"Hurricane Agnes was the first tropical storm and first hurricane of the 1972 Atlantic hurricane season. A rare June hurricane, it made landfall on the Florida Panhandle before moving northeastward and ravaging the Mid-Atlantic region as a tropical storm. The worst damage occurred along a swath from central Virginia through central Pennsylvania," according to NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration).
The tropical storm hit Chesterfield this week in 1973. The Richmond News-Leader reported that flooding was severe enough that Chesterfield's Board of Supervisors declared a state of emergency. Flood damage in the county was estimated at $800,000 and the industrial plants of Dupont, VEPCO's Chesterfield power plant, and Lone Star Industries were hit extremely hard.
"Areas along the James, west of Richmond and east of the Blue Ridge Mountains received massive amounts of rainfall that exceeded the rains of Hurricane Camille three years prior. The river experienced five-hundred year flooding levels, inundating downtown Richmond and causing millions of dollars in damages," according to City-Data.com.
The website also reports the cause of tropical storm flooding here: "Hurricanes have been the cause of most flooding during the summer and fall, particularly Hurricanes Connie and Diane in 1955, Hurricane Camille in August 1969, Hurricane Agnes in June 1972, and Hurricane Isabel in September 2003. On August 31, 2004, flooding instigated by Tropical Storm Gaston devastated the historic Shockoe Bottom District which lies along the James River."

Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany.
Most beautiful
The 'Perle' of the north German region. Not only the second biggest but the most beautiful city in Germany. Truly international due to its harbor, truly idiosyncratic due to its people.
Matthias, United States - 30 July 2008
I was born here and will always return
Hamburg, the gate to the world its called, and most of the time it is. This very special city is an international trading hub as well as one of the most creative places you can find. Its inspirational character is enormous. The freedom and independence which it has always portrayed remain until now. No wonder that it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It has its very own charm and character. I was born here and will always return.
Samy, Germany - 24 February 2006
It smelled like the great, wide world.
It's the city I always wanted to live in. As soon as I approached it on the freeway seeing the harbour, the big ships, the containers, the water, the bridges. It smelled like the great, wide world - open to everybody. Having lived there for 20 years, it never failed to provide further inspiration.

Company Owner Sentenced for Illegal Importation of Goods from China to Avoid Paying Customs Duties
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge Ellen L. Hollander sentenced Jin Qing Huang, age 57, a citizen of the People's Republic of China, to 16 months in prison followed by one year of supervised release for understating the value of goods imported into the United States from China to avoid paying antidumping duties.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein, Special Agent in Charge William Winter of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI); U.S. Customs and Border Protection Baltimore Port Director Ricardo Scheller.
According to his plea agreement and court documents, from 2006 to 2010, Huang controlled Woncity and other corporations that imported merchandise, including plastic bags and other restaurant supplies from China. Huang and Woncity operated warehouses at 1225 4th St., NE, Washington, D.C. and 2800 Annapolis Road in Baltimore. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) assesses antidumping duties on plastic bags to prevent foreign manufacturers and importers from "dumping" merchandise at below cost in the United States. Plastic bags exported from China are subject to a 77.57% antidumping duty.
On July 19, 2007, Huang imported merchandise into the United States from China, falsely stating that the value of merchandise was $52,494, when in fact the value was $82,196. Similarly, on May 22, 2008, Huang imported goods into the United States from China, falsely stating that the value of goods was $10,073, when in fact the value was $30,118. Huang admits that he underpaid the legally required duty on imports, charged and not charged in this case, by an amount between $5,000 and $10,000.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein praised HSI Baltimore and Customs and Border Protection for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorney Harry Gruber and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony V. Teelucksingh assigned from the Department of Justice Criminal Division's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section, who prosecuted the case.

TV Overnights: The Plane Crash helps C4 contend with the big boys
Things got a little more complicated when said colleague informed Sam that he has the identity of another colleague that has attempted to kill Sam and her unborn child a number of years previously.
Still following? Doesn't matter really; the plot banged along at a decent pace and the locations and cinematography give the series an expensive feel and epic scope. Unfortunately, the second episode dealing with the adventures of Mrs Bourne-lite had to contend with real-life explosions over on Channel 4 and was down 23% week on week. Hunted attracted 3.4 million viewers, resulting in a 15% share.
Acrophobics and aerophobics look away now - the other options in the 9pm slot were not for the faint of heart. Channel 4's offering was The Plane Crash, a documentary that does exactly what it says on the tin - a factual look at an attempt by scientists and engineers to purposefully crash a Boeing 727 straight in to the Mexican desert.
Naturally, this was all to aid air safety but there was also the added benefit of knowing there would be a huge explosion at one point. The real tension came as the pilots had to make their grand escape when the plane's route was locked in.
For someone that has a fear of flying there must be no worse sight than seeing your three pilots jettison out of the plane - luckily the craft was full of crash test dummies, all of which were being monitored closely. The grand experiment proved a huge success for Channel 4, with 3.1 million viewers (a 15% share) tuning in, narrowly missing out to BBC One.
Meanwhile, BBC 4 aired the BAFTA winning film Man on Wire - a nerve racking documentary looking at a guerrilla stunt pulled off by a French performance artiste in 1974. Philippe Petit and his team broke into one of the world trade centre towers and attempted to tightrope walk across to the other, with only his ego as a safety buffer.
The audacious stomach churning stunt, which lasted an hour, framed the fascinating look at bold attitude and unbreakable spirit proving some things you just can't make up. The vertigo-inducing images attracted 218,000 viewers to the digital channel, resulting in a 1% share.
It would seem that an irrational fear of large groups of women emoting was more powerful than either of the above as hyper drama Homefront (ITV1) was out performed by BBC One and Channel 4. The series improved on last week's audience slightly, with 2.5 milion people tuning in as it reached the half way point of its six episode run.
The final episode in the current series of The Corrie Years focused on those that have scaled the walls of the Granada Studios compound over the years and have successfully managed to escape.
Rita, Emily and Ken all looked on in envy as there were reminded of those who went before them including Maxine Peacock, Jim McDonald (who, in those in between stretches when he's not needed, is kept in solitary confinement on the lot) and Nick Tilsley 2.0 (the spray tanned topless Conservative Party parliamentary candidate). The look back down the fictional memory lane captured 2.5 million viewers and a 11% share.
Earlier on EastEnders, Sharon's grim existence all became a bit too much to bear. Thursday's episode saw the peroxide vagabond break into R&R to get her hands on some of her reliable happy pills. Just as she was about to neck the whole thing, Sharon came to her senses and DRAMATICALLY threw the bottle of pills against the wall. 7.6 million viewers watched Sharon battle her demons (too many to count at this stage of the game), resulting in a 36% share and the biggest audience of the day.
Earlier a double visit to Emmerdale secured ITV1's biggest success of the day. With preparations under way for next week's 40th anniversary live episode, the storyline was building up to an exciting conclusion. 6.6 million viewers tuned in for the first episode at 7pm, falling to 5.9 million for the second visit an hour later.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Confucius The greater the difficulty, the more the glory in surmounting it. Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular. History is only the register of crimes and misfortunes. |

