Olio Nuovo Meets Toast- Fettunta
There is nothing simpler than toast… or as the Italians lovingly call it, Fettunta. And there is no more direct way to savor the flavors and aromas of a good extra-virgin olive oil- especially the Olio Nuovo. Olio Nuovo, or "new" oil is just that- the olives are picked, sorted, placed in brine, and pressed. That's it- just as soon… Read more →

Let us help you find a doctor who can best address your individual needs.
Please provide your email address and we'll be happy to help you find a doctor.
LOS ANGELES, Calif., (May 7, 2012) — Having a confident smile is important at any age, even more so when you grow up in the spotlight. And with fans able to interact with celebrities through photos and video on Dr. Gilbert Snow of Snow Orthodontics who treats a number of young celebrities as part of the Invisalign studio program at his offices in Southern California.
From budding 12-year-old film star Bailee Madison, to Zendaya Coleman from Disney's hit television show "Shake It Up," to Cameron Quiseng from the band Allstar Weekend, Dr. Snow has treated these and many other celebrities with Invisalign to help them achieve their great smiles.
Invisible braces are immensely appealing to young people whose image is their livelihood. According to Dr. Snow, Invisalign is a nearly invisible alternative to traditional wire and bracket braces in which a series of clear aligners move the teeth gradually over time. And unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign is removable for eating, brushing and flossing, which makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.
But Invisalign isn't just for celebrities; treatment is affordable and widely available through a network of Invisalign providers.
"I find that many of my patients want to achieve their own Hollywood smile and, like the celebrities they admire, are looking for a way to straighten their teeth while maintaining their lifestyle and confidence during treatment," said Dr. Snow.
According to Bailee Madison, "Invisible braces are for any active kid nowadays, whether competing in sports, performing on stage or video chatting with your friends. For me Invisalign has been a non-painful treatment that doesn't interfere with my activities."
To learn more about Invisalign and how to get a Hollywood smile of your own, take the smile assessment at Invisalign.com. Visit the Invisalign Teen Facebook Page to check out more Hollywood smiles courtesy of Invisalign, including All Star Weekend's Cameron Quiseng and Michael Martinez; pop singers Jasmine V and Keana Texeira; actresses Ciara Bravo and Tiffany Espensen; and actor and musician Jimmy Bennett.
About Invisalign
Adults and teens now have a modern choice for straightening their teeth. No more wires and brackets required – Invisalign is the clear alternative to metal braces that uses a series of virtually invisible and removable aligners that gradually move teeth over time. The benefits include: no food restrictions, little interference with sports or other activities, and teeth get straightened without most people knowing they are in treatment. Learn more and find a preferred provider at www.invisalign.com. Invisalign and all Invisalign products are designed, manufactured and marketed by Align Technology, Inc. (ALGN), the leader in clear aligner therapy. Align Technology was founded in March 1997 and received FDA clearance to market Invisalign in 1998. Today the Invisalign product family includes Invisalign Full, Invisalign Teen, Invisalign Assist, Invisalign Express and Vivera Retainers.

the morning routine
Three more kids arrived at breakfast. There was Jane, an african american girl with a gorgeous hairdo, and Max (who was quickly dubbed Max number two, since there was already a Max), and a tiny little girl called Megan. All the names were rather confusing. As well as the two Maxes, there was an Emma and an Emily, a Megan and a Maggie. And Elizabeth couldn't remember if the girl with the long blond hair or the one with the pixie cut was named Anna.
They woke up early, because Maureen and Yolanda were morning people- and by morning people I mean people who yell and throw things at sleepers at five in the morning. After that it was hard to go back to sleep, so everyone got up and got dressed.
Last night, everyone except Maggie and Elizabeth had been wearing matching pajamas- white with blue stripes. It was a bit odd, but there were a lot weirder things going on, So Elizabeth didn't really notice. Maggie did, but she didn't say anything. Maggie never really said anything, though she did seem to be more aware of the world now that magic was going on.
There was a huge wardrobe in the room. Maureen gaily flung it open. Elizabeth wasn't sure what she had been expecting. Maybe good clothes for fighting daemons. Or all black like the Elementia wore.
Inside were the most fabulous ball gowns and dresses she had ever seen. There were dresses that looked like Marie Antoinette could have worn them. There were flapper dresses, and outfits straight from the 50's. There were grand gowns that princesses wore, and scarves and hats and wigs and shoes were everywhere.
It was paradise.
Now Elizabeth understood why everyone had been so eager to get up. There a few fights over some of the finery, but the wardrobe would produce another dress- flung out by Maureen, who seemed to be in charge- and everyone would laugh.
After trying on a ballgown with a tight corset, Elizabeth decided that she would go as a flapper. She pulled a faint blue gown. Little sparkles and tassels hung from the end. She chose some sparkling heels, like Cinderella's, to go with it. She wobbled a bit.
She put her hair up but left little curls hanging around her face. She put on a charming little cap and gloves and a glorious fuzzy purple scarf. It didn't really match. Then she added huge gold earrings and bangles. Yolanda was doing make-up, which Elizabeth felt a little silly in, but how often do you celebrate in Blotch, anyway? She had a little eyeshadow, then looked in the mirror. She did not quite look like a flapper, or even a real person. But she like dit anyway.
Maggie, to everyone's surprise, got really into it. She gave fashion advice to everyone but could make no decisions herself. At last she chose a minty green dress with hoop skirts. She put her hair in a sloppy ponytail, and then to top it off, wore the highest heels anyone had ever seen. She was taller than everyone else, but somehow didn't wobble at all. Her skirt did, though, and as it was a few inches above the ground (the clothes fit everyone perfectly) it did look sort of funny.
The girls headed downstairs, Emma in the lead. She was wearing a long purple train, so everyone sort of tripped and fell into the kitchen.

