Cool weather sets up perfect East Texas state park escape
Just recently, I was kayaking on B.A. Steinhagen Reservoir near Jasper and couldn't help but notice the number of tent and RV campers in the adjacent Martin Dies Jr. State Park. It was a cool Saturday morning and aside from folks cooking breakfast around their campsites, I saw hikers, bikers and lots of people on the water paddling rental canoes.
The great thing about living in East and Southeast Texas is that we have quick access to outdoor adventure in our many state parks. Three of the most popular quick escapes within a short drive from Beaumont are Lumberton's Village Creek State Park, Jasper's Martin Dies Jr. State Park and Huntsville State Park. They are very popular city-slicker escapes that offer a little bit of everything including waterfront camping.
One of the more unique things about Texas is that we have state parks, great state parks, scattered from one side of Texas to the other. And they offer more "green" outdoor activities than you can shake a stick at.
Texas State Parks director Brent Leisure encourages Texans to take advantage of the cooler weather to visit a state park. He notes that entrance and camping fees, State Park Pass purchases and patronizing state park stores all help fund state park operations.
"We understand that many Texans continue to experience difficult economic times," said Leisure, "but our state parks continue to offer an affordable, safe and family-friendly alternative to many other forms of entertainment and recreation. We, too, have had to tighten our belts due to shrinking budgets, but by modifying days and hours of operations at some parks, we have kept the lights burning at all of our state parks."
The best source of state park information can be found in the latest edition of the free 112-page Texas State Park Guide that has just now been released by TPWD.Leisure says the digest-size booklet puts at your fingertips everything you and your family need to know about more than 90 state parks and special park programs, such as the Geocache Challenge, free fishing and the Texas Outdoor Family camping program.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department also has created an online digital page-turner replica of the Texas State Park Guide. This will make it easier than ever to discover the amazing variety of state park destinations and special park interpretive programs that await today's adventurers.
"The new edition highlights dozens of park sites located near Texas' major metropolitan areas that are perfect for a relaxing day trip or an economical weekend getaway," says Leisure.
The park guide also includes information for those who prefer not to rough it in the great outdoors. State parks offer a diverse mix of "soft" accommodations, ranging from modified screened shelters, rustic bunkhouses and cabins to a sprawling, historic ranch house and full-service lodges.
For convenience, the park guide is broken down into the state's seven tourism regions that are easily located by flipping to the color-coded, centerfold Texas State Parks map. A brief snapshot of the outstanding features found at each park within each region provides photos and pertinent information about each site, including its GPS coordinates for the tech-savvy adventurer.
The Facilities & Activities Index at the back of the book provides a breakdown of what each site offers, including the types of campsites and trails to be found there. Book a campsite online at www.texasstateparks.org or make a camping reservation by calling (512) 389-8900.
Free copies of the Texas State Park Guide, sponsored by Toyota, can be picked up at any state park and TPWD offices.

Shrimp and Scallop Lasagna
By á-6718
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 1 cup grated Romano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 314 pound sea scallops, cut in half or quartered if very large
- 3/4 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 13 by 10-inch aluminum foil pan with vegetable oil cooking spray.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lasagna noodles until they are just done, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet and cook the onion over low heat until very soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute more. Over medium-low heat, stir in the flour with a whisk, then gradually add the half-and-half, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly before adding more. When the sauce has thickened to about the consistency of whipping cream, add the cheese and stir well. Add the salt and pepper and stir again. Add the scallops and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, then add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or just until the shrimp turn pink. Turn off the heat.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the sauce from the skillet into the prepared pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with 4 noodles, placing them side by side. Spoon 1/3 of the sauce over the noodles, distributing half of the seafood evenly. Layer 4 more noodles, 1/3 of the sauce, and remaining seafood. Cover with the last 4 noodles and the remaining sauce. (For the top layer, do not spoon any seafood on top of the noodles; just use the sauce.) Tuck in any edges of the noodles so they're all coated with sauce. Top with the Parmesan.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, uncovered, until bubbly. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

Talk To al-Qaeda: Says Top British Cop
When asked by The Guardian whether Britain should attempt to talk to al-Qaeda, he said: "If you want my professional assessment of any terrorism campaign, what fixes it is talking and engaging and judging when the conditions are right for that to take place..."
[International: Confronting al-Qaeda]
A top ranking British police officer has done what was hitherto seen as a career ending move by openly suggesting that the time was right to talk to al-Qaeda.
Chief Constable Sir Hugh Orde, head of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, is convinced that policing in itself will not defeat terrorist who are hell-bent on carrying out their actions by any means necessary.
The senior police officer, who is the frontrunner to replace the current Metropolitan Police Chief Sir Ian Blair, who is due to stand down in February 2010, speaks from his experiences of combating the Irish Republican Army (IRA) during decades of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland-and the IRA's bombing campaign on mainland England.
When asked by The Guardian whether Britain should attempt to talk to al-Qaeda, he said: "If you want my professional assessment of any terrorism campaign, what fixes it is talking and engaging and judging when the conditions are right for that to take place. Is that a naïve statement? I don't think it is…It is the reality of what we face. If somebody can show me any terrorism campaign where it has been policed out, I'd be happy to read about it, because I can't think of one."
The "War on Terror" has made countries that had, prior to the Iraqi invasion, felt very secure and not threatened by any al-qaeda inspired terror activities, suddenly see themselves as being at greater risk from attacks because of their support for the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, critics contend. Some of these countries have consequently withdrawn their forces from Iraq – Poland and Spain-comes to mind. Recently, the Australian Prime Minister Kevin Ruud- fulfilled an election promise of bringing home from Iraq that countries combat unit. On Sunday around 500 Australian fighting forces pulled out of their bases in southern Iraq. They have now been replaced by American forces.
The battle will not be won militarily – might-is-not-right, in this case, critics say. The tactics employed by al-Qaeda reflects their acknowledgement and acceptance that their enemy is vastly superior in conventional warfare---that is why they don't gather in large groups for long periods and they don't have defined battle "front-lines" or barracks, where they would be sitting ducks for the highly sophisticated computer-age-generation American military hardware, the critics contend.
Instead what they do is mingle with their enemy-masquerading as ordinary citizens - then suddenly hit you hard with a "sucker punch" before vanishing into the crowd-because they usually dress in civilian clothing-depending on the mission they are carrying out-they sometimes wear the same uniform as other law enforcement personnel in Iraq.
The battle for the hearts-and-minds of the Iraqi people will also be a hard task to achieve as long as Tanks and Humvees-with their amour piercing mounted Gatling guns-are rolling in the background, the critics contend. Sir Orde said: "If you look at some of the biggest risk my people have taken, it is talking to people who historically they would not have dreamed of talking to. Were we going to actually police our way out of the troubles? No. Are we actually going to police our way out of the current threat? No." He added: "It means thinking the unthinkable," the Guardian reports. The harder al-qaeda are hit the more resolute they become-their leaders are killed but the vacuum is immediately filled.
Moreover, many Muslims have for a long time seen this as a war on Islam-and nothing to do with terrorism anymore.

