Festo Introduces the VZWP - An up to 40 Bar Servo Controlled Solenoid Valve for Water, Air, and Neutral Media Process Applications
The Festo solenoid valve VZWP features a piston seal instead of a diaphragm seal and a maximum operating pressure of 40 bar, an ideal universal process valve for water, air, and neutral media. Bottling (secondary circuit), irrigation, well engineering, sanitary engineering, water treatment, and mixing plants, pipeline construction, and pneumatic automation systems are ideal choices for the process valve.
Hauppauge, NY March 07, 2013
(March 4, 2013) - The new Festo solenoid valve VZWP, which features a piston seal instead of a diaphragm seal and a maximum operation pressure of 40 bar, is an ideal universal process valve for water, air, and neutral media.
The use of a sealing piston instead of a diaphragm means that even high pressures can be controlled with a large nominal diameter. The valve closes automatically if power is lost.
The valve can be operated wherever there is a pressure difference between the valve input and output. This includes applications where the medium is expelled into the open air or flows into an unpressurized container downstream of the valves. The VZWP is used for gaseous and liquid material flows up to a viscosity of maximum 22 mm²/s in factory and process automation.
The VZWP are 2/2-way valves, normally closed and are piloted piston poppet valves. Units are made of brass valves and customers have a choice of nitrile rubber and fluoro elastomer seals. The valves come with either NPT or G threads. Units should preferably be mounted with the coil on top. Sizes range from 1/2 to 1 inch. Operating pressure is from .5-40 bar. Process valve nominal pressure is PN 40. Differential pressure is .5 Bar.
Applications for the VZWP include: Bottling plants (secondary circuit), irrigation plants, well engineering, sanitary engineering, water treatment, mixing plants, pipeline construction, and pneumatic automation systems.
"To our process valve offerings, including ball, butterfly, and gate valves, Festo has now added gas and liquid valve solutions," said Craig Correia, process industry segment manager, Festo. "These process valves provide OEMs and end users with a new one-stop-shop for both process and discrete automation solutions from Festo, one of the most respected automation suppliers in the world."
For more information about the VZWP and other new VZ gas and liquid valves, call Festo at 800-993-3786 and visit http://www.festo.com/us.

Car commute is bad for mental healthLast updated at 12:01AM, September 13 2014
Leaving the car and cycling or walking to work makes people feel happier, better able to concentrate and under less strain
The most dangerous junction in Britain, as identified by Times readers, is to be ripped up and redesigned to make it safer for cyclists, pedestrians and drivers.
When The Times's Cities Fit for Cycling campaign asked readers to nominate the most perilous stretches of road in the country, the notorious northern roundabout at Elephant and Castle in south London was repeatedly named as an accident black spot.
One reader, Tom Peacock, said that using the roundabout was like "playing Russian Roulette" while Mike Steuart wrote: "This is a suicide run. Confusing for cars, a nightmare for bikes".
The Elephant and Castle area has the highest collision rates for cycling and one of the worst fatality records of any location in Greater London, according to the London Cycling Campaign (LCC).
Transport for London (TfL) has now unveiled £25 million plans to close off and pedestrianise one side of the roundabout and redirect traffic round a two-way road, which will be fitted with partly segregated cycle lanes.
Subways will be replaced with wide pedestrian crossings and the centre of the old roundabout will now become a peninsular accessible on foot and usable as a public space.
Plans will be subject to further safety audits, but work is expected to begin on the redesign in late spring 2015 and to be completed by the summer of 2016. Consultation is due to start this summer on uses for the new public space.
It comes as part of a £300 million plan to rebuild 33 of the most dangerous junctions in the capital at sites where more than 150 cyclists and pedestrians have been killed or seriously injured in the past three years.
A new north-south cycle superhighway in the capital, set to open in 2016, will start at Elephant and Castle and run to King's Cross.
The LCC has warned that the proposed design will not be able to cope with the anticipated numbers of cyclists who will want to use the route. A spokesman said that Transport for London should consider replacing a lane of motor traffic with wider cycling facilities to minimise danger at key intersections.
The cycle routes around the new junction will not be continuous, raising concerns that cyclists will still be at risk on the sections where there is no provision.
TfL has said they will consider improvements to the design to address concerns.
A TfL consultation document states: "The proposed works at Elephant & Castle should reduce the impact traffic has on the area, by making it more attractive and balancing the needs of motorists with those of pedestrians and cyclists. It is anticipated that accidents will fall by 33 per cent after the changes have been implemented."
Journeys through the junction will now take slightly longer, but TfL said this disadvantage was balanced by the safety improvements.
The current layout is described by the London Cyclist website as: "A wind-swept, multi-lane roundabout, with five arms, some one-way, some not, and each with as many as four lanes of traffic in each direction."

