By C. Bryson Hull
COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lanka's political will and military planning will defeat the Tamil Tiger rebels, a legislator who fought with the guerrillas for more than two decades said on Thursday.
Ex-Tiger commander Vinayagamoorthi Muralitharan last month metamorphosed from ruthless guerrilla into parliamentarian and de facto spokesman for President Mahinda Rajapaksa's plan to devolve power to the Tamil minority.
Just four months ago, the man best known by his nom de guerre Col. Karuna Amman was released from a British jail on visa fraud charges and narrowly escaped prosecution for war crimes stemming from his years as the Tigers' top battlefield commander.
Now, he appears in local newspapers and magazines, bedecked in sharp suits flashing a wide grin, insisting that he be called Murali, his name during his schoolboy days.
In an interview with Reuters at a safe house in the capital Colombo surrounded by elite army commandos, Muralitharan said his former comrades and erstwhile mentor, LTTE leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran, are close to defeat.
"He has no future," Muralitharan, also known as Colonel Karuna, told Reuters in an interview. "He has a totalitarian policy. He never changed from that policy. He thinks like a duke, like a king. He never accepted any other idea.
"Since 1983, Prabhakaran has led the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in their fight for a separate state for Sri Lanka's minority Tamils, who complain of marginalisation by governments led by the Sinhalese ethnic majority since 1948 independence from Britain.
From 1983 until 2004, Muralitharan was one of Prabhakaran's closest deputies. For most of that time he led 6,000 fighters in the LTTE's eastern command -- among the most battle-hardened and effective in the feared guerrilla outfit.
But he split with Prabhakaran in 2004 and took his fighters to the government side, establishing the Tamil Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal (TMVP) party and putting himself at the top of the Tigers' hit list.
policy demands death for defectors and the government is taking no chances with his safety.
Power went out during the interview, and when Muralitharan ushered a reporter out to the garden to wait for it to return, a dozen soldiers raced to guarding positions around the yard. At least four clustered around him as pulled up chairs to sit.
Muralitharan believes the key to the army's battlefield successes this time has been the power granted to the military.
"All plans were made by political leaders at the time. The army had no influence," he said. "Now our president gave a lot of power to them, at the same time Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa had a very good plan.
"Rajapaksa, the president's brother, is a career military officer and had faced the LTTE in combat, with the present army commander, Lt. Gen. Sarath Fonseka, fighting on his flank.
"That plan is being implemented very well by Sarath Fonseka," he said. "That's why they are getting better at the battlefront now. They have captured a lot of areas. At any minute they will capture Kilinochchi.
"That is the LTTE's defacto capital and a strategic and symbolic target for Rajapaksa's government, which threw out a 2002 ceasefire in January and declared it would destroy the rebels once and for all.
Muralitharan, most analysts say, has been one of the chief reasons for the military's progress, since his fighters helped the army swiftly seize huge rebel-held areas in the east in 2007. Since then, the army has recaptured much of the rebel-held north.
His reward for that was a parliamentary seat, after his TMVP won eastern provincial elections in May. Rights groups, however, have criticised his appointment.
Rajapaksa has pledged a similar devolution plan for the north, once the LTTE is defeated.
Muralitharan insists he does not advise the military: "Particularly because they don't need my advice.
"But his deep strategic knowledge is amply evident.
From memory, he quickly sketched a map of the war zone and its roads on a reporter's notepad, and explained how the army would sweep the Tigers out of Kilinochchi and corner them at the eastern port of Mullaitivu. He declined to predict a timeframe.
"Nobody can set any deadline for the war," he said.

