Liberty News
Liberty announces new publishing company
Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. has announced the establishment of Liberty University Press, a full-service publishing company.
Liberty University Press gives a writer the opportunity to become a published author and offers benefits that many traditional publishing houses do not. A prime example is that the Liberty University Press contract clearly states that each author retains all rights related to his or her work. For authors, the intellectual property and copyright of their material is a valuable asset. As is standard with other University presses, Liberty Press publications will be peer reviewed.
The books published by Liberty University Press are made available through all of the major distribution channels, such as Ingram, Spring Arbor Distributors, Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com, to name a few.
The Lynchburg-based Liberty University Press production team includes award-winning designers with more than 70 years of combined experience in the publishing field.
This new venture will also accelerate the publication process, allowing a book to go from manuscript to final draft in a much shorter period of time than is typical with most publishers. Given state-of-the-art "print on demand" technology, an author's newly published work can be printed upon order in increments as small as one book. This cost-effective process eliminates overhead expenses related to warehousing and distribution.
Representatives from Liberty University Press guide the author through the entire publication process, from the design of the book and its title to strategizing the most effective means of marketing the newly published work.
Liberty University Provost Dr. Boyd C. Rist stated, "Liberty University Press offers University faculty, as well as authors in the wider evangelical community, the opportunity to write on a wide array of subjects that expand the frontiers of knowledge for both scholarly and general audiences. This is a significant milestone in the development of Liberty University."

FRASER, Colo.—Authorities say a charter bus filled with more than three dozen members of a Littleton church rolled off a snowpacked roadway west of Fraser, but the few reported injuries were minor.
The Colorado State Patrol says the bus went off the side of Grand County Road 50 and came to a rest on its side in a snow drift Friday. The bus was taking 39 people from the Foothills Bible Church to the Crooked Creek Young Life Ranch near Fraser.
The 75-year-old driver was cited for careless driving causing injury.
Investigators say neither drugs nor alcohol played a role in the crash.

Great tool for teachers to use in the classroom.
The creative power of an iPad in the classroom is limitless with its ability for students to show their learning in a multitude of creative ways that look professional. My students love nothing more than to share their knowledge in the form of an iMovie or by using a digital storytelling tool such as Tellagami or Chatterpix or narrating a keynote presentation. But the number one issue we have in the classroom is the background noise when we record these presentations. There is nothing worse than having a fantastic visual product that is let down by poor audio quality, but in a noisy school situation that is a difficult proposition to overcome. So this year we are using our own homemade iPad recording booths.

That's the truth about gamification: it will not make your kids smarter or perform better on tests. Gamification is about increasing motivation and engagement. Once you have a kid's attention, it is still up to the teacher to deliver a solid, meaningful lesson. Gamification is not a magic bullet, nor does every student need it, but the students who benefit the most from a gamified classroom just so happen to be the ones who most need motivation and engagement.

Reed Hansen Interview
If there was a contest for wakeskating's biggest fan, Reed Hansen would probably win. On an average day he wakeskates more than most people do in a week. Growing up in a wake-sport family, living at a wakeboard camp and getting home schooled have all played major roles in the amount time he gets to wakeskate, but if not for all that, Reed would definitely have found a way to ride just as much. He seems to really like it. All of his time on the water has not been a waste though, he has gotten pretty good. At just 16, Reed has made his place in the industry as one of the first riders in the next generation of wakeskating. With his quick mastery of flip tricks, he is keeping the old guys on their toes, and showing the new riders what is possible. Reed's BFF Matt Manzari has also been known to wakeskate well, but more importantly spends almost as much time with Reed as Reed does with his wakeskate. So who better to interview the tech master himself? — BG
Matt: Hey Reed, it feels pretty weird asking you all these questions that I pretty much know the answers to, but let's get this done so we can go fishing. Why did you stop wake boarding?
Reed: Because it got boring and I needed something different. I felt so "tied down."
Matt: When did you start wakeskating?
Reed: About two and a half years ago and I have been pro for about two years.
Matt: What are your goals for this year?
Reed: Triple Varial McTwist and to be a more consistent contest rider.
Matt: What is your perfect day?
Reed: Hmm. Wake up on your couch to Pixy licking my face and the smell of Miss Nancy's biscuits and gravy. After breakfast, walk out to an uncovered boat and a butter smooth lake. Each take a set. Next, come in to 18 inches of delicious roast beef from Subway. Then me and you go and shoot some skeet with my 12 gauge. Then we go down to Lake Hansen and show the bass 'what's up' and fish for a couple hours. When we're done fishing, we head out to Choctaw Willies for a slice of paradise (dinner). Next, end the day with some cat fishing off the Lake Emma Bridge. That's a perfect day right there, I don't care who you are!
Matt: So if you want people to know the real you, tell them about "Red Neck Sunday."
Reed: All right, every Sunday, me and Matt have a tradition where we wake up and go to church. After church we go out to eat at Firehouse Subs or Moe's and then head out to Bass Pro Shops or Gainer Mountain. We look around for about an hour and then pick up some skeet and shells. Go back to my house and shoot some skeet for a few hours and then we get out our bows and shoot our bows for about an hour. Eat dinner and if there is time, go fishing. So, don't be callin' us on Sunday cus were busy!
Matt: If you could be a pro at any other sport, what would it be?
Reed: Is that a question? Big game huntin, of course!
Matt: I meant extreme sports, which you said is skateboarding.
Reed: What, running into a cave with a bunch of hibernating grizzlies with nothing but a buck knife and an air horn doesn't seem extreme?
Matt: Why do you prefer a bi-level over a concave?
Reed: Why don't I prefer a bi-level over a concave?
Matt: Who do you usually ride with?
Reed: Uh, You, Byerly, Thomas (Horrell), Aaron (Reed), but mostly you.
Matt: Do you prefer PWC or Boat? Why?
Reed: I don't care what I'm riding, as long as I'm doing tricks right. Like skateboarders and not gay stuff.
Matt: Have you learned any new tricks lately?
Reed: Yes! Next question please.
Matt: Who do you look up to in the sport and who inspires you to ride?
Reed: I look up to Byerly, Aaron, Thomas and Nick T. Aaron and you inspire me.
Matt: Where do you normally ride?
Reed: On the water. No really, at a secret spot that if I told you I would have to kill you, so let's just change the subject.
Matt: There's always talk about the way tricks should and should not be done, and if it matters. What do you think?
Reed: It does matter. Tricks should be done right. I mean, if you open any skate magazine, you won't find any tricks that aren't done right. I think guys should stop claiming tricks and trying to get them in the magazines when they aren't done right.
Matt: Do you think wakeskating is going in the right direction?
Reed: Yes, I think a select few people are moving the sport in the right direction. Hmm Hmm, Aaron Reed.
Matt: What are your hobbies outside of wake skating?
Reed: Dang ol, is that even a question? Shoot my bow, shoot my gun, fishin', etc.
Matt: How do you feel about frilly tooth picks?
Reed: I'm for um!
Matt: Well then, this club is formed!
Matt: What's your favorite quote?
Reed: Dang ol' and "shake and bake"
Matt: What is your favorite animal?
Reed: Obviously, the bear.
Matt: Favorite color?
Reed: Mossy oak camo.
Matt: Where do you see yourself in five years?
Reed: Celebrating the fifth anniversary of you asking me this question.
Matt: OK, last question, if you could change one thing about wake skating, what would it be?
Reed: If I could change one thing about wake skating, it would be to figure out a way to make boards that don't break so much. Ok man lets go fishin'.

