Hurricanes that have a severe
impact on lives or the economy are remembered generations after
the devastation they caused, and some go into weather history.
The National Hurricane Center
near Miami, Florida, monitors tropical disturbances in the Atlantic
and eastern Pacific Oceans which could become a hurricane.
There is an exception to the retirement rule, however. Before 1979, when the first permanent six-year storm name list began, some storm names were simply not used anymore. For example, in 1966, "Fern" was substituted for "Frieda," and no reason was cited.
Below is a list of Atlantic Ocean retired names, the years the hurricanes occurred, and the areas they affected. There are, however, a great number of destructive storms not included on this list because they occurred before the hurricane naming convention was established in 1950.

Fossils of a giant Sauropod, found in Teruel Spain, reveal that Europe was home to giant dinosaurs in the Late Jurassic period -- about 150 million years ago. Giant dinosaurs have previously been found mainly in the New World and Africa.
This dinosaur may have been the most massive terrestrial animal in Europe.
The findings are published in the 22 December 2006 issue of the journal Science, published by AAAS, the nonprofit science society.
Researchers from the Fundación Conjunto Paleontológico de Teruel-Dinópolis found dozens of sauropod bone fossils at the Barrihonda-El Humero site the Riodeva village, Teruel, Spain.
The new sauropod, Turiasaurus riodevensis, is named for the Teruel area (Turia) and the village where it was found.
The turiasaurus is estimated to have weighed between 40 and 48 tons (the weight of six or seven adult male elephants) and is comparable to the world's largest known dinosaurs, including Argentinosaurus and Brachiosaurus. At its estimated length, between 30 and 37 meters, the sauropod would be as long as an NBA basketball court. "The humerus -- the long bone in the foreleg that runs from the shoulder to the elbow -- was as large as an adult," said Brooks Hanson, Science's deputy editor, physical sciences. The claw of the first digit of its pes, or hoof, is the size of an NFL football.
In addition to the humerus, researchers also found fragments of skull, scapula, femur, tibia and fibula, as well as teeth, vertebrae, ribs and phalanges.
The characteristics of the new dinosaur allows the authors to group several sauropod remains from Portugal, France, United Kingdom and other Spanish areas in a new clade, or branch, of dinosaurs that has more primitive limb and bone structures than other giant sauropods that have been found on other continents in Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous rocks. "This dinosaur is also more evolutionary primitive than other giant sauropods found," Hanson said.
Analyses indicate that the new giant dinosaur represents a member of a formerly unrecognized group of primitive European eusauropod dinosaurs that evolved in the Jurassic.
The giant sauropod fossils were found in terrestrial deposits in a 280 square meter section of the Villar del Arzobispo Formation (Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous) that has also yielded isolated elements of other sauropods, theropod teeth, postcranial remains of stegosaurs, as well as fish and turtles.
"New Giant European Dinosaur and a New Sauropod Clade" by Rafael Royo-Torres, Alberto Cobos and Luis Alcalá appears in the 22 December issue of Science. They are researchers at Fundación Conjunto Paleontológico de Teruel-Dinópolis, Teruel, Spain.

