SEC Releases Landmark Rules on Conflict Minerals and Extractive Revenue Payments
Calvert has played a leading role among investors in the rule-making process for both Dodd-Frank Section 1502 Conflict Minerals and Section 1504 Resource Payment Reporting Requirements.
Voted yesterday, the rules are the long-awaited outcomes of a complicated and controversial two year-long rule making process.
Section 1502 requires companies to disclose their efforts to identify and eliminate the use of certain minerals that have helped to fund the continuing conflict in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), while Section 1504 requires oil, gas and mining companies to disclose revenue payments they make to governments around the world.
The rules will require companies registered on U.S. exchanges to make unprecedented disclosures of potentially material risks to investors.

Suspensions and injuries have depleted the Tour de France field, but that doesn't mean the 2012 race lacks strong competitors. Heading into Saturday's prologue, Britain's Bradley Wiggins is the favorite to win the yellow jersey.
Current bedding odds from Bovada have Wiggins as the 7/5 favorite and for good reason. Wiggins has been especially strong in 2012, becoming the first rider to win Paris-Nice, the Tour of Romandie and The Criterium du Dauphine in the same season.
Wiggins, who will ride with Team Sky, is attempting to become the first British rider to win the Tour de France. His best finish at the Tour came in 2009 when he came in fourth. This time, he avoided declaring himself the favorite, instead pointing to defending Tour de France champion Cadel Evans.
"I still think Cadel is the man to beat,'' Wiggins said, according to the Associated Press. "He was the winner last year, he's a good time trialist, a good climber, he can win sprints on small mountains, so he without doubt is still the man to beat for this year's Tour.''

Mohave County Sheriff's deputies arrested a wanted felon in the 2300 block of Highway 66 on Monday.
Deputies say they found out where 39-year-old Tiffany Michelle Parkins would be and took her into custody.
Deputies asked Parkins if she had any drugs on her and she told them no. They later found marijuana and three pills on her. They say she is a known drug user.
Parkins was booked into jail and faces felony charges of possession of dangerous drugs, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, promoting prison contraband and a parole violation issued out of Arizona Department of Corrections. She faces a misdemeanor charge for failure to pay fines issued by Kingman Justice Court.

OUR ROOM: Large interior--small but had nice bath & shower, large very comfortable king bed. Many mirrors. Nice feature--in bath bathroom light stayed on all the time at low wattage. Closet space adequate, storage for suitcases under the bed. Approximately 26" Samsung flat screen TV, limited programs but useful for reviewing sea pass account and information & messages.
RESTAURANTS: PARK CAFE: our lunch favorite-great salad, variety of sandwiches & desserts, not a lot of seating, best used when ship is in port. JOHNNY ROCKETS: free at breakfast only, nice experience, outdoors & limited inside (A/C) seating, loved the oldies while eating breakfast. SOLARIUM: "healthy" menu, none the less good food, selection, a good alternative. WINDJAMMER: Frequently busy but waiters assist in finding open tables. Quality & variety fine, not the horror show I read about or expected to find. SORRENTOS: in the promenade--coffee & water & pizza here and was good, handy to use. MAIN DINING ROOM: we had assigned seating at 6pm, table of 4 and we liked that, same waiters, same table mates every evening, seated 6-610pm, finished by 730pm without rushing. Variety & quality of food good, no reason to pay to eat elsewhere.
ENTERTAINMENT: This is where the huge ship excels. Make sure you reserve prior to boarding, your reservation is held until 10 mins prior to showtime then standbys are admitted. Sea pass card is scanned for entry. The song & dance shows are outstanding, the divers & acrobats outstanding, the bands, the comedy. Do not miss any of the shows, never had we experienced this level of talent on prior cruises. Our favorite; the diving show in the aqua theatre. One note: Cruise Director Richard Spacey (outstanding as we were told)finished his tour on our cruise--his will be big shoes to fill. SHIP THOUGHTS GOOD & BAD: love the welcome feeling from the staff. Ship is very clean to include the public bathrooms. Always something to do, all ages, all interests, could not do it all. Love the way events/activities always start on time as scheduled. One big plus: interactive TV screens throughout the ship, shows you where you are & "map it" button to find how to get to destination. Also there are screens that dispaly restaurants-locations, hours open, and occupancy percentage in real time. Amazing, a great feature for a huge ship. We took two very enjoyable tours--the landscape tour by the manager and the art tour; both were very interesting. BAD: the ship is huge, plot your route or you will walk your legs off. Internet--65 cents/minute; drinks - alcohol,non-alcohol - expensive plus the mandatory 15% tip, watch for 20% off sales to save, they are frequent. The casino--1/2 is non smoking but we found machines tight. Bingo - $32.00 for 4 games, $8/game, nope, too expensive. Promenade-can get crowded, lots of sales, if you ever needed a watch this is your chance. PASSENGERS: Estimate a median age of 50, percentage of children 5-10%, people from all over on this cruise, many different languages being spoken.
DISEMBARKATION: We elected the express departure. On Saturday, our last day, the ship had docked by 515am when we awoke. Breakfast at the windjammer (opened at 530) 545-610am. Not too busy or crowded. Left our room with luggage at 625am on deck 7, wound up in a long line on deck 5 but within 5 minutes the line began to move and we were off the ship, through customs at 650am, cab to the airport, arriving FLL at 705am. 40 minutes from leaving the room to being at the airport. REMARKABLE !! Credit to RCL for placing their people to keep the lines moving. Arrived too early to check our bags, (Southwest allows 4 hours early maximum for bag checking), our flight was at 1150am, through security and at the gate by 805am. One note if going to the airport; you may elect to pay a flat rate (I think $11 each) or the cab, I had read $10 to the airport for 2 people so we took the cab. Our driver missed 1 light & that added $2 to the meter before we moved. Our total $16.90+tip & we were dropped at the nearest FLL terminal so consider the flat rate option. Really enjoyed the appearance & amenities of the huge ship, feel it is worth doing one time but probably will not do again as it is limited to the Caribbean and 7 day sailings. Being from Phoenix we prefer cool weather itineraries. We took this cruise only to experience the Oasis. We did book our next cruise while on board to get the on board credit and reduced deposit, did it on day two of the cruise, if you wait until the end there are lines.

