Brax has the ex factor
Home and Away's Steve Peacocke teases the arrival of Brax's ex, Tegan, and why Charlie might want to tighten her grip on her man.
Summer Bay's Charlie Buckton has a weakness for hunky bad boys, so it was clear from the moment they met that she'd succeed in getting the irresistible Brax wrapped around her little finger. But Home and Away star Steve Peacocke reveals the cop might have to tighten her grip in a couple of weeks' time, when Brax's former squeeze hits town to do his mother's bidding.
'Brax has been butting heads with his mum, Cheryl (Suzi Dougherty), so she decides to contact Tegan to suss out what's going on with [him],' Steve tells TV Week.
'Brax has a soft spot for [Tegan] because they have this history, but he doesn't trust her at all. She's not the type of person he can confide in, and he's pretty sceptical of her reasons for just showing up all of a sudden.'
And once Charlie gets her opportunity to size up the competition, it doesn't take long for her to suffer an attack of the green-eyed monster. 'She doesn't really want this relationship to go public, but at the same time she doesn't want Brax to move on from her,' Steve explains. 'She wants him to tag along behind until something might happen down the track.'
Asked whether Tegan's arrival will derail his relationship with Charlie, Steve adds: 'Until she's out of the picture, it's not going to be smooth sailing.'
Could we have another Summer Bay scrag fight on our hands?

Pastor Maldonado has refused to take blame for his collision with Lewis Hamilton in Valencia, saying the McLaren driver tried a "very aggressive move".
The Williams man was battling Hamilton for the final podium position on the penultimate lap when they made contact. He tried to move on the outside of the Brit, but was squeezed off the track and then drove into the McLaren as he tried he came back onto the track.
While Maldonado was able to continue and eventually finished in P10, Hamilton was forced to retire and the McLaren driver's frustrations got the better of him as he threw his steering wheel into the wall as he got out of his car.
Despite appearing to be responsible for the contact, Maldonado says he couldn't avoid the accident after being pushed wide by Hamilton.
"He tried to put me off of the track and he didn't give me any room," the Venezuelan is quoted as saying on BBC Sport.
"I jumped over the kerb and couldn't avoid the accident. I don't know why he was driving like that. He tried a very aggressive movement on me."

Ejim's huge night not enough against K-State
Updated On: Mar 01 2014 11:26:31 PM CST
Shane Southwell had 13 points and Kansas State overcame a huge game by Iowa State star Melvin Ejim to beat the 15th-ranked Cyclones 80-73 on Saturday night.
Thomas Gipson and D.J. Johnson added 12 points apiece for the Wildcats (20-9, 10-6 Big 12), who can still earn the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament. They play at Oklahoma State on Monday and then host Baylor on Saturday to end the regular season.
Kansas State has won 15 straight at Bramlage Coliseum, its longest home winning streak since the 1981-82 season.
Ejim had 30 points and 16 rebounds, and DeAndre Kane added 24 points and eight rebounds to pace the Cyclones (22-6, 10-6).
A win would have given Iowa State sole possession of second place. They play at Baylor Tuesday, and then host OSU Saturday.

Additional Information
Depicting an integral system aboard early-modern powered ships, as well as the fateful voyage of the historic Titanic, these brass keyrings display the Titanics engine telegraph. Used aboard ships from the late 19th and early 20th centuries these devices were used to convey orders between the bridge and the engine room. Two duplicate systems were in place, with a wheel showing varying speeds and a throttle system to indicate the desired speed. Shown in great detail on these nautical keychains this system was critical to ships traveling through dangerous seas. The pilot would adjust his telegraph to the desired speed, and in the engine room a bell would ring to indicate an order from above. With urgent orders, such as the one on that fateful day in 1912, the handle is moved three times, ringing the bell three times, and alarming the engineers to work quickly. With less than a minute between sighting and striking the deadly iceberg, however, the crew was unable to maneuver the ship and the tragedy we all know ensued. Each of these brass keyrings is a small historic token, perfect for Titanic enthusiasts as well as engineers and former sailors alike. Although the fate of the Titanic was sealed in that brief instant, the history of the ship will live on forever, as well as the lessons that were learned. Place your keys on one of the brass keyrings, remember those who lost their live that day, and with one of these Titanic engine telegraph brass keychains as a talisman, may you always have a safe journey.

