CHRISTMAS is always a time when we think of family and loved ones. For many families though, the recent festive period would have been particularly sad with in absence of a loved one.
It's estimated that 150 people go missing every week. Two-thirds of all missing people are children or young people. Most return unharmed after a short period of time but for many this is sadly not the case.
Often the families who are left behind are forgotten when cases of missing people become news. Luckily, there are charities there to help the families of the missing. Organisations like 'Missing People' do great work in this field. They have trained volunteers and staff and anyone needing support from them can call free phone 116 000.
There's no one reason that leads to people going missing. We have sadly had a number of high profile cases, usually young people, going missing in Gwent in recent years. And we've been served well by the South Wales Argus who have supported families and the police in raising public awareness and assisting appeals for help.
One of those cases relates to a young man who went missing from my own community in Newbridge, a young man named Kyle Vaughan.
I knew Kyle. He was one of the dozen or so young people who, over the years, filed into my home laughing and joking and eager to join us for celebrations.
He was one of a close friendship group that endlessly entertained each other with their amateur attempts at 'Sing Star' followed by keenly contested 'Just Dance' challenges. He was a pleasant young man who was always polite.
During the Christmas period the family of Kyle Vaughan held a walk in his memory and to re-appeal to the public for any information. He was last seen on the 30th of December 2012, his car having been involved in a collision and was later found on the A467 between Risca and Crosskeys.
The tragedy of his disappearance could happen to any family and if it did, we would be just as desperate as Kyle's family for any information.
Readers will know that his disappearance quickly became a murder investigation although his body has not been found and Kyle's family continue to make appeals for information. There's a £5000 reward available and anyone with any information should contact Crime Stoppers on 0800 555111.

Arkansas took center stage in the same-sex marriage debate May 9 when a state judge overturned a 10-year constitutional amendment that banned same-sex unions in the state.
The morning after Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza handed down his ruling, the Carroll County Clerk's Office in Eureka Springs began issuing marriage licenses. In all, 15 licenses for same-sex couples were issued. On Monday, couples lined up at courthouses in Pulaski, Washington and Saline counties to get licenses.

The Penn report looked at who knew what when the council illegally awarded a consultancy contract for the sea wall.
Based on its findings an investigative panel resolved to move to the next stage of a disciplinary procedure.
John Trebble offered to retire, asking for the report never to be made public. Now he says it is up to the council.
The one-metre-high concrete sea wall was finished earlier this year as part of a two-kilometre scheme designed to protect the resort.
It cost more than £53m - almost £30m more than first expected - but faults have already been detected.
The independent Penn report was commissioned after the Audit Commission found a consultancy contract had been awarded illegally as it was not advertised in Europe.
Mr Trebble said the aftermath of the Audit Commission's report was a major factor in his decision to take early retirement on Friday, but denied any wrongdoing.
He said he was confident he would have been cleared of any allegations if the case had gone to an independent hearing, but felt that such a time-consuming and potentially costly process would benefit no-one.
"My action in applying for early retirement in no way suggests that I accept any allegations which may be made against me in connection with the sea defence contracts," he said.
"So far as I am concerned, I no longer have any objection to the Penn report being published, but ultimately that must be a matter for the council to decide."
A spokesman for Scarborough Council said its position was unchanged.
"We will not be publishing the Penn report," she said.

National Bank of Greece
What could go wrong with investing in the National Bank of Greece (NBG), you ask? How about everything you could ever expect to go wrong.
Thanks to persistently high unemployment that makes the U.S. look like a picnic — including a new jobless record of 27.6% set in May — anyone banking on a Greece turnaround is delusional. Tourism numbers have ticked up a bit, as have exports, but the vast majority of Greeks remain out of work and with no practical use for banks.
Furthermore, the "shadow economy" of Greece where people do jobs under the table or sell items on the black market to tourists allows them to operate outside the tax code and conventional banking — which means some Greeks actually find a bank account more of a detriment than an opportunity.
NBG has seen revenue crumble and losses skyrocket, though admittedly the first quarter of 2013 marked a rare profit for the company as it looks to complete a bailout-funded recapitalization program. That could be a sign that the worst is over … but it also could be another head-fake in this Greek bank that has brutalized so many investors in 2013.

