If good service and good advice matter to you as much as an excellent mortgage rate then it's vital for you to know about new data from the Financial Conduct Authority. The FCA has published information on which mortgage lenders attract most complaints and which banks and building societies uphold most of these grievances.
Here, we reveal the UK's five worst lenders in terms of mortgage complaints.
According to figures published by the Financial Conduct Authority, Bank of Scotland was the most complained about mortgage provider between July and December last year. The Bank had 15,075 complaints from borrowers during this six-month period - the most complaints for a mortgage provider by roughly 2,750. The data also revealed that the Bank agreed with the complainant in an astonishing 71% of cases.
According to the FCA data, Santander had the second-most complaints at 12,257 and had an uphold rate of 41%, with Nationwide in third at 5,236 complaints. The building society found in the complainant's favour in 64% of cases.
Cheltenham & Gloucester had the worst uphold rate, at 77%, and had 4,676 complaints during the period.
Barclays completed the top five, in terms of mortgage complaint numbers, with 4,503 and found in favour of the customer in 53% of cases.
The FCA data revealed that Barclays was the overall most complained-about financial services firm between July and December 2013, with 309,494 complaints over the period and an uphold rate of 66%.
Lloyds Bank received the second-highest number of complaints at 256,656, with an uphold rate of 80% while MBNA received the third-highest number of complaints at 213,311. Bank of Scotland was the fourth most complained-about firm with 181,353 complaints, followed by NatWest with 175,731.
In total, there were 2.5m complaints against financial services firms between July and December 2013. Payment protection insurance was the most complained-about product, accounting for 1.4m complaints.
Keith Osborne, editor of Whathouse.co.uk, says: "If you're looking for a mortgage then it's easy to chase the very best rate without considering the overall service standards of a lender. These figures name and shame the companies that most people complain about. Considering its relatively modest size in relation to its main rivals, Bank of Scotland's complaint data is pretty damning."

Common geriatric equine diseases (Proceedings)
Older horses are at risk for developing a number of diseases. This lecture will focus on common diseases of older horses including dental disease/weight loss (and other complications of poor dentition), recurrent airway obstruction, lameness and common neoplasms of older horses.
Weight Loss/Dental Disease
Dental Disease:Most geriatric horses have some degree have some dental disease, and some can have severe dental abnormalities.
Periodontal disease=presence of disease and loss of tissue that surround the tooth, which includes the alveolus (bony socket), cement, and gingival. Oral examination reveals gingival hyperemia, edema, and ulceration, deepening of periodontal pockets, and packing feed material. The tooth may be loose.
Diastema=abnormal detectable space between the teeth, that accumulates feed. This results in pain and quidding. Treatment includes daily lavage, removal of sharp enamel points, tooth reduction, and feeding soft feeds or grass.
Malocclusions: can be severe in geriatric horses. Treatment includes reduction of hooks, ramps and steps. Use of power equipment is helpful. Care should be given to prevent thermal injuries. Care must be taken if using molar cutters in older horses.
Smooth mouth: absence of enamel on the occlusal surface of the cheek teeth. As the enamel wears out the dentin and cement are exposed resulting in rapid wear of the teeth.
Dental caries/tooth root abscess
Consequences of Dental Disease: Weight Loss, Choke, Large Colon Impactions
Weight Loss: Most common cause is likely related to poor dentition; chronic intestinal parasitism can be more of a problem in older horses, in addition to other more serious systemic diseases resulting in weight loss.
Recommended Feeding for Older Horses:
There are rations made specifically for geriatric horses that are easier to digest and masticate. Most designed to be "complete feeds", and may be used as a sole ration. They include a combination of roughage, energy concentrates, protein supplementation, and mineral and vitamin supplements. The roughage is usually consists of dehydrated alfalfa meal and/or beat pulp. The energy concentrates include cereal grains (corn, oats, and barley) and fat. The cereal grains in complete feed often undergo heat treatments (extrusion, pelleting) which results in gelatinization and starch molecules (which will increase their availability for digestion and absorption. Hay (if can be tolerated) can be feed to prevent boredom. To note, complete feeds have a significant amount of cereal grains in horses with insulin resistance.
Other options: chopped hay (alfalfa or mixture of high quality grass hay/alfalfa mixture). Chopping hay minimizes the amount of mastication needed. It may increase dust/fine particles (may need to wet the hay). Generally, consumption of 1.5-2% (dry matter) of body weight of forage (grass, hay) is adequate to meet a horse's digestible energy requirements. Ensiled or chopped hay will have a higher moisture content, and it is important to take this into account. It probably necessary to add a vitamin-mineral supplement. Vegetable oil can be added to the diet (1-2 cups/day) if necessary to maintain weight.
Esophageal obstruction: Dental disease resulting in poor mastication can result in esophageal obstruction.
Clinical signs include coughing, retching, bilateral green (food) nasal discharge.
Diagnosis: not difficult; failure to pass NG tube; additional- endoscopy, radiographs (if complicated), blood work (chronic cases), assessment of lungs (aspiration pneumonia)
Treatment: early cases: withhold feed and water, sedation, anti-inflammatory drugs, oxytocin (0.11-0.22 iu/kg iv- caution in mares), broad spectrum antibiotics; more aggressive treatment necessary if not resolved in 4-6 hours: heavy sedation, careful esophageal lavage; in some cases general anesthesia.
Sequella: Recurrence of choke: concerns- stricture #1; further work-up (endoscopy, contrast radiographs); options- could be addressed surgically; life-long gruel diet in some cases
Large Colon Impaction: poor dentition most likely risk factor
Clinical signs: variable- mild-moderate signs of colic, depression, decreased appetite decreased fecal production
Diagnosis: rectal palpation
Treatment: feed restriction, analgesics, administration of oral fluids and laxatives; intravenous fluids if necessary; laxatives include- mineral oil, diocytl sodium succinate 6-12 g/500kg; magnesium sulfate (0.1 mg/kg given in 2-4 L of water)
Recurrent Airway Obstruction
Recurrent airway obstruction (RAO, heaves) is the most common respiratory disorder in geriatric horses. RAO is characterized by bronchospasm, excessive mucous production, and pathologic changes of the bronchiolar walls that result in terminal airway obstruction. Geriatric horses often have more severe clinical signs due to RAO than younger horses. RAO is usually a drug-responsive disorder in middle-aged horses, but as the horse ages, horses are more likely to have permanent pulmonary remodeling and fibrosis.
Clinical signs: flared nostrils, chronic cough, and nasal discharge. Respiratory impairment may range from exercise intolerance to dyspnea at rest. An increase in expiratory effort can be noted. In severe cases tachypnea, weight loss, and a heave line may be present. Auscultation can range from normal to abnormal (expiratory wheezes and in some cases crackles. Horses should be afebrile.
Diagnosis: In most geriatric horses with advanced disease, the diagnosis is based on clinical signs and history. Performing other diagnostic tests (such as a CBC, thoracic ultrasound) can be important to rule out other diseases including bacterial pneumonia or less common diseases (such as neoplasia or interstitial pneumonia). In horses with subtle disease, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) can be helpful to examine cytological samples from the lower airways.
Treatment: The primary goal is prevention of exposure of allergens combined with intermittent medical treatment of the inflammation and bronchocontriction.
Environmental Management: Reduce dust, increase ventilation, change feed (no round bales, wet hay, or avoid hay)
Anti-inflammatory Drugs:
Systemic corticosteroids: indicated with severe/moderate RAO- "Rescue Drugs". Associated with laminitis, immunosuppression and adrenal suppression.
Dexamethasone: drug of choice. 0.02-0.05 mg/kg iv (up to 0.1 mg/kg)- improves clinical signs by day 3 maximal response at day 7. Adrenal suppression 3 days after discontinuation. Usually use for 10-14 days, decreasing dose, alternate day therapy, and orally
Oral prednisone: has been shown not be effective with horses with RAO, and is likely poorly absorbed; Oral prednisolone also has a very short duration.
Use of NSAID and anti-histamines- are not effective
Aerosolized corticosteroids: effective for mild-moderate disease. To note- that in horses there still is adrenal suppression associated with the use of aerosolized steroids (which is not true in humans). There are 3 aerosolized corticosteroid products in metered-dose inhalers, listed in order of potency: fluticasone propionate> beclomethasone dipropionate> fluisolide
Delivered to horses via: Equine AeroMask® (Trudell Medical International , London, Ontario) or Equine Haler® (Equine Healthcare APS, Hillerod Denmark)
Fluticasone: dose 2000 ug SID to BID/adult horse; Glaxo Wellcome Flovent® 220 ug/puff
Beclomethasone dipropionate: improvement in clinical signs within 24 hours; Doses range from 500-1500 ug SID to BID/adult horse; 3M Pharmaceuticals/QVAR® 40-80 ug/puff
Most common are the B2 adrenergic agonist. Down regulation occurs resulting tolerance within 72 hours of use. Combining these drugs with corticosteroids will reduce the tolerance.
Oral Bronchodilators: Clenbuterol (Ventipulmin® ) oral B2; long acting, recommend intermittent dose scheduling to prevent side effects (tachycardia sweating). Terbutaline and albuterol have poor oral bioavailability
Aerosolized Bronchodilators:
Short acting: Albuterol Sulfate: 360-900 ug – "Rescue Drug" improves clinical signs in 5 minutes; can give a dose every 15 minutes for 2 hours; short lived (1 hour); Torpex® (no longer available); Schering Corporation/Proventil 90 ug/puff

