Moscow - Eighth-seeded Andreas Seppi of Italy rallied to beat Igor Andreev 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4) while his fellow Italian Roberta Vinci, seeded seventh, was upset by Vera Dushevina in the first round of the Kremlin Cup on Monday.
Andreev, who won his hometown event in 2005, broke twice to win the first set. But Seppi, ranked 53rd, made one break in the second set and one more early in the third to serve for the match at 1-1 and 5-4 up. But the Russian broke back to force a tiebreaker.
"A tiebreaker is always a lottery," said Andreev. "I made a couple of mistakes, then narrowed the gap to 5-4 down but luck was on his side."
Andreev, who reached a career high ranking of 18 in 2008, suffers from pain in his knees and has dropped to No 115 this season. He will decide his future in tennis after a checkup in Germany later this year.
"You cannot beat anyone playing on one leg," he said. Andreev hasn't reach a quarter-final this season.
Dushevina rallied from 4-0 down in the first set and from 4-2 down in the second, winning four consecutive games to wrap up the match.
"It was a tough match and I was trailing in both sets," Dushevina said. "But I managed to turn my luck."
Earlier, Kaia Kanepi of Estonia defeated Italy's Sara Errani 6-0, 7-5 on her debut at the tournament.
In the men's opener, Teymuraz Gabashvili of Russia advanced to the second round with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Karol Beck of Slovakia.
Elsewhere, Pere Riba of Spain ousted Andreas Haider-Maurer of Austria, 6-2, 6-7 (1), 6-3, while Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan beat Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic 7-6 (5), 7-5.
Janko Tipsarevic, runner-up in 2009, heads the men's draw of the 22nd edition of the event. Vera Zvonareva, who won in 2008, tops the women's field.
Zvonareva is among the seven players who have already qualified for next week's season-ending WTA Tour championships in Istanbul. Second-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska, who won the China Open in Beijing a week ago for her second straight title and third of the season, needs to win just one match in Moscow to secure the last spot in the championships.
Third-seeded Marion Bartoli, who beat Samantha Stosur in the Japan Open final on Sunday, also has a slim chance of qualifying if she wins in Moscow and Radwanska loses her opener.
Results on Monday from the Kremlin Cup, a $1.446 million ATP and WTA Tour tournament on indoor hard courts at the Olympic Indoor Stadium (seedings in parentheses):

Mason helps Flyers even series with Rangers
PHILADELPHIA -- Steve Mason stopped 37 shots in his first start of the series, Matt Read and Jakub Voracek scored and the Philadelphia Flyers evened the first-round matchup with a 2-1 win over the New York Rangers in Game 4 Friday night.
Ray Emery started the first three games for Mason, who was out with an upper-body injury. Mason played the final 7 minutes, 15 seconds in a 4-1 loss Tuesday night.
Mason was just getting warmed up. He played perhaps his best game of the season, shutting down a Rangers team that pressured him with shots all game. He was a wall in the final tense minutes when the Rangers pulled goalie Henrik Lundqvist for the extra attacker.
Dominic Moore scored for the Rangers.
Game 5 is Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
- Colorado's Semyon Varlamov, Tampa Bay's Ben Bishop, and Boston's Tuukka Rask are finalists for the Vezina Trophy, given to the NHL's top goalie.
The voting for the award was conducted among the league's 30 general managers, and the finalists were announced Friday.
The winner will be revealed at the NHL's awards banquet June 24.
Varlamov earned a league-best 41 wins, breaking Avalanche coach Patrick Roy's club record for most wins in a season. He went 7-1-1 when facing 40 or more shots.
Bishop won a Lightning-record 37 games and set a franchise mark with a .924 save percentage.
Rask had 36 wins and helped the Bruins capture their first Presidents' Trophy since 1990 as the NHL's top team. He finished first with seven shutouts and was second with a .930 save percentage.

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — If you live on or near the Florida Atlantic University campus in East Boca, don't panic tomorrow (Thursday) if you hear sirens or other emergency-related sounds. The school plans to test its emergency system.
According to FAU:
Florida Atlantic University is scheduled to test all components of the FAU Alert system the afternoon of Thursday, Feb. 28. The FAU Alert system is designed to play a key role in keeping FAU's students, faculty, staff and campus visitors safe during emergency situations.
At approximately 2:20 p.m., the emergency siren and PA system will be activated on FAU's Boca Raton campus, 777 Glades Road, as well as at FAU's John D. MacArthur campus, 5353 Parkside Drive in Jupiter, and at FAU's Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in Fort Pierce. During this test, a loud siren sound and a spoken message will be heard across campus, as well as in neighborhoods and business areas located near the campuses. The indoor notification system for Glades Park and Heritage Park towers at FAU's Boca Raton campus will also be tested.
Additionally, FAU's university-wide email, telephone alert, web alert and text messaging will be tested that afternoon. FAU will also test its toll-free emergency hotline phone number – 1-888-8FAU-OWL (8328-695).

