text: While the U.S. commercial shipbuilding industry outperformed the U.S. economy between 1992 and 2001, this period witnessed the construction of barely a dozen large ocean going vessels for our U.S. domestic trades with an aggregate cost of not much more than $500 million. In contrast, U. S. national transportation needs for the current decade will require the construction of four to five dozen such commercial vessels which, taken together with the building of smaller vessels to meet our other domestic needs, will involve shipbuilding contracts in excess of $6 to $7 billion. The majority of this work is federally mandated by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or involves the replacement of vessels in our U.S. non-contiguous trades that have reached the end of their useful lives. The balance is driven by U.S. population growth and environmental concerns that are not likely to abate. These U.S. national transportation needs are clear and immediate. However, the means for financing the vessels to meet these needs remains uncertain. During the last such period of major U.S. shipbuilding activity two important federal government assistance programs administered by the U.S. Maritime Administration (MarAd) under Title VI and Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1970 (the "1970 Act") were employed to meet vessel financing needs. To date, in this decade, there has been only limited recourse to these two potentially important financing programs. And, the Bush Administration Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") has apparently targeted both of these programs for termination. What conclusions can we draw concerning U.S. shipbuilding to meet our U.S. national transportation needs for the current decade? The U.S. Shipbuilding Scene: Vessel Needs The Jones Act and the Passenger Vessel Services Act reserve the carriage of cargo and passengers between U.S. ports to vessels built in the United States, operated under U.S. registry and owned and operated by U.S. citizens. These Acts protect U.S. shipbuilders from competition by foreign shipyards and provide a relatively stable maritime investment opportunity. While the world shipbuilding market is such that U.S. shipbuilding opportunities are limited to the U.S. domestic trades, there are well documented, existing and near-term transportation needs which will provide significant building opportunities for U.S. commercial shipbuilders. The most important opportunities are those which result from the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and the needs for double hulled vessels in our U.S. coastwise and Gulf of Mexico energy related services. These and other petroleum related requirements should provide varieties of employment which will bridge the entire spectrum of shipyard size. Supplementing this work, and of equal importance for our larger shipyards, are the ocean-going container and RoRo tonnage fleet replacements needed for our non-contiguous services, and perhaps for the initiation of coastwise feeder operations. Smaller yards should find ample supplemental employment in producing a wide variety of vessels, with perhaps the single most important subject matter being the vessels for expanding passenger and passenger/vehicle ferry services. OPA '90 — The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 Crude Carriers & Product Tankers and Barges OPA '90 requires the complete replacement of single hulled tank vessels to be used in the U.S. petroleum crude and product carrier and related trades in five-year intervals at the end of 2005, 2010 and 2015. The current U.S. flag tanker fleet is comprised of 103 vessels. Sixty-seven of these are product tankers and 36 are crude carriers. Ten of these vessels are double hulled and of recent construction. The remaining 93 vessels will be phased out at the above-mentioned five-year intervals. The replacement of Alaska crude carrier tonnage by the major energy companies involved in North Slope production is underway. The replacement of product carriers, the greater number of which are owned by independent operators, has hardly begun. Alaska Crude Carriers General Dynamics, National Steel & Ship Building Company (NASSCO) has orders for four double hulled 185,000 dwt tankers for British Petroleum's Alaska service with deliveries scheduled for 2003 through 2006. The purchaser holds options for two additional vessels. Northop Grumman Ship Systems - Avondale, has a five vessel series of 125,000 dwt double hulled crude oil tankers underway for use by Phillips Petroleum with deliveries scheduled to commence during the last quarter of this year and run through 2006. Taken together these deliveries should fill a substantial portion of the OPA '90 Alaska crude transportation needs in the absence of the opening and development of additional Alaskan acreage for petroleum production. Oil Product Carriers Apart from an initial four vessel group of OPA '90 product carrier rebuilds by AHL Shipping Company at Avondale, and a five vessel series completed in 1999 by Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company, very little of this construction has been placed under contract. The Jones Act product carrier fleet is currently fully employed. OPA '90 requirements will remove four vessels from service in 2003, two vessels in 2004, two vessels in 2006, one vessel in 2007 and three vessels in 2008. There are no vessels under contract for current construction. The Kvaerner Philadelphia Shipyard , Inc. has letters of intent for two projects representing a total of six product carriers. However, each of these projects, one for Keystone Shipping Company and one for AHL, is apparently conditioned upon financing arrangements which include MarAd Title XI awards. And, MarAd is said to be unwilling to proceed with either project in the absence of energy company charters that would assure the vessels' long term employment. So it appears that these transactions are on hold. There have been warnings from the Shipbuilders Council of America and others that current tanker construction is not proceeding at a pace which will be sufficient to meet OPA '90 replacement requirements, and of a coming product tanker construction crunch. There has also been speculation that energy company potential users are withholding charters which might support this domestic product tanker construction, with the expectation that these companies will be able to obtain waivers which will allow them to charter foreign built product tankers to meet their carriage needs in the coastwise trade. Some product carrier vessel needs could be met by double hulled barges. There is substantial construction of this sort. The vessel tonnage requirements might also be lessened to the extent that U.S. product needs are met by imports of foreign refined products on non-U.S. flag vessels. However, by almost any calculation one arrives at a figure of no fewer than 12 to 14 product tanker newbuildings being contracted for completion in the current decade. Oil Supply and Infrastructure Support Vessels & Other Oil and gas deep water drilling developments in the Gulf of Mexico appear likely to require some number of floating petroleum storage and operating vessel platforms (FPSOs). While these FPSOs can be of foreign construction, the shuttle vessels necessary for the transport of the crude petroleum to shore-side will require U.S. construction. There is talk of a need for 500,000 bbl capacity small tankers and/or articulated tug barge units for this service, perhaps two to four such shuttle vessels for each of perhaps four or five FPSOs. This could produce orders for perhaps as many as 16 to 20 vessels. It may be that these vessels can be financed based upon energy company charters and without MarAd Title XI guarantees. But if energy company charters cannot be obtained by Keystone and AHL for their current product carrier transactions at Kvaerner, it is difficult