Just aquired one of the grey WWII Navy Battle Lanterns. Does anyone know what type batteries they used and the voltage? Looks like from the connectors inside that the batteries had screw posts on them.
Just aquired one of the grey WWII Navy Battle Lanterns. Does anyone know what type batteries they used and the voltage? Looks like from the connectors inside that the batteries had screw posts on them.
These lights used the #6 battery. It's the tall, round, 1.5 volt kind with the screw terminals. Used to use them to start gas-powered model airplanes. Radio Shack can special order the old-style carbon-zinc kind for about $15 each, I believe. You'll need 2 of them plus the jumper wire to connect them in series. Or you can try www.ralphselectronics.com for Eveready EN6 (the alkaline version). They are about $13 each, plus freight. These have a 46,000 mAh capacity which will power your lantern for about 2 days straight.
anyone know the bulb number?
there is no number on the bulb in mine.
i dont think mine ever saw duty as it looks like new and the battery retainer is wrapped in early 40's dayton newspaper.made by grether mfg dayton oh.
My lantern uses a #1491 dual contact bayonet base bulb. The bulb is 2.4 volts and I think .50 amps. Check out http://www.topbulb.com/search/results.asp?REF=110 . They have stock and the cost is $3.11 each. Good luck. You could also try to use a 2 "D" battery holder if you just want a "demo" light to show your friends.
Mine has a screw in or threaded base bulb.
The one I bought has the jumper wire and the battery nuts. This one has a bulb, but I can't read a number. I would assume that it is a 3 volt bulb? Thanks Kirk!
That is weird. Most of these "emergency" lights used bayonet style bulbs because they won't loosen with vibration. Check with Topbulb. They have a pretty good C/S. Give them dimensions (my bulb has a round globe about 1" in diameter) and what base yours is--miniature screw base, candelabra screw base, single or dual contact base, etc. Good luck.
mine is a bayonet base.
btw who is the maker of your light?
This bulb is a single contact minature screw bulb with round globe. This light does not say navy on it. It is the big grey klunky looking light with a toggle switch in the front above the glass lens. It is sealed with the gaskets around the lens and the top cover. The lens cover and top cover are held on with screws and the square bolts. The only markings on it are U.M.P.C.I.
Mine was made by Delta Electric Co. out of Marion, Indiana.
I have a grey Navy Battle Lantern. USN is on the front in raised letters. It has a sealed beam. Toggle switch on top. Mounting bracket attached to the back. I have tried putting in two 6 volt regular lantern batteries. They do not fit. Too tall. The top part of the battery compartment has two brass strips where it appears the battery contacts touch. Does anyone have an idea of what type of battery this lantern uses? Any help will be appreciated.
Wow, this is an old thread that you pulled up.
Do you have any pic's that might help identify the type needed?
Fenix L2D, L1D, LOD, P2D, E01, Inova X-5, X-1 v2, Inova Radiant 2aaa, Inova Microlight, Dorcy Super 1 watt, Dorcy 1aaa gen3, RiverRock 2aa Headlight, RiverRock 1W 1aa, RayoVac Sportsmanextreme 1aa Headlight, Nuwai .5Watt 1aaa and 2aaa
I'd love to see a picture of it no matter what. Sounds very cool.
But there are others - how big is the sealed beam glass 4.5"? 5.75"? Is the toggle switch on top of the lamp housing or on top of the battery box?
Does it, in fact, look like any of these?
Here's one style of Navy Battle Lantern. You can still buy these new:
These came in (at least) two configurations. They all had bulkhead brackets on the back, and one style was wired into the ship's system to keep the cells charged, while the other carried non-rechargeable cells.
The best way to ID them is to follow the Mil-F number and NSN # which will be somewhere on the case, or on a label inside.
I was an electrician in the Navy. I served on a ship that was built during WWII. All the battle lanterns had been replaced with the style that donn has a picture of. We replaced them fairly often as they seemed to grow feet and walk away from the mounting brackets. I remember they had the 6 Volt batteries. We would get cases of batteries and lanterns.
Now I can see the darkness .
The one out in my garage didn't walk away, my dad outright stole it when he was on the LEX. You know those Navy guys you can trust them as about as far as you can throw them!
There is a company that makes led conversions for them. And rechargeable at that. No idea what it costs (probably an arm a leg and your first born)
Though it starts with a fist, it must end with your mind.

I have a few of these newer lights (made by Roflan) and one was factory-made as a "power failure" light. It has power cord that plugs into a regular household receptacle. There is a relay inside so when the mains power fails, the light goes on. It still uses regular old 6V lantern batteries that are not rechargeable. There is a push-to-test button and a volt meter mounted in front of the handle above the sealed beam to test the voltage of the batteries.
Two of my lanterns came with "flood" lamps (they look like small car headlights) and another has a clear sealed bulb which has a pretty decent beam.
EIKO, www.eiko-ltd.com , carries bulbs for these; part numbers are 4546 (clear lens, 4.7 volts, .50 Amps) or 4547 (clear lens, 4.75 volts, 1.25 Amps). I don't know if they sell to regular folks; my company buys from them for resale, so I just added on to a P.O. and paid the company back. Or you could google for PAR 36 lamps.
I have seen these lanterns in yellow, gray, and a light, pastel green.

What's the case made of? Metal, Plastic,..?
The Roflan lights are made of a fiber-reinforced plastic material, similar to Bakelite. Probably a phenolic of some kind.
"They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist.....", last words of General John Sedgwick, Union Commander, 1864
Well dang! How crazy is it to dig out old threads anyways?
Wonder if rkanddms got his battle lantern running after all?
I was a IC electrician in the Navy, and the Electrician Mate's from the lighting shop were always lugging big cartons of the 6-Volt dry cells around for these lanterns. The ship had hundreds of them, everywhere! Almost in every compartment of any importance.
There were stories of shipmates, probably from deck department, of tossing the portables over the side (in port) for fun . Because of the superb water-tightness and the heavy batteries situated towards the back, the lanterns would slowly sink beam up, all the way down.
I was able to make room for either a 6 or 12 Volt SLA inside my battle lantern depending on which lamp I was running at the time.The choices were 30 or 50 Watt, both Very Narrow Spot. Not much run time but with outputs nearing 300-400 Lumens. A small charging plug hangs out of the back.
Donn, Gordo, or Kirk, if you guys see this post, and even the slightest bit interested, I'd like to partake in a group upgrade effort of this light.
It's very dark outside. Time to Shine!

