We start a new series with this issue.
The Looking Glass will depict how others look at medical practice, its practitioners, mental health workers and philosophers. It will also reflect on happenings in the world of Medicine and Science.
We start with Medical Journals. The CMAJ…
The date: Feb 20, 2006. Medical publishing was rocked by the sudden dismissal of the Editor In Chief of the CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal), John Hoey, and a Senior Deputy Editor Anne Mary Todkill. The Editor appointed in the interim, Stephen Choe and another Deputy Editor Sally Murray, also resigned in a week's time, on 28 Feb to be precise. Along with them also went Jerome Kassirer, a former CMAJ editorial board member and a former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), appointed to frame regulations or governance plans about editorial independence.
All these are well-respected professionals in the field of biomedical publication and there has been a huge outcry, both in the medical as well as popular press, at their abrupt sacking.
If this were not enough, fifteen out of the nineteen members of the editorial board of the CAMJ also resigned, precipitating a grave crisis. In the meanwhile, the CMA, in an attempt at damage control, appointed an interim Editor, Noni Macdonald, along with an Editor Emeritus, Bruce Squires, who has been an earlier editor of CMAJ, and a founder member of WAME. A retired Chief Justice of the Canadian Supreme Court has been appointed to chalk out a Governance Plan for Editorial independence. Changes are also envisaged in the JOC (Journal Oversight Committee). The CMA President is exhorting everyone concerned to move on, and has assured a policy of editorial independence. The atmosphere, at the time of writing this, is combative and smoldering, and a distinct unease prevails.
There has been a long-standing feud between the CMA, the organisation that owns and tries to control CMAJ, and the Editor of CMAJ over editorial independence. John Hoey has been asking for greater editorial independence since the journal, although belonging to the CMA, according to him, actually belongs to the whole world of medicine and science, and is, really speaking, accountable mainly to them.
John Hoey, in nearly a decade at the helm (he was hired in August 1996), has brought CMAJ from a modest journal to one whose impact factor is today fifth in the world of general medical journals, only less than that of the NEJM (38.6), JAMA (24.8), Lancet (21.7) and BMJ (7.0). He brought it from an impact factor of 1.6 in 1997 to an impressive 5.9 in 2004. (It has since gone to 7.4 in 2005. See 'About CMAJ' at : http://www.cmaj.ca/misc/about.shtml).
What has happened with the CMAJ closely approximates what happened with JAMA in 1999 when George Lundberg, the editor for 17 years at JAMA (Jan 1982 onwards), and who brought it to scientific respectability, was summarily sacked by the executive vice-president of the American Medical Association (AMA), E Ratcliffe Anderson, Jr., during the Bill Clinton oral sex episode. He was sacked because he fast tracked an article on college students′ perception whether oral sex constituted sex (Sanders and Reinisch, 1999). A predominant section, 59%, felt it did not. Now this coincided with the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky episode, for which the Republicans wanted to impeach the President. And the publication of such a report in a prestigious Journal like the JAMA may have acted to blunt the opposition. The AMA, which owns the JAMA, predominantly supported the Republicans. Such a fast track publication by the powerful Editor was thought to be a political move by the Association office bearers. Although, mind you, it was peer reviewed and accepted for publication in a proper manner. But the fact that it was fast tracked to coincide with this episode was enough to precipitate the sacking. And no amount of outcry that the Journal fast tracked not for any other reason but that it was topical convinced the Association to change its stance. For further reading connected to this, please refer to Hoey, Caplan, Elmslie et al (1999); Smith (1999a, 1999b); Van Der Weyden (1999); Kassirer (1999a); and Horton (1999).
The same year, Jerome Kassirer, Editor of NEJM, was sacked because he insisted the Massachusetts Medical Society, which owns the journal, not use the name of NEJM for ancillary products as it may increase the credibility of the latter but ran the danger of reducing the credentials of the former, carefully developed and crafted by Editors and their Boards by decades of hard work. Well, the argument too did not cut much ice with the association wanting to cash in on the NEJM name, and he was fired too. Marcia Angell, who came as interim Editor-in -Chief, too did not last long at the helm. For those who need to be updated, she went on to write the reasonably well read, The Truth About Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us And What To Do About It (Angell, 2004) after that, as she appeared fed up with the way pharma tried to manipulate medicine, and medical journals too. Kassirer too, interestingly, went on to write his own book on a similar theme: On the Take: How Medicine's Complicity with Big Business Can Endanger Your Health (Kassirer, 2004). For details of the Kassirer episode at NEJM, see Parmley (2000), Hoey (1999), Kassirer (1999b) and Angell (1999).
The salutary effect of sacking the editor of JAMA was establishment of an Editorial Governance Plan (Signatories of the Editorial Governance Plan 1999; DeAngelis and Maves 2004), as well as discussion on editorial governance and independence by concerned academicians and editors (Davies and Rennie, 1999). The JAMA since then has had a relatively smooth sailing.
The CMAJ episode was sparked off by two separate but related incidents (although, to be fair, the CMA and the CMA Media Inc President deny any such links).
One was in September 2005, when a Plan B morning-after pill (levonorgestrel), a pill for contraception to be used by females, was investigated in the CMAJ. (It is not only a morning after pill. Well it is in a way, for supposed to be taken the morning after, but effective if taken up to even 72 hours later). The pharmacists had a big stake in the product. It was changed from a prescription to a non-prescription emergency contraceptive drug, but with an important rider. The pill was costly enough, but the pharmacist was supposed to charge almost an equal amount for counselling about the appropriateness of the drug. Moreover, they were supposed to collect personal details, including sexual history, during this counselling. The CMAJ probed this by asking a few ladies whether they approved of this, which obviously they did not (Eggertson and Sibbald, 2005). The Canadian Pharmacists Association objected, saying a medical journal had no business to do investigative journalism. The CMA, the controlling body, concurred with the pharmacists for obvious reasons. Also, they probably wanted a stick to beat an uncompromising editor with. The article was published with alterations suggested by the CMA. But the Editor wrote an editorial on 3 January 2006 (early release 12 December 2005), denouncing the act, accusing the publisher of editorial interference since they removed a sidebar to the journal's news article which suggested that pharmacists were infringing on women's privacy rights by demanding and registering personal information on the Plan B contraceptive (CMAJ, 2006):
We have a transgression to report. While the Dec. 6, 2005, issue was in preparation, the editorial independence of the journal was compromised when a CMA executive objected strenuously to a news article we were preparing on behind-the-counter access to emergency levonorgestrel (Plan B). The objection was made in response to a complaint from the Canadian Pharmacists Association, who had learned about the article when they were interviewed by our reporters. The CMA's objection was conveyed to CMAJ's editors, and to our publisher, who subsequently instructed us to withhold the article.
The stated objection was to our reporting method; as one component of the story, we had asked 13 women from across Canada to attempt to purchase Plan B from a pharmacy in their community and then tell us what the experience was like. The CMA questioned the propriety of our investigation and the boundary between news reporting and scientific research. Our story was not scientific research, however, but legitimate journalism (CMAJ, 2006).
The editorial further said:
We felt that we had a choice between pulling the entire story, or getting most of it out by publishing a negotiated revision. We opted for the latter: what our readers saw omitted the results of our informal survey. This transpired without the story having been read by those who were raising the objection.
Our objective in making this incident public is to set in motion a process to ensure the future editorial independence of the journal. Readers expect CMAJ editors to select content without interference, and authors expect their work to be judged without regard to the interests of any third party. Readers and news media who rely on our reporting need to know that our journalists are not subject to censure (CMAJ, 2006).
There has been a history of confrontation between the Editor of CMAJ and the CMA. On Sept 17 2002, the journal had carried an editorial criticising Bill 114, a proposed Quebec legislation that was meant to force family physicians to work on emergency duty during shortage of staff (CMAJ, 2002). This had lead to an altercation between the then CMA President Dana Hanson who called it, on October 29th, 2002, 'seriously flawed' and said further that the 'conclusion that physicians have betrayed a trust which we all hold at the very heart of medicine is repugnant' (Hanson, 2002). On November 26th 2002, the CMAJ Editorial board called it a 'clear and present danger', in a letter in the journal, and said ensuring editorial independence was critical to its progress (Armstrong et al, 2002). They said further:
Whether or not one agrees with the opinions stated in the Sept. 17 editorial is not the fundamental issue here: rather, it is the right to articulate such an opinion without concern forretribution by an organization or corporation that holds ownership or operating responsibility for the journal (Armstrong et al, 2002)
In December 2002, a Journals Oversight Committee to ensure smooth functioning between the CMAJ and CMA was formed and had its first meeting. The love-hate relationship between a prosperous Journal wanting greater editorial independence and a wary Association trying to control and clip its wings continued till the Plan B episode, in which a powerful lobby like the pharmacists′ interests were involved.
The other precipitating factor, the final straw in a way, was critical remarks on the coming to power of the present Health Minister of Canada, Tony Clement. He is known to favour privatization and corporatisation of the health sector by introducing private provision within the public sector. The CMA supports this move. It will obviously benefit both CMA members and the pharmaceutical industry. Both important constituencies, and both would want, and support, such a move. Kassirer et al (2006) give the lowdown on this rather murky state of affairs:
As this report on the Plan B commentary was being finalized, we became aware through a communication of the Canadian Health Coalition that another news story published electronically on Feb. 7, 2006, was subsequently removed from the CMAJ Web site (online Appendix 1, www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/174/7/945). The article was a report on the appointment of the federal Minister of Health by the new Conservative government. It pointed out the health minister's favourable stance toward privatization of health care delivery during his tenure as the Minister of Health for Ontario. On Feb. 22, 2006, a different report on the federal Minister of Health appeared in the original's place (online Appendix 2, www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/174/7/945). Though the revised article contains some of the same phraseology as the original, it is more supportive and less critical of the health minister and seems more beneficial to the CMA. We pose the question as to whether the extensive revision of this article is another instance in which the political interests of the CMA exerted an influence on CMAJ publishing decisions. Some days before the firing of the editor in chief and senior deputy editor, the JOC was informed about a disagreement concerning the original Tony Clement article, but the JOC turned down a request for an emergency meeting. The editors are not willing to comment on how the changes came about; the publisher has also declined comment.
Under such circumstances, to continue to have an upright editor at the helm of an important opinion maker like the CMAJ would have been risky. Already relations were strained between the CMA and CMAJ Editor. To expect the latter to toe the CMA line was improbable. Hence, the CMA, under cover of its associate company CMA Holdings (recently changed to CMA Media Inc) used the services of a newly appointed President, Graham Morris, to do the act. The salvo was fired in a three-paragraph termination by the last named gentleman. (Well, English is a civilized language):
The Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) announced that Dr. John Hoey would be leaving his post as Editor-in-Chief today.
During the ten years that Dr. Hoey has been Editor-in-Chief of CMAJ, he has broadened the scope of the publication and raised its international reputation as a respected peer-reviewed scientific journal.
The CMAJ's mission in serving its 69,000 readers is to provide accurate and up-to-date scientific and clinical information on the promotion of health and the treatment of disease (Media Advisory, 2006).
So, if the first reason was economic, the second was political. And the two scourges of modern medicine, economics and politics, managed to do in the credibility of a respectable Journal. While we know the economic-political compulsions of Associations and its office bearers, that they could not rise above their petty considerations in the larger interest of science and research is a sorry tale to recount.
The outcry at such a summary dismissal has been unanimous. Editorials by reputed journals like the Lancet (2006), the BMJ (Godlee, 2006), MJA (Van Der Wayden, 2006), articles in the NEJM (Shuchman and Redelmeier 2006; Hoey 2006), as also the ICMJE (2006) and WAME (2006), and even the lay press, have all decried the act. One of us has written rather copiously on the topic in the WAME List serve and elsewhere (Singh 2006a–e). The editors concerned have not spoken earlier about the action because they are purportedly bound by a confidentiality clause, but Hoey has since written an article discussing editorial independence (Hoey 2006) in the wake of the CMAJ crisis; while the CMA president has promised full editorial independence to the interim editorial board and editors, and urged all concerned to move ahead (Sullivan, 2006). At the time of writing, an interim editor, Noni Macdonald, and Editor Emeritus, Bruce Squires, are handling matters since March 7, 2006 (Shibbald, 2006).
Some of you may feel this is not an issue for us to discuss at all. It is only a private matter between an employer and an employee. We beg to differ. This will be the argument of any employer who holds the cards, and would want to regulate the game. For long have we believed that he can.
It is not only a private matter between an employer and an employee. The product of this employer-employee interaction is scientific knowledge and research advancement, which are of great importance to society. Hence, let us realise that it is, really speaking, a matter of scientific concern, biomedical advance, ethical conduct, and editorial independence. For all of which we toil day in and day out. Our unequivocal stand will have far reaching ramifications if we do not allow our minds to be paralysed by analysis of subsidiary concerns.
The Mens Sana Monographs wishes to record, in no uncertain terms, that this is a sorry and murky state of affairs which needs to be speedily and effectively remedied.
It demands an action plan:
What actions need be taken? We think they are basically five, based on the principles of peaceful non-cooperation:
As the dust settles on this episode, which it inevitably will, (although from all portends, the feisty members of the CMAJ Editorial Board are far from relenting at the present time), some things become clear.
This analysis can of course be disproved by action that a determined editorial board and other supporters take. And we much wish it happened. Just once. For a strong arbitrary action by an employer needs an equally strong spirited response from the editors/readers/members of CMA/researchers.
Once one editor of integrity is reinstated. Only once. No employer, or Association President, or commercial interest, will ever dare touch, or manipulate, legitimate editorial freedom.
Every time we only make noises and accept, every time editors will be upturned when they become inconvenient. And nothing substantial will change, except for the filling up of journal and discussion pages with high-sounding principles.
Well, if we want to change History, or rewrite its course, we need the steel to go all the way.
This is not the time to resign to fate, or get cynical about the lack of morals or principals. That only justifies our inaction, and emboldens the opposition.
The fate of the earlier editors of JAMA and NEJM need not be repeated in CMAJ, or for that matter anywhere else. Those who are keeping silent and are upright should realise that if they do not join the fight today, the axe will fall on them tomorrow. So they either toe the establishment line, or fight. It is suicidal to have the ostrich attitude.
It is of course premature to depict where this fight will end. But, in any case, we can look into some long-term effects of such confrontations.
If ever a lesson has to be reiterated, this episode and its unfolding aftermath should italicise it.

