Outlook Another day another report of transport misery brought about by the snow. And, amid a rising tide of criticism British Airways and BAA, the airports operator, are indulging in the time honoured tactic of blaming each other.
Perhaps the only surprise in the whole sorry affair is that it's taken them this long to trot out such a sorry old tactic.
There are two major problems with the transport industry. One is having quarterly results fixated private companies providing essential services that usually require long-term strategic thinking and lots of investment. That's not easy to fix given that it requires action from politicians with both vision and a degree of common sense (good luck).
The other problem – and it applies to the railways, the airlines and airports, and even bus and coach operators – is that those companies treat their customers not as valued commodities, but as an inconvenience.
The most egregious example of this is the way passengers have been kept on planes and warned that they will be arrested under terrorism laws if they attempt to disembark. Cue the cries of "it's the airlines fault" "it's the airport's fault". But there are plenty of others. How about the rail operating companies that, on busy commuter routes, cut the number of carriages on trains where passengers are already jammed in like sardines. Or the bus companies which shrug their shoulders when their drivers treat people with small children and prams with a quite astonishing level of rudeness.
All of these examples – and there are many others – stem from the same root cause. That is, a complete lack of any incentive to do better. The structure of each industry means it is the company, not the consumer, that holds the whip hand. If you don't like the treatment you get at Tesco, you can probably find a Sainsbury's nearby, or an Asda, or a Waitrose or a Morrisons. Although it is more difficult it is still possible to dump your bank if it treats you badly. It is even possible to find better service (I can testify to this from personal experience having dropped part of Lloyds in favour of Yorkshire Bank).
But with transport companies, this is all but impossible. You want to fly long haul? You're inevitably driven towards Heathrow, and you're very likely to end up with BA, which has more take-off and landing slots than anyone else. Consolidation among airlines (BA, Iberia, and American Airlines are soon to be either allied or one company) only makes this worse. As for the trains, unless you're very lucky you'll likely be stuck with one operator or the car. Which, if you happen to be travelling into London or many other metropolitan centres, is really no choice at all. Ditto buses.
This situation is not just annoying and frustrating (heartbreaking when you look at some of the stories from this month's disaster) it's bad for the economy and bad for business generally. Many foreign firms cite the shoddy transport infrastructure as one of reason for not coming here. But what can you do of you can't hit a company in the pocket? Shrug shoulders and say "mustn't grumble eh"?
Well, here's the interesting thing about public relations. Executives generally pay a close attention to their public image. They pay vast amounts of money to consultancies and advisers (and lawyers) to protect themselves (sometimes their companies) from criticism. So perhaps embarrassing them can work the oracle. Many of the companies in sectors mentioned above have annual meetings, and you only need a single share to attend and ask a question (they're usually good for a free lunch too). It might not bring about an immediate change (transport companies have proved to be stubbornly awful for a long time) but they do enable people to hold executives to account for their action or, more likely, inaction. Mustn't grumble? We need to start.Reuse content

I have been a Santander customer of nearly 30 years. My late uncle had also been a longstanding Santander customer. I am the sole executor of my late uncle's estate but also have a few beneficiaries I have to make payments to, and I want to keep all the financial matters relating to the estate separate from my personal accounts.
I have been told Santander does not operate executors' accounts. I find this really hard to accept: when a client needs its bank the most, it refuses to help. It also seems very short-sighted as there is a substantial amount of money involved. I am now contemplating moving my current and savings account from Santander. DT, Devon
You were told the wrong thing by the branch staff, for which Santander has apologised. It said it is "reviewing the information we provide to branches". More importantly, it has now opened the account and sent you flowers to apologise for any distress and inconvenience caused. You say you are happy with this outcome.

Jams, Marmalades, Fruit Sauces, and Chutneys
Handcrafted preserves using homegrown and market fresh fruits. Country goodness for the urban palate.
About Us
Jam I am
is the creation of Carolyn Cooper who, prior to setting up shop, had been canning and "putting up" homemade jams, preserved fruits and chutneys since the late 1970's. A native Californian and Angeleno, Carolyn grew up as a "city girl" but always had a little streak of country in her. During her college years she participated in a community garden growing her own vegetables, and now maintains an edible urban garden at her home in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles.
The inspiration for Jam I am
can be traced to the Santa Rosa plum tree that Carolyn's son Michael helped plant when he was four years old. After Michael left for college and the tree started yielding more than 70 jars of jam with each harvest, Carolyn decided it was time to turn her love of canning into a business so a larger community could enjoy her amazing Santa Rosa Plum Jam.
Joining the Santa Rosa Plum Jam in the
Jam I am
cupboard are Carolyn's favorite
handcrafted jam and marmalade recipes
Apple Spice Jam, Pineapple Jam, and Orange Marmalade
-- all of which incorporate her backyard Meyer lemons. Newer additions include Apricot Jam, Blueberry-Lime Jam, Strawberry-Pineapple Marmalade, and a sweet Tomato Jam.
The Jam I am
collection also includes cranberry sauces,
a mango chutney, and three unique apple chutneys
. Sweet-tart chutneys, historically an accompaniment to Indian curry dishes, have been discovered as an exciting pairing with goat cheese on crostinis, or as a tasty chunky sauce to jazz up chicken, lamb, pork, turkey meatballs, veggie burgers, tofu, or as a topping on brown rice.
We use home grown and market fresh produce, often from local farmers' markets. Other than the occasional tropical fruit, such as pineapples and mangoes, and the Ambrosia apples in our Apple-Currant Chutney, which are often imported from British Columbia (the birthplace of the Ambrosia), we strive to use California and U.S. grown produce for our ingredients.
Jam I am
handcrafted preserves are produced in small batches in
mason jars
using the time honored, traditional
boiling water bath
canning process.
For added consumer protection our jars are sealed with tamper-evident shrink bands.
Jam I am
is registered by the County of Los Angeles as an approved Cottage Food Operator under the California Homemade Food Act, which went into effect on January 1, 2013. Products not covered under the Cottage Food law are produced in an approved certified commercial kitchen.