Originally called a hurricane, weather experts are now referring to the storm as a huge hybrid that hit New Jersey and New York City Monday night.
Mayor Bloomberg shut down subways across the New York City area on Sunday night including PATH trains to New Jersey, LIRR and bus services.
Earlier that day, Bloomberg told New Yorkers in Zone A, totaling 375,000 residents, to evacuate, and warned that all elevators in public housing buildings would be shut down by 7 p.m.
Businesses and schools were also closed for Monday and Tuesday.
As the storm progressed on Monday, thousands of people lost power and were flooded, several were killed and a fire destroyed approximately 80 homes in the Queens neighborhood of Breezy Point.
In Midtown Manhattan, a crane on the 70th floor of an apartment complex collapsed as nearby residents evacuated the building due to high winds and dangerous conditions.
Police in Flushing also reported that a 30-year-old man was killed after a tree pinned him on 166th Street. Two boys, ages 11 and 13, were also killed in North Salem, Westchester County, after a tree fell on their house, according to police.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's office made a statement late Monday night that there had been at least five deaths in the state, with three from tree accidents caused by the storm. The death toll in the city stood at 10 as of press time, but was continuing to rise.
With the number of trees falling from the Sandy's destruction, 911 calls were overflowing, and city officials urged residents to use 311 as a way to report tree-fallings instead.
Thousands of New Yorkers also lost power. According to the U.S. Energy Department, 3.6 million homes and businesses were knocked out of power in New York yesterday as of 8 p.m.
NYU Langone Medical Center was one of the organizations to lose power due to problems with the storm on Monday night, forcing patients and staff to evacuate. The same was true for Coney Island Hospital in southern Brooklyn.
Kate Zidar, the executive director of the Newtown Creek Alliance, said that as of last night there is also widespread flooding from an overflow of the Newtown Creek in Greenpoint.
With the city preparing to feel the damage of the storm for days or weeks to come, shelters services are available for those in need.

(Reuters) - Strategic maneuvering for next season's Super Bowl campaign gets underway in earnest on Tuesday when the National Football League's free agent signing period kicks into action.
Over 100 players populate a free agent class that includes proven veterans and Pro Bowl players in their prime, who may have cheaper, younger players ready to step in for them on their former teams.
The deepest pools of talent match the current emphasis on the aerial game in the league, with a host of talented wide receivers and defensive backs available to the highest bidder.
Free agent wide receivers include two players showcased in last month's Super Bowl in Golden Tate of the champion Seattle Seahawks and Eric Decker of the runner-up Denver Broncos.
Also on the list are Emmanuel Sanders of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Julian Edelman of the New England Patriots and Hakeem Nicks of the New York Giants.
The NFL salary cap will increase by about $10 million to $133 million and teams have been paring high-priced players from their rosters with an eye toward opening their pocketbooks to address specific areas of need.
Teams needing to fortify their defensive secondaries have good candidates to ponder.
Three-time Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd, 27, of the Buffalo Bills, who has intercepted nine passes in the last two seasons, is available along with Cleveland Browns safety T.J. Ward, who made his first Pro Bowl last season.
Cornerbacks on the free-agent market include 25-year-old Alterraun Verner of the Tennessee Titans, who had five picks last year, Vontae Davis of the Indianapolis Colts, Aqib Talib of the Patriots and Sam Shields of the Green Bay Packers.
The quarterback class is less impressive, though it includes four-time Pro Bowler Michael Vick, who lost his starting job with the Philadelphia Eagles to Nick Foles.
Among other signal callers looking to find a new team are Josh McCown of the Chicago Bears and Matt Cassel of the Minnesota Vikings.
Pass rushers are well represented, with Seattle's 28-year-old Michael Bennett, who registered 17.5 sacks over the last two seasons, available.
Former Vikings' stalwart Jared Allen, a 31-year-old five-time Pro Bowler, can be signed after notching at least 11 sacks in each of the last seven seasons.
The market for running backs features Ben Tate, 25, available after years of backing up Arian Foster for the Texans, Super Bowl back Knowshon Moreno of the Broncos, Darren McFadden of the Raiders and Donald Brown of the Colts.
Among the available linemen who block for the backs and protect the quarterbacks are two prized left tackles in Branden Albert of the Chiefs and Eugene Monroe of the Ravens.
Teams can start signing free agents at 4 p.m. ET (2000 GMT) on Tuesday.

