IN THE PAPERS INTERNATIONAL, 03/12/12: Unrest in Egypt is getting a lot of attention in the international press. According to The Guardian, two years after the revolution, Egypt has reached the exact point it should have tried to avoid. Meanwhile, papers react to last week's UN General Assembly vote to recognise Palestine as a "non-member observer state" and Israel's decision to build new settlements.

In 1777, as the War of Independence escalated, tactics on both sides changed dramatically. Colonists in upstate New York found themselves the targets of attacks from Native Americans who were essentially working as mercenaries for the British. Ordered to create chaos, kill militia and scalp colonists, they spread fear and discord.
One of their apparent victims was Jane McRea, the fiancé of a British loyalist. Jane was abducted in a raid, and most felt that she was scalped by her Indian captors. But some believe that she was accidentally shot by the colonial militia which was trying to save her. Hunting for clues, forensic anthropologists open her grave and find two sets of bones--but no skull!
Aided by DNA analysis, computer facial reconstruction, and historical research, scientists try to resolve questions about her death and the mysteries uncovered in her grave.

Hi everyone,
I am a novice photographer desperately trying to improve.
I have just bought a set of Kenko extension tubes for my Canon EOS 1100D. They allow the lens to still connect to the camera electronicaly so that Autofocus and the like will still work.
HOWEVER, I put them on my camera with my 55-250mm lens and everything is just blurry. I can hear the auto focus working but still cant forus in on anything at all. I've tried with all three rings, or just one, nothing seems to make a difference.
I was (stupidly) under the impression that I could just 'plug and play' as it were, with the extension tubes and that they wouldnt make any difference to the camera apart from to the magnification available.
PLEASE....is there anyone out there that can tell me what I'm doing wrong - I don't want this to be a waste of £150.
thanks so much

Downton Abbey is perfection - the third season does not disappoint and leaves you wishing the fourth season would be in stores tomorrow. Absolutely sumptuous and captivating television viewing for those who love period drama and for those who don't!
This series is awesome, and the DVD got here quick. My son & I are so hooked and I have ordered the next season....
DVD came sealed and played perfectly! I love this show!
Who does not love Downton Abbey. It is so well written and I love at least 99% of the characters. Can hardly wait until the next season starts and I can buy another season from O/S. Anybody who is a DA fan would be remiss by not buying this DVD. I may order another for a present.
I was so disappointed to watch this DVD set. It meant that I was caught up and now have to wait for Season 4 to be released. This has to be one of the best foreign themed series I have ever watched. Each episode leaves the viewer hungry for more.
I am obsessed with Downton Abbey. I now own all three seasons and watch them over and over. Overstock's price was very competitive and I received it quickly.

