The Congress finds and declares that:
(a) The early development and delivery of oil and gas from Alaska's North Slope to domestic markets is in the national interest because of growing domestic shortages and increasing dependence upon insecure foreign sources.
(b) The Department of the Interior and other Federal agencies, have, over a long period of time, conducted extensive studies of the technical aspects and of the environmental, social, and economic impacts of the proposed trans-Alaska oil pipeline, including consideration of a trans-Canada pipeline.
(c) The earliest possible construction of a trans-Alaska oil pipeline from the North Slope of Alaska to Port Valdez in that State will make the extensive proven and potential reserves of low-sulfur oil available for domestic use and will best serve the national interest.
(d) A supplemental pipeline to connect the North Slope with a trans-Canada pipeline may be needed later and it should be studied now, but it should not be regarded as an alternative for a trans-Alaska pipeline that does not traverse a foreign country.

Pub. L. 93–153, title IV, §411, Nov. 16, 1973, 87 Stat. 594, provided that: "If any provision of this Act [enacting this chapter, section 1456a of this title, and section 3512 of Title 44, Public Printing and Documents, amending section 1608 of this title, sections 45, 46, 53, and 56 of Title 15, Commerce and Trade, section 185 of Title 30, Mineral Lands and Mining, section 3502 of Title 44, and section 391a of former Title 46, Shipping, and enacting provisions set out as notes under sections 1608 and 1651 of this title, section 1904 of Title 12, Banks and Banking, section 45 of Title 15, section 791a of Title 16, Conservation, and section 1221 of Title 33, Navigation and Navigable Waters] or the applicability thereof is held invalid the remainder of this Act shall not be affected thereby."

L. 93–153 [set out below], and to report his findings to Congress, such report to include a statement demonstrating the impact that the delivery system would have on reducing the dependency of New England and the Middle Atlantic States on foreign oil imports.
Pub. L. 93–153, title III, Nov. 16, 1973, 87 Stat. 588, authorized the President to enter into negotiations with the Government of Canada to determine Canadian willingness to permit construction of pipelines or other transportation systems across its territory to bring gas and oil from Alaska's North Slope to the United States; the need for intergovernmental agreements to protect interests of any parties involved with construction, operation, and maintenance of such natural gas or oil transportation systems; terms and conditions for construction across Canadian territory; desirability of joint studies to insure environmental protection, reduce regulatory uncertainty, and insure meeting energy requirements; quantity of oil and gas for which Canada would guarantee transit; and acquisition of other energy sources so as to make unnecessary the shipment of oil from the Alaska pipeline by tanker into the Puget Sound area. The President was to report to Congress on actions taken and recommendations for further action. In addition, the Secretary of the Interior was to investigate, and to report to Congress within 2 years of Nov. 16, 1973, as to the feasibility of oil or gas pipelines from the North Slope of Alaska to connect with a pipeline through Canada that would deliver oil or gas to United States markets. Nothing in title III was to limit the authority of the Secretary or any other Federal official to grant a gas or oil pipeline right-of-way or permit, which that official was otherwise authorized by law to grant.
Pub. L. 93–153, title IV, §403, Nov. 16, 1973, 87 Stat. 590, provided that: "The Secretary of the Interior shall take such affirmative action as he deems necessary to assure that no person shall, on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, or sex, be excluded from receiving, or participating in any activity conducted under, any permit, right-of-way, public land order, or other Federal authorization granted or issued under title II [this chapter]. The Secretary of the Interior shall promulgate such rules as he deems necessary to carry out the purposes of this subsection and may enforce this subsection, and any rules promulgated under this subsection, through agency and department provisions and rules which shall be similar to those established and in effect under title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 [section 2000d et seq. of Title 42, The Public Health and Welfare]."
Pub. L. 93–153, title IV, §410, Nov. 16, 1973, 87 Stat. 594, provided that: "The Congress declares that the crude oil on the North Slope of Alaska is an important part of the Nation's oil resources, and that the benefits of such crude oil should be equitably shared, directly or indirectly, by all regions of the country. The President shall use any authority he may have to insure an equitable allocation of available North Slope and other crude oil resources and petroleum products among all regions and all of the several States."

October 06, 2003
Los Angeles — With regulations facing corporate directors at an all-time-high, a distinctive program at UCLA Anderson School of Management is more valuable than ever. On October 8-10, 2003, UCLA Anderson will offer its sixth Director Training and Certification Program. This Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) -accredited program is one of the oldest and most rigorous director certification programs in the world.
"This program was not developed as a knee-jerk response to the Enrons, Arthur Andersens or WorldComs of the world," said Alfred E. Osborne, senior associate dean of UCLA Anderson. "Our governance program is now in its seventh year and this executive education serves to help to reduce shareholder complaints and resulting litigation against directors and their firms." Dr. Osborne, an experienced corporate director himself, is on the director program's faculty.
Conducted through the Harold Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at UCLA Anderson, this intensive three-day director-level program rapidly educates corporate directors and senior executives on Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, Exchange rules, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidelines, best board practices and the latest pronouncements concerning the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation.
UCLA Anderson notes there is a specific need to educate directors and executives on the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which was passed by Congress last year and has added to the challenges facing America's boardrooms, just as the economy is fighting back from its prolonged downturn.
"These types of director training programs are essential in both good and bad economic times," said Duke K. Bristow, an economist in the Price Center. Dr. Bristow developed and chairs this innovative program at UCLA Andereson. "Shareholders will benefit by directors getting past the confusion concerning Sarbanes-Oxley and getting back to building strong profitable companies. Directors must deal effectively with these new laws and regulations that may otherwise have an unintended negative lasting impact on employment growth, shareholder returns and the rate of the U.S. economic recovery."
The Director Training and Certification Program at UCLA Anderson was developed for directors and executive officers of established, newly public companies and leading private firms who seek a world-class corporate governance environment for their organizations. The program is also benefits venture capital partners and corporate officers who work closely with their boards.
Program topics include:
- Building an effective board of directors
- Recognizing creative accounting
- SEC considerations for boards of directors
- Dealing with Wall Street
- Takeover response preparation
- Whistleblower investigations
- Securities laws with Sarbanes-Oxley
- What it is like to be sued as a director
New to this year's program are stand-alone modules focused on the special needs of Audit, Compensation, Governance and Nominating Committee members. For more information on the Director Training and Certification Program and the three new committee modules, please visit http://www.directors.org.

