The WWT Process is a proprietary, two-stage sour water stripping process that separates ammonia and hydrogen sulfide streams from sour waters generated by a refinery's process units. The technology also allows debottlenecking of sulfur plants and can reduce the cost of new sulfur units.
Engineering group Bechtel on Monday purchased
Chevrons wastewater treatment (WWT) process, a technology that improves the
efficiency of petroleum refineries.
The WWT Process is a proprietary, two-stage sour water
stripping process that separates ammonia and hydrogen sulfide
streams from sour waters generated by a refinerys process units.
The technology also allows
debottlenecking of sulfur plants and can reduce the cost of new
sulfur units, especially in refineries that process high
nitrogen crudes.
This is a world-class technology that enhances our
capability to deliver customers high-quality, technologically
superior water and sulfur processing units more efficiently and
cost effectively, said Scott Johnson, vice president and
general manager of Bechtels onshore oil and
gas/downstream division.
This acquisition complements our current suite of refinery technologies and continues
our long-standing practice of making sure we have the right
resources to help our customers meet their needs," he
The WWT Process was developed and improved by Chevron
over the past 40 years. The process achieves higher purity
separation and recovery of ammonia from sour water streams,
reduces the size requirements of sulfur plants and removes
operating problems associated with ammonia salts in sulfur
units, according to company officials.
The stripped water is suitable for reuse or discharge through
downstream treating facilities. The high-purity hydrogen
sulfide is a premium feed to conventional sulfur recovery units
or sulfuric acid plants.
Meanwhile, the ammonia may be recovered for commercial sale,
internal use, or separately incinerated.

is a very good technology, but , as how control the pH and how many chemicals consume a year.I think is an usually technology over the past 40 years my cuestion is if exist other different technology as state of art and vry efficiency.thanks a lot.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Pacers rally past Heat
|Indiana Pacers forward Paul George, center, is trapped by Miami Heat forward LeBron James, right, and guard Mario Chalmers in the first half of an NBA basketball game in Indianapolis, Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2013. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy)
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Roy Hibbert scored 24 points and Paul George had 15 of his 17 points during a second-half rally to lead the Pacers past Miami 90-84 Tuesday night in a matchup of the Eastern Conference's top two teams.
Indiana improved its league-best record to 19-3 and extended its lead to three full games by beating Miami at home for the fourth straight time.
LeBron James led the Heat with 17 points, 14 rebounds and six assists but had only three baskets and nine points over the final 36 minutes. Dwyane Wade also scored 17 for Miami, which has now lost three of five.
The Heat led by 13 in the first half and didn't trail until Hibbert completed a three-point play with 6:12 left in the third quarter to put the Pacers ahead 58-57. But with George heating up, Hibbert dominating the middle and Indiana's bench playing solid, Miami couldn't tie it or take the lead again.
The difference for Indiana, as usual, was the third quarter.
Only this time, the knockout punch came with much more significance against the two-time champs.
Indiana, which made a late charge from a 13-point deficit late in the first half to close to 47-40 at halftime, opened the third with back-to-back baskets including the Pacers' first 3-pointer of the game to close the deficit to four. Indiana finally tied the score at 55 when George Hill hit a 3 with 8:15 left in the third.
Hibbert's second three-point play of the quarter finally gave Indiana its first lead, 58-57, with 6:12 to go, and then George went to work. The NBA's No. 4 scorer managed only two points in the first half and made his first basket with 3:51 to go in the third but still managed to score 12 in a quarter that the Pacers took a 68-64 lead.
The surge didn't stop there.
When Hibbert returned early in the fourth, the Pacers immediately went to him on back-to-back possessions, starting the decisive 12-6 run that gave Indiana an 82-74 lead with 4:59 to go.
It sure didn't look like things would end this way when the game began.
Miami took control quickly by double-teaming George and getting physical with him and Lance Stephenson to force them into an array of bad shots and early miscues. The Heat jumped to a 13-7 lead and followed that with an 11-0 spurt to make it 28-15 late in the first.
Indiana's overhauled bench, rebuilt to contend with Miami in a seven-game playoff series, trimmed the deficit to 32-25 early in the second quarter. But after Miami's starters returned en masse, the Heat went on an 8-2 run to rebuild a 44-31 edge, and the Pacers finished the half on a 9-3 spurt to close to get within seven before taking control in the third and pulling away late.

