Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd. has set aside $210.3 million to fund what it calls "product liability responsibility" associated with claims logged against its Rhino side-by-side vehicles (SSVs). The OEM also has allocated $31.9 million to fund the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's call to modify the SSVs.
More than 200 lawsuits attributed to the Rhino are known to have been filed in various state and federal courts throughout the United States. While discovery is still taking place regarding MDL litigation that consolidates individual lawsuits filed in federal court, the company has already settled several individual cases.
In March, Yamaha Motor Corp. U.S.A. announced it would be offering a free repair program to address what the CPSC called "safety issues" regarding the Rhino. Owners were asked to stop using about 120,000 units of the Rhino 450 and 650 sold since Fall 2003 and about 25,000 units of the Rhino 700 model until repairs could be made to add a spacer onto the rear wheels, remove the rear anti-sway bar to reduce the risk of a rollover, and continue installation of half doors and additional passenger handholds where these features were not previously installed.

I just found this recipe over on "Recipes From Farm Wives November 15, 2009. I'd like to try it, but this is the first time I have ever heard of "white wine Worcestershire sauce". Can it be used in other recipes just like regular (brown) Worcestershire sauce? (If I'm buying a bottle of it for this recipe, I'd like to know that I could use it for other things, too.) Thanks for any advice you can give me!
THREE-CHEESE SPREAD WITH ALMONDS1 (8 oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened1 (8 oz) carton dairy sour cream 1 tsp. paprika1 c. shredded process Swiss cheese (4 oz)2 oz. crumbled blue cheese (1/2 c)1 Tbsp. white wine Worcestershire sauce1/2 c. chopped almonds, toastedCrackers and/or party rye bread
Beat together all ingredients except nuts and crackers until light and fluffy. Cover; chill up to 24 hours. Stir in nuts just before serving. Serve with crackers. Makes 2 1/2 cups.
I've seen the white wine Worcestershire...I rarely use it.
It is a much diluted version of the regular (brown) Worcestershire. So I would start by halves. I would only add !/2 TBSP of the regular stuff. Taste it. Add more if needed.
Sorry I can't be more help
I haven't seen it on the store shelves for a while now. From what I remember it tasted quite a bit different from the dark worcestershire sauce.
Thank you, Cathy and Chefly! I was guessing that it tasted like regular brown Worcestershire, but was white, so it wouldn't darken the food's color. From your replies, I see that such is not the case.

White Worcestershire sauce is a lighter blend of the classic sauce,
made with Sauterne. If you can't find white Worcestershire, make a
substitute by mixing 1 1/2 tablespoons dry sherry, 1/2 teaspoon cider
vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
I have seen this before, but have never tried it. Now I am curious, Think I'll give it a try as sometimes the regular does give certain foods a nasty unappealing color ~ Janie ~l

Lea & Perrins recently created White Wine Worcestershire sauce. It' s a zesty herb and spice marinade. Thicker and lighter in color than the original, it is enlivened with the aroma of white sauterne wine. The White Wine Worcestershire sauce is made to cling to chicken for basting in the oven, and it adds zest to any lighter fare including fish, seafood, pork and vegetables.The original Worcestershire sauce dates to 1835, when Lord Marcus Sandys, the Governor of Bengal, retired from India and returned home to Worcestershire in England. India is a land of different worlds wafting with the scents of chili, tamarind, cloves, cumin, coriander, cayenne and a myriad of other spices. Indian food is famous for marinating chicken in aromatic vindaloos, and roasting it as spicy chicken kebabs, like Chicken Tikka; baking it covered as a Murg Massalm spiced chicken; or frying it up as Rustom Chicken, an exotic mixture of fried chicken with spices, ground almonds and roasted cashews. Missing Indian food, the governor asked local chemists John Lea and William Perrins to create a batch of his favorite sauce from a recipe from Bengal. True to the original recipe, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce is a barrel-aged blend of vinegar, molasses, anchovies, onions, garlic, tamarind, cloves, and chili peppers. The rest, as they say, is history.
Lea & Perrins not only made a sauce that took off like a Bengal tiger in England and made it back to India. Throughout time, it has remained one of the most popular blends of spices in Indian cuisine, adding kick to everything from American burgers, and meat dishes world over, such as Indian kebabs and Swedish meatballs.
The White Wine Worcestershire sauce is a reflection of America�s growing taste for eating light and experiencing the bold flavors of Indian food that are always aromatic, sometimes spicy and never bland.
Susan-Serving as a Taste Of Home Field Editor since 2009
I use this a lot and like it.. I think is has a better flavor than the regular sauce but just my opinion. I know that no one in my house know the difference if they do they have not said anything..
Thanks to everyone for your replies and very helpful advice! I look forward to trying this recipe.
Alliea, Thank so much for all of the great information ~ Janie ~ I will look for some today !~
Thanks Alliea!!
Thank you so much for this information .... I found a recipe for a Poppy Seed Dressing that called for the White Wine Worcestershire sauce and I had never heard of it. At the store the only thing I could find was the marinade. I didn't buy it, but will go back for it now that I know it is the same thing. YAY!!!

