Food / / August 12, 2017
To make the color of the product supply and improve their kind used in the food industry, natural and synthetic dyes.The main aim in this case is to try to boost sales.Dyes did not affect the taste of food and the process of assimilation by the human body.Dyes are added to the lemonade, cola and similar drinks, sweets, puddings, ice cream, alcohol, margarine and cheese.Natural dyes are produced by extraction from a variety of fruits and vegetables such as red beet, sweet pepper, spinach and oranges.Artificial colorants synthesized chemically.Foods containing natural dyes, are considered, in general, non-hazardous to health.With respect to artificial dyes caution should be exercised.They may cause allergies and under certain conditions even cause cancer.It should be especially warned about the dangers of azo dyes (containing Alizarin).
dyes indicated as E 100 to 180, 579, 585.
Preservatives Preservatives are used to extend the shelf life of food products.Among them are also different natural and synthetic substances.Organic preservatives which include, for example, acetic acid or lactic acid, generally regarded as safe.Synthetic preservatives sometimes cause allergies, up to asthma attacks, headaches and nausea, and can even affect heredity.It is especially important to avoid foods that contain nitrates.In the industrial production of food additive nitrate in pickled products (salted fish, meat) is designed to suppress the vital activity of bacteria.In humans, the nitrates are converted into nitrates, which prevent absorption of oxygen, i.e.lead to oxygen starvation of the body.
preservatives assigned letters E 200 to 290, 1125.
preservatives, antioxidants designed to protect food from spoilage, and this is done by suppressing the reaction with oxygen.The best known antioxidants include ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which is synthesized by chemical means, but is harmless.Vitamin E as an antioxidant found in butter and margarine, and protects them from rancidity.It is doubtful whether eating foods with synthetic antioxidants.They cause, particularly in children, allergic response, and headaches.The letters
preservatives - E 300 to 322, 574.
With the help of emulsifiers may be mixed with foods such substances with which they normally do not mix, eg water and fats vozdhom.Thanks to emulsifiers water is deposited on the surface of the margarine, mayonnaise and desserts.Among the known natural emulsifiers can be mentioned, for instance, lecithin and fatty acids.They are considered harmless.In addition, by incorporating air food emulsifiers make products more texture thick, creamy or foamed.The letters
emulsifiers - E 322, 442, 470 by 495.
acidity regulators
The name of these substances indicates that they regulate the acid content of the foodstuff.Scope of acidity regulators rather narrow, as a number of food products, which should neutralize the acidity level, generally small.Without exception, acidity regulators considered harmless.
acidity regulator assigned letters E 170, from 261 to 263, 500.
with acid producers seek to improve the taste of food.Acidity create a feeling of freshness.In addition, acids and bases are fillers.Usually used as acidulants substances of natural origin, which are therefore harmless.The letters
acidifiers - E 260, 270, 296, 297, 330, 334, 574.
thickeners and gelling additives
Strictly speaking, in the field of chemistry thickeners and gelling additives food products are different types of additives, butpractice, this difference can be neglected, since most have thickeners and gelling properties at the same time.Most known additives of this group are agar-agar, and are also pektin.Syuda modified potato and corn starches.Thickeners and gelling additives are used in the manufacture of jelly, marmalade and jams, puddings, desserts, ice cream, pastries, as well as in the production of sausages.Housewives, these substances are known as binding additives in soups, sauces and desserts.
thickeners and gelling agents are produced from various raw materials, such as algae, carob seed or apples.Most of thickeners of natural origin and are considered harmless, but some can cause digestive disorders, impair digestion of proteins
thickeners and gelling additives are designated letters E 400 to 464, with 1404 1450.
Thanks toits antimicrobial properties of stabilizers ensure the safety and permanence of food and the taste of food.By stabilizers include nitrites nitraty.Stabilizatory and widely used in the production of sausages and other meat products to maintain stability tsveta.Odnako in the products themselves but also in the gastrointestinal tract of nitrate and nitrite to form new connections of the called nitrosamines that cause cancer.Installed as other side effects of stabilizers, for example, they violate the digestion of food and reduce soprotivalyaemost to infections.
stabilizers prisvoevny letters E to 249 252, with 461 by 476, with 575 by 585 and 1404 by 1450.
additives used in the food industry for the introduction of metallionov in aqueous solutions in order to fix the color, flavorand product consistency.Some of these compounds also inhibit the bitter taste of sweeteners.Most of the locking harmless additives, phosphates may only cause hyperactivity in children.
fixing additives marked with the letters E 325 341 472, with 576 for 578.
Amplifiers of taste
are used mainly in the production of meat products and sausages, as well as in the confectionery industry.The name of these substances indicates that they are intended to intensify the flavor of food quality.The most well-known flavor enhancer glutamate refers.Additives of this group can not be considered completely harmless.In persons with increased sensitivity after eating such foods can develop the so-called "Chinese" syndrome accompanied by headaches, a feeling of squeezing the temples and rigidity (immobility) cervical pozvankov.In experiments with maltol conducted on animals, marked changes in the blood picture and functional disorders of the nervous tissue.The letters
flavor enhancer - E with 620 637.
Modified starches
are universal action.They can be used as:
- thickeners
- gelling additives
- stabilizers, emulsifiers
- glazed additives
Modified starches are used in products in which it is necessary to adjust the so-called "mouth feel".Animal experiments proved that these additives cause the deposition of calcium (lime) in the pelvis and kidney.
The letters modified starches - E with 1404 1450.
improvers Flour
They are a small group of additives designed to improve the quality of products baking.In an industrial scale with their help possible to increase qualities such as resistance test of gluten in the gap, the ability to batch fermentation and stability.In general, the baked flour improvers enhance the quality of the test.It can be called askarbinovuyu acid Notable improvers.During baking it turns into vitamin C. From a medical point of view, the concentration of the additive does not matter.Cysteine increases ductility formed dough and is used mainly in the production of biscuits.All flour improvers for toxicologically harmless.
Litera improvers Flour - E300.
Furnace powders
known not only producers, but each owner.They help test approach, loosen it.However, apparently furnace powders not so harmless as it considered.Soda, baking soda and potash really not dangerous, they can continue to be used for the preparation of dough for pies.However, ammonium carbonate, used in baking Christmas cake and sour sodium aluminophosphate (alum) inflict a considerable damage to health.The letters
furnace powders - E 500 to 504, 541, 575.
gases used in greenhouses and packing
Many of these gases are integral parts of the air we breathe.Some of them belong to a number of noble gases, the effects of which are food interactions can not opasatsmya.all gases used in greenhouses and packaging harmless.The letters
gases - E290 with 938 on 948.
glazed additives
These additives include modified starches, which generally form their own separate group of additives.Modified starches are introduced into the coatings, they also increase the shelf life of food products and protect them from desiccation.Typically, problems arise here.However, in animal studies, the link between vyevlena enriched feed phosphates and calcium deposits (liming) in the pelvis and kidney.
glaze assigned letters E with 1405 by 1450.
Humidifiers are used in the confectionery and bakery industry in order to maintain the product in a sufficiently moist, and in particular, the soft state.This is achieved by dobavok- hygroscopic humectants, which act as sweeteners sorbitol and mannitol.Due to the fact that these two agents simultaneously have a laxative effect, they should be used in limited quantities.The letters
humidifiers - £ 420 for 422.
foaming additives and defoamers
As the blowing agent used mostly treated cellulose ether.Blowing agents used in the manufacture of bakery products, as well as fillers are in the dietary produktah.Po fact, foaming additives are harmless, although they can both promote digestion, and brake it.
Defoamers are used to protivopolpzhnymi tselyami.Uzhe their very name suggests, they are designed to prevent foaming of the product in its packaging and use.A striking example of such additives can serve as a dimethylpolysiloxane, which is used, for example, to suppress foaming fats used for deep-frying.Defoamers are also harmless.
foaming additives are designated by letters - E 461 at 475, defoamers - E900.
Soli-Soli melters
-melters support the product's ability to swell support emulsifying properties of proteins thus prevent product separation and isolation from it fat or water.Used mainly in the production of cheese, preventing the separation of curd and whey mololchnoy fat.In general, the salt-melters is considered to be harmless, but research is underway, designed to check suspicions that potassium phosphate can cause hyperactivity in children.The letters
salt-melters - £ 325 for 341, 472b.
Increase product weight.A typical example is chewing gum and diet products.To prevent adhesion of common salt used magnesium carbonate.Sometimes fillers act as thickeners, stabilizers and disintegrants.
fillers are designated by letters - E170 with 460 at 465.504.
Designed to prevent mixing of components or sticking them in clumps.Examples are substances used to prevent adhesion of common salt or baking powder sahara.Dobavka improves fluidity produkta.V generally considered safe.The letters
baking powder - E170, 470a and b, 504, 578.
Basic additives
This is a large group of additives.They are very widely used in the food industry.Most of them are harmless, but may prevent alginates micronutrient absorption in the intestine and degrade protein digestion.In animal experiments carrageenan induced intestinal pathology, altered immune response.The powder is produced from the seeds of guarana contain toxic residues, such as hydrocyanic acid.
They contain approximately one-fourth of the food product.Consumers and manufacturers believe that the flavoring additive improves the taste of food.Their use can also be explained by the fact that during processing natural smells of raw materials, tend to be unstable.Large food manufacturers have special laboratories, which employ chemists, engineers and specialists flavors.Industry produces flavorings as such, but also uses them for production of drinks, ice cream, chewing gum, candies, puddings, sauces and ready meals.
Unlike other additives, flavorings do not have individual names in the international practice is not indicated as E. Typically, the packaging simply indicates the presence of the flavoring product.Aramotizatory are divided into the following groups:
- natural aromatizatory- produced from raw materials of plant or animal origin, with the help of enzymes, natural or mokrobiologicheskih technologies.In these processes may additionally participate dyes and preservatives, as well as flavor enhancers and antioxidants.Natural flavors are extremely expensive and are used only in cases where there is no opportunity to develop fragrances, flavorings or artificial;
- aromatic ekstrakty- extremely rare, are concentrated natural flavors.Their chemical composition is still unknown;
- fragrances, flavorings, - have a laboratory origin.Dolozhny have a similar chemical structure to the natural;
- artificial aromatizatory- have nothing to do with the natural.As a purely chemical compounds, often fully reproduce the natural analogue, or even exceed it.

