhythm game}}rs old and new. The cabinet itself is very compact, which makes it well-suited for arcades where space for cabinets is at a premium. Sadly, [[NoExportForYou don't expect the arcade versions to leave Eastern or Southeastern Asia anytime soon]]. Fortunately, ports exist for iOS and some Android devices.* Really, Konami's Franchise/{{BEMANI}} franchise is this, and SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove outside of Japan. It says something about their status outside of Asia when even the most diehard Konami fans in the West don't even know what BEMANI is or at least can't name any franchise games besides ''VideoGame/{{DanceDanceRevolution}}'' (which, as great as it is as mentioned above, is far from the only music game Konami produces).* ''VideoGame/{{MUSECA}}'', especially the ''1 + 1/2'' update. It's a RhythmGame with AwesomeArt made by various top-notch Website/{{pixiv}} artists.* Their licensed BeatEmUp games were among the very best when they were released, including: ''Batman Returns'', the ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' series (after the [[SoOkayItsAverage first one]]), and even ''The Simpsons''.* Creator/{{Treasure}}. Its founding members started at Konami; who knows what the company would have been like if they hadn't started there?

Cape Town/ Johannesburg, 29th October 2015 – The Fix the Patent Laws (FTPL) Campaign, today called on the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to end years of pharmaceutical company price gouging and broken promises for patent law reform and produce a final intellectual property (IP) policy and bill to amend the Patents Act.
The coalition released a detailed timeline revealing how broken promises by the DTI, and push back by the pharmaceutical industry have contributed to government's delays in finalising reform of South Africa's patent laws....
CAPE TOWN, 22nd OCTOBER 2015: Yesterday saw another low point in our democracy with the police invoking draconian laws to punish legitimate student dissent. In the aftermath of the chaos at Parliament, which saw students forcing their way into the parliamentary precinct and a harsh and disproportionate police backlash, the police are reportedly seeking to charge several protesters with high treason, in addition to trespassing and illegal gathering. We understand that the National Prosecuting Authority is currently considering whether or not to persue the high treason charges....Read more

There have been a number of Israeli films about the 1982 military incursion into Lebanon and its traumatic consequences for all involved, most notably the devastating animated film, Waltz With Bashir. The most visceral, however, is Lebanon, winner of the Golden Lion at Venice last year and, like all of them, based on personal experiences. It is set entirely within a tank manned by four inexperienced conscripts – the insecure commander, Asi; the trigger-unhappy gunner, Shmulik; the driver, Yigal, youngest of them and forever worrying about his elderly parents; and the loader, Herzel. Their real chief is Gamil, an experienced infantry officer who treats them with contempt.
They receive conflicting instructions from unseen radio controllers. They're told to use illegal phosphorus shells but always to refer to them as "exploding smoke". The tank's crew first encounters the enemy in a field when a car is driven straight towards them and they have to transport the corpse of an Israeli soldier. In a heavily bombed town, they engage with terrorists using civilians as human shields. Hit by a rocket, the tank is nearly incapacitated and the crew is forced to take on board a wounded Syrian prisoner for whom dubious Phalangist allies have their own agenda.
The only time they see the light of day is when the hatch on the turret opens for a dangerous visitor. They see distorted images of the confusion and carnage around them through a periscope that turns everything into a target. The first American astronauts called themselves "Spam in a can" which is just the way these four young Israelis feel, trapped together, alone and isolated far from home, exposed to an infinity of dangers.
Lebanon has been compared to U-boat movies, but the interiors of submarines are relatively spacious and comfortable by comparison. I can't recall a previous picture that never leaves the hot, smelly, smoky, cramped, noisy and (when mobile) juddering interior of a tank. The only thing like it that comes to mind (and may well have influenced the writer-director Samuel Maoz), is Lifeboat, the 1944 movie in which Hitchcock confined himself to the viewpoint of the survivors of a ship torpedoed in mid-Atlantic.
I emerged from this powerful, immaculately acted movie feeling that I'd had some virtual reality experience.