text: Immigration Ellis Island Copy words in RED 1880 - 1930 By the 1880's, steam power had shortened the journey to America dramatically. Immigrants poured in from around the world: from the Middle East, the Mediterranean, Southern and Eastern Europe, and down from Canada. Immigration • Pre-1880s, most immigrants came from Europe (English, Scots, Irish, Germans, & Scandinavians) • The door was wide open for Europeans - In the 1880s alone, 9% of the total population of Norway emigrated to America. • By late 1800s, fewer northern Europeans came because they found jobs in factories and mills in Europe. Steamships Cross the Ocean • In the 1860s steamships had replaced sailing ships as the best way to travel across the Atlantic. • Steamships were made of iron and then steel • Steamships were strong, sturdy, and safe. • Steamships made it possible for men to come work for a few months, then return home. Steamships cont. • Some people were put to work to pay their way on a steamship: "The young man took us to a big ship and got us work way down where the fires are. We had to carry coal to the place where it could be thrown on the fires. Francisco and I were very sick from the great heat at first and lay on the coal for a long time, but they threw water on us and made us get up." ~Rocco (young Italian immigrant) Ellis Island: Gate to America • Beginning in 1886: the Statue of Liberty greeted immigrants • 1892: Ellis Island opened as first stop for most immigrants crossing the Atlantic. • Check-in Process: Medical checkup Asked Name, occupation, who paid your fare, can you read and write, how much money do you have, have you ever been in prison or in the poorhouse, where are you going, etc. Many received new names – "American" names • Most immigrants stayed – only 2% were sent home Ellis Island • One immigrant recalled arriving at Ellis Island: "The boat anchored at mid-bay and then they tendered us on the ship to Ellis Island… We got off the boat…you got your bag in your hand and went right into the building Ah, that day must have been about five to six thousand people. Jammed, I remember it was August. Hot as a pistol, and I'm wearing my long johns, and my heavy Irish tweed suit." Families • Families often immigrated together during this era, although young men frequently came first to find work. • Some of these then sent for their wives, children, and siblings; others returned to their families in Europe with their saved wages. Asians • The experience for Asian immigrants in this period was quite different. In 1882 Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, severely restricting immigration from China. • Since earlier laws made it difficult for those Chinese immigrants who were already here to bring over their wives and families, most Chinese communities remained "bachelor societies." Asians • The 1907 "Gentlemen's Agreement" with Japan extended the government's hostility towards Asian workers and families. • For thousands, the Angel Island Immigration Station in San Francisco Bay would be as close as they would ever get to the American mainland. Angel Island Where they came from, 1880-1900 1% 2% Northern & Western Europe Southern & Eastern Europe Americas 6% 31% 60% Asia All Others Where Immigrants Settled • Immigrants settled where they could find work • Work = mines, mills, factories • ½ of immigrants settled in four industrial states: Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois (cities: Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chicago) • If a relative helped pay for passage, immigrants usually lived with them • Led to ethnic neighborhoods with people sharing similar cultures & backgrounds Jobs for Immigrants • If immigrants didn't have family members or know anyone, they might be sent back home. • Sometimes they were rescued by a Padrone (labor boss) • Every nationality (group of people from the same nation) had its version of a padrone. • Padrones found jobs for immigrants and gave them shelter and food. • Workers then gave the padrone a large part of their wages. Why they came to America • For Mexicans victimized by the Revolution, Europeans escaping religious persecution or famine, and Armenians escaping the massacres in Turkey, America provided refuge/safety. • Russian Jews were especially in danger. Jews had long been denied equal rights (limited jobs, no education, limited housing) • In 1881, Russian Czars encouraged pogroms – organized robberies and massacres of Jews. Importance of Education • Another reason immigrants came was for children to receive an education. • American school system was growing faster than some cities. • Schools taught citizenship, proper social behavior, and skills to earn a living • 1870: cities and states began passing laws requiring children to attend school until a certain age. • # of children attending school more than doubled Importance of Education cont. • Teachers had difficulty educating children from different backgrounds and with different languages. • A system of grades organized students by age. • Standards were set for each grade. • Marking system, courses, and textbooks used. Immigrant Life • Many workers held jobs in unsafe sweatshops • Very dangerous! (ex: 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Company Fire) • 146 deaths • Caused NYC to establish rules to protect workers • Home conditions were bad too • Tenements: overcrowded and unhealthy apartment buildings • Slums: any neighborhood in a city that had these unsafe conditions • Piecework: working from home & getting paid by the # of objects made. How many? • Between 1880 and 1930 over 27 million people entered the United States - about 20 million through Ellis Island. • But after outbreak of World War I in 1914, American attitudes toward immigration began to shift. • Nationalism and suspicion of foreigners were on the rise, and immigrants' loyalties were often called into question. • Through the early 20s, a series of laws was passed to limit the flow of immigrants. Ellis Island Pictures Interesting Immigration Facts • More than 31 million • African immigrants persons enter the United have the highest high States legally each year school completion rate: as visitors, students, and 95% temporary workers. • One immigrant arrives Over 500 million cross every 35 seconds the Canadian & • There are more than 20 Mexican borders to million refugees in the conduct daily business world today; 80% of and/or to visit close them are women & family members. children

How Long Do I Have to Wait to Redo a Brazilian Butt Procedure?
Doctor Answers 7
I would wait at least three months
Thank you for the question. I would wait at least three months to add additional fat to your buttocks for several reasons. The first is that it takes about three months to really have a excellent idea of how much of the fat has survived. It will also take some time for your Buttock tissue to relax and allow additional fat to be placed. Give yourself these three months at least to recuperate. You will also feel a little better in terms of the areas that were previously harvested.
All the best
Dr. Remus Repta

How Long Do I Have to Wait to Redo a Brazilian Butt Procedure?
Thanks for your question! I would recommend waiting at least three months to redo a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. Your body is still in the healing process from the first surgery, so it still needs time to fully heal.
Best wishes,
Dr. Newall
How Long Do I Have to Wait to Redo a Brazilian Butt Procedure?
There is no exact time for this procedure but i recommend at least 6 months, and what you should do while waiting is gain the weight needed to have the results you are looking.
Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian Butt Lifts and has privileges to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This says his credentials have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry risk, talk to your plastic surgeon and choose one wisely.

