Prince Charles and his sons William and Harry are setting sail together on a Mediterranean cruise. But their royal vacation got off to a rocky start Thursday when the British press found out the happy scenes of the departing princes and their guests camouflaged another getaway, held in secret, from a British air force base.
Camilla Parker-Bowles, Prince Charles' long-time mistress, had been invited to join the party but not the publicity, reports CBS News Correspondent Richard Roth. It has turned the 10-day holiday into a royal family affair.
"It is very significant because it's the first holiday that the Prince of Wales has ever taken Camilla away with his children," says Jane Kerr, the royal correspondent for Britain's Mirror newspaper.
The queen was reportedly not amused. Some reports say Prince Charles did not even warn his mother, knowing she is worried that Camilla's role in his life has implications for the British crown.
What haunts Buckingham Palace is the memory of another Mediterranean cruise almost 70 years ago, another Prince of Wales, and another divorced woman.
Prince Edward's public holiday with his American lover Wallis Simpson is a reminder of how royal romance can become a scandal big enough to rock the throne; Edward eventually gave up the crown for Simpson's love.
The rules are different now, of course; the public is not so easily shocked. Additionally, this summer's vacation will be absolutely private, according to palace officials.

Pastor in same-sex parent dispute remains jailedBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | January 31,2013MONTPELIER — A Virginia pastor who interfered with a custody dispute involving a lesbian couple in Vermont will remain jailed for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury.
Forty-seven-year-old Kenneth Miller was convicted last summer of helping Lisa Miller and her daughter leave the country in September 2009 to avoid sharing custody with her former partner. Prosecutors are trying to compel the pastor to testify against someone else involved in the flight, but Miller said his fundamentalist Christian faith prevents him from doing so.
Miller, of Stuarts Draft, Va., was jailed a week ago after refusing a judge's order that he testify before a grand jury. At a hearing Thursday said he hasn't changed his mind.

A sensational medical breakthrough means you'll never have to go to a doctor or psychiatrist again for an accurate clinical diagnosis.
How else does one explain the extraordinary medical assessments of the stars in this week's supermarket tabloids, based on just a photograph or two?
AMA could learn a few things from these tabloids medical experts.
TV's Friends star Matthew Perry is suspected of a "drug relapse because the actor "looks horrible," says Dr. Stuart Fischer, "who has not treated 46-year-old Matthew but reviewed recent photos of the actor," according to the National Enquirer. "He looks ill-kempt and homeless," says the doc, which as any dedicated tabloid reader will tell you, is a dangerous medical condition.
Angelina Jolie is an "anorexic wasting away," alleges the Enquirer, riding one of its favorite rail-thin hobby horses. They enlist Dr. Art Mollen of Arizona to determine, based on photographs, that Angie needs hospitalization "immediately," plus a team of "psychiatrists, cardiologists, nutritionists and even the family" to save her life. The Enquirer adds, in stark red headlines almost two inches tall, that she weighs "82 lbs" - an assessment that can only mean they are now hiring former fairground hucksters who used to "Guess Your Weight" at carnival midway stands.

The "Strategic Defense of Earth" concept, originally proposed six months ago by Dmitri Rogozin, has received renewed attention over the recent weeks from individuals close to president-elect Putin, whose official inauguration as the next President of Russia is scheduled for this coming Monday, May 7th. It should be seen as no coincidence that this increased attention to the defense of earth idea coincides with major coverage of the ideas and personality of Lyndon LaRouche, the original author of the SDI, the model for the SDE.

DEFINITION of 'UAH (Ukraine Hryvnia)'
The currency abbreviation for the Ukraine hryvnia (UAH), the currency for Ukraine. The Ukraine hryvnia is made up of 100 kopiyka and is often presented with a symbol based on the cursive Ukrainian letter "He", which looks like a "3" with a double horizontal stroke through the middle. The double strokes are seen on other currencies such as the euro and the yen because they symbolize stability.
BREAKING DOWN 'UAH (Ukraine Hryvnia)'
The hryvnia became the national currency of Ukraine when it replaced the karbovanets at a rate of 100,000:1 in 1996 because of the hyperinflation that occurred in the '90s as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Initially, the currency was introduced at an exchange rate with the U.S. dollar of 1.76 Ukrainian hryvnia to 1 U.S. dollar. Since 1998, when the Asian financial crisis devalued the currency, the exchange rate has remained stable at around 5 hryvnia to 1 U.S. dollar.