Love this little guy
What an adorable little bear. You'll fall in love with him at first glance and so will your little one...or in my case ones. My two and three year old just loved him and tried to snag him (a Christmas gift for their baby brother). My husband especially enjoyed the fishing theme. As he enjoys fishing with his boys. I loved the fact the lullabye was sweet, soft, natural and played a LONG time. This is perfect for me to store in my diaper bag and give to him while we are out...instead of those obnoixious singing stroller toys that play for all of 10 seconds. We all love this and so will your little one! Or, in our case all our little ones.

Our son was a patient of Dr. Bruce Reitz at Stanford Hospital in 1995. He received a heart valve in a procedure called the "Ross Procedure." At the time it was fairly uncommon, so we "went for the best doctor" we could find after much research. We were so happy when we discovered Dr. Reitz at Stanford who had succeeded Dr. Norman Shumway. Dr. Shumway had performed surgery on our son as an infant. Our son is now thirty years old and is married with a bright future, even after suffering thyroid cancer and other health problems. We will always be grateful for Dr. Reitz and his expertise and wonderful nature. Many children have been blessed by this doctor who we believe was sent to us by God. If possible, please forward our comments to Dr. Reitz. Thank you!

There's no rest for the weary in the NBA Playoffs, as the LA Lakers have to travel to Oklahoma City to play the Thunder on Monday night, only two days after their dramatic Game 7 home victory over the Denver Nuggets.
Much of the intrigue surrounding the game will revolve around Metta World Peace, who made headlines by declaring he wouldn't shake hands with James Harden despite nearly decapitating him with an elbow in their last encounter.
Oklahoma City, with one of the loudest and most boisterous crowds in the NBA, will undoubtedly be ready for the Lakers.
LA will have to withstand an early surge from the Thunder, who will be looking to turn the tables and avenge a 2010 first-round defeat.
The faster the pace of the game the better it will be for Oklahoma City, as it has a clear edge in athleticism at nearly every position on the floor.
The 9:30 p.m. Eastern game will be broadcast nationally on TNT.
For more coverage of both teams, check out Welcome To Loud City and Silver Screen And Roll.

Well… as you can gather from other reviews, opinions on Act III are pretty erratic… some love it and the rest don't get the point. Rather than put out another Ultra Violence and imitate themselves, Death Angel incorporated more "accessible" song structures and the occasional funk bassline into their thrizzash on Act III, which I believe to be their finest hour. There is plenty of thrash riffage abound, as songs like Stop and (my fav) Seemingly Endless Time prove. The songwriting is about 2,000 steps up from their old stuff, and Mark Osgueda seriously never sounded better. Excellent production, too. For Death Angel virgins, they were an incredibly young band that played bay area thrash w/ clean vocals ala Flotsam and Jetsam… around Act III they had matured (think Thrax on Persistence of Time). Veil of Deception and Room With A View add a mellow flavor, the former being an excellent latin acoustic piece which manages to be quite brooding in spite of it's flamenco trappings. Discontinued is the song that will blow the puny minds of most metalheads, with it's slapped funk bass lines and frenetic riffing that recalls Primus in their prime. Overall an excellent, diverse album that will keep the listener interested throughout. Standouts: the organization, seemingly endless time, veil of deception, discontinued
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Death Angel was one of the casualties of the grunge movement. They had just been signed to Geffen for this CD & Geffen's priority of Nirvana resulted in the death of Death Angel. It was rumored that Geffen was looking to market Death Angel as "D.A.," which probably would have ended the same way. This album shows significant growth from stylistic tracks such as the acoustic "Veil Of Deception" and the hard and heavy tracks like "Seemingly Endless Time," and "Stop." This is a great example of what would have been the future of metal in the 1990s. If you enjoy this spend the money for the box set that has their first 2 CDs (Ultra-Violence & Frolic Through The Park) with bonus tracks and unreleased tracks. You won't be disappointed. The box was produced by Metallica's Kirk Hammett. Death Angel's 2004 release "Art Of Dying" is also recommended.
If anyone listened to "Frolic" & then "Act III", the listener would know what a quantum leap Death Angel made between these records. "Seemingly Endless Time" is a thrash masterpiece as well as the "A Room With A View" showing the advanced musicianship of these guys. Too bad this band isn't around today. They could show us what real music was all about. If anyone picks up this record and enjoys it, I highly recommend getting Death Angel's follow up to this album when they changed the band name to "The Organization" (CD Title same)
This album is at the top of my chart next to "Master of Puppets" (Metallica), "Among the Living" (Anthrax), and "Rust in Peace" (Megadeth). What I like about this album (and Death Angel in general) is the diversity, energy, and virtuosity of the band! Mark's vocals, Rob and Gus' killer guitar work, Denis's (funky at times) base lines, and Andy Galeon awesome drumming blend very well on each of the songs creating a true master piece.If you are into rock, heavy metal, punk, and thrash, don't miss this album!-Akips. All Death Angel fans, get ready for "SWARM"! (Mark, Rob, Andy, and their new base player Mike). I saw them perform last week and they were awesome! I almost had a heart attack when I heard them play the intro to the "Ultra-Violence" and the songs "Seemingly Endlees Time," "Veil of Deception," and "Stagnant" live… Their new stuff is also great! Spread the word!!! SWARM!
4 1/2 stars. Death Angel should get together with King's X and headline the "cult metal bands that don't deserve to scrape the budget bins of your record store tour." I remember not liking this album as much as _Frolic Through The Park_ but revisiting it with a older, wiser and more open pair of ears I had to wonder what the hell my reservations were. Although its more refined than either of the other two DA albums, it boasts immaculate production, excellent and interesting songwriting and composing, mind-blowing musicianship. "Veil of Deception" and "A Room With a View" show a calmer, more textured side of what was essentially a really heavy thrash band. "Falling Asleep" is a great closer, and the mind-blowing hybrid funk-thrash of "Discontinued" is an insane example of an over-talented band just going balls out and laying the smack down. * If you liked this album, BTW, you should hunt down both of the albums by "The Organization S.F." which are still in print on Metal Blade records. Same lineup here without the venerable Mark Oseguda, and sporting a more refined, melodic and funky attack than DA.

More than 100 vendors set up in Downtown Jenks for the Herb and Plant Festival.

"We're talking about education and beautification, and what this festival does, it promotes both," Migliore says.

