Seven Seas Mariner - Alaska: Seven Seas Mariner Cruise Review by dbmacruise
Overall Member Rating
Seven Seas Mariner - Alaska
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Vancouver
Departure was in Vancouver, a wonderful city. We flew in the night before so we didnt have a lot of time. If you book a hotel independently, I can highly recommend the O Canada House B & B. Friendly, well appointed, good breakfast and a great location. We took advantage of the hop on/off trolley to get an overview of the city and check out Granville Island. We found some great places to eat in the West End just off English Bay (Denham/Denman street). It is very casual with tons of choices. We went for greek in a place that seemed popular with locals Olympia. It isnt much to look at, but had some good saganaki! Also down the street is a place called Cupcakes (need I say more), dont miss the coconut cupcake with cream cheese frosting.
Ship: Rooms were More bigger/better than your average cruise (and some big city hotels as well). My last trip was on Seven Seas Voyager, so I did notice the Mariner basic room was smaller than Voyager but it is still comfortable with plenty of space. The shower was still the tub with a European-style shower head on a tube a bit inconvenient if you are over about 5ft 7. Lots of closet space for all the stuff you probably will over-pack (I know I did).
Food was excellent. We tried dinner everywhere and had great meals in Compass Rose, Signatures, and La Veranda. I think La Veranda was my favorite because it is a little more casual and the antipasti bar is a meal in itself. Signatures was also delicious from the truffle butter to the chocolate bon bons: presentation, service and food all excellent. Compass Rose also had great meals the two nights we ate there. It also seemed to have more of the bigger tables so you could sit with some other fellow passengers. We met all sorts of really interesting, nice people this way. Lattitudes fell short of expectations. The appetizers and dessert were well prepared, but the main dishes were overdone a bit and didnt match the quality of the other locations. We seemed to end up at the pool grill each day (even though it was a bit chilly they have some blankets poolside:) The Cajun chicken sandwich and blue cheese burger were both good bets. Breakfast in La Veranda was also good with lots of choices. The water refills were a little slow, but that is really the only service issue we ever noticed.
This itinerary had all sorts of things to do too much in fact, it was hard to choose. Our first day was at sea and there were lectures (be sure to catch the onboard anthropologist talk about Alaska she was great and does commentary up in the observation lounge during the trip as well), cooking demonstrations, wine tasting, art lectures (interesting with a bit of soft sell leading up to the auction), etc. Dont miss the hot chocolate up in the observation lounge!
Service Excellent! That pretty much covers it. Everyone is friendly and seems genuinely welcoming and always ready to chat. They work extremely hard and are always so gracious. Be sure to catch the staff show at the end of the trip we found this very entertaining and was a big hit with the audience! Other entertainment was fine some talented individuals (particularly the musicians at various venues) but the production numbers are a bit cheesy better than your average cruise, but not quite ready for Broadway/West End.
Disembarkation was a bit of a hassle. They got us off the ship first thing (all very efficient and friendly no problem there). Then the transfer service dropped us at the airport so early that we couldnt even check luggage for an hour and a half - very frustrating and a disappointing way to end the cruise. It would have been nice to have been able to catch a later transfer or to have had the option to add on some kind of 2 hour trip around Anchorage or at least an arrangement with the airport to let us check-in early so we can arrange our own trip into town. Alaska itinerary: Every port has sooooo many good options for things to do! General Tips: Bring binoculars (its the only way to get a close up view of a lot of the wildlife you will see, and glaciers as well). A close fitting hat (baseball hats will blow away in the wind) and coat it was very chilly near the glaciers and up on deck when the ship was moving. Bring layers a waterproof overcoat and a fleece pullover are good bets. Also if the naturalist or the schedule mentions that the ship is passing a point of interest get up to the observation lounge early! It fills up quickly. You should probably also bring your coat it is usually easier to get a good view on the upper deck. This is particularly true for the Hubbard Glacier day. Always keep that camera handy as well.
Ketchikan was our first stop and perhaps my favorite. There is a town walking tour/map available in the tourist office. We spent our morning wandering through shops Creek Street is very cute and worth a walk around (you will see 75% of these shops again, in every port). We also walked up to the totem pole center and the salmon hatchery/eagle center. They have two injured eagles that they care for its a great chance for a close up look, but believe me you will LOTS of eagles around each port. In the afternoon we booked a floatplane out to Misty Fjords. It was absolutely stunning and the floatplane was great to ride in. They do bounce a bit from time to time, but not badly and the scenery up there is amazing. They landing is so gentle and it was fun to get out and stand on the float. There are lots of vendors in the visitor info center if you dont want to book through the cruise ship. We booked through Regent since the return time was pretty close to the time we were supposed to be onboard. (I hear the zip line excursion was great as well, no time to try it though)
Tracy Arm this is a beautiful area. If you can sign up for the ship excursion that picks you up right on the ship, do it! The catamaran is a good size and a smooth ride. They have both indoor and outdoor viewing areas with plenty of room to move around. There are also enough snacks to last about 2 days! We got closer to the glaciers than the Mariner could, even though there was lots of ice so we didnt get too close. We could see both Sawyer and South Sawyer glaciers and lots of seals out on the icebergs. We also got a good look at the bear the captain was great about stopping to check out points of interest and wildlife. We also saw some sea lions and a whale on the way up to Juneau. The crew was great, with some fabulous live commentary! The catamaran lets you off right on the ship and you should have time for an afternoon excursion as well (as long as it is after 1:45).
I didnt see a lot of Juneau went right out for a helicopter ride to Mendenhall Glacier. I booked independently (although it was the same one the ship offered). The helicopter wasnt as interesting to me as the floatplane. They really cram you in, so it is hard to get a good view if you are in the middle seat. It is also a really quick ride (the basic version other versions may have been more interesting). It was really cool (literally and figuratively) to get out on the glacier, even if only for 15 minutes. I still had time on return to head up the Mt Roberts Tramway. This is a little pricey, but there are some hiking trails and amazing scenery up there. Also another place where they have an injured eagle out for visitors to get a closer look at.
Skagway was a cute town. It wont take long to explore but there are some great restored buildings and the usual bunch of shops. The White Pass train ride was pretty cool more interesting than I thought a 3 hour train ride would be actually. We saw 2 more bears really close up and got a very distant view of one of the mountain goats. Lots of snow still early in the season which made for stunning views.
Sitka is another great town to explore. I enjoyed our walk around town and the tour at the Bishops House. It feels more like a place that people live than some other stops. While there are plenty of shops, they arent all the same touristy jewelry shops you see in every other port. You definitely notice the Russian influence here. The afternoon Sea Otter and Wildlife Quest was great as well. We went in the afternoon so they brought us directly back on board the ship right on schedule. We saw lots of sea otters, sea lions and eagles. We also saw a couple of whales. Less