Second Minister for Home Affairs, Mr S Iswaran's (extreme right) interacting with SCDF rescuers in informal group chats to get a better idea of their experiences. PHOTO: Matthew Wong
"Regardless of the pain, we just focused on the job," one Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officer said during an informal chat with the Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, Mr S Iswaran.
The officer and several other fire-fighters and Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART) specialists were gathered in a tight circle around Mr Iswaran who is also the Second Minister for Home Affairs and Trade and Industry.
"What was the most difficult thing about the operation? What was the most challenging part for a fire of this scale?" Mr Iswaran asked.
The men shared how difficult it was manoeuvring through thick, black smoke in the burning basement of East Village Hotel and the dangers and uncertainty of accessing the seat of the fire quickly.
One DART specialist could not move his fingers for days after wading through waist-deep wet cement to find two missing workers under the rubble of collapsed scaffolding at the Bugis Downtown Line (DTL) construction site.
These 120 officers' rescue efforts were commended by the Second Minister at a special private event held at the SCDF Senior Officer and Junior Officer (SOJO) Mess on the evening of 27 July 2012.
The event was held in appreciation of the rescue and recovery efforts during the East Village Hotel fire and the DTL scaffolding collapse incident where 11 officers were injured.
As rescue personnel, during informal chats with the Minister, described how they overcame the challenges they faced during the incidents, one thing was clear—their training prepared them well.
On 16 July 2012, the East Village Hotel in Marine Parade was engulfed by smoke from a fire that broke out in the basement of the building.
In all, 50 people were safely evacuated and 11, including two SCDF fire fighters, were sent to the Singapore General Hospital for treatment.
Just two days after the fire, temporary scaffolding used for the construction of a roof at the new Downtown Line (DTL) Bugis station construction site gave way killing two workers.
Nine DART officers sustained chemical burns on their arms, hands and lower parts of their bodies caused by elements in the wet cement they waded through to search for two missing workers.
Addressing the officers, Mr Iswaran expressed sadness over the tragic loss of the construction workers' lives.
However, he shared how honoured he felt to be there among people who had risked their own lives to tackle the incidents.
"To me, what the two incidents brought across were two or three very important messages. Firstly, your operating environment is a very challenging one. The nature of your operating environment is very unpredictable and presents a different set of challenges every time," said the Minister.
"It calls all your skills and training to solve the problems and save lives. Your professionalism, your training, your commitment to the job came through very clearly."
Acknowledging the "dangerous nature of the work", given how the two workers had lost their lives and SCDF's own officers were injured, he applauded the courage and conviction the officers showed.
Inspired by the strong sense of mission the SCDF fire-fighting and rescue teams had upheld, Mr Iswaran said he had wanted to come down to personally thank all of them for all their hard work.
"It takes courage and conviction to take on a task like this," said Mr Iswaran.
Commander for Changi Fire Station, Major Chong Wei was heartened by the encouragements from the Minister."The question he asked was very relevant because most people will not ask what type of risks we faced. The Minister coming down here is a good enough recognition for us," shared Major Chong.