Tutorial: Authoring Custom Effects
Many users may not be aware that it is possible to use SWiSH Max4 to author custom effects such as the one shown below. A custom effect can be based on any of the ten core effects. Custom effects use a Custom interface to offer a specialized user interface that is easier to use than the underlying core effect interface tabs.
The Custom interface for the "Rainbow bulge" effect is shown below. This exposes five parameters instead of the 30+ parameters associated with the underlying Transform effect.
An authored effect can support up to nine Custom parameters. If more control is needed, the original parameters associated with the core effect can be presented in additional tabs.
The sample effect, "Rainbow bulge", has five custom parameters. In this example, the parameters associated with the core effect (Transform) have been hidden from the end user.
The remainder of this article demonstrates how the above effect was authored. Once understood, the technique can be applied to allow authoring of a virtually unlimited number of custom effects.
Enable Authoring
By default, effect authoring is not enabled. To enable effect authoring use the Preferences panel (menu item Tools | Preferences | Effects) and set the checkbox Allow effect authoring. Note that effect authoring is not possible with the SWiSH miniMax range of products.
While the panel is open use the Specify additional folder option to specify the folder where you intend to save the authored effects. This option allows the specified folder to be searched for effect files (.sfx). Effect files and any sub folders containing effect files will be listed in the various effect menus when this option is enabled.
The additional folder option is provided as it is not possible to save authored effects directly to the main effects folder in Vista and Windows 7.
The main effects folder is normally located in C:\Program Files\SWiSH Max4\effects or C:\Program Files (x86)\SWiSH Max4\effects on 64 bit systems. Administrator permission is required to save files to those folders.
Author Effect
To author an effect, follow the normal process of applying an effect to an object. Select an effect that you want to modify (re-author) or choose one of the core effects. A custom effect can be based on any of the ten core effects. Many of the core effects will cause multiple tabs to be displayed in the Effects panel. The tabs associated with each of the core effects is shown in italics.
- Transform: Transforms, Cascade
- Squeeze: Squeeze, Transforms, Cascade
- Alternate: Alternate, Transforms, Cascade
- Snake: Snake, Transforms, Cascade
- Explode: Explode, Camera, Cascade
- 3D Spin: 3D Spin, Camera, Cascade
- 3D Wave: 3D Wave, Camera, Cascade
- Vortex: Vortex, Camera, Cascade
- Wave: Wave
- Typewriter: Typewriter
Motion and Easing tabs are available for all effects. These tabs can be hidden or displayed by using the << or >> button.
To author a new effect, rename the effect (New Effect in the sample image) and check the Author checkbox. This will cause the additional tabs to be displayed including the Author and Custom tabs. If desired, the default number of frames can also be altered to better suit the final effect that is authored.
The Author tab allows up to nine user configurable parameters to be defined. Once defined these parameters appear within the Custom tab. The columns used by each parameter are described below:
Prompt: Defines the description that is presented to the end user in the Custom tab.
Variable: The end user enters values for each prompt shown in the Custom tab. The value entered is saved to the associated variable. The variable is then used to calculate values that are used in other effect tabs.
Type: One of Edit, Check, Slider or Color. This defines the type of interface that is presented to the user in the Custom tab. Edit is a standard edit box, Check is a checkbox that returns a value of 0 for false or 1 for true. Slider allows the user to select a value using the slider or associated edit box. Color allows the user to select a color using a color swatch.
Min/Max: These columns allow maximum and minimum values to be defined if the Slider type is chosen.
The Only show the "Custom" page checkbox will cause the underlying core effect and associated tabs to be hidden when the Author checkbox is unchecked. Using this option will minimize the parameters that are presented to the user. When this option is selected, the Custom tab will appear as a single page or as a tab if the Motion and Easing tabs have been enabled with the >> button.
Once the Author tab has been filled out, select the Custom tab and enter reasonable values for the parameters that are presented. When the effect is saved, these values become the default effect values.
Formulas based on the defined variables can then be entered into any field assoicated with the underlying core effect. All fields in the core effect tabs can be configured to have a calculated value. A calculated value is a value derived from a formula consiting of numerical constants, variables and standard mathematical symbols + – / * etc.
Note: the Motion and Easing tabs cannot have formulas entered as these are not "core effect" tabs.
To use a calculated value, instead a numeric value, right click on the field and enter the forumla to be calculated. In the case of the image below, the formula entered was the single variable "mz".
Note: forumlas can only be entered if the Author checkbox is checked and the user right clicks on the edit box for the item. Once the forumla has been enterd, the item will display the current calculated value. The calcuated value is shown in gray indicating that direct user entry is not possible. If the forumula contains an error (invalid symbol, undefined variable etc) it will evaluate as 0.
For example: 100+mz/2 is a valid formula. If mz is set to 50 in the Custom panel, then the formula would result in a calculated value of 125 (100+50/2). To enter the formula, right click on the desired edit box then enter 100+mz/2.
Using the Rainbow bulge effect as an example, the Author, Custom, Transforms and Cascade tabs are shown below:
As the Rainbow bulge effect is based on the Transform core effect, the Transforms and Cascade tabs are shown. Custom effects based on a different core effect will show a different tabs depending on the chosen effect.
As can be seen from the images above, the Custom tab displays the parameters that are defined within the Author tab. The Custom tab becomes the primary user interface for the effect. Values entered by a user in the Custom tab are written to the variables defined with the Author tab. For example, if the user enters a value for "Zoom" in the custom tab, the value is saved in the variable "mz".
The Transforms tab has some items grayed out. The grayed items have had formulas entered in place of normal numeric values. The formulas entered for each of the items is shown below in italics:
- Middle Spacing: ms
- Middle Scale: mz
- Start Color: c1
- Middle Color: c2
- End Color: c3
The Cascade tab has had the At start and At end values changed from the default values to Repeating. If desired, calculated values could be entered for any item in the Cascade tab. However, in this example, no calculated values were used in this tab.
Once the effect has been authored and tested, it can be saved for re-use.
Saving the Authored Effect
Consider where the Authored Effect is to be saved.
As stated previously, Authored effects cannot be saved directly to the main effect folder. However, a second effects location can be defined in the Preferences panel. Once defined, the this location is searched and listed in the effects browser panel and other effect menus.
Personally, I divide my authored effects into category sub folders similar to those used by Max. My categories are: Appear, Disappear, Looping, One off and Return to start.
The category sub folders are located in a folder named Authored which is a sub folder of the folder specified in the Preferences panel.
This allows all of my effects to be grouped in the one location and still be sorted according to category. (See the effects panel image). Note that sub folders or only listed if they containing .sfx files.
For example, if the folder defined in the preferences panel is:
C:\Users\jon\AppData\Roaming\SWiSH Max4\effects
I create my category sub folders in
C:\Users\jon\AppData\Roaming\SWiSH Max4\effects\Authored
Once the save location is known, use the button to save the effect file. This causes a .sfx file to be created with the name specified in the Effect panel.
For example, "Rainbow bulge.sfx"
For a preview of the effect to appear when the effects browser panel is used, create a movie that demonstrates the effect and save the correponding .swf file using File | Export | SWF…
Save the .swf file with the exact same name as the effect. Save the .swf file in the same folder as the .sfx file.
For example, "Rainbow bulge.swf"
After saving the files, select the effects browser panel and press the F5 button to refresh the tree structure.
The sample effect Rainbow bulge can be downloaded from here. If you wish to use this effect with the effects that are currently supplied with Max4 (or miniMax4) , copy the .sfx and .swf files in the zip file to: C:\Program Files\SWiSH Max4\effects\Looping continuously or C:\Program Files (x86)\SWiSH Max4\effects\Looping continuously on 64 bit systems. You will need administrator permission to copy this file.