The Beatles had quite the year in 1967, releasing two groundbreaking albums, a critically bashed movie, and discovering eastern religion, so it's really surprising they started the year of 1968 in such a quiet manner, recording only four songs and releasing two of then in a single, one in a movie soundtrack, whilst the fourth tune remained in the vaults for two more years, before finally being released in 1970. But that was all about to change, when in March 1968 the four Beatles and their wives went to Rishikesh, India to study Trancendental Meditation, there picking up with some eastern religion, as well as writing a lot of songs. With a combination of both food issues (which made Ringo the first Beatle to leave), and their spiritual leader's supposed flirting with women inside their meditation place (making George and a disilussioned John finally leave), arriving in Britain with a, depending on the source, 30-45 song batch. So, what did they do? They, along with ever-present producer George Martin decided to release a double album, with the India-written songs, along with others as well. Martin came to regret it, saying that he would rather have it as a single disc of stellar-only material. Oh, the benefits of 20/20 highsight. I don't agree with all the folks that argue for the "single album" idea, because I've many times tried to strip it down into only two sides, and I always ended up with three fantastic sides worth of music. I could easily make others into single entities, such as Exile on Main St. but for me the WA is what it is. Recordings, for the first time, were tumultous: numerous fights and arguments, thousands of takes of songs were recorded, only for the fifth one to be chosen, and things even reached a point in which Ringo left for two weeks, only to return and find his drumkit filled with flowers, and engineer Geoff Emmerick giving up on the project midway and leaving. George Martin "went on a holiday" during the latter half of sessions, with soon-to-be famous producer Chris Thomas filling in his shoes. Probably the biggest elephant in the room (there were many) was the presece of Yoko, which was discussed so many times that me writing about it is unnecessary. Some songs, mostly by McCartney and Lennon, featured only one Beatle at them, multiple studios were used at the same time, making all three studios of Abbey Road occupied. All this chaos and division led the group to the verge of breaking up, but they still managed to record some of their best songs and release their best selling LP. Now, instead of using the old "turn it into a single!" formula, let's try something even more ambitious: what if the White Album was a triple album instead of a double? We can begin by the most obvious choices: the "Hey Jude" single and b-side, some era outtakes (such as the great "Not Guilty" and the weird "What's the News Mary Jane?"), the fourth February '68 song (fits way better here than in LIB), and, you may consider it cheating, but other songs already completed by then that weren't recorded until later, such as "Mean Mr. Mustard" or "The Long and Winding Road". A little bit unfair? Well, sure, but had they agreed on releasing this six-sided monster from the beggining, it's really likely they would record all the mentioned songs for it, since many are even in the Esher demos. I was against using Esher demos themselves, causing the inclusion of solo output, but one excuse had to be made: "Child of Nature", a great song that despite becoming "Jealous Guy", has no real studio version, so it's included. It's sound quality is screamingly different from the songs around it, but we can make the excuse it's a "lo-fi experiment", since bands such as the Velvet Underground were doing that at the time. And there are some limits as well: I will not mess up the tracklisting of the album by throwing the songs on sides they don't belong in, so the bew material will be in a new disc (Sides 1-2 are disc one, new material is disc two, and sides 3-4 are disc three), and considering the strenght of the material available, it won't make that much of a difference. I did exclude some songs, however, such as Goodbye and Sour Milk Sea (given to other artists for recording), Circles (the single most boring Beatle song in existence), in order to make this a listenable effort, at least. We as well restore the album's original art and title, A Doll's House, scrapped when the group Family released their debut Music in a Doll's House, causing our now famous name and cover. Basically, because changing a little is nice sometimes, we stick with the alternate title, and it's psychdelic-like cover, to later be re-used in the compilation Ballads. I as well use some alternate versions found on Anthology for some songs, combined with a fantastic remix of the album with some additional stuff and different things (I'll post a link and a thank you to the guy who made it in the comments), giving us some much needed variety in the albums, after hearing it the same way for 49 years! Listen carefully to the songs and notice all the small changes, it's great. Without further adue, there it is:
