Notes to Editor:
About Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic, life-threatening disorder characterized by abnormally high blood pressure in the arteries between the heart and lungs of an affected individual. The function of the heart and lungs is severely compromised, manifested by a limited exercise capacity, and, ultimately, a reduced life expectancy. Approximately 100,000 people in Europe and the United States are afflicted with either primary or secondary forms of the disease related to conditions or tissue disorders that affect the lungs, such as scleroderma, lupus, HIV/AIDS or congenital heart disease.
The available therapies have shown positive treatment effects in patients with PAH, but they do not provide a cure, and in many patients the disease will progress. PAH remains a serious life-threatening condition [1, 2]. Early recognition and an understanding of the selection and timing of therapeutic options remain critical elements in the optimal management of PAH patients.

Review of http://www.accessibility.nl/internet/WCAG20/WCAG20.htm The version referenced has validation errors. I found two types on quick review: 1) There are instances of code like

The CAPTCHA Project, Carnegie Mellon University. The project is online at  http://www.captcha.net.
 The second ... wrapped around the title shouldn't be there. This sort of problem occurs several times. 2) There are also some stray empty  elements, some of which may be introduced for the translation and some may reflect English content that was moved. These sorts of errors make it difficult to automatically integrate the Dutch version with other resources we have. Because they are examples of source-code changes, there may be other differences between the translated and English version that were less easy to spot.

Ipug Eyes Euronext Index Bundle, Fee Hikes
User group mulls challenge to exchange's product consolidation that increases subscriber costs
In recent weeks, the Scottish arm of UK market data consumer group Ipug has met to discuss benchmark index licensing issues and what it claims are "anti-competitive" changes to the way NYSE Euronext bundles its benchmark index data, which the exchange streamlined last year following a rationalization designed to simplify its data products, and raised prices for its Level 2 datafeed.
On Nov. 1, 2011, the exchange bundled its index sub-packages into a single All Indexes package, having previously separated these packages in 2008 (IMD, July 11, 2008). NYSE Euronext's Market Indices Package—which included the CAC40 French stock market index—and its Volatility and Strategy Indices were previously available separately for €4, €3 and €2 per user per month, respectively. However, these packages are now only available as part of the All Indexes package, which contains national indexes for other Euronext markets, for €9 per user per month.
At the same time, NYSE Euronext increased monthly fees for its Cash Level 2 feed—which provides real-time, full-depth market data for the exchange's four cash markets in Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon and Paris—by 15 percent from €73 per device to €84 per device. End-user firms facing higher costs as a result of the changes have accused the exchange of arbitrarily changing policies to increase fees.
At a meeting of Scottish Ipug on the Feb. 21, executives outlined the changes for member firms that may have been unaware of the restructuring. "Customers are saying that they do not like bundling as it is forcing them to buy three index products when they only want one," says one Ipug executive. "It creates an anti-competitive environment where indexes are bundled under a new data policy. In line with previous actions taken by European market data associations with the European Commission's directorate general for competition, members are reserving the right to engage once again with the Commission on this topic."
Virginie O'Shea, analyst at Aite Group, says it is not unusual for data providers to bundle and unbundle their data, but adds that it is often unpopular with consumers. "Industry bodies like Ipug have been campaigning to try to stop the vendors from doing that because pricing packages change dramatically when they bundle things together. It's a real point of contention, as it brings up the cost of market data, and once one vendor does it the others do it too, so users are worried about the knock-on effects," she says.
Cameron MacDonald, senior product manager of global index and European cash market data at NYSE Euronext, defends the rationalization project, which was designed to "standardize and simplify" its product mix where multiple permutations of products had evolved. The exchange began the project at the start of last year, and notified clients over the summer. MacDonald says the exchange decided to re-bundle the Market, Volatility and Strategy index sub-packages after poor uptake. "For two of [the sub-packages] the number of customers was minimal. The Market Indexes package had a few more, but the vast majority of clients are on the All Indexes package, so in terms of administration and organizing, it made more sense for our customers," he adds, though the Ipug executive disputes this, saying that the CAC40—the main appeal of the Market Indexes package—is used ubiquitously by banks.
MacDonald acknowledges that fees will increase for consumers of the discontinued Market Index package, but says that the other indexes provide extra value, and complement the Market indexes. "And if it comes down to price … we kept it at a competitive price point," he says.

The modern nation of Iraq is built upon foundations that go back to some of humanity's earliest complex cultures. It was in Iraq, also known as Mesopotamia, that Babylonian king Hammurabi regularized the law in the Code of Hammurabi, c. 1772 BCE.

Under Hammurabi's system, society would inflict upon a criminal the same harm that the criminal had inflicted upon his victim. This is codified in the famous dictum, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." More recent Iraqi history, however, tends to support the Mahatma Gandhi's take on this rule. He is supposed to have said that "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."

Capital and Major Cities

Capital: Baghdad, population 9,500,000 (2008 estimate)

Major cities: Mosul, 3,000,000

Basra, 2,300,000

Arbil, 1,294,000

Kirkuk, 1,200,000

Government of Iraq

The Republic of Iraq is a parliamentary democracy. The head of state is the president, currently Jalal Talabani, while the head of government is Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

The unicameral parliament is called the Council of Representatives; its 325 members serve four-year terms. Eight of those seats are specifically reserved for ethnic or religious minorities.

Iraq's judiciary system consists of the Higher Judicial Council, the Federal Supreme Court, the Federal Court of Cassation, and lower courts. ("Cassation" literally means "to quash" - it is another term for appeals, evidently taken from the French legal system.)

Population

Iraq has a total population of about 30.4 million. The population growth rate is an estimated 2.4%. About 66% of Iraqis live in urban areas.

Some 75-80% of Iraqis are Arabs. Another 15-20% are Kurds, by far the largest ethnic minority; they live primarily in northern Iraq. The remaining roughly 5% of the population is made up of Turkomen, Assyrians, Armenians, Chaldeans and other ethnic groups.

Languages

Both Arabic and Kurdish are official languages of Iraq. Kurdish is an Indo-European language related to Iranian languages.

Minority languages in Iraq include Turkoman, which is a Turkic language; Assyrian, a Neo-Aramaic language of the Semitic language family; and Armenian, an Indo-European language with possible Greek roots. Thus, although the total number of languages spoken in Iraq is not high, the linguistic variety is great.

Religion

Iraq is an overwhelmingly Muslim country, with an estimated 97% of the population following Islam. Perhaps unfortunately, it is also among the most even divided countries on Earth in terms of Sunni and Shi'a populations; 60 to 65% of Iraqis are Shi'a, while 32 to 37% are Sunni.

Under Saddam Hussein, the Sunni minority controlled the government, often persecuting Shi'as. Since the new constitution was implemented in 2005, Iraq is supposed to be a democratic country, but the Shi'a/Sunni split is a source of much tension as the nation sorts out a new form of government.

Iraq also has a small Christian community, around 3% of the population. During the nearly decade-long war following the US-led invasion in 2003, many Christians fled Iraq for Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, or western countries.

