TRIBUTES have poured in for darts commentator Sid Waddell after his death at the age of 72.
Waddell, who had been battling bowel cancer since last September, died last night.
A statement today from his manager Dick Allix read: "With great sadness, we announce that following a long illness, broadcaster and author Sid Waddell died peacefully with all his family around him late last night, Saturday August 11, 2012."
Bobby George, twice a British Darts Organisation World Championship finalist, was among the first to pay tribute, writing on Twitter: "So sad to hear of the passing of the legend Sid Waddell or Sidly as I used to call him. Sincere condolences go out to the family x."
Three-time world champion John Lowe added: "Darts has lost its champion of the commentary box, Sid Waddell, sincere condolences to his family, good bye dear friend."
Raymond van Barneveld, the Dutch winner of four BDO World Championships and one as part of the Professional Darts Corporation, wrote: "Can't believe the news that Sid Waddell died yesterday i am emotional right now such a great personality and a good friend gonna miss you."
Waddell, Northumberland-born and a Cambridge graduate, was a central part of Sky Sports' coverage of PDC darts events since 1994.
He was known for his colourful and excitable commentary style, with his best-known lines including "There's only one word for it - 'magic darts'."
He also noted, while watching Eric Bristow become world champion: "When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer ... Bristow's only 27."
Long-term colleague Dave Clark tearfully told Sky Sports News: "He was a brilliant man, a genius of the microphone - I'm going to miss my old mate, that's for sure.
"He had a child-like exuberance, he'd be bouncing round like a young puppy in the commentary box, and mix that with the intellect of Einstein."
Clark added: "I know he's been really battling this cancer for a long, long time and what I hear from the family is it's a blessing that he's gone, but a tragedy."
The breakaway PDC organisation was controversial at first but non-executive director Marcus Robertson today recalled: "When Sid came from the BBC to Sky it was the papal anointing that what we were doing was the right thing.
"Up until that point I don't think we knew (the Corporation) would survive, there were certainly doubts. But Sid joining was the moment we knew."
Waddell also had 11 books published, ghosted 13-time PDC world champion Phil Taylor's autobiography The Power and wrote the sport-based BBC children's programmes Jossy's Giants and Sloggers, receiving a nomination for best scriptwriter from the Writer's Guild of Great Britain for the latter.
He was elected, along with fellow commentator Dave Lanning, to the Professional Darts Corporation's hall of fame in 2008 and, after his initial cancer treatment, rejoined the Sky commentary team for a Premier League event in Manchester this February.
Waddell began his media career at ITV before moving in 1972 to Yorkshire Television, where he produced the news programme Calendar and put darts on screen for the first time with the creation of The Indoor League.
Margaret Emsley, head of news at Calendar, said: "Sid was a pioneer in the world of broadcasting long before the nation took him to their hearts as the voice of darts.
"His enthusiasm was infectious, his abilities outstanding and far-reaching, and he will be greatly missed. Our deepest condolences go to his family."
Milburn Douglas, a councillor for Lynemouth, the Northumberland mining village where Waddell grew up, said the commentator never forgot his roots.
"He was a valiant member of Lynemouth and a legend in what he did and what he achieved. I am very proud to have had someone of his standing in the community," Mr Douglas said.
"With the darts, that's where he made a name for himself but he never forgot where he came from, he came from a mining community and he was very proud of that."
Stephen Fry, who during a memorable guest appearance alongside Waddell in the Sky commentary box proclaimed himself "as happy as a pig in Chardonnay", also paid his respects via Twitter.
Fry wrote: "Farewell Sid Waddell: Cambridge educated but always loyal to darts and his beloved NE: master of the wild epithet & the true voice of darts."
Former deputy prime minister John Prescott added: "Farewell to Sid Waddell - a man who did so much for darts and voiced so many memorable moments. A double top bloke."

What does Key Stage mean?
Definitions for Key Stage
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word Key Stage.
Key Stage(Noun)
Any of the stages of the state education system of the United Kingdom and Gibraltar, introduced with the National Curriculum in 1988, defining the knowledge expected of students at various ages.
Origin: key + stage
Key Stage
A Key Stage is a stage of the state education system in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the British Territory of Gibraltar setting the educational knowledge expected of students at various ages. The term is also used in some other countries such as Hong Kong and Australia although the ages at which each Key Stage applies differ from England. The stages are as follows: The National Curriculum sets out targets to be achieved in various subject areas at each of the Key Stages. The Key Stages were first defined in 1988 Education Reform Act to accompany the first introduction of the National Curriculum. The precise definition of each of the main 4 Key Stages is age-related, incorporating all pupils of a particular age at the beginning of each academic year. The Key Stages were designed to fit with the most prevalent structures which had already grown up in the education system over the previous 100 years of development. Key Stage 1 fits broadly with the first stage of primary education, often known as infant schools. This break had existed for some time, being acknowledged in the 1931 Hadow report as 'axiomatic' by as early as 1870. Key Stage 2 fits the later stage of primary education, often known as junior schools. Again, described by Sir William Henry Hadow, this took pupils up to the standardised break at age 11.

Sue and Vance Parsons, owners of Driver Hire Hereford & Worcester, have collected another national award.
Already winners of 'startups.com' 'Franchisee of the Year' award, they've now added Driver Hire's 'Newcomer of the Year'. It's a result of the outstanding levels of trading they've achieved during their first full year in business.
The Parsons first opened their doors for business in October 2013 as a brand new franchise with no customers and no drivers. Since then they've gone from strength to strength. With another two months' trading still to go in the current financial year, they've already smashed their business plan sales target. Every week they are finding regular work for over 50 local drivers.
Commenting on their success, Jeremy Neale, Driver Hire's UK Managing Director said: "This award is well deserved. It reflects what has been a truly outstanding business performance by Sue and Vance. Since joining our franchise network, they've fully engaged with Driver Hire and taken full advantage of the help and support we offer all our franchisees. What also impressed us were their efforts to recruit more drivers – essential for the long-term success of the business. As this award shows, they're now clearly reaping the benefits."
Vance Parsons added: "We've enjoyed an exceptional first year with Driver Hire. Of course success like this doesn't come without an awful lot of hard work. It's great to have our efforts recognised and, with the opening of our new office in Hereford, we're looking forward to pushing on from here."

