With several countries currently building nuclear power plants and planning the construction of more to meet long-term increases in electricity demand, uranium resources, production and demand remain topics of notable interest. In response to the projected growth in demand for uranium and declining inventories, the uranium industry – the first critical link in the fuel supply chain for nuclear reactors – is boosting production and developing plans for further increases in the near future. Strong market conditions will, however, be necessary to trigger the investments required to meet projected demand.
The "Red Book", jointly prepared by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency and the International Atomic Energy Agency, is a recognised world reference on uranium. It is based on information compiled in 40 countries, including those that are major producers and consumers of uranium. This 23rd edition provides a comprehensive review of world uranium supply and demand as of 1 January 2009, as well as data on global uranium exploration, resources, production and reactor-related requirements. It provides substantive new information from major uranium production centres around the world, as well as from countries developing production centres for the first time. Projections of nuclear generating capacity and reactor-related uranium requirements through 2035 are also featured, along with an analysis of long-term uranium supply and demand issues.

Repairs costing around £100,000 need to be made to Beeding Bridge in Upper Beeding to make it safer for the public.
Following a routine safety check, West Sussex County Council found the bridge needed strengthening so buses and heavy vehicles can continue to cross it safely.
If the work is not carried out, the county council says it would be forced to put weight restrictions on the bridge or, if deterioration was to continue, shut it completely.
The bridge will be closed for five weeks from Monday, January 20, for the refurbishment to take place.
The footbridge adjacent to Beeding Bridge will remain open so pedestrians can still cross.
A signed diversion is being put in place for motorists along the A283 between Upper Beeding and Steyning.
Residents who want to find out any more information about the works are invited to a public drop-in session, which is being held on Wednesday, January 15 at the Old Tollgate Hotel (Gate Room), The Street, Bramber, Steyning, BN44 3WE.
It takes place between 6pm and 8pm.
Officers from West Sussex County Council and contractor Balfour Beatty will be on hand throughout the evening to answer questions.
County Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, Pieter Montyn, said: "This is a task which has to be done.
"We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause while the bridge is closed.
"However, we feel it is much more preferable to shut it for five weeks while works take place, rather than allowing it to deteriorate and cause greater disruption in the long term."
Bus services provided by Brighton & Hove Buses and Compass Travel that normally serve Upper Beeding and Bramber will be suspended for the duration of the works. A free shuttle service will be in operation between Upper Beeding, Bramber and Steyning where the service will connect with the regular services provided by Brighton & Hove Buses and Compass Travel.

Search for missing vessel enters third day as President Mauricio Macri vows to do everything possible to locate vessel.Read More
Monday, 23 April 2012 10:30
The head of the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company has said it has terminated its contract to ship gas to Israel because of violations of contractual obligations, a decision Israel said overshadowed the peace agreement between the two countries.
Mohamed Shoeb, the gas company's top official, said Sunday's decision was not political. "This has nothing to do with anything outside of the commercial relations,'' Shoeb said.
He said Israel had not paid for its gas in four months. Yigal Palmor, Israeli foreign ministry spokesman, denied the claim of not paying.
The 2005 Egypt-Israel gas deal has come under strident criticism from leaders of the popular uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak, the longtime Egyptian president, last year.
Critics charge that Israel got bargain prices, and Mubarak cronies skimmed millions of dollars off the proceeds.
The sale of gas to Israel, which signed a peace treaty with Egypt in 1979, has always been controversial in the Arab world's most populous country. It was the largest trade deal between the two former foes.
Egyptian militants have blown up the gas pipeline to Israel 14 times since the uprising.
'Bad faith'
On Sunday, Yuval Steinitz, Israel's finance minister, said the unilateral Egyptian announcement was of "great concern'' politically and economically.
"This is a dangerous precedent that overshadows the peace agreements and the peaceful atmosphere between Israel and Egypt,'' he said in a statement.
Israel relies on Egyptian natural gas for 40 per cent of its supplies to produce electricity, the chairman of a government holding firm said on Sunday.
The Israeli side said the decision was "unlawful and in bad faith", accusing the Egyptian side of failing to supply the gas quantities it is owed. The dispute is under international arbitration.
Israel insists it is paying a fair price for the gas.
Al Jazeera's Mike Hanna, reporting from Cairo, said the row would have major political consequences.
"At the base of it, this is a commercial dispute, which has in reality been under international arbitration since September last year," he said.
"But when this agreement was reached in 2005, it was subject to government approvals of Israel and Egypt, many believe under pressure from the government of the US.
"So although this maybe a commercial situation at the moment, this is an issue that will have immense political, international fallout in the days to come."
Mubarak defended
In January, a lawyer defending Mubarak told a Cairo court that there was not a shred of evidence linking the deposed Egyptian president to the controversial gas deal.
Farid al-Deeb said Egypt's spy agency negotiated the deal in line with international norms.
"There isn't an ounce of evidence that Mubarak was involved in the deal to import gas to Israel," costing the state $714m in losses, Deeb told the court.
Among the shareholders of East Mediterranean, the joint Egyptian-Israeli company that carries the gas to Israel, is Hussein Salem, a close friend of Mubarak.
After the many disruptions to the supply of gas over the past year, Israeli ministers have urged the speedy exploitation of recently discovered gas fields off the country's northern coast.
Israeli officials believe that exploitation of two major natural gas fields could compensate for the loss of Egyptian gas.
Israel has already moved to begin exploiting the fields, signing a deal with Cyprus to mark out maritime borders, but it faces challenges from Lebanon, which claims that the gas fields lie in its territorial waters.
Perry also said that the attacks on the pipeline had become a major problem for Israel in the past 14 months, and as a result the country had to purchase gas supplies from other countries as far away as Mexico.
"The price of electricity has gone up 20 per cent and the cost of living continues to go up as well," Perry said.

