Merck's Clark on lookout to acquire smaller drug maker
Merck CEO Richard Clark said he is interested in buying a smaller drug maker whose products could boost revenue over the next few years as Merck struggles with declining sales of its Zocor cholesterol fighter, Reuters reports.
"We are interested in any company that would be aligned with our research capabilities and that would give us top-line growth over the next few years," Clark told Reuters in an interview.
Clark said the company would continue to license drugs from biotech companies but that an outright acquisition of a drug maker might offer particular advantages.
"Targeted acquisitions have always been a part of Merck's strategy. I may be a little more aggressive now in stating it," Clark said, adding he is not interested in a merger with another large drug maker--a continuation of Merck's longstanding strategy.
Merck unveiled a major restructuring, under which it plans to cut 7,000 jobs, or 11% of its global work force, and will close or sell five of its 31 manufacturing plants. Merck, which eliminated 825 jobs worldwide last month, said the latest job cuts will take place by the end of 2008, about half of them in the U.S.

Gottlieb Daimler was born in Schorndorf on 17 March 1834. In addition to his studies at the grammar school in Schorndorf, he also attended drawing classes on Sundays. In 1848 Gottlieb Daimler began an apprenticeship as a gunsmith in Schorndorf. He finished his apprenticeship in 1852, presenting the required journeyman's piece he had created, a double-barrelled pistol. After a stay in France, where Daimler acquired practical experience in mechanical engineering, he attended the Polytechnical School in Stuttgart from 1857 to 1859. After working in diverse technical jobs in France and England he began to work as a technical draughtsman in the town of Geislingen in 1862. At the end of 1863 he became workshop at a factory of the Bruderhaus orphanage and school in the city of Reutlingen. Here he met Wilhelm Maybach in 1865.
On November 9, 1867 he married Emma Kurtz from Maulbronn. In 1869 he left Reutlingen to take up employ as workshop director at the Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft Karlsruhe. Three years later he changed to Otto und Langen as technical director of the Deutz Gasmotorenfabrik, where he became acquainted with the principle of the Otto four-stroke engine. After differences with the company management, he left the Gasmotorenfabrik in mid-1882.

Embattled Rolling Stone journalist Sabrina Rubin Erdely's first ever story for Rolling Stone had serious factually problems according to her.
On camera in 2012 Erdely describes how her award-winning college article was seriously, seriously wrong.
She profiled Michelle Shocked, a born again Christian, and was called by none other than Shocked's husband.
"Michelle Shocked's husband called at my house… calling to tell me that he had read the story and just about everything in the story was wrong," Erdely said.
"Was that true?" Erdely's interviewer asked. "It actually was true [that just about everything in the story was wrong]," Erdely replied.
Erdely missed Shocked's press conference and then went to archived media sources to fill in the rest of the story. She "fused" the story together.
"I went to the library and pulled up tons of clips on her, borrowed whatever I could find. I just borrowed whatever facts I could find. It turns out that those facts which were in mainstream publications and magazines were not actually factual. Which completely shocked me. I just assumed those were real and legit but they were not at all."
Winning that college award was taken by Erdely as a "sign from God" that she should be a journalist instead of a psychiatrist.
But the revelation by Erdely also raises profound questions about Rolling Stone's fact checking capabilities in the 1990s.
It also raises intriguing questions about Shock's relationship with fabulist Stephen Glass who once disciplined her for making something up at the University of Pennsylvania newspaper.
"Sabrina Rubin, who says she and the rest of the editorial board "adored" him, puts it another way: "There are reporters who get ahead because they're great schmoozers, and I think Steve was definitely one of them." When he became the paper's executive editor, the editorial board hailed him as a "man of principle," and in her Philadelphia magazine piece, Rubin describes how Glass threw a righteous fit when she and a colleague concocted a funny and obviously made-up travel story for 34th Street — going so far as to call an emergency session of the DP's Alumni Association board to apprise them of the transgression. (Rubin also acknowledges that she felt "terrible" about writing a fairly dishy article about someone she had once liked and admired. "Actually, Eliot [Kaplan] had to force me to do it," she says. "I didn't want to do it at all.")
Will Rolling Stone now fire her editor, Will Dana?

