Total E&P Norge AS and Wintershall Norge AS have drilled dry wells in production license 554 and production license 611, respectively.
Wildcat well 34/6-4 in PL554, located northeast of the Garantiana discovery in the North Sea, was trying to prove the existence of petroleum in Lower Jurassic reservoir rocks in the Cook formation. The well encountered around 314 feet of aquiferous sandstone in the formation with poor to moderate reservoir quality and was subsequently classified as dry.
Drilled to a vertical depth of 13,398 feet below the sea surface using the Leiv Eriksson (UDW semisub), well 34/6-4 was terminated in the Lower Jurassic Burton formation.
Well 7224/2-1, drilled by Wintershall, had a primary exploration target to prove petroleum in Lower Triassic reservoir rocks, specifically, the Klappmyss formation. Its secondary exploration target was to prove petroleum in the Snadd formation Upper Triassic reservoir rocks.
Situated northwest of the 7224/6-1 Arenaria gas discovery in the Barents Sea, the well did not encounter sandstones with reservoir quality in the Klappmyss formation, which did contain traces of petroleum. Wintershall found two sandstone layers in the well's Snadd formation, with thicknesses of about 147 and 49 feet and with "very good" reservoir quality, according to a statement from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, although both layers were aquiferous.
Well 7224/2-1 also encountered traces of petroleum in two thin sandstone layers in the Kobbe formation and in two thin sandstone layers with poor reservoir quality in the Havert formation. Despite the finds, the well was classified as dry.
Wintershall drilled well 7224/2-1 to a vertical depth of 9,566 feet below the sea surface using the Transocean Arctic (mid-water semisub) and terminated drilling operations in the Havert formation of Early Triassic age.
Well 34/6-4, which was the fifth exploration well in PL554, and well 7224/2-1, which was the first exploration well in PL611, will both now be permanently plugged and abandoned.

The worst possible outcome for the Abbott government would be if its proposal for a $7 Medicare fee actually became law, Australian Medical Association president Brian Owler says.
Addressing the National Press Club in Canberra on Wednesday, Associate Professor Owler said public opinion was clearly against the proposal, announced in the May budget, for a $7 fee for GP visits, pathology services such as blood tests and diagnostic imaging services such as X-rays.
"I think the worst thing for the government would actually be if by some miracle they got the co-payment proposal through the Senate, because every time someone went to the doctor, they would be reminded about the co-payment," Professor Owler said.
While the Coalition has not yet introduced legislation for the change, the proposal appears unlikely to pass the Senate, with Labor, the Greens and the Palmer United Party strongly opposed.
But the government has signalled a willingness to negotiate and at the invitation of Prime Minister Tony Abbott, the AMA is developing an alternative proposal that would provide greater protections for vulnerable patients.
Professor Owler said while the AMA was not opposed to co-payments in principle, it was opposed to the government's proposal because it threatened "the universality and affordability for health care for the neediest and sickest in the community".
In a wide-ranging speech, Professor Owler, a Sydney neurosurgeon known as the face of the "Don't Rush" road safety campaign, took aim at private health insurers, who he accused of a "concerted effort" to "undermine and control the medical profession".
"The AMA supports a strong role for private health insurers but we will not allow private health insurers, motivated by profits and market share, encroaching into the doctor-patient relationship," he said.
Professor Owler said the AMA had become concerned about insurers introducing arrangements requiring prior approval of certain medical procedures.
"The stage is being set for a US-style managed care system in both the primary care and hospital settings. I am concerned that the government is also looking towards such a system," he said.
Professor Owler said the nation's largest insurer, Medibank Private was circumventing the law that bans health funds from paying for GP services by paying an administrative fee to medical practice manager IPN in return for their members receiving preferential treatment in trials under way in Queensland. Professor Owler said the spread of such arrangements would mean people without insurance would have less access to a GP.
He also expressed concern about the possibility of private health insurers tendering to operate Primary Health Networks, organisations the Coalition plans to co-ordinate primary health services.
"The AMA has concerns about the appropriateness of such an arrangement and the inherent conflicts of interest," he said.
Responding to Professor Owler's comments, Michael Armitage, the chief executive of the lobby group for health insurers, Private Healthcare Australia, said: "The only thing we're interested in is quality outcomes for our members.
"We look forward to discussing with the AMA the quality of care they deliver, rather than the quantum of money we pay for it," he said.

