By opening the PSU we can see the model information for the large 12cm fan. This double ball bearing thermally regulated fan is manufactured by ADDA and is a 7 blade, 2200RPM, DC model with 12v/0.37A operation. The model number is AD1212HB-A71GL and the official specifications tell us that it has a rating of 85.2CFM for airflow and 39.1dBA noise level. Worth noting is that PCP&C have gone to the effort of sleeving the fan wire from the area it exists the fan casing down towards the plug on the PCB and it is held in place on the fan chassis by white adhesive.
Inside the Silencer Mk3 we have a very spacious design with minimal heatsinks. Where appropriate components are given extra stability by white adhesive. High quality components are used throughout including Japanese capacitors which we will look at shortly.
The Silencer Mk3 also features various protection functionality. First up is Over-Voltage Protection which ensures that the 12, 5 and 3.3v outputs do not exceed a set level. Over-Current Protection works on the same outputs to ensure DC voltage remains within safe limits. Short-Circuit protection is included too and powers off the PSU should any of the 3.3v, 5v or 12v rails short.
In terms of key features we have a unit which has a single +12v rail rated for 46A. Mixed with this decent specification is an 80 Plus Bronze certification which means it has passed certification of 82% efficiency at 20% and 100% load with 50% load rated at over 85% (120V).
Looking a little closer at the design well known, branded components are found throughout most of the unit such as Japanese capacitors. It is great to see on this mainstream model that each is rated for 105°C rather than 85°C which can often be seen on value orientated products. Commonly used brands such as Rubycon are present and the larger model on the primary side is Nippon branded (560µF-400v).

Livestock, Activity Choices and Conflict: Evidence from Burundi
Standard economic risk theory postulates that in the absence of credit markets, wealthier households will engage in higher-risk, higher profit activities to generate income while poor households will specialize in low-risk activities with low returns. The rationale is that wealthier households can deplete savings when things go wrong whereas poor household cannot. This theoretical argument has been tested for several countries and is generally validated by the data. However, existing studies on the relation between savings and activity choices implicitly assume that savings are certain or risk-free. This study suggests that explicitly allowing household savings or assets to be risky can yield results that differ considerably from the pattern predicted by the standard theoretical model. Using data from the 1998 household priority survey in Burundi, we estimate the relationship between household savings (livestock) and choices of incomegenerating activities (risky vs. less-risky activities). We exploit the fact that surveyed households in certain regions in Burundi were exposed to a relative higher level of risk and uncertainty due to the civil war preceding and during the time of the survey. We find that in general household savings exercise their usual risk-taking effect, though that this effect disappears and even reverses for households in the conflict affected regions. In those regions, wealthier households do not reduce allocation to low-risk low-return activities. We argue that this finding can probably (in part) explain the massive increase in poverty in the provinces exposed to the war during the 1990-1998 period. In this fashion, we argue that a type of 'productive social safety net', as recently discussed in the development literature, could possibly be an effective policy measure to lower the increased asset risk induced by conflict.

Eastman Chemical Company
) reported first-quarter 2012 earnings (from continuing operation)
of $1.13 per share, a decline from $1.39 per share a year ago.
Excluding costs associated with its imminent acquisition of Solutia
and one-time gains, the Tennessee-based chemicals maker earned
$1.22 a share in the quarter, which topped the Zacks Consensus
estimate of $1.14.
Revenues and Margins
Revenues rose 4% year over year to $1,821 million, but missed
the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,881 million. The growth was
aided by increased selling prices.
Geographically, sales from the U.S. and Canada rose 9% to $1,002
million. Revenues from Asia Pacific fell 2% to $388 million. Sales
in Europe, the Middle East and Africa inched down 2.5% to $346
million while Latin American revenues fell 3% to $85 million.
Operating earnings slipped roughly 16% year over year to $264
million. Adjusted operating earnings fell 9% year over year to $273
Segment Highlights
Coatings, Adhesives, Specialty Polymers and Inks
The company said that revenues from this segment rose modestly
in the first quarter to $470 million. Operating earnings declined
to $98 million from $104 million a year ago on account of an
unfavorable product mix.
Sales in this segment climbed 11% to $323 million on the back of
a favorable mix shift and increased selling prices. The favorable
shift in product mix was mainly due to higher acetate tow sales
volume in Asia Pacific. The company raised selling prices to
counter higher raw material and energy costs, especially for wood
pulp. Operating earnings rose to $101 million from $86 million a
year ago, supported by pricing and mix benefits.
Performance Chemicals and Intermediates
Revenues from this business rose 6% to $736 million on higher
domestic sales volumes, particularly in acetyl product lines.
Operating earnings fell to $77 million from $94 million a year ago,
impacted by lower selling prices in Asia Pacific.
Specialty Plastics
Sales declined 5% to $292 million in the quarter on account of a
decline in volume, partially offset by better pricing. Lower sales
volume was attributable to soft demand across the LCD and consumer
and durable goods markets. Operating earnings decreased to $30
million from $35 million in the prior-year quarter due to lower
Eastman Chemical ended the quarter with cash and cash
equivalents of $569 million, down 11% year over year. Total debt
remained stable year over year at roughly $1.6 billion. The company
generated operating cash flows of $19 million during the
Outlook and Recommendation
Eastman Chemical expects the global economy to grow slowly while
volatility in raw material and energy costs would diminish moving
ahead. The company expects earnings for 2012 to be roughly $5.30 a
share. It expects to benefit from the increased capacity additions
as well as the Solutia acquisition, expected to consummate in
Eastman Chemical's diversified chemical portfolio, along with
its integrated and diverse downstream businesses, is driving
earnings. The company benefits from business restructuring and
cost-cutting measures. It has sold unprofitable units and closed
down the poorly performing ones.
We currently have an Outperform recommendation on Eastman
Chemicals. The company, which competes with
The Dow Chemical Company

