I've just noticed they have a price reduction for PowerDVD Pro and Ultra till 2 February 2016.
Pro costs 47,99/$49.95/£38.99/
Ultra costs 59,99/$59.95/£44.99
By the way - is there a thread at the forum where the members can report sales, giveaways etc?
To me, video, Blu-ray and DVD on PowerDVD look the best out of any other video player out there and I tried them all: Total MediaTheatre, WinDVD, Zoom Player, KMPlayer, Media Player Classic HC, VLC among others.
I would have given it a 10 but new version 11 cannot play VP6-FLV, it's not supported, ridiculous considering the majority of FLV's on the internet are VP6. Otherwise, it can play any kind of video, MKV, AVI, DivX, ASF, MP4, MPG, WMV, FLV-AVC/AAC, Silverlight. The playback of high definition 1080p and 720p AVC/H.264 MKV's especially look great, sharp, crystal clear, vibrant colors and if you have good speakers, the DTS multi-channel surroud sound and even AC-3 Dolby sound like you're in a movie theatre. Subtitles internal or external display clear and crisp: SRT, UTF-8, PGS, etc. except that VobSub subtitles, like those created by HandBrake encodes are not supported, another reason I didn't give it a 10.
It works right out the box, you don't have to go crazy adjusting the settings like other video players out there for simple things; it starts up maximized instead of in a tiny little window, aspect ratio is automatically set according to the source, when watching a movie it automatically goes to full screen mode after a few seconds and a if you just move the mouse a little it will set it back to normal display, pressing the keyboard up/down buttons skips through the movie forward or back, space bar pauses/plays, pressing the "C" key captures a screen shot, etc. are already set up, no need to play around with settings.
It has a built in video library, just click on the Video tab and the directory where your videos are display in thumbnail or list form. Just double click to open, or it can open a video from Windows Explorer as well. It integrates seemless with Windows Media Center and you can easily set up a remote control device to use with it just by paring it using a 4-digit code PowerDVD lists on the Device Tab an dconfigure it.
As far as pictures and music go, it has capabilities for that but I prefer Winamp for my music and ACDSee Pro for my pictures.
PowerDVD 11 Ultra is the best video player for viewing high definition videos, Blu-ray or DVD's on your PC. But you be the judge, Compare and see and listen for yourself.
I still use PowerDVD version 5.0 with my XP Home op system which works OK to play ordinary DVD movies on my computer, to flip through the chapters of a movie, and such simple basic operations. I don't try to play .avi or other formats. I tried a later version of PowerDVD which didn't work right. They started bloating PowerDVD with version 7.0 and later although I don't know the exact sizes of the latest versions because I have no reason to try them. The introduction of Blu-Ray makes it too complicated for me wee noodle, so I'll stick with DVDs.
Totally bloated rubbish.Counld't play Blu-ray at all. Took it back for refund. I now use ArcSoft.
Pity because it was good once.
Payed $100 for Power DVD Ultra 8, 6 months later bought a new tv that supports HDMI 1.3 power dvd ultra 8 only supports HDMI 1.2,For $100 you would think you would get decent support you dont.
You have to pay another $100 for Power DVD 9 which supports HDMI 1.3.Swore I would never buy this program again.Get it from a P2P site,far better value, I will willing pay for programs that offer decent support.
I just tried the new 7.0 trial. The dvd I played was badly
pixelated. So I tried different dvd's still the same. So I
installed it on my notebook. The Problem was the same.
Just going keep using 6.0 for now.
Not to mention THE 96MB INSTALL SIZE!
Nero 7 comes to mind..
Has new features that the average user will never use. Do we really need support for MPEG-4 AVC (H.264)? That file format is still in it's infancy. Oh, and the picture quality while viewing DVD's is the same as 6.
If you already have 6 installed on your computer, don't bother with this bloated mess!
Power DVD version 6 does not play MPEG 2 files with a multiplexed MPEG 1 Audio Layer 2 (MP2) (0xc0) stream, even when an MP2 third party audio codec (Moonlight Cordless) is installed.
This is my favorite software DVD Player.Very good picture quality and seems very reliable,it dont keep crashing.It supports quite a lot of audio and video formats as well.
The only thing I dislike is that it is becoming more bloated.
Appalling, rubbish and untimately frustrating. Every time I try to play a Copy Protected DVD (that I bought out of a shop, mind you, not copied at all) it refuses to play it because its afraid that I'm going to connect my TV-Out to a VCR in an effort to violate copyright laws. I have absolutely no intention on making inferior VHS copies, so it's extra bad. The interface is nice, it works quite well when it does actually work, but if you want to play anything except a DVD or (S)VCD' forget it, AVI's etc. The aspect ration is almost always wrong and won't let you change it. I'm disgusted with it and thank god that I didn't pay anything for it as it came free with my DVD Drive.
I'm not very enamored with the picture quality PowerDVD displays, and frankly never have been (this includes both with or without hardware acceleration). What this player has is good sound options (like Dolby Headphone), although they cost and cost plenty.
IMO players like this will soon be ousted by freeware alternatives, as interest in PC video continues to grow.
It does its job well but you need to install a ac3 filter for Xvid movies with ac3 audio. Its not a real media player because it doesnt handle streaming content. Gabest Media Player Classic has more options and plays streaming content and can replace Windows Media Player and best of all its freeware.
It's hard to praise this tool too highly. It works well when playing commercial DVDs, and just as well when playing your own DVD authoring project off hard disk. I've found that if your self authored DVD doesn't play correctly in PowerDVD then it won't play correctly in a standalone DVD player either - knowing this saves a lot of DVD burn time!
Also very useful is the high quality directx drivers which it installs, which means that a lot of third party freeware tools (eg. IfoEdit) will find these drivers and work well on your PC.
My copy came bundled with my PC - so the price was right as well! Don't even think of using anything else!
I like this player very much. I gave a 9 on functionality because it sometimes freezes on some movie that are scratched up. I think it is great. HAs dvd or CD/File mode. One of the few programs that plays VCD DAT files (easily too). Got it free and like that it is easy to use. Right click on screen and you can got to the chapters. Wish they made a remote control for it and a way to fast forward all those preview frames on some dvds.
The picture can be adjusted 4 ways, has 4 skins, and it even has parental control. The full screen is awesome if you have a 1.8ghz pc. It is true full screen covers the whole monitor.
If you were lucky you got PowerDVD bundled with your New DVD Drive/Computer, if you were unlucky you got WinDVD or nothing (though frankly a bundled version of WinDVD is WORSE than nothing!).
PowerDVD is one of the first programs I install on every new machine I build or repair. No DVD equiped PC should be without PowerDVD & DVDDecrypter www.dvddecrypter.com
Used to have 4.0XP. 5 came with my new computer, even after the latest build patch, it doesn't play The Prince of Egypt VCD (2-disc promo with I Love CCM Remakes and Newsongs collection, Korean). It's the only VCD I have to test. Neither disc plays. Before the latest patch, the picture broke up (high error rate it appeared to be, like a digital satellite system in the middle of extremely heavy rain). After the patch, it just doesn't play at all. Works fine in Windows Media Player. And PowerDVD does work great for DVDs, so I guess that's what is important...
Great Tool ! ! ! Unless of course you live in the US and have a problem. You can call for support ! ! that is, you can call Taiwan or Europe ... You can go online ! ! ! but ... you wont find your answers there because their support pages suck and have few items of interest. This really is a great tool, I only wish I could use it on the machine I want. I hope the best for anyone using the program, and hope you never have any problems.
rev. 5 has problems playing svcd's encoded with cinemacraft-encoder - macroblock errors. - Went back to rev. 4
Really nice and thoro. My only problem is that their own Divx decoder does not let me use directshow filters on these movies (such as subtitles).
If you can read this then please at least add an option to disable that codec.