Everything would have been much easier had Michael Bisping defeated Vitor Belfort this past Saturday night at UFC on FX 7 in Brazil. The outspoken Brit would've earned a shot at UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva and the rest of the contenders would've waited until that bout happened before being able to stake their claim as the next one to face the middleweight champion, regardless of who it may have been.
Unfortunately Bisping got knocked out and now the big question is who will face Silva next and when will it happen. Chris Weidman seems to be the obvious choice once he is healed up from the shoulder surgery that forced him out his bout against Tim Boetsch at UFC 155 on December 29. The undefeated Serra-Longo fighter has gone on record as saying he deserves the shot and he has the tools to finally end Silva's long reign atop the middleweight division.
When Weidman went down a teammate of his stepped up in his place and made the most of his opportunity as Costa Philippou faced Boetsch on short notice and extended his winning streak to five with a third round TKO over the Barbarian. Philippou has defeated Jorge Rivera, Jared Hamman, Court McGee, Riki Fukuda and Boetsch since dropping his UFC debut to Nick Catone at UFC 128 in what was a 195lb. catchweight bout. The win over Boetsch seems to have vaulted the former Ring of Combat Middleweight Champion into the top 10 middleweight rankings.
Many of the other top middleweights have fights scheduled including Hector Lombard and Yushin Okami who will face one another at UFC on Fuel TV 8 in Japan on March 3. Belfort himself is looking to fight Jon Jones again or Chael Sonnen, but either way his loss to Silva at UFC 126 is still fresh in everyone's minds, so don't expect to see him standing across the cage from the champ any time soon. Luke Rockhold, the Strikeforce Middleweight Champion isn't ready to fight so that leaves Philippou looking for a fight with a top 10 opponent.
The UFC normally doesn't like to match fighters coming off of a loss with a fighter on a winning streak, but in this case making a Bisping-Philippou fight makes too much sense. Philippou needs another win over a legitimate top 10 opponent and Bisping still fits that criteria. While the loss to Belfort lowers The Count's stock he still has huge name recognition and presents a tough match-up for any middleweight. Everyone has a bad night and gets caught, unfortunately for Bisping he seems to have those nights every time he is just about to grab the brass ring he has been looking to obtain for so long.
The UFC will be returning to England in July and a win over Bisping in the main event of a Fuel TV of FX card in front of his hometown fans will give Philippou the huge win he needs and will allow him to stake his claim at a middleweight title shot. His last five wins are nice, but they would pale in comparison to beating England's poster boy in his own backyard. Now that Philippou has a solid management team behind him he can expect a huge push and why not help his own cause by calling out the The Ultimate Fighter season two winner?
Sonnen has proven time and time again, your performances inside the Octagon will only get you so far. You have to be prepared and capable of drawing attention to yourself. Once you have the fans and the media talking about you, the UFC will undoubtedly begin to have a keener interest in you. Dana White and crew have also shown with their recent actions that the most deserving contender isn't always the one who gets the shot at the champion.Tags: Anderson Silva, Chris Weidman, Costa Philippou, Court McGee, featured, Hector Lombard, jared hamman, jorge rivera, Luke Rockhold, Michael Bisping, MMA NEWS, riki fukada, Strikeforce, tim boetsch, UFC 126, UFC 128, UFC 155, ufc news, ufc on fuel 8, ufc on fx 7, Vitor Belfort, yushin okami

Joe Beery compares the job of merging US Airways, a national airline, and America West, a low-cost, predominantly regional carrier, to creating a three-humped camel. Sitting in his ninth floor office in Tempe, overlooking the Arizona desert, the CIO of the new airline that began operating under the US Airway name in September 2005 seems to have found an appropriate metaphor.
It's apt because 1. there's no such thing as a three-humped camel and 2. successful mergers in the airline industry are nearly as rare. But if there's ever going to be one, chances are it will look a lot like the carrier Beery, formerly CIO of America West, and his fellow US Airways executives are trying to build right now: a low-cost, full-service airline—a seeming contradiction in terms.
Beery's first hump represents the consolidation of the applications currently running the two airlines. The second hump represents moving the entire airline onto a single reservations system. And the third hump represents the complete integration of both airline's IT systems and the award from the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) of the all-important single operating certificate that will allow the new airline to operate as a single entity. (Until then, it must run separate fleets, flight crews, maintenance and operations control centers—which pretty much defeats the purpose of the merger.)
As the camel is being assembled, executives at the new US Airways are envisioning a traditional carrier with a fully developed national route network and such amenities as first-class seating and a loyalty program that simultaneously supports the lower prices that U.S. consumers have come to demand. In order to get there, says Beery, "we have to figure out how to do things differently. In some cases IT will be a big part of enabling that low-cost model and in some cases IT itself will be a part of the cuts." At the core of this new airline will be simplified business processes supported by the low-cost IT infrastructure of the smaller but more successful of the merged airlines: America West.
"There's not an airline around today that wouldn't want to simplify their processes further," says Robert Goodwin, managing vice president of Gartner. With this merger, US Airways is hoping to find synergies between traditional airlines and the newer low-cost carriers in order stay aloft in a viciously competitive market (see "Another Turbulent Year").
"All airlines have been reexamining their IT strategies and expenditures and strategies," says Henry Harteveldt, vice president of travel research for Forrester. "US Airways is certainly going to be watched with great interest."