Keywords: Bob Campbell Geology Museum, museums
A room full of 10,000 rocks might not sound like the makings of a fascinating afternoon outing, but the informative displays and the sheer beauty of many of the specimens fulfills the museum's mission of using these samples to awaken a curiosity about the natural world.
There is something to interest everyone at this wonderful small museum. When I was there, a little boy stood in awe in front of the smilodon – a saber-tooth tiger skeleton – affectionately referred to as Clemson's first tiger. Nearby, I had some fun holding my comparatively meager engagement ring up to some of the extraordinary and gorgeous gems in the display case.
The highlight of the museum, however, is definitely the Florescent Room. At the back of the museum, you enter a small room with several seemingly nondescript rocks behind glass. As you shut the door behind you and press the button to your left, the lights dim. A recorded voice explains the florescent nature of some rocks when they are hit with certain forms of light. Suddenly those nondescript rocks are all glowing various shades of green, orange and white. It's stunning.
The Bob Campbell Geology Museum is open Wednesday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. Admission is $3 for adults, $2 for children, and free for children under age 2. For more information visit www.clemson.edu/public/geomuseum.

The element that distinguishes the Holocaust was the search for G-d. From morning till night we cried out for a sign that G-d was still with us... We sought Him, but we did not find Him. We were always accompanied by the crushing and unsettling feeling that G-d had disappeared from our midst.Testimony of Holocaust Survivor.
This is the translation of the text where "HaShoah" was found:
G-d said to Moses: When you go and lie with your ancestors, this nation shall rise up and stray after the alien gods of the land into which
they are coming. They will thus abandon Me and violate the covenant that I have made with them. I will then display anger and abandon them.
I will hide My face from them and they will be [their enemies'] prey. Beset by many evils and troubles, they will say, "It is because
my G-d is no longer with me that these evils have befallen me." On that day I will utterly hide My face because of all the evil that
they have done in turning to alien gods Dvarim (Deuteronomy) 31:16-18
Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.Violent Neo-Nazi activity and Arab hatred towards the Jews is rapidly increasing in the world today. This is not a coincidence. Only a strong Jewish education for every single Jew, for every Jewish family, in every Jewish community in the world, can prevent tragedy from ever happening again.