The Insignia BiTurbo, Opel/Vauxhall's most powerful diesel engine ever, is now available in the Insignia range. It is capable of delivering 195PS and 400Nm of torque and it has low CO2 emissions of 129g/km. This engine, which is currently on sale, is available in five-door Hatch and Sports Tourer versions in SRi, SRi Vx-line and Elite trim, with a starting price of £27,120 (33,405 Euro in Europe) on the road.
This powerful, twin-sequential turbocharged diesel is based on the existing 1956cc unit that is featured on key models in the Insignia and Astra and new Zafira Tourer range. But when in BiTurbo form, the engine can deliver as much as 35PS more power while its torque has been boosted by 50Nm.
This enables the vehicle to reduce its 0-60mph acceleration time by almost one second to 8.2 seconds (Insignia FWD Hatch). But with the help of a package filled with eco features (which include standard Start/Stop across the range), the FWD Hatch can provide a combined 57.6mpg.
This is an improvement of 2.2mpg compared to the single-turbo 2.0 CDTi 160PS model. What makes the Insignia BiTurbo exceptional in this class is its use of sequential turbocharging. At lower engine speeds, the smaller turbo can quickly accelerate and this removes 'lag', offering 350Nm of torque from only 1500rpm. These two turbochargers work together in the mid-range.
A bypass valve permits the gases to flow from the small to large unit. When in this phase, the maximum torque of 400Nm is made between 1750-2500rpm. Performance is maintained at higher engine speeds since from 3000rpm, all gases flow directly to the larger turbo.
This power increase is complemented by Vauxhall's clever FlexRide adaptive damping, which is offered as standard on all Insignia BiTurbos. This is typically an option on front-wheel drive Insignias that costs £790. Within milliseconds, this system responds to driver inputs and it can 'learn' how the driver is handling the car. The damper settings are then adjusted accordingly. Drivers could choose from Tour and Sport buttons. The throttle, steering and damper settings in Sport mode can be selected separately.
The new Opel Insignia features a blade form that has been chiseled into the side, a styling cue that would become a signature attribute of future Opel cars. In addition, the Insignia is laden with several distinct design cues like its distinctive radiator grille with a newly designed Opel emblem and sweeping front and rear light units. Another Opel Insignia design element is the powerful tapered shape of the wing lighting signature.
According to Mark Adams, Vice President of Design for GM Europe, Opel has redefined its design vocabulary, with the styling of the new Insignia following the 'sculptural artistry meets German precision,' philosophy. He remarked that the new Opel Insignia is provided with beautiful, sculptural and fluid shapes as complemented by crisp intersecting lines – giving birth to a muscular, sporty vehicle that is also elegant and graceful. He added that the Insignia was designed to add emotion into the Opel and Vauxhall brands.
On the other hand, the interior of the new Opel Insignia boasts of shapes and surfaces made from high quality materials. It features dashboard wrapping around from the instrument panel to the door, hereby seemingly embracing the car's occupants. In addition, the Insignia's exterior "blade" graphic is featured inside through the shape of the steering wheel, door grab handle, and the central gear-shift lever.
The interior of the new Opel Insignia is laden with painstakingly refined surfaces as well as crisp intersecting lines and colors. Its designers worked hard to make sure that surface finishes inside the Insignia exude the highest quality.
Designers also did not fail to consider the practicality and convenience within the Insignia. In fact, the car features good ergonomics and comes with several storage compartments. Accentuating the interior of the Insignia is an orange-red ambient light that will also be adopted in future Opel models.

