Civil Documents
Austrian citizens may ask the Consulate General in New York, if need be, to help them obtain civil documents. However, a fee will be charged and the following must be true:
a) Austrian citizens living within the consular jurisdiction of the Consulate need civil documents from Austria.
b) Austrian citizens living outside the consular jurisdiction of the Consulate need civil documents from governmental agencies located in the area covered by the Consulate. In the latter case, the documents requested will be sent to you via the headoffice in Vienna or an Austrian Embassy/Consulate abroad.
Please note: Due to strict Austrian privacy laws, documents and official certificates can be requested only by the subject, the spouse, the children, and the parents. Thus, the following information must at least be included in the request:
a) Purpose for which document is needed,
b) Relationship to the person whose record is requested,
c) Proof of that relationship by sending e.g. copy of your passport, copy of marriage certificate etc.
A. Documents from Austria
a) Civil documents (Certificates of Birth, Marriage, and Death)
Please contact the local Vital Records Registry (Standesamt) of the village/town/city concerned and request the document you are looking for to be issued on an "international" form (to avoid any translation hassles later on). The addresses and phone numbers of all Vital Records Registries in Austria are listed in the Austrian phone directory and at the Behördenwegweiser.
Please note that until 1938 (in Burgenland till 1895) the registration of births, marriages, and deaths was done by the local churches and religious communities. Starting in 1870 and lasting till 1938, civil documents of individuals without a religious affiliation were issued by the county government. In the province of Burgenland, civil documents have been issued by the towns and villages since 1895.
Tip: Civil documents issued by Austrian authorities in general need an apostille to be both valid and recognized in the United States (see link: "Authentication"). Thus, please do not forget to apply for an apostille as well when requesting an Austrian civil document.
b) Driver's License
In the case of loss or theft of your Austrian driver's license abroad, you may request a replacement at the competent authority in Austria via the Consulate. The Austrian Consulate General itself does not issue driver's licenses.
To request a replacement for a stolen/lost driver's license, please provide the following documents:
- Application (in German only)
- ID (passport)
- 1 passport picture (same criteria as for Austrian passports)
- if applicable: police report for your lost/stolen driver's license
- if possible: copy of lost or stolen driver's license
- proof of last residence in Austria (Meldezettel)
- proof of current residence in the US (US driver's license, lease, utility bill,...)
It is not compulsory to swap your old-format driver's license for a driver's license in check card size. The application and payment can be processed through a consulate or an honorary consulate.
c) Other documents and certificates
Certificates of good conduct (criminal record) from Austria can be requested via the Consulate General or one of the Honorary Consulates. Further information can be found by following the link to "Certificate of good conduct (criminal record)."
Copies of Austrian divorce decrees can be obtained by directly contacting the District Court which has issued the decree. It is recommended to call first. Addresses and phone numbers are listed at the Behördenwegweiser.
Personal Identity Cards ("Personalausweis"; some countries accept them as travel documents) can also be obtained through the Austrian Consulate. You would need to provide the same documents as for the application of a new passport. You can download the application form for a personal ID card (Personalausweis) here.
B. Documents issued by governmental authorities and agencies located in the area covered by the Consulate
Austrian citizens living in Austria who need official documents and certificates from governmental authorities and agencies located in the area covered by the Consulate are kindly asked to directly contact either the governmental agency (e.g. village, county) in the US or the citizen help desk at Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Vienna.
Addresses, phone numbers, and links to governmental authorities and agencies in the US are listed at:
New York State

Foreign exchange (FX) investors saw the Canadian dollar to pound sterling rate (GBP/CAD) fall back from the best conversion level in around 3 months.
Although his Liberal government was elected on a promise to balance the books by the end of their first term in power, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has boosted the Canadian dollar to pound spot exchange rate by claiming government deficits will be higher-than-anticipated.
The news that the Canadian government will prioritise spending to boost growth over cutting the deficit at the expense of the economy has improved the CAD/GBP cross prospects.
As we approach the weekend, where does the CAD stand against the other currency peers today? WE look at the winners and losers in Canadian crosses:
- The Canadian dollar managed to advance 0.81 per cent against the weak Australian dollar.
- The CAD also pushed 0.97 pct ahead vs the Swiss franc.
- Strong gains were seen against the euro with the CAD/EUR spot exchange rate seeing 1.11 per cent gains.
- The CAD/GBP cross ended the week just 0.33 pct higher compared to Friday's open.
- The Japanese yen slumped across the board on Friday, with the Canadian asset advancing a huge 1.88 per cent.
- Finally, the USD/CAD exchange rate converted 1.09 pct in the green at the end of the day's trading.
Rising oil prices have helped the Canadian dollar (CAD) against the British pound (GBP) in the near-term outlook.
A number of detrimental factors have also weighed on Pound Sterling of late, not least weak domestic data which highlighted slowing British economic growth.
Bank of England (BoE) dovishness has also played a critical role with many analysts now predicting that the central bank will keep ultra-accommodative policy for a considerable period to come.
Political uncertainty has also dampened demand for the GBP/CAD spot exchange rate with the forthcoming EU referendum clouding investor confidence.
Here are the latest fx rates for your reference;
On Wednesday the Pound to Canadian Dollar exchange rate (GBP/CAD) converts at 1.633
The canadian dollar conversion rate (against pound) is quoted at 0.612 GBP/CAD.
At time of writing the canadian dollar to euro exchange rate is quoted at 0.685.
The CAD to USD exchange rate converts at 0.803 today.
NB: the forex rates mentioned above, revised as of 26th Jul 2017, are inter-bank prices that will require a margin from your bank. Foreign exchange brokers can save up to 5% on international payments in comparison to the banks.
Pound Sterling to Canadian Dollar (GBP/CAD) Exchange Rate News and Outlook
The British Pound continues to trade along the bottom of its three month trading range against the Canadian Dollar.
A deadly mixture of worse than expected UK economic data added to the Bank of England's dovish statements on the outlook for the economy and the timing of interest rate rises together with the political uncertainty generated by the soon to be held 'in / out' referendum on the UK's membership of the EU (European Union) has pressurised the Pound since the turn of the year.
Luckily, against the CAD dollar, the GBP Pound has tended to fare better than it has against other currencies because of the rout of the commodity markets.
Only in January, oil prices reached a 13 year low at under USD $27 a barrel (Brent).
In UK economic data, the respected NIESR (National Institute of Economic and Social Research) reported that the UK economy grew at a slower rate over the three months to January in comparison to the previous three-month period with UK gross domestic product (GDP) growing by just 0.4% during the reference period, down from the 0.5% rate seen over the prior three month period. The primarily cause was weakness in the production sector in both November and December.
James Warren, NIESR Research Fellow commented "The softening of growth in the 3 months to January was primarily driven by weakness in the production sector at the end of last year. Despite our estimates indicating a subdued start to 2016, we do expect the economy to grow by 2.3% this year, primarily driven by consumer spending. However, negative contributions from net trade are expected to weigh heavily on growth. There exist a number of downside risks that have the potential to exacerbate this, should they materialise".
Rising Oil Prices Supported Canadian Dollar (CAD) Exchange Rate Appreciation
Against the Loonie, the Pound had a steady morning session, certainly in comparison to other currency pairs that saw sharp falls in the value of the Pound on the back of the stock market sell-off.
The primary losers were the GBPEUR and GBPUSD currency pairs. The Footsie 100 index is now hovering around the 5,500 mark, its lowest level since 2012.
Pound To Euro 5-Day Exchange Rate Forecast: UK CPI To Provoke Volatility?
No such luck in the afternoon as the Pound lost further ground against the Loonie as the Loonie saw some strengthening support from firmer oil prices after a report that Saudi Arabia might be willing to sign-up to a Venezuelan proposal that producer countries from OPEC (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) and those from outside 'freeze' their oil output at current levels if Iran also signed up to such an agreement.
Venezuela's oil minister, Eulogio del Pino, wants to schedule a meeting for before OPEC's next regularly scheduled summit in June if there is a sufficient consensus on a either a co-ordinated cut in supplies or at least a 'freeze' on current output. That would cut the supply glut in the world oil markets and thus help stabilise oil prices. Rumour is that both Qatar and the Russian Federation had given their initial agreement to the proposal.
Later on, oil prices spiked up by over 4% at one point, strengthening the Loonie and putting further pressure on the Pound.
Market resistance levels on the GBP to CAD spot exchange rate are at 2.0242 followed by 2.0315 whilst support levels are running at 2.0123 followed by 2.0078.