You'll also earn Awards. Awards go toward unlocking special missions. There are 14 regular levels, and four unlockable levels, each of which requires award points to unlock them. If you ever played Lord of the Rings The Two Towers or Return of the King, then you'll know the kind of unlockable style structure I'm talking about.
Aside from the excellent upgrade and reward system, which should not be discounted by any stretch of the imagination, the fatty levels are impressive for their variety, depth, and length. If you played EON, you got a real treat. That game featured all sorts of excellent gameplay mechanics and types. You could use a grappling hook to climb up and down walls. One level was a sheer falling mission, where you dodged rocks and enemies and controlled your falling motion Earthworm Jim 2 style, until you caught your falling girl. There were motorcycle, tank, and all sorts of car levels, in addition to the regular cool Bond stuff you're already used to.
So far I've played through a little more than 33% of From Russia With Love, and I've piloted the kick-ass jetpack, manned the guns on a boat, used the sweet, explosive mini-copter, raced and fought other cars using missiles, machine guns, and tire-spikes to fight off enemies, and fought two bosses. And I know I'll be driving a kick-ass buggy, and another car as well, in addition to more jetpack levels, bosses, and more. Each level is multi-part, so you'll fight on foot for 15 minutes, jam around on a boat for five minutes, and then fly around on a jetpack.
Then there are the multiplayer modes. Multiplayer mode runs in four-player split-screen mode on Xbox, PS2, and GameCube, offers Play Mode and Survival Royale. Play mode is pretty much straight Deathmatch, and it's good simple one on one on one on one. Survival Royale is more complex. You'll get the chance to engage in Dogfights, which are pure jetpack deathmatches; Sabotage, comprising capture the flag type games; and handful of team-based games. The game mechanics are respectable for a third-person shooter. You can walk, run, roll, jump, judo chop someone over the head ("judo chop!!"), climb objects, strap on jetpacks and fly in three dimensions, or climb into and drive vehicles. You'll also find a unique trap in each level, be that a running train for a brutal insta-kill, or a slower, more painful gas chamber death. Each trap is also set up as a risk-reward situation, so those folks setting them up put themselves in a vulnerable situation.
From Russia With Love looks good, too. It's not a next-generation game (it's coming to current gen system), and it does a good, solid job of getting the most out of these systems. The framerate generally sticks at 30 FPS, and when the chaos is good and thick, there is anywhere from five to 10 characters on screen at once. The texture work is respectable, especially the facial work EA has done on Bond. The lines of his face are distinct, the heavily lidded dark eyes, the creeping hairline, and the overall movement of Connery's face -- they're all admirable.
In all, From Russia With Love is a weighty piece of entertainment. The targeting mechanic is usually enjoyable, except for when you want to target random or non-specific objects, in which case, it's a little annoying. The independent pipper -- which can target special parts of an enemy's body, is back and give hardcore players something to advance their level of skill -- is a great little mechanic providing an extra layer of depth. And the amount of stuff to collect, upgrade, and unlock is unprecedented in EA's Bond franchise. With Sean Connery making his videogame debut, and the ability to strap on a jetpack, well, From Russia With Love may not be Half-Life 3, but it's deeper than you'd think, and in the replayability department, it's one of those gifts that keeps on giving.

Designer drug claims young man's life
Milwaukee County has recorded its first death from a designer drug called methoxetamine (meth-ux-et'-uh-meen) - Mexxy for short.
Douglas Peters, 23, was found dead May 6, after he passed out during a party at the home of a DJ in Milwaukee. The county medical examiner has just now attributed the death to Mexxy.
The drug comes in powder form that can be injected, swallowed, or snorted - and it's generally legal to buy-and-use since it's uncontrolled in the United States.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's been a remarkable experience to see how gold and silver have moved in just a few weeks.Friday, gold catapulted almost $35 an ounce to $1,743, a 2.04% one-day move. Silver, which has been outperforming gold in a big way, did it again on the same day, climbing 3.06% to $33.67, a 27% advance from its summer of 2012 lows of around $26.25 in mid July. Check out this chart of the two most popular exchange-traded funds that mirror the price-movement of gold and silver. For gold it's the SPDR Gold Shares ( GLD) and for silver it's the iShares Silver Trust ( SLV). Take special notice of the past 12 months up to Friday. GLD data by YCharts
Don't be fooled by the flatter-looking price line for SLV. That only reflects the fact that silver trades below $50 an ounce while gold has been trading at or below $1,911 an ounce. On a percentage basis silver has outperformed and should continue to outperform its more expensively priced "big sister." The carefully timed and globally orchestrated Massive Bond-Buying Bailout that the "Central Banks Symphony" has been playing from the shores of the Federal Reserve Bank to the Gibraltar of the European Central Bank has opened the floodgates of monetary expansion and paper currency debasement. This has been the most prevalent excuse for why gold and silver have boomed of late. Even the "Bond King," Pimco's Bill Gross, said in a Sept. 5 interview with Bloomberg that he now believes gold, and to a similar extent silver, is a better investment opportunity at this time than stocks or bonds. It's worth your time and attention to watch the interview. So you'd think that gold and silver stocks would be in the stratosphere and the industrial metals -- or what I like to call "less-precious metals" -- stocks would be languishing. Yet, Friday's stock session told a different story that has many investors scratching their heads. Take a look at the companies that are my favorite proxies for gold and silver. Franco-Nevada ( FNV) and Silver Wheaton ( SLW) both operate as gold and silver streaming companies (like middlemen) who contract with gold and silver producers to buy their production at wholesale prices and then turn around and sell them at spot prices.