I purchased my Frigidaire ...
By Viv45
from Prairieville, LA, United States
I purchased my Frigidaire smooth-top range on April 12, 2016, and I'm not completely happy with it. For one thing, I had to have a black smooth top cooking surface on a bisque range. Ugly!!!! I cook a lot, and the black surface is hard to keep clean and free of dislocations Did you even take that into consideration when you designed all those black ranges and cooktops? Do you have any women working for your company who sit on the planning board?I simply cannot imagine a woman designing these ranges. It seems that all manufacturers of appliances want all of us to accept black appliances in one way or another. I didn't want black anywhere on my new range, but I was forced to accept it. I don't believe you or any of the other appliance manufacturers care about what we women want. Another thing I don't like about my cooktop is the one HUGE burner, on which I can use only one of my pans. It's a waste!!! Otherwise, it cooks and bakes well.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Great Range!

Range works well consistently. The smooth cooktop is a great surface and easy to keep clean.
Easy to use and clean!
By Cathie14

I replaced my OLD frigidaire with a NEW one.....something I did caused the problem....so I wanted the same model because I was more than happy with the quick features. I am a working widow and not into fancy gourmet cooking. I want my life to be as simple and easy as possible. This electric oven definitely covers all aspects of my needs!
Good looking appliance.

We love everything about this beautiful stove, except the black top. My dear wife is wiping the top at least 12 times a day. She is not a nut case, but it seems the dust just stays on the surface!

"MY HOMETOWN" Princeton by miner
Princeton Travel Guide: 14 reviews and 31 photos
Gibson County was once a wilderness situated in the Northwest
Territory which, in 1784, was ceded to the United States of America by
Virginia. The State of Indiana was organized April 19, 1816. John
Severns is recognized as the first white settler in Gibson County, arriving
in 1789. He operated a ferry on the south side of the Patoka River. A
Welsh man, Severns answered the call of the colonists in the
Revolutionary War, but on his first trip home to Virginia, Indians
swooped upon the family. Severns' parents, sister, and younger brother
were killed, while he and an older brother were kept as prisoners.
Severns, a short, heavy-set man, was held captive seven years before
he was able to escape. In 1789, he penetrated the wilderness of the
Northwest Territory and he and his family settled on the south bank of
the Patoka River near what is now the town of Patoka. They lived as
cave dwellers for several months until the Indians, remnants of the
Shawnee tribe residing on the north side of the river, allowed the
family to construct a crude hut of boughs, skins and other materials.
Severns was allowed to continue his residence in that region, now
known as Severns' Bridge, and to establish a ferry upon the conditions
that he keep "firewater'' for the Indians and allow them free use of the ferry.
Originally belonging to Knox County, what is now Gibson County came
to be in 1813. The county derives its name from Gen. John Gibson, a
gallant soldier of the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War.
Gibson was born in Pennsylvania in 1740 of Scottish-Irish ancestry, and
he was well educated. In 1763, he was captured by Indians and was
adopted by a squaw whose son had died in battle. With the Indians,
Gibson mastered several languages, along with the customs of several
tribes. He was later released and he returned to business in Pittsburgh.
Gibson was appointed territorial secretary of Indiana in 1800 and held
that office until 1816. While Gen. William Henry Harrison, governor of
Indiana, was engaged in the War of 1812, Gibson was acting governor.
He died in 1822, shortly before his 82nd birthday.
. The name of the county seat was selected by the
drawing of lots among the commissioners, Prince winning. Hence,
Princeton was named.
Long before Princeton was platted and before Gibson County was
formed, pioneer James McClure deeded 30 acres of land to parties
who eventually donated 10 acres which include what is now the public
square. Named for Capt. William Prince, one of four commissioners
whose name was drawn from lots to name the settlement, Princeton's
first house was erected by Capt. Thomas Chapman in 1814. Chapman
established a hotel - The Traveler's Inn - and boarded the hands who
constructed the first courthouse. He sold the hotel in 1815.
A post office was established in Princeton in 1816, while the post office
currently used was built in 1913 for $49,500. By 1818, Princeton
businesses included a blacksmith shop, harness shop, pottery, cabinet
shop, hatter industry, gunpowder mill, distillery and a copper shop.
Princeton was incorporated as a city in 1884.

