Claude Julien to Jonathan Toews: 'Try it again' on Zdeno Chara
|06.22.13 at 2:14 pm ET
CHICAGO — Bruins coach Claude Julien was very aware of the comments by Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews after Game 4. In the hours before Game 5 here Saturday, Julien said if Chicago thinks they can attack and expose Zdeno Chara, then go for it.
"I mean, they're allowed their comments," Julien said. "If that's what they think, then they should try it again. A lot of people have tried to figure out Zdeno, and he's the type of player he is. People talk about five goals against, but were they all his fault? None of them were his fault, actually.
Chara was a minus-3 on Wednesday night in Game 4 and was on the ice for five of the six Chicago goals, leading several Blackhawks – including Toews – to say they had success by not being intimidated by the 6-foot-9 36-year-old Bruins captain.
Julien said stats don't mean nearly as much in the eyes of his coaching staff as the presence Chara provides on the ice.
"Just one of those situations where we feel he's one of our best players on our team," Julien said. "He's one of the best defensemen in the league, so I don't think there's too many flaws in his game. But if they want to think that way, they're entitled to it. I have no response to that except to know that my player is going to be good and ready tonight, and they can try it again if that's what they think."

Wonderful guesthouse with beautiful grounds, elegant decor, and expansive views from the porch. Welcoming and helpful hosts. Best breakfast and coffee we had on the island.
We had a great time staying here. Michael, Greg and Hannah were so wonderful, they all went above and beyond to accommodate our every need. The B&B is clean, organized, and the hosts are a great source of information for food, drinks and local activities. We will definitely be returning here again, and had a great time meeting the other people staying here as well.
What an amazing place! After the precarious climb up the drive way we were greeted by the house manager Hannah, who served us Mango Juice and homemade chocolate chip cookies.
The room was clean and exceptionally decorated with fresh flowers, the house hosts amazing views of the bays below Captain Cook. My wife and I cannot say enough great things about this place.
We only booked for 1 night and I am disappointed we did not stay more. We checked in late, but it was a perfect time to enjoy the hot tub underneath the stars, later we rinsed off in the nearby lava rock, outdoor showers. I really felt as though I received the true Hawaiian experience staying at this house.
Michael was in the kitchen in the morning whipping up everything from quiches to fresh fruit smoothies while chatting up all the guests.
We cannot wait to head back to the Big Island to stay at this place again!
This was truly paradisio- Captain Cook as a location is a particularly tropical edge on the Volcanic Island. Michael is a generous and cheerful host - helpful with advice as requested and non-intrusive. He regulalry bakes some goodies and prepares fresh and hearty breakfasts. Our room was tasteful, bed and pillows were comfortable, and apart from Island sounds it was quiet and easy to sleep through.
We enjoyed the location, close enough to town, far enough from town.
The front verandah as shown in the photo is a glorious location to wake up and to watch the sunset.
For us, the BnB was perfect and would recommend it heartily. Life is too short to miss out on this experience...
We stayed at the plantation for 2 nights and it was one of the most memorable vacation stays for us. The sunset from the lanai was breathtaking. Michael, Greg, Hannah and their adorable pup are so kind. It felt as if we were visiting our family. They advised us on beaches to visit, restaurants, gave us beach gear, the list goes on and on...they were not just owners of the plantation but they really took care of us.
Each morning they would serve delicious and very healthy breakfast, eggs, fresh fruits that they grow, pancakes and more. My favorite was the pancake with coconut sauce. It was amusing to watch the little green geckos playing and eating out of our plates and drinking mango juice from our glass. At night we would sit out on the lanai with a glass of wine and look at stars.
You can use the shower indoors but they have lovely lava rock showers outdoors. It was fun to shower amidst all the plants.
We had such a good time at their plantation, I wish we could have stayed there longer. I highly recommend Ka'awa Loa. Mahalo to the wonderful people who live there.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Relaxed atmosphere, great hospitality, beautiful views, fine breakfast, and a great location close to mystical snorkeling! We'll be back. Thank you such a fine place to stay on the Big Island.
What a magical place to stay! Michael, Greg and Hanna are all such warm, thoughtful and interesting people; they were incredible hosts. As soon as we got there, Hanna brought out snacks for us of fresh local fruits, nuts and juice. What a welcome! The guest rooms were actually even more beautiful and relaxing than the write ups (with beautiful plants, little fragrant flowers from their gardens, thoughtful Hawaiian books and local magazines, spa robes and towels, etc). The common areas both on the lanai and in the common spaces all had great views and the fostered conversation with other interesting guests. They have a great hot tub with a view overlooking the old plantation/garden and ocean which is in great shape (hot tubs can be sketchy, right? Theirs is impeccable). The food... I have never eaten so well! Besides being incredible chefs and entertainers, they've gathered quite a collection of all the menus from surrounding restaurants and have it organized well so you can plan that part out. They also make great recommendations for local tours and offer to make arrangements for them. We definitely want to come back!