A row of signs advertising traits such as respect, honesty and responsibility now line Massachusetts Avenue, a main thouroughfare into the downtown area.
CES counselor Sandra Courington said the plan is to leave the signs up through graduation and put them out again when school starts in August.
Eventually, she hopes the school can raise enough funds to replace the signs with banners.
The character education program at CES is called "Champions of Character."
It is based on a statewide program called "Character @ Heart," which includes a list of 25 traits that educators incorporate into their lesson plans.
"We have been talking about how we want character to be something that is done outside of school to help your community," Courington said.
Some of the ideas that students have been discussing with Courington include starting a recycling program and reaching out to the city's many senior citizens.
Mayor Drew Gilbert and Councilwoman Lauren Vance helped the group of fourth graders set up the signs Friday morning.
The City Council voted in October to become a city of character.
The resolution encouraged local leaders to "educate and promote character development ... for the purpose of creating and preserving a community that is known for valuing the worth and contribution of each person to the effective operation of a family, system or organization."

About 200 yards past the entrance, just after the "corridor" (with Celestial Mechanics and Tristar), the trail will head way down into a stream bed.

It was another dead end for crews searching for that missing Malaysia Airlines jet. Helicopters and ships spotted what looked like a life raft but it turned out to be moss-covered trash.
More than two dozen aircraft and 40 ships from several countries have joined in on the search.
So far, search crews haven't been able to find any piece of the missing Boeing 777.
The mystery behind the plane's disappearance has led to lots of speculation, including whether it might have disintegrated in mid-air.
Joining "Good Day Philadelphia" on Monday morning to talk about the case was aviation attorney Andy Stern.

Eighty-five percent of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of this disease, which is why mammograms are so important. New advances in detection and reconstruction surgery are helping more women survive and look and feel more comfortable about themselves again.
Monette Gilding, 67, is a breast cancer survivor who hasn't lost her sense of humor.
"One stop shop. One cuts, the other one pops," she laughs.
She's joking about surgeons who performed both her double mastectomy and the reconstructive surgery that immediately followed. She even calls her new breasts 'an upgrade.'
"It was okay with me. I mean, I have big boobs," Gilding chuckles.
Surgeon Laura Peterson says breast cancer patients have far more options than they used to. For instance, new 3-D technology called breast tomo-synthesis is helping to vastly improve mammograms.
"It helps, especially women with dense breasts or very nodular breasts," explains Dr. Peterson. "It helps keep them from getting called back for more (mammogram) pictures."
Peterson says extra images produced in the breast tomo-synthesis may have already helped save lives.
"We have found a couple of cancers that we think probably would not have been found on routine mammograms, but with the 3-D processing, we can scroll through and pinpoint a spot very much more clearly," she explains.
Advances in lumpectomies have also helped prevent whole breast removal. Nipple-sparing mastectomies have improved, as has breast reconstruction - which now causes less scarring and is more natural.
Monette Gilding has advice for fellow survivors and patients.

WASHINGTON, DC -- The closures of 149 regional airport control towers due to be shut down this weekend have been placed on hold until June 15.
That includes the tower at Central Illinois Regional Airport in Bloomington. FAA officials said the delay should give communities more time to decide if they can assume financial responsibility for operating the towers.
In a statement, CIRA Executive Director Carl Olson said while they are pleased with the announcement they plan to continue in their legal action against the FAA. The Bloomington-Normal Airport Authority is also negotiating with private air traffic control services and reviewing alternative funding for tower operations.
The FAA said the shutdowns are necessary in order to reach the $637 million in budget cuts they were obligated to make under the sequester.

In the first half of Sunday's game, the Baltimore Ravens were forcing mistakes out of the Pittsburgh Steelers and making them pay for them. The second half couldn't have been any more different for the Ravens, who dropped easy catches and gave away the ball throughout the third and fourth quarters. The Steelers made the most of it to come from behind and win in front of their Heinz Field faithful, 31-24.
Semi-blown coverage allowed Ben Roethlisberger to launch a deep throw in the fourth quarter and put his Steelers in position for the go-ahead touchdown. A dropped pass by Ravens receiver Anquan Boldin in the end zone was easily catchable. On the last meaningful play of the game, T.J. Houshmandzadeh dropped an easy Joe Flacco pass that would have kept his team alive. The team surrendered three second-half turnovers. It was a profound meltdown for Baltimore, who led 21-7 on the road at halftime.
Meanwhile, the Steelers, who had a listless first half, relied on big plays and a loud stadium to pull momentum back in their direction. They will move on to face the winner of Sunday's Jets-Patriots game in the AFC Championship.

JetBlue flight from Logan makes emergency landing in Philly
A JetBlue flight heading to Baltimore from Boston made an emergency landing in Philadelphia on Sunday evening when smoke was smelled in the cabin.
JetBlue Airways flight 827, which took off from Logan Airport at 4:40 pm, landed safely shortly before 6 p.m. at Philadelphia International Airport, Victoria Lupica, a spokeswoman for the airport, told the Boston Globe.
The 95 passengers and 4 members of the flight's crew were safely evacuated from the plane onto the runway, and were able to get a later JetBlue flight from Philadelphia to Baltimore.
The decision to make an emergency landing was made with "an abundance of caution" after the crew reported "an odor of smoke" in the cabin.
One passenger told FOX 29 in Philadelphia that the passengers were very concerned once they noticed the odor of smoke.
"You don't know how it's going to end, so you don't want to psyche yourself out – should I turn on my phone and call my parents?" passenger Laura-Chase McGehee said.
Mechanics were fully evaluating the situation as of Sunday evening.