Singing legend Manna Dey, who was suffering from lung infection, died in Bangalore on Thursday. He was 94.
The singer has been in and out of hospital for the past few months. "Manna Dey who was under treatment for the last four months breathed his last around 3:15am," KS Vasuki, a spokesman of Narayana Hrudayalaya said.
Trained in Hindustani classical music by two classical stalwarts, Ustad Aman Ali Khan and Ustad Abdul Rahman Khan, he began his career in playback singing with the film Tamanna in 1943. He was awarded the Padmashree in 1971, Padmabhushan in 2005 and the Dadasaheb Phalke award in 2007.
Here is a selection of some of his iconic songs:
Ae meri zohar jabeen (Waqt) Achala Sachdev will always be immortalised as the screen wife Balraj Sahni serenaded in the BR Chopra film. Manna Dey's warm rendition of the joys of a happy marriage is peerless.
Tu pyar ka sagar hain (Seema) If Mukesh was the voice of Raj Kapoor, Dey was Balraj Sahni's voice. Ashok (Sahni) the compassionate manager of an orphanage sings his plea to Gauri (Nutan), an orphan girl who works there.
Laga chunari mein daag (Dil Hi to Hai) Raj Kapoor sings this song with panache dressed as an aging music teacher. The setting is a stage and Pran makes a brief appearance towards the end of the song.
Ek chatur naar karke (Padosan) A laugh riot of the late sixties, this is one of Dey's most successful collaboration with fellow playback singer Kishore Kumar who plays a pivotal role in the film as the hero Sunil Dutt's guru.
Chaddh gayo papi bichhua (Madhumati) One of the earliest Hindi films to deal with the theme of reincarnation, this song of Madhumati was one of Salil Chowdhury's best compositions. The haunting lilt of Dey in this song is the perfect foil to Madhumati (Vyjantimala)'s frenetic dance of a scorpion.
Tu chhupi hain (Navrang) Manna Dey does justice to this romantic song of a husband who yearns for his wife - Tu chhupee hai kahan mai tadapta yahaan/ Tere bin fika fika hai dil kaa jahaan/
Too chhupee hai kahan mai tadapta yahaan/ Too gayee udd gaya rang jaane kahaan/ Too chhupee hai kahan mai tadapta yahaan. This is one of his memorable duets with Asha Bhonsle.
Yeh raat bheegi bheegi (Chori Chori) The music was a high point of this Raj kapoor-Nargis film with tracks ranging from soothing melodies such as Aaja Sanam and Yeh raat Bheegi Bheegi in the voices of Lata Mangeshkar and Manna Dey, to fast beat songs such as Jahan Mein Jati Hun by Lata and Dey.
Dil ka haal sune dilwala (Shri 420) Raj (Raj Kapoor), an educated orphan comes to Bombay to make something of himself. Street dwellers are among his first friends in this city. This merry song is picturised in their midst.
Zindagai kaisei hain paheli (Anand) The unmatchable soar of Manna Dey in this song lifts the pathos of Anand (Rajesh Khanna), a terminally ill cancer patient, to another plane.
Yeh Dosti (Sholay) - Dey partnered with Kishore Kumar in this unforgettable song on friendship in the Bollywood cult film Sholay.

The Creatures that History Forgot HTML version
"Yeah, I do actually,"
"Well then I am sure you will do fine." my mother said dusting some loose hair off my
outfit with a practiced hand.
"Then I will prepare to leave in a few days." I said turning to my mother who stared at me,
obviously confused.
"Leave?" she asked as a sense of fear began to build in her voice.
"Um you remember I told you I want to learn more about the humans?" I remi nded her as
she slowly bobbed her head in agreement.
"Oh yes… of course, but be careful." she stammered as I thought about how pleased the
kids would be to see me again so soon. I missed their company for they were my only friends.
They were the only ones who understood me and completely dissociated from me from my title
as leader.
"Don't worry I can take care of myself now." I stated as my mother looked back at me.
"You sure can, well when you are ready to leave I will be waiting with the royal guards." my
mother announced then rushed out of the room.
"May I enter, your Majesty?" someone asked as I turned to see Maya peeking behind the
door, which my mother carelessly left open.
"Yes I wish to speak with you," I said as Maya bowed then hurried over to me.
"Yes, your majesty,"
"I now understand what it means to be wise,"
"You do?"
"Yes, when I was looking for my mother's cure I learned that information is extreme vital to
success. I think wisdom is a great respect for knowledge gained by experience and the
understanding of the significance of that knowledge."
"Yes I believe that is correct for knowledge is meaningless if it is not evaluated,"
"Thank you wise one but why did you come here anyway?"
"I came merely to congratulate you on your success. You saved us all and I thank you."
"Giving up was not an option so I had no choice. I had to succeed."
"Well I am thankful all the same."
"Let's leave. I have an important announcement to make."
"Of course your majesty," Maya said bowing as I hurried out the room to join my mother
and the royal guards, who quickly got in to formation. I led the way with my blade raised. My
mother followed close behind as the guards encircled us, rushing about our feet. T he Death
Stalkers joined the procession when it passed them by after gaining affirmation from me. Dabu
walked silently beside me but I knew he was proud to be in my company.
Our group stopped when we saw the others gathered around the great central light to sing
our anthem proudly in remembrance of our species. Its lyrics echoed from past generations,
powerful and unc hanging like the passage of time always marching forward.

