Generations of audiences - more than 60 million people from 68 countries - have seen Lord of the Dance created by Michael Flatley, the world's highest grossing Irish dance show. Presented by MagicSpace Entertainment and Global Entertainment Group, Lord of the Dance returns to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, February 6 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for Lord of the Dance created by Michael Flatley start at $39. Tickets may be purchased at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center's ticket office and online atfoxcitiespac.com. To charge tickets by phone, call Ticketmaster at (800) 982-2787. Orders for groups of 10 or more may be placed by calling (920) 730-3786. Group discounts and additional fees may apply. Creator and Artistic Director Michael Flatley, who added fresh costumes, a visually stimulating set featuring an LED wall and revised lighting and set designs this year, still oversees all aspects of the production. "I've always dreamed of creating an Irish Dance show that touches the hearts of millions of people worldwide," says Flatley. "I am so proud of the cast and crew who bring this vision to life on stage each and every night." Lord of the Dance is a classic tale of good versus evil based on mythical Irish folklore that brings a romantic and passionate love story to stage. Don Dorcha, Lord of Darkness challenges the ethereal lord of light, the Lord of the Dance. "Battle lines are drawn, passions ignite and a love story fueled by the dramatic leaps and turns of dancers' bodies begins to build against a backdrop of Celtic rhythm," says Flatley. "Fans can expect 21 scenes of precision dancing, dramatic music, colorful wardrobes and state-of-the-art staging and lighting." Along with dance director Marie Duffy-Pask, Flatley handpicks the cast of over 40 dancers; each has achieved individual recognition as a national or worldwide dance champion. Lee Marshall, CEO of MagicSpace Entertainment, the tour promoter and veteran of blockbuster entertainment events agrees. "These championship dancers have captivated a new generation of fans, and manage the impossible every night. Their collective spirit and energy takes the audience to a time and place that is as imaginative as it is inviting." Flatley conceptualized and staged the show in a mere 16 weeks but also paid particular attention to the costumes, lighting and staging which are cinematic in scope. "Irish dance lovers and music fans alike will experience the engaging, rhythmic adventures that has helped catapult Celtic dance mania and Irish dancing into the global spotlight," says Flatley. No wonder Lord of the Dance ticket sales exceed more than $800 million worldwide. Described by the New York Post as, "fascinating, rewarding and above all, entertaining," and by the Los Angeles Times as, "a showpiece extravaganza," Lord of the Dance is a mesmerizing blend of traditional and modern Celtic music and dance.

The court-appointed trustee handling the Bernard Madoff bankruptcy is seeking approval to return another $505 million to victims of the massive Ponzi scheme.
If the request is approved by a federal judge, more than 2,000 people who lost money investing with Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities would start receiving checks shortly after a court hearing scheduled in March. If the amount is approved, the total amount returned to victims so far would amount to $5.438 billion.
"Returning the maximum amount of funds stolen in the Madoff Ponzi scheme to their rightful owners remains our mission, and the third interim distribution of recovered money signals ongoing momentum in our efforts," Mr. Picard said in a statement. A court hearing on the proposed payment is scheduled for March 13.
The average payment to each customer will be $458,000, Mr. Picard said, adding that 2,178 accounts are eligible for a payment under the proposed distribution. Of that figure, more than 1,100 will receive all the money back that they claimed to have lost in the fraud, he said.
An estimated $17.3 billion in principal was lost in the Madoff Ponzi scheme, which came to light four years ago. So far, Mr. Picard has recovered roughly $9.3 billion for customers through lawsuits and agreements.
The last distribution to customers was in August, when Mr. Picard won approval to return $3.6 billion to 1,285 accounts.
The latest request for distribution is made possible by a series of recent court victories by Mr. Picard. Last September, a judge signed off on a settlement between Mr. Picard and more than a dozen investment funds associated with Tremont Group Holdings Inc., one of the largest so-called feeder funds that invested with Mr. Madoff.
After clearing a series of legal hurdles the settlement placed another $1 billion in the hands of Mr. Picard earlier in February, paving the way for the most recent payment.
Mr. Madoff pleaded guilty to fraud and other charges in 2009 and is serving a 150-year sentence in a federal prison in North Carolina.

