TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Gov. Rick Scott is seeking federal disaster assistance due to the failure of Florida's oyster fishery.
Scott sent a letter Thursday to the U.S. Department of Commerce requesting the declaration of a fishery resource disaster for Gulf of Mexico harvesting areas.
Most of Florida's oysters are taken from Apalachicola Bay in the Panhandle. The fishery failure could affect 2,500 jobs in Franklin County.
Officials suspect drought is a contributing factor. It's reduced freshwater flowing into the bay from Georgia and Alabama through the Apalachicola River.
Another factor may be overfishing due to pressure from closures of oyster harvesting areas in nearby states.
A disaster declaration would make economic assistance available to businesses and individuals in the oyster industry.
Funds also could be obtained to help restore oyster beds.

With pension fund investments, private equity pays off
26th Jun 12
In this article, Keith Larson and Ted Wheeler of the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund talk about the fund's strategy to deliver value to its members by investing in private equity.
Since 1981, private equity has been the fund's top performer: if Oregon had not invested in private equity over the past decade and instead put the money in the stock market, it would have had $4 billion less in earnings, or $400 million less every year – the equivalent of losing 4,000 teachers per year.
Over the past decade, about 71% of the money needed to pay for benefits came from investment-generated income: a large part of which was attributable to Oregon's decision to invest in private equity.
"We are unanimous in our belief that the trade-offs of private equity are worth it for Oregon and are key to the sustainability of PERS," say the authors.
"The performance of these investments strengthens our ability to fund schools, public safety and other critical services, with less money coming out of taxpayers' pockets."

text: Hi. I'm wondering if it is possible to list all the posts in a particular category (and olny that category) on a page, using a custom page template? Specfically, if you take a look at http://www.abeldesign.com/richardbuxton/reference/transcripts/ I would ideally like this page to have a brief intro paragraph, followed by a list of links to all items in the transcripts category. I'm fairly new to hacking WP to behave like a CMS so any help would be hugely appreciated. I don't really know where to start, although I'm working through the codex in hope of finding an answer, but if any geniuses out there can speed up the process that would be great.

Downsample for the web Photoshop CC
Downsampling for the web
In this movie, I'll show you the best way to down-sample an image for the Web. I'm working inside a file called Big Venice panorama, and it's a much larger version of that banner art. So, what I'd like to do is have that smaller file load by default, and then if somebody clicks on it. They'll see a larger version of this image, but not this large. If you click and hold down this doc item down here in the lower left corner of the window, you'll see the width of this image is 4802 pixels, which wouldn't even fit on the biggest retina display out there.
So there's no sense in providing this many pixels with my web art. Fortunately, you can down sample your image from the save for web dialogue box, unfortunately, it doesn't do a very good job. So, we'll start things off by going up to the File menu and choosing Save for web. This is a continuous tone image, so I don't want to work with the PNG eight format. I want JPEG instead. So I'll go ahead, and select JPEG like so, and next what I want to do is reduce the size of my image to 33%, and that's going to affect both the width and height values as well, and I'll go ahead, and scroll my artwork like so.
And zoom in a couple of clicks here by pressing Ctrl + Plus or Cmd + Plus on the Mac. Now notice this quality setting. We do have control over the interpolation theoretically anyway. And for example, nearest neighbor works just fine. If you select it you'll end up with these jagged transitions. As were seeing here, both in the optimized Jpeg view. And in the original view, which doesn't really make any sense, but that's the way it is. Whereas the other options all do the same thing. So notice if I switch to Bilinear, which provides the smoothest interpolation.
And then I'll go ahead and switch to Bicubic Sharper, which is the sharpest interpolation. Keep an eye on this boat on screen here. Notice when I chose by cubic sharper, nothing happens. And so, if you really do want control over the interpolation, you have to down sample the image using the Image Size command instead. Which is exactly what I'm going to do. So, I'll go ahead and click on the cancel button in order to cancel out of this dialog box. And then, I'll press shift tab in order to bring up my right side panels and notice I have a couple of adjustment layers at work.
Before you scale your image for the web. You're best off flattening it which means that you want to duplicate the image before you start by going up to the Image menu and choosing the Duplicate command. And I'll go ahead and accept this default name and turn on duplicate merge layers only, in order to create a flat version the file as we see here. And I'm going to create another copy, so that we can compare couple of different interpolation methods and see how things ought to work inside Safer Web, by choosing the Duplicate command once again.
And this time, I don't have to select this check box. In fact, it's dimmed because the image is already flat. And I'll go ahead and accept it as well. All right. Now, with the second copy open, I'll go up to the Image menu and choose the Image Size command. And I've got this thing set up so its taking up the entire screen. Notice that my width and height values is set to percent and so I'll just go ahead and take the width value down to 33% and I'll change resample so we can see the difference here, to bi linear. And you don't need to worry about the resolution value by the way. That has no effect on web graphics.
So just go ahead and click OK in order to down sample that image. And it's going to appear quite small by comparison to the way it did before. And I'm going to zoom in on that boat this little bit and I'll switch over to the first copy, go up to the image menu, choose image size again, dial in 33% for the with value and we want both the width and height values to be the linked together, by the way. And now I'll change resample to automatic which when downsampling the image, as were doing here, goes ahead and automatically assigns by keeping sharper.
And now I'll click okay. And I'll go ahead and zoom in on this graphic as well. Alright now let's take a look at these images. Actually I'm going to zoom in quite a bit on the bi-linear version. By pressing control plus or command plus. Let's say until we get to 400%. And then I'll go up to the window menu. Choose a range. And choose match all. So that we'll have alignment between our two images. So this is an example of bilinear interpolation, and this is an example of bicubic sharper, which is going to work better for our purposes.
So with this image selected. Go ahead and zoom out a little bit, so I can take it in the way it was meant to be viewed at 100%. And then, I'll go up to the file menu and choose Save for web. I need to once again switch from PNG eight to JPEG because I cancelled out of the dialogue box last time around. And, I'll go ahead and scroll over to the boat, I suppose. This time around, we do not need to modify the image size. It's already been modified so we'll leave that option alone. Now, by default, the quality setting is going to be set to high.
Which in my case, will generate a JPEG file that's 284 k. Which means that it's going to take four seconds to download at one megabit per second. But presumably people want to see a good version of this file. Because after all they clicked on the small thumbnail. So I'm going to take the quality up to very high. Which will generate a file that's almost 500 k. But again the people want it. So it seems like the right way to go. Now click the save button. And I'll go ahead and truncate the name here a little bit by getting rid of the word copy.
Other wise the settings are just fine as is. And then I'll click the Save button, in order to save off the optimized jpeg version of that graphic. And that's the best way to down sample a web graphic, using the Image Size command as opposed to Safer Web. Here inside photo shop.

