Singapore Company Fined for Illegal Scrapping Attempt
A Singapore company has paid a NOK 7 million ($763,000) fine after it was caught trying to illegally export a barge carrier vessel from Norway for scrapping on the beaches in Pakistan, Norwegian authorities said.In 2017, inspectors from the Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA) detained the Harrier, previously named Tide Carrier, when it suffered an engine failure and started to drift outside Jæren in Rogaland. Wirana Shipping Corporation, a company which buys discarded ships and sells them to scrap yards at beaches in India and Pakistan, was the commercial manager for the voyage and in charge of the ship's route, the purpose of the voyage and its execution.
Tankers Defer Retrofits to Cash in on Record Freight Rates
Tankers that had been scheduled to install emissions-cutting equipment ahead of stricter pollution standards starting in 2020 have deferred their visits to the dry docks to capitalize on an unexpected surge in freight rates, three trade sources said.U.S. sanctions on subsidiaries of vast Chinese shipping fleet Cosco in September sparked a surge in global oil shipping rates as traders scrambled to find non-blacklisted vessels to get their oil to market.The rates for chartering a supertanker from the U.S. Gulf Coast to Singapore hit record highs of more than $17 million and a record $22 million to China earlier this week.By comparison, prior to the sanctions, shipping crude from the U.S.
Fincantieri Fits New Midsection in Star Breeze
The most complex cruise ship lengthening ever undertaken is clipping along at Fincantieri's Palermo yard.The final welding cut to Windstar Cruises' Star Breeze was completed and the ship's 25.6-meter/84-foot prefabricated midsection was glided into place between the two halves in the drydock, an operation that took just half an hour.Overnight, Shipyard crews at Fincantieri Palermo had carefully split the ship, pulling the 4,000-ton bow forward centimeter by centimeter while a new 25.6-meter midsection waited on shiny black rollers at the far end of the 370-meter pit.
C-Job CEO Basjan Faber was Born to Design
Born and raised on the water by entrepreneurial parents, Basjan Faber knew from a young age that his future and fate was in maritime, specifically ship design. Today the CEO leads a vibrant, diverse and fast-growing naval architecture firm that he co-founded with partners in 2007. Headquartered in Amsterdam, C-Job has a unique approach to its business and is expanding its international footprint, as Maritime Reporter & Engineering News discovered when we visited with him in The Netherlands last month."I have always been inspired by ships, and I knew by the end of grammar school that I wanted to be a naval architect.
US-flagged LNG Bunker Barge Launched
America's first offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) barge has been launched for owner Q-LNG Transport, Mississippi shipbuilder VT Halter Marine announced on Wednesday.The Q-LNG 4000 barge, designed to carry 4,000 cubic meters of LNG, with dimensions of 324' x 64' x 32'.6", will be operated as part of an articulated tug and barge (ATB) unit designed to meet the requirements of American Bureau of Shipbuilding (ABS) and the International Gas Carrier code as an LNG bunkering barge.Its tug, the Q-Ocean Services, is scheduled to launch late October.

Shale Oak Wines
2011 Cabernet Sauvignon$40.00ea.
This soft, round, approachable Cabernet Sauvignon is made to drink now. It has wonderful aromas of strawberry-rhubarb pie, dried cherries and black pepper. It's a virtual riot of berries on the palate, including olallieberry, blueberry, blackberry, and rich strawberry preserves. The time this wine spent in oak barrels is evident in the creamy texture, nice acid balance, and present but softer tannins. A small amout of Grenache adds a little acidity and light fruitness to this otherwise big and dark wine.

Interact with existing CDF files using Wolfram Player. »
Find out more about Wolfram Notebooks, the ultimate environment for technical workflows. »
Details for Wolfram Language Programmers
The Wolfram CDF Player provides a deployment engine for graphical user-interface-driven applications using the Wolfram Language's dynamic interface creation features. Almost all programming and computational functions available in the Wolfram Language can be used to build applications for CDF Player, but there are a few programming restrictions for applications to keep in mind when saving as FreeCDF*.
Controls and Input
All interactive content must be generated with the Manipulate command and may only use mouse-driven elements ( Slider, Locator, Checkbox, PopupMenu, etc).
Non-numeric input fields are not supported. Avoid InputField[x, String] and InputField[x, Boxes]. InputField[x, Expression] and InputField[x] are restricted to work only with numbers, and InputField[x, Number] works normally.
Dialog windows are not supported. Avoid using Input or InputString.
Data Import and Export
Data import and export are not supported from within CDF Player except for Wolfram-curated data sources (e.g. ChemicalData, CountryData, WordData). Note that data can be preloaded into your application during authoring (see below). Avoid commands such as Import, ImportString, ExportString, ReadList, OpenRead, OpenWrite, and OpenSQLConnection. Because CDF Player cannot load data at runtime, you must ensure that all necessary information is embedded within the interactive elements. There are two basic approaches to embedding:
Initialization: small blocks of code and data can be included in the
Manipulate command using the
Initialization option, for example:
Manipulate[myfunction[mydata,n],{n,0,1}, Initialization:>(myfunction[dat_,n_]:=...;mydata={...})];
SaveDefinitions: for larger blocks of code, packages, or larger data files, it may be more convenient to define them before creating the
Manipulate, then store their state within the
Manipulate using the
SaveDefinitions option, for example:
MathLink Operations
MathLink operations, including .NET/Link, are not supported. Avoid using commands such as Install, LinkConnect, LinkOpen, Links, and so on. This includes links to remote Mathematica kernels such as gridMathematica.
