Sample Data:
PVC, one of top five thermoplastic synthetic resins, is next to the mostly used polyvinyl resin in the world. It takes up 29% of the total sales of synthetic resins in the world. PVC is easily processed through die stamping, lamination, injection molding, extrusion molding, rolling, and hollow blowing. It is mainly used to manufacture soft plastic products such as artificial leather, thin film, electric wire jacket or hard plastic products such as slab materials, windows and doors, pipeline and valves. In 1999, China consumed a total of 3,670,000 tons of PVC resin. In the following several years, the need for PVC will keep growing by the rate 6.0% as drawn by downstream demand. By the year 2005, the demand for PVC will attain 5,400,000 tons. Soft PVC products in China include film, cable jacket, plastic shoes and synthetic leather products, while hard PVC products mainly indicate abnormal shaped pipelines and slab materials. The soft and hard PVC products in China maintain an approximate average proportion of 70: 30. The proportion of hard PVC products have been on steady growth in recent years, with its proportion at 30.0% for 1996; about 35% for 1997 and up to about 40% by the year 1999. The demand for PVC in China is rocketing and domestic output can not meet the requirement, which leads to considerable increase in import. From 1995 to 1999, the annual import of PVC maintained a surprising average growth by 134%, with the biggest increase among the top five common synthetic resins. For the imported PVC, pure PVC resin occupies the largest share by about 73%; non-plasticized PVC takes up 24%; and plasticized PVC takes up 3%. PVC market in China still has much room for development. Downstream plastic processing is also enjoying a rapid growth. Especially for highly value-added products, the demand of PVC grows by as much as 10%, while PVC products currently produced in China can not meet the need of downstream processing industry and most highly value-added products rely on import. If foreign investors can make use of the broad market in China and its rich human resources to lower labor cost and establish some PVC equipment with high technical content, good benefits will certainly be available.

A specially formulated PUR outer jacket prevents the Nanoflex Series of hygienic control power and data cables from micro-organism growth. The outer jacket is hydrolysis and detergent resistant, letting it withstand the harsh cleaning processes used to sterilize equipment, which over time degrade cable performance.
The unshielded Nanoflex HC 500 is a flexible control power cable that supplies machinery with up to 600 V. Its shielded variant, the HC 500-C, is wrapped in a tinned-copper wire braid (85% coverage) that prevents signal interference or "cross talk," and can be used to ground the cable when connected to a metallic cord grip. Both cables safely operate in temperatures ranging from –40 to 80°C (application specific) and are available in sizes ranging from 20 to 12 AWG with various conductor configurations.
The unshielded, flexible Nanoflex HC TRONIC data cable provides uniform signal transmission from the control panel to the machine in sterile environments. The HC TRONIC-C cable is shielded with a tinned-copper wire braid to prevent signal interruption (85% coverage) during applications that produce large amounts of EMI. Both cables are rated for temperatures from –40 to 80°C (application specific) and come in sizes ranging from 26 to 18 AWG with various conductor configurations.
The entire line is UV, oxygen, ozone and radiation resistant up to 110 Mrad.

4 Years Ago...
My heart is pounding as we race down the winding roads. September rolls down her window and sticks her hand out, playing with the wind. Her hair flies all over her face, but she doesn't try to tame it. I think she actually likes it out of control. I do too. It suits her the best.
"You're a bad influence on me," I tell her.
"This was all your idea!" She puts her feet up on the dash, looking more relaxed than she should in a stolen car.
"Yeah, but I'm doing this for you."
She looks over at me, but I keep my eyes on the road. I feel her watching, but I steer us down the gravel road to the quarry. I park near the edge and shut the car off by disconnecting the wires. Pulling out my phone, I send a text Bennett telling him where to come get us.
"Why are you doing this for me?" she asks as we sit in the silence.
"It's not for you."
"You hate me."
"But you're mine to torment."
September laughs and gets out of the car, slamming the door shut behind her.
"Pissed you off already?" I call as I get out. "Get back here, September. You can't walk the woods alone."
"You don't get to tell me what to do. I'm not sticking around just for your amusement."
"Come back." She stops walking but doesn't turn around. I can barely see her outline in the dark. "I'll be nice."
Now she spins around and marches back to me. I lean against the car as she closes in, coming so close only inches separate us.
"Why can't you admit that you are doing something nice for me? Why do you always have to act like you don't like me?"
"I don't like you." Even as I say the words, my hands find her hips.
"No? I don't believe that."
"You should." I pull her flush against my body. "Because I really hate you."
She leans into me, and I can't help but watch as her red lips spread into a smile. She's toying with me.
"What do you hate about me?" she whispers.
"Everything. You're nothing but trouble. You walk around in your torn tights and leather jackets. Your red hair and freckles. Your voice."
September nods as I tick of the items. I can feel her heart beat against my chest, and I run my hands around to her lower back, pulling her tighter against me.
"Is that true?" Her voice is barely heard, but I watch her lips say the words.
"Every word."
September tilts her head up and leans forward. Her lips brush my ear. "Next time you want to say you hate me, try saying it without poking your hard dick into my stomach."
She pulls out of my hold just as headlights flash over us. A truck pulls up, blinding me from watching her walk away.