Sep 5, 2014I could not believe Road to Perdition was as good as it was. Sam Mendes' best movie, even better than American Beauty, and Skyfall (which is amazing that Skyfall didn't top it).
Jan 20, 2013Beautifully shot; I love the way the images almost match the cells in the graphic novel on which it
Dec 13, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A very underrated film. Tom Hanks was the perfect actor for the role. It was a little hard taking him seriously after Forrest Gump. Anyway, the acting was excellent by Jude Law, Paul Newman, Daniel Craig and the rest of them. Great cast too. And because the acting is good so is the directing. My favorite scene was when Tom Hanks took out Paul Newman. Very emotional, especially with the silence. This film also tests your morals and values. Making you think, if you have a farther like Michael Sullivan, is he a good man? Your response might be, "well, he was my farther". Which is not the response I would give. A murderer is a murderer no matter who he is to you. In conclusion, Michael Sullivan was not a good man, no matter how much money he gives to the elderly. Although the message is not a responsible one it doesn't affect the rating of the movie. I didn't forget about the cinematography. The film was very well filmed. Loved the lightning. it gives it a more classic feel to the astonishing master piece. There's also something at the end that I wasn't expecting. If you haven't seen this film, go see it know. If you love great films you won't be disappointed.… Expand
Nov 28, 2012Once again, Sam Mendes manages to successfully craft a truly powerful drama with "Road To Perdition". The movie cohesively blends together very deep and moving themes that explore the repercussions of violence, the relationships between fathers and sons, and the path to vengeance. With incredible performances from Tom Hanks and Paul Newman, an awesome soundtrack by Thomas Newman, and stunning camerawork by Conrad L. Hall, "Road To Perdition" remains, in short, superlative.… Expand
Apr 13, 2013At first, I had never heard of this movie until just last year. And after watching it for the first time ever, I got to say, this was magnificently triumphant in everyway possible. I just don't understand why I had never heard of this movie before. This movie truly is underrated. Anyway, this movie has some tremendous acting from Tom Hanks, Tyler Hoechlin, Paul Newman, etc. But I was really surprised to see Daniel Craig (James Bond). He was fantastic playing Connor Rooney. Plus, I never really say this about a movie, but it really has some tremendous cinematography. Conrad L. Hall really knows how to get the perfect shots. Also, the storyline is exciting and captivating. It really keeps you interesting. Finally I have to say that Thomas Newman's original score is breathtaking. I mean, he's done some amazing music for other movies such as "Shawshank Redemption", "Finding Nemo", "WALL-E" and even "Green Mile". He really knows how to set the tone of the story. Overall, it's a fantastic gangster movie that needs to be more well known.… Expand
Dec 9, 2013It was a absolutely stunning movie.They gave a great effort in every scene.They used the perfect proposition in the movie.The sequence.I liked the acting.Such a interesting movie.
Aug 1, 2013As the rain falls heavily during pivotal points of Road To Perdition, the realisation that the thematic use of water represents what the film pertains to be, a cold-hearted and merciless journey, but while the film is visually beautiful from the sincere art of cinematographer Conrad Hall, it always feels like it is turning the other way and won't let anybody in, with most of its main characters lacking emotional clarity towards their goal, perhaps this is a deliberate attempt to push the purpose and ideals of the Rock Island-based mob in depression era America, the setting of the film.
We are introduced to quite a unique and quieter role for Tom Hanks as he plays Mike Sullivan, a hitman for the mentioned mob, lead by the man who raised him as his own, Peter Rooney (Paul Newman). The film plays out after the hot-headed son of Rooney, Conor (Daniel Craig), who becomes to trigger happy and ends up creating some tragic moments in the film, and in very little time.
Mike must protect the remainder of his family, which involves running from his boss and the man who raised him. While the film deals with issues that where common ground in its era, it's main focus is that of the relationship between father and son, but although this should serve as the emotional standing point of the film, the plot lacks the proper pacing to have the viewer get emotionally engaged, we go from one scene to the next at such quickened pace that we barely have time to bathe in the excellence.
The performances are truly encapsulating, from Hanks to Newman and also the man on the other side, played by Jude Law, who brings an eery and commanding personality to his hitman character.
But the best moments consist of the cinematography which cannot be criticised at all, the whole tone of the film can be told through the lighting, the weather and the moments of despair as the rain pounds down upon our characters.