David Gill trails Rodney Davis by 1,283 votes in the Illinois 13th Congressional District. He has made a call for all votes to be counted. (Photo by Zach Dietmeier)
By Zach Dietmeier
BLOOMINGTON - The 14 county clerks of the 13th Congressional District say it might be time for Dr. David Gill to pack up his campaign.
District-wide, 2,527 votes remain outstanding, including absentee, provisional, and military ballots. Gill said early Wednesday that outstanding votes in Macon and Champaign Counties could help close the gap; Macon County Clerk Steve Bean said that won't happen.
"I had a couple of calls from Gill and Gill had some people upstairs who saw we were running a smooth operation," said Gill. "I don't understand. All you have now is what every county has."
Champaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten echoes Bean.
"You can do the math and apply the percentages that we have so far for Davis and Gill," said Hulten. "You can realize that this may affect the margin, but there's no reason to think that 90 percent of these votes are going to one candidate or the other."
Gill cited Champaign and Macon Counties as potential areas where ground could be gained by absentee and provisional ballots, which confused Hulten.
"Honestly, I have no explanation," said Hulten. "We are the biggest county in the district and it's where David Gill did the best. That's the only reason I can think why we were singled out."
Bean agrees.
"Didn't quite understand, and I called and talked to two or three people on the campaign that we're dealing with now," said Bean. "Honestly, I can't remember the last time I talked to Dr. Gill personally. I don't know if I've talked to him this year."
Both clerks say a record return on outstanding ballots would be around 50 percent, or about 1,264 votes. Even if Gill won every single return in that scenario, he would still be short of Republican opponent Rodney Davis by 19 tallies.
With all precincts reporting, Gill trails Davis by 1,283 votes.
Gill would have to win approximately 75 percent of all outstanding ballots to overcome the deficit.

There are huge benefits in what you have itemized. Not only did you get to deduct the amount you paid for the stock, when you contributed it into your RRSP, but now you don't have to pay taxes on the withdrawal of all the money you would have had to, if the stock had gone up.
A very nice happy ending.

Chocolate Meringue and Mint Chip Ice Cream Cake
at a glance
main ingredients Ice Cream, Chocolate, Egg, Milk/Cream
type Kid-Friendly, Frozen Dessert
yield: Makes 8 to 10 servings
- 10 1/2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 large egg whites
- 2 pints mint chip ice cream, slightly softened
- 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate sprinkles
Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 200°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Trace two 12x4-inch rectangles, spaced slightly apart, on 1 paper. Trace one 12x4-inch rectangle on second paper. Turn papers over (marked lines should show through). Sift 3 tablespoons sugar, powdered sugar, and cocoa into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until frothy. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add 5 tablespoons sugar, beating until whites are stiff and glossy. Fold in cocoa mixture. Spread 1/3 of meringue (about 1 1/2 cups) evenly over each marked rectangle. Bake meringues until dry, reversing sheets every hour, about 4 hours total. Turn off oven; leave meringues in oven overnight.
Lift meringues from parchment. Place 2 meringues on work surface. Gently spread 1 pint ice cream over each, being careful not to press hard to avoid cracking meringues. Place 1 filled meringue on long platter. Top with second filled meringue, then third meringue, pressing lightly to adhere. Cover and freeze assembled cake at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
Beat cream, vanilla, and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in small bowl until peaks form. Spread whipped cream on top layer of meringue to cover; scatter chocolate sprinkles evenly over. Cut crosswise into slices and serve.