Don't know if it relates to the problem but this code is quite fragile.
It depends upon whether $content completely fits into the operating
systems pipe buffer. In your program the print $wtr or the close $wtr
statements may infinitely block if $content is too large.
To illustrate that try this:
perl -e 'pipe my ($r, $w) or die "pipe: $!\n"; print $w "x"x64000;
warn "printed\n"; close $w;'
Here a pipe is created and written to but never read from. This example
succeeds on my linux box. If 64000 is raised to 69000 the "print $w"
succeeds and I see the output of warn(). But the process never ends. It
is blocked in the close() operation. If the buffer length is raised a
bit further to 70000 I don't even see the warning. The process is
blocked in the print() operation. The pipe buffer size depends upon the

Jill Scott Light of the Sun Listening Session & Interview with Frank Ski
Jill Scott was in Atlanta last night (6/20) premiering a few songs off of her upcoming album Light of the Sun, and for an EXCLUSIVE sit down with V103's Morning Show Host Frank Ski. A stunning "medium-thick" Jill opened up about BEing a new mom, the rise and fall of her marriage, and of course about her new album, which hits stores and iTunes today!
I've always BEen a huge Jill fan! She's the epitome of hip hop wrapped in the BEautiful sound of real feel good music. I like that Jill is still making music that speaks to our hearts and souls…and of course to a few body parts too. The songs that were previewed varied from up-tempo joints featuring Eve & even Paul Wall…all the way to classic Jill poems and songs that ooze out expression and feeling. This is definitely an album to heavily keep in the iPod rotation…go ahead and step your SEXY up!!!
Rapper Wale even came through to show some love for Jill & to put in an immediate bid to do a song with her…which he said isn't laid down yet, but he has the track already done in his heart… For more from last night's interview visit http://www.Freddyo.com or visit V103's SITE

ATHENS, Greece - John Magera tried not to let his disappointment show.
But that was practically as tough for the U.S. archer as firing arrows through the treacherous winds Saturday at historic Panathinaiko Stadium.
The end result for Magera and the United States men was a fourth-place finish after back-to-back, excruciatingly close defeats in the scorching 100-degree sun to Chinese Taipei and Ukraine.
Magera felt particularly bad because of his final shot in the semifinal against Taipei, scoring only a 6 out of 10, after 9s on his previous two shots. That turned out to be pivotal when minutes later Taipei won by just 244-243.
"Nobody likes to lose," said Magera, the first-time Olympian at 34 who grew up learning how to shoot a bow and arrow in West Texas. "It's too bad that we had to finish like this because my hat's off to my teammates. They shot very well. This just has to be a learning experience for me."
South Korea wound up beating Taipei easily in the gold-medal match, while Ukraine took the bronze after edging the Americans, 237-235, with a bull's-eye on the final shot.
Earlier in the day, the U.S. men had put themselves in medal contention by defeating Sweden and top-seeded Italy. Magera shot three 10s in both of those victories, shooting between veterans Butch Johnson and Vic Wunderle in the team format.
When the swirling breezes picked up in the stadium's tight bowl during the afternoon heat, though, Magera had a little more trouble adjusting than his teammates.
"These winds were just unbelievably wicked, though they were for everybody," said Magera, now a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wildlife refuge manager in Illinois. "We were aiming all over the target. One second before shooting you're dead-on, then the next second you're three or four circles out. You shoot a good shot, then you see the wind blow it from a 10 to an 8 or worse.
"We tried our best, but we just never really brought our 'A' game today."
Wunderle, like Johnson a past Olympic medalist, recalled having won both his previous medals after prevailing in tight, one-point matches. This time it swung the other way.
He was the one feeling more responsible after the loss to Ukraine. Shooting last, he had scores of 9-8-8, which hurt more after losing by just two points.
"I'm disappointed we didn't medal," Wunderle said. "We just came up a couple of arrows short."
The U.S. men had a small but excited section of fans on their side, chanting "U-S-A" on many occasions. That contingent included Magera's mother, Deanna Stocker, who made the long trip here from Afton, which is 70 miles east of Lubbock, as well as his wife, Karin, and brother, Jim.
"Everyone in our family is obviously proud of John," said Stocker, whose parents live in Umbarger with more cousins scattered throughout Randall County and the Amarillo-Canyon area. "He and Jim were always shooting bows and arrows when they were young. John is one who, when he decides to do something, he does it well.
"He studies and practices whenever he can.
"I'm sure a lot of people back in Texas have been keeping up with this because we're kin to half the people in Canyon and just about everybody west of there."
Stocker, retired from working for the city of Lubbock's building services department, said the experience of seeing her son in the Olympics was something she never expected. Magera never had competed in the sport until enrolling his kids in a Junior Olympic program last year.
"I just never thought he would try for it, because he's always so busy with his job," Stocker said. "But the wildlife people have been great about it. And coming here to see it has been just great."

Caring and compassionate doctor. Great at diagnosing things first time.
I have known Dr. Gibson for over 20 years. If you want a doctor who cares for his patients then you have found the best. He sincerly cares for each and every one of them. He has been like a family member and I would not want anothe doctor caring for me. If he says something is wrong, then you can take it to the bank.
Dr. Gibson is exceptional. He takes time to listen to you and genuinely cares about you. He cares about your long term health rather than a quick fix. I trust Dr. Gibson completely and highly recommend him.
I researched many providers, as I have worked a long time in the healthcare field and am well aware all doctors are NOT the same. Since a PCP is where every pt starts when having problems, I am a strrong believer in getting one that is knowledgeable, easy to reach, and that listens. Heck with this doc I even get a bedside manner! Dr Gibson spends ample time and gets a very comprehensive history. His staff is professional and seem to care about what they do. So many docs I see are burnt out in the stressful field and difficult environment of medicine, but Dr G seems to still care as much as any doc I have every had. I would absolutely recommend him without reservation.
Absolutely a patient caring doctor. He actually cares about all your problems and wants to help you. I love that about Him. That he takes time to listen to not only the one things you scheduled for the appointment but anything that may be a problem that he can help with. He is laid back and reminds me a lot of a country doctor, one that is Very knowledgeable and caring and gets to know you. If you like the stuffy uncaring doctor, then Doctor Gibson isn't for you, cause he cares.
I have been in Dr. Gibson's care for 15 years. He is the ONLY doctor I have had that values my input. He understands that patients dealing with long term diseases get to know their bodies and symptoms. I truly feel that we are a team in managing my healthcare. He's tough when he needs to be, but always in that great soft-spoken bedside manner. I have recommended him to several friends and family members. Top notch doc and staff!
First time I went, he was the best I'd ever seen. Been seeing him for years... still the best. I've recommended him to several friends and family. They all agree. I'll never change.
he is the best dr i have ever gone to. he not in a hurry to go running out the door like other drs. he leaves when you are through talking. like is said he is the best, there needs to be more drs like him.
Dr. Gibson and his staff are exceptional when it comes to patients and their care. Dr. Gibson takes the time to listen, ask questions and explain things. He is professional, cordial and very thorough. I was amazed at how much time he spent with me on my first initial visit - something I haven't experienced since childhood.I would definitely recommend him.