If you can think it up, Graves and his six employees can make it happen. From complete kitchen cabinetry remodels, including innovative lazy-susan corner pieces, cabinet doors with inlaid glass, and pantries with pull out drawers to the old-style shelving units that frame windows, The Shop is the place for quality.
"I can make about anything; countertops, cabinets, custom pieces. All of our cabinets are custom cabinets -- we come out and measure and build to fit. We use mostly oak, hickory, maple and some cherry," said Graves. "We'll draw up a plan of the room and what it would like look, and give them an estimate and we take care of getting rid of the old cabinets."
Graves began building cabinets back in 1964, when he was living in California. "My dad was a carpenter and I just kind of grew into it," said Graves. He came to Salem in 1978 to fulfill a higher calling -- to become the pastor of the First Missionary Baptist Church, located next to The Shop. He's been the pastor there now for 31 years, and divides his time between the church and The Shop.
One thing that speaks to the high quality of Graves' work is the amount of repeat business he gets. "There are a lot of folks that we've done work for, maybe 10-15 years ago, and now we're doing their children's cabinets. So, my cabinets are in two generations of family homes," said Graves. "We even have some customers where, each time they move, they call us and have us come in and re-do their cabinets for them."
So, if you're thinking of remodeling, or just want to update your pantry, stop by The Shop and they'll help make something to last you a lifetime.

Diabetes Health Center
Fructose: Sugar's Dark Side?
"Most people get the majority of the added sugars in their diet from beverages," Havel tells WebMD. "We saw a lot of changes happen in just two weeks of drinking these beverages -- and in real life, people don't do this just for two or 10 weeks but as a lifelong habit. They are potentially exposing themselves to cardiovascular risk."
The news may be worse. Stanhope says that preliminary data from new studies show that regular sugar and high-fructose corn syrup each seem to have the same effect as fructose alone -- even though both are only about half fructose and half glucose (normal corn syrup is 100% glucose).
It's still far too early to draw any conclusions from the new study. But Stanhope says it's unlikely anybody is going to apply the health-food label to sweetened soft drinks.
"It doesn't look like a good idea to drink a lot of soft drinks," Stanhope tells WebMD. "We were feeding people at the rate of three sodas a day. Some do drink that much, some people in real life do more, and some have only one a day. Give me two years, and we will know a lot more about the safe level."
Stanhope reported the findings at the American Diabetes Association's 67th Annual Scientific Sessions, held June 22-26 in Chicago.

| I would like to offer my words of appreciation to you and Allison for helping me through this process.
First, I contacted allison wednesday and told her that I needed to signup for dental insurance. I told her I did not get paid until friday. She called me at the time she promised and got me squared away with my appointment.
Unfortunately, there were internal issues in the dental office, so I called back and was assisted by Jacqueline. She was fabulous! She helped me find a good in network provider who could help. Jacqueline spent alot of time on helping me by calling a few places and making sure that I was a right fit.
I want to thank both Allison and especially jacqueline for giving me stellar service and let your company know that they are fortunate to have these two ladies who are efficient and helpful!
Thanks Jacqueline! And if I know anyone who needs dental help im going to recommend them to you! .
| I am writing this quick note to thank you for your great service last week when you helped my family in signing up for the Careington 500 plan. I went to the dentist I have been using for years and received more of a discount than when we were on the California Dental benefits plan. The plan you recommended for our family is great, just what we were looking for, low price and fantastic savings.
Not only are we experiencing savings at the Dentist and my Periodontist we are seeing discounts at our pharmacy for prescriptions and at Walmart for our eye ware needs. I have told a few friends about this program and they will be calling you this week to get signed up. Again thank you so much for all your help in this matter.
| Thank you so much for your immediate assistance upon my contacting you yesterday. I appreciate your understanding of my sense of urgency and helping me to resolve my dental emergency in a quick manner. I was so worried about finding an appointment before the holidays and you completely came through for me with an appointment the same week! And at an office with a 4.5 star rating (this was a huge issue for me as Ive seen a couple awful dentists). Thanks to your help, I am able to enjoy the holiday with my family pain free.
I am very glad I found this service and will remain a customer due to the fantastic customer service Ive received. I look forward to many vision and dental visits in the future. Thank you again!
| I don't know what to say, and I am still in disbelief that I saved over 50% for a very expensive medicine that is so badly needed and most insurances will not cover. I am 42, live in California, and have been disabled for over twelve years now, and California Healthcare is horrible. I have served my State and Government as a Paramedic and other capacities. I feel used and forgotten by them. With the small amount of income I receive and the cost of living I don't know how I make it.
Today I want to tell you when I handed my pharmacy, (Your coupon that was a piece of paper I cut out off the Internet), I was almost embarrassed. Although when I got my total, I thought there was a mistake for the price of my medicines. How can I thank you!! How can I repay you?

