Cummings, Smith progress pleases Millwall boss
SHAUN Cummings could play a full 90 minutes against Nottingham Forest U23s at The Den next Monday as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.
The 27-year-old-defender, who hasn't featured for the senior team since February, played 45 minutes for Justin Skinner's side against Birmingham on Monday, but Neil Harris insisted there is no rush to get him back into the first-team fold.
"He came through fine," Harris said. "He's had a long road to recovery and has been an outstanding professional during that period of time.
"His life's been turned upside-down with a new baby so he's had major changes to his life.
"It'll be great having him back in the side but he certainly won't be rushed. It's a long process, he played 45 minutes Monday night and he'll play again against Nottingham Forest at The Den.
"We'll look at building him up minutes-wise and he needs to play 90 minutes with the U23s before he's considered for a return to the first team."
Millwall drew 2-2 on Monday night, with Harry Smith netting his third goal in four games, and Harris is pleased with his progress.
Harris said: "Lads that play in the 23s are there to develop for different reasons, either they're youngsters coming through or they've come from the non-league like Harry.
"It's a great opportunity for boys to get minutes and progress. We think Harry has got some excellent attributes to be a good Millwall player.
"We all appreciate as does Harry that it's going to take a little bit of time to hopefully realise his potential for the club. But he's certainly had a good start so far with three goals in four games."

Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Real Betis started this season as the underdog against Villarreal and managed to win a point while Real Madrid completely failed against Sporting Gijon with a 0-0 draw. With the huge pressure of the club and the media its important for Rafa Benitez to set a streak of good results in order to show the criticizers he's the man for the job. The defense of Real Betis will be under high pressure against Real Madrid which will be motivated to revenge their poor performance of last week. Madrid will need some new signings if they want to play a role in the Champions League.
Highlighted Player (Cristiano Ronaldo):
Cristiano Ronaldo is considered one of the world's best football players. The Portuguese ace was born on 5 February, 1985 in Funchal, Madeira and he played for the likes of Andorinha, Nacional and Sporting during his youth career. CR7 made his Sporting debut in Primeira Liga on 7 October, 2002, scoring two goals in a 3-0 win over Moreirense.
Manchester United scouts spotted him and one year later he joined the Old Trafford outfit. Ronaldo became the most expensive teenager in the history of the Premier League and he received the number 7 shirt. He quickly established himself as the team's key player and it has to be noted that he won three consecutive Premier League trophies with the Red Devils (2006/2007, 2007/2008, 2008/2009). In 2008 he helped the Old Trafford outfit beat Chelsea in the Champions League final, scoring for Alex Ferguson's troops in the regular time.
Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2009 and he helped the Spanish giants with two Champions League trophies. In 2016 he won the European Championship trophy with Portugal. The Real Madrid ace has two Golden Ball awards (2013, 2014).

Bank Accounts
There are commonalities among banks but there are also differences. The terms and conditions of the account types vary from bank to bank. There are also differences in services offered and hours of operation. You need to consider what you need from a bank before you select one.
There are a number of specific types of bank accounts. For example there is a low cost bank account that costs a maximum of four dollars a month with specific services and limitations. There are personal banks accounts which can be held with a financial institution that enables you to do your daily financial transactions such as pay bills, etc. These can be savings, chequing or combination accounts. Make certain that you research the right type of account for you and pick a financial institution that suits your needs.
Examine the features of the account and get only the services that you need. Check the fees that are charged and the banking hours. Confirm the interest rates being offered. Having done these things you will have a good idea of the type and location of the account that would be best for you. There are some tools to help you select the account which is right for you.
Some people have as many as five bank accounts. They most likely maintain a chequing account where their money is deposited and then allocate their money to other accounts such as a savings account, an emergency savings account, an RRSP and an account for holidays and gifts etc. The number of accounts you have is dependent upon your needs and situation.
Keep track of how many transactions you make so you don't go over the set limit. Often, you can get lower rates if you only use bank machines and do not deal directly with bank staff. Only use the services you need. For example, do not pay for receiving copies of the cashed cheques you wrote unless you need this as there will likely be a service charge. Watch your account balance. In many cases if you maintain a minimum balance the bank will not charge a monthly administrative fee.

I'd like to preface this post by saying that Americans are all wrong about food. All of our individually-packaged, single-order meals create a society that's all about selfish eating (this one is mine and that one is yours). We even have individually-wrapped cheese! "Family-style" is a generally associated with eating at home or hokey, themed restaurants. But we're wrong, food shouldn't be hoarded, it should be shared down to the last bite.
While the real Marrakech Express refers to the train Graham Nash (of Crosby, Stills, and Nash) took from Casablanca to Marrakech, Morocco, my travel buddy and fellow American student abroad ordained our 13-hour train ride from Marrakech to Rabat The Marrakech Express. They say it's more about the journey than the destination and in this case, it was. (Rabat wasn't all it was cracked up to be.)
There were three of us in the train car at first: me and my two friends who were also studying abroad in Belgium. After a few minutes, a middle-aged man dressed in a suit sat in the seat opposite us, followed by a 20-something man who spoke some English. Just before the train started, a little old lady, dressed in traditional Moroccan clothing waddled in. and sat beside my friend, Sean. We were all packed into the car like sardines. I remember the little old lady falling asleep on my friend, Lizzy's shoulder.
The little old lady didn't speak any English. She spoke Berber, the native tongue of the Moroccan people. But that didn't stop her from trying to communicate. She took out a block of cheese from her bag, broke off a chunk then started passing it around. It went around once and everyone took a small hunk – but that wasn't good enough for her. She passed it around, wanting everyone to enjoy the stinky, salty cheese until it was gone. She even refused to take it back, leaving my friend, Sean, with a piece of cheese too big for one person to eat.
The businessman went to the food car to buy a sandwich (it was around lunchtime) and even though a sandwich would have been just enough food for a burly man like himself, he offered it to the rest of the car before taking a bite. Naturally we declined, but I was so taken by the spirit of sharing food that I took out the kilo of dates that I had bought at Place d'Jemma el-Fna. I originally intended on keeping the dates as a snack for my friends and me to eat in Rabat, but when my cultural fence was torn down by my fellow train riders, I didn't care anymore.
After visiting other countries later on, I realized this cultural phenomenon wasn't just special to Morocco. Food is something that should be shared not hoarded. Why wouldn't you want someone to taste that homemade spaghetti Bolognese or French macaron you have? Since then, I've tried to be more generous with what's on my plate, or in my oven. But, once in awhile I just want to eat my entire bagel with peanut butter all by myself.
Alexia Detweiler is a graduate of Penn State University. In the spring of 2009 she studied abroad in Brussels and ate the best frites she's ever had there.
Originally posted on Tuesday, July 10th, 2012
I realize now that when I'm sitting next to a stranger on the train or airplane, and they offer me food, I almost always decline. The gesture, to me, seems so absurd especially in America, where you taught very early on not to even talk to strangers. However I do notice how I am so willing to pass around my plate when I go out to dinner. So why should it be any different when you're sitting next to someone one a plane for nine hours?