Supermarkets posted strong sales in cookware/bakeware during the recession; now the challenge is to keep the cook-at-home momentum going
Value, convenience and product uniqueness are familiar criteria for supermarket buyers scanning the exhibit floor for new products during the final days this week of the 2010 International Housewares Show in Chicago. This year, however, such buying criteria for housewares takes on added meaning given expectations that consumers' shopping habits may have permanently changed due to the severity of the recession that began in 2007 and its lingering effects.

Er, kind of a mixed metaphor about the tsunami and the thimble but I'm so riled by this that I can't think straight.
Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to hold back a Tsunami with a thimble.
Of course the "registered dietician" they have on spouts the same ol' same ol' until the very end when she says she lost 30 lbs eating meat and butter.
Er, kind of a mixed metaphor about the tsunami and the thimble but I'm so riled by this that I can't think straight.
Dave, enough thimbles of water can make a tsunami.
"Exercise more...." Yeah, right, another CW.
At least she put it out there, meat, butter, and veggies. Maybe she's a closet Primal.

His data is also incomplete. While vegetarians are usually, indeed, lighter of weight, their longetivity is no greater once corrected for other lifestyle matters like smoking. And India, a vegetarian nation if there ever was one, has a relatively high death rate due to CHD, after correcting for adequate calories, i.e., not being a poor Indian but middle and upper class.
Sorry, I just can't get on the PC band wagon that the billboard offends overweight women. By not pointing out that we see what your weight is is only enablement. When I walk by a blob on the beach tanning him/her self, what do I think? "Oh, there's an angel fish?" Not.

Re: Battery Continually loses its charge--this is my 4th Nook replacementbklvr896 May 20, 2012 5:53 PM (in response to pjhiker)

What is wrong with the batteries on Nook Color? What a waste of $250.00 plus warranty. I have probably read a total of 6 books. One Nook just quit altogether. Second, third - battery discharged at a rapid rate down to zero charge and the Nook was not even turned on. The WII has been turned off in all instances. If there is no fix for this B&N needs to tell it's customers. Yesterday, the Nook was charged to 100%. Six hours later when I went to read a book the Nook didn't even have enough power to turn it on. Forget Customer Service---you might as well be talking to a brick wall. They don't know either.
Not sure why you are having so many issues. I've had my NookColor for about 8 months (it was a certified pre-owned one) and I've had nary a problem with it. I leave the WiFi on almost all the time and I still get about 8 hours with it, depending on what I'm doing. And while there are reports of people with issues with battery charge, it's definitely not a universal or apparently significant problems. If it were a significant problem happening to a lot of users, you can bet there's be hundreds + posts on the boards.
Do you have any Apps installed, maybe one is running continually in the background causing the problem?
Re: Battery Continually loses its charge--this is my 4th Nook replacementpjhiker May 21, 2012 3:20 AM (in response to bklvr896)
You certainly are lucky is all I can say. I have never downloaded an app or know how to put one to use. The most I ever got in reading time was 5 hours. I turn off the Nook with the on/off button (upper left) so I don't see how an app could be running. Do apps run even if the Nook is completely turned OFF? I'm not convinced that many people are not disappointed and frustrated over the battery on this Nook...and it can't even be changed! So I will keep trying to find an answer, and hoping there may be a class action suit filed. My Nook is useless.
Re: Battery Continually loses its charge--this is my 4th Nook replacementSusanStearns Sep 5, 2012 5:29 PM (in response to bklvr896)
I have recently been having the same problems with my battery. It used to stay charged for a long time, but now barely makes it a day, with only 2-3 hours reading time. Then it won't turn on because of low battery power. Have had it a little more than one year.
Wondering how much the battery costs to replace? And the time it takes to get it returned, assuming it must be sent off somewhere?

I need to plug the cord into the NOOk first then into the wall to get a prooer charge.

Mine too, I was going to call, I still will and see what can be done. Actually I found out that mine turns itself on and that's why the bettery goes quickly.
Re: Battery Continually loses its charge--this is my 4th Nook replacementFantasyPhanatic2 Dec 30, 2012 1:20 PM (in response to pjhiker)I have the same problem as well. My battery life is charged at one hundred and then a few hours later, about 10 percent or nothing left. I'm taking it in tomorrow, and hopefully I can get a battery replacement or an exchange. The warranty expired, but I'm hoping something can be done. (no wi-fi, SD card, apps and device turned off). Been happening for about two months now.
Re: Battery Continually loses its charge--this is my 4th Nook replacementPirateFoxy Feb 28, 2013 12:37 AM (in response to pjhiker)
I've had my Nook since May 2012 and it's suddenly started not holding a charge when not in use. I don't have Wifi turned on and I use it with the brightness all the way down most of the time, and while I will double check the email settings I don't think that's set to check - it sounds like some Nook Colors just have dud batteries that don't last as long as they should, is that accurate?
I don't want to go through the hassle of getting a replacement if I'm doing something wrong, but my use hasn't changed (if anything it should be lasting LONGER now because wifi is turned off all the time at home due to a router configuration change) and it's kind of annoying to go to pick it up and discover it's plain old DEAD, you know?
Re: Battery Continually loses its charge--this is my 4th Nook replacementNookGardener Feb 28, 2013 2:11 AM (in response to PirateFoxy)
See the 6 points outlined above. Start with soft reset (#1). Have you installed any new apps lately? Or updated any apps? Check settings on them, especially if they can phone home. (Here's an easy example of why: Used to have the Pulse app installed, liked it a lot at the time. One of their updates changed the default settings so it was looking for updates every 5 minutes. This was causing battery to drain more quickly. Think the minimum update setting was once a day so i changed to that. Eventually replaced it with a better app as more options became available.) So check any app that usesan internetconnection. Then do another soft reset. Give it a full charge overnight, and let it sit and see what happens.
Re: Battery Continually loses its charge--this is my 4th Nook replacementjs01 Sep 16, 2014 7:53 PM (in response to NookGardener)
I think that i found the answer to my problem with the battery. I had notice before when I hooked my nook up to mY computer I would get a beep on the computer. Then I would set the nook down it would beep again, wiggle the plug and it would beep again still. Last nithe I tried to charge up my nook and set it to remain on(never go to sleep mode) while charging. I also set the setting page on to device info and it would show the charging info. I noticed that if I let it sit for a couple of hrs the charge A/C would change to full charge, but the indicater stated 78%. I unpluged and then repluged it and it went back to charging A/C. When I woke up the next morning it stated charge Full but still indicated 83%????
I wiggled the plug on the nook socket and got charging A/C and placed a towel under the plug and I notice that the charging A/C stayed on while I was home,
When I got home from work the wording was charged full and the indicater was 100%. I have been reading for several hrs and it still shows 100 % battery power and the wording is Discharging (as it should be).
My conclusion is it must have something to do with program to not OVER charge the nook. Some how the nook sees the plug attached to the nook even though it is not good enough for charging. and the nook sees the plug on there long enough to charge, So the wording would be full but the indicater (which is reading the actual battery level) reads less.
I find the plug used is not a very good design to begin with and care should be taken when using the connection.
let me know what you think... Hope the above made sense