A Killeen man was arrested after police said they caught him driving drunk with a small child in his vehicle.
Isaiah Thomas, 26, was arraigned Thursday on a state jail felony charge of driving while intoxicated with a child passenger by Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke. Cooke set Thomas' bail at $20,000.
A Killeen police officer pulled over Thomas' vehicle at 1:31 a.m. Wednesday night as it traveled near Watercrest Road and Waterfall Drive.
The officer observed the vehicle moving 54 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone, and it later increased its speed to 70 mph, an arrest affidavit stated. After the vehicle was stopped, the officer said he could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from Thomas. He also had red eyes and slurred speech. A breath test later revealed Thomas had a blood alcohol level of 0.13, the affidavit stated.
The officer who pulled Thomas over also observed a second passenger in the vehicle a 4 year-old girl.
Thomas is currently in custody in Bell County Jail, according to jail records.
Cooke also arraigned Latoya Marie Burnette, 39, on an unrelated charge of criminal mischief more than 1,500, but less than $20,000. Burnette's bail was set at $20,000.

As Survivor: Pearl Island winds up tonight, thoughts turn to All-Star Survivor and beyond. Debi Enker talks to the tireless Mark Burnett.
Welcome to Mark Burnett's world. It's a busy place. He's working the phones during breaks in production of the latest Survivor. All he's willing to reveal about the eighth instalment - the much-anticipated All-Star Survivor, featuring contestants from previous shows - is that it will take place "on this side of the world, not on your side of the world", and that it will be "another cool tropical location".
I'm guessing by cool he means exotic, because one of the things Survivor has learned since its foray into Africa is that water is a good thing to have close by, and that the visual benefits afforded by sunshine, beaches and bikinis are not to be underestimated.
For "security reasons", he says, the players participating in All-Star Survivor won't be announced until production has finished in January, although a list of 18 contestants has been widely circulated on the internet and printed here several weeks ago. Burnett says that everyone who was approached was keen to return for another round and that Richard Hatch, Susan Hawk, Rudy Boesch and Jerri Manthey would be good guesses: "You can guess some of the names, I'm sure. I won't confirm or deny it."
To prevent his stars from being swamped by unwelcome attention, Burnett has been involved in negotiations with the host country that sound like a military operation: "We're even going as far as closing down the airspace and the waterways of the country that we're going to while we get them in under cover of darkness," he says, sounding every bit the former British Army Parachute Regiment soldier that he was.
Negotiating airspace rights with a foreign government is just one activity in a typical Burnett week. Over the past three years, he has become one of the most successful TV producers in the world, so there are many balls in the air. It's been an amazing journey; not so long ago he was selling T-shirts at LA's Venice Beach, reading inspirational manuals by moguls such as Donald Trump and dreaming of making it big.
It is fitting, then, that his next reality project involves Trump. Called The Apprentice, it gives 16 hopefuls the chance to become the president of one of Trump's companies. "I'd been thinking for a long time about a show to reward and celebrate entrepreneurialism and I'd been a fan of Donald Trump for a long time," Burnett explains. "He's the most colourful, larger-than-life, in-your-face American mogul you'll ever find."
From the 200,000 applicants, Burnett has chosen a typically diverse mix, selected for maximum drama. There are MBAs from Yale and Harvard as well as high-school graduates who have started their own small businesses. "It's basically blue collar versus white collar, male versus female, educated versus uneducated, a mix of that, and it's a very interesting series," Burnett says.
Even those accustomed to the rigours of Survivor will be impressed by the concrete-jungle challenges of The Apprentice. The would-be moguls will have to organise a celebrity auction at Sotheby's, produce a rock concert, design an advertising campaign for luxury goods (including a 30-second TV spot and billboard campaign), renovate and lease an apartment in a rundown part of town - each within a 48-hour time frame.
In a genre not known for longevity, Survivor is an anomaly. Remember Treasure Island or The Great Chase? How about Shipwrecked and The Villa? All screened in the same year as the first Survivor and all have sunk without a trace. Survivor has outwitted, outlasted and outplayed them all.
Burnett maintains the key to its success is simple: "It all comes down to one thing. It's storytelling enveloped in a great concept, great vicarious travel experience and really good casting. I tell good stories."
Richard Hatch and the other winners might have walked away with the million-dollar prize, but the champion survivor is Burnett, who has parlayed a nifty idea into a TV staple and used it as the foundation for a growing media empire. And he doesn't intend to slow down any time soon.
Survivor: Pearl Island concludes tonight on Nine at 8.30pm.