AT&T Collect Calls - Bogus Charges
Posted by
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- We often receive collect calls from my father-in-law, which we NEVER accept. In February, I received another AT&T collect call, which I promptly declined to accept and hung up my telephone. Within a few seconds, my telephone rang back with a recorded "Thank you for using AT&T" message. It seemed like an odd computer glitch, but I didn't think much of it since I hadn't accepted any collect calls.
Now I have received a bill from AT&T for $15.12 for a one-minute collect call that was never accepted. I contacted AT&T to straighten this out. The first representative told me she could not cancel the charges. I asked to speak with her supervisor, and she hung up on me. I called back again, spoke to another representative and asked to speak with his supervisor. He connected me to Anna, who also told me that AT&T does not cancel charges for collect calls. I asked her if it was AT&T's policy to charge customers for glitches in their system, and she declined to respond. I asked for the name of her supervisor, which she offered as Derrick Neal (although it was hard to tell for sure because she, like the other two representatives I spoke with, did not speak English as their first language). When I asked to speak with Mr. Neal, amazingly he was not in his office, nor did he have a direct number I could reach him at later.
Since it does not seem that AT&T will do the honorable thing here, I am stuck paying for a telephone call I never accepted. While I realize $15 is not a great deal of money, I am furious with AT&T for their refusal to credit me for their mistake. Therefore, I am determined to make sure everyone that I know will be aware of AT&T's unscrupulous policies and terrible customer service. And I am sure that the business they will lose or never receive from my friends and family will definitely be in excess of $15.

Often? I knew someone that would call their parents collect when they needed to be picked up. Game was, parents never accepted, yet still knew it was time to leave. Why would he still call often, if you NEVER accept?

I have had ATT for many years now...and about a year ago I was billed for two directory assistance calls, WHICH I NEVER MADE. I was billed about $10.00 for them, and ATT refused to do anything about it. However, I never cancelled my service because they are the cheapest company in my area.
Goofy3697 on 10/28/2006:
You have the capabilities of disputing any charges on your phone bill. I am in saint Louis, and have suffered the same type of customer no-service. I got my bill once and there was a charge from a long distance carrier what I never heard of. Now, I do not have a long distance carrier on my line (my cell phone takes care of that) and the charge was for $74 and change. It took me over 30 minutes just to get hold of a customer no-service representative to explain my situation. She started to tell me that there was nothing that could be done, but before she could get the words out of her mouth I asked a simple question. "How can you bill me for a service that I do not have?" She still refused to reverse the charge. I immediately demanded her stupid-visor. The stupid-visor fought with me about the charge. I asked "Do you know what this phone number is (210) 821-4105? She asked me "What phone number is that?" I stated that it is the direct number to the main switch board of AT&T and it would not be any trouble to have the office of Mr. Whitacre, the Chairman and CEO, look into the situation and investigate your practices and your improper handling of calls. Furthermore, your whole attitude toward me was totally inappropriate. She stated, "Well, it's my word against yours and who think they will believe?" I stated "Me! Because I am recording this phone call. Your phone system states that this call might be recorded for quality assurance, but never specifies by whom. She had no response. She stated that she would charge the call back to the LD provider and take it off of my bill.
In closing, I would like to state that I still called the office of the president and played the tape for them and gave them my reasoning for doing so. The lady with whom I spoke stated that she has never listened to a customer recorded phone conversation with their customer no-service department. She profusely apologized and applied a $100 credit on my account. I am still with AT&T because I do not have a choice. It is unfortunate that we need to have a phone and it is scary that they know this. Most of the CSRs take advantage of this knowledge ad treat us customers like crap. There are very few out there that will not take it and we need to put a stop to it.

Bogus Collect Call Charges
Posted by
NEBRASKA -- It is only $24, but, I am just one person. Multiply me by who-knows-how-many, and this adds up to quite a racket by AT&T: My daughter calls collect from her West Coast home to mine in the Midwest. That is my que to refuse to accept charges, hang up, and make the call from my home (at 5 cents a minute). I NEVER accept collect calls. Well, here come a bill from AT&T for two separate collect calls at $12 each, listed as lasting one minute each. AT&T Customer Service is a joke. I finally reached a "manager" after 30 minutes on hold. I was told that someone at my home HAD to have accepted the charges. (It is only my wife and I.)I was also told AT&T does NOT make mistakes, therefore the charges were valid, and it was insinuated that I was just trying to "get something for nothing". Could my answering machine have triggered an acceptance signal to AT&T? I don't think so, and the "manager" had no idea. It's only $24.
And, I always pay all of my bills. But, I highly resent being charged for services I did not use or receive. In my opinion: AT&T sucks.

