High in the Himalayas of Nepal, Kopan Buddhist Monks are praying for a man named "Jimmy P."
Halfway around the world, American Sufi Muslims join in. Fundamentalist Christians add their prayers, as do Orthodox Jews at Jersualem's Western Wall.
"Jimmy P," a heart patient at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina, is part of a global scientific experiment trying to find out: Does prayer heal?
The experiment was launched by Dr. Mitch Krucoff, a cardiologist at Duke University Medical Center.
"If in addition to all the prayer routinely going on all the time, we were to add prayers from religious groups all over the world focused on one individual's recovery, is there a measurable incremental benefit?" he wondered. So he is putting prayer to the test in a global scientific study that is scheduled to be completed next year.
Putting Faith to the Test
In the meantime, other scientists are taking a look at the 191 studies that have already been done on what they call "remote healing."
One such study was conducted at the Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, Mo. At first, Dr. William Harris had a hard time persuading a fellow cardiologist, Dr. James O'Keefe, to participate in the prayer experiment on heart patients.
"From a purely scientific standpoint, I thought it was illogical," says O'Keefe. "I don't really think of spirituality normally as playing a role in scientific, rigorous, double-blind placebo-controlled scientific studies. It's two different realms."
A previous study by some other scientists had gotten positive results, and Harris wanted to study remote healing for himself. But he, too, was skeptical.
"We were even doubtful that the phenomena itself was real," he says, "that prayer could do anything."
So Harris wanted to make his experiment impervious to any placebo effects. He did not tell patients they were being prayed for — or even that they were part of any kind of experiment. For an entire year, about 1,000 heart patients admitted to the institute's critical care unit were secretly divided into two groups. Half were prayed for by a group of volunteers and the hospital's chaplain; the other half were not.
All the patients were followed for a year, and then their health was scored according to pre-set rules by a third party who did not know which patients had been prayed for and which had not. The results: The patients who were prayed for had 11 percent fewer heart attacks, strokes and life-threatening complications.
"This study offers an interesting insight into the possibility that maybe God is influencing our lives on Earth," says O'Keefe. "As a scientist, it's very counterintuitive because I don't have a way to explain it."
A Miracle or Simply Chance?
Dr. Elizabeth Targ, a psychiatrist at the Pacific College of Medicine in San Francisco, has also tested out prayer on critically ill AIDS patients.
All 20 patients in the study got pretty much the same medical treatment, but only half of them were prayed for by spiritual healers. Ultimately, 10 of the prayed-for patients lived, while four who had not been prayed for died.
In a larger follow-up study, Targ found that the people who received prayer and remote healing had six times fewer hospitilizations and those hospitalizations were significantly shorter than the people who received no prayer and distant healing.

Eco Media Player Revolution MP3 player
3.5 out of 5
Multitude of features, improved design, phone charging
Winding can become a chore, price point against iPod nano
Wind-up media players offer the promise of living free of mains sockets, at least some of the time. Trevor Baylis' Revolution, the second in his Eco Media Player series, lives up to the dream by giving you 45 minutes of music playback for every minute you crank its handle. It'll even charge five different brands of phone (Nokia included), returning approximately 3 minutes of talktime for every minute of winding.
The main improvements of this model over the first EMP are the higher storage capacity (4GB, up from 2GB), a better design (piano black rather than rubberised finish) and modestly tweaked interface (slightly easier than the original but still laborious compared to an iPod).
Features are impressive. Music playback is accompanied by decent-looking video, an FM radio capable of recording and a line-in socket that means you can record straight from a microphone or vinyl turntable onto the player.
Sound quality is reasonable rather than exceptional, though we recommend upgrading from the supplied earphones - they sound poor compared to the ones supplied with the iPod range. Thanks to a drag'n'drop interface, the Revolution works with both Macs and PCs; theoretically it should work with Linux too, but we've not been able to test that.

