The sleeping disorder that puts one in 20 drivers at risk: More than 1.4m unknowingly suffer from condition that may be responsible for up to one in five accidents
- Many drivers suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome, said RAC
- Obese drivers more susceptible as extra weight puts pressure on throat
- Motoring group has launched a campaign to raise wider awareness
One in 20 drivers unknowingly suffers from a sleeping disorder that puts them at risk of nodding off at the wheel, the RAC warns today.
It says 1.4million motorists are a risk to themselves and other road users due to Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome.
Research suggests the problem may be responsible for up to one in five accidents and is increasing with growing cases of obesity and sedentary lifestyles.
Nodding off? One in 20 drivers suffers Obstructive Sleep Apnoea which contributes to accidents (file photo)
It said that in tests of simulated driving, 'sleep apnoea patients had a driving performance at least as bad as drivers over the alcohol limit'.
The RAC said: 'It is a serious condition where the muscles in the throat relax too much during sleep, obstructing the airway, which causes the sufferer to temporarily stop breathing and consequently repeatedly wake up to start breathing again.
Severe: The condition affects more than a million Britons (file photo)
'The sufferer is usually unaware this is going on and it can occur hundreds of times in a night, leading to daytime sleepiness and other serious health problems.
'Those drivers who have the condition, but who are not being treated, are six times more likely to have an accident than others.'
The RAC, which has joined forces with the Sleep Apnoea Partnership Group to raise awareness, said: 'While 400,000 people have been diagnosed and are being treated for the condition, it is believed that up to 1.4million drivers have not been diagnosed.'
Effective treatment is available which can address the symptoms very quickly and enable patients to again drive safely, it adds.
Professor John Stradling, a leading sleep clinician, said: 'The usual treatment is to use a simple continuous positive airway pressure device while asleep.
'Typically, sufferers are often overweight and that extra weight around the neck puts pressure on the throat.
'A sedentary kind of lifestyle only makes the condition worse, and people who spend a long time behind the wheel seem to be especially at risk.'
If the sleepiness is sufficient to impair driving, the sufferer must notify the DVLA and will be advised to stop driving.
'But the treatment available today is very effective and need not necessitate a long period of time off the road,' he added.
Danger: Motorway driving makes people more prone to sleep because it is repetitive and hypnotic
Cases have increased as levels of obesity have risen, with nocturnal symptoms including loud snoring, pauses in breathing, occasional choking sensations and restless sleep.
In the case of 'OSAS' further symptoms are present, most notably daytime sleepiness and reduced ability to concentrate.
If this sleepiness is sufficient to impair driving, the sufferer must notify the DVLA and will be advised to stop driving.
Prof Stradling added: 'We fully understand that there is a very reasonable concern among drivers about losing their driving licence, but the treatment available today is very effective and need not necessitate a long period of time off the road.'
RAC technical director David Bizley said driving on a motorway can exacerbate the problem as it can be extremely monotonous and hypnotic, particularly if people are already feeling sleepy.
'The consequences of falling asleep at the wheel can be catastrophic, both for the driver themselves and anybody in their vicinity,' he said.
'But it's also important to emphasise there is a solution as very effective treatment is available. If you suspect that you may have the condition, speak to your GP and get it checked out.'

Redskins launch Twitter campaign in effort to keep name
The Washington Redskins logo is displayed at midfield before the start of a preseason NFL football game in Landover, Md., Aug. 28, 2009. (AP / Nick Wass)
The Associated Press
Published Thursday, May 29, 2014 8:10PM EDT
WASHINGTON -- The Washington Redskins have launched a Twitter onslaught at Sen. Harry Reid in their campaign to keep the team's name.
The Redskins instructed fans Thursday to tweet the Nevada Democrat to show their "RedskinsPride" and "tell him what the team means to you."
Fans did just that -- but not always in a manner the Redskins would have preferred. Many told Reid they support his efforts to change the name. Soon, both "RedskinsPride" and "changethename" were trending in the D.C. area.
