For a primer on managing disruptive patrons, knowing when to get law enforcement involved, and how to form the relationships that make that call easier, we spoke to Steve Albrecht. A retired police officer and security consultant, Albrecht is the author of Library Security: Better Communication, Safer Facilities (ALA Editions). (For more from Albrecht, see Playing It Safe: Author Steve Albrecht Tackles Security Measures for Libraries.)
Steps to a Secure Library | Library Security
Tracking Trouble | Library Security
Dealing with patrons who break library rules is no one's favorite part of the job. But establishing clear policies and penalties, and a consistent system for tracking misbehavior, is the first step toward creating an environment in which staff feel confident when enforcing rules and patrons understand the consequences of misconduct.
To Float or Not To Float | Collection Management
Most libraries that adopt floating collections expect circulation to rise because collections will be better distributed to meet patron demand. Yet how many have analyzed whether collections perform better after implementing floating than they did before materials were relocated? The Nashville Public Library undertook an experiment in floating with optimism. Did the results pay off? Here is how it all began.
Research: Library Large Print Still Needed
Large Print & Community Building
The Love of Reading Writ Large: Curating and Promoting Large Print Collections
Serving the public good has long been the mandate of all libraries. Providing everyone with access to information, without regard to income or demographic differences, is perhaps a library's most noble aspiration. For patrons with visual challenges, this has meant providing books in multiple formats, including large print.
Nicolle Ingui Davies: LJ's 2016 Librarian of the Year
There is more than enough evidence to confirm the choice of Nicolle Ingui Davies as the 2016 LJ Librarian of the Year, our award sponsored by Baker & Taylor. Take her special skills at communicating with community members in and outside of the library. Then there is her leadership in building and developing a committed and passionate staff dedicated to patron service. That is complemented by her unequivocal belief that libraries are essential services, not just "nice" assets, and the best medium to achieve an informed citizenry. The results of Davies's leadership convinced voters in 2015 that they ought to tax themselves to the tune of $30 million a year, increasing the Arapahoe Library District (ALD) budget by $6 million.
LJ Leads the Change with Its Library Design Workshop
Transformation Time: Sari Feldman hits the right tone | Editorial
The ALA's new public awareness initiative is a savvy approach to the broad challenge libraries face as they continue to evolve and must communicate what they actually contribute to their communities. Much more than talk, Libraries Transform is an actionable toolkit you should put to work now to help your constituency understand the real life of libraries.
Money Talks | Research
Chelsea Dodd remembers learning how to handle money at an early age but later seeing grown-up cousins and college roommates prove terrible with their finances. To her, launching a series of programs at the Montclair Public Library, NJ, felt just as core to her mission as a librarian as helping patrons locate reference titles. Getting people to attend? That was another story.

Skip to comments.Utah Boy Disappears From Camp (Same location another boy went missing last year)
Posted on 06/19/2005 5:41:47 AM PDT by Erik Latranyi
click here to read article
There was just a report on FOX news about Brennan.
Freeper Rad_J's 11 year old cousin is missing in Utah.
See post #28
I just saw his family on Hannity.
There are so many good people in Utah, it looks like a lot of searchers helping to look for him.
I pray they find him and he is ok.
Please post your replies to Rad_J
Rad_J, My prayers go up for your cousin and your family. God's protection over your cousin!
Velveeta - thank you for the ping.
If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
Thank you, Vel! I will pray for them. It is heartbreaking to watch and hear this boy's mother being interviewed.
Your guess is most likely wrong.
And, by the way, because of some unfortunate incidents the BSA and the LDS Church have developed strict guidelines for scout activities and background checks on scout leaders.
We had a case where I live. A scout master had been molesting boys for years. Not a peep from the boys. Until one day a boy was almost molested and he did the right thing and told someone. In a blink all the boys were identified and in counseling, the scoutmaster was turned over to law enforcement and he will probably die of old age in jail his sentence was so lengthy. We get new people in the scout program here who don't understand the strict rules and want them relaxed. I just have to take them aside and tell them about this guy and what happened and they get with the program really quick.
I join in urgent, earnest prayer for Brennan and his family!
Jeesh, where did you get that information??? I was an assistant camp director for the young women's program in the LDS church. Even though I had no formal camp training before being called, I had spent 8 years attending the same camp myself. Once I had the position I spent two nights a month in meetings with other leaders, learning about camping, fires, the area, the animals, the terrain, and the rules about the outdoors. We all were required to be certified in CPR and First Aid. There were very specific rules in place for the girls and for the leaders. Once a month during the year we would hold camp clinics for the young women (12-18 years of age.)