The Atlanta Braves wasted a two-run eighth inning home run off the bat of Evan Gattis as the Washington Nationals defeated the Atlanta Braves 6-5 Tuesday afternoon at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
This afternoon's game was the first of a doubleheader between the two teams. Yesterday's game was postponed due to the tragic Washington Navy Yard shooting.
Washington starter Dan Haren allowed only one run through six innings, only to watch his bullpen unfold late in the game.
Gattis homered in the top of the eighth off Nationals reliever Tyler Clippard and the Braves added a run in the ninth to give Atlanta a 5-3 lead.
Mike Minor gave up three runs on three hits through six innings for the Braves, but walked four. Centerfielder B.J. Upton saved a run with an outstanding catch in the bottom of the fifth inning off the bat of Nationals slugger Bryce Harper.
Craig Kimbrel loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Nationals scored a run on a fielders choice to cut the Braves lead to one. They won the game on a Denard Span grounder up the middle that went under the glove of Simmons.
The second game of today's twinbill in Washington is scheduled for 7:05 PM at Nationals Park. Freddy Garcia (1-1, 1.32) will take the mound for the Braves to face Tanner Roark (6-0, 1.30).

News Release
For Immediate Release
February 6, 2012
K. Allen Brooks, Senior Assistant Attorney General
(603) 271-3679
Attorney General Michael A. Delaney and Commissioner Thomas S. Burack of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services ("DES"), announce that the Belknap County Superior Court (O'Neill, III, J.) approved a settlement agreement assessing a $20,000 civil penalty against Terence Graham d/b/a Docks Unlimited for violations of State wetlands laws.
Mr. Graham unlawfully altered wetlands on a property he owned in Meredith and began construction of a breakwater without authorization along Lake Winnipesaukee in Alton. The State filed suit against Mr. Graham seeking restoration and civil penalties for both violations. The court issued an order requiring Mr. Graham to restore both areas and has approved a settlement between the parties in which Mr. Graham will be assessed a $20,000 civil penalty. The court will hold a hearing on March 30, 2012, with respect to Mr. Graham's financial condition and claimed inability to pay. The Court may adjust payment of the civil penalties as it deems necessary.
"DES strives to protect our surface waters and wetlands from unauthorized destruction," said DES Commissioner Tom Burack. "Our state's water quality is one of our greatest assets and DES remains committed to enforcing our state's laws to ensure its protection."

text: Yesterday and last night we received 3.9 inches of rain. Most of it fell between the hours of 4 and 9. It came down at times almost like rain from a hurricane. If the rain continues at this fast rate, I may need to consider cheap term life insurance. Seriously, the rain is good because we are still at a deficit here. I have always heard that a slow drizzling rain is better than a hard downpour. I guess we should be thankful for any rainfall that we get.

The efficiency of the Environmental Management Charge in the Cairns management area of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park
Using data from a survey of more than 1000 domestic visitors to the Northern section of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) – predominantly those travelling on live-aboard dive boats – this research investigates the (tax) efficiency of the Environmental Management Charge (EMC). The travel cost method (with a zero truncated negative binomial specification) is used to estimate the price elasticity of demand, and those estimates are used to estimate the deadweight losses, the losses in visitor numbers that could be 'blamed' on the EMC and the associated taxation revenues for different types of trips. The welfare loss for each dollar of revenue raised from the EMC was estimated at less than one per cent for each type of trip considered. The analysis therefore suggests that, for these types of trips in this part of the reef at least, the EMC is a very efficient tax – particularly when compared with other taxes. This has important implications beyond the GBR, particularly in countries who struggle to find sufficient funds to properly manage world heritage areas: taxes such as these may be a relatively efficient and equitable means of collecting such revenues.

Pirates Make Lousy Husbands
Disclaimer: The characters are not mine. They belong to Disney.
"Jack, how can you do this to me?" Elizabeth complained in outrage and shock, the steel manacle tight about her wrist.
"Believe me this, Lizzie, I'm doing you a favor." The pirate explained as he stepped back to survey the situation of his creation. "Pirates make lousy husbands and that eunuch of yours has pirate blood. Ye may think ye want him, but ye really don't. He'll run off and leave you someday."
"And this is your solution?" She raised her right hand to display the cold band of steel about it, a short chain leading down to the matching manacle around a larger wrist.
"I think it be perfect." Jack grinned devilishly. "And it only took a single bottle of rum to think it up."
Elizabeth snorted in disgust. "This is my repayment for saving your life?"
Sparrow continued to grin as he held up the key to the manacles he had stolen and had hidden on his person until now. "Pirate."
"Give me the key!" She demanded and tried to snatch it with her free hand, only to have Jack easily leap out of reach.
"No! It be my key!" Jack pranced further away, heading towards the place he planned on making his exit.
"You can't leave us like this!" She wailed.
"Don't see nothing wrong with it, mate. Besides, he sure likes putting them on me. Thought I'd turn the tables as it were."
"Sparrow, give me the key." Norrington's cool voice ordered, the other end of the manacle around his wrist. "Don't make me hang you again."
"I told you I was rooting for you." Jack leaped up onto the little platform of Fort Charles, the sea at his back. All eyes were on him and the key he held. "If ye be clever, ye might get free in a month or so…"
And with those last words, he stumbled and fell to the sea below, leaving James and Elizabeth manacled together.
"Well, the nerve of that pirate!" Governor Swann said while looking shocked by the man's antics. "He must steal anything not nailed to the floor, even manacles. Now who has a key?"
The marines and navy officers milled about, unsure what to do.
"The keys, I'm afraid, are unique to the locks. If they weren't, the prisoners would just steal a key and have copies made so the manacles would be useless." James informed the Governor. "I'm afraid it won't be easy to get off, which was Sparrow's plan. I can't chase after him while manacled to your daughter."
Elizabeth sighed. It was clear she was going to end up spending lots of time with James in the foreseeable future.