Still No Word From Arrested Chinese Artist Ai Weiwei
The big news yesterday: Ai Weiwei, the designer of the Birds' Nest Olympic Stadium who since stumbled into the crosshairs of the Chinese government, was arrested on April 2 as he attempted to board a flight from Beijing to Hong Kong. Beijing police raided his studio at the same time, confiscating computers and detaining Ai's wife Lu Qing as well as several studio assistants. This is perhaps the most high-profile detention yet in has quickly become a ruthless crackdown on political dissidents in China.
Though Lu Qing and company have since been released, there remains no word of the artist's own whereabouts. The spokesperson for Beijing police refuses to comment, or even acknowledge that they are holding Ai. In China, standard procedure for detaining a suspect requires that police inform the suspect's family within 24 hours. The long period of silence is a worrying signal, suggesting that the Chinese government is willing to suspend rule of law — even for a figure as well-known as Ai — in order to maintain political stability.
From the AFP's interview with Lu:
"As he was being detained, police came here with a search warrant and searched everywhere," Lu said by telephone.
"They took the computer, computer disks and other materials. They refused to say why the search warrant was issued or why Ai Weiwei was taken away."
Several of Ai's assistants were also detained for questioning on Sunday, but later released, said Lu, adding that she was not under house arrest.
In an interview with ARTINFO, documentary filmmaker Alison Klayman, who has spent two years in the company of Ai Weiwei for her project, Ai Weiwei: Never Say Sorry, called this newest arrest an "escalation":
Certainly over the last two years while I have been friends with him and filmed him he has had encounters with police in Sichuan and with authorities in Shanghai and Beijing. The way that this current incident was orchestrated though, it feels as if they really thought through how to respond to him…[T]his case does feel a lot different. It was very coordinated. At the same time that they detained him, they also raided his studio. While they were doing so, they didn't permit anyone else to record. And he hasn't been able to communicate since the detention. So, the authorities know the way that he operates, which is all about transparency and documentation. And they really want to make it so that he can't operate in this way at all at this moment.
France, Germany, England, and the US have since called for Ai's immediate release. We're hoping for news from Mr. Ai soon.
Meanwhile, watch a preview for PBS' new feature on the artist — Who's Afraid of Ai Weiwei?.
UPDATE: You can now watch Ai Weiwei's TED presentation, where he says he hopes his art "encourages a new generation of people use Internet to be aware of the real situation … [that] we are very much indignant of truth, facts — which are mostly covered up by government media.":
See more of "Who's Afraid of Ai Weiwei" at PBS.

Master Alex had a good idea for a reality TV show.
Here's mine. Think Survivor without the silly voting and faux wilderness.
Take the roughest areas of South Boston, the Bronx, South Central, any urban city that's got a big chunk of urban blight.
Then take a group of people who thought they were going on a show where they'd get to marry a millionaire or pick from 50 gorgeous chicks, and, put them in a three piece Brooks Brothers and drop them with no money, weapons or ID at the toughest interesection in town, then let the cameras roll.
I call it When Humans Attack.

Stocks discussed on the in-depth session of Jim Cramer's Mad Money TV Program, Friday July 15.
Game Plan: Halliburton (NYSE:HAL), Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB), IBM (NYSE:IBM), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG), Core Labs (NYSE:CLB), PPG Industries (NYSE:PPG), VFCorp (NYSE:VFC), Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT). Other stocks mentioned: Bucyrus (NASDAQ:BUCY)
Cramer outlined the game plan for the coming week:
Halliburton (HAL) should report a good quarter, and if it does, Cramer would buy Schlumberger (SLB) before its report on Friday.
IBM (IBM) is a cheap stock which Cramer would buy Monday, and if the stock gets hit, he would buy more.
Apple (AAPL) will probably surprise The Street the same way Google did last week. Cramer is more worried about missing the next move in Apple than about its fundamentals.
Bank of America (BAC) will probably report terrible news with huge losses and major write offs.
Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) has risen 125% in a year and is probably not finished going up, not least because commodity prices have gone down while prices were raised.
Core Labs (CLB) refines oil and gas in the ground even before drilling. Carmer predicts a terrific quarter, but he would wait to buy it after it reports, since the stock tends to fall after earnings.
PPG Industrials (PPG) is immunized against Washington because of business overseas.
VFCorp (VFC) is constantly misunderstood, but Cramer expects excellent results, especially with the fall of cotton prices. The stock might get hammered, in which case, investors should buy it.
Schlumberger, as mentioned above, should be bought ahead of the quarter if Halliburton reports good news on Monday.
Caterpillar (CAT) is the best play on the need for more infrastructure and minerals. Cramer wants to hear about how the Bucyrus (BUCY) acquisition is being integrated.
CEO Interview: Bryan Jordan, First Horizon (NYSE:FHN). Other stock mentioned: JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM)
While Cramer urged viewers to stay away from banks and that JPMorgan's (JPM) good quarter was an exception rather than the rule, he would consider taking a look at regional banks like First Horizon (FHN). The company is one of the best at improving its structure and closing lower value branches. The stock is down 19% since January, even though the fundamentals are strong; it is simply a good house in a bad neighborhood. Bryan Jordan confessed frustration at the fact that the stock price has fallen, but says he is staying focused on the long-term. The company is benefiting from the improving economic situation in the Southeast and a 5% increase in consumer lending. Jordan says the company will be disciplined in its future acquisitions
"He's giving it all he's got," Cramer said of the CEO, but added that Washington is taking down the good banks along with the bad.
Google (NASDAQ:GOOG)
While analysts were bearish on Google (GOOG) going into its earnings, the stock shot up 68 points or 13% after its report. The company was too cheap before it reported, but is it still too cheap? In its last earnings call, the company was accused of losing its focus, of overspending. However, Google's investment in its company paid off with revenue rising 36% over 29% last quarter. This was accomplished even after Google raised salaries and hired new workers. Google is still the king of search and internet advertising with an 18% rise in the cost per click and a 12% increase in clicks. While it seemed like Google was late to the social media party, Google will likely be the search engine of choice for social media. Google Chrome already has 160 million users and GooglePlus has 10 million subscribers in only a few weeks. The stock trades at a low multiple of 12 compared to its 17.8% growth rate. If the multiple increases to 15, the stock could trade at $740, which is Cramer's new target for the stock.