N.J. island residents upset with delays after Sandy
SEASIDE PARK, N.J. -- Almost two weeks after the worst storm to hit the New Jersey shore, cleanup is well underway in mainland communities and Gov. Chris Christie says rebuilding starts now. But residents of the tony Seaside Heights barrier island, where damage was devastating, have yet to begin airing out houses and putting out sodden furnishings.
Christie's decision to shut down island access to all but recovery and emergency crews has angered many who say the policy is heavy-handed and endangers their property and livelihood.
Seaside Park Mayor Robert Matthies put it plainly: "If we're ready, why can't we come back?"
Further up the island in the borough of Seaside Heights, the damage was much greater, but the state's response was a one-size-fits-all approach to lock down the entire island, Matthies said.
Joanne Delancey-Stack, finance director for the Ocean County Board of Realtors, lives in Seaside Heights year-round and owns a 16-unit apartment building there. She stayed on the island until last Wednesday when she left to go to work and pay employees. Now she cannot return.
The borough survived the worst natural disaster in 100 years but the governor's policies are "creating a man-made disaster," she said.
Christie dismissed such talk. "I'm not going to let people back on this island until it's safe," he said.
"We can't just ignore what the state's engineers are telling us," said Debbi Winogracki, spokeswoman for Toms River, which has jurisdiction over parts of the barrier island. Many houses are still too dangerous to enter, and too many roads are impassable or compromised by sink holes, she said.
Renee Amellio, spokeswoman for New Jersey Natural Gas, said gas lines to Seaside Heights and Long Beach islands were ruptured by storm surge and have been shut down. Water has infiltrated the system.
"We have to go in there and evaluate which section of pipe was damaged and can be salvaged and which sections can be rebuilt," she said. "We're working around the clock to get the system restored."
Anthony Conselice, a real estate agent who represents 350 properties for rental and sale, is worried about having time to get ready for the 2013 tourist season. Three sales were halted by the storm, and now the banks want to reappraise the properties. Without access for appraisers or anyone else, Conselice thinks the deals will fall through. He asked, "How can I report back to the owners?"
Most of the state had power restored by Sunday night, the Associated Press said. But thousands of homes on the barrier islands were deemed too dangerous to power up.

From bluetech to biotech, these startups are enacting solutions to local and global challenges.
Our growth is a testament to our belief that innovation can — and should — make the world a better place.
More space, more minds, more innovation in the center of Kendall Square.
CIC announced today that it has closed a $58 Million equity investment from European partner HB Reavis. CIC will use the proceeds to expand its network of science and technology innovation campuses throughout the world.
At CIC Miami, our mission is to change the world through innovation by developing ecosystems that allow exceptional entrepreneurs to create new products and companies better and faster. We enable startups to connect, collaborate and grow by building resource-rich communities. Since opening in Miami in October 2016 as part of the Converge Miami innovation district, we have tried to not only become a center of entrepreneurial and innovative activity in our city, but also to reflect the artistic personality and dynamism that Miami is known for. As such, we have worked with numerous local craftsmen, artists, and designers for both permanent installations and temporary activations of our space."
"As with any good metropolis, Miami's startup success is scattered across a couple key neighborhoods, like Wynwood, Brickell, and Lincoln Road. But a focal point has emerged inside a single building on the border of Overtown and Allapattah.
In less than a year, Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC) Miami, located in the old UM Life Science & Technology Park building off I-95, has grown into a launch pad for some of the city's most promising startups."

After the award of his doctorate Kneser remained at Göttingen. There, after one year, he was appointed to a teaching post on the strength of impressive work determining all the regular families of curves on closed surfaces. His first student was Baer and, at Göttingen, Kneser supervised Baer's doctoral thesis on the classification of curves on surfaces. Kneser did not remain long at Göttingen for, in 1925, he succeeded Radon to a chair in Greifswald.
Kneser spent twelve years at Greifswald before he accepted the chair at Tübingen in 1937. He played an important role in assisting Wilhelm Süss to found the Mathematical Research Institute at Oberwolfach in 1944. When the survival of the Institute became increasingly difficult in the years following World War II, it was Kneser's support which proved significant in the battle to retain this wonderful asset for mathematical research. Large numbers of mathematicians like myself [EFR] who have benefited from visits to this unique conference centre must have said a quiet thank you to Süss, Kneser and their colleagues. When Süss died in 1958 it was Kneser who took over the scientific leadership of the Oberwolfach Institute.
Describing the areas of mathematics on which Kneser worked is difficult since his work was so wide ranging throughout mathematics. In fact he made a very definite decision after completing his doctoral dissertation that he would refuse to specialise. As Wielandt writes in [2]:-
He wanted to gain an overview over and an opinion on all parts of his science and be able to do research in each area. He would get close to the realisation of this, in his words, bold desire to an extent that filled his colleagues with amazement, but at times threatened to discourage his students.After his doctoral work on quantum theory he turned toward topology and the theory of analytic functions in several indeterminates. While at Greifswald he really achieved his aim of working in all areas of mathematics. He published 30 papers in the time he held the chair there, publishing important contributions in every area of current interest.
Kneser published on sums of squares in fields, on groups, on non-Euclidean geometry, on Harald Bohr's almost periodic functions, on iteration of analytic functions, on the differential geometry of manifolds, on local uniformisation and boundary values. He succeeded in pushing forward Weierstrass and Hadamard's ideas to open up the area of the value distribution of meromorphic functions. Kneser, writing of his work on this last topic said:-
I hope that this theory will also prove fruitful for the special functions used in analysis, this has to be required of a new theory, in particular, if one considers that the general theory of rational functions of one indeterminate came from the treatment of special functions, namely the gamma and sigma functions by Weierstrass and of the Riemann zeta function by Hadamard.After Kneser moved to Tübingen the emphasis in his work changed. Although he still produced papers of great significance, he now became interested in a variety of other topics related to the teaching and the relation of mathematics to other sciences. It was not just the relation between mathematics and the physical sciences that fascinated him. He now became interested in the mathematical theory of economics and of sociology. As a mathematical basis of these topics he studied applications to them of game theory.
Still, despite his ever widening range of activities such as organising teaching seminars and courses for school teacher of mathematics, his research continued to answer fundamental questions. For example he produced a beautiful solution to the functional equation f ( f (x) ) = ex which he published in 1950, and the deep understanding he achieved of the strange properties of manifolds without a countable basis of neighbourhoods between 1958 and 1964.
Wielandt comments in [2] on Kneser's influence and personality:-
The high reputation, which Kneser enjoyed as a mathematician with an unusually broad horizon, predetermined him to take over tasks with a wide area of influence; despite his rather shy nature he never avoided these responsibilities. For many years he made his well-informed judgement available to mathematical publications as editor: to the Mathematische Zeitschrift, Archiv der Mathematik and the Aequationes Matheamticae.He received many honours. He was elected President of the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung and served on the executive committee of the International Mathematical Union. His work is summed up in [2]:-
Kneser served his science for years with his vision, care and tactfulness...Hellmuth Kneser was the son of Adolf Kneser. Martin Kneser, another mathematician, is Hellmuth Kneser's son.

