Affirmation of interim rule as final rule.
We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the Karnal bunt regulations by adding Archer and Baylor Counties in Texas to the list of regulated areas. The interim rule, which followed the detection of bunted kernels in samples taken from bins of wheat grain stored in Baylor County and harvested in Archer and Baylor Counties, was necessary to prevent the spread of Karnal bunt to noninfected areas of the United States.
This interim rule became effective July 13, 2001.Start Further Info
Mr. Robert G. Spaide, Director for Surveillance and Emergency Programs Planning and Coordination, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 98, Riverdale, MD 20737-1231; (301) 734-7819.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
In an interim rule effective July 13, 2001, and published in the Federal Register on July 19, 2001 (66 FR 37575-37576, Docket No. 01-063-1), we amended the Karnal bunt regulations in 7 CFR 301.89-3 by adding Archer and Baylor Counties, in their entirety, to the list of regulated areas in Texas. This action was necessary due to the detection of bunted wheat kernels in samples taken from bins of wheat grain stored in Baylor County. The wheat grain was harvested in Archer and Baylor Counties.
Comments on the interim rule were required to be received on or before September 17, 2001. We did not receive any comments. Therefore, for the reasons given in the interim rule, we are adopting the interim rule as a final rule.
This action also affirms the information contained in the interim rule concerning Executive Orders 12866, 12372, and 12988 and the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Further, for this action, the Office of Management and Budget has waived the review process required by Executive Order 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rule affirms an interim rule that amended the Karnal bunt regulations by adding Archer and Baylor Counties, TX, to the list of regulated areas. As a result of that action, the interstate movement of regulated articles from those areas is restricted.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires that agencies consider the economic effects of their rules on small businesses, organizations, and governmental jurisdictions. The entities most likely to have been affected by the interim rule are wheat producers. The size of these entities is unknown. It is reasonable to assume, however, that most have gross annual receipts of less than $750,000 and are, therefore, small in size according to the U.S. Small Business Administration's criteria. This assumption is based on composite data from the 1997 Census of Agriculture, which reports that wheat was harvested for grain from 50,167 acres on 159 farms in Archer County in 1997; that grain had a market value of $4.161 million. In Baylor County, wheat was harvested for grain from 84,368 acres on 166 farms in 1997; that grain had a market value of $6.686 million.
Producers in regulated areas may grow Karnal bunt host crops, but the wheat, durum wheat, or triticale must be tested for Karnal bunt before the harvested crop is moved from the field in which it was grown. This required testing is provided to producers free of charge. Negative-testing grain may be moved out of the regulated area without restriction. Grain found to contain bunted kernels may be moved outside a regulated area only under a limited permit and only to a specified destination for specified handling, utilization, or processing that will mitigate the Karnal bunt risk associated with the grain.
Compensation has been made available to producers in regulated areas to address the loss in value of positive-testing grain. As the 2000-2001 crop season was the first regulated crop season for Archer and Baylor Counties, producers there were eligible for compensation payments of up to $1.80 per bushel. Those payments have, in many cases, already been made to producers affected by the detection of Karnal bunt in Archer and Baylor Counties, thus limiting the negative effects of Karnal bunt infection and the subsequent regulatory restrictions intended to prevent the further spread of the disease.
Under these circumstances, the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.Start List of Subjects

Gremlin's Revenge
Collectors Are Paying More For Kitschy Cars of the 1970s; 'Rich Corinthian Leather'
Terry Fitzpatrick's mid-1970s Ford is chunky and not too fast, with plastic panels and peeling faux-chrome trim inside. Three years ago, he figured the car was worth buying for $5,000, because it reminded him of a TV show he watched as a kid. Now, he's getting offers from people who also kind of like it -- and are willing to buy it for $20,000 or more.
"I never thought it would take off like this," says Mr. Fitzpatrick, a 39-year-old insurance underwriter in Wooster, Ohio. His 1976 Gran Torino is red and white like...