They were also very comforting during General Quarters, which could last for hours on end, especially when damage control would send us into some pretty creepy unlit spaces.
AN/VSS-1 xenon Death Ray, 24" & 19"HMI, 600W Cow Light, LiteBox, PAR-46 80W portable, PAR-36 30W Navy Battle Lantern, Luxeon 5W Torch
Now that would make for a really neat HID mod...
Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.
If anyone is still looking for a bulb, my father "somehow" ended up with one of these after his tour. He always said that a standard vw bug (original, I don't know about the new bugs) headlight would work.
I have an old grey battle lantern. I have been told it is from ww2. I recently sand blasted it, powder coated, and replaced all the gaskets and screws. No it is no longer "stock" but I love the look and wanted to USE IT! I live in a tent for 3 months of the year and this lamp would just fit in PERFECTLY. I would really like to put a halogen bulb and rechargeable battery in it. Anybody try this yet? The picture shows where I am right now...notice no switch or bulb yet...Attached is a picture of my project so far.....
Project so far...
Please email me with suggestions and or thoughts.
I am looking for suggestions for bulbs and rechargeable batteries, I would really like to upgrade to halogen and 12v rechargeable.
email me:firstname.lastname@example.com
I picked up one of these today at a auction for $20, I almost got it for $5 but there is always one person who screws you up. We used these in coast guard boot camp and they still have them in the motor life boats. I just had to have it. Its a little beat up and needs batteries.

In this article, I will show you how to connect to the internet with Nokia 5320 express and CA-101 cable data.
Step 1. Connect the cable data
Setting from Nokia mobile
Plug in the cable data.
Choose 'PC Suite'.
"Change USB connection mode?
Memory store may be corrupted if data transfer is ongoing".
Choose 'yes'.
Message at Ubuntu Linux.
Step 2. Configure the dial connection
After you connect the cable data, type 'sudo wvdialconf' to configure the dial-up connection.Ubuntu will recognize the Nokia 5320 express music directly.
Open your Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)
Then type 'sudo vim /etc/wvdial.conf' and press 'Enter' to edit the setting connection.
(You can use any text editor that you are familiar to change to configuration. For example gedit).
Below is the setting connection result that I get after I ran the 'wvdialconf' command.
You have to change the setting based on what 'card' that you are using in your mobile. Because the setting will be depend on your 'mobile card provider'.
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
; Phone = <Target Phone Number>
; Password = <Your Password>
; Username = <Your Login Name>
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800
New configuration that I made based on my mobile card provider. I use 'Halo card' from Telkomsel. Press 'INS' button on your keyboard then type setting configuration.
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = *99***1#
Password = wap123
Username = wap
Init3 = ATZ,"10.1.89.130″,"telkomsel"
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800
Press 'ESC' to release the 'INS' key and type ':wq' and press 'Enter' to write and quit.
Now let's try the connection.
Type 'sudo wvdial' and press 'Enter'.
Seem that we are connected to the internet.
Open your browser and try open any webiste.
Why I still can't open any website?
Sometimes this problem occur when we have another active connection protocol.
You can check by open another Linux Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type 'ifconfig'.
As you seen below, I still have eth0 protocol active.
Turn it off for temporary. Type 'sudo ifconfig eth0 down'.
Go back to your wvdial Terminal Screen and press 'Ctrl-C' to stop the connection and re-connect again by type 'sudo wvdial'.
Open another Linux Terminal, type 'dig http://www.google.com' and press 'Enter' to test the connection.
Done, now you can open your browser and surf with it.

Eddie Johnson scored both goals for the U.S. men's national team and helped lift his side to an enormous 2-1 upset over the heavily favored Antigua & Barbuda team tonight in North Sound.
The Americans, with a squad full of professionals bearing the burden of their careers and the 300 million citizens behind them, miraculously dashed the expectations of the tiny Island country and its team of amateurs in securing the essential win in qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Johnson, who starred for the U.S. national squad nearly a decade ago, found himself restored to glory with his first international multi-goal game since 2004. It was his first start for the national team in more than two years. Johnson headed home the winning goal as regulation time expired, and the U.S. held on through four minutes of stoppage time to complete the unprecedented upset. [BeIN]

England Twenty20 captain Stuart Broad is awaiting the results of a scan on his injured left heel, which will determine his availability to face India next week.
Broad suffered a recurrence of the injury, which first required a scan at the start of England's two-month tour, while he was practising in the Nagpur nets before the final Test against India.
The fast bowler, highly unlikely to play in the fourth Test after losing form mid-series, left practice after obvious discomfort and returned only briefly before heading off for more treatment.
England will be primarily concerned about his fitness for two Twenty20s in Pune and Mumbai next Thursday and Saturday.
Eoin Morgan is England's Twenty20 vice-captain and would be the obvious candidate to lead the team in Broad's absence.
The selectors may, however, need to replace Broad in an inexperienced 13-man squad which contains only three other specialist seamers.
Broad, who had a scan on his injury during England's second tour match against the DY Patil Academy in Mumbai last month, went on to play in the first two Tests.
It was thought initially that an update on his injury was likely on Tuesday, but none was forthcoming and it is now expected on Wednesday.

Each week, the Huffington Post Canada's Living team will try out something that has sparked our curiosity, and as long as we live to tell the tale, we'll let you know all about it.
Test Drive Subject: Lumosity.com's brain games
Price: From $29.95 for two months and up -- see full pricing here.
What It Is: A games website that makes you smarter -- no, really, that's the whole point of it. Lumosity consists of 'brain training' exercises, which are basically games based on neurological science formed through affiliations with Harvard, Stanford and UC Berkeley. Aimed at improving everything from memory to thinking speed, once you sign up for the site and choose a course, it sets you up with a training regimen -- not unlike that piece of paper the personal trainer handed you at the gym after your free evaluation.
What's In It: There are 35 games (and apparently more being added) that get dealt out in an assorted manner. The regimen gives you five games to play per day, for a total of 15 minutes, but you can keep going well past that if you so choose. One day it might be Face Memory Workout (to help remember people's names), the next it could be Penguin Pursuit (to gain a better sense of direction).
Most interestingly, the site offers specified courses for medical conditions, including ADD, cancer recovery and PTSD. These are developed by scientists to target the particular issues faced by each of these conditions.
Putting It To Use: I should probably admit right up front that I love mindless computer games. Give me access to Bejeweled and I can be happy for hours. So I was slightly skeptical about these 'good medicine' games that were supposed to help me focus my attention, but I was willing to give them a shot.
And you know what? They were just as addictive as any click-and-point game I'd find online. The 15 minutes would easily turn into an hour as I wandered through the site, and I was truly impressed with the graphics and challenges that were presented. The games increased in difficulty as I progressed, and for competitive sorts like myself, this is exactly the draw that's needed to keep people coming back for more.
Our Thoughts: As someone who's less than stringent about adhering to any particular gym or general wellness schedule, I actually found myself looking forward to my daily Lumosity games. The idea that I could be making my brain work better just by memorizing matrix patterns or figuring out rules to a card game was incredibly appealing, and really compelled me to 'play' every day.
Did some of the games get a little boring over time? Sure they did, and that's probably why I stopped playing after I completed the initial basic course. But that doesn't mean I don't have every intention of returning, and hopefully by that point, they'll have some new options installed.
The Warning: As you can see from the image below, my performance in all areas vastly improved over my 40 days of training (probably embarrassingly so). And during that time, I genuinely felt like I was remembering things better, keeping distractions at bay and yes, figuring out tips a bit more quickly. But once I stopped playing the games, those effects weren't quite as apparent. So there could be a few things at play here: perhaps my heightened awareness of how my brain was working made me concentrate more, or maybe the continued exercises created a kind of optimized environment for me. Or maybe (and this is the explanation I'm going with) my brain has just adapted to these quicker processes so much that I'm used to them now to even notice.
Tips: If you're in it to be competitive with yourself (like, um, someone I know), play around with the various assessment tools available. They give you a satisfyingly instant result in terms of abilities and progress.