BBL revision
Repeat fat transfer
Repeat fat transfer can be done if there is adequate fat available for transfer. Sometimes you have to go to different areas of the body to search for it. It is preferable to wait about 3 months before repeat transfer, so that all of the fat that has been previously transferred, is stable.
Brazilian Buttlift Redo
I typically liposuction 5 liters and transfer 1200 cc to 1500 cc per buttock. This usually satisfies almost everyone. A buttlift can be redone at 3 months or so depending upon healing and postoperative course. You should get an idea of how much fat was transferred. Typically, patients who do not see as great a result are injected with much less volume.
Secondary BBL
You should wait at least 6 months befor having a second BBL. Your story sounds a bit strange though - the fat started coming out so they stopped? I am sure that most board certified plastic surgeons experienced with BBLs would agree that this is not usually what happens. You may want to consider a second opinion, although it is likely that your first surgeon is offering you a significant discount on your revision surgery.

How to tackle free delivery and high returns in online fashion
Many fashion retailers are feeling a pressure on their margins due to delivery costs and price deflations.
This is a tricky area for fashion sites, as they have higher than average returns rates due to the fact that customers cannot try items on before buying.
This article looks at a few ways on how to combat this downward trend.
What can retailers do to reduce returns rates?
I was recently involved in an online discussion (ecomchat) which started when the question was asked "how important is delivery, shipping & returns for retailers?".
I responded with a home truth based on all the 100's of hours of user research that we have conducted/are continually conducting for multichannel retailers.
When a user/consumer has a choice of retailer from which to buy the product they are looking for, after price then it is almost always delivery options, delivery costs and then the returns proposition that are the three most important factors which influence buyer behaviour.
How Nordstrom sees customers' changing expectations
Retail giant Nordstrom competes against other luxury brands like Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue. It sells Citizens of Humanity jeans ($238), leather Prada men's sneakers ($420), and Jimmy Choo clutches ($620). It does not sell tires.
So, why would it take the rubber discs from a customer insistent on returning them?
The end of channels: how digital experiences trump shiny objects
Digital tools now reach across companies (from sales to support) and across the entire customer experience. This span is making running digital channels as silos increasingly costly and difficult to scale.
Organizations that seek to rationalize operations, use data effectively, and personalize smart experiences for clients need alignment around a digital experience plan.
This is the first of a series of posts on why digital experience planning has become a strategic priority of a growing tribe of digital leaders.
Returns: the Christmas present that keeps on giving
Despite the ecommerce industry booming, retailers need to be aware of some of the potential pitfalls of an environment where consumers are unable to touch, feel or try on new items before they buy.
This, coupled with the 'cooling off period' means return rates are much higher for online retailers than they are for their bricks and mortar counterparts.
Here are some tips for online retailers, which should help them to think and act smarter with their returns policies...
Why does customer service suck online?
If you have ever paid for anything online you will know that web customer service sucks.
As soon as anything goes wrong and you need support, the quality of service almost always takes a turn for the worse.
E-commerce stats: The importance of returning customers
As Christmas gets closer we can expect to see a wealth of e-commerce stats being added to our Internet Statistics Compendium.
This month, there has been some interesting data concerning what online retailers think about the importance of returning customers and some juicy trends highlighting the real worth of shoppers who come back for more compared to first time buyers.
Handling online returns: 14 best practice tips
Returns are an issue for every retailer, and some sectors more than others.
They could be viewed as bothersome, but the returns process does offer an opportunity to showcase your excellent customer service and can have a positive impact of future retention rates, if done well.
There is much you can do to reduce returns rates, providing better imagery and information on product pages, but even the best site will experience returns.
So then it comes down to how you handle the returns process, and the better you handle this, the better your retention rates.
Here are 14 tips to help you to avoid annoying your customers...
44% prefer email for customer service: survey
Email is the preferred contact channel for 44% of consumers, yet just 33% find it to be the most effective, according to a new Econsultancy survey.
The multichannel customer service survey, conducted using Toluna, surveyed 2,000 UK consumers on their attitudes to various contact channels.
Some highlights from the survey after the jump...
Online retailers still need to improve returns processes: report
While retailers have improved in areas such as refunding delivery charges, there is still room for more flexibility and simplicity in returns policies.
For example, 52% of retailers studied didn't offer any choice of return methods, while 9% of refunds took more than 14 days to arrive.
These are a few of the findings from the Snow Valley 2011 Online Returns & Refunds report...
Online customer service: how to get it right
With the increasingly homogenous offer of online retailers, it is generally agreed that high levels of customer service are more vital than ever.
With this in mind, I'm constantly astounded by the shockingly poor levels of service British consumers are exposed to.
10 reasons why Xmas shoppers won't return to your site
With record online spending expected this Christmas, retailers have a great opportunity to acquire and retain new customers.

I've listed ten things for retailers to avoid once a customer has made a purchase online...

- a good ending 4
It was quite a fun story with its mix of battle, espionage, romance, and drama. I loved the hero's and heroine's creative minds when it came to outwitting the enemy. It was fun watching the heroine never giving up on loving the hero and how the hero realized that he can love. It was a sweet book to read.

Life was good, life was easy. But I knew, deep down, I wasn't happy. There was something missing.
I didn't like all these girls I dated. They knew that. It was just a laugh, a bit of fun.
My life was going at one hundred miles per hour, but I wasn't going anywhere. It was like I was going the wrong way on a moving platform, and for every step forward I took, I would simply move one back. I could see my goal in the distance, but I couldn't reach it.
I needed a change of gear.