Side A
1. Back in the USSR
2. Dear Prudence
3. Glass Onion
4. Ob La Di, Ob La Da
5. Wild Honey Pie
6. The Continuing Story of Bungallow Bill
7. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
8 Happiness is a Warm Gun
Side B
1. Marta My Dear
2. I'm So Tired
3. Blackbird
4. Piggies
5. Rocky Raccoon
6. Don't Pass Me By
7. Why Don't We Do It in the Road?
8. I Will
9. Julia
Side C
1. Revolution
2. Something
3. Every Night
4. Child of Nature
5. Junk
6. What's the News Mary Jane?
7. Look at Me
8. The Long and Winding Rōad
Side D
1. Across the Universe
2. While My Guitar Gently Weeps #1
3. Teddy Boy
4. Mean Mr. Mustard
5. Polythene Pam
6. Not Guilty
7. Hey Jude
Side E
1. Birthday
2. Yer Blues
3. Mother Nature's Son
4. Everybody's Got Something to Hide, Except for Me and My Monkey
5. Sexy Sadie
6. Helter Skelter
7. Long, Long, Long
Side F
1. Revolution #1
2. Honey Pie
3. Savoy Truffle
4. Cry Baby Cry
5. Revolution #9
6. Good Night
In addition to the minor mixing changes explained above, some songs were even swapped out altogether for alternate versions. "Obla-di, Obla-da" is the first of them, being exchanged for the accoustic guitar centered version of Anthology 3. Ringo's first original song, "Don't Pass Me By" now includes the 50-second intro "A Beginning", as was originally intended and scored by Mr. George Martin. And speaking of Ringo, the third change is that of "Good Night", exchanging the sappy orchestration for a more stripped piano version, with the strings only making their presence known in the end. And for our new disc of surprises, we begin with maybe the most obvious choice for the album: the single version of "Revolution", the second time around for this song, but since it is a triple album, we're allowed to have the same song twice, right? Even the Clash did that with the dub versions on side six of "Sandinista", so why can't we? The song is followed by probablly the best song George ever wrote, "Something", that was already complete during the last batch of White Album recordings, but not recorded for, well, George Harrison syndrome reasons. The first Paul song on our new side is "Every Night", began in mid-'68 and finished in time for inclusion on his first solo LP. It does feature some proeminent backing vocals for Linda, but Yoko even sang her own line in "Bungalow Bill", so here's for a bit of McCartney revenge. Song no. 4 is our little lo-fi experiment, "Child of Nature", soon to become "Jealous Guy" in it's original Esher demo format, with background talk and everything. Soon following is "Junk", with which McCartney toyed with for the next two years, before finally settling with it in "McCarntey" in '70. The acoustic existencial crisis of "Look at Me" is next, complete with finger-picking guitar techniques (courtesy of Meditation colleague Donovan), only being released in John's 1970 studio album debut. Probably the weirdest piece of music ever attached to the Beatles name, "What's the News Mary Jane?" is here edited to only feature it's first three minutes. You're welcome, no need to thank me. Being followed by the mellow and overblown ballad "The Long and Winding Road", being the side closer for our brand-new Side C. Side D begins with the gentle and mystical "Across the Universe", oddly enough the only song here recorded before the India trip, here found in it's Anthology 3 version, complete with Indian-sounding sound effects. The second (and last) re-recording here is the "LOVE" version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", with the only instruments featured being the acoustic guitar and the background orchestration. Another recycled India reject is "Teddy Boy", tried out for both the WA and the Let it Be album, before finding it's home in Macca's solo career. "Mean Mr. Mustard" and "Polythene Pam", now part of the Abbey Road Medley, are still bonded here, but instead of just seguing into "She Came Into the Bathroom Window", now "Pam" fades-out, giving it a proper ending, courtesy again of Scott G. Thanks! "Not Guilty" is a strange case: 100+ takes were recorded for it, before it got scrapped for whoever knows the reason. Maybe they just got fed up with it. It is featured in it's Anthology version, but a little surprise was added to it's ending: before Hey Jude begins, 20 seconds of the crazy outro from "WTNMJ?" play, half as a transition and half as a mean jumpscare prank. And what a better way to finish it up than with "Hey Jude", the classic in it's full 7-minute glory? It's featured in it's regular form, and the next two sides, I think, don't need much introduction.
The White Album is a mixture of a thousand genres and moods: it is both joyous, depressing, humorous, creepy and corny, even one after the other sometimes, something all "trimmed down versions" fail to do. A new LP even adds more to that, making the already kaleidoscopic White Album into the schizophrenic A Doll's House.Even the origin of the name fits with the general theme: it is based on the 19th century play by the same name written by Henrik Ibsen, telling the story of Nora, an unhappy woman who leaves her husband and children to lead a new, happier life alone. At this point, it seems all Beatles could be represented by her: repressed people, who would soon spread their wings to their own, individual lifes. A Doll's House is the sound of collapse and breakup, and ever since then, desintegration has never sounded so beautiful.