Myth Girls & the Art of Making Books
For several years now, I have been on the board of an experimental literary press where we have spent a great deal of time trying to figure out how to keep the printed book vibrant and alive. At Les Figues Press, we decided to publish books in unique dimensions and we coupled each author's work with the visual work of another artist, hoping against hope that the resulting physical object would convince even the most cyber-savvy readers to purchase our special little hunks of pulverized tree.
So I contantly keep my eyes peeled for efforts to revitalize interest in the printed book. My most recent encounter with an inspiring innovation was in Medellin, Colombia, where the intrepid forces behind Proyecto Liquido – a group that explores the overlapping territory in fiction, art, science and technology – had transformed an online short story published 18 years ago into a surprisingly layered tactile experience.
With a black rubberized cover (not unlike the one on my iPad), Kij Johnson's Chicas Miticas (Myth Girls) feels more like a machine than a book. Everything inside is dual: from the bilingual translation (Spanish and English) to the double-sided format (the book is basically composed of two pamphlets facing one another). While one side is devoted to a disturbing tale about the terrible cost of freedom, the opposite renders the story into sleek, hyper-polished illustrations by Oscar Gonzalez, one of the five collaborators who transformed Johnson's story into this unique material object.
If the book were simply illustrated, and bound in this surprising way, it would have been arresting enough. But three pages into the lushly animated version of this stark tale, you finally see a depiction of the main character, but only from behind, and rendered on vellum, so that you can see her ghost-like presence in two inhuman vistas, extended by a trifold. A few pages further in, you reach the material heart of the work, where lush illustrations bleed into layered vellum inserts and – I kid you not – a ripped quilted jacket is sewn directly onto the page.

Launching the Media Impact Project
Yesterday, I was very excited to launch the Media Impact Project, which aspires to be a global hub for the best research on measuring the impact of media. Supported by $3.25 million in initial funding from the Gates and Knight Foundations, I'm optimistic that the Norman Lear Center can help make media more accountable to audiences and contribute to a better understanding of the role that media plays in people's lives.
The New York Times picked up the story and I was thrilled to see reporter Michael Cieply focus on this aspect of the program:
How do you measure the impact of TED?
Not only do I get to go to TED this year (hooray!) but I also had the great pleasure of participating in a truly brain-tingling workshop whose goal was to help TED figure out how to better facilitate the spread of breakthrough ideas.
Of course everybody (and their mother) is obsessed with web analytics these days: how many hits did I get? How many likes? But media engagement pros (and the workshop was chock full of them) realize that counting clicks doesn't really begin to tell the full story. Who's clicking and why? Did they talk to their dad about that TED talk over breakfast? Did they laugh or cry? Did they feel empowered to do something? Did they make a donation? It can be really difficult to accurately measure the impact of any piece of media (including a TED video) without finding a way to bridge that daunting divide between online click trails and offline actions. One way to do it? Surveys!
I'm a big believer in supplementing rigorous web and social media analytics with survey research. And I'm an even bigger fan now that my team at the Lear Center has developed some innovative new methods for taking into account self-selection bias in media consumption (i.e., only certain people decide to see certain TED videos – there's nothing random about it – which makes it tough to accurately measure impact).
So, imagine my delight when I heard that the Knight Foundation is partnering with TED to work on amplifying and measuring the impact of their content as it "ripples through society, producing technology tools and best practices for connected action."
One key theme that emerged at the workshop this weekend was the importance of sharing the discoveries that TED will make when they develop their new kick-ass website and state of the art dashboards for tracking engagement. Information is power and nothing is more empowering to an engaged audience than access to information about how their beloved TED talks, along with all the content and actions that they themselves have generated, are moving the needle.
I'm looking forward to what comes of this . . . stay tuned!
If you're at TED2013, be sure to check out the Knight-sponsored pavilion centered on Tech for Engagement.

Integrating Wind and Water Power, an Increasingly Tough Balancing Act
By PETER BEHR of ClimateWire

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration, the largest of 16 U.S. Department of Energy pilot projects, is under way in five Northwest states. It seeks ways to balance the region's huge base of hydroelectric power with its fast-expanding collection of wind farms.
With a budget of $178 million split evenly between an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant and local contributions by 11 utilities and other partners, the smart grid project (pdf) covers a wide array of missions. Charging plug-in electric vehicles, improving wind forecasting and creating a novel market "signal" meant to reflect a higher value for low-carbon electricity are among them.
A critical experiment centers on coping with wind power's starts and stops by paying consumers to let utilities store surplus wind energy in hot water heaters. These and other energy conservation initiatives in the Northwest may become models for utilities and regulators elsewhere that are also facing the challenges of managing intermittent renewable energy flows, officials here say.
"We hope to learn a lot about wind integration. It is an important issue for the nation, the Pacific Northwest and Bonneville," said Lee Hall, Bonneville's Smart Grid Program Manager.
The Northwest needs some answers urgently.
"Right now, there is a major challenge in accommodating wind power," said Jeffrey King, senior resource analyst at the Northwest Power and Conservation Council in Portland. The council's Sixth Northwest Conservation and Electric Power Plan, issued this year, sets the region's energy agenda through 2015.
Until now, hydro dams have primarily backed up wind, adding energy when wind speeds wane and backing off when wind picks up. Those days are numbered, because the queue of wind projects continues to grow.
"We're getting to the end of the ability to use the hydro system for balancing," said Eric King, wind integration project manager at the Bonneville Power Administration, which markets the electricity from the region's federal dams.
More wind requires a more reliable backstop
If all politics is local, the Pacific Northwest stands for the proposition that all energy policy is regional. A traveler headed east from Portland through the sculpted Columbia River Gorge encounters the hydro dams first, beginning with the New Deal-era Bonneville installation. The first of more than 600 towering wind turbines come into view an hour later along the river's ridges.
Since 1998, wind developers have added 4,000 megawatts of wind power generation capacity, which is available about one-third of the time. The region has about 33,000 megawatts of hydropower and can call on about half of that on average, because of seasonal low water conditions.
Half of the new wind energy is purchased by California utilities to meet their state's demanding renewable energy requirements, said Jeffrey King. Oregon, Washington and Montana also have state renewable portfolio standards, contributing to a demand that could possibly push wind generation capacity as high as 12,000 megawatts in 2016, three times the current amount, according to the council's report.
But wind and water aren't turning out to be such good neighbors, said Steve Weiss, senior policy associate at the NW Energy Coalition, an advocate for clean energy and environmental protection in the Columbia River Basin. "Hydro sounds like it's a great fit for wind, but it turns out to be pretty terrible fit."
When the river is high and the wind blows hard, the region can be confronted with too much power. Hydropower from the region's dams could provide a fast-acting backstop when wind power suddenly ramps up or down, but the Columbia's flow has many claimants.
"There are lots of operational parameters that have to be addressed, including flood control, navigation, irrigation, recreation, and, of course, the compliance with the Endangered Species Act," said BPA's Hall. During the spring months, when melting snow fills the Columbia basis, dam operators are stretched to manage the river flow through their systems: Too much spillage over the dam can upset the river's oxygen-nitrogen balance, killing salmon.
Storing surplus energy in home hot water heaters
"Everybody is relying on the hydro system, and hydro can't really flex that much," said Weiss. "It certainly can't flex cheaply."
"It's pretty urgent," said Terry Morlan, division director of the council's Power Planning Division. "Bonneville had to scramble like crazy to deal with some of the situations where wind ramps up and down quickly."