Heathy cooking: Get hooked
My first cooking lessons were given to me by my father, who (happily) fried everything. I wish I could say I've come a long way since then, but the fact that I'm on a first-name basis with the pizza guy proves otherwise. (Paul? It's me, Beth.) So at age 30, my slowing metabolism and I went in search of a healthier way of eating at the Eat Well, Feel Well Culinary School at Red Mountain Spa in St. George, Utah. My mission: Learn easy ways to fix light, tasty meals at home. For me, this felt like my own personal culinary Mount Everest. But in four days, executive chef Chad Luethje taught me key kitchen skills that totally made over my diet—while leaving ample room for a low-impact dessert that tastes authentically rich. Healthy cooking now feels almost effortless, and it can for you, too. Give the techniques here a try, and put them to use in the accompanying spa recipes, and I guarantee you'll gain confidence in the kitchen—and even lose a few pounds!
Make a tasty diet dressing
Salad dressing has derailed at least seven of my diets. Fat-free varieties are either bitter or icky sweet, so I end up skipping salads altogether. The spa version uses thickened nonfat vegetable stock, which uncannily resembles emulsified olive oil, as a base. Soon you'll be buying greens in bulk and jeans in a smaller size. Try it in Red Chile and Pecan Slaw.
1. Stir 1/2 cup vegetable stock (use a 32-oz carton and look for a nonfat variety, preferably one low in sodium) with 2 tbsp cornstarch in a measuring cup until blended (no clumps).
2. Bring 28 oz leftover stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to a simmer and slowly whisk in stock-cornstarch mixture. Stir stock rapidly as it thickens.
3. Stir until stock is the consistency of olive oil. (It should cling to the back of a spoon.) Cool to room temperature, skim off and discard any film on top. Makes 18 oz thickened stock.
Spa-chef bonus tip Freeze stock in an ice-cube tray; mix one cube (thawed) with 1 tbsp vinegar, Dijon mustard and herbs to taste for one serving.
Slice your way slim
Think chopping veggies is tedious? I did, too—until I learned these professional techniques, which apply to most firm veggies. Now I've never eaten more plants, and I find my busy hands don't wander into bags of chips. Master these knife skills and you can easily double your veggie intake. Try it in Grilled Pork Loin With Fire-Roasted Pineapple Salsa.
1. Slice off both ends of pepper; stand it upright and cut down one side, top to bottom. Unroll; slice out veins and seeds. As you work, the top of the knife handle should rub the bottom of your index finger.
2. Use a cleaver to cut pepper into 4 sections and stack in twos, skin down. Make a claw with hand holding pepper, curling fingertips so they secure the veggie firmly. Tuck thumb under fingers to prevent accidents.
3. With knife tip touching cutting board, rock blade down, forward, up and back to cut thin strips. Use area of blade close to handle to gain more power. Turn slices 90 degrees and chop again to dice finely.
Spa-chef bonus tip Use a big cleaver and your hand won't hit the board as you work. Plus, the wide blade doubles as a tray to transport veggies.
Sizzle off fat
I paid for college by waiting tables, and it cost me 21 extra pounds, thanks to postshift sauté-station meals. I've avoided sautéing since. Mistake! That ladle of oil my coworkers would dump in? Unnecessary. Luethje keeps oil in a spray bottle: Two pumps (less than 1 tsp) coat a pan; you don't need more. Sautéing intensifies flavor with little fat. Try it in Sonoran Shrimp Scampi.
1. Heat a sauté pan to medium high. Spritz with vegetable oil cooking spray just before you add ingredients (too soon and the oil may smoke). The food should sizzle when it hits, creating a flavor-sealing sear.
2. Stir ingredients, or flip to heat more evenly. Think circular motion: Gently jerk the pan forward and up to get the food right above the lip, then circle back to catch it. Practice with a cold pan and bread.
3. When the ingredients reach the desired doneness, add a splash of wine, fruit juice or stock; scrape browned bits off the bottom of the pan; simmer to reduce. Add juice or stock to create a flavorful sauce.
Spa-chef bonus tip Place dense veggies like carrots in pan first (they take longest to cook), then meat. Save juicy fruit for last, as liquid cools the pan.
Savor healthy sweets
Say the word phyllo and I hear fattening, as in strudel and spinach pie. In reality, the pastry is your ticket to healthy indulgence. Each sheet is a slim 57 calories and can be filled with fruit, veggies, even lean meat. Don't let phyllo's hard-to-work-with rep scare you. It's like a difficult but fair boss—tough until you know the tricks, then liberally rewarding. Try it in Strawberry Cheesecake Cookie Stacks.
1. Phyllo dries out quickly, so set out everything you need, then open the package. Drag the top sheet off the pile and onto a dry cutting board. Roll the rest up in its wax paper; cover with a damp cloth.
2. To prevent drying, coat with canola oil or vegetable oil cooking spray (use it to repair tears, too). Sprinkle with a spice or crushed nuts (try cinnamon or almonds) for flavor and a pretty, flecked look.
3. Repeat with each layer. The more you stack, the flakier your pastry. For plain cookies, stack 4 or 5 sheets; cut into squares, brush the top with egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350° for 5 to 7 minutes.
Spa-chef bonus tip Be sure fillings are precooked and drained; raw veggies, for instance, steam as the dough bakes, and the water turns the phyllo soggy.
Slice your fruit right
Before my culinary awakening, I bought wash-and-eat fruit such as apples (yawn). Getting at thick-skinned fruit seemed like too much effort. But this versatile technique makes all sorts of fruit and new, tasty recipes accessible. Now I top meat with fresh relish so sweet that after dinner, dessert doesn't cross my mind. Usually.
1. Slice off both ends of pineapple, then stand it upright. Carefully cut off the rind, or skin, in sections, following the curve of the fruit as much as possible.
2. With pineapple upright, cut it into quarters so you're left with 4 tall triangular pieces. On each piece, slice away the core (the pointy "tip" of each triangular piece).
3. Once cored, lay each piece of the fruit flat on cutting board to cube or dice. Chop 2 to 4 sections at once for speedier slicing. While cutting, keep fingers curled in a claw.
Spa-chef bonus tip Use a serrated bread knife to make neat, clean slices when you're working with squishy produce. The knife is less likely to slip and slice more than the fruit!