Key Facts About Seasonal Flu Vaccine
Visit What You Should Know for the 2014-2015 Influenza Season for flu and flu vaccine information specific to the 2014-15 flu season.
Flu Vaccination
Why should people get vaccinated against the flu?
Influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. Every flu season is different, and influenza infection can affect people differently. Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu and spread it to others. Over a period of 31 seasons between 1976 and 2007, estimates of flu-associated deaths in the United States range from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people. During a regular flu season, about 90 percent of deaths occur in people 65 years and older. The "seasonal flu season" in the United States can begin as early as October and last as late as May.
During this time, flu viruses are circulating in the population. An annual seasonal flu vaccine (either the flu shot or the nasal-spray flu vaccine) is the best way to reduce the chances that you will get seasonal flu and spread it to others. When more people get vaccinated against the flu, less flu can spread through that community.
How do flu vaccines work?
Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body about two weeks after vaccination. These antibodies provide protection against infection with the viruses that are in the vaccine.
The seasonal flu vaccine protects against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season. Traditional flu vaccines (called trivalent vaccines) are made to protect against three flu viruses; an influenza A (H1N1) virus, an influenza A (H3N2) virus, and an influenza B virus. In addition, there are flu vaccines made to protect against four flu viruses (called "quadrivalent" vaccines). These vaccines protect against the same viruses as the trivalent vaccine as well as an additional B virus.
What kinds of flu vaccines are available?
There are several flu vaccine options for the 2014-2015 flu season.
Traditional flu vaccines made to protect against three different flu viruses (called "trivalent" vaccines) are available. In addition, flu vaccines made to protect against four different flu viruses (called "quadrivalent" vaccines) also are available.
Trivalent flu vaccine protects against two influenza A viruses (an H1N1 and an H3N2) and an influenza B virus. The following trivalent flu vaccines are available:
- Standard dose trivalent shots (IIV3) that are manufactured using virus grown in eggs. These are approved for people ages 6 months and older. There are different brands of standard dose trivalent shot, and each is approved for different ages.
- A standard dose intradermal trivalent shot, which is injected into the skin instead of the muscle and uses a much smaller needle than the regular flu shot, approved for people 18 through 64 years of age.
- A high-dose trivalent shot, approved for people 65 and older.
- A standard dose trivalent shot containing virus grown in cell culture, which is approved for people 18 and older.
- A standard dose trivalent shot that is egg-free, approved for people 18 through 49 years of age.
The quadrivalent flu vaccine protects against two influenza A viruses and two influenza B viruses. The following quadrivalent flu vaccines are available:
- A standard dose quadrivalent flu shot.
- A standard dose quadrivalent nasal spray, approved for healthy* people 2 through 49 years of age (recommended preferentially for healthy children 2 to 8 years old when immediately available and there are no contraindications or precautions).
(*"Healthy" indicates persons who do not have an underlying medical condition that predisposes them to influenza complications.)
Are any of the available flu vaccines recommended over others?
CDC has not expressed a preference for which flu vaccine people should get this season except for one: Starting in 2014-2015, CDC recommends use of the nasal spray vaccine for healthy* children 2 through 8 years of age when it is immediately available and if the child has no contraindications or precautions to that vaccine. If the nasal spray vaccine is not immediately available and the flu shot is, vaccination should not be delayed and a flu shot should be given. For more information about the new CDC recommendation, see Nasal Spray Flu Vaccine in Children 2 through 8 Years Old or the 2014-2015 MMWR Influenza Vaccine Recommendations.
While there will be more than one vaccine option for many people to choose from, including high-dose vaccine, intradermal vaccine and the regular flu shot, the only preferential recommendation is for the nasal spray vaccine for healthy* children 2 to 8 years of age when it is immediately available. The most important thing is for all people 6 months and older to get a flu vaccine every year. If you have questions about which vaccine is best for you, talk to your health care professional.
Who should get vaccinated this season?
Everyone who is at least 6 months of age should get a flu vaccine this season. This recommendation has been in place since February 24, 2010 when CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted for "universal" flu vaccination in the United States to expand protection against the flu to more people.
While everyone should get a flu vaccine this season, it's especially important for some people to get vaccinated.
Those people include the following:
- People who are at high risk of developing serious complications (like pneumonia) if they get sick with the flu.
- People who have certain medical conditions including asthma, diabetes, and chronic lung disease.
- Pregnant women.
- People younger than 5 years (and especially those younger than 2), and people 65 years and older.
- A complete list is available at People Who Are at High Risk of Developing Flu-Related Complications.
- People who live with or care for others who are at high risk of developing serious complications (see list above).
- Household contacts and caregivers of people with certain medical conditions including asthma, diabetes, and chronic lung disease.
- Household contacts and caregivers of infants younger than 6 months old.
- Health care personnel.
More information is available at Who Should Get Vaccinated Against Influenza.
Special Consideration Regarding Egg Allergy:
People who have ever had a severe allergic reaction to eggs may be advised not to get vaccinated. People who have had a mild reaction to egg—that is, one which only involved hives—may receive a flu shot with additional precautions. Make sure your health care provider knows about any allergic reactions. Most, but not all, types of flu vaccine contain small amount of egg.
Who Should Not Be Vaccinated?
Influenza vaccine is not approved for children younger than 6 months of age.
People who have had a severe allergic reaction to influenza vaccine should generally not be vaccinated.
There are some people who should not get a flu vaccine without first consulting a physician.
These include:
- People who have a moderate-to-severe illness with or without a fever (they should wait until they recover to get vaccinated), and
- People with a history of Guillain–Barré Syndrome (a severe paralytic illness, also called GBS) that occurred after receiving influenza vaccine and who are not at risk for severe illness from influenza should generally not receive vaccine. Tell your doctor if you ever had Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Your doctor will help you decide whether the vaccine is recommended for you.
When should I get vaccinated?
Flu vaccination should begin soon after vaccine becomes available, ideally by October. However, as long as flu viruses are circulating, vaccination should continue to be offered throughout the flu season, even in January or later. While seasonal influenza outbreaks can happen as early as October, most of the time influenza activity peaks in January or later. Since it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body that protect against influenza virus infection, it is best that people get vaccinated so they are protected before influenza begins spreading in their community.
Flu vaccine is produced by private manufacturers, so availability depends on when production is completed. Shipments began in late July and August and will continue throughout September and October until all vaccine is distributed.Top of Page
Where can I get a flu vaccine?
Flu vaccines are offered in many locations, including doctor's offices, clinics, health departments, pharmacies and college health centers, as well as by many employers, and even in some schools.
Even if you don't have a regular doctor or nurse, you can get a flu vaccine somewhere else, like a health department, pharmacy, urgent care clinic, and often your school, college health center, or work.
The following Vaccine Locator is a useful tool for finding vaccine in your area.
Why do I need a flu vaccine every year?
A flu vaccine is needed every season for two reasons. First, the body's immune response from vaccination declines over time, so an annual vaccine is needed for optimal protection. Second, because flu viruses are constantly changing, the formulation of the flu vaccine is reviewed each year and sometimes updated to keep up with changing flu viruses. For the best protection, everyone 6 months and older should get vaccinated annually.
Does flu vaccine work right away?
No. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against influenza virus infection. That's why it's better to get vaccinated early in the fall, before the flu season really gets under way.
Can I get seasonal flu even though I got a flu vaccine this year?
Yes. There is still a possibility you could get the flu even if you got vaccinated. The ability of flu vaccine to protect a person depends on various factors, including the age and health status of the person being vaccinated, and also the similarity or "match" between the viruses used to make the vaccine and those circulating in the community. If the viruses in the vaccine and the influenza viruses circulating in the community are closely matched, vaccine effectiveness is higher. If they are not closely matched, vaccine effectiveness can be reduced. However, it's important to remember that even when the viruses are not closely matched, the vaccine can still protect many people and prevent flu-related complications. Such protection is possible because antibodies made in response to the vaccine can provide some protection (called cross-protection) against different but related influenza viruses.

