Heine Ramnsteiner ハイネ・ラムシュタイナー
The stray howling dog.
Haine is an albino who suffered genetic experimenting, the Kerberos project, while as a child and his hidden metal collar proves it. His memories start there and they are anything but good, as his personality shows. Haine is a complexed person, with an often apathetic behaviour and gynophobia (abnormal fear of women). However, he's comfortable around Nill, a mute girl and also genetic experiment, who Haine saved and is fond of.
Haine was taken in by a man who's adressed as Bishop, at some point, who took care of him. Currently, Haine fulfills jobs for the Bishop and Granny Lisa and wanders in melancholy, while trying to find answers for unsatisfying emptiness. Fighting is his salvation and perdition. Haine holds a white Mauser C96 pistol with a chain plus a black Luger P08 pistol, which combined with his regeneration power make him an extremely lethal opponent. But once the «black wild dog» takes over, it's carnage. With a permanent strive with sanity, Haine may avoid, but will not refuse.
In spite of his violent actions, Haine is a fairly sensible person with a sense of loyalty towards his partners. He looks after Badou and also Naoto, even though being a female and their relationship highly consisting of glares.
The heavy smoker with an eye-patch.
Dave, Badou's older brother, was a freelance journalist and a heavy smoker that was nosing too much the underground. While he disappeared, Badou's eye was wounded as a warning by Richter Berthein, and Badou followed his brother steps, turning himself into a freelance journalist and heavy smoker at an early age.
Badou has a cool and extroverted personality that brings out Haine's, especially due to his tendecy of getting into trouble, however, when out of nicotine he does go beserk.
Badou used to spy and expose corrupter's secret lives but presently performs tasks partner with Haine for Bishop and Granny Lisa. He uses a pair of Ingram MAC-10 machine pistols.
Badou also seems to work in a sort of convenience shop and is skilled in domestics, from the times with his brother.
The vengeful katana wielder.
Naoto suffers from amnesia since the brutal encounter she had when young, which resulted in the death of her parents and her cross-shaped scar in the chest. She was discovered by a man, whom she believed to be the murderer from the sword, who offered to took her in, naming her Naoto, and trained her intensively in swordsmanship. When her mentor is himself murderer by another of his apprentices named Magato, after killing the last she discovers her parents were actually murderer by the original Naoto. Regretting her misjudgement about her mentor and grateful to him, Naoto undiscloses his family name and uses it.
I love this manga since I started reading it. One of the motives was the story concept, underground is a theme that appeals me, and with intense action and great artwork, how could I refuse this candy. I would say the flaws that I could easily point out concern the uncertain way of the plot development. However, I actually quite like it: it makes it unpredictable and this aerialness fits the story ambience quite well. Warning: DOGS is quite mature, mild horror and physical violence (such as shoots, mutilation etc) is a normal sight, aswell as swearing. Just so you are not caught by surprise.
Reasons to read it:
- it has an original setting
- great artwork (amazing perspective and shadow work)
- lots of action
- it has badass gangstas that are hot bishies (heart)
It was definitely worth reading and I highly recommend it if you're looking for some pewpew and great artwork.

What a way to put us all to shame :) love the edge work
Damn D -really inspiring work here. I love where you are taking your work these days. Cheers bud-s
Good to see more stuff from you dude, I gotta say im loving the edges too.
Wow, these are really impressive.
Rhhhhhooooooooo, c'est bien radical, tout ça !
Bravo !
MAN I love them brush strokes… damn awesome.
some bold color choices, too. ass kicking goodies!
thanks for sharing, mate.
<3 cooooool
solid comps, nice edges and cool colors – great stuff as always!
dig them all, but the 4th portrait and the last one really stands out…
These are some super interesting portraits, really beautiful……
Damn ! The purple one really does it for me but all of them are out of the park!