COI Funded Project: An Isotopic Tracer Investigation of Organic Nitrogen Cycling Within the Subterranean Estuary and Groundwater Seepage face
Project Funded: 2002
Proposed ResearchIncreases in the supply of land-derived nitrogen to receiving waters, on Cape Cod and on a global scale, has led to eutrophication of many coastal waterbodies. On Cape Cod, delivery of land-derived N to the coastal zone occurs primarily through groundwater transport. However, little information is currently available on the influence of nitrogen cycling processes in the mixing zone of fresh and saline groundwater or on processes in the sediments of the seepage zone on the transport of land-derived nitrogen to coastal waters. In addition, our past studies and those of others have shown that a large fraction of these nitrogen loads to coastal waters are often composed on organic nitrogen. To our knowledge there have been no field experiments on the reactivity of the organic nitrogen and on the role of land-derived organic nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle and eutrophication of coastal waters. The goal of the proposed research is to quantify nitrogen transformations, retention and losses in aquifers at the margin between watersheds and coastal waters, with a particular focus on the role of the organic nitrogen.
We propose to utilize anthropogenically generated variations in the isotopic signatures of N exported from the watersheds of Waquoit Bay to obtain isotopically labeled dissolved organic nitrogen of natural chemical composition. We will use ultrafiltration to concentrate the organic nitrogen from a sample of groundwater collected from an urbanized watershed, spike the sample with isotopically labeled inorganic nitrogen and a conservative tracer and inject the sample into the nearshore aquifer of a forested watershed. This is an innovative technique and, in contrast to past studies using additions of only inorganic nitrogen isotope tracers, will allow quantification of organic nitrogen cycling, in addition to the cycling of the other major forms of nitrogen.
This study will provide both basic and applied information on the influence of poorly studied segments of the aquatic cascade from land to sea on the magnitude and species composition of nitrogen loads transported to receiving waters. The results will improve management of coastal waters by updating nitrogen transport models and by providing a more accurate link between land-derived nitrogen loads and the eutrophication of receiving waters.

"Smog and acid rain tomorrow morning, followed by gale-force winds and catastrophic flooding in the afternoon. That's the weather, now let's check in with Les Hazzard for today's Danger Report."
"Thanks, Jim. Folks who are planning to travel by air should take note that the U.S. Transportation Security Administration is expanding its list of permissible carry-on items for air travel. This will include 'teeny-tiny' guns, baby boa constrictors (under three feet long), nose hair clippers, nano-knives, plungers, exploding cigars (no more than four per adult), Kryptonite and those little plastic swords that they stick in maraschino cherries. This could make flying just a bit more dangerous than it already is, so govern yourselves accordingly.
"On the plus side, aviation-wise, Boeing has just announced that it has a plan to fix its troubled 787 Dreamliners so the planes can resume flying. The FAA is reviewing Boeing's proposal to revamp the 787's lithium ion batteries to prevent them from catching fire. So welcome aboard, folks. Sit back, relax, enjoy your flight, but don't forget to sit near the exit.
"As to your destinations, be aware that there are a number of dangerous hotspots around the globe. Try to avoid going to Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Eastern Europe, South America, Central America, Mexico, Antarctica … Maybe it would be easier to just tell you where you CAN go that's safe: Liechtenstein and Tierra del Fuego.
"Elsewhere, the United Nations has just implemented new sanctions against North Korea, intended to prevent that country's leadership from importing 'luxury' items such as yachts, racecars, food and Dennis Rodman. In response, North Korea is talking tough and staging large-scale military drills, although their soldiers' only weapons appear to be mop handles, dishwashing detergent and Kung Fu.
"Of course, the ratings-hungry free-world news media can't stop gleefully reminding us that North Korea has the world's fifth largest army. This is the same thing they said back in 1990 about Iraq's army, all of whom either ran away or surrendered within the first three minutes of Operation Desert Storm.
"It's not the size of North Korea's army that daunts, however, but the size of their rockets, and they seem to have some doozies pointed in our direction, which they are threatening to use. The best current estimate is that, with a good tailwind, they might be able to reach Oregon or Washington State, so scratch those destinations from your travel plans as well.
"Regarding meteors, it's been almost a month now since the last meteor strike in Russia that blew out windows and injured thousands. This means that we might be overdue for some more hot lead from the black abyss of space. If you should see a meteor approaching, depending on its size, angle and speed, you should either sidestep the hurtling monolith or run in a serpentine fashion away from the lethal projectiles. It's also a good idea to wear light-colored clothing. This will deflect heat and keep you from melting.
"Here in the U.S., Senator Rand Paul's 13-hour filibuster on the floor of the Senate finally got the Justice Department to say that it would never use drones to kill U.S. citizens on American soil. We only do that to people in other countries. We do, however (in Philadelphia, at least), occasionally drop satchels full of explosives from helicopters onto houses containing unruly occupants, so watch out for that. If the explosives start to fall, you may want to stay with a cousin in Newark.
"Locally, there was a pro-gun demonstration down at the Federal Courthouse with a lot of fat, bearded white guys in cowboy hats and camouflage pants carrying loaded assault rifles. They all claim to be 'the good guys,' but you never know, so you might want to avoid that area just to play it safe.
"Overall, today's Danger Index is a 7, although with all the media hype, it will feel like an 8, so stay focused, don't panic, don't drink the water, don't eat the daisies, don't take anything for granted, don't count your chickens before they're hatched, don't take any wooden nickels, don't fear the reaper and above all, don't worry — be happy.
"That's the news. Good night and good luck!"

