Reina: Don't write Liverpool off yet in UCL
Goalkeeper Jose Reina insists Liverpool have the ability to overturn Chelsea's lead and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Liverpool trail 3-1 from the first leg of their quarter-final at Anfield and now need to score at least three goals at Stamford Bridge to turn the tie in their favour.
That is something Liverpool have not achieved at Stamford Bridge in two decades.
But, inspired by Bolton's three goals in nine minutes against Chelsea at the weekend, the Champions League final comeback against AC Milan in Istanbul four years ago and their 4-1 drubbing of Manchester United at Old Trafford this season, Reina says the Reds are far from finished.
"Istanbul should be the inspiration for us," said Reina. "We know that the tie is really difficult, but still we have hope.
"We know already that if anyone can turn this around, it's Liverpool. There is always something to exploit. Everybody, every team, has weak points.
"It's going to be difficult, but there is still hope. We have plenty of things to lose, but already we're losing 3-1.
"The clear favourites are Chelsea and it's in their hands, probably. If we play a fantastic, really brilliant game and they have a bad day, then of course we'll have some chances.
"We have to attack and score three goals. Even if we concede one, we'll have the chance to go to extra-time. We have to attack, that's clear. And we'll go for that.
"We have the game at Old Trafford as a big example. We won 4-1 and no-one expected us to do that. We know already it's going to be almost impossible, but if there's someone who can do it, it's going to be Liverpool."
Coach Rafa Benitez believes his side can pull off yet another amazing comeback but the Spaniard rejected suggestions that it would be better than their victory against AC Milan in the final.
"Istanbul was maybe the best ever final in the Champions League in terms of emotion," said the Spaniard. "It would be a fantastic achievement for everyone, but a final is a final.
"We have to believe and think we can win. We have the experience of Old Trafford. We can score goals away against the top sides. We have to approach this game believing we can do well.
"We know Chelsea really well. It's a question of being ready. If we score an early goal, there might be extra motivation for the players."
Benitez is reluctant to use the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster as a motivational tool but he concedes the emotion of the week could inspire both players and fans.
"It's an important week for our fans and the club," added Benitez. "We have some players who have been here a long time, and it could be an inspiration for them in this game.
"The fans will be behind the team because of the game and we can achieve something now linked with the Hillsborough memorial."
But Benitez is not banking on Chelsea making the kind of defensive mistakes they did against Bolton in the final 20 minutes of their 4-3 win at the weekend.
"They were winning, so they made some mistakes," said Benitez. "But it was a different situation. We know they can make mistakes and we can exploit this.
"The first goal will be important for either side but, for us, it would be a massive difference.
"In football, you never know what's going to happen. At this moment, we have nothing to lose. They will be under pressure because they have to win.
"But, still, we're talking about players with experience in the Champions League and the Premier League. It's a question of whether we can score that first goal. We have nothing to lose."

The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Acetaminophen is one of the most common pain relievers (analgesics) and fever reducers (antipyretics) available over the counter. It is generally regarded as safe. However, it is also the most common cause of toxic hepatitis in North America and Europe and one of the most common poisonings from either accidental or intentional overdose.
Acetaminophen is primarily processed (metabolized) by the liver. In therapeutic doses, the liver is able to process the drug safely without any harmful effects. When a large dose is ingested and/or when doses exceed the recommended amount over a period of time, however, the liver may be overwhelmed and may not process the excessive amount of drug. As a result, a toxic intermediate form of the drug can build up in the liver and cause damage to liver cells. If treatment is not given soon enough, liver failure may result.
For this reason, acetaminophen can be harmful or even fatal if not taken correctly and children in particular are at risk if caregivers do not follow dosing instructions carefully. Often, people do not realize that acetaminophen is one of the ingredients in many combination medications such as cold and flu preparations. If two or more of these medications are taken together, levels of acetaminophen may exceed safe limits.
Acetaminophen preparations come in varying strengths and several different forms, including tablets, capsules and liquid.
- For adults, the typical maximum daily limit for acetaminophen is 4000 milligrams (mg). Consuming more than 4000 mg in a 24-hour period is considered an overdose, while ingesting more than 7000 mg can lead to a severe overdose reaction unless treated promptly.
- For children, the amount that is considered an overdose depends on their age and body weight. (For more on this, see the MayoClinic webpage Acetaminophen and children: Why dose matters.)
If it is known or suspected that someone has ingested an overdose of acetaminophen, it is recommended to take the person to the emergency room. If a health practitioner determines that an overdose has occurred, treatment may include an antidote, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which can help minimize damage to the liver, especially if given within 8 to 12 hours after an overdose. Though NAC is ideally administered within this timeframe, people who seek treatment more than 12 hours after ingestion may still be given the antidote.
Until recently, NAC for people who visit healthcare providers later than 24 hours after acetaminophen ingestion was not the standard of care for acetaminophen overdose management in the United States. However, study data from England suggest that NAC may be beneficial for acetaminophen-induced liver failure more than 24 hours after ingestion.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Voice of America
September 18, 2012
Japan's Coast Guard says at least two Chinese government vessels have entered territorial waters near Japanese-controlled islands, as a dispute escalates on the sensitive anniversary of Japan's invasion of China.
The vessels are among 11 Chinese ships spotted Tuesday near the East China Sea islands, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. Japanese authorities earlier turned away another Chinese patrol ship.
Two Japanese activists briefly landed on one the islands Tuesday, prompting an angry response from China's Foreign Ministry, which called the act a "gravely provocative" violation of Chinese sovereignty.
The dispute over the mostly uninhabited islands led to a day of anti-Japan protests in major cities across China. In Beijing, at least 1,000 protesters marched outside the Japanese embassy, holding signs, chanting nationalistic slogans and calling for China to defend its claim to the islands. Many Japanese companies, including Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi and Panasonic have cut back operations in China because of sporadic outbreaks of violence.