Gary James' Interview With Richard "Scar" Lopez of
Cannibal And The Headhunters
In the mid 1960s Cannibal And The Headhunters enjoyed great success with a song they recorded called "Land Of A Thousand Dances". That song led to some incredible experiences in the music business.
We'll let original Cannibal And The Headhunters member Richard "Scar" Lopez explain.
- Richard, who put this group together and in what year?
- It was me and Bobby Jaramillo. Well, his nickname was "Rabbit." We all had nicknames. Probably in '63. There was a black group in the projects where we grew up in Ramona Garden Projects, but, I don't know if you want to know all that. You just asked who put it together.
- Right. So, you were always known as Cannibal And The Headhunters?
- No. We were first Bobby And The Classics when we first started in '63.
- What kind of material were you performing?
- We were just doing the oldies, mostly Motown. We modeled ourselves after Motown quite a lot.
- You played where?
- Just around the neighborhood.
- At schools, bars?
- Yeah.
- Your big song "Land Of A Thousand Dances" was written by Fats Domino?
- Chris Kenner and Fats Domino.
- Did either one of them enjoy any success with the song?
- No. I think Chris Kenner put it out in '62 if I'm not mistaken. Somewhere around there. It was more of a bluesy "Land Of A Thousand Dances". It's nice. I like it.
- Is that how you heard about it?
- No. We were Bobby And The Classics. We brought in Bobby's brother Joe. His nickname was "Yo-Yo". Then we brought in my brother Pete. He's the only one who didn't have a nickname then. Pete dropped out. Then Tommy Keys came into the picture. We didn't even know Cannibal yet. As I said, we were Bobby And The Classics. Then, probably around early '64, Tommy Keys dropped out and we got introduced to Frankie Garcia, nicknamed Cannibal. From then on we were called Cannibal And The Headhunters.
- So, there really was a Cannibal and you were one of the Headhunters?
- Right.
- Is Frankie Garcia in the present line-up of the band?
- No. He's passed away.
- Who's doing Frankie's lead these days?
- We've got a guy called Greg (Esparza). His nickname is "The Gint".
- What did Frankie die from?
- AIDS. He was gay. Then Bobby's brother "Yo-Yo" passed away too.
- What did he die of?
- From liver...but that's from drinking. His liver just dissolved.
- I guess at the time that's what a lot of groups did to pass the time, drink.
- Oh, yeah. When we did the Murray The K Show in New York, we did three of his shows in New York and we'd go to our hotel and drink 'cause that's what we did. (laughs) Our manager didn't like it too much. Me and Cannibal were the only ones of age. Bobby was sixteen. Joe was fifteen. At the time we were in New York.
- Why was Frankie Garcia given the name of Cannibal?
- The story we got from him...first of all his brother was named Big Cannibal. And when you're from a neighborhood in East L.A. everybody's got nicknames. So the story goes that Little Cannibal, which was Frankie, had bit somebody a couple of times...a bite. So, he got known around the neighborhood as "Little Cannibal". That's how he got his nickname.
- So he went from a street fighter to a singer?
- Yeah. Well, you gotta remember, in the '60s, everybody was from a neighborhood. I was even from a neighborhood. And that's what we did growing up. Protect our neighborhoods. You know, it's stupid looking back at it now, but that's what you did.
- As many times as I've listened to "Land Of A Thousand Dances", I could never quite understand the lyrics. What is Frankie singing? Does the song have a meaning?
- Well, yeah. I don't know all the lyrics myself. I'm one of the original guys, but we never sang the lead, so that's why I never learned the whole thing. But it's about a bunch of dances..."you gotta know how to Pony, like Boni Maroni, you gotta know how to twist, it goes like this." It's a bunch of dances that are put together. That's why it's called "Land Of A Thousand Dances".
- You released this on what record label?
- Rampart.
- It was released when?
- May '64.
- When it was released, was it a regional hit first before it became a national hit?
- Yeah.
- That song got a lot of airplay.
- Yeah. That's one of the reasons Murray The K invited us to his shows. Even right there in Brooklyn and Manhattan it got a lot of play.
- How many records did that song sell? Any idea?
- No. I sure don't.
- How did your career change when that record charted. Your career skyrocketed didn't it?
- Yeah. Matter of fact, our very first plane trip was back to New York to do the Hullabaloo Show. That was our very first television show.
- Do you remember who else was on that show?
- The two that I remember was that Michael Landon was the host and Dionne Warwick.
- You guys went on tour with The Beatles?
- Right.
- That was in what year?
- '65. We worked mostly out of New York. We hardly came home after the record took off. We worked two Murray The K Shows, one with Motown and the other with a mixed group. On August 15th, '65, was the first show at Shea Stadium. We did Canada, then we came down to Shea Stadium. That was with The Beatles. We did two shows at Shea Stadium.
- How did you get that gig?
- Well, the story goes, and you gotta go by stories because our manager never told us how we actually got it. He just mentioned one day that The Beatles were looking for opening acts and Paul McCartney liked that "Nah, Nah, Nah Nah" and he told his people I want the Nah, Nah boys. So we were doing the Murray The K stage show in Brooklyn and supposedly there was a representative from The Beatles' camp in the audience to look at us and he went back and contacted our manager and contacted the agency and then we got the show.
- Was it someone who worked for Brian Epstein?
- Probably, yes.
- Or could it have been someone from their booking agency GAC (General Artists Corp.) Was that your agency as well?
- Yeah. Ours was General Artists. Wait a minute, there was another one. American Artists? The Beatles were under General Artists?
- Yes.
- OK. We were under some other agency. I know that because whoever The Beatles were booking through, they had to go through our agency and cut them something in order to get us. So, I don't think we were under the same agency as The Beatles.
- What was it like to open for The Beatles at Shea Stadium? Everybody was waiting for The Beatles to come on.
- That was the one thing our manager was afraid of. When he told us we were gonna do the Beatles tour, he also had another proposition from the Motown Revue. We could've went to Europe with Motown and been on their bill. Of course, we took The Beatles. Our manager was pretty worried about that, what kind of response we would get. Would we get booed? It might hurt your career. But, I guess our record was good enough and known enough. We didn't get booed at all and we did seventeen different states.
- How long did you have on stage?
- Oh, a good thirty minutes.
- How many songs would that translate to?
- I think we did six songs.
- Who else did The Beatles have as their opening act?
- The King Curtis Band, which was backing all the acts up. Then they had some go-go dancers. Then they had a group called Sounds Incorporated, that Brian Epstein brought, trying to make something in the United States. And Brenda Holloway.
- How were you guys traveling for that Beatles tour?
- We were on The Beatles' plane.
- Wow!
- Yeah. We were very fortunate.
- So, you shared a lot of time with The Beatles?
- Right.
- What was it like to be on that plane with The Beatles?
- George was pretty quiet. You know, he's always been a quiet person. We talked about the shows and things like that. Ringo was a crack-up. Tell a lot of jokes. Of course John Lennon was a joke teller. The one that I got along with really good was Paul McCartney.
- Why would that be?
- I don't know. I used to sit with him quite a bit on the plane and talk to him. I don't remember exactly now where they're from in England.
- Liverpool.
- I do remember Paul used to say that was a like a rowdy neighborhood. We used to talk a lot about my neighborhood and his neighborhood. As a matter of fact, I even invited him to the neighborhood one time, but of course he didn't come. But, that's the one I talked to mostly, Paul. Cannibal used to talk to John a lot. Everybody used to talk to Ringo. Like said, George was pretty quiet. He stayed to himself quite a bit.
- The late, great Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers told me when The Righteous Brothers toured with The Beatles, they used to sing '50s songs on the plane with The Beatles. Would you and The Beatles sing songs at 30,000 feet?
- Well, I know a lot of the times we'd sing a few of The Beatles songs and sang "Land Of A Thousand Dances". I don't remember which person it would be on the plane, but somebody would be on the plane and all of a sudden go "Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah" and everybody would join in. But, I can't say exactly who would kick it off.
- Did you get a chance to meet and talk to Brian Epstein?
- Yeah, we met him, but not too talkative. We didn't talk to him hardly. I don't even think we talked to him, to tell you the truth. Our manager did, a lot now. They used to sit together quite a bit. But no, not us guys. I'm sure we said hi and what are you doing and how's everything today?...things like that.
- What was your manager's name?
- Eddie Davis.
- Is he still alive?
- No. He's gone too.
- Bring me up to date. What's going on with Cannibal And The Headhunters these days?
- We tried from the early 90s to come back and really do something good, but it's been kind of hard. We're even surprised about that. One problem is that there's a fake group. This guy was a drummer for Cannibal back in the early 80s. Up until the 90s I think. After Cannibal died, he started taking over the name. In other words, we got into a big fight with him. What they are is a band. They're not a singing group like we were. They really burned us in a lot of places. People hire them thinking they're Cannibal And The Headhunters and they're not getting the real thing.
- So, who owns the name Cannibal And The Headhunters?
- Me and Bobby just got it registered through the Federal Trademark about two years ago. Back then, you don't think about registering the name or anything like that. I wish our manager would've done (that). But no, we didn't do it. We own the name now.
- And you can't stop the fake group Cannibal And The Headhunters?
- With a lot of money you can. Take 'em to court. I've talked to several lawyers over the years and it takes a lot of money. We wrote him letters to cease and desist. We even sent him the copyright Federal Trademark. The thing I'm thinking is, he thinks he's Cannibal, not a fake. He thinks he's the real thing. That's the only thing I can think of.
- How old of a guy is he?
- He's about fifty-five, if that old. He was twelve years old when we had our record. He didn't come into the band until the early 80s and all he is, is a drummer.
- How long did he spend with the group?
- I think about ten years. After Cannibal didn't want to sing anymore in '89, 90, he claims Cannibal game him the name, which is impossible 'cause Cannibal didn't own the name by himself. All four of us own the name. We do got court papers on that. Eddie Davis took us into court and we're all four known as Cannibal And The Headhunters. We've got papers from '64, but he still won't stop. Even with the Federal Trademark.
- What did you guys do after The Beatles tour?
- We played with Herman's Hermits. We opened for The Stones, but I can't tell you where or when. Early '67, there was no more Cannibal And The Headhunters.
- What year did you re-group?
- Oh, probably '90. But we always did shows here and there when we got together.
- When you weren't playing in the band, what else did you do?
- I worked for a steel company...overhead crane operator. Bobby and Joe worked for, I think Union Pacific Railroad.
- Did you ever tell anyone on the job that you had a band in the 60s and you toured with The Beatles and opened for them at Shea Stadium in 1965? What would there reaction be?
- Yeah, most of the time it was "oh yeah, sure you did, sure you did" 'til I showed 'em my scrapbook. Me and Paul McCartney sitting on the plane. Pictures of all four of us with Ringo Starr, John Lennon, George Harrison. Then they would shut their mouths.
- After touring with The Beatles, I don't know how you follow that with a regular job.
- It was hard... always have that memory.