Bruce Cahan
About Bruce
Bruce Cahan is CEO and co-founder of Urban Logic, a nonprofit that harnesses finance and technology to change how systems think, act and feel.
Urban Logic began in the 1991 as Bruce's idea to make New York City a livable city, more accountable for its sustainability decisions in real time, by using geographic information. Bruce conceived NYMAP, a composite map of all City geo-tagged information, so as to see where and what infrastructure, environmental, transportation and emergency response needs and capacities might coexist and align for greater public and private good. At first, City Agencies resisted, resting on their information fiefdoms. Through Bruce's research and advocacy with the Mayor's Office of Operations, Office of Management & Budget and City Council, funding was found in the City's capital budget to create a geographic information utility, NYCMAP, that is the cornerstone today for managing NYC operations.
By the mid-1990s, the Federal Geographic Data Committee of the national Office of Management & Budget had noticed Bruce's use of finance, law and organizational principles to deploy interoperability in NYC. They asked him to research how to finance the nation's geographic information infrastructure on a more cooperative basis with government, corporate and nonprofit partners. Urban Logic's reports and Bruce's design for I-Teams allowed OMB to create a 49 state initiative to promote sharing standardized geographic information, much of which is accessible now through web services like Google Earth® and other viewers.
With the World Trade Center Attacks, Bruce became an emergency responder, stationed at the NYC Mayor's Command Center, and serving as liaison for federal agency geographic and other assets. It was there that Bruce saw first hand how much data existed about conditions in a major city like NYC, but that remained cloistered until a crisis erupts. As a municipal bond and corporate finance lawyer and merchant banker, Bruce realized that safe, "artificial" crises could be created through a credit rating that rewarded sustainability, rather than just the ability to repay debt.
Based on his 9/11 experiences, Bruce decided to create a high transparency bank, known now as the GoodBank™(IO) project. Through the bank, regional quality of life measures would reward credit and savings customers, favoring sustainable choices. As municipal finance, the bank would provide new options for livable cities and their environmental, public health and other social sector programs, and their nonprofit and social entrepreneur partners. (For more on GoodBank, see www.goodbank.info/w)
Bruce's design for financing smart cities doesn't stop at City Hall, data or the pavement. As a New York subway rider for 25 years, Bruce saw the potential for small package freight to move through subways instead of streets. Urban Logic's design (SubEx) for undergrounding this freight and creating additional revenues to support mass transit was a finalist in the 2009 Buckminster Fuller Design Challenge, http://challenge.bfi.org/application_summary/461.
Bruce was trained as an international finance lawyer and merchant banker, at Weil Gotshal & Manges (10 years) and Asian Oceanic (2 years). As a social entrepreneur, Bruce acquired skills as a government technologist, emergency responder and someone who enjoys reconnecting meaning to how the world works. Bruce graduated The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania (B.S. Economics 1976) and Temple Law School (J.D. 1979), and passed the bar exams and practiced law in California (2006), New York (1980) and Pennsylvania (1980).
Bruce is the father of twin 20 year olds, Jake and Eli.

An idea worth spreading
Our global banks and financial rating systems have failed. They lack credible commitment to social sector values or continuity. They are the legacy of camouflaging how money moved in a industrial age powered by fossil fuels through web of sovereign and corporate hierarchies.
High transparency banks - where corporate governance and supply chain data are easy to apply to money movements - can change this picture, and prevent global monetary and climate crises.
I am working to create GoodBank™(IO), a new form of ethical bank, merging affinity group wisdom, supply chain accountability and regional economics.
I'm passionate about
Reconnecting the meaning of money, through high transparency banks that find and reward regional environmental and social impacts.

Sustainable resiliency® to mash up regional quality of life performance benchmarks.

My TED story
I am working to create a high-transparency, ethical bank, GoodBank™(IO), to reconnect meaning and money in everyday life. (For more, please look at the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank's Community Development Investment Review http://bit.ly/CahanFRBSF and Fast Company http://bit.ly/GoodBankinFastCompany.)
Somewhere along the way of creating a "high-transparency, impacts-aware" bank in Silicon Valley, I realized that start-up mecca (SV) didn't really seem tuned into the disruptable moment in banking innovation that moving from Industrial Age to Information Age banking could achieve, to make banking fairer, cheaper, safer and more accountable. So I decided to create TEDxNewWallStreet, and we held the first on March 11, 2012 - 200 people heard 16 speakers describe a New Wall Street, built in Silicon Valley in, of and for the Information Age.

