As I was saying, before we were so rudely interrupted by baseball's All-Star Game, it's time to see if some of the 16 remaining dancers on "So You Think You Can Dance" can raise the level of their performances and keep from being eliminated. Along with head judge Nigel Lythgoe and judge Mary Murphy, singer Carly Rae Jepsen was the guest judge, if what she did could be called judging. Now there are two things we know Carly Rae can't do — throw out a first pitch and give good critiques to dancers. Oh, well. Bring back Christina Applegate!
After the big opening number, which I thought was a bit weird, there was the standard format: intro, recap of last week, the line-up of dancers and then the announcement of the bottom six by host Cat Deeley, looking casual and cute in a mini-shift. The guys in jeopardy were Alan, Curtis and BluPrint, and the girls in the bottom were Makenzie, Mariah and Jenna. But only Jenna was declared safe and all the rest had to "dance for their lives," which some did well and some not so much. Since no one was cut until the end of the show, there's always the chance to make a better impression.
Nigel made his weekly plug for National Dance Day, which takes place July 27. Since there was no show last week, Cat told us that each dancer would reveal something that no one knew about them as an introduction.
Alexis and Nico — jive
Alexis said she won gold medals in dance and Nico is a soccer enthusiast. Both dancers had the flicks and kicks of the jive down cold, at least for the first half of the routine, but their high energy seemed like it drained away as the dance went on. Nigel thought they started well but commented on their loss of energy about halfway through, Mary said she enjoyed the routine and Carly Rae said she was very impressed. Hopefully, the voters will remember this routine since the first one of the show often gets forgotten.
Jenna and Tucker — contemporary
Jenna is a cupcake baker and Tucker likes to dress in weird costumes, but neither trait had anything to do with the beautiful routine that was choreographed by Travis Wall. Jenna had to deal with her arms being attached to red velvet straps hung from the ceiling while dancing with Tucker, but both did an amazing job. Mary thought the routine was spectacular and was so overcome with emotion that she could only whisper, "hot tamale train! woot woot!" Carly Rae said it was "really beautiful" and Nigel, who gave the pair a standing ovation, called it "an incredible routine," and said Jenna was just brilliant and Tucker was magnificent. I guess he liked it.
Mariah and BluPrint — jazz
Krumper Mariah said she once was a girly-girl cheerleader and BluPrint is a champ at pencil drumming. Huh? This routine, with columns and a "goddess loving a mortal" theme, was supposed to be a jazz number, but I don't think either dancer really pulled it off. Carly Rae, however, called it "striking and powerful." Nigel said it had a hip-hop flavor and it was "good-ish," but when he mentioned great names in jazz, both dancers looked blank. While Mary said she loved the beginning and how the pair was in sync with each other, she said it "lacked a bit toward the end."
Malece and Alan — hip-hop
Although she's petite, Malece said she could outeat a truck driver, and Alan said he cries easily. Maybe Alan should toughen up since Malece out-danced him, step after step. For someone who is a contemporary dancer, she really had the swagger that Nigel is always looking for in hip-hop. She is quickly becoming one of the favorites. Nigel told Alan that he was stiff, not aggressive and confident. During rehearsal, Malece said that she often thought they were doing different dances. Both Nigel and Mary hated Alan's low-crotch pants, and Mary added that she didn't think Alan "grabbed onto the style," but that Malece was awesome. Carly Rae said Malece was "incredible."
Hayley and Curtis — contemporary
Hayley was a beauty queen, Curtis plays basketball, and both had to work with a 15-foot, wobbly* ladder during their routine. Mary said she loved the number, but really got on Curtis about how he didn't listen to her last week about keeping his shoulders down. She did tell him that his partnering skills had improved. Carly Rae commented on the chemistry between the two dancers and then there was the awkward moment of the show. As Cat teased the pair about a "date night" and Curtis admitted that he took Hayley out for sushi to "work on their connections," the camera focused on Hayley's dad in the audience, looking daggers at Curtis. Wow! Nigel also told Curtis that he was disappointed in his shoulders, that they ruined the routine, and that he was disappointed in Curtis' solo, too. Hayley, on the other hand, was magnificent.