'For he who lives more lives than one, more deaths than one must die.' So wrote Oscar Wilde in The Ballad of Reading Gaol and the line could not be more true of Wilde's own life and death.
A new book, More Lives Than One, by the poet Gerard Hanberry, looks at the many remarkable lives Wilde managed to fit into his lifetime, from his stellar academic achievements to his success on the stage, to his doomed love affair with the infamous Bosie, which led to his incarceration in Reading Gaol.
This family saga has enough twists and turns to rival any Jackie Collins novel. Set against the backdrop of famine, social change and revolution in Ireland, it offers a new insight into Wilde's remarkable achievements and his sad, lonely death in a hotel in Paris in 1900.
Wilde's mother, Lady Jane, was the celebrated poet Speranza and inspired the rebels of the Young Ireland movement of the 1840s. Like her son, however, she died a lonely, impoverished death. Wilde's brother, Willie, had no money to pay for their mother's gravestone, and so her remains were moved from Kensal Green Cemetery to an unknown grave and, to this day, nothing marks the spot.
Wilde's father, William, was a knighted surgeon with dark secrets of his own and a reputation as a womaniser (he was mocked by a rhyme that claimed he had 'a child in every farmhouse').
He had at least three children outside of wedlock -- two daughters and a son -- and was also embroiled in a case alleging sexual misconduct, which Hanberry presents as a 'strange foreshadowing' of the trial that brought about Oscar's ruination.
It was the young Robert Baldwin Ross who first seduced Oscar Wilde in 1886. 'Little Robbie' was openly homosexual and Wilde could not resist the 17-year-old's confident sexual advances. This marked Wilde's sexual awakening as a gay man and he began staying in hotels, telling his wife, Constance, that he needed the seclusion in order to write.
It also marked a renewed period of creativity in his work. The Picture Of Dorian Gray brought homosexuality into the mainstream, even though it was referred to in the book only as 'the love that dare not speak its name'. Still, there was no mistaking what Wilde was alluding to, and some bookshops refused to stock it when it was published in 1891.
One reader who became obsessed with the book -- reading it nine times -- was a young scholar by the name of Lord Alfred Douglas, Bosie to his friends.
Bosie was the temperamental and spoiled son of the 9th Marquess of Queensberry. When he and Wilde met, it was the beginning of the end. Bosie was wildly indiscreet, visiting male prostitutes with Wilde and raising gambling debts which he expected Wilde to pay. By this point, Wilde was consorting with so many rent-boys, who were often petty criminals and blackmailers, and dodging furious fathers, that his demise seemed only a matter of time.
In 1893, Bosie and Oscar were living together at the Savoy and visitors noted that there was only one double bed. Bosie's father was outraged by his son's lifestyle and held Oscar responsible.
One of the reasons presented by Hanberry as to why Wilde was punished so severely at his trial was to do with Queensberry's elder son, Francis, Viscount Drumlanrig.
Drumlanrig was private secretary to Lord Rosebery, foreign secretary at the time and later prime minister. It was thought that Drumlanrig and Rosebery were lovers and by the time Wilde was on trial, Queensberry threatened to reveal the prime minister's homosexuality if the case was dropped.
When Queensberry left a note at Wilde's private club in February 1895 calling Wilde a 'somdomite' (sic), Wilde took an ill-advised libel case against him (urged on by Bosie). Queensberry elicited 10 testimonies from rent boys who accused Wilde of soliciting to commit sodomy and Wilde was sentenced to two years' hard labour.
On announcing the jury's guilty verdict, the judge damned Wilde, saying: "It is the worst case I have ever tried. . . you, Wilde, have been the centre of a circle of extensive corruption of the most hideous kind among young men."
Wilde was stripped of both his dignity and his clothes, put into prison garb and fed a meal of porridge and bread. He summed up the experience later in his lengthy poem De Profundis, saying: "I sat amidst the ruins of my wonderful life, crushed by anguish, bewildered with terror, dazed through pain."
After his release, Wilde lived the rest of his life in exile and died in 1900 in the Hotel d'Alsace in Paris, not of tertiary syphilis as has been suggested, but of pyogenic meningitis following an acute illness.
There is no doubt from this book that Wilde was the brightest star both of his generation and of the Wildes. Indeed, this new examination of Wilde in the context of his family of an impoverished, needy mother, a dissolute brother and womanising father only makes his success all the more remarkable. . . and his downfall all the more heartbreaking.

