The Canada national cricket team is the team that represents Canada in international cricket matches. The team is organised by Cricket Canada, which became an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 1968.
With the United States, Canada was one of the two participants in the first international cricket match, played in New York City in 1844. An annual Canada–U.S. fixture has continued to this day, now known as the Auty Cup. Canada's first international match against a team other than the U.S. came only in 1932, when Australia toured.[1] As with the ICC associate members, the team's first major international tournament was the 1979 ICC Trophy in England, where they qualified for the 1979 World Cup after placing second to Sri Lanka. After that, Canada did not make another World Cup until 2003, although they remained one of the leading associate teams. From 2006 to 2013, Canada had both One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International status, making appearances at the 2007 and 2011 World Cups. However, since the introduction of the new World Cricket League divisional structure, the team has been less successful – they placed amongst the bottom teams at the 2014 World Cup Qualifier and the 2015 WCL Division Two tournaments, and were consequently relegated to the 2017 Division Three event.

Early days[edit]
It is generally thought that cricket was introduced to Canada by British soldiers after the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759, although the earliest confirmed reference to cricket is of matches played on Saint Helen's Island, Quebec in 1785 on what later became the site of Expo 67.
The roots of modern Canadian cricket though come from the regions of Upper Canada, in particular Toronto, then known as York. During the early years of the nineteenth century, a schoolmaster by the name of George Anthony Barber encouraged the game there, and founded the Toronto Cricket Club in 1827. Barber instigated a game played between the Toronto Cricket Club and the cricket team of Upper Canada College in 1836, a game won by the college team.[2] This game has been played annually ever since. As already mentioned, Canada played its first international against the USA in 1844 in New York at St George's Cricket Club, now the site of the New York University Medical Center.
Late 19th century[edit]
George Parr led an English team to Canada in 1859, which was the first ever international cricket tour. A product of the tour was a book by Fred Lillywhite entitled The English Cricketers' Trip to Canada and the United States, published the following year. On the tour, which also ventured into the USA, the team won all five official matches against a 22 of Lower Canada (by 8 wickets at Montreal, Quebec on 26 October – 27 September), a 22 of the United States (by an innings and 64 runs at Hoboken, New Jersey on 3–5 October), a different 22 of the United States (by 7 wickets at Philadelphia on 10–12 October), a 22 of Lower Canada (by 10 wickets at Hamilton, Ontario on 17–19 October) and a further 22 of the United States (by an innings and 68 runs at Rochester, New York on 21–25 October). There were also some exhibition matches and two excursions to view the Niagara Falls.
When Canada became a nation in 1867, cricket was so popular it was declared the national sport by John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada.[3][4] The influence of baseball from the United States saw a decline in the popularity of cricket, despite tours from English and Australian teams. The third tour by an English team in 1872 featured none other than the famous W. G. Grace. The first Australian team to tour came in 1877, and they returned in 1893 beating Canada by an innings.[5] Three games were played against Ireland between 1888 and 1890, Ireland winning one, with the other two drawn. A tour of North America by the Australians in 1913 saw two first-class games (both won by the tourists) against a combined Canada–USA team.[6][7] The second of these, played at Rosedale, Toronto, was the first first-class match played in Canada.
1887 England tour[edit]
After an unofficial tour in 1880, which saw the Canadian captain arrested during a game against Leicestershire and the tour abandoned, the first official tour of the United Kingdom by a Canadian team took place in 1887. The tour started with two matches against Ireland, against whom Canada drew one game and lost the other, followed by two matches against Scotland with the same result. The tour then ventured into the north east of England with a defeat against the Gentlemen of Northumberland and a draw against Durham.
The tour then continued with various matches against county sides and others, with wins coming against the Gentlemen of Derbyshire and the Gentlemen of Warwickshire. The Canadian team finished the tour with a win/loss record of 2/5 with the remaining twelve games all drawn.
The Marylebone Cricket Club visited Canada in 1951, the highlight of which was the first first-class game played by the Canadian national team, played in Armour Heights, Toronto, which was won by the visiting side. This was followed in 1954 by a tour to England on which Canada played eighteen games, four of which were given first class status, including one against Pakistan who were also touring England at the same time.[8] The MCC again visited Canada in 1959 under Dennis Silk, and played a 3-day game against a Canada XI in Toronto which they won by 10 wickets. They were undefeated throughout the tour, winning most of their matches by wide margins, but had a closely fought draw against the Toronto Cricket Club. This was the decade when "The Imperial Cricket Conference" had serious plans to grant Canada "Test status", However Canada themselves postponed the idea as they felt that the Canadian national team was not of sufficient Test standard, and that competing against full-members sides needed some time as they wanted to improve their cricket even domestically. However, things did not go as planned and it would be fifty years before Canada next played a first class cricket match.
The annual series of matches between Canada and the USA continued, alternating between the countries. In the 1963 match in Toronto, Ray Nascimento scored 176, then a record for the series.
Canada drew a game against Ireland in 1973,[9] and the following year again embarked on a tour of England. The tour was a much lower profile than the 1954 tour, with the games being against club sides, county second XIs, and minor counties. Canada had a 4/6 win/loss record on the tour, with a further six games being drawn.[10] In 1979, Canada participated in the first ICC Trophy. They reached the final of the competition, which qualified them for the 1979 World Cup, where they played their first One Day Internationals. The World Cup was not a successful tournament for the Canadians though, and they failed to progress beyond the first round, losing all three games.
Canada participated in the ICC Trophy again in 1982 and 1986. They could not repeat their success of 1979 though, and failed to progress beyond the first round on both occasions. Other internationals in the 1980s include a no result game against Ireland in 1981,[11] and a 3 wicket loss to Barbados.[12]
The 1990s saw Canada progress up the international ladder, playing in three further ICC Trophy tournaments, their best being a seventh-place finish in 1997. They also began competing in West Indian domestic one-day cricket in 1996, and competed in the Commonwealth Games cricket tournament in 1998, though they did not progress beyond the first round.
2000 saw Canada host the first ICC Americas Championship, a tournament which they won. The following year they embarked on a tour to Sri Lanka, but the highlight of 2001 was their hosting of the ICC Trophy. They finished third in the tournament, which qualified them for the 2003 World Cup. It was this ICC Trophy tournament that first saw the emergence of John Davison, who was to become one of Canada's most successful players.
Canada played various matches in the buildup to the World Cup, visiting Argentina in April 2002, finishing as runners up to longtime rivals the USA in the Americas Championship, swiftly followed by a fifth-place finish in the ICC 6 Nations Challenge in Namibia. The West Indian A team toured Canada later in the year, and Canada won the one-day series 2–1, and drew a two-day game. This was followed by Canada's best performance to date in West Indian domestic one-day cricket, winning two games in their first round group, just missing out on qualification for the semi finals.
The World Cup itself was a tournament of contrasting fortunes for the Canadians. They started with their first ODI win, over Bangladesh. Two games later saw them dismissed for 36 against Sri Lanka, then the lowest score in One Day International history. The next game against the West Indies saw John Davison score the fastest ever World Cup century, although Canada lost that game, and did not progress past the first round.
2004 started badly for Canada, with a last place finish in the Six Nations Challenge in the United Arab Emirates after Canada lost all their games. They had improved significantly by the time of the ICC Americas Championship in Bermuda, which they won. Also in 2004, Canada participated in the first ICC Intercontinental Cup, finishing as runners up to Scotland. The highlight of this tournament was the game against the USA in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, when John Davison recorded the best match bowling figures since Jim Laker's 19 wickets against Australia in 1956.
In 2005, Canada again finished third in the ICC Trophy, which gained them official ODI status from 2006 until the 2009 ICC World Cup Qualifier, as well as qualifying them for the 2007 World Cup. Their performance in the Intercontinental Cup that year was not as good as in 2004 however, as they did not make it past the first round.
In 2006, Canada put in good performances in the four-day ICC Intercontinental Cup, beating Kenya by 25 runs and Bermuda by nine wickets, but their one-day form was a complete reversal, losing three times to Bermuda and Kenya, and a further loss to Zimbabwe.
In August, Canada took part in the first Division of the Americas Championship. They beat Argentina and longtime rivals the USA, but lost to the Cayman Islands and eventual winners Bermuda, and finished third, their worst performance so far in this tournament.