Rocker Bruce Springsteen may have been the Boss of our cover (#698, Feb. 28), but his liberal views on Iraq and 9/11 sparked a heated war of words among readers. "I pride myself on the benefits of a good political debate, but seriously, EW is an entertainment magazine," says Sonja M. Johnson of Fayetteville, N.C. Luisa Lawrence of Watertown, Mass., disagrees: "True patriots tell their government's leaders when they are wrong. I thank those celebrities willing to stick their necks out to stop an unjust, unnecessary war." On a less charged note, Boomtown fans were fired up over Bruce Fretts' review of the rookie crime drama. "Hands down Boomtown is the best show on TV right now," says Amanda Burgess- Proctor of Royal Oak, Mich. "Now let's hope that loyal EW readers will stop rotting their brains with reality TV and start tuning in to this truly remarkable program." Sounds like the tribe has spoken.
Bruce Ha-Ha
Kudos to Ken Tucker for drawing amazing responses out of Bruce Springsteen. The Boss' takes on Eminem and Elvis were insightful; his views on George W.'s war with Iraq and tax cuts for the wealthy were politically barbed in the best possible way; his articulation of the need for "replenishment of ideas" while settling into middle age provides words of wisdom for all. Tucker provided the proper palette for Springsteen's colorful answers. Great stuff, guys. CHUCK BAUERLEIN Assistant Professor of Journalism, West Chester U. email@example.com West Chester, Pa.
In the ninth grade after one listen to Born in the U.S.A., I took all the money I made babysitting and hit the record store. I remember picking up Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town and thinking to myself, "This guy has some guts posing for an album cover looking like he just got up." Well Bruce, you still have more guts than anyone in music. God bless you and keep on rocking! SUE CASHION Philadelphia
Now that you felt the need to ask Bruce Springsteen his opinion on Iraq, how about asking J. Lo her opinion on North Korea? Or Anna Nicole Smith on the root causes of Islamic fundamentalism? Like every other citizen, entertainers are entitled to their opinions. But please keep your magazine and the people that you cover devoted to something that they know, like entertainment. ROGER W. PECK email@example.com Long Grove, Ill.
I am a huge Springsteen fan, having seen him play live well over 100 times since 1978. But reading about his feelings of helplessness and despair infuriated me. I lost my job after Sept. 11, and like all too many others, I'm in a dire financial situation. Thanks to the support of fans like myself, Mr. Springsteen is a multimillionaire. Three hours at a Springsteen concert can lift me up, but at the end of the day, I still don't know where next month's mortgage payment is coming from. Spend a day or two in my shoes, Bruce, and then talk to me about despair. SANDRA STRICK New York City