The Green Wave boys tennis team wasnt able to grab the region crown, but should enter the playoffs with its head held high.
Summerville won its final two games of the season this week to improve to 8-2 in Region 8-AAAA but Beaufort beat Bluffton 4-3 Tuesday to move to 9-1 and clinch the region championship.
The Eagles will host the No. 4 seed from Region 7-AAAA in the first round of the playoffs May 6. Summerville finishes as the Region 8 runner-up and will host the No. 3 seed from Region 4-AAAA, which will likely be Lugoff-Elgin. Bluffton finishes third in Region 8 and Ashley Ridge finishes fourth and will travel to the winner of Region 7, likely Wando, for the first round.
Our regular season is over and we have a week to prepare for the playoffs, Summerville coach David Long said. We are very disappointed we did not get at least a share of the region crown and that stings quite a bit. Hats off to Beaufort who went out and earned the region title.
Summerville does still have things to be proud of this season. Had Bluffton won Tuesday Summerville would have been the regions top seed in the playoffs. The Wave split with both Beaufort and Bluffton this year and was fairly dominant in its other region matches. Summerville finishes its schedule with an 11-7 record after facing such non-region teams as Porter-Gaud, Bishop England and Wando.
Green Wave No. 1 singles player Adam Elliget didnt lose a single set this season until April 23 when he lost a highly contested match to Wandos Jacob Jahn, who Elliget had previously defeated in straight sets. Elliget will enter the playoffs with a 14-1 record.
Long is hoping his team will finish the year in style.
We have a lot of talent and experience on this team and we have had some success this season against a very difficult schedule but the fact remains we have fallen short of our goals to this point, He said. We certainly should be very motivated to do well in the playoffs.
Summerville is currently on a two-game winning streak after defeating Colleton County 7-0 Monday and Fort Dorchester 5-1 Tuesday.

Dakota Henry named Miss Rayne 2009
Lisa Soileaux ~ Assistant Editor
Dakota Henry, the 16-year-old daughter of Ricky and Renee Henry, was crowned Miss Rayne 2009 Saturday evening during the annual Miss Rayne Pageant held at the Civic Center.
The new Miss Rayne is an incoming junior at Notre Dame High School of Acadia Parish and is also involved in public speaking, acting, dancing and gymnastics. She was sponsored for the event by Prejean's Repair Service, Inc.
Crowning her successor was the 2008 honoree, Angelle Hollingsworth. Making other presentations to the new Miss Rayne were committee members Josie Henry and William LeBlanc, along with Mayor Jim Petitjean who presented the new Rayne royalty with her banner, floral bouquet, and special basket of goodies from the City of Rayne.
Named Ray*la*ne Princess for the Rayne event was Kayla Jane McFalls-Fontenot, 17-year-old daughter of Jimmy and Norellie McFalls-Fontenot. She was sponsored for the event by Fontenot Insurance Co. in Rayne. Kayla was also presented the People's Choice Award, an honor resulting in votes directly from the audience.
Princess to represent the City of Rayne at the International Rice Festival in Crowley was Morgan Daigle, 16-year-old daughter of Dr. Rowdy and Angela Daigle. She was sponsored for the event by Gretchen Cormier representing Curves for Women. Morgan was also voted by the contestants as Miss Congeniality.
Selected as the City of Rayne's princess to the Church Point Buggy Festival was Jasmine Daney Cook, 17-year-old daughter of Connie L. Cook. She was sponsored for the pageant by the Ebonite Social and Civic Club, Inc. of Rayne.
Complete details and more photos of the pageant will be carried in Thursday's edition of The Rayne Acadian-Tribune.

Kiyo and I live on the edge of Astoria and Long Island City, which allows us to experience the best of both worlds but also means we're sort of suspended in no-man's-land. The rest of civilization is only two short blocks away, but we are lucky enough to enjoy a quiet residential street, which is a welcome respite when you live in the Big Apple. Even though the good restaurants are a 7-10 minute walk from our place, we are lucky enough to have one restaurant only one short block away, so one weekend this Fall we ventured out, but not too far, for brunch at Rèst-âü-Ránt.
Tina Stipanovic, the chef and owner (originally from Croatia), has been a resident of Astoria for the last 22 years and is a "creator;" she made everything in the restaurant from the bar to the cool chandelier hanging above it. The place is very tiny and homey, it definitely has that small neighborhood vibe (all the way down to the chef just not showing up one Sunday for brunch; we were obviously disappointed to be turned away that time). Kiyo ordered a plate of tasty fried chicken and waffles (the waffles were forgettable but the spices on the chicken were delicious) with maple syrup. I had a short rib sandwich with cheese and a fried egg, and French fries AND a salad on the side; so great that I didn't have to choose between them! The fries at this restaurant are always so good, and they give you way too many. The salad had a bit too much oil on it but the sandwich was really delicious. They used American cheese, which I reserve for classic grilled cheese sandwiches (I would have preferred Gruyère or Muenster or something more refined for this dish). In conclusion, this restaurant seems to always have a few hits and misses, but it tries hard, it's a local staple for us and in the end, it's usually pretty good overall.

Morning commutes are rough, and this goat knows it.
The intrepid goat traded in its morning rush hour in the meadow and opted for the freeway instead — on the back of a cyclist in Ethiopia. The cyclist doesn't seem to mind the added weight clinging to his back for dear life. In fact, both are totally chill about it.
We bet the cyclist is pretty glad the goat isn't yelling like this.