Facility History
Carondelet Park Rec Complex History
In 2006 a 1/8 sales tax increase was passed by St. Louis City voters to construct two family recreational facilities within the City of St. Louis. Construction began on the southside project in 2008. The YMCA of Greater St. Louis was chosen as the facility operator. On November 19, 2009, the Carondelet Park Rec Complex opened its doors for the first time to welcome the Carondelet community into the 76,000 square foot facility. The facility was built by and is owned by the City of St. Louis Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry and is operated by the YMCA of Greater St. Louis.
In May of 2010, the Carondelet Park Rec Complex opened the gates to the new outdoor waterpark, the only waterpark in the St. Louis city limits. On May 27, 2010, Mayor Francis Slay, local aldermen and the YMCA of Greater St. Louis held a ceremonial ribbon cutting and welcomed the first swimmers into the pool. The pool opened to the public on May 29, 2010.
Carondelet Family YMCA History
Designed for the Carondelet Community
In January, 1919, Theodore Pletcher and his friends set out to establish a YMCA for the Carondelet Community. Their concern was in being able to provide a program that would assist the soldiers returning home from war by setting up assistance for employment and recreation while helping the younger generation with organized Christian activities. By May, 1919, over $5,000 was raised to rent a storefront building on Michigan Avenue and hire one employee. In 1922, having outgrown their small storefront, the Carondelet YMCA moved to a small two story house with a yard across the street from the Carondelet Public Library. In 1924, the Businessmen of Carondelet, began to raise money for their own building. With the financial backing of Mattie Johnston (Johnston Tin Foil Factory) as well as Thomas Mellow (Liberty Foundry), over $80,000 was raised in the small community toward the new building.
In September 1925, the groundbreaking ceremony was held and the cornerstone was laid in November of that same year. The Grand Opening of the Carondelet YMCA/YWCA was held in June 1926. The building held an indoor pool, gymnasium, men's library, boys' game area, bowling alley, catering kitchen, and women's lounge (for YWCA usage one day per week). The unique architecture of this building was centered around the request of the main benefactor, Mattie Johnston, to have it match the Flemish Rennaisance Design of the Blow School next door. The sister Y, Carondelet YWCA, moved from the building in 1952 after family memberships were offered for YMCA members. Since 1919, the Carondelet YMCA has been able to provide for services to meet the needs of its community and continues to provide that service.
On November 19, 2009, the Carondelet Family YMCA staff and members moved to their new home at 930 Holly Hills in beautiful Carondelet Park. By doing so, the Carondelet YMCA was able to expand its programs and continue to provide for the needs of the community on a much larger scale. The Historic Carondelet building at 600 Loughborough continues to provide space for YMCA offices and services.

NPR Latest Expose on Private Prisons a Warning to AZ Legislature, Towns
Thursday, April 7th, 2011OK, nobody's pretending that Arizona State Legislators listen to NPR. But if they did, they might learn that they are about to make a $65 million mistake in awarding contracts for 5,000 more private prison beds in Arizona.
The reports both focus on the exploits of the GEO Group, the nation's second largest private prison company and one of the bidders for a lucrative new contract here in Arizona. Sadly, these problems are not limited to one corporation—there are similar examples on the rap sheets of every for-profit prison operator. That's because they all have the same problem: They are in the business of making money first, and they will always prioritize profits over protecting the public or rehabilitating prisoners.
A two-part expose aired last month lays out two of the inherent risks in handing over corrections to for-profit corporations:
- The profit motive trumps rehabilitation
- Small towns can get left holding the bag for empty prisons when the prison corporations go after more lucrative contracts
The first installment, "Town Relies on Troubled Youth Prison for Profit," details how a small town became so financially dependent on the Walnut Grove juvenile prison that elected officials, monitors, and other government actors have repeatedly turned a blind eye to rampant abuses against incarcerated youth. NPR found that the prison is paying the town $15,000 in lieu of taxes, paying $4,500/month to the Correctional Authority, and even "reimbursing" the salary of the corrections employee whose job is to monitor how the prison is run.
Who's going to let a little sexual abuse, drug trafficking, or medical neglect in comparison get in the way of such a cash cow?
In the second part of the expose (the amusingly alliterative, "Private Prison Promises Leave Texas Towns in Trouble"), NPR reveals how a small rural town was left on the verge of bankruptcy after GEO Group pulled out of a contract to run their detention center. To avoid defaulting on the loan they took out to build the prison, the city has "raised property taxes, increased water and sewer fees, laid off workers and held off on buying a new police car."
Citizens of towns like Globe, Eloy, Sahuarita, and Benson would do well to study this report. The story and even the actors may be uncomfortably familiar. Here's how it goes:
- A guy by the name of James Parkey comes to your town representing a company named Corplan
- He makes a sales pitch to your Mayor and Council promising a brand-spanking new prison for immigrants, or state inmates, or inmates from another state that won't cost you a cent to build. The private operator will finance, construct, and operate the prison and pay off the costs with the money generated by the contracts they get to put inmates in the facility
- Your town elders, desperate for jobs and economic development sign on the dotted line
- Everything is swell until you can't find any inmates
- The town is left scrambling to keep from defaulting on the bonds for the prison; the town's credit rating is down graded making it hard for the town to borrow money for new schools or hospitals; and drastic measures are taken like raising taxes, laying off workers, and putting off other important projects or purchases
Think it can't happen here? Prisoners aren't as easy to come by as they once were. Crime is down, and many cash-strapped states turn to sentencing reform to reduce prison populations and save money.
In some cases, horrendous abuses and lawsuits against the prison corporations have led states to cancel contracts. This is the case in Hawaii: That state's Governor has pledged to pull their prisoners out of a CCA prison in Eloy, Arizona after abuses and deaths in that company's Saguaro Detention Center came to light. CCA is currently the largest employer in Pinal County, and is most likely one of the bidders on those 5,000 new beds.
It's pretty clear that our state legislators are not listening to the warning signs. Maybe it was those steak dinners that CCA paid for at the ALEC meeting or the donation checks they got during the last election cycle. So, that means it's up to the voters and taxpayers to get the facts and make our voices heard. Private prisons aren't good economic development. They're a short-sighted boondoggle that could leave our children on the hook for our leader's poor decisions.