It's hard to avoid hearing about what's going on with our neighbours to the south. I went to my local coffee shop this morning, and almost every single person was talking about it. I was in line at the grocery store and my cashier struck up a conversation with me about it. She told me how Robert de Niro compared the situation to Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver, and how he ominously concluded with, "God help us."
With all that's going on, aside from genuine hugs from my little ones, I'm finding great comfort in baking. Baking for me is an outlet on many fronts. It can be a hobby, a challenge, a sweet sin, but more profoundly, it's therapeutic. There's a great deal of comfort in baking. The predictability and formulaic nature of mixing solids and liquids, applying heat, measuring quantities and time – provides a tangible sense of certainty – sometimes when there seems to be no method to the madness or certainty anywhere else in the world. On an emotional level, baking fills the house with a blanket of wonderful aromas, rich with sweetness and the TLC that went into making it. The best part is then sharing your creation and watching those you love, revel in that sweet splendour.
Of course baking a cake won't solve the world's problems. But it can definitely be a comfort, to huddle as a family together and indulge in some things in life that are still sweet.

Alec Baldwin, N.Y. Post photographer file harassment claims
New York City police are investigating harassment complaints made by actor Alec Baldwin and a New York Post photographer after an altercation.
According to police, photographer G.N. Miller says the former "30 Rock" star yelled racial epithets and other insults when he was trying to take pictures of the actor outside his Manhattan apartment. Baldwin maintains he hollered at the photographer, but never said anything racist. He called the allegations "outrageous."
The New York Post has weighed in on the story, claiming that Baldwin referred to the photographer as a "crackhead" and a "drug dealer," among other things.
Following the altercation, Baldwin took to Twitter to post claims there is an audio recording proving he did not use racist or threatening language during the incident.
Baldwin called police and filed a harassment complaint Monday after the incident. The photographer later filed a cross-complaint.
The police department's Hate Crimes Task force was looking into the allegations.

Your child's inner ears may be damaged if he or she is around extremely loud noises or around loud noises for long periods of time. This is called noise-induced hearing loss.
One way of describing noise is by decibels.
Level of safety
Decibels (Approximate)
Type of noise
Permanent hearing loss may happen
Fireworks within 3 feet, guns, jet engine
Jet plane, siren, jackhammer
Personal music player set at loudest level, chain saw, radio-controlled airplane
Gradual hearing loss may happen over time
Subway, motorcycle
Kitchen appliances
Normal conversation
Loud noises can damage the hair cells in the inner ear and the hearing nerve. This is called sensorineural hearing loss or nerve deafness. Sensorineural hearing loss also has many other causes.
Hearing loss from loud noises may happen right away or slowly over a period of years. It may be permanent or temporary.
Your child may be around loud noise anywhere. Examples of noises that can cause hearing loss include:
Having trouble hearing is the main symptom of noise-induced hearing loss. Your child may have the following:
Your child's healthcare provider will ask question about your child's hearing. He or she will examine your child, paying close attention to the ears. Your child may be referred to a specialist for hearing testing.
Hearing testing is usually done by an audiologist or an ENT. An ENT is a specialist who treats problems with the ears, nose, and throat.
Once the hearing nerve is damaged, it is permanent. Treatment may include:
Permanent hearing loss is the most serious complication of noise-induced hearing loss. Regularly being around loud noise can also cause:
You and your children should use earplugs or muffs when you know you will be around loud noise. Earplugs fit into the outer ear. Earmuffs fit over the entire outside of the ear. Both help prevent hearing loss. Other things to do include:
Noise-induced hearing loss is permanent. To protect your child's hearing from further damage and to help your child manage hearing loss:

Monster Turtle Species That Survived 50,000 Years Lasted Just 200 Years After It Met Humans
Image of Meiolania platyceps, a relative of the newly discovered species, by Australian National Museum via Wired.
Hollywood isn't the only place where people and prehistoric creatures met: Just 3,000 years ago (a relative blink of an eye), humans on the small Pacific island of Vanuatu were still encountering half-ton turtles with armored club tails and horned heads, a species until recently thought to have gone extinct 50,000 years in the past. Things didn't go well for the turtles from there."In Australia, these turtles survived from the time of dinosaurs, through the Pleistocene. Then humans arrived. And then there weren't turtles anymore. I'd have thought humans had something to do with it, but there was no evidence," paleontologist Trevor Worthy of Australia's University of New South Wales told Wired.
Tens of Thousands of Giant Turtles Once Lived on Vanuatu
The bizarre-looking giant land turtles were not known to have survived into the presence of humans until the bones of a newly discovered species of the meiolaniid family -- a group of "walking fortresses" that included the 11-foot-long Stupendemys in South America -- were found in a 3,000-year-old archaeological site on Vanuatu:
The bones of the newly discovered species, named Meiolania damelipi and described Aug. 16 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, tell a clear story. They were found in a mound of animal bones discarded near a village of Lapita, a seafaring culture that 3,500 years ago spread east across Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia. The bottom layer of the garbage pile, dated to 3,000 years ago, had many meiolaniid bones. The top layer, dated to 2,800 years ago, had none.
According to Worthy's estimate, the island of Vanuatu alone could have supported tens of thousands of giant turtles, all of which were wiped out by hunting, habitat destruction, and egg-eating invasive species, courtesy of the new human residents. Other Pacific islands, where 30 percent to 50 percent of all animal species were lost post-people, likely witnessed the same pattern.
In his comments to Wired, Worthy was not optimistic that the new discovery would make a difference in human behavior. "I would have thought the lessons would have been learned already," he said. "But people seem to be kind of slow catching on."
The Lapitans didn't get the last laugh either: Their culture seems to have vanished as well.