Vaccine Effectiveness
Influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) can vary from year to year and among different age and risk groups. For more information about vaccine effectiveness, visit How Well Does the Seasonal Flu Vaccine Work? For information specific to this season, visit About the Current Flu Season.
Vaccine Benefits
What are the benefits of flu vaccination?
While how well the flu vaccine works can vary, there are a lot of reasons to get a flu vaccine each year.
- Flu vaccination can keep you from getting sick from flu. Protecting yourself from flu also protects the people around you who are more vulnerable to serious flu illness.
- Flu vaccination can help protect people who are at greater risk of getting seriously ill from flu, like older adults, people with chronic health conditions and young children (especially infants younger than 6 months old who are too young to get vaccinated).
- Flu vaccination also may make your illness milder if you do get sick.
- Flu vaccination can reduce the risk of more serious flu outcomes, like hospitalizations and deaths.
- A recent study* showed that flu vaccine reduced children's risk of flu-related pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission by 74% during flu seasons from 2010-2012.
- One study showed that flu vaccination was associated with a 71% reduction in flu-related hospitalizations among adults of all ages and a 77% reduction among adults 50 years of age and older during the 2011-2012 flu season.
- Flu vaccination is an important preventive tool for people with chronic health conditions. Vaccination was associated with lower rates of some cardiac events among people with heart disease, especially among those who had had a cardiac event in the past year. Flu vaccination also has been shown to be associated with reduced hospitalizations among people with diabetes (79%) and chronic lung disease (52%).
- Vaccination helps protect women during pregnancy and their babies for up to 6 months after they are born. One study showed that giving flu vaccine to pregnant women was 92% effective in preventing hospitalization of infants for flu.
- Other studies have shown that vaccination can reduce the risk of flu-related hospitalizations in older adults. A study that looked at flu vaccine effectiveness over the course of three flu seasons estimated that flu vaccination lowered the risk of hospitalizations by 61% in people 50 years of age and older.
*The Influenza Vaccine Benefits fact sheet includes references for the information listed above.
Vaccine Match
Will this season's vaccine be a good match for circulating viruses?
It's not possible to predict with certainty which flu viruses will predominate during a given season. Over the course of a flu season, CDC studies samples of flu viruses circulating during that season to evaluate how close a match there is between viruses used to make the vaccine and circulating viruses. Data are published in the weekly FluView. In addition, CDC conducts studies each year to determine how well the vaccine protects against illness during that season. The results of these studies are typically published following the conclusion of the flu season and take into consideration all of the data collected during the season. Interim studies also may be conducted that provide preliminary estimates of the vaccine's benefits that season using data available at that time. For more information, see Vaccine Effectiveness – How Well Does the Flu Vaccine Work?
Flu viruses are constantly changing (called "antigenic drift") – they can change from one season to the next or they can even change within the course of one flu season. Experts must pick which viruses to include in the vaccine many months in advance in order for vaccine to be produced and delivered on time. (For more information about the vaccine virus selection process visit Selecting the Viruses in the Influenza (Flu) Vaccine.) Because of these factors, there is always the possibility of a less than optimal match between circulating viruses and the viruses in the vaccine.
Can the vaccine provide protection even if the vaccine is not a "good" match?
Yes, antibodies made in response to vaccination with one flu virus can sometimes provide protection against different but related viruses. A less than ideal match may result in reduced vaccine effectiveness against the virus that is different from what is in the vaccine, but it can still provide some protection against influenza illness.
In addition, even when there is a less than ideal match or lower effectiveness against one virus, it's important to remember that the flu vaccine may protect against the other flu viruses included in the vaccine.
For these reasons, even during seasons when there is a less than ideal match, CDC continues to recommend flu vaccination. This is particularly important for people at high risk for serious flu complications, and their close contacts.Top of Page
Vaccine Side Effects (What to Expect)
Can the flu vaccine give me the flu?
No, a flu vaccine cannot cause flu illness. Flu vaccines that are administered with a needle are currently made in two ways: the vaccine is made either with a) flu vaccine viruses that have been 'inactivated' and are therefore not infectious, or b) with no flu vaccine viruses at all (which is the case for recombinant influenza vaccine). The nasal spray flu vaccine does contain live viruses. However, the viruses are attenuated (weakened), and therefore cannot cause flu illness. The weakened viruses are cold-adapted, which means they are designed to only cause infection at the cooler temperatures found within the nose. The viruses cannot infect the lungs or other areas where warmer temperatures exist.
Different side effects can be associated with the flu shot and nasal spray flu vaccines. These side effects are mild and short-lasting, especially when compared to symptoms of influenza infection.
The flu shot: The viruses in the flu shot are killed (inactivated), so you cannot get the flu from a flu shot. Some minor side effects that could occur are:
- Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given
- Fever (low grade)
- Aches
The nasal spray: The viruses in the nasal spray vaccine are weakened and do not cause severe symptoms often associated with influenza illness. In children, side effects from the nasal spray can include:
- Runny nose
- Wheezing
- Headache
- Vomiting
- Muscle aches
- Fever
In adults, side effects from the nasal spray vaccine can include
- Runny nose
- Headache
- Sore throat
- Cough
If these problems occur, they begin soon after vaccination and are mild and short-lived. Almost all people who receive influenza vaccine have no serious problems from it. However, on rare occasions, flu vaccination can cause serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. People who think that they have been injured by the flu shot can file a claim for compensation from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
More information about the safety of flu vaccines is available at Influenza Vaccine Safety.Top of Page
Vaccine Supply and Distribution
How much vaccine will be available during 2013-2014?
Vaccine manufacturers now estimate 138-145 million doses of influenza vaccine will be produced for the U.S. market this season. (This is an increase from their initial estimate of 135-139 million.) An estimated 30 million to 32 million of these doses will be quadrivalent flu vaccine. The rest will be trivalent flu vaccine.
Where can I find information about vaccine supply?
Information about vaccine supply is available on the CDC influenza web site.
Why do manufacturers and distributors take a phased approach to vaccine distribution?
Influenza vaccine production begins as early as 6-9 months before the beginning of vaccine distribution. Even with this early start, it isn't possible to complete the entire production and distribution process prior to flu season, particularly given the limited number of influenza vaccine manufacturing plants in the United States and the large number of doses that are produced each year. Instead, influenza vaccine distribution takes place in a phased fashion over a number of months. It begins in late summer for some manufacturers and vaccine products and usually completes near the end of November or early in December. This system can leave doctors and other vaccine providers with uncertainty about when they can expect to receive their full order of vaccine and can make it difficult for them to plan their vaccination activities. Manufacturers and distributors try to get some vaccine to as many providers as possible as early as possible so that they can begin vaccinating their patients.
What role does the Department of Health and Human Services play in the supply and distribution of the seasonal influenza vaccine?
Influenza vaccine production and distribution are primarily private sector endeavors. The Department of Health and Human Services and CDC do not have the authority to control influenza vaccine distribution nor the resources to manage such an effort. However, the Department has made significant efforts to enhance production capacity of seasonal influenza vaccines, including supporting manufacturers as they invest in processes to stabilize and increase their production capacity.