In June and July 2008, Canada hosted Bermuda for three ODIs and Intercontinental Cup matches against Bermuda and Scotland.
In August, Canada travelled to Ireland for the World Twenty20 Qualification Tournament. Canada did not qualify for the World Twenty20, finishing 5th ahead of Bermuda. The ODIs and an Intercontinental Cup match were hampered by rain.
In late summer of 2008, West Indies and Bermuda came to Canada to play in the Scotiabank One-Day Series against Canada. Canada defeated Bermuda, to face West Indies in the Final. West Indies captain Chris Gayle smashed his sixteenth ODI century and led his side to an easy seven-wicket victory against Canada in the finals of the Scotiabank ODI Series at King City.
During the Scotiabank Series the talents of Rizwan Cheema were discovered – he would become the star of the first Al-Barakah T20 Canada. The tournament involved Canada, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Canada lost both and tied one match, however in the tie with Zimbabwe, Canada lost by points in a bowl-out. Sri Lanka were eventual winners, defeating Pakistan in the Final. The tournament was expected to be played annually for the following four years.
In late November 2008, Canada participated in the Americas Championship in Florida, USA. The United States, after years of disarray, pulled together and won the championship. Canada finished 3rd on Net Run Rate behind Bermuda, as their match was washed out by rain.
In April 2009 Canada participated in the 2009 ICC Cricket World Cup Qualification Tournament. Assembling the best Canadian team in many years, Canada rolled through the opening stages of the event and eventually finished second in the tournament. The impressive display earned Canada a berth in the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup.
The ICC announced that the 2015 Cricket World Cup will only have 10 participating teams – this makes it difficult for the Associate Countries to qualify for the world cup. Cricket Canada expressed its unhappiness with the reduced world cup[13]
In January 2014, Canada lost ODI & T20I status and with no prospect of big-stage international cricket to come until next qualifier, owing to a poor performance at the World Cup Qualifier in New Zealand.

I've stayed at this hotel many times while traveling to Las Vegas. I always travel with my dogs and they dont charge an extra fee for them to stay. The location is fairly close to the strip and they offer a free shuttle service which I highly advise using. The only complaints I have are the grassed pet area outside is full of fleas so walk your pets further behind building to avoid this. It can also be very noisy at night...being in Las Vegas and all that should be somewhat expected. Most of the noise was just talking down the hallway and doors closing. I would suggest a room on a higher floor away from the elevator to avoid most of the noise. All-in-all a pretty decent hotel for the price.