James Blake James BlakeCMYK EP
R&S (RS1003D, digital)
As he says himself, James Blake -not to be confused by the tennis player- is not trying to make you throw shapes on the dancefloor. Instead, he would like you flooded with tears,and to be able to get under your skin with a warm and smoothing sound. He prefers the internal emotion to the physical manifestation of ecstasy, an orientation that, perhaps, could work against him: music that defines itself as soapy, it does so through many clichés easily targeted as ridiculous (Ultravox are still paying the prize of a title like " Dancing With Tears In My Eyes"). But this is not yet the case with Blake: signing of the year by Hessle Audio, occasional collaborator and remixer of Mount Kimbie, the latest bet by the R&S label, and in none of and this could we tag him as arrogant or as looking down on hedonism or rooting himself with the indie cliché of the "emo guy". Actually his music does what it says on the tin: warm high frequencies that get under your skin before reaching the brain. In another words: it has certain quality of dance electronic music which has to be felt before being listened to. Therefore, Blake uses synths with long notes and thick grain, accompanied by pitched up and down vocal lines -á la Burial- with an aesthetic intention closer to the pitched up samples by Kanye West and in 2step garage (" CMYK"). This is almost a relaxed maxi-single: " Footnotes" is a torrid funk of a forthcoming century, " Postpone" looks out the nocturnal jazz cadence and " I'll Stay" drowns itself in the slow and rich ambience of most of the Hessle Audio dubstep output. James rejects the velocity with his attention to emotional intensity creating a high value item that even if it's not at the same level as Joy Orbison, he is strolling through the same landscape, a hybrid of dubstep, deep house and vocals to spark a fire.

The Hungarian pengo was first introduced in the wake of the first World War in order to stabilize the country's economy and correct the country's inflation.
Hungary's agricultural sector was hit especially hard by the Great Depression, and the country's mounting debt forced the central bank to devalue the currency to cover costs by loosening financial and monetary policy. Later in the decade, the Vienna Awards ceded Hungary territories that it claimed were lost during World War I, but these lands were economically underdeveloped and eventually caused a strain on the national economy.
When World War II hit, Hungary was in a weak economic position and the central bank was almost entirely under the government's control; printing money based on the government's budgetary needs without any sort of financial restraint.
Eventually, the inflationary environment became so dire that coins began disappearing form circulation, beginning with the silver coins and even bronze and nickel currency, as the component metals became far more valuable than the coins themselves. As the war wound down, the standing government took full control of banknote production without any tangible collateral, and the occupying Soviet army simultaneously began issuing its own military money, which further reduced the demand for the pengo.
Hungary's worst hyperinflation occurred after World War II, and despite several large-scale measures to stabilize the currency, the only remedy was to introduce a new currency, the forint, which had a direct conversion into gold and thus into other world currencies. The forint is still in circulation today, but it is expected to be replaced by the euro within the next several years.

Luckily nowadays you no longer have to stack those heavy ledgers to keep track of your accounting. Accounting is no longer as difficult as it was in the past. There are three basic ways to start out that will simplify your life. Nowadays it is also easy to carry out all your accounting right from home, so you can cut down on office rental costs, not to mention personnel management.
If you are looking for a more complete accounting management, then you will need a modular program that can handle transactions, which deal with purchase orders, sales and management supplies.
However, if what you are planning is to open your own company and like straightforward programs, you will find some of the easiest to come to terms with and good options on most accounting sites. Most of the programs proposed are easy to implement and will save you a lot of hassle trying to figure some of the more complex aspects of accounting.
It is always best to rely on one of these programs, as they have been studied and have gathered enough data to be safe, reliable and easy to use.

A 30-year argument. Deal-making. Epic-scale engineering. In just a few days, it will all come down to this: a gentle sheet of water moving quietly across sand.
If all goes well, the ocean will meet the Bolsa Chica wetlands for the first time in more than a century Thursday, signaling the near-completion of a $147 million restoration project and the end of more than three decades of often bitter debate.
The 600-acre restoration area includes a 367-acre tidal basin and the opening of an ocean inlet, recently cut from the shoreline to the wetlands and armored with jetties of rock.
Sometime in the wee hours Thursday morning, a tractor-treaded excavator will gouge out a chunk of a sand dam, the last barrier between the ocean and the inlet – which, along with the tidal basin behind it, was partially filled with pumped-in water in advance.
But there won't be any flashy pyrotechnics or violent destruction. No explosions, hammering, smashing or crushing. Just a trickle of water at first, in the dark.
"This is the opening of the door," said Jack Fancher, project manager for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "It's the beginning. Day zero of the biological recovery."
The excavator, perched on the dam itself, will steadily work its way backward, using its long shovel arm to whittle away the dam before it bit by bit. As the work nears completion, perhaps around sunrise, the tide will begin to rise, and later will merge with the water of the tidal basin. Bolsa and the ocean will finally make their much-anticipated connection.
In the coming weeks, months and years, the full-strength action of tides is expected to bring back life-forms unseen in Bolsa Chica since a duck-hunting club sealed off the wetlands in 1899. Dozens of species of fish along with wetland plants and birds should begin to appear.
"Almost immediately, you're going to get a couple dozen species that will take advantage of it," said Bob Hoffman, biologist and project manager with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Organization.
In a few years, the wetland will again play host to a variety of habitat types and creatures that, for decades, grew increasingly rare along the California coast as development erased coastal marshes.
Surfers worried about changing wave profiles when the plan proposed; now some say the inlet flow has improved surfing.
It didn't always look like it would turn out this way. A century's worth of shifting plans for Bolsa Chica reflected the obsessions and passions of their times.
The Bolsa Chica Gun Club built berms and closed off the wetlands from the ocean to make their hunting experience more pleasant; to them, that seemed like the best way to make use of what some might have viewed as a disagreeable swamp.
That was, of course, before oil was discovered in Huntington Beach, and the means invented to extract it. Soon skeletal oil-pumping towers crowded the coastline.
Boom times in Orange County came and went. After World War II, bedroom communities sprang up.
In an early anticipation of the future wetland project, inner Bolsa Bay was restored in the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in 1978. It's still there, but its water, which meanders through Huntington Harbour, is not linked to the larger wetland. It will remain as it is, a "muted" tidal wetland with some species of fish and shorebirds, a favorite haunt of birders and nature lovers.
In the 1980s, the property owner, Signal Landmark, had big plans: a 1,300-slip marina with hotels, restaurants and 5,700 homes.
That plan fell apart in 1989 and was scaled back to 4,884 homes and a 775-acre restoration project.
In 1993, mergers gave the developer of the wetlands a new name: Koll Real Estate Group. A few years later, the planned number of homes was scaled back further: to 3,300, 900 in the lowlands. That plan gained state Coastal Commission approval but brought a lawsuit from the Bolsa Chica Land Trust and other environmental groups.
By now, "swamps" had become wetlands, and their loss a cause for alarm among conservationists. Coastal salt marshes were not only home to exotic bird life, but nurseries for a variety of commercially important fish species.
Activists fought Koll hard, year after year, with court challenges and public protests, which gave development foes faith that believed the wetland would not be developed.
"I always thought we'd persevere," said Flossie Horgan, a former biology teacher who helped found the Bolsa Chica Land Trust in 1992. "We worked until we got what we wanted."
The breakthrough came in 1997. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach needed to grow. But they had to destroy existing marine habitat to do it.
To make up for the loss, they wanted to strike a deal: purchase Bolsa Chica from Koll, and pay for a large-scale restoration of the wetlands.
The $79 million deal went through. Koll, which became California Coastal Communities, focused now on the Bolsa Chica mesa, a shelf of land overlooking the wetland that the company still owned. The number of homes dropped more: from 2,400 proposed on the mesa to 1,235.
Down below, in the damaged wetland with its web of dirt roads, the real work began.
Sixty-four oil wells, most still commercially viable, were bought out and capped. The soil around them was cleared of contaminants.
A chunk of coastline for the inlet was chosen, bridges built and the inlet dug out. Earth movers reshaped the wetland to allow new basins for water.
Enormous sheets of impermeable plastic were driven into the ground on the northeastern boundary of the wetland, to protect homes on the other side from groundwater that might seep to the surface as the tides came in and out.
Expanses for wetlands with lesser tidal influence were shaped and tide gates were installed. And funds were set aside for a "future" tidal wetland: a 250-acre area in the eastern part of Bolsa where oil will continue to be pumped until it's no longer worth it to do so, perhaps decades from now.
Then, that area will join the full tidal wetland. On the mesa, the final tally for homes to be built was 356. The company sold 103 acres of the mesa for restoration in order to do it.
Controversies continue over small pieces of property that might or might not be added to the preservation area. But in the end, the activists and scientists who spent much of their lives fighting to preserve Bolsa Chica won that old argument.
"Yes, it was saved," said Orange County historian Jim Sleeper. "The developers didn't get it all. But my goodness, it made a lot of lawyers rich, I'll tell you that."

