"SBI has opened many doors to the business world for me, which I would not have access to if I had not enrolled. As a senior, applying for jobs is a crucial component of my final year at Villanova. Many potential employers have commented on the impressiveness of the SBI curriculum. The program has been beneficial in interviews to discuss as well as getting second interviews with companies."
Shannon Walsh, A&S Communication '13, SBI '12
"I cannot overstate the importance of developing a well-rounded academic portfolio before entering the professional world. Coming from a liberal arts college with a political science major straight on to law school, my interactions with the business world were very sheltered prior to attending SBI. SBI's 10 weeks were the most informative 10 weeks of my life . . . as a result, I walked away with information that made me a more confident law student, investor, and citizen."

Image Capture not working anymore
by Kris Hunt - 9/6/09 6:42 PM
I use Image Capture to get photos off my Canon XSi. Lately, it hasn't been working. Image Capture shows 26 CR2 icons, but won't show their thumbnail previews. It won't download them, and I can't delete them, either. It also won't recognize any new photos I've taken with the camera. The only thing I've done recently that might have caused this is I installed a new scanner (Epson V300). Any ideas?

On a typical day on Facebook, it can seem like almost everyone's a profound philosopher. As one views one status to the next, people offer some great advice. What's ironic about the advice many people give via their Facebook status is they don't follow it themselves. If you're not going to adhere to your own advice, what makes you think others will be convinced to do it? For one to live a purposeful life, you need to live those things you write on your Facebook status. Now, many people compose so much foolishness on their Facebook status that I wouldn't recommend them to live like their status reads. This piece is not about those who frequently pen ridiculous things on their Facebook status. You will be addressed on another day with a different and essential message.
This piece is focused on those people who compose one thing on their Facebook status, but don't put into practice those things they promulgate.
Before you press the "post" button on your Facebook status, make sure the advice you're presenting to your friends is grounded in truth. What I mean by "grounded in truth" (in this instance) is make sure you provide for people a living example of what you're communicating to them, so that they can focus on the quality of what you have to say and not on the inconsistency of your message with the way you live. If your advice is good enough for you to submit to others, then it must be good enough for you to heed too. Now, if what you're writing on your Facebook status is a form of personal narrative therapy where you write things you hope to follow, then one will have to forgive you for not following your own advice.
Most people who are penning these "profound" Facebook statuses are not engaging in personal narrative therapy, however. Many people who offer these "deep philosophical" statuses desire to draw attention to themselves to ameliorate their low or problematic self-esteem. The dominant motivation for the advice they offer, therefore, is not really about the advice itself, but about using the power of that advice to put the focus on themselves. Now, many will say that "it's my status" and "of course, I want to draw attention to myself, which is the reason I wrote it." My response to them is to be transparent about what you're doing then. Don't have people thinking you're giving them sound advice that emerges from your lived experience. Let them know that what you're saying just sounds good and you thought it would make you look good and gain you many "likes" on your Facebook status.
You may fool many people with the things you write on your Facebook statuses, but there are many others who can see the real motivations, ironies, and incongruities in your statements.
For those of you who like to send messages to specific individuals through your statuses, how about drafting them a brief email, giving them a quick telephone call, and/or visiting them at their domicile instead? Those third person statuses can be destructive to relationships. It's not like you're fooling anyone. Don't be so arrogant to think you're so full of "wisdom" that people cannot recognize when you're referring to them via your Facebook status. The least you could do is "tag" any person you compose a status about, especially since you're so "courageous" enough to post a status about him or her.
All great philosophers take their own advice first. They share the wisdom of that advice from what their experience with it has taught them. Use your own Facebook statuses before you publish them for others.

Slide Show: Cold-Hardy Yuccas for Portland Gardens
Posted Oct 26, 2011, 12:00pm
Succulents are hot-hot-hot – but not all of them can take the cold.
Yuccas are just one of many kinds of succulents, but among their ranks are some of the hardiest and most handsome succulents that can grow in Portland gardens. In fact, there are some sixty species and subspecies, plus dozens of cultivars, that happily thrive in our climate – and most of them also flourish in climates even colder than ours. While most yuccas are native to the southwestern US and...

