Actor Sylvester Stallone has sold his retreat at Lake Sherwood for $4.2 million.
The 1.75-acre property in Thousand Oaks sits on more than 500 feet of waterfront. A 3,600-square-foot main house, built in 1946, has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Additional structures include a boathouse, guest quarters and caretaker's quarters.
Stallone, 65, first starred in the mid-1970s as boxer Rocky Balboa in the "Rocky" movie series. He went on to play John Rambo in "First Blood" (1982) and has continued that role as recently as 2008 in "Rambo." Last year he starred in "The Expendables," and he will appear in "The Expendables 2," due out next summer.
The lakefront property had been listed at $4,495,000. Public records show he bought the house in 2008 for $4.85 million.
Jordan Cohen of Re/Max Olson & Associates, Westlake Village, handled both sides of the transaction.

Money-laundering operations are designed to take the proceeds of illegal activity, such as profits from fraud, and disguise the existence, source or application of those funds so the proceeds appear to come from a legitimate source. In short, "dirty money" is made to appear clean. Once illegal money has been laundered, the perpetrator is able to spend or invest the illicit income in legitimate assets.
This course explores the money laundering process, reviewing the methods used to launder funds, discussing laws and regulations used to combat money laundering and explaining techniques used to investigate it.
You Will Learn How To:
Identify the different stages of the money laundering process
Determine which anti-money laundering regulations are violated by particular schemes
Recognize traditional and contemporary methods of money laundering
Identify offshore havens and their functionality and how money launderers use them
Compare techniques for investigating money laundering
Ascertain the best methods for tracing and discovering hidden assets

Online Self-Study Troubleshooting Guide:
Problem: When I attempt to access my courses from "My Online Learning," the course never launches, or I receive an error message saying my pop-up blocker needs to be turned off.
Solution: Your web browser must be configured to allow pop-ups in order to access ACFE Self-Study courses. Your browser may prompt you to allow pop-ups, or you may have to allow them manually. You may either allow them for all sites, or allow them just for the
current site.
For information on how to manage your pop-up blocker settings in a specific browser, click the link below that corresponds to the browser you are using:
Internet Explorer
Google Chrome
Also note that many toolbars, such as the Google Toolbar and Yahoo! include pop-up blockers as well. If you have one or more toolbars installed on your browser with built-in pop-up blockers, you must configure them to allow pop-ups.
Problem: When I click on a course from "My Online Learning," I am presented with a login page, but my ACFE.com username and password won't allow me to log in.
Solution: You do not have to log in a second time to access your online self-study. You most likely reached the login page because you clicked the link labeled "Click Here" as shown below:
Do not click that link; instead, allow your browser to automatically open the eLearning window on its own, which should happen after a few seconds. This will log you in automatically so that you can access your online courses.
Problem: I receive the following error when I try to load a different lesson with a course:
Solution: This occurs in Internet Explorer when trying to load a different lesson without closing the current lesson. This error can be avoided two different ways:
Always close the current lesson before going to another one. Always click the Close Window button (usually the red "X" in the upper right corner) of the current lesson before clicking on another lesson.
Use a different browser. This error seems to only occur in Internet Explorer, so using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome should resolve the issue (see below for links to download either of these browsers).
Other Troubleshooting Tips: If you encounter other errors, such as courses freezing or crashing, we recommend taking the following action:
Try a different browser. ACFE online self-study courses are designed to run on all modern web browsers, but if you encounter a problem that is not solved using one of the suggestions above, you can try using a different web browser to see if it eliminates the problem. We have most frequently seen where using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome has resolved an issue that was seen in Internet Explorer.
Mozilla Firefox can be downloaded
Google Chrome can be downloaded

Last week, Kathy in Saugus wrote asking about a chicken fricassee recipe that ran in the Daily News many years ago. It was so many years, in fact, that our archives have failed us. But we believe we can help Kathy anyway with her question about the sauce.
She writes: "I don't remember how much cornstarch to add to the 2 cups of milk."
We would try setting aside about 1/2 cup of the milk, then dividing it into two 1/4 cups. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in one of the 1/4 cups of milk. Add this slurry to your pan, first making sure the liquid in the pan is boiling. Stir vigorously. If the resulting gravy is still too thin, make another slurry with 1 more tablespoon cornstarch in the other 1/4 cup of milk. If it is too thick, thin it with the remaining milk. We hope that helps, and if anyone has a chicken fricassee recipe clipped out of the Daily News, please pass it on.
Now for a question. Elsie in South Gate writes:
"I would like to find out where to buy bottles of Del Monte chili sauce in the Los Angeles area. I have looked in many stores but can't find it. It's much better than Heinz. I use it in my baked brown beans casserole."
We discovered amazon.com sells this sauce, but only in packs of 12. This may be an option if you plan to make a lot of casseroles.
Finally, a request that is obscure enough to torment us for years.
Retha in Los Angeles writes: "In the '60s and '70s, we went to the Sea Lion restaurant in Malibu. We always had the halibut, which was delicious. It had a red sauce on it that was excellent. I would love it if anyone can find the recipe for that sauce or anything close. I've never had any halibut that comes close to the one at the Sea Lion."
Research tells us that Sea Lion owner Chris Polos died in 1986 at the age of 99. He had opened his restaurant in the mid-'40s. It became as popular for its cuisine as for the live sea lions that greeted patrons from a pool at the entrance. Polos didn't believe in retirement, and continued to live above the restaurant after he had sold it to new owners two years before his death. Duke's of Malibu is now on the site.
If any members of the Polos family, or former Sea Lion staffers would like to weigh in on the secrets of the halibut red sauce, we would be most grateful.

text: Ideally, you should travel with US $200 - $300 cash or travelers' checks, including at least $50 in US currency and coins. If you need to exchange money, try to do so at your port of entry. You may have an immediate need for cash (meals, taxis, and telephones) and the Des Moines airport does not have a currency exchange. Please do NOT travel with large amounts of cash. Travelers checks in US dollars are safe, can be easily exchanged for cash at banks, and allow you to make necessary purchases shortly after you arrive. Larger sums of money (for example, to cover tuition or fees) can be carried as bank drafts, or wired to you after you open an account in Des Moines. Even if you expect to do some shopping shortly after you arrive, you should not need more than US $200 - $300 during your first week or so.