GARETH Ainsworth has appealed to the missing Wycombe fans to return to Adams Park - promising exciting, attacking football.
Blues start a run of three successive home League Two games against Burton Albion tomorrow looking to turn things around, having won just once in front of their own fans all season.
Gates have dipped as a result, with just 3,020 coming through the turnstiles when Wanderers hosted Rochdale a fortnight ago.
But Ainsworth's message to the fans is a simple one - your support is vital if Blues are to turn their season around.
He said: "It would be great to see them. If they've heard the stories about the last three or four games, they'll know the attacking football and all action games are back.
"I don't want to jinx it with a 0-0 on Saturday but I'm sure there's goals in the game. The way we're playing at the moment there's chances and hopefully we can start turning them into goals.
"I really believe we are playing exciting, attacking football, which is what I want to do.
"It's a good spectacle down at Adams Park now. If you haven't been for a while, maybe it would be nice for you to come down and see what we're about."
The Wanderers boss added: "I want to bridge that gap between players and fans and get them all down here and get the place buzzing again. When we got promoted we had huge amounts coming down towards the end of the season.
"The ones who've been there the last couple of games have been fantastic. Earlier on in the season they were a little bit quiet, now they are staying behind at games and singing players' names and really getting behind us.
"Keep coming down and hopefully we can keep this exciting never say die attitude, which is definitely paying off."

Tech Medical Spouse Association:
An Inventory of Its Records, 1927-1983 and undated, at the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library
Biographical Sketch
The Texas Tech School of Medicine chapter of WA-SAMA (Women's Auxiliary of the Student American Medical Association) was formed in 1972. The chapter was not only the first medical student spouses' organization at Texas Tech, but also the first WA-SAMA chapter in the state of Texas. A group of doctors' wives from the Lubbock-Crosby-Garza medical auxiliary assisted in the formation of the Tech chapter of WA-SAMA.
The organization desired to create channels through which wives of medical students, interns, and residents could serve the medical professional and the community and to create a system of communication whereby local members could be informed of national medical issues. Also, the organization hoped to bring medical students, interns, and residents, and their wives together to promote fellowship and understanding among medical families, and to encourage a closer relationship with the local medical profession and their families for mutual benefits.
Scope and Content
The collection consists of organization records and news clippings pertaining to the Tech Medical Spouse Association.

