'Tantalising, but not yet conclusive': physicists may have glimpsed mystery particle
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Physicists working on a landmark experiment to understand the building blocks of the universe have announced fresh results in their quest to discover whether the elusive Higgs boson truly exists or not.
Lancaster physicists working on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva, have been sharing results with another team from the sister experiment, CMS, which may indicate they have both found traces of the Higgs boson.
The Higgs boson is key to the astonishing success of the current model in particle physics, because, according to existing theory, it is the mechanism by which particles acquire mass. But the particle has not yet been observed in experiments.
Two separate LHC experiments - Atlas and CMS - have been conducting independent searches for the Higgs and today both groups announced they have made interesting parallel discoveries.
At a seminar at CERN, the heads of Atlas and CMS said they had observed signals in their data at roughly the same mass: 124-125 gigaelectronvolts (GeV). These signals could perhaps be the first evidence of the Higgs.
Dr Harald Fox at Lancaster University is looking for the decay of the Higgs into so-called tau leptons.
He said: "If we are really seeing the Higgs, more work and data will be needed to confirm the signal is genuine. Beyond that, it must also show the correct Higgs behaviour, in particular that it decays into the expected particle types at the expected rates. - for instance, into the tau."
Professor Roger Jones, Head of the ATLAS group at Lancaster University, said: "We cannot say for sure whether the Higgs exists at this point in time. However, the issue will be settled next year, probably by the summer. In some ways, not finding it would be more exciting, as it means so much of what we believe to be true will need to be revised."

October 22, 2010, 5:04 PM — A recent study from application integration/app hosting company Hubspan added to the pile of research showing that a significant percentage of corporate IT people are "confused" about both cloud computing technology and its potential benefits.
More than 60% of the companies in the Hubspan study said cloud computing was a strategic direction. Thirty-six percent had at least one SaaS or cloud-based application and an additional 25% planned to move a business application to the cloud. Only 13% had no plans to add a cloud or SaaS-based project.
The top reason 39% had not yet moved into cloud computing? They were unclear on the potential benefits of cloud computing.
"You have to ask how they can say that," says Bernard Golden, CEO of consultancy Hyperstratus and a CIO.com blogger. "Do these people work in the technology world? Have they been living under a rock?"
[Is it really just SMBs running apps in Amazon's public cloud? No way, says CIO.com's Bernard Golden. See The Truth About What Runs on Amazon. ]
The amount of information--and hype--about cloud computing has been so intense in the IT industry for the last couple of years that it seems almost impossible for someone in the industry to not understand the basic concept and benefits of cloud computing.
"What they may mean is they don't understand how cloud computing may apply to them, to their company particularly," Golden says.
There has been a lot of confusion about what a cloud actually is, let alone what benefits it could bring, according to Sean Hackett, research director for The 451 Group.
For example, a July 6 Forrester Research study found many companies "suffering from cloud confusion" caused by the number of dissimilar products assigned the name "cloud" as a marketing effort.
Cloud Pilot Projects Don't Answer All Questions
For the most part, though, CIOs and senior-level IT executives who say they're 'confused' about the benefits of cloud computing may already have run at least one cloud project, Hackett says.

At Natural England our aim is to sustain and improve the wildlife and natural features of England for everyone. Wildlife does not occur only within designated and protected sites, such as nature reserves or Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). It occurs throughout the countryside, coast and built-up areas of England.
We have examined how each part of England is distinctive, and identified its characteristic wildlife and natural features. From this information, and after a wide range of local consultation, we defined a comprehensive series of Natural Areas, each with nature conservation goals. We have provided profiles for each of our 120 Natural Areas, which describe the wildlife and natural features of each. Whilst these describe England's wildlife they are not designated areas.
The boundaries of Natural Areas are based on the distribution of wildlife and natural features. They are consequently usually not precise boundaries, rather they are often broad zones of transition. Nor do they match local authority boundaries. Instead, by following nature's own boundaries, they offer a better way of planning nature conservation action and can help guide an ecosystem approach.
The boundary data for Natural Areas can be downloaded from our GIS digital boundary dataset
We have defined a series of Marine Natural Areas, which are areas of sea around England each with its distinctive wildlife and underlying geology.