Arizona Diamondbacks
Gerardo Parra's Arizona Diamondbacks career: By the Numbers
The Arizona Diamondbacks traded outfielder Gerardo Parra to the Milwaukee Brewers Thursday, ending the left-hander's six-year run with the team.
Parra was around for some of the worst seasons the team has had as well as one of the best. And though it seemed like the team was always looking to replace him in the lineup, he always seemed to be on the field making plays.
Here's a look at Parra's time with the D-backs, by the numbers:
Parra won two Gold Glove Awards as a Diamondback. He received the first for his work in left field in 2011, and the second for the job he did in right field in 2013.
Parra's defensive WAR (wins above replacement) in 2013, which is the best single-season mark in franchise history.
Parra's 787 games played for the D-backs places him fifth on the team's all-time list behind only Luis Gonzalez (1,194), Chris Young (885), Miguel Montero (865) and Steve Finley (849).
The outfielder was charged with just 26 errors in 728 games.
Parra was caught stealing 32 times, with 24 of them coming in the last three seasons. Conversely, he stole just 51 bases.
Though he spent most of his time with the team as a corner outfielder, Parra hit just 39 home runs.
Parra was credited with 62 assists as a Diamondback, as people were slow to realize that challenging his arm may not be a good idea. His totals of 12 in 2011, 2013 in 2013 and eight in 2014 ranked first in baseball among outfielders.
Parra's fielding percentage in Arizona was .983.
$4.85 million
Parra's salary this season was fairly reasonable, but he will be eligible for arbitration this winter and could be in line for a substantial raise.

'3rd Rock from the Sun,' besides being viewed as too darn silly by some, may be slagged for being too raunchy by others. But if you're looking for a daffy acting delight, check out John Lithgow's marvelously unhinged performance as Commander Dick. [9 Jan 1996]
Goofy and good-hearted, '3rd Rock' winks at the human condition. [8 Jan 1996]
No one will mistake this for cutting-edge comedy but it is well-cast (especially Lithgow) and good-natured enough to please most viewers. [8 Jan 1996]
'Rock' is loud, raucous, silly, sentimental and, just often enough to keep you watching, flat-out funny. It's not a great show, but it's different and it dares to aim for wild laughter instead of mild amusement. [9 Jan 1996]
Relax and go with the goofiness and you could have a good time. [9 Jan 1996]
Moliere it's not, but somehow it works as a sort of energized hybrid of "The Beverly Hillbillies," "Mork & Mindy" and those "Coneheads" sketches Curtin spent so much time in while she was with SNL. [7 Jan 1996]
At best, and most, 3rd Rock might catch on as the silliest of guilty pleasures, a Benny Hill burlesque where the leering material is enlivened by some outstanding physical comedy. ... When goofy, 3rd Rock rolls. When dirty, it's stone-cold bad. [9 Jan 1996]
Well, the show is certainly wacky, but I didn't get a good laugh until the third episode I previewed. [9 Jan 1996]
Laughs rarely equal the sum of the gimmickry in "3rd Rock." ... Yet the first three episodes do have their amusing moments. [9 Jan 1996]
Erratic but promising ... So far the series lacks the sharp writing to match its actors' unflappable delivery and deft physical comedy. [9 Jan 1996]
Once it gets past a fixation on breast jokes (I counted nine in the premiere but only five in next week's episode) its talented cast and clever writing could make it a diverting, screwball sitcom. [9 Jan 1996]
Barely a minute goes by in this new NBC sitcom ... without another gratuitous breast reference, as though the word itself is a riot. It's too bad, because if you can get past the sense that somebody wrote much of this with a Victoria's Secret catalog close at hand, there's actually a charming and perceptive comedy lurking inside, a neat counterpoint to all those series about urbanites on the make. [9 Jan 1996]
Jun 19, 2013Though Rock can feel heavy and static, jammed with too many dumb jokes about body parts, it is capable of showing a quirky bounce now and again, which is a quality one hopes will be developed as the series establishes itself. [8 Jan 1996]
The level of the writing ranges from juvenile... to fairly clever, but the performers are what really enliven '3rd Rock.' ... The cast is just right. The concept, though nothing new, fits just fine. I'd love to recommend this show unreservedly but until its scripts improve a notch, it's more like an extended sketch. [7 Jan 1996]
Jun 19, 2013[The] cast generally rises above the material, with Lithgow a sort of cross between Steve Martin and Matt Frewer, and tall, raspy-voiced Johnston a real find. Curtin is fine, but somewhat wasted as an uptight professor. [9 Jan 1996]
Third Rock's creators, veteran Saturday Night Live writers Bonnie and Terry Turner, have described the show as "Carl Sagan meets the Marx Brothers." In reality, it's Maude meets Mork & Mindy.
I counted 14 breast and genital jokes in the three episodes of 3d Rock From the Sun sent out to critics. Some of them (the jokes, that is) seemingly went on for hours. Most would make even a mature 13-year-old cringe. [9 Jan 1996]
It's a pity the writers and producers suffer so badly from groin lock, because the show has promise, mainly in the person of John Lithgow. [9 Jan 1996]
While not the most stupid thing on the air, it borders on stupidity. [8 Jan 1996]
'Rock' is little more than one big sophomoric sex joke. ... All of this is doubly disappointing because it's such a waste of talent. [9 Jan 1996]
The show ought to be more than a sophomoric aliens-meet-humans smutcom. It should be an advancement on My Favorite Martian and Mork & Mindy. But it's not. [9 Jan 1996]
The humor of "3rd Rock" is of I-can't-believe-how-bad-this-is quality. [9 Jan 1996]
Jun 11, 2013How sad to see John Lithgow making insipid jokes on 3rd Rock From The Sun.
It's hard to figure where the makers of "Third Rock" believe they went right. The humor never rises above high-school-lunchroom level, and even then it's not over-the-top enough to make it very appealing. The actors are talented enough -- Lithgow and Curtin certainly have nothing left to prove, and Gordon-Levitt seems to be that rarest of finds, a young actor who knows about timing. What they're doing in this mess is one of those questions for the ages. [9 Jan 1996]

