"Hydrogen is costly to produce or to separate from gas mixtures, such as reactor effluent or waste streams, due to the high capital and energy expenditures associated with compression, heat exchange, cryogenic distillation, and pressure swing adsorption (PSA)." So, basically, it's really hard to pull hydrogen out of a mixture of other gasses.
But this ultra-thin, metallic membrane of palladium alloyed with other metals enables hydrogen from coal gassification to generic cialis in india pass through, but prevents other gasses from contaminating it. Using a membrane to filter hydrogen would make it possible to produce hydrogen without the need for expensive and energy-consuming refining equipment, making hydrogen a more economical possibility.
Think of cialis injectable a coffee filter, but with high-energy gasses.
We still hold some doubts about hydrogen being the best technology for future energy needs, after all, we'd still need to mine the coal befor 'gassifying' it and EcoGeek will never promote coal mining. But this will undoubtedly help make it easier to produce hydrogen from other more environmentally friendly sources as well.

U.S. Capitol Police:
Status of Efforts to Address Prior GAO Recommendations on Administrative and Management Operations
GAO-08-540T: Published: May 1, 2008. Publicly Released: May 1, 2008.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The United States Capitol Police (USCP) is responsible for securing the 276-acre Capitol Complex, including protecting Members of Congress, visitors, and congressional facilities. In response to heightened security concerns, various requests, and legislative mandates over the years, GAO has reported on management control problems in five key areas: (1) establishing an accountability framework for monitoring recommendations, (2) establishing a risk management framework, (3) ensuring financial management, (4) ensuring strategic and human capital planning, and (5) managing information technology (IT). From January 2004 through March 2007, GAO made 46 recommendations aimed at improving USCP administrative and management operations and achieving strategic goals. This testimony reports on the status of USCP's efforts to address GAO's recommendations. To conduct its work, GAO analyzed USCP documentation, such as risk matrices, budget documents, and strategic plans. GAO also conducted interviews with USCP officials and contractors on their efforts related to its recommendations. GAO performed this work from October 2007 through April 2008. USCP generally agreed with GAO's 46 prior recommendations and GAO's assessment of the status of USCP's efforts to implement those recommendations. Along these lines, USCP needs to complete those actions in progress and address those where there has been no progress.
USCP has made significant progress in addressing the 46 recommendations GAO made since 2004. USCP has completed actions on 15 recommendations, is making progress toward addressing 28 recommendations, and has not made progress on 3 recommendations. With respect to the five areas, the status of USCP's efforts to address GAO's recommendations is as follows: (1) Accountability Framework for Monitoring Recommendations--USCP has completed actions on creating a framework to monitor progress on addressing GAO's recommendations and on reporting this progress to appropriate congressional committees and the USCP Police Board. (2) Linking Resources to Risks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities--USCP has taken steps to complete risk assessments for 18 of the 19 congressional facilities. However, additional actions will be required to adequately test and review its overall risk management approach. (3) Financial Management--USCP has completed actions on 8 GAO recommendations, including preparing its first full set of financial statements. USCP is making progress in addressing another 13 recommendations related to training, policies, procedures, and internal controls, but did not make progress toward addressing ongoing staff shortages and work imbalances. (4) Human Capital Management--USCP has implemented one recommendation by adopting a hiring policy and is making progress on seven other recommendations related to workforce planning and training. USCP has not yet addressed a ninth recommendation to monitor and evaluate the results of its strategic workforce plan because this plan is still being developed. (5) Information Technology--USCP has implemented four recommendations related to IT management capabilities and is making progress toward implementing the remaining five recommendations related to enterprise architecture, IT investment management, information security, and continuity of operations planning.

Dear Wulfere,
As a former shaman, kiss off. twh pointed out how Warriors were dominant in 2v for 3 seasons. I would like to point out that people are complaining about Paladin dominance right now. They did that Season 1. Paladins ate a huge number of nerfs, became jokes and Druids and Warriors became gods for 3 seasons.
Yet again, warriors and druids are weak and paladins are strong. So watch them get boosted into the ground while paladins and shaman become jokes.
The shaman changes are pretty much the opposite of what are needed. Pre-BC Shaman were kings of burst and they ruined it with resilience and the BC changes to the class. Now, again, PVP is about burst, and shaman are weak at it. So they give us stuff we wanted when CC was dominant. Yea, they are still a season behind. Getting a warrior to carry you won't help.

Less than 24 hours ago, I settled into bed with a new book: The Liar Society, by sisters Lisa and Laura Roecker. Less than ten minutes ago, I finished it.
Dude, y'all.
I am not the fastest reader. I tend to snuggle into books, take my time with them, read every single word. It is rare that I finish a book in two sittings (which, really, would have been a single sitting were it not for my general inability to read in bed, at night, without falling asleep).
However, this book? I read every single word and still managed to fly through it at lightning speed. It was addictive. It was intriguing. It brought that old "tension on every page" piece of advice to life. I turned page after page after page, even past the last chapter and through the acknowledgments, until there were no more pages left to turn.
The best comparison I can offer to the way I felt about this book is that it reminded me of my absolute favorite TV show: LOST. Now, when I say that, I definitely don't mean I saw any similarities in the subject matter. Aside from the fact that The Liar Society and LOST both feature main characters named Kate, there's pretty much nothing, content-wise, that's the same. So, why do I compare them?
Well, while watching LOST, my feelings about it were something along the lines of cannot-watch-just-one-episode-MUST-watch-another-because-I-MUST-see-what-happens-next! mixed with dude-I'd-better-slow-down-because-pretty-soon-I'll-run-out-of-episodes-and-then-I'll-be-sad.
This is exactly how I felt while reading The Liar Society. I devoured chapter after chapter, chewing on the little brain snacks (read: clues to solve Kate's mystery) the authors left along the way. And the ending? Well, it totally delivered. The only thing it left me hungry for is another book by these authors. (And maybe a Starbucks. Kate loves her Starbucks, and that is so something I understand.)
I've talked a lot about how this book made me feel, but at the heart of it, I think the reason comes down to this: I appreciate solid writing, and everything about this book was solid. The plotting was water-tight. The character motivations, actions, and reactions were thoroughly developed and well-executed. The setting was vivid and sprawling, a fun playground for my brain to wander around in. The main character, Kate, used logic, wisdom, and good old common sense. In my opinion, this made her extremely likable and easy to relate to (not to mention, easy to root for).
So, yes. Put this one on your to-read list, like, ASAP. (Seriously. Here's its Goodreads page.) And to Lisa and Laura, if you happen to read this, THANK YOU for writing such a fun and fabulous book. It inspires me to write more, and to take the time to write well.