Reid said last month that Redskins owner Dan Snyder should "do what is morally right" and change the name. Last week, half of the Senate wrote letters to the NFL urging a change, calling the name is a racist slur.
Snyder has vowed never to change the name.

After commenting on the other view of Natural Dam, I came to this one which is quite impressive! I would like to know more about the time of day it was taken, the condition of the lighting, the season (month, week) and if you did any enhancement to what the camera captured. O yes, what make and model of camera (if you so wish to reveal).
Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.
Falling Water Falls is one of the easiest waterfalls to reach. In fact, it�s so close to the roadway, you can even enjoy the sight and sound of the falling water while still sitting in your car. To reach Falling Water Falls from the intersection of Highways 7 and 16 at Pelsor, drive east on Highway 16 to Ben Hur, then drive south about 1 and a half miles until you reach Forest Service Road 1205. From there, drive east on 1205 for about 3 or 4 miles. You�ll see Falling Water Creek to your right and will soon see the waterfalls.

Just went dead in the 13th month (warranty just expired). Company wants $275 before they look at it. Moral of the Story: Buy a camera from a camera co., not a watch company. When it worked, I liked it just fine. I feel really ripped off. The company is MIA now that problems have arisen.

Get involved with the Cappies
This year marks the 11th year that the Orange County Register will be publishing reviews of high school plays and musicals as written by Cappies critics. The Cappies is a national program wherein teams of student critics attend productions at each other's schools, write reviews and then the top two reviews for each show are sent to the Register for publication. At the end of the school year, the Cappies holds a Tony's-style gala at which trophies are awarded in 43 categories as voted on by those same critics.
To participate in the Cappies, a school must have a minimum of three critics, at maximum nine, who are able to attend at least six shows during the school year at locations throughout county. If a school does not want to have its plays reviewed by the Cappies critics, it can still participate by fielding a critics team. The best writers graduate from the program with multiple bylines published by the paper.
The Orange County chapter is the only Cappies program in California. There are Cappies programs in 12 other regions around the U.S. and Canada, including Baltimore, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Ottawa, and Washington D.C. where the program originated.
School applications for the upcoming season are due Friday, Sept. 27. Training for Cappies critics and mentors will be on Saturday, Oct. 5 at Fullerton Union High School.
Inquiries about the program can be sent to program chair Kathy Harris at email@example.com or program director Michael Despars at email@example.com.

This invention relates to an improved diverter valve, and more particularly to a diverter valve assembly which is substantially anticlogging, has an improved antisiphon valve means and automatically diverts fluid flow without chatter from an inlet source to either of a pair of outlets in response to the opening of one of the outlets.
Diverter valves of various types and construction are employed in either tub or shower valve assemblies or in kitchen mixing faucets such as is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,376,884. While diverter valves of this type function satisfactorily, however, they tend to stick or clog either in the spray mode or spout mode position or leak through the spout when spraying, or cause chattering when changing from the spout mode to the spray mode position, and flow volume may vary when the mixing valve is set at constant operating conditions for either hot or cold water flow. Also many of the plumbing codes require that a diverter valve also include an antisiphon valve. This is to prevent backflow of used water through the fitting and into the potable system in the event of a reduced pressure occuring within the system.
This invention generally contemplates providing a diverter valve assembly which is arranged and constructed to be coupled in fluid communication between the fluid inlet and a pair of outlet openings for normally conducting fluid through one outlet until the other outlet is opened. When the other outlet is opened the diverter valve automatically shifts the flow of fluid from the one outlet to the other outlet. The diverter valve assembly comprises a housing having first and second spaced chambers. Interconnecting the spaced chambers is a conduit having at least one port for conducting fluid from the first chamber to the one outlet. A tubular member is positioned in the conduit and is adapted to reciprocate therein when the other outlet is opened and closed. Coupled to the tubular member and positioned within the first chamber is means to provide a fluid tight seal when the other outlet is opened, and also to prevent flow of fluid through the one outlet. Piston means is disposed in the second chamber and is coupled to the other end of the tubular member so that when the other outlet is opened and closed, the tubular member is automatically reciprocated by the change in fluid pressure to divert the fluid flow from the one outlet to the other outlet.