When I was considering purchasing my 5D camera and how expensive it was, I told myself that the cost would be worth it if I could figure out a way to make some extra cash with it as an extension of my graphic design work. One of the main things about it that fascinated me was it's ability to film through the high quality lenses that I was hoping to purchase. I considered all the opportunities this camera and subsequent equipment could bring to me. Not only to produce and create photographs that I literally dreamed about all night long, but also high quality videos and the hint of a possibility to even go so far as making music videos and film shorts!
Since then a whole new world of creativity in the realm of visuals has opened up for me. I haven't looked back since the day I shakily held out my credit card, sweating profusely and feeling like I was about to faint, and said "go ahead and charge it". That was back in April. Only 5 months later and I have managed to land a job filming and directing a "no budget" music video for Katie Todd.
I had been a fan of her music for over a year and knew some of her songs well, but didn't know her name. When I realized that I was going to make a video for a musician that I was already a fan of, I felt extra juiced to make something worthy.
This music video is the culmination of countless hours and money spent on learning, purchasing, and practicing all of the many things that need to be in place in order to pull off a legitimate film/video. Like all learning processes this was not without it's trials and fall backs. There were many times that Petra would come home to see me disheveled and lost in despair as the days and hours passed by with frustrating results. The process of using all the software to color treat and convert footage was mindbogglingly complicated and long.
All along the way, I learned how to get certain looks for things, how to shoot, what lenses to use, what lights to use, where to place them. In less than a year, I've gone from knowing barely anything about cameras in general to getting a general understanding of the complex world of cinematography.
Of course I have only scratched the surface of what I don't know and the world of digital media is a constantly changing one where everyday brings more problems and solutions, but at the very least I can say that I set out to do something a year ago with the plan to purchase this camera hoping it would take me into yet another undiscovered corner of the creative world and I succeeded.
A very special thank you to Roger Jansen of KMA Management who gave me the opportunity to do this (as well as providing the incredible assortment of stage lights that I couldn't have acquired without him), Katie Todd who never shot down a single idea I had and pretty much let me dress her up in whatever I felt like, and lastly my wife Petra who never stops supporting me and encouraging me that I can do ANYTHING.
I'm hoping this is the first of many videos I'll be producing for local artists that couldn't otherwise afford a huge hollywood music video costing millions of dollars and maybe someday, I'll actually start to make some money at it.
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy it.
I am sooo impressed. I love the video, you did a great job really making a video that goes well with the song…which I know is the point….but i doesn't always come out right.
No thanks to B & K who cleverly hid your old camera on the beach to help you take the plunge to purchasing your new one? :o)
Your talents never cease to amaze me, it's really great! Like the tune too.
That's really great. You really did justice to the original art and added some great art of your own. Hearing you fret so much about the process, I wasn't sure what to expect, but this is really well done. And I'm not just trying to gain some hipster cred – really well done, I mean it!
Thank you guys! I really appreciate the compliments. I've learned so much in such a short time and been so involved that it's hard for me to watch it with fresh eyes. Not sure how it looks. Glad to hear that it's coming across well.
Also, if you like the song, check out Katie on iTunes. Her music is really great and she's an amazingly sweet person too.
Sweet video dude. Very interesting work. If you ever need a second shooter I would love to work with you on something like this. I don't care at all about making money, I would just love to be involved. Would be like being back in art school which in many ways is so much better then the real working world where money clouds everything creative.
good job bro….
WOW!!! Is there anything you CAN'T do, Robbie? I LOVED it!! May God bless you with the opportunity to do many many MORE creative music videos like this!
You're amazing! :o)
Wow… that's pretty damn good, man. Nicely done.
I always thought Tommy was the second shooter . . .
Great Job Robbie! Looks very impressive! Cool Song.
I would like offer you an opportunity to direct and or produce one of our next switch advertisements.
When you're ready to compromise you call me.
I am NEVER amazed by the amount of talent you hold in tha little body! LOVE the video, LOVE the song. Wishing you much success always! xoxox
Can't wait to see the next project 🙂
Atta boy, Robbie. Loved the video; proud of you. Katie is wonderful. What a voice. Great song. And you made it all come together with your images and storytelling. Her eyes are fantastic, and I'm guessing you were paying careful attention to them. Did Katie smile on her own, or did you encourage to keep smiling? Whatever, that smile lights up the screen. The song ends well and so does the video. I'm so impressed. Here's how much: I'd love the video no matter who made it. Congratulations, Robbie, and keep going.
Thank you, Kirk.
It's funny how even after all these years from Denny and I wearing trenchcoats filming ourselves walking down the street in the summertime to a pet shop boys song, I'm still trying to make it happen.
Hopefully, I'm getting closer.
As always, your compliments mean a lot to me.
aaaaahhhhhh! absurdly beautiful work as usual! you never cease to amaze me, Robb. chills during video, love precious Katie. i second kirk…you captured her song and spirit perfectly with your work.
You continue to impress and amaze me Conaway.
How in the FUCK did you get that piano into your apartment?!
great job on the video robbie!
Dig the video deep, you knock my wig off. A FAN
Wow!! Robb Great video, love the song the lighting, you really seem like a professional film maker!! I hope this skyrocketts you to stardom!
Robbie, you are so talented, this is fabulous. The girl is very pretty (especially her big eyes) although I have never heard of her. The video is so clear and the picture and everything so great. Well done. Lets hope this is just a start to something really big for you, you deserve it. Such talent should not be hiding away.
Great work. Hanka x

Creating the a basic application that simply loads a site from the web is pretty simple. After you install electron, the main process sets up the application and allows you to create browser windows that load up any websites you want to.
- [Voiceover] Electron makes it easy to create applications with modern web technologies. To get everything working there is a bit of setup as well as some installations that we need to do. Now the first thing you'll need to do is to create a package.json file. That's going to have some minimal information about the setup of the application. We're going to need the app's name as well as a version number. Now if you want to, you can also include the location of a special java script file that's going to set up your application. That file is what Electron calls The Main Process.
We'll do that in just a minute. Now if you don't add this information to your packet.json file, Electron assumes that it's a file called ndex.js in the current directory. You'll also need to install the Electron npm package using the Node Package Manager. That of course means that you'll have to have Node.js installed in order to work with Electron. I recommend that you install it both locally as well as globally. Now make sure you check the instructions on using the exercises for this course if you need help installing Node.js.
In most applications, you'll be working in one of two places, the most important is called The Main Process. This is a java script file with some basic information about the application. We can point to it from our package.json document but will also need to create that file ourselves. Now we'll do that in just a minute. Now, the second place is called the Renderer Process. Electron after all is technically just a browser so the Renderer Process is what goes inside your "browser window". Now the two process can talk to each other.
We'll create a Renderer Process later on in a separate video. Now let's talk a little bit more about this Main Process. As I mentioned before it's where you set up and create your application. You start by requiring the Electron Library just like you would do with any other Node Package. The Electron Library has a series of objects that you can use to set up things. The most important of these is the BrowserWindow Object, of course, this is what you create windows with. Now, since Electron is a wrapper for a Chrome Browser, you can easily load up pages from the internet into a browser window and it will work pretty much just like a regular browser window, but it will look and behave as a regular application that has menus, icons, and everything else you'd expect from a regular app.
Now of course, you can a lot of other things in this Main Process, including: opening up your own files, creating custom menus, and process and send events between the Main and the Renderer Process. Now, we'll save that for later. Let's get started by just making a window that loads a website. So first, I'll start off by creating my package.json file. Right now we have a index.js file that's empty as well as a packge.json file that's also completely empty. So, just like any other package.json, we have to create a json object and it's going to have a couple of parameters.
First, of course, the name of our application, and you can call it whatever you want I'll call mine Electron App. It can't have any spaces, but you can use hyphens and underscores if you want to. Next, we're going to need to add a version number and we'll just put 1.0.0 but you can use whatever you want here. And if you want to, you can also add the location of the main file. If you don't do it, it's going to assume that it's a file called index.js and we already have one right here so we'll just let it do that.
Let's go ahead and save this. That's pretty much all we need in package.json, but we do need to install a couple of things. So, let's switch over to a terminal and I'm going to make sure I'm in the current directory. Now, if I cd to the Desktop, that's usually where I put all my files, and I know that I have a folder on the desktop called Electron. This is where our application is, and what I want to do is do an npm install of Electron, and first, I'm going to install it globally so that I can use commands into terminal.
So, npm install minus g electron and hit return. Right, once that's done, I'm going to go ahead and clear the screen and I'm going to do the same thing but this time I'm going to add the minus minus save dev flag. Now what that's going to do is save Electron as a development dependency of our project. So let's go ahead and hit return. Let's go ahead and clear that and what that's going to do is create a node modules folder that has the electron package inside it.
It's also going to add a node here to our package.json file called devDependencies with Electron on it. So, that's all we need to do with this package.json file, so let's go ahead and switch over to the index.js document. Now the first thing we need to do is, of course, require the library, and you do that in node.js and Electron is technically a node.js application just by using the require statement. Now, we can do that by creating a variable called Electron, and then requiring the library, which is also called Electron, into it.
There are several objects that you can use within this Electron library and the one that we need the most is this one called BrowserWindow. So, we'll create a new variable called BrowserWindow and match it to electron BroswerWindow. This is an object that is inside Electron, and then we'll create another one that will hold our application and that's going to require the electron and then electron has an app method which holds most of the things that we need to create applications.
Once you create this app, we can look for an on event that is going to do something when the application is ready to be run. Now here we can put in a function name or a function literal. I'll just create a function literal here so that the application does something when it's ready to go. And in here, we're going to create a variable for the window that we're going to be displaying something in. So, we'll create a variable, I'll call it appwindow; you can call it whatever you want.
And then, we'll say appWindow is going to be a new BrowserWindow, and usually in here you can pass along an object with settings, but we're just creating a very basic app so we're not going to worry about this right now. You can also use this appWindow to load a URL. So, there's a loadURL method and in here we can type in just a regular web URL, so I'll type raybo.org which is my blog.
And that's all we need to create a simple application. So, let's go ahead and save this and switch back over to our terminal and I know I'm in the proper directory so all I need to do now is execute an electron and then a period for the current directory. And you can see that Electron will run, and it will give us a view of this website. Now, this is the simplest type of application that you can do. Notice that this is just a regular sort of application window; it has a menu, it's called Electron, and it has some default menu items here.
So, this is no different than really just loading a webpage into a browser, but the advantage is that it does look like a regular application. So, this is absolutely the simplest way of creating an application with Electron.
- Creating your first app
- Configuring multiple windows and window events
- Integrating React.js
- Creating external components
- Passing events through props
- Saving data
- Using Bootstrap components in Electron
- Creating a multipanel app
- Creating custom menus
- Packaging the application