Alternative Front Ends
Alternative front ends to the kernel, such as those that could be written in Java, C/C++, or .NET, are not supported.
* Enterprise CDF expands on the free Wolfram CDF Player to offer higher-level application content such as data import and text input. Contact us or see the features comparison chart for details.

Retro Legends Magneti T-sweat in grey (TSW106)
Now £19.99Was £24.99
Product InformationThe Retro Legends T-sweat is inspired by the heavy-duty T-shirts that became popular in America in the 1950s. It became common practice to take a traditional long-sleeve, sweatshirt, and cut the sleeves off to create a garment that was easier to wear in the summer months. Eventually, garment manufacturers decided to save people the effort by supplying sweatshirts with the sleeves already cut off. That is basically what our T-sweat is. It's a sweatshirt made from a 320gsm loopback fabric. We've added French rib cuffing to the hem and sleeve ends. And that's about it. The result is a garment that we feel confident calling the 'best T-shirt in the world'. We think it's particularly suited to the UK climate, where it's rarely so warm that a lightweight cotton T-shirt is enough to keep you warm all day. Whatever the weather, you're never going to overheat in a T-sweat, but when the sun dips behind the clouds, or starts to set in the sky, it'll continue to keep you warm. It's also, of course, as tough as old boots. You're simply never going to wear your T-sweat out. That's something you can't say about your average T-shirt. Try one out, and you'll see what we mean.
- 100% 320gsm Cotton
- Loopback fabric
- French rib cuffing

Nicolas Cage agreed this week to return a stolen Tyrannosaurus Rex skull that was taken illegally from Mongolia. The actor bought the prized artifact for $276,000 in 2007 from a Beverly Hills gallery, which issued a certificate of authenticity with Cage's purchase. Investigators say the National Treasure star was contacted in 2014 about the skull's potential origins, and that he voluntarily agreed to hand it over once the theft was confirmed. Among the people Cage outbid for the skull was Leonardo DiCaprio, according to reports from the time.
This isn't the first time Cage has made headlines for his extravagant purchases. Read The Daily Beast's piece below from November 2009 on the 's compulsive spending:
Even by Bel Air standards, the Christmas party in the tent at Nicolas Cage's mansion was a major to-do. The pool was covered up. Blocks of ice were brought in and carved into a buffet table, from which an extravagant array of shellfish was served. A production crew blew fake snow. There were enormous nutcracker men, 8- to 10-feet-tall, out by the gate in front of the house. Lighting specialists came by and illuminated Cage's favorite cars, which sat on display in the driveway. Guests at the December 2003 event included Hugh Hefner and Jay Leno, who later called it the greatest Christmas party he'd ever been to.
The following morning, staffers arrived at Cage's house and were surprised to find a straggler roaming the backyard: a young pony that had been given to Cage by a relative the night before. Later, he moved the pet out to his ranch in Malibu.
But today, the property in Bel Air is in contract to be sold for less than half of what Cage was originally seeking. The personal chef who orchestrated the evening? Laid off. The decorator? Gone as well.
And now the actor is suing his former money manager, Samuel J. Levin, for $20 million in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming he enriched himself while "sending Cage down a path toward financial ruin." (Levin declined comment for this article.)
Whether the actor proves his former money manager is at fault remains to be seen, but conversations with several sources close to Cage reveal a person whose financial problems stemmed at least in part from his own profligate spending. As they tell it, Cage's appetite was extreme even for Hollywood, with a decade-plus shopping spree that saw him snapping up houses, motorcycles, a jet, yachts, vintage and new cars, expensive watches, meteorites, dinosaur skulls, an enormous pet collection, massive amounts of jewelry for the women in his life, group vacations for his entire entourage, and on and on and on. "He lived like a sheik," says one person who's known him for several years. "Spent money like it was water," says another.
Reached for comment, Cage's lawyer Martin Singer said, "Half the stuff you say is false. I'm not going to get into detail." A publicist for Cage had nothing further to add. "As you've already spoken to Marty, I don't have anything else to contribute."
Until fairly recently, Cage's primary residence was the 1940 Bel Air mansion, with eight bedrooms, a theater, wine cellar, and a library. The house's previous owners included Dean Martin and Tom Jones. "A Gothic mausoleum" is how one sometime guest describes its décor in recent years. When Cage first put it on the market a few years back, the asking price was more than $30 million. He later dropped the price in half, and finally put it up this September in a sealed bid sale, where only offers above $9.95 million were considered. A source close to the sale says it went for less than $15 million. Some argue that the economy may not be the only reason the house went for so much less than Cage had desired. "It was not what I would call good taste," says the visitor.
