The ONS has recently published Long-Term International Migration (LTIM) estimates for the year to December 2012. LTIM is the most comprehensive estimate of long-term migrants entering and leaving the UK. A long-term migrant is defined as someone who changes their country of usual residence for a period of at least a year. This summary looks at: the latest estimates of immigration, emigration and net migration, who is migrating to the UK, why they are migrating and where people are migrating to and from.
What are the latest migration estimates?
The latest provisional migration estimates (published 29 August 2013) show estimates of long-term immigration, emigration and net migration for the UK.
Total long-term immigration to the UK was 497,000 in the year to December 2012, significantly lower than the 566,000 estimated in the year to December 2011.
Total long-term emigration from the UK was 321,000 in the year to December 2012, significantly lower than the 351,000 estimated in the year to December 2011.
Net long-term migration to the UK was 176,000 in the year to December 2012, down slightly, but not significantly, from 215,000 in the year to December 2011.
Changes in net migration are caused by changes in immigration and/or emigration. Between the year to September 2011 and the year to September 2012, net migration declined because of a fall in immigration. However, the latest estimate indicates that this decline has not continued: net migration was 176,000 in the year to December 2012, compared to 153,000 in the year to September 2012. This slight increase is due to falling emigration and steady immigration for these two overlapping periods.
Total long-term international migration estimates, UK, 2002–2012
- Figures for YE Mar 12, YE Jun 12, YE Sep 12 and YE Dec 12 are provisional.
- Up to YE Dec 09, data are only available at six month intervals.

Who is migrating to the UK?
An estimated 260,000 non-EU citizens arrived to live in the UK in the year to December 2012, which is 52% of all immigrants. From within the EU, 155,000 EU citizens (excluding British) migrated to the UK in the year ending December 2012, similar to the estimate of 174,000 the previous year. Of these citizens, 58,000 were citizens of the countries that joined the EU in May 2004: Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia, known collectively as the EU8.
Why are people migrating?
Work-related reasons and formal study are now almost equal as the most common reasons for migrating to the UK. Study has been the most common reason for migrating to the UK since 2009, but the number of people arriving for this reason has been falling since the year to September 2011. In the year to December 2012, an estimated 180,000 people migrated to the UK for study, which is significantly lower than the 232,000 people who arrived to study 12 months previously.
Meanwhile, the number of people arriving for work-related reasons has broadly remained the same. In the year to December 2012, an estimated 179,000 people migrated to the UK for work-related reasons, compared to 184,000 12 months previously. Of these people, 112,000 (63%) arrived for a definite job.
Where are people migrating from ?
Estimates of where people are migrating from or intend to emigrate to for 2012 will be published on 28 November 2013, so this section refers to the 2011 estimates. The top five countries of origin of immigrants to the UK (including what percentage of all immigration to the UK they accounted for) in 2011 were: India (12%), China (8%), Pakistan (8%), Poland (6%) and Australia (5%).
There was a significant increase in the numbers of migrants coming to the UK from China, from 29,000 in 2010 to 44,000 in 2011. The majority (40,000) of these intended to study in the UK. There has also been an increase in the number of migrants from Pakistan, to 43,000 in 2011, with 30,000 arriving to study. Over the last five years, fourth and fifth places in the ranking have fluctuated between Australia, Germany, the USA, Pakistan and China.
Where are people intending to emigrate to?
The top five countries of destination for emigrants from the UK (including what percentage of all emigration from the UK they accounted for) in 2011 were: Australia (15%), India (7%), USA (7%), Poland (6%) and France (6%). Australia remains the most popular country of destination for emigrants from the UK. In 2011, final estimates show that 49,000 emigrants from the UK intended to live in Australia. Of this number, 36,000 were British citizens.
There was an increase in emigration to India between 2010 and 2011, from 15,000 to 23,000. This increase made India the joint second most common country to emigrate to in 2011, alongside the USA. Poland was the second most common destination in 2008 at 50,000, but now shares fourth place with France, each with 20,000 emigrants leaving the UK in 2011.
Where can I get more information about migration?
These statistics were analysed by the Migration Statistics Unit at the ONS. Long-Term International Migration estimates are based largely on data from the International Passenger Survey, carried out by the ONS.