Unit Basics
Units are broken into 2 categories: Civilian and Military.
All Military units are customizable, but Civilian units are not.
Civilian units are capable of traveling between planet and space maps.(with unlocks)
Military Units are categorized further based on their Chassis/Hull type.
Mechs are the planetary military units which are built on Mech Chassis.
Ships are the space military units which are built on Ship Hulls.
Transports are built with special Ship Hulls capable of travel on planets and in space.
All units have a movement allowance of a certain amount of tiles per turn. Modular units will have access to modules that increase the movement allowance.
All units have 100 hit points. If a unit reaches 0 hit points, it is destroyed.
Civilian Units
Civilian units are used for all non military tasks in the game.
The Colonist
The Colonist Unit is probably the most staple unit to a 4x game. This is the first
unit that you start the game with, and you are able to found your first city. You will
then continue to expand your empire by building more Colonists and sending
them out to found more cities. These units will eventually be capable of traveling
in space, and will be able to hitch a ride on a Transport until that technology has
been discovered.
The Engineer
This unit is going to be clutch in Xenia's Ark. The Engineer is capable of building
structures over raw resources to harvest and refine them. That of course is a
standard job of such a unit in a 4x game. In Xenia's Ark, the Engineer Unit has
another vital role. Engineers will have the ability to perform "field repairs" and
"on site retrofitting" on Military units. A player will do good to send an Engineer
unit to accompany your troops when sending them on a mission. One will also be
wise to stay on the lookout for enemy Engineers hiding in their ranks and
assassinate that unit quickly!
The Explorer
Another staple unit of the 4x genre, we have the Explorer. You can't make a 4x
game without having all of the 4 Xs right? the eXplorer will be immediately
capable of traveling out to space once built. This unit will be used for early
exploration of planets and continued exploration of the galaxy. The Explorer will
forfeit it's planetary exploration duties to scouting drones as your civilization
advances in technology. The Explorer will never become obsolete however, as is
the case in so many 4x games. Even after completely uncovering all maps in the
game, there will be anomalies that continue to spawn for the duration of the
game that you will want your Explorer to be searching for.
The Diplomat
The Diplomat will be a key unit for players that enjoy a more passive and political
style of gameplay. This unit will be capable of swaying a cities' allegiance and
ultimately cause a secession from their empire. The Diplomat will be key in
interacting and coexisting with the other races in the game.
More details to come…
The Spy
One thing we feel has been lacking in many of the recent 4x games is a good
espionage system. We are still working out all of the mechanics on the Spy unit
in Xenia's Ark, but we can assure you that they will play a key role in many
different play styles. Spies will be able to do many things behind the
scenes to disrupt other races and wage a secret war. They will be able
to infiltrate other cities and destroy key buildings, capture or kill other
leaders, and cause general havoc and disrupt a cities growth. In many
cases, what spies are able to do will make or break a battle without firing a
single shot.
Military Units
Military Units are modular. You start by choosing a frame type(Mech Chassis or Ship Hull). Then you select the specific frame of that type and the modules which are compatible with that frame will become available. You can then fully customize your unit by adding any of the 4 module types to your unit.
Mech and Ship types
Raider Class Chassis (Mech) ============ Assassin Class Hull (Ship)
The Raider Class is designed with a philosophy typified by missions using mechs and ships in a guerilla style of warfare. Hit and runs, scouting missions, and long term exploration missions are best completed by the raider class with their light frames and maneuverability.
Compatible Weapons: Energy(3 tile range – needs line of sight), Missiles(3 tile range)
Weight Capacity: 40
Movement: 3 tiles per turn
Actions: 2 actions per turn(Utility/Attack)
Orion Class Chassis (Mech) =========== Assault Class Hull(Ship)
The Focus Class is designed to be the center point, or rank and file of any military. These hulls strike a balance between the Raider and Foundation classes, they employ tools for a variety of long and short term missions without giving up too much of either extreme in design.
Compatible Weapons: Projectile(2 tile range – needs line of sight), Energy(3 tile range – needs line of sight)
Weight Capacity: 60
Movement: 2 tiles per turn
Actions: 2 actions per turn(Utility/Attack)
Kodiak Class Chassis (Mech) =========== Destroyer Class Hull(Ship)
The Foundation Class of Hulls are designed around the philosophy that bigger is better. These hulls have reinforced materials from corner to corner and support a variety of modules designed to cause large scale devastation.
Compatible Weapons: Projectile(2 tile range – needs line of sight)
Weight Capacity: 90
Movement: 2 tiles per turn
Actions: 2 actions per turn(Utility/Attack)
Titan Class Hull (Ship)
More of a mobile space station suited for battle than a ship, these hull types create the Capital ships, which are the signature vessel of any race and signify amazing achievements in science and manufacturing.
Titan Ships contain massive arsenals of weapons of every form and shape. In addition to bombs and energy weapons, they double as massive launch pads for drones and smaller vessels. Finally, Titan Ships serve as military and diplomatic hubs and contain buildings and offices through which strategies of war are discussed, and important heads of state live and work.
Weapons: Projectile(2 tile range – needs line of sight), Energy(3 tile range – needs line of sight)
Weight Capacity: 135
Movement: 1 tiles per turn
Actions: 3 actions per turn(Utility/Attack)
Modular Construction
All military units planetary and space, are built through the manufacturing and assembly of different modules with ship hulls and mech chassis. These modules, engineered with technology discovered through science and research, are perfected in the crucible of battle, both in space and on land. When finally ready to be mass produced, modules become key components in powerful mech construction for planetary control, as well as for the construction of fast and powerful spaceships used to gain control of the galaxy.
In Xenia's Ark there are 4 categories of modules available to military units. These are Weapon Modules, Defensive Modules, Utility Modules, and Armor Plating. Modules have a weight, production cost, and resource cost. Chassis and Hulls have a max tonnage capacity that limits the amount of modules they can hold. The modules production cost is added to the total production cost of the unit. Production cost affects how long it takes to build a unit. Resource cost on modules will be for (a) specific resource(s) and amount. You will need the specified amount of said resource(s) to build the unit.
Weapon Modules
There are 3 types of weapon modules in Xenia's Ark: Missile, Energy, and
Projectile. Only certain types are compatible with each chassis or hull type.
Missiles have a 3 tile range, however are only compatible with the Raider
Chassis and Assassin Hull. Energy Weapons have a 2 tile range and are
compatible with Raider and Focus Chassis and Assassin and Assault Hulls.
Projectile Weapons have only a 1 tile range. They are compatible with Focus
and Foundation Chassis, as well as Assault and Destroyer Hulls.
Defensive Modules
Defensive Modules grant passive abilities of a defensive nature to the units.
An example of one of these passive abilities is the Missile Defense Turret.
These turrets will automatically intercept incoming missile attacks and reduce the
damage received.
Utility Modules
We wanted Xenia's Ark combat to be more interactive than just attacks and
defense. Our goal is to allow players to really customize their combat experience
by making a wide range of interesting mechanics available to them. Utility
modules do just that! These modules grant interesting active abilities to the units.
You may have never even seen some of these mechanics in a 4x game before!
To give one example of the utility modules, the Cloaking Module allows a unit to
shield themselves from sight and tracking systems. The unit is capable of moving
while cloaked but will be revealed if they perform an action. We will be excited to
reveal information on more utility modules soon!
Armor Plating
Armor Plating is where a unit builds it's defensive power. Defensive power is
calculated against an attackers offensive power(acquired from weapons), to
reduce incoming damage. Balancing the tonnage used between Armor Plating
and Weapon modules allows you to build units ranging from heavy armored, low
damage units, to "glass cannon" types.