A full-scale replica of the time machine in the 1963 movie
The Time Machine, based on the book by H.G. Wells, will be on
display in Oamaru until late December.
The replica, which is one of only six replicas of the machine
in the world, is part of the Steampunk-Tomorrow As It Used To
Be exhibition at the Customs House gallery in Tyne St.
Exhibition co-organiser Iain Clark said "hundreds" of people
had flocked to the exhibition since it opened last month.
"A lot of people have been through the exhibition and
hopefully we have helped inspire a lot of people."
Mr Clark said although the exhibition would run until March,
the time machine was only on loan from a museum in the United
Kingdom for six weeks.
"It will leave in late December, but it will be replaced with
other equally enthralling pieces."
The exhibition also included more than 150 works created by
pupils from Fenwick School and Oamaru Intermediate School,
alongside established Steampunk artists, he said.
"There are still pieces coming in all the time. We still have
artists asking if we think we can make room for more."
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

Sorry for multiple questions in one post. Here's my scenario:
I currently use MT. I'm happy with it. However, my hosting is costing me more than I'd like to pay due to bandwidth overage. It looks like I'll have to switch hosts.
If I do, I can no longer get MT without paying for it, so I'd prefer to switch to WP. Here are my questions:
Is it hard to switch from MT to WP? I'm a CSS HTML moron. Can I use the same template? Are there any hosts that support WP that anyone can suggest?
Thanks for the help.

