So I'm just starting out with JAVA at school and within the first week I'm way beyond what my book can do for me so I started writing a calculator that had four inputs, three for numbers and the fourth one for what I wanted to do to the numbers i.e. addition subtraction multiplication, and limited division(no decimals ).
public class Calculator { public int number1; public int number2; public int number3; public int total; public String function; public void Number3(int number3) { number3 = number3; } public int Calculatorinput(int number1, int number2,String function) { if(number3 == null) {number3 = 0;} else{number3 = number3;} if (function == "+") {total = number1+number2+number3;} else if (function == "-") {total = number1-number2-number3;} else if (function == "x") {total = number1*number2*number3;} else if (function =="/") {total = number1/number2/number3;} if (total == 0) {System.out.println("something is wrong");} else {total = total;} return total; } }
I know at this point it won't compile, the problem I'm having is making that third number an optional integer within the calculator, I know I'm either really close....or waaay off.

Solvar Jewelry Connemara Marble Ring with Marcasite Shamrock $79.95
Connemara Marble ring with marcasite shamrock made by Solvar, one of the finest Irish jewelers in Dublin.
Connemara Marble is one of the oldest marbles in the world – about 600 million years old. It is mined in the Connemara region of the west of Ireland. Many years ago it was used for fixtures in state buildings and churches but now only small quantities are mined for jewellery. Each piece is individual with variations in the green colour, markings and veining. Because of its rarity and beauty, it is sometimes called Ireland's gemstone.
Marcasite is a term applied to small polished and faceted stones that are traditionally inlayed in sterling sliver to create beautiful jewelry with a classic and sophisticated appeal.
The Shamrock hardly needs an explanation. It has been the symbol of Ireland for centuries.
Our website is live so if we don't have your size in stock it won't appear. This ring comes in sizes 4-10. If you wish to order a size that doesn't appear on the list please email email@example.com or call 1-888-IRISH-55 or 651-222-5151.

Gary Ablett ablett
Are there two sets of rules when it comes to star players at clubs? Do they get preferential treatment to others? The answer is yes. It's undeniable. It's been a part of sport for eternity.
While the landscape has changed in the way clubs and coaches go about their business, some still have their untouchables.
You only have to look at the Essendon situation and their favourite son James Hird. Would anyone else other than Hirdy still be at the club if he wasn't one of the Bombers' most loved?
By no means am I suggesting that he shouldn't be there until the ASADA case is done and dusted, but who, other than Hird, would have survived this far?
Which leads me to the best player in the competition and arguably the best onballer the game has seen, Gary Ablett.
No one is disputing how good Ablett is and how well he prepares for the game. In fact it's obvious that his individual preparation that includes his diet, lifestyle and recovery results in exceptional performances. Although recent murmurings coming out of Queensland make me wonder if there is actually still room for improvement for the dual Brownlow medallist.
Whispers from within the club's walls tell me that there is one rule for Ablett and one rule for the rest of the Suns players. They can be the smallest things, yet mean so much to an impressionable, young and talented group. Important to the team success is that the captain attends all team sessions; weights, ice baths, recovery and warm-up sessions, and also accepts criticism from the coach in front of the group.
The captain preferring to warm-up for training sessions by shooting hoops doesn't send the right message to the team. Although these sessions may not sound as important as his on-field leadership, they still have a profound effect on such a young group.
They teach players to learn about their body and how to best prepare it for sustainable success on the ground, which Ablett clearly does very well. They're also lessons about responsibility, dedication, hard work and humility.
I'm not suggesting that there is discontent at the Suns, but there is certainly whispers among the playing group that "that's Gary and Gary can get away with it because, well, he's Gary!"
In hindsight, I now see clearly that rules were also bent for me. Although not the same rules, it still created a form of elitism. Jibes in the locker room ensued and I was nicknamed at one point Steve Seagal – "above the law".
In the thick of it, there are many people in football clubs that don't have the courage to confront their star players and tell them where it's really at.
The Suns' coach, Guy McKenna, will deny any suggestion his superstar is getting preferential treatment, but to hear the murmurs within the club tells me that the rules may be being bent for the Gold Coast champion.
It's easy to see why Ablett would be afforded special treatment and his every wish. He's been a star for the club both on and off the field. He earns more $1 million a year and is worth that and more.
The impact that he's had on the playing group in his brief years at the Suns has transformed them into a genuinely competitive team. From afar, he appears the epitome of what leadership is all about on the ground.
McKenna should be doing everything in his power to ensure Ablett remains just one of the boys and that all of his excellence in preparation is passed on to his teammates in every session, all of the time.
Ablett might not like, or agree, with some of the sessions the Suns undertake, but he should do them regardless.
He might not like some of the feedback coming his way, but he should take it on the chin. If he has a problem with it, then he should address it privately.
The single most important factor about footy is that it's a team game and you'll usually find that the really good teams are absolutely united in everything they do.
Preferential treatment to any player can cause small fractures.
If there are issues at the Suns, then I wonder how it is affecting the playing group and how they view their coach? Could there be resentment? Will some of these talented, gifted, future stars of the competition expect the same set of rules when they reach the same level as Gazza?
Could you imagine Nathan Buckley or Chris Scott bending the rules for Scott Pendlebury or Joel Selwood?
If it is happening at the Suns, perhaps it is because everyone is still learning. Ablett is three-and-a-half years into the job, as is McKenna as a senior coach.
He may very well finish his career as the greatest onballer the game has ever seen and McKenna a premiership coach in the near future.
In Ablett's case, even being one the greatest, there is always room for improvement.