You read the name right: This is an eyelid serum. We know, we could hardly believe that ourselves. Perricone actually maintains the eyelid area needs its own product, too. It doesn't, especially not this product. Aside from the marketing claims that this contains some special ingredients, none of them offer special benefit to loose or wrinkled eyelid skin.
What's especially problematic is that the formula contains fragrance plus fragrant ingredients (linalool and citronellol) that are known irritants. Ideally, you should keep these far away from the eyes!
In terms of this serum providing "dramatic tightness" for drooping eyelids, don't bet on it. This isn't an eyelift in a bottle. The anti-irritants and vitamin-based antioxidants this contains are beneficial for skin anywhere on the face. As for glutathione—it's a great antioxidant and there's an impressive amount of it in this serum, but there's no research proving it tightens skin or is capable of dramatically improving signs of aging. Besides, if it were really that remarkable, why isn't Perricone using it in his many other anti-aging products, including all of his eye creams? Are those less desirable because they don't contain glutathione? As for the peptides this contains, they're theoretically cell-communicating ingredients, but the amount included is at best sparse. See More Info to find out why, in truth, you don't need a special product for the eye area.
More Info:
Why You May Not Need an Eye Cream
Most eye creams aren't necessary. That's either because they are poorly formulated, contain nothing special for the eye area, or come in packaging that won't keep key ingredients stable. Just because the product is labeled as an eye cream doesn't mean it's good for your eye area; in fact, many can actually make matters worse.
There is much you can do to improve signs of aging around your eyes. Any product loaded with antioxidants, skin-repairing ingredients, skin-lightening ingredients, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and effective emollients will work wonders and those ingredients don't have to come from a product labeled as an eye cream.
You would be shocked how many eye creams lack even the most basic ingredients to help skin. For example, most eye creams don't contain sunscreen. During the day that is a serious problem because it leaves the skin around your eyes vulnerable to sun damage and this absolutely will make dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles worse!
Whatever product you put around your eye area, regardless of what it is labeled, must be well formulated and appropriate for the skin type around your eyes! That may mean you need an eye cream, but you may also do just as well applying your regular facial moisturizer around your eyes.
Topically replenishes the skin's Glutathione levels around the eye to dramatically improve the visible signs of accelerated aging along the upper eye lid area and deliver a youthful, more awakened appearance. Additional benefits include dramatic tightness and firmness of a droopy eyelid and a smoothing of creases and minimized redness and dark circles.