What to keep in mind when buying intimate wear online
1 Measure it up: Be sure of your size before you start buying. Since you can't try out your options, carefully see product details and specifications, so you make the right choice.
2 Keep colours in mind: Don't forget that most styles are available in different colours. A product may look completely different in another colour.
3 Budget-wise: It is advisable to set a budget before sitting to shop. But, it's okay to splurge a little for that little number you always wanted.
4 Browse well: Take time to browse through the website and read about its delivery time, return policies, conditions, contact information and size charts. Remember, many websites don't let you exchange lingerie.
5 Check specifications: Check the product in zoom-mode carefully and take note of the fabric, brand, quality etc. It'll give you an idea about how the product's texture is, virtually. You might be allergic to certain fabrics, so do ensure your picks are not made of such material.

The rate at which prison governors have to call in the "riot squad" to deal with disturbances and protests inside has risen sharply this year, according to justice ministry figures.
Prison managers called out the national tactical response group 151 times during the first nine months of this year. This compares with it being called 129 times in the whole of 2012, and is higher than the monthly rate seen in 2010 when staff from the response group were called in 118 times.
The group is a specialist unit to help public and private prisons resolve serious incidents. It also supports the Tornado response teams under which trained staff from nearby jails help with the most serious incidents.
This evidence of a much greater turbulence inside the prison system across England and Wales comes after justice ministers announced a consultation on plans to close five dedicated young offender institutions which hold only 18- to 20-year-olds.
Announcing plans to move them to adult prisons, the justice minister, Jeremy Wright, said: "When large numbers of people in this age group are held together they can become so volatile it becomes difficult for staff to manage them."
The shadow justice secretary, Sadiq Khan, said: "The true scale of the growing crisis in our prisons on Chris Grayling's watch is laid bare in this information I have uncovered. In the first eight months of this year, there'd been more prison disturbances severe enough to call out the specialist response team than in the whole of 2012. And if the number of disturbances continue at this level for the rest of this year, there'll have been a doubling over the three years of this Tory-led government."
He said prisons were more overcrowded and dangerous than they were three years ago partly as a result of prisoners spending too much time "festering in their cells" instead of working or attending training courses: "All this government's talk of a rehabilitation revolution is but a distant memory."
But the prisons minister, Jeremy Wright, said staff from the national tactical response group had been called to attend incidents "at only 45% of the total number of establishments in the past year, illustrating that the majority of prisons have not required assistance".
He said the number of callouts had been "fairly consistent" between 2010 and now but acknowledged there had been a slight rise in recent months. "This is mainly due to minor incidents such as prisoners protesting by climbing on to the netting between landings."
Wright said such protests had made up two-thirds of the incidents to which the squad had been called out over the past year, many of them only as a precaution. added that 75% of the 151 incidents in the first nine months of this year had been resolved by the prisoners involved surrendering.

