NEW YORK (AP) — There is a scene in the documentary "Chasing Ice" that shows the edge of the massive Ilulissat glacier in Greenland collapsing — or "calving" — and violently crashing into the sea below. The piece of ice that breaks away is compared to the size of lower Manhattan, and appears taller than any building there.
The video of the glacier, also called by its Danish name, Jakobshavn, is what photographer James Balog calls "irrefutable" evidence of climate change. Balog is the subject of "Chasing Ice," which won the Excellence in Cinematography Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
Filmmaker Jeff Orlowski followed Balog as he set up more than 20 time-lapse cameras in remote locations around Alaska, Montana, Nepal, Iceland and Greenland to capture images of Arctic glaciers as they change. Balog designed each camera to withstand extreme conditions, including sub-zero temperatures and 150 mph winds, and to snap about 8,000 frames a year, some of which have been featured in National Geographic magazine.
The film opens Friday in New York City and the following week in select cities.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Orlowski and Balog talked about the film and their experiences making it.
AP: Climate change did not come up during any of the three presidential debates. Do you regret not releasing the film earlier?
Orlwoski: I don't think that this is a political issue. It's been turned into a political issue but it shouldn't be. We were considering releasing it before the election but that would have associated the film with a very specific political agenda and we're trying to stay a little bit more neutral in that regard.
AP: Talk about the technical challenges you faced.
Balog: I had a number of electronic engineers that were advising and consulting on this thing and these are guys who have been involved with sending equipment to Mars, sending things to the bottom of the ocean, sending remote equipment across Antarctica on these little wheeled contraptions going across the ice, and in the end they said, 'We can't calculate what you need. We can't figure it out just by bench-testing and mathematical formulas. All you can really do is build something and put it out there and see if it works.'
AP: There's a scene when you completely break down. What happened?
Balog: That's in May of 2007. ... I felt incredibly, intensely the pressure of man, this stuff has to work. I'm not here to be a scientist doing a field experiment. Nothing is of any value, any meaning, any purpose unless I can be sure that I come home with pictures. ... I'm not just there with my head on the camera crying because I'm upset that the camera is malfunctioning. I'm upset because I'm thinking the entire commitment, the entire obligation is going to fail. We're going to put out 12 cameras in Greenland and come back with garbage, so that was terribly stressful and upsetting.
Orlowski: It's gut-wrenching. It's hard for me to watch James in that scene, personally.
Balog: He loves to see me come apart, I know he does, really. (Laughs)
Orlowski: It was really powerful.
AP: What was the absolute worst moment?
Balog: Probably the worst moment in the entire project ... that scene is in the film, when the helicopter pilot turns to my collaborator Jason Box and says 'Ah, we're losing oil pressure."... So you look out the window and you realize, 'Well, I hope that other engine just keeps working fine because it's really cold down there and there's icebergs and if we go in that we'll die really, really fast.' And as we were going back and this unfortunately wasn't caught on videotape, he came on the radio again. He said, 'I'm losing oil pressure in engine number two' and we were still a ways out from the landing field and then you're really starting to think 'OK, where's the life raft; where's the life jackets; what happens if we go down? What will this be like?' ... That's what really keeps me awake at night. That's what gets me upset when I'm saying goodbye to my daughters at home.
AP: What was it like watching the Ilulissat glacier in Greenland come apart?
Orlowski: It was just the two of us (Orlowski and Extreme Ice Survey field coordinator Adam LeWinter) watching this monumental event happen and nobody else was there to observe it or to see it. We felt very fortunate that we were at the right place, at the right time, with the right equipment. ... There's a juxtaposition of emotions that you feel. When you're out there with the camera, you're really excited to capture that and you want that to happen so you can record it and document it, but when you look back at the footage you realize how horrific the story is and what it's actually telling.
AP: James, you were once a climate change skeptic. Were you as skeptical as Sean Hannity?
Balog: Nooo, no no no. Let's not overstate that. No. Look, 25 years ago I thought that maybe there was a lot of hyperbole around this. I thought that the science was based on computer models which I knew at the time were relatively sketchy. Computer models are quite good now. Also like almost everybody else on this planet back then, it never occurred to me that humans were capable of altering the basic physics and chemistry of the planet.
AP: Why do you think this film might have a different impact than other climate change documentaries like "An Inconvenient Truth"?
Orlowski: What James has been able to accomplish is taking this invisible subject matter of climate change and making it visual, making it emotional and so people can see it for the first time and when you can see it, you understand it in a different way.

Using the Server-Client model I have to make a program that shows grades info of a student.By giving the lesson name the program returns that lesson grade.Moreover it should provide the overall grade per (6 months session) and general overall grade.
The Client program can send these:
Grade request for a lesson
Overall grade per (6 months session) request
General overall grade request
Request for joining new lesson
After getting back response from the Server,the Client program prints the answers to the default exit (System.Out)
The Server program accepts Client requests and returns grade info,which are in a .txt file.Every lesson corresponds to a line on that text file,with that form:
<lesson name> , <number of 6 months session that the lesson belongs> , <grade>
Example: Maths , 2 , 10
Finally in case of an error request Server program should return an error message to the Clients program.
I am using eclipse and I know I have to make 3 files:1) the protocol (thinking of tcp for safety in data transfer) 2)The Client program and 3)the Server program.
Can anyone give me a similar example or suggest me anything useful for my task?I am newbie and the only program I have managed to get work is a simple date-time Server-Client program..
Thanks for your time
Yours sincerely Leo

