The CIM Montreal Branch is an active participant in promoting the mining and minerals industry in the region of Montreal. It already maintains a large number of members and directors working together to allow for regular presentations by invited speakers of the industry. The branch regularly provides sponsorship to McGill University and École Polytechnique for different events like the University Mining Games held every year around Canada. The mutual partnership between the different mining departments of universities in Montreal allow the branch to host dinners and 5 à 7s (happy hours) while improving the image of the mining industry in the region.
The McGill 5 à 7 was hosted by students on January 19 and was attended by approximately 15 branch members and 12 undergraduate students.
Patrick Maillet, a fourth-year student, talked about his work term experience. Also, the main presenter and graduate student, Louis Archambeault, made a technical presentation on Artificial Intelligence in Mine Planning. The event was part of a joint McGill – CIM Montreal Branch project to promote contact and interest between students and the minerals industry in the region.
Students and a large number of branch members attended the Quebec Cartier Mining presentation on January 30. Thomas Bohdal, a second-year mining engineering undergraduate student, made a presentation on his work term experience in Thompson, Manitoba, during the previous summer. In addition, QCM VP operations management, François Pelletier, presented a talk, Québec Cartier Positions Itself for the Future. The presentation highlighted the continuous success of the company that is translated by its shipment of 13 million tonnes of iron products annually to steelmakers around the world.
The event of February 13, which included a presentation by Errol Muir from Rio Tinto, was an especially interesting event for all undergraduate students in the mining and materials undergraduate program. The presentation, Winning Graduates: An International View from the Antipodes, highlighted Rio Tinto's recruitment and development policies for undergraduate students in mining engineering in Australia and around the world. The talk was a project undertaken by Rio Tinto to better understand current graduating students. Also, the presentation was preceded by a small talk by graduating student Colleen MacDougall from McGill University on her four work term experiences around Canada.

My understanding is the p38 was a good workhorse when it was introduced, but the Luger had style and class and was the favored posession amongst Germans (and us as well). We have a similar thing going here we have beretta M9s and some sigs but 1911s seem to be rather coveted amongst us.

NO personal evidence one way or the other. My father brought back from the war a Luger and a Mauser HSc. He always said that the Walther P-38 had been stolen in transit, and he deeply regretted that loss.
I have the Luger and Mauser, but have not fired a P-38, so I have no personal judgement. Whether the P-38 had a personal connection due to the way it was obtained, or if he viewed it as a superior weapon to the others, I have no idea. My father was not a gun guy.
He could appreciate them as machinery but never had a desire, that I know of, to collect.

microgunner- It's a post-war gun with an alloy frame. It is marked P38 and that's what I call it.
Mike- The NAZIS were commies. NAZI means National Socialist German Worker's Party and that's as commie as it gets. The NAZIs denounced capitalism and favored central control of wealth.
Or did you know this and only wondered what school taught the truth about Naziism?

My dad brought a Luger back from WWII. He had a nickel plated P38 he took from a prisoner but it was stolen from his pack(he was a paratrooper). He was glad it happened because he got the Luger and was only allowed to bring one semi-auto handgun home. He also shipped a 98K Mauser home. I have both guns and paperwork he filed to bring them home.
I have fired both Lugers and P-38s. I enjoy Lugers more because they are different. The P-38 is a fine gun and is very reliable.

The Nazis maintained strong central control over the economy but did not abolish private property ownership or centralize the entire economy; a major clue is that German WWII weapons were made by private companies like Walther and Mauser rather than being made by The State. In fact, one of the reasons Hitler came to power was by promising to crush the Soviet-backed Communist Party, which had become popular with many less-skilled German workers who had suffered under the weak and inflationary Weimar economy. This gained him political points with German conservatives and business owners who figured that some degree of central economic control was far more acceptable than the REALLY scary ideas that the Communists espoused.

Carguychris is correct. The original NSDAP tended toward socialism but Hitler needed both the money and the support of the industrialists in his rise to power, so the "S" was quickly ignored and older Nazis who actually believed in the "socialist" part were purged. (So was the "A". Workers who thought Hitler would improve their lot found their real wages cut, work hours increased, and the industrial bosses very much in control.)
A good source is William L. Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, written by one who was there and before revisionists and some pro-Nazi apologists had a chance to distort history.
In practice, to an American, there was little difference among Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and the other dictators of that ilk. All ruthlessly slaughtered their own people. Mao killed at least ten times more people than Hitler, yet some left-wing Americans adore him as a socialist hero!

Oh I get it, Hitler was a communist, Stalin was a fascist, Marx was a Leninist and Lenin was a Marxist. Eureka! It is all coming back to me now...funny how I got all of that reversed after all these years.
There is enough "propaganda" (a lot of anti-P38 sentiment) to embarass a Soviet newspaper in this thread. The P38 was one of the best pistols of the war, and the parabellum, aka "Pistol of 1908" does not compare.
IMO, the German foot soldiers would have been proud to carry P38s. It was one of the most advanced designs of the whole war, and one of the best designed pistols of the war, in general. What do you think they were told when they were trained with P38s? It was probably something to the effect of "this is the greatest pistol man has ever had, and you have it! Heil Hitler!" Yea, the luger has history, but that is more of a concern with a luger collector in the US vs a German soldier in WWII. I know if I'm a German soldier, I want either a P38 or a BHP way before a luger, for many reasons.
I also don't believe many officers wanted a P08 for the history. As others have said, they purchased their own pistols, and since they knew it would be a special occasion for their pistol to be drawn, they often carried smaller pistols in 32 acp such as the PPK, 38H, PP, HSc, Mauser 1934, etc. I acknowledge that a few would have wanted a P08 for one reason or another, but if you had your pick of 9mms as a german officer, the prudent choice would be one which offers advantage over your adversary, such as the BHP with a 14 rd capacity (13+1) or at least something that is more current than a luger. I can see an officer carrying a luger for sentimental reasons, or because it shot good for him due to the grip angle, but otherwise, I think you carry something more modern as a Nazi officer.
Btw, any P38 made after WWII is a reproduction. Only a wartime P38 is the genuine article.

