Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon

"For an industry that lost $9.4bn last year and was forecast to lose a further $2.8bn in 2010, this crisis is devastating," Giovanni Bisignani, the Iata chief, said.
Bisignani said an extraordinary situation had been exacerbated by "poor decision-making" from governments, which he said now need to look at how to compensate the airlines.
"I am the first one to say that this industry does not want or need bail-outs. But this crisis is not the result of running our business badly," he said.
Clearing backlog
Even though air traffic has resumed, airlines are still struggling to clear a backlog of passengers and cargo after about 100,000 flights were cancelled in the last week.
The ash cloud from a volcano eruption on Iceland caused air-traffic authorities across Europe to close airspace and millions of people were affected.
Several airline executives, including Willie Walsh, the British Airways chief, have questioned if the long-lasting shutdowns were really necessary.
"I don't believe it was necessary to impose a blanket ban on all UK airspace last Thursday," he said.
"My personal belief is that we could have safely continued operating for a period of time."
Michael O'Leary, Ryanair's chief executive, condemned what he called the slow response by authorities.
Airlines say the ash chaos cost them $1.7bn
"It might have made sense to ground flights for a day or two. That's understandable. But there should have been a much faster response by the governments, the transport ministers and the regulators," he said.
One vulcanologist advising the United Nations said the authorities had had no choice but to close their airspace because of the lack of hard facts about aircraft behaviour in volcanic ash.
"There is at the moment no reliable data on the exact concentration of ash in the atmosphere and when an aircraft can fly, or not, through such plumes," Henry Gaudru, president of the European Vulcanological Society, said.
In Iceland, the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier remained active on Wednesday, throwing huge magma chunks into the air, spewing lava and producing tremors.
But it was not shooting ash and smoke six to 10 kilometres intothe air like it did previously.

Mouse freezes
HP Media Center XP SP3 Desktop
Firefox 18.01
At times the cursor freezes.
Everything is updated, and I have cleaned the cache. Also ran Disc Clean and Defrag.
I googled but only got one suggestion, which was to add a mouse trail. Did that; didn't help.
When the cursor freezes, I have to shut down at the tower.
Historically, mouse problems are caused by video drivers. Did you recently update your Display Adapter driver ? If so maybe it can be rolled back in device manager to see if that eliminates the problem.
This post was edited by mikie on Mon, Jan 28, 13 at 23:28
At times a mouse's operation can be effected by resource drain. The most common causes are too many applications running in the background, too much demand for the system at once, or a combination of both.
You didn't report how much RAM your system has.
If it is a wireless mouse I state the obvious as at times we all tend to over think things, the battery?
512MB of RAM is a very small amount these days and insufficient to handle some of today's memory intensive tasks efficiently. I'm guessing that your computer is a number of years old. You should see if it is possible to add more RAM to it, which would be much cheaper than the new computer you will eventually have to buy. Go to crucial.com and/or kingston.com; both of them have very easy onscreen tools that will allow you to determine in a few seconds what additional memory your computer can handle and the cost.
One other suggestion. My computer has a lot more RAM than yours, but I will occasionally get a frozen mouse when using Firefox with a lot of windows open. Before this happens, I usually get a warning as the cursor starts developing a little lag. The solution is to simply close out all Firefox windows and re-open it.
Kudzu9, you are right, my computer is 5-6 years old. I don't do any gaming, downloading music, etc. I sometimes might have two windows open. I just surf and email.
I went to crucial.com where it says they will do a Free Scan. I clicked that, then there is a box to check if you agree to their terms and agreements, but I don't see what they are. Also at that point it doesn't say Free. I'm very cautious about these things.
I agree that the small amount of RAM could be the source of the problem.
In the meantime, try using Chrome as your browser. While not the worst of the bunch, Firefox is a bit of a memory hog. Chrome has a lighter touch and so by using less of the limited resources you have, it could be less likely to cause a problem.