360 "wasteland" Lowest Scored
Posted 18 November 2005 - 11:38 PM
"Graphically, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland on the 360 doesn't look much better than its Xbox counterpart. Sure, you can run it in a higher resolution thanks to the 360's 720p and 1080i support, but all this does is make the character models look really awful. It runs at a smooth frame rate and doesn't have any jagged edges to it, but it still looks like a game that was initially developed for the PlayStation 2 and then hastily converted for a higher-powered system. If you're familiar with how some console-to-PC ports come out looking like crisper PS2 games, you should already have a pretty good idea of how this one looks. The textures are a weird mix--some of them are clearly higher-quality textures that look sharp, clean, and colorful. But you'll still come across some really dirty-looking ground and wall textures from time to time, too. When you compare this to other games on the Xbox 360, it looks downright mediocre."
How does "doesn't look much better than its Xbox counterpart" equate to giving it a lower score?
Posted 18 November 2005 - 11:57 PM
Add to this the fact that all the previous tony hawk games have supported 720p on the Xbox1 but this is the FIRST ONE that doesnt, the evil plot starts to emerge. They've just dumbed down the xbox1 version to make the x360 version look that much better, because it needs all the help it can get.

The only reviewer I trust is Greg Kasavin. Go Greg!
Gamespot is my favorite gaming websie when it comes to reviews and videos. We all have our opinions on them, but if you actually think a 'website' writes reviews and articles, you're wrong. Yes, they publish them, so I'm sure that since they've actually played the game, and since Jeff Gerstmann is a successful Gamespot journalist, the mediocre rating for American Wasteland holds some water for a next-gen launch title. One of the main reasons that the game scored crappy for looking just a little bit better than the Xbox 1 version, and I say it's a pretty good reason too.
It's funny, one of 1UP's journalists gives out a mediocre review about a critically acclaimed game called KAMEO and no one minds, but when "gamespot" gives out a mediocre review about a game that wasn't all that critically acclaimed in the first place, and probably isn't all it could be and may not be a justifiable Xbox 360 title (while fine for Xbox1), everyone goes "Gamespot suxxx!".
I've never liked that Jeff Gerstmann, though.
Greg Kasavin is the journalist I trust - Jeff Gerstmann can suck an egg. Don't get me wrong, those "I have crappy speaking skills, so I'll read my video review straight off of a sheet of paper" journalists can suck an egg too, but while it's lodged far up my ass.

Couldn't have said it better. I mean isn't it $10 more? And for what, the game adds nothing except a higher resolution (which as mentioned was available in previous versions until now) and even then it doesn't look that good. So yes, in my opinion the score is justified.

its not the developer who chooses the game price its the publisher. so blame activision. also i think that a good reason that the game doesnt run at 720p on the xbox1 has to do with the game being so large.
i think people were expecting too much out of a cross-generation port. for tony hawk fans, they know that the game has never really been a graphical tour de force, but played for the fun factor (IMO). im sure as long as M_heal isnt under any kind of NDA he would be more then happy to divulge the technical enhancements done for the 360. i think any naysayer here shouldnt say anything if your not a fan or until you have actually played the game. again its no surprised that everyone is so quick tol judge but things should be kept in mind when your voicing your opinions.

Elaine Wexler-Mitchell, D.V.M., says: Cats get worms by eating raw meat, ingesting fleas, or from a queen, or mother cat, who passes worms through her placenta or milk to her kittens. If you notice your cat dragging, or scooting, her rear end along the floor, she could have any one of several varieties of worms. Tapeworm segments look like small pieces of rice when they pass in a cats stool, but when they dry and stick to the hair under a cats tail, they look like sesame seeds. Roundworms are longer, spaghetti-type worms that usually cause diarrhea, vomiting, or weight loss. Hookworms and whipworms are other long white worms that live in and damage the intestines. Regardless of the variety, worms are a nuisance and a threat to your cats health. If live worms or segments are not observed externally, a microscopic fecal examination for worm eggs by your vet is the best way to discover if intestinal worms are present. No matter the circumstance, it is best to check with your veterinarian about diagnosis and treatment.
Once your vet identifies specific intestinal worms, he or she can administer oral or injectable medications to kill the parasites. Heavy worm loads in young animals can lead to dehydration and starvation, so animals with these clinical signs require additional supportive care. To help prevent intestinal worms in your cat, control fleas and make sure any meat fed to your cat is fully cooked.

Family was everything to comedic actor Bernie Mac, his daughter tells PEOPLE.
Je'Niece Childress says she still feels her father's presence at their family home in suburban Chicago home following his death four months ago from heart failure after multiple bouts with pneumonia.
"That was his primary focus. Everything he did, he did with family in mind," Childress tells PEOPLE of her father, whose last film Soul Men is in theaters now.
"If he got a new offer for a movie, he'd say, 'I need to negotiate so I can take care of you and your mother.'"
Recently divorced, Childress, 30, and her 2-year-old daughter Jasmine now live with her mother, Rhonda McCullough.
"My mom and I were always close. Now we feel we're all we have left," she says. "We tend to tag team. When she's having a moment, she'll lean on me and when I'm having a moment, I lean on her ... If I need to cry, she lets me go cry on her lap like I'm 2 years old again."
The women – who both now head up the Bernie Mac Foundation for Sarcoidosis – still feel the comedian's presence at home.
"When I turn a corner, I'm still thinking, 'I'm going to see him,'" Childress says. "I've had moments where I've woken up and I've sworn I could feel him smacking me on the back of the leg. I'll say, 'That hurts. I told you to stop. You're still so heavy-handed, even on the other side.'"
Those moments are "very comforting," she says.
"He was my dad, my first guy I ever fell in love with, my protector. He was the one I laughed with," she says. "It's going to be very hard to live without that."