Sundance Movie Review: Hesher
Posted on Saturday, January 23rd, 2010 by Peter Sciretta
In 2008, I discovered a wonderful short film titled I Love Sarah Jane by commercial and music video director Spencer Susser. I loved it so much, I even featured it on /Film (you can watch it here — and if you haven't yet, you really need to). The short was a very different kind of zombie film, nothing like you've ever seen before — in the same way Let The Right One In was a different kind of vampire film than you've ever seen before. After seeing this short film, I definitely was in to see anything Susser was to produce.

David Walsh (journalist)
David Joseph Walsh (born 17 June 1955) is an Irish sports journalist, who is chief sports writer of the British newspaper The Sunday Times. He is a four-time Irish Sportswriter of the Year and a three-time UK Sportswriter of the Year. Walsh was the key journalist in uncovering the doping program by Lance Armstrong and the US Postal Service Cycling Team. Walsh was vindicated when Armstrong was stripped of all his seven of his Tour titles, and banned from cycling for life, on October 22, 2012.[1]
Walsh began his career as a cub reporter on the Leitrim Observer, where he worked his way up to become editor at 25. He left the paper to join the Dublin-based daily the Irish Press. In 1984 he took a year out to cover cycling sport in Paris. Returning to his Dublin-based paper after that year he ultimately left in 1987 to work for the Sunday Tribune before moving onto the rival Sunday Independent four years later. Walsh joined The Sunday Times in Ireland in 1996 and began working on the story about doping in professional cycling shortly after moving to England in 1998.[2]
Walsh was the ghost writer for cricketer Kevin Pietersen's autobiography, published in October 2014.[3]
Investigation on doping within cycling[edit]
Referred to as the 'Little Troll' by Lance Armstrong,[4] Walsh along with fellow Irishman and Sunday Times journalist Paul Kimmage, led the way in exposing the systematic doping rife within cycling, in particular the US Postal Team and its leader Lance Armstrong. Walsh revealed in the Sunday Times in 2001 after a two-year investigation that Armstrong was working with the controversial Italian doctor Michele Ferrari. Under the headline "Champ of Cheat?" The Sunday Times asked in 2001 why a clean rider would work with a dirty doctor.[5]
Walsh's books on Armstrong include L.A. Confidentiel (2003 with Pierre Ballester), in which Armstrong's soigneur Emma O'Reilly revealed that she has taken clandestine trips to pick up and drop off what she concluded were doping products, From Lance to Landis: Inside the American Doping Controversy at the Tour de France, and Seven Deadly Sins: My Pursuit of Lance Armstrong (2012).
Reacting to the confessions Armstrong made in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, broadcast on 17 and 18 January 2013, Walsh said that "the interview was fine in as far as it went, but it did not go nearly far enough, and even in as far as it went I was particularly disappointed that he didn't admit what might be called the hospital room admission from 1996.[6]". Walsh was also disappointed that Armstrong failed to "name names".[7]
Before Winfrey did the interview, Walsh's Sunday Times bought a full-page ad in the Chicago Tribune—Winfrey lives in Chicago—to suggest 10 questions she should ask.[8] The Sunday Times lost a libel suit over Walsh's coverage and Walsh wrote in a postscript to his 10 questions in The Tribune: "The Sunday Times is seeking to recover about $1.5m (million) it claims he got by fraud. He used Britain's draconian libel laws against us.".[9]
Referring to the battle against doping in cycling sport on a global scale Walsh said in January 2013 in an interview with Global Cycling Network (GCN) that "cycling needs new leadership" and that Greg LeMond "could serve as interim UCI president in an effort to pressure Pat McQuaid to leave his post".[10]
On 29 January 2013 the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said it is "dismayed" by the way cycling's global governing body has handled the fallout from the Lance Armstrong affair and accused it of being "deceitful" and "arrogant". John Fahey, the president of WADA concluded that "UCI has again chosen to ignore its responsibility" to cycling.[11]
In October 2013 it was announced that his book Seven Deadly Sins: My Pursuit of Lance Armstong was to be adapted into a film, starring Chris O'Dowd as Walsh and Ben Foster as Armstrong. Stephen Frears is to direct the film.[12]