Down South, Cage's two mansions in New Orleans have been foreclosed upon and will be auctioned off later this month. The first, a 13,000-square-foot, six-bedroom house in the Garden District, was originally put on the market for a reported $3.45 million. The second, on Royal Street in the French Quarter, went on sale for $3.5 million and has been described as one of the most beautiful houses in the city, though there are rumors it's inhabited by ghosts. (Seriously.)
They are among more than a dozen other homes Cage has bought in the last decade or so, in places like Newport Beach; Venice Beach; Malibu; San Francisco; Middletown, Rhode Island; New York; and Las Vegas. There was a castle near Bath, in England, an 11th-century estate in Etzelwang, Germany, and not one but two Bahamian islands, which Cage bought in their entirety. (Movie stars, after all, like privacy, so long as you're paying attention to them onscreen.)
The bulk of those properties have been sold or are in the process of being sold.
Cage also had a serious car and motorcycle habit. In June 2004, he owned 18 motorcycles and 30 cars, a member of his entourage says. And that was on the low end: At another point, two sources say, the car total was around 50.
In 1997, Cage spent nearly half a million dollars on a Lamborghini Miura SVJ that had been owned by the shah of Iran and was confiscated from the Imperial Garage during the 1979 revolution. Never mind that at the time he bought it, the car was trading for an estimated $250,000 to $300,000. "He didn't care," says a close source. "Nic at an auction is dangerous. There's just no limit to what he'd spend." He kept the cars in a hangar at the Santa Monica Airport, where neighbors with their own hangars included Jerry Seinfeld, Tom Cruise, and Charlie Sheen.
The most bizarre display of Cage's conspicuous car consumption? A 1955 Jaguar D-Type that he decided to put on exhibit in his billiard room at the Bel Air house, where it was lit from above, like something out of a car dealership. (There was also at least one expensive motorcycle sitting in the foyer, according to three people who visited the house. "It was an eclectic way of decorating," one shrugs.)
Nor did Cage limit himself to vintage cars, which are typically better investments than new ones. "He had one of every thing that was new and fantastic," says one source. "Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Rolls Royces, Bentleys. If Aston Martin was coming out with a new model, chances are, he would have it." At one point, the source says, Cage was snapping up cars at a rate of about "one per month." For a time, the actor also employed a full-time car mechanic, whose job was solely to service his cars, two sources say.
Cage's penchant for acquisition was aided by the fact that for years, many of the things he spent money on appeared to be good investments. The vintage cars he bought frequently doubled in value, so Cage made a lot of money buying and selling them. (In his case, most sales were followed by more purchases). Real estate was seen as an even safer bet. According to a source from his inner circle, when the first few houses he bought began to accrue in value, Cage began to borrow heavily against them to buy more properties. Unlike the cars, though, he didn't do nearly enough selling, which placed him in a particularly precarious position when the market began to collapse over the last two and a half years.
And then there were two yachts, at least, and the Gulfstream jet.
Until he sold them in 2002 for a reported $1.6 million, Cage was also a voracious comic-book collector. The most prized of these included Action Comics #1 (which contained the first appearance of Superman), and Detective Comics 38, (which was the first strip in which Batman's sidekick Robin appeared). For safekeeping, Cage housed them at his Bel Air pad in museum-like glass cases.
Three people who visited his house also report seeing shrunken heads. None is sure whether they were actual people's heads (which are illegal to import) or simply those of animals (which generally are not). Still, one thing was for certain. "They were pretty weird," says a source.
So was Cage's pet collection, which in addition to a handful of purebred dogs, included rare birds and a host of lizards, snakes, and other creepy crawlies. "Basically, a zoo," is how a person who's known Cage for many years describes it. He also had two albino King Cobras, this person says, as well as "an antidote serum on the wall, so that if you got bit by a snake you could save yourself."
There also was a dinosaur skull that Cage purchased in 2007 for $276,000 in a heated auction with Leonardo DiCaprio.
It was a fabulous life while it lasted, but it helps explain why so many people in Hollywood aren't entirely convinced his ex-money manager is solely to blame for the actor's financial troubles. Says one person who has known Cage for many years: "I remember a bunch of us saying, 'How many more magic tricks can Sam do to keep Nic afloat?' It was a house of cards… I think Nic thought he was invincible."
Certainly, Nic Cage was a man without an ordinary idea of living on a budget. Born in Long Beach, California, in 1964, he is the nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola. (Interestingly, Coppola also experienced serious money problems over the years related to alleged overspending.) "I think Nic spent a lot of his life with his face pressed against the glass, looking at his uncle Francis," says one person who's worked with the star and knows him well. Cage's father, August Coppola, died last month at the age of 75.