Human Rights in Islam
By Zaheda, Mariyam, and Abrar
The Pre-Islamic Era
This was a time where human rights were being violated.
Such as:
Women did not have any rights and people were very cruel to baby girls, even burying them alive!
People used to kill their neighbors over trivial matters.
Slaves were brutally oppressed
The Prophet (p.b.u.h)
The Prophet Muhammed was born into the Pre-Islamic era, however he was completely different from many of the other people of his time.
Even before he became a Prophet, at a young age, he began showing people what human rights were through his actions and behavior.
One of the ways he did this was by showing people his good behavior, and how you should treat others. People used to call him Al- Sadiq and Al-Ameen and used to leave their valuable possessions with him, as they knew he would protect them.
However the true beginning of human rights in Arabia came when Islam was revealed to the Prophet.
This was because part of the religion of Islam was observing human rights.
Another important thing that the Prophet did for human rights at a young age, was that he joined an organization called The League of the Virtuous, which was committed to defending the weak and opposing the tyrants.
The Quran ordered people to observe many kinds of human rights, which people had been ignoring during the Pre-Islamic Era.
These were:
Right to Life and Peaceful Living
Right to Own and Produce Property
Rights of Minorities and Other religious groups
Women's Rights
Human Rights in the Quran
After the revelation to the Prophet, it was observed that many of the verses of the Qur'an promoted rights of humans regardless of their color, ethnicity or cultural background.
Became the foundation upon which the modern Islamic human rights came about
Rights regarding equality
Emphasized the equality of man as deriving from the Unity of its common Creator.
"O mankind, be mindful of your duty to your Lord, Who created you from a single soul and from the same, created its mate and from them twain caused to spread large numbers of men and women; and be mindful of your duty to Allah, in Whose name you appeal to one another, and be mindful of the ties of kinship" (4:2)
Rights concering unlawful killing
Infanticide, murder and suicide were deemed forbidden (haram) in the eyes of Allah.
"Wherefore We prescribed for the children of Israel that whosoever killed a person- unless it be for killing a person or creating disorder in the land- it shall be as if he had slaughtered all mankind; and whoso secures the life of one, it shall be as if he secured the life of all mankind" (5:33)
Abolition of slavery
Quran also promoted abolition of slavery that persisted during the Pre-Islamic era.
Slaves were treated extremely harshly.
Treatment of the captives as commanded by the prophet after the Muslim's victory in battle of Badr greatly affected the mindsets of the people.
Modern Day Islamic human rights
Modern day Islamic Human rights in Arab countries vary greatly from each other.
In some parts of the Muslim world, there is little respect for human rights, whilst other countries treat the issue with more importance.
Arab and Non- Arab countries
Cairo provides very few rights to religious minorities and also considers converting from Islam to another religion as a felony.
Executions and public hangings are held frequently and prisoners are brutally tortured in Saudi Arabia. Women have minimal rights as they are not allowed to work, are forced to conceal their bodies and are always supposed to be accompanied by a male blood relative.
Current regime in Pakistan brought torture, extrajudicial and unofficial executions and other violations in basic human rights
Main concern was the concept of honor killing, which cost lives of many young men and women, especially women that shamed their households.
It is evident that the human rights in Arab countries currently are very poor.
Main cause of this would be that many of these countries are in political turmoil as they all consist of weak or unstable forms of government.
However, from personal perspective, it is important that they realize that Islam was one religion that firmly established rights for humans and that they should represent their country's foremost religion by upholding those rules.

Predators captain Shea Weber is day to day after getting hit in the face by a puck late in the second period of a 3-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.
Weber dropped to the ice at 15:24 of the second after being hit by a puck near his right eye. The defenceman got up and skated immediately to the locker room and did not return with what team officials called an upper-body injury.
He came into the game tied with Erik Karlsson of Ottawa, Torey Krug of Boston and Michael Stone of Phoenix for the most goals among NHL defencemen with seven. Weber is the only defenceman leading his team in goals.
"Obviously, if we lose our captain, it's always hard, and we hope he's OK and hopefully he gets back soon," Nashville defenceman Roman Josi said.

'The whole house is destroyed' - Family's lucky escape from house blaze after granddad woke up to 'popping and crackling' sounds
THIS is the moment an intense fire ripped through the roof of a family home.
The family had a lucky escape after the fire ignited while they slept.
Christy Stenson, his wife Ann, and grandson Liam, were forced to flee the flames when the blaze started in the attic of their semi detached house on Walnut Rise in Glasnevin.
Five units of Dublin Fire Brigade from Phibsboro, North Strand and Finglas fought the fire for over an hour to bring it under control.
Christy told how he had woken to the sounds of popping and crackling over his head at around 3am.
"I didn't know what the noise was. I thought it was something in the bathroom and I went to check and I couldn't see anything there," he told the Herald.
"My grandson is a diabetic and I thought maybe he might not be well or something, but then I got a suspicion that it was something in the attic.
"I pulled down the stairs from the attic and then I could see just see the whole attic was glowing and I shut the hatch and got everyone out," Christy explained.
"I was trying to dial 999 but I didn't realise that the landline was burned through so I had to go back upstairs to get the mobile.
"By the time the fire brigade arrived the flames were dancing off the roof. The whole house is destroyed," he added.
Liam's medical supplies were also salvaged by the fire crew.
"I told them I'm diabetic and that all my insulin was upstairs and one of the firemen went up and found it for me," he said.
The Stenson's were today trying to salvage what they could from the house.

Bristol, United Kingdom (PressExposure) March 03, 2009 -- In the face of economic hardship, small firms are increasing the amount they spend on marketing in order to boost sales, according to a new survey.
Small firms in the UK are facing the recession head on, with the majority planning to spend more on marketing in order to increase sales, according to a survey of 1,300 small firms by accounting software specialist KashFlow.
Specialist SME website Marketing Donut has analysed the results and they show that small businesses are in bullish mood. Three-quarters of small businesses are predicting sales growth in 2009 and more than half plan to spend more on marketing.
Small firms are also prepared to change what they sell in order to achieve sales growth. According to the survey, more than 60 per cent of small businesses intend to diversify to survive the recession.
In difficult trading conditions, small businesses are proving to be both proactive and flexible.
Itâs a winning combination, says Ray Jones, head of communication at the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and expert contributor to Marketing Donut. âMuch like retailers who instinctively put umbrellas out when it rains, businesses with a good research-based understanding of their customers should be able to identify what they want when times are economically hard,â he says.
The positive approach being shown by SMEs is not blind optimism. The survey shows that small business owners believe that the recession will last about two years and 20 per cent fear it may last three years or more.
Small firms are taking the lead when it comes to recovery, according to Duane Jackson, managing director of KashFlow. âIf the UK economy needs inspiration to work its way out of this recession, then it should look no further than the country's SMEs. They are seeking out new business opportunities, spending more on marketing and employing more staff.â
Jackson continues: âThe dynamic response of SMEs and sheer bloody-mindedness is the approach larger businesses and financiers should be taking to drag us through the current downturn.â

Rep. Carl Seel suggested that the Independent Redistricting Commission's mapping consultants may have put him in a less Republican district in retaliation for his legislative record.