Valve means may be associated with the seal means and the tubular member to prevent backflow of fluid to the inlet opening when reduced pressure occurs within the first chamber.
It is an object of the invention to provide a diverter valve in which sufficient clearance is maintained by the moving parts whereby clogging and chattering is substantially eliminated.
It is another object of the invention to provide a diverter valve assembly in which substantially all of the parts are made of moldable plastic and elastomeric materials.
It is another object of the invention to provide a diverter valve assembly having an improved antisiphon valve means and auxiliary antisiphon valve means.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a diverter valve assembly adapted for use in mixing faucets which has relatively few parts, simle to manufacture, easy to assemble and is of inexpensive construction.
A better understanding of the invention will be had from a detailed description of the drawings illustrating the general principles of the invention. It should be understood that the drawings are merely illustrative of the invention although many variations and changes in design and materials may be had without departing from the invention.
FIG. 1 illustrates a mixing faucet assembly partly in vertical section showing the diverter valve assembly mounted in the body of the mixing valve;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an elevational sectional view taken aling line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIGS. 3a, 3b and 3c illustrate the operation of the diverter valve assembly when in the spay mode, spout mode or backflow prevention mode respectively;
FIG. 4 is an isometric view partly in section illustrating the parts and assembly of the diverter valve.
The attached drawings generally represent an arrangement for connecting a diverter valve to a flow control valve normally controlling the flow of water to a faucet arrangement so that the diverter valve may either transfer the flow of water through the spout of the faucet or through the spray head assembly.
The mixing valve 10 includes a cartridge 12 which controls the flow of water from an input conduit 14 through a spout 16 to be discharged through the spout end 18, and upon manipulation of a spray head assembly 20, the incoming water will be caused to flow through a diverter conduit 22 to a diverter spout end 24.
The cartridge 12 encloses a disc valve mechanism of the type shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,433,264. The cartridge 12 is removably mounted upon a manifold 26 in which diverter valve assembly 30 is mounted in fluid communication between inlet conduit 14 and a pair of outlets, spout end 18 and spray head assembly 20.
As shown most clearly in FIG. 4 diverter valve assembly 30 includes a housing 32 having spaced first and second chambers 34 and 36 respectively. Conduit 38 interconnects chambers 34 and 36 and is provided with ports 39 through which water is conducted to spout end 18 when diverter valve assembly is in the spout mode position as shown in FIG. 3b. Housing 32 is preferably molded from a suitable plastic material such as an acetal resin sold under the tradenames of Celcon or Delrin, or a polysulfone resin or a resin made from a mixture of polystyrene and polyphenylene oxide sold under the tradename Noryl.
First chamber 34 is generally cup-shaped, open at both ends and has a tapered surface or wall 40 which terminates with one end of conduit 38. The open outer end of cup 34 has an outer rim 42 which forms a step or ledge 44 and retains O-ring 45 to provide a water tight seal with manifold 26 as shown in FIG. 1. Inner steps or ledges 46 and 47 provide a seat for top plate 50 to nest within rim 42 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. Plate 50 is perforated and has a plurality of openings 52 which serve as entrant openings for the flow of water into the diverter valve assembly 30. An upstanding rim or collar surrounds opening 54 and serves as a gripping area to facilitate removal of the diverter from the manifold 26. Retaining ring 56 is formed centrally on the underside of plate 50 for removably mounting check valve washer 58. Check valve 58 is made of a thin elastomeric such as rubber, which may be either natural or synthetic and functions as an auxiliary antisiphon check valve. Plate 50 is formed having complimentary steps 51 and 53 which nest in steps 46 and 47 of chamber 34. Steps 51, 53, 46 and 47 are so formed that they melt and fuse together to form a leak-proof seal when a source of ultrasonic energy is applied to part 50 as by ultrasonic welding.