Although not meant in this mundane way, quote one and two are very appropriate for the slippery conditions here. Quotes three and four could have severely shortened a paper I had to write a long time ago. Thanks |

I like the quotes and I like your responses, Anneliese |
That's one reason the quotes are so appealing; often they are relevant to or can be applied to one's personal circumstances. Sometimes it's comforting, other times distressing to know that whatever happens to you has probably already happened to somebody else! |

Breakfast Topic: Dude, where's my ram? {WoW}
Oct 5th 2010 11:40AM After 3 years of wanting one, I finally got the Kodo on my main! No ram, no remote, and I already had the title from last year but the Kodo was enough to make it a perfect Brewfest. Since as far as I know this is the only way for alliance to get a Kodo, it felt really special.
Breakfast Topic: Has your time in Azeroth lent you inspiration? {WoW}
Oct 2nd 2010 2:17PM After reading some articles about WoW and the psychological theory of "Flow" I've been inspired to better understand the principles of enjoyment and try to arrange other activities in my life to make them produce that feeling more often. Having an activity that's a touchstone for what does it feel like to be "in the zone" makes it easier to know when I'm hitting the right spot.
Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_%28psychology%29
Second, this is not so much inspired, as learned from WoW. The experiences of raiding, helping run a guild, helping run certain aspects of raids, and carefully observing how various raid leaders' styles worked or did not work as leadership has taught me a great deal about practicalities of leadership. When I took a position of responsibility in real life where I had to lead about ten people in a highly organized performance (and handle some scheduling and finding replacements) the parallel to leading a 10-man raid was immediate and I was able to successfully apply what I had learned from raiding to my in-person situation.
The Lawbringer: 5 ways trade chat can get you in trouble {WoW}
Oct 1st 2010 7:17PM GMs respond surprisingly quickly to tickets about harassment, threats, and racist and sexist language in the public channels. A lot of people say that you should just leave trade or ignore the people who are offensive, but I don't consider that to be the right choice. By ignoring and not reporting the jerks and bigots we (gamers) give the impression that we tacitly approve. That kind of speech and lack of opposition to it can also make people in the groups being targeted feel like they don't belong in the game world, and cause them to leave, making the world (of warcraft) a poorer place. Gaming is a fun, relaxing and interesting hobby and shouldn't be reserved only for jerks and the exceptionally thick skinned.

Raid Rx: The evolving healing UI {WoW}
Oct 1st 2010 3:00PM @Matt:
"You can have them stack five across or five vertically (or a combination of the two). "
I've been playing with the new default raid frames on the PTR and I have not been able to get them to display horizontal groups. I still don't see that option on your screenshot, so I'm not sure what you mean. If there is some option to get groups to display horizontally that I'm missing I would really love to hear it.
@Everyone else:
This is the new default raid frames, available for testing on the PTR, not any addon. As a healer I find this raid frame change the big under-reported news of Beta and PTR. With the radical improvement to the default raidframes, it may be possible to play as a healer at highly competitive levels using the default raidframes. At least at the 10-man level, as at 25 even the smallest size takes up too much screen space.

Some older realms seem to be more unstable (eg Kel Thuzad where I play) however I think a lot of that got fixed with the upgrades recently performed preparing for Cataclysm.
One thing you should consider and it seems not enough people do, is how far the data center is from where you live. If you plan to raid at a high level and even more so if you plan to PvP at a high level, ping matters. And one of the factors affecting your ping is how far you are from the data center. The physical location of your sever does NOT always correlate with the time zone that you play in.
If you are interested in raiding, check wowprogress.com and see how many guilds are progressing through the level of content you are interested in. Don't get swayed just by highly ranked realms, as one very advanced guild can bump up a realm's rating a lot. What you want is a decent amount of guilds in the zone of progress where you want to play. I wouldn't look just at the current tier either, because ICC has been out for so long it's hard to measure. Look at T9 and especially T8 to see the historical trends.
Often in a lower-pop realm the very best guild which is way ahead of the others doesn't do that much on-server recruiting. On the other hand the mid-range-but-good guilds do a lot more.
I'm not as familiar with competitive PvP so I don't know how you can check a realms overall PvP rankings, but there are ways to do that.
Breakfast Topic: A crowning moment of noobishness {WoW}
Sep 11th 2010 2:02PM Noobishness hit me right at the creation screen. My first character was a tauren warrior.
...Because I couldn't figure out how to select your class and warrior is the first one you get by default. I think I thought maybe you'd unlock the other classes over time or something.
I did eventually "unlock" night-elf druid which worked out much better for me.