The development is notable because Higgins' endorsement means that two Mesa council members have officially declared their support for Lewis, and a third has donated to Lewis' campaign.
How Pearce and the Mormon church see immigration depends on point of view
Senate President Russell Pearce's recent remarks that he has his church's consent — or at least some sort of passive approval — to continue pushing for enforcement-only immigration laws has left some fellow Mormons astounded by the suggestion he is in perfect harmony with it.Read More »
Lewis' fundraising reports show mostly Mesa support
Republican Jerry Lewis' fundraising figures show his core support is homegrown, a far cry from insinuations that he's backed by "outsiders" intent to topple Senate President Russell Pearce and quash Arizona's battle against illegal immigration.Read More »

Environment group stages anti-coal protest
A protestor who chained himself to a coal exploration drill rig at Bacchus Marsh, west of Melbourne, has come down after talking to police.
The group Switch Off Coal is protesting against Mantle Mining's exploration in the region.
One of the members of the group used thumb-cuffs to attach himself to the drill rig on a roadside.
Mantle Mining started testing for brown coal in the area two weeks ago.
The group says the community has not been consulted and the agriculture industry will suffer if mining is allowed.
Protester Shaun Murray chained himself to a drilling rig at one of the test sites.
"This is probably the most advanced coal project and as such, it represents the first attempt to build or undertake a new coal development in Victoria in 15 years," he said.
Another protester, Paul Connor, says money should be invested in renewable energy, not coal.
"We need to be transitioning away from coal. Brown coal is the dirtiest kind of coal," he said.
"Mantle Mining is claiming that they can burn the brown coal slightly more efficiently, but this technology that they're planning to use is in no way compatible with a safe climate future for this planet."
Premier Ted Baillieu says there is no guarantee Mantle Mining will be granted a mining permit at Bacchus Marsh.
"We have different provisions in Victoria and to the extent that Mantle Mining have been seeking or they have an exploration permit, that's all they have, they don't have any development permits," he said.
As the protest continues, Environment Victoria's Mark Wakeham has told a state parliamentary inquiry there should be a moratorium on coal seam gas projects pending a thorough investigation.
"We'd like to make sure that we look properly at the implications of developing a coal seam gas industry in Victoria," he said.
The organisation says the environmental impact assessment of the projects is insufficient.

SAN MARCOS -- Sheriff's commanders are beefing up patrols to address a spike in auto thefts and reassigning some deputies to meet the demands of a growing population, authorities said Wednesday.
Auto thefts in this city of 63,500 rose from 199 cases in 2002 to 270 cases in 2003, according to the San Marcos Sheriff's Station's annual report released Wednesday.
The report also shows that while some crimes are increasing, resources are thinning -- the city's population has grown 10.4 percent since 1999 while the ratio of deputies to every 1,000 residents has decreased over the last five years, from 1.23 to 1.05.
The number is well below the county average of 1.36 cops per 1,000 people.
The ratio has declined in part, said Capt. Kim Quaco, the sheriff's station commander, because the city created six deputy positions between 1999 and 2001, but no positions have been added since then.
As the ratio of deputies to residents has dropped, calls for service have increased from 28,005 in 2002 to 30,185 in 2003, the sheriff's report shows.
Quaco said the station has reassigned two of its 94 sworn deputies from the Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving program to full-time patrol positions as a result. The transfer means the deputies will spend more time patrolling the streets. There are 10 community policing deputies left.
Also, the station has added a noon-to-midnight shift to put more deputies on the streets during a midafternoon shift change, he said.
Quaco said he and City Manager Rick Gittings will evaluate San Marcos' population growth next year to determine whether more deputies are needed.
To address the increasing auto thefts, deputies are stepping up patrols in areas where large numbers of cars are being stolen, such as the movie theater complex on San Marcos Boulevard and apartment complexes, Quaco said.
The jump in car thefts was largely responsible for an increase in overall crime in San Marcos, which rose 9 percent from 24.3 crimes committed per 1,000 residents in 2002 to 26.4 crimes committed per 1,000 in 2003, Quaco said.
"I think everybody in North County is seeing an increase in (auto thefts)," Quaco said.
Violent crime in San Marcos increased from 191 cases in 2002 to 205 in 2003, according to the sheriff's report. Property crime increased from 1,279 cases in 2002 to 1,475 in 2003.
Violent crime includes homicide, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. Property crime includes burglary, larceny theft and motor vehicle theft according to the FBI crime index.
In the violent crime category, the most significant increase was in the number of rapes, which rose from eight in 2002 to 18 in 2003. Quaco said the rapes either were committed by acquaintances or those romantically involved with their victims. There were no stranger rapes, he said.
Murders also increased from one in 2002 to three in 2003. Last year, a man shot and killed his estranged wife and her friend at the Twin Oaks Valley Mobile Home Park before committing suicide. Another man was fatally stabbed in 2003 by an acquaintance at a Jack In The Box restaurant's parking lot on Capalina Road.
As for property crimes, larceny thefts and auto thefts showed the most significant increases. Larceny thefts rose from 643 cases in 2002 to 765 cases in 2003, the report shows.
A majority of those thefts are vehicles break-ins and shoplifting arrests at the city's largest retail outlets, the captain said.
Quaco said a bad economy and unemployment could be contributing factors in the auto theft spike. Hondas, Nissans and Ford pickup trucks were some of the most frequently stolen vehicles in the city.
Instead of stripping the vehicles for parts, crooks in San Marcos and across North County use them mostly to commit other crimes or for transportation, sheriff's officials said.
"It is not unusual for stolen vehicles to be used for other crimes such as robberies and burglaries," sheriff's Lt. Sean Gerrity said. "They (thieves) want to avoid detection."
In addition to increasing patrols, San Marcos detectives have joined a North County auto theft task force and deputies are conducting undercover auto details to combat the problem, Quaco said.

What is attorney and why do I need a tax attoprney?A Tax attorney is a lawyer who helps the taxpayer resolve his/her IRS (Internal Revenue Service) or state revenue department tax issue. They are legal experts in the field of taxation. They arecan do a terrific job helping one remove bank levies, wage garnishments, tax liens, and can help prepare settlements, such as the much-publicized offer in compromise. Overall, if you have a tax experienced in dealing with he IRS.
The tax law is complex and a tax attorney experr is the only one able to deal with technical issues under the complex internal revenue code. Every year the tax law changes, and every year there are new ways to help the taxpayer enforce their rights against the IRS. For most tax debt issues, the best way to approach favorable resolution is through effective representation from an attorney, and the best advice in tax resolution is: hire your tax attorney now, before your problem gets worst.
Small business entrepreneurs often times have tax attorneys on staff as part of their payroll, because they are easily adept at negotiating with both issues of taxation and most financial aspects in business. They can set up business trust funds, stock portfolios, and financial accounts. They are also an entrepreneurs first line of defense against tax debt and taxation issues. They can elucidate many of your key legal issues with the IRS or state revenue department before they become a problem, and in a recent survey, tax debt and it's associated problems are affecting three out of every ten taxpayers. On average, tax debt can cost a business and/or individual thousands of dollars in IRS penalties, interest and court fees, and if approached right, most of these fees can be avoided through the strategic use of a seasoned tax attorney.
Tax attorneys are law technicians, and have dedicated most of their time towards researching the changes and evolutions within the tax law. They can draft all of your contracts and file your tax returns accurately and duly. When confronted with a large, insurmountable tax debt, many taxpayers think filing bankruptcy is the final solution for your tax problem. This is inherently untrue. If you are not aware of the rules of the bankruptcy court and proceedings, you can get into serious legal entanglements, often times doing much more harm than good. So consult with or have a good tax attorney on staff to help deal with most of your key financial points, especially tax debt.