ORLANDO, FL --The Florida mother charged with killing her toddler daughter has pleaded guilty to check fraud charges. Casey Anthony pleaded guilty Monday to 13 counts of check fraud.
Circuit Judge Stan Strickland sentenced Anthony to time served in jail, as well as probation if she is ever released. She remains jailed on a charge of first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
Anthony has pleaded not guilty in the slaying. She says a baby sitter kidnapped Caylee, whose body was found near the Anthonys' Orlando home after a months-long search.
Prosecutors had asked for five years in prison for the check fraud charges.
They are seeking the death penalty in Caylee's slaying.

Pellegrini: Silva and Kompany Could Be Fit for Derby DaySeptember 13, 2013
Manuel Pellegrini has revealed that David Silva and Vincent Kompany are both out of City's match at Stoke on Saturday but hinted the pair could be available for selection in next weekend's derby against Manchester United.
"We will see about Silva next week," Pellegrini told reporters gathered at City's Carrington training complex.
"We will try for the derby—if he's 100 per cent he can play in that game."
"Vincent Kompany is OK, but it's too much of a risk for him to play [against Stoke]," he continued. "Two or three more days he will be 100 per cent."
It's a huge boost for City, who had expected Kompany to be missing for longer.
The Stoke fixture is the first of seven matches in 21 days for City, and Pellegrini knows it's a big test for his squad.
"I think it is a big test for all the big clubs who are playing the Champions League or the Europa League," he said.
"We have seven games in 21 days before the international break in October. That is why we have the squad with 22 players because we have an important amount of games. We will try to do our best performance in each.
"I think for me and the team and the club the pressure must always be the highest pressure to have good performances in every tournament we play, Premier League, Champions League, Capital One (League Cup), for me is always the same. The pressure is positive."
When asked about Joe Hart's clean sheets for England, Pellegrini was positive about the form of his keeper and reiterated his belief in his ability.
"It is very important for him to have a clean sheet in the last three games he played, two in the national squad and the game here against Hull," said Pellegrini.
"It is always important for a goalkeeper, but I never had doubts about Joe Hart."
Many observers feel Alvaro Negredo's impact as a substitute this season means he deserves a starting place. Negredo came off the bench to score against Cardiff and Hull in City's last two matches, as well as scoring for Spain against Finland last week. However, Pellegrini believes all his strikers have an important role to play.
"Alvaro Negredo is always a very important option. Edin Dzeko is exactly the same. We have to play seven games in 21 days, so the most important thing is not the 11 that start, but the performance of each player in every game," said Pellegrini.
"All the players we have, if they give a high performance, have the option to play. During the games we play we will see which the best 11 to start is. There are a lot of things, physical, technical."
City play Stoke at the Britannia Stadium Saturday, 3 p.m. BST.