Penguins are a group of aquatic, flightless birds living almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere, especially in Antarctica. Highly adapted for life in the water, penguins have counter shaded dark and white plumage, and their wings have evolved into flippers. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and other forms of sea life caught while swimming underwater. They spend about half of their lives on land and half in the oceans.

Off-leash walks at Guides Canins in St-Lazare allow dogs to run in a pack through the trails at the training facility on Tuesdays and Saturdays afternoons.
St-Lazare-based guided off-leash walks an active alternative for dogs
Twice a week, rain or shine, a pack of up to 30 dogs runs free through the woods alongside their owners at Guides Canins, a dog training centre in St-Lazare located among 76 acres of mixed forest.
Chelsea Du Jardin, an event planner and trainer at Guides Canins, said the hour-long walks are a great way to socialize dogs and practice recall.
"If you are in a group of dogs and they take off after a squirrel you are almost always assured they will come back," said Du Jardin. While the 5km trail network is not fenced, she said the trails are set far back from the road.
According to Geneviève Lachance, who has taken her 10-month-old "chug" (a chihuhua/pug mix) on the walks, the guided off-leash trail walks offer a unique alternative to city dog parks for energetic and social dogs.
"It's insane. The dogs are running everywhere and jumping on each other and playing and walking. It's crazy," said Lachance. "Everybody needs a nap after, including the humans."
Lachance said that although it may feel chaotic, there is a structure to the walks. While the dogs are free to run and play with each other, they always stay with their human. "Everyone looks out for each other's dog to make sure they don't take off, hurt each other, or leave poop behind," she said.
Trail access is free for those who are enrolled in classes at Guides Canins, and $5 per day for drop-in visitors. Monthly and annual passes are also available. The year-round guided group walks are on Tuesdays at 2 p.m. and Saturdays at 4 p.m., and are cancelled only in the event of extreme bad weather. Pet owners can choose whether to walk dogs on- or off-leash. Dog owners are also welcome to enjoy self-guided trail walks during daylight hours.
The trails are also used for canicross, bikejoring and skijoring, sports that involve running, cycling or skiing behind a harnessed dog.
In addition to the trails, Guides Canins offers dog boarding, grooming, agility classes, training workshops and other activities for dog-lovers. Upcoming events at the centre include a week-long agility competition from May 13 to 28, featuring obedience, traction sports, frisbee, rat sports and scent detection, and a dog breeding seminar on July 1-2. In June, Guides Canins will host a provincial dog agility competition at the Complexe Sportif St-Lazare.
"Our mission is really to create a better relationship between the human and their four-legged friends," Du Jardin said.
Guides Canins is located at 1200A Montée Poirier in St-Lazare. For more information on the group walks or other upcoming events, visit guidescanin.com or call 450-424-1469.

What's the difference between 3, 4, and 5 -star hotels?
We usually arrange centrally-located and Western-standard hotels. Five-star hotels are usually palatial with huge lobbies and comfortable rooms, their standards not quite matching the best of Paris or New York, but very close. Four-star hotels have quality facilities, but not as luxurious as five-star hotels. Three-star hotels meet the needs of most Westerners, but breakfasts have less choice. We also recommend some courtyard hotels or Vietnamese-style hotels with local features and architecture. These hotels have a good ranking, or positive feedback from our customers, and TripAdvisor. Usually, hotels in big cities, small cities, and rural areas are a bit different, even if they have the same star level. We try to use the best available hotel in each place.
Passport & Visa Requirements
You may be required for visa to Vietnam. Please check the list of countries which need visa to Vietnam in this links: Who need visa to Vietnam? Vietnam Visa is issued by Vietnam Embassy in your country or "Visa on arrival". Travel Sense Asia will offer free visa to Vietnam for you (except some difficult countries). You will need one clear page (per visa) in a full passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of your departure from Vietnam.
Currency Exchange
As currency exchange rates in Vietnam fluctuate, we suggest you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com or www.vietcombank.com In 2015 the USD & VND has been around 22.500VND per USD. There are many ATM machines that accept both Visa and Master card, but these are limited to cities. We also recommend the use of cash and travelers checks in USD currency. Major credit cards are accepted in most shops, but they may charge a 2–4% transaction fee.
It is customary to tip service providers in the travel industry in Asia, depending on the service. Tipping is expected — though not compulsory — and shows an expression of satisfaction with the people who have assisted you on your tour. Recommendations for tipping drivers (3 USD per person per day as a guideline) and local guides (8 USD per person per day as a guideline) would depend on the quality and length of the service. In additionally, you will sometimes use rolling boat, cyclo riding, porter which you should give a small tip to these local people.
Eating is an important part of your Vietnam experience. Generally, breakfasts are included in the itinerary and offered by hotels. Travel Sense Asia recommend local Vietnam restaurants that are popular with local people for lunch. You can order dishes with the help of your guide. We usually leave dinner for your own choice — Western food can be found in most large cities. If you are vegetarian or you are looking for e.g. halal food, please feel free to inform your travel advisor, who can arrange a restaurant to fit your needs.
We use comfortable sedans or vans with air-conditioning. The comfort and safety of our customers is of utmost importance, so we ensure that all of the vehicles that we use are well maintained and always very clean. Our drivers take pride in their vehicles. Our car and van are always available space for a comfortable trip. Luggage – All clients are limited to two items of luggage each; a suitcase with a maximum weight of 20kg and one piece of hand luggage with a maximum weight of 7kg. It is essential that your luggage is lockable. Please note that authorities will only allow bottles onto the aircraft if they have been checked in as main baggage. Bottles in hand luggage may be confiscated.
In Vietnam the standard voltage is 220 V. The standard frequency is 50 Hz. The power sockets that are used are of type A / C / G. Below you find pictures of these power sockets and corresponding plugs. And we provide more information about the voltage and frequency. Climate – You will find a complete packing list and a helpful climate chart in the 'Suggested Packing List', which is included in the pre-departure information link sent within your deposit documentation. Seasonal weather patterns can be quite unpredictable. Up to the minute information on worldwide weather can be found on www.weather.com.