You don't have to worry about Crucial.com. If you want to read the terms and conditions for a scan -- in all their boring, lengthy lawyer-ese -- you have to hover your mouse over the words "Terms and conditions" and then click on it and a box will pop up for you to read. I guarantee it will be a waste of time for you.
Further, I don't believe you even need to do the scan. If you select the Memory Advisor option it should give you all the info you need. I think you only need to run the Scanner if you can't tell them the model of computer you have. And if you do need to run the Scanner, it's a harmless piece of software that you download, run, and delete afterwards. It's not going to do anything bad to your computer, or change it in any way, or install something on it you don't want and can't get rid of, or spy on you, or steal your credit card number, etc.
And I don't work for Crucial...I've just used them numerous times over the last 15 years, so I know they are totally legit.
This post was edited by kudzu9 on Wed, Jan 30, 13 at 13:31
Kudzu9, no, I didn't really want to read the T&A, I just wanted to know for sure if it was free.
I did run the scan and this is the results:
2GBkit (1GBx2) $37.99
1GBkit 512MBx2 $27.99
I hope to use this PC as long as XP holds out. By then I expect the "newest and greatest " to be available and I will only have one learning curve to hurdle.
So, Kuduz9, which would you recommend I order?
Thanks, and also to the others who replied.
P.S. And of course, the mouse froze just as I was ready to Preview, so I came to my word program and wrote it again. I've been trying to remember to do that, but I forget
How many slots do you have available? You may have to remove existing memory and re-arrange to get the maximum. If you are running XP 32bit, the maximum it will recognize is 3GB, and that's what I have in my computer. I have 4 slots with 1GB in each of 2 of them and 512MB in each of the other 2 for a total of 3GB. Mine originally came with only the two 512MB sticks of memory, so I ordered the 2GBkit. I put the two existing 512MB sticks in slots 3 and 4, and put the new sticks in slots 1 and 2. But a lot depends on your present configuration. Crucial should have shown you exactly what you have and how it is configured.
I'd definitely go for the 2GB, especially since you want to hold on to your computer; it looks like a bargain to go with the most you can install and it should make a significant difference. I'm assuming the Crucial site showed you how many slots you have (probably 2?). If so, that means one is being used by the half GB you now have; you would simply pull that one and then install the two new ones. It's very easy to do this, so just ask if you need any help with the install.
Here is the info from Crucial re slots:
Memory Type: DDR2 PC2-5300, DDR2 (non-ECC)
Maximum Memory: 4GB
Currently Installed Memory: 512MB
Total Memory Slots: 4
Available Memory Slots: 2
I watched a video that shows how to install them. Looks easy enough.
Also, though, I'm sure there is too much in Start Up. What is the best way to clean it out? Back in the day it was simple.
Since you have 4 slots -- two full, two empty -- that's good, because you can keep the old memory. Here is what you should do. When you get the new memory, pull the existing chips out and move them to the two slots that are now empty; then put the new memory where the original memory used to be. This will ensure that the computer makes the most optimal use of the new memory. If you get 2 GB of new memory, as I suggested, you will then have a total of 2.5 GB and that should make a significant difference. If in the future you want to go to the 4 GB limit, you would simply replace the two old 256 MB chips with two more 1 GB chips. However, just get the 2 GB set now and see if that performs adequately for you.
while in the case changing memory is an excellent time to clean out all the dust bunnies that can cause over heating and associated problems. Always be sure to either use a grounding wristband which you can get at any electronics store or department for just a couple bucks, or make sure you are grounded to the metal case,static electricity can do damage.
Eliminating static electricity is a good suggestion. I have used grounding straps myself, but I don't believe they are absolutely necessary as long as you dissipate any static electricity when you first begin to work. The link below has a good discussion about the realities of doing this.
Whatever you do, just remember to unplug the computer before doing any work inside so there isn't a shock hazard.
Here is a link that might be useful: Grounding
I had the same problem with the cursor randomly freezing on my 10 year old Dell Dimension 4450.
Would have to restart the computer each time.