Plenty of museums are celebrating International Museum Day on May 18 with free admission and/or other special offers. Check out these ideas for exploring and supporting museums with your family and friends…
Visit children's museums with your family. Arizona options include the Arizona Museum for Youth, Children's Museum of Phoenix and Tucson Children's Museum.
Plan a family vacation to a museum-rich region. Treat your kids to a weekend exploring museums in Prescott, Tucson or Phoenix. Head to museums in other parts of the country — Chicago, New York, San Francisco or Washington, D.C. Or enjoy time together in Florence, Paris or London.
Introduce your kids to museum-sponsored events. Tell your teens about this weekend's "Teen Night Out" at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. Take your children to see exhibits featuring works by youth, like "Visions" at SMoCA's young@art gallery.
Make a donation to your favorite museum. Even small gifts are welcome because they add up to big results for museum goers as donations make new programs, events and exhibits possible.
Write letters in support of local museums. Send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper in praise of museums, or to a local legislator who supports museums and other homes for Arizona arts and culture.
Shop for gifts, games and more at your local museum. Visit the Musical Instrument Museum for child-friendly instruments, the Heard Museum for artwork by American Indian artists or the Arizona Science Center for hands-on activities.
Sign up to get museum e-newsletters. Request e-alerts from your favorite museums so you'll be the first to know about new programs, family-friendly events, special exhibits and more.
Take friends to see a museum film screening. Catch "Gerard Richter Painting" (May 30) at the Tucson Museum of Art or "Between the Folds" (June 2, featuring ten paper artists) at the Phoenix Art Museum.
Enroll your kids in museum classes or summer camps. Check out offerings at the Arizona Museum of Natural History, Shemer Art Center and Museum and other museums.
See an arts-related musical or play. Take older teens or friends to see Arizona Theatre Company's production of "Red" (a John Logan play exploring Mark Rothko's work) at the Herberger Theater Center.
Read books about great artists and museums. Pick up a couple of art books at your local museum shop or head to the library for titles about artists exhibited in the world's famous museums and galleries.
Explore museum galleries online. Spend some time enjoying Google Art, or visiting online exhibitions from local and international museums so your children can see works by diverse artists.
Get a culture pass from your local library. Head to participating libraries to snag passes for free admission, and watch for museums offering free/discounted admission as part of International Museum Day.
Invite friends to dine at a local museum cafe. Enjoy lunch at the Phoenix Art Museum's Palette, the MIM Cafe, the Heard Museum North Cafe or another museum restaurant.
Sign up to volunteer with a local museum. Train to be a docent, help with kids' art classes or greet museum visitors.
Help your child's teacher arrange a museum field trip. Suggest a few of your favorite museums for class field trips, and offer to help with legwork or actual field trip planning.
Learn more about Arizona museums from the Central Arizona Museum Association and the Arizona Museum Association. Click here explore Blue Star Museums, a national program that provides free summer admission to participating museums for active duty military personnel and their families.

I hope CalPERS staff are looking for the kind of investments in basic value that such investors are likely attuned to. My father, who did reasonably well with his investments, advocated buying stock in companies that made things people needed and wanted.
From an investment perspective, rates of return on investment in production of needs are low, because such industries are usually old and stable. On the other hand, rates of return on investment in production of wants tend to be higher, because of the growth in sales often seen with new toys and also the risk that this growth is likely to be unrealized or temporary.
But it should be obvious that any economy without businesses that are old and stable and producing basic needs at affordable prices - clean air and water, healthy food, and snug shelter - cannot be a healthy economy. And without a healthy economy, no pension fund can succeed in paying benefits without recourse to the taxpayers.

Obama was spotted leaving the White House yesterday with Sasha and her friends as they boarded Marine One en route to New York City. Malia is already in NYC for her super cool summer internship. She has been working behind-the-scenes on Lena Dunham's "Girls" series for HBO.
First Lady Michelle Obama decided to stay at the White House while the girls spend some time with their dad.

A Charleston landmark destroyed by vandals is back.
One of two leopard statues that guarded the entrance to the People's Building on Broad Street has been re-created and replaced.
The crouching animal was knocked over and smashed on the sidewalk in June 2011.
Steve Peck, president of Community Management Group, which is in charge of the building at 18 Broad St., said that after the incident there was brief hope that the culprit might return the head and shoulders that were taken away.
As time passed and that didn't happen, the building's tenants decided to pitch in and create another one.
With the help of College of Charleston art student Kevin McLean, a rubber mold was made of the surviving leopard and the missing cat was duplicated. One change was that the ears were made more pronounced with clay, said McLean, who graduated with a degree in sculpture and is now a finisher with the light fixture business Urban Electric Co.
The new leopard was cast with crushed marble dust with a cement binder to keep it together.
McLean conceded that until the leopard project came around, he had done "nothing on that scale," in terms of the big cat's size. "It was a lot more time and effort than I thought would be required."
To stave off any future problems, the second guardian leopard (which wasn't damaged in 2011) was also replaced with a new model. The original was moved inside for protection.
It took a forklift and hoist to get both statues into place, as each weighs between 350 and 400 pounds. The cost to replicate the figures wasn't released. The pair was put back in view a few weeks ago.
The original leopards have a long history in the city. After the building was purchased by the Southeastern Securities Co. in the 1930s, company President Charles L. Mullaly opted to install the marble leopards outside the main entrance. They were made of Italian marble by an unknown 18th-century artist, according to CMG's website, and were brought to Charleston from an estate near Boston.
Both had been in place since 1957.