Perricone MD Cosmeceuticals At-A-Glance
Strengths: A handful of good cleansers; a couple of worthwhile moisturizers for the eye area; several fragrance-free products; a few impressive makeup products.
Weaknesses: Expensive; long on claims not supported by evidence-based science; use of controversial ingredients throughout the line; several antioxidant-rich products are packaged in jars, which renders those beneficial ingredients less effective.
This dermatologist-developed line is perhaps the best known in an increasingly crowded field. The frenzy began with Nicholas Perricone's first book, The Wrinkle Cure, and continued when he appeared on PBS to discuss his book and namesake products, all of which seemed incredibly legitimate to consumers worried about how to look younger longer. PBS reaped a financial windfall from his appearance, netting millions of dollars between 2001 and 2002 (Source: www.quackwatch.org). Originally all the fuss centered around vitamin C and alpha lipoic acid, but as his success continued, Perricone wrote half a dozen more books and expanded his product line to include other over-hyped ingredients, each with claims (and price tags) more inflated than the last round.
We sourced the Web site Quackwatch.org because they have an excellent, unbiased report on the Perricone phenomenon. This non-profit site is operated by consumer advocate Dr. Stephen Barrett, and, to quote the Quackwatch Mission Statement, their purpose is "to combat health-related frauds, myths, fads, fallacies, and misconduct." That's where Perricone comes into play. According to Quackwatch, Perricone's books "contain many claims that are questionable, controversial, fanciful, unsupported by published evidence, or just plain wrong. Although he mentions standard skin-care treatments, sometimes favorably, his books provide little guidance about when they might be appropriate or sufficient. Although he provides long lists of references, practically none of them directly support what he promises." Those sentiments are exactly what we felt and wrote after reading The Wrinkle Cure.
The site goes on to state: "Perricone's books are sprinkled with statements that his ideas are based on his own research. However, the extent and quality of this research is unclear. A PubMed search for his name brought up only six citations, of which only two appear to be original research, both on topical glycolic acid. His books describe situations in which he tested various ideas in a few patients, usually over a short period of time, but he provides few details and apparently published none of those findings in medical journals." Does that sound like the kind of products you'd like to spend (a lot of) your money on?
They go on to conclude (and we agree completely with the following text): "Dr. Perricone has mixed a pinch of science with a gallon of imagination to create an elaborate, time-consuming, expensive, prescription for a healthy life and younger skin. There is no reason to think his program is more effective than standard measures. Although some of his advice is standard, most of his recommendations are based on speculation and fanciful interpretation of selected medical literature. He makes lots of money by convincing patients and consumers, but he hasn't succeeded in convincing critical thinkers, doctors, scientists, or anyone who wants to see hard evidence. Perricone's prescription isn't science; it's creative salesmanship." And which ingredient is the answer for healthy skin? Perricone can't seem to make up his mind, because one group of products contains alpha lipoic acid, another group olive oil, another vitamin C, and still another neuropeptides. Come on, doctor, which is it?
One ingredient Perricone uses deserves some discussion because it is present in all of his products, and that's dimethyl MEA, also known as DMAE (chemically 2-dimethyl-aminoethanol). DMAE has been around for years as an oral supplement that's popularly believed to improve mental alertness, much like Ginkgo biloba and coenzyme Q10. However, the research about DMAE does not show the same positive results as the other two supplements. Because DMAE is chemically similar to choline, DMAE is thought to stimulate production of acetylcholine. And because acetylcholine is a brain neurotransmitter, it's easy to see how it could be associated with brain function. However, only a handful of studies have looked at DMAE for that purpose and they have not been conclusive in the least, while some have shown that DMAE may be problematic or not very effective (Sources: Mechanisms of Aging and Development, February 1988, pages 129–138; Neuropharmacology, June 1989, pages, 557–561; European Neurology, 1991, pages 423–425; and European Journal of Medical Research, May 2003, pages 183–191).
How does any of this translate into skin care, or, more to the point, suppressing the signs of aging? Perricone claims DMAE restores muscle tone to skin that has lost firmness and has begun to slacken, as well as conveying an antioxidant benefit. Johnson & Johnson uses DMAE in a few of their Neutrogena products, and a study they paid for appeared in the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology (June 2005, pages 39–47). The conclusion was as follows: "the benefits of DMAE in dermatology include a potential anti-inflammatory effect and a documented increase in skin firmness with possible improvement in underlying facial muscle tone." The study examined topical application of 3% DMAE over a period of 16 weeks, but it was not done double-blind and was not placebo-controlled, which makes the results, at best, questionable. Moreover, the study didn't examine whether a 3% or lower concentration of other ingredients, such as green tea, glycolic acid, vitamin C, or myriad others (many of which Perricone has extolled in his other products, and the amount of DMAE he used varies widely from product to product), might have had the same or better results.
Is there any reason to get excited (and drain your pocketbook) for products with DMAE? Apparently not; a study published in The British Journal of Dermatology (May 2007) has shown contrary evidence that it may actually pose risks for the skin. In vitro tests of the pure substance, as well as creams that contained DMAE, demonstrated a fairly fast and significant increase in protective elements around the skin cell. However, a short time later the researchers observed an important reduction in cell growth and in some cases they found that it halted cell growth altogether. So, while you may initially experience a kind of swelling of the skin because of the expanding effect caused by topical application of DMAE, the long-term results appear to be far from desirable.
Interestingly, even though this ingredient is present throughout Perricone's line, he has yet to publish his own research discussing the claims and explaining how topical DMAE works. The bottom line is that as more research comes to light, DMAE may prove more problematic than helpful for aging skin. But in the meantime, Perricone is raking in lots of money by convincing consumers otherwise.

NFL Bettors Don't Know What to Do With the Biggest Spread of All Timeby
Las Vegas bookmakers are calling this Sunday's game between the undefeated, record-breaking, naked-bootlegging Denver Broncos and the defeated, drown-your-sorrows, sorry-you-have-to-see-this Jacksonville Jaguars the most lopsided NFL game ever, with the Broncos favored by as many as 28 points. The matchup stretches the margins of NFL disparity and, so far, is baffling bettors.
"I don't know that the public knows what to do with it, or if anybody really knows what to do with it," says Johnny Avello, director of race and sports at the Wynn Las Vegas. The spread at the Wynn currently sits at 27 points, the highest Avello can recall. He set it at 27.5 on Sunday afternoon. The first bet was a large one in favor of the Jaguars that brought the number down to where it is. This, Avello says, tends to be the pattern with large spreads. Sophisticated bettors, known as "sharps," take the underdogs and the points.
"They are usually on the plus," says Avello. "If a game [spread] is 17, they are usually on the plus. If it's 20, which we don't see much, they are usually taking the 20." These sharps don't see some quality or defect that the rest of us are missing. They are simply betting on the tendency of NFL teams to limit damage. "This isn't college football, where it's Oregon or Baylor and they are up by 31 in the second half and they are trying to go full bore and win the game by 50," says Avello. "Pro football players are happy to get out with a W and no injuries." If a rout is on, the winning team usually pulls its starters and plays it safe.
In the case of Denver and Jacksonville, the Wynn hasn't seen much action yet and expects a low handle. Bettors have little interest in the game itself. They are unaccustomed to such a wide spread. And the smart money is ready to line up against them. "I can't see anyone making a large wager on Denver, laying that type of points," says Avello. "I don't see it."