Under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all institutions of higher education must respond appropriately to the unique needs of disabled students. These federal laws ensure that disabled students do not experience academic inequity. More particularly, they require institutions to examine, on a case-by-case basis, requests made by disabled students for reasonable accommodation. While "fundamental alteration to the nature of a program' is not required, reasonable accommodation is.
It is the policy of the Hamilton College Library to create and maintain an environment in which all students may learn and work to their fullest potential, limited to the least extent possible by individual disabilities. The Library will work with the Dean of Students office to ensure that resources and materials are available for academic use.
Library staff will retrieve books and place them at the Circulation Desk for pick up. Upon request, staff will also assist with photocopying needs by locating journals or microforms on the shelves and/or completing the Interlibrary Loan forms. The Library staff will make photocopies that can be mailed to a campus address, picked up, or sent electronically to the user. The Library staff can also provide text enlargement services.
Library staff is available to accompany any user requiring assistance in locating materials in the library.
The Accessibility Services Team, which includes members of the Dean of Students Office, the Library, and Information and Technology Services (ITS), addresses reading and writing challenges faced by students with various learning differences and disabilities. Further information can be found at the Assistive Technology Resources page.
Other services and accommodation may be made, based on individual needs. Please contact the Reference Department at 315-859-4735.

I realize the following doesn't fully solve the problem you and John are having, but... 1) MSU's new home page generally follows better design practices than the other ones you are having trouble with. Specifically regarding font sizes, the registrar's site has font sizes specified in absolute measurements (pixels in this case), which to a great extent reduces the user's control over their view of the page. Most designers feel that it's better to use relative font sizes because it gives more control to the user. MSU's new home page uses relative sizes. So my view is that the registrar's site is more to blame than MSU's new site for the fact that you have to change your browser settings. Again, I realize this just gives you a different target for blame, without solving your problem. 2) If it's an option for you, consider using Firefox or Netscape instead of IE. They (and some other browsers such as Opera) have a true "text zoom" feature which gives better font resizing on almost any web page without having to change your browser settings the way you have to in IE. I would be really surprised if IE 7 doesn't include a comparable feature, so another option would be to wait for it to come out. > -----Original Message----- > From: MSU Network Administrators Group > [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Byers, Sharon > Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 11:26 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] New web site comments > > The problem is that changing the text size from the View menu > doesn't work on all websites, for example our current RO > website, whereas the Accessibility method does. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Wolf, Chris [mailto:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 11:12 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] New web site comments > > The warning about obsolete browsers does not refer to IE6; > it's talking about much older versions.

Russian steel-maker Evraz led the market lower as it said it had suspended steel production in the Czech Republic because of low demand. Credit Suisse stuck the boot into the stock, downgrading it to "under-perform" on the grounds that the pick-up in demand from China is likely to take longer than expected. Credit Suisse also issued a short term trading sell on miner Antofagasta, on which they are broadly neutral, with a target price of 1,250p. The Swiss bank sees three short term drivers of under-performance. Firstly, consensus production estimates look too high by up to 10% over the period 2013-16. Secondly, the shares have outperformed peers and the copper price and valuation is at the top end of its ten year range. Third, copper price may under-perform other commodities in the near term (given the resilient performance year-to-date and improving mine supply in the second half of 2012). Banks and insurers were buoyed by Deutsche Bank upgrading the sectors to "overweight". However, it was financial services provider Hargreaves Lansdown which topped the leader board in the morning session, after it said it had got off to a "pleasing" start to its new financial year. Hargreaves Lansdown's revenue, assets under administration (AuA) and client numbers all hit record levels in the July-September quarter, traditionally the firm's quietest period. Talking of insurers, Direct Line was lower after making an impressive market début on Thursday which saw the shares climb from the flotation price of 175p to 188p in conditional trading. Building materials supplier Travis Perkins saw like-for-like sales fall back in the group's second quarter (to end-September), as the group struggled with the poor weather and the competing attraction of the Olympics. Margins are also under pressure, the firm said, prompting management to tighten up even more on cost management. Industrial materials provider Morgan Crucible has delivered a profits warning as trading conditions have deteriorated across most geographies, particularly in Europe and China. Sector peers Bodycote and IMI fall in sympathy, as analysts look around to see where the next profits warning will come from; Cookson got its warning out of the way on Monday of this week. Information technology services provider Computacenter is having to spend time and money getting service levels up to the required standard on some new German contracts, but things are going well in the home market.
The price of Brent crude drifted lower, with the most actively traded futures contract down $1.17 cents to $114.54 a barrel. Gilts are on the rise. The yield on the benchmark 10-year gilt is down to 1.72% from 1.78% overnight. Yields move inversely to prices.