Financial crises and the evaporation of trust
Trust lies at the crux of most economic transactions, with credit markets being a notable example. Drawing on insights from the literature on coordination games and network growth, we develop a simple model to clarify how trust breaks down in financial systems. We show how the arrival of bad news about a financial agent can lead others to lose confidence in it and how this, in turn, can spread across the entire system. Our results emphasize the role of hysteresis -- it takes considerable effort to regain trust once it has been broken. Although simple, the model provides a plausible account of the credit freeze that followed the global financial crisis of 2007/8, both in terms of the sequence of events and the measures taken (and being proposed) by the authorities.

Jun 16, 2014, 07:50 ET from SAIC
MCLEAN, Va., June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Defense Industry Initiative (DII) on Business Ethics and Conduct has named Science Applications International Corporation (NYSE: SAIC) CEO Anthony J. Moraco and Chief Ethics Officer Laura K. Kennedy as the organization's new Steering Committee Chair and Working Group Chair, respectively. Moraco and Kennedy succeed Lockheed Martin Corporation's CEO and President Marillyn A. Hewson and Vice President of Ethics and Sustainability Leo S. Mackay, Jr.
DII made the announcement at its annual Best Practices Forum in Washington, D.C. on June 6. DII is a nonpartisan, non-profit association of responsible U.S. defense companies committed to conducting business affairs at the highest ethical standards and in full compliance with the letter and spirit of the law.
"DII has been a guiding force helping the nation's top defense organizations to establish firm ethics and compliance programs for more than 28 years. SAIC is honored to be chosen for these key leadership positions in DII," said Moraco. "We look forward to our new roles within this organization and to promoting the best ethical practices for the defense industry."

BERLIN (ICIS)--Turkish polyolefins' producer Petkim has raised its polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) prices by $10-25/tonne, sources said on Thursday.
PP prices were raised by $20/tonne (€15/tonne), PE by $10-20/tonne, depending on grade, and PVC by $25/tonne.
PP prices have risen sharply in the past few weeks, and they are still rising as June business looms. Levels at the end of April were still often below $1,400/tonne CFR (cost and freight), but this week below $1,500/tonne CFR was hard to find.
Similarly PE prices have risen sharply. End April high density polyethylene (HDPE) prices have risen from $1,380/tonne at the end of April, to around $1,450/tonne CFR on Thursday.
Low-priced European PE and PP are no longer offered as availability in the region has tightened on improved demand and reduced output.
European PVC export prices have also risen in the past few weeks as buyers returned to the market after previously remaining on the sidelines on the expectation that prices would fall.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Special Guests
Saturday, January 22, 2005
Rhonda VincentHer biography is almost hard to read. She started playing when she was five years old and by age six was the drummer in the family band, the Sally Mountain Show. She was a major star before she graduated from high school.
She has 21 albums out on her own and has been a guest on 29 others. She has 9 videos to her credit and began winning awards in 1973, when she was the Missouri State Fiddle Champion; 38 more have followed, both instrumental and vocal, including a Grammy in 2004. The Wall Street Journal called her "The New Queen of Bluegrass." They apparently know their bluegrass out there on Wall Street.
She is an innovator, the first woman to break from traditional forms into a more complex and faster-paced instrumental style, and writing her own music in the process. Her latest CD is rightly named One Step Ahead. She is also about to release a new DVD called Ragin' Live on the Rounder Records label.
Jim LauderdaleHis name is not generally a household word unless the household is in Nashville, but he has released ten albums of his own and his songs have been recorded on 81 others. Some have been hits for Vince Gill or George Strait and others have been recorded by artists as diverse as John Mayall, Dave Edmunds, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Lucinda Williams. And some were recorded with Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys, in a Grammy™-winning album titled Lost in the Lonesome Pines, on Dualtone Records.
He writes tunes in a wide variety of styles, but his strongest critical praise comes for the hard country honkytonk music of Bakersfield- the Buck Owens and Merle Haggard styles - and for the bluegrass sounds of East Tennessee and the Appalachians. He has the ability to write music that a person thinks they may have heard somewhere, perhaps sometime a while back.
His own latest recording is Headed for the Hills, co-written with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter on Dualtone.
John NiemannHe got started in music at the right time and place, and for the right reasons; he was in high school and there were girls there. He began with Leo Fender's gift to the world, the electric bass, and started a rock and roll band. In college he discovered acoustic music on the West Bank in Minneapolis and learned the guitar, fiddle and mandolin, eventually finding himself playing a 1920s Gibson mandocello in Peter Ostroushko's band, the Mando Boys. He played kick-butt fiddle for seven years in the Stoney Lonesome bluegrass band, did a number of guitar gigs with various honkytonk bands around the cities, and for three years was in "the house band at a place called Billy Bob's, or something," at Riverplace. After years spent as a road musician and working in construction, he has settled into the relatively quiet St. Paul life of a finish carpenter. He keeps his music honed with jam sessions in the basement.
Old Sweet Songs: A Prairie Home Companion 1974-1976
Lovingly selected from the earliest archives of A Prairie Home Companion, this heirloom collection represents the music from earliest years of the now legendary show: 1974–1976. With songs and tunes from jazz pianist Butch Thompson, mandolin maestro Peter Ostroushko, Dakota Dave Hull and the first house band, The Powdermilk Biscuit Band (Adam Granger, Bob Douglas and Mary DuShane).