Holistic Orcharding with Michael Phillips (DVD)
Every farm and homestead can enjoy the timeless pleasure of a fruit orchard. Yet this can also be challenging, because few people today have the depth of knowledge and experience that's needed to produce healthy trees and nutritious, great-tasting fruit. At the same time, both orchardists and consumers are looking to avoid spraying harmful and expensive chemicals on their trees.
The answer is to create a more holistic orchard, one that emphasizes biological health and diversity – from the microscopic fungi in the soil to the beneficial insects, companion plants, and the birds and wildlife that together form a complete and living orchard ecosystem. In other words, it's time for us to start working with nature, rather than fighting against it.
Michael Phillips is a pioneering author and orchardist whose books include The Holistic Orchard and The Apple Grower. In this video, he leads viewers through a year in his own orchard, demonstrating basic horticultural skills like grafting and pruning, but also revealing groundbreaking and field-tested strategies for growing apples and other tree fruits not just organically, but holistically. With this information in hand, there's now every reason to confidently plant that very first fruit tree!
Reviews and Praise
ForeWord Review-
Despite a wealth of information available about grafting, soil health, tree planting, and pruning, there's one major area of orchard management that's tough for any beginner to learn: confidence.
That's where Michael Phillips comes in. As a farmer in northern New Hampshire, and author of The Apple Grower, he provides gentle-but-sure advice on holistic orchards in a way that's encouraging and valuable.
"Gaining confidence to do this right is key," he writes. "You simply need to get over that proverbial hump that somehow you're going to screw this up and waste both time and money." Phillips wrote this guide, he adds, to give beginners the type of inspiration and knowledge they'll need to take a deep breath and get started.
Beginning with a fascinating explanation of forest-edge ecology—which defines where fruit trees thrive best—Phillips moves into topics like fungal dominance, haphazard mulching, pulsing agents, and more. He also tackles orchard design, horticulture, and orchard dynamics in tremendous detail, with abundant illustrations and photographs that give more clarity to his discussions.
For those moving to the next level of orchard management, Phillips delves into the specifics of three major categories of fruits: pome, which includes apples and pears; stone, which encompasses cherry, peach, plum, and apricot; and woody berries, including blackberry, currant, gooseberry, and raspberry. For each, he describes varieties worth considering, pest management, pollination issues, and harvest notes.
Throughout, Phillips adopts a genial tone that blends farmer-next-door friendliness with a more academic approach. The mix works, giving the scientific descriptions more weight while keeping the material accessible. His passion for sustainable agriculture is obvious as well, and drives the book nicely—rather than see fellow growers as competitors, for example, he's keen on expanding the community of growers and he's willing to share all his insights to achieve that mission.
In general, the sheer breadth of information presented can seem overwhelming, particularly for a beginner, but it's likely that those who are interested in getting started in holistic orchard practices will appreciate having such a thorough reference guide.
More Reviews and Praise
Publishers Weekly-
The author of the classic guide for small-scale fruit cultivation, The Apple Grower, returns to the orchard. Phillips, who grows apples and herbs in New Hampshire, concedes early on that growing fruit that is both attractive and delicious is more challenging than cultivating vegetables and herbs. What distinguishes this book from other organic guides is the author's ecological approach. He argues that orchard success begins with a deep understanding of soil health and forest-edge ecology. The chemistry lessons may challenge many, but he translates most of the science basics into practical routines that any gardener could use. Straightforward information on selecting trees and horticultural basics such as pruning and pest management follows. For those who intend to invest significant time and resources into growing fruit, this is a comprehensive guide to managing a healthy and bountiful orchard. Color photographs and illustrations throughout.
Booklist Review-
With the rising popularity of farmers' markets and ever-increasing availability of organic foods in mainstream grocery stores, more and more gardeners are catching the urge to go pesticide-free. For fruit lovers wanting to tend an orchard on a small scale, Phillips, author of the gardening best-seller The Apple Grower, offers a wealth of tips and tricks here on growing berries and tree fruits without resorting to toxic sprays. Eight information-packed chapters cover such basics as orchard design, seeding and growing schedules, and soil varieties, all using natural methods of cooperating with nature to resist attacks by garden pests and plant diseases. Phillips also provides an exhaustive directory of fruit varieties, from pome fruits, such as apples and pears, to stone fruits, such as cherries and nectarines. Although the guide is aimed primarily at home growers with a little yard space and a yen for organic produce, professional orchard managers can certainly benefit and will hopefully be prompted to shy away from pesticides as well.
Library Journal-
"Phillips, farmer, author, and organic orchardist, guides the viewer through four seasons of his New Hampshire farm, emphasizing techniques for a 'health-based' approach to managing a fruit orchard. His holistic approach not only eschews the use of chemicals and pesticides but also helps to promote biological health and diversity in soil fungi and birds and insects. Phillips demonstrates a variety of practices, from planting, fertilizing, grafting, propagating, pruning, and managing insects to harvesting (including the proper way to pick an apple) and shows how these techniques can be applied in any area of the country. VERDICT: This detailed video with visual how-to instructions will be of interest to horticultural audiences."

'Alarming' rise in children injured by falling TVs
'Alarming' rise in children injured by falling TVs
Jul. 22, 2013
CHICAGO (AP) — Doctors are calling out a warning over climbing injury rates to kids from falling TV sets.
A study finds falling televisions sent nearly 200,000 U.S. children to the emergency room over 20 years and such accidents are sometimes deadly.
Doctors and safety experts say better awareness is needed about the dangers — especially the risks of putting heavier, older model TV sets on top of dressers and other furniture young children may try to climb on.
Most injuries are in kids under 5; head and neck injuries including concussions are the most common.
Lead author Dr. Gary Smith, a pediatric emergency specialist, says it is unclear from the data what type of TV sets are involved in the accidents or whether older, heavier models are the most common culprit.
The study was published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

Certainly, the Jamaican police are convinced that Woolmer's death was not of natural causes. The police force's Deputy Commissioner Mark Shields has in fact said,
"The Major Investigation Task Force (MIT) has been asked to probe prescription drug and alcohol overdose theory. The Police treating sudden death as a homicide. Woolmer had received death threats from Pakistani fans, we are taking reports of death threats very seriously. The police questioning persons who met with Woolmer before his death."
So far the needle of suspicion may not be pointing towards the Pakistani team, which has one last match to play against Zimbabwe. But the police are also reportedly following up on another interesting lead provided by former cricket coach Sarfaraz Nawaz. Nawaz had said, "Woolmer may have been killed by those who wanted to silence him on the issue of match fixing."
Sreesanth said, "Next ball he was beaten and I said, 'is this the King Charles Lara? Who is this impostor, moving around nervously? I should have kept my mouth shut for the next ball - mind you, it was a length ball - Lara just pulled it over the church beyond the boundary! He is a true legend."
The addition of match-fixing to it all, and Nawaz claiming he was going to reveal all is quite disturbing.