English Writing
Beacon Press, Boston, MA
Technology has changed the way we communicate as a community and a culture. This summer I had the privilege to internship at Beacon Press, a publishing company that has been around for over 150 years. This internship fit my major well, because it combined my disciplines of English and Business…using them to reach people with social media, working with Facebook, Twitter, and blogging for companies. I used Facebook to research groups relevant to our authors' attended audience, and from there I was able reach a whole social network of people. I find the field of publishing to be an interesting one, it allows for a lot more creativity, and I value that. Because of this internship, I feel more confident and also have a better idea of what type of job and atmosphere to look for in my job search. All in all this was a success.]]>

I am always working on the main projects for bits and pieces of the day with other faculty and staff. I also love the atmosphere which makes it really enjoyable to go to work every day.The people are great , the community is wonderful, and the surroundings are unbelievable.This internship highly relates to classes at Plymouth State University. The main classes so far that it has related to are all excel classes such as Business Statistics and Business Computer Applications. Other classes that are good and relate well would be all the finance, accounting and management classes. The main one should be Financial Accounting, Management Accounting and Financial Management."]]>

"Immediately I realized the way I'll approach design projects is going to have to be different from how I approach a project for class. I can't just hop on Google and start brainstorming with images because this is the real world here and not a classroom. I'm noticing more than anything else, that while in school we play the role of both the developer and the designer, it seems that in the industry is very much not the case and that the roles are split between two parties."]]>

"I had a nice long talk with an associate about the work environment and the potential careers you can get into, how she started out, and how she made it through the years. She also helped me understand the basics behind the documentation of the portfolios as well as the software system they use for annual write-ups on clients portfolios. I also had a coworker come into my office and help break down the process and procedures behind the hospitality commercial real estate side. She explained how things are run and why certain decisions are taken and why some decisions are not taken throughout the hospitality business side. Completing a credit-bearing internship takes time, and time is critical when I'm trying to balance a full-time job, job search, and perform well at the internship. I went over an annual review and discussed events taken place with the banking industry with the Assistant VP. I try to ask thousands of questions just because the knowledge is so valuable to me and throughout the process I have learned a lot!"]]>

text: OK, so I was reading the thread on this forum about baffles, and decided to educate myself and have a good look at mine. Looked like it was out of place, which might explain why I've had some difficulty getting the temp up above 350 in the last couple of days. You can probably figure out the rest. I poked it gently, and it instantly broke apart and fell into the firebox. It's Sunday, so can't even call the stove shop to see if they might possibly have one there until tomorrow. Is it dangerous to run the stove without a baffle? It's a tiny firebox and a fairly cool-running stove anyway, so although I don't have a flu probe, I doubt there'd be an outrageous temperature going up the flu without it, but I don't know that. Advice hugely appreciated. (I do have oil heat back-up, but the tank is getting low so would sure love to be able to use the stove for some heat to help out until I can get a replacement baffle.)

Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping to get some help with my iPhone. I've been having some problems ever since upgrading to 3.0 including my camera not taking photos. Nothing is saved to the camera roll, including screenshots. I thought I might just do a full restore to fix it but I do want to keep all of my text messages though. I used the iPhonebrowser to find an sms.db and an sms-legacy.db file under both /private/var/mobile/Library/SMS and /var/mobile/Library/SMS. I was testing this out and made a backup of the sms.db and sms-legacy.db file from the private /private/var/mobile/Library/SMS directory but not the /var/mobile/Library/SMS directory. I sent and received a text and tried I replaced the sms.db and the sms-legacy.db file under private/var/mobile/Library/SMS with my backups but did not save them to the /var/mobile/Library/SMS.
Here's where my problems began. I can no longer send any text messages. I don't know if I can receive any either. I hit send and the SMS process just crashes. I tried fixing it by placing my backup sms.db and sms-legacy.db files back into the /private/var/mobile/Library/SMS and /var/mobile/Library/SMS directory. Rebooted and my texts were restored to when I had the backup, but I still can not send out text messages. I'm wondering if there is any way to fix this or do I now have to do a full restore. Also did I mess up pretty bad and if the files in the /private/var/mobile/Library/SMS and /var/mobile/Library/SMS directories are completely different or what? Both directories have the same files under Library as well, that's why I swapped it.
I did back up my texts messages using Tansee iPhone SMS Transfer, but the whole reason I did this was to import my texts messages back onto my iPhone after a full restore.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

NEW YORK (Oct. 1)
Leading Catholics and Jews have joined in criticism of a censorship order in Spain which banned "Gentleman's Agreement," an American film exposing anti-Senitism in the U.S.
Cardinal Francis Spellman, leader of the American Catholics, objected to a statement credited to the ecclesiastical member of the censorship board in Spain which said that the Christian duty of stimulating love among individuals, societies, nations and peoples does not extend to Jews. Cardinal Spellman's statement labeled as "untrue" this assertion. It then quoted from the New Testament to prove that Christian doctrine is the exact opposite.
Rev. John La Forge, editor of "America," a national Catholic weekly magazine, declared that he considered it his duty "vigorously to repudiate several of the ideas" expressed in the censorship order. He also asserted that the order contradicts Catholic doctrine on the point challenged by Cardinal Spellman, and proceeded to object to the statement that Jews have no right to be proud of being Jews. Rev. La Farge added that it was not "doctrinally correct to tell your Jewish neighbor that he belongs to the 'people who put God to death.'"
The national staff conference of the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League meeting in Atlantic City yesterday described the reason given by the Spanish censorship board as "the most shocking expression of anti-Semitism since the death of Hitler." The parley's statement added that "out of the flames which consumed Nazism, Spain has snatched Hitler's anti-Semitic mantle and proudly flaunts it before the world."
The statement concluded with an appeal to the Christian world to repudiate "the libel against the Jews" and urged "all Christian believers in democracy to repudiate the Fascist philosophy" enunciated in the censorship order.

Jurisdiction in US District Court is a serious matter, and may be based (in general) upon diversity or upon federal question jurisdiction. When a legal malpractice case is based upon some uniquely federal issue, ERISA or a FDA issue or a patent issue, does that allow the action to be brought in District Court? We've argued in the past that mere incantation of the word "patent" does not allow a defendant to remove the case to District Court. In Gunn v. Minton, 133 S.Ct. 1059 (Feb. 20, 2013) the US Supreme Court agreed.
Well, perhaps it did not agree with us, but an article in today's NYLJ talks about the decision. Scheinfeld and Bagley write that "The Supreme Court, however, held unanimously in Gunn, that state courts indeed may hear legal malpractice claims involving federal patent questions, reversing the Texas Supreme Court's decision that federal courts had exclusive jurisdiction."
"Gunn originated in Texas state court, as the fallout from an underlying patent litigation in which respondent Vernon Minton sued Nasdaq for patent infringement in the Eastern District of Texas. That action was dismissed when the court there invalidated the patent in suit for violating the on-sale bar of 35 U.S.C. 102(b). Allegedly, the lawyers representing Minton neglected to assert the experimental use exception to the on-sale bar, and the decision was upheld on appeal.
Minton responded by filing a malpractice suit in Texas state court, alleging that the lawyer's negligent failure to timely raise the experimental use exception to the on-sale bar cost him the opportunity of winning his federal patent infringement litigation. The trial court dismissed the action for lack of evidence, and Minton appealed to the state appellate court in Fort Worth. While the appeal was pending, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued its opinions in Air Measurement v. Akin Gump1 and Immunocept v. Fulbright,2 holding that when a state-law malpractice case arises from a substantive issue of patent law, federal courts have jurisdiction over such claims. Minton then moved to dismiss his own case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, hoping to re-file the malpractice suit in federal court. The appeals court was unmoved, however, and instead affirmed the trial court's ruling dismissing the suit with prejudice.
On appeal to the Texas Supreme Court, Minton prevailed: The court held that, purportedly under U.S. Supreme Court precedent, Minton's malpractice case belonged exclusively in federal court, and granted the motion to dismiss. The court agreed that because his legal malpractice claim was based on an alleged error in a patent case, it "aris[es] under" federal patent law for purposes of 28 U.S.C. §1338(a). And because, under §1338(a), no "state court shall have jurisdiction over any claim for relief arising under any Act of Congress relating to patents," the Texas court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to decide the case.
The Supreme Court disagreed, relying on its precedent set in Grable & Sons Metal Products v. Darve Engineering & Mfg., 545 U.S. 308, 314 (2005):
Does the "state-law claim necessarily raise a stated federal issue, actually disputed and substantial, which a federal forum may entertain without disturbing any congressionally approved balance of federal and state judicial responsibilities?" Grable, 545 U.S., at 314, 125 S.Ct. 2363. That is, federal jurisdiction over a state law claim will lie if a federal issue is (1) necessarily raided, (2) actually disputed, (3) substantial, and (4) capable of resolution in federal court without disrupting the federal-state balance approved by Congress. Where all four of these requirements are met we held, jurisdiction is proper because there is a "serious federal interest in claiming the advantages thought to be inherent in a federal forum," which can be vindicated without disrupting Congress's intended division of labor between state and federal courts.
Id., at 313-314, 125 S.Ct. 2363.
Applying Grable's inquiry, the Supreme Court found that this particular legal malpractice claim does not "arise" under federal patent law and, indeed, state legal malpractice claims based on underlying patent matters will "rarely, if ever," arise under federal patent law for purposes of 1338(a).
In Minton's case, although a federal patent question (i.e., whether the experimental use exception to an on-sale bar factually applied) was "necessarily raised," and "actually disputed," the federal issue, the court concluded, was "not substantial in the relevant sense:"
As our past cases show, however, it is not enough that the federal issue be significant to the particular parties in the immediate suit; that will always be true when the state claim "necessarily raises[s]" a disputed federal issue, as Grable separately requires. The substantiality inquiry under Grable looks instead to the importance of the issue to the federal system as a whole. [emphasis in original]"