NWC to host Hawk Nelson's Live Life Loud Tour
Monday, March 8, 2010
Northwestern College will host the Live Life Loud Tour, featuring Hawk Nelson with Group 1 Crew and A Road Less Traveled, at the Rowenhorst Student Center on Saturday, April 17, at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets for the Christian concert are $10 in advance, $15 at the door, and $8 in advance for groups of 10 or more. VIP tickets—including early admission meet-and-greet passes and a T-shirt—are available for $35. Tickets can be purchased at the Dove in Orange City, True Vine in Sioux Center, Family Christian Book Store in Sioux City or Crossroads Book and Music in Sioux Falls. They are also available at www.nwciowa.edu/concerts or by calling 712-707-7295.
Hawk Nelson released its fourth album on the Tooth & Nail label, Live Life Loud, last fall, and it was named one of the top 20 albums of 2009 by www.cmspin.com. The Canadian quartet was named Favorite New Artist by the readers of CCM magazine in 2004, won a GMA Canada Covenant Award for its second album in 2006, and earned a GRAMMY nomination in 2008.
Bassist Daniel Biro says Live Life Loud encompasses the overall theme of Hawk Nelson. "Things can get a little loud with our music. And we've always wanted to encourage our fans to pursue their dreams—to not settle for second best in life. Be bold. Let your voice be heard."
Hawk Nelson's pop-punk and pop-rock songs have been included in feature films and TV shows such as Laguna Beach, Melrose Place and Smallville. Four of their songs have reached the top of radio charts: Everything You Ever Wanted, Let's Dance, Things We Go Through and Every Little Thing.
Urban pop and hip-hop trio Group 1 Crew earned a Dove Award for its self-titled debut recording in 2008. The ensemble followed that up with a second Dove Award for Ordinary Dreamers last year.
A Road Less Traveled is a five-member band that earned national airplay for two songs off its debut album in 2008. The Texas-based group released its sophomore recording, Of a Captive Heart, last November.

Hi pokecommunity! I'm MageX, i'm italian and i'm a great Pokemon Fan! I like fire and electric pokemon, and i'm also a Rom Hacker
September 5th, 2013, 2:01 PM
Hi there MageX! Welcome to the forum! Hope you're having a great day today. :)
I'm assuming you're here partly (or fully?) to dive into the hacking boards so check those out here (http://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=156)! You can ask questions regarding ROM hacks/emulation and even get help for your own game. That includes mods, tutorials, and other resources like a scripting help thread. You can ask hacking-related questions you have over at the simple questions thread (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=79614), too. I can't help you out with your hack since I don't go there very often, but you'll definitely find all the assistance you need if you explore there. Even the Emulation moderators are pretty knowledgeable in that department!
Have a great stay on PC, all right?! Maybe you'll consider checking out the Pokemon Clubs (http://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=24) board sometime? It should have clubs for electric and fire types. That's always a great way to get a feel for our community. Up to you!
Thanks for joining and feel free to message me if you need any help at all. I'm here to point you in the right direction anytime~ ♥
September 5th, 2013, 4:10 PM
Hi MageX and welcome!
As Cirno said, if you came for ROM hacks you should pop over by the Emulation & ROM Hacking section which is PC's main hub for all hackers out there. It's the most popular section on the forums so I bet you'll enjoy it over there, and aside from resources you can use to make hacks there's also hacks you can downloads and play. I sadly won't be able to assist you there since I'm not a hacker but someone else over there will be able to help.
I do hope you have an awesome time here, and maybe take time to check out all the other sections here if you need a break from hacks. Pokemon Clubs is a good one like Cirno recommended since joining clubs can be great for making new friends. Anyways, I do hope to see you around and if you need help don't hesitate to ask any staff members!

Windows 7 Ultimate RTM (Technet)
I got my Windows 7 upgrade installed and set about installing my radio remote control programs into the machine. This unit operates UNattended most of the time and it is essential that it a) operate reliably and b) be able to automatically recover to normal operation should there be a power failure and c) It has to be able to send and receive files over the LAN to other computers HDs as needed.
With Windows 7, some of this turned out to be problematical. As delivered, Windows 7, when booted, comes to the LOGIN icon and waits for the user to input a password and press the button. This is totally incompatible with UNattended operation. So.. I set about trying to input the old XP/VISTA trick of running "control userpasswords2", then going to the Users window that pops up and UNclicking the "users must login to access this computer" option. UNFORTUNATELY, this option does not work in Windows 7 Professional Edition.
So.. I phone up MS Tech Support and am lucky to find a very cooperative and fairly knowledgable Technician. He understands my problem immediately and tells me that what I want to do is not possible. Says he, USERS MUST click the login button but we can elimiate the password.. Not good enough says I.
If you eliminate the password, then (at least on XP) you cannot access disk drives on networked computers. But I decided to let that one go for awhile.
The Tech set about to try dozens of things. We verfied that the "control userpasswords2" function did not work. Then he went off for awhile and came back and, using remote access, thrashed about for half an hour trying many things. Finally he said, NOW.. Try the control userpasswords2 command again. I did so and THAT TIME it worked. I Unchecked the "users must login....." feature and exited. I found that a) The machine would boot up and no password input was required and b) No one had to press the login icon and YES! I could still access the remote computer's disk drives even though my administrator user name had no password!
So.. All this is possible in Win7, but the Win7 folks (in their great wisdom) have made it impossible for ordinary system builders to do what we need to do.
I build a lot of computers for a) video security systems, b) mail servers, c) building automation displays, and d) even my own ham radio computer. All these need to be able to boot up UNattended without human intervention.
Since the TECH went away, the "control userpasswords2" command has been inoperative. Does anyone know how to repeat the above and have the functionality above come alive in Windows 7 WITHOUT having to spend an hour on the phone with MicroSoft Tech Support?

