PLAY - Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Kubricks
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Kubricks [Rockstar Games - $35.99]
The mere existence of a product like this is bound to have you feeling warm and fuzzy for the holidays. Have you ever seen a "Kubrick"? It's like a little posable Lego dude, painted up to look like a given character. Medicom Toys worked with Rockstar on these, and, well, you almost have to see them to believe them. Of course, Tommy Vercetti is bound to be a popular figure, but even more popular will be one Ms. Candi Suxx, the adult film star here given endowments worthy of Picasso. If your target gamer has every game he or she could ever want, if there's no peripheral that must be had, if the Playstation 3 is hopelessly sold out, well... think of these Kubricks as an investment -- maybe by next year they'll be going for exorbitant prices on EBay. Besides, the fully-posable nature of the figures means that you're only a step away from modeling Hot Coffee, Vice City-style... and who wouldn't want that? [Rockstar Games]

I had just arrived in the Big Sur area and was frantically looking for a shot before the light was gone. I ran into this Canadian couple relaxing at the side of the road enjoying the view. They were just finishing up a 6 week tour of North America and were getting ready to head back home. That's how I want to spend my golden years!
I have signed model releases available for both Heather and Don if needed.

Recently Erich Schaefer compiled data on loot drops for a test character, and made this amazing infographic. This was sent internally for us to see how a specific character may encounter possible drops. Keep in mind that another character's loot drops will be affected differently depending on elements like play style, quests, and character.
We know a lot of you are worried about us. We've heard what you're saying, and sure we've had similar discussions. But we began making the first Torchlight in 2008 when development on Diablo III was already underway. We didn't let that be a reason that we couldn't make an RPG. We made the commitment to create a game we loved to play. That's what's important to us, and that's why we go to work every day.
Our commitment is the same today. It doesn't matter what gets announced, or who gets elected, or if there's a zombie attack. (Well actually, in a zombie attack we might leave our desks, but only to smash them into weapons.) We believe that the best business model is to do what you love, to give it everything you've got, and to make something you'll be proud of.

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory -- Investigators at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) today report important progress in research aimed at finding ways to fight cancer by targeting the local environment in which tumors grow and from which they draw sustenance.
The targeting of interactions between cancer cells and their environment together with the traditional tactic of directly targeting cancer cells with drugs or radiation is an important new front in the fight against cancer.
The study was conducted by two CSHL scientists from different disciplines who joined forces in the Laboratory's tradition of collaborative research. Mikala Egeblad, Ph.D., is an expert in the analysis of interactions between cancer cells and normal cells, and Scott Powers, Ph.D., is an expert in applying genome-wide "big-picture" methods to the study of cancer.
Together, they decided to make the first systematic effort to catalog the repertoire of interactions between cancer cells and their environment and to determine how many of these interactions were involved in promoting cancer. In previous studies, different types of cancers and different types of normal cells were utilized; this work brought to light a bewildering array of potential targets. This made it difficult to know how best to proceed with the development of new therapies directed against the tumor environment.
Powers and Egeblad determined that even when focusing only on the signals between breast cancer cells and just one single cell type in the local environment (called fibroblasts), the majority of these signals promoted cancer. Interestingly, each signal that was closely studied had a different impact on breast tumors: one contributed to cancer cell survival, another to proliferation, and a third to inflammation and the growth of local blood vessels (both of which support tumors). Further experiments showed that when several of these signals were blocked at once, the inhibiting effect on tumor growth was greater than when individual signals were blocked.
"This tells us that tumor and normal cells interact as a complex network and that the hope of finding a 'single most important interaction' for therapeutic targeting is misguided," Powers commented. "When dealing with something that is this biologically complex, it is really important to assess the entire set of signals involved, rather than just one."
Dr. Egeblad added: "The good news from our study is that we can probably make much better progress at fighting cancer by targeting multiple interactions between tumors and their local environment."
The research described in this release was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and the Long Island 2 Day Walk.
"System-Wide Analysis Reveals a Complex Network of Tumor-Fibroblast Interactions Involved in Tumorigenicity" appears online September 19, 2013 in PLOS Genetics. The authors are: Megha Rajaram, Jinyu Li, Mikala Egeblad and R. Scott Powers. The paper can be accessed at: http://www.

Tyra Banks talks hair and beauty
Tyra Banks is no stranger to the top trends in hip hop clothes, hair and makeup, so it's no wonder she has some fabulous tips for hot ensembles and hair ideas for ladies this season. Banks recently offered her beauty tips up to BET and women should take note.
According to the news outlet, Banks reports her least favorite part of spring and summer is the humidity that comes with it. Humidity commonly leads to tons of frizz and flyaways, nothing fashionistas want to deal with. Banks suggests ladies looking to avoid this should start by wrapping their hair in the morning and taking it down right before they walk out of the house.
"A bad, bad hair day, I slick my hair back. I put water on it first, a little oil, a little grease, a little vita-pointe, and then I do it in a twist, twirl it around with a million bobby pins, and then I get the little baby hairs around my edges and slick them down with some brown gel, or clear gel, and then I tie a scarf around it," Banks told the news source. "Then, I get in the shower, put my make-up on, get dressed, and right when I'm about to walk out that door I pull it off, and it looks like that was done on purpose."
Banks also opened up about makeup woes that can occur during the warmer months. She told BET her trick it to apply a foundation and then use powder on top to absorb any oil created by the heat. Before leaving the house, she suggests wetting a face cloth and pushing the cloth all over the face to absorb the powder, while helping it set.
"And then throughout the day, don't keep putting powder on top of a greasy face," Banks told the publication. "Take a tissue first and dab it all over your face, then powder yourself after."
The model and reality star has also opened up recently about embracing her curves in a stick-thin industry. Banks wrote an open letter on The Daily Beast describing difficult times early in her modeling career when she was shut down for being too "big." She penned the letter after the editors of Vogue Magazine's 19 international editions pledged to ban models who "appear to have an eating disorder" from appearing in their magazines.
Girls who want to embrace their curves in the hottest women's urban clothing should purchase the Rocawear Roc Riviera Romper this summer.