5 Ways To Make My Favorite Soup: French Onion
Earlier in the week I professed my love for soup and admitted that I'm an equal opportunity soup eater. However, I do have a favorite, and frankly it's hard not to when French onion soup exists.
French onion soup is the perfect combination of everything wonderful in the world. It's hot, cheesy deliciousness that I wish was just never ending. While there is a definite traditional way of making this soup, I've also had so many different varieties that I've learned there's no one right way of making it.
Play around with different cheeses, types of onions and whether you want bread in it or not. Maybe you don't want to bake it — even though I really suggest doing so!
Here are five variations on my favorite soup: French Onion.
• French Onion Soup, Bon Appetit
• French Onion Soup - Oldie but Goodie, Pease Pudding
• Slow Cooker French Onion Soup With Beef, Kitchen Trial and Error
• French Onion Soup, Elly Says Opa!
• French Onion Soup, A Cup of Mai

Don't forget the vegetarian version - here's the secret to making it taste beefy: http://www.foodcrossing.com/2011/07/vegetarian-french-onion-soup-arugula-pesto/
oohhh... I love onions, but the boyf hates them. Restaurant-only dish for me :(
Oh my lord, you guys are psychic. I literally just pulled up the site to search for french onion soup recipes and BAM! You beat me to it. (This is like the third time this has happened too. Awesome.)
I helped develop a recipe for a restaurant I worked in, which used chicken stock since we didn't keep beef in the house, but could easily be used with veg stock too - we gave it a deep, rich color and flavor using double strong Pu-erh tea!

Stop Adding 10 Years to Your Face!
Ladies, it's time to embrace aging as a lifestyle choice!
JJ Virgin: Ladies, listen up. You're adding 10 years to your face without even trying. As an expert in nutrition with a Ph.D., I want to point out all the ways in which you are subconsciously stepping into a time machine that takes your kisser many years down the road.If you want to continue looking 10 years older, keep doing the following:
1. Snack and have six to eight small meals each day. It's a great way to make sure you always keep on that extra 10-30 pounds, which means you'll get that little sag around your chin that seems to droop every year just a little bit further south. Make sure to eat your 100-cal snack packs because they'll do the job! Plus, snacking suppresses your human growth hormone, which makes you look annoyingly younger.
2. Drink tons of Cosmos and other mixed drinks. You could also use some sugary drinks in your system. Make sure to avoid a glass of pinot noir, which is an anti-aging pretty drink. Stick with the high fructose corn syrup cranberry juice cocktails.
3. Tell your husband NO in the bedroom. Don't have sex, because it is a great way to lower your stress hormones and boost your mood. Put on the granny nightgowns or old sweats and go to sleep early.
4. Walk for an hour a night. Don't complain that you never see results even when you walk for longer and longer periods of time. Avoid any burst exercise training because it will get your de-aging human growth hormone to kick in.5. Don't make sugar your enemy. So what if it causes glycation and oxidation of your skin and ups your insulin production? It tastes good and you need it.
6. Skip that green tea. You don't want any antioxidants floating around your system. Stick to diet cola and coffee with cream, sugar, whipped cream, and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
7. Use whatever oil is the cheapest. Forget these dumb recent studies. You don't need extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil. Use that deep yellow stuff like your mother did.
8. Hang out with stressed-out people who complain. There's nothing better than absorbing someone else's stress, because you're just too calm and don't have enough of it in your own life. Right?
Or ... you could choose to do the opposite of ALL of the above and look 10 years younger, glowing, and impossibly gorgeous. You decide!

Aaron Eckhart is comfortable playing just about anybody. The native Californian, 45, first became familiar to audiences as the white-collar misogynist in Neil LaBute's In the Company of Men, victimizing a deaf woman for sport. Eckhart quickly gained a reputation as the handsome bad boy and was duly cast as the biker boyfriend of Julia Roberts' title character in Erin Brockovich.
Those chiseled good looks (and adorable chin dimple) have helped land Eckhart as the love interest in such rom coms as No Reservations and Love Happens, military hero in Battle L.A., and the president in Olympus Has Fallen (with an upcoming sequel).
Yes, there's no typecasting Eckhart. We saw him creepily transform from Harvey Dent into acid-scarred supervillain Two-Face in The Dark Knight. And he once again perfected sleazy in a suit in Thank You for Smoking and The Rum Diary.
But we've never seen him as a weapon (and ab) -wielding monster/action star. Until now. In I Frankenstein, out Friday, Eckhart is more rock star than Boris Karloff, despite the crudely stitched-up face. He's Frankenstein's monster for a new generation, with cool sticks to fight off demons in a gothic, 3-D underworld.
We chatted at The Soho Beach House.
What drew you to the role?
The kind of human aspect of this guy looking for his soul, wondering if he's a human being or not. You know, I've felt like that before. I mean, as a teenager: unloved and unworthy, rejected. I thought there's a good story to tell, and I like it.
What was it like to it play half-man, half-monster?
It was fun, but more fun to get out of that wig [laughs]. I had like three hours in the makeup chair every day. They really did a good job with the stitching and the evolution of the scars. I liked the action. We've never seen Frankenstein's creature this way; he's always been this cumbersome, lumbering figure, sort of inarticulate. We made him much more physical, more accessible.
You've been in 30-plus movies since 1997. How do you look back on your resume?
I started late, and yeah, I've been in a lot. There are guys like Michael Caine that have done over 100. There are others that do blue-chip movies all the way. That's very difficult because you're dealing with so many outside variables. I'm going to make movies that are good, some are bad. That's what I do. In the end, I'll learn something and have life experiences.
Have you ever noticed that your characters are named Nick a lot?
I have! It's weird in Hollywood. If you want your character to be a bad guy that's cool at the same time, you call him Nick. There are a few other names that get recycled. Like, if you see a guy that's active and has a great girl and can't commit, he's Jack [laughs].
Do you have a dream role?
I'm always thinking I'd like to do a Western, be on a horse, real old fashioned. I also look for family drama. I'm good at being a dad even though I'm not a father. I like to see relationships. I want people to come out of the theater and have felt something. If I ever directed, that's what I would do.
What do you think of the Miami area?
I shot Any Given Sunday here so I got to know South Beach quite well. Nothing beats looking out the window and seeing all that you have right here.