El Paso, TX (KTSM) — Early voting began today in Texas.
This election is the first where Texas voters will need to follow the state's voter ID laws when they cast their vote.
A new website – www.GotIDTexas.org – is making it easy for voters to know what they need to vote, how to get it, and where they can vote this Election Day.
"Voting is our right, and we want everyone to know what they need to vote," said Phillip Martin, Deputy Director for Progress Texas.
For over a month, dozens of civic engagement groups across Texas have made phone calls, knocked on doors, and alerted their membership about what is required of the new voter ID law.
The mobile-friendly site has received over 10,000 hits before voting even started, and contains information in English and in Spanish.
The site was built by the Texas Research Institute and Progress Texas, and is a project of Empower the Vote Texas, the Texas Civic Engagement Table, and the Got ID Texas coalition.

President Obama spoke over the phone with Organizing For Action activists Nov. 18, asking them to spend the holidays promoting his unpopular health care plan.
"As we go into this holiday season, we have to remember the conversations that we've got around the dinner table, when we're talking to co-workers at a Christmas party, when we're out there in our communities, our churches, our synagogues, all our places of worship, now is the time to remind people that look, we've got to make sure that everybody takes advantage of the opportunity to get affordable care for the first time," Obama said.
Obama claimed he was "taking responsibility" for the problems with healthcare.gov, which he acknowledged were feeding some of the doubts and misinformation about the program.
"Eventually, its going to be the easiest place to shop for health care," Obama said, reminding his most loyal followers that more than 12 million people have visited the site since it's launch.
Obama also said he was confident that the website would be functioning for the "vast majority of folks" by the end of November, but that supporters should continue finding other ways to enroll people.
"We've always understood that we're gonna have to enroll people by mail, we're going to have to enroll people over the phone, we're going to have to enroll people in person," Obama said.
Obama thanked the activists on the call for their work on his behalf during and following his 2012 re-election campaign:
"You guys have lifted me up and lifted each other up at every step of the way, and I know that you're going to keep on doing that."

SAN FRANCISCO Call him, Señor October.
Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval joined the legends of baseball Wednesday and powered an 8-3 Giants win over the Detroit Tigers by hitting three home runs in the first game of the 2012 World Series.
That Sandoval hit two of those home runs off Tigers starter Justin Verlander, perhaps baseball's most dominant pitcher, added luster to an amazing personal achievement in a series where the Giants are or maybe were decided underdogs.
"(Sandoval) had one of the most unbelievable World Series nights that they'll be talking about for years," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland. "I tip my hat to him."
Only 26, the portly native of Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, joins none other than Babe Ruth on the short list of men to hit three homers in a World Series game.
Also on the list: Albert Pujols, who now plays first base for the Los Angeles Angels and is certain to be enshrined one day at Cooperstown. And Reggie Jackson, the New York Yankees slugger, already in baseball's Hall of Fame, who in 1977 hit three home runs in one series game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It earned Jackson the nickname "Mr. October."
Enter, Señor October.
"I still can't believe it, man," said Sandoval with his trademark smile.
It wasn't just the home runs. It was the way Sandoval hit them.
In the first inning, Verlander had two strikes on Sandoval and came at him with a 95 mph fastball. For most hitters, that spells a dismal walk back to the dugout. Sandoval crushed the pitch more than 400 feet to straightaway center field.
Verlander, so dominant last week while eliminating the New York Yankees, looked shocked as Sandoval rounded the bases.
It set the tone for the Giants onslaught to come. In the third inning, Verlander seemed offended when his pitching coach came out to confer with him as Sandoval waited to hit.
A little caution would have been prudent, because when Verlander came back with that 95 mph fastball, Sandoval crushed it again this time to left field.
Verlander was soon gone, but no matter. Sandoval victimized his replacement right-handed reliever Al Alburquerque with another home run to center field.
No player has ever hit four home runs in a World Series game and a happy groan went through the park when Sandoval hit a single in his final at-bat.
When asked for detailed explanations for his postseason success, Sandoval was, well, pure Sandoval.
"I don't look for nothing, I just swing," he said. "I just try to follow the pitch."
Why are he and other Giants hitters suddenly destroying the opposition, when only recently they couldn't buy a hit? "We're just having fun," Sandoval said.
Sandoval is the clown prince of the Giants: the happy prankster and surrogate big brother to rookie catcher and fellow Venezuelan Hector Sanchez. When the moment called for a Giants player to get a cream pie in the face, Sandoval was usually Pablo on the Spot.
After a bitter loss, Sandoval is there with a smile and a manly assurance to the media that the Giants will be fine he and his teammates can get the opposition tomorrow.
He always seems surprised at the large group of media massed around his locker. "Are you waiting for me guys?" he'll ask without a hint of sarcasm while hiking up too-tight jeans, snapping on his diamond earring, and fastening an enormous watch to his wrist.
It's who he is. Some players smile with their mouths but not their eyes. Not "The Panda."
Listed at 5-11 and 240 pounds, Sandoval seems heavier. A substantial boiler hangs over his belt and there is an endearing quality when he is called upon by events of the game to move that big body around the bases with great haste.
For good and bad, Sandoval's weight is a reflection of the total package a virtuoso hitter in the body of an apprentice sumo wrestler.
There were times during the 2012 season when the Giants were stern with their occasionally wayward son. Giants manager Bruce Bochy had more than one heart-to-heart where he put it to Sandoval in blunt terms: He was too big. His work ethic was questioned. He needed to buckle down.
He spent significant parts of the season injured or struggling to regain his form.
Then last week, Sandoval began hitting and was a major factor in the Giants beating the St. Louis Cardinals in their come-from-behind National League championship.
He seems a world apart from the guy the Giants benched in the 2010 World Series because he wasn't hitting or fielding well.
Those days seem long gone.
"I couldn't be happier for him," said Bochy. "To watch that, I'll never forget it."