Food Safety for the Entire Family
Most types of food poisoning manifest themselves in the intestinal tract and are often characterized by vomiting and diarrhea. The sudden onset of intestinal problems without a cold, runny nose, cough, or body aches and pains should be enough to distinguish foodborne illness from the flu. In fact, it typically takes a day or so to develop the flu symptoms of fatigue and all-over achiness; this general malaise is usually accompanied by nasal or chest congestion, runny nose, cough, and fever. Depending on the germ, the symptoms of foodborne illness can be apparent in as little as thirty minutes.
When trying to determine if food is to blame when your child falls ill, it may be tough to get to the bottom of the situation, however. Youngsters don't always have the words to describe their discomfort or tell you what is going on in their bodies. It's even worse when trying to figure out how your infant is faring. Don't wait for a definitive answer. Call your doctor to discuss your child's situation. Make haste when children have any amount of bloody diarrhea, because it's a sign that your child may have consumed the potentially deadly Escherichia coli (E. Coli) 0157:H7. The simultaneous symptoms of stiff neck, headache, and fever should be reported immediately, too. If your youngster vomits or has diarrhea two or more times daily for twenty-four to forty-eight hours, he may need to see his pediatrician, given his risk for dehydration and its complications.
Curb Cross-Contamination
You may be in for trouble when juices from raw meat, poultry, or seafood, or germs from unclean objects such as utensils, touch cooked or ready-to-eat foods. Separate raw meats and ready-to-eat foods such as salad greens. Make it easier to avoid cross-contamination by using separate plates for holding raw meat, poultry, and seafood and another for the cooked versions. When possible, designate separate cutting boards for raw animal products and for ready-to-eat foods such as bread and salad greens. Use different-colored boards so that you won't mix them up. Discard old cutting boards worn with cracks, crevices, and excessive knife scars because germs can thrive there.
Turn Up the Heat
Cooking destroys harmful bacteria, but only when it's done right. Animal products are particularly prone to foodborne illness, but applying the right temperature typically fends off troublesome germs. With the exception of eggs and fish, experts say that you cannot tell whether animal products are properly cooked by their appearance. Invest in a meat thermometer to be sure. Here's what to strive for, temperature-wise.
- Whole poultry: 180°F
- Poultry breast and well-done meats: 170°F
- Stuffing, ground poultry, reheated leftovers: 165°F
- Medium meats, pork, and ground meats such as beef: 145°F
- Medium-rare beefsteaks, roasts, veal, lamb: 145°F
- Egg dishes: 160°F. Cook egg yolks and whites until both are firm.
- Fish: Cook until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Cool It
With all the outdoor partying going on, it's no surprise that a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cites the summer months as a time when foodborne illness caused by bacteria is at its peak. It doesn't have to be that way. To avoid getting sick from food, never leave it sitting out for more than two hours at room temperature, which is about 70°F. When the mercury climbs higher, food quality deteriorates even faster. That's why you should cool food after just one hour on the table. It's one thing to rely on your refrigerator and freezer for cooling, but you must make sure your refrigerator thermometer registers 40°F or below and that your freezer operates at 0°F or lower. If the units are any warmer than that, bacterial growth can occur. Also, don't pack your refrigerator or freezer with too much food. Cold air needs room to circulate in order to effectively squelch germ reproduction.
Mind the Marinating
When marinating meat, seafood, or poultry, use a covered plastic container and place it in the refrigerator. Marinade ingredients are acidic and cause a chemical reaction with some metallic containers that results in the metal leaching into your food. Never reuse marinade on raw animal foods such as meat, poultry, and seafood unless it's been boiled first to destroy any germs.
Defrosting Dilemma
It's so convenient to take out a package of poultry or beef and leave it to thaw on the kitchen countertop. But it is fraught with risk. As the food warms up at room temperature, germs begin to multiply. And although you cook it thoroughly, you may not be able to kill enough of the microorganisms to prevent foodborne illness. Here's what to do instead. Thaw food in the refrigerator; wrapped in plastic, sitting in cold water in a pan (change water frequently and refrigerate as soon as food is thawed); or in the microwave oven. Always marinate foods in the refrigerator, too.

From The Pros: Eye Makeup Tips For Brown Eyes
Try these expert eye makeup tips to make those brown eyes stand out in the best way possible
Many people prefer brow powder as opposed to brow liner because it is softer and does not look as harsh, guaranteeing a subtle and well-blended look that is natural. Powders are also easier to correct if you make a mistake or over apply. You can also apply a brow liner prior to the powder, but make sure to choose a color that is one to two shades lighter than your current brow color. If you use a color that is the exact same shade as your hair color, it will darken once it makes contact with your skin, which will then make your brows look too dark and unnatural. If you experience difficulties trying to find an exact match, you may want to consider blending a lighter shade with a darker one in order to create the ultimate customized brow color.

Those interested in representing the 1st District in the West Virginia Senate have until 5 p.m. today to submit their resumes.
Resumes are being collected by 1st District Senate Replacement Committee member Teresa Toriseva, and there are three ways to send them:
Drop off or mail resumes to Toriseva Law Offices, 1446 National Road, Wheeling, WV 26003.
Email resumes to TCT@Toriseva Law.com.
Fax resumes to Toriseva Law at 304-238-0149.
Committee members are to meet at 1 p.m. Thursday at the Brooke County Library in Wellsburg to consider the resumes. At that time, they will select three candidates to recommend for the seat to Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.
Toriseva reported that as of Tuesday afternoon, she had received four applications from candidates seeking the 1st District Senate seat left vacant following the resignation of Orphy Klempa. The Democrat Klempa was elected Ohio County Commissioner in the Nov. 6 general election.
"We've received a lot of inquiries. ... We can say there is heavy interest in the Senate seat, and that's a good thing," Toriseva said. "The word is getting out, and it shows there is interest and involvement in the community."
Qualified applicants must be registered Democrats living in the 1st District.
The 1st District encompasses Hancock, Brooke, Ohio and a portion of Marshall County - though it did not include Marshall County when Klempa was elected in 2010 to the four-year term that expires in 2014.
West Virginia law also states that no two senators can reside in the same county. The second 1st District senator is Jack Yost, a Democrat living in Brooke County.
Toriseva said applicants from Brooke County can't be considered - nor will the committee recommend candidates from Marshall County.
"We're not looking at the extended district" that includes Marshall County, she acknowledged.
Resumes received thus far have come from both Hancock and Ohio counties, according to Toriseva.
Members of the 1st District Senate Replacement Committee are Toriseva and Ohio County Democrat Party Co-Chairman John Saunders representing Ohio County; Brooke County Democrat Chairman John Martino and his wife, Marge Martino, representing Brooke County; and Lil Douglass and Dino Rossi, representing Hancock County.

I apologize if this is a naive question about greatest prime factors (gpf). I was thinking about the sequence of integers where $\mathrm{gpf}(x) \le p$ where $p$ is any prime.
Clearly, as $x$ increases, the distance $d$ between an integer where $\mathrm{gpf}(x) \le p$ and $\mathrm{gpf}(x+d) \le p$ increases at a seemingly every increasing rate.
For all primes $p$, does there exist an integer $C$ where if $x \ge C$, then there is at most one integer in the sequence $x+1, x+2, \dots, x+p$ has $\mathrm{gpf}(x) \le p$
For example, if $p=2$, $C = 2$ since for any $x \ge 2$, either $x$ or $x+1, \mathrm{gpf}(x) > 2$