Tax cuts still on minds of NC governor candidates
Published: Tuesday, October 21, 2008 at 3:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 21, 2008 at 3:09 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) _ It took a banking crisis that eliminated Charlotte-based Wachovia Corp. before it became very real for North Carolina: the economic powerhouse of the New South isn't exempt from the ailing economy.
Candidates for NC governor on the economy and jobs
By The Associated Press
Here are three questions on jobs and the economy posed by The Associated Press to the three candidates for North Carolina governor, followed by their responses, which were edited only for AP style.
1. The nonpartisan Tax Foundation says North Carolina's state and local tax burden as a percentage of income ranks 20th in the country, or $3,663 per capita, just above the national average (No. 1 is the highest rank). Do you consider such a ranking out of line with the rest of the country and in need of adjustment? If so, what steps would you propose in your first year in office to modify the state's tax code?
PAT MCCRORY: North Carolina has the highest income and business tax rates in the Southeast. This makes us much less competitive when trying to recruit new jobs and new industries to our state. My No. 1 focus as governor will be attracting and retaining high quality jobs for North Carolina and to do this we must reduce tax rates so that we are competitive with neighboring states.
In addition, I want to eliminate the death tax. The last thing we need to do is impose a tax on North Carolinians once they die. Far too many families must pay large tax bills for inheriting their loved-one's possessions or business. Often, these families have small family businesses and must sell them, simply because the government is forcing them to pay too much.
MIKE MUNGER: We need to take the following steps: 1. Cut the tax on food, which is highly regressive. 2. Cut the gasoline tax, which is the highest in the southeast U.S. If we kept the Highway Trust Fund funds in the system, we'd have plenty of money for roads and bridges, even after a substantial cut. 3. Cut both the corporate income tax, and the individual income tax, to encourage small business growth and attract new enterprises to our state.
Of course, none of this will work if we don't also cut spending. And much of our spending is on education, and social services, and is very difficult to adjust. We would have to work closely with state agencies to consolidate functions, and reduce redundant activities, to make this balance.
BEVERLY PERDUE: I am skeptical of the claims and methodology of the Tax Foundation because of clear political biases. However, I do believe that we need to keep our tax burden competitive with other states.
My priority for our economic future is to relieve as much as possible the tax burden on our middle class families. That is why I strongly support such measures as expansion of the state's new Earned Income Tax Credit, property tax relief for seniors on limited incomes, and targeted tax incentives for our small businesses.
Moreover, by undertaking a comprehensive modernization of our antiquated tax structure, it is clear that we can have a far more economically efficient and fair system that raises more revenue while preserving and even enhancing our tax competitiveness. At the same time I am committed to finding innovative ways to shake up the budget process in Raleigh that will root out wasteful loopholes and special-interest spending. As our next governor, I will make government more open and more accountable. By implementing new technology and using existing technology in new ways, we can ensure government that is accountable to the taxpayers.
Not only is openness and accountability essential, but it will also avoids waste and saves taxpayer's money. That is why I will create a "Google" accountability system for state contracts and grants, which will allow citizens to search government contracts online.
Finally, after leading North Carolina's effort in the most recent round of the military's Base Realignment and Closure process, I want to implement that process into our budget processes. On day one, after I am sworn in as governor, I will issue a set of change orders, one of which will establish a Budget Reform and Accountability Commission (BRAC). This independent panel, modeled on BRAC, would identify up to 10 substantial proposals to transform state spending and government. This panel would then bring up to ten proposals to the General Assembly which would have to be voted up or down.
2. The Legislature in July authorized $857 million in debt over the next four years, the largest amount ever approved in one year without requiring a public vote. The state's annual debt service also has doubled as a percentage of tax revenues since 2001. While some lawmakers have complained about the increased reliability on debt that isn't voter approved, the State Treasurer's Office believes the state's borrowing levels to be fiscally sound. Legislative leaders say the borrowing will generate thousand of new construction-related jobs and help educate the state's work force. If elected governor, what changes would you recommend, if any, to how the state borrows money? Should all debt require approval in a referendum, or are there instances where legislators alone should authorize borrowing?
MCCRORY: We need to break the status quo mentality in state government that allows the governor, lieutenant governor and a handful of legislative leaders to think that there is nothing wrong with doubling the state's debt while avoiding a vote of the people. For the past eight years, North Carolina's budget deficit has doubled without a vote of the people. The Constitution of North Carolina states we must have a vote of the people in order to go into debt. I believe it is wrong for our government to incur debt apart from a vote of the people. I am committed to changing business as usual in state government and this includes returning to the people the right to vote on new state debt.
MUNGER: The use of C.O.P.s (certificates of participation) is out of control, and we are close to the point where T.I.F.s (tax-increment financing) will be also. For both the state and for local governments, general obligation bonds are by far the best approach. The reasons are two: (a) accountability, because the voters have to approve, and (b) cost, because the interest rate on GO bonds is much lower.
We have enough money for education now, if the General Assembly would just pay the $700 million it already owes.
PERDUE: I'm proud that throughout the financial crisis that North Carolina maintains our triple-A bond rating and is below average in debt, but we cannot continue to borrow at such an accelerated pace. We cannot rely on borrowing. We must focus on modernizing our antiquated tax system, which becomes even more critical in tough economic times.
3. Last year, the Legislature approved a new incentives program that will benefit two larger tire manufacturers with millions of dollars in state grants over a 10-year period even if the companies reduce their employment levels. As governor, would you recommend expanding this "Job Maintenance and Capital Development" program? What do you believe are the most effective type of incentives to lure new companies and jobs to North Carolina?
MCCRORY: We should be very selective and conservative in giving incentives. Our bias should be toward recruiting and retaining manufacturing jobs. I believe the best incentives are low taxes, reasonable energy rates, good highways and infrastructure, well-trained workers and a top-notch education system.
MUNGER: The state can neither maintain jobs nor develop capital. This should have been called the "Featherbedding and Corporate Welfare" program. Such programs take money from taxpayers, and give them to large corporations, for the benefit of politicians' re-election campaigns. Study after study, by economists such as Dr. Dennis Coates at the University of Maryland, have shown that these programs return no more than 40 or 45 cents on the dollar. They are wasteful, they are expensive, and they would have no place in a Munger administration.
PERDUE: For six of the last seven years, North Carolina has ranked first in the nation for business relocation by Site Selection magazine. I believe the use of financial incentives has contributed to our high ranking, but it should be clear to everyone that reliance on these methods will be subject to diminishing returns in the 21st century economy. The key is to grow, diversify, and innovate within our borders.
Over the past few years, North Carolina has created hundreds of millions of dollars in financial incentives to attract businesses and jobs to our state. As governor, I will lead an effort at the National Governors Association to put an end to this practice; however, as long as the 49 other states continue to offer such incentives, North Carolina must be prepared to compete. Our incentives, however, must be targeted, accountable and performance-based.
In order to be economically effective, incentives must reward companies for creating and maintaining high-wage jobs over a long period of time. They should not be front-end cash giveaways to companies on the mere promise that they will create and maintain jobs in the future.
We must be very careful and strategic about the use of direct financial incentives. In the long run, the best incentive to both attract relocating businesses and to create new ones here at home is to have the best-educated and healthiest workforce in America, and to reduce the burden that skyrocketing health insurance costs are placing on small and large businesses.
Now, with the state unemployment rate at a six-year high and a government budget shortfall that could reach several times the current amount of $230 million, the candidates for North Carolina governor have been talking more and more about belt-tightening in the state.
"We're going to have to reduce spending in the state of North Carolina," said Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, the Republican nominee. "We're not going to have any choice."
But difficult economic times still don't prevent McCrory, Democratic candidate Beverly Perdue and Libertarian nominee Mike Munger from promoting plans to lower taxes either through rate reductions or targeted relief for low-income families and the elderly.
In surveys with The Associated Press and other public comments, the candidates say the economy will benefit from lower taxes by helping families struggling to make ends meet or by freeing up money to spend, invest and create additional jobs.
"We've got to find a way to cut the income tax, and the gas tax and the food tax," Munger, a Duke University political science professor, said at a recent debate. "Those things hurt us a lot in attracting outside business."
Perdue, the lieutenant governor, wants to expand the state's new earned income tax credit and provide targeted tax incentives for small business.
Getting the General Assembly to lower taxes will be difficult for a new governor next year if faced with a $1 billion-dollar-plus shortfall.
Unlike the federal government, which can borrow money to plug a deficit, North Carolina state government must balance its budget. So the state can't simply hope that tax cuts will generate more economic activity, and therefore, more revenue to fill any budget hole, said Roby Sawyers, an accounting professor at North Carolina State University.
"It's really hard to see how a new administration and a new governor (are) going to cut taxes, particularly in light of what's happened over the last six months with our budget situation," said Sawyers, who also worked for a state commission that looked at modernizing the state's tax structure.
Perdue and McCrory both say they have what it takes to trim spending and provide tax relief in their administration.
Perdue, a former state Senate budget-writer, said she was able to fashion a $850 million spending plan for Hurricane Floyd relief in 1999 "without raising one single cent of taxes." McCrory said he's worked with a Democratic-controlled city council in creating budgets for North Carolina's largest city.
The three candidates agree that the state's tax burden needs to be reasonably close to those in other states out of fairness, or so it doesn't become a stumbling block to companies building in the state.
The Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan research group, says North Carolina's state and local tax burden as a percentage of income ranks 20th in the country, at $3,663 per capita, or just above the national average. Data from the Federation of Tax Administrators ranked North Carolina's state and local revenue 27th among the states and the District of Columbia as a percentage of personal income in 2006.
McCrory said he wants to lower the state's 6.9 percent corporate income tax rate and the individual income tax rate for the highest wage earners of 7.75 percent, which are the highest marginal rates in the Southeast.
The State and Local Fiscal Modernization Study Commission recommended last year that those taxes should be reduced if the income is broadened to eliminate loopholes or other breaks that have eroded the tax base. At the same time, the panel said, more low-income people should pay no income taxes at all.
"It's clear that we can have a far more economically efficient and fair system that raises more revenue while preserving and even enhancing our tax competitiveness," Perdue said in the survey.
Getting such ideas passed has been difficult for fear that certain interest groups and legislative candidates will use incumbents' votes for the tax changes against them on Election Day.
"Tax reform is always going to be an uphill battle because (cutting) taxes are the first thing that lots of politicians look at to make part of their agenda," said Elaine Mejia with the liberal-leaning N.C. Budget and Tax Center.
The three candidates, concerned about the state's increasing debt, also said they would support requiring all debt to be voted on in a state referendum. However, Perdue and Munger pointed to some small exceptions where legislative approval may be enough.
The General Assembly has authorized more than $3 billion in so-called "special indebtedness" from 2001 through 2012 that didn't require approval by the public, according to state documents.
Lawmakers already had doubled the state's annual debt service as a percentage of tax revenues to $681 million, even before the latest batch of debt was approved in July.
"An awful lot of our future budget five years from now is going to be tied up in debt service," Munger said. Legislative leaders point out the state's overall debt remains within guidelines set by the state treasurer to keep the state's cherished triple-A bond rating.
Munger stands apart from the other candidates on whether to continue offering tax breaks to lure large businesses to create jobs in the state. He calls such incentives "economic prostitution" and said the state doesn't get a return on its investment.
McCrory and Perdue both said they would be selective about offering incentives, rewarding companies that would generate high-quality jobs. They said that broader improvements to the state including an educated work force, roads and infrastructure would be the best motivation for companies to set up shop in North Carolina.
Perdue said if elected she would work to reach an agreement with other states to end the high-stakes incentives: "However, as long as the 49 states continue to offer such incentives, North Carolina must be prepared to compete."