CANNINGS Martial Arts' (CMA) charity kickboxing and boxing show held at BCoT proved to be a great success, as a crowd of over 400 packed into the venue and over £1,000 was raised for Naomi House.
The main event was a Southern Area title fight decider between Basing-stoke Kickboxing Organisation's George Peploe and Sacchin Sharma from Slough.
Both fighters started well, with Peploe using his movement to evade attacks, and it was a fast-paced bout for all three rounds.
It was a tough decision, but the win went to the Slough man.
Earlier in the evening, the crowd enjoyed a white collar boxing bout that saw RW Armstrong contracts manager John Scannelli make his debut after only 12 weeks of training. He faced Alex Gibson, a boxer from Farnborough.
Scannelli was fighting in aid of his chosen charity Naomi House and he worked tremendously hard, showing true grit and determination in the bout.
Taking some strong solid shots, Scannelli faced up to the challenge and surprised many with his boxing ability, evading his opponent with some good footwork, but after three rounds had to settle for second place.
Odiham's professional boxer Matt Goddard was on hand to give both fighters their trophies.
BCoT principal Anthony Bravo showcased his previous experience in semi-contact kickboxing, facing an instructor from an Andover kickboxing club in an exhibition bout and putting on a great display.
The evening also highlighted other local talent and was opened by CMA's Kane Barker, who began the first round cautiously against his opponent from Slough and used his jab to good effect.
Both fighters fought extremely well and showed no sign of stepping down and Barker eventually won on a split decision.
Basingstoke Kickboxing Organisation's Heather Chilcott was next in the ring and showed great kicking technique and composure to beat her opponent from Andover over the three fast-paced rounds.
CMA's Ryan Barker faced a fellow black belt from Kent and another close contest saw the Basingstoke fighter win on a split decision.
Club-mate Andy Brown took on a bodybuilding enthusiast from Kent, who applied the pressure straight away, forcing Brown to box and counter with clinical punches and solid kicks.
After this, the home fighter took control and went on to record a victory through the pain barrier, battling a knee injury to take the win.
After a great evening, organiser Kyle Cannings said: "Cannings Martial Arts would like to thank all who attended this amazing event, BCoT principal Anthony Bravo and site co-ordinator Richard Wilkins for their help and support, along with the BCoT staff and work experience students who made the evening a success.
"We would also like to thank RW Armstrong Builders, who made significant contributions to Naomi House and supported the event from the start.
"Big Scaffolding also sponsored a fight on the evening, helping contribute to the money raised for charity."

Dr. Esti Bakty's special interest in pain management and naturopathic oncology is personal. After a car accident left her with chronic pain, she began exploring healing methods and entered a four-year medical program. During that time, her mother was diagnosed with cancer. A determined Dr. Bakty began working in tandem with oncologists and her mentor from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine to get her mother back to health. After meeting that challenge and completing her formal education, she embarked on her own mission to help her clients manage concerns such as weight gain, chronic illness, fatigue, and arthritis.
Today, Dr. Bakty integrates Eastern practices with Western medical services to tailor each treatment to individuals' needs. Acupuncture sessions may mesh with hormone-replacement therapies to bolster overall well-being, or cosmetic treatments such as Botox can address aesthetic concerns. Whatever the desired outcome, Dr. Bakty takes time to consult with patients, ensuring that she can outline an effective wellness plan and learn their favorite birthdays.

Japanese c-store sales fall 1 percent; British tobacco advertising curbed.
Sales at convenience stores in Japan dropped 1 percent on a same-store basis in November from a year earlier to 534.7 billion yen ($5.4 billion U.S.) for the fourth consecutive monthly fall, according to the Japan Franchise Association.
The number of customers visiting convenience stores rose 0.9 percent to some 900 million for the first increase in three months but they spent an average of 576 yen ($5.54 U.S.) per customer, down 1.4 percent, as sales of seasonal products were sluggish due to the unusually warm weather, the association said.
In other news, new controls on tobacco advertising have come into effect in Britain, the latest step in a government campaign against smoking.
The size of cigarette and tobacco advertising in stores, bars and clubs will now be limited to the size of a paperback book. Health warnings must also be displayed, occupying about a third of the space.
"These new regulations will mean that people will no longer be bombarded by the large, colorful tobacco advertising at their local supermarket or corner shop," said Health Secretary John Reid. "This is one element of our plans to help people stop smoking and reduce the numbers of people who take up the habit."
The new restrictions will be enforced by Trading Standards officials, who can levy fines of up to 5,000 pounds ($9,588 U.S.). Offenders can also be jailed for up to five months.
In November, the government proposed a smoking ban for all workplaces, public buildings, restaurants and all pubs in which food is served.

