A Diabetic in Cold and Flu Season
Things to watch out for when you catch what's going around the office.
By Walt Raleigh
Events that are minor annoyances for non-diabetics--like catching "the cold that's going around the office"--can turn into major problems for people with diabetes if not carefully managed.
There are two main concerns that diabetics have with cold and flu season that most people don't:
1. The risk of dehydration, which exists for anyone who gets sick, can be especially bad for people with diabetes.
2. When the body is under stress, as it is when you get sick, the hormones released by your body can further interfere with your metabolism.
The "cold and flu season" may not officially start until October. But if Harry and David can send me my Christmas fruit-basket gift list right after Labor Day, we can start talking now about self-defense for diabetics facing viral respiratory infections.
Especially since, dammit, I'm writing this column with a box of tissues and a cup of hot tea with lemon by my side. (Yes, I've got what's going around. Thanks for asking.)
Herewith, some thoughts (and links) for coping with cold and flu season.
The best defense is a good offense: Try to avoid getting sick in the first place.
Yeah, I know... this sounds a lot like the wry wilderness survival advice that the Royal Air Force once famously used to give its pilots: "Try to crash in the summer months, when there's likely to be more edible fruit around."
But if taking commonsense precautions can keep you healthy, doesn't it make sense to try?
The number one recommendation: Wash your hands. A lot. (And definitely don't eat anything or touch your face before you've done so.)
When flu shots become available later this fall, get one. The Centers for Disease Control ahttp://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/treatment-and-care/medication/flu-and-pneumonia-shots.html" target="_blank">get a flu shot every year.
And if you haven't had one before, or if it's been several years, ask your doctor whether you need a pneumonia shot as well.
Even when you do all the right things to take care of yourself, it's hard to get through the year without catching one case of the common cold... most adults catch two to four colds a year, or more if they're around potent reservoirs of infection, e.g., school-age children.
If you come down with the creeping crud, plan for some downtime, and manage your illness aggressively:
-- Drink plenty of fluids so that you don't get dehydrated.
-- Monitor your blood glucose levels carefully - you might want to check more often than you normally do.
-- Make sure that you're eating properly - always important, but doubly so when you're under the weather. (Chicken soup is good for you, for a lot of reasons!)
-- If you're experiencing vomiting and diarrhea for more than a few hours, get in touch with your doctor or go to the emergency room if you have to.
The American Diabetes Association has some other good guidelines for self-care here.
Getting a cold is a drag, no doubt about it, but you can do some elementary things that will keep it from developing into a major problem.

text: Bank Of Ireland To Raise 470 Mln Euros In Loan Sale To Sumitomo 11/28/2011 4:44 AM ET Bank of Ireland (Gov & Co) (IRE, BKIR.L) Monday said it has agreed to sell another 0.59 billion euros worth of Project Finance loans to entities within Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., a subsidiary of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc.(SMFG). The bank said cash proceeds from the recent transaction of around 0.47 billion euros (before transaction and related costs) will be used to further reduce its funding from monetary authorities in accordance with its deleveraging plan. No impact is anticipated on the company's core Tier 1 ratio. The consideration is estimated to be around 85 percent of the total loan commitment or about 84 percent of the amount drawn.The loans relate to a portfolio of infrastructure and energy assets across North America and Europe, the company said. It was on October 14 that the company announced divestments of non-core loan portfolio of about 5 billion euros, including the sale of Project Finance loans of nearly 0.67 billion euros for a price of about 92 percent of commitments. Both these transactions, combined with other agreed or completed sales and deleveraging initiatives within the Project Finance portfolio, will total around 1.55 billion euros in the year, at an average price of about 90 percent of commitments. Last month end, real estate investment and services firm Kennedy Wilson Holdings Inc. (KW) agreed to buy, jointly with its institutional partners, a loan portfolio from the bank for $1.8 billion. The first phase of $1.4 billion portfolio purchase was closed on October 21 and the additional $400 million will be closed by the end of November. In June this year, Kennedy Wilson had acquired Bank of Ireland Real Estate Investment Management, a business that represents about $2.3 billion of assets under management.On July 25, the Irish Government reached an agreement with a group of institutional investors and fund managers to sell about 14 percent stake in Bank of Ireland for up to 1.123 billion euros, helping the bank avert a possible nationalization. Bank of Ireland said today it continues to make good progress in sales processes in respect of other non-core loan portfolios.IRE closed Friday's regular trading at $4 on the NYSE. BKIR.L is currently trading at 0.08 pence, up 5.13 percent, on a volume of 4.37 million shares on the LSE. by RTT Staff WriterFor comments and feedback: email@example.com News Biotech Stocks Facing FDA Decision In April Top Ten Female CEOs Crack The Glass Ceiling Housing Data, Fed Speeches in the Spotlight -Economic Preview for Week of March 20

rip your dvds let me know how fast the storage goes then.