to see why energy company charters should be forthcoming in this FPSOs setting. Perhaps these crude carrier shuttle vessels will be financed by the energy companies themselves in the same fashion as the Alaska tankers. The timing for the environmental approvals and shipyard work necessary to put the FPSOs themselves in place seems somewhat uncertain. Any additional petroleum or gas start-up production in the Gulf of Mexico or Alaska will require support vessels or barges for the construction and start-up in addition to the tanker needs for the follow-on crude transport. Oil Product Carriers for U.S. Navy Needs There is a pressing need for fleet fuel supply vessels for the U.S. Navy and its Military Sealift Command. The existing fleets of U.S. Navy fuel supply vessels are nearing the ends of their useful lives. There is no apparent current plan for vessel replacement. Beyond this, there is no capacity to meet any expanded Navy needs which might result from any of a number of causes. The existing fuel supply fleet was created under "build and charter" programs which involved private sector operators, and private sector financing using the MarAd Title XI program. A program to address these needs might have been a matter of priority for the new Secretary of the Navy and the new Maritime Administrator. However, given that the Navy is now reported to have even cut back on the funding of the routine maintenance of the Ready Reserve Force, which is managed for the Navy by the Maritime Administration (with the result that several ROS-5 ships, which are fully crewed and supposed to be ready to go on 5 days' notice, have had to be reclassified as ROS-10 and their crews sent home) auxiliary support vessels do not appear to be a likely priority. It has also been reported that when the Military Sealift Command recently needed a tanker in the Indian Ocean it was forced to resort to chartering one with an Iraqi crew. And, the question has been asked "Why was the USS COLE refueling at an Aden dockside location instead of at sea?" The Military Sealift Command has stated that in a war emergency they would need 46 such vessels for fuel supply. Today, there are only a total of 48 product carriers in the Jones Act fleet. This number will drop to 36 in 2008. Perhaps 16 to 20 vessels are needed. Container & RoRo Tonnage - Non-Contiguous Liner Trades The container and RoRo fleets of the established carriers serving Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are aged. While none of these trades is experiencing rapid growth, the involved vessels are expensive to operate and increasingly expensive to maintain. Replacement plans are well underway by one of the major carriers for Alaska. Totem Ocean Trailer Express (TOTE) will be replacing three Sun Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company built RoRo vessels with two newly commissioned 600 trailer vessels now being built at NASSCO. Some years ago, the Matson Navigation Company, the predominant carrier in the Hawaiian trade, adopted a maintenance program designed to prolong the service lives of its vessels and so to postpone new construction. As the Hawaiian economy appeared to be returning to health in 2000, fleet replacements became a subject matter of discussion, only to be postponed by the damage to the Hawaiian tourism economy following September 11. Now it appears that Matson is prepared to move forward with Kvaerner with a four vessel contract (two firm and two under option) for the Kvaerner 35,000 dwt container vessel design. If so, this is certainly a major step forward for everyone involved in this transaction and for U.S. shipbuilding more generally. The fleet serving Puerto Rico is truly antique. Two of the five Lancer class container vessels used by Navieras de Puerto Rico were commissioned 1968, the others in 1969, 1970 and 1971. The two SUN-built RoRos used by Sea Star Line first entered service in 1974. The numbers for the required new vessel tonnage have appeared substantial. But, overtonnaging in this trade (less than break even rates and the resulting financial problems) have until now caused operators to postpone replacements. The recently announced Sea Star purchase of Navieras should alleviate some of the overtonnaging. However, once TOTE newbuildings for Alaska and MATSON newbuilding for Hawaii are complete, TOTE will have three SUN-built RoRo vessels, and Matson will have two SUN-built RoRo combination vessels, surplus to their needs. These could be substituted for the Lancers and might be a satisfactory fit with the two SUN-built ro/ros which Sea Star currently operates. Perhaps CSX Lines LLC rumored sale situation offers the largest measure of vessel new buildings open to speculation. What if an ambitious, well financed purchaser were to come forward? This would certainly signal CSX fleet replacements in all three of the non-contiguous trades, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, and probably force Sea Star to newbuildings for Puerto Rico rather than the substitution of existing SUN-built RoRos. Coastwise Liner Trades Recent highway gridlock on major sections of the U. S. interstate highway system, coupled with projections for the growth of U.S. container commerce over the next decade and beyond has focused attention on the need to augment existing and projected highway and rail facilities with a waterborne alternative. The problem has been a subject for increased study and discussion in the last three to four years. The Interstate 95 and Interstate 5, East Coast and West Coast, corridors present the most serious current and projected gridlock problems. On the East Coast, gridlock caused on-shore delays in container deliveries sometimes now exceed the number of days involved in the container's Atlantic crossing. The most immediate problem blocking this development is said to be a lack of adequate shore-side infrastructure. It seems likely that most of these movements will be by RoRo feeder barges or RoRo vessels, with distance dictating the choice between barge and vessel. Either design should be able to at least partially avoid expensive container handling facilities and make use of existing infrastructure and roadstead sites. There is a clearly existing transportation need. With the proper choice of equipment operators could accelerate this development. Perhaps the TOTE and Matson SUN-built RoRos will find a home here? It is difficult to assign a newbuildings figure for these trades in the presence of so many variables. This article is reprinted, in part, with permission of MarineNews. Mr. Cook discusses the vibrant opportunities in the Passenger and RoRo/Passenger Ferry segments in the June 10, 2002 edition of MarineNews. For a copy, call 212-477-6700 or e-mail: email@example.com. End Notes There are current domestic trades shipbuilding opportunities for fleet replacement and expanded needs for our OPA '90 and other coastwise and Gulf of Mexico energy related services; fleet replacements for the non-contiguous services; and vessels for expanding ferry needs in passenger and passenger/vehicle services in coastwise, Great Lakes and inland services. These opportunities are likely to continue and expand as they become more clearly defined during the course of the decade. What does this mean for U.S. shipbuilding? In reviewing the domestic transportation scene we can probably agree upon the areas of need, and upon the vessel design and shipyard construction solutions. The problem that remains is that of attracting the equity capital and long term debt financing necessary to fund these projects on a basis which is sufficiently economical to allow project success. In the end, U.S. shipbuilding opportunities during the current decade will be constrained, not by transportation needs, or vessel design or shipyard capacity, but by the lack of reasonably priced capital which is likely to be dedicated to meeting national waterborne transportation needs.