Talk:MCE Remote
Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 MCE Remote
MythDora supports it!
Newest Hauppauge v1069 remote and USB IR receiver
I have the latest remote ordered from the Hauppauge website just 3 weeks ago. It doesn't work with the lirc_mceusb2 module... it requires the lirc_mceusb module.
Everything I'd read pointed me to the mceusb2 module to get the thing working... after two weeks of ripping my hair out -- I finally compiled the mceusb module and the remote works...
Any suggestions on how I should update the page to indicate that the latest (black colored) Hauppauge remotes require the old mceusb driver, not the new one?
UPDATE: I think my above assumptions may be wrong -- but I haven't been able to communicate with any other actual person regarding their success in getting the new black remote working.
I have it working now -- but whether that was due to adding lirc_mceusb support or rather just recompiling and reinstalling the mceusb2 module has yet to be tested.
Microsoft MCEusb ver 2
I have the 1039 remote with the 1040 receiver. Every line on this article is confirmed. Saved me hours of wondering why could change a channel on my TV set.
Thanks for the information.

Need troubleshooting section for transmitter
It seems to be a common problem that the receiver for this remote works fine (out of the box on Mythbuntu) but the transmitter just does not send anything. No error codes are seen; irsend LIST "" "" looks like everything is set up right for the transmitter, and there is no visible blinking on the USB box. I have this problem and have come across several similar reports, with no follow-up. If anybody has any idea please add a troubleshooting section for it.
--Mjrice 17:07, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
In response to Mjrice: You can always check if an IR Blaster is working by viewing the IR LED through a CCD camera such as that on your mobile phone. The IR light will be visible.

Pinnacle Remote
Pinnacle has a "black" remote without the coloured buttons at the bottom in their MCE kit. Has anyone tried out the kit?

Secondly, is the Hauppauge MCE kit with the black remote compatible? Is this the same as on the page? Pic: http://shop.zenpc.co.za/images/hauppauge_remote_kit.jpg

Hometown? Middletown, Delaware
High School? Middletown High School
Favorite place around Washington College? My favorite place to eat in Chestertown is the Fish Whistle. They have high quality food and the restaurant is on the water. It's a nice place to take a date or your family or just have some food with your friends.
First year experience/advice? My biggest mistake my first year at Washington College was locking myself out of my room. Never leave your room without your keys.
Superpower? If I could have any superpower I would have super speed. I could run everywhere and never have to pay for gas or a car.
Favorite Class at WC? 17th and 18th Century America, because it explains in large part how our nation got started and the course was a welcome change to the focus on the founding fathers and big names in history to a down to earth focus that explained the groups of people that influenced our nation and how they lived in those times and how their beliefs changed the course of history.
Recommended Professor? Dr. Siudzinski is a professor I highly recommend. His style is very different from most teachers and he focuses on a more hands on approach rather than relying solely on lecture. The course I took with him was very educational and I had a lot of fun.
Most Memorable Experience as a First-Year Student? On the athletic field it was the War on the shore when we played at Salisbury. Off the field it was birthday ball.
If I Could be Any Animal, I'd be? I think it would be cool to be a lion, because no one messes with a lion
One Thing You Shouldn't Forget to Pack is? Don't forget your laptop/computer. Anything you might forget you should be able to go get either at the Walgreens in town or a 30 minute trip to Middletown's Walmart (if you don't have a car make friends that have them).