This paper discusses safety analysis, layout issues and the effect of motion on equipment in the development of the LNG production facilities. (15pp)
Be the first to review this product
A consortium of European companies within the Azure Project has developed the concept of producing, storing and unloading LNG on an FPSO (Floating, Production, Storage and Off loading). The AZURE project is a design collaboration of ship builders, process design contractors, equipment suppliers and classification societies who are each designing and verifying part of the overall offshore LNG chain. Its objective is to demonstrate that a fully floating LNG chain is a safe and economically viable option.
Two hypothetical design cases have been developed for gas liquefaction:
- A stand-alone gas field located in the Australasian region with a gas liquefaction capacity of 3mtpa.
- An associated gas field located off the coast of West Africa, Gulf of Guinea with a gas liquefaction capacity of 1mtpa. Each design includes LNG and condensate storage, (LPG storage only for the Gulf of Guinea case), an LNG unloading system based on the Boom To Tanker, (BTT), concept, and an accommodation block. The processing facilities include gas reception, acid gas removal, dehydration, mercury removal, liquefaction, fractionation, flares, utilities, and power generation facilities. The safety analysis, layout issues, and the effect of motion on equipment in the development of the LNG production facilities and the design of the steel hull are discussed in the following sections.

After 146 years, students elected an African-American to lead the student body government for the first time. Chicagoan Damani Bolden hopes that distinction is a footnote in his life's work.
"In 146 years of our university's history, I am the first African-American. That is a fact," Bolden said.
It's a fact, but not one that Bolden wants you to dwell on.
He'd rather you focus on his agenda of putting students "first" again in the eyes of administrators at the state's largest public university. Increasing transparency and communication are also on his list.
But first he's got to endure a bit of praise from his proud parents.
"Every since he was five-years-old he's been walking around the house with a shirt and tie on pretending like he's playing school and he wanted to be a politician," his father Brandon Howliet said. "It's significant with Barack Obama being the first black president and him being the first president of the student body, I believe it was just mean to be."
"Race or color is not an issue to him. He doesn't see black and white, he sees a person for a person," Bolden's mother Rachelle Howliet said.
Damani is an agriculture and consumer economics major who graduated from Chicago's Lindblom High School in the Englewood neighborhood.
"I hope it's a footnote. I hope I'm remembered for the things I can do and the things I have accomplished for the student body of the University of Illinois," Bolden said.
His parents pushed him, and he says, led by setting an example of hard work.
"I've been blessed to have a village. The cliché is it takes a village to raise a child. I firmly believe it because I am that example," he said.
As Bolden takes the reigns of the body that represents U of I's 42,000 students this week, he'll have a big family in the Ashburn neighborhood rooting for him.
Bolden promises we haven't heard the last from him. He hopes to one day ask for "all" of our votes when he runs for public office.