Tai Chi
Researchers studied a group of fall-prone adults, with an average age of 78, living in residential care. 29 undertook a 12-week Tai Chi course three times a week and 30 formed the non-exercise control group.
They found that the physical fitness of the exercise group showed significant improvement, with stronger knee and ankle muscles, improved mobility and flexibility and better balance.
For example, after the exercise programme had finished, the time taken by the exercise group to walk six metres had fallen by 25 per cent, while the control group took 14 per cent longer.
"As people get older they are more likely to experience falls and this can lead to some very serious health issues" says co-author Professor Rhayun Song from the Chung Nam National University in South Korea.
"Figures published in the United States estimate that 30 per cent of people over 65 living in the community fall each year and this rises to up to 50 per cent for people in long-term care facilities, such as residential homes. One in ten falls results in a fracture.
"Regular exercise is very important as we get older because when we get to 65 we start losing muscle strength at a rate of up to two per cent per year."
Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese martial art consisting of a series of slow, gentle, continuous movements, is particularly suitable for older people as it helps them to develop stronger muscles and better balance and concentration.
The exercise programme used in the research consisted of 10 minutes of warming up exercises, 20 minutes of Sun-style Tai Chi movement and five minutes of cooling down exercises. Traditional instrumental music was used to help the group maintain slow and continuous movements and provide a soothing effect.

Amongst one of the most common points, that people want to understand is "specifically why do cushions sag?" It's a budget-friendly inquiry and one that affects the bed market and the client, alike. A cushion is a monetary investment, and the consumer, normally, has no passion in investing hundreds or many bucks on a bed that could shed its initial comfort rapidly after its acquisition. The manufacturer, on the various other hand, has to take care of discontented clients. From both perspectives, bed droop could be and inhibiting obstacle in the cushion purchasing treatment and it is among the prominent aspects that a consumer opts to return their bed.
What activates this instead typical cushion concern? We have actually specified a few of the common wrongdoers when it worries a sinking bed:
Inferior Item.
Our experience has actually exposed us that substandard top quality bed aspects are the # 1 biggest element to bed droop. Great deals of manufacturers reduced expenditures on timber and various other items like Springs to decrease expenditures and maximize their earnings. These substandard items do not have the sturdiness and longevity had to handle the wear and tear of one or 2 bodies resting on the very same cushion each evening, and throughout many years.
Poor Structure/ Box spring.
An improperly established structure or structure will certainly contribute to very early sagging of your cushion according to http://www.memoryfoammattress-guide.org/labor-day-sales-memory-foam-mattresses/. The structure is produced as a support system for your bed to help avoids sagging or sinking. Countless cushion solution guarantees will certainly require that a certain structure is utilized to obtain warrantable solution on any type of droops or body impacts. When getting ideal bed, it's critical to consider the problem of your structure.
Discoloration or Fluid Infiltration.
Any type of fluids, water or various other liquids, may damage the furniture of your bed causing the leading layers of item to press. Understanding this, manufacturers may invalidate your solution guarantee if any kind of sign of discoloration near the aggravating places on your bed exists. That's why it is a practical monetary investment to opt for a water resistant cushion guard. These equipped sheet-style guards are easy to utilize and tidy and they will certainly guard your cushion versus any kind of unpredicted problems.
Understanding the impacts of cushion droop, for both the marketplace and the client, pick a product that eliminates this annoying issue.

Over the dead line we have called to you
To come across with a word to us,
Some beaten whisper of what happens
Where you are over the dead line
Deaf to our calls and voiceless.
The flickering shadows have not answered
Nor your lips sent a signal
Whether love talks and roses grow
And the sun breaks at morning
Splattering the sea with crimson.

Exploiting the public concern over finding swine flu vaccine, Internet scammers have been using a fake e-mail to steal passwords and install a damaging virus in victims' computers.
According to the Better Business Bureau office serving Chicago and northern Illinois, the fraudulent e-mail purportedly comes from a "State Vaccination H1N1 Program" and offers an official-looking but bogus link to the Web site for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"The only virus these scammers are interested in is the one they want to install in your computer, which could damage your machine," said Steve Bernas, president and CEO of the BBB's local office.

About Nick Gentry
Drawing on recycled and obsolete technological materials as the grounds for his paintings, London-based artist Nick Gentry creates a conversation between digital and analog processes. Gentry constructs his painting supports out of materials such as 35mm film negatives, VHS cassettes, X-ray prints, and floppy discs. "These objects are no longer in the spotlight," the artist has said of floppy discs, "but by placing them there for a second it becomes easier to comprehend the speed and extent of the changes that are taking place today." Gentry often incorporates elements of these materials into his figures. The magnetic circles of floppy discs, for example, often serve as women's eyes in his portraits.

