Rated 5 out of 5 by Barni52 Great place to be ! Booked a standard room for a three night weekend using SPG points. As Platinum member was offered an Executive Suite (incl. access to executive lounge) with splendid view over Balluta bay (room 1047, very recommendable, situated directly above executive lounge with fast access via staircase). Nice welcome at reception with a local Kinnie drink (herbal lemonade). Had planned to use fantastic indoor spa and gym, but due to warm and sunny weather (this is December in Malta!) spend unfortunately most of time outside hotel. Very nice rooftop pool and bar area (closed during winter), must be wonderful place in summer time. Two of the four lifts had been under reconstruction (at construction site display with quoted complaints of guests about poor lift quality !!! and promise to improve the lifts with the latest technology in elevator services). Dinner at The Villa Brasserie was a little bit disappointing. Good and reasonably priced barfood at KuDeTa lounge. Plenty of good restaurants in walking distance. Altogether we had been very pleased with location of hotel and service attitude shown. Our only complaint is about some ants in the room at beginning of stay. December 11, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by BartBelgium wonderful vacation (single traveller) I am a single traveller. Normally the rooms for single use are very basic. In Meridien St Julian's they give me a free upgrade to an executieve room. Thank you very much for that. It was very relaxing My stay was very good and wonderful. Very good location for visiting Malta. Well done to all staff. I took half board. The breakfast and dinner were excellent. I will return in the future and i will recommend this hotel ! July 16, 2014

Your staff were realy friendly and helpful. The reception staff were really antentive however our registration was rather confusing as we found the information was not clearly inparted to us. We would definately return to Le Meridian July 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lorenzo73 First Class This is an excellent hotel in terms of staff friendly and helpful approach, its location next to the beautiful St.Julian's but away from the noise, and for once easy parking, which if you know this area, is a great advantage. Our room was superb and I would hope to stay again. July 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Soundman Silver anniversary To celebrate our silver wedding anniversary we decided to holiday in Malta staying at the Le Meridien at St Julian's. What a great decision that turned out to be, from the day we arrived till the day of our departure the treatment by the staff was second to none. The hotel facilities were clean, modern and very comfortable, we had a spacious suite over looking the bay with a double balcony which made sitting on the balcony a treat. We had a few requests of the hotel namely the delivery of flowers and champagne the morning of our anniversary which was delivered at the appointed time, with a surprise cake and bottle of rose cava compliments of the hotel management. The complimentary cake and cava aside I cannot fault this hotel in anyway shape or form and would highly recommend a trip to the hotel spa. July 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Daisy720 Amazing Hotel The staff couldn't help us enough. No matter what you needed they were always friendly and very helpful. Great location amazing view! Be sure to get a sea view as high up as you can. We were on the 11th floor and our view of Balluta Bay was spectacular. Sean and Christian, Nick and Clevan as well as the concierge staff were fabulous!! The staff of the jewellery store were very patient. View from the 12th floor outdoor pool AWESOME! July 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Smaxsy Fantastic Location We have now stayed at this hotel 4 times and each stay has been perfect. The hotel is very well managed and the staff are very attentive, rooms are spacious and kept very clean and if you have a room overlooking the bay then the view is fantastic. The location of the hotel is perfect it is a short walk away from the busy Paceville area where there are many wonderful restaurants and busy bars should you wish to venture out in the evening. There is a lovely promenade along the front outside the hotel which runs along the coastline to the areas of Sliema and Msida and if you like walking this is a must as there are lots of cafes to stop and refresh along the way. The local bus service is great and many buses will take you to various parts of the island for much less than the local taxis, plus the local sightseeing tour stops just outside the hotel and can be taken around the island with a hop on hop off service making it a very easy and relaxed way of seeing Malta. We find the hotel to be very pleasant and very well maintained. There are building works taking place nearby but we have never found these to be an issue and if you look around the rest of the island this seems to be a pretty common sight. We have not eaten in the hotel restaurant so cannot vouch for food here but we have eaten in the Ku De Ta lounge and bar and have found the food here very nice and reasonably priced for a 5* hotel. Our only small gripe with the hotel is the lift situation, only two lifts for such a large hotel mean at busy times, i.e. meal times, the wait can be long and often you have to let them pass as they are too full to get in. We used the stairs to walk down but being on the 10th floor we didn't attempt the walk up! I believe they are trying to improve the lift service so you have to appreciate and respect that work is being carried out. All in all a great hotel with a fantastic location and would recommend this to anyone who visits Malta. We will definitely be returning at least once next year! November 20, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by anne299 a precious gem in Malta we have just come back from a wonderful stay at Le Meridien St Julian's (Malta). it was the most wonderful holiday we've had for a very long time. Well done to all staff - who were always going out of their way to help. July 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by goldman20 Yet another excellent stay! Once again we were exceedingly well looked after at this hotel. The upgrade to a junior suite was much appreciated and the views out to sea were excellent. All the staff were very good and helpful and I would especially like to thank the bar staff who were stars during the closure of the executive lounge. On our last morning we had a very early check out (3am) and the provision of tea and coffee and snacks at reception was a vey welcome and thoughtful way to send us off to the airport. Nice to see that the lifts are being updated, the service is now much better even with only 2 of the 4 lifts working. March 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tom36 This hotel has great dinner ! The bed was to hard and the efficiency by breakfast could be better. Great hotel July 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by xxxxxxxxxx2014 Generally good service - but some exceptions Generally good. Enjoyed location and facilities, and most of the service and staff. The exception was the staff and service at the pool which was really bad. July 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Theo12 Memorable stay in great hotel Our first trip to Malta was made very memorable by our choice of hotel. The hotel is clean, and quiet notwithstanding the internet comments that St. Julien's and surrounding environment is "party city".The staff were very attentive and friendly, especially towards our 6 year old son. The concierge was very helpful with suggestions/tips on tours and getting around that really made our trip memorable. Would stay again in a heartbeat June 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gballerina Some remarks Peaple outside of the hotel use the sweming pool on the top 12 level. The hotel entrence 0 leves is without control and every one can take the lifts have acces in the hotels. In the room is not possible to have darkness because the drapes are worn; Wanderfull vew of the Balluta Bay July 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by wmwm Good hotel, but deposit for wifi is ridiculous The hotel facilities were great, staff were helpful, and the food was excellent, but I was asked to provide a 250EUR (30EUR per night) guarentee pre-auth on a card in order to use wifi, presumably in case I used too much bandwidth while in my room. This is a ridiculous prospect, especially when staying as a corporate-booked guest for a week long event in which I was using wifi all day from 8-6 in the events part of the hotel. Also, the beds are very hard and with a bad back I found them difficult to sleep through the night in. May 25, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Unhappy Old fashioned hotel There is no WI-FI in the room, the free one in lobby is ridiculously slow. The TV is small and old fashioned, like 15 years old? The hair dryer does not have power, I have to wake up 30 min earlier to dry my hair. Overall impression is very depressive, staff not helpful, seems they do not care. I am frequent traveler and this is my worst ever experience in Starwood hotel chain. :-( February 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by karlragtop Great Holiday We have just returned from a fantastic holiday at this hotel - the staff were freindly and welcoming and the choice of food and wines were excellent. We were lucky enough to have a large well presented room looking over the bay. Theres no doubt we will return in the future. June 28, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by Marine73 Nice Hotel But Not Luxurious We were hoping for a nicer experience than we had in this hotel. Location and facilities are excellent but our executive upgraded room (we paid extra) had paint-spatterings in several places after decoration and housekeeping in room & corridors had insufficient cleaning. The room itself, on a high floor, was adequate and quiet with great views over the Bay and a useful balcony. We missed BBC World channel. We disliked the practice of being charged for just looking at (not even touching) loose minibar items on tabletop & opening minibar door (cancelled on checkout challenge). Staff? Well, not good although some notable exceptions e.g. KuDeTa Rest/Bar. Tone set by surly and sometimes aggressive Reception. The dinner menu in the KuDeTa restaurant did not change for the whole week so lacked variety, althought the food served was excellent and plentiful. Again huge praise to Stefan and his team. I would like to return to this hotel and hopefully have a nicer experience I expect of a Le Meridien hotel. February 5, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by JimJimmerJim Great Hotel Our second stay at this terrific hotel was even better than our first ... the staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. The hotel is very large, but comfortable and well sited. The food in the restaurants is excellent, and the breakfasts are epic! June 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Llig Birthday stay I had booked a one night stay at the hotel for my birthday with my mother and partners mother. It was excellent that the room was set up in advance for 3 people with the sofa bed but the fact 3 people were staying was not taken into account for the amenities, 2 robes, 2 glasses etc. the general cleanliness of the room was nice, bathroom was very clean but there was a lot of dust around the skirting board and under the sofa bed. The staff were really nice and polite. I know maintenance was required for the lifts but nay having 2 on a Sunday when there was events on caused a lot of problems. Lastly I was disapointed that the reservation team knew it was my birthday but it was acknowledged like other hotels have done in the past. Overall, a nice stay November 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by atters Friendly & good value The staff are all very attentive, friendly & helpful from check in onwards. The buffet dinner in the Scirocco restaurant offers an excellent choice & is very good value for money. The spa & outdoor pool facilities are very good as are the sea view rooms. May 31, 2014