One night, at dinner, Michele introduces me to a colleague of his, Paolo. Paolo is inhumanly hirsute and, since easy company does not appeal to me at the best of times, the feeling is exacerbated when he reveals himself to have an asinine sense of humour, too. It transpires that I, conversely, do appeal to him. Well, these things happen. The evening ends without event and off Paolo goes.
Cut to the dead of night. I'm asleep in my bedroom, which, because of an unusual layout, can be accessed only from outside. I'm awoken by the sound of a terrifying, animal-like groaning accompanied by someone/thing scratching and pounding on the door. I break into a copious sweat, for it can only be Cicci. Oh God, I cry, to meet my end at the hands of a maniac! The scratching and the groaning increase with my howls. The door shakes, it's going to give way any minute and then . . . oh the horror! I break into heaving sobs.
At which point I hear a voice saying, 'Hey, it's only me, Paolo, I thought it'd be funny if I pretended to be Cicci.' Naturally, after that experience, I immediately saw his huge charm, which had hitherto evaded me.

ANSWER: Jesus does appear in the Quran (Koran), but He is not especially important to Muslims compared to Muhammad. That is, Muslims look upon him (Issa) nearly the way Christians perceive the prophets Isaiah or Moses. They believe he is an important true prophet, but not the Son of God, not part of the Godhead and not the Savior of mankind.
In the New Testament, Jesus is the central Personage of the book. The four Gospels are records of His actions and teachings in detail. By contrast, in the Quran (Koran), He is mentioned in only 74 verses out of 6,236 total verses, and 42 of those are indirect references (Ron Rhodes, "Reasoning from the Scriptures with Muslims," page 132).
Let us look at a few of these verses in the Koran that mention Christ. Sura 4:169 denies that He is the Son of God and denies that He is God.
|"The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, is only an apostle of God, and His word which He conveyed into Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Himself. Believe therefore in God and his apostles, and say not, 'Three:' (there is a Trinity) - Forbear - it will be better for you. God is only one God! Far be it from His glory that He should have a son!" (Sura 4:169)
Because Muslims believe God is only one Person, they adamantly deny the traditional Christian teaching that Christ is God. God and Christ are One, a teaching they do not understand. Sura 3:51 teaches the Lord was a man just like Adam.
|"Verily, Jesus is as Adam in the sight of God. He created him of dust: He then said to him, 'Be' - and he was" (Sura 3:51)
By contrast, John 1:1, 14 teach that the Messiah is God and the Son of God: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . . And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us (and we ourselves beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten with the Father), full of grace and truth" (HBFV translation). These verses teach that Christ was both Man and God at the same time while He walked the earth.
Muslims also deny in the Quran that Jesus died or that He was crucified, based upon Sura 4:155 - 156.
"And for their unbelief, - and for their having spoken against Mary a grievous calumny, - And for their saying, 'Verily we have slain the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, an apostle of God.' yet they slew him not, and they crucified him not, but they had only his likeness. And they who differed about him were in doubt concerning him: No sure knowledge had they about him, but followed only an opinion, and they did not really slay him, but God took him up to Himself. And God is mighty, wise!" (Sura 4:155 - 156)
Perhaps Muhammad here was influenced by some kind of Gnostic teaching first taught centuries earlier. The four Gospels are very clear that Christ was killed by crucifixion, and that His death was not miraculously prevented. Rather, after He died, He was miraculously resurrected back to life again. Ironically, it seems that the book contradicts itself in this regard, since Sura 4:48 reads as follows.
"Remember when God said, 'O Jesus! Verily I will cause thee to die, and will take thee up to Myself and deliver thee from those who believe not" (Sura 4:48)
The Quran also teaches that He did miracles in Sura 5:110. In this regard, it agrees with the New Testament.
"Thou didst heal the blind and the leper, by My leave; and when, by My leave, thou didst bring forth the dead."
In conclusion, the Quran (Koran) definitely mentions Jesus, but its teachings about him often contradict what the Bible teaches. Since the New Testament was written by first century followers of the Messiah, it is a much more reliable witness to what he did and what His followers taught about him than someone "reciting" about him over five centuries later who never knew Him personally (as is the case with Muhammad). For further study on this fascinating topic please see books such as Robert Morey's "Islamic Invasion" or Norman Geisler and Abdul Saleeb's "Answering Islam: The Crescent in Light of the Cross."