About Allomancer
This is great!
Senator Wyden, thank you for all your efforts in fighting censorship on the internet. Your actions this past year were a big part of raising awareness on these issues. It's been shown that the people do still have power to enact change, but without spokesmen like you and Senator Issa, who knows if it would have been possible.
Well, I'm not really going to recommend watching anything with the Ultraviolet DRM, but I watched Under the Red Hood on Netflix Instant and it was pretty decent. Don't know if it's still on there, though.
And you still haven't explained how your first post relates in any way to the subject we're discussing.
How does that help your point? Are you trying to say that digital files of movies and music are not cheap goods? I'm just confused.
"While I personally hate online passes and find a lot of DLC to be a deplorable money grab I feel its become the norm to hate on any DLC despite the tremendous extra value this can provide to gamers if it is done right and with respect. Thank you for allowing me to start vocalizing that train of thought."
Well, that is a separate discussion and you may very well have a point there. I've already articulated why I don't think the anger over this game is an overreaction, but there are certainly games that do DLC right.
I have a dog, what's he have to do with this?
"But that leads back to my original point. Why do we assume all devs/publisher did this maliciously and ripped out code originally planned to be part of the main game in order to make an extra dollar. Why is it never assumed that this was designed this way from the start and the only reason they let the devs make this was because it was planned to be DLC."
Total straw man. We're not assuming all devs/publishers took out what was supposed to be in the main game, we're assuming this particular dev/publisher did it. And the reason we're assuming it was meant to be in the main game is because they told us from the beginning that it was going to be in the main game. We've been over this before. It wasn't until a week before release that they changed it up and let people know that playable Catwoman was "DLC."
Now sure, it might very well be that they had planned this all along and were counting on it being just an extra. But if that's the case then it was definitely intentionally misleading advertising, and that might be even worse. I see no reason to let them off the hook if that's the case anyway.
It's not like game devs haven't talked about their post-release DLC plans before the games launch before. Just about everybody does these days. And that's fine. If we know that such and such map pack for CoD or so and so extra mission for Borderlands is going to be extra and not included in the main game, that's fine. We can make our decision on whether or not we want to buy that content. The way Arkham City is doing it just makes it seem like they're trying to pull one over on us.
"it is nice to see a company actually be proactive about capturing used games revenue rather than just complain and punish players. Why can't more companies act this way?"
No! Don't encourage them! If you don't want people to sell your stuff used, don't sell a physical product. That's all there is to it. If you sell an object that can be passed around, once you sell it, it's not yours anymore and you don't get any say in what happens to it.
It's certainly possible to create enough value in a non-physical product that people will give up the ability to resell what they buy. Just look at Steam. I can't sell any of the games I buy there, and can't buy any used games, either, but the ability to have access to my games on any computer I want, coupled with the great community features and awesome sales means that I now buy almost all my games through Steam. Taking value away from your products to try to extract rents may be a business strategy, but it's not one that will endear you to your customers. However, adding value will get you the best of both worlds.
On the other hand, I can kind of understand why the game industry is the most vehement in opposition to the used market, because I don't know any other industry where the used reseller is as powerful or heavy-handed as Gamestop. Buying used games for $20-30 and then turning around and selling them for $50+ certainly seems like a rip-off to me. Add to that their constant upselling and badgering you to preorder crap makes it a hassle to even be a Gamestop customer (that's why I'm not anymore). But at the end of the day, it's the consumer they're ripping off, not the publisher. And it's the consumer who has the power to change things. If gamers want to keep getting ripped off by Gamestop, then that's their business. They must be getting some value out of the place, even if I don't see it. That's the free market, though.
How do you know this was made on a budget specifically for DLC? All of the evidence points to the opposite conclusion, actually. First off, the Catwoman content isn't even DLC in the way we traditionally think of it. There's no option to buy a (new) copy of the game for $50 that doesn't have Catwoman, and then you can go buy that if you want it. It's a part of the full game, only if you buy the game used or don't have an internet connection, your copy of the game is gimped.
Then there's the fact that Catwoman was used heavily in the marketing for this game almost from the beginning. There was no mention of the fact that not everybody would have access to her until a week before the game released! It's a total bait and switch, and not at all consumer friendly. It's just a scheme to extort money out of Gamestop, but gamers are the ones who get hurt.
What? Are you trying to say that a treaty that was drafted in secret without any legal oversight from the signatory countries is legally questionable? How could that be? It's preposterous!
Um, okay. It's still dumb, and it still makes the State Department look stupid. If that's the price they're willing to pay for sticking to their rules, then so be it, I guess.
I don't have any problem with Microsoft being investigated for antitrust issues, but why in the world is this case still going? Does Novell even exist anymore? And if they do win, what then? I guess Microsoft will have to pay some money to the company that's already been destroyed, for whatever good that'll do.
Of course, the reason it's gone on so long is probably due to Microsoft dragging it out anyway (just a guess), but the whole thing is ridiculous.
I don't care what other people call trolls, my observation came from my personal definition of a troll, ie, someone who posts something inflammatory with little to no evidence to back it up.
And it has nothing to do with not wanting to read things I don't agree with. I came to this site from a link on Ars Technica. Comparing these comments to the ones there, you find just as much dissension, but not as much evidence. I often learn things from people I disagree with there, not so much here.
But maybe I just haven't been around long enough. I'm certainly willing to stick around to be proven wrong.
I agree that this site seems to have more trolls than most. I know Mike will defend the ability to post anonymously to the death, but looking at these threads, so many posts include name-calling and no reasoning. And almost all of them come from Anonymous Cowards. Not saying that no good posts can come from anonymous sources, but it's hard to avoid the conclusion that it does seem to lead to an increase in troll posts.
It doesn't matter if 99% of them actually did do it, in the US you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, so if that 1% never gets a chance to defend themselves in court because the ruling applies to the entire group, the system has failed. That's why so many of these cases are being thrown out, it doesn't make sense to try them all together for acts which they did individually, regardless of the fact that they used a technology that requires other people to participate in order to work.
You're right that the social stuff is not being fully utilizes by anybody for video, but the rest of what you mentioned is being done by Amazon with their Instant Video (Apple, too, although I'm not as familiar with the way iTunes does video). The main problem with Amazon is the pricing. For people who are used to paying a fixed subscription to get access to large amounts of content, either with cable or stuff like Netflix, paying $3.00 per episode of a TV show is pretty steep.
And with movies, the fact that it's still more expensive to rent a movie online than it is to go out and get an actual disc from Redbox or Blockbuster is ludicrous. I'm sure they think it's adding value for convenience, but for me that doesn't come close to making up for the fact that it costs them almost nothing for the distribution of the content when.
Steam has been wildly successful for a number of reasons, the social aspect of that is certainly a huge part, but no less important is the pricing. While the default pricing for games on Steam is in line with retail for the most part, they have sales going on all the time that give ridiculously good deals. And these sales are obviously working for the publishers of the games, I've hear plenty of devs talk about how their revenue (revenue, not units sold) spikes when they participate in one of those sales, and even when the sale is over they still have increased revenue compared to before.
Thank you for that explanation of what's required for a motion to dismiss. Once more the comments to the article prove just as, if not more, informative than the article itself!
This is from Mike's paragraph: "A new academic study has backed us up with empirical evidence that DRM hurts sales, and removing DRM actually tends to decrease infringement, because the product is more valuable to buy." So, yes, he does say it's empirical evidence, which it's not, but that doesn't mean it's worthless, just that more research is needed.
I appreciate you bringing this study to our attention, but unfortunately, there's actually no "empirical evidence" of any kind in this study. Ars Technica did a much more in depth analysis of the study the other day, and it explains that this is actually just a model the researchers are using to predict likely behavior in the market. They didn't actually gather any data.
(link: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/10/a-game-we-all-win-dumping-drm-can-increase-sales-whi le-reducing-piracy.ars)
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing the study, we just need to realize the limitations on what conclusions we can draw from it. Models are important, but they're only really useful to the extent that they help us explain the real world (ie, data). I hope someone does take this model and compares it to actual data, that will be the next step.