SAN ANTONIO (January 3, 2013) – San Antonio Rampage General Manager Mike Santos Announced today that the American Hockey League (AHL) club has received defenseman Brendon Nash on loan from the Hamilton Bulldogs. In conjunction, the Rampage have loaned defenseman Jason DeSantis to the Bulldogs.
Nash, 25, has played in 26 games for the Bulldogs this season, recording one goal and seven assists from the blueline. Nash also owns a plus-5 rating for Hamilton, which is good for second best on the team. The Kamloops, British Columbia native appeared in two NHL games for the Montreal Canadiens during the 2010-11 campaign. He also eclipsed the 30-point plateau that season in Hamilton, tallying five goals and 25 assists in 75 games. The 6-foot-3, 206-pound defenseman missed the 2011-12 season with a shoulder injury.
Nash played four seasons at Cornell University (2006-10) and tallied 67 points (eight goals, 59 assists) in 120 games. Prior to Cornell, Nash manned the blueline for the Salmon Arm Silverbacks of the British Columbia Hockey League, recording 60 points (nine goals, 51 assists) in 112 games.
The Rampage kick off their second straight three-in-three weekend tomorrow (Friday) night at 7:30 p.m. against the Peoria Rivermen on a KZEP Dollar Drink Night. The Silver and Black will then travel to Houston for a tilt against their instate rival at 7:05 p.m. on Saturday before returning to AT&T Center for a rematch against Peoria at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday. The game will also mark an Express-News Sunday Funday. Individual, and season, tickets start at $10 and can be purchased by calling a Rampage representative at 210.444.5554 or online at sarampage.com.

Some GUI apps launch cleanly via the Terminal command line.
Some don't, and they cause the Terminal to wait for the app to terminate.
...and even then, some don't "release" the command line.
The mysterious ampersand "&" suffix, seems to cause the terminal to put the process into the background... (but I'm not sure what happens there).
Is there a way to launch an app via the Terminal, so that there is no "hang on" effect? ... just like launching something via F2.
I'd like to have the command line available again, immediately (without something still in the background and writing out system message in the terminal).

In 2010, Christina Martini and Nikolas Minoglou founded Ancient Greek Sandals, an Athens-based shoe line rooted in the duo's love of Greek history and culture. Each sandal is handcrafted by local artisans using supple vegetable-tanned leather and finished with Hellenic details like the brand's signature "golden wing" buckle. Featuring multi-strap, gladiator-inspired, and wraparound options, these sandals are celebrated by the collection's loyal followers for their chic, comfortable fit.

I want to know how to install Microsoft Office (specifically, Microsoft Office 2010) in Ubuntu?
I am a die hard fan of MS Office and I want to know if there is a way I can use it in Ubuntu.
I want to know how to install Microsoft Office (specifically, Microsoft Office 2010) in Ubuntu?
I am a die hard fan of MS Office and I want to know if there is a way I can use it in Ubuntu.
Try PlayOnLinux.
Note that the first few images are from myself, and the rest are from here since I don't have a MS Office 2010 CD.
The following tutorial also works in Ubuntu 12.10.
Download PlayOnLinux using the commands:
Click Install.
Search for the Microsoft Office version you want to install (in our case, it's MS Office 2010).
Click Install.
Click Next.
Choose Other. I'll assume that you have your MS Office 2010 CD.
Insert your CD and type
Although you can install MS Office, I recommend using LibreOffice (which is installed by default). It's a free Office Suite that is compatible with all your office files.
Wine is a Windows application compatibility layer that allows you to run some Windows applications in Linux.
According to Wine AppDB for MS Office 2010, MS Office 2010 (32-bit) is given a Platinum rating, ie; it installs and runs flawlessly on an out-of-the-box Wine installation. Wine Version 1.5.13 or better is required for greater compatibility.
I have had much success getting office 2007 working, but nothing past that. I'd recommend taking a look into learning more about LibreOffice.
You may try using Wine (see Software Center) for Windows applications. Not sure if Office 2010 will work. Although Office 2003 works fine for me.
A fallback option is to run an actual version of Windows under a virtualization system like virtualbox or KVM. Of these, VirtualBox is the easiest to get running and to learn: just install the package
I tried to install Office 2010 on my Ubuntu system. It crashed half way through. However, Office 2007 works without issues on the same settings. I suggest you try out Office 2007 . There is virtually no difference between the two. Mind you, MS Outlook and MS Access dont run on wine at all (atleast for me they fail to launch every time) . Only Word, Powerpoint , Excel and Publisher and Visio will work.
I have managed to install office 2010 using playonlinux 4.0.16 on Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 1 64bit. Find the tutorial here
Its as easy as installing it on Windows. See the screenshot below
install playonlinux, fire up playonlinux and chose "other download software" on the left hand side, and select Office 2010 on the right hand side scroll list. After that it is pretty clear on how to install office 2010. The install process takes a while so be patient.
You can install Playonlinux. PlayOnLinux is a graphical front-end for the Wine software compatibility layer which aims to simplify the installation of Windows-based application.
If you have the CD, you can follow the instructions there. If you don't you can buy the CD here, you should also be able to buy the CD in the computer store nearest you.
These components don't work :
I am currently using Microsoft Office 2010 Professional and it works great, didnt have ANY problems installing or starting it up. Get this, it actually runs faster in linux than it did when i used to have windows on this box... i almost laughted my head right off.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and KDE 9.10.0, 32-bit (i386) all around. My Wine version is 1.5 I use the kubuntu backports for kde and the backports for wine as well just to keep updated.
Here is one guide
Or you can use crossover
Install Guide for Ubuntu 14.04 x64
Until recently, it was difficult of impossible to get all of Office 2010 running on Ubuntu. I don't know about ALL, but I worked this out for myself and I have created the guide I wanted, but could not find.
I followed and updated steps from this guide http://www.unixwerk.eu/linux/slack/wine.html
I have 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04, so Wine is 64 bit... which I don't understand, since XP is not 64 bit.... At any rate, I needed 32 bit Wine.
You also need a 32-bit Office 2010 ISO file.
STEP 2) Create a wine prefix
Note that I didn't want wine32 to be hidden (.wine32) ==> personal preference
STEP 3) Install fonts
STEP 4) Install Dependencies for office 2010 (32 bit)
download and run script: http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-addons.sh Make executable: you need to right click-> properties-> Permissions --> Allow to execute (CHECK yes)
-> Libraries -> add msi(native, builtin) -> select msi(native, builtin) -> Edit -> change to (builtin, native)
STEP 6) Right Click the ISO in file explorer --> Open With Disk Image Mounter
STEP 7) Run setup
(Note your ISO CD might not be named "Office2010 Plus", change as needed.)
STEP 8) WINEPREFIX=~/wine32 winecfg -> Libraries -> add riched20
Now, under Libraries, you should have:
STEP 9) Create shortcuts 9A) use favorite text editor and create "WORD.desktop" on Desktop
9B) use favorite text editor to create "word.sh"
STEP 11) Copy these two files and make Excel, PowerPnt, OneNote, etc. as you desire.
STEP 12) Do not add anything to this WINEPREFIX=~/wine32. Use a new WINEPREFIX for other programs. You can break it, apparently.
RESULTS Eveything I normally use works:
I use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote on Linux. Picture Manager seems to work, but shortcuts don't work, so you can't really open a picture.
Not tested, cuz I don't know what/how/details: (I don't normally use these so I can't say it works)
TIP on DUALBOOTING Windows 8
You cannot access files on your Windows Partition if:
For this reason, I moved my Documents folder to a separate partition so I could leave Fastboot on and Hibernate windows 8 if I want.
I got Xubuntu 14.04 and installed it via Wine first which failed miserably cause it was requiring MSXML 5.0...
When I installed it via PlayOnLinux, amazingly it worked perfectly, it even installed the missing MSXML 5.0 but gave me an error on Outlook.exe, so it only installed Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, the rest of them failed.
So, my advice is to install it via PlayOnLinux and not waste energy configuring Wine.