Beecher was a name to reckon with in mid-19th-century America. Lyman Beecher was a nationally known preacher. On Long Island and in Litchfield, he and two wives produced 11 sons and daughters who survived to adulthood, almost all involved in major issues of the day - the liberalizing of Calvinism, the fight against slavery, the Civil War and the struggle for women's rights.
Hartford was home to three, including the most prominent, Harriet Beecher Stowe, whose "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was simply the bestseller of the 19th century, outstripping anything by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain or any other wildly popular authors of that era. It was translated into 42 languages and for a while was the most popular book in the world, after the Bible.
"It was transmuted into song, theater, statuary, toys, games, handkerchiefs, wallpapers, plates, spoons, candlesticks, and every form of kitsch that the commercial mind could imagine," writes Trinity professor Joan D. Hedrick in her Pulitzer Prize-winning 1994 biography of Stowe.
During the Gilded Age, Stowe was a much-admired figure on the Hartford scene, and a diminutive one, under 5 feet tall. When Abraham Lincoln said to her, "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war," he was speaking literally, not condescendingly.
She wrote several other novels, including "Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp," about a slave rebellion, and "The Minister's Wooing," about the contrast between the men who made New England theology and the women who had to deal with the emotional reality behind it.
Stowe and her sister, Isabella Beecher Hooker, got their first taste of Hartford through the educational efforts of their older sister, Catharine Beecher. Eleven years older than Harriet, and 22 years older than Isabella, Catharine took over the female leadership of the family after her mother died in 1816. She brought her skills to Hartford, founded a school for girls with another sister, Mary, and devoted the rest of her life to the education of women, including the introduction of "domestic science," later called "home ec" and now "domestic studies," into schools. Her work inspired the founding of several Midwest women's schools and colleges.
Catharine Beecher lived for a time with Harriet and her husband, Calvin, on Forest Street in Hartford and co-authored "The American Woman's Home, or The Principles of Domestic Science" with her. She was the consummate organization woman. A few days before her death at 78 in 1878, she wrote: "My plan is to consult the heads of women's institutions and superintendents of common schools this summer. ... I am going to Philadelphia and New Jersey ... and am forming women's committees to cooperate. ... I am stronger than for years."
The youngest, Isabella, who was deeply involved in spiritualism, was one of the strangest yet most appealing Beechers. She once tried to make Beethoven's ghost materialize and believed that the spirits would, on Jan. 1, 1877, establish a matriarchal world government with herself as president.
She was married to John Hooker, who with his brother-in-law Francis Gillette bought a 100-acre farm in western Hartford called Nook Farm, laid out streets and became congenial developers for relatives and friends who moved to the area from the increasingly crowded downtown.
"Each of us," said Hooker, "made free of the others' houses ... each keeping open house, and all of us frequently gathering for a social evening or to welcome some friendly visitor, often some person distinguished in political, literary, or philanthropic life, who had come to some of our houses."
Twain and his wife rented the Hookers' house for their first few years in Hartford, before their brick mansion down the street was ready.
Hooker was a lawyer and would read to his wife, reputedly the most beautiful of the Beecher siblings, from Sir William Blackstone's "Commentaries on the Laws of England." She was already a leader. Shocked by the lack of legal rights for women, and influenced by John Stuart Mill's "On the Subjugation of Women," she joined the women's-rights movement with Susan B. Anthony and Victoria Woodhull.
Isabella Beecher Hooker had already alienated many of her neighbors (including her former tenant, Twain) with her opposition to her brother, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, when the hugely popular preacher was tarnished by an adultery scandal prompted by Woodhull. Her frosty rejection by her neighbors and her spiritualist pursuits didn't prevent her from forming the New England Woman Suffrage Association, getting a women's property rights bill passed in the state legislature and writing and speaking extensively on women's issues.
Some scholars focused on her oddness and belief in communicating with spirits, undercutting her achievements in the cause of women's rights.
"A psychiatrist would find it illuminating that many of the people who [she said] appeared to her asked only forgiveness for wrongs she had suffered at their hands," writes Kenneth R. Andrews, the great historian of Nook Farm. For example, she believed Horace Bushnell had told her, shortly after his death, that he had been wrong to oppose women's suffrage.
arry stopped his horse and his imprecations. There was a crackling in the swamp, and a movement along the copse of briars; and at last the speaker emerged, and stood before Harry. He was a tall black man, of magnificent stature and proportions. His skin was intensely black, and polished like marble. A loose shirt of red flannel, which opened very wide at his breasts, gave a display of a neck and chest of herculean strength. The sleeves of the shirt, rolled up nearly to the shoulders, showed the muscles of a gladiator."

Swamp" (1856) by Harriet Beecher Stowe, pictured at left
t is to mothers and to teachers that the world is to look for the character which is to be enstamped on each succeeding generation, for it is to them that the great business of education is almost exclusively committed. And will it not appear by examination that neither mothers nor teachers have ever been properly educated for their profession? What is the profession of a woman? Is it not to form immortal minds, and to watch, to nurse, and to rear the bodily system, so fearfully and wonderfully made, and upon the order and regulation of which the health and well-being of the mind so greatly depends? But let most of our sex, upon whom these arduous duties devolve, be asked: Have you ever devoted any time and study, in the course of your education, to any preparation for these duties?. ...Perhaps almost every voice would respond, no."
- From "Suggestions Respecting Improvements in Education" (1829)
by Catharine Beecher

Authorities Say Wade Lohse May Have Been Seen In Virginia
Could police be getting closer to catching 43-year-old Wade Barrette Lohse of Youngsville, the man who walked out of his vehicular homicide trial in the death of Cacie Barras? Authorities believe Lohse, who posted a rambling video on youtube a few days ago trying to explain himself, may have been in Salem, Virginia, this week.
Thursday night, around 9 p.m., Salem Police responded to a suspicious person/vehicle complaint and found a white 2011 Mazda 6 bearing Louisiana license plates in the 100 block of Sheraton Drive. Officers say it was stolen, but were unable to locate the person who was seen with the car, although police say further investigation shows it was possibly Lohse.
Then, around 7 a.m. Friday morning, a 1999 white Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo was reported stolen from the 1400 block of Sycamore Drive, near the area where the Mazda was found. The Jeep bears Virginia registration XXF-5792 and has a red sticker affixed to the rear bumper bearing the message "I Have A Great Dane That Is Smarter Than Your Honor Student". The vehicle also has a taillight and headlight that are not operational. But, police say no one witnessed the Jeep being stolen. Police believe it's possible the Lohse was responsible for this as well.
Lohse is wanted in Louisiana for Failing to Appear in court on original charges of Vehicular Homicide, Possession of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon, and Burglary.
Lohse is described as a white male, 5'10, 170 with blond or graying hair with hazel eyes. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the stolen vehicle or Lohse is asked to contact their local law enforcement agency or the United States Marshal's office at 337-319-4086 or 337-251-6921.