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故 Fukushima Dai-ichi ( pronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko?) was a series of equipment failures, nuclear meltdowns, and releases of radioactive materials at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, following the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.[6][7] Although it was the largest nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl disaster of 1986,[8] and the radiation released exceeded official safety guidelines, there were no casualties caused by radiation exposure.
A few of the plant's workers were severely injured or killed by the disaster conditions resulting from the earthquake. Furthermore, at least six workers have exceeded lifetime legal limits for radiation and more than 300 have received significant radiation doses. Workers involved in mitigating the effects of the accident do face minimally higher risks for some cancers.[9]
Predicted future cancer deaths due to accumulated radiation exposures in the population living near Fukushima have ranged[10] in the academic literature from none[11] to hundreds.[12] On 16 December 2011, Japanese authorities declared the plant to be stable, although it would take decades to decontaminate the surrounding areas and to decommission the plant altogether.[13]
The Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami killed over 15,000 people from effects unrelated to Fukushima.
Summary of events[edit]
The plant comprises six separate boiling water reactors originally designed by General Electric (GE), and maintained by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). At the time of the quake, Reactor 4 had been de-fueled while 5 and 6 were in cold shutdown for planned maintenance.[14] Immediately after the earthquake, the remaining reactors 1-3 shut down automatically, and emergency generators came online to control electronics and coolant systems. However the tsunami following the earthquake quickly flooded the low-lying rooms in which the emergency generators were housed. The flooded generators failed, cutting power to the critical pumps that must continuously circulate coolant water through a nuclear reactor for several days in order to keep it from melting down after being shut down. As the pumps stopped, the reactors overheated due to the normal high radioactive decay heat produced in the first few days after nuclear reactor shutdown (smaller amounts of this heat normally continue to be released for years, but are not enough to cause fuel melting). At this point, only prompt flooding of the reactors with seawater could have cooled the reactors quickly enough to prevent meltdown. Salt water flooding was delayed because it would ruin the costly reactors permanently. Flooding with seawater was finally commenced only after the government ordered that seawater be used, and at this point it was already too late to prevent meltdown.[15]
As the water boiled away in the reactors and the water levels in the fuel rod pools dropped, the reactor fuel rods began to overheat severely, and to melt down. In the hours and days that followed, Reactors 1, 2 and 3 experienced full meltdown.[16][17]
In the intense heat and pressure of the melting reactors, a reaction between the nuclear fuel metal cladding and the remaining water surrounding them produced explosive hydrogen gas. As workers struggled to cool and shut down the reactors, several hydrogen-air chemical explosions occurred.[18][19]
Concerns about the repeated small explosions, the atmospheric venting of radioactive gasses, and the possibility of larger explosions led to a 20 km (12 mi)-radius evacuation around the plant. During the early days of the accident workers were temporarily evacuated at various times for radiation safety reasons. At the same time, sea water that had been exposed to the melting rods was returned to the sea heated and radioactive in large volumes for several months until recirculating units could be put in place to repeatedly cool and re-use a limited quantity of water for cooling. The earthquake damage and flooding in the wake of the tsunami hindered external assistance. Electrical power was slowly restored for some of the reactors, allowing for automated cooling.[20]
Japanese officials initially assessed the accident as Level 4 on the International Nuclear Event Scale (INES) despite the views of other international agencies that it should be higher. The level was later raised to 5 and eventually to 7, the maximum scale value.[21][22] The Japanese government and TEPCO have been criticized in the foreign press for poor communication with the public and improvised cleanup efforts.[23][24][25] On 20 March, the Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano announced that the plant would be decommissioned once the crisis was over.
Radiation release[edit]
The Japanese government estimates the total amount of radioactivity released into the atmosphere was approximately one-tenth as much as was released during the Chernobyl disaster.[26] Significant amounts of radioactive material have also been released into ground and ocean waters. Measurements taken by the Japanese government 30–50 km from the plant showed caesium-137 levels high enough to cause concern,[27] leading the government to ban the sale of food grown in the area. Tokyo officials temporarily recommended that tap water should not be used to prepare food for infants.[28][29] In May 2012, TEPCO reported that at least 900 PBq had been released "into the atmosphere in March, 2011 alone."[30][31]
Japanese government report[edit]
On 5 July 2012, the parliament appointed The Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (NAIIC) submitted its inquiry report to the Japanese parliament,[32] while the government appointed Investigation Committee on the Accident at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Stations of Tokyo Electric Power Company submitted its final report to the Japanese government on 23 July 2012.[33] Tepco admitted for the first time on October 12, 2012 that it had failed to take stronger measures to prevent disasters for fear of inviting lawsuits or protests against its nuclear plants.[34][35][36][37]