OK Just ripped all my DVDs and they take up 0GB. I do not want to re-watch anything enough for it to be worth buying.
That's why they use BCD or some other type of decimal encoding. Spreadsheets can be a problem, though. I remember (back in the early days of PCs) trying to explain to a financial analyst that there wasn't a bug in his spreadsheet when the cross checks on his calculations where coming up with a (very small) inequality.
I would guess that they store currency in the smallest unit possible (cnets in USA pence in UK) so £100 is stored as 10000 pence and then put the decimal point in dor display purposes only. Far eaiser to do calculations with than BCD.
And oddly, I also know a number of people who are generally right-handed, but left-handed when it comes to sports/athletics.
I guess this is something to do with them actually being more left handed than right handed and there is less preduice against left handedness in sport than in the rest of the world. How many right handed people would be left handed if the world was generally left handed?

But the armed forces aren't the only guilty parties. Residents quarried for rocks, gravel and even sand for building materials, Tekinene says, promoting erosion. These days, construction materials for big projects must be imported. International aid organizations have also contributed to the problem—for instance, by encouraging Tuvaluans in the late 1980s to replenish a sea wall with beach rubble tossed ashore by a cyclone. The wall has disintegrated, and the shoreline, once protected by the rubble, is exposed.
And then there's the population boom. Since 1980, the population of Funafuti has more than doubled, from about 2,000 to 4,500, or almost half of Tuvalu's citizenry. "It can be a little tricky to judge which environmental effects are induced locally by humans and which are created by human societies outside Tuvalu," Tekinene says.
In a way, Tuvalu is the planet writ small. Its poor environmental stewardship (which may hasten the effects of global warming) is no more egregious than that of most other, bigger countries. But because it is fragile, remote, resource-poor and low-lying, Tuvalu has less room for error than most other nations. The consequences—and the future—arrive sooner. And with greater force.
In a spotless kitchen decorated with children's drawings in suburban Auckland, New Zealand, I drink tea with Koloa Talake, a Tuvalu native and the nation's prime minister for nine months starting in December 2001. Talake had served on the board of a California company that in 2000 purchased the rights to Tuvalu's Internet domain address extension (.tv), and he helped negotiate its resale to another U.S. company in 2002. That same year,Talake announced that Tuvalu, joined by Kiribati and the Maldives, planned to sue the United States and Australia at the International Court of Justice in the Hague. The plaintiffs had planned to argue that the developed nations' disproportionate carbon dioxide emissions contributed to global warming, which poses a threat to the islanders. But Talake failed in his reelection bid later that year, and the new government has not pursued the litigation. Whether a nation could prevail in such a lawsuit is open to question. For one thing, establishing a direct link between a particular nation's greenhouse gas emissions and harm to Tuvalu is problematic. For another, the United States does not accept the jurisdiction of most international courts.
Talake says he had hoped his lawsuits would bring Tuvalu "several million dollars for the damage caused by emissions." But that was secondary, he adds: "We are asking for a place to live if the tide comes against us. There are a lot of places in Australia and maybe America with no people." He and his wife, Tilesa, now live in Auckland, along with their two sons, an engineer and a chef, and their families. "We have no children left in Tuvalu to take care of us," he says.
Talake is part of a growing Tuvaluan community in New Zealand of some 2,000. Affluent Tuvaluans have long traveled here for higher education and good healthcare, but today's newcomers more often pick strawberries for a living. I meet some of them at a church service in an Auckland suburb on a gray, blustery Sunday. The Reverend Suamalie Iosefa smiles broadly. But his face is weary. As a preacher and mental health worker, he deals with problems born of poverty and overcrowding, not to mention the shock of social dislocation. "Imagine moving from a nation without a stoplight to a modern city of a million people," he says.
