Australian actress Kym Valentine is suing the producers of soap opera Neighbours.
The star played Libby Kennedy from 1994 until 2004, but took time out of the show to raise her daughter.
She returned in 2007, but took indefinite leave in 2011, just months after she checked into a private hospital to be treated for exhaustion.
Valentine has now taken legal action, accusing production company FremantleMedia Australia, legal director Steven Rosser and former Neighbours producers Susan Bower and Neal Kingston of engaging in unlawful discrimination.
The 36 year old claims FremantleMedia failed to provide "a working environment that was safe" and that it breached "the relationship of trust and confidence".
Valentine is seeking compensation for lost wages and "pain, hurt, suffering and humiliation", as well as an apology and an acknowledgement that she suffered unlawful discrimination, according to documents obtained by Fairfax Media. The actress also wants to be rehired in the role of Kennedy.
A spokesperson for FremantleMedia states, "We don't comment on matters before the courts."

Before you begin
There are two common types of Wi-Fi password protection (also known as encryption) schemes that can be used by Wi-Fi base stations. The preferred method is called Wi-Fi Protected Access, which appears as "WPA2 Personal" or "WPA/WPA2 Personal" in AirPort Utility.
The other method, which is older and much less secure, is called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). This appears as "WEP (Transitional Security Network)" in AirPort Utility. Do not use WEP unless it is the only Wi-Fi security type that your device supports, and be aware that it is now very unsecure. If you must use WEP, try to configure your WEP Wi-Fi network on a separate, isolated network segment that contains only the devices that require WEP. Then, use a network router to bridge the isolated WEP network into your main WPA network.
Log in
Click the AirPort menu bar icon and choose your desired network. A login window appears stating it "...requires a WPA password." for a WPA network" or "...requires a WEP password" for a WEP network.
Enter your password and click OK. If you don't know the password, contact your network administrator.
For non-Apple wireless WEP networks
If you want to join a non-Apple encrypted wireless network from a computer with an AirPort card, you must use one of two different styles for password entry (which one you must use is decided by the network administrator). They are:
ASCII password
If you were given a password that is plain ASCII text, use the double quotation mark (") before and after the password. These are case-sensitive, and they are at least five characters long for 40-bit encrypted networks or at least 13 characters long for 128-bit encrypted networks.
- Example of 40-bit: "pw123"
- Example of 128-bit: "password12345"
Hexadecimal password
If you were given a password that uses only the hexadecimal range of characters (which are: abcdef0123456789), add a dollar sign ($) before the password. These passwords are at least 10 characters long for 40-bit encrypted networks or at least 26 characters long for 128-bit encrypted networks.
Note: In a hexadecimal password, the dollar sign is called the Hex Escape. It notifies the software that the characters that follow it should be treated as a hexadecimal number. Other possible hex escapes are "0x" and "0X" (zero-x). The "x" may be upper or lower case).
Example of 40-bit: $1234abcdef
Example of 40-bit: 0x1234abcdef
Example of 128-bit: $12345678901234567890abcdef
Example of 128-bit: 0x12345678901234567890abcdef
Note: If you are not sure which type your password is, try both of the methods above, or contact the network administrator for information about your password.
Learn more
When logged in, the AirPort menu bar icon shows the approximate strength of your wireless network signal. All four signal bars darkened means you have very good throughput. If you don't see this menu bar icon, enable it in AirPort preferences.
Terminology: Derivation of 40-bit and 128-bit
Encrypted wireless networks use either 40-bit or 128-bit keys. The key is conveyed in either eight-bit (ASCII) or four-bit (hexadecimal) encoding.
When using hexadecimal encoding, each character in the final encryption key is four bits long when converted to binary. The 26 characters of a 128-bit key add up to 104 bits. This 104-bit password is combined with a 24-bit random number, called the initialization vector, to create the 128-bit encryption key. The initialization vector is supplied with each packet of information sent and is part of the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm and 802.11b standard. With 40-bit encryption, the 10 hexadecimal characters equal 40 bits, which are then combined with the initialization vector to create the 64-bit encryption key. In this case the 40-bit name is a misnomer; it is actually a 64-bit encryption key. Consequently, 40-bit may be referred to as 64-bit, in some references.
When using ASCII encoding, each character in the final encryption key is 8 bits. So 5 characters equal 40 bits; and 13 characters equal 104 bits. The same initialization vector is added for the totals of 64 and 128 bits.

The Gottex Fashion Show
Swimming Away Into Spring
[Fashion Week]
"Anchors away as I take you from one glamorous port to another." The first opening line of the brochure at The Gottex fashion show during New York's fashion week, on September 8th, rung through my head as I was preparing to set sail into the world of fashion through another designer's eyes.
The young leaders of Gottex, Lea and Armin Goettlieb began the creation of stunning swimwear in 1954 and climbed their way up the ladder of fashion and turned men's heads as their models showed off Gottex' swim collection.
As I watched the show I saw how every piece was luxuriously designed with 18 karat gold details. Unfortunately, for many pieces, I found them to be too delicate to be worn. I personally prefer to wear gold as jewelry rather then on my bikini or swimsuit, however it was great to view an artist's perspective of beauty and grace as a woman takes a day out by the pool or beach.
My most favored swimwear was a high neck swimsuit with black on one side and white on the other and a large tulip flower of orange and grayish color drawn in the center.
The styles were very chic and alluring, the delicacy of each piece were beautifully put together to create a perfect ensemble. The colors ranged from simple black and white to stunning orange, pink and yellow.
As I spoke to Mr. Goettlieb, the first question that came to mind was his inspiration and with much enthusiasm he responded, " My inspiration is every morning in my life…"
He enjoys life to the fullest and he teaches the new generation who are also interested in becoming designers that they should do the same, "The new generation should learn how to build up a collection and learn about taste." "My main goal," says Gottlieb, "…is to try to fit a woman [in swimwear] so that they would look beautiful."
The Goettlibs began their journey through fashion with a raincoat factory in
He had once said in an interview in 1996 that his aim was to form a fashion world of swimwear. This is exactly what he did and his legacy lives on under the sun and in the water.