Vivian is what you call a 'Shadow Siren' and she is one of three that are in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. I know she looks friendly now, but she is actually a mini boss along with her sisters. Anyways, this is going to be a really fun and easy tut to tackle so I'm pretty confident that you will have a blast. I shall return later with more drawing fun so stay tuned in.

This is just me looking at really silly basic things but
But yeah, it seems there won't be any real way to continue Pure Pwnage in any form with their relationship at this state.
I heard on AtheneLives stream that Jarett was in talks with him doing something together so we might have a rebirth of Jeremy on his show possibly.
Its sad to see old friends like this but hey that's how it goes.
The only thing I can ask for now is that clip Joel and Jarett did and we give this show an official farewell rather than the faded hope.
I did leave out a few things that I just remembered, Jarett was also recently chilling with ultra famous YouTuber freddiew, so maybe they did something together. Concidering Joel recently worked with pwnisher on Cardboard Warfare 2, it would be sweet if they did something with Pure Pwnage characters there or completely original.
Sorry for all this but I might have made a mistake but yeah Geoff does follow Jarett on twitter, Jarett probably has forgotten to follow Geoff or something.. but still, theres something not right with ROFLMAO not making Space Plumbers but hey it will be enjoyable none the less, wish the best of luck to all the Pure Pwnage crew.

So I have heard:
- 仕方がない
- しょうがない
- 仕方あるまい
And the translation I've seen for all 3 is: "It can't be helped." Is there a particular difference among the 3?
Edit: Secondary question. Why isn't 仕方あるまい, 仕方があるまい?
So I have heard:
And the translation I've seen for all 3 is: "It can't be helped." Is there a particular difference among the 3?
Edit: Secondary question. Why isn't 仕方あるまい, 仕方があるまい?
仕方: し is the conjunctive form of する (to do) and 仕 is 当て字。方 means way or method.
Breaking 仕様 down:
Thus we get these idiomatic meanings:
So the answer to your question for these two is in the difference in the idiomatic meanings derived from these expressions. Judging by my literal translations of the definitions, they overlap quite a bit, so much that it might be considered futile to try and separate them. It requires a thorough understanding of each of the idiomatic expressions used to define 仕方がない and 仕様がない to really see and feel the difference. However, it is my opinion that in practice one would be hard pressed to identify the nuances of these expressions in the usages of 仕方がない and 仕様がない。
As for 仕方あるまい, technically it is 仕方があるまい, just like 仕方ない is 仕方がない. It is simply an abbreviation of the particle. So the difference from the others boils down to ない and あるまい which is the difference between declaring "there is none" and stating with less certainty "there is most likely/probably none" (simplified translation, I don't think there is a precise way to render だろう・まい in English)
This information was compiled from the 広辞苑(こうじえん)、日本国語大辞典(にっぽんこくごだいじてん)、and 大辞林(だいじりん) dictionaries.
仕方がない should be fairly evident meaning-wise. しょうがない is a variation of 仕様がない, and 仕様 effectively has the same meaning as 仕方, so they are virtually identical in meaning, however しょうがない is more used in spoken language while 仕方がない can be used formally.
仕方あるまい is the same as well, except it uses the あるまい construction, which is essentially a more formalized way of saying it. It could also mean ないだろう, but basically you're looking at three phrases that mean the same thing.

Rated 4 out of 5 by terrie from Very Comfortable Wedge Living in downtown Chicago, I do a lot of walking. I've been looking for a comfortable, yet stylish open-toed black wedge that would also give me some height. This looks good on my feet, makes my legs look nicely toned and most of all, are very comfortable. I see myself wearing these a lot of late spring/summer/early fall evenings when we walk to dinner. Very true to size.

I love the toe box pad; the ball of my right foot is extremely sensitive, and I don't have problems wearing this shoe. Usually shoes that have this type of comfort look too wide, like orthopedic shoes. I highly recommend this style for anyone looking for comfort, a higher heel, and great style.

Obamacare is a socialist program
Obamacare is a socialist law because it gives control over the entire health-care system to the federal government. It now controls an additional 17 percent of the economy. It also controls your health care and your family's health care — not only health insurance, but health care. There is also an Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), essentially a health-care rationing body.
This law has nothing to do with better health care or insurance. It is all about power and control. That is why this awful law must be fully repealed.