Smarter Mom: Getting Your Zzzzs
When you have a new baby in the house, the idea of ever, ever being able to stay up too late again is kind of ridiculous.
Or so it would seem. But I know I am not the only mom Facebooking or working away and then looking at the computer clock in horror, calculating exactly how little sleep I'll be surviving on the next day.
I think a lot of things drive moms' tendencies to stay up too late….the aforementioned Facebook, chores, work brought home from the office, catching up with your partner or friends, or simply just being a night owl raising early-rising kids can make it very hard to get your minimum amount of sleep.
But trying to get eight hours (or however many you need) is critical to your health, well being, and ability to not be Yelly Mommy.
• Lack of sleep makes you fat. Being tired raises your level of cortisol, the stress hormone, which causes your body to hold on to fat and slows your metabolism. Too little sleep can also torpedo your eating habits. Studies have shown people who were overtired ate more refined carbs and sweets than people who had had a decent amount of rest….and who hasn't consumed a giant sugary mocha and a handful of M&Ms in an attempt to feel more awake?
• Driving while sleep-deprived can be as dangerous as driving drunk -- it slows your reactions and makes you more prone to distraction and even falling asleep at the wheel.
• Not getting enough rest means you're not performing at your best at work and at home. Being patient with your kids …or your boss…is a lot harder when you're contending with that raw feeling from a lack of sleep.
Try to get to bed even half an hour earlier …. then bump that up to an hour. You won't regret going to bed earlier, but you might just regret staying up later.
Do you stay up too late, or are you good about going to bed on time?
I stay up to about 10-10:30... not super late at all. I feel like I get no sleep. Even when my boys don't wake up I rest uneasily. IDK what it is.
i am not good at getting to bed on time and need to work on that more
i stay up kinda late sometimes...but I stay at home most mornings ha ha...i try to make sure i get 7 to 8 hours every night
I have to admit.. I stay up late. I should probably listen to my body more and get more zz's.
I'm good about going to bed on time, but my LO is up at least 4 times per night (he's 5 months old) and is up for the day at 6 am. So, I sometimes have to run on less sleep than I'd like.
I sometimes get on the computer after the kids go to bed and stay up too late. I usually get about 7 hours of sleep each night.
I canr seem to sleep lately.I am up until after 2 am.Sometimes 3 am and back up at 7 am