In the past Microsoft has been hostile to the open source movement. But At OSCON, Microsoft announced their sponsorship of "The Apache Software Foundation", joining Google and Yahoo! at Platinum level. Microsoft donated US $100k (minimum requirement, MS did not disclose how much money it had contributed) to Apache foundation. This sponsorship will enable the ASF to pay administrators and other support staff so that ASF developers can focus on writing great software.
According to Sam Ramji:
It is not a move away from IIS as Microsoft's strategic web server technology. We have invested significantly in refactoring and adding new, state-of-the-art features to IIS, including support for PHP. We will continue to invest in IIS for the long term and are currently under way with development of IIS 8.
It is a strong endorsement of The Apache Way, and opens a new chapter in our relationship with the ASF. We have worked with Apache POI, Apache Axis2, Jakarta, and other projects in the last year, and we will continue our technical support and interoperability testing work for this open source software.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday led a tribute on Capitol Hill to the late GOP Sen. Warren Rudman of New Hampshire, recalling him as "forthright, frugal and fair."
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, Sen. John McCain of Arizona and former Supreme Court Justice David Souter, a close Rudman friend from New Hampshire, were among many friends and former colleagues from both parties at the memorial event.
Rudman, who died Nov. 19 at 82, co-authored a ground-breaking budget balancing law, championed ethics and led a commission that predicted the danger of homeland terrorist attacks before 9/11.
The feisty former New Hampshire attorney general went to the Senate in 1981 with a reputation as a tough prosecutor, and was called on by Senate leaders, and later by presidents of both parties, to tackle tough assignments.
"His honesty could be searing," Biden said, but Rudman also showed deep compassion and faith in the dignity and wisdom of ordinary Americans.
McCain praised Rudman's character, his lack of pretense and his willingness to buck his party when he felt Republicans were wrong.
"Besides being gruff, irascible, blunt and impatient ... Warren Rudman, first and last, was a man of integrity."
Souter saluted the independence and courage of Rudman, a combat veteran of the Korean War.
"There was no one on the face of the earth he was afraid of," Souter said.
Rudman, at the same time, never hated those he disagreed with, said Souter.
"What he'd do instead is stick his hand out," Souter said.
Reid said Rudman, who was Jewish, learned to be tough at an early age battling bigots, but added "his rough exterior belied such a soft manner."
"When I think of him, the word irrepressible comes to mind," said Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii.