Most of the analysis has already been written. So, I won't repeat most of what has been posted already.
Anemic offense that sputtered to life. Shaky defense that slowly found its legs defending the pass. Offensive special teams were terrible. Defensive special teams were much better.
The plodding offense just couldn't find much rhythm (a worry point but that's what these first two scrim... games are for). Maybe this is a green team, but against this opponent, I guess I had expectations of a little more.
But, Norfolk State played above itself, at least for the first half, before their lack of conditioning had them dropping all over the field with cramps. Maybe playing an amped up team (OK, that's a stretch) for a half will sharpen RU up for the difficult games ahead.
But, I do want to mention a few players.
Near the end of the second half, my award for "Wake the Team Up Player of the Night" was given to #24, Mason Robinson. He was on the field a handful of times, and made them count. (Sidenote: A few years back, I recall Mason's catching a beautiful long sideline pass, tiptoeing the sideline and showing great athleticism in a loss down at UofL on a really cold night, Brian Brohm's last game. I always saw him as a receiver since then.)
When a ball comes to Mason in the air in any form, good things happen. It's inevitable. We saw it again last night.
Anyway, late in the first half, Norfolk State lined up to punt, kicked and Mason received. Watching him run it back, he was playing on instinct, and that wonderful speed he has is back. Granted this was Norfolk State, with their cramp-athlon just beginning, but that's a point too (Rutgers players were clearly better conditioned as the game continued).
Mason swung it to the left side of the field, made a few guys miss with his speed, and darted to midfield before being tackled.
That return sparked life into the entire team for the rest of the game. It woke the napping and impatient crowd up, and really seemed to send a message: hey, there's a game here, and some of us are playing it to win.
Mason also had a key catch (among others) in the 2nd half, again showing he is a good receiver and he should play there and get more reps. He was also more physical than I've seen him, so his year off may be paying dividends.
Another heralded player's name finally started being called last night, Keith Stroud. A very physical night for him, some good catches, and consistent play. My response to that is ... more!
On the other side, Savage was sporadic, with some "holy smokes how long is he going to hold onto the ball" plays (and sacks). He showed great feel in the first half, moving away from pressure and some nice scrambles for gain (learn to slide Tom!) That broke down and he appeared hesitant and confused at times in the second half. He is working with mostly new receivers now.
Jordan Thomas had some spark, but appeared (early on) to be trying for the home run play on every play. He runs a bit upright and (forgive the term) more open than other running backs. He has the speed, but his height and uprightness reduced his ability to squeeze through openings.
Martinek had flashes of good running last night, and then would run straight into a pile of defenders when a step or two adjustment of his line would have given him a better track through a seam. OL blocking wasn't terrific for him or Thomas, but still, I was agonizing at times because I could see lanes opening up a little off from his line at times.
Defensively, there was one play in particular where I think D'Imperio read the option play perfectly and practically took the handoff and ended up tackling both Norfolk State players. That alone shows the defense needed to get the timing down as the game progressed.
I think Lefeged gets the Polamalu award for being speed racer all over the field. He was often tackling someone at the line and then way downfield on the next play. Pretty impressive.
It was worrisome to see Norfolk State zing quite a few 20 yard plays with relative ease, but that seemed to go away as pressure on their QB caused plays to break down more and more.
I didn't see too many dings on the Rutgers side, which is good.
Anyone know where the coaches have hidden D'Antwan?

Lets bring to you the quick version of the story, at least in our minds. The Smith family just left the Sprint store, all getting brand new phones and putting Sprint's family locator service on their plan (which according to the first comment costs extra). Later that night, Mr. Smith decides to take a quick trip without the family, only to be gone for a few hours. Where did he go?
Well Mrs. Smith got worried but remembered about being able to locate any device using GPS and the software on their shiny new phones. Little did Mr. Smith know, that when he left the mistress's house, he never turned his phone off. Big oops.

Operation Birmingham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Operation Birmingham was a military operation of the Vietnam War in War Zone C, north of Saigon. The US 1st Infantry Division and the ARVN 5th Division conducted operations on the eastern flank of War Zone C. The goals were opening Route 13 from Saigon to the north and engaging the Viet Cong 9th Division. The Viet Cong successfully managed to withdraw beyond the Cambodian border, after having only 100 soldiers killed by US and South Vietnamese forces; along with that are 500 tons of weapons, ordnance, rice, salt and other foods seized by anti-communist forces.

"These photos represent bits and pieces of the Amarillo area," said Brent Cavanaugh, curator of the Southern Light Gallery. "We hope it gives people some new perspectives of the place where we live."
The exhibit, titled "Our Town: Amarillo," opens Monday and shows through March 14.
The gallery is located on the first floor of the Lynn Library on AC's Washington Street campus, 2200 S. Washington St.
The "Our Town: Amarillo" collection is the culmination of a three-year-long project of the Texas Photography Society.
From 2007 to 2009, AC hosted three workshops offered by the Texas Photographic Society as part of its "Our Town" initiative, which encourages residents of communities throughout the state to create photographic essays depicting their locale.
The exhibit, which was open to all photographers, features 36 photographs aimed at embodying the region's places, people and culture.
The works were taken by 22 photographers.
The images represent a wide array of photographic styles and techniques, Cavanaugh said.
Amarilloan Cody Perez has two photographs in the exhibit, "The Smoking Wheel" and "Ranch Under Moon." Both shots were take at the Cadillac Ranch at night.
Perez experimented with lighting techniques, and the cars appear to glow in his final images.
"I wanted to do something different," he said. "I want people to look at the Cadillac Ranch with a new perspective."
Terry Brandt's two entries feature familiar scenes from the area, including a grain elevator near Umbarger and a foggy morning northwest of Amarillo.
Brandt, who has pursued photography for about 15 years, primarily takes agricultural-related photographs.
"Hopefully, this exhibit will make people realize things about this area that they might not have noticed before," he said.
The collection will be judged by D. Clarke Evans and Nine Francois of the Texas Photographic Society.
The Southern Light Gallery exhibits photography shows year-round.

