Man Thrown from Out of Control Speedboat
A man had a lucky escape after being thrown from his speedboat in Teignmouth Quay.
Brixham Coastguard said it received a 999 call from a member of the public just after 10am this morning, reporting that a man had been hurled into the water from his speedboat. The boat was then going round in circles and the man was trying to swim away to safety.
The Teignmouth Coastguard Rescue Team and the Teignmouth RNLI inshore lifeboat were sent to the scene. The lifeboat crew managed to bring the boat under control by cutting the engine. The man had been picked up by another boat nearby and was brought ashore where he was met by Coastguard Rescue Officers. He's since been taken to hospital to be checked over, but doesn't appear to have been badly hurt.
Andre Huber, Watch Manager at Brixham Coastguard, said, "It appears the man took off his kill cord as it was too short to allow him to tie up his boat. Unfortunately, he accidentally knocked the throttle, the boat jerked forward and he fell into the water. Without the kill cord, the boat's engine didn't cut out and then locked into driving round and round in circles.
"Luckily he did have a lifejacket on and was able to quickly swim away to safety and the boat was soon brought under control.
"We always recommend people wear their kill cord at all times when on the boat. Make sure it's a suitable length so you can move around your vessel, particularly if you're on your own.
"As we're set for fine weather this weekend, we'd just like to remind everyone to have fun but stay safe on our coastline. If you get into difficulty, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard, or get in touch with us via VHF channel 16."

"Will he do better in the future? He can join my dissents!" Breyer replied with a chuckle.....I like judicial restraint myself, and I think Breyer actually does deserve the mantle of restraint as much as any of them. Of course, he doesn't keep it on all the time. Rosen conveniently -- and unintentionally hilariously -- declines to mention abortion rights and all sorts of other cases where Breyer votes on the side of individual and minorities and against the choice of the majoritarian political process. It wouldn't be much of a Constitution if the political choice always won. But it's good to have someone on the Court who will openly express the philosophy of restraint.
Breyer self-consciously embraced the mantle of restraint. "To a very large measure, judges have to be careful about intruding in the legislative process," he said. "[R]uth and I have been among the ones less likely to strike down laws passed by the legislature, and, by that measure, we're not very activist." Far from being a cautious or defensive posture, bipartisan restraint has always been rooted in liberal self-confidence--confidence that, given a fair opportunity, liberals can fight and win in the political arena. The fact that conservatives now rely on the Court to win their battles for them--striking down democratically adopted campaign finance laws and integration programs--is a sign of their weakness.
Breyer and his liberal colleagues were not unwavering in their restraint this term: They dissented from the partial-birth abortion decision, despite the fact that bans on the procedure are supported by bipartisan majorities in Congress and in most states. When I asked Breyer how he reconciled this dissent with his commitment to judicial deference, he demurred. "The only question for me was, am I suddenly going to overrule a whole lot of precedent? No. That's a strong basis." Liberals, in fact, could have reconciled their commitment to precedent and judicial restraint by upholding the partial-birth law while insisting it include a health exception. But no one is consistent in every case; and the activism of liberals here was an exception, not the rule.
Judged by their willingness to defer to legislatures, liberals are now the party of judicial restraint. Conservatives have responded to this embarrassing turnabout by trying to rob the term of any neutral meaning. In a series of unintentionally hilarious editorials, The Wall Street Journal praised the Roberts Court for "restoring business confidence in the rule of law and setting limits on the tort bar and activist judges." Spare us the twistifications. For more than 50 years, conservatives have insisted that judges should defer to legislatures and let citizens resolve their disputes politically. But, at the very moment they consolidated their Supreme Court majority, they have abandoned this principle and embraced the activism they once deplored. I hope that Chief Justice Roberts, over time, will achieve his welcome goal of transcending the Court's divisions and helping conservatives rediscover the virtues of modesty and deference. But, for now, the party of judicial restraint has a convincing spokesman in Justice Breyer.
ADDED: Wait! Rosen does mention the abortion case in the middle paragraph there. Well, then he contradicts himself in his final paragraph. So Rosen conveniently -- and unintentionally hilariously - forgets his previous paragraph.

Let's say that tomorrow national president election is held. A poll asks 1100 persons which of the two candidates, A or B, will he or she will vote. 750 say will vote A, and 250 say will vote B. What are the chances each will win the election? I think this problem is not the same as choosing a random voter and let him or her decide. Therefore, I assume that the chance A wins elections is higher than 0.75, and closer to 1.
Update: Since the election generated a lot of fuss let me rephrase the question: you have a box containing $N$ white and black balls. From the box you extract $N' <= N$ random balls and count $W$ white balls and $B$ black balls ($W + B = N'$). What is the probability that the box initially contained more white balls than black balls?