It's safe to say I'm a board addict, so I was super excited to check out MAKE editor-in-chief Mark Frauenfelder's Simple Longboard project in MAKE Volume 26, our Karts and Wheels issue. When Mark's teenage daughter Serena asked for a longboard, Mark gave her his old classic board, but after a while, he missed having it, so he decided to make his own. Using a couple of layers of Baltic birch plywood for the deck, and such household items as giant binder clips to keep the glued pieces together while drying, and boxes of books to lend weight, giving the board camber, Mark made himself a sweet cruiser. I'm a fan of the wheel cutouts he added, which make the board perfect for laying into deep carving turns. Being an artist, Mark also added some fancy custom graphics to the base. Naturally, he wanted to share his step-by-step instructions with the community. Check out his project on page 46 of Volume 26, or head over to Make: Projects to collaborate. When Mark finished his board and Serena took for a test skate, she wanted to trade. Looks like he'll be building another!
Here's Serena with the final board:
Make: Projects community member Mike Adair used Mark's instructions to build one for his son David. Nice job, Mike! Check out Mike's blog for more on his build:

Constantine Capital, Inc.
Our Mission Statement
It is the mission of Constantine Capital Inc. (CCI) to assist chapters of the Sigma Chi International Fraternity in providing adequate housing to its members by making available and managing existing loan funds from the General Fraternity. CCI will also explore and seek out new sources of capital that may also be available for this same purpose. It is also the responsibility of CCI to preserve all existing funds under its purview.
The tremendous need for adequate housing of Sigma Chi undergraduate brothers motivated the Fraternity to support the granting of loans to meet this challenge. Utilizing the General Fraternity and the Foundation's endowments, funding was made available for this worthy cause. As the Fraternity grew and those needs became larger and larger, the Board of Grand Trustees developed the concept of a 'Sigma Chi mortgage bank,' and Constantine Capital Inc. (CCI) was established in 1990 to administer the Fraternity's mortgage investments. CCI is responsible to the General Fraternity for providing an adequate return on its investment, and for administering funds in a proper fiduciary manner.
As with almost all functions of the Fraternity, CCI relies on strong volunteer support to ensure the success of the organization. CCI is not only looking for ways to invest the endowment funds of the Fraternity, but is also seeking alternative sources of capital to make available to our chapters. All brothers that pay dues, are Life Loyal members and/or support the Fraternity's scholarship initiatives have a stake in this investment. CCI provides Sigma Chi with another way to support our chapters on a local basis and to further benefit the ideals of our brotherhood.
Loan Program
Constantine Capital Inc. (CCI) provides fixed-rate, short-term or gap loans to house corporations of chapters of Sigma Chi that are in good standing with the General Fraternity. All loans will be for the purpose of purchasing, constructing, rehabilitating, refinancing or the guaranty of real estate. These loans will be secured primarily by a first or second lien on real property. CCI encourages those house corporations seeking to fund the "GAP' between a conventional bank loan and their equity in the property to contact CCI. CCI will also consider a guaranty of other lenders debt on a limited basis, depending on individual house corporation circumstances. Whenever possible, CCI funds are combined with local conventional bank funds to maximize CCI's leverage to maximize the Fraternity's resources and provide opportunities of chapter ownership to as many Sigma Chi chapters as possible.
Individual chapter needs are discussed by CCI and the related house corporation to determine the best course of action for each chapter. Applications are then processed — usually simultaneously with the bank application — and reviewed by CCI's board of directors. Closings are coordinated with other financing arrangements and facilitated by counsel from the local area where applicable. CCI, along with the Grand Trustees, also provides technical assistance to house corporations on structuring loans and tapping potential sources of equity and/or additional debt.
Loan Guidelines
All loans funded by CCI must meet the basic criteria of sound lending practices outlined by the Fraternity. Funding decisions are approved by CCI's board of directors, composed of volunteer real estate and financing professionals from Sigma Chi's alumni ranks. CCI imposes the following requirements for the life of the loan on all of the projects that it funds:
- The house corporation must be fully incorporated under the laws of the appropriate state and in good standing with the Secretary of State;
- The active chapter must be in full support of the planned project and also in good standing with its university and the General Fraternity;
- Applicable insurance must meet or exceed standards outlined by the General Fraternity's requirements;
- The house corporation must have the means to adequately support the debt service requirement of the total loan request;
- Local building regulations, title conditions, environmental and appraisal reports must be acceptable to CCI;
- Personal guaranty by local or affiliated alumni of limited minimal amount of each loan is required by CCI and
- The house corporation must be active, hold regular meetings and retain active involvement of local alumni and its respective Grand Trustee
These requirements are not all-inclusive and are meant to be a guideline to those parties interested in obtaining financing with CCI.
- Term: Maximum term of five years for all loans made by CCI. Amortization may be for as long as 15 to 30 years, depending on circumstances.
- Interest Rate/Margins: Fixed-rate loans tied to the applicable Treasury Index plus a margin determined by market conditions, risk assessment and cost of funds to CCI from third party funding sources.
- Loan to Value Ratio: Maximum project debt of 80 percent of collateral value as determined by an acceptable appraisal.
- Debt Service Coverage: Must provide, at minimum, positive debt coverage. (Ratio may be higher if required by other lenders.)
- Security: First or second deed of trust (mortgage or equivalent) or first leasehold mortgage.
- Maximum Loan: $250,000.00
Loan Application and Inquiries
Please feel free to download the loan application here. For more information on CCI's lending program, or to obtain an application package please contact Order of Constantine Sig and CCI chairman Ed Rammrath, INDIANA (PENNSYLVANIA) 1979.