After Installing the option "Enhanced Security" in the Thinkvantage tools I get this error on each restart:
"There was a problem connecting to the TPM (security device) on this computer. It is possible that anti-virus or firewall software is blocking the connection. A missing or disabled device driver could also cause this problem. Please refer to the online documentation for more information."
I already did what other topics suggested, make sure TPM is enabled in the BIOS, reset the security settings, uninstalled antivirus, etc.
TPM is enabled as far as I can see from the Intel Management and Security Status
There is also an option EnableTPM inside the Cliente Security Solution folder after installtion inside the Lenovo program folder and when I open it it gives the option to disable TPM and says its enabled already.
So what is causing this issue?
I think I downloaded the Client Security Solution or Password manager directly from Lenovo website and it gave an error about being 32 bits, I think or i suspect some files or drives are still in the system, and this must be the reason.
If someone can tell me a way to remove or wipe all Client Security files I can try to install it again from the ¨Think Vantage tools.
I really need to use the password manager. If someone can help me, please I appreciate it.
Try enabling manually yourself from the BIOS. Shutdown your system first, enter BIOS ,
thereafter do this:-
Security -> Security Chip -> Enable
While you're at it, also try clearing the chip from there.
Security -> Security Chip -> Clear security chip
Don't forget to save changes before exiting BIOS.
Hope This Helps
You could use the stand-alone Password Manager.
Uninstall the Client Security Solution from your system.
And install Password Manager.

Okay I have a Sprint Touch pro 2 I want to flash it to cricket, I have already ran the Hard SPL unlocker which then enabled me to flash various different ROMs onto the phone. The problem is that I cannot get the SPC to be all 0s so that I can get *228 to work on cricket. I already called Cricket and they have switched the phone over. I have also already installed a cricket carrier cab. I attempted to run the same protocol in Ryan mogul's thread using the BAF MSL Grabber but it wont work. Can someone please tell me what I am missing here. I have searched everywhere and nothing has proven helpful.

Secretary of State Tre Hargett presented grant checks today at two Nashville universities that will be used to improve the archives at those schools. During separate ceremonies at Tennessee State University and Trevecca Nazarene University, Secretary Hargett presented checks of $2,500 each.
The checks are awarded as part of the State and National Archival Partnership (SNAP) program, in which the federal government and states provide funding to support the preservation and storage of historical records and to increase public access to those records.
At TSU, the funding will be used to assist in organizing the papers of the late Avon Williams, a former state senator and civil rights activist. At TNU, the money will be used to digitize the school's collection of yearbooks.
"I appreciate both Tennessee State and Trevecca's commitment to this program," Secretary Hargett said. "These funds will assist in their important work of preserving these records as well as making them available to the broadest possible audience."
The Secretary of State's office has participated in the SNAP program since 1999. Each year, the office provides $45,500 in available funding to selected archives within Tennessee based on their submitted proposals.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The view over the marina and the fjord was very good. The hotel is not welcoming for individual travellers. Herds of conference participants dominate the hotel at all hours, and our room did not keep out the noise. The restaurant lacks charm for the same reason. You must pay for all extras in spite of the high hotel room rate.
I like the location of the hotel, short distance to city center. There should be more space for parking.
God mat og god atmosfære!
Very good dinner, but expensive - well, this is Scandinavia for you! The girls looking after us were very friendly and service-minded. The bathroom could do with an upgrade, otherwise a comfortable room.
The location
The main argument for this hotel is the very friendly location, directly on the sea with a nice small marina and walking distance to the little village of Grabbestad. The overall equipment should be refreshed/refurbished, especially in the public areas. The bathrooms look quite old and not very friendly. The price is quite high in regard of the standing. This is a typical summer destination for famillies with kids.
Location very nice. Room not comfortable, rather shabby. No air conditioning, so when windows were open, lots of noise from outside.
We found the whole place very relaxing. But sadly did not have enough time to enjoy the facilities as we arrived late and had to vacate the room by noon. No general compliants but a better welcome to the hotel would have enabled us to learn more about the available services.

Peugeot: Life shouldn't be this easy
Life is not as easy as stated by Peugeot 1007. The new UK online campaign moves from the tagline concept "Life shouldn't be this easy" but, in my opinion does not fully deliver what promised.
First of all, the automaker has split the information into two micro-sites: www.1007.peugeot.co.uk (with the car's characteristics) and www.1007news.peugeot.co.uk (with news and goodies). The presence of two independent, although connected, websites might disorient the visitor, who might miss some info Peugeot wants to deliver.
The second point, is that once you land on the news site, at first sight you think you are forced to register in order to access the information. Of course there is a link at the bottom of the page allowing you to preview the site content without registering, but it's not very intuitive.
These are the negative aspects of Peugeot online effort, but don't get me wrong, the campaign created by Euro RSCG has also some very interesting points to highlight. As reported on 160 Characters, the TV advert for the new 1007 car offers SMS as the only contact channel. The call to action at the end of the spot invites viewers to text the word "easy" to 81007. This allows mobile users to access a the car's WAP portal, where they find information and entertainment goodies. For example, they can book a test drive or watch the mobisodes of key 1007 features.