West Islip, NY – The number one surgical treatment option for women diagnosed with gynecologic cancer, da Vinci® surgical services are now available at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center. Through tiny incisions, surgeons using da Vinci® can operate with greater precision and control, while offering the best clinical outcomes, including less pain and a shorter recovery. Good Samaritan is the only facility on the south shore of Suffolk County with da Vinci®.
The minimally invasive system is an alternative to both conventional gynecologic surgery and laparoscopy and is widely used for hysterectomies and a range of conditions, including fibroids, endometriosis, prolapse and cancer. Traditionally, the standard approach to these procedures required large incisions, until the emergence of the da Vinci®, offering excellent patient satisfaction and a proven track record of more than 150,000 hysterectomies performed annually.
"For complex hysterectomies and other gynecologic procedures, robot-assisted surgery may be the most effective, least invasive treatment option," stated Good Samaritan Hospital's Chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology Benjamin Schwartz, MD. "The opportunity to expand the capabilities of the Department of Obstetrics/Gynecology with state-of-the-art procedures offered by da Vinci® and other advanced systems is indeed exciting."
Good Samaritan's Department of Surgery is staffed by more than 100 surgical specialists in 12 separate specialty divisions. The hospital is the second largest tertiary care facility in Suffolk County, delivering a combination of superior surgical outcomes with the benefit of comprehensive medical resources supporting each procedure.
To learn more about Good Samaritan's da Vinci® robotic surgery and other minimally invasive services, visit www.good-samaritan-hospital.org or call (631) 376-4444.
Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center is a 537-bed (including 100 nursing home beds), voluntary, not-for-profit hospital located in West Islip. The medical center, which has more than 4,500 employees and almost 900 physicians on staff, had nearly 30,000 patient admissions and more than 95,000 emergency department visits in 2010. Good Samaritan is a member of Catholic Health Services of Long Island. Visit the website at www.good-samaritan-hospital.org.
Good Samaritan provided more than $49 million in community service and charity care in 2010. The medical center supplies residents with the tools necessary to maintain good health. This includes community lectures, screenings, health fairs and other community programs and services.

Emissions Scandal
Fiat Chrysler (US) Renault (France) are also being investigated for diesel emissions.
Follow us on social media to keep up to date with the latest news on the scandal.
Our Facebook Page
Our Twitter Page
Developments are afoot with Dieselgate and we want to make sure that car owners won't miss out. If you've got, or owned, a VW, Skoda, Audi or SEAT, then read on.
Back in September 2015 the news headlines were hit with reports of VW cheating on its emissions tests by using a piece of software, known as a Defeat Device. You no doubt watched the cascade of headlines about the Diesel-Emissions Scandal with open-mouthed horror.
Time has now marched on but the problem hasn't gone away. You may feel that you are being fobbed off with a recall only. We want to see justice done for the millions of consumers affected. People like you.
Group Litigation Claims (sometimes referred to as Class Action) are being mounted against the car manufacturing giant. Over the past year many motorists have turned to us and joined our Register as we watch and wait whilst the scandal soldiered on. There are still some unknown factors. However, Attwoods will be there, on your side, fighting your corner, working tirelessly to get you the compensation you deserve.
Frighteningly, despite the $17.5billion paid to US owners of affected cars, all that has happened is a recall. According to latest figures, almost 200,000 of the 1,189,906 cars affected by Dieselgate in the UK have been recalled. This should be completed by Autumn 2017. VW originally said this would be completed by the end of 2016.
If you owned a VW (or a car from one of their sister companies Skoda, Audi or SEAT) then you may potentially be affected. You need to own, or have owned, a 1.2l, 2.0l, or 1.6l vehicle manufactured between 2009 and 2015 and have done so before 1st January 2016. Specific engines have been affected – these are the EA189 engines. You can Register with us to see if your vehicle would be implicated.
In terms of the recall, the 1.2l and 2.0l all that the recall is doing is a quick software edit. For the 1.6l hardware changes are being completed at the recall.
However, we, along with many, don't believe a recall is enough to recoup your financial loss.
What you get will from a Group Litigation Claim will be dependent on many factors. Group Litigation Claims for Dieselgate will be handled on a No Win No Fee basis meaning that you won't pay any Legal Fees unless your claim is successful. This group approach brings you the benefit of safety in numbers and reduced overheads. If the Group Litigation against Volkswagen is successful you may receive compensation. Compensation for affected owners is currently being thought to average around £3000. The amount awarded to each individual should reflect:
- Any costs incurred by you as a result of the recall in terms of time and money whilst you are without your vehicle
- Increased Fuel Costs – diesel has been popular for its lower cost to motorists for a good few years now.
- Depreciation in value on your vehicle– this means potentially one of your largest assets significantly dropping in value through no fault of your own
- Costs associated with future repairs – whatever has to be done to fix the problem will likely incur costs in the future too.
You should be able to get awarded compensation should the above, or some of the above, prove true. Additionally if you are one of the motorists who paid more for a 'clean diesel' version of a vehicle then you could be entitled to a refund on the difference in price.
It is time to get your voice heard amongst the masses as well as making sure you don't miss out on any potential compensation. At Attwoods we have already rolled our Group Litigation Service into action. Daily, many more like you are getting on board – turning one voice in to a giant that is big enough to rival the formidable car companies. All you need to do is register your details, get informed on what's happening now and how things are developing, share your story and concerns with others in the same boat, and let us do the rest.
Let's Stand Together.