I was only at Jamboree for the morning. My husband was picking me up at 11:30 so we could stop for lunch and then drive to Temecula for an early dinner with son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. And today was "60's day." There were lots of tie-died shirts. I couldn't find flowers for my hair, but I did wear a peasant skirt and blouse, similar to what I wore in the 60's. I just was never into the tie-died. Many peace signs were shown throughout the morning.
So, I packed up everything so that I could go to two sessions and then just pick up my luggage to check out at 11:30.
I chose to attend a session that was not videoed. Stephen Morse presented a case study. He used online resources and accomplished a lot in 4 days. I was reminded of the many ways his web site can help: OneStep genealogy. I am definitely not using it enough. I didn't go to Dawn Thurston's "Turn Your Genealogy Data into a Fascinating Family History." This was videoed and I ordered it and it's being shipped to me.
This time I chose for the same reason as above. Paula Stewart-Warren presentation was on "…Hands On Research Planning." I m looking forward to getting this one in the mail also, because I ordered it also. I did attend Cyndi Ingle's talk on "The Internet: Lower your Expectations to Raise Your Research Potential." What a lot of great suggestions. Also at this time period was the Heirloom Roadshow presided over by Denise Levenick which I'm sure was great. Also, there were two different talks about writing, which we all need to do more often.
So, l had to leave. I missed the 60s photo which looked like fun.
Sunday afternoon there were more sessions on DNA and writing/publishing. You could get information about researching in Israel and Ireland and "The Ohio Country" as well as at Historical societies, GenealogyBank and Ancestry. So, still lots of choices.
I'm home. It was a great 4 days. I was tired. Would I go back? Of course! Would I encourage you to attend? Absolutely!!! And if you can't attend, I would like to suggest that you become a member of SCGS and take advantage of their wonderful webinars and videos.

Statement on
Auditing Standards
Issued by the Auditing Standards Board
November 1979 25
AICPA American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants
The Relationship of Generally
Accepted Auditing Standards to
Quality Control Standards
( Supersedes Statement on Auditing Standards No. 4, Quality Control Considerations
for a Firm of Independent Auditors) 1
1. The independent auditor is responsible for compliance with
generally accepted auditing standards in an audit engagement. Rule
202 of the Rules of Conduct of the Code of Professional Ethics of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants requires members
to comply with such standards when associated with financial
2. A firm of independent auditors also needs to comply with generally
accepted auditing standards in conducting an audit practice.
Thus, a firm should establish quality control policies and procedures
to provide it with reasonable assurance of conforming with generally
accepted auditing standards in its audit engagements. The nature and
extent of a firm's quality control policies and procedures depend on
factors such as its size, the degree of operating autonomy allowed its
personnel and its practice offices, the nature of its practice, its organization,
and appropriate cost- benefit considerations.
1The elements of quality control identified in SAS No. 4 have been incorporated in
the body of Statement on Quality Control Standards 1, System of Quality Control
for a CPA Firm, issued by the AICPA Quality Control Standards Committee— the
senior technical committee of the Institute designated to issue pronouncements on
quality control standards.