Upgrade to Ultimate...the "control userpasswords2" thing works just fine for me.[/QUOTE]
Hmmmm.. Upgraded to Win7 ULTIMATE just to get so you can boot up without having human intervention. Sounds like something Mickey MicroSoft Marketing would think up! This sort of thing is why I use Linux OS whereever I can.

Griffey's best moments as a Mariner
By Jim Street / MLB.com
He hit baseballs into the Kingdome seats with regularity, made great catches time and time again, met and married a local girl, scored the run that capped a remarkable playoff comeback and then talked his way into being traded to the team his father played for more than 20 years earlier.
The best baseball player to put on a Mariners uniform -- before or since - called it quits on Wednesday, ending a 21-year, two-month Major League career.
The Dash
Junior already had hit five home runs in the series when he came to bat in the 11th with Joey Cora on first base representing the tying run via a leadoff bunt single. Griffey sent Cora to third with a single up the middle. When Edgar Martinez followed with "The Double," Junior ran as fast as he could around the bases, sliding home with the series-clinching run.
The picture of him sprawled on the ground at home plate, at the bottom of the pile of players and that ear-to-ear grin wider than ever, said it all. It hasn't been quite the same since.The Walk-off
That home run sparked the Mariners' remarkable comeback from a 13 1/2-game deficit to the Angels in the AL West and an eventual division championship.An MVP
His best season started with a bang. Actually, a double bang, as he hit two homers off Yankees right-hander David Cone on Opening Night. He finished May with 24 home runs and hit No. 25 on June 2, missing by one day tying Babe Ruth for fastest to 25 dingers.The Series
After missing almost half of the '95 season with the shattered left wrist, Griffey was at the top of his game during a five-game Division Series against the Yankees.
Junior slugged two home runs in Seattle's Game 1 loss at Yankee Stadium. He gave the Mariners a one-run lead in the 12th inning of Game 2 with his third homer of the series, only to have the Yanks tie the game in the bottom of the inning and eventually win it in the bottom of the 15th.
After Seattle erased a five-run deficit in Game 4, Griffey put them ahead, 6-5, in the sixth inning with his fifth home run of the unforgettable seriesBack-to-back
"That's how it's done, son," Senior said.
Junior stepped to the plate and hit a ball to almost the exact same spot in left-center at Anaheim Stadium for his 20th homer of the season, and the Griffeys became the first father-son tandem in Major League history to hit back-to-back home runs.
To this day, they are the only father and son to hit a home run in the same game, let alone go back-to-back.The Wall Banger
Griffey, who had hit his seventh long ball of the season earlier in the game, sped toward the Kingdome wall in right-center, leaped, slammed into the barrier, caught the ball -- and shattered his right wrist.
Surgeons attached a four-inch metal plate with seven screws the next day, and Junior wondered if, not when, he would play again. After sitting out 73 games, he returned on Aug. 15 and finished the regular season batting .258 with 17 home runs and 48 RBIs.The Homer Streak
Griffey had hit home runs in seven straight games, leaving him one shy of the Major League record shared by Dale Long (1956) and Don Mattingly (1987). Right-hander Willie Banks was facing Griffey for the third time in the game, after retiring him on a strikeout and a groundout. But this time Junior bashed a ball 404 feet off the third-deck facing in right field for his 30th home run of the season -- and a piece of the record.The Catch
But it wasn't until he returned to earth, took the ball out of his glove and showed the world he had made a home-run-robbing catch that he actually deprived Barfield of his milestone moment. It was the third out of the inning, and Griffey gleefully sprinted off the field, wearing that famous grin of his.How sweet it is

After placing second at the Foot Locker regionals to qualify for the second year—"it's always in the back of your mind that you could have a bad race and not make it"—he went on to Florida for the nationals.
Ian's strategy was to run as easily as possible for the first two miles while staying near the front, but when he found himself in the lead "that kind of went out the window," he says. "My mindset changed and I just tried to push as hard as I could." Ian was passed first by eventual winner Dathan Ritzenhein, then at the tape by Don Sage. "It will be nice to run with Don next year [at Stanford] instead of against him," says Ian.
Thanks in part to his early pacesetting, the top eight runners broke the course record in what many termed one of the brightest days in the history of American scholastic running. "I was proud to be a part of that group," he says, noting that it's part of a rising tide of running talent in the U.S.
"A lot of people are realizing that you have to work hard to do well," Ian says. "For a while that work ethic was missing, and the high school times showed it. But I think it's coming back with this new generation." Having restored the luster to Oregon running, don't be surprised if Ian and his contemporaries do the same thing for the sport at the national level in the not-too-distant future.