damn it, i knew that ascii wouldnt work.
you're killing it bro.
I'm really intrigued as to what's going on in the last one there, awesome :)
I already commented on the "Nation" but I just gotta say it again, Daniel…FUCKING AWESOME. That is all. Good night sir. And wax up your board! We need to go boarding!!!
Lot's of very good things, bold decisions, skillfull draws, energy, interesting color… Which leave me frustrated with the texture. Don't get me wrong, digital touch is fine, but there are digital and digital IMO. Here I can smell Photoshop dull brushes. Your hands have stuff to tell and lack of expression in brushes don't do them justice. Although it certainly can be achieved with some extra work in Photoshop, it's probably more of a payoff to go through Painter or Paint Tool Sai ?
Thanks Jon !
Thanks monsieur Jens :]
Thank you my lord Scott ! Hope you're not too cold over there ! haha
Thanks Adam ! Glad you like !
Thank you Allen ! Post more often man !
Merci Julien, je te retourne le compliment :)
Thanks Pat ! :D
Merci Clo !.. update stp !!
Thanks Mark !
Thank you Tiffany, you should… post again :]
Thank you Liam ! Keep posting man !
Thanks Adam, i tried to figure out what you tried to write, but i cant really find it… haha ah well
Thank you madame fin ! Legit observation…. i have no clue either.. :(
Thanks Christine ! Boarding sounds awesome ! Even though i'm still kind of on canned food right now…. haha
Gregory, thanks for the feedback man, I appreciate it. I see what you mean with digital feel, but i can't quite branch off too far from being is simple and clear as possible yet since that's what they ask for at work, and…. well yeah, i'm still just beginning :) But once i'm comfy enough and have the time and energy, ill do more painterly paints. Thanks a lot !
I was probably a little bit confusing. I am not saying you should change your line / art direction. Clear is fine by me, as well as the explicit digital look. I just think your brushes are
a) a little bit blury, which is sad because it softens your sharp and beautiful hand gestures
b) not responsive enough to hand gesture, so when they bring texture it's a texture that doesn't talk with the move you put in your draw.
It doesnt have to look like real media to be expressive/interesting. It's just that all digital tools are not worse the same. You have already the more difficult part : strong draw, idea, guts. Paying a bit extra attention to brushes and what they do for you is a little thing in comparison ;-)

Alvarado rides 1,000th winner
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Jockey Junior Alvarado picked up his 1,000th career victory in North America Monday at Saratoga when he guided Skerkis to an 8 1/2-length victory in the fourth race.
"It always comes when I least expect it," Alvarado said in the winner's circle afterward. "I've been on [999] since Friday with a lot of good mounts, good horses, expecting this one will be the one."
Alvarado went winless with 12 mounts between victories 999 and 1,000. He finished second aboard a couple of favorites in stakes on Sunday's card.
"It seems like it was forever," Alvarado said. "I couldn't get it done Saturday. Yesterday, I got a good chance I couldn't either. I wasn't expecting it at all with this one, but that's how it worked out."
Earlier in the meet, Alvarado rode Moreno to victory in the Grade 1 Whitney Stakes. He will ride Moreno again in Saturday's Grade 1, $600,000 Woodward.
Alvarado, 28, began riding in his native Venezuela in 2005 and rode his first winner in the U.S. in February 2008. He rode several years in Chicago, where he won a riding title at Arlington Park before moving his tack to New York in 2010.
Alvarado enjoyed his best year in 2013 when he rode 191 winners, including 30 stakes wins, and his horses earned $12.8 million.
I watched Junior as a "bug boy" when he was riding at Calder. He showed a lot of promise. Again, he honed his skills in Chicago, and now is a very welcomed addition to the "Big Apple."

So let's back it up a second. What the heck is I Am Alive? The game was barely shown at E3 and the biggest news to come out since then is that Ubisoft producer, Jade Raymond, is not working on the project. Pretty much the only information about the game comes from a recently published article in GamesTM that talked a little bit more about the yet-to-be-seen gameplay. Here's a bit from the game's senior producer, Alexis Goddard, about how to deal with your foes.
Confrontation is a way of dealing with violent groups, but will rarely be rewarded," said Goddard. "We encourage the players to use tactics, diversion, and discretion. You've found a police shotgun, which is out of bullets - rightfully so, since Chicago has long been a proponent of a ban on guns. How about some intimidation? After all, who knows the gun is empty but you? Just point it at looters and they'll remain at a distance as you progress toward your objective. However, you can only aim it at one person, so you have to watch for being flanked.
You can check out more from that article over at 1up. So, if you are one of those people who likes video games, then surely this sounds interesting, right? Hopefully we'll see more in the coming month before the game's release on the PS3, X360 and PC, but for now, here's the trailer from E3.
Not talking about a game makes me scared. Stop scaring me Ubisoft. Serously, you're making your mother worry. I hate you.