China is using essentially that technique, today, to manage its growth: the Communist leadership calls the shots, but allows private ownership and profits. (Oversimplified, but generally correct...)
The Chinese Communists, it seems, don't mind private property and profits, as long as the Communist Party stays in control. (Whether that will be possible over the longer term is the question everyone is trying to answer -- i.e., is the relative "freedom" of the Communist economic system incompatible with the the almost TOTAL control of their political system?)

The point I was trying to make was missed. The soldier like most soldiers was not allowed to think or favor. If you were issued a P-38 then thats the gun you like.
Personally I like the P-38. It very closely reminds me my Beretta 96. I have never had the opportunity to fire a Luger, perhaps it will change my mind.

While I have both, I much prefer shooting the P-08 Luger. Shoot both side by side. I find the P-38, and the post WWII P-1 actually crude by comparison. Is the P-38 a "good gun"? Certainly. Is it more reliable than a Luger? Not for me, plus it is not nearly as accurate. The Luger is a work of art.

"Mike- The NAZIS were commies. NAZI means National Socialist German Worker's Party and that's as commie as it gets."
Wow. I missed that.
Failing grade on the history test.
A NAME does not make something so, the practice makes something so.
In practice, the Nazis were about as far from Marxist Communism as possible.
I'm starting to think that I should have become a history teacher.

I'm trying to remember where I read it, but it's been some years...
Anyway, what I read stated that in production terms, the Luger took well over 1,000 man hours to manufacture, while the P-38 took roughly 1/4th that amount of time.
Much of that was in the precision machining, finishing, and fitting required for many of the Luger's intricate parts, such as the toggle.
While the quality of finish was steadily decreased, that's only a small part of the production total for the gun.
More man hours equals higher unit cost, higher labor costs, and slower product delivery.

I would imagine that in the latter years of WWII, the typical German soldier, had he a particular need for a sidearm, would simply have chosen what he could lay hands on and obtain ammunition for. I doubt very much he had the luxury of hours of contemplation in the matter.
Remember, also, these are SIDEARMS - they are not primary weapons for combat troops. I'm sure we as enthusiasts put a lot more thought into this than the typical Wehrmacht feldwebel who no doubt had more practical concerns.

I think officers would have wanted the newer Walther P-38.
But I think the Luger was a better pistol, especially the artillery carbine version, but I could be biased.

My grandfather had an artillery carbine just like that one.
He traded it for a Webley pellet gun for my father when he was a wee lad.
Still have the Webley....dammit!

My only thought on the firing pin question is that anyone who thinks the P.08 firing pin is hard to remove should definitely not try to remove the P.38 firing pin.

25 years ago when I worked for Mercedes Benz I worked with 5 older gentlemen who were in the Wehrmacht, they all said they liked the Luger over the other handguns available.
One told me if a enemy soldier was caught during battle with a Luger they were shot on the spot.Reason being that they killed an officer to get it.( Of course they all said they were'nt Nazi's either)
I have a 1917 P-08, 1941 Walther P-38, and a 1962 P-38. They all are accurate, and a joy to shoot, and I find the 1962 P-38 the easiest to field strip of the three.

I don't think preference comes into play here, the troops used what they were ISSUED. The P-38 was a more modern design to take advantage of modern manufacturing techniques-stamping, e.g. Same with the MP-38. Not familiar with German practices regarding officers purchasing their own equipment, always thought that was more of a British practice. Pretty sure the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS got the pick of equipment, the rear echelon, police and security units got what was left over.

Helen Giles-Gee is first female, African American president of University of the Sciences
The new president of the University of the Sciences has been on the job for several months, but her inauguration ceremony is Friday afternoon.
Helen Giles-Gee is the university's first female, and first African American chief. She says it has been mostly members of the media--not her colleagues or students--who've made a big deal of those firsts.
"Hopefully this is something that should happen over and over again," she said. "It's just a person being selected because of experience and qualifications and an ability to do the job."
Giles-Gee said part of her job is to continue to distinguish her university from the other health and sciences powerhouses in Philadelphia.
To refine that task, she sometimes asks her students: "Why are you here? Why are you not at Penn or Drexel?"
"There is a difference," Giles-Gee said. "And it's our size."
She said the University of the Sciences boasts a 13 to 1 student to faculty ratio.
The university's subject-area focus will continue but Giles-Gee said she also values training in critical thinking and "flexibility of mind."
"Consider that I was the president of a liberal arts college for seven years and I come here to be president of a highly focused science and health care institution, I definitely see the combination as being important," Giles-Gee said.
Giles-Gee earned a doctorate in evaluation and techniques of experimental research from the University of Pennsylvania. She is a former president of Keene State College in New Hampshire and worked as provost at Rowan University in New Jersey.