Senate Passes Bill to Improve Health and Safety of Dogs and Cats Sold by Pet Stores
State Senator Hugh T. Farley (R, C, I - Schenectady) announced that he and his colleagues in the New York State Senate recently gave final legislative passage to a bill (S7268A), that will ensure improved health and safety of pets sold in stores. The Senate took up the bill on New York State Animal Advocacy Day at the Capitol, where legislators and animal advocates network, share ideas, and lobby for stronger anti-cruelty laws.
Dogs and cats that are sold by some pet stores receive inadequate exercise, veterinary care, and protection from the spread of disease.
This legislation will provide that any licensed pet dealer must:
· Designate a veterinarian to care for the animals at the facility, who will be available for emergency, weekend and holiday care, as well as regular visitation;
· Develop a program to prevent, control and respond to diseases and injuries;
· Provide an isolation area for animals that exhibit symptoms of contagious disease or illness in order to prevent or reduce the spread of disease to healthy animals;
· Designate an employee to provide daily observation of all animals to assess their health and well-being;
· Maintain a daily exercise plan for dogs;
· Vaccinate as required by the state or local law all animals;
· Not sell any animal that has been diagnosed with a congenital condition or contagious disease.

Normal fit and very comfortableRead More
I purchased a size 8, and the eight was closer to a 6.5. These shoes are not true to size, you will need to order up at least 1 size. The arch is very high, which makes them uncomfortable to wear. I tried to put in inserts, but even those didn't help with the arch. The shoe itself is very nice looking, but very uncomfortable to wear.Read More
these look so good with my pantaloons. so amazing these are darling and make my cafes look awsomeRead More
This shoe was one of the worst booties I have ever looked at, because I couldn't get it on my foot. It was hard to tell which boot was right and which was left. Once I did get one on, I wasn't sure if that was the right foot. I will make this simple, lose the shoe for good.Read More
This boot looks amazing in the picture, and looks good when you get it......BUT thats where the relationship stops! The first pair i ordered my size...a 7...Which I wear in all shoes.......I could not even stand up in these things, my feet hurt so bad. I have never felt such pain in my toes....I sent those back, and re-ordered a 7.5....These are too big.......and still very unconfortable. I inserted a jell and tighted the straps...they are still big and uncomfortalbe. But I'm not going through the hassle of sending them back again. I will not order this band again.!!!Read More
I ordered these cute boots in a size 7 - but when I received them - they were too tight across the toes - I couldn't walk in them - so I had to send them back and reordered a 7-1/2. I have the larger size now - and they are very cute boots - although with more room in the toe - the arch doesn't exactly hit at the right spot on my foot. I should stick to pointier shoes so my toes have more room. Overstock did a great job with my return and getting the new size. I would order from O again.Read More
These boots are super cute but not very comfortable on the toe area. It feels like my toes are being bent upwards a bit too much. I kept the shoes but will not wear them for long periods of time, whether I'm sitting, standing, or walking.Read More
These boots fit really well. I love the way the buckles look. The tops rise just the right amount up the leg.Read More

I find in searching patents, you get distracted with all the seemingly pretty good ideas that for some reason appear nowhere in the marketplace. I wondered if it might be fun to create free implementations of patents that are commercially unimplemented (for whatever the strategic reasons might be). There certainly seems to be enough people out there capable of doing almost anything. The space is there to build prototypes. The end product (i.e. a reference design) would be freely available and therefore not in violation of any patents.
Maybe the hackspace guys could create an administrative process for vetting and accepting project proposals, a process of forming a project group, and assigning a project manager. Each group would fund or resource itself and operate in a organizational structure that would be predetermined. I think once that is established, things will start moving and there would be a lot of valuable experience being created. This could also attract financial support and so the snowball rolls ...
If the patent owner does not develop the idea into a product. It must be better than anything in existence for someone else to bother with the development expense only to pay the patent owner royalties.
Managing an administrative process by volunteers is very difficult.
I am not sure Vancouver Hackspace Society can make the transition required to have paid staff required to manage the administrative process.
If this did get off the ground, it would offer valuable experience and funding. But ... see my points above. Please feel free to reach out to me directly. I write and implement patents as hobby, I hope to turn into a profitable business. I can tell you it takes a lot more money than you think to implement most patents.

How Adobe Will Improve the Selfie (with AI)
Posted by Greg Scoblete on Thursday April 6, 2017 | Photo Manipulation
Posted by Greg Scoblete on Thursday April 6, 2017 | Photo Manipulation
When we think of artificial intelligence we usually think of HAL stubbornly refusing to open the pod bay doors, or Arnold Schwarzenegger promising to be back. But better selfies?
Adobe Research just released this teaser video showcasing some of the AI-driven advancements it wants to bring to bear on the selfie. "By combining perspective effect editing, automatic, software-only photo masking, and photo style transfer technology, we're able to transform a typical selfie into a flattering portrait with a pleasing depth-of-field effect that can also replicate the style of another portrait photo," Adobe notes.
So, when the robot apocalypse comes, at least you'll look good.
But in all seriousness, this video is important not simply as a testament to the lengths we'll go to look good. It's a useful preview of how AI is going to transform photo editing and photography in general. The June issue of PDN will do a deep dive into how AI is impacting the photo industry, with insights from Adobe and others.
As a certain president might say, it's going to be huge.