Corporate Advocacy Program™
We originally bought 24,000 points in what was then called La Jolla in 2009 and were happy with the facility itself. It is quiet, the service personnel were friendly, the other guests were nice and it was generally a good experience. However, as a part of the sales pitch, the company offered to sell a different timeshare we owned an apply the proceeds to the purchase price. They failed to make any effort do this or to rent our week if we chose not to use it in a given year. They did not do that either.. We visited the resort in December 2013 to make a reservation for December 2014. Instead of making the reservation the sales person ( a man who identified himself as Michael) claimed to be one of the owners and informed us that La Jolla no longer existed as such and was now named Punta Pacifico. According to Michael ( who we later discovered was a convicted felon named Vladimir) we were required to execute a replacement contract to maintain our points. It turned out this was a complete lie and the resort stole near $10,000 from us in the process. Some existing owners approached us and told a similar tale. We immediately cancelled the contract according to Mexican law and contacted Profeco it initiate recovery of our money. We also called our credit card company to claim a fraudulent transaction. As of this writing the matter remains unresolved, but we expect to lose our money as Profeco has no real enforcement authority.

#1 Consumer Comment
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 01, 2017POSTED: Wednesday, March 01, 2017
I've spent a lot of money and i was scammed by other companies trying to cancel my timeshare. My advice is that if you're going to hire a company to help you with the problem, DO NOT PAY ANYTHING UPFRONT, because it use to be a fraud. I did a research on internet and i found some interesting articles, i recommend you to read this one:
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?

House price loophole to be closed
The South Australian Government says it will fix a loophole which is letting some real estate agents underquote house prices.
The Government cracked down on unethical real estate practices back in 2007 but the SA Consumer Affairs Minister John Rau says some agents have been getting around the changes by using ambiguous language, such as $500,000+ or mid-500s.
"There's never been a system devised that doesn't have somebody trying to work a way around it," he said.
Real Estate Institute's CEO Greg Troughton is pleased the laws will be tightened: "So that consumers can have some better confidence in what they're looking at and the likely price."
Other changes will allow a vendor and agent to extend a sales agreement beyond the standard 90 days.

Detectives investigating the disappearance of the chef Claudia Lawrence have sealed off a pub and arrested a 46-year-old man on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
Officers have been searching The Acomb pub in York, which is thought to be one of the places she socialised in the months before she vanished in 2009, since 8am on Wednesday morning.
Local people watched in the hot sun as uniformed officers guarded the perimeter of the building, which has a bookmakers business on one side and a children's play area at the rear.
Other officers could be seen working inside the building and taking objects out into waiting vehicles.
Some of the things brought out appeared to be doors wrapped in plastic.
A North Yorkshire police spokesman said: "The man is currently being interviewed in custody while searches and forensic inquiries are conducted in relation to the investigation."
The force said the investigation was "very much active" and that there was the possibility that further arrests would be made.
The force reminded the media not to publish information which might compromise the inquiry or the legal rights of people involved in the proceedings.
A spokesman said Lawrence's father Peter hoped the latest development was significant.
Family friend Martin Dales said: "Peter remains very grateful for all the hard work that North Yorkshire police are continuing to put in to finding Claudia.
"It is to be hoped that this is another vital piece in the jigsaw of information that needs to come in to the police. It is much better if people volunteer information than wasting valuable police time in them having to find it out for themselves and then come looking for people."
A 59-year-old York man, named locally as former lab technician Michael Snelling, was arrested in May on suspicion of Lawrence's murder. He was re-bailed last month.
Lawrence worked in the kitchen at York University and was 35 when she went missing.
She was last seen at around 3pm on 18 March 2009 as she made her way home from her shift. Her father reported her missing two days later.
It is believed something happened to her as she left for work early on 19 March.
Since the fifth anniversary of her disappearance new lines of inquiry have emerged, but her body has never been found.
North Yorkshire police launched a review of the investigation last year and carried out a detailed re-examination of Lawrence's home.
Detectives launched a fresh appeal for information on the BBC's Crimewatch programme on the fifth anniversary of her disappearance.
New lines detectives have explored include two unknown vehicles, one of them a car seen near Lawrence's home, and the disclosure of mystery fingerprints found in her flat.
Victor Overall, 68, who lives opposite the pub, said he noticed the police arrive between 7.30am and 8am today. He said: "We thought it must be something more serious than a robbery at the bookies, with all these police and the CSI and everything, but never in our wildest dreams did we think it was anything to do with Claudia Lawrence."
Overall, who has lived in his house for 20 years, said the pub used to have a bad reputation but it has been "turned around" by the current landlord over the last few years. "We can't believe what's happening so close to our own home," he said. "We've lived here 20 years and there have been occasions in the past, as there are in all pubs, when things get rowdy and the police get called. So we've seen the odd police car over there but never anything like this amount."