One of the key attractions of FHA home mortgage financing is going, going, but not quite gone. Sellers and buyers who move fast can still make the most of it.
One of the key attractions of FHA home mortgage financing is going, going, but not quite gone. Sellers and buyers who move fast can still make the most of it.
Sometime in the summer, the Federal Housing Administration plans to slash maximum seller concessions from 6 percent of the home price to 3 percent.
Seller concession rules allow buyers to look to the property seller to pay for services and taxes connected with the transaction � loan origination and local transfer fees, appraisals, inspections, closing and escrow costs among others � though not the down payment.
When FHA officials announced the policy change this year, they said the long-standing 6 percent maximum �exposes the FHA to excess risk by creating incentives to inflate appraised value.� That would occur when sellers agree to pay buyers� closing and other expenses but merely tack those costs onto the final sale price of the house.
If an appraiser didn�t detect and report the price boost, FHA would effectively be insuring a mortgage on a house worth less than the sale price. In fact, because the rules allowed a 6percent seller concession and the down payment was just 3.5percent, FHA would be insuring an underwater loan from the start.
To limit further possible losses, FHA decided to cut the concessions limit in half. The agency said the change would occur in early summer after publication of a Federal Register notice and a public comment period. But Lemar C. Wooley, an FHA spokesman, confirmed on May 19 that there has been no Federal Register announcement.
Because public comment periods frequently run for 60 days followed by a review period, it appears that any start date for the concessions change has slipped to late summer at the earliest.
Why does the timing matter? Whatever you might think of the FHA�s existing seller concession rules, the fact remains: Concessions of 6percent are still allowed and will be until the FHA announces they�re not.
Buyers and sellers who have a legitimate need to build concessions into their contracts can still do so, but they need to know that the clock is ticking.
Smart real-estate agents and mortgage loan officers already are putting out the word: If a home sale deal needs the 6 percent FHA feature, get the contract put together as fast as possible.
Paul Skeens, president of Colonial Mortgage Group in Waldorf, Md., said he is advising loan applicants to request a �good-faith estimate� upfront that provides for the seller to pay 100percent of closing costs and prepaid fees �so that in cases where the buyer doesn�t have much more than the down payment, that�s the only cash they�ll need to close� on an FHA loan prior to the change.
Skeens said he would prefer that FHA adopt a �sliding scale� approach to concessions, with higher concessions allowed on lower-priced homes, and the lowest concessions allowed on high-priced properties.
Because closing and loan expenses generally represent a larger percentage of the total transaction on lower-priced houses, he thinks the new 3 percent rule across the board �will have a much heavier impact on the people FHA traditionally has served,� who are buying modest-priced houses and have limited cash resources.

Just a month ago I was poking fun at the Japanese for their particularity and coded rules, their rigidity and obsession with tradition. Now, after the tsunami, I am an in awe of the grace the Japanese have brought to a horrific situation. Their sense of collective duty, stoicism, and bravery in facing their future has floored me.
If a similar event happened here, there would have been riots in the donut aisle the second they ran out of Boston Creams.
Maybe there's something to be said for standing in line and stoicism. For looking at oneself as a people, rather than as a collection of warring subcultures.
My deepest bow to the country of Japan and its people.
American coverage of the event has ranged from self-obsession with people tracking wind patterns to to see what minute degrees of radiation might make it across the water–hint: not as much as people are actually dealing with in reality somewhere else–to obtuse and ridiculous..
uh… yes?

Right-wing paranoia
Dear Editor:
Obama wins. That surprised a lot of people, apparently including many significant Republicans who predicted a large victory by Romney. Some said that the "Frankenstorm" kept the vote down. But that is what Republicans were already doing in Democratic-leaning districts all over the country. Some say that the "pale face" party can no longer win against the multi-ethnic party.
You only had to watch the TV shots of the crowds at the respective acceptance/concession gatherings if you had any doubts about the demographic reality.
But what continues to surprise me is not that the Democrats can eke out a win (and with a black candidate in a very racist country); it is that some 58 million people will vote Republican. They might as well be voting for the tooth fairy. Republican politics are a giant con, a multifaceted scam. There is only one goal: The rich get richer, and the richest of the rich get richer faster.
Statistics tell us that the 1 percent have "made out like bandits" in the past few years. They have pocketed something like 60 percent of the gains in income since the recession began. Of the major developed nations, we have the greatest disparity of wealth. The
big money that flooded Romney with hundreds of millions should love Obama.
So how do the Republicans get
millions of white working men and women to vote for a party that wants
to fleece them of their very last dime? Fear. Listen to a Glenn Beck rant for
five minutes, and you will hear that
the country is being destroyed, that you will need to get all the guns and ammo you can get, that your lives are going to turn to crap, that the "others" are just trying to take everything you have got and that the "others" are not good, hardworking, God-fearing white people like you are. Of course, an alien, Muslim, black president hates everything about you.
The political challenge in America today is to bring people together to achieve our common goals and defeat the forces that try to tear us apart.