National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Colorectal cancer develops slowly over a long period of time, usually starting out as a small polyp on the inner colon wall. By removing these polyps, it is usually possible to prevent colorectal cancer. Early detection of these colorectal polyps is the key to protection against this disease.
There are simple steps anyone can take to greatly reduce their risk of this preventable, yet deadly, cancer.
Both men and women are at equal risk for colorectal cancer.
The older you are, the higher your risk; nevertheless, 13,000 cases will still be diagnosed in people under 50.
0 African Americans have higher colorectal cancer rates than men and women of other racial and ethnic groups.
Other unhealthy habits like smoking or being overweight increase your risk for colorectal cancer.
A big risk factor is having a family history or personal history of the following:
Blood Stool Test
A Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) is a simple at-home test that can be taken in the privacy of your own home. One type of test checks for blood in the stool in a toilet bowl. The other type of test requires a smear sample of your stool (feces) to be sent to a lab to look for hidden blood - a sign of possible colorectal cancer. (Annually)
A physician inserts a lighted tube into the rectum and looks for evidence of cancer or the presence of polyps in the lower third of the colon. (Every 5 years)
The best test. A physician inserts a longer, flexible lighted tube into the rectum and examines the full length of the colon. If polyps are detected, they can be removed for further examination. A colonoscopy can replace an FOBT and sigmoidoscopy if done every 10 years.

King Abdullah chairs Cabinet session (7/30/12)
July 30, 2012
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz chaired the Cabinet session at Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah today. The Cabinet began by reviewing a number of reports on regional, Arab and international developments, including the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories and the continuing carnage in Syria.
The ministers condemned Israel's orchestrated campaign to change the geographic and demographic realities of Al-Quds [Jerusalem], its ongoing violations of international law, its blockade against the Palestinian people, and its general rejection of the will of the international community. They stressed the importance of uniting international efforts to provide the Palestinian people with protection and to end Israel's abuses against them.
The Cabinet also warned of the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Syria in light of the continued violence, killings, and displacements. It demanded that the international community shoulder its responsibilities and put an end to the atrocities committed by the Assad regime against the Syrian people. In this respect, it praised the generous response shown over the past week by the Saudi people, who have donated millions of dollars and tons of relief supplies to the Saudi National Campaign for the Support of the Brothers in Syria.
Finally, the Cabinet was briefed by Interior Minister Prince Ahmad bin Abdulaziz on the results of the 19th Annual Meeting of Regional Governors.
Addressing its remaining agenda items, the Cabinet approved the controls for establishing companies owned by the municipalities; approved the continuation of paragraphs 2 and 1 of the Cabinet's decision No. (7) dated 1/1/1422 regarding the allowance of importing Palestinian goods and products as well as the continuation of the State's bearing of their customs duties for one year as of 11/09/1433 H.; approved two memoranda of understanding on cooperation in the exchange of information relevant to money laundering and terror financing between the Saudi Financial Investigation Unit (SAFIU) of the Ministry of Interior and the United States Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the United Kingdom Financial Investigation Unit (UKFIU), both of which were signed on 12/07/2011; approved, in principle, the allocation of SR 1.4 billion in financial support for the implementation of the basic requirements at the circumference of the Al-Aqeer Project Site; approved the organization of the Radio and Television Commission as per the attachments to the decision; and approved the organization of the Saudi Press Agency as attached to the decision.

The waning days of summer have begun, and many readers are probably anticipating the start of fall.
It's also that time of the year when we make our plea for our communities' "stars" - special people all around us who shine for making a positive difference in the cities and towns they live in simply by caring for those around them.
We're looking for nominees from Jefferson, Harrison, Hancock, Brooke and Washington counties for our upcoming Community Stars recognition banquet to be held Oct. 22 at St. Florian Hall in Wintersville.
Ten people will be chosen to be honored, but only if readers send us nominations for a committee to consider.
Nomination forms are being published in the newspaper, so be sure to fill one out and mail it in or drop it off by the deadline, which is Sept. 4.
Keep in mind the "stars" could be as close as your next door neighbor, a co-worker or an acquaintance through a local organization. They may be a local coach, a fellow church member or even a quiet resident living down the street who plows neighborhood driveways in the winter. And don't forget the younger generation - a teen or young adult who is very deserving of being honored for their quiet kindness.
These area community stars are always willing to lend a hand and step up and get their hands dirty when there's work to be done. These "stars" are, in fact, all around us, and it's exactly what makes the Tri-State Area such a terrific place in which to live. So please, nominate someone today.
The 10 individuals will be featured with a story and photo in a special souvenir booklet and be honored at the banquet with an award.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- The arraignment for one-time Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer has been moved to Thursday.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Wier issued an order Wednesday bumping up the date of Farmer's first court appearance from April 30. Wier cited a scheduling conflict by Farmer's attorney, J. Guthrie True, as the reason. The arraignment is set for 4 p.m. EDT in Lexington.
Farmer is charged in a federal indictment with four counts of misappropriating government property and money and one count of soliciting property in exchange for a government grant during his 8-year tenure as head of the state Department of Agriculture.
Farmer was a shooting guard for the University of Kentucky's Wildcats basketball team from 1988 to 1992, a team known as "The Unforgettables."

Most USB keys work on my system: plug one in and
udev will create a device file for the key as a whole (e.g.
/dev/uba), as well as a device file for the partition (e.g.
I have a specific USB key (a Sandisk Cruzer Micro 2Gb) which
udev misbehaves with. The device file for the key is created, but not for the partition.
If I compare the
dmesg output between a working key and my problem key, it is identical except for one line which is missing when using the problem key:
uba: uba1. It would appear from this that
mknod is never creating a node for the disk partition.
The weird thing is that I can do...
sudo sfdisk -R /dev/uba
...to force drive partitions to be re-examined and suddenly the partition will be recognised,
mknod will create a device file it and I can access the key all fine and dandy like. Some kind of timing issue?
Automount USB Rules:
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="ub[a-z]*[1-9]*", PROGRAM="/sbin/blkid -o values -s TYPE %N", RESULT=="vfat", RUN+="/home/ubuntu/.mount_usb %k %n"
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="ub[a-z]*", RUN+="/home/ubuntu/.unmount_usb"
The problem key defaults to FAT16 when being reformatted. Forcing it to FAT32 results in
udevadm monitor --property spitting out exactly the same properties for the device and partition as for a working key, but the problem still remains. This leads me to think that it's less likely to be a problem with the device detection rules and perhaps a problem with the device itself? Is this a logical conclusion?