#PFW Runway Recap: Dior Spring 2015 Draws On Past And Present
Instead of shut down his ready to wear lines like Jean Paul Gaultier has decided to do, in response to the increasing speed and demands of fashion, Raf Simons has decided to slow things down in his own way. Instead of theorizing different inspirations for every collection(that's couture and women's ready-to-wear for Dior and then his own men's line) the designer has decided, at least for this season, to reuse an inspiration point for one of his other collections.
That meant that in the mirrored box of the Louvre's Cour Carree, anyone who had seen the designer's latest couture collection might have felt that they were in a redux of that show. Even the venue told that story with it's pared back, brightly lit aesthetic.
For the clothes there was a slight juxtaposition. For Raf Simons there's always a push towards modernity, a cleanliness and bearability to pieces that has followed him from his own label to Jil Sander and now to Dior. That was here in spades(the first four looks were almost completely white, the first of which was a simple sleeveless turtleneck and pair of trousers) but set against an 18th century flare. As you can imagine, things were varied.
Some looks came out beautiful, indicative of Raf's signature style. There was a parade of Bar jackets, sans belt, as well as a high waisted, curve hugging skirt with four buttons at each hip pocket, that were all standouts from the line. But there was, shall we say, a slight stumble in pieces like a long sleeved sateen coat in silver, and a few of the gauzy gowns that came before it that seemed slight stumbling blocks, fillers maybe for the designer. But of course the designer recovered brilliantly, the most glamorous reduces of bomber jackets and flight suits as well as a lineup of satin linen filets that referenced 18th century court coats but came modernized when layered over Bermuda shorts.

Temperatures dropping as low as 3 degrees Fahrenheit overnight did not deter a final total of around 1,000 hard core Utah supporters of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin from showing up on Wednesday December 9th to get her signature on a copy of her book, "Going Rogue". At least 60 of them camped out at the Salt Lake City Costco warehouse the night before to be among the first to meet Palin. Costco managers didn't force them to remain in the parking lot; instead, they let people camp out in the breezeway outside the door, where temperatures were still near-freezing on the concrete floor, but there was some protection from the elements. Heaters were set up and guests were served hot chocolate through the night. Class act, Costco. Both KUTV Channel 2 and KTVX Channel 4 reported that the final total of people who showed up was around 1,000.
Shirley McClay drove down from Logan and arrived at 5:15 p.m. to get the No. 1 spot. "I have a real conviction to elect someone ... who has the same beliefs I have: anti-abortion, less government and more family-oriented," said McClay. "She needs to be supported in her beliefs." Palin and the Costco managers also showed their regard for the military; when Staff Sgt. Tai Ho'o and two other uniformed servicemembers showed up, Costco managers moved the three of them to the front of the line. A number of "Palin look-alikes" also showed up to get their pictures taken with Palin.
Palin was accompanied by her husband, Todd, their infant son Trigg, and her parents and aunt. The family arrived around midnight Tuesday and spent the night at the Hotel Monaco in downtown Salt Lake City. Sarah's mother Sally Heath, who was born in Salt Lake City and lived here for three years before her father was transferred by a chemical company to work at the nuclear facility in Hanford, Washington, said she liked being in a conservative state. "It's kind of preaching to the choir going on here," Sally Heath told the Deseret News. "It's such a good feeling to be with people of like mind and good family values."

KSTU Channel 13 also posted a story; their news video embedded below:
And here's a YouTube video from Conservatives4Palin:
But not all Utah Republicans are enamored of Palin. Utah Republican Party Chairman Dave Hansen was disappointed that Sarah Palin would only be signing books during her stop in Utah. Hansen said he tried to arrange some kind of party event since he learned Palin was coming to town. But late last week, Palin's people told him she wasn't doing that kind of thing, even though she allegedly did one such event in Minnesota. "Sometimes I wonder if they forget that it was the Republicans that made her into the position to where she could have a book signing," said Hansen.
It figures. While the elite snobs look down their noses at Palin, mainstream Americans are responding to her message. But it should also be noted that Utah is "Romney Country"; Mitt Romney remains quite popular in the state.

PARAMARIBO, Suriname—
On the battlements of Fort Zeelandia, overlooking a vast murky stretch of the Suriname River, the tour guide stops in front of a wall riddled with bullet holes. Speaking in Dutch, the guide outlines the events of the night of December 8, 1982, when 15 prominent opponents of Suriname's military dictatorship were brought to the fort, tortured, and executed against the wall.
For 33 years, the December Murders, as the events became known, have been Suriname's touchstone political event, like the JFK assassination and the Watergate scandal rolled into one. Although the perpetrators of the crime were never brought to account, there is a prominent prime suspect: Desi Bouterse, coup leader, military dictator, drug runner, and, since 2010, the hugely popular, democratically-elected president of Suriname.
Until earlier this month, however, the murder case against Bouterse and 22 other suspects looked to be dead and buried. A 2012 amnesty law passed by Suriname's congress shut down the trial process begun in 2007. Today the tiny pink-bricked Fort Zeelandia—built by the French in 1640 and which today looks more like a boutique hotel than a defensive post—is the country's premier, if modest, tourist attraction. The pockmarked wall is just a stop on the tour.
But two weeks ago the country's High Court ruled that the military trial must resume. Given that the prosecutor only has to pass his verdict and sentencing, the verdict could come as soon as January. A month from now the country's leader could be removed from power as a convicted murderer, although his political influence makes jail time unlikely.

People who were strong and powerful are falling apart left right and centre, it seems the sky has opened up and all hell has broken lose. It is no secret to anyone who runs the British government, as Fleet Street has always been dubbed as the real powerhouse of British Empire. For decades editors and writers have shaped the careers of many politicians and prime ministers. Many prime Ministers faced situations that tested their might against the mighty press. Majority of them succumbed to the manipulation of newspapers or some of them were lucky enough to manipulate and use them according to their policy.