The spotlight shines brightly even in the offseason around the NHL. Christian Ehrhoff, James Wisniewski and the entire Florida Panthers roster have all enjoyed some moments in the sun as they prepare to try to make the best of new environs. But what about the under-the-radar guys, the players who may have quietly assumed new addresses but who may be ready to make a significant impact? Here's a look at 10 such players:
Alexei Ponikarovsky, Carolina Hurricanes
OK, so the big former Leafs winger has scored just seven times in his past 77 regular-season games and was a bit of a bust in Pittsburgh and Los Angeles. But Ponikarovsky should find a comfort zone with head coach Paul Maurice, for whom he played for in Toronto. And Ponikarovsky has scored 20 or more goals (and once scored 19) three times in his career, so he has something to bring to a Carolina team that will take all the production it can get.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Colorado Avalanche
Given his injury history and uneven play the last couple of seasons, it's easy to forget that Giguere has collected at least 30 wins in four seasons since the lockout. He was, lest people forget, the goaltender of record when the Anaheim Ducks won the Stanley Cup in 2007. At age 34, there should still be lots left in the tank, and, given the lack of durability for young netminder Semyon Varlamov -- the man tabbed by the Avs as their goaltender of the future -- Giguere could be asked to do a whole lot more than just offer mentoring and open the gate at the end of the bench.
Jakub Voracek, Philadelphia Flyers
It's easy to overlook the arrival of the big (6-foot-2, 214 lbs.) winger, given all the other moves made by the Flyers this offseason. But if Paul Holmgren is right, people won't be overlooking the contributions of the former seventh overall pick in the 2007 entry draft. Yes, Voracek didn't become the player the Columbus Blue Jackets thought he would be -- has anyone in Columbus outside of Rick Nash become the player they hoped he would be? -- as he topped out at 16 goals in his three years as a Blue Jacket. But guess what? He's going to play with top-end talent in Philadelphia and get a chance to put that big body to use.
Anthony Stewart, Carolina Hurricanes
We must admit being a bit mystified that the Winnipeg Jets didn't bother to make a qualifying offer to keep the big winger in the fold, and we wonder whether they'll regret playing against him six times a year now that he's landed in Carolina. Admittedly, Stewart -- the 25th overall pick in 2003 -- has been slow to develop, but he did show some good net presence in Atlanta last season, scoring 14 times and finishing with 39 points. Five of those goals were on the power play and, like Ponikarovsky, the 26-year-old Stewart should get many opportunities to improve on those numbers in Carolina.
Andrew Cogliano, Anaheim Ducks
Another first-round draft pick that didn't show enough promise for the Edmonton Oilers, Cogliano may find Anaheim more to his liking. Right now, he's likely a third-line center behind Ryan Getzlaf and Saku Koivu but he can also play the wing. With a more talented cast around him, the 24-year-old may finally blossom after twice scoring 18 goals for the Oilers. He had just 11 goals a year ago but has never missed a game in four seasons in Edmonton, something the injury-plagued Ducks will be pleased about.
Ian White, Detroit Red Wings
No one is suggesting that White will replace the retired Brian Rafalski in the Red Wings' lineup, but White has more tools than he's given credit for possessing; watch for head coach Mike Babcock to take full advantage of them. White had nine points in 17 postseason games for the Sharks last spring -- the Sharks dispatched Detroit in a thrilling seven-game set in the second round -- and will be a nice addition to a Red Wings team that still has plenty of game left.
James Neal, Pittsburgh Penguins
Will Sidney Crosby be back? How hungry is Evgeni Malkin? What does Steve Sullivan have left? In a city hungering for a return to contender status after two disappointing playoff seasons, it's a little bit easy to overlook James Neal. The big winger was acquired before the trade deadline from Dallas for Alex Goligoski, but, with both Malkin and Crosby injured, Neal never really found a groove for the Pens. He scored just once in 20 regular-season games and then added one more in a seven-game first-round playoff loss to Tampa. Look for a lot more this season from the big winger, who will turn 24 over Labor Day weekend.
Niclas Bergfors, Nashville Predators
Every year, Nashville GM David Poile and head coach Barry Trotz conspire to pull a rabbit out of the proverbial scoring hat. Two years ago it was Patric Hornqvist; last year it was Sergei Kostitsyn. Could it be Bergfors this season? The former first-round pick (25th overall by New Jersey in 2005) went to Atlanta as part of the Ilya Kovalchuk trade and was shipped to Florida at the trade deadline last season before signing with the Preds as a free agent this summer. Bergfors had 21 goals between New Jersey and Atlanta in his first full NHL season in 2009-10, including nine power-play markers. Look for him to get lots of opportunity in Nashville to make good on his potential.
Mathieu Garon, Tampa Bay Lightning
Although there were lots of goalies whose profiles might have been higher, Tampa GM Steve Yzerman went after journeyman Garon as his backup to Dwayne Roloson, who signed a one-year deal with the Lightning after a superlative effort in leading the Bolts to the seventh game of the Eastern Conference finals. Roloson will turn 42 before the regular season is a week old, and the Lightning will want to make sure he has plenty left in the tank for what most expect will be another playoff run next spring. That means Garon will have to shoulder the load for, what, 30, 35 games? The two netminders played together in Edmonton, and head coach Guy Boucher said in an interview that he expects them to form a strong tandem.
Roman Hamrlik, Washington Capitals
Talk to Washington GM George McPhee and he'll tell you that one of the main reasons the Caps folded against Tampa in the second round of the playoffs had more to do with the health along the blue line than it did players' efforts. With Tom Poti looking like he won't be able to play anytime soon and with Scott Hannan departed for Calgary, the Caps added some veteran insurance in the form of Roman Hamrlik. Although he is 37, Hamrlik can still log heavy minutes, as he averaged 22:16 a night during the regular season and then saw that number increase in the Canadiens' first-round loss to Boston. Hamrlik was particularly impressive the previous spring as the Canadiens advanced to the Eastern Conference finals in spite of a badly depleted defensive corps. As for a mentor for rising defensive stars John Carlson and Karl Alzner, you couldn't ask for a better guy than the classy Hamrlik.