Amy and Fik-Shun — "hobo" jazz
After Amy told how she loved fishing and hanging with her dad, and Fik-Shun told of his skill in martial arts, the pair danced my absolutely favorite routine of the night. Mary and Carly Rae gave them a standing ovation, and Carly Rae said they were absolutely adorable and made it look easy. Nigel praised both dancers on enormous growth, called them the couple to beat and said, "The pair of you lit up the stage." He also wondered aloud if Prince William and Kate would name their baby, Fik-Shun, after seeing the routine on YouTube. Mary told Fik-Shun he looked like he was having the time of his life, that Amy was spectacular and the pair was on … the "Hot Tamale Train," complete with a loud "Woot, woot!" and screams as only Mary can do.
Makenzie and Paul — hip-hop
Paul is an artist, Makenzie loves actor James Franco, whom she thinks Paul resembles. This routine turned hip-hop into sexy-hop, to the extent that Nigel was a bit flustered and put the pair on his own "Hot Tamale Train," naming it the sexiest routine of the evening. He also gave kudos to all of the choreographers on the show. Mary said the Nigel was "100 percent right for once," and that Paul found "the soul in your bowl" with his hip moves. Carly Rae said it was "incredible choreography."
Jasmine and Aaron — the dreaded quickstep
Jasmine said she was a tomboy but not anymore, and Aaron talked about his love of music. Whatever is the magic ingredient, these two dancers are like two parts of a whole. They took the quickstep and beat it into submission. Mary said she was going crazy, that they were "really, really super for the most part" and fantastic. Carly Rae said they "made it look easy" and they were very impressive, and Nigel thought they were great. He added that the two were originally put together because of their height but they've really made a beautiful couple. This was my second-favorite routine of the evening, mostly because they didn't let themselves be scared of the dance style.
And just like that, it was time to send someone home. The five dancers in jeopardy lined up, and Nigel said, "This is not a dance show. It's a dance competition." The boys were first, and after he scolded both Alan and Curtis, he told animator Dorian "BluPrint" Hector that it was his last show, but that he would see him in the finale. Wow, was that supposed to make him feel better? Then it was on to the girls — since Makenzie had made such a sexy impression with her routine, krumper Mariah Spears was left with the short straw and would be going home. I'm OK with Mariah, but for a second week, a dancer who doesn't listen to advice, like Curtis, is kept while another is sent home.
Do you agree with who was eliminated? Who are your favorites so far? Who do you think will make it to the end?
Congratulations to "So You Think You Can Dance" and its cousin, "Dancing With the Stars," on garnering several Emmy nominations — seven for SYTYCD and nine for DWTS. Both shows received nods in the "Outstanding Reality Program" category and so did their hosts, Cat Deeley and Tom Bergeron, in the "Outstanding Host" category.
For "Outstanding Choreography," four nominations went to SYTYCD's geniuses for their entire season's work — Sonya Tayeh, Mandy Jo Moore, Travis Wall and "NappyTabs" (Napoleon and Tabitha D'umo), while two nods went to DWTS, both to Derek Hough. However, one of Derek's was with SYTYDC's Allison Holker (Season 2), so I guess it's 4.5 for SYTYCD and 2.5 for DWTS.
Both shows scored nominations in the "Outstanding Lighting Design/Lighting Direction for a Variety Series" category. And DWTS earned nods in four other technical categories: "Outstanding Art Direction for Variety or Non-Fiction Programming," "Outstanding Hair Styling for a Multicamera Series or Special," "Outstanding Makeup for a Multicamera Series," and "Outstanding Technical Direction, Camera Work, Video Control for a Series."
The Emmy Awards will be in September. Let's hope all the eligible voters are dancing fans! See you next week.

Aging: Public Policy
Jeanette C. Takamura
Public policy advances in the field of aging in the United States have lagged compared to the growth of the older adult population. Policy adjustments have been driven by ideological perspectives and have been largely incremental. In recent years, conservative policy makers have sought through various legislative vehicles to eliminate or curb entitlement programs, proposing private sector solutions and touting the importance of an "ownership society" in which individual citizens assume personal responsibility for their economic and health security. The election of a Democratic majority in the U.S. House and the slim margin of votes held by Democrats in the U.S. Senate may mean a shift in aging policy directions that strengthens Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, if the newly elected members are able to maintain their seats over time. The results of the 2008 presidential election will also determine how the social, economic, and other policy concerns will be addressed as the baby boomers join the ranks of older Americans.
Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias
Carole B. Cox
Dementia is not a disease, but a group of symptoms so severe that they inhibit normal functioning. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia in older persons impacting not only the person with the illness but the entire family. Obtaining an accurate diagnosis is essential in order to assure appropriate and timely care and to exclude reversible causes of dementia. Social workers can play key roles throughout the course of the illness as educators, therapists, supporter and advocates for improved policies and services.
Collaborative Care
Ellen Fink-Samnick
The past two decades have witnessed a surge in the growth of initiatives and funding to weave physical and behavioral health care, particularly with identification of the high costs incurred by their comorbidity. In response, a robust body of evidence now demonstrates the effectiveness of what is referred to as collaborative care. A wide range of models transverse the developmental lifespan, diagnostic categories, plus practice settings (e.g., primary care, specialty medical care, community-based health centers, clinics, and schools). This article will discuss the foundational elements of collaborative care, including the broad sweep of associated definitions and related concepts. Contemporary models will be reviewed along with identified contextual topics for practice. Special focus will be placed on the diverse implications collaborative care poses for the health and behavioral health workforce, especially social workers.
Disability: Overview
Romel W. Mackelprang
Characteristics that we contemporarily define as disabilities have existed in the human population from earliest recorded history. Societal explanations for disability have varied greatly by time and populations in which disabilities have occurred. At various times in history, disability has been viewed as a blessing from deity or the deities, a punishment for sin, or a medical problem. Social workers have worked with persons with disabilities from the inception of the profession, and in recent years, social work has begun to embrace the concept of disability as diversity and to treat disability as diversity and welcome disabled persons as fully participating members of society. Social work has begun welcoming persons with disabilities as fully participating members of society, including valuable members of the profession.
Food (In)Security
Maryah Stella Fram
This entry provides an overview of current knowledge and thinking about the nature, causes, and consequences of food insecurity as well as information about the major policies and programs aimed at alleviating food insecurity in the United States. Food insecurity is considered at the nexus of person and environment, with discussion focusing on the biological, psychological, social, and economic factors that are interwoven with people's access to and utilization of food. The diversity of experiences of food insecurity is addressed, with attention to issues of age, gender, culture, and community context. Finally, implications for social work professionals are suggested.
Health Disparities
Valire Carr Copeland and Sandra Wexler
Despite technological advances and changes in healthcare delivery, some groups in the United States continue to have better health-related outcomes than others. This article discusses health disparities—differences in health status and healthcare utilization that are influenced by complex social structural, economic, and cultural factors. Illustrations are offered of health disparities found among diverse populations in this country. The "problem" with health disparities is then explored. From an ethical standpoint, health disparities can be seen as unjust. From a cost perspective, health disparities exact not just a financial toll that is borne by society, but individual, group, and community consequences, as well. From a human rights vantage, health disparities can further disadvantage people who are already vulnerable and marginalized—health disparities can cost people their lives. Factors contributing to health disparities, commonly referred to as social determinants, are reviewed. Finally, future directions, including social workers' role as advocates, are considered.
HIV/AIDS: Children
Larry D. Icard, Jacqueline J. Lloyd, and Gisoo Barnes
HIV/AIDS has introduced an array of issues and needs for children, youth, and their families. Family-focused interventions have emerged as a viable strategy for researchers and practitioners seeking effective and appropriate responses for the prevention, treatment, and care of children, youth, and families affected by HIV/AIDS. This discussion provides an overview of the epidemiology of HIV infection among children and youth, and highlights common elements and trends in the development, implementation, and testing of family-focused interventions. The discussion concludes with a commentary on areas for future attention.
Home Health Care
Goldie Kadushin
Home health care is professional medical and non-medical care delivered in the home (home refers to a private residence, an assisted living facility, or a group home) to assist ill, injured, or disabled seniors or adults remain safely at home for as long as possible. As the population ages, and the numbers of Baby Boomers age 85 and older increases, it is likely that there will be a growing need for long-term care, including home health care. In this article, the role of social work in home health care is reviewed as it is impacted by sources of payment and demographic characteristics of home care users. Social work assessment and intervention in home health care is also discussed with a focus on effective referral practices.