I did a 'BIOS' update from 'A02' to 'A08' about 6 years ago and haven't had the problem since.
The computer is kept clean; I use canned air.
My last question was I'm sure there is too much in Start Up. What is the best way to clean it out? Back in the day it was simple.
If the memory has been fine up till now, I don't undrstand why it would affect the mouse.
Every task is becoming more and more intensive. An older system doing today's work will quite often reach its limits. With your 512kb RAM your system is operating Windows, any application(s) you might have open, your e-mail if it is on on realtime, and of course your AV. And there are more possibilities. Like a rubber band, you can only stretch it so far.
WinPatrol and CCleaner both allow you to see what is in startup and both allow you to delete or stop programs from starting fairly easy.
Is your mouse from china ? I see in China some billionaire is selling cans of air now. Probably pretty expensive but most likey of the type mice like best.
All things considered, I'm going to get another PC for now. Maybe a refurbished, to use until MS drops support on XP, which gives me another year, and possibly much longer. My son is familiar with this machine and he told me he would not suggest putting any money into it.
Thanks again for all the helps and points to ponder.

Numerous rumors have surrounded the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S4 in the past months but the latest one that surfaced on the internet could make the smart phone enthusiasts anticipate more. Samsung will reportedly incorporate the high-technology hand-gesture feature on the Galaxy S4.
The Korean news source DDaily claimed that the technology giant plans to install the Atmel maxTouch Series Touch which supports hand gestures within the display screen range. Samsung's high-technology feature will allow the Galaxy S4 users move their fingers above the screen to execute actions on the smart phone without making any contact.
Though the new Atmel chip will purportedly be used on Samsung Galaxy S4, the high-tech feature still offers minimum power consumption with a much better performance and flexibility like answering phone calls or scrolling the device. The hand-gesture technology can be helpful when hands are sweaty or winter gloves are worn making it difficult to scroll on the screen.
With the touch-free feature available, the Galaxy S4 users can just simply hold the smart phone and use hand movements to operate it. The touch-free gestures on Samsung Galaxy S4 would work with the use of infrared proximity sensors as well as cameras that will interpret the hand movements without touching the smart phone.
The advanced technology will allow for a multitude of signal driven applications and the use of super thin sensing electrodes such as the Indium Tin Oxide (ITO). These sensitive electrodes will invisibly combine the central processors, graphics processors and other functions.
Samsung has not confirmed or denied the hand-gesture technology rumor on Samsung Galaxy S4. The technology giant has not officially released any Galaxy S4 launch information or phone specifications and the company declines to give comments on the rumors.
"We don't comment on rumors or speculation," a Samsung spokesperson stated.

Using milk proteins to improve health
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
How to improve the immune system using natural milk proteins is the focus of a research study at Griffith University.
A placebo-controlled study will ask adults who want to improve their health to take a supplement containing milk proteins for one month.
"In addition to roles in host defence, recent evidence suggests that these proteins may be beneficial for metabolism," says lead researcher Dr Nicholas West from the Griffith Health Institute. "This study aims to assess the biological pathways which are involved in driving responses to these supplements.
"This study will help us determine if the supplements can improve immune and metabolic function to enhance health."
The study is seeking Gold Coast residents aged between 18-55 to consume the supplement and undergo a series of health assessments at the Griffith Health Institute.
The study will be ongoing for several months and outcomes known by the end of the year.

Rose or not? The leaves do not look like rose but the flowers do.
I think cecily might have it right...
Here is a link that might be useful: double quince flowers
My double flowering quince blooms are real close to the stem. Doesn't hang off like in the pics but it could be a different kind. The leaves kinda resemble some of my camellias but none of my camellias hang off like that in clusters. The bloom looks so pretty in your picture. Real curious myself to see what it ends up being. Good luck. Judy
the leaves look like an oleander to me, but the blossom didn't, so i googled double oleander just for kicks, and there are some doubles..see the link below...if it is oleander, just know that every part of an oleander is poisenous, just in case you have small children or pets...donna
Here is a link that might be useful: double oleander
The problem with seeing some roses leaves from a distance is that it's not possible to see if the plant has dropped leaves from disease or (doesn't apply here) from rabbit or deer predation. Often this results in the terminal leaflet hanging on.