Why Not Refactor Home Pages
Why is refactoring a personal page different than refactoring any other page?
I'm raising the "what is an identity" question, but I think that any edit that messes directly with what an identity has to say about itself -- in a space that is easily recognizable as the social system's ceded self story space for that identity -- is morally reprehensible. The self story space is a rule by tradition, and its inviolability is a rule by extension. In the "real world" it might correspond to a living space or a mailbox. Just because it's publicly changeable doesn't mean the public should change it in any way that directly affects what the story's author meant. Suppose you live in a cardboard box on the street? Should random members of the public set fire to it because the street is public and they have lighters? Wiki is very egalitarian -- we
live in cardboard boxes on the street!
A further thought: you may be discomfited by the notion of a "rule by tradition" on
, but you can't escape history. People have memories; Wiki has a memory (possibly
flawed than an individual human's) however much one might wish it didn't. --
The importance of rules arising from tradition cannot be overstated around here. My big question would be: what's the relationship between our ownership of our cardboard boxes (which others can scribble on) and Ward's ownership of the street and/or city? --
I'm very uncertain of Ward's ownership of the Wiki. It's like saying Franklin, Jefferson and Adams owned the nation. The major difference is that Ward can voluntarily
this particular Wiki. (Others exist, and some might even get to the speed and minimalism of this one.) This, and the fact that external forces (suppose Ward goes bankrupt, God forbid) can destroy this Wiki are what keep Ward out of a god role.
If we're going to keep the "public street" analogy, we'd better clarify the correspondences: let's say the street is the wiki, the c2 Web server(s) are the city and the
is the county. That still leaves us some upward and downward expansion to find the point where the analogy becomes
ridiculous. --
I personally feel that even my home page "belongs" to Ward in some sense. He's not god but I hope he's not just the man in the truck early in the morning who hoses down the street and gives me an unwanted shower! He's the
of this party. We need to pay attention to that because:
it limits our own "property rights" greatly and
like any good party, the host sets the tone in certain ways.
Just because you can destroy something doesn't mean you own it. (And just because you can ruin something doesn't mean you have any right to it.)
The Wiki belongs to anyone sincere to the spirit of the Wiki. Indeed, if it weren't for our ownership, it wouldn't exist in the first place. --
For a *really* old view of Wiki as a public space, see
(May 1, 1995)
Interesting document; it appears that Ward has a very hands off attitude toward the experiment; he'd like suggestions for improving the tool and that's about it.
I think we have to assume that the owner of Wiki has gpl'd it to us, to screw up or make Utopian as we see fit. Which is, of course, the reason for all of the meta-discussion. If Ward just laid down the law, we wouldn't even be having this discussion, there would be nothing to discuss. Not that I didn't see your point about respect to the host, it just seems that the host has said "there ya go, go nuts." Our property rights are the same as in the real world: we all get together and decide what having "property rights" means. This is why I thought that rules-by-extension and rules-by-tradition exist on this Wiki. Some of the traditions probably started when the Wiki started (like the Y
ourName page) because they were obvious, or obvious at the time. The extensions
come about from experience in other social spaces, by analogy. If I could analogize something I'm doing on Wiki into a "real world situation" (like being at a party) and the analogy-action would get me punched in the face, then I might want to consider heavily whether I should do it on Wiki.
If an action I was taking on Wiki could be convincingly analogized as violence, then it would be a morally reprehensible action in my view. Defacing a home page analogizes to writing graffiti all over the neighbor's door at best, burning their house at worst. Violence, by any measure.
is why I think it shouldn't be done. I have a great deal of respect for Ward and C2 for what they've made available here, in no small part because they do not interfere with the evolution of the space, but their approach to the space leaves them out of the set of motives for wiki-citizen-behaviour. --
If Ward just laid down the law, we wouldn't even be having this discussion, there would be nothing to discuss.
I have laid down the law, as strongly as I can without destroying the effects I sought. See
I think the content of a
belongs to the owner of the homepage. He doesn't need to sign anything to protect it. Any message sent to him becomes his property. Friendly edits are welcome, but only he should delete or refactor. A homepage starts with some real personal information ("I am a ... at X
yCorporation" or an e-mail address or a Web page link), just writing "I was here" doesn't create a homepage and may be deleted eventually. If you see a homepage without C
ategoryHomePage, add it, as I do occasionally. Of course everything here belongs to Ward but this is a different kind of ownership. --
The only unasked for edit of a
I do is when I'm updating backlinks. That is, if someone has U
nitTests on a bookmark section of their homepage, I use
to change it to its new incarnation as
s. I've been assuming that people won't mind if I update their bookmarks instead of letting my changes rudely break them. Is this generally kosher with Wiki or am I unintentionally trespassing?
I personally am happy when people fix my bookmarks or correct my mis-spellings. --
Very little here belongs to Ward. See
is all right to delete if it remains stale, as often people leave material behind until the concerned party is satisfied with the conversation. Sometimes you will see an edit to improve the quality of someone else's namepage. Perhaps the target might enjoy this as an example of
, and all part of the fun.

The relationship of Papanicolaou (Pap) testing and cian visits to stage at diagnosis of cervical cancer was assessed by interviews with 149 women with invasive cervical cancer and 214 women with in situ cervical cancer. A significantly smaller percent of study subjects with invasive disease than in situ disease had at least one Pap test in the 3 years prior to diagnosis (age- and race-adjusted odds ratio: 3.38). The two groups did not differ in visits to a physician for other reasons during this period. Pap testing decreased with increasing age for both groups, but not physician visits. While 65% percent of the subjects with invasive disease aged between 65 and 79 years had never had a Pap test until diagnosis, 88% had seen a physician in the preced ing 3 years. Women with regional or distant invasive disease were least likely to have had Pap tests, and, within this group, those aged between 35 and 64 years were also least likely to have seen a physician. Strategies for early detection must reflect missed opportunities and the need to bring those not receiving care into the system.

Date set for murder trial
Published 05/12/2012 | 09:36
A WEST Limerick man charged with the murder of two women and two small children in Newcastle West over two years ago will go on trial next June.
John Geary (32) of Meadow Court, Newcastle West, is charged with killing his former partner, Sarah Hines ( 25), their five-month-old daughter Amy Hines, her three year old brother Reece Hines and family friend, 20year-old friend Alicia Brough on November 15, 2010.
All four were found stabbed to death at a house in Hazelgrove, Gortboy, Newcastle West.
Mr Geary had been expected to stand trial last November, but the case was adjourned. At the Central Criminal Court last week, a new trial date was set for June 17 next and Mr Geary was remanded in custody until that date.