Ring out the bells, for this is your day of jubilee! You have been promoted. At last. Yes, after weeks of exhaustive interviews, long evenings of preparation work and out-and-out grovelling, the powers that be have finally conceded that you are the best person for the job. That, or you were called into your boss's office for five minutes and told that you'd got a new position, which you don't remember saying you wanted.
But either way, being promoted is undoubtedly and indisputably a good thing, isn't it? Isn't it? Alison Wright, who works in publishing, has this to say on the subject. "Of course I wanted to be promoted, nobody wants to stay doing the same job forever, but once I was I did find it quite hard to adjust. There was a lot more work, for one thing, and even though I didn't fall out with people in my office or anything as dramatic as that, I did feel that the way people saw me changed."
Jenny Ungless, of City Life Coaching, says, "You do have to keep in mind that a promotion doesn't just mean more money and a better job title. Along with that goes more responsibility and, although I don't necessarily think it should mean longer hours for ever, it's almost inevitable that for the first few weeks you'll be doing more work as you get a handle on your new job."
The best way to make a success of your new job is to learn from your predecessors. "If you're taking over from someone who did the job really well, that's great," says Ungless. "Try and get a handover from them and continue in the same way. If, on the other hand you're taking over from someone who didn't do it very well, you've got to think about what's not working and what you have to get a grip of first in order to turn it around quickly."
And don't think that just because you've been promoted, you should now know all the answers. "Ask for help and advice whenever you need it," says Ungless. "It's a sign of strength, not weakness. And if you think there are specific skills you need to help you do your new job well, ask for training. Better to do it now than in three months when you've made a mess of something important!"
If you're now managing a team, or even just delegating a few more tasks around the office, part of that responsibility might be to be accountable for other people's mistakes and nurturing and protecting the career paths of people apart from yourself.
As a result of your promotion you might even become that dreaded figure: the boss. "In my old job I was very much one of the gang, and I would happily sit around moaning about our managers," says Wright. "In my new job, I felt I was halfway between the two. I still sympathised with my old colleagues but it was sometimes my job just to tell them to get on with it anyway. And sometimes I could see the other side to the argument - especially if I had been told things about the situation that my old colleagues hadn't."
Being new to a position of authority over other people - especially when you've been promoted to manage a team that you used to be a part of - requires some careful handling. "The best way to do it is to consider how you like to be treated at work," says Ungless.
"Try to develop your own management style, because it's the only way you'll be able to be consistent, and consistency is the most important thing. A boss who's happy to mess around one day but comes down like a tonne of bricks the next day is difficult to work for; one who sets clear boundaries is not."
If you're suffering from someone else's attack of jealousy as a result of your promotion, it's best to be upfront about it. "If there's someone who thinks they should have got your job, talk to them about it," says Ungless. "If you sweep it under the carpet, it will fester. Explain that you would feel similarly if the roles were reversed but that you've got to make the best of it as it is. And give them a chance to tell you what will makes things easiest for them going forward."
And once you've done all of that, of course, go out and have some champagne. You've just been promoted, for heaven's sake.

We are feeling very positive about the future here at Hyperallergic HQ and we will be rolling out some new ideas and projects that are in the works but first things first, let's celebrate!
The last six months have proved to us that people are eager for voices in the visual arts that are fun, serious, critical, playful, and always interesting. Hyperallergic is a refuge for everyone who is tired of middle of the road banter and wants to discuss opinions, ideas and news, no matter how controversial and bizarre.
In honor of this fantastic mini-milestone we have finally decided to throw a small informal launch party — better late than never wouldn't you say — at Hyperallergic HQ in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Starting next month we will begin hosting events in the space, including screenings, lectures, panels, roundtables, and discussions, but to kick things off we invite you to join us at the new space on Friday, April 23 from 7 – 11pm for a party that will get the ball rolling.
Come by and meet Hyperallergic contributors and friends! Tour the offices (ok, it's one big loft) and meet our officemate Paddy Johnson of Art Fag City, who promises to make balloon animals during the party!
We look forward to seeing you there!
RSVP on Eventbrite, as space is limited.

New Delhi, India, (SPX) Dec 04, 2008
In view of the exceptional value it has added towards development of geospatial science, The Institute of Photogrammetry (IPI), University of Hannover will be felicitated by GIS Development with the award for 'Building Geospatial Capacities and Knowledge Network' during the inaugural ceremony of Map World Forum on February 10, 2009 at Hyderabad, India.
Prof. Christian Heipke, current Head of IPI along with the past heads - Prof. Gottfried Konecny and Dr. Karsten Jacobsen will receive the honor on behalf of the Institute.
As a premier global geospatial media company, GIS Development recognises and honours mapping agencies, professional societies, companies, individuals and programmes for their visionary and outstanding contribution towards development and growth of geographic information tools, products, applications that in turn help in making geographic information a public commodity.
These awards are presented once every two years during the biennial conference - Map World Forum. Previously, the award was conferred on ITC, The Netherlands in the year 2007.
The Institute of Photogrammetry, University of Hannover has contributed significantly towards development of photogrammetry and remote sensing tools for more than half century. This in turn has become a standard input for creating high resolution and updated geospatial content.
Institute of Photogrammetry has persistently kept on its mission to undertake research, develop technologies and impart knowledge to a large number of students, who could further pursue the advocacy and practices of photogrammetry and remote sensing in various fields of development and management of earth and its resources.
Professionals educated at and associated with Institute of photogrammetry, University of Hannover have been actively engaged in and practicing as geospatial professionals in different capacities with many companies, institutions, survey and mapping organizations and multilateral agencies, and in turn, serving the geospatial community worldwide.
"The whole institute feels deeply honoured about having been selected as the recipient of this prestigious award, and we will certainly strive to live up to it in the future," says Prof. Christian Heipke, Head of the Institute of Photogrammetry and GeoInformation (IPI).
"I believe that if IPI has gained a reputation for international capacity building in geomatics over the years, it is actually far more due to the activities of my predecessor Prof. Gottfried Konecny and Dr. Karsten Jacobsen, both very familiar faces in India, than due to my own. I consider the award as a symbol of recognition for all of our efforts to collaborate with our friends in the international arena."
"What a surprise, that you have selected our Institute to receive recognition at the Map World Forum 2009," added Konecny, an internationally acclaimed remote sensing scholar and despite retirement 10 years ago still very active in his field.
"It will be a pleasure for me to see India again, a country, which I have learned to be fond of since my first engagement for the plans for Iddikki Dam in Kerala in 1964."
And Jacobsen, referring to the Indian space programme incl. The recent successful launch of Chandrayaan-1, remarked that "India has been a worldwide leader in space related remote sensing and GIS technology for many years, and we all are very proud to be presented this award by an organisation with such outstanding international standing."
Sanjay Kumar, Chief Executive Officer, GIS Development said, "It is indeed a matter of pride for us to announce the award being conferred on Institute of Photogrammetry, University of Hannover. We have received excellent feedback on the Institute and our team has also looked deeply into the efforts made by the Institute over the years to develop geospatial science. I personally think that the contributions of the Institute have added grate value to remote sensing and photogrammetry field. I am grateful to Prof. Heipke, Prof. Konecny and Dr. Jacobsen to have personally accepted to receive the award on the institute's behalf."