Udall loses on credit card interest-rate freeze to GOP Grinch
Mark Udall made a commendable effort to keep the banks and credit card companies from raising interest rates and fees again before the Christmas shopping season starts in earnest. His bill was stopped by a single Republican senator.
"Families and small businesses are hurting during these tough times," Sen. Udall said, "and I find it unconscionable for credit card companies to game the system and jack up already high interest rates even higher."
Sen. Michael Bennet released a similar statement. "Hard-working families continue to get hit by unfair interest rate hikes as credit card companies make a last-ditch effort to turn a profit," he said. "Colorado families need relief from these practices, and they need it now."
Udall's bill follows the defeat of one he co-sponsored with Sen. Chris Dodd to freeze credit card interest rates immediately until the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act (Credit CARD Act) takes effect in February 2010. Republicans used a "procedural trick" to keep the issue from coming to a vote in the Senate.
The Credit CARD Act will "institute common sense pro-consumer reforms like requiring advance notice of interest-rate increases, banning the practice of universal default and protecting young people from unscrupulous lending practices," Udall said.
Other provisions of the act require written notice of interest rate increases and prohibit increasing interest rates on existing balances or charging interest on accounts already paid. It also extends to 60 days the period for which interest can be raised for missing payment.
The Credit CARD Act was signed by President Obama last May. But, in order to allow time for the credit card industry to adjust to the new rules, implementation was delayed until February of next year.
To the annoyance of congressional Democrats, the industry used the delay as an opportunity to raise interest rates, cut credit limits and raise transaction fees for balance transfers and cash advances. Rather than curtailing credit card abuses, the industry used passage of the act as an opportunity for revenue enhancement.
"This is a common practice and will continue to be common, because issuers can do these things for really no reason until February," said John Ulzheimer, president of consumer education for Credit.com, which tracks the industry.
When it became apparent that the credit card industry was planning a new round of interest rate and fee increases before the December shopping rush, Udall joined Sen. Dodd to introduce a bill to freeze interest rates on credit cards until the Credit CARD Act takes effect in February.
Senate Republicans used a "procedural trick," according to Udall, to keep the bill from even coming to a vote.
In the meantime, the House had passed a stronger bill that would move the effective date for the entire Credit CARD Act to Dec. 1 of this year.
In a final attempt to protect consumers from a drastic increase in credit charges before Christmas, Udall introduced a Senate version of the House bill.
It would have needed unanimous consent from the Senate to move forward. Lack of unanimous consent would kill the bill.
Once again the GOP played the Grinch to spoil Christmas. Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi objected "on behalf of several senators on this side of the aisle." He put a "hold" on the bill that, under Senate rules, effectively killed Udall's bill by preventing a vote on it.
Consumers using credit cards for Christmas shopping are forewarned: Expect sticker shock when the bills come due in January. That's when the credit card companies and the Senate GOP Grinches will celebrate their Christmas surprise.
Congressional Republicans may not want to raise your taxes, but when it comes to raising your credit card interest rates, they are shameless.

ST. PETERSBURG — A 34-year-old woman was charged with arson on Wednesday after police said she admitted to setting her ex-boyfriend's pick-up on fire.
Linda Conver at first told investigators it was an accident. Then police said she admitted deliberately igniting his vehicle with a lit cigarette. In fact, police say she told them that she repeatedly tried to set it on fire.
"She said she tried to throw a lit cigarette down the gas tank," said police spokesman Mike Puetz. "That didn't work, fortunately for her."
The incident started around 2 a.m., when police say Conver banged on the door of the home at 1519 39th St. S where her former boyfriend was staying.
"He said he chose not to answer the door," Puetz said.
She returned around 3:30 a.m., police say, and tried to ignite his 1994 Ford F-150 pick-up. One of the door windows was missing, so she took a lit cigarette and start lighting holes in a sweater laying inside. Then she ignited the sweater, police say. Police did not say how exactly the truck caught fire.
St. Petersburg firefighters extinguished the vehicle, which was a total loss. But firefighters said they could not get the boyfriend to answer the door afterward. They towed the vehicle. The boyfriend didn't find out what had happened until he woke up hours later and reported his truck missing.
Conver, of 7025 Fourth St. N, was also charged with violating probation. She was being held Wednesday without bail in the Pinellas County jail.

Deaf community asking for more interpreters
Mon, 17 Oct 2011 12:19:23 GMT —
Communication is part of our everyday lives but just imagine how it would feel to lose the ability to hear or speak.
No one probably understands that more than 24 year old Ana Chavez.
She not only was born profoundly deaf but her entire family also suffers from the same disability.
I grew up with a lot of challenges, said Chavez. It was pretty difficult."
Now that she's older the Harlingen native said those challenges have only gotten worse.
They don TMt want to hire a person that TMs deaf, said Chavez. Here in the valley it TMs very frustrating looking work the deaf are discriminated against.. it TMs very difficult finding a job.
According to Chavez, the valley is really behind in terms of services for the hard of hearing.
One of the most obvious problems she pointed out is the lack of interpreters in the RGV especially during emergencies.
Diana "Pepper" Mendez is a well known interpreter among the deaf community in the valley.
She told Action 4 there isn TMt enough interpreters in the valley.
The statistic is staggering, according to Mendez there are only about 44 interpreters to serve the nearly 10-thousand people who are either deaf or hard of hearing.
A brutal fact that Mendez said is affecting every aspect of those in the deaf communities TM lives.
Luckily one valley school is listening.
South Texas College is the first valley school to offer an interpretor certification and this December they'll graduate their first group of students.
Joann Vasquez is one of those students enrolled in the program she said she TMs eager to start working and give the deaf a stronger voice.
STC will hold an ADA Awareness Day on October 25th at their Pecan Campus.
If you would like more information on the interpreter program at STC contact Jovanda Delgado at (956) 872-2015