It came as suddenly as a northern Michigan blizzard. One minute Steve Daniels–a former Kaman Aerospace executive who had taken the reins last year as president of Enstrom Helicopter and was doing his job scant weeks after painting a rosy, ambitious portrait of Enstrom's future during a refreshingly candid presentation at February's HAI Heli-Expo–was in office. Then came a phone call from former Enstrom president Bob Tuttle telling Daniels he was fired. Also dismissed was vice president Frank Gallagher, another ex-Kaman official, who had accompanied Daniels when he came to rejuvenate the moribund rotorcraft maker from Menominee, Mich.
At Heli-Expo in February, Daniels was full of hope and plans for what many have long considered an undervalued, underappreciated helicopter product line. Marking his first Heli-Expo, Daniels announced sales that would bring the company's current order count to 12 out of a planned production run this year of 15 rotorcraft. This total showed a substantial increase in deliveries from the company's average of seven aircraft per year since 1992, and served as evidence that Enstrom was on target for Daniels' goal of 30 deliveries next year.
Keys to meeting this ambitious goal are the reestablishment of a dealer network in the U.S. and Canada, a new customer-service and support organization, product improvements and new management and production agreements with Asian companies.
Daniels' proposed moves were greeted with applause by Enstrom aficionados. But before he had time to further implement his program, the termination ax fell. Tuttle, acting on behalf of the anonymous Swiss national that owns a controlling interest in Enstrom, was relieving Daniels and Gallagher of their jobs, citing "communication problems."
Details are still murky but sources close to the story assert that Daniels' pressure for increased production volumes of Enstrom's various models met opposition when the company's owners realized it would cost an estimated $2+ million in advance layout for parts, components and powerplants before production could proceed. Arguments as to the wisdom of the increased production rate flared. The shortfall in parts soon threatened to close down the factory altogether.
For his part, Daniels cited poor record keeping within Enstrom, so poor that he and his management team were unaware the company was not in possession of the components required for the intended increased production. "The system told us there was more stock on hand than there turned out to be," Daniels said. "When we established what the actual level was, we knew we needed an injection of cash– about $2.1 million. Clearly our plan to quadruple production there was in jeopardy. Somewhere during the latter stages of negotiations was where these 'communication problems' took hold."
The rapidity with which events blindsided Daniels was evidenced by the fact that he was granting interviews to the press outlining his master plan for Enstrom's financial salvation roughly 72 hours before the ax fell. Peter Parsinen, a long-time colleague of Daniels who did consulting work for Daniels and Gallagher at Kaman, was tapped as interim president.

Rain at the Start but Great Weather When It Counted: Viking Sun (Retired) Cruise Review by edmilb
Overall Member Rating
Rain at the Start but Great Weather When It Counted
Destination: Europe - River Cruise
Embarkation: Other
The start wasn't too auspicious because the Rhine was running high and we had to embark from Breisach instead of Basel as expected. Turns out that this was, to me,value added for the cruise because we got to spend extra time there. Although the weather was rainy, the town was delightful. I can highly recommend the Baden wines available in the wine shop on the town square.
Breisach is the stop for the first of the tours offered as part of the cruise. We chose to skip the included Black Forest tour because we expected it to be too commercial based on experience with similar tours in Germany. The optional (extra cost) Colmar tour was the only disappointment among the tours we experienced. The guide was very uninformed abut Alsatian history. The included Strasbourg tour, on the other hand, provided an excellent initiation to Alsatian history and culture.
All of the other More included tours were all very good. Two standouts are the Marksburg Castle and the walking tour of Cologne.
The highlight of the Rhine Getaway is cruising the Middle Rhine from Braubach to Koblenz. As I mentioned earlier, it was rainy at the start of the cruise. By thetime we reached Braubach, the weather had cleared. We had a spectacular fall morning to view castles from a river perspective. The commentary over the ship's PA system added to our enjoyment.
In summary, while weather can be risky, October cruising has real advantages. In particular, crowding, both on the river and on land was minimal. Cost is also lower than the height of summer. Less

Customer Reviews
The best investment I've ever made!
There we were returning from a daylong hike up to the top of Yosemite Falls and it was quickly getting dark. Time to whip out the flashlights, right? I remember earlier that day pondering what to take on the hike and flashlights just never crossed my mind. After all how long could it possibly take to hike to the top of the falls and back! I suppose the late start didn't help or stopping to walk around the village. Anyway, there we were picking our way down the trail in complete blackness with only the glow from our iPhones to light the way when it occurred to us that there might be an app appropriate for the occasion. And sure enough, we quickly downloaded our flashlight app and lit up the trail as if it were noon. We even rescued a few others who were in the same situation on the trail. Great app! Simple, useful, can't do without! I'm using it constantly. Thank you!
No ads, no accidental turn off.
Many flashlight apps have ads or too many useless options that are easy to activate with the touch screen by accident. These options often turn off the flashlight or activate a strobe feature or some other garbage. For this app, the light turns on by default when the app is opened, and on/off switch for this flashlight is right in the middle of the screen, so the edges of the touch screen can be grabbed or handled clumsily without unintended effect, and it also requires a simple but deliberate motion to toggle. That means when I am fumbling around in the dark, my light stays ON as it should. Using the flash as a light should be a built-in feature, but this app is the very next best thing, and well worth the purchase price.
No complaints
Been using this app for over a year. Use it all the time. Very handy and simple app. It works quickly and reliably. I particularly like how distinctive the icon is on my home screen. Makes it very easy to quickly find and launch the app...which is nice when you are standing still in a dark room waiting for a little light before you can start moving again. Every night when I come to bed, I use this to light my way without waking the wife. Then i leave it on my night stand as a little night-light for a few minutes as I get situated. Creates a nice glow throughout the room without bothering anyone. Surprisingly one of the most used apps I have. Go figure.