I'm not familiar with how collect calls bill, but maybe your daughter could get a calling card to avoid this problem in the future?
old fart on 12/16/2008:
I suspect that the answering machine is the culprit.. The phone only responds to an incoming signal and the line will automatically connect.. that's why it's called an "answering machine"...
tnchuck100 on 12/16/2008:
'...just trying to "get something for nothing"'. That is exactly what you have been doing. She calls collect. You refuse the charge. You call her back. You have "used" AT&T's system to convey information without paying them a legitimate charge. I know how this works and it's not that uncommon. However, under these circumstances you should not be complaining. You usually got away with it. This falls under the category of "unclean hands".
Slimjim on 12/16/2008:
Talk about quite a racket. So it's 5¢ at your house, but how much really can it be more for her? Rates are so competitive, what are we talking, a couple pennies per minute more? It just seems so not worth the aggravation of playing games, especially since this happened.
madconsumer on 12/16/2008:
I thought they charged a minimum of 1 minute even if the call has been declined?
most cell phones have even lower rates, and or free long distance. I know on my plan, I can all anywhere except international for the same low fee.
Starlord on 12/19/2008:
Are you aware that this method, very popular among people is fraud , and wire fraud on top of that. I hope the police in your city can't identify you. It is cheaper and safer to get a Magic Jack if you have high speed internet. Free local and long distance calls in the US and Canada for $19.95 PER YEAR!. If your daughter has high speed internet, send her one. They are $39.95 for the first year, which includes $20 for the device, and $19.95 for the first year's service. They do not cash your check or money order for thirty days, and if you decide you don't like it, send it back and they will send your original check or money order back to you. If you have someone going overseas, make sure they have high speed internet and give them a Magic Jack, and they can call you from anywhere in the world FREE.

Cripta dei Cappuccini
Rome, 00187, Italy
This church and convent in the Centro Storico neighborhood of Rome is not for the faint of heart. Although the 17th-century church contains a reputed Caravaggio painting, it's the crypt that draws visitors, where there are bones and skulls of former friars and Roman poor uniquely arranged. Fingers, toes, pelvises, spines, ribs, and the rest frame and punctuate the walls with crosses and mosaics in an eerie display of death.

Lucas Auer will race with Lotus Praga LMP2 at the 6 Hours of Bahrain
- Details
- Created on 12 November 2013
Lucas Auer is going to race with Lotus Praga LMP 2 at the 6 Hours of Bahrain. The 19-year-old Austrian finished 4th overall in the 2013 FIA F3 European Championship. Lotus is pleased to team up with Lucas Auer for the final race of the FIA World Endurance Championship.
Lucas Auer commented: "I am very pleased that I was given the chance to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship season finale with the Lotus Praga LMP2. For me, an endurance race will be an entirely new experience since I only took part in sprint races so far. Driving a closed-top car is also unknown territory for me and so is having to share the car with team-mates. Generally, I think it is a good thing for a racing driver to get new experiences. I am grateful for the chance that I am getting now. However, this doesn't mean that I am bowing out of single-seater racing. It is my aim to race in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship once again next year, but firstly, I am very happy to race with the Lotus Praga LMP2 in the 6 Hours of Bahrain."

Office of the PresidentEric W. Kaler
University Communications
Trains, treadmills, take care
Email from President Kaler to Twin Cities students
September 10, 2013
Dear Students,
Thanks for bringing that powerful and fun new-semester energy back to campus. I felt it when you all arrived over the past few days and, now that you've settled in, I want to welcome you back and fill you in on a few things.
First, as I did last spring, I'll be conducting office hours to meet with students. The first session is scheduled for October 16. Go here for details. I want to hear from you about the critical issues facing students on campus.
Second, the light rail line through campus is undergoing testing, generally late at night. Watch out as you cross the new tracks.
Campus safety is very important to me. Be careful out there. Make good decisions, and take good care of your friends and classmates, too.
Third, check out new facilities that have opened on campus. From the spectacular expansion of our Recreation and Wellness Center to the sparkling and sustainable 17th Avenue Residence Hall, with a great new restaurant open to residents and non-residents alike, it's an exciting year of renewal on campus.
As the semester unfolds, even as you work and study hard, take advantage of the cultural, athletic, and intellectual events, and the variety of social gatherings on and off campus. Embrace and enjoy our University community and the fabulous Twin Cities. While you're at it, don't forget to engage with your professors, who are among the top scholars in the world, and our staff, who keep this place running smoothly.
Have a great school year.
Eric Kaler