QLogic fortifies results with acquisition
NetXen purchase sends message to market
QLogic has tempered weaker than expected results by buying NetXen, a 10Gbit/E product supplier, thereby injecting more energy into the converged networking scene.
QLogic makes Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) to connect servers to Fibre Channel storage networks, as well as Fibre Channel fabric switches and InfiniBand products. It is producing Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) converged network adapters (CNAs) that send the Fibre Channel protocol over Ethernet, as it prepares for a world of converged data centre networking with most protocols carried over Ethernet cables running at 10Gbit/E speed.
For its fourth fiscal 2009 quarter (Q4fy09), QLogic revenues totalled $130.5m, 18.3 per cent down from Q4fy08's $159.7m, and lower than Wall Street estimates. Net income was $19.2m ($0.16/share), also below estimates and down from the year-ago quarter's $22.8m ($0.17/share). But it did make a decent profit in hard times.
The big revenue fall was in host products, where revenues were $88.4m compared to Q4fy08's $110.3m, reflecting lower server sales in the recession. Network products - Fibre Channel and InfiniBand switches - were slightly down at $25.1m (Q4fy08: $27.5m), and silicon products were almost flat at $13.7m (Q4fy08: $13.9m).
For the full year QLogic turned in creditable results. Revenues were $633.9m, 6 per cent up on fy08's $597.9m, with net income of $108.8m or $0.85/share, 12.5 per cent or so up compared to fy08's $96.2m ($0.67/share).
The guidance for the next quarter - revenues of $120-$130 million, which is either flat or down 8 per cent sequentially, and down 23-29 per cent year-on-year - was below what Wall Street analysts were hoping for.
There are three CNA suppliers: Brocade, a Fibre Channel switch vendor which has bought Ethernet switch supplier Foundry, Emulex, which is involved in a hostile takeover attempt by Ethernet switch vendor Broadcom, and QLogic. Seeing the ownership of 10Gbit/E technology as being essential to its future, QLogic has now bought NetXen, a supplier of 10Gbit/E products headquartered in Cupertino, California, with development sites in Pune and Bangalore, India.
NetXen's product range includes network interface cards (NICs) sold by HP for ProLiant servers, and its Intelligent NIC, described as "the industry's first programmable, multi-protocol networking solution designed for volume 10GbE markets." Unlike Emulex' CNA, which includes TCP/IP offload and iSCSI as well as FCoE on the base Ethernet NIC, QLogic's CNA only has FCoE on the NIC platform. This technology buy gives it the flexibility to add in the other protocol support should it wish to do so.
The market for such technology stacks includes servers, network switch vendors and storage vendors, all of whom will need products to enable the creation, passing-on and receipt of FCoE, TCP/IP and iSCSI messages carried on the 10Gbit/E wires.
Such wiring underlies the converged virtualised blade server/storage/networking quasi-mainframes being proposed for enterprise data centres by HP, IBM and Cisco, which is entering the server market. There is now a scramble by suppliers to such data centres to strengthen their offerings, so that they can credibly supply complete systems or essential components in the future.
QLogic's activities belong in the second category: essential components. NetXen was bought for around $21m cash, with QLogic stating it was buying "complimentary networking products and intellectual property" and the acquisition will enable it "to better address a wider range of emerging customer requirements for converged networks."
It noted that NetXen has won designs for its LAN-on-Motherboard (LOM) technology with both HP and IBM. There is also thought to be QLogic interest in producing 10GBit/E iSCSI target silicon products.
HK Desai, QLogic's CEO, summed up fiscal 2009 and the current situation: "Despite a very tough macroeconomic environment in the second half of the year, QLogic was able to deliver record revenues for fiscal year 2009. As we enter a challenging fiscal 2010, we believe that we have set the appropriate goals and strategies to drive long-term growth in revenues and profitability."
With QLogic buying in 10Gbit/E technology this is a sign that the company is not looking to be bought and thinks it can survive and prosper as an independent business. ®

Welsh Rugby
Heartache and Humiliation
ESPN Staff
November 17, 2012
Wales' Alex Cuthbert struggles to comprehend his side's latest defeat to Samoa © PA Photos
Wales' shock defeat at the hands of Samoa at the Millennium Stadium is not the first time that the hosts have been humbled by one of the sport's supposed lesser lights.
We have trawled the archives for some similarly embarrassing defeats for the principality and famous days for some of rugby's minnows.
Wales 24-26 Canada
The 1980s and the early 1990s was not a vintage period for Welsh rugby - a fact underlined by this home defeat to the Canucks. Tries from lock Alan Charron and centre Ian Stuart laid the foundation for the win with fly-half Gareth Rees also winning the battle of the boot with Wales' Neil Jenkins. Wales, who had picked up the Five Nations wooden spoon earlier in the year, boasted a fair amount of talent in the likes of Ieuan Evans, Scott Gibbs and Scott Quinnell on debut.
Fiji 38-34 Wales
Wales were sent crashing out of the 2007 World Cup by Fiji in an extraordinary nine-try encounter in France. The Welsh ran in five of those scores but came out on the wrong end of the result thanks to a gutsy showing from their rivals. Wales had never lost to Fiji in eight previous encounters but on this day the Islanders were insatiable and unstoppable and eventually rewarded with a World Cup quarter-final berth. Wales packed their bags and coach Gareth Jenkins did too soon after.
Wales 13-16 Western Samoa
Wales were left stunned by Western Samoa on their own patch during the 1991 Rugby World Cup in one of the greatest upsets in the tournament's history. Centre To'o Vaega and flanker Sila Vaifale crossed for tries with the familiar names of Frank Bunce, Brian Lima and Pat Lam also in their line-up. Arthur Jones and Ieuan Evans notched tries for Wales but it was not enough to avoid a painful defeat that prevented them from making it out of their pool. The legendary match also spurned the famous quip: "Thank heavens Wales weren't playing the whole of Samoa".
Wales 31-38 Samoa
When Wales did play the 'whole of the Samoa' at the 1999 World Cup they suffered a similarly stunning defeat. Two tries from fly-half Stephen Bachop and further scores from lock Lio Falaniko, inspirational flanker Pat Lam and fullback Leaegailesolo propelled the Samoans to a thrilling victory over the co-hosts. Wales had enjoyed an impressive run of results heading into the tournament under coach Graham Henry and were on a run of 10 straight wins - including victories over South Africa, England and France - but were undone by a Samoa side that had played its previous pool game against Argentina just four days earlier.
Wales 9-15 Romania
Wales struggled for much of the 1980s to live up to the highs of the successes of the previous decade with a third place finish in the 1987 World Cup the clear highlight. In contrast, Romania enjoyed a golden period in their history that included two victories over Wales. The Oaks' first success came on home soil in the 1983 but they back that up with victory in Cardiff five years later with a try from hooker Gheorghe Ion and the kicking exploits of fly-half Gelu Ignat seeing them home. The match would be Jonathan Davies' last in the Wales No.10 shirt before making a high-profile switch to rugby league.
Wales 12-26 Argentina
Maybe not as shocking a result as the others featured here given Argentina's status as a Tier 1 nation, but still a significant upset. Wales went into the game having claimed a Six Nations Grand Slam earlier in the year but they had little answer to a battle-hardened Pumas side that had clearly benefited from its elevation in the Rugby Championship. Eleven years to the day following Argentina's only previous victory over Wales in Cardiff, second-half tries from wings Juan Imhoff and Gonzalo Camacho left the Welsh reeling once again.
Wales 16-16 Fiji
Wales entered the game looking to erase the memory of their painful World Cup exit three years ago but in the end only narrowly escaped another embarrassing defeat. A penalty from fly-half Seremaia Bai with the last kick of the game gave the brave tourists a deserved share of the spoils after a keenly-fought but error-strewn match. Fiji looked on course for another famous victory after battling to a 13-6 half-time lead thanks largely to a try from centre Albert Vulivuli. But Wales fought their way back into the contest after the break and a penalty try and the boot of replacement fly-half Stephen Jones appeared to have rescued the result only for Bai to claim due reward for his side.