Carol City, South Dade, and Central poised for playoffs
Each wins last regular season game
Akilah Laster | 11/14/2013, 9 a.m.
Carol City (7-3, 3-1) defeated American 28-21 last Thursday night at Traz Powell despite the Patriots 15-point third quarter.
The Patriots (6-4, 6-0) gained the lead after an eight-point first half deficit during the third quarter on touchdown from running back Akeem Granger and Karon Jackson that put them ahead 21-14. But it was the resilience of Chiefs' running back Ronneldon Ellington with two fourth quarter touchdowns that pulled them through. Ellington finished with 65 yards.
Chiefs' quarterback Trayone Gray, who is committed to University of Miami, added both first half touchdowns and finished with 187 passing yards and 95 rushing yards.
Carol City heads into their first playoff game since 2009 on a two game win streak. The Chiefs face Dillard.
South Dade (9-1, 3-1) earned its second consecutive win against neighborhood rival Homestead (6-4, 1-3) last Friday to finish both teams' regular season.
The Buccaneers, who will continue to the post season, were propelled by the play of senior quarterback Kahlil Render who finished with 280 passing yards and four touchdowns. Render, who is sixth in the county for passing yards, connected twice with both receivers C.J. Worton and Tyre Brady, including a 95-yard bomb to Worton in the third quarter.
But the Broncos held their own, keeping the score tied until the fourth quarter, largely due to the play of quarterback Maurice Alexander, who finished with 208 passing yards and three touchdowns.
Broncos' Georgia commit Gilbert Johnson finished with a touchdown and 43 receiving yards, while University of Florida commit finished his career at Homestead with an 100-yard game, but no touchdown.
South Dade District 16-8A's runner-up will face Southwest (9-1, 5-0), whose undefeated season was ended in their final season battle against Coral Gables, this week in the regional quarterfinals.
Central's defense held University School to three scoreless quarters in a 28-3 victory last Aaturday night at Traz Powell.
The Rockets (8-1, 4-0) stymied the Suns' (8-2, 3-0) offense, only allowing 100 total offensive yards and a first quarter field goal. The Suns average more than 360 total offensive yards per game this season.
Central's offensive yards more than quadrupled University's. The Rockets finished with 414-total offensive yards, with 317 yards coming from the rushing of the dynamic duo UF commit Dalvin Cook (136 yards) and UM commit Joseph Yearby (177 yards).
Cook added three touchdowns, but it was the first game Yearby has not scored a touchdown all season.
He will get a chance to make up for it this week as the Rockets head into post season play against Boynton Beach (9-1, 6-1).

Stegmaier: Maryland v. Duke
Maryland Turtles
Maryland showed the nation that they live true to their mascot. Slow…deliberate…slow. What they played was an abomination of lacrosse. Ten stall warnings. Ten. Then to come out and say it wasn't the game plan is like saying I didn't inhale…ten stall warnings don't just "happen".
Now with the bitterness off my chest, I will say that Coach Tillman game planned extremely well against Syracuse AND his team executed it perfectly. Maryland (when they played) looked good. Curtis Holmes (11 of 14) at the face off X just dominated as expected. Young goalie Nick Amato looked composed in net (9saves 5Goals Against=60%). One of the biggest surprises of the game was Scott LaRue who was the only Maryland player with more than 1 goal (2). He only had 1 goal coming into the game. Granted, his second goal was because he caught Joel White giving up on the play at the end of the third quarter. But LaRue had the presence of mind to keep playing until the whistle blew and scored with 1 second left in the quarter. Maryland has the skills, looks to have the confidence, and is executing. THEY are determining how a game will be played.
Duke…riding their goalie.
I have no other way to explain it. Against Notre Dame, Duke was outshot (28-34…by ND!), uncharacteristically outhustled on GBs (18-27), crushed on FO (5Duke to 11ND), turned the ball over more (14-11), performed less than 90% on clears, and 0 for 2 on EMO. The only shining light was Dan Wigrizer in goal saving 14 shots with only 5 goals against (74%). This is coming off a week rest for a concussion, and playing inconsistently throughout the season (before this game 54%). Wigi will need to continue to come up big for the Blue Devils, since the rest of the team is struggling.
In this tournament Duke has consistently been out-everything. In the first round against Delaware, Duke was outshot, struggled at face offs, turned the ball over a lot (21 times), 80% clears, and went 1 for 5 on EMO. Duke needs to play better across the board if they want to repeat as Champions.
Being ACC members, these two teams have seen each other already…twice.
In their first match up, Duke won 9-8 in overtime.
In this game, it was all about the goalies as Maryland's Nick Amato had 19saves and 9 goals against (68%), and Duke's Dan Wigrizer posted 17 saves and 8 goals against (68%). Both stood on their heads, and it was a shame one of them had to lose.
Shots were about the same. Faceoffs were almost equal (10 for Duke / 9 for MD). Duke had many more GBs (33Duke to 21MD)
In their second match up of the year, Maryland beat Duke 11-9.
In this game, both goalies came back to earth, and coincidentally both had the exact same save percentage again (50%). The difference in this game from the first was Face-offs, and GBs. Curtis Holmes took ALL of MD's face offs and won 18 only yielding 6 to Duke. Maryland also won slightly more GBs (29 MD to 27 Duke).
With the struggles at face offs and GBs in the tournament, I can see Maryland dominating play, time of possession, and shots. They will need to take more chances, and shoot more/stall less, as Wigi seems to be hot right now. However Maryland decides to play, coach Tillman will have a great gameplan and his team will execute it.
Duke will have to have someone besides their goalie step up. Whether it be on face off play, or on offense, coach Danowski needs to wake his team up. Scoring won't come easy for Duke as Maryland's Amato is a much better keeper than Delaware's Noah Fossner.
Either due to goalies, or stalling, this will probably be a game where each team scores in the single digits. Maryland wins and gets a home field advantage in the Championship.

Winner: Grow Marketing – Birkenstock Renaissance
Founded in 1966, in recent years Birkenstock realized it was in danger of "aging out" and becoming irrelevant among young consumers. In response, the venerable footwear company launched two new styles of sandals in 2009 to appeal to hip, price-conscious consumers. Enlisting Grow Marketing in 2009-2010 for the re-positioning, the two comms teams built excitement for the new styles among key bloggers and TV shows. Grow also reached out to fashion magazine editors, newspapers and broadcast producers to raise awareness for the campaign. The results: Birkenstock received more than 134 million media impressions and placed the shoes on hit shows—including Parenthood, Weeds and United States of Tara. —RD
Fast Fact: Positive coverage contributed to a 14% boost in Birkenstock sales.