The film just moves a bit too quickly, with not enough time spent on the development of relationships within the film, and while some one on one conversations create some emotional moments, there is still a lacking in overall growth.
If the plot isn't enough to go see the film, it should be the wonderful filming that draws you in.… Expand
Mar 24, 2012It is so good-intentioned, well-shot, and well-acted that it is hard to say anything bad about it even when matched up against a predacessor like American Beauty.
Jul 8, 2014Overall, this one is quite good. The acting, as expected from a cast of this kind of talent (Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jude Law, Daniel Craig, AND Stanley Tucci?!) is awesome. I was kind of worried about Hanks playing an against type character, but he did so very well and really stood out. In addition, the cinematography is breathtaking at almost every turn. Each image is beautifully crafted and not enough praise can be given to it. Road to Perdition is a definite slow burner, but never fails to completely grip you and really pays off at the end with a very touching, tragic, and moving, ending. For the most part, this one really rises above what you would expect from a typical gangster film and really finds a way to make all of these people seem entirely human. In addition, in a short period of time, all of the characters are well crafted, in large part thanks to a great script. Now, is this a great film? No, but it is certainly a damn good one that lives up to the hype for me.… Expand
Nov 12, 2013A deep sorrowful cinematic treasure.
Road to Perdition depicts the conflict of a father and son who's family is ripped apart by gang violence, Tom Hanks engulfs his audience with this realistic crime drama.
Feb 24, 2014While not as strong as American Beauty, Sam Mendes' Road to Perdition still succeeds thanks to strong performances by both Tom Hanks and Paul Newman, the breathtaking cinematography, and it's father-son themes.
May 6, 2014When Road To Perdition hit theaters, it was critically acclaimed and was eventually nominated for six Academy Awards. While it was a great film, it was very dark and fails to deliver the emotional impact that it intended to have on it's audience. In the 1930s, Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks) is a family man living in the suburban mid-west. By all accounts, he is a normal man, who is hiding one very dark secret, he is a hit-man for an organized crime syndicate. His secret is safe and life continues on as usual until one day, his son, Michael Jr. (Tyler Hoechlin), witnesses his father execute someone. Sullivan assures his bosses that everything is fine and his son won't say anything, but when has the mob ever taken that chance? Sullivan and his family are targeted for elimination and only he and his son manage to escape to Chicago, where he plans his revenge. As with most films based on a novel, the story here is top notch and very well written. Tom Hanks is the premier actor of our time, a man who will be remembered for centuries, but was he really the right choice to play Michael Sullivan? Hanks has many amazing skills as an actor, but playing such a cold, sedentary character, Hanks is unable to use his many tools and gives a performance that is very dry. The audience simply doesn't relate to Sullivan the way they relate to his son, and that brings the emotional impact of the film way below what it was intended to be. Tyler Hoechlin is fairly well known now, but when he got this role, it was his first, and he beat out over 10,000 other kids to get it. I don't know who any of those other kids were, but Hoechlin couldn't have had much competition, because he was out of this world good. It's a shame that the Academy rarely recognizes kids and that Paul Newman got the Best Supporting Actor nod over Hoechlin, because this kid is really the only one who comes off in a way that the writers originally intended. Road To Perdition was a tremendous story and was full of award winning actors, but the star power was more important to the producers, then finding actors who fit the characters as they were written. Aside from that and a painfully predictable ending, that you have to see coming, this was a pretty good film. I loved the setting and how dark it was, as well as the originality of a film that takes places nearly 60 years ago. I just find it ironic that in a cast full of Academy Award winning actors, it's a kid who steals the show.… Expand
Jul 21, 2013Beautifully shot, well-acted and dull. This is a movie that is so in awe of itself that it appears to be staring at it stunned, like a deer in the headlights.
Results are classy entertainment with little to interest women viewers but very shrewdly and cleverly put together, and probably more rewarding in long-range terms if you invest in Fox or Dreamworks than if you actually see the movie.
Overflowing with melancholy and tragedy, Road to Perdition is one of the most somber gangster pictures ever made.
On screen, Road to Perdition becomes a lace-curtain shoot-'em-up about fathers and sons. The graphic novel is more kinetic and more powerful than the motion picture.