"If he's acting like this now, what is he going to be like when he gets older? I need to get this under control, like yesterday!"
Many of the parents I talk to every day as a 1-on-1 Coach have this thought at one point or another. Some of them verbalize it, while others may not even know they are thinking it. I hear the exhaustion, panic and frustration that these parents feel, not only for the behavior they are seeing in the moment, but nervous anticipation of fights and unease for their child's future as well. To be the most effective parent possible, it is important to stay in the moment with your child rather than some distant future. Here are some tips I give to parents to help them cope.
- Expand your view. In scientific research, there is a term called "confirmation bias," which in basic terms describes when researchers see what they expect to see, and overlook other data which could be equally important. Much in the same way, if you are driving home, sure that your son hasn't done the dishes or his homework and fuming that he is not living up to his fullest potential, you are probably going to hone in on those things when you get home, and use that to "prove" to yourself that he is lazy and will never succeed on his own. It is more helpful to have a more optimistic view and look for the little victories in the larger picture. That is not to say that you should not hold him accountable for not doing his responsibilities; however, it is going to be more helpful (and calming!) for you to have already planned how you are going to hold him accountable and give him the benefit of doubt on your way home so you are not expecting a fight the minute you walk in the door.
- Be in the here and now. That is, don't predict some awful future for your child based on their current actions. The truth is, you are going to be more effective if you are focused on your child not doing her homework today, and holding her accountable for that action today, rather than looking at the fact that your child is not doing her work in fourth grade and thinking that she will not graduate from high school. Each day is a new day, a fresh start. One piece of advice I frequently give parents is that you cannot give a consequence for something that has not happened yet.
- Realize where your control lies. Namely, yourself! As hard as it is to accept at times, you do not have control over anyone but yourself. While many parents of teenagers bemoan their "new" lack of control over their child, the fact is that control was never there. As any parent of an infant can tell you, he ultimately has control over when he cries, when he sleeps, when he smiles and when he needs a diaper change! You can influence your child; ultimately it is up to him which actions he is going to take.
The truth is, no one can predict the future. No one knows for certain what will happen, or won't happen for any of us. As scary and confusing as that prospect is, it can also be beautiful and hopeful. It is all part of the roller coaster ride called parenting.

SALEM, Ore. (KOIN 6) — Paula and Bill Foster are 71 and worked hard to save money. But the Salem couple said a clever con man gained their trust and they are now out nearly $200,000.
Members of law enforcement said it's a new twist on an old ploy.
How it began
In May, the Fosters were contacted by someone who said Bill Foster was awarded a government grant that would furnish them with $300,000 on debit cards they could personally use — once they paid some upfront fees.
The Fosters communicated with men by the names of Harry, Joe Williams and Jordan Smith, they said. The men talked with the Fosters so often, they said, they began calling them Mom and Dad.
The upfront fees were to be paid using MoneyPak cards. Their website describes MoneyPak as "an easy and convenient way to send money to where you need it." MoneyPak cards are available at retail outlets nationwide.
Once the fees were paid, the Fosters were told, they would receive their personal-use debit cards.
The money
So far, the couple said they've paid more than $150,000 to Jordan Smith on untraceable MoneyPak cards. When KOIN 6 News first visited the Fosters, Jordan Smith had just called asking for another $5,000 in order to release the money.
"He had called me and asked if I had the money. I said not yet. He calls me a lot," Bill Foster said. "The main reason is getting the MoneyPak cards and paying him."
"Supposedly, most of the money we gave them was refundable," he said.
"I tried to explain to my husband that I didn't think that it was right," said Paula. "I thought it was a scam, but he believed in him."
Better Business Bureau contacted
Paula contacted the Better Business Bureau of Alaska, Oregon and western Washington.
"On the surface, these government scams are very easy to catch," said David Quinlan, the Senior Director of Public Relations and Community Outreach.
"You wonder, gosh, who in the world would fall for this? The tricky part, and the new twist is just the delivery," said Quinlan. "These scammers are sophisticated."
The BBB said those grants don't exist.
"They are dangerous folks, they really are and they will stop at nothing to rip you off," said Quinlan.
Quinlan said they've had at least 77 scams involving government grants logged into their "scheme record" from January through late July.
A member of the FBI also told KOIN 6 News it sounded like a scam.
Jordan Smith
KOIN 6 News spoke with Jordan Smith, who said the grant was awarded to Bill Foster because he was a good taxpayer.
"Mr. Joe say to me he was a good taxpayer and he do not have any criminal record under his name, that is why governments are writing some benefits," Jordan Smith said.
When asked directly if this was some sort of scam, Jordan Smith denied that it was and responded, "I am working for the government department."
During the conversation, Jordan Smith described his job in the following ways:
"I am working for the government department."
"I'm not from the government department, I am a broker."
"I'm working for Mr. Joe."
"I am an appointed officer who is working for Mr. Foster."
"I am an officer who is working for several companies."
Paula Foster told KOIN 6 News her son saw warning signs and got Jordan Smith to admit that it was not his real name.
But when KOIN 6 News asked, he replied, "I'm sorry, ma'am, you cannot ask those kind of questions to me."
"My name is Jordan Smith. I don't know why my name is Jordan Smith. You don't have the authority to ask me."
When asked where his office was located, he said, "You do not have to worry. I am not in another country. I am also in Oregon, in Dexter. So I will give it to him (Bill Foster), all his money."
However, KOIN 6 News could find no such call centers located in Dexter.
Finally, Jordan Smith told Bill Foster that KOIN 6 News would be able to verify his name – only after the $5,000 was paid.
"You can verify after you completing the procedure to receive your money," Jordan Smith said.
The Fosters
After the KOIN 6 News interview, Bill Foster was still on the fence whether to pay the $5,000.
"Well, it's hard to say because I believe Jordan," said Bill. "I don't believe Harry or Joe, but I believe Jordan."
"We've gotten into a lot of fights about it, but I still end up giving him the money," Paula Foster told KOIN 6 News. "I still love him, even though he fell for this."
Bill Foster decided to give Jordan Smith the $5,000.
Paula Foster said the promised money wasn't delivered. Instead, she said, Jordan Smith asked for another $2,000.
"There is probably around $200,000 in these cards and it makes me feel really bad because we're 71 years old and that was our savings and it's gone," Paula Foster said.
"I cry a lot. Like right now."