Striker selected for 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against United States on Sept. 7 and 11
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (Thursday, August 30, 2012) – Colorado Rapids forward Omar Cummings has been called up to the Jamaica National Team for two 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against the United States. The Reggae Boyz take on the U.S. Men's National Team on Friday, Sept. 7 in Kingston, Jamaica, and then once again on Tuesday, Sept. 11 in Columbus, Ohio.
Cummings will join the team next week and be unavailable for Colorado's home game against Portland on Sept. 5. He will rejoin the Rapids ahead of their Sept. 14 match at LA Galaxy.
Cummings, 30, has made 29 total appearances for his country, including in their most recent match against El Salvador on Aug. 15 when he started and played 55 minutes in the 2-0 victory. He made his debut for the Reggae Boyz on July 28, 2008, also against El Salvador, and has scored seven goals for his country. For the Rapids, Cummings has scored five goals in 21 games this season, adding one assist.
Jamaica is currently tied with the United States in the Group A standings for 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. They defeated Guatemala 2-1 on June 8 and tied Antigua and Barbuda 0-0 in June 12. After the double-header with the United States, they'll round out Group A play against Guatemala and Antigua and Barbuda on October 12 and 16.
The Rapids return to Dick's Sporting Goods Park next Wednesday, Sept. 5 against the Portland Timbers. The Heineken Lads Night Out package is available for the match, which includes two tickets, two beers, two hot dogs and two scarves for $44. For more information, or to purchase tickets, call 303-825-GOAL or visit www.ColoradoRapids.com. They'll first face the Timbers, though, this Friday at 7:30 p.m. PT (8:30 p.m. MT) at JELD-WEN Field, broadcast live on NBC Sports.

The last vestige of BlackBerry in the modern world, BBM, has a slick new feature that could stave off the overpopulation of BlackBerry's in recycling bins and possibly please the few suit wearing keyboard lovers left: the new BBM 7.0 has something called BBM Voice, a feature that basically offers free voice calling over Wi-Fi. BBM is more than just super fast and free text messaging now. It's free calls too.
The beta for BBM 7.0 starts today and it's a pretty good idea, insulating BlackBerry users with more features and pillows on the walls in hope that they don't flee the mental institution for greener pastures. All you need to do to active a BBM voice call is dial a BBM contact in BBM 7.0 and if you're both on Wi-Fi, it'll ask your BBM friend to join the voice call. Basically it's like making a phone call (or using Skype or FaceTime without the Face so I guess EarTime) but completely free for BBM users. It's nice. At the very least, it's a sign that the folks at RIM aren't crying mayday just quite yet. [Market Watch via The Verge]

Phillies end up losing - Lidge still very unstable
If you've followed Lidge all year, he hasn't been the same pitcher. Yes, he's gotten those familiar strikeouts and here and there put out some fires. However, he's no longer 'the man'. Charlie Manuel has repeatedly said, 'He's my man, he's the closer on this baseball team.' After tonight, that should change. He gave up a walk off home run to the Pirates tonight, who celebrated as if they have won the NLCS or something. Yes, it's a big moment for them beating the reigning World Series champs but it also tells us that Lidge is very unstable and in need of a sabbatical from the closer's role.
Jimmy Rollins had a breakout night with two home runs, he's paced this team to a victory tonight. It should have never been lost. The thoughts turn now to who should be the closer? You've got Madson that should be in the running, and now you have an apparently healthy Brett Myers who seems like he is back up to speed with his fastball and healthy looking. The decision on who will take the reins won't be simple but it is a decision that needs to be done now.
Here's the tale of the tape for tonight's game one with Pittsburgh:
Rollins 2-5 with 2 home runs - .244 BA
Utley 2-4 with a double - .302 BA
Ibanez 0-3 what happened to Ibanez? Is he still hurt? - .284 BA
Team RISP 2-14
and finally the worst stats of the night:
Brad Lidge: 9 blown saves on the year, 0-6 7.33 ERA
This should be the final appearance for Lidge as a closer until he get's 'fixed' if that is possible now.
Phillies lose 6-4 in Pittsburgh in Game #123 on the season and
the first of three games in Pittsburgh, PA. Phillies record: 72-51
1st place 6.5 games ahead of the Atlanta Braves

I think it's fairly obvious with Ibanez. He started out on a torrid streak, and is regressing to his mean. It's a law of averages. Rollins started out awfully, but everyone knew it wouldn't last the whole season. Just the opposite with Raul. He is currently right around his career average.ReplyDelete
Brad Lidge is a trainwreck, and putting the ball back in his hands and hoping it goes okay is not really a "strategy," but more like, "senility."ReplyDelete
We need somebody who can get three outs. That's it.
Maybe I'm being tough on Ibanez, but he just doesn't seem to have that fire in him that he had earlier in the season. Maybe he was playing way over his head? I don't know for sure yet. Hopefully he'll start dazzling again.ReplyDelete
Lidge is definitely not well, he isn't the same guy from last year, I joked today that perhaps he should have retired on top last year, he can never repeat that season and it was flawless, unless he gets a miracle that is.

