Rostraver Township orthodontist Rinchuse deals in smiles
Dara Rinchuse knew from an early age that she was destined for a career in orthodontics.
"This is my dream job," she said. "I grew up in my father's and uncle's orthodontic practice, stamping charts when I was in kindergarten. By age 16, I was sold."
When her father was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, with a dreary long-term prognosis, Rinchuse was determined to keep the orthodontic practice alive while her father battled the disease. She spent the last year of high school working in the practice.
Today, her father, Donald Rinchuse, is the program director, and her uncle, Daniel Rinchuse, is the associate program director of the orthodontic department at Seton Hill College in Greensburg.
Dara Rinchuse has grown up in a family immersed in the dental field.
Her mother, Angela, is director of the dental hygiene program at Westmoreland County Community College. Her aunt, Rita Aloisi, is a dental hygienist.
So it was a natural that Dara Rinchuse went into the dental field. She recently opened her orthodontic office on the third floor of WillowPointe Plaza.
The office, called "Orthodontique," was designed for more patient privacy. It is close to home for the Rostraver Township resident.
A 2000 graduate of Belle Vernon Area High School, she earned a psychology degree at California University of Pennsylvania in the fall of 2003 and a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Pittsburgh, in 2008.
In 2010, she graduated from residency at the Jacksonville University School of Orthodontics, where she received a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study, becoming an orthodontic specialist.
Dara Rinchuse teaches graduate orthodontics at Seton Hill University Center for Orthodontics. She gets satisfaction from making a difference in people's lives.
"I got to watch how much braces affect people," Rinchuse said.
She recalled one little girl, a patient who was picked on by her classmates because of the condition of her buck teeth, before braces.
"I think we can change people's lives," Rinchuse said, "by fixing their smiles."

Q: What do you call a hot dog with
nothing inside it?
Two guys immigrate to America. On their first day off the boat
they are wandering around New York City seeing the sights. As lunch
time approaches they decide they are hungry. They then come up to a
street vendor selling hot dogs.
One says to the other in a shocked tone, "My God. Do they eat dogs in America?"
"I don't know!" says the other, equally appalled.
"Well," says the first, "we're going to be Americans, so we must do as they do."
They approach the vendor bravely. "Two hot dogs, please."
The vendor hands them their food in a pair of paper sacks. The two immigrants
sit on a park bench to eat their lunch. One looks inside his sack, hesitates and
turns to his partner and says, "Uh, which part of the dog did you get?"
A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He sidles up to the bar and announces, "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."
Q: What do get when you cross a chili pepper, steam shovel, and a Chihuahua?
A: A hot,
diggety dog.
What does a man
consider a seven-course meal?
Two Scottish nuns have just arrived in USA by boat and one says to the other, "I hear that the people of this country actually eat dogs. "Odd," her companion replies, "but if we shall live in America, we might as well do as the Americans do." Nodding emphatically, the mother superior points to a hot dog vendor and they both walk towards the cart. "Two dogs, please," says one. The vendor is only too pleased to oblige and he wraps both hot dogs in foil and hands them over the counter. Excited, the nuns hurry over to a bench and begin to unwrap their 'dogs. The mother superior is first to open hers. She begins to blush and then, staring at it for a moment, leans over to the other nun and whispers cautiously, "What part did you get?" HEE-HEE!!!
Knock Knock who's there? Lettuce... Lettuce who? Lettuce in and we'll tell you!

text: Ben Walsh All 9 Syracuse mayoral candidates answer questions about city's toughest problems By Tom Magnarelli • Jun 21, 2017 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO News Listen Listening... / 3:39 All nine Syracuse mayoral candidates participated in a forum this week. It was a crowded stage that produced a wide range of different answers. Syracuse mayoral candidate Ben Walsh on the Campbell Conversations By Grant Reeher • Jun 3, 2017 WRVO News If there was ever a year that an independent candidate might stand a chance of election in a local race, this is it. Dissatisfaction with the two parties and with politics as usual is at a high-water mark. This week on the Campbell Conversations, host Grant Reeher speaks with independent Syracuse mayoral candidate Ben Walsh. The two discuss the issues facing the city, where leadership of the city has gone right and wrong in recent years, and why Walsh is an independent rather than a Republican, like his father and grandfather. CNY school superintendent announces run for mayor of Syracuse By Ellen Abbott • Jan 27, 2017 Ellen Abbott / WRVO News Listen Listening... / 1:53 Republicans believe they have a candidate in place that can put Syracuse City Hall back in GOP hands. Laura Lavine, currently the superintendent of the LaFayette School District announced she's running for mayor Thursday. Ben Walsh, former city hall staffer, running for mayor of Syracuse in 2017 By Tom Magnarelli • Dec 29, 2016 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO News Listen Listening... / 1:53 As a new year begins, mayoral candidates in Syracuse are looking towards the 2017 election, since Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner cannot run for reelection because of term limits. State audit of Syracuse Industrial Development Agency produces list of concerns By Tom Magnarelli • Feb 18, 2016 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO News Listen Listening... / 2:08 Last month, the state comptroller's office released the results of an audit of the Syracuse Industrial Development Agency with a list of recommendations to improve how it operates. Agency members are disputing some of those recommendations. New grocery store in struggling Syracuse neighbhorhood expected to get tax agreement By Tom Magnarelli • Feb 4, 2016 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO News The Syracuse Industrial Development Agency has approved a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes or PILOT deal for a Price Rite grocery store to be built on the city's southwest side. The area being developed has been described as a "food desert" for decades and the grocery store is meant to give people access to healthy and affordable fresh food. In a show of the different levels of government coming together, Ben Walsh, the executive director of the Syracuse Industrial Development Agency, said the grocery store is moving forward thanks to help from the state, county and city. City of Syracuse coming up with plan for broadband improvement By Ellen Abbott • Jun 18, 2015 Bret Jaspers / WSKG News file photo The city of Syracuse is moving ahead with a strategy to improve access to broadband for businesses and residents. The problem is there aren't enough affordable, high speed internet broadband options for residents or businesses in Syracuse. And that means that Syracuse isn't competing on a level playing field with other cities when it comes to economic development, says Ben Walsh, Syracuse's deputy commissioner of neighborhoods and business development. Hotel Syracuse pilot program will help restore landmark to its former glory By Ellen Abbott • Aug 25, 2014 George F / via Flickr Syracuse lawmakers agreed to a pilot program Monday that will ease the tax burden for developers renovating the historic Hotel Syracuse. City Deputy Commissioner for Development Ben Walsh says this is a big step in moving the project forward. "The project is complicated, and frankly, as expensive as this, it needs as much certainty and predictability as possible," Walsh said. "And that's what the pilot provides. It provides a certain payment for a period of time when the hotel is most vulnerable in it's initial years of operation." City seizes Hotel Syracuse through eminent domain By Ryan Delaney • Jul 3, 2014 Ryan Delaney / WRVO The City of Syracuse has used legal channels to take control of the Hotel Syracuse after several efforts to redevelop the historic downtown lodging site have failed. Syracuse and its economic development arm, the Syracuse Industrial Development Agency, transferred title of the property to the site's developer, Ed Riley. Environmental review of Inner Harbor project underway By Ellen Abbott • Jun 24, 2013 Ellen Abbott/WRVO Syracuse City Hall is taking the next step in the development of the Inner Harbor. The Syracuse Industrial Development Agency has started the environmental review portion of the project, that would bring residential and commercial traffic to Syracuse's Inner Harbor. Syracuse agency hopes change in rules means more business for regional contractors By Ellen Abbott • Jun 19, 2013 Ellen Abbott/WRVO Local contractors and suppliers will get a boost from a new policy in the city of Syracuse. The Syracuse Industrial Development Agency has adopted new rules when it comes to developers who are supported by the agency. They have to buy local, so to speak, says SIDA executive director Ben Walsh.