VANCOUVER (KGW) -- A Vancouver school bus driver is under investigation after a flood of angry calls from parents complaining about the conditions on her bus during Wednesday's peak temperatures.
Some Vancouver kids called it the "torture bus."
"It just felt like a heater or an oven," said Kali Gris wold, a student at Silver Start Elementary School.
The kids said they were forced to sweat and suffer after the bus driver refused to open the windows.
The driver, who has worked for the district for 25 years, was placed on leave by the district. Her name has not been released.
"You don't leave your animals in cars, you can't do that to children," said Jamie Noyce, mother of a 4th grader who rode the bus Wednesday afternoon.
The kids said it was punishment. The bus didn't have air conditioning, and the driver allegedly told the kids after some of them put pieces of paper into the heater vents the previous week that she wouldn't open any windows. She reportedly told them they could have started a fire.
School district rules say the driver is responsible for setting all the windows at the appropriate level before kids enter the bus. The rules also give the driver authority to discipline bad behavior. But the rules state they must either verbally warn the student, assign specific seats, or request a meeting with the parents if there is a problem.
"We care about the health and well being of all our kids," said Gail Spolar of the Evergreen School District. "If we think our students were in any kind of danger, that's why we began the investigation the moment that she [the driver] pulled back into the lot."
Parents told KGW they were shocked to see their kids walk in the door Wednesday, drenched in sweat with red faces. They were happy though, that the same driver wasn't behind the wheel the next morning.
"A substitute is good, but we still need to know what's going to happen," said Boyce. "I still think charges should be filed. Because if I would have left my child in the car and gone in the store for 15 minutes with the windows rolled up, I would be in jail right now . Something does need to happen."
The kids said the driver had a small fan to keep herself cool and her window was also open.
According to the National Safe Kids Campaign, when it's 93 degrees outside, the inside of a vehicle can climb to 125 degrees in just 20 minutes.
The investigation continues.

Lots of hot spots, and more on the way
0 comments post a comment
T-Mobile recently announced some statistics for its Wi-Fi hot-spots.
T-Mobile recently announced some statistics for its Wi-Fi hot-spotsover the past 90 days, 450,000 separate customers logged onto the company's network three million times. If I do my math right, that means that each person logged in about 6.67 times over that period. The company said that users now average about 64 minutes/session, up from 45 minutes last year.
Looking at my own usage, I'd say I'm fairly average according to those statistics. Between hotels, airports, and Starbucks, that number might even be low for me.
T-Mobile won't say whether this is a profitable business for them. In fact, this is the first time I can recall them announcing any kind of statistics.
More importantly, at least for a heavy user like myself, T-Mobile plans to increase the number of available hot spots. The number should grow from about 16,000 today to about 25,000 worldwide. But rather than installing its own hotspots, the company said that it plans to add most of the new hotspots through roaming agreements with other hotspot vendors. This means that hotels like Marriott, Hilton, Ritz-Carlton, Doubletree, and Renaissance, and a slew of airports may soon find themselves wired for T-Mobile access.

For the second time this month, the Augusta woman accused of hiring someone to kill her fourth husband was not present in a North Carolina courtroom.
An attorney for Betty Neumar, 78, presented a doctor's note to the presiding judge stating that Neumar was ill and unable to make the trip to Stanly County, where she was to be present for a hearing to determine counsel on two of her three charges, according to her attorney, Charles Parnell.
Neumar also did not attend a hearing Aug. 2. Parnell said he presented a doctor's note that said it was unsafe for her to travel because of her health conditions. He would not comment on the nature of her illness.
Ginger Efrid, of the Stanly County District Attorney's Office, said she did not know the specifics of Neumar's illness.
Al Gentry, the brother of the victim, attended the hearing and said Parnell told the judge that she was "too sick to travel." He said they were not clear about what exactly Neumar's illness was, but she might need surgery.
Efrid said a hearing involving the appointment of counsel for two other charges against Neumar will be rescheduled for Aug. 16.
Neumar is charged with three counts of solicitation to commit first-degree murder. Parnell said that he was retained for the initial charge but that they are still working out the details for her counsel on the other two.
Her formal arraignment will be Oct. 11, Efrid said.
Neumar has been awaiting a trial date since she was arrested outside her Cambridge Court home in Augusta in 2008. Authorities charged her after a former police officer and two former neighbors claimed that she tried to hire them to kill her husband, Harold Gentry, in the months before his homicide in 1986.
Officials have speculated that Neumar needed money and wanted to collect her husband's $20,000 life insurance policy.
Neumar was married five times, and all five husbands are dead. At least three of the men died of gunshot wounds, including Gentry, whose body was found in his Norwood, N.C., home.
Cases were opened by law enforcement officials in Florida, Ohio and Augusta to investigate the deaths of her other husbands, but charges have been filed only in the Gentry case.


text: Hi y'all! My wife and I just bought a 22" Weber GSM and we are excited about trying lots of stuff on it. She is a great cook and I do all the grilling so we should make a good team. I have found the biggest thing is there seems no "right" way to do it, everyone has their own different techniques and processes. I have seen answers to a lot of my initial questions, but I am a perfectionist and want to discover the best that works for us. We live in Louisville, KY, and have done 3 smokes so far, with the fourth working right now. We have had two successes and one major flop. Looking forward to get to know you guys as well as learn how to become a master smoker. 88carfan Kevin

text: Hello everyone. I live a half hour outside of Boston. Not quite the hub of BBQ, so I figured I'd have to start making my own. As a newbie to smoking, I purchased a MES 30. I've always thought a true pit boss would turn his nose up at an electric smoker, but I thought it would be an easier way to learn the craft. After spending some time on this site reviewing posts and seeing pictures, you guys put out some great BBQ with the MES, and it makes me feel good about my purchase. Last weekend I christened the MES 30 by smoking 3 racks of ribs. I used a dry rub I found on the internet (before I found this site). I used hickory chips for 3 hours and cooked at 250 degrees for a total of 4.5 hours. For my first smoke, my family and I were happy with the result, but I'd only give myself a C+. For my next batch I will use a different rub (from this site), leave the vent open while smoking, add hot water to the water pan (I first used cold water from the nearby hose!), and cook for 5 hours. I also plan on applying some sauce to the ribs after either 4 or 4.5 hours. A lot of people seem to use the 3-2-1 method, but I thought the tenderness of my ribs was good, so I don't want to get into wrapping the ribs and essentially boiling them. I plan on mostly smoking ribs, pork shoulders, brisket (if the price is right), and turkey. I'm looking forward to using my smoker weekly, and being on this site almost daily to get ideas, and hopefully learn before making mistakes. Thanks, Jack BBQ

In Mozilla (XP, v3.0.3) though, even after that, just requesting the root of the site won't work. Flushing sometimes helps... The only way to avoid this is by restarting the browser or removing the PHP session ID from the cookies list.
Could this maybe be altered so that logging out automatically resets the php session id values? Please dont think I don't appreciate the good work though - because I really do :-)

Patrolman James Marshburn was shot and killed by an escaped convict on I-95 five miles north of Lumberton.
He and another patrolman came upon two escapees walking down the southbound lane a short distance from a stolen car they had just abandoned. As the officers exited their patrol car, both escapees opened fire with .45 caliber pistols. In an exchange of shots, Patrolman Marshburn was shot three times in the stomach and one escapee was killed. The other convict dropped his gun and ran into the nearby woods. Patrolman Marshburn died at the hospital 90 minutes later.
The suspects had escaped from a prison work detail in Raleigh. They used stolen guns taken earlier when they broke into a National Guard building.
The other escapee was captured four hours after the shooting when bloodhounds flushed him out of the woods. He had been sentenced to prison in 1953 for armed robbery, motor vehicle theft, and felony breaking and entering. He received an additional 35 years for Trooper Marshburn's murder. He was released from prison on May 2, 1991.
Patrolman Marshburn had only served with the North Carolina Highway Patrol for less than two months. He is survived by his mother and three sisters.

Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. has completed its previously announced tender offer for all outstanding shares of common stock par value $0.0001 per share, including the associated rights to purchase shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Santarus, Inc., at a purchase price of $32.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and subject to any required withholding taxes. Following the tender offer, Salix completed the acquisition of Santarus earlier today through a merger under Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
"The acquisition of Santarus is a transformational event for Salix and an important milestone in our growth as the leading gastroenterology-focused specialty pharmaceutical company in the United States," stated Carolyn Logan, Salix President and Chief Executive Officer. "The creation of a larger, stronger Salix reinforces our premier position in gastroenterology and creates the opportunity for us to expand our digestive disease expertise into other key specialties."
"Beginning today," continued Ms. Logan, "We are positioned to continue the growth of our business with an expanded portfolio of products and an expanded sales effort. Our product portfolio now offers 22 marketed products, including: XIFAXAN ®, UCERIS ®, GLUMETZA ®, APRISO ®, ZEGERID ®, MOVIPREP ®, RELISTOR ®, SOLESTA ®, FULYZAQ ®, CYCLOSET ® and DEFLUX ®. And, going forward, our sales effort will benefit from the addition of a new 100-member gastrointestinal-focused sales force and the creation of a new, 160-member digestive disease specialty sales force. The new GI sales force will complement the efforts of our current 200-member GI sales force and provide greater reach and frequency for our products with gastroenterologists, hepatologists and colorectal surgeons. The new digestive disease specialty sales force will expand our specialty sales effort to target endocrinologists, infectious disease, pain specialists and high volume primary care physicians – prescribers formerly not accessed by our GI-focused sales effort. This expansion of our sales effort into these specialties represents an exciting area of growth for Salix. We believe these strategic additions to our sales effort should increase sales of our current products in the short term and begin to position the Company to maximize the sales of potential products over the longer term."

Magitek Armor (魔導アーマー, Madō Āmā?, lit. Magic Armor) is a technological device in Final Fantasy VI. It is a mechanical weapon employed by the Gestahlian Empire, able to fire beams of magical energy through the Empire's Magitek technology.
Magitek Armor appears in-game as a green, yellow and brown exo-suit, roughly humanoid in design with the seat for the rider being mounted on the armor's torso. Magitek attacks are seen to be fired from the chestplate of the armor when used by party members. In CG sequences and Yoshitaka Amano's designs Magitek Armor is draconian in appearance, lacks arms entirely, and the rider sits on the approximate location of the "neck".
Magitek Armor, along with the rest of the Empire's Magitek, was developed by Cid Del Norte Marquez. All Magitek Armor units are produced in the Magitek Research Facility at Vector. Magitek Armored troops appear in all territories and cities occupied by the Empire, though they are not as numerous as the Empire's foot army.
In order to reduce the Empire's ability to use Magitek, and to gain insight on Espers, Locke Cole and Celes Chere infiltrate the Magitek Research Facility and free the trapped Espers the Empire was draining magic from. This, combined with the Empire's discovery of Magicite, results in them foregoing Magitek usage outside of troops already stationed, and soldiers mention that the Magitek Research Facility is being dismantled and the armor is being refurbished.
There are various enemies that can be fought that involve Magitek Armor to some degree. These include Magitek Armor, Heavy Armor, Proto Armor, and Mega Armor. There are also a handful of Magitek Armor-type enemies in the World of Ruin. Pluto Armor appears as a manifestation in Cyan's Soul, and Duel Armor and Fortis appear within Kefka's Tower.
Wearing Magitek Armor gives access to the Magitek command, although there are limited occasions where Magitek Armor is usable; the first time is at the beginning of the game, where the player controls Terra, Biggs and Wedge. The second time is at the Imperial Camp near Doma Castle, where Sabin, Cyan and Shadow, if the player recruited him, escape in stolen Magitek Armor. The third time is within Cyan's soul during the sequence that takes place in a mine.
Terra alone is able to use the full arsenal of Magitek abilities. If Gogo has the Attack command assign to his/her battle menu list and s/he's also in the party, all eight commands will be available to him/her.
Creation and developmentEdit
The opening of Final Fantasy VI uses a different in-game sprite of the Magitek Armor than the rest of the game. The game's producer, Hironobu Sakaguchi, wanted to make the Magitek Armor in the opening identical to the Magitek Armor that appears elsewhere in the game, but Tetsuya Takahashi, a graphics director for Final Fantasy VI, redesigned it his own way, which Sakaguchi felt was even better than the original.[1]
Other appearancesEdit
Final Fantasy XIIIEdit
Vanille's Eidolon Hecatoncheir's Gestalt Mode was not intended as a reference to Magitek Armor, but the developers acknowledged it appears similar. In Final Fantasy XIII-2 the Brain Blast quiz refers to this transformation as Magitek Armor.
Final Fantasy XIVEdit
Magitek armor, matching Yoshitaka Amano's original design, features prominently and is a primary tool of war for the Garlean Empire, with models ranging from manned units similar to those in Final Fantasy VI to fully-robotic "juggernaut" units.
The Adventurer can obtain an armor as a rideable "mount" in A Realm Reborn. The mount is obtained by clearing the main storyline.
Another Magitek Armor mount is added in the Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood expansion patch 4.0.1, designed after the Armor's in-game sprite in Final Fantasy VI.
Final Fantasy XVEdit
Magitek armor are used by Niflheim, and are said to have been used by the ancient civilization of Solheim.[2] They are used to guard imperial bases, and sent to intercept targets via airships. They are enemies the player can fight. They shoot missiles that detonate with a slight delay and walk on two legs. They topple over when their legs are destroyed.
Final Fantasy Type-0Edit
The White Tiger Crystal in Milites Empire, the nation that instigates the war in Orience, grants the power of weapon to its people, allowing the creation of magitek armor (abbreviated as MA). Qator Bashtar and Qun'mi Tru'e are two notable pilots of customized magitek armor for the war: Gabriel and Dáinsleif respectively, specifically designed to withstand the Dominion of Rubrum soldiers' magic and Eidolons. Brionac, on the other hand, is a colossal prototype MA designed to deploy the empire's weapon of mass destruction, the Ultima Bomb, to long-distance targets.
Magitek armor were invented 550 years ago after Milites suffered defeat at the hands of the Lorican Alliance in the Second Lorican-Militesi War of 301, when the empire hastened its development of new weapons. Relying on the power of their Crystal, their aim was to invent more powerful and more advanced machinery.
Thanks to their C-Engine, the empire was already ahead of the alliance in Crystal energy extraction. By increasing the engine's efficiency and functionality, imperial researchers crafted a weapon superior to their tanks and dreadnoughts: magitek armor. Equipped with legs, the magitek armor had better reaction speed and maneuverability over irregular terrain.
The development of advanced weaponry was enabled by fine-tuning the empire's energy supply system. The imperial government installed high-output C-Engines throughout the state to extract energy from the Crystal that distributed the energy to smaller C-Engines, which then used that energy to generate power for the empire's various arms factories to mass-produce a fleet of magitek armor.
The ability to deploy Eidolons makes the Rubrum army a formidable opponent, and the empire has developed its magitek armor teknology specifically to encounter Rubrum's magic and Eidolons. The latest MA developed for fighting Eidolons is the Militesi Colossus.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of TimeEdit
The Mage Mail, available from the last boss rush mission on Normal mode, appears to be some kind of reference to the Magitek Armor. The description says: "Military equipment that exists in the sixth final fantasy". The armor appears as a mechanical armor suit.