When Chestnut Hill resident Peter Gonzales talks about his new role as president and CEO of the Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians (www.welcomingcenter.org), he speaks of everyone except himself. His are the stories of immigrants to the Philadelphia region who are small business owners and workers contributing to the region's economy.
He tells of the Albanian doctor that obtained a medical degree in Italy and visited the Welcoming Center shortly after arriving in the U.S. The center's Employment Services Office helped get him a job in his professional field. They connected him with a CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) training program, and he has been working in a nursing home while preparing to take his board exams.
"It is not a simple process to start practicing medicine in a new country," Gonzales said. "It takes time to evaluate a foreign diploma, get work licenses, learn culture, improve English, learn professional terminology, and for him, take the boards – day by day he gets closer to his dream."
The Welcoming Center assists many highly skilled workers – accountants, teachers, engineers – as they struggle to transfer their professional credentials to the United States. Like other employment assistance organizations, the center offers career mapping, career counseling, skills workshops, and networking opportunities.
Other job seekers receive computer training, English classes, and assistance learning about American business culture.
"For many of our clients, America starts at this office," Gonzales said as he tells of a man from Mauritania, who opened a food store in West Philadelphia and attended the center's "English for Entrepreneurs" course. Its greatest benefit was teaching the cultural practices of this country. He now understands the importance of eye contact and shaking hands with customers. As a result, he has seen an increase in sales and has built stronger social connection with his customers and neighbors.
Last year, the Welcoming Center helped 367 individuals get placed in jobs. Many of them will return to the center for assistance in getting their next job, generally at a higher level with greater challenge. Sixty-to-seventy percent of the work-authorized clients that come to the Welcoming Center for job placement are placed at the over 160 employers in the region.
"Ultimately, we are all about economic development," Gonzales said. He explains that by connecting these new Americans with economic opportunities, they become more integrated into their communities and, in time, more civically engaged.
Gonzales is a Temple Law Graduate and Immigration Attorney. Recognized as a Pennsylvania Super Lawyers Magazine Rising Star in 2008 and 2011, he founded Gonzales Tiagha, Attorneys at Law in 2009. Previous to entering private practice, Gonzales directed Project H.O.M.E.'s community economic development program and worked at the City of Philadelphia Law Department, where he assisted the City Solicitor as a member of the Executive Management Team.
His most recent community work involved a three-year appointment to the Philadelphia Zoning Board of Adjustment. It was in this capacity that he witnessed many immigrants struggle in their efforts to start a new business.
"They came in front of the board unprepared and unfamiliar with the licensing and zoning procedures" he said. "The center works to reduce these types of barriers that prevent immigrants from opening a business."
Since its inception in 2003, the center has served more than 9,000 men and women from 140 countries around the world and placed more than 1,400 legally work-authorized immigrants in jobs. In 2011, the center focused its small business work on Philadelphia's commercial corridors, specifically 52nd Street (135), Washington Avenue (97), Woodland Avenue (63), and Lancaster Avenue (54).
Gonzales, who calls his work "really exciting," is focused on raising awareness of the economic impact that immigrants can have on the local and regional economy.
"I joined the board of the Welcoming Center in 2011 and knew I was 'home'," Gonzales said. "My current roles takes all my skills and experiences and give me the opportunity to work one on one every day to help immigrants to be fully integrated, become successful entrepreneurs, to support their families, and become community leaders."
Gonzales' legal training is an asset in his new job. The Welcoming Center provides free monthly legal clinics (and translation services) where clients receive private consultations with immigration lawyers and referrals to legal-aid organizations.
These clinics cover immigration issues and specialty clinics held throughout the year address real estate, small business, and family law topics. Last year alone, 80 hours were donated by area lawyers who were assisting immigrants from Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, Liberia, Mali and Ecuador.
The future is bright at the Welcoming Center. Over 140 individuals were placed in jobs during the first quarter of this year. Gonzales looks forward to enhancing existing programs, supporting more immigrant entrepreneurs and spreading the stories of the Center's clients. "We want to show that our immigrants are real assets to the community," he said.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18 — The Opportunity rover used its robotic arm to inspect a freshly dug hole on Mars, while its twin, Spirit, rolled into a shallow depression halfway around the Red Planet, NASA said Wednesday.
Opportunity examined the 4-inch-deep (10-centimeter-deep) trench it scooped out with one of its six wheels, measuring the composition of the clumpy soil and photographing it with a microscopic imager.
The trench is intriguing because it is not uniform, with the bottom appearing different from the walls, project manager Richard Cook said. Scientists chose the trench site because earlier observations revealed it is rich in hematite, an iron-bearing mineral that typically forms in water.
Measurements should reveal whether the mineral is limited to the surface or present throughout the soil. Scientists could also turn up evidence of other minerals that might point to past water activity.
On the other side of the planet, Spirit passed the halfway mark of its planned 90-day mission. Spirit rolled into a shallow depression, nicknamed Laguna Hollow, after completing a 63-foot (19-meter) drive. The dust-filled depression is probably an impact crater.
NASA is sending Spirit on a trek to a larger crater about 500 feet (150 meters) away. Spirit could reach the crater within a couple of weeks, depending on how many stops it makes to look around on the way there, Cook said.
Spirit and Opportunity both could last 180 days or longer, depending on the effects of the freeze-thaw cycles the spacecraft must endure each day. The rovers' exteriors can range from a low of minus 139 degrees to a high of 50 degrees Fahrenheit. (-95 to 10 degrees Celsius).

Assistive devices and orthotics are tools that help you hold objects,
open and close things, transfer weight while shifting positions, or walk. It is
important to find a balance between use and rest of a painful (arthritic)
joint. When exercise is not enough to control pain, assistive devices and
orthotics may help to reduce stress on a joint by shifting weight off of the
joint. The Arthritis Foundation at 1-800-283-7800 or a medical supply company
may be able to help you find assistive devices.
Assistive devices should be used in combination with exercise.

Organization Wednesday: Extra Room in the Fridge
Posted by

Arg, as you can see, this was not the most organized Wednesday and I'm running about 12 hours behind schedule! It was an odyssey of breaking a drafting table thing, buying a new one, setting it up, getting distracted with projects, grocery shopping, and then trying to fit all of the tall stuff in my fridge. Which leads me to today's topic – squeezing every inch of space out of that puppy.
O.K. seriously, does anyone besides Jeff Lewis have a fridge that is this organized?
Sometimes it's the little things. Let me say I have an old energy and spatially inefficient fridge and I know I should get a new one but I really want a red or yellow Big Chill Fridge and I'll never have the money so there you have it. I mean, buying a whole bunch of shoes or going on a trip is just so much more exciting than buying a major appliance. Anyway, whether you've got some fancy-dancy duel door Ferrari of a fridge or a rusty old icebox, you're probably wasting space.
Take a good look at your refrigerator and figure out why everything is so crammed. I'm not saying you have to clean the whole sucker out (though that's a good project that should take under an hour and give you a huge feeling of satisfaction). We're just going to do a quick assessment. The other day I longed to be able to put some bevvies in the door, and could not find a spare inch. It was because the door was jam-packed with lord knows what kind of condiments I just assumed I still needed. I had about a millimeter of disgusting sugar free syrup. I had five year old mustard. I had BBQ sauce and fancy Dijon mustard my friend Chrissy asked me to stow for her about two years ago when the tree fell on her kitchen and her fridge was unplugged. Natural disasters aside, I think two years equals abandonment. I had soy sauce that was five years old. I dumped out everything, rinsed out the containers for recycling, and had enough door space to store all my sodas, some Pinot Grigio, the new condiments I actually use and some left over.