text: Playing neurobiologist Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler on the CBS hit Big Bang Theory isn't much of a stretch for neuroscientist Dr. Mayim Bialik. The child star of NBC's 90's-era smash Blossom, the show that made the phrase "a very special episode" a pop-culture staple, appeared on some of the most beloved TV shows of the past 30 years. She also is a very special triple-threat—Emmy-nominated actor, scientist and author of a book on holistic parenting, "Beyond the Sling." But the Los Angeles native and daughter of first-generation American teachers and documentary filmmakers walks what she talks as an advocate of issues as diverse as attachment parenting, veganism and traditional Jewish values.How Will You Prove Your Theory?

NEW YORK (AP) -- Artem Anisimov had a goal and two assists, Henrik Lundqvist made 21 saves and the New York Rangers continued their recent success against the Philadelphia Flyers with a 5-2 fight-filled victory on Sunday.
Marian Gaborik, Michael Del Zotto, Brandon Dubinsky and Ruslan Fedotenko also scored for Eastern Conference-leading New York, which has won six straight against Philadelphia, including their four games this season. It was Anisimov's first points in 18 games.
Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds scored for the Flyers, which lost for the third time in four games. It was their first game against the Rangers since the Winter Classic in Philadelphia on Jan. 2.

Recycling was a patriotic duty. Metals were a primary target of recycling drives. Waste paper was collected to make fuses and bones were processed into explosives. Lard replaced butter as women adapted recipes to deal with shortages of sugar and dairy products.
Car bumpers were contributed in scrap drives and children collected scrap items like paper to reuse.
The focus on feeding the military and civilian populations led to development of nutrition standards and public education programs. Efforts were so successful that those in the military enjoyed better food than before the war while the civilian population was able to adequately feed the nation and large parts of the world.
"This is a challenge to all the American people—but to none of them more directly than to its women. Women must mobilize on the food front—because as consumers and homemaker they hold the key position on this sector of national defense. Theirs is the job of translating our knowledge of how food makes health into three good meals a day for their families."

'Psychotic episode' led to arson and stabbing
7:30am Saturday 7th June 2014 in News By Joe Nimmo, Senior reporter. Call me on (01865) 425373
AN ARSONIST caused £20,000 worth of damage, stabbed a man with a screwdriver and threw a stone gargoyle in a canal.
Declan Nash of no fixed address, has pleaded guilty to arson, robbery, theft, assault, racially aggravated assault and criminal damage.
The 21-year-old was described by a judge as suffering from a psychotic episode, possibly caused by long-term cannabis use, when he carried out his crimes.
On October 19 he set fire to an outbuilding which contained a large amount of property belonging to a couple living on a canal boat near Yarnton while they renovated their home.
Rachel Drake, prosecuting, said Nash caused £20,000-worth of damage and told homeowner Emma Westlake when she caught him he was "fighting against demons and angels".
She said he then approached Anny Gilchrist on her canal boat, asking to use her phone and threw a white gargoyle statue belonging to her into the canal.
Miss Drake said at the same time he stole a screwdriver, which he used to stab Richard Briggs repeatedly in the back, after knocking him off his bike, pushing him into the canal and taking his phone.
The barrister said Nash was arrested and immediately sectioned, but while in Littlemore Mental Health Hospital he attacked two members of staff.
She told Judge Mary Jane Mowat the defendant headbutted Vincent Adjaottor and threw cutlery and food at Akintayo Oladejo, while calling him an "African monkey".
Miss Drake added that he also escaped from custody while on a visit to the John Radcliffe Hospital, before eventually returning to the mental health hospital.
Jeannie Mackie, defending, said her client had started the fire because he spotted some DVDs and "wanted to destroy the demons that were within the shed".
She said: "This was behaviour that was formed by a temporary but severe psychotic breakdown."
Passing sentence Judge Mowat at Oxford Crown Court said it was a "most bizarre and difficult case" because no one had recommended Nash be given mental health treatment.
She said: "You were probably suffering from a psychotic episode at the time of these offences, most likely a drug-induced psychosis or stress-induced psychosis rather than a long-term illness.
"The only option, it seems to me, is a custodial sentence."
She sentenced Nash to 33 months in prison and told him to pay a £120 victims' surcharge.