George Duke, the genre-leaping keyboard star who rose to prominence in former San Diegan Frank Zappa's band in the early 1970s, died Monday night in Los Angeles. A multiple Grammy Award-winner, he was 67 and had been suffering from chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
In addition to having recorded more than three dozen jazz, funk and fusion solo albums, Duke earned acclaim as a producer. His credits as a producer include songs on such landmark albums as Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall" and Miles Davis' "Tutu"and "Amandla," on which he also wrote several songs. In addition, Duke produced albums by such musically varied artists as Smokey Robinson, Anita Baker, Barry Manilow, Dianne Reeves, The Pointer Sisters, Jeffrey Osborne, Take 6, Gladys Knight and many more. Duke's music was sampled on recordings by Daft Punk, Kanye West and numerous other dance, pop, EMD and hip-hop acts.
"George Duke was unbelievably talented and influential," said San Diego guitar wiz Mike Keneally, a Zappa band alum who recorded with Duke in Holland in 2003. "He was one of the first people to demonstrate to me how you could combine absolute technical command and wit and soul, and he did that for a lot of people."
A native of San Rafael, Duke earned a degree in music in 1967 from the San Francisco Conservatory and, in 1993, composed and arranged "Muir Woods Suite," an extended orchestral work. Over the decades, he was a frequent San Diego performer, dating back to his tenure in Zappa's band.
Duke's most recent area concert here was in May, 2012, when he did a concert in Escondido with Grammy-winning singer Al Jarreau (with whom Duke first worked regularly in the mid-1960s in the Bay Area).
"George came to us as an angel," Jarreau said Monday, via email from Spain. "He walked and worked and loved and played like an angel. He's back hanging with the other angels now. I am glad that he was my very good friend."
In 2011, Duke performed at Humphreys Concerts by the Bay with DMS, an all-star pop-jazz band that teamed him with saxophonist David Sanborn and bassist Marcus Miller. In 2009 and 2010, Duke led his band at downtown's now-shuttered Anthology. Duke performed as recently as mid-June, when he was featured at the Hollywood Bowl as part of the 35th annual Playboy Jazz Festival. His most recent solo album, "DreamWeaver," was released last month.
"George was the most incredibly kind, generous and talented person," said concert producer Scott Pedersen, who presented Duke several times at Thornton Winery's Champagne Jazz Series in Temecula.
"What was amazing about George is that, every time he was on stage, you could tell the musicians around him elevated their performances because they were with one of the masters," Pedersen noted. "He just commanded the stage."
A virtuoso keyboardist and gifted composer and band leader, Duke released his debut album -- a straight-ahead, acoustic jazz outing -- in 1966. Three years later, he teamed with French jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, a collaboration that led to him joining Zappa's band. During this same period, Duke performed or recorded with such jazz greats as Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Williams and former Davis band saxophonist Cannonball Adderly, whom Duke fondly called his "musical daddy." Duke also did memorable recordings with such Brazilian music icons as Milton Nasciemento and Flora Purim.
In the 1970s, Duke made several solo albums, most notably "Faces in Reflection," that stand comfortably among the best fusion-jazz albums of the time by Return To Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra. In 1976, Duke performed at SDSU's now defunct Back Door club as part of a short-lived band that teamed him with former Mahavishnu drummer Billy Cobham, guitarist John Scofield and bassist Alfonoso Johnson.
Duke was criticized often in later decades for often assuming a sleek, decidedly commercial musical approach that was geared more to pop and R&B listeners than jazz aficionados. He made no apologies.
"Everything I do is tempered by an awareness of what's going on around us, what's being played on the radio, but I try not to lose my musical integrity," Duke said in a 2005 U-T San Diego interview. "Hopefully, there's always something musical in everything I do. I try to insert expertise into it and make sure it's played very well."
Duke worked with Zappa in the early and mid-1970s. The former San Diego music legend had a profound influence on Duke's own work.
"Zappa was brilliant, and quirky," Duke recalled in a 1995 U-T San Diego interview. "He gave me a sense of (onstage) humor, and he was the first person who got me involved with synthesizers and singing. He knew as much about recording as any engineer I knew.
"Unfortunately, he became a bit vindictive later on in his career, but his music was the highest intensity of anything I've ever played -- and the hardest. Do I still feel his influence? Absolutely. And the beginning section with all the odd time signatures is straight out of Frank. But I've gotten away from doing the super-quirky things, just like I don't do the ultra-funk things anymore. You know, I've gotten older."
In 2002, Duke launched his own record label, BPM, specifically to give himself greater artistic freedom.
"At this point in my life -- somewhere between album number 30 to 35 -- I owe it to myself to not have to do what other people think I should do," Duke said in his 2005 U-T San Diego interview.
"It's very difficult for me to keep one vibe through a record, because I tend to get bored easily. That had a lot to do with me working with Zappa. Even though my music is quite different than Frank's, we both like the idea of being able to throw wrenches into songs, have things evolve in different ways."
Duke is survived by his two sons, John and Rashid. Funeral services will be private, according to a family representative.

Tarek & Theron
As we got off the bus, I told Theron he would get a great new mentor, and even if he didn't, I had his back, just like everyone in our cabin and everyone at CYAR. He turned his head, looked up at me, and said calmly, "I know that"…with a smile and look in his eyes that said yes, he absolutely knows that.
Image: Tarek and his mentee Theron
James & Salvador
Salvador learned healthy outlets for his stress and anger and began to thrive. He stopped doing drugs and quit his gang involvement. He went to class, and his grades climbed dramatically, achieving A's and B's to raise his GPA to well above 3.0.
Youth – Bradley
Bradley looks back now, just weeks before his graduation from Manual High School, and sees how much his expectations have changed.
"Before I didn't have a planned course or destination," he says, "but Dan showed me that you could turn your life around. You could fight against the odds."
Youth – Vanessa
Before Colorado Youth at Risk I was a girl hiding behind my "hoodie". I quickly became a rebellious teen who didn't care what others thought. Now I'm a strong, confident woman in college. I know that I can endure anything thanks to the support of my wonderful CYAR family.
Mentor – Sue
I signed up to become a mentor and was surprised that the two young women I was paired with inspired and challenged me to grow and learn during some challenging circumstances in my life. I now am able to be more self-expressed and make powerful choices in my life. I have revitalized all of my relationships in my life, but most of all I am at peace with who I am.