Geography

Iraq is a desert country, but it is watered by two major rivers - the Tigris and the Euphrates. Only 12% of Iraq's land is arable. It controls a 58 km (36 mile) coast on the Persian Gulf, where the two rivers empty into the Indian Ocean.

Iraq is bordered by Iran to the east, Turkey and Syria to the north, Jordan and Saudi Arabia to the west, and Kuwait to the southeast. Its highest point is Cheekah Dar, a mountain in the north of the country, at 3,611 m (11,847 feet). Its lowest point is sea level.

Climate

As a subtropical desert, Iraq experiences extreme seasonal variation in temperature. In parts of the country, July and August temperatures average over 48°C (118°F). During the rainy winter months of December through March, however, temperatures drop below freezing not infrequently. Some years, heavy mountain snow in the north produces dangerous flooding on the rivers.

The lowest temperature recorded in Iraq was -14°C (7°F). The highest temperature was 54°C (129°F).

Another key feature of Iraq's climate is the sharqi, a southerly wind that blows from April through early June, and again in October and November. It gusts up to 80 kilometers per hour (50 mph), causing sand storms that can be seen from space.

Economy

The economy of Iraq is all about oil; "black gold" provides more than 90% of government revenue and accounts for 80% of the country's foreign exchange income. As of 2011, Iraq was producing 1.9 million barrels per day of oil, while consuming 700,000 barrels per day domestically. (Even as it exports almost 2 million barrels per day, Iraq also imports 230,000 barrels per day.)

Since the start of the US-led War in Iraq in 2003, foreign aid has become a major component of Iraq's economy, as well. The US has pumped some $58 billion dollars worth of aid into the country between 2003 and 2011; other nations have pledged an additional $33 billion in reconstruction aid.

Iraq's workforce is employed primarily in the service sector, although about 15 to 22% work in agriculture. The unemployment rate is around 15%, and an estimated 25% of Iraqis live below the poverty line.

The Iraqi currency is the dinar. As of February 2012, $1 US is equal to 1,163 dinar.

History of Iraq

Part of the Fertile Crescent, Iraq was one of the early sites of complex human civilization and agricultural practice. Once called Mesopotamia, Iraq was the seat of the Sumerian and Babylonian cultures c. 4,000 - 500 BCE. During this early period, Mesopotamians invented or refined technologies such as writing and irrigation; the famous King Hammurabi (r. 1792- 1750 BCE) recorded the law in the Code of Hammurabi, and over a thousand of years later, Nebuchadnezzar II (r. 605 - 562 BCE) built the incredible Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

After about 500 BCE, Iraq was ruled by a succession of Persian dynasties, such as the Achaemenids, the Parthians, the Sassanids and the Seleucids. Although local governments existed in Iraq, they were under Iranian control until the 600s CE.

In 633, the year after the Prophet Muhammad died, a Muslim army under Khalid ibn Walid invaded Iraq. By 651, the soldiers of Islam had brought down the Sassanid Empire in Persia and began to Islamicize the region that is now Iraq and Iran.

Between 661 and 750, Iraq was a dominion of the Umayyad Caliphate, which ruled from Damascus (now in Syria). The Abbasid Caliphate, which ruled the Middle East and North Africa from 750 to 1258, decided to build a new capital closer to the political power hub of Persia. It built the city of Baghdad, which became a center of Islamic art and learning.

In 1258, catastrophe struck the Abbasids and Iraq in the form the Mongols under Hulagu Khan, a grandson of Genghis Khan. The Mongols demanded that Baghdad surrender, but the Caliph Al-Mustasim refused. Hulagu's troops laid siege to Baghdad, taking the city with at least 200,000 Iraqi dead. The Mongols also burned the Grand Library of Baghdad and its wonderful collection of documents - one of the great crimes of history. The caliph himself was executed by being rolled in a carpet and trampled by horses; this was an honorable death in Mongol culture because none of the caliph's noble blood touched the ground.

Hulagu's army would meet defeat by the Egyptian Mamluk slave-army in the Battle of Ayn Jalut. In the Mongols' wake, however, the Black Death carried away about a third of Iraq's population. In 1401, Timur the Lame (Tamerlane) captured Baghdad and ordered another massacre of its people.

Timur's fierce army only controlled Iraq for a few years and was supplanted by the Ottoman Turks. The Ottoman Empire would rule Iraq from the fifteenth century through 1917 when Britain wrested the Middle East from Turkish control and the Ottoman Empire collapsed.

Iraq Under Britain

Under the British/French plan to divide the Middle East, the 1916 Sykes-Picot Agreement, Iraq became part of the British Mandate. On November 11, 1920, the region became a British mandate under the League of Nations, called the "State of Iraq." Britain brought in a (Sunni) Hashemite king from the region of Mecca and Medina, now in Saudi Arabia, to rule over the primarily Shi'a Iraqis and Kurds of Iraq, sparking widespread discontent and rebellion.

In 1932, Iraq gained nominal independence from Britain, although the British-appointed King Faisal still ruled the country and the British military had special rights in Iraq. The Hashemites ruled until 1958 when King Faisal II was assassinated in a coup led by Brigadier General Abd al-Karim Qasim. This signaled the beginning of a rule by a series of strongmen over Iraq, which lasted through 2003.

Qasim's rule survived for just five years, before being overthrown in turn by Colonel Abdul Salam Arif in February of 1963. Three years later, Arif's brother took power after the colonel died; however, he would rule Iraq for just two years before being deposed by a Ba'ath Party-led coup in 1968. The Ba'athist government was led by Ahmed Hasan Al-Bakir at first, but he was slowly elbowed aside over the next decade by Saddam Hussein.

Saddam Hussein formally seized power as president of Iraq in 1979. The following year, feeling threatened by rhetoric from the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, new leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Saddam Hussein launched an invasion of Iran that led to the eight-year-long Iran-Iraq War.

Hussein himself was a secularist, but the Ba'ath Party was dominated by Sunnis. Khomeini hoped that Iraq's Shi'ite majority would rise up against Hussein in an Iranian Revolution-style movement, but that did not happen. With support from the Gulf Arab states and the United States, Saddam Hussein was able to fight the Iranians to a stalemate. He also took the opportunity to use chemical weapons against tens of thousands of Kurdish and Marsh Arab civilians within his own country, as well as against the Iranian troops, in blatant violation of international treaty norms and standards.

Its economy ravaged by the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq decided to invade the small but wealthy neighboring nation of Kuwait in 1990. Saddam Hussein announced that he had annexed Kuwait; when he refused to withdraw, the United Nations Security Council voted unanimously to take military action in 1991 in order to oust the Iraqis. An international coalition led by the United States (which had been allied with Iraq just three years earlier) routed the Iraqi Army in a matter of months, but Saddam Hussein's troops set fire to Kuwaiti oil wells on their way out, causing an ecological disaster along the Persian Gulf coast. This fighting would come to be known as the First Gulf War.