How would you compare these editors? What are the pros and cons of each?
[note] This is not meant to be answered by those who "hate one and love another" or those who haven't used both.
I use both, although if I had to choose one, I know which one I would pick. Still, I'll try to make an objective comparison on a few issues.
I'll post what I think are the main benefits of each:
Emacs has considerably more extensions to let you do tasks that are only vaguely text-editor related, like browsing the filesystem or messing with version control, and extensions that are in no way text-editor related, like reading RSS feeds. If you want an environment instead of just a text editor, Emacs is going to be better than Vim. I also think Emacs is much easier to learn, despite what some would have you believe:
In particular, I think a novice Emacs user will be faster than a novice Vim user
On the other hand, Vim is undeniably faster. It seems like this is a core part of the argument, but in my opinion there's no contest at all; I consider myself a fluent Emacs user, and I'm no match for the couple people I know that have an equal knowledge of Vim. The problem is, the number of people that have sufficient mastery of Vim to be that fast is incredibly small (of the ~30 people I talk to regularly who use Vim, I think only one is exceptionally good at it). There's a large gap between the possible speed gain and the actual speed gain you achieve; Emacs users are going to be almost as fast as 99% of Vim users, and (as I said in the Emacs section) beginning Emacs users will probably be faster than beginning Vim users
There is a
I'm not saying don't use Emacs or this is the only reason to use Vim, but when you want to be able to use Unix systems that aren't yours...
I think they're both awesome. I think either one can do just about anything you can imagine, and they're both so customizable, that by the time you finish customizing them, they're both just exactly what you want them to be, nothing more nor less.
Emacs stands out to me in being a bit closer (although still does not meet) to ISO/IEC standards of usability and consistency for user interfaces, and hence doesn't play as many tricks with your "instincts" about that vim does. The lifetime of instincts you've developed working with other programs won't work against you.
Vim is a completely different model, and in many ways, it is superior on its own in so far as relies far less on Cntrl/Alt sequences, and instead just on its modes, allowing you to keep your hards on the home row and typing faster. But vim is virtually unique, and unless you install some very unusual accompanying software (e.g., Vimperator, Jumanji/Zathura, etc.), the instincts you develop working with vim won't cross over to other programs and vice-versa. That said, I've settled on vim myself. You've got to settle on one sooner or later, for better or worse, since it's difficult to master both.
I use both on a regular basis. I view Emacs as a "live in" editor, whereas I use Vim for quick, one-off tasks. Superficially, Emacs is much more bloated than Vim is, and so it really isn't quite so convenient to "Fire up" as Vim, but I also find that the philosophies of user interface from one to the other support this paradigm. Emacs is much more built to keep you inside, making things nice and comfortable so you don't have to leave, whereas vim is much more "Unixy" and sees itself as part of a greater tool-belt.
Many people flee from Emacs due to its heavy reliance on bucky bits, but this is a pretty silly reason to me. The real power that Emacs has over Vim is customizability, and with the power of Viper etc, this really isn't an issue. Certainly Vim-Script provides its own level of customization, and if, say, your favorite programming language wasn't provided with an appropriate syntax highlighter you could certainly cook one up, but Emacs is ultimately a self-hosting lisp-machine, and in the end you can do much, much more fiddling with it. There just aren't such tools as gnus or org-mode in Vim, to name a few. In a nutshell, Emacs isn't just an editor, it's practically a god damned operating system.
For manipulating text, I'd say they're exactly on par.
I normally use vim, but they're both great editors.
Learning to use vi was nasty, but I got through it and learned to like it. My most frustrating moments were when the caps lock key was on. You could try with gVim, but one of the biggest advantages with vi and emacs is the ability to do neat stuff while keeping your hands on the keyboard, and gVim is likely to keep you using the mouse. (Learning to play roguelike games at the same time gave me practice with the cursor movement keys, but caused me to try to move diagonally in documents sometimes.)
Emacs is probably more approachable. It's modeless, and you aren't going to screw yourself up by hitting the caps lock key. The idea of controlling the editor through typing letters with the control key down shouldn't be too foreign to modern power users, although the actual keys to do things will seem wild and arbitrary to the typical Windows/Mac OSX user. Again, versions that allow you to use the mouse do you few favors in the long run.
Both require some level of expertise to use effectively. Unlike, say, Notepad, you can't just sit down and edit.
Both are configurable, although for my money writing extensions in the same Lisp the editor is written in makes a smoother experience. (Emacs, as normally distributed, isn't really an editor. It's a Lisp environment tailored for text processing, with a lot of pre-written software, including an editor. Hence the joke "Emacs makes a decent shell, but it could use a better editor.")
I normally use vim because, after extensive training, it feels easier. This may be due to advantages in the mode system, where immense numbers of commands are available using one finger near the home rows, or "baby duck syndrome", which applies very much to editors: once you learn a good one, you generally stick to it.
You won't go wrong using either.
I'll put my $0.02 worth in, as I spent quite a few years using emacs and XEmacs and then moved over to vim. To be fair, I had actually used vi quite a bit around 1990-1992 so I was familiar with its user interface.
One unique thing I did with xemacs once was to have it running on a machine and open an x session on an xterminal (actually an old repurposed Sun 3/60) in a different room against the same buffer on the same running instance.
Pros: Extensible, more powerful than any other editor known to man, mature integration with pretty much every major free software programming tool.
Cons: Questionable ergonomics, elisp is not easy to learn.
Disclamer - I went from using emacs to vim about 10 years ago and I habitually use vim on Windows and Unix/Linux based systems.
Pros: Good keyboard macro facility, passably good extensibility and scripting, but not as good as emacs. Vim or vi-derived editors are standard on most if not all unix or general purpose linux distros. Arguably better ergonomics.
Cons: Modal user interface feels strange to people used to Windows UIs. Less of an issue with vim these days.
The main reason I don't use vi/vim is that it's modal. The main reason I do use vi is that it's available almost everywhere.
Since it hasn't been explicitly stated, I'll add that there is no better programming environment (lisp in a box, slime, etc.) than a slightly modified Emacs distro. All of my programming needs (99%) are taken care of from within Vim, but for all those lisp libraries and routines I write, I have to fire up Emacs to get anything productive done.
I happen to think that the "vim is modal" comment above is incorrect. Vim has commands. You can do "11aNow is the time for all good men.." and end up with 11 identical new lines of text in your file. That's a command, not a mode. But there's actually a very basic difference in Vim commands vs Emacs commands. I'm not entirely sure I can describe it, but Eric Fischer incorporated Emacs-style line editing in a TTY driver 10+ years ago, and got a paper published about it:
He found that Emacs style line editing was fundamentally different than vi-style.
So Emacs has an advantage that a lot of other things (bash, gnuplot, zsh, ksh some others I can't think of off the top of my head) all end up implementing Emacs-style line editing.
I should note that I personally use Vim all the time. I'm only a very occasional Emacs user.
I use Vim/gVim.
I used to use Emacs, but I found gVim to generally work faster on slower machines, plus, due to its POSIX requirement, vi is available almost everywhere.
When using Vim or gVim, I use the mouse a lot, support for it is great, I think.
I started out using Emacs, because it was easier to use for a novice user. I found usage of nano to be quite error prone for some reason, and at some point I realized I'm much more comfortable with using vi.
Right now, it's a mixture. I use Eclipse and gedit quite often, too. Vim, however, is still my favorite and most used editor.
I use both gVim and Emacs well enough to be productive, though I am expert in neither. One thing I can say with certainty is that Vim and gVim run faster on my Windows 7 laptop (which I have to use at work). Emacs, on the Windows box, has an odd habit of "pausing" for up to minute and becoming unresponsive, even while continuing to accept keyboard input, before spitting out everything accumulated in the keyboard buffer in a rush. This does not happen in Mac OS or Linux. Nonetheless I find myself using Vim or gVim most of the time on all platforms just so I don't have to stop and think about which editor I am using and adjust. That said, in a purely *nix environment, I would probably stay with Emacs because I find modeless editing slightly more natural.
Bottom line: in my opinion both editors are powerful enough to handle any and all text editing needs. The choice should be based on practical considerations (like platform implementation specifics), and working style.
Main difference between Emacs and Vim is ergonomic. There is carpal tunnel syndrome, CTS, as you know. Emacs is very "danger" if you have CTS and provocates CTS. Vim - not, you can read about this difference in many places. For ex., in Vim you can edit text only with one finger. In Emacs - you can not :)