Iosefa thinks New Zealand offers a brighter future than Tuvalu "education-wise, health-wise, and especially because people feel threatened by global warming." Acknowledging that threat, New Zealand's government in 2002 established a new quota program for Pacific Islanders, which allows up to 75 Tuvaluans a year to immigrate. But Iosefa says no more than 21 people were approved in 2003.
As the voices of the men's and women's choirs rise in the hall, the stalwart hymns of England take wing on the rich harmonies of Polynesia. Most of the assembled, some 200 adults and children, sit or recline on mats. A quarter of the people in the room have overstayed their visas and face deportation. But Sutema Keakea, who has two young daughters and is 39 weeks pregnant, is among the lucky ones. A bank employee in Tuvalu, she just received approval for permanent residency under the new program. She left Tuvalu to be near other relatives, she says: "People do say they're afraid of global warming and sea level rise, but I just don't know."
On this day, some of the Tuvaluans say they ponder the story of Noah and the Flood for clues to their future. "In Noah," says one man, "the rainbow was a sign of God's promise that there won't ever be another flood again." But another congregant disagrees. "Sea level will rise because things are different now from the old days," he says. "The world God created was perfect, but people have made it imperfect."

It must be the week of casting confirmations. Is somebody handing out door prizes? Kim Bum has confirmed that he will be joining the cast of the new Noh Hee-kyung melodrama That Winter, The Wind Blows, due out — you guessed it — this winter. It would just be wrong otherwise, no? He'll be re-teaming with the writer and director duo from his last drama, Padam Padam.
The melodrama stars Jo In-sung as a high-class gambler, playboy, and general misanthrope who doesn't care about anything after the death of his first love. He's a con artist who preys on the rich and sets his sights on a new target: Song Hye-gyo, the sole heiress to a giant conglomerate. She tragically loses her parents, and her eyesight, and then her brother goes missing. Did someone kill her puppy too? Damn, universe.
Kim Bum will be playing Jo In-sung's bestie and right-hand man, Park Jin-sung. Jin-sung is a character who could be laughing one moment, and then suddenly turn on a dime and be icy cold the next. Ooh, I can see Kim Bum playing up that duality nicely. The two BFFs meet in college, and Jin-sung is actually a good-hearted guy who dreams of saving up enough money to buy his father an organic cow farm. How sweet. He won't be without his downsides though, as he has a quick-temper, and is the hothead to Jo In-sung's cool, collected hero.
It looks like the bromance might be the thing to watch this drama for… so… it's pretty much Padam Redux?
That Winter is planning for an early 2013 broadcast on KBS.

Brown rice four ways
I ate a lot of brown rice this week. I precooked the brown rice and then made easy and quick meals later in the week.
Brown rice and stir-fry made with fresh (not frozen) vegetables, and Gardein Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick'n. I have been eating very little processed foods lately, but I was craving this fake chicken and since I already had some in the freezer, I used it in this stir-fry.
This lovely green dish is brown rice with raw spinach and cooked green peas.
Brown rice and black beans topped with tomato salsa, green onions, and crushed tortilla chips.
Edamame, brown rice and bell pepper medley.

Tsunami Talkin Poppers are some of the most consistent big bluefish producers on the market. These topwater plugs can elicit dramatic aerial strikes when they are chugged across the surface. I love to shoot these yellow-eyed maniacs when they are crushing topwater plugs. On a personal level, I favor the Electro Schoolbus color for big bluefish. I always remove the belly hooks and replace the tail hook with a single barbless hook when targeting toothy gamefish for C&R. The Tsunami Talking Popper comes in four sizes 4 inch (7/8oz), 5 inch(1 3/8oz) ,6 inch (2 1/4oz) & 7 inch (3oz) inch models.

Orgeron not planning to leave USC
Given Ed Orgeron's strong national reputation, and the recent instability on the USC coaching staff, it's a reasonable question: Does Orgeron intend to leave USC?
Orgeron gave a rather emphatic ''no'' in comments posted on USC's official website Tuesday.
''I'm a Trojan,'' Orgeron said. ''I'm a Trojan and I'm not wavering from that. I'm here. I made a commitment to (Athletic Director) Pat Haden and (Coach) Lane Kiffin and the USC Trojan family.''