Mar 23, 2012A classic 90's sitcom that is indisputably out of this world. '3rd Rock from the Sun' is quite funny which is everything you ever desire from a television comedy and the first season does not disappoint for the most part. The storylines are fun and lighthearted and each of the regular and recurring characters are introduced at a style and pace which doesn't saturate the home viewers. The gags themselves aren't for everybody though; some viewers might even be put off by the basic jokes which aren't exactly new but are still comical.… Full Review »

Lewis and Clark Statute eliminates York, a black man, who was a vital member of the expedition.
This statue of Lewis and Clark in St. Charles, Missouri, eliminates the black man, York, the servant of Clark, a vital member of the expedition, and substitutes a dog instead, as pictured.
(The NorthStar News & Analysis)
This is an historical tort against national and Missouri black history. It defames "Big Medicine's" memory, as well as his documented, invaluable contributions to the success of that expedition! That name, "Big Medicine" was bestowed upon York by the awestruck Indians who thought he was the leader of the expedition and who respected his strength, agility, blackness (which to them symbolized power and dominion) and 'hair like a bison.'
I do not even recall a dog being mentioned in the Journals of Lewis and Clark at all, when I perused them for references to York. This is a deliberate omission and an insult against blacks in America and Missouri! When blacks sleep on their history this is what happens!