Got build burn from the last couple days Now after a hard days work i'm ready to get her finished up.
I have a feeling that there are some builds out there nearing completion. I would like to hear how the builds are going and what the thoughts are out there thus far on the plane. I am very pleased with how it has gone together and can't wait to get it in the air. That should be this weekend. Video will follow shortly there after.
I am going to work on the electronics tonight. The build instructions do not real cover much about installing the electronics. . Most experienced builders will have their own ideas about where to mount everything but I will post pic of how I do mine for those that may need some ideas. Keep in mind that there are numerous ways to configure the electronics. There is no right or wrong as long as you can achieve the correct CG which I think JC said was 110 from the leading edge at the root. I have not look at this yet but will now when deciding where to mount my electronics.
I thing to keep in mind is weight distribution. If you plane to run a lighter battery then you may want to mount things more forward or versa visa for a heavier battery.
So let hear how those builds are going.
Build Note: The build diagram and written instructions have now been updated and there is a link provided on the first thread post.
Looks as though the CG has been revised to 100mm? I will post my CG findings after a few flights.
Good luck with the build.
What kind of throws are you getting on ailerons?
I'm ready to cut the servos in but took some quick measurements and with the longest servo arm, I look to get about 20* of aileron with endpoints at 100%.
Are you using extended arms on the ailerons?
I used standard arms. I wanted to follow the designers recommendations as much as possible. As you can see, I probably have around 20 degrees throw. (I did not measure) It does not look like much compared to some of my 3D monsters I have but, Those are barn doors with 20 degrees!! They are massive ailerons. If I do need more throw then I can easly install extended arms to gain it. I will report back soon, I am going to fly later today.
Got her in the air this morning. CG at 100mm. Electronics are:
Turnigy C3530-1100 motor w/12x6 APC prop
Hobbywing 40A ESC w/5v UBEC
Hitech HS65MG's all the way around
Spyder 1800mh 3S 25c battery
Spektrum AR6100e receiver (DX8 trans.)
Don't have a weight yet. Don't even have throw measurements either. I just set everything and went for it. First flight she wanted to pitch up badly. I thought "I've got everything as far forward as it will go...". Landed and realized my elevator linkage was off. Back to the bench. Also lost wheel nut on front LG. First change, lock nuts on wheels and remove pants. Done. Couldn't get the ailerons to level properly so did some changing there as well. Had to move battery and ESC all the way forward to get to balance at 100mm CG. Here are the changes I made:
-Got rid of the non adjustable aileron control linkage. Replaced with adjustable.
-Replaced the kevlar thread on the rudder control with a proper lightweight cable and adjustable arm mounts. Just recycled from an old plane. May go back to the kevlar thread for weight. Just got impatient on trying to make the adjuster.
-Added spacers between landing gear and wheel. Wheel wanted to rub on wheel pants mount. Ended up getting rid of wheel pants. They'll just get knocked off anyway. Kept spacers though.
-Cut elevator control arm rod shorter in order to get elevator servo to fit behind wind and clear aileron. Used an adjustable nut to secure control rod to servo arm instead of both "Z" bars. Kept "Z" bar on elevator control horn but cut the other one off and just glued straight piece of wire into carbon rod.
-Added 1.55mm spacer plate behind left side of motor mount to give right thrust offset. Seems to be enough so far.
Other things I'd like to do:
-Add thin plywood for servo mounts. Clean up servo installation.
-Stiffen the rudder and vertical stabilizer. I noticed quite a bit of wiggle while flying but it really didn't affect the plane as far as I could tell. Maybe even reinforce the rudder hinge in the foam.
-pre cut the pocket for the rudder servo before gluing the top half of the fuselage. This would allow easier placement in the middle of the fuse.
-Add longer servo arms for the ailerons. Could use some more throw but we'll see. It flies great as it is.
It's a good flier. It's slower on moves than a balsa plane, but that's to be expected. It's my first EPP plane so I'm getting used to it. It floats through all of the moves instead of instant snaps. It's a great plane for learning 3D as a beginner and will be great for relaxed flying for an experienced 3D pilot. The moves are big and slow. Easy to pull out of a situation. Gives you time. I'm very happy with the Sbach.
Here are some pics of my setup
I'm thinking 35* at least for good 3D and 45* is even more desirable. Maybe I'm wrong but my gut says it needs it.
I will convert to adjustable aileron and elevator linkages as well.
Anxiously awaiting your flight report.
Your thoughts on all throws and CG?
I think I got everything done and ready for my Maiden flight. The Only thing I need Now at this moment if for the rain to stop.
But till then I took some time to get a few "Pre-Maiden Flight" pictures. Wanted to share my set up with anyone interested before I Pummel this beautiful maching to the ground like how Iv been doing to my 44" and 32" TH planes.
AnyHow, Enjoy! And Thank You Shawn, cdee, parksinatree and of course, Twisted Realm.