The New iPad: What We Know Now
I had a number of questions about the new iPad before it came out, most of which have been answered after having used it for more than a week and having read other teardowns and tests.
I will wait a bit longer until I write a "Living With…" post, though my initial feeling is still that it's a great tablet but not a must-upgrade for owners of previous versions. In the meantime, I thought I'd recap what we know about the new iPad.
System Costs
UBM TechInsights estimates that a 4G 16GB version of the new iPad has a bill of materials (BOM) of $310, a bit higher than the $271 BOM cost for the original iPad 3G from 2010, and the $276 BOM cost for the 3G version of the iPad 2. All had list prices of $629.
IHS iSuppli estimates the bill of materials plus manufacturing cost notably higher, at $358.30 for a 4G 16GB unit. For a 16GB Wi-Fi only unit, it estimates a BOM plus manufacturing cost of $316.
We will likely never know the exact prices Apple pays for its components, since neither Apple nor its suppliers will share that information. It seems safe to say, however, that Apple's gross margin on each machine is lower in this generation than in the previous one, mainly because of the additional costs of the higher-resolution screen, the new A5X processor, and the 4G LTE chip set. Of course, Apple is selling many more units—three million in the first weekend—so its marketing costs are spread out over a much larger number of sales.
Apple didn't disclose many details of the A5X processor other than the fact that it is a custom design with two CPU cores and now has quad-core graphics (as opposed to the dual-core graphics on the A5) in order to better run the higher-resolution display.
Analysts from UBM TechInsights and from Chipworks indicate that the A5X measures about 163 square millimeters compared with 120 square millimeters for the A5. It suggests the processor is manufactured by Samsung on the same low-power 45nm CMOS process.
Chipworks had detailed die photos of the A4, A5, and A5X processor, while UBM Techworks also looks at the A5X compared with the A5.
In all these cases, it seems clear that the A5X continues to have two ARM Cortex-A9 cores, running at up to 1 GHz, along with graphics from Imagination Technologies' PowerVR SGX family, said to be the SGX543MP4 (although I don't think that's actually been confirmed). It now has 1GB of DRAM memory compared with 512MB in the previous versions.
The increase in graphics capability and memory seems mainly designed to improve the display performance, or more directly, to keep the new 2048-by-1536 Retina display as responsive as the previous generation. Almost all the teardowns indicate that the display is the most expensive part of the system. And all the teardowns I've seen (including those above and one from iFixit) indicate that Samsung is manufacturing the screens in the units they've seen. However, as with DRAM and Flash memory, it is likely that there are other manufacturers as well, with most expecting that LG Display and Sharp will also be making displays for the iPad.
Apple calls the display a Retina display but note that it has a 264 pixels-per-inch (ppi) display, rather than the same 326 ppi as the iPhone 4. That's ok though, because at the distances people normally hold a tablet, you can't see the pixels.
DisplayMate has the most in-depth coverage of the display I've seen. It points out that the display is indeed the best yet seen on a tablet. Apple's display uses a technology known as Super High Aperture (SHA) to help allow the pixel density to work over a larger screen. DisplayMate's Ray Soneira points out that the display uses Fringe Field Switching (FFS), which is related to the In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology Apple says its displays use.
As I noted in my initial take, as far as I can tell, any application that runs on the iPad also runs on the new version, but a lot of applications already take advantage of the new display. My colleague Sascha Segan has a list of 20 of these Retina-ready iPad apps.
The one application that I've seen that looks notably worse on the new display is the Wall Street Journal. According to Dow Jones (which publishes the Journal), it will release a new version that addresses the problem around April 1.
Battery and Heat Issues
A lot of folks have discussed the big issue with the new display: it takes a lot more power to run. As a result, the new iPad has a much larger lithium-ion battery—at 42.5 watt-hours, it is 70 percent larger than the 25 watt-hour battery in the iPad 2. That's undoubtedly why the unit weights a bit more (1.46 pounds for the 4G version of the new iPad versus 1.35 pounds for the 3G GSM version of the iPad 2) and is slightly thicker (9.4mm versus 8.8mm). In the real-world, I doubt most people will be able to tell the difference unless the two are side-by-side.
With the larger battery, the new iPad seems to get about the same battery life as the earlier model. Apple estimates ten hours of normal use, and nine with a broadband connection. Most of the reviews I've seen generally confirm this. However, battery life depends a lot on application and in the case of the new iPad, it varies a lot depending on the screen brightness. At full brightness, battery life is considerably shorter than on the iPad 2, according to PCMag's tests. It ends up with only about five and a half hours of video playback. However, with the brightness down to 50 percent, battery life is almost twice as long, nearly 11 hours. As I noted, in its default "auto-brightness" setting, the new iPad seems to be dimmer than the iPad 2 and this is probably the reason.
The larger battery also takes a lot longer to charge—about seven hours from a completely uncharged state. There are reports that the battery actually claims 100 percent charge when it still has some room to go, as many other tablets do. I've been charging mine overnight about twice a week, so I haven't noticed this in my real use.
Perhaps more serious is a claim that the new iPad is hotter than the previous versions. Consumer Reports says the new iPad can heat up to 116 degrees when playing games, 13 degrees hotter than the iPad 2. However, even CR says that it wasn't "especially uncomfortable," and other tablets seem to get just as warm. I've certainly used laptops that felt a lot hotter.
Other Issues
I've also read that the new iPad easily runs through 4G data limits and that some people have had issues connecting to Wi-Fi. I've had no trouble with Wi-Fi connections (and few reviewers seem to note that), but with any wireless broadband connection, it's pretty easy to get to your limit, especially if you're streaming video.
Another issue is repairability. iFixit observes that the new iPad is very difficult to repair, if it ever gets broken. The same is true for older iPads and many other tablets, but it's still worth pointing out. Some users are disappointed that FaceTime isn't available on 4G, and some complain about the 4G plans in general, but this seems to mostly be a carrier issue, not an Apple one.
I haven't read a lot of reviews about the new built-in speech dictation. I'm still testing, but my initial reaction is that it's okay, but still a long way from where I'd like to see it. For instance, this is how it reacted to my reading of John F. Kennedy's inaugural speech—great in some places, not so good in others.
To be fair, I've yet to find the perfect speech recognition program.
In any case, we know a lot more about the new iPad now. Read PCMag's full review.

DFA Member Named "Faces of Farming & Ranching Spokesperson
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (January 24, 2013) — Dairy Farmers of America's Board and management are proud to congratulate Will Gilmer, a DFA member who has been selected as one of four winners of the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance's "Faces of Farming & Ranching" program.
The nationwide contest launched in summer 2012 to help put real faces on the American agriculture industry. More than 100 applications were submitted from passionate, dedicated farmers and ranchers across the country.
"I want to help consumers see that farmers and ranchers have a genuine passion for what they do and take pride in the quality of the food they produce," said Gilmer, who owns Gilmer Dairy Farm in Sulligent, Ala. "It is important to communicate that what we do makes a positive contribution to society. I'm looking forward to being part of a two-way conversation with consumers to continually improve our practices and products."
Gilmer is on the cutting edge of technology using his farm website, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to promote awareness of the dairy industry. He shares his knowledge and experiences by speaking to civic groups, visiting classrooms, hosting farm tours, and appearing on television and radio shows. He also serves in leadership roles with various agricultural organizations.
The "Faces of Farming & Ranching" winners will act as national spokespeople, and will share stories and experiences on a national stage to help answer consumers' questions about how food is grown and raised to feed the nation.
"Will exudes passion and innovation along with many other great values we emphasize at DFA," said Randy Mooney, Board chairman. "Will's leadership and dedication make him a strong leader and voice for farmers who take great pride in the quality of food they produce."
Gilmer is a third-generation farmer who says farming next to his father is very rewarding. Gilmer Dairy has been in continuous operation since the early 1950s. During the past few years, Gilmer Dairy has provided seasonal strip grazing for a herd of 200 Holsteins. The Gilmers also have started utilizing no-till produce, both summer and cool season silage crops, and upgraded their dairy waste management system to more efficiently use captured nutrients as fertilizer.