In the Middle East, nothing flourishes like a conspiracy theory.
The dark hand seen behind most events is either the United States or Israel, or both, and journalists are widely believed to be their agents.
Last year I was living in Lebanon and one day I got a call from Rami Aysha, a well-known Lebanese journalist with whom I sometimes collaborated on stories.
"Hezbollah want to know all about you," Aysha told me. "They've called me in for a chat."
Hezbollah - the Party of God - is the militant Shiite political movement that dominates Lebanese politics.
Later in the week Aysha called me to report back on the interview.
"Oh, it was nothing," said Aysha, laughing. "They just wanted to know if you were a Mossad agent."
Hezbollah, Aysha told me, had done their homework. They knew my father's name, my phone number, where I was born, my wife's name, even where we had met.
"Don't worry, I told them your whole life story. They don't think you're a Mossad agent, but they'll still be listening to your phone calls for a while."
Needless to say, no one from Hezbollah ever came knocking on my door, but soon after Aysha was sitting behind bars on trumped-up weapons smuggling charges.
In reality he was just doing his job.
A few months later I was talking to Nadim Ladki, the editor-in-chief of Beirut's English-language newspaper The Daily Star.
"Oh, we're very interested in investigative reporting here, we cover everything," said Ladki. "But, you know, there are some red lines."
In Lebanon, and elsewhere in the Middle East, failing to observe those red lines can get you killed.
Just a few hundred metres from where we were sitting were the offices of the Arabic language newspaper Al-Nahar, which overlooks Beirut's Martyrs' Square. Displayed on the outside of building is the portrait of one of two Al-Nahar journalists assassinated in 2005 for openly criticising the regime of Syrian despot Bashar al-Assad.
When Hosni Mubarak was forced out as Egypt's president in 2011, I found myself on the streets of Cairo on the wrong side of a military curfew.
The soldiers who arrested me and three other journalists first bound our hands and then blindfolded us before carting us off to some military compound somewhere on the outskirts of the city.
The soldiers were polite, but not knowing where we were going was a little disconcerting. When they freed us a few hours later it seemed like Egypt was definitely changing for the better.
How wrong we were.

I understand what the authors are saying in that the many overweight Americans are hearing of professional athletes, actors/actresses and individuals in the large-scale public eye claiming health and weight loss benefits from following a GF diet. Understandably, it makes perfect sense if you cut out all the white starchy (glutenized) carbs, most everyone will indeed lose weight. However, to call it a 'fad' is tricky because how many of us truly need all the quick acting starchy processed carbs, fillers, and GMO foods that are the mainstay of gluten-rich foods. We ALL can benefit both in the areas of improved health and weight management by eliminating gluten-rich foods. Use fibrous vegetables as your carb sources and most will see positive changes.

Enjoy your trip Holly and please give a huge hug to Erika for me.
Well, I am in the middle of canning some more marinera sauce, so I will have to come back to read the daily later. This has been a monster week at work for me, but I had a chance to go to the gym today after work and did some weights and core workout, wearing my Rosie Ruiz Team t-shirt from last year. I wish great fun to my RTB relay team. Sorry I could not be there to have fun with them this year.
"Champions are everywhere; all you need is to train them properly..." ~Arthur Lydiard
Crazy busy day at work today, but most of it was training a person to do a lot of my old job, so that will ultimately make my life easier so it's all good. But no time even for a walk at lunch...
Picked up Holly after work and we went to pick up our bib numbers, and poke around the displays a little bit. This is the first year it's been billed as an "Expo," and it was pretty small and low key, but it's a start and I appreciate the effort that went into it. Then we picked up DH at his office, then came home to relax and have a really good dinner... tomorrow we'll just hang out and check out parts of the course.
Nancy, our summer wasn't very good for gardens, but tonight we had broccoli and chicken in a divan-like sauce, instead I use curry powder instead of mustard. And we had purple potatotes ("all blues") to go with it. Yummy. We love this dish. Tomorrow I'll make a risotto for our easy to digest carbo loading dinner!

Argentinian Baby Found Alive In Morgue
Buenos Aires, Argentina (WIBX) – A mom looking for closure discovered what she is calling a "miracle" instead.
29-Year old Analia Bouter reportedly fell to her knees when her husband opened a coffin, presumably holding the body of her daughter, so that she could say "goodbye." Instead the baby girl, pronounced dead just twelve hours earlier, stretched and cried out to her mom and dad.
Rafael Sabatinelli, Argentina's Undersecretary of Health for the Chaco province where the baby was born, says that his office has opened an investigation. Five doctors at Perrando Hospital have been suspended for declaring the baby stillborn.
The child was named Luz Milagros, which means "Light Miracle."

Dr. "Tip" Meckel
Gulf Coast Carbon CenterBureau of Economic Geology
The University of Texas at Austin
In October 2013, the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology's Dr. Tip Meckel led a crew of 27, including three scientists from the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin, on a 10-day 3D seismic data collection cruise off southern Galveston Island in the Gulf of Mexico. This activity was funded through DOE-NETL's carbon sequestration research program and the Texas General Land Office (GLO) as part of the Gulf Coast Carbon Center's multi-year geologic characterization effort to identify potential CO2 storage sites beneath the Texas portion of the Gulf of Mexico within 10 miles offshore (State Lands). The seismic data provide extremely high resolution 3D information for relatively shallow stratigraphic depths(<1500 m). These depths have previously been of secondary interest to the hydrocarbon industry, but are increasing in interest in relation to shallow geohazard identification and understanding subsurface fluid migration processes related to deep reservoirs and seafloor fluid seeps. The data provide an important link between the deepest and shallowest portions of marine stratigraphy and structure. Aside from CCS, research interests addressed by the data include structurally-controlled fluid migration, 3D stratigraphic architecture, reservoir morphology analogs, and Cenozoic/Quaternary stratigraphic evolution.