The converter supports:
You can set the ambient light for your sector adding properties to the max level. Clicking on File>File Properties. Select the Custom Tab, enter this data:
Name: red / Type: Text / Value: <enter the value from 0 to 1>
Name: green / Type: Text / Value: <enter the value from 0 to 1>
Name: blue / Type: Text / Value: <enter the value from 0 to 1>
If you do not specify these values, the engine will use it's default of red=0.2 green=0.2 blue=0.2
To add positional lights you should add 'Omni' lights. There are the
only ones supported by the exporter. To place a new light click on Create->Lights->Omni.
To have the same effect in PlaneShift and in 3DSMax you should define your
omni light with these parameters:
Under "General Parameters" you should have "Diffuse" and "Specular" checked, "Ambient Only" UNchecked.
Colors can be defined in the RBG or HSV sections of the light.
Mutiplier is supported. Normal light intensity in PlaneShift can go from 0 to 1, if multiplier is used then it can go beyond 1.
The maximum range of the light is defined by the value of "Far Attenuation End" in Attenuation menu. This is considered also if you no attenuation is used (see below).
"Near Attenuation" IS NEVER used, the exporter simply ignore the setting.
If in section "Far Attenuation" the checkbox "Use" is NOT checked, then the light will be defined in PlaneShift with parameter "No Attenuation", so light will be costant up to the maximum radius.
If you want attenuation to be used, then check the "Far Attenuation" box, and insert the radius value in "End" field. Leave Start at "0".
Dynamic Lights:
Lights can have a dynamically changing color. If this is the case, read the "Export Lights" chapter or more info on how to define hue changes.
Lightmap cell size:
Every illuminated object has a lightmap associated. A pixel in the lightmap is created for every cellsize x cellsize pixels of texture size.
Example: Using a size of 32, 1 pixel in the lightmap will be created every 32x32 pixel in the texture.
Bigger cellsize means that less lumels are created to describe the illumination of an illuminated polygon this means less used ram but less defined shadows.
You can set the Lightmap cell size value with this procedure:
Clicking on File>File Properties. Select the Custom Tab
Enter this data:
Name: lightmapsize
Type: Text
Value: <enter the size, e.g. 16 or 32>
Click on Add.
If this entry is not specified the engine will use CS default (that is 16).
Auto On/Off based on Threshold:
Lights can be turned automatically on or off based on the value of another light (controller). This is used to turn on house/street lights at night and turn them off at sunrise. To enable this feature you must abide to these constraints:
- the light that will turn on/off must not be dynamic, it should have a fixed light color during the day/night cycle.
- the controller light must be named 'crystal' and should be dynamic. This light will be affected by other factors like rain. So depending on its intensity value will control the on/off of other lights.
- there must be only one controller light for each sector.
- All lights that should turn on/off must have these parameters set in the Custom Properties tab:
for RGB range is from 0 to 1, fade is expressed in msecs.
In the example above lights will turn off when the 'crystal' light is >0.2 and will turn on when the 'crystal' light is <0.2
Lights with same RGB threshold values are packed in one event for the game, so performances will be better if you give lights same threshold values.
Lightning: The engine now support a brief sequence that simulates a lightning, this sequence will be triggered randomly by the server in all the sectors with the lightining property set. To enable it :
Click on File>File Properties. Select the Custom Tab
Enter this data:
Name: lightning
Type: Text
Value: yes
This command allows you to export the light information that will be used by PS engine to render lights at different times in the day.
Select PlaneShift->Export Lights.
Please note that:
The first 24 frames are used to get the light colors when the sun shines and no rain is present. The frames from 25 to 48 are used to get the light colors when the is heavily raining so the sun will be obscured by clouds and rain. The engine uses those extreme values to find the good ones when it's raining at 20%, 50%, etc...
If you set the animation length to be 24 frames, then shining sun condition and heavy rain condition will have the same light color values.
Next: Sectors and Portals

Lawyers for two lobby groups are challenging a decision made by Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott.
In the High Court on Monday, they said his ruling to give Cambridge University permission to build a testing facility had been a "foregone conclusion".
They want the decision quashed - even though the plans have now been dropped.
On Monday, Neil King QC, for Animal Aid and the National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS), said planning permission was granted "regardless of the outcome of a public inquiry and expert reports".
But permission was still given when Mr Prescott overruled the planning inspector and approved the facility "in the national interest".
The two groups believe the decision, made in November, was "perverse, unreasonable and unfair".
Even though Cambridge announced in January it would not be building the facility because of the general costs involved, the lobby groups are concerned the permission would be valid for five years.
This would, in theory, allow the university to change its mind and opt to proceed after all.
Mr King said Mr Prescott's conduct following the planning inquiry was "plainly unfair".
'Acting under dictation'
He argued the deputy prime minister failed to consider all the evidence which was put before the inspector, including evidence from the animal rights coalition.
"It must be plainly unfair on the claimants if the secretary of state has copies of the evidence submitted to the inquiry he can refer to, but he didn't have ours," he said.
Mr King added that there were genuine alternatives available to primate research but Mr Prescott did not engage those arguments.
"The reasons he gave for granting permission are that Lord Sainsbury (the science minister) said this is of national importance."
Mr King said this was a sign Mr Prescott failed to properly consider if there was a real need and "surrendered his independent judgment by acting under dictation".
Government lawyers will defend the decision.