I signed up with Apex Merchant Group and I was told the monthly fee was $7.00. My first month I was billed $50. When I called them I was told they would be happy to discount the fee to $40 a month. I tried to explain I was promised a monthly fee of $7.00. I was not happy with that and told them so and that I was probably going to cancel but never did. Within two weeks a collection agency contacted me - I did not owe any money at this time and had not turned in a cancellation notice. I went to my bank and put a stop payment for Apex Merchant Group so they couldn't debit my account.
When the discovered they couldn't take any money out of my account, the collection agency contacted me. I explained that I didn't owe any money and the lady started to laugh. I asked her if she thought this was funny. Turns out the "collection agency" is part of Apex. They debited $586 unde the name of the collection agency and then another $499 under Apex Financial. The $499 was supposedly for non return of equipment. The equipment was returned vis FedEx with the label THEY supplied. It was received at their location 7 days after I received the label. They did recieve the item but refused to refund my money.
I went to my bank to complain and they assured they would look into it and get back to me the next day. The bank never got back to me and never reversed the fraudulant chargers. Yesterday, the bank contacted me by phone and told me they will charge off the money and close my account. After I explained what happened, I was transfered to the investigation department and stated they would send me a form to file a complaint, which I never received. I have now found out they closed my account.
Now, I have no bank account and can't open another one.

I've worked for this company for 3 years and I am surprised to be reading this. In my experience, this company has gone over and beyond to assist merchants. I mean, they aren't perfect, but who is? The important thing is that they are extremely fair and treat their customers very well. It's sad that you misunderstood the contract you signed. But it sounds like the bank agrees that nothing waa fraudulent and therefore could not file any charges. Maybe if you contact the sales office and explain your situation, they can help to rectify the situation. Again, I've had nothing but a positive experience for myself as well as the almost 400 merchants I've helped. Good luck to you.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

We were extracting Friday and in one frame there is a patch (about 2/3 of the frame) that is extremely dark and smells like poop. I'm not joking, it's not dirty sock smell like goldenrod, it's poop. I'm going to cut it out and bring some to EAS.
I've talked to one other beekeeper that says he's found small amounts of the same but neither of us know the source. Any guesses? Does buckwheat have a bad odor before extracting?

GE Dryer - squeaks and eats clothes
Our dryer often squeaks and sometimes catches clothes between the drum and the front. I'm sure I can figure out how to take it apart and put it back together, I'd like to get some idea what parts I need to get beforehand so I am not going back and forth to try to get parts in the middle of the dryer being taken apart. It's a GE dryer model dcvh515ef
replace the drums front top bearing and the 2 glides
Just to close the loop on this in case it turns up in anyone's search, our particular model seems to have 1 of 2 top bearings and ours is the one that most places locally don't carry. It has 4 glides, and those were all pretty much gone, and the top bearing was worn through because we put up with this for a long time. We got a replacement off ebay, and after installing that and all 4 glides, it's quiet and doesn't eat clothes.

Republicans try to beat past tax reform dangers
RALEIGH, N.C. - Republican legislative leaders and Gov. Pat McCrory have been talking up how they want to overhaul North Carolina's tax code this year.
But they are facing obstacles that lawmakers have encountered in the past as the first detailed proposals get scrutinized in the Senate.
Fiscal advocacy groups say proposals either hurt the poor or don't go far enough for job growth. Trade and government associations are criticizing the fine print.
Industry groups don't want to get taxed more or lose their prized loopholes.
And Republicans are still working through what an overhaul would look like. Some Senate Republicans want to start a long-term plan to eliminate all income taxes.
House leaders and McCrory seem to want a more measured approach.