News and Events Details
The University of Wisconsin-Superior will reduce its environmental footprint and save an estimated $30,000 a year through to a project that replaced hundreds of older lights with new fixtures in two campus buildings.
Representatives from the non-profit organization Focus on Energy and Superior Water, Light and Power visited campus Tuesday, August 10, to mark the project's completion and to present university officials a rebate check for $28,115 that will help pay for the work.
Focus on Energy works with eligible Wisconsin residents, businesses, farms, schools, governments, and industry to install cost-effective energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The organization worked with UW-Superior officials to conduct an energy audit on campus, and helped to initiate and monitor the lighting retrofit project.
"From an energy savings standpoint, this was an extremely good project to pursue," said Dave Voss, energy advisor for Focus on Energy.
The lighting retrofit project involved removing 312 older light fixtures from Wessman Arena and from the gymnasium, field house and racquetball courts of the Marcovich Wellness Center. The lights were replaced with more efficient fixtures that are controlled by sensors which turn on the lights only when they are needed or turn them off after an allotted amount of time.
Focus on Energy officials said the new lights will reduce UW-Superior's electricity consumption by 548,550 kilowatt hours - enough to power 55 Wisconsin homes for a year. The reduction in energy consumption will eliminate an estimated 928,147 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year.
Along with the environmental benefits, the project will save UW-Superior an estimated $30,130 a year in energy costs. Using the rebate from Focus on Energy, the $299,385 project will pay for itself in slightly less than nine years.
Another payback has come in the form of better lighting for building users. UW-Superior building managers said spectators and athletes have praised the brighter lighting in Wessman Arena and Mortorelli Gym.
The lighting projects were designed by Timper Associates Engineers of Wheeler, Wis. Work was done by Benson Electric Co. and Belknap Tel-Com, both of Superior, and APi Electric Co. in Duluth.
Voss praised the campus for working with Focus on Energy. "There's initiative on campus among students and among faculty and staff to save energy," he said."
Tom Fennessey, director of facilities management, said UW-Superior will work with Focus on Energy to find additional energy-saving projects on campus.