Scattered Shots: Grandpappy Frostheim on mana {WoW}
Aug 30th 2010 9:32PM Forque, hunters the likes of which you describe still exist. I've had the pleasure of playing with half a dozen hunters who inspire me with awe and respect. When I'm a healer, they protect me. When I'm a tank they MD and help control strays. In raids, they kite, they range-tank, they trap, they catch balls of doom, and they are unfailingly polite. They do all this and still, they top the damage meters.
The amazing, noble hunter may be outnumbered by his lazy, careless cousins, but he is not an extinct type.

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying , There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife. | 1 The men of Israel had taken an oath at Mizpah: "Not one of us will give his daughter in marriage to a Benjamite." |
2 And the people came to the house of God , and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore; | 2 The people went to Bethel, where they sat before God until evening, raising their voices and weeping bitterly. |
3 And said , O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel? | 3 "O LORD, the God of Israel," they cried, "why has this happened to Israel? Why should one tribe be missing from Israel today?" |
4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early , and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. | 4 Early the next day the people built an altar and presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. |
5 And the children of Israel said , Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying , He shall surely be put to death . | 5 Then the Israelites asked, "Who from all the tribes of Israel has failed to assemble before the LORD?" For they had taken a solemn oath that anyone who failed to assemble before the LORD at Mizpah should certainly be put to death. |
6 And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said , There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day. | 6 Now the Israelites grieved for their brothers, the Benjamites. "Today one tribe is cut off from Israel," they said. |
7 How shall we do for wives for them that remain , seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives? | 7 "How can we provide wives for those who are left, since we have taken an oath by the LORD not to give them any of our daughters in marriage?" |
8 And they said , What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly. | 8 Then they asked, "Which one of the tribes of Israel failed to assemble before the LORD at Mizpah?" They discovered that no one from Jabesh Gilead had come to the camp for the assembly. |
9 For the people were numbered , and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there. | 9 For when they counted the people, they found that none of the people of Jabesh Gilead were there. |
10 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest , and commanded them, saying , Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children. | 10 So the assembly sent twelve thousand fighting men with instructions to go to Jabesh Gilead and put to the sword those living there, including the women and children. |
11 And this is the thing that ye shall do , Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man . | 11 "This is what you are to do," they said. "Kill every male and every woman who is not a virgin." |
12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. | 12 They found among the people living in Jabesh Gilead four hundred young women who had never slept with a man, and they took them to the camp at Shiloh in Canaan. |
13 And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them. | 13 Then the whole assembly sent an offer of peace to the Benjamites at the rock of Rimmon. |
14 And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead : and yet so they sufficed them not. | 14 So the Benjamites returned at that time and were given the women of Jabesh Gilead who had been spared. But there were not enough for all of them. |
15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel. | 15 The people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a gap in the tribes of Israel. |
16 Then the elders of the congregation said , How shall we do for wives for them that remain , seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin? | 16 And the elders of the assembly said, "With the women of Benjamin destroyed, how shall we provide wives for the men who are left? |
17 And they said , There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel. | 17 The Benjamite survivors must have heirs," they said, "so that a tribe of Israel will not be wiped out. |
18 Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn , saying , Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin. | 18 We can't give them our daughters as wives, since we Israelites have taken this oath: 'Cursed be anyone who gives a wife to a Benjamite.' |
19 Then they said , Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah. | 19 But look, there is the annual festival of the LORD in Shiloh, to the north of Bethel, and east of the road that goes from Bethel to Shechem, and to the south of Lebonah." |
20 Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying , Go and lie in wait in the vineyards; | 20 So they instructed the Benjamites, saying, "Go and hide in the vineyards |
21 And see , and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin. | 21 and watch. When the girls of Shiloh come out to join in the dancing, then rush from the vineyards and each of you seize a wife from the girls of Shiloh and go to the land of Benjamin. |
22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain , that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty . | 22 When their fathers or brothers complain to us, we will say to them, 'Do us a kindness by helping them, because we did not get wives for them during the war, and you are innocent, since you did not give your daughters to them.' " |
23 And the children of Benjamin did so , and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced , whom they caught : and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them. | 23 So that is what the Benjamites did. While the girls were dancing, each man caught one and carried her off to be his wife. Then they returned to their inheritance and rebuilt the towns and settled in them. |
24 And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance. | 24 At that time the Israelites left that place and went home to their tribes and clans, each to his own inheritance. |
25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. | 25 In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit. |