New Avengers #4

New York is overrun by demons after the weakening of the mystical barriers between dimensions and, apparently, the Ancient One is behind it all? Color me surprised, but also impressed since this debut arc of the relaunched "New Avengers" continues to impress with lots of action as the team is in over its head, a fact that only Spider-Man seems aware of, while even the collective knowledge of Dr. Strange, Dr. Voodoo, and Daimon Hellstrom can't figure out who is responsible for this incursion. This issue focuses on the action more than anything, creating a fun issue with lots of stunning visuals courtesy of Stuart Immonen and an ending that's just as shocking as last issue's.
With so much of the story so far focused on establishing what's happening, an issue devoted almost entirely to the heroes responding to the demonic invasion makes for a nice breather and a chance to see the team work as a unit. Luke and Jessica fighting back-to-back is a fun moment with Jessica still getting accustomed to being a superhero again, while Luke ribs her about it. At the same time, the trio of mystically minded fellows try to figure it all out with Hellstrom spending most of his energies on criticizing and complaining. He's right to criticize the two Sorcerers Supreme, but he clearly has no idea how to help and it's entertaining to see him cover up for it by being a jerk.
Dr. Strange gets a spotlight when he has to enter the fray to keep things from getting worse and to save Ms. Marvel from her own heroic impulses. Bendis' Strange is definitely more of a man of action than other interpretations as, in "New Avengers," he's never been afraid to dive in head first to deal with a problem. More than that, he doesn't project the cold detachment that other writers imbue in him, giving him more of a personality that fits the life he leads, especially since he's fallen from the rank of Sorcerer Supreme. His dynamic with Dr. Voodoo is oddly one where he is more dominant, playing off his experience and Voodoo's newness to the position despite Voodoo outranking Strange now.
With so much of this issue based on action, Stuart Immonen carries the day through dynamic, gorgeous pages. He packs the pages with detail, using different angles, often from a tilted or off kilter perspective to help immerse the reader in what's going on. His progression from panel to panel draws you in, creating a sense of space, while focusing on specific pieces of action. On one two-page layout, he uses a tier of panels across the middle of the pages to show Luke Cage overwhelmed by demons, moving in closer with every panel until the next tier begins with a large shot of the demons and Cage flying through the air, a "KRAKOOM" superimposed on the panel, creating a great effect.
Added to Immonen's fantastic art are Laura Martin's colors, which complement it very well. Most of the issue is bathed in a reddish orange glow because of the invasion, but that acts more as a filter on the lens with the true colors of the setting and characters coming through. That gives the impression of things not being right without overpowering the art and dragging down into a reddish orange mess.
Even though this story is built on events from the first "New Avengers" series, it stands alone well here with the premise clearly presented and explored through entertaining action and character interaction. Dr. Strange steps out as the point man for the heroes, setting up the surprise at the end of the issue. I can't wait to see what happens next.

For most service members with a service dog, the bond between man and animal is unbreakable. But some people are sick and evil inside, and the story of what these two horrible people did proves it.
Marinna Rollins is a veteran who was given a medical discharge from the military due to PTSD. She was assigned a service dog named Camboui, who she called Cam. Her boyfriend, Jarren Heng, is still on active duty. And together, the two of them committed an awful crime.
They took Cam, a grey and white pitbull, to a wooded area, where they tied him to a tree. Rollins then shot him five times, laughing with Heng, as they took turns filming the brutal crime.
On the video, Heng can be heard saying, "Let me hit him once," while Rollins shot the dog. Rollins can likewise be heard saying, "It's been real … I love you, you're my puppy, you're a good puppy, but… " and after the dog was dead, Rollins can be seen dragging the poor dog's body around. They then rolled Cam into a shallow grave. "Kind of put him a little deeper," Heng said.
Text messages and social media postings appear to show a lot of premeditation. On Rollins' Facebook page, she had posted, "Great last day with the pooch! Sad he has to go, but he will be much happier where he is heading off to :)" with Heng responding, "He's gonna have such a great new life."
Rollins is currently being held on $25,000 bail and has been charged with animal cruelty and conspiracy.