Sushi Neko — an innovator in the Oklahoma City area
For families worried about feeding kids, Carrizosa said Sushi Neko has a selection of spaghetti, chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese. But don't count out young palettes, she said. Many kids love the egg sushi and the classic California rolls.
But sometimes it's adults who are picky eaters, which is why the restaurant also offers fully cooked entrees, like New York strip and filet mignon steaks, miso-glazed salmon and crispy duck breast.
"We just want everybody to feel comfortable here," Carrizosa said.
And for those who feel especially comfortable, the restaurant offers the "Addict Card," which lets diners rack up points each time they eat at Sushi Neko, earning gift certificates and invitations to special events.
"It's a nice way to make everybody feel special."

It worked when I first installed it. but it doesn't any more.
I did paste the gallery-galleryview.php file into my responsive child theme in nggallery folder but have not made any edits to it. don't know why it stopped working. the slideshow itself is fine but there is no navigation or thumbnails at the bottom like there was. Help...please. I have it placed in a private page so i can see what it looks like before I publish it to a post.
I will make it public at "http://www.wholesalecarbiz.com/chrysler-200/"

The cruising season in the South Pacific is coming to a close and some cruisers have already made their way to New Zealand, where they'll stay over the hurricane season.
A healthy Reef - OceansWatch
Among the OceansWatch www.oceanswatch.org members heading back for the second time are Beth and Ken Cone on Eagle Wings and David and Gail Funk on Fifth Season. But before making the passage they're taking the OceansWatch Reef Check course in the Kingdom of Tonga. This is the second course run in Tonga for OceansWatch members the first was in April this year and had ten participants.
OceansWatch member, Glenn Edney, owns and runs OceanBlue Adventures on the island of Foa, and is accredited by Reef Check to run their Eco-diver Course for OceansWatch members. He has considerable knowledge and experience of the underwater world, having been diving in Tongan waters since 1992 and written a book on New Zealand's Poor Knights Marine Reserve.
Healthy coral - OceansWatch
Assisted by Jane Pares (OW Media and Membership), they run the course from their dive and whale watching base in the Ha'apai Islands. Rachel Agnew, an OW member who set up www.scubadive.net.nz - a forum for divers - also joined them for the course.
The location is beautiful - Ha'apai is Tonga's best kept secret - and the perfect place to learn about the coral reef - a sheltered, turquoise lagoon, whose horizon is dominated by the dormant volcanic cone of Kao side by side with Tofua, an active volcano that is infamous for hosting the mutinous crew from the British Navy's HMS Bounty!
There are no other dive operators based here, and it is particularly ideal for cruisers, as they can anchor off the beach, safely tucked in behind the reef and come ashore each day for instruction.
The theory which involves plenty of identification of substrate, reef health indicator species - fish and invertebrates - bleaching and predation, damage and disease, is taught at OceanBlue Adventure's base just up from the beach. All the practical work – snorkelling and diving - is undertaken from both the beach and the dive boat, making use of the Home reef and other reefs further off-shore in the lagoon.
The course started on Friday 23rd Oct once both yachts had arrived, and the first day involved ¾ of the time in the classroom and then about 1½ hours snorkelling off the beach, starting with some ID and familiarization. The course has finished after 5 days of enjoyable, but intensive learning with each day involving both theory and practical sessions.
Glenn, Beth, Ken, Gail, David, Rachel in the classroom! - OceansWatch
Several theory tests and a full underwater survey need to be passed in order to gain the qualification. All 5 participants happily passed and had the following to say about their experience:
'What a wonderful opportunity to learn and be useful at the same time.'
'Every day brought new insights and surprising facts!'
'The last 12 years of diving I have focused on fish identification and photography. The Reef Check has really opened my eyes to the variety of coral and invertebrates.'
OceansWatch links sailors and divers together with marine conservation projects, as well as forming partnerships with local island communities to work with them to find practical solutions to some of their most basic of problems.