text: Based on the results achieved at the autostrad operation at Patrick's Fisherman Island berth 7 in Brisbane, Australia, Patrick has now placed an order for 14 Kalmar ESC straddle carriers that will be equipped for unmanned operations. The machines will be delivered to three new berths currently under construction at the company's Fisherman Islands facility in the Port of Brisbane. The expansion of autostrad operations demonstrates Patrick's trust in the autostrad concept during 12 months of genuine commercial operation with five retro-fitted Kalmar CSC straddle carriers. Howard Wren, Principal Consultant, Patrick, stated: "The first year of commercial operations with the unmanned straddles has been extremely good. In fact, the operation has met all our expectations, specifically in the areas of productivity, safety and cost efficiency." For the new berths, Patrick has decided to order newly developed Kalmar EDRIVE® straddle carriers, their high overall performance having been confirmed recently by large orders from leading European operators. Kalmar and Patrick have been working together for several years on a joint project to develop an unmanned straddle carrier operation. In mid 2002, the autostrad operation went live with the commencement of commercial operations. Kalmar's knowledge and experience has been applied to developing machine control systems that move, brake and steer the straddle carriers and ensure that the machines pick and place the containers in the correct positions. Included in this has been work on refining the capabilities of sensors for container detection and safety systems modules. Patrick has been concentrating on navigation positioning using radar, lasers and GPS, the tasking system and the traffic management system. Safety has been one of the main concerns all along. There are no people in the automated terminal. The reefer and road interchange are strictly controlled. Straddle carriers are prohibited from the reefer area if monitoring is taking place.

Plymouth automobile enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of reliability when driving their Caravelle around town. You bought your Caravelle because its dependability and economical pricing agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Plymouth vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to maintain your car or truck. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other vehicles these days.
Multi-speed climate control has been around for decades, and is a convenience we all take for granted. The small device that allows your heater to project air at different speeds is your heater blower resistor. Directly connected to your blower switch, your Plymouth Caravelle blower motor resistor adds varying amounts of resistance to the circuit that controls the blower motor. When you command your Plymouth Caravelle heater to blow on "High", it lowers the resistance so that all the amperage reaches the blower. And when you switch to low, the heater blower motor resistor raises resistance so that less amperage reaches the blower motor.
Ordering new Plymouth parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Caravelle parts on the internet. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Bring your Caravelle back to life with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Need 1985 Plymouth Caravelle Blower Motor Regulator Resistor parts? We've got them right here.

The President-elect of The Gambia, Mr. Adama Barrow, has said that the defeated President of the country, Mr. Dauda Jammeh, will hand over to him on January 19.
He said there was no way the President would manipulate the judiciary to subvert the will of the people.
Barrow, therefore, said that the President must vacate office as stated in the country's constitution on the stipulated date.
Barrow spoke with journalists in Abuja through two of his envoys.
The envoys were two elected members of the parliament.
They were Mr. Hamat Nik Bah of the National Reconciliation Party and Mr. Mai Ahmed Fatty of Gambia Moral Party.
They said that Barrow, though not a politician, was chosen by six opposition political parties and an independent presidential aspirant to confront Jammeh during the presidential election, which they said he won.
Jammeh, who has been ruling the tiny West African country for the past 22 years, had initially conceded defeat and congratulated Barrow before making a U-turn.
Apart from rejecting the outcome of the election, Jammeh also said he had annulled it.
He also filed a petition before the country's Supreme Court, praying it to cancel the election and order a rerun.
The President said the rerun would be handled by those he described as credible electoral officers made up of men and women of integrity.