Robert Keith Bullough ("Robin"), who has died at the age of 78, was a mathematical physicist best known as one of the discoverers of the soliton, a remarkable kind of self-reinforcing and solitary wave. Bullough proposed the idea of a soliton-based transmission system to increase performance of optical telecommunications and this is now commonly used in trans-oceanic optical fibre communication. His discoveries also led to revolutions in nonlinear mathematics and nonlinear physics and may ultimately play a role in the new sciences of quantum computing.
Bullough, whose parents were Quakers, attended Newcastle High School before leaving at 16 with a scholarship to Emmanuel College, Cambridge. National Service in the RAF intervened in 1948-49 and just three days before demobilisation he was blinded in one eye. Nevertheless, he went on to study a BA in Natural Sciences. This led to postgraduate work at Leeds and a first job in rayon research. In 1961 he moved to a lectureship at UMIST and was promoted to the Chair of Mathematical Physics in 1973. Since his retirement in 1995 he had held a position as Emeritus Professor at Manchester University.
Bullough was a great traveller, starting with pre-war holidays with his parents in the Austrian Alps, at a time when overseas travel was unknown to most. He was to develop a passion for mountaineering and had a particular fascination for the early Victorian alpinists, building a remarkable collection of books from this era. However, in the early 1970s Bullough developed chronic asthma, which severely curtailed physical activity.
Nonetheless, he travelled widely across Europe, the Middle East, the Americas, India, the Soviet Union and China before the economic boom. He was impressed by the intellectual talent he found in the developing world and became mentor to many international students. His journeys could never have been undertaken without the unstinting support of his wife and travel companion, Louise, who was a native of Denmark. This was a country to figure prominently in his early career; he worked in Copenhagen with Léon Rosenfeld, one of the pioneers of modern quantum mechanics.
Bullough's extensive work led him towards novel problems in nonlinear and quantum optics. He discovered spectacular phenomena such as transmission of light through a dispersive medium without any attenuation, which became known as self-induced transparency. In addition he worked out conditions under which light can essentially be brought to a standstill by interaction with a dispersive medium. He was very much ahead of his time: these problems only became fashionable 30 years later.
In recognition of his work he was honoured to give the Special Foundation Lecture at the Quantum Electronics and Photonics Conference held at the University of Manchester in 1999. Only Steven Chu, Nobel Laureate and recently nominated Energy Secretary in the new Obama administration, was similarly honoured at this conference.
From being one of the founders of soliton theory, Bullough continued to work on associated problems for the rest of his career, even having ideas on quantum computing; but in this area he did not have time to realise his dreams. While Bullough continued to work hard almost to the end of his life, in his last two years the onset of dementia made it increasingly difficult to remain focused. He leaves a wife and two sons.

It's amazing how organization can improve your life and give you much more time to enjoy life's little pleasures. Organizing your work schedule can really help you to ease your burdens and make life a little easier. Not only will you enjoy a smoother running day, but you will see that work will seem more like play once you have organized your schedule properly.
Here are 5 effective tips for organizing your work schedule to help you get started:
- The first thing you want to look at is any areas where you could save time by rearranging or repositioning any of your work items. One example of this would be moving your file cabinet closer to your desk, or even moving the coffee maker within an arm's reach if you spend a lot of time going back and forth getting coffee. It's amazing how much time can be added to your day just by moving a few things in more convenient and easily accessible areas. Once you have everything set up for fast access, you will have more time to work with regarding your work schedule.
- One of the best things you can do with regards to organizing your work schedule is to be sure you are setting yourself up for success and not failure. You can do this by making a realistic list of the things you need to accomplish and list them in an order which allows you to complete the simplest ones first. This way, you will get down your list faster and even if you can't finish the last thing on your list, at least all the others will be done.
- Pay attention to the times of the day where everything slows down a bit. If you are able to, you should try to schedule any breaks or your lunch period during the slow times. This will help you to be more productive during your work day.
- You should try to organize your work schedule in a manner which makes your work tasks flow so you can move from one to the other with ease. An example of this would be taking care of all your desk tasks first, and then move on to the other tasks which have you away from your desk. This way, you aren't wasting time going back and forth from area to area. Plus, it makes it easier for you to mentally stay focused and this means getting your tasks done easier and with less effort.
- If you are able to make your own work schedule you should make it so it fits easily into your lifestyle. Also, you may want to leave yourself a weekday free so you can schedule all your non-work related tasks on that day. This way, doctor's appointments, banking, and other tasks won't take time away from your work and require you to miss any hours. By organizing your work schedule correctly you will see you feel less stress and have more time for yourself.