Following the First Gulf War, the United States patrolled a no-fly zone over the Kurdish north of Iraq to protect civilians there from Saddam Hussein's government; Iraqi Kurdistan began to function as a separate country, even while nominally still part of Iraq. Throughout the 1990s, the international community was concerned that Saddam Hussein's government was trying to develop nuclear weapons. In 1993, the US also learned that Hussein had made a plan to assassinate President George H. W. Bush during the First Gulf War. The Iraqis allowed UN weapons inspectors in to the country, but expelled them in 1998, claiming that they were CIA spies. In October of that year, US President Bill Clinton called for "regime change" in Iraq.

After George W. Bush became president of the United States in 2000, his administration began to prepare for a war against Iraq. Bush the younger resented Saddam Hussein's plans to kill Bush the elder, and made the case that Iraq was developing nuclear weapons despite rather flimsy evidence. The September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington DC gave Bush the political cover he needed to launch a Second Gulf War, even though Saddam Hussein's government had nothing to do with al-Qaeda or the 9/11 attacks.

Iraq War

The Iraq War began on March 20, 2003, when a US-led coalition invaded Iraq from Kuwait. The coalition drove the Ba'athist regime out of power, installing an Iraqi Interim Government in June of 2004, and organizing free elections for October of 2005. Saddam Hussein went into hiding but was captured by US troops on December 13, 2003. In the chaos, sectarian violence broke out across the country between the Shi'a majority and the Sunni minority; al-Qaeda seized the opportunity to establish a presence in Iraq.

Iraq's interim government tried Saddam Hussein for the killing of Iraqi Shi'ites in 1982 and sentenced him to death. Saddam Hussein was hanged on December 30, 2006. After a "surge" of troops to quell violence in 2007-2008, the US withdrew from Baghdad in June of 2009 and left Iraq completely in December of 2011.

Blair Says Stable Iraq Will Deal 'Body Blow' To Terrorists
British PM Blair on a previous visit to Iraq (file photo) (CTK) 22 December 2005 -- Restoring stability in Iraq will deal a "body blow" to global terrorists, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said in a surprise visit to Iraq today.
In an address to British troops in the southern city of Al-Basrah, Blair said that a stable Iraq would make the region and the whole world safer.
Blair was on his fourth trip to Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 that ousted Saddam Hussein.
The British prime minister earlier held talks with top U.S. and British officials in Iraq.

Layton ThompsonBritish Red Cross volunteers and staff were on hand after a British Airways jet crash-landed at London City Airport on Friday 13 February.
A total of five Red Cross emergency response vehicles rushed to the scene, together with eight volunteers and members of staff. They provided medical and emotional support to the passengers and crew.
Three people were taken to hospital, and Red Cross staff, working with London Ambulance Service, provided medical treatment to two others.
Jonathan Edmondson, emergency response manager for London, said: "Our volunteers and staff were on the scene soon after the incident, to provide medical support and also to attend to the emotional well-being of the people involved.
"They also provided practical support, such as distributing some basic hygiene items to passengers while they waited for bags to be unloaded from the aircraft."
The British Red Cross responded in partnership with the airport, using specially adapted vehicles and trained staff as part of their fire and emergency support service (FESS).

In the May 29 Denver Post, writer Jeremy P. Meyer laid out (egg pun alert) a nice story about urban and suburban Colorudians … Coloradanutes … people who live around here raising backyard chickens. Which is, I think, also the name of an alternative rock band out of Arkansas.
But the point here, and I don't really have one, is that in the entire story about raising chickens in non-farm settings not once did anyone state the obvious: At least our city chickens aren't stoned like those cannabis-eating pigs in Washington state.
From National Public Radio: "William von Schneidau, an intrepid butcher in Seattle … has been feeding marijuana refuse to the pigs he turns into prosciutto … ."
And I think I speak for all of us here when I say, "Well, at least they die happy."
Frankly, the stoned pigs may be more than happy. You know, from what I hear. They probably laugh hysterically. Picture this: a whole bunch of pigs laughing so hard they can't breathe, making jokes about why their human, that von Schnickelgruber fella, is carrying a big cleaver and then, suddenly, the Frito bowl is empty and they can't find their porky pal Roger.
Here's what we know: Pigs on pot develop an increased appetite, which is common also in humans on pot. Again, from what I hear. And it's not just that von Klinkenhoffer guy.
Susanna Gross owns a small farm north of Seattle. She's part of a group experimenting with ways to dispose of the unwanted stems, roots and leaves from pot plants.
Footnote: In the grand scheme of things we should worry about, this bumps "crazy-eyed North Korean leader with uranium" down to the No. 2 spot.
The Reuters news agency said this about Susanna's swine: "Four pigs whose feed was supplemented with potent plant leavings … ended up 20 to 30 pounds heavier than the half-dozen other pigs from the same litter when they were sent to slaughter in March."
From Susanna: "They were eating more, as you can imagine."
I can.
Washington is one of two states to legalize marijuana. This has caused tens of thousands of Seattludians to wander toward the coast on weekends, hoping to actually hear Puget Sound.
The other state to legalize pot recently is, of course, Colorado. Which is the only possible explanation for the clamor for tickets for the Justin Bieber concert at the Pepsi Center later this month.
But here we don't feed discarded material from marijuana plants to our pigs, opting instead to recycle the leaves and stems in a more environmentally approved method. And by environmentally approved, I mean pot brownies.
"You've got to be kidding," said Becky Guion of the Family Roots Farm in Cañon City, where they raise pigs. "I can't imagine a pig with an appetite problem. Mine sure don't. They eat as much as you put out there."
(For more on that subject, Google "Gov. Christie's laparoscopic gastric band surgery.")
Candee Glover of Peaks to Prairie Show Pigs in Fort Lupton agreed. "Pigs are made to eat," she said. "They really don't need any help."
And down in Durango — where Colorado meets Rhode Island, North Dakota and Maine to form the Four Corners — the James Ranch treats its pigs like royalty. You know, if you eventually ate the king and queen.
From its website: "Once the pigs are old enough, they are put out on pasture where they supplement their diet with mouthfuls of grass. They root and run and nap in the fresh air and sunshine. They live a happy, natural pig life."
Which makes them not totally unlike Charlie Sheen.
I called James Ranch owner Dan James and told him about the Washington pigs and the pot. He paused for a moment and launched into a serious dissertation on pigs and pork and natural diets without gimmicks.
And then he laughed.
"I bet the hard part," he said, "is keeping the joint lit while the pigs are smoking it."