Open Enrollment For Healthcare Reform Summit In Philadelphia
Open enrollment on October 1, 2013. Coverage starts as soon as January 1, 2014.
Arizona (I-Newswire) September 2, 2013 - Open enrollment starts October 1, 2013. What is the Health Insurance Marketplace offered by the Goverment and can it help you?
Marketplaces are a new way to find health coverage to meet your needs. Apparently with one application, you can explore all your options and even enroll. With the Health Insurance Marketplace, youll see all of the health plans available in your area to which will enable you to compare costs and monthly premiums for private insurance plans.Appling for Marketplace coverage is available three different ways: online, mail, or in-person. Telephone help and online chat will be available 24/7 to help you complete your application. Open enrollment starts October 1, 2013. Coverage may start as soon as January 1, 2014.
Important: Insurance plans in the Marketplace are offered by private companies. Under the law plans cant turn you away or charge you more because you have an illness or medical condition. They must cover treatments for these conditions. Plans cant discriminate or charge women more than men. Market Places are slated to be available in each state. A Marketplace is run by either your state or the federal government. Therefore information will be available through each states website.Ideally, the Marketplace will simplify searches for health coverage by making the options available in one place for your area.
2013 Philadelphia Healthcare Reform Expo & Summit will be a historic meeting of providers, public servants and private industry. A percentage of the proceeds from the Summit will be donated to the community. The Healthcare Expo is formulated to educate individuals, employees, businesses and healthcare professionals about the Patient Accountability and Affordable Care Act. The following professionals will be participating: Healthcare Professionals - Physicians, Care Providers & Administrators; Top-level researchers & members of the scientific community; Pharmaceutical executives and representatives and executives and representatives from the health care system.We hope to open ongoing dialogue that will bridge the divide between the perceptions and realities that will soon impact healthcare, a situation complicated by social-economic and environmental factors. While employer mandate may have been delayed , other changes under the Patient Accountability and Affordable Care Act could be critical to your understanding. The mission of the Summit is to provide a venue for forming partnerships that will actively inform and change health behaviors from reactive to proactive and move healthcare delivery from acute to preventative. The Summit will focus on understanding the new laws and how each demographic can make the best decisions on managing healthcare costs.

Ladies, a quick poll: Do you pack for The Man In Your Life? Let's say you two were heading off for a few weeks' vacation somewhere. You know how to pack for yourself, of course. You know what you need to take and what you can leave, how many pairs of underwear, how many sweaters, and how many of the assorted ladythings you ladies need.
But do you trust him to be as good of a packer? Do you want to peek in that bag before it gets loaded on to the plane, just to make sure? Or would you just feel better doing the packing yourself?
My wife, baby and I just returned from a three-week trip to Ireland. There were the usual stresses involved in with travelling with an infant: a few terse, sweaty moments trying to collapse a stroller to feed it through an x-ray machine and concern that the baby's crying would disrupt my ability to watch the end of The Descendants. Serious stuff.
But the stress began earlier, before we even left. You see, my wife was worried I wasn't going to pack enough, not to mention pack correctly. She'd check in every day leading up to the trip, asking how the packing was coming along, wanting to know if I had packed this thing or that thing, even offering to take over folding when she deemed my folding to be sub-par. Eventually, she let me pack in peace — but I could tell it worried her.
Of course, she had reason to worry. There's nothing anyone is capable of packing that I'm not capable of forgetting to pack. I've gone to weddings without cufflinks, without a belt, without socks. I've gone to cottages without a bathing suit. While I was annoyed by the constant checking-in, I can understand why she'd want to audit the packing process.
A highly scientific poll conducted during our trip reveals that wives/girlfriends handling packing duties is more common than I ever suspected. One cousin does all the packing for her husband, who couldn't be more grateful. It's one less thing for him to worry about, and he knows his wife will think of everything.
Another friend lays out all the things she thinks he'll need and he gives it a once-over before signing off. It helps that she comes from a long line of packers: her mother has always packed for her father. As the legend goes: Before a weeklong camping trip, the father put his foot down and insisted that he pack himself. His wife gladly agreed and left him to it, only to discover at the campsite that her husband neglected to pack underwear, any underwear. For one week.
Well, I managed to pack for three weeks without forgetting underwear or anything else vital. I'll admit, though, that knowing I was under watch probably prompted me to be a bit more careful in what I put in my suitcase. Which means her little plan worked.