Singapore Data Center Market, Forecast to 2023
Hyperscale cloud computing vendors driving strong uptake of leased data centers Hyperscale cloud service providers have been key in driving demand for data center services in Singapore, with many global public cloud providers (for example, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Google, and Alibaba Cloud) significantly increasing their uptake of data center capacity in Singapore in recent years. A significant portion of IT load capacity added in the past two years has been catered toward these cloud vendors, necessitating the provision of higher density power racks to cater to this group of customers. Additionally, Small and Medium businesses (SMBs) in Singapore are expected to increase their spending on data center services due to increasing migration of in-house IT systems to colocation and managed hosting services. Separately amid the Internet boom, Born in the Cloud (BiTC) companies from countries such as China and India are looking to expand outside their respective countries to Singapore, driving demand for leased data center services in Singapore from the e-commerce, content, gaming, as well as software applications segments verticals. At the same time, data center modernization has emerged as a leading priority for many enterprises in Singapore. This involves the ability for companies to obtain comprehensive real-time visibility of their data center operations, in order for them to optimize their existing infrastructure to reap cost savings, adjust cooling in accordance to load, track carbon and resource uses and so on. How can data center operators in Singapore capitalize on the opportunities above, to increase their revenue streams? At the same time, what are some other key growth opportunities that data center service providers can create to support end-users in their data center modernization roadmaps, amid the increasingly competitive market participant landscape in Singapore? Some key questions this study will answer: • What is the addressable market opportunity for the Singapore Data Center services market? What is the expected growth rate and key drivers of growth for specific services areas? • What are the significant developments in the Data Center space in Singapore? • What are the driving and restraining factors that will shape the future of the Data Center services market in Singapore? • What are the key customer adoption trends in the Data Center market in Singapore? What drives sales in specific market segments? • What is the current competitive landscape in Singapore? Which are the key players in the market and what are their market strategies?

PortAventura theme park in Spain plans to debut a record-setting $35-million mountain climbing-themed roller coaster in spring 2012 featuring a series of camelback hills, pitch-black tunnels and a water element.
> Photos: Spain's PortAventura unveils 2012 roller coaster
The roller coaster, or "montaña rusa" in Spanish, is expected to be named after the mythical Tibetan kingdom of Shambhala, according to Roller Coaster Database.
The Bollinger & Mabillard-built ride will be the tallest (249 feet) coaster in Europe with the continent's longest drop (256 feet). The inversionless coaster will feature five airtime-filled camelback hills, each over 70 feet tall.
At 83 mph, Shambhala will be the fastest hyper coaster in Europe, besting Europa Park's Silver Star (79 mph). Both coasters will be surpassed speed-wise by the 135 mph Ring Racer when the compressed-air-launch coaster opens in 2012 at Nurburgring motorsport race track in Germany.
Located an hour south of Barcelona, PortAventura will face new competition for Spanish and European tourists when Paramount Park Murcia opens in 2015 on the Mediterranean coast.
Shambhala marks the first new coaster at PortAventura since the 2007 addition of Furius Baco, a hydraulic-launch coaster with seats that straddle the track.
The new Himalayan expedition-themed Shambhala coaster will be built next to the eight-inversion Dragon Khan, a 1995 B&M coaster in the China section of the park.
PortAventura officials plan to release additional details about the new coaster over the coming months, alluding during the initial announcement to ride elements that include a mountain lake and dark tunnels.
B&M introduced a hyper coaster in 2009 at Kings Island in Ohio called Diamondback that features a splashdown section of the ride where water sprays as the train passes over a man-made lake.

You should be knowledgeable to check your priorities for medical travel abroad upon inquiring a few medical tourism facilitators. Your priorities must closely match to the information of medical tourism providers.
Your surgery package begins with registering with the medical tourism provider. Knowing your priorities, the healthcare professionals give you cost estimate. Upon checking your financing options, the cost estimate and your health-medical tourism package will be conformed against the selected destination country and healthcare provider respectively. The type of surgery also is another major concern.
The destination country, the health provider and the surgeon is introduced to get familiarize along with your first consultation. Your medical tourism provider will arrange for video conferencing with your specialist abroad allowing you to express your health concerns, the recovery period, gaining self-confidence on the surgeon's ability and your treatment options. The specialist will review your medical records and will ask you to get yourself prepared by giving some prescriptions or precautions to follow.
You will be assigned a personnel care manager who will take care of your itinerary of the whole travel destinations including the tourist locations, paper work for travel, contacting with host country manager and are included, be assigned to you. Upon your departure from your home country, the host country manager will receive you and proceed to the hospital for registering at the hospital.
The host manager will give you all the necessary information about the local travel, important phone numbers and hand phone to keep in touch with your family abroad and arrange for your next consultation with your specialist. Your specialist examines your health condition; perform any diagnostic tests required for your surgery to know the disease maturity. You should be able to convey any other troubling health condition so that it is taken care and do not obstruct surgery's success. Your surgery dates and recovery periods are conformed to you.
Your post-surgery treatment will be detailed which has to be followed with strict adherence. Your discharge summary, medical records and relevant prescription for post-surgery treatment are transferred to your local physician in your home country. You can opt for telemedicine option in your home country as part of your post-surgery treatment.
Getting yourself prepared for the medical travel
You should know some important information before your travel. Your passport and visa validity should be in line with your tentative surgery dates and recovery period. Your itinerary should include additional few days in case of your recovery period extension. Your medical and insurance documents, if any, should be handy all the time. You should be able to furnish them when necessary.
It is important for the host manager to know about your dietary regimen. He should advice you about nearest ATMs, which accept MASTER or VISA credit cards to meet any emergency and local expenses. Planning in temperate weather conditions will allow your immunity to faster recovery and hence you should carry appropriate clothing.
Your host manager should also inform you about local culture, language spoken and make sure the medical tourism provider assist you in keeping a translator if there is any need. Planning for recreational activities should be on the advice of your specialist.