Materials & Coatings
Heattreatment of Tool Steels--A Primer
Tool steels usually are supplied in the annealed condition, around 200 to 250 Brinell (about 20 HRC), to facilitate machining. In this condition, most of the alloy content exists as alloy carbides, dispersed throughout a soft matrix. These steels must be heattreated to develop their characteristic properties. Heattreating alters the alloy distribution and transforms the soft matrix into a hard matrix capable of withstanding the pressure, abrasion and impacts inherent in metalforming. Each step of the heattreating cycle performs a specific function. Although representing only 10 percent or less of a tool's cost, heattreatment may be the most important factor in determining tool performance.
Preheating, or slow heating, of tool steels provides two important benefits. First, most tool steels are sensitive to thermal shock. A sudden increase in temperature of 1500 to 2000 F may cause tool steels to crack. Second, tool steels undergo density or volume changes when transforming from the as-supplied annealed microstructure to the high-temperature structure, austenite. Nonuniform volume change can cause unnecessary distortion of tools, so tool steels should be preheated to just below this critical transformation temperature, then held long enough to allow the full cross-section to reach a uniform temperature. Once the entire part is equalized, further heating to the austenitizing temperature allows material to transform more uniformly, causing less distortion.
The useful alloy content of most tool steels exists as carbide particles within the annealed steel. This alloy content is at least partially diffused into the matrix at the hardening or austenitizing temperature. High temperatures allow more alloy to diffuse, permitting slightly higher hardness or compressive strength. At lower temperatures, less alloy diffuses into the matrix and the matrix is therefore tougher, or less brittle, although it may consequently not develop as high a hardness. The hold times used depend on the temperatures. Alloy diffusion occurs more rapidly at higher temperatures, with soak times decreased accordingly. For the best combination of properties, use the lowest hardening temperature that will produce adequate hardness for your application.
After austenitizing, the steel must be cooled quickly enough to fully harden to martensite, which will provide the material's strength. In general, low-alloy steels must be quenched in oil in order to cool quickly enough. The drastic quench may cool some portions of a tool significantly faster than other portions, causing distortion or cracking. Higher alloy content allows steel to develop fully hardened properties with a slower quench rate. Air-hardening steels cool more uniformly, so distortion and risk of cracking are less than with oil-hardening steels.
For higher-alloyed tool steels, which harden from more than 2000 F, the quench rate from about 1800 to below 1200 F is critical for optimum heattreat response and material toughness.
No matter how tool steels are quenched, the resulting structure, martensite, is extremely brittle and under great stress. If put into service in this condition, most tool steels would shatter, and some tool steels will spontaneously crack even if left untouched at room temperature. For this reason, immediately after tool steels have been quenched by any method to hand-warm (125 to 150 F), they should be tempered.
Tempering stress-relieves the brittle martensite formed during the quench. Most steels have a range of acceptable tempering temperatures. In general, use the highest tempering temperature that will provide the necessary tool hardness. The rate of heating to, and cooling from, the tempering temperature is not critical. But avoid sudden, drastic temperature swings. Allow the material to cool completely to room temperature (50 to 75 F) or below, between and after tempers. Most steels must be held at temperature for a minimum of 2 to 4 hr. for each temper. A rule of thumb: Allow 1 hr./in. of the thickest section for tempering, but in no case less than 2 hr. regardless of size.
Size Change
Heattreating results in unavoidable size increases in tool steels due to changes in their microstructure. Most tool steels grow between 0.0005 and 0.002 in. per inch of original length during heattreatment.
In certain cases, some of the high-temperature structure, austenite, may be retained at room temperature. In other words, during the normal quench, the structure does not completely transform to martensite. This retained austenite condition usually is accompanied by unexpected shrinkage in size and sometimes by less ability to hold a magnet. To correct, expose tools to low temperatures, as in cryogenic or refrigeration treatments, to encourage completion of the transformation to martensite.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Led by junior forward Harold Doby's career-high 25 points, Augusta State lifted the lid on the 2012-13 season Tuesday night with a 91-86 non-conference victory over Bowie State in Christenberry Fieldhouse.
With the win, the Jaguars (1-0) improved to 39-9 all-time in season openers and 9-0 in home openers under head coach Dip Metress. The loss dropped the Bulldogs to 0-4 overall.
Doby connected on 9-of-10 field-goal attempts and grabbed 10 rebounds for the fourth double-double of his ASU career. Sophomore guard Devonte Thomas drained six 3-pointers and booked 24 points, while Devon Wright-Nelson netted 13 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Chad July grabbed a team-high 11 rebounds and blocked three shots in his ASU debut and D'Angelo Boyce handed out 10 assists.
Bowie State's Ryan Westmorland led all scorers with 37 points, canning seven 3-pointers and went 10-of-10 from the charity stripe. Bryan Wilson chipped in 12 points, five rebounds, and five assists.
"Chad July made a big difference for us," Metress said. "He had some huge rebounds. He did a great job defending their post man (Najee White, who went 1-for-9 from the field). They have a good team. When two good teams come together, you learn from it. We got a good win vs. a good team."
Thomas scored ASU's first points of the season, swishing a 3-point bucket at the 19:05 mark. Junior transfer Ryan Weems' third 3-point shot of the first half gave ASU its largest lead of the first half, 19-9, at the 10:19 mark.
The Jags held the lead until a trey by Westmorland tied the game with 4:10 left. A little over thirty seconds later, Bowie took the lead, 32-31, on two foul shots by White. A jumper by senior forward Travis Keels reclaimed ASU's lead 33-32 at 2:40.
Doby kept ASU in the lead by scoring seven points, grabbing 4 rebounds, and blocking a shot over the last two and a half minutes of the game, preserving a 41-38 advantage at the half.
The Jags began the second half with a 15-4 run, jumping out to a 14-point advantage at the 17:02 mark, including three treys Thomas over the first three minutes of the half. The Bulldogs refused to go away, fighting back to within one, 60-59, with 13:47 left, with 14 points from Westmorland over that stretch. ASU again built a seven-point lead on a layup by Doby, only to see Bowie come back to take the lead, 70-68, on Westmorland's 3-point bucket with 9:16 on the clock.
Wright-Nelson reclaimed the lead for ASU, hitting a jumper at the 7:02 mark. July pulled down two crucial rebounds over the last two minutes on Bulldog misses. Doby and Thomas both hit big shots, with Thomas canning a 3-point bucket with 32 ticks left on the clock to give the Jaguars a six point lead and seal with win.
The Bulldogs had a huge advantage from the charity stripe, hitting 21-of-26 for 80.8 while ASU hit on only 13-of-23 for 56.5 percent. The Jags shot 57.6 percent from the field while holding Bowie to 40.9 percent. ASU owned the edge in rebounds, 39-34, and blocked six shots.
The Jags continue their three-game homestand Sunday, Nov. 25 when they host Coastal Georgia at 4:00 p.m., in Christenberry Fieldhouse.