PCC Posts Draft of Key Report Online
July 3, 2013
Pima Community College is inviting the public to read the draft report that represents a milestone for PCC as it emerges from probation.
A draft of the Monitoring Report to the Higher Learning Commission, the College's accreditor, is available to read on the PCC website. The College accepted comments on the draft report from the public, employees and students through Sunday, July 14.
The Monitoring Report outlines PCC's plan to conform with HLC practices relating to complaints and grievance procedures, and to faculty oversight of curriculum. Submitting the report by August 1 is one of the steps the HLC directed PCC to undertake when it placed the College in probation in April.

Fuck she's pretty.
(Source: misspinkfloyd)
The girl on the left is named Maddy. She's beautiful, isn't she? She's also amazingly beautiful on the inside. On Friday night (June 8th), Maddy had a horrible migraine. A few hours later she began throwing up. Around 3:30 AM her eyes rolled back in her head and her family rushed her to the hospital. She was in surgery from 4:30 AM to 8:30. It turns out she had brain damage when she was little that the doctors weren't aware of until last night. Her brain was bleeding internally. The doctors told her family that she was lucky to even have made it to the hospital because most people don't even make it that far. She was put into an induced coma for about 2 or 3 days. The doctors said that she had a very good chance of recovery. Maddy is only fourteen years old.
Last night, around 1 AM, something went wrong. She became unstable and the doctors told us that her condition was worse. She was stabilized a few hours later, but everyone was left scared out of their minds. They still told us that she had a good chance of recovery.
I was just informed (its noon on the 10th) that she is expected to pass away within the next 24 hours because they cannot stop the bleeding in her brain. However, I believe in miracles. I used to make fun of people who posted these kinds of things on Tumblr. However, I see why they do that now. I believe that if many people pray, it will have an impact. Collective prayer, its called. Im asking everyone who sees this to pray for Maddy and her family. We all love her and I believe that she can get better. I cannot imagine what would happen if we lost her. She is an amazing person. If you see this post, Im asking you to please pray for Maddy. I want the word to be spread, so if you feel that this will not ruin your blog, please reblog. If you don't want to reblog it, please like it so that I can show Maddy how many people prayed for her when she gets better. She WILL get better. We need her to.
MY FOLLOWERS BETTER REBLOG THIS. praying for maddy <3
Oh my goodness. Her and her family and friends are definitely in my prayers.

text: By Lori Castle, Editor in Chief and Gerard Longo, Assistant Editor Sales of the iPhone5 could "potentially add between a quarter - to a half-percentage-point to fourth-quarter annualized GDP growth" according to a research statement from Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist JP Morgan. That equates to about 8 million devices being sold. Aside from the obvious fact that if 8 million consumers carry iPhone5's in their pocket, they will be carrying it into work as well, what else about the new smartphone will affect the enterprise? Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing Philip Schiller emphasized the devices consumer appeal several times during the event. This could be a slight to business considering the penetration of iOS in the enterprise, but it's not surprising because Apple doesn't really market to the business. Schiller said, "iPhone 5 is the most beautiful consumer device that we've ever created. "We've packed an amazing amount of innovation and advanced technology into a thin and light, jewel-like device with a stunning 4-inch Retina display, blazing fast A6 chip, ultrafast wireless, even longer battery life; and we think customers are going to love it." In an interview with All Things D, he also commented on the lack of NFC capabilities, which could have certainly had enterprise use. "It's not clear that NFC is the solution to any current problem," Schiller said. Consumerization of IT Perhaps, Schiller's comments could also be considered acknowledgement on the part of Apple that the consumer is ruling IT anyway and will dictate which devices are used. In the September/October issue of Mobile Enterprise magazine, Gene Signorini, then an analyst with Yankee Group wrote: "It appears that nothing can slow Apple down, and unless the company makes a significant misstep with the next iPhone release (and it truly would have to be a disaster for it to be a misstep), it's likely that iOS will continue its inroads into enterprise acceptance." Certainly, while there were no surprises, there were no missteps either with the release today, but no "a ha" moment for the enterprise either. Now, VP of Mobile Insights for Mobiquity, Signorini says, "There was nothing earth-shattering coming out of Apple's iPhone 5 launch, nor anything that various bloggers, analysts and commentators didn't predict in one form or another. Does this mean that Apple is losing its touch, or that it's getting more and more difficult to introduce groundbreaking features to the smartphone? The latter is closer to the truth, as the market moves to more evolutionary versus revolutionary advances." Where's the mini? Noticeably absent, and the device that would indeed have more ramifications for the enterprise was the rumored iPad mini. Gadgetites, bloggers and other industry experts now point to October for a possible launch. This may give the enterprise more time to prepare as Sam Lakkundi, Kony's Chief Mobile Officer points out. "With the iPad mini still anticipated for 2012, it serves as a reminder that we will continue to see mobile chaos in the enterprise. As new devices are constantly brought to market, companies should be thinking about strong BYOD policies." Overall, Signorini says, the pace of change and innovation is still amazing and believes Apple will still sell millions of iPhone 5's, and in relatively short order, "a credit to the ecosystem they have created around their devices, apps, and content." Specs Billed as faster, thinner, and prettier, here's a rundown of features. In general, the new iPhone features a 4-inch Retina display, an A6 processing chip, several connectivity options and improved battery life. The device also comes with the iOS 6 operating system. Size and Appearance: The device is thin with a 7.6 mm anodized aluminum body, making it 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter than the iPhone 4S. The 326 ppi Retina display delivers more pixels than the phone's predecessor and is taller, but not wider, than previous models for easy navigation and typing. Connectivity: The device's 4G LTE capabilities expand to Sprint, AT&T and Verizon in the United States and can transfer data at up to 100 Mbps. Additionally, the device has several other connectivity options, including HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA. To support LTE technology, Apple has established a single-radio LTE solution, and also features dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi support for data transfer of up to 150 Mbps. Performance: The new A6 chip was designed by Apple to maximize performance and power efficiency of the iPhone 5. Pages, apps and downloads are launched and delivered to users faster than with the A5 chip while giving them up to 8 hours of LTE browsing. As noted, the device comes with iOS 6 and over 200 new user features, including an all new "Maps" app with cartography, turn-by-turn navigation and "flyover" view. Staying in touch and organized is expected to be easier for enterprise users with features like a five-day calendar view, Facebook integration for user contacts and calendar, and a Passbook application to keep items, boarding passes and hotel reservations in a place where they can be accessed easily. Other features include:

Geraint Bater: "We're not getting carried away."
11:38am Wednesday 25th September 2013 in Somerset Sport
BRIDGWATER Town player/coach Geraint Bater insists his side are not getting carried away, after the Robins went top of The Calor League One South & West League Table with an impressive 2-0 victory over high-flying Paulton Rovers.
Joe Bushin continued his red-hot goalscoring form with both of Bridgwater's goals in a dominant first half, to take his tally to nine league goals already this season.
Bater, who followed Richard Fey to Fairfax Park at the beginning of the season, was full of praise for his side, but says they are not looking too far ahead.
He said: "You don't win anything in September, but the boys are playing really well at the moment and the atmosphere is great. It's great to see the crowds flocking back to Bridgwater and we are hoping for a big following at the FA Cup game on Saturday.
"We will lose at some point, but at the moment we are just taking each game as it comes.
For Bater, the most pleasing aspect of Tuesday night's win was keeping a clean sheet against a side who have amassed an impressive 30 goals already this season.
He said: "To keep a clean sheet tonight speaks volumes for the performance - I thought our back four were magnificent. They (Paulton) have been scoring goals for fun so far this season, so we're really pleased to keep a clean sheet.
But as well as a clean sheet, Bater was also keen to praise the Robin's goal-machine, Bushin.
He said: "The lad is just a natural finisher - he only needs two chances to score a goal and at this level, it normally takes a player three or four chances.
"He's in great form and he's a good lad to have in the changing rooms, his attitude is spot-on."
Bridgwater Town travel to Bristol Manor Farm on Saturday in the second qualifying round of the FA CUP (KO 3pm).

Obviously if Bridgy get a run in the cup this exposure will help boost crowds and being top of the league is also a great help.