Ex Bigg Boss contestant Pooja Misrra ASSAULTS shopping store staff!
Even during Bigg Boss season 5, the model was known for her weird and unruly behaviour!
Former Bigg Boss housemate Pooja Misrra has been accused of assaulting the staff of a leading store in Delhi.
Pooja Misrra, who is also a model and a television actress was caught on camera beating up the staff at a department store in Karol Bagh, West Delhi on Sunday, as per the police statement. Not only did she beat the staff, she also took out her gun and threatened to shoot them. Strangely, no case has been registered yet.
This incident happened when the model lost her temper after a heated argument with a customer. "Why the model lost her temper is yet to be verified. We have recovered the CCTV footage of the incident. The matter is being probed," said the official.
This is not the first incident the controversial celeb had brought herself in. A few months back, she got into an argument with the staff at Hotel Taj Dwaraka for refusing to pay the bill for all the items she had broken in the hotel room she was staying in. She even tried to slap the staff, and also tried to break the mobile of one staff who was recording the entire incident, who was later accused of molesting her! When this video went viral, she blamed Sonakhi Sinha and her mother for leaking the video!
Since she has not changed her ways, let's hope that the makers of Bigg Boss 9 bring her back into their show to make the current lineup of drab contestants more exciting!

Mozart's one-act comic opera "der Schauspieldirektor", or The Impresario, was originally composed in 1786 as a "Singspiel" – a German type of play interspersed with various musical numbers – at the request of Emperor Joseph II for a private performance at the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna. Mozart wrote The Impresario at around the same time as The Marriage of Figaro.
The story itself is about the woes of an opera company director (Scruples). His scheming assistant (Bluff), who longs to sing bass roles on stage, engages a banker (Mr. Angel) to financially "rescue" the opera company's upcoming season. In return, Mr. Angel merely requests Scruples to showcase Mr. Angel's two paramours (Madame Goldentrill and Miss Silverpeal) each of which happens to be an opera singer, and each of which thinks she should be the prima donna for the upcoming opera season!
Of course theatrical and musical fireworks ensue, before leading to a most unlikely (yet satisfactory) conclusion.
The Impresario, K. 486
By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Composed in 1786