Villanova upsets No. 3 Syracuse 75-71 in overtimeThe Associated Press | January 27,2013AP Photo
Syracuses Michael Carter-Williams, center bottom, cannot hang on to a loose ball against a trio of Villanova players during the second half of Saturdays game in Philadelphia.PHILADELPHIA Syracuse might want to scrub Philadelphia teams from the schedule.
In December, a loss to Temple.
On Saturday, a loss to Villanova.
Even worse for the third-ranked Orange, they were seconds away from a ninth straight victory.
Ryan Arcidiacono spoiled those plans with the tying 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds left in regulation, and James Bell hit consecutive 3s in overtime to send Villanova to its second win over a Top 5 team this week, 75-71.
The Wildcats defeated No. 5 Louisville 73-64 on Tuesday and became the first unranked team to beat two Top 5 teams in the same season since Florida State in 2011-12, according to STATS LLC.
Brandon Triche led the Orange (18-2, 6-1 Big East) with 23 points and Michael Carter-Williams added 17.
We couldnt get going offensively for a long time, coach Jim Boeheim said. We hung in there and battled.
The Wildcats (13-7, 4-3) took advantage with Syracuses rough night from the field.
Arcidiaconos 3-point attempt to tie with about 25 seconds left in regulation was off the mark. Carter-Williams missed the front end of a 1-and-1 and JayVaughn Pinkston of the Wildcats grabbed the rebound.
Bell missed a 3 and Mouphtaou Yarou grabbed the offensive rebound. Syracuse decided not to foul, giving Yarou time to kick it out to Arcidiacono. He let go a leaner from just beyond the 3-point line to tie the game at 61, force overtime and send the crowd of 18,273 into a frenzy.
I just put it up and luckily it went in, Arcidiacono said. I think were having fun.
The Wildcats may not be ranked in next weeks AP Top 25 poll, but they have worked their way into NCAA tournament consideration.
What a week for us, coach Jay Wright said.
What an understatement.
Philadelphias college fans came down with a case of court-storming fever this week after Villanovas win over Louisville and La Salles 54-53 win the next night over No. 9 Butler. At the Wells Fargo Center, home of the NHLs Flyers, the fans made it a Philly hoops hat trick, rushing the court in celebration of perhaps the biggest regular-season week in Villanova history.
With the Orange down two points in overtime, Triche made one free throw with 46.5 seconds left.
Bell followed with a layup to for a 71-68 lead and the Wildcats (13-7, 4-3) held on from the free throw line.
It stinks, but hopefully we play them again in the Big East tournament, Carter-Williams said.
Darrun Hilliard scored 25 points had six assists and no turnovers in 38 minutes. Yarou had 14 points and 16 rebounds for the Wildcats while Bell scored 13 points. The Wildcats committed only one turnover in the final 14 minutes.
Yes, this is the same team that lost consecutive games to Alabama, Columbia and La Salle in November. Theres no break on the schedule, either: Villanova plays Wednesday at No. 24 Notre Dame.
It takes time to build a team, Wright said. Thats what were doing here. Were building a team.
The Orange clearly could have use James Southerland in the tight game. Southerland, second on the team in scoring at 13.6 points and the team leader with 33 3-pointers, was declared out indefinitely because of an eligibility matter involving academics that has yet to be resolved.
Jerami Grant, who played well in Southerlands absence, hit a 3-pointer early in the second half that gave the Orange their first lead of the game, 33-32. Grant fouled out with 5:22 left and the Orange up one. His fifth foul was against Hilliard. Hilliard missed both from the line, the Orange stormed down in transition off the defensive board, and Triche hit a 3 for a 57-53 lead.
The Orange just could never put them away. They missed six of eight shots in overtime and were only 5 of 14 overall from 3-point range.
We played good D but their point guard just made a good shot to send it to overtime, forward C.J. Fair said. I knew we had a shot at coming back and winning this game. It just didnt bounce our way.
Triche, a 50 percent shooter on the season, hit Syracuses first 3-pointer of the half to slice the lead to four. He tipped in a basket at the buzzer to cut the lead to 32-26.
We missed a lot more layups than we have all year, Boeheim said. Thats part of the game.
GEORGETOWN 53, No. 5 LOUISVILLE 51
WASHINGTON Otto Porter had 17 points and grabbed the games decisive rebound with 1.4 seconds to play as Georgetown handed Louisville its third straight loss.
Trailing by one, Louisville had several chances to take the lead in the final 2 minutes. After getting the ball back on a disputed held ball ruling, the Cardinals kept the ball for a final shot. Peyton Siva, who didnt score in the game, missed the jumper, Porter grabbed the rebound and was fouled.
Porter finished with 12 rebounds for the Hoyas (14-4, 4-3 Big East).
Russ Smith, taken out of the starting lineup, finished with 12 points, while Luke Hancock and Gorgui Dieng also had 12 for the Cardinals (16-4, 4-3), who have their longest losing streak since January 2010. No. 1 in the country a week ago, Louisville then fell to Syracuse and Villanova.
No. 6 ARIZONA 74, USC 50
TUCSON, Ariz. Nick Johnson scored 14 points and No. 6 Arizona used a stifling defense to bounce back from a home loss and rout Southern California 74-50 on Saturday night.
The Wildcats (17-2, 5-2 Pac-12) were dominant from the opening tip, jumping out to leads of 18-4 and 29-7. They were up 39-20 at halftime.
The Trojans (8-13, 3-5), who shot 28 percent, trailed by as many as 34 in the second half.
Solomon Hill added 13 points, Brandon Ashley 11 and Kaleb Tarczewski 10 for Arizona. No USC player reached double figures in the Trojans lowest-scoring game of the season. Jio Fontan scored nine.