Hey there, time traveller!

Transcona was a small town in the mid-1950s when the Grade 1 class lined up in September at the bottom of a long flight of stairs at l'École de l'Assomption.
The repair and maintenance shops for the Transcontinental Railroad had been located in Transcona at the turn of the century and the CN shops had plenty of work for immigrants from Europe and French Canadians who were leaving the towns and farms of southern Manitoba for the city.
When the shop whistle blew to signal a shift change, Italian, Ukrainian, Polish, English and French could be heard as men passed through the gate and into the yard.
In the line being pushed straight by Sœur Marie-Thérèse, the Grade 1 teacher, were four little girls: Marlene Chalmers, MaryAnn Huard, Joan Nassichuk and Jeannette Richter. We would start a friendship that would endure six decades.
The language in class and in the halls was French, but the prescribed texts and the speech on the playground was English. Without noticing it, we were becoming bilingual in Canada's founding languages.
It was safe in those days, for children to play outside alone. Under a pollution-free sky, wrapped in long scarves and warm woolen mittens that our babas and mémères knit, we built forts and walked on the ridges of cleared snow around Park Circle.
On Saturday, we stood in line for the matinee at the Apollo on Regent. It cost a dime and without the movie rating system of today, we went in of our own free will to be traumatized by Vincent Price in The House of Wax.
When we got older, we slung our figure skates over our shoulders and walked to East End Arena. We skated clockwise, our right leg aching from the cross-over until Mr. Golding's voice over the crackly loudspeaker ordered us to change direction.
My mother bought a television on lay-away at Notley's Electric and relatives without a TV became fixtures on the red velvet chesterfield in our living room.
Cigarettes were 25 cents a pack and we started to smoke menthols as they weren't supposed to be so bad. We jammed a knife in the gap on the door-frame of my upstairs bedroom and blew smoke out of the three air holes of the storm windows.
This year Canada officially declares the four of us seniors and we got together to celebrate old times. We held our own reunion to coincide with Transcona's centennial. We watched the extra special, super-long parade put on by Hi Neighbour Festival organizers on June 2 and attended a public open house at the CN Transcona Shops in the afternoon.
As we passed under the gates, we remembered the men with the black lunch boxes and steel-toed boots. They created the vibrant, blue-collar community that was incorporated 100 years ago.
Jeannette Richter is a former Transcona resident.

ACT to be part of nationwide movement
NATIONWIDE–Assateague Coastal Trust is part of the second annual #GivingTuesday, a nationwide movement that harnesses the power of a blend of partners–charities, families, businesses and individuals–to transform how people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season.
Scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 3, #GivingTuesday will harness the power of social media to create an opening day for giving.
Seeing an opportunity to channel the spirit of the holiday season to inspire action around charitable giving, a group of friends, partners and philanthropy experts, led by the 92nd Street Y, joined last year to find ways to promote and celebrate the American tradition of giving. Leaders in philanthropy, social media and grassroots organizing joined to explore what is working in modern philanthropy and how to expand these innovations throughout the philanthropic sector.
The result was Giving Tuesday.
"We see Giving Tuesday as an innovative way to not only engage our supporters, but to celebrate and encourage the spirit of charitable giving for the whole community, no matter what the cause," said ACT Development Director Steve Farr. "The holidays are so focused on buying and consuming, and #Giving Tuesday provides a platform to re-orient people to the true spirit of the holidays – sharing what you have with people and organizations working to improve our families, our communities, and our world. We certainly hope people will visit our Web site (www.actforbays.org) next Tuesday, but we encourage everyone to support their favorite charity on this day dedicated to online giving."

From 2006-07 teams must submit a 25-man 'A' squad with at least two players from the club academy and two others from the same national association.
Clubs may be punished with reduced squads if they refuse to comply, although Uefa has ruled out legal action against offending clubs.
Arsenal had 16 overseas players for Monday's game with Crystal Palace.
After the plan is introduced for the 2006-07 season the figures will rise by one for each of the next two seasons.
So by 2008-09 the squad will have to contain four academy players and four others from the team's country.
"The sanction is fairly simple - if you don't have the four and four for 2008-09, your squad will be cut by the number of players that do not meet the criteria," said Uefa spokesman William Gaillard.
At present the ruling is only going to apply to Uefa competitions, but in April a Uefa Congress in Estonia will vote on whether to implement the measures in domestic competitions as well.
But the Premier League say it is "extremely unlikely" it would be implemented in England.
Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has made shrugged off criticism of Wenger's team selection, and told the Evening Standard he was happy with how things were at the club.
"For me, the nationality of any player who plays for the club is not an
issue," he said.
"If you have good enough players then it does not matter from which country they come.
"These days, the world is smaller. We have young players from all over the world in our youth set-up.
"The world of football is changing, and there are some people who don't like
things to change.