Retired NFL Star Provides Thanksgiving Meals to 1,500 Houston Families
Sports| | By Mauricio Castillo
charitable, and this Thanksgiving is no different. Johnson organized an event with former Texan players to donate 1,500 Thanksgiving meals to families in need at Fifth Ward Church of Christ yesterday in Houston. The food items will be distributed today, and Johnson was involved with every step of the process.Retired wide receiver Andre Johnson may go down as the greatest player in Houston Texans' franchise history, but it's what he's doing off the field that has warmed the hearts of many. Johnson, who signed with the rival Tennessee Titans before announcing his retirement earlier this year, is no stranger to being
Johnson credited his platform as a 14-year veteran of the sport that has allowed him to give back to the community. "This is our way of helping feed those in need and spreading our spirit of gratitude and kindness, because it's a privilege for us to be able to give," Johnson said. "I've been blessed, so why not bless somebody else?" Check out his full statement below:

It clearly was no ordinary season for Lehi's volleyball team, due mostly to the fact that the Pioneers didn't play in an ordinary region.
Four of the top five finishers in the Class 5A state tournament last week hailed from Region 4, including champion Pleasant Grove.
Lehi, which finished fourth in region play behind Lone Peak, Pleasant Grove and Bingham, put together a pair of "upsets" on Day 1 to claim fourth place.
The first-day victories against Region 3 champion Jordan in three sets and a five-set marathon against Viewmont were upsets only on paper, according to Lehi coach Jamie Ingersoll.
"A 4 seed out of our region means absolutely nothing," Ingersoll said. "Our region is so tough. I knew a 4 seed out of our region could go out and beat a No. 1 seed. As a 1 seed, you should already be thinking at least second round. But I know with our region, that's just not the case."
The Pioneers won four games playing in easily the toughest region in the state. All six teams, including non-playoff qualifiers Riverton and American Fork, finished with an overall record better than .500.
Lehi outside hitter Breelle Bailey called it the most difficult season in which she's ever played. Perhaps just what the senior needed in preparation for what awaits her next year when she plays at Arizona State.
"It's probably been one of the hardest volleyball years I've ever played," Bailey said. "It's been really tough."
It marked the third consecutive year in which the Pioneers opened the double-elimination playoff tournament with a victory. Lehi was runner-up to Davis in 2011.
Bailey said this year's run exceeded her expectations and left her thinking what could have been if the Pioneers had been able to put everything together earlier in the season the way they did in the tournament.
"It was like a whole new team at state than in region play," Bailey said. "I'd never seen us play that well. I was surprised and proud of us. I knew we had it, but we never really figured it out during the region matches.
"We had a big dinner before and we talked everything out and figured everything out. It might have come a little too late."
As impressive as Region 4's showing was in the tournament, it was equally as disappointing for Region 3 teams. Jordan, which went 9-1 to claim its first region title in a decade, finished eighth. And each of the four teams were sent to the consolation bracket in their first match.

UT Dallas Has Created Robots That Play Chess
The UTD Robotic chess team sets up for a demonstration at Klyde Warren Park
Matthew Lawson
Bobby Fischer said that "chess is war over the board. The object is to crush the opponent's mind." If chess is a war, then the minds at UTD have just gone nuclear.
See also: Five Ways to Use Klyde Warren Park
In a joint effort between UTD's electrical and mechanical engineering departments and the legendary UTD chess program -- world-championship legendary -- have combined to create robot chess, which was on display at Klyde Warren Park over the weekend. If you thought chess was all broken bottle cap glasses and pocket protectors, think again.
The Chess Pieces
Matthew Lawson
In true UTD style, neon green and orange chess pieces sit atop two black rubber wheels and measure around two feet in height. They are controlled by two combatants sitting at computers nearby, which determine each move with the help of legal guidelines and potential moves per piece. The chess board measures around 20 feet squared, and after a piece is eliminated, the operators must wheel it to the sideline. Each piece costs roughly $350 and looks like a two-wheeled RC car.
Professor Nicholas R. Gans, of the UTD Engineering and Computer Science Programs, talked to Mixmaster about the project.

Why robot chess? We decided that between the powerhouse chess program and powerhouse engineering program we have, we should create a robot chess set.
Does UTD have robotic experience? We have one of the reigning champion battle-bots, and we've done quite well in the unmanned underwater vehicle competition. We have a very strong background in robotics, so it was pretty easy to recruit some students to work on it.
What are the odds of each piece becoming self-aware and battling each other to the death? Very little. The processing power of each unit is very limited
What does the future hold for UTD's robot chess? We have some great ideas about using helicopters as knights so that they can truly jump over the other pieces.
Flying chess robots. Brain has officially met mechanical brawn, and if the future ventures of the UTD robotic brain trust prove half as successful as their chess program, more amazing spectacles can be expected. I look forward to their potential/hypothetical/purely fantasy future catch phrase "from the guys that brought you a world champion battle bot, and robotic chess, UTD robotics presents ROBO HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS!"
I believe the phrase is "A boy can dream."