Life Span: Oldest-Old and Advanced Old Age (After the Age 85)
Judith G. Gonyea
As a result of rising life expectancies, America's older population is itself aging. The U.S. Census Bureau projections suggest that by the middle of the 21st century, more than 40% of Americans aged 65 and older can expect to live to at least the age of 90. Although the oldest-old is a diverse population, advanced old age is associated with a greater risk of experiencing economic hardship, disabling illnesses or health conditions, and social isolation. A growing public policy challenge will be ensuring the economic well-being, the health, and the dignity of society's very oldest citizens.
Maternal and Child Health
Valire Carr Copeland and Daniel Hyung Jik Lee
Social reform efforts of the settlement-house movement have provided, in part, the foundation for today's Maternal and Child Health Bureau's policies, programs, and services. Planning, implementing, and evaluating policies and programs that affect the health and well-being of mothers and children require a multidisciplinary approach. Social workers, whose skills encompass direct services, advocacy, planning and research, community development, and administration, have a critical role to play in improving the health outcomes of maternal and child populations.

Chemical Weapons
Biological Weapons
The Department of Commerce maintains foreign policy export controls on certain chemical precursors use¬ful in chemical warfare. Through the Australia Group (AG), the United States cooperates with other nations in controlling chemical weapons proliferation. The AG has developed a Core List of nine chemicals considered essen¬tial to the development of chemical weapons. The AG also developed a Warning List which identifies 41 precursors which are useful for chemical weapons development. The AG also provides the forum in which the member coun¬tries share information concerning the activities of non¬member countries where the proliferation of these weapons is of concern, including entities that are seeking chemical precursors and related items.
The United States controls all 50 chemical precursors des¬ignated by the AG as useful in chemical weapons produc¬tion. The nine core list chemicals are controlled worldwide, except to the members of the AG and NATO. The remaining 41 chemicals are controlled to selected countries.
The U.S. also maintains unilateral controls on certain bio¬logical organisms and requires an individual validated li¬cense to all destinations except Canada. U.S. Department of Commerce regulations are designed in the form of a "negative" list. The list identifies those organisms that have been determined to be of no or minimal level of haz¬ard. Any organism that is not included on the list is con¬trolled. The U.S. Department of Commerce requires individual validated licenses for the export of Class 2, 3, and 4 organisms to all destinations except Canada. (The higher the class, the greater the toxicity.) License applica¬tions are referred to the U.S. State Department for review and recommendation. Approval or denial is determined by analysis of the application and intelligence input. - Australia Group

Class Rates
- shipping
Shipping rates that apply to cargo covered in a single class of goods as defined in a cargo classification table. Cargo classification tables and rates are usually based on criteria such as weight, bulk, value, perishability, hazard/danger and method of packing - class or kind (of merchandise)
- general
The categorization of merchandise.
- shipping
The assignment of a category to a specific cargo for the purpose of applying class rates, together with governing rules and regulations.
- U.S. Customs
The categorization of merchandise ac¬cording to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS or HTSUS). Classification affects the duty status of imported merchandise.
Classification and valuation of imported merchandise must be provided by commercial importers when an entry is filed. In addition, classification under the statistical suf¬fixes of the tariff schedules must also be furnished even though this information is not pertinent to duitable status. Accordingly, classification is initially the responsibility of an importer, customs broker or other person preparing the entry papers. See Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States - valuation
Classification Societies
- shipping
Classification societies are organizations that survey and classify ships, both during their construction and operation. They are the principal means by which standards of construction and maintenance are enforced and ship certificates can be issued by Flag States.
In order to be registered a ship must be certified to be of a particular type and size and to be maintained to certain minimum standards. Classification societies are licensed by states (national governments) to undertake this work on their behalf. Most states do not insist that ships be glassed. However, without a class there would be con¬siderable difficulties in operating a ship, as class is gen¬erally a requirement of most insurance companies and shippers using the vessel.
The principal classification societies are :
(1) American Bureau of Shipping (U.S.) (ABS)
(2) Bureau Veritas (France) (BV)
(3) China Classification Society (CCS)
(4) Det Norske Veritas (Norway) (DNV)
(5) Germanischer Lloyd (Germany) (GL)
(6) Hellenic Register of Shipping (Greece) (HRS)
(7) Indian Register of Shipping (India) (IRS)

When it comes to Microsoft's software products, it doesn't get much bigger than Windows and Office. On the Windows front, Microsoft had a hugely successful launch of Windows 7 in October of last year. The launch went off without a hitch and the operating system has been well received by consumers and ever-critical members of the press.