Police consider carrying overdose antidote
Rhode Island has recorded 45 overdose deaths since Jan. 1. Police departments around the state are looking into having their officers carry an antidote.
Naloxone, sometimes known by the brand name Narcan, is the drug credited with bringing heroin or other opiate overdose patients back to life.
"It has an immediate reversal effect of the opiate," said Pat McMahon.
McMahon is the head of emergency services in Charlestown and a lieutenant on the town's police force.
"A lot of times when we see our victims, their respiratory rate is very shallow, low or not at all. The medication will virtually, as long as we get it in time, will virtually reverse that," McMahon said.
Naloxone is commonly carried on ambulances. It can be injected or given as a nasal spray.
McMahon said Charlestown will put the drug in the hands of some police officers as soon as a shipment comes in.
Half of the patrol officers on the small force are also EMTs trained in using naloxone. They are the officers who will be carrying the antidote first.
"The police officer can get on a scene anywhere from three to five minutes prior to an ambulance arriving on scene. This way the police officers will have this," McMahon said.
Charlestown appears to be the first department in Southern New England to take this step. But plenty of others are going in that direction.
The head of the Rhode Island State Police said he believes his agency has the legal authority to have its troopers carry naloxone. He's working with health officials to find the best way to buy the drug in bulk.
The mayor of Fall River will be seeking permission from Massachusetts health officials to give his city's officers the antidote. Woonsocket police are looking for the OK from its insurer.
The Providence police chief has said he's interested, too.

While it's likely true that Justin Bieber's fan base doesn't overlap heavily with the CFL's, the reception that the teen pop star received at Sunday's Grey Cup packed more vitriol than indifference. But a day after the event, many are pointing out that Bieber is a young, successful Canadian artist, and that his presence at an iconic Canadian sports event should have been celebrated, not condemned.
Before Bieber had even taken the stage, a photo of him — and fellow performer Carly Rae Jepsen, of Call Me Maybe fame — flashed across the Rogers Centre's giant screens. That's when the booing began:
And of course, it didn't stop there. Bieber was booed throughout his two-song performance, and Grey Cup attendees — as well as watchers at home — took to Twitter to show their displeasure with the CFL's chosen halftime act:
However, while those firmly entrenched in the anti-Bieber camp celebrated the boos and heckles, many have taken to Twitter a day after the Grey Cup to defend the Biebs, and attack his attackers — and whether or not you're a Belieber, theirs are some compelling arguments:
For his part, Bieber didn't respond to Sunday's crowd reaction, choosing instead to show gratitude for the opportunity to perform:
And later, he perhaps indirectly addressed the hecklers — while, as Ben Mulroney might say, staying classy:

Love Interests[edit]
Peter Parker's love interests[edit]
- Gwen Stacy: Gwen was Peter's first serious girlfriend. She was very kind but slightly spoiled, smart, beautiful and shared Peter's love for science. Her father was police Captain George Stacy. Peter initially ignored her due to his concern for his sick Aunt May, which frustrated Gwen. First a friendship, then a romance gradually formed between the two, which lasted for over a year, until her death. She was killed by the Green Goblin when he threw her off a bridge. In House of M, Gwen is still alive and married to Peter.
- Mary Jane Watson: listed above. Formerly depicted as Gwen Stacy's competition, she eventually became Peter's main love interest after Gwen (who Mary Jane was best friends with) died. She was really in love with Peter and even got married to him (before Mephisto altered reality).
- Black Cat a.k.a. Felicia Hardy: Peter's first superhuman girlfriend. She is calculating, strong and sly. Felicia competed against Mary Jane for Peter's affections, eventually losing after she left town for a while. She also dated Flash Thompson. She would continue on as an occasional love interest of Peter in some continuities.
- Anna Maria Marconi: Girlfriend of Peter when he was possessed by Dr. Octopus. Anna Maria met Peter as a student at Empire State University. The two hit it off and started dating. They started living together, and the relationship got so serious that Anna Maria found an engagement ring hidden in their apartment. After Peter regained control of himself, Anna became his friend.
- Betty Brant: Betty takes over her mother's former position as Daily Bugle secretary after she dies. Peter dates Betty Brant for a while, but they break up due to her blaming Spider-Man for the death of her brother.

- Carlie Cooper: She is an officer of the NYPD's Crime Scene Unit and ex-best friend of Harry Osborn's ex-girlfriend, Lily Hollister. She had also been friends with Gwen Stacy.

After pestering and bothering Peter tirelessly, she returned to her previous home in Chicago shortly after Vin's release.[8]