All Whites football striker Chris Wood has completed a loan move to English Championship side Millwall until November 20.
The London club last week signalled their intent to boost attacking stocks with the 20-year-old Kiwi, and the paperwork was completed overnight.
It is the fifth time Wood has been loaned out from English Premier League club West Bromwich Albion as he continues to miss out on first team action at the Midlands club.
Wood has agreed to a switch to The Den until November 20, though West Brom can recall him after the first 28 days.
Wood, who scored a hat-trick against Millwall while on loan at Birmingham City last season, is available for tomorrow morning's (NZT) visit of Cardiff.
''I'm not in the first-team picture at West Brom so I'm dying to start playing regular football again,'' Wood told the Millwall club website, having returned to England following the All Whites' two Oceania World Cup qualifiers last week.
''In January I will give some thought to my longer-term future, but for now I'm just looking forward to playing for Millwall and hopefully scoring some goals.''
Meanwhile, Queens Park Rangers boss Mark Hughes has paid tribute to All Whites captain Ryan Nelsen after the veteran defender's ''dominant'' performance over Spain striker Fernando Torres during their 0-0 draw with Chelsea on Sunday (NZT).
Nelsen had just one training session with QPR, having played in New Zealand's 6-1 World Cup qualifying win over the Solomon Islands in Auckland last Tuesday.
Hughes was not surprised by Nelsen's performance, saying his only regret was that the defender was not 10 years younger.
''Ryan was excellent. You know what you're going to get from him, a consistent level of performance," Hughes told reporters in England.
''He's gone up against a striker of world renown [Torres] and really dominated him. Given the week that he's had it's really a credit to him.
''I had to make sure he was fit and well and ready for Premier League games. He came back from the Olympics so I had to be careful. Once he had a couple of weeks training I knew he was ready."

Erin Brockovich Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
The film lacks focus and energy, the character development is facile and thin, and what about those necklines?
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
Dark Horizons
Full Review | Original Score: 5/10
Sacramento News & Review
The film never builds any dramatic momentum.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/5

Palo Alto Weekly
Erin Brockovich strikes out.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A feel good, old-fashioned (except for all the cuss words), liberal message movie for the people ...
Full Review | Original Score: C+
New York Times
Not only is every plot development signaled far in advance, but nearly every scene in the film's long second section rings a variation of one of two themes: 1) Julia Roberts tells somebody off, or 2) Julia Roberts feels somebody's pain.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Mr. Showbiz
Before long, the character simply becomes irritating.
New Times
It's the first Steven Soderbergh film to smack of work for hire.
Matinee Magazine
It is not a movie, but a collection of scenes that serve one purpose only: to justify Julia Roberts as a movie star.
Full Review | Original Score: F
Film Blather
The movie gets bogged down in a trite legal plot.
Full Review | Original Score: 7/10
Archive Review -- I'd probably rate it much higher now.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
A feel-good film with all the numbing predictability movie-goers seem to demand.
Full Review | Original Score: 6/10
It's not that this is lousy entertainment, it's just that it's a Serious Topic given unnecessary Celebrity Sheen.
Nitrate Online
Remember Michelle Pfeiffer in Frankie and Johnny, how ridiculously unresilient she looked in her waitress uniform? Erin is no more believable.
One Guy's Opinion
Erin Brockovich is pretty pat and predictable stuff.
Full Review | Original Score: C
The film exploits Julia Roberts' role as a 'pretty woman,' whose prettiness is toyed with by the awful --yet eye-catching-- clothes she wears, and which glamorizes the character's less exciting qualities that drive the story.
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Ultimately the story seems rather slight.