Why Do You Need To Know About Karnaugh Maps?What Is a Karnaugh Map?Using Karnaugh MapsSome ObservationsProblems
Karnaugh Maps are used for many small design problems. It's true that many larger designs are done using computer implementations of different algorithms. However designs with a small number of variables occur frequently in interface problems and that makes learning Karnaugh Maps worthwhile. In addition, if you study Karnaugh Maps you will gain a great deal of insight into digital logic circuits.
In this section we'll examine some Karnaugh Maps for three and four variables. As we use them be particularly tuned in to how they are really being used to simplify Boolean functions.
The goals for this lesson include the following.
Given a Boolean function described by a truth table or logic function,Draw the Karnaugh Mapfor the function.
Use the information from a Karnaugh Map to determine the smallest sum-of-products function.
A Karnaugh Map is a grid-like representation of a truth table. It
is really just another way of presenting a truth table, but the mode of
presentation gives more insight. A Karnaugh map has zero and one
entries at different positions. Each position in a grid corresponds
to a truth table entry. Here's an example taken from the voting circuit
presented in the lesson on Minterms. The truth table is shown first.
The Karnaugh Map for this truth table is shown after the truth table.
At first, it might seem that the Karnaugh Map is just another way of presenting the information in a truth table. In one way that's true. However, any time you have the opportunity to use another way of looking at a problem advantages can accrue to you. In the case of the Karnaugh Map the advantage is that the Karnaugh Map is designed to present the information in a way that allows easy grouping of terms that can be combined.
Let's start by looking at the Karnaugh Map we've already encountered. Look at two entries side by side. We'll start by focussing on the ones shown below in gray.
Let's examine the map again.
Notice that the order of terms isn't random. Look across the top boundary of the Karnaugh Map. Terms go 00, 01, 11, 10. If you think binary well, you might have ordered terms in order 00, 01, 10, 11. That's the sequence of binary numbers for 0,1,2,3. However, in a Karnaugh Map terms are not arranged in numerical sequence! That's done deliberately to ensure that crossing each horizontal or vertical cell boundary will reflect a change of only one variable. In the numerical sequence, the middle two terms, 01, and 10 differ by two variables! Anyhow, when only one variable changes that means that you can eliminate that variable, as in the example above for the terms in the gray area.
Let's check the claim made on above. Click on the buttons to shade groups of terms and to find out what the reduced term is.
The Karnaugh Map is a visual technique that allows you to generate groupings of terms that can be combined with a simple visual inspection. The technique you use is simply to examine the Karnaugh Map for any groups of ones that occur. Grouping ones into the largest groups possible and ensuring that all ones in the table have been included are the first step in using a Karnaugh Map.
In the next section we will examine how you can generate groups using Karnaugh Maps. First, however, we will look at some of the kinds of groups that occur in Truth Tables, and how they appear in Karnaugh Maps.
Click on these buttons to show some groupings. There's one surprise, but it really is correct. In each case, be sure that you understand the term that the group represents.
There is a small surprise in one grouping above. The lower left and the lower right 1s actually form a group. They differ only in having B and its' inverse. Consequently they can be combined. You will have to imagine that the right end and the left end are connected.
So far we have focussed on K-maps for three variables. Karnaugh Maps are useful for more than three variables, and we'll look at how to extend ideas to four variables here. Shown below is a K-map for four variables.
Note the following about the four variable Karnaugh Map.
Here is a group of 2 in a 4-variable map.
Note that Y and Z are 00 and 01 at the top of the two columns in which you find the two 1s. The variable, Z, changes from a 0 to a 1 as you move from the left cell to the right cell. Consequently, these two 1s are not dependent upon the value of Z, and Z will not appear in the product term that results when we combine the 1s in this group of 2. Conversely, W, X and Y will be in the product term. Notice that in the row in which the 1s appear, W = 0 and X = 1. Also, in the two columns in which the 1s appear we have Y = 0. That means that the term represented by these two cells is:
P1. Here is a Karnaugh map with two entries. Determine the product term represented by this map.
In the upper left:-
By combining the first two terms above (the two terms at the top of the Karnaugh Map):-
By now you should have inferred the rules for getting the sum-of-products form from the Karnaugh map.
P2. Here is a Karnaugh Map with four entries. What is the sum-of-products form for the four ones shown?
P3. Here is a Karnaugh Map with four entries. What is the sum-of-products form for the four ones shown?
P4. Here is a Karnaugh Map with four entries. What is the sum-of-products form for the four ones shown?
P5. Here is a Karnaugh Map with eight entries. What is the sum-of-products form for the four ones shown?
There are a few further observations that should be made. Note the following.