NRA's Response to Sandy Hook Massacre: Armed Guards?
Original post made by Sam on Dec 22, 2012
Here's the perspective of a US Special Forces soldier on the NRA's solution:
In the immediate aftermath of the Sandy Hook massacre, a friend of mine who was a longtime Special Forces operator before he was wounded in Afghanistan summarized in an online posting the general position of the NRA and its supporters: "If everyone had a gun, people would be able to kill a shooter before he caused too much mayhem."
The operator also offered a highly skilled and experienced good guy's view of this notion:
"This, simply put, is bullshit," he wrote. "There are people who train night and day to be good at shooting bad guys in situations where there are innocents in close proximity and even those people screw up because a gunfight is not a shooting range. People are dying and screaming and there is blood and all that silly shit you 'think' you're going to do goes right out the window when you are in that crazy environment."
He further tendered his opinion of the high-capacity magazines that the NRA has fought so hard to keep on the market.
"There is no reason for a noncombatant citizen of our country to have a weapon that can shoot 30 rounds of ammunition. I have been in many gunfights in 'bona fide' war-zones and only a few times did I have to use that many bullets. If you are a hunter or a sports shooter, you don't need a 30-round magazine to do either of those things."

The schools would be safer from an attacker with an armed guard.They would be even safer with 2 special forces at every school.They would be safer yet with 5 marines posted at every school.
How about shopping malls,churches and restaurants?This could solve our unemployment problem.Set up some training programs and we can have armed guards on every street corner!
I am really starting to worry about the future of our country with so many people in elected office that have zero ability to be rational and compromise on anything along with the idiots in society that think they need and have a right to assault rifles.When our founding fathers who they all worship wrote the second amendment they had muskets not rapid fire killing machines, but it is too difficult for many to grasp the difference between then and now.Give me a break.

Hoops, the government ALSO has muskets in 1700s. THE people were equal to the government. So the government was not / is not greater than the governed.
I don't believe anybody said anything about a guard. Just that some adult teacher or admin or both, any who are properly trained and wants to defend themselves and others, has the right the shoot the bad guy in the shoulder or gut and distract & harm the perp allowing others to call or hide, most of all not get to 20 kids. The perp should be kept guessing....like the air marshalls on planes... hearby to prevent a problem from turning into a mass slaughter. How good it would have been if there were undercover in plain clothes in the planes on 9-11, maybe one shooting, but no mass problme. The plain clothes person could be any school personnel, who is trained. Any adult should be free to defend themselves....not a sitting duck. Every large building in every large city has had paid guards for several decades, since that 55 California street office employee who went wacko. Laws are for law abiding people, not mentally ill or law breakers. There is NO way to fix the mentally ill (mind altering prescriptions) or law BREAKER issues. There are other issues than guns that cannot be controlled, i.e. mental illness, prescribed drugs, etc.

The government had muskets too so the people and the government were equal in the 1700's?The govt has missles and drones and F16's today so are the people equal because they have an assault rifle?With all do respect that is a ridiculous statemant
You cannot prevent an incident like Sandy Hook unless you get lucky.We have how many tens of thousands of schools and there have been how many shootings in our history??Now we over react and want to arm everyone to stop a potential what, 1 in a million occurance from happening?
Ban the weapons and create stiff penalties for anyone owning one and you at least reduce the risk of another Sandy Hook as well as many other incidents.THERE IS NO REASON to own that type of weapon and that cannot be disputed by a rational human being.
Unfortunately we live in a dangerous world and sometimes a nut is going to do something horrible,but you cannot arm people in all public places and think that the world is now safe.
Even if you had a school employee that had a firearm,what are the odds that he would be able to do anything to stop a Sandy Hook.Say Mr.Jones is a teacher and is in his classroom and hears shots being fired somewhere on campus.He will be reacting long after people are killed and the odds of him at that point overtaking a heavily armed attacker are what?We are not talking a green beret but a lightly trained guy with a pistol trying to take out someone with an assault rifle.It is ridiculous.