As far as the scoutmasters went, all of them were gungho lifelong scouters. They loved working with the young men and took every precaution they could. They took their responsibilities seriously, and learned all they could about the outdoors, and camping. In Utah, it is a big thing to do the 50 mile hike in the Unitas. The boys spend years preparing for this hike. They are given very specific instructions and rules.
You shouldn't take isolated incidents and use them to smear the LDS church's Boy Scout program.
Thank you for your post. I have been following the story about Brennan and praying for you all.
Thank you.
Prayers continuing for your cousin and his family.
My prayers are with you for the quick and safe return of your cousin. His parents must be going nuts.
Most people are more sensitive...
..I saw the mom/dad on TV last night, and it was heartbreaking.
Please know they have my prayers.
Couldn't help but notice what amazing parents Brennan has. Wonderful people.
If it is an abductor, please notice how the two missing boys resemble each other. I did.
Hang in there.
That was my first thought. I would imagine that large groups make reservations with park rangers or department to make sure they get a camping spot, so someone in the department would have time to plan something sinister. My sister lives in Park City and is just sick about it. She also says that people out there seem to be really naive about some things.
They never thought he was abducted, perhaps they have now changed their minds. They believe that he got lost and died of exposure. A child that size is a little big for a mountain lion attack, and if he were attacked, there would be some sign of it most likely.
That was a different case with a 3 year old boy, I believe, from California.
As a parent of four I can tell you that not one parent among us all is perfect. We all make mistakes.
I used this story to emphasize with my two Scouts the reason a buddy system is so important.
Praying they find him quickly, storms rolling in:
>>>the search could be hampered beginning this afternoon when thunderstorms are expected to move in and they are expected to stay over the next few days.<<<
Thanks for pinging the prayer warriors!
Oh, GMO...I lost it completely when I saw the mother's interview.
Thanks for the prayers and support. It is very heartwarming.
My brother and I went up to search. It is 50 miles from Kamas, Utah. About half way there is an area with 2 feet of snow along the road with frozen lakes. Near the scout camp there is no visible snow. We turned off the highway onto the dirt road that goes to the camp. It is about 5 miles on the dirt road to the camp. There is no gate or booth or signs for that matter. The camp is huge. The news said there were 1500 people at the camp on Friday, staff, adult leaders, and scouts. The area where the scout got lost last year was 15 miles away and I believe it was just a small group that hiked in to a mountain lake to camp and fish. The scout camp is in a narrow valley. The road in goes all the way to the south end of the camp and then heads back through the camp to the north end where Brennen was lost. The east, south, and west sides are surrounded by steep slopes that go up for about 2 miles. There are plenty of supplies, food, and water for searchers up there. There are two rivers. The smaller one flows into the larger bear river a few hundred feet behind the climbing wall. The smaller one is piped under the camp.
The area is mapped out for searching with a two mile ring and a four mile ring. Then those rings are mapped with square grids that are 500 yards by 500 yards. They divide searchers into groups of 25 that form a line. The two end people have GPS units and 5 people have radios. We hiked straight up hill for two miles to our first grid. After finding the coordinates, it takes 3.5 sweeps to search a grid. It took our most of the day to do 2 grids.
There was a forest fire there last year and everything above the valley floor is burned. Very little brush. Mostly just black poles with few branches and no green. There are patches of unburned trees. There are no cliffs or boulders in the area. The pine trees that aren't burned are pretty thin and you can see the trunk all the way up so they aren't bushy and we were instructed to look up in the trees also. It is easy to see the camp once you start up the slope. Once you get over the ridge it is very hard to keep any sense of direction. There is plenty of water in the area, little pools and marshy areas and streams.
The entire day we found a bicycle type water bottle, an old broken glass jug that had been there a long time, and a six inch piece of foil.
If I was to rank the possiblities I would say that it is most likely that he fell in the river. Second kidnapped and third that he wandered off and got lost.
FOX just reported that something was found and there are ambulances there. It may be good news.
Just read the good news on another thread and saw on FOX.... WOOOHOOOOOO! I am so glad he's alive! Our prayers were heard!!!!!!! Please tell your family we are rejoicing with them that he has been found. I feel like throwing a party. Who's coming?
He's alive!
Thank you, Sweet Jesus!!!!!
Praise the Lord!!!! Prayers have been answered!
And you are inferring what? The stake I lived in did this on a regular basis. I know not all wards and stakes go to that same extent, but you made it sound like we're just thrown in there without any training and that's simply not true.