March 10, which immigrant youth have named National Coming Out of the Shadows Day, is just around the corner. In 2011, undocumented immigrant youth have added a new word to their slogan, declaring that they're not only undocumented and unafraid. They're also unapologetic.
To get folks around the country ready the Chicago-based Immigrant Youth Justice League released a video about their plans, opening with the words of one activist:
My name is Cindy. I'm 21 years old. I'm undocumented. I'm unafraid. And I'm unapologetic. On March 10, 2011, we are going to have undocumented youth proclaim their undocumented status. They will tell everyone that they should not be sorry for being in the United States. That they should not apologize for getting an educaiton, that they should not be sorry for their parents trying to make a living in the U.S.
By coming out we share our stories. We put our face to this issue. We are human.
It's such a simple, direct statement that sounds almost radical in this age of heated rhetoric and racialized fear-mongering about immigrants.
In December the federal DREAM Act, which would have made undocumented youth eligible for citizenship if they cleared a host of hurdles and committed at least two years to the military or college, passed the House but failed to clear a filibuster in the Senate. This year's National Coming Out of the Shadows Day will be the second march for what's become an annual event organized by the immigrant youth movement.
Keep an eye out for more Colorlines.com coverage of events on March 10, as well as stories from Drop the I-Word.

Cooper Lake basin road to close during inspection
From Staff Reports
June 10, 2008 - The road leading to the stilling basin below the dam at Cooper Lake will be closed next week during an inspection of the basin and outflow just north of the structure.
The routine inspection of the Cooper Dam Stilling Basin will be conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from Monday, June 16, through Friday, June 20.
The road will be closed to the public for safety and security reasons during the inspection.
The examination will cover the stilling basin and outflow structure, which is a popular area for anglers when the water levels are up. The area is where water above the conservation pool level of the reservoir routinely flows into the Sulphur River.
"All work conducted during this inspection period will be completed with environmental safeguards in place to protect the Sulphur River basin and its fisheries," the Army Corps stated in a press released issued today.
The Fort Worth District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers oversees water resource development at Cooper Lake. The agency's website can be viewed at:

Interview With Christian Cota and Photos of His Fall 2010 Collection
Fab Exclusive! Christian Cota, Fashion's Next Big Star (Is Already Working on a Lower Priced Line)
You may not be familiar with Mexican-born Christian Cota, but he's about to blow up. He always steps out of the black fashion box, experimenting with color, texture, and prints. And his Fall collection is a step beyond. Cota was inspired by cubism; he took his signature draping and reimagined it to bring us something more structured, more serious. Mineral tones reigned: ochre, crimson, purple, copper, lapis, onyx, and anthracite — cool metals and warm jewels. Socialite Lauren Santo Domingo serves as his stylist, and his presentation brought the whole Vogue crew to bid warm hellos, and oohs, and aahs.
Subtle, sparkling jewelry was by Monique Pean, recent CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund runner-up. And the lace-up, suede, open-toe booties were Aldo (sweet!). Oh, and do you recall Carrie Underwood wore him to this year's People Choice Awards? I talked to Cota about that, and here's more juice.
Your collection has such a variety or textures, fabrics, and silhouettes.
Very boxy, lean silhouettes, with interesting texture and color. And very body-conscious, lean-fitting silhouettes. I wanted to do daywear, so with this jacket I did a wool coating but added some glitz and lurex feel, which I love. I really believe in having color and shine. Usually I do a softer, drapey silhouette, and this season I wanted to explore something more angular. It can still be beautiful and feminine but a little tougher.
To read the rest of my interview and to see the full Fall collection,
How did you team up with Lauren?
She was doing a shoot for Vogue. and it was in my showroom. I saw how she was working — she was on her knees, she was really working it — and I said OK, I want to work with you, and we've worked together three seasons now. And Lauren introduced me to the jewelry designer Monique Pean. These bracelets she's showing for the first time; she reworked some of her pieces for the show.
What's brewing in your world?
I actually have another collection I'm working on, in a lower price point. But for now I want to focus on getting into the stores I want and being true to who I am. On my website I am doing a bit of e-commerce; I select particular pieces to sell online, best sellers. I believe in growing that business more.
How did you feel when Carrie Underwood wore a dress of yours to the People's Choice Awards?
I was so excited because 1) she won, and 2) she got great reviews and response in it. I liked that it was a new style for her.