In fact, they represent a kind of red herring... that is, a clue that misleads or distracts the reader.
The news concerned a year-long clinical trial in people whod just suffered their first heart attack.
|Key Points
The authors of the German study found that when heart attack survivors took fish oil for one year in addition to "optimal conventional therapy - surgery followed by daily doses of several cardiac drugs - they did not enjoy reduced risks of a second heart attack, stroke, or death within one year.
However, three prior clinical trials of similar design showed that supplemental fish oil can cut substantially reduce the risk of heart-related death especially the most common, heart-beat related kind, called "sudden cardiac death. (Lee JH et al. 2008)
The largest previous clinical trial (GISSI-Prevenzione) - which involved 11,000 participants taking standard cardiac drugs plus fish oil - found a huge 40 percent reduction in sudden cardiac deaths, versus drug therapy alone.
Those results which match those of a major statin drug trial, suggest that omega-3s can be as effective as those common drugs (Marchioli R et al. 2001; Marchioli R et al. 2007; Tonkin AM et al. 2006).
In fact, the overwhelming majority of evidence supports the current medical consensus, which holds that omega-3-rich diets help protect cardiac health and reduce the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease (CVD).
When the scientists who co-authored the current American Heart Association recommendations reviewed all of the evidence in 2006, they reaffirmed the associations position in favor of omega-3s: " most epidemiologic studies and randomized controlled trials have provided strong evidence of a cardio-protective effect of [omega-3] fatty acids (Gebauer SK et al. 2006).
The prior, positive clinical trials showed that heart attack survivors who take fish oil capsules suffer fewer cardiac-related deaths and second heart attacks. (Fish oil is not yet proven to reduce the risk of a first heart attack.)
And related research shows additive reductions in major heart-risk factors when people add fish oil to statin drug therapy.
For example, two recent trials in patients with high blood fat and non-HDL cholesterol levels showed that fish oil plus simvastatin (Zocor) improved blood fat profiles more than simvastatin alone (Davidson MH et al. 2007; Maki KC et al. 2008).
What do omega-3s do, exactly?
World and U.S. researchers agree that omega-3s reduce the risk of strokes, sudden cardiac death, and second heart attacks, by doing several things.
Some of these cardio-related omega-3 effects are better documented than others, and there they are, in rough descending order of the strength of the current consensus:
Well-documented effects with clinical evidence
- Lower blood triglyceride (fat) levels
- Raise levels of "good (HDL) cholesterol
- Lower levels of all other forms of cholesterol*
- Reduce risk of arrhythmia (erratic heart rhythms)**
- Animal and/or lab evidence only or primarily
- May stabilize arterial plaque by moderating inflammation.
- May reduce oxidation of cholesterol into dangerous forms.
- May reduce accumulation of fat in the main coronary artery (aorta)
**Sudden cardiac death results when heart rhythms go haywire. Omega-3s and certain cardiac drugs stabilize heart rhythms.
These facts explain why the American Heart Association urges everyone to enjoy two servings of fish a week and advises heart patients to take 1000 mg of supplemental fish oil daily.
These were the conclusions of the most recent AHA Scientific Statement on fish and fish oil for heart health: "Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown in epidemiological and clinical trials to reduce the incidence of CVD [cardiovascular disease]. (Kris-Etherton PM et al. 2002)
And the AHAs 2002 statement was specific about the intake levels needed, saying that people who take 5 grams to 1.8 grams daily (either as fatty fish or supplements) significantly reduce their risk of dying from heart-related reasons or any others.
It appears highly unlike that the unusual results of the new trial will change that advice, for several reasons.
Why the German findings dont change the overall picture
Three things help explain the new studys failure to find extra benefits when fish oil is added to optimal conventional therapy:
- Drug therapy for heart attack survivors has advanced since the prior, clearly positive clinical trials were published a point made by the German researchers themselves.
- The trials one-year duration was short, in terms of the time it takes for cardiovascular disease to worsen again following the surgical interventions many of the patients received.
- The German trial excluded anyone whod already been taking fish oil, to narrow the findings to people who only start taking fish oil after a heart attack. However, omega-3s accumulate in tissues over time, and affect several of the processes that cause heart disease to gradually progress.
"It would be incorrect to say that omega-3 fatty acids are not effective, but we could not find any additional benefits [within one year] after optimizing medical therapy (AFP 2009).
As in prior clinical trials, each of the patients in the new study received several prescription drugs proven to reduce rates of death and/or heart attacks and strokes.
Researchers must provide proven life-protective drugs to clinical trial participants, even though that ethical requirement makes it harder to identify the benefits provided by an experimental preventive agent such as fish oil.
The German OMEGA trial, in detail
The results of the clinical trial, call OMEGA, were announced by researchers from the University of Heidelberg during the 58th conference of the American College of Cardiology in Orlando, Florida.
The study involved 3,827 patients from 104 German hospitals, heart centers and university hospitals.
Within a few days of suffering a heart attack, patients were placed on one of three regimens:
- Combination drug therapy
- Combination drug therapy + fish oil
- Combination drug therapy + placebo pill
- Aspirin - 95% (ease blood flow and lower inflammation)
- Beta-blockers - 94% (for cardiac arrhythmias and hypertension)
- Statins - 94% (lower cholesterol and inflammation levels)
- Clopidogrel - 88% (ease blood flow)
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors - 83% (boost heart output, ease blood flow, lower blood pressure)
After one year, there were no significant differences between patients taking prescribed drugs alone, versus patients taking prescribed drugs plus fish oil, in terms of their health status and average blood triglyceride levels.
The health status of the patients in both groups was the same in terms of overall death rates and with regard to rates of "adverse cardiac events: a term that encompasses heart attacks, stroke, and sudden cardiac death.
As the Germans wrote, "Based on available data, the use of omega-3 fatty acids after an acute coronary syndrome cannot be endorsed [for patients already taking optimal drug therapy].
However, they were not denying the value of omega-s for overall cardiac health.
Instead, the Germans simply meant that, based on their trials outcome, they could not ensure heart attack survivors on state-of-the art drug therapy that they would reduced their cardiac risks further during the first year by also taking omega-3 fish oil.
While this studys results cannot be dismissed, theyre substantially outweighed by findings from several similar trials, which have demonstrated clear benefits for heart attack survivors.
Given the very large body of credible evidence supporting the hearth benefits of fish and fish oil, we hope that reports on this new trial dont deter similarly situated heart patients from consuming omega-3s in abundance.