SF to LA Memorial Day weekend superchargers
SF to LA Memorial Day weekend superchargers
Glad you had a great trip. Nice to see no issues on a very busy weekend. I can't wait for the Model X so that we can ditch the SUV as well.
There should indeed be some supercharging etiquette - move your model S when it is done charging please!!!
glad it worked out for you. hope you had a good time.
I use the Gilroy Supercharging Stations at least once a week at lunch time.I am leaving my Morgan Hill workplace by 11:30 to be assured a spot. So far so good. But on several occasions I have occupied the 4th spot.
I usually don't need much more than a half charge so after In-n-Out, Chinese or a Salad I'm good. Like everything else I'm sure Tesla knows the usage pattern in Gilroy. I'm thinking their gonna need additional chargers soon.
Is there an alarm on our Tesla app that alerts us to our batteries being full? I'm not aware of it. I would go back to my car and park elsewhere if I had more shopping or eating to do. At this point I am monitoring my charge level via the Tesla app pretty regularly although it may be inconsiderate of my lunch-mate, but if I am distracted maybe a prompt would be good.
I believe ChargePoint does send a text at charging's completion.
I use the time remaining estimate on the phone app which is pretty accurate for normal charging. Close enough for supercharging.
Seems like the charger could handshake with the car including VIN. Once that's known could be tied to a owner and their contact information. It would be good if the application would text when done.
It's really important to move your car as soon as it's done. Nobody parks in front of a gas pump and goes off to dinner. Same rule applies here.
It is easy in Gilroy to misjudge the time spend in the shops. If you have one of these smart phones you could set an alarm to remind you to check the charging status.
Gilroy may be the busiest Supercharger, especially on weekends. I agree that they need to add more capacity there.
In the mean time, as a courtesy, Model S owners should display something like this placard with contact information and expected charging completion time indicated with a paper clip:
(Designed for J1772 connections which can be disconnected, but you get the idea).
I do wonder how many nearby residents are abusing the privilege of "free charging" at Gilroy, when they could quite easily charge at home overnight? I believe Superchargers are intended for those who are passing through, not locals, and such a privilege should not be abused (e.g., doing all your charging at Gilroy, once a day).
How can you tell if a parked Model S is still charging? When you lock the car, eventually the green light dims and the display goes dark, even when it is still charging, right? The Superchargers have no "current flowing" indicators that I am aware of (an oversight they should fix). Hence the need for the placard (which could even be electronic).
I suggest that the charge port should actually unlock itself whenever charging is complete (but only when Supercharging). This would allow others to use the same cable instead of having to wait for someone else to finish shopping and return to the car.
Unfortunately though, the SuperCharger cables are too short to allow the "hose" to reach more than a single vehicle. A 20' SuperCharger cable would be pretty heavy and difficult to handle. They may never be able to fix that issue without some type of "Lazy Susan" station redesign.
In sum, please be courteous to your fellow Model S owners. When the Superchargers are really busy, charge to get what you need, no more. And please move your car as soon as you get what you need, even if you have to interrupt your lunch to do it.
If shopping center Superchargers tend to involve people shopping longer than the car takes to charge, perhaps Tesla should tweak the Supercharger design so that each set of 12 10kw charger modules can feed four Supercharger cables, instead of the current two. That way, when a car that's been topped off is still using a cable, it's not so likely to be tying up any of the charger modules. Adding the extra cables shouldn't require the electric monopoly to do anything the way adding more charger modules might, so if Tesla wanted this in place by July 4, I bet they could make it happen.
(I don't claim that four is necessarily the optimal number to use in the long term, but it might be a good number to try out.)
I also wonder if calling Tesla to report a problem with the Superchargers (namely, that they're full) every time it happens would be worthwhile. Maybe they can identify the owners of the cars that are topped off and blocking access to the Superchargers and call those folks and ask them to move, and in any case, if Tesla gets lots of complaints, they may be more likely to fix this.
One other interesting question is whether adding Superchargers at a nearby highway rest area would be useful. I bet right now, some people react to a long wait for the Supercharger by shopping even more. If the shopping center knew that Supercharger users had a good alternative if they don't provide enough Supercharger bays, they may have more of an incentive to work with Tesla to expand the Superchargers as needed.
@Joel - agreed on most of your points, but some things to consider
- shopping malls in urban areas are short of parking space and there are not willing to have too many dedicated spots for EV charging. So it is not up to Tesla to just add more spaces.
- super chargers are supposed to be in well lit areas were you feel safe and comfortable to spend 30 min ( e.g. women ). I have been to many gas stations were I thought hanging around for 2 min was way too long ( as a male ).
- Gilroy is a special case... it has to support too many travel paths
(a) Bay Area to LA and Las Vegas via I5
(b) Bay Area travel down 101
(c) Bay Area weekend travel to Monterey / Carmel
(d) Bay Area shopping at Gilroy outlets
- Bay Area has thousands of MSs now and growing fast - I got mine 3/1 first but now my humble neighborhood has seven. All these folks have only one super charger for their longer distance travels south.
- better options to relieve Gilroy would be a second SC on 152 just over the hill there is a large rest area ( for I5 travel ) or at 101/156 intersection ( to support 101 and Monterey travel)
And I all say this as a spoiled brat because we have plenty of SCs in California - lets get some more in the rest of the country first. I absolutely do not mind waiting in Gilroy while others have nothing, zero, nada...
Excellent point about moving when completed, or leaving a number to call.
Point of note: after the car is locked, the lights around the charge port go off. I don't think the dash stays lit up either (I am not 100% on this...) but, if I am correct, how would you know if someone else is finished charging?
Hmmm...... Maybe moving forward Tesla should start with a minimum of six stalls instead of four. More initial outlay, but they won't be as likely to need upgrading as quickly.
@bt77057 - you're right - there is no visual indication after charging starts and the car is locked, what state it is in (charging or full).
Another recommendation is to confirm you're getting charged before you leave. I've had a couple of cases where it connected, but I was getting no charge after 5 minutes. Even tried unplugging and replugging in. Moved to another spot and all was fine. I think this is rare, but either check before you go or check your app on your phone. Usually you start getting a charge in 30 seconds or so.
Sunday late afternoon can be quite crowded at Gilroy. Had to wait 20 minutes to get in, and 3 more MS showed up after me (and one was already on the adjacent slow J1772 charger) who took my spot after I left. Still, it was a nice place to be if you do have to wait.
As part of the SuperCharger software infrastructure update, all users should register their mobile phone # in the TM database website and when your vehicle is approaching 10 mins before, 5 mins before, 4 mins,....until the battery is full, send a SMS to the owner alerting them of their status so he / she can be courteous enough to return to their vehicle to drive out of the charging bay. Since the MS is full-time 3G, this is possible.
Also, the SuperChargers can be updated with a display, during the final countdown, display the owner's mobile # so the next MS in line can contact the owner as a courtesy reminder.
None of us want to stay at the SC beyond what is needed to refill our battery pack and any means of being more efficient will make use of these SuperChargers a pleasant experience.
"Done" is overdoing it, anyway. The SCs are designed to get you quickly from maybe 20 to 70%, not to 100%. That last 20% or so can take as much time as the previous 50%; I believe the charge rate drops to 40A or so.
Once the car locks, the charging indicator lights on the car no longer display. With the standard charging cable, if one presses the button on the connector while it is locked into the car (which one would normally do to open the charger door prior to plugging in) the lights on the car charging port then display temporarily to show you the charging status. Saw this at Santana Row today. Not sure if the same applies to the supercharger connector or not. I would presume so, but others may know.
"For the return trip we charged max at my parents and skipped Tejon going straight to Harris."
I am planning a trip to Berkeley from LA this weekend. I was thinking about skipping Tejon, but worry that the I may not make it.
By Google map the distance from LA to Harris Ranch is just under 200 miles. The maximum "real world" mileage I've ever had on my MS was 202 miles. I am concerned that the initial 50 mils of uphill over the pass might significantly reduce the range.
How many miles did you drive from your parents' to Harris Ranch?