Enemies in other media[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (November 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
These enemies do not appear in the comics. They were created for various media series. Among them are:
- Wolf Spider (appeared in Ultimate Spider-Man voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes) - Wolf Spider is an evil alternate version of Spider-Man from a parallel dimension. He appeared as the primary antagonist in the four-part season four episode arc "Return to the Spider-Verse". He first appeared as a top lieutenant for the Lizard's army of vampires in a Victorian era of New York City. After the Lizard and his vampire army were defeated, Wolf Spider escapes as he possesses a piece of the Siege Perilous as well. He later arrived in the 1880s attempting to capture another piece, but was driven back by Doc Ock Holiday (the Western version of Doctor Octopus) and the Phantom Rider. As he secretly follows Spider-Man and Miles Morales, he arrives in the Noir universe, attempting to convince Mister Negative to help him in the quest for domination, but the latter declined and attacked him, forcing the Wolf Spider to retreat. He jumps into Miles Morales' universe, ambushing Spider-Man and Morales at the NYPD headquarters holding the latter's mother hostage. They, along with an alternate version of Spider-Woman, rescue her and defeat the Wolf Spider, but not before collecting his shard of the Siege Perilous. He evades capture and invades Miles Morales' home, where he reveals himself to be an evil version of Peter Parker. He explains that he received a piece of the Siege Perilous himself and he has killed every version of Peter Parker that was deemed heroic since wielding the shard, including a Miles Morales from his own universe. He lures the three heroes to his underwater lair, where he reveals his master plan: using the power of the Siege Perilous to absorb the life force of every surviving Spider-Man from every dimension. He completes his mission, but Spider-Man tricks him, telling him that the heroic, "pure" life energies from each Spider-Man has corrupted the Wolf Spider's evil dark life force. Unable to fight it off, the Wolf Spider was killed.
- Monster-Ock (appeared in Spider-Man and Ultimate Spider-Man, voiced by Marcus Shirock (Spider-Man) and Fred Tatasciore (Ultimate Spider-Man): Monster-Ock is the name of the bonding between Spider-Man villains Doctor Octopus and Carnage. Initially, he was an exclusive villain to the 2000 video game Spider-Man. In his first appearance when Spider-Man defeats Carnage by using sonic weaponry, the symbiote left Cletus Kasady and it bonds onto an unconscious Doctor Octopus and Monster-Ock attempts to kill Spider-Man. After a lengthy chase throughout the underwater base, Spider-Man barely escapes and the symbiote left Octavius, leaving him catatonic, but alive. Spider-Man saves Octavius and the symbiote's, as well as Kasady's, fates were unrevealed. Years later, in Season 4 of Ultimate Spider-Man (titled Ultimate Spider-Man vs. The Sinister Six), a different version of Monster-Ock existed. In its only appearance in the animated series, '"The Symbiote Saga, Part One", Morbius bonded Doctor Octopus (whose body was morphed via nanites) with the Carnage symbiote as retaliation for Doc Ock transforming into a bat-like vampire. As Morbius escapes capture from Spider-Man and Agent Venom, Monster-Ock was preparing to kill Flash Thompson (whose Venom symbiote was struggling to stand up against the new symbiote threat) until Spider-Man used sonic weaponry to separate Doc Ock and the Carnage symbiote. An unconscious Doc Ock was webbed up by Spider-Man.
- Hyper-Electro (appeared in Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro) - Hyper-Electro is a powered-up version of the villain Electro and is exclusive to the game. In Enter Electro, Electro teams up with various villains in an attempt to retrieve pieces of the Bio-Nexus Device, a device designed to amplify one's bio-energy. He kidnaps Dr. Watts (the creator of the Bio-Nexus Device) and holds her hostage at a museum in exchange for Zeus' Tear (a rare sapphire that Spider-Man captured a short time before Electro arrived at the museum). After injuring Spider-Man, Electro connects the jewel to the Bio-Nexus Device and transforms into Hyper-Electro, a being of pure energy. In the end, an injured Spider-Man defeats Hyper-Electro by overloading the generators supporting Hyper-Electro's power and destroying the Bio-Nexus Device. Electro is last seen in prison sharing a cell with Hammerhead and Shocker.
- Rattan (appeared in Spider-Man and Captain America in Doctor Doom's Revenge): He was created specifically for the game.

In her first and only appearance, "Keeping Secrets", she is behind a string of robberies, much to Spider-Man's dismay, who is a little concerned for her safety. Her real name is Cherry Valentine, and she is Harry Osborn's girlfriend. Peter learns about this, but he keeps this a secret to both Mary Jane and Harry. During a later encounter, she is shot by the police and she is seemingly killed. At the end of the episode, it was revealed she was alive and well, and she breaks up with Harry.
- Black Cat 2099 (appeared in Spider-Man: Edge of Time, voiced by Katee Sackhoff): She is a clone of the original Black Cat. It was revealed that she was upgraded with cybernetic weaponry and she claimed that Alchemax was forcing her to use anti-aging drugs to mislead Spider-Man. Black Cat 2099 also has clones of herself.

In the game, he travels back in time to establish Alchemax sometime in the 1970s, which results in Spider-Man's untimely death by the hands of Anti-Venom, who is revealed to be under mind control. Sloan was revealed to be working with Doctor Octopus to alter reality, much to Octavius' dismay. After Anti-Venom was freed from mind control, he prepares to kill Sloan for mindwiping him. Instead, Anti-Venom, Sloan, and Octavius were pulled into an unstable portal, resulting in the creation of Atrocity.
- Atrocity (appeared in Spider-Man: Edge of Time, with vocal effects provided by Fred Tatasciore): Atrocity is a result of the violent fusion of Anti-Venom, Doctor Octopus, and Walker Sloan. Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 are unaware of its identity, until Spider-Man collects three samples of its DNA and analyzed it to Spider-Man 2099. In the end, Spider-Man defeats Atrocity by luring him into a portal, and Anti-Venom, Sloan, and Octavius' fates are unknown.

Django Unchained became Django Unscreened as Quentin Tarantino's movie was pulled from Chinese theatres on opening day.
The rare suspension order by China Film Group Corp. was confirmed by theatre employees throughout China, and has led to speculation that the Hollywood film could have run afoul of Chinese censors despite weeks of promotion in the country.
Calls to the importer and to China's regulatory agency, the State Administration of Radio Film and Television, were unanswered. The China office of Sony Pictures, which released the film, refused to comment.
Django Unchained reportedly cut some violent scenes and had already been cleared by China's rigorous censors, who generally remove violence, sex and politically edgy content. With such an exacting system, suspension on a film's premiere date is unusual.
Tian Zaixing, general manager of the Beichen Fortune Centre movie theatre in the southern city of Kunming, said he could not recall any other imported film being halted on the opening day. The order from China Film Group came in a phone call around 10am, he said.
"We were excited about the film yesterday," he said. "We had had high expectations for this film's box office."
Mr Tian said he had hoped the movie would bring about one-tenth of the monthly box office, or about 150,000 yuan ($22,800), to his six-screen theatre in April. Now, he must scramble to fill newly opened slots for screening.
"This means we might not be able to meet our box-office goal for the year," Mr Tian said.
The cited technical reason might only be a ruse, said Mr Tian, who was unable to provide an alternative explanation.
He dismissed speculation that a nude scene was the offending culprit.
"The censors have sharper eyes than we do," Mr Tian said. "Shouldn't they have already spotted it?" He added the scene was not lewd at all but powerful in making the audience sympathetic toward one character.
The film stars actors well-known to the Chinese audience: Leonardo DiCaprio as a plantation owner and Jamie Foxx as a freed slave who trains to become a bounty hunter and demands his wife's freedom.
It made more than $US160 million ($152 million) at the North American box office and has proved successful overseas as well. China has risen to the second-biggest movie market with sales of $US2.7 billion last year, according to the Motion Picture Association of America.
A man who is on the official promotional team for the film but refused to give his name because of the perceived sensibility of the issue said there had been no prior warning about the suspension and that the film's midnight premiere was unaffected.
Photographer Xue Yutao said he was about one minute into the movie at a Beijing theatre on Thursday morning when a couple of theatre employees walked in and told the audience that the screening would be postponed. The announcer did not give a reason or say when the movie would be re-shown, Mr Xue said.
"It was so sudden. I was very shocked," Mr Xue said. "How could this be possible? Something like this has never happened before."
Mr Xue said he resorted to a pirated copy of the film and did not see anything that would have offended Chinese censors.
"I'm not a noble man," the photographer said of his viewing of pirated movies. "I would still prefer to see it in the theatre"