I've commented before on the nearly perfect inverse relationship between the S&P 500 and the VIX. When the SPX goes up the VIX goes down, and vice-versa.
A few people have written to say that actually it's not all that uncommon for both the SPX and VIX to close up for the day, or for both to close down for the day.
Well, we're both right. It turns out a lot depends on your time frame.
Below is a chart of the SPX and VIX, with each bar representing one minute. This is how I like to look at it. The almost-perfect inverse relationship is unmistakable.
And yet, look closer and you'll see that on 9-3 both the SPX and the VIX closed DOWN for the day! I could say "As always, the inverse SPX/VIX relationship held almost to perfection." And you could say "No, they both closed down." And we'd both be right.
Far more interesting is when once in a blue moon – actually, far more rarely – you have a day such as last Wednesday July 15 (Figure 2 below). Not only was the SPX/VIX close-to-close relationship positive (they both closed up), but much more importantly, that correlation was just plain positive the whole day:
I wasn't the only one struck by the SPX/VIX action that day – Bill Luby of http://vixandmore.blogspot.com/ wrote:
"The intraday tick for tick positive correlation between the VIX and the SPX was as strong as I have ever seen. Most of the time the VIX and the SPX move in opposite directions. Today it was almost as if someone has inverted the gravitational forces acting upon these two indices."
What does it mean? In response to a comment, I wrote the following on July 16:
"So my best guess is that yesterday's VIX anomaly represents skepticism that the stock market rise is for real, which is quite bullish."
In other words, my take on it is that that day the SPX rose steadily to close almost 27 points higher. But the more it rose, the more SPX option traders refused to believe the rise could last, so the more they bought portfolio insurance in the form of SPX options, driving the VIX higher.
Rising bearishness in the face of rising prices is of course strongly bullish. And indeed, in the 7 trading days from July 15 to July 24, the S&P 500 cash index rose from 932 to 979.
Days such as July 15 – as charted in Figure 2 – occur so rarely they're hard to study. But when you see the normal minute-by-minute inverse SPX/VIX relationship broken for an entire day, it seems clear to me that the market doesn't buy that day's trend. Meaning there's a high probability it will continue for the immediate future.

Ultra Street Fighter 4 Trailer: Decapre Joins the Fight
The fifth and final new character to join the Ultra Street Fighter 4 roster has been revealed. Folks, meet Decapre.
Decapre made her debut in Street Fighter Alpha 3 as one of Bison's Dolls. Now she joins the fray along with Elena, Rolento, Hugo and Poison in Ultra Street Fighter 4. She's got a look very similar to Cammy's, only with a decidedly more Shadaloo motif and a Russian accent. As you can see from the trailer above, all of her moves are just as acrobatic as Cammy's, if not more brutal thanks to her quick speed and claws.
You'll have your first chance to try out this Doll when she joins the rest of the World Warriors this June when Ultra Street Fighter 4 is released for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

School board fine tunes goals
The Moose Lake School Board met in a working meeting on Monday, September 9, to fine tune its strategic goals.
The board had met with Sandy Gundlach of the Minnesota School Board Association in August and had targeted five areas where preliminary goals were identified.
Gundlach had compiled the information and the school board members received it at last month's regular meeting of the board.
The Monday meeting was to finalize the goals and to set timelines for completion.
The five goals that have been identified are: Student Learning and Achievement, Finance, Facilities and Property, Build Community Relations and School and Community Pride, and Support Services.
The number of goals was reduced to four when Support Services was removed. It was said that many goals with Support Services, such as tracking and providing services for struggling students, was already in place. Other goals were identified in previous goals.
The board set high goals for Student Learning and Achievement: MCA scores and graduation rates to be the highest in the area, decrease the number of required college remediation classes, and increase the variety of curricular offerings. That would be an ongoing goal, to be reviewed annually by the board.
Increasing the amount of public relations to market the school and its offerings and achievements was also identified. Various forms of media were named, and it was said that all could be used to market the school. It would be an ongoing project once the new ideas were implemented.
Ongoing efforts would also be made to improve the curriculum. That would results in increased test scores and increased enrollment, especially open enrollment. The board will ask the staff to determine if that goal is feasible by next summer. New offerings could be implemented in three years.
For Finance, the main goal was to increase the unassigned expenditures in the General Fund to eight weeks, instead of three weeks, as it is now.
That goal could be accomplished by continuing efforts to increase student enrollment, writing grants, continue to seek legislative assistance to fund district building needs, research new proposals and existing programs to determine need and viability, and work with the city to develop the property along Highway 73 and County Road 10.
The timeline for the goals was one year, with researching programs a three-year project.
For Facilities and Property the goals were: Maintain the existing district buildings, determine the full cost of damages to the school building and grounds from the 2012 flood, determine the community's expectations to funding a building that meets the students' needs and develop a plan, and decide what to do with the Family Center building downtown.
For the damage to the school building, there will be an annual inspection and report made. Several of the board members expressed concerns about damages appearing in the future that were not apparent after the clean-up from the flood waters.
The board members expressed a desire to maximize the profit potential by renting more space in the Family Center to appropriate businesses or services, or to sell the building.
All were one-year projects, with the community's expectations for the building and students needs set for five years.
Building Community Relations and Pride also included developing mutually beneficial strategic partnerships with business, government, other school districts and the community.
Assessing, developing and implementing a district-wide communication plan that promotes the students and district was one objective that was identified. The timeline for that goal was two years.
Another objective was to create opportunities and/or respond to requests to speak with community groups, parents, city and individuals within the school district. That would result in building relationships. The timeline for that goal was one year.
Support Services, which included the goals of engaging in an ongoing review of existing support services to determine areas of need and recommend appropriate action, such as counseling and nutrition; and review existing services and consider additional support services for the community as practical, such as child care, before and after school day care and adult programming, were said to already being provided or included in the other goals.
The category was eliminated.
The monthly meeting of the Moose Lake School Board was set for Monday, September 16, at 5 p.m. in Room 115 at the school. Note the time change.