In honor of our My Gimpy Life takeover on Comediva.com, I wrote up these text convos between Teal Sherer and her wheelchair! Man, that wheelchair is needy.
I wrote these Game of Thrones Pick-up Lines with Luis Navarro! Click through for lots more, and you'll be guaranteed some Westeros action ;-)
KNOPE 2012! And I'm not talking about Pawnee City Council, I'm talking WHITE HOUSE, baby! One of my favorite shows, Parks & Recreation, came back this week, so I imagined what Leslie Knope's Presidential Cabinet might look like, (with other characters from the show, natch!) Enjoy!
I had sooo much fun photoshoppin' these geeky vacation postcards. So hard to even choose a favorite! So click through for a BUNCH more: Best & Worst Sci-Fi and Fantasy Vacation Destinations
The Squirrel Games! Consider this my addition to The Hunger Games fanaticism. I'm reading Book 2 right now, and so far there's been so much mention of killing squirrels, that I had to think the squirrels would rebel. So I created this comic…check it out!
Just designed this "Save the Date" card for our next COMEDIVA LIVE! So mark your calendars! ;-)
It's Comediva's birthday today! It's officially been one year since we launched Comediva.com, a destination for female-driven comedy, and my, oh my, what a year it's been. Really.
I can't say enough how grateful I am for all the wonderful people surrounding me who have made this possible. And knowing what a long journey we still have ahead to grow this site and fulfill all our dreams of what it could be, I know that I must continue to be grateful, courageous, and empowering to everyone around me.
There have been moments in this strenuous journey into my new life as a creative entrepreneur that I've felt the weight of the world on my shoulders, and in those moments, I tend to feel very alone. But I must continually remind myself how I'm not alone — how I'm actually surrounded by talented, smart, beautiful, funny people who want to make things better, every day. They believe in the idea that we can be better — we can be better people, better creatives, and a better company.
We'll never stop reaching for the stars.
In honor of Comediva's Birthday tomorrow, I made a Top 11 list of my favorite items of the last year. This was not easy, especially with so many gems like the Canadian Bacon above floating around our site's archives. ;-)
I have an embarrassing confession to make: I'm addicted to Real Housewives shows, and all things Bravo, really. So embarrassed of this am I that I have yet to write a RH-themed article for the site, despite what linkbait it could be. But I finally unleashed this addiction in full-force today, when I wrote Real Housewives of Your Favorite Shows.
Is it possible to be a geek and still enjoy Bravo? Or is it sacrilege? Look, I know RH shows are terrible and mindless, but that's exactly what I need some nights, after an especially mentally exhausting day. I just wanna watch b*tches argue about throwing lavish charity parties and not inviting each other, OK??
But you'd be surprised how much RH-esque drama you can spot on other shows sometimes ;-) Inspired by SNL's "Real Housewives of Disney," I did a little imagining of my own, you be the judge of the result… ;-)
If Walking Dead Zombies Were on Facebook…
…there'd be a whole lotta brain pics in your feed.
A message from Darth Vader.
Even a Sith Lord has to get his Bejeweled on.
Just designed this geeky Battlestar Galactica shirt for Comediva. Once you frak, you can't go back! ;-)
Some fun Photoshoppin' transpired this week when I collab'd with Luis Navarro on Lightsaber Duels That Should Have Happened! This one was my personal fave, but there are many good ones, including one of Dwight and Michael from The Office! Check it out.
I consider this under the category of "My Gifts to the World." Yes, hot, famous men, if they were made entirely of chocolate (click to see Brad Pitt, Chris Hemsworth, and more). Nom nom nom away.

SEBASTIAN -- The little yellow seafood market on Old Dixie Highway in Sebastian has all you need to make a great seafood dinner for the family.
Indian River Seafood Market, owned by Robert Twiss, has freshly caught fish, gulf shrimp and other fresh seafood to order or customers can prepare themselves, or they can take advantage of prepared dishes such as spicy conch salad, fish cakes, stuffed clams or lobster bisque.
Mr. Twiss' family owns The Fish Peddler, a retail market in Fort Lauderdale, and family wholesale contacts in New England allow him access to a large number and variety of seafood, which benefits Sebastian and Vero Beach seafood customers.
The prepared dishes only need be warmed before they are ready to eat, Mr. Twiss said.
The regular soups include conch chowder, Manhattan and New England clam chowders and lobster bisque.
The bisque is lightly seasoned, pink and creamy. Tiny chunks of lobster make the dish full-bodied and delicious.
"We also sometimes have a bouillabaisse that is out of this world," Mr. Twiss said.
Conch, shrimp, seaweed and tuna salads, as well as coleslaw, are also regularly available at the seafood market.
Right now, the market for stone crabs is quite large, as is the call for shrimp, Mr. Twiss said.
"It's all fresh, never frozen," he said.
The local fresh fish of choice at the moment is golden tilefish, but when the season opens up again, local snapper and grouper will be stocked, courtesy of local commercial fishermen.
"The snapper and grouper around here are as good as anywhere in the world," Mr. Twiss said.
Having the relationship with the retail store, which has a chef on staff, has proven very beneficial for Indian River County customer's dinner and dessert choices.
On the market's website are recipe suggestions from the chef and a link to sign up to receive "sea-mail," or email alerts for the new weekly specials, Mr. Twiss said.
The seafood market also sells fresh-made Key lime pies for the perfect ending to a delicious meal.
The pie filling is light and creamy, with a definite tart lime taste. The flavor tickles the taste buds who then beg for another bite, and then another. The firm crust isn't overly sweet, yet it takes a bit of the edge of the lime off.
Market hours are Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Indian River Seafood Market is located at 633 Old Dixie Highway, Sebastian. For more information, call (772) 589-8585 or visit www.indianriverseafoodmarket.com.

The National Labor Relations Board has found Springfield's Square One in violation of multiple unfair labor practices.
The board discovered that the childcare provider had unlawfully set up cameras and implemented other policies without notifying or bargaining with their employee's union.
A judge also found that Square One interrogated employees about their communications with their union reps, and unreasonably delayed responding to union information requests.
They also unlawfully fired an employee for signing a union card.
A judge ordered Square One to reinstate that employee along with other employees who were illegally excluded from coverage by the union contract since March of 2011.