Definition of Egypt in English:
EgyptLine breaks: Egypt
The population of Egypt is concentrated chiefly along the fertile valley of the River Nile, the rest of the country being largely desert. Egypt's history spans 5,000 years: the ancient kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt were ruled successively by thirty-one dynasties, which may be divided into the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom. Egypt was a centre of Hellenistic culture and then a Roman province before coming under Islamic rule and then becoming part of the Ottoman Empire. Modern Egypt became independent in 1922. From 1958 to 1961 Egypt was united with Syria as the United Arab Republic, a title it retained until 1971. Wars with Israel were fought in 1967 (the Six Day War) and 1973 (the Yom Kippur or October War); the countries signed a peace treaty in 1979. In 2011 a series of popular demonstrations led to President Hosni Mubarak leaving office

5 Things To Help Keep The Home Office Blues Away
Each day we sit down at our desk and begin work. We're one of the lucky few that can work in our pajamas, but even though working from home comes with certain privileges the cold hard truth is that, well, home offices are kind of lonely.
1. Pets & Plants: Even if your cat keeps jumping on your lap or your dog has brought you the entire toy box worth of toys, if you're home alone in the same room for multiple hours during the day, having a pet around can be a huge help. Although they aren't as vocal or needy, plants can convey a since of life on an unspoken level. Pick something that blooms and changes throughout the year and requires care for extra interaction.
2. Please Don't Stop The Music: Know what's better than singing in the shower? Singing at the top of your lungs to your favorite albums when no one else is around. Sure Fido might judge you, but aside from that or an extra snoopy mail man, music can go a long way to making a space feel a little more warm and personable. If you have a hard time working when the tunes are rocking, try something classical that still has lows and highs without yelling, "Pour some sugar on meeeee!"
3. Say Cheese!: Although art isn't uncommon or a small photo of your significant other, try enlarging family photos or ones from your youth. The bigger the better, bring in the memories, surround yourself with people... even if they resemble Flat Stanley.
4. Let There Be Light!: Try to get in 3 light sources into your room. An overhead, a desk lamp and potentially a floor or table lamp. Having a soothing glow is often comforting and helps you feel all wrapped up in the emotion. What? Too emo? Seriously, it's true!
5. Chat Without Killing Production: Most of the people we interact with on a daily basis aren't in our office. Does that mean we're lonely? Of course not! In between writings and photo editings, we stop and take a break and chat with fellow collegues and friends about life, love and the ongoings of the day. There might be a little gossip in there as well, but trying to keep lines of communication open is a good thing. Try to keep things to 10 minutes or less so you can stay on track... without going bonkers!
Do you work from home or spend long nights in your home office? What helps you keep things personal, lively and less than lonely? Let us know below!

So... My perfectly cordial comment, and that of the person who agreed with me, gets deleted simply because it was ever-so-slightly critical of a standard blogging practice?
Please see our Unplggd commenting policy if you have any further concerns on the issue and feel free to contact us directly with concerns.
We strive to create an open environment but do prefer to stay on topic and not detract from the subject matter at hand.
Thanks for your help in seeing to these issues!
I try to make at least one lunch date each week with friends who have "real" jobs. It gets me out of the house and gives me a reward at the same time. One rule: we never talk business!

5 auto fixes you can do (and 5 you shouldn't)
A few simple fixes can save you money. Don't get carried away, though.
Think of it as one more way to deal with the 2% you'll miss from your paycheck now that the Social Security tax has reverted to its old rate.
Seriously, the fewer things you hire someone else to do, the more money you keep in your pocket. The DIY route may also save time. You can drive to a shop and wait for someone to do a simple repair, or you can do it yourself in five to 30 minutes.
True, you may have to factor in buying parts. To save money, use a price comparison website to find the best price and have them shipped to your home.
According to AutoMD and Edmunds.com, the average car owner should be able to handle one or more of the following chores.
1. Replace wiper blades. Watch for sales at auto parts stores, then read the instructions on the package. If you've never done this before, check out the how-to video below. It's a fairly simple process.
2. Change the air filter.
This is a common upsell at quick-lube places, according to Philip Reed of Edmunds.com, but it takes only five minutes to change at home, he says.
3. Change oil and filter. Don't want to crawl under the car? You might not have to -- see "How to do a top-down oil change."
4. Replace bulbs/fuses. Depending on the vehicle, you can save $17 to $132, Reed says. Make sure you can easily get your hand into the headlight or taillight access area; if not, bite the bullet and hire a pro. Replacing a fuse is pretty simple; some vehicles include a removal tool and a spare.
5. Inflate tires. Proper inflation increases fuel economy, improves handling during emergency braking and cornering and increases the life of your tires. Get a tire gauge (they're cheap) and check pressure once a month.
Don't try these at home
What about more complicated auto repairs? The electronics in today's cars can confound most shade-tree mechanics, and some repairs need specialized equipment. The following five jobs are generally best left to the pros, according to AutoMD:
1. Replace engine. "Today's engines have more and more electronic controls, and it's easy to lose track of all the parts."
2. Replace a transmission. It's heavy and tough to remove, even with an engine hoist and vehicle lift.
3. Align wheels. Special equipment is required -- so special, in fact, some repair shops don't even have it. "It is not practical for a DIYer to have this equipment."
4. Replace clutch. This requires removing the transmission, plus specialized equipment including a transmission jack, engine hoist and clutch alignment tool.
5. Replace air-conditioning components. Only a certified technician can work with refrigerants, which are harmful gases. In addition, not following accepted repair procedures can damage the A/C system.
If you decide to do other jobs yourself, check out Edmunds' how-to article archive or AutoMD's how-to articles and videos.
Start slowly and be realistic about the limits of your abilities. All the money you saved doing small jobs could be wiped out by one ill-advised repair attempt.

|Oh so close on this one. After a dusting of snow fell a few days before, I decided conditions might still be ample to bag this one from BCC via the standard route. It was another beautiful fall afternoon, I made good time up to the alpine cirque and started directly up the east slopes to the summit ridge. At around 400 feet below the ridge it started to get REAL sketchy with 3 inches of powder covering slick rocks. I had neither my axe nor crampons so I elected to ditch the effort about 100 feet below the ridgeline. Still an awesome time: http://photos.aleclalonde.com/main.php?g2_itemId=4584

|First attempt: Nov. 3, 2007
Snow shooed up the snowfield to the saddle. Snow was perfect for shoes. However, it was too thin at the saddle to offer good footing through the cliffband, so we didn't get onto the ridge. Next time:(
Success! Sep. 6, 2008
Beautiful day. Ascended from the east, via the saddle between the Twins and Sunrise. We descended down the north ridge, from the east twin.