I would rather have seen Gary go than Amy, but at least she can get that ankle treated now.
Judd wanted to be the tribe hero, but now that it's merge time, this should bite him in the ass. Hehheh His mouth alone should paint a big bull's eye on him and his prowess in the challenges and being first to solve the puzzle for Rafe should guide the arrow. His lame attempts to excuse his hotheadedness at TC were laughable.
I was surprised that no poster mentioned the croc that was listening to Skeledanni and Brandon choose the next TC victim. Definitely suspicious. hmm

When 35-year-old Dori Gilbert arrived at the Fashion Valley mall yesterday afternoon, her mission was to exchange a pair of children's shoes at J.C. Penney – but she left with a pair of orange patent leather Tory Burch flats.
Gilbert, a mother of three who says she shops on a tight budget, had never been into the Tony Burch boutique, which opened recently at Fashion Valley. That changed when celebrity stylist Robert Verdi, who was at the shopping center promoting a fashion show, spotted her peering into the window.
"Do you have the famous Tory Burch flats?" Verdi asked Gilbert.
"Do I look like I have famous clothes on?" she quipped. "I shop at Ross."
Verdi, who is known for his role on E! Entertainment Television's "Fashion Police," whisked Gilbert to the back of the store so she could try on the $200 shoes.
"They're comfortable," she said.
That was all Verdi needed to hear before dishing his fashion advice:
"I don't even like them, I love them!" he shouted.
Verdi purchased the shoes for Gilbert with a gift card, compliments of Simon Property Group Inc., which owns Fashion Valley mall and a slew of other shopping centers hosting the Simon Fashion Now runway show.
The shopping center was hosting a series of fashion shows with special appearances by Verdi and Christian Siriano, last season's winner of "Project Runway," a reality TV show for fashion designers. In addition, Verdi roamed the mall looking for unsuspecting shoppers to make fashion recommendations and purchase a designer item for them.
When Verdi left Gilbert with a shopping bag containing her designer shoes, she thanked him, then looked around and said: "Who is that man?"
Jessica Davis, 20, who waited outside the catwalk area for Verdi to sign autographs, knew who he was. The petite La Mesa resident stared at Verdi in awe and disbelief.
"My heart is pounding," Davis said. "I'm nervous."
Verdi surprised three other shoppers with free merchandise at the Juicy Couture and Carolina Herrera boutiques, which, like Tory Burch, were nearly empty save for the staff.
After the shopping spree, Verdi introduced a fashion show in which several mall retailers showcased their fall designs.
Vega Gutierrez, 22, who had never been to a fashion show before, said she enjoyed the spectacle and even saw a blouse she wanted.
"I like seeing how the clothes flow, instead of being stiff on a mannequin," Gutierrez said.

Booked in at the Vauxhall dealer I have used for 14 years for a paint job, so happy it is being done and know it will be done absolutly right, the only thing I am worried about is the VX dealer I am using tends to paint things better than the factory!!!! But at least it was localised to the bonnett!!


text: Indiana team rolls highest game in USBC Open history June 21, 2014 By Aaron Smith and Jessica GilgorUSBC Communications RENO, Nev. - Team Turbo Grips of Fort Wayne, Ind., rallied back from a disappointing opening game at the 2014 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships by rolling the first 1,300 team game in the 111-year history of the event.Led by Terry Rohrer's 298, Team Turbo Grips fired 1,318 at the National Bowling Stadium to surpass the 1,299 posted by 123Bowl.com of Naugatuck, Conn., on May 2.Rohrer, who rolled a 300 at the 2009 USBC Open Championships, was joined in the record-effort by George Palumbo (268), Kent Wagner (266), 2010 Team All-Events champion JR Raymond (258) and defending Regular Singles champion Zeke Bayt (228).Team Turbo Grips also moved into sixth place in Regular Team on Friday, adding games of 1,009 and 1,184 for a 3,511 series. Motion Plus Lanes of Cudahy, Wis., leads with 3,561.Raymond led the way for Team Turbo Grips with a 743 set and was followed by Palumbo (716), Rohrer (706), Bayt (674) and Wagner (672)."We didn't have a very good first game," said Bayt, who made his third Open Championships appearance. "A couple of us struggled with ball reaction, and then we found it. These guys bowled phenomenal. They said they didn't know what was going on, but I remembered someone shot 1,299, and that no one had ever shot 1,300. I looked up in the eighth frame and saw we still had a shot at 1,300."The team gave Rohrer the chance to secure the record with a strike on his first ball in the 10th frame, and he delivered. Although he fell short of becoming the 29th bowler in tournament history to have multiple perfect games on the championship lanes, Rohrer was surprised by the record and elated by his team's effort."I didn't realize what our team was shooting and didn't put the numbers together," said Rohrer, who made his 14th tournament appearance. "After I finished, they said we had set the record. We talked, had a plan in place and all worked together, and that was part of the magic today."The group will return to the lanes for doubles and singles Saturday at 2 p.m. EDT, and their performance will be featured live on BowlTV as Bayt puts his singles title on the line.Earlier in the day, Rohrer, Raymond and Bayt all found success on the high side of the 78-lane venue as they re-wrote the standings at the Storm Bowlers Journal Championships presented by USBC.Rohrer kicked things off with a 299 game on the side event's opening squad Friday morning and matched the effort later in the day with Raymond and Bayt, starting his second shift with another 299.The momentum continued for all three as they moved into the top three spots in Open Doubles. Raymond also came within one pin of the lead in Open Singles and in the Dual Entry standings.Raymond finished his set with a perfect game for a 779 series, catapulting him and Bayt (755) into the top doubles spot with 1,534. Raymond and Rohrer (748) moved into second with 1,527, and Bayt and Rohrer settled into third with 1,503. Devin Bidwell and Chris Drewes of Wichita, Kan., had taken the lead Wednesday with 1,495, while Steven Badovinac of Parker, Colo., remains atop the Open Singles and Dual Entry standings with 780.The Bowlers Journal Championships features the same 40-foot Sport-certified lane condition being used for doubles and singles at the Open Championships is being contested on lanes 69-78 at the NBS.Visit us on Facebook at the official USBC Open/Women's Championships page.Presenting sponsors for the 2014 USBC Open Championships include Circus Circus Reno, Eldorado Hotel Casino Reno and Silver Legacy Resort Casino Reno.

MOJO-393 is about letting the user define an alternate configuration element, thus changing the way the webstart plugin works.
For that the idea was to make the mojo field an interface, provide a default implementation in the plugin and let the user use plexus to instanciate a new implemenation.
so for most users we would have:
<configuration> <bla> </bla> </configuration>
and for some:
<configuration> <bla implementation="com....bla"> </bla> </configuration>
Unfortunately, today I am forced to specify the implementation in both cases. There's no way to inform the plugin to use the default implementation.
The plugin.xml contains:
<parameter> <name>bla</name> <type>...BlaInterface</type> <!-- that will fail --> ... </parameter>
I tried to use
/**@parameter implementation="...BlaImplementation"*/
BlaInterface bla;
but that fails as well.
Marking critical because it doesn't allow me add new features to the plugin without breaking the config.xml.