How to: Build a Wireless Bridge Using DD-WRT, Part I
Page 1 of 1
Over at Wi-Fi Planets monthly Ask the Wi-Fi Guru column, we receive a large helping of reader questions. Over time, some common themes have emergedproblems with wireless signal strength, securing connections, and anything related to the iPhone, for example. But, even given the intensity of interest in these topics, the single most popular subjects amongst those seeking wireless networking help from Wi-Fi Planet are wireless bridging and wireless repeating.
We published an introductory tutorial on setting up a wireless bridge using the free, open source DD-WRT way back in 2006which, in Internet years, may as well be 1906. And yet, most of that tutorial is still relevant today and thousands of readers still flock to it every month. Given the hunger among our readers for more information about DD-WRT and how to create wireless bridges and repeaters with it, weve put together this new tutorial series. Consider it Building a Wireless Bridge, Volume II: Full Throttle.
Bridge to somewhere
In the real world, a bridge connects two land masses, often separated by water. In wireless networking, a bridge is used to connect two local area networks (or LANs) separated by, well, air.
You can think of a wireless router as the center of a single LAN. Every device connected to a single routerwhether connected physically by Ethernet cable or wirelesslyis part of the same LAN.
Now suppose you have a device that is not part of the LAN, but you want it to be. The problem is that you dont have an easy way to connect it. For example, you might have a printer or a gaming console, such as the Xbox or Wii, which only has a cabled Ethernet connection. If the device is far away or on another floor from your wireless router, running a cable could be complicated.
The solution is a wireless bridge. Using a second wireless router installed with DD-WRT, the router will connect to your primary router and share the network with any connected Ethernet devices (most routers have four built-in Ethernet ports, but you can add one or more external switches with four, eight, or more ports each to expand even further).
In a wireless bridge setup, the devices connected to your secondary router will be part of the same LAN as your primary router, as if every device were connected to your primary router. This means that all machines in the LAN can see each other so that a computer can access a printer or two computers can share files, for example.
Now suppose a different scenarioyou want to set up one or more machines with shared Internet access, but you want to borrow that Internet access from a primary router, which is elsewhere. In other words, you dont want to join the primary routers LAN, you just want to piggyback on its Internet access for a separate LAN.
The solution is a wireless client, which is also a configuration mode in DD-WRT. The principle behind a wireless client is much the same as a wireless bridge, but the wireless client mode creates a second LAN around your secondary router. This allows you to create separate LANs and firewall traffic from each differently, but devices in one LAN may not be able to see devices in the other.
Most home and small business networks will find the wireless bridge mode more useful than wireless client mode, although for simply extending an Internet connection either mode will work.
The important thing to remember when using either wireless bridge or wireless client modes is that your secondary router is not broadcasting a wireless signal. In other words, it is receiving a wireless signal from your primary router and sharing that with wired devices. You cannot connect to your secondary router with a Wi-Fi-enabled machine, such as a laptop, printer, or iPod touch.
Repeater repeater
Thanks to DD-WRT, it is possible to create a wireless client or a bridge which also broadcasts a wireless signal. This is called a repeater, and DD-WRT supports two kindsa wireless repeater and a repeater bridge.
Both modes function like their earlier counterparts. In repeater bridge mode, the secondary router creates a wireless bridge to the primary router, meaning it shares the same LAN. But in addition to connecting wired devices, it re-broadcasts a wireless signal using a virtual radio, allowing both wireless and wired devices to join the primary routers LAN.
In contrast, wireless repeater mode is akin to wireless client mode, creating a new LAN around the secondary router.
The advantage of repeater mode is obvious: you can effectively extend the range of your primary routers wireless signal. But there is also a disadvantage: wireless devices connected to your secondary router will lose half the bandwidth of your LAN. This means that their network speeds will be slower especially for internal networking, such as file-sharing or streaming media.
Slower wireless speeds from the repeater are a result of how the secondary router must operate: it needs to receive a signal from the primary router and then re-broadcast that signal locally. But the router has only one radio and so can only do one of these things at a time. In practice it switches between modes rapidly so that it appears both are happening at once, but in fact by operating in half-duplex mode like this, the maximum signal speed is halved. (We will look at one solution in the next installment of this series.)

Scrum Sevens
Upsetting the apple cart
ESPNscrum Staff
July 21, 2011

Following Samoa's historic win over Australia in Sydney last weekend, Scrum Sevens celebrates some other occasions when the Pacific Islands were able to upset the odds.
Wallabies boss Robbie Deans was widely criticised for his squad selection, but that detracts from a Samoan performance that blended brute force and flair in the best traditions of Pacific rugby.
Fiji will hope to cause a similar upset against the All Blacks on Friday and we've given them a few examples to follow as we look at a British & Irish Lions side defeated, the hosts of the World Cup coming undone and a Tongan side prevailing in Brisbane.
Australia 11-16 Tonga - 1973
Tonga produced the finest result in their rugby history in Brisbane on June 30, 1973. In only their second tour outside of the Pacific Isles, Tonga faced a New Zealand Maori side a month prior to journeying to Australia and defeated their Kiwi counterparts 11-3.
Nevertheless, the Tongans arrived in Sydney with the odds firmly stacked against them and the favourites prevailed - winning the opening Test 30-12. Few people gave the tourists a hope when they arrived in Brisbane the following week. The Australians made just two changes from their victorious side, while the Tongans made effective alterations. New outside-centre Tali Kavapalu crossed the line first for Tonga and winger Sami Latu soon followed. The Tongans scored a further two tries in a 16-11 win, ensuring a landmark in their history and a moment to forget for the Wallabies.
Fiji 25-21 British & Irish Lions XV -1977
The 1977 British & Irish Lions travelled to New Zealand with plenty of expectation on their shoulders. In 1971 and 1974 the tourists had emerged victorious from series against the All Blacks and Springboks and while the '77 vintage won 21 of their 26 games on tour, they fell 3-1 in the Test series and later slipped up against Fiji in Suva.
The Lions side featured legends such as Ian McGeechan, Phil Bennett and Bill Beaumont but they were arguably already back in the Heathrow arrivals lounge when they landed. The Lions were defeated five tries to three with flanker Vuata Narisia crossing the line twice for the home side.
Ireland 25-40 Samoa - 1996
Samoa recorded their third victory over Five Nations opposition at Lansdowne Road in 1996. Despite being in the midst of an awful run of form, Ireland were still confident heading into the tie and boasted a side that included future British & Irish Lions' Paul Wallace and Jeremy Davidson.
They came up against a resilient Samoan side in a game that launched the career of one of the Premiership's most well respected former players. A young No.8 named Zak Feau'nati, who went onto play for London Irish, Leeds and Bath, was spotted by a scout and invited for a trial with the Exiles on the back of his performance. Samoa outscored Ireland five tries to one - with To'o Vaega crossing twice - and it was only Simon Mason's boot that kept the score relatively respectable for the home side.
Wales 31-38 Samoa - 1999
Following Samoa's historic 16-13 win over Wales in the 1991 World Cup, few gave the Islanders any chance of them repeating the feat. The 1991 game heralded the arrival of one of Samoa's favourite sons, Brian Lima, on the international scene, while the 1999 game displayed the Islanders' brute strength like never before.
Wales still reached the quarter-finals of the tournament, where they were soundly beaten by Australia, but the Samoan victory shocked the rugby-watching public. Outscoring the hosts five tries to three, with two of Wales' efforts coming through penalty tries, Samoan physicality proved to be the decisive factor. Welsh scrum-half Rob Howley later said: "Whilst everything was pretty rosy, the Samoan team that day had Va'aiga Tuigamala and Pat Lam playing for them, along with Graham Bachop who had actually been coached by Graham Henry. In the Samoan game they did a job on our ball-carrying players and we could not create any forward moves at all because we were relying on those particular players."
Tonga 20-16 France - 1999
France journeyed to Tonga looking to start their build-up for the 1999 Rugby World Cup. However, they faced a resolute home side who had other ideas at the Teufaiva Stadium.
The future World Cup finalists fielded a predominantly second string-squad but the likes of Christophe Lamaison, Fabien Galthie and Thomas Casteignede were all playing for Les Bleus. Josh Taumololo crossed the line twice for Tonga, with their additional try coming through winger Tauna'holo Taufahema. France's fortunes did not get much better on the tour as they lost to the All Blacks the following week 54-7.
Fiji 38-34 Wales - 1999
In 2007, Wales looked certainties for a World Cup quarter-final berth against South Africa, with Fiji their only stumbling block. Nicky Little orchestrated a thrilling win for the Islanders as Wales committed the cardinal sin of engaging Fiji in an open, running game.
Despite being outscored in terms of tries on the day, Little's kicking was mesmeric and following a late try from Fiji's Graham Dewes, they secured their passage to the knock-out stages. In the 73rd minute, Wales thought they had done enough with Martyn Williams' intercept try putting them back into the lead, but the final say went to Dewes who bundled over from close range. The game ended on a doubly emotional note for the Fijian's with talismanic fly-half Little leaving the field at the final whistle on a stretcher.
Italy 17-25 Pacific Islanders 2008
The Pacific Islanders have played nine recognised Tests and have only recorded one win, which is enough to force its way into this week's selection. Italy were looking to reassert themselves at Europe's top table following a dismal Six Nations campaign in 2008 where they collected the wooden spoon. After failing to win any of their autumn internationals they came up against a Pacific Islanders side with the same claim.
However, the Islanders, complete with Vilimoni Delasau and Seilala Mapusua, had different ideas and prevailed at the Reggio Emilia 25-17. Delasau was in inspired form crossing the try line twice along with Saracens back Kameli Ratuvou, who also grabbed a score. Despite Italy fielding the Bergamasco brothers and the inspirational Sergio Parisse they were powerless to prevent an unlikely home defeat.