His teammates call him fossil and at age 24, in his sixth year out of high school, UC Irvine senior Daman Starring might have more life experience than all but a few college basketball players.
That that experience has not always been good, has only helped forge his character and status as a leader for the Anteaters, who open Big West Conference Tournament play Thursday against Hawaii at approximately 8:30 p.m. at Honda Center.
"He has strong belief in himself and strong core values as a person," UCI Coach Russell Turner said of Starring, a second-team All-Big West performer who leads the Anteaters in scoring at 13.3 points per game. "As a competitor, he is one of those guys who has had to struggle to get the most out of his talents."
A 6-foot-3 shooting guard who is both quick and athletic, Starring blends the improvisation of a contortionist with the calculating precision of a craftsman on the court. Having worked hard to hone his jump shot, his smooth delivery has produced a career-best efficiency from three-point range, where he is shooting 41.8%.
But when defenders charge at him to close out, he transforms into a slithery slasher who can and will use any angle to get his shot off near the rim.
"For this year's team, he has needed to step into more of an assertive scoring role and he has done that," Turner said. "Daman has really raised his profile as someone who wants to be good and he gets a lot of credit for that. It's not easy to do at his age."
Starring talks openly of some childhood hurdles that have contributed to his resolve to be the best man he can be. His father, Stephen Starring, who played six seasons as an NFL receiver, including 5 years for the 1985 Super Bowl runner-up New England Patriots, struggled with an addiction to crack cocaine and has not spoken with his son since before Daman reached his teens.
Starring found himself involved in a controversy as a junior at Sierra Vista High in Las Vegas, when a team hazing incident led to him being accused of sexual assault. He was arrested and expelled from school, but denied all wrongdoing. He was found not guilty of sexual assault, but was convicted of one charge of gross lewdness and one charge of battery.
He maintains his innocence, but said the incident has made him a stronger person.
"The past is something I can't run and hide from and I accept it," said Starring, who played his senior season at El Toro High. "Anybody who knows me, knows that [the conviction] was completely absurd. But if not for that incident, I wouldn't be at UC Irvine today. I fully embrace what's happened. It has made me a better Christian and a godlier man. I had to rely on the lord to get through those situations."
He also relied on family, at the center of which is his mom, Tammy. A former basketball star at McNeese State in Louisiana, Tammy Starring has since found success as an entrepreneur. She owns wildly successful fast-food restaurants at McCarren International Airport in Las Vegas and has overseen several other profitable ventures as well.
She has attended every one of her son's games and will be in Anaheim to see if these Anteaters (18-14), the No. 4 seed in the tournament, can claim the crown and make the program's first trip to the NCAA Tournament. A win Thursday would put UCI into Friday's semifinals. The final is scheduled for Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
"I appreciate everything she has done and all the sacrifices she has made for me and my sister," Daman Starring said of his mother. "The only way I know of paying her back is by giving her as much love as possible and being the best man I can be. I think she has taught me how to be a giver and I think I have also learned from her how to work hard and strive to be great."
Starring, who played his freshman season at Centenary College in Louisiana, from which he came to UCI after it left Division I for the Division III ranks, has given his all to his team this season.
"He is an extremely hard-working guy who is also a character guy," UCI senior post Adam Folker said. "He shows the younger guys on the team how to act."
Said fellow senior Mike Wilder: "Daman has been an incredible leader. He is there before and after practice, doing what he needs to do to keep his game at the right level."
Added Turner: "It's almost like he has this defiance about him, that he is going to make it work. You have to have that to succeed when things are hard."
Starring, who is set to graduate in May with a degree in psychology and social behavior and aims to play professional basketball overseas, said he is eager to add still more experience to his college career.
"We have a great group of guys, who make this one of the best teams I've ever been on," Starring said.

Boliden Tara Mines is in no doubt about the positive impact that systematic training of equipment operators and maintenance personnel can have on efficiency. So much so, that it has made training a fundamental element of its business strategy. Boliden Tara Mines in Navan, Ireland, has been producing lead and zinc for almost 40 years, and in recent times has experienced many of the classic challenges of an older, deepening underground mine
Realizing that it needed to adapt its operations to address these challenges, the management team made two major strategic decisions. The first step was to restructure the organization towards a 'one mine concept', instead of the previous three-area concept, each with its own self-contained mining teams.
The second was to step up its personnel training program in order to enhance skills, work smarter and establish a climate of continuous improvement. Atlas Copco, which supplies Boliden Tara Mines with mining equipment, was also chosen to be the mine's partner in training development. Mike Lowther, Manager of Mining, says the new direction was essential in order to maximize efficiency and flexibility.
" The deeper we go into the mine, the tougher the logistics get," he says. "We can't do anything about exchange rates, metal prices or orebody grades but we do have the ability to control the efficiencies of our mining and our costs. Mineralization is only ore if you can mine it profitably – to turn it into ore, the mine has to be economically viable. "
Over the years, the mine management has stressed the importance of enhancing skills and has worked closely with the local mining unions to achieve this. This work has now moved into a more intensive phase as an increasing pool of cross-skilled operators and maintenance staff pass through the Atlas Copco Drill Rig Simulator Training Program. Cross-skilling focuses on training the miners to operate groups of machines with similar functionality, such as Atlas Copco's underground production drilling and bolting rigs. The first training program took place in 2013 and was an immediate success. The second was held earlier this year, and here too, the results appear to be having an even stronger impact on operations. In preparation for the 2015 course, the mine and Atlas Copco formed a strong project team led by Seán Gilmore, Training Coordinator at Boliden Tara Mines, supported by Damien Healy, Atlas Copco's Service Manager in Ireland. Gilmore took on the instrumental role of Simulator Training Planner, making sure that all the preparations were in place prior to the delivery of the simulator. Strong backup was also received from the mine's electrical and IT sections.