I made a doc with gnumeric and saved it as a csv and sent it to some one. He could open but the file looked garbled. My guess is that he does not have the font that I used, (doze user), but what else could it be? In the end I sent it to him after running oocalc, (bloat alert), grrrr!
What if he sent me a file in a non-free font? Would I be able to open that?

afaik, csv format does not save font info as it's plain text in effect. might be a character encoding problem -- i assume you have gnumeric set up as utf-8. excel [in my dim and distant memory] has to be forced to read the character encoding if it doesn't match the encoding of the system it's opened on.

csv doens't contain fonts. It's just a text file with comma separated values, hence csv.
Even doing an excel export wouldn't have fonts in it, or need it. Gnumeric can export for excel.

Excellent service and quality By Jason on 11/23/2014Jason would recommend this product to a friendI ordered this for a small saltwater mixing station. Was processed and shipped fast and works very well for and external pump.
Great little pump By Brent on 8/16/2014Brent would recommend this product to a friendI am using this for a saltwater mixing tank I picked up from Den Hertog. It's a little noisy but in a closet so I cannot hear it while it's mixing away. I echo other comments about heat as it does get quite warm to the touch. However, I have not seen this heat transferring to my 20 gallon mixing tank yet.
Awesome pump By David on 6/1/2014David would recommend this product to a friendUsing two of these for my saltwater mixing station they work perfectly will not use anything else. They are extremely quiet.
Excellent little pump By chris on 1/15/2014chris would recommend this product to a friendI have this pump on my saltwater mixing station and its job is to move water between my two brute trash can system for mixing and storing water for my tanks as well as pump either type of water about 15' to my tank for water changes. This pump is very quiet and for such a small pump is perfect for this application.
Great pump for the price By Charles on 6/4/2011Charles would recommend this product to a friendThis is a great pump, i use it to circulate my 125 gallon rodi water holding tank when im making my saltwater, it does a excellent job for such a small tank.
Great little pump, little hot, but silent. By Patrick on 8/3/2010Patrick would recommend this product to a friendI've currently got one of these as the return on my display, it's a great little pump and silent. Unfortunately the only side effect of it being a fanless, and silent pump, is that it gets a little hot to the touch. Not burn your hand, but rather maybe a bit hot to hold for extended periods.

This week we left the Plagueworks to focus all our attempts on Blood Queen. We went on the Thursday for Blood Queen attempts and after 13 wipes, (2 attempts left) we decided to leave it there and possibly come back giving us a bit of time to think something up. We got the boss to 4% on our best try before people started getting mind controlled.
After going back after the fix or nerf, whichever you feel is the best explanation of it. We one shot the Blood Queen encounter with our two attempts left and then did Plagueworks wing without a wipe. Seems us saving those 2 attempts served us well. Anyway, anyone attempting Blood Queen after the fix or nerf, shouldn't have a single problem with the Mind Controlling, unless you're quite undergeared for the encounter.
(I believe it was a nerf, they should of lowered the enrage timer so it was still a big gear check. Although after thinking about it, it is normal mode so i guess they fixed the encounter.... hmm)

English Music for Brass
Helios (Hyperion's budget label) — Archive ServiceCDH55070
Movement 1: Introduction 'Worcester Castle'
Movement 2: Toccata 'Tournament'
Movement 3: Fugue 'Cathedral'
Movement 4: Minuet 'Commandery'
Movement 5: Coda
The Severn Suite came to be written at the instigation of a brass band music editor, Herbert Whiteley, whose ambition it had been for some time to secure from Elgar a competition piece for the annual Brass Band Festival at Crystal Palace. In 1930 there fell the twenty-fifth anniversary of this festival and Elgar was enticed, with a generous offer made in somewhat hard times, to fulfil this commission. The music he wrote was scored for brass band by Henry Geehl, an acknowledged expert in this particular skill. The arranger recalls that Elgar supplied him with a sketchy piano part, a figured bass and a kind of skeletal orchestral score, together with an indication of the counterpoint that he was required to add. Geehl went on to complain that he had much difficulty in persuading the great composer to write idiomatically for band. However, the work was successfully completed and Elgar accorded it an opus number, 87, and dedicated it to George Bernard Shaw who received the honour with delight. Later, Elgar scored the work for orchestra and added names of local reference to each movement: Introduction (Worcester Castle), Toccata (Tournament), Fugue (Cathedral) and Minuet (Commandery). This new version was recorded by Elgar with the London Symphony Orchestra in April 1932.