'Tis the season for the annual end-of-year Best Books lists. Here are a few that have just come out in the last few days.
NPR, the well-respected US media organization (formerly called National Public Radio), has released its Guide to 2013's Greatest Reads. You can search this very lengthy list by Staff Picks or genre, or see a straight alphabetical list.
Huffington Post, a major media company and news aggregator, has posted Best Books of 2013, a short list by two staff members, its Books Editor and Associate Books Editor.
Oprah Winfrey, one of the world's most influential readers, has also listed The 10 Best Books of 2013 on her website.
This is useful, ready-made content that you can link to from your own library website or social media sites. Of course, I don't think anyone is a better judge of books than professional librarians, so I hope that many of you are choosing your favorites and sharing them with your online and in-person visitors.
Do you create end-of-year book lists? If so, please comment here and share a link so everyone can compare favorites.

A baby seal pup born at Sea Life Sanctuary is though to be the product of a 'holiday romance' on the English coast.
Staff at the Hunstanton attraction were taken by surprise when resident common seal Tyne gave birth to a healthy pup.
They had no idea she was expecting as she was on the Pill.
The birth was witnessed by aquarist Natalie Emerson, who had grown concerned about Tyne's loss of appetite and listless behaviour and returned to the Sanctuary at 8pm to check on her.
The youngster must have been conceived last July while Tyne and other residents were "holidaying" in Scarborough … while the Sanctuary was rebuilt after being devastated by the tidal surge floods in December 2013.
"Tyne and our other girls Sally, Amber and Miley were all on contraceptives at the time, which is why we never suspected Tyne was pregnant," said Natalie.
"She must have found some way of discarding the tablet, even though it was tucked inside a tasty fish.
"Our solitary male Pendle is only two and not sexually mature yet, so the finger of suspicion is pointing at five possible culprits at Scarborough…Bruno, Mando, Bubbles, Ed and Herbie."
When Natalie made her unscheduled visit to check on Tyne she found her hauled out of the seal pool and breathing very heavily.
She said "I was initially worried that she was seriously ill, but she was in labour, and a few minutes later the pup was born.
"Our solitary male Pendle is only two and not sexually mature yet, so the finger of suspicion is pointing at five possible culprits at Scarborough…Bruno, Mando, Bubbles, Ed and Herbie."Aquarist Natalie Emerson
"Now I just feel incredibly privileged to have witnessed such an amazing happy event".
Natalie alerted other staff members who helped her raise the water level in the pool to make sure the new arrival, which took to the water within an hour of being born, could easily haul out again.
"Tyne is being a model mum, suckling her pup regularly, escorting it on swims around the pool and being very protective," Natalie added.
"The other residents are curious, but Tyne won't let them get too close."
The pup's gender won't be confirmed until staff take a closer inspection, which will not happen until mum and pup have had several weeks together with minimum disturbance from their carers.