[quote:Vesper33:MV8xNDk0NTg4XzM0MzQzOTA0X0QyQzkyQ0ZG] [quote:Tauranga:MV8xNDk0NTg4XzM0MzQzMjU2XzRERTU1Njc3] [quote:Vesper33:MV8xNDk0NTg4XzM0MzQyNTcwXzJCNDNFMDIw] [quote:Mahala:MV8xNDk0NTg4XzM0MzM0NzUyXzYzQjRCNDJD] Has anyone have any different type of ringing in their ears? I woke up this morning with a wooshing sound. Sorta like a wirlwind going through my ears. Now that's a first for me. I usually have some type of noise, but not a wooshing noise. Like it's going in circles. I usually don't make much out of it, but this one was definitely different. Even made mention to my daughter when she called this morning. [/quote] I don't know if this has anything to do with anything, but I have had the worst head pressure the last couple hours than ever before. I have taken Sudafed & Tylenol and nothing helps. It came on sudden and hard, never had that before. One more funny thing...... My oldest son had two nightmares (for lack of a better word) last night. He said he felt someone in his room when he woke up in the night to the point where he reflexively kicked out (black belt kempo). He went back to sleep and several hours later felt the most horrible negative presence he had ever felt. He got up, turned on the lights, and checked the house out. Now this son does not scare, he is 28 yrs. old, 6'5 about 240lbs, and is an attorney so logic rules his life, but multiple assailant fighting is his passion. He is a very interesting fellow, intense, but has the most profound sense of fairness and ethics. His eyes turn a creepy yellow when he is angry, but he would pick up spiders and put them outside rather than kill them. We used to call him an Archangel when he was a little younger because one could see the pure goodness in him, but also the destructor part too. Lol. My point is, whatever was in his room must of decided to leave. Still freaks me out some thou, because something is just not right lately. [/quote] hiya sis wow, that is freaky... does your house 'feel' fine now tho, has that energy completely gone? [/quote] Hey Tauranga :hi: The energy is gone from what I can tell so far. We had an issue in another house about 10 years ago that was real bad, but nothing since then. That house was really old thou, and had had people die there that we did not know about at the time. Anyway, this house was built in 2005 and we have been here a couple years with no problems. I guess that is why it was a little un-nerving because it was so sudden. I don't mean to sound weird, but sometimes I think when energies are released from the earth or are incoming from solar issues that it can stir up certain things. Lol. Sorry, not sure how to explain, but it is why I posted here. So much going on energy earth wise so I connected the two. Silly me! :) (All apologies ElQ for going off topic) [/quote]
Original Message
I will be posting the signals I see on ELF here. I will post with intensity of each signal seen on the ELF range. I will post intensity using the Seismic scale from 1 to 10 Magnitudes. Be aware that once the signal comes in on ELF it can take from 1 hour and 40 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes for the quake to be seen on USGS sites. These signals come in on ELF about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before they actually impact what ever region their epicenters are. Then it takes USGS sites about 30 minutes to display.
The signals I pay attention to are in the 1 Hz to 10 Hz frequencies. Those are almost always Seismic.
I will be doing this when I am in front of my computer, not all the time so be aware that I will not be able to catch them all.
These ELF signals give approximately a 2 hour window to work and figure out epicenter. That is another task I will take on in the future. It is the hardest part of Earthquake prediction.
This is an addition I added to a thread about Elenin;
Be weary next 3 hours, have plan prepared for some possible shaking. Getting some unusual readings on ELF. Not sure if it will impact Japan region but better to be safe than sorry. Keep your mind focused and aware that Japan might be getting some seismic activity headed that way. This one might be 5+ if I am not mistaken. No panic just keep your senses on alert status.
The unusual activity I heard were 18 very intense thumps. In the 1Hz to 10Hz frequency. Could be seismic.
Then these quakes occurred;

Two men accused of kidnap and robbery in Petts Wood after an alleged carjacking will appear at Croydon Crown Court later this month.
David Moody, 40, of Godstow Road, Greenwich, and Danny Crawley, 33, from Sutton, are accused of kidnapping Charles Warr in Station Square on October 30 last year.
Both are also accused of robbing the victim of a £75,000 Aston Martin Vantage car, a Rolex watch and £100 cash.
Police were first alerted to the crime on the night of October 30 by a witness who called to say they had seen a carjacking.
Police say the victim reported being driven around south London before he eventually managed to escape in Thamesmead.
An appeal was launched to identify a man who was captured on CCTV in the BP garage in Perry Street, Chislehurst.
Moody and Crawley will appear at Croydon Crown Court on March 18.

'Star Wars: Episode VII' Adds Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca (Exclusive)
The actor, who played the Wookiee in the original trilogy, will reprise his role in Disney and Lucasfilm's sequel.
The trio of new leads for Star Wars: Episode VII has yet to be revealed, but an actor from the original franchise is returning to reprise his role.
Peter Mayhew will play Chewbacca for Disney and Lucasfilm's upcoming sequel, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
PHOTOS: 'Star Wars' Actors: Then and Now
Mayhew played the legendary Wookiee and Han Solo's co-pilot in the original trilogy, beginning with Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope in 1977. Rumors recently surfaced that he was reprising his role after he canceled an upcoming appearance at Texas convention Comicpalooza "due to filming." Since the convention takes place May 23-26, many fans wondered if that meant the actor would be busy with Episode VII.
Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn revealed on April 2 that the new Star Wars had already begun filming and most of the cast was set. "We have a lot of them [in place]," he said about the main actors, whose names have not been disclosed. "We're just not completely done yet."
VIDEO: Disney Chief Reveals 'Star Wars: VII' Casting Almost Complete, Says Film Is Already Shooting
Star Wars: Episode VII, to be directed by J.J. Abrams and slated to hit theaters Dec. 18, 2015, has been shrouded in a thick veil of secrecy, with dozens of names flying through the rumor mill for months now. THR reported that Adam Driver will be playing an undisclosed villain. Original stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher also are said to be reprising their roles.
In March, Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger said the new project would begin filming in May and will be set 30 years after the events in 1983's Return of the Jedi. "There will be some very familiar faces along with a trio of new young leads," he said during Disney's annual shareholder's meeting in Portland, Ore.
Mayhew, who also played Chewbacca in prequel film Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, has mainly spent his career playing the iconic character, but also appeared in the horror film Terror and did voice work in the British version of Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy. He's repped by Entertainment Legends Management and Cohen & Gardner.
Disney and Lucasfilm had no comment.