After a day in Joplin, there was still a night on the town to look forward to. First, however, Kammy drove me to Carthage (just a quick 30 minute drive away) to visit the Civil War Museum. The museum houses an impressive mural depicting the retreat of the Union soldiers through Carthage. There is also a diorama which shows how the "Battle of Carthage" played out. Displays in the museum focused on the Civil War in Missouri, and particularly in the Carthage area. If there had been time, I would have studied each of them.
It was getting late and we had to get back for the Shakespeare Festival. After I checked into the motel, we made our way to Missouri Southern State University, the sponsor of the festival. Nicknamed "MOShakes," this festival is only in its second year of presenting Shakespeare plays. The production itself was condensed to a reasonable ninety minutes (without intermission), and the cast is made up of local talent as well as college students.
This year MOShakes presented "Twelfth Night," a comedy involving a woman disguised as a man and the hilarious love triangles that ensue. This version of the play was set in the 1920s, with flappers, the Charleston and argyle. Shakespeare's words doth pour forth with such speed that their wit does at times pass me o'er, but this play was filled with so much physical comedy you didn't have to follow the dialogue exactly to enjoy the show. I'll be on the lookout next year, when perhaps two different Shakespeare plays will be offered. I can see them both, and it will give me an excuse to stay longer at the Boots Court Motel.
Located directly on the original Route 66, The Boots Court Motel is a throwback to the fifties. Four rooms of the motel have been renovated and furnished to look the way it did back in the heyday of the Mother Road's popularity. With hardwood floors, an old-fashioned alarm clock, and vintage tile work in the bathroom, the rooms are at once homey and elegant. True to the sign out front, there is a radio in each room (and no TV). The radios are professional reproductions and are tuned in to the local Carthage station which broadcasts music from the 1940s and 50s. The Boots Court Motel does offer Wi-Fi, so you can reenter the present if necessary. However, there is something so wholesome about the décor, the nostalgic music, and the excitement of knowing that Route 66 waits just outside the door; it prompts you to be still, and just soak in the simplicity of yesterday.
I saw a lot on my trip to Southwest Missouri. It can be a busy place with so many options for entertainment, dining and museums. There was so much to see it made my head spin. However, I think the memory that will stay strongest with me is of settling into my room at the Boots Court Motel, listening to Patsy Cline crooning about the Nile and tropic sunsets, and then returning home to loved ones.

Genoa Coach Davide Ballardini is not fooled by Roma's current crisis. "You cannot doubt their true strength."
The Giallorossi needed a police escort to travel for today's game due to fierce protests in the wake of three consecutive defeats against Inter, Napoli and Shakhtar Donetsk.
"The protests only serve to make Genoa's job more difficult," warned Ballardini.
"We will be facing a side desperate to get out of this difficult situation. Roma are still an excellent squad and you cannot doubt their true strength.
"Even with Mirko Vucinic absent, they still have so much talent at their disposal."
Genoa were given a huge confidence boost following the midweek 1-0 derby win over Sampdoria, a game rescheduled from December due to snow.
"Winning the derby was wonderful, but it's a whole other story against Roma."

SEJ Condemns DOJ for AP Phone Records Grab [1]
May 14, 2013 — The Society of Environmental Journalists strongly condemns the Department of Justice's overly broad investigation of the Associated Press' newsgathering operations as an infringement of First Amendment press freedoms.
By secretly seizing telephone records for more than 20 phone lines used by AP journalists and offices, including cell and home phone lines, DOJ has unjustifiably targeted facilities and phones used by more than 100 journalists, and obtained the names of sources and confidential information about the newsgathering operations.
The Obama administration has been aggressive in seeking to stop leaks and control the flow of information. Its investigation into a leak that led to stories about a failed terrorist plot to blow up an airplane on Christmas Day 2011 was known from public testimony by administration officials. But the government's collection of information from AP phone lines in New York, Washington, Hartford, Conn., and the AP's main House of Representatives Press Gallery number far exceeded the scope of any justifiable investigation.
The Associated Press says it regards the Justice Department's secret investigation as a serious interference with its constitutional rights to gather and report the news, and SEJ agrees. As requested by the AP, DOJ should fully explain its actions, return all records of conversations and calls to the AP and destroy all copies of those call records.

ANCHORAGE - Union workers at the Sheraton hotel in downtown Anchorage are asking visitors to boycott the place because management imposed a sharp increase on family health coverage.
Union organizer Jessica Lawson says management also boosted the number of rooms attendants must clean during an eight-hour shift. It's the same issue that prompted workers at the Hilton Anchorage to call for a boycott of that hotel.
The Dallas-based owner of the Sheraton hotel said Monday it negotiated with the union in good faith.
Cold snap chills Anchorage
ANCHORAGE - Anchorage is in the middle of its first cold snap of the season.
Overnight temperatures dipped below zero with afternoon highs predicted to reach no more than 10 degrees on Tuesday.
The National Weather Service expects temperatures to stay unseasonably cold until Friday afternoon, when the high could reach a more typical 25 degrees.
The chill came at a bad time for roughly 4,000 Anchorage residents who lost power Tuesday morning because of a problem at a substation. Chugach Electric spokeswoman Patti Bogan says crews were working to restore power.
UAF administrator candidate for APU job
FAIRBANKS - University of Alaska Fairbanks administrator Bernice Joseph is one of five finalists to be the new president of Alaska Pacific University.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports she is the only in-state candidate to lead the private Anchorage university.
For the past three years she has been vice chancellor for rural, community and Native education at UAF.
APU has about 570 full-time and 200 part-time students in a a half-dozen academic programs.
One of the other finalists is Don Bantz, academic vice president and provost at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash.
Suspect pleads not guilty in Anchorage rape case
ANCHORAGE - A man accused of sexually assaulting at least five women in Anchorage pleaded not guilty to all charges.
At Monday's arraignment the superior court trial for 43-year-old Richard Dorsey was set for Feb. 8.
The Anchorage Daily News reports he's accused of picking up and assaulting women who were walking along roads in the past eight years.
Dorsey has already been convicted of second-degree sexual assault for sticking his hand up a woman's skirt in July 2006 at a store.
While Dorsey was on trial in that case, police snatched a water cup he had used in court and matched DNA evidence from it to an unsolved rape.