Traffic to Japan drops
The company that runs United and Continental airlines says it has seen a noticeable drop in people flying from the US to Japan in the days since the massive earthquake there. Megan McCarthy, a spokeswoman for United Continental Holdings Inc, says there has been a "modest decline" in overall traffic to and from Japan. However, she described the decline in traffic going from US cities to Japan as "measurable." United and the other big US carrier serving Asia, Delta Air Lines Inc, both said they are continuing to operate their full schedules to Japan. Lufthansa and Alitalia have both diverted their Tokyo flights to other Japanese cities.
SJM profit quadruples
The Macau casino giant owned by tycoon Stanley Ho (何鴻燊) saw net profit almost quadruple last year, the firm said, days after a family feud over his multibillion-dollar empire was settled. Ho's flagship Sociedade de Jogos de Macau (SJM) saw a net profit of HK$3.56 billion (US$456 million), up from HK$907 million in 2009, while revenue soared almost 68 percent to HK$57.65 billion, it said in an annual report on Wednesday. The company said its overall share of Macau's casino sector grew to 31.3 percent last year, up from 29.4 percent in 2009.
Trough likely this year
The ravaged Greek economy will likely hit a nadir in the second half of this year and then start regaining strength, the IMF said on Wednesday in a report on its bailout program. Given the depth of the collapse of the economy and government finances, it could take more time than other debt--ravaged European economies to recover, the IMF said. It also said near-term risks are significant, from contagion from other suffering economies, the likely rise in euro interest rates and continued problems in bank liabilities. The country continues to contract and a GDP shrinkage of 3 percent is likely this year, after shrinking about 4.5 percent last year.
Economy to grow 1.5%
Britain's economy will grow 1.5 percent this year owing to "significant headwinds," the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said on Wednesday in a downgraded forecast published one week before the country's annual budget. The organization said Britain's recovery that began in late 2009 "faces significant headwinds during 2011, which can be mitigated by monetary policy remaining supportive." The Paris-based OECD forecast British GDP growth of 1.5 percent this year, down from a previous estimate of 1.7 percent. The forecast for GDP next year was unchanged at 2 percent.
Carbon price recommended
Australia's top climate adviser yesterday urged the government to set a carbon price of between A$20 and A$30 (US$19.7 and US$29.6) a tonne from the middle of next year, raising concerns from manufacturers over the cost of pollution, but winning support from environment groups. The carbon price proposed by economist Ross Garnaut is in line with mining industry and analyst forecasts, and would rise by 4 percent until a floating price kicks in with a full emissions trading scheme from mid-2015. Gillard has promised a fixed carbon price from the middle of next year, ahead of a full emissions trading scheme three to five years later, with details of the price and compensation to be worked out by a multi-party climate committee.

CNN to host Iowa Democratic Town Hall
The Democratic presidential hopefuls will face voters in a CNN town hall on Monday in Des Moines, one week before the highly anticipated Iowa caucuses.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will field questions from Iowa Democrats in this prime-time event hosted by the Iowa Democratic Party and Drake University.
"We are honored to partner with CNN on their town hall with our three fantastic Democratic candidates," said Dr. Andy McGuire, chair of the Iowa Democratic Party. "With this event airing just one week before the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses, it's an incredible opportunity for Iowans to see our candidates detail their plans to move our country forward and their vision for Iowa and the nation."
KCCI will carry that event live on our sub-channel 8.3 My Des Moines starting at 8 p.m.

Minimum wages
Minimum wages and other minimum terms of employment applicable to employment relationships are regulated by industry-specific collective agreements. An employer belonging to an employers' association must apply the collective agreement to its employees on the basis of the Collective Agreements Act.
National collective agreements deemed to have a representative scope of application are considered generally applicable. An employer that is not a member of the employers' association must at least observe the provisions of a generally applicable collective agreement when its employees perform work that fall within the scope of application of the collective agreement.
An employer and an employee may always agree on terms of employment that are better than those laid down in the collective agreement.
If there are no collective agreements in the employer's sector, the employer and the employee can agree on the remuneration paid to the employee between themselves. However, the pay clause in the employment contract must be reasonable. Finland does not have any law on minimum wages. Furthermore, there are no provisions in the Employment Contracts Act laying down specific euro amounts for the remuneration paid for work. It is, however, stated that the remuneration must be reasonable and normal.