Antiretrovirals and Rate of Progression in Carotid Artery Intima-medial Thickness in HIV
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
It is well known that HIV-infected subjects frequently experience hyperlipidemias, insulin resistance, and visceral adiposity, which are known to increase the risk of atherosclerosis. Several cohorts have shown an increased risk of heart disease in people with HIV. The effect of HIV treatment versus HIV itself on the incidence of heart disease is unclear. In this study the investigators will assess the effect on carotid IMT of the initiation of antiretroviral combinations that are known to have a minimal effect on lipids and insulin resistance. We will also assess the changes in several inflammation and cardiovascular markers,as well as endothelial activation markers,and how these changes relate to therapy-induced changes in immunologic, virologic and metabolic markers.

McLEAN, Va. - It is already settled that former CIA officer John Kiriakou (keer-ee-AH'-koo) will be sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison Friday. He agreed to serve that time for leaking the name of a covert operative in the agency to a reporter.
Instead, Friday's sentencing hearing at federal court in Alexandria will focus on the fight over Kiriakou's reputation.
Kiriakou and his supporters portray him as an anti-torture whistleblower who is paying the price for doing the right thing by exposing the worst aspects of the government's so-called enhanced interrogation program.
To federal prosecutors, though, Kiriakou's claims of altruism and martyrdom are galling. In court papers, they say Kiriakou was motivated by fame and money. If anything, they say, his first public statements essentially defended the CIA's use of waterboarding.