I learned a bit more today, I've been to a parking lot and doing some rt circles and straight lines car in the air about everyday. Tonight the woman friend and I headed out(supper ride) I took her and dog to parking lot for some circles she's a lite wt her and dog with jacket and helmet 150-60ish max.It was easy to put her up and do rt circle just a very hard rt, not so easy on the road every time I got a sharp right I tried to pick her up mostly couldn't do it easily(I'm no Dana).
My flirtation with diaster last Fri was a total panic on my part, we were working but car was down.It was closing the throttle and stabbing the rear brake.
Hell it's a left turn tactic, if you don't get enough rotation from closing the throttle while setting up a left add a little rear brake.
A supper ride is usually a minimum of 90 miles I streched it out to 140 round trip to practice the rts.Claude you build a really nice stable rig, it's damned hard to get rig with lite passenger into the air with spirited riding that's sane.I'm sure Tarka and Dana could do it but I'm not that skilled yet,it woud seem Tarka's observation of my confidence passed my skill level and left it for dead was very accurate.DB
I loved spirited riding on 2 wheels and was very good at it much better than I am with a chair, haven't been in any real trouble except the occasional speeding ticket in awhile, this sidecar stuff is completely different but we'll get it.DB

Denable/Venorfia RF platoon benefitting Padres
Follow the Padres on Facebook
Have a Facebook account? Follow the U-T's Padres page for links to video, stories and other content, and to interact with other fans. Go to: facebook.com/utpadres
PEORIA, AZ Almost three decades ago, when Tim Flannery and Jerry Royster platooned at second for the Padres, the combined player became known as Timry Flanster.
Fast forward to the present Padres and the right field combination of Will Venable and Chris Denorfia.
Denable? Or Venorefia?
"I don't want to go there," Denorfia laughed yesterday as he discussed what looks to be a third full season of sharing right field with Venable.
Although, Bud Black stops short of calling his right field tandem a platoon.
"It's still sort of evolving," the Padres manager said Monday. "I don't want to call it a traditional platoon. We weigh trends. We'll go with the hot hand. It's not a platoon all the time."
But when the Padres' brass crush the numbers in right field around baseball, they like to say "their platoon" of Venable and Denorfia ranks among the top third of all right fields in the major leagues.
They have the numbers to prove it.
The Miami Marlins, thanks to Giancarlo Stanton, had best right field OPS – the baseball statistic derived from adding the on-base percentage to the slugging percentage – at .866. The Padres were No. 10 with a .802 OPS. In between the two teams were the Cardinals, Angels, White Sox, Reds, Braves and Orioles.
The Padres, however, believe their tandem ranks even slightly higher based on the defense and running skills of Venable and Denorfia – both of whom also saw time at the other two outfield spots last season as well as being used as a pinch-hitter.
"I'm happy with our right field situation," Padres general manager Josh Byrnes said several times during the off-season as the names of other right fielders were tossed around the rumor mill.
Padres right fielders hit a combined .280 last season with 37 doubles, 14 triples and 59 RBI. The right fielders scored 104 runs and stole 28 bases. The right field position led the Padres in runs scored and triples and was third in doubles and homers while having the second-fewest strikeouts.
Not great, but not the Padres most pressing need. And some in the organization believed the Denorfia-Venable platoon might give way next year to prospect Rymer Liriano, until the 21-year-old had elbow reconstruction surgery to wipe out his 2013 season.
Venable and Denorfia agree that one of the best parts of their situation is that Black uses both in different roles. Neither is limited to being a part-time right fielder.
"We're both pretty involved in most games even when we're not starting in right," said Denorfia, who last season hit .294 with 12 doubles, five triples, six homers and 22 RBI in 261 at-bats while playing in right. Venable hit .286 as a right fielder with 20 doubles, seven triples and six homers for 30 RBI.
Together they had 203 at-bats other than in right, including 52 while pinch-hitting.

MALE wood mice have come up with an ingenious strategy to maximise their chances of fatherhood - altruistic sperm. Thousands of their sperm line up head to tail, making a long express train that can wiggle its way to an egg much faster than a lone swimmer.
"When I saw it I couldn't believe my eyes. And I've been working on sperm for 30 years," says Harry Moore, a biologist from the University of Sheffield. He thinks the sperm have evolved the trick in a bid to outcompete sperm from other wannabe dads.

Level of study Second Year

Semester 1&2
The `globalization' of the world over the last few decades, has exposed the brittleness of `European modernity' as an overarching theme in world history. Complex global trends are happening more quickly than historians can invent new frameworks and models to comprehend them. This module is contributes to these new interpretive conditions by inviting you to consider the dynamics of human interaction across the Afro-Eurasian world system from 500 to 1800, before `European modernity'. An important aim of this module is critically to confront Eurocentric grand narratives that have inhibited the understanding of our own European past and prevented our better appreciation of historical agency in other parts of the world. It offers a comparative synchronic study of religious and political cultures and formations, economic and technological developments, and cross-cultural contacts and trends from West-Africa and Ireland on the East Atlantic seaboard, to Japan in East Asia. A central problem we will have to ponder is whether we can talk of a global history prior to the rise of the West, and how such a history might be characterized. In its geographical and chronological scope this module has been designed to appeal to anyone who would like to find out more about non-European `pre-modern¿ civilizations. Some of the episodes that will be studied include the rise of Islam, imperial formations in India, Europe, China and on the nomadic steppe, religious mission, aggression, and the development of a world economy, and cycles of political centralization and fragmentation in East Asia, Japan and Europe

Uber drivers make way more money than you think
For those with access to its mobile app, Uber is quickly becoming the preferred method of transportation over traditional taxis.
It's a lot easier to summon a ride with a tap on your iPhone screen than hailing down a cab on the side of the street. For drivers, Uber is proving to be not only easier, but incredibly lucrative.