Symmetric About a Wonky Axis
Our lives,
though they do at times seem tangled,
frazzled and chaotic and unmatched,
are symmetric about a wonky axis,
curving and veering and returning and nearing
and ever in order, that is,
from the current perspective.
I'm happy to live on a line like that,
weaving through other people's lines and such.
It's delightfully confusing and it makes me wonder,
wasn't there a plan?
at one time? a direction, a vector of sorts?
But it's more like a wave,
like a field of directions,
crossing and merging and
but never impacting.
Never impacting,
and I guess that's the reason we live like this
without knowing, without planning,
without thinking.
So as I waft in this obvious direction
with no clue as to whether or where I'll continue,
I know at least that however far away I pull from you,
I will with equal and opposite tenacity
launch back towards you, and
you to me.
And perhaps in this knowledge I can relax my fears
and follow this axis of ours
to its logical end.
Whatever that would mean within this metaphor.

Bad Network Connection?
So, I have a linksys WRT54G2 wireless router. I set it up on the PS3 and everything looks ok ( 100% signal strength, NAT type 2). As soon as i try to play any game online, there is just unbearable lag. I just don't understand what is going on and would really apprieciate some help. Thank you in advance .
Re: Bad Netwokr Connection?
The upload speed is rather low.
I would think you'd want at least 400-500kbps for a good gaming experience. You can do it with less, but there will be more lag.
Re: Bad Netwokr Connection?
Do a speedtest.net on your PC and see what the results are there.
If you get more or less the same results, then it's something your ISP can probably increase for an increased monthly fee...
Re: Bad Netwokr Connection?
sucks to hear - but could be your internet provider- there is a post about how to speed it up in this forum--should still be on front page
EDIT heres the link and good luck
Re: Bad Network Connection?
You mentioned signal strength 100%, I am assuming your using your PS3 wirelessly .. . In a word Dont ! Plug it in to the router. Data encription over wireless will drop your throughput drastically, and your allready dealing with a reduced rate over G wireless 54mbps at best.

Euro plunges after LTRO 2
The euro unexpectedly fell from three-month high versus the greenback after the ECB provided higher-than expected cheap loans to European financial institutions.
The ECB allotted 800 European banks with 529.5 billion euros for 1,092 days in a second round of its Long-Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO) compared with 489 billion euros in the first round launched in December, beating forecasts of 470 billion euros.
The second wave of cheap loans is predicted to boost demand for the region's assets, where banks to invest in high-yielding assets. However, the euro fell against majors after the announcement.
Despite the success of the first round of stimulus, there are no signs that there could be a third tranche. If number one was a success and number two was a success, that doesn't mean there has to be number three, ECB council member Ewald Nowotny said on Feb. 27.
Meanwhile, the EUR/USD pair is trading around 1.3432 after it touched a high of 1.3485, while the day's high was recorded at 1.3422.
The trading range for today is among key support at 1.3250 and key resistance at 1.3700.
The U.S. dollar, on the other hand, rebounded slightly a against a basket of major currencies as it rose to 78.30 after touching a low of 78.08, according to the six-currency gauge the dollar index.
Against the yen, the greenback pared its earlier advance to trade around 80.50, where the day's high was seen at 80.69 while the low was touched at 80.23.
The trading range for today is among key support at 78.60 and key resistance now at 81.65.
Later in the day, eyes will be on U.S. annualized GDP for the fourth quarter (second reading).
Moving to the British pound, it rose sharply to three-month high versus the greenback after the better-than-expected Mortgage approvals and consumer confidence data.
U.K. Mortgage Approvals for the month of January soared to 58.7 from a revised of 55.0, which was 52.9 initially, while analysts referred to a decline to 54.0.
Meanwhile, the GBP/USD is trading around 1.5940 after touching a high of 1.5957 and a low of 1.5895, where the breach of SMA 200 around 1.5820 levels paved the way for further advance.
The trading range for today is among key support at 1.5730 and key resistance at 1.6165.