Benchmade Knives: Osborne Design Plain Edge Folding Knife 585
6 out of 6 people found this product review helpful.
Solid EDC knife...
I have had this knife for about two years and carry it every day. I can't recommend it highly enough. The belt clip is strong and hasn't bent. The blade is tough and holds an edge, but is still easy to sharpen. The assisted opening feature is great and the lock is quick to learn. After two years of daily use all the screws are still tight. I have no complaints, and if this ever wears out (which it doesn't look like it will) I will buy another.

We'll never lose again!
You know... if Dwayne Roloson, Mathieu Garon, and JDD weren't real human beings but were deck chairs instead, I might just recommend seeing what assets (however small) could be picked up for Garon + JDD and put in a claim on the one goalie to rule them all.

Melanoma of the eye
Melanoma of the eye is cancer that occurs in various parts of the eye.
Alternative Names
Malignant melanoma - choroid; Malignant melanoma - eye; Eye tumor; Ocular melanoma
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Melanoma is a very aggressive type of cancer that can spread rapidly.
Melanoma of the eye can affect several parts of the eye, including the:
- Choroid
- Ciliary body
- Conjunctiva
- Eyelid
- Iris
- Orbit
The choroid layer is the most likely location of melanoma in the eye.
The cancer may only be in the eye, or it may spread (metastasize) to another location in the body, most commonly the liver. Melanoma can also begin on the skin or other organs in the body and spread to the eye.
Melanoma is the most common type of eye tumor in adults. Even so, primary melanoma of the eye is rare.
Excessive exposure to sunlight is an important risk factor. The occurrence of melanoma has greatly increased in recent decades. Fair-skinned and blue-eyed people are most often affected.
- Bulging eyes
- Change in iris color
- Poor vision in one eye
- Red, painful eye
- Small defect on the iris or conjunctiva
In some cases, there may be no symptoms.
Signs and tests
An eye examination with an ophthalmoscope may reveal a single round or oval lump (tumor) in the eye.
Tests may include:
- Cranial CT scan to look for spread (metastasis) to the brain
- Eye ultrasound
- MRI of the head to look for metastasis to the brain
- Skin biopsy if there is an affected area on the skin
Small melanomas may be treated with lasers, brachytherapy, or radiation therapy.
Surgical removal of the eye (enucleation) may be necessary.
Chemotherapy or biological therapy (interferon) are considered less effective therapies for melanoma involving the eye.
Support Groups
For additional resources, see cancer support group.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outcome for melanoma of the eye depends on the size of the cancer at the time of diagnosis. Most patients will survive at least 5 years from the time of diagnosis if the cancer has not spread outside the eye.
If the cancer has spread outside the eye, the chance of survival is much lower.
- Distortion or loss of vision
- Retinal detachment
- Spread of the tumor to other areas of the body
Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of melanoma of the eye.
The most important way to prevent eye melanoma is to avoid excessive exposure to sunlight, especially between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun's rays are most intense. Wear sunglasses, and be sure they have ultraviolet protection.
A yearly eye exam is recommended.