From the early days of his career, Cage displayed a taste for the finer things in life—which he shared with just about everyone around him. One crew member from the celeb's 1993 film It Could Happen to You tells The Daily Beast about an episode in which this person was dispatched to caviar hotspot Petrossian in New York to get takeout for the star and a few people on the set. "It was something like $2,000 for a snack," this person says. "He was really friendly and nice, but almost dorky."
His largesse was even more pronounced with the women he became involved with. During his divorce proceedings from Lisa Marie Presley (Cage married her in August 2002 and filed for divorce 108 days later), it emerged that in the course of one of the couple's fights, Presley's $65,000-plus engagement ring was tossed over Cage's California-based yacht, the Weston, named for his son. There are conflicting reports about who threw it overboard, but Cage nevertheless hired divers to recover it. The ring was never found.
There have also been acts of extraordinary generosity. In 2005, he gave $1 million to the Red Cross to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina. In 2006, Amnesty International put out an announcement that Cage was giving the organization $2 million.
From time to time, Cage also cut his price drastically to appear in smart, ambitious films such as Adaptation and Matchstick Men. But working for less money didn't prompt him to live cautiously. In 2005's The Weather Man, made for an overall budget of about $22 million, Cage played a dowdy meteorologist, yet the actor still brought his personal chef with him to the set in Chicago and got himself a brand new Lamborghini that spent most of the film shoot sitting unused at the Peninsula Hotel. "He barely drove it," says someone who was there. Soon after, the person says, the star got rid of the car and bought something new.
Another time, two sources report, Cage spent over six figures on a Bentley, then sent it to be fitted with custom cabinetry in the back. A TV, stereo, and bar were all put in. The renovation costs totaled more than $50,000, but when it was done, the man for whom the car was spruced up couldn't even fit inside it. "It was a bastard," says a person who worked with Cage at the time. "You couldn't sit in the back unless you're 5'8. He's six-feet. Ultimately, he got rid of it."
"There's a cluelessness," this person says. "He's been wealthy since he was 17 years old, and so he's very removed from normal decision-making. He's not a dumb guy, but his brain functions on the right side, not the left. He never thought about a budget. The mentality was 'that's what houses, cars, diamonds, jets cost,' and he was 'get it, get it, get it.'"
In 2008, Forbes reported that Cage had run into trouble with the IRS for allegedly using his production company to write off $3.3 million in personal expenses, including "limos, meals, gifts, travel, and his Gulfstream." Sam Levin, his money manager at the time, told the magazine such expenses were "customary" in the entertainment industry and were necessary for his security.
Cage reportedly was forced to pay back taxes of about $666,000, far less than the feds were seeking. But he fired Levin. Around the same time, Cage was putting scores of properties on the market—just as the market was crashing. In 2009, the government came after him again for his taxes, this time for more than $6 million. (The bill does not appear to have been settled yet.)
There's no question Cage is now cutting back. In addition to the chef and the decorator, the personal trainer who worked for Cage exclusively is no longer on permanent call, two sources say. "It's like someone put handcuffs on him," says a former employee.
If it's any consolation, Cage isn't the only A-Lister to be facing leaner times. Annie Leibovitz has been battling with Art Capital Group over a $15 million loan she took out after reportedly overspending on everything from her properties to her chef and terrace gardener. Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon lost massive amounts of money after investing with Bernie Madoff. And Patricia Cornwell is suing her money manager for—what else?—mismanagement.
Still, not everyone is sympathetic to the financial situation Cage finds himself in. Says one Hollywood source who knows him socially: "He overspends on boats and jets and stupid things. And we're now living in a time when people can't live like that anymore. It's a wake-up call. What do you need all that stuff for?"

If you stumbled into this post first you may want to have a look over this previous post as we are building upon steps covered there.
So far we have got our world binaries built and these are the foundation of the environments we setup for testing our port builds. From here we create a tinderbox build. Within tinderbox a build refers to a combination of world binaries (the tinderbox jails we setup before) and a version of the ports files. It is probably a rare case but it would appear that you could setup a build using say netbsd pkgsrc system or similar, the most likely alternative to the official ports system would be an internal development branch of the ports source.
The first step is to setup the ports files to be used. A cvs checkout is shown in the docs and you could adjust the svn usage from yesterday if you have your own local svn repo (official ports are still in cvs at this point). The examples in the docs show a source checkout that is unique to your tinderbox setup. I think using the system installed ports will be enough for what I want and will bypass the confusion of three copies of the ports files. Personally I use portsnap to update my system ports tree and create or update a port there to test and develop it. Then I have a copy within my home folder that is an svn checkout from my redports account that I transfer changes to that I want to keep, and commit as desired from there. While my personal folder is just the ports I make changes to, I don't want a third copy just for test builds, so what I will use here is a user defined update method that will run portsnap anytime I want to update the ports tree. We have two options here, 1. create a portsTree with no update method leaving us to run portsnap manually as desired. 2. create a portsTree with a user update method. The first option is straight forward and acceptable for most but I want to look at option 2 here.