Posidonia perspectives
We take a look at what was said in the market over the past week.
John Angelicoussis is concerned that too many vessels are being ordered by people who do not have his belief in charter backing for newbuildings.
(Prominent owners talk to TradeWinds)
"We are shipowners, and shipowners we shall remain, with our own money — and, of course, in partnership with our banks. But we will not spend our skills and devotion to become operators of tens of vessels belonging to other people and purchased with other people's money."
Captain Panagiotis Tsakos also appears to have an aversion to OPM or other people's money.
(Tsakos keen to rectify tanker imbalance with dry bulk and boxships)
The risk management people took over from the business people, so the power of the business people was lost within the bank structure and you got paralysis through analysis."
But a serious malady is diagnosed by George Syllantavos of Nautilus Shareholdings.
(Owners look for alternatives to make up funding shortfall)
"As Greece is in the process of ending the most testing period in its modern history, economically and socially, Greek shipping could become a key driver of economic recovery at national level, as well as in the context of global prosperity and welfare."
Union of Greek Shipowners president, Theodore Veniamis, is upbeat about the contribution that could be made to national wealth.
(Spotlight back on Greece as Posidonia nears)
"They could lead to a smaller fleet being handed over by my generation to the next generation — something that has not happened in the past 72 years."
UGS secretary, Panos Laskaridis, warns the government must be careful about the long term consequences of fiscal actions.
(Greek shipping rethinks relations with the state)
"It is to be hoped that the severe loss of confidence created by the uncertainty of the tax regime will not result in heavy losses in the future."
The Greek Shipping Co-operation Committee is also concerned although Golden Destiny appears to still see a gilded future for Greek shipping.
(Shipping shines bright as Greece bids to recover)
"I believe the LNG carrier market has a long way to go. But the charterers are very, very careful to choose among players or owners who have in-house experience and an impeccable track record."
George Procopiou is gearing up to tap gas market opportunities.
(Dynagas goes public to accelerate LNG sector expansion)
"You could call [the reefer trade] a business in a run-off mode but it is a slow, profitable run-off and, as things seem today, we may have to reinvest in a few ships to continue servicing very specific trades."
Thanassis Laskaridis appears pretty chilled out about prospects for the traditional breakbulk reefer market.
(Prominent owners talk to TradeWinds)
Safe Bulkers Polys Hajioannou is upbeat that delay in shipping South American grain is going to be good news for the dry cargo market.
(Delayed South American grain exports poised to boost market)
"Lower and lower speeds mean many more ships than might have been required will be needed. And more capital will be tied up in cargoes on longer ocean voyages. Is that efficient?"
Tom Boardley of Lloyd's Register doubts that cutting engine power to achieve Energy Efficiency Design Index requirements is the way to go.
(EEDI: Can shipping combine safety, environmental and efficiency targets?)
"We struck an agreement with the miners to transport the mineral to China for free but the cargoes would be registered under our name. Once the minerals were sold, they could pay us the shipping charges."
Still room for a bit of wheeling and dealing in the capesize market according to Winning Shipping's Sun Xiushun.
(Winning stays one step ahead)
"In terms of deals, we are even busier than 2005 because there are more companies to do follow-ons and these are not just issues of common shares but in some cases more complicated products like convertible bonds."
Seward & Kissel's Gary Wolfe appears to be caught up in a new IPO gold rush.
(IPO levels reach gold standard in New York)
"We have a peculiar situation now because it feels like there has been an oil price crash even if it has not really crashed."
Low oil prices and high costs have created strange times according to Jarand Rystad of Rystad Energy.
(E&P cuts aid solid cash-flow improvements)
"A cautious approach has been taken and more margin built in to the estimates but it is difficult to predict if that is the end of the story."
Lars Rhodin's NeverEnding Rena story continues with dark forces from down under continuing to gobble up dollars.
(Rena wreck removal bill set to leap by further $75m)
"If true, the allegations depict a scheme of entities born out of a fraudulent bankruptcy proceeding, controlled by a single individual, established to avoid creditors and admiralty jurisdiction in the United States."
US judge, Robert Doumar, takes a robust view of allegations that Vista Shipping is linked to failed Industrial Carriers Inc.
"It is not systems or machines that commit fraud. It is people."
So not much prospect of putting a colour copier or other office equipment behind bars although ICC crime guru, Pottengal Mukundan, concedes they are useful accomplices for bill of lading crooks.
(Digital age opens up shipping trade finance systems to fraud)