By Joyce M. Rosenberg, AP Business Writer
NEW YORK Stocks ended a seesaw session with a modest advance after investors found some pluses in the day's retail earnings reports
There was little to motivate stock investors, and certainly not any that would persuade them to continue the rally that sent the Dow up 103 points Tuesday. There were no big economic reports Wednesday. But they found some positives in retail earnings
Target Corp. missed analysts' forecasts for its second quarter revenue and offered a muted outlook for sales. But the company said it hopes to offset weak sales with higher sales of groceries and its new discounts for credit card holders.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 9,69, or 0.1%, to 10,415.54. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 1.62, or 0.2%, to 1,094.16. The Nasdaq composite index rose 6.26, or 0.3%, to 2,215.70.
Gainers were ahead of losers by 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was again extremely light, mostly because of vacations, but also because many investors don't have enough of a sense of the economy's strength. That's making them hold off of any major moves.
Retailers continued reporting their second-quarter earnings, and investors were ambivalent about the results.
Besides Target, BJ's Wholesale Club Inc. lowered its earnings outlook for the year. Its stock dropped.
The reports came a day after Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Home Depot Inc. issued numbers that were more upbeat. So investors were again presented with numbers that appeared contradictory, and that spelled more uncertainty about the economy.
Wednesday's trading was muted, and that was to be expected after investors on Tuesday showed their first real enthusiasm for stocks in weeks and sent the Dow up 103 points. There were no big economic reports planned Wednesday. And any big gains were likely to be given back simply because investors don't trust stocks to put together a solid advance.
Treasurys remained a destination for investors seeking a safer place than stocks to put their money. The 10-year Treasury yield fell to 2.61% from 2.64% late Tuesday.
John Stoltzfus, senior market strategist with Ticonderoga Securities in New York, said the market is becoming increasingly dominated by a "What have you done for me lately?" attitude and responding to daily reports about the economy.
"We live from economic data point to economic data point," he said. "That will probably continue at least until the end of the summer as we wait for some kind of catalyst that would give the market better definition."
BHP Billiton's $38.5 billion takeover offer for fertilizer producer Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan turned hostile Wednesday. Potash had called BHP's offer grossly inadequate. The announcement of the bid and Potash's rejection Tuesday helped feed the rally in stocks. Mergers and acquisitions activity tends to lift the market because it shows investors' confidence in the economy.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei 225 index closed up 0.9%. In later European trading, London's FT-SE 100 index fell 0.8%. Germany's DAX index fell 0.3%, while the CAC-40 index in Paris fell 0.7%.