Orgeron is three years into his second stint at USC, and recently had his title changed from ''defensive coordinator'' to ''assisant head coach.'' Orgeron's duties haven't really changed, though. He remains the coach of the defensive line and the recruiting coordinator and has the ear of Coach Lane Kiffin in matters concerning the defense in general.
After USC's 7-6 season, though, there's been a lot of change. Defensive architect Monte Kiffin resigned and was replaced by new defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast. Linebackers coach Scottie Hazelton took a job at Nevada. Offensive coordinator Kennedy Polamalu and secondary coach Marvin Sanders were fired.
With spring practice just a couple weeks away, it remains unknown who will be calling offensive plays for USC in 2013. That job belongs to Lane Kiffin now, and even when Kiffin hires a new coordinator, he might retain play-calling duties. That's a possible scenario if Kiffin promotes quarterbacks coach Clay Helton. It's also possible that Kiffin will hire a new offensive-line coach and move James Cregg to a different position.
In any event, it appears as though Orgeron's status is stable. First brought on during the Paul Hackett era, Orgeron became a huge part of USC's success under Pete Carroll. Orgeron left to become head coach at Mississippi in 2005 and held that job for three seasons until he was fired. After one season in the NFL and one with Kiffin at Tennessee, Orgeron returned to USC in 2010.
''All I needed to do was leave USC one time,'' Orgeron said. ''In fact, the last time I left USC, I was on the plane (and) I wanted the plane to turn around and I wanted to come back. My wife and my family and I talked about it. If we ever got back to USC, we're not leaving. I'm here.''
Orgeron also talked about USC's recruiting class. The Trojans got a handful of stellar prep players but signed a total of only 13, and had several recruits choose other schools over USC at the last minute. Orgeron talked about USC's high-risk, high-reward strategy of going after only the top players nationally.
''At the end, we were going after a couple five-star players across the country,'' Orgeron said. ''For one reason or another, they didn't come. We had some (backup options) available, but we didn't feel that they were the best players available at that time, so we didn't go after them.''

He is the editor-in-chief of Al-Wasat, an Arabic language independent daily newspaper. He is also the second son of the Shia spiritual leader Sheikh Abdul-Amir al-Jamri, who died in 2006.
A few months after he was born in the village of Bani Jamra, al-Jamri moved with his family to Iraq where his father continued his religious studies. To his delight, al-Jamri returned to Bahrain in 1973 and five years later graduated from high school. In 1979 he moved to the United Kingdom (UK) to continue his higher education. Between 1987 and 2001, al-Jamri lived in self-imposed exile in UK where he became the spokesman of the opposition group, Bahrain Freedom Movement. Following a series of reforms of which he was initially skeptical of, al-Jamri returned to Bahrain in December 2001. He co-founded Al-Wasat in September 2002 and became its editor-in-chief since then. The newspaper, said to be the only one offering independent and non-sectarian coverage in Bahrain was a success, becoming the country's most popular and profitable. Al-Jamri writes daily columns described to be moderate and non-sectarian.
When the Bahraini uprising started in February 2011, Al-Wasat and al-Jamri covered both sides of the conflict. Al-Jamri was involved in reconciliation talks until 15 March when Saudi troops entered Bahrain. That day, Al-Wasat printing facility was destroyed. Its employees which already faced harassment by groups of youths had to work from home. The next month, the newspaper was charged by government to publishing fabricated news about the uprising and was suspended. Al-Jamri acknowledged his mistake, but said he was set up and downplayed the impact of the false news. He resigned from his position and the newspaper was allowed to publish the next day. He was subsequently charged and convicted of publishing false news. In August, Al-Wasat board of directors reinstated him back to his position.