How to use Memtest86 to Troubleshoot Your Memory
By Jeff Checchi posted Jul 29th 2011
In tech support, one of the most common questions we get is "How can I tell if my memory is bad?" Many OS errors that you experience may mention something about your memory or DRAM having a problem — however these errors are not always cuased by faulty memory. In many cases these errors can be generated by your other components such as the motherboard or CPU, or in some cases they can even be a software related issue. The best way to find out if the errors are generated by your memory is to test your memory with Memtest86.
In this blog post we will link to a memory testing presentation which will cover all the basics of testing your systems memory. There are many memory testing utilities available out there, but today we'lll focus on Memtest86 which is a free download from www.memtest.org. The great thing about Memtest86 is that as long as you can get into your BIOS, you will be able to test the memory. Most software based memory testing utilities which run in Microsoft® Windows® (while better than nothing) are inferior to Memtest86 because they are not able to test all the memory. This is because some of the memory is being used by your operating system and any other programs that are already loaded when you have MS Windows running. Memtest86's strength comes from its ability to run outside of the operating system, and because of this, it is able to give you the most consistent and accurate results. Click the link below to view the Memtest86 screencast.

Complaints + feedback
There are two formal channels for persons to register complaints concerning the Gallery:
- through the service charter, which enables visitors to the Gallery (or to the Gallery's website) to provide feedback about services
- through complaints handling procedures below that provide the means for members of the public and Gallery employees to lodge complaints about any aspect of the Gallery's operations.
Complaints handling guidelines
These guidelines have been prepared by the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) for members of the public who are considering making a complaint.
Making a complaint or an allegation is a serious matter, and all parties involved may feel anxious about the process and outcome. NGA staff will strive to ensure all parties fully understand what is involved so that informed decisions can be made along the way.
A complaint, or just feedback?
The NGA values feedback and is working constantly to improve its services. The Service Charter outlines the services that we provide, what you can expect from us, and how you can assist us with improvements. The Service Charter is available here Service Charter and enables you to give us feedback on our services.
Who can make a complaint?
Anyone who is not satisfied with the services with which they are provided may lodge a complaint. If a complainant cannot personally lodge a complaint, they may authorise a third party to do so on their behalf.
Complainants who wish to remain anonymous may lodge their complaints anonymously. If the complaint is investigated, we will endeavour to preserve their anonymity. However, it may be difficult for the NGA to either fully assess the merit of the complaint, or adequately investigate it, without being able to clarify issues with the anonymous complainant.
The information you provide in completing the complaint form below may be used in conducting an investigation into your complaint.
We guarantee to maintain your confidentiality and privacy as far as possible while investigating your complaint. We will ensure that only those who need to know are given details of you or your complaint. If you demand absolute confidentiality, we will discuss with you the problems which that may present in resolving your complaint.
Special Needs
Complainants with special needs should make them known to the complaints coordinator who will assist or make special arrangements where possible. See below for contact details.
Commonwealth Ombudsman
The Commonwealth Ombudsman is able to investigate complaints about administrative matters, and can usually do so without disclosing the identity of complainants. Complainants who are concerned to maintain their anonymity should consider contacting the Ombudsman's office .
Translation needs?
If English is not your preferred language, please phone +61 2 6240 6559.
The complaint procedure
Informal Complaints
Anyone who is not satisfied with the service they received should tell the staff member concerned, or their supervisor, to try to resolve the problem.
If this does not resolve the complaint, or if it is not possible to identify the original staff member or their supervisor, then a formal complaint (or feedback through the Service Charter) should be considered.
Formal Complaints
Formal complaints may be submitted by telephone, personally, or in writing or via electronic means. A Complaint Form that sets out required information is provided as part of these Guidelines.
Whatever method is chosen to notify the complaint, the complainant should be careful to ensure that all relevant details are provided so the complaint can be dealt with expeditiously.
The complaint must include:
- complainant's name, address and contact details (unless anonymity is being sought);
- an explanation of the complaint, describing what happened, how it happened and who was involved;