2000 National Champions
OU History & Tradition | National Championships
With a young team and one of the toughest schedules of any Big 12 squad, the 2000 Sooners took to the field with everything to gain and nothing to lose. OU rolled through its four September games, outscoring its opponents 176-51 and setting up contests with three nationally-ranked teams: Texas (10), Kansas State (2) and Nebraska (1).
Now referred to as "Red October," the Sooners dismantled the Longhorns, 63-14, won at K-State, 41-31, and handled the top-ranked Huskers, 31-14. The victories against KSU and Nebraska marked the first time in NCAA history that one team had defeated the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams in consecutive games.
At the top of every national poll for the first time since the end of the 1985 season, OU found itself navigating uncharted waters. Now the hunted and just four victories away from the third 11-0 regular season in school history, the Sooners moved through November with caution.
Starting the stretch run with a 56-7 win at Baylor, OU faced Texas A&M in College Station, where the Aggies had lost just six times in the last 12 years.
Trailing 24-13 heading into the final quarter and 31-21 with just eight minutes to play, OU was looking for the famous Sooner Magic to make an appearance. After Quentin Griffin scored to cut the Aggie lead to three (31-28) with 7:43 remaining, it was time for the defense to make a statement.
On the very first offensive play for A&M, Oklahoma linebacker Torrance Marshall intercepted a pass and returned it 41 yards for the game-winning touchdown. A&M drove to the Sooner 10-yard line on its next possession, but the Aggies were stopped four times trying to get into the end zone.
The Sooners finished the regular season with wins over Texas Tech (27-13) and Oklahoma State (12-7) to set up a rematch with the Wildcats of Kansas State for the Big 12 championship and a chance to play for a national title against Florida State in the Orange Bowl.
Once again the Sooner defense stepped up to hold K-State to just 239 total yards of offense (185 below its average). Offensively, Josh Heupel accounted for 21 points with a TD run and two scoring passes. When placekicker Tim Duncan hit a career-long 46-yard field goal with 1:25 to play, the Sooners were headed to Miami.
With the entire nation looking on, No. 1 Oklahoma used a smothering defense to shut down the third-ranked Seminoles and Heupel generated enough offense to lead the Sooners to a perfect season. The Sooners beat Bobby Bowden and FSU, 13-2, at the Orange Bowl in Miami.
Heupel more than made up for his runner-up finish to Florida State's Chris Weinke in the Heisman Trophy race by outplaying him in the biggest game of his life. The left-hander from Aberdeen, S.D., completed 25-of-39 passes for 214 yards and kept the Seminoles off balance all night.
Led by Orange Bowl MVP Torrance Marshall, the Sooners time and again forced Weinke into bad decisions. At least half a dozen passes were in the hands of Sooner defenders but dropped.
Tim Duncan kicked two field goals and Quentin Griffin scored the clinching touchdown on a 10-yard run up the middle with 8:30 to play. Florida State avoided its first shutout in 12 seasons when Stanford Samuels tackled OU punter Jeff Furguson in the end zone for a safety with 55 seconds remaining in the game.
Florida State got the ball back on the ensuing free kick, but Weinke's 29-yard pass into the end zone was intercepted by Ontei Jones with 16 seconds left and the celebration began.
After Heupel took a knee and the clock ran down, the Pride of Oklahoma broke out in yet another rendition of Boomer Sooner and the players and fans converged on the field to celebrate.
Stoops hugged players and assistants after OU clinched its seventh national title as many in the crowd of 76,835 at Pro Player Stadium cheered.

Antibiotics are ineffective in treating patients with persistent coughs caused by chest infections.
ISLAMABAD:-The new study found that the severity and duration of symptoms in patients treated with antibiotics were no different to those given a placebo.
But experts caution that if pneumonia is suspected, antibiotics should still be used due to the disease's severity.
"Using the antibiotic amoxicillin to treat respiratory infections in patients not suspected of having pneumonia is not likely to help and could be harmful," the BBC quoted Paul Little, lead researcher from the University of Southampton, as saying.
"Overuse of antibiotics, dominated by primary care prescribing, particularly when they are ineffective, can lead to the development of resistance and have side effects like diarrhoea, rash and vomiting.
"Our results show that people get better on their own. But given that a small number of patients will benefit from antibiotics the challenge remains to identify these individuals," Little said.
In the study, the researchers randomly divided patients into two groups - one received the antibiotic and the other was given a placebo, an inert treatment in the form of a sugar pill, three times a day for seven days.
The study found little difference in the severity and duration of symptoms reported between groups. This was also true for older patients - those aged 60 years or over - who made up nearly a third of the study.
And those taking antibiotics were reported to have more side effects including nausea, rash and diarrhoea than those given the placebo.
The study has been published in the Lancet journal.

Diablo 3 PvP unlikely to become an eSport
The long-awaited player versus player update for Diablo 3 won't herald its arrival as an eSport, Blizzard boss Mike Morhaime has said.
Despite Blizzard's major expansion into the eSports scene with StarCraft, it's not planning a similar push for the action RPG, Morhaime said at a press conference at the Battle.net World Championship finals in Shanghai last week, as transcribed by TeamLiquid.
"We don't have plans to make Diablo 3 an eSport. Diablo 3 was never really designed to be an eSport, and not every game necessarily needs to be an eSport," the executive said.
Morhaime said StarCraft 2 was designed from the start with eSports in mind, making it ideal, and although World of Warcraft was not, it has certain "elelments" which make it work well. Diablo 3, it seems, is another story – but that doesn't mean Blizzard will ignore its potential as a community event.
"There are certainly competitive things that we'll be able to do with Diablo, and I think that at future Blizzcons we might set up different ways for people to compete at the game, but that's very different from creating a professional tournament structure around something like that," Morhaime continued.
"In order to do that, you really need to get everything right and you have to have the depth of strategy, you have to look at making sure that the strategies that are successful are balanced, and fun, and entertaining to watch, and all those things. So we're not so sure that that's where we should be focusing for Diablo. There are a lot of other elements of Diablo that are a lot more important."
Diablo 3's PvP side was promised months ago, and a few hints at it were included in patch 1.1, but the publisher has gone silent on the update in the interim. Game director Jay Wilson mentioned on Twitter that a news update is due soon.
The full press conference is viewable below, courtesy of Gamespot.
Thanks, PCGamer.

Models such as this were quite widely available in the 1600s. The torso can be removed to show the internal organs. The intestines can be removed to reveal a foetus. The level of anatomical detail is limited but gives a basic layout of the main organs. As such it is likely that the model was used to teach lay people about basic human anatomy. It may possibly have been used by midwives to provide reassurance for pregnant women and to teach young married couples about anatomy and pregnancy. Models like this are sometimes found in pairs, male and female, and the female figure is always shown as pregnant.