For this to work you also need new versions of maven-plugin-tools (2.1) and maven-plugin-plugin (2.3). I'm currently pushing to release theses on the dev list. If the votes go well they should be available within a week.
Added a comment to MWEBSTART-18. I think the invalid use of 'implementation="${....}
" is what's causing this error.
As far as I can see, the implementation attribute works properly in 2.0.5.
I believe this has not been properly fixed. I am now working on MWEBSTART-18 using maven 2.0.5 and maven doesn't add the default <implementation> to the generated plugin.xml file. Maybe my integration test was incorrect which led Kenney to think that
MNG-2352 was not a blocker ?
In the end, I think we need to make sure that the fix for PLX-219 is used by maven. Will try to trouble shoot the issue.
I removed link to
MNG-2352 as Kenney found out it wasn't dependent on it. Don't get it as PLX-219 made it in alpha-10. So maybe PLX-219 wasn't a blocker neither?
I don't get why it doesn't depend on the other issue as PLX-219 went
into plexus alpha-10-SNAPSHOT. Could there be some local repository caching issue of
some sort?
Reviewed the latest patch and ran a complete bootstrap to verify integration tests.
As far as I can see it does NOT depend on
Committed in revision 413054.
This patch appears to be working. I hope I created the patch correctly as I have other changes in my tree and this one is the last in the stack. Will refresh it if it's not OK.
The issue related to plexus-containers-default was that M2_HOME/core ships alpha-9.
I am rebuilding with forcing this to be alpha-10. Hope that will solve it.
I've updated the patch. Here's the updated status:
- the patch still applies to the 2.1-SNAPSHOT branch
- the patch contains all changes into one file as I've now discovered that svn add works for non committers...
- I also have a small change for the plugin-plugin so that it reuses the latest maven-components
- I've changed a couple of dependencies to try to force the correct libs to be used. Would appreciate if someone could review I did that in the correct place.
- I've made sure that the generated plugin.xml file for the integration-tests/maven-core-it-plugin project now contains the <implementation> as it should:
- unfortunately I wasn't able to make my integration test work, but I believe this is due to a different problem as I've had issues to make sure the correct plexus library (the one implementating PLX-219) is used. See dependency-mistery.log
Now my questions:
- can someone help me troubleshoot the issue in dependency-mistery.log ?
- can someone let me know wether this is a candidate for maven2.0.x branch and if it could be backported once it works?
In case someone takes the patch. another thing that was missing was that the serializer lacked the 2-3 lines of code required to get the
<implementation> </implementation>
element in the <parameter> section of the <plugin>. See maven-plugin-descriptor module. Not sure if that is sufficient to fix completely the issue.
I must have forgotten something:
the plugin.xml generated for org.apache.maven.plugin.coreit.ParameterImplementationMojo doesn't contain anything related to the specified implementation for the bla field. Nothing related to MyBla in the file...
This is a tentative patch, meaning that I haven't test it all. I am working on the integration test but they don't yet pass.
MNG-2293.diff the patch
MNG-2293-source2.tar.bz2 the test files to add to the maven-plugin-tool-java plugin for the test to pass
it0106.tar.bz2 the integration test, not yet finished.
Sorry have to run, and not sure when I will have time to finish that

Not all news items from the Observer reach a conclusion by the end of the year. Some things continue into the next year, and a few go on year after year.
Following is a sampling of plans and events that are still in flux.
• WALKING TRAIL—Morenci city administrator Renée Schroeder has worked to attract funding for a walking trail along Bean Creek from the back of Wakefield Park. Some initial design work was done and a donor offered to pay the cost—sometime in the future.
"We are still working toward a walking trail for our community, but haven't heard from the prospective donor in a long time," Schroeder said.
Schroeder is working with Patrick Judd of Conservation Design Forum of Ann Arbor to create a new five-year park/recreation plan that is required in order to obtain a state grant.
• JEB—Remember the story about Jeb, the town cat of Fayette? He often risks his life by crossing downtown streets and we wondered if he's still among the living. "Definitely," reported now-retired tax administrator Dee Lawrence. She had a visit from him just a couple of weeks ago.
• HABITAT—A meeting was scheduled in Morenci last summer to see if any local families were interested in becoming part of a Habitat for Humanity project.
"We do have a Morenci family identified," said Lenawee Habitat director Lynne Punnett. "We expect they will go to the Board for final approval either at the end of this month or perhaps in February."
It won't be a building project this time. The family will be involved in the renovation of an existing home on their way to home ownership. Punnett said a house might be donated for the project.
Applications from prospective families may be downloaded from Habitat's website (www.habitat-lenawee.org) and submitted at any time.
• DAIRIES—Southern Michigan Dairies, owner of the two former Vreba-Hoff dairies northwest of Morenci, were completely closed last year and offered for sale. A representative from a local environmental group was told that there were at least two prospective buyers, but the deal never was completed. A representative from Southern Michigan Dairies (SMD) did not respond to a request for information.
The permits currently held by SMD could be transferred to a new owner once a sale closes, said Nicole Zacarda, an enforcement specialist with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. Any requests for changes to the existing permits would have to be evaluated by the DEQ.
"All of the historic Vreba-Hoff related orders have been satisfied," she said. "A new owner will need to request the transfer. Provided that the Department determines that the existing permits will continue to be protective of water quality under both state and federal regulations, then the transfer would be allowed."
• SIGNS—There are still no signs on U.S. 20 or State Route 66 directing traffic to Fayette's school. Following a bad traffic accident on U.S. 20 after a young driver missed the unmarked turn to reach the school, school and village officials both made attempts to have signs placed on the state highways.
The Ohio Department of Transportation office said the request for a sign at U.S. 20 and Country Road 23 "does not meet our criteria for a traffic generator that warrants signs."
A sign downtown at the main intersection and at Gamble Road falls under the Village's authority, according to the ODOT letter, and would be based on its sign policy.
• SEARS HOUSE—In June 2012, we sent out a bulletin to look for a special Sears Home from the early 1900s. Somewhere in Fayette, a Sears Milton model home was built and an expert on the homes—Rosemary Thornton—wants to see a photo. If it's still standing, it must be well disguised because no one has identified that model from Sears.
• PALM PLASTICS—The former Palm Plastics factory building was emptied before the end of the year as Arca-Schoeller ceased all operations here. Norbert Bauman, the owner of the 96,000 square foot structure, has created a brochure to help in his attempts to market the building.
• POST OFFICES—Area post offices survived a closure threat last year, but a reduction in hours did occur at Weston and a reduction is Clayton is expected soon.
• BUSINESS OFFICE—As the Morenci Area School district continues to look for ways to cut costs and work its way out of a deficit, one of the proposals discussed by the board is the closure of the business office. The board of education office on Page Street would be closed and the Lenawee ISD would be hired to handle district finances, as it does for the Tecumseh district.
No decision on the proposal was made last year, but Superintendent of Schools Michael Osborne will soon release his proposed list of additional cuts. At that time the public will know if the business office idea is still being considered.
• THE WALL—We're often asked about the lovely south wall of the Observer office. The question is usually something like this: "When is the City going to clean up that mess?"
As you may remember, the City bought the old Dunbar building next to the Observer and had it demolished. Unfortunately, roofing tar applied by previous owners and the plaster wall of that building remained on the Observer bricks, and in September 2011 city council approved this motion: "The city will take the next step in attempting to remove the plaster from the side of David Green's building. If that doesn't work, discussion with the owner will be continued."
An informal offer was made several months ago, but the Observer has not agreed to accept the offer. More recently, the City has suggested seeking an infrastructure improvement grant to tackle the problem.
Eighteen months of exposure to the weather hasn't had much effect, so it's one more unresolved story.
• SKELTON BROTHERS—For a second year, a cloud hangs over Morenci due to the disappearance of the three Skelton brothers: Andrew, Alexander and Tanner.
The boys' father, John, remains in prison serving a sentence for the unlawful imprisonment of his sons and police continue probing the case as a murder investigation. So far, not a trace of the boys' whereabouts has come to light.