Rate Dr. Jeffrey E. Galpin
Dr. Jeffrey E. Galpin's Ratings
Worst experience I've ever had in a medical office. I waited over 3.5 hours past my appointment time for a physical. Waited so long that the X-ray techs and lab techs all went to lunch. So, I had to come back a separate time to get my bloodwork/x-rays done. Then he insisted I come back for a follow up to discuss results, when every other Doctor just calls you. It's a 100% covered service and I get a bill from him for over $300. I call to fix it and get sent back and forth between billing (off-site) and his office. Then they tell me it's a coding issue and the Doctor does his own coding. So, I ask to speak with him and he refuses. I finally call my insurance carrier who was able to resolve the problem. Then Dr. Galpin's office calls me and says they fixed the billing issue but that I am no longer weclome as a patient. Quality!

To the people who said he fell asleep, he found out that he had sleep apenea and had that fixed. I told him about the reviews falling asleep and that's when he told me. He's doing a good job on me. I went to a dermatoligist and he was telling me it was something that it was not. As soon as Dr Galpin saw me he knew what was wrong ans sterted fixing the problem. This Dr knows what hes doing so if you need help , he's the man.

Dr. Galphin absolutely saved my sister's life. We've been seeing him for ten years after the doctors in our state told us that she should just eat right and exercise as there was no hope that she would live more than a couple of years. Dr. Galphin assured us that he would find an answer AND he did! She is alive and very healthy today...even became a nurse. To those of you who have negative reviews, perhaps you're just one of those people no one can please.

this is an AWFUL crook doctor! do NOT GO TO DR.GALPIN unless you want to be scammed out of hundreds of dollars. first of all like the reviewer noted below, he falls asleep during examination. Im not sure if this is related to his health ailment, but maybe this is not the right profession if that is the case? Not only is it unprofessional how can you fully assess your patient and his/her condition if you are constantly falling asleep? Second, he performs unnecessary lab tests EACH AND EVERYTIME u see him! even if you are perfectly fine (as the other reviewer noted as well) why does he do the SAME tests for everyone? its ridiculous. i thought it was just me but it appears this is common practice for him. He also owns the lab which does the tests (labcorp) which means more money in his pocket. He is a dishonest money hungry doctor who is looking to scam patients. DO NOT GO TO GALPIN! he does not stay awake during consults & he uses lab tests to scam u!
Submitted June 2, 2009 | flag
Dr. Galpin would be a better doctor if he stayed awake during exams. He always has to do lab even if your doing good. My friend and I both go to Dr. Galpin for different reasons and we compare notes, he orders the same test for both of us. I think it may be because of the extra insurance money he collects. He collects the portion your that your insurance doesn't cover before he even submits the claim which is ILLEGAL. I have been demanded to pay money or not be seen by the doctor through Robin his biller, she will talk to you like your trash, she demands payment immediately and will tell you in front of everyone. I have had money owed to me (for overpayment) by the doctors office and have to wait until I get my E.O.B.'s and then call the office and request a refund.

As an L.A. Times article in his office says, he was on an iron lung for polio as a child. Still in a wheelchair today; his legs frequently fracture. I've no complaints about waits or punctuality. Having been involved with AIDS research, Dr. G. is part of a team putting some study numbers behind the long-theorized cytokine changes across the CFIDS spectrum, and despite being "atypical," in '07 I lit his new panel up like a Xmas tree. He'd also called off his last treatment "trial" because it didn't look promising, which says something. Dr. G is conservative but scientific; he can't cure your CFIDS/ME since we're not there yet, but he will test, troubleshoot, monitor, and otherwise help you to the best of his ability - and that includes not feeding holistic crap or "real" medicine's last-ditch measures like Gamma Globulin that could backfire. He's one who's taught me that trust is one of the best drugs a doctor can deliver - well worth the wait.

Dr. Galpin is an excellent physician whom I would recommend highly. He is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and truly dedicated to his patients. Yes, he does run behind schedule, but only because he gives every patient his undivided attention. His front and back office staff are top notch too. They don't make doctors like him any more!