Warsaw, Krakow and Gdansk. How many days should I stay ?
Hello Everybody,
Report Abuse
Krakow for 4-5 nights is a good choice - beautiful city and you can also take day trips to Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliszcka Salt Mines if you're looking for things in the region.
I'd probably suggest 2 full days (3 nights) in Warsaw and 3-4 nights in Gdansk.
Report Abuse
I agree with madamtrashheap -- 2 full days for Warsaw and 4 or 5 full days for Krakow. (Don't miss the Lady with an Ermine.) I haven't been to Gdansk yet.
Report Abuse
I did a trip from Gdansk to Torun, Wroclaw, and Krakow (skipped Warsaw, continued on to Czech Republic instead). Click on my name to read my trip report/view my pictures. I took trains everywhere (not particularly nice but cheap and efficient).
I spent 3 nights in Gdansk and 3 nights in Krakow. There is a lot to do and see in Krakow, and it is time consuming (assuming you go to Auschwitz). With 3 nights and long travel days arriving and departing, a 4th night would have been nice, to give me more time just to explore the city without haste. It is a nice town.
Three nights in Gdansk was enough for me, though. It is a nice city too (hard to compare to Krakow - very different; far less touristy than Krakow) and depending on your interests, there's a lot to see there too, but it didn't take me as long to see it. I was a bit disappointed with a couple of the side trips. Sopot, the beach resort, was kind of nice but also kind of a yawn. I could have missed it. On the other hand, I enjoyed my day trip to Malbork castle very much (fantastic castle - if you have even the slightest interest in castles I highly recommend it).
Between Gdansk and Wroclaw (which I also enjoyed), I stopped for one night in the adorable town of Torun, which I assume also makes a convenient stop between Gdansk and Warsaw by train. There isn't tons to see in the town if you're a museum buff, but it's just a cute town, great town center, really nice. (The place is known for its gingerbread which you smell everywhere plus it's the birth place of Copernicus.) I recommend a night there if you can fit it in between Gdansk and Warsaw. It makes a nice contrast to all of the other big cities on your itinerary, even though Torun is really not such a "small town" itself. (but it feels much smaller than those other cities.)

4-5 days in Krakow and 2 days in Warsaw. I was disappointed in Warsaw. The best thing I saw there was the Uprising (Rising) Museum.
I loved Krakow - I've been there twice and would love to return. It's beautiful with lots of interesting sightseeing and friendly people.
kja - you keep recommending the Lady with an Ermine and I'm jealous you got to see it. She was not there during my two visits to Krakow. Perhaps next time she'll stay put!
Report Abuse
"you keep recommending the Lady with an Ermine and I'm jealous you got to see it. " Oh my, adrienne, she is truly special. When I saw her, she was in a small room, on an easel all by herself, with just a few chairs arrayed in front of her. I was alone with her for quite a while. It was such a treat! I do hope you get to see her some day.

Thanks the above experiences. Very useful opinions because it will be the fist time I visit Poland.
Hello kja, What is the Lady with an Ermine ??
Can you tell more?

<< What is the Lady with an Ermine >>
It amazes me that people still are unaware of internet search engines.

Warsaw for a whole day? I might drop in for a coffee but that is about it. Malbork near Gdansk is worth a day trip
Report Abuse
hkchemsir, the Lady with the Ermine, was painted by Leonardo da Vinci. (read the wiki article link for more info) I found this painting even more fascinating than Mona Lisa. Perhaps it is the quieter setting where one can stop and study without being jostled by crowds. Perhaps it was the smaller museum which to me was not so overwhelming. At any rate it is not to be missed when you are in Krakow.
Report Abuse
As I understand it, the museum in which the Lady with an Ermine has her permanent home -- the Czartoryski Museum -- has been renovated recently; I don't believe that her setting is quite as private as it once was. Still, she is not to be missed.
Report Abuse
I saw the Lady with an Ermine this July and she was still housed in Wawel Castle. Is Czartoryski done now? It wasn't this summer.
Two nights Warsaw, five (or six) Krakow is what I would do. Unfortunately I've not been to Gdansk. Loved Poland, a very interesting and--to me--soulful destination. Have a great trip!
Report Abuse
It seems that she moved back from Wawel Castle to the Czartoryski upon its re-opening - but by all means, google it and be sure you know before you find yourself in charming Krakow!

I think that Krakow is beautiful.
I was in Good Bye Lenin Hostel for 4 days. This is a nice hostel in the city center. Everything is close . Rooms clean and nice ... like Krakow . I would recommend to stay there longer .

Hi guys, from my experience I may some things about Gdansk. You should stay there min. 3 days, here's a lot of things to do and see, especially if you want to visit the whole Tricity - Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia. What is more the district around is very interesting in historical point of view, but also wonderful landscapes you might see here. I was with my family in May and we used a service from http://www.travelgdansk.pl/tours.php they have a lot of options even for families with children. They can even take you to other city if you're planning to visit further! I hope some info you may find useful. Reny

Yes, you should try to put Torun in your schedule. It's a beauty and wonderfully situated on the river.
If it's conveniently on your route - and you've got the time - one night in Czestochowa gives you the chance to experience the pilgrimage for the Black Madonna icon at the Jasna Gora monastery.
All in my opinion a much better use of your time than Warsaw.