FR music...When you want to impress yourself..
What floats your boat? What do you put on when you just want hear your full range speakers at their best? I'm always looking for new music and want to hear what other's like.
I'm not askng for the best audiophile recordings but rather the four or five recordings that you absolutely love to listen to on your full-range speakers, the ones that make you smile.
My current list: Played on Fostex FE108 Sigmas.
Patsy Cline - "12 Greatest Recordings" Old-time country. Big, rich 50's sound. Country's not my favorite genre, but WHAT A VOICE! Skip track #1 (Walkin' After Midnight) as it was mixed in the 60's and is only a shadow of the remaining 11 songs.
Gillian Welch - Pick em, but if you have never heard of her, start with "Soul Journey." Little bit of folk, little bit of country, little bit of blues, little bit of pop, but arguably the best singer/songwriter working today.
Johnny Cash - "American Recordings" Cash at his simplest and best, and an excellent recording as well.
Kraftwerk - "The Man-Machine" 1970's German Techno Pop. All electronic. A lot of fun to listen to. This music demands fast speakers, and that's what FR's do best, right?
Madeleine Peyroux - "Dreamland" Good sonics. Great female vocalist. Sort of like Billie Holiday. Good date music (she even sings a song in French!).
When I show off my system I put on Blackmores Night, Beyond the sunset. Ritchie Blackmore does some of his best guitar work and the the vocals are wonderful.:)
greeting, some selections artists and album titles
Chet Baker It could happen to you
Miles Davis Kind of blue
John Coltrane Cresent
Mose Alison Creek bank
Nina Simone Anything she did
Jenny Lewis Rabbit fur coat
Pooka self titled
Ross Hannaford Trio self titled
cheers fergs
Wow, some great stuff, and I thought Blackmore's name sounded familiar. What's really neat is that within an hour I was able to listened to cuts from all these CD's and will be looking for a couple of them.
Anyone else? What sounds good on your system?:D
Anything by the classic prog group Camel sounds awe inspiring - the soaring and ringing guitars, class leading dynamic rhythm(particularly the earlear albums) and innovative use of all the classic keyboards such as moog, rhodes, sting synths. The full melodic and intricate tonal nature of this emotive and lyrical music is lost on average speakers.
Try The Snow Goose for starters, a semi-classical and wonderfully melodic masterpiece specifically written for the Jordan, then follow up with Mirage, Breathless and Rain Dances. This group is like the Holy Grail to thoise that have been luck enough to discover and appreciate their talents.
After Camel I would say Elements (the best of Mike Oldfield), Pulse (Pink Floyd live), Immaculate Collection (Madonna), Riverdance (the original version), The Corrs Live in London (DVD),
Robert Miles 23AM, Tina Arena - Don't Ask, Yanni - Out Of Silence to mention a few essentials to any 'real music' lover's collection.

Happy Mother's Day to all you lovely ladies. I hope you have had a fantastic day what ever that might mean to each of you. I was able to spend the day with all my kids, something that means more to me than anything else in the world. My favourite times are when I can sit back and watch their interactions with each other. Listening to their jokes and laughter. Their serious conversations and the silly ones too..
I was having so much fun with the kids being here that I forgot to take any photo's... Silly me, oh well.. I did get a photo of my centrepiece and of brekky..(better than nothing)..
My brekky.. yummm
I have been doing a little sewing - I have finished the next instalment in the Sunday Stitchers, Sew-a-long, Natalie Bird's - Bluebird Lane Quilt. This will be the centre block..
I have also been able to stitch next months block too, so I can safely take a break to get into some other projects hanging around the craft room done..
A closer look..
Helen and I have been meeting up to doing a little walking in the mornings and sometimes it feels like we are taking a big risk with our lives by doing this.. A classic example happened just the other day - we were minding our own business, walking along and suddenly we were attacked by the local wildlife...
I did manage to get a photo of it before it attacked us...
Can't quite see it - how about now... Don't be frightened, we did manage to get away unharmed...lol
I have not put up a photo of 'The Chosen One' (the kids nickname for Maci) so I thought it was about time I did... Hello sweetheart, want a cuddle...

Bernard Ebbers, WorldCom chief executive officer, said that that the SEC contacted the company last Friday. The SEC request included documents relating to loans made by WorldCom to officers or directors, the integration of WorldCom's computer system with that of MCI, the company's long-distance arm, and WorldCom's tracking and review of analysts' earnings estimates.
Securities regulators also asked for material relating to federal or state agency investigations of WorldCom, for organisational charts and personnel records for former employees, and for disputed customer bills and sales commissions.
WorldCom said that it had suspended employees at three branch offices in February after allegations that some had booked up to US$4 million in phony commissions.
Documents requested by the SEC date back as far as January 1999. The SEC specifically inquired into the wholesale accounts associated with a $685 million write-off taken in the third quarter for accounts deemed uncollectable from bankruptcies and litigation, according to the SEC letter posted on WorldCom's Web site.
WorldCom came under fire in January when it lent Ebbers money to keep him from selling millions of dollars of WorldCom stock after the rapidly falling share prices forced a margin call. Ebbers is the only WorldCom officer with an outstanding loan from the company, and it will not be necessary for him to sell his stock to cover his margins, he said. "I bought my stock in the company, and I regret that any shareholder lost money," he added.
WorldCom lost about half its market value in the space of six weeks as accounting scandals surrounding the Global Crossing Holdings and Enron bankruptcies engulfed Wall Street.

Feelings ran high at a heated public meeting to debate the proposal to build 970 homes off Legbourne Road.
Organised by Louth Town Council it was chaired by Coun Andrew Leonard and attended by around 80 people.
Coun Pauline Watson said unlike other towns Louth has no big place for all these people to work: "Where is the revenue earner? We haven't got one. You are going to have houses built and nowhere to employ them. We are not a commuter belt. We cannot sustain it from the jobs point of views. Who is going to be living there? It's quite serious."
John Jaines said: "We are looking at 900 plus houses. Every household has two vehicles, that is a minimum 2,000 vehicle movements a day on Legbourne Road, and mums with children will be around and about all the time.
"Since the district council changed the parking where are they going to park? The streets are cluttered.
"Wainfleet built social housing there and brought in problem families from Boston. We've got enough problems of our own.
"Do we want our town ruined by these little boxes?"
Coun Fabian Coonghe said: "The land comes down and very hard rain floods the area."
One man said: "The voice of the people is paramount. Louth struggled last year to place all children in primary education. I feel so strongly about this if East Lindsey District Council supports this proposal what triggers a vote of no confidence in the district council?"
Coun Watson replied to him: "If officers recommend it we can refuse. If we do refuse and it goes to appeal it costs you the rate payer."
She added: "I will fight for people. I'm not very happy about this."
Coun George Horton said: "It's time the people had their voice. We are ratepayers we have a right to fight for our homes. You have got to put forward genuine building objections.
"You imagine 900 homes, that is nigh on 2,000 people, the roads are narrow, where are the vehicles going to go? It's potentially 1,000 children, there's no education.
"I feel sure town councillors will back you all and refuse it. I suggest we form an action group. We fight our corner."
Coun Sarah Dodds said: "Once a decision has gone to appeal it is out of the district council's hands. It is incredibly frustrating. Residents get organised, collect evidence. Work on getting good planning reasons to refuse this."
John MacDonald, of MacDonald Engineering Services Ltd of Legbourne Road, was worried about his business if they did not get support. "We are going to be in the middle of the roundabout. They can flatten our workshop and we have nowhere to go. The rates on the industrial estate are too high. It looks like 10 to one our business will fold.
"Very often we have a job getting out of the yard onto Legbourne Road, the traffic is from Manby. If they have 1,000 houses the road is going to be horrific. It is a badly thought out plan. They will be that packed in. We urgently need to look at infrastructure before we start planting houses and making the job worse."
Coun Jill Makinson-Sanders said: "I think this will go to appeal. I think the district council might agree to this."
Other comments from the public included -
"Unless we want a lot more cars on the road it is absolutely ridiculous."
"The hospitals are not going to cope in this area. Secondary schools won't be able to cope."
"Flooding in Legbourne Road and Kenwick Road, what are they ging to do about that?"
"The school has 210 children, where are these children ging to have their recreation. There needs to be a bigger school."
"When it rains it floods. Any more houses and they will have to build an ark."
"Why so vast? It's almost a town. It is overwhelming."
"People did stick together when they were on about an eco town and people won on that. It will probably end up most of it social housing. We need to stick together. There are no jobs here, we have got no industry out here at all. It is more likely to be 4,000 to 5,000 people. Louth in 10 years time will disappear."
"It is pure specualtion. Outline planning does not have to be detailed. We do not know what we are dealing with. We should all stand up against this. It is going to alter our lives."
"They have moved undesirable families to Sandilands and it has ruined Sandilands. That is what is going to happen to Louth."
It was agreed to form an action group to object to the proposals.
The scheme will next be considered by Louth Town Council before East Lindsey District Council make a decision.

subamegaeshi = Aerial Ace
Listen for it.