LONDON DeeDee Trotter wanted the world record. And when DeeDee Trotter wants something, she doesnt keep it to herself.
Absolutely I was trying to amp them up, Trotter said after the U.S. women raced virtually alone to the finish line in winning the 4x400-meter relay Saturday night.I consider us the Dream Team of the 400. I figured if any team could do the world record, it was this squad.They came close, amazingly close considering that Trotter, Allyson Felix and Francena McCorory gave the Americans such a commanding lead nearly three seconds at that point that anchor Sanya Richards-Ross of Austin said she was actually worried about being too much ahead.I thought, Omigosh, you dont want to go too fast because you dont want to mess it up, Richards-Ross said. So I just kind of ran a safe leg, so that if anything happened Id still be able to get home strong.Even a veteran such as Richards-Ross, though, who ran on Olympic gold medal 4x400 relay teams in Athens and Beijing, was impressed with the way the U.S. foursome dominated.Trotter started from the blocks with a 50.2-second lap and then Felix, who had an outstanding Olympics, put the race in another zone with a 48.2 leg. McCororys leg was 49.39 and Sanya coolly took the baton home in 49.10.It added up to 3:16.87. Russia was next at 3:20.23, with Jamaica getting the bronze.No world record, but the Americans at least sniffed it.There is a group of records in the womens events that rolls the eyes of many of the worlds track fans and athletes. They were all set in the late-1980s and many of them are still standing suspiciously so, it seems.The Americans winning time Saturday is the third fastest ever run, behind only the Soviet Unions and United States times at the 1988 Olympics.The Ben Johnson Olympics. Just sayin.Theres a feeling that the womens records are extremely out there, veteran Felix agreed. You dont want to put judgment on anyone, but it does get discouraging at times.Felix was part of the U.S. team that shattered one of those records, the 4x100-meter relay, on Friday night. That record had stood since then-East Germany set it in 1985.Better things are yet to come in the 4x400, Trotter predicted.Raised in Georgia and a product of the University of Tennessee, Trotter made the U.S. team in the 400 at the 2008 Trials while running with a broken bone in her left leg. And she has charmed the Olympics media audience at the Games with her anything-goes comments.Someone asked the relay gold medalists Saturday what their experience at the London Games had been like. Trotter didnt give her teammates a chance to respond.London is off the chain, OK? she answered. Ive never been at a morning session where people were packed in that way, and these were people who had every knowledge of what was going on.And the Westfield (shopping) mall? What is that? It is packed to the roof, but somehow people are still moving, still shopping.You walk through the train station and people who dont know you are hugging and congratulating you. They just made it a spectacular experience.Glee in the high jumpIn the quiet place where the high jumpers go before theyre thrown to the Olympic lions, the kid from New York, by way of Arizona and Duncanville, turned to her Russian rivals and said lets pray.Brigetta Barrett, Duncanville High class of 2009, it seems, doesnt need to find reasons to pray. She just prays.It was a little unusual, her Russian competitor, world champion Anna Chicherova, said. But she was so sincere and touching.If you are sincere in your beliefs, it helps you.At 21, Barrett wasnt expected to be among the high jump medalists at this Olympics. She finished second at the U.S. trials and five jumpers in the finals field Saturday had personal bests higher than her 6-7.But when Barrett missed her first attempts at 6-5 1/2 and 6-6 3/4 and came back to clear both heights, suddenly there were only four competitors left.And Brigetta Barrett, the college theater major, was singing.The hymn was Im Available to You, which she would memorably demonstrate to the Olympic media later. With two verses.Im a theater arts major, she said, as if that explained everything. I like to sing.On her second attempt at 2.03 meters 6 feet, 8 inches Barrett slipped over the bar.Im not going to lie I kind of blacked out, she said. I was very scared. I know this is what we do, and people dont really expect us to be afraid of a bar.But theres a moment between step seven and eight where I have to decide if Im really going to go for this jump or not. I was just like, Go for it. Trust yourself and trust God.I put my foot down and closed my eyes, and when I hit that mat without hitting the bar, I was like, Thank you, Jesus. She earned the silver medal on fewer misses at 6-8, with an emotional Chicherova winning the gold medal (6-8 3/4) after a season in which shes been plagued by injuries.As the always dramatic Russian anthem was played on the medals stand, Chicherova tried to sing along through the tears. She cried again later, as she recalled in Russian how people had supported her even through the injuries.I know the price of this medal, she said.For the effervescent Barrett, it was the first U.S. high jump medal since Red Oaks Louise Ritter won gold in 1988.After the race, Barrett went looking in the stands for her mother, whos been battling breast cancer.I was scared for awhile that she wouldnt be here to share this moment with me, Brigetta said. But my mom is a survivor.Shes a fighter and she teaches me how to fight. Thats why I needed to see her.High school reunionNobody leaves New Orleans, they told us.Life was just too good in my hometown, said all my friends and all my relatives and my boss, sports editor Bob Roesler, the day he wagged a finger at me and told me that, by leaving, I was making a big mistake.Maybe so. But I had to see where the world would take me, just like my friend and former high school classmate, Steve Bultman.Ive been in Fort Worth for 32 years. Bultman, if you dont know him, has been in College Station for 13, coaching Texas A&Ms women swimmers.Hes a great coach, and Im not just saying that because we both graduated from Jesuit High in New Orleans in 1966.Ive seen Steves coaching resume three of the past four conference championships, four NCAA top 10 finishes in a row. And Ive asked around.Steve Bultman, they all said, is a great swimming coach. Two of his Aggie swimmers, Breeja Larson and Cammile Adams, made it to London as part of the U.S. Olympic team.And so did my fellow Jesuit Blue Jay. He was one of the coaches of the U.S. team here, reprising roles he had in Seoul in 1988 and again in 2008 when he helped coach the Estonia Olympic team.Three Olympics as a coach. Thats outstanding. I think Ive decided whos going to get my vote for Blue Jay alumnus of the year.Its been a great experience, Bultman told me during our mini-high school reunion at the Olympics Aquatic Centre. The facilities have been outstanding, not just the competition site, but also theres another facility where the swimmers can practice and warm up or warm down when they need to.Bultman was a swimming superstar in high school and went on to compete at LSU. I was a backup-backup left-handed relief pitcher in high school, never got into any games and eventually also managed to graduate from LSU.Steves route to London was probably better.Our old high school celebrates its 165th anniversary this year. Its produced its share of New Orleans mayors and White House Cabinet members. Its the alma mater of Rusty Staub and Will Clark, and of Harry Connick Jr., and actor Jay Thomas, himself a member of the class of 66.Ive been fortunate to have the opportunity to report from 16 Olympic Games now nine Summer Olympics. My classmate Steve Bultman is right in calling this such a special experience.Nobody leaves New Orleans, they told us. But we had to see where the world would take us.And there we were last week, standing in the Aquatics Centre in London under the Olympic rings.Ill refrain here from singing the Jesuit fight song. But Im tempted.Bravo, Steve.Gil LeBreton, 817-390-7697Twitter: @gilebretonDespite its best, U.S. 4x100 relay not good enough against Bolt