Did climate change cause the original Mayan apocalypse?
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating is associate editor at Foreign Policy and the editor of the Passport blog. He has worked as a researcher, editorial assistant, and deputy Web editor since joining the FP staff in 2007. In addition to being featured in Foreign Policy, his writing has been published by the Washington Post, Newsweek International, Radio Prague, the Center for Defense Information, and Romania's Adevarul newspaper. He has appeared as a commentator on CNN International, C-Span, ABC News, Al Jazeera, NPR, BBC radio, and others. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he studied comparative politics at Oberlin College.
Despite what much of Russia seems to believe, the ancient Mayans most likely did not believe the world would end next week. But of course, the world as they knew ended more than 1,000 years ago. A paper published in Science last month by Penn State Anthropologist Douglas Kennett and others suspects an earlier period of climate change may have been the reason:
The role of climate change in the development and demise of Classic Maya civilization (300 to 1000 C.E.) remains controversial because of the absence of well-dated climate and archaeological sequences. We present a precisely dated subannual climate record for the past 2000 years from Yok Balum Cave, Belize. From comparison of this record with historical events compiled from well-dated stone monuments, we propose that anomalously high rainfall favored unprecedented population expansion and the proliferation of political centers between 440 and 660 C.E. This was followed by a drying trend between 660 and 1000 C.E. that triggered the balkanization of polities, increased warfare, and the asynchronous disintegration of polities, followed by population collapse in the context of an extended drought between 1020 and 1100 C.E.
Just how bad did things get during this long dry period?
Historical texts on stone monuments were dedicated in at least 39 centers from 750 to 775 C.E., with rulers commissioning monu-ments at several large centers at unprecedentedrates. These texts point to a dynamic and unstable geopolitical landscape centered on status rivalry, war, and strategic alliances (28). A precipitous drop in the number of texts at key centers (such as Tikal) between 775 and 800 C.E. was the precursor to a 50% drop in the number of centers with text-dated monuments between 800 and 825 C.E., which is evidence for widespread failure of these political systems. Increasing interpolity warfare (Fig. 2A) is most evident in the historical record between 780 and 800 C.E. Political power became decentralized as the institution of divine kingship collapsed between 780 and 900 C.E.
Another recent item on Smithsonian Magazine's site, suggests that an unusually warm and wet period in the early 1200 facilitated Genghis Khan's expansion across Eurasia.
We might like to think that our own institutions are a bit less vulnerable to the elements than these civilizations, but then again — the climate we may be in for will likely be much more unusual.

A total of 95 animals from llamas to goats and turkeys are being treated by local veterinarians, some of them receiving treatment for worms, lice and malnutrition.
Many animals are already finding homes. Five horses were adopted yesterday by a Spokane County riding school.
The owner, who asked to have her school remain unnamed for privacy purposes, stopped by the fairgrounds on Wednesday afternoon to look at even more horses. She's worked with SCRAPS in the past with horses. She hopes they'll work out for English-style riding lessons and summer camps for kids.
Among the adult animals, there are some younger horses, a colt and filly who SCRAPS staff are gentling to be more comfortable with people through steady brushing.
In one stall, there's a group of adult sheep with three lambs. One lamb was spotted nestling in the hay against the wall. That lamb was born Tuesday this week.
Some of the animals are all available for adoption including some turkeys at the SCRAPS headquarters. SCRAPS hopes to place them all in healthy homes where they'll be cared for. If you're interested, you'll need to fill out an adoption application, call the shelter at (509) 477-2532 or visit them at 2521 N. Flora Road.
Donations are needed as well. They can be made online at their website and at their shelter during business hours.

City awards grant to Arts Council Menifee
All told, the city is receiving about $370,000 for its CDBG action plan, 5 percent less than last year's allocation. The rest of the money will go toward the city's minor home repair grant program, a senior community center rehabilitation and the Lazy Creek Recreation Center rehabilitation, as well as about $70,000 for planning and administrative costs.
Arts Council Menifee planned to use its share for two one-week arts programs in June for underprivileged students at Quail Valley and Romoland elementary schools.
"We're pleased with the wisdom of the majority of the City Council," said Bill Zimmerman, the arts council's vice president. "With state funding cuts to schools ... this may be the only way these kids can find out what they can do artistically, and they will have City Council to thank for it."