What do you get when you start with might just be the greatest bike ever made (that would be the All-City Macho Man Disc) and you add some slick white fenders?
Eventually you get big bag of Awesome wrapped and a bag made from baby unicorns!
Did you catch it. "Eventually" I'll get to that but first lets get to the data, since I'm all about the Data.
bought the Planet Bike Cascadia Fenders in White from Thick Bikes for 50.99 (Minus my Bike Pittsburgh discount ) I got the fenders as well as instructions and all the mounting hardware I would need. I figured it would be a breeze.
I had two issues while putting the front fender on. First the geometry of the Macho Man meant when I got the fender on and adjusted the metal support posts where so long as to need an inch cut off of each to keep them from hitting the frame.
The Posts after I removed about 1 1/4" off of each. Of all the tools I thought I would need to install a fender on my bike, a hack saw wasn't on that list. I will say that as difficult as the posts were to cut I got give it to them for quality. The other item that I found annoying was the Disc brake on the front tire was / is in the way of the support posts and I had to work around it. It worked fine so I'm happy but I did have to try it several times to get it right
The rear fender went on without much fuss and I have to just say this again "DAMN THAT'S SEXY!!!" There is one thing I am currently wondering about. With the front fender I wont to see where the J-bar from the bike racks on our buses end up. A fender is no good if it means I can't put my bike on the bus. If it is a problem I am pretty sure I can figure something out.
It took about an hour for me to put the Fenders on the bike, and if I had to do it again I might make it simple on myself and take the Bike to Thick and get the fenders put on. Right now I'm pretty sure I have the fenders on right but I would of let them do I would be Completely Sure the fenders are on right.

Zero Motorcycles Releases First Ever Motorcycle iPhone and Android Apps
– New Mobile Application Allows Riders to Customize Motorcycle Performance –
LONDON, (25th February 2013) – Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in the electric motorcycle industry, today announced the release of its highly anticipated mobile application for Apple iOS and Android devices. The "Zero Motorcycles" app is the world's first mobile application with the ability to control the performance characteristics of a production motorcycle. Connected via Bluetooth, the motorcycle pushes live, or archived, information from the motorcycle to the app on the rider's mobile device. Featuring two basic modes, the app displays either a customizable riding dashboard or statistical data about the motorcycle. Riders can customize the riding dashboard with options such as percentage state of charge, torque, drivetrain component temperatures, battery amps and more. When parked, owners can view a lifetime of information about the motorcycle and have access to compelling statistics such as how much gas money they have saved.
"The Zero Motorcycles app marks the first time in history that a production motorcycle's top speed, torque and regenerative braking can be easily adjusted by an owner in seconds. Not only is it fun, it also results in a riding experience that is truly customized to meet the unique needs of every individual," said Scot Harden, Vice President of Marketing for Zero Motorcycles. "We encourage interested fans to download the app, play with it in Demo Mode and then schedule a test ride with their local dealer so that they can truly appreciate the Zero Motorcycles experience."
Once paired to a motorcycle, owners can begin customizing settings and feeling good about a host of compelling economical and ecological reasons to ride electric every day. Among the customizable settings are fields to enter the owner's cost of electricity, cost of a gallon of petrol and the miles per gallon of their alternative vehicle. To bring a little extra joy to every ride, the app uses this information to calculate statistics, such as how much money has been saved on petrol, the unbelievably low cost of energy consumed per mile and how much CO2 has been prevented from being released into the atmosphere.
The entire 2013 Zero Motorcycles lineup features the ability to connect to each motorcycle's cutting edge Z-Force™ powertrain. Seamlessly integrated into the powertrain, the app also allows owners to send their motorcycle's diagnostic reports to a technician so that it can be quickly and easily reviewed. A fantastic deal for owners, there is no additional cost for any of this functionality and the Zero Motorcycles app is free. More information, a user guide and answers to frequently asked questions are available on the Zero Motorcycles mobile app webpage. The app can be downloaded at:

But every once in a while, you find a game whose initial look is indeed deceiving.
"Pipezania" is a fun little surprise. It's a simple set-up; you're presented with an inflow point, an outflow point and a number of segments of pipe. There are straight lines and elbows and the like; your goal is to create an uninterrupted path from inflow to outflow. In addition, there are a number of gems that your flow needs to pick up along the way in order for you to fully succeed.
Again – sounds easy. However, it soon becomes clear that the path of least resistance is not always the right one. In fact, it's rarely the right one – you're far better served by tracing Rube Goldberg-ian pipeways hither and yon all over the screen. The more complicated, the better. The difficulty ratchets up fairly quickly, but once you get the hang of it, even the tough ones won't take you more than a few minutes and a couple of attempts.
"Pipezania" is an ideal time waster, a game that can kill a few minutes or much longer, depending on how long you want to go with the flow. Play for free at kongregate.com.