The use of 3D information in the field of cultural heritage is increasing year by year. From this field comes a large demand for cheaper and more flexible ways of 3D reconstruction. This paper describes a web-based 3D reconstruction service, developed to relieve those needs of the cultural heritage field. This service consists of a pipeline that starts with the user uploading images of an object or scene(s) he wants to reconstruct in 3D. The automatic reconstruction process, running on a server connected to a cluster of computers, computes the camera calibration, as well as dense depth (or range-) maps for the images. This result can be downloaded from an ftp server and visualized with a specific tool running on the user's PC.

Burger King and the Spits
Thanks to Michael Alan Goldberg for passing this one along from the Smoking Gun:
AUGUST 17—Claiming that its image and persona have been hijacked as part of a marketing campaign for Burger King's new chicken fries, the costumed heavy metal band Slipknot is threatening the fast food giant with legal action. In the below August 4 letter, the band's lawyers charge that Coq Roq—a mock metal band featured in new Burger King commercials—was created as a "look-alike, sound alike 'band' in order to influence the Slipknot generation to purchase Chicken Fries." Counsel for the band notes that Coq Roq—whose masked members are supposed to resemble badass chickens—has blatantly copied several of Slipknot's signature masks, including a gas mask, a kabuki-style face covering, and a mask with dreadlocks attached…Burger King wants a U.S. District Court judge in Miami to issue a "declaratory judgment" that the Coq Roq campaign does not infringe on Slipknot's publicity and trademark rights. As for the similar masks, Burger King lawyers—who apparently read the metal mag Revolver—note that many groups "wear masks and/or make-up to accomplish a mask-like effect, including but not limited to the bands KISS, Gwar, Insane Clown Posse, Mushroomhead, Mudvayne, Marilyn Manson, Los Straitjackets, and the Spits."

Bloggers Quick to Disprove Rite Aid Anti-Gay Policy
A sign went up in a West Village pharmacy telling patrons not to act gay while in the store. But the convenience chain says it had nothing to do with it!
If you happen to live near 13th Street in Greenwich Village, there's a decent chance that you use the Rite Aid on Sixth Avenue. There's also a decent chance that you're homosexual. But it seemed earlier this week like those two things didn't necessarily go hand in hand. According to Queerty.com, the above notice was posted four times on the glass in front of the store, advising that same-sex "kissing, hugging, and touching" are not welcome inside. For what it's worth, gay marriage isn't either. The note was signed, "Tom Marquez, Rite Aid Management."
This, of course, set off a mini–flamer storm. A group was started on Facebook to boycott the Rite Aid. Queerty investigated and discovered that it had been done at eleven other stores in Manhattan — but that it wasn't actually the handiwork of manager Tom Marquez or anyone in Rite Aid administration. It was a series of rogue hate smears! And a press representative for the pharmacy chain said she was "appalled" by it and indicated that they were working with police to track down the "culprit."
Thanks for defending the gays and their right to buy Garnier Nutrisse products, Rite Aid! But if you're really hunting down a "culprit," can you get the one who is constantly robbing your stores of all their merchandise? We can only assume that's the reason half of your shelves are empty every time we stop by for some TRESemmé. Oo la la!

Former CSR director Rodger Rice and current director Neil Carlson completed a full report on the 2012 CRC Survey and presented the results (video, starts at 2:45) to the Synod of the Christian Reformed Church on Monday, June 10, 2013.
From the summer of 2012 through January 2013, the Center for Social Research (CSR) conducted the 2012 wave of the Christian Reformed Church of North America survey. As with the previous wave, the survey focused on church health and trends over time within the denomination.
The following resources are now available:
Comment magazine, currently edited by Calvin's James K. A. Smith (don't miss his blog, Fors Clavigera), recently posted an excellent online article by Calvin alum Graham Scharf about the Believe 2 Become and Gatherings of Hope Initiatives. The article is titled "Renewing Social Architecture by Building Bridges" and characterizes B2B as a unique approach in today's Christian philanthropic community.
Three years into these initiatives, CSR continues to provide research and evaluation support services for both Initiatives; for Believe 2 Become, we "ride shotgun" for the Community Research Institute at Grand Valley State University, while the Gatherings of Hope work is led by Calvin Sociology's Mark Mulder.
CSR is offering another year of summer training for our staff and students. As with last year, these training sessions will be open to Calvin faculty, staff, and students, as well as some of our clients.
The schedule is subject to change, but here are the topics we're going to cover: All training sessions will be from 1pm-4:30pm in North Hall 180.

With your other gonzo titles.
Billy and Max go to Brazil in search of big, beautiful butts. While out cruising in their car, they strike it big when they swing by their friend's posh beachside pad. Poolside, there are bikini-clad bodies with big booties lined up on blankets. The guys act a little too macho - high-fiving one another and wearing decidedly unsexy doo rags. I guess that much exotic ass would make any man nervous.
The scene turns into a serious freakfest, and everyone gets down and dirty for some good ole freaky condomless fucking. Guys grab girls, pull their bottoms down and pick 'em up for impromptu penetration. Others stumble into the nearest bedroom - nothing private or discreet about this free-for-all sex fest. There's a lot going on visually, but the general vibe is enthusiastic.