Please do NOT post in this thread. It is for reading only
Beta released sections of the Translation Project
Scenario 1: Chapter 1 Only
Scenario 2: Chapter 1 Only
Scenario 3: No Chapters
Please refer to this topic if you have any questions or queries regarding the Shining Force 3 Translation Project.
If you cannot find an answer to your question, please feel free to post a new topic.
1. What is the Shining Force 3 Translation Project?
The Shining Force 3 Translation Project is a fan-based project engaged in the translation of a Sega Saturn game named Shining Force 3. Even though Sega did do a translation, it was only for the first Scenario (there are three Scenario?s altogether). The Sega Saturn was at the end of its life, and Sega didn?t feel there was a need to cough up the money in order to pay for the final two Scenarios? to be translated. Because of this, they also purposely mistranslated a lot of the first Scenario, to make it seem like it was ?complete.? Because of this void, a group of us fans have joined together in order to provide an English patch for each of the three scenario?s, to correct the translational errors in Scenario 1, but to provide a complete English translation of Scenario 2, Scenario 3 and a special, final disc named the Premium Disc, which was only issued to those who sent 3 special ?proof of purchase? tags to Camelot (the official coders of the game), which now goes for sale on EBay for up to $100.
2. How does the English Patch work?
The English Patch works by taking the original disc?s (Scenario 1, 2, 3 or the PD) and creating an ISO file of them, whilst replacing the Japanese files from the original disc with English ones in the ISO. This ISO can then be burned to a CD and played on a Sega Saturn using either the Swap trick (search YouTube for Sega Saturn Swap Trick to find lots of video?s showing how this is done), or on a Sega Saturn that contains the Mod Chip, that allows burned CD?s to play on an official Sega Saturn (do not ask about how this is done - it is illegal and this Website does not in any way, shape or form endorse or encourage illegal activities), or using one of the several Sega Saturn Emulators, such as SSF, GiriGiri, or Cassini.
3. How far along the Translation are you?
Please refer to the thread named the Progress Report in the Shining Force 3: Translation Project sub-forum. This thread is updated regularly, if there has been any such progress in the translation.
Note: Any threads asking about how far along or complete the Translation Project is will be locked and deleted. There is no need to constantly ask this question when the Progress Report thread already answers this question for you.
4. When is an updated patch coming out?
We aren't working to a set time limit, so patches are released sporadically, and only when it is felt that the patch will add a significant update to the already released patch. Please don't post topics or posts asking when a new patch will be coming out. They come out, when they come out.
5. How do I patch my official Scenario 1, 2, 3 and PD Disc?s?
The first thing to note is that the patch for Scenario 1 will only work on US or PAL Shining Force 3: Scenario 1 discs. THE PATCH WILL NOT WORK WITH THE JAPANESE SCENARIO 1.
With regards to how you patch your discs, please refer to the README file that is created when you download the SF3Patch.exe file from the Shining Force 3 Translation Project FTP. It explains everything you need to know with regards to applying the English Patch.
6. How do I play the English Patched ISO?s on my Sega Saturn Emulator?
Each Emulator should come with its own ReadMe file on how to play Sega Saturn games on it. Please refer to them before asking a question here. Although SFC forum member and Shining Force 3: Translation Project team member Lord Oddeye has put together a quick SSF Emulator Configuration Guide here. Please follow the instructions there on how to play Shining Force 3 on the SSF Emulator without hitches.
7. I have found a translation error/spelling mistake/incorrect grammar/bug/etc; who do I notify?
Unless your error/bug is in a section that has been released as a Beta, then there is no need to tell anyone about it. Each section of the Translation goes through a rigorous review before it is released as a Beta; any places that have not been released as a Beta have not gone through the official review, and are more or less a preview so that the game can be more or less playable. If you do find an error in an officially released Beta section, then there will have already been a topic made regarding the Beta section, so please post a message about the error/bug in there. There is no need to create another, separate topic with regards to your specific error/bug that you have discovered. All errors/bugs found in Beta sections will be fixed as soon as possible from the point of time when the error/bug has been brought to light. Saying that, there is only one error that we should be notified about, whether its a Beta or Non-beta released section: these are errors that make the game crash completely. Please notify us about all such ?fatal errors?, so that they can be fixed pronto.
8. I have a problem playing my Patched file. What can I do?
First of all, please make sure that you have checked that it is not a hardware/Emulator problem. If it is not, please re-download the latest patch files from the FTP and re-patch your disc, and try again. If you are still having a problem, make sure whether it is in a Beta released section, or a Non-Beta released, section. If it is in a Beta-released section, then please post a message in the topic dedicated to that section. If it is in a Non-Beta released section, then just use your original Shining Force 3 disc to go past the error/bug, then save, and then re-use your patched file. Again, to repeat; DO NOT POST NEW TOPICS REGARDING ERRORS/BUGS (except Fatal) FOUND IN NON-BETA RELEASED SECTIONS. Thank you.
9. I?d like to help the Translation Project; who do I notify?
The Shining Force 3: Translation Project is always looking for people to help with what is a very long process. Although all we really need now is Japanese to English translators, and a plethora of Beta-testers, to test each Beta-released section in as many different ways possible to check that there are no serious errors before the section is released to the public. Please post a message in this topic if you would like to help. You should get a rapid response from one of the current English Patch team.
This topic may include updates from time to time

Transavia Grand Slam 2014 in three World Championship cities
This new innovative concept is the first time an FIVB beach volleyball event will be held in multiple cities, although the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships 2001 were held in multiple Lake Wörthersee villages around Klagenfurt, giving more people the opportunity to attend and with the same format planned for the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships 2015, providing a very useful testing ground for certain aspects of the organisation and giving more people the chance to participate in the FIVB's premier beach volleyball event, which is staged every two years.
Having hosted four FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Opens in The Hague, the Netherlands staged their first Grand Slam last year, with a sequel set for this summer. The Transavia Grand Slam is the stage at which the best beach volleyball players in the world compete wand for the Netherlands' Alexander Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen, the tournament will be their first major international appearance in front of their home crowd as reigning world champions following their triumph in Stare Jablonki last year.
The qualification rounds of the Transavia Grand Slam will be played on July 15 in Scheveningen in The Hague. The next day, the qualified teams will move out to the other Dutch cities for the pool phase on Wednesday, July 16 and Thursday, July 17 with the exact competition schedule still to be ratified. The hosting cities are all assigned to host pools with six matches per pool every day in beach stadiums with a minimum of 1,000 seats.
The knock out phase of the Transavia Grand Slam will be staged in The Hague Beach Stadium in Scheveningen from Friday 18 to Sunday July 20.
The hofvijver
The Board of Aldermen of the Hague approved the realization of a beach volleyball stadium in 'the Hofvijver' (small pond in the centre of The Hague) during the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships 2015. The temporary stadium, with a capacity of 5,500 seats, will host various pool phase matches, all semifinals and the World Championship finals. The eye-catching stadium, in a spectacular setting next to the Dutch parliament, will be the epicentre of the beach volleyball world for more than a week.
Beach volleyball has a tradition of stadiums on special locations. The beach volleyball tournament at the London Olympics was played at Horse Guards Parade and in Rio de Janeiro the teams strive for the Olympic title on the famous beach of Copacabana. Of course, there is also Bondi Beach at the 2000 Olympic Games and Champ de Mars in Paris as previous iconic venues but still, the scope of a stadium on the water is a great coup for the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships of 2015 in the Netherlands.

Public Affairs (B.S.)
The Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs is intended for individuals called upon to manage in the arenas of government, non profits, or business. These generalist managers must synthesize many forms of knowledge derived from government, economics, sociology, and other fields, and must apply that knowledge creatively to meet the varied and multiple challenges of public administration. The ability to understand the substance of policy and program issues; the ability to grasp the administrative, political, and ethical implications imbedded in them; and the ability then to act upon the issues with effect, together define the worth of contemporary managers.
The Public Affairs program promotes acquisition of knowledge and skills essential to the tasks of identification, analysis, design implementation, supervision, evaluation, communication, and other key functions that are integral components of management careers in federal, state, and local governments; criminal justice; in social service, education, community development, arts and other nonprofit organizations; and in business firms.