Stonington — A fire that required firefighters to connect hoses to a hydrant a quarter-mile away badly damaged a home Thursday afternoon at 15 Collins Road.
When firefighters arrived on the scene of the 2:50 p.m. fire, heavy smoke was billowing from the roof of the brick home. Soon after, flames began shooting 15 feet into the air from the roof.
It took firefighters about an hour to bring the blaze under control, but not before it caused extensive damage to the rear and south end of the nine-room, 3,681-square-foot home.
Police said EMTs at the scene treated several firefighters for minor injuries, one for a hand injury and the others for heat-related problems.
Police said the homeowner, who had purchased the house in June, had left earlier in the afternoon and returned to find smoke coming from the house.
No one was in the house at the time of the fire.
Firefighters from Stonington borough, Wequetequock, Old Mystic, Quiambaug, Pawcatuck and the Naval Submarine Base responded to the scene, as well as Stonington and Mystic River Ambulance.
Fire Marshal George Brennan and police Detective Sgt. David Knowles began their investigation into the cause of the fire on Thursday afternoon.

Libor scandal mushrooms
Heads roll at Barclays as authorities investigate other banks for interest-rate manipulation.
The scandal surrounding Barclays PLC has already created turmoil in the British banking giant's executive suite -- but it could reach much further before it's resolved.
What is the Libor?
The London Interbank Offered Rate, or Libor, is a key short-term interest rate that reflects the rates that banks get when they borrow from each other day-to-day. The interbank borrowing is done by financial institutions looking to make profits or cover short-term liquidity shortfalls. The British Bankers' Association actually tracks a range of rates calculated daily for 10 major currencies and 15 borrowing periods -- from overnight to 12-month loans -- so 150 numbers are published every day: the overnight euro rate, the two-week Yen rate, the three-month New Zealand dollar rate, the 12-month U.S. dollar rate, etc.
How is the Libor set?
Thomson Reuters calculates and publishes the rate for the British Bankers' Association every day just after 11 a.m. The calculation of U.S. dollar Libor is based on data submitted every day, except for bank holidays, from a panel of 16 major financial institutions. The banks are asked to base their submission on this question: "At what rate could you borrow funds, were you to do so by asking for and then accepting inter-bank offers in a reasonable market size just prior to 11 am?" Thomson Reuters throws out the top and bottom quarter of submissions and averages the remaining eight to get the published rates. That process, however, means that Libor is based on the rates banks report they could get, not actual rates on real loans.
Why does the Libor matter?
Libor "is used to set interest rates on $350 trillion of dollars and euros of loans and other obligations globally," portfolio manager Michael Lewitt of Cumberland Advisors wrote in a note to clients this week. That's about $50,000 worth of financial instruments for every person on Earth. Libor plays a key role in global financial markets, underpinning the interest-rate derivatives traded by large institutions. And in addition to reflecting the rates that banks get from each other, Libor is also used to determine rates for some types of loans to consumers and businesses. "Adjustable-rate mortgages, student loans, some credit cards as well as small-business loans and corporate bond offerings can all be pegged to Libor," says Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com. In the United States, though, Libor is not the primary index for most loans, McBride notes. Still, if Libor is used as a global benchmark, the rate-rigging scandal calls into question the reliability of that benchmark -- an issue that had also gotten attention during the financial crisis -- and could potentially affect the interest rates many consumers pay.
What did Barclays do?
Last week, Barclays settled charges that it manipulated the Libor, and a similar rate called Euribor, for its own benefit by submitting falsified numbers as far back as 2005. According to the Financial Services Authority, Barclays derivatives traders routinely asked for submitters to help them profit from their trades by sending in numbers that were either higher or lower than they should have been. The regulator's report says Barclays submitted inaccurate rates "on numerous occasions" between January 2005 and July 2008 at the behest of at least 14 Barclays derivatives traders. "Barclays could have benefitted from this misconduct to the detriment of other market participants. Where Barclays acted in concert with other banks, the risk of manipulation increased materially," according to the FSA. At times, the Barclays traders also tried to influence the submissions of other banks, and passed along requests from their counterparts to Barclays submitters. After a Barclays submission was lower, as requested, one of those outside traders emailed their contact: "Dude. I owe you big time! Come over one day after work and I'm opening a bottle of Bollinger."
Then, during the financial crisis, after media reports questioned whether Barclays' higher submissions for dollar Libor indicated that the bank had a liquidity problem -- whether other banks were wary of lending it money -- the bank began sending in lowball numbers meant to ease concerns about its cost of borrowing. "At the height of the financial crisis, Libor was viewed by the markets as a key barometer of UK banks' financial health," writes Lewitt. "The higher a bank's Libor lending rate, the more fragile its financial condition was believed to be." The artificially low submissions were done at the direction of Barclays' senior management, according to U.S. and U.K. authorities.
In announcing the settlement with Barclays, the authorities made a point of noting the bank's "extraordinary cooperation" with their investigation. In light of that cooperation, the Justice Department agreed not to prosecute the bank if it meets its "ongoing obligations under the agreement" for two years.
How has Barclays been punished?
In settling the charges against Barclays, the U.K.'s Financial Services Authority (FSA) imposed a penalty of £59.5 million (about $92 million). The U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission ordered Barclays to pay a $200 million penalty, and the Justice Department imposed a $160 million penalty. In all, Barclays agreed to pay more than $450 million.
Were other banks involved?
"Barclays are not alone in this," Britain's chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said in a statement released last week. "The FSA is continuing to investigate the conduct of a number of other banks in relation to Libor… The investigations concern a number of institutions both based in the UK and overseas." Regulators in the U.K., U.S. and Asia are reportedly investigating potential rate-rigging by more than a dozen other financial giants. Some of the banks whose names have come up in connection to the investigation include Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), HSBC (HBC), the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and UBS (UBS).
Barclays and its ex-CEO certainly believe they weren't alone in fixing rates. "This isn't just Barclays," Diamond said at his hearing before Parliament's Treasury Select Committee. "Throughout 2007 and 2008, no institution of the 16 banks reporting three-month dollar Libor was at the higher end more consistently than Barclays." How far did the malfeasance go? "There appear to be mountains of evidence that the conduct in question was intentional and widespread, both within and among major banking institutions in the U.K. and likely the U.S.," Cumberland Advisors' Lewitt wrote. In the U.S., big banks including Barclays, Bank of America, Citigroup, Credit Suisse (CS), Deutsche Bank (DB), HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group (LYG), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Royal Bank of Scotland and UBS face lawsuits over the Libor manipulation. Those suits could end up costing more than any penalties imposed by regulators.
Who else could get caught up in this?
The scandal also threatens to tarnish financial authorities. Barclays employees had raised concerns with regulators in 2007 and 2008 that the Libor submissions from banks, including their own, might not accurately reflect the market. And documents released by Barclays suggested that the bank may have lowered its submission figures during the financial crisis in response to an October 2008 call from Paul Tucker, the deputy governor of the Bank of England, the country's central bank -- but in his appearance before Parliament on Wednesday, former CEO Diamond said he did not interpret the call that way. Tucker has requested a hearing to offer his version of the conversation and related events. He'll have his chance next week. In the meantime, a Bank of England spokesman said this week that, "It is nonsense to suggest that the Bank of England was aware of any impropriety in the setting of Libor."
What happens next?
Investigators will continue to probe the extent to which other banks were involved in rate-fixing. "If it was just one or two banks then the likelihood that there was any material impact on consumer or corporate borrowers was very, very slim," says McBride. "If it mushrooms into a situation where a multitude of financial institutions were complicit then it does far more than undermine the integrity of financial markets -- you're talking about real world dollar impact on borrowers around the globe." In the meantime, the British Bankers' Association, which said in a statement released last week that it was "shocked" by the report about rate-rigging, asked authorities to examine whether changes should be made to the process used for setting Libor.