Ukraine accuses Russia of sending tanks, armored vehicles onto its territory
NOVOAZOVSK, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine accused Russia on Thursday of entering its territory with tanks, artillery and troops, and Western powers said Moscow had "outright lied" about its role and dangerously escalated the conflict.
Russia dismissed the allegations, describing the fighters there as "Russian volunteers." The Kremlin has repeatedly denied arming and supporting the separatists who have been fighting Ukrainian troops for four months in the gravest crisis between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War.
NATO said at least 1,000 Russian troops are in Ukraine and later released what it said were satellite photos of Russian self-propelled artillery units moving last week.
Two columns of tanks and other equipment entered southeastern Ukraine at midday, following heavy shelling of the area from Russia that forced overmatched Ukrainian border guards to flee, said Col. Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine's national security council.
"Russian forces have entered Ukraine," President Petro Poroshenko said in Kiev, canceling a foreign trip and calling an emergency meeting of his security council.
Islamic State group kills dozens of captured Syrian soldiers, posts photos online
BEIRUT (AP) — The Islamic State group killed more than 160 Syrian government troops seized in recent fighting, posting pictures Thursday of terrified young conscripts stripped down to their underwear before meeting their deaths in the arid Syrian countryside.
The slayings were the latest massacre attributed to the extremist group, which has terrorized rivals and civilians alike with widely publicized brutality in Syria and Iraq as it seeks to expand a proto-state it has carved out on both sides of the border.
In southern Syria, meanwhile, gunmen detained 43 U.N. peacekeepers during fighting on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, the United Nations said. It added that another 81 peacekeepers were trapped in the area by heavy clashes between rebels and Syrian troops.
The mass killing of Syrian soldiers is part of a stepped up campaign by Islamic State militants targeting President Bashar Assad's forces. Until recently, the group had been focused on eliminating rivals among the rebels fighting to topple him, systematically routing Western-backed opposition fighters and other Islamic factions from towns and villages in northern and eastern Syria as it expands.
More recently, the jihadists have turned their attention to Assad's forces, seizing a series of military bases in northeastern Raqqa province. In the process, they have killed hundreds of pro-government forces, beheading some and later displaying their severed heads on poles and fences and posting the pictures online.

UN health agency: Ebola is accelerating in West Africa and could sicken as many as 20,000
GENEVA (AP) — The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is accelerating and could grow six times larger to infect as many as 20,000 people, the World Health Organization said Thursday. The U.N. health agency unveiled a new road map for containing the virus, and scientists are fast-tracking efforts to find a treatment or vaccine.
Ebola has menaced Africa for 40 years, but previously struck in remote villages and was contained fairly quickly. This time, it has spread to major cities in four countries, provoking unrest as whole neighborhoods and towns have been sealed to the outside.
An experimental vaccine developed by the U.S. government and GlaxoSmithKline will be tested on humans starting next week, the U.S. National Institutes of Health announced Thursday. The NIH trial will use healthy adult volunteers in Maryland, and British experts will simultaneously test the same vaccine in healthy people in the U.K., Gambia and Mali.
Preliminary results on the vaccine's safety — not its effectiveness — could be available in months.
Scientists also announced that they have mapped the genetic code of this strain of Ebola to better understand how it kills. In a study published Thursday in the journal Science, researchers traced an explosion of cases in this outbreak to a single funeral in Guinea in May.
High school buddies followed similar path into militant Islam — and met the same end
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The two high school buddies loved to shoot hoops and crack jokes with their friends. They both converted to Islam in early adulthood. And both were recruited by terror groups to leave the United States and die for jihadist causes.
It wasn't immediately clear how Douglas McAuthur McCain and Troy Kastigar were drawn into radicalism after their initial conversion to the Muslim faith or whether they might have influenced one another along the way. But the two best friends went down similar paths and met the same end.
Both young men attended Robbinsdale Cooper High School in the Minneapolis suburb of New Hope. Kastigar was in the class of 1999, though he left school in February of that year without a diploma, according to school records. McCain went to Robbinsdale from 1997 to 1999, before transferring to nearby Armstrong High School. He did not graduate either.
Address records show McCain lived at Kastigar's house for a period from 2000 to 2001, although that could not be independently verified.
"They were really funny guys. They were goofy. They were just always laughing, hanging out together, joking around. They were just nice," said Alicia Adams, a former classmate who was friends with both McCain and Kastigar in high school.
Arizona historian works to unearth the past of a long-neglected Indian cemetery
WINSLOW, Ariz. (AP) — A dusty, barren field in the shadow of a busy Arizona interstate was for decades a place where children played freely, teenagers spooked themselves on Halloween and locals dumped trash, seemingly unaware of the history beneath them.
Inside cotton sacks, burlap bags and blankets buried in the ground are the remains dating back to the 1930s of stillborn babies, tuberculosis patients, and sick and malnourished Native Americans from Winslow and the nearby Navajo and Hopi reservations.
It's hard, if not impossible, to know where each grave, some just 18 inches deep, is located at the Winslow Indian Cemetery. The aluminum plates and crosses that once marked them were trampled on, washed away or carried off.
It was no place to mourn, thought local historical preservationist Gail Sadler, before she made it her mission to unearth the identities of the roughly 600 people buried there and help their descendants reconnect with their history.
"If anyone is searching for family, I don't want these little ones to be lost," said the soft-spoken child welfare worker.
California Legislature passes bill changing consent mandate for college rape investigations
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — State lawmakers on Thursday passed a bill that would make California the first state to define when "yes means yes" while investigating sexual assaults on college campuses.
The Senate unanimously passed SB967 as states and universities across the U.S. are under pressure to change how they handle rape allegations. The bill now goes to Gov. Jerry Brown, who has not indicated his stance on the bill.
Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, said his bill would begin a paradigm shift in how California campuses prevent and investigate sexual assault. Rather than using the refrain "no means no," the definition of consent under the bill requires "an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity." Earlier versions of the bill had similar language.
"With this measure, we will lead the nation in bringing standards and protocols across the board so we can create an environment that's healthy, that's conducive for all students, not just for women, but for young men as well too, so young men can develop healthy patterns and boundaries as they age with the opposite sex," de Leon said before the vote.
Silence or lack of resistance does not constitute consent. The legislation says it's also not consent if the person is drunk, drugged, unconscious or asleep.
Obama reiterates pledge to act on immigration if Congress doesn't, but sets no timeline
WASHINGTON (AP) — With a self-imposed deadline looming, President Barack Obama said Thursday he still intends to act on his own to change immigration policies but stopped short of reiterating his past vows to act by end of summer.
Obama raised the slim hope that Congress could take action on a broad immigration overhaul after the midterm elections in November. He said that if lawmakers did not pass an overhaul, "I'm going to do what I can to make sure the system works better."
But for the first time since pledging to act by summer's end, he signaled that such a target date could slip. He said that the administration had been working to reduce the flow of unaccompanied minors attempting to cross the border and noted that the number of apprehensions at the border had fallen in August.
"Some of these things do affect time lines and we're just going to be working through as systematically as possible in order to get this done," he said in a news conference where he also addressed Russian aggression in Ukraine and action against Islamic State militants.
Two months ago, Obama angrily conceded that the House did not intend to take up immigration legislation this year and ordered Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and Attorney General Eric Holder to come up with actions the president could take on his own.
US sanctions Oklahoma for ditching Common Core education standards; teacher layoffs possible
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — President Barack Obama's administration on Thursday stripped Oklahoma of authority to decide how to spend $29 million in education funding because the state abandoned national academic standards known as Common Core, in a rebuke that a union official said could lead to teacher layoffs.
The U.S. Department of Education said it was hitting Oklahoma with the sanction under the No Child Left Behind Act because the state could no longer demonstrate that its school standards were preparing students for college and careers.
The Republican-dominated Oklahoma Legislature voted this year to ditch Common Core, a national benchmark for what students should learn in such subjects as math and English that has been adopted in more than 40 states. GOP Gov. Mary Fallin signed the measure into law and Oklahoma will revert to weaker standards in place in 2010.
Following the announcement, Fallin blasted Obama and the federal government for the decision and said Oklahoma would fight vigorously.
"It is outrageous that President Obama and Washington bureaucrats are trying to dictate how Oklahoma schools spend education dollars," she said in a statement. "This is one more example of an out-of-control presidency that places a politicized Washington agenda over the well-being of Oklahoma students."
Daughter: Joan Rivers 'resting comfortably' at NYC hospital
NEW YORK (AP) — Joan Rivers was hospitalized Thursday after she was rushed from a doctor's office when she went into cardiac arrest, police and hospital officials said.
In a statement, Melissa Rivers said her mother was "resting comfortably" with family. She did not elaborate on the 81-year-old comedian's condition.
"We ask that you continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers," Melissa Rivers said. She offered thanks for the "overwhelming love and support for my mother."
Earlier Thursday, The Mount Sinai Hospital spokesman Sid Dinsay confirmed that Rivers was brought there in the morning.
New York City police officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to publicly name Rivers, said she was taken to the hospital just after 9:30 a.m. Thursday. It was unclear why she was visiting the doctor's office.