For as long as rock 'n' roll has been around, there have been songs celebrating the genre. In the '50s, there was "Rock And Roll Music," "Twenty Flight Rock," "Rock And Roll Is Here To Stay," "Seven Nights To Rock," and "Rock Around The Clock," among many others. Future generations of musicians would also join in on the festivities: The Rolling Stones proclaimed "It's Only Rock 'N Roll (But I Like It)," Zeppelin raved it up in "Rock And Roll," and KISS cemented their place in history with "Rock And Roll All Nite."
Tom Petty threw in his two cents with "Anything That's Rock 'N' Roll," a song that might have been partially inspired by KISS' track. According to Mike Campbell in the Playback liner notes, the two of them went to see the group "at their height. … I made a comment to Tom that 'All you have to do these days is put the words rock 'n' roll in a song and it'll get on the radio.' The next day Tom came in with this song, 'Anything that's rock 'n' roll's fine.' I can't take credit for that, but I do remember saying it. Whether he heard me or not I don't know."
For his part, Petty suggests he didn't hear him. "I never knew he said that," he says in Conversations With Tom Petty. "I liked the phrase 'rock 'n' roll' and I was kind of afraid it was dying out at the time. I used it in a couple of songs around those days [referring to "Baby's A Rock 'N' Roller," from You're Gonna Get It!]. That song's really naive; it's something I couldn't sing now. It's a kid singing that song."
After 38 years and 15 subsequent albums, exploring numerous different themes and growing as a writer in every way, it's understandable why Petty wouldn't want to sing this song today. Lyrically, it is a typical tale of the wonders of rock 'n' roll. In the first verse, Tom is hanging out at night with some friends, "rockin' pretty steady 'til the sky went light. Didn't go to bed, didn't go to work; I picked up the telephone, told the boss he was a jerk." The second verse introduces his girlfriend who "don't need school, don't like [her] daddy and don't like rules."
The chorus consists of them listening to the radio, because "anything that's rock 'n' roll's fine." The bridge explores the sexual connotations that have frequently been attached to rock 'n' roll: "Hold me, little baby, I'm a little bit shakin', I'm a little bit crazy. But I know what I want, I want it right now, while the 'lectric guitars are playin' way up loud."
It's all very simple, but Tom had every reason to want to write this song. The beautiful, wonderful amalgam of blues, folk, country, jazz, and swing that is rock 'n' roll became an escape and lifestyle for so many when it rose to prominence in the early to mid-1950s. Artists like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and so many others were exciting, not only because of their songs and performances, but because of their style and messages. Whether it served as an inspiration to pick up an instrument, question authority, or let go of inhibitions, it was a very important thing that hit at the right time.
That is all common knowledge, but rock 'n' roll has evolved so much over the past 60-plus years. Even by the time this song was written, it had been a relevant music genre for more than two decades. In that time, there had been artists who introduced greater musical themes and theory (the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, etc.) and lyrical virtuosity (Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Jim Morrison, etc.) to the genre. This is, of course, a great thing, as these artists produced some of the best music of all time, and because evolution is necessary in any style of music. But it is crucial to remember the history of rock 'n' roll, and to understand exactly how it began, what it meant, and what it can and should still mean sometimes.
This makes a song like "Anything That's Rock 'N' Roll" still pertinent, regardless of if this ground had been covered before or how "naive" Petty may consider it. Considering that he was born in 1950, just before the big rock 'n' roll boom hit, and understanding his personal history (he got to meet Elvis when he was 10, and decided to become a musician after seeing the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show), it's clear that this is still a genuine set of lyrics.
To further pay tribute to the original spirit of rock, the Heartbreakers musically tap into the early days of the genre. Campbell's dual solo (surprisingly his first on the album, and therefore, his very first on a Heartbreakers record) appears to be very influenced by Chuck Berry. Earlier in the song, he and Tom lay down a barroom blues rhythm that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a mid-1950s record. Ron's rumbling bass line and Stan's steady beat are both appropriate, and they both deviate nicely at the beginning of the bridge to break up the monotony of the groove.
Unusually, Benmont is absent on the track; whereas his absence on "Hometown Blues" and "Strangered In The Night" makes sense, given that those songs were written and mainly recorded before the Heartbreakers' lineup was in place, "Anything That's Rock 'N' Roll" was written and recorded near the end of the album's sessions, by Mike's approximation. Considering its theme and feel, the song would have benefitted greatly from some Jerry Lee Lewis-style piano playing.
Benmont did end up contributing something along those lines in live performances. Like "The Wild One, Forever," "Anything That's Rock 'N' Roll" only got better as the band performed it live, most likely due to their growing confidence and familiarity with each other as a group. In addition to Benmont's playing, Mike's extended solos at the beginning and end of the song give the song a little extra punch, especially as he stretches them out beyond merely imitating Chuck Berry. Stan and Ron contribute great backing vocals on the record, but the energy they convey in concert is even better.
There's little to no chance that the Heartbreakers will ever perform it again, but "Anything That's Rock 'N' Roll" is a perfectly self-aware song and a fine inclusion on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. And whether Tom actually heard Mike's comment or not, Campbell was right about one thing: the song ended up becoming their first "hit," reaching No. 37 on the UK charts in 1977.