Some members of an Ojibwe family in Warroad say the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe is evicting them from land they've lived on for generations, so the tribe can use the property for its casino.
The way Warroad resident Donald Kakaygeesick explains things, it's a case of David versus Goliath.
Kakaygeesick said Red Lake leaders have told him and his mother to be off the Lake of the Woods lakeshore property by Oct 15. But he refuses to leave, claiming the land is being stolen from them.
"I think there's fraud committed here," he said. "I think there's something really wrong here, and a crime has been committed."
That's one opinion of a complicated story that began more than 100 years ago. In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt granted about 100 acres to Kakaygeesick's great-grandfather, a locally renowned Ojibwe chief named Everlasting Sky.
Kakaygeesick said his great-grandfather lived to the age of 124. He claims that before he died in 1968, Everlasting Sky used his thumbprint to sign his last will and testament, giving the Lake of the Woods property to Kakaygeesick's father -- and that the will was later changed without Everlasting Sky's consent. Instead, the land went to the chief's oldest daughter, Mary Angus.
Kakaygeesick also claims that a descendant of Mary Angus left behind a will that returned the land to his family. Kakaygeesick said he's seen copies of that will, but he can't find the original.
The living descendents of Mary Angus say they were the rightful owners of the property.
"I feel no sympathy or guilt towards that, I'll tell you right now," said Jean Shipley, the chief's great-granddaughter.
Shipley said she and about half dozen other family members were recognized as the legal owners of the land. They sold it to Red Lake two years ago for $1 million.
Shipley said her side of the family moved away from Warroad years ago. She said they offered to share the proceeds with their Kakaygeesick cousins.
"We said, 'we would include you,' but they didn't want that," she said. "He went to court and he wanted all of it. They were our family at one time, but somehow things got lost along the way. But I just know our side of the story is, the land is ours. Legally, that was proved."
"They were our family at one time, but somehow things got lost along the way."Jean Shipley, relative of Don Kakaygeesick
Red Lake Tribal officials say Kakaygeesick has tried to portray them as bullies. But they say the law is on their side.
"We did the legitimate processes that were available, and we did our business in a fair manner as far as we're concerned," said Harlan Beaulieu, the tribe's realty officer. "We dealt with legitimate owners, and not somebody claiming to be an owner."
Though well known in Warroad, members of the Kakaygeesick family are not Red Lake band members. Their family is not part of a recognized tribe, but they've long been part of local history. People have written articles about Chief Everlasting Sky and painted his portrait. His face still appears on postcards.
Cynthia Baker, who grew up in Warroad, said most people in town are confused by the complicated land issues. But Baker said some locals support the family's efforts to stay on the property.
"The Kakaygeesick family is very integral to the history and present of the Warroad community," she said. "It's always been understood that that's their land, and I don't think that was ever questioned until casino interests entered into the equation."
Red Lake tribal officials say they may build a new casino on the property within a few years. Meanwhile, Kakaygeesick said he and his mother will stay there until they are physically removed.

US banks biding time on Basel II, says Dugan
Daily news headlines
WASHINGTON, DC – Not one US bank will begin to implement Basel II's capital adequacy requirements by the earliest possible date of April 1, according to the US comptroller of the currency, John Dugan.
Tier I banks such as Citigroup will use their full 36-month window to begin Basel II implementation, said Dugan at an international banking conference on Monday.
"We haven't received any notifications, so I think it's safe to say no national bank will be starting on that earliest possible date. The next time an institution could begin that process is July 1, but we don't yet know if any institution will begin as of that date," he said.
Concerns over the validity of Basel II's capital requirement models have been exacerbated by the unforeseen turbulence in the US subprime mortgage market and its overspill into the global credit crunch.
Market illiquidity has also contributed to US banks' reluctance to rush into the flexible but lower capital requirements offered by Basel II models.
Dugan emphasised the short-term stress for banks created by problems in the US mortgage market and the long-term nature of Basel II requirements, saying regulators "might need to consider taking steps – possibly including imposing higher minimum capital requirements".
The Basel II implementation framework involves a one-year test period followed by three years for complete implementation. Banks are limited to a 5% capital reduction in their first year of implementation, 10% in the second and 15% in the third.
The US has only adopted Basel II's rules for its largest and international 'core banks' – such as Citigroup, JP Morgan and Bank of America. The comptroller of the currency said a rule for smaller banks could be expected in the second quarter of 2008.

While dancing on the rooftop, BMO is mistaken for prey and is snatched by a giant eagle. In an attempt to escape from the bird's nest, he falls down the tree and ends up lost in the woods. On the way back home, BMO meets a wayward bubble and an abandoned baby in the forest. The pint-size adventurer faces self-doubt and the various dangers of the wilderness as he tries to find a home for his bubble partner.
Ever since BMO graduated from a background fixture to a full blown supporting character, I've always looked forward to episodes focusing around BMO. This is partly because BMO is such a fun and enjoyable character to watch, and also because his episodes tend to be full of the madcap wonder that has been less apparent in the show since season one. Niki Yang's adorable voice work as BMO just adds to the cheery sense of innocence behind his adventures and creates a counterpoint to the darker subtext that often gives his plots more substance, from self-doubt to body image issues.
This episode felt a bit more aimless and slower than "BMO Noire," with the baby subplot getting dropped halfway through the episode and the middle of the episode being significantly less interesting the the setup and conclusion. The episode's ending is one of the creepiest in a long catalog of dark endings, as Bubble (as voiced by LeVar Burton, another Star Trek alum) swears to follow BMO around forever. The perfect cherry on top to this ending is BMO's naively ecstatic reaction afterwards, which really represents Adventure Time's dark yet innocent style of humor in a nutshell. "BMO Lost" isn't the greatest BMO episode, but any adventure with BMO is bound to be a fun watch.

A Novato woman was arrested on robbery and assault allegations Wednesday after an incident involving a costumed fairy and a gun-packing woman in military fatigues, police said.
Teresa Gollihugh, 20, was booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of robbery, burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, battery, conspiracy and exhibiting a firearm. Her bail was set at $100,000.
The investigation began shortly before 2 a.m. Wednesday, when Novato police received a report of a man yelling for help in the 2000 block of Center Road. Police found the man bleeding from a cut on the head, and he was taken to Novato Community Hospital for "extensive sutures," police said.
Police said the man was assaulted after a "fairy costumed female" came to his home and asked to use the phone, and a second woman in military fatigues arrived with a handgun. A struggle ensued, the gun was dropped, and the two women attacked the alleged victim with a metal lamp, a large coffee mug and alcohol bottles.
Police said the women called for a third woman — the mother of the suspect who had the gun — to come into the home and help assault the man. A laptop was stolen during the incident.
Gollihugh was arrested Wednesday afternoon in the Two Rock area outside Petaluma. Novato police Lt. Keith Heiden said the investigation was continuing and released no further details about how Gollihugh was linked to the incident.
Police said the alleged assault does not appear to be a random act.