Deafness is a severe or complete loss of hearing.
Deafness can occur in one or both ears. It can happen slowly or suddenly. Early detection and management can lessen the impact on quality of life.
Types of deafness may include:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Sound waves travel from the outside and through structures in the outer, middle, and inner ear. The auditory nerve transmits the signal to the brain where it is translated into sound. Interruption of the sound wave can occur in the ear structures, the auditory nerve, or in the brain where sound waves are translated. This interruption can result in deafness.
Deafness can be present at birth (or soon after) or acquired anytime throughout life. In many cases, the cause of deafness may be unknown.
Factors related to fetal development and birth that may increase the chance of deafness include:
Factors that may increase the chance of acquired deafness may include:
Symptoms may be gradual or sudden depending on the cause. Signs of deafness can occur at any age. Some symptoms include:
Symptoms of deafness in infants and toddlers may be noted at these stages:
All children, including newborns, should be screened for hearing loss.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. As part of the diagnosis, your doctor may try to determine the following:
Your ears may be tested. This can be done with:
Images may be taken of your ears and surrounding structures. This can be done with:
Treatment for deafness depends on the cause. Some types are permanent can cannot be treated. Lifestyle changes are an important part of coping with deafness. Some forms of deafness can be partially treated with surgery. You and your doctor will discuss the best treatment options for you.
Lifestyle changes may include:
If you are planning to go to a new place, such as a theater or hotel, find out what accommodations or assistance is available before you arrive.
It is common to feel isolated and removed in social situations. This can lead to feelings of depression or social anxiety. Part of managing deafness may include counseling or a support group.
cochlear implant
directly stimulates part of the brain and uses a tiny computer microprocessor to sort out incoming sound.
It can be for certain types of hearing loss that affect the inner ear.
Deafness may not be preventable in all people.
Hearing screening for newborns can help ensure that hearing loss in young babies is detected and treated at the earliest possible stage. This will lessen the impact on your baby's life.

Health department nurse Sherry Farr is reminding people to get their flu shots.
"Swine flu seems to be a rather mild virus, but seasonal flu is coming up," Farr said. "Everybody needs their vaccines as soon as they're available. The health department won't wait until Oct. 1 this year. As soon as they're in we'll get them to you."
Due to an upswing in whooping cough, the department is pushing pertussis boosters, which for adults are part of the tetanus shot. It also includes a diphtheria booster.
"If you haven't had a tetanus shot in five years or more you need one," she said.

Home to polar bears, seabirds and walruses, Spitsbergen is an Arctic wildlife paradise
If there is such a thing as a "classic Arctic" expedition, this is it. You'll get all the best of Spitsbergen, by exploring the western edge of the island and venturing to some outlying northern areas home to polar bears and walrus. You'll come across colonies of seabirds numbering into the thousands and watch for whales in the water. This is the perfect expedition for exploring the "wildlife capital of the Arctic".

Why you'll love this trip
Uncover the incredible landscape of Spitsbergen, from the quirky northernmost city of Longyearbyen and brilliantly blue glaciers like the '14th July Glacier', to stunning fjords and towering mountains and cliffs
Experience the unique and memorable sensation of 24 hours of sunlight
Scour sheets of ice and hopefully be rewarded with unforgettable sightings of the ruler of the Arctic – the Polar Bear
With endless daylight there are also endless wildlife-viewing opportunities – elusive Arctic foxes, breaching whales, lounging masses of walruses, and enchanting seabirds dotted along the cliffs of Alkefjellet
Choose to get even closer to this amazing environment with optional activities like snowshoeing, hiking, and gliding along pristine waters between icebergs in a sea kayak
Is this trip right for you?
As you'd expect, temperatures in the Arctic are very cold. A warm parka will be provided along with waterproof boots and unlimited hot drinks, but you should also bring base layers and lots of warm clothing. Please see the trip notes for further important information about what to bring.
Weather depending, you will be making regular excursions in a Zodiac boat to explore the local area and look for wildlife. It can get very cold and wet on the Zodiac, so make sure you are dressed appropriately and that you keep your camera safe and dry. Sturdy sea legs are needed as you make wet and dry landings from the boat, and on steep terrain, snow and other uneven surfaces. Some ships have a lot of stairs, so please hold on to the handrails if seas are rough.
The weather plays a pivotal part in this adventure and although there's an itinerary in place, there are no guarantees that you'll be able to do everything that is planned for. A level of flexibility and openness to embracing the unexpected are important in expedition travel, especially to such a remote area.
This trip takes places during the time of year that Spitsbergen enjoys 24-hour daylight. Just one of the benefits of this is that incredible wildlife can be seen at any time of the day – be prepared to be woken at any time so as to not miss out on exciting animal sightings.
Polar bears are one of the most incredible and appealing animals on the planet, but they are also powerful predators with little fear of humans. Therefore it's necessary to be aware of the guidelines surrounding any contact with Polar bears. Follow your leader's instructions and do not stray from your group – your leader carries equipment to protect you.