Respiratory Therapist Program at SCC Establishes National Honor Society
TheAdvanced-Level Respiratory Therapist Program at Somerset Community College (SCC) recently announced the establishment of the Lambda Beta Society, a national honor society for the profession of respiratory care. This honor society was formed with a purpose to promote, recognize and honor scholarly achievement of students, graduates and faculty members of the profession.
The name of the society is based on the goals of the Respiratory Care profession: sustaining life and breath for all mankind. Lambda (?) is the Greek letter L, and beta (?) is the Greek letter B. The society currently has more than 100 chapters established at Respiratory Care programs throughout the United States.
SCC is excited to induct the first members of this prestigious organization during the Spring 2013 semester. The newest members of the Lambda Beta Society are charter faculty members: Jess Hoskins, Jason Asher, Cindy Fouts, Angie Mills and Caleb Pence. Student inductees: Kendall Jenkins (Corbin), Danny Faulkner (Mt. Vernon), Jeff Steely (London), Jeremy Messer (Corbin) and Shawn Castle (London). The student members must have completed a minimum 50 percent of the Advanced-Level Respiratory Therapist Program curriculum while maintaining their academics in the top 25 percent of their program cohort.

SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — A 7-year-old Afghan boy born with his bladder outside of his body awoke from corrective surgery just in time to say goodbye to the U.S. Army officer who helped make it possible.
The Scranton Times-Tribune reported Saturday (http://tinyurl.com/nbdghyj ) that Bilal Sharif had the surgery Thursday at a New York medical center, but was still sleeping Friday when Maj. Glenn Battschinger came to see him before leaving for a deployment in Africa.
Battschinger says the operation was tremendous success, a happy ending to the 15 months he spent setting up the surgery and flying to the United States with the boy.
Battschinger says his job as a civil affairs officer is to rebuild stability in parts of the world affected by war. He says that includes providing opportunities for children like Bilal.

My Love for Lizzie
My cat Lizzie was a truly unique cat. She acted like a dog, in that she ran to you if you called, she followed you or strangers down the sidewalk, visited the neighbors, she followed commands, and jumped from the ground into my arms.
American Animal Hospital Association's process of accreditation is similar to what human hospitals go through.
Just wanted to let you know that Allie is doing great after Lap Spay on 4-10-12. Took her one day and she was back to normal. What a great way to get a dog spayed- I will recommend it to all my friends. Here is a photo of Allie that I took yesterday in our pasture with California Poppies. I thought it was cute! Thanks again!!

I have been taking my Beagle, Destiny, to Sylvan Vet for the last 10 years. She has had many medical problems throughout her life. There were times that I didn't think she was going to pull though, yet, with wonderful Veterinarians like Dr. Tiffany Cardoza and Dr. Kipp Magnussen, she is still here with me today. I am grateful for their expertise in knowing exactly what she needs and for their compassion towards the both of us, in our hour of need. We are very blessed to know that compassionate help is always there. My deepest thanks and appreciation.
DeAnna Bingham
Sylvan Veterinary Hospital has been an important part of our family's life for several years now. Most recently they helped to preserve our pug Sweetie's vision with a new surgery technique. Everyone in the hospital works diligently to serve our needs. There is open communication with the front office staff, the technicians and the doctors whenever necessary. Our concerns and questions are always addressed quickly and the doctors are always available to us whenever needed.
Roger and Diane
What a great neighborhood veterinary clinic! I love the convenient hours and boarding facility. They have a nice, friendly staff and team of doctors who involve me in making the right choice for my pet.
Karin Mcknight
I can't say enough about the miraculous results you can get from laser therapy. I used it for my puppy's foot wound that wouldn't hold stitches. The wound was completely closed in three treatments-without a scar! Also, this pup has elbow dysplasia and laser has helped him quickly regain soundness when he played too roughly. And the best part- it's not expensive. I'm a tried-and-true believer of this technology.
Lee Nudo and Jagger La Grange, CA
Eleven years ago, Dr. Kipp Magnussen saved the life of my young kitten and I was genuinely impressed with his compassion and competence. Over the years I have been extremely happy with the care all the vets and vet techs have provided for my various dogs and cats. In addition, it is a mark of commitment to the highest standards of quality medical care that Sylvan Vet is accredited through the AAHA. I continue to highly recommend this clinic.
Page Riskin, MD
We have been a client of Sylvan Vet for the past 20 years. Just recently, Bodie, our Chocolate Lab experienced a wound to his back that was quite serious. After two months of patience, determination and constant care by Dr. Kipp Magnussen, Bodie has been nursed back to health. Kipp's staff has become family to us. Each and every one of them is kind, friendly and compassionate! Bodie just celebrated his tenth Birthday and is even swimming again. Thank you Sylvan Vet!!
I love the doctors and staff at Sylvan Veterinary Hospital for the care and compassion they have given my dogs over the years. From luxating patella surgery to nail cleaning, the care level is the highest. I would recommend them to any and all pet owners.