COLBERT COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) - One of the largest employers in the Shoals area celebrated a milestone Thursday morning, SCA Tissue commemorated their ten year anniversary in operation at the Barton Riverfront Industrial Park.
Economic development leaders in the Shoals marked the celebration as their first big victory in the industrial recruitment battle.
Under a packed tent outside SCA Tissue, dignitaries state wide came to celebrate the milestone in Shoals manufacturing.
In early 2000, industrial recruiters started the process of attracting corporate leaders of SCA to an undeveloped property in Colbert County.
Three years later, the first case of paper rolled off the line.
"This was not the last one, this was the first one. You can see next door is another big facility. We saw people like Wise and Tarkett and others growing, it`s really given us a lot of confidence to become a will do community," stated Forrest Wright, Director of the Shoals Economic Development Authority.
Wright said SCA opened the door for communities in the Shoals to work together, for the betterment of everyone in the area.
"With more than five hundred people working here, that`s five hundred checks going to the bank. Five hundred people going to the store. With vendors coming in and out, and it`s a company that will continue to grow," explained Wright.
Since deciding to come to the Shoals, SCA Tissue has invested over half a billion dollars in the Barton facility.
As part of the celebration this morning, SCA donated $10-thousand to the Colbert County FAME Girls Ranch of the Alabama Sheriff`s Youth Ranch System.
SCA produces 185-thousand tons of tissue each year at the Barton plant.

Hello, dear friends!
Hope you enjoy summer holidays right now as much as I do! Maybe you even are lucky enough to spend some time overseas! For me the sea-side is always so inspiring! I love the palette of Mediterranean cafes, those shades of blue with some accents in red, and of course a lot of white! Today I used this inspiration to create a gift set of a chocolate and a small jewelry box. Beautiful new summer collection of Scrapiniec's chipboard "Fern" perfectly suits this paper. It's so delicate yet exuding ! Lots of beautiful flowers complemented by enchanted fern leaves look so very fresh and unique!
Hope you'll enjoy my creation!
List of materials:
Have a wonderful summer time!
Hugs, Olga (paperovedyvo.blogspot.com)

"Instrumental music tends not to charm children, unless an ice cream truck is playing the tune. And a classical piece like Beethoven's Fifth Symphony? Not a good bet.
But what if that work had words?"
But what if that work had words?"
— Laurel Graeber, New York Times
"Classical music was never supposed to be this much fun. Was it?"
— Lori Sears, The Baltimore Sun
"Parents report that their kids love to sing along. And the best part? They don't know they're learning a little bit about the wider world of classical music — or they're having too much fun to care."
— Renee Montagne, NPR
"Forget the kids... Beethoven's Wig Sing Along Piano Classics is for anyone with a sense of humor. "
— Bob Etier, Technorati
"What would Beethoven think?"
— Billy Heller, New York Post
"As a music educator and parent concerned about our children's musical diet... I highly recommend that parents expose their children to the fabulous efforts of Perlmutter and his Beethoven's Wig series."
— Fred Koch, Chicago Parent
"Once you've heard how very big Beethoven's wig is, it'll be hard to hear the original again without the words running through your head."
— Chris J. Parker, Los Angeles Daily News
"His songs are funny, but Perlmutter is not just a highbrow "Weird Al" Yankovic. The lyrics are hummable mnemonics, each imparting information about the work or its composer."
— Nicole Arthur, The Washington Post
"...wickedly ingenious lyricist Richard Perlmutter, whose classical music children's album, "Beethoven's Wig: Sing-Along Symphonies," has become a surprise hit."
— Lynne Heffley, Los Angeles Times
"The crowd sang, giggled and clapped along throughout the show, and when Perlmutter invited the audience to stand up and do the can-can with him, they obliged."
— Jaci Webb, Billings Gazette
"Bravo! This is the album that every 11-year-old wannabe opera singer coulda/shoulda recorded."
— Yvette Cadeaux, Pulse! Magazine
"Inspired and wildly imaginative, Beethoven's Wig is one of the best introductions to classical music you could give to your children."
— Martin Keller, Amazon.com

Little Red Schoolhouse Photos!
My girls are lucky enough to go to Little Red Schoolhouse and I felt privileged to be asked to do school photos for Jessica and the kids! This was my first time doing shots like this and truth be told, I was a bit nervous. How could I control that many little children? And how the heck could I do all the photos and not have it take most of the day?!?
But it was easy! Not because of anything I did, but because Jessica is so amazing with the kids. Her husband, Thomas, also made it immensely easier by helping me do some of the other important things like getting waivers signed, handing out information and more... And I never could have done it all without their help!
I had a blast doing it and hopefully everyone enjoys the resulting photos!
The groups photos were interesting. The poor seeds just dissolved into tears - even Sammie, my youngest, and she's used to this kind of thing! All the other group photos went well, though, with only a minor amount of photoshopping necessary.
And a few of the parents stayed so that I could shoot photos of their kiddos for individual shots. If I'm asked to do this again, I'll definitely build in more time to make this easier to do!!
I also learned how to create small packages that can be cut out for smaller photos. This allowed me to lower my prices just for this shoot while giving people more choices! I'd love to get feedback from parents that order these packages....
Finally, a small slideshow with these photos and many more!
Thanks again, Jessica, for asking me to help you out!