Sarah Hyland wanted a change, and got it with her new, short 'do. The Modern Family actress showed off her "big girl haircut" – and gave a shoutout to her stylist – on Instagram and wrote:
"I got a big girl haircut! Thank you @nikkilee901!! Love you so much! #nofilter"
Sounds like the 22-year-old is growing up – in a recent interview she talked about her latest project, Lifetime's Call Me Crazy: A Five Film, a drama dealing with mental illness. "[Lifetime] asked me to be a part of it, and Jennifer Aniston was producing as well as a whole bunch of other amazing people," Sarah said.
"I was just really excited that they wanted me to be a part of it. It brings education to such a great cause," she continued.
Sarah says she was especially interested in the message the short film conveyed. "There's such a stigma to mental illness, and I think this movie is really great because it brings a life to it that you normally don't see," she explained.
"In this industry it's seen as criminal or funny characters that are crazy, so this brings a humanity to it. Hopefully people take away a lot of knowledge from this movie. Melissa Leo plays my bi-polar mom and she is so good. I'm really excited to see it."

Federal Highway Officials Help New York-Area Contractors Compete for Work on Kosciuzko Bridge Replacement
NEW YORK – The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez today emphasized the Obama Administration's commitment to helping disadvantaged businesses enterprises (DBE) in New York City compete for contracts on the Kosciuzko Bridge replacement project. His remarks were made at a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) workshop at Baruch College, held in advance of advertising contracts for the project, to help DBEs identify and compete for the many subcontracting opportunities on this project. The new bridge is estimated to cost $575 million with the federal government funding 90 percent, or $517.5 million of the investment.
"President Obama is counting on us to rebuild America by putting people back to work on transportation projects that can make a difference, and New York's small businesses are at the heart of this effort," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. "Putting small and disadvantaged businesses to work replacing the Kosciuzko Bridge and on other projects will help ensure all companies can play a part in an America built to last."
The Kosciuszko Bridge Replacement represents the New York Works initiative's largest single infrastructure project. The existing bridge, which opened to traffic in 1939, spans Newtown Creek and connects Greenpoint in Brooklyn and Maspeth in Queens. According to the state, the bridge currently serves more than 160,000 drivers per day, but has been rated as "structurally deficient" for the last 25 years.
"Small business is the lifeblood of the American economy," said Federal Highway Administrator Mendez. "By helping small and disadvantaged businesses compete, we can create jobs and improve America's infrastructure more quickly and cost-effectively."
New York's workshop is the latest in a series of national forums held to share best practices in achieving DBE goals on major projects. Since 2010, FHWA has hosted similar meetings around the country to focus on opportunities for minority- and women-owned small and disadvantaged businesses. The meetings helped prepare small businesses to compete for federal projects valued, in total, at more than $21 billion.
The new bridge, to be built just east of the existing one, will improve safety by including auxiliary lanes and shoulders, and by using more up-to-date design standards for ramps to and from the bridge. These improvements are expected to reduce crashes on the bridge and help to keep traffic flowing more efficiently. Heavy traffic volume in and around Brooklyn makes this bridge a major traffic chokepoint for one of the East Coast's most congested cities. Work is expected to begin in January and is expected to be completed by 2018.

In 1976, a single event rocked the wine world. In the famed Judgment of Paris Tasting, top French wine experts chose two unknown wines over the best that France—long considered the epitome of great winemaking—had to offer. The source of those remarkable wines? California.
No place on Earth has a more ancient and important tradition of winemaking than Italy. Thousands of years before wine became commonplace in France or the Napa Valley, Italians were producing their own unique varieties and making wine an essential part of Italian—and human—culture.