Used cars expected to get doubled in 2014
Though, the last year has not been promising for the car manufacturing companies yet the market for used cars is expected to get doubled in the coming five years in comparison to the new car market. In this fiscal year, Mahindra First Choice Wheels Ltd is planning to sell 60 K units. If they are able to sell this many units, it will be 30% growth in comparison to the last year. 3 million units is the current size of used car market according to the industry experts. 15% is the share of the organized sector.
Expanding used car market
The market for used cars is increasing surely and steadily. Already, it has become bigger and better than the market for new cars. Also, the former is growing at a faster pace. Till March in the current year, the company is planning to sell 60 K units of used cars. Mahindra First Choice or MFCWL is considered to be the top certified multi brand used car companies in the country. The company was growing at a 35% CAGR as far as volumes are concerned in the last five years. More than 7.5 lakh sq ft collective retail footprint has been recorded under the brand MFCL.
Demand of used cars
The demand of used cars has always been increasing at a steady pace. In matured and developed markets like America, the ratio between new cars and used cars is 3:1 which is quite low but in India, the figures are not so depressing. In India, the ratio between new and old cars is 1.2:1. These days, there is little inhibition when buying used cars due to changing lifestyles. It is no longer a social stigma. Recently, the company inaugurated its nineteenth dealership. This is a clear indication that the demand for used cars is increasing in the country.

The 10 Best Family-Friendly Resorts
10. Nickelodeon Family Suites by Holiday Inn, Orlando
The Nickelodeon Family Suites by Holiday Inn offers many opportunities -- interactive teas, breakfasts, and meet-and-greets -- for resort guests to mingle with characters. But that may not be what kids remember most fondly. Two admission-worthy water parks that are free for all guests feature seven slides or flumes, a four-story interactive water tower, and a 400-gallon dump tank. Toddlers will enjoy a sandy area with a slide and a shaded play space with a splash zone. The parks are both staffed by lifeguards, and life jackets, offered at no charge, are required for kids less than 4' tall when using certain water slides.
On 26 acres a mile from Walt Disney World, this all-suite resort has semi-private Nickelodeon-character-themed kids' bedrooms that can only be accessed via the common living room; most of the 777 suites are 485 sq. ft., and all are nonsmoking and equipped with a refrigerator and microwave
Family Features:
Camp for kids 5 to 12 four evenings per week; two swimming pools, one with a shallow entry, both staffed by lifeguards; dive-in movies; playground; free meals for kids 12 and under at certain eateries
Parents' Perks:
Nick@Night Adult Lounge; lap pool; free shuttle buses to area theme parks
- Will host Nick Jr. month in September with activities and characters from TV shows for preschoolers; last year's programming included storytime with Joe and Blue from Blue's Clues and a Dora the Explorer fiesta with arts and crafts
- Offers spa treatments, such as hair-braiding and manicures, for kids as young as 2
- Schedules live shows nightly during which families compete against each other in Nick-style games; if desired -- and most kids are eager -- the child of the winning family gets slimed at the end of the show with much fanfare

In this week's issue
World record robot car park at DIFC
Robots park your car for Dh5 an hour at world's biggest automated parking facility which has made it to the Guinness World Records
- Image Credit: XPRESS/VIRENDRA SAKLANI
- record feat: A mind-boggling 1,191 vehicles can be parked at Emirates Financial Towers now
Dubai: Can't find cheap parking when visiting Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC)?
Take heart, because for just Dh5 an hour your car will be safely tucked away by an automated parking system at Emirates Financial Towers (EFT), a few metres from the Ritz-Carlton DIFC. That's half the fee charged by neighbouring buildings in the free zone.
EFT's automated parking system — the world's biggest robotic parking facility — opened to the public on January 15.
"The rates depend on usage," said Rabih Aghnatios, Technical Manager for Mag Robotic Systems (MRS), which built the facility. "It's Dh5 for the first hour, Dh5 for the second hour and Dh10 for the third hour. From 7pm, there's a flat fee of Dh15 until 7am the next day."
Customers who shop or dine at outlets in the 25-storey building get free parking upon validation of their tickets, he said. Though the installation is the second in the UAE (MRS also built a smaller robotic parking complex at the Ibn Battuta Gate Offices), the one at EFT is record-breaking — it can fit in 1,191 vehicles, which has earned it a Guinness World Record.
The magic begins after you drive into a bay that looks like an auto-paint box. Each bay is equipped with 16 sensors to make sure that the vehicle is parked properly and there are no people in the vehicles.
After parking, a customer must key in his name and car plate number, go through a checklist of things to do before leaving his vehicle — turn lights off, put the handbrake on, take out valuables, clip side mirrors, etc.
More vehicles
"This allows us to fit three times more vehicles within a given space compared to conventional parking," said Aghnatios, who previously helped build the 84-km automated baggage handling system at Dubai International Airport's Terminal 3.
While the software was developed by Dubai-based Bond Communications and a Bahraini counterpart, the hardware was put together from various suppliers —motors from the US, sensors and payment machines from Germany and gearboxes from Japan.
CCTV cameras monitor every corner of the facility.
For an additional Dh25, motorists can also have their cars cleaned by using high-pressure nozzles.
A GPS app can also guide customers to take the shortest route and reserve a parking slot from their iPhone. The system can be linked to the police for vehicle tracking.
The computer server has a 'mirror' server in case the first one crashes, connected to an uninterrupted power supply. A standby generator kicks in within 20 seconds during a power outage.
Regular users can also send an SMS ahead to avoid a three-minute wait for their cars to be ready. After paying the parking fee to a machine, a queue system displays a customer's name on several LED screens.
Then off he can go.