Anniversary of Kim Il Sung's Work Marked
| Pyongyang, January 20 (KCNA) -- A meeting took place at the People's Palace of Culture on Jan. 20 to mark the 60th anniversary of the publication of President Kim Il Sung's work "On Making Good Preparations for Universal, Free Medical Care".
The work, published on Jan. 20, 1952, clarifies that the universal free medical care is the most popular policy enforced at state expense and clearly explains its significance and indicates the tasks and ways for making preparations for it.
The President made sure that the universal, free medical system was enforced in all areas of the DPRK from Jan. 1, 1953 and took measures to introduce the complete and universal, free medical system.
He saw to it that the Public Health Law of the DPRK was promulgated in April 1980, providing a legal guarantee for fully granting to the people rights to medical treatment and the promotion of their health and consolidating the socialist public health system.
General Secretary Kim Jong Il worked heart and soul to ensure that the Korean people would benefit from the above-said system, thus making sure that the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital was built and dental and children's hospitals and other specialized ones were constructed in all provinces and cities to raise the level of specialization of healthcare.
The people throughout the country are now provided with all medical services and medicines free of charge by the state and their health and the right to medical treatment are fully guaranteed by the Socialist Constitution and the Public Health Law.
Hospitals and clinics are found not only in the urban and rural areas but in fishermen's and forestry workers' villages and the people are provided with all conditions for healthcare without any inconveniences including the section doctor system.
Choe Thae Bok, secretary of the C.C., the Workers' Party of Korea, made a report.
He noted that the past 60 year-long history in which the universal, free medical care has been enforced is the glorious course in which the most popular policies have been enforced, defended and developed thanks to the wise leadership and warm benevolence of the President and Kim Jong Il.
He underlined the need to effect a turn in the health work as required by the era of a great surge and thus fully glorify the advantages of the socialist health system of the DPRK.

Two threads I've been reading over the last weeks. Every now and then it's good to be reminded of good practices.
Advice on building a megadungeon, and a campaign around it by Benoist Poiré (G+). The author provides examples, discusses benefits and drawbacks, technique – and then he goes about implementing them, designing a megadungeon as you read along.
S is for Sandbox by Raven Crow King. The author discusses the things you need to prepare and the things you should not prepare. Key phrases that he repeats a few times:
The series then moves to the design of an adventure site and I really like how he makes sure that the dungeon has replay value. In the first dungeon, for example, he hides some treasure that is very hard to find and says: "This area will be hard to discover without additional information, and a map in another adventure site will indicate where to look."
It's a bit wordier than my humble Swiss Referee Style Manual but still far shorter than some of the advice books out there. I just looked at my GM Advice folder and found Gamemastering by Brian Jamison, 330 pages. (Hm, the site gamemastering.info seems to be down; what happened?)

Slick Ajaxed Datagrids With jQuery – jTable
jTable is a jQuery plugin for creating Ajaxed and feature-rich CRUD interfaces with little effort.
The plugin generates all the HTML required and uses jQuery UI for "add new/edit record" dialogs.
Records can be browsed with Ajaxed pagination and they can be sorted (server-side) as well.
jTable can be set to display sub-tables for a given record which is handy for listing any sub-details.
The interface is completely themable via CSS (there are already several themes) and the resource is very well-documented.
P.S. There are samples provided on using jTable with PHP and ASP.NET
Compatibility: All Major Browsers
Website: http://www.jtable.org/
Demo: http://www.jtable.org/Demo

Very cool….
Jeff March 14th, 2012 at 9:15 am
Would be neat if it weren't so ugly. I know it says theme by CSS but still, ug-o!
Jim Cummins March 15th, 2012 at 9:28 am
I agree. The backend code looks to work well but it needs someone to design an interface that doesn't jump around each time you click on something. Makes it very hard to use when sorting through many records.

Liverpool defender Glen Johnson insists talk of a top-four challenge puts no extra pressure on the players.
A 3-1 defeat at home to Aston Villa derailed some of the momentum which was building and was a missed opportunity to close the gap on the teams pushing for Champions League qualification.
In his pre-match comments, manager Brendan Rodgers insisted they should not be limiting themselves to a target of fourth place in the Barclays Premier League, and Johnson added: "There was no extra pressure because we all believe that as well. We all felt the same."