Duration: 60 minutes, including LIVE Q&A
Packaging Matters: Studying the Satisfaction Gap in Consumer Packaging
Consumers often choose products based on packaging, but how satisfied are they once they try to carry, store, open, use or dispose of the product package? MeadWestvaco Corporation (MWV), a global packaging company providing innovative solutions to the world's most admired brands, commissioned a new study to help answer this question – and determine why packaging matters far beyond the store shelf. The study explored consumers' satisfaction with packaging across product categories, features and touch-points throughout the lifecycle. The results reveal the biggest opportunities for packaging improvements that will allow brands to meet consumers' needs and ultimately deliver on their brand promises – not just in store but also in the kitchen pantry, medicine cabinet, or on-the-go. This informative webinar, hosted by MWV's leaders of consumer insights and creative, will provide an overview of the study's results, key learnings for the industry and relevant case examples.
By attending this webinar, you will:
- Gain first-look access to MWV's inaugural study on packaging satisfaction with key insights and applications from industry experts
- Discover the impact that different packaging attributes have on consumer purchase decisions in today's changing marketplace
- Understand consumer perceptions of satisfaction by packaging category and the opportunities for brand owners, retailers and designers to improve product experience

Reviving Asian Economic Growth Requires Further Reforms
With a time horizon that is medium to long-term, this brief provides broad directions for policy and institutional reforms that would help revive growth in the ADEs. Given the pronounced diversity of the ADEs, specific directions are called for in each economy. However, it is not possible to address all the specificities here. The brief identifies emerging domestic constraints, examines the challenges and opportunities resulting from globalization, sketches a broad reform agenda and concludes with a sequencing of the reforms in the different subregions.

[quote=""Rat Boy""DC teens patrolling...er...if they had a team that anybody would give a crap about, then maybe...[/quote]
I swear Rat, if I didn''t think you were trying to piss me off intentionaly (which in itself, calls into question the level of maturity), I''d consider you nothing more than an irksome nuisance which has to be dealt with in order to read more intellectual and thought provoking material from smarter folks then you.
I would have also pointed out (had you been serious) that self-stimulation does not, in fact, substitute as a social life and would have volunteered to find you alternative ways of dealing with those feelings of utter failure as a human being.
But, being as you were joking, and ha ha bully for you, I''ll only ask you to tread ever so carefully in making any remarks that could even resemble something slightly tarnishing towards the Washington Redskins.
Any further, or even implied, derogatory remarks will result in me having to open my can of ownage and send you crying to whatever entity bravely calls you kin (ha ha, another joke, since we''re all joking).
Believe me when I say this: You know nothing about the Redskins, and I will slam you like a wet trisket should you even have the gall to try.
I disagree with you on many points. I don''t mind so much when you just try to add fuel to the fire for your own sick little follies, but DO NOT, under any circumstances, fool yourself into thinking you know something about my Redskins.
I''m not thrilled about your comments regarding all of D.C teams, but I''ll let it slide for the sake of peace and goodwill. You''re wrong, but no need to spend too much time debating it.
Your liberal slant is annoying, but (somewhat) respected for the fact of this being an open and mature forum with a great exchange of information; however, that ceases at the door step to the NFL, the NFC East, and the Washington Redskins.
But hey, you were joking. Not funny, but I''ll give you a point for cuteness. Now back off.
(PS. the roll icon blows)
The Redskins are poopy. poopy
Nice try Pyro.
And they say a watched pot never boils...
Yeah, well, some things are sacred.
We need Gibbs back!
Darrell, I miss you already! You are a class act in a world of Primadona talents.
We need Gibbs back!
Darrell, I miss you already! You are a class act in a world of Primadona talents.
Darrell Green was one of those very rare profesional athletes in any sport. He was with one team only, and continues to give back so much to the community. He''s always said he played football so he could afford to do the charity work which is more important.
Almost in second was his incrediable skill at a postion that long ago should have gone to younger players. He will indeed be missed as a football player, but D.C is very lucky to have him as a person.
And I miss Gibbs, too, but he''s doing fine in NASCAR so I wish him well.
WWII Germany and Italy were very much different from the situation in the middle east now. Italy was fascist, but only because the people in power were. It was never a popular movement. Once the allies started taking control, Mousallini was ousted and the country switch sides and fought with the allies. Well, kinda fought anyway. Germany was a little closer. Hitler came to power because he was able to take advantage of the German people''s feelings of humiliatoin after WWI. (There''s a reason Hitler made France sign their surrender in the same rail car Germany was forced to sign theirs in after WWI). But there was no religion involved, really. The persecution of Jews was only partially about religion, I think. Really, the nazis just singled out a group for their people to blame for Germany''s problems.
Anyway, I''m not really sure where I was going with this, except to say that WWII and the current Gulf problems are very much different

TPWD News Release — Dec. 27, 2006
AUSTIN — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will hold two meetings in January to seek public comment about how Big Bend Ranch State Park should be accessed and used for recreational purposes in the future.
The first meeting on the proposed expansion of public use of Texas' largest state park will be held from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Wed., Jan. 10 at the Presidio County Courthouse in Marfa. A second public meeting will take place in Austin from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 24 at Recreational Equipment Inc.'s downtown classroom, 601 N. Lamar Blvd.
At roughly 300,000 acres, Big Bend Ranch State Park, located just outside Presidio, is by far the largest in the Texas state park system, stretching from the Rio Grande well into the Chihuahuan Desert's numerous mountain ranges and canyon lands.
Unlike Garner, Inks Lake and most state parks, Big Bend Ranch is minimally developed, offering visitors a rare opportunity to enjoy an uncrowded wilderness experience. Just how to expand park access without negatively impacting its fragile resources is what the public use plan will address, said Mike Hill, TPWD's West Texas regional state parks director.
"Big Bend Ranch is both ecologically sensitive, and archeologically and geologically significant, with 134 free-flowing, fresh water sources and riparian areas that are home to unique plants and animal species," Hill said. "Therefore, careful planning for the expansion of public use is essential and candid public input is imperative."
The public meetings are the continuation of a planning process TPWD began in 2004, but was put on hold by a variety of reasons, including a continuing budget squeeze that forced staffing cutbacks, Hill explained. The park's size is so huge, he said, that it has been divided into nine management zones for planning purposes, each of which is larger than almost any other state park.
A draft of the Public Use Plan calls for retaining five of the 12 existing campsites, 67 miles of trail, roads and river campgrounds, and access points. The initial phase of development would add 35 primitive campsites, 21 trailheads, 88 miles of trails and 40 miles of four-wheel drive roads that would make more of the park's interior accessible.
For more information, or to comment on the plan, visit the TPWD Web site public comment page, or call (512) 389-4661.