While Rep. Ron Paul won't go as far as to endorse the many conspiracy theories that have been born out of the most recent jobs report, he believes that the unemployment rate is much worse than the 7.8 percent.
After all, it's no secret that the unemployment rate does not account for all people out of work, he explained in a weekly email to his supporters.
"In 1994 government statisticians came up with the term "discouraged worker" to remove entire swaths of people from the unemployment statistic," he wrote. "Now all the government has to do to improve the unemployment numbers is discourage people from looking for a job."
While Paul won't says so himself, he did mention that Jim Rogers, a well respected investor, suggested that the drop in the unemployment rate from 8.1 to 7.8 percent might have been a "fudged" considering the upcoming elections.
"The situation on the ground looks nothing like a recovery," considering that there are 23 million unemployed people in the U.S., wrote Paul. Consequently, small business leaders and investors such as Rogers do not trust number from Bureau of Labor and Statistics.
In Paul's opinion, the unemployment rate is not just slightly higher than the reported 7.8 percent.
The real drivers of the productive economy can't afford to take risks based on false numbers. This is why economist John Williams created Shadow Government Statistics, utilizing more traditional methodologies and definitions to show business decision makers the real economic picture, warts and all. He shows the real unemployment rate to be a staggering 22.8 percent.
That would make the real unemployment rate almost thrice what the government says it is.
"This is a difficult figure to accept as the actual truth," wrote Paul, but he hopes it would make the public more willing to cut stimulus spending and oppose quantitative easing.

Looks like the EU has gone the way of the UN in usefulness. So I'll pray they keep themselves in Europe and not annoy the progress inspired parts of the world.

Atekimogus wrote:On one hand I agree with you, no matter how much money they are pumping into them I cannot see them recovering anytime soon and I fear the spectre of greece going bankrupt will be used by some to do pretty much everything they want.
Atekimogus wrote:On the other hand I do pity them, because I doubt the common greece citizen on the street is really to blame for that debacle and since most of the debt they have was given by the rest of europe (mostly germany afaik) it seems a bit dishonest to loan and loan and loan them as long as there's profit to be made and then by SO surprised when they are neckdeep in trouble.
It's like those credit card companies which still send you their cards despite knowing that you need to pay for their cards with other credit cards already. Everyone knows it's just a matter of time before the big fuckup occurs but everyone is to greedy to say "stop, or is just a matter of time before you default on your debt".
Mikey wrote:The creditors may be tricky, but in the final analysis it's the responsibility of the debtor to analyze the debt load to which they are agreeing. If you take the money, you are innately agreeing to pay it back; it's AT LEAST as dishonest for a debtor to take on a load without intention, design, a/o ability to make recompense as it is to loan it to such a debtor.
Atekimogus wrote:Now call me a commie if you like but imho there is a huge requirement for thougher and stricter regulations on both ends, starting with bringing the elected officials to account if they screw up as spectacularily as in greece. Now I am not saying they should put the whole corrupt bunch in front of a firing squad................well, actually...yes, that is exactly what they should do...or better, take everything away from them and force them to life like the lower third of their own population.
Mikey wrote:You're not a "commie" - but, I hate to tell you, there IS a measure to hold the elected officials accountable. It's called the democratic/republican process. Think George Papandreou screwed up big-time? Well, so did Greece at large. End result? He's out of a job.
Deepcrush wrote:The problem for Greece is that constantly trying to bail them out, only to drive the rest of Europe into debt, then only to end up begging the G20 for money to keep bailing the rest of Europe out.
You just end up with the problems the US had under Bush Jr. Sometimes you just need to fold someone up and then start over again.

By far the most common type of material. It uses mass loading to lower panel resonance and absorb structural vibrations, converting them into low level heat. Most commonly used throughout a vehicle to control structural related noises. They can also be used in conjunction with a composite to reduce road/engine/exhaust noise.
As the name suggests, these products literally absorb airborne sound waves. The sound waves have to propagate through the absorber and the open/closed cell foam will slow it's progress reducing the overall level in the process. Most commonly used on floors and firewalls to reduce road/engine/exhaust noise.
Best results are achieved by using more than one of sound deadening, so a composite is quite simply a combination of two of the above types into a single easy to install product.


text: This is a no-fee, invitation-only 100-mile race located in Titusville, Florida. Visit the race website for information on how to obtain an Invitation To Run. The course consists of 29 loops of a beautiful 3.46-mile loop consisting mostly of single track and narrow double track trail run through the Enchanted Forest Nature Sanctuary. The course is about 70% shaded. The trails are not completely flat, but there are no big hills. There are a few roots, mostly on the Magnolia Loop (back loop), but the entire course is runnable, with the possible exception of the 10 or so steps up Mount Mahoney after crossing the bridge over the drainage canal. There are no sections that are steep or very technical. If you want to try your first 100, this may be the course for you, though it is a little more challenging than it first appears. The Florida weather can also be a factor, although it's usually reasonably nice in December. More information can be found at the race website www.ancientoaks100.com .