NEW DELHI: Observing that trans-border intervention fuelled the threat of terrorism and Left-wing extremism, President Pratibha Patil on Tuesday said that an institutional mechanism needs to be evolved to seamlessly share intelligence on real-time basis to foil their attempts.
"The big challenge facing us is the battle against terrorism, Left wing extremism and insurgency. Outfits with varying goals have been waging a long and ensuring warfare against the State with some forming a mutually supportive grid in this proxy warfare," she said inaugurating a two-day conference of Governors here.

My name is Ron Graham. I am a mathematician and a professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California at San Diego. I am also the current president of the Mathematical Association of America, or MAA, an organization with some 27,000 members whose mission is to promote communication, teaching and learning, and research in mathematics and its uses, especially at the collegiate level, for all who are interested in the mathematical sciences.
I would like to first thank the Subcommittee for its steadfast support of the National Science Foundation in recent years, providing over and over again increases well above the Administration's requests for this great driver of scientific education and research. As you are well aware, Congress as a whole has shown its strong support for NSF through the passage of Public Law 107-368, which authorized a doubling of the NSF budget. While we in the education and research communities are well aware of the severe budget constraints you face, we urge you to do all that you can to fulfill the goals of that legislation. MAA believes that NSF's investments have been and continue to be vitally important for this Nation's long-term economic and national security.
I would like to focus on one area of NSF's portfolio today, an area which affects not only every field of science and engineering but also, the nation's long-term economic development, national security, and general welfare. This area is mathematics education, particularly at the undergraduate level. Undergraduate education is the crucial link in the educational system preparing our mathematicians, scientists, health care professionals, engineers, technological workforce, and the teachers of the next generation of students. The National Security Agency is the largest employer in the world of mathematicians at all levels of educational background.
NSF funds undergraduate mathematics education through two divisions: the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE), located in the Education and Human Resources Directorate, and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS), located in the Mathematics and Physical Sciences Directorate. Both are essential to ensure that the number of mathematically-trained U.S. citizens does not drop below the level needed to sustain U.S. technological leadership. DUE and DMS collaborated in funding the Calculus Reform effort of the first half of the 1990's. Not only did this program change and modernize the teaching of calculus in high schools and colleges, the program was largely responsible for spurring renewal across science, technology, engineering and mathematics undergraduate education throughout the country. In our view, no single educational program has ever had such widespread impact.
A National Academy of Sciences report in 1998 concluded that, "based on present trends, it is unlikely that the U.S. will be able to maintain world leadership in the mathematical sciences." In response to this report and others, NSF and Congress have increased funding for mathematical sciences research significantly in the past 5 years, doubling the research budget from about $100 million in FY 1998 to $200 million in FY 2005. We at MAA strongly support this increased investment, and believe that the nation would be well-served by continuing to increase mathematical sciences research funding. However, we also believe that research funding alone will not solve the nation's difficulties in attracting and educating students and teachers in the mathematical sciences.
The Division of Undergraduate Education at NSF aims to improve mathematics and science education through the reform of courses, curricula, and instructional materials, and to increase the quality and quantity of the mathematics and science workforce. DUE programs fund innovative efforts at colleges and universities in every state and at every level, all in an effort to find the best ways to increase the scientific and technological literacy of the nation's youth. DUE administers the Advanced Technological Education program - a program created by a member of this Subcommittee, Congressman David Price. The ATE program enables two-year colleges to collaborate with industry in the development of programs and courses for the education of the nation's technological workforce. DUE is responsible for programs in teacher training. Not getting the education of teachers right the first time results in large expenditures for teacher training later.
While the NSF budget has grown overall, undergraduate education has actually declined. In FY 2004 alone, DUE was cut by nearly $20 million from the FY 2003 level. In FY 2005, DUE would receive $159 million under the Administration's request - an increase of 2%. Report after report has stated that the key to continued economic vitality is a better educated workforce, particularly in mathematics and science. Therefore, MAA urges Congress to provide $200 million for NSF's DUE program in FY 2005. This amount would reverse the nearly $20 million reduction these programs suffered in FY 2004 and put it on a path that will enable the nation's institutions of higher education - including our community colleges -- to more fully participate in NSF's undergraduate programs.
Another program I would like to mention and urge you to support, offered by DMS, is VIGRE (Vertical Integration Grants for Research and Education in the Mathematics Sciences), which brings together university professors, graduate students, and undergraduate students on research projects and education. Universities with VIGRE grants report a dramatic increase in the numbers of highly qualified U.S. citizens pursuing graduate degrees in the mathematical sciences. The program has recently broadened to support faculty and students from all types of institutions to improve the pipeline from the undergraduate years through positions in the workforce and academe.
Finally, I would like to briefly mention the Mathematics and Science Partnership program, which would be transferred to the Department of Education under the FY 2005 budget request. MSP funds projects aimed at addressing the lackluster performance of U.S. children in K-12 science and mathematics by creating partnerships among teachers and researchers. NSF is perhaps best known for its strict use of merit review of grant proposals - the practice used in determining which MSP projects to fund. In our view, transferring the MSP program to the Department of Education will diminish the use of merit review and lead to a very different kind of education program. MAA believes, if transferred to the Department, MSP funds will likely be distributed via block grants, which could spread the money too thinly to do any real good and which will, in all likelihood, result in much of the funding being redirected at the state level to programs outside the scope of MSP's original intent. We at MAA urge you to keep MSP at the National Science Foundation.
Again, I understand the very tight budgetary constraints that Congress must confront this year. At the same time, it is vitally important that we invest wisely in the economic future of the nation through science and technology education. I urge you again to increase funding for DUE's Undergraduate Education program for a total of $200 million in FY 2005, to support the VIGRE program, and to oppose the transfer of the Math Science Partnerships to the Education Department. These programs are vitally important to colleges and universities at all levels in all states and for supplying the teachers and the high-tech workforce we need in the 21st century.
Thank you for your time today. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Trading Idea: Momentum Building in Juniper Networks
Published on Thursday, 10 January 2013 05:28 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, January 10th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:JNPR) closed the trading session at $19.95 with its price action in a very tight range, given that calculated support is set at $19.55 and the calculated resistance is set at $20.70.
Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:JNPR) provides Internet infrastructure solutions for Internet service providers and other telecommunications service providers. The Company offers network infrastructure solutions that include IP routing, Ethernet switching, security and application acceleration solutions.
Juniper Networks' stock price action indicates that both sellers and buyers are materializing very close to each other. This signals an area where momentum is building, since the stock can resolve by breaking out of the developing tight range.
Traders wanting to establish a position should pay close attention to Juniper Networks' price action, as any movement outside its predefined range of $19.55 and $20.70 could grasp the attention of momentum buyers that look for a big movement in the price of the stock. Traders need to be aware that tight range resolution works both ways, hence, a move below support could spark above the average selling. A tiered approach could be the best way to start a position; enter into it while the stock is in the tight range, and then add to this position as it breaks and closes above resistance.