Also I don't use syntax coloring, gray over black to me is the most beautiful.

In the question here: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4467/a1-2-is-either-an-integer-or-an-irrational-number
There was an answer by Douglas S Stones:
" If $\sqrt{a}=x/y$ where $y$ does not divide $x$, then $a=(\sqrt{a})^2=x^2/y^2$ is not an integer (since $y^2$ does not divide $x^2$), giving a contradiction. "
Two people whose opinions I respect claimed that this proof approach was "totally bogus/circular".
I don't really see how this is circular, or bogus for that matter.
Doesn't the result follow immediately from unique factorization?
So my question is: What is wrong with that answer?

If we repeat a same experiment in a laboratory independently 6 times. Evey time the probability that the experiment succeeds is 0.7.
a)What is the probability that it succeeds exactly 5 times?
b) What is the probability that it succeeds exactly twice?
Anytime that you have situation involving a sequence of $n$ independent trials that result in either success or failure, and you want to know the probability of exactly $k$ successes, you have what is called a binomial distribution. The probability of exactly $k$ successes out of $n$ trials with probability $p$ of success is given by
$$ \begin{pmatrix} n\\k \end{pmatrix}p^k\left(1-p\right)^{n-k}. $$
Where $(~^n_k)$, read as "n choose k," is the number of ways that you can choose $k$ elements from a set of $n$ elements and equals $$\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}.$$ In your case, $n=6$, $p=0.7$, and for part (a) $k=5$ and for part (b) $k=2$.
The logic for this construction is as follows. I will describe the process for part (a), and the logic will be the same for part (b). We can calculate the probability $P(SSSSSF)=(0.7)^5 0.3$ using the multiplication rule for independent events, which is the probability of getting first five successes and then one failure, but this is not the only way get five successes. We could also get the series $(SSSFSS)$, so we need to add up the probability for all of these different possibilities that have the same probability.
The number of such events called $(~^6_5)$ which is the number of ways to choose five sucesses out of six trials. If you need help with knowing why this is true, you can ask in a comment and I will add it to my answer, or better yet search SE for an answer. We can therefore multiply $(0.7)^50.3$ and $(~^6_5)$ to get the answer.
We want the probability of exactly $5$ successes, and therefore $1$ failure, in $6$ trials.
The $5$ successes and $1$ failure could happen in several orders. They are $SSSSSF$, $SSSSFS$, $SSSFSS$, $SSFSSS$, $SFSSSS$, and $FSSSSS$,
Calculate the probability of each and add them up. For example, the probability of the pattern $SSSSSF$ is $(0.7)(0.7)(0.7)(0.7)(0.7)(0.3)$.
For (b), you will probably want to count the number of patterns more efficiently than by listing.
André has answered your question, but for the record: with independent events, an and translates to multiplication, an or translates to addition.
ex.: in a coin-toss scenario, the probability of getting 2 heads in 2 tosses (heads and heads) is $1/2\times 1/2=1/4$. The probability of getting either heads or tails (in one toss) is $1/2+1/2=1$, which makes perfect sense.
By applying this to your exercise, you should be able to figure out the answers. (don't forget to include the failure probabilities as well as the success probabilities)

"I'm thinking especially of the week when I first met her," Bauer writes, "and she showed me how to taste and savor life in ways I'd only started to sense I was hungry for; and also of the time, two decades later, when her life, as I saw it, was a vivid example of how to receive the meaner sustenance of age."

I've been flipping through Ultimate Combat, and I'm really interesting in the addition of early and advanced firearms. I've been interested in building a musketeer at a higher level than first, but I've been trying to figure out how one would start with an advanced firearm like a revolver or rifle (rather than a musket or pistol).
A musketeer is given a gun from his order, but also has the
Gunsmithing feat, so I'm a bit confused:
- Would the Musketeer just asked for an advanced firearm?
- That doesn't seem to make a lot of sense given how much an advanced firearm costs. I'm not even sure how starting with a gun is fair considering a musket ordinarily costs 1500gp.
- Would the Musketeer just craft an advanced firearm, and ignore the one given by his order?
- That also doesn't seem to make sense, as the point is that his gun is a sort of focus.
How would a musketeer obtain advanced firearms in this situation?