OPIC Board Approves $185 Million for Two Solar Power Projects in Peru
June 18, 2012
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Board of Directors of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the U.S. Government's development finance institution, approved $185 million in financing for the construction of two 20-megawatt solar power plants in Peru that will produce nearly 100 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually – a significant step forward in the renewable energy sector for a country facing one of the lowest rural electrification rates in Latin America.
The initiative is OPIC's second major solar project in Peru within a year: last June, OPIC's Board approved $123 million in financing for the construction of two 20-megawatt solar power plants – the first large-scale solar power project in the country. That project was named the "2011 Latin American Renewables Deal of the Year" by Euromoney Institutional Investor.
The new OPIC financing will enable Conduit Capital Partners, a private equity investment firm, to finance the construction and operation of the Tacna and Panamericana solar plants in Peru's rural south. All electricity generated by the plants will be sold to Peru's national grid, supporting the country's effort to diversify its sources of power generation.
"The Peruvian government, in partnership with the private sector, continues to make great strides in bringing electricity to the majority of its population. This project will enable Peru to take advantage of its great solar potential in order to increase energy access in rural, poorer areas where the need is greatest," said OPIC President and CEO Elizabeth Littlefield.
The project is particularly designed to help Peru take advantage of its significant solar potential: solar energy levels in the southern mountain ranges exceed six kWh/m2/day, which are among the highest worldwide. But while access to electricity in Peru has increased from 45 percent in 1990 to 89 percent in 2011, coverage in the predominantly poor rural areas is about 30 percent, with more than six million Peruvians lacking electricity.
In 2005, OPIC provided $60 million in financing to Conduit's Latin Power III fund, the latest of three investment funds which to date have in more than two dozen power projects. In Peru alone, Conduit has invested in more than 1100 MW of power generation facilities.
Conduit is a private equity investment firm focused on the independent electric power industry in Latin America and the Caribbean.
OPIC is the U.S. Government's development finance institution. It mobilizes private capital to help solve critical development challenges and in doing so, advances U.S. foreign policy. Because OPIC works with the U.S. private sector, it helps U.S. businesses gain footholds in emerging markets catalyzing revenues, jobs and growth opportunities both at home and abroad. OPIC achieves its mission by providing investors with financing, guarantees, political risk insurance, and support for private equity investment funds.
Established as an agency of the U.S. Government in 1971, OPIC operates on a self-sustaining basis at no net cost to American taxpayers. OPIC services are available for new and expanding business enterprises in more than 150 countries worldwide. To date, OPIC has supported more than $200 billion of investment in over 4,000 projects, generated an estimated $75 billion in U.S. exports and supported more than 276,000 American jobs.