Welcome the fourth installment of my guest blogger, Tony Cappasso. He is the author of a self-published travel narrative, America's Highway: A Journal of Discovery Along US Route.
Here's a bit of writing advice you've no doubt seen: Read all the time, read everything.
I've always been skeptical about advice that is so absolute. But this bit has really worked for me.
Writing is description. It is putting words together to create an image, a sensation, an emotion, in the reader.
It's what I love the most about reading the works of other writers. It is what I find the most difficult to do in my own writing.
All my experience is in non-fiction. I wrote for newspapers, newsletters, magazines, and the web. All the topics I covered, all the subjects I wrote about were real. No making things up allowed.
It's tough to be flowery when you're describing a surgical procedure or a mass immunization.
But I like brilliant, descriptive writing; that is, I like reading it. I'd love doing it, too, but it has never been my forte. Oddly, it doesn't come naturally to me in my writing although it does in my speaking. But I've gotten better.
Before setting out on my trip from Maine to Florida on US Route 1, I reread three of my favorite travel writers. Paul Theroux (Kingdom by the Sea), Bill Bryson (Notes from a Small Island), and William Least Heat Moon (Blue Highways).
All three are masters of description.
This is Theroux describing trains: "It was man's best machine traversing earth's best feature — the train tracking in the narrow angle between vertical rock and horizontal water."
Or William Least Heat Moon from his book Blue Highways: "With a nearly desperate sense of isolation and a growing suspicion that I lived in an alien land, I took to the road in search of places where change did not mean ruin and where time and men and deeds connected."
Here's Bill Bryson musing about tourism: "What an odd thing tourism is. You fly off to a strange land, eagerly abandoning all the comforts of home, and then expend vast quantities of time and money in a largely futile attempt to recapture the comforts that you wouldn't have lost if you hadn't left home in the first place."
I try to imitate them; to learn from them.
I look for inspiration in description. I carry a notebook and a pen to jot down observations about persons or places, and practice sharpening my skills at describing what I see and hear, taste and smell, so my readers can also.
What about you? Is it easy for you to write description? Which of your favorite authors do you think write great description?