Does this plant have stipules?
That's the basic question.
If there are no stipules (they don't have to be as big as the ones in the photo below), then is isn't a rose, so your initial question would be answered.
Here is a link that might be useful: 3rd picture w big stipules on R. virginiana
The single leaves have a hint of stipules at the base, but not fully developed stipules.
Or I can say they partially have stipules and partially lack stipules.
I have asked someone, he says it might be considered a type quince by the gardeners. But it is a border line case. Plus, he says this is not created by hybridizing a quince and a rose. But it is a species, possibly from China or Japan. But he is not sure. I am trying to figure out the species name.
BTW, your R virginiana is soooo lovely! I must have it!
Snasxs, My quince is putting on a few blooms too right now which it does every year. I was looking at the back bush leaves when I said they kinda remind me of camellias, sorry!! Real curious to see what it ends up being. You need to post us a picture next spring when you get the bush to looking like it should. Good luck, Judy
That's not a quince. The arrangement of the flowers on the stems is totally not-quince and very much rose-like.
But the leaves appear all wrong! hard to tell in these photos. We need closeups of the leaves, without the neighboring plants mixed in.
Not oleander either, the flowers don't sit like that on oleanders, and the growth habit is totally different. Bushy, with straight woody stems. And oleanders have long waxy opposite leaves, and they weep latexy or sticky sap when cut. Don't get that sap on your skin, oleanders are poisonous and the sap can make your heart race if you get a lot of it on your skin.
The overall growth habit is totally rose-like.
Quinces are in the rose family, and have stipules at the base of their single leaves, as I recall. The leaves sure look like quince, but the flowers and the growth habit do not.
I cannot say what it is! only what it isn't.
Maryl, the leaves are single. You might have seen a whole branch (it is not a complex leaf). Look at the second picture.
Ocngypz, this is clearly not camellia. What cultivar of camellia do you have with clustered blooms from long and branching flowering stalks?
The first photo is confusing to the eye.
After studying both photos, I believe the blooms belong to the plant on the left, which is difficult to see. It overlaps the plant on the right, which has shinier, smooth-edged slender leaves.
The second photo shows the separate plants more clearly. The brown-edged pot appears to hold the flowering plant in question.
I think many of us may be all guessed out with only the current pictures and information given. Can you supply any additional information such as how long have you had it, why are the leaves so sparse, what did the leaves look like when they fell (disease symptoms), where did you get this plant and where did they get it? Good luck identifying it, btw.
Mary L,
The plant has no disease nor problem. It is in the process of going into winter dormancy.
I went on a vacation on and off for 3 months. So the plant is under watered. But I placed it in partial shade.
The lovely ever-green plant behind is the fragrant Daphne Odora.
It may be a flowering pomegranate.
No, not pomegranate. Leaves and flower are wrong for pomegranate.
Looks like Camellia to me.
Here is a link that might be useful: Camellia
Well, 'taint a rose, but neither does it look like any camellia I've seen,
and camellias were one of my grandma's faves, so I grew up with 'em.
I don't think that's even a Sassanqua Camellia.
So, I don't know what it is, but it's sure neat!
The close-up flower could be misleading. It is not a fully opened flower. It is an already faded, close-to be finished, flower. I took the second set of pictures late. If you recall how a rose look like right before it falls apart  In their prime time, the flowers look like normal rose.
Check out this pic of Bluestone's quince "CHAENOMELES speciosa Iwai Nishiki"
Here is a link that might be useful: CHAENOMELES speciosa Iwai Nishiki
Thats close Jackie but CHAENOMELES speciosa Iwai Nishiki blooms early spring to late Spring and this has flowers in October and the reproductive parts are different. Are there any flowering Quinces which bloom in the Fall? Seems like everyone knows what its not and not what it is. LOL