Something I realized yesterday
So I just started tying and I am working on zebra midges in size 18 and 20. And I really struggled with the first few I did but now I can actually get something that looks like what I would buy in the store.
But even though they are not perfect, they are mine. And that's a pretty cool feeling.
Re: Something I realized yesterday
Right on Chauncey. Being able to tie your own flies and make tweaks to existing patterns or develop your own variations is a very rewarding feeling. Wait until you catch some fish on them. Better still, wait until you hand some off to your buds and you watch them catch fish on them. :thumbsup:
Feel free to post some of your ties in the "What have you been tying" thread.
Re: Something I realized yesterday
That's the spirit!!! Go get em!!!:thumbsup:
Re: Something I realized yesterday
Congrats on starting. this might give you a few tips to help, not only with the midges but other flies too down the line.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/2/2013 (1658 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The RCMP unleashed a new tool from its policing arsenal on the weekend.
Fifteen additional officers were taken into Norway House for a three-day crack down on illegal booze.
The net result was an absence of alcohol-fuelled violence in the community.
"We're quite confident we curbed crime in that community, at least for the weekend," RCMP spokeswoman Sgt. Line Karpish said.
The weekend initiative is formally known as DART -- the Division Action Response Team, a project that takes officers from across the province into a community to deal with a specific or emerging crime issue.
Karpish said this was the first deployment of the Manitoba division's DART, adding it will likely be used in other communities when and where it's felt the need requires.
The DART officers almost doubled the number of RCMP officers normally in Norway House -- an officially dry reserve that is nevertheless plagued by alcohol-related problems and crime -- for the weekend and the combined forces were busy.
During the three-day blitz, DART members set up roadside checkstops that resulted in:
-- 302 vehicles checked;
-- one person charged with driving over .08;
-- 52 people charged under the Liquor Control Act;
-- 42 people charged under the Highway Traffic Act (many offences for unlicensed drivers and unregistered vehicles);
-- two people charged for possession of marijuana;
-- 1,464 bottles of beer and 32 bottles of liquor seized.
The result was a dramatic decline in the number of violent offences in the community compared with previous weekends, and a 50 per cent reduction in the number of calls for police. The only person jailed during the weekend was the impaired driver the DART blitz caught.
"This was something we've been asking the RCMP to do," Chief Ron Evans said. "We think it was useful."
Evans said the community has a history of alcohol-related violence. Although the community is dry, he said there is a legal vendor located near the reserve.
Evans said he realizes some alcohol-related problems will likely re-emerge next weekend without the large presence of police, but added he hopes the initiative will act as a deterrence.
Karpish said policing is often a reactive response, adding the DART project is a proactive approach to enforcement in a community.
"Unfortunately, alcohol is the fuel to violence," Karpish said. "If we get at the source of the problem, then it has a trickle-down effect for us, and it did in this case."

1The Dad Who Hid in a Giant Box to Surprise Daughter on Her Third Birthday
2The PFC Who Surprised His Family at a Chicago Blackhawks Game
Jeremy and Christian Taylor and their three youngest sons were reunited with their eldest son, PFC Hunter Taylor, during a Chicago Blackhawks home game.
The Hawks-loving crew, who has a tradition of watching games together, thought they were being honored as a military family when the Blackhawks invited them to the game. During a break in the game, United Center officials played a special holiday message from Hunter to his family on the Jumbotron. "I'll see you soon!" Hunter says in the video.
The family received the shock of a lifetime, when Hunter appeared at the gate immediately following the video.
After the game, the family met coach Joel Quenneville and several of the players.
3The U.S. Soldier Who Staged a Scuba Surprise Homecoming for His Family
Bethany Bronson and her four children were swimming with a family friend when he suggested they record video messages for Captain Bronson, who they thought was still in Afghanistan.
Her husband, who was yet not due to return from Afghanistan, then popped up out of the water in a scuba mask still wearing his uniform.
Delighted by the surprise, Captain Bronson's daughters immediately rushed up to him and hugged him screaming, "Daddy!"

5The Soldier Mom Who Surprised Her Son at His Basketball Game
6The Soldier Who Surprised His Parents by Popping Out of a Life-Sized G.I. Joe Box
Joann and Mark Windish didn't expect their son Matthew, a U.S. Army mechanic based in Korea, to come home until a few weeks later.