USC dropped to 1-3 since Kevin ONeill was fired and replaced by interim coach Bob Cantu. The other two losses were by one point to Oregon and 98-93 in overtime Thursday night at Arizona State.
This one was a blowout in a hurry.
The Wildcats, who fell behind UCLA 21-5 in Thursday nights 84-73 home loss to the Bruins, turned the tables on the Trojans.
USC made two of its first 19 shots and committed seven turnovers, allowing Arizona to go up 29-7 on Hills layup with 7:55 left in the half, the last points in an 11-0 Wildcats run.
When the Trojans managed to cut it to 36-20 with a pair of baskets in the final minute, Mark Lyons sank a 3-pointer from the top of the key 2 seconds before the buzzer to make it 39-20 at the break.
Arizona never led against UCLA, and never trailed in this one.
Johnson scored eight as the Wildcats streaked to a 12-2 lead, then consecutive 3s by Lyons and Parrom put them ahead 18-4.
The 20 points at the half were the fewest this season for the Trojans, who had averaged 72.4 points in their first seven conference games.
USC warmed up to 24 percent shooting in the first half (7 for 29), compared with 48 percent for Arizona (14 for 29).
But the second half started the same way the first did, with the Trojans making three of their first 20 shots. Arizona, meanwhile, took a 58-27 lead when Johnson banked in a 15-footer with 10 minutes to play.
USC was able to cut into the lead only when Arizona coach Sean Miller emptied his bench in the final 3 minutes.
USCs three-guard starting trio of J.T. Terrell, Byron Wesley and Renaldo Woolridge were a combined 5 for 26 from the field, 3 of 11 on 3-pointers.
UCLA followed its big win in Tucson on Thursday with a loss at Arizona State on Saturday.
STARKVILLE, Miss. Kenny Boynton and Erik Murphy each scored 18 points, Patric Young and Scottie Wilbekin added 13 and No. 8 Florida cruised to an 82-47 victory over Mississippi State on Saturday night.
The Gators (16-2, 6-0 Southeastern Conference) have now won eight straight and were never challenged in this one, bolting out to a 20-6 lead in less than eight minutes and a 41-19 advantage by halftime.
Florida hit a season-high 14 3-pointers, including four each by Boynton and Murphy. Boynton finished 7 of 11 from the field and 4 of 8 from 3-point range. The Gators shot 31 of 56 (55.4 percent) from the field.
Fred Thomas led Mississippi State (7-11, 2-4) with 19 points. Colin Borchert and Gavin Ware both added 10. The Bulldogs have lost four straight.
No. 10 GONZAGA 66, SAN FRANCISCO 52
SPOKANE, Wash. Kelly Olynyk scored 13 points, helping No. 10 Gonzaga extended its home winning streak against San Francisco to 24 games with a 66-52 victory on Saturday night.
Elias Harris had 12 points and 11 rebounds for Gonzaga (19-2, 6-0 West Coast Conference) and Kevin Pangos added 11 points. Gonzaga made 45 percent of its shots and was 8 of 20 from 3-point range.
Chris Adams led San Francisco (9-12, 2-6) with nine points and Avry Holmes scored eight. The Dons turned the ball over 17 times and were 9 of 24 from behind the arc.
Gonzaga built a 43-21 halftime lead, but started out sloppy in the second half. The Bulldogs made only one basket in the first four minutes.
IOWA STATE 73, No. 11 KANSAS STATE 67
AMES, Iowa Will Clyburn had 24 points and 10 rebounds and Iowa State handed Kansas State its second straight loss.
Freshman Georges Niang added 15 points for the Cyclones (14-5, 4-2 Big 12), who beat a ranked opponent for the first time this season.
Will Spradlin had 15 points and Rodney McGruder scored 13 to lead the Wildcats (15-4, 4-2), who lost on the road for the first time in four tries.
Kansas States eight-game winning streak was stopped Wednesday by No. 3 Kansas.
WISCONSIN 45, No. 12 MINNESOTA 44
MADISON, Wis. Traevon Jackson just beat the shot clock and hit a 15-foot jumper from the right side with 4 seconds left as Wisconsin handed Minnesota its fourth straight loss.
After Jacksons shot gave the Badgers a 45-43 lead, the Golden Gophers (15-5, 3-4 Big Ten) called a timeout with 1.8 seconds remaining and inbounded from halfcourt. The Badgers Mike Bruesewitz fouled Trevor Mbakwe on the play, but the big man was unable to shoot the ensuing free throws because of an apparent right hand or wrist injury.
Rodney Williams stepped to the line and made the first free throw, but missed the second and Sam Dekker grabbed the rebound to seal the win for Wisconsin (14-6, 5-2), which ended a two-game slide.
Andre Hollins had 20 points for Minnesota.
No. 14 OHIO STATE 65, PENN STATE 51
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Sam Thompson scored 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting for Ohio State.
DeShaun Thomas added 11 points, well below his Big Ten-leading average of 20.5. Thompson picked up the slack against the Nittany Lions, who went 11-plus minutes of the first half without a field goal.
Ohio State (15-4, 5-2 Big Ten) gradually asserted control in the second half, though scrappy Penn State (8-12, 0-8) tried to hang around with defense and got within 10 points with 2:41 remaining.
No. 24 NOTRE DAME 73, SOUTH FLORIDA 65
TAMPA, Fla. Jerian Grant scored 18 points and Tom Knight had 17 for Notre Dame.
Eric Atkins added 13 points and Pat Connaughton contributed 12 for Notre Dame (16-4, 4-3 Big East), which had lost three of four. Notre Dame forward Jack Cooley finished with six points and 14 rebounds.
Zach LeDay had 17 points and Anthony Collins added 12 for South Florida (10-9, 1-6), which led 35-28 at halftime.MORE IN Wire SportsEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Full StoryNEW YORK Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira had a third cortisone shot in his surgically... Full Story