Canada is exactly where it needs to be at the IIHF World Hockey Championship.
Not only does the team control its own destiny on the Helsinki side of the tournament, it also appears to be rounding into form heading into the pressure packed final week. An 8-0 victory over Kazakhstan on Saturday may not have held much suspense, but it did offer evidence that Canada is headed in the right direction — particularly since it came just 24 hours after an emotional victory over the host Finns.
"We did a real good job of making sure our focus was where it needed to be today," said Canadian coach Brent Sutter. "We played a real solid 60 minutes and it's a tremendous credit to the players that they handled it the right way."
Devan Dubnyk stopped all 24 shots he faced while Dion Phaneuf scored twice as Canada spread its offence around.
Kazakhstan arrived at this tournament looking to earn respect from the top hockey nations and managed to take the Americans to overtime on Friday before losing 3-2. They also started well against Canada, keeping the score to 1-0 through the first 30 minutes.
"It was a tight game early," said Phaneuf. "They came out hard. We respected them as an opponent — I think any team in this tournament has proven it can win on any given night."
The Kazaks saw their slim chance at an upset disappear because Canada stuck to its game plan and eventually wore them out. It was a patient performance by the Canadians, who broke their opponent's will with an aggressive and disciplined game.
"We fell like rocks down a hill," said Kazak forward Konstantin Pushkarev. "It looks like we were gassed and we've got no emotions. It was a pretty bad game for us.
"We just stopped playing."
Corey Perry, Alex Burrows, Evander Kane, John Tavares, Teddy Purcell and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored on a night where all but five players recorded at least one point for Canada (5-0-1). Duncan Keith and Ryan Getzlaf each added three assists.
Kazakhstan faced Canada for the first time ever in world championship play and saw its record drop to 0-5-1. The team will be relegated to the lower level Group A world championship next year.
Canada, meanwhile, can clinch the top seed in the Helsinki pool with a victory in its final round robin game against Belarus on Tuesday. After that, it will need three straight victories to claim the country's first world championship gold since 2007.
"We're playing the way that we want to play," said Phaneuf.
Canada should take some confidence away from the fact it didn't suffer a major letdown after the big comeback win over Finland. That game was played in front of a rocking sold out crowd at Hartwall Arena — a far cry from the library-like atmosphere with just 4,151 people in the building Saturday.
The goals didn't come quickly.
Kazakhstan killed a penalty in the first period and managed to keep Canada off the scoresheet for 15 minutes. Phaneuf eventually got things started on his team's second man advantage with a hard slapshot that beat Vitali Kolesnik at 15:45 to make it 1-0.
However, the Kazaks didn't go away — testing Dubnyk with 10 shots in the second period. Roman Savchenko had a glorious chance to tie the game with the Canadian goalie down and out, but he fired high with the team's best scoring chance of the night.
"It was still fresh ice," said Dubnyk. "As I went down, I slid a bit to my right more than I would have liked. It just went off my pad and right to their guy. Lucky for me he chopped it over (the net)."
Perry gave Canada a little breathing room with a nice wraparound goal at 12:05 before Jordan Eberle earned an assist the hard way. He was knocked to the ice by Vladislav Kolesnikov, who had just come out of the penalty box, but had the puck go right to Burrows for a goal at 17:03.
Eberle wasn't shaken up on the play.
"He just clipped me," he said.
The game turned into a rout in the final 20 minutes.
Early goals 50 seconds apart by Kane, Tavares and Purcell chased Kolesnik from the net before Phaneuf got his second goal of the night at 5:53 against backup Vitali Yeremeyev.
"We wanted to try and wear them down and try and wear their belief down," said Tavares. "I think over the course of the game we did that. Eventually, we got the results that we wanted."
Dubnyk earned his first career world championship shutout. He had to stand tall during a late 5-on-3 disadvantage that prompted Kazakhstan to call a timeout in the final minute to draw up a play.
"I was joking with the ref," said Dubnyk. "I said 'Come on, there's 50 seconds left, let's just get out of here."'
There were smiles all around when the final buzzer sounded on a satisfying victory. It could have been a trap game against a weaker opponent but Canada played exactly as it intended to.
"You want to just keep your good habits and stay as focused as you can," said Eberle. "Obviously, it can be tough. But you have to be prepared for the games ahead and all of that starts with good habits."
Notes: Canadian forward Ryan O'Reilly sat out with a lower-body injury. He should be back on Tuesday. ... Kane was credited with 11 shots in a team-best 17:59 of ice time. ...

Steelers won't rule out tagging NT Hampton
Casey Hampton has made it clear he does not want the Steelers to use a franchise tag on him.
In less than two weeks, the Steelers may do so anyway and tell the five-time Pro Bowler that it is simply business.
By tagging Hampton, the Steelers would effectively deny the veteran nose tackle the chance to hit the open market.
"Our stance on the tag is that while we don't like to use (it), we're never going to say that we're not going to use something that is collectively bargained as a tool in this process," Steelers director of football operations Kevin Colbert said Friday.
Translation: the Steelers will use a franchise tag on Hampton as a last resort March 5, when the free-agent signing period starts.
Hampton, 32, who seeks a multi-year contract from the Steelers or the freedom to shop himself around, told the Tribune-Review last week that "it's going to be a problem if I get franchised."
If the Steelers place the franchise tag on Hampton, they would have to offer the unrestricted free agent a one-year contract worth a little more than $7.74 million.
The two sides don't have much time to negotiate the kind of deal that Hampton covets.
Colbert said the Steelers won't seriously negotiate with Hampton until after they have completed their evaluation of the 2010 free agent class near the end of next week.
That will give the Steelers until Feb. 25 to work out a multi-year contract with Hampton. The 25th is the deadline for using a franchise or less restrictive transition tag on players.
Along with Hampton, free safety Ryan Clark and kicker Jeff Reed have been identified by the Steelers as top priorities following a review of their own free agents.
Of the seemingly narrow window to sign all or any of the three to long-term contracts, Colbert said: "I think there will be time. We're not looking at it as against the clock or anything like that."
The NFL goes to an uncapped year if the players and owners don't agree on a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) before March 5. The two sides appear to be far apart.
In the event of an uncapped year, Colbert said, the Steelers will operate as if they are still bound by spending limitations.
He added that the Steelers will estimate what the cap would have been for 2010 — it was $127 million per team in 2009 — and use that to guide them during the offseason.
Colbert said he doesn't know if an uncapped year will put the spend-conscious Steelers at a competitive disadvantage.
"It's hard to predict,'' Colbert said. "We don't concern ourselves with that as long as we're doing business the way we feel that's best."
Note: Steelers scout Mark Gorscak will be inducted into the Mid Mon Valley All Sports Hall of Fame in June. The Donora native recently got elected to a group whose members include Joe Montana, Stan Musial, Ken Griffey Sr. and Steelers college scouting coordinator Ron Hughes.
Sitting down with Kevin Colbert.
The Steelers' director of football operations talked with reporters Friday for the first time this offseason. Here are some highlights:
» The Steelers are looking to add depth at every position other than quarterback, and they will be aggressive in trying to upgrade their roster. "I think if you enter the season with the same group that you ended the season, you might expect the same result because we're a 9-7 team at this point," Colbert said. "Sure, some players will improve and some players will regress. You just hope the improvements outweigh the regressions, and you hope that the players you add will add depth and competition."
» The Steelers should be able to find players that can help them throughout the 2010 NFL draft. "I think the quality of the draft is excellent _ very deep defensively," Colbert said. "Offensively, there may not be as many big-name skill positions, but there are a lot of players. It's really a good draft."
» The Steelers will focus on free agency and the draft, Colbert said, before trying to sign players going into the final year of their contracts to long-term deals.
» Colbert said he "is totally happy in my position at this point." Colbert has been linked with former Steelers coach Bill Cowher when the latter is mentioned for head-coaching jobs since the two worked together from 2000-06.
Steelers' free-agent watch
Director of football operations Kevin Colbert said the Steelers have not ruled out re-signing any of their unrestricted free agents.
Here are the players on that list:
NT Casey Hampton — Tagging him may be unavoidable - and potentially unpleasant.
S Ryan Clark — Clark wants to stay, and Steelers will welcome him if the price is right.
K Jeff Reed — He'll be back next season as both sides want Reed to stay in Pittsburgh.
RB Willie Parker — "Fast Willie" is as good as gone unless suitors are scarce.
S Tyrone Carter — He can't return as anything more than the team's No. 4 safety.
CB Deshea Townsend — Smarts and versatility make him a valuable reserve.
QB Charlie Batch — Steelers told Batch they want him back as No. 3 QB.
DE Travis Kirschke — A solid backup but risky at his age - 36 at start of season.
DE Nick Eason — The Steelers will likely bring back Kirschke or Eason but not both.