"John Carlson is a big burly defensemen, he is a real good skater and a strong skater. He runs the power-play from the top of the umbrella and he has a very heavy shot. He's a very self-assured kid and rightfully so -- he's a boy, yet in a man's body and very physically strong . . . I knew when I first saw him that he was a first-round pick. He was a guy I had seen before as an under-ager. He had all the tools – size, skill, physical presence and charisma."
Indiana Ice head coach Charlie Skjodt
"When I look at John Carlson, I just see pro written all over him. He's big, strong, can absolutely rip it. He's good on his feet and agile for a big kid. He's poised at all times and just has the mind for the game. He never gets rattled . . . as a coach, you know what you are going to get every time John goes out on the ice."

Synopsys India and the Community
Ravi Vattipalli, Engineering Project leader with Synopsys in Bangalore, summarises the importance of supporting strong links with the local community.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) means a great deal to Synopsys India as an organization. We see our presence as a company as an integral part of Indian society. We exist alongside individuals in a capacity that is equally capable of contributing to the lives of local people, to the environment and other institutions.
Giving something back, in return for the benefits the company has gained by operating in this region, is a responsibility and not a service.
Synopsys India is involved in many different kinds of CSR initiatives. Synopsys reaches out to local communities by supporting educational programs with resources and employee leadership. Our main focus has been on improving education opportunities for under-privileged students. A range of activities has included provision of support for mid-day meals and the supply of back-packs to meritorious students. Summer camps in science have also been sponsored. Indeed, starting in 2003, Synopsys India has organized an annual science fair, or workshop "Disha" for government schools.
Individual Synopsys employees have been actively involved in volunteering for blood donation camps, raising funds and working with various non-profit organizations, and making contributions to disaster relief funds.
Aligned with Business Objectives
CSR activities are strongly aligned with the company's business model and objectives. Innovation and research made a major contribution to Synopsys becoming the leader in the EDA industry. As an industry we have made incredible progress in exploiting advanced semiconductor technology. Continuing that trend is only possible if the best people are drawn into engineering as a profession. Synopsys believes that supporting education initiatives, particularly in science and math, and mentoring students from school level will inspire the next generation of technology leaders.
Synopsys' links with the education system span the entire academic spectrum, with a number of programs and research activities underway with the leading technological institutes of India.
Our corporate and social activities stretch beyond the short-term business goals of the company. There are no expectations for a quick return on investment. CSR provides a good platform for a company to be perceived in the right way, demonstrate its value system to the general public, the industry and academia by increasing awareness of Synopsys India's growing contribution to community programs.