Hermain Cain
gives tips on sexual harassment in the work field. As we all know he himself is not very good at this, but his strategies seem pretty helpful. Watch as the 'Ladies Man (
Herman Cain's 1986 video 'Guide to Sexual Harrassment' is, suprisingly good, helpful and entertaining. He explains 'Good Touch Bad Touch' the 'Neine, Neine Neine rule, which I'm pretty sure is illegal in 50 states, and he also tells how the "Good Touch Bad Touch' can be reversed. So sit back and watch Herman Cain watch women use the bathroom on his top of the line surveillance camera.

Gritti Palace, Venice
Venice is a year-round destination and, despite the general advice being to avoid it in summer, there is a way to visit this incredible city in the warmer months that ensures you get the best of it. Organise a three- or four-night stay splitting the break into two-nights at either followed by two nights across the lagoon on San Clemente Island at the beautiful San Clemente Palace Hotel. You will leave Venice feeling relaxed - and tanned - and having seen all the sights.
Poised on the Grand Canal, The Hotel Gritti Palace was commissioned in 1525 as the residence of the Doge of Venice before being used as the official residence of the Vatican's ambassadors to Venice. Luckily for visitors to the city today, the palace has been converted into a 91-room hotel with individually designed rooms and nine remarkable suites (of which the Hemingway is the most opulent). Located among the designer shops and only a short stroll from St Mark's Square, the palace is the perfect place to experience classic, old-world Venice. Despite being so famous, it remains relaxed, offering personal touches, no pretension, friendly staff and the feeling that you are the only guests. Take time to sit down to lunch on the terrace of The Club del Doge restaurant and choose any of the pasta dishes while watching the world go by - by boat, that is.

Wait on the Lord
The twenty-seventh Psalm bids us to "Wait for the Lord." It would be a good resolution to take into the coming New Year. How do we learn to wait instead of rushing headlong into hurry and worry?
First, if you would wait on the Lord, learn to pause. James Truslow Adams has made this suggestion: "Perhaps it would be a good idea, fantastic as it sounds, to muffle every telephone, stop every motor, and halt all activity for an hour some day to give people a chance to ponder for a few minutes on what it is all about; why they are living, and what they really want." Pausing can make all the difference in the world.
Learn to pray. And remember, the most important thing in any prayer is not what we say to God, but what God says to us. So often we are prone to pray and then hurry away without giving God a chance to answer. It was Dwight L. Moody who counseled, "Spread out your petition before God, and then say, 'Thy will be done.' The sweetest lesson I have learned in God's school is to let the Lord choose for me."
Practice patience. And that isn't easy. Haven't you found it to be so? It is so easy to pray, "Lord, give me patience and I want it right now!" Patience is needed every day whether it is painting a picture, rearing a son or daughter, building a happy marriage or helping to bring peace to our troubled world. "Let him be your guide, and run not before him whatever betide."
Learn to persevere. Jacob Reis was a great social reformer who labored for years clearing the slums of New York. Discouragement was his greatest obstacle. He found the encouragement and help he needed one day when he happened on stonecutters at work.
He noted that a worker would strike as many as one hundred blows with no visible results. Then with the one hundredth and one blow the stone would split in two. It was not the final blow alone that did it, but all the blows together.
Wait on the Lord as you strike all the blows that must be struck. Wait on the Lord as you pause amidst the toil and strife of life. Wait on the Lord as you lift your concerns in prayer. Wait on the Lord as you make patience a weapon of your warfare.
"Wait on the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait on the Lord!" Rev. Nichols is Minister Emeritus of First Christian Church, Temple, where he was senior minister for 23 years before retiring. He writes a religious column for several newspapers.