53% in favor of the recall, 42% opposed. The PPIC poll also has Bustamante and Schwarzenegger in a dead heat (28% and 25%, respectively) with McClintock trailing a bit behind.
Keying off the latest PPIC poll, La Opinion writes under the headline, "The Recall Loses Strength." LINK
California recall, Arnold:
The Los Angeles Times' Joe Mathews discusses what has become a standard Schwarzenegger defense: He made it up: LINK "Confronted with Schwarzenegger's own words on drug use, his early business practices, women and his immigration status, campaign aides — and the candidate himself — have disavowed many of the comments he has made during the last 30 years.
In doing so, they have said that Schwarzenegger either exaggerated or erred in dozens of interviews he gave to promote his career and even in his 1977 autobiography."
And here's that Sean Walsh quote in all its glory:
"This week, Sean Walsh, a campaign spokesman, said that, 'as an entertainer and promoter of his sports and films for decades, he has often stretched the envelope to grab attention and to promote activities he has been engaged in, to shock and grab the reader and the viewer.'"
Note to California reporters: would someone get Sean Walsh to stop saying "stretch the envelope," which is a mixed metaphor which we think goes too far in pushing the envelope.
Hell, everybody lies, the rationale goes. And it doesn't seem to be side-swiping Schwarzenegger's poll numbers.
"'I think this may be a precedent,' said Bill Carrick, a Democratic consultant who is not tied to a particular campaign in the recall. 'The entertainment business is a business where everybody gets to have a new life or new lives all the time. We're seeing the Hollywood model of public relations and the Hollywood model of crisis management applied to politics. I think you may see candidates deal with questions this way in the future.'"
The San Francisco Chronicle's Carla Marinucci was at Schwarzenegger's environmental event yesterday, where the candidate who's running for governor in the state that made the Prius famous drove up in — a GMC Yukon. LINK
Schwarzenegger talked about his proposal for a "hydrogen highway" — with hydrogen fueling stops every 20 miles on the state's highways, and criticized Davis for coming up with only lip service on the environment.
"But asked about legislation Davis has signed, including a bill that made California the first state to ban greenhouse gases, Schwarzenegger responded 'I'm not aware of all those bills he has signed.'"
The Los Angeles Times' Joe Mathews was there too. LINK
"As an actor, Schwarzenegger publicly embraced the Hummer, a gas-guzzling military vehicle, as part of his larger-than-life image, and helped transform it into a popular civilian vehicle. But as a candidate, he argued Sunday, he would be an environmentally friendly governor, opposing off-shore oil drilling, calling for more aggressive enforcement of environmental laws — and even retrofitting his Hummer to run on hydrogen instead of gasoline."
Matthews Notes the two dozen supporters at the event, and includes this priceless exchange:
"Pressed by reporters about why he had not converted his Hummer to cleaner fuel before he became a candidate, Schwarzenegger said: 'Because I'm not perfect.'"
And speaking of the actor that helped bring the Hummer to a driveway near you, Mickey Kaus picks up on Schwarzenegger saying he "created" the Hummer industry.

Listen up, Christina Aguilera fans! Now you can hear her whenever you want! Christina, along with The Eagles and Weezer, has teamed up with Clear Channel to create her own online radio show.
The channels will run 24 hours a day, and feature songs chosen by the artist, interview, and commentary. The new program will launch this July.
Front Line founder/CEO Irving Azoff, who also serves as CEO of Ticketmaster Entertainment says, "We feel that the old model of trying to get radio airplay and some video play is broken. We were looking for a seven-days-a-week, 24-hour artist online venture, and the radio channel seems to make real sense."
The new programming is being referred to as "a.p.e.", which stands for artist personal experience. Christina is excited to be one of the first artists on board.
She says, "I am so excited to be one of the first artists on a.p.e. Fans always write to ask me what I like and listen to, which makes this such a great opportunity for me to share my musical inspirations with them. My channel is going to be a special place for my fans to find out about my new music, upcoming tours and lots of other news and original content. It's going to be fun."
The a.p.e. radio channels will be broadcast on Clear Channel's local radio station Web sites, through the company's iheartradio iPhone and BlackBerry application, and widgets placed on the artists' Web sites. What a great idea!