The Very Lovely Louis Vuitton Replica Brea Bag In Rose Ballerine!Categories:Louis Vuitton
I just got this Fangfangbag5.209.idcice.net review today and I was really excited to share it with you! My friend fell in love with this Louis Vuitton replica Brea bag as soon as she saw it and it's not difficult to see why!
The Rose Ballerine color was released by Louis Vuitton for Spring/Summer 2015 and it's a very light shade of pink. Rose Ballerine combined with Monogram Vernis leather, it just doesn't get more feminine than this!
The first time I saw this Louis Vuitton replica bag I was a bit worried about the trims around the handles, the shoulder strap, the top of the bag and the interior pocket because they looked more orange-y on Fang's site as opposed to dark red on the official LV site and the vachetta looked a bit darker too. But my friend decided to go for it because she just liked the Brea too much! Here is her Fangfangbag5.209.idcice.net review:
"Hi Eva! I'm so excited to show you my new Brea!!! I tried it on in the boutique and absolutely fell in love so I decided to get it from Fang instead of paying like $3000+ at LV (can't even remember the price)!
So you have pointed out the trims are not as dark red as it showed on the official site but I've asked Fang, she said the photos appear to be lighter than the actual bag so I decided to go for it anyway!
It turns out it's not so bad I guess? I think the way she shipped the bag kinda destroy the sides of the bag a bit!! Let me know!!"
After seeing this photos, I do think that the trims look more authentic than on Fang's site, light sometimes changes the way the colors actually look. Unfortunately, things like that happen sometimes during shipping. My advice for my friend was to either stuff the bag with tissue paper for a few days or just carry it because daily use helps the bag regain its natural shape. Here's what she told me:
"I just contacted Fang and she taught me how to fix the bag! It looks perfect now!! I will attach some pictures so you can have a look!" Here's how the sides look now. Much better, right?
If you're wondering why this happened to the bag and what did the trick, here's the answer:
"Because Fang stuffed too much tissue paper in the bag during shipping so the papers destroy the natural shape. I just simply push the lower surface of the side of the bag where it suppose to pop out then it returns back it's normal look! Check the picture if I sound confusing."
And since my friend really wanted her Fangfangbag5.209.idcice.net review to be helpful, she also sent a picture of the authentic Louis Vuitton Brea Vernis Rose Ballerine that she took in the LV boutique:
An amazing review of a gorgeous bag! What do you girls think of Fang's Louis Vuitton replica Brea bag? Do you like this color?

Love is complicated enough on its own, but the internet tends to make it even trickier. It can be hard to tell when someone is tweeting @ you out of kindness and friendship, or our of an interest in something more. It's true of people, and it's true of video games.
Writer/romantic/roustabout (and erstwhile Kotaku contributor) Cara Ellison found this out the hard way when she got into this humorous back-and-forth with the official Crysis Twitter account, eventually being 'friendzoned' by the game.
So sad. Those darned video games. They always say they want a nice girl but then they friendzone you and go out with a troublemaker. Typical.

Strength Academy necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 345 diseños de 66 diseñadores freelance.
Action Health & Fitness
Action Health and Fitness is a new and exciting business covering all aspects of the health and fitness industry. We are a young, energetic and dynamic team.
At the moment we are a small 2 man team with a passion for changing peoples lives for the better.
The services we provide include:
Personal Training
Massage Therapy
When clients are a part of AHAF we are offering people a lifestyle change and a commitment to them with educational, up to date modern exercises and nutritional advice to help with their every day needs.
We do not really have a target audience. We will be providing services for ages ranging from children, to teenagers, to adults, both male & female.
That being said, we envision a large majority of our clientele being from the baby boomer generation, say 30-60yrs old.
We are looking for something unique like the McDonalds Golden Arches or the Nike Tick etc. We are thinking it could utilise the A in action or something completely separate that signifies to take Action.
The design is to be modern with the look that is energetic yet also caring to the clients needs. I think the focus of the design is to show the professionalism of the business and to make it so that we stand out from the rest.
Colours - Our initial thoughts were Blue, Black, Silver and/or White.
We also like the look of metallic colours
That being said, please use your own artistic license and play - with what you think would look good.
The word "ACTION" should stand out from the "Health and Fitness"
We would like to see some designs of a logo/picture - this is once again up to your artistic license.
Additionally we were also thinking maybe the "A" in "Action" could stand out in some way.
What we don't like:
- Cartoons (we do like cartoons, but not for our logo)
- Bubble writing
- Nothing elegant
- The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too fancy.
Thanks a lot and we look forward to seeing your design.