"Eye of the Needle" resembles nothing so much as one of those downbeat, plodding, quietly horrifying, and sometimes grimly funny war movies that used to be made by the British film industry, back when there was a British film industry. They used to star Stanley Baker or Trevor Howard. This one stars Donald Sutherland, as the kind of introverted psychopath who should inhabit only black-and-white movies, although the color here is sometimes gloomy enough to suffice. I admired the movie. It is made with quiet competence, and will remind some viewers of the Hitchcock who made "The Thirty-Nine Steps" and "Foreign Correspondent." It is about a German spy, the "Needle," who dropped out of sight in Germany in 1938 and now inhabits a series of drab bed-sitting-rooms in England while he spies on the British war effort. He is known as the Needle because of his trademarked way of killing people by jabbing a stiletto into their rib cages. He kills with a singular lack of passion; this is Jack the Ripper crossed with J. Alfred Prufrock. As played by Sutherland, the Needle is a very lonely man. We are given hints to explain his isolation: He was raised by parents who did not love him, he was shipped off to boarding schools, he spent parts of his childhood in America, where he learned English. None of these experiences fully explains his ruthlessness, but then perhaps it is just a spy's job to be ruthless.
The plot is part espionage, part cliff-hanger. The Needle discovers phony plywood "airplanes" intended to look, from the air, like Patton's invasion force, a ruse to throw off the Germans. His assignment is to personally deliver news of the actual Allied invasion plans to Hitler. This he intends to do with every fiber of his being, and yet we never get the feeling that the this man is a patriotic Nazi. He is more of a dogged functionary. In his attempts to rendezvous with a Nazi submarine, he's shipwrecked on an isolated island occupied only by a lighthouse-keeper and by a young married couple, a woman (Kate Nelligan), her legless husband (Christopher Cazenove), and their son. The last third of the movie turns into a bloody melodrama, as the Needle kills the husband and the lighthouse-keeper and threatens the woman, first in a psychological way and then with violence. But before the final standoff, he pretends to be merely a lost sailor. And the woman, frustrated by her husband's drunkenness and refusal to love, becomes attracted to the stranger. They make love. She grows fond of him. Does he grow fond of her? We can never be sure, but he tells her things he has told to no one else.
Some people will find the movie slow going. I preferred to think of it as deliberate. It is effective, I think, to develop a plot like this at a deliberate pace, instead of rushing headlong through it. That gives us time to meditate on the character of the Needle, and to ponder his very few, enigmatic references to his own behavior. We learn things about him that he may not even know about himself, and that is why the film's final scene is so much more complex than it seems. "The war has come down to the two of us," Sutherland tells Nelligan, and in the final exchange of desperate looks between the man and the woman there is a whole universe left unspoken. The movie ends with Nelligan regarding a man who is either a treacherous spy or an unloved child, take your choice.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Virginia Tech proved in a dramatic victory against Pittsburgh that it can win without its star quarterback, Michael Vick.
That's a good thing, too, because the way Vick was moving after the second-ranked Hokies' 37-34 victory Saturday night, they may have to do it again at Miami next weekend in a game that will knock the loser from championship contention.
Vick sprained his right ankle just before halftime when he was sacked in a collapsing pile. X-rays at halftime showed no break, but Vick looked nothing like college football's most exciting player, hobbling gingerly after the game.
On Sunday, however, trainer Mike Goforth reexamined Vick's ankle and said he was pleasantly surprised by how much the swelling had gone down, especially compared to the high ankle sprain that caused Vick to miss a game last season.
''To me it looked a lot better than I expected it to, since there wasn't any swelling,'' Goforth said. ''It doesn't compare to last year's, according to Michael and according to my clinical evaluation. I feel pretty good about his chances.''
Vick couldn't put any weight on his foot after the game, but Goforth said he was able to withstand some weight Sunday and ''is getting around a lot better.''
Vick's game, though, is built on speed and elusiveness, and while Virginia Tech has ordered a special orthotic brace that Vick could wear on the field, the key remains how well his ankle can withstand the stress of Vick's movements.
''You never know how somebody's going to respond to one of these, especially somebody that has to do what Michael does,'' Goforth said. ''To see the bend he gets in his body on a lot of his moves, it's kind of like a Barry Sanders-type thing.''
Goforth said if Vick was an offensive lineman, he could already say that it's likely he would be ready by Saturday, but Vick's chances seem to be about 50-50.
''A lot of times with ankle injuries, you'll be able to run straight ahead but not be able to do the cutting and that type stuff,'' he said. ''Since his game is cutting and being able to make plays, we won't know until that time comes.''
Miami coach Butch Davis isn't buying that Vick is questionable for the game, which has been anticipated all season as another epic in the growing rivalry.
''He's not hurt. If you think he's hurt, you're kidding yourself,'' Davis said Sunday, acknowledging that Vick ''probably sprained his ankle'' against Pittsburgh, but not enough to have his standing on the sidelines of the Orange Bowl.

Released: Sep 12th, 2011
Running Time: 136 Min.
Directors: Eddie Powell, Chloe Sampson
Company: New Sensations
DVD Extras: Behind the Scenes, Bonus Scenes, Outtakes, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s), Widescreen
Cast: Sinn Sage, Zoe Voss, Julia Ann, Celeste Star, Samantha Ryan, Dana DeArmond, India Summer
Non-sex Roles: Melissa Jacobs, Allie Haze
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Girl, Feature
The drama and passion at fashion magazine Haute Couture continues as the interns try to please the editor-in-chief, Julia Ann. Still unaware of her betrayal by Allie (Haze), Samantha (Ryan) goes toe-to-toe with her rival, Ruth (Melissa Jacobs). Meanwhile, having lost precious photographs, Zoe (Voss) is sent on an impossible mission. And editorial assistant Eve (Dana DeArmond) interviews a potential new intern (Celeste Star). But there's one question on everyone's minds: Can she handle the position?
In this follow-up to the series' premiere release, the struggle to maintain the status of Julia Ann's high-gloss, high-end fashion magazine Haute Couture continues. It's all gorgeously shot and lit—the performers look really good—and the storyline will please women and couples looking for an evening's entertainment.
India Summer seduces Samantha Ryan—Summer agrees to buy more ad space if she can sample Ryan's twat. (Note to AVN ad sales staff—check out this sales technique!) Editorial assistant Dana DeArmond is predatory and aggressive with dewy-eyed intern Celeste Star, and the glee that DeArmond takes in molesting Star and having Star eat her out is unmistakable.
Fashion photographer Sinn Sage gets intern Zoe Voss to fill in for an absent model … and then promptly gets Voss to undress for the photos. They bump and grind on a comfy white couch. Voss impresses head-bitch-in-charge Ann with the photo spread and by spreading Ann's legs open to get to her twat. The power play between the two is erotic as hell and their fuck is grand.