Tubular member 60 is mounted for reciprocation within conduit 38 and provides a conduit for fluid communication with diverter conduit 22 and chamber 34. As shown in FIG. 3 the upper section 62 of tubular member 60 has a tapered wall 61 which nests against tapered wall 40 of first chamber 34 so that it centers member 60 within the first chamber 34. The upper surface of tubular member 60 has an inwardly extending rim 64 so as to form a lip. The lower section of tubular member 60 is of reduced diameter and has an outwardly extending retaining rim 66 thereby forming groove or slot 67 for retaining piston washer and resilient piston 72 as shown most clearly in FIG. 3.
Second chamber 36 is also generally cup-shaped and is open at both ends and has a wall 37 extending radially inwardly which terminates with the other end of conduit 38. Cup or chamber 36 serves as the cylinder having a piston wall 41 so that when piston 72 is mounted on tubular member 60, as shown in FIG. 3, the respective wall surfaces of the cylinder and piston form a liquid tight seal. Chamber 36 has a circumferential groove 33 formed in its outer surface for mounting an O-ring which provides a water tight seal as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. Bleed hole 35 is formed in wall 37 to facilitate removal of any liquid which may collect between washer 70 and wall 37. One or more bleed holes may be necessary to expell the liquid quickly so as to eliminate any chattering that may occur.
Elastomeric member 80 is arranged and constructed to be coupled to tubular member 60, is of unitary design and preferably made of rubber, either natural or synthetic. Retaining lip or rim 64 of tubular member 60 nests within complementary groove 82 of elastomeric member 80 to removably mount the elastomeric member on tubular member 60.
Elastomeric member 80 comprises an upper section or seal means 90 which overlies end surface 63 of tubular member 60 and extends radially outwardly to form a rim so that the rim contacts tapered wall surface 40 of cup 34 and is capable of forming a fluid tight seal when diverter valve assembly 30 is in the spray mode position, as shown in FIG. 3a.
Lower section 84 of elastomeric member 80 functions as a one way valve and has a shape commonly referred to as a duck bill. Lower section of duck bill valve 84 includes tapered walls 85 and 86 in which the lower outer ends 87 of walls 85 and 86 touch to form slit opening 88. When diverter valve assembly 30 is in the spray mode position and in which seal means 90 makes fluid tight seal with wall 40 of cup 34, fluid is conducted through duck bill valve 84 thereby opening slit 88 to permit fluid to flow through spray end 24. When flow ceases the water pressure is no longer exerted against elastomeric walls 85 and 86 thereby automatically closing slit opening 88. In the event that a reduced pressure should occur within cup 34 water would be prevented from flowing back through one way valve 84 thereby providing an effective antisiphon valve means. Also in the event that duck bill valve 84 should fail by remaining open, auxiliary antisiphon check valve 58 will prevent water from passing into inlet conduit 14 thereby preventing any contamination of the potable water supply.
A further function of valve 84 is to block the flow of liquid from portions of chamber 36 below piston 72 when the pressure in chamber 34 is reduced, so that the reduced pressure in chamber 34 will cause member 60 to rise, lifting seal means 90 from its seat on tapered wall 40, thus allowing air in spout 18. The air will then nullify the vacuum existing in chamber 34. Without valve 84, the reduced pressure in chamber 34 would be communicated to the lower part of chamber 36 and since the area of piston 72 is greater than seal 90, the pressure forces will keep the tubular member 60 in the down position thereby sealing off the spout. Thus a requirement contained in certain plumbing codes that the vacuum be "broken" by admitting air through the spout is achieved by the present design.