By Leila Abboud
PARIS (Reuters) - Loss-making telecom equipment maker Alcatel-Lucent plans to raise 955 million euros ($1.3 billion) from shareholders and $750 million from a high-yield bond to cut debt and drive what its boss has called a last-ditch effort to save the group.
Chief Executive Michel Combes launched his "Shift" plan in June, including 10,000 job cuts, 1 billion euros of cost savings and 1 billion of asset sales. He is aiming to revive a firm which has struggled against low-cost Asian competitors as well as larger rivals Ericsson and Nokia since its creation in 2006.
The Franco-American company said on Monday it planned to sell new shares at 2.10 euros apiece, a hefty discount to the current share price.
At 1315 GMT, Alcatel-Lucent shares were down 2.6 percent at 2.89 euros, after falling as much as 9.3 percent. Shares often fall after the announcement of a new share issue, which can dilute earnings per share for existing investors.
Analysts and traders said the fundraisings, which were accompanied by plans for a 500 million euro syndicated revolving credit facility, were not a surprise, but came earlier than expected, probably due to a recent surge in the firm's shares.
"After the sharp rise in the shares last week, the fall this morning is relatively small," said Franklin Pichard, a director at Barclays Bourse, which advises investors and owns Alcatel-Lucent shares.
"That means that Alcatel is no longer feared by investors," he said, adding he planned to take part in the capital increase.
Combes, who has pledged to slash Alcatel-Lucent's debt and had earlier flagged that a capital increase might be needed, said the fundraisings were a key part of his turnaround plan.
"In the past few months, we have gotten renewed confidence from customers and the market, and this allowed us to proceed immediately with these three financial operations today," he said on a conference call.
"They will help the company manage its own destiny and restore competitiveness."
The strengthening of Alcatel-Lucent's finances will also give it more options at a time when speculation has been mounting that consolidation lies ahead among telecom equipment makers. In September, Reuters reported that Nokia was discussing internally whether to approach Alcatel-Lucent about a tie-up or buying its wireless unit, funded by proceeds it will get from the sale of its handset business to Microsoft.
Combes' strategy is to streamline Alcatel-Lucent to focus on IP networking products, which help telecom operators carry mobile data traffic, and high-speed mobile and fixed broadband.
The new shares will be offered to current holders of Alcatel-Lucent stock, who will be given one right for every share they own as of November 18. A shareholder needs 41 rights to be able to buy 8 of the newly issued shares.
Between 454,722,512 and 460,000,000 shares will be issued, with the subscription period running from November 19 to November 29.
Holders of shares in the United States will not be eligible for the share issue, the company said a statement.
The 955 million euros of expected proceeds from the share sale compare with Alcatel-Lucent's current market capitalization of about 7 billion euros.
The company likely chose to carry out a capital increase now because the shares have been surging on hopes for its latest turnaround plan - up almost 200 percent this year, compared with a 21 percent rise in the European tech index
The group also reported third-quarter results last Thursday that sent the shares up nearly 20 percent.
Since June, Combes has reprofiled Alcatel's debt maturities significantly, reducing the amount due by the end of 2016 to 876 million euros from 2.03 billion.
Once the share sale and bond are carried out, the company intends to repay 2014 and 2015 debt issuances, Chief Financial Officer Jean Raby said on Monday.
After the moves, the group's net debt will be roughly between "break even" and 50 million euros, he added.
As of September 30, the group's net debt was 1 billion euros.
The capital increase is underwritten by banks including Merrill Lynch, Crédit Agricole, and Deutsche Bank as global coordinators. Citigroup, J.P. Morgan Securities, Goldman Sachs, HSBC Bank, Morgan Stanley and Natixis are also joint bookrunners.
($1 = 0.7414 euros)

I have this phobia about dentists, and I most definitely need a filling or two right now but I admit, I am too chicken to go and see one. I am under some illusion that I might find a miracle tooth product that will fix my teeth…I know that can't actually happen but you know, we live in hope.
Hope is what I had when I saw these Toothy Tabs over Christmas in Lush. I am all for wacky products and for a mere £2.50 I bought 'Sparkle' to try.
I already have a 'tooth powder' which is a loose type I bought in Asia which adds a fine polish to the teeth (but is no substitute for toothpaste).
Toothy tabs look like tablets. Pop one in your mouth, crunch it then brush with a wet toothbrush. It will foam slightly, and rinse. That's it.
There are a few different flavours, I just figured with a name like Sparkle, it would work perfectly for my teeth.
Sparkle contains Black Pepper Oil, Grapefruit Oil, Pepper Powder, Salt, Lemon Peel and more. Sounds…ok right? Sounds like a garnish for a salad, right?
So I try this…
And it is SO gross. Trust me, I have eaten loads of gross things in my time. The worst stuff, the stuff you just cannot keep in your mouth include: Liver (for me, I can't bear it), a mouldy peach (you can actually feel it fuzzing over your tongue) and now, this.
It's bad enough having certain aromatherapy type oils in your mouth, stuff like Lavender and things barely work in food never mind in a product made for cleaning the teeth. This doesn't just have the lemon essential oil, it throws in pepper and I LOVE pepper, I love it but this was heavy choking pepper, and if you swallow a little bit by accident, then double yuk.
I spat it out and rinse rinse rinsed my mouth out. It has a horrible after taste, why on earth would you ever brush your mouth with lemon and pepper then leave it like that? Won't you just feel like you had a salad at Pizza Express?
If you are going to try this, for gods sake, reach for the mint flavour.