Special InformationIf you arrive today, an arrival transfer will be included. You will be transferred from the airport to Longyearbyen town for some free time. Your luggage will be transferred directly to the ship. Later in the afternoon, you will be collected from a central pick up point to be transferred to the ship.
For passengers arriving one day before the start of the itinerary, a transfer will be provided to your hotel. Please note, no pre voyage accommodation is included in the cost of the voyage but can be arranged if required.
Each expedition presents new opportunities so we have no fixed itinerary, however we do hope to visit some of our favorite destinations, including 14th of July Glacier, Smeerenburg, Phippsoya, Alkhornet and the Hinlopen Straight.
The destinations visited on your voyage will be selected for optimum wildlife viewing and appreciation of the history and geology of Spitsbergen. Polar bear viewing is almost guaranteed, with Phippsoya being one of their preferred hunting areas since the towering cliffs of Alkefjellet provide many free bird egg meals for both them and the Arctic fox.
Torellneset and Phippsoya are great places for walrus photography. Coming across a walrus haul-out is a moment you won't forget either. These giant pinnipeds of the Arctic create quite a noisy scene as each walrus vies for a choice spot of coastline.
If you're itching to get a little closer to the action, you can book the kayaking option and take an excursion to some of the more isolated pockets of Spitsbergen. Smeerenburg is a great place for snowshoeing (optional and complimentary outings on selected voyages), where you can visit a memorial erected in 1906. This historical site remembers the whalers who lost their lives in the 17th and 18th centuries while working in extreme Arctic conditions.
There is no shortage of natural beauty in Spitsbergen. The tundra can be surprisingly colorful in summer, with wildflowers bursting for a taste of sunshine. Each day you'll see something new, whether it is a rare bird species or an abandoned site from centuries ago.
This cliff is a seabird center, where Brünnich's guillemots (thick-billed murres) raise their young. An estimated 100,000 breeding pairs reside in the basalt cliffs. The birds do not build nests, rather they lay an egg on the bare ledge.
This is a well-known walrus haul-out. The pink color to a walrus' hide as it lies in the sun is caused by blood pumped to the skin's surface to aid cooling, similar to that of a hippopotamus in Africa.
In 1906, His Serene Highness Prince Albert I of
Monaco visited Lilliehöök Glacier to conduct scientific investigations. His great-great-grandson visited the glacier 100 years later. He, too, was part of a scientific investigation, this time to further our understanding of the arctic clam, a species that lives for more than a century. The growth rings of a single clam's shell contain evidence of the chemicals encountered by the clam. Scientists can determine the variations of the water's temperature and pollutant content by studying the shell.
Eighteen hundred people inhabit the administrative capital of Svalbard, which is situated on the shore of Isfjorden. The settlement was founded in 1905 by John Munroe Longyear, the majority owner of the Arctic Coal Company of Boston.
HSH Prince Albert I of Monaco, a pioneer of oceanography, led an expedition to Svalbard in 1906. His team used sophisticated photographic techniques to understand the shape and position of several glacier fronts. Monaco Glacier honors the expedition, the prince and the principality over which he reigned.
This is the second-largest island in the entire Svalbard Archipelago. The largest glacier in Europe is located on the island, which is a known habitat for reindeer and walrus.
On the western coast, this bay stretches south and east from the Wahlenberg Fjord. This is a typical polar desert where the 'ice bear' can sometimes be seen roaming in search of food.
This small archipelago is the northernmost land in Svalbard.
Englishmen left their mark during a survey of the islands in the 1780s. The party named the islands after themselves, with the smallest and least significant island being named Nelsonøya, after the lowly midshipman, who was promoted over the years to the rank and title of Vice Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson!
The following Optional Activities are available to participate in, on some or all of the departures of this itinerary. These must be booked in advance (additional costs apply) and space is limited.
KAYAKING – Our kayaking adventures are the best way to feel at one with the sea. Taken in small groups of maximum 16 people, multiple times per voyage, kayaking adventures are only conducted during calm weather conditions. Kayaking is open to all levels of experience, however kayaking in the polar waters is not suitable for novice kayakers. Beginners interested in kayaking should first take an introductory course prior to the voyage which includes how to do a wet exit. In addition regardless of your experience, we recommend you take part in some kayaking practise prior to the voyage to ensure that you are comfortable on the water in the icy conditions.
INCLUDED OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES offered on some or all departures of this itinerary
SNOWSHOEING - A novel way to experience the beauty of the polar landscape, and discover remote alcoves and hidden valleys. The rewards of walking atop the snow are well worth the effort, as we'll be able to visit new places that may be inaccessible on foot. This traditional means of transport across the snow comes from the indigenous people of North America. While you can appreciate a connection with the past, the snowshoes we use today are much lighter and more forgiving than the old wood-weave snowshoes used during the days of the North American fur trade.
HIKING - Hiking is a great way to appreciate the immense windswept landscapes of the Arctic. The tundra comes alive during the brief arctic summer, with bursts of color from shrubs and plants that eke out a living in this polar environment. You'll find each hike is different - exploring communities, shorelines or glaciated landscapes, often on the lookout for wildlife. Hiking participation is optional and your Expedition Team will advise you of what levels of activity you can expect prior to each excursion.

"Chronicle"is a very nifty first effort from director Josh Trank and screenwriter Max Landis.
Max is the son of legendary John Landis of "Animal House," "Trading Places" and "Twilight Zone" fame. This new film blends several movie genres in thoughtful and unexpected ways.
It's equal parts teen comedy, superhero adventure and dark morality play in one complex package. It focuses on three high school boys going through the usual teenage issues.
They stumble upon a strange hole in the ground. They enter to find a mysterious energy, which gives them telekinetic powers to move objects by thought alone.
At first, they play with their powers in goofy childish ways. But the tone changes dramatically as the sinister side of one boy's character slowly emerges. He begins to impulsively use his powers while in a vicious rage. At this point, great special effects take this film into the realm of serious science fiction.
The changes the teens go through are credibly depicted by the young director and writer, who are both only 26 years old. They take this wild plot from cool and clever into dark and disturbing territory without skipping a beat.
Hollywood will hear from both of them in the future.
Actresses man up in 'Albert Nobbs'
Is anyone else creeped out by the image of Glenn Close as"Albert Nobbs"?
This period drama of a quiet little waiter who is actually female has been a pet project of the actress for years.
Nobbs works in a small Dublin hotel, always wearing an odd, unblinking expression. She reminds one of a tiny bird, always watchful and fearful.
It is only when tall, strapping house painter Hubert Page arrives that Nobbs' world is turned upside down. Nobbs is forced to share her room with this stranger, and her secret is discovered. She is in utter terror until Page reveals that he too is a woman and living life happily on his/her own terms.
Nobbs, who dreams of setting up a small business, now sets her sights on a pretty maid (Mia Wasikowska) in a curiously sexless, businesslike manner. Nobbs' life has been such that she doesn't grasp the concept of the basic need for real love or affection. It's all just really, really sad.
Close gives a brave, taut performance and her Oscar nod is not surprising, as the Academy loves gender-bending roles.
But it's the nomination for Janet McTeer as Hubert that is most richly deserved. The 6-foot-1 actress breathes life into the film, and it is her vitality alone that makes "Albert Nobbs" bearable.
JOHN DEPKO is a retired senior investigator for the Orange County public defender's office. He lives in Costa Mesa and works as a licensed private investigator.