Hi, how has everyone got on with mystery customers?, assuming youve served them and do you get anything for being particularly good?
2 weeks after I had my customer services training, i served the mystery customer, i think i did quite well because i got a shining star award and £10. How have other ppl done and what did u get for being gd?
The Infamous Mystery Customer
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
when I worked at Toby carvery they had 'mystery guests'- I was the first there to get 100%- woohoo- they let me choose a bottle of wine.
I've been unlucky and had the mysery shoppers twice at my work (they only come every 6 months or something and I only work in the hols). I got 68% both times which is considered pretty bad. I always thought it would be easy to spot them but apparntly not!!
Do you get told if you do badly with a mystery customer because we dont get told, its just the store gets a bad grade
We get loads of feedback either way and all the staff know about it (I've never been mystery shopped THANK GOD! but I know about it cos I've read reports left on notice board or they've been read out at staff meetings).
Never been mystery shopped.
Thank god! I'd fail lol
I've never served one yet as far as I know....
My boyfriend gets 100% nearly every time he gets mystery shopped
He gets £300 in high street vouchers each time
Last time though he got 96% and they gave him £100 in vouchers
I suspect that I've been mystery shopped several times, but I never hear any more of it.
There was one strange time when this woman was clearly watching everything I was doing, but she didn't say anything. She was in uniform, so I knew she worked for the store, but it was quite strange. She just loitered in the aisle for ages while I pretended she wasn't there, and then she grabbed some random people and asked them to ask me where something was. Then, when I'd shown them it, the original woman went "Well done, that was very good".
Totally bizarre.
I got 'mystery shopped' at McDonalds. If you can call it that... They have some outside company do the formal ones, but then the managers also visit the other stores in the area as like a mini mystery shop.
I unsuspectingly served the manager of Skegness's Maccies and my manager then pulled me aside and said Skeggy were low on staff that day and the manager had come to collect someone and he wanted me. So I guess I did good.
On the official one though, we were the worst Maccies in the country *Proud*. What an achievement. Luckily, I that was done before I started there and I was only there a couple of months.
Don't think it has happened to me haha. Hope it doesn't! Although I am pretty polite and that.
Dont think Ive ever been officially mystery shopped but theres definalty been a few times when I was convinced the customer was a ms! I guess some just really are too inquisitive and all that
that sounds like a strange way of doing it joanna!
I've done mystery shopping myself and the main thing they emphasise is that you act completely normal and like you are just shopping normally, it is hard sometimes when you have to observe loads of stuff but actually the service is just one part of a larger report. I usually have to ask a question to one person and take note of how they respond. If it is a large store I may have to ask one question in each department.
It sounds more like an internal check on you rather than an external 'mystery shop' per se.
I don't think I've ever served the mystery shopper, but some people had been messing round with name badges last month, and the mystery shopper was served by "McLovin"!

P.S That just got me told off at work for giggling when I should have been Ebaying. Grrr!
"Mclovin" thats in tescos yah? we heard about that, very funny!
I did a mystery shopping trip once, basically had to buy an item and report back on the state of the store, changing rooms and how well I was served by the staff. Had to count the visable staff, number serving on tills, remember names... too stressful for me! All I got was £10 and nothing back for what I bought.. but it was a very nice skirt... god I hope I never get Mystery Shopped, I've just started and I havent got a clue whats going on!
Thankfully I was never mystery shopped in the time I worked in retail.
god, when i worked in outfit i got mystery shopped twice on the same day.
In outfit, you have to ask everyone if they want an outfit card [ridiculous].
i didnt ask either, so got a really bad report.

A string of arson set fires put Los Angeles residents on edge over the holidays and caused millions in damage – and it all may have been because a man felt his mother was being mistreated.
German national Harry Burkhart, 24, was arrested early Monday morning driving a minivan in West Hollywood. Inside were fire starter sticks. Once he was in custody, police say, the fires ceased.
Sheriff Lee Baca called the suspect the "most dangerous arsonist in Los Angeles County that I can recall," according to the Associated Press.
Why would anyone set out to terrorize the city by torching cars and setting some 50 blazes that damaged structures, including the late Jim Morrison's former Laurel Canyon home?
While authorities don't yet have a definite motive, they say it appears Burkhart was outraged about his mother's pending deportation.
Dorothee Burkhart was arrested Dec. 28 on a provisional warrant from Germany, the AP reports. The arson spree began just after she was taken into federal custody.
During a court hearing Tuesday, Dorothee cried out for her son – and claimed he suffers from mental illness, the
Los Angeles Times reports.
"My first question is, where is my son?" she shouted, later telling the federal judge in broken English that her son "is mental ill." It was also revealed the arrest warrant from Germany relates to 19 fraud charges in her home country.
During a recent immigration hearing about her case, her son – who is seen in TV footage grinning, clad in black with his hair in a ponytail – ranted against the U.S., according to the Los Angeles Times.
An officer working on Dorothee's case saw footage of the suspected arsonist, recognized Burkhart, and contacted authorities, the AP reports. Burkhart, according to reports, has lived in Southern California for the past few years and is traveling on papers from Chechnya.
Police have stressed, however, that the investigation is not complete. "We are confident in our investigation, but we have a long way to go," Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Becks said.

Although the first use of pituitary in obstetrical practice was made, in England, but few papers dealing with its action have been published in English, while in Europe it has been so extensively used that a study of the large number of papers and cases now published enables one to formulate, with considerable precision, rules for its employment. This is especially true after one has given it, with success and failure, in one's own experience. This forms the justification for this paper. In 1895, Oliver and Schaefer, in their series of experiments with organ extracts, followed up their papers on the striking effects produced by the injection of extracts of the adrenal by showing that extracts of the pituitary also produced a rise in blood-pressure. In 1898, Howell showed that it was the posterior lobe which possessed this property. This was confirmed by Schaefer and Vincent, and in 1901 Schaefer