Are TreTorn Pressureless Balls hard on the elbow/arm?
I just got a ball machine and have had some issues with tennis elbow in the past. I was thinking about getting some TreTorn Pressureless balls for the ball machine since they last so long, but then I think I read somewhere that these pressureless balls are actually much harder on the arm and elbow than regular balls. Is that true?
Yes, very hard on the shoulders. even worse than the Dunlop heavy duty balls
I bought a 3 pack because I was curious about how it plays in regular rallies. It didn't really feel all that much harder than a new ball out of a can. Though my friend was having troubles with playing with a 10oz racquet vs me playing with a racquet almost 13oz.
I wouldn't make a decision on these balls based on one persons option, no offence to the poster..
The Micro-x balls are fine, buy a few and try them out first for yourself
In my opinion, use pressureless and make sure to take breaks. I think people tend to use a machine too much in consecutive fashion. I use regular balls and keep them pressurized, but they still soften up even though they have the same pressure...due to felt loss and rubber getting squeezed. A new ball out of the can will feel a little harder and I think pressureless will mimic this feeling the best -longer. After going through 120 balls three times, that's about an hour for me and your arm will feel it even with regular balls. I don't think it matters which ball, it's personal preference either way, just take breaks.
There is new version: MicroX Comfort, check it out
There are several versions of Tretorn balls.
There is also a pressured ball with a treatment that helps keep the pressure good, a chemical lining, I think. It is the Serie ball, as used in Challenger matches. I found them very true, with a slightly lower bounce, and they keep the pressure well.
There is also the Comfort version of the pressure less ball. It is less 'hard' than the original X ball.
They do sound a little different when you hit them. IMHO a whole lot better than a flat dog tired Wilson etc. I really don't like the extra duty versions of some balls like Slazenger, and find them hard.
A tube of Head ATPs would last me about four hours indoors, spread over a max of two days, after that they are fit for the bin, so maybe I like a hard ball.
I think Uncle Toni made Nadal play with rubbish balls, strings etc to teach him that a winning attitude has nothing to do with perfect conditions.
So try out some of the Tretorns and don't go by other people's experience that is based solely on the very first Tretorns on the market.
Thanks for all the responses. I wasn't even aware Tretorn made a comfort ball. Does anyone know if there are any drawbacks to this ball when compared to their standard Micro X Ball?
Also, I am surprised to see just how difficult it is to find that comfort ball being sold anywhere in a batch of 72. I can't even find a review on the comfort ball. If anyone has any additional information I would appreciate it.
I have found that the regular Micro-X (not the new Comfort version) play very, very close to regular pressurized balls and are not at all hard on the arm/wrist (and I have recently been recovering from injuries). In contrast, traditional pressureless balls feel rock hard to me.
================================================== ==
If there is a comfort variant try it. Like other poster have said, the regular pressureless balls will make actual blood drip from your elbow.
I recently purchased some Tretorn MicroX pressureless balls for use in my ball machine. I've used them a few times with my wife and son - we all thought they hit like regular tennis balls.
The Tretorns had to be mail-ordered and they were the exact same price everywhere I looked, but I am glad I got them.
Previously, we'd been using Penn pressureless balls and we all agreed that the Tretorns felt better.
tretorn micro x hit very similar to regular ball and will unlikely cause elbow issue. The rubber core of the ball is not hard like other pressureless ball that use hard rubber to maintain the bouce. Some people feel that micro x hit heavy is because of the sound and not the weight of the ball. Because the ball is not hollow, it is filled with millions of microcell and regular ball is empty but air. The effect of bouce and impact is pretty much the same between micro x and regular pressure ball. I would say that micro x ball need some break in time and these balls will play very similar to regular pressure balls yet they keep the right bouce forever.