Tea Party activists among thousands attending rightwing host`s `Restoring Honour` rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial
They came in tens of thousands to hear their leader speak in the heart of Washington, thronging the mall in front of the Lincoln Memorial, hanging on words dedicated to freedom and struggle.
That was the scene 47 years ago when Martin Luther King gave his famous "I have a dream" speech that came to define the triumphs of the civil rights era and the fight to overcome racial prejudice.
It was also the scene yesterday as rightwing Fox News host Glenn Beck spoke at his "Restoring Honour" rally, stirring up a huge crowd of supporters, most of whom adhered to the beliefs of the conservative Tea Party movement.
It was clearly more than just a half a century that separated the two events and two men; there was also a massive political chasm. Beck, a controversial figure who has said Barack Obama is a racist who hates white culture, has claimed his rally is non-political and that the timing of it with King`s anniversary was an accident. But few take him at his word.
Beck`s television show, radio programme and speaking tours are constantly devoted to the idea that Obama and senior Democrats are closet socialists, or even communists, dedicated to forcibly transforming America into a leftwing society.

After 15 years of wearing a mask and living as a recluse, a 37-year-old Virginia man disfigured in a gun accident got a new face, nose, teeth and jaw in what University of Maryland physicians say is the most extensive face transplant ever performed.Richard Lee Norris of Hillsville is recovering well after last week's surgery, beginning to feel his face and already brushing his teeth and shaving, University of Maryland Medical Center officials announced Tuesday.
He's also regained his sense of smell, which he had lost after the accident.
Norris, who was selected from among five possible candidates for the surgery, has been living as a recluse, doing his shopping at night.
It's hoped the transplant will give him his life back, said Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez, the lead surgeon.
"It's a surreal experience to look at him. It's hard not to stare. Before, people used to stare at Richard because he wore a mask and they wanted to see the deformity," Rodriguez said. "Now, they have another reason to stare at him, and it's really amazing."
Rodriguez showed a 1993 prom photo of Norris, "as we all want to be remembered," beside a pre-transplant photo of Norris' shortened face with a sunken mouth and flattened nose. He then revealed a photo of Norris taken on Monday, where his face appears ordinary, other than stitches along his hairline and neck and scarring around his eyelids. Although he now has the donor's face, he doesn't resemble the donor, Rodriguez said.
"It's a combination of two individuals, a true blend," he said.
Norris' vision was largely unaffected by the accident. Because of numerous reconstructive surgeries, his forehead and neck were mostly scar tissue. Norris had no teeth, no nose and only part of his tongue. He was still able to taste but could not smell.
"He could not smell for the past 15 years, and that was the most dramatic thing - immediately, on day three, he could finally smell," Rodriguez said.
Doctors gave few details about the donor, citing the family's desire for privacy. They said the donor's organs went to several people. But the donor's family was consulted specifically about donating the face, said Charles Alexander, president of the Living Legacy Foundation. He said that consenting to be an organ donor does not automatically extend to face donations.
The 36-hour operation was the most extensive because it included transplantation of the teeth, upper and lower jaw, a portion of the tongue and all facial tissue from the scalp to the base of the neck, Rodriguez said. Because it included so much facial tissue, the incisions are farther back and less visible, he said.
The most dramatic moment came when the team had finished removing all the previous attempts at reconstruction. All Norris had left was a bit of tongue and minimal protection for his eyes. Rodriguez called it the point of no return.
"At that point, we had to be successful," he said. Norris will require minor revisions, but those will be outpatient procedures, he said.
It was the 23rd face transplant since doctors began doing the procedure seven years ago. The first full face transplant was performed in France in 2005 on a woman who was mauled by her dog. The Cleveland Clinic performed the first face transplant in the U.S. in 2008.
The Department of Defense has been funding some face and hand surgeries with the goal of helping wounded soldiers. More than 1,000 troops have lost an arm or leg in Afghanistan or Iraq, and the government estimates that 200 troops might be eligible for face transplants.
The University of Maryland's research on transplants was funded by a grant from the Office of Naval Research, and doctors said they hope to begin operating soon on military patients.
Researchers found that transplants involving large amount of bone marrow with its own blood supply saw fewer or no rejections, transplant surgeon Rolf Barth said. Norris will have to take immunosuppression drugs for the rest of his life to keep his body from rejecting the donated face, but the jaw transplant could mean he will need less and may be able to go off steroids, he said.
"This was the perfect patient to put into practice what we had discovered in the laboratory," Barth said.
Officials provided little detail on Norris or the circumstances of the accident that took his face. He graduated from high school in his small southwest Virginia hometown in 1993 and was employed at the time of the accident. Since then, he has lived with his parents and has not had a full-time job, Rodriguez said.
"This accidental injury just destroyed everything. The rest of his friends and colleagues went on to start getting married, having children, owning homes," Rodriguez told The Associated Press. "He wants to make up for all of that."

My Sam460ex Onboard Ethernet stopped working for 1 day (No lights and was not recognized at all)
It is working again.
During that period I experimented with a pciex1 to pci adapter .
My Tested Configuration :
PCI 8139 Network card on Pex8112 PCIex1 to PCI adapter .
Sil3112 SATA controller in PCI slot .
The Results:
configuration has problems in AmigaOS 4.1 FE .(Probably with pci DMA on the SATA card)
Downloading or operations with larger files cause the Sam460ex to freeze.
Downloading to USB storage was ok.
Regular AmigaOS 4.1 FE Web use seemed ok .
All seems to work ok under Linux.
Fortunately my Sam460ex on board Ethernet is working again for now.