I'm running 6 NXT robots in an introductory class. Occasionally we've had bricks that would not accept a program and I've reset the brick by pushing the reset button under the battery pack as well as pushing the button under the USB port, experiencing the blank screen and "click..." Re installing the firmware usually gets them going again. I have one brick that when cleared and reset will accept a download, but when the program is run, port B drives the motor at full speed, and nothing else happens. I have reset the brick many times, and the problem still exists. I sent a query to LEGO and got a computer generated response that there would be contact in 1-2 days.... nothing after a week, Sent the same query again and got tho same auto response.... still no real contact (after 4 days) I'm looking for suggestions. Thanks!
I think the solution suggested at http://www.thenxtstep.com/2006/06/clicking-brick-syndrome.html will help you.
Since you tried reuploading the firwmare without success, it sounds like the brick is indeed defective. You were right to contact the customer service in that case as they should be able to replace it; however it's not normal that they didn't contact you back. You may want to call them directly (you can find the number on the service web page) and let them know that your online queries went unanswered.
Alternatively, if you got Education kits (which seems likely since it's for a class), you may want to contact your reseller first and let them know aoub the issue.
The only other possible thing I could imagine going wrong is that the firmware file is corrupted somehow - this would be consistent with the brick accepting it for download, but then failing to run properly. If you have another brick, you may want to try to send the same firmware to it and see if the problem happens too. Then of course you'd need to make sure you download the latest firmware and try that one - I woudl say it's worth a shot anyway (you could also redownload and compare with your existing file if you want to check it's corrupted or not).
I managed to recover a 'clicking' NXT brick using a PC with windows XP and Lego Mindstorm NXT v2.0 just by clicking on Update NXT Firmware .

I know this is not proper form, but I figure it would be too interesting to folks here to pass up. Helen Skelton is planning an attempt to cycle to the South Pole on a slightly odd looking all-terrain bike.
It rides on what are basically golf cart tires, has a suspension fork, 21-speed derailleur gearing, and rear disk brakes.
I'm personally a hair skeptical of the tubeless tires and the rear derailer that seems to clear the "ground" by only a few inches. But the folks doing this have a lot of experience.
Is what they're planning even possible? What will be their biggest problems?

WHEELING - It wasn't about being in the right position for Wheeling Central on Friday night. The Maroon Knights flew to the football.
But for Shadyside, 2 or 3 yards wasn't good enough. The Tigers wanted, and got more - much more.
Austin Dorris led three backs with 100-plus yards and Shadyside's defense limited Wheeling Central to a total of 154 in a 34-7 demolition by the Tigers (7-0) at Wheeling Island Stadium.
Article Photos
SHADYSIDE SENIOR Chris Littell runs for a big gain during Friday's game at Wheeling Island Stadium against Wheeling Central. Littell and the Tigers scored 34 unanswered for a 34-7 victory.
It all came down to Shadyside's domination at the point of attack on both sides of the football. An experienced offensive line paved the way for Dorris to go for 190 and a pair of scores. It opened holes for Chris Littell to pick up 129 on 13 carries. And, oh, by the way, it helped Eric Howell gain an even 100 and two touchdowns on 21 tries.
All told, the Tigers averaged 8.3 a carry on 57 attempts for a total of 424 yards. For good measure, Howell also added a pair of 2-point conversion runs as Shadyside, the No. 1 team in Ohio Division VII, Region 25, spotted Central a 7-0 lead but scored the game's final 34.
''What we were able to achieve in the Bellaire game, because of their offense, we needed to control the clock,'' Tigers coach Mark Holenka said. ''Then we realized we were able to play this type of game.
''The offensive line is the best defense we've had because the offense controls the ball. Those guys, I don't know how they do it.''
For good measure, Dorris completed 2 of 3 passes including a 50-yard touchdown on a third-and-10 play early in the third quarter. The Maroon Knights never were able to get the Tigers off the field when they had the chance, allowing six third-down conversions on eight tries.
''We played hard, but they are very good,'' Central coach Mike Young said. ''They ran through our tackles and credit to them for that, and a credit for their strength.
''I said before that they're big, strong, aggressive and a very good football team. They showed that.''
Adding injury to insult, Maroon Knights standout Parker Henry went down fighting for extra yardage on a pass reception near the end of the first half. Henry, who missed all of last season with an ACL injury, suffered some sort of damage to the other knee and the worst is feared.
''It's definitely too early to tell, but it's not promising,'' Young said. ''But yet you don't know.
''You've got to get an MRI and figure out what it is.''
After Isaac Rine hit Henry with a 16-yard touchdown pass on the game's first drive, Shadyside went to work. Dorris broke off a 47-yarder on the Tigers' first snap and six plays later Howell went in from the 12.
After Central went three-and-out, Shadyside moved 86 yards in 10 plays, culminating in a Dorris 7-yard run. With the 2-point Howell run, Shadyside had the lead for good.
''I've got to tip my hat to my guys because I am very pleased with our performance,'' Holenka said. ''We came out focused and got caught off guard on that first drive, but we were able to be resilient enough to come back and start playing with a little more intensity and tighten the bolts up a little bit.''
Dorris went in from 44 on the next Shadyside possession to end the first half, then went right down the field to start the second half, ending as Dorris found Littell over the middle.
Defensively, the Tigers were staunch, led by the play of nose tackle Zach Meadows, who on two occasions knifed into the backfield and brought down Rine less than a second after the ball was snapped.
''He's impressive coming through that 'A' gap,'' Holenka said. ''If he were 6-foot-3, he'd be big time.
''Somebody's missing the boat just because he's short.''
Shadyside put the finishing touches on things as Howell went in for a 6-yard score at 6:44 of the fourth.
''We're in contention to be in the playoffs and we've won some big ballgames,'' Young said. ''(This) was a big one and we were outmanned.''