Damien Sandow
Real Name
Aaron Haddad
Date of Birth
August 3, 1982
Place of Birth
Since they are now one of the more entertaining acts in the industry, Miz and Damien Sandow are the favorites to win the WWE tag team championship at Survivor Series 2014. Cody Rhodes and Goldust have lost a good amount of momentum, mainly due to the creative department not putting much focus on them. The feeling is that Miz and Sandow can help bring some energy back into the tag team division.
November 23, 2014
If you watched WWE NXT Takeover last night, you know that Tyler Breeze failed to win the heavyweight championship. However, management might have something better for him. Reports have surfaced that Breeze is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster, where the cocky character will be joining the entourage of the Miz, which already features Damien Sandow.
September 12, 2014
On Monday Night Raw this week, fans witnessed Mark Henry making his return and attacking Damien Sandow. The belief is that he will be given a slight push from WWE, so that he can be utilized in an upcoming feud with Alexander Rusev, who desperately needs people to work against after he is done with Jack Swagger. Beating a performer as big as Henry should help further establish Rusev as a top level heel.
August 5, 2014
Since he has shown a willingness to not only do what is asked of him but to actually put in great effort in doing so, Damien Sandow has been earning a good amount of praise backstage by his peers in WWE. They are impressed by the fact that he has not grown frustrated with the new gimmick. Unfortunately for Sandow, though, management does not feel that he deserves a real push at the moment.
July 28, 2014
In a rather interesting move, management has removed Adam Rose and Damien Sandow from the Intercontinental Championship battle royal at WWE Battleground 2014. No word yet on why they were pulled from the match, but rumors are floating around that the two of them could be given a singles match on the pay per view. As of right now, there are twenty remaining contestants competing for the belt.
July 16, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Adam Rose is expected to replace Santino Marella as the comedy routine on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. However, those reporting on the speculation are failing to remember that Damien Sandow actually owns that role in WWE at the moment. Management is still not sold on Rose, so the chances of him being moved above Sandow isn't very high at the moment.
July 11, 2014
Rumors going around right now is that the impersonation gimmick that Damien Sandow has been doing is basically a way for the creative department to appease Vince McMahon, who has been known to find humor in stuff like this. To his credit, Sandow has embraced the role, in hopes that it will convince WWE to finally give him the push that he deserves.
July 7, 2014
According to backstage rumors, Adam Rose is clinging on by a thread since key members of WWE management, including Vince McMahon and producer Kevin Dunn, are not big fans of his character. Things might have gotten worse since his match at Money in the Bank 2014 against Damien Sandow was basically ignored by the live audience. Rose could be demoted from television very soon.
July 5, 2014
Some more names have been added to the upcoming WWE Intercontinental Championship battle royal. Big E, Curtis Axel, Dolph Ziggler, Rob Van Dam and Ryback are now in the match at WWE Battleground 2014. They join Kofi Kingston, Damien Sandow, Great Khali and Antonio Cesaro. As of right now, the company is favoring the idea of giving the title to Cesaro.
July 2, 2014
A video from Monday Night Raw of Damien Sandow dressed as WWE CEO Vince McMahon.
July 1, 2014
Since Wade Barrett is injured and will require several months on the shelf, WWE decided to strip him of the Intercontinental Championship and put it on the line in a battle royal at Battleground 2014. Four names have been confirmed so far for the match. Kofi Kingston, Damien Sandow, Great Khali and Antonio Cesaro will be involved in that match. More is expected to be added through the next few weeks.
July 1, 2014
Since WWE needed a filler segment at Money in the Bank 2014 and wanted to showcase Adam Rose a little bit, he was given a quick match against Damien Sandow, who was dressed as Paul Revere. Match was not really all that noteworthy, and Rose got the win after hitting the Party Foul finishing move. This was a segment that belongs more on Monday Night Raw than a pay per view.
June 29, 2014
Those that watch Monday Night Raw and Smackdown are already aware that Damien Sandow is being buried by WWE. The company also decided to humiliate him a bit over the weekend at a live event in Hamilton. He was booked in three quick losses to Titus ONeil, Bo Dallas and Adam Rose within a span of a couple of minutes.
June 15, 2014
While a lot of wrestling fans weren't exactly sure who Lance Stephenson was, the move by WWE to have Damien Sandow mocking an NBA player has paid off. Several sports media outlets have picked up on the story, which gives WWE free publicity. Since Stephenson has been known to retaliate in the public, there's a chance that WWE could receive further publicity if he responds to this segment.
June 3, 2014
Since Monday Night Raw is in Indiana, WWE decided to have Damien Sandow doing a segment to taunt the fans by having him mock Lance Stephenson, who happens to play for the hometown Pacers. For those that do not follow the NBA, Stephenson recently generated a lot of headlines because he attempted to trash talk LeBron James during the playoffs and failed miserably.
June 2, 2014
As a sign of how much the company values his overseas appeal, Sami Zayn was brought on the tour of Europe with the main roster. The developmental wrestler worked matches with Damien Sandow and was actually given the win. Zayn is starting to become a regular on these overseas tour, so it would not be a stretch to see WWE promoting him to Monday Night Raw soon.
May 25, 2014
Fans who watched Monday Night Raw saw Alicia Fox throwing quite a fit at ringside after losing her match to WWE Divas Champion Paige. The company also released a video on the app, where Alicia approached Stephanie McMahon and quit the company. Early rumors floating around are that Alicia, Damien Sandow and several other WWE stars are working a story line about lower level performers being frustrated.
May 12, 2014
A video from Monday Night Raw of the segment where Hugh Jackman, who portrays Wolverine in the movies, and Dolph Ziggler attacking Damien Sandow, who was dressed as Magneto. WWE did this segment to draw in mainstream media attention.
April 30, 2014
In a hilarious segment, Damien Sandow came out on Monday Night Raw, dressed as comic character Magneto of the X-Men. He came out to interrupt Hugh Jackman, who portrays Wolverine, and Dolph Ziggler. The segment came off especially well since Sandow wore a purposely bad costume and really committed to the routine. Jackman and Ziggler ended up attacking Sandow to end the segment.
April 28, 2014
After weeks of being relegated to the developmental program, it appears that Brodus Clay is on the verge of making his return to WWE. The big man worked a live event in Kentucky for the company over the weekend, where he teamed with Damien Sandow to face Big E Langston and Mark Henry. Clay could be brought back to Monday Night Raw soon.