Find out how we produce our information|
You'll need to make a few adjustments to your lifestyle directly after a transplant.
For the first few months while your immune system is returning to normal, it helps to try to eat a healthy, balanced diet |and to avoid possible risks of infection from food. Eat freshly cooked food and avoid reheated food.
It's best to avoid:
Make sure that frozen foods are completely defrosted before cooking, and wash salads and fruit thoroughly before eating. Avoid soft cheeses, unpasteurised food, live yoghurt and dishes containing uncooked or lightly cooked eggs. Once your blood count is back to normal, you can usually eat whatever you like. Your doctor or nurse will usually give you advice about this.
It's fine to drink a small amount of alcohol, but heavy drinking will slow down the recovery of the bone marrow and increase the risk of bleeding (especially if your platelet count is low). Alcohol can also interfere with some of the drugs you may be prescribed.
Feeling that you have no energy at all (fatigue|) is common after a transplant. Getting your energy levels back can take many months. Don't expect too much of yourself, and remember that it's a gradual process. Pace yourself, and save your energy for the things you want to do or that have to be done. Accept offers of help from family and friends. Gentle exercise|, such as short walks, can help increase your energy levels.
To reduce the risk of infection, avoid crowded places such as cinemas, pubs and public transport until your white blood cells are well within the normal range. Your doctor can tell you what your blood count is.
By 3-6 months after your treatment, you should be able to take up a full social life again. However, avoid contact with children who have an infectious disease such as chickenpox or measles. If you're worried that you've come into contact with someone with an infectious disease, contact your transplant team.
When your blood count has gone back towards normal, you can ask your doctor about going back to work|, school or college. Ideally, take it gradually by going part-time to begin with. It's a good idea to discuss with your employer, teacher or tutor a satisfactory way of returning to your work or education in stages.
You might also want to say whether you would like them to talk to your colleagues or fellow students about your illness and treatment before you return. If so, check that you feel comfortable about the way they plan to do this.
Regular gentle walking is good exercise to keep your muscles reasonably toned until your platelet count has returned to normal. Ask your specialist about what kind of exercise |is suitable for you when your blood count is still recovering.
After this, you can start doing whatever exercise you like, although it's wise to gradually build up the amount of exercise you do. Taking regular exercise can help with your recovery and benefit your future health.
After a donor stem cell transplant, you'll lose your immunity to any illnesses you were vaccinated against as a child. You'll need to have these vaccinations again in addition to some other vaccinations to protect you against common infections such as flu. After about six months to a year, your doctor will discuss your immunity with you and advise you about when you should have your vaccinations.
There are some types of vaccines (live vaccines) that you'll need to avoid until your immune system is fully functioning. Your specialist will tell you what vaccinations are safe for you to have and if there are any you should avoid.
For the first 3-6 months after the transplant, you'll still have to attend hospital regularly and may need blood transfusions|. As your blood counts improve and the gap between hospital visits gets longer, you can discuss holiday plans with your doctors. Remember to ask your doctor for advice on travel and discuss any vaccinations needed.
You'll usually be advised not to travel abroad in the first year after a transplant unless there's a nearby cancer treatment centre.
After the first year, your immune system should be working well, and you should be able to travel abroad. However, certain types of vaccinations (live vaccines) should be avoided. Again, talk about your plans with your transplant doctors. Your doctors can arrange to send details of your recent treatment if necessary. They may be able to suggest medical centres that could cope with complications if they arise.
It's helpful to carry a short letter from your doctor that outlines the treatment you've received and gives a contact telephone number.
You should avoid too much sun exposure in the first two years after your treatment, as it can trigger graft-versus-host| reactions. Always wear a long-sleeved shirt, a hat and a suncream with a high sun protection factor (SPF30 or higher) when you're in the sun.
People who've had cancer often find it difficult to get travel insurance. Our information on getting travel insurance| has a list of insurance companies that have specific policies for people who have, or have had, cancer. There's also a video of Alan talking about his experiences of travelling with cancer|.
A donor stem cell transplant won't affect your ability to have sex. But before leaving hospital, it's a good idea to check if there's any reason you can't go back to your normal sex life. If your platelet levels are low, you might be advised to avoid sex until they improve.
It's not unusual to find that your sex drive is reduced for some months after treatment. This may be because you feel anxious or low. You may have body changes, such as hair loss and weight loss, because of the treatment, and those changes can affect your confidence. Fatigue is a common problem after the donor stem cell transplant, and you may just feel too tired.
Some people may worry that sex will never be an important part of their life again. It often involves a period of adjustment for you and your partner, and with time, most difficulties can be overcome.
Cuddles, kisses and massages are affectionate and sensual ways of showing how much you care for someone, even if you don't feel like having sex. You can wait until you and your partner feel ready - there's no right or wrong time.
We have more information about sexuality and cancer|.
Women whose treatment has caused them to have an early menopause may have menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, dry skin, dryness of the vagina and a low sex drive.
Most women can be helped by hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which can relieve many of these symptoms. If your doctor hasn't already talked to you about HRT, it might be worthwhile asking them about it to see if it would be suitable for you.
Let your doctor or nurse know if you're having problems with your sex life. They may be able to reassure you, or there may be things that can be done to improve the problem.
If you feel uncomfortable talking to your doctor or nurse, you may want to call us|.
Some people may find it helpful to talk to a sex therapist. You can contact a therapist through the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists|.
In most cases, high-dose treatment causes women's periods to stop and will stop men from producing sperm. The effects on your fertility will depend on the intensity of the treatment you have. Your specialist will be able to advise you on how the treatment is likely to affect your fertility.
It's important to talk to your cancer specialist before treatment starts. There may be ways of preserving your fertility so that you may be able to have children in the future.
You can usually store sperm before your treatment starts. It can be used later along with fertility treatment when you're ready to have a family. Storing sperm for use in the future is also important for teenage boys. We have more information about cancer and fertility for men|.
It may be possible to store fertilised eggs (embryos) that can be used in the future when you're ready to try to get pregnant. If you don't have a partner, it may be possible to store unfertilised eggs. Collecting eggs can take several weeks, so there will need to be a delay in treatment. In some women, this may not be advised if treatment has to start sooner. A new and extremely experimental technique, which doesn't involve egg collection, is removing and freezing tissue containing eggs from an ovary.
Fertility is a very important part of many people's lives, and not being able to have children can seem especially hard when you already have to cope with cancer. Some people may find it helpful to talk through their feelings with a trained counsellor. If you need more specialised help, your doctor can arrange this for you. We have more information about cancer and fertility for women|.
Some side effects that develop during treatment may take a long time to improve or may occasionally become permanent (long-term effects). Other effects can develop years after treatment has finished (late effects).
A number of problems can occur after your transplant that may vary from being mild to more serious. This is due to the effects of the treatment you had before your transplant and is also because your new immune system is not as effective as your own.
Always let your doctor know about any problems you have.
Possible long-term or late effects include:
Many people go on to make a full recovery after a transplant with little or no health problems. You'll be followed-up for many years by your transplant team or a haematology team at your local hospital.