I assume Billing isn't answering phones now. I thought verizon would have had some stand ins or something I want to cancel my Verizon service by Thursday, I have Comcast coming out on the Friday and dont want to have to call them up again to reschedule. ANyone actually managed to cancel?
They are answering, just be willing to wait on hold for a very, very long time before they do. You can cancel but you will more than likely have to pay a termination fee.
We havent been in contract since January so no fee.
I got somneone but when they sent me to billing I got nothing, no waiting tune, no automated message just silence,
I tried cancelling my service today and I just got a message stating no one could help me because of the strike.
Its so frustrating because my telephone service is intermittent at best, and the internet is always giving me a DNS error so I'm now paying verizon for absolutely nothing..
I just want to cancel so I dont have to keep paying them for terrible service.
Be persistant on getting credit, demand it. You should not pay a cent for a service when it's not working.
Hate to say it but with these people you have to be persistant. You cant just call once or be nice. Nothing will get done for you otherwise.
Well I finally got threw just for them to tell me they couldn't cancel the service because of a computer error and that I have to call back after i have Comcast installed. It's frustrating.
Please be advised, due to a work stoppage, customer service agents may not be readily available. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Doug I appreciate you taking the time to do reply to this, I know the workers picking up the slack for those on strike are having a rough time right now, but what I want to do is simple cancel my service it can only be done by phone by billing. Whom I spoke to and the woman got a computer error "I don't know what it is um... phone back when you get other services installed" .
I didnt think Verizon had places you could drop in? thats the **bleep**tiest part I have to MAIL the stuff back to them and they usually send boxes to collect it. Perhaps I will just leave it in store and walk away lol!
How can I ensure I don't get charged another 150 bucks & rental fees for equipment I cant return due to Verizon not having a clue how to treat employees? Can a rep answer me that?