Online safety is of paramount importance to everyone that uses the internet. We fear (rightly) that our computers will become infected with malicious software, our identities stolen and our bank accounts cleared out.
Our fear has led to a burgeoning industry of anti virus, anti spyware and firewall software. Many of you will be familiar with the all too common complaint that "My PC is slow and it's <insert name of anti virus software> to blame." Well, that isn't the only problem with our would be protectors.
As well as an ever present creep towards bloatware (that's software that does more than you need and hogs your system while doing it), it turns out that the software we install is often the cause of our problems and not the cure.
In early December I was contacted by a few people that lost all connectivity to the internet while using Google Chrome. Delving into the situation I found that the problem was being caused by Trusteer Rapport. Uninstalling that fixed Chrome. Trusteer have now fixed the issue, so Chrome users can again use the browser extension. For the latest compatibility reports for Rapport, visit https://www.trusteer.com/support/compatibility-other-security-software
Also in December Google criticised AVG and blocked their Web Tune Up extension from automatically being installed in Chrome. Why? After an investigation by Google, they found the AVG extension was actually introducing vulnerabilities into Chrome, leaving around 9 millions users exposed. You can read a more indepth article about it here http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/12/29/avg_google_chrome_extension/
I recently saw a strange problem. A client was unable to login to their internet banking and received an error about DNS settings. I checked and their settings were fine. The cause of the problem? It was Rapport, the very software that the bank suggests you use. The client hadn't even realised it had been installed.
Should we stop using anti virus and related software? No! If you are using Windows it is essential. Just think carefully about that paid for version with all the bells and whistles. Is it really the one you need and do not be afraid to try out others.

The Bay Area is renowned for its natural beauty, affluence, diversity, and progressive thinking new age reputation. Lots of ammenities, tours and hotels can be found all around the area.San Francisco is the cultural and financial center of the Bay Area, and has the second highest population density of any major city in North America after New York City. It is also a major tourist destination, and transport and accommodation is plentiful, ranging from luxury hotels to cheap accommodation. San Jose is the largest city in terms of population, land area, and industrial development, and is the center of Silicon Valley, a well-known high technology region. Oakland is a major manufacturing and distribution center, rail terminus/hub, and has the fourth largest container shipping port in the United States.Largely because of San Francisco and Silicon Valley, the Bay Area presently ranks second only to the much larger New York City region in number of Fortune 500 company headquarters (April 2010 Fortune Magazine). source: wikipedia

While the NFL continues to investigate the San Diego Chargers for possibly using Stickum -- an adhesive that, when applied to a receiver's gloves, can help the player hold onto the football -- the Ravens are demonstrating that they need no such aid.
After dropping 37 passes last season which ranked as the seventh most in the league, the team's receivers have dropped just eight passes thus far, which is tied with the Minnesota Vikings for the fewest in the league. The numbers were compiled by STATS LLC.
The numbers were new to wide receiver Torrey Smith, who chalked it up to a matter of concentration.
"That's our job, to catch the ball. It's really that simple," he said. "We just want to go out there and make the play when it comes our way and try to make the tough catches. I guess we've been doing a good job of hanging onto the ball, which is always a great thing when you're a receiver or tight end."
According to Pro Football Focus, Smith and running back Ray Rice lead the team with two dropped passes each, while wide receiver Anquan Boldin and tight end Dennis Pitta have dropped one ball each. Wide receiver Jacoby Jones has yet to drop a pass.
Tight end Ed Dickson, who has dropped one pass, said no receiver enjoys missing an opportunity to make a play, but the key is to re-focus quickly for the next snap.
"Dropped balls are a part of the game," he said. "You can't be perfect. Nobody's perfect. That's an emphasis, and we've been focusing in on those little things. We try to catch every ball that we can, but if you have a drop, get over it, and that's one thing that our coaches wanted us to do, and we're doing a great job this year."
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Cleveland Browns, the Ravens' opponent this Sunday, has dropped 22 passes, which is tied with the Detroit Lions for the league lead in that category.
Wide receiver Greg Little has dropped five balls, tight end Owen Marecic four and rookie running back Trent Richardson three. But Ravens cornerback Cary Williams said the Browns could change their fortunes Sunday.
"It's an opportunity, but you can't look for them to drop the ball," Williams said. "You've got to go out there and make plays and play hard-nosed football each and every snap. Whenever you get an opportunity, you've got to make the best of them, and if they happen to have a mental lapse or take their hands off the ball and don't catch it, then I want to be there to make a play on the ball as best as I know how."

Mike Daisey was a complicated figure for the tech industry in 2012. On one hand, he forced us to pay attention to working conditions at the sprawling contracting manufacturing plants in China. On the other hand, he made stuff up, offering heartbreaking stories of suffering that simply weren't true.
Perhaps you can get away with embellishments in the theater, where Daisey makes a living, but his mistake was to air those same prevarications on respected radio show "This American Life." Daisey's reappearance on the show and his subsequent roasting by clearly peeved host Ira Glass was one of the most cringe-worthy moments of American media.

Dierks Bentley Records 'Weeds' Theme Song
Even if you're not a fan of Showtime's hit series, 'Weeds,' you're probably familiar with its theme song, 'Little Boxes.' Even hearing a few bars of the little ditty will have you humming the tune all day long. During 'Weeds" second and third seasons, a number of artists covered the catchy tune for the show. Now, it's about to become even more of an earworm since Dierks Bentley has agreed to record a country version of the song for the series' eighth season!
'Little Boxes' was originally recorded as a folk song about housing developments in San Francisco in 1962. Bentley will join a host of other artists who are covering the tune, including Ben Folds, The Decemberists, Steve Martin, Mountain Goats and more. We're excited to hear all genres of musicians cover the song, but as country music fans, we're obviously most excited to hear Bentley's take on the old song.
The eighth season of 'Weeds' will be the series' last. Luckily, Bentley will have a chance to remake the iconic folk song before the final episode airs. You can tune into this season's ninth episode to hear the country crooner perform 'Little Boxes' as the opening credits roll.
We're not sure when the 'Home' hitmaker actually found time in his busy schedule to record the cover song. Bentley has been playing live shows nearly every night since May, and he's not about to quit living life on the road any time soon. Bentley is playing several back-to-back shows during the next few months. For a complete list of tour dates, click here.