What You Need to Know About Vapor Intrusion in Beckley, West Virginia
Commercial Buildings and Vapor Intrusion
Commercial buildings located throughout the United States, and particularly in Beckley, West Virginia, are at significant risk of vapor intrusion. This is a serious condition that contaminates the quality of the building's indoor air and places the employees who work at that location at risk of developing life-threatening illnesses, including respiratory conditions and cancer. The most efficient way to determine whether or not a building has indoor pollutants stemming from vapor intrusion is to have it professionally tested and assessed for known contaminants.
What exactly is vapor intrusion? Why is your building exposed to it? Vapor Intrusion (VI) involves the presence of toxic gases within a building's indoor air. The vapors enter the building through cracks or crevices in the foundation, the lower portion of the walls, or the openings of entry points for utilities such as electricity and water supply. The vapors or gases come from either substances found naturally in the ground or from contaminants such as chemicals that seep into the ground from improperly stored substances commonly used during commercial operations. As these vapors enter the building, they commonly build up since they have no viable escape route.
Health Risks of Vapor Intrusion in Beckley, West Virginia
Vapor intrusion poses a serious health risk to anyone who is exposed to it on a regular basis. While high levels of vapor intrusion are generally considered more dangerous than lower levels, each type of occurrence places employees at risk. The presence of additional toxic vapors inside the building, such as those occurring from chemicals used during daily operations, increases the potential risk of developing a life-threatening illness. Since some of the gases do not emit an odor, vapor intrusion may go undetected unless the commercial building is properly tested for its presence.
What Contaminants Are Found in Vapor Intrusion in Beckley, West Virginia
A number of different contaminants are commonly found in the type of vapor intrusion that occurs in Beckley, Virginia. Among them are:
tetrachloroethylene (dry cleaning fluid)
volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
trichloroethylene (TCE)
radon gas
perchloroethylene (PCE or PERC)
natural gas
a variety of other solvents and gases
Treatment for Vapor Intrusion in Beckley, Virginia
If your Beckley, West Virginia business tests positive for vapor intrusion, mitigation strategies are going to be necessary to eliminate the presence of the contaminants from the air. In general, a combination of vapor intrusion mitigation techniques will be incorporated into the building's design. Your mitigation specialist will discuss these options with you. In general, some form of pressure equalization is necessary to eliminate the vacuum within the building that draws the toxic gases to it. The active soil depressurization method is commonly used for this aspect of vapor intrusion mitigation. If the chemicals are toxic, non-explosive fans will also be incorporated to dispel the gases. If only non-toxic chemicals are present, normal-grade fans will be used.

Did anyone misplace a blue mast about 170 km west of Darwin, Australia last year? If so, call Bill Passey from Australia Bay Seafoods to pick it up. Passey said one of his ground trawlers had a huge snag last week in 90 meters of Timor Sea while fishing for snapper, and after about six hours of tugging, 'something finally gave way." The fisherman hauled up a mast and sails that have become quite the mystery over the past few days. Northern Territories water police are taking this thing seriously; while they can't find any unaccounted-for Australians in their database, the boat could be from anywhere.
Springing to mind immediately is the tragic loss of the classic gaffer Nina last year; the timing works out but the mast color and location don't. One Anarchist suggested the mast may have fallen off a Fremantle to Bali Race competitor last May; the timing and location both work for this one, we can't find any that fit the mast profile.
A huge percentage of Australia's racers read Sailing Anarchy, so spread the news around amongst your friends and let's see if we can solve this mystery. Brainstorm in the thread here, and thanks to Bill E Goat for the heads up. Here are the full details reported so far:
-Mast color: Blue
-Timing: "8-10 months in the water", according to a shellfish expert's examination
-Location: 170 km West of Darwin
-Depth: 90 meters
-Sails: "Match a type made by a boutique sailmaker in Sydney"
-Hardware: "Stainless rings on mast (maybe spinnaker pole mounts?) made in Auckland"

As each of the first five weeks of the current Sprint Cup season has gone by, one question has continued to increase in frequency and urgency: What's wrong with Hendrick Motorsports? The same organization that has claimed the last two Cup season championships and won an incredible 18 of 36 races last season has yet to reach victory lane in 2008. If statistics and past history are any indication, HMS will not be 0-for-6 after Sunday's Goody's Cool Orange 500 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway.
As each of the first five weeks of the current Sprint Cup season has gone by, one question has continued to increase in frequency and urgency: What's wrong with Hendrick Motorsports? The same organization that has claimed the last two Cup season championships and won an incredible 18 of 36 races last season has yet to reach victory lane in 2008. If statistics and past history are any indication, HMS will not be 0-for-6 after Sunday's Goody's Cool Orange 500 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway. If there's any track that Hendrick drivers Jeff Gordon and defending two-time Cup champ Jimmie Johnson have dominated at, it's the little half-mile bullring in southern Virginia. In 30 career starts on NASCAR's oldest active race track, Gordon has seven wins as well as 18 top-five and 24 top-10 finishes. He comes into Sunday's race ranked 14th in the points standings. Johnson, meanwhile, is one spot ahead of Gordon in the standings in 13th place. He has just 12 career starts at NASCAR's smallest-capacity oval track (65,000 seats), with four wins (including the last three races held there), plus eight top-five and 11 top-10s. All told, Gordon and Johnson have combined to win eight of the past 10 races at Martinsville. Newcomer Dale Earnhardt Jr., who is currently the highest-ranked HMS driver in the Cup standings (fifth place), hasn't been half-bad at Martinsville during his previous stint with former team Dale Earnhardt Inc., either. While Junior has yet to win his first race there, he has seven top-five finishes in 16 career starts. Add all those numbers together, and the odds seem very strong in favor of the Hendrick crew to finally break through to victory lane for the first time in 2008. "We certainly are not in a panic," Gordon said. "I feel great about our race team. (We're) doing what we need to be doing right now. We are just going to keep trying to push it and be better." Martinsville has been the site of many exciting races over the years, but none more dramatic in recent memory than last April's race. In only the second race for the new-fangled Car of Tomorrow, Johnson and Gordon took part in a fierce fender-banging battle in the closing laps before Johnson's No. 48 Chevrolet got the final upper hand. That's exactly the same scenario we're likely to see this Sunday. And with Earnhardt now in the mix, we could see a Hendrick version of what we saw in the last Cup race, two weeks ago at Bristol: a one-two-three finish by the same team. At Bristol, it was Richard Childress Racing teammates Jeff Burton, Kevin Harvick and Clint Bowyer who crossed the finish line one after the other for the first time in RCR team history. Sunday at Martinsville, there's a very good chance that the top three Hendrick drivers could equal RCR's performance at Bristol. And, who knows, the fourth Hendrick driver, Casey Mears, may even wind up getting into the mix, potentially meaning a 1-2-3-4 HMS domination. It won't be easy, though. Martinsville is known to be the hardest track on the circuit on tires and brakes. And with the new car still getting the kinks worked out, especially on short-to-medium-size tracks, Sunday's race could be anything from an easy ride in the country to a downright free-for-all. Johnson, who has admittedly struggled early on, is primed to get back into his Martinsville groove for Sunday. "Once the race starts, it always comes back to me," Johnson said. "I know what I'm looking for, and I know what that rhythm is for the 500 laps we make there, and I can usually get good performances out of it." If a Hendrick driver does not win at Martinsville, then concern over what's wrong may suddenly have some merit. But if Johnson, Gordon or Earnhardt have anything to say about it, people will go from asking when will HMS finally win this season to how many more are they going to win from here. The likely answer: a lot. Jerry Bonkowski is National NASCAR Columnist for Yahoo! Sports (Yahoo.com) and a featured contributor for Gatehouse News Service. He can be reached at email@example.com. MARTINSVILLE MEANDERINGS - Martinsville awards one of the most unique trophies to race winners in all of sports: a custom-made grandfather's clock. - Next to the close and exciting racing, Martinsville is also known for its famous "Martinsville Dogs:" Jesse Jones-brand bright red hot dogs (thanks to extra red dye coloring) with a hearty covering of chili, mustard, onions and slaw. Oh, yeah, and they're only two bucks each! - Martinsville Speedway is celebrating its 60th year of racing. It's the oldest track on the Sprint Cup circuit.