Investor Mark Cuban discusses Cycloramic with Bruno Francois, the founder of Egos Ventures. YouTube
The UpTake: Cycloramic had already been downloaded 600,000 times when the app's developer visited Shark Tank, and now it looks like that was just the beginning.
Sixty minutes after the makers of Cycloramic, an app that uses haptic feedback to take panoramic photographs appeared on Shark Tank they had 100,000 new downloads at between $0.99 and $1.99 per download. Thanks in large part to the enthusiasm of eagle eye of investor Mark Cuban.
"I would have never imagined the immediate impact the Shark Tank had on the download and the website," app developer Bruno Francois, told 9to5 Mac on Friday. "We saw a little increase in activity shortly before the show as the companies and preview were announced. As soon as our segment started, the downloads skyrocketed."
Although Francois, whose Atlanta, Georgia-based company, Egos Ventures, was founded in 2012, only asked for $90,000, Cuban jumped at the investment offering $500,000 at a $3 million valuation. During Francois's pitch he said the app was selling for $0.99 per download, but it is currently listed at $1.99 per download.
In addition to Cycloramic, Ego Ventures, is experimenting with Trackoramic, an iPhone controlled keyboard that could be used with FaceTime, according to their site.

For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

'Scared for my life'
Melissa Khan had just finished helping a customer at the Vidor convenience store where she's worked for the last decade when she looked out the front window just in time to see a white pickup truck barreling toward her at top speed in the early evening hours of Good Friday, April 6.
"I thought I was going to die," a shaken Khan told The Examiner. "He came flying in here like an airplane."
What Khan had witnessed was just a fraction of the saga she would soon see unfold in the parking lot of the 420 S. Main Street business.
"I'm thinking to myself – what is going on? What is happening here," Khan explained. "Then he just plowed into a truck that was here waiting for a parking spot. It sounded really bad. I was so shocked someone would do that."
The altercation continued.
"Not even a few seconds later, the guy gets out of his truck running at the guy he just hit. As soon as I saw him, I knew it was Rodger Allen, and he was enraged. Then, there's gunshots.
"That's when I thought, 'Oh, my God. He's coming for me next.'"
Khan's next move was to run and lock the front door of the business. Before she could turn the latch, however, the store clerk was met at the entranceway by a man covered in blood. She vividly remembers the words he spoke.
"He said, 'Call 9-1-1. I had to shoot him.'"
Shots fired
A police report filed at the Orange County District Attorney's Office details the incident now ingrained in the mind of a traumatized Khan. According to investigating officer L.B. Cupit of the Vidor Police Department, the driver of the truck Khan saw speeding down Main Street was, in fact, 62-year-old Rodger Allen.
Other facts remain consistent between Khan's recollection of events and the officer's report. Allen was found to be driving at a high rate of speed when he rammed his truck into that of his former stepson, Kelly Gene Mitchell, who was in the parking lot of the Main Street store called Super Star Store. And Allen did leave his truck after the crash and advance toward Mitchell.
What happened next, according to Mitchell's statement to police, is that "(Mitchell) got out of his truck and came around the door with the AR15 (.223 caliber rifle) in his hands. … As he got to the edge of the door, (Allen) was coming after him and he fired the AR15 from his waist, he didn't remember how many times he fired, he just fired until (Allen) stopped coming."
Mitchell then quit firing and went to ask Khan for help.
"He was hurt," Khan said of Mitchell, "but I was too scared at the time to let him in. I had thought (Allen) had done the shooting. When I realized people were hurt and I had to help, I grabbed some paper towels and went outside. (Mitchell) just said someone was shot, not that someone was dead."
Allen drew his last breath while Khan looked on in horror. But according to the store clerk, this wasn't the first incident where Allen was in a physical altercation at the store."(Allen) came in here a few months ago and beat up a man that works here. On his way out, he said he'd come back and shoot us all," Khan said. "I believed he'd do it, too. Anyone ballsy enough to come into a store and fistfight the manager while (the manager's) little son watches is likely to do anything."
There are connections/friends in the highest of places in this case. Someone HAD friends that are still there after many years.
Truth...his wife bought the business with her own money. Secondly money was never the problem. The problem was that Rodger could not stand to see Kelly and his wife company succeed. He had threaten their lives since he sold business. Why the police never intervened through all this and took his threats is not understood. I just pray that they will for any other citizens. They are here to protect. That is the Gods honest truth.
You don't know everything!
MoneyChangesEveryone: You sound very bitter. Sounds like the Texas Rangers need to investigate here if the allegations you make have any ring of truth to them. Dave Shows was simply stating facts to the media. No one disputes the fact that the stepdad intentionally rammed his truck into the stepson's vehicle. That is intent to assault/murder. The stepdad got what he asked for.
Your allegations that the stepson was not paying his debt to stepdad did not justify stepdad trying to kill stepson first. Not all debts are forgiven upon death. If you know so much inside knowledge, you need to go over the Orange County DA's office with it. Kelly may be a hothead and a lot of other unsavory things, but stepdad pushed his luck for the last time and got just what he deserved.-
Money talks and shoots
The fact is the Kelly wasn't paying for the trucking company he says he 'bought' from Mr. Allen. He also used Mr. Allen's credit to spend about $40000 of Mr. Allen's money. Guess if you kill someone, you don't have to pay what you owe him. Sounds to me like the police chief of Vidor has his mind made up and plans on seeing Kelly go free. Maybe he should look into why Kelly would really benefit from killing the man. Maybe the Examiner could look into the money trail. And ask the DPS why there were bullet holes in Kelly's truck windshield...going OUT, not in.
bullet hole...not
The hole in the window was from the rear view mir ror pulling away from the shattered glass. Not a bullet hole! You need to get your facts straight because what you just stated is horse cap!!!
how many cops where called to
how many cops where called to break up during the day or they would both go to jail and it was all a set up for kelly to shoot that peace of shit in the first place roger always had a gun on him and a knife just for that.just so happends he had nothing on him ,so he thought would just wound him but lifs a bitch so live with it.
Well finally someone catches
Well finally someone catches on......Yes Yes and Yes.....the whole family knows of someones son that works in the DA's office....Sherry and Fred are good friends with the Bonnie and Roger Allen and they have a son that works in the DA's office.. so im sure strings will be pulled and mommy will bail kelly out like always....Also that is why they were never busted for running the game rooms in Vidor..because Bonnie always said that Sherry would let her know if they were about to bust a game room especialy hers...ITS ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY!!!!!! Every Dog Has Their Day!!!!!
Rodger had a game room on Hwy 12 at time of death and as far as Fred & Sherry, their son works for a company that ships supplies to off-shore drilling companies. So whoever you are, obviously don't know anything! The truth will come out!!! I'm praying for your deranged mind!
Allen Propensity for Violence
I checked publicdata.com for Mr. Allen. He plead guility in January of this year to assault and had to pay about 1400 dollars restitution. Only God knows what he would have done to that fella if he had not been shot. Also I'm curious if Allen was friends with the cops/DA, why wasn't he indicted for making a terroristic threat?