1993 Ford Mustang Cobra - Ultimate Goal
Eric Waters wants his '93 Cobra at the top of the Ultimate Street class
It seems the 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra is one of those Mustangs late-model purists want to get their hands on. The more stock and lower the miles the better. The '94-'98 Cobras have a smaller fan base, while the '99 and '01 Cobra club is even smaller. The '03-'04 Cobras took SVT vehicles to another level, and enthusiasts have modified almost all of them. In the Shelby GT500 realm, there's a balance between stockers and modified cars.
Still the '93 Cobra enjoys legendary status, even though they don't hold a candle to the performance of modern SVTs. The '93 Cobra could be the most hallowed SVT Mustang ever built. It was, after all, the first. And because of that, there are probably more stock '93s socked away in storage than any other SVT.
If you are one of those origininal SVT Cobra purists, you might want to turn the page. Eric Waters' Vibrant Red example is anything but stock. However, if you like fast Mustangs no matter what emblem is on the fender, keep reading.
You can't blame Eric for putting this Cobra on the racetrack. Though he had already robbed an '04 Cobra of its innocence, this snake already had rubber on the rear quarters when he bought it. Eric's former '04 Cobra, which he traded for this '93, featured twin 62mm turbochargers, TEA-ported heads, and had basically became a race car.
If you own a race car in the south, there's no doubt you've raced on an eighth-mile track, and possibly at one of Donald "Duck" Long's races. That was Eric's goal, to race in Ultimate Street at Duck races. The rules in Ultimate Street are a little tighter compared to X275 when it comes to engine displacement and power-adder possibilities. The power-adder limitations presented the main problem, though. His Terminator wouldn't easily fit into Ultimate Street rules. Its turbo setup would need a complete revamp. That's led him to trading for the Cobra you see here.
The '93 roughly had 20 passes on it when Eric sat in the driver seat. It already boasted the 342ci R302 combination, but with a 106mm single turbo, which definitely isn't Ultimate Street-legal. The previous owner was never able to get the Cobra to realize it potential. Eric took on the challenge to get it on the right track. "It was kind of raw," Eric says. It showed a lot of potential, but it was up to him to make that potential shine through.
Eric knew all the hardware was there, but the car needed some quality time in the shop. Its 106mm was choked by a tiny intercooler. Eric wasn't too concerned with the turbo setup. For Ultimate Street, the 106mm isn't legal so Eric added a Borg Warner 80mm single-turbo and complemented it with a properly sized, Todd Berry-built intercooler, which was installed by Kurgan Motorsports.
Also in place was the JW Powerglide, and surprisingly, the existing PTC 9.5-inch converter has worked out pretty well for the new combo. Usually you hear of racers swapping out converters time and time again to arrive at the perfect combo. However, Eric didn't have that issue. "I thought I'd be pulling it out," Eric says. "I got lucky."
Inside, the car had factory seats in it, and those just wouldn't do. In their place, Eric added race-friendly, lightweight Kirkey Racing seats with the appropriate harnesses. The Auto Meter Phantom and Saleen gauges in the center stack were already in place, so he was good on gauges.
To employ more race car tricks to the Cobra, Eric added the Strange Engineering removable steering wheel to make it a tad easier to get in and around the Cobra's NHRA-certified 10-point rollcage. The car's Hurst Quarter Stick shifter was also moved to make it more ergonomic. Right in front of the shifter the Cobra's NLR AMS-1000 boost controller lives in easy reach. It allows Eric to tailor boost levels and ramp rates to his needs based on traction, or a lack thereof.
So far, Eric's been able to get the car down into the 5.30s at 138 mph, still a tad off from the faster cars in Ultimate Street. However, the car's still a work in progress. At Lights Out...Unfinished Business, one of Ducks' races held in February 2013, Eric qualified Eighth out of 32 cars, and that was the car's first major outing. And as you know, that event was rain-drenched, with little time for test passes. With barely any testing, Eric was unable to go many rounds at that time. Since Duck's race, though, Eric has won a local race, which shows the car has promise. He looks forward to more of Duck's races to show the car's full potential.
One thing's for sure, if you race in the South, and a clean, Vibrant Red '93 Cobra is in the other lane, don't let its pretty face fool ya'—Eric will have the car running right. That's his ultimate goal. 5.0

Horse Sense: Ultimate Street at a DuckX Productions race is a displacement- and power-adder-limited class designed to back up the ultra-popular X275 class. Generally speaking, the turbos, blowers, and nitrous systems allowed in Ultimate Street are a step down from what's allowed in X275, but in many cases the winner can still take home $5,000, which is a nice chunk of change.

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone came with a warning label, kind of like mattresses or cigarette cartons do? When you think about it, people can be just as dangerous as flammable, addictive, or otherwise warning-worthy products.
It would be great if men came with varying warning labels. Of course, women should come with them too. But I'm here to dish about men. I do not claim to have run into all of these guys-who-need-warning-labels. But I have heard about them (over and over).
Here are 6 warning labels men should come with. Preferably right where you can see them -- like on their heads.
Warning: I'm Going to Take Up All Your Fertile Years.
Let's face it, guys read. They aren't complete idiots. They know that women have a certain fertility window in terms of age and month. So if a guy isn't saying, "Honey, shouldn't we have sex this week?" or "Honey, you're getting up there. Shouldn't we think about a kid before we need the three rounds of IVF?" -- then he doesn't want a kid.
More from The Stir: 6 Signs You're His 'Faux-Girlfriend'
Warning: I'm Sexually Confused.
These are the guys who never seem to want sex, but somehow always blame it on you. You've gained weight. You wear sweatpants. Or they've gotten drunk and let it slip that, well, they've hooked up with men in the past. Or they're attracted to men. Then, the next day, sober, they deny they ever said it, or they claim it was a "joke" or a "test." No one says they're attracted to the same sex when they're drunk unless they are.
Warning: I Don't Know What I Want, and Never Will.
This guy says things out of the blue like, "Wouldn't it be great to be a writer and live in Paris?" Only he never writes, and you can't get him out of the country. Or he says, "Wouldn't it be great to move to Oahu and surf the waves?" Only he doesn't surf. This guy doesn't know what he wants, he just likes to throw up fantasies to keep him from making real-time, real life plans.
Warning: I Will Bleed You Dry.
This is the guy who asks to borrow money. All the time.
Warning: I'm an Alcoholic.
This guy gets so wasted on the first or second date that you have to help him home. Then he calls you the next day, apologizing profusely, and claiming he was nervous.
Warning: I Only Want You When You Don't Want Me.
This is the guy who doesn't call back, doesn't plan dates in advance, and generally acts very cavalierly about you -- until you dump him. Then he calls relentlessly and, with protestations and even some real tears, promises to change every single thing about himself that you're not happy with. As soon as you cave in, he goes back to his old ways. He's not satisfied unless he's chasing you. Rinse, repeat.
What other warning labels should men have?