Tell me, though, do you still belong to the LDS church?
Perhaps your intents are not to cast aspersions upon leaders of the Boy Scouts in the LDS Church, but that is what is happening. Our highest priority is the safety of the kids who go on Boy Scout hikes through church sponsored activities. Many leaders of the LDS church are on the area Boy Scout councils and keep close track of requirements. I would be interested in the source of your claim that the Boy Scouts allow the LDS church to 'cut corners.'
I'm not going to argue with you either. It looks as if we have very different experiences with working with the Boy Scouts and Young Women.
I am very happy that Brennan was found alive.
Congratulations to your entire family that your 3rd option turned out to be the 1st option. This is wonderful news and blessings to all of you.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for delivering this boy to his family, safe and sound! To You, Lord, we give all thanks.
Here is a good topographical map of the area. The stream going south is the area where I searched yesterday. He was last seen where the two rivers meet in the middle of the map. He went west and was found a mile and a half south of Lily Lake.
Thanks for your prayers and support.
My pleasure Velveeta. Thank you for letting me know about the thread!

Today we are faced with a rising tide of legislation designed for one purpose, to test the learning of our children in schools and the efficacy of our teachers in teaching them. We often think of this as something new. Teachers, a comedy made in the early 80's, features a school under attack. It has teachers who care about their students, some who don't care about their students and almost every other type in between including those who are just trying to stay alive. The students are not really any better. Some want to learn, some don't and some are also just trying to stay alive. The school is also under attack from the outside. It seems that they are being sued for giving a diploma to a student that is functionally illiterate.
October seems like the perfect time of year for dark, mysterious and brooding books. But I am still holding on to September! Something light might just be the ticket before the dark fall reads.
New release Still Foolin' 'em by Billy Crystal has cracked into the top of the New York Times best seller list. After recently turning 65, Crystal tries to relate to the other millions of baby boomers who are also at or near this milestone often by portraying physical ailments through the lens of appealing humor. He also explores his long career starting off with stand up in New York to some beloved movies and stints on Saturday Night Live and hosting the Oscars. Crystal isn't afraid to tackle serious issues, but also presents us with a belly laugh at a life well lived. There are numerous holds on the Crystal book, so while you are waiting for this book to come in you might want to try these other humorous memoirs.
Quite a while ago I posted about the movie "Melancholia," a film about the end of the world and how people reacted to the knowledge that not only their lives would end, but also the lives of everyone else on the planet. Recently I watched the film "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World." As the title suggests this is another film about the end of the world. The premise is almost exactly the same; what effect would knowing you and your world will end in a matter of days have upon you. In fact these movies could almost be two episodes of the same movie. "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" stars Steve Carell as Dodge and Keira Knightly as Penny two individuals traveling together for very different reasons. Dodge is seeking his old high school sweetheart to spend his last days with. Penny just wants to be with her family.
My last posting regarding the death of "The Adventures of Superman" star George Reeves resulted in my reminiscing about my childhood love of this particular Superman/Clark Kent. "The Adventures of Superman" is an interesting mix of adventure and plain silliness. The result is that there is something for almost everyone. The series started out as an adventure series aimed more at adults than children. In the beginning the series had an almost film noir quality about it; there were real mysteries and realistic (for the time) dangers. Superman may have saved the day, but the stories themselves would have fit well in almost any of the detective shows of the era. If you like a good story and don't mind the cheesy special effects of the time, check out the first season of "The Adventures of Superman." Once you get past the Superman origins episode you will find some good half hour mysteries.
Everything is interconnected, therefore if the case you are working on isn't getting anywhere, follow the first person you see who seems to know where they are going and the likelihood is you will arrive at the place you need to be. This is the philosophy of "Dirk Gently" a short run BBC Four series based on the book "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" by Douglas Adams.
Imagine, if you will, being in a nursing home; you have limited mobility and most of the staff believe that you are suffering from dementia, but you know you are not who they think you are. You are in fact Elvis Aaron Presley. You traded places with an Elvis impersonator to get a little peace and quiet and he managed to kill himself, making it very difficult to go back to your rightful place.
The year is 1964. America and Russia are in the midst of a cold war and nuclear proliferation. The possibility of nuclear war is on almost everyone's mind. The questions are asked, "Could we start a war by accident?" and "Once in motion, could we stop such a war?" In 1964 two films were made that attempted to answer that question, in very different ways.