Beirut, Lebanon (CNN) -- At least four people were killed and about 15 wounded when a car bomb exploded Saturday near Lebanon's border with Syria, an official said.
The incident occurred at about 6 p.m. (11 a.m. ET) near a fuel station at the entrance to the Lebanese town of Hermel, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.
Interior Minister Marwan Charbel told Al-Manar TV that the blast occurred when a suicide bomber driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee detonated the explosives.
Charbel called the country's security situation "unstable and changing for the worse with every passing day."
Video from the scene showed people running in front of fires blazing in the darkness.
Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati denounced the explosion. "Once again, the hands of treason target a Lebanese region and claim the lives of innocent citizens," said Mikati, imploring all sides to unite for the sake of the country and its people, NNA reported.
The U.S. Embassy in Beirut condemned the bombing. "We regret that the people of Hermel have once again been subjected to an act of reprehensible terrorism. We urge all parties to exercise restraint and refrain from contributing to the cycle of violence."
CNN's Mohammed Tawfeeq in Atlanta and Neda Husseini in Beirut contributed to this report

Your dog is your baby, your best friend, your snuggle-bug, jogging partner, bodyguard and so much more.
And, whether he's 8 weeks old or 8 years old, Fido is totally dependent on you and there's nothing you wouldn't do to keep him happy and healthy.
Luckily dog care isn't rocket science, but getting it right is still important. That's where I can help.
Whether you need a crash course in crate training, an in-depth look at the confusing world of dog food, help with illness or behavior worries... or pretty much anything else canine-related, you'll find it here.
As a life-long dog lover/owner, I've been an unofficial canine trainer, nutritionist, social director, nurses-aide, groomer, midwife and pooper-scooper for decades.
So come on in... I can help you skip chunks of that learning-curve, and save both of you some headaches.
Taking care of your four-legged friend is more fun (and less stressful) when you're fido-savvy :)
Puppies are irresistible!
Four short little legs, a round tummy, a black button nose, a tiny pink tongue and a tail that won't stop wagging - and those early months with your pup are precious and magical.
But they pass surprisingly quickly.... and before you know it your little Fido will be all grown up.
I've been a dog lover ever since I can remember and over the years (ahem, okay, decades) I've owned, raised, trained and loved dogs and puppies of all shapes and sizes.. and I've learned a few things about caring for puppies along the way.
These important skills include:
And there's tons more too. As it turns out, dogs are pretty good teachers too :)
Whether your pup is..... mischievous, lazy, energetic, goofy, shy, friendly, playful or just plain cute, he's going to be the love and light of your life.
If you take good care of Fido while he's small, chances are good that he'll grow up to be a happy, healthy, confident dog.
Not to mention your best friend, cheer-leader (and cheer-you-upper), confidante and snuggle-buddy.
BUT your responsibilities don't end just because he's finally become a grown up!
You'll still want to know which dog food is the best choice, which tough dog toys can stand up to adult-sized teeth, what illnesses Fido is at risk of developing, how to understand his body language and so on.
Then there's fun stuff like shared dog/owner activities, road trips, dog-friendly vacations and so much more.