LAMPASAS - Lampasas County commissioners reviewed the ongoing and escalating problem of theft and destruction of signs on county roads Monday.
Commissioner Lowell Ivey reported an instance in the past week in which 12 to 15 signs had been pushed over.
As a result, crews were dispatched on Monday to replace the posts and signs.
Ivey asked Sheriff David Whitis to increase patrols in the area. Whitis said that it would be difficult for a deputy to capture someone in the act of destroying or driving over signs, and with the department's high call ratio at this time, he couldn't promise anything.
"Without signs, there's going to be a serious accident and it's needless," said Ivey, who recovered 13 signs in Lometa after receiving a tip from a resident.
Commissioner Jack B. Cox said he had talked to Lampasas Independent School District Superintendent Randy Hoyer and encouraged him to come up with an idea to challenge high school students such as an essay contest about the problem. Cox suggested that the title for the essay should be: "How Much Education Do You Need to Know How to Run Over a Highway Sign?"
Cox also proposed offering a $1,000 reward for turning in someone who destroyed a sign. Since the problem is outside the city, an ordinance would not be an appropriate measure.
"I agree that a reward would be most effective," Whitis said. "We looked into Crime Stoppers, but it would have to be a specific event."
If someone is killed in an accident that results from a sign being damaged or stolen, the individual responsible for the damage could face charges of voluntary manslaughter because they voluntarily ran over or stole the sign, Ivey said.
The issue will be placed on the agenda for an upcoming meeting.
In other business, Sue Faulkner was reappointed to another two-year term on the board of trustees for Central Counties Center for MHMR.
"She's done a great job on that board and she has agreed to be there again," said Wayne L. Boultinghouse, county judge.
Commissioner Alex Wittenberg was reappointed to the Lampasas Economic Development Corporation board for another one-year term.
The court convened in called meetings Monday through Wednesday for budget workshops.

Letter: Rumore is unable to see beyond teachers' interests
Rumore is unable to see beyond teachers' interests
The students of the Buffalo School District continue to suffer from the failure of its adult leadership. Phil Rumore may be right that Buffalo's teachers are undercompensated compared to teachers in other school districts. And perhaps the Breakfast in the Classroom program does create crumbs that require teachers to clean up and thus takes away from valuable teaching time. Both matters require solutions and resolution. But to raise those two issues in the media and file a grievance now, in the wake of the district's problems and dismal graduation rates, demonstrates his lack of good judgment and narrow single-mindedness about education. Rumore seems unable to see beyond the teachers' interests in a multiparty system. It's long past time for this guy to just fade away. It would be the best contribution to Buffalo education left for him to make now.
When I hear the School Board members, the superintendent and school administrators say they are doing everything they can to improve graduation rates for students, I believe them. But that is precisely the problem. They are doing their best, and it just isn't good enough. My impression is of hardworking, serious, committed professional people who go to work every day to do the best they can but are out of ideas and lacking in inspiration, vision, the necessary skills and, importantly, leadership. Competent, creative ideas and solutions don't seem to flow freely and easily in that system, like reduced blood flow in a clogged artery that evolved slowly over time.
I am on the opposite side of Carl Paladino on almost every issue I can think of, but he might just be the guy to get the blood flowing freely again. Stranger things have happened.

Ligonier theatre presents French farce
Bookending the Valentines Day holiday, the Valley Players of Ligonier will open its 48th season with the romantic comedy "In One Bed… and Out the Other," on Feb. 8-10 and Feb 15-17. Friday and Saturday shows will be at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday shows will be at 2:30 p.m.
The play is a comedy of errors, adapted from the 1947 French farce "Une Nuit Chez Vous… Madame!" by Jean de Létraz.
"It's a typical sex farce where you think people are going to do things, and they never do," said director Jim Mikula. "They are jumping in and out of bed with each other, but nothing ever happens. It's all about the chase; running in and out of doors and catching somebody with somebody else and somebody pretending to be somebody else."
Terry Westwood plays the role of Gaston Dubois, in whose house the story takes place. Rosie Moff-Wolford plays Gaston's wife, Huguette. Temperance Grace plays Clara, Gaston's mistress. The Dubois household has a butler named Maurice, played by Jon Mullen, who works under the false name Didier. Didier, played by Graham Green, is Maurice's friend who has a romantic interest in Huguette. Meanwhile Maurice is avoiding his Aunt Alice, played by Rozella Hoffman, who wishes him to marry Rosine, played by Sam Shurie.
The cast includes both veteran and new performers to the Ligonier Theatre. Hoffman and Moff-Wolford both said they have been involved with the theatre on and off since the 1980s. On the other hand, Grace said this is her second performance at the theater.
"I think the cast is really funny together. On and off stage everybody gets along really well," she said.
The plot of the story revolves around a series of mistaken identities, with characters pretending to be others and false assumptions that lead to confusion and humorous results, and a surprise ending that cast members said no one will expect.
"Everybody's running in different directions and everybody thinks somebody else is doing something else, and they're not. It's just a farce; it's beautiful," said Hoffman."
Moff-Wolford said it was fun to be a part of the show.
"The show is cute; it's funny. It's a good winter break for people. There's a lot of comedy and craziness," she said.
For tickets or more information about the theatre. call 724-238-6514.