Assistant House Minority Leader James E. Clyburn of South Carolina threw cold water on a push from the Congressional Black Caucus to have President Barack Obama nominate him to be Transportation secretary.
Clyburn's spokesman issued a statement Wednesday essentially saying thanks but no thanks.
"He's proud and honored that some of his colleagues think enough of him to recommend him for Transportation secretary, but the only job change Mr. Clyburn is working on is once again becoming majority whip when the American people reject the Republicans' failed leadership and extreme partisan gamesmanship and Democrats win back the House," said Clyburn spokesman Patrick Devlin.
As National Journal first reported, CBC Chairwoman Marcia L. Fudge, D-Ohio, sent a letter to Obama urging him to name Clyburn, the highest-ranking and longest-serving African-American in Congress, to the post after current secretary Ray LaHood announced his retirement last week. (Roll Call)

Fashion Photo of the Day 1/13/13 - Clea DuVall High Res Photos
I think I am having a major winter white moment because I keep gravitating to women rocking it on the carpet. It's so empowering to go for white amidst a sea of black dresses and pops of color aren't unexpected any more. Argo's Clea DuVall went for an edgy winter white look this weeknat the Critics Choice Awards in Los Angeles. And she nailed it head to toe!

- Michael Cockerill: Juventus got what they wanted but All Stars made them sweat
- As it happened: A-League All Stars v Juventus
- Match report: All Stars fight valiantly against Juventus
They arrived to a stadium lit up in the Italian flag, thousands of fans draped in black and white for a historic date with their favourite son but as events transpired, this was ever-close to being a match to forget for Juventus and Alessandro Del Piero.
Deploying a full-strength side and a tactical discipline that suggested this match against the A-League All Stars meant much more than a share of gate receipts, the black and white stripes were left somewhat red-faced by players they knew little of. There was no hiding the intent and professionalism Juventus presented as they entered the match and for that they had little in the way of excuses after being mostly outplayed by the best of Australian football.
They were disciplined, composed and structured in their search for the foundations of their season but laboured against relevant minnows. Their struggles weren't theirs alone, as Del Piero did little to suggest his former club missed his services. Slow, delayed and lacking sharpness in front of goal, the little artist never really came close to scoring a rare goal against his beloved club. Even when he honed in on goal inside the box from the left - the Del Piero zone as Juventus once called it - his compatriot Gianluigi Buffon wasn't tested.
Instead, the threat arrived from Carlos Tevez's former teammate, Marcelo Carrusca. The Argentine received a pass along the edge of the box from Thomas Broich before calmly slotting the ball in front of Buffon to give the All Stars a shock lead over the Italian champions.
Whether Juventus emphasised tactics over performance, they were sluggish with only the nimble Tevez presenting a threat to the All Stars. The Argentine served as their focal point in attack despite the towering frame of Fernando Llorente and nearly equalised with a burst of speed that left defenders trailing in his wake. A snap shot in front of goal beat Eugene Galekovic in goals, but not the post.
They laboured against the spirited All Stars and survived raids on goals but with the calibre of weaponry at their disposal, the inevitable eventually happened. Patrice Evra supplied a pin-point cross for the lanky frame of Fernando Llorente and the big Spaniard powered a header from close range. It wasn't a goal that matched their status in world football, but to those attending it did something far more important in terms of the contest- it relieved pressure.
There was a clear difference in the Bianconeri and most importantly, Andrea Pirlo. The creative linchpin had been a shadow of his best but with the scores level and the opposition unstable after half a dozen substitutions in quick succession, he began to probe between the lines, evading markers and combining with the forwards in his trademark style.
Though just as normality appeared to have arrived for Juventus, they were stunned by one of Australia's rising stars. A poor back-pass by Kwadwo Asamoah fell into the path of Tomi Juric and the Western Sydney Wanderers striker emphatically slammed the ball past Marco Storari. As the tens of thousands of proud Juventus fans were bracing themselves for the taunts from peers the next day, their blushes were saved by the brilliance of Paul Pogba. The French star latched on to a wayward clearance to thump a stunning half-volley into the far corner of the net just three minutes from time and with virtually the last kick of the game, the result was assured. Substitute Simone Pepe ensured normal order prevailed with a powerful drive from the edge of the box that sealed the win and, most importantly for Allegri, kept any early detractors at bay.

The Sixers have elected to not pick up their option on the third-year contract of Craig Brackins.
By not picking up the third-year $1.5 million option, Brackins becomes an unrestricted free agent.
Brackins was acquired by Philadelphia in September of 2010 in a trade with the Hornets.
Brackins played sparingly for the Sixers as he preferred playing on the perimeter rather than the role of a more traditional power forward.