Add me and tell me please.
What's surprising is that as Mukull was learning the attack at the start of the episode, it was using the same bullseye practice Swellow had when it learned Aerial Ace. Continuity!

Add me and tell me please.
At least the injuries were different.
They probably don't wanna take away Hikari's thunder by mentioning a past coordinator.
Marry the Night
You know, Swellow suffered from actual head damage with his Aerial Ace training, whereas Mukubird only suffered a hurt leg.
Well, Mukkuru didn't ran his head into the ground.
Anyway, I hope the Mukku's family affinity for a bit of self-damaging attacks comes into play.
Yeadh, so then we can all call him the first emo pokémon.

Nice to see an evolution in the series so soon! Really good. Hopefully it becomes a Muruhawk before the 7th gym.

It probably will. I imagine it'll evolve again between the 5th and 6th Gym.
Yeah I do too but he's not going to be good in the ice type gym, whatever they don't care about types anymore
Well, if i'm not mistaking, the Ice gym leader has a Yukikaburi and Yukinooh in the games, so probably as well in the anime. They are part Grass, so Mukkubird might make a chance.
I can't beileve Mukkuru evolve so fast.
Is a strategy to make him useful and to give Ash a Mukkuhawk. At least Starly was better than Taillow.
We saw Starly for like two episodes, how does that make it better than Taillow?
Let's say even, both sucked, both were useless
Taillow was shown to be pretty damn powerful, it just didn't do anything.
Starly (I love typing that!) was cute, and had slightly more personality...but didn;t show any noticeable strength.
Starly needed to evolve; the poor thing needs to showcase its potential at whooping some Pokemon butt. You just can't have a tiny bird that is only used instrumentally; it has power, too. ;_; I particularly loved the early evolution, it was surprisingly refreshing for the reason. Although, I will say that I am not fond of the fact that Ash has two normal-types, but I am hoping they will challenge his power as a trainer and give him that new dragon-type. That would be amazing...Ash to have a Gaburaisu. ;_; Not very possible, but the chance is still there. But anways, I'm proud of that Starly.
OMG, I love typing Starly, too. It just rolls off of my fingers or something. >.>;
Shiftry leapt into the air, shrieking and roaring as she started glowing and absorbing the suns light. Leaves shifted and curled at the edges as footsteps sounded on the grass. Her eyes were wide open and crazed, glazed with a white radiance. A slim, dark figure spontaneously crossed overhead, elegant and mysterious as it disappeared within the rose-colored vortex. It all seemed like a medieval fantasy; only reality blended in to make it all seem practical. The new otherworldly essence drifted in, allowing the illumination to bless the woman and reveal herself to the world. Karen had arrived
For me it was absolutely needed to evolve Starly (it is fun to type it). When I definitely like Starly better than Taillow but I don't like Swellow better than Mukkubird. Starly entertained me more because he was cuter and had more personality.

Allen clearly doesn't deserve any benefit of the doubt, but I didn't think it was that big of a deal. He's in mid air sacrificing his body to save the ball -- which is a pretty damn good hustle play in my book -- and he's off balance. Looks to me more like he's trying not to collide with the coach instead of trying to injure him.
I have never seen anyone who's first instinct is to push off when they are trying to stop themselves.
I $#@!ing LOVE to hate this cry-baby $#@!. He's the best thing to happen to Duke basketball and that rat-$#@! coach of theirs in a decade.
Clearly a push off and intentional.
Ive seen hundreds of players dive for balls out of bounds
Thats the FIRST time ive ever seen someone push someone down/push off someone. Period
Dude can't even go 1 game without pulling more questionable $#@!. Says enough.
Hard to look at that and not think it was intentional.
Definite intentional push. His hands should either be grabbing top of guys shoulder to brace the fall or back to the chair to brace his fall. But his natural instinct was clearly to push the guy rather than prevent from crashing through the chairs.
What a thunder $#@!. $#@! him.
Hate that $#@!er. He's a POS dirty player.
I can see that coach K's discipline program has had a profound effect. Obviously some real soul searching took place.
Watch the ACC suspend the UL player for that bitch slap.
Definitely shoved that coach. I'm not sure I've ever seen a player pull that one. Time for another indefinite suspension. They're playing an 0-10 team next I believe.....
He should have slapped him harder
Allen just dislocated his finger when he slammed it into a Miami player's face. Miami up 11 at half.
Everything's fixed now. Coach K invited the players to his house, then informed them that they're not allowed to wear Duke apparel anymore until they earn it.
It's so weird how Coach K has his back surgeries right before his teams are about to lose a ton of games. Just good luck, I guess.
Allen needs help. He's going to go postal in the Duke locker room before the season's out.
You make that sound like it's a bad thing.
I remember it like it was yesterday, Luke Witte was never the same.. Corky Taylor and Ron Behagan were thugs.. kicked him in the face after he was down... of course Grayson got a nice smack to the face a few games later as well... no call...
Called for a tripping foul today, but this was a standard foul and not an egregious bitch move. So for those who think it's only a witch hunt, well, nope.
He's using his arms instead of his legs and throwing elbows now. Doesn't he know how instant play works?
Never had instant play before. Always had to work for it.
I liked how he simultaneously threw an elbow and flopped (throwing his head back like he had been hit). What a bitch.
At this point his sub-par play and recurring attitude issues may have torpedoed his draft stock so much that he returns for his senior season. Not sure whether Duke should be happy about that, if it happens.
This dude is a dork. It'd be one thing if he was tearing it up. But he's not. He has 3 fouls today and 0 points. Also, 2 of his fouls were frustration fouls which led to free throws for Clemson. Then his technical after a foul led to an easy 4 points and got them back in the game. He adds very little to Duke at this point and is a meltdown waiting to happen the second something does not go his way. And usually hurts his team in the end.