- any letters or memos which may be relevant to the complaint;
- a suggested outcome being sought by the complainant; and
- if the complaint is being lodged on behalf of another person, that person's name and their relationship to the complainant (unless anonymity is being sought).
How to lodge a complaint
A complaint may be lodged in person, via telephone, electronically or sending a letter or form. See below for the various complaint channels.
The stages in submitting a formal complaint are as follows:
Stage 1 - Lodgement
- The complainant advises, orally or in writing, their complaint to the Complaints Coordinator. An acknowledgement will be sent to the complainant within 5 working days of its receipt. In most cases the NGA will resolve the complaint within 15 working days of receipt. If this is not possible, an update will be provided to the complainant as soon as possible specifying the likely time frame for resolution.
- Complaints will be registered and acknowledged by the Complaints Coordinator in the Governance and Reporting Section before being forwarded to the relevant Program Manager who will identify an appropriate action officer. The Program Manager will use his/her discretion to determine whether the complaint should be brought to the Director's attention.
- If the Program Manager considers the complaint is frivolous or vexatious, he/she will advise the Complaints Coordinator of this assessment, and the reasons. The Complaints Coordinator will then seek the Deputy Director's approval to dismiss the complaint and advise the complainant accordingly. The decision to dismiss a complaint as frivolous or vexatious cannot be made without the decision maker ensuring they have a complete understanding or the nature, scope and extent of the complaint. This may include seeking additional information from the complainant.
Stage 2 - Assessment
- The complaint will be assessed according to the circumstances and the available evidence. The person making the complaint may be contacted for more information if necessary, and if the complaint is not made anonymously.
- Gallery staff against whom a complaint is made will be provided with all details of the allegation, and their comments sought.
- A response to the complaint will be provided to the complainant outlining any actions to be taken. The response will detail the reasons for the decision. A copy will also be provided to the subject of the complaint.
Stage 3 - Review
- If the complaint has not been resolved satisfactorily, the complainant may apply to the Director for a review to be undertaken. Depending on the circumstances, the Director may appoint a Review Officer. A review must be requested within 28 days of the complainant receiving the response.
- Other rights of review include the Commonwealth Ombudsman and the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, if relevant to the nature of the complaint. These avenues would normally only be pursued after all other avenues have been exhausted.

What's in a Primate diet?
Primates are currently off display
25 July 2008
Every animal that lives at Australia Zoo is treated like royalty. The best enclosures, more love from their keepers than they can ask for, exciting activities and of course the freshest food that is going – not to mention a bigger variety than you and I even allow ourselves at home.Our Primates are no exception and are definitely spoilt. We have designed a specialised diet that caters to their every need (and wants). Taking into consideration iron levels, vitamin c, d and essential acids we put together a meal that is not only good for them, but tastes great as well. Our lucky animals are given a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, from kiwi, rock melon, honeydew, berries and watermelon to sweet potato, carrot, zucchini and squash; and that's not the half of it! Of course they have their favorites – banana is the equivalent to chocolate for primates with apple and corn following close behind in most popular food contest. But it doesn't end there…
We also like to give our primates treats, just because they are such amazing animals. Sultanas, mixed nuts, and a specially designed primate cake get our kids jumping for joy, but we are careful not to give them to much sugary foods. We don't want them acting like kids on red cordial or like our head primate keeper Jodi after she has eaten a block of chocolate. Crazy!
But wait there's more. Some of our primates also are leaf eaters so we make sure we give them fresh cut browse, and not just once a day but from anywhere up to three times a day. They love to eat fig leaves and enjoy it more when it still has some fig fruit left on it. Now you may be thinking that is a lot to eat in one go, but we actually feed these guys between 3-4 times a day. We give them breakfast, lunch and dinner and then snacks in between. Talk about being spoilt.
Our animals love living here at Australia Zoo and I think it is very clear to see why they would.

- Product Description
Continuing along the path of innovation, Weed Star have come up with yet another state of the art filtration system. This bowl has a percolator inside so the smoke is already being filtered, cooled and smoothed out before it evens gets inside the bong.
This means you can have that percolated experience without forking out hundreds of dollars for a perc'd bong. By simply putting this cup on any 18.8 joint, you will get percolated!!!