When a grim game with few chances is decided by an own goal in the dying minutes, it's best not to try and gild the lily about the entertainment level of the match in question.
And Melbourne Victory boss Kevin Muscat didn't try to pretend as he dissected his side's 1-0 win over a defensive Sydney FC - save to say that as the team that tried to make the running, the result went the right way.
"It probably wasn't the prettiest game to watch. We were trying our hardest to make it exciting and entertaining. I thought the three points should have been ours.
"Ultimately there was one team trying to win, one team trying not to lose. There are many ways to play the game. We were trying to win, they came trying not to lose. Of course it's justice," said Muscat when asked about the conclusion.
The Victory boss was pleased with the application and attitude of his team, saying that their discipline in preventing Sydney's sporadic attacks was good and their thrusts down the right flank, mainly through Kosta Barbarouses, were excellent.
"We had to defend a hell of a lot of long throws, free kicks. We had to fight and match them in those contests.
"It's difficult to break a team down when there are a lot of bodies behind the ball."
"They are not easy games to win. Our fans expect us to attack, it's in the DNA of the club. We are going to try everything to win, tonight we found a different way."
Sydney boss Graham Arnold refused to feel sorry for himself and his team.
"You could say it was bad luck losing to an own goal. It was two very good teams who went at each other.
"We came with a plan to make sure we had players behind the ball ready to defend. I thought it worked very well until the own goal.
"It's only our third loss of the season. We have been doing exceptionally well. You make your own luck as well. They had their game plan, we had to try and nullify it - there are two ways of playing football without the ball and with the ball."

The good bad economy
The good bad economy
Good news: The Connecticut Department of Labor says the state's unemployment rate dropped to 7.6 percent in November, due in large part to a surge in retail sales.
Bad news: The Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis, at UConn, reports that the jobless rate would be 11 percent if thousands of people hadn't left the workforce since mid-2010.
Good news: The Labor Department estimates that the state has recovered nearly 64,000 positions — more than half the jobs that were lost during the 2008-10 recession.
Bad news: That doesn't make up for the more than 64,000 people who have "simply stopped looking for employment."
Good news: That 7.6 percent jobless rate is down from 7.9 percent in October and 8.3 percent in November 2012, the department told The Connecticut Mirror recently, and the rate has declined for three straight months.
Bad news: The UConn economic think tank says the 7.6 figure is "superficially encouraging" but "misleading" because of how much the workforce is shrinking; It is "a smoke screen on the true situation" and, "in large measure, an artifact of declining participation."
Good news: Education, health services and financial activities saw growth from October to November.
Bad news: Other key sectors of the economy declined, including leisure and hospitality, manufacturing, professional and business services.
Good news: Trade, transportation, utilities, construction and mining all added jobs in November.
Bad news: That still makes this, at best, "a slow, moderate recovery."
Good news: The state's economy recovered more than 4,000 private sector jobs in November alone, said Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
Bad news: He also said: "We still have much work to do."
Good news: "We are making steady progress at growing our economy in a way that will create good paying jobs with good benefits for middle-class families," the governor said.
Bad news: He also said: "But if you haven't been able to get one of these jobs, then you're not feeling the impact of these changes."
Good news: Unemployment "is at its lowest level since 2009," said a Malloy spokesman, with "the largest gains in private sector employment since the late 1990s."
Bad news: There are "deeply discouraging budget projections," said the center, that "promise a return of large deficits to the state's operating budget within two years."
Good news: Connecticut could create up to 28,000 new construction and related jobs over the next two years if it can launch projects worth just half of the amount on its backlog list of state building projects that have been approved but not yet started.
Bad news: That backlog list amounts to some $6 billion, and labor unions have argued that agencies overseeing such projects are understaffed and are also backlogged.
Good news: "November's strong job growth offset some declines in the third quarter," said a Labor Department spokesman, "returning us to the positive, though modest growth path we have seen throughout 2013."
Bad news: That's about all the good economic news there is right now.

Tuition fees 2013-14
Fees information for continuing students
When you re-enrol on your programme at QM for the 2013-14 academic session, you will be sent an invoice for your new tuition fee charges.
Below are links to the tuition fee schedules which set out the fees which will be charged in 2013-14 for continuing students. By re-enrolling you are agreeing to the terms and condition set out in the Tuition Fee Regulations for 2013-14.
It is important that you read the regulations in the section below as there are a number of changes for the 2013-14 academic session.
More information about how to re-enrol is available on the Re-enrolment web pages: www.arcs.qmul.ac.uk/students/study/enrolment/index.html.
Below are links to information about the tuition fees for 2013-14 for your level of study:
Undergraduate fees
Tuition Fee Regulations 2013-14
The Tuition Fee Regulations for 2013-14 for all students are available below:
This year's regulations include the following changes:
- The Fees Office will begin sending out invoices to continuing students in August. Fees are due prior to re-enrolling. If you are a self-funding student you are required to pay your fees in full prior to re- enrolling or set up an agreed payment plan with the Finance Department to complete payment by 31 January 2014. There is an additional charge of £50 to set up this payment plan for all students except undergraduate Home/EU students. However, if you decide to pay the tuition fees in full on or before re-enrolment you are entitled to a 1 % discount if your fee is £7,500 or more. Undergraduate Home/EU self-payers are not eligible for this discount, but may be given an extended payment plan in exceptional circumstances. If your fees are being paid in full by the SLC then you will need to provide the Finance Department with a copy of your support notification. If you are being sponsored by a recognised sponsor then your fees will be due seven days from date of invoice.
- If you are an Undergraduate Overseas fee payer who is returning to your studies in 2013/14 after resitting out of attendance or interrupting in 20120-13, you will be charged the rate for the cohort you are joining. This means your fees may increase by more than inflation if the cohort behind you were charged a higher rate when they first joined.
- Fees for taught postgraduate students on a part-time or variable mode of study entering the 2nd year of their programme have increased by inflation except in cases where the new student rate is lower, in which case the new student rate will be charged.
- If payment is not made in full by 31 January 2014, you will be de-registered.

The CTID is the location on disk of the tuple, so no, it doesn't change while you are running. However, if you're running in isolation mode "read committed", then someone else could update the tuple while you're looking at it. In this case the tuple will appear to vanish and the updated version will appear elsewhere with a new CTID. Whether this is a problem or not depends on what you're using it for.