"Mother Ship" Cloud
Photograph by Carsten Peter, National Geographic
A rare mother ship cloud formation hovers over Childress, Texas. Tornado chasers there spent seven hours and 150 miles (240 kilometers) tracking the supercell thunderstorm that produced this cloud formation. Supercell thunderstorms are known to spawn tornadoes with winds exceeding 200 miles an hour (322 kilometers an hour).
Tornado Chasers
Photograph by Carsten Peter, National Geographic
One tornado chaser with a camera poses while his partner gets into their truck as a tornado approaches in South Dakota. South Dakota had 35 tornadoes in 2009, and is part of "Tornado Alley," an area of the Midwest United States that sees more tornadoes than the rest of the country.
Damaged Mobile Home
Photograph by Carsten Peter, National Geographic
Storm-stained skies hover over the remains of a mobile home demolished by a passing tornado. Tornadoes kill about 60 people in the U.S. every year and cause billions of dollars of property damage.
Tornado Close-Up
Photograph by Carsten Peter, National Geographic
A photographer caught this extreme close-up of a tornado funnel in Manchester, South Dakota. The combination of high winds, flying debris, and loud noise of the tornado would have made this photographer very uncomfortable.
Tornado Conditions
Photograph by Carsten Peter, National Geographic
Heavy clouds hang low over a dilapidated homestead in the Midwest, foretelling a possible tornado. Tornadoes form when the updrafts of air that supply storms with warm, humid air become a vortex, or high-speed whirlwind.
Thrown Vehicle
Photograph by Mike Theiss, National Geographic
An EF5 tornado threw a van into a hotel in Greensburg, Kansas. An EF5 tornado produces winds greater than 200 miles per hour (322 kilometers per hour), and can pick up and throw vehicles and destroy buildings with ease.
Tornado Cleanup
Photograph by Jim Watson, AFP/Getty Images
A man throws a stuffed animal to his wife as they clean up the debris from their apartment, damaged by a February 2008 tornado over Lafayette, Tennessee. Tornadoes caused $1.8 billion in damage and killed 126 people in the United States in 2008, but only $584 million in damage and 21 deaths in 2009.
Destroyed Homes
Photograph by Steve Pope, Getty Images
Several homes in a row were destroyed by a May 2008 tornado in Parkersburg, Iowa. Tornadoes can completely destroy some buildings while leaving others intact, depending on their construction. Mobile homes are notoriously flimsy in tornadoes, and accounted for more than half the tornado deaths in 2009.
South Dakota Tornado
Photograph by Carsten Peter, National Geographic
A category F3 tornado swirls across a South Dakota prairie. The F (Fujita) scale was used to measure wind speeds based on damage left behind after a tornado, and an F3 tornado had wind speeds between 158 and 206 miles an hour (254 to 332 kilometers an hour). The United States now uses the EF (Enhanced Fujita) scale, which takes more variables into account when assigning wind speeds to a tornado. An EF3 tornado now has wind speeds between 136-165 miles per hour (218-266 kilometers per hour), and the tornado pictured could be an EF3, EF4 or EF5.
Tornado Aftermath
Photograph by Rick Gershon, Getty Images
A woman searches the wreckage of her mother's house in Arkansas after a February 2008 tornado removed the roof. Forecasters in the United States can give an average warning time of 13 minutes before a tornado hits. The best place to be in a tornado is in a basement or interior room of the lowest floor of a sturdy building.
License Plate
Photograph by Mike Theiss, National Geographic
A Kansas vehicle license plate impaled on a tree after an EF5 tornado struck Greensburg, Kansas. Flying debris is the main cause of injuries and deaths in tornadoes.
Broken Window
Photograph by Rick Gershon, Getty Images
A woman looks through a broken window of a friend's house after a February 2008 tornado over Atkins, Arkansas. Despite a myth that says otherwise, opening windows to equalize the pressure between the inside and outside of a house during a tornado will not prevent them from breaking. Flying debris is the main cause of broken windows in tornadoes.
Safety Glass