Project: Alpha Three is a mod based on UClassic,which offers a free world,you can go everyhwere. The player is able to do and move everywhere and he can decide about whatever he wanna do. It is worth to explore dangerous places to get new items.You get orders by Nalis and Marines and the story goes on. You are a soldier,whose ship was shot down by the Skaarj and landed on the planet Alpha Three. However,he's not alone.Many others Marines fighting everyday for their life. The Skaarj warrior wanna get this planet,doesn't matter what it takes.
The amount of bug breaks the game and could quite easily make it unplayable. Spawn errors and the too common load freeze keep this from being a good mod, which is a shame since at its core it is possibly one of the greatest single player mods for Unreal Tournament 2004 or any Unreal I've ever seen. Were the bugs fixed this mod could potentially be better than any single player mod to date.

The actress who, as Ellen Ripley in the Alien movie, famously told one of the space monsters, "Get away from her, you bitch," will be the featured speaker at the Space Technology Hall of Fame® dinner on April 11 during the 29th National Space Symposium at The Broadmoor.
We're not sure what qualifies Sigourney Weaver to speak to a bunch of techno-space experts, but she's slated to help honor extraordinary technologies originally developed for space that now improve life on Earth. The 2013 recipients will be named early next year.
Maybe Weaver could demonstrate that robotic suit she steps into to have the final clash with the Alien monster. Oh wait, that's a Hollywood development, not a NASA invention.
She's not the only one who's spoken at the Space Symposium based on fictional space abilities. Leonard Nimoy, who portrayed Mr. Spock in the Star Trek series, is a past speaker.
From a press release issued today by the symposium's sponsor, the Springs-based Space Foundation:
About Weaver
Academy Award nominated and Golden Globe winning actor Sigourney Weaver has created a host of memorable characters, both dramatic and comic, in films ranging from Ripley in Alien to Dian Fossey in Gorillas in Mist. Born and educated in New York City, Weaver graduated from Stanford University and received a master's degree from the Yale School of Drama.
Weaver made her motion picture debut in Ridley Scott's blockbuster Alien. She later reprised the role of Warrant Officer Ripley in James Cameron's Aliens, which earned her Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for best actress. She brought Ripley back to life in David Fincher's Aliens 3, which she also co-produced, and Alien Resurrection for director Jean-Pierre Jeunet.
Weaver received a Tony Award nomination for her starring role in Hurlyburly on Broadway, directed by Mike Nichols. For her television work, Weaver received Emmy, Screen Actors' Guild and Golden Globe nominations for outstanding performance by a female for her role as Mary Griffith in Lifetime's Prayers for Bobby, which was also Emmy and Golden Globe nominated for Outstanding Made for Television Movie. She also appeared in the PBS mini-series The Best of Families.
Space Technology Hall of Fame® Celebrates 25 Years
Since 1988, the Space Technology Hall of Fame® has honored those who transform technology originally developed for space exploration into products and services that help improve the quality of life here on Earth. Dozens of technologies and hundreds of individuals and organizations have since been recognized.
Visit www.SpaceTechHallofFame.org for more details.
About the Space Symposium
The Space Symposium will be held April 8 -11 and offers presentations and panels covering all aspects of space, plus special events and presentation of several prestigious space-related awards. Returning for 2013 will be the New Generation Space Leaders programs for young, up-and-coming space professionals, age 35 and younger.
The Space Symposium is offered in conjunction with Cyber 1.3, which examines the evolution of cyberspace. Separate registration is required for Cyber 1.3 and secure online registration for both is available online at www.NationalSpaceSymposium.org. For 2013, active military and government attendees will receive discounted 2010 rates, and industry attendees can save money by registering before Jan. 11.