GAME DAY: at Nashvilleby Rob Mixer / Columbus Blue Jackets
This is certainly one heck of a way to kick off the new NHL season, isn't it?
A compacted schedule and exclusively in-conference match-ups over the next 48 games were already factors in projecting an intense sprint to the Stanley Cup playoffs, but it doesn't appear that the Blue Jackets will waste any time in getting back in the swing of things. A familiar foe -- the Nashville Predators -- awaits in the season opener on Saturday night at Bridgestone Arena.
The Blue Jackets' struggles in that arena have been well-documented throughout the years and the coaches and players have heard about it in the weeks leading up to the season. As far as they're concerned, the page has been turned to a new chapter of Blue Jackets hockey and the slate is wiped clean.
When they arrive in Nashville, they'll be welcomed (well, maybe 'welcomed' isn't the appropriate term) by a Predators team that has undergone its fair share of changes over the offseason. Gone is top-pairing defenseman Ryan Suter, who was lured away from his only NHL home by the Minnesota Wild with a massive 13-year contract. Nashville nearly lost both of its top blueliners, as GM David Poile had to match a 14-year offer sheet that was extended to Shea Weber by the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Predators retained Weber, their captain and one of the best defensemen in hockey, and that will help their chances immensely in 2013. Coupled with mainstay Pekka Rinne in goal and Barry Trotz's consistency behind the bench, you can expect Nashville to get back to its traditional grind-it-out, tough-as-nails defensive style with everyone pitching in on the offensive end.
Seven players contributed at least 40 points for the Predators a season ago, including Suter with 46. Suter and Martin Erat led Nashville in assists with 39, while fourth-year forward Patric Hornqvist was the club's top goal scorer with 27. Most of Nashville's offense up front is back for 2013, but there's been some shuffling along the blue line after Suter's departure.
Nashville hopes 22-year-old Swiss defenseman Roman Josi can take a big step this year and play with Weber on the top pairing. It's a lofty expectation for a young player, but Josi was solid in his rookie year, putting up 16 points in 52 games with the Predators. Kevin Klein, Hal Gill, Ryan Ellis, and Jonathon Blum are also back this season, and free agent pickup Scott Hannan is likely to find his way into the mix, as well.
- RJ Umberger recorded three points (one goal, two assists) in three road games at Nashville last season.
- What a way for James Wisniewski to get his first goal as a Blue Jacket: he ended a 17-game (0-12-5) Columbus losing streak at Bridgestone Arena with an overtime winner on Nov. 19, 2011.
- This is the 12th season opener in Blue Jackets franchise history. In the previous 11, Columbus has compiled a record of 4-5-2 and is 3-2-1 in its last six openers. The Blue Jackets will play five games against Nashville this season, and are 19-39-11 all-time against their rivals from the Music City.
- Columbus is 2-4-0 all-time on Jan. 19.
- Nine of the Blue Jackets' previous 11 season openers have been decided by one goal or less, and three of those games have gone to overtime or a shootout.
This is a guy that Nashville is looking to for a big year, building off a strong 2011-12 season in which he compiled 15 goals and 35 points. Poile rewarded Wilson with a new three-year contract in the off-season and he's going to get every opportunity to lock down a spot in the top six. He bounced around the lineup a bit last year, but the Predators hope he finds some consistency in his game and makes his fourth NHL season his best yet.

text: Hello All, I have always been interested in photography since I was little kid. I would sneak my dad's Pentax SLR out of the house, and take photos with it. When he would get the film developed he would say "I don't remember taking that picture." I was always eager to see how they came out. Finally as an adult I purchased my first Canon EOS Elan II 35mm camera, and starting taking photos. My favorite things to photograph are old cars, motorcycles, and my family. Brian

BANGOR, Maine — In a world awash with concern about climate change and a country embroiled in a debate about its energy policy, retired U.S. Navy Vice Adm. Dennis McGinn says he and others in his organization bring an important component to the conversation.
"With all due humility, we bring credibility," said McGinn, vice chairman of the CNA Military Advisory Board, an energy and climate change think tank composed of retired officers from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines.
The advisory board has written and released two reports for a nonprofit research organization in Alexandria, Va., called CNA. The reports examined the issues of climate change and U.S. energy policy from the perspective of their threats to national security.
McGinn, who visited with the Bangor Daily News Editorial Board on Thursday during a speaking tour through Maine, said the country's reliance on oil — about 97 percent of which comes from foreign countries — puts it at risk of social and economic disaster on par with some of the world's worst calamities. Some of those risks have become reality, such as the British Petroleum oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, which is spewing millions of gallons of oil into the ocean and onto the shores of the Gulf Coast.
"BP isn't doing that stuff because no one wants to buy that oil," said McGinn, whose tour comes amid an intense debate in Congress over a controversial climate and energy bill. "Our addiction to oil is what's causing them to go ever more deeper and riskier."
Another Hurricane Katrina-scale storm or a successful attack on oil apparatus in the Middle East could cause an oil price spike that would spurn economic and social disaster across the United States and the world. Even the United States' ability to defend itself or conduct operations overseas are too dependent on oil, said McGinn, who estimated that at $2.50 gallon of oil for a Humvee in a remote part of Afghanistan costs the Department of Defense approximately $400 by the time it's transported under heavy guard to troops in the field.
"We are too dependent on convoys and fuel," said McGinn, who along with many other posts commanded the U.S. Navy's Third Fleet during his 35-year military career. "We are just tethered to our fuel lines and our need to protect the fuel."
That problem could be exacerbated if climate change causes some of the wide-scale catastrophes that many scientists — or as McGinn puts it, "every credible scientist and engineer" — predict.
"If you want to get a sense of what the future could be like, think about widespread crop failure in Mexico or Central America," he said. "That would mean a hell of a lot more mission for our military."
McGinn said the Military Advisory Board's role is to illustrate the problem, but that it's Congress' problem to solve. Asked what changes in energy policy could make a difference, he suggested "putting some sort of price" on carbon emissions.
The issue of carbon pricing and whom it would affect has been at the center of the debate over the congressional energy bill, and a touchstone of controversy in the overall debate about the prevalence of climate change.
McGinn said the country also needs to voice a clear commitment to developing alternative and renewable fuel sources, which he said would spark a multibillion-dollar flow of research-and-development money.
"We've got technology that is ready to go," he said. "What is lacking is policy passed by the United States Congress that creates market certainty."
McGinn said he recognizes that most people gauge the success or failure of the country's energy policy by the price they pay for gasoline or heating oil. But he suggested that's a faulty way to look at the problem because it ignores the other costs of our dependence on oil, such as pollution in the environment and impacts on our health.
"If you factor in the externalities, we are probably paying more like $7 or $8 a gallon," said McGinn. "We just don't know it, but those are very real dollars."

Taiwan Stocks Fall Most in Asia as LCD Shares Drop: Taipei Mover
Taiwan's shares fell the most among Asia's equity markets, led by the nation's biggest flat-panel companies.
Innolux Corp. (3481), the largest liquid-crystal display maker on the island, dropped 4.2 percent. AU Optronics Corp., the second biggest, declined 3.3 percent. Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd. decreased 1 percent.
The Taiex index retreated 0.6 percent to 7,760.40 at 11:47 a.m. local time, poised for the biggest drop since Dec. 21. The benchmark measure has gained 9.5 percent from its Nov. 21 low.
"There's some profit-taking after we rose for a while and the index is being dragged down by the LCD makers as well," said Sam Hsieh, a Taipei-based fund manager at Fuh Hwa Securities Investment Trust Co., who helps oversee the equivalent of $7.8 billion. "There are no new drivers so investors are taking a break. Still, the Taiex should gain this year as the global economy is recovering."
U.S. payrolls rose by 155,000 workers last month following a revised 161,000 advance in November, which was more than initially estimated. The median estimate of 82 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for an increase of 152,000.