DETROIT (CW50) New Year's is almost here, which means it's time to set those annual resolutions — and try, once again, to stick to them.
Make the first day of the new year a fresh start toward a practical and more manageable fitness program by joining representatives from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Michigan Recreation and Park Association (MRPA) and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) for special "Shoe Year's Day" snowshoe and hiking events taking place in state and local community parks and recreation areas across Michigan on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013.
Strap on a pair of snowshoes or lace up the hiking boots and join other fitness-minded individuals for the "Shoe Year's Day" treks. Participants will receive healthy lifestyle tips from local experts, enjoy healthy refreshments and have the opportunity to make an official pledge to get Fresh Air Fit this year.
"Local parks and recreation departments provide affordable, accessible places for people to be active," said Michigan Recreation and Park Association Chief Operating Officer Ann Conklin. "From trails and parks to local community centers and pools, to health and wellness programs and activities, there are endless opportunities to get fit and healthy through your local parks and recreation departments."
"Our second annual 'Shoe Year's Day' activities are our way of luring Michigan residents off the couch by offering healthy outdoor alternatives to a day traditionally spent in front of the TV," said DNR Parks and Recreation Division Chief Ron Olson.
"We feel it's important for Michigan residents to remember that many of our state parks and recreation areas are open all winter, and our staff is busy grooming the parks for activities such as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and winter hiking. We hope that 'Shoe Year's Day' inspires participants to get outside even during winter, so that exercising in natural surroundings will become, well, second nature," Olson said.
Enjoying winter sportsand activities among some of the most beautiful scenery in Michigan offers extra benefits to health-conscious individuals. Studies show that exercising in a natural setting improves not only physical conditioning, but also helps improve mental attitudes by relieving stress and reducing depression. "Plus it's less expensive than a gym membership," Olson said. "A half-hour on a treadmill can get you fit, but think about what a half-hour hiking through a quiet winter woods can do to not only increase physical stamina, but to lift the spirits as well."
"No one can deny the benefits of physical activity," said Bridget G. Hurd, director of Community Responsibility for BCBSM. "However, when the winter months come along, we are less motivated to get outdoors and exercise. 'Shoe Years Day' is an exciting program that encourages residents to get outdoors, engage in physical activity, and enjoy the natural wonders that our state and local parks offer."
All "Shoe Year's Day" events are free, and snowshoes will be available on loan at most locations. A Recreation Passport is required for vehicles entering all Michigan state parks and recreation areas. For a list of "Shoe Year's Day" activities, visit: www.michigan.gov/stateparks.
More outdoor fun and exercise is available through the DNR's Recreation 101 program, which provides expert instruction to budding outdoor enthusiasts by offering free, hands-on training in over 50 different activities. Learn about participating or becoming an instructor, at www.michigan.gov/rec101. The DNR also offers ongoing nature programming; check out the schedule at http://www.michigan.gov/natureprograms" href="http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTIxMjE4LjEzNTgwMjQxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDEyMTIxOC4xMzU4MDI0MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MzE3NTgxJmVtYWlsaWQ9cHVibGljYWZmYWlyc0B3a2JkdHYuY29tJnVzZXJpZD1wdWJsaWNhZmZhaXJzQHdrYmR0di5jb20mZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&109&&&http://www.michigan.gov/natureprograms?source=govdelivery">http://www.michigan.gov/natureprograms.
The Recreation Passport is an easy, affordable way for residents to enjoy and support outdoor recreation opportunities in Michigan. By checking "YES" for the $10* Recreation Passport ($5 for motorcycles) when renewing a license plate through the Secretary of State (by mail, kiosk, online at www.expresssos.com or at branch offices), Michigan motorists get access to state parks, recreation areas, state forest campgrounds, non-motorized state trailhead parking and state boat launches. In addition, Recreation Passport holders can experience real savings at businesses and retailers that participate in the Passport Perks discount program. The Recreation Passport is valid until the next license plate renewal date. Nonresidents can purchase the Recreation Passport ($29 annual; $8 daily) at any state park or recreation area or through the Michigan e-Store at www.michigan.gov/estore. *Starting Jan. 2, 2013, the purchase price of the Recreation Passport is $11 for Michigan residents.
Learn more about this creative way of sustaining Michigan's outdoor recreation and natural resources at www.michigan.gov/recreationpassport. For information on Passport Perks shopping discounts or how businesses and retailers can enroll in the program, visit www.michigan.gov/passportperks.

MTV has moved on from racy teen drama "Skins."
While "Skins" was airing, the hourlong drama was shrouded in controversy with several advertisers like Taco Bell, Wrigley gum and General Motors pulling out because of its content.
Photos from THR: Best and worst dressed at MTV Movie Awards
The decision was not a shock: Skins premiered in January to 3.3 million total viewers (and 2.7 million in the core 12-34 demographic) in a post-"Jersey Shore" slot before losing half of its viewership for the second episode — with heavy movie promotions and network promos, a sign of advertiser defection — which drew 1.6 million.
Near the end of its freshman season, "Skins" saw slight improvement in the ratings, luring 1.2 million for the closer — up a tick from the penultimate episode (1.1 million).

MTV issued a statement regarding the cancellation: " 'Skins' is a global television phenomenon that, unfortunately, didn't connect with a U.S. audience as much as we had hoped. We admire the work that the series' creator Bryan Elsley did in adapting the show for MTV, and appreciate the core audience that embraced it."
Back in April, MTV's David Janollari told THR of "Skins' " future, "Moving forward, a decision hasn't been made yet. But we're very pleased with the way the show did. We obviously made a huge noise with that. We're happy with the ratings and the reaction that we got from viewers."
The cable network isn't a stranger to such controversy, however. In 2009, Dominos distanced itself from Jersey Shore after groups disapproved over the cast's use of the ethnic slur "Guido."
More from THR: 'Skins' star defends show: 'It's what teens are doing'
"Skins' " TV-MA rating was also a roadblock for MTV in terms of amortizing the cost of the show over multiple airings since it could only be shown during late-night time periods.
"Skins," an adaptation of the successful British series, kept in line with the original drama showcasing teenage actors in the major roles.