WHO Report[edit]
In 2013, two years after the incident, the World Health Organization indicated that the residents of the area who were evacuated were exposed to so little radiation that radiation induced health impacts are likely to be below detectable levels.[38] The health risks in the WHO assessment attributable to the Fukushima radioactivity release were calculated by largely applying the conservative Linear no-threshold model of radiation exposure, a model that assumes even the smallest amount of radiation exposure will cause a negative health effect.[39]
The WHO calculations using this model determined that the most at risk group, infants, who were in the most affected area, would experience an absolute increase in the risk of cancer(of all types) during their lifetime, of approximately 1% due to the accident. With the lifetime risk increase for thyroid cancer, due to the accident, for a female infant, in the most affected radiation location, being estimated to be one half of one percent[0.5%].[40][41] Cancer risks for the unborn child are considered to be similar to those in 1 year old infants.[42]
The estimated risk of cancer to people who were children and adults during the Fukushima accident, in the most affected area, was determined to be lower again when compared to the most at risk group - infants.[43] A thyroid ultrasound screening programme is currently[2013] ongoing in the entire Fukushima prefecture, this screening programme is, due to the screening effect, likely to lead to an increase in the incidence of thyroid disease due to early detection of non-symptomatic disease cases.[44] About one third of people[33.3%] in industrialized nations are presently diagnosed with cancer during their lifetimes, radiation exposure can increase one's cancer risk, with the cancers that arise being indistinguishable from cancers resulting from other causes.[45]
No increase is expected in the incidence of congenital or developmental abnormalities, including cognitive impairment attributable to within the womb radiation exposure.[46] As no radiation induced inherited effects/heritable effects, nor teratogenic effects, have ever been definitely demonstrated in humans, with studies on the health of children conceived by cancer survivors who received radiotherapy, and the children of the Hibakusha, not finding a definitive increase in inherited disease or congenital abnormalities.[47] No increase in these effects are therefore expected in or around the Fukushima power plants.
Other Reports[edit]
Major news source reporting at least 2 TEPCO employees confirmed dead from "disaster conditions" following the earthquake.[48] "The two workers, aged 21 and 24, sustained multiple external injuries and were believed to have died from blood loss, TEPCO said. Their bodies were decontaminated as radiation has been spewing from the plant for three weeks."[49]
A Japanese Research Company was assigned to find out the health effects and casualties caused by the disaster. They found that some deaths were early, during evacuation processes, while other deaths gradually happened after the disaster. The agency found out that the cause of these early deaths were due to the disruption of hospital operations, exacerbation of pre-existing health problems and the stress of dramatic changes in life. It is stated that the vast majority of people who died during their evacuation were elderly.[50] 45 patients were reported dead after the evacuation of a hospital in Futaba due to lack of food, water and medical care as evacuation was delayed by three days.[51]
The Associated Press reported that fourteen senior citizens died after being moved from their hospital which was in the Fukushima plant evacuation zone.[52]
On 14 April 2011, it was reported that the oldest resident of Iitate, a 102-year-old, committed suicide rather than to leave following the announcement of his village's evacuation.[53]
In a nuclear accident situation it is essential for authorities to understand and communicate the direction that contamination is spreading and where it may be deposited on land. Given this information, as well as basic knowledge of the risks of radiation, residents would not feel unnecessary anxiety.[50]
The wind measurably increased the radiation levels up to 100 miles away from the disaster site. Radioactive iodine, which can lead to increased risk of thyroid cancer if absorbed into the body, was released into the air along with other fission products. To counteract the radioactive iodine the distribution of potassium iodide is used, as it prevents the absorption of the potentially dangerous radioisotopes of that element. Since Chernobyl, distributing potassium iodide to children has been a standard response when risk of radioactivity release is high.[54]
According to the Japanese Government, over 160,000 people in the general population were screened in March 2011 for radiation exposure and no case was found which affects health.[55] Thirty workers conducting operations at the plant had exposure levels greater than 100 mSv.[56]
In April 2011, the United States Department of Energy published projections of the radiation risks over the next year for people living in the neighborhood of the plant. Potential exposure could exceed 20 mSv/year (2 rems/year) in some areas up to 50 kilometers from the plant. That is the level at which relocation would be considered in the USA, and it is a level that could cause roughly one extra cancer case in 500 young adults. Natural radiation levels are higher in some part of the world than the projected level mentioned above, and about 4 people out of 10 can be expected to develop cancer without exposure to radiation.[57][58] Further, the radiation exposure resulting from the accident for most people living in Fukushima is so small compared to background radiation that it may be impossible to find statistically significant evidence of increases in cancer.[59]