Release Date: March 20
Director: Alex Proyas

Cinematographer: Simon Duggan
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Chandler Canterbury, Rose Byrne, D.G. Maloney
Studio/Run Time: Summit, 122 mins.
Another day, another apocalypse
Toward the end of Knowing, the hyper new sci-fi parable, wide-eyed star Nic Cage wails, "How am I supposed to stop the end of the world?" At this point, the movie has hurtled through so many breathless sequences of disaster violence that the plot has virtually shut down, but still, it's a fair question. And in one of the only moments of real verve, the movie comes up with an unlikely answer: Sorry, Nic, but you don't.
To be fair, by the final scenes, it's reasonably clear what the numbers mean and what will happen to the characters. The movie does not cop out. In fact, on their own, those final three or four minutes (set, amusingly, to Beethoven's seventh symphony) have a serene beauty, as if they belong to a movie a lot more imaginative—hell, a lot more fun—than Knowing. But they do not, and instead the movie trades occasional moments of inspiration for obvious allegory and second-hand action sequences that shoot for stark seriousness but can barely pass for pop spectacle.
Directed by Alex Proyas, who used to make moves like The Crow, the film is perhaps not as worthy of scorn as others of its tired apocalyptic brethren. It makes a sincere attempt to engage actual ideas, and it even cooks up a clever explanation for the plot's contrivances through a transparent bit about determinism and randomness (yes, really). But in truth, Proyas, a capable and even inventive director when he's in the mood, never finds a way to pull together the many errant strands of this story into something that even resembles a complete experience. By the time the movie reveals all its secrets, there won't be a person left in the house who can keep a straight face.
Watch the trailer for Knowing:

southern coldness and northern charm
I bet I'll stoke some anger with this post, but I'm going to attempt to bust some stereotypes here.
Do you remember how in the immediate aftermath of September 11th there were only limited reports of looting? And do you remember the stories of how New York City neighbors who had never before said a word to each other were coming together in a crisis?
Contrast that with this story out of New Orleans from WKRN:
One man, who had about 10 pairs of jeans draped over his left arm, was asked if he was salvaging things from his store.
"No," the man shouted, "that's EVERYBODY'S store."
Looters filled industrial-sized garbage cans with clothing and jewelry and floated them down the street on bits of plywood and insulation as National Guard lumbered by.
Mike Franklin stood on the trolley tracks and watched the spectacle unfold.
"To be honest with you, people who are oppressed all their lives, man, it's an opportunity to get back at society," he said.
Now which city is the town of Northern coldness, and which one has Southern gentility?

August 30th, 2005 at 4:22 pmI've never really considered New Orleans a nice city…especially in the Southern sense.
Bob K Says:
August 30th, 2005 at 4:53 pmBlake,
I think you're right about N.O. I'd like to think that Nashville would weather a crisis at least as well as NYC did.
Let's hope we never have to find out.
Terry Says:
September 1st, 2005 at 7:05 amInteresting how the looters were justifying their actions by making statements like "it's only fair after years of oppression."
Should we be suprised that the reparations argument and bitter rhetoric of Sharpton and Jackson should trickle down to the streets of New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina?
We're all Americans–black, white, yellow–whatever our color or origin. The politics of blaming others is yielding fruit in those that today seek to loot weapons, pills, and dvds instead of helping to find, rescue, and assist fellow people in need in the waters and debris of Katrina.
I don't think Northern "coldness" vs. Southern "coldness" is the right perspective.
Bob K Says:
September 1st, 2005 at 8:26 amTerry, I think you're right about the causal link between the bitter rhetoric of victimization and the unfolding terror of New Orleans.

November 1st, 2012 at 11:53 amOn the other hand, reports of looting post-Sandy are beginning to leak out:

What Indiana's New Voucher Rules Mean For Students & For The Program's Future
The new guidelines make it easier for certain students to receive a voucher, prompting voucher advocates to predict the program's participation will grow.
The new guidelines make it easier for certain students to receive a voucher, prompting voucher advocates to predict the program's participation will grow.
We do some back-of-the-napkin calculations and try to make the "indeterminable"… somewhat less indeterminable.
Voucher advocates say the state's program must do more than fill private school seats — it must create new seats.
The House Education Committee voted in favor of a proposal to increase the number of students eligible to receive state vouchers to attend private school.
Proposed legislation would increase the number of students eligible for vouchers to attend Indiana private schools. HB 1003 would also increase how much each voucher is worth from $4,500 to $6,500.
Ten years ago Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling laying the groundwork for voucher programs nationwide.
The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend is ending the practice of offering referral incentives, in light of the state voucher program. Public schools feel the practice was "unethical."
A Marion County judge rejected a legal challenge Friday to Indiana's expansive private school voucher program, as the Associated Press reports: Marion Superior Court Judge Michael Keele said the School Choice Scholarship program doesn't violate the state constitution because the state isn't directly funding parochial schools. Instead, it gives scholarship vouchers to parents, who can [...]
Much of the controversy around school vouchers has focused on the religious nature of many private schools taking part in the program. And it's true. About 98 percent of all voucher schools are Christian schools. But we decided to look at vouchers from a different angle. How well are these schools performing on the state's [...]
Nearly 4,000 Indiana students take part in the state's voucher program. This system is currently being challenged in court. The Indiana State Teachers Association is claiming that vouchers are being used to fund religious schools and religious teaching. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett has defended the program. We continue our series on school vouchers [...]