text: RUSH: Donald Trump is taking continuing incoming. It has not stopped since the 16th of June in 2015, and every day Donald Trump is taking more incoming attacks and assaults than I have ever seen. Today, the latest pile on is occurring in congressional hearings. James Comey and Admiral Rogers from the National Security Agency are answering questions from the Democrats. I'll get into that in just a second, specific questions, because what's really going on there I find fascinating. Now, a lot of people, I'm getting emails saying a lot of people are down in the dumps, depressed, maybe not panicking, but a little bit concerned at all this. And I'm gonna try to rein everybody back in and explain what's really going on. I can't deny however, I'm not gonna try to sugarcoat the overall picture here, which is a president under constant assault as illegitimate and unjust. I mean, that's the picture that's being painted. That is the narrative that will not go away, and they are attempting to intensify it each and every day. Now, to somebody like me, super informed, well aware, totally informed on the techniques of the left, to me this effort is flailing. But I'm not the average voter, and I'm not the average person paying attention that's gonna see the headlines from this. For example, the Never Trumpers are orgasmic today. The Never Trumpers on both sides of the aisle, Republican, conservative Never Trumpers, leftist Democrat Drive-By Media Never Trumpers are orgasmic over this. Comey admitted -- big show-and-tell. In fact, let me quickly -- yeah, grab audio sound bite number one. This statement by Comey at the beginning of the congressional hearings today, House Intelligence Committee hearings, this statement has the Never Trumpers in an unchecked bout of orgasmic happiness. COMEY: As you know, our practice is not to confirm the existence of ongoing investigations, especially those investigations that involve classified matters. But, in unusual circumstances where it is in the public interests, it may be appropriate to do so, as Justice Department policies recognize. This is one of those circumstances. I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts. RUSH: Now, this is something, I don't know about you, but I have assumed that this has been going on all along. But this announcement today making it official, that there is an investigation, has these people just ecstatic. They cannot contain themselves. The Never Trumpers, wherever you find them, they think that is one nail in the coffin. Comey just now, just prior to the program beginning -- and I didn't hear this. You know, at some point I have to jump out of this chair and go do stuff. And it just so happened when I came back all I saw was a crawl the bottom of the screen. Comey apparently said to somebody Russians wanted to hurt democracy, hurt Clinton, and help Trump. That statement is a political statement, and it is made by the director of the FBI in the context of intelligence gathering? That is one heck of a statement: Russians wanted to hurt democracy, hurt Clinton, and help Trump. Then how did Hillary end up winning the popular vote? Earlier on today, the Democrats -- led by their chairman, Adam Schiff -- asked... Well, no, the Democrats did not ask this. In fact, this was Devin Nunes: "Any evidence that the Russians tampered with the votes?" Comey: "No." "Rogers, NSA?" "No." "Any evidence the Russians tried to tamper with the outcome of the votes? Ballots?" "No. No." "Any attempt made by the Russians?" "No, we're not aware of any attempt." That should have ended the hearings! But it didn't. Both Comey and the director of the NSA have said there was no effort. There is no evidence of any kind that the Russians had anything to do with the counting of votes or the casting of votes in the 2016 election. And if that's the case, there's no "there" there. But that's not what this is about. This is not about the evidence. This is not about (certainly) any exculpatory evidence. This is about furthering the narrative that Trump's election is illegitimate, and this is designed to move forward whatever efforts there are that we don't know about yet to impeach Trump and to get rid of him. That's what this is all about today. And there's a secondary thing that this is about, and I'll give you detail on this as the program unfolds, but I've watched Adam Schiff, the Democrat chairman, and I've been unable to contain my laughter. Can I give you examples of his questions? He's asking Comey; he's asking the NSA guy, Admiral Rogers, "Do you know Paul Manafort?" (stammering) "Well, I..." "Do you know that Paul Manafort knows Roger Stone?" "Uh, well..." "Do you know that Roger Stone tweeted back on September the 13th that he was going to go to Russia and that he was going to sleep in a hotel?" "Well, I, uh, uh, uh..." "Do you know that Manafort and Stone talked on the phone 10 times? Did the NSA analyze whether the hack of the DNC affected the way people voted?" "Well, uh, um, uhh... Sorry, Senator, I can't comment on that. It's beyond the scope of our investigation." "Can you tell our Democrat voters that you investigation is still in the early phases and that you have a long way to go?" "Can't comment on investigations." Wait a minute. You did with Hillary. "How long are your investigations?" "Well, there's no set time limit, Congresswoman. "Investigations can go on as long as we want them to go." She smiled and said, "Good." "Can you tell me...?" This is another question. "Can you tell me about the process to prove that Trump cheated?" "Uhhhh, no. I can't tell you about our investigative process." "Okay." She didn't actually say "the process to prove Trump cheated." That's implied. What is happening here is that the Democrats on this committee are servicing their base. Their base voters are insane. I have a story here about how they're having nightmares, they're unable to sleep, they're seeking therapy. The Democrat base, because of this irresponsible reporting that Trump and the Russians worked together to screw the election and screw Hillary. Figuratively speaking. That story has been out there since last summer. That story has been fueled and fueled and built and expanded to the point that the Democrat base believes it to be true. There isn't any evidence. James Clapper worked for Clinton. Michael Morell -- the CIA director/agent that worked for Hillary -- came out last week and said there's nothing there. There is no evidence of any kind of any collusion, and there isn't because there wasn't any. And I can give you some questions. I can ask you some questions to kind of make the point, too, in a common sense way. But that's not the point. The point is that the Democrats and the media have so stoked this story that their base believes it. And the Democrats on this committee and the Democrats in the Senate, the Democrats everywhere, are literally scared to death of the day when it will be officially announced that there was no collusion, when this Comey investigation ends and they can't prove any collusion between Trump and the Russians. They are scared to death of that day, of what their base is gonna do. They need their base continuing to donate money. They need their base continuing to remain engaged, and they have used this story -- that Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the election. They have used this story to excuse the fact that they lost. They've used this story to excuse the fact that they had a lousy candidate, to excuse the fact that she ran a lousy campaign, to excuse the fact that she's very unlikable, to excuse the fact that they were so arrogant and condescending in assuming they were gonna win that they didn't even really make a serious effort. All of that has to be covered up. There is no way, in fact, that they could have lost unless the election was stolen from them. And so this narrative has been out there. And it has been fed. The New York Times and the Washington Post and CNN have fed it with stories of wiretapping and any number of things to indicate that Trump was under investigation and that evidence was being accrued and that evidence is being found. There isn't any evidence! The Democrat Party base voter has essentially been told a humongous lie. I don't think when this all started it ever was intended to get this big, but it kept feeding on itself. And now they've got nowhere to go. There's even a story. Glenn Greenwald is friend of Snowden's and worked with him on his story and is a left-wing journalist. He has a website called The Intercept, and he published a massive story yesterday about just this very fact, that there is no evidence and that the Democrats -- elected Democrats -- are scared to death over the fact this has gotten so big that expectations have been raised so high and that there isn't any evidence for it. So these questions, such as, "Do you know Paul Manafort? Did you hear what Donald Trump tweeted on December 19th? Did you read what Donald Trump tweeted in January?" All of these meaningless questions, they're just simply reading Democrat talking points. They're taking quotes from the New York Times and the Washington Post and asking these quotes as questions to Comey and the NSA guy. And Comey and the NSA guy say, 'Well, I can't comment. We never comment on things the media. We, blah, blah..." It doesn't matter what the answers are. The questions are designed to have the Democrat rabid and lunatic base out there standing up and cheering. "Yeah! You tell 'em! You tell 'em." Because there is a palpable fear on the Democrat side that there's nothing here and that there won't be anything found. Not legitimately. The way this is going, though, I don't know what you call legitimate and illegitimate anymore. You just don't know where this is going. This has gotten so big and, folks, it's so out of hand now. There are so many reputations tied up in this bogus theory that Trump and the Russians worked together to hack and steal the election. There are political careers hangin' on this one, and when that's the case, all bets are off as to who's gonna end up saying and doing what, 'cause it's gotten much, much bigger than anybody ever intended. And that's because the people behind this are completely and totally irresponsible. They have been gobsmacked. They simply cannot deal with the fact that they lost the election. And then you add that Trump won it, is just... It's unacceptable. It's a nightmare. It's surreal. To them, none of this is happening. It's impossible to lose an election to Donald Trump. It's impossible. It's impossible that Hillary Clinton could lose an election to anybody, but to Donald Trump? Oh, my God, it's even worse! So there has to be something to explain it. And that's what all this is about. James Comey also said something. I'm being a little scattershot here, and then we'll come back in the break and I'm gonna go through this in order. But I want to get it out all on the table before I forget it. Comey said something interesting today that nobody's picked up on yet because they're so distracted by this other stuff, which I can understand. He was asked specifically if WikiLeaks was furnished their information on Podesta and the phone calls by the Russians, and Comey said no. Well, now, everybody on the Democrat side believes that the Russians gave Assange and WikiLeaks everything they hacked. Again, I want to remind everybody -- the truth of this has not been mentioned yet -- Podesta was not hacked. Podesta fell for a phishing scam. Now, you might, on a loose definition, call it a hack. But it's not a hack in the sense that you and I think of hacks. Nobody got into Podesta's computer. He let them in. He invited them in, unknowingly. Russia did not deal directly with WikiLeaks, Comey said. They had a cut-out, which is an intermediary. Well, who was that? WikiLeaks has insisted that they didn't get anything from Russia, that Russia was not their source, and Comey confirmed that today. I expect later on today somebody will realize Comey said this and they'll mention it, make something of it. But it is astounding to me to watch this, 'cause it's now gotten... When I say "out of control," it means the story has gone beyond anybody's ability to control it now, and it has its own inertia, and it has an outcome that has to happen in order to save some political careers. And that outcome is that Trump and Russia colluded. They have built these expectations up so high, and there isn't any evidence, and there never has been any evidence. But I'd like to know: Who initiated the FBI's investigation of Trump? We've been hearing all along that there is one. Who initiated that, and why? When did it begin? Any Obama holdovers involved in this? Any Obama embeds in the bureaucracy involved in this? What about Clinton campaign members meeting with Russians? Is any of that being investigated? We know that a lot of people that work for the Democrats met with Russians. We know that Bill Clinton worked with a guy in Canada to basically give -- well, sell to the point where the Clintons profited -- a great portion of the U.S. uranium supply. What about coordination between CNN and Hillary Clinton? What about the Democrat National Committee rigging their primary against Bernie Sanders? Is there any investigation of that? What about the investigation of the Clinton Foundation? We're told that there was one. Well, we don't know; nobody's officially said so. Influence peddling to foreign countries? Obama's ransom payments to Iran? The one-sidedness of this is striking. Now, it's early on in the hearings, and I'm gonna say something here that may be a little bit premature, and it's only based on what I have seen. But there hasn't been... Correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Snerdley. There hasn't been... Aside from Trey Gowdy, there hasn't been a whole lot of push-back on much of this from the Republicans. There's been some, but not as much as you would expect. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Senator Grassley of Iowa has just tweeted in the last few minutes the following: "FBI Director Comey needs to be transparent and tell the public what he told me about whether he is or is not investigating the president." What does that mean? Grassley just tweeted this within the last half hour, and apparently, if I'm judging this the way a normal person would, Grassley's watching Comey and thinks Comey's saying something different than what he told him. Apparently Grassley says that Comey told him something about whether or not the FBI's investigating the president that differs from what Comey said today. Comey also says -- get this -- that he launched the FBI investigation of Trump and Russia in July. July? That's before Trump even had the nomination. Why were the Russians helping Trump when he might not even be the nominee? This is getting even screwier by the minute as things continue to unfold here. BREAK TRANSCRIPT Another sound bite from the FBI director James Comey under questioning from Republican Mike Conaway from Texas. "As of early December 2016 the FBI assessed that the active measures conducted against Secretary Clinton were to denigrate her, were to hurt her, her campaign, and undermine her presidency." Again, he's reminding Comey that the FBI assessed in December of 2016, after the election, that active measures conducted against Hillary Clinton were to denigrate her, to hurt her campaign and undermine her presidency. "And the conclusion that active measures were taken specifically to help Trump's campaign, you had that by early December, you had that conclusion. Is that correct?" COMEY: Correct. They wanted to hurt our democracy, hurt her, help him. I think all three we were confident in at least as early as December. Putin hated Secretary Clinton so much that the flip side of that coin was he had a clear preference for the person running against the person he hated so much. RUSH: This is an incredible bit of news from the FBI director. Now, there's an ongoing investigation. I'm just trying to put these pieces together. There's an ongoing investigation and there has been now since July. Comey told lawmakers today that his agency's been investigating possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian officials since last July. It doesn't make sense. I mean, who's running the FBI and the Department of Justice last July? It'd be the Obama administration doing this. But James Clapper, Obama administration, and a couple of others have said they've seen no evidence whatsoever of any collusion. And yet Comey knows all this? That Putin hated Clinton so much, the flip side of that coin was he had a clear preference for the person running against the person he hated so much. So Russia wanted to hurt our democracy and Hillary and help Trump. Now, mind you, folks, all of this is being said, and there isn't any evidence of it. So it's clear to me what's going on here. Look at what has actually happened. We have Donald Trump on the phone with foreign leaders after he becomes president, and even during the transition, classified phone calls. Those are leaked. The transcripts of his phone calls are leaked, and they're lied about. In the case of his phone call with the president of Mexico, it was said to be an abomination of a call, a disaster. It turns out not to be true. Same thing with the prime minister of Australia, said to be so bad that somebody hung up on somebody in the call. Turns out neither was the case. Now Trump's private taxes have been leaked. The New York Times and the Washington Post have run story after story after story using the word "wiretaps." There have been nameless sources in the intelligence community all over the past two months of last year leaking various elements of things, but no evidence of any of it. The New York Times, on January 20th, said there were wiretaps in which Trump and his team were being investigated. And yet with all that there's no evidence of collusion, and yet Trump's the subject of the investigation, when his taxes have been leaked, when his phone calls are being monitored, Trump is the subject of an FBI investigation. Some of the reason why this doesn't makes sense to me, in the first place, folks, if you're the Russians, and you want to affect the outcome of the election, you don't have to get in touch with one of the candidates. You can do that on your own. You don't need anybody's permission. Let's say the Russians wanted to help Hillary. They don't need to call her and get her permission to help her undermine Trump, or vice-versa. They just do it. The next thing. There hasn't been any kind of a quid pro quo here. And by that I mean, Trump has not lifted the sanctions that Obama placed on the Russians. Trump has not let the 35 ambassadors or diplomats that Obama sent back to Moscow, he's not let them back in. There hasn't been one, not one indication of Trump going soft on Russia, not one. Nikki Haley at the U.N. speaks out against Russia in no uncertain terms. And if there were collusion, let me ask you this. If there were collusion, let's say if Trump and the Russians were actually working together, don't you think Trump, rather than acting all buddy-buddy with Putin and all friendly, would have been scorching Putin all this time to throw everybody off the scent? If there were actual collusion, if Trump and Putin were big buddies and working together to somehow undermine the election, which even today it was stated didn't happen. The big news of these hearings is not even being reported! The big news of these hearings is that the Russians did not, could not, would not, have not, don't know how to tamper with votes. They didn't do it. I mean, there wasn't even any hemming or hawing in the answers. Both Comey and Admiral Rogers definitively said in one-word answers "no" to all kinds of questions about whether or not the Russians had anything to do with votes, either the way they were cast or the way they were counted. Nope, nope, nope, nope. We even know that this Jill Stein babe, the Democrat, the Green Party candidate, whatever, she did this recount, Trump ended up getting more votes in some of these states than what he ended up with in the official count. There is no evidence. That, to me, is the news of these hearings. But that's not what's being reported. That's in fact being ignored. So if you're Trump and you're working with the Russians anyway, even though there's no way to sabotage the vote, wouldn't you go out of your way in public to scorch Putin every chance you got, scorch the Russians, instead of talking about how much you admire Putin, what a great guy Putin is, and how much you appreciate Putin complimenting you, which Trump did? So much of this is simple violation of common sense and human nature. And as far as the Russians are concerned, okay, so they hack the Democrat National Committee network and they leave evidence that it was them. And yet what did we learn recently? We learned in another WikiLeaks Treasury trove of documents released from the CIA that the CIA has software that can hack computers and leave fingerprints of other nations. (interruption) You were not here that day. That's why you're frowning, but that is big news. Well, it is big news, but it's not being reported, not being talked about. But the CIA has numerous hacking tools that allows them to hack any computer network and make it look like the Russians did it or the Chinese or the Japanese or the Norks. Why would the Russians leave evidence that it was them? If they were serious about hacking the DNC and they wanted to really make it work, and they wanted to remain in the shadows, have nobody know it, why would they leave fingerprints that trail right back to them? Now, if you want to play the double psychology move, okay, "Well, they wanted to do that precisely, Rush, because people would ask questions like you. And so they left their fingerprints so that people would say just what you said. 'Why would the Russians -- it couldn't be the Russians. They wouldn't be stupid enough to leave their own evidence.'" Well, you gotta be too cute by half to come up with answers to this that violate common sense. But again, all of this, see, this is the frustrating thing, folks. The big news of the day is, no evidence whatsoever that the Russians hacked voting. No evidence whatsoever. It's not possible. They're not investigating whether any of that happened. It just didn't because it couldn't. Obama has said so. Any number of people before all this heated up the way it is said so. But that's not the news. Because the purpose of all of this is to permanently damage Donald Trump and make it impossible for him to govern. That's all this is about. There's a secondary aspect of it with the Democrats on the committee having to service their lunatic base, which has been led to believe that Russia did hack the election and that Trump was part of it. That story has been around for so long, it's been added to for so long and it's been amplified, they believe it now. The expectations have been raised to the point here that the truth, the Democrats are scared to death of the day their base learns that none of this happened. So that day has to be kicked down the road. That day has to be delayed as long as it can, and that's what the purpose of these hearings is, to make it look like there's something there there, to make it look like the ongoing investigation's getting close. But it is to overall paint Donald Trump's presidency as illegitimate and therefore his agenda illegitimate and things that he wants, his budget, health care revisions, tax cuts, whatever, is to make it all illegitimate and subject to reversal should they be able to get rid of Trump because he shouldn't have been there in the first place. That's what this is about. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I got a message from somebody who's shocked at all of this incoming at Donald Trump, who just can't believe it, who thought there would be some support and some unity by now. This person believes that what Trump wants to do is what's exactly needed in this country and thought that there would be -- after a certain passage of time -- at least some support for doing the right thing, for changing the direction of the country. To bring it back economically. To help people do better. To make health care more affordable. This person is just shocked at what he's seeing today and is asking me if I... Folks, look, I... (sigh) I'm not. I hate playing the "I told you so" game -- y'know, the nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah -- but I just want to go on record: None of this surprises me. And I'm sure that if we search the archives of this program I can come up with countless examples where I predicted something like this. I mean, obviously not specifically. But, you know, this isn't left versus right. This isn't Democrat versus Republican. This is establishment versus outsider or whatever term that you want to attach to Donald Trump here. And what we're seeing, what all of this is... These hearings today, what happened last week and the week before that, what happened during the transition period... What all of this is can be explained simply by saying, "Look at how terrified they are in the Washington-New York establishment, of Donald Trump and draining the swamp." The Never Trumpers on both sides of the aisle. There are conservative Never Trumpers today celebrating over the fact that Comey made it official that there's an investigation of Trump and colluding with the Russians. These people know that there isn't any evidence of this, but that doesn't matter. What everybody in Washington supports is the smearing, the slander, and the libel of Donald Trump. And these hearings today? The FBI director, James Comey, is trying to save the jobs of a lot of people. He's trying to save the careers of a whole lot of people -- his included -- in, I think, an inappropriate way. And the Republicans in this committee? Look folks, I've been waiting. I've been patiently waiting. I've been trying to hold it, keep the powder dry. But the Republicans on this committee... I know it's early, and they're gonna go on all day. But so far, outside of Trey Gowdy and a question from Peter King and Devin Nunes the chairman, there just hasn't been much. For example, "Are you still investigating the Clinton Foundation, Director Comey?" "I can't say." By the way, Comey said he got special permission to reveal this investigation. Who gave him that special permission? He said he went to the Department of Justice. Who's over there? Who runs that? That it would be Jeff Sessions. The Trump administration itself granted permission for Comey to announce this today. (interruption) Well, no. My point there is that there's no attempted cover-up of anything going on there. The Trump administration could very well have said, Jeff Sessions could have said, "Comey, look, it's just like you said last summer about Hillary: We don't detail ongoing investigations." But he today was given permission to do just that, and he's running with it. And the whole point of this today -- and, by the way, it doesn't mean I'm not gonna go through this and give you what the real news of these hearings is today and what the backdrop of all this is. Because there's a really salient factor that's driving this from the Democrat side that is never going to be reported or commented on, which I'm going to touch on myself today. But, as I say, the purpose of this is to further the narrative that Trump is illegitimate, that he should not be president, that his election was the result of tampering by the Russians. So the objective is that Trump either stops this reform business he's got, stops this drain-the-swamp stuff, and starts letting the Washington Republicans run the town again, or they're gonna impeach him. That's the message being sent today: "You either straighten up and fly right or you're gone." "We're coming for you," is the message of these hearings today. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: James Comey says the Russians are trying to undermine faith in our elections. Maybe. But I'll tell you what's happening today on Capitol Hill is doing more to undermine faith in our elections than anything the Russians have done.