Packard Hill Bridge #67May 23. 2013 3:06PM
Riverside Drive
Lebanon, NH
Between 1780 and 1790 an open timber bridge without railings was constructed at this location for Ichabod Packard. The bridge served Mr. Packard's home on the north side of the river and his mill, a combined sawmill and gristmill, located on the south side. According to town records, the bridge was either repaired or replaced in 1804. In 1878, the open timber bridge, which appears to have been a Queenpost truss with the truss work boarded up, was replaced by a new covered bridge. The 1878 bridge was a Howe truss built at a cost of $456.02. It was removed in 1952 and replaced with a Bailey Bridge. The Bailey bridge was replaced by the current bridge, built by Arnold Graton Associates.
Year of Construction: - 1991
Original Cost: - $316,500
On Riverside Drive spanning the Mascoma River in Lebanon.
Howe truss. The bridge is 76'0" long with a clear span of 62'0". It has an overall width of 25'0" with a roadway width of 15'0" and a maximum vertical clearance of 12'0". There is a sidewalk on the upstream side.

NEW YORK (AP) — Two football games that showed the widely divergent paths of New York's pro football teams boosted NBC to its first ratings win of the new season.
NBC aired the Jets' embarrassing loss to the New England Patriots on Thanksgiving night, and followed it on Sunday with the Giants' easy victory over the Green Bay Packers.
Those two big prime-time audiences on a holiday week enabled NBC to win its first week in the Nielsen company's ratings since it televised the Super Bowl last winter.
Lifetime's debut of the movie "Liz & Dick" starring Lindsay Lohan reached 3.5 million viewers on Sunday, Nielsen said.
NBC averaged 9.5 million viewers in prime-time for the win (5.6 rating, 9 share). CBS was second with an 8.3 million average (5.2, 9), ABC had 8.2 million (5.0, 8), Fox had 6.2 million (3.6, 6) and the CW and ION Television both had 1.2 million (both 0.8, 1).
Among the Spanish-language networks, Univision led with a 3.4 million viewer average (1.7, 3). Telemundo had 1.2 million (0.6, 1), TeleFutura had 800,000 (0.4, 1), Estrella had 240,000 and Azteca 110,000 (both 0.1, 0).
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 10.2 million viewers (6.8, 12). ABC's "World News" was second with 8.3 million (5.5, 11), and the "CBS Evening News" had 7.1 million viewers (4.8, 8).
A ratings point represents 1,147,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 114.7 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
For the week of Nov. 19-25, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships were: NFL Football: Green Bay at N.Y. Giants, NBC, 20.85 million; NFL Football: New England at N.Y. Jets, NBC, 19.21 million; "NCIS," CBS, 16.48 million; College Football: Notre Dame at USC, ABC, 16.06 million; "NCIS: Los Angeles," CBS, 15.13 million; "Dancing With the Stars," ABC, 14.28 million; "The OT," Fox, 13.5 million; "Dancing With the Stars Results," ABC, 13.01 million; "Football Night in America," NBC, 12.8 million; "Criminal Minds," CBS, 11.53 million.

WASHINGTON (AP) — America's unprecedented decision to send nuclear-capable B-2 stealth bombers to drop dummy munitions during military drills with South Korea this week was part of normal exercises and not intended to provoke a reaction from North Korea, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Thursday.
Hagel acknowledged, however, that North Korea's belligerent tones and actions in recent weeks have ratcheted up the danger in the region, "and we have to understand that reality."
Speaking to Pentagon reporters, both Hagel and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the B-2 bombers were a message intended more for allies than Pyongyang.
"The North Koreans have to understand that what they're doing is very dangerous," Hagel said. "I don't think we're doing anything extraordinary or provocative or out of the ... orbit of what nations do to protect their own interests." The U.S., he added, must make it clear to South Korea, Japan and other allies in the region that "these provocations by the North are taken by us very seriously and we'll respond to that."
U.S. Forces Korea announced in a statement Thursday that two B-2 stealth bombers flew from an air base in Missouri and dropped dummy munitions on a South Korean island range before returning home. The Pentagon said this was the first time dummy munitions had been dropped over South Korea, but late Thursday said it was unclear whether there ever had been any B-2 flights there.
The joint drills are likely to heighten the already escalating tensions between the U.S. and North Korea that have played out in recent weeks, including Pyongyang's threat to carry out nuclear strikes on Washington and Seoul. North Korea has ramped up its rhetoric in response to the recent U.S. military exercises and also the U.N. sanctions over North Korea's nuclear test last month.
Use of the stealthy B-2 bombers added something of an exclamation point to the training mission, which had already included older but also nuclear-capable B-52 bombers.
"They're telling the North Koreans, we can attack you in ways in which you can see us coming, and we can also attack you potentially in ways in which you cannot see us coming," said retired Air Force Col. Cedric Leighton, a North Korean intelligence expert who served on the Joint Staff and the National Security Council. "So it's a message to the North Koreans that they have to be very careful how they proceed next with their military efforts and their political efforts. "
Asked if the U.S. has seen North Korea take any actual threatening military steps in response to the bombers, Dempsey said the North has moved some artillery units across the demilitarized zone from Seoul and some maritime units along the coasts. But so far, he said, "We haven't seen anything that would cause us to believe they are movements other than consistent with historic patterns and training exercises."
The military drills are only the latest U.S. response to what officials see as a growing North Korean threat. The Pentagon is also planning to beef up its defenses against a potential North Korean missile attack on the U.S.
Hagel announced earlier this month that over the coming four years the Pentagon will add 14 missile interceptors to the 26 it already has in place at Fort Greely, Alaska, at an estimated cost of $1 billion.
Asked about the cost of sending the B-2 bombers all the way from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to South Korea for a show of force, Dempsey said the military plans for a certain number of exercises each year involving the B-2 and B-52 bombers.
Even if it wasn't in the budget, he said, "in light of what's happened in North Korea and the provocation and the necessity of assuring our allies that we're there with them, we would have found a way to do this."
Hagel said there are a lot of "unknowns" with North Korea and its new president Kim Jong Un.
"But, we have to take seriously every provocative, bellicose word and action that this new, young leader has taken so far since he's come to power," Hagel said.
Leighton and other experts say that a full-blown North Korean attack is not likely. But there are persistent worries about a more localized conflict, such as artillery attacks or a naval skirmish in the disputed Yellow Sea waters. There have been three naval clashes since 1999.
"You may see some shelling of South Korean islands that are very close to the North Korean coast. They've done that in the past, they killed four people the last time they did this. That could happen again," said Leighton.
AP Broadcast writer Sagar Meghani also contributed to this report.