When people think of the adolescents who vandalize public property, they normally imagine someone from a certain background, a certain area of the city, a certain type of family life, and sometimes even a certain ethnicity.
Vandalism can be a source of hatred, retaliation, or gang activity. In the past month, several incidents of vandalism have occurred on the Northeast side of San Antonio. It is not necessarily the nature of the vandalism that is peculiar but the types of youths who are suspected to have created the damage.
The first of these occurred at San Antonio Christian High School on March 25. Although the school just instituted security guards this year, someone trespassed at night, stuck hundreds of forks in the football field, toilet-papered a group of trees, took the Christian flag, replaced it with men's boxer shorts, and tossed the flag on the ground where it landed on a light, which burned a hole in the flag. No police report was ever filed on this event and the culprits were never discovered.
About two weeks later, someone broke into Tejeda Middle School (Northeast Independent School District), stealing hundreds of dollars worth of equipment from a portable classroom. It is not likely that these events are related other than the fact that no part of San Antonio, no matter how "safe" it is thought to be, is exempt from this type of destruction.
Through the spotting of gang signs on public buildings, it is now apparent that there are, in fact, gangs on the Northeast side of San Antonio reaching as far down as middle school students. The fact that gangs exist in middle schools combined with the fact that most of these students, if they attend Northeast schools, live in middle to upper class neighborhoods, creates a new concern for families in this part of town. However, no matter what action the schools, law enforcement, or city decides to take, the solution to the problem lies primarily with the parents and family of these students.
It has always been a basic moral value to respect the possessions of others. Now, this simple statute is being violated. Parents who do not monitor their children must learn to discipline out of love so that their children do not become involved in or a victim of such criminal activity. Crime is not limited to any race, gender, or class; it takes hold of whoever allows himself to become its prey. Do not allow such an evil to creep into our neighborhoods silently. We must put a stop to it in our own homes, then in our city. Protect your children's lives and their futures. Crime cannot be tolerated.