French automaker Peugeot, under pressure from the new Socialist government of French President Francois Hollande, still plans to close a plant near Paris.
Peugeot Citroen PSA announced this month it would close a plant in Aulnay, north of Paris, and layoff 8,000 of its domestic French workforce of about 80,000 employees to bring production costs down. Hollande called the job cuts "unacceptable" and told the cash-strapped carmaker to go back and talk to its unions.
Last week, Peugeot management did and said it would press ahead with restructuring but work to soften the impact of any job losses and the closure of the assembly plant, The Wall Street Journal said.
Peugeot Wednesday reported a loss of 819 million euros ($990 million) in the first six months of 2012 as car sales in Europe sag amid economic uncertainty fueled by Greece and Spain.
The French government unveiled a 500 million euro ($605 million) recovery plan for a struggling domestic auto industry that includes a higher consumer incentive for consumers who buy clean green-technology plug-in electric or hybrid vehicles. The French auto industry employs about 600,000 people.
France's Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg had warned Peugeot not to expect government assistance unless it was willing to make concessions.
"I pledged that there will be no forced layoffs and that we will do what is necessary to reindustrialize the Aulnay site." said Peugeot Chief Executive Officer Philippe Varin after meeting face-to-face with French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault.
Ayrault also demanded assurances the underutilized assembly plant would be redeveloped, the Journal said.
Peugeot is France's second-largest automaker after Renault, which is partly owned by the French government from previous government bailouts, and is Europe's No. 2 automaker by volume after Germany's Volkswagen.
Job reductions at the Aulnay plant apparently will be accomplished through attrition, reassignment and outplacement of workers to other employers rather than immediate painful layoffs. Wage freezes are likely.
Last week, Peugeot reached a partnership agreement with Toyota to use a plant in Sevelnord in northern France to assemble Toyota-branded delivery vans for sale in Europe as Toyota moves production out of Japan because of the strong yen.
The companies already have a joint partnership producing small passenger cars in the Czech Republic.
2025 U.S. mileage standards ready to be finalized
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Safety Administration expect the Obama administration to finalize proposed 2017-2015 fleet fuel-efficiency standards by mid-August.
The proposed Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency, or CAFE, rules would require automakers to produce vehicles that average 54.5 mpg by 2025.
NHTSA said the White House Office of Management and Budget would complete its review by Aug. 14, about two weeks later than the administration had planned.
Thirteen major auto companies, including Ford, GM and Chrysler, signed on to the tough new mileage proposals last year even though automakers said the requirements could cost the industry nearly $158 billion. Industry experts estimate the new mileage standards could add $3,000 to the cost of an average vehicle through 2025.
The Congressional Budget Office in May projected improved fuel efficiency would cut gas tax revenue by $57 billion through 2025, The Detroit News said, and recommended an 18.4 cent per gallon hike in the federal gasoline tax to pay for road repairs and construction.
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney told the News in a recent interview: "The best approach is to try to build vehicles that people want, rather than having the government telling the companies what they must make."
Fuel economy ranked as the top concern of new car buyers in a Consumer Reports survey released in June, with two-thirds of respondents saying their next car would have to get better mileage than their current vehicle.
German automakers have claimed the proposed CAFE standards are tilted to favor U.S. automakers.
Consumers waiting for a battery breakthrough
Reaching the 300-mile range on a single charge is becoming the Holy Grail for electric car battery technology, and so far no battery has come near that mark.
The New York Times last week reported scientists at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland have demonstrated a stable lithium-air battery pack with four to 10 times more energy storage capacity than conventional lithium-ion batteries.
"We need to go beyond the 300-mile driving range for EVs [electric vehicles]," chemistry professor Peter Bruce told the Times in a telephone interview, "so we need a transformational shift. Lithium-air batteries have potential to provide it."
Science magazine said the lithium-air battery pack only lost 5 percent of its electrical capacity over 100 charge-discharge cycles in a laboratory.
But Bruce said the lithium-air cell still has a long way to go.
"We're just now trying to address the fundamental science challenges," he added.
Ford's first plug-in: the C-Max Energi
Ford engineers say the Detroit automaker's first plug-in hybrid, the 2013 C-Max Energi, will have combined range about 550 miles, the gasoline equivalent of 95 mpg.
Ford recently drove a C-Max from Sacramento to San Diego without stopping for fuel, The Detroit News reported.
The C-Max can go about 20 miles in electric-only mode before its 2-liter, 188-horsepower, 4-cylinder engine takes over -- that's about double the battery-only range of Toyota's plug-in Prius, which has a combined range of about 540 miles.
The C-Max will sell for $29,995 after a $3,750 federal tax credit when it goes on sale this fall.
The 2013 plug-in Chevrolet Volt gets an expanded range of 380 miles -- 38 miles on battery power only -- when it becomes available in showrooms in August.
High traffic deaths up
Traffic deaths took a 13.5 percent jump from January through March, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
NHTSA estimates there were 7,630 traffic fatalities on U.S. roadways from vehicle crashes in the first quarter, compared to 6,720 during the first three months of 2011 -- the largest quarterly increase in traffic deaths since 1979.
The Detroit News said unusually mild winter may have increased road deaths in 2012 because people took advantage of the warmer weather to drive more.
"The winter of 2012 was also unseasonably warmer than usual in the most areas of the country," NHTSA said. "Consequently, the fatality rate for the first quarter should not be used to make inferences for the fatality rate for the whole of 2012."
Traffic deaths had declined for the last five years and were down 1.7 percent in 2011 to 32,310.