New Social Gaming Opportunities Emerge For Music Industry
By Antony Bruno
Social gaming on Facebook is a growing trend that is slowly starting to see more opportunities for the music industry. The most recent development is the official launch of Nightclub City, a game that lets users oversee virtual live music settings.
The game soft-launched in April, meaning it just appeared on Facebook with no marketing and no details about what company was behind it. It's since gained 4.5 million active users and was ranked by Inside Social Games as the No. 1 Best Facebook Game of 2010.
Today, game development firm Booyah announced it's behind the game, and is starting the official push for more users and more content. Similar to other popular Facebook games, like Farmville, Nightclub City lets users create and customize a virtual environment - in this case, nightclubs. Players control the look/feel of the dancefloor, the bar, and even pick the tracks played. They can even update and access info from an iPhone app as well.
From the release:
In Booyah's Nightclub City, players are placed in charge of a modest bar, armed with a wide selection of real-life music tracks and the dream of being the most popular hotspot in town. Players listen to killer music sets powered by real-life artists, ranging from rock to hip hop to electro mixes, as they run their personal club. Each user can also customize the look of their nightclub with decorative items with the ability to hire real-life Facebook friends as bartenders and bouncers as they spin the night away with the latest songs from new artists and bands across the world.
Participating artists license their music to the game, which for now consist primarily of emerging artists, such as "the hip-hop violinist" Miri Ben-Ari. But Booyah wants a lot more music available in the game, and is positioning itself as a music promotional platform to do so. For instance, it says participating artists have seen a 1,000% increase in the number of "like" links on Facebook as a result of their inclusion in the game.
Other music moves in social gaming this week include the developers of Platinum Life extending the hip-hop mogul game to MySpace.
From the release: Platinum Life sets players on a meteoric rise through the hip-hop industry. From the mean streets to penthouse suites, players will complete missions, rock performances and battle other players as an aspiring rapper, DJ or singer to progress through the game.
Platinum Life features some of the top talent in hip-hop, including Ludacris, Omarion, Trina, Shontelle, DJ Skee and more, who players can choose as their Music Icon to guide them through their rise to the top of the industry. As fans return to Platinum Life to continue their progress, they'll unlock dozens of Achievements that they can brag about to their friends through their online profile.
Coinciding with the MySpace expansion is a Battle of the Sexes contest that pits male users versus female users to see which collectively can earn the most virtual cash. Winners are entered for a chance to see Ludacris in concert. Additionally, Def Jam Recordings is also taking over the game for a period of time, offering in-game virtual items from acts on its roster like the Roots, Big Boi and Rick Ross.

The Almanac of Women and Minorities in American Politics
Westview Press, 1999 - Political Science - 293 pages
Who was the first African-American senator? Who was the first woman to cast a vote in the New World? Have any gays or lesbians held state-wide office? The answers are here in The Almanac of Women and Minorities in American Politics. The culmination of Mart Martin's two years of diligent research, this is the first comprehensive single-volume reference to all women, African-Americans, Hispanics, Asian-Americans, native minorities, gays, and lesbians who have served in state or national elected positions, with additional information on local elected positions. Completely non-partisan and non-judgmental in approach, this valuable resource provides a complete reference on the "political" accomplishments of these people, as opposed to taking a "biographical" approach.Accurate, thoroughly factual, and up-to-date, this volume also features: a chronology from colonial times to the present for each ethnic group; a roster of political achievements in the United States by members of each group; details on women who have served as head of state/government in other countries; and "Notable Firsts" biographical sketches in each section. As the color and gender of our politics change, this almanac serves as an indispensable desk reference for teachers, students, journalists, and authors.