The following essay analysis the challenges in International Management with particular regard to the challenge of "culture" in international business as it is the must difficult to deal with and being essential for successful results in a wide range of global management tasks nowadays and in the future. Introduction
Today successful international management requires more than a lot of frequent flyer miles or seasoned expatriate managers. But what are those exclusive challenges of international management in today's world? The importance of international management is constantly increasing, as we exist in a world where globalisation is affecting the traditional borders in a broad range of areas. •Trade and investment,
•Economic alliances,
•The international stage players, and
•The work environment
are changing rapidly, being supported by the increasing sophistication and lower cost of information technology. World trade and investments are growing fast (the volume of world trade among countries has grown at an average rate over 8% since 2005 (WTO 2008)), linking the economies and creating opportunities and threats. New, strong and forced competitors are coming from developing nations in Asia and the transitioning economies of Eastern Europe. Furthermore, the constantly rising level of foreign direct investment also has a globalising effect (Thomas 2002). Moreover, the emergence of the free-trade areas drastically decreased traditional economic boundaries. So do the three largest groups, the EU, the NAFTA, and the APEC, account for nearly half of the world's trade (Cullen 2002) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) now has 140 member-nations, aiming to reduce tariffs and liberalize trade. But globalization also affects the work environments within organizations. Changes involve cutbacks, team-based management movements and privatization. For instance, there can be factory closings, as...

BELLE GLADE, Fla. — Because of trouble in other growing regions, prices for lettuce and celery remain higher than normal.
Except for lettuce, shippers say the December freezes caused little harm to most of those crops.
While Florida is known for its southern vegetables, the Sunshine State's grower-shippers also grow other vegetables such as lettuce, celery, radishes and broccoli during the fall, winter and spring.
A small tightening of supplies and increasing demand for Florida lettuce, however, have boosted lettuce prices.
Dan Shiver, co-owner of Hugh H. Branch Inc., Pahokee, said December freezes reduced supplies by 10%.
He quoted romaine selling for $30.95 for 24-count boxes, and escarole and endive in the mid- to upper $20s.
Shiver said romaine prices only increased in February while prices for the other lettuces increased in January.
"There is just exceptional demand for lettuce," he said in late February. "The market has been very active with high prices. I would expect high prices for the immediate future."
Shiver characterized quality as excellent and said shippers are receiving strong results from shipments.
Because of unfavorable West Coast weather, Jason Bedsole, sales manager of Eastern vegetables and citrus for Duda Farm Fresh Foods Inc., the fresh division of Oviedo-based A. Duda & Sons Inc., in late February said the deal has been strong this season, and said buyers should expect ample supplies and high quality.
He quoted $35 for cartons of lettuce.
Bedsole said lettuce didn't escape the December freezes.
"It had a bit of a slowdown but we're over that part," he said. "Lettuce should be fairly consistent throughout the rest of the deal."
Bedsole said Duda plans to ship lettuce through mid-April.
He said the deal went well last season and that Duda increased its acreage this year. Bedsole declined to state the acreage or volume.
Duda ships romaine, red leaf, green leaf, escarole, endive, napa, baby bok choy, parsley and cilantro.

Listen: Joey Badass 'Norwegian Breakfast'
The Smoker's Club dropped their OIL:710 mixtape earlier this week and it included a brand new cut from Joey Bada$$. On "Norwegian Breakfast" the Pro Era frontman wants everyone to see the world from the corner of his eye.
"An eye for an eye make the world go round/ An eye for a guy make your girl go down/ She sip this shit like it liquor, but coming out my god body it's like elixir," raps an unabashed Bad$$ on "Norwegian Breakfast." He doesn't hold back on the introspective track. "Bitches, money, and weed, same shit, just ignorance/ But how you expect me to act? Less black, less niggerish?/ Fuck that, money control all my niggas shit," he deliberates.
Lots of gems on this track. Add "Norwegian Breakfast" to your already beefy Joey Badass summer playlist. Download the Smoker's Club OIL:7:10 mixtape here.

Celebrity Cruises to "Solsticize" Millennium-Class Ships
(7:55 a.m. EST) -- At a stylish cocktail party last night at New York's Museum for Arts & Design,
Celebrity Cruises
kicked off its 20th anniversary by announcing a new tagline -- Designed for You -- and a multiyear plan to revitalize other ships in the fleet with now-popular
The term used by Celebrity President and CEO Dan Hanrahan? "Solsticize."
Hanrahan told the assembled crowd of travel agents, press and invited members of Celebrity's past-passenger program, Captain's Club, that because the Solstice class has proven to be such a game-changer for Celebrity -- it introduced the industry's first real, growing grass at the Lawn Club as well as the first hot glass show at sea and an icy martini bar -- the line will give its four Millennium-class ships a Solstice-inspired overhaul.
The cruise line will renovate one ship per year starting with
, which will enter its scheduled dry-dock in April 2010 (there's no concrete schedule yet for
). When all is said and done, it'll be an investment of nearly $200 million; the major intiative is similar to that undertaken in recent years by lines like Carnival and Holland America.
So, what can you expect on Constellation this spring, after it emerges from its makeover? Hanrahan tells us it'll "look like a brand-new ship." Here's a rundown:
Tuscan Grille
-- an Italian steakhouse found on Celebrity Solstice and
Celebrity Equinox
-- will be installed onboard, replacing the golf simulator and Magnolia Garden conservatory (because, as Hanrahan joked, the line was lucky if three people a year bought an Emilio Robba silk flower). Editor's note: We're told the Grille will be up and running 10 days after the ship re-enters service, so consider booking the second cruise after the dry-dock if you want to eat here.
Another new dining option, Bistro on Five, will be installed, taking the place of the champagne bar;
Bistro on Five
is an open-kitchen creperie that debuted on Solstice, featuring sandwiches, soups, and -- of course -- crepes. It's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and currently incurs a $5 per-person service charge.
On Deck 4, the "cool" ice-topped
Martini Bar
found on Solstice-class vessels will be added, along with
, an ice-filled table that serves as an annex to the Martini Bar for vodka tastings.
The Cova Cafe will be replaced with
Cafe al Bacio and Gelateria
, a coffee bar complex that includes a counter for creamy scoops of gelato.
Look, too, for the
wine system, introduced on Solstice, which serves guests a single glass of wine with the touch of a button. The wine bar takes the place of the old martini bar on Deck 5, since the ship will get Martini and Crush one deck down.
Along with all the new features come new color schemes, and fresh carpeting and upholstery in every public venue, including Celebrity Theater, Seaside Grill, the main dining room and Michael's Club. Staterooms will be updated with new carpeting, flat-screen TV's, upholstery and bedding, with suites getting all that plus all-new furniture.
While supping on appetizers like mini crab cakes and crostini, attendees at last night's reveal were given the opportunity to try out some of the "liquid" offerings in a seventh-floor space overlooking still-lit-for-the-holidays Columbus Circle. Vodka and gin martinis were prepared on a bar carved entirely out of ice, a la Crush -- and it got so much traffic, the Celebrity "X" logo was quickly melting. Meanwhile, at another bar, a team of Liquid Chefs, who operate a mixology program on Solstice and are coming to the Millennium class with the upgrades, added liquid nitrogen to drinks to make them steam. The Berry Patch, made with Brazilian Cachaca, was a hot item.
Also on display was the Enomatic system, and a "green screen" photo booth for attendees to get a "vacation" snapshot of themselves with their choice of background, such as the green Lawn Club. That, more than anything else on display at the museum, speaks to Celebrity's new tagline Designed for You, the idea of which is to give each cruise traveler the idea that their cruise vacation was created exclusively for them.
The new branding and marketing strategy was devised after an in-depth survey of 10,000 cruisers and agents, including in-home interviews with past and prospective guests.
The line's new logo rolled out at 12:01 a.m. -- look for new global TV ads from the line, too.