The next big software release from Microsoft will be Office 2010. The followup to Office 2007 is roughly six months aways and Microsoft is already revealing the pricing structure for the popular productivity suite.
The Microsoft Office 2010 Engineering blog lists standard (non-upgrade) pricing as follows:
Office Home and Student $149 $119 (Retail Box/Product Key Card)
Office Home and Business $279 $199
Office Professional $499 $349
Office Professional Academic $99 N/A
Those that choose to go the "old fashioned" route and purchase a retail boxed copy will have to pay anywhere from $30 to $150 more to get a DVD, paperwork, and a fancy plastic case.
However, there is a huge downside for those that choose to go the "Product Key Card" route (this gives you an activation key which you must use after downloading a copy of Office directly from Microsoft). While retail boxed copies of Home and Student gives you the ability to install Office on three machines (Home and Business, Professional, and Professional Academic allow installs on two machines), the Product Key Card versions can only be installed on one machine.
If you plan on installing Office on more than one machine, the Product Key Card versions quickly lose their pricing advantage.
At this time, Microsoft has not announced upgrade pricing for Office 2010, but expect the details to be revealed closer to launch time. In the mean time, if you're one of the handful of people that haven't already tried the Office 2010 beta, you can grab it here.

In order to attract the man of your dreams, Suits Made To Measure in Midrand it helps to dress in a way that honors your beautiful body. When I use the word "honor," I don't mean you should dress like a nun or hide yourself in an ankle-length skirt and a turtleneck.
But you should wear only clothes that make the best of your unique

over their waistbands. Not a good look.
Before you hop on whatever trend they're pushing in InStyle magazine,
ask yourself if the look works for you and your beautiful body. I once
read an interview with the actress Sela Ward, Suits To Measure in which she said she
chooses clothes to show off her amazing flat stomach but avoids items that expose her flabby thighs. You see, nobody's perfect!
"Wuthering Heights," I said.
"Really?" he asked. "I just finished Jane Eyre."
And so began a little romance.
Why Do Men Like to Wear Lingerie: Understanding Men's Motivations
Still bewildered, I told my male friend B. this story years later. I
didn't understand why this Adonis chose Glow-in-the-Dark Terry over the
dark lovelies in bikinis.
"I understand completely," B. responded. "The beach was crawling with
girls in bikinis, and you presented something else. A little mystery."
"In a pair of Levis?"
"Yeah," he said. "The guy probably thought, this girl is different. I
want to talk to her."
Does this mean you should throw away your bikini? Heck, no, especially
if you look good in it. But the point is, be true to yourself. Dress to
make the very best of your unique and beautiful body.
You'll attract men who are looking for someone special for a change.
Suits Made To Measure in Midrand ?
Men's wear in the 1920s is not very different from men's business attire today. A good suit, tie, hat, and shoes were all a man needed to dress in the day. Evening events were much more formal will full tuxedos even for a dinner party with friends.
To dress like a man from the 1920's you will need the following:
Suit- Suit jackets were usually single breasted, with minimal buttons, and had an overall loose appearance. Pants were held high on the waist with pleats at the top and cuffs at the bottom. In cool seasons suits were dark grey, blue or brown wile summer colors were white, ivory, pastels and occasionally pink (Gatsby wore a pink suit in novel The Great Gatsby.)
Hat- Men do not wear hats today as they did in the 1920s. Winter hats included the bowler, flat cap (also known as a cab driver hat), panama (felt), or its cousin the Fedora. Summer hats were made of straw, such as the straw Boater (aka Skimmer) or the Optimo Panama hat. Top hats were still used for formal wear.
Shoes- The final defining element of a man's dress was his shoes. Two toned spectator dress shoes were the most appropriate. Fringed tongues and wingtips on Oxfords and Brogues were seen frequently.
Formal Dresses For Men
Most men choose a suits color based off of two factors. The salesman says the color looks good and the man buying the suit can not find anything wrong with it. The problem here is that most men do not know what colors compliment their complexion, and instead of choosing a color that enhances their looks they choose a color that simply fits in.