So far we've only been shown a battle with this colossus, they should show other screenshots than that!
More interesting to me is the Virginia picture (from Wild Arms 3) on the second photo. Does anyone know if the are going to do a remake (or even better a sequel) to this game?
A wild Arms game for the DS would be nice and Virginia looks pretty cute. I hope you can have the option to choose one of the two characters to start out in Blood Bahamut.

Product Description for the Electro-Voice Q66
The Electro-Voice Q66 II power amplifier is a versatile workhorse with 2 x 600W @ 4 ohms and 2 x 900W @ 2 ohms. It has plenty of power to drive a huge variety of speaker systems, including Sx300, ZX4, Sb122, and more.
Dynamic Headroom:
Electro-Voice's philosophy is that tonal performance of live music counts most; therefore, Electro-Voice amps are designed for dynamic headroom, meaning that each and every Electro-Voice amp—including the Q66 II—has at least 30% more output capability for short-term signals when compared to a long-term sine wave value. This additional headroom results in an amp that will, for example, allow for short term signal peaks of at least 780W when spec'd 600W. While dynamic headroom is audible when playing music through a sound system, another specification to observe is the increase in output power from an 8-ohm load to 4 ohms, and then down to 2 ohms. Of course, all Electro-Voice power amplifiers are designed to be absolutely stable into loads of 2 ohms.
Innovative Class-H power
With Q Series' efficient Class-H design, the permanent voltage rail is designed to cover the average music signal, rather than permanently supplying the voltage for maximum output power. If dynamic peaks require a higher output voltage, the voltage rail is switched to the maximum. This process saves up to 50% of the power consumption found in conventional amplifier design, and results in a dramatic reduction in heat output. The EV Q66 II and other power amps from the Q Series combine the sonic excellence and ruggedness of its Precision Series predecessors with Class-H innovation, all in a compact and affordable package.
Transient Response:
When processing dynamic signals, other important criteria are signal speed and dynamic distortion. For example, kick drum signals carry pulses of many frequencies as an overlay spectrum. Therefore, and in contrast to many other manufacturers, Electro-Voice specifies a lot more information on their amplifiers' dynamic behavior than just "slew rate" figures. Important tests referring to the amp's ability regarding multitone signal pulses are expressed by IMD-SMPTE measurements at high power levels. And, while IMD tests show the Intermodulation Distortion behavior (how much "sound" is added by the amplifier), DIM30 is the real spec for speed in an amplifier. All these tests are carried out in EV labs during an amplifier's design phase, to ensure maximum sonic performance. While these technical explanations appear very complex, they are clearly audible. Take a the Q44 II power amplifier and crank it up—you'll hear the difference immediately.
Protection Package and Dynamic Limiter
Q Series amplifiers benefit from decades of professional amplifier design, and all the expertise that has made EV amps the concert/touring standard is built into Q Series. This complete protection package includes sophisticated circuits against overheating, short circuit, DC output voltage, HF oscillation, back EMF (Electromotive Force), and destructive peak current. Furthermore, Q Series amps also protect your valuable loudspeakers with built-in dynamic limiters, preventing dangerous output clipping. The limiters immediately reduce amp gain when dynamic headroom is pushed to the limits at maximum output, keeping distortion below 1% in a situation that can otherwise cause a signal to clip, which is often fatal for woofers and drivers.

Indigenous peoples of the Arctic have been making art for thousands of years. In this exhibit, we will look at an ancient artifact fashioned by unknown hands, the work of the first generation of Inuit artists, and two contemporary Inuit artists whose work has become part of the international art world.
For most contemporary art critics, the term "decorative" is pejorative, implying that a work, while perhaps pretty, lacks content and depth. The decorative arts, it is commonly assumed, have two features that are at odds with what we think of as fine art: decorative art is typically associated with function – glasses, plates, bowls, jars, carpets, clothes – and its purpose is to project a style or mood rather than to transmit meaning and incite dialogue.
This Collection explores visual arts in Canada through articles, photo galleries, Heritage Minutes and more, and is presented in partnership with Charles Bronfman's Claridge Collection.

Founded by Olympic runner Lee Eisler and writer Nelson Gray in 1984, JumpStart Performance Society quickly made a name for itself with its dance-theatre works characterized by a potent mix of words and movement and its pursuit of theatrical applications for emerging communications technologies.
Film censorship has existed in Canada for almost as long as films have been shown. CENSORSHIP takes a variety of forms: customs officials may forbid entry to pornographic films, cities may ban films within their municipal limits and provincial attorneys general may lay criminal charges.