For Chestnut Hill native and rising La Salle High School senior Tommy Walker, the 2013 scholastic crew season was just the start of a very busy year of rowing.
Early in the spring, he attended one of many regional camps where U.S. Rowing coaches identify promising young athletes, and he was chosen to attend the National Junior High Performance Camp in Pittsburgh beginning in mid-June. There, various teams were selected to represent the United States in international juniors events both here and in Europe, and on July 9 Walker was one of 13 sweep rowers and scullers who traveled to Oklahoma City for the 2012 CanAmMex Games Regatta.
As the name implies, the event is a three-way competition between rowers in the national developmental programs of Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. While there, Walker performed in two races in an eight-oared shell and one contest in a coxed four, winning all three with his U.S. teammates.
The whole experience has been an eye-opener for the 6'7", 185 lb. Walker, starting with the camp in Pittsburgh.
"You have all the best coaches in the country coming out to help and support U.S. Rowing," he related, "and you're surrounded by the best rowers. Also, it's very different living at the camp for a month and concentrating on nothing but rowing. It's a special environment and it has a very different feel than regular school competition."
There were, at least, some familiar faces at the elite gathering. Among the group were fellow La Salle rowers Andrew Barnish and Andrew Schutta, along with a third rising junior Walker knew, Steph Eble of Mount St. Joseph Academy. Schutta and Eble would make the trip to Oklahoma with Walker, while Barnish was selected to compete for the U.S. at the 2013 Junior World Championships, which will be held next month in Lithuania.
While Oklahoma City has not traditionally been known as a water sports mecca, the area has invested millions of dollars to reengineer and revitalize the portion of the North Canadian River that flows through the capital city. Locks, dams, and eventually a state-of-the art boathouse were built. This stretch of the waterway was renamed the Oklahoma River, and it now boasts an Olympic training facility that accommodates canoeists and kayakers as well as rowers.
On their first evening in the Sooner State, Walker and his mates in the U.S. eight faced the other two national crews in an informal 500-meter sprint. The Americans won this tune-up race in one minute, 21.69 seconds, followed by the Mexicans (1:23.70) and the Canadians (1:25.04). All of the subsequent racing was done on a 2000-meter course, which is the international standard.
Walker was assigned to the four-with-coxswain for Friday, July 12, and here the finishing order was the same: USA (6:55.25), Mexico (6:58.83), Canada (7:01.46). When the eights raced the following day, the pattern held, with the USA first in 6:15.12, Mexico second in 6:17.79, and Canada third in 6:26.79. In the overall point tally for the CanAmMex, Mexico came out on top thanks to its prowess in the smaller boats, especially the sculls.
Walker's success over the summer won't come as a shock to those who know his family background; there are definitely some rowing strands woven into his DNA.
His mother and older sister Emily were members of the crew at Mount St. Joseph Academy. Emily, in fact, was in the first Mount varsity eight to win a gold medal at the Stotesbury Cup Regatta, and she continued her crew career at Harvard. Tommy's older brother, Ted, was a successful member of the crew at La Salle High before he decided to focus on swimming at Penn State.
"My parents have always been very supportive, and my siblings had a huge influence on me," Tommy related. "They both had a lot of inborn talent and then they each worked very hard to get the most out of that natural ability. They're great role models and I've always looked up to both of them."
Like his brother, Tommy swam for the highly regarded aquatic team at La Salle, but after his sophomore year he decided to go all-in with rowing.
"I was pretty good at swimming, and our team was great, but I just fell in love with crew, the whole atmosphere and environment," he explained. "Also if you're serious about competing at a high level in college, then rowing is going to be a year-round thing for you."
Walker, whose academic interests runs towards math and science, is just starting the process of selecting a college, but he's already sure that rowing will figure into his future plans.
"Right now, I'm just looking forward to a little time off, because I pretty much went right from the school season into the U.S. camp," he pointed out. "There's a little break right now, but it won't be long before fall crew starts up back at La Salle."