Eco2 Press Release
Marine renewables company Tidal Energy Ltd, together with renewable energy development company Eco2 Ltd, have announced plans to further develop their commercial scale tidal energy device to tap into the enormous potential for renewable power generation from the tidal currents around the UK and beyond.
As well as its test site in Ramsey Sound, Pembrokeshire, for which Tidal Energy Ltd has secured £12M of funding for the deployment of a single 1.2MW DeltaStream device, it also plans to install its first array of up to 10MW in 2016/2017. All consents have been achieved for deployment of the first full scale prototype.
The Crown Estate has now granted a lease agreement for a tidal energy project off St David's Head, Pembrokeshire. The lease gives Eco2 and TEL five years to complete their surveys, scoping and consultation, and to secure the necessary licenses and operating consents from the Welsh Government and Marine Management Organisation. The preparatory consent work for this array is already underway.
On achieving planning consent, a full lease that would enable TEL to construct and operate the tidal energy array will be granted.
Managing Director of Tidal Energy Ltd, Martin Murphy said, "The waters off Pembrokeshire are ideally suited to tidal energy development, and we are looking forward to working in this area again in the near future. We are going to use the experience we gain from the first twelve months of the demonstration site in Ramsey Sound to develop the pre-commercial farm off St David's Head."
Invented by Pembrokeshire engineer Richard Ayre, DeltaStream sits on the sea bed without the need for a positive anchoring system. It generates electricity from three separate horizontal axis turbines mounted on a common frame. The device has been designed to be easily installed, with minimal impact on the environment.
Chief Executive of Eco2, David Williams said, "Getting a demonstration array of devices in the water will allow us to progress our plans for commercial scale production with a view to achieving at least a 5-10% market share of installed capacity in the UK by 2020. The growing industry will also generate a number of sustainable, green jobs."
Eco2 has developed its reputation as a leading renewable energy development company with a portfolio of successful projects in biomass, onshore wind and landfill gas. Its shareholders view highly the prospects for the growing marine renewable sector and hence have made significant investment in Tidal Energy Ltd for the development and proving of the DeltaStream device.

SMF Support > Install and Upgrade Help
Moving Forum, but don't have original files...
Or you can post back here, which ever is good for you. ;)
Hi Guys,
I had had a look through the install information, but I was a little unsure how to get my backup information live.
I will have a read of the moving smf and see if that helps me!
Thank you
OK I was right trying to install backup of database on to PHPMy Admin, however how do I make the file smaller as it is too large?
Good luck. I tried Fasthosts last year and dumped them, their mysql system is terrible. Their databases are not on the same hosting as your domains.
Plus they charge you £25 for any additional databases. I went back to Hostroute where you get 5 databases free.
There is no way to make it smaller without losing some sort of info. There was a script for large databases called Big Dump I think it was. Here, this may help you out:

Walmart is offering the iPad for $399, which is the going rate everywhere else, according to Bergeron, but Walmart is throwing in a $75 store gift card. And this year, Walmart is offering a price guarantee.
"As long as you're in line between 10 and 11, and you'll get the iPad deal and the TV deal. So, you don't have to have it in your cart. That takes a lot of stress off of a shopper," said Bergeron.
Toys 'R' Us is doing a similar deal. The fourth-generation iPod Touch is on sale for $199, which is the going rate, but the toy store is throwing in a $20 gift card and $30 in iTunes credit.
Target offers a similar deal, too. Their price for the iPod Touch (fourth generation) is $195, with a $40 Target gift card in the bundle.
Another hot toy this year is from Imaginex, and Bergeron said Kohl's has the best price on this toy.
"There's a pirate ship that's $19.99. I've seen it for $50 to $60 on another site, again though Kohl's isn't a toy store, so they're not going to have a lot of those items right there in stock," said Bergeron.
This is where a tag-team strategy could be useful. Go to Kohl's at midnight, when the store opens, and your partner can head to Toys 'R' Us for the iPod.
Bergeron said the No. 1 survival tip to Black Friday shopping is your list. To make the most effective list, you've got to do your homework.
"Research is huge. Who are you buying for? What do you want for them? And then you start comparing prices," said Bergeron.
Along with the list, Bergeron's shopping survival kit includes coffee, comfortable shoes and clothes, an envelope to hold receipts, cash to keep you on budget and your smartphone.