LOS ANGELES - Richard Crasnick rode in three championship parades with the Los Angeles Lakers, wrote speeches for a basketball legend named Magic and toured Europe with Olympic gold medalists. But the biggest sporting event of his life is playing out in a drab warehouse in Carson, using a thin triangle of leather less than half the size of a credit card.
Crasnick is president of FIKI Sports, which stands for "Flick It and Kick It," a two-person business that includes his lifetime pal, Craig Matthews. They are betting on a sport that couldn't be more low tech in an era of sophisticated game consoles that contain more technology than a supercomputer did 10 years ago.
Paper football is played by two people sitting across a table or desk. The "ball" usually is a sheet of notebook paper folded into a flat triangle. Touchdowns are scored by flicking the triangle until it hangs over the edge of the table without falling off. Points also are awarded for "kicking" the ball with your finger through your opponent's goal posts - formed by his or her index fingers and thumbs.
Crasnick's version, projected to bring in $1.5 million in revenue this year, is the result of a shared daydream with his brother, Michael, 16 years ago. They took a paper football, wrote the then-Los Angeles Raiders team logo on it and slipped it into a small plastic bag to mimic packaging.
"We had both played it growing up in Beverlywood, and we thought 'What a great idea,' but we decided that the ball had to be leather, like a real football. Then we tossed it in a drawer," Crasnick said.
Almost nothing about Crasnick's background prepared him for what was to come, and the 47-year-old entrepreneur admitted that he knew little about running a business. But Crasnick said he kept running into people who did know things, such as how to find the right factory in China to manufacture his product, develop a national sales team and break the ice with the National Football League.
Crasnick, who majored in journalism at California State, Northridge, worked for the Lakers from 1981 to 1989, eventually becoming the team's director of promotions. He later became a sports agent with Olympic athletes as clients and helped promote celebrity basketball games on MTV, among other things.

—Dr Dickey and Mr Hatlie challenge our estimates of the extent of iatrogenic injury as "sweeping and scientifically invalid" because they are based "solely" on the MPS. Unfortunately, those results were consistent with results from a 1975 California study that showed an adverse event rate of 4.2%. Both undoubtedly underestimated the extent of injury because they relied on information recorded in medical records. As every physician knows, all events are not recorded in the medical record. In addition, neither study measured adverse events in the outpatient setting. A recent study in Australia, using MPS methodology, found an adverse event rate of 16%.1We agree with Dickey and Hatlie that the health care system is safe for the vast majority of patients and that health care professionals are dedicated to preventing injuries, points we have made repeatedly to the press and public. We have never questioned the commitment

Police Arrest Serbia's Richest Man as Fraud Suspect
Serbian police arrested Miroslav Miskovic, the country's richest man, and his son on suspicion they illegally earned more than 30 million euros ($39 million) on the sale of state road companies.
The 67-year-old entrepreneur was apprehended without being served a summons, the law firm representing him, Jankovic, Popovic & Mitic, said in an e-mailed statement. Miskovic, Milo Djuraskovic, and eight others were arrested today in connection with privatized road companies between 2005 and 2010 suspected of taking money and property valued at about 2.87 billion dinars ($33 million at the time), special prosecutor Miljko Radisavljevic said today in Belgrade.
Prosecutors will conduct "a serious financial investigation and determine if any one of the suspects possesses property gained through a criminal act," said Radisavljevic.
Serbia needs to step up its fight against corruption and organized crime as part of its effort to convince the European Union that it is fit for membership talks. The government is reviewing the sale of 24 companies after criticism from the European Parliament and is waiting on a date to begin entry negotiations.
Miskovic is "fully cooperating" with investigators, said his law office.
Hemslade Investment
The partnership between Miskovic and Djuraskovic began in 2005, when Miskovic's Cyprus-based company, Hemslade Trading Ltd., bought a road company in Belgrade for 23 million euros.
Miskovic, the owner of closely held Delta Holding, was twice questioned by police and the Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime before the arrest. Delta Holding's interests in real estate and retail and its annual sales were equal to about 9 percent of Serbia's economic output in 2010.
"We are absolutely certain that the activities of Delta Holding and its owner, Miroslav Miskovic, are in accordance with the law, and we are fully cooperating with the authorities," the Belgrade-based company said in an e-mailed statement. Delta's board of directors continues to run daily operations, it said.
Miskovic entered the Forbes list of billionaires in 2007 and has been ranked among the wealthiest people in eastern Europe. His fortune was estimated at $2.8 billion in 2010 by Forbes and Polish magazine Wprost.
Two-Day Detention
Miskovic will be detained for 48 hours, during which prosecutors can decide to hold him for as many as 30 days, state broadcaster RTS said. Police have stepped up security for Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, who is also defense minister and chief coordinator in the fight against corruption, RTS reported.
His security increased after Miskovic allegedly made verbal threats to Vucic, RTS broadcaster said today. Miskovic's lawyers said their client's words were misinterpreted and that he said "Vucic can't go tonight to RTS without arresting me first," referring to a scheduled interview the broadcaster has with the minister.
Vucic said the allegations appeared to be clear and that "prosecutors are satisfied with what they've got." He said he heard about the threats from the police and vowed no one is "above the law and untouchable," according to his televised statement.