Objective: To determine whether the adoption of the CONSORT checklist is associated with improvement in the quality of reporting of randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
Data sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL, and reference lists of included studies and of experts were searched to identify eligible studies published between 1996 and 2005.
Study selection: Studies were eligible if they (a) compared CONSORT-adopting and non-adopting journals after the publication of CONSORT, (b) compared CONSORT adopters before and after publication of CONSORT, or (c) a combination of (a) and (b). Outcomes examined included reports for any of the 22 items on the CONSORT checklist or overall trial quality.
Data synthesis: 1128 studies were retrieved, of which 248 were considered possibly relevant. Eight studies were included in the review. CONSORT adopters had significantly better reporting of the method of sequence generation (risk ratio [RR], 1.67; 95% CI, 1.19–2.33), allocation concealment (RR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.37–2.00) and overall number of CONSORT items than non-adopters (standardised mean difference, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.46–1.19). CONSORT adoption had less effect on reporting of participant flow (RR, 1.14; 95% CI, 0.89–1.46) and blinding of participants (RR, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.84–1.43) or data analysts (RR, 5.44; 95% CI, 0.73–36.87). In studies examining CONSORT-adopting journals before and after the publication of CONSORT, description of the method of sequence generation (RR, 2.78; 95% CI, 1.78–4.33), participant flow (RR, 8.06; 95% CI, 4.10–15.83), and total CONSORT items (standardised mean difference, 3.67 items; 95% CI, 2.09–5.25) were improved after adoption of CONSORT by the journal.
Conclusions: Journal adoption of CONSORT is associated with improved reporting of RCTs.
In the mid 1990s, in response to concerns about quality of reporting of randomised controlled trials (RCTs), an international group developed the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement.1,2 CONSORT is intended to improve the reporting of an RCT, enabling readers to understand its conduct and to gauge the validity of its results.
The original CONSORT statement, developed for simple two-group parallel RCTs, comprises a checklist and flow diagram.1 Presently, CONSORT includes a 22-item checklist and four-stage flow diagram.2 The items included in the checklist were selected, whenever possible, because empirical evidence indicates that not reporting the information is associated with biased estimates of treatment effectiveness, or because the information is essential to judge the reliability or relevance of the findings.2-6 CONSORT has been endorsed by prominent medical journals and by editorial groups, such as the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
Since the publication of CONSORT, several evaluations of its effectiveness have been published.7-10 Two articles have suggested that journal endorsement of CONSORT is associated with improved quality of reporting.7,8 However, other study results have been equivocal.9,10 To gain a broader global perspective of CONSORT's effectiveness, we conducted a systematic review, examining effectiveness in journals that have formally endorsed CONSORT.
Studies were eligible if they were comparative studies evaluating the quality of RCT reporting; one of the comparator groups included RCTs reported in CONSORT-adopting journals; and outcomes reported included any of the 22 items on the CONSORT checklist, summary scores based on the CONSORT checklist, or any measures of overall trial quality.11 Study quality was not an exclusion criterion, and studies were not excluded based on publication status or language of publication.
Journal adoption of CONSORT was defined as a statement in the "instructions to authors" to follow CONSORT in preparing manuscripts, or a requirement for authors to submit a completed CONSORT checklist with their manuscript.
Eligible studies fell into three groups: those that (a) compared CONSORT adopters and non-adopters after the publication of CONSORT, (b) compared CONSORT-adopting journals before and after publication of CONSORT, or (c) a combination of (a) and (b). We did not specify a primary outcome for our review, but included as outcomes: (1) reporting of any of the 22 items on the CONSORT checklist, (2) summary scores based on the CONSORT checklist, or (3) any measures of overall trial quality.
The main search strategy was developed in MEDLINE (1996 to 2005 week 28) and customised for EMBASE (1996 to 2005 week 32); both were executed through the Ovid interface. In addition, the Cochrane Methodology Register (up to 2nd Quarter 2005) and the Cochrane Database of Methodology Reviews (up to 2nd Quarter 2005) were initially searched via Update Software in 2004 and then via Wiley InterScience for the 2005 update. The Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index and Arts & Humanities Citation Index (June 2005) were searched through the ISI Web of Knowledge interface.
We searched for grey literature, checked the bibliographic references of relevant articles, and consulted with CONSORT experts.
The search was designed to retrieve citations published since 1996, when CONSORT was first published. Keywords included randomised controlled trial, publication bias, CONSORT, and epidemiological methods. The full search strategy is available from the authors.
Two reviewers (A C P and A M) independently reviewed titles and abstracts using broad screening criteria (comparative study, and outcomes included some measure of trial reporting quality). Articles of potential relevance were further assessed (by A C P and D M) for eligibility. Disagreements were resolved by consensus. The reviewers were not blinded to authors or journals.
When a comparative study with appropriate outcomes was identified, a detailed assessment was undertaken to determine eligibility. First, the study was reviewed to determine the journals and time frame in which the individual RCTs forming the basis for the comparison were published.
Second, the journals for these individual RCTs were examined to determine whether they met our definition of CONSORT adopter. We reviewed the most recent "instructions to authors" to determine if the journal was currently a CONSORT adopter (as indicated by a statement to use CONSORT in preparing the manuscript or by requiring submission of a completed checklist). We then reviewed previous issues to determine the journal's CONSORT adoption date, and compared this with the date of RCT publication. The journal had to have adopted the CONSORT statement at least 6 months before the RCT publication to be considered a CONSORT adopter.
If CONSORT use was not currently required by a journal, we assumed the journal had never adopted the CONSORT statement.
A single non-blinded reviewer (A C P) assessed reporting quality using a five-item checklist based on principles of internal and external validity.12 Quality assessment included the use of a control group, RCT cohort ascertainment, how the authors reached agreement on whether a checklist item was included, and whether the reviewers were blinded when assessing outcomes.
Data were extracted by one reviewer (A C P) using a standardised data form, and then checked for accuracy by a second reviewer (D M). Only "consensus" data were used in the review. All data were entered in Review Manager 4.2 (Nordic Cochrane Centre, Copenhagen, Denmark). Dichotomous data were expressed as risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals. Continuous data were expressed as standardised mean differences with 95% confidence intervals. Consistency across the studies was examined using the I-squared test. Data were pooled using fixed effect models. A priori subgroup analyses included a comparison of RCTs published in journals that specifically require submission of a completed CONSORT checklist with journals that are not CONSORT adopters.
Authors of several possibly relevant studies were contacted for clarification of eligibility and invited to contribute unpublished data. We did not contact the authors of all included studies for additional unpublished data.
Our search strategy identified 1128 studies; 248 were potentially relevant and eight of them7,8,13-18 met our inclusion criteria (Box 1). One study was included after the author provided unpublished data.17 Six studies that examined changes in the quality of trial reporting over time or compared quality of trial reporting between journals were excluded, either because they did not include a comparator group or were not published in CONSORT-adopting journals,9,19-21 or because insufficient detail was available to determine eligibility.10,22
The number of RCTs in individual studies ranged from 13 to 240, and the number of journals in individual studies ranged from 1 to 68 (Box 2). All studies were published in English. One study used a different definition of CONSORT adoption (journals in which the editor applied the CONSORT checklist were considered CONSORT adopters),7 but 88% of RCTs in the study met our definition of CONSORT adoption. For all other included studies, the definition of CONSORT adopters matched our definition.
Overall, 37 different outcomes were reported (range, 1–16 per study) (Box 3). This variability resulted in most outcomes being reported in only one study. Outcomes used in more than one study were reporting of allocation concealment (five studies), sequence generation (three studies), blinding (four studies), participant flow (two studies) and overall number of CONSORT checklist items (two studies, one using a total of 30 items, the other 40 items). Blinding as an outcome was assessed as reported or not in one study,17 and blinding of participants and data analysts in three studies.7,17,18
Box 2 summarises the methodological quality of the studies. All studies were quasi-experimental, with only one study having an a priori defined control group.8
CONSORT-adopting journals had better reporting of the method of sequence generation and allocation concealment (Box 4A). For the two studies that reported total number of CONSORT items, the standardised mean difference was 0.83 (95% CI, 0.46–1.19). CONSORT adoption appeared to have less effect on reporting of participant flow and reporting of blinding of participants or data analysts.
Although we planned a priori to determine the influence of journals requiring submission of a completed CONSORT checklist when manuscripts are submitted, this comparison was impossible as very few journals actually require checklist submission. The paucity of data also precluded meaningful examination of publication bias. Tests for heterogeneity were all non-significant.
The descriptions of the method of sequence generation, participant flow and total CONSORT items (standardised mean difference, 3.67 items; 95% CI, 2.09–5.25) were better after adoption of CONSORT (Box 4B). CONSORT adoption appeared to have less effect on allocation concealment. The paucity of data precluded meaningful examination of publication bias. There was no evidence of heterogeneity.
Studies evaluating the effectiveness of the CONSORT checklist are methodologically weak. The eight studies we identified used different quasi-experimental designs, which (with one exception) did not include a control group, addressed different questions, and used a large number of discrete outcomes, negating the possibility of combining them — a strength of the systematic review process. Further, analysis of studies that sample journals should take account of the clustering effect in the analysis, which would widen the confidence intervals. Only one study included in the review considered this effect. Nevertheless, our review suggests some improvement in the quality of reporting RCTs when the CONSORT checklist is used. Although the degree of improvement in quality of reporting of particular trial items differs somewhat between our comparison groups (CONSORT adopters v non-adopters after CONSORT publication, and CONSORT adopters before and after CONSORT publication), the direction of the effect remains the same. The difference in magnitude may be related to the small number of studies.
Our results are encouraging, but provide no definitive answer as to whether the CONSORT checklist improves reporting of RCTs. Perhaps unique to our review is ascertaining whether the RCTs were published in journals that adhered to CONSORT. If journals do not enforce the use of the checklist, it is likely that the effects we observed underestimate the possible benefits with proper enforcement of CONSORT. A review of 167 high-impact journals found that only 22% mentioned CONSORT in their instructions to authors, and 25% of these referred to the obsolete 1996 version.24 In another study involving 15 high-impact journals (five of which were not included in the previously mentioned review) that have reported endorsing CONSORT, only eight referred to the statement in their instructions to authors.25 CONSORT-adopting journals should be more proactive in enforcing adherence to CONSORT.
Although we did not find a strong influence of CONSORT on the quality of reporting of blinding, a recent study has suggested that the CONSORT checklist may have had a positive influence. In a study of RCTs in journals that adopted the original and then the revised CONSORT checklist, the authors found that the quality of reporting of blinding improved by 23%–55% between publication of the two checklists.26 This is particularly important in light of emerging data suggesting investigators, educators and readers vary greatly in their interpretations and definitions of types of blinding.27
Many of the evaluations included in our review were conducted shortly after the introduction of CONSORT. The benefits from CONSORT might take longer to materialise. It might be prudent to conduct further evaluations of the checklist after a longer adoption period, such as 5 years.
The trials reported a large number of discrete outcomes, and it is possible that individual studies selectively reported their outcomes. As we did not contact all authors of included studies for unpublished outcome data, we cannot address this issue.
In summary, it appears that use of the CONSORT checklist is associated with some improvement in reporting of RCTs. With endorsement by more journals, and greater editorial efforts to ensure that authors comply, CONSORT could begin to yield the full benefits for which it was intended.