In the meantime feel free to browse our other menus within Conwy below.
|Alfredos Restaurant
|The Olive Grove
|European, Italian
|Bresaola with rocket and parmesan salad
|Delicious Italian cured beef is served cold on the plate with a salad of rocket and grated parmesan, finished off with an Italian vinaigrette dressing. The beef can be cured for up to 3 months in Italy. Sometimes served with roasted cherry tomatoes, normally as a starter, but can be had as a main course.
|Pizza & Pasta, Italian
|Lamb cutlets with garlic and rosemary
|Usually on every Italian menu, small trimmed lamb chops or cutlets are served steeped in fresh rosemary and garlic and pan fried or grilled. Served with sauté potatoes and vegetables, it is a hearty plate of food and delicious flavours. Tender pink lamb is enhanced by the earthy rosemary and garlic, a favourite in the UK.
|The classic and renowned Italian soup, comprising small pasta shapes, a rich chicken stock and finely diced vegetables such as celery, onions, tomatoes, carrots beans and herbs. Created in Ancient Roman times the soup is now served in many different ways, some finely and others much more chunky and hearty. A sprinkling of parmesan and a good basket of bread makes this really filling.
|Cafes, Italian
|Lasagne is served in every pizza and pasta restaurant, and varies in how it is made. Some use sheets of ordinary white pasta, while others use the green spinach lasagna sheets. A rich minced beef and tomato sauce is layered along with garlic, herbs and a white béchamel sauce, and topped with mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan. Served with salad and garlic bread
|Pizza & Pasta, Italian
|Calzones are 'folded pizzas' that contain a variety of fillings, but are based on the most usual pizza toppings. Some are more elaborate than others and can contain any kind of meat, such as minced beef, chicken, ham and also tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, but also spinach, rocket, aubergine and other vegetables.The 'pizza' is folded over and sealed to prevent the filling from oozing out.
|Pizza & Pasta, Italian
|Spaghetti and Meatballs
|A traditional Italian dish with meatballs made of minced pork and beef, herbs and minced onion and garlic, served in a rich thick tomato based ragu sauce. Can be served sometimes with shredded fresh basil or oregano and shavings of parmesan. As with carbonara, it tends to be served with garlic bread and side salad.
|Pizza & Pasta, Italian
|Osso Buco
|A dish invented in Ancient Roman Times and perfected over the years to a more sophisticated Italian meal, consisting of cross-cut veal shanks, braised in red wine, onions, celery and carrots and served with a gremolata on the top (optional). Usually accompanied by a risotto Milanese, where this dish originated.
|Delicious slices of bread, rubbed with garlic and tomato and seasoned before grilling. Various toppings are served, the most popular being diced tomatoes and red onion with finely chopped garlic and basil. Can also be served with a pesto topping, and sometimes with roasted aubergine and mushrooms. Usually a starter but can be purchased as a main course.
|Cafes, Italian
|Tagliatelli Carbonara
|An all time favourite in Italian restaurants. This wider, flat pasta is served with a rich creamy sauce with small dices of bacon. Spinach pasta is often used and a hint of garlic lifts the dish. Topped with grated parmesan, it is a hit with children as well. Often served with a side salad and garlic bread.
|Pizza & Pasta, Italian
|Pinot Grigio
|Classic white Italian wine, normally top of the list in all pizzerias. Very dry white wine with slight fruity overtones, there are normally a few varieties available, including New World grapes. Often used as the 'house wine'
|Italian, Takeaway Food
|A variety of Italian beers are available, the most popular being Peroni or Azurro. Served normally in tall frosted glasses, the beer tastes very light but is actually relatively high in alcohol content
|Pizza & Pasta, Italian
|In rustic Italian restaurants you can still see empty bottles of Chianti grouped together and hanging around the bar or ceiling! Old Chianti bottles used to be covered in a basket weave and often used to house a candle on your table so that the wax dripped down the outside of the bottle! The wine itself is red and relatively light in comparison to heavier Italian wines such as Barolo. Chianti is produced primarily in the beautiful region of Tuscany, and is eminently drinkable!
|Wine Bar, Italian
|Another popular wine! This white wine is produced in the Veneto region of Italy, around the city of Verona, home to many Shakespeare plays! It is comparatively dry and was once the 'in' drink in the 1970's but was overtaken by Pinot Grigiot towards the 1980's
|Wine Bar, Italian
|The most popular of beers served in Italian restaurants, it is not the cheapest one around but still sells more than any other. 5% alcohol, a slightly 'hoppy' taste but very refreshing when served in iced cold frosted glasses. Can be purchased by the bottle or on draft, where large Peroni's are sold at a special price.

Installation Notes
This sections contains these topics:
Firmware Upgrade Issues
If you are currently running firmware 6.0(2) to 7.0(2) on a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE or 7941G/7941G-GE and want to upgrade to 8.0(x), be aware that upgrading will take up to twice as long to complete as usual.
Firmware Installation Notes
Before using the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE or 7941G/7941G-GE with Cisco Unified CallManager release 5.0, you must install the latest firmware on all Cisco Unified CallManager servers in the cluster.
The 8.0(1) firmware release has been made available on Cisco Unified CallManager installation CDs; however, it will not be made available on Cisco.com due to additional bugs filed during final testing. Cisco recommends that you instead use the updated 8.0(2) SR1 firmware load, which is now available on Cisco.com. This recommendation is limited to this specific firmware release and has no bearing on any other software or firmware available on Cisco Unified CallManager CDs.
The name of the SIP 8.0(2) SR1 installation program for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and 7941G/7941G-GE on Cisco Unified CallManager 5.0 is:
The readme file that contains installation instructions is:
Both of these 8.0(2) SR1 files can be downloaded from this location on Cisco.com:
Note•If you are upgrading from an earlier firmware version, see the "Firmware Upgrade Issues" section before upgrading.
•Cisco recommends installing 8.0(2) SR1 instead of 8.0(1), as explained earlier in this section.
Important Notes
This section contains these topics:
•Failover Time Using TCP is Faster than Failover Time with UDP
•Cisco Unified CallManager Load Server Setting for Firmware Upgrades
•Secure PC Log Off in an 802.1X Network
Failover Time Using TCP is Faster than Failover Time with UDP
You can configure SIP profiles for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and 7941G/7941G-GE to operate with TCP or UDP by using the SIP Phone Security Profile Configuration window in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration. If you select TCP as a transport protocol, the failover time between primary, secondary and tertiary Cisco Unified CallManagers is approximately 5 seconds or less. If you select UDP, the failover time is approximately 120 seconds. The failover time is the maximum time that the phone waits before it can detect Cisco Unified CallManager failure status. The difference in the failover times is due to the behavior of TCP and UDP and not a defect on the Cisco Unified IP Phones or Cisco Unified CallManager.
Cisco Unified CallManager Load Server Setting for Firmware Upgrades
Cisco Unified CallManager Administration contains a setting to optimize installation time for phone firmware upgrades.
Note The setting is intended for future use, and is not yet a supported feature.
The Load Server setting is visible on the Phone Configuration page (Product Specific Configuration section) in the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration application. This setting lets you specify another TFTP server IP address or name (other than the TFTP Server 1 or TFTP Server 2) from which the phone firmware can be retrieved for upgrades on the phones. When the Load Server is set, the phone contacts the designated server for the firmware upgrade.
Note•If the firmware load is not found on the Load Server, the phone does not upgrade and is not redirected to the TFTP Server 1 or TFTP Server 2.
•On a factory reset or during a software recovery operation, the phone may fall back to using TFTP Server 1 or TFTP Server 2 to recover the phone load. In these scenarios, the phone will recover the phone load either via the term61.default.loads or term41.default.loads file, or it will attempt to recover the phone load based on its load.hist file.
•If the phone is auto-registering with Cisco Unified CallManager for the first time, the phone will request the phone load via TFTP Server 1 or TFTP Server 2. This will only occur once when the phone is first installed into the system. This can be mitigated by preloading the phones with the correct firmware so that no firmware upgrade is required in combination with the auto-registration, or by auto-registering the phones at the main site prior to deployment at a remote site.
You can view the Load Server setting on the phone from Settings > Device Configuration > Network Configuration > Load Server. If the value in the Load Server setting is invalid, a "Load Server is invalid" message is displayed on the phone in Settings > Status > Status Messages.
Secure PC Log Off in an 802.1X Network
Firmware release 8.0(1) provides support for a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and 7941G/7941G-GE to monitor IEEE 802.1X messages between an authenticating switch and a connected PC (supplicant).
When a PC is disconnected from the Cisco IP Phone, the phone issues an EAPOL-Logoff message on behalf of the PC to the authenticating switch. The proxy EAPOL-Logoff message causes the authenticating switch to set the port to an unauthenticated state.
If you have an 802.1X network and upgrade to Cisco Unified IP Phone firmware release 7.0(2) or greater, be aware that you must re-authenticate a PC that is connected to a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and 7941G/7941G-GE.
For more information about 802.1X re-authentication, refer to the Cisco Catalyst switch configuration guides at:

The Arab Immigration Oral History Digital Collection holds oral history interviews by Richard Saltzburg and Professor Esam Alhadi.
The Arab Immigration Oral History Digital Collection is a project sponsored by the UF Libraries' mini grant program.
The Arab Immigration Oral History Digital Collection project aims to make available through Oral History interviews the life and professional experiences of Arab immigrants who have settled in Florida after leaving their homelands. The interviews are recorded digitally in Arabic and English and are also transcribed into English and available as PDFs. Our collection is intended to help scholars, researchers, students and the general public to understand the reasons why certain Arabs immigrate to Florida. These interviews reveal specific life and professional experiences these immigrants have had and how they have created a new home for themselves in Florida. Documentation of Arab immigrants' experience may have previously been approached through a number of single- or multi-authored scholarly books, textbooks and articles. Whereas it is almost inevitable that such publications will be marked by the bias of their authors, the audio material collected for this project provides a unilateral dimension to both culture and history by virtue of placing primary focus on the voices of the Arab immigrants themselves. To this end, we tried to use open ended questions during the interviews and we let them speak at length on any topic.
Another target this project is aiming for is to give a preview on Arab culture in diaspora. Unlike other projects that focus on the socio-economic and geo-political factors that contribute to shaping the cultural life of the Arabs in their homeland countries, this collection intends to provide an answer to what defines and shapes Arab culture in diaspora. This will be tied to immigrants' perspective on education, social and family life and the efforts to blend into the wider Florida and American society.
See all of the full collection materials.>>
Revealing Florida's Arab Immigrants Phase II: The Arab Business Community
Revealing Florida's Arab Immigrants Phase II: The Arab Business Community is a collection of oral histories in the Arabic language recorded from participants who are Arab immigrant business people living in Florida. These individuals come from Arab speaking countries throughout the Middle East and North Africa. The interviewer has strived to capture their personal histories. Their stories provide information about their country of origin, education, occupation and their current living conditions. Our educational objective is to discover the many ways Arab immigrants use business to earn a living in America. See all materials for this collection.>>
Please direct questions to Richard Saltzburg or Esam Alhadi.
We hope you enjoy this collection.