Dear Russell and other interested readers,
As far as I know the archives do not have the references online and
their site is an introduction to their services only, at this stage.
They said sometime in the near future, but that can take a long time!
The searchable NAAIRS webpage at
http://www.probizconsulting.com.au/Naairs/ is an independent effort by
Johan van Zyl and some of the Rootsweb list members to pool resources
(almost like a library) and is not connected to the official archives
at all, although it has their permission and blessing.
At this point the only way to get references to documents in the
National archives is by writing to the archives in Pretoria. They also
have an e-mail address - contact Ms Hendi Slump at
She will tell you how many references there
are for your specific query (name, year or subject) and how many disks
will be needed, plus cost per full disk or part thereof. (Was R25 for
2,500 entries last year) Remember that the search criterion they use
does not take variations in spelling into account - ie Pieterse,
Pieters, Pietersen and Pieterson are all separate requests.
Once someone has acquired the archive references for names that do not
appear on the independent NAAIRS website already, they can be
forwarded as free shareware for inclusion in the database. ie your
names of interest will not appear there until they've been submitted
by somebody who went to the effort of actually ordering and forwarding
Many list members have already generously sent their acquisitions to
Johan, and it is to be hoped that many more will do so in the future,
to enable the site to grow to it's full potential.

Scandinavia in early summer(6 Posts)
Ask away! I hope you love Sweden and if you need any information about visiting Stockholm specifically, I should be able to help, hopefully.
That's so helpful, thanks. Looks like Sweden it is. We quite fancy spending a couple of days exploring Stockholm, then heading up into the archipelago for a week of nature.
Now off to start researching! Thank you for all your help, is it ok if I come back to you with further questions?!
Well, all of them are quite child friendly, but when near a lake or a fjord you obviously have to take precautions, there are usually swimming areas in each lake (a small beachy area) which you should go to. The forest areas all around are great, and generally places are quite child friendly in Scandinavia. I'd say that the more northern areas are less likely to be child friendly simply because they are usually more remote, and sometimes the areas around cottages up there will be not as well kept- yes, it will look nice and be good for a sure footed adult, but I'd be concerned.
Most people staying in cabins in the summer, if they aren't foreign, will bring their children, and the cottages are generally, although not remote, or secluded, and sometimes quite close, quiet. It's amazing how quiet a forest can be, even with a screaming toddler (and yes, this is from experience!). But seriously, no one will be disturbed and even if they can hear through the forest or whatever, most people won't mind!
If he loves being outdoors, but being 2 is too young for a lot of things which I'd reccommend- kayaking, canoeing etc;, then Sweden (and most of Scandinavia in fact) are great, because there are usually things like wild blueberries and strawberries in forests (not in the north of Norway or Sweden usually, even in summer, but in the Stockholm archipelago, other areas etc; there are tons, there's loads of walks in the forest, and its easy just to wander around without a trail, there's usually loads of childrens activities too, in museums, loads of play areas in parks, there's always safe areas where you can go swimming if you dare (they're freezing!) around lakes usually, and there's usually play equipment at some point around the area too. Also, a lot of children's TV will be versions of English but with Swedish speakers, so if your DC watch the TV during any point in the holiday, hopefully they won't be bored. You can also find BBC Entertainment (basically a mish mash of BBC 1, 2 and 3, put onto one channel) so if you want the familiar, it won't be too hard to find, as its all in English on BBC Entertainment. A lot of signs on shops are English too, everyone practically will speak English etc; and I've found Sweden is a very child-orientated country compared to some.
If you want to explore more than where you stay if you choose to stay in the Stockholm Archipelago, then there are some ferries which do a few tours around the islands which last about half an hour to an hour (they have different times) which are quite cheap, and usually have good provision for small children, so if you want to see the scenery, and maybe go to some different islands, I could try and find the ferries we used (I'm not sure of exact name, so I'll try and check), if you want me to.
Ooh thanks so much. Loads of great info there. DH is quite set in Sweden, he visited malmo a few years ago and loved it so is very keen to explore more or the country. He is researching the Swedish archipelago as I type!
Quick question - we will have a 2 year old with us. He likes being outdoors and romping about (as do we) so I'm assuming that they'll be plenty for him to do there? Also, is everyone there likely to be toddler friendly or are they more of an adult holiday destination? Don't want to turn up and ruin everyone's peace and quiet!
I'm sure ill be back with more questions for you soon!
Hmmm, do you want a particular country?
I come from Sweden (Lapland area, but moved to Stockholm before moving countries!) but have worked in Norway, and in Finland (because part of the time I was near the border in both of them at one point), so have some experience. DH lived in Denmark as a child, so apart from Iceland (which does count as Scandinavian) we've got it covered! Although not very knowledgeable about Denmark or Finland really....
For you, I'd suggest the Stockholm Archipelago, in Sweden (obviously, the Stockholm part gave a bit of a clue...) It's close to Stockholm so easy to get to (fly to Arlanda, which is in Stockholm and easy to get to the islands from using first underground then ferry, or if using Ryanair, go to Skavsta and take a coach journey to a station called T-Centralen, before taking the underground from there to a ferry or something like that). Why is it good?
Well, you have the cabiny place, islandy place, small villagey places, but also close to Stockholm, but very beautiful, quiet, foresty. You get there via Gamla Stan in Stockholm, or the Old City (you get the ferry to one of the islands from there) and that's worth viewing too!
I'd say, look up Sandon (an island in the Stockholm archipelago thing), and for a cottage near a small village called Sandhamm. Two hours from Stockholm via Gamla Stan dock area, and has a small villagey place with shops, and is just like what you describe in terms of holiday cottages. I'll try and find some specific cottages though.
In Sweden, most people in cities own holiday cottages, in Stockholm most will own something like you describe in the Stockholm archipelago! And I'm not lying, we lived in a teenie flat there, but had a cottage, because land is so cheap. It's a great place to holiday.
Alternatively, try a place in Skåne (Southern Sweden). Here's a website for some more details, and Skåne is beautiful. This gives details about cottages but shows cottages etc; all around Scandinavia, so is ideal. Skane is at the bottom of Sweden, and its probably worth landing at Copenhagen and getting over (Copenhagen is very close. You can get the train over the bridge, but as you're probably going to be somewhere off train stations etc; you'll probably need a rented car? Which is why it's better to get one in Copenhagen, instead of going by train from there to Malmo, because you can drive over, which is, I think, cheaper than flying to Malmo and roughly the same time if you add the driving over the bridge.)
Otherwise, Norway has what you want, famous for fjords, but, although unfortunately most non-Scandinavians don't go there because of little knowledge about it holiday-wise (fjord areas are known about for holidays) I'd say go to the South Coast of Norway. As its in the summer, going to Finmark, so right in the North of Norway, can be good. Idyllic, mountain scenery, but none of the heavy snow. I come from close to the Swedish/Finnish/Norweigna border, in a small town/large village called Kiruna, and I know that all of this area can be beautiful in summer. In winter, you're so snowed under (its past the Arctic Circle!) that you won't be able to see the scenery though. But any place like Alto, Tromso or Narvik is good (I don't expect those names to mean anything, but could be helpful when searching cabins). Finmark is overloaded with cabins which are rented out for holidays. This should help?
The Fjords are obviously famous in Norway, so I'm guessing you'd like that sort of area? There are two areas really- North and South Fjord areas. There practically the same, and make no real difference where you go though. Search for Hjelmand, Strand and Lund (be careful with Lund, Lund is also a university city in Sweden) and they're in Rogaland. They're all good areas for people wanting cottages or cabins, there are loads of cabins available there but still far apart enough to be great, and these are probably the best places, although just type in Cabins In Rogaland to get more results.
Hordaland is just above Rogaland, but is still in the South Fjord area, and the best places to stay are Odda (Odda is a small town, but amazing scenery, and loads of cabins close by but still very quiet. Odda has the best scenery I think out of the areas I've reccommended), Fusa (a small village on a large fjord/lake area with loads of cabins surrounding the lakes and fjords, but closeby) and probably Kvam, which is similar to Fusa. Ullensvang, Voss and Samnanger are in a similar area, and are also quite similar to Odda and Fusa (tbh, a lot of the places around the fjords are practically identical sometimes).
The North Fjords are also divided into two sections, More and Romdal. In Romdal, I'd reccommend practically anywhere. For a wide range of options, Vestless, the island of Runde Nesset, Stranda, the island of Gossa, Rauma, Norddal, Hareid, Vanyleven, Surnadal, a cottage near Eggesbones (this is a village with a working fishing harbout etc; so stay in a cabin on the small island which Eggesbones is on, Bergsoya, and you could walk there?) Midsund, Sande, Tingvoll, the island of Gurskoy, Aure, or around Geiranger Fjord which is beautiful. The website I mentioned above should be able to help you.
Of course, there are other places in Sweden (I'm sorry, I don't know much about Denmark, DH lived in a small village near Copenhagen and we don't go there often, and I know areas on the Swedish/Finnish border quite well, but nothing else. My step-father worked in travel in Norway and Sweden and my mother came from Surnadal, which I mentioned as being in Romdal, the North Fjords, so I know that area, and I know the Norwegian/Swedish border well, but not much else!).
If you want to stay in the middle area, or Northern Sweden (called nordsverige btw) then look at this. It shows how many cabins there are and you can see its quite popular for holiday cottages, so is probably quite useful. Unfortunately, due to having quite a low population spread out all across the north of Sweden, I don't know a lot of individual areas, although I know the areas around Kiruna, none of which have cabins!
I'm thinking picturesque cabin by an idyllic lake/fjord somewhere, with a little town not too far away where we can purchase our beetroot and smoked fish.
Any recommendations?