There is nothing like the adventure of a good spy movie. Undercover Blues is nothing like a good spy movie, it is however a spy parody. This 1993 movie stars Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid as Jane and Jefferson Blue, two spies out on maternity leave in the city of New Orleans, who are called back into action with their newborn in tow. The Blues are the type of people you want in a tense moment, nothing fazes them and they always seem to be in control, even if they aren't
Undercover Blues is not a fall on your face laughing parody like Spy Hard, or Top Secret which try to hit you with one joke after another hoping that if you didn't like the last joke you'll like the next one. It is more like watching the James Garner Western parody Support Your Local Sheriff. The humor is a little dry and will make you chuckle. It is willing to take its time to build a joke and wait for the pay off. Dennis Quaid plays Jefferson Blue as a little cocky and sure of himself. Kathleen Turner seems more like a typical housewife, but with a bit of sultriness to her as well. They want to give the impression they are just like everyone else when it is obvious they are not. Undercover Blues is lighthearted comedy with villains that are more than a little over the top. You'll find a little violence and a touch of sexiness, but nothing out of the PG range. In all Undercover Blues is a film that you don't have to think about too hard and that you can sit back and enjoy.
Almost all of us are familiar with Walt Disney's Fantasia. The premise of this movie was simple to state if not to carry out; turn a group of Disney animators loose interpreting classical music into a vibrate visual style. Walt Disney animators did this with elegance and style.
Enter Italian film producer Bruno Bozzetto. He gives us a fictional director who aspires to share with us his truly original idea; to take classical music and force an animator he has kept locked away for years upon classical music and interpret it into a vibrate visual style.
Take a touch of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, add to it a smidgeon of John Grisham, a dislike for the music industry, (not music, just the industry behind it), stir well and you have Rob Reid's book Year Zero. It's about a universe of beings that have discovered that humans have the best music of any race in the entire universe, only they can't contact us because we aren't part of the "Refined League." In a moment of universal insanity, their solution is to pirate every song ever made, and distribute these to every being in the universe. Suddenly, after coming out of their music- induced rapture, they realize that under earth law the universe owes the people of earth a very large amount of money.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Pope's quotes: A treasure for humanity
Pope's quotes: Some of our favorite quotes from Pope Francis.
Pope's quotes: Some of our favorite quotes from Pope Francis.
Pope Francis and the patriarch of the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch expressed their desire to work toward full communion of the two churches.
The pope met with Patriarch Ignatius Aphrem II at the Vatican Friday. This was Aphrem's first official visit with Francis. The two church leaders spoke privately, after which each gave a public discourse.
If you give the key to your heart to greed, it will leave the door wide open to vanity, arrogance and all of the other vices, squeezing God out of the way, Pope Francis said at his morning Mass.
Wealth isn't "a statue" that stands inert and has no impact on a person, the pope said Friday during the Mass in the chapel of the Domus Sanctae Marthae.
"Wealth has the tendency to grow, to move around, to take a place in one's life and heart," and once it moves in, fanning the desire to always accumulate more, the heart becomes "corrupted," he said.
Pope Francis on Wednesday said people who shut out refugees should seek forgiveness, after clashes on Italy's borders as European countries try to push back against a wave of migrants fleeing by boat from Libya.
Addressing crowds in St. Peter's Square, Francis drew his followers' attention to the U.N.'s World Refugee Day this Saturday.
Christian hope and faith in the afterlife mean the sting of losing a loved one does not have to leave behind a poisonous venom in our lives, Pope Francis said.
"Our loved ones have not disappeared into dark nothingness: Hope assures us that that they are in God's good and strong hands. Love is stronger than death," he said at his general audience Wednesday.
As part of a series of talks about the family and problems they face, the pope looked at death, particularly the loss of a close family member.
Focusing on poverty and sacrificing for the poor are the heart of the Gospel, not signs of communism, Pope Francis said at his morning Mass.
Furthermore, if Christians don't dig deep and generously open up their wallets, they do not have "genuine faith," the pope said Tuesday during the Mass in the chapel of the Domus Sanctae Marthae.
He said people often hear, "Oh, this priest speaks about poverty too much, this bishop talks about poverty, this Christian, this sister talk about poverty. Well, they're a bit communist, aren't they?"
The Francis Chronicles: "I ask you to be shepherds with God's tenderness, to leave the 'whip' hanging in the sacristy and be shepherds with tenderness."
God offers his mercy to everyone, showing his deep desire that everyone be saved, Pope Francis said.
Divine mercy is a safe and certain "shelter for whoever is weak and does not presume to save himself on his own," the pope said Friday, the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Addressing the World Seminar for Catholic Civil Aviation Chaplaincies at the Vatican, the pope said airports are like "cities within cities" where chaplains meet people from many nations, cultures and religions.