Oldham County healthiest, Floyd worst off: study
Oldham County healthiest, Floyd worst off: study
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
A new report says Oldham County, just northeast of Louisville, is the healthiest place to live in Kentucky.
The study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute compared the relative health of all 120 of Kentucky's counties. It concluded residents of Floyd County in the eastern Kentucky coalfields led the least healthy lives.
Among factors considered in compiling the rankings were the rate of people dying before age 75, high school graduation rates, unemployment, access to healthy foods, air and water quality, income, and rates of smoking, obesity and teen births.
The rankings are intended to help communities create solutions for people to be healthy in their own communities.

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: From the early 1800s, residents and those visiting the Connecticut River Valley lauded its pastoral beauty. Views of the river and mountains enthralled landscape artists and travelers alike. Equally captivating for many tourists were the rolling fields and farms that dotted this bucolic and 'tamed' landscape. The Connecticut River Valley thus had been a tourist destination for over a century when the Boston and Maine Railroad commissioned this postcard view of the Deerfield Valley in about 1900. The idyllic rural scene was one of a series of "New England Views" designed to appeal to travelers seeking out natural and pastoral views. Interest in farm and village life in Deerfield, Massachusetts, and other villages was part of a growing nostalgia for and fascination with New England's pre-industrial past.

Support the troops and win a Harley
Oshkosh Defense will be participating in a jam-packed month of events planned across the country as it continues its support of the Armed Forces Foundation's Rumble with a Cause sweepstakes. The campaign has a goal of raising $150,000 for AFF while providing the opportunity to win one of two custom-painted motorcycles. The AFF provides a wide range of assistance and services to active and retired military members and their families, including counseling, living expenses, funeral arrangements, housing improvements, and career counseling.
One recipient of the organization's services is retired U.S. Army Captain Mark Little, who lost both of his legs below the knees following an improvised explosive device attack in Iraq in 2007. While recovering in the U.S., Little and other wounded veterans were taken on a getaway vacation to Las Vegas as part of the AFF's Morale, Welfare & Recreation Program. The program provides moral support and diversionary programs for service members and their families to help cope with the stress of deployment and injury or loss of a loved one.
With the support of Oshkosh, the AFF launched the Rumble with a Cause sweepstakes in October 2009. AFF employees will be on site at a number of events across the country to collect donations and sweepstakes entries. The sweepstakes, which closes on April 15, will have two winners, each receiving a one-of-a-kind Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, donated to the AFF by Oshkosh Defense. Those not able to attend the events may enter online at the official site. It's only a $10 donation per entry, and even if you don't end up walking away with a Harley, you'll still walk away a winner.

CHICAGO (AP) — A federal appeals court on Friday narrowly rejected Illinois' request to reconsider a ruling that found the state's concealed carry weapons ban unconstitutional, leaving lawmakers in the only state that still prohibits concealed carry more certain than ever they must come up with a new law.
The 5-4 ruling by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals gave state Attorney General Lisa Madigan the option of appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court — a move that could affect gun laws in other states. It also came on the same day that state lawmakers held a hearing on the issue in Chicago — a city that's drawn national attention for its gun violence and rising homicide rate, including last month's death of a 15-year-old honor student a mile from President Barack Obama's home.
Madigan said in a statement she has not yet decided whether to appeal. But she said a dissent written by four of the judges "provided a clear framework to guide the legislature in drafting a new law." Those judges said some restrictions — including limits on who may carry and where they may do so — could be considered constitutional.
"With the 180-day deadline still in place, it is critical that the legislature continue to work to enact a law that will protect public safety," said Madigan, a Democrat from Chicago.
In Chicago, at the second of a series of Illinois House Judiciary Committee hearings, word of the court's decision seemed to change the tenor of various speakers' comments. Advocates who for years have fought for gun control legislation took turns urging lawmakers to make sure the bill they pass prohibits guns in places such as schools, hospitals, restaurants, churches, nursing homes and commuter trains.
"It would be a recipe for disaster," Chicago Transit Authority President Forrest Claypool said of allowing guns on public transportation.
At the same time, gun rights advocates who crowded into the downtown hearing room were buoyed by the court's ruling. Many applauded several times and smiled when Todd Vandermyde of the National Rifle Association said the court ruling, along with several previous court rulings, left the state no choice but to enact a concealed carry law.
"This is a fundamentally, constitutionally protected civil right," he said.
Madigan had asked for the entire 10-judge federal appellate court to consider the case after a three-judge panel in December gave lawmakers until June 9 to legalize the concealed carry of firearms. She argued that the ruling conflicts with decisions by other federal appellate courts and goes beyond what the U.S. Supreme Court has held.
In a 5-4 decision, with one judge not participating, the court denied Madigan's request.
The majority did not expand on the opinion written by Judge Richard Posner in December, which said there is "no suggestion that some unique characteristic of criminal activity in Illinois justifies the state's taking a different approach from the other 49 states."
Richard Pearson, the executive director of the Illinois State Rifle Association, said the ruling makes clear that courts believe the prohibition violates Second Amendment rights. If Madigan opts to appeal and the U.S. Supreme Court agrees to hear the case it's possible the justices could strike down not only Illinois' ban on concealed carry, but also gun restrictions in other states, such as New York and Maryland.
"If she does (appeal), I would be happy," Pearson said. "There's a very good chance they'll rule in our favor."
Madigan has 90 days to decide whether to ask the high court to hear the case.
Lawmakers, meanwhile, are working to craft legislation that could get the approval of legislators from Chicago — a city with some of the strictest gun ordinances in the nation — as well as from the state's more rural and conservative areas, where there's more support for gun rights.
Some Republicans and more conservative Democrats say Illinois should be a "shall issue" state, in which anyone who meets prescribed criteria must get a permit to carry. More left-leaning Democrats want to be a "may issue" state, meaning local police could deny a permit even if the applicant's background is otherwise clear.
Gov. Pat Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, and other gun control advocates also want any new gun legislation to include a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and to prohibit concealed carry in public places such as sports stadiums and shopping malls.
Vandermyde said he would oppose many of the limits proposed by gun control advocates, saying the cumulative effect of their desired restrictions would amount to a ban — adding that he would not be in favor of prohibiting guns on public transportation.
At least one lawmaker, State Rep. Dennis Reboletti, a Republican from the Chicago suburbs had his own reservations about banning weapons on buses and trains.
"My concern is the gang members will always carry," Reboletti said, drawing a round of applause from gun rights advocates.