Retainer 92 is a tube made either of brass or thermoplastic material and has a flange 94 extending radially outwardly between its ends. Lower section 96 has a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the opening 91 of elastomeric member 80 so that when inserted therein member 80 is firmly held in a compressive fit in tubular member 60 and will not dislodge when water pressures even when elevated, are subjected against valve 84 of member 80. The upper section 98 of the retainer is of a length such that it never touches the surface of retaining ring 56 of plate 50 when diverter valve assembly 30 is in the spout mode position shown most clearly in FIG. 3b. Retainer 92 serves a further function of increasing the spray flow at high pressures. When the supply pressure is high, then high pressure results in chamber 34. When spray valve 20 is opened the pressure is reduced in chamber 36, but the differential pressure between chamber 34 and 36 is concentrated mainly in chamber 36 as the flow enters opening 91 of elastomeric member 80. The pressure drop acts to squeeze opening 91 closed when retainer 92 is absent which results in poor spray at these pressures. Retainer 92 is rigid enough to withstand the pressure while maintaining sufficient flow of fluid through spray 20.
To assemble diverter valve 30, reference is had to FIG. 4. Elastomeric member 80 and retainer 92 are mounted on tubular member 60. Tubular member 60 is positioned in conduit 38 by simply dropping the unit into place. Piston washer 70 is positioned over the lower section of tubular member 60 and piston 72 is pressed into slot 67 with tapered wall 73 of piston 72 making a sliding, sealing, friction fit, against wall 41 of cup or second chamber 36. Auxiliary check valve 58 is mounted onto retaining ring 56 and will lie in a plane generally parallel to the bottom surface of plate 50. Plate 50 is dropped into outer rim 42 so that steps 51 and 53 of plate 50 nest into corresponding steps or ledges 46 and 47 of cup or chamber 34. Plate 50 is held in position preferably by suitable means such as ultrasonic welding, solvent glueing, or any other suitable adhesive means may be employed. When a plastic material is used for making housing 32, tubular member 60 and retainer 92 the plastic material should be substantially dimensionally stable to hot and cold water generally encountered for domestic use, have non-corrosive and high wear properties. O-rings 45 and 45' are spaced from each other and are mounted on the outside of the housing 32. O-ring 45 is held in place by lip or ledge 44 while O-ring 45' rests within circumferential groove 33. Diverter valve assembly 30 is ready for mounting in manifold 26 and is simply pressed into well 27 as shown in FIG. 1. The cartridge unit 12 is mounted on manifold 26 preferably by threading two bolts, not shown. The handle of the faucet is mounted in position and by manipulating the handle water will enter the cartridge through conduit 14 which directs the water into diverter valve 30 through openings 52 of plate 50. As shown in FIG. 3b diverter valve 30 is in the spout mode position so that water flows through spout end 18. Tubular member 60 is held in raised or spray mode position by the pressure exerted against piston 72 by the column of water in the spray conduit 22.
When spray head 20 which includes a hand operated valve, not shown, is manipulated, the pressure exerted against piston 72 is relieved so that the incoming water will force tubular member down to the spray mode position shown in FIG. 3a. In this position seal means or rim 90 is forced against tapered wall or seat 40 to form a liquid tight seal. Water is then forced through the elastomeric member 80 which forces the duck bill valve 84 open so that water passes through slit 88, through tubular member 60 and finally through the spray head assembly 20. When the valve of spray head 20 is closed the incoming water forces tubular member 60 to reciprocate in the other direction automatically due to the pressure differential on piston 72 created by the closing of the valve in spray head 20 thereby diverting water flow through the spout end 18. In this connection it should be noted that in FIGS. 3a and 3b the water paths are shown flowing in the direction of the arrows for either the the spout mode or spray mode position of the diverter valve 30. Since the path openings through which the water passes are relatively large, chances for fine or even coarse particles contained in potable water such as sand that would clog diverter valve 30 is substantially eliminated, thereby assuring an anticlogging valve which does not chatter. Blead hole 35 assures smooth movement of tubular member 60 by providing a path for any accumulated water that may pass into cup 36 above piston 72. When the tubular member 60 reciprocates from the spray mode to the spout mode position, water retained in cup 36 will be expelled through bleed holes 35. Water hammer generally associated with quick closing valves is obviated by maintaining a uniform flow rate through bleed hole 35 from cup 36. The tapered wall of upper section 62 of tubular member 60 meters water flow down uniformly until elastomeric member 80 seals against tapered wall 40. It should be noted that the extension or upper section 98 of flow retainer 92 assures that elastomeric member 80 remains mounted in position within tubular member 60 since retainer 92 cannot be removed from elastomeric member 80 without first removing top plate 50.