Benitez guards against Boxing Day complacency
Rafael Benitez has warned his Liverpool stars they dare not take bottom club Derby lightly on Boxing Day - unless they want to suffer another shock defeat like they did at Reading earlier in the month. On the back of a Fernando Torres-inspired weekend win over Portsmouth, Liverpool can keep the pressure on the four clubs ahead of them with an expected victory at Pride Park. The Reds triumphed 6-0 in the first meeting between the clubs this year but the Spaniard does not want his side to assume it will be as easy again. 'Everyone is expecting us to beat Derby but we have had experience of Reading (where they lost 3-1) so we will have a lot of respect for Derby and will try to win this game,' he said. 'When you play away against a team which is battling relegation it is always very difficult.' Benitez knows also that three good performances in the next week will go a long way to lifting the speculation still hanging over him about his future at Anfield. But he remains happy to continue his controversial rotation policy over the festive period, saying: 'Sometimes you can use the same player, sometimes you use the squad. I like to use the squad because this is the key if you want to reduce the gap (to the teams at the top) - it is using the right players at the right moment. 'When you play four games in 12 days it is such a short time you can change players and they can understand. Sometimes when you play one game a week and you leave six players out of the squad it is more difficult to explain but this situation is easier.' Derby boss Paul Jewell, a lifelong Liverpool fan, realises his team will be up against a top side and backed them to end their 18-year title drought in the near future. 'They'll win it again, I'm sure of that, but I don't think they will do it this season,' said Jewell. 'I think the title race is more exciting this year than it has been because Arsenal and Manchester United are out in front, with Chelsea are on their heels. 'Liverpool are 10 points behind with a game in hand. It can be done, but I can't see them overtaking Arsenal and United. 'But with the investment they have, with the players they've got and those they will bring in, they will get closer and closer.' Chelsea host Aston Villa in an afternoon kick-off and boss Avram Grant is also cautioning against a slip-up. 'We lost against Villa the last time we met them. We didn't play well, even though we played with all of our squad, so we know they are a good, organised team with a good manager,' said Grant. 'It will be a tough match, but we are the home team and, while I don't like the word revenge, we want to win - especially after our defeat there.' Villa chief Martin O'Neill, meanwhile, is ready to battle for a second victory over the Stamford Bridge outfit. 'Chelsea are in a rich vein of form and we need to upset them,' said the former Celtic boss. 'They are obviously playing well at home and they will want to get three points against us. 'But we are fighting for things at the moment, we want to get into Europe and we want those points over the Christmas period.' Birmingham will be hoping striker Cameron Jerome breaks his home duck against Middlesbrough after scoring all five of his goals this season on the road. And Jerome is desperate to prove himself in the top flight. He said: 'It is a dream come true to be playing in the Premier League. I have got to play as hard as I can and work as hard as I can to play my part in trying to make sure that we stay here. 'These next two games are against teams in and around us so if we can pick up more points than them then it should stand us in good stead for January and we can set new targets for then.' Boro boss Gareth Southgate feels for his side's fans who have to travel to the midlands and then Portsmouth if they are to follow the club over the festive period. 'It's not great for the fans because they have got two huge journeys, so in that sense, it is a very strange set of fixtures to throw up,' he said. 'We are fortunate, we are in the posh seats, we can fly to Portsmouth. Most of the fans have got to make their way there, so it's a lot harder for them.'

Get involved with the beta testing at this link.
More about the features after the jump.
Featured Apps
The Featured Apps section is where Pretzil will showcase apps in a variety of ways. Currently, the beta is showing a manually-curated list of apps, and an update in the near future will include apps that have been newly added to our database. The featured apps list has a great roadmap ahead of it where users will be able to discover apps based on a variety of trending information and your personal preferences.
The Search feature in Pretzil is just as you would expect any other search but we have some crowd-sourced initiatives to make it increasingly sophisticated. For example, from Pretzil.com, users are constantly adding tags to apps to make them more discoverable. Many of these features will be rolled out to the app and made more intelligent.
The profile is pretty basic in the beta and there's a lot more you can do socially at Pretzil.com. For now, we wanted to focus on the app discovery, and social features will be coming in the near future. Suffice it to say, here is where you'll be able to edit your own profile and curate a page to showcase your personality.
NOTE: The new user registration process for the Pretzil Beta app is a little convoluted but will be fixed shortly. For Pretzil users that have already created an account and linked their facebook account, this is a simple facebook sign-in. We'll write up a quick How To for registration if Beta testers are finding it too complicated. It's a lot of back-and-forth between facebook and the app for now.
Apps Locker
The Apps Locker is where you store your apps that you either want or currently have. The current beta version of the app involves manually adding the apps to your Apps Locker but this will soon be automated. One of the more interesting elements of the Apps Locker is that when you've integrated your account with facebook, we leverage Timeline to add a curated list of apps to your facebook profile. On your facebook page, your friends will be able to discover what apps you use and share themselves.
Example Timeline:
As we mentioned above, the social element of the Beta app isn't nearly as developed as it is on Pretzil.com. Our company believes in basing everything off APIs that we can also leverage to the public, so anything you see on the web can and most likely will be created in the app experience as well. For now, the Friends section comes in handy as you can see what apps are being used by the people you friend on Pretzil. Currently, the only mechanism is to "Fan" someone through the mobile web but we'll be working all this out soon before launch.
The map view is where you can see what apps are being used around you. The apps here are being pulled from checkins from apps that have integrated with Pretzil, as well as apps that are being added to people's Apps Lockers. This map will become increasingly sophisticated as we streamline the app checkin process as well as displaying a combination of checkins and Apps Locker adds.
Thank you for participating in the Pretzil Beta and we look forward to your feedback. Again, anyone looking to get in on the Beta action, register at this link.