Concert review: Fusion flight of easy listening by Tze and ensemble
Published on Mar 3, 2014 12:59 PM
In this concert from Esplanade's Spectrum series for contemporary music, there was an unexpected whiff of the centre's Mosaic series for jazz, fusion and indie music.
That was because Tze n Looking Glass Orchestra, founded by local jazz pianist and largely self-taught composer Tze Toh, is more a fusion band than an avant-garde instrumental ensemble.
Its present guise is in effect a 21st century globalised manifestation of the concerto grosso ensemble from the baroque era, complete with a central nucleus of soloists, back-up musicians of strings, woodwinds and brass, with Tze helming the basso continuo including bass and electric guitar.
The concertino group is decidedly cross-cultural Asian, including Chinese erhu player Dai Da, Indian violinist/raga specialist Lazar T. Sebastine and jazz saxophonist Teo Boon Chye. Although improvisation plays a big part for the soloists, the music composed by Tze crosses over comfortably between genres, with pop song idioms and film music being a considerable influence as well.

2 computer shops lose P.5M to robbers in Caloocan City
More News from Nathaniel R. Melican
The owners of two computer shops in Caloocan City lost nearly half a million pesos worth of equipment to thieves who broke into their establishments.
Geralyn Tabano, owner of Kenz and MJ Gamer Hawz Computer Shop on Larangay Street corner Padas Alley, told the police that she lost 10 central processing units and 10 computer monitors worth P180,000.
On the other hand, Dennis Canlas who owns Asobi Computer Shop on William Shaw Street, reported that thieves made off with 13 desktop computers sets which included the CPUs, monitors and keyboards. The cost of the equipment was estimated at around P300,000.
Police reports showed that Tabano was woken up by her neighbors at 3 a.m. Tuesday after they noticed that her computer shop's roller guard shutters and glass door were open. When she went to the establishment to check, she found out that someone had taken the computers and immediately reported it to the police.
Meanwhile, the caretaker of Asobi Computer Shop discovered the theft when he went to the establishment at 5 a.m. to prepare for its opening.
In both cases, the police found out that the robbers had destroyed the padlocks securing the computer shops' main doors and rolling guard shutters.
The police have yet to identify the thieves in both cases although they are not discounting the possibility that it may have been carried out by the same group.

Long-married Brooklyn couples celebrate their love
The borough's longest lasting love pair may be Fortuno and Maddalena Corso, who tied the knot in Italy as teenagers 72 years ago.
"I liked her and so I got married," says Fortuno, 89, a retired construction worker who still speaks Italian with his wife, who doesn't speak any English. "You've got to love each other and you've got to work at it together."
Their daughter Madeline, one of the couple's seven children, lives with her parents in their Bensonhurst home. She said for years her mother has done everything for her father - cooking dinner, maintaining the home and even washing his shoulders in the bath.
"My family, we tease them, we say, `Ma, you're married 70 years, if you get divorced you get more than half," says the daughter. "She tells everybody, `Listen, you make sure you love them and you respect them, that's your best friend.'"

Does Germany Still Want the Jews?
Questions are emerging about Germany's Jewish future
On Saturday at Bebelplatz, the site where thousands of books were torched by the Nazis in 1933 for being "un-German," roughly 300 German Muslims and Jews gathered to rally against the court ruling in Cologne back in May, which banned non-medical circumcision.
They also were protesting a legal solution offered by the Berlin State Ministry of Justice that would allow ritual circumcisions only by medical practitioners. Jewish and Muslim leaders have vehemently rejected the solution, as have organizations dedicated to child protection. The latter has vowed to fight the ruling to the German Supreme Court if necessary in order to protect the rights of children to remain unharmed.
The rally-goers were buoyed by support from 50 different organizations including the German Protestant Church and the Berlin archbishopric. The former chairwoman of the Jewish community in Berlin spoke as well as the current chairman of the sizable Turkish community.
Despite an event like this or a recent rally following a brutal attack on a rabbi, the German newspaper Der Spiegel devoted some serious space in its Sunday paper to report on the status of the German Jewish community, specifically to ask whether or not Jews see a future for themselves in Germany.
The responses were startling. Take Charlotte Knobloch for example. A mainstay of the community, she served as the chairwoman of the Central Council of Jews in Berlin and wrote a book in defense of her decision to live in Germany. The book won't be published until October, but in the past few months the tenor of the circumcision debate has seemingly changed her entire outlook on the viability of Jewish life in Germany.
Since late June, when the Cologne regional court ruled that doctors who circumcise a boy for religious reasons can be accused of committing bodily injury, it seems as if everything has changed for her. "I seriously ask if this country still wants us," she wrote in an editorial for daily Süddeutsche Zeitung last week. In her view, circumcision is an essential ritual of the Jewish faith. She was surprised by how many opponents of the practice spoke out, especially doctors and lawyers. Some simply wanted to prevent children being circumcised, but others seemed to suggest that Jews and Muslims wanted to wantonly mutilate and traumatize their children.
Knobloch wrote that she had defended the continued presence of Jews in Germany for decades, "even though Jews are abused verbally and beaten so badly they need to be hospitalized." She also said that Jewish religious foundations were being "dragged through the mud" by the debate, which "casts doubt over the future of the already tiny Jewish population in Germany."
Recent events point to an unmooring of sorts for the Jews of Germany. In addition to the circumcision debate, which Jews see as an attack on a basic tenet of their faith, and the recent assault on Rabbi Daniel Alter (which led the chancellor of the rabbinical seminary in Potsdam to instruct his students not to wear kippot in public), recent revelations surrounding the ham-fisted police response to the 1972 massacre at the Munich Olympics have seemingly made old wounds raw.
Much has converged in recent months. First, there was the 40th anniversary of the massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, an event which once again highlighted the ignorance of Germany's police officers and politicians. Then there was Günter Grass' controversial poem about Israel. Some have also been offended by the fact that Judith Butler, a vocal critic of Israel, will be awarded the Adorno Prize this week.
And then there are the repeated attacks on Jews, mostly by right-wing extremists, but also by Muslims. In the first half of 2012, there were 13 violent attacks, 11 of them carried out by neo-Nazis. Although Jews and Jewish establishments in Germany were attacked on only 16 occasions in 2011, compared with 114 in France, this is no cause for celebration.