Have you ever wondered why you see so many men wearing navy blue suits? Its not that this color enhances so many men's natural style; its just men playing the game of safety in numbers. The purpose of this article is to open your eyes to the world of men's suit colors and encourage you to choose a fabric that compliments your individual style.
The Triad: Navy Blue, Black and Charcoal Gray
These three colors dominate the men's suit industry, and for good reason. Most men are complimented by one or more of these dark colors. Dark suits have the ability to seamlessly transition from business to pleasure, in addition to a slimming effect of the silhouette. Let us talk about each color quickly
Navy Blue
Navy blues strength lies in its sheer dominance. Most men own at least one, and if you have ever walked into a business meeting you can be sure more than half the men will be clad in one. But this is its chief weakness; how can you stand out when 90% of your body looks exactly the same as over 50% of the room. We tend to forget that our clothing sends off strong signals, and if you want to be anything but average you want to present yourself as such, not always try to blend in. In addition, those with a very light complexion need to pair navy blue with rich colored shirts; a white or ice blue shirt will drain the color right from their face. Finally, young men are advised to avoid this color as that it has a habit off accentuating youth.
Light Gray
A great spring and summer color that doesn't draw attention to the wearer but instead signals a suave persona confident in his own skin, light gray is an excellent choice for any complexion. Live in a warmer climate? Then light gray is appropriate year round. The light gray suit pairs well with white, light blue, and almost any pale colored shirt, although if you are light complected you may want to go with a bolder hue.
The Classic color of summer. You don't have to be Tom Wolfe to stay cool and look great. White compliments all but the lightest complexions, and even then the right shirt choice can remedy that situation. The key to wearing a white suit is confidence, especially in the United States where a suit in this color is hard to come by.
Where to find all of these fabric colors? Most stores only carry a small selection of the dark colors that they can regularly sell; the good news is that several on-line men's fashion houses can make you a custom suit from one of thousands of fabrics.

Captain's Report
The VX line re-done...
This is textbook Yamaha. Boating families want to get on the water for short money and Yamaha stepped up and delivered. Their VX line is surprisingly affordable but not lacking in performance or style. These are PWCs made by people who get on the water with regular Joe's and listen to what those Joes want in a wet day on the water. So it's no surprise that they've re-engineered the VX lineup to keep those customer feedbacks squarely in mind. For example, the hulls have been stretched four inches at a point just aft of the steering column. This gives a better, more comfortable feel to the handlebars, and allows for a more comfortable stance for your feet.
Next, Yamaha added to the stern platform making it larger and easier to re-board as well as use for a launching pad for swimming, diving, or boarding the tube.Then they loaded in a 1052CC four stroke four-cylinder power plant driving a 155mm high pressure pump. The mirrors were then raised up out of the "hit zone" when docking, and now they're also easier to see what's going on behind you as they're at a much more natural height. Throw in a whopping 15.1 gal. (57 L) of storage and you have a package that's ideal for a family aching to get on the water for a fraction of the price of a sportboat. And because they're so light, they can be towed to the water behind almost anything short of a motorcycle. But… the most notable feature about all watercraft from Yamaha... everything is built by Yamaha. That means that if something should go wrong with your waverunner, Yamaha will stand behind it with no finger pointing to outside vendors.
The VX Sport...
Not only is the VX Sport built up, it's loaded with features, beginning with the multi-function instrument panel. The seat is designed to hold up to three people. The dual mirrors make keeping an eye on the end of the towline a cinch, and the tow hook gives a whole new dimension to tubing.
The VX Sport is 126.8 in (3.22 m) long, 46.1" (1.17 m) wide, and she's 45.7" (1.16 m) high. Her dry weight is only 736 lb (334 kg) and she carries 15.9 gal (60 L) of fuel. And now for the good news... you can have this Yamaha VX Sport in your garage for as little as $8,399.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Yamaha VX Sport (2012-2013) is 53.7 mph (86.4 kph), burning 7.4 gallons per hour (gph) or 28.01 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Yamaha VX Sport (2012-2013) is 31.2 mph (50.2 kph), and the boat gets 10.21 miles per gallon (mpg) or 4.34 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 146 miles (234.96 kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 1052cc Yamaha MR-1.
- Time from 0 to 30 of the Yamaha VX Sport (2012-2013) is 2.6 sec. seconds.