Five to Pull / One to Pass: June 24, 2009
Amazing Spider-Man #598
Creative team: Story by Joe Kelly; art by Phil Jimenez and Paulo Siqueira
Villain to Watch: Green Goblin / Norman Osborn
They say: That cover pretty much tells you what you need to know. Is there an evil obstetrician in the house?!
I say: This title has been unstoppable — and it has been an incredible part of the Dark Reign arc being pushed by Marvel Comics. Harry Osborn is being written as a phenomenally sympathetic and likable character, and the cover promises that he's just about to get ripped to shreds. Bad for Harry. Good for those of us who love a good story.
Avengers: Initiative #25
Creative team: Story by Christos N. Gage; art by Humberto Ramos
Villain to Watch: Taskmaster and the Hood
They say: The full effects of Dark Reign take hold as Norman Osborn reshapes the Initiative into a place to train the Dark Avengers of tomorrow! And wait until you see who's running things now…(Hint: they're on the cover!) But what will happen to the Gauntlet, Tigra, Trauma and the other heroes who've made the Initiative what it is? Oh, Norman has plans for them as well… Don't miss the issue that changes the Initiative forever.
I say: Avengers: Initiative hasn't been the crown jewel of the Dark Reign saga — or the Avengers family of books. But the storytelling has been fairly solid. I'm putting this issue on the "Pull" list for one reason and one reason only: Taskmaster. Long a B-list baddie, he's been on a nice upswing this year, and I'm looking for some nice character development out of him. And the timing is perfect for that to happen. The Hood, I could take or leave. There's nothing I've seen out of that character that wouldn't make him stand out from any ten villains in the Marvel Universe. I'm hoping he gets scratched soon. So, I'm hoping for a little of both in this book.
Dark Avengers #6
Creative team: Story by Brian Michael Bendis; art by Mike Deodato
Villain to Watch: Norman Osborn
They say: That's what Norman Osborn's H.A.M.M.E.R. and Avengers have been all about! And with every bold choice comes more and more risk! And with risk comes pressure! And with pressure…come the voices. How long can Norman Osborn hold it together? And what is he willing to do to make it look like everything is just fine!
I say: Dark Avengers has been a stand-out book from the start. The storytelling is taut and the illustration is crisp. I'm loving the concept, and this book is where some of the crucial story-points of the Dark Reign storyline are being developed. Keep an eye on Ares. He's already warned some of the fake Avengers that they're going to act like real Avengers as long as he's around. I would not be surprised if he made a couple heroes out of that motley crew of poseurs.
Sinister Spider-Man #1
Creative team: Story by Brian Reed; art by Chris Bachalo and Tim Townsend
Villain to Watch: Venom
They say: He ain't friendly and this ain't your neighborhood! Yes, Mac Gargan, America's favorite sociopath-turned-symbiote-host-turned-hero-hunter now takes the spotlight as Norman Osborn's sinister Spider-Man. With the Dark Reign-a-raining, the lives of our mighty Marvel heroes are being destroyed left and right – but for guys like Mac, the world is their oyster and the chef's covering the bill. Mac's a beloved hero. Women love him, men want to be him and nobody wants to run into him after midnight – because the symbiote is still pretty darn hungry.
I say: Who's writing these press releases? "He ain't friendly and this ain't your neighborhood!" It's just ham-handed. Regardless, here's the deal: This is the only one of five (count 'em five! — Dark Reign character-driven issues this week worth following — the others being Dark Reign Electra, Dark Reign Hood, Dark Reign Wolverine and Dark Reign Zodiac. Listen. Marvel. I'm all about the Dark Reign stuff. I really am. But there's only so far I'm willing to go. We don't need more Wolverine in the Marvel Universe, and we certainly don't need a Dark Reign Electra or a Dark Reign Zodiac.
Empowered #5 (trade paperback)
Creative team: Story and art by Adam Warren
Villain to Watch: If you're watching the villains, you're just not getting the point
They say: After saving much of the superhero community from certain doom, costumed crime fighter Empowered is dismayed to find that, in the suspicious eyes of her caped colleagues, she's gone from being merely a "pair of training wheels for supervillains" to possibly being a closeted supervillain herself! Worse yet, she's wrestling with envy and resentment that her roommate Ninjette and boyfriend Thugboy are now more popular in masks-and-tights circles than she is! Meanwhile, our stressed-out superheroine must also unravel an alien-spawned body-image conspiracy, overcome "cosplay" dress-up disasters at work and in bed, and try to survive a potentially lethal confrontation with her teammate Sistah Spooky! Adam Warren's work on The Dirty Pair is well known to U.S. comics readers.
I say: Mature Readers only. Between the art and the deceptively sensitive writing, this is perhaps one of the most unique and brilliant super-hero books on the stands. I know… I know… it's heavy on the cheesecake. It's also heavy on a realistic and surprisingly functional relationship between Empowered and Thugboy. You'll pick up this book for the cheesecake. You search out volumes one-through-four for the story. Warren is just that good.
…A qualified "Pull"…
Lethal Legion #1
Creative team: Story by Frank Tieri; art by Mateus Santolouco
Villain to Watch: Grim Reaper and his crew
They say: When Norman Osborn takes over, what happens to the villains who don't make his short list of acceptable allies? Grim Reaper, Mr. Hyde, Absorbing Man, Nekra, and Man-Ape are about to find out when their cooperative of crime lands on the wrong side of Norman's law – but they're not going down without a fight.
I say: As a faithful Evil Inc henchperson pointed out, this story,is exactly the same as the storyline that kicked of the Secret Six when DC was in the midst of Lex Luthor's "Society." I'm lukewarm on the book from the giddyup, but I'm going to page through it in the comic shop and give it half a chance. Tieri has chosen some very flat characters to work with, but if he can make me care about Nekra the way Gail Simone has made me care about Cat Man, then this book will be successful — with or without the second-run feel of the concept itself.
…And One to Pass…
Avengers / Invaders #12
Creative team: Story by Dale Eaglesham and Alex Ross; art by Steve Sadowski
Villain to Watch: Red Skull
They say: The year long event concludes with a battle royale against a Cosmic Cube powered Red Skull that shakes history to its core. In an altered past and an unrecognizable present, three super-powered teams made up of Earth Mightiest Heroes and the Greatest Heroes of World War Two, find themselves at a crossroads that none of them…or us…may survive.
I say: This series has stunk on ice from the very first panel of the very first book. What a tremendous opportunity wasted. Not even the luminous Alex Ross could save this un-navigatable turd.

Hi-Low, Low-High or as some call it the Mullet skirt. What ever you call it the Hi-Low trend is very popular this Spring and Summer. I tried the trend out recently with a shirt (HERE) and have to admit I loved it. Recently thought I've been eying up some skirts and dresses that follow this trend but also have a bright and fun feel to them. The pink Arden B dress would be a perfect layering piece, and the Hiatus skirt is just so bright you can't help but notice it. Here's some Hi-Low pieces I've lusting over...all under $50!
Top to Bottom/Left to Right
Forever 21 Embellished Dress - $29.80
Gianni Bini Wyatt Hi-Low Dress - $41.30
Arden B Hi-Low Knit Dress - $29.50
Forever 21 Hi-Low Belted Skirt - $17.80
Forever 21 Hi-Low Woven Skirt - $22.80
Pim+Larkin Polka Dot Skirt - $39.99
Hiatus Hi-Low Maxi Skirt - $19.99
Will you be trying the Hi-Low trend this summer?

Getting a Trauma Insurance Quote
To ensure you choose the best critical illness cover for you, it's advisable that you compare a variety of providers' quotes, and features side by side with the help of a specialist.
While medical and technological advances have improved our chances of surviving a life-threatening illness, it also comes with a price tag. Due to loss of income and the additional costs of medical expenses, you might now have a 'living' financial risk. Critical illness insurance (CI) is designed to address this risk.
Trauma Conditions are not the same for every insurer. You need to carefully consider which trauma insurance and policy type best suit your needs. It's recommended that you review policies based on the amount of conditions an insurer covers and how easily it is to meet the definition required to have the insurer pay out a claim.
To ensure you choose the best critical illness cover for you, it's advisable that you compare a variety of providers' quotes, and features side by side with the help of a specialist.
Before taking out a policy, there are a number of key things you need to be aware of:
You are entitled to the lump sum benefit when you are diagnosed with a critical illness, covered by your insurer and meet the specific definition of a traumatic event as outlined by your trauma cover.
According to an in-depth research study done by Zurich, for their Misinformed booklet, around half of all Australians older than 30 will suffer from one or more of these diseases at some point in their lives:
Standard policies cover 30 – 43 major critical illnesses including cancer, heart, neurological and permanent conditions as well as organ and blood disorders, intensive care and other events.
|Benign brain tumour
|Multiple sclerosis
|Burns of limited extent
|Benign tumour of the spine
|Muscular dystrophy
|Critical care
|Severe rheumatoid arthritis
|Absence of hand or foot
|Aortic surgery
|Medically acquired HIV
|Congenital blindness
|Coronary artery by-pass surgery
|Occupationally acquired HIV
|Congenital deafness
|Heart attack
|Chronic kidney failure
|Developmental dysplasia of the hip
|Heart valve surgery
|Chronic liver disease
|Down's Syndrome
|Open heart surgery
|Chronic lung disease
|Disseminated intravascular coagulation
|Cardiac arrest
|Major organ transplant
|Primary pulmonary
|Ectopic pregnancy
|Triple vessel angioplasty
|Systemic sclerosis
|Hydatidiform mole
|Alzheimer's disease
|Infant death
|Brain damage