MRI for radiographersThis book gives a concise yet comprehensive description of the essential aspects of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The authors have aimed to incorporate as many aspects of MRI as possible from basic principles to advanced topics and to explain them in terms which can be understood by anyone regardless of their MRI experience. Included in this are descriptions of instrumentation and methods as well as a practical guide to safety and techniques. The authors' treatment of the subject distinguishes the book from other introductory texts by virtue of the extensive use of figures and tables. |

Gold Sovereign
Gold Sovereign Facts
The gold sovereign is a United Kingdom gold coin. It is now regarded as a bullion coin. This means that its greater value comes from the gold it is made from,even though it remains legal tender with a nominal value of £1 (one pound sterling). The sovereign gets its name from coins which were last minted when King James I was on the throne of England. The UK minted them from 1817-1917; again in 1925; and every year since 1957. Other former British colonies have minted gold sovereigns at some time in their history. These are predominantly Australia, Canada, India, Canada, and South Africa.
The gold content was fixed by the coin act of 1816 at 22 carat. The weight of a sovereign was constant from 1817 until 1971, when The Coin Act, implemented when the UK adopted the metric system of currency, changed the weight by a tiny fraction from 7.988052 to 7.98805 grams. These are the current dimensions of a UK gold sovereign:
- Fineness: 22 carat
- Weight: 7.98805 grams.
- Gold Content: 7.322381 grams.
- Thickness: 1.52mm
- Diameter: 22.05mm
You may have heard stories that a billion sovereigns have been minted and so you would expect them to be pretty common. That is not the case. During the reign of Queen Victoria, it was common for the Bank of England to take worn coins out of circulation and melt them down for recoining. This means that the billion includes a high proportion of the same coins that have been reissued over and over again.
It is also true that any coins that were sent abroad to pay foreign debts would have been melted down and turned into bars as a matter of course. Very many coins ended up in the USA and suffered this fate. It has been estimated that the number of gold sovereigns in circulation today could be as low as 10% of the total issued.
Many examples are worth more to coin collectors (or numismatists, as they are correctly called), than for the value of the metal they contain. It is important that you invest in a reference work before you buy and sell gold coins. For example, a 1923 South African sovereign minted in Pretoria can be worth up to £7,000. Early Victorian examples (1832 and 1833) can be valued at up to £5,000, depending on condition. There are many such examples.
British law has a minimum weight a sovereign must be to be considered legal tender. This is 7.93787 g – or 0.6% of the original weight. This was to allow for abrasion and it was reckoned that a coin in circulation would suffer this scale of decline after 15-20 years in circulation. It was common for crooks to take a leather bag containing gold coins and small stones and shake them together for many hours. The resulting gold dust was then collected and the process would be repeated. Around half of all Victorian sovereigns were kept as collateral or as bullion, and so were not in general circulation.
Sovereigns were minted in fairly large quantities until the First World War, which is when the UK withdrew from the gold standard. From 1917 until 1932, they were minted only in Australia, Canada, India, and South Africa. A tranche were produced in London in 1925 when Chancellor Winston Churchill attempted to get Britain back into the gold standard, but this failed.
We can thank British spies for the return of the gold sovereign in 1957. It appears that the British government was very keen for the coin to retain its value in the Middle East in the face of Syrian and Italian fakes that were beginning to flood the market. The newly minted gold coin was produced as bullion for 25 years, only to fall out of favour again in 1982. Tony Blair's Labour government re-minted from the year 2000 and it has been in production ever since.
Today the gold sovereign looks like a relatively small coin. At the turn of the 19th century its £1 value had the same buying power as £174 today. As gold is a dense metal, a coin contains a quarter of an ounce of metals, most of which is gold.
How To Spot A Fake
Gold is a difficult metal to counterfeit. It is one of the densest metals and therefore much heavier for comparable size or volume than the usual metals such as lead, brass, copper and steel that are used to make fake bullion coins. Fakes will be either oversize or underweight, or both, and an experienced coin dealer can usually spot such fakes right away as they are obviously underweight or are of the wrong size or thickness.
Nevertheless there are fake coins out there. Sometimes the gold is changed or alloyed with a substitute metal to look yellow and precious. A common method is to substitute 22 karat gold with 9 karat. Again, they can be spotted because of the difference in weight. Beginners are often taken in by this ruse and so they should be very careful where they purchase their sovereigns.