Cast: Patricia (I), Maria (I), Rozella, George (I), Jade (I), Chuck, Waheenie
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Pro-Am
Lovely Maria appears on the box cover and will help move this addition to the popular series.
Coupled intercourse, oral sex and solo sex are presented in this latest volume to the fecund amateur series. Rozella and George are an interracial couple who pull pearls from Roz's shaved pussy before smoking, laughing, and pleasuring one another by hand and with a toy before going at it mish. Pretty Waheenie appears again for a bit of fellatio fun, taking a load in her mouth. Maria is a beautiful Mexican woman with a cascade of thick, black hair. She uses a gold vibrator and huge dildo in the bathroom to make her slim dancer-perfect body cum.
Spunky Jade looks like she could hold her own in a fight and proves she can make her husband happily lose his load with her mouth. Patricia is a treat that rounds out an enjoyable amateur meal. The sweet-faced little sex tramp shows off her ass, plays with herself through her panties, and applies the vibrating magic of a large pink vibrator to her pussy. Her obvious enjoyment makes up for the fact she plays a wee bit more to the camera then feels natural. Another enjoyable amateur offering.

The feast is associated with an event recounted in the apocryphal Infancy Narrative of James where Mary's parents, Joachim and Anne, who had been childless, received a heavenly message that they would bear a child. As a sign of gratitude for the gift of their daughter, they brought her to the Temple in Jerusalem to consecrate her to God. Mary remained in the Temple until puberty, at which point she was assigned to Joseph as guardian.

Love watching Andi Anderson bob for nuts? She can't get enough of that hard wang. No one can gobble a Herculean rod quite like her. Andi Anderson is considered the undisputed trouser snake licking champion of the world. Still, what she like even more is getting her legs pinned behind her head while she's getting fuck.

Down by the River
Veteran singer and songwriter Mac McAnally recently enjoyed an unexpected return to country radio for the first time in more than a decade and a half when he and Kenny Chesney went to No. 1 with a duet version of his oldie "Down the Road." The renewed attention earned Mac a deal with Toby Keith's Show Dog Nashville label, but the steady-rolling Down by the River doesn't make any concessions to modern radio in a bid for airplay. This is Mac being Mac, serving up a batch of unpretentious and instantly likeable originals about big life lessons and small pleasures.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2

Big Mouthfuls 9 is another solid installment in the online empire's growing DVD library. Far superior in quality (and much more convenient) than downloading large mpegs, this retail release features seven South Beach sluts in six long scenes of cum-swallowing sex.
Cherri Rose, picked up on the beach in part one, starts nervously (but soon gets the hang of Preston's great wang), and Destiny St. Claire follows silly phone-sex with its closer physical counterpart. Like the surprising rest (most especially the nasty Kelly Wells), Jersey Jaxin and Jessi Summers refuse to take anal, though Holly lets her POV cameraman poke her pooper during straight vaginal.
Besides the needlessly scant extras (three minutes is all you get), the most glaring drawback is its inherent lateness to market. Online, the newest of these scenes were available to the paying public all the way back in January.
Retailing: Stock it for the Bros. big following.

This WordPress Theme fits my needs perfectly, and with it I was hoping to be unique throughout the entire planet. Now I'm not going to be, and I'm depressed.
This is a great theme, way ahead of most others if you have an interest in your website's display on Mobile Devices down to 320 pixels. It does an excellent job of displaying navigational menus in drop-down format so they don't take up too much space on an Android, iPhone or any other Smartphone with a (320 x 480) display.

If it was up to me I wouldn't let anybody else download or use this Theme because I'm extremely selfish, and wanted to hog it for myself. My loss....your gain.