The hose of the oxygen lancing equipment in LD shop 2 has failed at the weld-bellows interface by reverse bending fatigue. The bending stresses were resulted due to inclined fitting of the hose at the fixed flange end. No metallurgical abnormalities or weld defects or mechanical damages were responsible for the fatigue crack initiation. It is recommended that if inclined fitment of the hose is not a process requirement, the original design be restored to realize the expected life of the component. On the other hand, if inclined fitment cannot be avoided, additional support may be provided for the hose at the fixed flange end to avoid reverse bending at the weld-bellows interface. A detailed analysis of the failure is presented in this report.

text: Soph, how do you like the RM Williams boots? Are they as stylish and generate as many compliments as the others? Are they comfortable? I'm considering ordering a pair for clubbing and for wear in slushy weather. Yes, I think you would be highly pleased. That last/toe shape has been around for 25 years, and there is a reason why, its a classic.

Dog Food Tester
If you ask me, this first odd job definitely skews toward awful. While it'd be great if Rufus could nibble on his dinner and give feedback, that's just not the way it works — and that's why dog food testers exist.
Lucy Postin, for example, was recently profiled in The Daily Mail. She samples every ingredient that goes into The Honest Kitchen's pet food, and "even chows down on the final product — to make sure it tastes just right."
Granted, The Honest Kitchen at least has a "human grade" rating, meaning ingredients are sourced from the human food chain and produced alongside foods you and I eat.
But even other kinds of dog food need to be tasted in order to make sure unwanted ingredients haven't slipped in and to assess quality. Just ask Mark Gooley. He is the owner of a pet food manufacturer and tests doggy dental sticks, chewy bones and liver mixture.

If you run a blog, chances are you are using WordPress. It is a great piece of software and it has some amazing features that help make optimizing your blogs for search engines fast and easy. Here are a few must-haves to SEO for WordPress based blogs.
Sitemap plugin. This plugin will create an XML sitemap of your blog, publish it to your server and ping your ping list. When you update the blog it will auto-update the sitemap and ping your ping list again, letting the search engines know you have fresh content for them to spider.
All In One SEO plugin. This plugin does several things. First, it allows you to quickly and easily change the title tag of your blog. It also lets you change the meta description tag and your meta keywords as well. More importantly it takes your individual blog posts and uses the title of the post as its title tag and it allows you to insert meta descriptions, meta keywords and search tags into the individual posts. This makes each of your posts have a unique and different title tag so they all can be indexed by search engines. This plugin makes the basic SEO setup of your blog very quick and easy and will save you the trouble of having to do all this by hand.
Another thing you want to do is make sure your ping list has relevant sites in it. WordPress with the sitemap plugin installed will auto ping the major search engines, but there are tons of big blog directories out there that you might want to have your blog pinging. If those directories pick up a post of yours it could mean some nice traffic and some great one way links for SEO.
Here is a nice little trick you can use to get your RSS feeds listed in Yahoo. If you create a free Yahoo account you can customize your startup page on Yahoo.com. When you customize it, it add the feeds from your sites to that page. Yahoo will see that someone is adding feeds they don't have in their directory and they will spider them. I have had my feeds listed in Yahoo for a few sites and it is nice free traffic and exposure.

September 12, 2013
Robert R. Lincoln
Portsmouth Chowder Company
124 Heritage Ave, Unit 1
Portsmouth, NH 03801-5645
Dear Mr. Lincoln:
We inspected your seafood processing facility, located at 124 Heritage Ave, Unit 1 Portsmouth, NH 03801-5645 on July 17 through August 2, 2013. We found that you have serious violations of the seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulation, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 123, and the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation for foods, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 110 (21 CFR 123 & 110). In accordance with 21 CFR 123.6(g), failure of a processor of fish or fishery products to have and implement a HACCP plan that complies with this section or otherwise operate in accordance with the requirements of Part 123, renders the fish or fishery products adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4). Accordingly, your refrigerated and frozen clam chowder is adulterated, in that it has been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health. You may find the Act, the seafood HACCP regulation and the Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards & Controls Guidance through links in FDA's home page at www.fda.gov.