Just in the train, go downstairs and you'll find it
you mean the tram that goes inbetween stormwind and ironforge? O-O thats actually kind of cool. the only thing i dont get is wouldnt it be kind of visible?

Thank you for the info it was very helpful. For those who still don't know where it is: When you enter the subway, turn left and go down the ramp to the subway tracks, there's going to be a corridor with a red flashing light above it at the bottom of the ramp.
Question is, where's the Horde one??
EDIT: I was hoping the Alliance one would be in the house at the end of Cut-Throat Alley. That alley's been there since vanilla and has no purpose. The name is perfect for it too..
Oh wow. It IS in side the arena. Wow. Very secret. -___________- I play horde but damn the alliance one is way cooler. it has a bar and lounge..
---------- Post added 2012-10-13 at 12:16 AM ----------
This is honestly so disappointing. I was looking forward to the Horde one. Being all secret into a tunnel within the Cleft of Shadow. But no, it's simply the Orgrimmar arena with barricades lazily made into a pit, it's fucking small and ugh. Blizzard got so lazily. The Alliance one actually has a completely new area, with a bar and lounge and it's fucking huge. Wow.
I honestly hope they scrap this and make a new area like they did with the Alliance one. This is horrifying and lazy as shit.
Isn't the Brawlers guild supposed to be secret? - Orgrimmar Grunt just standing there.

here i was hoping it would be under the pig and whistle, or whatever that inn is called, in old town theres a perfect area to expand upon
A fine summarization of the communityYou're a fine example of how gamer communities have become infested with endlessly whining and bitching, arrogant, opinionated, unreasonable, all the way immature, completely delusional, tendentially psychotic, insulting individuals one really doesn't want to be linked with. And playing with you guys is certainly no fun at all. I don't know where this kind of folks spawns from. Must be a nest somewhere ...

Ullapool Vacation Packages
Ullapool Museum and Ullapool Harbour are good places to check out in Ullapool.
This region is popular with travelers from all four corners of the globe. To understand why, rent a vehicle and discover the cities, towns and villages surrounding Ullapool. Brae and Duchally are just two of the many other places worth checking out while you're in Scotland.
Around 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the south of Ullapool is Achnasheen, a regional center which is home to Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve, Gruinard Island and Inverewe Gardens. Beinn Eighe and Gruinard Bay Beach are other interesting attractions worth checking out for those who find themselves with time to spare.
Venture back into the past while you are staying in the Scotland area. Take a trip to some of the ruins for which this place is well known. For a glimpse into the spiritual side of Ullapool, be sure to call into the area's many cathedrals.
When it is time to relax, try out cycling or shore fishing. If you love to get wet, include some watersports in your itinerary. Fishing is popular and another option is stand-up paddle boarding.
Really great vacations are about making friends and seeing the world with fresh eyes. Scotland is an excellent place for doing exactly that.