Here's What Life Is Actually Like On The Wind River Indian Reservation
The Wind River Indian Reservation is not an easy place to get to, but I had to see it for myself.
Thirty-five-hundred square miles of prairie and mountains in western Wyoming, the reservation is home to bitter ancestral enemies: the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes.
Even among reservations, it's renowned for brutal crime, widespread drug use, and legal dumping of toxic waste.
But no matter how much you hear about Wind River, there always seemed to be something unsaid. I spent over a week there and in the nearby towns. It was perhaps the most dramatic and unbalanced place I've ever been.
The Wind River reservation is located in central Wyoming. The landscape is unlike anything most people have ever seen
Out 'here' is the 3,500 square miles where Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes share unforgiving land that neither tribe called home until the U.S. forced them to in 1868. Before being forced to share the same reservation, the two tribes were enemies.
The locals call Wind River the 'Rez' and it's not far from the town of Shoshoni.
Wind River is in fact one of the deadliest places in the United States.

of the people buried there were young.... 18, 21, 24, etc.
Tombstones read "knife fight", "gun shot", "suicide", etc. it was truly depressing.

5. Oddly enough, I got no feeling at all for what "life is actually like." There are very few people in
the photos, and the slide-show feels like a one-day escorted drive-through. I understand these kinds of things are difficult to put together, but I would say a look inside Wind River does not deserve the "Business Insider" (which is trying to be Cracked with worse writing and a classy name) treatment.

7. My Experience
I went back in summer '98 for a work camp mission trip and stayed in a classroom of a high school there. Honestly one of the prettiest landscapes I'd ever seen. I guess that depends on who you are. I was partnered with a group of strangers for a week to work on a man's house (whom I forget his name). Was honored to be there and hopefully get to know him. It was apparent he suffered from alcohol addiction but was otherwise pretty nice. He had a long smooth tree limb hanging from his front porch and someone asked if it represented anything. The man responded "To hang the white men from." I remember just sort of chuckling about it. Because otherwise, he didn't seem threatening at all. Who knows. I still have very lovely memories of this place. Even with all it's thorns. I was a teenager then. I wonder how I might find now. Would be awesome to visit again.

RAMSBOTTOM enjoyed a real "blast from the past" when East Lancashire Railway staged its 1940s Wartime Weekend.
Enthusiasts battled with the rain for much of Saturday and Sunday, but blue skies were the order of the day on Monday.
The 16th annual three-day event included battle re-enactments, a military parade and 40s-style dancing.Crowds flocked to see a lifesize replica of a World War Two Spitfire plane, which was parked opposite the train station and was brought to the town following a campaign to raise £1,000.
A wedding was held at St Paul's Church on Saturday, and the couple tied the knot in 1940s dress.
The couple had attended the event the previous year and enjoyed it so much that they decided to walk down the aisle at this year's weekend.
A competition for the best window display, which was judged by the Mayor of Bury Cllr Sharon Briggs, was won by Jesse Mays vintage store in Bridge Street after members of staff kitted themselves and the shop out in 1940s gear.
On Sunday, the main event was a military parade through the streets, led by the Greater Manchester Army Cadet Forces Pipe and Drum band.
Guests travelled to the events on the East Lancashire Railway (ELR), and military displays and vehicles were also on show at the Bury Bolton Street and Heywood stations.
ELR chairman, Peter Duncan, who has been involved with organising the event since it started, said: "The weather wasn't good but it didn't seem to put people off.
"We had a really good crowd as we do every year. We try to bring new attractions to every event to keep things growing and we did that again this year, and we hope the event will run and run."

Before neighborhoods snug up to the Oquirrh Mountain slopes, transportation planners want to be sure Salt Lake County's westernmost highway is ready for the traffic.
Should State Road 111 become a seven-lane byway with traffic signals? Or should the so-called Bacchus Highway grow into a full-scale freeway? Should the road remain in the same place? Or should it wrap around Magna's west side to the north or forge a more convenient connection with Herriman to the south?
The Utah Department of Transportation is weighing those possibilities as part of a $462,000 study of the SR111 corridor, meant to guide the highway's development during the next 30 years.
The agency will present its proposals Thursday at Webster Community Center, 8952 W. 2700 South, Magna. The open house runs from 4 to 7 p.m.
"There is a lot of room for expansion on the west side of the valley," UDOT spokesman Adan Carrillo said. "We are just trying to be proactive about what we need now and what we need in the future."
UDOT began the study late last year, examining a now-remote section of the highway near 8400 West between State Road 201 in Magna and Butterfield Park Road in Herriman. A final plan is expected by year's end.
Recommendations for the road are available online at udot.utah.gov/sr-111.
Rolen Yoshinaga, the county's director of planning and development, hopes the study will lead to a safer roadway. Combine the speed of traffic and the sometimes-rolling terrain, he said, and blind spots occur.
"Right now," Yoshinaga said, "we are looking at this project mostly in terms of safety."
He suspects SR111 even with construction of the Mountain View Corridor to the east will get "significant use" as the valley grows westward.
Although the study includes no specific time frame for improvements, Carrillo said some could come sooner than later. One recommendation: rumble strips. If the study finds them necessary, Carrillo said, they could be installed in as little as a year.

Scarlett Johansson: "Late Show with David Letterman" Lovely
Looking very chilly, Scarlett Johansson arrived at "The Late Show with David Letterman" in the Big Apple on Tuesday (November 20).
The "Iron Man" star looked lovely in a black sleeveless knee-length dress and strappy heels with a black overcoat wrapped around her.
Recently, the 27-year-old has been spotted out and about in both Paris and New York with new French flame, Romain Dauriac.
Dauriac is currently manager of a creative agency. On Friday, the new couple were spotted at La Esquina restaurant in Soho for lunch.