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
by J.K. Rowling
Shrieking Shack
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
We can't help but picture the Shrieking Shack from the movie whenever we hear/read about it now – creepy, dilapidated, and looking like it hasn't been dusted in about twenty years. This place is a lot more than just a creepy old house, though. It actually has more in common with a high school cafeteria than it does with a haunted house. Really – the Shrieking Shack is ground zero for grudge matches, gossip, and drama. The Marauders laid the foundation for Snape's long-term hatred of them with their practical joke gone awry; Lupin's secret, and later his friends' secret Animagus identities, were housed in the Shack; and the truth about Sirius and Peter finally came out in the Shack, in the novel's climactic chapter.
In a way, the Shrieking Shack is the nexus point for the novel's major theme of misconceptions. The shack itself appears "haunted" and forbidding, but it was really nothing more than the hang-out for a poor werewolf kid and his friends. It just happened to look darn scary to others.
Still, it's inside the Shrieking Shack that more secrets than you can shake a stick at come to light, which makes the Shrieking Shack a sort of dual symbol of both secrets and truth. For some, it was just easier to think that the shack was haunted and that you couldn't enter than to make the journey inside – sounds a bit like getting to the truth sometimes, doesn't it? Want to read more about the Shack? Check out the "Setting" section!

I've implemented this site primarily to give you some impressions of my music work on my English/American-language songs. And who am I? Read some basic information about me and my music here:
My name is Jens Schröder. Since 2005 I travel the music world as Akim Jensch (artist name). I am a German singer songwriter, writing my own german and english songs for nearly 32 years. From 2009 to 2013 I was also very busy in melodizing 39 lyrics from my music friend, singer songwriter and poet C.U.(from North Carolina), but also from other people like German poet André Dahlke, german singer and songwriter Jan Preuss or painter and poet Susan Bonath.
Meanwhile I am maintaining many music cooperations and I am really happy this fact! It enriches my life so much, I don't want to miss any single cooperation!! :)
In 2009 I released my solo album "Meine Reise" (My Journey) at the German indie label ZIPPI RECORDS, including 10 self-written German songs.
Whatever I do musically and with whomsoever I stand on stage - the main thing is having fun, staying in good contact with the audience, myself and my music companions and trying to create a special unique intensity everytime I am performing my music.
If you are interested in my german singer songwriter activities I invite you to take a look at my website www.akimjensch.de .
Always keep your head up and stay hopeful!

This is an awesome product. Again, I have used it for less than a month and I can tell such a difference. I feel better, the pain that I was having is completely gone. It is a very gentle acting detox. No harsh cramping and nausea that I have experienced with others. Will be re ordering.
Great for detox and relief of symptoms
Posted by Reviewer1459438 on Apr 28, 2015
LOVE this product!! Helps with detox overall and when feeling extra symptoms from herx or just overload from toxins, this really helps me. 10 drops in water every 15 mins.
No effect seen at all..
Posted by theveryblonde on Feb 04, 2015
Used already half of bottle. I use it everyday, 3 servings per day combined with 3 serving per day of Pinella , as recommended. No effect seen so far..

I do recommend Nutramedix products. They are really good. Using burbur as part of cowden protocol for lyme detox
Great Herx Help
Posted by priyanka on Nov 21, 2014
I did a very extreme treatment. Usually I become transiently paralyzed and/or mute from herxing, but taking 10 drops in ½ cup of water every 10-15 minutes for a few hours helped tremendously.
Helpful Vs. Effects of Detoxification
Posted by 5396436662769680755 on Jan 28, 2014
When I ran out of this while on vacation, the side effects of the detoxification process from Lyme Disease became bothersome, especially the cough, so I had to cut back on all others until I could use all three as they were prescribed. I have found the combination beneficial.

Obama Administration Encourages the Supreme Court to Strike Down Defense of Marriage Act
The legal brief suggests that President Obama is ready to endorse a federal right to gay marriage.
On Friday, a White House lawyer submitted a brief calling DOMA unconstitutional because it violates "the fundamental guarantee of equal protection" by denying federal benefits to same-sex couples married under state laws. While the administration has been urging the Court to overturn DOMA for a couple years, the strong language of the argument — submitted in anticipation of the upcoming March hearing on the 1996 law — indicates that President Obama might be ready to embrace a federal right to gay marriage by also calling for the end of Proposition 8, which will be evaluated alongside DOMA.