Mr HAYES (Fowler—Government Whip) (18:30): As a member of federal parliament I feel I have made a commitment to publicly condemning blatant violations of basic human rights. In moving this motion I sought to bring attention to atrocities that are currently occurring in Vietnam against freedom and justice. Though we may call Vietnam our South-East Asian neighbour and our valued trading partner, I for one am appalled that there are more than 400 people currently incarcerated in Vietnam for exercising their fundamental human rights. I refer to people whose only crime is to support political groups not recognised by the state, to criticise government policy or to call for democracy. Today I wish to highlight some recent cases of this.
In Vietnam in recent years there have been a growing number of individuals and activist groups openly voicing their opposition to the government. In response, the Communist regime has been attempting to silence this dissent through imprisonment. The arrest of those advocates of human rights and those seeking democracy is arbitrary, and their trials have been unjust. Beginning in summer 2010, the Vietnamese government embarked on one of the biggest crackdowns on dissidents, specifically targeting land rights activists, most of whom belong to the Mennonite Church, in the Mekong River Delta region. Among those arrested I specifically refer to the seven people I referred to in my notice of motion.
The story of these people is appalling. All seven are members of the Cattle Shed Congregation of the Mennonite Church, the name of which refers to the fact that they have to practice their religion in a cattle shed. In what can only be seen as a severe miscarriage of justice, these seven individuals were detained and held incommunicado from July 2010 until their trial on 30 May 2011 without access to legal counsel or access to their families. When the accused were finally brought before the People's Court of Ben Tre, the hearing, which lasted less than one day, was closed to the public, the defence had limited access to the evidence against their clients and all requests for foreign diplomats to attend the proceedings were denied. To further compound these shocking circumstances, the lawyer Huynh Van Dong, who was appearing for two of the defendants, was ejected from the courtroom during the argument stage of the case. Following the trial, Huynh Van Dong said that the court itself had violated the law from the very beginning. He claimed that any statements that he made in the court room on behalf of his clients were cut off by the judges—in other words, he was effectively silenced.
Due to their association with Viet Tan, a pro-democracy organisation, the seven were charged under article 79 of the Vietnamese penal code, which cited their attempt to overthrow the socialist government. They were accused of the following so-called criminal acts: attending a seminar on non-violent protests, publishing signs concerning Vietnamese ownership of the Paracel and Spratly Islands and organising farmers to protest against corruption. These activities are hardly objectionable by any reasonable standard, and each of them is acceptable and fully within the framework of international law. Collectively they were sentenced to 33 years of imprisonment and 28 years of house arrest. Article 79 of the Vietnamese penal code is vague. It does not distinguish between violent acts endangering national security and peaceful political advocacy. It appears to me that the Vietnamese government has exploited this and in doing so has violated numerous articles of the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, both of which apply in Vietnam as they are a signatory. To any reasonable person, the action of these seven standing up against corruption, seeking to avail themselves of constitutional rights, could hardly be seen to be criminal but rather the actions of a true patriot. They have been faithful to their religious ideals. They have been selflessly serving their communities. They rightly claim that the communist authorities in Vietnam are using the penal code to rationalise human rights abuses and the silencing of peaceful opposition. In any objective sense the Vietnamese government has failed in every way to prove that these seven people engaged in a single illegal act under international law and therefore the enforcement of article 79 of the code in this manner simply punishes the individuals for exercising their rights to freedom of association, freedom of assembly and participation in national affairs.
I assure you, Mr Deputy Speaker, that as Australian parliamentarians we are not alone in our concern about Vietnam's arbitrary detention and conviction of innocent individuals who are fighting for freedom and justice. Human rights groups, elected officials and foreign embassies all around the world have criticised the regime and its actions. In another case of Vietnamese suppression a 50-year-old novelist and journalist, Tran Khai Thanh Thuy, was recently deported to the United States on humanitarian grounds following fierce pressure from the United States State Department and strong backing of Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez. Thuy had been sentenced to 3½ years imprisonment earlier that year on assault charge. The charge had been found to be a complete fabrication and an excuse by the government to arrest Thuy for her involvement in the pro-democratic movement, particularly her association with Viet Tan. Thuy's case is a landmark and it is the first time international pressure has been successful in affecting the actions of the Vietnamese government. As a signatory to the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights, Vietnam has willingly agreed to grant its citizens the rights of freedom, particularly freedom of association.
As a trading partner and an aid donor, I believe Australia has a right to demand that Vietnam abide by its international legal obligations. On numerous occasions I have drawn the parliament's attention to the ongoing human rights abuses in Vietnam. Recently I spoke about three people who were jailed for nine years for organising a strike at a shoe factory in pursuit of fair wages and conditions. I have also spoken about the legal scholar, Cu Huy Ha Vu, jailed for seven years for initiating legal action in respect of a Chinese mining project and challenging the constitutional validity of a prohibition order against class actions.
We do not need to chronicle the human rights abuses; we need to see genuine progress. Positive outcomes can be achieved when pressure is placed on the Vietnamese government, as in the release of Tran Khai Thanh Thuy. This case is evidence that when we work in conjunction with the international community and put full pressure on the Vietnamese government we can work towards ending these atrocities. At the very minimum Australia, along with the international community, should demand that the undertakings given by the Vietnamese government in signing the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights be honoured. As I say, that should be seen as an absolute minimum.
As you are aware, Mr Deputy Speaker, in my electorate I have the good fortune to represent a large number of Vietnamese people. Since the fall of Saigon some 36 years ago Australia has received 200,000 Vietnamese refugees. To Vietnamese people, this is still very real. We are not talking about something in a distant land; or about something in their immediate past, but their families and their welfare.
We have taken a leading role within our region in pursuing human rights and we should be proud of that. We have taken a leading role in developing trade in countries such as Vietnam. Again, that is something we should be proud of. In doing that, we need to go further. We should now be demanding of those countries that sign for whatever reason, trade based or otherwise, the International Convention for Civil and Political Rights that not only the spirit of that convention be upheld but each and every one of its articles, as they apply to its people—that is, in respect of the freedoms associated with the application of those conventions—also be honoured. It is not too much to ask that we, along with our international colleagues, work collectively to ensure that progress is made in improving human rights in Vietnam.

Hello Anyone,
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 C++ w/ Intel Composer XE 12.1 to build a64-bit dll that incorporates calls to theMKL (10.3.11). For simplicity of deployment, I want to statically link inas many of the mkl libraries as possible.Based on output from thelink line advisor I've added mkl_intel_lp64.lib; mkl_intel_thread.lib; mkl_core.lib to the link line. However, no matter what I do, the libraries are not being statically linked. The linker insists on using the *_dll.lib versions.
What do I need to do to force Visual Studio / xilink to statically link this thing?
Thank you,

Author has written 2 stories for Fantasy, and Haiku.
I like wolves, as is written in my nickname. I like to write stories, poems, and haikus.
I like to write poems,
Haikus, and even stories,
I also like wolves.
:D Usually I don't have success, because I'm not a very patient person. Still, I hope that one day, by practising, I will be a great writer. Some day. (sigh.)
Any way, I usually write fantasy, if I write stories. It just isn't in me to write nonfiction. My mind refuses, tells me, Don't write it, don't write it! Of course, I have read many good nonfiction, but to write it my self...I just simply prefer fantasy, and I don't think (or hope) that any thing or any one will change that. One exception to this is mystery(like detective). I am currently writing one, inspired by Agatha Christie's Poirot.
My favourite books are: Harry Potter, Eragon, Percy Jackson, His Dark Materials, Kane Chronicles and Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. I also really like Hercule Poirot. Some of the ones I just like are: Diary of a Wimpy Kid's, Spiderwick, Children of the Lamp, Artemis Fowl and the Chronicles of Narnia.
Yeah, so that's about it. For now.