Mary and Victor Dupuis Scholarship in Education
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.—Mary Dupuis, an alumna of the College's Curriculum and Instruction doctoral program, has directed $100,000 in her estate plans to establish the Mary and Victor Dupuis Scholarship in Education. The endowment supports full-time undergraduate students enrolled in or planning to enroll in the College of Education.
"I am personally very grateful for the endowment Dr. Dupuis has established to create this scholarship," said David H. Monk, dean of the College of Education. "Her deep passion for teacher preparation will live forever thanks to her generosity and vision. We in the College of Education look forward to serving the countless future students who will benefit from this gift."
Though Dupuis worked extensively with graduate students, her greatest passion has always been with undergraduates in teacher preparation programs. Dupuis designed this scholarship specifically to help these undergraduate students afford an education at Penn State.
"I want these students to graduate feeling that they are free to make decisions about their futures that don't necessarily relate to massive student loans," said Dupuis. "They should be able to look ahead and take whatever positions they want without having to worry about finances."
Dupuis is a professor emerita of education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Penn State and former director of teacher education and associate dean for undergraduate programs at the College of Education. She also served as the director of academic affairs at Penn State's DuBois Campus. Dupuis previously held faculty positions at Northern Illinois University and Purdue University and was a secondary English and reading teacher in Georgia and Indiana.
Dupuis is a consultant in the areas of writing, reading, and language across the curriculum. She has consulted with many school districts as well as colleges and universities, including Morehead State University, Lehigh University, St. Joseph's University, York College, Marywood College/University, Robert Morris College, University of Pittsburgh, and others. She has also done speciality consulting with Indian schools, with a focus in reading and writing curriculum, including the Kayenta Indian School, the Pierre Indian Learning Center, the Payallup Schools, and Hays Schools.

From 2016 model year, all Jaguar diesel models (including XE) will feature AdBlue® emissions reduction technology. As well as being powerful and fuel efficient, these new generation Jaguar diesels reduce Nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 90%.
HOW AdBlue® WORKS
AdBlue® solution is stored in a separate reservoir in the vehicle. As you drive, small amounts are injected into the exhaust system, breaking down Nitrogen oxide emissions into harmless water vapour and nitrogen gas. AdBlue® technology is proven, fuss-free and does not affect the driving experience.
REFILLING THE AdBlue® RESERVOIR
Typically a litre of AdBlue® lasts around 10,000 miles, so for most drivers a refill will be needed around once a year. Your Jaguar's message centre will give you advance warning when your AdBlue® level is low to give you ample time to organise a refill.
AdBlue® TOP-UP BOTTLES
You may also like to pick up a 1.89 litre non-drip AdBlue® top-up bottle from your local Jaguar retailer for peace of mind. The Jaguar sales or service teams will be happy to show you the location of your Jaguar's AdBlue® reservoir.
AdBlue® Refill For £29.99 RRP
For mid service top-ups, we are now offering an AdBlue® refill for £29.99 RRP to manufacturers recommended fill-level, regardless of the amount required*. If you have purchased a Jaguar Service Plan you can get a free refill from your local retailer. Please see terms:
*Offer available at participating Jaguar Retailers / Authorised Repairers, please contact us for availability and booking. Fee for DEF / AdBlue® check and top up to manufacturer fill level is £29.99 RRP per vehicle on a single visit. Eligible on Jaguar vehicles only.
YOUR AdBlue® CHECKLIST:
• Only use Jaguar AdBlue® refills – commercial vehicle AdBlue® pumps at fuel stations may damage your Jaguar's reservoir or cause spillage.
• Your Jaguar message centre will inform you when to refill. Don't leave it until empty as your vehicle will not then start until you refill.
• If you have any questions about AdBlue®, please contact us.
AdBlue® is the registered trademark of the Verband der Automobilindustrie e. V. (VDA)

Oscar 2008 came and went with a myriad of cinematic talent... some winners, sadly, more losers. But what we here at Beauty Banter really care about is...
Who Gave Best Face on the Red Carpet!
Here are the nominees (in alphabetical order):
Anne Hathaway - she looks ravishing with the red lips, dark eyes and hair pulled back into a clean and tidy pony (also loving the length of her hair - not short, yet not too long...)
Cameron Diaz - She's got that whole "beach look" thing going on... Messy hair, light make-up, subtlety. Cam's a hot chick - she always looks good, but I'm not sure if this is what one rocks to the most decadent awards ceremony in the world... maybe a hair brush is in order?
Heidi Klum - I LOVED this look! Heidi is a true glamizon, a real-life Barbie doll. Dark eyes, light lips, a posh up-do. It's a total throwback to Old Hollywood (I'm thinking she's channeling a bit of Ms. Grace Kelly...)
Jennifer Garner - I was literally stupified when I saw Jen Garner strut her stuff on the red carpet. She looks HOTTER then ever. LOVE the updo with the side-swiped bangs, the dramatic eyes with a focus on major lashes, and the light lips. Oh and I'm mildly obsessed with this hair color. This look ROCKS!
Jessica Alba - I'm digging the updo, very Grecian with the braids. Her skin glows... it always glows, but even more so here. Maybe it's a pregnancy glow... I don't know. But she looks good. Lips and eyes are pretty - simple, nothing outrageous, nothing risky. It all works.
Katherine Heigl - I feel like I've seen this look on her a dozen times before. Tight curls, light eyes, dramatic, red lips (very Marilyn Monroe). It suits her well but I'm ready for a change. And P.S. her lippy is the same exact hue as the dress... hmmm...
Keri Russel - Another decent up-do. Make-up is pretty too. It's all a little safe. Kind of blah. She looks good, it just doesn't pop! On another note, I cannot believe how SICK her body is... and she had a baby like, what, a year ago?!
Marion Cotillard - Side part, long, wavy locks... loving the hair! The French actress is super sexy and naturally beautiful. She may have won the Best Actress Award, but she's also winning best face too! Tres magnifique!
Miley Cyrus - Let's forget for one second that this teen Disney star actually presented at the Academy Awards, what is she doing with her lips? I kid you not, she struck this same pose in dozens of photos. Poor girl must want plumper lips... hey, she's rich enough... buy them! At least she wasn't trying to look too much older then her age... besides the pout, she's looking good. Hair is cute, make-up is fresh and pretty.
Penelope Cruz - If I could be reincarnated (looks-wise), I'd want to come back as the hotness that is Penelope Cruz. She is sophisticated, sexy and absolutely stunning. I love the half-up hair. It frames that gorgeous face of hers perfectly! She's a Spanish goddess, plain and simple. Muy caliente!
Renee Zelleger - Two words: All Wrong. The hair is a hot mess (the cut is horrendous) and her make-up looks like it's caked on. And her brows scare me. I don't know why, but they make her look like an alien. I'm sure she's really sweet though.
What did YOU think? Who wins best face???