Baseball in Portland?
Jack Bogdanski's blogging about the possibility that a major league baseball team may yet again be looking at Portland.
The debate over whether Portland should have major league baseball is heating up again, with news that the owners of the Florida Marlins team (halfway decent, National League East) are saying that they would like a new home.
When last we left this saga, the State of Oregon had enacted a financing package whereby the state would put up around $115 million, paid for out of income taxes on the players' salaries, toward a new public stadium in Portland. About another $235 million would be needed, and the city and local baseball fans have roughed out a financing plan that would come up with the rest out of a 10 percent ticket tax, special licensing fees on businesses within the stadium district, a tax on stadium concessions, a reallocation of the some of the local hotel tax, rent paid by the team on the stadium, and some assorted additional odds and ends.
Read the rest over at bojack.org and discuss over there.

Iran is secretly flying surveillance drones over Iraq and sending military equipment there to help Baghdad in its fight against Sunni insurgents, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
A "small fleet" of Ababil drones was deployed to the Al Rashid airfield near Baghdad, the newspaper said on its website, citing anonymous U.S. officials.
Tehran has also installed an intelligence unit at the airfield to intercept electronic communications between ISIS fighters and commanders.
Ababil drones, less sophisticated than U.S. unmanned aircraft, are designed in Iran and have a nearly 10-foot (three-meter) wingspan. They are used for surveillance and are unarmed.
About a dozen officers of Iran's paramilitary Quds Force, have also been sent to Iraq to advise Iraqi commanders and help mobilize Shiite militias in the south of the country, the paper said, adding that Iran's Gen. Qassem Suleimani recently made two trips to Iraq.
Iran is also sending two flights daily to Baghdad with 70 tons each of military equipment and supplies.
"It's a substantial amount" of material, a U.S. official told the newspaper. "It's not necessarily heavy weaponry, but it's not just light arms and ammunition."
Tehran has massed 10 divisions of its army and its Quds Force troops along the border, ready to act if the Iraqi capital or Shiite shrines are threatened, The New York Times added.
Asked at a briefing, US State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said she "can't confirm the specifics in those reports."
But she said "anyone in the region shouldn't do anything that might exacerbate sectarian divisions, that would fuel extremism inside Iraq."
The United States has for two weeks said Iranian aid for the Iraq crisis should be done in a nonsectarian way — by pressuring the Iraqi government to adopt a national unity government and not fuel the Sunni and Shiite conflict.
We "believe Iran could play a constructive role if it's helping to send the same message to the Iraqi government that we're sending," Harf said.
A lightning offensive by Sunni insurgents led by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has overrun swathes of land north and west of Baghdad this month and threatens to tear the country apart.
The United Nations says at least 1,075 people have been killed, an estimated three quarters of them civilians, and 658 wounded in Iraq between June 5 and 22. Hundreds of thousands more have been displaced.

TABLE-Greek February retail sales fall 14.4 pct y/y
ATHENS, April 30 (Reuters) - Greek retail sales by volume slumped by 14.4 percent year-on-year in February after a revised 16.8 percent drop in the previous month, statistics service ELSTAT said on Tuesday. Austerity measures imposed by the debt-laden country's foreign lenders and record unemployment have hurt private consumption, the main driver of its economy. Retail sales by volume dropped 12 percent in 2012, bringing total contraction in 2009-2012 to 34 percent. ********************************************************* KEY FIGURES FEB JAN DEC NOV Retail sales* by volume (y/y) -14.4 -16.8** -8.3 -16.7 Retail sales* by revenue (y/y) -14.4 -16.6** -7.8 -16.5 ---------------------------------------------------- * Includes fuels and auto lubricants ** revised source: ELSTAT