WORCESTER, Mass., Thursday—At noon yesterday, I went to the Girl Scout practice house for lunch. Mrs. Arthur Choate of New York City, Mrs. Frederick Brooke of Washington, and many other Washington Girl Scout executives were there. The photographers who took our pictures, left with the odor of freshly baked rolls in their nostrils and I feel sure they would have liked to remain to eat.
Certainly the home making group here is doing very well, for they served us with a perfect souffle, even though I saw them obliged to open the oven door and keep it open for the benefit of the photographers. I trembled for the souffle's success!
We talked over the new program of work and I was enormously interested in the comprehensive field from which these girls may choose. I like the idea that, after they reach the age of 14, they no longer work for badges, but to obtain a greater skill in any one of the fields which they have tried out and find especially enjoyable.
When the King and Queen of England are over here, the Girl Scouts hope to have some part in their entertainment wherever they go, for the Royal Princesses are members of the Girl Guides.
In the afternoon I received over a thousand young people who will graduate from various Washington schools. They were an attractive young group and moved by with great rapidity, which is a great comfort to anyone who has to stand and receive for a long period. Two other groups were also received.
In the evening I spoke for the National League of Women Voters, who are now holding their general council meeting in Washington. They are emphasizing a general program of expansion with the object of making democracy work by having each individual more conscious of his or her place in it.
We took the midnight train to New York City and, after a brief time at our apartment, during which we had our breakfast, we started off on a drive through Connecticut and Massachusetts. It is a beautiful season to visit this countryside, but I am still reminded of last year's storm when I see how many trees are missing along all these village streets. It takes so long to replace an old tree. It is a loss to more than a generation.
We lunched with some friends, Miss Esther Lape and Miss Elizabeth Read, at Westbrook, Conn., and proceeded to Worcester, Mass., where I give a lecture tonight.
I have just been looking through the manuscript of a book written by a young Washington lawyer, Mr. L. A. Roe, on the parole system. I would be impossible to deny the truth of what he says. He has illustrated his points so well with human interest stories, that I think everyone will find this book interesting and have a better understanding of the real reason for parole.

Ships generate emissions while docked in port by running their auxiliary engines to create onboard electric power. In ports with heavy ship traffic, this practice creates emissions, environmental concerns for the community, and affects worker health.
Many North American cities such as Los Angeles, Long Beach, Seattle, Juneau, and Vancouver have already implemented shore-to-ship power. In addition, several European ports have implemented high voltage shore power supply systems (HVSC) including Gothenburg, Bruges and Antwerp. ABB was the first to deliver a complete HVSC to the Port of Gothenburg in 2000. Shore power is especially useful to ships operating on fixed routes and vessels that consume large amounts of power and emit high levels of air pollutants when berthed. Typical vessel types include ferries, cruise ships, LNG carriers, tankers, and container ships.
As a full-scope supplier, ABB offers turnkey shore connections encompassing fully engineered systems, equipment, and services for a complete shore-to-ship solution. ABB prepares a complete integration and control plan so that installation and commissioning cause minimal interruption to ship operations. The onshore solution includes the entire system from the main incoming substation to the power outlet at the berth. The system includes transformers and frequency converters to match the grid power, voltage and frequency to the ship's onboard power system. ABB`s high-efficiency, low-maintenance frequency converters offer reactive power compensation and voltage control. These features help to reduce energy cost while stabilizing the grid. This solution allows several vessels to be connected simultaneously.

World War II Vet awarded medal by Norway
REXBURG, Idaho - Nearly 70 years after he served, a local World War II veteran was awarded a medal Tuesday.
Madison County native Darrell Neville, 90, was awarded the Norwegian World War II participation medal at the Romance Theater in Rexburg.
Moments after being pinned with the medal, Neville joked about seeing movies in the same theater with his high school sweetheart. Just weeks after graduating Madison High School, the two were married at the Salt Lake City LDS Temple.
"When we got home from being married, I guess the draft board decided if I had time to get married, I had time to go in the Army, so there was my draft notice. I was married the second of June and by the fifth of July I was in the service," said Neville.
He was assigned to be a medic in the U.S. Army's 99th Infantry Battalion.
"It became a decoy for a potential invasion to Norway by setting up officially a Norwegian battalion. U.S. government and President (Franklin) Roosevelt signaled to Adolf Hitler that we have battalions that are aimed for that country," said Capt. Yngve Skoglund, who represented Norway at the ceremony.
In the past several years, Norway has awarded the participation medals to honor those American veterans who helped their country.
"It's a great honor, one thing is presenting the medal, but meeting a gentleman like Darrell Neville, I'm humbled," said Skoglund.
It was an emotional ceremony for Neville's family; one of his six children were among the speakers. Skoglund presented the medal, a certificate, and even chocolate. Rexburg Mayor Richard Woodland gave Neville the key to the city. Local lawmakers also attended, and Idaho Gov. Butch Otter sent a personal letter that was read to celebrate Neville.
"I had no anticipation that it was going to be this big. I had no idea. My son told me it was going to be bigger but I had no idea," said Neville.
Seats were filled nearly to the back row of the Romance Theater, where Neville sat with his wife all those years ago.