Really lovely card. I love the way you've layed out the card and the colours you've used.ReplyDelete
Your card is stunning! Unfortunately it is an 8x8 card and for Cards in Envy we only accept 5x5 or smaller cards as the card must fit flat into an envelope AND not be oversized so as to only cost first class postage. Also, thick flowers or other lumpy bumpy embellishments aren't allowed. That's why our challenge is called Cards in Envy--card must fit flat into a first class envy. Since your entry will not qualify for a winner or Top Three; I will go ahead and remove your link so if you wish to make another card for our challenge this one won't count toward the 3 card limit. Thank you for your understanding and thank you for sharing your beautiful card with us at Cards in Envy!ReplyDelete

Shenzhen, China (PressExposure) October 19, 2009 -- The number of people making the decision to start an online business is staggering. With traditional jobs being at risk in today's current economy, we now see a growing trend of people wanting to make good money while also being able to take some degree of control.One option for achieving just this starts when you register on eBay and as you will discover, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination and hard work.
Although you could register on eBay and then determine the direction you want to take your online company, we recommend you start first by getting an idea of what it is you want to sell on eBay and strategies for making a profit. A common problem is that people will simply choose a particular product because it sounds fun and exciting. Sure, you want your adventure on eBay to be thrilling, but to reach a high level of success you also need to identify a market niche.
Therefore, prior to taking the step to register on eBay, conduct research online to see what people are buying. For instance, clothing is always a huge seller online, especially with online auction sites. The key is that to grab a piece of the market specific to apparel, you want to consider specializing on something within the clothing market. In this case, you could focus your eBay store on nothing but jeans for the entire family or perhaps baby clothes.
By narrowing down the focus on something very specific within the clothing arena, you have a much better chance to develop a successful business. As an example, if you wanted to register on eBay and then set up a store for baby clothes, it is important that you sell top brands, that any used clothing items are in perfect condition, and if possible, that you sell unique designs challenging to find anywhere else. In addition, while the store might sell primarily clothing items for babies, you could also offer supplemental items to include things such as shoes, socks, bibs, crib sheets, receiving blankets, diaper bags, etc.
The great thing when you register on eBay is that you have the choice of finding items to sell at a local thrift store, estate sale, garage sale, or from your own inventory, or you can set up an affiliate with a reputable baby clothing store or even choose to become a drop seller for new merchandise. In any case, you want to keep items interesting while providing customers with a nice selection. Over time, you will begin to build your customer base while drawing new people to your eBay store.
The other reason it is important to register on eBay after you have decided what you want to sell is that you can then design and set up your store so it complements and enhances the products being sold. Ultimately, putting things in order strategically will save you time and effort in trying to change design and structure after the fact. Setting up the store based on the products you plan to sell lets you customize the look and feel of your eBay store to make it more appealing.
After you register on eBay and you have your store designed, the next step is to list items being sold, making sure the price is competitive while giving customers a great bargain. Remember, eBay serves two primary purposes - it creates a global online flea market where millions of people can come to buy and sell and it gives customers a way of buying quality merchandise without spending a fortune. Of course, you will need to make changes over time but starting with a solid foundation certainly makes the process fun and the results profitable.

A wide-spread power outage has swept through Oberlin city today, according to Oberlin police officer McCloskey.
Although uncertain if those in the townships lost power, McCloskey confirmed the outage within the city limits.
The cause is not clear, but McCloskey says it may be a shortage in Ohio Edison's system, the company that controls Oberlin's energy.
Because the stop lights have lost power, police are out in the streets controlling traffic and setting up temporary stop signs.