John Chapin, professor of communications at Penn State Beaver, and two Beaver campus alumni, are co-authors of an article, "Who's listening to victims?" which appeared recently in the International Journal of Listening, 27(1), 2-12. Co-authors are Ted L. Froats Jr., who graduated in 2011, and Trey W. Hudspeth, a 2012 graduate. Both received a bachelor's degree in communications from Beaver and studied with Chapin.
The article compares listening styles of nurses and nursing students to a control group and discusses the importance of different listening styles to domestic violence screening in hospitals.
In fall 2011, Froats and Hudspeth were honored at the 72nd annual Pennsylvania Communication Association Conference at Westminster College, New Wilmington where they won second place in the Undergraduate Research Competition for a paper they wrote entitled "Questioning Fifteen Years of Research: A Study of the Effectiveness of Listening Styles Profile 16." The paper was written for the Communication Research Projects class taught by Chapin. In 2011, Froats also worked as Chapin's research assistant.
Currently, Froats is a public affairs specialist at the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and Hudspeth is the customer service manager for Walmart, Chippewa Township.
Chapin is the recipient of the 2012 United States House of Representatives Congressional Victims' Rights Caucus Certificate awarded by Congressman Jim Costa and Congressman Ted Poe, co-chairs of the Congressional Victims' Rights Caucus for work on behalf of victims of crime. In the past, Chapin has received citations from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and the U.S. House of Representatives for his research and volunteer work on behalf of domestic violence victims through providing domestic violence prevention and awareness programs.
Chapin, who joined the campus in 1998, has received a variety of on and off-campus awards, including the Penn State Beaver Advisory Board NOVA Chemicals, Inc. Faculty Excellence in Service Award in 2009.
He holds a doctorate in communication, information and library studies, from Rutgers University; a master's degree in communication studies and mass media from Shippensburg University, and a bachelor's degree in education from Bloomsburg University.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A week ago, doctors gave her little chance of survival. Now a Georgia grad student who is battling a rare flesh-eating infection is alert and bored enough to ask for a book, her father told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Aimee Copeland remained in critical condition at an Augusta hospital, unable to speak because of a breathing tube in her throat as she continued to fight the life-threatening disease that took hold after she gashed her leg in a fall from a broken zip line.
Doctors had to amputate most of the 24-year-old woman's left leg to save her life, and her father says she'll likely lose her fingers too. But he told AP that doctors now believe they'll be able to save not only the palms of his daughter's hands but her right foot as well.
Days ago she faced losing both of her hands and feet.
"This doctor can't fathom a reason for why she's improved the way she has," Andy Copeland said in a telephone interview. "Her spirits are extraordinarily high. I am absolutely amazed."
Copeland's father said his daughter seems aware that she's in the hospital after an accident. But for now, they're sparing her the details of her condition until after she has been removed from a respirator and is breathing on her own. That could come any day now.
"I'm not sure how much (she knows) as far as the leg and the hand amputations. I don't have those discussions with her," Copeland's father said. "... But if she asks we will tell her."
He said the family also wants to make sure a hospital counselor is available to help Copeland once she is informed of her condition.
Losing a limb is extremely difficult emotionally, and can be particularly difficult for young people, said Dr. Nadine Kaslow, chief psychologist at Grady Hospital in Atlanta.
"There is a process that they go through, a grief process," said Kaslow, who is not involved in Copeland's care. "There is shock, disbelief, anger, sadness and then a period of reconciling one to the situation and healing and figuring out how they are going to move forward in their life."
A graduate student in psychology at the University of West Georgia, Copeland contracted the rare infection called necrotizing fasciitis. It happened days after she suffered the deep cut May 1 when the zip line snapped over rocks in the Little Tallapoosa River.
Doctors at the local emergency room in Carrollton closed the wound with nearly two dozen staples, but it became infected within days. On May 4, she was diagnosed with the rare infection and flown 200 miles to Augusta for treatment by specialists at Doctors Hospital.
Copeland's father said she faces a long recovery not just from her amputation but also from kidney failure and other organ damage caused by the infection.
"She's going to be here for months," he said. "She's going to need to regrow skin that was removed. She's going to need to learn to use prosthetics. She's going to still be on dialysis for a while."
Infections by flesh-eating bacteria are rare but sometimes can run rampant after even minor cuts or scratches. The bacteria enter the body, quickly reproduce and emit toxins that cut off blood flow to parts of the body. The affliction can destroy muscle, fat and skin tissue. Affected areas may have to be surgically removed to save a patient's life.
The bug that infected Copeland, called Aeromonas hydrophila, is found in warm and brackish waters. Many people exposed to these bacteria don't get sick. When illnesses do occur, it's often diarrhea from swallowing bacteria in the water. Flesh-eating Aeromonas cases are so rare that only a handful of infections have been reported in medical journals in recent decades.
Some news reports have said Copeland was recently diagnosed with lupus, a chronic disease that compromises the immune system, but her father told The AP that's not true.
Andy Copeland said his daughter had sought treatment for a skin rash. Doctors initially feared it might be a symptom of lupus, but tests revealed Copeland had a food allergy.
"She was a vegetarian and she had a soy-based diet," Copeland's father said. "And it turned out she was allergic to soy."
More than 50 people lined up in the first hour for a blood drive Tuesday at the gymnasium at the University of West Georgia, where Copeland attends school 200 miles from the Augusta hospital. Some students walked to the blood drive, while others drove from other parts of the state.
Kara Dermo, a chemistry student who worked with Copeland at the Sunnyside Cafe, was one of the first in line. She was among the friends invited to try the zip line that sent Copeland plunging to the rocky river, but declined.
Dermo said Copeland's illness has been weighing on the minds of people on campus. Even the slightest amount of good news has been enough to raise the hopes of fellow students.
"It's very close to home. It makes you realize anything could happen at any time," Dermo said.
Associated Press staffers Marina Hutchinson in Atlanta and Ron Harris in Carrolton, Ga., contributed to this report.

A Manic Mango Bid for Pro Touring Excellence
Before we first saw Steve Stropes latest creation, every time we thought of a Duster, it was a Hemi-powered Pro Stocker, hacked and slashed 440 bracket racer, or wheezing high school beater. Make no mistake, we love Dusters, but we never, ever thought of them as Pro Touring fodderuntil now. In one fell swoop, DustYa elevates the little Plymouth into the 21st century and beyond. Its tasteful use of smartly tweaked factory styling cuesplus state of the art Pro Touring touches like EFI, a five-speed overdrive box, massive four-wheel discs, and serious suspension upgradesplace it firmly near the head of the class.
Its delicious, its classy, its ferocious, and its a Duster.
t all started when Boulder City, Nevada, Mopar enthusiast and lifelong HOT ROD reader Romeo Furio saw Stropes previous efforts in our pages. First came a Hugger Orange 67 El Camino (Oct. 95), then a sleek pewter 66 Charger (Sept. 98), then the Gumout-sponsored 66 El Camino giveaway car (Mar. 00), and finally Challenger X (Feb. 01). With each, Strope showed that sanitary construction techniques, subtle color combinations, and a touch of whimsy can surpass even the power of raw cash. Romeo liked the message, contacted Strope, and the two set about planning yet another creation.
At first Romeo had his heart set on a Dart, but Strope convinced him that the semi-fastback roofline of the Duster would yield a more graceful outcome. So the search was on for a solid Duster. Stropes hot rod shop, Pure Vision (805/522-2232; www.purevisiondesign.com), was just getting started, and he had placed ads in sympathetic Simi Valley storefronts as well as on the Internet. The Duster search wasnt going well, the local classifieds only showed later 73-up big-bumper versions, too clunky for Stropes vision, and retrofitting sleeker 70-72 parts still presented a major availability problem.
Then one day the phone rang, and an elderly man said hed seen the Pure Vision advertisement and had an old Plymouth to sellturns out it was a 71 Dusterand it was just two blocks away from the shop. Strope: I kept hoping for a solid body, trashed interior, and junk engine, because all I needed was the shell and trim. But the most important thing I hoped to find was a clutch pedal. After a six-minute jaunt to the sellers house, he saw his diamond in the rough, a solid, dent-free, Slant Six car with a column-shifted three-speed stick. It even had a trashed interior. Turns out the sellers landlord wanted the car gone, and any reasonable offer was acceptable. So $150 changed hands, both parties smiled, and Steve dragged the one-of-186,478-built Duster back to his shop.
As with most evolving art forms, this one cost Strope more to build than the last one. But owner Romeo Furio got what he wanted and even drove his investment on Power Tour 2002, getting noticed and opening closed minds every inch of the way.