We told you about HMV's Twitter troubles yesterday and today we bring you the woman behind the tweets: @Poppy_Powers.
And guess what? It seems she's swamped with social media job offers since this happened.
Looks like there are a few lessons here for executives AND social media managers, hmm? Let's take a stroll through her tweets to learn a bit more about what happened.
@Poppy_Powers describes herself as "a dreamer" who "just can't sleep" and has been "causing trouble since '91." I love her already, don't you?
And she caused quite a bit of trouble for the folks at @HMVtweets yesterday, when she live-tweeted the company's mass firing of 190 people.
But in the wake of all that excitement, let's not forget all the folks who lost jobs. It seems that was the motivation behind Poppy Rose Cleere's (a.k.a. @Poppy_Powers) actions.
According to The London Evening Standard, she was the former HMV social media planner – and compared to her colleagues, she felt she had little to lose, comparatively speaking:
So when the axe came down, she posted this on her Twitter and got to work:
If you missed it, you can read the series of tweets she sent from HMV's Twitter here.
Her Twitter stream provides additional elaboration around the reasons why she did it:
And whether or not that's true, she's still (rightfully) being viewed as champion of the people. Also, she DIDN'T actually 'hijack' anything, she was the person will sole responsibility for HMV's Twitter and Facebook accounts. Shame on HMV for THAT:
And she even told them how to remove her after-the-fact:
The London Evening Standard shares that according to her sister, Grace Cleere, Poppy Rose "had already 'received many job offers' in social media following the stunt, which attracted more than 10,000 followers to the HMV feed."
Ms Cleere added: "I think she's keeping quiet for the time being – overwhelmed with it all."
And if you search for Poppy_Powers on Twitter, you'll see why she would be.
The consensus is overwhelmingly positive, with offers to speak and other tweets showing support:
Though there are some who disagree – and wonder how ANY company would be foolish enough to trust her with its social media efforts:
We have an answer: One that understands how to use it.
Would you hire her?

'Law Abiding Citizen'
Five years ago, the gritty thriller Collateral opened as just another Tom Cruise vehicle and became Jamie Foxx's breakthrough as a serious actor. Now the Gucci shoe's on the other foot with Law Abiding Citizen (R), in which Foxx gets top billing yet may be overshadowed by his co-star.
A ferocious performance in 300 didn't make Gerard Butler a household name, and flops like The Ugly Truth, Nim's Island and Gamer didn't help at all. But the preview trailer for Law Abiding Citizen gets moviegoers buzzing with anticipation. Nobody's predicting an Oscar nomination like Foxx received for Collateral but Butler may have a role that folks will remember.
Butler plays Clyde Shelton, a victim of a home invasion that leaves his wife and daughter murdered. One culprit gets the death penalty while the other gets a plea bargain from district attorney Nick Rice (Foxx), setting him free after a few years. Clyde gets some vigilante payback and goes to prison but that's when the fun begins.
Somehow from behind bars, Clyde is arranging the deaths of anyone involved in the plea bargain that ruined his life. Nick and his family are next on the list. Like Charles Bronson's classic Death Wish, Law Abiding Citizen appeals to our vigilante instincts, blurring the distinction between right and wrong.
Law Abiding Citizen wasn't screened in time for Weekend. A review can be found at entertainment.tampabay.com and on Friday's Etc page (Page 2B).
'The Boys Are Back'
One reason why Gerard Butler isn't better known may be that he's easily confused with Clive Owen. They're both rugged blokes from the British Isles, sexy in ruddy sorts of ways and equally handy with weapons or women. Both actors releasing movies on the same day may end the confusion.
The Boys Are Back (PG-13) sounds nothing like Law Abiding Citizen. Owen plays Joe Warr, a sportswriter stunned by his wife's sudden death, leaving him unprepared for single parenthood. Joe takes an unusual approach to raising children, allowing his sons to do pretty much whatever they please. That kind of hands-off attitude won't last long.
The Boys Are Back is among the first movies being shown at the new CineBistro, 1609 W Swann Ave. in Tampa's Hyde Park district. The movie is directed by Scott Hicks, an Academy Award nominee for directing Shine (1996), which looks more like a one-hit wonder each passing year.
'The Stepfather'
If you only know Terry O'Quinn from his role as John Locke on TV's Lost, check his breakout performance in 1987's The Stepfather. That was a nasty piece of business about a man marrying women then killing them — and their children, when possible — if they don't adhere to his idea of the perfect housewife.
Good, lurid trash, so of course it has been remade for a new generation. The new Stepfather (PG-13) stars Dylan Walsh (Nip/Tuck) as the modern Bluebeard but this version is tailored for the youth market with Penn Badgley (Gossip Girl) and Amber Heard (Pineapple Express) saving the day. Screen Gems declined to provide advance screenings to critics.

Classic Entertainment--didn't want it to end!
Yes--the stories were real and so entertaining.
I love Adriana Trigiani--have heard her speak live numerous times and could listen to her for hours. The other speaker was very entertaining. It was fun to hear the inside "scoop" of writing for tv.

The three-day 17th international conference on pharmacy and 21st Century concluded here on Saturday, which was attended by around 2,000 scholars, health practitioners and government officials.
As many as 50 research papers were presented by scholars belonging to various countries during the conference, which was held by Pakistan Pharmacist Association (PPA).
PPA President Dr Saeedul Haq called for recognition of pharmacists' role in health delivery system and stressed on increasing their role in formulating the National Drug Policy.
"The targets set by the Millennium Develop Goals and Health for All cannot be achieved without utilising and establishing the services of pharmacy in the country," he added.
Speakers also recommended training pharmacists on a regular basis and urged the government to introduce a programme for their capacity building.
They also suggested for initiating Nationwide Pharmacovigilance programme in hospitals and community pharmacies. The organising committees were given shields at the end of the concluding sessions.