On a September morning in 1944, British Lt. Gen. Brian Horrocks -- a World War I veteran who had survived Dunkirk and stormed ashore at Normandy -- stood in front of a group of officers in a movie theater in a small Flemish town.
He was there to lay out the plans for Operation Market Garden, a thrust toward the heart of Germany that, it was hoped, would bring a quick end to the war. (It didn't.)
"This is a tale you will tell your grandchildren," he said to the assembled officers, "and mighty bored they will be."
It has now been nearly 70 years since Horrocks' quip, but the children of those who fought in World War II, their children and their children's children have become bored with the grim warfare that consumed much of the world for more than seven years.
Many veterans were reluctant to speak of those years, as reflected by Paul Fussell, an infantryman during the war and later a noted historian, who said in Ken Burns' documentary "The War" that "it doesn't get to me very often, except when I talk about it, and I seldom do that." But historians and writers have found new approaches to this material, and interest has only soared in recent years with a flood of documentaries (such as "The War"), feature films ("Saving Private Ryan") and series such as HBO's "Band of Brothers."
At least some credit for that continuing interest must go to writer Rick Atkinson. A Washington Post journalist who became a historical writer, Atkinson started what would turn out to be a trilogy on the war in the European theater with 2002's "An Army at Dawn: The War in North Africa, 1942-1943." Critically acclaimed, the book became a best-seller and won a Pulitzer Prize. He followed that with "The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily, 1943-1944" in 2007 and, now, the final installment: "The Guns at Last Light: The War in Western Europe, 1944-1945."
Atkinson quickly gained his place among that small group of writers who successfully took both macro and micro views of the conflict. There are writers who take the mile-high view, dissecting strategy and parsing the idiosyncrasies of the war's leaders. There are others who bring to life the men and women who fought and died. With incredible detail, a keen eye for the telling moment and potent storytelling, Atkinson artfully mixed both approaches in "An Army at Dawn" and "The Day of Battle" -- and he does so again with "The Guns at Last Light."
There is no question he goes at his work from an American perspective. While he is adept at describing what took place with the British forces, the French resistance and the German military, he focuses on the American forces, from Dwight D. Eisenhower to the lowliest dogface soldier. On the whole, he admires what they accomplished and their valor in battle.
But he is not blinded by the notion of a "good war" or unwilling to write of disastrous failures, both in battle and away from the fighting. He paints a portrait of Gen. George S. Patton as an often-superb front-line commander -- and a deeply flawed human being. Even Eisenhower, who is generally an Atkinson favorite, made mistakes, and the writer notes them. (You can imagine what he does to the egotistical British military leader Bernard Montgomery and the self-aggrandizing Charles de Gaulle.)
Nor does he shy away from the less glorious sides of the war. He spends pages (never at the expense of the narrative) on the high level of desertions among U.S. soldiers, the looting of European cities (Army military police units were known as the "Lootwaffe"), black marketeering, and times when rage so consumed units that unarmed prisoners were slaughtered.
Atkinson brings a fresh eye to some famous battles: Omaha Beach, the Battle of the Bulge, and the ill-fated Operation Market Garden, which inspired Cornelius Ryan's "A Bridge Too Far." But he also writes of lesser-known clashes.
The battle of Metz in northeastern France, for example, was a brutal three-month struggle between Patton's Third Army and troops commanded by German Gen. Heinrich Kittel. Patton's forces repeatedly threw themselves against the determined German line of defense, with thousands dying before the Americans finally broke through.
It is all fascinating stuff -- whether it's moments in the war you've never heard of or new details about the famous battles -- and Atkinson brings them to life with skillful use of the language.
In the end, though, it is the people who fought the war who are closest to Atkinson's heart. On the closing pages of "Guns at Last Light," he wisely chooses to find summation of his work in the words of journalist Alan Moorehead, one of the great writers on the war.
"The anti-aircraft gunner in a raid and the boy in a landing barge did feel at moments the thing they were doing was a clear and definite good, the best they could do," Moorehead wrote in the final days of the conflict. "And at those moments there was a surpassing satisfaction, a sense of exactly and entirely fulfilling one's life. This thing, the brief ennoblement, kept recurring again and again up to the end, and it refreshed and lighted the whole heroic and sordid story."
Atkinson's trilogy also lights the whole heroic and sordid story. It is a monumental piece of historical writing.