- Metal Kick
- Strategy
The tanks of the Gestahlian Empire don't mess around; they will arrive blasting the party with all they have. Too bad for them that in both cases, they are easily fried by Thunder-based attacks and spells. A Summoner with Ramuh, fighters with Thunder Strike, and Black Mages with Thunder or Thundara should suffice to fell the lot. Be sure to heal and protect any party member taking the brunt of their assault. Prior to February 18, 2016, Cyan could join early once the party completed the Imperial Camp Bonus Quest.
Beware the Elite versions: they like to hit five times harder than other Elite level bosses, making even a maxed-out party seem powerless. Fast execution of buffing spells and high-level Thunder attacks should be a priority. Prior to February 18, 2016, Edgar joined the player if Figaro had its Bonus Quest attached.

A federal jury has ruled for the DuPont Co. in a trade-secrets lawsuit involving high-strength synthetic fibers used in products such as Kevlar body armor.
The ruling was handed down Wednesday by a jury in Richmond, Va. following a trial that pitted Delaware-based DuPont against South Korean competitor Kolon Industries.
DuPont sued Kolon in 2009 in a dispute that began in 2006. A former DuPont employee, Michael Mitchell, left the company and formed his own synthetic fiber consulting business. Kolon later approached Mitchell, who according to court records had retained proprietary information related to Kevlar after he left DuPont.
Mitchell was sentenced last year to 18 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to theft of trade secrets and obstruction of justice.

"And may God bless the United States of America!" This will be the final line of every single presidential campaign speech for the next two months.
"And may God bless the United States of America!" This will be the final line of every single presidential campaign speech for the next two months.
O.K., that's not an absolute guarantee. But try this experiment. Over the next 60 days, listen to any of the hundreds of campaign speeches President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will deliver daily, right up until Election Day. Chances are that almost every single one of these secular sermons will end with what has become a rhetorical cliché and the standard coda for every presidential stump speech, "… and may God bless the United States of America!"
It makes me wonder. Just what does it mean to ask for the blessing of the Divine upon a people or a nation? Is it presumptuous to do so? Is it a sincere public act of faith? Or is it just something the speechwriter always tags on to the end of a speech? Just what do the candidates really desire when they ask God to "bless" America? Something tells me these questions won't be asked in the presidential debates.
So here's a proposal. In the days leading up to our shared trip to the ballot box, let's democratize this whole question of just who gets to ask God for a national blessing. It is not just Romney or Obama who gets to invoke the Divine and then prayerfully make requests for America. Faith is fully democratic. Prayer is as close and available as our deepest hopes, whether we speak them out loud or hold them in our hearts.
We know the candidates want God to bless America. What about you, as a citizen? If you pray, what are the God given blessings you might request for this land we call home?
Here's a few of mine. I might ask God to bless all of America and its political leaders with a spirit of humility.
America is an amazing country. I do love it. But God did not only make, and God does not only bless, our one land. Instead, God blesses and made all creation. The U.S. is but one of 196 countries in the world. God made all peoples and nations. God loves every last child in every land, from Afghanistan and Albania, to Kenya and Kiribati, to Yemen, Zambia and Zimbabwe. No exceptions.
I might ask God to bless America and its leaders with courage. Thus far in the presidential campaign season, the candidates have been quite good at telling us what we want to hear, but not always so good at telling us what we need to hear. Far too often they tell us we can spend without consequence and cut without pain. And we don't have to sacrifice, taxpayers or beneficiaries alike, calculators and budgets be damned.
The real truth? It is somewhere in the middle, a place neither party seems to want to move to. So may God grant us the civic fortitude and courageous leadership to find answers outside of our cozy partisan comfort zones.
Then I might ask God to bless America with a spirit of generous compromise.
Sociologists and political pundits report that America is as ideologically divided now as it was at the time of the Civil War. We know how that turned out.
If America wants to find solutions to our civic challenges, citizens and politicians need to find a common ground for the common good. We need to let go of our often self-righteous and dogmatic positions. These may provide red meat for the media and ideologues, but they do absolutely nothing to unlock gridlock and move us ahead. So may God help us to ask not, "What's in it for me?" but instead, "What is best for the whole country?"
Of course we've no idea how God hears or responds to the most fervent of our prayers, collective and individual. It would be prideful and arrogant to assume we know the mind and motives of God. Folks of faith always walk by faith, not proof.
But yes, I'd still say, may God bless the United States of America and the whole world. May God bless the candidates and the citizenry, as we make and maybe even pray our way to Nov. 6.
What's on your prayer list for America?