Picture: Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott - Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott leave Katsuya restaurant in Hollywood - Los Angeles, California, United States - Friday 5th...
Tv star Tori Spelling and her husband Dean McDermott have put off plans for the actor to undergo a vasectomy after realising they lacked the funds to pay for the pricey procedure.
The former Beverly Hills, 90210 actress reveals she and her family have downsized and cut back on their expenses following the cancellation of their latest reality show, Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, last year (12), although she insists they are hardly broke.
She explains, "We're in the entertainment business, and things change year to year. We don't have a series on the air right now, so we have to be more restrictive of what we can spend, just like anyone who doesn't currently have a steady job."
Spelling claims living a less extravagant lifestyle has helped her teach their four young children all about the importance of "repurposing", telling People magazine, "It's a really good value to have."
The financial cutbacks have prompted MCDermott to temporarily postpone a vasectomy, which can cost anywhere from $350 (£230) to $4,000 (£2,670), to prevent the couple from any unplanned pregnancies in the future.
Spelling, who grew up in a sprawling Los Angeles mega-mansion with her Tv mogul dad Aaron Spelling and her mum Candy, admits the lack of a regular pay cheque has forced her to stop buying designer goods, but it's a luxury she is happy to live without: "I haven't bought a purse in three years, and that's fine. I look back at that girl who shopped at Gucci in my 20s and I can't even relate. I can't believe I thought it was important."
However, Spelling's future is already looking up - she recently signed on to star in Mystery Girls, a new crime-fighting comedy with her Beverly Hills, 90210 pal Jennie Garth.
She adds, "I work really hard and there are certain things I want to give my kids. Like a big kick-a** farm! We've had lows, but I set goals and I keep going. I always bank on myself."
Technically speaking, "Scary Movie 2" is a real mess. The editing is pathetic, mostly because...

On Sept. 6, 2014, the Ministry of Commerce (the MOC) released the Measures for the Administration of Outbound Investment (the Measures), which became effective Oct. 6, 2014, replacing the earlier version released by the MOC in 2009 (the 2009 Version).
Compared with the 2009 Version, the Measures introduce several changes to the approval and filing procedures for outbound investments by Chinese enterprises and filing requirements for re-investment of an overseas enterprise invested by Chinese enterprises.
Simplified Approval Requirements
The Measures specify that the MOC and its provincial departments should carry out record-filing administration or approval administration depending on the different circumstances of overseas investments. Overseas investments involving "sensitive countries and regions" or "sensitive industries" are subject to approval, and overseas investments under other circumstances are only subject to record- filing requirements.
"Sensitive countries and regions" refer to (i) countries or regions that do not have diplomatic relations with China; and/or (ii) countries or regions under the United Nations' sanctions. When necessary, the MOC may separately announce the list of countries and regions for approval administration under the Measures.
"Sensitive industries" refer to (i) industries involving export of restricted products and technologies, and/or (ii) industries affecting the interests of at least one country or region.
Shortened Filing Timeline
The Measures provide that the MOC and its provincial departments should issue the Certificate of Outbound Investment (the voucher for Chinese enterprises being filed or approved for outbound investments) for those outbound investments subject to record-filing within three days upon receipt of a standard Filing Form provided that the following conditions should be met before issuance of such certificate: (1) the Filing Form is true, complete and meets the statutory form; and (2) the proposed outbound investments will not (a) harm the sovereignty and security of China and public interests, or violate Chinese laws or regulations; (b) damage the relation between China and a relevant country (region); (c) violate the international treaty or convention concluded with other countries by China; or (d) engage in exporting of products or technologies which are forbidden to be exported out of China.
New Provisions on Overseas Re-investment
The Measures propose a new provision relating to overseas re-investment. It provides that the overseas re-investment of an overseas enterprise, invested in by a Chinese enterprise, should be reported to MOC or its provincial departments after the overseas legal procedures (such as legal formalities for establishing an overseas entity) are completed.
The changes provided by the Measures will facilitate outbound investment projects by eliminating approval requirements in most circumstances and improving the efficiency of the filing procedures.