7The Marine Who Surprised His Sister With a Diploma at College Graduation
While graduating from Mid-America Christian University, Kacy Watson, 28, of Norman, OK, was completely caught off guard after hearing the presenter announce her brother's name, Staff Sgt. Michael Burkhart.
Watson had not seen her brother for almost a year. His commanding officer at Camp Pendleton, CA, had given him special permission to fly into Oklahoma City the night before her graduation.
8The Son Who Surprised His Mother Wearing a Santa Suit
Leslie Ruggiero thought her son, an Army mechanic serving in Afghanistan, would be spending the holidays thousands of miles away from their home in Brick, NJ. On Christmas Eve, Leslie and the other maternity ward nurses at Ocean County Medical Center were told Santa Claus was there to thank them for working during the holidays. Santa handed Leslie a red envelope that brought tears to her eyes – it was a postcard from her son, Army Spc. Travis Ruggiero.
As she clutched the card, Santa took off his red hat, beard and oversize glasses. It was Travis, who made it home for Christmas, even though he was not due to return until March.
9The Army Wife Who Surprised Husband with 96 Pound Weight Loss on His Return from Afghanistan
Misty Shaffer struggled with her weight all her life. When her husband was deployed to Afghanistan for a year, the Leland, NC woman decided to use his absence to commit herself to losing weight so she could surprise him when he came home.
In the year that Army Spc. Larry Shaffer was gone, his wife changed the way she ate. She switched to whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean meats. She drank more water and controlled her portion sizes.
Shaffer was a size 20 and tipped the scales at 250 pounds when she started. When her husband came home almost a year after, she weighed 154 pounds.
When Larry Shaffer got off the plane, he was stunned by his wife's weight loss. She had been standing behind a crowd of friends and family who had gathered to welcome him home, and when the crowd parted, Larry Shaffer got his first look at his newly slender wife.
In the year that the Shaffers were apart, they would Skype and Misty would send her husband pictures of their daughter and of herself, but she made sure that her images only showed her from the neck up. Her friends and family helped keep the secret, too. (Source)

Q Draft Rankings Released
With the Mooseheads playoff run ended we now turn our attention to building for next year.
While the Mooseheads exceeded most people's expectations for the young team this year, there are some areas that will need to be addressed in the off-season. A core of dynamic young offensive forwards the team will need to add some depth on the back end. At times this season a strong forecheck pinned the Moose in their own zone. The team could use a smooth skating defenseman that can start the breakout and perhaps quarterback the powerplay.
With the likely loss of Konrad Abeltshauser to the pro ranks, the Mooseheads could bring in a European player through the CHL Import Draft to fill some of the holes and will also have some 20-year-old slots to offset their young core. But of course the draft is an important tool to building a strong organization for the long term. So have a look at the scouting rankings.