When we started we were brave,
or silly, and amongst the only ones.
Now we share the valley with many others.
It's what this place was for. It's our house
our exciting crowded house.
There is something very special about Marlborough. We are yet to visit a more ideally located wine region and a climate more suited to high quality cool-climate viticulture. Its high sunshine hours, crisp clean air, low summer rainfall and virgin soils make for consistently high quality wines. Having followed and now lived with Marlborough's progression over the last 15 years, we continue to be fascinated by the diversity of styles of wine that this region can produce, the sub-regional variation and excited by what may evolve in the future as the region matures.
And then of course there's the outdoor lifestyle…from the snow-capped mountains and alpine lakes in one direction, to rugged coastlines and stunning tramping through native bush the other. We can still remember flying into Marlborough for the first time in 2005, over the labyrinth of finger-like outcrops and deep turquoise water that are the drowned valleys of the stunning Marlborough Sounds, and into the crisp air that awaited me on the ground. It is something that still gives me goosebumps every time we fly in today.
Our philosophy is simple - source outstanding fruit from exceptional vineyard sites. We believe the most critical decision in winemaking is deciding when to pick. Once harvested, our role is to simply steer the fruit in the right direction in order to best express the vibrant fruit flavours that Marlborough is renowned for while respecting the subtle differences of each site.
Our aspiration at Crowded House is to produce wines that capture the very essence of Marlborough, with vibrant and fresh aromatics, powerful fruit concentration and a refreshing, cleansing acid finish. These wines are about fruit purity, and our aim is for them to be equally enjoyable to drink by themselves amongst friends, as they are paired with a variety of foods.
A drought summer for Marlborough this season resulted in low crops and fruit with an excellent concentration of flavour. With harvest late March and early April, across vineyards in the Wairau Valley and Southern Valley subregions of Marlbourogh.
The resulting 2016 Sauvignon Blanc is quintessentially Marlborough in profile with bright aromas of guava, citrus fruits, black currant and sweet crushed herbs. The palate is elegantly proportioned with lovely soft acid carrying the fruit flavours to a long, pure finish. Enjoy with fresh seafood, summer salads and Asian cuisine.
The 2015/16 growing season was warm and dry, enabling Pinot Gris to be picked with pristine fl avours at relatively low sugar levels. This has ensured that the wine maintains a lightness and freshness while at the same time offering palate weight and texture thanks to the variety's inherent richness. Aromatic notes of quince, pear and apricot blossom jump from the glass and lead to an elegant, focussed palate with a lovely pure line and fl avour persistence,finishing dry and cleansing.
The grapes for the 2015 Pinot Noir were harvested from 5 different vineyards across the Marlborough. Selecting the best grapes from the Southern Valleys (57%), Wairau Valley (41%) and Awatere Valley (2%). The fruit was fermented in open top vessels that were plunged twice a day. Fermentation occurred naturally following a 3 day cold soak with extended maceration on skins post fermentation. All the parcels of juice were run to French Oak barriques and matured prior to bottling in March 2016.
The result is a medium bodied Pinot Noir, the palate is silken and seductive with cherry and raspberry flavours to the fore, and undertones of savoury dried spices and earth. Gentle tannins and a fine acid framework ensure these flavours persist on the palate. A great match with classic Italian pizza or meaty pasta dishes, but also pairs well with more serious Spring lamb and duck featured meals.

J.J. Abrams's New Megacompany Could Allow Him to Overturn Hollywood's Rules
His existing studio deals say he owns any content he makes under ten minutes: Hello, mobisodes!
Yesterday saw the announcement of an enormous new company that has J.J. Abrams teaming up with his former WME agent John Fogelman, just as we'd predicted back in June. Their new company, FactoryMade Ventures, is a "hybrid entertainment, media business development and consulting firm," according to the press release, that will develop projects by Abrams, Michael Bay, Robert Rodriguez and reality TV producer Thom Beers (The Deadliest Catch, Ice Road Truckers) for "digital and mobile platforms" and for "cable and network television both domestically and in emerging markets." In other words, it's an endeavor that has one eye toward the obsolescence of traditional media models.
We're told by insiders familiar with Abrams' and Fogelman's plans that FactoryMade is actually the second part of a plan that was hatched some years ago, when Abrams' TV and studio deals (with Warner Bros. Television and Paramount Pictures, respectively) were first negotiated: Specific provisions were written in that allow Abrams to retain ownership of all content - so long as that content was under 10 minutes. And with this company, Abrams could circumvent those ownership rights by first launching new ideas through web series or mobisodes; If they prove popular and Paramount or Warner Bros. want to then turn them into a movie or TV series, then Abrams can do so. But unlike projects like Super 8 or Lost, this time he'll own all the rights to the content, and the studios will act purely as distributors.
And the eyes of FactoryMade are seeing far beyond North America's borders: The release mentions that the company will be developing content in such markets as "Brazil, Peru, and Colombia." Columbia? Peru? Why are some of Hollywood's top machers suddenly so interested in Machu Picchu? The new venture is being backed in large part by Telefonica, the third largest mobile phone company in the world, and the dominant provider in Latin and South America. Like much of the developing world, Peru has largely skipped over land lines straight to mobile. More than three out of four Brazilians, Peruvians and Colombians live in cities and use a mobile phone to get their communication, and soon, their entertainment. And while North America represents 10 percent of the world's population, South America has 13.2 percent — and it's growing more urban every year. With Telefonica, FactoryMade could reach that population directly, especially with a Spanish-language director like Rodriguez.
With backers like Telefonica, Intel, and RTL (Europe's largest TV and radio production company), Abrams and his pals have many ways to skip the traditional "Mother may I" development grind of Hollywood. But to be clear, they're not going to be staging a coup d'etat. First off, while Adult Swim has made its name with ten-minute shows, Abrams' series have always been sold on their dense mythologies; it's hard to imagine Lost being developed online in ten-minute chunks in any way that would hint at its potential as an hour-long series. And in any event, Abrams and Co. will need to tread carefully politically; they'll need to deal with their current TV and movie partners in a way that is straight up and transparent, or they'll risk alienating the very media companies that made them such exportable commodities in the first place.