On July 7th 2005, my brother (Andrew Abernethy) was onboard one of the Tube Trains involved in the London Bombings. He suffered numerous wounds and needed medical attention to remove shards of glass from his body. However, he was ultimately one of the lucky ones. Upon finally escaping from the tube, he was one of the first to give an interview to BBC television and radio. Many of you saw or heard that interview, both in the UK and overseas, and got in touch to express your concern. Thank you for that.

LME copper edged up on Friday from two-month lows hit in the previous session, but was heading for its biggest weekly loss in eight months on worries about the US central bank's commitment to its accommodative monetary policy.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange rallied 0.81 per cent to $US7923.75 a tonne by 3am GMT (2pm AEDT), recouping some losses from the previous session, when it hit its lowest since December 24 at $US7813.50 a tonne.
Copper prices suffered on Thursday their biggest single-day slide for 2013, losing year to date gains of nearly 5 per cent by early February to fall into the red. Prices are set for a drop of more than 3 per cent on the week, the steepest fall since early June.
The most-traded May copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange rose 0.07 per cent to 57,700 yuan ($US9200) a tonne.
"The question is what percentage of the copper price is propped up by free money. If equity markets fall one per cent, then all of a sudden people walk away, you have to wonder how much of different asset prices is propped up by excess liquidity," said Matt Fusarelli, an analyst at Australia-based consultancy AME Group.
Even a steady improvement in the world's top two economies, China and the United States, which make up about half of global demand, won't be enough to ignite copper prices, which AME Group expects to end the year at $US3.30 a pound ($US7275 a tonne).
Asian shares edged higher on Friday, recouping the previous day's steep losses, while weak data from the United States and Europe clouded growth prospects, limiting gains.
The dollar traded near a 5½-month high against a basket of currencies on Friday, on doubts over just how long the US Federal Reserve will keep its quantitative easing in place.
US Federal Reserve officials are likely to press on with their bond-buying stimulus program even though some harbour growing concerns the purchases could fuel an asset bubble or inflation if pushed too far.
Still, a raft of US economic data on Thursday from claims for jobless aid to factory activity and consumer prices pointed to a still tepid recovery and supported the argument for the Federal Reserve to maintain the stimulus.
President Barack Obama spoke to Republican congressional leaders on Thursday in the first sign of movement to head off across-the-board government spending cuts that could take effect in a week.
In Asia, traders were interested in buying copper intraday, although with much of China's industry yet to ramp up from Lunar New Year, any rebound next week could prove fragile, they said. "I would be a buyer at these levels," said one.
Trade volume on Friday was a solid 4600 lots by 3am GMT after more than 33,000 lots changed hands in the previous session, the third highest turnover in the past year for three-month copper.
"While the complex looks well wounded and many are expecting further weakness, the right kind of buying has begun to emerge and we would think the complex won't fall much further," RBC Capital said a note. "Trying to catch the proverbial falling knife is always a challenge and we are just starting to see the bulls emerge, so we would expect volatility to remain elevated for some time."

Zimbabwe's historic first Test series in Australia is only a day old and already the Africans can say they, like the most of the cricket-playing world, have been on the end of a lavish and potentially spirit-breaking century from Australia's powerful opener Matthew Hayden.
Hayden, who scored his 15th century in only his 45th Test, made an unbeaten 183 to help Australia to 3-372 at stumps at the WACA Ground in Perth yesterday. It put Zimbabwe in need of an amazing comeback to save the Test, and constructed a sturdy stage for the first leg of Steve Waugh's anticipated farewell tour of Australia.
The uncontainable Queenslander will resume this morning, looking to overtake the 203 he scored in Chennai in 2001, while Waugh has already quietly amassed 61 of the runs he will need to make his first WACA Ground century in what he has hinted heavily will be his last Perth Test.
The crowd, short of 8000, stood and cheered Waugh heartily to the crease after Damien Martyn's first Test innings since breaking his finger seven months ago was cut short on 53.
The 38-year-old Test captain, who has scored a century in every other city, wore a thick black arm band paying tribute to the people killed in the Bali bombings a year ago.
As an expression of solidarity, the Zimbabweans, too, wore black arm bands to mark the anniversary of the terrorist attacks - a gesture notably less political than the statements of Andy Flower and Henry Olonga at the World Cup early this year.
Hayden, who at first appeared to be batting with a mild back complaint that kept him from sweeping with his usual abandon, was immovable after surviving an early lbw appeal from opening bowler Andy Blignaut. He hit hard and straight, taking 210 balls and 308 minutes to reach his ton.
If he had seemed controlled rather than explosive to that point, Hayden then cut loose, dispatching both of Zimbabwe's slow bowlers, Ray Price and Trevor Gripper, over the mid-off fence for six in a manner that captured the sense of gruesome inevitability about this series.
Two hours of aggression followed and a rude introduction to Test cricket in Australia for the tourists. Within 35 minutes of reaching his century, Hayden had plundered five more boundaries and another six to raise 150.
His innings summoned memories of the imperious century with which he opened last summer's Ashes series in Brisbane, a knock that signalled the beginning of England's unravelling. Zimbabwe's inexperienced bowlers toiled diligently but from tea largely resembled stunned animals blinking before Hayden's unrelenting brilliance.
Young seamer Sean Ervine emerged with the relatively respectable figures of 2-56 from his 17 overs, and for his third wicket in Tests claimed the precious scalp of Hayden's partner in crime, Justin Langer, for 26.
After an unusually unfocused beginning with the ball from captain Heath Streak, who won the toss and sent Australia in with the hope of extracting some early life from the wicket, the Zimbabweans adopted a strategy of containment that they probably knew would last just so long.
Streak conceded 21 from his first three overs and promptly replaced himself with Ervine, who coaxed Langer to nudge a ball in the direction of his off stump and watch, powerless, as it grazed and dislodged a bail. Ponting made a slow and steady 37 before stumbling across a straight ball from Ervine and falling lbw. Martyn played as if he had never been away, leaning productively through the covers, until Gripper procured an edge to first slip, which Craig Wishart first fumbled but ultimately clutched to his chest. Streak finished with the less flattering figures of 0-82 from his 18 overs. In the face of an obvious discrepancy in talent and experience, the visitors have pointed all week to their resilience and fight. It will be sorely tested today. Waugh, who played a more subtle innings than his partner yesterday, nevertheless produced seven fours and an enormous six. He will wake up this morning to the familiar, buzzing speculation about his Test future, 39 runs from the full set of Australian Test hundreds.