I spent 3 days in Warsaw, and for me, that was not enough. I'm interested in WWII and the Cold War, and there was lots to see there. In fact, I'm planning on returning to Warsaw in either June or September to see what I missed.
Torun was a great town. Pleasant old town with lots of young families enjoying the charm of the city. I thought Gdansk had a lot to offer, including a lovely old town. Nearby is Westerplatte, where WWII was started, and the Solidarity Museum is not to be missed. So important in the history of Poland and of eastern Europe.

SEATTLE — Lamar Neagle didn't get his first start until the Seattle Sounders' fifth game of the season. He's been on fire ever since.
Neagle's latest impressive performance may have been his best yet. The Federal Way native scored a goal, had an assist and drew a penalty to lead the Sounders to a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps in front of 53,679 fans on Sunday. He now has four goals and three assists in his last eight appearances.
"He's playing well," Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid said simply. "His running off the ball, his hold-up play tonight was pretty good, it was much, much better than it's been. The connection of passes as a result of that. He's just done really, really well. You can't ask a lot more of a forward than that."
OPTA Chalkboard: Neagle, Martins indomitable vs. 'Caps
Schmid was also quick to point that Neagle was a key component to the Sounders defense. Neagle was tasked with helping out on the Whitecaps' third central midfielder, Jun Marques Davidson, who was just 10-of-22 passing.
"I remember last year we played in Vancouver once where Davidson had all day and all night to spray the ball around," Schmid said. "And tonight he didn't have any impact on the game. That was Lamar's doing and something that most people probably didn't see."
What most observers couldn't miss was Neagle's offensive contributions. The forward got off to a fast start, feeding a perfect ball to Andy Rose on the Sounders' first goal.
"He's been doing such a good job dropping into that hole right behind the front man, and his vision and first touch have been incredible," said Rose, whose only other MLS goal came about 10 months ago. "He turned and saw me running through, and when a forward drops off like that there is always a hole. The defender went with him and I was able to get through that hole, take a good first touch, and slot it."
Neagle continued to create chances throughout the match and was finally rewarded for his work when he drew a penalty that set up Servando Carrasco's equalizing goal.
In a rather fitting cap to his performance, Neagle scored the game-winner off an Obafemi Martins cross.
"I saw [Martins] one on one, so once he made his move toward the line to beat his guy I knew I had to get in front of my defender and it would be an easy pass right to the near post," Neagle said.
The only problem at this point is figuring out where Neagle should play once the Sounders have a full complement of players. Martins and Eddie Johnson seem the natural choices at forward and it's hard to imagine wide midfielders Brad Evans or Mauro Rosales going to the bench, either.
Schmid couldn't say where, exactly, Neagle will play. But the coach did guarantee that his hottest attacker will be out there on the pitch one way or another.
"We'll see, we'll see," Schmid said. "He'll be on the field, I'll find a place for him on the field."

Kim and Kanye sizzle together
Inside their brand new €9m LA home
'Kimye' have never exactly been camera shy, but this surely takes the cake. Socialite-turned-mogul Kim Kardashian and her rapper beau Kanye West have taken their love to a whole new level - a naked one, in front of the cameras.
The happy couple, who are expecting their first child together later this year, have posed for a very sexy cover shoot with French men's magazine L'Officiel Hommes, which sees a topless Kim clutching onto her other half.
Kim has revealed that the Gold Digger singer has taught her "a lot about privacy" and what information she puts in the public domain. Although Kanye has appeared on her hit reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, he has reportedly banned their baby from the cameras and is even taking a step back himself.
Rumours have been circulating that the socialite will quit her multi-million euro programme with the E! network as she embarks on motherhood for the first time. "I'm ready to be a little less open about some things, like my relationships," Kim added. "I'm realising everyone doesn't need to know everything. I'm shifting my priorities."
"As everyone knows, we are extremely proud of the show and all of us are staying on through at least season 10. The show remains to be my number 1 priority and it's a big part of my life and I enjoy every moment of it.
Meanwhile, the expectant parents are taking their lavish lifestyles up a few notches and bought a new €9m mansion in Bel-Air just weeks ago. However, they are already reportedly already thinking of flipping for a €1m profit. The couple are said to want to be closer to the Kardashian/Jenner clan, who have based themselves in the Calabasas area of California. Anything is possible with those two!