Rollason Beta quick-build
Following the crash of my Ivan Pettigrews Shoestring (caused either by faulty soldering on a battery terminal or perhaps an early failure of the 2.4 gHz module on my TX) I cast around for another single-engined racing plane with which I could practice my rather ordinary flying skills. In the Argus publication Famous Racing and Aerobatic Planes there are, among much exalted company, the Rollason Beta drawings by AAP Lloyd. I sketched them out to about the same wingspan as the Shoestring, using Ivans plan as the background.
I have made a number of slight modifications to the Ivan formula, but have kept the rigging angles, relative size and location of the flying surfaces and identical hardware, motor, prop etc. The Beta is a low-wing plane, but has some dihedral on the outer panels: a sort of speedy Jodel Bebe. Ive squared off all the fuselage contours but if you half-close your eyes when the plane is a few metres away and flying across the light, it will look pretty much like the original. My aim, as with all my models, is to end up with a plane that can fly in a scale manner with a small reserve of power, not a ballistic missile.
For anyone who wants to build a similar model, there are many opportunities for enhancement, a number of attractive colour schemes and even a completely different undercarriage arrangement, but this brings me to the crux of the matter. I have only 14 days to build and test fly the model before leaving for the BIMBO meeting at Naseby on the 24th June, so this build log will be limited to essentials only after this short introduction. A complication is that my Multipex TX 2.4 gHz module has developed an intermittent fault where the power on slider does not activate the transmitting bit, despite all the other bells and whistles firing up. The TX was 2nd hand and the module, although a Spektrum product, is bundled with so many unnecessary extras it costs more than a decent TX. Time to go into overdraft.
Enough wittering. I've cut the ribs, and will start building later today
Here we go then. The wing spar is 2mm balsa edged with 3x3 spruce, all spliced together to the correct dihedral angles The ribs are also 2mm (a mistake - they should have been 1.5) and the sheeting, TE and cap strips are 1.5 sheet. I hate using shaped TE stock and much prefer the "sheet top and bottom" method.
The CS will now be blocked up and the port tip section built on, then the whole thing blocked the other way for the port tip. Everything will be built level at this stage, and some washout built in when the upper sheeting is glued in place.
Edit: Two port tips eh? I guess I meant "starboard." And I'm supposed to be sailing this evening: "Port!" "PORT!!" "Oh all right - starboard then"
First, thanks to Tim (35MHz) for taking my hint about "Blue Chip" and producing the artwork for the lettering, badges and racing numbers, in record time. He did the markings for the Shoestring, so they will be equally as good.
I've read comments (and also shared the view) that the ailerons on Ivan's designs are quite tricky to make, but very effective in flight. This time I've laid down a foundation of 1.5 x 4 strip in addition to the capstrips, so that the 3 x 3 balsa sub-spars have something to be glued to. When it comes to cutting the ailerons free of the wings, they will already be a proper structure, needing only the 1.5 sheet facings to complete.
Don't always expect this level of service, just that 8 hours of continuous rain has kept me inside!!
A very nice subject Mike. (Great service on those markings, too!) I'm looking forward to seeing your rapid progress!
The wing lower 2/3rds is complete and off the board.
Tim has found some excellent pictures of "Blue Chip" and it just shows that when you think you've found all the scale details you need, there are always some more lurking around the corner. Not that this is going to be a rivet-scale model, but every little scoop and marking helps the illusion.
Do you see how easily this could be made into a semi-scale Hurricane?
There's those socks again. Any holes?
Hi Frank,
I notice that the feet have more views than the wing. Perhaps there's a market for semi-scale feet, or a concours event at Chilliwack nexy year?
No photos tonight, but the wing is 75% built, top sheeted and washout locked in. The tail surfaces are rough-built.
Tim brought round the artwork, which looks really good and will absolutely make the model. Looking at the photos of the real thing, I see that the wing is dark blue top and bottom ( I had assumed the top surface would be white, don't know why) and the colour really is dark. I may have to change my Solarfilm, which is merely blue.
A day off tomorrow, including some actual flying I hope, the forecast is for light winds.
As an aside, I usually need some music to build by (The Bach 48 for cutting out ribs, for example) but this evening it's been Weather Report: good head-nodding stuff. What does everybody else use? Or is perfect silence best?
I'm a sound of silence kind of guy myself, although I usually have CBC radio (equivalent to BBC 1) on for the latest news and some in depth, thoughtful reporting on various Canadian and international topics.
Oh my God, that would make me smash everything into tiny little bits and cause me to run screaming from the workshop!
Variety is the spice of life. It's a good thing we are all different and approach things in different ways.
After a somewhat traumatic day (some other time, eh?) I've finished the wings and tail surfaces ready to cover apart from 30 minutes with a sanding block. The fuselage is simplicity itself and should go together fairly quickly.
The flat sides are not quite scale, but after the Mustang I need something easier.

Once Mighty
Narrator: Millions of heroes once kept Azeroth in check.
But no more.
It's now overrun by demons and monsters.
The once mighty Alliance and Horde have laid down their weapons.
But why?
Panel 2: Inn interior. A woman outside is grabbed by a baddie - a mogu. Inside is a blue-haired gnome and a panda, sitting at a table. They're playing a card games. There's a Hearthstone: heroes of Warcraft picture on the wall.
Victim lady (to gnome and panda inside): It's that damn card game!

Your paper has been critical of the Environmental Protection Agency "overreaching" its authority. You are parroting the complaints of those who would pollute, claiming we can reduce the cost of production and government. You should, in fairness, note the EPA's role in cleaning up our environment, our water and air.
I can remember when soot was so bad your handkerchiefs had black splotches on it after blowing your nose, and our snow turned quickly gray. In modern cities that still have a problem, their citizens wear masks. Thank goodness, and the EPA, we don't have to even though West Virginia has one of the highest asthma rates in the nation.
The EPA reported, in 2010 alone, reductions in particle matter and ozone pollution prevented 160,000 cases of premature mortality; 130,000 heart attacks; 13 million lost work days; and 1.7 asthma attacks. By 2020, the annual improvement will prevent 230,000 cases of premature maturity; 200,000 heart attacks; 17 million lost work days; and 2.4 million asthma attacks. The direct benefits from the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments should total almost $2 trillion for the year 2020. That is for the single year.
The needed actions of the U.S. EPA have proven to be far reaching, far-sighted and needed. Environmental Protection Agency has the support of citizens in the costly business of protecting our environment.

text: Explore The Lake District Temuco Parque Nacional Conguillío Lago Villarrica and around The Siete Lagos Valdivia Osorno Parque Nacional Puyehue Lago Llanquihue Parque Nacional Vicente Pérez Rosales Estuario de Reloncaví Puerto Montt Share The park splits neatly into two main sectors, formed by the volcano's western and eastern slopes. The western slopes (Sector Los Paraguas) come into their own in winter, boasting a small ski centre, the Centro de Esquí Las Araucarias (45 239999), with breathtaking views, two drag lifts, three runs and a refuge near the tree line. In summer the focus shifts to the eastern slopes, which form the bulk of the park. Day hikes Those with sufficient experience, an ice axe and crampons can make the difficult seven-hour ascent of Volcán Llaima, but you need permission from Conaf. Be prepared to deal with crevasses and fumaroles, and beware of sulphur fumes at the summit. The park also offers a good selection of hikes for all abilities. For incredible views of the Sierra Nevada range through araucaría forest, take the 7km (2.5hr) trail from Playa Linda, at the east end of Lago Conguillío, to the base of the Sierra Nevada. The challenging Travesía Río Blanco (5km; 5hr), which crosses a small glacier before continuing into the Sierra Nevada proper, is recommended for very experienced trekkers only. From the western shores of Laguna Verde, the 11km (5hr) Sendero Pastos Blancos runs to the Laguna Captrén, traversing spectacular scenery and rewarding you with panoramic views of Sierra Nevada, Lago Conguillío and the Truful-Truful valley. From the Truful-Truful Conaf ranger station, you can take the Sendero Subtramo Arpehue, part of the Sendero de Chile, to Laguna Captrén, passing the Andrés Huenupi Mapuche community along the way. Short trails The Truful-Truful ranger station is also the starting point for two short nature trails: the Cañadón Truful-Truful (900m; 30min) passes by colourful strata, exposed by the Río Truful-Truful's flow, while the Las Vertientes trail (800m; 45min) is characterized by the subterranean springs that rush out of the ground. The Laguna Captrén ranger station is the starting point for the Sendero Los Carpinteros, also part of the Sendero de Chile, a fairly easy 8km, five-hour round-trip that starts from Lago Captrén, and loops around the lagoon before continuing to the administration centre and joining the El Contrabandista trail. This trail which was formerly used by the Pehuenche hunters and cattle rustlers going to and from Argentina. The highlight is an araucaría that's estimated to be 1500 years old. Read More