Robocode is a game. There is a playfield in which two virtual robots fight against each other. A robot can perform certain actions, like moving around, scanning the environment, shooting and turning the gun. Robocode notified a robot if a significant event occurs, including: scanned the opponent, hit a wall, hit by a bullet or hit the opponent.
To write your own robot, you can use service functions that the Robocode platform offers. These service functions are plain Java methods. In the end, you write a Java class that represents your robot. Here is a screenshot of a Robocode battle:
It is also possible that more than two robots compete against each other, but we are more interested in the basic principles and skip that for simplicity.
With JGAP 3.0, the so-called Genetic Programming (GP) has been introduced. GP allows to write programs that conform to a specified syntax. Each program can the be executed and measured by a fitness function.
It is also possible producing Java code with JGAP. Simply put, you just let the used GP-commands return a String result. The String result represents a specific and valid Java command.
How that works is impressively demonstrated by Javier Meseguer and Enrique D. Martí. Their implementation uses JGAP to create an aspirant robot, test its fitness by competing against a strong opponent, evaluate the results of the virtual battle, and then do further evolutions. They also extended some Robocode base classes to make things work better. A very nice feature is the graphical display from Robocode to visualize the battles of the evolved robots against its opponent.
Please do the following:
Download RobocodeJGAP version 0.3 (contribution by Javier Meseguer and Enrique D. Martí, strongly extended by Klaus Meffert with help from Robocode's all-hands-person Flemming N. Larsen).
Extract the Robocode example into a folder of your choice.
Care that you have Java version 5 or 6 installed as JDK (Java Development Kit), a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is not enough. Care that your path variable is set appropriately. Java 7 is not officially supported!
Start the example by running of the provided batch files (.bat) respectively the corresponding commands necessary on Linux systems. Let the example run for some minutes. It may take some time until a good solution is found. Please notice: Don't place the files in a directory that contains spaces or special characters. This may cause problems with Java security.
The battle is undertaken by the currently evolved robot. You can turn on the graphical display by adding the "-gui" option in the previous step at the end of the command in the batch file. It takes some time until the GUI appears as it is quite time-consuming and is just there for demonstration purposes. Otherwise you can see the evolution by examining the log messages.
When looking at the provided batch files: The command-line parameter "-enemy" lets you specify an individual opponent for your robot to compete with. After the "-enemy" option you have to give the name of your class, e.g. "myrobots.MyRobot" for class MyRobot that resides in subdirectory myrobots. In the above call, Aspirant3285 is used.
If you plan to run RobocodeJGAP from within your IDE, please notice that all command line options are set accordingly to the options in the batch files from the previous step! Especially take care that JAVA_HOME ist set correctly and that tools.jar is in your classpath!
By looking in the robots/jgap subfolder you can see the robot's source code generated with JGAP (file: Aspirant.java - click on link for sample code evolved).
As for every individual robot evolved the Java compiler has to be invoked, computation may take some time. In the future the JGAP Grid will enable to compute such things distributedly in a LAN and/or WAN.
Feedback is very welcome!
It is possible using several options to control how RobocodeJGAP evolves robots. These options are:
|-enemies <filename>
The filename given defines a test file. Each line contains the full name of an enemy to fight against. A sample content of such a file could
be (2 lines shown! No empty line):
--- begin after this line:
It is important to have the referenced robots available to RobocodeJGAP. Thus, they have to be under the robots directory.
Also see -battleAll
|-enemy <robot>
|Specifies a single enemy robot. Full robot name must be given, e.g. sample.TrackFire
Only in conjunction with -enemies. If given, the robot to be evolved
battles against all robots from -enemies in one round. Then, the
score is the average of all fights in the round.
If the option is omitted, in each round a single opponent is chosen randomly from the list of opponents given with -enemies.
The evolved robot extends the AdvancedRobot class. Thus, advanced
commands can be used.
If omitted, the ordinary Robot class is extended. Not all commands are available.
|-fastTry <tries>
|This is for testing purposes only. It skips invoking the Robocode engine for <tries> times.
|-maxFitness <value>
After a robot has been evolved with a fitness of <value> or
higher, the program stops.
If option is missing, a default of 15000 is used.
|-minFitness <value>
Only robots with a fitness value of <value> or higher are
dumped to a file on disk.
If option is missing, a default of 500 is used.
|-maxGenerations <value>
|Maximum number of generations after which computation will be stopped (hard exit).
|-maxDepth1..4 <value>
Maximum depth of sub program i, with i =
|-roundsStart <value>
|For the first generations (at the moment 15) only <value> rounds are executed in a single battle. This is to speed up computation by gaining faster preliminary results.
|-roundsMature <value>
After the first generations (see above) <value> rounds are
executed in a single battle. For your information: In RoboRumble
35 rounds are used, which is quite a lot.
Also see -adaptRounds
|-adaptRounds <value>
|If this option is given, in any case the number of rounds from option -roundsStart is battled. The only exception is f the fitness value determined with the battle is <value> or higher. Then, and only then the number of rounds from option -roundsMature is battled.
|If given, no intermediary code is printed to the console/log. Intermediary code is such that is not output as a new best solution. Using this option makes the log more readable but less detailled.
|-continue <filename>
Continues evolution by reading in a previous state from file <filename>.
Also see -save
|-save <filename>
Persists the state of evolution every 10 rounds to file <filename>.
Also see -continue
The options are case-insensitive. Therefore it does not matter if you write -noProgOutput or -noprogoutput.
A lot of people asked for the source code of RobocodeJGAP. Normally, I don't give it away due to the following reasons:
1) JGAP had to be adapted and extended a lot to play together with RobocodeJGAP.
2) The original RobocodeJGAP version from Javier and Enrique was strongly extended in order to get better results.
3) Keeping RobocodeJGAP up-to-date is time-consuming.
4) It is always paramount to give the best support possible. This is only possible if the number of requests does not get too high.
5) JGAP itself as the major component is open source. Really a lot of effort was put into JGAP and RobocodeJGAP as well. In the last time, there was not much code contribution from other people. It's hard keeping up with two time-comsuming open source projects besides a regular job, so RobocodeJGAP currently is not open source, but JGAP is.
6) RobocodeJGAP is complex and is in a long-lasting beta-stage. The point of ending beta is defined as the time when RobocodeJGAP is able to evolve really competitive robots.
For these tasks, I invested a lot of my spare time. No one helped with that, although there were some offers which didn't get reality (meaning additionl effort). So I decided to only give the code to people donating at least 25 Euros to JGAP. If you donated and want to receive the source code of RobocodeJGAP, please send a short note after donating, using the email address you want to get a reply to.
Thank you for your understanding.

Windows® 8 refresh feature makes it easy for you!
Refresh feature is something that most of the Windows users would love. This is not the regular 'refresh' that happens when you click 'F5'. The reinstallation option in Windows 8 is called Refresh. Let's see how this is useful to the users.
Refresh is an option which reinstalls Windows 8 on your PC with all your data and settings intact. Isn't that sweet! How many times have you reinstalled the operating system (earlier versions like Windows XP and Windows 7) because of a persistent trouble? How many times have you started afresh because of that? With the Refresh option, you don't have to start from the beginning again; the race gets a little easier now.
Microsoft is here to please users with Windows 8 and looks like it is doing a great job. This Refresh feature takes your personal data, applications, and other settings and puts them back in their place after reinstalling the operating system.
If you're not sure where the problems lie and want to uninstall programs that you think might be the problem, you must uninstall them before the Refresh happens. You can also customize the Refresh on Windows 8. However, this option is best suited for the power users and not for one and all.
Before refreshing your operating system, you need to make sure about the applications and the settings that you exactly want. Once you set up your PC the way you want it, you need to capture the image of the operating system using the recimg.exe tool. This process is described on Microsoft's blog for any assistance.
Here's how you can Refresh your Windows 8:
- Click on 'Control Panel' and select the option 'Recovery'
- This will open a dialog box where you need to select the option 'Refresh or Reset your PC'
- Select the "Refresh' option for the operating system to be re-installed.
Fifteen minutes is what it might take to refresh the operating system and it is easy for all kinds of users. You never have to worry about the data that's lost because of reinstalling your operating system anymore!