SACRAMENTO -- Treated waste exported from Los Angeles and other counties into the Central Valley would be subject to additional testing under a bil approved by the Assembly on Thursday.
The measure, by Assemblyman Rudy Salas Jr. (D-Bakersfield), is the latest show of long-simmering tension in Kern County, where residents have objected to imports of sewage sludge, the semi-solid material leftover after treatment of human waste. The city of Los Angeles owns 4,700 acres in Kern County, where the sewage sludge, also known as "biosolids," is recycled as fertilizer.
Most experts say such recycled products are safe if handled properly. In response, Salas has pointed to a 2009 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study, which found a number of heavy metals, pathogens and other worrisome contaminants in sludge samples.
"They even found 11 flame retardants, if you can believe that," Salas said in an interview Wednesday. "So what I'm saying is, why don't we use all the science that we know and test for all these additional factors so that we can make sure people are safe."
In 2006, residents of Kern County overwhelmingly approved a local measure that would ban the import of sludge from outside the county. Los Angeles, arguing the measure conflicted with statewide waste management laws, sued; the ban has not been enforced while the matter remains in litigation.
Salas originally sought to revive the ban through legislation, introducing a bill that would give Kern County supervisors authority to block the import of waste from other counties. But facing stiff resistance from Los Angeles (and its large statehouse delegation), he reframed the bill this week to focus on testing.
The bill would now allow the State Water Board to perform two tests per year for two years, screening for pathogens, endotoxins and other contaminants.
Despite the scaling back of the bill, the city of Los Angeles remains opposed.
"We have a very extensive battery of tests that we run on the product already," said Enrique Zaldivar, executive director of the Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation. He said any additional testing, as prescribed by the measure, would be "redundant and unnecessarily expensive."
The bill, AB 371, passed 49-6, with many members from the Los Angeles area abstaining.
The Assembly also approved a measure requiring more disclosure in campaign ads, a proposal that the bill's sponsor, Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) characterized as "I am not a doctor but I play one on TV."
The measure requires campaign advertisements to disclose if a person portraying a licensed professional, such as a doctor or teacher, is a paid spokesperson for the campaign.
The bill, AB 510, ensures that "voters are not misled into thinking the opinion of paid spokespersons are those of licensed professionals," Ammiano said.
The measure passed 58-15. Both bills now move to the state Senate.

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Kazakhstan Weighs New Religion Restrictions
- Grieved Presbyterians Seek Way Forward
- PBS Documentary Suggests Exodus Not Real
- India Christians Forced to Flee
Kazakhstan Weighs New Religion Restrictions
The Baptist Press reports that Kazakhstan, which already places burdens on religious organizations, will substantially increase restrictions on expressions of faith if new legislation becomes law, according to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. The former member of the Soviet bloc already requires religious groups to register with the government. Under current law, unregistered groups have to pay fines and supposedly "non-traditional" religious bodies are prohibited from registering or have their registration applications significantly delayed, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) reported. The new measure would increase the number of members a religious group must have to register from 10 to 50; prohibit smaller religious bodies from teaching or professing their faith, owning property or renting public buildings; and prohibit gifts from anonymous or foreign donors.
Grieved Presbyterians Seek Way Forward
Christian Post reports that conservative members of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) are organizing to discuss the governing body's recent decision favoring homosexuality. In June, the General Assembly approved an "authoritative interpretation" of church order that removed a clause stating that marriage is between a man and a woman, among similar measures. The Assembly's actions "have caused a crisis of conscience within the denomination," said Renee Guth, executive director of the New Wineskins Association of Churches, a network of some 200 conservative Presbyterian churches discontent with the PC(USA). About 200 church leaders will attend the New Wineskins meeting in Atlanta on Aug. 6-7 ahead of their annual convention.
PBS Documentary Suggests Exodus Not Real
The Orlando Sentinel reports that a new PBS documentary, titled "The Bible's Buried Secrets," will upset anyone who claims a literal and inerrant interpretation of Scripture. "It challenges the Bible's stories if you want to read them literally, and that will disturb many people," says archaeologist William Dever, who specializes in Israel's history. The program goes on to discuss how the Bible was written by hundreds of authors in sixth century BC, at least five books of it during the Babylonian exile. The program also challenges Abraham, Sarah and their offspring as actual historical figures. Still, says Duke University religion professor Carol Meyers, "it doesn't mean that there's no kernel of truth to it."
India Christians Forced to Flee
In India's West Bengal state, local Christians and missionaries faced death threats for their faith, according to Mission News Network. Fourteen members of a Gospel for Asia church were severely beaten and forced to leave their homes on July 10, after being accused of forcing conversions and bringing an illness on the village. The mob threatened to kill the believers if they remained in the village. Village leader Negesh Rai brought the matter to the attention of local police, which led to calls for his resignation by protesting villagers. On July 16, the believers were removed to a different area for safety.

Tear Down the Freeway, Or Fix It Up?
The freeway shows a lot of wear and tear, but transportation folks say they can keep it going for a while longer. But Van Robinson, head of the Syracuse Common Council, has another idea:
Emma Jacobs reports:
"Robinson's subscribed to an idea popular with a lot of urban advocates that downtown expressways should be torn down. Along with some citizens' groups and the Mayor, he'd like to see an urban boulevard at street level. Something that makes you interact with the city, not zip right through it.
However, some argue that interacting with all those cross streets could bring back the congestion and long commutes that downtown expressways were originally built to address."

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Adapted from Gourmet, February 2000
1/2 medium pineapple, peeled, quartered lengthwise, and cored
3/4 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon dark rum
1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
2 tablespoons dark rum for sprinkling over cake
Special equipment: A well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet. If you lack a cast-iron skillet of this size, make the caramel in a small pot and scrape it into the bottom of a similarly-sized cake pan. (I used a 9″ cake pan in the pictures above.)
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Make topping:
Cut pineapple crosswise into 3/8-inch-thick pieces. Melt butter in skillet. Add brown sugar and simmer over moderate heat, stirring, four minutes. Remove from heat. Arrange pineapple on top of sugar mixture in concentric circles, overlapping pieces slightly.
Make batter:
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, then gradually beat in granulated sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and rum. Add half of flour mixture and beat on low speed just until blended. Beat in pineapple juice, then add remaining flour mixture, beating just until blended. (Batter may appear slightly curdled.)
Spoon batter over pineapple topping and spread evenly. Bake cake in middle of oven until golden and a tester comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. Let cake stand in skillet five minutes. Invert a plate over skillet and invert cake onto plate (keeping plate and skillet firmly pressed together). Replace any pineapple stuck to bottom of skillet. Sprinkle rum over cake and cool on plate on a rack.
Serve cake just warm or at room temperature.
Do ahead: Cake may be made one day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
I used the rum that is called for in the cake but did not sprinkle the rest over the top since little kids were going to be eating this as well as adults.