RSR Files
The following Registry Summary Report (RSR) files are for use with AccessData's Registry Viewer® program. An RSR file is simply a template list of desired registry key/value locations, along with section headings. Registry Viewer can use these templates to quickly generate reports and can save significant time in cases where the keys/values being reported on are in a static location.
The RSR files available from AccessData have been collected from both internal and external sources. Each of these files has been reviewed by AccessData for basic functionality ONLY. Since every investigation varies, we cannot guarantee that these templates will report on the information you are targeting. AccessData recommends that you review the RSR files intended output prior to using it in a case or relying on it as the basis for any professional opinion. We suggest you do this by installing and then editing the RSR file (See below). Here you will be able to view or modify the values that particular RSR file is targeting.
We welcome additional RSR submissions and modifications! Please send additions and modifications to firstname.lastname@example.com.
RSR Files (Grouped by the target registry file)
Document Conventions
Hexadecimal numbers are indicated with a 0x prefix; i.e.: the hex number FFFF will be shown as 0xFFFF. Hex numbers may use both upper and lower case letters. They are generally presented as they are shown in the software examined or to the tool being used. For example, 0xffff is the same as 0xFFFF.Decimal numbers are defined by either a 0d, "decimal", or with no signature.
When referring to registry root keys, the abbreviation HKLM is used to signify the Microsoft use of
Paths in the registry will begin with the registry filename the data is contained in. The filename will be in uppercase. This is to distinguish between filename used by Registry Viewer and hive names used by Microsoft's Regedit. For example, the following path is from the NTUSER.DAT file. The same path follows if using the Regedit addressing system:
NTUSER.DAT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
Paths in the Registry are shown using backslashes to divide the keys and subkeys. However, if a value name is at the end of the path, it will be denoted with a forward slash. For example the value name "TestValue" would be shown as follows:
NTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion / TestValue
If general numbers are being expressed, like value sets that contain sequential numbers, the number will be expressed with an "n" notation to mean any number.
Numbers like 0001, 0002, 0003, etc. will be expressed as 000n or nnnn.
As with most registry content knowledge, this information is based upon the author's research. While described behavior has been found to be consistent, different platforms and user configurations may produce different results. Anyone with additional information or differing behavior is urged to contact the author so that updates and additional research can be conducted.
To install a specific RSR file for use in Registry Viewer, you simply download the file to the following location on your computer. \Program Files\AccessData\AccessData Registry Viewer\data. Feel free to rename these files to suit your needs however; the files MUST keep the .rsr extension and they must be in the "data" folder.
Once a particular RSR file is installed, you can access that template in Registry Viewer by choosing the "Manage Summary Reports" option under the Tools menu. Here you will have the option to preview that report, generate it, edit it or delete it. Remember, previewing a report does not generate it. To generate the report, select it from the list of available reports and then click the "Generate" button. The report will be generated and placed in the Report folder. This can be one of two places. In most cases it will be in the Registry_viewer folder in your FTK case folder. If you are using Registry Viewer outside of FTK, then your report will be generated in the default report folder at "C:\Program Files\AccessData\AccessData Registry Viewer\report". Remember, if you are using FTK to generate your final report, Registry Viewer reports are automatically added to your final report!
Additional Options
In the Manage Summary Reports Window, there are two additional options for report generation. They are "Reduce excess data output" and "Interpret DWORD values as time." These options often make the end report more presentable. Their use will depend on your specific needs.
Choosing an RSR template and then selecting the Edit button will open the "Define Summary Report" window. Here you will be able to view the different sections of the RSR template and make any desired modifications. Changing the name of the report in the "Summary Report Title" box will cause the report to be saved with the new name. Don't forget to submit that new and improved RSR file to AccessData if appropriate.