Did the bedbugs bite? Remedies' claims may be bogus
After shooting down ad claims for bedbug and lice treatments, the FTC settles 2 cases for more than $4.6 million. Plus: Where to find information you can trust.
The idea of using natural ingredients to fend off bedbugs and head lice might sound appealing, particularly to those who would prefer to avoid toxic chemicals in their battle against icky things that feast on people.
So, when consumers saw ads that the nontoxic concoction was created for the Army, recognized by Department of Agriculture as the top bio-based pesticide, and noted that the Environmental Protection Agency recommended that people avoid chemicals to fight bedbugs, you could see how the claims could make the product quite alluring.
Unfortunately, though, the claims by the marketers of the Best Yet cedar-oil treatments weren't true, according to the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC last year sued those behind the Best Yet brand as well as those behind the Rest Easy brand, which was sold at Bed Bath & Beyond, Walgreens, and Big Lots. Rest Easy's principals settled their case last year.
However, some of those behind Best Yet, which cost nearly $30 for a quart of its potion and more than $3,000 for a hotel-sized package, just settled, the FTC said.
The FTC said the claims about the product could not be supported, claims about scientific studies were false, claims that the natural treatments were more effective than chemical ones were false, the claims about the EPA were false, and so were those about the Army and the Department of Agriculture.
Bottom line: The government said pretty much everything in the ads was made up.
Under the settlement, a judge imposed a $4.6 million judgment against the company owner Dave Glassel, who apparently is bankrupt. And the company, Chemical Free Solutions, was ordered to pay more than $185,000, but can't, the FTC said.
Additional defendants in the case are still facing FTC charges, including Springtech 77376, Cedar Oil Technologies, and Cedarcide Industries.
The FTC has a page of tips for those who are concerned about bedbugs or are dealing with an infestation.