WaPo: Sneaky Persians Menace Pentagon's Noble Aim to Keep U.S. Troops in Afghanistan Forever
In a front page exposé on January 4, the Washington Post revealed that sneaky Persian agitators are conspiring to thwart the Pentagon's noble aim of keeping 10,000-30,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan on "non-permanent," "non-U.S." bases after "all foreign troops are supposed to be withdrawn" in 2014, just as these sneaky Persians conspired to thwart the Pentagon's noble aim of keeping U.S. troops in Iraq.
The Post story is quite instructive, even if it is not exactly "news" in the common sense of the term. It presents the world from the point of view of diehard Pentagon revanchists who want to keep US troops in Muslim countries forever against the will of the majority of Americans and against the will of the majority of people who live in these countries. It presents this diehard Pentagon revanchist view as if there were no interests in the world besides those of Pentagon revanchists and wily Persian agitators, such as the interests of the majority of people who happen to live in the United States, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Of course, in the world view of the diehard Pentagon revanchist, the concerns of these mere residents are largely irrelevant, if they have no military implications. How many divisions do these mere residents control? These mere residents are just pawns in a game of Pentagon-sneaky Persian chess.
It is a story, moreover, that is spectacularly contradicted by the Post's own previous reporting, as well as that of other major American newspapers.
The story informs us:
Iran's strategy in Afghanistan is reminiscent of its maneuvering in Iraq, where it helped fuel the insurgency and persuaded Iraqi politicians not to yield on allowing the Americans a small military presence beyond 2011.
That gives the game away, doesn't it? Here we have a diehard Pentagon revanchist causation story for why the Obama Administration did not succeed in renegotiating the Bush Administration's agreement to withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of 2011: it was because sneaky Persians persuaded Iraqi politicians not to yield. If it hadn't been for the meddling of those sneaky Persians, those Iraqi politicians would have been like putty in the Pentagon's hands. "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"
That's instructive, isn't it?
There are certainly competing causation stories for why the Obama Administration complied with the Bush agreement, which you would have no idea about from reading this article. There is the John McCain/neocon story, which is that the Obama Administration did not try hard enough to negotiate a new agreement to keep U.S. troops in Iraq, because President Obama didn't have enough enthusiasm for the Pentagon/neocon keep-troops-in-Iraq-forever project. There is the Obama Administration's main causation story, which is that they did try, but the Iraqi parliament would not agree to immunity for U.S. troops from Iraqi prosecution for committing crimes. There is the anti-war activists' causation story, which is that it was to force US troops to be withdrawn that we knocked on doors for Ned Lamont in Connecticut and Barack Obama in Indiana. There is the U.S. public opinion causation story, which is that U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq is what the overwhelming majority of Americans wanted, including the majority of Republicans.
And then there is the causation story that actually appeared in the news pages of the Washington Post and the New York Times at the time that the final withdrawal was announced: Iraqis wouldn't tolerate for U.S. troops to stay, because the Pentagon killed too many Iraqi civilians, and no-one was held responsible.
Liz Sly reported in the Washington Post:
In the accounting of what was won and lost in America's Iraq war, [Haditha] will rank as a place where almost everything was lost.... in dueling [Iraqi and American] perceptions, over the killings in Haditha and others nationwide, lay the undoing of the U.S. military's hopes of maintaining a long-term presence here. When it came to deciding the future of American troops in Iraq, the irreconcilable difference that stood in the way of an agreement was a demand by Iraqi politicians for an end to the grant of immunity that has protected on-duty U.S. soldiers from Iraqi courts.
"The image of the American soldier is as a killer, not a defender. And how can you give a killer immunity?" said Sami al-Askari, a lawmaker who is also a close aide to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Michael Schmidt reported in the New York Times:
Charges were dropped against six of the accused Marines in the Haditha episode, one was acquitted and the last remaining case against one Marine is scheduled to go to trial next year.
That sense of American impunity ultimately poisoned any chance for American forces to remain in Iraq, because the Iraqis would not let them stay without being subject to Iraqi laws and courts, a condition the White House could not accept.
What are we to make, then, of the Pentagon's kvetching that sneaky Persians are trying to obstruct its noble aim to keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan forever, given that keeping U.S. troops in Afghanistan forever is not what the majority of Americans want, and that many people who happen to live in Afghanistan actually have their own legitimate reasons for opposing the Pentagon's plans, such as the Pentagon's hated night raids into Afghans' private homes, without which the Pentagon claims there is no point in having U.S. troops there?
It's been a very heavy lift, working to get U.S. politicians and the Pentagon to bend to the will of the majority of Americans who don't want U.S. troops fighting in these countries forever for the ability to keep U.S. troops in these countries against the will of the people who live there. But here's some consolation for our slow progress in holding our own public institutions accountable to our will: the sneaky Persians have reportedly been doing the bidding of the majority of Americans, even though we never voted for them and give them none of our tax dollars. We can't even send flowers to the sneaky Persians for their yeoman service to U.S. public opinion; that's prohibited under U.S. sanctions. But we can congratulate the sneaky Persians for their apparent success in our shared endeavor: Mazl tov!

Hospital traffic circle reopens as cancer center work continues
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The traffic circle in front of Upstate University Hospital will reopen Monday, Oct. 10, at 6 a.m. The traffic circle was closed this summer ago so crews could install an underground extension of the hospital's steam line to the footprint of what will be the new Upstate Cancer Center. While the traffic circle was closed, patients and visitors used a temporary circle to access the hospital entrance.
The reopening of the traffic circle will enable patients to be dropped off and picked up in front of the hospital's main entrance. "We appreciate everyone's understanding about any inconvenience the main traffic closure has caused," said Paul Seale, the hospital's chief operating officer.
The reopening of the traffic circle will not include the green space designed for the center of the circle, just yet. Hospital planners say that will be installed as the Upstate Cancer Center nears completion.
At the same time the traffic circle reopens, the entrances to the Regional Oncology Center (ROC), the CNY Gamma Knife Center and the employee entrance will close in anticipation of cancer center construction. Access to the ROC and Gamma Knife Center will be through the hospital.
Work crews will begin drilling caissons into the ground to support construction of the cancer center foundation. That work should begin on or about Oct. 14.
"The installation of these caissons continues the early work that is needed prior to the construction of the steel frame of the Upstate Cancer Center," Seale said. "It's an exciting early development."
The Upstate Cancer Center will be a five-story $74-million facility that will bring all of the university's outpatient cancer services—pediatric and adult—under one roof. The new facility will encompass 90,000 square feet on three stories and feature 27 private infusion areas, four-season rooftop healing gardens, meditation room, family resource center, multidisciplinary practice locations, private space for genetic, financial and other counseling services, a boutique for patient apparel and other personal products and three linear accelerator rooms. The facility will include two additional floors to accommodate future expansion.
Seale said the Cancer Center is on schedule to open in Fall 2013.