Welcome to Great Walks With Lucy.
I'm Lucy Tobias, and these feet were made for walking. I'll be your trail guide once a month. We'll meander down paths less traveled as well as four-star walks, some of which are paved. The scenery will be great, and the comments are all live on location - we walk the walk, then talk the talk.
Along the path, both you and I will learn new things about our own back yard. Join me. Read the stories. Walk these walks, then let me know what you think. By getting off the couch and walking outdoors, we'll also be in step with the program Healthy Me in 2003.
Lace up your shoes. Let's get started. The trails are calling.
Carney Island Recreation & Conservation Area, a large county park in Ocklawaha, is famous for its swimming area and known for the current discussion over building boat ramps.
What you might not know is that Carney Island also has some waking trails that should be famous.
Three tails - Fern Gully, 1 mile; Quail loop, 2.2 miles; and Fox Trot, 3.2 miles - loop through the park interior and along the shoreline.
For those who like to walk simply as a short aftermath to a big picnic lunch, there is a half mile trail between the lakes, connecting Little Lake Weir with Lake Weir.
All Carney Island trails are 8 feet wide, well-maintained, with a level dirt surface or wide swaths of mowed grass. For walkers who like to see the sights, meander from side to side and don't worry about trail width or getting lost - it doesn't get any better than this.
After entering the park and paying the $3 day use fee, continue on the long winding road, past the sign that says "beach" and go all the way to the parking lot at the end of the road. Straight ahead of you are large, old oak trees with spreading limbs framing a good view of Lake Weir.
To the right is an information kiosk that gives the trail lengths, plus some suggested "DOs" for any trail hiker - do bring drinking water, a cell phone, insect repellent, sun block and walking stick. And do wear comfortable shoes such as running shoes or hiking boots. Good advice for any trail walking.
During a recent morning walk of the Fern Gully trail, it was like stepping into a wild concert. Frogs delivered deep-throat "ba-gups" from hidden marsh places. Birds, equally hidden, sang in the trees, a feathered choir filling in the alto and soprano to the frog's bass notes.
Sunlight slanted through tall trees and threw shafts of light onto the trail. The scene looked like something you'd see in a cathedral.
At one point, the trail sign itself was obscured - one trail went to the right, for Fox Trot, while Fern Gully looped back to the left - but the sign with the Fern Gully arrow was hidden by shrubbery. We went the wrong way for a while, figured it out and turned back.
The one downside to walking these trails: pets are not allowed. Leave Fido at home.
Early morning is a good time for walking, but be forewarned - first one down the trail gets to cut through cobwebs built across the trail during the night.
Carney Island opens at 8 a.m. It would be nice if they opened earlier during the summer months. In the fall, winter and spring, 8 a.m. is fine, just not now. By 9 a.m., summer heat and humidity will wilt even brave souls wearing safari hats and carrying water.
Be prepared to put on plenty of bug spray. While the trails are elevated, both sides drop off and are marshy in many places.
Marshy areas, as the Center for Disease Control likes to remind us, means mosquitoes.
Art Botzenmayer discovered the Carney Island trails a few years ago because of doctor's orders.
"I hurt my back and the surgeon told me to walk," said Botzenmayer, a Lockheed Martin engineer and an associate scout master with Troop 113 in Weirsdale. At the time, he and his family lived near the water tower, almost within spitting distance of Carney Island.
Botzenmayer, who recently changed jobs and moved his family from Weirsdale to Clermont, walked the longer Fox Trot loop every day for several years. His back improved, plus the scenery was stupendous.
"It's beautiful out here, peaceful, lots of wildlife," Botzenmayer said. That wildlife included wild turkey and deer, including one of the latter that came within touching distance of their son David. And then, there was the coral snake.
"My wife Doreen and I were walking one morning, the coral snake was crossing the road. We just quietly stepped back and it went on its way ."they are not aggressive," Botzenmayer said. Not aggressive, but deadly. Give all snakes plenty of room and give them the right of way.
As walkers go along any of the trails, there are signs saying what plants and animals can be seen at that point. The signs are new.
David Botzenmayer, 17, became an Eagle Scout with Troop 113 and his project was putting up those signs, plus getting donations to cover the costs. In the past the county has budgeted $2,000 for the project, but never did install the signs.
By the time he was finished collecting donations, and with help from family, friends and fellow Scout troop members, David got the job done for $10. A total of 36 signs were installed.
"I learned a lot about trees and animals doing the research for the signs," David said. David and his dad, Art, are also responsible for the "DO" sign in the kiosk and other trail information.
In some places along a trail, a sign will describe a specific tree or plant growing there - like a sweet gum. The casual trail walkers, such as ourselves, read several of those signs. Then we came to one that said "DEER" and it proceeded to describe white-tailed deer...
We stood there, expecting to see deer - after all, we'd seen the sweet gum trees right next to the sign. Not. No deer. The sign was for information only.
But you never know. Some morning, if you are first down the trail, and not talking too loudly, you may see deer.
We did, on our recent morning walk, see one opossum, three butterflies, two rabbits and a slew of spiders who wove gigantic webs in tree limbs. Not bad for a quick walk on a one-mile trail.
Someday soon we'll go back for the full Fox Trot.

GBP/USD (a 4-hour chart)
General overview
The pound softened on the weaker-than-expected Consumer Price Index.
Current situation
The British pound had a negative day on Tuesday. After a brief consolidation at 1.3330 during the Asian hours the sterling continued moving lower in the European session, the day low was marked at 1.3225. The price broke the 50-EMA and tested the 100-EMA in the 4 hours chart. The 100-EMA is crossing the 200-EMA upwards. The current resistance is seen at 1.3360, the support exists at 1.3200.
MACD indicator is in the negative territory, that indicates sellers' growing strength. RSI is moving towards the negative territory.
Trading recommendations
All eyes are right now at the support level 1.3200. The pound might bounce off the level. In this potential scenario buyers will lead the price towards the 1.3250 region. The pair GBP/USD might extend its downward trajectory towards 1.3100 if it breaks the level 1.3200.

text: Justice Department lawyers today deposed Jeffrey Wigand, the former tobacco company executive who told CBS' "60 Minutes" that his former employer, Brown & Williamson Tobacco, lied about the dangers of smoking. Fearing a lawsuit, CBS didn't air the interview. But Wigand, who has himself been sued by Brown and Williamson, is speaking with state and federal attorneys general about the company's decision to market products that it allegedly knew were carcinogenic. Neither Justice nor Wigand would comment about the talks today, but his testimony could devastate Brown and Williamson, which faces two Justice criminal investigations into whether its executives lied to Congress about the harmfulness and addictiveness of their products. "Wigand, the former head of Brown and Williamson's research unit, is apparently a top-notch scientist," says TIME's Michael Riley. "But more importantly, he's now the industry's highest-ranking defector. He knows the inside story, and he's going to tell it. That could spell real trouble for the tobacco industry, whose hard-nosed tactics with Congress and the press and in the courts have so far helped protect it."


text:
The unprecedented operation is part of a town hall contingency plan which also includes measures to secure gas and electricity supplies, public transport and hospital care in the event of flooding which could force the evacuation of up to 50,000 people from central Paris and affect more than 700,000 in the greater Paris area.
"We're not saying the great centennial flood is coming this winter, we're just saying we know it will come some time soon and the signs are not encouraging," Michele Merli, the plan's coordinator, said. "We have to make sure we can deal with it when it happens."
Experts say that conditions between December and March could conspire to produce flooding on a scale not seen in Paris since 1910, when the Seine burst its banks, rowing boats were seen on streets more than a mile from the river, and much of the Ile-de-France region were under water.
The director of the Louvre, Henri Loyrette, said the world's most-visited museum could not afford to sit back and do nothing in the face of persistent early warnings, "particularly given what happened in Germany and central Europe this summer".
Widespread flooding in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and Hungary devastated ancient city centres in August, forcing a frantic attempt to save tens of thousands of valuable artworks and books in museums and libraries.
The Louvre's reserve works will be moved to storage buildings outside the capital, Mr Loyrette said. Similar measures are under way at the Musée d'Orsay, the Pompidou Centre, the Jeu de Paume and the new national library.
Although flood barrages and overspill reservoirs have been built outside Paris since 1910, experts say they are unsure of the impact of a sudden surge in the level of the Seine because the urban landscape has changed beyond recognition.