|Tetralogy of fallot
|Severe burns
|Transposition of great vessels
|Parkinson's disease
|Severe diabetes

erythematosus (SLE) with lupus nephritis
|Major head trauma
|Terminal illness
|Trache-oesophageal fistula
|Diagnosed benign tumor
|Minor heart attack

|Minor heart attack

Colostomy and/or ileostomy

|Esophageal Artesia
|Motor neurone disease
|Severe burns
|Spinal bifida
|Aplastic anaemia
|Severe diabetes
|Cleft lip and/or palate
|Terminal illness
|Diagnosed benign tumor
|Neonatal death
Plus Policies cover an additional 10-20 more minor conditions including loss of hearing or sight, early stage cancer, diabetes, Crohn's disease, partial Alzheimer's disease and more. For these conditions, you will typically receive a partial payment. Because Plus Policies offer cover for additional illnesses, they are generally more expensive.
|Diabetes Complication
|Carcinoma in situ of the Cervix Uteri
|Carcinoma in situ of the Vulva or Perineum of limited extent
|Carcinoma in situ of the vagina
|Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
|Hydatiform Mole
|Partial Blindness
|Partial Loss of Hearing
|Severe Osteoporosis
Your insurance premiums will generally be affected by:
Whichever policy type and insurer you choose will clearly state which illnesses are covered and how severe it needs to be in order for it to pay out. For you claim to be processed quickly, make sure you provide the insurer with all the requirements needed. To know what those requirements are, speak to our specialists to help you through the process.
Some policies will pay you the full assured amount on diagnosis of a critical illness; others pay out a percentage of the amount, depending on the severity of your illness. It's important that you read the Policy Disclosure Statement (PDS) and speak to a professional before you make your decision.
Financial protection against critical illnesses is vital to any person, especially as your financial responsibilities increase and the older you get. As you age, the probability of suffering a critical illness increases. The older you get, the higher your premium becomes because your risk of developing a critical illness increases with every year. If you have a mortgage, people dependent on your monthly salary or need to repay debts and medical expenses while you recover, you will need Critical illness cover to help you.
Trauma insurance pays out a lump sum when you are diagnosed with a critical illness, as defined by your insurer. Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance, on the other hand, pays out a lump sum in the event of your total and permanent incapacity. Income Protection covers up to 75% of your income and pays a monthly benefit should you be unable to work due to illness or injury.
We detail the full differences, pros and cons of TPD and income protection in this handy guide.
Many basic Critical illness cover policies in Australia may appear similar, but their definitions and requirements for paying a claim can differ dramatically. The easiest way to finding a policy that is suitable for your circumstances is to compare the leading insurers in Australia and to speak to our specialists. At Life Insurance Direct, we compare the 10 leading insurers in Australia and give you a detailed quote from all of those insurers.
The pros and cons of TPD vs Trauma insurance. Discover if a Total and Permanent Disablement or Trauma policy is better suited to your unique requirements.
Wondering how much trauma insurance you need? Our trauma cover calculator guide will take you through what to consider
Cancers, heart attacks and strokes are the most claimed on trauma insurance conditions with breast cancer and prostate cancer among the highest forms of cancer claimed on
Our insurance glossary offers definitions of some of the key terms used in the insurance industry that will help you to understand their meaning.
I'm an Australian citizen but living and working overseas at the moment (in the US). In the event that my wife or I are diagnosed with a critical illness, it's likely that we would return to Australia for treatment to have support from our friends and family.
Is it possible for me, an Australian currently temporarily living overseas, to purchase a trauma coverage policy from an Australian insurer?
Hello. I just would like to ask if there are still insurance companies that would offer life insurance to a cancer survivor and could I still apply for Trauma and Accident Cover even though I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer and been treated last year.
Can I also apply for a Trauma and Accident policy for the whole family, including my children?

Summer 2012 – OMG!
For the past 10 days I've been thinking about new designs for Spring Summer 2012 – "surely not already" I hear you say. But yes, the road is long and winding … and to get through the many stages involved in designing an Italian made shoe collection, due in stores in August 2012, I need to start now!
This early design phase is absolutely my favourite part of the process (the selling of the collection being my least favourite – just in case you were wondering) … and it's during this time that I feel very lucky to be doing this. As I always say – I'm not sure where the habbot path will lead … but when I'm tucked away in my studio, pen-in-mouth, iTunes humming, swimming in screwed up bits of paper, masking tape, and reference books I feel like it's the most exciting thing in the world and I wouldn't give it up for all the tea in China.
Annie Abbott blog
As I progress through the very first stages of drawing the designs onto the taped up shoe lasts I am always thinking of Ms habbot, and would she wear what I'm drawing. It's tricky because there's a lot of her in me, but we are not entirely the same person (for example, she spends much more time and effort on grooming than I do, her disposable income is healthier than mine right now, and she owns matching sets of lingerie!) So I have to be careful not to wander off the track and start designing shoes for someone else which can easily happen depending on my mood at the time. To help me with this, I've made a collage of images of women who I think fit the habbot customer profile and have pinned it to my studio wall.
I am off to Italy again on Tuesday to start working with my pattern maker on these new designs, and also to oversee production of the Spring Summer 2011 shoes. I must say, I'm very pleased at the thought of bringing my 2nd round of habbot shoes to life whilst I'm there.