Hey I am really new to lipos and I have two questions
First if I charge my lipos how long can I leave them before use? Like can I charge them tonight and wait till tomorrow before I use them?
Second. I have an onyx 245 charger and I have read the manual and it does not seem to have a storage mode, so is there a way to charge them for storage?
Also what should the storage voltage be for a 2s lipo?

I think it's consisted a ped because it often contains amphetamines. Also, don't forget that doc ellis the no hitter on lsd... regardless of whether or improve performance or not, you don't want osu athletes taking this stuff. It was slipped in my drink is a pretty weak argument of you ask me and being underage he prob shouldn't be drinking anyways - especially during football season and right before big game. Not that I ever drank in college or anything.

Today is Richard Nixon's centennial, which will draw attention to relevant aspects of Nixon's life and legacy besides Watergate. Nixon's grasp of American politics was unusually sharp, and a Politico story today about President Obama's striking disinterest in negotiating with Republicans calls to mind a piece of advice Nixon once gave to Ronald Reagan through William F. Buckley.
Despite the claims that Obama is "the Democrats' Reagan," Obama lacks Reagan's best qualities, especially his temperament. Nixon and Buckley were having lunch when Nixon made a suggestion for Reagan: the president's admirable affability shouldn't preclude having someone else be tough on the Democrats for him, enabling Reagan to stay above the fray. Here is how Buckley relayed the advice to Reagan ("RN" is Nixon; "RR" is Reagan):
"He needs an Agnew," RN said. "He did it for me, and he was first-rate–check his ratings back then. I did it for Ike. Ike was smooth. But when I went all-out against the Dems, and they went to Ike, he'd sort of shrug his shoulders, but when he saw me, he'd say: 'Attaboy, Dick. More of the same.'" What if [John] Connally wouldn't? Well, RR would need to find somebody who would do it. The Dems are terrifically vulnerable, but there isn't anybody out there in headline-country who's skewering them with their own vulnerabilities. It's got to be done.
Contrast that with how Obama approaches his political fights with the Republicans. A perfect example was Obama's bizarre campaign-style event at which he taunted Republicans about the fiscal cliff deal before the deal was even done. Rather than use his vice president–Joe Biden can be as vicious as they come, and he'll always get a pass from the media–to shove Republicans around, allowing Obama to stay above the fray and look presidential, Obama does this himself while tasking Biden with the actual work of governing. Here's Politico:
His apparent conclusion, after watching the implosion of the House GOP's effort to pass a modest tax increase before the final fiscal cliff deal, is that the best way to deal with the Capitol is to throw rocks at it — then send Vice President Joe Biden in to clean up the glass.
The result is that we only got a fiscal cliff deal, however imperfect, because Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reached out to Biden and the two put something together. Obama has always been uninterested in the details, which is why we had to pass the bill with his name on it–Obamacare–just to find out what's in it. And as the New York Times has reported, Obama isn't interested in building relationships with either party on Capitol Hill. With an air of entitlement, he dispenses demands and assumes someone will always be there to clean up the messes he makes in Washington.
That someone, these days, is Joe Biden. But the roles can't be reversed so easily. The public looks to the president to set the tone of an administration, and what they've seen in Obama's four years is mostly petty and vindictive behavior. And it's only a matter of time before Biden reverts back to his old "put y'all back in chains" self. Reagan's problem, according to Nixon, was that he didn't have anybody "throwing rocks" at the other side. Obama's problem is that he's running out of people to clean up the glass.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Killing Them Softly" is a stylish and violent dark comedy about low-level gangsters and thugs, set squarely within the U.S. economic collapse of autumn 2008. In rather heavy-handed fashion, it suggests that the mob functions as a microcosm of American capitalism. Thankfully, Brad Pitt is there to keep it from going under.
5 films about the financial crisis you can bank on
A lot of movies have tried to get their arms around this complicated topic that affected every single one of us in some way. Here's a look at five that did it successfully:
— "Inside Job" (2010): Winner of the Academy Award for best documentary feature, director Charles Ferguson's film accomplishes the difficult task of taking an unwieldy subject and making it accessible to a wide audience. You don't have to know the difference between a credit default swap and a collateralized debt obligation to feel enraged all over again. Still, it's a daunting topic, but with the help of user-friendly graphics and Matt Damon's narration, Ferguson breaks down the meltdown into digestible terms without ever condescending. At the same time, he's managed to make a potentially dry, headache-inducing subject cinematic: "Inside Job" is gorgeous to look at, shiny and crisp with gleaming cinematography.
— "The Queen of Versailles" (2012): David and Jackie Siegel are just like us. When the economy collapses, they're forced to lay off employees, face foreclosure on their house and start shopping for their eight kids at Wal-Mart to save money. Except the Siegels are an elderly time-share mogul and his much-younger trophy wife who were in the midst of building their dream home: a 90,000-square-foot palace that would have been the biggest house in America. Documentarian and photographer Lauren Greenfield just happened to be there to capture it all, and she never mocks them. The Siegels' lifestyle is still outrageous, but the sensation of panic they experience and the strain it puts on their marriage are relatable, turning "The Queen of Versailles" from a frothy escape into a sobering reality.
— "Up in the Air" (2009): Walter Kirn's novel, which inspired Jason Reitman's film, came out in 2001 — long before the country's economic collapse. But the story of a guy who jets across the country laying off employees took on a whole new relevance afterward. It felt especially poignant with the inclusion of real-life people who agreed to go on camera to discuss having recently lost their jobs in the recession. But the star of this six-time Oscar nominee, of course, is George Clooney as the charismatic, efficient and perpetually on-the-go Ryan Bingham. Anna Kendrick and Vera Farmiga are both excellent in supporting roles as the very different women who share his journeys.