* Markets seek direction after rise to all-time high
* Home Depot rises after results, Macy's falls
* Data on consumer confidence, home prices on tap
* Futures down: Dow 30 pts, S&P 3.8 pts, Nasdaq 5 pts
By Ryan Vlastelica
NEW YORK, Feb 25 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures edged lower on Tuesday, with investors finding few reasons to buy following a rally that took the S&P 500 to an all-time intraday high.
* Monday's advance to record levels fully erased the S&P's biggest pullback in more than a year and raised new questions about what catalysts will drive shares decisively higher from here. Despite Monday's climb, Wall Street ended off its highs and the S&P failed to close at a record.
* While the market's upward trend is still viewed as intact, valuation concerns have been raised following a string of economic data that came in below forecasts. While many analysts pin the weakness to harsh winter weather rather than weakening fundamentals, trading are looking for evidence the market's levels are justified.
* Home Depot Inc rose 1.6 percent to $79.15 in premarket trading after the Dow component's earnings beat expectations, though sales fell more than expected in the fourth quarter.
* On the downside, Macy's Inc fell 2.1 percent to $51.94 after the retailer reported a drop in January sales, though its fourth-quarter earnings rose from the prior year.
* Market participants will be closely monitoring February consumer confidence data, due out at 10:00 a.m. EST (1500 GMT), as well as a read on home prices with December Case-Shiller data at 9:00 a.m. Confidence is seen dipping slightly from the prior month, while home prices are seen rising 0.6 percent.
* Many traders are looking ahead to Thursday, when Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen will speak to the Senate Banking Committee in semi-annual testimony about monetary policy. The comments will be scoured for insight into how much bad weather has affected economic activity, as well as for confirmation the Fed will not change its schedule for trimming stimulus.
* S&P 500 futures fell 3.8 points and were below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures lost 30 points and Nasdaq 100 futures slid 5 points.
* Tenet Healthcare Corp late Monday swung to a net loss in its fourth quarter, though adjusted earnings were better than expected.
* Biocryst Pharmaceuticals Inc rose 3.3 percent to $11.99 in light premarket trading after the company said the Food and Drug Administration had accepted the New Drug Application for its Peramivir product.
* Sina Corp shares fell in premarket trading a day after the company reported adjusted earnings that beat estimates by a penny, even as revenue jumped 43 percent.
* SolarCity Corp, the largest residential solar installer in the United States, said it expects to install fewer panels in a seasonally weak first quarter due to cold weather.
* Perry Ellis International Inc late Monday forecast a fall in quarterly revenue, sending shares sharply lower after the market closed.

Xilinx Virtex-4 QPRO MIL-grade FPGAs are designed for the aerospace and defense industry. The Virtex-4 QPRO FPGAs provides the industry's most comprehensive 'space to base' device portfolio with higher performance, lower power options, and full military temperature-qualification. The new Virtex-4 QPRO family builds on the existing Virtex-II QPRO device offering, which includes the industry's first military temperature-qualified FPGA with an embedded processor core, introduced in January 2005.
Xilinx Virtex-4 QPRO FPGAs are an enhanced subset of Xilinx FPGAs targeted specifically at the stringent requirements of aerospace and defense applications. Devices include the Virtex-4 XQ4VLX25 (24,192 logic cells), Virtex-4 XQ4VLX60 (59,904 logic cells) for logic-intensive designs, and the Virtex-4 XQ4VSX55 (55,296 logic cells) for high-performance digital signal processing (DSP).
The domain-optimized approach inherent to the Virtex-4 family makes it possible for aerospace and defense designers to select the optimal mix of resources for their specific application. Features such as the logic fabric, block memory, clock management, and the XtremeDSP slices are all performance matched to support up to a 500 MHz clock speed. The hardened intellectual property (IP) blocks coupled with 90nm triple-oxide technology enables lower power consumption reduced by as much as 50 percent over previous generation devices.
Xilinx aerospace and defense products, including the new Virtex-4 QPRO family, are backed by robust manufacturing process control systems and extended lifecycles that typically exceed 10 years to meet the stringent quality and long-term requirements of aerospace and defense programs. Today, Xilinx QPRO devices are deployed successfully on many major programs.
The Virtex-4 QPRO military temperature (MIL-grade) devices are immediately available.

text: A recently adopted law effectively bans tankers carrying liquefied natural gas from entering Narragansett Bay -- a restriction Rhode Island lawmakers hope will prevent an LNG terminal from being built in nearby Fall River, Mass. Coast Guard officials say the law may prove illegal and could seek to block it. The Boston Globe reported that the bill, signed on July 11 by Gov. Don Carcieri, prohibits LNG tankers from coming within hundreds of yards of multiple obstacles and hazards, including people, docks, waterfront facilities, hunting grounds or anywhere workers are welding. As a result, LNG tankers can't legally enter even the widest entrances to Narragansett Bay, said Rep. Raymond Gallison Jr., D-Portsmouth, the bill's sponsor. Gallison said his bill increases pressure on Weaver's Cove Energy to abandon plans to build a $250m LNG terminal along the Taunton River in Fall River. To reach the terminal, LNG tankers must pass through Narragansett Bay. Project critics, including Carcieri and Gallison, say an attack or accident involving an LNG tanker could cause the ship's flammable cargo to explode, igniting waterfront communities. According to the Boston Globe, Weaver's Cove Energy doesn't believe Rhode Island authorities can regulate tanker traffic on Narragansett Bay. Coast Guard authorities warned on July 13 that Rhode Island lawmakers have overstepped their authority. The Coast Guard has already established rules governing how tankers must transport hazardous cargo through Narragansett Bay. Those federal regulations generally supersede state law, said the Coast Guard. (Source: Boston Globe)