That gives the term "cow hide" a new meaning!
Alleged cattle thief tries to squeeze seven calves in Dodge Neon
(6/01/06 - OGDENSBURG, NY) - A man was arrested Wednesday for allegedly stealing seven calves from a Canton farmer, sheriff's deputies said.
Victor R. Gardner, 22, is accused of squeezing seven of the young cattle into the back seat and trunk of a 2000 Dodge Neon. He is charged with third-degree burglary and third-degree grand larceny.
Gardner had the help of an accomplice when he allegedly drove the calves to a barn in DeKalb, St. Lawrence County Sheriff's deputies said.
Two of the calves were sold, the rest are missing and presumed dead.
Gardner, who has a history of burglaries, is being held in St. Lawrence County jail without bail.

"personalized these with a picture of 3 of my kids to send letters to friend about our quick unexpected move. Kids and parents both loved them! They can now be penpals and remember them by the picture!"
"Love this label - it is simple and classy yet unique. I keep using it with updated pictures of my little one. If the color scheme doesn't match the photo, I simply change it to sepia. One note: The label is definitely larger than typical return labels. It doesn't bother me and makes more of a statement, but it may not be ideal for very small envelopes."
"I love the personalized Labels. I would love to see more designs and colors for the personalized labels. I will definitely be ordering more of them."
"I used this design with a personalized photo that we took with our newborn's toes with our wedding bands on them. The design complimented the picture beautifully. We used the return address labels for our Christmas/baby announcements and they added that special touch that I loved!!!!"

A movie was made on this case called, "Gone In The Night."
In 1988 Jaclyn Dowaliby disappeared from her bed and her body was found days later. The family suspected a family member of Jaclyn's natural father, however police focused their attention on David Dowaliby who had adopted Jaclyn, due to a public outcry and wanting to find out who did this and it was politically motivated.
Dowaliby was convicted of murdering Jaclyn and hiding her body, however an appeal's court overturned the verdict in 1992 and Dowalby was released.
Two journalists writing a story about the case uncovered that the alibi given by the suspected family member was no longer viable and police have reopened the case.
Aug. 9, 1997 -- A story was told Friday of two parents wrongly accused in their daughter's murder, two parents whose cries of innocence weren't heeded until one was wrongly convicted and their lives turned upside down.
David Protess, co-author of Gone in the Night, spoke to the Boulder County branch of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar about miscarriages of justice, most notably the 1988 Chicago-area murder of Jaclyn Dowaliby. He was there on the invitation of Boulder lawyer Michael Bynum, who represents John Ramsey's company, Access Graphics, and is a Ramsey family friend.
Protess's talk was timely in light of the unsolved JonBenet Ramsey homicide, in which John and Patsy Ramsey are suspects.
The audience included prosecutors from Boulder District Attorney Alex Hunter's office, as well as two lawyers assisting the Ramseys with their own investigation of the Christmas night slaying.
"There are some obvious parallels'' between the Dowaliby and Ramsey cases, Protess said.
In both cases, only the two parents, a brother and the murdered girl were known to be in the house at bedtime.
In both cases, one or both parents, while protesting their innocence, quickly retained lawyers.
In both cases, the parents became suspects in the girls' murders. One significant difference is that while 7-year-old Jaclyn Dowaliby turned up dead four days after her disappearance in a field 5 miles from home, 6-year-old JonBenet was found strangled in her family's basement.
Society prefers to suspect family members in the cases of murdered children, Protess said.
"It's comforting to think that the parents did it,'' he said. "We don't want to accept that there are predators out there who can break into a home and kill a child.''
On the thinnest of evidence, Protess said, David and Cynthia Dowaliby were arrested and tried for their daughter's murder. Cynthia Dowaliby won a directed verdict of acquittal before the jury began deliberations. But her husband was found guilty and sentenced to 45 years in prison.
It was only through the appeals process that it was revealed three key witnesses had lied, and another had been mistaken in his testimony. David Dowaliby was exonerated.
Protess, a professor at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, said the media was used by Dowaliby investigators to fuel suspicion.
Several tips leaked by police and repeated by the press that were damaging to the Dowalibys -- such as that a basement window was allegedly broken from the inside -- were revealed later to have been lies.
No one else has ever been charged in the murder of Jaclyn Dowaliby.
"The Dowalibys were doubly wronged,'' Protess told the bar association gathering, "first by the killer, then by the authorities.''