The talented quartet are among a number of young aces who will feature for Warriors in two games that conclude the pre-season schedule this weekend against Ulster Rugby (Friday) and Droitwich (Saturday).
Worcester skipper Sanderson believes part of the key to success for the young players is the work rate and desire they have to improve.
"People like Tom, James, Alex, Matt and many more have come into the team and are now settled in the squad, now we will see the best of them," said Sanderson.
"What is important is that we have the right sort of people with the right attitude coming through. They are hungry, hard working, hard-nosed and uncompromising.
"They are a big piece of the jigsaw and another year on they will only be better for Warriors."
One player being tipped for another impressive season is centre Alex Grove, who has also broke into the Scotland senior set-up in the last 12 months.
But his development has come as no surprise to Sanderson and his team-mates at Warriors.
"People talk about how much of a surprise Alex Grove's development has been - but that doesn't surprise me at all," added Sanderson.
"What people don't see is how much work he puts in behind the scenes, how hard he works at his game. When these guys get an opportunity they take it - it doesn't surprise me one bit.
"Our Academy always consistently produces people like that, players who work hard at their game and when they get the breakthrough they don't pass it up. If anything, with people like Alex Grove, you only see an increase in work rate."

Opening comments:
"We're excited to be here. You know you've been coaching too long when one of your former players is in the media and looks older than you do. We're excited to be here. There were times early in the season when people wondered if we were going to be in any tournament. Right now you have the post season NIT and 13 other tournaments. We didn't know if we would be in any of them.
"We have a great group of guys that throughout the course of the year tried to get better in each and every practice. It was our goal when we started, when we went to practice a little while ago over at Rockhurst [High School], was to try to get better. Down the stretch we won eight of our last 10, and nine of those games we played pretty well. Last home game against Duke, didn't play well. They whacked us pretty good.
"Our team is excited about being here. They've never really been in this position where they're major contributors for a team in the NCAA tournament. Reggie [Bullock] started for us last year after Dexter [Strickland] got hurt, but everybody else, this is a first time experience for them. We're excited about being here and hopefully we'll play well."
All the years you were at Kemper, what do you think of the Sprint Center? First time here?
"I've never been out on the court. I hope it looks a helluva lot better than this part does. There's not very many great media rooms in the world, but there's some beautiful facilities. I've heard great things about it, but I literally have not walked out on the court yet. Watching the tournament on TV, some things that have happened the last two or three years, everybody says it's a great venue. The locker room looks great. My guess is it will be fantastic when we get out there."
I'm sure for a coach it's a privilege to get here, whatever the path. You did take a different path this year. Normally in your career you've coached a lot of inside out, big men. Has it been an interesting challenge to coach this way with the four guards, more much a perimeter team?
"That's a good way to put it. It's been interesting and it's also been scary because it's not something I have been comfortable with. Most coaches develop a philosophy, a style that they stick with most of the time. If you've done it for 25 years as a head coach, you're probably not going to change very much because you dance with who brung you kind of thing.
"It was a major change for us, it was something I was not comfortable with. I'm still not comfortable with it. Your job as a coach is to just not let things go. You have to keep trying things to become more successful. At Miami, they whacked us about 150 points or something like that. We spent a lot of time in the locker room when the guys were in with the media, the next day on Sunday. We felt like we needed to do something because it wasn't working.
"P.J. has really added a great deal to us offensively. He's a good defensive player as well. He's just not as big. Our rebound numbers early were good, but the most important, W's and L's, were not very good. But going small, we've been able to spread the floor a little bit more, open up some things offensively. Other teams have turned it over a few more times than we were earlier. That's helped us getting the break going.
"We have not done a very good job of rebounding the basketball last 10 or 12 games, however many it's been. We added some things in one area, but gave up some in another area. It has been interesting, but scary, too. It's probably been good for all of us, including the coaching staff."
Does it become easier in college basketball to win with a freshman point guard than it used to be?
"I don't know that it's ever easy to win, period. I know it's not easy to win with a freshman point guard because there's so many things he hasn't seen.
"Last year halfway through our season we knew we would have Marcus, Kendall Marshall, it was going to be a great scenario. Marcus would learn from him. Be able to do some things, be able to avoid the extreme highs and lows that a freshman goes through so much more than anyone else.
"I've played a lot of freshman point guards. Greg played with us at Kansas. Jacque Vaughn, coach for the Orlando Magic, played a heck of a lot and started as a freshman; Aaron Miles started as a freshman; Jeff Boschee started freshman; Kirk Hinrich started as a freshman; Ty Lawson started after the first five games as a freshman for us at North Carolina.
"It's been done, but it's not easy by any means. We're a little more complicated than other people. I give the point guard more responsibilities than other people. I knew with Marcus that I had a kid who was very intelligent to begin with, but had great basketball savvy. It was probably easier for him than it would be a lot of other people."
You mentioned a couple familiar faces that you've seen. Have you given any thoughts to what kind of reception you expect tomorrow?
"I really haven't. We've been a little busy trying to win a game. For me, University of Kansas and Lawrence was a great 15 years of my life. I've said it this way before: I gave my heart, body, and soul for 15 years, and I loved it.
"When I went back to North Carolina, it was a very emotional thing. It's a very emotional thing when I didn't go the first time, and it was when I did go the second time. I'll use this analogy. A guy stopped me in the airport, said, Coach, I just wanted to say hello, but I wanted to tell you I'm a big time Jayhawk fan. I said, I am, too. He walked off. Went down a couple gates, came back a few moments later and said, You surprised me.
"I said, I was there 15 years, had wonderful players that I loved, it was family and always will be. It's not immoral to love two institutions. When I was a coach at Kansas, it was my favorite school. North Carolina was my second favorite school. I happen to be coaching at North Carolina now, and it's my favorite school and Kansas is my second favorite school.
"I realize some people were upset when I left. Hopefully time is going to cure a lot of those problems. College basketball, we've got enough to worry about without worrying about whether they're going to clap or boo when I come out. 19,000, I'm all right then. First time we went and played at Kentucky, I was booed by 24,000. Regardless of how bad it is, it's not going to outnumber that."
You had pretty good luck for quite a while in your career having guys stay around maybe an extra year. That has not been as much the case recently. How hard an adjustment has that been for you?
"It has changed the whole culture of college basketball. We lost 11 guys to the NBA draft in the last eight years, early, not counting some of the seniors. It's very difficult.