In some homes a portable dishwasher may have its inlet connected to spout end 18 of mixing valve 10 for its water supply. These dishwashers have an electrical solenoid valve controlling the incoming water. When this valve closes, water hammer pressures as high as 300 p.s.i. may travel back through fitting 10. The result is that after repeated hammers, the hose 22 may be subjected to pressures of up to 300 p.s.i. because duck bill 84 only lets water flow into hose 22 but not back through hose 22. These pressures are deleterious to the hose and will push element 80 out of member 60. However, the extension 98 of retainer 92 prevents element 80 from separating from tubular member 60 by pressing against knob 56 of plate 50. Also, the diameter of the recess 68 of tubular member 60 and the lip 64 are dimensioned such that when the pressure in hose 22 exceeds 120 to 150 p.s.i. it is relieved by the elastomeric material squeezing down to let the water out between lip 64 and recess 82 of elastomeric member 80.
In FIG. 3c diverter valve assembly 30 is shown in the up or spout mode position. In the event that a reduced pressure should occur within cup or chamber 34 the column of water being sucked back through diverter valve 30 from conduit 22 would be blocked by duck bill valve 84. In the unlikely event that duck bill valve 84 should fail and remain open, auxiliary antisiphon valve 58 would be pressed against the under surface of plate 50 and thereby effectively stop the reverse water flow and break the siphon. If antisiphon valve 58 fails the air entering the spout will nullify or break the vacuum in chamber 34 as described above. It has been shown that no backflow occurs even if valve 84 is held open by a 1/32 inch diameter wire and valve 58 distorted by wires passing through holes 52.

Vatican unveils bone fragments said to be Peter's
VATICAN CITY — The Vatican publicly unveiled a handful of bone fragments purportedly belonging to St. Peter on Sunday, reviving the scientific debate and tantalizing mystery over whether the relics found in a shoe box truly belong to the first pope.
The nine pieces of bone sat nestled like rings in a jewel box inside a bronze display case on the side of the altar during a Mass commemorating the end of the Vatican's yearlong celebration of the Christian faith. It was the first time they had ever been exhibited in public.
Pope Francis prayed before the fragments at the start of Sunday's service and then clutched the case in his arms for several minutes after his homily.
No pope has ever definitively declared the fragments to belong to the Apostle Peter, but Pope Paul VI in 1968 said fragments found in the necropolis under St. Peter's Basilica were "identified in a way that we can consider convincing."
Some archaeologists dispute the finding.
But last week, a top Vatican official, Archbishop Rino Fisichella, said it almost doesn't matter if archaeologists one day definitively determine that the bones aren't Peter's, saying Christians have prayed at Peter's tomb for two millennia and will continue to, regardless.
"It's not as if pilgrims who go to the altar (of Peter's tomb) think that in that moment in which they profess their faith that below them are the relics of Peter, or of another or another still," he told reporters. "They go there to profess the faith."
The relics were discovered during excavations begun under St. Peter's Basilica in the years following the 1939 death of Pope Pius XI, who had asked to be buried in the grottoes where dozens of popes are buried, according to the 2012 book by veteran Vatican correspondent Bruno Bartoloni, "The Ears of the Vatican."
During the excavations, archaeologists discovered a funerary monument with a casket built in honor of Peter and an engraving in Greek that read "Petros eni," or "Peter is here."
The scholar of Greek antiquities, Margherita Guarducci, who had deciphered the engraving continued to investigate and learned that one of the basilica workers had been given the remains found inside the casket and stored them in a shoe box kept in a cupboard. She reported her findings to Paul VI who later proclaimed that there was a "convincing" argument that the bones belonged to Peter.