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams remains unable to practice because of a knee injury. Williams remained sidelined again Thursday because of a bone bruise in his right knee. He was hurt during Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Coach Mike Shanahan did not rule out Williams for this week's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jordan Black will start if Williams can't play. Nickel cornerback Cedric Griffin also did not practice because of his hamstring injury. Receiver Pierre Garcon was limited because of an injured right foot. Also limited were safety Brandon Meriweather and running back Evan Royster, each with a sprained knee.

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

Fire kills 119 at poultry plant in ChinaFocuses scrutiny on China-US pork company transaction
By: Christopher Bodeen, Associated Press
BEIJING — A fire at a poultry plant in northeast China trapped workers inside a cluttered slaughterhouse, killing at least 119 in one of China's worst industrial disasters in years, despite recent work safety improvements.
Several dozen other people were hurt in the June 3 blaze in Jilin province's Mishazi township, which appeared to have been sparked by three early morning explosions, the official Xinhua News Agency says. The provincial fire department attributed the blasts to an ammonia leak. The chemical is kept pressurized as part of the cooling system in meat processing plants.
The fire was one of China's worst recent industrial disasters, with the death toll the highest since a September 2008 mining cave-in that claimed 281 lives.
It was the third major industrial blaze to be reported in China in less than a week. The two earlier fires were an oil tank explosion in Liaoning province that caused another oil tank to catch fire, killing two, and a blaze in a large granary in Heilongjiang province that wiped out 1,000 tons of grain.
Many of China's factories have sprung up in recent decades to drive the country's rapid economic growth, but accidents and chemical spills are common, often blamed on lax enforcement of safety rules and poor worker training.
The government has tightened checks on factories and mines to improve compliance with safety requirements, and deaths from workplace accidents fell nearly 5 percent last year from the previous year, according to Yang Dongliang, head of the State Administration of Work Safety.
Even in China's notoriously deadly coal mines, the death toll last year fell by more than 30 percent because of stricter management.
Taking a back seat
The accident could also focus renewed scrutiny on China's biggest pork producer, Shuanghui International — unrelated to the poultry plant — as it aims to buy U.S. food giant Smithfield in what would be China's biggest takeover of an American company.
Jason Yan, technical director in Beijing of the U.S. Grains Council, says safety considerations usually take a backseat in China to features designed to maximize production and energy efficiency.
"I'm sure they consider some aspects of safety design. However, I think safety, to me, is not the first priority in their design plan," Yan says.
State media quoted survivors as saying it was difficult for workers to escape because only one door to the plant was open, while other exits were locked and the fire spread quickly.
State broadcaster CCTV quoted unidentified workers as saying the fire broke out during a change of shifts when about 350 workers were at the plant, owned by Jilin Baoyuanfeng Poultry Co.
It wasn't clear how many workers had been accounted for and a provincial government media official, who refused to give his name, says he expects the death toll to rise as more bodies were recovered from the charred building.
Some employees raised the alarm shortly after the shift began at 6 a.m., and then the lights went out, causing panic as workers rushed to find an exit, employee Wang Fengya says.
"When I finally ran out and looked back at the plant, I saw high flames," says Fengya, 44. She and three other workers were sent to a hospital in the nearby provincial capital of Changchun.
Another worker quoted by Xinhua, 39-year-old Guo Yan, says the emergency exit at her workstation could not be opened and she was knocked to the ground in the crush of workers seeking to escape through a side door.
"I could only crawl desperately forward," Yan was quoted as saying. "I worked alongside an old lady and a young girl, but I don't know if they survived or not."
The poultry plant is one of several in the area where chickens are slaughtered and then quickly cut up into pieces and shipped to market. The entire process takes place in near-freezing conditions and such plants are usually built with large amounts of flammable foam insulation to maintain a constant temperature.
Jilin Baoyuanfeng produces 67,000 tons of processed chicken per year and employs about 1,200 people. The plant is located outside the city of Dehui, about 500 miles northeast of China's capital, Beijing.
Established in 2009, the company serves markets in 20 cities nationwide and has won numerous awards for its contribution to the local economy, according to introductions posted online.
The area where the fire occurred is an agribusiness center, especially for poultry. Nearby is one of the biggest producers of broiler chickens in China, Jilin Deda Co., which is partly owned by Thailand-based conglomerate Charoen Pokphand Group.
The June 3 fire hit a company that is much smaller than Jilin Deda. Though it's unlikely to have an impact on China's chicken supply, the accident came as chicken producers were seeing sales recover after an outbreak of a deadly new strain of bird flu, H7N9, briefly scared the public in April and early May.