from our CLIENTS
I am writing to you personally to say thank you to Attwood's for a job well done with my recent claims. It initially started out as one claim, but eventually became a little more complicated when another was added following a review of my condition by one of your dental experts. Throughout the last couple of years as the claim has progressed I have been fully supported by your colleague Luke Taylor. I have thanked him personally for all the good work and support he gave me over the last couple of years, it was quite a journey for both of us but with the right outcome, but I just wanted to also highlight to yourself the good service and support he provided me with. It was very much needed and appreciated. He has always been very professional and the advice he has given has always been with real feeling and thought, and not the "just my job" attitude. Even when I was very wary of what to do next, he always explained it in simple terms for me understand and move forward. If I ever need similar help in the future, your company will be the first I contact. With my sincere appreciation and regards.
I contacted Attwood Solicitors requesting that they represent me. Their response to date has been way beyond my expectations . They have provided a comprehensive and professional service at every stage, with a dedicated member of staff as my contact.
All my queries and issues have been resolved very efficiently and you have always contacted me back when promised. I have certainty felt you have been acting on my behalf and would like to thank you for that. Once again we would like to convey our sincere thanks to you and would have no reservations recommending you to anyone else – you have been a star

After an intense week of voting, the world has finally declared what we all already knew: RuPaul really is the best host of a reality television show there is.
The Supermodel of The World beat out the likes of Adam Levine, Demi Lovato, Blake Shelton and Howard Stern to take the crown for "Best Reality Show Judge Or Host 2013" in this year's annual TV.com poll.
In fact, RuPaul didn't just win -- he slayed the competition with over 30,000 more votes than Shelton, who nabbed second place, topping the charts with 104,871.
As if that wasn't enough, "RuPaul's Drag Race" also snatched the
wig title of "Best Reality Competition Series 2013" from big names such as "Face Off," "Survivor," "The Voice" and "American Idol."

Alpine EX-10At CES 2008, Kevin Massy takes a look at this plug-and-play solution for connecting your iPod to your car.
[ music ] ^M00:00:03 [ background music ] >> I'm Kevin Massey for CNET.com, and we are taking a first look at the Alpine EX10. Now this is a product that you might want to use if you want to keep your standard stock stereo, your standard factory installed stereo, and have intelligent access to your iPod tunes. The system comprises two pieces. There's a, a remote control, and this full color display module that mounts on your dashboard. You just plug in your iPod. What happens then is all of your iPod songs, all of your iPod output is visible on this display. As you can see, there's the familiar iPod categories, play lists, artists, albums, and so forth. And I can search through the tracks on my iPod one at a time, or I can use the left hand side of the remote to search through five at a time. So here we go. [ background music ] I'm listening to my iPod via an FM transmitted signal, without having to replace my stock factory stereo. It's a nice, it's a nice solution for those people who, who don't want to rip their dashboard to pieces they just want to plug and play, a solution for playing their iPod on the road. The other major headline feature of the EX10 is it can be used as a hands free Bluetooth calling interface. So on the remote control there's a button for phone access. I have my cell phone connected at the moment. I press the phone button, I get a list of my call history. And if your phone book, if your cell phone supports the relevant Bluetooth profile, you can actually access your phone book, and there I have all my contacts. The Alpine EX10 is shipping now, with a price of two hundred and thirty dollars. And it's a, it's a nice, easy way to get your iPod tunes on the road without pulling your car to pieces. I'm Kevin Massey, CES 2008. [ background music ] And we've just had a first look at the Alpine EX10. ^M00:02:03 [ music ]

Last evening was Connor's second track meet and it was all relays. He ran three of them and did great (as far as I know anything about track, that is!) but he is always striving to improve his times, so if you ask him how he did, he will give you a "meh" and shrug his shoulders.
He is a perfectionist, which was a tough thing when he was little, but it is a driving force that really propels him through the rigors of high school academics and athletics now. I think that next year, 11th grade, will be the year that everything awesome I see in Connor is going to come bursting forth and his confidence is going to finally match his abilities. It is hard when you are your own harshest critic, and in his mind we are his parents, we are supposed to be his biggest cheerleaders, but it doesn't mean that we are right. I don't buy that. I think that he is amazing because he is. And not just because he is mine.
I love this boy. My All-American kiddo.
He had some distance to make up when it was his turn on one of the relays.
and he closed that gap and made it look easy. I love to watch him run.
Hopefully this gif. works. He evened it up on his part of the relay, giving his remaining teammates the chance to win, and in the end I think they came in 3rd. It was a great race.
here you can create animated gif easy
I am so proud of you Connor Liam. Seriously, undeniably thrilled to be your mom. You know, the lady in the stands yelling so loud that kids cover their ears? She thinks you're awesome.
Edited to Add: Connor came home with these two ribbons- 3rd place!
Go Big Blue!

The world we live in is RIDICULOUSLY complicated.
We get up each day and proceed down the increasingly complex path of daily life, but we loose sight of the complexity. We take what we know for granted because it's always been there. But consistency doesn't eliminate complexity; it just masks it.
But the beauty of complexity is that it's natural. Life is complex. Nature is complex. Complex to the point that life is a miracle.
The smartest minds of our day – of any day – have no idea about the BIG questions. None.
We're all just faking it. Complexity IS the norm.
Why are we here? How did we get here? Where are we headed? What's our purpose?
Right, no answer. It's complex.
Complexity is great. It's beautiful. Yet we try to limit it. We try to manipulate the complex so we can feel like we're in control.
But the reality is that we need to release control. We need to let the complex flow and let nature take its course.
I, Pencil is a mind-blowing example of how simple the complex actually is. Life flows, and we all play our part…when we let it.
The trouble is we do a great job of getting in our own way.
We talk about "the market" when things are good.
And we talk about "bail outs" when things go bad.
Nature doesn't give us the luxury of choosing when to embrace the complex. The complex just IS.
Let go. And let the complex lead us to simplicity.
A pencil isn't just a pencil. It's a mind-blowing process of complexity that is beautiful in its simplicity.
I, Pencil…
Hat tip to Lew.