A Dad-Built Backyard Rocketship
Project Denneler bell went off and I wouldn't let the idea die, much to my husband's dismay. We had acquired an old, wooden, hand-me-down, hand-me-down, hand-me-down, playset from our neighbors, and decided to tear it apart and salvage what we could for our new rocketship. Then, during the summer of 2009, my brilliantly-clever, woodworker husband designed and built this fabulous structure in our backyard. There are two levels to the rocket, a launchpad with an arching starry bridge, a spacecraft swing, a sandbox, and a climbing wall. It's the hit of the neighborhood. Our kids especially love telling their friends "my dad built me a rocketship!" Thank you Sandra & Eric; so inspiring! Gus & Bea must be over the moon! Readers, check in on this creative family at Project Denneler.

A person whose only fighting method is to squeeze his attacker or prey with his hands and arms. This person usually chants to his prey as a form of intimidation and the chant goes along the lines of "Squeeze! I'm gonna squeeze you! Squeeze!" The squeezer will not release his prey until it begs for mercy or is distracted by some other prey. All people should run for their lives if they hear the chant of the squeezer. Be aware the squeezer will befriend you and will constrict you into submission for eternity.
That squeezer is lurking in the shadows over there chanting to himself we should probably get outta here.

Comments about Hal Leonard More Blues You Can Use (Book/CD):
The book includes a CD that is straight forward and helped me through the lessons. The lessons progress from simple to fairly challenging. The lessons include a rhythm and lead part for each song. I enjoyed playing the alternate part with the CD once I had both parts down. The introduction to the book suggests that you either have a solid background in blues guitar or you've completed the first book in the series. That would be my suggestion also. The book does a good job of offering things to play, but also teaching the principles that will get you off and running with any blues guitar.

Check out a local's perspective after the jump.
For many, Guantanamo will represent a dark chapter in American history in which basic human rights were disregarded in an overzealous pursuit of justice. Perhaps there is no
better account of how this played out on the innocent than Mahvish Khan's book,
My Guantanamo Diary, in which the former University of Miami law student relates her
experiences at the prison camp as a translator. Check out a video here of Khan talking about the book.
"At the heart of this big Guantanamo debate lies something much more fundamental than habeas corpus and due process," Khan says in the video. "This is about people's lives and we often don't hear about the Guantanamo detainees as individuals. It's one nameless faceless entity of foreigners who we are told are the "worst of the worst" and they've been stripped of their names and hidden because not knowing who they are makes their abuse much more palatable.
And I believe that if Americans knew who really was at Guantanamo this base wouldn't still be open."

Here's an instructional video on making sourdough.
Oh James, Yum..they look absolutely Beautiful. Thank-You Christine..
I do have the time to indulge...but on a work-a-week schedule it would be hard.
Woodrow does the 'every day' sour dough over 24 hrs -- 8pm to 8pm. But with very little kneading -- but I doubt that there is a way around that time scale.
If you can offer the sour dough leaven the time you are away --as often as you want.
Linda Woodrow (Permaculture Author) writes about her exercises with Sourdough and a tight schedule. Worth a whirl through her extensive website to see how she managed it all.
Having fiddled a little with Sourdough myself, I am full of admiration for her methods.
Hey Dave, My suggestion doesn't mean you hand the dough less, but it makes it easier to work with in a busy schedule, and helps save you some time. I am happy to provide further advice if you like, as I have a very good background that can assist the home baker.
I like playing with dough with the hands. That is what appeals as I have no desire what so ever to bake cakes.
That ain't me.My partner is the pastry type.
I'm a sculptor at heart and used to so occupy my time making masks and puppets.
As it is written in Genesis 2:7
"And the LORD David formed dough of the powder of the grain, and breathed into its nostrils the breath of life; and the dough became a living soul."
Sour dough does keep longer than other beads.But I'm likely to eat it all before that time scale can be tested this time around. But I see where 4-5 days is kosher.
But thereafter: toast.
I do have a bread bin but I prefer to keep my breads in cotton bags as in the bins mould forms more quickly in our climate.
This bake was based on 700 grams (5 1/2 cups) flour -- = 2 loaves -- so I reckon weekly or every fifth day bakes may suit my needs. But how anyone can bake sour dough like this while working a 5 day week outside the home, amazes me.
On top of that you are working to keep your starter alive -- refrigerated or not.So when your artisan baker charges $8-12 a loaf you gotta respect the labour , besides the skill.