Early life and education[edit]
Mansoor al-Jamri was born in Bahrain on 17 December 1961.[5] Al-Jamri's father Sheikh Abdul Amir is a Shia cleric who became the leader of the opposition and the spiritual father of the Shia during the 1990s uprising in Bahrain.[6][7] His mother, Zahra' is the grand daughter of the renovator Shia khatib Mulla Atiya al-Jamri.[8][9] They were married in Bahrain in 1957.[8] Abdul Amir was 20 and Zahra', his cousin's grand daughter was 16.[8]
Few months after his birth, al-Jamri family traveled to Najaf, Iraq where his father continued his religious studies.[5] At the time, al-Jamri's family was composed of his parents and his 2-year-old brother Mohammed Jameel.[5] He studied for five years at the Talibiya primary school which was also attended by some Bahrainis such as Sami, the elder son of Isa Qassim.[10] Having no TV at home, al-Jamri and his siblings spent most of their time listening to stories told by their mother or playing with kites outside.[11] At the age of 9, he began practicing Islamic prayers and fasting in Ramadan.[12]
In his book Non-scattered memories of Najaf, al-Jamri describes the dire situation in Iraq following the rise of Ba'ath party in 1968.[13] He writes that the "biggest tragedy" he witnessed was the deportation of Iraqis of Iranian origins, some of whom were his neighbors.[14] Al-Jamri and his school colleagues were often forced to take part in pro and anti-Ba'athist protests.[15]
Al-Jamri's first memories in Bahrain were during a visit with father during the month of Ramadan.[16] Although he was mocked by other kids due to his partly Iraqi accent, al-Jamri said he was very happy with the visit as he found his village Bani Jamra much more "open" than Najaf.[17] In 1973, al-Jamri returned to Bahrain with his family, spending 11 years of his life in Iraq.[18] He said his father's decision to return to Bahrain was the "best news I have ever received" and that to him Bahrain represented "freedom and eternal joy".[19]
In 1978, al-Jamri graduated from high school, technical sector.[12] In 1979, he traveled to the United Kingdom to continue his higher education after receiving a scholarship from Ministry of Education.[12][20] He studied mechanical engineering at the University of the West of Scotland (Paisley University) of which he holds the doctorate degree.[3][21] Trouble followed al-Jamri during his visits to Bahrain as he was questioned by security forces in 1980, his passport withdrawn for a year in 1982 and in 1987 he was not able to find a job.[12] In 1987, al-Jamri immigrated to Britain which he held its citizenship.[20] He lived in self-imposed exile for 14 years during which he continued his studies and became the spokesman of the opposition group Bahrain Freedom Movement.[12][20] He was also a "frequent guest on international news outlets such as the BBC."[22]
Al-Jamri is married to Reem Khalifa, a columnist and reporter working for Al-Wasat and the Associated Press. Unlike Mansoor, she follows the Sunni branch of Islam.[23][24][25] She was described by the New York Times as a "woman of Western tastes".[26] Khalifa comes from a leftist family.[27]
Founding of Al-Wasat[edit]
In 1999, then-Emir (now King) Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa began a reform process and in 2001 exiles were told they could come back.[28] Rejecting an offer to become a cabinet minister[26][29] and leaving his leading position in the opposition,[30] al-Jamri returned from the United Kingdom in December 2001, eight months after his father had obtained a consent from the Emir to establish two newspapers.[20] Initially, he was sceptical about the king's reform plan,[31] but al-Jamri received a personal invitation by the king and was given a large margin of freedom of expression.[23][26] Al-Jamri, backed by 39 other private investors (US$5.3 million capital) had initially planned to establish two independent newspapers, Al-Wasat in Arabic and Gulf Observer in English.[20]
Al-Wasat (literally, "The Center"[32]) was founded on September 2002 and its co-founder al-Jamri became its editor-in-chief.[33] By 2011 it had become the country's most popular newspaper with a daily circulation of 15,000[33] and readership of 45,000[22] to 60,000.[34] It employed 200 individuals, a quarter of them worked as reporters or editors.[33] Its coverage was described by Committee to Protect Journalists as independent and non-sectarian, however this did not spare it from occasional harassment and political pressure.[3] Al-Wasat is the only independent and non-sectarian newspaper in the county[35][36] and is also "widely credited with being the first Bahraini newspaper to voice opposition views".[4] Although it also covers the government point of view,[23] the newspaper is sometimes classified as siding with opposition.[37] According to Margaret Warner of PBS NewsHour, Al-Wasat is the "most popular and profitable newspaper" in Bahrain and al-Jamri's column is a "voice for non-sectarian moderation".[23]
Bahraini uprising[edit]
Beginning in February 2011, Bahrain saw sustained pro-democracy protests, centered at Pearl Roundabout in the capital of Manama, as part of the wider Arab Spring. Authorities responded with a night raid on 17 February (later referred to by protesters as Bloody Thursday), which left four protesters dead and more than 300 injured.[38] In March, martial law was declared and Saudi troops were called in. Despite the hard crackdown and official ban, the protests continued.[39]
Role of al-Jamri and Al-Wasat[edit]
During the uprising, Al Wasat was a voice for "moderation and prudence" that urged compromise from both sides[3][26] and its popularity reportedly increased by 30 percent.[34] In his columns, al-Jamri criticized the government for its repression and protesters for blocking a main highway.[26] Al-Jamri said he was involved in meditation efforts between the two sides of the conflict until 15 March after Saudi troops had entered Bahrain.[26] He added that he refused to be hosted on Al-Manar and Al-Alam News Network, because "their rhetoric is not in accordance with Al-Wasat's".[30] This however, did not spare Al-Wasat from the effects of the unrest as its printing facility was surrounded by youths who harassed employees since 12 March.[32]