Obesity treatment could start with the better education of the nation's children, a leading health expert has suggested. Dr Dean Marshall, chairman of the British Medical Association's (BMA) Scottish general practitioner's committee, has said that by educating children from an early age, obesity in later life could be prevented. The doctor said: "What we are suggesting is that we have much more focus on children, ensuring that they have the right lifestyle information and don't actually end up obese." He added that in the committee's view, prevention can be just as beneficial as a cure, "if not better". The health risks associated with obesity range from cardiovascular disease to diabetes. According to the BMA's report, more then 40 people a day are diagnosed with diabetes in Scotland. These numbers hint at the wider damage which can be caused by the condition. Between 1995 and 2006, obesity-related death rates rose by an average of 7.5 per cent for British men. Since then, the health problem has continued to pose major concerns as nearly a quarter of all men and women in the UK are classified as obese.

Seven health-care sites in Western New York received drugs from the Massachusetts compounding pharmacy at the center of a national meningitis epidemic.
None of the local sites, however, received the steroids implicated in the outbreak.
The state Department of Health Thursday posted a list online of every facility in New York that received products of any kind from New England Compounding Center (NECC). Steroid drugs from NECC have been linked to a nationwide outbreak of fungal meningitis.
Locally, the following health-care centers received shipments from the company: Ambulatory Surgery Center of WNY in Amherst; Eye Health Associates in Williamsville; Seneca Eye Surgeons in Jamestown; Erie County Medical Center, Mercy Hospital of Buffalo, Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital and the VA Medical Center in Buffalo.
Earlier this month, the NECC issued a recall on all of its products as a precautionary measure. The list posted online includes companies that received products of any kind from NECC. Both the company names, and the products they received, are listed on the DOH advisory, which can be found here.
The DOH is coordinating with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) on a multistate investigation of meningitis among patients who may have been exposed to contaminated products from the company.
Nationwide, 54 individuals nationwide had been diagnosed with fungal meningitis, with 24 people dying from the disease. The CDC has confirmed fungal infections in a total of 317 people. A total of 14,000 people around the country had received injections of the steroid medicines affected by NECC.
In New York, so far a Long Island resident has been the only person identified with a case of septic arthritis associated with recalled products from NECC. There are no confirmed or suspected cases of fungal meningitis in New York state, the DOH said.
Three sites in New York State received shipments of the implicated steroids, including sites in Rochester, Mount Vernon and Rochester.

The Valdez ( Oriental N) is supposedly being run aground in Alang for scrapping today.
Did you guys not read the really important news on the gcaptain link?? Who cares about the Valdez? The Pacific Princess is getting scrapped!

The deepwater Port of Brownsville lies inland at the end of a 17-mile channel connecting to the Gulf of Mexico. The long channel provides unparalleled protection from hurricanes and tropical storms.
In the past two decades, the city has become the center of the U.S. ship-recycling industry. Five of the nation's eight recycling companies are here. It's like Home Depot locating right next to Lowe's and Ace Hardware.
Tearing up big ships can be a lucrative business. It's also a messy one. Walk inside a ship that's being scrapped, and you'll find one of the nastiest places imaginable: filthy and rusty, with everything that's poisonous and salvageable torn out.
Perhaps, but we do what we can.. In addition to permanently crossing any station with the word "Exxon" off my list of possibles all those years ago, I choose (have, for the last 15..18 years or so) to buy petrol only at non-badged outlets. IE, in addition to Exxon, Mobile, Shell etc are _also_ off limits. I may need fuel to live & work in this country, but I can make sure my purchases help other than just those who least deserve the 'help'.
To those who ask "what good does this do", I answer - the whole thing is an exercise in continuing to be aware of my actions.. the what, & the why - on a personal level. What 'good' does that do? It helps me - & just as Mitt is sure that what helps him, helps the world, so, too, am I sure that what helps me, helps the world.. ;-)