Performance improvement (PI) across the continuum of trauma care is at the core of why the development of trauma centers and trauma systems has resulted in more saved lives. Identifying issues, shortcomings, poor outcomes, complications, lack of timeliness of care, incorrect care, and failure to adhere to established treatment guidelines and protocols is the essence of performance improvement. First, identify the issue and come up with a solution, then make sure the implementation of the solution results in the expected improvement.
Performance improvement in trauma care is poorly understood, yet it is crucial to trauma center development. Poorly executed or nonexistent PI is the main reason why trauma centers of all levels — I, II, III and IV — fail reverification or redesignation. That's why education in PI and sharing PI best practices is so important and why we have compiled the stories and updates for this newsletter.
We cannot rest on the success of today; we should not tolerate less than the best possible performance. On behalf of our injured patients, we must continue to strive to provide high-quality, safe, effective and timely care.

More RAAF Kingfisher Questions
August 5 2010 at 9:04 AM
David Edwards
from IP address 188.8.131.52
The build goes on and am stumped on a couple of issues.
With a bit of doubt over the colour of the squadron codes on the camouflaged scheme, I've gone for yet another aluminium finish. The Red Roo book says no upper wing roundels with a couple of photos showing this, the decal sheet says upper wing roundels?
The beaching gear seems to be a dark colour, maybe a dark grey? Wheel hibs in a shade of grey also?
A ring mounted machine gun is provided for the aft cockpit but I'm wondering if it would've been carried later in the war?
all suggestions welcome!

JOHN HUTCHINSON is on track to become the first player to complete a decade of service with the Central Coast Mariners after agreeing to a contract extension until 2015.
The 33-year-old joined the Gosford club upon their entry into the A-League in 2005 after a decade in the National Soccer League, first with home-town club Morwell Falcons, then with Northern Spirit.
His time with the Mariners was broken only by a four-month loan spell in 2011. That was with their sister club, Chinese side Chengdu Blades, then under the guidance of inaugural Mariners coach Lawrie McKinna.
After looking as though his career might be wound up by the emergence of several brilliant youngsters at Central Coast, Hutchinson - who played his early career as an attacking left-winger - reinvented himself as a holding midfielder in the past two seasons, effectively filling the hole left by Rostyn Griffiths.
The club will commemorate his decade at Bluetongue Stadium with a testimonial match to be played before the next A-League season.
''It would be good if that happened and if it does I'd like a lot of people to come back and celebrate the day with me,'' Hutchinson said. ''There's been a lot of people who have been around the club for a long time as well, and they've all helped contribute to the success that we've had.''
Despite having played in three grand finals without tasting the ultimate success, Hutchinson is proud of topping the table twice with the Mariners. Coach Graham Arnold, widely credited with transforming and extending Hutchinson's career, said the Maltese international was the kind of player you could build a club around. '''Hutch' … is one of the true servants of the club,'' Arnold said.
■ Brisbane Roar captain Matt Smith will miss the rest of the season after hip surgery. He will be out for up to four months. "I am bitterly disappointed to be out for the rest of the season," Smith said.

Going Commando with Naked FeetBarefoot walking has been receiving a lot of press of late due to its excellent benefits for the health. Of course it all started many millennia ago and was an instant success, which had everyone doing it. Somewhere along the line, around 6000 years ago everyone was hell bent on wearing shoes to take away the disadvantages of barefoot movement. Scientists, professors and foot specialists are now all singing the praises of going barefoot. Every fitness shoe manufacturer worth their salt is producing a range of shoes to simulate going barefoot. The majority of toning shoes offer a barefoot walk in soft sand approach to exercise, and reproduce the benefits. The journalNaturehas recently published a study on barefoot walking and how this really benefits not only the feet, but the joints, the legs and the lower back. In shoe design labs the world over, treadmills have been taken over by barefoot runners as their scientists try to determine how better to serve the feet. It would appear that evolution has developed the foot into a perfect shock absorber, and getting a more natural movement back into walking healthy, invigorating and brings more muscles into play, strengthening the feet and legs. Benefitting from barefoot walkingThe rise in joint problems, bunions, hammertoe conditions, and painful feetcan all be attributed to wearing inappropriate footwear in many cases, and if we were all going barefoot many health problems related to the feet would see their prevalence dramatically fall. Athlete's foot and fungal infections would not have the moist environment to proliferate and the feet would be a lot better off. The change in gait which results from running barefoot sees the foot land flatter, which lessens the stress on the heel and prevents jarring of the foot, ankle, knees, hips and lower back. Barefoot is as nature intended, and lets face facts, evolution is rather good at getting the body to perfection and it had walking licked pretty early on. The foot arches are the perfect shock absorber for the body, however they need to be used correctly and it is something that we have all forgotten whilst we have been in full shod comfort. To get a better understanding of the benefits of barefoot walking, be sure to have a look at the video below when you have 5 minutes spare. Its gives a great explanation of how the body is much better off barefoot. The Bare Facts of Barefoot walking and running The problems and health dangers of barefoot walkingIt would not be ethical of me not to warn you all of the dangers of barefoot walking, which the video fails to cover. The aim of this hub is to give a balanced point of view, so here are the dangers of leaving the shoes at home. Glass Stones ExcrementPeople wearing shoes Gravel Hot tarmac Wet weather gripI don't need to dwell, as they are pretty self explanatory. But how can one benefit from the natural way of walking whilst gaining some protection from theVibram Five FingersThe answer has been found by Vibram who have made Pirelli tyres for the feet which feature a separate lobe for each toe. They would have been laughed out of Dragons Den, however Pirelli invested quite a large sum in Vibram and their latest line of footwear is just that. Vibram rubber has been developed into one of the highest quality materials available for grip and durability. It is almost universally used on the outsoles of the major outdoor performance footwear brands. But when it came to producing their own line of shoes, Vibram quite literally threw away the mould. Naturally they started from the ground up. They had the grip sorted already so all they needed was a suitable upper. They ended up with something rather more foot like than standard shoes with an upper which is little more than a convenient way of keeping their rubber firmly fixed to your feet. The shoes are called Vibram Five Fingers, and you are unlikely to find a more comfortable shoe on the market. Vibram Five Fingers Gloves for the feetThey were TIME magazines best invention of 2007 for preserving the full benefits of natural barefoot walking and running whilst offering extra protection and grip. They are terrific for water sports and give extra traction, as the toes can be utilised more. They help to improve balance and give an added degree of cushioning and will instantly give you grippy feet. There are few better shoes for Crossfit training on the market. Won't all that rubber take away the natural feeling of walking? It does a little, but in a good way. There are a great many benefits to a little walking protection. You can walk for longer, you have better traction when walking in the wet, and you are less likely to get a walking injury. Besides you don't have to wear them all the time and can still go commando and walk as nature intended when the mood takes you. If you want to have a bit more cushioning, or don't think they will go with your new outfit then there are Skechers Shape ups, Reebok Easytone Shoes and Fitflops sandals which all offer a little more padding and support and are far less likely to freak people out. However if you want the full benefits of barefoot walking, with a little extra grip and protection, then it has to be Vibram Five Fingers.