Sun UltraSPARC Microprocessor
The Sun Microsystems UltraSPARC is a 64-bit superscalar processor released in late 1995 with help from Texas Instruments, following the widely successful earlier SPARC (Scalable Processor ARChitecture) designs. Being a scalable chip, as the silicon semiconductor technology improves, the design rules may be tightened, resulting in a more compact layout that takes advantage of innovations without a total redesign of the architecture.
View a medium magnification image of the UltraSPARC processor.
View a high magnification image of the UltraSPARC processor.
The Sun UltraSPARC can issue up to four simultaneous instructions to any of nine units: two integer units, two of five floating-point/graphics units (add, add and multiply, divide, and square root), and two load/store units. Sun added a block move instruction to the UltraSPARC, which bypasses the caches to avoid disrupting stored instructions and data. The Sun UltraSPARC I and II were architecturally the same, but varied in their fabrication technology. The UltraSPARC II features clock speeds ranging from 300 to 480 MHz, and is based on Sun's 0.25-micron semiconductor linewidth process.
The UltraSPARC III concentrates on improved data and instruction bandwidth, instead of addressing the need for in-order execution of instructions. The processor is also able to dispatch six instructions, rather than four, to the functional units in a fourteen-stage pipeline. Equipped with a scalable clock speed between 600 MHz and 750 MHz (for multi-processing), the UltraSPARC III is based on Sun's improved 0.18-micron technology.
The specialized pixel operations (Visual Instruction Set or VIS) of the UltraSPARC can operate in parallel on 8, 16, or 32-bit integer values packed into a 64-bit floating-point register. More advanced than other competing graphics instruction sets, such as the Intel MMX instructions, Hewlett-Packard PA-RISC MAX, and Motorola 88110 graphics extensions, VIS also features dimensional conversion, edge processing, pattern matching, and pixel distance calculations for MPEG encoders.

How to help victims of the flood
Complete coverage:
After three days of flooding, the western parts of Boulder County continue to be largely cut off from help as slides and debris have turned the canyon roads leading to mountain towns all but impassable.
Boulder Sheriff Joe Pelle said slides and surges in the canyons have made most Boulder Canyon and Lefthand Canyon roads impossible to negotiate.
"It's not just that the roads have debris and water," Pelle said. "In some places, the roads are in fact completely gone."
The road situation means towns like Jamestown and Nederland have been cut off from assistance.
Improved weather allowed National Guard helicopters to fly out stranded residents Saturday and crews began trying to punch their way through to the canyon roads. But Pelle cautioned that crews are bracing themselves to find casualties.
"We're assuming there may be further loss of life," Pelle said. "We certainly hope that's not the case, but given the devastation of some of the closed canyons, there is certainly a high possibility of that."
While all of the military helicopters are being used for evacuations and dropping off supplies, incident commander Dan Dallas said some personal aircraft were used for surveillance to get the first real look at the extent of the damage in the canyons.
"We need to help the county get a real awareness of what they've really got," Dallas said.
Pelle asked people not to go into the mountains, to avoid impeding rescue efforts.
"That would be dumb, and also very selfish," Pelle said.
Pelle said it has been frustrating not being able to reach some of the residents in the canyons, especially those calling for help.
"That's a difficult position for us to be in, but that's been the reality these last couple days," Pelle said.
But with military aircraft and with crews continuing to try to clear canyon roads, Pelle said officials hope to be able to get much-needed assistance to those communities.
"Its our hope to touch every doorknob in the next few days," Pelle said.

Customers Just Want to Be Tweeted Right
Jan 29, 2013 9:43 AM PT
It's fairly common practice today for major brands to have a social media team at the ready to respond to customer complaints on social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook.
The practice is so widespread that the Call Center Satisfaction Index (CCSI) report released last week by CFI Group found that call centers should perhaps be renamed "contact centers."
The Contact Center Shift
That is one of the major revelations of the CCSI. For the 2012 survey, CFI Group discovered that non-call service methods including email, Web self-service, chat and other online techniques account for more than 30 percent of customer service engagements.
"What we've seen over the last two or three years are the ways that customers reaching out to companies for service have shifted away from being exclusively calls," Terry Redding, director of development and delivery for CFI Group told CRM Buyer. "For the first time these non-call service channels have exceeded that 30 percent mark."