Reading the docs you may jump straight in and use a command like
You may also want to share your local distfiles with tinderbox. Pretty easy and the one setup is shared across all portstree configs -
Now that we have our jails and portsTree setup it is time for the build. Remember a tinderbox build is a combination of a specific jail and portsTree and is straight forward -
The name I used there may raise a few questions but first lets consider what variations of builds we want to use.
The aim of using tinderbox is to test building under a variety of conditions, in this case primarily different system versions. To that end we started by creating 2 jails with different versions of world binaries, you may have extended that number and I encourage you to do so but I use two in these examples. From FreeBSD 9.0 we are moving away from a dependency on gcc as the main compiler and now include clang within the base system. Being in the early transition of this is a bit awkward as not all ports build with the old gcc v4.2 that is included with base and not all ports build with clang either. Well ports changes need to be tested with each compiler so we may get a full ports build happening on any system install. One option we have is to specify what version of gcc is used to build our port. Easy till we get linking issues with something like boost installed with gcc42 and not linking with a gcc46 built port (that is my early guess and may not be the location of a solution). So anyway I am suggesting that a number of builds are setup to test building with clang as well as gcc. This will only apply to 9.0 and higher, 8.3 has just entered beta1 and doesn't appear to include clang. The other question you may have is that I only put clang in the name, how does it know to build with clang? It doesn't yet - that comes in a minute.
Well using the two jails we built yesterday lets setup the builds -
Now we have four builds setup to test our ports in. As I suggested before you should also consider having at least an 8-STABLE jail setup and maybe even a 7-STABLE one as well if not more. As clang is not included in 7 or 8 there is no need to setup two builds for each, I would still use gcc in the build name though.
At this point you will find a few directories have been created. The first you will probably see is tinderbox/{BUILDNAME} so if your following along you will have four there corresponding to each build you setup. The next ones are inside tinderbox/builds and have the same names as the four we just looked at. The dirs inside builds contain a Makefile with all the package dependencies and although you may think make.0 and make.1 are makefiles they are in fact logs containing the log of the last compile done, each port compile is run in two phases, and a more than likely empty duds file. The top level dirs are where all the work is done. For each port you make, tinderbox will extract the tarball found in the corresponding jail build and mount the various points needed for portstrees/distfiles/devfs/procfs. From that you can work out that each build starts up in a unique environment (it uses chroot) completely isolated for your test make. Each environment is cleaned up after each test make and the log files will include files left behind if you get your pkg-plist incorrect.
Now to configuring the compiler to use. When you first test making your port and look at a log file you may notice that the timestamp at the start is all wrong. That will be a wrong timezone setting and gets us close to the compiler settings. First lets set the timezone, so edit the file tinderbox/scripts/etc/env/GLOBAL and add the following line (adjusted to match your timezone of course)
You can see that it uses a bash style environment setting. Within the same folder we want to create a config file for each build we setup using the name build.{BUILDNAME} and have it contain the CC options that we wish to use. Before you go thinking about copying all your /etc/make.conf settings consider the purpose of this - testing against a minimum system config to ensure your port is as compatible as possible. Those with a custom edited make.conf need to handle their own port build conflicts with the options they want to use. So here all we want to do is set the compiler to use. To make this easy let's make a script, I will put this inside tinderbox/scripts and lets call it gencompilerenvfiles.sh
Pretty straight forward if you know some shell scripting, if it's a bit beyond what you know it simply gets a list of dirs from within builds and outputs three lines to a corresponding config file for each one. The script won't touch files that already exist, so delete them if you want a clean slate or adjust if you want to add to existing files. The first loop uses grep to get clang named builds the second gcc. Is it overkill specifying gcc for the gcc builds - yep - but it keeps things consistent and also gets the CC setting output to the log file to remove any confusion when looking over them later, or more to the point when you get someone else to look over them for some help.
Now your all setup to use tinderbox to test your ports building. While the docs say you can do an adhoc build with just the tinderbuild command I find that not to be the case, the two command you use are
The first time you build a port it may take a while - it will build each dependency needed, basically running make package-recursive for your port. Next time it will just pkg_add each dependancy and build the port you ask it to. The -nullfs option is needed if you setup the nullfs mount for portstree as shown above (or maybe it is for distfiles?). This adds some more dirs for you as well.
tinderbox/packages/{BUILDNAME} will contain all the packages created by that build. You will find a folder for each category containing links to the corresponding package inside the All dir.
tinderbox/logs/{BUILDNAME} will contain log files of each port compiled for that build.
tinderbox/errors/{BUILDNAME} will contain copies of the log files that had errors - this is probably all your really interested in.
That's about all you need to get up and running with tinderbox. I think I will do one more post covering some housekeeping and other notes. To close off I'll show a script I use to automate running any number of ports inside every build you have configured, I save it in tinderbox/scripts and call it testbuilds.sh
So to make use of the script
and it will go through and compile each port with every tinderbox build you have setup.

Visual aids that are used within the games activate visual skills since they

A collaborative effort between the University of Houston College of Pharmacy (UHCOP) and the St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital (SLEH) pharmacy department is addressing this all-too-important issue with a program consisting of a team that includes infectious disease pharmacists and physicians.