Finch is an American post-hardcore band from Temecula, California. Finch began in the late 1990s, originally under the name Numb. It was thought that Numb was a Deftones cover band, though Finch has since denied this claim. Founding members included drummer Alex Pappas, guitarist Randy Strohmeyer, bassist Derek Doherty and vocalist Nate Barcalow. 2001 saw the release of their debut EP, "Falling Into Place" via Drive-Thru Records. The same year Finch released their debut album, "What It Is to Burn," which spawned the singles, "What It Is to Burn," "Letters to You" and "New Beginnings." The band faced some lineup changes for the recording of their second album, "Say Hell... Continue Bio >>

"Cafeteria Man" is a story of positive movement that shows what's possible in our nation's schools. It's about the aspiration of activists and citizens coming together to change the way kids eat at school. It's about overhauling a dysfunctional nutritional system. And, it's the story of what it takes, and who it takes, to make solutions happen.
Leading the charge to replace pre-plated, processed foods with locally-grown, freshly-prepared meals is Tony Geraci, food-service director for the city's public schools in Baltimore, Maryland. A charismatic chef from New Orleans, Geraci's bold vision includes school vegetable gardens, student-designed meals, meatless Mondays, and nutrition education in the classroom. Featuring Michael Pollan, First Lady Michelle Obama, and White House Chef Sam Kass. The film is directed by Emmy award-winner Richard Chisolm. The film is 65 minutes and suitable for middle school students and above.
The star of the film, Tony Geraci, will be present for a discussion after the screening. The screening and discussion will be followed by tours of the Edible Schoolyard garden and kitchen, which is attached to the MLK Jr. Middle School – plus a food demo with Chef Tony!

Solving gun violence in the US in today's insane political climate requires a solution that makes it painless for everyone.
First that this idea even needs to be broached in the first place is ridiculous especially given the lack of clarity in the second amendment (eg it does not specify types of arms so that should be handled by laws not as a "do what you will free for all").
That said it seems there are some major elements that would be necessary to reduce gun deaths in the US and there are some obfuscating interests embodied in the NRA that must be sidestepped or accommodated in the solution.
Four main areas of focus jump out to reduce gun deaths:
1) "mass killings" (included in this would be the 2 or 3 person shootings as well as as Newtown or Aurora types)
2) Accidental shootings
3) Non-owner shootings (eg the shooter is not the owner of the gun)
4) "black market" trading
Added to these I would say the parameter that makes gun control legislation difficult is gun manufacturer revenue stream protection using the second amendment as a shill.
So what are the necessary parameters to make something happen vs. the absurdity of what is going to happen over the next few months in Washington:
1) Figure out a way that shifting policy creates more revenue for gun manufacturers so they get the NRA on board
2) Make sure that guns cannot be used in public places or by someone other than their owner
The Idea - Mandatory gun locks and universal kill switches.
On locks, all responsible gun owners have gun safes. Why not move the lock to the gun's trigger mechanism either with a combination code or biometric locks. That would prevent unauthorized use of the gun by anyone but the owner.
On kill switches, in the same locking mechanism put a chip and actuator that freezes the locking mechanism mentioned above when it receives a certain modulated radio signal.
If mandatory then all existing guns will have to be refitted with the new bolt mechanism creating revenue streams for the gun manufacturers and on all new guns they can charge more creating more revenue.