|This was a great trip, my Dad (65) grew up in the shaddow of these peaks, he had only climbed the twins from Def Smith canyon, when he was a boy. He recently (18 months) had his left knee replaced with a prosthetic knee, and he wanted to make the summit again. We had decided that we would make it a two day trip, starting Sunday morning, we would try to make the upper circ, camp overnight and try for the summit the next day. As it all turned out our plan worked. We made it to our base camp in 7 hours, from the trail head. The next morning, after 3 1/2 hours, my Dad stood on the East summit once again. Seven hours later we were back at the trail head. One of my best days in the mountains.

|Via Robinson Variation
Date Climbed: Sep 1, 2007
|Another of the SP group that summited on Sept. 1 of 2007. We had good weather (a bit hot), the route was lots of fun, and it was a great group to be out with. I had big ideas of doing the Triple Traverse, but was moving slow, so I ditched out after tagging the Twins.

Date Climbed: Sep 1, 2007
|Climbed to both East and West Broads Fork Twin Peaks via the Robinson Variation with a group from SP. We attempted to make it to the unnamed peak between the Twins and Sunrise, but a falling rock accident (I was hit in the shoulder and ankle) caused us to turn around early just below the unnamed peak.

|Very fun climb with a great group from SP. We ascended the Robinson Variation and the scrambling was excellent. We had plans to do the triple traverse while we were up there, but I didn't have the legs to do anything more than Broads. Some of the others in the group did keep going after the rest of us went down.

|First Time up Broads Fork and made it to the top of East Twin in about 2.75 hours. Tagged along with two other hikers on the top of East Twin to Sunrise and Dromedary. Great clear day.

|Route Climbed: Broads Fork
Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2007
|Went up through Broads Fork in 100+ degree heat. Climbing in uncomfortable boots during such hot, dry conditions made it one of the most difficult hikes I've undertaken, but overall it was very rewarding. The views from the lower meadow, the saddle below East Twin Peak, and the summit itself were first class. The most tiring part of the climb was the seemingly never-ending talus field leading up to the Cottonwood Ridge. The steep scrambling above the saddle was quite exhilarating. Because of the blistering heat, we wisely decided to forego the traverse to West Twin Peak and turned around after obtaining the higher East Twin Peak. See "Beating the Heat" trip report for details.

Date Climbed: May 7, 2010
|5-29-07 3rd time on summit, via Ferguson Canyon. On May 12th this year we touched both East and West summits as a part of the Triple Traverse, and my 1st time up was via the Broads Fork trail several years ago. If you like scrambling and sweeping views mixed in with sloughing quartzite along steep ridges, you'll love this climb along the ridge above and east of Ferguson Canyon. Plan for all day. Still enough snow to allow us to glissade down Broads Fork for at least 1,300'. Fun, fun, fun. #4 was 9/18/07 as the first peak of the entire Cottonwood Ridge run. Nice but windy. #5 (both east and west) as part of my 2nd Triple Traverse on 5-6-08. Much snow this year! 6th time 7-15-08 (both peaks) from Ferguson Canyon via Ferguson and Stairs Peaks and then the latter part of the so-called Robinson Variation. Still glissading opportunities in upper Broads Fork basin. #7 7-19-08 As part of 2nd Cottonwood Ridge run. #8 4-30-09 All snow above the bridge. Tough, tough going over and through the avalanche debris; 5" of new snow had not quite bonded with the older stuff. Took new route - very steep and NOT recommended to anyone! 5+00 up 2+42 down #9 on 5-16-09 (both summits) w/ Dave & Christine as part of Triple Traverse. #10 5-7-10 W/ Joe Bullough-part of TT; both peaks; mucho trailbreaking on cornice-packed dicey ridges. Therefore, much fun! :) #11 7-3-10 As part of Cottonwood Ridge run. #12 7-13-10 W/ Dave & Anne - Ferguson Canyon route over Ferguson & Stairs Peaks. #13. 7-3-12 w/ Brent. Some snow fields in the upper basin below the saddle. Turtle pace up in 4+35 & okay down in 3+14. I bagged the west peak, and why not? #14 8-11-12 As part of the ridge traverse. 1st peak in a long string of 'em. #15 6-29-13 Snow in upper basin on approach but warm, warm weather. Mit einer unbeschreiblichen Wanderungspartnerin. #16 7-1-14 Solo. Snow in upper basin. 3+42 up. IVD

|A very rewarding hike/scramble. It was very busy, considering it was Labor Day. I saw some bypassing difficult sections on the ridge by dropping a hundred feet or so into the Big Cottonwood side, and others taking the main ridge itself. I saw a fire flare up down Deaf Smith canyon while sitting on the West summit.

Three men allegedly got out of a Chevy truck in the area of Balboa Drive and Derecho Way at around 2:10 p.m. Another person exited a residence, and the group began fighting.
One man was allegedly hit in the head with an unknown type of bottle, and at least two men were seen bleeding. Another man was reportedly stabbed and taken to Sutter Tracy Community Hospital by a family member.
Police arrested a 25-year-old man for possession of marijuana. It's unclear what his possible role was in the fight. Officers also requested that the truck be towed.
Tracy police received 383 calls for service Friday, Dec. 14, to Sunday, Dec. 16. The following is a sample of those calls.