Directed by the hospital's Center for Antimicrobial Stewardship and Epidemiology (CASE), the program received recognition from the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) for its best practices. The group was among five other programs recognized nationally at the 45th ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and Exhibition in Anaheim, Calif., Dec. 5.
CASE was formed in 2008 with the purpose of improving the quality of care for patients as it relates to antimicrobial therapy, as well as furthering clinical research and training the next generation of clinical infectious diseases pharmacists. With antimicrobial resistance and the cost of antibiotics skyrocketing, the members of CASE say the group was developed as a collaborative approach with leadership from pharmacy, infectious diseases physicians, infection control, microbiology and nursing interventions. Their goal is to detect the inappropriate use of antibiotics, screen patients and initiate antifungal therapy to those at high risk of dying, and otherwise assess disease severity to guide drug therapy.
"The goal is to optimize the use of antimicrobials, eliminate the overuse of inappropriate drugs and limit antibiotic selection pressure," said Angela A. Shippy, M.D., vice president of medical affairs at SLEH. "This prestigious recognition is a testament to the St. Luke's pharmacy team's dedication in achieving excellence in all that they do for our patients and their families."
Kimberly Putney, a clinical manager at SLEH, adds, "Our CASE team has demonstrated the valuable contribution they have made for patient care through their commitment to clinical service, research and fostering the training of future pharmacists."
Clinically based research initiatives performed by the CASE team have been published in leading infectious diseases journals, as well as having resulted in changes to local and nationally recognized standards for antimicrobial use that could potentially save lives and prevent the rise of drug-resistant infections.
"The fact that a collaborative program such as CASE can progress from start-up to being a nationally recognized 'Best Practice' in only two years is an overwhelming affirmation of the synergy between the clinical expertise at St. Luke's and the research expertise at our College of Pharmacy," said Lamar Pritchard, dean of UHCOP. "Not only does St. Luke's serve as a clinical site for our faculty, but CASE and our other collaborations also encompass jointly supported infectious diseases pharmacy residents and fellows, experiential training sites for our students and professional practice sites for many of our alumni."
One CASE team member, Kevin Garey, who also is an associate professor at UHCOP and clinical specialist at SLEH, said health care institutions across the globe walk a fine line in how to best treat patients with a limited arsenal of antimicrobial drugs and avoid the development of resistance by bacterial and fungal pathogens.
"With the slow pace of new antimicrobial drugs being approved and introduced, it's imperative that we make the most logical, scientifically backed decisions about when, how and how much we use what's available today," Garey said.
Editor's note: A high-resolution photo of the team is available to media by contacting Lisa Merkl. An abstract of the award paper is available at http://www.ashpadvantage.com/bestpractices/2010_papers/Garey.htm.

Official Release of e107 v2 Available for Download.
In 2014, e107inc was pleased to announce and to release the open public beta of a new e107. After many years of faithful service, it was time to retire e107 v1 and to allow a new version to come in its place. With the advent of social media, with the acceleration of new ways of using websites and connecting them with all sorts of new services, v1.0 simply wasn't cutting muster.
We needed something new, something bolder, a new companion to assist you in managing your web-based content and presenting it in the best light possible.
We've journeyed a long way since that announcement of the V2 Bootstrap and many of you have been right there alongside us, helping us to spot bugs found underneath the coding rock, helping us test the limit of the new code. We've been delighted to have you join us for it.
We've been given the green light to announce that there's a new e107 in town, and it's called e107 Bootstrap (or for tech geeks: the e107 v2 Bootstrap). This new platform has been put through its paces over the last year in order to increase its stability and we are confident that for users upgrading to this version, you will find it to be even more stable than v1 ever was. It's an exciting time for our community as it's been many years since we've seen a new e107 community. It brings e107 bang up to date against many alternative offers available on the open-source market. Enjoy the experience, we are certainly you will never look back after you've upgraded.
For our developers it's a triumph of months and months of efforts, the developer community of e107 is extremely small but they have surmounted hundreds of bug reports, have tried to prioritise the most promising feature requests, in order to bring us to this stage.
Let us walk through some of the key reasons why we think you might just want to give our new CMS a trial:
With our step-by-step wizard, you're going to find it easy to upgrade. Don't forget to back-up your website and your system just in case your configuration makes our wizard hick-up, but we've dealt with all the issues we detected during our live tests. The upgrade should therefore be an "easy peasy" experience for most e107 users. And that's a running thread in the new e107, making your experience as a website administrator easier.
This e107 Bootstrap interacts with you in a way that the previous e107 did not. You'll find the user interface somehow more reactive, more alive and working in synch with you. Through our integration of in-line editing, of improved batch operations, and various other improvements to make the management of your content a fast and smooth process, we have no doubt that you'll find the user experience hugely improved and right in keeping with some of the top commercial service offerings out there for webmasters.