Profits to India, payroll to Mexico (Guatemala, etc..).. money from U.S taxes (cutting of military ships) & all based on rules Conservatives (Go Mitt!) love so well.. Welcome to the decline of America.. brought to you by 'investors' everywhere..Bay Bridge Texas is the nation's newest ship-recycling yard, says senior Vice President Barry Chambers. The company, backed by Indian investors with deep pockets, just moved to Brownsville from Chesapeake, Va.
Chambers says he moved from Virginia to Texas not just for the warm weather and infrastructural perks, but also for the labor pool. He pays between $10 and $13 an hour for the recycling work.
"The Hispanic workforce that I found here is excellent," Chambers says. "It's attitude more than anything. Every day here is different. This is not an assembly line job, and everyday you have to use your wits."
As for 'attitude', the U.S. indoctrinational system cranks out factory fodder.. er, workers.. & we are surprised at their limitations? Bizarre!
Ship breaking is a horrendous, nightmarish occupation. I'd recommend watching a National Film Board of Canada documentary called Shipbreakers. If any industry desperately needed cleaning up, it would be this one.
In the Google Maps return for Alang I was able to count 146 ships on the beach, many looking like this.
In Bangladesh, 25% of the ship breaking workers are between 12 and 17 years of age, working for 12 hours a day for $0.22 to $0.32 cents per hour...
It's criminal in every sense of the word.