NCI and ASCO Develop Disaster Wallet Card for Gulf Coast Cancer Patients
NCI and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) have developed a wallet card that is being piloted with oncologists in the Gulf Coast states. The wallet card guides displaced cancer patients to ASCO's patient information Web site and NCI's Cancer Information Service (CIS) national toll-free number (1-800-4-CANCER), LiveHelp instant messaging service, and e-mail service available at www.cancer.gov/help.
Using this nationwide electronic and telecommunication infrastructure, patients and physicians can access and share information in the event of a disaster. The card also provides space to write the patient's name, diagnosis, and treatment to communicate vital information to health care providers.
"Connecting patients from all over the country to cancer information and clinical trials is what NCI's CIS does every day," said Madeline La Porta, former deputy director of CIS and current associate director of the Office of Dissemination, Initiatives, and Partnerships in NCI's Office of Communications and Education. "Our collaboration with ASCO will help reconnect displaced patients and doctors after a natural disaster so they can get the information they need."
This collaboration builds upon a successful partnership in 2005 in response to the devastation caused by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. NCI and ASCO worked closely to provide the toll-free CIS phone number and Web-based resources to help displaced doctors and their cancer patients contact each other to ensure continued care.
"Continuity of care is crucial to the health and well-being of people with cancer," said ASCO President Dr. Nancy E. Davidson. "ASCO is pleased to partner with NCI to ensure that people with cancer across the United States can access the high-quality care that they need, no matter what the circumstance."
Before developing the card, ASCO conducted a formative evaluation of the concept and prototype of the wallet card among oncologists and oncology nurses who attended the Oncology Nursing Society Annual Congress, the ASCO Annual Meeting, and an ASCO Committee Meeting. ASCO staff reported that all of the attendees surveyed at their annual meeting agreed that such a resource would be valuable for their patients.
The card will be piloted over the next year to include the 2008 hurricane season with oncologists in the Gulf Coast states. An evaluation of the pilot will help determine whether the program is expanded to cover other geographic areas or other potential disasters.
"When I received the e-mail about this program, I was very excited," says Coleen Booker, a registered nurse and coordinator for the GI Oncology Center at the University of Florida Shands Cancer Center in Gainesville. She recalls how after Hurricane Katrina, cancer patients from New Orleans came to Florida. Their medical records had been destroyed, and sometimes the patients didn't know how to spell their doctor's name, making it difficult to determine their true diagnosis, medical history, and best course of treatment. "But it's not just about catastrophes," she says. "With this program, if people come to Florida on vacation or as snowbirds to live for half of the year, these cards will make it much easier for us to help them."
Oncology practices in the Gulf States can order copies of the card by calling CIS at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237). Quantities may be limited.