There are a whole range of features and improvements to core plug-ins which will fundamentally change the way you and your users interact with your website. They'll be pleased you've made the choice to upgrade!
e107 has a built up a long, decade-long experience of delivering quality, flexible, and powerful content management systems that are able to answer to the most complex of website needs, and with Bootstrap, that tradition continues to live on. We've brought the CMS up to date using the latest CSS, html, JQuery, and Font Awesome to improve the experience and to provide you with feature sets you've come to expect in 2015. As a result we're confident that e107 can become your stable, future-proof platform to manage all your website needs.
When e107 was first launched, social media wasn't even a speck on the technological world map. And now could we imagine a world with-out it? That's why our e107 system has been designed to integrate with social media in a way that our v1 could never have achieved. Your users will find it easy to use their social media logins, to share content to their friends across the social media spectrum. In short your content management is ready to go to help spread the word about your website and your community across all the major social media platforms.
There are so many more reasons that we can think of to upgrade, but you're going to just have to discover them yourself. Grab a copy of the latest version of e107 Bootstrap and start the experience. Don't forget to post on our Facebook site pictures and comments of your upgrade experience and first encounter… And if you have any other suggestions just post them on the e107 Help Community. You might just end up becoming one of our featured websites!
Our many thanks to all users, developers, and supportive fans of the e107 venture. Without your contributions and your enthusiasm we probably would have called it quits long ago! But through our perseverance, we've made it to the Bootstrap station.
At the moment we cannot say what the future will hold for e107, getting to Bootstrap has been a real battle because our development community is so small. We're always on the look-out for skilled coders who would like to volunteer and help us out to accelerate roll-out processes. If you think you're that woman or man, then head on over to GitHub, hub of all our coding activities, and get stuck in!
Until then, let's spread the world with e107 Bootstrap websites and show the rest of the world why we are all part of the great e107 community!

From UA Libraries Digital Services Planning and Documentation
We currently have the following models of camera for use in digitization.
Canon EOS 7D
- Locations
- room 215, on the old scanback workstation(Galvatron)
- room 216, on the homemade workstation (Optimus Prime)
- Lens Compatibility
- 50mm lens is optimal
- 100mm lens will not be very useful (unless you are shooting very small items)
- 14mm wide angle lens is fine for the taller 216 workstation but should not be used on the smaller 215 workstation (due to lighting setup)
Canon EOS 5D, Mk III
- Location: in room 214, on the old captureback workstation (Snapdragon)
- Lens Compatibility
- 50mm lens is optimal
- 100mm lens is optimal
- 14mm wide angle lens is fine
- CAMERA NOT TURNING ON? If the power to the camera is unexpectedly cut (you unplug it, there is a power outage, etc.), when it reboots it will need some intervention. Otherwise, the camera will appear to not be working (i.e., the front readout will stay blank, like it's turned off). You will need to climb onto a stool and look down at the top of the camera so you can respond to the message it displays there. Then, the front readout should light up and the camera should operate as normal.
Canon EOS 5D, Mk I
- Location: room 215, on the reconfigured bookdrive workstation (Weirdwolf)
- Lens Compatibility
- 50mm lens is optimal
- 100mm lens will work well but only for smaller items (such as photographs)
- 14mm wide angle lens should not be used (due to lighting setup)
- Software Compatibility: This model is not compatible with our current version of EOS Utility, so this workstation is not currently in use
Matching Lens to Camera
Current (5D Mk I not in use)
- 5D Mk III = 100mm
- 7D (215) = 50mm
- 7D (216) = 50mm
This is because we only have two 50mm lenses and the 5D Mk III is the only camera that is suitable for the 100mm. If the 14mm wide angle is needed for larger scans, it must go on the 7D in 216.
With 5D Mk I in use
- 5D Mk I = 50mm
- 5D Mk III = 100mm
- 7D (215) = 50mm
- 7D (216) = 14mm wide angle

|Ensuring Restful Sleep - Positive Self-Talk
A great way to establish the habit of restful sleep is to quietly talk to yourself a little before falling asleep. In essence you're talking directly to your subconscious mind, and the instructions you give your subconscious can go far toward ensuring a good night's sleep and a successful day tomorrow.
Positive self-talk has been championed by renowned plastic surgeon Maxwell Maltz in his world-famous book, Psycho-Cybernetics, and by many leaders in the field of human peak performance, including Earl Nightingale, Napoleon Hill, and Norman Vincent Peale.

I'm an author whose fiction books have been published my mainstream publishers. This is my launch into self-published, faith-based non-fiction.
I need a book jacket designed for my non-fiction book - Did I Marry the Wrong Guy? And other silent ponderings of a fairly normal Christian wife.
I'd like a fun, colorful, witty cover that will stand out on webpages. Though this work does reference scriptures, it is a short, humorous book aimed at giving practical advice to women who may be going through a difficult moment in their marriages.
About the images attached: The current book cover image is one that I created but the whole shoe thing doesn't really have anything to do with the book, so I've scratched it. I've attached it to this file only to give you a "feel" of what I'd like to see.
I like the second image of the woman choosing between different foods, but of course this books isn't about food. Maybe if she were choosing between rings???