Eurozone set for emergency talks on Spanish bank crisis
(BRUSSELS) - Eurozone finance ministers are to hold an emergency conference call Saturday on aid for banks in Spain, tipped as the fourth and biggest country to need help in Europe's two-year debt crisis.
A teleconference of the Eurogroup of finance ministers was planned at 1400 GMT "to agree a declaration on Spain's intention to request aid and the Eurogroup's commitment to granting it," a European government official said.
In a departure from rescue plans already approved for Greece, Ireland and Portugal, Spain was likely to get a deal focused on helping banks that are saddled with bad debt from the country's collapsed property sector.
In Madrid, a government source said officials would study a report by the International Monetary Fund on the banks and wait for the outcome of the ministers' conference call before commenting on any bailout request.
"There is a meeting that was called by Brussels. We are waiting to see the results and we are analysing the IMF report," the source said.
Another European government official who also asked not to be identified said the 17-member eurozone expected a Spanish aid request "any time now."
Jean-Claude Juncker, the Luxembourg premier who heads the Eurogroup, told German radio late Friday: "The solution must come quickly."
German central bank chief Jens Weidmann urged Madrid on Saturday to use the eurozone's temporary financial rescue fund, the EFSF, if needed to bolster the bank's balance sheets.
"If Spain feels overwhelmed by its financial needs, it should use the instruments which have been created for that," Weidmann said in an interview to appear Sunday in the Welt am Sonntag.
If Spain, which faces deteriorated public finances and widespread unemployment, does ask for help it would mean eurozone leaders have failed in their desperate attempts to contain the debt crisis to Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
A Spanish bailout would thrust the eurozone into uncharted waters because Spain's economy is more than twice the size of those three countries combined.
The IMF bank stress tests, which were unveiled three days ahead of schedule, determined that banks in the eurozone's fourth biggest economy need about 40 billion euros ($50 billion) in new capital.
IMF chief Christine Lagarde called Saturday for closer cooperation among the countries that share Europe's single currency.
She argued in an interview for a common eurozone debt guarantee that would send "a clear signal to the markets that Europe has a common plan and its members want to follow it together.
"What is currently undermining efforts to support the euro are uncertainties and doubts about the long-term view of politicians and whether the eurozone will last," Lagarde told the daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told the regional newspaper Passauer Neue Presse meanwhile that the time has come for tighter European integration.
"It's clear. We have to attain the next step of political integration in Europe. The crisis is forcing the necessary transformations to take place more quickly," he said.
EU leaders are to attend a summit here on June 28-29 aimed at reinforcing European integration.
Meanwhile the IMF tests showed that while Spain's top two banks -- BBVA and Banco Santander -- were solid, the rest of the banking sector was struggling.
If the current stress continues "the largest banks would be sufficiently capitalised to withstand further deterioration, while several banks would need to increase capital buffers by about 40 billion euros," an IMF statement said Friday.
Speaking on background, an IMF official said the banks would likely need a lot more to ensure there was a "credible backstop" in worst-case scenarios.
Fitch Ratings has estimated the amount needed at up to 100 billion euros.
The international ratings agency Moody's warned Friday that an EU rescue of Spain's banking sector could lead to a cut to Spain's sovereign rating owing to the "increased risk to the country's creditors."
And US President Barack Obama urged Europe on Friday to act swiftly to fix its banking woes.
"In the short term they have got to stabilise their financial system. Part of that is taking clear action as soon as possible to inject capital into weak banks," he told reporters.

children's literature
The tag Children's literature is popular among bloggers who review books for children and by people discussing children's books, such as parents, teachers, librarians, book award committees, and booksellers. The tag is also often used by the authors, illustrators, editors and publishers who create children's literature. There are many web sites, professional organizations, and courses dedicated to children's literature.
It is generally thought that books referred to as children's literature are for readers up to age twelve. Books for young readers ages thirteen and above are referred to as young adult books or YA. Children's literature is categorized many different ways. Some categorize children's literature by genre, such as biography, fantasy & science fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. Others categorize children's literature by format, such as board books, chapter books, easy readers, hardcover books, paperback books, picture books, and pop-up books. Children's literature is also categorized by reading level, such as easy readers and middle grade fiction.
Regardless of how they are categorized, many books termed children's literature are read and enjoyed by young adults and adults.