Specific violations observed during the inspection include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. You must have a HACCP plan that, at a minimum, lists monitoring procedures and their frequency for each critical control point, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(c)(4). However, your firm's HACCP plan for clam chowder lists monitoring procedures and frequencies at the cook step-lethality (pathogen control) critical control point that do not ensure that the hazards C. botulinum and pathogenic formation are controlled for at this critical control point (CCP).
We have received your revised HACCP plan in your August 20, 2013 response to the FDA 483 issued at the close of the inspection. The revised HACCP plan states your firm will have an employee (b)(4) monitor the time-temperature reached and held at or above (b)(4) Fahrenheit for each pasteurized batch of product cooked in each steam kettle prior to release of the product for bagging and an employee visually monitor the temperature of the product near the end of the filling process. This is not adequate to ensure in process product is continuously maintained at specified temperatures. A continuous temperature recording device should be utilized to ensure that the critical limits that are established by a scientific study during pasteurization have been met. This is a repeat observation from the previous inspection.
For information concerning the hazards of pathogens and Clostridium botulinum toxin formation please refer to Chapters 12, 13 and 16 of the Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards and Controls Guidance: Fourth Edition.
During the December 11, 2012-January 3, 2013 inspection close-out discussion you stated that you would work towards performing a complete temperature distribution study for both (b)(4) steam kettles. You also stated, based on that study, you would install continuous temperature-recording devices with probes in the coldest location of the steam kettles to monitor the pasteurization cycle. Furthermore, you said that you would have to consult with the supplier of the continuous filler machine to identify a location where a continuous temperature monitoring device probe could be installed to measure the hot fill temperatures. This information was not provided during the most recent inspection or in your response to the FDA 483.
We may take further action if you do not promptly correct these violations. For instance, we may take further action to seize your product(s) and/or enjoin your firm from operating.
You should respond in writing within fifteen (15) working days from your receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific things you are doing to correct these violations. You should include in your response documentation such as HACCP and verification records, or other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, you should explain the reason for your delay and state when you will correct any remaining violations.
This letter may not list all the violations at your facility. You are responsible for ensuring that your processing plant operates in compliance with the Act, the seafood HACCP regulation (21 CFR Part 123) and the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation (21 CFR Part 110). You also have a responsibility to use procedures to prevent further violations of the Act and all applicable regulations.
Section 743 of the Act (21 U.S.C. 379j-31) authorizes FDA to assess and collect fees to cover FDA's costs for certain activities, including re-inspection-related costs. A re-inspection is one or more inspections conducted subsequent to an inspection that identified noncompliance materially related to a food safety requirement of the Act, specifically to determine whether compliance has been achieved. Re-inspection-related costs means all expenses, including administrative expenses, incurred in connection with FDA's arranging, conducting, and evaluating the results of the re-inspection and assessing and collecting the re-inspection fees (21 U.S.C. 379j-31(a)(2)(B)). For a domestic facility, FDA will assess and collect fees for re-inspection-related costs from the responsible party for the domestic facility. The inspection noted in this letter identified noncompliance materially related to a food safety requirement of the Act. Accordingly, FDA may assess fees to cover any re-inspection-related costs.
Please send your reply to the Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Diane M. Prince, Compliance Officer, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, One Montvale Avenue, Stoneham, MA 02180. If you have questions regarding any issues in this letter, please contact Ms. Prince at 781-587-7442.

Created after the 1992 Rio conference, Comité 21 aims at implementing sustainable development in organizations, companies and territories. It has been a forerunner in engaging sustainable development issues amongst various stakeholders in France. This unique network counting more than 500 members bases its action on multi-actors partnerships, operational action and innovation with more than 130 businesses (multinational companies and SMEs), 185 local authorities (city councils, departments and regions), 185 NGOs (environmental, development, local solidarity, human rights…), 32 public institutes and higher education institutions. UNEP and UNDP are also members by right.
Within its three programmes - Corporate Social Responsibility, Agenda 21 for territories, Education to sustainable development – Comité 21 conducts various thematic working groups, training sessions, offers technical and methodological tools for its members, broadcasts information and values good initiatives. It also published reference works (in French) : "agir ensemble pour le développement durable", guide "Agir ensemble pour des territoires durable" ; "Guide du marketing responsable, guide "De l'école au campus", etc.