Can Stomach Cancer Be Prevented?
There is no sure way to prevent stomach cancer, but there are things you can do that could lower your risk.
Diet, nutrition, body weight, and physical activity
The dramatic decline of stomach cancer in the past several decades is thought to be a result of people reducing many of the known dietary risk factors. This includes greater use of refrigeration for food storage rather than preserving foods by salting, pickling, and smoking. To help reduce your risk, avoid a diet that is high in smoked and pickled foods and salted meats and fish.
A diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables can also lower stomach cancer risk. Citrus fruits (such as oranges, lemons, and grapefruit) may be especially helpful, but grapefruit and grapefruit juice can change the blood levels of certain drugs you take, so it's important to discuss this with your health care team before adding grapefruit to your diet.
The American Cancer Society recommends that people eat a healthy diet, with an emphasis on plant foods. This includes eating at least 2½ cups of vegetables and fruits every day. Choosing whole-grain breads, pastas, and cereals instead of refined grains, and eating fish, poultry, or beans instead of processed meat and red meat may also help lower your risk of cancer.
Studies that have looked at using dietary supplements to lower stomach cancer risk have had mixed results so far. Some studies have suggested that combinations of antioxidant supplements (vitamins A, C, and E and the mineral selenium) might reduce the risk of stomach cancer in people with poor nutrition to begin with. But most studies looking at people who have good nutrition have not found any benefit to adding vitamin pills to their diet. Further research in this area is needed.
Although some small studies suggested that drinking tea, particularly green tea, may help protect against stomach cancer, most large studies have not found such a link.
Being overweight or obese may add to the risk of stomach cancer. On the other hand, being physically active may help lower your risk.
The American Cancer Society recommends staying at a healthy weight throughout life by balancing calorie intake with physical activity. Aside from possible effects on the risk of stomach cancer, losing weight and being active may also have an effect on the risk of several other cancers and health problems. The full recommendations can be found in the American Cancer Society Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Prevention.
Avoiding tobacco use
Tobacco use can increase the risk of cancers of the proximal stomach (the portion of the stomach closest to the esophagus). Tobacco use increases the risk for many other types of cancer and is responsible for about one-third of all cancer deaths in the United States. If you don't use tobacco, don't start. If you already do and want help quitting, call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345.
Treating H pylori infection
It is not yet clear if people whose stomach linings are chronically infected with the H pylori bacteria but who do not have any symptoms should be treated with antibiotics. This is a topic of current research. Some early studies have suggested that giving antibiotics to people with H pylori infection might lower the number of pre-cancerous lesions in the stomach and reduce the risk of developing stomach cancer. But not all studies have found this. More research is needed to be sure that this is a way to prevent stomach cancer in people with H pylori infection.
If your doctor thinks you might have H pylori infection, there are several ways to test for this:
- The simplest way is a blood test that looks for antibodies to H pylori. Antibodies are proteins the body's immune system makes in response to an infection. A positive H pylori antibody test result can mean either that you are infected with H pylori or that you had an infection in the past that is now cleared.
- Another approach is to have an endoscopy procedure (see Tests for Stomach Cancer) to take a biopsy sample of the stomach lining. This sample can be used for chemical tests for this kind of bacteria. Doctors can also identify H pylori in biopsy samples seen with a microscope. The biopsy sample can also be cultured (placed in a substance that promotes bacterial growth) to see if H pylori grows out of the sample.
- There is also a special breath test for the bacteria. For this test, you drink a liquid containing urea. If H pylori is present, it will chemically change the urea. A sample of your breath is then tested for these chemical changes.
Aspirin use
Using aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen, seems to lower the risk of stomach cancer. These medicines can also lower the risk of developing colon polyps and colon cancer. But they can also cause serious (and even life-threatening) internal bleeding and other potential health risks in some people.
Most doctors consider any reduced cancer risk an added benefit for patients who take these drugs for other reasons, such as to treat arthritis. But doctors do not routinely recommend taking NSAIDs specifically to prevent stomach cancer. Studies have not yet determined for which patients the benefits of lowering cancer risk would outweigh the risks of bleeding complications.
For people at greatly increased risk
Only a small percentage of stomach cancers are known to be caused by hereditary diffuse gastric cancer syndrome. But it's very important to recognize it, because most people who inherit this condition eventually get stomach cancer. A personal history of invasive lobular breast cancer before age 50 as well as having close family members who have had stomach cancer suggests that they might be at risk for having this syndrome. These people can talk to a genetics professional about getting genetic testing. If the testing shows the person has a mutation (abnormal change) in the CDH1 gene, many doctors will recommend they have their stomach removed before the cancer develops. Another hereditary cancer syndrome with an increased risk for stomach cancer is Lynch syndrome.