TELL CITY—Castle's boys swim team is ranked 10th in the state and demonstrated why in a 126-51 victory over Tell City Thursday.
The Knights won all three relays and swept the top three places in four of the nine individual events.
Tell City swept the top three places in the 50-yard freestyle, though.
Nick Bower won it in 24.73 seconds, Jerry Ammon placed second in 26.90, and David McDaniel took third in 28.31.
TELL CITY—Tell City's full-court press helped force 32 Cannelton turnovers as the Marksmen won 70-35 in boys basketball Saturday.
"I think this group has a whole lot more athleticism than last year's team," said Tell City Coach John Hayes. "I think when we started pressing a little bit, obviously that was the turning point."
Cannelton jumped to an early 4-0 lead as center T.J. James hit two free throws after being fouled inside and scored a field goal inside.
TELL CITY—Alex Rogier had 23 points and nine rebounds in the second half to lift Perry Central past Tell City 70-69 in boys basketball Tuesday.
Rogier scored 21 points in the last 12 minutes after Tell City built a 50-41 lead on Trent Gunn's driving layup and free throw with 3:56 left in the third quarter.
"There's no question he was the difference in the game," Tell City Coach John Hayes said of Rogier.
CALHOUN, Ky.—Cannelton hit only 19.6 percent from the field in a 76-38 boys basketball loss to McLean County Tuesday.
While the Bulldogs were cold, McLean County hit 46.0 percent from the field, including making 10 of 26 three-point shots.
Facing Cannelton's zone defense, the Cougars took over 40 percent of their shots from three-point range.
"We're not deep enough to play man-to-man (defense)," said Cannelton Coach Brian Garrett.
LANESVILLE—Perry Central used pressure defense in the third quarter to pull away to a 54-33 girls basketball victory over Lanesville Monday.
The Commodores led only 22-15 at halftime but outscored Lanesville 19-7 in the third quarter with the help of their press.
"I thought our defensive pressure made the difference," said Perry Central Coach Bill Dickerson. "They're pretty big but we made it hard for them to run their half-court offense."
CANNELTON—Cannelton forced 34 turnovers as it beat Whitesville Trinity 49-41 in girls basketball Monday.
Trinity led 31-15 early in the third quarter. Then the Bulldogs "got after the ball a little bit with our (1-2-2) press," said Cannelton Coach Mike Garrett. "I think they only went seven deep, so they started getting a little worn out.
"We got some layups and we also started hitting the offensive boards a little better."
Sophomore guards Sarah Powers and Payton Reed scored 17 and 13 points, respectively, to lead Cannelton.
BOONVILLE—Bailey Malone won two individual events and a relay to lead Tell City past Boonville 110-75 in girls swimming Monday.
Malone won the 200-yard individual medley in 2:34.17 and the 100 breaststroke in 1:21.04.
She teamed with Amanda Wagner, Chelsea Malone and Erika Hauenstein to win the 400 free relay in 4:03.75.
Chelsea Malone won the 50 freestyle in 26.66 seconds.
Wagner won the 100 free in 57.91 and Hauenstein took the 100 butterfly in 1:11.49.
NEW ALBANY—Tell City won six of 10 matches actually wrestled but had to forfeit four weight classes and lost to New Albany 44-30 Tuesday.
"We actually beat them head to head, but it's tough when you have to give up 24 points," said Tell City Coach Joe Litherland.
Tell City won four consecutive matches by pins. Dillon Hedinger (160-pound weight class), Matt Leistner (171), Dustin Gould (189) and Dylan Froehlich (215) earned them.
Leistner scored his pin fastest, in 43 seconds.
BOONVILLE—Tell City won seven of 12 events but lost to Boonville 91-82 in a boys swimming season opener Monday.
Tell City did not have an entrant in the 100 butterfly so Boonville swept all three places in it. And the Marksmen's only entrant in the 200 individual medley was disqualified.
Greg Clayton and Nick Bower each won two individual events for Tell City.
Clayton took the 200 freestyle in 2:04.70 and the 500 free in 5:45.67.
Bower won the 100 free in 58.53 and the 50 free in 24.89.
LEOPOLD—Perry Central forced 18 Tell City turnovers and beat the Marksmen 28-24 in freshman basketball Monday.
"I was really pleased with our defensive effort overall, but on offense we struggled quite a bit," said Tell City Coach Dan Lacy.
Adam Kleaving scored 10 points to lead Perry Central. Paul Schwartz grabbed three rebounds.
Matthew Watts scored nine points, Brandon Gaynor eight, and Ryan Dooley six for Tell City.
Casey May led Tell City in rebounds with five.

The reality..
.. of modern football is if we wanna win titles we need:
1 owners that can splash the cash on players who can do the business, and not penny pinch and expect cheapy youngsters to do the job.
2. A manager with drive and ambition and with the skills and ambition to do make us a force again (sorry Brendan thats not you nor will it ever).
3. A huge stadium in which to pull in the fans and add to further revenue on top players.
4. Improve our status worldwide so we get monies from foreign countries.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
And here we are. We have now fully circumvented the sofa.
1. FSG did that. We bought Carroll, Downing and Henderson. Go figure! How would it fit with FFP?
2. And how long does it take to change a clubs position? How long would you give the new manager?
3. Didn't we discuss this some time ago?
4. FSG are doing that already.
Read the article below and tell me if you were around at that time if you were asking for Shankly's head in 1961 when after 18 months in charge he hadn't won the league; and in 1967 when Liverpool didn't win the league title and didn't actually win it again until 1972-73.

I wasn't born until the late 60's.
I didn't become a LFC fan until I was around 10 yrs old or so..

Further information I've seen is that FSG can't afford to run both Boston Red Sox & LFC.. so they'll have to sell one or the other..
The feeling is that it'll be easier to sell Red Sox than to sell LFC.
If thats so then he'll have more money to plough into LFC.

Sofa, I know I and others have encouraged you to do a little research on FFP in the past so you can get a basic understanding of what the new regulations are, and the constraints on spending they will create.
However that seems to have fallen on deaf ears, so let's try a different approach.
I assume you live on a budget of some kind, even if you don't formally write down all you're income and outgoings. I also assume you can understand the basics of how a company keeps its books, including adding up earnings, taking away outgoings or costs, before ending up with a number that is something like profit.
So in that light, please tell me what happens to you if you spend more than you take in? If what you spend on rent or a house payment, what you spend on food, clothing, and other expenses is actually more than whatever earnings you have, how do you finance the difference?
Now I know your answer is both 1 and 3 in your points, that is get yourself a really rich sheik to give you the money, and then build a shiny new stadium. But is that really realistic? Let's leave aside that FFP does not allow the sheik to just to write you cheques, do you really think there are many people in the world who are willing to just hand over 50M or more every year plus stump us 400M or more so you can sit in a nice shiny stadium and watch the over paid players their money bought?
Let's go back to the analogy and ask yourself if you are living beyond your means, and you're lucky enough to find someone willing to give you money to make up the difference, how long do you think they'd keep handing over cash so you can dress up in nice cloths and drive around in a car you can't afford?

Ok then Steer.. answer this one for me why is it that Man City & Chelsea can just go out and buy the best players?
Are they playing fair to FFP?
As it seems rather unfair that we're trying to control our budget )LFC) yet they're able to spend willy nilly..
As for my own income thats my own business and not privvy to discussion on a public forum.

he gets it all paid for by the state

FFS, wise up, thank fook i earned enough to retire at 40 and not pay any more money into that QUNTS internet fund, of which is paid for and he gets a new laptop every 3 years cos of his dyslexia
WHAT A QUNT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,so how the foook do you expect it to understand what you have asked never mind have even the remotist football conversation
it took the QUNT 10 yrs to support lfc....................that says it all
LOL - can we all play?
Liverpool FC is like Brigitte Bardot. The most sexy model of her day but that day was several decades ago. Since then she got rather menopausal and everything went south. She still has some pulling power to men of a certain age (Dalglish, Hodgson) who remember her glory days but they are bound to be disappointed by the reality. They and many others find it hard to accept the old days are gone.
Cranky and wrinkly, she now spends her time trying to rescue stray animals.
Robert (or Natalia if you prefer)
I Think ED has it right Robertalia ;o)
Ignoring the hyperbole, so do I. But Benitez needs some better home results than he's/we've been getting.
Just to add to that dsteer, I am encouraged to find that, Armchair apart perhaps, the reality of our situation has dawned on just about everyone on this board. Though I like the occasional moan when we take those inevitable backward steps, I have a growing confidence in the way the club is being shaped. I have a better excuse for impatience than our "reclining "friend too, being 70 this month. But, unlike him perhaps, I´m prepared to wait and see for quite a bit yet!