How much weight did you gain in the last 6-8 weeks of pregnancy with twins? I'm wondering if it's like singletons, where you seem to gain a hefty amount those last few weeks, or if it's that you barely have any room, so you struggle to gain.
Holly and David
Adaline (3/20/10), and Charlie (1/26/12- 4/10/12) and our identical twins Callie and Wendy (01/04/13)

I haven't had a singleton pregnancy, but I slowed down overall in the last month and a half...the babies kept gaining, but the part that was just me was losing weight.
I only gained a couple pounds those last weeks. In fact, I think the babies were gaining faster than I was. My arms and legs were thinner at the end of my pregnancy than before it, and I gained more than 40 pounds total. I birthed at 38 weeks.
Mom to eight!! Our twin girls arrived 3-3-2011.
I'm wondering, because my OB says I should gain about 35 lbs total and I've only gained 20 so far (Ill be 30 weeks on Thursday). Im wondering if Ill pack on 15 at the last minute, or if I just wont gain that much.
I lost almost 20 lbs the day that DS was born, I wonder how much you lose when you birth two babies.

Ugh, I couldn't stop myself from gaining 2 lbs a week after a certain point. I gained a total of 60 (so double my singleton pregnancy) and it really didn't matter what I ate. I could eat vegetables or all sugar at it was still 2 lbs a week. I went to 41 weeks.

at 41.3 weeks, and 06/12 our fraternal DDs A and V were hospital birth at 41.1 weeks.
i was outpaced by the twin in the final weeks it was harsh on my body. i gained 31 pounds total (delivered at 36w0d) and was just below pre-pregnacy weight by the time i first weighed myself at 6 days PP. while i was a tad overweight before, there were parts of me that looked stripped of tone for the first few months PP and i was feeling it.
my advice is make every bite of food count at this stage, high protein, high healthy fats, lots of calcium supplement
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
I gained a lot in the second and first half of the third trimester. I actually lost a few pounds in the last few weeks. But I did gain 50lbs and delivered at 37wks2d. It was hard to eat enough food at the end. I felt sick to my stomach most of the time and it felt like the food didn't fit in my stomach anymore.

I gained a total of 64 pounds - I delivered 8-lb babies (that's 8 lb each) at 39 weeks.
I averaged 2 -3 lb/week, and gained 15 pounds in the last 5.5 weeks. Neither of my doctors (an OB and my beloved family doctor - I alternated visits between the two) was concerned about my weight gain.
And I'm only 5'4" - I had NO room, but I still managed to gain (and so did they).

Novice at building websites but love to tinker around. Have purchased many themes but this one far surpasses ANY OTHER. Definitely the easiest, and PREMIUM QUALITY, with the best drag and drop building widgets. My personal website looks dynamite now. Worth a well-deserved donation. Thank you.
I am discovering WordPress. I started last week with the default themes twentytwelve, thewtythirteen...
Your theme is amazing, there are so many options, that will take me a few days to understand the possibilities.
Thank you so much for this theme.
One suggestion: it would be great having some fancy animations like in the theme 'simplepress' from 'eleganttheme' (that I tried from a downloaded version but the legal one is too expensive for me, so I did not keep it)
The theme is good and easy use, there is a big help for me. I really like this!
i like the theme,specially the footer credit can be edited.