The fight started at an ice cream truck, but neighbors say kids in two families have been fighting for weeks, so when a father stepped in and said tell your kids to leave mine alone, someone pulled out a gun.
"I heard six, seven gunshots," said neighbor Brittany Koppman.
Police say bullying could have caused a fight that put a loving father, Mason Pannell, in the hospital with several gunshot wounds. Neighbors say four siblings were targeted by several kids on the same street. Pannell asked parents of those children to get control of their kids.
"We just couldn't believe it. They started fighting and pushing and shoving and then all of a sudden that guy come out with his gun and he started shooting," said a witness.
"The girlfriend flew down the street. There was blood all over the side of the car. Hurried up and rushed him to the hospital," Koppman explained.
Police say a woman supporting Pannell had a gun, but dropped it. Pannell picked it up and when one of the other parents saw that, they say he shot Pannell several times.
"I took two of the kids that were in the car with blood all over it over to my house and gave them each a juice box and a hug and told them that your daddy will be fine," the witness told us.
Police say the shooter is in custody and could be arraigned as early as Wednesday.

Insurance commissioners are typically among the least-known, least-publicized officials in state government. Last month, one commissioner found a way to make news: Without warning, he resigned.
David Black (pictured, right) had only served as director of the South Carolina Department of Insurance for 10 months before he announced his resignation in an email to colleagues on Dec. 28. Black's e-mail offered little explanation for the timing of his announcement.
"After reflection," he wrote, "I decided last week it would be best for me to resign as Director of the Agency."
Black has yet to give a more thorough account, and the state government hasn't provided any answers, either. The suddenness of Black's departure and the silence that followed have left the curious to speculate on what led to his decision. Local observers are quick to point out that Black's agency had become embroiled in controversy in the weeks prior to his exit.
In March, Black was among 12 panelists tasked with determining how the state would implement a health insurance exchange, a crucial aspect of federal health care reform. The panel was supposed to be an independent body studying whether South Carolina's exchanges should be established by federal or state officials. But the independence of the panel and its findings have been severely undermined.
A Dec. 14 report in the Charleston Post and Courier found that Gov. Nikki Haley and her staff attempted to dictate the panel's findings before the group even met. In an e-mail to a committee member who wrote much of the panel's final report, Haley (pictured, right) wrote, "The whole point of this commission should be to figure out how to opt out and how to avoid a federal takeover, NOT create a state exchange." Haley's influence over the group – which ultimately followed her orders, recommending that the state not create its own exchange – looked even more suspicious because the governor's office failed to disclose the e-mails after a request from the Post and Courier. The messages only surfaced when the paper made a separate records request to another state agency.
Following the story's publication, Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin sent a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General, asking for an investigation into whether Haley's administration had misused part of the $1 million federal grant used to fund the panel.
"Spending taxpayer funds to construct an ideologically-motivated façade not only violates Congress's intent, but also the public's trust in government," Harkin wrote.
Only a week after Harkin's letter, David Black resigned his post. Black told Cynthia Williams, another participant on the insurance panel, that he had not received instructions from Haley and had tried to do his job in an honorable way. But, as Williams said at the time of Black's resignation, the publishing of Haley's e-mails had "cast a pall over the whole thing."
Black's brief tenure in South Carolina government is a powerful lesson in the value of an independent insurance commissioner, and what happens when that independence is tarnished by political influence.

Liquid-mirrors are slowly replacing conventional mirrors in the world's major telescopic observatories. What sounds like a strange idea is actually a giant step forward in observing power. We looked at this topic a year ago but much has happened in the field since early 2010.
The simplest way to explain exotic mirror technology for use in telescopes is thus: a liquid reflective metal, such as mercury, is spin in a container around an axis. The liquid must be 99.99 percent free of impurities and its surface must be dust free to be effective for deep-sky observing. As the liquid metal rotates, its shape can be altered for the purpose of focusing. So, when astronomers get just the right shape for their fluid mirror, they can focus it on distant starlight as good as-and sometimes better than-a conventional glass mirror. These mirrors are used for narrowband (zenith) telescopes.
Land-based liquid-mirror telescopes (LMTs) use either mercury or liquid gallium alloys in very tiny amounts-up to a millimeter in thickness. While these liquid metals are toxic, the small amounts used are protected and present no overt hazard to observers.
At the heart of a liquid-mirror scope is a cylindrical vessel made of kevlar that holds the liquid. This vessel is spun so that the mercury (or other liquid metal) assumes a paraboloid; this is accomplished via a motor that rotates the vessel up to several revolutions per minute (rpm). Looking at a liquid mirror, you'd be fooled at first glance-its shape looks exactly like a conventional telescope mirror.
The real advantage of a LMT over a glass-mirror telescope is its low manufacturing cost; the cost of a large liquid mirror telescope is nearly 95 percent less than a conventional mirror scope. Unlike conventional mirrors, liquid-metal mirrors do not have to be cast, ground, and polished; this fact alone eliminates considerable time and labor in construction.