Three days later, the facility was attacked at 1am by a club-wielding-gang that "attack[ed] the touch screens and computers of the printing machine," said the head of Al-Wasat printing press.[32][40] That day Al-Wasat was printed by another newspaper.[32] Employees had to work from home as "hundreds of vigilantes encircled the area", they (employees) were harassed in checkpoints and authorities reportedly failed to protect them even after getting contacted.[23][26][29] Al-Jamri reported receiving death threats via phone and getting intimidated by government informers.[3] "One of our photographers had camera smashed into his head and needed hospitalization, several distributors were beaten, and one columnist disappeared for a month. But under all of these circumstances, we continued," al-Jamri said.[29]
Suspension of Al-Wasat and resignation of al-Jamri[edit]
On 2 April, following a three-hour[22] episode on Bahrain TV alleging it had published false and fabricated news and images in its 26 and 29 March editions, Al-Wasat was forced to close down and had its website blocked by the Information Affairs Authority (IAA).[35][41] The state-run Bahrain News Agency accused it of "unethical" media coverage of the events of the uprising[33] and the IAA released a 30-page report "detailing Al Wasat's alleged transgressions".[35] The news and images turned out to be either from other countries or from previous events.[26] The newspaper did not publish an edition on 3 April.[40] Al-Jamri acknowledged that the reports identified in Bahrain TV show were false, but said he and his staff did not "knowingly [publish] false information".[35]
The ban was lifted a day later after al-Jamri and two other top editors had resigned.[40] Al-Jamri said his resignation was "needed to safeguard the newspaper and the livelihood of its staff."[42] On 4 April, Al-Wasat resumed publishing under the supervision of two Iraqi editors.[26] The two temporary editors were questioned in the National Security Agency and were deported along with their families after they had refused to confess against al-Jamri.[26][35] Al-Jamri and the two editors who resigned were subsequently questioned[35] and charged with "publishing fabricated news and made up stories... that may harm public safety and national interests."[43]
Unlike other cases which were brought before a military court, their first trial session on 18 May was before the (civilian) High Criminal Court and was postponed to June.[23][44] Al-Jamri said before a trial session on 19 June that the fabricated news articles were sent to Al-Wasat from a Saudi IP address and that they were not verified properly due to the previous attacks on Al-Wasat.[43] "It was a setup. We were framed into it, and later on attacked, using – using it as a launching pad for closing down the newspaper," al-Jamri said in a press interview.[23] "If a bank CEO wanted to steal, he wouldn't steal just 20 dollars, maybe he'd steal 2 million. The fabricated news were of the price of 20 dollars," he added.[30]
Human Rights Watch (HRW) said the charges were politically motivated and asked authorities to drop them, allow al-Jamri back to his position and "cease their campaign to silence independent journalism".[35] The advocacy group added that following al-Jamri's resignation, Al-Wasat's coverage of human rights violations decreased significantly.[35] "Bahrain's rulers are showing they have no shame by muzzling the one media outlet that was widely regarded as the country's only independent news source," Joe Stork of HRW said.[35] The Committee to Protect Journalists condemned the actions of Bahraini government and described them as "strong-arm tactics".[26][42] The non-government organization added that its research supported claims by al-Jamri that the government was behind planting the false news.[22] Mohammed al-Maskati of Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights accused the Ministry of Interior of planting the fake stories.[26] "They wanted him to quit, and the paper has totally changed," he added.[26]
On 4 August, al-Jamri was reinstated back to his position by the board of directors.[34] On 11 October, al-Jamri and his colleagues were found guilty by the court and fined US$2,650 each.[45] Subsequently, al-Jamri received two international awards; the CPJ International Press Freedom Award in 2011[3] and the Next Century Foundation's Peace Through Media Award in 2012.[4] In September 2011, Al-Wasat won the UNICEF regional award for electronic media[46] and in May 2012, it was ranked top in the Media Credibility Index ahead of Al Jazeera, BBC, Agence France-Presse and more than a dozen other media outlets.[47]
Al-Jamri has written two books in Arabic, Memories of Childhood (2007) and Interventions on Thought and Politics (2008).[21] The former is a narrative of al-Jamri's childhood in Iraq, the experiences he had and the events he witnessed.[48] He was motivated to write it by people's reactions following the death of his father and dedicated the book to his memory.[49] The latter deals with political and ideological concepts in Europe and the Muslim world, and how Muslim countries can benefit from them in order to consolidate the political pluralism within the Islamic theme.[50] Al-Jamri also writes a daily column in Al-Wasat and regular articles on politics and human rights for other publications such as Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.[1][3]

This report describes the typical weather at the Doctor Fernando Piragine Niveyro International Airport (Corrientes, Argentina) weather station over the course of an average July. It is based on the historical records from 2009 to 2012. Earlier records are either unavailable or unreliable.