China's veto of an alliance between major Western shipping firms shows its growing heft now extends to crucial global competition regulation -- and analysts say it uses the power to protect its own commercial interests.
Beijing's commerce ministry on Tuesday rejected a proposed cooperation agreement involving the world's three largest container operators -- all Europe-based -- citing a negative impact on competition, particularly on Asia-Europe routes.
As the world's biggest container shipping user China is a key market for the trio -- Denmark's A.P. Moeller-Maersk, France's CMA CGM and the Swiss MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company -- and they immediately abandoned the plan.
It marked the first time the world's second-biggest economy had blocked a proposed move involving solely foreign entities, and analysts said it showed that concerns over the impact on its own companies was crucial.
"The main purpose is to protect the overseas development of domestic shipping companies," said Jiang Yuechun, director of the Department for World Economy and Development Studies at the China Institute of International Studies.
"Chinese companies are facing more obstacles and all sorts of troubles overseas," Jiang told AFP, adding that it was "obligatory for the ministry to make some efforts regarding the survival and development of companies overseas".
Until now, merging multinationals have largely had to worry only about US and European regulators. But the changing landscape could also have positive aspects for industries in other countries outside the Western giants.
Mario Mariniello, economist at the Brussels based think-tank Bruegel and a specialist in competition policy and regulation issues, said there was "a structural difference between the Chinese regulation and the European regulation".
"In China, the impact on national competitors is a factor, so the law itself leaves a wider scope for interpretation," he added. "In Europe, you only take into account the impact on customers."
Mariniello said, however, that China has so far taken an overwhelmingly supportive approach, noting that over a five-year period Beijing cleared 97 percent of mergers it reviewed, while most of the rest were approved with conditions.
Just a single merger -- between Coca-Cola and Chinese beverage maker Huiyuan -- was blocked in 2009.
- 'Sigh of relief' -
The proposed shipping alliance, which would have been known as P3, had already been given the go-ahead by regulators in Europe and the United States, so China's veto came as a surprise.
The aim was to cut costs on Asia-Europe, trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific routes by creating a system similar to code-sharing agreements among airlines, allowing the companies to put cargo on each others' vessels.
But in the statement announcing its move China's commerce ministry expressed concern, saying the alliance would increase the companies' "combined capacity in container shipping on Asia-Europe routes" and give them a "substantial increase in market concentration".
"The veto will help reduce the impact on Chinese shipping companies," industry expert Wu Minghua told China's Dongfang Daily newspaper.
But firms in other countries could also benefit.
"We breathed a sigh of relief to be honest," said Kim Kyong-Hoon, general manager of the Korea Shipowners' Association.
"Shipping companies have been suffering from a global slowdown and the emergence of such a powerful alliance would have dealt a real blow to the South Korean shipping industry," Kim told AFP.
"Had it gone ahead, it would have had a major impact on us."
Chinese transportation giant COSCO is a growing influence in world shipping, and part of an alliance that includes South Korea's Hanjin Shipping, Taiwan's Yang Ming Marine Transport and Japan's "K" Line.
China's new-found veto power over international business deals is another consequence of its rise towards the top of global economic league tables.
"In terms of balance of power, China obviously has the capability to block this kind of merger," Alexandre Baradez, a financial markets analyst at derivatives trading firm IG, told AFP.
"It is an economic heavyweight, which gives Beijing a free hand."
But Jiang, of the China Institute of International Studies, warned that Beijing had to tread carefully.
"Western countries and especially China's neighbouring countries are already worried about a rising China," he said.
"If China shows a tougher stance, it might be harmful to its future development in the international arena."

FAIR: 'Pac-Man' Rubio 'Suddenly Reappeared on the Left'
The anti-immigrant Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is none too happy with this week's bipartisan Senate immigration reform proposal, which includes a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. In an interview with the American Family Association's Sandy Rios, FAIR communications director Bob Dane singled out Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, one of the GOP's strongest voices in favor of reform. Dane said that Rubio is like Pac-Man, who "ran along the edge of the screen on the right side and then disappeared [until] he sort of suddenly reappeared on the left."
Echoing right-wing immigration reform opponents like Jim DeMint, Steve King and Bryan Fischer, Dane argued that supporting immigration reform would ultimately lead to the GOP's "self-destruction" because undocumented immigrants are "heavily government-dependent" and are "all going to vote Democrat."
Rios: Are you disappointed that Marco Rubio has come down the way he's come down on this issue?
Dane: Look, Rubio is a good guy. It reminds me of the old Pac-Man video game. When Pac-Man ran along the edge of the screen on the right side and then disappeared, he sort of suddenly reappeared on the left, back onto the playing field. The Republicans are pushing amnesty. Rubio is either going to be the hero or the goat on this, this could go either way, this is a very high-wire act for him.
It's a knee-jerk reaction by Republicans to Romney's poor showing with Hispanics in the recent election. But they've got to be very careful. Frankly, our opinion is the Republicans, the GOP is setting the stage for a self-destruction. Here's why. An amnesty bill is going to split that party. The Republicans aren't going to get any credit. And finally, what sense does it make to grant an amnesty to 12 million heavily government-dependent illegal aliens when they're all going to vote Democrat?

Legions of fans were bewildered after Stephen Colbert canceled his show this week, citing unforeseen circumstances.
Many wondered if the funnyman, known for turning the political system on its head with presidential runs and Super PACs, had another trick up his sleeve, but CBS reports Friday that the circumstances are far more sobering: his mother is ill.
Colbert, the youngest of 11, is reportedly close to his 91-year-old mother. The nature of his mother's sickness is unknown; CBS says his spokesman have provided no details.
There's no word when he'll be back on the set of his Comedy Central show. Until then, Comedy Central says they'll be airing reruns.