Thinking can ruin a good ride, which is what happened to me during my week with the 2013 Infiniti M37xS sedan.
I was distracted by the car's homage to prestige — the extravagant muscularity of its exterior body; the richness of its interior, bedecked with supple leather, Japanese ash wood and brushed-aluminum trim; the weight (a hefty 4,059 pounds minus passengers and cargo) and stiffness of it all.
I get it, I thought. This is a Japanese luxury sedan that wants to be German — better than German, if possible. The German luxury sports cars have all of the prestige. Infiniti, the luxury group of Japan's Nissan Motor Co., wants its share.
Infiniti succeeds in that pursuit with the M37xS, which competes with offerings of luxury all-wheel-drive cars from domestic, Asian and European manufacturers.
But prestige is a tricky thing. In many ways it's like religion. The faithful can pray to the same God in a variety of houses of worship. But when it gets down to preference, they choose their own.
So, too, is the matter of cars and prestige. The M37xS, equipped with a 3.7-liter V-6 (330 horsepower, 270 pound-feet of torque), easily competes with rivals such as the Audi A6, BMW 5-series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class in terms of on-road performance, creature comforts and safety and communications technology. There is no real argument there.
If you worship expensive cars with exceptional speed and handling excellence, the M37xS belongs on your altar. But if you were reared in the Church of BMW, the House of Audi or the Congregation of Mercedes-Benz, you are not likely to stay long or stray too far with the Church of What's Happening Now at Infiniti.
The feeling is markedly different. And feeling is essential to prestige and religion. It has to feel right. And the MX37xS simply doesn't.
It can run as fast as a BMW 5-Series, although that distinction means relatively little in a world governed by strict speed limits. It handles as well as an Audi A6. And it comes with an interior as plush as anything that can be found in a Mercedes E-Class.
The difference is this: When I'm behind the wheel of a 5-Series BMW, I'm not thinking, "This one moves as fast as an Infiniti M37xS." When I'm marveling over the brilliant handling of an Audi A6, I'm not thinking, "This one takes curves as nicely as an M37xS." Or when wrapped in the luxurious womb of a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, I never think, "This is just as nice as an Infiniti M37xS."
But I was making those comparisons with German cars when I was in the M37xS. In the end I found myself wanting to park the M37xS in favor of something genuinely German, or, as was the case, in return for something less pretentiously German, something relatively simple but gifted with most of the technology and amenities — albeit not the power — of a substantially more expensive automobile.
I turned to the 2014 Kia Forte EX compact sedan, newly arrived in my driveway. It was a beautifully sculpted little car. There was nothing the least bit prestigious about it. But it had a nice interior — leather-covered seats, faux carbon fiber accents, good vinyl. It had good safety technology (four-wheel disc brakes) and a modern communications/entertainment system including onboard navigation and high-resolution backup camera.
I experienced a different kind of enjoyment in the Kia Forte, equipped with a 2-liter in-line four-cylinder engine (173 horsepower, 154 pound-feet of torque). I could park it on urban streets, something I wouldn't dare do with the "I'm expensive and prestigious" Infiniti M37xS. I could fill it with regular gasoline, as opposed to premium grade required in the M37xS. And this: The Kia Forte got as many miles per gallon in the city as the M37xS got on the highway — 24 mpg in each case.
The Forte got 36 miles per gallon on the highway.
Granted, these are apples-and-oranges comparisons. But they are the fruits of my thinking this week on the matter of cars and prestige.
What is "prestige"? Does it really matter anymore when it comes to automobiles? Does it make any sense? Will automobile manufacturers have to change their thinking about "prestige"?
It would have been much easier for me to have ignored these thoughts and just drive and enjoy the very enjoyable Infiniti M37xS. But thinking sometimes gets in the way of pleasure.

The rest of the country was taken aback by the spirit shown by Baltimore, as an estimated 200,000 people thronged downtown for the Ravens championship parade on Tuesday. Also taken by surprise: city and team officials, who were woefully unprepared for the sheer number of people who showed up—especially the more-than-capacity crowd that descended on M&T Bank Stadium.
Owner Steve Bisciotti said he expected 30,000 people to attend the free ceremony at the stadium, and that they expected to maybe have to open the upper deck. Instead it quickly became standing-room only, with fans spilling onto the field, and the Ravens had to close the gates. We saw a hint of the pandemonium with this video of fans scaling the outside of the stadium to get in, but it sounds like things were a little Thunderdomish in there.
In one incident, a mother and her two daughters say a group of unruly fans threatened them for their seats:
[I]n Section 119, one section removed from the field where the Ravens entered the stadium, our mother of two was fighting off people who had crashed Gate C intent on taking fans' seats by force if necessary.
"I was physically fighting them off to not trample my children and to trample the other children that were with us. They were yelling racial slurs. They said that if we didn't move, they were going to stab us... like all this craziness."
Ernest Woodward noticed the commotion from his vantage point in the Upper Level.
"They were climbing over the wall where the bleachers are, and that's when they did all that crazy stuff up there."
The mother of two, who will remain anonymous for her own safety, says three rows full of fans and their children had to push past the aggressors, giving up the seats they'd claimed three hours earlier and ultimately leaving the stadium without celebrating anything… except for the fact they had escaped with their lives.
Meanwhile, a mother and her son were trampled by a rush of fans while entering the stadium. Both were knocked unconscious, and 11-year-old Tyrek suffered a concussion and an eye injury.
"I was holding my son's hand, but instantly it was gone," Hodge said in an interview Thursday. "It was too late. They had already trampled on top of us."
After the celebration, a fight three blocks from the parade route escalated into murder. Three teens were stabbed, including one fatally. Police initially said the incident was unrelated to the parade, but all had attended, and surveillance camera footage shows both victims and attackers wearing purple. The mother of the dead 15-year-old criticized police for downplaying her son's murder, to protect Baltimore's reputation as the national media looked on.
Baltimore's police commissioner called the murder a "sad stain on an otherwise excellent performance by the City of Baltimore."
When If the Ravens win another Super Bowl, they'll do things differently. Team president Dick Cass said having the stadium celebration be open to all was a mistake, given the size of the crowd.
"In the future, if we had to do it again, we would have a ticketed event at the stadium," Cass said. "They would be free tickets, but we would hand out tickets so people would know they could get into the stadium. If you didn't have a ticket, you couldn't go. I think that was probably the major potential safety issue. Next time we do this, we'll know better."