PAWS September Volunteer of the Month: Julia Mitchell
September 10, 2016
Meet Julia Mitchell, our September Volunteer of the Month!
When did you start volunteering at PAWS?
I began volunteering at PAWS in 2013 with my son, who was completing a volunteer project for school.
What jobs/roles have you performed at PAWS?
I started as a dog walker and transporting dogs to veterinary appointments. My family and I fostered dogs, then I began working as an adoption counselor.
What do you currently do as a volunteer?
Now I am an adoption counselor.
Why do you volunteer at PAWS?
Our community and the animals who are a part of it are so fortunate to have PAWS. Working together, all the volunteers and staff make PAWS a sanctuary for cats and dogs in need of a home. There is something for everyone who wants to help at PAWS, regardless of the amount of time you have available.
When you're not at PAWS, what do you like to do with your time?
When I'm not at PAWS, I enjoy reading, walking my dogs, and exploring the Finger Lakes region of New York with my family.
What do you like best about being a PAWS volunteer? What do you find to be the most rewarding?
PAWS has a strong sense of mission and the volunteers and staff work together toward the common goal of placing cats and dogs in appropriate, forever homes. I love adoption days--there's nothing like seeing a happy family leaving with a happy dog!
If someone asked you why they should volunteer at PAWS, what answer would you give?
Volunteering at PAWS is a wonderful way to be a part of an organization with a clear and important purpose. In addition, your fellow volunteers and staff will enrich your life with their friendship and dedication to the cats and dogs in their care.

Stocks Update
- Details
- Published on Friday, 20 September 2013 13:44
- Written by RTT News
After turning in a lackluster performance throughout the previous session, stocks may continue to experience choppy trading on Friday. The major index futures are currently pointing to a mixed open for the markets. While the Dow futures are down by 14 points, the Nasdaq futures are up by 3 points.
A relatively quiet day on both the economic and corporate news fronts may keep trading activity somewhat subdued as traders continue to digest Wednesday's surprise Federal Reserve announcement.
In light of the central bank's unexpected decision to refrain from scaling back its stimulus program, traders are likely to keep an eye on remarks from several Fed officials.
Ahead of a speech on monetary policy to the New York Association for Business Economics, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard told Bloomberg that the decision to hold off on tapering was a "borderline" call that reflected weaker data.
Bullard said the Fed's next meeting in late October would a "live meeting," noting that "it's possible you could get some data that change the complexion of the outlook and could make the committee be comfortable with a small taper in October."
Kansas City Fed President Esther George, Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota, and Fed Governor Daniel Tarullo are also due to deliver remarks at separate events.
George voted against the recent Fed decision to maintain the asset purchase program at its current pace, expressing concerns that the continued high level of monetary accommodation increases the risks of future economic and financial imbalances.
Traders are also likely to keep an eye on developments in Washington, where the House is expected to vote on a spending bill that keeps the federal government running but defunds President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law.
While the bill is likely to pass the Republican-controlled House, the Democratic-controlled Senate is likely to reject the language cutting off funding for Obamacare.
The standoff over Obamacare could result in a government shutdown if a new continuing resolution is not passed before funding runs out at the end of the month.
Following the Federal Reserve-inspired rally seen on Wednesday, stocks turned in a relatively lackluster performance throughout the trading day on Thursday.
The major averages eventually ended the day mixed, as the tech-heavy Nasdaq extended its upward move but the Dow and the S&P 500 gave back some ground.
While the Nasdaq edged up 5.74 points or 0.2 percent to 3,789.38, the Dow dipped 40.39 points or 0.3 percent to 15,636.55 and the S&P 500 slipped 3.18 points or 0.2 percent to 1,722.34.
In overseas trading, stocks markets across the Asia-Pacific region moved mostly lower on Friday, although several markets were closed for public holidays. Japan's Nikkei 225 Index edged down by 0.2 percent, while Australia's All Ordinaries Index dropped by 0.3 percent.
The major European markets are also seeing modest weakness on the day. The French CAC 40 Index is down by 0.1 percent, while the U.K.'s FTSE 100 Index and the German DAX Index are both down by 0.2 percent.
In commodities trading, crude oil futures are sliding $0.89 to $105.50 a barrel after tumbling $1.68 to $106.39 a barrel on Thursday. Gold futures are falling $18 to $1,351.30 an ounce. In the previous session, gold jumped $61.70 to $1,369.30 an ounce.
On the currency front, the U.S. dollar is trading at 99.51 yen compared to the 99.45 yen it fetched at the close of New York trading on Thursday. Against the euro, the dollar is valued at $1.3529 compared to yesterday's $1.3530.

BP pledged on Wednesday to cooperate with the United States after the government filed a suit against the energy giant for damages caused by this year's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
"BP will answer the government's allegations in a timely manner and will continue to cooperate with all government investigations and inquiries," said the firm in a statement.
BP, one of nine companies named in the complaint filed by the Justice Department with a federal court in New Orleans, stressed it had already made great efforts towards cleaning up the devastating spill.
"Alone among the parties, BP has stepped up to pay for the clean-up of the oil, setting aside 20 billion dollars to pay all legitimate claims," it said in the statement.
"We took these steps before any legal determination of responsibility and will continue to fulfil our commitments in the Gulf as the legal process unfolds."
It further pointed out that the filing of the suit was "solely a statement of the government's allegations."
The filing "does not in any manner constitute any finding of liability or any judicial finding that the allegations have merit," added the company.
BP, the world's third largest oil company, has been selling off assets around the world to raise 30 billion dollars to cover both the clean-up and compensation costs of the spill. It has estimated its exposure at nearly 40 billion dollars.
Attorney General Eric Holder said the complaint alleged that "violations of safety and operational regulations" caused the April 20 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig, which sent nearly five millions of barrels of oil gushing into the Gulf.

It is one of those perfect days outside. The right mixture of sunny and breezy. One of those days where you catch yourself looking out the window and day dreaming. Am I alone in that? If not, here's a new thing to dream about - bright stairs that make a statement.
These stairs were featured in the June issue of Country Living and are the first thing you see upon entering Lisa's home (Lisa is a talented designer and the creative force behind this little paint line here). So today, we are pleased to announce that we have added a new product to the lineup available on the website: the stairs kits.
With so much interest in Lisa's stairs - I can't tell you how many emails I received about them - we decided to put together a package that would enable you all at home to create this look yourselves. The kit contains hand mixed glazes in three colors and a step by step (no pun intended) instruction guide on how to create this look.
Check out the new product right here and learn all the details.
Coming tomorrow - a new room. How about a sneak peek?
think greens and blues... be sure to check back tomorrow to see the whole thing!

Christmas is hard. Festive adverts are unreal. The in-laws can strain any relationship. So it's worth seeing how January goes before calling in the lawyers
It's the third day of Christmas, and we've hit the middle of the week in which it's traditional to look at one's true love, think "actually, I'm not sure you're my true love at all" and apply for a decree nisi. Last year one legal firm predicted a 332% rise in divorce inquiries in January, compared with the preceding four months, with hundreds of thousands of people apparently gritting their teeth through Christmas and new year, in order to make it to the first working day of January, nicknamed "divorce day", before ending their marriage.