"In 2005, we lost basically the entire starting club. Won the national championship, came back the next year, we were still okay. In 2009, we lost four of the five starters. The next year we were not very good. We kept getting guys hurt that year, too. So it added to it.
"The landscape has really changed. You almost have to recruit like you're a junior college and understand you're lucky if you have a guy more than one year. I think we understand that. It's still been difficult. Last year mid season I thought we were going to lose two guys, we ended up losing four. There's no way you can replace that at the end of the year.
"It's what it is. It's sad to me because I'm a college basketball fan. I'm a college basketball guy. In some ways college basketball has become just a bus stop for a lot of people. The worst thing is, it's become a bus stop for a lot of families and everybody else that think their son should be leaving. So it has made it difficult, yeah."
You briefly referenced the '05 game with Villanova. Villanova fans still remember that call at the end of the game. What do you remember about it? Was that your closest call on your way to that '05 national championship?
"I just remember I thought it was the greatest call I'd ever seen, that kind of thing. No. I remember there was one a couple before that that I almost lost it myself. It's typical of what goes on in college basketball. I remember they played great. We got our point guard in foul trouble. He fouled out. We had our backup point guard that made two big free throws for us. That was a big time game.
"You know, that year in '05, I was trying to think quickly here, we had a big time game with Wisconsin, as well, big time game with Villanova, Michigan State we were down at halftime, Illinois in the national championship game it was tied with four minutes to go. All of our games that year down the stretch were pretty difficult. '09 when we won it, we didn't have any close games. Won every game by 12 points. I like that part better, to be honest with you.
"Villanova has been successful. I may miss this, I hope not, eight of the last nine years they've been to the NCAA. Jay does a great job. I tried to call him yesterday, trying to get on his good side. I was going to try to give him a real good restaurant here in Kansas City to eat. But that game was a big time game for us, no question."
Could you talk when you went to the four guards, you shoot the three very well, rebounding has been affected a little bit. What are a couple strengths with this team with this lineup, and a couple things this team has struggled with, as well?
"Well, the positives: we do have a lineup a lot of times where we have three really good three point shooters out there. James Michael is not a low post player. He's a guy that drives us to the basket and gets the 12 to 15 foot shots. If you have guys that can stretch the defense, you help James. Dexter is the guy who puts the ball on the floor and drives the ball to the basket.
"I think we've also defensively been able to get a few more turnovers with this lineup, and that's enabled us to get our fast break going. On the negative side, we don't block any shots. We block the same number of shots that I would block, that's about it. We do a terrible job rebounding the basketball.
"It has been good for us. We made the decision to try something to see if the positives outweigh the negatives. So far we think they have. But there's no question that it's give and take. But that's what coaching is. What you're trying to do is put the puzzle together. Sometimes the pieces don't actually fit completely, so you have to change the puzzle a little bit or change the pieces a little bit. We tried to get our best five basketball players on the court, and thought that would give us the best chance to win."
Looking at the minutes, could you comment on your bench. I see a lot of games you play 11 guys. Outside of Leslie McDonald, those minutes are limited. Describe what your bench gives you right now.
"It depends from game to game. If they give us something when they get in, they get another chance. I always felt like when you make substitutions, you can help us if you don't hurt us. So give us something positive.
"I picked on Greg [Gurley] there when Greg played for us at Kansas. Greg didn't start, but he could shoot the dickens out of the basketball. As a matter of fact, I said something like that the other day. My players never even heard that. They didn't know what the dickens it was. When Greg came in the game, he gave us something. If he made a shot, I let him play some more. If he missed a shot, Greg, come over and sit beside me a little more.
"Leslie's gonna play. One of the big guys is going to play because we need to go big at some point during the game. I made this statement the other day. I do not care about you personally during the game; I care about our team. I am not going to do something just to please you and not be fair to everybody else. I'm going to play the guys who I think is going to give us the best chance to win.
"After the game, off the court, I do care about you personally. If you go out there and screw it up twice in a row, expect for your rear end to come out. I think I'd be unfair to the other kids if I keep putting you out there and you keep screwing it up. I'm not the smartest guy, but I'm sure not the dumbest guy either."
You've downplayed your role in this late season turnaround. This is the second year in three years that you've made a switch mid season that was significant and really helped the trajectory of the team. How do you think you've seen your coaching style and philosophy evolve over the years, if you think it has?
"I think it's changed all the time because players change. There's things I believe in that I got from Coach Smith. There's no question about that. But players change, so you got to change your style a little bit. Hopefully in college you can recruit guys that you can believe that play the style you want to play, but sometimes you're surprised, or sometimes guys get hurt, or sometimes it just doesn't work.
"I think you have to be willing to make changes. It's not comfortable for me. I like to pick five guys and say, You're my guys, these other two or three are going to play a lot. If you want to change that, you got to beat those guys out. But sometimes you do have to make changes. I'm one of the most stubborn guys you've ever known, but sometimes you need to be a little more intelligent than that."
In your study of Villanova, what impresses you most about them?
"It's strange, I watched the St. John's game, Marquette game. Steve Robinson's watched five or six so far. We still have some time before 6:00 tomorrow.
"They're a balanced team. They can shoot the ball, but they can also score inside. They can drive the ball to the basket. They can rebound it. The first part of the Marquette game, they were so good defensively it was ridiculous. That's the thing that jumped out about that right there, how good they were defensively.
"In the St. John's game, they would turn it over. I would say, All right, we have a chance. Then they would make St. John's turn it over as well. I think the balance of their team, there's not one thing that you can take away that will make a major effect on the outcome of the game. You can't say, I've got to do this to Pinkston or this to Bell, if I do that, the game is going to be ours. I think they're a difficult team to guard, and I think that's part of it, too."

CADDIS Volume 2: Sources, Stressors & Responses
Ways to Measure Insecticides
Methods for measuring insecticides can be found in EPA 40 CFR 141.24 or via the listing: Analytical Methods Approved for Drinking Water Compliance Monitoring of Organic Contaminants, as well as the National Environmental Methods Index . Methods used for the analysis of insecticides normally encompass a multitude of organic analytes which can be analyzed using the same method (e.g., EPA Method 1699, used for the determination of selected organochlorine, organo-phosphorus, triazine, and pyrethroid insecticides in multi-media environmental samples by HRGC/HRMS). Insecticides may be concentrated from water and pulses of insecticides from applications or spills may be captured by using semi-permeable membrane devices .