Beavon relief for Grayson
Simon Grayson was quick to allay fears over Stuart Beavon after the Preston forward was knocked unconscious against Leyton Orient.
Last Updated: 23/03/13 7:36pm
Simon Grayson was quick to allay fears over Stuart Beavon after the Preston forward was knocked unconscious against Leyton Orient.
Beavon was stretchered off after 20 minutes of a feisty goalless stalemate following a clash of heads with Orient defender Nathan Clarke that prompted a lengthy stop in play, but Grayson confirmed Beavon was up and about soon after.
Without Beavon leading the line, Preston could not find a way past inspired Orient goalkeeper Jamie Jones, who produced a string of fine saves to deny Jack King twice and Nicky Wroe late on.
Orient rarely threatened and as a result saw their three-match winning run come to an end, while Grayson was left frustrated his side could not collect a third win on the bounce at Deepdale.
"Beavon got a knock to the head, I think he was knocked out for a small period, but he came round and watched part of the second half," said Grayson.
"We'll assess him over the next few days, he seems to be ok. I suppose it looked worse with the brace, but when somebody's knocked out you don't know what could happen, but we went in at half-time and he was having a shower.
"Through good defending, being brave, and us being not as clinical as we should be, we weren't up a couple of goals at half-time.
"We've taken another point, kept another clean sheet, and drawn a game we could have easily won.
"With some of the opportunities you can't understand how they didn't end up in the back of the net, but at least we created them.
"Eight or nine times out of 10 we would've won that game with the chances we created."

Jessica Simpson Out of the Hospital
Jessica Simpson Spotted in Sweats Post Hospitalization
Jessica Simpson Spotted in Sweats Post Hospitalization
Jessica Simpson went out, but certainly didn't get dressed up, for lunch with Tina, Ashlee, and Pete in LA yesterday. It's the first time she's been out since spending last weekend at Cedars-Sinai with a kidney infection — which at face value seems innocuous, but there are always questions when mysterious hospitalizations are involved — and she is apparently "feeling much better." Sadly, her man Tony isn't able to be there and nurse her back to recovery, but at least she's got a furry friend from him to cuddle with.

Barbaric torture or Miracle continued
John replied: "I'm sorry Doug, but that's the way they have to be. In fact, they need to be tighter. Do you need a break?"
"Yes, give me a few moments here." John stopped. I took some deep breaths. "Ok, now just screw them home." I could hear crunching noises coming from my skull. If you look at the photo you can see the blood weeping from under the bolts.
My friend through-out this ordeal was Darlene. She chatted with me during the fitting, trying to keep my mind off of what was happening. I knew what she was doing and was perfectly fine with it.
After the "halo" was on my wife took the photo you see, laughing that it would the only time I would be an angel. Then it was time for another CAT scan, and down to the OR. In the operating room my head was immobilized by a mechanical device of some sort. The anesthesiologist introduced herself and placed an oxygen cannulae under my nose. The doctor asked me which side I wanted done first: right or left. It was a question I'd never thought about. I said left, because that was the side that the Parkinsons first affected. The doctor asked me if I was right-handed, and maybe I wanted that side done first?
I admit that made me feel stupid. Doing the right side first was the obvious choice. I felt as if I had flunked an exam.
"Ok. We will do the left side of the brain first." (The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body.)
Then In the next moment I was out cold.
I have no idea how long I was out. I could hear some one calling to me to wake up and did I feel some thing on my right side? "What am I supposed to be feeling ?" I asked.
"Douglas, do you feel a shock, a tingling?"
"Ok, we can go deeper: 14, 15. Douglas, do you feel that?" I could feel a little something. Then I felt it: A BIG honking shock. My eyes rolled backwards in my head. I groaned.
One doctor shouts something like "He's going ocular!"
Someone else says "Good! Very good!"
I'm flopping around like a fish and this guy says "Good." Whata wack job.

Doug, you are amazing….certainly hope the procedure is too. Blessings and smiles, Joyce