Be prepared is the famous motto of the Boy Scouts, coined by Lord Baden-Powell more than 100 years ago. Be prepared in body and be prepared in mind for whatever life throws your way (your duty) and, hopefully, all's well.
In baseball, preparation doesn't look the same from player to player or team to team. Some players need to pour over their notes and gather all available information on the pitchers they face, others prefer to stay within themselves and trust in their own abilities. No one process is right, it is all a matter of comfort and results.
The assembled coaching staff of a Major League team has a different mandate than the players. If anything, the coaching staff's preparation begins with knowledge of how their players prefer to approach their games.
The Providence Journal is two-thirds of the way through a tremendous look at the way the Boston Red Sox prepare under new manager John Farrell. The Sox skipper was able to build his ideal staff, included noted baseball gym rat Brian Butterfield, and the dividends appear clear on the field.
Tim Britton's first piece focuses largely on Butterfield, the former Yankees and Blue Jays infield instructor and third base coach who is known league-wide for making great infielders out of, well, out of just about every body. "Butter" is also the main architect of the Red Sox shifting infield defense, using video scouting to drill down on the ground ball tendencies of opposing hitters and positioning his defense accordingly.
In addition to Butterfield, the Red Sox also deployed their former advance scout as their bullpen coach in 2013. Joining Farrel's staff from Toronto is Brian Abraham, who worked as the Blue Jays video coordinator but now serves in a uniformed role, sitting in the bullpen with the Sox pitchers during games, his own memory banks of information at the ready if needed.
Is there a direct link between the Red Sox new found devotion to preparation and their hot start in 2013? Hard to say. It certainly doesn't hurt to prepare, to arm your team and players with as much information as they need. Some players might take to the approach better than others – all the team can do is make sure the info is there if they want it.
Even if nothing changed from the Bobby Valentine, learning that John Farrell and his team of assistants and coordinators are at least putting in the work to prepare the team is surely music to the ears of Red Sox fans. No need for an iconclast when a few determined individuals with an eye to a common goal are working hard to achieve it. Be prepared, indeed.

Hammer, Armand
Hammer, Armand
biographical name(born , May 21, 1898, New York, N.Y., U.S.died Dec. 10, 1990, Los Angeles, Calif.) U.S. industrialist and philanthropist. Hammer made his first million dollars in pharmaceuticals before earning his medical degree from Columbia University. He went to the Soviet Russia in 1921 to provide medical aid to famine victims and was persuaded by Vladimir Ilich Lenin to remain. His ventures, including a pencil manufacturing firm, were bought out by the Soviets in the late 1920s, and he returned to the U.S. laden with artworks formerly owned by the Romanov family. He increased his fortune in the U.S. through the whiskey and cattle industries and retired in 1956, but an investment in wildcat oil wells led to another career as head of the Occidental Petroleum Corp. (1957–90). He was a longtime advocate of broadening U.S.-Soviet trade ties. The Armand Hammer Museum in Los Angeles houses his art collection.

Translate this page Temecula man who led 'sextortion' scheme, including Miss Teen USA as target, sentencedMonday, March 17th, 2014 Issue 12, Volume 18.
Jared James Abrahams, 20, pleaded guilty in November to extortion. An FBI investigation last year revealed he had contacted multiple victims worldwide with threats of distributing revealing snapshots, obtained illegally, unless they yielded to his various sexually oriented demands. Abrahams will have to serve at least 85 percent of his sentence. U.S. District Judge James Selna also ordered that upon his release, Abrahams will be placed on three years of restrictive supervised release, including restrictions on his computer use, which must be approved by his probation officer. Abrahams also will undergo mental health treatment, and was ordered to stay away from the victims, Selna said. Abrahams, who has been free on bail, must report for prison by June 16. Selna recommended he be placed in a "camp-like" minimum-security prison near his family. Abrahams apologized for his crimes, but was repeatedly interrupted by a disapproving Selna when the defendant identified one of the victims, the reigning Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf. "First off, I send out my sympathies to Miss Cassidy, her mother..." Abrahams said before Selna cut him off and ordered the name struck from the court record. "I understand nothing I say will take back the fear and pain I brought to" the victims, Abrahams said, reading from a prepared statement. He emphasized he did not want to minimize his crimes. "I did what I did and I must live with my actions," Abrahams said, adding he wanted to express his "immense sorrow." Abrahams said he has benefited from a therapeutic program for adults with autism at UCLA and is enrolled in another one at Loma Linda University Medical Center. The therapy "has been very helpful to me in learning new ways to make friends," Abrahams said. "Everything I did was to have a feeling of a sense of involvement." Abrahams' parents also apologized for their son's behavior. The defendant's mother said her son has been diagnosed with the maturity of a 12- year-old and has long had issues relating to others. "I don't think anyone can understand how lonely he's been for 20 years," Abrahams' mother told Selna. The defendant's father said his son was first diagnosed with autism in the fourth grade. Until recently, there weren't many programs to help older children diagnosed with autism, the parents said. Wolf's mother told Selna how she and her family felt terrorized by the extortion. "There are no words to describe what you did to my daughter," Wolf's mother said to the defendant. "Please, your honor, it was terrifying Advertisement The single mom said the defendant threatened the beauty pageant winner with a "countdown clock" on her computer. "We lived in terror because Mr. Abrahams said he would come to our home or send stalkers to our home," Wolf's mother said, adding the family "jumped" every time the doorbell rang when they were not expecting company. Abrahams also sent 30 or 40 emails the first time he made contact with Wolf, threatening to ruin her reputation and "turn you into a porn star," according to the victim's mother. Abrahams made good on his threat, posting lewd photos of the victim, the victim's mother said. "She was a minor and he was an adult at the time," she said. "That's child pornography and I consider Jared Abrahams a sexual predator." The victim's mother implored Selna to order the defendant to be placed on a "Megan's Law" list, but the judge said the defendant was not charged with child pornography or any related crimes. Assistant U.S. Attorney Vibhav Mittal advocated for a 21-month sentence, but after the hearing he said he agreed with Selna that the defendant's mental health and age justified the lesser sentence. Selna, however, said, "I don't think autism is an excuse for his actions." Abrahams must be incarcerated instead of the home confinement his attorney, Alan Eisner, advocated, because "he made life hell for the (victims)," Selna said. The punishment must also deter other hackers, Selna said. "I need to also realize Mr. Abrahams is a human being, he has potential and the various techniques he used to attack (the victims) suggests to me he has an innate ability that can take him a long way if harnessed correctly," Selna said. Beginning last year and continuing through June, the freshman computer science major gained access to computers, email accounts and the social media accounts of his victims to obtain photos of them, sometimes nude, that were taken from webcams, according to the plea agreement. Abrahams threatened to embarrass the victims, including Wolf, by posting nude photos of them online if they did not agree to have online video phone conversations with him or send him more lewd photos of themselves, according to court papers. The defendant "extorted at least 12 young women in their late teens or early twenties in this manner," the plea agreement states. The victims, who are identified only by their initials in the agreement, were particularly vulnerable because of their age, "and at least one of the victims, C.W., was vulnerable to defendant's threats because she was a model," according to the agreement. Some victims hailed from as far away as Ireland and Canada, authorities said. 4 comments
Mr. Abrahams admitted in court to hacking up to 150 girls. At least three or four were students at Great Oak High School when he hacked their computers and webcams. He would pass them in the halls at high school during the day and then at night and weekend watch them silently through their webcams. They were minors when he stalked and took photos. But when he started attacking Cassidy on March 21st, 2013 he was an Adult and in college. The attacks were relentless around the clock for months, until a search warrant was served on his families home in Temecula. They all were demands to do as I say or else...
What a shame for this poor man. I didn't personally know him in high school, only through mutual friends and he never seemed like the type of person who would commit such a disruption. Thoughts and prayers to him and his family, as well as the families involved. Glad to hear he is in therapy and really trying to work through this!
A person claiming to be autistic as a way for a shorter sentence is just as sick and his actions. He is a sexual predator, and by all means should be charged as one. I wouldn't want my child exploited on the internet by someone who could be released from jail and not be on Megan's law.
Well with the way some of these young girls dress at school, as well as these revealing pictures they're posting on their social media, they're practically exploiting themselves!