Drew Barrymore, Justin Long seriously in love
After Long walked the red carpet for his flick at Cinema 2 on the upper East Side with co-star Meg Ryan, the bubbly blond asked the actor if he was coming with her inside the theatre. However, Justin whispered to her: "I'm being Mr. Hollywood tonight...I have another premiere to go to!"
Shortly after that, spies further downtown at the Loews Union Square, where Barrymore"s premiere was taking place, saw Long sneak on in. Later, the couple later stopped by the Tribeca Film Institute's fete for 'Everybody's Fine" at Tavern on The Green, where they hung with Justin's good pal and Drew's co-star Sam Rockwell, while Justin's cast feted their flick without him further East at a SKYY party at Rogue Tomate.
"They looked very happy. It definitely seems serious," the New York Daily News quoted one partygoer as saying.

Infosys to G-20: Deal With FX Spat
Interview: Infosys CEO on G-20
Infosys Chief Executive S. Gopalakrishnan, speaking on the sidelines of a G-20 event in Seoul, said the outsourcing firm expects business to pick up as economic confidence grows.
He also commented on the G-20, U.S. President Barack Obama's recent trip to India, and the increasingly hot topic of foreign exchange. Excerpts from his remarks:
On FX:
This is a challenge which we face, but there's only so much we can do. Currency has been fluctuating violently…and that is always a challenge for any businesses. Currency flows are very important. If you look at a country like India, the institutional flows into India are significant right now and that is creating these fluctuations of currency.
When it's (currencies) fluctuating it's difficult to plan your business, and you can't plan your expenses, you cannot plan your revenues properly.
We take the currency at the exchange rate of the last day of the quarter, and we plan (for) that. We hedge also, but we hedge for the short term. Hedging will only allow us to dampen the impact rather than completely eliminate the impact. Our goal is to minimize the impact of this fluctuation rather than completely eliminate this. We also have cross-currency issues. It's not about rupee and dollar, but dollar vs. euro, or dollar vs. yen. Every one of those things will have an impact.
On his hopes for the G-20 meeting:
Protectionism, as well as any currency war that could come out of the different responses from different countries… are what we need to worry about and what we hope gets addressed during the G-20 meeting. It is very important for the global recovery to make sure that coordinated action between countries continue, rather than countries acting unilaterally. I think that's what's expected during the G-20 summit.
On President Obama's India visit:
President Obama's visit to India was a very important milestone in the relationship between both countries. He sees India as a huge market which can benefit U.S. companies, and clearly he's driving to increase trade between both the countries.

Recent surveys about social media use pointed to one clear fact: women dominate men.
It's not just that more women use the most popular social networks, we can slice the data in different ways and why, if you own or manage a business, you should take note of this gender trend (other trends include education, age, and household income).
Culling data from Pew Research Center, Nielsen, and Burst Media (a private marketing communications company), an infographic published by FinancesOnline breaks down the survey results into general "behavioral dominance" to review how women dominate social media in 2013, and possibly in the future.
Women use social media more often than men, every day. That's because they use social media in more ways than men. Women check news on social sites more often. They are also likelier to interact with brands. And, of course, to catch up or share stories with friends.

Perhaps the most telling part of the culled data is that women lead the trend in accessing social media through smartphones and tablets, the future growth area of the Internet. Forty-six percent of women use a smartphone to access their social account versus 43% for men. Similarly, 32% of women use a tablet compared to just 20% of men. The disparity becomes more significant when you consider the Business Insider report saying 60% of social media time is spent on mobile.
Equally revealing, women set the trend towards visually oriented websites or apps. In fact, the three fastest growing social sites today—Instagram, Tumblr, and Pinterest—are used by more women than men. Nothing showcases this visual trend set by women than in Pinterest, where 33% of online women in the U.S. are into it compared to just 8% of online men.
What to make out of the gender trend? For one, you may need to craft your online message with women in mind, or put subtle women-leaning designs into your website or app. If you're a man, you know you talk differently with a woman than with your sports buddy. If you're a woman, you know what to do. You rule social media.

I received a catalog addressed to my address, but to an individual that has never lived here. But........this person has "Pre-approved Credit". How can they? When they've never lived here?
Obviously, this catalog or other mail can be sent to someone and if someone interested in ID theft gets ahold of it and uses it to order things from this official address, or things are delivered that I didn't order but have to pay big bucks to return, I could have a problem on my hands.
I can't get in touch with anyone to take this address their mailing list w/o having to give my SS number or other private information. Numbers that i get off the net are not being answered or no longer in service for this company.
Obviously, this is just a rip-off organization.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Ever wonder what it takes to run Rocky Mountain National Park for almost 100 years?
The Rocky Mountain Conservancy, formerly known as the Rocky Mountain Nature Association, is offering a behind-the-scenes tour May 9.
The conservancy is the nonprofit partner of the national park, which was founded in September 1915 as the country's 13th national park. The nonprofit hosts a variety of cultural and natural history classes, some for credit, and will celebrate the park's centennial with events starting in September.
Rachel Balduzzi, the conservancy's field institute director, will lead the behind-the-scenes tour, which is limited to 14 adults and costs $35 each.
Between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., participants will explore secret trails and learn about how the park operates.
They will visit the backcountry office and camping areas, learn how visitor permits are issued and find out about fire management. They will check out the operations stations for the national park's rangers, tour the greenhouse where plants are grown for revegetation of disturbed areas and look through the park's museum storage to see some of the artifacts.
Balduzzi said she will teach participants about the differences among the divisions that manage the park, including the ranger division, resource management division and interpretation division, and show them the gear used by search-and-rescue teams.
The tour will end with a picnic at the field institute and information about how to get involved in helping the park for future generations.
Balduzzi worked for years in the park's interpretation and education departments. She also has a master's degree in education and experience teaching for the Estes Park School District.
Reserve a spot on the tour by calling (970) 586-3262 or checking out the seminar course calendar at rmna.org (soon to become RMConservancy.org).