The fitness lover's heart sometimes yearns for the good, ancient brick-and-mortar strength systems - the old-fashioned 'akhara' and old-school, time-tested exercises.
Thomas Kelly This fierce-looking Sadhu from a Shaivite akhara, or militant sub-sect historically created to protect the scholarly sadhus, displays his sword and nag-phani, or serpent horn.
Niranjani akhara peshwai on 7th February 2010, Mahakumbh mela, Haridwar, India
Added Mahant Hari Giri, general secretary, Akhara Parishad, "Sthiti ko dekhte huey, Juna akhara aage nahi badhey."
As Juna akhara Mahamandaleshwar Pilot Baba's Innova reportedly manoeuvred the Lalpara bridge, the driver, say police sources, lost control and careened into the surging crowd, killing two women on the spot.
Following the stampede, Juna akhara which was to lead the procession, decided to use their 'own' Bhairon ghat for the snan, and discontinued their procession to Har ki Paudi, said Vardhan.
(Looking at the situation, Juna akhara didn't lead.)
A dilapidated door separating the akhara from the outside world opens onto a small courtyard littered with unwashed utensils and gas stoves.
Some 125 trainees, many of whom live on the premises, follow Rao's strict regime, which begins before dawn with a long run on roads outside the akhara, followed by exercises and weight training.
In the centre is the sand and mud pit where boys train under the watchful eyes of chief coach Maha Singh Rao, who took charge of the akhara after Guru Hanuman's death.

MORE often than not, patients are bound to complain of having a high blood pressure. It is a common condition across the globe.
One heart condition many are less likely to identify until it hits its advance phase is low blood pressure. This silent killer goes untreated and undiagnosed by a vast majority of sufferers until it's too late.
Giving insight on this health condition, Dr. Eunice Alegbe, Chief Medical Director of Diamond Crest Hospital, explained, "Blood pressure is the pressure of blood when it flows through the arteries. When a person's blood pressure readings remain consistent at 90/60 mm Hg or lower, then instead of the regular 120/90mmHg, the person is said to have low blood pressure or hypotension.
"This causes a weak action of the heart in forcing the blood through the arteries then the pressure of the blood becomes abnormally low."
According to medical research, going from a sitting or lying position to a standing position could also bring out symptoms of low blood pressure. This occurs because standing causes blood to settle in the veins of the lower body, and this can lower the blood pressure. If the blood pressure is already low, standing can make the low pressure worse, to the point of causing symptoms.
Although there are some widespread concerns that could arise from having a blood pressure rate that is too low, Dr. Alegbe says that people who have lower blood pressure have a lower risk of stroke, kidney disease, and heart disease.
"People who exercise regularly or maintain an ideal body weight, and non-smokers, tend to have lower blood pressure. This is usually a sign that the friction in the blood vessels are either at a standard level or close to the normal level. Therefore, low blood pressure is desirable as long as it is not low enough to cause symptoms and damage to the organs in the body."
Highlighting some of the symptoms faced by patients with low blood pressure, Dr. Eunice says, "A person with low blood pressure normally experiences dizziness, weakness, lethargy and fatigue. When the flow of blood is too low to deliver enough oxygen and nutrients to vital organs such as the brain, heart, and kidney, the organs do not function normally and may be temporarily or permanently damaged. Sometimes the person may faint also if the arterial blood pressure becomes too low."
She further stated that when blood pressure is not sufficient to deliver enough blood to the organs of the body, the organs do not work properly and can be temporarily or permanently damaged.
"A classic example of the effect of low blood pressure," she says, "can be found where insufficient blood flows to the brain, brain cells do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, and a person can feel lightheaded, dizzy, or even faint. When insufficient blood is delivered to the kidneys, the kidneys fail to eliminate wastes from the body.
"When there is insufficient blood pressure to deliver blood to the coronary arteries or the arteries that supply blood to the heart's muscle, a person may develop chest pain which is a symptom of angina or even a heart attack," she finished.
It is very important to know the causes of low blood pressure so that extra precautions can be taken;
Malnutrition Taking a diet deficient in nutrients is one of the most important reasons for low blood pressure. The tissues which form the walls of blood vessels become stretched or over-relaxed. This causes poor supply of nutrients and oxygen to the tissues.
Loss of blood When there is slow bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract or bladder then it may result in low blood pressure.
Heart problems Some problems associated with heart can cause improper blood circulation in the body resulting in falling of blood pressure.
Dehydration Dehydration is one of the reasons for low blood pressure. Loss of water from the body can lead to fall in blood pressure. Drinking water in sufficient amount is essential for keeping blood pressure in normal values. Other causes of dehydration include exercise, sweating, fever, and heat exhaustion, or heat stroke.
Pregnancy Low blood pressure can develop in pregnancy. So you should get yourself checked.

Six blowouts over the Silverstone weekend, five of them during the race itself, had led drivers to moot the possibility of a boycott at the Nürburgring, with Red Bull's Mark Webber describing the race in Britain as akin to "Russian roulette".
That threat appeared to have receded this week with Pirelli announcing immediate changes for Germany, where teams will use Kevlar-belted rear tyres as opposed to the steel-belted tyres they have used thus far in 2013. A whole new range of tyres, mixing 2012 structures with 2013 rubber compounds, will then be introduced from Hungary onwards.
Formula One's governing body, the FIA, has also announced changes to the regulations allowing teams to test the new tyres at Silverstone prior to the race in Budapest at the end of the month.
Drivers had seemed fairly sanguine, but after a meeting of the drivers' body, FIA race director Charlie Whiting and Pirelli's racing manager Mario Isola, they issued what constitutes an unprecedented statement in recent Formula One history.
"The drivers of the Grand Prix Drivers Association wish to express their deepest concerns about the events that took place at Silverstone," the statement read. "We trust that the changes made to the tyres will have the desired results and that similar problems will not occur during the German GP weekend.
"We are ready to drive our cars to the limit, as we always do, and as is expected by our teams, sponsors and fans. However, the drivers have decided that, if similar problems manifest themselves during the German GP, we shall immediately withdraw from the event, as this avoidable problem with the tyres endangers again the lives of drivers, marshals and fans."
Jenson Button, a director of the GPDA, had earlier described talk of a boycott as "irrelevant", saying "it's all good now as we have some good tyres on the car".
It is unclear whether the statement had been planned or something was said in the meeting with Whiting and Isola which spooked the drivers and prompted them to take a stronger stance.
The big question going forwards is what do the tyre problems mean for the championship? Drivers sounded as confused as anyone yesterday, although Mercedes are expected to profit from the return to Kevlar belts, which should be temperatures down by 10C or so. The Brackley team have suffered with overheating tyres during races this year.
"Possibly it will reset the championship but the fact is our car is quick," Lewis Hamilton said. "It doesn't matter which tyres we put on. I just hope the car feels as strong here as it did last weekend at Silverstone."