Early January is a time to review what transpired in the past year and make plans for the coming one. Fuel being consistently named by aircraft owners as their number one concern, it's appropriate to review trends in recent years and make some predictions for 2013. The U.S. Energy Information Administration provides a wealth of statistics on all sources of energy, including the fuels we use. For instance:
- Since 2009, avgas consumption increased somewhat to 681.2 thousands of gallons per day at the end of 2011. Whether this increase will continue, or we are seeing a return to the long-term decline of around 3% annually, is impossible to say at this time.
- By comparison, Jet-A consumption has dropped since 2009, having reached 53,459 thousands of gallons per day at the end of 2011. Note, though, that avgas consumption is only about 1.3% of Jet-A consumption, which includes all of GA and the airlines (it is not clear whether these numbers includes military aircraft, however).
- By contrast, the total consumption of gasoline was 354,952 thousands of gallons per day at the end of 2011. Jet-A is 15% of this figure, and avgas only 0.19% compared to gasoline, a miniscule amount and the reason that avgas is often called a "boutique fuel."
- Premium gasoline, the best source of mogas, accounted for 31,846 thousands of gallons per day at the end of 2011, about 9% of total gasoline sold. While a small portion of overall gasoline sales, this is still a figure 47 times greater than for avgas at the same time period.
While no statistics are yet available for total sales of these fuels in 2012, by switching the "View History" to "Monthly" for each of these charts, it appears that little changed between the end of 2011 and 2012. Numerous recent articles forecasting 2013 GA aircraft sales for 2013 paint anything but a rosy picture for the coming year. We'll likely being doing well if we simply hold our own in the coming months, given widespread uncertainty over the U.S. and foreign economies, employment, regulatory and tax reform, etc.
The outlook for the oil & gas (O&G) industry is one of the few areas that provides some encouragement that aviation fuels could drop in price. According to this recent article from the O&G industry publication RigZone, Canada is already seeing a rapid drop in the sales price of its crude oil, bad news for the oil industry but great news for consumers. As reported in this blog a few weeks ago, the U.S. is already a net exporter of refined gasoline and we're predicted to be the world's largest producer of crude oil by 2020, due in part to the amazing technology of hydraulic fracturing and directional drilling.
For users of mogas, this is good news, since a large portion of the refined products from crude oil goes to fueling highway vehicles. Jet-A is also relatively easy for refiners to produce, and in large demand, so we should expect to see downward pressure on its price, too.
Avgas, being a boutique fuel that requires a lead additive (TEL) with all the costs and regulatory issues this brings, is another story. With the last major overseas users of leaded fuels for highway vehicles switching to unleaded gasoline in 2013, demand for TEL will be limited to avgas users, which are primarily found in North America and Europe. This map from the EPA shows where leaded fuel was still in use in February 2009.
The first $50 question remains: How long will the last producer of TEL, England's Innospec, remain in a dwindling business? This statement from the company's website shows that the company is planning for this now: "… as a responsible organization, we recognize the importance to the environment of reducing lead in automotive fuel so we are supporting the global phase-out program for TEL in two important ways. Firstly, we recognize that the economies of some countries continue to depend on this product. They do not have cars with catalytic converters capable of running on unleaded fuel, so TEL remains by far the most cost-effective octane enhancer available. With our extensive market knowledge, built up over many years, we are in a great position to help these countries make the transition to unleaded fuel smoothly. We will ensure the continuity of tetra ethyl lead (TEL) supply during their phase-out period and provide comprehensive advice and guidance on how best to manage the changeover."
The second $50 question pertains to the availability of mogas at airports and ethanol-free, aviation-grade mogas at gas stations for those who self-fuel. As this blog has frequently reported, while still small, the number of airports offering mogas continues to rise, as can be seen in the table at the bottom of this list of airports with mogas, and shown on this map, both from GAfuels blogger Dean Billing. (Note here the recent addition of E95, Benson Municipal Airport in southern Arizona, the first airport in the state to offer mogas in recent years.)
According to Dean, one of the nation's foremost authorities on avgas and ethanol policies, we can expect the following in 2013:
- 1 in 4 chance that Innospec will stop making TEL, but there will be up to a two-year supply salted away in their tanks or in our tank farms.
- 1 in 10 chance that our refiners stop making 100LL because their accountants make the case it isn't worth it.
- 1 in 3 chance 100LL will go over $10 a gallon. This is actually the one we should be betting on.
- The hard one is when we hit the ethanol blending wall, because as I found out this year when we should have hit it there is the 20% RIN carry-forward loophole, so we are about 15-18% below it. On top of that, the EPA hasn't published the quotas for 2013. They are required to do that in November of each year, but I can find no record of it and without that you can't tell where we are. We should be through the blending wall now into no man's land. If, as I believe, demand is continuing to fall for auto gasoline across the U.S., then the blending wall is going to come this year.
Add to this the sudden departure of EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson in late 2012, and all bets are off on what, if anything, will be done about the unattainable RFS2 ethanol production mandates in 2013.
In summary, the outlook for lower prices for Jet-A and Mogas in 2013 is positive, while the future of avgas remains uncertain. Very little new news has been seen on the unleaded 100 octane development effort, and we do not expect anything significant in 2013. Unless something is done about the RFS2 ethanol mandates, it will become more difficult to find aviation-grade mogas at gas stations, although recent trends in the listings at Pure-Gas.org appear to indicate that retailers see a growing market for an ethanol-free option, despite the mandates.
Encouragingly, an increasing number of airports are making the extra effort to add mogas to their fuel options. We are also aware of one major unbranded avgas supplier that is planning to start offering mogas in 2013, which would be a first. This should send a clear message to General Aviation that mogas is a serious future aviation fuel, already the case outside North America and, as your blogger reported in the spring of 2012, the primary targeted fuel for virtually all new piston aircraft engines.
The GAfuels Blog is written by two private pilots concerned about the future availability of fuels for piston-engine aircraft: Dean Billing, Sisters, Ore., a pilot, homebuilder and expert on autogas and ethanol, and Kent Misegades, Cary, N.C., an aerospace engineer, aviation sales rep for U-Fuel, and president of EAA1114.

Well, We are trying to build an application using NT Native Api.
This application is for to delete some files used by a trojan, with most
popular AV don´t detect here and also don´t delete the main files.
The problem is:
This trojan install a .sys(Image sys Driver) with protects, all files used
by trojan to be deleted in boot process.
In other way, we cannot change any information from the registry, about this
trojan, because in Windows Environment, this trojan have a dll hooking any
change into their registry values, blocking the changes and in some cases,
rolling back any changes, we try to do, and of course, we cannot delete
those files, because, this dll, protect´s all yours owns files, including
the .sys file.
We try to insert a function native from NT, such as NTUnload, but don´t
work, I think because the driver don´t have a section with instructions to
unload the driver.
We can delete this files using NTDeleteFIle from NT Native Api, in our
executable, because the driver from trojan load before US, blocking the
function and we see a message(STATUS_SHARING_VIOLATION). So, we don´t have
any ideas to delete this files, they don´t infect any other´s files, they
only intall Yours own files to monitoring PC activity and to try get Bank
So we don´t have more any ideas how we can delete the files.
Can someone help us?
By the way, if is needed, we can send here, or in private e-mail our source code, witch we try to delete this files, who we build a smaller application
in NT Native Api.
And the trojan dll use winlogon.exe to still in memory, but when we try to
close winlogon, they use System to stay in activity. we try to stop the
service, but we allways receive a information we do not have rights to do
this action, and I beliave, they don´t have a function STOP in the main dll
from Services. All steps was testing in Windows Environment also in Safe
Mode environment don´t work.
Thanks for Your help.

Hospital-based neurologists worry about career burnout
A survey has identified career burnout as a significant problem among neurologists who predominantly work with hospital inpatients.
Nearly 29 percent of these "neurohospitalists" said they had experienced burnout, and 45.8 percent said they were concerned about burnout but had not yet experienced it. (Burnout was defined as maintaining a schedule so burdensome as to limit the time a physician will or could spend as a neurohospitalist.)
Results were published in the December, 2012 issue of Neurology Clinical Practice. Among the co-authors is Jose Biller, MD, chair of the Department of Neurology of Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. Biller is chair of the Neurohospitalist Section of the American Academy of Neurology.
Many neurologists have limited or abandoned seeing hospital patients because of reduced reimbursement. At the same time, inpatient neurologic care is becoming increasingly complex. The neurohospitalist movement has emerged as a possible solution to both problems.
In the survey, respondents said advantages of the neurohospitalist model include timely and high-quality care, improved continuity of care during the hospital stay, familiarity with hospital systems and defined work schedules.
Disadvantages included long work hours, poor reimbursement and transitions between the hospital and clinic settings.
Researchers conducted a random sample of 1,293 neurologists, with a response rate of 41.6 percent. Among those who responded, 16.4 percent said they were neurohospitalists. (A neurohospitalist was defined as a neurologist whose predominant focus is the care of inpatients as either a consultant or primary attending physician.)
Researchers surveyed an additional 498 neurologists (response rate, 55.8 percent) who specialize in such areas as critical care, stroke and emergency neurology and are thus more likely to be neurohospitalists. Combining results from both surveys, researchers found that the most common diagnosis neurohospitalists see is stroke and transient ischemic attack (mini stroke), 83.1 percent, followed by delirium/encephalopathy, 9 percent, and seizure, 2.6 percent.
Researchers concluded that neurohospitalists "are a potential solution to a number of the pressures on traditional neurologist practice." However, challenges need to be resolved, "not the least of which are potentially problematic transitions of care and burnout concerns given a small workforce. As the model matures, further study will be worthwhile, of both neurohospitalists and their impact on the inpatient care of patients with neurologic disorders."
Other co-authors are David J. Likosky, MD, of the University of Washington (first author), S. Andrew Josephson, MD, of the University of California San Fransisco, Mary Coleman of the American Academy of Neurology and W. David Freeman, MD, of the Mayo Clinic Jacksonville.
Biller is one of five neurohospitalists at Loyola. "I believe the neurohospitalist model we have developed at Loyola will evolve into a national paradigm on how to optimally provide care of hospitalized patients with a wide array of neurologic disorders," he said.
Biller added that hospital administrators "should support fellowship training for this new breed of neurologists."