August is leak detection month in Blaine, Birch Bay
Published on Wed, Aug 18, 2010 by
By Emily Resch
Read More
The City of Blaine and Birch Bay Water and Sewer District are designating August as Leak Detection Month.
Leak detection and repair inside the house is often very easy and simple and is a great first step towards creating a water efficient home if checked regularly.
It can also help homeowners save more than 10 percent on their water bills depending on the size of the leak.
One of the primary culprits for water loss inside the home due to leaks is a leaking toilet.
A leaky toilet can waste up to 200 gallons per day or 73,000 gallons a year if left unrepaired. Typically a toilet leak is due to deteriorated flapper valves, which are inexpensive and easy to repair.
The district recently repaired a leaky toilet in the men's restroom by replacing a worn flapper valve.
Our water usage went from 700 cubic feet over a two month billing period down to 300 cubic feet. The repair cost five dollars, while saving $13.88 based on 400 cubic feet of water and sewer usage saved.
To test for a toilet leak, add a few drops of food coloring or place a colored dye tablet in the toilet tank.
Wait 20 minutes and if any trace of color appears in the toilet bowl, there is a leak.
Both the city and district have leak detection dye tablets available for customers.
For more information or further questions, call 360/371-7100 or Blaine Public Works at 360/332-8820.

Adult Fiction COLEMAN
Summary: "Atlanta journalist Patricia Conley's take on men has always been in reaction to a childhood of neglect: "There is an old saying that if you love a man, let him go, and if he loves you, he'll come back to you. I say hunt him down and kill him." Just when she'd thought she found someone who accepted her for the intelligent, fiercely independent martial artist that she is, her fiance disappears. But before Patricia can get her hands on him, someone else does - or so it seems. As she sets out to uncover just why Kenneth Lawson did her wrong (and who did him in), she encounters more than what she bargained for and finds herself on a treacherous path that leads to death for anyone who dares take it." "In What a Woman's Gotta Do, Patricia, stumbles upon a plot that could devastate humanity. And if that isn't enough, she's hunted by the police for murder, by a crazed geneticist who thinks she knows too much, and by undercover cop Jeff Samuels, who claims to love her. Torn between his affection and the memory of Kenneth, Patricia awakens to realizations about what it means to be alone, and what it means to be independent."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Twenty-five years later, the pictures and the pain still linger.
"It was such a shock to the nation, it hit deep in our psyche," said Senator Bill Nelson, former shuttle astronaut.
It is an image seared into our national memory and honored now with memorials, including the annual laying of wreathes at Kennedy Space Center.
Seven were lost that day, including the first teacher-astronaut, Christa McAuliffe.
"To hear that there was going to be a way to talk to a teacher in space, this was all new ideas, and how does that happen?" said Micaela pond, a teacher.
It didn't, and hasn't since.
But the dream of McAuliffe, to break through barriers, has endured.
Dozens of schools around the world bear her name, and there are at least 50 Challenger learning centers - dedicated to teaching math, science, and space to a new generation.
Perhaps the most enduring legacy to seven American heroes is remembered today.

Businesses and the self-employed are set to receive further guidance on paying tax from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) after the authority launched a series of online seminars.
Under the new initiative, these business owners will gain access to two types of online advice, with a series of pre-recorded webinars available from the HMRC site around the clock.
A series of live 30-minute webinar presentations will also be available across a number of set dates, with each session providing an additional 30-minute question and answer session.
The webinars will focus on important tax topics for the self employed and new business owner including advice on what first steps to take as an employer along with guidance on how VAT works and how to fill out a Self Assessment form online.
Colin Ford, who is heading up the project for HMRC said:"It's inevitable that some people find tax issues daunting, especially if they are setting out in business.
"The webinars are one of the many ways that HMRC aims to make tax as hassle free as possible," he added.
In addition to this, those accessing the presentations will also gain a greater understanding of how limited companies work, the rules surrounding business expenses and capital allowances and HMRC's Construction Industry Scheme.

During the spring months as we walk through the produce department, most of us are thinking about berries, cherries, and peaches. After all, this is the season when those summertime items begin to get bigger, brighter, and tastier. Many people tend to speed past the apple displays and barely give them a second look. We have been conditioned to buy apples when the leaves change, not when they blossom. However, there is a new reason to give the apple section a lot more attention as we move closer to summer.
The legendary HoneyCrisp apple has been cultivated in the very capable apple growing country of New Zealand. The very same seed developed here at the University of Minnesota has made the long trek to this Pacific island nation. With the help of our local grower and partner Pepin Heights Orchards, Waipopo Orchards in Timaru, New Zealand have nurtured and picked a beautiful HoneyCrunch apple that rivals the best the United States has to offer.
HoneyCrunch? What's that you say? Pepin Heights and Waipopo have decided to market this New Zealand HoneyCrisp as the HoneyCrunch apple. This is to set the New Zealand HoneyCrisp apart from other HoneyCrisp apples that may be available at this time.
This apple is very particular about where it likes to grow. Any deviation from the correct climate conditions and the HoneyCrisp can look green and fall short of the flavor it is known for. Waipopo's orchards on South Island offer that "just right" climate that produces the best HoneyCrisp, or rather, HoneyCrunch! I am confident you can taste the difference.
This season will be very short with supplies only lasting until about the middle of June. Get them while you can. They are the perfect addition to any salad, dessert, or just by themselves. I would love to hear what you think!
It was created with a simple goal in mind: to provide you with a heaping scoop of mealtime inspiration and food education from our passionate and knowledgeable staff. Our contributors come from every corner of our company and are truly experts in their field.

The following is an excerpt from " An Intimate Life: Sex, Love, and My Journey as a Surrogate Partner," the memoir of Cheryl Cohen Greene, the surrogate partner who is played by Helen Hunt in film "The Sessions."
Michael and I hadn't had sex for almost a week. For some couples this would be unremarkable; for us it was a red flag. We had been in California for about a year and suddenly our sex life had dropped off a cliff. When I tried to kiss or cuddle up with him in bed he told me he was sleepy and rolled over onto his side with his back facing me. Michael being too tired for sex was like a fish being too tired to swim. I remembered when he would work a ten-hour shift at his hospital job and then come home and spend hours making love with me. The first couple of nights I tried to convince myself that maybe he was tired. Maybe he just needed some downtime. But when I was rebuffed for the fifth night in a row, I knew something other than fatigue was at play.
I needed to know what was going on. Even if my worst fear was true, at least I would know what I was dealing with and I could put an end to the speculation that was making me too anxious to relax even in corpse pose.
When I got home, Michael had just put the kids to bed and he stood at the kitchen sink washing dishes. I walked up behind him and put my arms around his waist. He turned on the water to rinse the suds off his hands and then twisted his body around, loosening my embrace. He took a few steps away from the sink with his hands up and grabbed a dishtowel.
"Michael, we need to talk," I said.
"Okay," he answered, and sat down at the kitchen table.
I sat down across from him.
"What's going on? Why aren't we having sex?"
Michael explained that he was feeling performance pressure because I regularly initiated sex.
"When I want sex I'll initiate it," he said.
This rocked me. First, I was humiliated. Was he saying that he didn't want to have sex with me? Was this Michael's way of accusing me of being a sex maniac, à la John, my teenage boyfriend? Also, I thought we were casting off tradition here. Was it suddenly wrong for me to want and initiate sex? I tried hard to maintain my composure, but soon I was crying again.
"Remember back in Boston when I told you that I had never been monogamous?"
I sure did. Michael told me this the first time we slept together. I wanted to think the sheer force of my love would turn him into a one-woman man.
"Well, I don't want to be monogamous now. I need more stimulation," he said.
More stimulation? I felt like the wind had just been knocked out of me. Then he pointed to an issue of the Berkeley Barb that lay on top of a pile of papers on our table. "Have you seen the ads for swingers parties in here?"
It took me no time at all to realize that Michael was asking for an open marriage. My feelings were not just mixed, but at odds. In 1970, traditional marriage was one of the many institutions up for popular review. In truth, I was curious about exploring with other men. I was only twenty-five. I had finally shaken off my religious guilt and shame and I was living in the heart of the sexual revolution, the San Francisco Bay Area. Part of me was happy to dispense with the confines of marriage, but another part of me was terrified of losing Michael. I did a quick, barely perceptible calculation and realized that opening the marriage would probably offer me the best chance at keeping it.