carnival combat
Seconds later,a rumble boomed across the indoor amusment park. The men spun around and saw the most rediculous weapon on the planet. A ferris wheel. A ferris wheel with a pilot in the center. Seats taken out so it can roll. And four 75mm laser cannons mounted to the sides. It Charged forward at the men. The men removed several pistols. And started firing. "RUN SAO! FOR HEAVENS SAKE RUN!" One man screamed. Sao turned to the exit. Charging at it he dared not turn round. He jumped through the door and twoard his buggy. He got in and started driving away. About half a minute later,a group of v-26 strike fighters flew overhead. Behind them,a trout dropship helicopter veered twoard Sao's buggy. The Trout redused speed and flew a small ways ahead of Jim. He got the message and slowed also. The helicopter lowered to the ground. Then the back opened up. Sao drove into it. He leaned around the side and saw the ferris wheel being attacked by the fighters. "this is sooooooooooo weird."

Tampering of electronic weighing machine
Traders can tamper with the electronic weighing machine using mode option button. With this, they can adjust the measures according to their convenience resulting in short delivery of over 100 grams out of each kilogram purchased in a shop. A shopkeeper can also dupe consumers by simply placing the weighing machine on an uneven surface, as accurate measurement can be obtained only if the machine is placed on a flat surface. Once calibrated, the machines should not be shifted to other locations in the shop as the weights displayed by the machines vary when they are moved. Many shopkeepers are seen placing their machines awkwardly either out of ignorance or intentionally.
Jewellery travails
The most frequent violation indulged by the jewellery shop owners is to include precious stone weight in the total gold weight. Customers have to check the bill thoroughly and ensure that the stone weight is deducted from the gold weight. Another way in which a customer is cheated by the shop owners is that he is charged for 22 carat gold even though the gold is of lesser carat value. "An ornament studded with diamonds is usually made with 18 carat gold, but jewellers charge customers for 22 carat gold," said City Assistant Controller P.S.R.N.T. Swamy.
Alteration of price tags
Several malls are altering price tags using price printing machines. Traders affix a new price sticker on the actual price label printed by the manufacturer and then offer discount on the product to woo consumers. Traders dupe customers by selling the product as per the new price tag instead of actual price as mentioned by the manufacturer and then claim that customer stands to gain due to the huge discount being offered. It is also seen that shop owners often affix their own price labels on blank cartons. It is a punishable offence to alter the original MRP labels printed by the manufacturers.

Great-Grandma's given name (Rangel?) was written very illegibly on her daughter Rachelita's birth certificate, so we are not sure how to say it or spell it. When Grandmother Rachelita was 2, her father left them -- Rangel had TB and my grandmother got a bad case of rickets. So he thought they were dying. Rangel did die, but Rachelita was rescued. She was given up for adoption to an older Anglo couple. They raised her till she was 16, then she married my Grandfather John. Grandmother Rachelita looks very much like her mother too.

New York circa 1910. Fifth Avenue at 25th Street looking north. From a collection of found nitrate negatives. The corner signpost shows Fifth Avenue and 25th street if you zoom in. The store on the left is Caswell Massey and Co., which had a 202 Fifth Avenue branch. I'm guessing the date because many of the photos in the collection are views of the Metropolitan Life tower and vicinity - 23rd Sreet Madison Square. The tower was the tallest building in the world from 1909 to 1913 and might have attracted the attention of a photographer when it was new. The dress and vehicles in the photo put it before 1920, I think. View full size.

The Poet: Saghar Siddiqui ساغر صدیقی (takhallus: Saghar) was born in Ambala انبالہ, Punjab (now in Haryana), India in 1928. He was named Muhammad Akhtar محمد اختر at birth. Perhaps he had an unhappy childhood, as he talked very little about it in his later years, even to his closest friends. It seems that he was the only child of his parents and he spent the early years of his life in Ambala and Saharanpur سہارنپور (UP, India). He received his early education from Habib Hassan حبیب حسن, a friend of the family. Young Akhtar was much impressed by this gentleman, and he got interested in Urdu poetry because of him. Then he moved to Amritsar, Punjab, India, mostly in search of work. There he used to make wooden combs and also started writing Urdu poetry. For some time he used Nasir Hijazi as his pen name, but later he switched to Saghar Siddiqui. At age 16, he would regularly attend mushairas. He sang his poetry in mushairas held in Jalandhar, Ludhiana, and Gurdaspur.
With his slim appearance, wearing pants and do ghora boski دو گھوڑا بوسکی (yellow silky cloth) shirts, with long curly hair, and reciting beautiful ghazals in a melodious voice, he was a huge success at the mushairas. Prior to 1947, he would visit Lahore every Sunday, sometimes to attend mushairas. In a mushaira at Lahore, جگر مراد آبادی Jigar Moradabadi (1890-1960) was so impressed by young Saghar that he kissed him on his forehead. He moved to Lahore in 1947 after the creation of Pakistan. For a while he worked for magazines. He also started his own magazine but after the third issue, he had to close it since people did not pay him for the ads they had placed. He sold the declaration of the magazine for Rs. 5.00. He also started writing the National Anthem for Pakistan and also worked for a while on a project to make a documentary about Kashmir. He had come to Lahore alone, but he had some friends like Zaheer Kashmiri ظہیر کاشمیری (from Amritsar) and Younas Adeeb یونس ادیب (who had met him in a pre-partition mushaira in Lahore). Gradually all his dreams were shattered. He was perhaps too honest and too sensitive for the world. He did not claim any property (as a refugee from India) in Lahore. Other than going to mushairas in other cities, he lived in Lahore. He rented rooms at various locations. In early 1950's, he became addicted to morphine. Some of the poets and publishers exploited him by offering him a few rupees for his ghazals. Those ghazals were then claimed by others or were published without Saghars permission. For his ghazals sung on the radio, he was given the royalty only once, and he used to ask his friends to get the royalty paid to him.
Gradually he completely disconnected himself from the normal world. For over 20 years, he roamed the streets of Lahore as a faqir in his black chaddar with his bare feet, long dirty hair, and unshaved beard. He usually walked on the Circular Road, south of the walled city and on streets like Anarkali Bazar, Akhbaar Market, Aibak Road, Shah Alami, and around the Data Darbar area. He would often hold mushairas on the footpaths, where he used to light his candles on a brick. Even as a faqir, he only asked for what he needed, and returned the rest. Many a times he distributed the hundreds of rupees he got for the songs he had written for movies to people he thought were more deserving than him. He comes across as a shy, patient, and a soft-spoken man who was never in anger and never used any foul word. His last few days were extremely painful as he had started coughing blood. In those days he was dressed in a white kurta (a faqirs kafni کفنی, which he called his cross صلیب), had to use glasses as he could not see properly, and had to walk with the help of a stick. A was found dead on a roadside on 19 July 1974. He was buried at the Miani Sahib graveyard.
Despite his shattered life, some of his verses are among the best ever written in Urdu. It is unbelievable that he kept his inner self so pure and so transcending. May God give his soul peace and happiness in the hereafter, which his body did not get in this world.
Perhaps he says it all in this verse:
یاد رکھنا ہماری تُربت کو
قرض ہے تُم پہ چار پھُولوں کا
yaad rakhna hamari turbat ko: karz hai tum pe chaar phoolon ka
(Tr: remember my grave: you owe me a few flowers)

Since 2003, the IMF has honored an outstanding physician each year with the Robert A. Kyle Lifetime Achievement Award. The award, named for its first recipient, is presented to an individual whose body of work in the field of myeloma has made significant advances in research, treatment and care of myeloma patients.
Our honorees' work reflects the words of Dr. William Mayo, founder of Mayo Clinic, who challenged the nature of patient care nearly a century ago when he said "The needs of the patient are the only needs to be considered."
This Year's Recipient
Dr. Vincent Rajkumar
Dr. Vincent Rajkumar, the Edward W. and Betty Knight Scripps Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, has worked closely with Dr. Kyle for 20 years. "Bob Kyle is an inspiration—the person I want to be like, but simply cannot," said Dr. Rajkumar. The award, he added, is "a reflection of Dr. Kyle's leadership, vision, and guidance, more than anything I have done. The people who have won this award in the past are giants in the field, and I am very humbled."
In 1995, Dr. Rajkumar joined Mayo Clinic to train in hematology and medical oncology. He joined the staff in 1999, rising to professor in 2006. His research focuses on clinical, epidemiological, and laboratory research for myeloma and related disorders.
Dr. Rajkumar has led numerous phase I, II, and III clinical trials investigating the role of new agents in myeloma, including the pivotal trials that led to the approval of thalidomide in myeloma in the US, and has published more than 300 peer-reviewed papers primarily in the field of myeloma and related plasma cell disorders. Dr. Rajkumar was lead author on the 2014 IMWG Updated Criteria for the Diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, considered to be a paradigm shift in the approach to multiple myeloma.
In addition to his stellar research credentials, Dr. Rajkumar excels at science communications, serving as Associate Editor for the Mayo Clinic Proceedings; Section Editor for the journal Leukemia; Associate Editor for the European Journal of Haematology; and Editor-in-Chief of Blood Cancer Journal. He is equally adept at sharing medical information through social media, as his thousands of Twitter followers can attest.

|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-3045) Write a tool to do a binary search of past trunk builds to find the source of regressions
|Tue, 04 Sep 2007 16:20:51 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3045?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12524777 ] Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-3045: ---------------------------------------------- What's a "trunk jar from a previous release"? Releases are off branches, not the trunk? Also why keep any jars around, the jars can be re-built from a codeline at the correct revision? In some cases the regression might have been caused by one of three changes included in a set of built jars, so the built jars may not always lead to the specific change. > Write a tool to do a binary search of past trunk builds to find the source of regressions > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: DERBY-3045 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3045 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Task > Components: Build tools > Affects Versions: 10.4.0.0 > Reporter: Kathey Marsden > > Often we have to backtrack to find the source of a regression. It would be useful to have a tool which would run a java program against archived builds and do a binary search for the build that caused the failure. Trunk builds for the current release are stored at http://dbtg.thresher.com/derby/bits/trunk/ but in order for the tool to be most useful we would need to start keeping the trunk jars from previous releases. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