Event already biggest in Los Angeles County expected to break half-million dollar fundraising record.
A record 100 teams are now signed up to participate in the American Cancer Society's 2008 SCV Relay For Life, scheduled for May 31 to June 1 at Central Park on Bouquet Canyon Road. The event drew a record 87 teams last year and the 100-team goal for 2008 has been a long-time dream for the local event, according to Team Captain Chair Brandi Newquist.
The teams will be gathering May 15 for campsite selection, which is handled by appointment according to each team's registration date. The final monthly team captain meeting is 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 21, at Valencia Hills clubhouse and will be devoted to logistics and fine tuning the day-of-event schedule.
In addition to raising funds before the actual Relay and agreeing to keep a member on the track for the full 24-hour Relay period, teams are encouraged to host their own fund-raising activities at their campsites during the event. Teams in past years have offered prize drawings, sold food and souvenirs, and offered services to Relay walkers in an effort to raise additional funds.
This year's overall goal for Relay is $500,000 to fund the American Cancer Society's programs of research, education, advocacy and patient services for all types of cancer. The local Relay, already the No. 1 Relay For Life event in Los Angeles County, has been approaching the $500,000 mark for several years and this year's record team organization is expected to push the event toward a new record.
Relay For Life is a 24-hour walking event in which teams commit to raise funds for the American Cancer Society and keep at least one member on the track for the full 24 hours in recognition of the fact that "cancer never sleeps."
Highlight of each year's Relay is the emotional Luminaria Ceremony, in which participants walk in silence on a darkened track lighted only by candles in luminaria bags and the candles that walkers carry. The ceremony starts at 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 31, and is expected to draw thousands of participants who walk to remember cancer victims, honor cancer survivors and thank caregivers.
Teams of 8 to 15 walkers can still join this year's SCV Relay For Life by visiting the Web site at www.scvrelay.org. Donors can also support their favorite teams and walkers by donating online through the site.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) is the nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. ACS works toward that goal by preventing cancer, saving lives from cancer, and diminishing suffering from cancer by supporting research, education, advocacy and service.
Cancer information is available 24 hours a day at www.cancer.org or by calling (800) ACS-2345. Santa Clarita Valley Relay For Life information is available by calling 298-0886, option 3, or contacting staff member Danielle Anziano at email@example.com. Volunteers interested in joining the local Relay can contact the local co-chairs at firstname.lastname@example.com.

In addition to the winner scoring a recording contract, the final three singers also won a Kia vehicle announced during their backlot tour on a stop to Whoville.
Celine Dion made another appearance as she sang "Incredible" with Ne-Yo. Will and Aloe Blacc teamed up to sing "Wake Me Up."
Tessanne called back James Wolpert, Olivia Henken, Grey, and Preston Pohl for a group performance of Sam and Dave's "Hold On I'm Comin.'" On the tail end of this rendition was a sight to behold as Blake Shelton attempted to learn the "naked chicken dance" from Nic Hawk.
The best and most surreal pairing of the night was Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera singing "Do Want You Want." In addition to the eye-popping sight of two divas sharing the stage, was Lady Gaga's gold-gilded shoulder pads that looked as if they could sturdily hold up the universe. "This is the first time we've ever met," Christina told Carson. Best performance of the season?
As the final three give their coaches their thank you's and goodbye's, Carson Daly announced "one of your lives will change forever....."
A shocked and tearful Tessanne rejoiced in her win, with her mom and husband in the wings. She sang her debut single "Tumbling Down" amidst a confetti storm and all that well-deserved applause.
Congratulations, Tessanne!
Did the right singer/team win? What are your thoughts on the season? Sound off in the comments!