Java Profiling with WSAD 5.0
In many instances, the code that you write is not as efficient as you would like to be. In this article, you will learn how to use profiling tools available in WSAD 5.0 to help you identify memory leaks, thread issues, and method response times in your code.
Initial Setup
The IBM Agent Controller must be installed for the Profiling Tool to function.
The WSAD 5.0 installation comes with an optional installation of the IBM Agent Controller. After the IBM Agent Controller is installed, the "serviceconfig.xml" properties file must be inspected to make sure that it is pointing to the correct installation directory of the WSAD. By modifying the properties file, you can modify the location of where the profiling results will be written. You also can modify the host name and port number of the agent as well as the logging level. The IBM Agent Controller can be stopped and started as a Windows service from the Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Services.
When you first launch the WSAD after the IBM Agent Controller is installed, you must set the profiling and logging preferences.
- From the WSAD main menu, select Window --> Preferences --> Profiling and Logging. You have to make sure that the "Enable Profiling" and "Enable Logging" checkboxes are checked. The Agent Controller local port number must match the port number specified in the "serviceconfig.xml" file of the controller (See Figure 1).
- From the WSAD main menu, select Window --> Preferences --> Profiling and Logging --> Hosts. Here, you have to make sure that the default host for the agent controller is set up and is successfully connecting to the agent. The host should automatically get set.If it does not, add a new default host where host name and port number correspond to the parameters that are specified in "serviceconfig.xml". You can test the connection by clicking on the "Test Connection" button.

Hands-on Example: Identifying Memory Leaks
In the first example, you will walk through a memory leak that you will identify using the profiling tool. Then, you will fix the leak, rerun the profiling session, and compare the difference.
First, let me define a memory leak. A memory leak is bug in a program that prevents it from freeing up memory that it no longer needs. As a result, the program grabs more and more memory until it finally crashes because there is no more memory left.
Now that you know the definition of a memory leak, try to find it in the following code. (The link to the full source code of this class, ProfileTestOne.java, is located in the zip file at the end of this article.)
1. public void leakingVector(int iter, int count) { 2. for (int i = 0; i < iter; i++) { 3. for (int n = 0; n < count; n++) { 4. vector.add(new DummyClass(n + i)); 5. } 6. for (int n = count - 1; n > 0; n--) { 7. vector.removeElementAt(n); 8. } 9. } 10. }
Line 6 is where the leak occurs. The code does not remove the last element from the vector. With every call to the leakingVector () method, the vector will have more and more data in it and, after some period of time, it could crash the JVM.
Now, you can profile this method using the Profiler. The main method looks like this:
1. public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { 2. ProfileTestOne javaLeaks = new ProfileTestOne(); 3. for (int i = 0; i < 100 ; i++) { 4. javaLeaks.leakingVector (100, 10); 5. } 6. }
The main method invokes the leakingVector () methods 100 times. You need to follow these seven steps to set up and launch a profiling session:
- To configure the profiling process, click on Profile --> Launch --> Java Process.
- Select the project name and the class that you are profiling and click "Next" (see Figure 3). You can specify any execution parameters that the application requires. For the example, you do not require any execution parameters.
- On this panel (see Figure 4), you have the option to set the filters for profiling agents that you want to use during the profiling session. The filters allow you to exclude packages that you do not want to see on the profiling report.
- On the next panel (see Figure 5), you can set the options that control the data that is collected by the profiling agents during the profiling session. You can profile for memory usage that will reveal how many instances are still alive and the memory size allocated by every class. You also can analyze the application execution time and see how many methods were called and how long it takes to execute every method. For the first example, you will click on the first checkbox to check for memory leaks.
- On this panel (see Figure 6), you can set the limit of the amount of data that is collected by profiling agents during the profiling session.
- Click "Finish". The profiling session has started.
- Now, modify the method so that all instances of the DummyClass are removed from the vector. In the code below, on line 6, you replaced the "greater than" condition with "greater than or equals to" condition.

Figure 6
During the profiling session, you use the Profiling Perspective to observe the results. Right-click on the default monitor --> Open With --> Package Statistics. The table in the package statistics view shows you that out of 100,000 created instances of the DummyClass, only 90,000 had been collected by the garbage collection. (See Figure 7.)

|In the recent presidential debates, Senator John McCain referred to "$3 million for an overhead projector" as an example of wasteful spending. The 'overhead projector,' however, was not the typical piece of classroom-style AV equipment one might imagine, but rather a state-of-the-art projector for planetarium presentations. The projector, which did not receive federal funding, would have been an update to the Adler Planetarium's 40-year old Zeiss Mark VI projector, used in the planetarium's Sky Theater. The planetarium is still attempting to raise money for the projector replacement project. We'll talk with the head of the Adler Planetarium about what the projector is and why the planetarium requested money for it.