text: Evening all Last week, my A4 told me the right rear light bulb needed replacing. Had a check and it appeared the inner bulb for the red rear lights was out (there is a single filament on the inside and dual filament that doubles as a brake on the outside). Got round to buying a bulb this morning, whipped the light out and the bulb was fine?? Replaced bulb anyway but still no luck. Thos makes me think it is a wiring fault but I don't know where to start other than using the left side as a source and splicing a wire to the right light, but I guess this wont help the computer telling me there is a bulb out. Anyone else had a similar problem? Andy

Man dies after marching in Anzac Day parade
A 67-year-old man has died after taking part in Anzac Day celebrations in Darwin.
St John Ambulance says the man collapsed at the Darwin RSL shortly after this morning's Anzac Day march.
Paramedics, a doctor and an army medic tried to revive him but he died in hospital around 11:00am.
The man was wearing war medals and paramedics do not know what killed him.
Stephen Van Gerwen from St John Ambulance says the emotion of Anzac Day can play with people's health.
"You do tend to see around the country on Anzac Day where people will become sick or succumb to the excitement," he said.
"You do tend to see some cardiac arrests on Anzac Day which is very sad."

A leader of the Islamic fundamentalist Hamas movement said this week that the group would participate in Palestinian municipal elections that are scheduled for the spring.
Hamas, which militantly opposes the Israeli-Palestinian accords, boycotted the Jan. 20 Palestinian Council and presidential elections.
But Hamas spokesman Mahmoud Zahar said the group would participate in the municipal elections because local officials would serve the daily needs of the residents of the self-rule areas.
He added that participation in the municipal voting would not signify Hamas' recognition of the Palestinian self-rule government or of the peace accords with Israel.
Meanwhile, 12 Hamas activists were released from Palestinian jails this week.
Among those released was a leader of Izz a-Din al-Kassam the military wing of Hamas.
The releases reportedly came in the wake of a meeting between officials of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
In a related development, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat approved the opening of a Hamas office in the Gaza Strip and the licensing of a pro-Hamas newspaper.

DMA problems on SiS746FX IDE channel
Hello to all,
I have switched to Ubuntu for months now and though I've been searching for all this time I still haven't been able to switch on DMA on my IDE channel.
I have an Athlon XP processor on a QDI K7S746FX motherboard (I SiS 746 chipset). My drives are set: /dev/hda: hard drive, /dev/hdb: DVD, /dev/hdc: CDRW. All of them have DMA off and can't change it with hdparm. And then I have a PCI SATA controller with a Maxtor hard disk. But I have the feeling that it is working really slow too. hdparm /dev/sda gives me:
Timing cached reads: 1020 MB in 2.00 seconds = 509.82 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 102 MB in 3.06 seconds = 33.38 MB/sec
Is that normal or slow?
I have tried editing the /etc/modules file, adding amd74xx or via82cxxx, but they didn't work. I have also changed the order in which the modules are loaded at startup, as those solutions where the ones that worked for most people in the forum. I think that it has to do with my chipset... Should I replace amd74xx or via82cxxx with something else that is specific for the SiS chipset?
Any help would be much appreciated!
may be this link will help. It help me alot. i know have DMA working on my HD, cdrw & dvdrw drives.
Thank you for the link, but unfortunately it is not of any help. The problem is that for some reason it is the SiS chipset that gives me headaches. It seems that I should add a "SiS-something" module in my /etc/modules file. I am not in my linux computer at this moment so I can't tell you the exact module. The problem is that adding that, the computer stops during boot. It doesn't freeze, it just stops at some point, where it is "Configuring RAID devices" and if I press Ctrl+C it will just go on to the next step and there it will once again stop but will not respond any more to Ctrl+C. I don't know what else to do. It seems like the only thing left to do is to compile a new kernel, but I can't start such thing at this moment, for lack of time. Is there anything else I could try?
dont add "SiS-something" remove module in the /etc/modules file.
i followed the commands from " Configuring your system " section, to make sure my ide could do dma. To add DMA at boot i added these lines to my "/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh" file.
/sbin/hdparm -m16C3 /dev/hda # sets multcount=16 && 32bit w/sync
/sbin/hdparm -d1u1c1X66 /dev/hdc # dma=on unmaskirq=on 32bit UDMA2
/sbin/hdparm -d1u1c1X66 /dev/hdd # dma=on unmaskirq=on 32bit UDMA2
i hope this helps

I Have Arse Inadquacy Issues Thanks to Tardy's New Avatar
I was so distracted by it that I misspelled 'inadequacy'. :[ 3 People
Me Too...but Not the One You'd ThinkI have inadequacy issues because of his avatar, too...but not the one of the hot chick in panties. No my friends, it is his NEWEST avatar that makes my *** feel so sub-par: I am not sure how to deal with the undeniable magnificence of this bum...all I do know, in fact...

But Hey...I've had inadequacy issues since long before I spotted the logo for this group (and at the time Tardy's avatar!) I feel my arse is too big in relation to the rest of me (apart from my boobs which are also too big!)

I Mean, Look At It.tardy's new avatar has prompted me to ponder my own backside, and i have been forced to admit that it comes up short. woefully short. yes, the tattoo i prefer to be without. but the taut and firm hindquarters are truly enviable. they are emblazoned on the canvas of my mind...