A pilotage area in the seaport of Murmansk is established by┬ĀCompulsory Regulations for the seaport of Murmansk, approved by FSE ŌĆ£Administration of the Seaport of MurmanskŌĆØ and dated 28.11.2007 (as amended and supplemented)┬Āand consists of 2 sectors: an inport pilotage sector and an outport pilotage one.┬Ā
Inport pilotage sector is limited by the seaport water area borders established by the┬ĀGovernment of the Russian Federation order dated 17.10.2009 Ōä¢ 1535-čĆ (as amended and supplemented).┬Ā
The outport pilotage sector is situated from parallel 69┬░12'00" N as far as the seaport water area northern border.┬Ā
The extent of the pilotage is 21 nautical miles.┬ĀEmbarkation for vessels calling at the seaport of Murmansk takes place in a point 69┬░12'00'' N 33┬░31'50" E, during storm weather ŌĆö to south-west from Salny Island (69┬░07'30" N 33┬░25'00" ąĢ) or in the Retinsky Cape area.┬Ā
Embarkation for vessels leaving the seaport or for shifting or other motion within the seaportŌĆÖs water area takes place in a vesselŌĆÖs dislocation point (terminal berths, anchorages, roadstead terminals).┬Ā
3. The pilotage services terms and conditions
According to the┬ĀCompulsory Resolutions on the seaport of Murmansk┬Āand┬ĀGeneral Regulations for the sea trade port of Kandalaksha, pilotages (outport and inport) for vessels calling at leaving the seaports of Murmansk and Kandalaksha respectively are mandatory.┬Ā
The following vessels are exempted from the pilotage:┬Ā
- vessels of the Russian Navy, Border Guard of Federal Security Service and single-purpose vessels and ships of other state agencies by the command authority presentation;┬Ā
- vessels constantly working within established pilotage area with captains who passed qualification examination and have sufficient work experience in command duty, except oil tankers with deadweight more┬Āthan 400 tons;┬Ā
- fishing fleet vessels within fishing vessels processing terminal water area;┬Ā
- small-size vessels;┬Ā
- when vesselŌĆÖs captain (senior assistant allowed to navigation in captainŌĆÖs absence), acquires a pilotage exemption certificate (PEC) on conclusion of qualification commission with the seaport of Murmansk captain in the chair.
The pilotage services in seaports of Murmansk are provided in accordance with Compulsory resolutions on the seaport of Murmansk requirements.┬Ā
Vessels calling at the seaport of Murmansk are supplied with Murmansk branch pilots on the basis of the ship ownerŌĆÖs or marine agentŌĆÖs┬Ārequests┬Āin the presidency order. When requests filed with violation of indicated terms or failed to be confirmed in due time or when vessels do not have a pilotage exemption certificate the services are provided far down on the priority, when free pilots are available.┬Ā
The pilotage requests are filed to the Murmansk branch by fax (+7 (8152) 48-04-80) or e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) by shipowner (his proxy) in the following terms:┬Ā
- when entering the port, 48 hours before arrival to the embarkation point, to be confirmed no later than 4 hours before stated time;┬Ā
- when service in the seaportŌĆÖs water area, 2 hours before navigation, if the operation is planned to be implemented from 10:00 till 17:00, and before 15:00 the current day, if the operation is planned to be implemented from 17:00 till 10:00 next day;┬Ā
- when leaving the seaport, 6 hours before departure, to be confirmed 2 hours before departure.┬Ā
The branch is not responsible for possible delays and vessel demurrage due to pilot waiting in the following cases:┬Ā
- if the pilotage request was filed out-of-date or the vessel arrived 2 hours late of stated time;┬Ā
- embarkation is impossible due to the storm weather (speed of wind is more than 15 m/s);┬Ā
- in the absence or discrepancy of the debarkation/embarkation point devices (discrepancy of drawbridges from the tug delivering the pilot or vice versa) to the labor protection and IMO requirements.┬Ā
A pilot arriving to the vessel produces a receipt confirming his right to implement the pilotage of the vessel, where the fact of the pilotage and possible commentaries to his work are put, to the captain. The receipts, filled in and signed by the vesselŌĆÖs captain, are the grounds for the pilotage fare calculation. The vesselŌĆÖs captain hands to the pilot an IMO established type pilot card with precise information about the vessel and informs the pilot on controllability features and the vesselŌĆÖs condition.┬Ā
When captain of vessel under the pilotage wonŌĆÖt follow pilotŌĆÖs recommendations, the latter (in thirds manŌĆÖs evidence) has the right to refuse the pilotage, having notified the Kola Bay VTS operator and demanding the captain to make a notice in log book and pilot receipt. However, the pilot has to stay aboard and give information on safety navigation on the captainŌĆÖs requirement. If the captain demands to resume the pilotage, the pilot must resume the pilotage.┬Ā
When mooring, the communication between pilot, tugboats and berths is implemented on the VHF channel 14.┬Ā