Honda "feeling" by Wieden & Kennedy London
Agency: Wieden & Kennedy
Rating: 5.0
By Alex Donohue, brandrepublic.com, Thursday, 15 November 2007 12:20PM
The motorbike team, which has confirmed Shane Byrne and Leon Camier as its new riders for the 2008 season, has retained Wrigley's Airwaves as its main sponsor following a deal managed by sports marketing company Generate Sponsorship.
As part of the agreement, the Ducati team will participate in promotional activity for Wrigley's Airwaves.
This includes a Generate Sponsorship-devised "Kick up a gear" campaign, which will be backed by a host of English sportsmen, including cricketer Liam Plunkett, rugby union player Lewis Moody and the Airwaves Claygate Powerboat team.
Wrigley's Airwaves began its association with the Ducati team in 2005 -- the year it won the British Superbike championship and came second in the Constructor's Championships.
In July, Airwaves secured a year-long principal sponsorship deal for the Claygate Offshore Powerboat team, which extends to ITV4 promotional coverage.
Toby Baker, marketing director at Wrigley's Airwaves, said: "We have had a fantastic three years with the team and we are looking forward to more great racing next season.
"Airwaves Ducati will be central to Wrigley's Airwaves Pro activity next year."

Valentino's, in Lincoln, Nebraska, had an unusual walk-in ordert this past week when a man crashed his car into the pizzeria, and proceeded to order a pizza from his car window. The elderly driver had got his foot stuck on the gas while driving, and luckily, the car was just small enough to drive through the large door, and no one was in the way. He was checked out by paramedics and was perfectly fine.
Witness Don Brouse said "His foot had stuck on the gas and he was going to go ahead and order some pizza—so he wasn't too upset about it, evidently, but it sure was a surprise to us."

Re: Why All the Absurd Circumnavigation Threads?
So, I spent about 5 minutes doing the most basic of searches using DuckDuckGo (my preferred general search tool). I easily came up with a whole database of
USCG Accident Statistics
(a fascinating tool), and more broader stats from COSPAS-SARSAT:
From the global stats you can see a general rise in alerts that COSPAS-SARSAT assisted with, although a rather stable level of alerts where COSPAS-SARSAT was the only responder. I can't interpret this without further analysis, but on the surface this could support James' top-level assertion.
I'm not looking to write an article on all this (although perhaps I should
). If I was then I would take the time to do the analysis. But my very cursory search suggests the data IS available.
I guess my real point is it kinda drives me nuts when unsupported assertions are made about things when data is available, and can actually answer the question. We don't have to guess, to rely on our small anecdotal experiences, or to rely on our gut. For these kinds of question, the answers are available if we take the time to look.
Why go fast, when you can go slow.