Books You Thought Libraries Were Dull
posted by August 22 at 11:00 AMon
Gawker has two interesting bits of library-based news this morning. First, the Wisconsin lady whose mugshot is to the left of this writing was arrested on August 6th for having two overdue library books. The late fees totaled almost 38 dollars. It's true that the books were Oprah pick White Oleander and Dan Brown awfulness Angels & Demons, but I still think she's cute. She's got the crazy eyes.
Second, a Michigan librarian got fired for publishing a tell-all book about being a librarian. Gawker has the publisher's description of the book:
"Open this book and you'll meet the naked patron, the greedy, unenlightened patrons, destination hell, the masturbator, horny old men, Mr. Three Hats, and a menagerie of other characters you never dreamt were housed at your public library."

I'm using WordPress (latest stable release) as a CMS for a work related website (http://www.uea.ac.uk/eml). This works fine on most computers, but my boss is still using IE6 on Windows XP. He's seeing a lot of the inline images 'squashed', with the correct horizontal size but the wrong vertical one. Some of these issues disappear on reloading, others do not.
I've had a trawl around for a fix in general CSS terms, but all that comes up is ensuring there is a proper DTD in the pages to avoid quirks mode. That should be fine, so I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any ideas?

I needed to replace the side view mirror on the drivers side of my 2005 Nissan Maxima. I went to the dealer and the price was outrageous! Fortunately the parts rep suggested that I try on line. Your company was very helpful and I was able to replace the mirror for much less than the dealership asked. Service was very good.

A diamond with a really nice look does not have any visible inclusion! Any inclusion that you can see with your naked eye will look ugly and lower the appearance of the diamond tremendously.
This is why diamond experts like yourdiamondteacher.com recommend to only choose diamonds that have no inclusions that can be made out with the eye. Such diamonds are also called eye clean diamonds.
How do you get eye clean diamonds?
Of course you could simply choose a flawless diamond and you could be sure to have an eye clean diamond. Flawless diamonds however are very rare and expensive.
After the "Internally Flawless" clarity grade there are also several more clarity grades most of which are always eye clean.
The problem with these clarity grades is the fact that you are just paying too much money.
You have to ask yourself the following question: What kind of diamond do you actually want?
Well, it should be a diamond that has no visible inclusions! But as long as this is the case why should you pay more for a higher clarity grades that does not give you any additional benefits!
It is foolish to pay for things that you can only make out on the grading report!
This is why our top recommendation is to go with SI1 diamonds!
SI1 actually stands for Slighty Included 1. It refers to inclusions that are noticeable under 10x magnification.
Is it really a good idea to buy diamonds with the SI1 clarity grade?
The tricky thing about SI1 diamonds however is that some of SI1 diamonds also have inclusions that can be made out with the bare eyes.
This is exactly why you will need to have to look more than closely at a SI1 diamond before actually deciding to buy it!
Many people automatically discard SI1 diamond rings because they have heard that there were cases of ugly SI1 diamonds.
Of course, it is true that you can go out and find SI1 diamonds that are not eye clean!
But you can just as well find SI1 diamonds that do not have any ugly inclusion inside! In fact, most SI1 diamonds do not have a visible inclusion!
This is why we think that in general it is a good idea to buy a SI1 diamond. Of course, you want to make sure that you can examine the diamond beforehand. You never want to buy a SI1 diamond blindly!
This is why we actually recommend not to buy from diamond vendors such as Blue Nile.
Blue Nile does not give you any options to view the diamond! This is why in that particular case we consider it to be a rather bad idea to buy from Blue Nile
But if you are buying a diamond at a local jewelry store we think it might be a pretty good idea to ask for SI1 diamonds.
Is it not safer to go for VS2 diamonds?
There are always people who do not want to take any risk whatsoever. To these people we can only recommend to buy a VS2 clarity diamond.
The good thing about VS2 diamonds is that they never contain visible inclusions.
VS2 diamonds cost more than SI1 diamonds but for people that don't want to take any chances VS2 diamonds might be the best choice!
In our personal experience we have never encountered an VS2 diamond with visible inclusions.
As you surely know there are still many other clarity grades above the VS2 clarity grade.
While it still makes sense to go for a VS2 diamond we think that any clarity grade higher than that is just a waste of money!
Instead of paying for such premium features we would rather advise people to take the money they can save on the diamond clarity and invest it into a larger diamond carat weight.
This makes more sense and ensures that you will get the best value for your precious money!
Especially for diamond earrings we recommend to go for the SI1 clarity grade. This is simply due to the fact that diamond earrings will be scrutinized much less than diamonds that belong to an engagement ring!

Arvette handled my divorce in 1984 and a child support issue in 2008. She is extremely professional yet very supportive, even giving me a pep talk on how I was going to make it as a single mom as we walked out of court after my divorce hearing. I will never forget it. Watch her in action compared with other attorneys and you will see a huge difference. She is fair and willing to take the extra steps to help you without nickle and diming you like so many of my friends' attorney have done. You really feel like you have a friend in your corner who is looking to be fair and equitable (to all parties). Since she handled my most recent issue, my ex finally saw the light and we have never gotten along so well in 17 years of co-parenting. I recommend her every chance I get to someone who is looking for an a divorce attorney.