- Good Review by PackersFTW
Overall The only 2 things anybody could say bad about this are that it's hard to clean (trust me I know how to clean stuff, alcohol, salt, all that I know) and the bowl appears to be medium small, but it's just flat out small once you start filling it; 1 hitter.
Now for the good: I don't know how much smoother it makes the hit (hard to tell), but it definitely will keep your bong clean. And obviously it fits the bill for why we all bought it: 90 degree joint, such as The Nautilus.
So in closing I'd say that unless you can find something similar to this that's easier to clean, for under $50, then ya get this. I'm thinking the blue/green "4 way" Weed Star one would be a good competitor to this if you want to look around.
Oh and I forgot, this is superior to the Black Leaf Cool B due to the arms being longer.(Posted on 3/15/12)
- surprisingly good! Review by Smokin Samurai
Overall I have use it a few times and like it alot .....way better than the Black Leaf version cuz there is no drag and designed better (the 2 diffusers are further apart allowing more water to be used ) nice sized push bowl and very sturdy and well made thanks Ziggi!(Posted on 8/4/11)
- works quite well, slightly tricky to clean Review by Trip
Overall I love this thing, but I found the chamber beneath the push, right around the bowl-hole, is a bit difficult to clean, but if you get creative with a pipe-cleaner you can get in there. Obviously this works best in a vertical joint, not as well at a 45-degree angle, but that's great because there aren't enough ash-catchers out there for 90-degree fixed-stem pieces.(Posted on 6/25/10)

At LoQutus we perceive business architecture and IT architecture as indispensable disciplines to bridge the divide between strategy and execution.We believe that a holistic, enterprise-wide approach (to translate long-term business and IT requirements – such as the ones articulated in a corporate strategy – into future-state architectures) is the key to a successful definition and implementation of the strategic project portfolio roadmap. From our experience enterprise architecture generates the most added-value when playing a big part in the definition and planning of strategic projects.
Designing future-state architectures that support the strategic and operation goals is one thing, realizing them and putting them to work is something else.
LoQutus can rely on many years of experience in the field of solution architecture, handling the design as well as the realization and implementation. We have always differentiated ourselves – and proven very successful in many occasions - by putting the solutions within a broader context. By linking user requirements to business process activities and business information flows we avoid delivering business systems that are disconnected from day-to-day realities. By aligning technical requirements with the in-place IT infrastructure we avoid delivering solutions that behave as silos and are hard to manage.
Enterprise architecture and solution architecture go hand in hand but they need to be aligned with other disciplines as well. Architecture governance - typically supported by a managed set of processes, policies and principles – ties the architecture practice with disciplines such as business planning, project management, solution delivery, business process management and IT service management. The goal of architecture governance is two-fold: to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the different collaborations and to provide transparency in decision-making.

WTF...#7426 in Power Rank?!?!?!
" @Caligula: i know t but i remember that a few days ago emma was about in 80 in power rank, so now she drop off rapidly to 7000 ?? "fanboys have been hitting Thor pretty hard since the movie. That may have something to do with it.
Blame the lame fanboys that are causing this. Emma deserves to be really far up in the rank, not low as hell.
Superman was number 12 a couple of weeks ago.Yep, all it takes is one bitter fan with too much time on his (rarely a her I would think) hands.Now hes at 7669hehe pay no attention to it. It will always fluctuate.
Hm, wonder if the recent citizenship debacle has something to do with Superman's fall from grace? For Emma it's more understandable, she has more than her fair share of haterz.

I remember batman was 1 for like a week after the dark knight (22 now) and superman rarely cracks the top thousand.
Superman is also inthe 7,000's. I think it is cool to see how they rise and fall on the chart.
That would make more sence.

Fraternal Twin Girls names
We were set for these 2 names:
twin a) Harper Elizabeth
twin b) Frances Finley
Now I am of course rethinking ... maybe that's common the closer one gets to delivery.
The F name is for my mother, and there are not many F names that we like/ love
Frances. Francine (my moms name) and Fiona seem to be on the top of the list.
My husband likes both names as is- but I am leaning toward Fiona vs. Frances.
I like Harper & Fiona vs. Harper & Frances. Thoughts?
Middle name for Fiona?
I know Harper has haters and lovers... but I think that name is staying. I have loved it for years, granted
it's very trendy right now
Thanks for your input!!!