It is my pleasure to be here this morning to welcome you to NIST and our "Pervasive Computing 2002" conference. The conference is sponsored by NIST and the American Telemedicine Association and is the third in a series of conferences aimed at understanding the issues involved in the effective use of Pervasive Computing technologies in all aspects of modern life.
For those of you unfamiliar with NIST, our mission is clear and simple: to develop and promote measurement, standards, and technology to enhance productivity, facilitate trade, and improve the quality of life. Our primary customers are U.S. industry and the taxpayers. NIST carries out its mission in four cooperative programs:
- the Baldrige National Quality Program, which promotes performance excellence among U.S. manufacturers, service companies, educational institutions, and health care providers; conducts outreach programs and manages the annual Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award which recognizes performance excellence and quality achievement;
- the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, a nationwide network of local centers offering technical and business assistance to smaller manufacturers;
- the Advanced Technology Program, which accelerates the development of innovative technologies for broad national benefit by co-funding R&D partnerships with the private sector; and
- the NIST Laboratories, conducting research that advances the nation's technology infrastructure and is needed by U.S. industry to continually improve products and services.
The Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) is sponsoring this conference. ITL has an excellent track record of working with industry to help them solve both general and unique challenges with respect to effectively using information technology. An Advanced Technology Program representative will also talk about ATP funding opportunities in Pervasive Computing and related areas.
Pervasive Computing is an emerging field of computing that will impact industry, government and daily life much as the personal computing revolution did. It consists of three major components: pervasive devices, pervasive communications and pervasive interaction. Each of these components works in synergy to give pervasive computing its unique qualities. Pervasive devices are essentially computers and sensors embedded in devices, appliances, equipment, homes, workplaces and factories, and clothing, to create artifacts that respond to human needs. Pervasive communication means that there will be a high degree of communication among devices and sensors through a ubiquitous and secure wired and wireless network infrastructure. Pervasive interaction promises to bring more natural and humane modes of interacting with information technology.
This year, we have emphasized the use of Pervasive Computing technology in healthcare and related fields because we believe it to be a particularly fertile area for the emergence of Pervasive Computing. NIST has been engaged for a while now in a long-term strategic planning exercise to map out our priorities and goals for the next decade. As part of that effort, we have identified Healthcare as one of several Strategic Focus Areas. These Focus Areas are broad, cross-disciplinary areas in which we feel NIST as a whole has the greatest potential to improve its impact on productivity, market access, and public benefit. Moreover, they are areas that are aligned with long-term market trends and customer interests.
Although the healthcare industry is one of the major industries in the United States, it has been one of the slowest to embrace information technologies in its operations. According to a report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Health and Healthcare 2010, "the first major area where information technology can affect health care is in the automation of basic business practices and electronic commerce. As approximately 30% of healthcare costs are administration related, movement towards more automated electronic commerce is one way to help contain costs." National health expenditures are estimated at about fifteen percent of GDP, by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Moreover, medical cost increases are outpacing inflation, so health care providers face pressure for greater efficiency. Availability of powerful PDAs, wireless networking, mobility management middleware, and numerous medical applications are driving rapid deployment of pervasive computing in health care delivery. Recent studies indicate that up to twenty percent of practitioners now use palmtops, and a vibrant medical specialty sector has emerged; with hundreds of palmtop medical applications now available. But many issues remain in patient privacy, usability, efficiency, and effectiveness of the new systems.
The agenda for the conference covers a number of key areas with respect to Pervasive Computing, and you as participants can play a key role in these areas. This conference provides an ideal opportunity to cultivate partnerships that will make a difference - either enabling something to happen that wouldn't otherwise happen or accelerating existing advances in a meaningful way. I thank you for being here today ... and look forward to collectively pursuing ways to fulfill the research and technical needs of the pervasive computing and healthcare communities.
I hope you have an informative 2 days. Thank you.