Early in my nursing career, I always felt privileged when I cared for a potential organ donor. That work led me to a career in the donation and transplantation field. Now, I'm the CEO of an organ procurement organization and president of the national association that represents all organ procurement organizations. The opportunity to work with donor families and transplant recipients still inspires me.
Unfortunately, I believe the author of your article only added to the confusion about deceased organ donation. The Uniform Determination of Death Act defined death, in 1981, as the irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory function, or irreversible cessation of all functions of the brain including the brainstem. The essential bodily function of breathing depends on signals from the brain, which are no longer present when brain death occurs. While mechanical ventilation causes the rise and fall of the chest and supports some rudimentary functioning of the body, it doesn't change death.
I'd also like to point out that the number of people willing to say "yes" to donation has been growing steadily. Approximately 78.5 million Americans are registered as organ and tissue donors on their state donor registries. The Organ Donation Breakthrough Collaborative led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services shows that from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008, more than 70% of those eligible to donate their organs did so.1
In October 2008, the national waiting list in the United States topped 100,000 candidates for the first time.2 A single organ donor can save the lives of up to eight people if his heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas, and intestines are all transplanted. I believe that organ and tissue donation is a natural extension of nursing's foundation to do good and to avoid doing harm.

Couture champagne for millennium parties
Bubbly makers are bringing in fashion's leading lights to give their products a new look
Sunday 15 August 1999
Pommery led the way four years ago by commissioning a series of designers, including Ines de la Fressange and Givenchy designer Alexander McQueen. Christian Lacroix, part of LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy) designed this year's champagne "bottle wrap" for Pommery.
The wrap, a silvery bag with a blue leather base and matching straps, has been designed to hold a magnum of champagne. The Christian Lacroix insignia sets it off at the top of the bag.
Groupe Marne et Champagne, the world's second-largest champagne maker, called on Paco Rabanne to come up with a bottle encased in chain mail for its Lanson champagne.
The designer recently attracted mixed attention for predicting the end of the world and that Russia's Mir space station would crash into Paris during the solar eclipse.
Now, Jean-Paul Gaultier has created a corset cover in red vinyl for Remy Cointreau, brought together at the front with flat lace. The bottle was designed for a new Piper Heidsieck champagne, "Rare", and will sell for 600 francs (pounds 60) in nightclubs and specialty liquor stores.
"It's the most exciting bottle ever realised for champagne," said Vincent Duhem, Piper Heidsieck's product manager.
Marne et Champagne is hoping Paco Rabanne will spice up its Lanson brand, and Vranken Monopole hired an outside consultant in Paris to design new shapes and labels for its bottles.
"It makes sense to have an alliance between a quality product such as champagne - the most luxurious wine in the world - and with fashion," said Francoise Peretti, director of the Champagne Information Bureau in London. "Champagne represents the ultimate lifestyle - a wine people aspire to drink - and fashion has a very strong link with lifestyle," he added.
The changes come as champagne makers benefit from early demand for millennium parties, especially from abroad.
Exports were up 23 per cent at the end of May, with shipments to the United States booming 92 per cent up, according to industry trade group Interprofessional Committee of Champagne Wines, which represents the 120 champagne houses and 15,000 growers in France.
Piper Heidsieck sales last year totalled FFr565m, adding to the FFr137m of its Charles Heidsieck brand, whose more serious image contrasts with Piper's party style.
Company officials declined to estimate how many cases of Rare they expect to sell.
Not everyone feels a need to hire designers. "We consider that we have a prestigious brand and don't need to associate with a designer to make this point," said Jean-Baptiste Maugars, marketing director at Moet & Chandon, another LVMH unit.
Vranken Monopole, maker of the Charles Lafitte and Heidsieck brands, hired a Paris-based communications company to enliven the look of its champagne.
Vranken, which went public last year, has unveiled five champagnes specifically for the year 2000, including "Cuvee 21", its "haute couture" 2000 presentation. The long-necked bottle has a gold ring and crest plate, carried in a velvety blue bag with gold imprints enlaced in a golden cord.
The five vintages, which range from $20 to $60, will retail throughout 2000. "We've positioned the brands toward every segment to appeal to all social classes," said Virginie Martin, a marketing executive at Vranken Monopole.
Millennium hopes are also doing good things for share prices: LVMH, which fell out of favour with some investors last year because of the recession in Asia, is the second-biggest gainer in the benchmark CAC 40 index, its shares up 79 per cent this year. Remy Cointreau and Vranken each have risen about 10 per cent in six months.
Some companies are hoping that the new designs will stick beyond the new year and into the next millennium.