I've had the honor of knowing Bruce since the early 1990's. We are both members of a family based nonprofit organization.
He is a past board member and officer, and is a current "finance sub-committee" member.
His service, and expertise, to the organization in matters of law, insurance, and accounting has been extremely generous.
He is a class act in his fields, and has a very approachable demeanor.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bruce my family or friends.

Fairly different...the reason
RWD vs FWD changes the whole design and construction of a car.
Look at where the weight is carried on a FWD car while a 3 series allows for a design thats nets 50/50 weight balance.
I have driven great handling FWD cars. But they almost always have to come with the caveat...for FWD.
The Accord(going to drive one on Saturday as a new car for my M-I-L) and I expect for it to be a well made, good driving and solid car. But its inherent design/architecture keeps it from being a proper sports/sporty sedan. This is also often true of FWD cars given an AWD variant, same issues apply.
We are on the BMW forum so obviously a bias is expected. But really, drive that Accord on Saturday and report back. I think you yourself will be surprised.
Just a disclaimer, I haven't driven an Accord in years. But recently I have had an opportunity to drive a couple of new model full sized sedans as rentals, like the Malibu and I have to say I was impressed. Of course they were no BMWs but they didn't cost as much either. I suspect the differences between a high end Accord and entry level 320i are diminishing.

The British number one said: "I can and need to play better, and I expect to against Dmitry Tursunov on Thursday."
Henman admitted he felt "flat" as Nieminen took a two-set lead, and admitted: "I was struggling with my incompetence in executing shots."
"I think the the crowd sensed that and were a bit subdued until I improved."
The sixth seed added: "If I can get out of the blocks quicker next time, maybe they will be right behind me from the word go."
Henman hinted he might tweak his tactics for Thursday's encounter with Tursunov, who beat fellow Russian Marat Safin at Wimbledon last year.
"In the fourth and fifth sets against Nieminen, I served and volleyed less than 20% of the time but that was when I was at most my effective."
Henman claimed that was partly down to the grass at Wimbledon becoming increasingly "slow, heavy and high-bouncing".
Asked if the Championships were becoming a baseliners event, he answered: "Absolutely."
But he added: "It's the same for everyone and I've just got to deal with it."
Henman's admission that he was "struggling with all aspects of my game" early on against Nieminen was in stark contrast to fellow Briton Andrew Murray's form as he beat George Bastl 6-4 6-2 6-2.
He added: "We've been crying out for so long in this country for someone like Andy. Bastl is a good pro but he was basically taken apart."

TUCKED away at the back of the Royal Bolton Hospital, most people would miss the Churchill Unit.
Yet inside this unassuming building, a tight-knit team of nurses and consultants are treating breast cancer patients from across Bolton and Bury.
While the Churchill Unit is only small, its location in the Royal Bolton site is ideal for local patients who do not want to commute to the Christie in south Manchester for every chemotherapy cycle.
Staff at the unit say the calm and friendly atmosphere can be a vital boost to women in the midst of trying to beat cancer.
Cheryl Downes is the Macmillan chemotherapy co-ordinator at the unit.
She said: "I think one of the strengths of this unit is that it's local and that people from Bolton don't have to travel that far.
"The Christie is a fantastic unit but its size means it has hundreds more patients receiving treatment every week.
"We are only a small team here, which means you really get to know the patients as they go through their chemotherapy cycles.
"That continuity is great for the patients and for the nursing staff because then we can tell if they're not quite right or pick up on any changes."
The unit can see up to 150 patients a week, who have often had surgery in the breast unit in the Royal Bolton.
This week staff are backing the national Be Clear on Cancer campaign to raise awareness of breast cancer among older women in Bolton.
New figures show one in three breast cancer patients is aged 70 or over — yet women in that age group are not routinely screened for the disease.
Cancer experts say older women may be less aware of the risks and more likely to leave it longer before seeing a doctor. Embarrassment and "not wanting to cause a fuss" are also cited as obstacles for older women.
Kathy Sandler, lead nurse for cancer at the Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, explained: "We're backing this national campaign to ensure women over 70 are aware of the risk of breast cancer.
"There is no difference in the risk or treatment for older women. If any women have any concerns we would always advise them to go straight to their GP."
Susan Dodd, specialist breast cancer nurse, added: "I think a lot of ladies think that because they are no longer called forward for screening, they don't need to check their breasts.
"But as figures show, they are one of the highest risk groups."
Anne Fox, from Bury, had just turned 70 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in August.
She has already had a lumpectomy — a surgical procedure to remove the tumour — is about to start her final cycle of chemotherapy at the unit.
The mother-of-two says she was shocked by her diagnosis.
She said: "I had stopped checking my breasts as I got older if I'm honest. I first noticed something was wrong when I had a pain under my arm and I did feel a lump.
"But I didn't think pain was a sign of cancer and when the results of the biopsy came back, I couldn't believe it.
"I've found the best way to get through it is to stay positive — it's the only way really. The staff at the unit have been fantastic and I couldn't have asked for better care.
"It's not the nicest reason for a visit but you still manage to have a laugh with everyone there. They just make you feel more confident about the treatment and how you're going to get through it."
The unit is supported by a team of volunteers and also receives charitable donations.
- Breast cancer is the most common cancer in England with around 41,500 women diagnosed each year.
- The older people are, the more likely you are to get it — one in three women who gets breast cancer is 70 and over.
- Women between the ages of 50 and 70 are currently invited for screening, which can detect the condition at an early stage. The screening programme is gradually extending to include everyone aged 47 to 73, but this has not happened everywhere yet.
- Anyone over 70 can ask for a free screening every three years by getting in touch with their local breast-screening unit to make an appointment.

Closing schools was an unavoidable step toward preserving Catholic education
It was, no doubt, a painful day for teachers, parents and students in Catholic education as the diocese announced the closure of 10 schools in Erie County, affecting 1,154 students and 195 teachers and staff.
The decision will have many radiating consequences, yet it seems undeniable that the decision had to be made in order to forestall even worse consequences. Indeed, the question is whether the diocese went far enough to prevent yet another round of closures in years ahead.
Start from the beginning. Some facts are undeniable: Western New York has lost population and become older in recent decades. It's a change that has affected multiple industries, health care prominently among them. Both the Catholic Health System and Kaleida Health have closed or repurposed whole hospitals to remain healthy in the face of demographic change. Education has not escaped the same economic forces.
Across Erie County, Catholic school enrollment in kindergarten through eighth grade has fallen by 5,711 students, or 41 percent, since the 2003-04 school year. Overall, the 42 Catholic schools in the county operate at just 68 percent of capacity.
The choices for the Catholic schools, then, were to act in response to the forces of the economic climate or wait until the economic forces acted on them, with results that would, no doubt, have been more calamitous. That doesn't make for happy relations with supporters – Catholic Health learned that hard lesson when it closed Our Lady of Victory Hospital in Lackawanna 15 years ago – but the arithmetic of supply and demand is an indifferent master. It's act now or suffer later.
In some ways, the closure of 10 schools is less punishing than might have been expected under the circumstances. And, in fact, leaders of the system acknowledge that, armed with reams of demographic data, they chose to act conservatively, closing fewer schools than some advisers thought to be necessary. Bishop Richard J. Malone made the final determinations.
That raises the uncomfortable possibility that the diocese's unhappy work is not yet complete. It is possible that more closings will come in the future, though by acting cautiously, it also allows room for intervening factors that could change the calculation.
Among those choices was to close none of the system's Buffalo schools. At a minimum, that holds open the possibility that the Buffalo School District will stop dragging its feet and respond to the Catholic schools' offer to take in some of the city students who are demanding transfers out of underperforming schools. The city district has nowhere to put most of those students, so troubled are its schools, yet it is thus far snubbing an offer that could benefit both school systems.
It also seems that the Catholic schools missed a bet by not having in place specific offers or recommendations for parents whose children will be affected by the closings. If the goal is to retain as many of them as possible, it would have been helpful – and perhaps just as important, reassuring – for parents to have had an immediate idea of how they can keep their children in Catholic education. For example, presenting ways to keep groups of friends together would have eliminated some of that fear and reduced the urge to move children to public schools.
Still, the fact is that the diocese didn't flinch from at least the minimum it needed to achieve, and that was sufficiently painful. It acted in the face of incontrovertible trends in the quest to preserve Catholic education for the long term.
There are public school districts in Western New York that are suffering from the same trends. They could take a lesson here.