Notes: Uribe, Anderson heating up
Notes: Uribe, Anderson heating up
Entering Monday's series finale at the Metrodome, the White Sox were tied for third in runs scored at 203, stood fourth in home runs at 50, and ranked fifth in the American League with a .281 average. These statistics were put up without much help from Juan Uribe or Brian Anderson in the eighth and nine spots of the lineup.
That is, until the past week or so. Just days after manager Ozzie Guillen joked about the balance in his lineup, with a group of hitters over .300 and a couple under .200, both Uribe and Anderson have started to take off. Anderson had two hits and a run scored Sunday, raising his average to .187, while Uribe's three hits Sunday put the shortstop squarely at .200. Uribe was hitless in five at-bats during Monday's 7-3 victory, falling back down to .191, but he still looks to be moving toward one of his patented and often lengthy hot streaks.
"Yeah, both are making progress, after they dug themselves a little bit of a hole," said White Sox hitting coach Greg Walker of Uribe and Anderson. "Juan has come out of it before. He's been a streaky hitter the last two years and he's proven that when he does get on a roll, he can really run it out.
"Brian, since Ozzie gave him those days off, his at-bats have been a lot better. He's getting results and he's just got to keep doing what he's been doing."
Both Walker and Guillen praised Anderson for the way he has mentally handled his offensive struggles. Guillen mentioned being slightly irked by Anderson hanging his head after a strikeout during a game a couple of weeks ago in Cleveland, a point he quickly made to the rookie.
"I'm not going to deal with that," Guillen said. "Just give me the best you have in every at-bat. He was a little embarrassed and I got a little mad at him."
The continued improvement of Uribe and Anderson, though, simply makes a powerful and improved unit that much stronger.
"Our power game in the middle has been really good all year," Walker said. "Our small ball game is doing well, and we are doing well in situational hitting. So, I have no complaints right now. Everything is good."
Bring on the Cubs: Jose Contreras threw a full-blown side session Monday morning. While he wasn't satisfied with his control, according to Guillen, Contreras took another major step in returning to the mound this Sunday against the Cubs at U.S. Cellular Field.
"It sure looks like we are going in the right direction. That's nice to see. He was very strong," said White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper of Contreras. "The other day was basically taking it out for a test run, and that test run turned into more than I thought we would do on that day.
"So, obviously he felt good. Today, he threw all of his pitches from all his angles. If he feels good the rest of today and tomorrow, we are really looking like we are in a good spot."
Contreras will throw a final sideline Thursday in St. Petersburg, in preparation for his to-be-announced start, which would be in the series finale of the crosstown showdown. Cooper added a pitch count was not kept on Monday, although an unofficial total came in somewhere around 76.
Basically, Contreras threw enough to have a good workout, using all his pitches, from all of his various angles.
"He's the type from what we've seen so far, that when he has a little something, we want to make sure he has a couple of times to get it out of his head," said Cooper of Contreras working through his bout of sciatica. "And today it sure looks like it was out of his head. He's looking good."
Leading the way: Starting off a season mired in a 3-for-38 slump certainly will be quite a bit more noticeable than if that same hitting funk came 200 at-bats or so into the campaign. Scott Podsednik understood that fact, as he dealt with that exact issue in April, coming off of his All-Star effort in 2005.
But with three hits Sunday and three more Monday, Podsednik raised his average to .300 and is hitting .519 over a seven-game hitting streak, which was extended to seven Monday via his second-inning home run. The fleet-footed leadoff man has been pulling pitches to right almost as frequently as he's been hanging out line drives the other way. Mix in a bunt single or an infield hit or two, and Podsednik appears to have a full offensive repertoire back at his disposal.
"I don't want to sit here and jinx it, but as far as what I can bring to the table as a player, I'm capable of doing it all right now," said Podsednik, who finished 8-for-14 in the four games against the Twins. "With my approach and the way I'm feeling up there, I would like to continue this ride for as long as I can.
"Right now is where I pretty much need to be," Podsednik added.
Podsednik hasn't made any significant changes to his swing to improve his fortunes at the plate. It's simply a matter of confidence and gradually working his way back into top form.
"More confidence and a better feel," Podsednik said. "It's all feel with me. Some days I have it and some days I don't. I've maintained that feel over the past couple of weeks."
Third to first: Guillen still has not heard from the MLB office in New York in regard to a possible fine or suspension for Saturday's ejection and postgame diatribe concerning the ejection. ... Jim Thome has three home runs and seven RBIs in seven games against the Twins. His home run Sunday night was his 24th at the Metrodome, the most by any opponent of the Twins at the Metrodome, and Thome has 23 home runs in his last 41 games -- dating back to Spring Training. ... The White Sox have held the lead, at some point, in 183 of their last 217 games dating back to 2004, including 32 of 37 this season.
Down on the farm: Josh Fields continued his torrid pace at the plate with a 5-for-5 showing during Triple-A Charlotte's 7-3 victory over Louisville on Sunday. Fields has homered in four straight games, including two on Sunday, giving him eight for the season. Jeff Nelson threw one scoreless inning, while Javier Lopez lowered his ERA to 0.44 with two strikeouts over two perfect innings for his sixth save. ... Tyler Lumsden improved to 4-1, allowing four hits over eight innings, as part of Double-A Birmingham's 5-2 victory over Mississippi. Lumsden has a 2.91 ERA over 46 1/3 innings, with 33 strikeouts, while Lance Broadway is 4-1 with a 1.42 ERA over 50 2/3 innings pitched.
Up next: It's start No. 1 of the 2006 campaign for Brandon McCarthy (2-1, 5.21 ERA), who has previously been used exclusively out of the bullpen. McCarthy, who will be limited to between 60 and 70 pitches against Tampa Bay, will be opposed by Scott Kazmir (5-2, 2.94 ERA).

It after all compiles *much* faster than GHC, but produces slower binaries.

It does? If I compile a module on which lots of other modules depend, I have to do lots of recompilation... If I compile a module which is in a cyclic dependancy group, I have to do lots of recompilation, I don't see that there's a difference here. >> I can understand your point >> about a module on it's own not being analyzable, and that that's an >> odd >> property -- on the other hand, the rapidly emerging "atomic" unit in >> Haskell is the package, so I see no reason why modules within one >> package shouldn't depend on each other. > > Implicit in my working definition of "module" is that a module has a > well-defined interface.

That's a fair point about programming style, otoh, I don't think it's a reason to restrict users to not using cyclic dependancies. >> Finally, as chris suggests, if separate compilation is important to >> you, why not have a flag in ghc -frequire-hi-boot or something? > > Well, if I wanted separate header files, and the inevitable multiple- > maintenance headaches associated with them, I'd program in C.

Something *does* prevent the compiler doing that job -- the fact that ghc can't deal with cyclic module includes without an hi-boot file. This is *exactly* my point -- I don't see why my time should be wasted doing the job of the compiler just because I happen to have a cyclic dependancy, that the compiler could quite happily sort out, by making my compile time in this situation slightly longer. If I *really* think I'm going to save more time by writing a hi-boot file, then I would be able to turn on the option! Bob

Premium Financing is now available on all Texas landlord insurance programs.
If the property electrical wiring, plumbing and roofing system have al been updated in the last 20 years then you can qualify for a discount on your landlord insurance policy rate by using the most recent remodeling date as the age of the structure. Up to a 10% credit.
We are now offering $5000 of accidental water damage coverage with DP1 policies on standard Fire, EC, Vmm policies for a flat $100 of AP. This applies to tenant and or owner occupied Home.
Investment properties can present risks not normally associated with an Owners occupied dwelling. A well thought out Landlord Insurance Policy or Landlord Cover note can be cost effective as well as provide the necessary financial protection required to secure your investment.
1. Update your heating, electrical and plumbing systems to modern standards and you may qualify for a discount of as much as 15%. Even though you may like the old-fashioned fire place, it may not be as fire-safe as a modern heating system. Building technology has advanced in many ways to make an older residence much safer. You'll in addition to being a lower home insurance risk, make your House more valuable in terms of its worth in the marketplace.
3. The material you use in the construction of your House goes a long way in affecting your home insurance rates in Texas. Buy a frame house if you want more resistance to earthquakes or buy brick if you want better resistance to high winds. Those who live in the West will pay lower insurance rates if theirs is a frame because of the earthquakes there. Building with the appropriate material for your state can easily save you a 5%.
2. Many Texas Landlords do not know half the insurance discounts that are available to them with their insurer. If you don't know something exists you cannot position yourself to take advantage of it. Tell your insurance agent about any updates or major repairs to get possible discounts and find out what you need to do to take advantage of them. Insurers do not always advertise all available discounts but that doesn't mean they don't have them. Don't forget, you could also save some money and moreover, you have nothing to lose by asking.
4. You could save hundreds of dollars by simply obtaining and evaluating various Policy Quotes. DP1 policies are often cheaper home insurance policies but may offer less coverage. The DP2 broad form property insurance policy is the most popular and may offer the best value for the money. The DP3, All Risk Insurance Policy is the Gold Standard Cadillac of homeowners insurance policies in the Market. It's not the cheapest insurance policy but will offer the most coverage.
We have a new Texas commercial insurance facility available that will insure most types of commercial
risks where
the properties values are up to $5,000,000 per location.