Fewer car thefts doesn't mean cheaper insurance
When it comes to insurance, nearly a third of all car owners pay nothing because they have no theft coverage, and those who do, pay very little.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Toronto's dramatic decline in car theft will not likely translate into cheaper car insurance, drivers may be sad to learn.
Diligent police work and new anti-theft devices have cut thefts by half, or about 9,800 cars per year in the Greater Toronto Area, as the Toronto Star's Curtis Rush reported April 18.
But, when it comes to insurance, nearly a third of all car owners already pay nothing because they have no theft coverage, and those who do, pay very little for it.
The average premium for what's called comprehensive coverage — for everything from theft to broken glass — was only $107 per car in Toronto, Peel and southern York regions in 2010, down from $134 in 2006.
This compared with a total average premium of $1,877 per car in the Toronto area in 2010, according to the General Insurance Statistical Agency.
Yet, as high as those premiums were, insurers reported paying $643 more per car for injury accident benefits than the $755 they collected from premiums.
This left a staggering gap of $1.22 billion, enough to buy 40,700 cars at $30,000 each.
It's still unknown whether changes to auto insurance and other measures implemented starting Sept. 1, 2010 — including a $3,500 cap on treatment of most minor injuries — will close that gap.
Bryan Yetman, former president of the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario, said "the real challenge is eliminating fraud in injury-related claims. If that can be done it would have a much more significant impact on insurance rates in Ontario. Everyone can take an active role in stopping that if they know someone who is committing insurance fraud."
According to Joel Baker, president of MSA Research Inc., a Toronto-based insurance industry analyst, "insurers are still justifiably wary (about reducing premiums) as there are still major uncertainties about trends in the Ontario auto insurance market.
"Accident benefit claims dropped in 2011, but third-party liability bodily injury claims are on the rise. In addition, there is concern about whatever the regulatory definition of catastrophic impairment will be, among other things."
The provincial government is considering whether to change the definition of an injury so catastrophic that a person should be eligible for up to $1 million of accident benefit coverage.
The limit for less severe injuries can be $50,000, $100,000 or $1 million, depending on the option chosen by the driver.
The Financial Services Commission of Ontario announced recently that it had approved an application by Co-operators General Insurance Co. of Guelph to reduce rates for policies renewed after March 26 by a province-wide average of 1.94 per cent, and after April 15 by 4.46 per cent. Eight other insurers were to reduce rates by less than 1 per cent, while five others increased rates.

text: I hope I visited this self-proclaimed Swiss cuisine restaurant on an off-day. The interior looks like a compilation of left-overs from various belgian Swiss Tourist Bureau "do's". Unfortunately the background music does in no way whatsoever reflect anything Swiss, nor does the crew by the way, as the Tannoys just played a local radio station rather than a Swiss station...

106th and Last Lock!
We finished our last locks of the trip! Yahoo!
We stayed at the Troy public docks and walked the city area. It was hopping with many people beginning their weekend celebrations and lots of outdoor restaurants were full of diners enjoying the warm summer night.
Back to work, your break is over
... rest after our first three in a row back from the lovely break. We hit the ground running and didn't stop until we were at the hotel room. I slept for three hours than went out to the local Wal-Mart for a few small items. After returning back to my room, I chilled out for a bit and went to bed. I can't believe how tired I am.
Today we are in Saratoga Springs, NY. ...

Wow that was some storm...........
... we begin again. If the specialists we work with repeatedly tell us only they can deliver, it becomes unsustainable and detrimental. That's like only teaching one person how to do the personal care routine with a young person; when they're off sick, does it stop? This could be teacher to TA and vice verse, therapist to educationalist, social carer to therapist, the cycle goes on. I've worked with colleagues that are so 'precious' about their way that only ...

We stopped in Utica Ill for a night and once again experienced severe thunderstorms. Moved on to Nevada Ohio the next night which was thankfully uneventful. The next day we arrived in Geneva Ohio where we spent two nights. Had a lovely lunch in Geneva on Lake Erie. The next stop was Campbell NY in the Finger Lakes Region. Bad weather once again followed us. A tornado touched down less than ...