Arcade fighter Marvel vs Capcom 2 lands on iOS from 25th April, Capcom has announced.
All 56 fighters from the 2000 original make it into the iPhone and iPod Touch port. The publisher's announcement does not mention an optimised version for iPad.
There's no sign of a virtual D-pad in the screens below, but we're assuming that's how you'll control proceedings.
Capcom hasn't divulged a price point, though as some kind of comparison Street Fighter 4 iOS currently sells for Ł2.99.

President, University at Buffalo
THIS PAST OCTOBER, at my second annual community address, I had the pleasure of speaking with more than 400 Western New Yorkers about UB today and the enormous impact it will continue to have on our communities. We are at a pivotal moment of opportunity in pursuing the goals of UB 2020, our vision for achieving sustained excellence as one of the nations great universities. The greater UB becomes, the greater is its cultural, intellectual and economic influence on our region and far beyond it.
Last year, we announced that to optimize UB 2020s implementation, we plan to increase significantly the total number of our faculty, staff and students. This year, I was happy to report that we are well on our way, and already are seeing the tangible impact of our efforts.
Let me highlight a few examples I shared with those in attendance:
Recent analysis has shown that our projected 40 percent growth by 2020 will increase UBs regional economic impact from $1.5 billion to $2.6 billion per year.
We already are seeing clear evidence of our growth plan in action. Our plans to enhance our strategic strengths are bearing fruit with the arrival of the second group of premier faculty hired as a result of these plans. Of the 270 tenure-track faculty hired in the past three years, we have seen a net increase of nearly 100 new faculty positions.
This fall, 3,263 freshmen, chosen from a record-high 20,000 applicants, began their college education at UB, representing the most competitive and talented class we have ever had. We have just launched a four-year Honors College. And as you will read about in more depth in this issue, we are implementing learning academies that correspond with our strategic strengths, as well as introducing primary research experiences that are among the most unique and transformative available anywhere.
We continue to work hand-in-hand with our broader communities to make these first-rate educational opportunities as accessible as possible. In the past year, we have launched a historic partnership between UB and the Buffalo Public Schools that focuses on dramatically increasing the number of students who graduate from high school ready for college and for the demands of the 21st-century knowledge economy.
Meanwhile, as part of our continuing campus development process, UB recently acquired the former M. Wile building, which will be our sixth building in downtown Buffalo. We are renaming it the UB Downtown Gatewaya literal and figurative doorway connecting the university and its host city. We also have announced plans to construct a new Educational Opportunity Center adjacent to the UB Downtown Gatewaya modern and much larger location that will serve even more individuals through its educational and job-training programs.
Additional commitments by UB to a more vibrant presence in downtown Buffalo include the recent opening of the Ira G. Ross Eye Institute on Main Street and the upcoming move of fund-raising staff to the Jacobs Executive Development Center on Delaware Avenue. These are just a few of the major developments under way at UB, and I hope they give you a flavor of the tremendous sense of momentum fueled by UB 2020.
Upon reading these latest achievements, I hope youre inspired to become a more vocal proponent of the university. In the previous issue of UB Today, I wrote about UB Believers, the rapidly growing group of university supporters dedicated to raising awareness among elected officials, policymakers and the community at large about the importance of UBs plans for the future, and about the policy changes that we will need to achieve our goals. If you havent already added your voice to this effort, I encourage you to do so now by registering as a UB Believer at www.buffalo.edu/YourUB.
I look forward to continuing to talk with you and with members of the extended UB family everywhere about how to realize our tremendous collective promise and to make the most of the extraordinary opportunities that we now have within our reach.

This week we'd like to showcase this ace remix by the talented Irishman Max Cooper. Born to Australian parents the Belfast native has perfectly reworked Iketa's 'Burn' into a cinematically styled gem weaving in deep melodic overtones with a techno undercurrent. Let's hope the winner of his own remix competition does a similarly good job on his effort 'Pleasures' when announced March 12th. We've been enjoying it all week and hope you do too!

To the Editor:
In response to the article in Wednesday's, May 7, Killeen Daily Herald, "Senators call for VA Secretary to resign," Secretary Shinseki, in my opinion, is the wrong individual to be going after.
The directors of the VA hospitals should be the ones on the chopping block. They are paid to take care of us veterans who utilize the facilities they are entrusted to oversee.
All I see them doing is sitting back and drawing a big, fat paycheck as well as bonuses they are not entitled to.
They may very well be book smart, but common sense would dictate coming out of their big office and talking with the patients about the care they are receiving or in this case, the care they are not receiving.
Shinseki has a number of VA hospitals under him, and I do not see how he can oversee all of them without having a trustworthy director at each site, and apparently he doesn't have that.
We all know the VA system is messed up and has been for quite a while.
Let's start getting rid of the dead weight, and put some action people in the positions.
Just because you have a Ph.D. doesn't make you a leader.

Medical marijuana bills strengthen oversight, Bill Ritter says on signing HB 1284 and SB 109
"No, I am not high."
Governor Bill Ritter has finally signed HB 1284 and SB 109, the two medical marijuana bills that wended their way through the Colorado legislature this year.
How did this former district attorney explain his reasons for backing legislation that many law-enforcement officials around the state absolutely loathe? By arguing that they "strike a delicate balance between protecting public safety and respecting the will of the voters."
That's not exactly a ringing endorsement. But from a political standpoint, it makes sense to emphasize that a legislative solution had to be found in the wake of Amendment 20's passage almost a decade ago.
Here's Ritter's complete statement, along with a roster of other bills to which he added his signature:
Gov. Bill Ritter today signed two bills that will increase oversight of voter-approved medical marijuana in Colorado by strengthening the rules for dispensaries and physicians.
"In my State of the State Address in January, I called on the legislature to work with my office, law enforcement, the medical marijuana community and other stakeholders to bring bipartisan, common-sense solutions to the chaotic proliferation of medical marijuana dispensaries in communities all around Colorado," Gov. Ritter said. "The companion measures I signed today strike a delicate balance between protecting public safety and respecting the will of the voters.
"House Bill 1284 provides a regulatory framework for dispensaries, including giving local communities the ability to ban or place sensible and much-needed controls on the operation, location and ownership of these establishments," the Governor said. "Senate Bill 109 will help prevent fraud and abuse, ensuring that physicians who authorize medical marijuana for their patients actually perform a physical exam, do not have a DEA flag on their medical license and do not have a financial relationship with a dispensary."
Gov. Ritter also signed the following bills into law this morning:
HB10-1005 Home Health Care
HB10-1033 Screening Brief Intervention Referral
HB10-1073 Colorado 2-1-1 Checkoff
SB10-002 Medical Ins Coverage Denials Appeals