Corrientes has a warm humid temperate climate with hot summers and no dry season. The area within 25 mi of this station is covered by grasslands (73%), floodplains (18%), and lakes and rivers (7%).
The month of July is characterized by gradually falling daily high temperatures, with daily highs ranging from 69°F to 67°F over the course of the month, exceeding 78°F or dropping below 58°F only one day in ten.
Over the course of July, the length of the day is essentially constant. The shortest day of the month is July 3 with 10:27 hours of daylight; the longest day is July 31 with 10:50 hours of daylight.
The earliest sunrise is at 7:37am on July 31; the latest sunset is at 6:26pm on July 30; the latest sunrise is at 7:46am on July 5; the earliest sunset is at 6:13pm on July 1.
Daylight savings time (DST) is not observed in 2012.
The median cloud cover ranges from 49% (partly cloudy) to 58% (partly cloudy). The trend is for the sky to be clearing with the median cloud cover decreasing by 8% from the start to the end of the month.
On July 16, a representative day, the sky is clear or mostly clear 25% of the time, partly cloudy 10% of the time, and mostly cloudy or overcast 29% of the time.
The probability that precipitation will be observed at this location varies throughout the month. Precipitation is most likely around July 3, occurring in 27% of days. Precipitation is least likely around July 28, occurring in 21% of days.
Throughout July, the most common forms of precipitation are thunderstorms and drizzle.
Thunderstorms are the most severe precipitation observed during 47% of those days with precipitation. They are most likely around July 1, when it is observed during 13% of all days.
Drizzle is the most severe precipitation observed during 37% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around July 20, when it is observed during 11% of all days.
Either snow is exceptionally unlikely to fall at this location in July or this station does not reliably report precipitation types.
The relative humidity typically ranges from 45% (comfortable) to 93% (very humid) over the course of a typical July, rarely dropping below 36% (comfortable) and reaching as high as 98% (very humid).
The air is driest around July 31, at which time the relative humidity drops below 51% (mildly humid) three days out of four; it is most humid around July 2, rising above 90% (very humid) three days out of four.
Dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find the weather than relative humidity because it more directly relates to whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid.
Over the course of a typical July, the dew point typically varies from 39°F (dry) to 56°F (comfortable) and is rarely below 32°F (dry) or above 65°F (mildy humid).
The time of the month between July 1 and July 24 is the most comfortable, with dew points that are neither too dry nor too muggy.
Over the course of July typical wind speeds vary from 2 mph to 14 mph (light air to moderate breeze), rarely exceeding 17 mph (moderate breeze).
The highest average wind speed of 8 mph (gentle breeze) occurs around July 30, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 14 mph (moderate breeze).

jit.qt.movie read URL strange behaviour
Hello all,
I am trying to read a jpg image from my IP camera via network and I use jit.qt.movie + read URL. It seems the jit.qt.movie object stucks reading the same image. In other words, the IP camera changes the images but keeps the same name (image.jpg) and the qt object doesn't load the new image. I know the topic was discussed here http://cycling74.com/forums/topic.php?id=11787 but the dispose msg in this case has no effect.