[MLS SPOTLIGHT] Soccer fans know Tim Leiweke as the man who brought David
Beckham to MLS. But in the greater universe of sports and entertainment, AEG's soccer business was just a small part of the business that he helped turn into a worldwide force.
Leiweke, who oversaw the development of such venues as the L.A Live entertainment complex in downtown Los Angeles, the O2 in London, the O2 World in Berlin, the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai and the Mastercard Center in Beijing, and AEG Live, a billion-dollar concert business, is out as the president and chief executive officer of AEG. The move came the same day AEG's owner, Philip Anschutz, announced he was terminating his bid to sell the company.
Leiweke parted ways by "mutual agreement" with AEG, according to a statement released by Anschutz. But the move is stunning, given his length of service -- he joined AEG in 1996 to run its NHL team in Los Angeles -- and his close ties to Anschutz, the Kansas-bred billionaire owner whose expansive entertainment empire belies his interest in privacy and conservative values.
AEG only owned the Colorado Rapids when MLS launched in 1996, but it added the expansion Chicago Fire in 1998 and bought the Los Angeles Galaxy the same year, making Marc Rapaport's LA Soccer Partners the first owners to make a profit on soccer.
While MLS struggled for its first decade, Anschutz stuck with the league, and AEG expanded its hold to include interests in six clubs. At its height, AEG owned six of the league's 10 teams. But AEG sold off interests in Colorado, New York, Chicago and D.C. United and part of its interest in Houston, leaving only the Galaxy as the only wholly-owned AEG team left in MLS.
As MLS entered its second decade, Leiweke pushed to allow MLS clubs to spend more on players. He got passed what became known as the Beckham Rule, allowing teams to sign Designated Players and paving the way for the signing of David Beckham by the Galaxy in 2007.
Like his brothers, Leiweke learned sports management in the old MISL -- he worked for the old Kansas City Comets -- and he later went on to work in the NBA (Minnesota and Denver) before joining AEG.
No reason was given for Leiweke's departure or about his future plans. Anschutz announced in September that he was seeking to sell AEG in a deal that could fetch $7 billion.
"From the very beginning of the sales process, we have made it clear to our employees and partners throughout the world that unless the right buyer came forward with a transaction on acceptable terms we would not sell the company," Anschutz said in a statement.
Anschutz named Dan Beckerman, AEG's chief financial officer and chief operating officer, to replace Leiweke.

After a debate that went on for about five hours, the state House has approved increasing the minimum wage to $9 over the next two years, vote of 89 to 53.
The state Senate passed the bill last week and it will go to Gov. Dannel Malloy, who has said he supports increasing the minimum wage.
The current minimum wage in Connecticut is $8.25 and $9 per hour would be one of the highest in the country.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Washington State has the highest minimum wage in the country, at $9.19.
CT News Junkie reports that Malloy will support increasing it to $9 per hour, but does not support tying it to the rate of inflation.
Supporters say the hike would help workers who need extra money to pay their bills.
"I think it was essential. I know it's a tough economy, however we have to be able to build some level of equality for those folks that are working 50,60 hours ," State Rep. Victor Cuevas (D-Waterbury) said.
Opponents say this legislation will cripple our economy because many businesses are still struggling.
State Rep. Richard Smith was against the legislation.
"While this legislation has good intentions, it will drive unemployment and perpetuate our depressed economy," Smith said.
Malloy has said raising the minimum wage to $9 per hour is the right thing to do for working families.
You can read testimony on this legislation on the General Assembly's Web site.
Minimum wage in Oregon is $8.95 and it is $8.60 in Vermont.
Connecticut, DC, Illinois and Nevada all have a current minimum wage of $8.25.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Lucie Safarova and Bojana Jovanovski posted WTA tournament wins last week that pushed them up the women's world tennis rankings.
Safarova picked up her fifth WTA title by winning the Challenge Bell event in Quebec. She lost just one set over her five matches in claiming her first championship since August 2008.
That lifts her to No. 36 in the rankings, an improvement of 12 places. She reached as high as 17th in August 2012.
Jovanovski moved up 17 spots to 41st after her second career WTA title. She beat Olga Govortsova in three sets Saturday in winning the Tashkent Open in Uzbekistan. Her career-high ranking was 37th earlier this summer.
There were no changes in the WTA Top 10 this week. Serena Williams is No. 1 for a 31st consecutive week and 154 weeks overall.
Fourth-ranked Agnieszka Radwanska is the only player in the top tier entered into a tournament this week. She is the No. 1 seed at the KDB Korea Open. No. 8-ranked Caroline Wozniacki won the event in 2012 but isn't in the field this year. No. 22 Sorana Cirstea is the top seed at the Guangzhou Open in China.
The WTA Top 10, listing player's name, home country and rankings points:
1. Serena Williams, United States, 12,260
2. Victoria Azarenka, Belarus, 9,505

Fluorescents Illuminate Sperm in Competition
Stefan Lüpold, from Syracuse Univ., took second place in the Small World in Motion Photomicrography Competitionwith a time-lapse movie showing sperm from two different males competing within the female reproductive tract of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster.
While competition between sperm is a widespread phenomenon throughout the animal kingdom - and a powerful evolutionary force driving species diversity – it has been nearly impossible to study the fundamental biological processes associated with such sperm competition occurring when sperm from different males mix inside of females. The very recent development of genetically-modified fruit flies that produce sperm with either green- or red-fluorescent heads (as seen in Lüpold's movie) is now allowing scientists to answer important biological questions.

Business Education
The University and the Chamber of Commerce of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg have initiated a special foundation and partnership to provide intellectually-inspiring and practice-oriented Masters education in specialized niches of management. The broader objective of the collaboration is to help to create talented, inquiring and culturally adaptable professionals.
The first outcome of this collaboration is the international programme of Masters in Entrepreneurship and Innovation which is now in its fifth year. The mission behind the course is to stimulate the creation and development of innovative companies by providing students with an advanced education in the fields of entrepreneurship and the management of technological and organizational change. Our aim is to teach students the mechanics of building a business but also how to evaluate the role of enterprise and entrepreneurship within the economy and society.
The program is organized and executed by the University of Luxembourg. Supported by the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, however, it benefits from a wide network of connections within the business community in Luxembourg and the Greater Region. Using this network, the students are immersed into daily business practice during the second semester of the course through a privileged relationship with a mentor company from the Luxembourg business community. The involvement of international faculty in the form of visiting professors from all over the world also boosts the international academic credentials of the programme.
We believe that these educational assets will enable motivated students to showcase their talent and become intellectually inquiring and culturally adaptable individuals.
Professor Denise Fletcher, Academic Study Director.