JCSO searching for missing teen
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is searching for a teen who went missing in the early morning hours of Saturday, July 30. Sharon West, a 14-year-old living in the Labelle-Fannett area, was last seen at the home of a family friend she was staying with around 2 a.m. Saturday morning. She was reported missing July 30 around 8 p.m.
Deputies said West is about 5-feet-6-inches tall and weighs around 115 lbs. Her most distinctive feature is deep red hair with purple coloring on the underside of her hair. She also has a mole below her left eye.
"She was last seen around 2 a.m.," said Deputy Rod Carroll of JCSO. "The adults went to bed and she stayed up texting. Some of her friends have come forward but no one knows where she went. No one talked to her and can tell us what happened. This isn't a typical missing person case - a lot of times, they missing juvenile will tell their friends where they are going and the friends can tell us, 'Oh, yeah, they went to Galveston; they went to Dallas.' But this isn't the case."
Though the circumstances surrounding West's disappearance are odd in relation to other missing persons cases, Carroll said there is no way the Sheriff's Office can rule whether it is an incident where West has run away or if foul play is involved.
"Most times, the juvenile will have an argument with an adult and leave to go stay somewhere else," he said. "We haven't been able to connect all the dots like we could with a typical missing person."
Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is looking for any lead that may help them find the missing teen.
"We have to be reactionary with this. The quicker we react to a lead, the closer we are on her trail, the sooner we can find her," said Carroll.
Anyone who has information to West's whereabouts is asked to call Detective Gary Jones at (409) 835-8411, or contact a law enforcement agency by calling 9-1-1.

Authors: Petruccioli, Maurizio; Frascono, Marco; Quaratino, Daniele; Covino, Stefano; Favero, Gabriele; Mazzei, Franco; Federici, Federico; D'Annibale, Alessandro Abstract: A manganese peroxidase (MnP) isoenzyme from Panus tigrinus CBS 577.79 was produced in a benchtop stirred-tank reactor and purified to apparent homogeneity. The purification scheme involving ultrafiltration, affinity chromatography on concanavalin–A Sepharose, and gel filtration led to a purified MnP, termed ''MnP II,'' with a specific activity of 288 IU mg-1 protein and a final yield of 22%. The enzyme turned out to be a monomeric protein with molecular mass of 50.5 kDa, pI of 4.07, and an extent of N-glycosylation of about 5.3% of the high-mannose type. The temperature and pH optima for the formation of malonate manganic chelates were 45°C and 5.5, respectively. MnP II proved to be poorly thermostable at 50 and 60°C, with half-lives of 11 min and 105 s, respectively. Km values for H2O2 and Mn2+ were 16 and 124 lM, respectively. Although MnP II was able to oxidize veratryl alcohol and to catalyze the Mn2+ -independent oxidation of several phenols, it cannot be assigned to the versatile peroxidase family. As opposed to versatile peroxidase oxidation, veratryl alcohol oxidation required the simultaneous presence of H2O2 and Mn2+; in addition, low turnover numbers and Km values higher than 300 lM characterized the Mn2+ -independent oxidation of substituted phenols. Kinetic properties and the substrate specificity of the enzyme markedly differed from those reported for MnP isoenzymes produced by the reference strain P. tigrinus 8/18. To our knowledge, this study reports for the first time a thorough electrochemical characterization of a MnP from this fungus.

I James we ... learned a lot about New York University ... back when Jack Lew was getting nominated for Treasury secretary lots of ... sweetheart deals ... no this ... is investigating and when you what's going on was specifically I Chuck Grassley Iowa Senator he's the ranking member of the finance committee and ... looking at blue situation where he gets this as six hundred eighty five thousand dollar severance when the leaves voluntarily to go work at the ... bank to make more money in a one point four million dollar sweetheart loan mortgage ... assistance so hundred thousand dollar annual salary ... and I sat in it that ... we should be in the nonprofit sector it make the big box and ... Mr. Grassley curious about what else is being gone out of NYU so he's he's looking generally be on that Mr. Lew obviously get paid very well at that ... and that what you generally and it is a letter from a few days ago we sent to the university quotes in your times the NYU provided ... more than seventeen million dollars in real estate in severance to just four employee unbelievable we've got a chart here on and when you sweetheart love to put up on the screen shows the average loan is more than four hundred ... thousand dollars to take it buys you a studio in Manhattan and chains or ... somewhere around their wallets ... again as you point out it's a tough life in the nonprofit sector over the league this institution gets ... benefits under the tax code because it is supposed to be a charitable organization it's supposed to be about ... educating students as opposed to enriching administrators and that's ... that's really the focus of Mr. Grassley is in court here and ... and I see you later ... insisted that White has added difficulty explaining some of this in his era backlash on campus of airlines are using the professors and students in the U S one the highest tuitions in the country now ... that the school says often so that suggests that this is because ... they don't have the out ... of a high endowment relative to other similar schools but they're ... they're ... putting themselves in the category of Buy ...