Morinaga, a leading international confectionary company that specializes in making milk caramels, chocolates, cookies and other sweet treats, is adding a facility in Orange County.
The company plans to create 90 jobs and invest $48 million over the next three years.
Gov. Pat McCrory and the North Carolina Commerce Sharon Decker made the jobs announcement Tuesday.
"Morinaga's decision to locate in Orange County will mean more North Carolina products being sold in the global marketplace," said McCrory.
Morinaga products include milk caramel, chocolates, cookies, foodstuffs such as cocoa mix, and frozen desserts such as ice cream sandwiches and sundae cups. North Carolina activities will primarily consist of blending syrup, sugar, flavorings and other ingredients to produce soft candy.
Salaries will vary by job function, but total payroll is estimated to be more than $3.4 million plus benefits.
The project was made possible in part by a performance-based grant from the One North Carolina Fund of up to $264,000. The One NC Fund provides financial assistance, through local governments, to attract business projects that will stimulate economic activity and create new jobs in the state.

Beyond #LoveCapeTown: Popping out to Paternoster
I'm a big fan of Cape Town. I've had the luxury of living in a few other cities so I feel I can make a fair comparison, but every so often I need to get out of the Mother City. Recently, I picked Paternoster as my weekend destination, and before my girlfriend even had time to say "It's the weekend!", we were off.
Tourist in My Own City: The V&A Waterfront Dine-About
Living in Cape Town, I've always used the V&A Waterfront as a quick shopping stop - a meal, groceries, new shirts, etc. Thus when I was recently invited to a dine-about at three of the Waterfront's top restaurants, I leapt at the opportunity to try something a little different, and a lot more fun.
Winelands with a twist
I have an obsession with doing things differently, which normally makes me really annoying to travel with, but occasionally I find something really cool, like my long weekend in the Robertson Winelands with my girlfriend.

TEAMS: Colorado Avalanche
Via Larry Brown Sports:
The Colorado Avalanche have played only three games this season, but center John Mitchell looks like he is preparing for Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. We're not referring to his play, which has been solid so far with two goals and two assists through three games. We're talking about his face.
As you can see from the photo above that Mike Chambers of the Denver Post shared on Twitter, Mitchell's face is quickly starting to look like he rolled off a jagged 40-foot cliff and somehow survived the fall. According to Chambers, the 28-year-old left Thursday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets after taking a puck to the forehead on his second shift of the game. The gash required 10 stitches to close, but Mitchell was able to return to the game and score an insurance goal in the third period to put Colorado up 3-0 en route to a 4-0 victory.
"I could see out of both eyes. I knew I was cut, obviously, but I could see," Mitchell said after the game. "It's always nice when you have a significant injury, you get stitched up and you come back. I just wanted to come back and try and help the team out any way I could. Scoring a goal is obviously a bonus."
So that covers the forehead, but what about the rest? During Colorado's season-opener on Jan. 19, Mitchell got cut on the nose while scoring the team's first goal of the season in a loss to the Minnesota Wild. Then on Tuesday, he chipped a tooth during a win over the LA Kings.
While Mitchell's injuries may not be as bad as the ones caused by this skate to the face or this skate to the forehead, it's obvious the guy can't catch a break. At this point, he'd probably like to go just one game without having to eat a puck or a stick.
Gotta love that. Leaves the ice to get stitches, comes back and scores a goal. If this happened in any other sport, the player would be out minimum 5-6 weeks.
Hockey players are a different breed of atheletes. They live to play as hard and as much as they can. Only a major injury like a concussion or a knee injury keeps them off the ice. Hockey is the most competitive of all sports , hands down.

"When I first came across Karen Knorr's photography…I was struck by the beauty, blissfully unaware of the conflicting story underlying the series' architecture. Knorr took to the Mughal and Rajput palaces, havelis and mausoleums to capture the relationship between the upper caste and 'the other' through large format analogue photography. The series highlights 'men's space (mardana) and women's space (zanana)' through the consideration of 'caste, femininity and its relationship to the animal world.' The digitally placed animals serve to represent the transmigration of historic female characters, such as Sita and Amrita, now challenging the modern male hierarchy."