He also had an outstanding warrant.
12:24 a.m.: A boy was booked into juvenile hall after being arrested on Sagewood Lane. Police were alerted to the sound of gunshots in the area, and the caller saw two males walking along Whispering Wind Drive, just north of Sagewood, about a minute after the shots were heard. Police made contact with the two nearby and arrested one.
5:56 p.m.: A woman said a man was harassing her and her mother outside a baby shower on the 300 block of Evans Street. She said the man drove back and forth in front of the house spinning the truck's tires, and was yelling her mother's name at the house. He was gone when police arrived.
8:08 p.m.: An alleged domestic dispute led to the arrest of a man for battery on the 1700 block of Parker Polich Court.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH - The first New Smyrna Beach Jazz Festival produced by Marc Monteson almost didn't happen 12 years ago.
"It was 10 days after 9/11 and we were teetering on canceling it," Mr. Monteson said. "But we were encouraged by supporters to continue on with the event.
The 12th annual New Smyrna Beach Jazz Festival, an intimate indoor event, takes place Sept. 21-23. Performances will be in the Flagler Avenue Historic District, the Historic Downtown District or Third Avenue.
The kick-off party will be at the Flagler Tavern, 414 Flagler Ave., from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sept. 21, featuring music by The Marc Monteson Quartet.
This is one of two events that require a ticket, Mr. Monteson said.
Admission is free for all other events.
At the first festival, "People had cabin fever after 9/11 so the jazz festival was a release for them. We had great crowds," Mr. Monteson said. "People said they wanted to get out and do something."
Among this year's performers who were at that first event is the Thom Chambers Trio, he said. They've been at 11 of the 12 festivals.
Some returning favorites are jazz vocalists Jacqueline Jones, who also performed at the inaugural event 12 years ago, and local favorite Linda Cole.
The late Harold Blanchard also helped launch the first festival.
The second festival in 2002 featured two trumpeters, on separate stages.
Mr. Monteson said this year's festival is dedicated to the memory of those two trumpeters Joe Mose and Bobby Branca, who both died in the past year.
Making its first festival appearance is the Orlando Jazz Orchestra, performing from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23, at the Brannon Center, 105 S. Riverside Drive. They appeared to a sold-out crowd at the Brannon Center last year. Tickets are required.
Mr. Monteson said this year the festival is branching out into the downtown historic district, including The Hub, Jason's Corner and the Brannon Center.
Some of the other big names to appear are a new version of the Four Freshmen and also Ira Sullivan, a jazz legend from Miami.
Mr. Monteson, a vocalist, said his brother, Anthony "Hutch" Monteson, a jazz pianist, is coming this year.

(Reuters) - BNY Mellon Corp
Banks such as Morgan Stanley
BNY Mellon said on Wednesday it would add private and mortgage bankers, portfolio managers and wealth strategists at the wealth management unit.
"As part of a long-term growth strategy, we are dedicating substantial resources toward strengthening wealth management's global distribution capabilities and team," Curtis Arledge, Chief Executive of BNY Mellon Investment Management, said in a statement.
BNY Mellon and other custody banks have been struggling with low interest rates. The company reported a first-quarter loss due to a high-stakes tax battle with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
BNY Mellon shares closed at $30.09 on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday.

In the winter months when it's cold outside, many of us sit in front of our fireplaces and plan trips. I have a suggestion. Instead of thinking of Alaska or far west or a Caribbean Island, why not plan a trip to Quebec for next summer? Then, when the temperature and humidity soars on the Carolina coast, you'll be playing the links in slacks and a sweater.
My husband and I have been to Quebec three times—on our honeymoon, then for a family reunion and just a few weeks ago for a second romantic trip a deux.
The Ocean Ridge couples tournament played Sunday at Panther's Run was a modified Stableford format.
First at -92 was the team of Gordon and Kathy Wicke and Bob and Mary Kish. Second at -80 was the team of Bob Larkin II, Doris McLaughin and Pete and Becky Williams. Tying for third at -76 were the teams of Ed and Di Gruver and Roger and Linda Buck, and Lynn and Beverly Furman and Larry and Diane Wright. Tying for fifth at -75 were the teams of Allen and Judy Keegan and Brian and Toni Roe, and Chappy and Peggy Jones and Bob and Grace Bradicich.
Ocean Isle Beach once again can claim to have two of the best surfers on the East Coast.
The East Coast Surfing Championships—the oldest-running surfing contest in the United States and the largest on the East Coast—took place Aug. 21-24 at Virginia Beach, Va. Jesse McCrery won the Masters Championship (for those 18-34) and Owen Moffett the Men's Championship.
Michael Powell, a former Men's Division champion, finished second in the Open Championship.
Bike rider and fundraiser are inseparable words to describe Roy Cundiff.
On Saturday and Sunday, the Sea Trail resident will participate in Bike MS. This is a 150-mile bike ride from and to New Bern to raise funds to support people living with multiple sclerosis in eastern North Carolina and throughout the United States.
"To me," Cundiff said, "it's a good cause. Secondly, it's good exercise. And it's a goal, my objective for the year."
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.—Thomas Poole won for the 13th time in 17 Street Stock races this season at Myrtle Beach Speedway.
In the race Aug. 30, Poole, the defending points champion, finished ahead of Dean Cumbee, Kent Bellamy, Clay Gossett and David Hatchell.
Poole, a Brunswick County driver, has a 56-point lead over Cumbee for the season title.
In Mini-Stocks, Lucas Williams won for the first time this season. Adam Fulford was second, defending points champion Ronnie Campbell third, Dub Fulford fourth and Willie Fulford fifth.
It was May 2002 and I was interviewing a student for a feature about her high school athletic career.
She was one of those athletes who excelled in every sport in which she competed: swimming, soccer, cross country and track. She could have received athletic scholarships in any one of the sports, but she decided she wanted to concentrate on soccer.
Her college choice: the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
It seems that almost every tropical storm or hurricane that hits the U.S. affects us in Brunswick County in some way. Most of the time it's after the storm makes landfall and moves northeast, bringing lots of rain and increased winds. However, Hanna was a special case for us, as it put an absolute bull's-eye on Brunswick County.
You can walk the length of a local fishing pier in the fall and pass many rows of bottom-fishermen. First, there will be a few guys drowning minnows for flounder, and then gobs of spot anglers bunched up in hordes hoping for a run of fall yellow-bellies. These are generally calm people. Eventually, however, as you reach the deep end of the pier you may find a diverse pod of frenzied guys and girls casting and re-casting small plugs out into the water, lures that look for all the world like thin pencils with colored heads and three dangerous treble hooks attached to them.
On Aug. 25 through Sept. 1, I traveled with Dalton Gore as his chaperone and caddie to Pebble Beach, Calif., for the Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach. What follows is my journal account of key events, observations and thoughts.
Tuesday, Aug. 26
Up early and prepare to go to tournament registration. As we start to leave, Gary McCord and Ben Crenshaw are seated at the pro registration table. We are pumped.
Stop by and get our practice times for Del Monte today and Pebble tomorrow. Off to range to hit balls and warm up.
During the Carolinas Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony and reception Aug. 25 in Pinehurst, a young man got up from my table, grabbed a guitar, went to the microphone and sang a song that had everyone laughing out loud.
The name of the ditty was "Triple Bogey with 17 Holes to Play." It chronicled a golfer's agony when he's practiced hard all summer and has a meltdown of epic proportions on the very first hole of play.