Nosce te ipsum
I wrote this back in the twentieth century:
OH dear! The one thing that shipowners and their bankers have been able to count on since the dugout canoe - namely that, if you cannot find anything at all to do with your ship, you can at least sell her for breaking up - now seems to be at risk, thanks to the Basle Convention
Now, this is a quite admirable little convention, which in essence says that people in rich countries should not dump their hazardous and noxious rubbish on people in poor countries.
It probably is not going to go away any time soon.
It is worrying people from bankers to class societies. The time-honoured reaction of almost everyone in the shipowning business, confronted with this sort of interference in Our Way of Life by do-gooding busybodies, is as follows:-
1. Express outrage.
2. Find a way round it.
This approach was well exemplified by the British shipowner of the last century who, having fought mightily, but unsucessfully, against Mr Plimsoll's line, found a loophole in the law and painted the loadline on the funnel.
Being, like most shipping people, a traditionalist, I will now offer you a suitable expression of outrage, followed by the way round it.
Outrage first. I am sure we are all distressed to learn that P&O Nedlloyd have had the effrontery to sell a ship for breaking up without having their unwanted object throughly decontaminated first, and that they have thereby condemned some hundreds of scrapyard workers to the possibility of badly paid, dirty and dangerous employment, with the contingent risks of asbestosis, lead poisoning, isocyanate toxicity, industrial deafness, vibration white finger and post traumatic stress disorder.
I am deeply shocked, myself, just as I was when this company's predecessor, OCL, sold a ship bearing the immortal name of Jervis Bay for breaking up and did not insist on renaming her as a term of the sale, so that when she broke her tow in the Bay of Biscay and had to be salvaged, the whole of maritime Britain felt embarrassed.
They simply have not got a clue about how to do these things. This is probably because most of their ships are neither old enough nor clapped out enough to require scrapping, so they lack practical experience.
Now, here is some simple, free, advice for Messrs Harris, Woods & Co. In future, please do as others, more experienced in these matters, do;
like this:-
1. Ring your broker and tell him that you want to sell the ship for further trading, on 'simple terms'. If he is up to his job, he will understand you to mean that you want to sell the ship to a scrap speculator.
Curiously, most of these gentlemen live in London anyway, although they seldom like to hog the limelight.
2. The buyer will then ring his lawyers and buy a Liberian shelf company on bearer shares.
3. You sell the ship to the new company. One of the 'simple terms' is that the ship's name and funnel marks are changed. You have now sold a viable, trading, ship, with certificates for at least another week, from your high profile company in the OECD to an obscure company in an African nation outside the OECD. You have not breached the Basle Convention.
4. The speculator then does what he is best at, which is to sell the ship for breaking.
All these functions can be carried out, by experts of high professional standing, within half a mile of your office doors. That is why London is a shipping centre.
The ship will still end up in India, she will still get broken up, and the breakers' workforce will not be out of employment. The Basle Convention, on the other hand, will have been observed precisely.
That disposes, I think, of the legalities of the situation, as everyone in the industry, except the most righteous and PR-sensitive of liner shipowners, knew in the first place.
And there is not much that environment commissioner Bjerregard and environment minister Pronk and the assembled hordes of Greenpeace can do about it.
We still have to deal with the moralities of the matter. Legality and morality in shipping can get a bit mixed up at times, as in the case of the master in the triangular trade who missed Jamaica, got a sight, realised his mistake, threw part of the cargo over the side to save water and beat back to Jamaica, where he declared general average. (Today, ofcourse, no self respecting cargo underwriter would fall for that 'crew negligence' line; he would have to claim on his club). The resulting outburst of morality was rather spectacular, resulting in one of the very few genuine and lasting improvements in the way humans treat each other.
"It is immoral" (I quote Mr Jayaraman of Greenpeace) "that western companies dump their hazardous waste in the form of obsolete ships on Asia..." Well, Asia is a big place. As Greenpeace may not know, 40% of the world fleet, which will no doubt require scrapping in due course, is owned in Asia.
Can I reassure their owners that they are ipso facto more moral than their European counterparts and will be allowed to scrap their ships?
While this may not be quite as satisfying for them as a rise in Biffex, a nice warm glow of righteousness may be the next best thing, certainly if their bankers are worrying over residual values.
Until recently one of the sights of Manila, close to the North Harbour, was a place called Smoky Mountain. It was the municipal rubbish dump, with some thousands of people living off it, and indeed living in it.
Cruiseships used to berth near the Manila Hotel, where the disembarked blue rinses would take afternoon tea with cucumber sandwiches, followed by a short cab ride to aid their digestion within the sight of Third World squalor at its worst.
President Ramos closed it, and rehoused the people who lived there. But not before several thousand people who did not, but who knew a gravy train when they saw one, claimed, with the support of sundry do-gooders, that they lived there too.
Unfortunately for them, the government, not being entirely stupid, had taken a census before announcing the redevelopment.
It was a Filipino friend, neither wealthy nor environmentally unsound, who pointed out to me that people lived in Smoky Mountain because life was better there than where they came from.
It is just possible that Indian shipbreaking workers, who presumably, like Filipino rubbish dwellers, are rational and make rational choices, do the work because that is better than not doing it.
It is possible that they are put at risk, not because of the wickedness of shipowners, but because of the low level of technology available in the Indian breaking industry.
This is unlike the high-tech Taiwanese shipbreakers of a few years ago, whose employers put rather more capital into the process.
And that this in turn is not unconnected with the low level of wages in India, which it is rather hard to blame shipowners for. Dare we suggest that the fault might lie instead with the Hindu rate of growth, which might berather faster if less time were spent on testing nuclear weapons .
My friend also defined 'aid' as "money given by poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries."
The more I think about that, the truer it gets.
She's aground
Hopefully it'll be recycled into an improved power grid for India, once they get the political part figured out.
Glad you enjoyed it too, Jeff..

Personally i like the Immortal a lot since it is very easy to run over any civ in the Ancient ages. Although with PTW, it is a little difficult to defeat Carthage and Greeks.

I like Impi and jaguar warrior a lot. They're cheap and pretty effective when built in large numbers. Other than that, I like the legionaire and the panzer.

My Ancestors were Vikings
I like the Panzer and the Impi, I thought the Berserk would come in handy but I played a game as the Vikings once and by the time I got the berserk calvary was right around the corner.
So I didn't find much use for them

Hoplite and Celtic Warrior.
Hoplite allows a defensive/pillage war against anyone (except maybe Immortals), and this leads to the downfall of the offensive civ. Celtic Warrior the movement/retreat abilities are awesome. Great at attack/defence/pillage you name it they do it. A bit expensive but 5 are enough to take down a whole other civ. |

I like those offensive UUs, not too early (so as not to trigger a wasteful GA in the really early ages). Like riders, samurai etc. But not too late either.
I fail to see much use in defensive UUs, really pointless unless you're under heavy attk all the time... Esp as in the upped attk of a defender unit (like the French UU). And if you're under attk all the time, something's wrong with your gameplay anyways. |

Jag warriors, every time. After that I'd say my favourites are the Immortals, Riders and Samurai, since all three give a real edge to the aggressive warmongering style of play that I prefer. Nothing beats a super early Jag swarm though