As of September 2011[update], six workers at the Fukushima Daiichi site have exceeded lifetime legal limits for radiation and more than 300 have received significant radiation doses.[60]
Workers on-site now wear full-body radiation protection gear, including masks and helmets covering their entire heads, but it means they have another enemy: heat.[61] As of 19 July 2011[update], 33 cases of heat stroke had been recorded.[62] In these harsh working conditions, two workers in their 60s have died from heart failure.[63][64]
As of September 2012[update], there were no deaths or serious injuries due to direct radiation exposures. Cancer deaths due to accumulated radiation exposures cannot be ruled out, and according to one expert, might be in the order of 100 cases.[12] A May 2012 United Nations committee report stated that none of the six Fukushima workers who had died since the tsunami had died from radiation exposure.[65]
According to a 2012 Yomiuri Shimbun survey, 573 deaths have been certified as "disaster-related" by 13 municipalities affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster. These municipalities are in the no-entry, emergency evacuation preparation or expanded evacuation zones around the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant. A disaster-related death certificate is issued when a death is not directly caused by a tragedy, but by "fatigue or the aggravation of a chronic disease due to the disaster".[66]
According to a June 2012 Stanford University study by John Ten Hoeve and Mark Z. Jacobson, the radioactivity released could cause 130 deaths from cancer (the lower bound for the estimater being 15 and the upper bound 1100) and 180 cancer cases (the lower bound being 24 and the upper bound 1800), mostly in Japan. Radiation exposure to workers at the plant was projected to result in 2 to 12 deaths. The radioactivity released was an order of magnitude lower than that released from Chernobyl, and some 80% of the radioactivity from Fukushima was deposited over the Pacific Ocean; preventive actions taken by the Japanese government may have substantially reduced the health impact of the radioactivity release. An additional approximately 600 deaths have been reported due to non-radiological causes such as mandatory evacuations. Evacuation procedures after the accident may have potentially reduced deaths from radiation by 3 to 245 cases, the best estimate being 28; even the upper bound projection of the lives saved from the evacuation is lower than the number of deaths already caused by the evacuation itself.[67]
These numbers are very low compared to the estimated 20,000 casualties caused by the tsunami itself, and it has been estimated that if Japan had never adopted nuclear power, accidents and pollution from coal or gas plants would have caused more lost years of life.[68]
Future cancer deaths due to accumulated radiation exposures in the population living near Fukushima was predicted by a non-peer-reviewed "guesstimate"[69] to be 1,000.[26]
Finally, there has been a widely critiqued paper published by members of the controversial Radiation and Public Health Project which attempts to ascribe the natural annual cycle of rising and falling adult and infant mortality rates in the United States to Fukushima fallout, suggesting about 14,000 have died.[70] Those who have responded to this paper in the literature have however noted a number of errors, among them include, that this figure was based on an assumption of acute deaths from low radiation doses. There is no known mechanism for this, and more notably, "the cities under study with the lowest radiation fallout have the highest increases of death rates in the 14 weeks following Fukushima, while the Californian cities that would have received larger doses saw a decrease in death rate growth" and concluded that "innumerable factors other than radiation" were likely responsible for the major part of the variation in US mortality around the time of the nuclear disaster.[71]
The author of the initial paper which attempts to draw a link between infant mortality in the US and the Fukushima accident, Joseph Mangano and his colleague Ernest J. Sternglass, both of the Radiation and Public Health Project, were also active publishing work attempting to draw a causality between infant death rates in Pennsylvania due to the Three Mile Island accident(TMI-2) in 1979,[72][73] but likewise, these earlier papers conclusions have failed to be corroborated by any other peer reviewed paper or follow up epidemiology study, with Sternglass's paper being widely critiqued.[74] In their final 1981 report, the Pennsylvania Department of Health, examining death rates within the 10-mile area around TMI for the 6 months after the accident, said that the TMI-2 accident did not cause local deaths of infants or fetuses.[75][76]
Another cause of death is the increased number of suicides due to mental stress, despair, anxiety and depression caused by media coverage, and through long periods of evacuation.[77][78][79][80][81]

As reported earlier, a 400 millisieverts (mSv) per hour radiation dose observed at Fukushima Daiichi occurred between 1s 3 and 4. This is a high dose-level value, but it is a local value at a single location and at a certain point in time. The IAEA continues to confirm the evolution and value of this dose rate. It should be noted that because of this detected value, non-indispensable staff was evacuated from the plant, in line with the Emergency Response Plan, and that the population around the plant is already evacuated.