LONDON (AP) — It's not just Argentine soccer fans who woke up depressed following their nation's 1-0 defeat to Germany in the World Cup final. Traders in Buenos Aires were also feeling blue.
Though Argentina's main Merval index closed up 0.2 percent on Monday, it traded sharply lower for much of the session after the team succumbed to a late goal Sunday from German striker Mario Goetze in Rio de Janeiro.
Despite the late advance, the Merval underperformed other markets in the region and around the world, notably Germany's DAX, which closed 1.2 percent higher — the biggest gain Monday among the major European stock indexes.
The underperformance was widely anticipated.
Alex Edmans, a professor at London Business School and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, has analyzed stock market responses to World Cup defeats and found those from losing nations have underperformed.
"Over the course of the World Cup, there have been 39 losses by countries with an active stock market," he said. "In two-thirds of these cases, the national market has underperformed the world market on the next day."
According to Goldman Sachs, the depressed mood may weigh on Argentine shares for a while to come.
In a report prior to the World Cup, the bank said that since 1974, most nations that lose in the final underperform for a month as traders suffer "a post-final bout of the blues."
Overall, it found that the victorious countries' stocks outperformed the global market by 3.5 percent in the following month. Seven of the nine losing finalists, on the other hand, underperformed by 1.4 percent.

McCOMB, Miss. (AP) — Police say they have arrested a Mississippi couple found living with their two children and the children's grandmother in an overdue rental truck that had been reported stolen.
The cargo truck was nearly two months overdue and the rental company had reported it stolen, said Detective Shannon Sullivan.
He told the Enterprise-Journal (http://bit.ly/1nykI6s) that 28-year-old Darnell Varnado and 29-year-old Shantay Varnado were arrested on one count each of possessing stolen property. They remained in the Pike County jail Thursday. Shantay Varnado's bond was set at $10,000, and Darnell Varnado was held without bond. It was not clear whether they had an attorney.
The state Department of Human Services found a temporary residence for their two children and the children's grandmother after the Varnados were arrested Monday.
Another family including four adults and a newborn baby were also living in the truck until June, when they found housing in nearby Monticello, police said.
All 10 people had traveled from McComb to New Jersey in late May to live with relatives, but returned after the arrangement fell through, Sullivan said.
Police and DHS workers learned in early June that they were living in the cargo compartment of the truck, which was in a shopping center parking lot. The truck reportedly had been scheduled for return May 29. Social workers put both families up temporarily in a hotel and directed them to housing authorities in Monticello, 38 miles from McComb.
Sullivan said he did not know why one family found housing and the other did not.
"We're getting with DHS again to see what we can do for the family," Sullivan said. "We need to make sure the kids and the family are taken care of."

Voices: Dan Beckerman, On Sheltering Life-Insurance Proceeds
Dan Beckerman is president of Beckerman Institutional in Oakhurst, N.J.
A large life insurance policy can tremendously increase the size of an estate. If an individual with life insurance doesn't have a proper plan in place, their policy can eventually hit their family with a huge tax liability.
Fortunately, there's a workable solution. If an insurance policy was taken out solely for the benefit of heirs, and the policyholder doesn't need to own or have access to the policy, putting insurance inside an irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT) is a great way to shelter insurance proceeds from estate taxes.
It's a no brainer for many of my clients. I simply list the ILIT as the owner of the policy, which removes the policy from the client's estate. It's simple enough, but as an adviser it's critical to be aware of important strategies like this, because insurance salespeople don't always understand the ins and outs of their clients' estate plans.
I recently had a client whose insurance agent signed her up for a $1 million life insurance policy without understanding her estate plan. Fortunately, I was able to transfer the policy to an ILIT she had already set up with her attorney. This move probably saved her heirs hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.
The only drawback of changing the title on the insurance policy is there is a three-year look-back period, during which if the client dies the policy will revert back to the client's name and be part of the taxable estate. The IRS does this to prevent people from deciding to move assets into an ILIT on their deathbed.
This isn't a good strategy for folks who will need access to cash inside their life insurance polices, or who might want to sell the policy on the market. Once you put the insurance into an ILIT, it's technically no longer your policy and you no longer have access to the funds.
However, you can still determine the terms under which the beneficiaries receive the death benefit—as a lump sum, in increments, at a specified date, or any other arrangement you choose.
The current estate tax exception is $5 million, but when the Bush tax cuts expire in 2013 it's set to drop to $1 million, and the estate tax rate will go to 55%. Those changes aren't set in stone, but I think it's best to prepare my clients for the worst case scenario, and an ILIT is often one way of doing so.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. — A crew was hard at work Wednesday, replacing the iconic sign atop the roof of the Hotel Hi-Ho along the Merritt Parkway in Fairfield.
It was just a few days ago that the old landmark sign came down from the roof of the hotel.
The recently refurbished hotel on Black Rock Turnpike is replacing the over 55-year-old neon sign with a more modern LED model. Oh, and an "H" — for Hotel — will replace the "M" — for Motel.
Though it looks a lot like its predecessor, the new sign will replace "Motel" with "Hotel" and "Restaurant Cocktail Lounge" will become "Barcelona Wine Bar," according to the Connecticut Post.
When the hotel reopened in November 2015 under new ownership, the landmark sign glowed again.
It had been a beacon along the parkway for decades. The hotel first opened in 1955 but had to turn off the Hi-Ho sign after a bird flew into it and caught fire eight years ago.

WASHINGTON -- Immigration reform is coming. Let's get it right. What counts as getting it wrong? The 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli Act, signed by President Reagan. It granted amnesty to the then 3 million illegal immigrants and promised border enforcement.
Amnesty came. Enforcement never did. Reagan was swindled.
Americans are a generous people. They don't want 11 million souls living in fear among them. They would willingly, indeed overwhelmingly, support amnesty -- as long as it is the last. They don't want another Simpson-Mazzoli, another bait-and-switch that lets in another 11 million illegal immigrants -- and brings us back where we began.