COLUMBUS, Ohio U.S. Soccer invited fans to greet the team at the airport ahead of tonight's blockbuster World Cup qualifier against Mexico, providing details about its arrival Saturday afternoon in a press release. A couple dozen faithful showed up.
Mexico flew here on a private charter Sunday night, with no notation on airport's arrivals screen, with no press release, with no Twitter or Facebook or Instagram posting. It was all very hush-hush.
Five hundred people, maybe more, figured it out.
Most waited for more than an hour and formed a tunnel from the customs area, through the terminal, around the corner, across the street and alongside the bus. There were mothers in green Mexico jerseys holding infants in green Mexico jerseys. There were black sombreros. People blew air horns. They snapped photos and got autographs.
They chanted, "Mexico, Mexico, Mexico." Then: "Ole, ole, ole." Then: "Si, se puede."
Yes, you can.
It is a sudden infusion of hope in a team that has largely been devoid of any during the final round of World Cup qualifying for the CONCACAF region. Maybe it's because Jose Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre was fired early Saturday morning after a 2-1 loss to Honduras, just the second ever at Estadio Azteca in qualifying. Or maybe it's because, well, things can't possibly get any worse.
Can they?
"We'll try to relax a little bit," said Luis Fernando Tena, de la Torre's interim replacement, after letting Javier "Chicarito" Hernandez play goal in a light-hearted scrimmage at practice Monday. "But we all know what the situation is."
The situation: Mexico, long the king of CONCACAF, is in fourth place in the six-team qualifying group, and only the top three get automatic berths in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and there are only three games left, and one of them is tonight against a U.S. team motivated by the carrot of clinching a World Cup spot with a win.
And it's at Crew Stadium.
U.S. Soccer decided to play Mexico there in qualifying for the 2002 World Cup, more out of necessity and desperation than anything else. Back then, the federation reportedly had a U.S. map at its Chicago headquarters that showed where pockets of immigrant communities lived, and Columbus was one of the few blank spots.
The home of Major League Soccer's Columbus Crew holds just 24,500, allowing the federation to better control who got tickets and preventing the sea of green at past U.S.-Mexico games in California football stadiums.
It also was February, and temperatures at kickoff were in the teens. The U.S. won 2-0.
"Mexico didn't come out for warmups," said Frankie Hejduk, the San Dieguito High alum who played in that game. "They were obviously intimidated. So we said, 'Let's do it again.' "
They returned to Columbus for the Mexico game in 2006 and 2010 World Cup qualifying. Won 2-0 and 2-0.
Even with presales and carefully monitored ticketing policies, about 5,000 Mexico fans managed to scrounge tickets four years ago. This time, U.S. Soccer allocated 9,000 seats to its supporters groups — more than double its previous high for a home game — and even further limited ticket sales to the general public.