Family biking in grasslands (Picture BC photo)
Hornby Island is"a destination of choice for riders from across the Pacific Northwest," claim the authorities at US mountain bike magazine DirtRag.
All credit to the Hornby Island Mountain Biking Association (NIMBA) for building and maintaining the trails in collaboration with the regional parks committee. The association funds itself through sales of an excellent, satellite-view map of the trail system available at Jeremy Payne's Hornby Outdoors Sports (open May to October) in the Ringside Market. Bikes rentals are also available here along with pro advice on conditions and routing.
Since the mid-1980s, some 80km/50mi of fast and narrow single-track trails have been carved into the topography of Hornby Island's highest peak, Mount Geoffrey. Westside trails are best for climbing to the 330m/1083ft summit. Intersections are marked with good signage. Unlike many BC biking hotspots, the routes here are free of rocks and roots. Result: A smooth, flowing circuit with enough variety.
Read More
The mountain can be accessed at various points around the island. Many riders zip along Central Road to the bike shop, pick up a map, and begin their climb to the top via Slade Road and the North Wind and Colt's Foot trails. Other access points include Mount Road (near the ferry terminal), Lea Smith Road (with the immediate challenge of a very steep grind), and the top of Strachen Road near Middle Mountain Mead.
Rookies can hone their skills on Bench Trail (with its views of Denman Island), Slade Connector, Beulah Creek Trail, Cold Deck, and Lox's Bagel. These are mostly lowland trails, several of which follow old logging roads.
Intermediate riders climb to the top on the 2.5km/1mi Summit Trail overlooking the ferry terminal. From here, Furry Freak, Mister Toad's Wild Ride and Four Dead Aliens (yes, trail names are a big part of the fun) wind along curving forest trails for a fast but not overly tough descent.
Experts, meanwhile, are faced with such aptly named challenges as Devil's Kitchen, Bitchin' Camaro, No Horses, and the stunt-filled Your Mom. (The latter two trails generate the most buzz among enthusiasts.)
Circumnavigate Hornby's road system in a leisurely day by taking a clockwise route from the ferry terminal. A gravel bike/pedestrian path parallels Central Road beginning at the Cardboard House Bakery and extending to Ringside Market and Helliwell Provincial Park. Linger in "downtown Hornby" for coffee, lunch, beachtime and shopping, then head south on Central Road. After a steep descent down Ford Cove Hill to the marina, riders can then take the moderately easy Spit Trail back to the ferry.

British Swimming has vowed to step up its performance in response to a cut in swimming funding announced by UK Sport.
Swimming was the major casualty in Tuesday's funding announcement for the four years leading up to Rio 2016 after it returned just three medals at London 2012.
There was good news for athletics, cycling, rowing, boxing and gymnastics in the record pot of £347million but reductions for swimming and volleyball, while backing for basketball and handball was cut altogether.
With Rebecca Adlington picking up two bronze medals and Michael Jamieson one silver, bosses at British Swimming had braced themselves for a drop in funding.
David Sparkes, British Swimming CEO, said: "Overall, we are satisfied with the outcome. While disappointed with the award for swimming, we recognise we need to rebuild confidence that we can deliver medals at Olympic level consistently before we can demand more investment.
"We had a disappointing Olympics in swimming and we now need to focus our energies on driving the cultural change needed moving forward and this will be built around a no compromise approach underpinned by performance management and strong effective leadership.
"Everyone involved in swimming remains committed to working hard towards achieving success in Rio and beyond."
Despite the loss in funding for swimming, British Swimming saw an increase in funding for four other aquatic sports - disability swimming, diving, synchronised swimming and women's water polo.
"We are delighted to see increased investment in disability swimming and diving which is richly deserved although there remains still much to do in these areas before Rio," said Sparkes.
"The funding of women's water polo and synchronised swimming is welcomed as clearly UK Sport recognises the tremendous progress these two sports have made in the last four-to-five years."

5 Biotech Stocks Poised for Breakouts
One biotechnology and drugs player that's trading within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade is Viropharma (VPHM), which is engaged in the development and commercialization of products that address diseases, with a focus on products used by physician specialists or in hospital settings. This stock is off to a slow start so far in 2012, with shares down by over 14%.
If you take a look at the chart for Viropharma, you'll notice that this stock gapped down huge back in April from $31 to $20 a share on monster volume. Follow that sharp move lower, shares of VPHM formed a double-bottom chart pattern at around $19.12 to $19.02 a share, and then went on to spike higher toward its current price of $23.30 a share. That spike has now pushed VPHM within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade.
Traders should now look for long-biased traders in VPHM once it manages to trigger a breakout trade above some near-term overhead resistance at $23.43 to $23.89 a share, and then above its 200-day moving average of $24.76 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that's near or above its three-month average action of 1.1 million shares.>>22 Biopharma Stocks With Breakout Potential in 2012 If we get that action soon, then VPHM will have a great chance to re-fill some of that gap from back in April. We could easily see VPHM spike toward $27 to $28 a share in the near future. One could look to buy VPHM off any weakness to anticipate the breakout and simply use a stop near its 50-day moving average of $21.76 a share. I would rather buy this off strength though and get long once it clears those breakout levels with high volume. Use a stop just below $23.43 if you get long off strength.