COLUMBUS, Ga. – The Georgia College baseball team (29-19) won the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) West Division, and as a result will face East No. 4-seed Lander University (34-16) in the opening round of the 2012 PBC Tournament Wednesday.
The Bobcats and Bearcats will square off at 4 p.m. at Golden Park in Columbus, Ga. A double-elimination format, the winner of that opener will take on the victor of East No. 2-seed Francis Marion University and West No. 3-seed Columbus State University.
When GC played Lander during the regular season, the Bearcats took the series 2-1 at John Kurtz Field. With the start pushed back by rain, Lander took the Sunday meeting 10-0, and then the opener of Monday's doubleheader by a 5-4 score. GC rebounded to win 6-5 in the nightcap, scoring all six runs in the eighth inning. The game-winner was the first career hit by freshman second baseman Seth Bancroft (Sugar Hill, Ga.) a two-run single to center.
The three-game set was the only conference series the Bobcats lost this season.
The Bobcats dropped games to UNC Pembroke and FMU a year ago in this tournament, as the Bobcats have never won a PBC Tournament Championship, and neither has Lander.
Georgia College is led at the plate by senior shortstop Tanner Funk (Kearney, Mo.) and junior designated hitter Cody Maas (Alpharetta, Ga.). An All-American in 2011, Funk is hitting .362 with 15 doubles, scoring 49 runs from the leadoff spot. Maas hits in the middle of the order with a .340 clip, including eight home runs and 55 RBI.
Junior lefty Mike Guinane (Glenview, Ill.) has come on strong down the stretch, going 3-6 with a pair of complete games, owning a 3.00 ERA over 81 innings. The back end of the bullpen has been tough as well, with a pair of junior righties in Zach Hula (Kennesaw, Ga.) and Matt LaMothe (Troy, Mich.) putting the clamps on late. Hula has a 2.95 ERA and six saves over 39 2/3 innings, while LaMothe is at 2.70 with seven saves and 33 1/3 innings.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Aaron Fishleder, Viticulturist
I am going to spend this Thanksgiving enjoying time with my family, watching the Niners improve to 10-1, and thinking about how my crew and I survived another eventful harvest and growing season.
Daniel Townsend, Landscape Designer
A Thanksgiving fit for a king: sleeping in, lounging by the fire, a walk around Lake Hennessey and then straight to the kitchen. This year's dinner will be a white risotto with braised rabbit from my property, wild foraged white chanterelles harvested yesterday, roasted local chestnuts, fresh marjoram, organic stewed prunes and a drizzle of reduced braising liquid upon plating. Oh and let's not forget the shaved white truffles … The best to all and to all the very best!
Mary Grace, VP Marking and Communications
We spend Thanksgiving on our own, since our relatives are far flung. It's my job to make sure everyone in the extended family has wine on hand when we connect over the phone or Skype for a coast-to-coast toast. This year, I'm looking forward to enjoying some Nickel & Nickel State Ranch Cabernet at the Thanksgiving meal.
Trevor Eliason, Executive Chef
In our family we have a tradition where we cook two turkeys every year. We always have one traditional oven roasted turkey and then we mix it up and try something different. In past years we have done deep fried, BBQ, slow cooked in duck fat, wood oven roasted and Peking. This year we are going to smoke the turkey over night with Cabernet chips. This not only gives us some nice variety at the table but also plenty of leftovers. My favorite part of Thanksgiving is making a giant sandwich that night.

TOKYO, July 18 (UPI) -- The operator of Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant says steam is leaking from the reactor building and it will take action to avoid a possible nuclear reaction.
The Tokyo Electric Power Company, or Tepco, said it was ready Thursday to inject boric acid into one of its most heavily damaged reactors after it found steam emanating from the reactor building, The New York Times reported.
The measure would prevent a sustained nuclear reaction in the reactor's damaged core, Tepco officials said, stressing such reactions were very unlikely.
No signs of criticality, or sustained nuclear reactions, were detected, the company said, but it announced a halt to all work removing debris from the top floors of the reactor building as a precaution.
The nuclear plant is still presenting problems more than two years after an earthquake and tsunami knocked out its cooling systems, causing multiple meltdowns in its reactors.
Recently radioactive cesium and tritium were detected in the groundwater at the coastal plant, raising concerns the groundwater could be leaking into the Pacific Ocean.
After steam was seen escaping from the top of the No. 3 reactor's primary containment structure Thursday, workers stood ready to inject water containing boric acid into the reactor from the outside if there were any signs of a rapid rise in temperature or radiation levels, Tepco said.

Nirasha Guruge, the 11th-ranked player in the country, will be seeking to improve on her 9-4 record this season at the event.
For the men, Gary Power, Harvard's No.1 who played to a 10-5 record and is currently ranked 10th nationally, will represent Harvard in A division, competing for the Pool Cup. Harvard's Colin West '10 captured the title last year.
Play will kick off Friday morning at 9 a.m. at Dartmouth. The College Squash Association website will have updates throughout the weekend.

Egyptian Book of the Dead
Posted 18 January 2003 - 06:10 AM
Anyone ever read it?
Can any of you elaborate on it for me ?
I saw it in the most interesting place as well. It was in a furnace room of a building that has to be at least 100 years old. I noticed it while filling an 11,000 gallon tank with heating oil for furnaces that were converted from coal and wood burners to oil about 50 years ago. It was a creepy place , I wish I had taken my camera. I will do so next time.

The REAL Egyptian Book of the Dead (Papyrus of Ani) is basically a narrative "given" to the dead (in this case, Ani) to let them know the proper prayers to say to get to their judgement and then into "heaven". There are lovely prayers in the book, though they are for Ani (if you use them, personalize them to yourself). You can also get a good sense of Egyptian religious beliefs from the book. It's frought with confusing language unless you can get a good translation (Budge is wonderful, but his translation isn't the best...I can tell you the name of the translator on my copy - which is wonderful - but I'll have to do it later, when I can think straight, lol...it's after 3am here right now).
I am an avid Egypt nut and would gladly waste my life away digging in the sand for the rest of my life in search of the next "king tut's tomb". My "patron" deity is Anubis, as he is one of the only deities I know of that has given up his godly time just to help out humans and our souls. He makes sure our souls don't fall prey to evil on the way to judgement, oversees the judgement scales to make sure our souls (hearts) are weighed properly (judged fairly), and helps us find the path to "heaven". Not to mention, he guards our graves and the like. He cares so much for people and our eternal well-being...and Hollywood treats him like some evil death god, lol. I think Set got a bad rap, too (it was all politics, I tell you!) But I guess I'm just kooky like that. I just find it fascinating that a culture that never believed in good and evil (they believed in order and chaos; no evil people just evil/chaotic deeds) ended up having Set be an evil deity.
Anyway, I feel the insomnia working my brain, lol I better cut this post off now or I'll end up writing forever on the topic of ancient egypt
Many Blessings,

one doubt please - is it only meant for the DEAD? Is there any section in the Book that can be made use by the LIVING?
Take my hand and we'll go riding through the sunshine from above