OFF THE SHELF; Seeing Spies Behind the Boardrooms
By ALISON LEIGH COWAN
Published: December 10, 2000
ADAM L. PENENBERG was just another young, obscure reporter at an online magazine in May 1988, when an article in The New Republic crossed his desk. It was about hackers, a subject he knew something about, and even though it was by Stephen Glass, a journalistic prodigy, it didn't smell right. The more that Mr. Penenberg looked into it, the more he realized that nearly everything about it was, as he put it, ''unverifiable.''
In fact, the article was a sham, and on such shambles, careers are lost and found. Mr. Glass was soon in literary exile, and Mr. Penenberg was soon writing for Forbes magazine.
Now, Mr. Penenberg seems hellbent on leaping from tales of wayward hackers joy-riding on the Web to tales of industrial espionage and cross-border double-crosses, and he has done so in a way that makes one wonder what happened to the reporter who once had a better built-in nonsense detector.
The co-writer of the book was Marc Barry, a self-styled corporate spy whom Mr. Penenberg profiled two years ago in Forbes and who has the unfortunate habit of calling his co-author ''Slick.'' The book is meant to be a series of vignettes about the little-known world in which companies think nothing about spying on one another for advantage. ''It is often the difference,'' the authors intone, ''between a fat, happy hundred-million-dollar company and bankruptcy.''
With the end of the cold war, they explain, all those ''hard-core spooks'' had to find jobs. Corporate America, they report, was all too happy to put them to work building trussed-up war rooms, trawling trade shows and otherwise turning intelligence-gathering into ''one of America's fastest-growing industries.''
It would make for nice reading, but, unfortunately, the sprawling, overheated mess that Mr. Penenberg and Mr. Barry have delivered, ''Spooked: Espionage in Corporate America'' (Perseus Publishing, $26), is full of the kind of unsupported allegations and unnamed riffraff that make verification out of the question.
It is, however, unintentionally hilarious in several places.
''Israeli and Chinese spies are notorious for setting up front companies,'' the authors tell us. But, they add, as far as spying on allies goes, ''Israel doesn't hold a candle to France, which has no peers.'' Only one page later, this news flash: ''Although the French have been the most aggressive, Japan has turned business intelligence into a fine art.''
Today's spies, we're told, are nothing like their hokey Hollywood image. ''They are often likeable guys, with a contagious laugh and disarming wit, great storytellers with anecdotes to spare,'' the book reports.
We learn that Victor Lee, a scientist who was with Avery Dennison, a maker of adhesives, and who passed trade secrets to a Taiwanese rival, did so because he feared reliving the poverty of his youth. Readers who do not remember earlier accounts of the scandal have no clue how the authors may know Mr. Lee's state of mind.
Journalists can be bought, too, apparently. ''Barry says some spooks maintain a stable of trade journalists they pay on the sly,'' the authors report, invoking the third person. Natch, no names.
Maybe it's all in Mr. Penenberg's notes, and he simply cannot reveal his sources. Real reporters do not reveal their sources, after all. But real spies do not talk this way, either -- not if they want to eat.
It doesn't help that Mr. Penenberg and his co-author come off as such true believers in the power of competitive intelligence, the preferred term of those in the ''spy community'' to describe everything from faking identities to hitting the library. In the chapter about Jan Herring, the former C.I.A. agent who jump-started Motorola's intelligence unit, the authors write as if Motorola's stock rose in proportion to its devotion to competitive intelligence.
To even call much of what transpires at Motorola ''spying'' is a stretch. Yet Mr. Herring, apparently heroic for working with a ''paltry'' $1 million annual budget, gets credit for mining his underlings' sources so he can furnish biographies of the people sitting across from Motorola's ''ferrous willed'' chief executive, Robert W. Galvin, during a negotiation. Motorola's executives ''were able to make breezy conversation,'' the authors report, snag the deal and accomplish ''what no other U.S. company had been able to do previously: crack the Japanese market.''
It is also hard to take the book seriously, given its way of torturing the English language. Israel is called ''the plucky desert nation.'' Beer drinkers are ''fans of the amber nectar.'' Lucent is spun off from ''telecommunications papa AT&T.'' A hired gun seeking a key Toyota supplier hits pay dirt when, the book says, he ''pried open'' a New York phone book. Let's hope he didn't exert himself.
Likewise, there are far too few instances when the authors seek comment from the companies behind all the mischief. They write as if they already know how pointless it would be. In one of many chapters about Avery Dennison, a defense lawyer hired by Four Pillars, the Taiwanese adhesive maker that paid Mr. Lee to moonlight, argues that Four Pillars was actually victimized by Avery Dennison in the seven years, 1987 to 1994, that the two companies explored joint ventures, an allegation also lodged in a countersuit against Avery Dennison.
''Predictably, Avery took umbrage,'' the authors write. They quote Steven Fink, a company spokesman, as saying, ''The lawsuit can best be characterized as a blatant attempt to distract attention from Four Pillars' own criminal conduct,'' and ''the notion that Avery Dennison would be involved in joint venture discussions with Four Pillars or any company for a period of seven years is incredible.''
But the authors' own reporting earlier in the book suggests that the joint venture talks only lasted two years, from 1993 to 1995. So why mock?
Surely, the omissions and skimpy attribution cannot be chalked up to space constraints. Though footnotes are nowhere to be found, the authors do devote space to other helpful matters like the history of pizza, in a chapter about skulduggery in the pizza business. ''Although it is most certainly an Italian invention,'' the authors write of pizza, ''many of the ingredients, ironically, also emigrated from elsewhere.'' Best to leave the discussion about the tomatoes, ''at first an ornamental plant thought to be poisonous,'' for another time.
Perhaps the biggest unsolved mystery that the authors might know something about is what happened this past summer. That is when, in what his editor at Forbes called a publicity stunt to promote this book, Mr. Penenberg quit abruptly, complaining publicly that the magazine was not defending the First Amendment. Prosecutors had wanted him to testify about an article he wrote concerning the hackers who hijacked the Web site of The New York Times in late 1998. Forbes's lawyers had arranged it so that all Mr. Penenberg had to do was swear that his reporting was true and accurate. Instead, he declined. Just as we are with his book, we are left with Mr. Penenberg's standard: Just take his word for it.