Great patch. Thanks for the corrections.
Can't apply the patch directly. According to django standards, translators must appear in AUTHORS, not in .po files. And catalan translation team decided to leave django-cat@… as last translator.

Thanks for the diff, I'm cleaning up and updating catalan now so I'll commit this during the week.
comment:3 Changed 8 years ago by telenieko
Hi guys,
I've been reading through the patch preparing the commit and I've a few questions, well, one.
I see that there's a persona change, from the impersonal form on singular to the plural of it:
vosté > vostés
And some that seem inconsistent to me:
entri > entreu, that changes from 2nd Singular Impersonal to 2nd plural Personal.
I raise the question because when I submited the first version of the catalan translation I brought that to discussion on django-i18n,
latin languages have this "more polite" impersonal form (Usted/Ustedes, Vosté/Vostés) and it seems that the correct way to go is "Vosté" (2nd person, singular, impersonal).
So, for now I'll change does personas on the diff to match "Vosté", in singular. If you have any concerns let me know.
(note that English isn't my native language so discussing language issues in English is a bit hard :)

Definición de caprice en inglés:
1A sudden and unaccountable change of mood or behavior: her caprices had made his life impossible a land where men were ruled by law and not by caprice
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- Her narrative follows a loopy line traced more by mood and caprice than by causation or chronology.
- Essentially, what has happened to O'Neill is no more than life, with all its vagaries and caprices.
- Dip in, and let yourself be governed by mood and caprice.
whim, whimsy, vagary, fancy, fad, quirk, eccentricity, foible
fickleness, changeableness, volatility, capriciousness, unpredictability
2 Music another term for capriccio.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- Dubost had herself conceived the ballet as a musical caprice and had given the ten leaves of her fan to ten different composers asking each of them to compose a single dance number.
- Studies for solo violin include Paganini's brilliant 24 caprices, which provided a fertile source of inspiration for other composers.
- I was feeling the exhaustion keenly - but not enough to make a complete ass of myself during choir, which inched by like a violist playing Paganini caprices.
Mid 17th century: from French, from Italian (see capriccio).
A caprice and hedgehogs seem far apart but if you put the Italian words capo 'head' and riccio 'hedgehog' together you get the word capriccio, or 'hedgehog-head'—a head with the hair standing on end, like a hedgehog's spines. This is what can happen if you are terrified by something, so capriccio, the source of English caprice, came to mean 'horror or shuddering'. Over time this eventually became 'a sudden start, a sudden change', perhaps influenced by Italian caper. Compare horror

Dear Abby: His upbringing seems to keep him from getting past my past
Dear Abby: I have been dating someone for about six months. We fell in love very quickly and spend almost every second together.
Our relationship has hit a rough patch ever since he found out that I have dated African-American men. He can't seem to get over it, but he keeps saying he wants to try to make it work.

Heart care honored by group
EmergyCare has received the American Heart Association's Mission: Lifeline EMS Silver Award. It recognizes commitment and success in implementing specific quality improvement measures for the treatment of patients who suffer a severe heart attack, known as a STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction).
EmergyCare is one of 10 EMS agencies in Pennsylvania to earn the Silver Award.
EmergyCare joins 99 other agencies in the country at this top award level for 2014.
Each year, almost 300,000 people experience a STEMI, a type of heart attack caused by a complete blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment.
To prevent death, it's critical to restore blood flow to the patient as quickly as possible.
Blood flow can be restored either by surgically opening the blocked vessel or by giving clot-busting medication.
Unfortunately, a significant number don't receive prompt reperfusion therapy, which is critical in restoring blood flow.
Mission: Lifeline seeks to save lives by closing the gaps that separate STEMI patients from timely access to appropriate treatments.
Mission: Lifeline's new EMS recognition program recognizes those emergency responders for their efforts in improving STEMI systems of care and improving the quality of life for these patients.