Advertisement: Preregister now for the Medicine 2.0 Congress
Welcome Message from the Scientific Programme Committee
Theorodos N Arvanitis; Gunther Eysenbach; Jack Woodall
ABSTRACTIt gives us great pleasure to welcome you to MEDNET99 - The 4th World Congress on the Internet in Medicine.
MEDNET99 is an international meeting which aims to bring together researchers, developers and users involved in the application of the Internet in Medicine. The Congress - this year under the theme "Towards the Millennium of Cybermedicine - will provide a forum for exploration of the rapidly developing relationship between medical sciences and the Internet, and is relevant to all medical and health care professionals, as well as those involved in the development and application of the new technological opportunities offered to the medical field by the Internet and the World Wide Web.
This year's Congress will take place over three full days, 19th - 21st September 1999, in the small and beautiful town of Heidelberg, one of the most famous tourist destinations in Germany and the town with the oldest German University.
MEDNET99 follows on from three successful MEDNET meetings, all held in the United Kingdom, which were attended by large international and multi-disciplinary groups of delegates. MEDNET98 was attended by more than 250 participants. After these three successful conferences in the United Kingdom, this year's MEDNET will for the first time be hosted outside of the UK. It will therefore hopefully be the first in a long series of World Congresses of Internet in Medicine hosted in different countries around the globe.
MEDNET99 will be preceded by several events on Saturday, 18th September: In a series of tutorials, experts in the field share their knowledge. To take account of local developments in the Internet scene we also organised a satellite symposium on "Internet and Medicine in Germany". A further novum is the "patient afternoon", where we bring together health care professionals with consumers to talk about medical information — in particular cancer information — on the Internet.
MEDNET99 will be focusing on the following themes:
- applications of the Internet in medical information exchange and medical education
- role of Internet and information exchange in evidence-based healthcare
- use of the Internet for consumer health promotion and impact of the Internet on public health
- global and regional health information networks
- commercial information systems and portal sites for physicians
- eJournals and scientific publishing on the Internet, online peer-review, impact of Internet on traditional medical publishing
- telemedicine
- search engines, search agents and other search tools
- electronic mail
- using the Internet for medical research and clinical trials
- quality of Internet information
- Internet usage statistics and demographics
- clinical information systems and Intranets
- system design issues
- legal and ethical issues
On behalf of the organisers and the Scientific Programme Committee of MEDNET99, we would like to extend a warm welcome to Heidelberg and we hope that you will all have a stimulating and rewarding Congress.

Special Message to Our Supporters
Lately, I've been finding myself thinking back on the year and how much I've seen God do here at Campbell University. Our staff and student servant leaders have had the exciting experience of witnessing God move on this campus. We've seen the gospel of God's grace cause students to give up trying to live their lives with themselves at the center, and instead begin seeking God's will for their lives....and when young people start making decisions like that in the midst of a college atmosphere that screams "live it up while you're here; settle down later," it is impossible for their college peers to not notice, and God is glorified.
Needless to say, we're so thrilled about how God is moving in hearts here and we can definitely sense a tangible momentum within the body of believers and the students they are reaching out to. We're just trying to continue to proclaim God's word and collectively abide in Christ, trusting that God will continue to sovereignly advance his kingdom on this campus. It is HIS campus, and we trust him when he says in Matthew 28 that all authority belongs to him and that he wants the people he has created to be disciples of his. He is making that clear to us here!
This is a semi-unusual blog post, because we usually give updates on more holistic ministry events, but I just felt compelled to share with our supporters how God is tangibly acting on his word at a small school south of Raleigh/Durham!
So, as I've been looking back on the year and all that God has done so far, it's made me so very thankful for my supporters, and I know that I speak on behalf of everyone else on staff with Campus Outreach Raleigh when I express appreciation to all of you who are on our support teams. It is by your generosity and partnership in fulfilling God's calling that we are on these campuses and have the privilege of being a part of seeing him transform the lives of these young men and women. We are SO GRATEFUL for each one of you and are blessed to have people like you in our lives who want to be a part of what God is doing at these schools. Thank you!