Around the NewsFeed offices, we're not afraid to tout the best of the best when it comes to viral videos. Adorable duets? Check. Chubby British babies? Check. Cheeky sports teams? Check, check. But when it comes to surprise dance videos — particularly of the wedding variety — we're just not that interested. You know the ones, where a happy couple shake-up a stuffy formal occasion with their own unexpected choreography, usually involving a Sir Mix-a-Lot tune? It's a sweet idea, folks, but we've seen it before.
But, then, from the depths of YouTube, comes a surprise dance video that could charm even our jaded hearts. Mike and his daughter Jessica delighted her Bat Mitzvah guests with a surprise dance set to an eclectic music mash-up. Their moves stand out from the crowd for two essential reasons. First, it doesn't take place at a wedding where these routines have become just that — routine! Second, can you imagine your dad learning to Dougie for you? Didn't think so. We're not surprised the video has garnered almost a million views in just a few weeks.
Of course, it should be noted that as adorable as they are, even Mike and Jessica could not escape the dreaded Sir Mix-a-Lot.

Tomorrow the kids and I are leaving for NY to visit with some family I haven't seen in a VERY VERY long time. Kevin is staying home to take care of the dogs and chickens and most importantly, keep the bacon coming in.
I don't mind traveling alone, but tomorrow is going to offer a new challenge for me. Getting to, parking and getting inside of the airport - BY MYSELF! I have packed lightly but can't go much lighter than this:
- One large rolling suitcase with all our clothes
- One backpack that will act as diaper bag, toy carrier, camera case and lunch box
- One baby in ergo (I love you ergo carrier)
- One toddler (hopefully) in car seat strapped to a Go-Go Babyz - fingers crossed that he loves it as much tomorrow as he did today racing around the kitchen in it.
- Two blankies and two sippy cups
Did I mention that all this will be done at 4:00 am????
Driving cross country is starting to look more appealing by the minute.
Wish me luck!

It seems that Dolce & Gabbana decided to go back to their roots with their spring 2013 fashion collection as it was packed with Sicily written details and Romanesque patterns and motifs, details which gave the collection a totally unique feel. Although the designer duo went wild with their designs for the past couple of spring seasons (last year it was a veggie-fest at Dolce and Gabbana), this spring 2013 season they decided to go all-out with and opted for bold motifs displayed on some Romanesque influenced patterns.

Wall Street is coming out of earnings season with more steam than before. Even though not all reports were positive, it seems that investors are unwilling to allow anything to slow down returns. With this in mind, it is no surprise that the ETF industry is booming; April alone saw the introduction of 18 new funds and not a single closing, and equities continue to shine in 2013 [see also How to Pick The Right ETF Every Time].
First Quarter Earnings Season Standouts
The chart below highlights the seven of the best performing ETFs to date, highlighting performances, volatility and expense ratio. Note that the size of each bubble is based on expense ratio [see Visual History Of The S&P 500].
- MSCI Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DBJP, B-)
- Market Vectors Indonesia Small-Cap ETF (IDXJ, n/a)
- NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund (QCLN, B-)
- Market Vectors Biotech ETF (BBH, B+)
- KBW Capital Markets Portfolio (KBWC, B-)
- SPDR S&P Transportation ETF (XTN, A)
- Dynamic Media (PBS, B)
The Bottom Line
While nearly every corner of the equities market has performed relatively well, there have been some superb individual standouts that have outperformed major indexes. East Asian ETFs DBJP and IDXJ came in at the top for year-to-date returns with over 33% each. Green energy and biotech have also been enjoying a strong year, with QCLN, BBH and a number of related funds bringing in huge returns. While the Capital Markets Portfolio KBWC logged in an impressive return, investors should note that the fund's 200-day volatility comes in at 27%.

Rome GRAND SLAM | 18 - 23 June 2013
Rome, Italy, June 10, 2013 - Following the confirmation of team entered to participate in the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Rome Grand Slam, one thing is certain that there will be new winners in both the men's and women's events.
A year ago USA's Jacob Gibb and Sean Rosenthal won their first FIVB gold medal and qualified for the London 2012 Olympic Games when they defeated world champions Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego in the final. In the women's Nadine Zumkehr and Simone Kuhn from Switzerland defeated Germany's Sara Goller and Laura Ludwig.
Since then Gibb and Rosenthal have found new partners, with Casey Patterson and Phil Dalhausser respectively, while Zumkehr is now playing with Joana Heidrich following Kuhn's retirement at the end of 2012.
Rome has fast become one of the most popular venues on the FIVB World Tour, with the action taking place at the historic Foro Italico Sports Complex north of the city and the matches going on late into the evening.
This year it has extra relevance as it is the final tournament before the start of the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships and so presents a final chance for teams to improve their world ranking and lay down a marker to their rivals.
Jennifer Kessy and April Ross are the women's first seeds and will be out to improve on the bronze medals that they won in the Eternal City in 2012. Also aiming to improve on 2012's performance are local favourites Greta Cicolari and Marta Menegatti, who finished fourth last year and are seeded sixth.
In the men's draw Alison and Emanuel are seeded first and they will be hoping to repeat their dominant performances from Rome 2011, when they became world champions at Foro Italico's centre court.
The strong starts to the year by Rosenthal and Dalhausser and Gibb and Patterson are reflected by them being seeded second and third, while Italy's highest ranked team, Daniele Lupo and Paolo Nicolai are ranked in ninth place.
The Rome Grand Slam runs from June 18-23 is the fourth of 10 Grand Slam tournaments that make up the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour.