Under the pretense of promoting "reconciliation", Algeria's government granted amnesty to perpetrators of widespread killings and violence which left an estimated 150,000 dead between 1992 and 2002. ICTJ has worked with local civil society groups in Algeria to challenge amnesty laws and promote truth, accountability and redress for victims and their families.
Following a popular uprising in January and February 2011 that toppled President Hosni Mubarak, Egyptians are demanding accountability and seeking to address decades of political repression and human rights abuses. ICTJ provides technical assistance to aid state institutions and civil society actors in their efforts to remedy past wrongs and create a strong, rights-respecting society.
Iraq is attempting to face up to the legacy of grave human rights violations from the previous regime, while dealing with ongoing violence, political instability and sectarianism. ICTJ has worked there since 2003 advising Iraqis on various accountability and justice options and monitoring measures taken to address the past.
Conflict and occupation have brought untold suffering on the Palestinian and Israeli people. ICTJ's work in this region focuses on helping local civil society learn how they can use transitional justice mechanisms to deal with the past.
Lebanon carries a heavy legacy of human rights violations—almost none of which have been addressed in a serious or transparent manner. ICTJ works with local civil society and policymakers in Lebanon on measures to address the past and strengthen the rule of law.
Morocco's history since its independence in 1956 was marked by repression and widespread human rights violations. Since 2003, ICTJ has worked in Morocco with officials and civil society groups to address this legacy of violations through its transitional justice process.
Tunisia's January 2011 revolution opened the door to initiatives and debates on how to address a past of widespread political repression and human rights violations. As the country begins to implement its Transitional Justice Law, ICTJ provides Tunisian policymakers and civil society groups with advice and resources.

What is Jim Chanos Short Selling Now?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In a Bloomberg interview with billionaire hedge fund manager Jim Chanos, the infamous short seller discussed his strategy, a few of his positions, and even spoke a little on politics. Chanos believes that this year's 20% market rally has created an abundance of short sale opportunities.
After watching energy stocks lose nearly one-fifth of their value from February to July, investors saw a modest recovery of over 15% by August; this leads into one of Chanos' predictions. In the interview with Bloomberg, Chanos stated that natural gas and coal companies are a good place to look for short sale opportunities, though he did not elaborate on any specific market plays.
Taking a look at the banking sector, Chanos is long both JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) and Citigroup (NYSE: C). These positions are part of a hedge against a group of banks in Europe and China that Chanos is short on. JPMorgan and Citigroup are the best hedges against Chinese and European banks because unlike banks such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo, both are internationally focused and have a global footprint. JPMorgan has more than $2 trillion in assets and operates in more than 60 countries; its trading at 9.33 times earnings and 0.8 times their book value.
Citigroup is a global banking company with a presence in more than 160 countries and jurisdictions. The company is trading at 9.4 times its earnings and 0.5 times its book value. Chanos believes that there are problems in the Chinese banking system that have gone unnoticed. While some of the Chinese and European banks he's short on have been covered, he's still short Agricultural Bank of China.
Chanos has been very active in tech, and is sticking to the digitization theme he has employed for over 10 years. He believes that the Internet is living up to the hype of 2000, and has created destruction in industries like music and, soon enough, big box retailing.
Shifting to PC companies, Chanos believes that Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) and Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) have missed the fundamental shift from personal computers to tablets and phones. The infamous short seller believes that these companies have made risky acquisitions, such as Dell's purchase of Autonomy. If these acquisitions were recognized as R&D or CAPEX, these companies' positive cash flows would disappear. Hewlett-Packard has been taking restructuring charges every year, and restructuring often isn't enough to save a fundamentally flawed business.
To hedge his short positions in Dell and Hewlett-Packard, Chanos is long Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). Chanos believes that Microsoft "gets it," and is transforming itself into a software, hardware, and solutions company. He believes that the company's new tablet will be priced at a disruptive price point to existing competitors in the marketplace.
Hewlett-Packard has been the Dow's biggest loser, and is trading at 0.28 times sales and has an EV/EBITDA of 3.78. Like HPQ, Dell is far from expensive, trading at 0.29 times sales and has an EV/EBITDA of 2.87. Microsoft, meanwhile, is trading at 14.89 times earnings and has an EV/EBITDA of 6.63.
In his interview with Bloomberg, the Chanos gave some useful insight into the fundamentals and reasoning behind a few of his hedges. Understanding Chanos's positions can give both long and short investors a different perspective to the market. His thoughts on the tech and energy sector are different than those of many investors, but by hedging his positions Chanos is covering all the bases.