Top Vatican Jesuits and other archaeologists strongly denied the claim, but had little recourse.
"No Pope had ever permitted an exhaustive study, partly because a 1,000-year-old curse attested by secret and apocalyptic documents, threatened anyone who disturbed the peace of Peter's tomb with the worst possible misfortune," Bartoloni wrote.
The Vatican newspaper, l'Osservatore Romano, published excerpts of the book last year, giving his account a degree of official sanction.
In 1971, Paul VI was given an urn containing the relics, which were kept inside the private papal chapel inside the Apostolic Palace and exhibited for the pope's private veneration each June 29, for the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul. Sunday marked the first time they were shown in public.

Zuiderdam Cruise Review by ronatchatham: After a slow start, a very pleasant cruise.
Overall Member Rating
After a slow start, a very pleasant cruise.
Destination: Panama Canal & Central America
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Our December cruise on the Zuiderdam was our third, all on Holland America ships. The first two were on the Eurodam. My wife is in her mid 60s and I am 71. We are generally fit, like to visit new destinations and we enjoy meeting other travelers. On this cruise, we traveled with two cousins.
Unfortunately, the cruise got off to a bit of a rough start as the Zuiderdam was late getting back into Port Everglades from its previous cruise. When we arrived at the ship at about 11 am, we found passengers from the previous cruise still disembarking. Apparently, the ship had had a mechanical problem the night before. This, of course, caused long lines and delayed embarkation. Surprisingly, however, luggage was in our rooms by around 4pm and the ship was only delayed in sailing by an hour or two.
We found the Zuiderdam to be showing its age a bit - at least compared to the newer Eurodam. Rubberized flooring around the central pool had a few stains that apparently can not be More removed and there was the occasional spot of rust. Wall coverings are getting a bit tired and in our cousin's room the refrigerator failed early in the cruise. The deck crew, however, was constantly on the job of polishing and repainting.
We found the ship's crew as hard working and pleasant as always on Holland America. Our room stewards were delightful. However, drink service at both the main dining room and at the Crow's Nest during happy hours was a bit slow and appeared understaffed. Ships' officers were very involved with the cruise. I saw the captain almost as much as I saw my wife - well, not quite.
The recent requirement that ship's staff must serve coffee, soft drinks and desserts (rather than self service) at the Lido Restaurant for the first two or three days of the cruise for health reasons took a bit of getting used to but when it reverted, lines were shorter.
The only disappointment of the cruise occurred at the Panama Canal portion. Due to exceedingly heavy rains recently in Panama, day tours had to be cancelled due to flooded roads and that night the brief port call at Colon was cancelled because of heave winds off the Caribbean. We did get through the locks to Gatun Lake although the Canal had been closed completely the day before.
Meals, as usual, were excellent. We dined most nights in the Vista dining room and enjoy getting dressed up for the formal nights - something we don't do at home. I even went so far as to buy a tux for this cruise (JC Penny has a great price on worsted wool tuxes). I figure I'll be able to save on rental costs for future cruises. Although there were four of us in our party, we usually asked for larger tables as that gave us the opportunity to meet other cruisers - most of whom we found informative and delightful to talk with.

Cabin review: VF Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom
We found our VF balcony cabin forward on the Upper Promenade level quite satisfactory although a bit cool at times. We learned that VF balconies on Holland America have solid steel plating below the hand rail so you can't see shore from inside the room and we may upgrade on our next cruise to do so. We had plenty of storage space even though we both brought formal clothes as well as many changes of everything else. The king size bed was very nice and the room was well decorated.Read All Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom (VF) Reviews >>

A five-car collision was the scene of a drunken-driving arrest last week.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
A 45-year-old Milwaukee man was said by witnesses to be driving 70 to 80 mph in the 1700 block of North Mayfair Road when he slammed into a car trying to change lanes at 2:19 p.m. Dec. 10.