The Airbus Defence and Space C295 is a new generation, very robust and reliable, highly versatile tactical airlifter able to carry up to nine tonnes of payload or up to 71 personnel, at a maximum cruise speed of 260 kt /480 km/h. Fitted with a retractable landing gear and a pressurised cabin, it can cruise at altitudes up to 25,000 ft, while retaining remarkable short take-off & landing (STOL) performance from unprepared short, soft and rough airstrips, as well as low level flight characteristics. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127G turboprop engines, the C295 provides an excellent manoeuvrability, outstanding hot and high performance, low fuel consumption and consequently a very long endurance of up to eleven hours in the air.First delivered in 2001, the C295 is a developed version of the well-known CN235, offering greater capacity and range. Its simple systems design and robustness, its proven in service reliability, its excellent flying qualities and great versatility, as well as its remarkable transport capabilities make it the most efficient "workhorse" with the lowest fuel burn, as well as the best operating and maintenance costs in its category.. The civil and military certification of the C295 ensures compliance with the international airworthiness regulations and safety standards, including the stringent FAR 25 requirements.
Now, with the new C295W version equipped with winglets, the aircraft is capable of transporting more payload over larger distances in the hot and high conditions typical of various countries included in this tour of the region, resulting in fuel savings of around 4% and increased safety margins in mountainous regions.
Being 12.7 m / 41 ft 8 in long, the C295 has the longest unobstructed cabin in its class. It can accommodate up to 71 seats, offering a much higher persononnel carrying capability than its competitors in this segment. For the same reason, it can carry much more palletised cargo(up to five 88 inch X 108 inch standard HCU-6E pallets) with direct off-loading through its rear ramp door.
The C295's STOL capability combined with a strong landing gear enable it to operate in the most austere locations with the worst conditions for take-off and landings. The aircraft is a tactical military transport with a light footprint to enable operations from short (no longer than 670 m / 2,200 ft), soft and rough (CBR 2) unprepared airstrips. The C295 is also designed to provide outstanding low-level flight characteristics for tactical missions, flying at speeds down to 110 kt.
The C295 has an outstanding reliability track record. In service since 2001, and with some 80 aircraft in operations, it has amply demonstrated its worth as an outstanding "work-horse" for any kind of military transport or civic and humanitarian relief operations in the most varied environments, ranging from desert to mountainous areas, to hot and dry as well as humid or very cold. The C295 is based on the earlier CN235, but with many component updgrades. Both aircraft feature a strong airframe and simple general systems with fewer components. These are key elements to ensure high reliability, and low maintenance and operating costs. The effectiveness and soundness of the CN235/C295 general systems design is backed by one million flying hours of operational experience in all types of environments.
The robustness and versatility of the C295 makes it the ideal platform for any type of military or civic operations for the benefit of society. The aircraft performs any type of mission: from personnel, troop and bulky/palletised cargo transportation to casualty evacuation, communication and logistic duties, search and rescue, surveillance and control, homeland security, or certified air-dropping,. It is able to perform all these missions with the lowest configuration change time, thus reducing the risk exposure when operating in hostile environments. A key to the aircraft's unique patrol and surveillance capabilities is its Fully Integrated Tactical System (FITS) which integrates, controls and displays the mission sensors, enhancing the mission awareness and facilitating the decision making.
Military Operations:
The C295 aircraft is combat proven and has successfully completed military missions in all types of environments. It routinely operates in the hot and humid environments of the Brazilian jungle and Colombian mountains, in the dusty and very hot deserts of Algeria and Jordan, and in the extremely cold winters and icy conditions of Poland and Finland. The C295 has been successfully used during long deployments (up to two years, flying up to 90 hours per aircraft per month) in remote areas, such as Chad, Iraq and Afghanistan.The C295 has become the most trusted airlifter in its category, being used either as single transport type, or as a versatile and efficient complement to heavy airlifters and transport helicopters. Thirty two nations operate the CN235/295 light/medium airlifters to complement their C-130-class aircraft, including Abu Dhabi, Brazil, France, Jordan, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Spain and Turkey.
Proven in the Service of Armed Forces.
In its military role the C295 is used for:
- Tactical transport of troops and the required logistic supplies (water, food, ammunition, medical supplies, spare parts) from the main operating base to the forward bases, and among forward locations. The C295 can use short aunprepared irstrips not accessible to heavier aircraft.
- Airdrop of paratroops and loads, with the use of 88in-width platforms and container delivery system (CDS) A22 bundles.
- Activities related to antiterrorism, border control and homeland security, thanks to its integrated surveillance systems, including the FITS.
- Casualty evacuation (Casevac) /Medical evacuation (Medevac) using either basic litters or mobile intensive care units (ICU) with life support equipment.
Self protection. In addition to its outstanding manoeuvrability and STOL characteristics, the C295 offers optional self-protection equipment, which are already in service in hostile environments like Iraq and Afghanistan: cockpit armour, radar warning (RWR), missile warning (MAWS), laser warning (LWS), and chaff/flares dispensers. In flight refuelling capability is also optional for the C295.
Additional versions. Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR): The C295 is also available in an "Anti Submarine Warfare" (ASW)version and an Airborne Early Warning (AEW&C) and Control fitted with the IAI/ELTA 4th Generation Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radar. Other C295 special versions are: Gunship(Close Air Support to ground troops, convoys, facilities, etc), Tactical Aerial Refuelling (to increase the radius of action for combat SAR or Special Ops helicopters) and SIGINT version.
Anti submarine Warfare
Airbus Defence and Space's anti-submarine warfare (ASW) version of the C295 Intelligence and Surveillance (ISR) is equipped with a tactical system proven during ISR/ASW missions, and under-wing stations to carry weapons and other stores. It represents a modern, risk-free and much more efficient alternative to older generation veterans such as the P-3 Orion or the Bréguet Atlantique, while its operating and maintenance costs are significantly lower. The version received certification from Spanish authority INTA in July 2010. It is also the first time in 30 years that a completely new Anti Submarine Warfare aircraft is developed and certified in Europe.The C295 ASW benefits from the experience accumulated with the CN235 since 1994 on maritime patrol missions, for which its Fully Integrated Tactical System (FITS) is an essential element. This important milestone further confirms Airbus Defence and Space's capacity to integrate complex systems into its aircraft or other platforms for any kind of military and civic use.
Airborne Early Warning
Airbus Defence and Space is currently flight testing an Airborne Early Warning & Command (AEW) version of its C295. The C295 demonstrator is fitted with a six metre / 19 ft 18 in diameter rotodome. The primary sensor of the AEW&C will be the IAI/ELTA 4th Generation Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radar with integrated IFF. This follows an agreement signed by Airbus Defence and Space and IAI/ELTA in June 2011 at the Le Bourget Airshow.The C295 AEW&C has been designed to provide high quality 360º surveillance, creating in real-time an integrated Air and Maritime Situation Picture and Electronic Order of Battle. The AEW&C Situation Picture is shared with friendly forces via Network Centric data links.A C295 fitted with a rotodome demonstrator is conducting flight trials from Airbus Defence and Space's Seville facility since 8th June 2011. The initial tests have shown that the aircraft is aerodynamically an excellent platform for this purpose. ELTA Systems and Airbus Defence and Space are now conducting engineering studies to integrate the mission suite, including AESA radar, among other sensors, with the FITS into the aircraft.
Civic / Humanitarian Missions:
Humanitarian Missions. The C295 is ideal for any kind of "civic" / humanitarian mission for the benefit of society. Robust, solid, rugged, and with outstanding low level flight and short take-off and landing characteristics from unprepared rough, soft and short airstrips, but also a flying endurance of up to eleven hours, the C295 is also fitted with Airbus Defence and Space's unique Fully Integrated Tactical System (FITS) allowing any kind of surveillance and monitoring.
Civic Missions. The C295's "civic" activities include surveillance and control activities such as search and rescue, monitoring of illegal immigration, drug smuggling, piracy, illegal fishery, maritime pollution control and deterrance, wild deforestation, bringing supplies to people living in remote locations (isolated islands, deserts, etc). These are performed by most of the operators, such as the Portuguese Air Force to patrol the huge Portugal's Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ), including areas around Azores and Madeira islands. Chilean Navy and Brazilian Air Force also use the C295 for search and rescue (SAR) missions.The Surveillance activities can be performed thanks to the Fully Integrated Tactical System (FITS), which can be installed in both permanent or palletized solution.
The robustness and versatility of the C295 makes it the ideal platform for any type of military or "civic" operations for the benefit of society. The aircraft performs any type of mission: from personnel, troop and bulky/palletised cargo transportation to casualty evacuation, communication and logistic duties, search and rescue, surveillance and control, homeland security, or certified air-dropping,. It is able to perform all these missions with the lowest configuration change time, thus reducing the risk exposure when operating in hostile environments. A key to the aircraft's unique patrol and surveillance capabilities is its Fully Integrated Tactical System (FITS) which integrates, controls and displays the mission sensors, enhancing the mission awareness and facilitating the decision making.
The C295 is fitted with the Highly Integrated Avionics System (HIAS), an advanced integrated avionics system based on the Thales Topdeck ® Avionics suite. The flexible architecture concept and the use of dual technology civil/military equipment ensure success on demanding tactical missions, growth potential for future equipment as well as compatibility with the latest civil airspace environment.
The left engine is fitted with a propeller brake: while on the ground the engine gas generator can function in APU mode with the propeller stopped to deliver electrical power and bleed air for the aircraft systems. The propeller brake system provides the same ground-power functionalities of a conventional on-board APU at a fraction of the cost, weight and complexity.
The C295 glass cockpit with digital avionics includes four large active matrix liquid crystal displays (6''x8''), fully compatible with night vision goggles. The advanced integrated avionics system with multifunctional displays provides improved situational awareness and flight safety, lower pilot workload and enhanced mission effectiveness.The system functionalities support the requirements for both civil and military tactical environments: CARP/HARP computational aids (for precision airdrops), performance management, VNAV, radio management, tactical databases, etc. The autopilot and flight director System is certified under FAR-25 requirements for ILS Cat I and Cat II approaches and GPS non-precision approaches for automatic or manual operations.