The International Hydrographic Organization defines the limits of Bass Strait as follows:[1]
- On the west. The eastern limit of the Great Australian Bight [being a line from Cape Otway, Australia, to King Island and thence to Cape Grim, the northwest extreme of Tasmania].
- On the east. The western limit of the Tasman Sea between Gabo Island and Eddystone Point [being a line from Gabo Island (near Cape Howe, 37°30'S) to the northeast point of East Sister Island (148°E) thence along the 148th meridian to Flinders Island; beyond this Island a line running to the Eastward of the Vansittart Shoals to [Cape] Barren Island, and from Cape Barren (the easternmost point of [Cape] Barren Island) to Eddystone Point (41°S) in Tasmania].
Differing views of location and context[edit]
Some authorities consider Pacific Ocean[2] as in the never-approved 2002 IHO Limits of Oceans and Seas draft.
In the currently in-force IHO 1953 draft, it is instead listed as part of the Indian Ocean [1] T
The Australian Hydrographic Service does not consider it to be part of the Southern Ocean, using the expanded Australian definition, and states that it lies within the Tasman Sea.[3] The strait between the Furneaux Islands and Tasmania is Banks Strait, a subdivision of Bass Strait.
Discovery and exploration[edit]
The strait was named after George Bass, after he and Matthew Flinders passed through it while circumnavigating Van Diemen's Land (now named Tasmania) in the Norfolk in 1798–99. At Flinders' recommendation, the Governor of New South Wales, John Hunter, in 1800 named the stretch of water between the mainland and Van Diemen's Land "Bass's Straits".[4] Later it became known as Bass Strait.
The existence of the strait had been suggested in 1797 by the master of the Sydney Cove when he reached Sydney after deliberately grounding his foundering ship and being stranded on Preservation Island (at the eastern end of the strait). He reported that the strong south westerly swell and the tides and currents suggested that the island was in a channel linking the Pacific and southern Indian Ocean. Governor Hunter thus wrote to Joseph Banks in August 1797 that it seemed certain a strait existed.[5]
Approximately 240 km wide at its narrowest point and generally around 50 metres deep, it contains many islands, with King Island and Flinders Island home to substantial human settlements.
Like the rest of the waters surrounding Tasmania, and particularly because of its limited depth, it is notoriously rough, with many ships lost there during the 19th century. A lighthouse was erected on Deal Island in 1848 to assist ships in the eastern part of the Straits, but there were no guides to the western entrance until the Cape Otway Lighthouse was first lit in 1848, followed by another at Cape Wickham at the northern end of King Island in 1861.
Maritime history[edit]
Strong currents between the Antarctic-driven southeast portions of the Indian Ocean and the Tasman Sea's Pacific Ocean waters provide a strait of powerful, wild storm waves. To illustrate its wild strength, Bass Strait is both twice as wide and twice as rough as the English Channel. The shipwrecks on the Tasmanian and Victorian coastlines number in the hundreds, although stronger metal ships and modern marine navigation have greatly reduced the danger.
Many vessels, some quite large, have disappeared without trace, or left scant evidence of their passing. Despite myths and legends of piracy, wrecking and alleged supernatural phenomena akin to those of the Bermuda Triangle, such disappearances can be invariably ascribed to treacherous combinations of wind and sea conditions, and the numerous semi-submerged rocks and reefs within the Straits.[6]
Despite the strait's difficult waters it provided a safer and less boisterous passage for ships on the route from Europe or India to Sydney in the early 19th century. The strait also saved 1,300 km (700 nmi) distance on the voyage.[5]
There are over 50 islands in Bass Strait. Major islands include:
Western section:
South eastern section:
- Furneaux Group
- Flinders Island (where the surviving Aboriginal Tasmanians were exiled)
- Cape Barren Island
- Clarke Island
- Sister Islands Group
- and several other islands
North eastern section:
- Kent Group
- Deal Island
- and 3 smaller islands
- Hogan Island
- Curtis Island
Natural resources[edit]
A number of oil and gas fields exist in the eastern portion of Bass Strait, in what is known as the Gippsland Basin. Most large fields were discovered in the 1960s, and are located about 50 km to 65 km off the coast of Gippsland in water depths of about 70 m.[7]:484 These oil fields include the Halibut Field discovered in 1967, the Cobia Field discovered in 1972, the Kingfish Field, the Mackerel Field, and the Fortescue Field discovered in 1978.[7]:484 Large gas fields include the Whiptail field, the Barracouta Field, the Snapper Field, and the Marlin Field.[7]:484 Oil and gas are produced from the Cretaceous-Eocene clastic rocks of the Latrobe Group, deposited with the breakup of Australia and Antarctica.[7]:485
The western field, known as the Otway Basin, was discovered in the 1990s offshore near Port Campbell. Its exploitation began in 2005.
The oil and gas is sent via a pipeline to gas processing facilities and oil refineries at Longford, Western Port, Altona and Geelong, as well as by tanker to New South Wales.
The fastest and often the cheapest method of travel across Bass Strait is by air. The major airports in Tasmania are Hobart International Airport and Launceston Airport, where the main airlines are Jetstar Airways and Virgin Australia. Qantas and Tiger Airways Australia also operate services. The smaller airports in the north of the state and on the islands in the strait are served either by Regional Express Airlines, QantasLink or King Island Airlines.