I have to come up with anotherbig team talk today. We are playing Manchester City, probably the biggest mismatch in football – little Blackpool against all those millionaires.
If it was a boxing match, they would be giants and we'd be tiny people swinging and punching at their ankles. Hopefully we'll be able to leap up and occasionally smash them in the face but it won't be easy.
Then again Liverpool were expected to beat us and we won there so why not pull off another shock? A few of the players have mentioned my team talk before the Liverpool game. Ian Evatt, our big centre-half, said it made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. Good. That's what I'm after, and it obviously had the right effect.
I'm not going to tell you what I said because it is between me and my players but getting the team talk right can be vital.
The best I ever heard as a player was from Gerry Francis at QPR. He wasn't happy with us because we had forgotten what he had asked us to do as a group. He went round every one of us in the dressing room and asked what we were doing before we came to his club. People were mumbling things like "erm, I was at Brentford and it wasn't going well". He said, "Right, well shut up then." He then looked at all of us and said he wasn't trying to be clever but that we all had to learn together.He said his last gig hadn't gone too well either, he'd been sacked by Exeter. But the fact he came out with all this, and the way he said it, galvanised us and improved our game.
I think you play more for a manager you respect because you realise you are in it together. I hope my players realise that because we need togetherness more than anyone else. I'm just glad I can give a team talk. I am serving a one-match touchline ban after being found guilty of improper conduct. Thankfully I can go in the dressing room before the game, at half-time and afterwards, I just can't go anywhere near the touchline, so I'll have to watch it from the directors' box, which I hate doing. At my hearing in London on Monday I got told I broke rule E3 apparently, for some comments I made to the ref after our game with Blackburn. As well as the ban I got hit with a £9,500 fine, which is a lot of money.
But I have to swallow the medicine and get on with it. I know the rules and good God I'm a 47-year-old man so I should be able to keep my temper when I don't get what I want
But unfortunately I am still very childish – I blame my mum, she must have spoilt me as a kid! – and I've got to change. My wife Kim isn't very happy with me and I can understand that. It is incredibly hard not to lose your rag sometimes when you don't get what you want. I've been like that all my life. When I don't get what I want, I'm not very nice.
Some people call it small-man syndrome. Perhaps that is true. I'm a Jack Russell but I think I'm a Rott-weiler. I'm a little bloke with a lot to say. Sometimes I forget what I'm saying and to who, and the fact is we use industrial language in this business. I'm not proud of it but that's the way it is. Maybe I'm going to have to learn to change but it's not easy when you can't believe what you're seeing – and believe me that has happened a few times this season.
Is the odd swear word from myself really a crime when we have got things like simulation going on in the game? Apparently it is and so I have to learn how to behave.
I wouldn't want Mancini's job
Would I want to manage Manchester City? No, I am happy where I am. It is all right having loads of money but it doesn't mean you will be successful, and all the money they are spending means there is massive pressure on Roberto Mancini. If he leaves one of his big stars out and they don't like it and the team get a bad result, that star might mouth off and become bigger than him. But Mr Mancini wanted that challenge. He took the job and he knows the price to be paid if he isn't successful.
I respect him for what he has won in Italy and he has already proved he is a really good manager. I respect him for taking the City job and accepting the challenge but I wouldn'twant his job because I understand what it comes with.
What City can't buy is history. They have to deal with a new way of life and both the players and the fans have to deal with a new set of expectations.
The fans now want to beat Manchester United as soon as they can. They are almost expecting it. That brings pressure, and all that pressure has to go somewhere. It's a great story for us all to watch but who knows how it will turn out?
I'm just glad I'm not in Mr Mancini's shoes... although he has got a cracking pair. He has to be the trendiest manager in the game by a mile!
England were so boring that I went on eBay to buy a table!
I do not like saying this but the truth is I was so bored watching the England game the other night I went on ebay to buy a table.
I've not lost interest in the national team but it is so poor atthe moment. What I saw against Montenegro wasn't enjoyable at all.
I had to go on the computer to get away from it because if I hadn't, I would have got angry with what I was witnessing. I didn't like how we were playing and wondered why we weren't doing certain things. We looked very bitty and not a unit. To break anybody down you have to move and I was gutted with the lack of movement.
I was a midfielder and even I know you have to pass and move. I didn't see that from our midfield. It was a bad performance all round.
21-carat Gould
Bobby Gould has an autobiography out and I get a few mentions. He was one of the first managers I had at Bristol Rovers and he was great.
I probably owe him an apology because I was trying to get in the team and was a frustrated young fella so I must have been an absolute nightmare to manage. He was probably the most enthusiastic man I've ever seen in my life. I remember it snowing really heavily once and he walked in. It was a 10-mile walk and when he arrived he had a big pile of snow on his head.
Only four of us got in, and he was fuming that people were beeping him and yet no one stopped to pick him up. We were saying, "Why didn't you bring the car?" He said he couldn't get off the drive, so him being him he walked in. And when he got in he just said, "You can all go home because we can't do anything today." And I said, "Well why did you bother to walk in?!"
I'll never forget Gouldy screaming at Gary Penrice, who had come from non-League, saying: "You're going to run round this pitch, you're going to do it in 60 seconds and I don't care how long it takes." Penny kept swearing at him and telling him where to go. So in the end Gouldy was running round with him and as he got across the line he went "59... 60". We all knew it was nowhere near that time but he couldn't be seen to lose. That was just him.
We didn't have pre-match meals because we were skint but he never moaned. We all knew we were Rag Arse Rovers but we got on with it.
Even now he is the only person I know who calls me "Hollie". He used to get everybody's name wrong and I'm not sure he didn't do it deliberately.
Gouldy had to put up with my attitude, moaning about life being unfair. He must have despised me at the time, thinking about it. But it was all part of my learning curve and I'd like to thank him because he was a fantastic fella. He's grey as a badger now, and that is down to managing the likes of myself.