CALL FOR TENDERS: ENTR/09/012 - Study on Tourism exchanges in Europe
Society is facing major changes and economic challenges. The advent of new family structures, the emergence of single-person households, increased life expectancy, financial constraints, employment issues, additional free time and population ageing in general are all factors profoundly altering the tourism environment. Ensuring universal access to holidays means, at Community level, taking account of the specific features of the European society.
The European Union must therefore equip itself to realise that objective. It is within this context that on the initiative of the European Parliament, the Budget Authority voted in favour of the preparatory action "Social Tourism in Europe"1 in 2008. Such a form of tourism allows as many people as possible to go on holiday and therefore, significantly aids mobility. Moreover, tourism exchanges of this kind can also contribute to combat seasonality, strengthen the notion of European citizenship and to promote regional development - many tourism association facilities are located in the countryside or in highland areas – besides facilitating the development of specific local economies.

Carol Beggy & Mark Shanahan wrote a column in today's Boston Globe that starts with:
FAMILY TIES For all their differences on the issues, George W. Bush and John Kerry have one thing in common -- blue blood.
Gary Boyd Roberts at the New England Historic Genealogical Society has found that the candidates are related through no fewer than eight kinships. (He'd earlier reported it was five.) For the genealogically challenged, that'd make the rivals anywhere from ninth to 13th cousins twice removed. "If they sent a Christmas card to all of their known relatives, both of them would go broke," Roberts said. (And, considering their wealth, that's saying something.) What about John Edwards and Dick Cheney? They're not related, but what is interesting is their kin: Edwards is related to the late novelist Walker Percy, and Cheney's got ties to Salem's Susannah Martin, who was executed for being a witch.

- Maes treated to silence from GOP after gubernatorial primary win
- Bennet's primary win also victory for Obama, party
- GOP resources begin shift to Buck as he focuses on Bennet
While Michael Bennet caught short naps at his Denver home Wednesday, defeated challenger Andrew Roma noff started thinking about where to sleep for the long term.
Romanoff said he will stay in Colorado in the aftermath of losing to Bennet by a wide margin in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary. But exactly where he can stay, he admitted, is a tougher question after he sold his Washington Park house to loan his campaign $250,000.
That debt could be repaid if Romanoff's crestfallen supporters can raise money, but the former Colorado House speaker does not plan to regain his house.
"I've got to find a place to live and pay some bills," he said.
Supporters started a "Repay Romanoff" campaign on Facebook.
Romanoff said he won't run for mayor of Denver in the spring, despite some Democratic suggestions he would have widespread support.
"Not a job I'm interested in," he said.
Today, Romanoff will fulfill a pledge he made in nearly every campaign speech: to support Bennet if he won. Romanoff will join Bennet and Democratic leaders at a state Capitol "unity rally" with visiting national party chairman Tim Kaine.
Bennet spent much of Tuesday night and Wednesday morning capitalizing on dozens of interview requests, including valuable national TV coverage. Fundraisers will now expand their efforts for the expensive campaign, while doubling back to primary donors and asking them to maximize their giving limit of $2,400.