On a day when tempers flared, Rafael Nadal was the master of his moods. He escaped the shackles of anxiety that had gripped him earlier in the week – when he struggled in the first two rounds then ranted about rain-ravaged scheduling that forced him to play two days in a row – and he remains on track for his eighth French Open title.
However, the man he beat to win his seventh championship last year, Novak Djokovic, must now be a slight favourite. In the most anticipated match of the third round on Saturday, the world No1 had his third easy win, over Grigor Dimitrov, who beat him in Madrid a month ago. The rematch was as anticlimactic as it was disappointing, as the young Bulgarian's freely hit ground strokes too often were overcooked. The only slight concern for Djokovic was a twinge in his right shoulder, for which he sought courtside attention at 4-3 in the third set before closing it out 6-2, 6-2, 6-3.
Earlier, it looked as if the weather might force more delays but the heavily pregnant clouds drifted harmlessly by Court Philippe Chatrier and, after two hours and 45 minutes of exquisite entertainment, Nadal bade farewell to the temperamental Italian Fabio Fognini. Nadal won 7-6, 6-4, 6-4, a sound workout before the more serious work to be done in the second week, where he will be dangerous, not just wounded. "This is the most special tournament for me, and it makes me very emotional," he said. "But, to have any chance, I really need to play better."
After another nervy start, he brought urgency to his tennis that was disciplined, not driven by nagging impatience, as it had been when he gave up a set apiece in his first two matches. What sulking there was came from Fognini — amid a lot of laughing and smiling, it has to be said. He pleased the gathering with some beautiful, inventive tennis, although he could not match his opponent for steel under pressure.
There is a difference between saying Fognini can play tennis as well as Nadal and saying he is his equal as a tennis player because, when it came down to it, the Spanish master found more ways to extricate himself from trouble.
Fognini led 4-2 and served for the first set after 55 minutes but Nadal broke back to 15 to force the tie-break. There, an ill-judged charge at the net and a lazy backhand cost Fognini dearly before Nadal drew him into a delicious trap, forcing a desperate lunge that went wide, for the set.
The second set was a joy, every bit as good to watch as were Gaël Monfils and Ernests Gulbis on Thursday. Both of them are gone now. As is Fognini, who only briefly resisted Nadal in the third set, although he left behind many good memories. Nadal is still standing, still smiling – and his suspect knee, 44 matches into his comeback since February, looks to be in working order.
Next up for him is Kei Nishikori, who earlier witnessed the excitable and gifted Benoît Paire across the net struggling in vain to cool his temperament and his ragged game. On his way to going out in four sets, Paire spent five minutes arguing with the chair umpire after being penalised a point in the second-set tie-break for seeking coaching assistance, which followed a spot of racket-bashing in the first.
Paire, a classic French stylist who gave Roger Federer a good game in Rome last week, said he felt the pressure of expectation but he was unrepentant about the incident that turned the match. "I didn't feel good," he said. "I didn't move good. I think that the chair umpire wanted a promotion because, at 5-4 to me on set point, to get a warning for coaching, it's unbelievable. If Nadal or some good player did the same thing, for sure he would not get a warning."
On Court 7, the eighth seed, Janko Tipsarevic, swore at fans who were taunting him, forcing the intervention of the umpire, Jake Garner. But the Serb would not be soothed as the Russian Mikhail Youzhny ground out a 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 win. "I just snapped," he said. "There's no excuse for my reaction, but one of the guys kept provoking me, screaming, 'Come on, Youzhny', before I tossed my balls, and I don't even think he knew who Youzhny was. I spoke to the referee and he had them removed. That's the whole story."
Youzhny now plays Tommy Haas, at 35 the oldest player left in the tournament. The German wore down "Long John" Isner in four hours 37 minutes in the Bull Ring, the American blowing one match point and saving 12 before Haas won 7-5, 7-6, 4-6, 6-7, 10-8.
One player who came through the third round without rancour was the quietly elegant Richard Gasquet, who beat the sometimes turbulent Nikolay Davydenko 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. Stanislas Wawrinka is through, too, looking good against Polish prospect Jerzy Janowicz.