SeaWorld San Diego celebrates its 45th birthday
Written by Robert Niles
It's a week for theme park birthdays in Southern California. Yesterday, Legoland celebrated its 10th birthday. And today, SeaWorld San Diego celebrated its birthday - its 45th.Tweet
On March 21, 1964, the first SeaWorld opened on Mission Bay in San Diego, the brainstorm of four UCLA fraternity brothers. The opening day ceremonies were hosted by Art Linkletter, one of the celebrities who hosted the Disneyland opening less than a decade before.
One of the four park founders, George Millay, who passed away in 2006, became the park's first president, as well as its creative force. Under his direction, SeaWorld eventually expanded to Ohio and Orlando. (Millay, incidentally, went on to found the Wet n' Wild water park in Orlando after being ousted at SeaWorld.)
SeaWorld, of course, became more than ocean-themed amusement park, becoming an accredited zoo with a strong animal rescue program, and of course, a slew of animal shows.
In honor of SeaWorld's birthday, here are links to two stories I did on the park last summer, including my time in the tank with the park's beluga whales.
Readers' Opinions
From Anthony Murphy on March 22, 2009 at 8:53 AM
I always forget about how old the Busch Parks really are! I keep thinking that the Magic Kingdom was the "first park" to start everybody else on the theme park business (Disneyland being the only other one). I am wrong of course! Good for them! I hope they get 45 more!
From Bruce Lane on March 22, 2009 at 9:51 PM
So Sea World SD just turned 45? Interesting. I was not aware that they were, in fact, the first park of the chain. Now that I think about the timeline, it makes sense. They wanted to give Marineland in Palos Verdes a bit of competition, most likely, and I will grant that they have enjoyed much success.
However, I would consider the following before deciding that Sea World gets all the "bragging rights," as it were.
There is an oceanarium still in existence today (thriving, in fact) that has been around a lot longer. Although the idea of captive marine mammals dates back over a century, the first practical oceanarium (as in one that did not mean quick death for its inhabitants) first opened in 1937, in the form of Marineland near St. Augustine, Florida.
That makes them ... let's see ... Ah! Seventy-two. That also makes them the oldest surviving ocean park in the United States. ;-)
I would point out that while Sea World may get all the publicity, and consider themselves to be a tremendous success in many ways, none of their parks (nor very many others, for that matter) have come close to Marineland's records for something I think is far more important than any thrill-ride or tackily-scripted show: The successful long-term survival of captive dolphins.
I'm referring, specifically, to one of Marineland's female bottlenose dolphins, name of Nellie. She just turned 56, which in human years would be about 104. And she's still going strong!
You don't have to take my word for it. Read for yourself.
What a fascinating park Marineland is! They never needed roller coasters or "theme" rides to survive into their seventh decade, nor has their considerable and obvious success stemmed from bizarre stage shows that, as someone once said to me, look like a cross between Cirque du Soleil (did I spell that right?) and the London Philharmonic.
Sea World SD may indeed see their 90th. Who can tell? However, although I'm pretty sure I'll be gone before then (as I think many of us will), I would be very curious to see if they can keep going the way they're going and reach their 72nd (or even their 46th).
I'm content to let history itself be the judge.
Happy travels.

Sam Amick's post on Basketball | Latest updates on Sulia
As @mr_jasonjones noted, Tyreke Evans' agent, Arn Tellem, made a rare appearance tonight to express his concerns about the former Rookie of the Year's role. He met with Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie, Evans' brother, Reggie, and another Tellem rep as well. Source close to Evans says he's frustrated with how marginalized he's become. Evans' reps are encouraging him to be more vocal about his perspective going forward. No extension discussions (he's eligible this summer), FWIW.

27 January 2012
Speech by Ms. Lakshmi Puri Assistant Secretary-General and Deputy Executive Director UN Women at the initial consultations on the Zero Draft of the Rio+20 Outcome Document, New York, 25 January 2012.
[Check against delivery.]
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
At the outset, I wish to thank and commend the Co-Chairs for preparing this Zero Draft of the Rio + 20 Outcome Document and for providing UN-Women the opportunity to underscore the centrality of gender equality and the empowerment of women for sustainable development.
We appreciate the identification and inclusion of gender equality and the empowerment of women as a priority, key thematic, cross-sectoral area in the zero draft. However, as many delegations and groups that spoke before me already highlighted, there is a need to better reflect and strengthen references to gender equality and women's empowerment in the entire text of the Outcome Document. We have provided some suggested language in the zero draft, including in the preamble, renewing political commitment, engaging major groups, framework for action, green economy, institutional framework, toolkits and experience sharing, and sustainable development goals, among others, which we hope Member States will take into account in further engendering the Rio+20 Outcome Document.
We share Member States' view that the Outcome Document should be more balanced, inclusive and action-oriented. Moreover, as equity is an inalienable part of sustainable development, the Rio+20 outcome document must be cognizant of women's valuable contribution to promoting sustainable development and at the same time benefit from it.
In fact, this is already enshrined in the Rio Principles and Agenda 21. Principle 20 of the Rio Declaration reads and I quote: "Women have a vital role in environmental management and development. Their full participation is therefore essential to achieve sustainable development.
Similarly, Chapter 24 of Agenda 21 itself, the Nairobi Forward-looking Strategies for the Advancement of Women, and the Beijing Platform Declaration and Platform for Action, all recognized and reaffirmed the important contribution of women in sustainable development. Likewise, the UN System through the Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) and Member States' own statements and interventions in various multilateral fora, in bilateral meetings, as well as in UN-Women-sponsored meetings and events, have acknowledged the critical linkage between gender equality and the empowerment of women and sustainable development in its three dimensions - social and economic development, and environmental protection. In fact, we believe that reflecting this in the outcome document could be among the greatest value-added of the Rio+20 Conference.
We thank all Member States and groups that have equally stressed the need to strengthen references to gender equality and the empowerment of women in the zero draft and the emphasis on the critical linkages between gender equality and the empowerment of women and sustainable development.
Allow me to present a summary of UN-Women's key messages which Member States may find useful as they negotiate a Rio+20 Outcome Document that adequately reflects the key role of women in sustainable development, and affirms that gender equality and women's empowerment are crucial in achieving sustainable development in its three dimensions.