The domestic sea route is serviced by two Spirit of Tasmania passenger vehicle ferries, based in Devonport, Tasmania. The ships travel daily in opposite directions between Devonport and Station Pier in Melbourne, as overnight trips with additional daytime trips during the peak summer season.[8]
The Basslink HVDC electrical cable has been in service since 2006. It has the capacity to carry up to 630 megawatts of electrical power across the strait.
Alinta owns a submarine gas pipeline, delivering natural gas to large industrial customers near George Town, as well as the Powerco gas network in Tasmania.
The first submarine communications cable across Bass Strait was laid in 1859. Starting at Cape Otway, Victoria, it went via King Island and Three Hummock Island, made contact with the Tasmanian mainland at Stanley Head, and then continued on to George Town. However it started failing within a few weeks of completion, and by 1861 it failed completely.
Tasmania is currently connected to the mainland via two Telstra-operated fibre optic cables; since 2006, dark fibre capacity has also been available on the Basslink HVDC cable.

Popular culture[edit]

The issue of planes, ships and people having been lost in the strait over time has spawned a number of theories. Perhaps the most thorough list of losses and disappearances has been the oft re-printed book of Jack Loney[10] though it is possible that most losses can be adequately explained by extreme weather events.[11]
On the popular Australian soap Neighbours, one of its most dramatic storylines unfolded when a 1940s themed joy flight to Tasmania was sabotaged by a bomb. The plane crashed into Bass Strait in the middle of the night and many character's lives were put at risk, with some drowning.
In 1978, one of the most famous UFO incidents in Australian history occurred over Bass Strait. Frederick Valentich was flying a small aeroplane over the strait when he reported to personnel at a local airport that a strange object was buzzing his plane. He then claimed that the object had moved directly in front of his plane; the airport personnel then heard a metallic "scraping" sound, followed by silence. Valentich and his plane subsequently vanished and neither Valentich nor his plane were ever seen again.
Non-motorised crossings[edit]
Bass Strait is regularly crossed by sailing vessels, including during the annual Melbourne to Hobart Yacht Race. The Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race passes generally east of the strait but is affected by its weather conditions. Australian Olympic bronze medalist Michael Blackburn set a record in October 2005 when he crossed the strait in just over 13 hours in a Laser sailing dinghy.[12]
Lone rower David Bowen (Mt Martha) crossed Bass Strait in 1971 rowing a 20' dory, leaving from Devonport he landed on Wilson's Promontory.[13] Tammy van Wisse swam part of the strait in 1996, from King Island to Apollo Bay in Victoria, a distance of about 100 km in 17 hours and 46 minutes.[14][15] Andrew McAuley was the first person to successfully cross Bass Strait non-stop in a sea kayak in 2003. He made two more successful crossings of Bass Strait before he disappeared in the Tasman Sea in February 2007; his body was never recovered.[16] Other experienced sea kayakers have since made the crossing, usually by island hopping on the eastern side of the strait.[17][18][19] The first windsurfer crossing was in 1982 by Mark Paul and Les Tokolyi.[20] Kitesurfers have also completed the crossing.[21][22] The first crossing by paddleboard was made by Jack Bark, Brad Gaul and Zeb Walsh, leaving Wilsons Promontory in Victoria on 25 February 2014 and arriving at Cape Portland in Tasmania's north-east on 4 March 2014.[23]

Findings for PPC in Tempe
Tempe Ranks Amongst Most Expensive Markets for Keywords in Rocky Mountain States
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Tempe was the 14th most expensive city in Rocky Mountain States in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of April 2015. Tempe also ranks amongst the most expensive cities in Arizona, ranking 3rd. In the study, Ann Arbour ranked as the most expensive city in Rocky Mountain States for keywords, while Lincoln ranked as the least expensive city.
Month over Month Google Adwords Prices for Tempe Rise in April 2015
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting Tempe keywords increased by 13% in April 2015.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 49% Higher in Tempe than Mesa
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Tempe are 49% higher than in Mesa. The average price of a click in Tempe is $17.40.
This price differential is somewhat surprising however, as Mesa has a larger population than Tempe.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another city with a similar population, Ontario, and found the average price of a click in Tempe was 46% higher than in Ontario.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.