For example, if you are working high off the ground on a roof, scaffolding or other high structure, you will need a safety harness to catch you if you fall. Then, safety glasses are important if you are working with anything that could get into your eye and cause harm. Finally, safety shoes are important when working around heavy objects that could fall on your feet or when sharp objects litter the ground. There are some working environments that call for all of these safety measures to be in place at the same time. Here are some specific situations that call for each of these in the workplace. First, a safety harness has the potential to save your life and greatly reduce injury when utilized in high places. There are various styles of safety harnesses, but all of them accomplish the same task, which is to catch you if you slip and fall off a high surface you are working from or to suspend you in the air so a certain task can be accomplished. Specific occupations that typically require workers to wear safety harnesses include roofers, construction workers, crane operators, linemen, rock climbers, scaffold workers, and window washers. In some cases, like the window washer, the safety harness is imperative for the job to even be possible. Next, safety glasses are often imperative in various fields of work. Construction sites and carpentry shops often come to mind first because goggles are required to keep debris from getting in the workers' eyes. Chemistry labs and other scientific applications often require participants to don this eyewear to prevent chemical splashes from all angles. If you ordinarily wear glasses, you will be eager to learn that prescription glasses for safety purposes can be purchased as well. If your occupation calls for you to wear safety glasses every day, it may be worth it to buy prescription glasses that you can wear at your job. Finally, there are safety shoes which are often worn by construction workers and those working around heavy objects. The most common type of safety shoe features steel in the toe and sole of the shoe. This provides maximum protection against heavy falling objects and sharp shrapnel on the ground. By wearing a combination of a safety harness, safety glasses, and safety shoes, you will be ready to work with optimal protection in whatever environment you are in. Air Jordan 5 Retro Tokyo23,By Wayne Veysey Even by Manchester City standards, it has been a chaotic few weeks. A season long title challenge had almost died a painful death before being given a midweek kiss of life by Wigan Athletic. Rumours of dressing room unrest are rife while Roberto Mancini future could hinge on the final five results of a campaign that promised so much but might eventually deliver nothing. Behind the scenes the club is also a hive of activity. It is understood that technical director Mike Rigg, who resigned eight days ago, will join QPR at the end of the season to head up the London club recruitment team and overhaul their scouting strategy. Rigg will re establish a relationship with Mark Hughes, who brought him to City in 2008 after they worked in tandem at Blackburn Rovers. It is likely that Rigg anticipated the wind of change. The restructure of the high command has been complicated by events at Spanair, the airline that Soriano chairs. Nevertheless, Rigg departure next month opens up two senior roles which are crucial to the club summer transfer market strategy. The chief executive post has been vacant since Garry Cook resigned last September following an embarrassing email leak, although it has been filled on a temporary basis since then by John MacBeath. Unless there has been a re think from City Abu Dhabi owners, Soriano and Begiristain would appear to be direct replacements for Cook and Rigg. Both are well connected, have wide experience of football corridors of powers and played central roles in Barcelona rise into the most successful and second highest earning in the world. It would be regarded as a huge statement by City if Abu Dhabi give the green light to the former Barcelona pair as a leading Premier League club has never before been run by executives with impeccable European credentials. The review of City operations emanates from the club powerbrokers and is believed to be independent of the near collapse of the team title bid. Rigg is one of the five members of the club transfer review panel, which is headed by chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak and also includes manager Mancini, his No.2 David Platt and Brian Marwood, the most senior football administrator at the club. Questions have been asked at the top of the club about City recruitment strategy. Rigg took credit for lining up Vincent Kompany and Nigel de Jong but he was also heavily involved in hiring Mario Balotelli, Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov, who have all enjoyed only modest success. There are whispers in the corridors of the Etihad Stadium that Marwood, Cook close ally from their Nike days and a key figure in one of the most lavish recruitment drives in football history over the last three years, is now vulnerable. Marwood experience of football business was crucial to getting the Abu Dhabi project off the ground at a time when the powerbrokers were on a steep learning curve but his role has been squeezed since Cook departure. He is also believed to have a strained working relationship with Mancini, with the pair frequently at odds over how to refurbish the playing squad while satisfying the requirements of Uefa financial fair play regulations. Although Marwood sat alongside Mancini on the recent Eden Hazard scouting mission, his role is mainly restricted to opening dialogue with other clubs over potential targets rather than cherry picking players or finalising deals. The monies for all the major transfers have to be sanctioned by Al Mubarak. The commercial and marketing departments could also be restructured as City attempt to generate greater revenues. Whether the management team suffer the same fate remains to be seen. Mancini position will be dictated not only by the final five matches of the season but the availability of Jose Mourinho, who is regarded by the club top brass as the stand out candidate to replace the Italian should he be deemed to have failed. Borussia Dortmund Jurgen Klopp has also attracted attention in Abu Dhabi for his achievement in leading the club to the verge of a second consecutive Bundesliga title. At the moment the signs are that it is business as usual for Mancini and his backroom team. Platt flew out to Portugal earlier this week to scout Benfica duo Javi Garcia and Axel Witsel, while Mancini is in regular contact with the club high command about summer incomings and outgoings.
Free Shipping And Best Service Air Jordan 5 Retro Tokyo23,Air Jordan 10 Doernbecher First one is sport/comfortable shoes. They are for running, shopping etc. For all the cases when comfortablefootwear are necessary. Of course some women must need more than one pair of sport shoes. For example, you can't run outside with the same shoes you are going to the gym. Than goes shoes which are used for going to the work, for some formal situations. Lets call them formal shoes. It should be something simple, something that not pops up too much. And again lots of women needs more that one pair of those shoes. Next to the formal shoes goes something similar but with some accents and again it is for weekdays. We can call them informal shoes. For example, for going to some caf, to some club etc. And I guess I don't need to say that more than one pair is for the best. Between all these life situations we have parties too. So I guess for those events extra shoes are more than necessary. Every women need party shoes. Of course I could put them in the previous category but I fell that parties need to be separate as I include here graduations, theatres etc. And we all know that parties and events are so many and so different, so again women need more that one pair of party shoes. Till now I can count 4 categories of shoes but thats not all. In some countries we have that kind of seasons like winter and autumn. And if the weather is not warm all the time lots of women need boots. And those are different too the short ones, the long ones etc. This category we can call so simple as boots. And as the last one I want to mention rubber boots. It is not the obligation to have a pair of these but in rainy areas it could be the privilege. So which one of you could count how many shoes does the average woman need? In my calculation there is 5 6 categories and in every category is more that one pair of shoes. So the minimum could be 10. And of course it is possible that I forgot something. If you can suggest different kinds of shoes please let me know.