Two students from the New South Wales north coast have been selected to represent Australia at science forums in Europe.
- Print page

- Permalink
The popular TV show The Big Bang Theory may have begun to popularise scientific terms like quantum physics and the strong anthropic principle.
But students Lachlan Patterson and Harley Gray from Mount Patrick College say it does little to dispel stereotypes surrounding the field they hope to work in.
"I definitely think shows like The Big Bang Theory are definitely trying to immerse science into the popular culture," Harley says.
"But with characters such as Sheldon, it obviously portrays a false persona of a scientist... we're not all introverted geeks who complicate every sentence, we're just normal people who have a passion."
The pair has been chosen to travel to Europe for two separate science forums.
Lachlan is one of three Australians attending the International Summer School of Science in Heidelberg, Germany in July.
It involves practical training with some of the world's leading scientists.
"[It's] a four-week intensive research program where I will be exploring with the help of a professor mentor, one area of physics," he says.
"It will probably be an area within quantum mechanics and computer science, which will perhaps delve into quantum computing and the opportunities it presents to scientific research as well as private and public industries."
Harley will head to Copenhagen in Denmark to discuss science and major global challenges at the EuroScience Open Forum.
But he's also opening the event will help narrow his career path.
"The field I'm interested in is an area called bio-physics; it combines my love of chemistry, physics and biology.
"There'll be scientists working in the fields that I might be looking at working towards; so we'll be able to talk with them about their careers and how they got there, and the work they do and how it impacts on society and the environment."
Lachlan and Harley were chosen as part of their involvement in the Rotary sponsored National Youth Science Forum program earlier this year.

Affinity unveils Salvos' Christmas campaign
Affinity and the Salvation Army have teamed up to launch the Salvos' second annual 'Give a Lunch for Christmas' campaign.
The integrated campaign encourages Australians to help fill 8000 empty plates by sharing photos of their festive lunches via Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
The 'sharing' component will help raise awareness for those who don't have access to a Christmas lunch, according to Affinity MD Luke Brown.
"The more people hear about it, the more donations we're hoping to inspire," he said.
"The campaign's aimed directly at younger donators, with an affordable $10 giving someone in need a meal.
"It also seemed like the perfect audience to ask for help in generating a bit of free publicity, by sharing lunch photos and asking their friends to donate."
The campaign involves TV, print, digital, outdoor and direct interactions.
Donations can be made via SalvosGiveaLunch.org.au.

The Internet of Objects is slowly entering our lives. We don't see it but it's there. The most frequent objects in Europe are electricity and water meters. The first are becoming digital because of a Directive that requires these meters to be changed in all homes.
There is one exception: France. In the Hexagone, Veolia, Saur and ERDF have already installed 3.5 millon water digital meters that are connected to the Internet to send data. They are replacing 15 year old ones. Veolia has even created, together with Orange, a startup for this matter, m2ocity. Water meters are used in France not just for providing data to customers and providers but also to identify network incidents in which water is being lost.
In France there is even an increasing interest in "smart water", which is to water distribution what smart grids are for power distribution. Suez and Schneider are working in this field in order to improve the maintenance of water networks by following certain data: age of water, speed and pressure.

In FIFO relationships, sweet little surprises can make a huge difference
Sandy (or 'Auntie', as many people call her) is our FIFO Survivor. Her husband works offshore in oil/gas and they've been together for more than 30 years - many of them as a fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) family. In that time they've raised two beautiful daughters (both now in their 20s) and moved more than 19 times! Sandy wanted to write for Mining Family Matters to show you can survive FIFO.
The man of the house is a typical bloke. And a bit of a hunter and gatherer. He portrays a rough exterior, but over the years I have discovered another side too.
Our lives together started with the engagement ring saga...
"Girl, this will be the only jewelry that I buy you, so you had better get what you want."
I did that and spent $20 under budget. He did live up to form though, and there was no more for a very long time.
Many years later he came home for Christmas. My girlfriend was excited about what he'd bought me as a gift. Really, did I need another chainsaw?
No, he had excelled himself this time and spent his Life Away From Home allowance (LAHA) on an amazing white gold bracelet.
I was advised not to wear it daily, like when I was gardening. But damn, that bracelet took me a long time to get and I don't take it off. Ever.
Another memorable moment came when I'd flown to visit him for a weekend. He had arranged a night dinner cruise on the river. It still has a special place in my heart, but there was one funny moment to the night.
He had a very large 4WD and we had driven into a city car park. Yes, the vehicle was too high and we had to reverse the wrong way out. Much to the amusement of onlookers.
Years later, he surprised me with a weekend away. He had seen me watching TV in awe of a resort. I had candidly remarked, "Wouldn't it be great to go there?" Normally he leaves all arrangements to me, so that weekend away was a real surprise. Organised a rental car, accommodation at the resort. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments. Overpriced but so worth the experience.
All the simple little things have been remarkable in their own way, too. Knowing I was down in the dumps and taking me out to the movies, or spoiling me with a takeaway and wine on the beach.
The moments I remember are those he really thought about.
So all you blokes out there ... how about you surprise your partner?
Arrange a babysitter and go out for the night (or an entire weekend away if you can make it happen). The fact that you have been the organiser will make for a happy wife. And we all know what that means!

Sounds like a great idea, right? Being able to get together with a bunch of other Stars fans at a local establishment, kick back with some some beverages and food, and root on the Stars as they take on a team in the playoffs. Sounds like heaven.
I've beat this horse before on the blog, and on the B³ Facebook page, but I think it's worth repeating. I'm not sure why the Stars organization isn't keen on this idea, but it seems like a win-win to me. Find a bar that would be ok with hosting the event. The bar would have to spend some money to be able to broadcast the B2-America One video, which from what I have heard is somewhere around 200-300 bucks. Charge a cover to get some of that money back. I'm sure Stars fans would be more than happy to spend some cash on drinks and food. If I'm a bar owner, this proposal seems like a big win to me. Great opportunity to feed off the hockey fans in this town and bring in some good money on a Friday or Saturday night.
When you look around the USHL, just about every other team is doing something like this for their fans. Some teams even do watch parties for regular season games, not just playoff games. Let's look at the three other teams in the playoffs right now that are playing all of their first round games on the road, just like the Stars.
Sioux City Musketeers:

Waterloo Blackhawks:

Muskegon Lumberjacks:
Click here to view the information about a get-together they organized for their fans.
Why can't this work in Lincoln? Or maybe I should ask, why doesn't it happen? Our fan base is rabid! I guarantee this would be a success. It's a little late in the game obviously for this season, but I really hope this is something the Stars think about for next season. Our fans deserve it, and I know they would appreciate the opportunity to come together and support the team while they are playing on the road.
What say you? If such an event was ever held, would you attend? I know I sure as heck would.