Shaler junior earns 2013 National Globechanger award
Alexis Werner, a junior at Shaler Area High School, will join an elite group of young people recognized for making a difference in the world.
On Wednesday, March 6, Werner will be presented with the 2013 National Globechanger award for her work with Seeds of Hope, a student-led organization she co-founded to raise awareness of issues veterans face upon returning home.
"I'm still trying to comprehend it," Werner said about receiving the award. "There's no other way to explain it. There are so many great teenagers doing so many great things, to be at the top is amazing because I'm nowhere close to where I want to be."
Werner is one of three young people being presented with the award, sponsored by the Jefferson Awards for Public Service, founded in 1972 to recognize community service, and the only high school student.
"We are looking for kids who are making a difference and what they are doing jumps off the page," said Diana Sherbacow, national director of the Jefferson Awards. "Globechangers is really about young people who have an idea and take that idea and take it regionally, nationally or globally."
Werner helped to start Seeds of Hope in 2011 to create "victory gardens" to benefit veterans and their families with fresh produce. Werner was inspired to reach out to the veteran community after seeing her mother's and stepfather's experiences returning from the Air Force Reserves and active Army duty, respectively.
"It's not always easy coming home," Werner said. "It's not like you see in the movies."
Since the program started, it has expanded to create more awareness for veterans' issues. The organization is working to publish a children's book, organize fundraising events and create a documentary of veterans' stories.
Werner and the Seeds of Hope program has garnered regional attention and awards since it started, but this is the first time the program will be honored on the national level.
"She has done such a tremendous job, she has come up through the ranks in our students initiatives," said Dana Resciniti, regional director of the Jefferson Awards for Public Service. "She is the perfect example of how our student initiatives work … and what one student is able to accomplish."
Werner said she hopes the Globechanger award only will propel the program forward toward her goal of taking Seeds of Hope national.
"I want it to be a national program," she said. "I want it to be in as many states as want us."
Werner will be recognized and receive a Globechangers award medallion at an awards ceremony held at The Pierre Hotel, in New York City.

On Saturday, Flat Out will attempt to improve his
Belmont record to 4-for-4 when he carries the Preston Stables colors in the Grade 3, $150,000
Westchester for 3-year-olds and up.
Westchester will be Flat Out's first
start at one mile since he was second in the Grade 2 Monmouth Cup last
July. His Suburban victory came at 1 1/8 miles and his Jockey Club Gold
Cup wins came at 1 ¼ miles.
After defeating Stay Thirsty by a head in the 2012 Jockey Club
Gold Cup in October, Flat Out finished a distant third in the Breeders'
Cup Classic in November at Santa
Now 7, Flat Out finished fourth in his 2013 debut, the Grade 1 Donn Handicap in February at
Park, then raced evenly to finish fifth, beaten four lengths, in the Grade 2 New Orleans Handicap on March 30. Both the Donn and the
New Orleans were at 1 1/8 miles.
Junior Alvarado, who rode Flat Out for the first time in the
New Orleans, will have the assignment again in the
Westchester. Flat Out, whose Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott won last year's
Westchester with To Honor and Serve, will depart from post position 3 at 7-2 on the morning line.
Flat Out will be challenged by a trio of recent optional claiming winners in Big Screen,
Bridge, and Cross Traffic.
Dogwood Stable's Big Screen, second in the 2012 Calder Derby,
has won two of three starts in 2013. He annexed an entry-level optional
claimer by six lengths in January
at Gulfstream
Park, then was runner-up when stepping up a level in February, also at Gulfstream.
Taken north, he cleared the second allowance level when he
posted a 9 ¼-length score in an Aqueduct Racetrack optional claimer on
March 23. He received a Beyer Speed
Figure of 110 for the performance, tied for second among all races at
one mile or less so far in 2013.
"We gave him some time off over the summer to take care of some
minor issues, and he came back a lot stronger and more mature," said
trainer Tom Albertrani. "Hopefully
that will be the key to him this year. He was very impressive [in
January at Gulfstream], and that was a one-turn mile. I think he can be
effectively at one turn or two. We feel like he's on top of his game
coming into the weekend."
Irad Ortiz, Jr. will ride Big Screen, the 3-1 morning-line second choice, from post 7.
Mill House's Rattlesnake Bridge took a Gulfstream optional
claimer by a head on March 30, his first start since finishing ninth in
the 2011 Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Classic.
Prior to the Breeders' Cup
Rattlesnake Bridge won the
Long Branch at Monmouth
Park and placed second in the Grade 1 Travers at Saratoga Race Course and third in the Grade 2 Pennsylvania Derby at Parx Racing.
"The crazy thing is he never had any surgery," said trainer
Kiaran McLaughlin. "That says a lot about Mill House. We tried to give
him time off, he bruised a cannon
bone, we brought him back, he bruised a cannon bone, we brought him
back. It's nice that they were patient, and he's doing great."
Bridge, 5-1 on the morning line, will depart from post 5 with Jose Lezcano aboard.
Cross Traffic, a 4-year-old, is the least experienced runner in the
Westchester, having made two starts to
date, both triumphs at Gulfstream. After debuting a 1 ¾-length winner in
January, the son of Unbridled's Song took an optional claimer by 7 ½
lengths on March 10 despite racing greenly.
"He's an exciting kind of a horse," said Michael McCarthy,
assistant to trainer Todd Pletcher. "He had a great work the other day
[5 furlongs in 1:00.45] on the training
track. Last year, he couldn't seem to get over the hump, had a couple
of little things, and it was decided to regroup. The time he was here he
touted himself as a pretty nice sort of horse."
Javier Castellano has the call aboard Cross Traffic, the 5-2 morning-line favorite who drew post 2.
The Pletcher stable also entered Mordi's Miracle, second in the
Grade 3 Excelsior on the inner track on March 23. Chris DeCarlo was
named to ride Mordi's Miracle, who
drew the rail post and was tabbed at 10-1 on the morning line.