It was recently announced version 1.9 of gvSIG in alpha version, after testing it I have decided to leave some impression before forgetting them:
It is possible to either download a version with prerequisites, which weighs 103 MB for Windows and 116 MB for Linux. This is a good alternative if you do not have a 1.3 installation or, in case you have an install version working, it can be downloaded a version with no prerequisites that goes by 80 MB.
It's also available version 1.9 of the code.
I downloaded the version without prerequisites and it has happened to me that the installation left me hanging with the message:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:Documents and settings…
Apparently this is because some properties must be assigned to Java; these could be from duties until the signing of the letter of death, so to not complicate me I uninstalled the existing versions. Then when running Setup again urge you to review if requirements are needed and this installed the appropriate Java version … then everything has gone smoothly.
When installed, it has not created me the desktop icon or in Start menu (although I think that it asked me if I want it, and I said yes), so I had to create the shortcut from where it is installed.
C: Program Files gvSIG_1.9_alpha bin gvsig.exe
For this it is done "copy" to the file, then "paste shortcut"
When you open an existing project it has launched to me a profane message, apparently by the projection's type… but I do not think that is a permanent error.
Coordinate operation error: +proj=tmerc +lat_0=0.0 +lon_0=-3.0 +k=0.9996 +x_0=500000.0 +y_0=0.0 +ellps=intl +units=m to +proj=tmerc +lat_0=0.0 +lon_0=-87.0 +k=0.9996 +x_0=500000.0 +y_0=0.0 +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m :
I also think that now consumes more resources, it feels a little slow the process, in this regard they have announced there will be improvements in a matter of architecture … and they must considered it.
We can assume that this version will give much of itself, as more functionalities are being integrated gradually and will take maturity.
It is understood that this is a trial version, and soon we will have the gvSIG 2stable version, then the doubts that are coming to the mailing lists will be resolved… by the way, some simple banality like this character misplaced there.
Among the best features, of which I mentioned earlier something is the inclusion of the sextant in one click. Inside it there is much, since raster data conversion to vector until to hydrologic analysis.
But in addition to this is:
-Inclusion of TIN to create triangular meshes … I guess you can work contours (3D analysis …)
Tools for network analysis
Tools to convert raster to vector (arc scan …)
Topology inclusion
… Among many others, that we'll have time to talk
Appearance … much to do
A good step forward is what they have done, but I particularly think that a course of iconography would come well to graphic designers because we must remember what "icons" are and how such of them must lead to something, keeping graphic cleaning and corporate identity.
To make icons required criteria beyond making highly complex drawings in Corel Draw and then use Gimp to convert them into figures of 64 × 64. The use of shadows, glows and gradients must be questioned in buttons that just take one click, simplifying and invest more time on icons for "on mouse over" might be a good bet.
Again, nor is the designer shines with great works of art turned into figurines, we must recognize that we have gradually been having better graphics capabilities from the archaic created by paint brush with an 8x zoom but we should not misuse and pervert the original concept of "icon"
Here I leave some examples
It's a plane, no, a bird, no; it is … the command line
… F *, how couldn't I imagine it … if it seems … seems … what does it seem?
A printer, a war tank … failed, is the history
What happened … don't you see that it looks like the symbol of the microfilm stored in a cryptographer.
In general, the icons seem to be very dark, very strong linear edges and lack uniformity, see the spline with respect to the other creation objects. Neither is intended how will be seen as a screen with higher resolution and therefore smaller is used.
There are times when it is better to resemble the accepted conventions, such as "undo" and "redo" than to make these navigation arrows … * xtrax, and with an orange border …
As well as software development, in which features are being added to a general design, iconography must take into account an identity… if not, it will look like a Christmas tree to which you have been hanging figurines without criteria such as harmony, symmetry or movement.
But well, welcome to the good things that this version promises.