"PHOENIX AZ: "It's interesting to see the evolution of a song" states singer songwriter Benjamin Hyatt while recording at the Craig Lawrence Productions Studios in Phoenix. "Some of my songs I had written long before getting into the studio and others I only had a verse or a chorus written before starting to record them. I always have the basic tune written before working in the studio but sometimes the rhythm or tempo will change and it just gives it that extra bit that it needed." The songs that will make up Hyatt's debut album titled "The Way You Move" are being produced by producer Craig Lawrence, who's credits include working at Sound On Sound studios and being involved in the production of such musical artists as Joe Strummer and Tom Petty."

An Arrowtown woman attacked by a cow yesterday, was taken to
hospital with bruising and concussion. She had been
attempting to release the cow's calf, which was caught
between two logs.
The 56-year-old woman was found by a passer-by lying near the
roadside about 10am yesterday, after she had fallen backwards
and hit her head on a log as a result of the cow's charge.
The woman had been walking along McDonnell Rd when she
spotted the newborn calf stuck between two logs in a paddock.
The woman, who wished not to be named, said she contemplated
the risk, but thought she could help the calf as the mother
was a good distance away.
"I know it was a silly thing to do."
She remembered being struck in the chest by the cow, falling
backwards and hitting her head, before somehow getting over
the barbed wire fence.
The passer-by took the woman to her doctor in Arrowtown,
where she was examined before being taken by ambulance to
Lakes District Hospital.
She received bruising and concussion and was bleeding from
the ear, but was in stable condition.
The Lakes District Hospital doctor attending the woman said
she was "very lucky". She was admitted to hospital overnight
and would be re-examined this morning.

Powercolor Radeon HD 4890 PCS+ review -
|Radeon HD 4890 PCS+
|Street price:
To be able to comply to a decent gaming experience on your PC these days, you need to inject a fair amount of money into a graphics card. Of course you want the best, yet you don't want to pay too much. This is why we all love competition. ATI, NVIDIA and soon Intel are all fighting for your hard earned cold cash. Competition is the mighty allspark of innovation and is responsible for the evolution of graphics cards. But not just that, stiff competition will also drive prices down. We've seen this with NVIDIA's GTX 280 release. That card introduced at 500~550 USD, and then came ATI .. owned by AMD we quickly saw a much desired change; prices of high-end graphics cards became much cheaper.
Currently you can pick up a high-end Radeon graphics card for under 250 USD. As a result of ATI's nearly brilliant strategy, NVIDIA had to follow, and they quickly launched a similar priced GeForce GTX 275, which let's face it ... is almost a GTX 285 at 250 USD.
So though the graphics industry might be in a bit of a slope right now, just look back at the past year .. when the Radeon HD 4850 and 4870 got launched, it completely reshaped the graphics arena, much to the dislike of team green as it made high-end graphics way more affordable.
Each high-end graphics card will always get a spin-off product. For the Radeon HD 4870 that meant the Radeon HD 4890, which was launched back in April. And while launched at 249 USD, you can now pick these faster clocked puppies already at 199 USD. And that creates a gap, an opportunity. See, the scalability of the Radeon HD 4890 is brilliant. Where the reference clocked products run at 850 MHz, they just can go much higher, if you create the right circumstances of course. Many manufacturers jumped onto that bandwagon and we right now are seeing the most extraordinary Radeon HD 4890 cards.
Today we test such a card, it comes from the chaps at PowerColor, they launched their Radeon HD 4890 PCS+ , a card with custom cooling, a lot of copper .. and it comes pre-overclocked at 950 MHz with a 4200 MHz memory frequency. That definitely sounds sexy, doesn't it?
Let's have a peek at the product and startup this in-depth review. Onwards to the next page fellows, and grab some coffee while you are at it.

The good news is that the holiday season doesn't have to be so stressful and draining. With a few little changes, it is possible to turn your exhausting holiday experience into one filled with joy and cheer -- it just all boils down to how you take care of you. Here are five ways to do that...

I was a total chameleon in my relationships. If someone else liked something, I liked it. Anything they believed, I believed. Any interest they had, I would take up myself.
As you prepare to dive into this upcoming holiday season and prepare for a new year, I invite you to consider cutting down your to-do lists to a bare minimum and perhaps make your one and only resolution to stick only to the things on that list.

I believe 2013 is a tipping point: the year where those who have survived during the recession, who have been bombarded all year long, will realize that life is too short to not make the time for the people you love or -- most importantly -- to make the time to love yourself.
I invite you to think about what deserves to be a priority on your to-do list so that you can be the best version of yourself for you and for others. Doing this requires proactive planning and some introspection.
I invite you to determine those things that help keep you sane, and not only put them on your list, but make them as important as the things that have a hard-and-fast expiration date. Making sure you have to-dos for yourself will help make you more productive, focused, and effective.