Overview and Observation; The threat of war emanating from the North Koreans is of grave concern to the public as well as the marketplace. Whether or not the young leader of the North "means what he says" rather than just a response to U.S. military maneuvers in the area remains to be seen. However, on a worst case scenario, history tells us that war takes us out of depressions and recessions. World War II contributed to the end of the Great Depression, but at what cost? Europe was decimated, the first use of a nuclear device was used to finally end it. The cost in human life was horrendous on both sides of the conflict. Yes, war did help us out of depression and of the 25% unemployment but is not the answer if it can be avoided. The increase in demand from Europe for industrial materials and the increase in construction put millions back to work but led to some extent to inflation. The shortage of goods in the U.S. led factories to operate at full strength and put Americans back to work and off the "soup lines." It would be a "fatal" mistake on the part of North Korea to attack the U.S. interests in the area specifically South Korea, Japan, and the other countries in the area. I doubt very much, as with the Korean War, that China would be on the side of North Korea this time. However, any retaliation by the U.S. for an attack by North Korea would have to be tempered so as not to rile the Chinese and Russians by overt reaction by the U.S. We will have to see what develops but for now global markets are concerned as exemplified by the "flight to the relative safety" of the U.S. equity markets. Now for some actual information to hopefully assist our readers in the development of trading strategies…
Interest Rates: June Treasury bonds closed at 144 13/32nds, down 5/32nds but up nearly 100 basis points from last weeks closing of 143 15/32nds. The move to Treasuries is usually a precursor of anxiety prompted by either economic news or in this case geopolitical concerns. We continue to view Treasuries as in a trading range between 140 and 152. However, should hostilities break out on the Korean peninsula, we could see sporadic wide price changes in Treasuries as well as equities. On Thursday first time unemployment came in at an increase of 16,000 to 357,000 for the week. The U.S. also released the final revision for fourth quarter economic growth at only 0.4% on an annualized basis, below the expected 0.5% forecast by economists. That could continue to provide the impetus for further treasury bond strength and lower yields.
Stock Indices: The Dow Jones industrials closed at 14,578.54, up 52.38 points and a new all time high exceeding that of five years ago. The S&P 500 closed at1,569.19, up 6.34 also establishing a new all time high. The tech heavy Nasdaq however remains 40% lower than it's all time high closing Friday at 3,267.52, up 11.00. Markets were closed for Good Friday and Thursday's action was a combination of shortcovering for those of us expecting a market correction and selloff, and position squaring for those concerned over any potential North Korean move over the three day holiday. We remain convinced that the U.S. equity market has gotten way ahead of itself and we are not alone in expecting a sharp correction. Given the magnitude of what could result from a North Korean attack on the South and/or U.S. bases, we prefer the conservative approach for now. The North Korean "kid" leader is boxing himself into a corner with his threats and may have to try to save face somehow regardless of the ramifications to his country and its people.
Currencies: The June U.S. Dollar Index closed at 83.13 on Friday, down 28.1 points on a pre-weekend position squaring profittaking after the sharp gains from the January lows around 79.80. The dollar was also helped to some extent by the increase in U.S. personal income and the better than expected rise in consumer confidence by the Reuters/Michigan consumer sentiment index. We have favored the dollar for some time and now with the possibility of war on the Korean peninsula, a flight to the safety of the U.S. dollar could continue to provide dollar strength. The currencies gaining on Friday were the euro closing at $1.2826, 44 points, the Swiss franc $1.0542, 46 points, the Japanese yen 0.10629, 27 points, the British pound $1.5190, 68 points and the Canadian dollar 98.26, up 5 ticks. The Aussie dollar lost 29 points to close at $1.0354. The Bank of Cyprus said that depositors with more than €100,000 could lose up to 60% and that did not bode well even as attempts to obtain a $12 billion dollar loan from the EU is conditional on sharp austerity proposals. We see additional problems developing in the Eurozone, so stay with the dollar.

text: Mammogram Myth Busters Is a myth keeping you from having a mammogram? For your health's sake, know the facts. "I'm just as likely get cancer from the mammogram radiation." THAT'S A MYTH. By age 50, about one in ten women has been diagnosed with breast cancer. One in eight women in the Northwest will get breast cancer in her lifetime. There is no evidence that radiation from mammograms causes breast cancer. The amount of radiation from a mammogram is the same as you get from the environment in just seven weeks. Dr. Kari Thomas explains in this short video. Download the infographic. Legacy keeps radiation levels as low as possible with state-of-the art equipment that is routinely calibrated, inspected, and tested against American College of Radiation standards. Learn more about radiation safety. "Mammograms always hurt." THAT'S A MYTH. While there is pressure, most women report no pain when the breast is compressed during the procedure, usually for less than 30 seconds. Compression doesn't harm your breast in any way, and it's necessary to get a clear image. If you have particularly sensitive breasts, you may want to schedule your mammogram at a time during your menstrual cycle when your breasts are least tender. "It doesn't matter where I get a mammogram." THAT'S A MYTH. Where you're screened matters. Diagnostic accuracy depends on the the quality of the screening equipment, as well as the experience and expertise of the technicians conducting the screening and the radiologists reading the mammograms. Legacy uses reduced radiation 3-D digital mammography for the fastest, most accurate results with the lowest radiation exposure possible. Our Breast Health Centers also offer leading-edge screening technologies, including breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI), breast MRI and ultrasounc, for cases where mammography alone isn't enough. Legacy has won multiple quality awards for the excellence of our breast health care, including designation of our Breast Health Centers as Breast Imaging Centers of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. "I've only just turned 40, which is way too young for breast cancer." THAT'S A MYTH. The incidence of breast cancer does rise with age, but unfortunately no one is "too young" for the disease. In fact, almost 20% of Legacy's breast cancer patients are younger than 50. That's why we support the American Cancer Society recommendation that every woman have a baseline screening mammogram by age 40, and an annual mammogram after that. Annual mammograms are so important that they are now 100% covered by insurance, starting at age 40. "There's no breast cancer in my family, so I don't need a mammogram." THAT'S A MYTH. A family history of breast cancer is all the more reason to have regular mammograms, but simply inheriting a hereditary factor is not enough to cause a cancer to develop. In fact, 90 to 95 percent of breast cancers are not related to genetics. In other words, only about 10 percent of breast cancer patients have a family history of breast cancer. To learn more, see this information sheet on breast cancer genetics. "If my mammogram was negative, a lump in my breast is nothing to worry about." THAT'S A MYTH. Mammograms are the best test we know to find breast cancer, but they're not 100% perfect. If you feel a lump, talk to your doctor.

PARIS (AP) — French news agency Agence France-Presse says one of its photo accounts on Twitter has been hacked and is now suspended.
Pierre Celerier, deputy global news editor for AFP, said the source of the hacking Tuesday is unclear. He said the non-AFP images posted on the account by the hackers appear to be from Syria.
He said the photos posted are not AFP images, and they appear to show images of Iraqi journalists killed in Syria and the site of a car bombing.
He said the account was hacked for about an hour before a Twitter official took control of it. The account has been temporarily suspended.
The account is usually used to post AFP photos from around the world.

I had these covers for my previous car, so knew they were strong and of good quality. The only reason for the 4 stars, rather than 5 is the fit for my last car was perfect, but these ones are not quite as good, as they are a bit loose. Still the same quality and will do the job of protecting the seat.
Posted by Unknown on 24th Aug 2016
Prompt delivery, happy with covers, not perfect fit but didn't expect them to fit like a glove, they are well up to the job
Posted by Unknown on 10th Aug 2016
I am extreemly unhappy with the fit of the product. I may as well gone to Halfords and bought some for £15.00. In my view this is £50.00 wasted.
We are disappointed to hear you are unhappy with your covers, Please call us on 01455 890908 or e-mail email@example.com to discuss further.