In my case I have two adult offspring who don't eat wheat and I'm hoping to bake a sour dough that ameliorates the gluten and other issues carried in the grain.
It's probably a FODMAP challenge as I know my daughter can tolerate sour dough but purchasing real sour dough on a regular basis is very difficult.And, of course, false labelling is rife.
Later on I have the option of the older grains like Spelt. But I presume that the key to baking bread of consistent quality is getting to know your flour...and your climate. And the starter matters big time: and a sibling of mine (once weaned) I hope to send off to a friend in Newcastle.
Way back I built a cob oven and that too was a fun exercise. But really, such hardware doesn't suit a daily/weekly routine.
Hey Dave,
The Tartine method of stretch and fold replaces the use of a mixer with a dough hook.. so if you want to reduce the hands on more, you can use a mixer and get the same result - it is what I do.... basically using the Tartine recipe.....
Lets us know how long it keeps for Dave, I know when we made some a while back it was the best toast ever.
Next time I'll run the rising course and get more air into that dough.It's a wetty mix so it is hard to judge the slopping, foldin' and a'pullin'.
All I'm after is a serviceable 'everyday' sour dough bread.
But looking at the method, I can't see any short cuts.
The video here is tantalising and I now have the book that got rave reviews.
In the original version they bake the loaves in Dutch Ovens: that makes the toolset a tad complicated.

The budget airline is flying high thanks to a bumper end to 2012.
Revenue soared 15% to £825million between September and December, as passenger numbers grew 3% to 17.3million and its average fare rose by 8%.
The fare increase partly reflects extra money made from passengers for things like reserved seating.
Ancillary revenue – that's everything from controversial baggage fees to car hire – rocketed 24%.
It also includes card fees, with Ryanair getting it in the neck last November after announcing passengers would be charged twice for paying by credit card.
The firm, run by maverick chief executive Michael O'Leary, already levied a £6-per-person administration fee on most bookings made using plastic but then added 2% to flights booked with a credit card.
Ryanair blamed rule changes introduced by the Office of Fair Trading, a claim which was denied by the watchdog.
In an update yesterday the airline said profit after tax surged 21% to £15.4m, despite Ryanair facing a 24% jump in its fuel bill.
Chief operating officer Michael Cawley said: "We saw strong demand out of the UK, out of Germany and out of Scandinavia and that has gone straight to our bottom line."
The strong end to 2012 prompted Ryanair to pencil in a profit of £462m in the 12 months to the end of March, a 7% increase on the previous year.
The airline has grounded up to 80 aircraft this winter as a result of high oil prices, airport fees at Stansted and Dublin airports and expectations of seasonally weaker demand.
As a result, it expects traffic will be 3% lower in the current quarter.
Separately, Ryanair said European regulators should give the green light to Ryanair's £595m bid for its rival Aer Lingus.

Marcellus Shale provides Erie-area employment
The Marcellus shale natural-gas rush hasn't brought oil and gas companies rushing to Erie.
Nor has it sent Erie residents prospecting for riches in Hop Bottom, Wyalusing or other Marcellus boom towns.
But it has brought needed business to an Erie company that is keeping big rigs running in the Marcellus gas fields.
Canfield Auto Radiator Inc., 15 E. 18th St., is servicing, repairing and replacing massive radiators that cool the engines aboard trucks that are pumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of water into the ground to fracture the underlying shale.
Natural gas is released through the fractures and extracted.
The trucks are owned by Meadville-based Universal Well Services and are operating in West Virginia and Ohio, and in Pennsylvania at base camps near Bradford, Connellsville, Pittsburgh and Punxsutawney.
"Their radiators are as tall as the cabs of the trucks. It takes something that big to cool these huge trucks and equipment," said Scott Canfield, sales and marketing director for Canfield Radiator.
Radiators are shipped from the gas fields to Erie on flatbed trucks.
"They're so big, we can't just take our pickups and go get them," Canfield said.
Canfield Radiator bills Universal Well Services between $5,000 and $8,000 per radiator, depending on the work required. It's repaired or replaced seven radiators since 2008.
The company is bidding for additional work on equipment owned by Schlumberger Ltd., a giant Paris-based company now drilling in the Marcellus shale near Williamsport.
That kind of work -- plus repairs to radiator-cooled generators in use in a number of public and commercial buildings -- has been a godsend for the family-owned business, Canfield said.
Its traditional work on passenger car radiators, begun by Canfield's father in 1947, has largely evaporated. Most car radiators today are built to last through the shorter lifetime of "throwaway" vehicles, Canfield said.