1 See the great king of Babel in these latter days of time,
Make a feast that's universal, all the nations drink her wine;
As they eat, drink, and revel in her lofty steeple hall,
God proclaims her desolation by His hand upon the wall.
'Tis the hand of God on the wall,
'Tis the hand of God on the wall;
Babylon the great is fallen, and we're fully saved in Jesus,
While that hand is writing on the wall.
2 All deceived and deceiving, see the city and her lords
Riot in their carnal pleasure, heeding not Jehovah's words;
For He speaks, now revealing mystic Babel's utter fall,
And the holy read the writing of their God upon the wall. [Refrain]
3 How the nations are drunken, and are sporting in their shame,
Even scoffing at our Savior, and profane His holy name;
Far more blind than Belshazzar, who so trembled with appal,
They still riot on to judgment, with their doom upon the wall. [Refrain]
4 h, the sin and confusion, oh, the vanity and pride,
Of the multitude of Sodom who in Babylon abide!
But all honor to Jesus! we have heard His angel's call,
And escaped the sure destruction that is written on the wall. [Refrain]
5 Hear the loud voice from heaven, "Come, my people, gather home!"
For to you the signs are given, that the Lord is near to come;
Now He shakes every nation, heed the warning, great and small,
For the wicked soon shall perish, say the hand upon the wall. [Refrain]
6 See the saints come to Zion and possess the holy land!
Hallelujah! shout the freedom! in the living God we stand;
Since we follow the Savior, love and serve Him Lord of all,
Babel's kingdom now is finished, says the hand upon the wall. [Refrain]

Here's Boardway's own words:
"I left work to meet up with some friends at Merkle's to watch the game, and as soon as I got to Wrigley the cops were already setting up the barricades. Just by the energy outside you could tell that if we won the whole place was going to erupt. We were still celebrating the second goal when the third one went in, and that last minute of play was the longest of my life. I stuck around just long enough for the obligatory "We Are The Champions" and one more round of "Chelsea Dagger" before I closed my tab and headed outside, two fresh beers hidden in the waistband of my pants. I wasn't outside for more than a minute before I could see the barricades shaking, and that's when I started filming - I needed to catch that on video for my Dad."

Hollywood Lotharios, call your agents.
Hugh Grant was apparently in "deep negotiations" to replace Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men for around $25 million per year, but Grant changed his mind owing to "creative differences." Fret not, Chuck Lorre: There are still plenty of other options. That said, holy crap, Hugh Grant would have been such a big get for that show! [Deadline]

The new Sightseeing feature in Revelation Online allows players to discover beautiful locations around Nuanor and earn achievements, rewards and various other benefits. How does this feature work then?
As described in the official post, players should keep an eye on those marked 'sightseeing spots' during the journey. These are represented by a film recorder icon that can be easily located on the mini-map. When players reach the marked location, a named NPC will stand there with the same icon above their names. Just talk to the NPC and then enjoy the cutscene.
Sightseeing in Nuanor will not only unlock certain achievements, but can also reward experience, Imperial Coins, or even +3 Potential (attributes used for character development) per sightseeing spot visited.

By Delegate Kathy J. Byron
22nd District
Richmond was cold and snowy this week, as it was in much of Virginia. As the hopes for those who dreamt of a mild winter faded, the General Assembly was busy and – in the Senate – pretty noisy. For me, though, the week featured two somewhat unusual "honors."
Life is a series of trade-offs.
You want that second piece of cheesecake? It'll cost you some extra time at the gym.
You want to stay up late watching Twilight Zone re-runs? You'll pay for that by feeling logy at work the next day.
Regrettably, not all of life's trade-offs are as obvious. Vaguely-perceived consequences of our decisions, however, can be just as acute in their impact.
How one felt about the president's State of the Union Address last week is no doubt colored by one's political point of view. But Barack Obama does in fact have a good argument for why things are getting better in the USA.
The country has come a good distance down the right road since the financial crisis of 2008.
For over 226 years the United States Constitution has served as the law of the land, preserving the rights and liberties that have made our nation the beacon of freedom it is today. These rights must be jealously guarded and not impeded by the federal government.
Snow came to Richmond this week. As is often the case around Capitol Square, the anticipation of the snow was a great deal more fearsome that the snow itself, which amounted to around an inch. As a result, the work here at the Capitol continued without interruption.

Bob McDonnell's first year after leaving office as Virginia governor wasn't supposed to be like this.
Instead of basking in the glow of a successful term as a high-profile governor who was on Mitt Romney's short list as VP, McDonnell faces a federal trial instead.
In New Jersey, this was supposed to be a positive year of transition for Chris Christie, parlaying an easy re-election as governor into a roll out in 2015 as a GOP presidential candidate.
There seems to be no end of the bad news for ObamaCare.