The U.S. consumer price index was probably unchanged in December, suggesting that inflation remained quiet at year end. The CPI will be released at 8:30 a.m. by the Labor Department. Consumer prices minus the volatile food and energy categories, meanwhile, likely rose a scant 0.1%, according to economists surveyed by MarketWatch.
Consumer prices have retreated in the second half of the year mainly because of declining oil costs. That's partly offset an increase in food prices, some of which stem from a severe U.S. drought. Muted inflation means the Federal Reserve can continue its aggressive approach to try to boost the economy by billions of dollars in purchases of Treasury and mortgage-related debt.
After a 1.1% boom in November on the recovery from Hurricane Sandy, industrial production is forecast to grow a modest 0.2% in December. The year-on-year growth in production has slowed to just 2.5% from as high as 5.2% earlier this year. The Federal Reserve will release the data at 9:15 a.m.
An index of sentiment among home builders is expected to tick higher in January to 48 from 47 in December, according to economists surveyed by MarketWatch. December's level was the highest since April 2006. The builders' sentiment gauge has been rising for months on low inventories, rising sales and housing affordability. However, the index remains below a key reading of 50. Readings over 50 indicate that more builders see sales conditions as good than poor. Sentiment levels among home builders have more than doubled over the past 12 months, according to the index. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index will be released at 10 a.m.
Also from the Fed will be the Beige Book, a collection of anecdotes on the U.S. economy prepared in advance of the Jan. 29-30 meeting, which will give clues as to the state of the economy in the aftermath of a legislative deal that prevented most income taxes from rising but kept uncertainty on government spending and even functioning. The Beige Book will be released at 2 p.m.

The high levels of alcohol consumption in Europe contrast with the limited evidence available
The European Union is the region of the world with the highest levels of per-capita alcohol consumption. In fact, it is estimated that each year 55 million Europeans drink at dangerous levels.
As a consequence, alcohol is the third leading risk factor for death and disability in Europe, contributing to disease, injuries and accidents and harming European society and economy.
Although the harm done by alcohol is a major public health concern, there is a European policy research gap: the limited evidence base in Europe restricts the availability of science-based advice to policy decision-makers to support the implementation of effective interventions and protect health.
A focus on research will foster effective preventive measures
In 2006 the European Commission (EC) adopted an EU strategy to support Member States in reducing harm caused by alcohol and fostering related research. In addition, the EC issued a Communication on alcohol, stressing the important role that research and information systems play on the development and implementation of effective actions at European, national and local levels for prevention of hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption.
AMPHORA is a €4million project co-financed by the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of research of the European Commission and coordinated by the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona (FCRB) in Spain.
The aim of AMPHORA was to contribute new evidence on alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm in Europe, and to disseminate this knowlege to those engaged in policy-making for the development and implementation of more effective public health measures.
The AMPHORA 3 main objectives are:

Hubble Finds Oxygen Atmosphere on Jupiter's Moon, Europa
Astronomers using the Hubble telescope have identified the presence of an extremely tenuous atmosphere of molecular oxygen around Jupiter's moon, Europa. This makes Europa the first satellite ever found to have an oxygen atmosphere and only the third such solar system object beyond Earth to possess this gaseous element.
If all the oxygen on Europa were compressed to the surface pressure of Earth's atmosphere, it would fill only about a dozen Astrodome-sized stadiums.
Hubble Finds Oxygen Atmosphere on Jupiter's Moon Europa
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST) have identified the presence of an extremely tenuous atmosphere of molecular oxygen around Jupiter's moon, Europa. This makes Europa the first satellite ever found to have an oxygen atmosphere, and only the third such solar system object beyond Earth (the planets Mars and Venus have traces of molecular oxygen in their atmospheres).
This detection was made by a team of researchers at the Johns Hopkins University and the Space Telescope Science Institute, both in Baltimore, Maryland, and is reported in the February 23, 1995 issue of the journal Nature.
"Europa's oxygen atmosphere is so tenuous that its surface pressure is barely one hundred billionth that of the Earth," says principal investigator Doyle Hall, of Johns Hopkins. "It is truly amazing that the Hubble Space Telescope can detect such a wispy gas so far away." If all the oxygen on Europa were compressed to the surface pressure of Earth's atmosphere, it would fill only about a dozen Astrodome-sized stadiums.
The HST researchers caution that the detection should not be misinterpreted as evidence for the presence of life on the small, frigid moon. Located 5 times farther from the Sun than Earth, Europa is too cold, measured at -230 degrees Fahrenheit (-145 degrees Celsius), to support life as we know it.
Unlike Earth, where organisms generate and maintain a 21% oxygen atmosphere, Europa's oxygen atmosphere is produced by purely non-biological processes. Europa's icy surface is exposed to sunlight and is impacted by dust and charged particles trapped within Jupiter's intense magnetic field. Combined, these processes cause the frozen water ice on the surface to produce water vapor as well as gaseous fragments of water molecules.
After the gas molecules are produced, they undergo a series of chemical reactions that ultimately form molecular hydrogen and oxygen. The relatively lightweight hydrogen gas escapes into space, while the heavier oxygen molecules accumulate to form an atmosphere which may extend 125 miles (200 kilometers) above the surface. The oxygen gas slowly leaks into space and must be replenished continuously.
Europa is approximately the size of Earth's Moon, but its appearance and composition are markedly different. The satellite has an unusually smooth and nearly craterless surface of solid water ice. Mysterious dark markings crisscross the surface, giving the moon a "cracked eggshell" appearance. Under the apparently fragmented icy crust, tidal heating by Jupiter might heat the icy material enough to maintain a subsurface ocean of liquid water.
Of the 61 identified moons in the solar system, only three other satellites are known to have atmospheres: Jupiter's volcanically active moon Io (sulfur dioxide), Saturn's largest moon Titan (nitrogen/methane) and Neptune's largest moon Triton (nitrogen/methane).
Although scientists had predicted previously that Europa might have gaseous oxygen, a definitive detection had to wait for the ultraviolet sensitivity provided by HST's Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) instrument. The GHRS recorded the spectral signature of molecular oxygen (O2) on Europa in ultraviolet light during observations made on June 2, 1994, over a period of six Hubble orbits. Europa was at a distance of 425 million miles (684 million kilometers) from Earth.
The Hubble observations will be invaluable for scientists who are planning close-up observations of Europa as part of NASA's Galileo mission, which will arrive at Jupiter in December 1995. During its initial entry into the Jovian system on Dec. 7, Galileo will fly by Europa at a distance of less than 22,000 miles (35,000 kilometers).