Email and Web chat are among the top non-call actions consumers take when reaching out to companies. Interactions on social media are not always directed at the company, but more consumers are using social media to voice issues with brands and companies, and those companies are listening.
"Only about 15 percent of companies are actively using social media to reach out to their customers," Redding said. "It is a damage control mechanism. We're not seeing social media as a way that customers are attempting to get in touch with companies, but companies are monitoring for the bad buzz, and their service people are reaching out to these people."
Damage Control in Social Media
A recent example of a company responding to customer criticism via social media involved clothing retailer The Gap. Consumers tweeted that a certain style of jean was ripping at the crotch. The Gap did not immediately engage customers, but eventually addressed the issue.
"Companies like The Gap turned it around and showed they were being attentive," Josepf Haslam, senior digital strategist at DragonSearch, told CRM Buyer. "People see they are getting back to customers. They want to see that it's handled in a timely manner."
The social media channel is emerging as a way for consumers to get attention from brands when they need resolution. Social media also gives consumers a voice, and a much louder voice than simple word-of-mouth.
"You're going to tell friends and neighbors, and that's going to influence people. You're going to impact, say, 10 people's buying decisions," said Haslam. "Social media amplifies that."
Solve the Problems in Public
That power may prove a much more satisfying first point of contact for customers because it's better than the alternative of navigating commands on a help line and waiting on hold.
When customers do use social media to get a company's attention or initiate a complaint, how do brands handle the next step? Do they try to resolve the problem transparently via the same social networks, or is the conversation promptly taken to a more private mode such as phone or email?
"Anecdotally, what I'm hearing is that they're actually trying to handle those offline," said Redding. "It's not, 'let's solve it for the whole world to see.' It's more, 'let's take it offline before you say more bad things publicly.'"
While it's understandable that companies, and consumers, would want to move to a more private line of communication, Haslam advises that companies "close the loop." He used a personal example involving his own customer service complaint registered via social media.
"If they were smart, they would have gotten back to me on Twitter, thanked me, and I would have tweeted back. If they were really smart, they would save that [tweet] as a favorite." Saving those conversations helps future customers look at the brand's profile and see how issues are resolved.
Not all interactions require a blow-by-blow resolution in public. The fact that brands are monitoring social media, however, with many using social media to reach out to consumers, shows a shift in customer contact.
"It's good news that scores continue to climb. There was concern last year, with a slight drop, that we had reached the ceiling," said Redding. "There's still room for growth and improvement."

Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's third oldest nameplate presently in production. Original sales projections forecasted less than 100,000 systems for the very first year. This mark was gone beyond in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered throughout the model year (a record), and in its very first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were constructed.

All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, but several changes were made at the conventional opening of the new design year (start August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some models, the introduction of alternators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. When it comes to a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some uncommon quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo below a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made sufficient distinction to require designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has actually endured with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in International Falls MN are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more rigid contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the first time in vehicle history that the Huge 3 were having to compete with imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller than the first version but, due to the added equipment needed to satisfy brand-new US emission and safety regulations, was heavier than the very first model. Performance was reduced and in the first year only 385,993 cars were offered.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in International Falls MN were offered in between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a 3rd time. This time it was based on the larger Fox platform and the interior was really huge enough for four individuals. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the 3rd generation Mustang worked as an Indianapolis 500 rate automobile and Ford constructed 10,478 commemorative reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

EarthScope in the Northern Rockies
September 16 - 18, 2005
Montana State University, Bozeman, MT
See the workshop program with links to presentations, abstracts and posters.
See the workshop report and recommendations (Acrobat (PDF) 1.1MB Dec19 06).
EarthScope in the Northern Rockies!Geodetic instruments from the PBO component of EarthScope are currently being deployed, and the USARRAY transportable seismic network will be here in 2007. Now is the time for all geoscientists working in this area to start making plans to make full use of this amazing scientific observatory.
- fault properties and earthquake processes
- short time/distance deformation
- fluids and magmas in the crust and upper mantle
- convergent margin processes
- large-scale continental deformation
- continental structure and evolution
- deep-Earth structure.
There are many opportunities for scientists and educators to be involved with the EarthScope program. The goal of this workshop was to formulate an integrated research and education agenda to optimize the use of the EarthScope facility, to identify the "big" scientific questions of the region, and to engage the public through a variety of education and outreach activities.