Posts tagged: Peregrine Fund
A peek at the Falconcam just now showed all three Peregrine falcon chicks out of their nesting box, exploring the concrete ledge outside. According to the Peregrine Fund, this is natural behavior as the chicks prepare to learn how to fly. "Like toddlers learning to walk they must test their limits," the fund reports. The ledge outside the nesting box, which is atop the 14th floor of One Capitol Center in downtown Boise, extends the length of the building and is about 40 inches wide, providing lot of room for the chicks to practice flapping their wings and taking short practice hops.
The three chicks are a couple of weeks away from fledging, or taking their first flights. You can watch live here.
The three very fuzzy, white down-covered peregrine falcon chicks in a downtown Boise nesting box high atop an office tower are growing at a remarkable rate; you can see them here. The Peregrine Fund reports that the chicks typically weigh only an ounce and a half when they hatch, but by the time they fledge and fly out of their nests for the first time, they'll be 18 inches tall and have a wingspan of more than 3 feet. At fledging, female peregrines typically weigh more than two pounds, and males a little under a pound and a half.
When they fly, peregrines can reach speeds of more than 200 mph as they dive for their prey in mid-air.
Three chicks have hatched in the Peregrine falcon nest that's high atop One Capitol Center in downtown Boise; the fourth egg is not expected to hatch. The Peregrine Fund reports that the three chicks had emerged by Wednesday; the parents will eventually roll the fourth egg out of the "scrape" area and off to the side of the nest box.
Viewers on the "Falconcam" now can see the adults brooding and feeding the nestlings, which need their parents to keep them warm for about 10 days until they can regulate their own body temperatures. "The yolk inside the egg, which nourished the embryos during incubation, was absorbed into the body cavity of the chicks immediately prior to hatching," the Peregrine Fund reports. "Although the yolk keeps the chicks well-nourished for a few days, their begging instinct kicks in right away. The adults feed the chicks bits of food by tearing off small chunks of meat and delicately placing them in the chicks' beaks." You can watch live here.
The first of the four eggs in the downtown Peregrine falcon next hatched at 3 this afternoon, the Peregrine Fund reports, and the others are expected to follow soon after. As the first hatched, the second had already "pipped," which is the first stage of the hatching process.
According to the Peregrine Fund, "The first egg was laid on March 26th and the fourth and final egg was laid on April 2nd when incubation began in full earnest. If all of the eggs were fertile they should hatch within the next day or so." The nesting box is on a ledge high atop One Capitol Center downtown; you can watch live here on the Falconcam.
There's some sad news on the peregrine falcon front downtown: One of the four fledglings, all of whom had successfully fledged and were trying their wings and learning hunting skills in downtown Boise, has died after crashing into a window. Idaho Fish & Game reported today that the juvenile female died this morning; three males remain. "Our Fish and Game Department has been doing an incredible job following up on the falcons this year," the Peregrine Fund reported. "After rescuing all four of the fledglings and banding them, it is unfortunate that they also had to report on the first mortality."
Young peregrine falcons face steep odds, the fund said, with more than 50 percent of young peregrines, and raptors in general, not surviving their first season in the wild. After that first season, the mortality rate drops to about 12 percent.
A pair of peregrines laid four eggs in a nesting box atop One Capitol Center in downtown Boise this spring; the first three eggs hatched May 12, and the fourth the next day. Between June 17 and June 20, three of the chicks were rescued by Idaho Fish & Game after being blown off the building ledge by strong winds; another, one of the males, was rescued on Wednesday after it became stuck behind a structure on the roof of the Banner Bank building, two blocks north of its nest. All the chicks were banded for identification.
The Peregrine Fund and Idaho Fish & Game maintain a "Falcon Cam" where people can watch the peregrine family in its nest; on June 24, after all four chicks had moved out of camera range, it replaced the live feed with a photo gallery.
Here's the latest update from the Peregrine Fund on all the activity over a busy Mother's Day in the peregrine falcon nest that sits high atop a downtown Boise building:
"It was a busy Mother's Day for the female Peregrine Falcon! She had three new chicks in the nest on Sunday and gained another one on Monday. Both the male and female will brood the four chicks for about 10 days, depending on the weather. The young birds are not yet capable of regulating their own body temperatures, so they need to sit under the adults for warmth. The young ones also can huddle together to keep warm. The empty shells visible in the nest today will be blown out of the nest or removed by the adults along with feathers, bones, and other litter."
You can watch live here. Early this morning, I found it very hard to stop watching the adult feed the fuzzy white chicks, a couple of whom were stretching their mouths up expectantly, while the others alternately snoozed, bobbed their heads, or were stepped on by their siblings as they cuddled together in a rough pile of fuzz.
At least some of the four eggs in the peregrine falcon nesting box atop a downtown Boise skyscraper have hatched, and tiny, fuzzy chicks are now being brooded, or kept warm, by their mother on this Mother's Day. You can watch live here. There's some info here on how peregrine falcon chicks grow and develop and what to expect in the coming days and weeks. When I peeked at the webcam this afternoon, the mom was brooding the chicks, then flew out of the nest and returned with some food, ate most of it, and fed some of it to the softly cheeping chicks, concentrating on one of the two. There appeared to be two chicks and two remaining eggs still to hatch.Then the proud mom settled back in, huddling over the chicks and eggs.
The chicks in the four eggs in the peregrine falcon nesting box atop a downtown Boise building are preparing to break out of their shells, the Peregrine Fund reports this morning. When I looked at the Falconcam, an adult falcon was looking down expectantly at the eggs. Click below for more info on what's happening, and you can watch live here.
Two peregrine falcon chicks born in a nest high atop a downtown Boise office tower fledged this morning, the Peregrine Fund reports, testing their wings between 6 and 7 a.m. today. The young birds are doing well, and a third is thinking about following them. Anna Ravegum Taafe of Idaho Fish & Game reported that the two fledglings are perched safely on tall buildings downtown, and their watchful dad is nearby. One made it to a building a block away that's higher than the nest box at One Capital Center. You can check out the nest box on web-cam here, but there may be little activity there, as the third chick is out on a wide ledge, where the young birds have been flapping their wings and taking short hops to experiment with flying. A "fledge-watch" team is prepared to rescue any fledglings that land on the ground or in an unsafe location.
Three chicks hatched over the weekend in the peregrine falcon nest high atop a downtown building, One Capitol Center at 10th and Main streets. You can see their progress, and that of the parents who are carefully tending them, on a live webcam here, sponsored by the Peregrine Fund, Idaho Fish & Game and Fiberpipe. The chicks weighed about an ounce and a half when they hatched, but will be full grown by the time they leave the nest. According to the Peregrine Fund, by the time they fledge in July, the young falcons will be 18 inches tall and have a wingspan of more than 3 feet. Young falcons typically fledge five to six weeks after hatching.
For now, the adults are brooding the chicks, keeping them warm as they're too small to regulate their own body temperature; that will continue for about 10 days. The nest box, on the 14th floor of the office tower, has been used by wild peregrine falcons each spring since 2003; falcons typically nest on rocky cliffs or tall buildings like the one in Boise that simulate a rocky cliff environment.
Once an endangered species, the peregrine falcon was restored through a captive-breeding and release program by the Peregrine Fund. The fast-flying bird of prey, known for its spectacular high-speed dives, was removed from the endangered species list in 1999. Today, there are about two dozen breeding pairs in Idaho.