As the year 2000 draws closer, there's not much for typical computer owner to fear
Unless you've been hiding in a cave for the last two years, you've probably heard of the Year 2000 (or Y2K) problem. But do you know WHAT it is? Maybe you've been at a party, and some computer geek has tried to explain it to you but used terminology that lost you from the word "go." Well, keep reading. By the end of this article, you'll be able to explain this complex issue to your best friend with ease.
First, to understand what the Y2K problem is, you need to know what it ISN'T. Y2K is NOT the end of the world. There is no need to dig your bomb shelter or stock up on canned food or potable water (what is "potable" anyway?). Don't race out to buy generators and tomato plants. You'll be just fine. In fact, the worst thing about Y2K that I have seen thus far is the hype, fear, and panic created by media pundits and so-called experts. Remember, all it takes to be a Y2K consultant is a pocket protector and tape on your glasses.
So now that you're breathing easier, let's cut to the chase and explain this situation. Back in the old days (circa 1960), computers were very expensive. Taking up entire rooms, they required constant maintenance and a 24-hour staff just to do simple computations. Storing information was not easy. The more information you wanted to store, the more equipment you needed, increasing the cost. Scientists were always looking for shortcuts to save on computer memory and cost.
One of these shortcuts involved storing dates. If you break a date down into its numeric counterpart, you get eight numbers (ie. January 6, 1962 = 1/6/1962 = 01061962). The first two digits were used for the month, the second two digits for the day, and finally the last four digits for the year. Storing one date took "eight memory areas" in a computer. Storing a lot of dates took a lot of memory. Since memory wasn't cheap, one of the shortcuts scientists used was to knock off the first two digits of the year (the "19"), leaving the last two. So, from our date example above, the resulting number would have been "010662", taking up only 6 memory areas, a savings of 25%! The scientists were aware of what would happen in the year 2000, but after all, they thought, who would be using these same computers when the year 2000 came along?
What they had not figured on was the government's bizarre ways of saving money. Believe it or not, some of the same computers created in the 60's and 70's are still in use today in some very critical areas of government work.
So, exactly what WILL happen on January 1, 2000 to computers that store the year as two digits? It's really quite simple. All computer calculations based on dates will be incorrect. For instance, let's take the Social Security system. How does that computer know whether to send you a benefit check or not? By your age! And how does it calculate your age? It subtracts your "birth year" from the present year. So, if I was born in 1926, the computer would perform the following equation: 98 - 26 = 72.
When the year 2000 rolls around, the last two digits of the present year go from "99" to "00". So the above calculation would now read: 00 - 26 = -26 (definitely not eligible to receive Social Security!) Many people are worried that if the government doesn't fix the problem in their systems, they will stop receiving their checks. Well, it could happen, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Any companies with older computers that perform date calculations are susceptible to the Y2K problem. Most notable are banks, utilities, and, of course, the government. Trust me, any company with a profit motive will have the problems fixed before the turn of the century. It's either that or go out of business. The government, though, seems to be dragging its heels. But, then again, they don't have a profit motive...
So, what about your home PC? Chances are, unless your computer is more than five years old, you won't have any problems. But if you want to make sure, download one of the many programs from the Internet to check your PC. Fire up your Internet browser and head to:
Using a program from one of the above sites can help you determine if you need to worry or not.
Finally, let me state once again: There is no need to panic. Some of the world's computers will be affected, but not to the degree that doomsayers are predicting. So take an antacid, chill out, and choose to be a sane person on this topic. To quote a certain, bald, intense woman: "Stop the Madness!"
See you in Cyberspace!

Had booked the least expensive outside cabin (H) and was upgraded to a category C which was on the main (1st) deck. I always like the main deck and we were smack in the middle of the ship. Very stable place and it came in handy one night.
The ship overall was fine. Not the most elegant vessel out there but some nice public areas. For a large ship it seemed very intimate and the service overall excellent. We weren't going for the ship - we were going for the sights and boy did we luck out. Not one drop of rain the entire week. Glacier Bay in glorious technicolor, Ketchikan's Misty Fjords, Victoria, Juneau all wonderful. Even the dreaded Sitka tender problem wasn't one at all - no wait - no hassle. Best of all we made some wonderful friends at our assigned table. We were always the last out of the dining room. Great people and great weather a perfect combination.
Slight issues: gym area for yoga/Pilates way too small, hot chocolate not available most of the cruise (in Alaska!), wish they would adjust the schedule to spend more time in Ketchikan and arrive in Victoria earlier. Victoria was essentially closed when we arrived. Excursions through the ship were VERY expensive. We took one and loved it, but we were able to do a lot on out own. Production shows - talented cast - terrible shows.
Overall - We'd do Holland America again and felt we got a great value for the price we paid.

Day 49: This is one in a series of posts assessing key developments during Gov. Rick Snyder's self-imposed 182 days to chart a new course for Michigan by July 1. For earlier posts go to mlive.com/stateofchange.
School administrators say Gov. Rick Snyder's budget proposal would cut per-pupil funding by more than $700 per student in part by diverting nearly $900 million in restricted state school aid funding to community colleges and universities.
But the budget could also provide the political impetus to require school employees throughout Michigan to shoulder at least 20 percent of their health insurance premium.
An inspection of Snyder's budget by school analysts, moreover, finds that the state's school aid fund would lose some $200 million through the elimination of the Michigan Business Tax that now contributes a significant chunk to schools.
Add increases in retirement costs that represent $249 per pupil and the loss in state represents more than $700. Effective per-pupil funding would decline to 2003 levels.
"By raiding school coffers to pay colleges and universities, this move breaks faith with the promise made in 1994 under Proposal A," said William Mayes, executive director of the Michigan Association of School Administrators. "We value community colleges and universities, but they have alternative means to raise funds. K-12 schools do not."
"No sane society robs kindergartners to pay the tuition for colleges and universities," he said.
The current $7,316 minimum per-pupil grant was bolstered by a $170 addition in the fall using federal stimulus dollars. Snyder's budget discontinues that payment into 2012 and cuts another $300 per student on top of that.
The spending plan also eliminates grant funding to reduce class sizes, bilingual education and to districts with declining enrollments.
Budget Director John Nixon told lawmakers Thursday that the state simply couldn't afford to maintain the school aid fund, set up in the Proposal A school finance change, as a protected segregated fund anymore.
"When 60 percent of the (state's) revenue goes to the school aid fund, it's very hard to hold that piece harmless," Nixon said in his budget presentation. "We need to look at education in this state as an entire system, pre-K through universities."
Nixon said school districts could save some $300 million by capping their employee health contribution at 80 percent. Snyder's budget proposal adds back $300 million in 2013 to districts that contain employee benefit and other costs.
Employees would contribute 20 percent under a change in statute introduced by Sen. Mark Jansen, R-Grand Rapids. Jansen's bill would apply to colleges, local governments and state government as well. A separate proposal in the House would apply only to K-12, but it, too, seeks to also limit annual increases in the employer's share of health insurance costs.
"No amount of budget trimming or bake sales will fill a hole this deep," said William Miller, executive director for the Michigan Association of Intermediate School Administrators. "Cuts with no reform put schools in impossible situations. If you're going to put us in a hole, at least give us a rope and a ladder so we can dig ourselves out."