NASA-- Last month, when the sun unleashed the most intense radiation storm since 2003, peppering satellites with charged particles and igniting strong auroras around both poles, a group of high school students in Bishop, California, knew just what to do.
They launched a rubber chicken.
The students inflated a helium balloon and used it to send the fowl, named Camilla, to an altitude of 120,000 ft where she was exposed to high-energy solar protons at point blank range.
Many space enthusiasts already know Camilla as the mascot of NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. With help from Stanford University's Romeo Durscher, Camilla corresponds with more than 20,000 social media followers.
Camilla's trip to the stratosphere gave us a chance to talk to thousands of people about the radiation storm, Durscher said.

How Do I Change Text Input Modes On My TracFone SGH-T401G Phone?
The TracFone SGH-T301G handset features two different methods to change the current text input mode.
Quick Text Input Mode
The pound key ( # ) functions as the Quick Text Input Mode button. Press and hold it to switch the key entry functions from T9 Mode or Alphabet Mode. Press and hold the asterisk key ( * ) to enable the Symbols Mode.
Traditional Text Input Mode
The right soft key functions as the Text Input Mode button. Press it to switch the key entry functions from T9 Mode, ABC Mode, Numeric Mode and Symbols Mode.
Note: There are no configurable options available to change the default text input mode.
T9 Mode
The T9 mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter; for example, pressing the 5 key can enter J, K, or L. The T9 mode automatically compares the series of keystrokes you make with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional Alphabet mode.
Note: If more than one word shares the same numeric sequence (such as, "263" for both "and" & "cod"), T9 Word provides the most commonly used word (such as, "and" for "263"). Briefly press the down navigation key to display other words, if any are available.
Tip: Briefly press the pound key ( # ) to change the following case styles:
Alphabet Mode
This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labeled with the letter you want. Press the keypad letter once, twice, three, or four times until it displays.
Tip: Briefly press the pound key ( # ) to change the following case styles:
Numeric Mode
This mode allows you to enter the numbers on the keypad.
Symbols Mode
This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks, periods, exclamation marks, etc.

Credit Card details

During the last week I went to a very well known London restaurant three times. Each time I used a credit card and the last time I went the hand held machine ran out of paper just after it had printed the 'Merchants' copy and before it could print the customers copy. I was given the Merchants copy and told they would print themselves another copy for their records. No problem so far.
When I got home I noticed that both of the first two customer copies of CC bills from that restaurant had just the last four numbers of my CC on it BUT the Merchants copy had the full number. Given that the receipt always has the expiry date on it all that is necessary is for the waiter to appear to drop your card and then spot the security number on the back as he picks it up and he is well away!
Why on earth should the merchant need your full CC number on printed paper when the whole transaction is authorised and actioned electronically?

I must confess that I am not entirely convinced by their argument and phrases such as 'Fraud being committed in the manner your reader suggests is very rare, however in the unlikely event of it occurring, cardholders should not be held liable for any fraudulent purchases' certainly do not instil any feelings of confidence whatsoever!
Thanks once again for your help and, if my company ever bother to reply I'll post their 'words of wisdom'.

You're welcome.
I suppose that if VISA says that fraud of this nature is very rare it must be so - they should know, after all.
They're also right about you not being liable for fraudulent purchases - that's the case, no matter what method is used, as long as you didn't do anything to facilitate the fraud. You didn't do anything to jeopardise your card details in this case, and if you hadn't seen the merchant's copy of the transaction slip you wouldn't even have known that your full card number appeared on it.

You could be right but, being somewhat cynical, unlawfully obtained credit card details are sold for large sums of money before being fraudulently used. A couple of years ago my card details were used to obtain about £10,000 worth of kitchen equipment and other stuff. Nobody ever found out how, or from where, the details had been obtained BUT it would be so easy for an unscrupulous waiter to have obtained this information and sold it on and, despite what Visa say, how on earth could they have known whether it was from merchant copies of transactions or other means?
I didn't lose out directly from the unlawful use of my card details and the credit card company certainly didn't. It is all of us, purchasers and retailers,who are paying for it.
Phew! I feel better for that - for the time being anyway.

On a general point, and as one who has just been victim of 'on-line' fraud, it seems very odd that the so-called 3-digit 'security number' is on the card at all. It would be better, sent seperately in the post, as PIN's are. It is this number, which is often used in purchases by phone, and not the PIN, and yet it is on the card, visible to many waiters, shop assistants, etc.