I am just super *giddy* right now!
I'm literally extra excited to the point of disorientation (maybe?) as I haven't been this fueled about a new recipe in a few days! Really, like since my no-bake blueberry vanilla cheesecake recipe, which by the way you need to try!
Okay (deep breathing to relax)…
After a rather onerous weekend, I was left wondering in my mind if I would have the gumption to create something fantastic this week. Then it came to me!
Sincerely, today's masterpiece recipe was therapeutic, and made me sing comparably as much as witnessing (okay basketball fans) Russell Westbrook's massive 4th consecutive triple-double (a first since Michael Jordan in 1989) today!
So… Allow me the honors of introduce you to my Sweet n' Savory Life soft, chewy, warm, "move-out-of-the-way-Toll-House" delicious, vegan, and paleo chocolate chip cookies!
These chocolate chip cookies are the best! Almost hard to remember that they are vegan and paleo.
I've made chocolate chip cookies here before, and they were certainly good, but these arguably surpassed them requiring no grains, nor refined sugar. Crazy huh?
I do hope by the way that some of you are impressed by the new selection of paleo recipes. I have been working on not only gluten free and vegan recipes, but like wise refined sugar free and paleo so that we can all celebrate!
Really! You should celebrate when you make these! Surprise coworkers and family with your new allergy-friendly expertise, or simply tie these paleo chocolate chip cookies in some cutesy ribbon, place them in creative packaging, and drop them by a girlfriend's house to say, "yep, I still thinks you're an awesome BFF!"
No doubt, you're gonna shine if you make these!
So yes, bookmark the recipe, tweet about it, or pin it to your Pinterest, because this is a simple and delicious way to shine like the sun!
Aren't they just lovely? Ready? Set? Go make them!
- Dry Ingredients Bowl:
- 2 cups + 2 tbsp of super fine blanched almond meal
- ½ cup chocolate or carob chips
- ¼ + ⅛ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp himalayan sea salt
- _
- Liquid Ingredients Bowl:
- ½ cup unrefined coconut oil, melted
- ¼ cup + 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp almond or coconut milk
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium/large sized mixing bowl.
- In a second medium sized bowl, melt the coconut oil, and then add remaining liquid ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Next, add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix well until cookie dough is formed.
- Then, to prepare for baking, place non-stick parchment paper onto a cookie pan, and begin rolling 16 to 18 uniform sized cookies, placing each spaced well apart on the cookie pan. Gently press cookies down with your fingers, but only a little!
- Place cookies into the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
- After 9-10 minutes, or 12 minutes max, remove cookies from oven, and allow to cool outside of the oven for 5-10 minutes before eating.
Note: These chocolate chip cookies can store in your refrigerator for a week or more and still taste yummy! Of course, nothing is like cookies fresh out of the oven, when they are the softest. Make sure you share with your family!
So did you make 'em yet?
Let me know in the comments if you did. I would love to know about your new found paleo chocolate chip cookie addiction :)

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
I submitted a new application a week ago and it was approved (this time using a different mailing address and email address).
My question is this: Why am I not able to see any ads on my site? I AM able to see them on one of my ad boxes (I have 2 different adsense ad styles on my site), but ONLY when I view the cached version of my index page.
Thanks in advance for you help.
Any info. would be great.
Don't waste your time. Take all the Adsense ads off, join one of the other banner ad programs, and start afresh.
FWIW, a couple of others were re-accepted after being suspended, but a few days later AdSense re-suspended those accounts, even when different contact information was used.
No great loss. My site is too small to make any money with those ads anyway.
What other banner ads do people suggest? I've read about others here, but don't know which is almost equal to Adsense.
Check out the Advertising forum [webmasterworld.com] for other ideas you can use instead of AdSense.
Still don't know why they accepted me into the program if they have no intention of running ads on my site
Probably because you put some effort into tricking them you were someone else (different mailing address, different email address).
You probably passed the quick human review, but the backup automated ban on your site didn't get fooled by your new email address/mailing address.
A more in depth review would have happened when you actually had a payout due, so it was probably bound to surface that you were banned sooner or later.
Thanks for the advice guys. I really have learned my lesson though, no matter what anyone else thinks.
hey usavetele, what i mean was that you may have been forgiven and was given another chance.
I personally think one of three things is happening:
1. They are watching the activitiy on my site and adsense back office.
2. They are swamped with dealing with other more important and much bigger accounts and haven't caught up to mine yet.
3. They are teasing me by letting me into the program, but their intention is to never lett my site display ads again.
Just my thoughts and I have nothing ot loose at this point by showing the error message "ads" way down below my page text.
I have no desire to make another site just so I can display the adsense ads. Not worth my time since I'm an amatuer.
Adsense is great-yes, but it doesn't work for everyone. You have already broke the rules-look elsewhere for your income.
I've tried Fast Click at least twice and acouple of others I can't remember the names of.head over to one of the other webmaster forums and you will find many, many other banner networks discussed/rated. In addition have a look at [webmasterworld.com...] where you will find a few others mentioned

The team is sailing fast to Cabo…
Yesterday we were sailing from Guadalupe to Baja. We saw lots of common dolphin's jumping all over the place. There were at least 100. We also saw a tropic bird which has a really long tail. I helped sail the boat. I had to keep it on course at 120 degrees by looking at the compass and then steering the big wheel.
This morning we saw even more common dolphins and what we think was a false killer whale. It was black all over with a small dorsal fin. We are still trying to catch a fish and this morning we pulled in a bunch of sea weed.
It is getting warmer out but I still have not change my clothes since I first got on this ship. – Ben


text: I've been working on a new Android application over the last few months and feel that I'm getting close to being able to start having it tested. However, all of the images I'm using are, for all intents and purposes, placeholders. I'm at a point where I really need to find a graphic artist and, possibly, some testers. I'm not talking about a "lot" of artwork, but it really depends on how creative we'd like to get. It's "mostly" a few title screens and a bunch of icons, possibly with animation on the icons. If you're interested, please PM me what your rate is, perhaps with a few samples of your work. I'm open to a flat hourly rate or possibly profit-sharing (assuming there "IS" a profit ). I've contacted several artists on the web and many are just too busy to help, haven't responded, or the email links to them are dead. Thanks in advance!

FC Dallas at Real Salt Lake: Report card
Nussdorfer AC Salt Lake City, UTJuly 11, 2011 9:08 a.m.
Schuler did ok this game. The one problem he had was getting a head on the ball on long clearances from Dallas. A couple times he let the ball get behind him allowing FCD players to run on to it. This led to a couple of FCD's chances. RSL as a whole needs to tighten that up (as it led to the disater against New England).
Other than that RSL was dominant and looked very strong.