Not sure if there is already a thread on this, but i was wondering what the best products are. I have been using proactiv for a few months but it stops working for me now and then. I am also wondering which cleansers work. My skin can be sensitive so a lot of the Clean & Clear type products irritate my skin i can't get a prescription acne product yet because of my insurance changing but hopefully you gals have some good products :icon_bigg

I only find Proactiv Revitlaizing Toner is good for the skin . The rest of them containing BP are damaging and irritating the pimples. I used to have pimples, clogged pores and whitehead for more than 6 years. Now, I am using Netrogena Clearing Pore Night gel which contains 2 percent saliylic acid. It keeps me from poping up new acnes and fading the marks. Actually that products is kinda peeling thing. It greatly helps my face now. When I feel the area is gonna have pimples , I put the gel on and it stops growing. For the cleanser, I use cetpahill daily cleanser in the morning and neotrogener clear pore cleanser at night.

This happens to me too: a product will work wonders but will suddenly stop working or worse, cause acne Try Neutrogena, it's worked for me before.

There is a lot you can do for your acne besides just using medications, things to actually prevent it rather than treat it -- I have a bunch of info in my notepad, just click the link in my signature or to the left! To quickly answer your questions, the best over-the-counter treatment I've found is Neutrogenia On-The-Spot treatment. It contains 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, which is just as effective as the other 10% creams on the market but does not dry out your skin near as much. (The 10% always made my skin dry and peely, but I can use this 2.5% all over the acne-prone areas of my face as a preventative treatment and not have any dry skin!) I also wash and exfoliate with Cetaphil bar soap and a Buf Puf brand sponge as recommended by my dermatologist. I also use Stridex (2% salicylic acid) twice daily and Queen Helene's Mint Julep mask 1-2 times a week, but I'm not sure if either of those are making a huge difference -- I definitely noticed the biggest improvement when I added the Neutrogenia to my routine! Good luck and I hope you find something that works!

For cleansers, i would recommend the Dove cleansing cloth for sensitive skin or Basis sensitive skin bar. my skin is super sensitive and oily and these two products really worked well for me. it didn't irritate my skin like alot of other cleansers did.

hello everyone. well, i'm really considering getting on the pill for various reasons and i wanted to know from those of you that are on it or have been on it.. how did the pill effect your breakouts if it did at all? i've heard alot of good feedback reguarding acne and the pill but, i've heard a few instances where it actually made people skin worse.
#Post 9 of 367 OFFLINE
Posted 02 December 2005 - 11:46 PM
I can tell you from previous experience that when I was on the pill, my skin cleared up. I have been on Ortho tri-cylcen and estrostep and both worked well for me. You should go over your options with your gynecologist and decide what is best for you.

hey, well all of my experiences of the pill have been bad. the last one i took(don't remember the name),it was very low estrogen since i was breast feeding. it did make me break out which was odd since i have always had good skin. but it also caused other problems such as bad mood swings, and my legs got really sore so bad that i could hardly walk and i had all of these knots come up and the doctor said it was from the birth control. so now i'm on the iud which is much better.my periods are really light, but having them often which also could be from my body adjusting to it and since i just stopped breastfeeding my 2nd child. but my arms break out a little. i still like it better than the pill and the one i have(mirena) lasts for 5 yrs. unless you have it taken out sooner.

i believe generally speaking its suppose to clear it up or not affect it. a few years ago my dermatologist suggested i go on the pill to cure my acne... i had a bad reaction to that particular pill (nasusea...etc) so i discontinued using it and didn't even bother looking for one thats better.

i don't remember what kind it was (very low estrogen)but it caused me to break out on my chin and arms until i stopped taking it. the iud i have has a little of the same hormone in it and it does it too just not as bad.

I'm on Ortho cyclen and it seems to keep my skin pretty good. I don't get any cystic pimples like my mom use to. I think acne runs in the family, unfortunately.

heh, I'm only on BC for a short stint to regulate my cycles. They've been shortening and getting erratic so my gyn gave me three months worth to see if that'll straighten it out for awhile. My husband and I are trying to conceive. :icon_chee

Testing and Assessment Services
All students must have picture ID with them to take any test.
The College Testing and Assessment Services provides test administration at no charge for both online courses and on-campus classes as requested by Edmonds Community College instructors. Instructors supply test materials and detailed instructions about test length and the availability of test aids.
We provide a secure environment with 24/7 surveillance cameras for testing, monitoring of all testing, and secure storage of tests.
Students taking tests (written or computer-based) from other colleges will be charged a fee of $25 fee for the first hour of use and an additional $15 for each additional hour.
Students do not need to make an appointment to take their proctored exams. However, they do need to email firstname.lastname@example.com ahead of time to ensure that we have received their test from their school.
If students are taking a proctored exam that allows aides such as a calculator or scantron, notes, this is the student's responsibility.
Testing and Assessment Services cannot proctor any test that requires specific software or audio equipment. This includes, but is not limited to, Excel®, Office®, Word, CDs, or headphones.