The Scientific Advisory Council
Since Baltic Worlds first started being published in 2009, there has been an editorial board with researchers from several countries and disciplines. The editorial board meets at least twice a year to review and discuss the development of the magazine. It is the editorial board that guarantees the dual purpose of the magazine: to disseminate knowledge about and generate interest in research in the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe, and to provide a space for researchers in different countries and disciplines to be heard. The scientific advisory council is in dialogue with the editorial board about how these goals can best be achieved.
The advisory council is responsible for the quality of the articles written by researchers, which includes ensuring that all these articles are peer-reviewed by two independent, anonymous researchers before publication.
The advisory council consists of:
Thomas Lundén, Board Chair, em. professor, human geography, CBEES, Södertörn University
Joakim Ekman, professor, history, Research Director, CBEES
Sari Autio-Sarasmo, senior researcher, history, Aleksanteri Institute, Helsinki
Monica Hammer, associate professor, environmental science, research leader, CBEES, Södertörn University
Ann-Cathrine Jungar, associate professor, political science, Director of Studies, BEEGS
Jens E. Olesen, professor, Nordic history, University of Greifswald

HOUSTON, Dec. 17 -- BOC Group, Murray Hill, NJ, has commissioned a hydrogen plant at Citgo Petroleum Corp.'s Lemont, Ill., refinery. The plant will enable the refinery to produce gasoline that meets or exceeds the standard set by the Environmental Protection Agency's Tier 2 clean fuels regulation.
BOC recently commissioned an oxygen supply system at the Lemont refinery as well. The oxygen is used in Tulsa-based Citgo's Claus sulfur recovery unit to convert hydrogen sulfide to sulfur, which decreases sulfur dioxide emissions from Citgo's automotive fuel products.