WALKERS have been told to head out with 'essential kit' after a New Year's Day call-out for Lake District mountain rescuers.
A couple lost in the dark on Scandale Pass, Kirkstone, did not have a torch with them and had intermittent signal on their mobile phone.
After being contacted by police, Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team sent two search parties, including two search dogs, to locate the pair.
The couple left Sykeside Campsite to go for a walk before lunch but became lost when darkness fell at around 5.15pm so called 999 for help.
Rescuers found them nearly three hours later at 8pm and escorted them back to their campsite.
A Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team spokesman said: "Walkers are reminded that a torch, together with a map and compass, are essential kit for all fell walks."

CERTAIN tells the complete story of the healthcare system – the good and bad. It also helps the system learn by applying solutions when bad outcomes are happening too often. The patient's perspective is vital to telling that story. When researchers study healthcare, they usually use information they get from hospitals and doctors, but CERTAIN is different. With CERTAIN, researchers also have information that patients report to create a more complete picture of the care that was received. Only patients can tell if the treatment actually improved their quality of life, or if they were satisfied with the way treatment turned out. That's the most important information in understanding healthcare, and now CERTAIN allows that voice to be heard.
Why is this important to you? Imagine you've been asked to consider having an operation that puts a stent in an artery that is blocked. You are trying to decide if the procedure is right for you. Research can provide information about the procedure, but if researchers are limited to data that comes from hospitals (such how much time people stay in the hospital after the operation) or the clinician (such as whether the stent successfully opened after being placed), the most important information will be missing - the patient's voice. CERTAIN includes the patient perspective (for example, after the stent was placed, I was able to do more of what I like to do), from thousands of patients just like you. This is the information we want researchers to use so that their research is more helpful when we have to make decisions.
Get Involved with CERTAIN!
You can get involved with CERTAIN by participating in one of our research studies or helping us develop future studies by providing your input and experience as a patient. We currently are working with patients with these diseases or conditions:
If you have one of these conditions or diseases, contact us to tell us you are interested in helping us improve healthcare in Washington State!

Egyptians were electing a president freely for the first time yesterday, making a daunting choice between a former general of the old guard and an Islamist who says he is running for God.
Many were perplexed and fearful of the future and signs were that, as in last month's first round, millions would not vote. The contest, pitting Hosni Mubarak's last prime minister, Ahmed Shafik, against Mohamed Morsy ,of the Muslim Brotherhood, the veteran Islamist movement, is supposed to seal a democratic transition that began with Mubarak's overthrow 16 months ago.
But concern over a backlash among the disappointed losers saw the interior ministry put forces on alert across the country for the end of two days of voting at 10pm.
"We have to vote because these elections are historic," said Amr Omar, voting in Cairo, who called himself an activist of the youth revolution.
Reluctantly putting aside misgivings about the Brotherhood's religious agenda, he said: "I will vote for Morsy. Even if it means electing the hypocritical Islamists, we must break the vicious cycle of Mubarak's police state."
But many other Egyptians, weary of political turmoil and the economic crisis it has brought, believe Shafik has the backing of the "deep state" – entrenched interests from the military to big business – and so may be better placed to bring prosperity.
Privately, officials from both camps suggested Shafik had edged ahead with five hours of busy evening voting still ahead.
The election comes amid a constitutional crisis and a stand-off between the ruling generals and the Brotherhood, which emerged from decades of repression under Mubarak and previous military leaders to sweep the parliamentary vote.
Those gains crumbled last week when senior judges, appointed under Mubarak, ruled that election void and the ruling military council dissolved parliament – a move met with only a muted reaction from many, who felt the Brotherhood had pushed its own particular interests too hard over the past few months.
Egyptians massed in their millions against Mubarak in January last year in the hope that his removal would end poverty, corruption and police brutality. Many now seem tired of the social turmoil and political bickering that ensued.
The majority who voted for neither Shafik nor Morsy in a first-round presidential vote last month now face what they see as a stale contest between a military establishment and its perennial foe, which smothers hopes for a change for the better.
Many Egyptians may be staying away, but a sample of voter comments near polling stations suggest many had put aside doubts about Shafik, whose campaign has gained momentum since he entered the race a few months ago as an outsider.
Waleed Mohamed, 35, voting in Cairo, said he chose Shafik, while his wife Hind Adel has opted for Morsy. "That's democracy for you," she said. "Everyone has their opinion… No one knows who will win. God knows."
Monitors said they had seen only minor and scattered breaches of election rules by yesterday morning, but not the kind of systematic fraud that tainted elections under Mubarak. Monitors and vote officials said the turnout seemed lower on Saturday and yesterday than in the first-round ballot.
Yesterday, the state-run Al-Ahram newspaper's website said the military would issue a constitutional declaration within 48 hours to outline the president's powers, including appointing officials, calling parliamentary elections and outlining new rules for appointing an assembly to draft a new constitution.
But senior Brotherhood official Mahmoud Ghozlan said the ruling military council did not have the right to issue a constitutional declaration or make rules on how the constituent assembly should be formed.