I prefer Harper and Fiona, as Frances doesn't pair well with the modern, trendy Harper.
What are you looking for in a middle? Do you want to honor anyone/anything, or is there a theme you'd like to have?
Classic names like Harper's middle, Elizabeth:
Fiona Charlotte
Fiona Louise
Fiona Grace
Fiona Rose
Fiona Claire
Fiona Jane
Fiona Catherine
Names that have are Biblical, like Elizabeth:
Fiona Ruth
Fiona Mary
Fiona Magdelene

Names that are variations of Elizabeth:
Fiona Betty
Fiona Lilibet
Fiona Liesel
Fiona Lisa

Well in my Opinion (and Experience).
Christians get enrage so easily because almost anything we do that might give them an idea that you're against them and their God. In return. They think we are denying what they believe. Their reaction is that. We are bad, satanic and therefore enemy in their eyes.
Well in your case is more of uh I don't know, tolerant maybe. I just remembered in my experience that in my school. They let the Class watch Passion of the Christ. Everybody is crying about it except me. then They saw me. asked if why I wasn't Crying. I said "I don't buy that".
Then bam! Get branded of a Bad Satanic Fellow who don't believe in God. So far they can tell me all they want. ain't gonna stop me from Chillin' out.

While a handsome film the crutch of the matter is 'A Single Man' is dull. There is no drama. It looks good but not Mad Men good. There is no energy to the proceedings. Colin Firth looks great but it is unbelievable that an Englishman would ever look that perfect even in the Sixties.
The clingy white shirt he wears has the starring role. The film, like a lot of high fashion imagery, is completely asexual, a tease that doesn't even do that very well. Naked men are shown but not really shown. They are shot in an American way, without gentalia, making them eunuchs which completely removes any hint of sexuality gay or straight.
Julianne Moore who is usually in her element in this 'era' - it was so over-styled the Sixties became a blur, it seems to be set in an unbelievably bleached time and place - turned into Patsy from AbFab. There was no depth to the plot or the characters. Everything is too perfect: the Mercedes, the Neutra House, the accessories. Maybe watch this one with the sound off, it may be more enjoyable.


text: | Should the United States get involved in the conflict in Syria?VotenoThe President made one good point in his Saturday talk: if no one's going to enforce international treaties on chemical warfare, biological warfare and nuclear proliferation, they might as well be torn up. However, it is past time for organizations like the EU and the Arab League to start policing their own neighborhoods. (The African Union already has a history of collective action.) The Arab League wants intervention. Fine, no one's stopping it; and I can see us supporting it.

Machine Vision Use to Grow
The Automated Imaging Association (AIA) has published a study forecasting that North American sales of machine vision to the pharmaceutical industry will grow by more than nine percent a year through 2006. The study is "The Machine Vision Market: 2001 Results and Forecasts to 2006."
In 2001, about 1900 vision systems, valued at $64 million, were sold to North American pharmaceutical companies. By 2006, the industry expects to sell some 2750 machine vision systems, valued at about $100 million, to the pharmaceutical industry.
Jeffrey A. Burnstein, AIA's executive director, says that machine vision is used to inspect vials, ampules, syringes, solid dosages, blisters, and labels, as well as to check date and lot codes and track products using optical character recognition and 2D-symbol-reading techniques. And a number of new applications are emerging, including UV printing, nasal-spray pattern, logo and code verification on solid dosages, and labeling individual tablets.
In addition to an annual market study, AIA sponsors events such as The Vision Show and Conference, which will be held November 19–21, 2002, in Santa Clara, CA. Conference sessions will highlight successful applications of machine vision. For more information, visit AIA's Web site, Machine Vision Online, at www.machinevisiononline.org.

By studying new classes of low-dosage hydrate inhibitors, a researcher from the University of Stavanger (UiS) developed new and more environmentally-friendly chemicals that can be used in oil and gas production.
The new chemicals developed by Pei Cheng Chua from UiS are used in the petroleum industry and prevent gas hydrate (a hydrocarbon ice) from forming inside pipelines, which can cause a blockage in the pipes. Although there are current types of methods on the market that can prevent the ice, such as antifreeze, these methods can cost a lot of money and can pose health risks for offshore workers.
For about 10-15 years, scientists have created LDHIs as an antifreeze alternative, but they only delay or disperse the formation of ice particles instead of preventing the formation altogether. Chua produced and pressure-tested new LDHIs that have proven to perform better and/or had less impact on the environment than substances that are currently available on the market.