Assessment of Safe Navigation Including the Effect of Ship-Ship Interaction in Restricted Waterways
Lee, Chun-Ki ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 247~252
This paper is mainly concerned with the assessment of safe navigation between ships moving each other in restricted waterways. The numerical simulation of manoeuvring motion was conducted parametrically to propose an appropriate safe speed and distance, which is required to avoid sea accident under the different conditions, such as ship-velocity ratios, ship-length ratios, separation and stagger between ships. As for the calculation parameters, the ratios of velocity difference between two ships were considered as 0.6, 1.2, 1.5 and the ones of ship-length difference were regarded were regarded as 0.5, 1.0, 1.18. From the inspection of this investigation, it indicates the following result. Firstly, the separation between ships is more needed for the small vessel, compared to the large vessel. Secondly, the lateral distance between ships is necessarily required for the velocity ration of 1.2, compared to the cases of 0.6 and 1.5. The manoeuvring characteristics based on this investigation will be very useful for keeping the safety of navigation from the practical point of ships design and traffic control in confined water.
The Prediction of Hydrodynamic Forces Acting on Ship Hull in Laterally Berthing Maneuver Using CFD
Lee, Yun-Sok ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 253~258
To evaluate the unsteady motion in laterally berthing maneuver, it is necessary to grasp very clearly the magnitude and properties of the hydrodynamic forces acting on ship hull in shallow water. In this study, numerical calculation was made to investigate quantitatively the hydrodynamic force according to the water depth for Wigley model using the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) technique. Comparing the computational results to the experimental ones, the validity of the CFD method was verified. The numerical solutions evaluated the hydrodynamic force with good accuracy, and then captured the features of the flow field around the ship in detail. The transitional lateral force in a state ranging from rest to uniform motion is modeled by using the concept of the circulation.
Application of Side Scan Sonar to Disposed Material Analysis at the Bottom of Coastal Water and River
Lee, Joong-Woo ; An, Do-Gyoung ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 259~266
Due to the growth of population and industrial development at the coastal cities, there has been much increase in necessity to effective control of the wastes into the coastal water and river. The amount of disposal at those waters has been increased rapidly ana it is necessary for us to track of it in order to keep the waterway safe and the water clean. The investigation and research in terms of water quality in these regions have been conducted frequently but the systematic survey of the disposed wastes at the bottom was neglected and/or minor. In this study we surveyed the status of disposed waste distribution at the bottom of coastal water and river from the scanned images. The intensity of sound received by the side scan sonar tow fish from the sea floor provides information as to the general distribution and characteristics of the superficial wastes. The port and starboard side scanned images produced from two arrays of transducers borne on a tow fish connected by tow cable to a tug boat have the area with width of 22m~112m and band of 44m~224m. All data are displayed in real-time on a high-resolution color display (
pixels) together with position information by DGPS. From the field measurement and analysis of the recorded images, we could draw the location and distribution of bottom disposals. Furthermore, we could make a database system which might be useful for navigation and fundamental for planning the waste reception and process control system.
Design of Passive-Type Radar Reflector
Yim, Jeong-Bin ; Kim, Woo-Suk ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 267~272
This paper describes design method of Passive-type Radar Reflector (PRR) which is to provide the requirement of newly revised 2000 SOLAS regulations on the Radar Reflector. The main target of this work is to find the optimum shape of a radar target having large Radar Cross Section (RCS). Through the RCS analysis based on the theoretical approach, two kinds of PRR models, RRR-F model for use in fisheries and PRR-S model for use in small sized ship, are designed and discussed their RCS performance. RCS measurement tests for the various sized samples are carried out in an anechoic chamber. As evaluation results it was clearly shown that the conventional sphere-type shows optimum shape in case of PRR-S, while the cylinder-type which consists of large sized corner clusters or zig-zag flat plats gives best performance in case of PRR-F.
AGV Navigation Using a Space and Time Sensor Fusion of an Active Camera
Jin, Tae-Seok ; Lee, Bong-Ki ; Lee, Jang-Myung ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 273~282
This paper proposes a sensor-fusion technique where rho data sets for the previous moments are properly transformed and fused into the current data sets to enable accurate measurement, such as, distance to an obstacle and location of the service robot itself. In the conventional fusion schemes, the measurement is dependent only on the current data sets. As the results, more of sensors are required to measure a certain physical promoter or to improve the accuracy of the measurement. However, in this approach, intend of adding more sensors to the system, the temporal sequence of the data sets are stored and utilized for the measurement improvement. Theoretical basis is illustrated by examples md the effectiveness is proved through the simulation. Finally, the new space and time sensor fusion (STSF) scheme is applied to the control of a mobile robot in the indoor environment and the performance was demonstrated by the real experiments.
A Study on Performance Evaluation based on Packet Dropping in ATM Network . New Scheme Proposal
Park, Seung-Seob ; Yuk, Dong-Cheol ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 283~288
Recently, the growth of applications and services over high-speed Internet increases, ATM networks as wide area back-bone has been a major solution. As the conventional TCP/IP suite is still the standard protocol used to support upper application on current. Internet, the issues regarding whether TCP/IP will operate efficiently on top of an ATM infrastructure and how to control its QoS still remain for studies. TCP uses a window-based protocol for flow control in the transport layer. When TCP uses the UBR service in ATM layer, the control method is only buffer management. If a cell is discarded in ATM layer, one whole packet of TCP will be lost; this fact occur the most TCP performance degradation. Several dropping strategies, such as Tail Drop, EPD, PPD, SPD, FBA, have been proposed to improve the TCP performance over ATM. In this paper, to improve the TCP performance, we propose a packet dropping scheme that is based on comparison with EPD, SPD and FBA. Our proposed scheme is applied to schemes discussed in the previous technology. Our proposed scheme does not need to know each connection's mean packet size. When the buffer exceeds the given threshold, it is based on comparison between the number of dropped packet and the approved packet. Our results are reported and discussed for comparing these discarding schemes under similar conditions. Although the number of virtual channel (VC) is increased, the simulation results showed that the proposed scheme can allocate more fairly each VC than other scheme.
Analysis of Factors Influencing the Composition of Oil Tanker Fleet of Domestic Refinery Companies
Bek, Gihon ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 289~295
The international oil majors have been reducing the size of their own oil tanker fleet since early 1980s. Like international oil majors, the Korean refineries are becoming more dependent on tanker chartering rather than tanker ownership for their oil transportation since the 1990s. They also prefer spot charter to time charter and this kind of trend has continued up to now. Consequently, this paper attempted to find the factors influencing changes in tanker fleet composition. To attain the object of the paper, an empirical study is adopted using the ten decision-making factors derived from preceeding studies. The findings are that MARPOL and OPA 90, and transportation costs are the most important factors influencing an oil tanker fleet composition.
A Comparative Study on European Container Terminal Operation System
Han, Chul-Hwan ; Kim, Yong-Wong ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 297~306
As the competition in the liner shipping industry is becoming fiercer, the shipping company is trying to find the way to keep the best competitive position by reducing the cost level as low as possible and offering the best quality of service to their customer. In order to achieve this goal, the selection of port and terminal that have the best quality of service and cost effective structure is essential for the shipping line, where they can only have a chance to save the money. In this context, the paper compares three European container terminals in order to understand the factors that have to be considered in the decision making process for the selection of terminal. And its advantages and disadvantages of each type of container terminal operation system were analyzed from the liner shipping company's point of view in terms of cost, time, flexibility, stability, hinterland connection, geographical position and terminal productivity. It is obvious that the cost factors are very important for liner shipping company to select their terminal. However, there might be even more important factors than the cost factors, such as quality of port and terminal service, mutual trust, and possibility of future development.
A Study on the Product Categorization Model for Efficient Search in On-line Chartering
Choi, Hyung-Rim ; Park, Nam-kyu ; Park, Young-Jae ; Park, Yong-Sung ; Kang, Si-Hyeob ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 307~313
Off-line ship chartering is done nearly through the brokers. Because of the international scale of chartering market, brokers spend too much times and costs on searching the most appropriate product which the consumers want. In this research, we propose the on-line Charter Product Categorization Model to search the products efficiently in the Cyber Chartering System. This Model will make concerned parties of the ship chartering to get unified product information efficiently, and the select the most appropriate product. In this research, we classified the ship chartering products into categories of cargo, ship type, and sea routes, and defined mutual relation of each products, and we verified that this classification is necessary to search the products through the product searching experiment.
A Study on the Classification of Chinese Major Ports based on Competitiveness Level
Lee, Hong-Girl ; Yeo, Ki-Tae ; Ryu, Hyung-Geun ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 315~320
Since the beginning of open-door policy, China has been making rapid annual growth with an average 10% economic development. And due to this rapid growth, cargo volumes via ports have been also rapidly increased, and accordingly, current China government has intensively invested in port development. Further, this development project is significantly big scale, compared with those project which Korea and Japan have. Thus, China is beginning to threaten Korean ports, especially Busan port which try to be a hub port in Northeast Asia. For this reason, it has been very important issue for Korea and Busan port to investigate or analyze Chinese ports based on empirical data. Especially, although various studies related to Shanghai and Hong Kong have been conducted, the competitiveness of overall Chinese major ports has been little studied. In this paper, we analyzed competitiveness level of eight Chinese ports with capabilities as container terminal, based on reliable sources. From data analysis, eight Chinese ports were classified into four groups according to competitiveness level. Rankings among four clusters based on competitiveness level are cluster(Hone Kong), cluster C(Shanghai), cluster A(Qingdao, Tianjin, and Yantian) and cluster D(Dalian, Shekou, and Xiamen).
The Analysis of MOUs and their Activities Related to Port State Control
Min, Byung-Sun ; Kim, Soon-Kap ; Kong, Gil-Young ; Kim, Chol-Seong ; Lee, Yoon-Sok ; Kim, Jung-Man ; Lee, Chung-Ro ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 321~327
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is the document of intent signed between the Port States Control(PSC) to undertake a uniform as agreed. Though the MOU is not a legally binding, in case where the agreed items are violated without a just cause, the denunciation will follow. International Maritime Organization (IMO) and regional MOUs have been making amendments and reinforcing the relevant requirements, so that port State Authorities can effectively eradicate the substandard vessels. However, the various problems have arisen due to the existence of different requirements of each MOU, the lack of information exchange between each MOU, the lack of uniform PSC implementation within the same MOU and the lack of adequate system due to the short history of MOUs. In this paper, the MOU records for three years (1999∼2001) were analyzed according to each MOU, type of ship, deficiency code, classification society, the number of inspected ships and the number of detained ships to assess the problems (Statistics during 2002 will be published after August 2003). The purpose of this study is to help better understand the PSC activities within each MOU and to establish effective countermeasures by grasping the problems that exist in the PSC at present.
Waterfront Development Project Pattern Analysis of the Coastal Zone Management of the Osaka Bay
Yang, Jae-Joon ; Yhang, Wii-Joo ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 329~333
Study of the background and state of Osaka's waterfront space development and analysis of the functions of 22 chosen major facilities of development project reveals the following four types: amenity-oriented development, large-scale synthesis type development, renewal compound area type development, exchange communication promotion type development. Osaka bay area has served primely as the base of harbors, industry and energy, while analysis of the ongoing project has found that the city has been making a functional transition to a type of development to live up to the needs of the times, suggesting that is wise that Korea's future direction of waterfront development be oriented toward environmental-friendly development by taking advantage of low-density area's natural resources. Given the plurality and complexity of the law of coastal zone, what is needed is a legal maintenance for coastal zone's clear-cut coordinating function and for environmental-friendly development with the limitations of seaside and coastal functions in mind.