Anyway, I'm open to new concepts.
I need a full jacket design - front cover and back for the print folks. I'll provide the print for the back.
This book will be published through Amazon Kindle, Barnes&Noble Nook, and possibly Smashwords & Lulu.
Here are the KINDLE specifications:
Amazon KDP applies additional compression to images when displaying them on its website. For best results, images should be uploaded with minimal compression.
• JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
• TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
Minimum 500 x Maximum 1280 pixels
Recommendations for the size of your cover art:
• Minimum of 500 pixels, horizontally
• Maximum of 1280 pixels, vertically
Save at 72 dots per inch (dpi) for optimal viewing on the web. Cover art with white or very light backgrounds can seem to disappear against the white background. Adding a very narrow (3-4 pixel) border in medium grey will define the boundaries of the cover.
Here are the NOOK Specifications: Your cover image must be a .JPG or .JPEG file with a file size between 5KB and 2MB. The sides must be between 750 pixels and 2000 pixels in length.

The U.S. unemployment figures have turned Orwellian with any uptick viewed as positive by the administration -- more people looking for work -- and any downtick viewed as negative by the opposition -- fewer people in the jobs market.
What's a voter to think?
The Labor Department provided the final economic puzzle piece before Election Day Friday, reporting October unemployment at 7.9 percent -- up 0.1 percentage point from September -- representing 12.3 million workers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 171,000 non-farm private-sector jobs were added to the economy -- far fewer than the 250,000 economists say are needed to bring the unemployment rate down significantly but significantly up from the 148,000 September figure. Unemployment for blacks rose to 14.3 percent while the levels for other groups were virtually unchanged. Long-term unemployment -- those without work for more than a half-year -- stood at 5 million, about 40.6 percent of the total number of unemployed. The civil labor force rose 578,000 to 155.6 million workers.
The largest proportion of job gains was made among business and professional services, 51,000, with 13,000 of those in the services to buildings and dwellings sector and 7,000 in computer systems design.
The effects of Hurricane Sandy were not figured into the report since the data were collected before the superstorm hit the East Coast, the BLS said.
White House Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Alan Krueger said the numbers are evidence the economy is healing, at the same time acknowledging "more work remains to be done."
"This morning, we learned that companies hired more workers in October than at any time in the last eight months," President Barack Obama told a campaign rally in Ohio after the numbers were released.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was quick to jump on the figures as well.
"Today's increase in the unemployment rate is a sad reminder that the economy is at a virtual standstill," Romney said in a statement.
"For four years, President Obama has told us that things are getting better and that we're making progress. For too many American families, those words ring hollow."
Regardless of the raw numbers, a report by Chicago outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas suggests the immediate future still is bleak despite the looming holiday shopping season that sees retailers bulking up on staff in anticipation of the annual shopping frenzy.
The report, which came out ahead of the Labor Department report, said layoff notices jumped to 47,724 in October, up from 33,816 in September and the highest level since May, when 61,887 job cuts were announced. The October figure also topped year-ago levels when employers announced 42,759 workers would lose their jobs. Still, the annual picture is better than last year at this time. In the first 10 months of the year, 433,725 layoffs were announced compared to 521,823 in the first 10 months of 2011.
"The final three months of the year tend to see heavier downsizing activity as companies make year-end adjustments to meet earnings goals and to prepare for the new year. Certainly, the deluge of weak third-quarter earnings reports that resulted from declining sales here and abroad does not bode well for workers as 2013 approaches," said John A. Challenger, chief executive officer of Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
The most layoffs were announced in the automotive sector, most of them at Ford, which announced it would close a plant in Belgium. The next-highest level of job cuts was announced among consumer products companies, followed by electronics and industrial goods.
"While the Ford job cuts are not impacting American workers, they indicate just how vulnerable companies in the U.S. are to the situation in Europe," Challenger said.
"If President Obama is re-elected and delivers on campaign promises, the jobs picture will worsen," predicted University of Maryland economist Peter Morici.
"Since peaking at 10 percent in October 2009, the jobless rate has fallen mostly because 6 million adults have chosen not to look for work. But for this phenomenon, the unemployment rate would still be 9.7 percent."
Morici predicts a new recession in 2013 if Obama is re-elected, citing the impact of proposed tax hikes on the highest income levels and persistent federal deficit spending. He notes the impact on jobs of the growing trade deficits with China and oil-producing countries, saying they're responsible for the disappearance of 10 million U.S. jobs.
But does the president -- or his policies -- have much of an impact?
Alan Beattie, international economy editor for the Financial Times, in an editorial last week said economic experts are "shaking their heads" about statements made by both Obama and Romney about what their policies will mean to U.S. workers. Beattie notes a president does not have a magic wand he can wave to fix the economy.
"Most likely, we'll be back here again in four years' time, with the challenger accusing the incumbent of selling out to China and letting jobs be shipped overseas and the incumbent, by accepting the premise of the attack, ensuring another debate about the global economy that takes place at an oblique angle to reality," Beattie wrote.