In order to enforce its ability to anticipate issues, Comité 21 produces regular prospective reports (on various issues such as the environmental crisis, green cities, the Agenda 21 action plan, Rio+20). Comité 21 also produces an interdisciplinary scientific journal, Vraiment Durable, which provides various points of views like those of philosophers, scientists, artists, researchers, but also experts or entrepreneurs.
Comité 21 has been thoroughly involved in the Rio +20 Conference by drafting a manifesto on territorial governance. It has also set up various events during the Conférence, organized a delegation trip for 150 French actors who participated to the Rio Conference, and coordinated a national event in Paris La Villette where newly elected President François Hollande gave its first speech on sustainable development, in front of over a thousand representatives of the civil society.
Regarding international issues, Comité 21 is coordinating the activities of the "Club France développement durable". This club gathers 60 networks that got together on the occasion of the Rio+20 Conference and who decided to continue collaborating in order to contribute directly to the success of the World Conference for Climate (COP 21) in Paris in 2015.
Convinced that sustainable development is at the crossroad of both horizontal and vertical approaches, but also global and local scales, Comité 21 particularly promotes engagement with stakeholders and good governance. All types of orgnisations are involved in sustainable development (companies, NGOs, territories…), therefore Comité 21 develops a broad network gathering all those actors, on a national scale, but also regionally, Comite 21 Pays de la Loire being its first regional representative office in Nantes.

Bucs affiliate could land at new WVU stadium
West Virginia University is set to open a new baseball stadium in 2015 -- and an era of professional baseball in Morgantown, W.Va.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2014, and the stadium is expected to be shared by the Mountaineers and a New York-Penn League affiliate.
"The New York-Penn League is thrilled to announce its intent to bring a professional baseball franchise to Morgantown," New York-Penn League president Ben Hayes said during Tuesday's news conference at WVU Coliseum.
The prospect of a new stadium in Morgantown has spurred speculation that the Pirates would be interested in housing a Class A affiliate there.
The Pirates declined to comment.
After a six-year association with State College, the Pirates signed a two-year agreement in September with Jamestown.
Hayes said neither the Pirates' New York-Penn League affiliate -- Class A Jamestown (N.Y.) -- nor any other league team has applied to relocate to Morgantown.
Hayes said there are "three or four" affiliates that are candidates for relocation.
"I don't think it would be a good idea for people to speculate about Jamestown being the club," said Hayes, who wouldn't name the possible teams. "That's not necessarily going to happen."
There are 14 teams in the New York-Penn League for the 2013 season. Jamestown will play in the Pinckney Division with Auburn (Nationals), Batavia (Marlins), State College (Cardinals), Mahoning Valley (Indians) and Williamsport (Phillies).
The proposed stadium has a financing plan that received state approval but has not been finalized, WVU deputy athletic director Mike Parsons said.
"There are some legislative steps that need to be done," Parsons said. "The bonding capacity has been approved for the tax-increment funding. It needs to go through the House of Representatives. Once the house approves it, the governor needs to sign it. There are also some administrative things that need to be done. It will need to be approved by the WVU Board of Governors."
WVU currently has two-year agreements with baseball stadiums in Charleston and Beckley. Parsons said that wouldn't prevent the Mountaineers from moving to the Morgantown stadium in 2015.
"We can get out of the contract," Parsons said.
Four New York-Penn League clubs share facilities with colleges and universities. State College, for instance, is affiliated with the St. Louis Cardinals and shares a facility with Penn State.
A new stadium would be an upgrade for West Virginia, which is playing its first season in the Big 12.
Fellow conference member Texas has a baseball facility seating more than 6,500 spectators with chairbacks on more than 5,000 seats and covered seating throughout most of the stands. In 2005, Texas' baseball stadium underwent an $18 million renovation.
Hawley Field has been West Virginia's on-campus baseball stadium since 1971.
"If you look at college baseball in the last 20 years, every time a program has built a facility like this, the program has made an immediate jump," first-year WVU baseball coach Randy Mazey said. "This is probably the single biggest event to happen in Morgantown baseball history."