As Acacia says, many of the spells were engraved on the sarcauphagus as hints or spells to bypass/counter the perils
of a soul's journey to the Underworld or laid in the deceased's hands as a scroll.
There were also spells cast upon the Ba<physical body>which is prolly why the body took 70 days to be ready for proper burial*no quick hack and wrap as Hollywood would have us believe*To understand, one must also understand that the goal was for the body and Ka<soul>to be reunited to again walk this earth as they once did-think its after 3000 years in the Underworld, but this is but one interpretation.
In case anyone's wondering, the most severe punishment was death by impaling and NOT being mummified alive...I kinda wonder though since that was reserved for the most heinous criminals, grave robbers, if the priests of Anubis didn't happen to forget the sacred spells that would preserve the body and anchor the soul :o

TAVR is a treatment procedure for patients with aortic stenosis who are too ill to undergo traditional open-heart aortic valve replacement surgery. During a TAVR procedure, your doctor replaces your diseased aortic valve with a new valve. Instead of opening your chest, your doctor uses a catheter (small tube) to thread the valve through a small incision in the groin or the chest wall. During this procedure, your heart remains beating the entire time. Studies have shown that patients achieve better outcomes when they undergo a TAVR procedure than they do with medication alone.
Evaluation for TAVRThe first step is to complete a TAVR Assessment, so we can gather information about your heart health. Once the TAVR Assessment is complete, the TAVR team will be able to review your case and make a recommendation. You will not receive a new valve during the TAVR assessment. We will call to schedule you for either an office visit or a cardiac catheterization. During this visit, you should bring a list of your medications. Your assessment will include:
- Questions for you about your everyday life, what you can and cannot do for yourself, your living situation, and your heart symptoms.
- Medical checkup during which a doctor or nurse practitioner will ask you questions about your heart and your health.
- Cardiac surgeon consultation to review your chart and examine you to determine a best recommendation for conventional aortic valve replacement, TAVR or medications.
- Questions from you and your family about your treatment options.
Making a decisionOnce your TAVR Assessment is complete, the team will discuss all the information we have about you, your heart and your general health, to make a recommendation about the best treatment option for your severe aortic stenosis. If you and your physician decide you will have a TAVR procedure, you will need the following tests:
- Cardiac Echocardiogram (Echo): This ultrasound of your heart provides information about your heart valves and how well your heart functions.
- Cardiac Catheterization (Angiogram): A cardiologist will perform this test to study the function of your heart and heart valves and to measure pressures within the chambers of the heart.
- Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE): If the doctors need more information after your cardiac echocardiogram, you will be scheduled for a TEE, a more detailed echocardiogram that uses the esophagus to look at your heart.
- Computed Tomography (CT) Scan: This painless 30-minute test uses X-ray technology and computers to give your doctors information they need about your heart and/or your leg arteries.
The TAVR TeamIf you are considering a TAVR procedure, be assured you are in the best possible hands. The MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute was the fourth cardiac center in the country to perform clinical trials on the TAVR procedure. We perform 70 TAVR procedures each year, making us one of the top five cardiac centers in the nation for this procedure. Our TAVR team—including cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists—have worked closely together to improve our overall heart valve program, based on what we've learned from the TAVR clinical trials. The principal investigators in our TAVR trials include:
- Augusto D. Pichard, MD and Lowell F. Satler, MD, team leaders for cardiology
- Petros Okubagzi, MD, director, clinical trials

Monument scoutmaster shares the stage (briefly) with Romney in Colorado
A character in a story Mitt Romney frequently tells on the campaign trail walked out of the anecdote and onto the stage Saturday night at Romney's rally at Comfort Dental Amphitheatre.
In a section of his stump speech when he talks about American perseverance through hardship, Romney often tells the story of a Monument Boy Scout troop's American flag. The flag went up on the space shuttle Challenger and then somehow — Romney describes it almost providentially — survived the explosion that tragically killed the shuttle's crew.
The flag, which has been dubbed the Challenger flag, has since gone on to some renown. According to Wikipedia, the flag was part of a parade through Philadelphia, was flown over the U.S. Capitol and was displayed during the Salt Lake Olympics. The troop, Boy Scout Troop 514 of Monument, also displays it during special scout award presentations.

Symposium on Eating Patterns, Diet Quality and Energy Balance
September 24 @ 7:00 PM - - September 26 @ 1:30 PM - North Ballroom of the Purdue Memorial Union
The link between eating patterns and health is intuitive, but variable due, in part, to how patterns are defined. They have been characterized by time course (e.g., circadian, infradian), nutrients, foods, economics and culture. This conference will:
1. Explore the benefits and limitations of each definition;
2 . Evaluate the consequences of eating pattern disruption due to lifestyle changes and selected events;
3. Examine the integration of environmental, and physiological influences on ingestive behavior; and
4. Consider the applications of current knowledge related eating patterns and future research directions from the perspectives of government, industry and clinical practice