Feb 7 2013: Tify
Well done, well put. You are absolutely correct. The strange thing is, is that people don't want to, resist, or and even, scoff at the truth, as in this case, holding those we follow. up to those standards, demanding and GETTING them to obey us/US, and just addressing the real causes, conditions and reasons for such things.
The reason for this? The American people, by and large, are close to 100% brainwashed into what they "think" they "believe".
Today, they are by and large what I term, "Manchurian Citizens".
They are mental robots. They have allowed themselves and have willingly accepted being rendered into the growing condition called, "Artificial Intelligence". In fact, William Casey, the head of the cia in 1981 said, "We will know when our program of disinformation is complete when every thing the American public believes, is false." With this as a guide, Americans should "not believe" one thing their leaders, of every kind, tell them, including their media, religions, and so on.
The main affect of brainwashing is a dulled ability to reason.
The next main effect is an impeded ability to act.
Thus, they believe what they are told to believe, they think what they are told to think, they say what they are told to say, and they do what they are told to do. Conversely,
They don't believe what they are told not to believe, they don't think what they are told not to think, they don't say what they are told not to say and they don't do what they are told not to do.
Mental robots with artificial intelligence.
Those two short paragraphs represent the "minutia" you mention that most get caught up in discussing, back and forth, without real progress or understanding because it leads them away from the truth.
This also prevails in many other topics, some too hot for here, as they are simply "too hot" anywhere because people have been brainwashed into believing they are, all the while holding to false information about them, as truth.
Americans worship lies.
Feb 7 2013: Finally the truth be told.
Those mindless Americans who have internal issues of law and responsibility have demonstrated on the world stage their lack of the real truth. Very astute. A hundred years ago our selfishness got us involved in a political misunderstanding in Europe. Our worship of lies probably led us to support the wrong side. Never mind the loss of American lives They were just cannon fodder.
It wasn't a generation later, that the situation in Europe came back and this time involved the whole world, at least that part in the temperate zones. Again, those brainwashed Americans got involved and after the loss of millions of lives world wide including Americans, it was resolved. But, did those lie worshiping Americans leave to go home? No, some stayed and helped the vanquished to regain their national heritage. Now those countries have regained a strong standing in the family of nations. Rather generous for a brainwashed country of liars.
Currently, America is undergoing a debate on issues that address their Constitution. The very source of their brainwashed lies. Now there are a number of people who are not Americans and are not bound by the American Constitution or owe allegiance to it who have strong opinions on it. I think that us brainwashed Americans liars should respect these opinions and give them every consideration in our discussions of our current conversations.
Feb 8 2013: Take a look at the real facts: America lowest deaths percentage of population WW1 .13% Canada had .92 and for WW2 again only .32% Canada .40% and their ally the Soviet Union 13.88% It's telling that you have to go back that far. The Soviet Union was quickly turned into their enemy to give an excuse to arm with nukes. This ritual of throwing former friends under the bus is very common, even unto today. Americans have a high self centered fraudulent opinion of themselves. It's not as if you helped us out for altruistic measures and got nothin' from it. Revisionism is rampant beyond Hollywood, too
Feb 8 2013: Revisionism? Bud...
Let see, you forgot to mention that the USA came late to the WWI party.
In WW2, US and the UK were allies, Canada as part of the UK did commit a greater
percentage of forces to England, but in actual numbers there were nearly half million US casualties and 50,000 in Canada. Are we really going to debate which country shed the most tears.
Stalin was invited to the allied party because the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Churchill wanted the Russians engaged with Germany to take the pressure off western Europe and England. Roosevelt was not happy with this situation but yielded to Churchill.
The USA was not a friend of the Soviet Union because of the American Communist Party.
creating internal unrest.
The development of the atom bomb was not a strategic development for the War but was a scientific curiosity. The creation of the bomb did not come about until Truman was faced with the invasion of Japan, The planners estimated over half million casualties both Japanese and American, the bomb was used to bring about the capitulation of Japan without the invasion.
You didn't list former friends under the bus, so?
Then I am not sure how self opinion is fraudulent nor can I address help given to the "us"
as altruistic or whatever gains the USA got.
For me, WW2 was not history to revise, but current events.
But what does any of this have to do with ending gun violence in the USA in this polarized
political climate?
Do you just want to say something regardless of appropriateness? You've done it.

Library and Archives Canada has one of the richest Canadian directory collections in the world. The collection includes Canadian national, provincial/territorial, county and city directories, primarily of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, in paper, microform and electronic formats.
In order to provide improved access to the wealth of information contained in the directories, Library and Archives Canada has undertaken a partnership with the Canadian Institute of Historical Microreproductions (CIHM) to digitize a growing selection of pre-1901 volumes. These volumes can be consulted by selecting Search the database.
The History of Directory Publishing page is a concise essay outlining the development and historical role of directories as well as their use to modern-day genealogists, historians and researchers.
To help contextualize these directories, we provide CityScapes - a section which provides brief social histories of the cities featured in our database. In the current phase of this project, we focus on Ottawa and Halifax, where comprehensive directory coverage is offered for the first time in Canada. This section will grow as we add more directories, and will ultimately feature a wider national coverage.
The Library and Archives collection of print and microform directories is housed in the Reference Room of Library and Archives Canada, 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa, and is available for on-site consultation. Directories are not available for interlibrary loan. Photocopying of original directories is not permitted, although prints can be made from microform copies, for a fee.
Library and Archives Canada has published a bibliography of its Canadian directory collection, entitled:
