Johnson announced yesterday Heat Wave May Hurt Farm Crops By The Associated Press A June heat wave in the nation's northeastern states sizzled on today amid a growing fear of serious damage to farm crops. The long dry heavy rains in three weeks intensified the hazard of flres in the heavily wooded areas of the New England states, New York and New Jersey. No immediate relief from the unseasonable appeared in prospect. Tem- peratures climbed into the 90's over the parched areas yesterday.

But postponement The French plan to create what they call a a center of military power, across the east- ern coastal route of infiltration by the Chinese communists. To this end, they mean to root out Ho Chl-minh's guerrillas from a quad- rilateral area bounded -by Langson, Moncay, Hanoi, and Haiphong. This redoubt will not seal the Indo- Chinese borders. In the mountain- ous thick junsle of the interior, that is impossible. But, by cutting off the coastal route, the redoubt will confine contact across the bor- ders to jungle trails. It will thus be difficult for the Chinese com- munists to deliver any decisive aid to their Indo-Chinese comrades. THE ULTIMATE PURPOSE of Fire Dangers The danger of forest fires prompt- ed Governor Paul A. Dever of Mas- sachusetts to ban hunting and fish- ing in the state forests, effective today. Similar restrictions already have been ordered in forests in New Hampshire and Vermont.

A report by the commerce com- mittee said many sportsmen feared the bill would open bird sanctuaries to public shooting, "There is nothing in this the report added, "that will author- ize the opening of areas heretofore acquired as inviolate sanctuaries, and it is not the intent of your committee that the presently exist- ing inviolate migratory bird sanct- uaries be opened to shooting." Quick Approval Can Strengthen U.UeAdds Senate Group Told Blockade Lifting Was Direct Result Washington Secretary of State Acheson said today ratifica- tion of the North Atlantic pact and approval of the arms assistance program are of "utmost importance" to this coustry's dealings with Soviet Russia. He told the Senate foreign rela- tions committee at a closed session that the outcome of the Big Four foreign ministers conference at Paris "re-emphasizes" the need for action at this session of Congress on these key administration meas- ures. "This is necessary in order that may continue for firm policy in Europe and maintain the momen- tum which has been stimulated by that Acheson said. 'This momentum in my opinion, was responsible for the lifting of the (Berlin) blockade, the convening of the council of foreign ministers and the accomplishments at that meet- ing." Acheson's return from the Paris meeting yesterday was followed by an appeal from President Truman for slackening" in vital phases of American foreign policy. Closed-Door Talk Acheson met in a closed-door talk with members of the Senate foreign relations committee. Tomorrow he will meet with members of the House foreign af- fairs committee. At confer- ence later in the' day Acheson.will have his first opportunity to make a detailed public statement on the Paris meetiiig.

Joe: The weight of livingMature
For a while we drove in silence, the funeral resting heavy on all of us. I continued to sit in the car with David whilst Cancer, Eloise, Carol and Alicia were in the other car. Alicia was one to watch; I knew what it was like to lose your parents and how badly it can affect you. Alicia was only six years old though; she would never have a normal childhood again. She was supposed to play with her toys, to giggle with her friends and go to the park with her mum and dad. She'd never, ever do that though. Even if this apocalypse did somehow magically fade away she would have no family to hold her hand through it.
The rest of us had lost so much, humanity had suffered radically. There would never be any sense of normalcy again. It was scary to think about what the survival rate was right now; I guessed it was well below 30%. At least 30% of the world had died, fallen to the hands of the dead. Even if we did come across a survivor, they were always corrupt. They were violent, merciless, desperate.
David drove at a steady pace. I think he was trying to avoid using the petrol up so quickly, which was understandable, but at the same time unavoidable.
'We have to guide Alicia, you know. There are two very different paths that she can take in life, now she has no real parentage. If she's raised right, she'll grow up strong and capable. Otherwise, she can grow up to become one of the bastards that killed her father.'
I nodded at David's words.
'Cancer's taken a shine to her,' I said fondly. 'I didn't peg him as the paternal type.'
'I've met people like Cancer,' David replied. 'Their lives are driven by violence and they can feel so lost, they become dependent on the anger that consumes them because they think it makes them strong. Having Alicia round though seems to have provided him with someone to look after other than himself.'
'He had Rayn before.'
'His best friend. I think they grew up together. He got killed though during a shootout. It wasn't the bullet that ended his life, but a bite.'
'I'm sorry to hear that.'
'I was the one who put Rayn out of his misery when he rose again. I had to, Cancer sure as hell wasn't going to do it.'
'That was brave of you.'
'I didn't always used to be brave…' I trailed off, unsure if David wanted to hear about my life. I suddenly wanted to tell him though. David's eyes flickered to me and he seemed to be waiting to hear what I had to say.
'Before the apocalypse I was a shy, awkward teenager that got bullied at school. The bully's name was Harry Acker and he was a living hell for me. Long story short, my parents took me to Reno for a holiday after I finished high school which is where the apocalypse was. You could say it was pretty bad timing,' I smiled sadly at my poor-tasted joke. 'My dad was bitten first, he killed my mum and Cancer shot them both. He saved me from that hotel that night and we went to find Rayn in Sacramento. Along the way I changed though. Something inside of me changed. I got darker, more capable. Rayn and Cancer trained me how to use a gun and I used it not long after to kill someone. It was in self-defence, but I'll never forget it.'
David was silent for a few moments. When he spoke, his voice was gentle but assertive. 'You mustn't blame yourself Joe. People change in times like these. The purest person can become utterly brutal. You can't expect to live through the apocalypse and be the same person you were before.'
He was right, I knew it. I just didn't like this new person I was. I wanted more than anything to go back to how things used to be.
We were both silent after that, continuing on our journey to Wyoming. It was a long one, and we had obstacles to face. We didn't come across anymore survivors. We came across plenty of zombies and we had to redirect our route more times than I can count. We got swarmed at one point, which was absolutely terrifying. David was perfectly capable though and drove us away with ease. The other car followed ours, so if we saw danger we'd flash our lights and they'd know to stop.
We rested several times, in old houses, abandoned buildings or sometimes even simply in the car. One of us would stay awake; I chose to do this more times because David needed to sleep. I could rest when he was driving. We scavenged what little food and drink we could, sometimes it was enough, other times it wasn't.
As we got closer and closer to our destination, I felt the first glimmers of hope, something I hadn't felt since we reached that lab where I first saw Robby. Would this place be all that we had heard? Or was it too late? Was it already overrun?
I was sleeping when David shook me awake violently. I was immediately on my guard, looking out for attack. One glance at his face though told me something else entirely. He wasn't scared, he was… excited?
A large sign stood on the side of the road, covered in roots and leaves. The words were barely discernible, but at the same time unmistakable. A loud honk from the car behind told us what we had all known: we had arrived.
Welcome to Riverton.

Lymphoma And Other Malignancies
Immunosuppressants, including ASTAGRAF XL, increase the risk of developing lymphomas and other malignancies, particularly of the skin. The risk appears to be related to the intensity and duration of immunosuppression rather than to the use of any specific agent. Examine patients for skin changes and advise to avoid or limit exposure to sunlight and UV light.
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), associated with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), has been reported in immunosuppressed organ transplant patients. The risk of PTLD appears greatest in patients who are EBV seronegative. Monitor EBV serology during treatment.

Immunosuppressants, including ASTAGRAF XL, increase the risk of developing bacterial, viral, fungal, and protozoal infections, including opportunistic infections. These infections may lead to serious, including fatal, outcomes. Serious viral infections reported include:
- Polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (especially due to BK virus infection),
- JC virus-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), and
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections: CMV seronegative transplant patients who receive an organ from a CMV seropositive donor are at highest risk of CMV viremia and CMV disease
Monitor for the development of infection and adjust the immunosuppressive regimen to balance the risk of rejection with the risk of infection [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].
Increased Mortality In Female Liver Transplant Patients
In a clinical trial of 471 liver transplant patients randomized to ASTAGRAF XL or tacrolimus immediate-release product, mortality at 12 months was 10% higher among the 76 female patients (18%) treated with ASTAGRAF XL compared to the 64 female patients (8%) treated with tacrolimus immediate-release product. ASTAGRAF XL is not approved for the prophylaxis of organ rejection in patients who received a liver transplant.
Graft Rejection And Other Serious Adverse Reactions Due To Medication Errors
Medication errors, including substitution and dispensing errors, between tacrolimus immediate-release products and ASTAGRAF XL (tacrolimus extended-release capsules) were reported outside the U.S. This led to serious adverse reactions, including graft rejection, or other adverse reactions due to under-or over-exposure to tacrolimus. ASTAGRAF XL is not interchangeable or substitutable with tacrolimus immediate-release products or tacrolimus extended-release products. Instruct patients and caregivers to recognize the appearance of ASTAGRAF XL capsules [see Dosage Forms and Strengths].
New Onset Diabetes After Transplant
ASTAGRAF XL caused new onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT) in kidney transplant patients, which may be reversible in some patients. African-American and Hispanic kidney transplant patients are at an increased risk. Monitor blood glucose concentrations and treat appropriately [see ADVERSE REACTIONS and Use In Specific Populations].
Nephrotoxicity Due To ASTAGRAF XL And Drug Interactions
ASTAGRAF XL, like other calcineurin-inhibitors, can cause acute or chronic nephrotoxicity. Consider dosage reduction in patients with elevated serum creatinine and tacrolimus whole blood trough concentrations greater than the recommended range.
The risk for nephrotoxicity may increase when ASTAGRAF XL is concomitantly administered with CYP3A inhibitors (by increasing tacrolimus whole blood concentrations) or drugs associated with nephrotoxicity (e.g., aminoglycosides, ganciclovir, amphotericin B, cisplatin, nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors) [see DRUG INTERACTIONS]. Monitor renal function and consider dosage reduction if nephrotoxicity occurs.
ASTAGRAF XL may cause a spectrum of neurotoxicities. The most severe neurotoxicities include posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), delirium, seizure and coma; others include tremors, paresthesias, headache, mental status changes, and changes in motor and sensory functions [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. As symptoms may be associated with tacrolimus whole blood trough concentrations at or above the recommended range, monitor for neurologic symptoms and consider dosage reduction or discontinuation of ASTAGRAF XL if neurotoxicity occurs.
Mild to severe hyperkalemia, which may require treatment, has been reported with tacrolimus including ASTAGRAF XL. Concomitant use of agents associated with hyperkalemia (e.g., potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers) may increase the risk for hyperkalemia [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. Monitor serum potassium levels periodically during treatment.
Hypertension is a common adverse reaction of ASTAGRAF XL therapy and may require antihypertensive therapy [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. Some antihypertensive drugs can increase the risk for hyperkalemia [see Hyperkalemia]. Calcium-channel blocking agents may increase tacrolimus blood concentrations and require dosage reduction of ASTAGRAF XL [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].
Risk Of Rejection With Strong CYP3A Inducers And Risk Of Serious Adverse Reactions With Strong CYP3A Inhibitors
The concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers may increase the metabolism of tacrolimus, leading to lower whole blood trough concentrations and greater risk of rejection. In contrast, the concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors may decrease the metabolism of tacrolimus, leading to higher whole blood trough concentrations and greater risk of serious adverse reactions (e.g., neurotoxicity, QT prolongation) [see QT Prolongation]. Therefore, adjust ASTAGRAF XL dose and monitor tacrolimus whole blood trough concentrations when coadministering ASTAGRAF XL with strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., telaprevir, boceprevir, ritonavir, ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, clarithromycin) or strong CYP3A inducers (e.g., rifampin, rifabutin) [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and DRUG INTERACTIONS].
QT Prolongation
ASTAGRAF XL may prolong the QT/QTc interval and cause Torsade de Pointes. Avoid ASTAGRAF XL in patients with congenital long QT syndrome. Consider obtaining electrocardiograms and monitoring electrolytes (magnesium, potassium, calcium) periodically during treatment in patients with congestive heart failure, bradyarrhythmias, those taking certain antiarrhythmic medications or other products that lead to QT prolongation, and those with electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, or hypomagnesemia).
When coadministering ASTAGRAF XL with other substrates and/or inhibitors of CYP3A, especially those that also have the potential to prolong the QT interval, a reduction in ASTAGRAF XL dosage, monitoring of tacrolimus whole blood concentrations, and monitoring for QT prolongation is recommended [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].
Whenever possible, administer the complete complement of vaccines before transplantation and treatment with ASTAGRAF XL.
Avoid the use of live attenuated vaccines during treatment with ASTAGRAF XL (e.g., intranasal influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, oral polio, BCG, yellow fever, varicella, and TY21a typhoid vaccines).
Inactivated vaccines noted to be safe for administration after transplantation may not be sufficiently immunogenic during treatment with ASTAGRAF XL.
Pure Red Cell Aplasia
Cases of pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) have been reported in patients treated with tacrolimus. All of these patients reported risk factors for PRCA such as parvovirus B19 infection, underlying disease, or concomitant medications associated with PRCA. A mechanism for tacrolimus-induced PRCA has not been elucidated. If PRCA is diagnosed, consider discontinuation of ASTAGRAF XL.
Patient Counseling Information
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide).
Advise patients to:
- Inspect their ASTAGRAF XL medicine when they receive a new prescription and before taking it. If the appearance of the capsule is not the same as usual, or if dosage instructions have changed, advise patients to contact their healthcare provider as soon as possible to make sure that they have the right medicine. Other tacrolimus products cannot be substituted for ASTAGRAF XL [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Take ASTAGRAF XL at the same time every day to achieve consistent blood concentrations.
- Take ASTAGRAF XL in the morning, preferably at least 1 hour before or at least 2 hours after breakfast to achieve maximum possible blood concentrations of the drug.
- Swallow capsule whole with liquid. Do not chew, divide or crush capsule.
- Avoid alcoholic beverage, grapefruit and grapefruit juice while on ASTAGRAF XL [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and DRUG INTERACTIONS].
- Take a missed dose of ASTAGRAF XL as soon as possible but not more than 14 hours after the scheduled time (i.e., for a missed 8 AM dose, take by 10 PM). Beyond the 14-hour timeframe, instruct the patient to wait until the usual scheduled time the following morning to take the next scheduled dose. Do not take 2 doses at the same time.
Development of Lymphoma and Other Malignancies
Inform patients that they are at an increased risk of developing lymphomas and other malignancies, particularly of the skin, due to immunosuppression. Advise patients to limit exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet (UV) light by wearing protective clothing and use a sunscreen with a high protection factor [see BOXED WARNING and WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Increased Risk of Infection
Inform patients that they are at an increased risk of developing a variety of infections, including opportunistic infections, due to immunosuppression and to contact their physician if they develop any symptoms of infection [see BOXED WARNING and WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
New Onset Diabetes After Transplant
Inform patients that ASTAGRAF XL can cause diabetes mellitus and should be advised to contact their physician if they develop frequent urination, increased thirst or hunger [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Inform patients that ASTAGRAF XL can have toxic effects on the kidney that should be monitored. Advise patients to attend all visits and complete all blood tests ordered by their medical team [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Inform patients that they are at risk of developing adverse neurologic reactions including seizure, altered mental status, and tremor. Advise patients to contact their physician should they develop vision changes, delirium, or tremors [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Inform patients that ASTAGRAF XL can cause hyperkalemia. Monitoring of potassium levels may be necessary, especially with concomitant use of other drugs known to cause hyperkalemia [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Inform patients that ASTAGRAF XL can cause high blood pressure which may require treatment with anti-hypertensive therapy [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Drug Interactions
Instruct patients to tell their healthcare providers when they start or stop taking any concomitant medications, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, herbal and dietary supplements. Some medications could alter tacrolimus concentrations in the blood and thus may require the adjustment of the dosage of ASTAGRAF XL [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and DRUG INTERACTIONS].
Inform patients that ASTAGRAF XL can interfere with the usual response to immunizations and that they should avoid live vaccines [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
Carcinogenicity studies were conducted in male and female rats and mice. In the 80-week mouse oral study and in the 104-week rat oral study, no relationship of tumor incidence to tacrolimus dosage was found. The highest dose used in the mouse was 3 mg/kg/day (0.49 times the AUC at the maximum clinical dose of 0.2 mg/kg/day) and in the rat was 5 mg/kg/day (0.14 times the AUC at the maximum clinical dose of 0.2 mg/kg/day) [see BOXED WARNING, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
A 104-week dermal carcinogenicity study was performed in mice with tacrolimus ointment (0.03%3%), equivalent to tacrolimus doses of 1.1-118 mg/kg/day or 3.3-354 mg/m²/day. In the study, the incidence of skin tumors was minimal and the topical application of tacrolimus was not associated with skin tumor formation under ambient room lighting. However, a statistically significant elevation in the incidence of pleomorphic lymphoma in high-dose male (25/50) and female animals (27/50) and in the incidence of undifferentiated lymphoma in high-dose female animals (13/50) was noted in the mouse dermal carcinogenicity study. Lymphomas were noted in the mouse dermal carcinogenicity study at a daily dose of 3.5 mg/kg (0.1% tacrolimus ointment; 2.4-fold the human exposure in stable adult renal transplant patients > 6 months post transplant). No drug-related tumors were noted in the mouse dermal carcinogenicity study at a daily dose of 1.1 mg/kg (0.03% tacrolimus ointment). The relevance of topical administration of tacrolimus in the setting of systemic tacrolimus use is unknown.
The implications of these carcinogenicity studies are limited; doses of tacrolimus were administered that likely induced immunosuppression in these animals, impairing their immune system's ability to inhibit unrelated carcinogenesis.
No evidence of genotoxicity was seen in bacterial (Salmonella and E. coli) or mammalian (Chinese hamster lung-derived cells) in vitro assays of mutagenicity, the in vitro CHO/HGPRT assay of mutagenicity, or in vivo clastogenicity assays performed in mice; tacrolimus did not cause unscheduled DNA synthesis in rodent hepatocytes.
Impairment of Fertility
Tacrolimus given orally at 1 mg/kg (0.8 times the maximum clinical dose based on body surface area) to male and female rats, prior to and during mating, as well as to dams during gestation and lactation, was associated with embryolethality and adverse effects on female reproduction. Effects on female reproductive function (parturition) and embryolethal effects were indicated by a higher rate of pre-implantation loss and increased numbers of undelivered and nonviable pups. When given at 3.2 mg/kg (2.6 times the maximum clinical dose based on body surface area), tacrolimus was associated with maternal and paternal toxicity as well as reproductive toxicity including marked adverse effects on estrus cycles, parturition, pup viability, and pup malformations.
Use In Specific Populations
Pregnancy Category C
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Tacrolimus is transferred across the placenta. The use of tacrolimus during pregnancy in humans has been associated with neonatal hyperkalemia and renal dysfunction.
Tacrolimus given orally to pregnant rabbits at 0.5 times the maximum clinical dose and pregnant rats at 0.8 times the maximum clinical dose was associated with an increased incidence of fetal death in utero, fetal malformations (cardiovascular, skeletal, omphalocele, and gallbladder agenesis) and maternal toxicity. ASTAGRAF XL should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit to the mother justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
In pregnant rabbits, tacrolimus at oral doses of 0.32 and 1.0 mg/kg (0.5 and 1.6 times the maximum clinical dose based on body surface area, respectively) was associated with maternal toxicity as well as an increased incidence of abortions. At the 1 mg/kg dose, fetal rabbits showed an increased incidence of malformations (ventricular hypoplasia, interventricular septal defect, bulbous aortic arch, stenosis of ductus arteriosus, interrupted ossification of vertebral arch, vertebral and rib malformations, omphalocele, and gallbladder agenesis) and developmental variations. In pregnant rats, tacrolimus at oral doses of 3.2 mg/kg (2.6 times the maximum clinical dose) was associated with maternal toxicity, an increase in late resorptions, decreased numbers of live births, and decreased pup weight and viability. Tacrolimus, given orally to pregnant rats after organogenesis and during lactation at 1.0 and 3.2 mg/kg (0.8 and 2.6 times the maximum recommended clinical dose, respectively) was associated with reduced pup weights and pup viability (3.2 mg/kg only); among the high dose pups that died early, an increased incidence of kidney hydronephrosis was observed.
Nursing Mothers
Tacrolimus is present in breast milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse drug reactions in nursing infants from ASTAGRAF XL, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue ASTAGRAF XL, taking into account the importance of drug to the mother.
Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of ASTAGRAF XL in pediatric patients less than 16 years of age have not been established.
Geriatric Use
Clinical studies of ASTAGRAF XL did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. In Studies 1 and 2, 29 patients were 65 years of age and older, and 3 patients were 75 years of age and over [see Clinical Studies]. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
Renal Impairment
The pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus in patients with renal impairment was similar to that in healthy subjects with normal renal function. However, due to its potential for nephrotoxicity, monitoring of renal function in patients with renal impairment is recommended; tacrolimus dosage should be reduced if indicated [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Hepatic Impairment
The mean clearance of tacrolimus was substantially lower in patients with severe hepatic impairment (mean Child-Pugh score: > 10) compared to healthy subjects with normal hepatic function [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. With greater tacrolimus whole blood trough concentrations in patients with severe hepatic impairment, there is a greater risk of adverse reactions and dosage reduction is recommended [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]. For patients with moderate hepatic impairment, monitor tacrolimus whole blood trough concentrations. For patients with mild hepatic impairment, no dosage adjustments are needed.
African-American patients may need to be titrated to higher dosages to attain comparable trough concentrations compared to Caucasian patients [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, and Clinical Studies].This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

text: Market Comment 22nd June 2012 Capital Spreads Analysts in Market Comment 22 Jun 2012 0 share Share Tweet Email Share The Dow Jones plunged sharply yesterday losing 250 points to 12,570 recording its second largest fall of the year largely on the back of increasing signals the global economy is heading back into recession. Not only did we see sales of existing homes in the US decline, weaker manufacturing numbers and claims for jobless benefits come in higher than estimates, we also saw trouble from the eurozone with dire manufacturing numbers, a worse than expected services survey from Germany and then to cap things off China's output contracted. This plethora of poor economic data was then compounded by the credit ratings agency Moody's downgrading 15 of the world's largest banks.The downgrade to all these banks, even those banks that are majority or partially government owned, serves to highlight not only that banks remain risky assets for shareholders to hold but the serious difficulties that they continue to face in what is increasingly becoming an even more hostile economic environment. Regulators are splitting them up and imposing more stringent rules upon them, asking them to hold more capital in reserve and then at the same time they are saying they need to lend more to businesses to get investment and growth going again. This move by Moody's doesn't help matters as it'll only make their funding more expensive, but at least the move isn't a complete surprise and none of the banks suffered a huge slash to their ratings.All this negative news has snuffled the recent strength in equity markets and shows once again the fragility of the global economic situation. Naturally this has led to a bout of risk aversion this morning affecting all assets classes with even gold taking a hit as well. The FTSE at the time of writing is at 5520, lower by 45 points, testing near term support around this area. A break below 5500 could open up the way for further weakness to 5430 and possibly 5380. To the upside resistance is seen at 5560 and 5610.This week has seen a raft of economic data, most of it bad, turning what had started to be a strong week for the markets into a not so strong week and today we end quietly with only the German Ifo survey to get our teeth into. Considering yesterday saw a worse than expected services number and despite a Spanish bailout and desired outcome from the Greek elections, the eurozone crisis is still very much in everyone's minds and we could see the expected decline to 106.2 come in lower.A slump in investor sentiment weighed on the euro as output figures around the world tumbled steeply, sending everyone into the safety of the US dollar. There are now growing expectations the ECB will ease its monetary policy in trying to deal with debt ridden Greece, Spain and Italy. The common currency lost 149 pips to 1.2548 as the euro area is confronted with additional pressure on its banks but also on its sovereigns.We saw a violent sell off in gold prices yesterday below the psychologically important $1600 mark as it becomes clear the world is still in deflationary mode. Commodity prices are slumping, the developing economies are contracting and the precious metal is currently losing the safe haven battle with the greenback. Overall gold prices dropped $42 bucks to $1564 also being hurt by what markets believe is a lack of conviction in Fed's actions.The WTI crude prices followed a sharp nosedive in equity markets which in turn was triggered by yet another string of disappointing economic data. It dropped below the $80.00 mark for the first time since October last year, closing $2.88 down at $78.20. A higher US currency added extra downside pressure as did the oil inventories statistics released on Wednesday which indicated supply at record levels, last seen in 1990.

Civil partnerships have proved far more popular than originally forecast, with more than 50,000 same-sex couples having tied the knot in Britain, official figures showed today.
So-called "gay divorces" are also rising as couples approach the "seven-year itch", the Office for National Statistics (ONS) disclosed.
The number of civil partnerships formed since the ceremonies were legalised in December 2005 stood at 53,417 – equivalent to 106,834 civil partners – at the end of 2011.
When the last Labour government introduced the policy, it estimated that between 11,000 and 22,000 people would enter into civil partnerships in their first five years.
The ONS reported that 672 civil partnership dissolutions were granted in 2011, compared with 522 the year before, an increase of 29 per cent. Just over two per cent of male partnerships and 4.6 per cent of female partnerships had split up by that date.
Sarah Wood-Heath, a solicitor at Natalie Gamble Associates, which specialises in non-traditional family law, said: "An increase in dissolutions is a natural progression from the increase in the number of partnerships.
"Often couples need special advice because of the way children are conceived in a same-sex partnership - and the custody issues surrounding that can be different."
After an initial rush of couples wanting to pledge their commitment to each another, numbers of civil partnership ceremonies have started creeping up again.
More than 15,400 couples entered into partnerships in 2006, the first full year after they were legalised, as long-standing couples acted to formalise their relationship.
The number dropped to 8,946 in 2007, 7,169 in 2008 and 6,281 in 2009. It increased to 6,385 in 2010 and to 6,795 in 2011, an increase of 6.4 per cent over the year.
The average age of people becoming partners fell slightly to 40.1 years old for men and to 38.3 years old for women.
The councils with the highest number of civil partnership registrations last year were Westminster, with 219 male and 56 female partnerships, and Brighton and Hove, with 121 male and 101 female partnerships.
London has been the most popular region in England and Wales to register a civil partnership in every year since the legislation was introduced. More than a quarter of civil partnerships last year took place in the capital.
The enthusiasm with which the concept of civil partnerships has been embraced in Britain will be seized on by supporters of gay marriage.
David Cameron has pledged to legislate to allow same-sex marriages by the year 2015, but has run into strong opposition among church leaders and more than 50 of his backbenchers as well as a handful of Labour MPs. A petition opposing the move, organised by the Coalition for Marriage, has attracted 589,000 signatures.
However, a succession of polls has shown strong public backing for homosexual couples to be allowed to marry.
A spokesman for Stonewall, the gay rights campaign group, said: "It is evidently fantastic news that so many people have entered civil partnerships and that they have proved so popular. It is not just same-sex couples but wider society that supports this as well."

There are so many things I love about this Cookware set.
The heat resistant handle stays cool & the handle feels good when gripping it.
The Pear Speckle color is very pretty however the photos online do not accurately represent the actual color. I think the actual color is prettier than the online pictures.
The brass detail on the lids make them special
The non-stick coating works well. So much better than the pots I have been using to cook.
Excellent value when compared with other retailers.
I waited a long time to get my Paula Deen 12 piece cookeware set in Pear. After a series of errors by Walmart, I finally was able to get one before all Paula Deen items are gone. I am sad for that. This cookware set is a beautiful green color speckled just like a pear. It had glass lids which I love, has a nie shape to the saucepans, and a very attractive pink accent on the knobs of the lids. Very attractive and brightens up the black and stainless steel in our kitchen. It has Tefal non stick, and has a very appropriate and versitile collection of 3 saucepans, and a stockpot, plus two frypans, one medium and one large. Also the kitchen spatula is flexible. Both spatula dn spon are also a good size. Cooking with the set is a pleasure. Heat is spread over the bottom of the pan equally. We have Propane here. I always buy nonstick, and always have. You won't be disappointed in this set. I just am just upset that they will no longer be available, for you guys to buy due to the problems Pula Deen has going though lately. I do hope that everyone can get past that, and that these and other kitchen products from Paula Deen will soon be back on the shelf.
i really love my new paula deen cookware!! and it looks so good with my new potrack from walmart!! just look at my pic!! i sure do love these two items!!
I recieved the robins egg blue set as a wedding shower present in July 2011... they look the same as the day they came out of the box! call me lazy if you want but I do not hand wash dishes if i have a chance--thats why i have a dishwasher! I use easily 2-3 of the pieces in the set every night for dinner and have to say it is actually a joy to cook with these! they clean up so easy! i have never had any of the color chip or come off like others have said. I just bought one for my mom because she helped me clean up after a birthday party and in her words- could not believe how evenly it cooked and ease of clean up. it has a good weight and feel to it. but when i went to purchase my moms set i saw the reviews of people saying its not durable and I had to come on here and tell you that i have washed mine in the dishwasher literally hundreds of times and they are still perfect and i am not a "gentle cook"-- if it says stir vigiorously - thats what i do and not even a single scratch on them. if you want a HUGE bang for your buck that will last- this is it. mother and daughter approved (and pretty too) :) Happy cooking!
i have had this cookware set for since they first came out. And i love them! They are still holding up well after nearly three years. The bottom of the large skillet has a little rough mark on it and the quart pot has one little place where my son used a fork to take something out of it.( Talk about screaming) lol. I DO NOT put these in the dishwasher, as i learned years ago that it is murder on teflon. so i wash them by hand. but honestly THEY ARE NONSTICK so it is no big deal a little soap and water, rinse and ur done. Mine hang on display above the back of my stove and they look so nice even after three years. I gave a set to my eldest daughter last year for christmas and she loves them. and intend to give another set to another daughter this year. I only wish they had had the baking peices with them when i had got my set. I would reccomend them to any one. They are excellent!
I searched for a long time for the perfect red pots to go with my kitchen...and I picked these. At first I loved them the look was amazing in my kitchen and they worked really well...then I started washing them after I would use them (who wouldn't right?) and the finish on the outside kept coming off!! I couldn't believe something with Paula Deans name on it would be so terrible. they still work and they hold up to the easy cleaning (after I gave up on hand washing since I figured it was just my dishwasher taking the outside coat off...but hand washing was even worse I could see the color coming off on my sponge!) After not even 8 months I have pots that look terrible and everytime I wash them more red comes off. Very dissapointed in the finish of these pots!
I am a serious cook an have found it very hard to find quality pans that stand up with the test of time. I by chance saw these pans and for the price I could not pass them up without giving them a try. Wow I was amazed at how evenly the pans cooked and was even more amazed with the quality. I had my first set... The orange set for a year and purchases the pear, and blue set for myself and a separate set for my daughter. My first set is still going strong and I am simply amazed at the quality and durability of these pans, I can't get over it. I cook for a family of 5 and use my pans on a daily basis and would not trade them for any other pan. If you are looking for a great quality pan set look not further you found it. I work hard for my money and want quality and found it here. Thank you Paula Dean keep the pans a comin!
I was really excited to get this set last year, as an upgrade from the cheap cookware I had been using. I have other Paula Deen items that I like a lot, and trusted the brand enough to invest in this set. At first it was great, and I was really happy with my investment. Easy to clean, looked nice, and cooked well. Only initial complaint was that the pans are not balanced and sit on angle while on a burner (both normal range and glass top), making it necessary to hold the handle during cooking to make sure the whole pan gets hot. Then a few months went by...how disappointed I was to see the nonstick finish on the inside of all the pots and pans scratched and peeling!!! I only use silicone spatulas, or Paula Deen brand utensils, never metal, and I don't even own a dishwasher, so what the heck happened? It happened with every single piece in the set and they look terrible now. I don't even want to use them because I don't want flakes of nonstick coating in my food. Waste of money. I've had cheaper sets that have outlasted the finish on these overpriced pans. Don't waste your money if you are looking for a long lasting set of cookware. :(
These pans were okay for the first month, but they did not last long. The inside of the pans started coming apart and even would flake in my food. The biggest issue was the red pans, when wet would bleed red. The red would get all over on my dish rag, clothes, and hands. I was worried about it getting in my food as well. I would not recommend these pans.
I had bought a bargain pan set, but I was so frustrated because everything would stick and the black coating would come off on food! Even if you only cook every once in a while, these pans are fantastic and nothing sticks at all. My fried egg even slides around the pan during cooking! Clean up is so easy, I could not be more happy. Worth the price!
I bought this 6 months ago. It has held up wonderfully! It still looks and cooks like new. It truely is non-stick. These are the easiest pans I've ever had to clean. Truely a GREAT product for the price!
I purchased this pan set and not even six months after the purchase. The pans starting peeling into my food. We even used plastic spatulas and stuff. I am very unsatisfied and Paula Dean is one of my favorite cooks on the Cooking Network.
I thank you for this product, I love everything that there is about this product. It is easy to clean, heats evenly, is non-stick just as it says and it is pretty too. Thank you Paula Deen and Wal-mart. I would recommend it and buy it again.
thought this seemed like a nice pot and pan set..................until I read the information that came with it. apparently you can't use these on glass ceramic stove tops unless you want to risk fusing the two together. unfortunately, they do not mention this on the box, so now I'm stuck with a pot and pan set I can not use unless I want to risk ruining my stove top. why in the world would somebody make something that won't work on half the stove tops in use?
I ordered the light blue speckled set, and the color is phenomenal! The nonstick coating is fabulous, and I love the matching utensils! My fiancé and I are getting married in December, and these are going to be perfect for us now and for many years to come - plus they'll look fantastic in my kitchen. They're a great set of pots and pans, and though I do feel like I paid for the Paula Deen name a little bit, I know I will be able to use these for a very long time.
I also bought the 12 QT stockpot, the chefs pan, and the whistling tea kettle in the same colors - I couldn't find them on walmart.com, but I was able to locate them in various stores - and I love the way everything matches without being boring ol' silver colored. The only pan I wish I could find was the covered sautee pan, but I can only seem to find it in Red and Oatmeal, so I bought everything I could find to match the set because it seems the color may be discontinued... :/
But overall... GREAT pots and pans. I'd recommend them to anyone!
Bought these figuring they would be good quality with Paula Deen's name on them--couldn't be more wrong. Have only had them 7 months and already the non stick coating is coming off. Loved the way they looked for about a month until the coating started peeling off. I read and followed all the care instructions, so not sure why it happened. Hope anybody who purchases this product has better luck than I did.
My sister & I bought this for our mom. It matched her kitchen and that's about it. They take FOREVER to heat up to be used and the inside of every pan has started to flake. We bought it because she had changed decor after 10 years and we thought we'd replace her older set by Cook's Essentials (QVC). But these are horrible and my son uses them outside for his toys and building dirt castles and pies.
Color fades to an ugly chalky pink and rubs off onto other pans.
I love Paula Deen, who doesn't?? I bought this beautiful set in red to go with my kitchen color scheme. Well just under a year after I bought them the non stick coating started to flake in the big pot, then slowly in each pot and pan. I use the spoon and spatula that it came with or wooden spoons- no metal. I use nonstick pan approved srubbies no Brillo, and they have been a huge disappointment. I have a nonstick pan that I've had for years with no issues and was certain that this set would be great quality being endorsed by Paula. This was a major let down.

I am not a non-stick fan, however, these pans and pots are very good. We have been using them for close to a year and they have not scratched or chipped. They also make frying very easy for a beginner as the heating properties are great for the price.

Nissan Teams Up With Carfax To Provide Car Shoppers With Recall Info
Nissan North America announced today it will begin sharing information for Nissan and Infiniti vehicles with Carfax, in an effort to provide used-car shoppers with improved access to information on open safety and emissions recalls.
"We strive to have recall campaign work completed in a timely fashion," said John Spoon, vice president, Parts and Service, NNA. "By working with Carfax we are making it easier for customers to determine if a vehicle has an open campaign and encouraging campaign service completion."
The aim of this formation is to ensure that used car shoppers can access this important information through a convenient third-party database.
"Carfax and Nissan North America are committed to keeping our roadways safe," said Larry Gamache, communications director at Carfax. "Adding Nissan and Infiniti to the list of manufacturers providing open recall campaign information to Carfax helps notify car owners and buyers and gets these cars into dealerships to be fixed."

text: Higher purchase expectations continue to be placed upon larger aircraft, implying they will command the bulk of the value billed from now until 2022. This class of business jet is expected to account for nearly 70 percent of all expenditures on new business jets. Volume growth between now and 2022 will also be represented by this class of aircraft, reflecting more than one-third of additional units and two-thirds of additional retail value."The trend toward larger cabin aircraft with ever-increasing range expectations and advanced avionics continues to be reflected in this year's survey," said Rob Wilson, president, Honeywell Business and General Aviation. "As a full spectrum supplier to the industry, Honeywell has been successful in building strong content levels on most of the more popular super midsize and larger aircraft in production or scheduled to enter service over the next few years." "The Honeywell operator survey has been an invaluable tool for the industry over the past two decades," explained Carl Esposito, Honeywell Aerospace Vice President of Marketing and Product Management. "The annual outlook has helped guide our own product decision process that has led to focused investments such as designing and developing optimized propulsion offerings, flight efficiency upgrades, innovative safety products, and enhanced services." REGIONAL BUYING DETAILS Regional purchasing results are nuanced according to each market's maturity, economic environment and other characteristics. Emerging markets generally show higher but historically more volatile levels of demand, as well as a more pronounced preference for larger aircraft. As developed markets' performance strains under both economic sluggishness and business lifecycle transitions, emerging markets have been shaping the industry's growth, backlog and portfolio composition or mix. The overall level of forecast aircraft demand coming from outside North America continues to increase as projected. This year, roughly 53 percent of projected demand comes from North American operators, down two points from the 2011 survey. Honeywell first spotlighted growth in the BRIC countries ( Brazil, Russia, India and China) last year. In 2011, these results led the survey with 50 percent of respondents reporting acquisition plans. This has since lowered to 46 percent but with a firming profile. While last year less than one-third of BRIC purchases were planned to happen within two years, this year more than 40 percent of those surveyed say they intend to begin purchasing activity in the next two-year timeframe. Some signs of uncertainty regarding business conditions do show up in this group's timing profile, with a marked increase of purchases not allocated to a specific year or placed by default in 2017. Together, the emerging market results from BRIC countries reflect a slight tempering of enthusiasm compared to a year ago but are still quite strong when compared with other regions, or with results accrued during the more than 20 years Honeywell has been conducting this survey.