---- — Protecting the Second
CTN body text:In 1787, after a terrible American Revolution was fought and won, our Forefathers began deliberations in a Constitutional Convention to create a plan detailing how the US government would operate. These Founding Fathers were people from all walks of life with the admiration of those they represented. Ordinary respected people in extraordinary times created a masterpiece and the future greatest nation on earth.
They took lessons from history; from English and French philosophers, lawyers, politicians, statesmen, and the Iroquois nation. The colonists' experiences with repression were considered. Several of the Bill of Rights' Amendments were a direct response to tyrannical actions ordered by King George.
Our Forefathers understood that their Revolution was only successful because the common people owned weapons equal with the British soldiers they fought. If our Forefathers had fought England using crossbows or matchlock muskets, we might still be under English rule today. Our Forefathers felt so strongly about this guard against tyranny that they enshrined this guarantee for future generations as the Second Amendment to the Constitution. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
The US Supreme Court agreed with this interpretation in 1939 with United States v. Miller (307 U.S. 174). Miller was charged with violating the National Firearms Act of 1934 with a shotgun with barrel length less than 18 inches. The government prosecutor's argument stated:
- The Second Amendment protects only the ownership of military-type weapons appropriate for use in an organized militia.
- A "shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches" was never used in any militia organization.
The Supreme Court interpreted the Second Amendment as an individual's right to bear arms of military-type: "In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a 'shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length' at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument."
The wording of the Second Amendment, the government's argument, and the US Supreme Court's decision agree with the individual's right to bear arms of "military-type" which today would include assault rifles and high capacity magazines.
With the current Administration's push against this Second Amendment interpretation, I wrote to our Senators and Representatives. Senator Shaheen showed a lack of understanding of what it's about:
"I am a strong supporter of an individual's right to bear arms for hunting and self-defense, and I believe our tradition of gun ownership can be respected while also ensuring that our cities and towns, schools and public buildings remain safe. I have supported these rights throughout my career, and I will continue to be an advocate for responsible firearm use while a member of the U.S. Senate."
The Second Amendment IS NOT about hunting or personal self-defense. It's recognition of the people's right to defend their freedom against tyranny with military-type arms. Shouldn't a Senator understand this? The Senatorial Oath of Office states:
"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…"
While she may feel that the US no longer needs a militia of citizens equipped with military-type arms, this is still the highest Law of the Land. However, there is a mechanism within the Constitution such that she can uphold her Oath while pursuing her goals and the desires of her voters.
The Constitution can be changed. Creating a law ignoring an Amendment is an illegitimate answer. Constitutional change requires a proposed Amendment be passed by a two-thirds majority in both Houses of Congress. Then, the proposed Amendment is put to the individual states. Once three quarters of the states pass it, it becomes the Law of the Land.
This isn't easy. It's meant to be difficult. But it's been accomplished twenty-seven times. Decisions to change the foundation of our country should not be taken lightly in reaction to individual events or a short term trend. They should be pondered and discussed long and hard, both at the conference table and at the kitchen table.
An assault weapons ban law is an attack on the US Constitution. Subverting the Constitution with a simple majority vote of Congress and no direct input by the people is unlawful. Elected officials pursuing such are neither supporting nor defending the Constitution; they're violating their sworn Oath of Office by attacking it.

Apple Pockets Recipe
- 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (about 2-3 medium)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup milk
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt. In a saucepan, heat the water and butter to 120°-130°. Add to the dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide dough into four portions. Roll each portion into an 8-in. square. Cut into four 4-in. squares. Cut apple slices into thirds; toss with sugar, flour and cinnamon. Place 1/4 cup filling on each square; bring up the corners up over the filling and pinch to seal. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Place 3 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Brush with milk; sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 375° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Discard toothpicks. Yield: 16 servings.

These were very good and surprisingly easy to make. I will use a better baking apple next time so the apples are really soft, but it was still good with some firmness to the apples. I used cinnamon sugar to sprinkle over them after brushing with milk. I think a powdered sugar frosting glaze would also be excellent drizzled over the tops. This is a nice alternative to apple pie and much healthier than my pie recipes! Thanks!
This is a wonderful and easy recipe. My fiance absolutely loves these, it's a tasty treat that is easy to make and won't set you back on calories, yum!
Everyone I have made these for think they are amazing! I add more fall spices and I use more apples. 5 cups works well. I top them with whipped cream or ice cream. Yummy!
This is a family recipe called Apple Prieska. Only we use a pie crust dough instead of a yeast dough. My dad likes to sprinkle it with Brown Sugar.
Wow; these look awesome! However, I still don't deem them to be too healthy, although they are light. Has anyone tried to make these whole wheat? Can you sub the butter with applesauce or oil or something to lower the saturated fats and cholesterol? Maybe, could we reduce the sodium?

More Georgians Settle for Minimum Wage Jobs
Federal statistics show that one of every 10 working Georgians now makes the minimum wage.
An analysis of data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that is triple the proportion when the recession technically ended nearly three years ago.
Recent increases in the minimum wage partly explain the rise, but the percentage of Georgians earning $7.25 an hour -- and in some cases less -- rose to 9.6 last year.
The national figure is 5.2 percent.
The figures suggest that the sluggish economic recovery is not reaching the ranks of the working poor - and may be enlarging them.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- Asian stock markets were dampened by a weak China manufacturing survey Thursday. But Japan gained on the prospect of a stronger dollar after Fed minutes showed policymakers are leaning toward their first rate hike since the 2008 financial crisis.
Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 0.8 percent to 15,575.82 and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 added 0.2 percent to 5,645.70. South Korea's Kospi sank 1.2 percent to 2,047.77 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 0.9 percent to 24,948.59. China's Shanghai Composite was down 0.7 percent to 2,225.44.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Labor Department today will report on the number of people who applied for unemployment benefits last week. In the previous week, more people applied for benefits, though the figure remained near pre-recession levels.
The Conference Board will issue its index of leading economic indicators for July. In June, the index, which is designed to predict the economy's future health, increased for a fifth straight month.
The National Association of Realtors will report on existing-home sales in July. In June, sales rose for a third straight month, lifting the figure to the highest level in eight months.
Freddie Mac reports on average U.S. mortgage rates for this week. Last week, the average for the 30-year loan slipped to 4.12 percent from 4.14 percent the previous week.