Other methods to read the video stream are useless to my purposes due to the long time delay of QT rtsp (see http://cycling74.com/forums/topic.php?id=31827 )
last thing, the only way so far is to use jit.uldl but in this case I'd have a disk read/write process I'd prefer to avoid.
I had a similar issue a couple years ago and ended up going with jit.uldl. I'm sorry I don't remember the details, but it might have had to do with the exact type of mjpeg streaming not working with QT. I could be wrong.
Sorry I'm not actually much help…
thank you Simon, if no other solution shows up I'll go for uldl.
Can this be considered a QT or a jitter bug? Maybe Jeremy Bernstein should read this post?
ah, the same problem happens if I use importmovie imageURL to a jit.matrix…
Is this relevant?
hm.. nope.
rtsp works. but it still comes with 3 seconds delay which is useless for my purposes.
(I use a different IP camera (intellinet NFC31/NFC31-WG))
One image at a time would be good enough. Unfortunately it cannot load it correctly.
http://camera_ip/jpg/image.jpg works with safari. it doesn't with jit.qt.movie !
too bad. Will go for jit.uldl.
@admant : beyond the delay problems did you really get RTSP to work in jit.qt.movie ?
I'm struggling to get it working at all (in 6.1.0). Weither I'm using streams from jit.qt.broadcast via an SDP file, from a local DSS, or some public streams online that playback fine in VLC, all I get from jit.qt.movie is a "network error -1" in the dumpout.
Ignore previous comment. Got it working.
I have problems with this too right now..
It's working, but super slow at times..

By Herbert Lash
NEW YORK, Dec 3 Global shares and crude oil pared gains on Monday after U.S. manufacturing activity hit a three-year low in November, offsetting signs of revived growth in China.
Wall Street opened higher, following gains in European equity markets on upbeat factory data from China and a slower contraction in European manufacturing. But U.S. shares subsequently trimmed gains to trade near break-even.
The euro leaped to its highest level against the U.S. dollar in six weeks as concerns abated about debt-burdened Greece and Spain while Chinese data allayed worries about global growth.
But concerns over budget dealings in Washington over the "fiscal cliff" remained the primary focus of investors.
"At this point, all you can say about the data is they are discounting it," said Paul Mendelsohn, chief investment strategist at Windham Financial Services in Charlotte, Vermont. "So barring some catastrophe here in terms of the fiscal cliff, we look pretty stable."
In a sign U.S. manufacturing may be struggling to gain traction, the Institute for Supply Management said its index of national factory activity fell to 49.5 from 51.7 in October. The figure was the softest since July 2009, when the U.S. economy was struggling in the aftermath of the financial crisis and may have been affected by superstorm Sandy, which hit the U.S. East Coast in late October.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 11.71 points, or 0.09 percent, at 13,013.87. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 0.78 points, or 0.06 percent, at 1,416.96. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 4.66 points, or 0.15 percent, at 3,014.90.
European shares gave up most of their gains after hitting a 17-month high, pulled lower by the U.S. manufacturing data and concerns about the U.S. "fiscal cliff" hurting sentiment.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares closed a provisional 0.18 percent higher at 1,121.38, after earlier rising to 1,128.65, its highest level in 17 months.
But world shares as measured by MSCI's all-country world equity index were up 0.1 percent at 333.00.
The euro was up 0.58 percent at $1.3061, while the U.S. dollar index fell 0.37 percent to 79.856.
Copper touched a six-week high on the promising data from China, the world's top metals consumer. But doubts about the soundness of the global economy put a lid on gains.
Benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange hit $8,045 a tonne, the highest since Oct. 19, before receding to $8,015.50, up 0.26 percent.
U.S. Treasuries prices fell on news that Spain is seeking help for its troubled banks and the Chinese manufacturing data reduced safe-haven demand for less-risky government debt.
"You got the Spain news which was expected but it was still welcomed news for risky assets. You also had some pretty good Chinese data. The (bond) market is a little fatigued," said Jason Rogan, director of Treasuries trading at Guggenheim Partners in New York.
The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was down 5/32 in price to yield 1.6301 percent.
Oil rose above $112 per barrel, spurred by signs that growth is picking up in China, before trimming gains, with North Sea Brent turning negative.
Brent futures were off 13 cents at $111.10 per barrel. U.S. crude rose 32 cents to $89.23 per barrel.