"With this economy the way it is and changes in the passenger-car industry, this commercial work is survival," he said.
Canfield Radiator employs 11 people.
Other Erie residents and businesses can expect to cash in on the natural-gas rush more directly one day, but probably not until gas-rich Marcellus strikes to the east and south are depleted.
The Marcellus shale has been calculated to be the world's third-largest source of natural gas, but it is shallower and thinner here than it is elsewhere, and contains less natural gas.
Other, deeper layers of organic-rich rock in northwestern Pennsylvania, including the sprawling Utica shale, are expected to become more accessible as drilling and extraction techniques at use in the Marcellus gas fields evolve.
It was work on the smaller Barnett shale in Texas that first taught drillers how to profitably extract natural gas from impermeable shale, said Gary Lash, a geologist and director of the Shale Research Institute at the State University of New York at Fredonia.
Drillers there learned to fracture, or frack, the shale to release natural gas, and to drill horizontal shafts to reach more fractures.
Those and better techniques in time could make drilling profitable in other layers of shale in western Pennsylvania and western New York, Lash said.
"There are other Devonian black shales, including the Rhinestreet shale, that are thicker than the Marcellus and do contain natural gas. It doesn't have the amount the Marcellus has, but wells may be cheaper to drill and may be able to be fracked with nitrogen, which gets around the whole water issue," Lash said.
Drillers now use about 1 million gallons of water to frack each Marcellus well. That's raised concerns about water supplies near the wells and water quality when "frack water" is released.
The Sierra Club, Pennsylvania Chapter, in a Jan. 18 letter to Gov. Tom Corbett calling for stricter regulation of Marcellus drilling, cited a wastewater spill that ruined a stream in Greene County.
The Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group, counters that the environmental dangers of fracking are minimal.
Also at issue are a number of legislative questions, foremost among them environmental protections and whether gas profits from the Marcellus shale should be taxed.
Corbett promised to impose no new taxes as governor.
Others, including former Gov. Ed Rendell, say taxes on natural-gas profits could fund environmental improvements and bail out a state budget that's billions of dollars in the red.
Canfield has no doubts about how that debate should end. He opposes any tax on drilling that could dissuade oil and gas companies from doing business in Pennsylvania.
"Jobs, employment and all that the Pennsylvania economy can benefit, including pumping life into these dying small towns, should be measured against how much the state can benefit in the added revenue," Canfield said. "From the standpoint of a person in business like myself, I would hate to see the drilling get scared off by a possible tax."

Deny This
Handing out his awards for "sustainability" at Buckingham Palace the other day, the Prince of Wales made a few remarks about "climate change" and attacked "powerful groups of deniers" as a "headless-chicken brigade" ignoring the scientific evidence. It's pretty funny to be called a "headless chicken" by a guy who runs around saying the sky is falling. In 2009 His Royal Highness gave a speech saying we had only 96 months left to save the planet. Ninety-six months? That would be July 2017 — which is only three and a half years off. On the other hand, it's almost twice as far away as January 2016, which is the official final storewide-clearance date for Al Gore's 2006 prediction of the end of the world.
As for labeling as "deniers" those of us still deluded enough to be making plans for Christmas 2017 and beyond, this usage is utterly contemptible from a man who will be king of all kinds of people with all kinds of opinions on this subject across his many realms from the supposedly soon-to-be-ice-free Canadian Arctic to the atolls of Tuvalu about to be drowned by rising sea levels. Dr. Michael E. Mann, the self-garlanded "Nobel Laureate" currently suing me and this magazine, also likes to damn anyone with the temerity to disagree with him as a "denier," but it's a truly appalling epithet from the lips of a would-be constitutional monarch. I was born a subject of the Prince's mother and have lived under no other sovereign, but, if I'm still around when Charles III succeeds to the throne and he carries on like this, I may have to decline to stand for the Loyal Toast at formal dinners in Ottawa and Canberra.

The Philadelphia 76ers are a bad franchise right now. Though they have some promising rookies, a majority of their roster is dead weight.
There are max-contract players who just can't hold their own on the court.
If the franchise continues this way, it will be a very bumpy road and they won't get that much out of it.
Here's who I think are the only 76ers worth caring about.

Nature's Nurse® Rapid Response Solutions Product Now Carried by Earth Fare and more.