FSG could of course sell Boston Red Sox current value $912m.
According to Forbes.
Just imagine what LFC could do with that money?
Dave...yes u answer to Sofa does make sense but as u say spending on infrastructure doesnt count towards FFP regs. So therefore what Sofa is saying about John Henry selling to a rich Sheik actually does make sense. Why ? Because that Sheik can spend all he wants on a huge 80,000 seater stadium built via 3 round the clock shifts creating a big chunk of employment in the process and during this time we can empty the lists waiting for season tickets on a first come first served basis and voila the club is earning oddles of cash and is fully in compliance with FFP. We might then also be able to compete with Chelski Citeh and UniTURD...IN THE IMMEDIATE TERM ! Which means we could afford to bring in World Class talent such as Cavanni as opposed to Squad Dross like Borini !

Sure, if we can get someone to part with 400M plus to build us a brand new shiny stadium it would help us no end.
But let's live in the real world. Do you really know many people who would lay out that sort of cash? Even Roman was looking for a deal in developing a new Stadium so who thinks we can find someone even more willing to just throw money at a hobby (which is what this person would have to view football as, because it's no business model I've ever heard of) than the Russian.
But put that aside, while it would surely help, would it really be a silver bullet?
First off 80K is out of the question, we had (maybe still have) planning permission for 60K. So that is just over 15K more seats a season. So let's assume 50 quid a ticket on average and what maybe 25 to 30 home games if we have good cup runs, so between 19 and 22M extra a year. Not bad, but not sure an extra 20M a year will transform us overnight.
But you wanted 80K seater, and let's just dispel reality for a moment because to get that size stadium we'll need major upgrades in local infrastructure (widening roads, bus lanes, even light rail) for planning approval. Since the council is not going pay for it our rich new Arab friend will have to, to the tune of I don't know maybe a billion or 1.5B.
Now that might actually help, because again 50 quid a ticket and now an extra 35K extra seats (assuming we sell out for every home game which is a big assumption when you're trying to sell that many tickets) but that translates into 44 to 52M extra a year.
So what about a year to actually build the stadium, at least another 6 months to see the money start coming in and then we can start spending big in the transfer market. Now it took City about 3 years from when the big spending began to break into the top 4, and then another to actually win the title. So that puts us on target for a title win in about 5 years. Sound good!
Or just for fun, how about adding a modest number of seats to Anfield, and upgrading the current facilities so we can earn more from what we've got. We get just under 900 quid per seat per year, while Chelsea with fewer seats actually gets just over 1600 per seat per year. Now part of that is because of London prices, but part is because they just have more luxury boxes and premium seats.
But what it translates to is almost 30M extra each year in match day revenues. (Just so you know size doesn't matter as Newcastle has 7K more seats than us but brings in 8M less per year in match day revenues).
Now do you think that might be realistic? Do you think an extra 20-30M a year in transfer funds might help? And would you prefer we are owned by someone who wants to keep us as we earn them money, rather than someone who just sees his bank account getting smaller each year, and might change his mind about his love of LFC if his 3rd wife or 16th son suddenly asks for a new mega yacht?

Columbus Dispatch
Less than a year before the election, the nationally crucial Ohio race for the U.S. Senate is in pretend mode.
State Treasurer Josh Mandel, the all-but-certain Republican nominee, is raising money feverishly and attacking incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown relentlessly, but he has yet to declare his candidacy and is doing his best to pretend he's too busy being treasurer to run for Senate.
Brown, too, is pretending he's not a candidate, refusing to respond to Mandel's charges, even as an Ohio Democratic Party press aide assigned full time to the race blisters Mandel with near-daily attacks.
"I'm not going to start answering individual charges [Mandel's] making because he's not a candidate," Brown said last week after a Columbus union rally on State Issue 2. "There is no candidate in this race. I've not announced for re-election."
When the two candidates stop pretending and start running for real, the race will be raucous, political experts agree, because at stake is control of the Senate. Currently, Democrats hold 51 seats and Republicans hold 47. Two senators are independents. Republicans need four seats to take the majority and, just like in the presidential race, the outcome could hinge on Ohio.
"If I knew now that Mandel would beat Brown, I'd call the Senate for the Republicans instantly," said Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia.
At this juncture, Mandel, 34, is a distinct underdog against Brown, 59, who has sought to hone an image as a friend of everyday workers during a three-decade career as an Ohio secretary of state and member of Congress. An Oct. 26 Quinnipiac University poll gave Brown 49 percent of the vote and Mandel 34 percent.
After 14 years in the U.S. House, Brown defeated incumbent Republican Sen. Mike DeWine by 12 percentage points in 2006, benefitting from an environment in which Republicans were hurt by scandals and a highly unpopular president, George W. Bush. But 2012 is light-years away from 2006 in politics.
Almost six years later, the president is still unpopular, but this time he's a Democrat, and the 2012 environment could be just as unkind to Democrats as it was to Republicans in 2006. President Barack Obama's popularity numbers are low, the economy is still crummy and the environment, in general, isn't good for incumbents.
Swing voters who swung to the left in the elections of 2006 and 2008 went back to the right in 2010 and appear ready to remain there, said Jennifer Duffy of the Washington-based Cook Political Report.
True, the president is unpopular, but Congress has an even lower approval rating. Actually, most Americans are fed up and disgusted with the entire federal government.
The Republicans who were voted in for the sole reason that they were not Obamacare-approving Democrats, are committing the same sins their predecessors did. I really think a lot of Republicans will be out in 2012. But given the president's performance thus far, I also think if the Republicans could scrape up a reasonable excuse for a candidate, we'd have a new president. But the complete circus that is the Republican presidential race shows that Obama very likely has 4 more years.
Too bad. We Americans deserve better.

In Timber and Stone all of my units have morale bars. I've noticed they drain if I switch professions, however I haven't noticed any effect of them being empty, nor that they ever come back. What is the effect of morale?
At the moment, morale doesn't do anything. Eventually the higher morale they have the harder they work. Robert will hopefully be implement this in version 1.1. He has stated that this is to deter you from switching profession very often.
Edit: so there was no update for it in 1.1, but there might be in a future update.