KT&G Gains 'Friendly' Holder
Tobacco Giant Sells 2.03% to Shinhan; A Defensive Move?
SEOUL -- KT&G Corp. of South Korea sold treasury shares equivalent to a 2.03% stake to Shinhan Bank, a wholly owned unit of Shinhan Financial Group, for 201.9 billion won ($219 million), a move analysts view as a measure to increase the presence of "friendly" shareholders.
KT&G, the country's dominant tobacco company, sold the three million shares before the market opened yesterday, a person familiar with the matter said....

Animals are so busy! In daytime eagles dive for fish, lizards gobble insects, and tortoises dine on cactus flowers. When night falls, bats catch moths, crickets sing, and cougars prowl. Engaging rhymes describe the action through the cycle of every day and night, as well as through each month of the year. An "Explore More" section provides teachers and parents with lots of ideas to expand on the seasonal and nocturnal themes.
5 Stars
This is an enchanting nonfiction picture book that takes the reader through the calendar year observing animals and insects in the daytime and at night. The illustrations are exactly right for this age and the light verse is easy to understand. The back of the book has teaching activities and more information. This would be a good book for science in a preschool or early elementary classroom or at home.
There are so many animals in this book that I've just included a couple.

Yuuta Print
"Yuuta" is an earlier painting of mine, but has been very significant to me since her creation, and symbolizes my feelings about what it means to be a woman. The snake represents her mind, which to me is the sexiest and strongest part of a woman. And she's holding the snake because she is in control of who she is. The butterflies represent the other aspect of fragility and freedom. And if sharing my reflections makes Yuuta stand out to you too, I'm sure you'll enjoy what she has to share to your collection!
Yuuta prints start in 8x10" Lasal Paper size from $25. You can choose the size, paper type & whether you'd like it signed or unsigned in the dropdown box. Fun options for ya! So you can decide if you want your new print sent to me for signing first for an extra fee, since I live in Vancouver Canada and it will cost a tad extra to have it come to me first to sign before heading to you, my lovely! My prints are standard sizes, so they're easy to frame, and handmade & hand-cut with love!
-You can customize your paper type and signature option.
-I have TWO paper options:
-Lasal paper is bright white with no texture. Its smooth paper with a medium thickness (230gsm)
-Entrada paper is a beautiful thick fine art paper (300gsm). It's a lightly textured luxurious paper made from cotton. This is a beautiful upgrade from a print to a fine art print!
-Please anticipate 2 weeks for production for unsigned prints
-Signed prints are made in Vancouver, Canada, and take production time due to shipping internationally. Thank you for your patience with this signed option, but I promise it'll be worth it to have my personal signature!
-Custom Print orders are not eligible for cancellation once printed

Business owners wear many hats to keep things running. It's easy to get bogged down with the small stuff when we should be working on the big picture.
Changing light bulbs in your business, for example, seems simple enough right? Except the ladder's never handy, the right kind of light bulb is never on hand, and who has the time? What should take five minutes ends up taking almost an hour. Add that up over the course of year. If you change just one light bulb each month, you've lost at least a whole workday's worth of productivity.
Arnold Electric can take care of all of your facilities' electrical needs, right down to light bulb replacement. We even warranty the light bulbs that we provide and install for you. Any bulb that burns out within a five-year period is covered!
Arnold Electric serves all kinds of companies—daycare facilities, warehouses, commercial office buildings, libraries, restaurants, and more. We manage those pesky light bulb changes, but we also cover cost-saving LED retrofits and even preventative maintenance of critical electrical equipment. You'll never have to worry about any of your equipment's electrical service, from motors, starters, lighting contactors, switch gear distribution centers, or even breaker panels.
We offer monthly or quarterly programs based on needs and wants. Our service programs are custom-tailored to the different sizes and needs of our clients' businesses. Take the control back of your business and leave the power to us!

What is Primsol (trimethoprim) and how does it work?
Primsol is a synthetic (man-made) antibiotic that interferes with the production of tetrahydrofolic acid, a chemical that is necessary in order for bacteria and human cells to produce proteins. Trimethoprim inhibits production of tetrahydrofolic acid by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for making tetrahydrofolic acid from dihydrofolic acid. Primsol inhibits the bacterial enzyme more than the human enzyme. Therefore, Primsol has less effect on the production of tetrahydrofolic acid by humans. Because of the frequent development of resistance to Primsol, it is more effective when combined with another antibiotic, sulfamethoxazole (Azo-Gantanol), and is rarely used alone.
What brand names are available for XYZ?
- Primsol is the brand name for trimethoprim available in the US.
- Trimpex and Proloprim are brand names that have been discontinued in the US.
Quick GuideSymptoms of Mono: Infectious Mononucleosis Treatment
What are the uses for Primsol (trimethoprim)?
- Primsol is used for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI) due to susceptible bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter species, and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species, including S. saprophyticus.
What are the side effects of Primsol (trimethoprim)?
The most common side effects associated with Primsol involve the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, such as:
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Abnormal taste
- Swelling of the tongue
Other important side effects are:
Rarely, the skin rash can progress to peeling or blistering. Some patients have photosensitivity reactions, that is, they develop skin rashes on parts of their body that are exposed to the sun.
Serious side effects include:
- Serious allergic reactions
- Exfoliative dermatitis
- Stevens-Johnson syndrome
- Phototoxicity
- Cholestatic jaundice
- C. Difficile diarrhea
Primsol may cause anemia due to a deficiency of folic acid. The anemia usually is mild and resolves when the Primsol is stopped. Patients who are folate-deficient, such as malnourished, alcoholic, geriatric, or pregnant females, may be at greater risk for developing anemia with Primsol. Warning signs of anemia include white or bluish fingernails and unusual tiredness and weakness. Prolonged therapy can result in low platelet counts, low white blood cell counts, and other toxic effects on the blood cells.
What is the dosage for Primsol (trimethoprim)?
- The usual dose is 100 mg every 12 hours or 200 mg every 24 hours for 10 days.
- As with all antibiotics, it is important to complete the entire course of Primsol even if symptoms improve early during therapy.
- Persons with kidney diseases may need to receive lower doses since diseased kidneys may not eliminate Primsol adequately from the body, and levels of Primsol may increase in the body and lead to side effects.
Which drugs or supplements interact with Primsol (trimethoprim)?
- Changes in one patient's mental status occurred when a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole was given with amantadine (Symmetrel).
- Blood levels of phenytoin (Dilantin) may be increased by treatment with trimethoprim. This may lead to side effects of phenytoin such as dizziness, and reduced attention.
- Trimethoprim also may increase blood levels of digoxin (Lanoxin) and warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven) and lead to serious toxic effects.
- Anemia, due to a reduction in folic acid, can occur in persons receiving
trimethoprim in combination with:
- divalproex,
- valproic acid (Depakote, Depakote ER, Depakene, Depacon, Stavzor),
- methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall),
- pyrimethamine,
- triamterene, or
- trimetrexate.
- The combination of trimethoprim and cyclosporine can increase the risk of kidney damage from cyclosporine. When trimethoprim and dapsone are used together, increased blood concentrations of both drugs can occur, sometimes with side effects that include a toxic condition of the blood called methemoglobinemia.
- Rifampin can increase the elimination of trimethoprim by the kidneys and may reduce the effectiveness of trimethoprim.
Is Primsol (trimethoprim) safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
- Although there are no human studies that have examined the effects of trimethoprim on the fetus, animal studies have shown adverse effects. Therefore, the physician must weigh the potential risks to the fetus against the potential benefits to the mother when considering trimethoprim therapy for pregnant women.
- Trimethoprim is secreted into breast milk in high concentrations. Use of trimethoprim by mothers who are breast-feeding should be avoided.
What else should I know about Primsol (trimethoprim)?
What preparations of Primsol (trimethoprim) are available?
- Tablets: 100 and 200 mg.
- Solution: 50 mg/5 ml
How should I keep Primsol (trimethoprim) stored?
- Tablets should be stored at room temperature, 15 C - 30 C (59 F - 86 F).
When was Primsol (trimethoprim) approved by the FDA?