'Once Upon a Time' Recap: 'Save Henry' — Another Fairy Tale Twist
This episode of 'Once Upon a Time' managed to pull off two promising tricks that just might pull this middling season out of the gutter: It left the dull Neverland jungle behind (Thank you, show!) and it managed to raise the dramatic stakes in a satisfying way with a killer cliffhanger ending.
The Neverland storyline has been tedious at worse and tolerable at best, so it's great to see the show finally fly away from that dreary locale and start a new chapter in the season. "Save Henry" was one of the best episodes of Season 3, and a lot of that had to do with the emotional backstory that revealed how Regina adopted Henry.
"Save Henry" starts out in the past, like most good episodes of 'OUAT' do, to remind us that casting her life-altering curse over the Enchanted Forest may have gotten Regina the revenge she desired, but it didn't solve all of her problems. She feels empty and alone, and so she decides to adopt a baby. Rumpelstiltskin agrees to help her find a child, but it's clear that his involvement is all part of a bigger plan he's cooking up to undo the curse. Rumpel's the one who matches Regina up with baby Henry, so it's likely that he did so to engineer Emma's return to Storybrooke and put an end of the curse. But this episode didn't explore that aspect of Henry's adoption in great detail. Instead, we got several scenes of Regina being a terrible mother.
Henry is a crybaby, and his constant weeping makes Regina more tense and stressed than ever. The joy Regina felt when she first saw baby Henry is quashed after a few days of his fussiness, and she decides to return him to the adoption agency -- but not before Snow (Henry's biological grandmother) holds him for a minute and suspiciously makes him stop crying. But Regina is convinced that her worries about Henry's true origins, not to mention the regret she has over torturing Snow and the people of the Forest, are making her a bad mother. Still, even when she tries to return Henry, she changes her mind again and brings him back home, determined to become a good mother no matter what. Regina reaches for her standard cure-all, magic, in order to smooth out the situation. She drinks a potion that's designed to make her forget her worries, troubles and fears. And she promises baby Henry that she'll never let him go. The potion seems to work; Regina calms down, Henry stops crying, and all is good. It turns out she loves the little scamp after all, and maybe she can be a decent mother. It's almost sweet. But our story isn't over yet.
Back in the present day, Regina, Emma and Snow hunt down Pan with the hope of restoring Henry's heart, which Pan stole in the last episode. With a little inspiration from Emma, Regina is able to defeat Pan -- for the moment -- and recapture Henry's heart. Regina is a total badass in this scene, cutting through Pan's magic like a boss and reaching into his chest to yank out the heart. There's something about seeing Pan squirm that's of so delightful!
So, yes, Regina, Emma and Snow manage to save Henry and release Rumple from the Pandora's Box which means that everyone, including Charming, can return to Storybrooke. After defeating Pan, they all board Hook's ship to sail away from Neverland and sail back home, with Wendy, Tinkerbell, and a group of reformed Lost Boys in tow. It looks like we're gonna get a happy ending, until ...
Pan Strikes back! The evil manchild returns to take another stab at stealing Henry's heart. But he fails thanks to a protection spell Regina casts over Henry's heart only minutes before his reappearance. Pan decided to try and steal Henry's shadow instead, but his plan is thwarted when Emma appears and traps him in the Pandora's Box. So happy ending, right? Wrong! Pan somehow switched bodies with Henry. No one has any idea that Henry is trapped in Pan's body inside the Pandora's Box and Pan is hiding inside of Henry's body, except for one of Pan's henchboys, who will no doubt help him initiate a revenge plan in the weeks to come.
This episode ended with an exciting cliffhanger, and it offered some great Regina flashback scenes and a surprising and interesting twist on the Peter Pan story it's been telling so far. But one of my favorite scenes had to be the long-awaited reconciliation between Neil and Rumpel. It was great to see them embrace and to hear Neil tell his father that he was a better man than Pan. And if these two can make up, then anything's possible.

Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Michael S. Rosenfeld, a talent agent and producer who was one of the founding partners of Creative Artists Agency, has died. He was 75.
Rosenfeld died Thursday of respiratory failure at Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center after a long illness, the agency announced.
"He enjoyed an exemplary career as a talent agent," the agency said in a statement. "He played an important role in the growth and success of CAA, and prided himself on starting the agency's literary department."
In 1975, Rosenfeld and four other successful middle-management executives with the William Morris Agency left to form Creative Artists Agency, which would become a talent agency powerhouse.
Rosenfeld and his partners — Michael Ovitz, Bill Haber, Ron Meyer and Rowland Perkins — pooled their resources and set up shop on Wilshire Boulevard.
They couldn't afford a receptionist, so each of their wives filled in one day a week. At first, they conducted business on card tables and sat in folding chairs.
As a vice president at ABC, Michael Eisner had worked closely with Rosenfeld at William Morris. After CAA was formed, Eisner "put his programming execs in a room with Rosenfeld and his partners and refused to let them leave until each one had come up with a project the new agency could handle," according to the 1995 book "The Agency."
Rosenfeld brought together the creative elements for the 1980 movie "Fame" and sold the landmark 1976 miniseries "Rich Man, Poor Man" to ABC.
Among his clients were William Link and Richard Levinson, creators of TV's "Murder, She Wrote," and actresses Marlo Thomas, Joanne Woodward, Ann-Margret, Eva Marie Saint and Dyan Cannon.
By the early 1980s, Rosenfeld had left CAA to produce such projects as the 1984 TV miniseries "Fatal Vision" and the 1986 skateboard film "Thrashin'."
Soon after completing the 1989 TV movie "The Hillside Stranglers," he moved to Kenwood, in northern California, and co-owned Dragonfly Aviation, a flying school at the Santa Rosa Airport.
Michael Stuart Rosenfeld was born June 28, 1934, to Maxwell S. Rosenfeld, who became a Pennsylvania state senator, and Edith Rosenfeld.
After earning his bachelor's degree from Penn State University, Rosenfeld started in the mailroom at William Morris in 1957 in New York City. Two years later, he moved to Los Angeles.
He represented Rita Moreno and George Chakiris, securing their roles in the 1961 film "West Side Story," for which they both won Academy Awards. According to CAA, he also persuaded Disney to cast Dick Van Dyke in the 1964 film "Mary Poppins."
Rosenfeld was divorced.
His son, Michael Rosenfeld, and his son's wife, Sonya, are television agents at CAA.
Rosenfeld is also survived by three other children, Maxwell, Jackson and Molly; and three grandchildren.

Take a pictorial tour of Kingston's SSD facility
Subject: General Tech | April 10, 2012 - 11:48 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: kingston, fab, tour, ssd
Tweaktown was invited put on a bunny suit and take a tour of Kingston's SSD manufacturing facility in Taiwan. Starting from a pile of surface mount transistors which are automatically soldered and inspected before being baked at up to 270C once all the components have been mounted to the PCB, they snapped pictures of as much of the process as they could. From there it is off to the testing facility where Kingston ensures that all the drives that came off of a particular run are up to the expected standards. TweakTown does mention a burn-in machine, but unfortunately they were told not to post them as Kingston wanted to keep at least a few trade secrets from getting out. It could also be that they don't want the world to know that they cloned Al several times and use his SSD killing expertise as the final test before releasing a drive to the channel to be sold.
"We were exclusively invited into the Kingston factory where few media have been and got shown the process of making an SSD from start to finish. Due to media restrictions, we were not allowed to produce a video of the tour, but we were allowed to take photos. Obviously Kingston is a market leader in memory and SSD products and there is plenty of sensitive machinery and such - and we needed to respect that and their rules."

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
Showcase - Readers' Rides - March 2014
Best of the Bag - Sponsored by UPRProducts.com
Repeat Offender
Jeremy and Shannon Polston's Roush Mustangs have been in Showcase once before, but I think we called him John, or Justin, or something like that. All we know is, we didn't call him Jeremy. To make it right, here's another shot of Jeremy and Shannon's Roush Mustangs. Shannon's is the black '12 Stage 3, affectionately known as Black Betty. Jeremy says the car is 1 of 33 red-striped black Stage 3s built in 2012. At the time, Jeremy was happy with his '04 Cobra, but he eventually moved on to the Gotta Have It Green '13 Roush Stage 3 seen here with Shannon's Black Betty. Jeremy ordered the car with black stripes, but a paperwork glitch meant his Roush arrived to the dealer with red stripes. He wasn't happy, and even ordered a replacement black stripe kit. However, the red stripes grew on him, so he left the car that way. We bet that combo will probably be more rare than Shannon's example. A Brenspeed tune has Jeremy's Roush Stage 3 putting down 565 horsepower to the wheels.
Feature Hopeful
Racine, Wisconsin's Nick Gabbey sent us an eye-opening photo of what his '92 GT looked like before compared to after. Too bad it was a low-resolution image—you'll have to trust us when we say it was nowhere near as nice as it is now. The GT was a two-tone blue with grey bottom, but now, as you can see, it's all blue. The black interior has been bolstered with Corbeau seats, among many other additions. Under the hood is where Nick spent quality time, as well, adding a Vortech T-trim supercharger to a built engine. Nick also added a Tremec TKO 500 transmission with a Ford Racing Performance Parts aluminum driveshaft, a full UPR Products suspension, and CCW wheels.
Uniontown, Ohio's Christian Grest has a thing for green Mustangs. He had a Calypso Green '92 LX he was restoring, but he couldn't resist updating his tastes and that car was sacrificed in favor of this Gotta Have It Green '12 GT. Christian drove a '12 GT a year prior to purchasing this car, and he was so impressed with the car's feel and performance he made it a goal to own one. His wife surprised him by giving the go-ahead to get a '12, with one condition ... it had to be Gotta Have it Green. "I was so stoked they had one at my local Ford dealer just down the street—exactly what I wanted and none of the extras, making it a great canvas for some mods," Christian says. Since the purchase, Christian's added RTR wheels, a Boss 302 oil cooler, a Ford Racing GT500 axle-back exhaust, a JLT Performance oil seperator, a Barton shifter, and Redline Tuning hood struts.