Heading back to work after having a baby is difficult for many new parents, and especially if you're nursing. There are many ways to ease the transition, while maintaining your feeding schedule. We spoke with working & breastfeeding expert, Jessica Shortall, who shares tips from her new book, Work. Pump. Repeat., to help you bridge the gap of being a new nursing mom at work.
Pumping breastmilk at work is hard and sometimes awkward. Luckily, working moms are amazing, and the millions of women who have gone before you have developed some awesome (and sometimes hilarious) hacks to make this crazy journey a little easier.
1. Forgot a pump bottle (or both)? You can use clean coffee cups to catch milk. Wash with soap and hot water, or put a couple of ounces of water into each mug (ceramic, not plastic!), cover with a saucer, and microwave for a minute to steam-clean. You can also Scotch-tape Ziploc bags or breastmilk storage bags to your pump parts.
2. Forgot breast pads? If you're newly back at work, you're probably leaking, and you do not need Tim from Accounts Payable asking you why your shirt is wet. Cut a pantyliner in half – it even has adhesive! Just make sure it is fragrance-free so you don't get a rash.
3. Need ice to keep milk cool on a flight or long car ride? Fill empty breastmilk storage bags with ice, or throw a water bottle in the freezer.
4. Tired of spilling that liquid gold milk when you pour it from your pump bottles to storage bags? Those funnel-shaped horns on your pump are well funnels! Take one off and use it for a clean pour.
5. Pumping in a bathroom stall? This is going to happen to you if you travel for work, and for some working women it's a daily reality, like it or not. Keep a pack of Post-It Notes in your pump bag, and put one over the toilet's auto-flush sensor so it doesn't flush on your butt while you're pumping. Or hang your pump bag on the door hook and stand to pump.
6. Pressed for time? (Hint: You will be.) Don't bother washing your pump parts in between pumping sessions. You can throw them, milk droplets and all, into a large Ziploc bag, and into the fridge. It's sanitary, and lactation-consultant-approved! Put the Ziploc in an opaque bag if you're using a shared office fridge and don't feel like hearing about it from co-workers. The pump horns will be refreshing (that means cold) next time around, but sometimes that can be nice when you have sore boobs!
Most importantly, whatever you do, and however this journey ends up for you, you are an awesome mom. Working AND mothering AND breastfeeding is crazy hard work, and, like most things in parenting, it doesn't work out perfectly for everyone who attempts it. But please be kind to yourself, and remember this: your worth as a mother is not measured in ounces.

London - Football Association chairperson David Bernstein has issued an
unreserved apology to the families of the 96 Liverpool fans killed in
the Hillsborough disaster following the publication of an independent
report into British football's darkest day.
The report by the Hillsborough Independent Panel, published on
Wednesday, revealed a litany of police cover-ups in the wake of the
horrific crush caused by overcrowding at the 1989 FA Cup semifinal
between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
Prime Minister David Cameron made a public apology to the families of
the victims on Wednesday, and there have already been calls for a fresh
inquest and possible criminal charges brought against those responsible.
The hard-hitting report said more than 100 statements taken at the time
had been doctored to remove evidence that portrayed the police in a
negative light. It also disclosed a campaign by the authorities to blame
Liverpool fans for the disaster.
Bernstein said the tragedy at Sheffield Wednesday's stadium should never have happened.
"Ninety-six people lost their lives at the FA Cup semifinal between
Liverpool and Nottingham Forest 23 years ago," he said in a video
statement on the FA's website on Thursday.
"We are deeply sorry this tragedy occurred at a venue the FA selected.
This fixture was played in the FA's own competition, and on behalf of
the Football Association I offer a full and unreserved apology and
express sincere condolences to the families of all those who lost their
lives and to everyone connected with the city of Liverpool and Liverpool
"This should never have happened. Nobody should lose their life when
setting out to attend a football match and it is a matter of extreme
regret and with sadness that it has taken so long for these findings to
be published and the truth to be told.
"For 23 years the families have suffered unbearable pain and we have profound sympathy with them."
The victims in the Hillsborough tragedy died in an overcrowded, fenced-in enclosure at the stadium's Leppings Lane end.
Harrowing images of fans trying to escape the crush, fans being carried
away on makeshift stretchers made from ripped-up advertising boards, and
bodies strewn around the pitch were beamed around the world.
The independent panel, set up in 2010 by the previous Labour government
to examine all the public paperwork relating to the tragedy, concluded
that it could have been avoided, more lives could have been saved, and
that the police response was flawed.
"There were clear operational failures in response to the disaster and
in its aftermath there were strenuous attempts to deflect the blame on
to the fans," it said.
Hillsborough marked the lowest point in British football, which for
decades leading up to the tragedy had been blighted by outdated
facilities and hooliganism, ushering in a new era of modern
family-friendly, all-seater stadiums.
"The FA and English football has changed immeasurably, and has learnt many lessons in the last 23 years," Bernstein said.
In an earlier statement the FA paid tribute to the families of the
victims who have fought for more than two decades for justice for their
loves ones.
"It is also important that the FA recognises the tireless commitment
shown by so many, particularly the Hillsborough Family Support Group,"
it said.
"We welcome the publication of the report and the subsequent comments of the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition."
Victims' families say they are to press for a new inquest into the
disaster and criminal charges brought against those responsible.
"The truth is out today, the justice starts tomorrow," Trevor Hicks, the
president of the Hillsborough Family Support Group and father of two
teenage victims of the tragedy, said after the publication of the
"We will follow every avenue, from prosecution to changing the inquest
verdicts. We are not looking for scapegoats, we are looking for
accountability, and those responsible should hang their heads in shame."