Britney Spears Still 'Tenuous'
Los Angeles Court Commissioner Reva Goetz has determined that Britney Spears' mental condition is too "strenuous" to dissolve father Jamie Spears' conservatorship over her estate.
These findings were issued after Goetz and lawyers for the Spears family spent 90 minutes in a closed-door hearing yesterday.
Britney and her dad were not present. Wal-Mart had a good deal on Slushie machines.
"It's my understanding that her condition is somewhat tenuous," Goetz stated. Goetz also said that Britney is to undergo "additional testing in the not too distant future."
Despite laying off partying, focusing on her singing career and positive reviews for her two appearances on CBS' How I Met Your Mother, it seems Britney still has a ways to go.
Goetz might also have take into consideration Britney's recent vacation time in Costa Rica at loony bigot Mel Gibson's home, running about on the beach with her agent, Jason Trawick.
Possibly sexually gratifying your rep to keep the TV roles a-flowing might not be seen as rational behavior. Or maybe Brit's more in charge of her career than we know!
But Britney's probate attorney Samuel Ingham agrees with the commish.
"In fact it could be harmful to her to participate [in her own legal affairs]," Ingham said.
It sounds like Jamie won't have to go back to slinging lasagna at weddings anytime soon.

text: i mentioned in another topic, which no one responded to, that there is a barneys new york clearance sale going on in santa monica. i asked if anyone had any info on the barneys private label suits; apparently not. i have just returned from there and i bought a beautiful three-button suit with side vents and what the salesman told me was super 120s cloth made by marzotto lab (never heard of it). it is a medium gray with light gray stripes and i love it. btw, while i was there i tried on a $3500 isaia and i told myself "this is how a suit should be made." the shoulders have no padding, the angle is slightly sloped, so it looks truely natural, and the shoulder seams are actually on the shoulder, where they belong, bellissississimo. the size 40 fit me perfectly, whereas i like the size 38 on all the other suits. one day i will get one just like it- on sale-of course.

The sun blazed brightly above Manly Beach, as well it might over this paved playground of bronzed surfers, beach bums and low-rating breakfast TV shows.
Home now, too, of the most powerful politicians in state and nation: Premier and Prime Minister, and soon a prince as well. The eye of the political maelstrom has suddenly focused on this pristine stretch of Sydney. It's the hot chip in a flock of seagulls.
A short stroll joins Tony Abbott's Manly electorate office to that of new NSW Premier Mike Baird. On a shop counter on Wednesday was a leaflet boasting a "premier's message" from Barry O'Farrell – a sign of how fortunes ebb and flow.
The new Premier and the Prime Minister are members of nearby Queenscliff Surf Life Saving Club, an ominous tiding for those sick of seeing politicians in Speedos. Mr Baird once barrelled over Mr Abbott on a wave. And on Friday, the beach was due to host the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, during a surf life-saving demonstration.
Former premier Kristina Keneally once dubbed Mr Baird "the Fresh Wave from Manly". Now the suburb is full of top conservatives.
Further afield, Sydney's north has emerged as the gridlocked epicentre of state and national politics. On the lower north shore are new Deputy Liberal leader Gladys Berejiklian (MP for Willoughby) and federal Treasurer Joe Hockey (North Sydney). By the sea sit Mr Baird (Manly) and Mr Abbott (Warringah). Further north is the siren song of federal Speaker Brownyn Bishop (Mackellar).
"We not only have a Bishop and an Abbott living on the peninsula but a Prime Minister and a Premier as well," crowed resident Robert Hinds, 80. "We're very honoured."
As Mr Baird was anointed, Manly local Emma Clymer, 34, pushed a pram along the promenade. "I guess it's good because it brings the community together," she said. "It would be exciting for Manly if they would improve the parking." Manly had other problems, she said – too many bargain shops, too many surf shops, too many tourists. And now, perhaps, too many politicians?
The latest census shows Manly as home to apartment dwellers, Scots and South Africans. A relatively godless area (despite Mr Baird's Christian soul) of well-paid public transport users and new political leaders.
"It's got a good balance of lifestyle and beaches," said local photographer Murray Fraser, 35. He cheered Mr Baird's appointment ("Good on ya, Mike! Bloody legend"), but admitted being "a bit of a swinger". "I think the last two elections I voted Greens," he said.
On Manly's emergence to state and national prominence, he was nonplussed. "I like Mike, but I don't think it really makes any difference to Manly. It's surprising, though. It's a big country – you'd think it would be a bit more spread out."

If precious stones are a girl's friend, then precious stones made from peanut butter are too much to deal with. His verdict: The ordinary consumer will certainly never ever, ever manage to market a precious stone for anything near exactly what he or she paid for it, considering that the worth of gemstones is wrapped up in the smart control of global supply as well as, just as notably, in the psychological control of consumers aiming to express their unequaled love for each other with an engagement ring. http://worldsdiamondcollection.wordpress.com is an outstanding website for a good deal more specifics. Attempt bringing those feelings back to a treasure dealership, and you'll get, as Epstein kept in mind, maybe 50 cents on the dollar.
There are a lot of shapes comprised by a lot of precious stone cutters around the world, as well as from those the most usual ones are the round (dazzling) cut, the princess cut, the cushion cut, the oval cut, the marquise cut, the heart-shape cut, the emerald cut and the pear cut. But there is a factor Coster Diamonds cut the most essential precious stones around the world such as the Koh-I-Nor and also the Cullinan. The less usual or more preferred a gemstone is, the much more its worth at a specific time.
The Hope gemstone has left the Smithsonian simply 4 times since it was donated. In 1962 it was exhibited for a month at the Louvre in Paris, France, as part of an exhibition qualified 10 Centuries of French Fashion jewelry. In 1965 the Hope gemstone traveled to South Africa where it was displayed at the Rand Easter Program in Johannesburg. The weight of the Hope precious stone for several years was reported to be 44.5 carats.
The Amsterdam Ruby Museum is honored to offer free entrance to any person with a Museum Card or a I Amsterdam Card. The TradeScreen is upgraded continuously as precious stones are contributed to or eliminated from the system. RapNet Excel add-in integrates RapNet diamond lists within Microsoft Excel, enabling you to effortlessly handle your supply. The Rapaport journal is your main source for diamond rates and also market info. Zimbabwe has just recently held a global precious stone conference.
Does it cycling smoothly?) Furthermore, a precious stone is more than exactly what is defined by the 4Cs." Though my good friend recognizes that he was in component handling his very own feelings, he didn't intend to shed any sort of sleep over his investment by enhancing expense over confidence." Which's the point. To also start to contend, Blue Nile would need to develop a bodily retail network, keep diamond supply, and invest in significant, continual advertising initiatives. Uncut diamonds could be gotten in many ways.
Treasure Diamonds picks a limited variety of its high end precious stones for reducing and brightening for its very own account as well as outsources the computer system analysis and also production of these to some of Antwerp's leading diamond production company. Today announced that they have actually signed a memorandum of recognizing for a joint venture to establish as well as supply high-quality, lab-grown, fancy-colored diamonds to the treasure rock and also jewelry market. The locket chain consists of 45 white rubies.