MUDVAYNE's fourth studio album, "The New Game", has sold 109,000 copies in the United States alone, since its November 18th release. The album sold 48,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release and landed at position No. 15 on The Billboard charts!
Mudvayne's new album, "The New Game" follows an extended period in which MUDVAYNE recorded two full length albums of new material. Singer Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett also went off to record and tour with the killer rock band known as, HELLYEAH!
Chad Grey also went live on air and told The Pulse of Radio that, "all the hard work paid off in creating Mudvaynes most mature album yet." He went on to say, "I really think that music kind of comes from where you're at in life and I think that every record we come out with, we learn a little more about each other. It's not easier to write songs for us, but it's a lot easier to write songs for us; we understand each other better. Some things usto take us forever to figure out, we're a little quicker now and able to kind of realize the direction that we're going in." The band has grown a lot since forming together in 2001 and they've been through so much over the years and have grown as a band as well as individuals.
Metal Til Death conducted an interview with bassist Ryan Martinie and drummer Matt McDonough of MUDVAYNE at Rams Head Live! in Baltimore, Maryland. Watch the 10-minute interview below.
MUDVAYNE, NONPOINT and IN THIS MOMENT will team up for a U.S. tour in early 2009,so be ready for it, get your tickets, get out there, support the bands and GET READY TO ROCK!

Walnut Creek's Lesher Center kicks off its 2014 jazz series on July 12 with four-time Grammy nominated singer/pianist Karrin Allyson.
Performing at 5 and 8 p.m., Allyson will sing her way through the Gershwins, Cole Porter, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie and more.
Vocalist and jazz guitarist John Pizzarelli follows Aug. 9; with the Clayton Brothers Quintet slated for Aug. 16; and trumpet virtuoso Roy Hargrove on Aug. 23.
Produced by Diablo Regional Arts Association, the jazz series began in 2012 and has been selling out.
Also at the Lesher Center, though not part of the jazz series, pianist Gregory Taboloff will give a solo recital on at 4 p.m. July 13. His program includes works by Scarlatti, Beethoven, Schumann, Debussy, Rachmaninoff and Chopin.
For tickets to both the jazz series and the solo recital, call 925-943-SHOW (925-943-7469) or go to www.lesherartscenter.org.
People who loved the television series "The Addams Family" now have an opportunity to become one of their beloved, yet bizarre favorite characters when two companies audition for the musical.
First up, Bay Area Stage Productions holds auditions at 7:30 p.m. July 14-15, at the Martinez Campbell Theatre.
Jeff Lowe directs, with Justin Pyne as musical director.
Those auditioning should prepare 32 bars of music and bring sheet music in their key. The large cast includes 10 men (ages 18-65), one 12-year-old boy, and 10 women (ages 18-65).
The show performs Oct. 17—Nov. 2, at the Campbell Theatre, and Nov. 7-9, at the Empress Theatre in Vallejo.
For information, call 707-649-1053 or email email@example.com.
Contra Costa Civic Theatre in El Cerrito holds auditions for the show from 7:30 to 10 p.m. July 24, and from noon to 5 p.m. July 26.
It performs Sept. 19—Oct. 19. For an audition appointment, email email@example.com and put Addams Auditions in the subject line. Character descriptions are available at www.ccct.org.
David Mamet's 1975 play "American Buffalo," which solidified his reputation as a writer, receives a spot-on production at Berkeley's Aurora Theatre through July 20.
Tony-nominated director Barbara Damashek says she prepared for Mamet's play about three small-time crooks in a junk shop planning to steal a coin collection by watching the HBO series "The Wire."
Although the dramas are 30 years a part, both deal with the underbelly of life, the need to make a buck, and include dialogue spiced with lots of four-letter words.
Mamet, however, plays the English language like a musical instrument with lots of repetitions, staccato notes and thrilling runs as his fast-paced drama unfolds.
James Carpenter brings a nervous, desperate energy to Teach, whose arrogance dooms the enterprise, while Paul O'Connor adds a grounding influence as the junk store owner Donny, and Rafael Jordan — as the more naive Bobbie — conveys the need to please and be part of a family.
Eric Sinkkonen turns the Aurora's intimate space into a realistic junk/pawnshop complete with bicycle tires, snowshoes and old tools hanging from the ceiling and a toilet bowl filled with umbrellas in the corner.
Costume designer Cassandra Carpenter captures 1970s fashions right down to the cheap leisure suit worn by Teach.
For tickets, call 510-843-4822 or go to www.auroratheatre.org.
Monty Python fans can get their fix at El Cerrito's Contra Costa Civic Theatre where "Spamalot" plays through July 13.
Michael Ross directs this crazy retelling of the King Arthur legend that includes killer rabbits, flying cows and so much more.
For tickets, call 510-524-9132 or go to www.ccct.org.
The company is also planning a reunion for anyone who has attended its drama camp since its inception 25 years ago.
Staff, campers, family and friends are invited to a day of fun, memories, games, improv and videos of past camps from 1 to 5 p.m. Aug. 2. Call the theater for more information.
Congratulations to Miramonte student Elijah Stavena who recently released his new song "Kids Will Be Kids," which deals with bullying and a lot more.
The young talent starred in a locally produced film "Too Perfect" several years ago that debuted at the Orinda Theatre before turning his attention to music.
Contact Sally Hogarty at firstname.lastname@example.com.