Ear Infection
Middle ear infection or inflammation (otitis media) is inflammation of the middle ear. There are two forms of this type of ear infection, acute and chronic. Acute otitis media is generally short in duration, and chronic otitis media generally lasts several weeks. Seventy-five percent of children in the U.S. suffer from otitis media at some point.
Signs and symptoms in babies, toddlers, and children may:
- Be irritable and pull and tug at their ears
- Be fussy
- Have problems feeding or sleeping
- Complain about pain and fullness in the ear
- Have a fever
- A buildup of pus in the ear
- Have signs and symptoms of an upper respiratory infection
Treatment depends upon the type (chronic or acute).

Female Sexual ProblemsSexual dysfunction in women is common, from female sexual arousal disorder to other sexual problems. Causes of female sexual disorders include stress, anxiety, and medications.
Liver Blood TestsAn initial step in detecting liver damage is a simple blood test to determine the presence of certain liver enzymes in the blood. Under normal circumstances, these enzymes reside within the cells of the liver. But when the liver is injured, these enzymes are spilled into the blood stream, and can lead to diseases like fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and hepatitis. Several medications also can increase liver enzyme test results.
MelioidosisMelioidosis (Whitmore's disease) is an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei bacteria. Symptoms include bronchitis, pneumonia, fever, headache, loss of appetite, cough, and chest pain. Treatment involves antibiotics or surgical removal of the lung abscess in severe cases.
Prostatitis (Inflammation of the Prostate Gland)Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland. Signs and symptoms of prostatitis include painful or difficulty urinating, fever, chills, body aches, blood in the urine, pain in the rectum, groin, abdomen, or low back, and painful ejaculation or sexual dysfunction. Causes of prostatitis include STDs, bacteria from urinary tract infections, or e. Coli. Treatment for prostatitis depends on if it is a bacterial infection or chronic inflammation of the prostate gland.
Prostatitis vs BPH Enlarged Prostate Gland
Prostatitis and BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia, enlarged prostate gland) are both conditions of the prostate gland.
There are four types of prostatitis that can be caused by infections (usually bacterial) or other health conditions or problems, acute bacterial prostatitis (type I), chronic bacterial prostatitis (type II), chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (type III), and asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis (type IV).
BPH is inflammation of the prostate gland, and most men have the condition by age 50. Doctor's don't know what causes this inflammation, but they theorize that it may be related to hormones. Both of these conditions can cause similar symptoms like low back pain, pain during urination, or difficulty or the inability to urinate. However, prostatitis has many more symptoms and signs than BPH, and they based on the type of prostatitis. Examples include low back pain and/or abdominal pain, painful urination, fever, chills, feeling tired, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), painful urination intermittently, intermittent obstruction urinary tract symptoms (frequent, painful, or incomplete urination), pelvic pain and/or discomfort, pain with ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction (ED).
If you think you have either of these conditions contact your doctor or other health care professional. Bacterial prostatitis can be cured with antibiotics; however, there is no cure for BPH.
Travel MedicineTravelers should prepare for their trip by visiting their physician to get the proper vaccinations and obtain the necessary medication if they have a medical condition or chronic disease. Diseases that travelers may pick up from contaminated water or food, insect or animal bites, or from other people include:
- malaria,
- meningococcal meningitis,
- yellow fever,
- hepatitis A,
- typhoid fever,
- polio, and
- cholera.
Urinary Tract Infection
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of the bladder, kidneys, ureters, or urethra. E. coli, a type of bacteria that lives in the bowel and near the anus, causes most UTIs. UTI symptoms include pain, abdominal pain, mild fever, urinary urgency and frequency. Treatment involves a course of antibiotics.

Banned in Boston (Illinois Jacquet, Portrait Masters).
It is easy to overlook tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet. His music falls in the seam between highbrow jazz and low-down blues. Moreover, he acknowledged his debt to the horn players of the Swing Era in nearly every solo long after others seemed to reject everyone before Charlie Parker. But this reissue of recordings from three 1962 sessions is a reminder that Jacquet`s roots are deep and strong. Trumpeter Roy Eldridge joins him in a set of spirited, honest performances that wouldn`t have been banned anywhere but would never be mistaken for tame, either. (Reviewed on LP.)