We are very impressed with Wolf Creek. Perfect snow and NO lines....at spring break?!
We skied Breck 3 days. My daughter kept texting friends at Wolf Creek. They said "best snow and no lines"... we couldn't resist driving down to Wolf Creek and trying it out. That was a great decision.
Two of us had boots. Three of us rented skis in South Fork. My son has a 9.5 foot (27.0), and the knucklehead at Doc's tried to fit my son into a 28.5 boot. My son didn't know any better, but I got that fixed. I knew then I needed to worry about the skis. When we got to the slopes, we found that one of my daughter's bindings hadn't been fitted to the boot. We took it to the rental place at the resort, and they adjusted it for us in a hurry, no problem. Whew! Crises averted. Next time, I will use the rentals at the resort.
It snowed throughout the morning, so it was a little hard to see for awhile, but the new snow was great. It took us a little while to figure out the layout of the runs. But when we really got going, we couldn't get enough. My kids started at beginning ski school day 1 at Breck. We skied there 3 days. At Wolf Creek on our 4th skiing day they turned into ski nuts! By the middle of the afternoon, we were skiing all the blue runs hard, and some of the blacks.
Staff at Wolf Creek were friendly and helpful. Food was reasonable, unlike Breck. The terrain was perfect for us transitioning from blues to blacks, and the snow was terrific. Isn't it great to ski on groomed runs with good fresh power?!
Not much food choice of course in South Fork. No night life at the resort. Not much better at South Fork.
Overall, we thought Wolf Creek was fantastic, and we can't wait to go back. My kids are addicted now to skiing, and we have memories that will last a lifetime. I don't know how it could have been better.

Richard was a very informative tour guide. We enjoyed the tour very much. We were able to see the guards on horseback for the parade
Very nice tour. We appreciated the guide. She show us the good spot to see the parade. I recommande this tour, it's take half day.
Our guide was amazing
Brenda K United States of ...
Excellent! Well worth it. The guide was entertaining and knowledgable . they used radios and ear buds to communicated with us when we weren't on the bus. We could hear without being next to the guide and didn't have to find them in the crowd by the stick they other tour guides had to hold in the air.
Richard, the tour guide, was very informative. We loved seeing the Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. You should definitely take this trip if you have limited time in London. You do see some of the major sights with a little history mixed in.
Very good, pick-up was on time.
nice history of London
Loved this tour!!! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of London. We loved his enthusiasm and friendliness. You can tell he truly love what he does!
Bea Edmundson
Great experience!
It is a good way to see the changing of guard ceremony and part of London!
The tour guide really knew how to get us to see the best view of the changing of the guard. The commentary from her on the bus tour was entertaining. I loved going around on the bus and following along with a map so I could get a handle on London. I felt very oriented and excited to explore after the tour.
Wonderful! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and extremely personable! She made the tour a lot of fun for my and others first visit to London.
This tour was amazing!
The tour was great, our guide got us in the perfect position to see the changing of the guard. Everything else was to be expected from a bus tour but the bus did have wifi which was awesome
Tour was super fun!! Comfortable tour bus with the right amount of people (25-30) and plenty of good information. Great stops for photo opps and very enjoyable! Wished I had booked more!!
We had a wonderful experience on our tour. Even the weather cooperated for the Changing of the Guard Ceremony.
Our only comment would be to just give us a little more information as to where we would actually meet the tour. We were glad that we walked the afternoon before and found where we needed to be. We first of all went to Victoria Station. Being Canadian it didn't click that coach station meant bus station and was a
different building and location. Then when we took the taxi the next morning he informed us that there were two Victoria Coach stations and which one did we want. It was a good thing that we had found the right one the day before.
Our tour guide was excellent and we had a great time. Thank You so much!
Merle and Joan Krause and Dave and Marlene Dow
What an amazing experience! We were able to get the best views and photos of the Changing of the Guard. Our tour guide made sure of that! She was very professional, friendly, and knowledgable. She made sure we were standing in the right place at the right time to get the best pictures! The bus tour overall was relaxing and informative. I would definitely recommend this tour. Even my children had a great time (ages 6 and 10).
Jack Kennedy USA
Excellent and insightful guide who knows how to navigate to get this best results.
Fabulous. Guide was the best. We could have touched them going by we were so close.
This was absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide Reese was great!!! The moment he had us walk along side the guards I was hooked. What an experience.
We loved it! our guide was good and we enjoyed the changing of guards, it was a great experience. Definitely good for family and friends to experience seeing the guards marching to Buckingham palace.
very beautiful gard. specially the changing of the gard. We didn't enter the westminster appy though, because it was sunday!
We loved it. We saw the changing of the horse guards ceremony and the guide was very informative.
Most enjoyable and informative. Excellent Guide.
Our Tour Guide , Rodney, and Driver Mark. Made this Tour Special! Our first visit to London, and they gave us a real View of London the City, Cultural Center, and, Heart of the UK. Loved this tour, and I highly recommend it to everyone.
Most notable, Rodney positioned us, in a Perfect Spot, to watch the Changing of the Guard, in front of the Palace. Wonderful Time, Money well spent.
this tour was great it was nice just sitting on the bus and watching all the wonderful sights go by. the changing of the guard is fantastic to watch but very crowded, stay near the fences when the come gown the road, then if you can stand on a wall so you can see them over the big wall at buckingham

Cervical Cancer Treatment (Professional) (cont.)
Stage 0 Cervical Cancer
Consensus guidelines have been issued for managing women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or adenocarcinoma in situ.[1] Properly treated, tumor control of in situ cervical carcinoma should be nearly 100%. Either expert colposcopic-directed biopsy or cone biopsy is required to exclude invasive disease before therapy is undertaken. A correlation between cytology and colposcopic-directed biopsy is also necessary before local ablative therapy is done. Even so, unrecognized invasive disease treated with inadequate ablative therapy may be the most common cause of failure.[2] Failure to identify the disease, lack of correlation between the Pap smear and colposcopic findings, adenocarcinoma in situ, or extension of disease into the endocervical canal makes a laser, loop, or cold-knife conization mandatory. The choice of treatment will also depend on several patient factors including age, desire to preserve fertility, and medical condition. Most importantly, the extent of disease must be known.
In selected cases, the outpatient loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) may be an acceptable alternative to cold-knife conization. This quickly performed in-office procedure requires only local anesthesia and obviates the risks associated with general anesthesia for cold-knife conization.[3,4] However, controversy exists as to the adequacy of LEEP as a replacement for conization.[5] A trial comparing LEEP with cold-knife cone biopsy showed no difference in the likelihood of complete excision of dysplasia.[6] However, two case reports suggested that the use of LEEP in patients with occult invasive cancer led to an inability to accurately determine depth of invasion when a focus of the cancer was transected.[7]
Standard treatment options:
Methods to treat ectocervical lesions include the following:
When the endocervical canal is involved, laser or cold-knife conization may be used for selected patients to preserve the uterus and avoid radiation therapy and/or more extensive surgery.
Total abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy is an accepted therapy for the postreproductive age group and is particularly indicated when the neoplastic process extends to the inner cone margin. For medically inoperable patients, a single intracavitary insertion with tandem and ovoids for 5,000 mg hours (80 Gy vaginal surface dose) may be used.[12]
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with stage 0 cervical cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