Yeo, Ki-Tae ; Jeong, Hui-Gyun ; Yi, Gi-Chul ; Suh, Sang-Hyun ; Park, Chang-Ho ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 335~343
Currently serious conflicts of interests are arisen for the use of coastal area in Korea. However, there no mediation program, mediators' consistent policies and reasonable laws to resolve conflict of interests which may be arisen when developing coastal area. The objective of this study is to lay the evaluation criteria for the formalized objective evaluation among disputants of coastal conflicts for the better understanding and characterizing of coastal conflicts in Korea. In order to do so, this study has adopted for the extraction of the evaluation factors to describe the present conditions of conflicts in the selected study area(Sihwa lake), to analyze the problems, and then to explore alternative approaches for resolving the conflicts. As research methodologies, we have depended upon literature review and field survey methods. As field survey methods, we employed structured questionnaires for the various samples from the experts of research institutes, professors, representatives of NGOs and citizens. Survey results suggested that 5 representative elements comprising 35 detailed elements could be identified. Based on these results, this study was able to identify and classify the evaluation factors and help to resolve coastal conflicts in Korea.
International Tourists 'Attitude to Theme Park Development of Busan
Hwang, Young-Woo ; Yhang, Wii-Joo ;
Journal of Navigation and Port Research, volume 27, issue 3, 2003, Pages 345~349
A theme park is a tourism destination attracting a lot of tourists. Many local authorities establish theme parks within their own territory. Busan Metropolitan City tries to host an attractive theme park, and to make the city known as the tourism destination for 21st century. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a policy and management strategy of theme park based on questionnaire analysis for international tourists visiting Busan. First, it is needed to supply low land price to reduce construction cost and to attract investors from the public and private sectors. Second, the theme park has to have attractive themes and new events for repeaters. Third, infra structures related to the theme parks should be provided for the easy accessibility. Finally more emphasis should be placed on public relation and service education for employees.

VOD: Run onto the field at the New Orleans Bowl with Louisiana-Lafayette
This was a pretty cool idea: put a camera on a player's helmet and film a point-of-view experience of running onto the field for a bowl game.
Over at the college football page on Reddit, a poster named pvk8336 said he put a GoPro camera on a Louisiana-Lafayette player's helmet before the New Orleans Bowl. Then it shot a very clear and pretty cool video right inside the Ragin' Cajuns' tunnel before they take the field.
The video continues through the team running onto the field at the New Orleans Bowl, something most of us won't experience. It was a great idea and pulled off well. If you've ever wondered what it's like in the moments just before a big game for a team in the tunnel, this is a pretty good virtual experience.