Oil Pump
Name: Tom Bishop
Title: Design Responsible Engineer, Engine Lubrication and Ventilation
Years with GM: 14
Other experience: Lube and vent systems development engineer and engine calibrator for Gen IV small-block truck applications, including the 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, and 6.2L
What LS3 part(s) are you responsible for? The complete LS3 lubrication system. This includes the oil pump, oil pan, oil pickup tube, crankshaft oil deflector, oil filter, and oil
What LS7 and LS9 parts are you responsible for? Same
What other Corvette parts have you been involved with in the past? Oil pump, oil pan, oil-pickup tube, crankshaft oil deflector, valley covers, rocker covers, PCV systems (hoses and restrictors), PCV air/oil separators, front covers, oil filter, oil-fill cap, oil-fill tubes for LS2, LS3, LS7, and LS9 engines
Why do you think your LS3 part is the most important part on the engine? The most important part of any engine is the lubrication system. If it doesn't work properly, you're walking home. The oil pump is at the heart of the system and must be optimized to efficiently and effectively feed oil to the engine under all operating conditions, ranging from oil temps of -40 degrees (C) to more than 150 degrees. Corvettes are "track ready" right off the assembly line, and the lube system's performance has the ultimate say on if an engine is ready to race. The LS3 oil pump works in concert with the oil-pickup tube, the crankshaft oil deflector, and the oil-pan design (on which I hold a patent) to deliver oil to the engine at the right pressures and flows. A less-than-optimal oil pump and lube system would result in an engine that would not support the design requirements or meet customer expectations.
What is a focus area you watch when designing the LS3 part, especially knowing it is for a Corvette engine? The porting on the inside of the oil pump received a lot of attention when the LS3 pump was designed. The inlet and discharge-port geometry determine how well the pump delivers oil to the engine. Special focus was placed on port development at high engine speeds to ensure that pump performance meets the high engine-operating requirements associated with the Corvette platform. Port timing, width and depth, and port entry/exit geometry were extensively studied, analyzed, and tested to be sure that the pump's performance was optimized for all operating conditions.
What are the current trends with your LS3 part? Where is it going? Mass reductions are constantly being evaluated and implemented where feasible. Clearances between internal pump components are studied to see where internal drags and frictions can be reduced without sacrificing pump performance. More and more engine devices are hydraulically controlled, and this puts constant pressure on the oil pump to meet the ever-increasing system demands for flow and pressure.
Compare your part to aftermarket parts of the same item. What makes yours better? The LS3 oil pump is better than any aftermarket oil pump out there and backed up with extensive design work and validation testing. Before a pump leaves the GM design floor, computerized analytical tools, like Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), are used to ensure that all features are optimized for performance. Pumps are then built and extensively tested on component bench tests, as well as on firing engine-dyno tests. Finally, the pumps are installed on engines destined for test vehicles and tested on racetracks around the country—like Grattan, Virginia International Raceway, and Road America—to verify that they are track ready from the factory. Some aftermarket pumps are simply reverse-engineered versions of the GM design with cosmetic changes. Some aftermarket pump manufacturers remove or change key features without any technical understanding of the impact.
Do you own a Corvette, a classic car, or have a related hobby? My favorite work activity is riding shotgun in a Corvette on a racetrack during a development-test session, while monitoring lube-system performance. It's like riding a rollercoaster in a rocket ship. My favorite ride is my father-in-law's '79 Light Blue Corvette on an empty country road.

Robert Scott, Alpaca
Although Linux has all of the necessary tools to do networking, including
gateway devices, it is missing a comprehensive configuration utility to
stitch it all together. At the end of the day, networking in Linux is
hard, and we thought it was time for a change. We wanted something that
was powerful, easy to use and looked good. We wanted to make open source
networking sexy. Thus, we embarked on a journey to unite both classical
and romantic beauty by marrying some of the most powerful tools in Linux
Networking with some of the most celebrated web technologies. What emerged
was the *Untangle Net Alpaca* -- a new open source networking utility that
presents a consistent, reliable platform for setting up a wide range of
networking tasks, including PPPoE Management, NAT, Redirect, Packet
Filtering, Bridging, DNS, DHCP (dnsmasq), and more.
At this talk, we will go through the design and function of Untangle Net
Alpaca and demonstrate how you can use it to easily provide network
services at the gateway.
Robert Scott is a keyboard operator at Untangle. He is a passionate member
of the Free and Open Source Software community with over 10 years of Linux
experience and dedicates some of his time to developing an Open Source Car
Stereo at cadvium.net. He enjoys working in a wide range of languages and
development environments. He graduated with a degree in Computer Science
from Harvard University in 2002.
Although it is not required, we like to have an idea of how many
people to expect, so if possible please email firstname.lastname@example.com if you
are planning to attend.
For information on getting to the meeting, please see:
Traffic on 101 can be pretty bad in the evening, so we encourage you
to check traffic conditions before driving by dialing 5-1-1 on your
phone or visiting www.511.org, and if possible to take public transit
(best bet: bicycle via Caltrain) or carpool to this meeting.