Forty Feet of Computers
Lebanon, March 1, 2002
On March 4, Mercy Corps will pack and ship a 40-foot container of computer systems to Lebanon as part of an ongoing program to increase access to technology for Lebanese youth and students.
The shipment contains approximately 250 each of computers, monitors, mice, and keyboards. Mercy Corps will use these computers in schools and community centers throughout the country. The goal of this program is to help Lebanese students and their communities gain valuable computer skills, as well as access the extensive resources and information available through the Internet.
Mercy Corps' Lebanese computer centers will be used for classes, trainings, and available to students and community members at minimal or no cost. Most of the centers will be located in Lebanese high schools. Lebanese schools, particularly in rural areas, currently have no, or little, access to computers. Mercy Corps' efforts will also support PC-based vocational education and small business development. A goal of this project is to develop sister-school relationships between the Lebanese schools that receive these computers and high school students here in Oregon.
The computers will be packed the morning of Monday, March 4 at Trimac Panel Products, which has donated storage and handling services to Mercy Corps. Panalpina, a freight forwarder in Washington, D.C., is donating the shipping to Lebanon. The Bonneville Power Administration, Multnomah County, Standard Insurance Company, Free Geek, Northwest Education Loan Association, and many generous individual donors donated the computer systems. Mercy Corps and its volunteers have refurbished and rebuilt many of these computers.
Mercy Corps' primary objective in Lebanon is to foster equitable communities and create a vibrant educational environment that includes increased technological opportunities. Technology has immense potential as a social, economic, and community development tool for people in the developing world.
Mercy Corps has many other programs of this type throughout the world and welcomes donations of computers and components. Please contact Matthew Schwartzberg at 503-796-6803 for more information about computer donations.