REXUS 11 and 12 students met the challenges of a real launch
Launching rockets, as well as engaging in any space mission, is always a tricky matter, and space engineers are very aware of it.
Likewise, the REXUS 11 & 12 students professionally withstood a partial malfunctioning of the REXUS 12 sounding rocket and the consequent delay of the REXUS 11 launch, decided in order to allow technical investigations to take place.
The final preparations for the first launch began as normal on Sunday 18 March, when the sounding rocket was rolled out to the launch pad and mounted onto the launch rail. After this, the REXUS 12 teams were assembled for the so-called Flight Readiness Review, where they give the final go-ahead for launch.
Once the safety officers at the Esrange Science Centre in Kiruna, Sweden, had given the go-ahead, the teams set up their ground stations at the site. On 19 March, a full test countdown was conducted, with the safety systems still installed in each experiment.
The so-called 'hot'- or real - countdown began at 13:00 on 19 March, culminating in the launch of REXUS 12 two hours later. After a flight lasting approximately 7 minutes, the recovery system was activated as normal. Unfortunately an anomaly occurred which prevented the parachute recovery system from deploying properly.
As a result, the experiment modules hard landed, although the impact was partly cushioned by a thick bank of snow. The retrieval helicopter was able to locate the experiment modules which were then collected and returned back to the student teams, so that they were able to analyse their hardware and the data recorded during the flight.
The two ESA-sponsored experiments on board REXUS 12 experienced mixed fortunes. A loss of telemetry led to concern over whether the Suaineadh experiment had correctly deployed its space web from the spinning central assembly. However, the data recovered from their experiment memory cards enabled the students to confirm that the central hub and daughter (CHAD) section of the experiment were deployed outside the rocket and that the radio communications between the CHAD and the experiment module on the rocket had functioned properly, enabling the transfer and the recording of telemetry data and pictures.
In particular, several pictures were retrieved by the Suaineadh students, including photos of the Earth surface as seen from CHAD after it separated from the rocket. Unfortunately, the CHAD module has yet to be recovered, as its GPS signal was not received by the retrieval helicopter crew.
No results were obtained from the REDEMPTION experiment due to an unexplained power failure that occurred at the moment of lift-off. Nonetheless, the majority of the mechanical systems - including the foam deployment system - survived the hard landing without loss of fluid, and apparently they can still generate foam when powered.
After a preliminary investigation into the reasons for the rocket recovery system malfunction the launch authority in Kiruna- EuroLaunch - decided to postpone the REXUS 11 launch to a later date. The five experiment modules on board – including three ESA-sponsored experiments - were dismounted and placed in storage until a new launch opportunity arises.
"The student teams in Kiruna had anyway a very positive experience," said Piero Galeone, responsible for ESA's university education projects. "Through the REXUS 11 & 12 experience so far, not only did they successfully achieve the design, building and launch preparation objectives of their experiments, but they also faced what can happen in space missions, that is recovering from unexpected difficulties and get ready to go ahead at the next opportunity."
The REXUS/BEXUS (Rocket and Balloon EXperiments for University Students) programme takes place under a bilateral Agency Agreement between DLR Space Administration and the Swedish National Space Board. The Swedish share of the payload is made available to students from other European countries through a collaboration with ESA.
EuroLaunch, a collaboration between the Esrange Space Centre of SSC and the Mobile Rocket Base (MORABA) of DLR, is responsible for the campaign management and operations of the launch vehicles. Experts from ESA, SSC and DLR provide technical support to the student teams throughout the project.

U.S. Role Turned Upside Down
Why U.S. economic, military, and covert influence is waning.
In 1823, James Monroe told the world that the United States would not permit European colonization in the Western Hemisphere. But the Doctrine has repeatedly been a tool to justify intervention on behalf of U.S. interests, and rarely a tool for protection. Latin Americans were not consulted before the Doctrine was announced. Now they say it's time to send Monroe home.
For most Americans, the International Monetary Fund is just one of the hulking edifices in downtown Washington, D.C., filled mostly with men in dark suits. But for millions of people in the developing world, the IMF is painfully familiar.
For more than a quarter-century, this public financial institution has imposed policies on countries that have been disastrous for the poor and the environment. Governments have gone along with these harsh measures for fear of losing the IMF "stamp of approval" needed to get credit from other sources. Today, however, South America is leading a historic break from the IMF.
At the forefront is Argentina, a country that was once a star IMF patient. In the 1990s, the country took a full dose of the IMF's bitter medicine. Like medieval doctors, IMF economists prescribe the same "cure," no matter what the ailment. While seemingly more sophisticated than bloodletting, the success rate of IMF policy reforms has not been much greater.
Based on textbook "free market" theories, the IMF prescription includes public spending cuts, market liberalization, deregulation, and privatization. Countries that implemented these reforms in the past 20 years had slower economic growth rates than during previous periods. In Argentina, millions of citizens suffered reduced access to services and lost both jobs and health care coverage.
In 2001, the country suffered a total economic meltdown. With their jobs evaporated and their currency worth next to nothing, thousands of formerly middle-class Argentines had to resort to selling their possessions on the street and rummaging through garbage for food. When the IMF ordered more spending cuts, the country exploded in riots. Only after the government threatened to default on its loans did the IMF back down. And once Argentina rejected the IMF's medicine, it started a remarkable recovery.
That act of standing up to the IMF—and surviving—was empowering for other countries chafing at IMF control. Beginning in late 2005, Argentina and three other major IMF clients—Brazil, Uruguay and Ecuador—announced they would pay back their loans early and completely.
A reduced need for loans was one factor, but another was the emergence of the Venezuelan government as a major lender. Flush with oil money, Venezuela purchased bonds from Argentina and Ecuador to help them repay their IMF debts. This year, Venezuela and Argentina took steps to create a formal Bank of the South as an alternative to the IMF and other institutions that require similar loan conditions. Ecuador, Paraguay, and Bolivia are also initial backers of the new bank.
Some other key clients have followed Latin America's lead. The IMF's total loan portfolio has shrunk by more than two-thirds over the past couple of years, and most of the remainder is loans to one country—Turkey. By 2010, the IMF is expected to face an operating deficit of almost $400 million as its income from interest on loans dries up.
Citizens in countries liberated from IMF control will have greater power to advocate for more equitable economic policies that reflect each country's particular needs. They can also enjoy the irony of the IMF itself faltering financially. We'll see if the dark-suited economists care to drink their own medicine.

2 Rafael Correa, president of Ecuador
"We can negotiate with the U.S. about a base in Manta, and if they let us put a military base in Miami, if there is no problem, we'll accept."
Promising during his election campaign to close the U.S. airbase in Manta, Ecuador. Correa continues to pledge that the lease for Manta will not be renewed when it expires in 2009.
3 SOA: School's Out
As they grapple with the legacy of "dirty wars," Latin American countries are questioning their participation in the School of the Americas (SOA).
This academy at Fort Benning, Georgia, now renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, is alma mater to many Latin American dictators and death squads.
The School of the Americas Watch (SOAW), which advocates closing the SOA, has sent delegates to meet with governments throughout Latin America. The delegations have included torture survivors Carlos Mauricio, from El Salvador, and Pablo Ruiz, from Chile, along with SOAW founder Fr. Roy Bourgeois. Lisa Sullivan Rodriguez, SOAW's Latin America coordinator, says, "We have visited 12 countries in the last year, and 11 have been receptive."
Venezuela, Argentina, and Uruguay have stopped sending troops to the SOA. Bolivia is phasing out its participation, and Chile is reconsidering its plans to send troops.
SOAW has visited five countries in 2007. In Panama, which expelled the SOA in 1984, a public outcry arose after SOAW informed the media that Panamanian police had recently attended the school. In El Salvador, human rights groups expressed concern that the new International Law Enforcement Academy may serve the same function as the SOA. After Colombian officials refused to meet with the SOAW, the delegates accompanied Puerto Matilde residents, refugees from paramilitary violence, to tell an army field officer about continued killings in Colombia.
SOAW also visited Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, and will continue its outreach this year in Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic.