Understanding India, through Internships
hen Molly Teas was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal, she decided to see a bit of neighbouring India by train. Throughout the journey from Patna to Amritsar, not once did she turn a page in her paperback because she was fascinated by so many things—the amount of luggage people brought on board, the elaborate meals they'd prepared, and the immense curiosity of everyone who wanted to know all about America.
Teas has since visited India scores of times, most recently to promote the Passport to India programme in her capacity as senior advisor for education, US Department of State.
The initiative is part of a two-pronged strategy to further build Indo-US relations through people-to-people diplomacy, and equip the next generation of the American workforce with business language fluency in emerging markets. Toward this, the US Department of State is reaching out to partner with educational institutions and companies to promote study-abroad opportunities and internships.
The immediate milestone is modest—increase the number of American students in India from 3,384 as of 2011 to 15,000 in the next five years. By contrast, 104,000 Indians studied at US institutions last year.
Teas says India has always attracted a small band of Americans in the humanities, but there hasn't been a concerted effort to offer opportunities in other disciplines.
"Religion and history are critically important. But Passport to India aims to broaden the menu of options. We want to make sure that students in schools of business, medicine, public health and other fields will put India front and centre," she says.
The programme is funded entirely by the private sector. Some big names that have signed up include Infosys, Honeywell, Microsoft Research India (MSR India), Texas Instruments and Applied Materials. Existing internship programmes are listed by the US Department of State on Twitter and students can apply directly via the Passport to India Facebook page, a one-stop shop.
Nearly 70 domestic and international students work at Infosys each year under the company's paid internship programme, which covers airfare and accommodation. "For most global corporations today, at least 60 percent of the revenue is coming from outside the US. One of the major markets is India," says Kris Gopalakrishnan, co-chairman, Infosys. "This gives interns a perspective of working in a global company with headquarters in an emerging market."
In a globalised workplace, context is king. That's why Lenny An, who is pursing a master's degree in engineering and technology innovation management at Carnegie Mellon University, says he came to India. An wants to build a career in innovating for the bottom of the pyramid. "This internship has really opened my eyes to different levels of innovation," says An of his 11-week stint at Infosys.
Context is also why Margaret Young, an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan's School of Information, came to India. An intern at MSR India, Young is doing an ethnography of how youngsters in slums are using the Internet on their mobile phones. Another intern, John Rula, a PhD student at Northwestern University, is creating game-based, non-monetary incentives to promote technology use.
Nearly 120 interns from India and abroad work annually in nine research areas. Vidya Natampally, MSR India's senior director of strategy, says emerging market technology research is highly inter-disciplinary. In fact, Young says that is one of the draws—collaborating with students of sociology, cyber anthropology, and computer science.
LOCAL CONTEXT Lenny An from Carnegie Mellon, an intern at Infosys, says the internship has opened his eyes to diff erent levels of innovation
More US companies are finding value in early career exposure to emerging markets and are starting to offer internships at their India-based facilities. "If you don't know what's going to be happening in India, you're going to be handicapped," says Jonathan Bellamy, vice president, HR, UOP, a Honeywell company that launched a fully funded India internship programme this year.
"Normally the exchange of talent happens at the senior level. But here is a great opportunity for the next generation to interact with each other," says Ajay Kukreja, country director, HR, Honeywell India.
Business culture is another value-add. Technologies can be developed anywhere in the world, but interns say immersion in varied markets, even for a short while, is a differentiator. "A lot of the work is very similar to what I do with interns at Des Plaines [UOP's facility in Illinois]," says Daniel Spencer, a UOP intern at Gurgaon and a chemical engineering student at Michigan Technological University. "But this has been a great experience—learning to solve a unique set of [non-technical] challenges."
Educators say exposing students to India encourages them to see India and the world through a different lens. "Internships are an important didactic tool," says Aparna Wilder at the Center for Advanced Study of India, University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). That's what UPenn's Sam Ware and Sindhuri Nandhakumar learnt this summer at Aravind Eye Hospital in Madurai. "With US healthcare costs increasing, it made me think about which efficiencies at Aravind can be replicated," says Ware, referring to the hospital's affordable services.
Nandhakumar, a political science major, says her interest was in studying Aravind's community outreach to impoverished patients. "The motto here is work is your daily quota for serving the world," she says.

By Kalin Thomas Contributing Writer | 1/18/2013, 12:01 p.m.
ATLANTA – As the nation prepares to honor America's peace prophet Martin Luther King Jr., the organization King co-founded is advancing an anti-violence program called "Stop the Violence" intended to stem the tide of violence against and among young people.
The latest project of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's anti-violence campaign is "Justice For Girls," a program designed to address the sex trafficking of young girls.
The sexual exploitation of children is the third largest moneymaker for organized crime in the U.S., SCLC officials say, and Atlanta is one of the nation's top cities for sex trafficking.
"I don't think people realize that sex trafficking is a form of violence," said Stop The Violence director Cathelean Steele.
Steele, who is married to SCLC chief executive office Charles Steele, said she was stunned when she read about how prolific sex trafficking is in Atlanta and throughout the nation.
"I read about sex trafficking in Essence, and it was so shocking that I couldn't sleep at night," she said. "So I started researching it and decided we need to do something."
Troubled by such statistics, state and local elected officials joined Steele and more than 50 community activists at a recent SCLC stakeholder event to devise a plan to reduce human trafficking in Atlanta.
Lisa Williams, founder and director of Living Waters for Girls – a therapeutic refuge for sex-trafficked girls – said community stakeholders must step up to stop human trafficking in metro Atlanta.
"There are some 300,000 children at risk in the United States. And many of them are being charged with prostitution while the predators go free," she said. "These are our daughters. You cannot know about this issue and do nothing about it."
State Rep. Tyrone Brooks, president of the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials (GABEO), pledged to work with other black leaders to fight the problem.
"GABEO, NAACP, SCLC, Rainbow Push and others ought to be collaborating and working together on this issue," he said. "We can't dialogue it away, we have to get in there and make it go away."
State Sen. Donzella James agreed, and pledged to continue to work with activists to fight the problem.
James, who was recently appointed to the Georgia Human Trafficking Joint Study Committee, said state legislation she introduced and helped pass makes it a felony to pimp or pander children ages 18 and under. Abusers now can get up to 20 years in prison, she said.
Several community stakeholders said they were excited about the new platform and new ways they can work with the SCLC.
"We have a reach of over 300 individuals and organizations that are already known to be effective with violence prevention, so we want the SCLC to join us to fill in the gap regarding girls and sex trafficking," said Dr. James Griffin Jr., chair of the Metropolitan Atlanta Violence Prevention Partnership.
Atlanta Board of Education member Brenda Muhammad said she is glad to see the SCLC step up and step out on the issue.