Kansas Vital Records
This entry was originally written by Marsha Hoffman Rising, CG, FUGA, FASG and Mary Clement Douglass, CGRS for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
The recording of births and deaths began at the statewide level in July 1911. Marriage records are on file from 1 May 1913 as are divorces from 1 July 1951. These records are located in the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Office of Vital Statistics, Curtis State Office Bldg., 1000 Southwest Jackson, Ste. 120, Topeka, KS 66612-2221. The most current fee (2004) for these certificates was $12 for birth, marriage, and divorce documents, and $13 for death certificates. Divorces that occurred prior to 1951 are in the office of the clerk of the district court in which the case was filed.
Territorial records of marriages and deaths located in Kansas newspapers from 1854 to 1861 were published in several issues of volume 18 of the Kansas Historical Quarterly (1960). Births and deaths were published in volume 19 (August and September 1961), and marriages were published in volume 21 (Summer 1955): 445-86. Reprints are available from the Midwest Historical Genealogical Society, Box 1121, Wichita, KS 67201, and Jefferson County Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 174, Oskaloosa, KS 66066. The First Bicentennial Report of the State Board of Agriculture also lists some vital statistics taken in the territory. Before statewide registration, some births and deaths were kept at the county level. Compliance was inconsistent and sporadic. The researcher should consult the Historical Records Survey'Kansas, entitled Guide to Public Vital Records in Kansas, which lists the location of vital records not held by the Bureau of Vital Statistics. It is divided into type of record'birth, marriage, death, and divorce'and then by county.
As recently as 1987, Kansas law was changed to allow access to records of births, marriages, and deaths that occurred between 1885 and 1913. The Kansas State Historical Society is currently involved in a cooperative microfilming project with the Genealogical Society of Utah. As of 2000, thirty counties have had their records filmed. The film is available at the Kansas State Historical Society, Center for Historical Research (see Kansas Archives, Libraries, and Societies). Published indexes, abstracts, and transcriptions of vital records from a number of sources are in the collections at the society as well.

The March non-farm payrolls report isn't for nearly two weeks, but it's not too early to start banging the drums now, and getting excited.In his Sunday evening note to investors, Morgan Stanley's Joachim Fels discusses the meh recovery, and touches on why the jobs report won't be as hot as previous ones:
Our US team continues to see GDP tracking at a meagre 1.7% in the current quarter, and attributes most of the decent labour market data in recent months to unusually mild winter weather. In fact, the four-week average of initial jobless claims has now been very little changed for a month and the big improving trend from mid-September to mid-February has thus now stalled. Our initial forecast for March non-farm payrolls, due on April 6, is that job growth will moderate to +175k, down from the average +245k gains in the three prior months, with a bigger weather-related payback likely ahead in the spring. Moreover, softer-than-expected housing market data provided a useful reminder that, contrary to a widespread view, the sector that was the epicentre of the Great Recession may still not have bottomed yet. If our cautious view on growth is right, the Fed has more work to do and will likely implement additional easing measures in coming months, with an extension of Operation Twist, including sterilised MBS purchases. All eyes are on Ben Bernanke's speech this Monday at the NABE conference, where he has an opportunity to push back on the market's substantial shifting forward of expectations of the first Fed rate hike to late 2013 or 2014.
On that last point, Bernanke… we'll be covering that tomorrow to get any hints of what the Fed might do.

SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany -- The Air Force inactivated the 81st Fighter Squadron June 18, here, in support of force-shaping procedures across the service. The squadron employed the A-10 Thunderbolt II, and the closure signals the end of A-10 operations in Europe. "For 71 years, the men and women of this fine squadron have ensured America's security," said Col. David Lyons, the 52nd Operations Group commander. "The 81st Fighter Squadron piloted many of the most iconic and legendary aircraft the world has ever seen. It leaves me with one thought -- that whatever ... was provided or whatever mission was demanded, the squadron delivered without question and without fail."
Air Force senior leaders continuously evaluate the branch's units, programs and equipment to determine the readiness and capability of U.S. airpower. The Department of Defense has a responsibility to maintain national security, and protect the interests of the United States and its allies.
However, fiscal constraints stemming from the Budget Control Act of 2011, and reduced defense funding outlined in the 2013 presidential budget required the Air Force to develop a strategic vision for future operations during this financial crisis. Air Force officials submitted a proposal to Congress in 2012. Congress accepted the proposal, and it included in the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, for fiscal 2013. To execute the actions detailed in the NDAA, the Air Force began facilitating activation, reassignment and divestiture actions. In other words, the Air Force merged missions, and cut manning and equipment to stay within its approved budget. The 52nd Fighter Wing now employs only the F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft since the inactivation of the 81st FS and the removal of the A-10s. The F-16 is a multipurpose fighter, meaning it can fight air-to-air and air-to-ground, whereas the A-10 provided only close-air support to ground forces.
"As the world has changed, so has the demand for regional forces," said Lt. Col. Clint Eichelberger, the 81st FS commander. "At one time there were six squadrons of A-10s in Europe with over 140 aircraft and tens of thousands of Cold War ground forces preparing for battle." "Today, the climate has changed in this part of the world," he continued. "And so has the need for conventional forces like the A-10." Eichelberger said that instead of focusing on the somber nature of a squadron's inactivation, today's Airmen should use this historic milestone as a way to celebrate and honor the accomplishments of the 81st FS and the spirit and enthusiasm that has carried the squadron through decades of change. "It's important to know that even though we are closing the doors on our building, the people who worked within the squadron continue to train to increase the combat capability of our Air Force," Eichelberger said. "Specifically, in our case, many of these people will focus on becoming the close-air-support experts that are needed down range to accomplish the mission and help bring our young Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen and Marines home safely."