4 U.S. Funds Fronts
The U.S. government has a well-established history of intervening in Latin American politics. In recent years, gunboat diplomacy has given way to more sophisticated techniques.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez's Bolivarian Revolution is causing concern in Washington. In response, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have to date funneled more than $50 million of U.S. taxpayers' money to anti-Chávez groups, some of which led the April 2002 coup against Chávez.
Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show that, in the months before the coup, the NED quadrupled funding to groups such as the labor federation Confederación de Trabajadores Venezolanos (CTV—also associated with the AFL-CIO), CEDICE, Asamblea de Educación, Fedecámaras, Consorcio Justicia, and right-wing political parties including Primero Justicia, COPEI, Proyecto Venezuela, and Acción Democrátia.
Many of these groups received training from NED-funded groups such as the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute to improve political platforms and communications strategies.
In one compelling case, Consorcio Justicia, which says it works on issues of justice in the country, planned a conference, using $80,000 of NED money, for April 8, 2002—just 3 days before the coup—to discuss developing a "transition plan" for a new government in Venezuela. The headline speaker at the conference was to be Pedro Carmona, who took over briefly during the coup as dictator. The conference never took place.
USAID has established an Office for Transition Initiatives in Caracas, funded with $10 million to "promote democracy and stability." The funds were provided to many of the same organizations involved in the coup, who also led the a 64-day shutdown of the oil industry from December 2002 to February 2003. A grant from USAID to an organization affiliated with the CTV and Fedecámaras, the two main groups directing the shutdown, was aimed at crafting TV commercials in support of the action.
More than 300 politically motivated organizations and programs in Venezuela now receive funding through the NED and USAID, despite Venezuela's laws prohibiting foreign government funding of political activities.
The investment has, so far, had no effect. The 2002 coup was put down by the people. Two years later, they defeated a referendum to recall Chávez, and in 2006 re-elected him by a substantial majority.
Eva Golinger is a Venezuelan-American lawyer living in Caracas and author of The Chávez Code: Cracking US Intervention in Venezuela (Olive Branch Press, 2006) and Bush vs. Chávez: Washington's War in Venezuela (Monte Avila Editores, 2006).
5 Forum Heads North
The World Social Forum started in Porto Alegre, Brazil, as an alternative to the World Economic Forum. The WSF emphasizes non-heirarchical, democratic organization. The WSF model has now moved north, to the Southeast Social Forum (YES! Issue 39) and to the US Social Forum, slated for June in Atlanta.

I think the best part of the Social Forum is that we all understand that getting along together, transforming our relationships, and finding solutions is forever evolving. I like the saying that's used by a lot of the Social Forum activists, "We make the road by walking." And the walking never stops and the path is forever going forward.
I see it as critical right now in the current political environment for social justice movements to come together and look beyond our own regions, and look beyond our own specializations in the work that we're doing and begin to intersect our issues. To me, the exciting part of the US Social Forum is to begin to build that path, so to speak, so that we're all walking together instead of waving at each other from different paths along the regions.www.foodjustice.org

The U.S. government is trying to drive a wedge between African Americans and the immigrant community, particularly the Latino community. We think it's really important that we unite, that we don't allow that wedge to be driven. And, you know part of our future plan is to build a black-brown alliance through the process of the US Social Forum and beyond. We think that a movement for social and economic justice in the United States is so necessary. We have got to build that movement up so that it's worthy of uniting with the movements that are developing across the globe. We look at the US Social Forum process as a major movement-building moment. And so that's why we're putting so much effort into it.www.projectsouth.org

Tottenham, who sacked boss Andre Villas-Boas on Monday following their crushing 5-0 home defeat by Liverpool, looked on course for victory when forgotten man Emmanuel Adebayor volleyed them ahead.
But the north Londoners' defensive frailties were exposed again as Matt Jarvis equalised with 10 minutes left and Modibo Maiga headed the winner shortly afterwards.
"We saw the shaken nerve ends of Tottenham when we scored. We then went for the jugular," West Ham manager Sam Allardyce said on Sky Sports.
In the night's other quarter-final, Ashley Young scored his first goal in 18 months as champions Manchester United reached the last four with a 2-0 win at Stoke City in a match held up for 10 minutes by a hail storm in the first half.
West Ham's reward was a two-legged semi-final against Manchester City, who booked their place in the last four on Tuesday, and Manchester United will play Sunderland, who shocked Chelsea in their quarter-final.
Amid grumblings about Tottenham's sterile attacking performances and stolid tempo, caretaker manager Tim Sherwood, touted by many as a potential long-term appointment, sought to make an immediate impression.
He cast aside Villas-Boas's dogged commitment to playing with a solitary striker and brought Adebayor back into the fold for his first start of the season.
They began with a spring in their step and laid siege to the West Ham goal in the opening stages, hemming the visitors into their own half and creating a string of good chances.
The script seemed to have been written when Adebayor put the hosts ahead in emphatic fashion, arriving late on to Jermain Defoe's cross to smash home a volley off the underside of the bar.
It proved a false dawn, however, as West Ham levelled when Jarvis slammed the ball high into the roof of the net after Matt Taylor had flicked on a long pass forward and Maiga thumped home a fantastic low header from Mohamed Diame's cross.
"We started the game really well. We created chances in the first 20 minutes, but couldn't make the breakthrough. Later we gave it away and encouraged West Ham – they got the breaks in the end," said Tottenham's caretaker boss.
"Give them credit – they bombarded us and stuck to their task."
England international Young was handed a rare United start with question marks hanging over his future at Old Trafford, but he reminded fans of his talent with a pile-driver of a shot from 20 metres to put the visitors ahead in the second half.
Left back Patrice Evra curled home a cool finish, clipping the ball into the far corner, to wrap up victory for David Moyes's team with 12 minutes remaining.
"I'm glad we're through. It will be a tough semi-final against Sunderland. Sunderland played well to beat Chelsea so anything can happen but we are really pleased to be in the last four," Moyes told Sky Sports.
"The conditions were a leveller and it was really difficult to play in tonight. It's some of the worst conditions I've played or managed in. But once we got the first goal we felt confident.
"This club is used to winning trophies, it is business as usual."