Everton's 14-game unbeaten home run came to an end as Frank Lampard's double helped high-flying Chelsea come from behind to win at Goodison Park.
It was harsh on the Blues, who were twice denied by the woodwork, and were unquestionably the match of their top-four rivals.
As he did on his return to Merseyside back in February, Steven Pienaar struck early against the Londoners.
In fact, there were just 63 seconds on the clock when the South African found himself perfectly positioned to meet a rebound off the post and lash low past Petr Cech.
Yet Lampard headed home to level just four minutes before the break and added to his tally 18 minutes from time to inflict Everton's first Goodison defeat in nine months.
Irrespective of the outcome, 2012 was a year of progress for David Moyes and his men.
Whatever the result here, the Toffees were already certain to record their highest tally of league points in a calendar year since the Premier League began, while their eventual tally of 68 was bettered only by Chelsea, champions Manchester City and current Premier League leaders Manchester United.
Had they avoided defeat, Moyes' charges would have equalled their post-war record for the fewest league defeats in a year, underlining just how impressive the past 12 months have been.
As it happened, Moyes was dealt a major blow in the build-up to the game as neither captain Phil Neville nor midfielder Darron Gibson were deemed fit enough to feature. Forced to make two changes to the side which ground out a 2-1 win over Wigan on Boxing Day, he opted to bolster his defence with John Heitinga and throw Steven Naismith into midfield.
With the injured Seamus Coleman and suspended Marouane Fellaini also absent, it was something of a patchwork Everton and not the full strength unit Moyes would ideally have sent into battle against the reigning European champions.
Yet, his is a squad that so often seems to grow stronger from adversity and they got off to the perfect start.
Phil Jagielka, deputising as a full-back, burst down the right and crossed deep towards the back post. There, Victor Anichebe outjumped the Spaniard, Cesar Azpilicueta, and when the striker's header came back off the post, Pienaar made no mistake.
The strike was Everton's 65th in the Premier League since Anichebe's first of the year against West Brom last New Year's Day, taking the Blues to their highest total of goals between January and December since the inaugural 1992/93 campaign.
It could have got worse for the shell-shocked visitors seven minutes later. Gary Cahill was punished for bringing down Pienaar 25 yards from goal and, with Cech rooted to his line, Nikica Jelavic saw the resulting free-kick cannon off the outside of the post.
The warning served to rouse the visitors from their slumber but while they began to look more like a side who came into the clash on a three-game winning streak, it was Everton - themselves unbeaten in seven - who again went close to extending their lead.
Pienaar was proving instrumental in all the host's early running and his nonchalant, brilliant backheel again set Jagielka free down the right. The England man hooked his centre low back towards the edge of the box, finding international teammate Leon Osman. Meeting the ball first time, the midfielder's shot lacked nothing in power but found the diving hand of Cech when any other path would surely have led to him doubling his side's lead.
It proved key as, four minutes before the break, Chelsea levelled. Ramires crossed from the right and there was Lampard, ideally placed to head Goodison into a quiet hush.
An animated, full-kitted half-time warm-up for goalkeeper Ross Turnbull suggested he was being readied for action, and, sure enough, the 27-year-old former Middlesbrough stopper was a surprise second-half replacement for Cech.
Shooting towards the Glwadys Street, Everton again made a spritely start but failed to muster an early test for the subsitute. They may have paid when David Luiz, once again being deployed in midfield, scooped the ball over the Blues' backline, only to see it squirm away from the flat-footed Torres. When the Spaniard did get a shot off shortly after he was expertly denied by Howard and then flagged offside.
If Everton had been unfortunate to go in level, they channelled their frustration into keeping their visitors pegged back. It worked and it wouldn't have been undeserved had they restored their lead on 68 minutes. Instead, Jelavic was denied by the woodwork a second time, his diving header from Pienaar's cross beating Turnbull but crashing back off the bar.
Worse, Chelsea's response was to go and nick the game and it was Lampard, perhaps incentivised by rumours surrounding his future, who doubled his and his employers' lead.
Howard did excellently to keep out Juan Mata's initial close-range effort but there was little the American could do to stop Lampard swooping in and lifting the ball high into the roof of his net.
Moyes sent on Apostolos Vellios, Ross Barkley and Bryan Oviedo in quick succession in a bid to force a comeback but, try as they did, there was simply no way past Chelsea or Turnbull.
A disappointing end to the year, Moyes, no doubt, will be more concerned with the bigger picture.

Insurance Broker Turned Convict Gets Equitable Distribution, Pays Child Support
Cabral v Cabral
2011 NY Slip Op 06242
Decided on August 16, 2011
Appellate Division, Second Department
Husband was an insurance broker before going to prison and losing his insurance license. Wife took over the business and when husband got out of prison, wife refused to let him work there in any capacity. He retained a much lower-paying job. Husband sued for divorce, and wife failed to comply with discovery, resulting in her being precluded from presenting evidence regarding equitable distribution. The supreme court imputed income to husband, awarded wife child support,and failed to award husband any portion of wife's pension.
The Second Department reversed. The lower court erred in failing to include wife's income from the insurance agency in either income or assets, thereby shielding her from equitable distribution and rewarding her for discovery noncompliance. The lower court improperly omitted wife's income from the calculation of child support and from the apportionment of debt. The lower court should have distributed the portion of wife's pension that accrued prior to commencement of the action. Since there was no evidence demonstrating that husband could obtain employment approaching the salary he made as an insurance broker, the court erred in imputing to him a salary of $85,000 in calculating child support.

A bouquet of flowers,
Or the calm of the woods
I felt one eyed willy in my rib
In an instant you became the minute man
In my midwinter dream
I smile and then I kiss your neck
As you whisper, honey "I hope you're not upset.
Darn! I am so ashamed of this one minute man.
I still love you. Happy Birthday

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Governor Scott Walker says he no longer has a target date for announcing whether he'll or approve or reject the proposed Kenosha casino.
The Republican Walker reaffirmed Friday what he told reporters in Wausau on Tuesday -- that he's no longer in a hurry to make up his mind on the $800 million Menominee Indian-Hard Rock casino and resort.
Friday, Walker told reporters in Madison that he's trying to balance some compelling and competing arguments about the need for jobs in the Kenosha region, and the potential job losses in other counties where other casinos fear a loss in revenues from a Kenosha gaming house.
Walker says he legally has plenty of time to make a decision, after the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs gave its blessing to the Kenosha casino a couple months ago.
The governor said Washington took years to consider the project, so there's no need for him to hurry either.