HONG KONG (AP) -- A survey says Chinese factory activity expanded in August at a slower rate, suggesting the recovery in the world's No. 2 economy is losing momentum.
The HSBC preliminary purchasing managers' index fell to a three-month low of 50.3 from 51.7 in July.
The index is based on a 100-point scale on which numbers below 50 indicate contraction.
China's economy had been showing signs of revival after a slowdown, with growth edging higher to 7.5 percent in the April-June quarter. But the report on the country's vast manufacturing industry shows the recovery is uneven.
Communist leaders in Beijing have already unveiled small-scale stimulus to bolster growth. HSBC economists said "more policy support is needed to consolidate the recovery."
The final version of the survey is due Sep. 1.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Officials directly familiar with intense private negotiations have told The Associated Press that Bank of America has reached a record settlement of nearly $17 billion with the government. The aim is to resolve a federal investigation into the bank's role in the sale of mortgage-backed securities before the 2008 financial crisis.
One of the officials, who spoke with The Associated Press said the bank will pay $9.65 billion in cash and provide consumer relief valued at $7 billion. The official spoke on grounds of anonymity because the settlement was not scheduled to be announced until Thursday at the earliest.
The deal is the largest settlement arising from the economic meltdown in which millions of Americans lost their homes to foreclosure. It follows agreements in the last year with Citigroup for $7 billion and with JPMorgan Chase & Co. for $13 billion.
Like the Bank of America deal, those settlements were a mixture of hard cash and "credits" for various forms of consumer aid that the banks promised to provide in coming years.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Warren Buffett's company has agreed to an $896,000 penalty for failing to give advance notice to l regulators about a December 2013 investment in wallboard maker USG Corp.
The Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday that Berkshire Hathaway Inc. should have notified the Justice Department before it converted $325 million of senior USG notes it held into 21.4 million shares of the company.
Because Berkshire was already a significant USG shareholder, antitrust laws required it to notify regulators because of the size of the deal. At the end of June, Berkshire held just over 39 million USG shares.
Berkshire did correct its initial filing after the USG investment and clarify that it should have notified officials. But regulators said Berkshire made a similar mistake six months earlier.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina lawmakers have approved legislation they say makes the state the nation's first to address decades of toxic water pollution from residue left behind by coal-burning electricity plants.
The General Assembly on Wednesday approved legislation addressing the problem unmasked six months ago when a coal ash spill from a Duke Energy plant coated 70 miles of the Dan River in gray sludge. The measure goes to Gov. Pat McCrory before becoming law.
Environmentalists say the legislation improved on earlier efforts, but didn't go far enough.
Lawmakers say the measure would reverse a Superior Court judge's ruling that Duke must take "immediate action" to eliminate groundwater contamination that crosses onto a neighboring property.
Environmental attorney Frank Holleman says that will allow Duke to study the problem indefinitely before starting cleanup.
ATLANTA (AP) -- Some customers of The UPS Store may have had their credit and debit card information exposed by a computer virus found on systems at 51 stores in 24 states.
A spokeswoman for UPS says the information includes names, card numbers and postal and email addresses from about 100,000 transactions between Jan. 20 and Aug. 11.
United Parcel Service Inc. said Wednesday that it was among U.S. retailers who got a Department of Homeland Security bulletin about the malware on July 31. The malware is not identified by current anti-virus software.
Spokeswoman Chelsea Lee says the company isn't aware of any fraud related to the attack.

The Beardmore Hotel & Conference Centre was delighted to win at the Scottish Hotel Awards 2012:
History of our site
The NHS National Waiting Times Centre (comprising the Golden Jubilee National Hospital and Beardmore Hotel and Conference Centre) was not the first major undertaking to occupy the north bank of the River Clyde at Dalmuir.
In 1900, William Beardmore, Managing Director of the Parkhead Forge in Glasgow, identified the green field site as suitable for a new shipyard and engine works to complement the products of his Forge. Between 1901 and 1906, he laid out one of the largest shipyards in the UK and marked its opening, in June 1906, with the launch of the battleship HMS Agamemnon for the Royal Navy.
The yard, called the Naval Construction Works, covered nearly 100 acres and during its employment peak in World War One, had a payroll of 13,000 people. A vast range of products were constructed at Dalmuir during the war including ships of all descriptions, aircraft, airships, tanks, guns, shells and mines. After the war, to cover the cessation of armaments production, Beardmore constructed locomotives and steel houses at Dalmuir. However, the depressed years of the 1920s proved to be difficult for William Beardmore and Dalmuir shipyard as it did for many armaments based companies across the UK.
With a vastly reduced requirement for warships and a trickle of merchant orders, the yard became uneconomic. In 1930 the yard closed its gates for the last time. Many of the buildings survived until the 1980s being used in a variety of less attractive roles including making asbestos sheets and shipbreaking. Today, virtually nothing remains to indicate the presence of Beardmore's once great industrial concern. Visitors to the hotel and hospital might want to ponder the fact that they are standing on the ground where once great ships were launched into the Clyde.
Ian Johnston (author: Beardmore Built: The Rise and Fall of a Clydeside Shipyard)
The meeting rooms in the Beardmore have been named after some of the famous vessels built here in Dalmuir, including Agamemnon, Cameronia and Zaza. You can read a short biography of each vessel on a plaque attached to the meeting room.

Two domains pointing to same site. Which domain should I redirect?
My client has two domain names:
Both domains point to exactly the same site.
To avoid the "duplicate content" problem (i.e. two copies of the same site under different urls), I want to permanently redirect one domain to the other.
Problem is, which one?
Should I redirect "smith-berlin.de" to "hairdresser-smith-berlin.de" or the other way round?
Which SEO implications does this decision have?
My current idea is to use "hairdresser-smith-berlin.de" as the main domain, as this would catch more generic traffic, i.e. if someone searches for "hairdesser berlin" (although after reading this thread, I'm not so sure).
Would be grateful for any advice.

The first thing I would say is that it doesn't make a huge amount of difference. Yes, there may be a small benefit to having an exact-match domain name containing keywords, but it isn't a big deal and Google has clamped down on spammers and scammers that were abusing this free lunch before. There are so many other signals that if you're doing other things well, you can get a top ranking with a domain name that is completely meaningless.
As to which of the domains to choose as your primary one, I would suggest looking at the logs and search results, and see which one is more popular and performing better now, and keep that as the primary domain.

Hi Stevie,
I ended up redirecting the shorter domain to the longer one.
Even if it only makes a small difference in the generic search ranking, that's still a bonus.
I couldn't look at the logs, as I'm just making the site and it's not yet online.
Anyway, thanks for your advice, I appreciate it.
It's good to know I'm not overlooking something obvious.