The troubled Chester Upland School District is asking a judge to reject a petition to put the district in the hands of a state receiver.
An attorney for Chester Upland told the judge on Friday the the recovery plan would hurt special needs students and shutdown two better performing schools.
Under the plan, class size would increase and teachers would be laid off.
Attorney George Dawson says the district is not financially distressed and calls the petition "arbitrary."
A ruling is expected in 10 days.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention pertains to the manufacture of sintered, ceramic bodies having oriented, controlled porosity. Particularly, multi-layered ceramic bodies, having oriented porosity, on a micron scale, are provided.
2. Background of the Prior Art
Porous, sintered ceramic bodies are used in a variety of applications. Significant applications include insulating bodies, heat exchange devices, filters for high temperature applications, etc. The dominant commercial method for the manufacture of such materials is the extrusion of a ceramic greenstock, through a die with small blockages, which correspond to holes formed in the greenstock. The greenstock is subsequently fired to sinter the ceramic material. Using this process, it is difficult to control the exact orientation, diameter and ultimate form of the pores in the ceramic. Additionally, the extruded greenstock is susceptible to extensive deformation or molding, and must be directly sintered into a ceramic body. Finally, extremely small, micron size pores are not achievable using this process.
Alternative processes are known in the art. Thus, U.S. Pat. No. 2,875,501 discloses the use of heat destructible fiber cores, which, upon sintering, define the oriented porosity in the ceramic body. In this patent, yarns preferably of nylon are drawn through a liquid coagulating agent, which may include a PVA suspension, and then subsequently passed through a dispersion of ceramic precursor, which may be barium titanate. The PVA coated on the nylon yarn adheres the titanate particles to the fiber. A plurality of yarns similarly passed through the ceramic precursor are assembled, and the mass is subsequently fired, to sinter the ceramic. In the process, the fiber, and the PVA are destroyed. The result is a ceramic body having longitudinally oriented continuous holes, or passages, which makes an ideal insulator for conductive material placed in the passages. U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,919,483 and 3,112,184 disclose similar processes, the '184 patent using a carrier sheet, which may be deformed. A common problem to the processes of these patents is the fact that the material, prior to sintering, has no inherent strength, and cannot be molded, handled, or otherwise easily assembled. While the carrier sheet of U.S. Pat. No. 3,112,184 provides for some flexibility, and provides an opportunity to make multi-layered articles, the film itself is the fugitive carrier, and does not permit the formation of small pores, particularly pores in the micron range.
A similar process is addressed by Japanese Patent Publication 297762/48 which teaches the use of a carbon fiber provided with a small amount of binder, such as PVA, dredged in a ceramic raw material powder, which is subsequently fired to form a porous ceramic plate. Alternative processes include premolding a ceramic powder, provided with cavities, and filling the cavities with a graphite powder product, the premolded material being subsequently compressed and sintered, whereupon the graphite is destroyed, resulting in cavities in the ceramic.
Taken as a whole, the art fails to teach a process whereby a ceramic body may be produced, with continuous, small dimension pores, which can be molded into a variety of shapes, or combined with a plurality of layers, in any desired orientation. This is particularly due to the fact that those methods that employ carriers for the ceramic powder, which are subsequently destroyed upon sintering, merely adhere the ceramic powder to the carrier via the use of a coagulating agent, such as PVA, which does not give the resulting, unfired precursor any integrity or body strength.
The above-identified drawbacks of the prior art, and other objectives, are met by towing a plurality of fibers of small, micron dimension, through a curable liquid resin composition, the coated fiber being provided with ceramic precursor powder, such as Al2 O3. The alumina powder is preferably provided in the liquid resin itself, converting the liquid to a slurry. Alternatively, it may also be provided by drawing the coated fiber through a bed of the powder material. A plurality of fibers, such as a "unidirectional tape" so coated can be subjected to mild heating, below sintering temperature, to partially cure the resin. It is particularly preferred to cure the resin to a "B" stage, such that the resulting body can be easily deformed. A plurality of pieces can be laid up and/or molded to any desired form (a preform). Once prepared, the stacked preforms are sintered at conventional sintering temperatures, so as to produce a ceramic body. In the sintering process, the tape, prepared from fibrous materials, such as graphite or other carbon fibers are destroyed, together with the partially cured resin. The result is a ceramic body, which may be comprised of a plurality of layers, provided with small-dimensioned continuous pores, which need not be linear and may define a tortuous path, and may be differentially oriented, in various layers, to provide a ceramic body. The body may be employed, if provided with non-linear pores, as an ultra-high temperature microporous filter, if provided with differing orientations in a plurality of layers, as a heat-exchanging substrate for integrated circuit devices, and other high temperature applications.
The ceramic bodies of controlled porosity are prepared by coating a fugitive carrier of small dimension, such as graphite fibers, with a curable resin and a ceramic precursor powder. The coating process may be preferably effected by pulling the fibers, preferably in the form of a unidirectional tape, through a slurry comprised of a resin bath with ceramic precursor powder distributed therein, or alternatively by first coating the fiber with the resin and subsequently dredging the coated fiber in the ceramic powder. The coating method is not critical, a preferred embodiment being simply towing or drawing a tape of graphite fibers through a slurry of liquid resin and ceramic powder.
The resin employed in the invention can be virtually any resin compatible with the ceramic powder, and not destructive or toxic when oxidized and destroyed during sintering. Due to their ease of processing, and relative low cost, thermoset resins such as epoxy resins, polyester resins, polyurethane resins, etc. may be used. If the application involves exposing the unsintered, preliminarily cured body to extremely high temperatures, it may be desirable to use a thermoplastic resin. Nothing in the processing prohibits its use. However, the higher temperatures, and more difficult processing, generally associated with such resins may make them, for general purposes, less suitable alternatives. The basic requirements of the resin are that it be coatable onto the carrier, in a liquid state, and be curable to a B stage, that is, a moldable or drapable state. One preferred embodiment involves the use of an acrylate resin.
If the application warrants the cost, the use of thermoplastic resins offers unique advantages. Specifically, layers of the greenstock can be stacked one upon the other to form a block, and the block then deformed at a temperature above the softening point of the thermoplastic, but below the sintering temperature of the ceramic. Thus, parts with various shapes, curves, or bends can be prepared. Though similar forms may be layed up using thermosetting systems, further deformation after curing would not be possible.
By this process, it is also possible to stack partially cured layers together and heat the layers under pressure at a temperature below the sintering temperature to form a block, which block can then be machined to a desired shape prior to sintering.
Similarly, the ceramic powder material employed as the precursor of the ceramic body can be virtually any suitable ceramic powder. One ubiquitous, and therefore particular preferred, powder material is Al2 O3, although other suitable materials are known. A variety of suitable materials are recited in U.S. Pat. No. 3,112,184. This ceramic powder need only be compatible with the resin, in its liquid and preliminarily cured state.
In preferred embodiments, the fiber is coated with the curable resin and ceramic powder simultaneously, by towing a unidirectional tape of the fibers through a slurry comprised of the resin and powder. The ratio of resin to powder will vary depending on the particular components selected. In general, the limit on the content of ceramic powder will be the ability to cure the resin to a state which provides moldability or drapability, but retains integrity of the preform. The minimum ceramic powder concentration will of course be that which provides a ceramic body upon sintering. In general, on a volume basis, if a resin/powder slurry is employed, the powder will constitute from 15-50 percent, by volume, of the slurry.
Once the fiber is coated with the resin in which are embedded, or on which are adhered, ceramic powder particles, the resin is staged, by mild heating, to form a preform, or similar body. As is familiar to those skilled in the art, these materials may be stored, and transported, and shaped, molded, or combined in layers, to provide any desired shape. It should be noted that the carrier body, such as a graphite fiber, remains present in the body, and in fact, lends the body substantial strength. Thus, if a tortuous path is desired for the pores of the ceramic body, the preform may be laid up on a tooling mold, corresponding to the desired path, and the body subsequently sintered, leaving a continuous, but non-linear pore through the ceramic body. Additionally, as is common in the prepreg art, a plurality of partially cured layers may be stacked together, and the resulting multi-layer product subsequently sintered. Alternatively, a plurality of layers may be stacked, and cured by heat and pressure below the sintering temperature to form a single block. The block can then be machined to the desired shape, and sintered. Where unidirectional tapes or similar carriers are employed, the orientation of the fibers in each layer can be altered, giving a multi-layered product, with continuous pores passing in different directions within the ceramic body. A preferred example of such an embodiment is one wherein alternating layers are laid at orientations 90° from the adjacent layer, providing an optimum heat-exchange device. The resulting device should be distinguished from that addressed in, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 3,112,184, which employs, as a carrier, a sheet or film, which provides only a single passageway per layer, resulting in inferior heat-exchange properties.
As noted, the carrier can be virtually any small dimensioned material which is resistant to the mild heating needed to preliminarily cure the resin but is destroyed upon sintering. U.S. Pat. No. 2,875,501 discloses the use of nylon fibers. Such fibers are undesirable, in view of the relatively large dimension that is the minimum that may be achieved in the preparation of such fibers. A preferred fiber is a graphite fiber, which can be provided with micron sized diameters and yet is well known to be compatible with ceramic sintering, disappearing from the ceramic body without ill effects or side reactions. Other suitable carriers would include fibers prepared from similar materials, which are commonly drawable or spinnable to fine dimensions, and include such organic fibers as dacron, silk, cotton, and the like. Certain high temperature resinous materials, which can be drawn to small dimension, can also be employed. Non-organic yarns, such as boron yarns, can also be used. It should be noted that in all cases, the final pore diameter will be less than the corresponding fiber diameter due to shrinkage of the ceramic material during firing. Generally, the shrinkage factor will be from 10-50% dependent upon the initial green density.
Of further note is the fact that reference has been made to carriers which are continuous in nature. This is not intended to distinguish between "continuous" fibers and fibers prepared from spun staple fragments. Rather, it is necessary, for the practice of the invention, to have a carrier which is continuous in length, such that a continuous passage is provided in the final ceramic body.
To prepare a ceramic body of controlled porosity, a unidirectional tape (36 tows) of graphite fiber (filament diameter approximately 7 microns) was drawn through a slurry containing 75 percent by volume acrylate resin and 25 percent Al2 O3 powder (0.5 micron). The tows were impregnated and the acrylate resin was cured by mild heating, up to about 350° F. The resulting sheets were stacked and fired in an oxygen containing atmosphere at 1400° C., for a period of about 2 hours. The graphite fibers burned off, leaving holes (passages) smaller than the diameter of the original fibers due to shrinkage of the ceramic during sintering. In this example, the resultant holes were 3.5 microns in diameter, 50% of the original.
Alternatively, multiple layers can be provided, in aligned fashion, and sintered to provide a catalyst support. With such a support it may also be advantageous to use textured or staple yarns or fibers as the support in order to increase the total surface area. For a heat-exchange device, the sheets are layered in alternating 0°-90° orientation. To prepare a ceramic body for filter applications, the layers are placed on a tool having a non-linear topography, and sintered thereon.
In all cases, upon sintering, the prepared device consists solely of the ceramic, with continuous pores provided therethrough.
Obviously, numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.

Wilson Statement on Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner
(Washington, DC) – Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) issued the following statement today in response to Boeing's announcement that the company will be building the 787-10 Dreamliner in South Carolina.
"Today's announcement is exciting news for our economy and jobs in the Palmetto State. Boeing continues to bring business to South Carolina primarily because of our successful right-to-work laws. The Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner is one-of-a kind and the first to be solely built in a nonunion factory.
"Boeing's decision to expand is tremendously significant for South Carolina's Second Congressional District as it will create jobs at Zeus Industrial Products, LLC in Orangeburg for tubing, Prysmian Group in Lexington for cable, AGY in Aiken for cabin interiors, and Thermal Engineering Corporation in Columbia for composite exterior painting. I look forward to watching production of this superior aircraft and am thankful for Boeing's continued investment in South Carolina."