Nature's Nurse® Rapid Response Solutions Product Carried by Earth Fare, Nature's Pharmacy, and Asheville Integrative Medicine—Visit Nature's Nurse Booths at Earth Fare Stores on January 19 and 20
Asheville, NC – Nature's Nurse®--located on the grounds of the NC Arboretum in coordination with Bent Creek Institute is excited to announce that two of their patent-pending, rapid response solutions, all natural products made with natural Fijian Red Mangrove™ are now available in Earth Fare stores—after repeatedly selling out in Nature's Pharmacy in Biltmore Village and also becoming a respiratory support-product-
Earth Fare has begun carrying the company's Respigard™ product; designed to help adults and children challenged by seasonal respiratory and immune systems experiences or ongoing, more persistent respiratory system conditions. "According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) the timing of flu is very unpredictable, but flu activity usually peaks in the U.S. in January or February and now is the time to arm your family with Respigard," said Dr. Ted Anders, Nature's Nurse® co-founder. Respigard™ is designed to support the respiratory and immune systems of toddlers to adults during this peak season and all year around," he added. An independent, third-party clinical observation was conducted on more than 80 patients at the Atlanta Allergy and Asthma Institute on Respigard™ by leading asthma and allergy specialist Dr. Scott Carroll. He reported that 8 out of 10 of his patients fully resolved their colds within 48 hours; with zero negative side effects.
In addition, the leading physicians in New York City and upstate New York refer Respigard because of consistent respiratory system support results they observed across the range of respiratory support needs. The efficacy broad-based efficacy was most widely noticed after Respigard was donated to 911 First Responder Survivors in 2008. 47,000 responders are suffering severe, ongoing respiratory system challenges following the damage done by breathing in microscopic concrete, metal, carpet, and other building components of the Twin Towers. Physicians reported remarkable support of the respiratory and immune systems with Respigard.
The second product is the company's Skingard™ product. Skingard™
Recently, Nature'
For a summary of professional, peer-reviewed research articles regarding health-related functions of red mangrove extracts as used in Nature's Nurse products, click on the research tab at www.NaturesNurse.com.
The Respigard™ and Skingard™ formulas were designed locally in Asheville with the involvement of the Bent Creek Institute and the North Carolina Bionetwork/Biobusiness Center at AB Tech Enka Campus. Additional plant phytochemical research support is being conducted by Dr. Joann McCoy at the Germplasm Institute and US Botanical Safety Labs located on the grounds of the NC Arboretum; where Nature's Nurse has focused its research activities.
The products were introduced on Earth Fare shelves January 3rd for Family Night. Company representatives were on-site offering tasting and product information at both Westgate and Hendersonville Rd. locations. Nature's Nurse® teams will be in the stores January 19th and 20th for Earth Fare's Wellness Weekend.
Earth Fare is one of the largest natural food retailers in the nation. They have 28 stores in eight states, and offer ready-to-go meal options, local and organic farm fresh fruits and vegetables, and full service meat, poultry and seafood departments.
Respigard™ has repeatedly sold out off the shelves at Nature's Pharmacy based on physician referral and patient word-of-mouth during this intense cold/flu season.
Dr. James Biddle of Asheville Integrative Medicine and his team did extensive due diligence on Respigard and now offer it at their natural pharmacy.

Rating Banks on Openess About Their Fees (That Withdraw Money from Your Account)
According to WalletHub.com, a new personal finance social network that is trying to get your attention, nearly all of us have bank accounts, which means we're paying bank fees and we don't even know what they are -- or where to find out about them.
In what's called its "2013 Checking Account Fee Transparency Report," WalletHub states: "The average checking account has around 30 separate fees, most of which are not clearly disclosed. This pervasive, industry-wide lack of checking account fee transparency, of course, makes it extremely difficult for consumers to effectively compare checking account offers and thereby minimize what they pay for everyday cash management services."
"If you thought prepaid cards charged a lot of fees, you obviously haven't scrutinized a checking account agreement in too much detail," WalletHub Founder and CEO Odysseas Papadimitriou said, commenting on the report's findings.
Well no. Most people don't. Which either indicates a severe lack of seriousness on their part or perhaps the feeling that they want to get on with their lives. The trade-off to most that they pay an extra $3 a month just so they can have an image of their (increasingly rare) checks seems like a reasonable deal after a while, right?

"The manner in which major banks relate the costs associated with their checking products to consumers is both ridiculous and completely unacceptable. They list different fees in different places on their websites, call them by different names, and don't even highlight the most important fees before you apply. Regulatory bodies and watchdog groups have spurred some improvement in this regard, making disclosures shorter and somewhat easier to understand, but there's obviously still work to be done," Papadimitriou wrote in his company's press release.