That car caromed off his and into another car, causing a chain reaction.
A 50-year-old man was sent to the hospital as a result of the collision.
The Milwaukee man was found behind the wheel with glassy eyes, slurred speech and smelling of alcohol.
Police also found 4.5 grams of marijuana on the man. He admitted to drinking one and a half 24-ounce cans of beer before taking a muscle relaxer.

China becomes world's largest FDI recipient
Geneva: China has exceeded the US to become the world's largest recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the first six months of 2012, a report released by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) showed.
It's mainly due to a 39.2 percent fall in FDI flows to the US, compared to a three percent decline in China, said Zhan Xiaoning, director of UNCTAD Division on Investment and Enterprise, reported Xinhua.
However, early indications show that FDI flows to the US might be stronger in the second half of 2012, he said.
Zhan said China had claimed the world's top destination for FDI in 2003.
In the first six months of the year, China attracted USD59.1 billion in FDI while the US attracted USD57.4 billion, according to the latest Global Investment Trends Monitor.
As a result of the performance of the US and a decline of USD23 billion in flows to BRIC countries, the global FDI stood at USD668 billion, dropping by eight percent over the same period of 2011, said the report.
UNCTAD projects the FDI flows will, at best, level-off in 2012 at slightly below USD1.6 trillion, according to the report.
Zhan said the slow and bumpy recovery of the global economy, weak global demand and elevated risks related to regulatory policy changes continue to reinforce the wait-and-see attitude of many transnational companies toward investment abroad.

The new CB512 from EEG Enterprises is an innovative HD caption legalizer and relocating bridge in one convenient unit.
The CB512 solves difficult-to-debug captioning problems by ensuring a fully compliant output data stream, using a wide input tolerance and a tight output specification for maximum interoperability. Line number, packetization style, and more are standardized to meet the uncompromising standards of HD broadcasters for captioning that's ready to air under any conditions.
It adds HD functionality to the company's existing system's relocating bridge capabilities. The CB512 seamlessly bridges caption data from one video source to another, and can relocate caption displays on the screen in response to GPI triggers. It also provides broadcasters with a versatile new solution for relocation of captions, a legal requirement in cases where emergency crawls on the screen could be obscured by closed captioning.
The CB512 is also a caption legalizer that provides broadcasters with a new solution for ensuring compliance of caption data with all DTV captioning standards. It can fix common errors introduced in closed captioning flows by SD-to-HD upconverters or incomplete 608-to-708 translation. The legalizer regenerates all input caption data into a standardized, fully-compliant data stream, compatible with all MPEG encoder specs — a key benefit for broadcasters who ingest captioned material from a wide variety of original sources.

A two million dollar upgrade of the Coromandel town waste water treatment plant is expected to protect the district's aquaculture industry by improving the quality of water discharged into the Hauraki Gulf.
Thames-Coromandel District Council has approved the upgrade using Floating Media Technology (FTM), an environmentally friendly process that uses and improves naturally occurring processes to remove contaminants from waste water.
TCDC mayor Glenn Leach said FTM involved suspending certain types of plants in sections on the treatment ponds.
The blocks of plants create an 'eco-system' for bacterial cultures (over 3000 microbes), snails and other invertebrates which help remove more of the contaminants in the wastewater than just ponds alone.
"This is a very 'Coromandel-solution' because of its sustainable qualities and one which will not only further protect our environment, but will also protect our vital aquaculture exports" said Mr Leach.
"The United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) visited the site in 2011 and discussed with us and the regional council the plant upgrades and the discharge parameters they required if we are to export mussels to the U.S."
Mr Leach said the project highlighted the economic importance of the area.
''And the responsibility of Council to treat the wastewater to a high standard, which ultimately ends up in the Hauraki Gulf''.
Mr Leach said the upgrade would save TCDC over one million dollars over three years because of the new system's efficiency and lower operating costs.
Work will begin on the upgrade in early 2013.