Accepted for publication December 3, 2013.
The (slightly adapted) title for this opinion piece comes from a commentary by Sebastian Kraemer.1 Fifty years on from the Platt Report2 that influenced the way we work in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, Kraemer edited a paper given by the late Sydney Brandon in 1986 at the 20th anniversary Conference of the National Association for the Welfare of Children in Hospital (now Action for Sick Children a Children's Healthcare Charity in the United Kingdom; http://actionforsickchildren.org.uk/). This paper traced the history of increasing interest in children's welfare and parental presence in hospitals, a pathway described by Davies3 as one from exclusion, to toleration and parental participation in the care of the hospitalized child. "What seemed normal 50 years ago would now be regarded as naive, yet how will we view current practice 50 years hence"?1(p177) What I would like to argue here is that there will be a significant difference in the "before and after stories" if we were to trace a similar history in the care of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer in hospital. Unlike the reporting of the care of hospitalized children that has focused in the main on parents' perspectives,4 over the next 50 years the voice of the young person will dominate with respect to patient experience, service development, delivery, and evaluation5 (https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/216852/CYP-report.pdf).
Why, because if we are to provide care that really meets the needs of AYAs hospitalized in the 21st century, we must now focus all our efforts on seeking their perspectives to inform practice.3 The professional community that delivers care to AYAs is of the shared opinion that there is an overwhelming need to know what age-appropriate care looks like, who delivers it, where it is delivered, what aspects of delivery make a difference to outcome and patient experience, and how we best meet the needs of hospitalized AYAs and their family members/friends.6 Research must take center stage if we are to find answers to these questions, and AYAs must be active in that process because they are the experts on their care, have something salient to contribute to the questions we might ask, will improve the relevance of our research, will improve the quality of the research process, can contribute to a more valid interpretation of results, can improve how research is reported and disseminated, and can take a role in ensuring research has an impact and influences change.
How, well there are no absolute ways to approach the question, how far should I involve AYAs in my research? The simple answer is that they can be involved at any stage: it is about opening up opportunities to them for meaningful participation based on their own realities and enabling them to have a real impact on the way their care is managed and delivered.7 It is about building and sustaining a culture of participation in organizations and facilitating ongoing dialogue with young people rather than imposing fixed structures. Involving AYAs may mean taking risks and making mistakes and, I would argue, be part of the process of getting it right. I thought in 2008 that "the tide may well be turning,"8(p225) and I am now even more certain, by what we bear witness to in published work and journals such as Cancer Nursing, that there is an increasing presence of the voice of AYAs.
So, unlike the years post Platt, where we relied on identifying important aspects of care from the perspective of parents as proxies for AYAs, we now have both policy and practice that will enable us to research young people's experiences of care. In answer to the question: what is it really like to be a young person, in our hospital, at this moment? We can now be confident in saying: I don't know, but I know who to ask.

(Reuters) - Russia believes Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi should quit and could help broker his departure, a senior Russian official said on Friday in an important boost to NATO powers bent on ending his 41-year rule.
It was a striking change in tone from Kremlin criticism of Western air strikes in Libya officially intended to protect civilians in a civil war but effectively taking the side of rebels seeking Gaddafi's removal and democratic change.
NATO said it was preparing to deploy attack helicopters over the Arab North African state for the first time to add to the pressure on Gaddafi's forces on the ground.
But his security forces demonstrated once again that they are far from a spent force, launching rocket attacks overnight on the rebel-held town of Zintan and fighting insurgents on the outskirts of the city of Misrata.
The Russian mediation offer was announced on the sidelines of the Group of Eight summit in Deauville, France, where Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was among the heads of state in attendance.
"Colonel Gaddafi has deprived himself of legitimacy with his actions. We should help him leave," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in Deauville.
He said Russia would use its dialogue with the Libyan authorities to "help Mr Gaddafi take the right decision."
Earlier, U.S. President Barack Obama said he had agreed with French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy that the only acceptable outcome was for Gaddafi to go. "We are joined in resolve to finish the job," he said.
A NATO-led coalition led by France and Britain has been bombing Libya since March, under a U.N. mandate to protect civilians caught up in a battle with rebel forces intent on ending Gaddafi's 41-year rule.
But the rebels' advance toward Tripoli has been checked hundreds of km (miles) short of their goal, creating a quandary for Western powers who want a quick outcome in Libya but also to avoid getting embroiled in another Middle Eastern conflict by putting troops on the ground.
Britain and France have tried to help break the deadlock by agreeing to deploy attack helicopters over Libya. They will be able to give close ground support to rebel forces, though they are also at greater risk of being shot down.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said in Deauville that NATO's war in Libya was entering a new phase and that the deployment of British helicopters would turn up the pressure on the Libyan leader.
Gaddafi has denied attacking civilians, saying that his forces were forced to act against armed criminal gangs and al Qaeda militants. He says the NATO intervention is an act of colonial aggression aimed at grabbing Libya's bountiful oil.
There was skepticism that Gaddafi would agree to step aside as part of any negotiated settlement, even with Russia now joining calls for his departure.
"Knowing his state of mind, I don't think he is going to step down... The positions are still very far apart (between the rebels and Tripoli)," Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa said on the sidelines of the G8 summit.
Previous attempts at mediation -- by the African Union, Turkey and the United Nations -- have also foundered on Gaddafi's refusal to leave and the rebels' refusal to accept anything less.
"I don't see a negotiated settlement having much traction at this stage. Gaddafi still doesn't seem the type to leave the country and the opposition has no incentive to cut a deal," said Henry Smith, a Libya analyst with Control Risks.
Gaddafi's prime minister, Al-Baghdadi Ali Al-Mahmoudi, said on Wednesday Libya was ready for a ceasefire, but Gaddafi's departure was not up for discussion.
"The leader Muammar Gaddafi is the leader of the Libyan people; he decides what the Libyan people think. He is in the hearts of the Libyan people," the prime minister said.
Rebel-held Misrata, Libya's third-biggest city and scene of some of the fiercest battles in the three-month-old conflict, was hit by a second day of heavy fighting on its western outskirts.
A Reuters reporter said he could see white puffs of smoke and dust from where mortars fired by pro-Gaddafi forces were landing.
The insurgents responded by firing back with rockets and heavy machine guns, shouting "Allahu Akbar!" (God is Greatest) after each volley.
Doctors at Misrata's hospital said three rebels were killed and 16 wounded in the fighting on Friday.
"We are being attacked from all sides with rockets, RPGs (rocket-propelled grenades) and mortars," said Faraj al-Mistiri, 36, an insurgent. "They are trying their hardest to get back into Misrata," he said.
The World Health Organization said the fighting in Misrata had been killing an estimated 12 people a day, though casualties had declined after fighting eased in the past week.
The WHO did not give a total figure, but its daily estimate would mean a total of about 925 killed over the 77 days of intense fighting in Misrata.
Gaddafi's forces intensified their attacks too on the town of Zintan, part of a chain of mountain-top settlements in the Western Mountains, near Libya's border with Tunisia, where rebels have been holding off assaults for months.
A foreign doctor in Zintan, about 150 km southwest of Tripoli, said the town came under intense rocket fire overnight from pro-Gaddafi forces positioned to the east.
"There must have been about a hundred (strikes). I wasn't counting, but there were four or five rockets every half an hour or 15 minutes," Anja Wolz of Doctors Without Borders said by telephone.
Wolz said it was a "miracle" no one had been seriously hurt. She said Zintan's hospital was relocating to Jadu, another rebel-held town about 18 km (11 miles) west of Zintan.
"Zintan is emptying, people are leaving," she said.