As we'd decided to settle at Mae Haad we had two options as to which beach to head for.
The beach at Chalok is the sort of idyllic paradise that comes to mind when you imagine Thai beaches. The sand was soft and golden, the sea calm and blue,
The best thing about Ko Tao though is the snorkeling. We booked on a full day trip and were not disappointed. The water was perfectly calm and translucent and the marine life was fascinating and varied.

What could we do better?
Nestlé is celebrating over 100 years in Egypt by reaffirming a four year CHF 151 million (1 billion Egyptian pounds) investment plan in the country, creating jobs and enabling the company to better serve local consumers.
The investment programme announced in 2011, in the company's existing factories and distribution centres, reflects confidence in the future prospects of a market where Nestlé has been present since the early years of the last century.
Around 200 jobs have been created as a result of the first tranche of investment worth more than CHF 75 million (500 million Egyptian pounds).
The company will invest the remaining CHF 75 million as planned and create more than 300 new jobs by 2014.
"We believe that our long-term presence in this region – in more stable and in more challenging times – and our many investments and initiatives are a clear illustration of our commitment to this country and this region," said Paul Bulcke, Chief Executive Officer for Nestlé.
"These investments will allow us to serve more consumers even better, and to better adapt our products to their needs and aspirations.
"That is why we have invested, and continue to invest, heavily in this country," he added.
Nestlé began selling its products in Egypt over 100 years ago.
Today Nestlé Egypt has three factories, seven distribution centres and employs over 3,000 people.
"These investments will allow us to serve more consumers even better, and to better adapt our products to their needs and aspirations."Paul Bulcke, Chief Executive Officer for Nestlé.
"These investments will allow us to serve more consumers even better, and to better adapt our products to their needs and aspirations."
The investment pledge was reaffirmed at an event in Cairo, the capital of Egypt to mark the company's presence in Egypt for more than 100 years.
Mr Bulcke was joined by Nandu Nandkishore, Head of Zone Asia, Oceania, Africa, and the Middle East, and Suresh Narayanan, Head of the Nestlé North East African Region.
"Egypt plays an important role in our company and we are investing to accelerate our growth in this amazing country," said Mr Nandkishore.
Nestlé Egypt is also continuing to support local communities through its initiatives and programmes.
The company signed a five year partnership with the Ministry of Education to roll out its Abnaa Asehaa project nationally, which is part of its Healthy Kids Global Programme.
The project is helping to raise nutrition, health and wellness awareness through nutrition education and physical activity to over 500,000 children in more than 750 schools in Egypt.

Twenty-four is the new 40.
That is according to researchers at Canada's Simon Fraser University, who have found that measurable declines in cognitive performance begin to occur at age 24. In terms of brainpower, you are over the hill by your mid-20s.
The researchers measured this by studying the performance of thousands of players of Starcraft II, a strategy video game.
If tennis is a hybrid of boxing and chess, as novelist David Foster Wallace held, then Starcraft is a hybrid of boxing, chess, Risk, Monopoly and Candy Crush. The game is incredibly fast-paced and complicated. The goal is to harvest resources, build an army and crush your opponent, who is trying to do the same.
Starcraft players must focus on the long-term goal of building a healthy economy that can sustain an army of hundreds of units, while simultaneously maneuvering and issuing commands to each of those units, often individually.
Because everything happens in real time, the only limit on the performance of players is the speed at which they are able to zip around the playing field and perform actions via their keyboard and mouse.
The game provides a real-world laboratory for testing cognitive ability under pressure. It is used in a University of Florida honours class to teach "critical thinking, problem solving, resource management, and adaptive decision making."
In studying game replays, the researchers at Simon Fraser found that "looking-doing latency" - the delay between when a player looked at a new section of the game field and when they performed an in-game action - is lowest among 24-year-old players.
After 24, that lag only increases as you get older. The researchers calculate that over an average 15-minute game of Starcraft, a 39-year-old player loses 30 seconds to cognitive lag vs. a 24 year old. In a game where performance is measured in hundreds of actions per minute, this is a huge deficit.
Even worse news for those cognitively over the hill is that the researchers have found "no evidence that this decline can be attenuated by expertise."
Yes, you get wiser as you get older, but wisdom does not substitute for speed. At best, older players can only hope to compensate "by employing simpler strategies and using the game's interface more efficiently than younger players," the authors say.
So there you have it. Scientific evidence that people cognitively peak at age 24.