>Technical Support>can't drag or copy workouts to new day
When I click to drag a scheduled workout to another day, the original workout disappears.
Click on the date and not on the workout itself. So when you are in calendar mode, click on the horizontal area just to right of the date and drag it to new date.
That didn't work. There is something wrong. I have never had an issue moving/copying a workout from one date to another. There is a technical problem here.
Let me ask the obvious then - are you in a training plan? are you in edit mode (clicking on pencil)? and are you dealing with planned workouts - not completed workouts?
I just was able to modify a training plan using this method.
Everything is back to normal. I can move and copy files again. There must have been some sort of glitch on either my computer or on the server end. Glad all is well.
I haven't uploaded any changes to the site in the last 28 days so I think the problem is on your computer. What browser and operating system are you using? Were you using the same computer when the problem occurred and when it went away?

Welcome to BN, wheelspinner! It is always heart-warming to see hundreds of people joining BN for the holidays, with the sole purpose of finding one'n'only fragrance for their SOs.
Here is what you do:
1) Please do not give her the whole bottle bought blind, i.e. without HER sniffing the fragrance first.
2) Give her a carefully selected arrangement of samples/decants prettily packaged in a bowl/basket/box so that you could have fun together with HER final word resulting in a FB purchase. Or, rather, if you are in a big city, take her out to the stores and spend 4-5 hours sniffing with her at the fragrance counters, grab some samples to further sniff at home, and once again, listen to what she is saying.
3) The suggestions (but not limited to!) will be:
-- Romea d'Ameour The Secret Heroines of the Tsar;
-- Hermes Un Jardin Sur le Toit;
-- Annick Goutal Ninfeo Mio;
-- Histoires de Parfums Vert Pivoine;

At a DICCI program at Gachibowli here he said that efforts will be made to make at least encourage 500 Dalit persons become investors by encouraging at least 10 persons from each district by Ambedkar Jayanthi next year. He stated that the new industrial policy is fetching new industries and investments to the state and offering job opportunities. Though inclusive growth is possible when the government can offer job and employment opportunities to Dalits, backward and needy classes in the state he maintained. Stating that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao sought to know as to how many people be made investors from backward classes, the new industrial policy is working towards that end he maintained. He also stated to check the misuse of funds and schemes meant for Dalits and backward class which came to his notice during his visit to Khammam recently. He asked DICCI to come up with some suggestions on the efforts and said that such maladies will be checked and stringent measures will be taken against the violators and help the SCs, STs and BCs to develop. He also agreed to a suggestion of DICCI to conduct a training program on T Pride scheme should be conducted for youth.
Sought some incentives and subsidies to the Dalits and BCs enabling them repayment in easy installments. KTR promised to release arrears and asked to encourage Dalit youth to set up industries of rock sand.