Police Chief Gary Hampton and Mayor Brent Ives swore in the new additions during the City Council meeting Tuesday, Aug. 20.
Family members joined the officers and helped pin their badges.
"All five of these officers may be new to the city of Tracy, but they are certainly far from being new to law enforcement," Hampton said. "We are very blessed in the city of Tracy to attract some of the most experienced and successful officers."
Hampton noted that the new hires — all joining as officers — are filling vacancies created by officers retiring after 20 or more years with the department.
Dwayne Pavelski attended Fresno Police Academy before joining as a deputy with the Merced County Sheriff's Office in 2006. He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps, and lives in Tracy with his wife.
Camillo Swiger comes from the San Mateo Police Department, where he had served as an officer since 2005. Swiger completed his police training at the South Bay Regional Training Academy in San Jose. He is married and has a daughter and a son.
Troy Silcox graduated from West High School in 2007 and has served as a deputy with the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department since 2004.

He was joined at the council meeting by his wife, 6-year-old son and 3-year-old twins.

Chestnut holds hot dog recordBy JULIE WALKER
The Associated Press | July 05,2014AP photo
Joey Chestnut raises his trophy in the air after winning Nathans Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating contest at Coney Island, Friday in New York. Chestnut finished first by consuming 61 hot dogs and buns.NEW YORK High-ranking chowhound Joey Jaws Chestnut dropped to one knee and proposed to his longtime girlfriend before Fridays annual hot dog eating contest, then packed away 61 franks and buns to hold onto his coveted mustard yellow winners belt.
The San Jose, Calif., resident fell far short of his record last year of 69 dogs and buns, but he still easily beat second-place finisher Matt Stonie, also of San Jose, who downed 56. Winning was the only option, the newly engaged champion said afterward. I wasnt going to taint today with a loss.
Chestnut took a quick timeout before the annual Nathans Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island to make it official with his longtime girlfriend, Neslie Ricasa, who is also a competitive eater.
In the womens division, defending champion Sonya Black Widow Thomas lost her title to Miki Sudo.
Sudo, of Las Vegas, wolfed down 34 franks and buns. Thomas, of Alexandria, Virginia, devoured 27¾.
Chestnut has won eight times in a row. In 2010, his former rival Takeru Kobayashi refused to sign an exclusive contract with Major League Eating, the food equivalent of the NFL, and was banned from competition.
This year, the Japanese native, nicknamed the Tsunami, competed against five other eaters at a separate event in Manhattan in a quest to down the most hot dogs without buns in 10 minutes. He was victorious in that bun-less eat-off, downing 113 frankfurters, an event spokeswoman said.MORE IN This Just InAn alleged fight outside a bar between Red Sox and Yankees fans has led to the suspension of two...

We really could have used this during yesterday's Podcast recording, where we all tried to do our best to guess what the hell happened in the past three "Underworld" films. Oh well, you don't need context to understand Kate Beckinsale in skintight leather shooting things. Still, here it is:
The entire "Underworld" trilogy in under 3 minutes, via iO9
James Gunn just posted a bunch of behind the scenes stills from "Slither" to his Facebook, some never before seen. Including this one. This is a pretty good pictographic representation of what I imagine his personality is like.
I've been seeing this artwork on a giant standee at my local theater, and had hoped they'd bring it to a wide released poster. Looks like someone's been listening in on the voices in my head.
It suggests to me the ruins of an ancient society, which when you begin to mesh that with the "Alien" universe, has all sorts of interesting possibilities. "Prometheus", directed by Ridley Scott, lands June 8th of this year.
Kate Beckinsale and her supernaturally perky bottom won the box office this weekend with $25,400,000. That's more than the opening of the last film in the series, and I would think enough to guarantee we see another one. I saw it today, and I'm okay with that. My full review will be up shortly.
Meanwhile, the entire BGH Podcast crew sits down tomorrow night for a roundtable discussion in Episode 194, look for that later in the week.
I prefer to read the title to "The Darkness, the Rage, The Fury" with an overwrought British accent in my head. Not sure why, just seems appropriate. It looks mega low-budget but the tease of the monster at the end has me sold. Now available at Amazon as a "7-day download" for $1.99. Hard to beat that if you're looking to give some indie horror a try.
Let's just say it, "Gingerclown 3D" is a fantastic name for a film. The cast also looks great, Lance Henriksen, Tim Curry, Michael Winslow... but then I watched the trailer, and there isn't a single "Ginger" in it. I can't help but assume they're using the South Park-ian definition, a pasty redhead with no soul. Otherwise, what the hell is a "Gingerclown"? I feel like I've been lied to here. The trailer's still fun, but I have to admit, if there's no gingers in it I make no promises about watching it. I am not to be trifled with.
Method Man has a pocket watch. Your argument is invalid. Bonus points go to the PR company for using the phrase "Urban Thriller". I appreciate when a company goes out of its way to let me know I shouldn't watch a movie. Helps with time management. (click to enlarge)
"The Office" is probably my favorite show of all time, surpassing "Seinfeld" by virtue of feeling more modern and the fact that I recently discovered it's no longer cool to like "Seinfeld". Seriously, tell a 21 year old you love that show and watch his eyes gloss over. They don't get it, STUPID KIDS AND THEIR TAMAGACHIS...
Let's be clear, I'm not saying I made this happen.
It occurred to me recently, that through nearly 5 years of doing our podcast, I've forced the crew to sit through every sequel of every crappy theatrical franchise known to man. We've seen every "Saw" movie", every "Resident Evil" sequel, mainly because well, our mission is to keep our fingers on the pulse of the genre, and you can't do that by only watching movies you loved from your childhood. Admittedly, there might be a little sadism involved as well, but that depends on who you ask ;)
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".