Hutchins School Alumni
I want to express how extremely satisfied I am with the Hutchins Program here at Sonoma State University. The way that it is structured and the professors who teach have allowed me the flexibility to expand and contract with the demands of life, while being supportive and providing feedback and encouragement with my development and completion of my degree. The depth of knowledge and enthusiasm that my professors display is infectious, and shows me how dedicated and committed they are to teaching and the learning process. One of the things I love most about Hutchins is that the student is in control of the intensity of learning that they wish to experience. There is a downside to that, but for those that are willing to step up to see the challenge, this program has boundless potential for self-directed learning. It is this boundless potential that I was able to harness, and I am very satisfied with my education and eager to keep learning.
--Monicka Darling, former Hutchins student
I was lucky enough to be among the 100 members of the very first Hutchins School class, which began meeting in September 1969 with the five original professors: (provost and founder) Warren Olson, Bob Rueping, Art Bauman, Ira Kalet, and Jerry Tucker. We were a scruffy bunch and many of the students did not complete four years in the program. Professors Bauman and Kalet were gone after the first year and Rueping followed soon after. Anyone interested in the gory detail of those first tumultuous years is welcome to contact me via my website.
Hutchins School was perfect for me. I am a self-motivated learner who loves to read, write, and discuss ideas. My learning experiences at Hutchins set me on an eclectic path that led to and informed my career as a freelance writer and editor. Among other professions chosen by members of the original class include one or more of the following: filmmaker, attorney, engineer, chiropractor, nutritionist, teacher, artist, chef, business executive, actor, journalist, education administrator, and farmer. Many of us have been entrepreneurial to the extent that we have started companies and non-profit organizations, traveled the world and lived for extended periods overseas. On the whole, we turned out well, creating families of many kinds and descriptions. I'm still in touch with many of the Hutchinites I met at age 18 and count them as dear friends.
Physically, the world of Hutchins that we knew no longer exists. We started attending classes in the old library, between Stevenson and Ives halls, before moving into "portable" buildings that sat just south of Stevenson. We studied on a nearly treeless campus that had offered no student housing, no intercollegiate athletics, no public transit, no Internet, no cellphones, and no student body association. Our tuition was less than $70 per semester.
Besides me, here are some of the folks who appear in my photos: George Jackson, Jonathan Baylis, Quincy Charter, Kathy Anderson, Janet Nussbaum, Marcy Page, Eric Shafer, Les Adler, Michael Coleman, Richard Dangerfield, Warren Olson, Warner Yuill-Thornton, Larry Jordan, Dirk Sigler, Ed Cohen, Howie Ortman, Barbie Page, Debbie Granat, Diana Halpenny, Moon Williams, Sue Diridoni, Ron Miller, Ann del Tredici, Lu Mattson, Tony Mountain, Maurice Blaug, Janet Hughes, and Elaine Laingen. Some other names have been lost to memory. Let me know if you can identify them.

Some days the comment of the day is there to inform, some days to entertain, and some days to save your life. Today's Comment of the Day, courtesy of commenter Gunneh, comes in under the last category.
In response to today's post about the unfortunate match-up between a sleeping bag and a black widow spider (i.e., the post will still be keeping me awake at 3AM), Gunneh gives us this handy rule:
Wow it just hit me, Black Widow in the Northern Hemisphere has a red marking on its belly... Redback in the Southern Hemisphere has it on its back. EVERYTHING IS UPSIDE DOWN IN AUSTRALIA!
(FYI Redbacks are just as infamous and common in Australia as Black Widows are in the the US)
So there you have it. Red mark on the belly, Black Widow. Red mark on the back, Australian Redback.
Next step: Figuring out how to roll a spider over.

Blacks still victimized by 'stand your ground'
Freddie Allen | 2/23/2014, 6:57 a.m.
WASHINGTON (NNPA ) – Two years ago, 14-year-old Trayvon Martin was returning from a trip from a nearby 7-Eleven store in Sanford, Fla., to purchase a bag of Skittles and a can of Arizona tea when he was confronted by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman.
Instead of making it back to the house to watch the tip-off of an NBA All-Star game, the unarmed Black teenager was fatally shot in the heart by Zimmerman, who was later acquitted of first-degree murder charges.
The not guilty verdict triggered protests across the country and calls for a review of Florida's controversial "stand your ground" law that justifies the use of deadly force by anyone who believes their action was necessary to prevent "imminent death or great bodily harm" to them. The killer gets a free pass even if the person on the receiving end of a deadly bullet is unarmed. Even if that person is not breaking any laws. Even if that person happens to be a frightened Black teenager. Especially if that person is a frightened Black teenager.
Wednesday will mark the two-year anniversary of Martin's death. Two years after the fatal slaying, Florida and more than 20 other states still have "stand your ground" statutes in place, which have led to other incidents with racial overtones.
Standing on Florida's "stand your ground" law, Zimmerman, who identified himself as Hispanic, was acquitted July 13, 2013, of first-degree murder.
On Saturday, six months later, a jury failed to reach a first-degree murder verdict against Michael Dunn, a White computer programmer, in connection with the death of Jordan Davis, a Black teenager, at a Jacksonville, Fla., convenience store. Upset over the loud music coming from a vehicle occupied by 17-year-old Davis and his friends – whom Dunn instantly characterized as "gangsters" and "thugs" – an enraged Dunn fired 10 shots into their Dodge Durango SUV. He continued to shoot into the vehicle even after it sped away, according to witnesses.
A jury composed of four White males, four White females, two Black females, a Hispanic male and an Asian female found Dunn guilty on three attempted second-degree murder charges, which could land him in jail for at least 60 years. However, a verdict could not be reached on first-degree murder charges, the most serious offense.
Al Sharpton called for the civil rights community to redouble its efforts in Florida, a state he described as "ground zero" for the battle against "stand your ground" laws. "From Trayvon Martin to Jordan Davis enough is enough," Sharpton stated.
But the "stand your ground" law in Florida is not enough when the assailant is Black.
For example, in 2010, a year before Martin was killed by Zimmerman, Michael Giles, who was on active duty with the U.S. Air Force, and some friends were attending a party at a local nightclub in Tallahassee when a fight broke out between Florida A&M University fraternities.
Giles, who was licensed to carry a concealed weapon, went to his vehicle and retrieved a pistol and stuck it in his pants pocket. Giles testified – and other witnesses confirmed – that he was punched in the face. Lying on the floor and fearing for his life, Giles drew his gun and shot his alleged assailant one time in the leg; two others were injured by stray bullet fragments. For that, Giles, who had no criminal record, received a 25-year sentence for attempted murder, which he is still serving.

Fizber makes selling For Sale By Owner easy. We offer step-by-step guidance from listing to closing
Pricing your home correctly is one of the most crucial pieces of the puzzle to successfully sell your home for sale by owner (FSBO). If you price your home too high, it can sit on the market while if you price it too low, you risk leaving money on the table.
Most first time FSBO's think that they need to pay for an appraisal to accurately price their home, however, this can cost hundreds of dollars and be a lengthy process.
Every Fizber Listing comes with a complimentary Home Valuation that removes the guesswork and hassle out of from the process and helps FSBO's list at a price that sells quickly and for the most money!

Fizber is a free listing for sale by owner (FSBO) service providing a full suite of easy-to-use tools designed to maximize exposure and simplify the home sales process (like a Flat Fee MLS Listing). The average homeseller can save up to $15,000 selling their home FSBO based on the US average sales price of $250,000.
Typically when a homeowner lists with a real estate agent, they must agree to pay a commission fee of 5% to 6% (in some cases, as high as 7%) of the purchase price. For example, if Susan listed her home with a real estate agent at a 6% commission fee and the home sold for $300,000, Susan would need to pay an $18,000 commission fee to the agents involved in the transaction,rather than holding onto that money herself. Ouch!
If you own your home and are looking to save thousands of dollars selling it, give Fizber a try and we will help you get great online exposure. Fizber services include listing your house for free, helping find professionals to aid in buying or selling a home, and tools for researching and finding a neighborhood that meets your needs.

The truth, as it so often turns out to be, is far more interesting than the myth.
Patients were booked into the clinic under assumed names - an understandable necessity for privacy - and travelled in Leighton Jones' car from Eraring to Morisset, spending the 30-minute journey in the back seat with the donor monkey as companion.
Today, the people of Dora Creek know little of what happened all those years ago, and they'll tell you even less. They squint through security doors and murmur that it's "all but forgotten now" or was "a queer thing". Some joke about it, reciting the urban myth all over again. Even the editor of the local paper declares the story of Henry Leighton Jones "nonsense" that belongs in "a mixing bag of about 5000 other local myths".
UPDATE : Jack Marx has a new book out called Australian Tragic, a few dozen forgotten tales of our dark history. Haven't read it yet, but there appears to be a follow-up on the story of Henry Leighton Jones in those pages, as well as a whole load of remarkable Australian stories stories I haven't heard about before.

Feb. 20, 2011
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The Thunderdome was a sea of pink on Sunday afternoon as UCSB spectators, players, coaches and staff all wore the color for its annual Pink Zone game, held to raise breast cancer awareness. The Gauchos did not disappoint their rose-clad fans, as they topped visiting Seattle University, 67-57, in the non-conference match-up.
"We are really excited to get a win on Pink Zone day," head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "It is just a really special thing for our team and our coaching staff. I think it is one of the cool things that women's basketball does - to come together and to play for a bigger cause. So, it's fun that we had a great crowd dressed in pink today and we are excited to get the win."
With the win, UCSB improves to 16-10 on the season and stretches its current win streak to four games. Seattle falls to 7-20 on the year.
Four Gauchos scored in double figures to help lead UCSB to the victory. Junior Emilie Johnson posted a team-leading 19 points, 18 coming in the first half. Senior Mekia Valentine chipped in 13 points and 17 rebounds for her 11th double-double of the season. She also had seven blocks. Nicole Nesbit and Sweets Underwood had 12 and 11 points, respectively, off the bench.
UCSB never trailed during the game and took the biggest led of the contest at 17 points with 3:39 to go in the first half off a pair of free throws by Johnson. The Gauchos shot 100 percent from the foul line in the first stanza, sinking all 10 of their attempts. Johnson led the way going 4-for-4 from the line in the first half in addition to her four three-pointers in the opening 20 minutes.
Seattle chipped away at the Gaucho lead in the second half and came within three points with 6:16 to go, following a layup by Carley Butcher. A three-pointer by Destini Mason followed by a pair of layups from Valentine pushed UCSB's lead back to eight, but a jumper by Ashley Ward and a three-pointer from Elle Kerfoot put the Redhawks back within three with 3:32 to go.
UCSB was able to shut out Seattle down the stretch and Nesbit scored four of her 12 points to help the Gauchos secure the win.
The Gauchos remained impressive from behind the line and for the game made 15 of their 17 free throw attempts.
"There's a collective feel of confidence," Gottlieb said of the free throws. "Sometimes, it's contagious. I really like that we're getting to the line a lot, and obviously that we're knocking them down."
The annual Pink Zone game is an effort by women's basketball programs across the nation to raise awareness of breast cancer and raise funds to help support research to beat the disease.
"My mother struggled with breast cancer for a lot of her life," Valentine said. "It's a great cause. We're all very proud, strong women and we did justice for the cause. We were excited to come out wearing our pink gear."
The members of the UCSB women's basketball team - as in previous years - decorated pink shirts that were purchased by fans with all of the proceeds going to the Kay Yow Cancer Fun.
Kay Yow, former North Carolina State University head women's basketball coach, was a past president and founding member of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), and a galvanizing voice for the Association. Yow was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987, and battled the disease for the third time before her passing on January 24, 2009 at the age of 66.
